(1)

The number of common shares (“LMDX common shares”) of LumiraDx Limited (“LumiraDx” or the “Company”) and warrants (“LMDX new warrants”) to purchase LMDX common shares being registered is based upon an estimate of the sum of: (A) the maximum number of shares of common stock of CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (“CAH”) that will be outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (as defined herein) and exchanged for one LMDX common share for each CAH share, assuming the Subdivision (as defined herein) has occurred, and (B) the maximum number of CAH public warrants that will be outstanding immediately prior to the Merger and exchanged for one LMDX new warrant for each such CAH public warrant, assuming the Subdivision has occurred.

(2)

In accordance with Rule 457(f)(1) and Rule 457(c), as applicable, based on (i) in respect of LMDX common shares to be issued to CAH stockholders, the average of the high ($ ) and low ($ ) prices CAH shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on , 2021, and (ii) in respect of LMDX new warrants to be issued to holders of CAH public warrants, the sum of (a) the average of the high ($ ) and low ($ ) prices for the CAH public warrants on Nasdaq on , 2021 and (b) $11.50, the exercise price of the CAH public warrants. The maximum number of LMDX new warrants and LMDX common shares issuable upon exercise of the LMDX new warrants are being simultaneously registered hereunder. Consistent with the response to Question 240.06 of the Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, the registration fee with respect to the LMDX new warrants has been allocated to the underlying LMDX common shares and those LMDX common shares are included in the registration fee.

(3)

Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the filing fee for this registration statement has been offset in full by fees totaling $10,910 paid in connection with the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No: 333-252174) filed by the Registrant. Such registration statement was withdrawn pursuant to Form RW filed on April 7, 2021. Such registration statement was not declared effective and no securities were sold thereunder.

(4)

Represents LMDX common shares issuable in exchange for CAH shares (including the CAH common stock underlying units) of CAH. To achieve an exchange ratio of one LMDX common share for each CAH share, LumiraDx shall effect pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement a subdivision (the “Subdivision”), immediately prior to the Effective Time, of all issued, and authorized but unissued, LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares at a ratio of 2.625766662:1. The number of LMDX common shares set out above assumes the completion of the Subdivision.

(5)

Represents LMDX common shares issuable to CAH stockholders upon the exercise of the LMDX new warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one LMDX common share at a price of $11.50 commencing 30 days after the Closing Date (as defined herein). The number of LMDX common shares set out above assumes the completion of the Subdivision.

(6)

Represents the CAH public warrants, which will be assumed by LumiraDx at the Effective Time, which we refer to herein as the LMDX new warrants. Each whole LMDX new warrant entitles the holder to purchase one LMDX common share. The number of LMDX new warrants set out above assumes the completion of the Subdivision.

(7)	Pursuant to Rule 416(a), there are also being registered an indeterminable number of additional securities as may be issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, subdivisions, stock dividends or similar transactions.

The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

The information in this proxy statement/prospectus is not complete and may be changed.

Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF

CA HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION CORP.

PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 14,780,000 LMDX COMMON SHARES

5,750,000 LMDX WARRANTS AND 5,750,000 LMDX COMMON SHARES UNDERLYING WARRANTS

LUMIRADX LIMITED

The board of directors of CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“CAH”), has unanimously approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 6, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among LumiraDx Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“LumiraDx” or the “Company”), LumiraDx Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of LumiraDx (“Merger Sub”), and CAH which, among other things, provides for Merger Sub to be merged with and into CAH with CAH being the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”). As a result of and upon consummation of the Merger, CAH will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LumiraDx, with security holders of CAH becoming security holders of LumiraDx.

Prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), LumiraDx intends to effect a Capital Restructuring (as defined below), including a subdivision (the “Subdivision”) of each LMDX ordinary share and each LMDX common share into such number of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares (as applicable) calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement at the LMDX Conversion Factor (being 2.625766662:1) to achieve an exchange ratio in the Merger of one LMDX common share for each CAH share.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and assuming the Capital Restructuring has occurred, each outstanding share of CAH Class B common stock shall be converted into shares of CAH common stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and at the Effective Time each outstanding share of CAH common stock shall be automatically canceled and extinguished and reissued to LumiraDx as one share of common stock of CAH, in consideration for the right to receive one LMDX common share. The outstanding CAH public warrants shall, by their terms, automatically entitle the holders to purchase LMDX common shares upon the completion of the Merger. In addition, pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, the sponsor will exchange all 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants for 405,000 LMDX common shares. Accordingly, this proxy statement/prospectus covers an aggregate of 14,780,000 LMDX common shares, 5,750,000 LMDX new warrants, and 5,750,000 LMDX common shares underlying LMDX new warrants exercisable by certain of the former stockholders of CAH following the completion of the Merger.

The proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement will be presented at the special meeting of stockholders of CAH scheduled to be held on , 2021.

CAH’s units, CAH common stock and CAH public warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols CAHCU, CAHC and CAHCW, respectively. LumiraDx intends to apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Merger, of the LMDX common shares and the LMDX new warrants to be assumed by LumiraDx in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement on Nasdaq under the symbols LMDX and LMDXW, respectively. LumiraDx will not have units traded following the completion of the Merger. It is a condition of the completion of the Merger that the relevant LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants are approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance such listing condition will be met.

Each of CAH and LumiraDx is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

LumiraDx will also be a “foreign private issuer” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, LumiraDx’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, LumiraDx will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Merger. We encourage you to carefully read this entire document. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated , 2021, and is first being mailed to CAH stockholders on or about , 2021.

Unless otherwise stated in this proxy statement/prospectus, references in this document to the number of LMDX ordinary shares, LMDX common shares, LMDX series A preferred shares, LMDX series B preferred shares, 2016 warrants, 2019 warrants, 2020 warrants, Jefferies warrants, SVB warrants, Phamakon warrants or options issued or to be issued by LumiraDx shall be to the number of such shares, warrants or options issued as of March 31, 2021 and, unless otherwise stated, have not been adjusted to reflect any subdivision or other form of consolidation of LumiraDx’s share capital following March 31, 2021 (including the proposed Capital Restructuring and Subdivision), except that, for the avoidance of doubt, such numbers (other than the historical audited financial statements of LumiraDx and LumiraDx’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions) reflect the 220:1 subdivision effected by LumiraDx on February 1, 2021. However, the number of LMDX common shares and the number of LMDX new warrants to be issued to CAH stockholders pursuant to the Merger which are the subject of this proxy statement/prospectus reflect the actual number to be issued and assume the Subdivision has been effected.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

Certain information included in this proxy statement/prospectus concerning LumiraDx’s industry, including its total addressable market, the volume of tests and the shift of tests from the central lab to the point of care, or POC, are based on its good faith estimates and assumptions derived from management’s knowledge of the industry and other information currently available to LumiraDx. This proxy statement/prospectus also includes industry and market data that LumiraDx has obtained from periodic industry publications, third-party studies and surveys and other filings of public companies in its industry. Industry publications and surveys generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. This industry and market data could be wrong because of the method by which sources obtained their data and because information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties. In addition, LumiraDx does not know all of the assumptions regarding general economic conditions or growth that were used in preparing the forecasts from the sources relied upon or cited herein. LumiraDx believes the industry and market data that it obtained from third-party sources are reliable.

The industry in which LumiraDx operates, as well as the assumptions and estimates of its future performance and the future performance of the industry in which it operates, are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17 and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these estimates.

TRADEMARKS, TRADE NAMES AND SERVICE MARKS

CAH, LumiraDx and their respective subsidiaries own or have rights to trademarks, trade names and service marks that they use in connection with the operation of their business. In addition, their names, logos and website names and addresses are their trademarks or service marks. Other trademarks, trade names and service marks appearing in this proxy statement/prospectus are the property of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, in some cases, the trademarks, trade names and service marks referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus are listed without the applicable ®, ™ and SM symbols, but they will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, their rights to these trademarks, trade names and service marks.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS AND THE SPECIAL MEETING

The questions and answers below highlight only selected information from this proxy statement/prospectus and only briefly address some commonly asked questions about the special meeting and the proposals to be presented at the special meeting. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to CAH stockholders. CAH stockholders are urged to read carefully this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the other documents referred to herein, to fully understand the proposed Merger, the proposals to be considered at the special meeting, and the voting procedures for the special meeting.

Q.	Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

CAH, LumiraDx and Merger Sub have entered into the Merger Agreement that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and CAH encourages CAH stockholders to read it in its entirety. CAH stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, which, among other things, provides that (a) Merger Sub will be merged with and into CAH with CAH being the surviving company in the Merger and (b) CAH will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LumiraDx. See the section titled “Proposal No. 1 - The Merger Proposal” beginning on page 99.

This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed Merger. CAH stockholders should read it carefully.

The vote of CAH stockholders is important. CAH stockholders are encouraged to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q.	Are there any other matters being presented to stockholders at the meeting?

In addition to voting to approve the Merger, CAH stockholders will vote on the following:

Separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of LumiraDx that will be in effect upon the closing of the Merger and CAH’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “LumiraDx Limited” as opposed to “CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp.”; (ii) the authorized share capital of the new public entity will be US$10,290 divided into, assuming completion of the Subdivision, 2,888,343,328 LMDX ordinary shares with a par value (to seven decimal places) of $0.0000017 per LMDX ordinary share, (2) 2,888,343,328 LMDX common shares with a par value (to seven decimal places) of $0.0000017 per LMDX common share and (3) undesignated shares of such class or classes (however designated) as the board of LumiraDx may determine, as opposed to CAH having 110,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) the new public entity has two classes of shares such that each holder of LMDX common shares will be entitled to one vote for each such share and each holder of LMDX ordinary shares will be entitled to ten votes for each such share; (iv) the new public entity shall have two classes of directors, other than the LMDX Founder Directors, serving staggered terms with the terms of Class I and Class II directors expiring at the annual general meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022 and 2023, respectively, and each term expiring two years thereafter, in each case; and (v) LumiraDx’s constitutional documents will not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that CAH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated in a certain period of time). This vote, however, will not actually result in stockholders of CAH approving LumiraDx’s constitutional documents or amendments to CAH’s corporate governing documents but instead will simply approve the aforementioned material differences in the two sets of documents. See the section titled “Proposal No. 2 - The Charter Proposals” beginning on page 121. The Merger will not be consummated unless the charter proposals and the Merger Proposal are approved by CAH stockholders.

If applicable, to adjourn the meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if CAH would not have been able to consummate the Merger. See the section titled “Proposal No. 3 - The Adjournment Proposal” beginning on page 124.

CAH will hold the special meeting of CAH stockholders to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed Merger and the other matters to be acted upon at the special meeting. CAH stockholders should read it carefully.

Consummation of the Merger is conditional on approval of the Merger Proposal and the charter proposals. If either of these proposals are not approved, the other proposals will not be presented to stockholders for a vote and the Merger will not be consummated.

Q.	I am a holder of CAH warrants. Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

Upon consummation of the Merger, the CAH public warrants shall be assumed by the Company, to be referred to herein as the LMDX new warrants, and shall entitle the holder of a whole LMDX new warrant to purchase one LMDX common share in lieu of shares of CAH common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share and on substantially the same terms. This proxy statement/prospectus includes important information about LumiraDx and the business of LumiraDx and its subsidiaries following consummation of the Merger. Holders of LMDX new warrants (formerly CAH public warrants) will be entitled to purchase LMDX common shares following the consummation of the Merger in accordance with its terms, CAH therefore urges you to read the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. For the avoidance of doubt, neither CAH public warrants nor the CAH private placement warrants carry rights to vote at the special meeting.

Q.	Why is CAH proposing the Merger?

CAH was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On January 29, 2021, CAH completed its initial public offering of units, with each unit consisting of one share of CAH common stock and one-half of one CAH public warrant, each whole warrant to purchase one share of CAH common stock at a price of $11.50, raising total gross proceeds of approximately $115,000,000. Since the CAH IPO, CAH’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.

LumiraDx is a provider of next-generation POC diagnostics to address the current limitations of legacy POC systems by bringing lab-comparable performance to the POC in minutes, on a single instrument with a low cost of ownership. LumiraDx is focused on transforming community-based healthcare by providing critical diagnostic information to healthcare providers at the point of need, thereby enabling more informed medical decisions to improve health outcomes while lowering costs. LumiraDx has developed and launched the Platform, which is an integrated system comprised of a small, versatile POC instrument, or Instrument, precise, low-cost microfluidic test strips, and seamless, secure digital connectivity. LumiraDx currently has five tests available on the Platform and a broad menu of tests in development. The Platform is designed to simplify, scale down, and integrate multiple testing methodologies onto a single instrument and offer a broad menu of tests with lab-comparable performance at a low cost and with results generally in 10 minutes or less from sample to result. With the Platform, LumiraDx’s goal is to address the key challenges faced by healthcare providers in providing efficient and cost-effective patient care in a community setting. LumiraDx has benefitted from this trend, and CAH believes it will continue to benefit from this trend.

Based on its due diligence investigations of LumiraDx and the industry in which it operates, CAH believes that the Merger will provide CAH stockholders with an opportunity to participate in the ownership of a company with significant growth potential. See the section titled “Summary - CAH’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Merger” beginning on page 3.

vii

Q.	Did the CAH board of directors obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Merger?

CAH’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the Merger. The officers and directors of CAH and CAH’s advisors have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and backgrounds, together with the experience and sector expertise of CAH’s financial advisors, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Merger. In addition, CAH’s officers and directors and CAH’s advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions.

Q.	Do I have redemption rights?

If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to demand that CAH redeem such public shares for a pro rata portion of the cash held in CAH’s trust account provided that you vote either for or against the Merger Proposal. CAH sometimes refers to these rights to demand redemption of the public shares as “redemption rights.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 15% held by a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed.

Under CAH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Merger may be consummated only if CAH has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after giving effect to the redemption of all public shares the holders of which properly demand redemption of their shares for cash. However, LumiraDx is not required to consummate the Merger unless there is at least $65,000,000 of funds in CAH’s trust account, prior to payment of any unpaid or contingent liabilities, deferred underwriting fees or transaction costs of any of the parties.

Q.	How do I exercise my redemption rights?

If you are a holder of public shares and wish to exercise your redemption rights, you must (i) demand that CAH redeem your public shares into cash no later than the second business day preceding the date of the special meeting by delivering your shares to CAH’s transfer agent physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian) System prior to the vote at the special meeting. Any holder of public shares will be entitled to demand that such holder’s shares be redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $ , or $ per share, as of , 2021, the record date). Such amount, less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the trust account, will be paid promptly upon consummation of the Merger. However, under Delaware law, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of CAH’s public stockholders exercising redemption rights. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any proposal other than the Merger Proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the Merger Proposal at the special meeting. If you deliver your shares for redemption to CAH’s transfer agent and later decide prior to the special meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that CAH’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting CAH’s transfer agent at the address listed at the end of this section.

viii

Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of redemption rights must be received by CAH’s transfer agent prior to the vote taken on the Merger Proposal at the special meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to CAH’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the special meeting.

If a holder of CAH common stock votes for or against the Merger Proposal and demand is properly made as described above, then, if the Merger is consummated, CAH will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account. If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of CAH common stock for cash and will not be entitled to LMDX common shares upon consummation of the Merger.

If you are a holder of CAH common stock and you exercise your redemption rights, it will not result in the loss of any CAH public warrants that you may hold. Your whole CAH public warrants will become exercisable to purchase one LMDX common share in lieu of one share of CAH common stock for a purchase price of $11.50 upon consummation of the Merger.

Q.	Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Merger?

No. Neither CAH stockholders nor holders of CAH units or CAH warrants have appraisal rights in connection with the Merger under the DGCL. See the section titled “Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 278.

Q.	What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the Merger?

Of the net proceeds of the CAH IPO, $112,700,000, together with $2,300,000 of the amount raised from the private sale of CAH private placement warrants simultaneously with the consummation of the CAH IPO, being an aggregate total of $115,000,000, was placed in the trust account immediately following the CAH IPO. After consummation of the Merger, the funds in the trust account will be used to pay holders of the CAH common stock who exercise redemption rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger (including aggregate fees of approximately $4,025,000 to the underwriters of the CAH IPO as deferred underwriting commissions) and for LumiraDx’s working capital and general corporate purposes.

Q.	What happens if a substantial number of public stockholders vote in favor of the Merger and exercise their redemption rights?

CAH’s public stockholders may vote in favor of the Merger and still exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Merger may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by public stockholders. Also, with fewer public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for the LMDX common shares may be less liquid than the market for CAH’s shares of common stock was prior to the Merger and LumiraDx may not be able to meet the listing standards of a national securities exchange.

Q.	What happens if the Merger is not consummated?

If CAH does not complete the Merger for whatever reason, CAH would search for another target business with which to complete a business combination. If CAH does not complete the Merger or a business combination with another target business by January 29, 2023, CAH must redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the amount then held in the trust account divided by the number of outstanding public shares. The sponsor and the CAH founders have no redemption rights in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period, and, accordingly, their CAH founder shares will be worthless. Additionally, in the event of such liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to outstanding CAH warrants. Accordingly, such warrants will expire worthless.

Q.	How does the sponsor intend to vote on the proposals?

The sponsor owns of record and is entitled to vote an aggregate of 20% of the outstanding CAH shares. The sponsor and the CAH founders have agreed to vote any CAH founder shares and any public shares held by them as of the record date, in favor of the Merger, the Merger Proposal and the charter proposals.

Q.	What interests do the sponsor and the current officers and directors of CAH have in the Merger?

When considering the recommendation of the CAH board of directors that CAH stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Merger, CAH stockholders should be aware that CAH’s directors and executive officers, and entities affiliated with them, have interests in the Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of CAH stockholders. These interests include:

•

Tom Cibotti and other advisors of CAH are members of Covington Associates. Mr. Cibotti and Covington Associates have an over 25-year business relationship with the Chief Executive Officer and each of the LMDX Founder Directors. Since 1993, Covington Associates and CA Advisors, an affiliate of Covington Associates, have provided investment banking services to two unaffiliated companies, Inverness and Alere, previously managed by the LMDX Founder Directors. During that period, Covington Associates advised Inverness and Alere on approximately 32 M&A and debt placement transactions.

•

Certain members of Covington Associates have also been involved with the LumiraDx group since its formation in mid-2014, including serving as equity and debt placement advisors to the Company and participating in many of the Company’s board meetings. Since 2014, CA Advisors has advised the Company on numerous potential business opportunities, including the closing of two debt transactions. Some of the Covington Associates principals, as well as some other members of the sponsor and CA Advisors, an affiliate of Covington Associates, have personally invested in the Company. Members of the sponsor and CA Advisors own as of April 1, 2021 LMDX ordinary shares, LMDX common shares, convertible notes and warrants in LumiraDx that, in the aggregate and following the conversion of such convertible notes and exercise of such warrants, equal to approximately 359,920 LMDX ordinary shares and 106,260 LMDX common shares, to be adjusted in the Capital Restructuring and Subdivision pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and which represent less than one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Company’s fully-diluted equity.

•

In January 2021, as part of its regular advisory services on behalf of the Company, CA Advisors was engaged by the Company as placement agent in connection with the Company’s $300 million senior secured debt facility between, inter alia, LumiraDx Investment Limited (a member of the LumiraDx group) and Pharmakon, and an accounts receivable facility of initially $50 million to be provided by Capital One, as Administrative Agent and Lender, with the potential to be upsized to a total of $100 million. The availability of such accounts receivable facility is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of a number of conditions set forth in the commitment letter (including negotiation and execution of long form documentation).

These financial interests of the officers and directors, and entities affiliated with them, may have influenced their decision to approve the Merger. You should consider these interests when evaluating the Merger and the recommendation of the proposal to vote in favor of the Merger and other proposals to be presented to CAH stockholders.

Q.	When do you expect the Merger to be completed?

It is currently anticipated that the Merger will be consummated promptly following the CAH special meeting which is set for , 2021; however, such meeting could be adjourned, as described above.

The Merger is also conditional on the approvals of the LumiraDx Proposals (as defined herein) by the requisite majorities of the relevant classes of LumiraDx security holders being obtained. For a description of the conditions to the Merger, see the section titled “Proposal No. 1 - The Merger Agreement - Additional Agreements - Conditions to Closing” beginning on page 107.

Q.	What do I need to do now?

CAH urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the Merger will affect you as a stockholder and/or warrant holder of CAH. CAH stockholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q.	How do I vote?

If you are a holder of record of CAH shares on the record date, you may vote virtually at the special meeting or by submitting a proxy for the special meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope or submit your proxy by phone or the internet. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting virtually and vote, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q.	If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

No. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee.

Q.	May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

Yes. Stockholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to CAH’s transfer agent at the address set forth at the end of this section, so that it is received prior to the vote at the special meeting or attend the special meeting virtually and vote. Stockholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to CAH’s transfer agent, which must be received prior to the vote at the special meeting.

Q.	What constitutes a quorum for the special meeting?

A quorum is the minimum number of CAH shares that must be held by CAH Stockholders present at the special meeting (in person or by proxy) to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the CAH special meeting if a majority of all the outstanding CAH shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented at the virtual special meeting or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The CAH common stock and founder shares are entitled vote together as a single class on all matters to be considered at the special meeting.

Q:	What stockholder vote thresholds are required for the approval of each proposal brought before the special meeting?

The approval of the Merger Proposal and the charter proposals will require the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding CAH shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote against the proposals. The approval of the adjournment proposal, if

presented, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of CAH shares represented and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting. Abstentions are deemed entitled to vote on such proposals. Therefore, they have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed entitled to vote on such adjournment proposal and, therefore, they will have no effect on the vote on such adjournment proposal.

Q.	What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the special meeting?

If you fail to take any action with respect to the special meeting and the Merger is approved by CAH stockholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder of LumiraDx and/or your LMDX new warrants will entitle you to purchase LMDX common shares. As a corollary, failure to vote either for or against the Merger Proposal means you will not have any redemption rights in connection with the Merger to exchange your shares of CAH common stock for a pro rata share of the funds held in CAH’s trust account. If you fail to take any action with respect to the special meeting and the Merger is not approved, you will continue to be a stockholder and/or warrant holder of CAH.

Q.	What should I do with my stock and/or warrants certificates?

Those stockholders who do not elect to have their CAH public shares redeemed for the pro rata share of the trust account should not submit their stock certificates now. After the consummation of the Merger, LumiraDx will send instructions to CAH stockholders regarding the exchange of their CAH shares for LMDX common shares. Holders of CAH common stock who exercise their redemption rights must deliver their stock certificates to CAH’s transfer agent (either physically or electronically) prior to the vote at the special meeting as described above.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the CAH public warrants will be assumed by LumiraDx (which we refer to herein as the LMDX new warrants) and will entitle holders to purchase LMDX common shares. Therefore, holders of CAH public warrants need not deliver their CAH public warrants to CAH or LumiraDx at that time.

Q.	What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

CAH stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your CAH public shares.

Information About the Companies

LumiraDx Limited

LumiraDx is a next-generation POC diagnostic company addressing the current limitations of legacy POC systems by bringing lab-comparable performance to the POC in minutes, on a single instrument with a low cost of ownership. LumiraDx is focused on transforming community-based healthcare by providing critical diagnostic information to healthcare providers at the point of need, thereby enabling more informed medical decisions to improve health outcomes while lowering costs. LumiraDx has developed and launched the Platform, which is an integrated system comprised of a small, versatile POC instrument, or Instrument, precise, low-cost microfluidic test strips, and seamless, secure digital connectivity. There are currently five tests available on the Platform and a broad menu of tests in development. LumiraDx’s proprietary Platform is designed to simplify, scale down, and integrate multiple testing methodologies onto a single instrument and offer a broad menu of tests with lab-comparable performance at a low cost and with results generally in 10 minutes or less from sample to result. With the Platform, LumiraDx’s goal is to address the key challenges faced by healthcare providers in providing efficient and cost-effective patient care in a community setting.

LumiraDx is initially focused on the development of tests for several of the most common conditions diagnosed or managed in community-based healthcare settings. For many of the tests LumiraDx commercializes, or plans to commercialize, there are no existing high performance POC alternatives. Its initial authorized tests and those under development are designed to address unmet diagnostic needs in the fields of infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and coagulation disorders. To date, LumiraDx has developed and launched five diagnostic tests for use with the Instrument: the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 antigen test commercially available under an Emergency Use Authorization in the United States, or EUA, which authorizes the emergency use of the test during the period in which an emergency declaration remains in effect, and a CE Mark (following self-certification against the relevant E.U. Directive) in the European Economic Area, as well as the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 antibody test, LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test, LumiraDx International Normalized Ratio, or INR, test, and LumiraDx D-Dimer test, all of which are CE Marked. Based on the same chemistry and test strip design as LumiraDx’s SARS-CoV-2 antigen test on the Platform, LumiraDx has also started development of its Amira System, which is designed as a high-sensitivity mass screening and home testing system for COVID-19.

LumiraDx’s registered office is located at Ocorian Trust (Cayman) Limited, P.O. Box 1350, Windward 3, Regatta Office Park, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands, and its telephone number is +1 (345) 640-0540.

services, healthcare information technology, care management, behavioral health, medical devices, diagnostics, pharma services, health and wellness, and specialty pharmacy. Prior to executing the Merger Agreement, CAH’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its initial public offering and the evaluation of possible business combinations.

On January 29, 2021, CAH consummated its initial public offering of 11,500,000 units, including 1,500,000 units under the underwriters’ over-allotment option, with each unit consisting of one share of CAH common stock and one half of one CAH public warrant, each whole warrant to purchase one share of CAH common stock. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, CAH consummated the private placement of 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants to the sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $4,050,000. The sponsor also acquired 2,875,000 shares of CAH’s Class B common stock.

CAH’s units, CAH common stock and CAH public warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols CAHCU, CAHC and CAHCW, respectively.

The mailing address of CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp.’s principal executive office is 99 Summer Street, Suite 200, Boston, MA 02110, and its telephone number is (617) 314-3901. After the consummation of the Merger, CAH’s principal executive office will be that of LumiraDx.

Merger Sub

Merger Sub is a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of LumiraDx. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the proposed Merger and has not carried on any activities other than in connection with the proposed Merger. The address and telephone number for Merger Sub’s principal executive offices are the same as those for LumiraDx.

The Merger

The terms and conditions of the Merger are contained in the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read the Merger Agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the Merger. References to the number and nominal value of any LMDX ordinary share, LMDX common share or any other security of LumiraDx in this “Summary” section unless otherwise indicated, are to the numbers and nominal values as set in the Merger Agreement and therefore assume the completion of the proposed Subdivision. However, the numbers and nominal values as set out in “Pre-Merger Transactions” section do not reflect the completion of the proposed Subdivision.

If the Merger Proposal and each of the charter proposals are approved and adopted and the Merger is subsequently completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into CAH with CAH surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of LumiraDx.

Pre-Merger Transactions

Capital Restructuring: Immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) (A) each series A 8% cumulative convertible preferred share with a par value of US$0.0000045 each in the capital of LumiraDx, or a LMDX series A preferred share, that is issued and outstanding will be converted into one LMDX ordinary share in accordance with the LMDX Articles, or the LMDX series A preferred share conversion; (B) each series B 8% cumulative convertible preferred share with a par value of US$0.0000045 each in the capital of LumiraDx, or a LMDX series B preferred share, and together with LMDX series A preferred shares, the LMDX preferred shares,

that is issued and outstanding will be converted into LMDX common shares in accordance with the LMDX Articles, or the LMDX series B preferred share conversion, and, together with the LMDX series A preferred share conversion, the LMDX preferred share conversion; (C) the 5% notes will be converted into 9,195,340

LMDX common shares, or the 5% convertible loan note conversion; (D) the 10% notes will be converted into 7,802,080 LMDX common shares, or the 10% convertible loan note conversion and, together with the 5% convertible loan note conversion, the LMDX convertible loan note conversions; and (ii) immediately following the LMDX preferred share conversion and the LMDX convertible loan note conversions, LumiraDx shall effect a subdivision of each LMDX ordinary share and each LMDX common share into such number of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares (as applicable) calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement at the LMDX Conversion Factor (being 2.625766662:1), or the Subdivision, such that the equity value per share (either LMDX ordinary share or LMDX common share) on a fully diluted basis (using the treasury stock method of accounting) is $10.00 per share, based on a valuation of LumiraDx of $5 billion (which valuation may be increased for shares issued for cash in equity financing transactions prior to the Effective Time), such Subdivision, together with the LMDX preferred share conversion and the LMDX convertible loan note conversions, being the Capital Restructuring. The purpose of the Subdivision is to achieve an exchange ratio in the Merger of one LMDX common share for each share of CAH common stock.

CAH Class B Conversion: Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, after giving effect to the Capital Restructuring and the redemption rights of holders of CAH common stock of CAH (i) each issued and outstanding share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of CAH shall be automatically converted into one share of CAH Common Stock, par value $0.0001, in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of CAH (such automatic conversion, the “CAH Class B Conversion”).

Merger Consideration

After giving effect to the Capital Restructuring, the redemption rights of holders of CAH common stock and the CAH Class B Conversion, at the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of CAH common stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and extinguished in exchange for one LMDX common share. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger, each outstanding CAH public warrant to purchase shares of CAH common stock, other than the 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants held by the sponsor, will automatically become a LMDX new warrant to purchase LMDX common shares and thereupon be assumed by LumiraDx. Each whole new LMDX new warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one LMDX common share. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger, the 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants held by the sponsor shall be exchanged for 405,000 LMDX common shares.

CAH’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Merger

CAH’s board of directors, in evaluating the Merger, consulted with CAH’s management and legal and financial advisors. CAH’s board of directors held multiple meetings to discuss the business and products of the Company as well as the comparable company and transaction universe. During these meetings, CAH’s board of directors was also briefed on the opportunities for the Company, which CAH’s management and advisors believed could be achieved based on the proposed strategy that the Company intends to implement following the Merger. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, including the proposed Merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of CAH and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that CAH stockholders adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger and related proposals, CAH’s board of directors considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors, the CAH board of directors did not consider it practicable to and did not attempt to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its determination. The CAH board of directors viewed its position as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of CAH’s reasons for

recommending the Merger and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 89.

In approving the Merger, the CAH board of directors determined not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of CAH have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and backgrounds, together with the experience and sector expertise of CAH’s advisors enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Merger. In addition, CAH’s officers, directors and advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions.

In considering the Merger, the CAH board of directors gave considerable weight to the following factors:

•

Management Track Record. This is the Company management team’s fourth company, having previously built the industry’s largest POC testing business (Alere), which was subsequently sold to Abbott;

•

Strong Relationship With Management. Advisors to CAH and members of the sponsor have an over 25-year relationship with the LMDX Founder Directors and have witnessed the team’s ability to create shareholder value consistently;

•

Disruptive Solutions for POC Testing. Unlike most of the existing POC market, the Platform delivers low-cost, rapid results for a broad menu of tests with lab comparable performance on a single platform;

•

Attractive Global Market Opportunity. The Company operates in over 60 countries with extensive strategic and government partnerships such as CVS Pharmacy, the National Health Service in the UK and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Company’s goal goes beyond the POC market as it plans to also target the $45 billion global central lab testing market;

•

Large-Scale, Low-Cost Manufacturing Infrastructure. The Company currently has capacity to manufacture over 15 million test strips per month (expected to expand to 35 to 45 million per month by end of 2021) at a low cost. The Company also has a long standing contract manufacturing relationship with Flextronics Ltd. which has the capacity to produce over 1,000 Instruments per week;

•

Mass Screening. The Company’s mass screening testing system (the Amira System) is expected to complement the existing Platform and represents a significant opportunity to assist in the reopening of economies around the world;

•

Platform Validation. COVID-19 has validated the strength of the Platform’s performance. The Company is now delivering among the best performing assays in the marketplace at the POC, delivering lab comparable results in 12 minutes for its SARS-CoV-2 antigen test;

•

Accelerated Distribution. The current COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the distribution of the Platform. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has shipped over 13,000 Instruments with over 800 customers;

•

Expansive Test Menu. The Company has five assays available and a pipeline of over 30 assays under development on the Platform with established commercial partnerships across common health conditions, including infectious disease (such as COVID-19), cardiovascular disease, diabetes and coagulation disorders to address the over $50 billion global market opportunity with the Platform;

•

Extensive IP Portfolio. The Company has significant and growing patent estate relating to the Platform’s technologies, clinical assays, Amira system and related technologies;

•

Attractive Valuation. A $5 billion pre-money equity value represents an attractive entry point for a high-growth, transformative company that is disrupting the POC landscape; and

•

Other Alternatives. CAH’s board of directors believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to CAH, that the Merger represents the best potential business combination for CAH and the most attractive opportunity for CAH’s management to accelerate its business plan based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential combination targets and CAH’s board of directors’ belief that such process has not presented a better alternative.

The CAH board of directors also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Merger, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, roll out of vaccination programs and the effects they could have on the Company’s revenues;

•

Benefits May Not be Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Merger may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•

Growth Initiatives May Not be Achieved. The risk that the growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•

No Third-Party Valuation. The fact that CAH did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the Merger;

•

Loss of Key Personnel. Key personnel in the Company’s industry is vital and competition for such personnel is intense. The loss of any key personnel could be detrimental to the Company’s operations;

•

Regulatory Risks. The risks of changes in the Company’s regulatory environment, including healthcare laws and the possibility that regulatory authorities may assert non-compliance with applicable regulations, including FDA requirements;

•

Liquidation. The risks and costs to CAH if the Merger is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in CAH being unable to effect a business combination within the completion window and force CAH to liquidate;

•

Stockholder Vote. The risk that CAH stockholders may object to and challenge the Merger and take action that may prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger, including to vote down the proposals at the special meeting or redeem their shares;

•

Closing Conditions. The fact that completion of the Merger is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within CAH’s control;

•

Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Merger or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Merger;

•

Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Merger;

•

Redemptions. The risk that CAH’s current public stockholders may redeem their CAH common stock for cash in connection with consummation of the Merger, thereby reducing the amount of cash available and potentially resulting in an inability to consummate the Merger;

•

Post-Combination Corporate Governance. The corporate governance provisions of the Merger Agreement, each Ancillary Agreement and the material provisions of the proposed Amended and Restated Articles. In particular, they considered the superior voting rights that the holders of LMDX ordinary shares have and that these rights are not generally available to the holders of LMDX common shares;

•

Dual-Class Structure. The fact of concentrated voting power in the dual-class share structure (with 10:1 voting rights for the holders of LMDX ordinary shares), but determined that they were outweighed by the long-term benefits that a founder-controlled company would provide to CAH stockholders and future shareholders after the Closing Date;

•

CAH Stockholders Receiving a Minority Position in the Post-Combination Company. The fact that CAH stockholders will hold a minority share position in the post-combination Company (approximately 2.9% of the outstanding share capital of the Company, assuming that no shares of CAH common stock are elected to be redeemed by CAH stockholders), which may reduce the influence that CAH’s current stockholders have on the management of the Company;

•

Short-Term Revenue Fluctuations. The Company’s short-term revenue prospects will vary with the amount of demand for COVID-19 tests, potentially impacted by vaccine roll out as well as mass screening opportunities;

•

Customer Concentration. The Company’s largest two customers in 2020 accounted for 29% and 17%, respectively, of the Company’s group revenue, loss of any of these customers could therefore have a significant negative impact on the Company’s prospects;

•

Commercialization of Existing Products. The Company is at a pivotal point in the commercialization of the Platform, which may not succeed for a variety of reasons;

•

New Assays. Developing new assays involves a lengthy and complex process and the Company may be unable to commercialize additional tests on the Platform on a timely basis, or at all;

•

Amira System. The Company’s Amira System may not obtain regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance, and the Company may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize the Amira System, including scaling up manufacturing and sales capacity;

•

Supply Chain Risk. The Company relies on a limited number of suppliers or, in some cases, sole source suppliers, for the components of the Platform or the Amira System and materials and may not be able to find, or immediately transition to, alternative suppliers;

•

Manufacturing at Scale. As the Company continues to expand its business, the Company may experience problems in scaling its manufacturing and commercial operations, and if the Company is unable to support demand for the Platform and future tests, including ensuring that the Company has adequate capacity to meet increased demand, or is unable to successfully manage the evolution of the Platform, the Company’s business could suffer; and

•

Other Risks. Various other risks associated with the business of the Company, as described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17 and appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The CAH board of directors concluded that the potential benefits that it expected CAH and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the Merger outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Merger. Accordingly, the CAH board of directors unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement and the Merger contemplated therein, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of CAH and its stockholders.

Related Agreements

Merger and related proposals, and to vote against any proposal in opposition to the approval of the Merger Agreement or inconsistent with the Merger Agreement, (ii) the sponsor and each CAH Initial Stockholder agreed not to transfer any equity securities of CAH prior to the consummation of the Merger, and thereafter to comply with an agreed lock-up period, (iii) the sponsor agreed to exchange the 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants issued to it at the time of the CAH IPO for 405,000 LMDX common shares, and such LMDX common shares shall not be transferred, other than as provided for in the Sponsor Agreement and Amended and Restated Articles, until the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing, and (iv) in the event that a certain percentage of the CAH public shares are redeemed, the sponsor agreed to forfeit a corresponding percentage of the CAH founder shares that would have otherwise converted into LMDX common shares; provided that for the period from the Closing Date and up to December 31, 2021, LumiraDx, in its sole discretion, may elect to issue, on the same terms as provided for in the Merger Agreement, LMDX common shares in respect of some or all of such forfeited shares to the sponsor.

LumiraDx Securityholder Support Agreement

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company and certain holders of the Company’s LMDX ordinary shares, 5% notes, 10% notes and/or 2020 warrants (the “Relevant Holders”) entered into an agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Relevant Holders agreed (i) to vote in favor of the LumiraDx Proposals (as defined herein) at the relevant meetings to be convened by the Company in order to seek the LumiraDx Approvals (as defined herein), and to vote against any competing business combination proposal and any other proposal that would reasonably be expected to impede, frustrate or delay the Merger, and (ii) not to transfer, other than to affiliates or other Relevant Holders, any of such Relevant Holder’s LMDX ordinary shares, 5% notes, 10% notes and/or 2020 (as applicable) warrants prior to the consummation of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, holders of registrable securities of the Company, including the sponsor, will be entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to an aggregate of three demands, excluding short form demands, that LumiraDx register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of the Merger. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the Company will pay certain expenses related to such registrations and indemnify securityholders against certain liabilities. The rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement supersede any prior registration, qualification, or similar rights of the parties with respect to LumiraDx or CAH securities, and all such prior agreements shall be terminated.

Appraisal Rights

None of the CAH stockholders or holders of CAH warrants have appraisal rights in connection the Merger under the DGCL. For further details, see the section titled “Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 278.

The Proposals

CAH stockholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting if they owned CAH shares at the close of business on , 2021, which is the record date for the special meeting, on the following proposals:

(1)

to approve the Merger described in this proxy statement/prospectus, including Merger Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related Sponsor Agreement described in this proxy statement/prospectus - we refer to this proposal as the “Merger Proposal”;

(2)

to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of LumiraDx that will be in effect upon the closing of the Transaction and CAH’s current certificate of incorporation: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “LumiraDx Limited” as opposed to “CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp.”; (ii) the authorized share capital of the new public entity will be US$10,290 divided into, assuming completion of the Subdivision, 2,888,343,328 LMDX ordinary shares with a par value (to seven decimal places) of $0.0000017 per LMDX ordinary share, (2) 2,888,343,328 LMDX common shares with a par value (to seven decimal places) of $0.0000017 per LMDX common share and (3) undesignated shares of such class or classes (however designated) as the board of LumiraDx may determine, as opposed to CAH having 110,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) (the new public entity has two classes of shares such that each holder of LMDX common shares will be entitled to one vote for each such share and each holder of LMDX ordinary shares will be entitled to ten votes for each such share; (iv) the new public entity shall have two classes of directors, other than the LMDX Founder Directors, serving staggered terms with the terms of Class I and Class II directors expiring at the annual general meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022 and 2023, respectively, and each term expiring two years thereafter, in each case; and (v) LumiraDx’s constitutional documents will not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that CAH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated in a certain period of time) - we refer to these proposals collectively as the “charter proposals”; and

(3)	if applicable, to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if CAH is unable to consummate the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement - we refer to this proposal as the “adjournment proposal.”

Recommendation to CAH Stockholders

CAH’s board of directors has unanimously determined that the Merger is fair to and in the best interests of CAH and CAH stockholders; has unanimously approved that the Merger Proposal, the charter proposals and the adjournment proposal be submitted for stockholder approval at the meeting; and unanimously recommends that CAH stockholders vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal, “FOR” the charter proposals and “FOR” the adjournment proposal (if applicable) if the adjournment proposal is presented at the meeting.

Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of CAH and Shareholders of LumiraDx

If the Merger is successfully completed, holders of CAH shares will become holders of LMDX common shares, and their rights as shareholders will be governed by LumiraDx’s organizational documents. There are also differences between the laws governing CAH, a Delaware corporation, and LumiraDx, a Cayman Islands exempted company. Please see “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities—Comparison of Rights of CAH Stockholders and LumiraDx Shareholders” on page 247 for more information.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer

Each of CAH and LumiraDx is, and consequently, following the Merger, the Company will be, an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, the Company will be eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find the Company’s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the Company’s securities and the prices of the Company’s securities may be more volatile.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Merger, (b) in which LumiraDx has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which the combined company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the combined company’s common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which the combined company has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

The Company will also be considered a “foreign private issuer.” Even after the Company no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, as long as it qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, the combined company will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

•

the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Exchange Act;

•

the requirement to comply with Regulation FD, which requires selective disclosure of material information;

•

the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

•

the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

The Company may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as it is no longer a foreign private issuer. The Company would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of its executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of its assets are located in the United States; or (iii) its business is administered principally in the United States.

Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies are also exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, even if the Company no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, but remains a foreign private issuer, it will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of companies that are neither an emerging growth company nor a foreign private issuer. As a result, some investors may find LMDX common shares less attractive, which may result in a less active trading market for LMDX common shares and/or more volatility in the price of LMDX common shares.

Summary Risk Factors

You should consider all the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus in deciding how to vote for the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. In particular, you should consider the risk factors described under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

•

LumiraDx is at a pivotal point in the commercialization of the Platform, and LumiraDx may not succeed for a variety of reasons.

•

The short-term revenue prospects of LumiraDx will vary with the amount of demand for COVID-19 tests, which may be adversely impacted by wide-spread implementation of the recently authorized vaccines or other vaccines that are subsequently authorized.

•

LumiraDx may not obtain regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance of the Amira System, and it may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize the Amira System, including scaling up manufacturing and sales capacity.

•

The strategy of LumiraDx to globally launch a broad menu of tests may not be as successful as currently envisioned.

•

LumiraDx may not be able to generate sufficient revenue from the Platform to achieve and maintain profitability.

•

Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have harmed and may continue to seriously harm LumiraDx’s business and increase its costs and expenses.

•

LumiraDx relies on a limited number of suppliers for the components of the Platform or the Amira System and materials and may not be able to find replacements or immediately transition to alternative suppliers.

•

LumiraDx may experience problems in scaling its manufacturing and commercial operations, and scaling may impact performance of its products.

•

LumiraDx recently initiated voluntary recalls and field corrective actions related to a limited number of suspected false positive results associated with a limited number of SARS-CoV-2 antigen test strips and may continue to feel the impact of such actions.

•

The business and reputation of LumiraDx will suffer if the Platform does not perform as expected.

•

LumiraDx currently derives a significant portion of its revenue from a small number of key customers, and loss of any of these customers could cause a material reduction in revenues.

•

The loss of any member of LumiraDx’s senior management team or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled scientists, engineers, clinicians and salespeople could adversely affect LumiraDx’s business.

•

LumiraDx’s business and sale of its products are subject to extensive regulatory requirements and LumiraDx’s products may not be compliant with the new regulatory framework applicable in the European Union (“E.U.”) beginning May 26, 2022, and consequently LumiraDx’s ability to continue to commercialize such products in the E.U. may be impacted and this could impact revenues.

•

If LumiraDx cannot compete successfully with its competitors, LumiraDx may be unable to increase or sustain its revenue or achieve and sustain profitability.

•

The dual class structure of the LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares has the effect of concentrating voting control with those holders of LMDX’s share capital prior to the completion of the Merger.

•

If LumiraDx is unable to obtain and maintain patent and other intellectual property protection for its products and technology, its ability to successfully commercialize any products it develops may be adversely affected.

•

CAH may not have sufficient funds to consummate the Merger.

•

The Merger remains subject to conditions that CAH cannot control and if such conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger may not be consummated.

•

The CAH board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Merger.

•

If CAH’s stockholders fail to properly demand redemption rights, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of CAH common stock for a pro rata portion of the trust account.

•

Public stockholders, together with any affiliates of theirs or any other person with whom they are acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the CAH public shares.

•

Nasdaq may not list the LMDX common shares, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in its securities and subject the Company to additional trading restrictions.

•

CAH’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to CAH’s public stockholders in the event a business combination is not consummated.

•

If CAH is unable to complete the Merger or another business combination by January 29, 2023, CAH will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding CAH public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against CAH and, as a result, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $10.00 per share.

•

The LMDX common shares to be received by CAH’s securityholders as a result of the Merger will have different rights from CAH securities.

•

CAH’s stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after consummation of the Merger and will exercise less influence over management.

•

RISK FACTORS

If the Merger is completed, LumiraDx will operate in a market environment that is difficult to predict and that involves significant risks, many of which will be beyond its control. You should carefully consider the risks described below before voting your shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to LumiraDx and CAH or that they do not currently believe are important to an investor, if they materialize, also may adversely affect the Merger. If any of the events, contingencies, circumstances or conditions described in the following risks actually occur, the combined company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. If that happens, the trading price of LMDX common shares or, if the Merger is not consummated, CAH shares could decline, and you may lose part or all of the value of any LMDX common shares or, if the Merger is not consummated, shares of CAH shares that you hold. In this section “we,” “us” and “our” refer to LumiraDx.

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations Following the Merger

Risks Related to Our Business and Strategy

We are at a pivotal point in the commercialization of the Platform, and we may not succeed for a variety of reasons.

Since our inception in 2014 until December 31, 2020, we incurred $327.9 million in research and development costs to develop our Platform. As of the date of this prospectus, we have five POC diagnostic tests developed and launched: our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test commercially available under an EUA and a CE Mark, which we recently introduced to the European and U.S. markets; our INR test commercially available under a CE Mark, which we recently introduced to the European market, our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test and our D-Dimer test, all of which are CE Marked. We also received EUAs for our molecular lab reagent kits, LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR and LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR Complete, and we recently commenced sales.

We have engaged in a large, broad-scale launch of our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test and we are relying on such test to create brand awareness and a revenue base to support our cost infrastructure as well as to create an installed base of our Instrument.

We have limited commercial experience with our Platform, and our launch of tests, including our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, which has been launched in Europe and the U.S., or launch of additional tests may be delayed, be less successful than we anticipate, or fail for any of the reasons that large commercial launches are ultimately unsuccessful. For example:

•

Our tests, produced at large scale, might not perform to standards that we have experienced to date. We therefore may not obtain or maintain regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance for some of our diagnostic tests in research and development, which may have a significant impact on the commercialization of our Platform.

•

We have a number of diagnostic tests in our near-term pipeline. We may not receive relevant regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance for some or all of these in a timely fashion, or at all, and this may impact significantly on the commercialization of the Platform.

•

Unexpected or inconsistent clinical data from existing and future clinical trials, or a regulator’s or the market’s perception of these clinical data when compared to our internal comparative data, may adversely impact our ability to obtain regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance for, or market acceptance of, our diagnostic tests.

•

We make our Instrument and test strips on sophisticated manufacturing systems, and these may not operate at large scale as anticipated.

•

We may have difficulty sourcing raw materials and components to make our Instrument and test strips in a timely fashion in necessary quantities, or these materials and components might not comply with our specifications, which are exacting.

•

We may not be able to supply our Platform through sales channels that are effective and efficient.

•

Potential users of our Platform might not accept our Platform as being better than those POC systems already available, at the prices we charge or at all.

•

Governmental and third-party payors might decline to cover our products or reimburse our users for the cost of our Instrument and test strips at favorable rates or at all.

•

We may not be able to scale-up and sustain operations to a level that allows our investments in technology, equipment, personnel and other resources to achieve sustainable and profitable commercial activities.

•

We have initiated voluntary recalls and field safety corrective actions related to suspected false positive results associated with a limited number of SARS-CoV-2 antigen test strip batches and may continue to feel the impact of such actions.

•

Our management, manufacturing, sales and marketing, logistics, research and development, regulatory and other personnel might not be able to sustain the high level of operations that we anticipate and that we will require to produce our anticipated revenue and allow us to operate profitably.

•

External factors, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or political or social instability or unrest in our principal markets, might adversely affect us in ways that we have not planned for.

Operations of the type and scope that we plan are subject to many uncertainties, and many that are undertaken are unsuccessful. We cannot be certain that we will be able to achieve our business objectives as described in this prospectus, and if our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our short-term revenue prospects will vary with the amount of demand for COVID-19 tests.

Our short-term revenue prospects will vary with the amount of demand for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test and SARS CoV-2 antibody test. As effective COVID-19 vaccines or treatments are developed, approved or authorized and rolled out to protect against and treat the virus, demand for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test and SARS CoV-2 antibody test may be impacted and the size of our market opportunity for such tests may be impacted. While we believe that our SARS-CoV-2 antigen, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test and SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests will remain in high demand as COVID-19 vaccines are rolled out and following such rollout to be used as a verification tool to test the efficacy of such vaccines in triggering an immune response, and to facilitate the reopening of the economy, the availability and efficacy of such vaccines or the mitigation of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier than expected for any other reason could negatively impact demand for our Platform and sales of our Instrument, test strips and other products. In addition, competitors may produce more accurate tests or tests which receive more favorable demand, both of which may impact our revenue streams and profitability.

New product development involves a lengthy and complex process and we may be unable to commercialize additional tests on our Platform on a timely basis, or at all.

The launch of our Platform may be delayed or may not be successful. There can be no assurance that our Platform will accurately and rapidly identify biomarkers associated with conditions and diseases of importance to our customers, including COVID-19, for a variety of technical reasons or that our Platform will compete with market alternatives or gain market acceptance. Our diagnostic tests which are in development will take time to develop and commercialize, if we are able to commercialize them at all.

Many other POC testing systems are designed for one or few related tests, increasing the odds of creating a successful test but decreasing the odds of developing a system with broad testing abilities. Our strategy involves designing a platform that is diverse and powerful enough to produce high-quality testing abilities for a broad array of tests. While we believe this strategy will result in an industry-leading standard for POC tests, it also creates a very high hurdle for success, which we may not ultimately clear.

Further, there can be no assurance that any new diagnostic tests we develop will have acceptable clinical performance. Before we can commercialize any new diagnostic tests, we will need to expend significant funds in order to:

•

conduct substantial research and development, including validation studies and potentially clinical trials;

•

further develop and scale our research and development efforts to accommodate different test strip designs or adjustments; and

•

further develop and scale our infrastructure to be able to analyze increasingly large amounts of data.

Our Platform development process involves a high degree of risk, and development efforts may fail for many reasons, including:

•

failure of the products to perform as expected at the research or development stage;

•

lack of validation data; or

•

failure to demonstrate the clinical utility of the products or pass clinical trials or obtain relevant regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance.

As we develop our Platform and our diagnostic tests, we will have to make significant investments in product development, marketing and selling resources. In addition, competitors may develop and commercialize competing products faster than we are able to do so.

Our Amira System may not obtain regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance, and we may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize our Amira System, including scaling up manufacturing and sales capacity.

We have started adjusting our high performing SARS-CoV-2 antigen test for mass screening applications with our Amira System, which is based upon our Platform and our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test. Our Amira System is still under development, which we may not be able to complete successfully. We currently have a prototype Amira system including strips, device and patient mobile device application. We expect to move to design freeze at system level shortly. We are simultaneously tooling up high volume manufacturing lines, for the strip and instrument, while we progress through design freeze and the verification and validation (V&V) phase. Even if successfully developed, our Amira System will require regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance prior to commercialization. In addition, we may need to seek regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance for specific or limited use cases based on our commercialization plans and then seek separate approval, authorization, certification or clearance over time for other settings, such as home-use settings. For example, we submitted a pre-EUA request to FDA and expect to achieve CE Mark for POC and over-the-counter applications in the first half of 2021. We plan to start clinical testing of our Amira System in the near future, but we may not receive positive clinical data or we may need to perform additional clinical testing to obtain regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance for our Amira System. Revenues related to the Amira System depend on development of mass screening opportunities and continued need for COVID-19 testing in reopening economies.

We expect to continue to devote significant operational and financial resources to the development and commercialization of our Amira System to meet expected demand for mass screening applications, including at

schools, airports, universities, for return-to-work screening and over time for testing in the home. Our ability to produce the planned volume of Amira COVID-19 tests will be dependent on our ability, and the ability of our contract manufacturers, to successfully and rapidly scale up manufacturing and sales capacities. These efforts may divert management’s attention and resources from other diagnostic tests, including our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test and our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test, available on our Platform. We may encounter significant difficulties in our efforts to scale, manufacture and supply our Amira System and we cannot guarantee that any of these challenges will be met in a timely manner or at all.

We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue from our Platform to achieve and maintain profitability.

We believe our commercial success is dependent upon our ability to successfully market and sell our Platform to customers, including large healthcare systems, government organizations, national pharmacy chains and community-based healthcare settings, to launch and commercialize our Instrument and diagnostic tests, including those for COVID-19, to continue to expand our current relationships and develop new relationships with diagnostic companies, and to develop and commercialize new POC diagnostic tests. We are scaling our operations assuming a rapid uptake of our Instrument and our SARS-CoV-2 antigen and SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests, but the demand for our Platform may not increase for a number of reasons, including due to the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, or unsuccessful execution of our strategy designed to meet the increased demand for COVID-19 tests, or otherwise. If we do not obtain an EUA for our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test, or if we are unsuccessful in the commercialization of our SARS-CoV-2 antigen and antibody tests, then we will need significant financial resources to maintain our operations. We have experienced early revenue growth from the sale of our Platform to healthcare professionals, principally for SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests, INR tests and from the sale of third-party distribution products and our anticoagulation management programs. We may not be able to continue revenue growth or maintain existing revenue levels.

