Up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock 

 

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees (the “selling stockholders”) of up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 (“common stock”), issuable upon the conversion of the convertible promissory note issued pursuant to a Promissory Note, dated March 19, 2024, as amended on October 1, 2024, by and between us and an accredited investor (the “Promissory Note”).

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf process, the selling stockholders may, from time to time, offer and sell up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock as described in this prospectus in one or more offerings.

 

To the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular offering of such securities by the selling stockholders, we or the selling stockholders will provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the specific terms of that offering. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we and the selling stockholders may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses that may contain material information relating to these offerings. Any such prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, you should rely on the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, as applicable.

 

Neither we nor the selling stockholders have authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any applicable free writing prospectuses prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. Neither we nor the selling stockholders take any responsibility for, nor provide any assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. Neither we nor the selling stockholders will make an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

You should read the entire prospectus and any prospectus supplement and any related issuer free writing prospectus, as well as the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any prospectus supplement or any related issuer free writing prospectus, together with the additional information described under “Where You Can Find More Information,” before making an investment decision. You should also carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” herein. Neither the delivery of this prospectus or any prospectus supplement or any issuer free writing prospectus nor any sale made hereunder shall under any circumstances imply that the information contained or incorporated by reference herein or in any prospectus supplement or issuer free writing prospectus is correct as of any date subsequent to the date hereof or of such prospectus supplement or issuer free writing prospectus, as applicable. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any document incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the applicable documents, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of securities. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

 

This prospectus incorporates by reference, and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may contain and incorporate by reference, market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe these sources are reliable, neither we nor the selling stockholders guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and neither we nor the selling stockholders have independently verified this information. In addition, the market and industry data and forecasts that may be included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any applicable free writing prospectus may involve estimates, assumptions and other risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on this information.

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. See “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements” appearing in this prospectus and in the documents we file with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but are not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms, or similar expressions. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this prospectus, and in particular those factors referenced in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following risks, uncertainties and other factors:

 

  We have incurred significant losses since inception and may not be able to achieve significant revenues or profitability.

 

  We are devoting substantially all of our efforts towards research and development of our DeepView System.

 

  We depend on government funding, which if lost or reduced, could have a material adverse effect on our research and development activities and our ability to commercialize our DeepView technology. Our largest contract is with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”) and is the largest single source of revenue for us. Our BARDA contract is not guaranteed to be completed or extended.

 

 

The regulatory review process is expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain and we may be unable to obtain clearance, approval, De Novo classification, or certification for our DeepView technology.

 

  We are highly dependent on our senior management, directors and key personnel, and our business could be harmed if we are unable to attract and retain personnel necessary for our success.
     
  We may experience significant delays in completing clinical trials, which could prevent or significantly delay our targeted product launch timeframe and impair our viability and business plan.

 

  New legislation and regulations and legislative and regulatory reforms may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain regulatory clearance, approval, De Novo classification, or certification of our DeepView System, or to manufacture, market and distribute our device after clearance, approval, or classification is obtained.

 

  Disruptions at the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies caused by funding shortages or global health concerns could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner, which could negatively impact our business.

 

iii

 

  The ongoing labor shortage may limit our ability or the investigators’ ability to find and retain medical staff that are needed to conduct the clinical studies.

 

  Modifications to our DeepView System may require new clearances, approvals, De Novo classifications, certifications, or new or amended certifications, and may require us to cease marketing or to recall the modified device until clearances, approvals, De Novo classifications, or the relevant certifications are obtained.

  

  Quality problems and product liability claims could lead to recalls or safety alerts, reputational harm, adverse verdicts or costly settlements, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

 

  We must comply with anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, false claims, transparency, and other healthcare laws and regulations.

 

  If our manufacturers fail to comply with the regulatory quality system regulations or any applicable equivalent regulations, our proposed operations could be interrupted, and our operating results would suffer.

 

  Actual or perceived failure to comply with data protection, privacy and security laws, regulations, standards and other requirements could negatively affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

  As the regulatory framework for AI technology evolves, our business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected.

 

  If we are unable to establish sales, marketing and distribution capabilities either on our own or in collaboration with third parties, we may not be successful in commercializing our DeepView System, if approved.

