Schedule of Incurred Expenses of Minority Shareholders 

PAVmed Inc. - Management Services Agreement

The Company’s daily operations are managed by personnel employed by PAVmed Inc., for which Lucid Diagnostics Inc. incurs a service fee, referred to as the “MSA Fee”, according to the provisions of a Management Services Agreement (“MSA”) with PAVmed Inc. The MSA does not have a termination date, but may be terminated by the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. board of directors. The MSA Fee is charged on a monthly basis and is subject-to periodic adjustment corresponding with changes in the services provided by PAVmed Inc. personnel to the Company, with any such change in the MSA Fee being subject to approval of the boards of directors of each of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. and PAVmed Inc. On August 11, 2022, the respective Company’s boards of directors approved a sixth amendment to the MSA to increase the MSA Fee to $550 per month from $390 per month, with such increase effective on a prospective basis that commenced July 1, 2022. Pursuant to the sixth amendment, the parties agreed PAVmed Inc. may elect to receive payment of the monthly MSA Fee in cash or in shares of common stock of the Company, with such shares valued at the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the final ten trading days of the applicable month (subject to a floor price of $0.70 per share). However, in no event will PAVmed Inc. be entitled to receive under the MSA, as amended, more than 7,709,836 shares of common stock the Company (representing 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of immediately prior to the execution of the sixth amendment). The shares that may be issued under the MSA, as amended, are being offered and sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemption afforded under Section 4(a)(2) thereof.

In accordance with the MSA, on November 30, 2022 PAVmed elected to receive payment of $1,650 in aggregate monthly fees under the MSA through the issuance of 750,818 shares of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. Common Stock.