Our existing customers and collaborators may decide to decrease or discontinue their use of our Platform due to changes in research and product development plans, changes in the occurrence of certain diseases, such as COVID-19, failures in clinical trials, financial constraints, or utilization of internal testing resources or tests performed by other parties, which are circumstances outside of our control. In addition to reducing our revenue, this may reduce our exposure to early stage research that facilitates the incorporation of newly-developed information about various tests into our Platform.

We are currently not profitable. Even if we succeed in increasing the adoption of our Platform by large healthcare systems, government organizations, national pharmacy chains and community-based healthcare settings, maintaining and creating relationships with our existing and new customers and collaborators and developing and commercializing additional POC diagnostic tests, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability.

Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have and may continue to seriously harm our business and increase our costs and expenses.

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been rapidly evolving in many countries, including the U.K. where our main research, development and manufacturing operations are located, as well as in other countries, and has led to the implementation of various responses, including government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions, business and school closures and other public health safety measures. These responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted and may continue to materially and adversely impact our business and results of operations due to, among other factors:

•

a potential for delays in launches of our non-COVID-19 diagnostic tests given reduced and limited access to clinical trial sites for our other tests and social distancing and other measures that restrict ability to work on such tests;

•

a delay in regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance by FDA, and other applicable regulators to some of our diagnostic assays in development, if such regulators focus their resources on and give priority to COVID-19 testing and treatments or to a specific form of COVID-19 testing that is different than our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test or other tests;

•

a disproportionate impact on the healthcare groups and other healthcare professionals with whom we contract;

•

supply shortages for materials used to manufacture our COVID-19 products, including of swabs and extraction buffers necessary for use with our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test;

•

disruptions to our supply chains and sales and marketing efforts due to restrictions on courier delivery services and other transportation systems;

•

disruptions to operations at our current and future manufacturing systems and facilities and those of our third-party vendors, collaborators, and suppliers;

•

difficulty accessing the capital and credit markets on favorable terms, or at all, a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets, and deteriorations in credit and financing conditions which could affect our access to capital necessary to fund our existing and scaled business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis;

•

the potential negative impact on the health or productivity of employees, especially if a significant number of them are impacted;

•

a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption; and

•

social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the third parties with whom we engage operate.

This pandemic, as well as intensified measures undertaken to contain the spread of COVID-19, could decrease healthcare industry spending; adversely affect demand for our Platform; cause one or more of our customers to file for bankruptcy protection or go out of business; cause one or more of our customers to fail to renew, terminate, or renegotiate their contracts; affect the ability of our business development team to travel worldwide to potential customers and the ability of our professional services teams to conduct in-person services and trainings; impact expected spending from new customers; negatively impact collections of accounts receivable; lead to the closure of our existing or future manufacturing facilities or any of our other production, research and/or distribution facilities; and restrict the movement of people and goods, which could negatively impact employee availability (particularly, in respect of our R&D and sales and marketing teams), any of which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, while we have taken remote work, group isolation and other measures to prevent an outbreak among our employees, further waves of the COVID-19 pandemic could further disrupt our operations as the success of the measures we have implemented is uncertain.

The loss of any member of our senior management team or our inability to attract and retain highly skilled scientists, engineers, clinicians and salespeople could adversely affect our business.

Our success depends on the skills, experience and performance of key members of our senior management team, including Ron Zwanziger, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dave Scott Ph.D., our Chief Technology Officer and Jerry McAleer, Ph.D., our Chief Scientist. The individual and collective efforts of these employees will be essential as we continue to develop our Platform and additional products, and as we expand our commercial activities. The loss or incapacity of existing members of our executive management team or key scientists and engineers could adversely affect our operations, particularly if we experience difficulties hiring qualified successors. We do not have any employment agreements (other than brief at-will offer letters) or non-compete agreements with our co-founders (i.e., Ron Zwanziger, Dave Scott and Jerry McAleer), and because of their knowledge of the industry and our operations, we believe the loss of any one of their services, or any of

them leaving and providing services to any of our competitors, could result in a disruption of our operations and/or put us at a competitive disadvantage, which will likely have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our R&D programs and manufacturing operations depend on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled scientists, technicians and engineers. We may not be able to attract or retain a sufficient number of qualified scientists, engineers and technicians in the future due to the competition for qualified personnel in our industry. We also face competition from universities and public and private research institutions in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel. We may also have difficulties locating, recruiting or retaining a sufficient number of qualified sales people to successfully scale up our sales and marketing efforts to meet expected demands. Recruiting and retention difficulties can limit our ability to support our R&D and sales and marketing programs. In addition, all of our employees in the United States are at-will, which means that either we or the employee may terminate their employment at any time. We also do not maintain “key person” insurance on any of our employees.

Our Platform may never achieve significant commercial market acceptance.

Our Platform may never gain significant acceptance in the marketplace and, therefore, may never generate substantial revenue or profits for us. Our ability to achieve commercial market acceptance for our Platform will depend on several factors, including:

•

our ability to demonstrate the clinical utility and cost effectiveness of our Platform and its potential advantages over existing POC systems, or for certain tests, over central lab counterparts, to the medical community;

•

our ability, and that of our collaborators, to secure and maintain FDA and other applicable regulatory clearance, authorization or approval for certain components of our Platform;

•

our ability to expand our test menu and provide a broad range of tests on our Platform while maintaining consistency and precision;

•

our ability to obtain relevant regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance for our diagnostic assays in development, particularly those in our near-term pipeline;

•

the agreement by commercial third-party payors and government payors to cover and to reimburse our Instrument and test strips, the scope and extent of which will affect healthcare providers’ willingness to pay for our Instrument and test strips and likely heavily influence their decisions to recommend use of our Platform;

•

the willingness of healthcare providers to use a POC system over central lab counterparts and the rate of adoption of our Platform by healthcare providers and other users; and

•

the impact of our investments in Platform innovation and commercial growth.

We believe that the successful completion of clinical trials, publication of scientific and medical results in peer-reviewed journals, and presentations at leading conferences will be important to facilitate the broad adoption of our Platform. Publication in leading medical journals is subject to a peer-review process, and peer reviewers may not consider the results of studies involving our Platform sufficiently novel or worthy of publication.

The failure of our Platform to be listed in physician guidelines or of our clinical trials to produce favorable results or to be published in peer-reviewed journals could limit the adoption of our Platform. We may not be successful in addressing these or other factors that might affect the market acceptance of our Platform and technologies. Failure to achieve widespread market acceptance of our Platform would materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A limited number of customers currently represent a substantial portion of our revenue. If we fail to retain these customers, our revenue could decline significantly.

We currently derive a substantial portion of our revenue from sales to certain key customers, including CVS in U.S. and NHS in the U.K. As a result, our revenue could fluctuate materially and could be materially and disproportionately impacted by purchasing decisions of these customers or any other significant future customers. Our agreements with CVS and NHS do not have minimum purchase requirements. Any of our significant customers may decide to purchase less than they have in the past, may alter their purchasing patterns at any time with limited notice, or may decide not to continue to use our Platform and test strips at all, any of which could cause our revenue to decline and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers or, in some cases, sole source suppliers, for the components of our Platform and materials and may not be able to find, or immediately transition to, alternative suppliers.

We rely on several sole source suppliers for certain components or accessories and materials used in our Instrument and our test strips, such as reagents. In addition, we currently rely solely on Flextronics Ltd, or Flex, as the sole manufacturer of our Instrument, with components and assemblies supplied by Flex and by outside vendors, and our facilities as the sole suppliers of our test strips.

In the case of any alternative supplier for our Instrument, the components of our Instrument or our test strips, there can be no assurance that replacement components or, with regards to the test strips, reagents, swabs or other accessories will be available or will meet our quality control and performance requirements for our operations. For example, in November 2020, there was a shortage of a component for use in our Instrument which significantly constrained the production and delivery of our Instrument to customers until we added an additional supplier. An interruption in our ability to develop and produce our Instrument or test strips could occur if we encounter delays or difficulties in securing components of our Instrument or our test strips, and if we cannot then obtain an acceptable substitute. Any changes in such materials could lead to required changes in regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance processes. If we encounter delays or difficulties in securing, reconfiguring or revalidating the equipment and reagents we require for our Platform, our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation could be adversely affected.

Because of a long lead-time to delivery of certain components of our manufacturing system and Platform, we are required to place orders for a variety of items well in advance of scheduled production runs. We have increased our flexibility to purchase strategic components within shorter lead times by entering into scale up arrangements with the suppliers of these components. Although we attempt to match our inventory and production capabilities to estimates of marketplace demand, to the extent Instrument and test strip orders materially vary from our estimates, we may experience continued constraints in our Platform production and delivery capacity, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Should our need for raw materials and components used in production continue to fluctuate, we could incur additional costs associated with either expediting or postponing delivery of those materials. In an effort to control costs, we have implemented a lean manufacturing system. Managing the change from discrete to continuous flow production requires time and management commitment. Lean initiatives and limitations in our supply chain capabilities may result in component shortages that delay shipments and cause fluctuations in revenue.

Further, we believe that there are a limited number of other equipment manufacturers that are currently capable of supplying and servicing the equipment necessary for the manufacturing of our Instrument and test strips. We have spent significant time and resources developing our manufacturing processes with our existing collaborators, and the use of equipment or materials furnished by these replacement suppliers would require us to significantly alter our operations. It could take a very long time to obtain a new manufacturing system for test strips if additional capacity were needed. Transitioning to a new supplier would therefore be time consuming and expensive, may result in interruptions or delays in our operations, could affect the performance specifications of our operations or could require that we revalidate our Platform and could require us to obtain additional

clearance, authorization, approval, accreditation or licensure for the changes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure alternative equipment, reagents, and other materials, and bring such equipment, reagents, and materials on line and revalidate them without experiencing interruptions in our workflow.

We may experience manufacturing problems or delays that could limit the growth of our revenue or increase our losses.

Our current and planned manufacturing operations are critical to our commercialization plans, and these operations may not be sufficient to withstand the demands we intend to place on them. Any disruption in the operation of any of our facilities or the facilities of our suppliers could impact our supply chain and operation of our Platform and our ability to conduct our business and generate revenue. We may encounter unforeseen situations that would result in delays or shortfalls in our production as well as delays or shortfalls caused by our outsourced manufacturing suppliers and by other third-party suppliers who manufacture components for our Platform, including delays caused by or constraints on capacity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. If we are unable to keep up with demand for our Platform, our revenue could be impaired, market acceptance for our Platform could be adversely affected and our customers might instead purchase our competitors’ products. Our inability to successfully manufacture the components of our Platform would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

If our or our suppliers’ or collaborators’ present or future facilities were to be damaged, destroyed or otherwise unable to operate, whether due to fire, floods, storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, other inclement weather events or natural disasters, employee malfeasance, terrorist acts, public health crises, power outages, or otherwise, it may render it difficult or impossible for us to increase our manufacturing and other operations sufficiently to meet increased demand, and our business could be severely disrupted. Our facilities and the equipment we use to manufacture our Platform would be costly to replace and could require substantial lead time to repair or replace.

As we continue to expand our business, we may experience problems in scaling our manufacturing and commercial operations, and if we are unable to support demand for our Platform, our Amira System and our future tests, including ensuring that we have adequate capacity to meet increased demand, or we are unable to successfully manage the evolution of our Platform or our Amira System, our business could suffer.

We currently do not have the capacity to support the projected expansion of our business. In connection with the commercialization of our Platform, we have added, and expect to continue to add, personnel in the areas of sales, marketing, manufacturing, regulatory, quality assurance, customer and technical service and other support functions. We also continue to scale our manufacturing, sales and marketing capabilities. As our volume grows, we will need to continue to increase our workflow capacity for sales, customer service, billing and general process improvements, expand our internal quality assurance program and to scale up our manufacturing systems for our Platform quickly. We will need additional sales, scientific and technical personnel to market our Platform and our Amira System and follow up on any reported quality issues. Our Amira System is focused on mass screening opportunities and over-the-counter (OTC) sales and marketing channels for professional and OTC vary significantly and may require additional support. We will also need to secure additional facilities, purchase additional equipment, some of which can take several months or more to procure, setup, and validate, and to significantly and rapidly increase our capacity to meet increased demand. There is no assurance that any of these increases in scale, expansion of personnel, equipment, software and computing capacities, or process enhancements will be successfully implemented on a timely basis, or at all, or that we will have adequate space in our facilities to accommodate such required expansion. Even if these and other measures are implemented successfully, we still expect to experience continued capacity constraints as we commercialize our products.

As additional diagnostic products are commercialized and new tests are developed, we may need to implement adjustments to our Platform and our processes and hire new personnel with different qualifications. Failure to manage this growth or transition could result in delays in the development of new test strips, higher product costs, declining product quality, deteriorating customer service, and slower responses to competitive

challenges. A failure in any one of these areas could make it difficult for us to meet market expectations for our Platform and our Amira System and could damage our reputation and the prospects for our business.

If any of our facilities were damaged or destroyed, or if we experience a significant disruption in the expansion of our operations for any reason, our ability to continue to operate our business and meet increased demand could be materially harmed.

As we expand our capacity, we believe it may be necessary to both expand our existing facilities and to add one or more new facilities to meet anticipated demand. We are also in the process of scaling our manufacturing facilities and adding warehouse and office space, which are expected to continue to be rolled out in the next few years, with necessary adjustments based on market needs. Failure to complete, or timely complete, these expansion projects on time or at all, may significantly delay our workflows and operations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, our financial condition may be adversely affected if we are unable to complete these expansion projects on budget and otherwise on terms and conditions acceptable to us. Finally, our financial condition will be adversely affected if demand for our Platform does not materialize in line with our current expectations and if, as a result, we end up building excess capacity that does not yield a reasonable return on our investment.

We are devoting significant resources for the scale-up and development of our COVID-19 Tests.

We are working toward the large-scale technical development and manufacturing scale-up in several countries and larger scale deployment of our COVID-19 tests, including our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, SARS-CoV-2 antibody test, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test, SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR and SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR Complete molecular test kit, and our Amira System, and currently do not have the manufacturing, marketing or sales capacity to meet the expected demand for such tests. The number of potential tests that we are able to produce and bring to market is dependent on our ability, and the ability of our contract manufacturers, to successfully and rapidly scale up manufacturing capacity and our ability to scale up our marketing and sales capacities. To support these scale-ups, we will need to expend significant resources and capital quickly, and we therefore expect to divert resources and capital from our other non-COVID-19 diagnostic tests. Our ability to produce and successfully bring to market our COVID-19 tests will also depend on our ability to further scale up on our manufacturing, sales and marketing capacities.

We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, contractual arrangements with customers, suppliers, distributors, manufacturers or other collaborators that contain restrictions or minimum commitments which limit our ability to develop, manufacture, supply, commercialize and distribute our COVID-19 tests. For example, we entered into a purchase agreement with CVS pursuant to which we committed to make available to CVS a minimum monthly quantity of our Instrument and SARS-CoV-2 antigen test strips, as well as ancillary equipment such as collection supplies necessary to administer the SARS-CoV-2 antigen and antibody tests. Our initial minimum monthly commitment to CVS was a significant portion of our supply through to the end of 2020. We are not obligated to, but we may, subject to availability, make additional quantities of our Instrument and SARS-CoV-2 antigen test strips available to CVS to purchase, but unless CVS places purchase orders in a timely fashion, we are not required to hold such additional quantities available for purchase by CVS. If we fail to meet contractual obligations under our agreements or if we enter into agreements that restrict our ability to develop, manufacture, supply, commercialize and distribute our COVID-19 tests, we may be required to pay damages to the counterparty or contest disagreements or disputes, which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.

Given the rapidity of both the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and our commercialization efforts with respect to our COVID-19 tests, as well as the complexity of the economics of a diagnostic test for a pandemic, we are still in the early stages of considering how to develop our pricing strategy for these tests and cannot provide assurance as to the ultimate impact of each COVID-19 test on our financial condition and results of operations. Focus on such COVID-19 tests could have the lasting impacts of significant diversions of resources

and attention away from the development of other non-COVID-19 diagnostic tests; our ability to rapidly pivot research, development and commercialization back to other areas of focus; and lost time associated with addressing the demand for our COVID-19 tests.

We are continuously updating and improving our Platform based on the needs of various tests, and this may impact changes, such as upgrades or new versions of our Instrument.

Our Platform is continuously evolving and will continue to do so as more tests are added to our Platform. A specific test may require specific test strip or design changes which could also impact Instrument set up. In addition, we are continuously improving our Instrument and have a pipeline of upgrades to make the Instrument more robust and further lower the costs over time. This may require regular updates to our Instrument, including software upgrades and in certain cases the need to swap out the Instrument for an updated version. Despite our rigorous testing and quality assurance processes, it is possible that our Instrument may prove to operate less reliably than we anticipated or degrade in efficacy over time. If this occurs, this may likewise necessitate updates to our design or software or replacement of Instruments, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and/or reputation. The replacement of an Instrument may require sales and customer support and may lead to older versions of our Platform being obsolete and impact our financials. The need for an upgrade to an Instrument may impact the commercialization of certain diagnostic assays which require an upgraded Instrument.

Our current tests or any tests that we develop to cover additional menu or diagnostic testing may not be successfully developed or commercialized or gain the acceptance of the public or the medical community.

We plan to implement a broad range of tests on our Platform over time. Each test requires a significant amount of R&D and comes with its own technical challenges. In addition, we aim for all tests to provide lab-comparable results based on comparison against the lab standard reference for such test, where such lab reference is available. In light of the technical and complicated nature of some test strips, R&D timelines may be delayed and lab-comparable results or expected performance criteria may not be met. This may affect our ability to launch or commercialize our tests and could have an adverse impact on our financial results. While we have encouraging internal data for many diagnostic tests, we have not yet performed multi-site, external clinical analyses of most of these tests or otherwise compared these results against clinical results.

Sensitivity and specificity concerns with respect to COVID-19 tests generally could negatively affect demand for our Platform and therefore our business, revenues and profits. Similar concerns about our collaborators, though unrelated to us, could likewise create negative publicity, which could negatively impact demand for our Platform or harm our reputation. These concerns could be wrongly attributed to our tests and could negatively affect sales of our Instrument. Additionally, concerns about COVID-19 tests generally could adversely affect our business as the general public may associate our SARS-CoV-2 antigen, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test and SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests with them. In addition, the medical community is continuously learning and publishing scientific literature about COVID-19 and the success of our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test and SARS-CoV-2 antibody test will depend, in part, on the ability of the tests to detect the virus (or antibodies) and on acceptance of the test results by the public and medical community. If any of our tests or those of other parties developing similar products receive negative or unfavorable publicity, or the medical community publishes information criticizing the accuracy, effectiveness or utility of COVID-19 tests, whether or not ours, it could result in a decrease in demand for any product that we may develop. In addition, responses by the U.S. federal, state or foreign governments to negative public perception or ethical concerns related to COVID-19 tests may result in new legislation or regulations that could limit our ability to develop or commercialize any product, obtain or maintain regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance, if applicable, identify alternate regulatory pathways to market or otherwise achieve profitability. More restrictive statutory regimes, government regulations or negative public opinion would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and may delay or impair the development and commercialization of our products or demand for any products we may commercialize.

We have limited data on the performance of our Platform to date and limited experience in marketing and selling our Platform, and if we are unable to expand our direct sales and marketing force to adequately address our customers’ needs, our business may be adversely affected.

We have limited data on the performance of our Platform to date and limited experience in marketing and selling our Platform, which had its formal commercial launch in Europe in 2019 with our INR test. We do not currently have, and may not be successful in developing, the capacity to market, sell, or distribute our Platform or other products we may develop effectively or in volumes high enough to support our planned growth.

We currently and will continue to sell our Platform on a region or country specific basis across our footprint in Europe, the U.S., South America, Africa and Asia using a combination of direct sale or sales or through our distributors. Our future sales will depend in large part on our ability to develop and substantially expand our sales force and to significantly increase the scope of our marketing efforts. Our target market of identifying customers in healthcare systems, government organizations, national pharmacy chains and community-based healthcare settings is a large and diverse market. As a result, we believe it is necessary to develop a large sales force that includes sales representatives with a variety of specific technical backgrounds. We will also need to attract and develop a significant amount of marketing personnel with industry expertise. Competition for such employees is intense. We may not be able to attract and retain personnel or be able to build an efficient and effective sales and marketing force, which could negatively impact sales and market acceptance of our products and limit our revenue growth and potential profitability.

Our expected future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain, and integrate additional employees. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our products and to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage this potential future growth effectively, without compromising quality.

We also enlist distributors, and we may potentially enlist local collaborators, to assist with sales, distribution, and customer support. Locating, qualifying, and engaging a significant number of distribution collaborators with local industry experience and knowledge will be necessary to effectively market and sell our products. We may not be successful in finding, attracting, and retaining a sufficient number of distributors or other collaborators or we may not be able to enter into such arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. Our sales in low and middle income countries also depend on support from our global health partners, such as BMGF and from national governments. Developing such relationships may require significant resources, time and management attention and could adversely affect our ability to make sales.

Sales practices utilized by our distributors that are locally acceptable may not comply with sales practices standards required under the laws of the U.K., U.S. or other jurisdictions that apply to us, which could create additional compliance costs and risk and demand additional resources, time and management attention. If our sales and marketing efforts are not successful, we may not achieve significant market acceptance for our products, which would materially and adversely impact our business and anticipated financial condition and results of operations.

If we cannot compete successfully with our competitors, we may be unable to increase or sustain our revenue or achieve and sustain profitability.

The diagnostics industry, including IVD and POC systems, is rapidly evolving, and we face competition from companies that offer products in our targeted application areas. Our principal competition comes from established diagnostic companies. Our competitors include laboratory or POC companies such as Abbott Laboratories, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Danaher Corporation, GenMark Diagnostics, Inc., Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, Quidel Corporation, Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Siemens Healthineers AG, Inc. and many others. In addition to diagnostic systems, we believe these companies may also develop their own approved or cleared diagnostic kits, which can be sold to the clients who

have purchased their systems. In addition, new and existing companies could seek to develop tests that compete with ours.

For each of our five available tests, we face competition from other commercially available tests, including:

•

For our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test and SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test: Quidel Sofia, BD Veritor Plus System, Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card, general lateral flow tests and others.

•

For our SARS CoV-2 antibody test: Roche Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2, Accelerate Diagnostics BioCheck SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Test Kits, SD Biosensor Q COVID-19 IgM/IgG Rapid Test and others.

•

For our INR test: Roche Coaguchek and others.

•

For our D-Dimer test: Roche Cobas h232 and others.

Our tests in development are designed and validated against their respective lab standard.

Many of our current and future competitors are either publicly traded, or are divisions of publicly-traded companies, and may enjoy a number of competitive technological, financial and market access advantages over us, including:

•

greater name and brand recognition;

•

substantially greater financial and human resources and expertise;

•

broader or superior product lines;

•

larger sales forces and more established distributor networks;

•

substantial intellectual property portfolios;

•

larger and more established customer bases, relationships with healthcare professionals and third-party payors; and

•

better established, larger scale, and lower cost manufacturing capabilities.

We believe that the principal competitive factors in all of our target markets include:

•

cost of instruments and consumables;

•

flexibility and ease of use;

•

time to result;

•

accuracy, including sensitivity and specificity, and reproducibility of results;

•

reputation among customers;

•

innovation in product offerings; and

•

compatibility with existing processes.

Furthermore, even if we do develop new marketable products or services, our current and future competitors may develop products and services that are more commercially attractive than ours, and they may bring those products and services to market earlier or more effectively than us. If we are unable to compete successfully against current or future competitors, we may be unable to increase market acceptance for and sales of our Platform, which could prevent us from increasing or sustaining our revenues or achieving sustained profitability. Our competitors may also use their patent portfolios, developed in connection with developing their tests, to allege that our Platform infringes their patents, and we could face litigation with respect to such allegations and the validity of such patents.

The diagnostic industry is subject to rapidly changing technology which could make our Platform and other products we develop obsolete.

Our industry is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards, all of which could make our Platform and the other products we are developing obsolete. Our future success will depend on our ability to anticipate and keep pace with the evolving needs of our customers on a timely and cost-effective basis and to pursue new market opportunities that develop as a result of technological and scientific advances. The attractiveness of our Platform partly depends on the ability to continue to add additional assays and tests in a timely manner. Failure to deliver such tests in the timelines suggested may affect our business plan and ability to obtain greater market penetration, or otherwise cause us to lose market share.

In recent years, there have been advances in methods used to analyze very large amounts of information. We must continuously enhance our Platform and develop new products to keep pace with evolving standards of care. If we do not update our Platform, including successfully developing new tests for our Instrument, such as multiplex test strips with the ability to detect an increased number of markers in a single sample, it could become obsolete and sales of our Platform and any new products could decline, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business and reputation will suffer if our Platform does not perform as expected, particularly as test strip volume increases, or we are unable to establish and comply with stringent quality standards to assure that the highest level of quality is observed in the performance of our Platform.

Inherent risks are involved in providing and marketing diagnostic tests and related services. Our success depends on the market’s confidence that we can provide reliable, high-quality diagnostic products and information that may be used to make critical healthcare decisions. There is no guarantee that the accuracy and reproducibility we have demonstrated to date will continue as our volume of test strips increases or as we commercialize additional tests. We believe that our customers are likely to be particularly sensitive to product defects and errors, including if our products fail to detect certain diseases with high accuracy from clinical specimens. As a result, the failure of our Platform to perform as expected would significantly impair our operating results and our reputation. We may be subject to legal claims arising from any defects or errors.

We must maintain top service standards and government-mandated and other quality controls. Past or future performance or accuracy defects, incomplete or improper process controls, or mishandling of samples or test strips due to inadequate training can lead to incorrect diagnostic results and potentially result in adverse outcomes for patients. These events could lead to voluntary or legally mandated safety alerts relating to our Platform or our facilities and could result in the removal of our Platform from the market. Insufficient quality controls and any resulting negative outcomes could result in significant costs and litigation, as well as negative publicity that could reduce demand for our Platform and payors’ willingness to cover our Platform. Even if we maintain adequate controls and procedures, damaging and costly errors may occur.

If we cannot maintain our current relationships, or enter into new relationships, with diagnostics or research and development companies, or if our collaborators do not perform as expected, our product development could be delayed.

We rely on research and development collaborators to research and develop certain tests for our Platform. We have existing research and development agreements with well-established companies in each of respiratory, infectious, and enteric disease areas. The inability of these companies to deliver on research and development projects or our inability to use or have sufficient access to required reagents derived from such projects could have an adverse effect on our ability to launch additional tests and thus on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our success in the future depends in part on our ability to maintain these relationships and to enter into new relationships. This can be difficult due to several factors, including internal and external constraints placed on these organizations that can limit the number and type of relationships with companies such as ours that can be considered and consummated. In addition, collaboration, manufacturing and supply agreements can be complex and contain certain provisions that may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any interpretation disagreement that may arise could be adverse to us, for example, by increasing our royalties payable to third parties, by narrowing what we believe to be the scope of our rights to certain intellectual property, or increasing what we believe to be our financial or other obligations under these agreements, and any such outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. In addition, we expect that we will have capacity constraints on demand for our COVID-19 tests, and we will need to make decisions regarding allocation of supply of such tests, which could have an adverse effect on new or existing relationships with third parties and governments.

We are currently engaged, and expect to continue to engage, in discussions with companies regarding commercial opportunities, particularly in light of our ongoing and planned rapid scale-up in response to the demand for COVID-19 testing. There is no assurance that any of these discussions will result in commercial agreements, or if an agreement is reached, that the resulting engagement will be successful and that such companies will perform as expected or that clinical, sales and marketing activities conducted as part of the engagement will produce successful outcomes.

Additionally, speculation in the industry about our existing or potential engagements with life science companies may be a catalyst for adverse speculation about us, our products, and our technology, which may result in harm to our reputation and our business.

We may acquire other businesses or form joint ventures or make investments in other companies or technologies that could negatively affect our operating results, dilute our shareholders’ ownership, increase our debt or cause us to incur significant expense.

We may pursue acquisitions of businesses and assets as well as strategic alliances and joint ventures that leverage our Platform and industry experience to expand our offerings or distribution. If we make any acquisitions, we may not be able to integrate these acquisitions successfully into our existing business, and we could assume unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future acquisitions also could result in the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or future write-offs of intangible assets or goodwill, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Integration of an acquired company also may disrupt ongoing operations and require management resources that we would otherwise focus on developing our existing business. We may experience losses related to investments in other companies, which could have a material negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, technology license, strategic alliance, or joint venture.

To finance any acquisitions or joint ventures, we may choose to issue our LMDX common shares as consideration, which would dilute the ownership of our shareholders. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. If the price of our LMDX common shares is low or volatile, we may not be able to acquire other companies or fund a joint venture project using our stock as consideration.

International expansion of our business exposes us to business, regulatory, political, operational, financial and economic risks outside of Europe.

In addition to the various direct sales units that have already been established in Europe, South Africa, Japan, the U.S. and Latin America, we are planning to both continue to grow direct sales operations as well as extend distribution agreements for our Instrument and test strips in various countries. In addition, in Africa, we plan to continue to collaborate with non-governmental organizations, such as BMGF, to build programs that utilize our Platform to improve patient outcomes across multiple countries on the African continent. We plan to maintain sales

representatives and distributor relationships, to conduct healthcare provider and patient association outreach activities, to extend research and development capabilities and to expand payor relationships outside of Europe. Doing business internationally involves a number of risks, including:

•

multiple, conflicting and changing laws and regulations such as privacy regulations, tax laws, economic sanctions, export and import restrictions, employment laws, regulatory requirements, and other governmental approvals, permits, and licenses;

•

potential competition from existing or future local and regional product offerings;

•

difficulties in complying with a multitude of product regulations in various jurisdictions, including evolving regulatory pathways in response to the COVID-19 pandemic;

•

failure by us or our distributors to obtain regulatory approvals, authorizations or clearance for the use of our products in various countries;

•

additional potentially relevant third-party patent rights;

•

complexities and difficulties in obtaining protection and enforcing our intellectual property;

•

difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

•

complexities associated with managing multiple payor reimbursement regimes, government payors, or patient self-pay systems;

•

our dependence on cooperation and donor funding of local aid sources and private foundations, particularly in developing regions such as Africa, as well as cooperation from national healthcare programs and governments;

•

logistics and regulations associated with shipping samples, including infrastructure conditions and transportation delays;

•

limits in our ability to penetrate international markets if we are not able to conduct our tests locally;

•

financial risks, such as longer payment cycles, difficulty collecting accounts receivable, the impact of local and regional financial crises on demand and payment for our products, and exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•

the risk that regional or local distributors may not commit the necessary resources to market and sell our products to the level of our expectations or may choose to favor marketing the products of our regional or local competitors;

•

natural disasters, political and economic instability, including wars, terrorism, and political and civil unrest, outbreak of disease, boycotts, curtailment of trade, and other business restrictions; and

•

regulatory and compliance risks that relate to maintaining accurate information and control over sales and distributors’ activities that may fall within the purview of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or FCPA, or its books and records or anti-bribery provisions, or similar anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws or regulations in other jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom’s Bribery Act 2010.

Any of these factors could significantly harm our future international expansion and operations and, consequently, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our commercial success in Africa will be dependent on continued donor funding of healthcare initiatives in Africa from a wide variety of sources such as the African Medical Supplies Platform (AMSP), Partnership for Supply Chain Management (PSCM), The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children Fund, Médecins Sans Frontières and private foundations such as BMGF, the Clinton Health Access Initiative and the Rockefeller Foundation. Our ability to work

collaboratively with these funders and with national healthcare programs will be important to our success in utilizing our Platform to help transform primary care delivery in Africa and improve patient outcomes and delays in such efforts may impact the roll out of these programs, as a lot of parties are involved and we do not control operations of such complex entities.

If we were sued for product liability or professional liability, we could face substantial liabilities that exceed our resources.

The marketing, sale and use of our products could lead to the filing of product liability claims were someone to allege that our Platform or other products identified inaccurate or incomplete information or otherwise failed to perform as designed. We may also be subject to liability for errors in, a misunderstanding of, or inappropriate reliance upon, the information we provide in the ordinary course of our business activities. A product liability or professional liability claim could result in substantial damages and be costly and time-consuming for us to defend.

We maintain product and professional liability insurance, but this insurance may not fully protect us from the financial impact of defending against, settling, or paying damages in respect of product liability or professional liability claims and such policies will be subject to limitations and exclusions. Any product liability or professional liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could increase our insurance rates or prevent us from securing insurance coverage in the future. Additionally, any product liability lawsuit could damage our reputation, cause current customers to terminate existing agreements, or cause potential customers to seek other suppliers, any of which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to, and may in the future become subject to, claims and litigation that could result in significant expenses and could ultimately result in unfavorable outcomes for us.

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation and other proceedings, including matters related to product liability claims, commercial disputes and intellectual property claims, as well as regulatory, employment, and other claims related to our business. For example, a former employee brought an age discrimination claim against us in Massachusetts, which we believe has no factual or legal merit, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the claim. The case was dismissed and an appeal is pending. Litigation related to our company, our business, and our operations or financial performance may also involve customers, competitors, suppliers, patients, shareholders, governmental authorities or other third parties, including potential whistleblower claims and other employee-related claims. Our Amira System may be marketed OTC and could thus bring consumer liability claims with it. Litigation can be lengthy, expensive and disruptive to our operations, and results cannot be predicted with certainty. An adverse decision could result in significant settlement amounts, monetary damages, fines or injunctive relief that could affect our financial condition or results of operations. Even if lawsuits do not result in an unfavorable outcome, the costs of defending or prosecuting such lawsuits may be material to our business and our operations. Moreover, these lawsuits may divert management’s attention from the operation of our business, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our employees, principal investigators, consultants, and collaborators may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including non-compliance with regulatory standards and requirements, and insider trading.

We are exposed to the risk of fraud or other misconduct by our employees, principal investigators, consultants, and collaborators. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional failures to comply with the regulations of FDA and other applicable regulators, comply with healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations in the U.K., United States and abroad, report financial information or data inaccurately, or fail to disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketing, and business arrangements in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing, and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting,

marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs, and other business arrangements. Such misconduct could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical studies, which could result in regulatory sanctions and cause serious harm to our reputation. We currently have a code of conduct applicable to all of our employees, but it is not always possible to identify and deter employee misconduct, and our code of conduct and anti-bribery policies and the other precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses, or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations, particularly as we seek to rapidly expand our business on a global scale. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could result in the imposition of significant fines or other sanctions, which could have a significant impact on our business. Whether or not we are successful in defending against such actions or investigations, we could incur substantial costs, including legal fees, and divert the attention of management in defending ourselves against any of these claims or investigations.

We depend on our information technology systems, and any failure of these systems could harm our business.

We depend on information technology and telecommunications systems for significant elements of our operations, including all connectivity solutions associated with our Platform, our research and development data and quality management system, our knowledge and inventory management system, our factory controls, our customer provisioning and analytics reporting and our patient care database management. We have installed, and expect to expand, a number of enterprise software systems that affect a broad range of business processes and functional areas, including for example, systems handling human resources, financial controls and reporting, contract management, regulatory compliance, and other infrastructure operations. In addition to the aforementioned business systems, we intend to extend the capabilities of both our preventative and detective security controls by augmenting the monitoring and alerting functions, the network design, and the automatic countermeasure operations of our technical systems. These information technology and telecommunications systems support a variety of functions, including operations, test validation, sample processing, quality control, customer service support, research and development activities, scientific and medical curation, and general administrative activities. In addition, our third-party billing and collections provider depends upon technology and telecommunications systems provided by outside vendors.

Information technology and telecommunications systems are vulnerable to damage from a variety of sources, including telecommunications or network failures, malicious human acts and natural disasters. Moreover, despite network security and back-up measures, some of our servers are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, and similar disruptive problems. Despite the precautionary measures we have taken to prevent unanticipated problems that could affect our information technology and telecommunications systems, failures or significant downtime of our information technology or telecommunications systems or those used by our third-party service providers could prevent our Platform from functioning properly and conducting analyses or prevent us from preparing and providing reports, conducting research and development activities, and managing the administrative aspects of our business. Any disruption or loss of information technology or telecommunications systems on which critical aspects of our operations depend could have an adverse effect on our business.

Security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business or prevent us from accessing critical information and expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.

In the ordinary course of our business, we may collect and store sensitive data, including legally protected health information, personal information, intellectual property and proprietary business information owned or controlled by ourselves or our customers, payors, and collaborators. We manage and maintain our applications and data utilizing a combination of on-site systems, managed data center systems, and cloud-based data center

systems. We may communicate sensitive patient data to customers through our Platform. These applications and data encompass a wide variety of business-critical information and regulated information including research and development information, commercial information, and business and financial information. We face risks relative to protecting this critical information, including: loss of access risk; inappropriate disclosure risk; inappropriate modification risk; and the risk of our being unable to adequately monitor our controls over the first three risks.

The secure processing, storage, maintenance, and transmission of this critical information is vital to our operations and business strategy, and we devote significant resources to protecting such information. Although we take measures to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure, our information technology and infrastructure, and that of our third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or viruses or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions. Any such breach or interruption could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed by unauthorized parties, publicly disclosed, lost, or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, such as the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, as amended, and its implementing regulations, and regulatory penalties. Although we have implemented commercially reasonable security measures and a formal, dedicated enterprise security program to prevent unauthorized access to patient data, our Platform gives broad access to physicians, where the physicians control any other access to the Platform, and there is no guarantee we can continue to protect our online portal and mobile application from breach. Further, as we develop products and features that may be used or accessed outside of the traditional healthcare setting, there will be additional challenges to protecting the security of information and systems. Unauthorized access, loss or dissemination could also disrupt our operations, including our Platform’s ability to conduct analyses and provide test results and our ability to provide customer assistance services, conduct research and development activities, collect, process, and prepare company financial information, provide information about our products and other patient and healthcare provider education and outreach efforts through our website or otherwise, or to manage the administrative aspects of our business, and may damage our reputation, any of which could adversely affect our business.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office, or HHS, of Civil Rights may impose significant penalties on a covered entity or a business associate for a failure to comply with a requirement of HIPAA. Penalties will vary significantly depending on a variety of factors such as the date of the violation or whether the failure to comply was known or should have been known, or whether failure to comply was due to willful neglect. Additionally, a person who knowingly obtains or discloses individually identifiable health information in violation of HIPAA may face a criminal penalty and imprisonment. The U.S. Department of Justice is responsible for criminal prosecutions under HIPAA. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts may award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of protected health information. Furthermore, in the event of a breach as defined by HIPAA, we may be required to comply with specific reporting requirements under the HIPAA regulations, which may include notification to the general public, depending on the scale of the breach.

In addition, the interpretation and application of consumer, health-related, and data protection laws in the United States, Europe and elsewhere are often uncertain, contradictory, and in flux. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our practices. If so, this could result in government-imposed fines or orders requiring that we change our practices, which could adversely affect our business or reputation. In addition, these privacy regulations may differ from country to country, and may vary based on whether testing is performed in the United States or in the local country. Complying with these various laws could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices and compliance procedures in a manner adverse to our business.

Economic or business instability may have a negative impact on our business.

Continuing concerns over the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, health care reform legislation, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, and government stimulus programs in the United States and other countries have contributed to volatility for the global economy. If the economic climate does not improve, our business, including our access to patient samples and the addressable market for diagnostic tests that we may successfully develop, as well as the financial condition of our suppliers and our commercial third-party payors, could be adversely affected, resulting in a negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, the instability has resulted in diminished liquidity and credit availability in the market, which could impair our ability to access capital if required or adversely affect our operations. In the event of further economic slowdown, investment in research and development may also experience a further corresponding slowdown.

If we fail to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs that could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business.

We are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures and the handling, use, storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes. Our operations involve the use of hazardous and flammable materials, including chemicals and biological materials. Our operations also produce hazardous waste products. We generally contract with third parties for the disposal of these materials and wastes. We cannot eliminate the risk of contamination or injury from these materials. In the event of contamination or injury resulting from our use of hazardous materials, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our resources. We also could incur significant costs associated with civil or criminal fines and penalties. Although we maintain workers’ compensation insurance to cover us for costs and expenses we may incur due to injuries to our employees resulting from the use of hazardous materials, this insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities. We do not maintain insurance for environmental liability or toxic tort claims that may be asserted against us in connection with our storage or disposal of biological, hazardous or radioactive materials.

Our borrowing arrangements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.

In March 2021, LumiraDx Investment Limited, one of our subsidiaries, entered into a senior secured term loan, as amended from time to time referred to herein as the Senior Secured Loan, with BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP and BPCR Limited Partnership, as lenders and BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent, or collectively, Pharmakon. We have borrowed $300 million under the Senior Secured Loan, part of which was used to prepay the senior secured term loan originally dated as of October 6, 2020, as amended on October 16, 2020 and as further amended on January 15, 2021, between LumiraDx Group Limited, or LumiraDx Group, one of our subsidiaries, and Silicon Valley Bank, as lender and Jefferies Finance LLC, or Jefferies, as lender and administrative and collateral agent pursuant to which Jefferies originally made available to LumiraDx Group a $100 million senior secured term loan facility and, pursuant to an incremental term loan notice dated as of January 15, 2021, Silicon Valley Bank had provided an incremental term loan facility of an additional $40 million. The Senior Secured Loan is subject to an interest rate of 8.0% per annum payable in quarterly cash installments. The Senior Secured Loan matures on March 29, 2024. The Senior Secured Loan has been guaranteed and secured by LumiraDx and certain of its subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Loan contains various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions without the prior consent of Pharmakon, including:

•

making certain restricted payments, including paying dividends on, or repurchasing or making distributions with respect to, our shares subject to certain exceptions;

•

selling, transferring, leasing or disposing of certain assets;

•

encumbering or permitting liens on certain assets;

•

incurring certain indebtedness; and

•

entering into certain transactions with affiliates.

The Senior Secured Loan also includes certain financial covenants which require:

•

a minimum liquidity level to be maintained which is tested on a monthly basis; and

•

a minimum net sales threshold to be met on a trailing twelve-month net sales basis.

Upon the occurrence of a change in control, the Senior Secured Loan also requires mandatory prepayment of amounts outstanding thereunder. Such change in control may involve one of (i) (A) prior to an IPO, a person who is not a holder of the then-outstanding share capital of LumiraDx becoming the “beneficial owner”, directly or indirectly, of the share capital of LumiraDx or (B) following an IPO, the persons who are the direct or indirect shareholders of LumiraDx as at March 23, 2021, ceasing to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 30% of the then-outstanding share capital of LumiraDx, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of LumiraDx Investment Limited and its subsidiaries, (iii) LumiraDx ceasing to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity interests in LumiraDx Investment Limited or (iv) a merger or consolidation of one of LumiraDx, LumiraDx Group or LumiraDx Investment Limited, as applicable, in which such entity is not the surviving entity.

A breach of any of the covenants under the Senior Secured Loan could result in a default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Senior Secured Loan, Pharmakon could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. Upon the occurrence of insolvency and insolvency proceedings events of default in respect of our U.S. subsidiaries all amounts outstanding will automatically be immediately due and payable. If we are unable to repay those amounts, Pharmakon could proceed against the collateral granted to secure such indebtedness.

We have also borrowed $18 million from BMGF pursuant to a note, which is structurally subordinated to the Senior Secured Loan. In the event of certain triggering events under such note, BMGF may exercise its rights under our other agreements with BMGF to require us to perform certain technology transfers to a third party to allow for the use of the related technology and to manufacture the relevant products under a license granted by us to BMGF. If we were required by BMGF to make a technology transfer, it could have a significant adverse effect on us and our business, as we would be transferring significant intellectual property for no consideration.

Our 5% notes and 10% notes will be converted in connection with the LMDX convertible loan note conversions as part of the Capital Restructuring, subject to approval by the relevant noteholders.

In addition, we may seek additional debt or restructure or refinance our existing indebtedness. We may not be able obtain additional debt or restructure or refinance our existing indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternative actions may cause us to enter into borrowing arrangements with additional restrictions.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

If commercial third-party payors or government payors fail to provide coverage or adequate reimbursement for our Platform or future products we develop, if any, our revenue and prospects for profitability would be harmed.

In both domestic and foreign markets, the commercial success of our Platform and any future products we may develop will depend on the extent to which we obtain and maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement from governments or third-party payors. These third-party payors include government healthcare programs (such as Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S. or national or regional health services or payors in other jurisdictions),

managed care organizations, health maintenance organizations, private health insurers, and other organizations. Physicians may not use our Platform or diagnostic tests unless commercial third-party payors and government payors pay for all, or a substantial portion, of the list price, and certain commercial third-party payors may not agree to reimburse our Platform if the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, or pricing and reimbursement authorities in other jurisdictions do not issue a positive coverage decision.

In the U.S., CMS decides whether and to what extent a product will be covered and reimbursed under Medicare and private payors tend to follow CMS to a substantial degree. Therefore, we believe that obtaining and maintaining a favorable reimbursement rate from CMS for our Platform will be a necessary element in achieving material commercial success. Healthcare providers and patients may not order our Platform unless third-party payors cover and pay for all, or a substantial portion, of the list price, and certain commercial third-party payors may not agree to reimburse our Platform if CMS does not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement. Further, while due to the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of individuals have lost or will be losing employer-based insurance coverage, which may adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products, as part of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, HHS provides claims reimbursement to health care providers generally at Medicare rates for testing uninsured individuals for COVID-19 on or after February 4, 2020. It is unclear whether providers will use such avenue for reimbursement for our products.

If CMS denies reimbursement of our Platform, withdraws its coverage policies after reimbursement is obtained, reviews and adjusts the rate of reimbursement, or stops paying for our Platform altogether, our revenue and results of operations would be adversely effected. Additionally, we could experience negative consequences, including:

•

We could be forced to rely on private insurance coverage, which would greatly decrease our intended market opportunity for our Platform;

•

A negative coverage determination could adversely affect our ability to enter into partnerships with leading healthcare systems; and

•

We may need to conduct additional clinical validation, utility and other studies as part of an appeal of a negative Medicare coverage decision, and even if we expended the substantial time and resources to conduct such studies, they may not be successful and they may not result in a positive Medicare coverage determination.

Coverage and reimbursement of diagnostic tests by third-party payors may depend on a number of factors, including a payor’s determination that our Platform or other products are:

•

not experimental or investigational and are otherwise authorized for marketing in the jurisdiction;

•

medically necessary;

•

appropriate for the specific patient;

•

cost-effective;

•

supported by peer-reviewed publications;

•

included in clinical practice guidelines, and

•

supported by clinical utility studies.

In the U.S., no uniform policy for coverage and reimbursement for products exists among third-party payors. Therefore, coverage and reimbursement for our products can differ significantly from payor to payor. The process for determining whether a payor will provide coverage for a product may be separate from the process for setting the reimbursement rate that the payor will pay for the product. One payor’s determination to

provide coverage for a product does not assure that other payors will also provide coverage and reimbursement for the product. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a product does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Patients who are prescribed treatments for their conditions and providers performing the prescribed services generally rely on third-party payors to reimburse all or part of the associated healthcare costs. If coverage and adequate reimbursement is not maintained or made available, or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our Platform. We cannot be sure that coverage and reimbursement will be maintained or made available for, or accurately estimate the potential revenue from, our Platform or assure that coverage and reimbursement will be available for any product that we have or may develop. If we cannot maintain or obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement from third party payors for our Platform or any future products, demand for such products may decline or may not grow as we expect, which could limit our ability to generate revenue and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

In both domestic and foreign jurisdictions, third-party payors, including government payors, are increasingly attempting to contain healthcare costs by demanding price discounts or rebates and limiting both coverage on which diagnostic products they will pay for and the amounts that they will pay for new diagnostic products. Because of the cost-containment trends, third-party payors that currently provide reimbursement for, or in the future cover, our Platform may reduce, suspend, revoke, or discontinue reimbursement or coverage at any time.

As a result, there is significant uncertainty surrounding whether the use of products that incorporate new technology, such as our Platform, will be eligible for coverage by third-party payors or, if eligible for coverage, what the reimbursement rates will be for those products. The fact that a diagnostic product has been covered and reimbursed in the past, for any particular indication or in any particular jurisdiction, does not guarantee that such a diagnostic product will remain covered or reimbursed or that similar or additional diagnostic products will be covered or reimbursed in the future.

In addition, we may develop new assays that may require obtaining a Current Procedure Terminology, or CPT, procedure code. CMS prices the new clinical diagnostic laboratory test codes using a “crosswalking” or “gapfilling” process. “Crosswalking” occurs when a new test or substantially revised test is determined to be similar to an existing test, multiple existing test codes, or a portion of an existing test code, which can then be utilized to determine reimbursement. “Gapfilling” is a process by which CMS will refer the codes to the Medicare Administrative Contractors, or MACs, to allow them to determine an appropriate price, since there is no comparable, existing code. After a year of reimbursement at the local MAC rates, CMS calculates a national limitation amount based on the median of rates for the test code across all MACs. In addition, CMS may not provide coverage for certain of the new codes for Multi-analyte Assays with Algorithmic Analyses, or MAAAs, due to concerns that clinical efficacy and usefulness have not been widely established and documented. CMS has left the approval of new codes for MAAAs under the purview of the MACs. Our reimbursement could be adversely affected by CMS’ action in this area, including by a negative national coverage determination. If it limits coverage or reduces reimbursement for the new test codes or does not pay for our new MAAA codes, then our revenue will be adversely affected. There can be no guarantees that Medicare and other payors will establish positive or adequate coverage policies or reimbursement rates. We cannot predict whether future health care initiatives will be implemented at the federal or state level, or how any future legislation or regulation may affect us. The expansion of government’s role in the U.S. health care industry, and changes to the reimbursement amounts paid by Medicare and other payors for our current tests and our planned future tests, may reduce our profits, if any, and have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In some foreign countries, the proposed pricing for a product must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed. The requirements governing pricing vary widely from country to country. For example, in the European Union, or E.U., while most Member States apply some sort of pricing measures or controls, pricing and reimbursement of IVDs is not harmonized at a European level. Member States in the E.U. have exclusive

competence to determine pricing and reimbursement of IVDs within their jurisdiction. In addition, many jurisdictions reimburse IVDs as part of the costs associated with certain treatments or procedures. In those cases, the pricing and reimbursement of our tests will be determined by the costs allocated to testing as part of the procedure and whether the relevant health service will select and procure our products. Therefore, the price we obtain for our products will vary depending on the different statutory health schemes within each Member State. There can be no assurance that any country that has price controls or reimbursement limitations for diagnostic products will allow favorable reimbursement and pricing arrangements for any of our products. Historically, products launched in the E.U. do not follow price structures of the U.S. and generally prices tend to be significantly lower.

The U.S. and foreign governments continue to propose and enact or promulgate legislation, regulations, guidance and other policies designed to reduce the cost of healthcare. For example, in some foreign markets, the government controls the pricing of many healthcare products. We expect that there will continue to be federal and state proposals to implement governmental controls or impose healthcare requirements. In addition, the Medicare program and increasing emphasis on managed care in the U.S. will continue to put pressure on product pricing. Cost control initiatives could decrease the price that we would receive for any products in the future, which would limit our revenue and profitability.

Payors from whom we may receive reimbursement are able to withdraw or decrease the amount of reimbursement provided for our products at any time in the future.

Our commercial success also depends on our ability to maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement from those payors that decide to cover and reimburse our Platform. Further, one payor’s determination to provide coverage for a product does not assure that other payors will also provide coverage and reimbursement for the product, and the level of coverage and reimbursement can differ significantly from payor to payor. Payors could withdraw coverage and stop providing reimbursement for our products in the future or may reimburse our products only on a case-by-case basis.

Further, even if we obtain written agreements regarding coverage and reimbursement with certain payors, these agreements are not guarantees of indefinite coverage in an adequate amount. For example, these agreements are typically terminable without cause by either party and are typically renewable annually, and the applicable payor could opt against renewal upon expiration. In addition, the terms of certain of our written arrangements may require pre-approval from the payor or other controls and procedures prior to use by a healthcare provider. To the extent these requirements are not followed, our Platform may fail to receive some or all of the reimbursement payments to which it is otherwise entitled. These payors must also conclude that claims for our Platform satisfy the applicable contractual criteria. In addition, our written agreements regarding reimbursement with payors may not guarantee the receipt of reimbursement payments at what we believe to be the applicable reimbursement rate for such claims. If payors withdraw coverage for our products or reduce the reimbursement amounts for our products, our ability to generate revenue could be limited, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Our business and sale of our products are subject to extensive regulatory requirements, including compliance with labeling, manufacturing and reporting controls. If we fail or are unable to timely obtain the necessary authorizations, approvals or clearances for new products, our ability to generate revenue could be materially harmed.

Our products are classified as medical devices and are subject to extensive regulation in the U.K., European Union and the U.S. by FDA and other federal, state and local authorities and by similar regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions. Government regulation of medical devices is meant to assure their safety and effectiveness, and includes regulation of, among other things:

•

design, development and manufacturing;

•

testing and labeling, including directions for use, processes, controls, quality assurance and packaging;

•

storage, distribution, installation and servicing;

•

preclinical studies and clinical trials;

•

establishment registration and listing;

•

product safety and effectiveness;

•

marketing, sales and distribution;

•

premarket approval, de novo classification, 510(k) clearance and EUA;

•

recordkeeping procedures;

•

advertising and promotion;

•

complaint handling, corrections and removals, and recalls;

•

post-market surveillance, including reporting of deaths or serious injuries, and malfunctions that, if they were to recur, would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury; and

•

product import and export.

In the U.S., before we can market a new medical device, or a new use of, or claim for, an existing product, we must first receive either 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, Premarket Approval, or PMA, or EUA from FDA, unless an exemption applies.

