Note 7 — Asset Purchase Agreement and Management Services Agreement
Asset Purchase Agreement - ResearchDx Inc.
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, LucidDx Labs Inc., the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (“APA”) dated February 25, 2022, with ResearchDx, Inc. (“RDx”), an unrelated third-party - “APA-RDx”. Under the APA-RDx, LucidDx Labs Inc. acquired certain assets from RDx which were combined with LucidDx Labs Inc. purchased and leased property and equipment to establish a Company-owned CLIA certified, CAP accredited commercial clinical laboratory capable of performing the EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA assay, inclusive of DNA extraction, next generation sequencing (“NGS”) and specimen storage. Prior to February 25, 2022, RDx provided such laboratory services at its owned CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited clinical laboratory.
The total purchase price consideration payable under the APA-RDx is a face value of $3,200 comprised of three contractually specified periodic payments. The APA-RDx is being accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the recognition of an intangible asset of approximately $3,200, which is included in “Intangible assets, net” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, as further discussed in Note 11, Intangible Assets, net. In the year ended December 31, 2022, a total of $3,200 of cash was paid with respect to the periodic payments.
Additionally, the APA-RDx requires the Company to pay a total of $3,000 to be paid as twelve (12) equal installment payments commencing May 25, 2022 and then on each three month anniversary thereof, inclusive of a final installment payment on February 25, 2025, with such installment payments recognized as current period expense as incurred. In the year ended December 31, 2022, as provided for in the APA-RDx, installment payments were settled with the issuances of shares of common stock of Lucid Diagnostics Inc., with such shares having fair values of $653 (with the fair value measured as the quoted closing price on the dates the shares were issued), which was recognized as a current period expense included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
The APA-RDx provides for each of an acceleration and a cancellation of the remaining unpaid installment payments, summarized as follows:
