EXPLANATORY
NOTE
This
Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends the definitive proxy statement of BioSig Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”),
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 4, 2025 (the “2025 Proxy Statement”).
The 2025 Proxy Statement was filed in connection with the Company’s 2025 Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Friday,
September 5, 2025, including any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Special Meeting”).
This
Amendment (i) amends and replaces certain disclosure relating to the convertible debentures described in the 2025 Proxy Statement to
reflect the Amendment to Debenture Purchase Agreement entered into on August 13, 2025, by and between the Company and YA II PN,
Ltd.; (ii) revises the description in the 2025 Proxy Statement regarding the effect of abstentions on Proposal 1 (as defined below) to
approve the issuance of approximately 109,070,079 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments, and one
share of the Company’s Super Voting Preferred Stock, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement dated as of May 23, 2025, as amended,
by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company named therein, and Streamex Exchange Corporation (“Streamex”),
in connection with the Company’s consummated acquisition of Streamex (“Proposal 1”); and (iii) removes references to
“financial advisors” to clarify that the Company did not utilize or engage a financial advisor in connection with
its consummated acquisition of Streamex. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement and, except as described
in this Amendment, this Amendment does not modify, amend, supplement or otherwise affect the Proxy Statement.
AMENDMENT
TO PROXY STATEMENT
The
following disclosure amends and restates the paragraph under the heading “PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES—Background of the Yorkville Convertible Debenture Financing Transaction—Secured
Convertible Debenture Purchase Agreement and Convertible Debentures” on page 90 of the Proxy Statement as follows (changes marked,
with new text bold and underlined and deleted text bold and strikethrough):
On
July 7, 2025, we entered into a secured convertible debenture purchase agreement (the “Debenture Purchase Agreement”) with
Yorkville, pursuant to which Yorkville will purchase senior secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount
of $100,000,000 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which will be convertible into shares of Common Stock, and as converted,
the “Conversion Shares”. The Company will sell to Yorkville a Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $75,000,000
(the “First Convertible Debenture”) and a Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $25,000,000 (the “Second
Convertible Debenture” and together, the “Convertible Debentures”). On August 13, 2025, we entered into
an Amendment to the Debenture Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Yorkville. The Amendment amends the Debenture Purchase
Agreement, to, among other things, revise the structure of the transaction to provide for a first secured convertible debenture in the
principal amount of $25,000,000 (the First Convertible Debenture”), a second secured convertible debenture in the principal amount
of $25,000,000 (the “Second Convertible Debenture” and, together with the First Convertible Debenture, the “Convertible
Debentures”), and additional secured convertible debentures in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000,000 to be issued
upon mutual agreement of the parties, which agreement may be withheld in either parties sole discretion. Except as otherwise indicated
by the context, all references in this Proxy Statement to the Debenture Purchase Agreement refer to the Debenture Purchase Agreement
as amended by the Amendment. The purchase price for each Convertible Debenture is 96.0% of the principal amount of each Convertible
Debenture. The Convertible Debentures will be issued in a private placement in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided
by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The
following disclosure amends and restates the paragraph under the heading “PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES—Reasons for Seeking Stockholder Approval” on page 92 of the Proxy Statement
as follows (changes marked, with new text bold and underlined and deleted text bold and strikethrough):
We
cannot predict the price of our Common Stock at any future date, nor do we have any control over the timing of Yorkville’s decisions
as to when and if to convert its Convertible Debentures. Therefore, we cannot predict the number of shares of Common Stock that we may
be required to issue upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures under the Debenture Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Debentures
or whether the applicable conversion prices from time to time will be greater than the Minimum Price under Nasdaq’s rules. If the
entire principal amount of $100.00 $50 million in Convertible Debentures were to be converted at the Floor
Price of $1.8828, 20% of the applicable Minimum Price, we would be required to issue an aggregate of 53,112,386 26,556,193
shares of Common Stock over time, which is well in excess of 20% of our outstanding shares on July 7, 2025, i.e., the date the
Debenture Purchase Agreement was entered into, even excluding shares issuable in the Streamex acquisition. Based on current trading prices
of our Common Stock, we do not expect that we will be required to issue Conversion Shares at the Floor Price, but it is possible that
Yorkville’s conversion of the Convertible Debentures from time to time could require us to issue an aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock that is substantially more than 20% of our outstanding shares as of July 7, 2025, and the conversion prices could fall
below the Minimum Price, depending on the trading price of our Common Stock at the time of conversion. Therefore, we require stockholder
approval for the potential share issuances upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures.