The process of obtaining a PMA is much more costly and uncertain than the 510(k) clearance process and generally takes from one to three years, or longer, from the time the application is submitted to FDA until an approval is obtained. The process of obtaining 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals to market a medical device can be costly and time consuming, and we may not be able to obtain these clearances or approvals on a timely basis, if at all.

An EUA may be granted for unapproved medical products, including IVDs, which authorizes the products to be marketed in the context of an actual or potential emergency that has been designated by the government. The COVID-19 pandemic has been designated such a national emergency. EUAs authorize the use of specific products based on criteria established by statute, including that the product at issue may be effective in diagnosing, treating, or preventing serious or life-threatening diseases when there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. An EUA is subject to additional conditions and restrictions and is product-specific. An EUA terminates when the emergency determination underlying the EUA terminates.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, PMA approval or EUA. FDA can delay, limit or deny 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, PMA approval or EUA of a device for many reasons, including:

•

we may not be able to demonstrate to FDA’s satisfaction that our products are safe and effective for their intended uses;

•

the data from our preclinical studies and clinical trials may be insufficient to support clearance, classification, approval or authorization, where required; and

•

the manufacturing process or facilities we use may not meet applicable requirements.

FDA may refuse our requests for 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, premarket approval or EUA of new products, new intended uses or modifications to existing products. Additionally, even if obtained, 510(k) clearances, de novo classifications, premarket approvals or EUAs could be withdrawn or revoked at any time for a number of reasons, including the failure of our Platform to perform as expected. In particular, other companies

have had their FDA approvals, or authorizations, including EUAs, revoked due to sensitivity and specificity concerns, and we cannot predict the circumstances under which the FDA would revoke an EUA for a COVID-19 test, including ours, as an understanding of the virus and the efficacy of tests and treatments is continuously evolving.

If we receive approval, authorization, certification, classification or clearance for our tests, we will be subject to ongoing FDA obligations and continued regulatory oversight and review, such as compliance with the Quality System Regulation, inspections by the FDA, continued adverse event and malfunction reporting, corrections and removals reporting, registration and listing, and promotional restrictions, and we may also be subject to additional FDA post-marketing obligations. If we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may not be permitted to market our tests and/or may be subject to fines, injunctions, and civil penalties; recall or seizure of products; operating restrictions; and criminal prosecution. In addition, we may be subject to similar regulatory compliance actions of foreign jurisdictions.

We may recall, replace, or make corrections to our Instrument, test strips or other products which could negatively impact manufacturing, supply and customer relationships, and may result in adverse regulatory action, including revision or revocation of an EUA. For example, beginning in early January 2021, based on reports of suspected false positive results, we initiated recalls of test strips for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test. As of March 17, 2021, we have withdrawn 10 batches, out of more than 200 batches produced, from the field and from customers. As per applicable regulations, we have notified and are in contact with FDA, U.K. regulatory authority (“MHRA”) and the national competent regulatory authorities of the affected E.U. countries regarding these actions. To mitigate further potential interference effects or false positives, we have also added error checking measures in the Instrument, manufacturing process controls and quality control testing and release criteria, as well as a mandatory software update rolled out in February 2021 and a subsequent voluntary software update rolled out in March 2021. We cannot guarantee that no issues shall arise with regards to batches in the field where customers do not implement proposed software updates or batches manufactured prior to changes being implemented. We continue to monitor and investigate any complaints. The impact of the existence of various SARS-CoV-2 variants, change in seasons or mucus composition mix further impact the current SARS-CoV-2 antigen test.

We will need to submit numerous applications for approval, authorization, certification, classification or clearance for each test as it becomes available, which could put significant pressure on R&D and regulatory staff, resulting in delays. From time to time, legislation is drafted and introduced in the U.K., other European jurisdictions or the U.S. that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing any regulatory approval, authorization, certification, classification or clearance that we receive in such jurisdictions. In addition, in the U.S., the FDA may change its authorization, clearance, classification and approval policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions that may prevent or delay, approval, authorization, certification, classification or clearance of our products under development or impact our ability to modify any marketed products on a timely basis.

Changes in the way the FDA and other comparable regulatory authorities regulate or notified bodies assess products developed, manufactured, validated and marketed by commercial manufacturers like us could result in delay or additional expense in offering our products and products that we may develop in the future.

In the U.S., we have marketed our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, and plan to market our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test, if approved, authorized or cleared, pursuant to the “Policy for Diagnostic Tests for Coronavirus Disease-2019 during the Public Health Emergency” issued by FDA on March 16, 2020 and most recently revised on May 11, 2020. This policy allows for the limited development and distribution of diagnostic test kits and antibody tests to detect viral particles and identify antibodies of the SARS-CoV-2 virus by commercial manufacturers, subject to certain notification requirements. Unless and until such an EUA is issued that authorizes additional testing environments for a specific test, under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement

Amendments of 1988, or CLIA, use of that test is limited to laboratories certified to perform high complexity testing, including testing at the POC when the site is covered by the laboratory’s CLIA certificate for high-complexity testing. We have obtained an EUA from FDA for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test and we have submitted an EUA request for our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test. An EUA allows a test to be used at POC facilities should the test be deemed to be CLIA waived through FDA authorization of the test for use at the POC under the EUA. Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test is authorized for use at the POC under the EUA granted for that test. There can be no assurance that the EUA request that we submitted for our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test will be granted on a timely basis or at all, or that our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test will be authorized for use at the POC. A wave of regulatory applications in the U.S., combined with COVID-19 operational challenges, including potential staff shortages at regulatory agencies and elsewhere, could result in delays in approvals, authorizations or clearances for our SARS-CoV-2 tests or otherwise. FDA or other comparable regulatory agencies may prioritize certain applications or submissions based on the testing methodologies or other factors. In addition, FDA has issued and may issue further guidance or change regulatory requirements at any time, which may delay our marketing and sales efforts and/or necessitate costly measures to maintain regulatory compliance with respect to these and any future products, which would have a detrimental effect on our business.

Our LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR, and the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR Complete have not been cleared or approved by FDA. The LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has been authorized by FDA under an EUA only for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein. LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR and LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR Complete have been authorized by FDA under an EUA only for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2. They have not been authorized for use to detect any other viruses or pathogens. The tests are authorized in the United States for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of IVD tests for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.

For our IVD devices for other indications, we may not market these devices for POC until we have received the requisite regulatory approvals, clearances, classifications or certifications for each product. Our product development program may be curtailed, redirected, eliminated or delayed at any time for many reasons, including if FDA, other regulators or notified bodies change how these devices are regulated or assessed, and we cannot predict whether we will successfully develop and commercialize these devices. FDA or a comparable regulatory authority may require more information, including additional clinical data, to support approval, clearance, classification or certification, which may delay or prevent approval and our commercialization plans, or we may decide to abandon the development program. Any of the foregoing scenarios could materially harm the commercial prospects of our products.

Healthcare policy changes, including legislation reforming the U.S. health care system, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In the U.S. and in some foreign jurisdictions, there have been, and likely will continue to be, a number of legislative initiatives and regulatory changes regarding the healthcare system directed at broadening the availability of healthcare, improving the quality of healthcare, and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. For example, in March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or ACA, was enacted, which made a number of substantial changes in the way health care is financed by both governmental and private insurers. Among other things, the ACA required each certain medical device manufacturer to pay an excise tax, or Medical Device Excise Tax, equal to 2.3% of the price for which such manufacturer sells its medical devices that are listed with FDA. However, this tax was permanently eliminated as part of the 2020 federal spending package, effective January 1, 2020.

Some of the provisions of the ACA have yet to be fully implemented, while certain provisions have been subject to judicial and congressional challenges. Congress previously considered legislation that would repeal or repeal and replace all or part of the ACA. While Congress has not passed comprehensive repeal legislation, the

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or Tax Act, includes a provision that decreased the tax-based shared responsibility payment imposed by the ACA on certain individuals who fail to maintain qualifying health coverage for all or part of a year, commonly referred to as the “individual mandate,” to $0, effective January 1, 2019. On December 14, 2018, a U.S. District Court Judge in the Northern District of Texas, or the Texas District Court Judge, ruled that the individual mandate is a critical and inseverable feature of the ACA, and therefore, because it was repealed as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the remaining provisions of the ACA are invalid as well. The previous administration and CMS both stated that the ruling will have no immediate effect, and on December 18, 2019, the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals held that the individual mandate is unconstitutional, and remanded the case to the lower court to reconsider its earlier invalidation of the full ACA. The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari on March 2, 2020, and heard oral arguments on November 10, 2020. The case is expected to be decided in 2021. It is unclear how this decision and other efforts to repeal and replace the ACA will impact the ACA and our business.

While the current U.S. presidential administration has signaled its intent to pursue policies strengthening the ACA, the prior U.S. presidential administration sought to modify, repeal, or otherwise invalidate all, or certain provisions of, the ACA. From January 2017 to January 2021, former President Trump signed several Executive Orders and other directives designed to delay the implementation of certain provisions of the ACA or otherwise circumvent some of the requirements for health insurance mandated by the ACA. One Executive Order directed federal agencies with authorities and responsibilities under the ACA to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision of the ACA that would impose a fiscal or regulatory burden on states, individuals, healthcare providers, health insurers, or manufacturers of pharmaceuticals or medical devices. Another Executive Order terminated the cost-sharing subsidies that reimburse insurers under the ACA. Several state Attorneys General filed suit to stop the administration from terminating the subsidies, but their request for a restraining order was denied by a federal judge in California on October 25, 2017. Further, on June 14, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the federal government was not required to pay the more than $12 billion in ACA risk corridor payments to third-party payors who argued that such payments were owed to them. This decision was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which on April 27, 2020, reversed the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s decision and remanded the case to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, concluding the government has an obligation to pay these risk corridor payments under the relevant formula. The effects of this gap in reimbursement on third-party payors, the viability of the ACA marketplace, providers, and potentially our business, are not yet known.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. The Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, or PAMA, was signed to law on April 1, 2014, and, among other things, significantly altered the payment methodology under the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, or CLFS. The CFLS applies to a wide variety of laboratories, including national chains, physician offices, and hospital laboratories. Regulations finalized in 2016 stipulated that for the reporting period beginning in 2017 and every three years thereafter (or annually in the case of advanced diagnostic laboratory tests), applicable clinical laboratories must report laboratory test payment data for each Medicare-covered clinical diagnostic laboratory test that it furnishes during the specified time period. The reported data must include the payment rate (reflecting all discounts, rebates, coupons and other price concessions) and the volume of each test that was paid by each private payor (including health insurance issuers, group health plans, Medicare Advantage plans and Medicaid managed care organizations). Additionally, effective January 1, 2018, the Medicare payment rate for a test on the CLFS is equal to the weighted median of private payor rates determined for the test, based on the data of applicable laboratories that are collected during a specified data collection period and reported to CMS during a specified data reporting period. The payment amount for a test cannot drop more than 10 percent as compared to the previous year’s payment amount for the first three years after implementation of the new payment system, and not more than 15 percent per year for the subsequent three years. Under the Laboratory Access to Beneficiaries, or LAB Act, Congress delayed reporting for applicable clinical laboratory tests that are not advanced diagnostic laboratory tests by one year. Applicable clinical laboratory test data that was supposed to be reported between January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020, was delayed until January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021. The CARES Act further delayed the reporting period for another year, until January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022. The

CARES Act also delayed the 15 percent payment reduction cap under PAMA by one year. For 2020, the rates for clinical laboratory tests that are not advanced diagnostic laboratory tests or new clinical laboratory tests may not be reduced by more than 10% of the rates for 2019. There is no payment reduction for 2021, and there will be a 15% reduction cap for each of 2022, 2023, and 2024. Also, under PAMA, CMS is required to adopt temporary billing codes to identify new tests and new advanced diagnostic laboratory tests that have been cleared or approved by FDA. For an existing test that is cleared or approved by FDA and for which Medicare payment is made as of April 1, 2014, CMS is required to assign a unique billing code if one has not already been assigned by the agency. In addition to assigning the code, CMS is required to publicly report payment for the tests. We cannot determine at this time the full impact of PAMA on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, the Budget Control Act of 2011, among other things, created the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to recommend proposals in spending reductions to Congress. The Joint Select Committee did not achieve its targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, triggering the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs. This includes aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers and suppliers of up to 2% per fiscal year, starting in 2013, and, due to subsequent legislative amendments to the statute, will remain in effect through 2030 unless additional congressional action is taken. However, these Medicare sequester reductions were suspended from May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The full impact of the sequester law on our business is uncertain. On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several types of providers, including hospitals and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. In addition, the Middle-Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 mandated an additional change in Medicare reimbursement for clinical laboratory tests.

Additionally, the previous administration announced several executive orders since July 24, 2020 relating to implementing several of the administration’s healthcare proposals and in response the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, on August 6, 2020, the Trump administration issued an executive order that directed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, to identify a list of essential medicines, medical countermeasures and critical inputs that are medically necessary to have available at all times in an amount adequate to serve patient needs and in the appropriate dosage forms. In response, on October 30, 2020, the FDA published a list of 227 drug and biological product essential medicines and medical countermeasures, and a list of 96 device medical countermeasures. It is unclear what impact this order and list will have on our business.

Additionally, recent regulatory changes regarding health information may impact our products such as the Connect Manager, EHR Connect, the Connect Hub and the Engage app. On March 9, 2020, the HHS, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, or ONC, and CMS promulgated final rules aimed at supporting seamless and secure access, exchange, and use of electronic health information, or EHI, by increasing innovation and competition by giving patients and their healthcare providers secure access to health information and new tools, allowing for more choice in care and treatment. The final rules are intended to clarify and operationalize provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act, or Cures Act, regarding interoperability and “information blocking,” and create significant new requirements for health care industry participants. Information blocking is defined as activity that is likely to interfere with, prevent, or materially discourage access, exchange, or use of EHI, where a health information technology developer, health information network or health information exchange knows or should know that such practice is likely to interfere with access to, exchange or use of EHI. The new rules create significant new requirements for health care industry participants, and require certain electronic health record technology to incorporate standardized application programming interfaces, or APIs, to allow individuals to securely and easily access structured EHI using smartphone applications. The ONC will also implement provisions of the Cures Act requiring that patients can electronically access all of their EHI (structured and/or unstructured) at no cost. Finally, to further support access and exchange of EHI, the final ONC rule implements the information blocking provisions of the Cures Act and identified eight “reasonable and necessary activities” as exceptions to information blocking activities, as long as specific

conditions are met. In light of the COVID-19 public health emergency, ONC stated that it intends to exercise enforcement discretion for three months at the end of certain ONC Health IT Certification Program compliance dates associated with the Cures Act final ONC rule. Pursuant to the final rule, health IT developers were initially to be subject to requirements such as prohibitions on participating in any action that constitutes information blocking, providing certification to the Secretary of HHS that they will not take actions that constitute information blocking, and other requirements regarding information blocking six months from May 1, 2020, when the final rule was published in the Federal Register. However, on October 29, 2020, HHS released an Interim Final Rule, effective December 4, 2020, pushing compliance with such requirements to April 5, 2021. Certified API Developers must now comply with new administrative requirements by April 5, 2021 and must provide all certified API technology by December 31, 2022.

These rules seek to implement significant reforms regarding the access, use and exchange of patient data. These rules may benefit us in that they make it more difficult for EHR vendors to engage in data blocking activity, promote common standards for data exchange, and provide for easier patient access to their EHI. However, these rules may also make it easier for other similar companies to enter the market, creating increased competition and reducing our market share. It is unclear at this time what the costs of compliance with the final rules will be, and what additional risks there may be to our business.

We expect that the ACA, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, more rigorous coverage criteria, greater use of new technology assessment review boards for determination of cost and comparative effectiveness, lower reimbursement, and new payment methodologies. This could lower the price that we receive for any approved product. Any denial in coverage or reduction in reimbursement from Medicare or other government-funded programs may result in a similar denial or reduction in payments from private payors, which may prevent us from being able to generate sufficient revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our product candidates, if approved. Congress has proposed on several occasions to impose a 20% coinsurance on patients for clinical laboratory tests reimbursed under the Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, which would require us to bill patients for these amounts. Because of the relatively low reimbursement for many clinical laboratory tests, in the event that Congress were to ever enact such legislation, the cost of billing and collecting for these tests would often exceed the amount actually received from the patient and effectively increase our costs of billing and collecting.

The regulatory pathway for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool and SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests and healthcare professionals’ understanding of the novel coronavirus is continually evolving and may result in unexpected or unforeseen challenges.

We have obtained an EUA from the FDA for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test and have submitted an EUA request for our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test and plan to submit an EUA request for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test in 2021. Additionally, in the E.U./European Economic Area we affixed a CE Mark to our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test (following self-certification against the relevant E.U. Directive) and SARS-CoV-2 antibody test and we may submit such tests for regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance in other jurisdictions. Following the U.K.’s departure from the E.U., our E.U. CE Mark will continue to be recognized in G.B. until June 30, 2023 and then a U.K. Conformity Assessed Mark, or UKCA mark, will be required (whereas, in Northern Ireland a CE Mark or CE UKNI Mark will be required). The volume of tests being developed for COVID-19 and the speed at which parties are acting to create and test many diagnostic tests for COVID-19 is unusual and evolving or changing plans or priorities within regulatory authorities, including changes based on new knowledge of COVID-19 and how the disease affects the human body, may significantly affect the regulatory timeline for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test and SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests. The circumstances surrounding the pandemic may adversely impact the regulatory approval timeline for the Platform and its components both in relation to the COVID-19 tests, and our other tests generally if regulatory authorities prioritize tests for COVID-19 over other diseases. Results from clinical testing may raise new questions and require us to proceed with additional reviews or clinical trials, including revising proposed

endpoints or adding new clinical trial sites or cohorts of subjects. Additionally, our understanding of COVID-19, its infectiveness and other effects on the human body, the ability of individuals to develop antibodies against the virus and the effectiveness of any immune response in preventing future infections are constantly evolving, with new research suggesting sometimes surprising results being published on a frequent basis. New discoveries, new variants or changed understanding of how the virus affects the human body, particularly of its infectivity, impact of various variants and individuals’ immune response to it, could render existing tests, including ours, technologically or commercially obsolete or inferior to new methods that we may or may not be able to develop on a timely basis without significant resources and funding.

Even though we have obtained an EUA for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test and even if we obtain an EUA for our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test and our SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test, an EUA terminates when the emergency determination underlying the EUA terminates. Moreover, FDA may revoke an EUA at any time if it determines that the legal criteria for issuing the EUA are no longer met, including if the product may not be effective or the product’s potential benefits for such use do not outweigh its known and potential risks, and we therefore cannot predict how long, if ever, any EUA applicable to our Platform would remain in place. Any revocation or termination of an EUA applicable to our Platform could adversely impact our business in a variety of ways, including if we and our manufacturing collaborators have invested significantly in the supply chain to produce our SARS-CoV-2 tests.

In addition, since the regulatory path to authorization of any COVID-19 test is evolving in various jurisdictions and other third parties are simultaneously focused on bringing their COVID-19 tests to market, there may be a widely used product in circulation in a specific country prior to our receipt of regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance or before we can CE Mark our Instrument in such country, which would limit our ability to market and gain traction on sale of our Platform. Unexpected issues, including any that we have not yet observed, could lead to significant reputational damage for us and our Platform going forward and other issues, including delays in our other programs, the need for re-design of our clinical trials and the need for significant additional financial resources.

If we fail to comply with the complex federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations that apply to our business, we could suffer severe consequences that could materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

We are or expect to become subject to broadly applicable healthcare laws, including fraud and abuse, transparency, and privacy and security laws, which are regulated and enforced by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. These health care laws and regulations include, for example:

•

the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, persons and entities from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe, or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward, or in return for, either the referral of an individual, or the purchase, lease, order, arrangement, or recommendation of any good, facility, item or service for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal healthcare program, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The ACA amended the intent element of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute to clarify that a person or entity can be found guilty of violating the statute without actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it. The term remuneration has been interpreted broadly to include anything of value. Further, courts have found that if “one purpose” of the remuneration is to induce referrals, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute is violated. Violations are subject to significant civil and criminal fines and penalties for each violation, imprisonment, and exclusion from government healthcare programs. In addition, a claim submitted for payment to any federal healthcare program that includes items or services that were made as a result of a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal False Claims Act, or FCA. There are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, though

the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly and practices that involve remuneration intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualify for an exception or safe harbor;

•

the federal civil and criminal false claims laws, including the FCA, and civil monetary penalty laws which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, false, fictitious or fraudulent claims for payment to, or approval by Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs; knowingly making, using, or causing to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false, fictitious or fraudulent claim or an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the federal government; or knowingly concealing or knowingly and improperly avoiding, decreasing or concealing an obligation to pay money to the federal government. Manufacturers can be held liable under the FCA even when they do not submit claims directly to government payors if they are deemed to “cause” the submission of false or fraudulent claims. The FCA also permits a private individual acting as a “whistleblower” to bring qui tam actions on behalf of the federal government alleging violations of the FCA and to share in any monetary recovery or settlement. When an entity is determined to have violated the FCA, the government may impose civil fines and penalties for each false claim, plus treble damages, and exclude the entity from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs;

•

HIPAA, which created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payors, or obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any of the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of, any healthcare benefit program, regardless of the payor (e.g., public or private), and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up by any trick or device a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation, or making or using any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false fictitious or fraudulent statement or entry in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items or services relating to healthcare matters. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity can be found guilty of violating HIPAA fraud provisions without actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it;

•

HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, or the HITECH Act, and their respective implementing regulations, which impose, among other things, certain requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information on certain covered healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, known as covered entities, as well as their respective “business associates,” or third parties that create, receive, maintain, transmit or obtain protected health information in connection with providing a service on behalf of a covered entity. The HITECH Act also created new tiers of civil monetary penalties, amended HIPAA to make civil and criminal penalties directly applicable to business associates, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorneys’ fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, there may be additional federal, state and non-U.S. laws which govern the privacy and security of health and other personal information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts;

•

the federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act, created under the ACA, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, and its implementing regulations, which require manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (with certain exceptions) to report annually to CMS information related to direct or indirect payments and other transfers of value made to U.S.-licensed physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors) and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by the

physicians and their immediate family members. Effective January 1, 2022, these reporting obligations will extend to include transfers of value made in the previous year to certain non-physician providers, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and certified nurse midwives;

•

federal consumer protection and unfair competition laws, which broadly regulate marketplace activities and activities that potentially harm consumers; and

•

analogous U.S. state, local and foreign laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, which may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including private insurers and may be broader in scope than their federal equivalents; state and foreign laws that require medical device companies to comply with the medical device industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers and other potential referral sources, state and foreign laws that require device manufacturers to report information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and other healthcare providers, marketing expenditures or product pricing; state and local laws that require the registration of medical device sales representatives; state laws that prohibit other specified practices, such as (i) billing physicians for testing that they order or waiving coinsurance, copayments, deductibles, and other amounts owed by patients, and (ii) billing a state Medicaid program at a price that is higher than what is charged to one or more other payors; and state and foreign laws governing the privacy and security of health information, some of which may be more stringent than those in the U.S. (such as the E.U., which adopted the General Data Protection Regulation) in certain circumstances, and may differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts.

The scope and enforcement of each of these laws is uncertain and subject to rapid change in the current environment of healthcare reform. Ensuring business arrangements comply with applicable healthcare laws, as well as responding to possible investigations by government authorities, can be time- and resource-consuming and can divert the company’s attention from the business.

It is possible that governmental and enforcement authorities will conclude that our business practices, including our arrangements with physicians and other healthcare providers, some of whom may receive stock options as compensation for services provided, may not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law interpreting applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other government regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to significant sanctions, including civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, imprisonment, reputational harm, exclusion from participation in federal and state funded healthcare programs, contractual damages and the curtailment or restricting of our operations, as well as additional reporting obligations and oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws. Further, if any of the physicians or other healthcare providers or entities with whom we expect to do business are found to be not in compliance with applicable laws, they may be subject to similar penalties. Any action for violation of these laws, even if successfully defended, could incur significant legal expenses and divert management’s attention from the operation of the business. In addition, the marketing authorization and commercialization of any product we develop outside the U.S. will also likely subject us to foreign equivalents of the healthcare laws mentioned above, among other foreign laws. All of these could harm our ability to operate our business and our financial results.

Efforts to ensure that our business arrangements with third parties will comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations will involve substantial costs. The shifting compliance environment and the need to build and maintain robust and expandable systems to comply with multiple jurisdictions with different compliance or reporting requirements increases the possibility that we may run afoul of one or more of the requirements.

Sales of our products in other jurisdictions, including the E.U./European Economic Area and the U.K., will also be subject to equivalent or comparable laws and failure to comply with these laws could have serious financial, as well as reputational, consequences for the company. Key laws and regulations that apply to our products in the E.U. and U.K. include, amongst others:

•

the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), which sets out the data protection laws across the E.U. and is particularly important for the collection, storage and use of patient data;

•

the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation, read alongside the Data Protection Act 2018, or the U.K. DPA, set out data protection laws for the U.K.; and

•

relevant anti-bribery and corruption laws enacted by the Member States of the E.U./European Economic Area (the applicable regime in the U.K. is the Bribery Act 2010).

Additionally, our failure to comply could lead to civil and/or criminal penalties in individual Member States.

When we seek to commercially distribute our POC IVD devices in the U.S., if our devices are not considered CLIA waived or if we are delayed in or unable to obtain a CLIA waiver for such devices, our business may be harmed.

In the U.S., our IVD devices are subject to compliance with the Clinical Laboratory Improvements Act of 1988, or the CLIA and its implementing regulations. CLIA establishes quality standards for all laboratory testing to ensure the accuracy, reliability and timeliness of patient test results regardless of where the test is performed. A laboratory is broadly defined to include any facility that performs laboratory testing on specimens derived from humans for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of disease, or the impairment of, or assessment of health. Under CLIA, FDA categorizes IVD tests by their degree of complexity: (1) waived; (2) moderately complex; and (3) highly complex. When a test is categorized as waived, it may be performed by laboratories that have a Certificate of Waiver.

Tests that are waived by the CLIA regulations are automatically categorized as waived following 510(k) clearance or PMA approval. Otherwise, following clearance or approval, tests may be categorized either as moderate or high complexity according to the CLIA categorization criteria. A manufacturer of a test categorized as moderate complexity may request categorization of the test as waived through a CLIA Waiver by Application, or CW, submission to FDA. In a CW submission, the manufacturer provides evidence to FDA that a test meets the CLIA statutory criteria for waiver. Specifically, waived tests are simple laboratory examinations and procedures that have an insignificant risk of an erroneous result, including those that (A) employ methodologies that are so simple and accurate as to render the likelihood of erroneous results by the user negligible, or (B) FDA has determined pose no unreasonable risk of harm to the patient if performed incorrectly. Further, when FDA authorizes tests for use at the POC under an EUA, such tests are deemed to be CLIA waived tests. As such, such tests can be performed in a patient care setting that is qualified to have the test performed there as a result of operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver for the duration of the emergency declaration. A CLIA waiver is critical to the marketability of a product into the POC diagnostics market. With regard to future products for which we may seek a CLIA waiver from FDA, any failure or material delay to obtain such waiver could harm our business and could harm the marketability of our products to the POC diagnostics market.

We are subject to stringent and changing privacy laws, information security laws, regulations, policies and contractual obligations related to data privacy and security. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our reputation, subject us to significant fines and liability, or otherwise adversely affect our business.

We collect, store, process and transmit sensitive data, including legally protected health information, personal information, intellectual property and proprietary business information. As we seek to expand our

business, we are, and will increasingly become, subject to numerous state, federal and foreign laws, regulations and standards, as well as contractual obligations, relating to the collection, use, retention, security, disclosure, transfer and other processing of sensitive and personal information in the jurisdictions in which we operate. In many cases, these laws, regulations and standards apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of information between or among us, our subsidiaries and other parties with which we have commercial relationships and our subsidiaries’ own data collection and processing practices. These laws, regulations and standards may be interpreted and applied differently over time and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is possible that they will be interpreted and applied in ways that will materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The regulatory framework for data privacy, data security and data transfers worldwide is rapidly evolving, and there has been an increasing focus on privacy and data protection issues with the potential to affect our business, and as a result, interpretation and implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Failure to comply with any of these laws and regulations could result in enforcement actions against us, including fines, imprisonment of company officials and public censure, claims for damages by affected individuals, damage to our reputation and loss of goodwill, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

There are numerous E.U., U.K. and U.S. federal and state laws and regulations related to the privacy and security of health information. These laws and regulations include HIPAA, as amended by the HITECH Act, and their respective implementing regulations, which establish a set of national privacy and security standards for the protection of protected health information by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services. HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to protected health information that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information and ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic protected health information. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights may impose penalties for a failure to comply with a requirement of HIPAA. Penalties will vary significantly depending on factors such as the date of the violation, whether the failure to comply was known or should have been known, or whether the failure was due to willful neglect. These penalties include significant civil monetary penalties, criminal penalties and, in certain instances, imprisonment. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts may award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of protected health information. Furthermore, in the event of a breach as defined by HIPAA, we may be required to comply with specific reporting requirements under HIPAA regulations. In the event of a significant breach, the reporting requirements could include notification to the general public. Enforcement activity can result in reputational harm, and responses to such enforcement activity can consume significant internal resources. Additionally, if we are unable to properly protect the privacy and security of protected health information we create, receive, maintain, or transmit on behalf of our covered entity customers, we could be found to have breached our contracts as well as HIPAA and other applicable data privacy and security laws. Determining whether protected health information has been handled in compliance with applicable privacy standards and our contractual obligations can be complex and we cannot be sure how these regulations will be interpreted, enforced or applied to our operations.

In addition, many states in which we operate have laws that protect the privacy and security of sensitive and personal information. Certain state laws may be more stringent or broader in scope, or offer greater individual rights, with respect to sensitive and personal information than federal, international or other state laws, and such laws may differ from each other, which may complicate compliance efforts. Where state laws are more protective than HIPAA, we must comply with the state laws we are subject to, in addition to HIPAA. In certain cases, it may be necessary to modify our planned operations and procedures to comply with these more stringent state laws. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, or the CCPA, which increases privacy rights for California residents and imposes stringent data privacy and security obligations on companies that process

their personal information, came into effect on January 1, 2020. Among other things, the CCPA requires covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers and provide such consumers new data protection and privacy rights, including the ability to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. However, certain personal information, such as information that is subject to HIPAA or clinical trial regulations, is exempt from the CCPA. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for certain data breaches that result in the loss of personal information. This private right of action may increase the likelihood of, and risks associated with, data breach litigation. Further, there is uncertainty with respect to how various provisions of the CCPA will be interpreted and enforced. While the implementing regulations have not been finalized to date, the California State Attorney General’s authority to enforce the statutory provisions commenced as of July 1, 2020. While any information we maintain in our role as a business associate may be exempt from the CCPA, other records and information we maintain on our customers may be subject to the CCPA. Additionally, a new California ballot initiative, the California Privacy Rights Act, or CPRA, recently passed in California. While it also would likely exempt personal information that we handle as a business associate, the CPRA will impose additional data protection obligations on companies doing business in California, including additional consumer rights processes, limitations on data uses, new audit requirements for higher risk data, and opt outs for certain uses of sensitive data. It will also create a new California data protection agency authorized to issue substantive regulations and could result in increased privacy and information security enforcement. The majority of the provisions will go into effect on January 1, 2023, and additional compliance investment and potential business process changes may be required. Further, new health information standards, whether implemented pursuant to HIPAA, the HITECH Act, congressional action or otherwise, could have a significant effect on the manner in which we handle health-related information, and the cost of complying with these standards could be significant. If we do not comply with existing or new laws and regulations related to patient health information, we could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions. New legislation and state constitutional amendments proposed or enacted in several U.S. states impose, or have the potential to impose, additional obligations on companies that collect, store, use, retain, disclose, transfer and otherwise process confidential, sensitive and personal information, and will continue to shape the data privacy environment nationally. State laws are changing rapidly and there is discussion in Congress of a new federal data protection and privacy law to which we could become subject if it is enacted. All of these evolving compliance and operational requirements impose significant costs that are likely to increase over time, may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies, divert resources from other initiatives and projects, and could restrict the way products and services involving data are offered, all of which may have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Laws, regulations and standards in many foreign jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, retention, security, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal information, which impose significant compliance obligations. For example, in the E.U. and the U.K., the processing of personal data, including clinical trial data, is governed by the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), or the GDPR, in the E.U. The U.K. GDPR read alongside the U.K. DPA are the applicable laws in the U.K. Following the U.K.’s withdrawal from the E.U. on January 31, 2020, pursuant to the transitional arrangements agreed between the U.K. and E.U., the E.U. GDPR continued to have effect in U.K. law, until December 31, 2020. Following December 31, 2020, the GDPR does not have direct effect in the U.K. However, the U.K.’s E.U. (Withdrawal) Act 2018 incorporated the GDPR (as it existed on December 31, 2020 but subject to certain U.K. specific amendments) into U.K. law (referred to as the U.K. GDPR). The U.K. GDPR (as amended) and U.K. DPA set out the U.K.’s data protection regime, which is independent from but equivalent to the E.U.’s regime. The requirements for processing personal data under the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA largely align with those under the GDPR. The GDPR, the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA impose stringent data privacy and security requirements on both processors and controllers of personal data, including health data and other personal data collected during clinical trials. In particular, the GDPR imposes requirements relating to ensuring there is a lawful basis for processing personal data, extends the rights of individuals to whom the personal data relates, materially expands the definition of what is expressly noted to constitute personal data, requires additional disclosures about how personal data is to be used, imposes limitations on retention of personal data, imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the EEA and/or U.K. to third countries (noting also that if the U.K. receives personal data

from the E.U., the U.K. will be treated as a third country for the purposes of the GDPR; although under the E.U.-U.K. Trade and Cooperation Agreement it is lawful to transfer personal data between the U.K. and E.U. for a six month bridging period), creates mandatory data breach notification requirements in certain circumstances, and establishes onerous new obligations on service providers who process personal data simply on behalf of others in connection with their E.U. or U.K. establishment. The GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA authorize competent authorities to impose penalties and fines for certain violations of up to 4% of an undertaking’s total global annual revenue for the preceding financial year or €20 million (or £17.5 million under the U.K. DPA), whichever is greater. In addition to administrative fines, a wide variety of other potential enforcement powers are available to competent authorities in respect of potential and suspected violations of the GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA, including extensive audit and inspection rights, and powers to order temporary or permanent bans on all or some processing of personal data carried out by noncompliant actors. European data protection authorities, and the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office, may interpret the GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA, and national laws differently and impose additional requirements, which contributes to the complexity of processing personal data in or from, or between, the EEA and/or U.K. Given the breadth and depth of changes in data protection obligations, complying with its requirements has caused us to expend significant resources and such expenditures are likely to continue into the near future as we respond to new interpretations, additional guidance, and potential enforcement actions and patterns. While we have taken steps to comply with the GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA, and implementing legislation in the U.K. and applicable member states, including by seeking to establish appropriate lawful bases for the various processing activities we carry out as a controller, reviewing our security procedures, and entering into data processing agreements with relevant customers and business partners, we cannot assure you that our efforts to achieve and remain in compliance have been, and/or will continue to be, fully successful.

We make public statements about our use and disclosure of personal information through our privacy policy, information provided on our internet platform and press statements. Although we endeavor to comply with our public statements and documentation, we may at times fail to do so or be alleged to have failed to do so. Moreover, despite our efforts, we may not be successful in achieving compliance if our employees, consultants, or vendors fail to comply with our published policies, certifications and documentation. The publication of our privacy policy and other statements that provide promises and assurances about data privacy and security can subject us to potential government or legal action if they are found to be deceptive, unfair or misrepresentative of our actual practices. Any failure, real or perceived, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any legal or regulatory requirements, standards, certifications or orders or other privacy or consumer protection-related laws and regulations applicable to us could cause our customers to reduce their use of our products and services and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In many jurisdictions, enforcement actions and consequences for non-compliance can be significant and are rising. In addition, from time to time, concerns may be expressed about whether our products, services or processes compromise the privacy of customers and others. Concerns about our practices with regard to the collection, use, retention, security, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal information or other privacy-related matters, even if unfounded, could damage our reputation and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Many statutory requirements, both in the U.S. and abroad, include obligations for companies to notify individuals of security breaches involving certain personal information, which could result from breaches experienced by us or our third-party service providers. For example, laws in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia require businesses to provide notice to consumers whose sensitive personal information has been disclosed as a result of a data breach. These laws are not consistent, and compliance in the event of a widespread data breach is difficult and may be costly. Moreover, states have been frequently amending existing laws, requiring attention to changing regulatory requirements. We also may be contractually required to notify customers or other counterparties of a security breach. Although we may have contractual protections with our third-party service providers, contractors and consultants, any actual or perceived security breach could harm our reputation and brand, expose us to potential liability or require us to expend significant resources on data security and in responding to any such actual or perceived breach. Any contractual protections we may have from our

third-party service providers, contractors or consultants may not be sufficient to adequately protect us from any such liabilities and losses, and we may be unable to enforce any such contractual protections.

In addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits, regulatory investigations, public censure, other claims and penalties, and significant costs for remediation and damage to our reputation, we could be materially and adversely affected if legislation or regulations are expanded in a manner that requires changes in our data processing practices and policies or if governing jurisdictions interpret or implement their legislation or regulations in ways that negatively impact our business. Complying with these various laws could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices and compliance procedures in a manner adverse to our business. Any inability to adequately address data privacy or security-related concerns, even if unfounded, or to comply with applicable laws, regulations, standards and other obligations relating to data privacy and security, could result in additional cost and liability to us, harm our reputation and brand, damage our relationships with customers and have a material and adverse impact on our business.

If the validity of an informed consent from a patient enrolled in a clinical trial was challenged, we could be forced to stop using some of our resources, which would hinder our product development efforts.

We have implemented measures to ensure that all clinical data and genetic and other biological samples that we receive from our collaborators have been collected from subjects who have provided appropriate informed consent for purposes which extend to our product development activities. We seek to ensure these data and samples are provided to us on a subject de-identified or pseudonymized manner. We also have measures in place to ensure that the subjects from whom the data and samples are collected do not retain or have conferred on them any proprietary or commercial rights to the data or any discoveries derived from them. Our clinical research organization, or CRO, collaborators conduct clinical trials in a number of different countries, and, to a large extent, we rely upon them to comply with the subject’s informed consent and with local law and international regulation. The collection of data and samples in many different countries results in complex legal questions regarding the adequacy of informed consent and the status of genetic material under a large number of different legal systems. The subject’s informed consent obtained in any particular country could be challenged and/or withdrawn in the future, and those informed consents could prove invalid, unlawful, or otherwise inadequate for our purposes. Any findings against us, or our collaborators, could deny us access to or force us to stop using some of our clinical samples, which would hinder our product development efforts. We could become involved in legal challenges, which could consume our management and financial resources.

The sales of our products in Europe and, for the time being, the U.K., are regulated through a process that either requires self-certification or certification by a European Notified Body in order to affix a CE Mark. Such processes are uncertain, particularly in light of changes to the regulatory framework. There may be a risk of delay in placing our products on the market and, once on the market, a risk of review and challenges to certain certified statuses.

Currently, until May 25, 2022, the majority of our products (including our Instrument for use with the INR test by users other than for self-testing, the INR test and control, INRstar and our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test, SARS CoV-2 antibody test and D-Dimer test) are regulated through a self-declaration process, whereby we declare that the product meets the essential requirements of the European Directive on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (98/79/EC). We also have a number of products that we expect to come to market in the European Economic Area that we will self-declare compliant against this directive. After the launch of any products, we may be subject to challenges by European Regulatory Authorities if there are issues that arise that question the safety and performance of these products. Such challenges may arise from a routine audit by a regulatory authority, due to device vigilance reports submitted by us, Field Safety Corrective Actions being initiated by us or the regulatory authority, or complaints made by competitors, whether those complaints are founded or not.

We also have a number of products (including our Instrument for use by patients for self-testing and certain test strips that would fall within Annex II of the European Directive on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (98/79/EC)),

which will likely enter the market prior to May 26, 2022 and that cannot be regulated through a self-declaration process under the European Directive on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (98/79/EC). Such products will require their compliance with this directive reviewed and certified by a European Notified Body. We have engaged with a European Notified Body (BSI, TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rheinland and DEKRA); however, they have yet to start reviewing technical documentation for the products. Therefore, there is a risk of delay in getting these products to market if the Notified Body has capacity constraints and/or if the Notified Body has any issues with our technical documentation.

Prior to May 26, 2022, the ability to continue to sell products using the self-declaration process of the European Directive on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (98/79/EC) is unaffected by the European Regulation on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (Regulation (EU) 2017/746). However, before May 26, 2022 and in order to continue to sell products in the E.U. after that date, most of our products that are in-vitro diagnostic devices will need to be evaluated by a European Notified Body in order to comply with the new European Regulation on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (2017/746/EU), which replaces the aforementioned European Directive on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (98/79/EC). The Regulation provides for a transition period that allows products that have certificates issued by European Notified Bodies under the Directive prior to May 26, 2022 to continue to be placed on the market until May 26, 2024 and, where they have been placed on the market prior to that date, to be distributed and supplied until May 26, 2025. However, most of our products are self-certified so will not be eligible for this transition period and those that are would lose the benefit if any significant changes have to be made to the product after May 26, 2022. Therefore, we do not intend to rely on this transition period.

Nevertheless, it should be appreciated that there is a severe shortage of capacity of the European Notified Bodies to assess all IVD devices that will require Notified Body certification under the Regulation, and that it is widely recognized that not all applications for assessment by Notified Bodies will be approved before the deadline of May 25, 2022. While we have taken a proactive approach to mitigate this risk, including approaching all the IVDR accredited Notified Bodies (BSI, TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rheinland and DEKRA) and the candidate IVDR Notified Body (SGS), a European Notified Body (TÜV Germany and BSI) and restructuring our quality management systems and technical documentation to align with the IVDR requirements, there can be no assurance that our ability to market IVD devices in the E.U. in the future will not be interrupted and this could, in turn, have a negative impact on our business and operating results.

We take our responsibilities as a manufacturer of medical devices seriously and where possible take all voluntary measures to have independent third parties assess our designs and processes. This includes certification to the international standard for quality management, ISO 13485:2016 by LRQA, an accredited management systems certification body, testing of our Instrument to the international standard for electrical safety, IEC 61010-1:2015 / IEC 61010-2-101:2015 by CSA International an independent and accredited safety certification body, and for the international standard for electromagnetic compatibility, IEC 61326-2-6:2012 by ETS Ltd, an independent and accredited EMC test laboratory.

We also offer a number of products (including Connect Manager, EHR Connect, and the Engage app) that we do not believe come within the scope of the European Directive on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (98/79/EC) or the European Regulation on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (Regulation (EU) 2017/746) nor come within the scope of the European Directive on Medical Devices (93/42/EEC) or the European Regulation on Medical Devices (Regulation (EU) 2017/745). There is a risk we may be subject to challenges by European Regulatory Authorities regarding the classification of these products, particularly if there was a question about safety or performance stemming from a user or a complaint from a competitor.

LumiraDx UK Ltd is the legal manufacturer and regulatory owner of our products and is based in the U.K. The U.K.’s departure from the E.U., or Brexit, and the future relationship of the U.K. with the E.U. remains uncertain and there may be delays and barriers in obtaining access to the European Economic Area.

Following the U.K.’s prior departure from the E.U., the U.K. continued to follow the same regulations as the E.U. until the end of 2020, or the Transition Period. Now that the Transition Period has ended, there will be some

regulatory divergence in the U.K. from the E.U. and the new UKCA mark will replace the E.U. CE Mark in Great Britain, or G.B. (CE Marks or CE UKNI Marks will be required in Northern Ireland). E.U. CE Marks will continue to be recognized in G.B. for medical devices until June 30, 2023, however all medical devices and IVDs must be registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, in order to be placed on the G.B. market (subject to certain grace periods depending on the risk class of the medical device/IVD). The E.U. legal framework remains applicable in Northern Ireland (indeed any products placed on the market in the NI must be compliant with E.U. law). From July 1, 2023 a UKCA mark will be required in order to place a device on the G.B. market, however manufacturers can use the UKCA mark on a voluntary basis prior to July 1, 2023 if they wish to do so. The nature of any new regulation in the U.K. is uncertain, and as such, we may experience delays in obtaining future access to the U.K. and other European markets. U.K.’s prior departure from the E.U. has also impacted customs regulations and impacted timing and easy of shipments into the E.U. from U.K.

Under the European Directive on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (98/79/EC) and then under the In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (2017/746), legal manufacturers located outside of the E.U./European Economic Area are required to appoint an authorized representative that is domiciled in a Member State within the E.U./European Economic Area. Given the uncertainty at the end of the Transition Period, we have established our own dedicated authorized representative in the E.U. After considering a number of factors, including location, language capabilities, communication efficiencies and transparency considerations, we appointed LumiraDx AB, a LumiraDx affiliate domiciled in Sweden, as an authorized representative. Our regulatory experts are actively engaged through relevant industry bodies, such as the British In-Vitro Diagnostics Association, or BIVDA, to proactively communicate with the U.K. government on any new proposed regulatory regime applicable in the U.K.

We intend to export our products to numerous countries outside of the European Economic Area. Many other countries require certificates of free sales, or CFS, and/or certificates of foreign government, or CFG, as a condition of allowing the importation of medical devices from a relevant country of origin. One of the typical prerequisites to the issuance of CFS and CFG certificates is the requirement that the products being certified are legally marketed in their country of origin. Now that the Transition Period has ended and the U.K. has its own independent regulatory regime, we may face delays due to the new U.K. regulatory regime, which may in turn cause us to experience delays in obtaining requisite certificates and regulatory clearance in other countries. Additionally, as a result of Brexit, we, as a U.K. based manufacturer, will no longer be able to utilize a number of Mutual Recognition Agreements and Technical Cooperation Programs that the E.U. has agreed with other countries (subject to any agreement reached to the contrary), and therefore we may suffer delays in obtaining requisite regulatory clearances in other countries. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We could be adversely affected by violations of the FCPA and other worldwide anti-bribery laws, export and import controls, sanctions, embargoes, and anti-money laundering laws and regulations.

Various of our activities may be subject to export control and import laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, U.S. Customs regulations, various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls, the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, and other state and national anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees, agents, contractors, and other collaborators from authorizing, promising, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or anything else of value to recipients in the public or private sector. Our reliance on independent distributors to sell our Platform internationally demands a high degree of vigilance in maintaining our policy against participation in corrupt activity, because these distributors could be deemed to be our agents, and we could be held responsible for their actions. Other U.S. companies in the medical device and pharmaceutical field have faced criminal penalties under the FCPA for allowing their agents to deviate from appropriate practices in doing business with these individuals. We are also subject to similar anti-bribery laws in

the other jurisdictions in which we operate, including the U.K.’s Bribery Act 2010, which also prohibits commercial bribery and makes it a crime for companies to fail to prevent bribery. These laws are complex and far-reaching in nature, and, as a result, we cannot assure you that we would not be required in the future to alter one or more of our practices to be in compliance with these laws or any changes in these laws or the interpretation thereof. Any violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our operations, involve significant management distraction, involve significant costs and expenses, including legal fees, and could result in a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations or our reputation. We could also suffer severe penalties, including substantial criminal and civil penalties, imprisonment, disgorgement, reputational harm and other remedial measures. We ship a significant number of Platforms into Africa as part of our collaboration with BMGF. Various countries have export control and embargo restrictions which require to be managed and monitored.

Our activities in the United States subject us to various laws relating to foreign investment and the export of certain technologies, and our failure to comply with these laws or adequately monitor the compliance of our suppliers and others we do business with could subject us to substantial fines, penalties and even injunctions, the imposition of which on us could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business.

Because we have a U.S. subsidiary and substantial operations in the United States, we are subject to U.S. laws and regulations that regulate foreign investments in U.S. businesses and access by foreign persons to technology developed and produced in the U.S. These laws include Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018, and the regulations at 31 C.F.R. Parts 800, 801, and 802, as amended, administered by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States; and the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, which is being implemented in part through Commerce Department rulemakings to impose new export control restrictions on “emerging and foundational technologies” yet to be fully identified. Application of these laws, including as they are implemented through regulations being developed, may negatively impact our business in various ways, including by restricting our access to capital and markets; limiting the collaborations we may pursue; regulating the export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) of our products, services, and technology from the United States and abroad; increasing our costs and the time necessary to obtain required authorizations and to ensure compliance; and threatening monetary fines and other penalties if we do not.

Intellectual Property Risks Related to Our Business

If we are unable to obtain and maintain patent and other intellectual property protection for products we develop and for our technology, or if the scope of intellectual property protection obtained is not sufficient, our competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize any products we may develop may be adversely affected.

Our success depends in large part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other intellectual property protection in the United States and other countries for our Platform in its current or an updated form and other products. Patent law as applied to inventions in the fields in which we operate is complex and uncertain, so we cannot make any assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain patent or other intellectual property rights, or that the patent and other intellectual property rights we may obtain will be valuable, provide an effective barrier to competitors or otherwise provide competitive advantages. If we are unable to obtain or maintain patent or other intellectual property protection with respect to our proprietary products, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially harmed.

Changes in the patent laws or in the interpretation thereof in the United States and other countries may diminish our ability to protect our inventions and to obtain, maintain, and enforce our intellectual property rights; more generally, such changes could affect the value of our intellectual property, including by limiting the potential scope of patent coverage that we can obtain. We cannot predict whether any particular patent applications we are currently pursuing will be granted as a patent or whether the claims of any particular patents, if obtained, will provide sufficient exclusivity over our competitors.

The patent prosecution process is expensive, time-consuming, and complex, and we may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce, or license all necessary or desirable patent applications or patents at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patent-eligible aspects of our research and development output in time to obtain patent protection. Although we enter into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, and other parties who have access to confidential aspects of our research and development output, including aspects that may be patent-eligible, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose such output before we are able to file a patent application directed to the disclosed subject matter, thereby jeopardizing our ability to seek patent protection for that subject matter. In addition, publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after the priority date, or in some cases not at all prior to issuance. Therefore, we cannot be certain that we were the first to make the inventions claimed in our patents or pending patent applications, or that we were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions.

The patent position of companies in our industry generally is unsettled, involves complex legal and factual questions, and has been the subject of much litigation in recent years. Whether our pending and future patent applications will be granted and the scope, validity, enforceability, and commercial value of any patents we have obtained are highly uncertain. Our pending and future patent applications may not result in patents that protect any new products or our Platform in its current or an updated form. Our pending and future patent applications may not effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive products.

Moreover, the claim scope being pursued in a patent application may need to be significantly reduced or otherwise altered in order to achieve grant of a patent, and the scope of a patent can be reinterpreted after issuance. Even if a patent application is issued as a patent, the granted claims may not provide us with any meaningful protection, prevent others from competing with us, or otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage. Any patents that we hold may be challenged, narrowed, circumvented, or invalidated by third parties. Consequently, we do not know whether any of our products will be protectable or remain protected by valid and enforceable patents. Our competitors and other third parties may be able to circumvent our patents by developing similar or alternative products and solutions in a non-infringing manner. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Litigation or other proceedings or third-party claims of intellectual property infringement could require us to spend significant time and money and could prevent us from selling our products or impact our stock price.

Third parties may assert that we are using their patented or other proprietary technology without their authorization. As we continue to commercialize our Platform in its current or an updated form, launch new products, and enter new markets, we expect that, as part of business strategies designed to impede our successful commercialization and entry into new markets or otherwise, competitors will claim that our products or services infringe their intellectual property rights. Third parties, including, for example, one or more of our competitors listed in the section titled “Business of LumiraDx - Competition” beginning on page 170, may have obtained, and may in the future obtain, patents under which such third parties may claim that the use of our technologies constitutes patent infringement. For example, we are aware of third-party patents in the United States and Europe expiring in 2021 that contain claims that may be relevant to our SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR and SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR Complete molecular test kits, which are commercially available in the United States (pursuant to an EUA) and in Europe. If a patent infringement action based on one or more of these patents were to be brought against us, we might have to argue that our kits or the manufacture or use thereof do not infringe any valid claim of the asserted patent(s); and there would be no assurance that a court would find in our favor on issues of infringement or validity of such patents. Furthermore, because a patent application generally is unavailable to the public until 18 months from the priority date (and, at least in the United States, can optionally be kept secret until the patent is granted), we have no way of knowing, at any given time, whether others have filed new patent applications directed to technologies that we or our collaborators will use.

Intellectual property litigation is costly, and even if we prevail, the substantial cost of such litigation could affect our business and financial condition. Intellectual property litigation may also be lengthy and time-consuming and may divert the attention of our management and technical personnel in defending ourselves against any of these claims. Any adverse ruling or perception of an adverse ruling in defending ourselves against these claims could have a material adverse impact on our cash position, reputation and stock price. Furthermore, parties making claims against us may be able to obtain injunctive or other relief, which could block our ability to develop, commercialize, and sell products. In the event of a successful claim against us of infringement or misappropriation, we may be required to pay substantial damages to and obtain one or more licenses from third parties, or we may be prohibited from selling certain products, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our cash position and business and financial condition. Moreover, any licenses that we are compelled to obtain may be nonexclusive, and therefore our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to us. If we fail to obtain a required license or are unable to design around a patent, we may be unable to sell some of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

In addition, we may be unable to obtain any required licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all. We could therefore incur substantial costs relating to royalty payments for licenses obtained from third parties, which could negatively affect our gross margins. Moreover, we could encounter delays in product introductions while we attempt to develop alternative methods or products. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any required licenses on favorable terms could prevent us from commercializing products, and the prohibition of sale of any of our products would materially affect our ability to grow and maintain profitability and would have a material adverse impact on our business.

Developments in patent law could have a negative impact on our business.

Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of patent laws could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of patent applications and the enforcement or defense of granted patents. From time to time, the United States Supreme Court, or the Supreme Court, other federal courts, the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO, or courts or patent offices or authorities in other jurisdictions may change the standards of patentability or patent eligibility, and any such changes could have a negative impact on our business. Generally, jurisdictions outside the United States have a “first to file” patent system. In the United States, prior to March 2013, the “first to invent” a claimed invention was entitled to the patent (assuming that all other requirements were met). Following the passage of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, or the America Invents Act, the United States transitioned to a “first inventor to file” system, under which the first inventor to file a patent application on an invention is entitled to the patent (assuming that all other requirements are met) even if another party was the first to invent the claimed invention. The America Invents Act also included a number of significant changes that affect the way patent applications are prosecuted and that also may affect patent litigation. These include the introduction of derivation proceedings; expansion of the permitted content of third-party submissions to the USPTO during patent prosecution; and additional procedures to challenge the validity of a patent after issuance, including post-grant review and inter partes review. The America Invents Act and its continued implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

In addition, the patent positions of companies in our industry are particularly uncertain. Recent Supreme Court rulings have narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances and weakened the rights of patent owners in certain situations. For example, diagnostic method claims and “gene patents” were considered in two landmark Supreme Court cases, Mayo Collaborative v. Prometheus Laboratories, or Prometheus, and Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, or Myriad. In Prometheus, a case involving patent claims to a medical testing method directed to optimizing the amount of drug administered to a specific patient, patentee’s claims were deemed not to incorporate inventive content, above and beyond merely describing underlying natural correlations, sufficient to render the claimed processes patent-eligible. In Myriad, a case brought by multiple plaintiffs challenging the validity of patent claims relating to the breast cancer

susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, the court held that isolated genomic DNA that exists in nature, such as the DNA constituting the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, is not patent-eligible subject matter, but that cDNA, which is an artificial construct created from RNA transcripts of genes, may be patent eligible. The Federal Circuit has begun to apply the holdings in Prometheus and Myriad. For example, in 2015, the Federal Circuit in Ariosa v. Sequenom, or Ariosa, applying Prometheus, found claims to a prenatal diagnostic method that relied on a natural product to be patent ineligible. A number of appeals to the Federal Circuit in subsequent cases, such as Athena v. Mayo, or Athena, have been decided in a similar way.

We cannot fully predict what impact the Supreme Court’s decisions in Prometheus and Myriad and other decisions, such as the Federal Circuit’s decisions in Ariosa and Athena, may have on our ability or the ability of companies or other entities to obtain or enforce patents relating to diagnostic and therapeutic methods, DNA, genes, or genomic-related discoveries in the future. Despite the precedent set forth in these decisions, the contours of when claims reciting laws of nature, natural phenomena, or abstract ideas may meet the patent eligibility requirements are not clear and may take years to develop via application at the USPTO and interpretation in the courts. There are many patents claiming nucleic acids and diagnostic methods based on natural correlations that were issued before the recent Supreme Court decisions discussed above, and although many of these patents may be invalid under the standards set forth in the Supreme Court’s recent decisions, until successfully challenged, these patents are presumed valid and enforceable, and the patentees could allege that we infringe, or request that we obtain a license to, one or more of these patents. Whether the patents were issued prior to or after these Supreme Court decisions, we might have to defend ourselves against claims of infringement, or we might have to obtain licenses, if available. In any of the foregoing or in other situations involving third-party intellectual property rights, if we are unsuccessful in defending against claims of patent infringement, we could be forced to pay damages or be subjected to an injunction that would prevent us from using the patented subject matter in question if we are unable to obtain a license on reasonable terms or at all. Such outcomes could materially affect our ability to offer our products and services and could have a material adverse impact on our business. Even if we are able to obtain a license or to successfully defend against claims of patent infringement, the cost and distraction associated with the defense or settlement of these claims could have a material adverse impact on our business. Any of the foregoing could materially harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to protect or enforce our intellectual property effectively, which could harm our competitive position.

Obtaining and maintaining a strong patent position is important to our business. No patent application is guaranteed to mature into a patent, and we cannot predict the total pendency of any application that does become a patent. Moreover, the granted patent rights may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from marketing products similar to ours or from designing around our patents. Patent law relating to the scope and validity of claims in the technology fields in which we operate is complex and uncertain, so we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain or maintain patent rights, or that the patent rights we may obtain will be valuable, provide an effective barrier to competitors, or otherwise provide competitive advantages. Others may have filed, and in the future may file, patent applications directed to subject matter similar or even identical to ours. To determine the priority of inventions or demonstrate that we did not derive our invention from another, we may have to participate in interference or derivation proceedings that could result in substantial costs in legal fees and could substantially affect the scope of our patent protection. We cannot be certain that our patent applications will prevail over those filed by others. Also, our intellectual property rights may be subject to other challenges by third parties. Patents we obtain could be challenged in litigation or in administrative proceedings such as ex parte reexamination, inter partes review, or post grant review in the United States or opposition proceedings in Europe or other jurisdictions and may be found to be invalid or unenforceable.

Obtaining and maintaining a patent portfolio entails significant expense and resources. Part of the expense includes periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees, and other governmental fees for patents and/or applications due in several stages over the lifetime of patents and/or applications, as well as the costs associated

with complying with numerous procedural provisions during the patent application process. We may or may not choose to pursue or maintain protection for particular inventions. In addition, there are situations in which failure to make certain payments or noncompliance with certain requirements in the patent process can result in irrevocable abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the respective jurisdiction. If we choose to forgo patent protection or allow a patent application or patent to lapse purposefully or inadvertently, our competitive position could suffer.

Legal actions to enforce our patent rights can be expensive and may involve the diversion of significant management time. In addition, these legal actions could be unsuccessful and could also result in the invalidation of our patents or a finding that they are unenforceable. We may or may not choose to pursue litigation or other proceedings against those who have infringed our patent rights, and we may or may not choose to monitor for infringing activity, taking into consideration the expense and time commitment associated with such enforcement and monitoring. If we fail to protect or to enforce our intellectual property rights successfully, our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our results of operations.

We depend on trademarks to establish a market identity for our company and our Platform. To maintain the value of our trademarks, we may have to file lawsuits against third parties to prevent them from using trademarks confusingly similar to or dilutive of our registered or unregistered trademarks. We also may not obtain registrations for our pending or future trademark applications and might have to defend our registered trademarks and pending applications from challenges by third parties. Enforcing or defending our registered and unregistered trademarks might result in significant litigation costs and, if we are unsuccessful, might result in damages, including the inability to continue using certain trademarks.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed.

In addition to patent protection, we also rely upon trade secret protection, as well as non-disclosure agreements and invention assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and third-parties, to protect our confidential and proprietary information. For example, significant elements of our Platform, including, for example, the manufacture of our test strips, are protected by trade secrets and know-how that are not publicly disclosed. In addition to contractual measures, we try to protect the confidential nature of our proprietary information using physical and technological security measures. Such measures may not, for example, in the case of misappropriation of a trade secret by an employee or third party with authorized access, provide adequate protection for our proprietary information. Our security measures may not prevent an employee or consultant from misappropriating our trade secrets and providing them to a competitor, and any recourse we may have against such misconduct may not result in a remedy that protects our interests fully. Enforcing a claim that a party has illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, information that is a trade secret may be independently developed by others, which would prevent legal recourse for us. If any of our confidential or proprietary information, such as our trade secrets, were to be disclosed or misappropriated, or if any such information were to be independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position could be harmed.

Our use of “open source” software could adversely affect our ability to offer our services and subject us to possible litigation.

We may use open source software in connection with our products and services. Companies that incorporate open source software into their products have, from time to time, faced claims challenging the use of open source software and/or compliance with open source licensing terms. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software or claiming noncompliance with open source licensing terms. Some open source software licenses require users who distribute software containing open source software to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such software and/or make available any derivative works of the open source code, which could include valuable proprietary code of the user, on

unfavorable terms or at no cost. While we monitor the use of open source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our proprietary source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open source agreement, such use could inadvertently occur, in part because open source licensing terms are often ambiguous. Any requirement to disclose our proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could help our competitors develop products and services that are similar to or better than ours.

We may not be able to enforce our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

The laws of some countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.K. or of the U.S. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in certain such countries. The legal systems of some countries, particularly low and middle income countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection, especially those relating to medical diagnostics. This could make it difficult for us to prevent or stop the infringement of our patents, if obtained, or the misappropriation of our other intellectual property rights. For example, many countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner must grant licenses to third parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against parties such as government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, patents may provide limited or no benefit. Patent protection must ultimately be sought on a country-by-country basis, which is an expensive and time-consuming process with uncertain outcomes. Because patent and other intellectual property laws differ in each country, our intellectual property rights may not receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as they would in the U.K. or the U.S. Accordingly, we may choose not to seek patent protection in certain countries, and if so, we will not have the benefit of patent protection in such countries. Moreover, we may not be able to predict all of the countries where patent protection ultimately will be desirable, for commercialization or marketing purposes or otherwise. If we fail to timely file a patent application for an invention in any country, we may be precluded from doing so at a later date, and we therefore would be unable to obtain patent protection for that invention in that country.

Additionally, the laws pertaining to patent ownership and assignment may differ from country to country. If we fail to obtain proper assignments for any inventions developed by us and/or our employees, or for any invention that we otherwise acquire rights to, we may lose rights to patent protection for those inventions, which may cause our competitive position to suffer.

Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in jurisdictions worldwide could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights in any particular jurisdiction may be inadequate. In addition, changes in the law and legal decisions by courts in jurisdictions worldwide may affect our ability to obtain adequate protection for our technology and the enforcement of intellectual property.

Third parties may assert that our employees or consultants have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information or misappropriated trade secrets.

Many of our employees, including members of our senior management, were previously employed at other diagnostic companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. Although we try to ensure that our employees and consultants do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we or our employees, consultants or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed intellectual property, including trade secrets or other proprietary information, of a former employer or other third parties. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees.

In addition, while we typically require our employees, consultants and contractors who may be involved in the development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, we may be unsuccessful in obtaining such an agreement from each party who in fact develops intellectual property during the course of employment, consultancy, or contractual arrangement, respectively, which may result in claims by or against us relating to the ownership of such intellectual property. If we fail in prosecuting or defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights. Even if we are successful in prosecuting or defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to our senior management and scientific personnel.

If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest.

Our pending and future trademark applications in the U.K., the U.S. and other jurisdictions may not be allowed or may be opposed. Once filed and registered, our trademarks or trade names may be challenged, infringed, circumvented or declared generic. Our use of our trademarks or trade names may be determined to infringe the trademarks or trade names of others. To enforce our trademark rights and prevent infringement, we may be required to file trademark claims against third parties or initiate trademark opposition proceedings. This can be expensive and time-consuming, particularly for a company of our size. We may not ultimately be able to protect our trademarks and trade names, which we need to build name recognition among potential collaborators or customers in our markets of interest. At times, competitors may adopt trade names or trademarks similar to ours, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to market confusion. Over the long term, if we are unable to establish name recognition based on our trademarks and trade names, then we may not be able to compete effectively, and our business may be adversely affected. Our efforts to enforce or protect our proprietary rights related to trademarks, trade secrets, domain names, copyrights or other intellectual property may be ineffective and could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If we fail to comply with our obligations under our licenses with third parties, we could lose license rights that are important to our business.

We are a party to license agreements pursuant to which we in-license certain patents and other intellectual property. Each of our existing licenses imposes various obligations on us. If we fail to comply with these obligations, our licensors may have the right to terminate the license, in which event we would not be able to use the licensed intellectual property.

We may have limited control over the maintenance and prosecution of these in-licensed rights, activities or any other intellectual property that may be related to our in-licensed intellectual property. For example, we cannot be certain that such activities by these licensors have been or will be conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations or will result in valid and enforceable patents and other intellectual property rights. We have limited control over the manner in which our licensors initiate an infringement proceeding against a third-party infringer of the intellectual property rights, or defend certain of the intellectual property that is licensed to us. It is possible that the licensors’ infringement proceeding or defense activities may be less vigorous than had we conducted them ourselves.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements

We are an early, commercial-stage company and have a limited operating history, which may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and predict our future performance.

We are an early commercial-stage company and have a limited operating history. We began operations in 2014 under the original parent company of the group, LumiraDx Group Limited (incorporated in England and Wales) and the current parent company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in 2016. Our limited operating

history, particularly in light of our business model based upon sales of diagnostic tests enabled by our Platform, may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and predict our future performance. Any assessment of our profitability or prediction about our future success or viability is subject to significant uncertainty. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by early, commercial-stage companies in rapidly evolving industries. If we do not address these risks successfully, our business will suffer.

We have a history of net losses. We may incur net losses in the future and we may never achieve sustained profitability.

We have historically incurred substantial net losses, including a net loss of $240.9 million in 2020. From our inception in 2014 through to December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $607.7 million. Our losses may continue as a result of ongoing research and development expenses and increased sales and marketing costs, as well as other factors. These losses have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our working capital, total assets, and shareholders’ equity. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our research, development, and commercialization efforts, we are unable to predict when we will become profitable, and we may never become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our inability to achieve and then maintain profitability would negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We may require additional capital to fund our existing operations, develop our Platform and Amira System, commercialize new products and expand our operations as currently planned.

Based on our current business plan, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future. If our available cash balances and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements including because of lower demand for our products as a result of lower than currently expected rates of reimbursement from commercial third-party payors and government payors or other risks described in this prospectus, we may seek to sell common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into an additional credit facility or another form of third-party funding, or seek other debt financing.

We may consider raising additional capital in the future to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities, or for other reasons, including to:

•

increase our sales and marketing efforts to drive market adoption of our Platform and address competitive developments;

•

seek approvals, authorizations or clearances from regulatory authorities for our existing and new products;

•

fund development and marketing efforts of any future products;

•

rapidly expand our manufacturing, sales and marketing efforts, including for our SARS-CoV-2 tests and Amira System;

•

expand our technologies to cover additional tests;

•

acquire, license or invest in technologies;

•

acquire or invest in complementary businesses or assets; and

•

finance capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses.

Our present and future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•

our ability to achieve revenue growth;

•

the cost of rapidly expanding our operations and offerings, including our manufacturing, sales and marketing efforts;

•

our rate of progress in, and cost of the sales and marketing activities associated with, establishing adoption of and reimbursement for our Platform;

•

our rate of progress in, and cost of research and development activities associated with, products in research and early development;

•

the effect of competing technological and market developments;

•

costs related to rapid international expansion;

•

our rate of progress in establishing reimbursement arrangements with domestic and international commercial third-party payors and government payors; and

•

the potential cost of and delays in product development as a result of any regulatory oversight applicable to our products.

The various ways we could raise additional capital carry potential risks. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to our shareholders could result. Any equity securities issued also could provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of our LMDX common shares. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, those debt securities would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of holders of our LMDX common shares. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we raise funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to our platform technologies or products or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

The global financial markets have experienced a period of disruption and instability as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, generally increasing the difficulty of accessing the capital and credit markets and resulting in intervention from national governments around the world. Accordingly, additional equity or debt financing might not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we cannot secure additional funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more research and development programs or sales and marketing initiatives. In addition, we may have to work with a third party on one or more of our development programs, which could lower the economic value of those programs to us.

Transformation into a public company may increase our costs and disrupt the regular operations of our business.

This Merger will have a significant transformative effect on us. Our business historically has operated as a privately-owned company, and we expect to incur significant additional legal, accounting, reporting, and other expenses as a result of having publicly traded LMDX common shares. We will also incur costs which we have not incurred previously, including, but not limited to, costs and expenses for increased directors and officers insurance, investor relations, and various other costs of a public company.

We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some management and corporate governance activities more time-consuming and costly, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” These rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. This could have an adverse impact on our ability to retain, recruit and bring on qualified board members. We expect that the additional costs we will incur as a public company, including costs associated with corporate governance requirements, will be considerable relative to our costs as a private company.

The additional demands associated with being a public company may disrupt regular operations of our business by diverting the attention of some of our senior management team away from revenue producing

activities to management and administrative oversight, adversely affecting our ability to attract and complete business opportunities and increasing the difficulty in both retaining professionals and managing and growing our businesses. Any of these effects could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, after the date we are no longer an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm will only be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting depending on our market capitalization. Even if our management concludes that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may still decline to attest to our management’s assessment or may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, in connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify deficiencies that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. Failure to comply with Section 404 could subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanctions, impair our ability to raise capital, cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and negatively affect our share price or cause it to be more volatile.

The ability of our U.S. subsidiaries to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to annual limitations on its ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards or other tax attributes, or NOLs, to offset future taxable income or reduce taxes. We have not determined whether past changes in the ownership of our equity have resulted, or whether the Merger could result, in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code with respect to our U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, future changes in the ownership of our equity, some of which may be outside of our control, could result in ownership changes under Section 382 of the Code with respect to our U.S. subsidiaries. Furthermore, our ability to use NOLs of companies that we may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. For these reasons, we may not be able to use a material portion of the NOLs, even if we attain profitability.

Our results of operations could be materially adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Although a significant portion of our revenues is currently derived in U.S. dollars, we also have significant revenues currently being denominated in other currencies. In addition, we have raised funds in U.S. dollars but a large part of our costs is in Pound Sterling. Unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate revenues, expenses and income, as well as assets and liabilities, into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect during or at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies will affect our net revenues, operating income and the value of balance-sheet items originally denominated in other currencies. These changes cause our growth in consolidated earnings stated in U.S. dollars to be higher or lower than our growth in local currency when compared against other periods.

As we continue to leverage our global delivery model, more of our expenses will be incurred in currencies other than those in which we bill for the related services. An increase in the value of certain currencies against the U.S. dollar or U.K. pound sterling could increase costs for delivery of services at off-shore sites by increasing labor and other costs that are denominated in local currency. There can be no assurance that our contractual provisions will offset their impact, or that any future currency hedging activities, which are designed to partially offset this impact, will be successful. In addition, our future currency hedging activities could themselves be subject to risk. These could include risks related to counterparty performance under future hedging contracts and

risks related to currency fluctuations. We also face risks that extreme economic conditions, political instability or hostilities or disasters of the type described below could impact our underlying exposures, perhaps eliminating them. Such an event could lead to losses being recognized on any future currency hedges then in place, not offset by anticipated changes in the underlying hedge exposure.

We anticipate incurring substantial stock-based compensation expense related to the Founders Equity Awards, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and may result in substantial dilution.

In light of the options granted to the LMDX Founder Directors over 5,009,400 LMDX ordinary shares, which we refer to as the Founders Equity Awards, we anticipate that we will incur substantial stock-based compensation expenses. The initial grant of options over 3,256,000 LMDX ordinary shares were fully vested upon grant. The remaining 1,753,400 LMDX ordinary shares will vest over two years based on achievement of performance conditions. For additional information regarding the Founders Equity Awards, please see the section titled “Director and Executive Officer Compensation—Founders Equity Awards” beginning on page 134. We will record substantial stock-compensation expense for the Founders Equity Awards. In addition, a potentially large number of LMDX ordinary shares will be issuable upon exercise of the Founders Equity Awards if the applicable vesting conditions are satisfied, which would dilute your ownership of us.

Risks Related to Being a Public Company and Ownership of LMDX Common Shares

A market for LMDX common shares may not develop or be sustained, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of LMDX common shares.

Following the Closing Date, the price of the publicly traded LMDX common shares, or the LMDX traded common shares, may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the Merger and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for the LMDX traded common shares following the Closing Date may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In addition, the price of the LMDX traded common shares after the Closing Date can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports. Additionally, if the LMDX traded common shares become delisted from Nasdaq and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange) or the LMDX traded common shares are not listed on Nasdaq and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the liquidity and price of LMDX traded common shares may be more limited than if LumiraDx was quoted or listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your LMDX traded common shares unless a market can be established or sustained.

The dual class structure of the LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares has the effect of concentrating voting control with those shareholders who held our share capital prior to the Merger, including our directors, executive officers and their respective affiliates, who will hold in the aggregate % of the voting power of our share capital following the completion of the Merger. This ownership will limit or preclude the ability of holders of the LMDX traded common shares to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors, amendments of our then current memorandum and articles of association, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring shareholder approval.

The LMDX ordinary shares have ten votes per share on matters to be voted on by shareholders, and the LMDX common shares have one vote per share. Upon the consummation of the Merger, our directors, executive officers and their affiliates will hold in the aggregate % of the voting power of our issued share capital. Because of the ten-to-one voting ratio between the LMDX ordinary shares and the LMDX common shares, the holders of the LMDX ordinary shares collectively could continue to control a significant percentage of the combined voting power of the LMDX common shares and therefore be able to control all matters submitted to

our shareholders for their approval. This concentrated control may limit or preclude the ability of the holders of the LMDX traded common shares to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including the election of directors, the removal of the LMDX Founder Directors, amendments of our then current memorandum and articles of association, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring shareholder approval. This may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our issued share capital that the holders of the LMDX traded common shares may believe are in the best interest of LumiraDx as one of our shareholders. In addition, each of our co-founders (i.e., Ron Zwanziger, Dave Scott and Jerry McAleer) are directors and cannot be removed from the board absent the voting approval of the LMDX ordinary shares held by Ron Zwanziger, our Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, and his affiliates. Furthermore, the terms of our arrangements with BMGF, Morningside Venture Investments Limited, or Morningside, and CVS (which are described in further detail in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—LumiraDx Related Person Transactions” beginning on page 233), grant each of BMGF, Morningside and CVS a right to appoint a director to our board of directors. Under the applicable agreements, the appointment rights shall terminate (i) in the case of BMGF or Morningside, once either party sells or no longer controls more than 25%; or (ii) in the case of CVS, once a sale or combination of sales results in it beneficially owning less than 75%, in each case of their respective initial holding of LMDX series A preferred shares (or LMDX ordinary shares following the conversion of such LMDX series A preferred shares into LMDX ordinary shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring). We have been notified that Amit Thakker, M.D., BMGF’s board appointee, will resign from our board of directors with effect from April 30, 2021; however, BMGF will retain its right to appoint a director. Apart from:

(i)

in exceptional circumstances approved by our board of directors;

(ii)

in the Limited Circumstances (as defined in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238); or

(iii)

where the Early Conversion Conditions (as defined in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238) have been satisfied,

LMDX ordinary shares must be converted into LMDX common shares before they can be sold or transferred and no conversion of such LMDX ordinary shares into LMDX common shares can occur for the 180-day period from the Closing Date. The conversion of LMDX ordinary shares to LMDX common shares will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of LMDX common shares who retain their shares in the long term. As a result, it is possible that one or more of the persons or entities holding the LMDX common shares could gain significant voting control as other holders of LMDX ordinary shares sell or otherwise convert their LMDX ordinary shares into LMDX common shares. We do not expect to issue any additional LMDX ordinary shares following the Merger except to meet commitments we agreed to prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Any future issuances of LMDX ordinary shares would be dilutive to holders of LMDX common shares.

Sales of substantial amounts of the LMDX traded common shares in the public market, or the conversion of substantial amounts of LMDX ordinary shares into LMDX common shares for sale in the public market, or the perception that these sales and/or conversions may occur, could cause the market price of the LMDX common shares to decline. This could also impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities. Under the LMDX Amended and Restated Articles (and assuming for these purposes that the Subdivision has occurred), LumiraDx will be authorized to issue up to 2,888,343,328 LMDX common shares (with a par value of 0.0000017 per share), of which, assuming no CAH Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares, 80,004,653 LMDX common shares (with a par value of 0.0000017 per share) will be outstanding following the completion of the Merger.

Under the LMDX Amended and Restated Articles:

(A)

apart from:

(i)

in exceptional circumstances that are approved by our board of directors;

(ii)

in the Limited Circumstances (as defined in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238); or

(iii)

where the Early Conversion Conditions (as defined in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238) have been satisfied,

the LMDX ordinary shares must be converted into LMDX common shares before being sold or transferred and no conversion of such LMDX ordinary shares into LMDX common shares can occur for the 180-day period from the Closing Date; and

(B)

the holders of LMDX common shares which are issued: (i) upon the conversion of the LMDX series B preferred shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring, (ii) upon the conversion of the 5% notes and the 10% notes pursuant to the LMDX convertible loan note conversions, or (iii) upon the exercise of the 2020 warrants, the Jefferies warrants, the SVB warrants, the Pharmakon warrants and the LMDX new warrants, will be subject to a 180-day lock-up period prohibiting such holders, apart from:

(i)

in exceptional circumstances that are approved by our board of directors;

(ii)

in the Limited Circumstances (as defined in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238); or

(iii)

where the Early Conversion Conditions (as defined in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238) have been satisfied, from selling, transferring, contracting to sell or otherwise disposing of (either directly or indirectly) any of these LMDX common shares for the 180-day period following the Closing Date.

If, after the end of the relevant lock-up periods, shareholders who: (i) own LMDX common shares sell substantial amounts of LMDX common shares in the public market; or (ii) own LMDX ordinary shares convert substantial amounts of the LMDX ordinary shares into LMDX common shares for sale in the public market, or the market perceives that such sales and/or conversions may occur, the market price of the LMDX common shares and our ability to raise capital through an issue of equity securities in the future could be adversely affected. We have also entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with CAH, the sponsor and certain of our shareholders pursuant to which we will agree under certain circumstances to file a registration statement to register the resale of the LMDX securities held by such parties, as well as to cooperate in certain public offerings of such LMDX common shares.

In addition, upon consummation of the Merger, we intend to cease any new grants under our existing equity incentive plans and to adopt a new omnibus equity incentive plan under which we would have the discretion to grant a broad range of equity-based awards over LMDX common shares to eligible participants. We intend to register all LMDX common shares that we may issue under this equity incentive plan. Once we register these LMDX common shares, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to volume limitations applicable to affiliates. If a large number of the LMDX common shares or securities convertible into LMDX common shares are sold in the public market after they become eligible for sale, the sales could reduce the trading price of the LMDX common shares and impede our ability to raise future capital. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our shares or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of shares would have on the market price of the LMDX common shares.

We cannot predict the effect our dual class structure may have on the market price of our LMDX common shares.

We cannot predict whether our dual class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of our LMDX traded common shares, in adverse publicity, or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced restrictions on including companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indices, including FTSE Russell and S&P Dow Jones which impacted indices include the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P SmallCap 600, which together make up the S&P Composite 1500. Under any such announced policies or future policies, the dual class structure of our shares could make us ineligible for inclusion in certain indices and, as a result, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track those indices would not invest in our LMDX common shares. Given the sustained flow of investment funds into passive strategies that seek to track certain indices, exclusion from certain stock indices would likely preclude investment by many of these funds and could make our LMDX common shares less attractive to other investors. As a result, the market price of the LMDX traded common shares could be adversely affected. It is unclear what additional effects such policies will have on the valuations of publicly-traded companies excluded from such indices, but it is possible that they may depress valuations, as compared to similar companies that are included or may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure.

We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our LMDX common shares less attractive to investors or otherwise increase the volatility of the price of our LMDX common shares.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” For example, for as long as we are an “emerging growth company” under the recently enacted JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years. See “Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer” beginning on page 9. We cannot predict if investors will find our LMDX common shares less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our LMDX common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our LMDX common shares and our share price may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Given that we currently report and expect to continue to report under IFRS as issued by the IASB, we have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required by the IASB. Since IFRS makes no distinction between public and private companies for purposes of compliance with new or revised accounting standards, the requirements for our compliance as a private company and as a public company are the same.

We are a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we are not subject to U.S. proxy rules and are subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.

We will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including (i) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the

Exchange Act, (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time and (iii) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until four months after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from the Regulation Fair Disclosure, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are not foreign private issuers.

We may lose our foreign private issuer status, which would then require us to comply with the Exchange Act’s domestic reporting regime and cause us to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer.

We expect to qualify as a foreign private issuer upon the completion of this Merger. As a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. If in the future we are not a foreign private issuer as of the last day of the second fiscal quarter in any fiscal year, we would be required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure, current reporting requirements and proxy solicitation rules of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. In order to maintain our current status as a foreign private issuer, either (a) a majority of our LMDX common shares must be either directly or indirectly owned of record by non-residents of the United States or (b)(i) a majority of our directors and executive officers may not be United States citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of our assets cannot be located in the United States and (iii) our business must be administered principally outside the United States. If we were to lose this status, we would be required to comply with the Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirements for foreign private issuers. We may also be required to make changes in our corporate governance practices in accordance with various SEC and stock exchange rules. The regulatory and compliance costs to us if we are required to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher than the costs we would incur as a foreign private issuer. As a result, we expect that a loss of foreign private issuer status would increase our legal and financial compliance costs and would make some activities highly time consuming and costly. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified directors.

As a foreign private issuer and as permitted by the Nasdaq listing requirements, we follow certain home country governance practices rather than the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

The Nasdaq listing rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of its board members be independent. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we may, follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements, or we may choose to comply with the Nasdaq listing exchange requirement within one year of listing. The corporate governance practice in our home country, the Cayman Islands, does not require a majority of our board to consist of independent directors. Since a majority of our board of directors may not consist of independent directors, fewer board members may be exercising independent judgment and the level of board oversight on the management of our company may decrease as a result. In addition, the Nasdaq listing rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have a compensation committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, and an audit committee with a minimum of three members. We, as a foreign private issuer, are not subject to these requirements though we intend to have an audit committee comprising of three independent directors. The Nasdaq listing rules may require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters, such as requiring that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, as well as certain ordinary share issuances. We intend to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq listing rules for a foreign private issuer in determining whether shareholder approval is required on such matters. However, we may consider following home country practice in lieu of the requirements under the Nasdaq listing rules with respect to certain corporate governance standards which may afford less protection to investors.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and if our remediation of such material weaknesses is not effective, or if we fail to develop and maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable laws and regulations could be impaired.

In connection with the audits of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, we identified certain control deficiencies in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses specifically resulted from (i) insufficient segregation of duties related to the posting of manual journal entries and (ii) the lack of documented evidence for management review controls related to projected financial information used in non-recurring valuations and non-routine transactions.

We have insufficient segregation of duty related to the posting of manual journal entries. Additionally, where an independent review does occur, there is insufficient evidence to justify the operation of the control. These control failures are a result of resource constraints which result in inadequate staffing within the finance function to support sufficient segregation of duties and insufficient risk assessment procedures.

We lack documented evidence of review for management review controls related to projected financial information used in non-recurring valuations and non-routine transactions although reviews were performed by various levels of management. This lack of documented review is a result of controls that are not designed at a sufficient level of detail.

Although we have plans to add appropriate levels of staffing in the future, these material weaknesses have not been remediated as of the time of this prospectus.

Neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm has performed an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting during any period in accordance with the provisions of Sarbanes Oxley. In light of the material weaknesses that were identified in connection with the audits of our financial statements described above, we believe that it is possible that, had we and our independent registered public accounting firm performed an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley, additional material weaknesses may have been identified.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that are filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Market.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future, to repay indebtedness and to fund the development and growth of our business. We do not intend to pay any dividends to holders of our LMDX common shares. As a result, capital appreciation in the price of our LMDX common shares, if any, will be your only potential source of gain on an investment in our LMDX common shares.

The terms of the Senior Secured Loan preclude us from paying cash dividends to our shareholders without the consent of Pharmakon.

Shareholders will not be able to exercise preemptive rights and, as a result, may experience substantial dilution upon future issuances of LMDX common shares.

Our directors are authorized to issue LMDX common shares or grant rights to subscribe for LMDX common shares up to our authorized share capital from time to time. The LMDX Amended and Restated Articles do not include any preemptive rights to entitle a shareholder to participate in any further issuances of LMDX common shares. This could cause existing shareholders to experience substantial dilution of their interest in us.

If equity or industry research analysts publish negative evaluations of the combined company, including a downgrade of the price target of the LMDX traded common shares, the price of our LMDX traded common shares could decline.

The trading market for the LMDX traded common shares relies in part on the research and reports that equity and industry research analysts publish about us or our business. We do not control these analysts. If one or more of the analysts covering our business downgrade their evaluations of our LMDX traded common shares, the price of our LMDX traded common shares could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover the LMDX traded common shares, we could lose visibility in the market for the LMDX traded common shares, which in turn could cause the LMDX traded common shares price to decline.

If we were classified as a “passive foreign investment company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or a PFIC, U.S. holders of our LMDX common shares would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

In general, we will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which either: (i) at least 75% of our gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income (e.g., dividends, interest, capital gains, rents, and royalties, other than rents or royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business); or (ii) at least 50% of the quarterly average value of the gross assets held by us during such taxable year produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. For purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, we will be treated as earning and owning our proportionate share of the income and assets, respectively, of any subsidiary corporation in which we own at least 25% of the value of the subsidiary’s stock.

Based on the current and expected composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets, we do not expect to be a PFIC for our current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, no assurances regarding our PFIC status can be provided for the current taxable year or any future taxable years. The determination of whether we are a PFIC for any taxable year is a fact-intensive determination that can only be made after the end of each year, and will depend on the composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time (including the value of our goodwill, which will generally be determined in part by reference to the market price of our LMDX traded common shares, which may fluctuate considerably). The composition of our income and assets will also be affected by the amount of cash that we raise in any future offerings or other financing transactions. Because the value of our goodwill will generally be determined by reference to our market capitalization, we could become a PFIC for any taxable year if the price of our LMDX traded common shares declines significantly while we hold a substantial amount of cash and financial investments. We also could become a PFIC if we do not generate sufficient income from our business in any taxable year (including our current taxable year) relative to the amount of passive income that we generate in such taxable year. In addition, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to some uncertainties and the proper characterization of certain items of our income and assets is not entirely clear. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for our current or any future taxable year. We express no belief regarding our PFIC status with respect to any U.S. holder that acquired equity interests (or options or other rights to acquire equity interests) in us prior to the Merger.

If we were classified as a PFIC, a “U.S. holder” (as defined in the section titled “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” beginning on page 256 in this proxy statement/prospectus) of our LMDX traded common shares would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including potential increased tax liability. In addition, for each year during which we were classified as a PFIC, a U.S. holder of our LMDX common shares would generally be required to file IRS Form 8621 with such U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax return to report certain information concerning its ownership of our common stock. Each U.S. holder of our LMDX common shares should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules and should read the discussion under “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of LMDX Common Shares and the Ownership and Disposition or Conversion of LMDX New Warrants Received in the Merger —U.S. Holders—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” in this prospectus.

U.S. holders that own 10% or more of our equity interests may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences under rules applicable to U.S. shareholders of controlled foreign corporations.

A non-U.S. corporation generally will be classified as a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or a CFC, if “10% U.S. equityholders” (as defined below) own, directly, indirectly or constructively, more than 50% of either the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote or of the total value of the stock of such corporation. We do not believe that we would be classified as a CFC at the time of the Merger, although CFC status is determined after taking into account complex constructive ownership rules and, accordingly, there can be no assurance in this regard. However, certain of our subsidiaries are classified as CFCs (as a result of the application of certain constructive ownership rules which treat our U.S. subsidiaries as owning the equity of those subsidiaries), and it is possible that we may be classified as a CFC in the future. The U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. holders who at all times are not 10% U.S. equityholders would not be affected by the CFC rules. However, a U.S. holder that owns (or is treated as owning, directly, indirectly or constructively, including by applying certain attribution rules) 10% or more of the combined voting power or value of all of classes of our equity interests (including equity interests attributable to deemed exercise of options and convertible debt instruments) (a “10% U.S. equityholder”) would generally be subject to current U.S. federal income taxation on a portion of our applicable subsidiaries’ earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and our earnings and profits (if we were classified as a CFC), regardless of whether such 10% U.S. equityholder receives any actual distributions. In addition, if we were classified as a CFC, a portion of any gains realized on the sale of our LMDX common shares by a 10% U.S. equityholder may be treated as ordinary income. A 10% U.S. equityholder will also be subject to additional U.S. federal income tax information reporting requirements with respect to our subsidiaries that are classified as CFCs and with respect to us (if we were classified as a CFC) and substantial penalties may be imposed for noncompliance. Each U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the CFC rules and whether such U.S. holder may be a 10% U.S. equityholder for purposes of these rules.

Changes in taxation legislation or practice may adversely affect LumiraDx and its group and the tax treatment for holders of LMDX common shares.

Any change in taxation legislation or practice in the U.K. or other jurisdictions to which the company and its group has exposure could adversely affect the value of the company and/or affect the post-tax returns to holders of common shares. Statements in this prospectus concerning the taxation of the company and taxation of holders of LMDX common shares are based upon current tax law and published practice any aspect of which is, in principle, subject to change that could adversely affect the company and its group and/or the taxation of holders of LMDX common shares, and which may have an adverse effect on the market value of the LMDX common shares.

There have been significant recent changes both made and proposed to international tax laws that increase the complexity, burden and cost of tax compliance for all multinational groups. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD, is continuously considering recommendations for changes to existing

tax laws. We expect to continue to monitor these and other developments in international tax law which may adversely affect the company and its group and after-tax returns to holders of common shares.

In particular, the tax risks to the company and its group and to holders of LMDX common shares may be affected by the OECD’s Action Plan on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, or the BEPS Action Plan. The aim of the BEPS Action Plan is that jurisdictions should change their domestic tax laws and introduce additional or amended provisions in double taxation treaties. Examples of possible outcomes of the BEPS Action Plan could be that the ability of entities such as the company and members of its group to benefit from reliefs under double taxation treaties, or to obtain tax deductions for finance costs, could be adversely affected, potentially increasing the effective tax rate of the group. Final reports on all action points were published on October 5, 2015, but it remains unclear in many cases whether, when, how and to what extent certain jurisdictions will decide to adopt or further adopt those recommendations and different jurisdictions may implement any such recommendations in different ways. On July 12, 2016, the European Council formally adopted a directive containing a package of measures to combat tax avoidance, or ATAD. The scope of ATAD was amended and widened by a further directive formally adopted by the European Council on May 29, 2017, or ATAD 2. The implementation of ATAD and/or ATAD 2, which (among other initiatives) requires implementation of certain recommendations of the BEPS Action Plan within the E.U., may adversely affect the company and its group.

In addition, further work is currently being undertaken by the OECD on potential future recommendations related to the challenges arising from the digitalization of the global economy, specifically relating to reform of the international allocation of taxing rights, or Pillar One, and a system ensuring a minimum level of tax for multinational enterprises, or Pillar Two, which may result in additional adverse tax consequences for the company and its group.

Recently introduced economic substance legislation of the Cayman Islands may adversely impact us or our operations.

The Cayman Islands, together with several other non-E.U. jurisdictions, have recently introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the E.U. as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. With effect from January 1, 2019, the International Tax Cooperation (Economic Substance) Act, (as revised), or the Substance Act, came into force in the Cayman Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are engaged in certain “relevant activities”. As we are a Cayman Islands company, compliance obligations include filing annual notifications for the Company, which need to state whether we are carrying out any relevant activities and whether we are claiming an exemption from the obligations to meet the economic substance tests to the extent required under the Cayman Economic Substance Act (the “substance test”). If we are carrying out such relevant activities, or are claiming such an exemption we are further required to file annually a report as to whether we have satisfied the substance test or the bias on which we are claiming such exemption. As it is a new regime, it is anticipated that the Substance Act will evolve and be subject to further clarification and amendments. We may need to allocate additional resources to keep updated with these developments and may have to make changes to our operations in order to comply with all requirements under the Substance Act. Failure to satisfy these requirements may subject us to penalties under the Substance Act.

We expect LumiraDx and LumiraDx Group Limited to operate so as to be treated solely as a resident of the U.K. for tax purposes, but changes to our management and organizational structure and/or to the tax residency laws of other jurisdictions where we operate may cause the relevant tax authorities to treat the company as also being a resident of another jurisdiction for tax purposes.

Under current U.K. tax law, if the location of a company’s central management and control is in the U.K., or if a company is incorporated in the U.K., it is regarded as resident for tax purposes in the U.K. unless (i) it is concurrently treated as resident for tax purposes in another jurisdiction (applying the rules of that other jurisdiction for determining tax residency) that has a double tax treaty with the U.K. and (ii) there is a residency tie-breaker provision in that tax treaty which allocates tax residence to that other jurisdiction.

Based upon our anticipated management and organizational structure, we believe that the company and LumiraDx Group Limited (and the other U.K. incorporated companies in the group) should be regarded as tax resident solely in the U.K. However, because this analysis is highly factual and may depend on future changes in our management and organizational structure, as well as future changes in the tax residency laws of other jurisdictions where we operate, there can be no assurance regarding the determination of the tax residence of such companies in the future.

Should any such company be treated as resident in a jurisdiction other than the U.K. it could be subject to taxation in that jurisdiction and may be required to comply with a number of material and formal tax obligations, including withholding tax and/or reporting obligations provided under the relevant tax law, which could result in additional costs and expenses.

LumiraDx is a Cayman Islands company. Because judicial precedent regarding the rights of shareholders is more limited under Cayman Islands law than under U.S. law, shareholders may have fewer shareholder rights than they would have under U.S. law.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our then current memorandum and articles of association (as may be amended from time to time), the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of directors are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. This common law is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. Decisions of courts in other Commonwealth jurisdictions are similarly of persuasive but not binding authority. Decisions of the Privy Council (which is the final Court of Appeal for British overseas territories such as the Cayman Islands) are binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly defined as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less prescriptive body of securities law than the United States. In addition, some states in the United States, such as Delaware, have more fulsome and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands.

In addition, as a Cayman Islands exempted company, our shareholders have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records and accounts or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders with the exception that the shareholders may request a copy of our then current memorandum and articles of association. Under our Amended and Restated Articles, our directors have discretion to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion. As a result, you may be limited in your ability to protect your interests if you are harmed in a manner that would otherwise enable you to sue in a United States federal court. As a result of all of the above, shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board or controlling shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

We expect to conduct a significant portion of our operations outside the United States through our subsidiaries. The majority of our directors and executive officers reside outside the United States and a majority of the group’s assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under either under United States federal or state securities laws or otherwise, or if you have a claim against us. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers.

There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state and it is uncertain whether such Cayman Islands courts would hear original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state. There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will generally recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.

Anti-takeover provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control.

Some provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles, may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or management that holders of our LMDX common shares may consider unfavorable, including, among other things, the following:

•

provisions that permit our board of directors by resolution to issue undesignated classes of shares with such preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions as the board of directors may determine in their discretion, without any further vote or action by our shareholders. If issued, the rights, preferences, designations and limitations of any class of undesignated shares could operate to the disadvantage of the outstanding LMDX ordinary shares or LMDX common shares the holders of which would not have any pre-emption rights in respect of such an issue of undesignated shares. Such terms could include, among others, preferences as to dividends and distributions on liquidation, or could be used to prevent possible corporate takeovers;

•

our shareholders may not take action by written consent, but may only take action at annual or extraordinary meetings of our shareholders. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of our share capital would not be able to amend our Amended and Restated Articles or remove directors without holding a meeting of our shareholders called in accordance with our Amended and Restated Articles. Our Amended and Restated Articles will further provide that special meetings of our shareholders may be called only by shareholders holding not less than one-third of the voting rights who are entitled to vote at general meetings. However, shareholders may propose only ordinary resolutions to be put to a vote at such a meeting and shall have no right to propose resolutions with respect to the election, appointment or removal of any person as a director or to amend our Amended and Restated Articles. Our Amended and Restated Articles will provide no other right to put any proposals before an annual general meeting or an extraordinary general meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our shareholders to force consideration of a proposal or for shareholders controlling a majority of our share capital to take any action, including the removal of directors;

•

our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors (being the LMDX Founder Directors, the Class I directors and the Class II directors). A third party may be discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us as it is more difficult and time consuming for shareholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified board of directors. See the section titled “Management Following the Merger—Composition of the Board of Directors” beginning on page 131. Shareholders may only remove the Class I directors and Class II directors for cause by way of passing a special resolution; and

•

each of the LMDX Founder Directors cannot be removed from the board absent the voting approval of the LMDX ordinary shares held by Ron Zwanziger, our Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, and his affiliates. This provision would prevent shareholders from removing any of the LMDX Founder Directors from their respective positions on the board.

Holders of the LMDX traded common shares may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.

Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association and have been provided for in the Amended and Restated Articles, subject to the restrictions described therein. Advance notice of at least 21 clear days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting and at least 14 clear days’ notice of any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in the company. To the extent that shareholders hold in aggregate less than one-third of the outstanding voting shares in the company, they cannot call general meetings or annual general meetings. To the extent that shareholders hold in the aggregate one third of the outstanding voting shares of the Company, as set out above, an extraordinary general meeting may be convened but shareholders cannot include matters for consideration at such a meeting requiring the approval of a special resolution or are matters relating to the election, appointment, removal of any person as a director or to amend our Amended and Restated Articles.

We may become subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands which would negatively affect our results.

We have received an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands that, in accordance with section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of grant of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable (i) on or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of LumiraDx or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by LumiraDx to its members or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of LumiraDx. If we otherwise were to become subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. See “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations—Cayman Islands Taxation.”

There may be a risk of us being subject to tax in jurisdictions in which we do not currently consider ourselves to have any tax resident subsidiaries or permanent establishments.

Our tax treatment is dependent, among other things, on the jurisdiction of our residence, including the residence of our subsidiaries, for tax purposes. We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, resident in U.K. for tax purposes. We attempt to manage our business such that each of our subsidiaries is resident for tax purposes solely in its jurisdiction of incorporation and does not unintentionally create a taxable permanent establishment or other taxable presence in any other jurisdiction.

Risks Related to the Merger

CAH may not have sufficient funds to consummate the Merger.

As of January 29, 2021, CAH had approximately $800,000 available to it outside the trust account to fund its working capital requirements. If CAH is required to seek additional capital, it would need to borrow funds from the sponsor, its management team or other third parties to operate or it may be forced to liquidate. None of such persons is under any obligation to advance funds to CAH in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to CAH upon completion of the Merger. If CAH is unable to consummate the Merger because it does not have sufficient funds available, CAH will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. Consequently, CAH’s public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share and their CAH public warrants will expire worthless.

The Merger remains subject to conditions that CAH cannot control and if such conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger may not be consummated.

The Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including the conditions that CAH have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-5(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Merger, there is at least $65,000,000 of funds in CAH’s trust account, prior to payment of any unpaid or contingent liabilities, deferred underwriting fees or transaction costs of any of the parties, there is no legal prohibition against consummation of the Merger, the LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants be approved for listing on Nasdaq subject only to official notice of issuance thereof and the requirement to have a sufficient number of round lot holders, receipt of CAH and LumiraDx securityholder approvals, continued effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, the truth and accuracy of CAH’s and LumiraDx’s representations and warranties made in the Merger Agreement, the non-termination of the Merger Agreement and consummation of each Ancillary Agreement. There are no assurances that all conditions to the Merger will be satisfied or that the conditions will be satisfied in the time frame expected.

If the conditions to the Merger are not met (and are not waived, to the extent waivable), either CAH or LumiraDx may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, terminate the Merger Agreement. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal No. 1 —Merger Proposal— Termination” beginning on page 109.

CAH will not have any right to make damage claims against LumiraDx for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by LumiraDx or Merger Sub in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement provides that all of the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties contained therein shall not survive the completion of the Merger, except for those covenants contained therein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing Date. Accordingly, there are no remedies available to the parties with respect to any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties to the Merger Agreement after the Closing Date, except for covenants to be performed in whole or in part after Closing Date. As a result, CAH will have no remedy available to it if the Merger is consummated and it is later revealed that there was a breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants made by LumiraDx or Merger Sub at the time of the Merger.

The CAH board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Merger.

CAH’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the Merger. In analyzing the Merger, CAH’s board and management conducted due diligence on LumiraDx and researched the industry in which LumiraDx operates and concluded, together with the advice and expertise of CAH’s financial advisors, that the Merger was in the best interest of CAH’s stockholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of CAH’s board of directors and CAH’s advisors in valuing LumiraDx’s business, and the board of directors may not have properly valued such business. The lack of a third-party valuation or fairness opinion may also lead an increased number of stockholders to vote against the proposed Merger or demand redemption of their shares for cash, which could potentially impact CAH’s ability to consummate the Merger.

Future resales of the LMDX common shares and/or LMDX new warrants may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

The Amended and Restated Articles provide that:

(A)

apart from:

(i)

in exceptional circumstances that are approved by our board of directors;

(ii)

in the Limited Circumstances (as defined in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238); or

(iii)

where the Early Conversion Conditions (as defined in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238) have been satisfied,

(B)

the holders of LMDX common shares which are issued: (i) upon the conversion of the LMDX series B preferred shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring, (ii) upon the conversion of the 5% notes and the 10% notes pursuant to the LMDX convertible loan note conversions, or (iii) upon the exercise of the 2020 warrants, the Jefferies warrants, the SVB warrants, the Pharmakon warrants and the LMDX New Warrants, will be subject to a 180-day lock-up period prohibiting such holders, apart from:

(i)

in exceptional circumstances that are approved by our board of directors;

(ii)

in the Limited Circumstances (as defined in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238); or

(iii)

where the Early Conversion Conditions (as defined in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238) have been satisfied,

from selling, transferring, contracting to sell or otherwise disposing of (either directly or indirectly) any of these LMDX common shares for the 180-day period following the Closing Date.

In addition, other than LMDX common shares to be issued upon exercise of the LMDX new warrants, the LMDX common shares to be issued to the sponsor and the CAH founders in connection with the Merger shall be subject to a one-year lock up restriction pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement. Further, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, LumiraDx, CAH, CAH founders, the sponsor and certain existing equityholders of LumiraDx holding existing registration rights entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, providing such holders with customary demand registration rights and piggy-back registration rights with respect to registration statements filed by LumiraDx after the Closing Date. The Registration Rights Agreement supersedes the registration rights agreements to which the aforementioned existing equityholders of LumiraDx were party. See the section titled “Summary—Related Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement” page 7.

Upon expiration of the applicable lock-up periods and upon the effectiveness of any registration statement LumiraDx files pursuant to the above-referenced Registration Rights Agreement, in a registered offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, LumiraDx shareholders may sell large amounts of LMDX common shares and warrants in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the trading price of the LMDX common shares or the LMDX new warrants or putting significant downward pressure on the price of the LMDX common shares or warrants. Additionally, downward pressure on the market price of the LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants likely will result from sales of LMDX common shares issued in connection with the exercise of warrants. Further, sales of LMDX common shares or warrants upon expiration of any applicable lockup periods could encourage short sales by market participants. Generally, short selling means selling a security, contract or commodity not owned by the seller. The seller is committed to eventually purchase the financial instrument previously sold. Short sales are used to capitalize on an expected decline in the security’s price. Short sales of LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants could have a tendency to depress the price of the LMDX common shares or the LMDX new warrants, respectively, which could increase the potential for short sales.

We cannot predict the size of future issuances of LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants will have on the market price of the LMDX traded common shares or LMDX new warrants. Sales of substantial amounts of LMDX common shares (including those LMDX common shares issued in connection with the Merger), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of LMDX traded common shares or LMDX new warrants.

If CAH’s stockholders fail to properly demand redemption rights, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of common stock of CAH for a pro rata portion of the trust account.

CAH stockholders holding public shares may demand that CAH redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Merger. CAH stockholders who seek to exercise this redemption right must deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to CAH’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the special meeting. Any CAH stockholder who fails to properly demand redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem his or her shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account. CAH stockholders should see the section titled “Special Meeting of CAH Stockholders—Redemption Rights” beginning on page 95 for the procedures to be followed if they wish to redeem their shares for cash.

A public stockholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if you hold more than 15% of the public shares and the Merger Proposal is approved, you will not be able to seek redemption rights with respect to the full amount of your shares and may be forced to hold the shares in excess of 15% or sell them in the open market. CAH cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following a Merger or that the market price of CAH’s shares of common stock will exceed the per-share redemption price.

Nasdaq may not list our securities, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We intend to apply to have our securities listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Merger. We will be required to meet the initial listing requirements to be listed. We may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements. Even if our securities are so listed, we may be unable to maintain the listing of our securities in the future.

If we fail to meet the initial listing requirements and Nasdaq does not list our securities and the related closing condition is waived by the parties, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

•

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage on us; and

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The sponsor and the CAH founders, including CAH’s officers and directors, beneficially own or have an economic interest in CAH shares and CAH warrants that will be worthless and have incurred reimbursable expenses and may, in certain circumstances, make loans that may not be reimbursed or repaid if the Merger or other business combinations are not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the Merger.

The sponsor and the CAH founders, including CAH’s officers and directors and/or their affiliates, beneficially own or have an economic interest in the CAH founder shares and CAH private placement warrants that they purchased prior to, or simultaneously with, the CAH IPO. Such persons have no redemption rights with respect to these securities in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period. Therefore, if the Merger or another business combination are not approved within the required time period, such securities held by such persons will be worthless. Such securities had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing prices of the shares and units on the Nasdaq on , 2021, the record date. See the section titled “Proposal No. 1 - The Merger Proposal - Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger” beginning on page 118.

These financial interests may have influenced the decision of CAH’s directors to approve the Merger and to continue to pursue such Merger. In considering the recommendations of CAH’s board of directors to vote for the Merger Proposal and other proposals, its stockholders should consider these interests.

The sponsor is liable to ensure that proceeds of the trust are not reduced by vendor claims in the event a Merger is not consummated. It has also agreed to pay for any liquidation expenses if a Merger is not consummated. Such liability may have influenced the sponsor’s decision to approve the Merger.

If the Merger or another business combination are not consummated by CAH within the required time period, the sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by CAH for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to CAH. If CAH consummates a business combination, including the Merger, on the other hand, CAH will be liable for all such claims. Neither CAH nor the sponsor has any reason to believe that the sponsor will not be able to fulfill its indemnity obligations to CAH. See the section titled “Proposal No. 1 - The Merger Proposal - Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger” beginning on page 118 for further information. If CAH is required to be liquidated and there are no funds remaining to pay the costs associated with the implementation and completion of such liquidation, the sponsor has also agreed to advance CAH the funds necessary to pay such costs and complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $100,000) and not to seek repayment for such expense.

These obligations of the sponsor may have influenced CAH’s sponsor’s decision to approve the Merger and to continue to pursue such Merger. Larry J. Neiterman, Jeffrey H. Barnes, David Lang, David H. Klein, Afsaneh Naimollah, each of whom is an officer, director or director nominee of CAH, each has an indirect economic interest in the CAH founder shares and CAH private placement warrants purchased by the sponsor as a result of his or her membership interest in the sponsor. In considering the recommendations of CAH’s board of directors to vote for the Merger Proposal and other proposals, CAH’s stockholders should consider these interests.