 

  We may not be able to achieve or maintain satisfactory pricing and margins for our DeepView technology.

 

  We will depend upon third-party suppliers, including contract manufacturers and single and sole source suppliers, making us vulnerable to supply shortages and price fluctuations that could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

  We may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, which could disrupt our operations.

 

  The use of artificial intelligence, including machine learning, in our analytics platforms may result in reputational harm or liability.

 

  Product liability suits, whether or not meritorious, could be brought against us due to an alleged defective product or for the misuse of our DeepView System. These suits could result in expensive and time-consuming litigation, payment of substantial damages, and an increase in our insurance rates.

 

  The success of our algorithms depends on our significant repository of proprietary data.

 

iv

 

  Changes in patent law or its interpretation could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our existing and future products.

 

  Our patent rights and other intellectual property may be subject to priority, ownership or inventorship disputes, interferences, and similar proceedings and we may not be able to enforce our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

 

  Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

 

  We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and the Company’s management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance and investor relations initiatives.

  

  The price of our common stock may be volatile.

 

  Changes in laws, regulations or rules, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations or rules, may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations.

 

  If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the trading price of our common stock may decline.

 

  Certain existing stockholders purchased, or may purchase, securities in the Company at a price below the current trading price of such securities and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price. Future investors in the Company may not experience a similar rate of return.

 

  Warrants may become exercisable for common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

   

We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference herein and therein, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in the “Risk Factors” section of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance.

 

You should read this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement, any related free-writing prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement herein and therein represent our views as of the date of this prospectus are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this prospectus.

ABOUT SPECTRAL AI, INC.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,” “Spectral,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to Spectral AI, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

We are an AI company focused on predictive medical diagnostics. Our DeepView System uses proprietary AI algorithms to distinguish between fully damaged, partially damaged and healthy human tissue characters invisible to the naked eye, at the initial time point of wound presentation. The DeepView System delivers a binary prediction on the wounds capacity to heal or not-heal by a specified time point in the future. Our DeepView System’s output is specifically engineered to assist the physician in making a more accurate, timely and informed decision regarding the treatment of the patient’s wounds. Our focus from 2013 through 2021 was on the burn indication. In 2022, we expanded our focus to include the DFU indication.

 

Spectral AI is devoting substantially all of its efforts towards research and development of its DeepView® Wound Imaging System, currently focused on burn wounds and diabetic foot ulcer (“DFU”) indications, specifically engineered to allow physicians to make a more accurate, timely and informed decision for treatment options. The Company has not generated any product revenue to date. The Company currently generates revenue from contract development and research services by providing such services to governmental agencies, primarily to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”) and under a contract with the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (“MTEC”).

 

In September 2023, the Company executed its third contract with BARDA for a multi-year Project BioShield (“PBS”) contract, valued at up to approximately $150.0 million (the “PBS BARDA Contract”). This multi-year contract includes an initial award of nearly $54.9 million to support the clinical validation and FDA clearance of DeepView® for commercial development and distribution purposes. The Company completed the second contract with BARDA, referred to as BARDA Burn II, which was signed in July 2019 and completed in November 2023. Under this contract, the Company furthered the DeepView System design, developed the AI algorithm, and took steps to obtain FDA approval.

 

In April 2023, the Company received a $4.0 million grant from MTEC for a project that is expected to be completed by April 2025 (the “MTEC Agreement”). The MTEC Agreement is for the development of a handheld version of the DeepView System which is to be used to support military battlefield burn evaluation. The project has three phases, beginning with planning, design and testing; followed by development, design modification and buildout of the handheld device; and then the manufacturing of the handheld device. In September 2024, the Company received an additional $800,000 from MTEC for the further development of the handheld device.

 

On March 7, 2024, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Spectral IP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Spectral IP”), to be utilized to advance artificial intelligence intellectual property with a specific emphasis on healthcare.

  

Convertible Note

 

On March 19, 2024, Spectral IP entered into a promissory note with SIM Tech Licensing, LLC, an affiliate of the Company (“SIM Tech”), in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note accrued interest at 8% per annum, and was payable upon the earliest to occur of (a) March 18, 2025, (b) a Liquidation Event (as such term is defined in the Promissory Note) or upon an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Promissory Note).

