Our Company
We are a highly differentiated multi-product medical device company organized to advance a broad pipeline of innovative medical technologies from concept to commercialization, employing a business model focused on capital efficiency and speed to market. Since our inception on June 26, 2014, our activities have focused on advancing our lead products towards regulatory approval and commercialization, protecting our intellectual property, and building our corporate infrastructure and management team. We operate in one segment as a medical device company with four operating divisions which include GI Health, Minimally Invasive Interventions, Infusion Therapy, and Emerging Innovations. As resources permit, we will continue to explore internal and external innovations that fulfill our project selection criteria without limiting ourselves to any target specialty or condition. In addition to the PAVmed, the parent company, we have substantive daily operations conducted in two majority owned subsidiaries: Lucid, incorporated in May 2018, and Solys, incorporated in October 2019
Our multiple products are in various phases of development and regulatory clearances or approvals. EsoCheck has received 510K clearance from the Food and Drug Administration, or “FDA,” as a generic esophageal cell collection device. EsoGuard has been established as a Laboratory Developed Test, or “LDT,” and was launched commercially in December 2019 after completing Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, or “CLIA,” certification and College of American Pathologists, or “CAP,” certification at Lucid’s commercial diagnostic laboratory partner ResearchDx Inc., headquartered in Irvine, California. Our other products in development have not yet received clearance or approval to be marketed or sold in the U.S. or elsewhere. We have been granted patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or “USPTO,” for CarpX, PortIO and Caldus and have acquired licenses to certain patents and intellectual property for DisappEAR from Tufts University and a group of academic centers, for EsoGuard and EsoCheck from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”) and more recently for patents covering infrared technology to non-invasively detect glucose in tissue within the in-patient field of use from Liquid Sensing, Inc.
2 |
A brief description of our key divisions and products is as follows:
GI Health
This division includes our EsoGuard, EsoCheck, and EsoCure products. EsoCheck and EsoGuard, based on a patented platform technology licensed from CWRU to Lucid, are being developed by Lucid to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly screening test for the early detection of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, or “EAC,” and of Barrett’s Esophagus, or “BE,” including dysplasia, pre-cursors to EAC in patients with chronic heart burn or acid reflux. EsoCure is a technology developed by PAVmed to treat BE. EsoGuard is a molecular diagnostic esophageal DNA test shown in a published human study to be highly accurate at detecting BE, as well as EAC. EsoCheck is a non-invasive cell collection device designed to sample cells from a targeted region of the esophagus in a five-minute office-based procedure, without the need for endoscopy. Both EsoGuard and EsoCheck are commercially available, as separately marketed products, for physicians to prescribe for U.S. patients. EsoCure is in development to provide an Esophageal Ablation Device using Caldus Technology to allow a clinician to treat dysplastic BE before it can progress to EAC, a highly lethal esophageal cancer, and to do so without the need for complex and expensive capital equipment.
Our longer-term strategy is to secure a specific indication, based on published guidelines, for BE screening in certain at-risk populations using EsoGuard on samples collected with EsoCheck. This requires having the EsoGuard system cleared or approved by the FDA as an IVD device. In connection with this, in September 2019, we entered into an agreement with a clinical research organization, or “CRO,” in connection with EsoGuard clinical trials. The CRO will assist us with conducting two concurrent clinical trials, an EsoGuard screening study and an EsoGuard case control study. In February 2020, EsoGuard received Breakthrough Device designation from the FDA for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test on esophageal samples collected using its EsoCheck Cell Collection Device in a prevalent well-defined group of patients at elevated risk for esophageal dysplasia due to chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Minimally Invasive Interventions
This division includes our CarpX product. CarpX is a patented, single-use disposable, minimally invasive device designed to treat carpal tunnel syndrome while reducing recovery times. CarpX is a medical precision cutting device allowing a physician to relieve the compression on the median nerve without an open incision or the need for endoscopic or other imaging equipment. CarpX was resubmitted to the FDA for 510(k) premarket notification in March 2020 after successfully completing a human clinical safety study.
Infusion Therapy
This division includes our PortIO and NextFlo products.
PortIO is a novel, patented, implantable, intraosseous vascular medical device which does not require accessing the central venous system and does not have an indwelling intravascular component. It is designed to be highly resistant to occlusion and may not require regular flushing. It features simplified, near-percutaneous insertion and removal, without the need for surgical dissection or radiographic confirmation. It provides a near limitless number of potential access sites and can be used in patients with chronic total occlusion of their central veins. The absence of an intravascular component will likely result in a very low infection rate.