The
following disclosure amends and restates the paragraph under the heading “PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES—Reasons for Seeking Stockholder Approval” on page 92 of the Proxy Statement
as follows (changes marked, with new text bold and underlined and deleted text bold and strikethrough):
Our
Board has determined that the Debenture Purchase Agreement and Convertible Debentures, and our ability to issue the shares of Common
Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures in excess of the Debenture Exchange Cap at prices that may be less than the Minimum
Price are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Upon receipt of stockholder approval and subject to the satisfaction
or waiver of certain other conditions set forth in the Debenture Purchase Agreement, we will be able to sell to Yorkville the Convertible
Debentures contemplated by the Debenture Purchase Agreement. Collectively, the two Convertible Debentures provide us with $1050
million of capital for general corporate purposes, which may include, but are not limited to, funding research and development for PURE
EPTM and Viral Clear, for the development of Streamex’s gold tokenization platform and for general working capital,
and for such other purposes specified in the Guaranty and Security Agreement.
The
following disclosure amends and restates the paragraph under the heading “PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES—Consequences of Non-Approval” on page 92 of the Proxy Statement as follows
(changes marked, with new text bold and underlined and deleted text bold and strikethrough):
The
failure of our stockholders to approve this Proposal No. 2 will prevent us from issuing and selling to Yorkville the Convertible Debentures
in the principal amount of $1050 million because receipt of stockholder approval is a condition precedent,
unless waived, to our ability to issue and sell the Convertible Debentures to Yorkville. Moreover, to the extent we are required to use
cash to fulfill any obligations to Yorkville as detailed in the Debenture Purchase Agreement, that capital, to the extent we are able
to secure it, which we cannot guarantee, is unavailable for working capital and general corporate purposes, which could impede our growth
strategy and harm our business.
The
following disclosure amends and restates the paragraph under the heading “PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES—Consequences of Non-Approval” on page 92 of the Proxy Statement as follows
(changes marked, with new text bold and underlined and deleted text bold and strikethrough):
The
failure of our stockholders to approve this Proposal No. 2 will prevent us from issuing and selling to Yorkville the Convertible Debentures
in the principal amount of $100 $50 million because receipt of stockholder approval is a condition precedent,
unless waived, to our ability to issue and sell the Convertible Debentures to Yorkville. Moreover, to the extent we are required to use
cash to fulfill any obligations to Yorkville as detailed in the Debenture Purchase Agreement, that capital, to the extent we are able
to secure it, which we cannot guarantee, is unavailable for working capital and general corporate purposes, which could impede our growth
strategy and harm our business.
The
following disclosure amends and restates the paragraph under the heading “PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES— Effect on Current Stockholders” on page 93 of the Proxy Statement as follows
(changes marked, with new text bold and underlined and deleted text bold and strikethrough):
Effect
on Current Stockholders
The
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures pursuant the Debenture Purchase Agreement (including
any such shares issued below the Minimum Price that are the subject of this Proposal No. 2) would result in an increase in the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding, and our stockholders will incur dilution of their percentage ownership. Because the number of
shares of Common Stock that may be issued to Yorkville upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures is determined based on the price
at the time of conversion, the exact magnitude of the dilutive effect cannot be conclusively determined. However, the dilutive effect
may be substantial and material to our current stockholders.
For
illustrative purposes only, the table below shows the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of Convertible
Debentures if we issue securities at an effective price per share that is equal to or lower than $9.414 per share.

The
following disclosure amends and restates the paragraph under the heading “PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF INCREASING OUR AUTHORIZED SHARES—
Current Plans, Proposals or Arrangements to issue shares of Common Stock” on page 105 of the Proxy Statement as follows (changes
marked, with new text bold and underlined and deleted text bold and strikethrough):

following disclosure amends and restates the paragraph under the heading “Proposal 1: Approval of the Acquisition Proposal—Required