If proceeds in the trust account are reduced below $10.00 per public share and the sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, CAH’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While CAH currently expects that its independent directors would take

legal action on CAH’s behalf against the sponsor to enforce the sponsor’s indemnification obligations, it is possible that CAH’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If CAH’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to CAH’s public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

The exercise of CAH’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Merger may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Merger or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in CAH’s stockholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing Date, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require CAH to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by LumiraDx or to waive rights that CAH is entitled to under the Merger Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of LumiraDx’s business, a request by LumiraDx to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on LumiraDx’s business and would entitle CAH to terminate the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at CAH’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or they may believe is best for CAH and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, CAH does not believe there will be any material changes or waivers that CAH’s directors and officers would be likely to make after the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus. CAH will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus if changes to the terms of the Merger that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the Merger Proposal.

If CAH is unable to complete the Merger or another business combination by January 29, 2023, CAH will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against CAH and, as a result, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $10.00 per share.

Under the terms of CAH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, CAH must complete a business combination by January 29, 2023, or CAH must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against CAH. Although CAH has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses it has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of CAH’s public stockholders. If CAH is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the executive officers have agreed they will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by CAH for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to CAH. However, he may not be able to meet such obligation. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than $10.00 due to such claims.

Additionally, if CAH is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, or if CAH otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held

in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, CAH may not be able to return to its public stockholders at least $10.00.

CAH’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against CAH to the extent of distributions received by them.

If CAH is unable to complete the Merger or another business combination within the required time period, CAH will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. CAH cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against CAH. As such, CAH’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of its stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, CAH cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from its stockholders amounts owed to them by CAH.

If CAH is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by CAH’s stockholders. Furthermore, because CAH intends to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to its public stockholders promptly after the expiration of the time period to complete a Merger , this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to its public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from its assets. Furthermore, CAH’s board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to CAH’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and CAH to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. CAH cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

Activities taken by existing CAH stockholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the Merger Proposal and other proposals could have a depressive effect on CAH’s stock.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding CAH or its securities, the sponsor, the CAH founders, including CAH’s officers, directors and stockholders prior to CAH IPO, LumiraDx and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of CAH common stock or vote their shares in favor of the Merger Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements to consummate the Merger where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on CAH common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

CAH and LumiraDx will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Merger.

CAH and LumiraDx have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Merger and, in the case of LumiraDx, operating as a public company following the

consummation of the Merger. All expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be for the account of the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs or paid by LumiraDx following the Closing Date.

Subsequent to the completion of the Merger, the combined company may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and the combined company’s common share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although CAH has conducted extensive due diligence on LumiraDx, CAH cannot assure you that this diligence will uncover all material issues that may be present in LumiraDx’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of LumiraDx’s business and outside of its control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, the combined company may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in its reporting losses. Even if CAH’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with CAH’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on the combined company’s liquidity, the fact that the combined company reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions of the combined company or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause the combined company to violate net worth or other covenants to which the combined company may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by LumiraDx’s business or by virtue of the combined company obtaining post-combination debt financing. Accordingly, any stockholders who choose to remain shareholders following the Merger could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

The LMDX common shares to be received by CAH’s securityholders as a result of the Merger will have different rights from CAH securities.

Following completion of the Merger, CAH’s securityholders will no longer be securityholders of CAH but will instead be securityholders of LumiraDx. There will be important differences between your current rights as a CAH securityholder and your rights as an LumiraDx securityholder. See the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238 for a discussion of the different rights associated with the LMDX common shares.

CAH’s stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after consummation of the Merger and will exercise less influence over management.

After the completion of the Merger, CAH stockholders will own a smaller percentage of LumiraDx than they currently own in CAH. At Closing, existing LumiraDx shareholders would hold, assuming for these purposes the Subdivision has occurred, approximately 338,753,255 of the issued and outstanding LMDX ordinary shares and 65,224,653 of the issued and outstanding LMDX common shares and current CAH stockholders would hold approximately 14,780,000 of the issued and outstanding LMDX common shares (assuming no holder of CAH common stock exercises redemption rights as described in this proxy statement/prospectus, and based on current estimates of transaction expenses). Consequently, CAH’s stockholders, as a group, will have reduced ownership and voting power in the combined company compared to their ownership and voting power in CAH.

Even if we consummate the Merger, there is no guarantee that the LMDX new warrants will ever be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of our warrants may be amended.

The exercise price for the LMDX new warrants will be $11.50 per LMDX common share. Upon consummation of the Merger, the CAH public warrants will be assumed by the Company, being referred to herein as the LMDX new warrants. There is no guarantee that the LMDX new warrants, following the Merger, will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, such warrants may expire worthless.

CAH’s current directors and executive officers and their affiliates own CAH shares and CAH private placement warrants that will be worthless if the Merger is not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the Merger.

Under the terms of CAH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, CAH must complete a business combination by January 29, 2023, or CAH must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, all of the CAH founder shares and CAH private placement warrants held by the sponsor and CAH’s directors and officers would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such securities. On the other hand, if the Merger is consummated, each outstanding CAH share shall be converted into one common share of LumiraDx. The outstanding CAH public warrants shall, by their terms, automatically entitle the holders to purchase LMDX common shares upon consummation of the Merger. These financial interests may have influenced the decision of CAH’s directors and officers to approve the Merger and to continue to pursue the Merger. In considering the recommendations of CAH’s board of directors to vote for the Merger Proposal, for the charter proposals and for the adjournment proposal, its stockholders should consider these interests. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal No. 1 - The Merger Proposal - Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger” beginning on page 118.

The Merger may be completed even though material adverse effects may result from the announcement of the Merger, industry-wide changes and other causes.

In general, either CAH or LumiraDx may refuse to complete the Merger if there is a material adverse effect affecting the other party between the signing date of the Merger Agreement and the planned Closing. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to consummate the Merger, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on LumiraDx or CAH, including the following events (except, in certain cases where the change has a disproportionate effect on a party):

•

any change or proposed change in or change in the interpretation of any law or IFRS;

•

events or conditions generally affecting the industries or geographic areas in which LumiraDx and its subsidiaries operate;

•

any change in general economic conditions, including changes in the credit, debt, securities, financial or capital markets;

•

any geopolitical conditions, outbreak of hostilities, acts of war, sabotage, civil unrest, cyberterrorism, terrorism, military actions, earthquakes, volcanic activity, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, mudslides, wild fires or other natural disasters, weather conditions, epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of illness or public health events and other force majeure events;

•

any actions taken or not taken by LumiraDx or its subsidiaries required by the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

•

any failure to meet any projections, forecasts, guidance, estimates, milestones, budgets or financial or operating predictions of revenue, earnings, cash flow or cash position;

•

the public announcement or pendency of the Merger Agreement (including but not limited to any impact on the relationships with customers, vendors, or employees, including voluntary departures of employees in anticipation of the Merger); or

•

any actions taken, or failures to take action, or such other changes or events, in each case, which CAH has requested or to which it has consented or which actions are contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Delays in completing the Merger may substantially reduce the expected benefits of the Merger.

Satisfying the conditions to, and completion of, the Merger may take longer than, and could cost more than, CAH expects. Any delay in completing or any additional conditions imposed in order to complete the Merger may materially adversely affect the benefits that CAH and its stockholders expects to achieve from the Merger .

CAH and LumiraDx have no history operating as a combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be an indication of LumiraDx’s financial condition or results of operations following the Merger, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate LumiraDx and your investment decision.

LumiraDx and CAH have no prior history as a combined entity and their operations have not been previously managed on a combined basis. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared using the consolidated historical financial statements of CAH and LumiraDx and is presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be an indication of the results of operations including, without limitation, future revenue, or financial condition of CAH following the Merger. Certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding CAH after giving effect to the Merger. LumiraDx and CAH believe these assumptions are reasonable, however, the information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary, and these kinds of adjustments are difficult to make with accuracy. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect CAH’s results of operations or financial condition following the consummation of the Merger. For these and other reasons, the historical and pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus does not necessarily reflect LumiraDx’s results of operations and financial condition and the actual financial condition and results of operations of LumiraDx following the Merger may not be consistent with, or evident from, this pro forma financial information.

CAH may be a target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Merger from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought or threatened against companies that have entered into merger agreements or similar agreements. Even if any lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on CAH’s liquidity and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting consummation of the Merger, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Merger from being completed. In addition, it is possible that any such class action lawsuits or derivative lawsuits will survive the closing, in which case they will need to continue to be defended post-closing of the Merger. Currently, CAH is not aware of any securities class action lawsuits or derivative lawsuits being filed in connection with the Merger.

The sponsor and CAH’s officers and directors have agreed to vote in favor of the Merger, regardless of how CAH’s public stockholders vote.

The sponsor, as well as CAH’s officers and directors, beneficially own and are entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 20.0% of the outstanding CAH shares. These holders have agreed to vote their CAH shares in favor of the Merger Proposal. These holders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval for the Merger Proposal and the other proposals will be received than would be the case if these holders agreed to vote their CAH founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by holders of CAH public shares.

If the Merger does not qualify as a tax-deferred “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, then the Merger would be taxable with respect to U.S. holders of CAH common stock and CAH public warrants.

There are significant factual and legal uncertainties as to whether the Merger will qualify as a tax-deferred “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368(a) off the Code. For example, the treatment of the Merger as a tax-deferred “reorganization” may depend on the extent to which stockholders of CAH decide to exchange their CAH common stock for LMDX common shares rather than redeem them for cash. In addition, because of (i) the short history of CAH, (ii) the fact that its assets consist primarily of the funds held in the trust account, (iii) the possibility of a significant number of holders of redeeming their CAH common stock for cash, and (iv) the lack of authority or IRS guidance directly on-point in respect of the type of companies that includes CAH, there is significant uncertainty as to whether CAH will be able to meet the “continuity of business enterprise” requirement for qualification as a “reorganization.” Thus, no assurance can be given that the IRS would not challenge the treatment of the Merger as a tax-deferred “reorganization” in light of the specific requirements of Section 368(a) of the Code.

If, at the closing of the Merger, any requirement for Section 368(a) of the Code is not met, then a U.S. holder (as defined in the section titled “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” beginning on page 256) of CAH common stock and/or CAH public warrants would recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the fair market value (as of the Closing Date) of the LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants received and converted pursuant to the Merger and (ii) such U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the CAH common stock surrendered and CAH public warrants that were surrendered in exchange for the LMDX new warrants.

CAH and LumiraDx intend to report the Merger as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”) and, if the Merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment, the Merger is not expected to result in gain being recognized by U.S. holders of CAH common stock and CAH public warrants immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. However, the qualification of the Merger for the Intended Tax Treatment is not a condition to the closing of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not include any covenant requiring CAH or LumiraDx to ensure that the Merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment.

Even if the Merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment, a U.S. person will be required to recognize any gain (but would not be permitted to recognize any loss), unless the Merger satisfies the requirements of Section 367(a) of the Code.

Even if the Merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment, Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder provide that, where a U.S. person exchanges stock or securities in a U.S. corporation for stock or securities in a foreign corporation in a transaction that otherwise qualifies as a tax-deferred reorganization, the U.S. person is required to recognize any gain (but would not be permitted to recognize any loss) realized on such exchange unless certain additional requirements are satisfied.

If the Merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment but, at the Effective Time, any requirement for Section 367(a) of the Code not to impose gain on a U.S. holder (as defined in the section titled “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” beginning on page 256) is not satisfied, then a U.S. holder of CAH common stock or CAH public warrants generally would recognize gain (but would not be permitted to recognize any loss) in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value as of the closing date of the LMDX common shares and LumiraDx new warrants received by such holder in the Merger over such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the CAH common stock and CAH public warrants surrendered by such U.S. holder in the Merger.

•

if applicable, consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that CAH is unable to consummate the Merger (adjournment proposal).

Recommendation of CAH Board of Directors

CAH’s board of directors has unanimously determined that the Merger Proposal, each of the charter proposals and, if applicable, the adjournment proposal is fair to and in the best interests of CAH and its stockholders; has unanimously approved the Merger Proposal, each of the charter proposals and the adjournment proposal; unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal; unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” each of the charter proposals; and unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the adjournment proposal if one is presented to the meeting.

Record Date; Persons Entitled to Vote

CAH has fixed the close of business on , 2021, as the “record date” for determining CAH stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the special meeting. As of the close of business on , 2021, there were 14,375,000 shares of CAH common stock outstanding and 2,875,000 CAH founder shares entitled to vote. Each of the CAH shares is entitled to one vote per share at the special meeting.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, the 2,875,000 CAH founder shares owned of record by the sponsor and any shares of CAH common stock acquired by it, the CAH founders in the aftermarket, will be voted in favor of the Merger Proposal. The sponsor has indicated it intends to vote its shares in favor of the other proposals presented at the special meeting.

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders representing a majority of all the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the special meeting. A quorum will be present at the CAH special meeting if a majority of all the outstanding shares of CAH shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented at the virtual special meeting or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The CAH common stock and CAH founder shares are entitled vote together as a single class on all matters to be considered at the special meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to CAH but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. The latter will not be treated as shares entitled to vote on the matter as to which authority to vote is withheld from the broker. If a stockholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-routine” proposals, such as the Merger Proposal and the charter proposals.

Vote Required

The approval of the Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding CAH shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

The approval of the charter proposals will require the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding CAH Shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote against the charter proposals.

The approval of the adjournment proposal, if presented, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of CAH shares represented and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting. Abstentions are deemed entitled to vote on such adjournment proposal. Therefore, they have the same effect as a vote against the adjournment proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed entitled to vote on such adjournment proposal and, therefore, they will have no effect on the vote on such adjournment proposal.

Redemption Rights

Holders of public shares may seek to redeem their shares for cash, provided that they vote on the Merger Proposal (regardless of whether they vote for or against). Any stockholder holding public shares as of the record date who votes in favor of or against the Merger Proposal may demand that CAH redeem such shares for a full pro rata portion of the trust account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $ per share as of , 2021, the record date), calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Merger. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Merger is consummated, CAH will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the Merger.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 15% held by a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed for cash.

The sponsor and the CAH founders will not have redemption rights with respect to any shares of common stock owned by them, directly or indirectly in connection with the Merger.

CAH stockholders who seek to redeem their public shares for cash must affirmatively vote for or against the Merger Proposal. CAH stockholders who do not vote with respect to the Merger Proposal, including as a result of an abstention or a broker non-vote, may not redeem their shares for cash. Holders may demand redemption by delivering their stock, either physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to CAH’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the special meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Certificates that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $ and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. In the event the proposed Merger is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their shares.

Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the Merger Proposal. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).

If the Merger is not approved or completed for any reason, then CAH’s public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares for a full pro rata portion of the trust account, as applicable. In such case, CAH will promptly return any shares delivered by holders of public shares. If CAH would be left with less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets as a result of the holders of public shares properly demanding redemption of their shares for cash, CAH will not be able to consummate the Merger.

The closing price of CAH common stock on , 2021, the record date, was $ . The cash held in the trust account on such date was approximately $ ($ per public share). Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of CAH common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. CAH cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of CAH common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a holder of public shares exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its shares of CAH common stock for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you affirmatively vote for or against the Merger Proposal and properly demand redemption no later than the close of the vote on the Merger Proposal by delivering your stock certificate (either physically or electronically) to CAH’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the special meeting, and the Merger is consummated.

Appraisal Rights

Neither stockholders, unitholders nor warrant holders of CAH have appraisal rights in connection the Merger under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

CAH is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. CAH and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. CAH will bear the cost of the solicitation.

CAH has hired to assist in the proxy solicitation process. CAH will pay that firm a fee of $ plus disbursements. Such payment will be made from non-trust account funds.

CAH will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. CAH will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Sponsor and CAH Founders

As of , 2021, the record date, the sponsor owned of record and was entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,875,000 CAH founder shares that was issued prior to the CAH IPO. Such shares currently constitute 20% of the outstanding shares of CAH shares. The holders of these securities have agreed to vote the CAH founder shares, as well as any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of the Merger Proposal. The holders of these securities have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The CAH founder shares have no right to participate in any redemption distribution and will be worthless if no Merger is effected by CAH.

If the Merger is consummated, under the Sponsor Agreement the LMDX common shares to be issued to the sponsor and the CAH founders in connection with the Merger will be subject to, other than in the limited exceptions set out in the Sponsor Agreement and the Amended and Restated Articles, to a one year lock-up restriction pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement.

With certain limited exceptions, if the Merger is not consummated, the CAH founder shares will not be transferable, assignable or salable by the sponsor or the CAH founders until the earlier of: (1) one year after the completion of CAH’s initial business combination; and (2) the date on which CAH consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transactions after CAH’s initial business combination that results in all of CAH’s public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Merger is not consummated and if the last reported sale price of CAH’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after CAH’s initial Merger, the CAH founder shares will be released from the lock-up.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding CAH or its securities, the sponsor, the CAH founders, LumiraDx or LumiraDx shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Merger Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of CAH’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the Merger Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements to complete the Merger where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and, the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by the initial stockholders for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on CAH common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Merger to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Merger Proposal and other proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

No agreements dealing with the above arrangements or purchases have been entered into as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus by the sponsor, the CAH founders or any of their respective affiliates. CAH will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant

purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Merger Proposal or the satisfaction of any closing conditions. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 - THE MERGER PROPOSAL

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. The Merger Agreement has been attached to this proxy statement/prospectus to provide you with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about CAH, LumiraDx or Merger Sub. The following description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement. You should refer to the full text of the Merger Agreement for details of the Merger and the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. References to the number and nominal value of any LMDX ordinary share, LMDX common share or any other security of LumiraDx in this “Merger Proposal” section are, unless otherwise indicated, to the numbers and nominal values as set in the Merger Agreement and therefore assume completion of the Subdivision. However, the sections describing the pre-Merger transactions do not reflect the completion of the proposed Subdivision.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that LumiraDx and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and CAH, on the other hand, have made to one another as of specific dates. These representations and warranties have been made for the benefit of the other parties to the Merger Agreement and may be intended not as statements of fact but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be incorrect. In addition, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules exchanged by the parties in connection with signing the Merger Agreement. While LumiraDx and CAH do not believe that these disclosure schedules contain information required to be publicly disclosed under the applicable securities laws, other than information that has already been so disclosed, the disclosure schedules do contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the attached Merger Agreement. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as current characterizations of factual information about LumiraDx or CAH, because they were made as of specific dates, may be intended merely as a risk allocation mechanism between LumiraDx, Merger Sub and CAH and are modified by the disclosure schedules. The disclosure schedules are not publicly filed and are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for allocating risk among the parties as described above.

General

On April 6, 2021, LumiraDx, Merger Sub and CAH entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into CAH and CAH will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LumiraDx. The terms of the Merger Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination provisions and other terms relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are summarized below.

Pro Forma Capitalization

Assuming that none of CAH’s public stockholders demand redemption of their shares of CAH Class A Common Stock pursuant to the organizational documents of CAH, we estimate that, upon completion of the Merger, the existing LumiraDx shareholders and holders of the 5% notes, 10% notes and the LMDX existing warrants will own approximately % of the outstanding LMDX common shares and the existing CAH stockholders will own the remaining of the LMDX common shares.

Pre-Merger Transactions

Capital Restructuring. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) (A) each LMDX series A preferred share that is issued and outstanding will be converted into one LMDX ordinary share in accordance with the LMDX Articles; (B) each LMDX series B preferred share that is issued and outstanding will be converted into LMDX common shares in accordance with the LMDX Articles; (C) the 5% notes will be converted into 9,195,340 LMDX common shares; (D) the 10% notes will be converted into 7,802,080 LMDX common shares; and

(ii) immediately following the foregoing transactions, LumiraDx shall effect the Subdivision, such that the equity value per share (either LMDX ordinary share or LMDX common share) on a fully diluted basis (using the treasury stock method of accounting) is $10.00 per share, based on a valuation of LumiraDx of $5 billion (which such valuation may be increased for shares issued for cash in equity financing transactions prior to the Effective Time). The purpose of the Subdivision is to achieve an exchange ratio in the Merger of one LMDX common share for each share of common stock of CAH. We refer to these steps collectively as the Capital Restructuring.

CAH Class B Conversion. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, after giving effect to the Capital Restructuring and the redemption rights of holders of common stock of CAH each issued and outstanding share of Class B common stock of CAH shall be automatically converted into one share of common stock of CAH in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of CAH.

CAH Redemption. No later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing, CAH shall deliver to LumiraDx written notice setting forth: (i) the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy the CAH Redemption; (ii) the amount of cash in the Trust Account and the amount of expenses of CAH as of the Closing; and (iii) the number of shares of common stock of CAH to be outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and after giving effect to the CAH Redemption and the CAH Class B Conversion (such written notice of (i), (ii) and (iii), together, the “Closing Statement”). If LumiraDx in good faith disagrees with any portion of the Closing Statement, then LumiraDx may deliver a notice of such disagreement to CAH prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Notice of Disagreement”). LumiraDx and CAH shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Pre-Closing Notice of Disagreement. CAH shall effect the CAH Redemption (with such adjustments as shall have been agreed by the parties) no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time.

CAH Units. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each one share of CAH common stock and one half of a CAH public warrant comprising each issued and outstanding CAH Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically separated (the “Unit Separation”) and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of CAH common stock and one-half of a CAH public warrant, provided that no fractional warrants will be issued in connection with the Unit Separation such that if a holder of CAH Units would be entitled to receive a fractional warrant upon the Unit Separation, the number of CAH public warrants to be issued to such holder upon the Unit Separation shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of warrants. The shares of CAH common stock and CAH public warrants held following the Unit Separation shall be converted in the Merger as described below.

The Merger

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub shall merge with and into CAH. Following the Effective Time, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and CAH shall continue as the surviving entity of the Merger and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of Merger Sub in accordance with the DGCL.

Conversion of Securities in the Merger

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and assuming the Subdivision has occurred, at the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger each share of common stock of CAH issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the CAH Class B Conversion and the CAH Redemption) shall be automatically canceled and extinguished and reissued to LumiraDx as one share of common stock of the surviving corporation, in consideration for the right to receive one LMDX common share, which we refer to as the Merger Consideration.

At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger each share of common stock of CAH held immediately prior to the Effective Time by CAH as treasury shares shall be canceled and extinguished, and no consideration shall be paid with respect thereto.

100

At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically convert into one share of common stock of the surviving corporation, and each share of common stock of CAH shall be canceled and extinguished and reissued to LumiraDx as one share of common stock of the surviving corporation Common Stock in consideration for the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of a CAH public warrant, each CAH public warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by LumiraDx and become one LMDX new warrant exercisable for one LMDX common share in accordance with its terms.

Closing; Effective Time

The Closing will occur as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three business days, after the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of the conditions to the completion of the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, provided that the occurrence of the Closing shall remain subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of such conditions at the Closing).

The Effective Time of the Merger will occur at the time of filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the Closing Date, in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL.

Exclusivity

From the date of the Merger Agreement and ending on the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement, LumiraDx shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries and their respective representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (A) undertake any action related to the consummation of a public offering or other registration of securities or (B) (x) enter into, knowingly solicit, initiate or continue any discussions or negotiations with, or knowingly encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or participate in any negotiations with, or provide any information to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any person or other entity or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), with respect to a business combination or other similar transaction (including any merger or other related structure intended to accomplish the same) between LumiraDx or any of its subsidiaries and any special purpose acquisition company other than CAH (an “Alternative Transaction”), (y) enter into any agreement regarding, continue or otherwise knowingly participate in any discussions regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, or cooperate in any way that would otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to, any Alternative Transaction or (iii) commence, continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding any Alternative Transaction; provided that the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the transaction documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby shall not be deemed a violation of this provision. LumiraDx shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and its and their respective affiliates and representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with respect to any Alternative Transaction conducted heretofore. If LumiraDx or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their respective representatives receives any inquiry or proposal with respect to an Alternative Transaction at any time prior to the Closing, then LumiraDx shall promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four hours after becoming aware of such inquiry or proposal) notify such person in writing that LumiraDx is subject to an agreement that prohibits it from considering such inquiry or proposal.

From the date of the Merger Agreement and ending on the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement, except to the extent it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the CAH Board, CAH shall not and shall cause its respective representatives acting on its behalf not to, directly or indirectly,

106

(i) enter into any written indication of interest, proposal or offer from any third party relating to a CAH Alternative Transaction or (ii) enter into any understanding, arrangement, agreement, agreement in principle or other commitment (whether or not legally binding) with a third party relating to a CAH Alternative Transaction. A “CAH Alternative Transaction” shall mean any “initial business combination” under CAH’s initial public offering prospectus with any third party (other than with LumiraDx or its affiliates), that is anticipated to be announced on or prior to the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, CAH may continue to conduct ordinary course discussions with other companies and their representatives, perform due diligence review of such companies and take such actions to facilitate such discussions and review including, entering into non-disclosure agreements, preliminary indications of interests, exclusivity agreements or non-binding letters of intent, in each case, with respect to any transaction that is not a CAH Alternative Transaction.

Background of the Merger

The terms of the Merger Agreement are the result of arm’s-length negotiations between representatives of CAH and representatives of the Company. The following is a brief discussion of the background of these negotiations, the Merger Agreement and Merger.

CAH is a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, formed in Delaware on October 7, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. CAH’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to any particular industry or geographic region, but CAH’s intent has been to capitalize on the CAH management team’s differentiated ability to source, acquire and manage a business in the healthcare industry, specifically healthcare services, healthcare information technology, care management, behavioral health, medical devices, diagnostics, pharmaceutical services, health and wellness and specialty pharmacy.

On January 29, 2021, CAH completed its initial public offering. Prior to the consummation of its initial public offering, neither CAH, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a business combination with CAH. After its initial public offering, CAH’s officers, directors and advisors immediately commenced a robust target sourcing and due diligence process to identify and assess prospective businesses and/or assets to acquire in its initial business combination. Upon news of the closing of its initial public offering, CAH and its representatives also received numerous inbound indications of interest from individuals and entities regarding potential acquisition opportunities, including financial advisors and other members of the financial and healthcare communities.

Notwithstanding the exclusivity agreement with the Company discussed below, and as permitted thereunder, CAH continued its efforts to identify alternative acquisition targets in the event that it determined not to proceed with the transaction with the Company. From the date of the completion of its initial public offering through the signing of the Merger Agreement with the Company on April 6, 2021, CAH and its representatives engaged with numerous individuals and entities in the process of sourcing and analyzing companies with whom to engage in a potential business combination. During that period, Messrs. Larry Neiterman (Chief Executive

110

Officer), Jeff Barnes (President), David Lang (Director), David Klein (Director) and Afsaneh Naimollah (Director) of CAH and CAH’s advisors, Messrs. Tom Cibotti, Tim McMahon and James Vandervelden:

•

developed a list of over 75 business combination candidates;

•

completed video and telephone calls with owners and stakeholders of approximately 30 potential target businesses;

•

completed video meetings with management of approximately 15 potential target businesses; and

•

identified four target company finalists (including the Company and three other alternative acquisition targets) for further evaluation and due diligence, all in the healthcare and healthcare IT industry sectors.

The decision not to pursue the alternative acquisition targets was generally the result of one or more of (i) CAH’s determination that these businesses did not represent as attractive a target as the Company due to a combination of business prospects, strategy, management teams, structure and valuation or (ii) CAH’s decision to pursue a business combination with the Company.

Tom Cibotti and other advisors of CAH are members of Covington Associates. Mr. Cibotti and Covington Associates have an over 25-year business relationship with the Chief Executive Officer and each of the LMDX Founder Directors. Since 1993 Covington Associates and CA Advisors, an affiliate of Covington Associates, have provided investment banking services to two unaffiliated companies, Inverness and Alere, previously managed by the LMDX Founder Directors. During that period, Covington Associates advised Inverness and Alere on approximately 32 M&A and debt placement transactions.

Certain members of Covington Associates have also been involved with the LumiraDx group since its formation in mid-2014, including serving as equity and debt placement advisors to the Company and participating in many of the Company’s board meetings. Since 2014, CA Advisors has advised the Company on numerous potential business opportunities, including the closing of two debt transactions. Some of the Covington Associates principals, as well as some other members of the sponsor and CA Advisors, an affiliate of Covington Associates, have personally invested in the Company. Members of the sponsor and CA Advisors own as of April 1, 2021 LMDX ordinary shares, LMDX common shares, convertible notes and warrants issued by LumiraDx that, in the aggregate and following the conversion of such convertible notes and exercise of such warrants, equal to approximately 359,920 LMDX ordinary shares and 106,260 LMDX common shares, to be adjusted in the Capital Restructuring and Subdivision pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and which represent less than one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Company’s fully-diluted equity.

On January 15, 2021, the Company filed a F-1 registration statement in connection with a potential initial public offering. CA Advisors had been aware of the Company’s consideration of an initial public offering.

On January 28, 2021, CAH engaged Sidley Austin LLP (“Sidley Austin”) to provide legal advice in connection with its pursuit of a business combination, including assistance with documenting a transaction and conducting legal due diligence, following the anticipated closing of its initial public offering on January 29, 2021.

111

On January 29, 2021, CAH completed its initial public offering. Immediately following the closing of CAH’s initial public offering, and as part of CAH’s broader sourcing process, Tom Cibotti contacted Ron Zwanziger, CEO of the Company, on behalf of CAH to discuss the possibility of CAH pursuing a business combination with the Company. Given that CAH was aware of the Company’s existing filing of its initial public offering documents and interest by other SPACs, CAH reached out early in the process to determine if a transaction was feasible. Mr. Zwanziger indicated that although the Company had filed its F-1 in pursuit of a traditional initial public offering, it was considering delaying that process in order to pursue potential M&A alternatives, including a potential deSPAC transaction, and he reiterated that the Company had been contacted by multiple SPACs. Mr. Zwanziger indicated that the Company had already been in discussions with several SPACs regarding an initial business combination, and was in receipt of a proposal from that SPAC at an enterprise valuation of $5 billion to $6 billion. Given the long-standing business relationship with Mr. Cibotti and other members of the CAH sponsor group, and in light of CAH’s in-depth understanding of the healthcare sector (and diagnostics specifically), Mr. Zwanziger communicated that he would be interested in discussing a potential business combination, but considering where the Company was in the process of both its initial public offering as well as advanced discussions with an alternative SPAC regarding an initial business combination, CAH would have to act quickly to evaluate the Company and make a decision regarding submission of an indication of interest or letter of intent.

On January 29, 2021, after the discussions between Messrs. Cibotti and Zwanziger, CAH had its first board meeting to discuss multiple topics, including the process for sourcing and evaluating potential business combination targets. At that meeting, Mr. Cibotti discussed his conversation with Mr. Zwanziger and the prospects of a potential opportunity with the Company. Given CAH’s awareness of the Company management team’s experience in the industry, as well as the sponsor’s deep familiarity and longstanding relationship with the Company, CAH’s board of directors determined that CAH would be able to move more quickly with its analysis and due diligence of the Company than with other potential targets in order to submit a letter of intent to the Company on the expedited timeframe laid out by Mr. Zwanziger. As such, the CAH board of directors agreed to authorize management to move forward with that process in order to submit a letter of intent to the Company, or the LOI.

On January 29, 2021, Mr. Cibotti submitted an initial draft LOI to Ron Zwanziger, Dorian LeBlanc and Veronique Ameye of the Company, which outlined certain of the structural, timing, governance and other terms and conditions of the potential Merger, as well as CAH’s requirements with respect to its confirmatory due diligence and valuation process, but did not indicate a valuation range or definitive structure.

On January 30, 2021, in order to facilitate CAH’s due diligence and valuation process, CAH executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the Company and received access to the Company’s data room, which included robust amounts of financial, legal and business documents and information regarding the Company.

On January 30, 2021, after an initial review of the data room materials by CAH and its advisors, Messrs. Cibotti and Vandervelden had telephonic discussions with Dorian LeBlanc, the Company’s CFO.

From February 1, 2021, through February 7, 2021, CAH and its advisors held several telephonic discussions with the Company’s management team to discuss the Company’s business and to negotiate the Company’s valuation and other terms and conditions of a potential business combination in order to progress the LOI. Throughout the LOI negotiation, CAH’s management and advisors kept members of CAH’s board of director apprised of the status of the negotiations. The terms and conditions negotiated in the LOI included, but were not limited to, valuation, minimum cash and redemption amounts as related to the closing conditions, the impact of redemptions and exclusivity rights related to each party’s ability to continue talking to others on transaction related topics.

After consideration of the Company’s financial information, comparable company valuation analyses, the Company’s business and financial prospects and certain other recent arm’s-length valuations that the Company had received from other SPACs, CAH and the Company negotiated between a $5 billion and $6 billion potential pre-money equity value of the Company.

112

From February 1, 2021, through March 31, 2021, representatives of CAH and the Company held multiple telephonic and video meetings regarding total available market (“TAM”) for LumiraDx’s products, valuation metrics and comparable company analyses.

On February 1, 2021, Mr. Cibotti and Mr. Vandervelden received a markup of CAH’s LOI from Ms. Ameye. This markup proposed a pre-money equity valuation of $6 billion and provided comments on various other terms and conditions included in the LOI.

Cibotti, Vandervelden, McMahon, Neiterman and Ross had a video call with Sidley Austin discussing the various terms of the LOI, including, but not limited to: the Company’s pre-money equity value; the possibility of a private investment in public equity (“PIPE”); the exclusivity obligations on CAH; and the distribution of voting shares of the Company upon the consummation of the potential Merger.

On February 2, 2021, Mr. Vandervelden, Mr. LeBlanc and Ms. Ameye had a telephonic discussion with Sidley Austin regarding the LOI, including specifically structuring the Merger in order to preserve the Company’s ability to qualify as a foreign private issuer after the Merger.

On February 4, 2021, Messrs. Cibotti, Vandervelden, McMahon, Neiterman and Ross further discussed on a video call with Sidley Austin the various terms of the LOI, including, but not limited to: the sponsor’s warrants and conversion ratio of such warrants for LMDX common shares; terms of the sponsor’s lock-up period; the transaction’s timetable; and reallocation of the underwriting commission from the CAH initial public offering.

On February 5, 2021, after consultation with members of CAH’s board of directors, and taking into consideration CAH’s initial financial and legal due diligence, comparable company valuation analyses, a previous valuation of a round of financing the Company raised in the fall of 2020, the Company’s business and financial prospects and the other recent arm’s-length valuation the Company had received from another SPAC, CAH offered the Company a $5 billion pre-money equity value for purposes of the LOI. CAH and the Company then executed a non-binding LOI. Among other terms, the LOI included an exclusivity provision prohibiting both the Company and CAH from entering into any LOI or definitive agreement with respect to an alternative SPAC initial business combination at any time prior to February 28, 2021 (the “Exclusivity Period”). During which period CAH would engage in confirmatory financial, legal, business and operational due diligence on the Company in order to confirm valuation and deal terms prior to entering into any definitive transaction agreements. CAH and the sponsor agreed to the Company’s request that the sponsor forfeit the 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants issued to it at the time of the CAH IPO, in exchange for 405,000 LMDX common shares. In addition, the sponsor agreed that if a certain percentage of the public shares are redeemed, the sponsor would forfeit a corresponding percentage of the CAH founder shares that would have otherwise converted into the LMDX common shares, provided that for the period from the Closing Date and up to December 31, 2021 LumiraDx, in its sole discretion, may elect to issue, on the same terms as provided for in the Merger Agreement, LMDX common shares in respect of some or all such forfeited shares to the sponsor.

The Merger Agreement and Sponsor Agreement were signed on April 6, 2021.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the CAH’s organizational documents that any business acquired by CAH have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial Merger. The balance of the funds in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the execution of the Merger Agreement with LumiraDx was approximately $115,000,000 million and 80% thereof represents approximately $92,000,000 million. In determining whether the 80% requirement was met, rather than relying on any one factor, the Board concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation on a number of qualitative factors, such as management strength and depth, competitive positioning, customer relationships and technical skills, as well as quantitative factors, such as the anticipated implied equity value of the combined company being approximately $5.1 billion, CAH’s assessment that LumiraDx’s valuation was attractive compared to its competitive peers, the historical performance of LumiraDx and the potential for future growth in revenues and profits of LumiraDx. Based on the qualitative and quantitative information used to approve the Merger described herein, the Board determined that the foregoing 80% fair market value requirement was met. The Board believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the acquisition met the 80% requirement.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger

When considering the recommendation of the Board that CAH stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Merger, CAH stockholders should be aware that CAH’s directors and executive officers, and entities affiliated with them, have interests in the Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of CAH stockholders. These interests include:

The investment banking services principally centered in the areas of M&A advisory services and debt placement activities. During the course of the over 25 year history, Covington Associates advised Inverness and Alere on approximately 32 M&A and debt placement transactions.

•

In 2019, CA Advisors earned a success fee in connection with their advisory services related to the senior secured debt facility provided by Kennedy Lewis. In lieu of cash CA Advisors success fee in connection with the $40 million Kennedy Lewis financing was paid by LumiraDx through the issuance of $250,000 of 5% notes.

•

Members of the sponsor and CA Advisors own as of April 1, 2021 LMDX ordinary shares, LMDX common shares, convertible notes and warrants in LumiraDx that, in the aggregate and following the conversion of such convertible notes and exercise of such warrants, equal to approximately 359,920 LMDX ordinary shares and 106,260 LMDX common shares, to be adjusted in the Capital Restructuring and Subdivision pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and which represent less than one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Company’s fully-diluted equity share capital.

•

If the Merger with LumiraDx or another business combination is not consummated by January 29, 2023 (or such later date as may be approved by CAH’s stockholders), CAH will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of the CAH stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the CAH founder shares held by the sponsor and CAH’s directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the CAH IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per share on Nasdaq on , 2021. On the other hand, if the Merger is consummated, each outstanding share of CAH common stock will be converted into LMDX common shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

•

The sponsor purchased 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants from CAH for $1.00 per CAH private placement warrant. These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the CAH IPO. All of the proceeds CAH received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such CAH private placement warrants had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per warrant on Nasdaq on , 2021 and the CAH common stock underlying the units had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per share on Nasdaq on , 2021. The CAH private placement warrants and the CAH common stock underlying the CAH private placement warrants will become worthless if CAH does not consummate a business combination by January 29, 2023 (or such later date as may be approved by CAH stockholders in an amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws). On the other hand, if the Merger is consummated, each outstanding whole CAH public warrant will become a LMDX new warrant exercisable to purchase one LMDX common share following consummation of the Merger and each outstanding share of CAH common stock will be converted into LMDX common shares. If the Merger is consummated, the CAH private placement warrants will be exchanged for 405,000 LMDX common shares.

•

If CAH is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the sponsor will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by CAH for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to CAH. If CAH consummates a business combination, on the other hand, CAH will be liable for all such claims.

119

•

The sponsor and CAH’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on CAH’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if CAH fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, CAH may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Merger or another business combination is not completed by January 29, 2023 (or such later date as may be approved by CAH stockholders in an amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws). As of the record date, the sponsor and CAH’s officers and directors and their affiliates had incurred approximately $ of unpaid reimbursable expenses.

•

The Merger Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of CAH’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering CAH’s current directors and officers.

•

CAH’s officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to CAH to fund certain capital requirements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no such loans have been made, but loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the Merger is not consummated, the loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to CAH outside of the trust account.

These financial interests of the officers and directors, and entities affiliated with them, may have influenced their decision to approve the Merger. You should consider these interests when evaluating the Merger and the recommendation of the proposal to vote in favor of the Merger and the charter proposals to be presented to CAH stockholders.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Merger is comprised of a series of transactions pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, referred to as the Merger. For accounting purposes, the Merger is effectuated in two main steps:

(1)

The exchange of shares held by CAH stockholders, which is accounted for as a recapitalization in accordance with IFRS.

(2)

The merger of Merger Sub with and into CAH, which is not within the scope of IFRS 3 (“Business Combinations”) since CAH does not meet the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3. Any difference between the fair value of LMDX common shares issued and the fair value of CAH’s identifiable net assets should to be recorded as additional paid-in capital. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, it is assumed that the fair value of each individual LMDX ordinary share issued to CAH stockholders is equal to the fair value of each individual LumiraDx shareholder resulting from the $5.0 billion equity value assigned to LumiraDx in the Merger Agreement.

Resolutions to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be voted upon is as follows:

“RESOLVED, that the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 6, 2021, by and among LumiraDx Limited, LumiraDx Merger Sub, Inc. and CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp., a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, as the same may be amended from time to time, is hereby adopted, approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects.”

Vote Required for Approval

120

against the Merger Proposal. The Transactions will not be consummated if CAH has less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act) either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Transactions.

The approval of the Merger Proposal and the charter proposals is a condition to the consummation of the Merger. If the Merger Proposal or any of the charter proposals are not approved, the other proposals (except the adjournment proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the CAH stockholders for a vote.

Recommendation of CAH Board of Directors

THE CAH BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE CAH STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of CAH’s directors or officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) or officer(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of CAH and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — Merger Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger” beginning on page 118 for a further discussion.

121

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE CHARTER PROPOSALS

The charter proposals, if approved, will approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of LumiraDx that will be in effect upon the closing of the Transactions and CAH’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation:

•

the name of the new public entity will be “LumiraDx Limited” as opposed to “CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp.”;

•

the authorized share capital of the new public entity will be US$10,290 divided into, assuming completion of the Subdivision, 2,888,343,328 LMDX ordinary shares with a par value (to seven decimal places) of $0.0000017 per LMDX ordinary share, (2) 2,888,343,328 LMDX common shares with a par value (to seven decimal places) of $0.0000017 per LMDX common share and (3) undesignated shares of such class or classes (however designated) as the board of LumiraDx may determine, as opposed to CAH having 110,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock;

•

The new public entity has two classes of shares such that each holder of LMDX common shares will be entitled to one vote for each such share and each holder of LMDX ordinary shares will be entitled to ten votes for each such share;

•

The new public entity shall have two classes of directors, other than the LMDX Founder Directors, serving staggered terms, with the terms of Class I and Class II directors expiring at the annual general meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022 and 2023, respectively, and each term expiring two years thereafter, in each case; and

•

LumiraDx’s constitutional documents will not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that CAH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains.

This vote, however, will not actually result in stockholders of CAH approving LumiraDx’s constitutional documents or amendments to CAH’s corporate governing documents but instead will simply approve the aforementioned material differences in the two sets of documents.

In the judgment of CAH’s board of directors, the charter proposals are desirable for the following reasons:

•

The name of the new public entity is desirable to reflect the business combination with the Company and the combined business going forward.

•

The higher limit on the number of shares of capital stock which LumiraDx is authorized to issue is desirable for LumiraDx to have sufficient shares to issue to the holders of CAH common stock and CAH warrants to complete the merger and have additional authorized shares for financing their businesses, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits.

•

The LMDX Articles propose that each holder of LMDX common shares will be entitled to one vote for each such share and each holder of LMDX ordinary shares will be entitled to ten votes for each such share. This provision is desirable to enhance the continuity and stability of the board of directors.

•

The LMDX Articles provides a staggered board that is divided into two classes, other than the LMDX Founder Directors, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a two-year term. The classification of the LMDX Articles will enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the LumiraDx board of directors, avoid costly takeover battles, reduce LumiraDx’s vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of the LumiraDx board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with unsolicited offer to acquire the company.

122

•

The provisions that relate to the operation of CAH as a blank check company prior to the consummation of its initial business combination would not be applicable to LumiraDx (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated in a certain period of time).

For a comparison of CAH��s existing charter and LumiraDx’s proposed Amended and Restated Articles, please see the section entitled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” on page 238.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the higher limit on the number of authorized but unissued ordinary shares may enable LumiraDx’s board of directors to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of LumiraDx and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of LumiraDx’s securities. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, LumiraDx’s board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal were not in the best interests of LumiraDx, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without shareholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effect effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. The higher limit on the number of additional authorized shares will, however, enable LumiraDx to have the flexibility to authorize the issuance of shares in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. LumiraDx currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized shares for such purposes.

A copy of LumiraDx’s Amended and Restated Articles, as will be in effect assuming approval of the charter proposals and upon consummation of the Merger and adoption of the proposed Amended and Restated Articles, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. For a comparison of CAH’s existing charter and LumiraDx’s proposed Amended and Restated Articles, please see the section entitled Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” on page 238.

Required Vote

Adoption of the charter proposals will require the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding CAH shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote against the charter proposals. The approval of the Merger Proposal and the charter proposals is a condition to the consummation of the Merger. If the Merger Proposal or the charter proposals is not approved, the other proposal (except the adjournment proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the CAH stockholders for a vote.

The CAH board of directors unanimously recommends that CAH stockholders vote “for” the approval of the charter proposals.

123

PROPOSAL NO. 3 – THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The adjournment proposal allows CAH’s board of directors to submit a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event CAH is unable to consummate the Merger. In no event will CAH solicit proxies to adjourn the special meeting or consummate the Merger beyond the date by which it may properly do so under its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law. The purpose of the adjournment proposal, if applicable, is to provide more time for the sponsor, the Company, LumiraDx and/or their respective affiliates to make purchases of public shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the Merger and the charter proposals and to meet the requirements that are necessary to consummate the Merger. See the section titled “Proposal No. 1 - The Merger Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger” beginning on page 118.

In addition to an adjournment of the special meeting upon approval of the adjournment proposal, the board of directors of CAH is empowered under Delaware law to postpone the meeting at any time prior to the special meeting being called to order. In such event, CAH will issue a press release and take such other steps as it believes are necessary and practical in the circumstances to inform its stockholders of the postponement.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is not Approved

If the adjournment proposal is presented at the special meeting and is not approved by the stockholders, CAH’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date if CAH is unable to consummate the Merger (because either the Merger Proposal or the charter proposals is not approved or the conditions to consummating the Merger have not been met). In such event, the Merger would not be completed.

Required Vote

The approval of the adjournment proposal, if presented, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of CAH Shares represented and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting. Adoption of the adjournment proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

THE CAH BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT CAH STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

124

Academy of Medicine), from 2002 to 2007, was a member of IOM’s Global Health Board from 2002 to 2009, and served on former President Clinton’s Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Healthcare Industry from 1996 to 1999. Dr. Berwick was Vice Chair of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (1990-1995), independent member of the American Hospital Association Board of Trustees (1996-1999), and as Chair of the National Advisory Council of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (1999-2001). He has also served as Clinical Professor of Pediatrics and Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School and Professor Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health. He currently serves as Lecturer in the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Berwick received a A.B. in social relations from Harvard College, an M.D. from the Harvard Medical School, and an M.P.P. from the Harvard Kennedy School. We believe that Dr. Berwick is qualified to serve as a director based on his knowledge of the healthcare industry, health quality, and improvement requirements, as well as expertise in clinical medical sciences.

Bruce Edward Keogh, K.B.E., MD, F.R.C.S., F.R.C.P. Sir Bruce has served as a member of LumiraDx’s board of directors since January 2018. He is currently chair of the Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospitals in the U.K., a position he has held since January 2018. Following a distinguished career as a cardiac surgeon and professor at University College London, Sir Bruce was appointed Director General in the Department of Health and Medical Director of the NHS in 2007, a role from which he migrated to the board of a new independent NHS Commissioning Board (NHS England) in 2013. As England’s most senior doctor between 2007-2018, he was responsible for overall clinical policy and strategy and innovation for the NHS. This included medical and dental care, diagnostics and pharmacy. Prior to this, he served as a Commissioner on the boards of the healthcare regulators the Commission for Health Improvement and the Healthcare Commission from 2002 to 2007. He has served as President of the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in G.B. and Ireland, Secretary General of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, President of the Cardiothoracic Section of the Royal Society of Medicine and the board of directors of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons in the U.S. and the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

He was knighted for services to medicine in 2003 and listed by the Sunday Times in 2014 as one of Britain’s 100 most influential people. We believe that Sir Bruce is qualified to serve as a director based on his knowledge of the healthcare industry, health quality and improvement requirements as well as scientific and medical knowledge.

Amit Thakker, M.D. Amit Thakker has served as a member of LumiraDx’s board of directors since October 2019. Dr. Thakker is the Executive Chairman of Africa Health Business Ltd., a position he has held since May 2015.

Dr. Thakker received a degree from Strathmore College, a MBChB in Medicine from the University of Nairobi, and an executive M.B.A. from the National Insurance Academy. We believe that Dr. Thakker is qualified to serve as a director based on his knowledge of global health matters and primary care models in African countries. Dr. Thakker has notified LumiraDx that he will resign from its board of directors with effect from April 30, 2021. Dr. Thakker’s resignation is not due to any disagreement with LumiraDx, CAH or any matters relating to the company’s operations, policies or practices.

George Neble. George Neble has served as a member of LumiraDx’s board of directors since July 2020. From November 2012 to June 2017, Mr. Neble served as the Northeast Market Leader and Managing Partner of the Boston office of Ernst & Young LLP.

We believe that Dr. Chan is qualified to serve on our board of directors because of his extensive experience in life science investments and serving on boards of directors.

Corporate Governance Practices

LumiraDx is “foreign private issuer”, as defined by the SEC, and will continue to be a foreign private issuer following the completion of the Merger. As a result, in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, LumiraDx may rely on home country governance requirements and certain exemptions thereunder rather than complying with Nasdaq corporate governance standards. While LumiraDx intends to voluntarily follow certain Nasdaq corporate governance rules, the company may choose to take advantage of the following exemptions following the Merger:

•

Exemption from filing quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information or current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

•

Exemption from Section 16 rules requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades in a short period of time, which will provide less data in this regard than shareholders of U.S. companies that are subject to the Exchange Act receive.

•

Exemption from the Nasdaq listing requirement requiring disclosure of any waivers of the code of business conduct and ethics for directors and officers.

•

Exemption from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities, including shareholder approval of share option plans.

•

Exemption from the requirement that our audit committee have review and oversight over all “related party transactions”, as defined in Item 7.B of Form 20-F.

•

Exemption from the requirement that the board of directors have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

•

Exemption from the requirement to have independent director oversight of director nominations.

Although LumiraDx may rely on certain home country corporate governance practices, it must comply with Nasdaq listing rules. Further, LumiraDx must have an audit committee that satisfies Nasdaq listing rules, which addresses audit committee responsibilities and authority and requires that the audit committee consist of members who meet the independence requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules.

130

Because LumiraDx is a foreign private issuer, its directors and senior management are not subject to short-swing profit and insider trading reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. They will, however, be subject to the obligations to report changes in share ownership under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules.

Following the completion of the Merger, LumiraDx intends to take all actions necessary to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC and Nasdaq listing rules.

Accordingly, LumiraDx’s shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

Composition of the Board of Directors

LumiraDx’s board of directors is currently composed of eleven members and will be composed of ten members immediately following the completion of the Merger. As a foreign private issuer, under the listing rules of Nasdaq, LumiraDx is not required to have independent directors on its board of directors, except that the audit committee is required to consist fully of independent directors, subject to certain phase-in schedules. LumiraDx’s board of directors has determined that, of its eleven directors, no director other than Ron Zwanziger, Dave Scott, Jerry McAleer, and Troyen Brennan, has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these other directors is “independent” as that term is defined under Nasdaq listing rules.

The terms of LumiraDx’s arrangements with BMGF, Morningside and CVS (which are described in further detail in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—LumiraDx Related Person Transactions” beginning on page 233), grant each of BMGF, Morningside and (under certain circumstances) CVS the right to appoint a director to LumiraDx’s board of directors. Lu Huang is the designated director appointee of Morningside and Amit Thakker is the designated director appointee of BMGF. Under the applicable arrangements, the appointment rights shall terminate (i) in the case of BMGF or Morningside, once either party sells or no longer controls more than 25%; or (ii) in the case of CVS, once a sale or combination of sales results in it beneficially owning less than 75% , in each case of their respective initial holding of LMDX series A preferred shares (or LMDX ordinary shares following the conversion of such LMDX series A preferred shares into LMDX ordinary shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring). LumiraDx has been notified that Amit Thakker, M.D., BMGF’s board appointee, will resign from its board of directors with effect from April 30, 2021; however, BMGF will retain its right to appoint a director. Morningside and BMGF are also entitled to designate one person to attend all meetings of the board in an observer capacity and receive all documents and materials that are provided to each director. The observer rights granted to Morningside and BMGF will continue following the completion of the Merger.

In accordance with the terms of Amended and Restated Articles that will become effective immediately upon the completion of the Merger, the board of directors will be divided into three groups designated as the LMDX Founder Directors and the Class I and Class II directors. Each of the Class I and Class II directors will serve staggered two-year terms. Upon the expiration of the term of either the Class I or the Class II directors, the directors in that class will be eligible to be re-elected for a new two-year term at the annual general meeting of shareholders in the year in which their term expires. Directors assigned to Class I will initially serve until the first annual general meeting of shareholders following the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Articles, and directors assigned to Class II will initially serve until the second annual general meeting of shareholders following the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Articles. Each term of a Class I or Class II director will continue until the election of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal (in accordance with the provisions of LumiraDx’s Amended and Restated Articles). Any increase or decrease in the number of the Class I and Class II directors will be distributed among the two classes so as to make the two classes as nearly as equal in number as is reasonably practicable.

131

The number of founder directors is three and will be comprised of LumiraDx’s co-founders, Ron Zwanziger, Dave Scott and Jerry McAleer, or the LMDX Founder Directors. The LMDX Founder Directors will remain in office until a LMDX Founder Director resigns or otherwise ceases to be a director in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles. Any resolution to remove a LMDX Founder Director requires the voting approval of the LMDX ordinary shares held by Ron Zwanziger, our Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, and his affiliates (see the section titled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of CAH and LumiraDx” beginning on page 227). In the event a LMDX Founder Director retires or otherwise ceases to be a director in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles, the appointment of any replacement LMDX Founder Director will require the approval of Ron Zwanziger (for and on behalf of each of the LMDX Founder Directors).