NextFlo is a patented, disposable, IV infusion set designed to eliminate the need for complex and expensive electronic infusion pumps for most of the estimated one million infusions of fluids, medications and other substances delivered each day in hospitals and outpatient settings in the United States. NextFlo is designed to deliver highly accurate gravity-driven infusions independent of the height of the IV bag. It maintains constant flow by incorporating a proprietary, passive, pressure-dependent variable flow-resistor consisting entirely of inexpensive, easy-to-manufacture disposable mechanical parts. NextFlo testing has demonstrated constant flow rates across a wide range of IV bag heights, with accuracy rates comparable to electronic infusion pumps.
Emerging Innovations
Emerging Innovations refers to a diversified and expanding portfolio of innovative products designed to address unmet clinical needs across a broad range of clinical conditions. We are evaluating a number of these product opportunities and intellectual property covering a spectrum of clinical conditions, which have either been developed internally or have been presented to us by clinician innovators and academic medical centers, for consideration of a partnership to develop and commercialize these products. This collection of products includes, without limitation, initiatives in noninvasive laser-based glucose monitoring, mechanical circulatory support, self-anchoring catheters, and pediatric ear tubes. Furthermore, we are exploring other opportunities to grow our business and enhance shareholder value through the acquisition of pre-commercial or commercial stage products and/or companies with potential strategic corporate and commercial synergies.

Background of the Offering
On November 3, 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the “SPA,” with two institutional investors and, pursuant to the SPA, on November 4, 2019, we consummated the sale to such institutional investors of the 2019 Convertible Notes in the Private Placement. Each investor received one Series A Note with an initial principal amount of $3,500,000 (an aggregate of $7,000,000 for both investors) and one Series B Note with an initial principal amount of $3,500,000 (an aggregate of $7,000,000 for both investors). Maxim Group LLC, or “Maxim Group,” acted as financial advisor to the transaction.
Each 2019 Convertible Note was sold with an original issue discount of $350,000. Each investor paid for its Series A Note by delivering $3,150,000 in cash (an aggregate of $6,300,000 in cash from the investors) and paid for its Series B Note by delivering a secured promissory note, or “Investor Note,” with an initial principal amount of $3,150,000 (an aggregate of $6,300,000 of initial principal of Investor Notes from the investors). On March 30, 2020, the investors delivered an additional $6,300,000 in cash in full satisfaction of the Investor Notes. As a result of such payment, the terms of the Series B Notes are identical to those of the Series A Notes.
Maxim Group received an advisory fee of $819,000 in connection with the Private Placement, representing 6.5% of the gross cash proceeds. After deducting the placement agent fee and our estimated expenses associated with the Private Placement, our estimated net cash proceeds from the Private Placement were approximately $11,781,000.
In connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement, or “RRA,” with the investors, among other agreements. In accordance with the terms of the RRA, we are registering the shares underlying the Series A Notes for resale pursuant to this prospectus. The Private Placement, the SPA, the RRA and the related agreements are more fully described in “Private Placement of the 2019 Convertible Notes” below.
One of the investors in the Private Placement previously purchased from us a separate senior secured convertible note, or the “2018 Convertible Note,” pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated as of December 27, 2018. The 2018 Convertible Note has an issue date of December 27, 2018, a contractual maturity date of December 31, 2020, a face value of $7.75 million, a stated interest rate of 7.875% per annum, and otherwise has terms similar (but not identical) to the 2019 Convertible Notes. Through March 27, 2019, the holder of the 2018 Convertible Note had converted $7,700,000 of face value principal plus interest thereon into 9,816,011 shares of our common stock.

Any investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk. Potential investors are urged to read and consider the risks and uncertainties relating to an investment in our company set forth below and those set forth in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including those set forth in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and those set forth in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ending after the end of the fiscal year covered by such annual report. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business and results of operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to the Offering
A limited market may exist for our common stock which could lead to price volatility.
Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance, however, that the trading market for our common stock will be robust. A limited trading market for our common stock may cause fluctuations in the market value of our common stock to be exaggerated, leading to price volatility in excess of that which would occur in a more active trading market for our common stock.
There can be no assurance that our common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market listing standards. If we fail to maintain compliance with all of the Nasdaq listing standards, our common stock, Series W Warrants and Series Z Warrants may no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange and the liquidity and market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
A substantial number of shares of our common stock may be issued pursuant to the terms of the Series A Notes, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
The Series A Notes are immediately convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.60 per share, for an aggregate of 4,375,000 shares, or approximately 9.0% of our outstanding common stock, as of March 27, 2020 (based on $7,000,000 in aggregate principal amount outstanding as of such date, without taking into account the limitations on the conversion of the Series A Notes as described elsewhere in this prospectus).