 

On August 28, 2024, SIM Tech assigned the Promissory Note to IP Protocol, LLC (“IP Protocol”), an affiliated entity through common ownership, in which IP Protocol received all of the rights of SIM Tech with respect to the Promissory Note. On October 1, 2024, the Promissory Note was amended to (i) reduce the annual interest rate from 8% to 4%, (ii) extend the term of the Promissory Note through the second anniversary of the issuance date, March 18, 2026, (iii) include a conversion feature at the option of either IP Protocol or the Company to convert the then outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company at any time (into such number of shares calculated by taking a five percent (5.00%) discount to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the date of notice to the Company of the exercise of the conversion right) and at maturity, respectively, and (iv) provide for registration rights of any shares of the Company issued in satisfaction of the outstanding obligations.

 

IP Protocol or the Company has the right to provide notice (the “Notice”) to the other party, to convert the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest (the “Total Outstanding Obligations”) into shares of the Company calculated by dividing the conversion amount of the Total Outstanding Obligations by the “Share Price.” The Share Price shall equal that number calculated by taking a five percent (5.0%) discount to the closing price of common stock of the Company on the day prior to the date the Notice is delivered to the Company.

Corporate Information

 

Spectral AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Rosecliff Acquisition Corp I (“Rosecliff”) was formed as a blank check company on November 17, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

 

On September 11, 2023, the Company consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”), pursuant to the business combination agreement dated April 11, 2023 by and among the Company, Ghost Merger Sub I, a Delaware Corporation, Ghost Merger Sub II, a Delaware corporation and Spectral MD Holdings, Ltd., a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 9, 2009 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas (“Legacy Spectral”). Upon closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), in sequential order: (a) Ghost Merger Sub I merged with and into the Legacy Spectral, with Legacy Spectral continuing as the surviving company as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Spectral Merger”) and then, (b) Legacy Spectral merged with and into Ghost Merger Sub II (renamed Spectral MD Holdings LLC) (the “SPAC Merger”, together with the Spectral Merger (the “Business Combination”)), with Ghost Merger Sub II surviving the SPAC Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon the Closing, the Company changed its name from Rosecliff to Spectral AI, Inc.

 

In conjunction with the Business Combination, the Company cancelled the redeemable warrants that it issued to Rosecliff Acquisition Sponsor I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), in a private placement in connection with the Company’s initial public offering on February 17, 2021 (the “Initial Public Offering”) at Closing, but the 8,433,333 redeemable warrants issued to the public in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) remain outstanding.

 

Prior to the Business Combination, Rosecliff had 280,485 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding and held by public shareholders (the “Public Shares”) and 6,325,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding and held by the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Shares”). Upon the Closing, 5,445,000 of the Sponsor Shares were forfeited, in accordance with a letter agreement with the Sponsor, and the remaining 880,000 Sponsor Shares and 280,485 Public Shares, no longer designated Class A and Class B, were included in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”).

 

Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy Spectral’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Legacy Spectral Common Stock”) were listed on the AIM market on the London Stock Exchange (delisted on September 7, 2023). In September 2023, prior to the Closing, Legacy Spectral issued 7,679,198 shares of Legacy Spectral Common Stock to certain investors in a private placement, in exchange for $3.4 million (the “Equity Raise”). Upon the Closing, all of Legacy Spectral’s issued and outstanding 145,380,871 shares of Legacy Spectral Common Stock, including the shares from the Equity Raise, were exchanged for 14,094,450 shares of Company Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 10.31 (the “Exchange Ratio”), meaning that the Company issued one share of Company Common Stock in exchange for 10.31 shares of Legacy Spectral Common Stock.

 

On September 12, 2023, the Company began trading the Company Common Stock and the Public Warrants on the Nasdaq under the symbols “MDAI” and “MDAIW”, respectively. Prior to the Business Combination, the Company’s shares of Company Common Stock and Public Warrants were listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols “RCLF” and “RCLFW”, respectively.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act for the adoption of certain accounting standards until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply more promptly with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

In addition, as an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

  being permitted to present only two years of audited consolidated financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, with correspondingly reduced disclosure in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus;

 

  an exception from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended;

  

  reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements;

 

  exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and

 

We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the Company’s initial public offering or such earlier time that we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. We will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of: (i) December 31, 2026; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in total annual gross revenues; (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th and we have been a public company for at least 12 months and have filed one annual report on Form 10-K; or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over the prior three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced reporting burdens. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than you might obtain from other public companies in which you hold equity interests.