Upon completion of the Merger:

•

The LMDX Founder Directors will be Ron Zwanziger, Dave Scott and Jerry McAleer;

•

The Class I directors will be Donald Berwick, George Neble and Lu Huang; and

•

The Class II directors will be Bruce Keogh, Lurene Joseph, Gerald Chan and Troyen Brennan.

The number of directors (other than any alternate directors) is at least three and is subject to any maximum number fixed from time to time by a resolution of the majority of the board of directors and the approval of the LMDX Founder Directors. Directors (other than a LMDX Founder Director) can be appointed to the board of directors by way of an ordinary resolution or a majority decision of the board, save that any vacancies on the board of directors (other than in the case of the LMDX Founder Directors) resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled by a majority decision of the board of directors only. This classification of the board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of LumiraDx.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The board of directors has one standing committee, which is the audit committee. The composition and responsibilities of the audit committee are described below. Members will serve on the audit committee until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the board of directors. In the future, the board of directors may establish other committees, as it deems appropriate, to assist with its responsibilities.

LumiraDx’s audit committee consists of George Neble, Lurene Joseph and Donald Berwick, and assists the board of directors in overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes. George Neble will serve as chairperson of our audit committee. The audit committee consists exclusively of members of the board who are financially literate, and George Neble is considered an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by applicable SEC rules and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable Nasdaq listing rules. The board has determined that all of the members of the audit committee satisfy the “independence” requirements set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

The audit committee will meet at least four times per year and oversee and review the internal controls, accounting policies and financial reporting, and provide a forum through which the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm reports. The audit committee will meet regularly with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm without management present. The audit committee will be governed by a charter compliant with Nasdaq listing rules, outlining the audit committee’s responsibilities, which will include:

•

recommending the appointment of the independent auditor to the annual general meeting of shareholders;

•

the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of any accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit services;

132

•

pre-approving the audit services and non-audit services to be provided by the Company’s independent auditor before the auditor is engaged to render such services;

•

evaluating the independent auditor’s qualifications, performance and independence, and presenting its conclusions to the full board of directors on at least an annual basis;

•

reviewing and discussing with management and the company’s independent registered public accounting firm the company’s financial statements and financial reporting process; and

•

reviewing, approving or ratifying any related party transactions.

LumiraDx has adopted a Code of Conduct, applicable to it and its subsidiaries’ employees, independent contractors, senior management and directors, including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A current copy of the Code of Conduct is posted on the LumiraDx website, which is located at www.lumiradx.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, LumiraDx’s website does not constitute a part of this prospectus and is not incorporated by reference herein.

DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Compensation of Management Team and Directors

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the aggregate of cash compensation accrued or paid and benefits in kind provided to the members of our board of directors and our management team for services in all capacities was $2,062,229 (mainly comprised of salary paid to the management team). In addition, we provided an equity grant of 55,000 options to George Neble on June 26, 2020 at an exercise price of $10.85, exercisable in equal installments over a four-year period from date of grant. Each option will expire ten years from the date of grant. Other than option grants and as stated in the foregoing sentences and as provided below, the members of our board of directors have not been compensated for their service to the company for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition to the amounts described above, the total amount accrued to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for our officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 was $103,119.

Effective February 1, 2021, each of the LMDX Founder Directors received an increase in annual salary to $515,000. In addition, in January 2021, Dave Scott received a special recognition bonus of $260,000 reflecting his contribution to our COVID-19 testing technology.

Agreements with our Management Team

In part, the compensation amounts described above are paid pursuant to offer letters with each management team member located in the U.S. (Ron Zwanziger, Thomas Quinlan, Peter Scheu, Dorian LeBlanc, and Pooja Pathak) and employment agreements or statement of employment conditions with each management team member located in the U.K. (Nigel Lindner, Jerry McAleer, Dave Scott, David Walton, and Veronique Ameye). The offer letters for our U.S. management team generally provide for at-will employment and eligibility to participate in our U.S.-based employee benefit plans, and do not contain any severance entitlements or non-competition or non-solicitation covenants. The employment agreements set forth for each U.K. management team member generally provide for the term of the employment, eligibility to receive pension benefits according to local law, and eligibility to participate in our U.K.-based employee benefit plans. The following U.K. based management team members are entitled to a payment in lieu of notice for certain non-cause terminations: consisting of four weeks for Dave Scott and Jerry McAleer, one week for Nigel Lindner and David Walton and the greater of (i) four weeks notice and (ii) one week’s notice for each completed year of service (up to a maximum of twelve weeks) for Veronique Ameye.

Founders Equity Awards

The LMDX Founder Directors have contributed to the Company as investors, but unusually had not received any equity compensation since the Company was founded. After receiving independent professional advice on appropriate quantum and conditions, on January 15, 2021, the Company therefore determined to grant “founder options” over LMDX ordinary shares to each of the three LMDX Founder Directors. Each LMDX Founder Director was granted (i) a fully vested option over 3,256,000 LMDX ordinary shares; and (ii) following shareholder approval obtained on February 1, 2021, an additional option over 1,753,400 LMDX ordinary shares, vesting over a two year period subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions. These options have an exercise price of $27.42 per LMDX ordinary share (before the Subdivision) and in the normal course expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company’s directors and management team members received the option grants described above pursuant to the LumiraDx Limited Consultants’ and Non-Employees’ Option Scheme, or the Consultant Plan, and the LumiraDx Limited Unapproved Option Scheme with U.S. Appendix, or the Employee Plan, and together with the Consultant Plan, the Equity Plans. No options may be granted under the Equity Plans after the date upon which the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan becomes effective.

134

Below is a description of the principal terms of the Equity Plans:

•

Types of Awards. The Equity Plans each permit the award of LMDX stock options over LMDX ordinary shares. Under the U.S. Appendix to the Employee Plan, incentive stock options may be issued to participants who are subject to tax in the U.S.

•

Plan Administration. The Company’s board of directors administers each Equity Plan and has the power to grant option awards under the Equity Plans.

•

Award Agreement. Option awards granted under the Equity Plans are evidenced by option certificates that set forth the terms of the option including the number of shares under option, exercise price, vesting schedule and any additional conditions.

•

Eligibility. Under the Consultant Plan, the Company may grant awards to consultants, non-employees who provide services to the Company or an affiliate, or any prospective employee nominated by the Company. Under the Employee Plan, the Company may grant awards to any executive director or any employee of the Company or an affiliate. Awards are made by the board of directors in its discretion, in consultation with the LMDX Founder Directors and managers, to further the interests of the Company by retaining and incentivizing the Company’s management team and board members and, further, by aligning such persons’ interests with the Company’s shareholders’ interests. Individual board members do not participate in the decision regarding their own awards.

•

Vesting Schedule. In general, the options vest 25% on the 12-month anniversary of the date of grant, 25% on the 24-month anniversary of the date of grant, 25% on the 36-month anniversary of the date of grant, and 25% on the 48-month anniversary of the date of grant. The board of directors may also specify a different vesting schedule in the relevant option certificate. Accelerated vesting is generally provided upon a sale of the company and certain reconstructions. There is no accelerated vesting on an initial public offering of the company’s shares. No options will accelerate solely as a result of the Merger.

•

Exercise of Options. The board of directors determines the exercise price for each option award, which is stated in the option certificate. The vested portion of each option grant will expire if not exercised prior to the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

•

Leavers. If an optionholder leaves their vested options remain exercisable for a specified length of time, unless the reason for leaving is gross misconduct or a disciplinary reason, in which case the options lapse. Unvested options will lapse on leaving unless the board of directors determines otherwise.

2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

The Company intends to adopt the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2021 Plan, which will be effective upon the date of completion of the Merger. The 2021 Plan allows the board of directors and compensation committee (if the Company has one (as applicable)) to make equity-based and cash-based incentive awards to eligible individuals, as described in the 2021 Plan and below. The material terms of the 2021 Plan are summarized below.

The Company has initially reserved a number of LMDX common shares reflecting 10% of its fully diluted share capital immediately after completion of the Merger, or the Initial Limit, for the issuance of awards under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2022, by an amount such that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the plan will equal 10% of the issued and outstanding number of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares on the immediately preceding December 31, or the Annual Increase. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, share dividend, share split, reverse share split or other similar change in the Company’s capitalization.

135

The LMDX common shares underlying any awards that are forfeited, cancelled, or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under the 2021 Plan or the Equity Plans will be added back to the LMDX common shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued in the form of incentive share options shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Initial Limit cumulatively increased on January 1, 2022, and on each January 1 thereafter of the Annual Increase for such year , and (ii) LMDX common shares.

The 2021 Plan will be administered by the Administrator, which will be either by the board of directors of the Company, the compensation committee (if the Company elects to have one) or a similar committee performing the functions of the compensation committee and such committee shall be, for any actions taken at or following the effectiveness of this registration statement, comprised of not less than two independent non-employee directors. The Administrator has full power to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the 2021 Plan. Persons eligible to participate in the 2021 Plan will be those full- and part-time employees, non-employee directors and consultants as selected from time to time by the Administrator in its discretion.

The 2021 Plan permits the granting of options to purchase LMDX common shares intended to qualify as incentive share options under Section 422 of the Code, and options that do not so qualify. The option exercise price of each option will be determined by the Administrator but for options granted to U.S. individuals, subject to certain exceptions, the option exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our LMDX common shares on the date of grant (and may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of LMDX common shares on the date of grant with respect to incentive share options granted to any employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all of the Company’s classes of such shares as of the date of grant). The term of each option will be fixed by the Administrator and may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant (and may not exceed 5 years from the date of grant with respect to incentive share options granted to any employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all of the Company’s classes of such as of the date of grant). The Administrator will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised.

The Administrator may award options to purchase LMDX common shares to participants subject to time- and/or performance-based vesting conditions and restrictions as it may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with the LumiraDx group through a specified vesting period.

The Administrator may award share appreciation rights subject to such time- and/or performance-based vesting and exercisability conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Share appreciation rights entitle the recipient to LMDX common shares, or cash, equal to the value of the appreciation in the LMDX common share price over the exercise price. The exercise price of each share appreciation right may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the LMDX common shares on the date of grant.

The Administrator may award restricted shares and restricted share units to participants subject to such time- and/or performance-based vesting and exercisability conditions and restrictions as it may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with us through a specified vesting period. The Administrator may also grant LMDX common shares that are free from any restrictions under the 2021 Plan, or unrestricted shares. Unrestricted shares may be granted to 2021 Plan participants in recognition of past services or other valid consideration and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation due to such participant. The Administrator may also grant cash-based awards under the 2021 Plan to participants, subject to the achievement of certain performance goals.

The 2021 Plan provides that in the case of, and subject to, the consummation of a “sale event” as defined in the 2021 Plan, all outstanding awards may be assumed, substituted or otherwise continued by the successor entity.

136

To the extent that the successor entity does not assume, substitute or otherwise continue such awards, then, except as otherwise provided in the relevant award agreement (i) all time-vesting options and share appreciation rights will automatically become fully vested and exercisable, all other awards with time-based conditions become fully vested and non-forfeitable, and awards with vesting and/or exercisability or settlement conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and non-forfeitable in connection with a sale event as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant award agreement, and (ii) upon the effectiveness of the sale event, the 2021 Plan and all awards will automatically terminate. In the event of such termination, (i) individuals holding options and share appreciation rights may be permitted to exercise such options and share appreciation rights (to the extent exercisable) prior to the sale event; or (ii) the Company may make or provide for a cash payment to participants in respect of their vested and exercisable awards, with the payment to those participants holding options and share appreciation rights equal to the difference between the per share cash consideration payable to shareholders in the sale event and the exercise price of the options or share appreciation rights (to the extent then exercisable), and the payments to the holders of other awards equal to an amount reflecting the per share consideration multiplied by the number of vested shares under such award.

The Company’s board of directors may amend or discontinue the 2021 Plan and the Administrator may amend or cancel outstanding awards for purposes of satisfying changes in law or any other lawful purpose, but no such action may adversely affect rights under an award without the holder’s consent. Except in response to a sale event or a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the Administrator may not exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding options or share appreciation rights or effect repricing through cancellation for cash or re-grants without prior shareholder approval. Certain amendments to the 2021 Plan require the approval of the Company’s shareholders.

The Administrator may modify the terms and conditions of any award granted to individuals outside of the United States to comply with foreign laws and may establish subplans and may modify the exercise procedures and other such procedures to the extent the Administrator determines such actions are necessary or advisable, provided, that no subplan shall increase the number of LMDX common shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan.

No awards may be granted under the 2021 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date upon which the Company’s shareholders approve the 2021 Plan and no incentive stock options many be granted after the tenth anniversary of the date the 2021 Plan is approved by the Company’s board of directors. No awards under the 2021 Plan have been made prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO CAH

Introduction

CAH was incorporated on October 7, 2020 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. CAH’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to any particular industry or geographic region, but CAH’s intent was to capitalize on their management team’s differentiated ability to source, acquire, and manage a business in the healthcare industry, specifically healthcare services, healthcare information technology, care management, behavioral health, medical devices, diagnostics, pharma services, health and wellness, and specialty pharmacy. Prior to executing the Merger Agreement, CAH’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its initial public offering and the evaluation of possible mergers or business combinations.

Initial Public Offering and Simultaneous Private Placement

On January 29, 2021, CAH consummated its initial public offering of 11,500,000 units, including 1,500,000 units under the underwriters’ over-allotment option, with each unit consisting of one share of CAH common stock and one half of one CAH public warrant, each whole warrant to purchase one share of CAH common stock. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, CAH consummated the private placement of 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $4,050,000.

After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to CAH from the initial public offering and private placement were $111,750,000 (up to an additional $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting expenses may be paid upon the completion of a business combination) and $4,050,000, respectively. Of these amounts, $115,000,000 was deposited into a U.S.-based trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Except as described in the prospectus for CAH’s initial public offering and described in the subsection entitled “Other Information Related to CAH – CAH’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” beginning on page 142, these proceeds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of an initial business combination and CAH’s redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares upon its failure to consummate a Merger within the required time period.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The target business or businesses that CAH acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial Merger, although CAH may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance. CAH’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Merger with LumiraDx as described in the section titled “Proposal No. 1 - The Merger Proposal - Satisfaction of 80% Test” beginning on page 118.

Stockholder Approval of Merger

Under CAH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in connection with any proposed merger, CAH must seek stockholder approval of an initial merger at a meeting called for such purpose at which public stockholders may seek to redeem their public shares for cash, provided that they vote on the proposed Merger (whether for or against), subject to the limitations described in the prospectus for CAH’s initial public offering. Accordingly, in connection with the Merger, the CAH public stockholders may seek to redeem their public shares for cash in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

138

Voting Intentions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting

In connection with any vote for a proposed merger, including the vote with respect to the Merger Proposal, all of CAH’s initial stockholders, including all of its officers and directors, have agreed to vote the CAH founder shares as well as any shares of CAH common stock acquired in the aftermarket in favor of such proposed Merger.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding CAH or its securities, the sponsor, the CAH founders, LumiraDx and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Merger Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of CAH’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the Merger Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the Merger be approved where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. All shares repurchased by CAH’s affiliates pursuant to such arrangements would be voted in favor of the proposed Merger. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements dealing with the above have been entered into by the sponsor, the CAH founders, LumiraDx or their respective affiliates.

Liquidation if No Merger

Under CAH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if CAH does not complete a merger or business combination by January 29, 2023, CAH will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of CAH’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to CAH’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. At such time, the CAH warrants will expire. Holders of CAH warrants will receive nothing upon a liquidation with respect to such rights and the CAH warrants will be worthless.

The sponsor and the CAH founders have each agreed to waive its rights to participate in any distribution from CAH’s trust account or other assets with respect to the CAH founder shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to CAH’s warrants, which will expire worthless if CAH is liquidated.

The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of CAH’s creditors which would be prior to the claims of the public stockholders. Although CAH has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses CAH has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, and although CAH will seek such waivers from vendors it engages in the future, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account notwithstanding such agreements. Accordingly, the actual per-share redemption price could be less than approximately $10.00, plus interest, due to claims of creditors. Additionally, if CAH is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in CAH’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of CAH’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, CAH cannot assure you it will be able to return to the public stockholders at least approximately $10.00 per share. CAH’s public stockholders are entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of its failure to complete a merger or business combination within the required time periods or if the stockholders properly seek to have CAH redeem their respective shares for cash upon a merger or business combination which is actually completed by CAH. In no other circumstances does a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

139

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The portion of CAH’s trust account distributed to the public stockholders upon the redemption of 100% of its outstanding public shares in the event CAH does not complete its initial business combination within the required time period may be considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the portion of CAH’s trust account distributed to the public stockholders upon the redemption of 100% of its public shares in the event CAH does not complete its initial business combination within the required time period is not considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six -years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidation distribution. If CAH is unable to complete a business combination within the prescribed time frame, it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of CAH’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, if a business combination does not occur, it is CAH’s intention to redeem its public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the expiration of the time periods described above and, therefore, CAH does not intend to comply with the procedures required by Section 280 of the DGCL, which would limit the amount and duration of CAH’s stockholders’ liability with respect to liquidating distributions as described above. As such, CAH’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of CAH’s stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

Because CAH will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(6) of the DGCL requires CAH to adopt a plan, based on facts known to it at such time that will provide for its payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years. However, because CAH is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and CAH’s operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from its vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses.

CAH will pay the costs of any subsequent liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account. If such funds are insufficient, CAH’s executive officers have agreed to pay the funds necessary to complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and have agreed not to seek repayment for such expenses.

Facilities

CAH currently maintains its principal executive offices at 99 Summer Street, Suite 200, Boston, MA 02110 and maintains other offices as provided to it by its officers. This space is provided by the sponsor at no cost to CAH. CA considers its current office space adequate for its current operations.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the principal executive offices of CAH will be those of LumiraDx, at which time nothing more will be paid to such affiliate of the sponsor.

140

Legal Proceedings

There is no material litigation, arbitration, governmental proceeding or any other legal proceeding currently pending or known to be contemplated against CAH, and CAH has not been subject to any such proceeding in the 10 years preceding the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

CAH has registered its securities under the Exchange Act and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, CAH’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by CAH’s independent registered public accounting firm.

CAH’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of CAH’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with CAH’s consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 89 and “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17 in this proxy statement/prospectus.

142

Critical Accounting Policies

For a more detailed discussion of CAH’s Accounting Policies, please see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of CAH included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

CAH accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within CAH’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. CAH’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered by CAH to be outside of CAH’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Results of Operations

CAH has not generated any revenues to date. CAH’s entire activity from inception up to the closing of the initial public offering on January 29, 2021 was in preparation for that event. Since the offering, CAH’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates, and CAH will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of its initial business combination. CAH expects to generate small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income is not expected to be significant in view of current low interest rates on risk-free investments (treasury securities). CAH currently incurs increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the period from October 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, CAH had losses from operations of approximately $2,263,000 representing formation and operating costs. These costs consisted mainly of professional and consulting fees, rent and office administrative costs.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The net proceeds from CAH’s initial public offering and private placement were $115,800,000. Of this amount, $115,000,000 was placed in the trust account. $800,000 of net proceeds not in trust have been, and will continue to be, used for working capital purposes.

CAH intends to use the net proceeds of its initial public offering and simultaneous private placement, including the funds held in the trust account and funds made available to it by CAH’s officers and directors, to acquire a target business and to pay its expenses relating thereto. To the extent that CAH’s capital stock is used

143

in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account, as well as any other net proceeds not expended, will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing and R&D of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees, which CAH had incurred prior to the completion of the Merger if the funds available to CAH outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

Generally, the proceeds held in the trust account will not be released to CAH until the earlier of CAH’s completion of an initial business combination and its redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares upon our failure to consummate a business combination prior to January 29, 2023. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be released to CAH from the trust account any interest earned on the funds in the trust account that CAH needs to pay its income or other tax obligations.

As of January 29, 2021, the date of the closing of the CAH IPO, CAH had cash of approximately $800,000. In addition, CAH had $115,000,000 in cash and equivalents held in trust for use in a business combination.

Until consummation of an initial business combination, CAH will be using the funds not held in the trust account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

CAH did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2020.

Code of Ethics

In January 2021, CAH’s board of directors adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of CAH’s executive officers, directors and employees. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of CAH’s business. CAH will provide, without charge, upon request, copies of its code of ethics. Requests for copies of CAH’s code of ethics should be sent in writing to CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp., 99 Summer Street, Suite 200, Boston, MA 02110.

BUSINESS OF LUMIRADX

In this section “we,” “us” and “our” refer to LumiraDx.

Summary

We are a next-generation POC diagnostic company addressing the current limitations of legacy POC systems by bringing lab-comparable performance to the POC in minutes on a single instrument with a low cost of ownership. We are focused on transforming community-based healthcare by providing critical diagnostic information to healthcare providers at the point of need, thereby enabling more informed medical decisions to improve health outcomes while lowering costs. We have developed and launched our Platform, which is an integrated system comprised of a small, versatile Instrument, precise, low-cost microfluidic test strips, and seamless, secure digital connectivity. We currently have five tests available on our Platform and a broad menu of tests in development. Our proprietary Platform is designed to simplify, scale down, and integrate multiple testing methodologies onto a single instrument and offer a broad menu of tests with lab-comparable performance at a low cost and with results generally in 10 minutes or less from sample to result. With our Platform, our goal is to address the key challenges faced by healthcare providers in providing efficient and cost-effective patient care in a community setting.

We are initially focused on the development of tests for several of the most common conditions diagnosed or managed in community-based healthcare settings. For many of the tests we commercialize, or plan to commercialize, there are no existing high performance POC alternatives. Our initial authorized and CE Marked tests and those under development are designed to address unmet diagnostic needs in the fields of infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and coagulation disorders. To date, we have developed and launched five diagnostic tests for use with our Instrument: our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test commercially available (i) under EUA in the United States which authorizes the emergency use of the test during the period in which an emergency declaration remains in effect, (ii) a CE Mark in the European Economic Area and U.K., (iii) approvals in Japan and Brazil, and (iv) ability to sell in Africa and elsewhere based on such approvals, as well as our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test, our INR test and our D-Dimer test, all of which are CE Marked.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting acute need for timely diagnostic information, we have developed our SARS-CoV-2 antigen and SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests for use in community-based healthcare settings. Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen and SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests have demonstrated highly accurate results within minutes on our Instrument. We have obtained an EUA and a CE Mark for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test. We have commercial sales of our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test in Europe, Japan, Brazil and the U.S. to customers, including NHS and CVS and have made shipments of Instruments and SARS-CoV-2 antigen test strips to a large number of countries in Africa as part of our collaboration with BMGF.

As of March 31, 2021, we have shipped more than 13,000 Instruments with over 800 customers across more than 60 countries and have more than 1,200 staff across the globe. Our current global manufacturing production capacity is over 1,000 Instruments per week and more than 15 million tests per month, which has been ramping up significantly since September 2020 and expect to increase to 35-45 million in the fall of 2021. Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has been authorized by FDA under an EUA only for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein and has not been authorized for use to detect any other viruses or pathogens. In addition, the CE Mark process is a self-certification process where we self-declare as a manufacturer that we have checked the product meets European Economic Area safety, health and environmental requirements. Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has not been cleared or approved by FDA or any other regulatory body, and therefore we cannot, until such time as such clearance or approval has been obtained, market such test in the U.S. following the termination of the EUA. We have submitted an EUA request to FDA and obtained a CE Mark for our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test.

145

In laboratory and clinical studies, our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test demonstrated a very low LOD of 32 TCID50 per mL and high sensitivity and specificity within a detection window of 12 days from onset of symptoms and delivered results within 12 minutes or less. Our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test demonstrated 100% sensitivity in fingerstick blood samples collected more than eight days post PCR and results delivered within 11 minutes. We believe that offering our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test and SARS-CoV-2 antibody test on a single Platform with superior performance over a wide detection time has the potential to greatly improve the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection and infectivity, enable large-scale population monitoring and facilitate management of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test is currently being used and implemented in various testing programs across the U.S., U.K. and other European countries, Japan, Brazil, Africa and elsewhere, including in accident and emergency departments, care homes, retail pharmacies and other primary care settings. Even with the continued roll out of COVID-19 vaccines, we expect there to be continued need for diagnostic testing. In addition, in the professional POC settings where our Platform is placed, customers are looking to implement comprehensive POC testing within their institutions leveraging both (i) our broad menu as well as (ii) our quality, compliance and data management infrastructure.

We also see significant opportunity in the low complexity mass screening or home COVID-19 testing market. Therefore, based on the same chemistry and test strip design as our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test on our Platform, we have started development of our Amira System, which we are designing as a high-sensitivity mass screening and home testing system for COVID-19. We plan to manufacture and distribute our Amira System at a price and volume that enables mass testing required to support a safe, normal and open economy. Subject to completion of product development, regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance for professional and home use, market demand and manufacturing scale-up of the Amira System, we currently expect a manufacturing capacity of 10 million tests per day by the fall of 2021 and expect multiples of 10 million tests per day by the end of 2021 for our Amira System, depending on market need for mass screening testing. We anticipate the retail price of our Amira System and Amira COVID-19 test to be between $2.00-$4.00 per test, significantly lower than many existing COVID-19 tests currently on the market as well as the equivalent tests on our Instrument. For very high-volume purchases and shipments to middle and low income countries, or LMICs, we expect the price to be lower. We currently have a prototype Amira System including strips, device and patient application. We expect to move to design freeze at system level shortly. We are simultaneously tooling up high volume manufacturing lines, for the strip and instrument, while we progress through design freeze and the verification and validation (V&V) phase.

We have also used our technology to develop two rapid COVID-19 reagent testing kits for use on open molecular systems, LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR and SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR Complete. LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR allows laboratories to utilize their existing molecular lab infrastructure in a high-throughput format by reducing amplification time from approximately one hour down to 12 minutes. LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR Complete utilizes a direct amplification method that combines lysis and amplification in a single step, detecting SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in under 20 minutes, without needing to perform any specimen purification or extraction. We have obtained EUAs for LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR and SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR Complete and commenced commercial sales.

On the LumiraDx Platform, we currently have a pipeline of more than 30 tests in various stages of development for the community-based healthcare settings and plan to launch additional tests, subject to successful development and regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance. Our key tests under development include: Flu A/B + SARS-CoV-2 antigen for respiratory infectious disease; high sensitivity troponin I for cardiovascular disease; CRP for infectious disease; and HbA1c for diabetes. Our tests are subject to extensive regulatory requirements and we seek to obtain regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance on a test-by-test basis. We are focused on commercializing our tests on pace with receipt of the requisite regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance and delays in commercialization of our tests or decreases in the expected market demand for our tests could adversely impact our operations and

146

financial results. We have also entered into R&D collaborations with well-established diagnostic companies that have market-leading assays and capabilities in specific conditions to further accelerate the expansion of the test menu for our Platform. See the section titled “Business of LumiraDx—Research and Development” for additional details on our R&D collaboration agreements. Additionally, our R&D team is focused on continuous enhancement of our disruptive technologies.

The diagnostics industry, including IVD and POC systems, is rapidly evolving, and we face competition from established diagnostics companies as well as new market entrants. We believe the principal competitive factors in our industry include flexibility and ease of use, time to result, accuracy, reputation, price, innovation and compatibility with existing processes. Our five tests available on the Instrument compare favorably against the current tests available in the market based on sensitivity, time to result and ease of use, and our tests in development are designed and are being validated against their respective lab standard. Many of our competitors have greater brand recognition, resources, sales forces, intellectual property portfolios, larger customer bases and more established and larger scale manufacturing capabilities. We are working toward the large scale manufacturing and deployment of our SARS-CoV-2 antigen and antibody tests, but we, like our competitors, do not currently have the manufacturing, marketing or sales capacity to meet all of the expected demand for such tests. As a result, we may lose market share to our competitors if we are unable to produce and bring to market enough SARS-CoV-2 antigen and antibody tests to meet demand.

Our proprietary microfluidic test strip is designed to accommodate all of our assays and sample types in a single-design architecture. We can manufacture our test strips at large scale and low cost on our proprietary manufacturing system. We believe our scalable manufacturing process provides us with a sustainable cost position that allows us to provide cost-efficient diagnostic solutions to the POC market. It also enables us to expand into attractive geographies and alternative healthcare settings where high quality POC testing has previously not been feasible.

We believe our Platform and its attractive value proposition will have broad appeal to healthcare providers globally that are seeking innovative POC solutions to improve outcomes and lower costs. As such, we currently have direct sales and marketing operations in 17 countries, including the U.S., most Western European countries, Japan, South Africa, Colombia and Brazil, and over time plan to further expand to the largest in vitro diagnostic, or IVD, markets, including China, India and Southeast Asia. We sell mainly to large healthcare systems, government organizations and national pharmacy chains that can deploy comprehensive POC testing across their extensive healthcare provider networks.

Our Market Opportunity

Background

IVD tests are used to analyze patient samples to obtain information about a patient’s health status—to screen, diagnose or assess the risk of developing health issues as well as to select the appropriate therapy for a patient or monitor chronic disease patients. IVD testing is one of the most important tools for a healthcare provider to determine the needs of his or her patients and is primarily conducted in one of two locations—either (i) in a central, or “reference,” laboratory, or central lab, or (ii) at the POC, where the healthcare provider first meets with the patient and assesses the patient’s condition. POC locations include hospital emergency departments as well as a range of other community-based healthcare settings, including physician offices, retail pharmacies, urgent care centers, community health clinics and non-traditional health care settings, which we refer to collectively as community-based healthcare settings. According to Kalorama, a source of industry information, the global market for all IVD tests was $69.2 billion in 2019.

Central labs, which can be either hospital-based or independent, are designed to run a broad menu of accurate and cost-effective tests often in high-volume. Central labs do not generally obtain samples directly from patients, but instead rely on samples being sent to them from remote collection locations, such as a physician’s office or an urgent care center. Depending on the specific test, several hours to weeks may elapse between

147

sample collection and results. Reporting delays have the potential to impact patient care especially in acute situations. Remote sample collection also increases cost, introduces the risk of error, sample spoilage or loss and creates other logistical complications.

By contrast, POC tests have numerous advantages over tests performed at central labs. Test results are delivered more quickly than central lab tests since they are performed at or near the site of patient care. This allows for faster and more informed patient care decisions, patient counseling and triaging of patients.

POC Market Overview

We estimate that the POC market was $12 billion in 2019, growing to $17 billion over the next five years (excluding the market for COVID-19 testing). We believe that the growth rate in the POC market will be larger than the growth rate for the broader IVD testing market for the foreseeable future. Several key trends are contributing to the rapid growth of this market, each of which is driven by healthcare providers’ need for real-time diagnostic information that can be used to improve patient compliance and outcomes while lowering costs relative to hospital-based care.

•

Shift towards community-based healthcare. Escalating healthcare costs are driving demand for innovative models and technologies that can lower the cost of care while improving outcomes. POC testing is one of the innovations that is enabling such a shift in care into community-based healthcare settings. These settings provide direct patient access and are more convenient and cost-effective alternatives to hospital emergency departments for nonemergency conditions. Uptake of POC testing in these settings is driven by healthcare providers’ need for real-time diagnostic information that can be applied to improve patient outcomes and compliance, while lowering costs relative to hospital-based care. With reimbursement increasingly based on effectiveness of care, POC testing has been an effective tool for objectively measuring improvements in outcomes particularly for chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. For example, POC HbA1c testing for diabetes patients at primary care settings enables healthcare providers to guide patient treatment decisions in real time. Similarly, POC flu testing at retail pharmacies allows for actionable results, including immediate access to adequate over-the-counter medicines.

•

Improving health outcomes for patients. As general health awareness increases and the cost of healthcare rises, systems, employers and individuals are increasingly focused on prevention and monitoring in order to reduce their healthcare expenses. Thus, employers and systems providing, and individuals purchasing, health benefits are incentivized to better manage health and take steps to reduce the cost of benefits. For all these stakeholders, the greater focus on wellness, prevention and active management of chronic diseases is easier to realize in community-based healthcare settings rather than at the hospital. Furthermore, POC testing has become a useful tool for wellness screening and to support employer-driven diagnostics directly at the work place. For example, POC COVID-19 testing is a key tool for employers to safely and effectively re-open their workplaces.

•

Improvements in POC testing technology. In certain testing areas, technological advancements have closed the quality gap between testing capabilities at central labs and POC locations, leading to higher confidence and greater adoption of POC testing. For example, the introduction of POC molecular tests for the flu and Strep A, as well as the quantitative HbA1c, have greatly increased diagnostic accuracy and therefore expanded the amount of testing at the POC. Additionally, POC testing in hospitals reduces overcrowding and length of stay and accelerates access to care, particularly when used for emergency room triage purposes.

148

Select POC Market Segments

POC testing is applicable across a wide range of medical conditions and the number of tests available at POC continues to expand. Currently, some of the most common conditions being diagnosed or managed with POC testing include certain infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and coagulation disorders. We are initially focused on these four areas.

•

Infectious disease testing is used principally to screen, diagnose and monitor patients for a wide variety of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and other contagious agents responsible for COVID-19, influenza, Strep A, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, malaria, dengue fever and others. We estimate that the global infectious disease POC market was $1.3 billion in 2019 growing to over $2.5 billion over the next five years (excluding the market for COVID-19 testing). We estimate that the global market for COVID-19 testing utilizing existing technology platforms across molecular, antigen and antibody testing will be $25 billion in 2021 which estimate could be highly variable depending on vaccine distribution and the impact of the severity and length of the global pandemic. Growth of the global COVID-19 POC market is being driven by rapid increases in cases in certain countries with continued outbreaks, additional governments and employers mandating testing in order to “re-open” the economy, and businesses lacking the availability of concrete data to determine what level of immunity is conferred by exposure to COVID-19, which will likely dictate multiple tests required per person, and potential extended development timelines for therapeutics and/or vaccines. The market for COVID-19 testing will depend in large part on the severity and length of the global pandemic, various variants, which in turn could be greatly impacted by the availability and effectiveness of the recently authorized COVID-19 vaccines and any other vaccines subsequently authorized or approved. These market estimates are based on relatively low frequency and low penetration assumptions for screening and we believe there could be a further latent demand for 5 to 15 billion incremental tests in the near term at a low cost that enables more comprehensive screening across schools, workplaces and in the home to support a safe, normal and open economy. In addition, professional or home use testing may be used for infectious disease mass screening applications beyond COVID-19 testing.

•

Cardiovascular testing is used principally to diagnose, monitor and predict outcomes for a range of acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions such as myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and acute coronary syndrome. By coupling cardiac biomarkers such as troponin, CK-MB and myoglobin, with cholesterol testing and patient histories, healthcare providers have been moving toward the prevention of disease such as coronary thrombosis and stroke by accurately assessing risks. We estimate that the global cardiovascular POC market was approximately $1 billion in 2019, growing to nearly $1.4 billion over the next five years. Baseline growth is driven by demographic trends, such as an aging global population, as well as a continuing increase in obesity in many parts of the world. We believe there is an opportunity to further expand this market through advancements in technology that will bring tests principally performed at central labs to the POC. For example, tests for troponin, a critical marker for determining whether chest pain is caused by a heart attack or by other factors, is currently predominately performed in central labs.

•

Diabetes testing is used principally for the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of diabetes as well as comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia and includes testing for glucose and HbA1c. We estimate that the global diabetes POC market was nearly $2.4 billion in 2019, growing to $3 billion over the next five years. Growth is being driven by demand for continuous glucose testing for critical care in intensive care units as well as increasing use of HbA1c tests in community-based healthcare settings to monitor how well patients are managing diabetes. We believe there is an opportunity to increase the percentage of HbA1c testing conducted at the POC with an accurate, affordable product. Additionally, given the high rate of

149

comorbidities associated with diabetes, we believe there is an unmet need for POC glucose test panels that include companion tests, such as lipids, creatine and HbA1c.

•

Coagulation testing is used principally to diagnose, monitor and predict the progression of disorders involving coagulation, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, commonly known as blood clots, and hemophilia. Patients at risk of heart attacks might be prescribed anticoagulants (often called “blood thinners”) to prevent clots from forming. As with blood sugar levels, maintaining the right blood chemistry is critical to the health of these patients. We estimate that the global coagulation POC market was nearly $1 billion in 2019, growing to over $1.2 billion over the next five years. Growth is being driven by increasing use of two blood markers: INR, which is used principally to manage patients taking the anticoagulant warfarin, and D-Dimer, which is used to diagnose clotting disorders.

Limitations of Current POC Systems

Despite the trends towards community-based healthcare settings and related need for near patient testing, the promise of better outcomes and lower costs have not been fully realized. We believe that to achieve better health outcomes, healthcare providers require comprehensive diagnostic solutions that can provide fast, accurate test results at the POC, for a broad range of their testing needs all at reasonable cost. The traditional approach to POC test development—initially focusing on a specific medical condition and subsequently designing a test and instrument to deliver that specific application—has limited scalability and has resulted in a proliferation of instruments at the POC with the following major limitations:

•

Poor clinical performance in areas of high clinical need. Many of the most common medical conditions diagnosed or managed in community-based healthcare settings require tests that involve complex methodologies to generate the accurate and reliable diagnostic information required for medical decisions. The complexity can range considerably by test depending on the sample type and the concentration and dynamic range of the desired analyte, and thus require many steps in the assay to achieve the desired performance specifications. For example, troponin assays that are used to rule out a potential heart attack require fast and high sensitivity measurements of very low analyte concentrations seeing the importance of immediate treatment decisions. These complexities have historically been difficult to overcome in benchtop POC systems in a timely manner. Therefore, community-based healthcare providers have sent such assays to central labs.

•

Limited test menu. Most currently available POC systems have been designed for a specific application (e.g., molecular, blood-based immunoassay or respiratory immunoassay) and are not readily adapted to other areas. For many conditions, healthcare providers often require multiple parameters to make treatment decisions. For example, proper management of cardiovascular disease patients requires regular monitoring of natriuretic peptides, lipids, ALT/AST, creatinine, blood glucose, electrolytes and other markers. Currently a healthcare provider would require multiple instruments to obtain this information at the POC and instead they are choosing to wait for lab results.

•

High cost of total ownership. In order to meet their diagnostic needs, healthcare providers are required to purchase multiple instruments and support the required infrastructure (e.g., refrigeration) to conduct POC testing. In addition, currently available instrument-based POC tests generally have a higher cost per test than their central lab counterparts. The overall cost per reportable result becomes prohibitive to a healthcare provider at the POC in certain areas which we believe leads to suboptimal care.

These limitations have created a POC model for diagnostic testing that has been ineffective, inefficient, costly and inaccessible to a large segment of community-based healthcare settings.

150

Our Solution

We have developed and launched our Platform with the aim of transforming the delivery of healthcare in community-based healthcare settings. It is designed to deliver accurate results comparable to laboratory reference assays, in an easy-to-use POC solution in minutes. Our Platform comprises (i) a small, light-weight Instrument that is mainly battery operated and capable of going anywhere the patient is located, (ii) precise, low-cost, microfluidic test strips, which share common design features allowing various test strip assay types to be operated, controlled and measured by the Instrument and (iii) seamless, secure digital connectivity.

We have spent years developing our Platform and have designed and optimized our Instrument and test strip together to deliver the requisite lab-comparable quality results where lab references are available across the full range of assay and sample types, at a low cost and with results generally in 10 minutes or less. Our Instrument has been highly engineered with many innovations which enable precise fluidic control of samples in very low volumes and high sensitivity fluorescent detection of analytes in very low concentration. Our proprietary microfluidic test strip has been designed to be integrated with our Instrument, to perform the specific and precise microfluidic sequence for the assays. Our test strip has been designed with multiple channels, enabling the Instrument to perform either multiple tests or a panel in parallel (e.g., Flu A/B + SARS-CoV-2 antigen), or utilize multiple channels on a single test strip for analytes with the most demanding performance requirements (e.g., SARS-CoV-2 antigen).

While our Instrument has been designed to perform multiple tests, as more tests are added to our Platform, we may encounter design challenges or require updates to our Instrument, which may impact the commercialization of certain diagnostic assays. We also have limited data on the performance of our Platform to date and limited experience in marketing and selling our Platform and we may not be successful in commercializing our Platform, including gaining market acceptance and competing with other diagnostic test providers. Our Amira System will be subject to similar uncertainties, although they are likely to be more pronounced, given the earlier stage of development of the test strip and instrument and the lack of any clinical testing of the system.

The below illustrations show the various features of our Platform.

Seamless Connectivity: transferring test

results to electronic health record, laboratory

information system or patient health record

Our Platform is designed to offer the following benefits:

•

Lab-comparable performance at the POC in minutes. Our Platform has been designed to use the same testing methodologies as those used in central lab systems so as to deliver lab-comparable results, where lab references are available at the POC in minutes, rather than days or weeks. Each test is developed and validated against its respective lab reference standard. We believe that with our Platform, healthcare providers have the benefit of both central lab performance and real-time results.

•

Broad menu of tests on a single instrument. Our Platform has been designed to integrate the most commonly used assay technologies (e.g., enzyme, immunoassay, molecular and electrolytes) and sample types (e.g., swab, saliva, blood) into a small, single instrument. As a result, users can replace multiple systems with one instrument. We are building out our menu with further tests, which include tests currently run at the POC, tests not currently available at the POC, such as FDA-defined high sensitivity troponin I, and innovative diagnostic test panels, such as Flu A/B + SARS-CoV-2.

•

Low cost of ownership. Healthcare providers will be able to use a single Instrument with a variety of low-cost test strips as opposed to multiple instruments currently required for POC testing in community-based healthcare settings. We also believe our Platform will provide incremental cost savings, including reduced cost of training, maintenance and test supplies. All of this enables a lower cost per reportable result.

In addition to addressing the fundamental limitations of current POC systems, we have designed our Platform with features that we believe healthcare providers will greatly value:

•

Simple workflow and intuitive user interface. Our Instrument provides users with visually easy to follow and step-by-step instructions for entering patient information and performing the test. We strive to standardize the workflow and minimize user steps in each test. We use common sample types (e.g., swab, saliva, blood) with minimal preparation steps. We use automated processes for rolling out additional tests and software upgrades through RFID tags, or “smart labels,” and over-the-cloud updates.

•

Seamless connectivity. Our Instrument arrives with out-of-the-box connectivity and self-guided user set up. Our Platform provides data connectivity options for transferring patient data securely

152

via the customer’s existing middleware or via cloud services from our Instrument to the electronic health record, laboratory information system or patient health record.

•

Data reporting, analytics and decision support. Our Platform provides options for patient and population data reporting and analytics. For example, we currently market INRstar, a patient reporting and decision support tool, which allows healthcare providers to help manage warfarin patients and to simplify dosing decisions. This is a market leading solution in the U.K., used in over 2,700 primary and secondary care locations across the U.K. It is being expanded in key European markets, including Italy where we have already rolled it out for use with our INR assay.

•

System portability and flexibility. Our Instrument is a small, portable device, 2.5 pounds in weight, battery operated and capable of going to wherever the patient is located. Our assays use dry chemistry and as a result can be stored at room temperature eliminating refrigeration requirements and reducing space demands in an already cluttered medical office or lab.

As planned, our Amira System consists of (i) a small, battery operated, disposable device, (ii) the Amira COVID-19 test and (iii) a phone/tablet application for test management and reporting. Our Amira System is in the feasibility phase, with the COVID-19 test strip in design freeze, which is one of the last milestones before the development phase. We currently have a prototype Amira System including strips, device and patient application. We expect to move to design freeze at system level shortly and have begun submitting patent applications with plans to start clinical testing in the second quarter of 2021. We have submitted a pre-EUA request to FDA in February 2021 and expect to obtain CE Mark for POC and over-the-counter applications in the fall of 2021.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to become the market leading provider in POC testing and to establish our Platform as the industry standard. To achieve this objective, we intend to:

•

Offer a comprehensive menu of high-performance diagnostic tests for community-based healthcare settings. We believe that delivering a broad menu of diagnostic tests for community-based healthcare on a single Platform is critical to transform the POC market. We are executing a global market-driven menu strategy designed to drive the conversion of our customers’ testing needs onto our Platform. Our tests, both cleared and in development, as well as panels are initially focused on the most common medical conditions for certain infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and coagulation disorders. Our portfolio includes high-volume tests currently available at the POC (e.g., INR, HbA1c, CRP), tests that currently do not have a viable POC solution (e.g., FDA-defined high-sensitivity troponin I), and innovative diagnostic test panels, such as Flu A/B + SARS-CoV-2. In addition to developing our own tests, we work with well-established third parties to accelerate menu expansion on our Platform.

•

Grow our installed base by executing an institutional sales and channel partnership model. We initially intend to focus our sales efforts on large healthcare systems, government organizations and national pharmacy chains that want to deploy comprehensive POC testing across their networks. We have assembled an experienced commercial team focused on key stakeholder adoption at the senior level of these organizations to deploy our Platform across their extensive healthcare networks. We have implemented INR testing programs with regional governments in Italy and the U.K. Additionally, we have a collaboration with BMGF aimed at implementing POC testing in low and middle income countries, primarily in Africa for the establishment of a primary healthcare model.

•

Expand into additional healthcare settings and underserved markets. We believe our Platform’s user-friendly setup, competitive cost structure and potential for a broad test menu make it an attractive instrument for roll out in settings where POC testing has traditionally been more challenging, such as low and middle income countries. We intend to leverage our Platform’s

153

adaptable architecture across future Instrument models for additional professional and, over time, home-use settings. We plan further enhancements to our Platform, such as making the Instrument more robust to enable use in more challenging settings such as in areas of extreme heat and dust.

•

Continue to innovate to expand into specialty areas. We plan to continue to invest in R&D to expand our test offering into additional specialty areas, such as allergy, toxicology, fertility, veterinary and in-patient hospital, that could benefit from fast, accurate diagnostic test results from our Platform.

•

Continue to innovate across our Platform. Our Platform’s connectivity allows information to be managed and shared between patients and healthcare providers to enhance patient experience. Our focus on data driven improvements will also allow us to roll out supply chain improvements and quality control features through direct data communication with our customers.

•

Continue to expand use of our technology and apply it to even higher volume, lower cost mass population screening solutions, initially focused on COVID-19 mass screening / home-testing, through the potential launch of our Amira System. We see significant opportunity in the low complexity mass screening or home testing market. Based on the same chemistry and strip design as our high performing SARS-CoV-2 antigen test on our Platform, we have started development on our Amira System, which is intended to be a high sensitivity mass screening or home testing system for COVID-19, which we plan to distribute at a price and volume that supports the mass testing volumes required to support a safe, normal and open economy as reopening continues in the coming months, subject to regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance.

Our Products

Our Instrument

Our Instrument runs a variety of diagnostic testing technologies utilizing our disposable test strips and generates results that are clearly displayed on the Instrument touch-screen generally in under 10 minutes. Our Instrument is designed for use with our approved and future tests, which all share a common design and have been developed for use with very low sample volumes. Our Instrument, in connection with the test strips, is capable of very sensitive measurements at very low levels of concentration. The ability to make measurements at low levels of detection, or LOD, is highly beneficial and directly impacts efforts to identify and detect disease including, for example, COVID-19. We offer flexible placement models including direct purchase or reagent rental.

Our Diagnostic Tests on Our Amira System

In addition to the tests on our Platform, we have started development of our Amira System, which is being developed as a high volume, lower cost mass population screening solution. We are initially focused on COVID-19 testing and we are exploring other applications of our Amira System for mass screening solution testing.

COVID-19 Tests

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2, is the coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.

157

There are two main types of COVID-19 diagnostic tests:

•

Tests that aid in diagnosis of active viral infection: Molecular and antigen tests are used to directly detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in respiratory samples such as nasal, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs. Molecular tests detect the genetic material, specifically RNA, of the virus, whereas antigen tests detect the proteins expressed on the outside or inside of the virus. These tests allow for accurate identification of a COVID-19 infection from the onset of symptoms, but are not able to detect previous infections.

•

Tests that aid in diagnosis of an immune response to COVID-19: An immune response represents the activation of the immune system following exposure to the virus. The response includes activated T cells and B cells (which produce antibodies) that are specific to molecular structures on SARS-CoV-2 and proliferate and attack the invading pathogen. COVID-19 antibody tests are used to directly detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG, IgM and/or total antibodies in blood samples.

We have obtained an EUA and a CE Mark for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test and we submitted a request for an EUA in the U.S. and obtained a CE Mark for our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test. We have started the roll out of our SARS-CoV-2 antigen in a large number of countries in Africa under EUA and applicable local regulations.

SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Test

Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has been developed to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus in respiratory samples such as nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs with results at the POC in 12 minutes or less.

We estimate that total test volume for tests that aid in diagnosis of active COVID-19 infection will be at approximately 1 billion in the U.S. and at 2.5 billion globally in 2020-2021, equating to a $11 billion market in the U.S. and $22 billion globally. Despite initial vaccine authorization and implementations planned in the next few months, due to the limited supply of vaccines compared to what is expected to be required to achieve herd immunity and emergence of new variants which may be more resistant to vaccines, we estimate a significant need for continued diagnostic testing with a shift toward fast, accurate POC COVID-19 testing.

Earlier in the pandemic, molecular testing represented 70% of the total test volume and 75% of the market globally based on our estimates. Molecular testing is primarily conducted in central labs and therefore requires significant infrastructure, resources and time to deliver patient results. POC molecular tests are commercially available, however they have been limited to the hospital setting due to limited supply. We estimate molecular testing will represent 20% of total test volume in 2021.

We estimate POC antigen tests will represent 80% of total test volume, equating to 2 billion tests and $16 billion market value globally in 2021. Though commercially available antigen lateral flow tests offer fast diagnosis of an active COVID-19 infection, they are somewhat limited in sensitivity. Unlike lateral flow tests which use old technology developed for at-home pregnancy testing, our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test is a next-generation test system using microfluidic immunofluorescence technology to detect tiny amounts of the virus antigen in just a few microliters of nasal swab extract. We believe our high sensitivity LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has the opportunity to take significant market share of the $16 billion COVID-19 antigen testing market.

Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test detects SARS-CoV-2 virus in respiratory samples such as nasal swabs in 12 minutes or less. The performance of our test is attributable to its design as well as the precise microfluidic control of our Instrument. Our test uses SARS-CoV/SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies in an immunoassay to determine the presence of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein (NP) present in the test sample. Our Instrument generally uses multiple independent assay channels in the test strip to detect the NP antigen in the test sample. It directs fluidic movement and mixing of the reagents and test sample in each test strip channel. A magnetic field is then applied to the measurement zone which retains the magnetic particles and associated SARS-CoV-2 NP immuno-

158

complexes allowing removal of the sample and any unbound label from the measurement zone. Our Instrument measures the fluorescent signal of the immuno-complex fluorescent particles in an essentially dry state which is proportional to the concentration of the SARS-CoV-2 virus NP antigen in the sample. The strip contains on-board control reagents that are used to verify that the test operated correctly.

In a clinical study with 257 patients presenting from zero to 12 days of symptom onset, our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test demonstrated 97.6% positive percent agreement, or PPA, and 96.6% negative percent agreement, or NPA, compared to the reference method, Roche Cobas 6800, and delivered results within 12 minutes or less. The test has high analytical performance with a LOD of 32 TCID50/mL, which is approximately four times lower than currently available POC tests on the market. We believe the superior performance over a wide detection window has the potential to greatly improve the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection and infectivity, enable large-scale population monitoring and facilitate management of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, we only conducted one clinical study with a limited sample size of 257 patients, so this superior performance may not be sustained or replicated as our SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests are used on higher volumes of patients. We obtained an EUA and a CE Mark for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test. Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has been authorized by the FDA under an EUA only for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein and has not been authorized for use to detect any other viruses or pathogens. In addition, the CE Mark process is a self-certification process where we self-declare as a manufacturer that we have checked the product meets European Economic Area safety, health or environment requirements. Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has not been cleared or approved by FDA or any other regulatory body. A summary of the results from the clinical study described above is set out in the following table.


		Positive	Negative	Total
SARS-CoV-2 Ag Test	Positive	81	6	87
	Negative	2	168	170
	Total	83	174	257

We have also received various external validations of our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, including from the Swiss and Japanese governments, and the Scandinavian evaluation of laboratory equipment for POC testing (SKUP), which show the performance of our SARS-CoV antigen test.

SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Test

Our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test has been developed to detect presence of SARS-CoV-2 total antibody in a blood sample with performance at the POC and delivers the results in 11 minutes.

Antibody testing is used to understand the virus’s epidemiology in the general population and identify groups at higher risk of infection. In addition, serologic testing can be offered as a method to support diagnosis of acute COVID-19 illness for persons who present late and potentially over time to measure immunity. We believe the global total addressable market for our COVID-19 antibody test is $3 billion in 2021.

159

Our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test has been developed to detect presence of SARS-CoV-2 total antibody in a blood or plasma sample with high sensitivity and specificity from onset of symptom through disease progression. Our test uses SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S1) and Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) antigens in an immunoassay to determine the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the test sample. Our Instrument generally uses multiple independent assay channels in the test strip to detect the antibodies in the test sample. It directs fluidic movement and mixing of the reagents and test sample in each test strip channel. A magnetic field is then applied to the measurement zone which retains the magnetic particles and associated SARS-CoV-2 antibody immuno-complexes allowing removal of the sample and any unbound label from the measurement zone. Our Instrument measures the fluorescent signal of the immuno-complex fluorescent particles in an essentially dry state which is proportional to the concentration of the SARS-CoV-2 antibody in the sample. The strip contains on-board control reagents that are used to verify that the test operated correctly. In clinical studies, our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test has demonstrated high sensitivity and high specificity across the COVID-19 diagnostic window.

Several clinical studies were conducted to determine PPA and NPA of SARS-CoV-2 antibody test in fingerstick blood and plasma samples. In a prospective study of 62 asymptomatic and symptomatic subjects, with fingerstick blood sample collected more than eight days post RT-PCR, the SARS-CoV-2 antibody test demonstrated 100% PPA compared to RT-PCR. In a study of 72 plasma samples collected from symptomatic subjects, the SARS-CoV-2 antibody test demonstrated 97.2% PPA compared to RT-PCR including 90% PPA in the first 14 days post PCR. The test also demonstrated 100% NPA. We believe a fingerstick blood SARS-CoV-2 antibody test with high sensitivity in earlier stages of disease progression may supplement antigen testing to improve COVID-19 diagnosis. A summary of the results from the clinical studies described above is set out in the following tables.