6 |
Furthermore, the number of shares of common stock to be issued may be substantially greater, if the interest on the Series A Notes is paid in shares of our common stock or the Series A Notes are converted into shares of common stock in accordance with the installment conversion process, each as described elsewhere in this prospectus. In such cases the number of shares issued will be determined based on the then current market price. We cannot predict the market price of our common stock at any future date, and therefore, we are unable to accurately forecast or predict the total amount of shares that ultimately may be issued under the Series A Notes. The number of shares of common stock to be issued also may be substantially greater if we voluntarily reduce the conversion price of the Series A Notes as permitted under Section 7(d) of the Series A Notes. For the purposes of this prospectus, we have estimated the maximum number of shares of common stock that may ultimately be issued under the Series A Notes to be 9,295,510 shares, although the actual amount may be greater.
The Series A Notes likely will be converted only at times when it is economically beneficially for the holder to do so, and we are entitled to pay interest in shares and make installment conversions only at a price per share that is at a discount to the then current market price. The issuance of these shares will dilute our other equity holders, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by the selling stockholders, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
The sale by the selling stockholders of a significant number of shares of common stock could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the perception in the public markets that the selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of their shares as a result of the registration of such shares for resale pursuant to this prospectus could also in and of itself have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.
The requirement that we repay the 2019 Convertible Notes and interest thereon in cash under certain circumstances, and the restrictive covenants contained in the 2019 Convertible Notes, could adversely affect our business plan, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
We may be required to repay the 2019 Convertible Notes and interest thereon in cash, if we do not meet certain customary equity conditions (including minimum price and volume thresholds) or in certain other circumstances. For example, we will be required to repay the outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest, along with a premium, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2019 Convertible Notes). In addition, the 2019 Convertible Notes contain restrictive covenants, including financial covenants. These obligations and covenants could have important consequences on our business. In particular, they could:
● | require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on the 2019 Convertible Notes; | |
● | limit, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds and otherwise raise additional capital, and our ability to conduct acquisitions, joint, ventures or similar arrangements, as a result of our obligations to make such payments and comply with the restrictive covenants in the 2019 Convertible Notes; | |
● | limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate; | |
● | increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; and | |
● | place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have lower fixed costs. |
7 |
The debt service requirements of our other outstanding indebtedness and preferred stock (included the Series B Preferred Stock and the 2018 Convertible Note), as well as any other indebtedness or preferred stock we incur or issue in the future, and the restrictive covenants contained in the governing documents for such indebtedness or preferred stock, could intensify these risks.
In the event we are required to repay the 2019 Convertible Notes in cash, we may seek to refinance the remaining balance, by either refinancing with the holders of the 2019 Convertible Notes, by raising sufficient funds through a sale of equity or debt securities or by obtaining a credit facility. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in making the required payments under the 2019 Convertible Notes, or in refinancing our obligations on favorable terms, or at all. Should we determine to refinance, it could be dilutive to shareholders.
If we are unable to make the required cash payments, there could be a default under the 2019 Convertible Notes. In such event, or if a default otherwise occurs under the 2019 Convertible Notes, including as a result of our failure to comply with the financial or other covenants contained therein, the holders of the 2019 Convertible Notes could require us to immediately repay 132.5% of the outstanding principal and interest on the 2019 Convertible Notes in cash. Furthermore, the holders of the 2019 Convertible Notes could foreclose on their security interests in our assets, including our intellectual property.
In addition to the conversion of the Series A Notes, the exercise of the UPOs, Series S Warrants, Series W Warrants and Series Z Warrants and conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, 2018 Convertible Note and Series B Notes described in this prospectus will dilute our equity, and there may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The exercise prices of the UPOs, Series S Warrants, Series W Warrants and Series Z Warrants are $5.50 per unit, $0.01 per share, $5.00 per share and $1.60 per share, respectively. In addition, our Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share.
Like the Series A Notes, the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes are immediately convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.60 per share, for an aggregate of 31,250 shares and 4,375,000 shares, respectively, as of March 27, 2020 (based on $50,000 and $7,000,000, respectively, in aggregate principal amount outstanding as of such date, without taking into account the limitations on the conversion of the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes as described elsewhere in this prospectus). Furthermore, also like the Series A Notes, the number of shares of common stock to be issued under the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes may be substantially greater, if the interest on the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes is paid in shares of our common stock or the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes are converted into shares of common stock in accordance with the installment conversion process prescribed thereunder. In such cases the number of shares issued will be determined based on the then current market price. We cannot predict the market price of our common stock at any future date, and therefore, we are unable to accurately forecast or predict the total amount of shares that ultimately may be issued under the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes. The number of shares of common stock to be issued under the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes also may be substantially greater if we voluntarily reduce the conversion price of the 2018 Convertible Note or the Series B Notes as permitted under Section 7(d) of the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes.