 

We are also a “smaller reporting company.” If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

 

Recent Developments

 

In September 2024, we received a letter with a draft Particulars of a Complaint from Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited (“Stifel”) in which Stifel contends that the Company owes Stifel approximately $2,550,000 pursuant to a previous engagement letter entered into with Stifel on November 15, 2021 (the “Engagement Letter”). Stifel alleges that the Engagement Letter entitles them to a percentage of the value of the Company’s Business Combination with Rosecliff. The Company further believes that we have substantial factual, legal and contractual defenses to the claims presented and will vigorously contest the claims, if ultimately brought. The Company also believes it has meritorious claims it is entitled to assert against Stifel and one or more of its representatives.  However, the results of litigation are inherently unpredictable and the possibility exists that the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or any updates in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all other information appearing in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, before deciding whether to purchase any securities being offered. The risks and uncertainties discussed in the foregoing are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm our business. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks occur, our business, business prospects, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section above entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following description sets forth certain material terms and provisions of our securities that we may offer under this prospectus but is not complete. This description also summarizes relevant provisions of Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The following summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the applicable provisions of the DGCL, our Charter and our Bylaws, copies of which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, you should be aware that the summary below does not give full effect to the terms of the provisions of statutory or common law, and we encourage you to read our Charter, our Bylaws, and the applicable provisions of Delaware law for additional information.

 

The Charter authorizes the issuance of 81,000,000 shares of capital stock of the Company, consisting of (i) 80,000,000 shares of common stock, and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “preferred stock”). As of November 19, 2024, there were 19,508,073 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. The authorized and unissued shares of common stock and the authorized and undesignated shares of preferred stock are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. Unless approval of our stockholders is so required, our board of directors does not intend to seek stockholder approval for the issuance and sale of our common stock or preferred stock.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and have no cumulative voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend or other rights of any then outstanding preferred stock. We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but intend to retain our capital resources for reinvestment in our business. Any future disposition of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.

 

Holders of our common stock do not have preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. On the liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding up of the Company, each holder of common stock will be entitled, pro rata on a per share basis, to all assets of the Company of whatever kind available for distribution to the holders of common stock, subject to the designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of any preferred stock then outstanding. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to cast one vote per share of common stock on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of common stock will vote together as a single class, and an action will be approved by stockholders if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, while directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. When a quorum is present at any meeting, any matter other than the election of directors to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting will be decided by a majority vote of the holders of shares of capital stock present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, a plurality of the votes cast will be sufficient to elect such directors.  

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of the DGCL, our Charter and Bylaws

 

Section 203 of the DGCL affords us certain protections, such as prohibiting us from engaging in any business combination with any stockholder for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder (the “interested stockholder”) came to own at least 15% of our outstanding voting stock (the “acquisition”), except if:

 

  our board of directors approved the acquisition prior to its consummation;

 

6

 

  the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock upon consummation of the acquisition; or

 

  the business combination is approved by our board of directors, and by a two-thirds vote of the other stockholders in a meeting.

 

Generally, a “business combination” includes any merger, consolidation, asset or stock sale, or certain other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of our voting stock.

 

Under certain circumstances, these anti-takeover provisions will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with us for a three-year period. This may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if our board of directors approves the acquisition that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder.

 

This may also have the effect of preventing changes in our board of directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests. 

 

Exclusive Forum

 

The Charter provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the Company’s behalf; (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company to the Company or its stockholders; (iii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company, its current or former directors, officers, or employees, agents or stockholders arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Charter or the Bylaws or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company, its current or former directors, officers, or employees, agents or stockholders governed by the internal affairs doctrine, and, if such action is filed in a court other than the Chancery Court (a “Foreign Action”) by any stockholder (including any beneficial owner), to the fullest extent permitted by law, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (a) the personal jurisdiction of the Chancery Court in connection with any action brought in any such court; and (b) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

 

The exclusive forum provision set forth above does not apply to, and does not preclude or contract the scope of, either (i) exclusive federal jurisdiction pursuant to Section 27 of the Securities and Exchange Act for claims seeking to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities and Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, or any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, or (ii) concurrent jurisdiction under Section 22 of the Securities Act for federal and state courts over all claims seeking to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock

 

The Charter provides that certain shares of authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital, or to facilitate acquisitions. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise.