Sample	Positive agreement		Negative agreement
Direct Fingerstick		100%(62/62)		100%(54/54)
Fingerstick via Transfer Tube		100%(62/62)		100%(56/56)


Days from RT-PCR to Blood Collection	Number of Samples	Sensitivity RT-PCR Comparator
6 days	13	84.6%
7-13 days	7	100%
14-20 days	6	100%
21 days	46	100%
Total	72	97.2% (90.4% – 99.2%)

We have obtained CE Mark and submitted an EUA request to FDA for our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test. The CE Mark process is a self-certification process where we self-certify as a manufacturer that our devices meet the necessary E.U. regulatory requirements. Now that the Transition Period has ended, CE Marks will continue to be recognized in G.B. until June 30, 2023.

The implementation of COVID-19 vaccines may drive an increased demand for SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing as a verification tool around the duration of protective immunity for immunized patients in a real world setting.

SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Pool Test

Pooled testing enables higher test throughput and lower cost per individual which is important for mass testing at schools, workplaces and events.

Pooled testing is generally performed on PCR systems with multiple samples combined into a single reaction to increase the number of samples processed per batch. Follow up testing is done with remnant samples in the lab or by follow up using a rapid test.

160

The LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test is intended for qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein antigen SARS-CoV-2 in one to five individual samples from professionally supervised & self-collected nasal swab samples or professionally collected nasal or nasopharyngeal swab samples which are then pooled for testing. In clinical studies, LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test demonstrated 100% positive agreement and 96.6% negative agreement to the individual LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 antigen test.

We have obtained CE Mark for our LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test and we plan to submit an EUA request to FDA in 2021. We believe we are the first and currently only POC antigen pool test commercially available in Europe.

Flu A/B + SARS-CoV-2 Test

Given that patients with Flu A, Flu B or SARS-CoV-2 antigen present with similar symptoms, having a single test that can provide simultaneous results for all conditions will enable healthcare providers to verify infection quicker, begin proper treatment sooner and, if required, initiate isolation precautions, helping to prevent further spread of infection as well as lower costs. Combined testing may also mitigate the problem of testing material shortages, such as swabs or extraction buffers.

Our multichannel test strip architecture is designed to enable us to quickly and accurately test for multiple targets such as Flu A, Flu B or SARS-CoV-2 antigen using a common sample type, in this case common respiratory samples such as nasal, nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs. We have completed the test design for our Flu A/B + SARS CoV-2 test using the same test strip architecture as the SARS-CoV-2 antigen test. The test is currently in the development phase and we are working toward completing clinical studies, obtaining a CE Mark and submitting an FDA EUA request in the next 12 months.

International Normalized Ratio (INR) Test

INR is a standardized measurement of the rate at which blood clots. A low INR can indicate an increased risk of blood clots, while an elevated INR can indicate increased risk of excessive bleeding.

Healthcare providers commonly use INR tests to monitor oral anticoagulation therapy with Vitamin-K Antagonist, or VKA, drugs. VKA drugs are often prescribed to patients at risk of forming clots that can lead to strokes. Patients on VKAs require regular INR monitoring to maintain optimal coagulation, but the daily dose of VKA necessary to maintain optimal anticoagulation varies among patients due to factors such as age, body mass index, genetic differences, comorbidities and environmental factors. Therefore, optimal VKA therapy requires regular monitoring of a patient’s INR with an accurate and precise measurement tool. We believe the global total addressable market for our POC INR test is approximately $500 million in 2021.

161

Our INR test is available for use under a CE Mark and has been validated in various clinical studies against reference lab standard ACL ELITE Pro. One study, the OPTIMAL study, conducted in 11 sites by Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Golden Jubilee Hospitals and NHS anti-coagulation services, showed strong correlation between our Platform and laboratory reference method, as well as between the different application methods and test lots (see data chart below). Another study confirmed strong correlation between our INR test results (capillary blood sample) and those obtained from plasma samples using both the ACL Elite and also the Sysmex CS 2100/5100. Feedback from healthcare professionals indicated that overall our Platform was easy to follow and use. Data overall demonstrated that our INR test provided rapid and reliable INR analysis at the POC.

In a clinical study of 596 capillary and venous blood samples collected from 366 patients, our INR test when measured against the Laboratory ACL Elite lab reference method demonstrated strong correlation of 0.965 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.959, 0.970) when using direct application and 0.958 (95% Cl: 0.950, 0.964) when using a transfer pipette. The established INR range was 0.8-7.5. Precision was measured using samples collected with a transfer pipette (n=291, mean INR 2.525, mean % coefficient of variation (CV) 3.73%) or direct application (n=284 mean INR 2.538, mean % CV 3.46).

D-Dimer Test

D-Dimer is a fibrin degradation product, or FDP, a small protein fragment present in the blood after a blood clot is degraded by fibrinolysis. It is so named because it contains two D fragments of the fibrin protein joined by a cross-link.

D-Dimer testing is generally used in clinical settings, along with clinical scoring systems and additional testing methods, when there is suspected venous thromboembolism, or VTE, disseminated intravascular coagulation, or DIC, deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, and pulmonary embolism, or PE. Several care guidelines recommend inclusion of a quantitative D-Dimer test for exclusion of VTE in patients presenting with symptoms at primary care. However, there are currently no quantitative POC tests for D-Dimer using a capillary fingerstick sample.

162

A fast and accurate test for D-Dimer is one of the more desired tests by primary care physicians at POC in multiple countries, including the United States and countries in Europe. We believe there is substantial opportunity to bring D-Dimer testing closer to patients with fast accurate test results at POC and estimate a global total addressable market for our D-Dimer test is $700 million in 2021. Our D-Dimer test delivers quantitative results in six minutes from a fingerstick blood sample. The test is aimed to be used as an aid in the assessment and diagnosis of patients with suspected VTE, such as DVT and PE. It is designed to be used by healthcare providers or other trained professionals in community-based healthcare settings.

In addition, D-Dimer testing is currently also expected to have a utility as part of diagnosis and management of COVID-19 infected patients as D-Dimer has also been shown to be a prognostic indicator for COVID-19 infection.

We have obtained CE Mark for our D-Dimer test and we plan to submit a 510(k) to FDA in the next 12 months. The CE Mark process is a self-certification process where we self-declare as a manufacturer that we have checked the product meets European Economic Area safety, health or environment requirements.

The method comparison was performed using plasma samples from patients (n = 327, range = 60 - 4515 µg/L FEU). A comparison of 1767 D-Dimer measurements with the LumiraDx D-Dimer Test to the VIDAS Exclusion II D-Dimer assay yielded the following statistics: Slope = 1.02, Intercept = 21, r = 0.92. A precision study was carried out in citrated venous plasma on a protocol based on CLSI EP5-A3. The study was carried out with three levels of D-Dimer, each was tested in two runs of two replicates per day, for 20 days. The findings of this study are summarized in the table below.


D-Dimer concentration (µg/L FEU)	Within run precision (% CV)	Within day precision (% CV)	Between day precision (% CV)	Total precision (% CV)	n
291	9.8	11.1	0.0	11.1	80
552	9.4	9.4	2.5	9.7	80
1790	10.1	10.1	0.7	10.2	80

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test

CRP is a circulating protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation caused by tissue damage or infection. CRP has become a universal biomarker of infection and inflammation for a number of diseases and pathophysiological conditions (such as bacterial infections, inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune disorders) and CRP testing has been shown to reduce the need for antibiotic prescription. CRP testing is used more commonly in European countries, where antibiotic consumption is generally lower than in the U.S., CRP has been shown to be a prognostic indicator for COVID-19 infection. We estimate the global total addressable market for our CRP test is approximately $300 million in 2021.

In addition, CRP testing is currently also expected to have a utility as part of diagnosis and management of COVID-19 infected patients.

Our CRP test is in the development phase and aimed to be CE marked and available for use in most major European countries in the next 12 months.

Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Test

HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is chemically linked to a sugar. The formation of the sugar-Hb linkage is due to the presence of excessive sugar in the bloodstream.

HbA1c tests show the average level of glucose attached to hemoglobin over the last two to three months (typical life span of a red blood cell). HbA1c is a surrogate biochemical indicator of tissue exposure to elevated

163

glucose. High HbA1c levels may be a sign of diabetes, a chronic condition that can cause serious health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage. We estimate that 70% of HbA1c tests are conducted in the central lab setting. We believe there is substantial opportunity to bring HbA1c testing closer to patients and estimate our global total addressable market for our HbA1c test is $1.3 billion in 2021.

Our HbA1c test is for use by healthcare professionals in POC settings for the quantitative determination of glycated hemoglobin in human capillary and venous blood samples. This test is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of diabetes and as an aid in identifying patients who may be at risk for developing diabetes. Additionally, HbA1c monitoring at POC enables improved patient physician management of diabetes and comorbidities. Our HbA1c test is in the development phase and we plan to complete the process to obtain a CE Mark and submit a 510(k) to FDA in the next 12 months.

High Sensitivity Troponin I Test

Troponin is a complex of three regulatory proteins (troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T) that is integral to muscle contraction in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle, but not smooth muscle. Measurements of cardiac-specific troponins I and T are extensively used as diagnostic and prognostic indicators in the management of myocardial infarction, or MI, and acute coronary syndrome.

A troponin test measures the levels of troponin T or troponin I proteins in the blood. These proteins are released when the heart muscle has been damaged and is an indicator of a heart attack. Troponin tests are generally used, together with an electrocardiogram, or ECG, in emergency room patients who present with persistent chest pain, unstable angina or other similar symptoms.

Over time focus has shifted to high sensitivity troponin I, tests (hs-c Tn) with high precision at very low concentrations allowing accurate quantification of troponin in the majority of the healthy population. This has enabled cardiologists to develop new algorithms which define a single threshold value (typically 3-6 ng/L c Tn) that identifies patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome at presentation who are at low risk of MI and potentially suitable for immediate discharge therefore reducing hospital crowding and health costs without compromising clinical outcomes. These early rule-out strategies using hs-c Tn assays are now being increasingly employed to safely and effectively manage suspected MI patients.

The majority of high sensitivity troponin I, testing is currently conducted in central labs because POC alternatives are insufficiently sensitive to measure such low levels at the POC.

We estimate 80% of troponin tests are conducted in the central lab setting. We believe there is substantial opportunity to bring troponin testing closer to patients and estimate our global total addressable market for our high sensitivity troponin test is $900 million in 2021.

We are developing a highly sensitive troponin POC test, which is aimed to provide a paradigm shift in suspected MI patients care management and can measure troponin at very low levels allowing for clinical decisions to be made directly at the POC, in the hospital emergency room or physician office, and ensuring that healthcare providers can rely on the results of this test, and other clinical guidance, to establish if the patient is having a MI or over time can be ruled out and re-directed for further testing in other areas where required.

In addition, it is envisaged that the portability and connectivity of our Platform will overtime, allow suspected MI patient diagnosis, provided for example by paramedics in emergency situations, at the patient’s home or in the ambulance. We have already demonstrated that we can measure at very low concentration and LOD in our SARS-CoV-2 assays. Our high sensitivity troponin test is in the development phase and we plan to complete the process to obtain a CE Mark and submit a 510(k) to FDA in the next 12 months.

Molecular Tests

We have developed over the last few years a proprietary molecular chemistry, qSTAR (Selective Temperature Amplification Reaction), which forms the basis of our molecular assays. This new technology is a non-PCR enzyme-based system with an optimized temperature profile that is suitable to deliver very sensitive, rapid near patient results.

Our molecular tests, which incorporate our proprietary qSTAR technology, are designed to offer many competitive advantages in the market including minimal user steps and reduced sample preparation steps and time. Our molecular tests leverage the same strip design as our other tests, and have the ability to run on our Instrument with results expected in approximately 10-15 minutes. Our molecular test strips are manufactured on the same automated, low-cost manufacturing system as our other test strip designs, using the same base materials.

We are working on various molecular tests with a focus on infectious diseases, such as HIV and tuberculosis, both of which are being supported by BMGF, and Hepatitis B. Upon regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance and launch of our molecular tests, we would be the only company providing molecular and non-molecular technologies on the same Instrument.

qSTAR technology is highly applicable to diagnostic testing for COVID-19. Detecting virus via RNA or antigen is the standard of care for COVID-19 diagnosis. But molecular diagnostic testing in the lab is a time consuming and complex process. LumiraDx applied its qSTAR technology to the development of rapid molecular COVID-19 reagent testing kits for use on open molecular systems. The technology allows for the reduction of amplification timing which increases throughput over other molecular platforms, while maintaining the sensitivity of detection.

We have two COVID-19 reagent kits:

1. LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR received EUA from FDA on August 11, 2020. The assay allows laboratories to utilize their existing molecular lab infrastructure in a high-throughput format by reducing amplification time from approximately one hour down to 12 minutes. We have commenced sales of our SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR.

2. SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR Complete received an EUA from the FDA on October 14, 2020 and we plan to complete the process to obtain CE Mark during 2021. The assay utilizes a direct amplification method that combines lysis and amplification in a single step, detecting SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in under 20 minutes, without needing to perform any specimen purification or extraction. LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR Complete provides approximately a 2 to 5-fold increase of testing throughput over common open molecular systems, allowing laboratories to improve turnaround time of patient results and expand their testing capacity with existing instrumentation.

Tests for Additional Adjacent Markets / Applications

In addition to our in-house pipeline, we have a number of tests in development through our R&D collaborations with well-established diagnostic companies that have market-leading capabilities in specific disease areas or targets, such as infectious diseases, respiratory assays, enteric diseases and others, and we expect these to lead to multiple test launches in the near term. Furthermore, we expect to investigate other areas of interest in the future such as allergy, toxicology, fertility, veterinary and in-patient hospital where we believe POC testing will improve patient experiences and outcomes.

Our Technology

Our Platform simplifies, scales down, and integrates the techniques used in central lab instruments, to provide a wide range of lab-comparable diagnostic tests on a single POC instrument.

165

Traditionally, POC companies start with a focus on a particular disease or test, then go on to design the chemistry, assay, and instrument to deliver that application. This approach has demonstrated limited scalability and resulted in a proliferation of instruments at the POC, with inconsistent performance, testing procedure and workflows.

We are taking a fundamentally different approach by developing a unique microfluidic test strip capable of accommodating all our assays in a single design architecture. Our multiple tests can be manufactured at scale and low cost on a single manufacturing system. In addition, we adopted principles from central lab instruments to design an instrument that accurately and reproducibly controls key operational parameters such as fluidic movement, mixing and signal measurement. The technology behind our test strip, Instrument, and connectivity solutions enable a high performance, high quality POC testing Platform at scale.

Our Instrument

Our proprietary Instrument is designed to provide similar methods and features as central lab instruments, such as fluorescent transduction, precise fluidic control and assay precision. It is set up to overcome sample matrix bias through measurement in a liquid free environment and is calibrated against the standard lab reference for applicable samples and tests. Similar to lab instruments, our Instrument has integrated controls of non-specific binding through surface coating or blocking agents. Designing our Instrument from the outset with lab instrument functionality has allowed for improved performance and high sensitivity in a single POC instrument and has enabled innovation across our Platform.

The Instrument performs its analysis when the test strip with applied sample has been inserted in the Instrument and the sample has reacted with the reagents within the test strip. The Instrument then measures the fluorescence in the read area of the test strip by means of spectrophotometer optics or through camera-based particle counts. The Instrument quantifies the amount of analyte present in a sample applied to a test strip using enzyme, immunoassay, molecular or other analytical test principles. The concentration of the analyte in the sample is proportional to the fluorescence detected. The results are displayed on the Instrument touch-screen generally in under 10 minutes. The Instrument provides visual and audible instructions on the Instrument touchscreen to guide the user through the test process. After sample application, the test strip is automatically processed through all stages of the assay including sample movement, sample treatment, reagent interaction, thermal control, assay timing, sample removal and fluorescence measurement reading of the reaction products to provide calibrated qualitative or quantitative assay results. Calibration data for each set of test strips is included in an RFID tag embedded in each box of test strips. For new product launches, the RFID tag also contains the instructions to run new tests.

Given the continuous manufacturing and technological advances, some of our tests in development and future tests that we plan to develop may require an updated version of the Instrument or we may encounter design challenges, which may impact the commercialization of certain diagnostic assays. We will continue to develop and upgrade our Instrument, including the development of a robust and lower cost version for additional care settings.

Our Test Strip

Our proprietary test strip runs on our Instrument, with a specific and precise microfluidic sequence for each individual assay.

All test strips have certain common design features that allow various assay types to be analyzed, controlled and measured by the Instrument. In addition, the test strips also provide flexibility with regard to internal fluidic/channel adjustments, enabling adjustments to be made based on the needs of a specific assay, while continuing to be able to interface with the same instrument. In addition, our proprietary manufacturing approach allows all tests strips to be produced on a single high speed, high volume, low cost manufacturing system. The simple test strip

166

design uses two main components and easy to source materials common across all our tests. The flexible test strip design further allows for multiple test channels to operate independently within the same test strip, thus allowing one test strip to cover multiple parameters and to enable syndromic panel testing. All assays are designed and tested against current laboratory standards.

Our Connectivity Solutions

Our connectivity solutions are designed to ensure easy, secure transfer of data and can be used with mobile, tablet or personal computers to move data from our Instrument.

•

Connect Manager is our cloud-based service that provides all capabilities to remotely manage and configure Instruments as well as user access. It has provisions to manage quality control policy, simplify workgroups, produce reports and run data analyses. The ability to manage a large-scale implementation of POC instruments through Connect Manager enables a health care system or large procurer to enforce quality controls policy and effectively manage diagnostic results wherever they are generated in a centralized controlled manner.

•

EHR Connect allows for direct integration with existing hospital systems either via cloud or local connectivity. Local connections can be made directly via integration protocols such as HL7, FHIR, GDT/LDT/XDT or through middleware.

Our connectivity solutions enable optimal performance of a POC program. The benefits include:

•

management of operators and role-based access, Instrument, quality control policy and training information to meet regulatory and compliance requirements;

•

reporting of patient demographics, test results, Instrument function and errors; and

•

analytics, including surveillance and hotspot detection.

Quality Controls

Numerous quality controls have been integrated in the design of our Platform from the start to ensure regulatory quality compliance and ease of use. Our Platform is designed with more than 30 automated checks of the correct functioning at power on and during operation, include (i) electrical component operation such as heater operation, battery charge state, mechanical actuators and sensors and optical system performance, (ii) test strip positioning, optics, hematocrit (for blood samples) and checks around test strip expiry and (iii) monitoring of test strip performance and controls during test runtime.

Our Amira System

We have also adapted and simplified our high performing SARS-CoV-2 antigen test technology for use in mass screening applications not fully addressed by our Platform. The Amira System development and commercialization is built upon our Platform and our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test. We view our Amira System as complementary and additional to our Platform. It uses the same microfluidic strip design and manufacturing process, the same reagents, the same sample management and detection method, and the same workflow, but is designed to operate a more targeted menu of infectious disease tests and data management system.

The Amira System consists of (i) a small, battery operated, disposable device, (ii) high sensitivity Amira COVID-19 test and components as well as (iii) a phone/tablet application for test management and reporting. The value proposition of our Amira System is to provide additional testing opportunities for mass screening applications at schools, universities, for return to work screening and, and, over time, for testing in the home.

Our Amira System is currently near the end of feasibility testing, with the COVID-19 test strip in design freeze, which is one of the last milestones before the development phase. We currently have a prototype Amira

167

System including strips, device and patient application. We expect to move to design freeze at system level shortly and have begun submitting patent applications with plans to start clinical testing in the second quarter of 2021. We plan to submit an EUA request to FDA and obtain CE Mark for POC and over-the-counter applications in the fall of 2021. We currently expect a capacity for Amira COVID-19 tests of 10 million tests per day by the fall of 2021 and expect multiples of 10 million tests per day by the end of 2021, depending on market needs for mass screening testing, subject to successful development and regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance. We anticipate the retail price of our Amira System and Amira COVID-19 test to be between $2.00-$4.00 per test, significantly lower than many existing COVID-19 tests currently on the market as well as the equivalent tests on our Instrument. We are simultaneously tooling up high volume manufacturing lines, for the strip and instrument, while we progress through design freeze and V&V phase.

We believe that, in addition to the 2 billion COVID-19 antigen testing demand in 2021 focused on symptomatic and high risk screening, there is a further latent demand for 5 to 15 billion incremental tests over the near term for a low-cost, high-sensitivity POC COVID-19 diagnostic to enable more comprehensive screening across schools, workplaces, events and in the home to support a safe, normal and open economy. We believe the Amira System, with its high sensitivity, low cost and patient application feature that enables digital interpretation, management and reporting of test results, will be the right testing solution for large scale testing for COVID-19.

Research and Development

We focus our R&D efforts on conceiving and delivering disruptive technologies both at the platform and individual test level. We have invested, and continue to invest, significant time and resources toward improving and expanding our core technologies and tests. We have developed an automated high-speed manufacturing system which can produce a large volume of tests at low cost as well as proprietary technology around our Instrument based on central lab instruments. We are developing a wide variety of new diagnostic tests to be delivered at the POC, with over 30 assays in various stages of development. Our R&D expenses were $86.5 million and $107.5 million for 2019 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, we had 355 employees focused on R&D.

We have initiated development of the use of our manufacturing technology and system to provide a visual read strip at high volumes and low cost, which could be applied to SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing to address the need for more testing during the pandemic.

In addition to our current pipeline, we plan to dedicate resources to continue our R&D efforts to complete development of our Amira System and populate and accelerate delivery of tests on our Platform. We have a strong internal R&D team focused on Platform-specific matters, including development of the Instrument, manufacturing and specific assays, technologies and conditions. We have also done extensive work over the last few years on Instrument and test strip development which generally benefit additional product development and over time reduce the timelines for feasibility and early stage development, as reflected by the work on our Amira System. Our internal R&D team is highly skilled both technically and scientifically, with many of our employees having advanced degrees in science or engineering.

To allow for additional tests to be developed on our Platform in parallel, we have entered into R&D collaboration agreements with diagnostic companies that have market-leading capabilities in specific conditions or targets and have considerable knowledge of such areas, relationships with key opinion leaders, and access to sample banks and testing. Our R&D collaboration agreements provide for a royalty payment of a certain percentage (typically low-to mid-single digits) of the net sales of any co-developed test products that incorporate the collaborators’ technology or chemistry. We are obligated to make such royalty payments only following the launch of a test product and once revenue has been generated. We have not made any royalty payments under our R&D collaboration agreements to date. Development expenses are typically our responsibility in accordance with an agreed-upon budget, which allows us to monitor and cap such expenses. We reserve the right under our R&D

168

collaboration agreements to continue internal development in parallel on the same test candidates as our collaborators or approach new collaborators; therefore the agreements are not exclusive.

Our collaborations are set up with a uniform approach and standard operating procedures allowing for roll out across multiple collaborators simultaneously. We provide our collaborators with training, an R&D pilot process and equipment. We also provide input on test strip design and printing materials so that our R&D collaborators can leverage our expertise without the need to establish capabilities at their local sites. Once chemistry has been optimized, our collaborators transfer the assays to us for manufacturing. Under these collaborations, we maintain ownership and manufacturing of the tests; collaborators receive R&D funding for development efforts and a royalty for any tests incorporating their proprietary technologies.

We currently collaborate with third parties for development of tests in each of respiratory, infectious and enteric disease areas. In addition, we are engaged in early stage work with others in hematology and other development areas.

In addition, we collaborate closely with scientists, industry experts and key opinion leaders for input and review of our tests. We have established a substantial network of industry leading subject matter experts most often centered around specific conditions and geographies. These collaborators often set the standard for methods and guideline for care providers globally. These relationships are also important for educating the market on the value we offer and for developing innovative testing methodologies enabled by the unique attributes of our Platform.

Manufacturing

We started our product development with a focus on Platform manufacturability and scalability and built upon this with robust instrument architecture, unique chemistry and low-cost test strip designs. Since our inception through December 31, 2020, we have incurred $97 million in costs related to facilities, manufacturing and other equipment.

We believe our automated manufacturing process provides an industry leading cost position that will enable us to provide more cost-efficient diagnostic solutions to the POC market and create new opportunities for the adoption of POC testing in geographies and testing locations where high quality POC testing has not previously been feasible.

We manufacture our test strips on highly automated, manufacturing equipment designed and manufactured specifically for us. All of our test strips are manufactured on a common platform using a high volume, web-based manufacturing process that allows the production of multiple test strip sizes and designs. Utilizing a common platform allows us to leverage volume and have efficient manufacturing costs and provides flexibility to respond more rapidly to changing market demands across our product portfolio.

Our key web-based manufacturing equipment provides an end-to-end solution from input rolls to fully foiled test strips with 100% vision inspection of more than a dozen critical to quality elements. Each test strip is printed with a unique test strip ID (2D bar code) for traceability and quality control.

Our manufacturing systems have been designed for scale-up and to help address emergency pandemic preparedness. We produced 20.3 million test strips in the fourth quarter of 2020 and currently have test strip capacity of more than 15 million test strips per month and expect to have capacity in the range of 35-45 million test strips per month by late summer 2021 and rising thereafter. Our manufacturing facilities are located in Alloa, Scotland, Stirling, Scotland and San Diego, California. Our current Scotland sites have 50,700 square feet of space dedicated to R&D, manufacturing, packaging and warehousing. Our San Diego sites have 33,900 square feet of space dedicated to R&D, manufacturing and packaging. As of March 31, 2021, we had 507 employees focused on manufacturing and service delivery. We are currently expanding our manufacturing and R&D activities and leasing additional facilities in Scotland and England.

169

Our Instrument is manufactured by a contract manufacturer Flextronics Ltd, or Flex, at its facility in Althofen, Austria with components and assemblies supplied by Flex and by outside vendors. Our SARS-CoV-2 RNA STAR molecular test kits are manufactured and packaged at our facility in San Diego, California.

Sales and Marketing

As of March 31, 2021, we have 131 employees focused on sales and marketing located in 17 countries and plan to open additional sales offices to further expand our presence globally. We have direct sales operations in the United States, most Western European countries, Japan, South Africa, Colombia and Brazil. The organization consists primarily of individuals with multiple years of experience in diagnostics, specifically POC testing, with large diagnostic companies such as Abbott Laboratories, Roche Holding AG and Danaher Corporation and many others.

We drive the penetration of our installed base by executing an institutional sales and channel partnership model. We initially intend to focus our sales efforts on large healthcare systems, government organizations and national pharmacy chains that want to deploy comprehensive POC testing across their networks. We have an experienced commercial team focused on leveraging key customers to deploy our Platform across multiple users with our training and support. To drive sales in additional healthcare settings, we will identify key channel partners that are interested in standardizing around a POC testing platform to integrate care across their networks.

Our commercial strategy will vary by health system, but key opinion leaders and certain key accounts will provide important initial clinical evidence of the performance of our Platform and support and validation for the beneficial uses of the technology.

Over time, we plan to operate with a direct sales and marketing presence in each of the largest diagnostic markets and to collaborate with distribution partners and medical wholesalers to ensure broad access of our Platform globally, initially in China, India and other countries in Southeast Asia. We believe in-country sales and marketing presence enables us to engage in direct sales with large customers, understand local market dynamics and trends, and most effectively deliver localized marketing campaigns. We currently sell our Instruments or place them through reagent rentals.

Competition

The POC market is rapidly evolving, highly competitive for certain product areas and subject to changing technology, shifting client needs and the frequent introduction of new products and services, such as the market demand and introduction of new products for testing of COVID-19. Our competitors range from well-established multinational corporations with multiple product offerings to smaller regional firms and firms with specific disease state offerings. A broad menu of tests available on our Platform will make it more challenging for a single competitor to displace our Platform once installed at a customer location. We believe that our Platform competes on the basis of clinical performance, enhanced turnaround time, test menu breadth on a single instrument, lower cost and return on investment, ease-of-use, seamless connectivity, and multiplex capability.

We primarily face competition in the IVD market from public and private companies such as Abbott Laboratories, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Danaher Corporation, GenMark Diagnostics, Inc., Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, Quidel Corporation, Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Siemens Healthineers AG, Inc. and many others. For each of our five available tests, we face competition from other commercially available tests, including:

•

For our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test: Quidel Sofia, BD Veritor Plus System, Abbot BinaxNow COVID-19 Ag Card and others.

•

For our SARS CoV-2 antibody test: Accelerate Diagnostics BioCheck, Assure Rapid Test, SD Biosensor Q Rapid Test, general lateral flow tests and others.

•

For our INR test: Roche Coaguchek and others.

170

•

For our D-Dimer test: Roche Cobas h232, Quidel Triage, Vidas D-Dimer Exclusion II and others.

Our tests in development are designed and validated against their respective lab standard.

Strategic Partners and Manufacturing and Supply Agreements

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Since 2018, we have collaborated with BMGF with the goal of achieving the following key objectives:

•

developing assays with significant potential to improve global health, including a test for HIV viral load;

•

accelerating development of LumiraDx’s next-generation instrument that is low-cost, robust and appropriate for all clinical settings, globally; and

•

supporting local healthcare delivery partners in foundation-priority markets to incorporate the potential of LumiraDx technology into high-impact, low-cost disruptive diagnostic treatment models.

BMGF has provided funding and support to LumiraDx in support of these objectives through a combination of equity, grants and loans, as further described below.

Cooperation Agreement

We are a party to a cooperation agreement with BMGF, dated July 17, 2018, or the Original Cooperation Agreement, which was amended and restated on October 17, 2019. We entered into the Original Cooperation Agreement in connection with BMGF’s investment of $20.0 million in the company through its purchase of 3,466,320 LMDX series A preferred shares at a price per share of $5.77. We subsequently entered into an amended and restated Cooperation Agreement with BMGF on October 17, 2019, or the Cooperation Agreement, in connection with BMGF’s loan to the company in the amount of $18 million, the terms of which are further described in the section titled “Business of LumiraDx—Strategic Partners and Manufacturing and Supply Agreements—Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - Note Purchase Agreement” beginning on page 173.

The primary purpose of BMGF’s investments are to further its charitable purpose of, among other things, accelerating the development of lifesaving and low-cost diagnostics to reduce the burden of diseases in low and middle income countries by securing global access commitments in respect of availability and affordability of new, low-cost products and services developed through the use of our capabilities, including in respect of diagnostic tests, integrated POC diagnostic platforms and connected health IT and care solutions.

Under the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, we agreed to the following global access commitments: (i) to develop an assay for HIV viral load and the development of a manufacturing, commercialization and distribution strategy for delivery of POC diagnostics within low and middle income countries, including the HIV viral load assay, or the HIV Viral Load Assay Development Project, (ii) to provide the foundation with an option to continue to provide funding to advance the HIV viral load assay through commercialization and launch, or the HIV Viral Load Assay Launch Project, (iii) to provide the foundation with the option to fund up to five additional assay projects that would use our Platform, or the Additional Assay Projects, (iv) to provide the foundation with the option to fund a project to accelerate commercialization of the company’s products in certain specified low and middle income countries (with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa), (v) to conduct certain activities in respect of partnering with health systems for low income people in challenging markets and to use good faith efforts to prioritize development of mutually agreed diagnostics and to pursue registration by the World Health Organization as a provider of tests on the WHO Essential Diagnostics Lists or other diagnostic prequalification activities that support commercialization of the Platform in certain low and middle income countries, and (vi) to develop a next-generation diagnostic instrument that is low-cost, robust and appropriate for all clinical settings and intended to improve the access of people in low and middle income countries to low cost POC diagnostics, or the V7 Diagnostic Instrument.

171

In connection with the HIV Viral Load Assay Development Project, HIV Viral Load Assay Launch Project, and any Additional Assay Projects, we have agreed to certain other global access commitments, including maximum pricing and minimum volume commitments (directed at making such products available to low income people in low and middle income countries at an affordable price) for the assays developed pursuant to such projects. In addition, we have agreed to make the V7 Diagnostic Instrument available to serve low income people in certain low and middle income countries at an affordable price. Our global access commitments under the Cooperation Agreement are ongoing for as long as BMGF exists.

Subject to certain conditions being met, if BMGF reasonably determines that the company is unlikely to achieve prices and volumes for the HIV viral load assay that are within 20% of the maximum price and minimum volume commitments described in the target product profile agreed by the parties and a third-party would be likely be able to meet such commitments, such third-party may further develop the project and manufacture any resulting products. In such case, to facilitate such development, we would be obligated to either license and transfer our technology to such third-party as needed to enable such third-party’s production, testing, approval and distribution of the HIV viral load assay in the relevant low and middle income countries.

In connection with the projects described above, we granted to BMGF (and/or BMGF supported entities) a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-terminable, perpetual, royalty-free license (with rights to sublicense) to the products, technologies, materials, processes, and other intellectual property and intellectual property rights developed in connection with such projects and our background intellectual property that covers or is used in our Platform’s technology and/or such projects to further develop the projects and manufacture any resulting products in a manner consistent with BMGF’s charitable purpose, or the Global Health License. BMGF has agreed not to exercise its rights under the Global Health License until one of the following “Trigger Events” occurs; (i) a Charitability Default (described below) or (ii) we institute certain bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings or we cease to conduct business in the ordinary course or are no longer a going concern.

In connection with the exercise of the licenses described above, we have agreed to take further actions, including technology transfer as would be commercially reasonable industry practice at the time to accommodate that BMGF, its sublicensees or the relevant BMGF-supported entity can effectively exercise such license and use the related technology and manufacture the relevant products.

A Charitability Default occurs if we (i) materially breach the global access commitments, which includes the failure to conduct the projects as described in the Cooperation Agreement, (ii) misuse the proceeds provided by BMGF, or (iii) fail to comply with certain U.S. legal obligations. Upon written notice that a Charitability Default has occurred, we have a 120-day cure period. If we fail to cure the default, at BMGF’s request we are obligated to (i) redeem (or cause a third-party to purchase) any of our securities that BMGF owns, and (ii) pay to BMGF the entire unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on any outstanding loans from BMGF.

BMGF is entitled to appoint one director to our board and to designate one person to attend all meetings of the board in an observer capacity and receive all documents and materials that are provided to each director.

Feasibility Grant

We are also a party to a grant agreement with BMGF dated November 5, 2019, or the Grant Agreement, which sets out the terms for us to carry out the Additional Assay Projects described in the Cooperation Agreement. The purpose of the project is to accelerate the development and feasibility assessment of POC diagnostic tests, including a low-cost active tuberculosis test, sickle cell disease test, and three tests for use in maternal and antenatal care. We have agreed to conduct and manage the project in a manner that is consistent with our commitment to disseminate knowledge and information relating to the project and increase availability and accessibility of point of care diagnostic tests. Under the terms of the Grant Agreement, BMGF has granted us $8.0 million. The proceeds of the grant must not be used for any purpose other than the project, and no more than 20% of the proceeds may be used for activities in the U.S. Any funds not used during the course of Grant

172

Agreement must also be returned to BMGF upon expiration or termination of the Grant Agreement. Should any individuals receive compensation paid in whole or in part from the grant proceeds in return for their work on the project, we will track and record the actual time worked by these individuals. We are required to apprise BMGF of our progress against the targets and/or milestones mentioned above.

The feasibility grant extends to October 31, 2021. BMGF may terminate the Grant Agreement if (i) BMGF is not reasonably satisfied with our progress on the project, (ii) there are significant changes to our leadership or other factors that BMGF reasonably believes may threaten the success of the project, (iii) there is a change in our control, (iv) there is a change in our tax status, or (v) we fail to comply with the terms of the Grant Agreement.

BMGF-COVID-19 Support Grant

In October 2020, BMGF, with support from Strive Masiyawa, The Rockefeller Foundation and Mastercard Inc., agreed to provide additional grant funding to secure access to a significant number of Instruments and Test Strips for supply into middle and low income countries, or LMICs. These Instruments and SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests were subsidized by BMGF for deployment in Africa from the third quarter of 2020 to first quarter of 2021. The grant includes an initial commercial implementation plan for roll out in selected countries in Africa. Additional support would be provided by selected procurement partners. The Grant includes a similar global access commitment as other earlier grants entered into. In March 2021, BMGF provided an additional grant so secure access to additional SARS-CoV-2 testing so LMIC (which have received instruments) can continue testing at a subsidized rate by the BMGF.

BMGF-Manufacturing Support Grant

In November 2020, BMGF agreed to provide an additional grant to secure access to our strip manufacturing capacity. The grant provides BMGF access to a maximum volume of 50 million strips for 2021 and 150 million strips per year from 2022 for distribution and sale in LMICs/Africa, with flexibility in product mix as forecasted on a quarterly basis. Any test strips and instruments not covered under the quarterly forecasts or not ordered shall no longer be required to be supplied Instruments to LMICs. Test strips and Instruments would be made available at affordable pricing as agreed between the parties.

Note Purchase Agreement

We have borrowed $18.0 million from BMGF pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated October 17, 2019, or the unsecured loan. The unsecured loan is evidenced by an unsecured subordinated promissory note, accrues interest at the rate of two percent per annum and is subject to default if certain commitments made in the Cooperation Agreement relating to the development of the V7 Diagnostic instrument are not met, in addition to customary events of default. Unless otherwise extended and subject to any event of default (as detailed in the note purchase agreement), payments are due quarterly and the unsecured loan matures on October 15, 2024.

The indebtedness evidenced by the promissory note ranks (i) pari passu in right of payment to the 5% notes and the 10% notes), and (ii) subordinated to all amounts owed to the holders of senior indebtedness (as described in the note purchase agreement).

While the promissory note is outstanding, we have agreed that we will not pay certain distributions, dividends or undertake returns of capital, without the prior consent of BMGF, among other courses of action detailed in the unsecured loan.

CVS Exclusivity Agreement

On August 3, 2018, we entered into an agreement with CVS, or the CVS Exclusivity Agreement, pursuant to which we granted to CVS the exclusive right to purchase and use our Platform (or any components thereof,

173

including the embedded software) in medical clinics located in retail stores and retail pharmacy businesses, or the Exclusive Field, in the United States and its territories, or the Territory. Such exclusivity continues until one year following the date on which we provide to CVS notice that: (i) we have launched at least one of specified products listed in the CVS Exclusivity Agreement, which does not include COVID-19 tests, for use with our Platform; (ii) all regulatory approvals have been obtained to perform and commercialize the relevant product(s), and (iii) we are in a position to supply commercially reasonable quantities of the Platform under mutually agreed supply and quality agreements, or the Exclusivity Period. We have not yet provided such notice to CVS.

We have agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the regulatory approvals (on a CLlA-waived basis) required for the commercialization of several of the products listed in the CVS Exclusivity Agreement in the Exclusive Field in the Territory within the first 24 months from August 2018. Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, our primary focus has been on obtaining the approvals required to commercialize our SARS-CoV-2 tests and our other research and development programs have experienced delays. Therefore, obtaining certain of the approvals set out in the CVS Exclusivity Agreement will be delayed.

Prior to the launch of the first commercial supply of products to CVS, we and CVS are obligated to negotiate in good faith the terms of a supply agreement and quality agreement. The supply agreement will grant CVS a license to sell and provide commercial testing services to its customers using the Platform in the Exclusive Field and Non-Exclusive Field in the Territory. Such license will expire at the end of the Term (as defined below). We retain ownership of all intellectual property developed under the CVS Exclusivity Agreement, including rights in any new features and functionality developed for the Platform, as well as all regulatory filings that relate to the Platform.

The CVS Exclusivity Agreement will expire at the end of the Exclusivity Period, or the Term, unless earlier terminated. CVS may terminate the agreement at any time by providing us with written notice. The CVS Exclusivity Agreement may also be terminated by either party: (i) if the other party materially defaults in the performance of its duties, subject to a 90-day cure period; (ii) if there is a material breach of the agreement or the supply agreement that cannot be cured; (iii) if the other party becomes insolvent; or (iv) if there is a force majeure event and the other party cannot perform its duties under the agreement within three months of the event.

CVS Purchase Agreement

On August 14, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement with CVS, or the CVS Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we committed to make a minimum monthly quantity of our Instrument and SARS-CoV-2 test strips, as well as ancillary equipment such as collection supplies necessary to administer the SARS-CoV-2 antigen and antibody tests, available to CVS in the United States. If we fail to meet these commitments, it would constitute a breach of the CVS Purchase Agreement. Our initial minimum monthly commitment to CVS was a significant portion of our supply through to the end of 2020. CVS is not obligated to make any minimum purchases under the CVS Purchase Agreement. Any purchases made by CVS are subject to the terms of the CVS Purchase Agreement. Subject to certain conditions being met, we have also agreed that CVS will receive the best price as compared to any of our other POC customers in the U.S., other than U.S. Federal or state government agencies.

All obligations under the CVS Purchase Agreement are subject to us obtaining and maintaining the regulatory approvals required for the use of our Instrument and SARS-CoV-2 test strips in patient care settings outside of the clinical laboratory environment.

Subject to certain termination provisions, the CVS Purchase Agreement continues through December 31, 2021 and may be renewed or extended for an additional period of time by written agreement of the parties. CVS may terminate the CVS Purchase Agreement without cause upon 30 days’ notice. In addition, the CVS Purchase Agreement may be terminated (i) by either party if there is a material breach which remains uncured for 30 days, (ii) by either party in the event of the other party’s insolvency or receivership, or (iii) by CVS if we fail to obtain and maintain any required FDA approvals or authorizations. If CVS terminates the CVS Purchase Agreement for cause, CVS may return any unused products to us and receive a full refund of any amounts paid.

174

Flextronics—Manufacturing Services Agreement

On October 18, 2017, we entered into a manufacturing services agreement, or MSA, with Flextronics Medical Sales and Marketing, Ltd, or Flextronics, pursuant to which Flextronics has agreed to perform manufacturing, assembling and testing services, and to procure and supply the relevant materials, for the production of our Instrument.

The MSA had an initial two-year term and now automatically renews for successive one-year terms. Either party may terminate the MSA upon six months’ written notice to the other prior to the end of the then-current term that it does not intend to renew the MSA at the end of the term. The MSA may also be terminated by either party if: (i) the other party defaults on any payment, subject to a 14 day cure period, (iii) the other party materially defaults in its performance of its duties under the MSA, subject to a 30-day cure period, (iv) the other party becomes insolvent; or (v) there is a force majeure event and the other party cannot perform its duties under the MSA within 90 days of the event.

Intellectual Property

We strive to protect the proprietary technologies that we believe are important to our business, including pursuing and maintaining patent protection intended to cover our Platform technologies, including our Instrument and test strips, and the use of the foregoing in clinical assays, and other inventions that are important to our business. We also protect other valuable aspects of our business as confidential know-how, and if eligible, as trade secrets.

Our commercial success depends in part upon our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other protection for commercially important technologies, inventions, trade secrets and know-how related to our business; defend and enforce our intellectual property rights, particularly our patent rights; preserve the confidentiality of our trade secrets and know-how; and operate without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others.

The patent positions for diagnostic companies like ours are generally uncertain and can involve complex legal, scientific and factual issues (see, for example, the section headed “Risk Factors—Intellectual Property Risks Related to Our Business” beginning on page 56). In addition, the regional or national patent offices worldwide can require the scope of claims pending in a patent application to be significantly reduced or otherwise changed in order to obtain grant of a patent; and the scope, meaning, validity, and/or enforceability of granted claims can be challenged in a variety of proceedings. As a result, we cannot guarantee that any of our Platform technologies, including our Instrument, test strips, and clinical assay products will be protected or remain protectable by enforceable patents. We cannot predict whether any particular patent application that we are currently pursuing in any particular jurisdiction will be granted as a patent or whether the claims of any patents we obtain will sufficiently exclude competitors from making, using, or selling our inventions. Nor can we guarantee that third parties will not circumvent our patent claims by designing around them.

Our patent portfolio consists of patent families assigned to our subsidiaries LumiraDx UK, Ltd. and SureSensor, and includes granted U.S. and ex-U.S. patents, pending provisional or priority applications filed in the U.S. or the U.K., pending U.S. and ex-U.S. patent applications that are undergoing or will undergo substantive examination, and applications filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, or PCT, from which we will be able to pursue regional or national phase patent applications that will be subject to substantive examination. We will continue to file additional patent applications as we deem appropriate and of commercial value.

As of March 31, 2021, our patent estate includes at least 10 U.S. patents, at least 60 foreign patents, seven pending U.S. non-provisional patent applications, four pending PCT patent applications, at least 60 pending foreign patent applications, and seven pending U.S. provisional applications relating to our Platform technologies, clinical assays, Amira System, and related technologies, for example, assay formats or protocols that we may implement on our test strips. We have filed patent applications in seven patent families, which are

175

discussed in more detail below, that relate to more current aspects of our Platform technologies, clinical assays, and Amira System, but those patent filings are still at an early stage of examination or have not yet entered into examination. We have granted patents in Europe, Hong Kong and Russia in the first patent family and a granted patent in Europe in the fourth patent family, and we will continue to seek patent protection in other jurisdictions for these families, as well as for the other patent families as appropriate.

We own five families of patent applications, at different stages of filing and prosecution, directed to our Platform technologies, that seek to protect various aspects of our Instrument, test strips, and other technologies generally applicable to our various strip assays. The first patent family has a granted European patent (which has been validated in the U.K., Germany, France, Ireland, and Italy) and granted Russian and Hong Kong patents, and applications pending in the U.S., the European Patent Office, Canada, Mexico, and a number of countries in Asia; the claims in this family are directed to various aspects of our Instrument and test strips. The term of the validated patents in the U.K., Germany, France, and Italy and the granted Russian and Hong Kong patents will expire, and the term of any patents granted on the noted applications would expire in 2037, in each case subject to the timely payment of the requisite annuities or other renewal fees. A second patent family contains a PCT application that is directed to certain aspects of the magnetic capture technologies implemented in our Instrument. We expect to pursue one or more regional or national stage applications based on this PCT application; the terms of any patents resulting from such regional or national stage applications would expire in 2039, in each case subject to the timely payment of the requisite annuities or other renewal fees. A third patent family contains pending PCT, U.K., and Taiwanese applications directed to additional features of our Instrument and test strip technologies, including specific embodiments of our SARS-CoV-2 tests. We expect to pursue one or more regional or national stage applications based on this PCT application; the terms of any patents resulting from such regional or national stage applications would expire in 2041, in each case subject to the timely payment of the requisite annuities or other renewal fees. A fourth patent family directed to our STAR nucleic acid amplification system has a granted European patent (which has been validated in the U.K., Germany, Ireland, France and the Netherlands) and pending applications in the U.S., other North American countries, the European Patent Office, and countries in Asia. The term of the validated patents in the U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands will expire, and the term of any patents granted from the pending patent applications would expire in 2037, in each case subject to the timely payment of the requisite annuities or other renewal fees. A fifth patent family directed to our qSTAR nucleic acid amplification system has patent applications pending in the U.S., Canada, the European Patent Office, South America, South Africa, and countries in Asia. The term of any patents granted from these applications would expire in 2039, in each case subject to the timely payment of the requisite annuities or other renewal fees. We plan to seek patent protection for other aspects of our Platform technologies as they are developed.

With regard to our clinical assays, we have applied for and, if available, will continue to apply for, patent protection for the assays that will be implemented on our Platform. We have a sixth patent family containing pending patent applications in Canada, China, Europe, Japan, and the U.S.; the terms of any patents resulting from these applications would expire in 2039, in each case subject to the timely payment of the requisite annuities or other renewal fees. As noted above, the third Platform patent family seeks to protect certain features of our SARS-CoV-2 tests; any regional or national stage applications based on this PCT application that issue as patents would expire in 2041, in each case subject to the timely payment of the requisite annuities or other renewal fees.

We have a seventh patent family containing U.S. provisional patent applications directed to our Amira System. Any non-provisional patent application or PCT application claiming priority to these provisional applications must be filed in 2021, and the term of any resulting patents based on these filings would expire in 2041, in each case subject to the timely payment of the requisite annuities or other renewal fees.

176

The seven patent families, including exemplary jurisdictions where patent applications have been filed, exemplary subject matter being pursed in the applications, and expected expiration dates are summarized in the following table.

(2)	The expiration dates assume that non-provisional patent applications will be filed approximately one year after the earliest priority date and that national stage applications will be filed, as appropriate, and pursued until grant, and that all renewal and annuity fees will be paid.

In most countries worldwide, the term of a utility patent expires 20 years from the earliest effective non-provisional filing date, subject to the timely payment of the requisite annuities or other renewal fees.

We protect other valuable aspects of our business as confidential know-how, and, if eligible, as trade secrets. For example, we protect certain aspects of our manufacturing processes as trade secrets. Although trade secret protection does not expire as long as the protected information is kept secret from the public, it can be challenging to maintain such efforts. We take business-reasonable steps to protect our trade secrets and other confidential proprietary information, including by physically restricting access to our premises and physically and/or electronically securing our confidential information, as well as by requiring our employees, consultants, scientific advisors, contractors and commercial partners to execute non-disclosure agreements. However, third parties may independently develop the subject matter of trade secrets that we hold, in which case we have no remedy if such parties should use such subject matter in furtherance of their own commercial interests. Further, while the law may provide remedies against third-party misappropriation or other unlawful access to our trade secrets and other proprietary information, such remedies may be difficult to obtain in practice and may not make our business whole even if successfully obtained. As a result, we may be unable to meaningfully protect or derive the full benefit of our trade secrets and other valuable proprietary information.

Government Regulation

Regulation

Our POC diagnostic system and tests are highly regulated IVDs. In addition, we are subject to a variety of regulations and industry standards worldwide governing, among other things, data privacy, distribution of our products and patents and trademark licensing.

The key U.S. and European regulations that are applicable to our business are discussed in more detail below. Whether or not we obtain FDA clearance or approval or a CE Mark for a product, we must obtain the requisite approvals from regulatory authorities in foreign countries prior to the use of a diagnostic or other product in those countries. The requirements and processes governing patient consents, product registration and pricing vary from country to country.

U.S. Regulation

Our business is subject to and impacted by extensive and frequently changing laws and regulations in the U.S. at both the federal and state levels. These laws and regulations include those particular to our business and laws and regulations relating to conducting business generally. We also are subject to inspections and audits by governmental agencies. Set forth below are highlights of the key U.S. regulatory schemes applicable to our business.

178

FDA

In the U.S., medical devices, including IVDs, are subject to extensive regulation by FDA, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and its implementing regulations, and other federal and state statutes and regulations. The laws and regulations govern, among other things, medical device development, testing, labeling, storage, premarket clearance or approval, advertising and promotion, reporting, and product sales and distribution. To be commercially distributed in the U.S., medical devices must receive from FDA prior to marketing, unless subject to an exemption, either approval of a PMA (for most Class III devices), clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification or classification pursuant to a de novo submission.

IVDs are types of medical devices that can be used in the diagnosis or detection of diseases, conditions or infections, including, without limitation, the presence of certain chemicals, genetic information or other biomarkers. Predictive, prognostic and screening tests, such as carrier screening tests, can also be IVDs.

Emergency Use Authorizations

The Secretary of Health and Human Services may authorize unapproved medical products, including IVDs, to be marketed in the context of an actual or potential emergency that has been designated by the government. The COVID-19 pandemic has been designated such a national emergency. After an emergency has been announced, the Secretary of Health and Human Services may authorize the issuance of, and the FDA Commissioner may issue EUAs for the use of specific products based on criteria established by statute, including that the product at issue may be effective in diagnosing, treating, or preventing serious or life-threatening diseases when there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. An EUA is subject to additional conditions and restrictions and is product-specific. For unapproved products authorized under an EUA, including our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, such conditions on authorization include, to the extent practicable given the applicable circumstances described in an EUA declaration, the obligation to provide facts sheets for healthcare providers administering the product and product recipients, adverse event monitoring and reporting, and recordkeeping and reporting requirements by product manufacturers. FDA may also establish additional discretionary conditions of authorization that FDA deems necessary or appropriate to protect the public health, including conditions and restrictions related to product distribution and product administration and conditions with respect to data collection and analysis concerning the safety and effectiveness of the product. For example, the EUA for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test contains as conditions of authorization, among other requirements, the requirement that we track adverse events, including any occurrence of false reports and to report such occurrences to FDA, the requirement that we complete a real-time stability study for the test and to notify FDA of the testing results as they become available until completion of the study, and the requirement that we complete flex studies for the product within four months of the date the EUA was granted. An EUA terminates when the emergency determination underlying the EUA terminates. An EUA is not a long-term alternative to obtaining FDA approval, licensure, or clearance for a product. FDA may revoke an EUA where it is determined that the underlying health emergency no longer exists or warrants such authorization, so it is not possible to predict how long an EUA may remain in place.

FDA issued its Policy for Coronavirus Disease-2019 Tests During the Public Health Emergency which described a policy for commercial manufacturers that seek to develop and distribute diagnostic test kits to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus to clinical laboratories or to healthcare workers for testing. Unless and until an EUA is issued that authorizes additional testing environments for a specific test, under CLIA, use of that test is limited to laboratories certified to perform high complexity testing, including testing at the POC when the site is covered by the laboratory’s CLIA certificate for high-complexity testing. In light of the increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases throughout the country and the urgent need to expand the nation’s capacity for COVID-19 testing during the public health emergency, FDA has stated that it does not intend to object to a commercial manufacturer’s development and distribution of SARS-CoV-2 test kits for specimen testing for a reasonable period of time, where the test has been validated and while the manufacturer is preparing its EUA request, where the manufacturer gives notification of validation to FDA and where the manufacturer provides instructions for use.

179

This same policy also applies for commercial manufacturers that seek to develop and distribute serology tests that identify antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 from clinical specimens. This policy does not apply to at-home testing, including at-home specimen collection.