Such options and warrants likely will be exercised, and the Series B Preferred Stock, the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes likely will be converted, only at a time when it is economically beneficially for the holder to do so, and we are entitled to pay interest in shares and make installment conversions under the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes only at a price per share that is at a discount to the then current market price. The exercise of these options and warrants and the issuance of shares under the Series B Preferred Stock, the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes will dilute our other equity holders, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
In addition, we may issue additional shares of common stock and/or other securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of common stock. The market price of our shares could decline as a result of sales of our common stock or such other securities, or the perception that such sales could occur.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF THE 2019 CONVERTIBLE NOTES
Summary
On November 3, 2019, we entered into the SPA with two institutional investors and, pursuant to the SPA, on November 4, 2019, we consummated the sale to such institutional investors of the 2019 Convertible Notes in the Private Placement. Each investor received one Series A Note with an initial principal amount of $3,500,000 (an aggregate of $7,000,000 for both investors) and one Series B Note with an initial principal amount of $3,500,000 (an aggregate of $7,000,000 for both investors). Maxim Group acted as financial advisor to the transaction.
Each 2019 Convertible Note was sold with an original issue discount of $350,000. Each investor paid for its Series A Note by delivering $3,150,000 in cash (an aggregate of $6,300,000 in cash from the investors) and paid for its Series B Note by delivering an Investor Note with an initial principal amount of $3,150,000 (an aggregate of $6,300,000 of initial principal of Investor Notes from the investors). On March 30, 2020, the investors delivered an additional $6,300,000 in cash in full satisfaction of the Investor Notes. As a result of such payment, the terms of the Series B Notes are identical to those of the Series A Notes.
Maxim Group received an advisory fee of $819,000 in connection with the Private Placement, representing 6.5% of the gross cash proceeds. After deducting the placement agent fee and our estimated expenses associated with the Private Placement, our estimated net cash proceeds from the Private Placement were approximately $11,781,000.
One of the investors in the Private Placement previously purchased from us the 2018 Convertible Note pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated as of December 27, 2018. The 2018 Convertible Note has an issue date of December 27, 2018, a contractual maturity date of December 31, 2020, a face value of $7.75 million, a stated interest rate of 7.875% per annum, and otherwise has terms similar (but not identical) to the 2019 Convertible Notes. Through November 29, 2019, the holder of the 2018 Convertible Note had converted $7,700,000 of face value principal plus interest thereon into 9,816,011 shares of our common stock.
SPA
The SPA contains certain representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for similar transactions. Under the SPA, we also agreed to the following additional covenants:
● | During the period through and including March 30, 2020, we may not issue, offer, sell or grant any equity or equity-linked security at price less than $1.60, subject to certain limited exceptions. | |
● | So long as any of the 2019 Convertible Notes remain outstanding, we will not effect or enter an agreement to effect any variable rate transaction. | |
● | We will hold a stockholder meeting, by no later than June 30, 2020, to approve resolutions, or the “Stockholder Resolutions,” authorizing (i) an increase in the authorized shares of our common stock from 100 million to 150 million shares, and (ii) the issuance of shares of our common stock under the 2019 Convertible Notes for the purposes of compliance with the stockholder approval rules of Nasdaq. We will be obligated to continue to seek stockholder approval quarterly until such approval is obtained. |
10 |
In addition, we granted the investors participation rights in future equity and equity-linked offerings of securities during the three years after the closing in an amount of up to 50% of the securities being sold in such offerings.
Convertible Note
General
An amortization payment on each 2019 Convertible Note will be due on March 30, 2020, on the 15th day of the month and the last trading day of the month for each month thereafter, and on the maturity date, each of which dates we refer to as an “Installment Date.” On each Installment Date, we will amortize an amount, which we refer to as an “Installment Amount,” equal to $94,595 of each 2019 Convertible Note, together with interest and late charges, if any, thereon. The Installment Amount shall be satisfied in shares of our common stock, subject to customary equity conditions (including minimum price and volume thresholds), at 100% of the Installment Amount, which we refer to as an “Installment Conversion,” or otherwise (or at our option, in whole or in part) in cash at 115% of the Installment Amount, which we refer to as an “Installment Redemption.”