Limitations of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

 

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors or officers of corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ or officers’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

 

The Bylaws provide that the Company must indemnify and hold harmless the directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust enterprise or non-profit entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

 

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in the Charter and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing lawsuits against directors or officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

When we refer to the “selling stockholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the donees, pledgees, transferees, assignees, designees, distributees or other successors-in-interest who later come to hold any of the selling stockholders’ interest in the common stock other than through a public sale.

 

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the names of the selling stockholders, certain beneficial ownership information with respect to the selling stockholders, and the aggregate number of shares of common stock that the selling stockholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus. This table was prepared based on information provided to us by the selling stockholders, and it is possible that certain of such selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of the securities shown below subsequent to the date as of which they provided such information.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if such person possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes securities that the individual or entity has the right to acquire, such as through the conversion of convertible notes, within 60 days following a specified date. The inclusion of any shares of common stock in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for any selling stockholders named below.

 

Unless otherwise noted, the address for each beneficial owner listed below is c/o Spectral AI, Inc., 2515 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1000, Dallas, Texas 75201.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of shares of our common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of such shares of our common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The selling stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares of our common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any offering by the selling stockholders.

 

The selling stockholders also may in the future resell a portion of our common stock in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of shares of our common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.

To facilitate the offering of shares of our common stock offered by the selling stockholders, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock. This may include over-allotments or short sales, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more shares of common stock than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of our common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares of common stock in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares of common stock sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

 

The following table sets forth the estimated costs and expenses payable by the registrant expected to be incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered hereby (other than underwriting discounts and commissions). All of such expenses are estimates, except for the SEC registration fee.

 

   Amount to
be Paid
 
SEC registration fee  $165.35 
Printing fees and expenses   * 
Transfer agent and registrar fees   * 
Accounting fees and expenses   * 
Legal fees and expenses   * 
Miscellaneous(1)   * 
Total  $* 

 

*These fees are calculated based on the securities offered and the number of issuances and accordingly cannot be estimated at this time.

(1)Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Company will pay the registration expenses, which are generally the fees and expenses associated with the registration and sale of the offered shares by the selling stockholders, except underwriting fees, discounts or commissions, any out-of-pocket expenses (other than fees and expenses incurred in connection with complying with state securities or blue sky laws) of the selling stockholders or the fees and disbursements of any underwriter.

 

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 102 of the DGCL permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our Charter provides that no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, ending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Our Charter provides that we will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Our Charter provides that we will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers for some expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or officers, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.

 

We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

 

In any underwriting agreement we enter into in connection with the sale of Common Stock being registered hereby, the underwriters will agree to indemnify, under certain conditions, us, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act against certain liabilities.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

providedhowever, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§230.430B of this chapter):

 

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

  

II-3

 

(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

  (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
     
  (2)  For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

2. Prepayment. The Company may, without premium or penalty, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount due and owing under this Note, provided that each such prepayment is accompanied by accrued interest on the Principal Amount prepaid calculated to the date of such prepayment.

 

 

 

 

3. Senior Status. This Note shall rank senior in right of payment to (a) all classes and series of capital stock of the Company now existing or hereafter issued, (b) all existing indebtedness of the Company, and (c) all future indebtedness of the Company.

(f) any material provision of any Transaction Document shall at any time for any reason (other than pursuant to the express terms thereof) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the Company, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by Company, or a proceeding shall be commenced by Company or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Company or Holder, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or Company shall deny in writing that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Transaction Document;

 

(g) any monetary judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or filed against Company, any affiliate or any of their respective property or other assets for more than $50,000, and such judgment, writ or similar final process shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of forty-five (45) calendar days;

“8. Stockholder Rights; Conversion Rights. This Note shall not confer upon the Holder or any other person the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions, to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders, or any other rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.

