The Warrants cannot be exercised until the later of the approval of their terms by the Company's stockholders at a stockholders' meeting and effectiveness of an amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of its common stock. The Series A Warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary of the initial exercise date and the Series B Warrants will expire on the two and one-half-year anniversary of the initial exercise date.
The purchase price of each share of common stock and accompanying Warrants is $0.13 and the purchase price of each pre-funded warrant and accompanying Warrants will be equal to such price minus $0.0001.

About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.
ENDRA Life Sciences is the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), a ground-breaking technology that characterizes tissue similar to an MRI, but at 1/40th the cost and at the point of patient care. TAEUS® is designed to work in concert with the more than 700,000 ultrasound systems in use globally today. TAEUS ® is initially focused on the non-invasive assessment of fatty tissue in the liver. Steatotic liver disease (SLD, formerly known as NAFLD-NASH) is a chronic liver disease spectrum that affects over two billion people globally, and for which there are no practical diagnostic tools. Beyond the liver, ENDRA is exploring several other clinical applications of TAEUS®, including non-invasive visualization of tissue temperature during energy-based surgical procedures.