If we satisfy the equity conditions (or a noteholder waives any failure to meet such conditions) and elect to effect an Installment Conversion, we will convert the portion of the Installment Amount subject to such Installment Conversion into shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) the conversion price then in effect, and (ii) 82.5% of the market price of our common stock, as determined in accordance with the 2019 Convertible Notes, but not less than the Floor Price (as defined in the 2019 Convertible Notes). Notwithstanding anything in the applicable 2019 Convertible Note to the contrary, the aggregate Installment Amounts due with respect to a noteholder’s Series A Note and Series B Note may be allocated by such noteholder among the Series A Note and Series B Note as set forth in a written notice to us.
The noteholder may elect to defer an Installment Amount until a subsequent Installment Date selected by the noteholder. In the event we elect to convert an Installment Amount, the noteholder may elect to accelerate the conversion of future Installment Amounts to the current Installment Date.
On the maturity date, which generally is September 30, 2021, but is subject to extension in certain limited circumstances, we will pay to the noteholder an amount in cash representing 115% of all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid late charges, except to the extent such amount is paid as an installment in shares of our common stock as described above.
11 |
Interest
Each 2019 Convertible Note accrues interest at the rate of 7.875% per annum, except that the Series B Note accrued interest at the rate of 3.0% per annum until the Investor Note was repaid. After the maturity date, interest will be payable bi-monthly on the 15th day and the last trading day of each month in shares of our common stock, subject to the satisfaction of customary equity conditions (including minimum price and volume thresholds), or otherwise (or at our option, in whole or in part), in cash. Such common stock, when issued, shall be issued at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) the conversion price then in effect, and (ii) 82.5% of the market price of our common stock, as determined in accordance with the 2019 Convertible Notes, but not less than the Floor Price. During the period commencing on March 30, 2020 through the maturity date, interest will be payable by inclusion of such interest in the amounts to be converted or redeemed, as applicable, on the applicable Installment Date as described above. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the 2019 Convertible Notes), the 2019 Convertible Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 18.0% per annum. See “—Events of Default” below.
Conversion
Each 2019 Convertible Note is convertible, at the option of the noteholder, into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.60 per share. The conversion price is subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction. If we enter into any agreement to issue (or issue) any variable rate securities, the noteholder has the additional right to substitute such variable price (or formula) for the conversion price. In connection with the occurrence of certain Events of Default, a noteholder will be entitled to convert all or any portion of a 2019 Convertible Note at an alternate conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the conversion price then in effect, and (ii) 80% of the market price of our common stock, as determined in accordance with the 2019 Convertible Notes, but not less than the Floor Price.
For the purposes of this prospectus, we have estimated the number of shares of common stock that may ultimately be issued under the Series A Notes to be no greater than 9,295,510 shares. Applying the same assumptions used in such estimate to the Series B Notes, we estimate that the number of shares of common stock that may ultimately be issued under the Series B Notes to be no greater than 9,277,736 shares. However, the number of shares of common stock to be issued under the 2019 Convertible Notes may be substantially greater, if the interest on the 2019 Convertible Notes is paid in shares of our common stock or the 2019 Convertible Notes are converted into shares of common stock in accordance with the installment conversion process, each as described below. In such cases the number of shares issued will be determined based on the then current market price. We cannot predict the market price of our common stock at any future date, and therefore, we are unable to accurately forecast or predict the total amount of shares that may be issued under the 2019 Convertible Notes.
Conversion Limitation and Exchange Cap
A noteholder will not have the right to convert any portion of a 2019 Convertible Note, to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the noteholder (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The noteholder may from time to time increase this limit to 9.99%, provided that any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery of a notice to us of such increase.
In addition, unless we obtain the approval of our stockholders as required by Nasdaq, we are prohibited from issuing any shares of common stock upon conversion of the 2019 Convertible Notes or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Convertible Notes, if the issuance of such shares of common stock would exceed 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of November 1, 2019 or otherwise exceed the aggregate number of shares of common stock which we may issue without breaching its obligations under the rules and regulations of Nasdaq.
12 |
Events of Default
Each 2019 Convertible Note includes certain customary Events of Default, including, among other things, the breach of the financial covenant described in “—Covenants” below and the failure of Lishan Aklog, M.D., our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Dennis McGrath, our President and Chief Financial Officer, to each serve as officers of ours.