 

The Holder may convert any and all amounts of accrued and unpaid interest and the Principal Amount due and owing pursuant to this Note into shares of the Guarantor. The conversion of the accrued and unpaid interest and the Principal Amount of this Note (the “Total Outstanding Obligations”) into shares of common stock of the Guarantor shall be calculated by dividing the conversion amount of the Total Outstanding Obligations by the Share Price. For purposes of this Note, the “Share Price” shall equal that number calculated by taking a five percent (5.00%) discount to the closing price of the Guarantor’s common stock on the day prior to the date of notice to the Company of Holder’s exercise of its conversion right. If the Holder decides to exercise a part of its conversion right for some, but not all, of the Total Outstanding Obligations, the Company, at its expense, shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Note, a new Note of the same form and such lesser Principal Amount.

 

At a Maturity Event, in lieu of paying cash for the Total Outstanding Obligations, the Company may elect to convert all of the Total Outstanding Obligations into shares of the Guarantor at the Share Price for the five trading days prior to the date of the Maturity Event.”

 

A new Section 18 shall be added to the Note which shall be stated in its entirety as follows:

 

“18. Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for avoidance of doubt, to comply with the rules of the NASADQ, Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this NASADQ, to the to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion as set forth on the applicable notice such Holder or any of its affiliates would result in the issuance of an aggregate amount of common stock in excess of 19.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding prior to the date hereof. In the event the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of common stock as a result of the previous sentence, such occurrence shall be an Event of Default under the Note.”

 

2.  RRA. The Company and Assignee shall enter into the registration rights agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

3.  Incorporation by Reference. The terms of the Note are hereby incorporated by reference into this Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein, the provisions of the Note are not amended and remain in full force and effect.

 

4.  Assignment/Amendment/Waiver. This Amendment and the Note constitute the entire agreement among the Company, Parent and Assignee with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein, and no other arrangement, understanding or agreement, verbal or otherwise, shall be binding upon the parties hereto. This Amendment may not be assigned by any of the parties hereto, and may not be amended or modified, except by the written consent of the parties hereto. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

 

5.  Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one document. To facilitate execution of this Amendment, the parties hereto may execute and exchange, by electronic mail PDF, counterparts of the signature pages. Signature pages may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Amendment to physically form one document. The parties hereto consent and agree that this Amendment may be signed and/or transmitted by facsimile, e-mail of a .pdf document or using electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign or similar electronic signature technology), and that such signed electronic record shall be valid and as effective to bind the party so signing as a paper copy bearing such party’s handwritten signature. The parties further consent and agree that (a) to the extent a party signs this Amendment using electronic signature technology, by clicking “SIGN”, such party is signing this Amendment electronically, and (b) the electronic signatures appearing on this Amendment shall be treated, for purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, the same as handwritten signatures.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Spectral AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) and the related prospectus filed with the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”), covering the registration of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issuable upon the conversion of the convertible promissory note issued in a private placement pursuant to a Promissory Note, dated March 19, 2024, as amended on October 1, 2024, by and between the Company and an accredited investor (the “Promissory Note”). The Company is registering the resale of the Common Stock as required by the registration rights included in the Promissory Note, as amended.

 

This opinion letter is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

We have reviewed originals or copies of (a) the Registration Statement, (b) the Promissory Note (c) the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws; and together with the Registration Statement and the Promissory Note, the “Transaction Documents”, and such other corporate records, agreements and documents of the Company, certificates or comparable documents of public officials and officers of the Company and have made such other investigations as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions set forth below.

 

In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have assumed:

 

a)the genuineness of all signatures;
b)the legal capacity of natural persons;
c)the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; and
d)the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or conformed copies; and
e)as to matters of fact, the truthfulness of the representations and warranties made or to be made (as applicable) by the parties to the Transaction Documents and the truthfulness of the representations made in certificates or comparable documents of public officials and officers of the Company.

 

We have not independently established the validity of the foregoing assumptions.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered upon conversion of the Promissory Note in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

 

 

The opinions stated herein are subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of (i) public policy considerations which may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies, (ii) any provision waiving the right to object to venue in any court; and (iii) any agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of any federal court.

 

Our opinion is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the laws of the State of New York (the “Opined-on Law”) and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law. We advise you that issues addressed by this letter may be governed in whole or in part by other laws, but we express no opinion as to whether any relevant difference exists between the laws upon which our opinions are based and any other laws which may actually govern. This opinion letter speaks only as of its date.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

  Very truly yours,
   
  /s/ REED SMITH LLP