In connection with an Event of Default, a noteholder may require us to redeem in cash any or all of a 2019 Convertible Note. The redemption price will equal 132.5% of the outstanding principal of the 2019 Convertible Note to be redeemed, and accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid late charges thereon, or (except in the case of certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy) an amount equal to market value of the shares of our common stock underlying the 2019 Convertible Note, as determined in accordance with the 2019 Convertible Note, if greater.
Change of Control
In connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the 2019 Convertible Notes), a noteholder may require us to redeem all or any portion of each 2019 Convertible Note. The redemption price per share will equal the greatest of (i) 115% of the outstanding principal of the 2019 Convertible Note to be redeemed, and accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid late charges thereon, (ii) 115% of the market value of the shares of our common stock underlying the 2019 Convertible Note, as determined in accordance with the 2019 Convertible Notes, and (iii) 115% of the aggregate cash consideration that would have been payable in respect of the shares of our common stock underlying the 2019 Convertible Note, as determined in accordance with the 2019 Convertible Notes.
Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption
At any time after the earlier of the date a noteholder becomes aware of any placement by us of equity or equity-linked securities or the date of consummation of such a placement, subject to certain limited exceptions, the noteholder will have the right to have us redeem a portion of each 2019 Convertible Note not in excess of 50% of the net proceeds from such placement. The amount redeemed with respect to a noteholder’s Series A Note and Series B Note may be allocated by the noteholder among the Series A Note and the Series B Note as set forth in a written notice to us. If the noteholder is participating in any such placement, the noteholder may apply the redemption amount against the purchase price of the securities in such placement.
Covenants
We will be subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other matters. We also will be subject to a financial covenant that requires us to maintain available cash in the amount of $2,000,000 at the end of each fiscal quarter and a covenant that requires us to complete, by no later than June 30, 2020, a non-dilutive capital raise of a minimum of $9,000,000 in immediately available and unrestricted cash, by the sale of a portfolio asset, a direct financing within, or a merger or other fundamental transaction with respect to, a subsidiary, or a combination thereof, but not by an issuance of PAVmed’s securities.
Security Interest
The 2019 Convertible Notes (and the 2018 Convertible Note) are secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets and the assets of our current and future Significant Subsidiaries (as defined in the SPA), which as of the closing date was solely Lucid, our majority owned subsidiary, as evidenced by an amended and restated security agreement, or the “Amended and Restated Security Agreement,” and an amended and restated guarantee by Lucid of the obligations underlying the 2019 Convertible Notes (and the 2018 Convertible Note), or the “Amended and Restated Guaranty.”
Registration Rights
In connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of November 4, 2019, or the “RRA,” with the investors. Pursuant to the RRA, we have granted certain registration rights to the investors. The RRA requires us to have the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part declared effective by February 2, 2020. It also grants the investors customary “piggyback” registration rights. If we fail to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the deadlines above, or if certain other conditions relating to the availability of the Registration Statement and current public information are not met, we will pay certain Registration Delay Payments to the investors (as defined in the RRA), unless the investors waive such requirements.
13 |
Voting Agreement
In connection with the Private Placement, we also entered into voting agreements, or the “Voting Agreements,” each dated as of November 4, 2019, with certain of our stockholders, who hold approximately 12.0% of our common stock in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each stockholder agreed to vote the shares of our common stock now owned or hereafter acquired by him in favor of the Stockholder Resolutions.
Leak Out Agreement
In connection with the Private Placement, we also entered into an amended and restated leak-out agreement, dated as of November 4, 2019, or the “Amended and Restated Leak-Out Agreement,” with the investors. The Amended and Restated Leak-Out Agreement restricts sales of shares of our common stock issued pursuant to accelerations of any Installment Amount (as well as shares of our common stock issued pursuant to accelerations of any installment amounts under the 2018 Convertible Note), or the “Restricted Securities,” on any trading day, if any such sale, together with all prior sales of Restricted Securities on such trading day, exceed 25% of the daily average composite trading volume of our common stock; provided that (i) any such sales of Restricted Securities at a price greater than or equal to 96% of the closing sale price as of the immediately preceding trading day shall not be included in such calculation and (ii) any other sales of shares of our common stock on such trading day (excluding any sales of Restricted Securities) shall not be included in such calculation.
Forms of the SPA, the 2019 Convertible Notes, the NPA, the Investor Notes, the Amended and Restated Security Agreement, the Amended and Restated Guaranty, the Master Netting Agreement, the RRA, the Voting Agreement and the Amended and Restated Leak-Out Agreement are incorporated as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part and are incorporated herein by reference. The summary of such agreements contained in this prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such agreements. We urge you to read such agreements in full.
14 |
All the shares sold under this prospectus will be sold or otherwise disposed of for the account of the selling stockholders, or their pledgees, assignees or successors-in-interest. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the shares by the selling stockholders.
15 |
The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the 2019 Convertible Notes. For additional information regarding the issuance of the 2019 Convertible Notes, see “Private Placement of the 2019 Convertible Notes” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the 2019 Convertible Notes (or the underlying shares of common stock), and except as otherwise described in the footnotes to the table below, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act,” and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock held by each of the selling stockholders.
The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders and their percentage ownership before the offering, based on their respective ownership of shares of common stock, the 2018 Convertible Note and the 2019 Convertible Notes as of March 27, 2020, assuming conversion of the 2018 Convertible Note and the 2019 Convertible Notes on that date, but taking account of any limitations on conversion set forth in the 2018 Convertible Note and the 2019 Convertible Notes.
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on conversion of the Series A Notes set forth therein. As a result of such limitations, the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus may exceed the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders as of March 27, 2020. This prospectus covers the resale of 200% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Notes, assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Series A Notes are convertible at $1.60 per share, the initial conversion price, and (y) interest on the Series A Notes accrues through September 30, 2021, without taking into account the limitations on the conversion of such note set forth in the Series A Notes. Because the conversion price of the notes may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.
The fourth column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders and their percentage ownership after the offering shares of common stock, assuming the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus, and assuming conversion of the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes, but taking account of any limitations on conversion set forth in the 2018 Convertible Note and the Series B Notes.
Under the terms of the 2019 Convertible Notes, a selling stockholder may not convert the notes to the extent (but only to the extent) such selling stockholder (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion, which we refer to as the “4.99% Blocker.” The number of shares in the second column reflects this limitation. The 2018 Convertible Note contains a similar blocker, and the number of shares set forth in the second and fourth columns reflects this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

(1) | The percentages of ownership before the offering are calculated based on 44,421,145 shares outstanding as of March 27, 2020. The percentages of ownership after the offering assume the issuance of all of the shares underlying the Series A Notes that are offered for resale hereby, and the sale by each selling securityholder of all of the shares offered for resale hereby. |
(2) | Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC – Segregated Master Portfolio B, or “Alto Opportunity Master Fund B,” previously purchased the 2018 Convertible from us pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated as of December 27, 2018. Through March 27, 2019, Alto Opportunity Master Fund B had converted $7,700,000 of face value principal of the 2018 Convertible Note plus interest thereon into 9,816,011 shares of our common stock. Ayrton Capital LLC, the investment manager to Alto Opportunity Master Fund B and to Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC – Segregated Master Portfolio C, or “Alto Opportunity Master Fund C,” has discretionary authority to vote and dispose of the shares held by Alto Opportunity Master Fund B and Alto Opportunity Master Fund C. Waqas Khatri is the managing member of Ayrton Capital LLC and in his capacity as director of Alto Opportunity Master Fund B and Alto Opportunity Master Fund C, may also be deemed to have investment discretion and voting power over the shares held by Alto Opportunity Master Fund B and Alto Opportunity Master Fund C. Mr. Khatri disclaims any beneficial ownership of these shares. The address of Ayrton Capital, LLC is 222 Broadway, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10038. |
(3) | The beneficial ownership of Alto Opportunity Master Fund B consists entirely of shares underlying the 2019 Convertible Notes and the 2018 Convertible Note. The amounts set forth in the table reflect the application of the 4.99% Blocker and the similar blocker contained in the 2018 Convertible Note, and assume the immediate conversion of the notes at the initial conversion price. |
Without giving effect to the 4.99% Blocker, and assuming that all future interest and principal is paid in shares of our common stock on each scheduled payment date prescribed by the 2019 Convertible Notes, the maximum number of shares into which the 2019 Convertible Notes held by Alto Opportunity Master Fund B would be convertible would be approximately: (i) 4,643,312 shares of common stock, based on an assumed price of $1.60 per share, the initial conversion price under the 2019 Convertible Notes, and (ii) 41,273,880 shares of common stock, based on an assumed price of $0.18 per share, the Floor Price under the 2019 Convertible Notes.
Without giving effect to the similar blocker in the 2018 Convertible Note and assuming that all future interest and principal is paid in shares of our common stock on each scheduled payment date prescribed by the 2018 Convertible Note, the maximum number of shares into which the remaining portion of the 2018 Convertible Note would be convertible would be approximately: (i) 31,353 shares of common stock, based on an assumed price of $1.60 per share, the initial conversion price under the 2018 Convertible Note, and (ii) 264,025 shares of common stock, based on an assumed price of $0.19 per share, the Floor Price under the 2018 Convertible Note.
(4) | The beneficial ownership of Alto Opportunity Master Fund C consists entirely of shares underlying the 2019 Convertible Notes. The amounts set forth in the table reflect the application of the 4.99% Blocker, and assume the immediate conversion of the notes at the initial conversion price. Without giving effect to the 4.99% Blocker, and assuming that all future interest and principal is paid in shares of our common stock on each scheduled payment date prescribed by the 2019 Convertible Notes, the maximum number of shares into which the 2019 Convertible Notes held by Alto Opportunity Master Fund C would be convertible would be approximately: (i) 4,643,312 shares of common stock, based on an assumed price of $1.60 per share, the initial conversion price under the 2019 Convertible Notes, and (ii) 41,273,880 shares of common stock, based on an assumed price of $0.18 per share, the Floor Price under the 2019 Convertible Notes. |

We are registering 9,295,510 shares of our common stock underlying the 2019 Convertible Notes to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders thereof from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
● | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; | |
● | in the over-the-counter market; | |
● | in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; | |
● | through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; | |
● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; | |

● | broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; | |
● | a combination of any such methods of sale; and | |
● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock under Rule144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
18 |
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the notes or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be approximately $33,200 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the RRA or such selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the RRA or we may be entitled to contribution.
Once sold pursuant to this prospectus, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

The estimated expenses in connection with the sale of the shares being registered hereby, all of which will be borne by PAVmed, are as follows:
SEC registration fee | $ | 2,124.53 | ||
Legal fees and expenses | $ | 15,000.00 | ||
Accounting fees and expenses | $ | 15,000.00 | ||
Printing | $ | 500.00 | ||
Miscellaneous | $ | 500.00 | ||
Total | $ | 33,124.53 |
Item 15. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
PAVmed’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that all directors and officers shall be entitled to be indemnified by such company to the fullest extent permitted by law. The certificate of incorporation provides that PAVmed may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law all employees. PAVmed’s by-laws provide that, if authorized by the Board of Directors, it may indemnify any other person whom it has the power to indemnify under section 145 of the Delaware General Company Law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Company Law concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.
“Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.
(a) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of 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 Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
II-1 |
(c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer of the corporation at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.
(e) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the corporation or by persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.
(g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.
(h) For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
II-2 |
(i) For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.
(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).”
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to PAVmed’s directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, PAVmed has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, 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 of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, PAVmed will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Paragraph B of Article Eight of PAVmed’s certificate of incorporation provides:
“The Company, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby.”

II-3 |
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) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(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;
Provided, however, that:
Paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and 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 Section 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 purposes 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.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) | (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-4 |
(ii) 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.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability 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.
(h) 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-5 |
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized, in New York, New York on March 30, 2020.

Re: | Registration Statement |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by PAVmed Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with respect to the resale by certain of the Company’s stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”), as set forth in the Registration Statement, of an aggregate of 9,295,510 shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), underlying the Series A Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) issued by the Company in a private placement consummated on November 4, 2019.
We have examined such documents and considered such legal matters as we have deemed necessary and relevant as the basis for the opinion set forth below. With respect to such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as reproduced or certified copies, and the authenticity of the originals of those latter documents. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, to the extent deemed appropriate, relied upon certain representations of certain officers and employees of the Company.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Conversion Shares to be issued by the Company upon conversion of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes and interest thereon have been duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the Convertible Notes, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Our opinions set forth herein are limited to the laws of the State of New York, all applicable provisions of the Delaware constitution (and all applicable judicial and regulatory determinations) and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and, to the extent that judicial or regulatory orders or decrees or consents, approvals, licenses, authorizations, validations, filings, recordings or registrations with governmental authorities are relevant, to those required under such laws (all of the foregoing being referred to as “Covered Law”). We do not express any opinion with respect to the law of any jurisdiction other than Covered Law or as to the effect of any such non-Covered Law on the opinions herein.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to the use of our name as your counsel and to all references made to us in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus forming a part thereof. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours, | |

ACCOUNTING FIRM
We hereby consent to the incorporation by reference in this Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-235335) of our report dated April 1, 2019 relating to the consolidated financial statements of PAVmed Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”), which appears in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018, and to the reference to us under the heading “Experts” in the Prospectus, which is part of this Registration Statement. Our report dated April 1, 2019 includes an explanatory paragraph about the existence of substantial doubt concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