FDA premarket clearance and approval requirements

The FDCA classifies medical devices into one of three categories based on the risks associated with the device and the level of control necessary to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. Class I devices are deemed to be low risk and are subject to the fewest regulatory controls. Many Class I devices are exempt from FDA premarket review requirements. Class II devices, including some software products to the extent that they qualify as a device, are deemed to be moderate risk, and generally require clearance through the premarket notification, or 510(k), process in order to be commercially distributed. Class III devices are generally the highest risk devices and are subject to the highest level of regulatory control to provide reasonable assurance of the device’s safety and effectiveness. Class III devices typically require approval of a PMA by FDA before they are marketed. A clinical study is almost always required to support a PMA application and is sometimes required for 510(k) clearance. All clinical studies of investigational devices must be conducted in compliance with any applicable FDA and Institutional Review Board requirements. Devices that are exempt from FDA premarket review requirements must nonetheless comply with general post-market controls as described below, unless FDA has chosen to exercise enforcement discretion and not regulate them.

510(k) clearance pathway

To obtain 510(k) clearance, a manufacturer must submit a premarket notification demonstrating to FDA’s satisfaction that the proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a previously 510(k)-cleared device or a device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 for which FDA has not yet called for submission of PMA applications. The previously cleared device is known as a predicate. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. Clinical data is sometimes required to support substantial equivalence. FDA’s 510(k) clearance pathway usually takes from three to 12 months, but it can take longer, particularly for a novel type of product.

Before FDA will accept a 510(k) submission for substantive review, FDA will first assess whether the submission satisfies a minimum threshold of acceptability. If FDA determines that the 510(k) submission is incomplete, FDA will issue a “Refuse to Accept” letter which generally outlines the information FDA believes is necessary to permit a substantive review and to reach a determination regarding substantial equivalence. An applicant must submit the requested information within 180 days before FDA will proceed with additional review of the submission. Once the 510(k) submission is accepted for review, by regulation, FDA has 90 calendar days to review and issue a determination. As a practical matter, clearance often takes longer. FDA may require additional information, including clinical data, to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence.

If FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device currently on the market, it will grant 510(k) clearance to commercially market the device. If FDA determines that the device is “not substantially equivalent” to a previously cleared device, for example, due to a finding of a lack of a predicate device, that the device has a new intended use or different technological characteristics that raise different questions of safety or effectiveness when the device is compared to the cited predicate device, the device is automatically designated as a Class III device. The device sponsor must then fulfill more rigorous PMA requirements, or can request a risk-based classification determination for the device in accordance with the ‘‘de novo’’ process,. If FDA determines that the information provided in a 510(k) is insufficient to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device, FDA generally identifies the specific information that needs to be provided so that FDA may complete its evaluation of substantial equivalence, and such information may be provided to the 510(k) within the time allotted by FDA or in a new 510(k) should the original 510(k) have been withdrawn.

180

After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change or modification in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or, depending on the modification, PMA approval. The determination as to whether or not a modification could significantly affect the device’s safety or effectiveness is initially left to the manufacturer using available FDA guidance. Many minor modifications today are accomplished by a ‘‘letter to file’’ in which the manufacturer documents the rationale for the change and why a new 510(k) is not required. However, FDA may review such letters to file to evaluate the regulatory status of the modified product at any time and may require the manufacturer to cease marketing and recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or PMA approval is obtained. The manufacturer may also be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.

De novo pathway

For novel medical devices that are low to moderate risk and are not substantially equivalent to a predicate device, a manufacturer may request a risk-based classification determination for the device in accordance with the “de novo” classification process. This procedure allows a manufacturer whose novel device is automatically classified into Class III to request classification of its medical device into Class I or Class II on the basis that the device presents low or moderate risk, rather than requiring the submission and approval of a PMA application. A medical device may be eligible for de novo classification if the manufacturer first submitted a 510(k) premarket notification and received a determination from FDA that the device was not substantially equivalent or a manufacturer may request de novo classification directly without first submitting a 510(k) premarket notification to FDA and receiving a not substantially equivalent determination. FDA is required to classify the device within 120 days following receipt of the de novo application, although in practice, FDA’s review may take significantly longer. During the pendency of FDA’s review, FDA may issue an additional information letter, which places the de novo request on hold and stops the review clock pending receipt of the additional information requested. In the event the de novo requestor does not provide the requested information within 180 calendar days, FDA will consider the de novo request to be withdrawn. If the manufacturer seeks reclassification into Class II, the manufacturer must include a draft proposal for special controls, which often include labeling and other restrictions, that are necessary to provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the medical device. In addition, FDA may reject the de novo request for classification if it identifies a legally marketed predicate device that would be appropriate for a 510(k) or determines that the device is not low to moderate risk or that general controls would be inadequate to control the risks and special controls cannot be developed. In the event FDA determines the data and information submitted demonstrate that general controls or general and special controls are adequate to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, FDA will grant the de novo request for classification. When FDA grants a de novo request for classification, the device is granted marketing authorization and further can serve as a predicate for future devices of that type, through a 510(k) premarket notification. The de novo route is less burdensome than the PMA process. The de novo route has been used for many IVD products.

PMA pathway

Class III devices require PMA approval before they can be marketed. The PMA pathway requires proof of the safety and effectiveness of the device to FDA’s satisfaction. The PMA pathway is costly, lengthy and uncertain. A PMA application must provide extensive preclinical study and clinical trial data as well as information about the device and its components regarding, among other things, device design, manufacturing and labeling. As part of its PMA review process, FDA will typically inspect the manufacturer’s facilities for compliance with Quality System Regulation, or QSR, requirements, which impose elaborate testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures. The PMA review process typically takes one to three years but can take longer.

Post-market regulation

After a device, including a device exempt from FDA premarket review, is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements apply. These include establishment registration and device listing, the QSR, labeling

181

regulations and prohibitions against the promotion of investigational products or “off-label” uses of cleared or approved products, clearance or approval of product modifications to 510(k)-cleared devices, the Medical Device Reporting regulation (which requires that manufacturers report to FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur), the Reports of Corrections and Removals regulation (which requires manufacturers to report product removals and field actions to FDA if initiated to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA), and post-market surveillance activities and regulations.

Additionally, the manufacturing facilities may be subject to periodic unannounced inspections by government authorities to ensure compliance with QSR and other laws. QSR governs the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the design, manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, installation, and servicing of finished devices. Manufacturers may have to provide, on request, electronic or physical records regarding their establishments. Delaying, denying, limiting or refusing inspection by FDA may lead to a product being deemed to be adulterated.

Advertising and promotion of medical devices, in addition to being regulated by FDA, are also regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and by state regulatory and enforcement authorities. Promotional activities for FDA-regulated products have been the subject of enforcement action brought under healthcare reimbursement laws and consumer protection statutes. In general, if FDA determines that our promotional materials or training constitutes promotion of an unapproved or uncleared use, it could request that we modify our training or promotional materials or subject us to regulatory or enforcement actions. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action if they consider our promotional or training materials to constitute promotion of an unapproved or uncleared use, which could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement.

FDA has broad regulatory compliance and enforcement powers. If FDA finds a violation, it can institute a wide variety of compliance or enforcement actions, ranging from an untitled or public warning letter to more severe sanctions such as fines, injunctions and civil penalties; recall or seizure of products; operating restrictions and partial suspension or total shutdown of production; refusing requests for 510(k) clearance or PMA approval of new products; reclassifying devices subject to 510(k) clearance; withdrawing PMAs already granted; and criminal prosecution.

Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendments

Our IVD devices also are subject to the CLIA and its implementing regulations in the U.S., which establish quality standards for all laboratory testing to ensure the accuracy, reliability and timeliness of patient test results regardless of where the test is performed. A laboratory is broadly defined to include any facility that performs laboratory testing on specimens derived from humans for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of disease, or the impairment of, or assessment of health. The regulations promulgated under CLIA establish three levels of IVD tests: (1) waived; (2) moderately complex; and (3) highly complex. When a test is categorized as waived, it may be performed by laboratories that have a Certificate of Waiver.

Tests that are waived by the CLIA regulations are automatically categorized as waived following 510(k) clearance or PMA approval. Otherwise, following clearance or approval, FDA will classify the IVD in accordance with the CLIA regulations. Manufacturers of clinical laboratory test systems, such as IVDs, that are categorized as moderate complexity according to the CLIA categorization criteria may request categorization of the text as waived through a CLIA Waiver by Application submission to FDA. Waived tests are simple laboratory examinations and procedures that have an insignificant risk of an erroneous result, including those that (A) employ methodologies that are so simple and accurate as to render the likelihood of erroneous results negligible or (B) FDA has determined pose no reasonable risk of harm to patients if the examinations or procedures are performed incorrectly. These tests are waived from regulatory oversight of the user other than the requirement to follow the manufacturer’s labeling and directions for use. Further, when FDA authorizes tests for

182

use at the POC under an EUA, such tests are deemed to be CLIA waived tests. As such, such tests can be performed in a patient care setting that is qualified to have the test performed there as a result of operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver for the duration of the emergency declaration.

Federal Communications Commission

Our products contain radio communicating transmitters, which are subject to regulations enforced by the Federal Communications Commission. Such regulations regulate radio transmissions and ensure that radio emitting devices do not degrade or interfere with public transmissions or the public telecommunications network.

HIPAA and the HITECH Act

Under the administrative simplification provisions of HIPAA, as amended by the HITECH Act, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued regulations that establish uniform standards governing the conduct of certain electronic healthcare transactions and protecting the privacy and security of protected health information used or disclosed by healthcare providers and other covered entities and their business associates. The regulations with which we are required to comply have been issued in final form under HIPAA and include: privacy regulations, security regulations and standards for electronic transactions, which establish standards for common healthcare transactions. The privacy and security regulations were extensively amended in 2013 to incorporate requirements from the HITECH Act.

The privacy regulations establish restrictions on the use and disclosure of protected health information by healthcare providers and other covered entities and their business associates. They also set forth certain rights that an individual has with respect to his or her protected health information maintained by a covered entity, including the right to access or amend certain records containing protected health information, or to request restrictions on the use or disclosure of protected health information. The security regulations establish requirements for safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of protected health information that is electronically transmitted or electronically stored. The HITECH Act, among other things, established certain protected health information security breach notification requirements. A covered entity must notify affected individual(s) and the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and a business associate must notify its respective covered entity, when there is a breach of unsecured protected health information. The HITECH Act also strengthened the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against covered entities, business associates, and individuals, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorneys’ fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, other federal and state laws may govern the privacy and security of health and other information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not be preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts. The HIPAA privacy and security regulations establish a uniform federal “floor” that covered entities and their business associates must meet and do not supersede state laws that are more stringent or provide individuals with greater rights with respect to the privacy or security of, and access to, their records containing protected health information.

These laws contain significant fines and other penalties for wrongful use or disclosure of protected health information, failure to safeguard protected health information, or failure to notify of a breach of protected health information. Additionally, to the extent that we submit electronic healthcare claims and payment transactions that do not comply with the electronic data transmission standards established under HIPAA and the HITECH Act, payments to us may be delayed or denied.

United States Federal and State Fraud and Abuse Laws

In the United States, there are various fraud and abuse laws with which we must comply and we are potentially subject to regulation by various federal, state and local authorities, including CMS, other divisions of

183

the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (e.g., the Office of Inspector General), the Department of Justice, or DOJ, and individual U.S. Attorney offices within the DOJ, and state and local governments. We also may be subject to foreign fraud and abuse or similar laws.

In the United States, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, persons and entities from knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration (including any kickback, bribe, or certain rebates), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward, or in return for, either the referral of an individual, or purchasing, leasing, ordering, recommending or arranging for the purchase, lease, arrangement, recommendation or order of, any good, facility, item, or service for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal healthcare program, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. A person or entity can be found guilty of violating the statute without actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it. The term remuneration has been interpreted broadly to include anything of value. Courts have stated that a financial arrangement may violate the Anti-Kickback Statute if any one purpose of the arrangement is to encourage patient referrals or other federal healthcare program business, regardless of whether there are other legitimate purposes for the arrangement. Violations are subject to significant civil and criminal fines and penalties for each violation, imprisonment, and exclusion from government healthcare programs. In addition, a claim submitted for payment to any federal healthcare program that includes items or services that were made as a result of a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the FCA. There are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute protecting some common activities from prosecution, though the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly and practices that involve remuneration intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualify for an exception or safe harbor. Many states also have anti-kickback statutes, some of which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial insurers.

In addition to the administrative simplification regulations discussed above, HIPAA also created two new federal crimes: healthcare fraud and false statements relating to healthcare matters. The healthcare fraud statute prohibits knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private payors, or obtaining, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any of the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of, any healthcare benefit program, regardless of the payor (e.g., public or private). A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment or exclusion from governmental payor programs such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up by any trick or device a material fact, or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment or exclusion from governmental payor programs. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity can be found guilty of violating the HIPAA fraud provisions without actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it.

Finally, another development affecting the healthcare industry is the increased enforcement of the FCA and, in particular, actions brought pursuant to the FCA’s “whistleblower” or qui tam provisions. The federal civil and criminal false claims laws, including the FCA and civil monetary penalty laws impose liability on any person or entity that, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment to, or approval by Medicare or Medicaid, or other federal governmental payor programs; or knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false, fictitious or fraudulent claim or an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the federal government; or knowingly conceals or knowingly and improperly avoids, decreases or conceals an obligation to pay money to the federal government. The qui tam provisions of the FCA allow a private individual to bring actions on behalf of the federal government alleging that the defendant has defrauded the federal government by submitting a false claim to the federal government and permit such individuals to share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. Manufacturers can be held liable under the FCA even when they do not submit claims directly to government payors if they are deemed to “cause” the submission of false or fraudulent claims. When

184

an entity is determined to have violated the FCA, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus significant civil penalties for each false claim. These civil penalties are adjusted for inflation periodically.

In addition, various states have enacted false claim laws analogous to the federal FCA, although many of these state laws apply where a claim is submitted to any third-party payor and not merely a governmental payor program.

Other United States Regulatory Requirements

Our laboratories are subject to United States federal, state and local regulations relating to the handling and disposal of regulated medical waste, hazardous waste and biohazardous waste, including chemical, biological agents and compounds, blood samples and other human tissue. Typically, we use outside vendors who are contractually obligated to comply with applicable laws and regulations to dispose of such waste. These vendors are licensed or otherwise qualified to handle and dispose of such waste.

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has established extensive requirements relating to workplace safety for healthcare employers, including requirements to develop and implement programs to protect workers from exposure to blood-borne pathogens by preventing or minimizing any exposure through needle stick or similar penetrating injuries.

The U.S. federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act created under the ACA, and its implementing regulations, require certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, to annually report to CMS information related to direct or indirect payments or other transfers of value made to U.S.-licensed physicians defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors) and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Effective January 1, 2022, these reporting obligations will be extended to include payments and transfers of value made in the previous year to certain non-physician providers, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and certified nurse midwives.

European Regulation

Sales of IVDs in the European Economic Area are subject to the European regulatory framework. The time required to obtain clearance or approval by a foreign country may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA clearance or approval, and the requirements may be different. Set forth below are highlights of the key European regulatory schemes applicable to our business.

European Conformity Marking (“CE Mark”) and Certifications

In order to place an IVD, or an accessory to an IVD, on the market in the E.U./European Economic Area, the device must be designed, developed, manufactured, and marketed in compliance with the relevant legal framework. Currently, IVDs must be compliant with Directive 98/79/EEC, or the Directive; however, from May 26, 2022 Regulation (EU) 2017/746, or the Regulation will replace the Directive. While the new Regulation will have direct effect in all European Economic Area countries, the Directive required national implementing legislation in each country, which had historically led to some variation in the regimes in each country.

Prior to May 26, 2022, IVDs that have been assessed for conformity with the requirements of the Directive, including notably the “essential requirements” set out in Annex I of the Directive, are entitled to bear a CE Mark indicating that the device conforms to the standards required by the Directive. IVDs that have been CE marked may be placed on the market throughout the Member States of the E.U. and the European Economic Area, and other countries that comply with or mirror the Directive.

185

The method of assessing conformity of IVDs will depend on the type and classification of the IVD. For IVDs that are in the lowest risk classification (meaning that they do not appear in the list set out in Annex II of the Directive nor are they used for the purpose of self-testing by the user/patient), the manufacturer can self-assess that the IVDs comply with the essential requirements in the Directive without any review or intervention by any regulatory body and/or third-party. In doing so, the manufacturer must comply with Common Technical Specifications adopted by the European Commission for certain diagnostic tests, unless they can justify not doing so. The manufacturer may choose to comply with harmonized technical standards adopted by European standards bodies. Although compliance with these standards is not mandatory, compliance raises a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements that each standard addresses.

Once the manufacturer has gathered the technical documentation necessary to demonstrate this in the form of a technical file, it must draw up a declaration of conformity and can then affix a CE Mark to the device and place it on the market. The only additional requirements are (i) that the manufacturer (or its authorized representative if the manufacturer is outside the European Economic Area) must maintain a copy of the relevant technical file, so that it can be inspected by national device regulators; (ii) that the manufacturer and, where relevant, its authorized representative must register themselves and their IVDs, so that these authorities know when the products are to be marketed; and (iii) that the manufacturer must perform device vigilance to monitor the safety and performance of the IVDs on the market, reporting both adverse incidents and any field safety corrective actions, or FSCAs, to the authorities, as appropriate. Challenges by European regulatory authorities may arise subsequently if there is an issue related to the compliance, safety or performance of the device. Such challenges may arise from a routine audit or enquiry by a regulatory authority, or following device vigilance reports by the company or others, or reports of FSCAs by the company, or complaints made by competitors.

Under the Directive, any IVD that is for self-testing or that appears in Annex II (meaning that these devices cannot use the self-certification process) must have their compliance with the Directive reviewed and certified by a European Notified Body. Notified bodies are usually private, non-governmental, independent bodies that are authorized/licensed by governmental authorities to perform conformity assessments. They enter into a contractual arrangement with manufacturers to carry out the conformity assessment of IVDs. The Notified Body will review the technical documentation, including assessing the available clinical evidence, literature data for the product and any available post-market experience. There is some flexibility regarding the conformity assessment procedure the manufacturer uses. If the manufacturer decides to base its conformity assessment on an assessment of its Full Quality Assurance System (rather than a more product-focused “Type Examination”), the Notified Body will also perform an audit of the manufacturer’s quality system against an international standard, EN ISO 13485:2016. If the Notified Body deems the IVD (and where applicable the manufacturer’s quality system) conforms to the Directive it will issue a certificate of conformity for the device and, where applicable, a certificate of conformity for the manufacturer’s quality system, which the manufacturer can use as the basis for its declaration of conformity, then affix a CE Mark and thus place the IVD on the market in the E.U./European Economic Area.

On May 26, 2017 the Regulation entered into force and, from May 26, 2022, the Regulation will apply and will replace the Directive. From that date, IVDs should have been assessed for conformity with the Regulation, and should not be CE marked and placed on the market unless they are in compliance. However, the Regulation provides for a transition period that allows manufacturers or products that benefit from certificates of conformity issued by European Notified Bodies under the Directive prior to May 26, 2022 to continue to place those products on the market until May 26, 2024. Where they have been placed on the market prior to that date, they may then be distributed and supplied to end users until May 26, 2025. However, this transition period does not apply to IVDs that have undergone manufacturer self-certification nor does it to products that benefit from Notified Body certificates of conformity but where the manufacturer has made significant changes to a device since the certificate was issued. These products must be in compliance with the Regulation from May 26, 2022, or from the date of the change if that occurs prior to May 26, 2024.

186

As with the Directive, the Regulation requires that IVDs must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, have a declaration of conformity drawn up and bear the CE Mark before a manufacturer can place them on the E.U./European Economic Area market. However, the Regulation will up-classify many IVDs that the Directive currently allows manufacturers to self-assess and declare conformity, so that the vast majority of IVDs, including all diagnostic tests, will require a European Notified Body conformity assessment as part of the conformity assessment process. In practice, manufacturers may only be able to self-assess and declare the conformity of consumables and apparatus that are regulated as IVDs, but are not the tests themselves. The Regulation will also provide for greater use of common specifications that are presumed to be binding, unless a manufacturer can justify not doing so.

Following the U.K.’s departure from the E.U. on January 31, 2020, the U.K. continued to follow the same regulations as the E.U. during a Transition Period until the end of 2020. Now that the Transition Period has ended, the U.K. has implemented Directive 98/79/EC into U.K. law (along with other E.U. legislation on medical devices) through the Medical Devices Regulations 2002. Therefore, the two regulatory systems are independent but currently broadly aligned (although under the Northern Irish Protocol, the E.U. regulatory framework will continue to apply in Northern Ireland). The U.K. has implemented certain new regulatory requirements, including that all medical devices and IVDs must be registered with the MHRA before being placed on the G.B. market. There is a grace period to allow time for compliance with the new registration process, with higher risk devices (i.e. List A products) requiring registration by May 1, 2021, and lower risk devices requiring registration later in 2021 (List B products from September 1, 2021 and general IVDs from January 1, 2022). CE marking will continue to be recognized in G.B. for medical devices until June 30, 2023, following which a UKCA mark will be required for a medical device or IVD device to be marketed in G.B. The new E.U. medical device and IVD Regulations will not apply in G.B. and it remains uncertain at present how the U.K. regulatory regime will change in future and the extent to which it will diverge from E.U. regulations.

General Data Protection Regulation and the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018

The GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA and other related privacy and data protection legislation in the jurisdictions in which we operate impose strict requirements on controllers and processors of personal data, including special protections for sensitive personal data categories, which include health and genetic information of data subjects. The GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA impose several requirements on organizations that process such data, including: to observe core data processing principles; to comply with various accountability measures; to provide more detailed information to individuals about data processing activities; to establish a legal basis to process personal data (including enhanced consent requirements); to maintain the integrity, security and confidentiality of personal data; and to report personal data breaches. The GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA grant individuals a number of data protection rights including, for example, the opportunity to object to the processing of their personal data, allows them to request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances, and provides an individual with an express right to seek legal remedies in the event the individual believes his or her rights have been violated. Further, the GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA impose strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the European Economic Area (and the U.K.) (i.e. to “third countries”) to the United States or other regions that have not been deemed to offer “adequate” privacy protections by the European Commission / UK Government (as applicable) or a data transfer mechanism has been put in place. Until recently, one such data transfer mechanism was the EU-US Privacy Shield. However, in July 2020 the Court of Justice of the European Union, or CJEU, declared the Privacy Shield to be invalid. The CJEU upheld the validity of the standard contractual clauses, or SCCs, as a legal mechanism to transfer personal data but companies relying on SCCs will need to evaluate and implement supplementary measures that provide privacy protections additional to those provided under SCCs. In turn, the findings of the CJEU will have significant implications for cross-border data flows.

The GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA may impose additional responsibility and liability in relation to personal data that we process and we may be required to put in place additional mechanisms ensuring compliance with E.U. and U.K. data protection rules. This may be onerous and adversely affect our business,

187

financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Failure to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA and related privacy and data protection legislation may result in a variety of enforcement measures, including significant fines and other administrative measures. The GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA have introduced substantial fines for breaches of the data protection rules, increased powers for regulators, enhanced rights for individuals, and new rules on judicial remedies and collective redress (the maximum fine is the higher of 20 million Euros (or £17.5 million in the U.K.) or 4% of the total annual worldwide turnover in the preceding financial year). We may be subject to claims by third parties, such as patients or regulatory bodies, that we or our employees or independent contractors inadvertently or otherwise breached GDPR or the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA and related data protection rules. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. There is no guarantee of success in defending these claims, and if we do not prevail, we could be required to pay substantial fines and/or damages and could suffer significant reputational harm. Even if we are successful, litigation could result in substantial cost and be a distraction to management and other employees.

The GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA are complex laws and the regulatory guidance is still evolving, including with respect to how the GDPR and the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA should be applied in the context of transactions from which we may gain access to personal data. Data protection authority activity differs across the E.U. between Member States (and the U.K.), with certain authorities applying their own agenda which shows there is significant uncertainty in the manner in which data protection authorities will seek to enforce compliance with GDPR in the medical and research fields. For example, it is not yet clear if such authorities will conduct random audits of companies subject to the GDPR or the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA or will only respond to complaints filed by individuals who claim their rights have been violated. Enforcement actions to date in other industries has resulted in significant fines and other penalties. Failure to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and the related national data protection laws of E.U. member states, which may deviate slightly from the GDPR, or the U.K. GDPR and U.K. DPA, may result in material fines.

European Fraud and Abuse Laws

In Europe, various countries have adopted anti-bribery laws providing for severe consequences, in the form of criminal penalties and/or significant fines, for individuals and/or companies committing a bribery offense. Violations of these anti-bribery laws, or allegations of such violations, could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and reputation. For instance, in the U.K., under the Bribery Act 2010, a bribe occurs when a person offers, gives or promises to give a financial or other advantage to induce or reward another individual to improperly perform certain functions or activities, including any function of a public nature. Bribery of foreign public officials also falls within the scope of the Bribery Act 2010. Infringement of these laws could result in substantial fines and imprisonment.

Coverage, Pricing, and Reimbursement

In the U.S., E.U., and other markets, patients who seek diagnostic services and the providers performing such services generally rely on third-party payors to reimburse all or part of the associated healthcare costs. Accordingly, even if a medical product is authorized for marketing in a given jurisdiction, sales of such products will depend, in significant part, upon the extent to which coverage and reimbursement is provided by third-party payors. In the U.S., this includes government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, commercial health insurers, managed care organizations, and other payors.

In the U.S., no uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement for medical products exists among third-party payors. Therefore, coverage and reimbursement for products can differ significantly from payor to payor. Whether a medical product is covered, and at what price, is determined by each payor’s coverage, reimbursement and payment criteria. For example, Medicare provides coverage for items or services that are reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis of an illness, including medically necessary clinical diagnostic laboratory tests. Medicaid provides mandatory coverage for laboratory services and optional coverage (subject to state discretion)

188

for other diagnostic services. A decision by a payor not to cover any of the IVDs we develop could reduce utilization of such products once authorized for marketing and have a material adverse effect on our sales, results of operations, and financial condition. Further, one payor’s determination to provide coverage for a product or services does not assure that such coverage will continue or that other payors will also provide coverage.

The process for determining whether a payor will provide coverage for a product may be separate from the process for setting the price or reimbursement rate that the payor will pay for the product once coverage is approved, and reimbursement can vary significantly by payor, setting of care, or other factors. For example, government payor reimbursement amounts may be set forth by statute or regulation, whereas private payors may have more flexibility to set reimbursement rates. Additionally, in some settings of care such as in-patient settings, reimbursement for IVD products may be bundled with the cost of other services and not paid for separately. Such bundled payment policies could negatively impact decisions to select other diagnostic testing products over our IVD products, or vice versa.

Further, payors may adopt certain cost-containment measures that affect coverage and reimbursement amounts. Third-party payors are increasingly challenging the price and examining the medical necessity and cost-effectiveness of medical products and services. Companies may need to conduct expensive pharmacoeconomic studies in order to support coverage and reimbursement determinations, and even with such studies, medical products may not be considered medically necessary or cost effective. Due to these and other factors, reimbursement levels may not be adequate to enable us to maintain prices sufficient to realize an appropriate return on our investment in product development or generate revenue.

The containment of healthcare costs also has become a priority of federal, state and foreign governments as well as other third-party payors. Adoption of cost-containment measures or other policies could further limit a company’s revenue from the sale of any medical products. Coverage policies and reimbursement rates may change at any time. Even if favorable coverage and reimbursement status is attained for a medical product that receives marketing authorization or is CE marked and placed on the market, less favorable coverage policies and reimbursement rates may be implemented or coverage may be ended in the future.

Facilities

We lease all of our facilities. Our main R&D and manufacturing operations are located in Alloa, Scotland, Stirling Scotland, San Diego, California and Waltham, Massachusetts. We lease 460,000 square feet across various sites in Scotland and England for R&D, manufacturing, packaging, warehousing and administrative activities. We lease an aggregate of 33,900 square feet in San Diego across two facilities and 21,000 square feet in Waltham for R&D, manufacturing, packaging and administrative activities.

In addition, we lease facilities in Austria, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the U.K. for R&D, manufacturing, warehousing, sales and administrative activities.

Lease terms generally vary between one and five years. Our core manufacturing site in Scotland has a lease that expires in 2030 (with an early termination option in 2025).

Employees

As of March 31, 2021, we had 1,210 employees. Of these employees, 355 were in R&D, 507 were in manufacturing and service delivery, 131 were in sales and marketing and 217 were in general and administrative functions. None of our personnel are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relationship with our employees to be positive.

189

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be a party to litigation or subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. There are currently no claims or actions pending against us that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Merger. The Merger will be accounted for as a recapitalization of LumiraDx, pursuant to which the Merger will be treated as the equivalent of LumiraDx issuing stock for the net assets of CAH, which primarily consist of cash, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CAH will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 combines the audited historical balance sheet of CAH as of December 31, 2020 adjusted to give effect to CAH’s initial public offering (“IPO”) (which was completed in January 2021) with the audited historical consolidated balance sheet of LumiraDx as of December 31, 2020, giving effect to the Merger as if CAH’s IPO and the Merger had been consummated on December 31, 2020.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 combines the audited historical statement of operations of CAH and the audited historical consolidated statement of operations of LumiraDx for such period, giving effect to the Merger as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with:

•

the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;

•

the audited historical financial statements of CAH as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from October 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 adjusted to give effect to CAH’s IPO (which occurred subsequently in January 2021), and the related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus;

•

the audited historical consolidated financial statements of LumiraDx as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•

the sections entitled “The Merger Agreement,” “LumiraDx’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp.’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and other financial information relating to CAH and LumiraDx included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information below presents two redemption scenarios as follows:

•

Assuming no Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no public stockholders exercise their rights to redeem any of their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, and thus the full amount held in the Trust Account at Closing is available for the Merger.

•

Assuming maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that all CAH stockholders holding 10,679,773 shares of CAH common stock will exercise their redemption rights for $106.8 million of funds in CAH’s trust account. Under CAH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Merger may be consummated only if CAH has at least $5.0 million of net tangible assets after giving effect to all holders of public shares that properly demand redemption of their shares for cash. However, LumiraDx is not required to consummate the Merger unless there is at least $65.0 million of funds in CAH’s trust account, prior to payment of any unpaid or contingent liabilities, deferred underwriting fees or transaction costs of any of the parties.

191

The historical financial statements of LumiraDx have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in its presentation currency of US Dollars. The historical financial statements of CAH have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP in its presentation currency of US dollars. The historical financial information of CAH has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between US GAAP and IFRS for the purposes of the combined pro forma financial information. No adjustments were required to convert CAH’s financial statements from US GAAP to IFRS for purposes of the combined pro forma financial information, except to reclassify shares of CAH Class A Common Stock subject to redemption to non-current liabilities under IFRS. The adjustments presented in the pro forma combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the Company after giving effect to the Merger.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Merger taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.	Description of the Transactions

On April 6, 2021, CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“CAH”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among LumiraDx Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“LumiraDX”), LumiraDx Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of LumiraDx (“Merger Sub”), and CAH, which among other things, provides for Merger Sub to be merged with and into CAH with CAH being the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”).

Initial Public Offering of CAH

CAH completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in January 2021, pursuant to which it issued and sold 11,500,000 units, including 1,500,000 units purchased by the underwriters pursuant to the over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one share of CAH common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half of one CAH public warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of CAH common stock for $11.50 per share. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, CAH completed the private sale of an aggregate of 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants to the sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $4,050,000.

Adjustments to reflect the completion of CAH’s IPO and private sale of warrants have been presented in a separate column “CAH IPO Adjustments” on the unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet.

Pre-Merger Transactions

Capital Restructuring of LumiraDx. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) (A) each series A preferred share that is issued and outstanding will be converted into LMDX ordinary shares in accordance with the LumiraDx Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”); (B) each series B preferred share that is issued and outstanding will be converted into LMDX common shares in accordance with the Articles; (C) the 5% notes will be converted into 9,195,340 LMDX common shares; and (D) the 10% notes will be converted into 7,802,080 LMDX common shares. Immediately thereafter (but prior to the Effective Time), LumiraDx shall effect a subdivision of each LMDX ordinary share and each LMDX common share into such number of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement at the Conversion Factor (being 2.625766662:1) to achieve an exchange ratio in the Merger of one LMDX common share for each share of common stock of CAH (the “Subdivision”). We refer to these steps collectively as the “Capital Restructuring”.

CAH Class B Conversion. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, after giving effect to the Capital Restructuring and the redemption rights of holders of common stock of CAH (i) each issued and outstanding share of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of CAH shall be automatically converted into one share of CAH common stock, in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of CAH (such automatic conversion, the “CAH Class B Conversion”).

The Merger

196

share of CAH common stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and extinguished in exchange for one LMDX common share. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger, each outstanding CAH public warrant to purchase shares of CAH common stock, but excluding, for avoidance of doubt, the 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants held by the sponsor, will automatically become a LMDX new warrant to purchase one LMDX common share.

In addition, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, the sponsor will exchange all 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants for 405,000 LMDX common shares. In the event that a certain percentage of the shares of CAH common stock are redeemed, the sponsor will agree to forfeit a corresponding percentage of its shares that would have otherwise converted into LMDX common shares.

2.	Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). CAH has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Merger.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Merger as if it occurred on December 31, 2020 and is adjusted to give effect to CAH’s IPO (which occurred subsequently in January 2021). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Merger as if it occurred on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Merger are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that CAH believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible that the difference may be material. CAH believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Merger based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Merger. CAH and LumiraDx have not had any historical relationship prior to the Merger. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents two redemption scenarios as follows:

•

Assuming no Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no CAH Public Stockholders exercise their rights to redeem any of their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, and thus the full amount held in the Trust Account as of Closing is available for the Merger.

•

Assuming maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that all CAH stockholders holding 10,679,773 shares of CAH common stock will exercise their redemption rights for $106.8 million of

197

funds in CAH’s trust account. Under CAH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Merger may be consummated only if CAH has at least $5.0 million of net tangible assets after giving effect to all holders of public shares that properly demand redemption of their shares for cash. However, LumiraDx is not required to consummate the Merger unless there is at least $65.0 million of funds in CAH’s trust account, prior to payment of any unpaid or contingent liabilities, deferred underwriting fees or transaction costs of any of the parties.

This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes have been derived from and should be read in conjunction with:

•

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Merger taken place on the date indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company.

3.	Accounting for the Merger

The Merger is accounted for as a recapitalization, pursuant to which the Merger will be treated as the equivalent of LumiraDx issuing stock for the net assets of CAH, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CAH will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Under this method of accounting, CAH is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on LumiraDx’s shareholders holding a majority of the voting power of the Company, LumiraDx’s operations comprising substantially the ongoing operations of the Company, LumiraDx’s designees comprising a majority of the governing body of the Company, and LumiraDx’s senior management comprising the senior management of the Company. As CAH does not meet the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3 (“Business Combinations”), the transaction will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 (“Share-based Payment”).

4.	Capitalization

The following summarizes the pro forma ownership of common stock of CAH following the Merger under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios:


	Scenario 1 Assuming No Redemptions					Scenario 2 Assuming Maximum Redemptions
Equity Capitalization Summary	Shares		%			Shares		%
LMDX Equity Holders		403,977,908		96.6	%		403,977,908		98.7	%
CAH Public Investor Shares		11,500,000		2.8	%		2,237,727		0.6	%

LUMIRADX’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In this section “we,” “us” and “our” refer to LumiraDx. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the section titled “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The following discussion is based on our financial information prepared in accordance with the IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, which may differ in material respects from generally accepted accounting principles in other jurisdictions, including U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. This discussion and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors.” References to the number of shares or options issued by LumiraDx in this section shall be to the number of shares or options issued as at December 31, 2020 and, except for earnings per share or otherwise stated herein, have not been adjusted to reflect any subdivision or other form of consolidation of LumiraDx’s share capital following December 31, 2020 (including the 220:1 subdivision effected by the Company on February, 1 2021 and the Subdivision to be effected pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement).

Overview

We are initially focused on the development of tests for several of the most common conditions diagnosed or managed in community-based healthcare settings. For many of the tests we commercialize, or plan to commercialize, there are no existing high performance POC alternatives. Our initial authorized tests and those under development are designed to address unmet diagnostic needs in the fields of infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and coagulation disorders. To date, we have developed and launched five diagnostic tests for use with our Instrument: our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test commercially available under (i) EUA in the United States which authorizes the emergency use of the test during the period in which an emergency declaration remains in effect, (ii) CE Mark in the European Economic Area (iii) approvals in Japan and Brazil, and (iv) ability to sell in Africa and elsewhere based on such approvals, as well as our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test, SARS-CoV-2 antigen pool test, our INR test, and our D-Dimer test, all of which are CE Marked.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting acute need for timely diagnostic information, we have developed our SARS-CoV-2 antigen and SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests for use in community-based healthcare settings. Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen and SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests have demonstrated highly accurate results within minutes on our Instrument. We have obtained an EUA and CE Mark for our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test. We have commenced commercial sales of our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test in Europe, Japan, Brazil and the United States to customers, including NHS and CVS and have commenced shipment of Instruments to Africa as part of our collaboration with BMGF and CVS.

As of March 31, 2021, we have shipped more than 13,000 Instruments with over 800 customers across more than 60 countries and have more than 1,200 staff across the globe. Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has been authorized

205

by FDA under an EUA only for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein and has not been authorized for use to detect any other viruses or pathogens. In addition, the CE Mark process is a self-certification process where we self-declare as a manufacturer that we have checked the product meets European Economic Area safety, health and environmental requirements. Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has not been cleared or approved by FDA or any other regulatory body, and therefore we cannot market such test in the U.S. following the termination of an emergency declaration. We have submitted an EUA request to FDA and obtained CE Mark for our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test.

In laboratory and clinical studies, our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test demonstrated a very low Limit of Detection, or LOD, of 32 TCID50 per mL and high sensitivity and specificity within a detection window of 12 days from onset of symptoms and delivered results within 12 minutes or less. Our SARS-CoV-2 antibody test demonstrated 100% sensitivity in fingerstick blood samples collected more than eight days post PCR and results delivered within 11 minutes. We believe that offering our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test and SARS-CoV-2 antibody test on a single Platform with superior performance over a wide detection time has the potential to greatly improve the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection and infectivity, enable large-scale population monitoring and facilitate management of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test is currently being used and implemented in various testing programs across the U.S., U.K. and other European countries, Japan, Brazil, Africa and elsewhere, including in accident and emergency departments, care homes, retail pharmacies and other primary care settings. Even with the start of the roll out of COVID-19 vaccines, we expect there to be continued need for diagnostic testing. In addition, in the professional POC settings where our Platform is placed, customers are looking to implement comprehensive POC testing within their institutions leveraging both (i) our broad menu as well as (ii) our quality, compliance and data management infrastructure.

We also see significant opportunity in the low complexity mass screening or home COVID-19 testing market. Therefore, based on the same chemistry and test strip design as our SARS-CoV-2 antigen test on our Platform, we have started development of our Amira System, which we are designing as a high-sensitivity mass screening and home testing system for COVID-19. We plan to manufacture and distribute our Amira System at a price and volume that enables mass testing required to support a safe, normal and open economy, subject to successful completion of development and regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance. As planned, our Amira System will consist of (i) a small, battery operated, disposable device, (ii) the Amira COVID-19 test and (iii) a phone/tablet application for test management and reporting. Subject to completion of product development, regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance for professional and home use, market demand and manufacturing scale-up of the Amira System, we currently expect a manufacturing capacity of 10 million tests per day by the end of June 2021 and expect multiples of 10 million tests per day by the end of 2021 for our Amira System. We anticipate the retail price of our Amira System and Amira COVID-19 test to be between $2.00-$4.00 per test, significantly lower than many existing COVID-19 tests currently on the market as well as the equivalent tests on our Instrument. For very high volume purchases and shipments to middle and low income countries, or LMICs, we expect the price to be lower. We currently have a prototype Amira System including strips, device and patient application. We expect to move to design freeze at system level shortly. We are simultaneously tooling up high volume manufacturing lines, for the strip and instrument, while we progress through design freeze and the V&V phase.

206

On the LumiraDx Platform, we currently have a pipeline of more than 30 tests in various stages of development for community-based healthcare settings and plan to launch additional tests, subject to successful development and regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance. Our key tests under development include: Flu A/B + SARS-CoV-2 antigen; D-Dimer for cardiovascular disease and coagulation disorders; high sensitivity troponin I for cardiovascular disease; CRP for infectious disease; and HbA1c for diabetes. Our tests are subject to extensive regulatory requirements and we seek to obtain regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance on a test-by-test basis. We are focused on commercializing our tests on pace with receipt of the requisite regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance and any delays in commercialization of our tests or decreases in the expected market demand for our tests could adversely impact our operations and financial results. We have also entered into R&D collaborations with well-established diagnostic companies that have market-leading assays and capabilities in specific conditions to further accelerate the expansion of the test menu for our Platform. See the section titled “Business of LumiraDx—Research and Development” beginning on page 168 for additional details on our R&D collaboration agreements. Additionally, our R&D team is focused on continuous enhancement of our disruptive technologies.

Our proprietary microfluidic test strip is designed to accommodate all of our assays and sample types in a single- design architecture. We can manufacture our test strips at large scale and low cost on our proprietary manufacturing system. We believe our scalable manufacturing process provides us with a sustainable cost position that allows us to provide cost-efficient diagnostic solutions to the POC market. It also enables us to expand into attractive geographies and alternative healthcare settings where high quality POC testing has previously not been feasible.

We manufacture our test strips on highly automated manufacturing equipment designed specifically to meet high volume demand at a low cost. All of our test strips are manufactured on a common platform using a high volume, web-based manufacturing process that allows the production of multiple test strip sizes and designs. Utilizing a common platform allows us to leverage volume and have efficient manufacturing costs and provides flexibility to respond more rapidly to changing market demands across our product portfolio.

As of December 31, 2020, we have raised $902.6 million through the issuance of debt and equity securities and from our partners since inception. We have primarily deployed this capital to develop and commercialize our Platform and build manufacturing capabilities and a commercial organization that have the potential to deliver on our aspiration to be the global leader in POC diagnostics.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe there are several important factors that have impacted and that we expect will impact or will continue to impact our financial performance and results of operations, including:

•

COVID-19 test commercialization. We believe that our ability to sell POC COVID-19 tests during the pandemic will allow us to achieve significant revenue growth, establish strong brand awareness and

acceptance, and build an installed base of Instruments. The ability of healthcare providers and public health officials to have access to rapid and accurate COVID-19 tests is a key component to fighting the pandemic. Any delays in production of our COVID-19 tests or decreases in the market demand for COVID-19 testing, including as it relates to the recently authorized COVID-19 vaccines and any future vaccines, could adversely impact our operations and financial results.

•

Increase the installed base of our Instruments. Our Instrument runs a variety of diagnostic testing technologies utilizing our disposable test strips. We initially intend to focus our sales efforts on large healthcare systems, government organizations and national pharmacy chains that want to deploy comprehensive POC testing across their networks. We believe the successful large-scale deployment of an installed base of Instruments will provide revenue growth in both the near term and the long term through consumption of our current and future assays. We expect our installed base of Instruments to continue to grow as we increase penetration in our existing markets, expand into new markets and add new assays.

•

Commercialization of our current and future assays. We believe that delivering a broad menu of diagnostic tests for community-based healthcare on a single Platform is critical to transforming the POC market. We plan to launch ten tests in the next two years, subject to regulatory authorization or clearance. We have a growing pipeline of tests and panels for cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, diabetes, and coagulation disorders, designed to deliver lab-comparable performance. We believe that successful execution of this global market-driven menu strategy will lead to wide adoption of our Platform and high utilization of our diagnostic tests. Any delays in commercialization of our assays or decreases in the expected market demand for our assays could adversely impact our operations and financial results.

•

Highly automated, cost efficient manufacturing process. Our proprietary microfluidic test strip is capable of accommodating all of our currently contemplated POC assays within a single design architecture. We manufacture our test strips on highly automated manufacturing equipment designed and manufactured specifically to meet high volume demand at a low cost. We believe the automated manufacturing process of our test strips provides an industry leading cost position. In order to meet the anticipated demand for our Platform, we will need to continue to add manufacturing capacity. This will require continued investments, including the purchase of manufacturing equipment, the lease or purchase of new facilities, leasehold and building improvements to our existing and future facilities, and hiring of new personnel.

•

Investment in regulatory approvals, authorizations and clinical trials. We will incur increased costs to conduct clinical trials and to obtain regulatory approvals, authorizations or clearances as we commercialize our products across global markets. Clinical trials demonstrating the acceptable performance of our products may be required in order to obtain regulatory approvals or clearances. Additional regulatory approvals, authorizations or clearances will impact our ability to sell both our Instruments and test strips in various geographies. Any delays in regulatory approvals, authorizations or clearances of our tests or a lack of strong clinical trial evidence for the performance of our tests could adversely impact our operations and financial results.

•

Investment in global expansion. We intend to continue to expand the availability of our Platform on a global basis. We intend to establish subsidiaries in additional countries, where appropriate, and hire additional resources in sales, marketing and administration in order to develop the market for our products, engage in sales activities and establish other commercial capabilities to serve the needs our customers. If our investment in our global expansion does not generate expected revenue growth, then our operations and financial results could be adversely impacted.

While each of these areas present significant opportunities for us, they also pose significant risks and challenges that we must address. See the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17 for more information.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We expect to continue to derive substantially all our revenue from sales of our Platform, which includes sales of our Instrument, test strips and other related products and services. Such sales may have multiple performance obligations under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or IFRS 15; therefore, we may recognize revenue associated with a single sale of our Platform both at a point in time and over time. We recognize revenue from the initial sale of the Instrument, test strips and other related products separate from the sale of our connectivity solutions and other services under IFRS 15.

Our Platform will also be made available to customers under operating lease arrangements. Revenue from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term or, when lease revenue is entirely variable and subject to subsequent reagent sales, as the performance obligation to deliver reagents is satisfied.

We allocate revenue between products and services based on the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

Products. During 2019, our instrument and consumable revenue was primarily generated by the resale and distribution of third party medical diagnostic products not related to our Platform. These revenues relate to sales organizations whose operations were acquired by us in anticipation of distributing our proprietary products.

During 2020, we derived a significant portion of our product revenue from the sale of our Instrument, test strips and other related products. We sell or lease our products directly to users, including healthcare systems, government organizations, national pharmacy chains, diagnostic labs, hospitals and other healthcare providers. In addition, we sell the Instrument, test strips and other related products through wholesalers and distributors. We sell, place free of charge and rent Instruments to customers depending on the needs of the customer and market profile.

Services. We expect to derive substantially all our service revenue from revenue allocated from the sale of our Platform to our connectivity solutions, such as Connect Manager and EHR Connect. These services allow customers to manage their Instruments and to analyze diagnostic data, provide decision support tools and enforce quality control policies. During 2019, we did not recognize any service revenue related to sales of our Platform, and in 2020, less than 1% of our service revenue was derived from sales of our Platform. During 2019 and 2020, the majority of our service revenue related to maintenance on historical software licenses, access to hosted cloud offerings, training, support and other services related to products.

We intend to seek, in the near term, regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance for multiple diagnostic assays on our Platform. Assuming we receive regulatory approvals, authorization or clearances, we expect the revenue from sales of our Instrument, test strips and other related products and services to increase significantly.

Costs of Sales and Operating Expenses

Cost of sales. Cost of sales generally consists of the cost of (i) materials and direct labor, including bonus and benefits, (ii) equipment and infrastructure expenses associated with manufacturing and packaging our Platform products, (iii) third party products, (iv) warehousing, handling and shipping costs and (v) the provision of software support and services. Equipment and infrastructure expenses include maintenance and depreciation of manufacturing equipment, facilities costs and amortization of leasehold improvements and of acquired technology.

We expect cost of sales to generally increase in line with the increase in the number of Platform products we sell.

Research and development expense. Research and development expense consists of costs incurred to develop our Platform, and includes salaries and benefits, equipment and supplies used in research and development laboratory

209

work, infrastructure expenses, including allocated facility occupancy and information technology costs, contract services, clinical trials and other outside costs, and costs to develop our technology and add additional assays to our Platform. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

We expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase as we continue to develop additional assays for our Platform and conduct our ongoing and new clinical trials. These expenses may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses incurred within a period.

Selling, marketing and administrative expense. Our selling, marketing and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred and include costs associated with our sales organization, including our direct sales force and sales management, client services, marketing, executive, accounting and finance, legal and human resources functions. These expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits, travel and stock-based compensation, as well as marketing and educational activities and allocated overhead expenses.

We expect our selling, marketing and administrative expenses to increase as we expand our sales force and increase our marketing activities to drive adoption of our Platform. We also expect that our administrative expenses will continue to increase as we increase our headcount and as we incur costs associated with operating as a public company after this transaction, including expenses related to legal, accounting, regulatory, maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance premiums, and investor relations. While we expect these costs to increase in absolute dollars, we expect them to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the long term, though they may fluctuate as a percentage from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.

Finance Income

Finance income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and net foreign currency exchange gains. Our interest income has not been significant to date, but we expect it to increase as we invest surplus cash from this transaction in short term, fixed income investments until those proceeds are fully deployed. Net foreign currency exchange gains relate to transactions and asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily related to our U.K. operations denominated in British pound sterling. We expect our foreign currency gains and losses to continue to fluctuate in the future due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Finance Expense

Finance expense consists primarily of cash and non-cash interest on debt obligations, dividends on our series A and B preferred shares, changes in fair value of our financial liabilities designated as fair value through profit and loss and net foreign currency exchange losses. Interest expense includes cash interest expense on outstanding debt, as well as non-cash accretion of debt issuance costs and debt proceeds classified as equity under IFRS. Dividends on the preferred shares accrue cumulatively at an 8% annual rate. All our outstanding LMDX series A preferred shares will be automatically converted into LMDX ordinary shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring and all our outstanding LMDX series B preferred shares will be automatically converted into LMDX common shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring and will not result in cash settlement of the accrued dividends. Our 10% loan notes and LMDX series B preferred shares have been designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. At each reporting date, these liabilities are re-measured and any increase in liability is recorded as a finance expense. Net foreign currency exchange losses relate to transactions and asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily related to our U.K. operations denominated in U.K. pound sterling. We expect our finance expense to continue to fluctuate as we manage our debt obligations, including the conversion of convertible debt as part of this offering, and due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

210

Benefit from Income Taxes

Benefit from income taxes is primarily related to a U.K. tax credit on qualifying research and development expenses. We expect the tax credit to increase in line with the increase in research and development expenses provided we continue to be eligible.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. At December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $607.7 million. We expect to incur additional operating losses in the near future and our operating expenses will increase as we continue to expand our sales organization, increase our marketing efforts to drive market adoption of our Platform, and invest in the development of new product offerings from our research and development activities. If demand for our Platform increases, we anticipate that our capital expenditure requirements will also increase in order to build additional capacity to meet this demand. Moreover, following the completion of the Merger, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including expenses related to legal, accounting and financial reporting and regulatory matters; maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance premiums, and investor relations.

The timing and amount of our cost of sales and operating expenditures will depend largely on:

•

the cost of purchasing materials to manufacture our products and to maintain sufficient inventory to meet demand;

•

the cost of expanding our manufacturing capacity;

•

the cost of expanding sales, marketing and distribution capabilities in new and existing sales regions in which we may receive marketing approval, authorization, certification or clearance;

•

the scope and results of our current and planned research and development activities;

•

the outcome, timing and cost of meeting regulatory requirements to commercialize our products in global markets;

•

the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights covering our product candidates, including any such patent claims and intellectual property rights that we have licensed under our existing license agreements;

•

our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the cost of defending intellectual property disputes, including patent infringement actions brought by third parties against us or our Platform and its components;

214

•

the terms of our existing research and development and commercialization arrangements with third parties, including any minimum commitments in our contractual arrangements with such parties;

•

our ability to establish and maintain additional such arrangements on favorable terms and whether and to what extent we retain development or commercialization responsibilities under any new licensing, collaboration, partnership or similar arrangement;

•

our need and ability to hire additional management, scientific, medical, accounting and financial reporting and other personnel to scale our company;

•

the costs to operate as a public company, including the need to implement additional financial and reporting systems and other internal systems and infrastructure for our business;

•

market acceptance of our product; and

•

the effect of competing technological and market developments, including other products that may compete with our Platform.

Through December 31, 2020, we have funded our operations primarily from the issuance of equity securities, convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and debt securities, as well as from revenue from sales of our existing products and services. As of December 31, 2020, we have raised $886.3 million through the issuance of debt and equity securities and from our partners since inception.

In 2020, we secured commitments from investors in our 10% notes totaling $148.9 million and in July 2020, we called and received $74.3 million from investors. The remaining $74.6 million of commitments was available for drawdown until October 31, 2020 but we elected not to call the outstanding amount. A further $1.0 million worth of 10% Notes were issued in November 2020 bringing the total amount of 10% Notes in issue to $75.3 million.

In November 2020, we raised $164.5 million from investors by issuing 33,008 LMDX series B preferred shares at an issue price of $5,000, or the second 2020 funding round. The LMDX series B preferred shares are automatically convertible into LMDX common shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring.

In March 2021, LumiraDx Investment Limited, one of our subsidiaries, entered into a senior secured term loan (as amended from time to time), or the Senior Secured Loan, with BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP and BPCR Limited Partnership, as lenders and BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent, or collectively, Pharmakon. We have borrowed $300 million under the Senior Secured Loan, part of which was used to prepay the senior secured term loan originally dated as of October 6, 2020 (as amended on October 16, 2020 and as further ameneded on January 15, 2021) between LumiraDx Group Limited (LumiraDx Group ), one of our subsidiaries, and Silicon Valley Bank, as lender and Jefferies Finance LLC, or Jefferies, as lender and administrative and collateral agent pursuant to which Jefferies originally made available to LumiraDx Group a $100,000,000 senior secured term loan facility and, pursuant to an incremental term loan notice dated as of January 15 2021, Silicon Valley Bank had provided an incremental term loan facility of an additional $40,000,000. The Senior Secured Loan is subject to an interest rate of 8.0% per annum payable in quarterly cash installments. The Senior Secured Loan matures on March 29, 2024.

We have partnered with BMGF to help them achieve certain key objectives and have received a total of $46.0 million in support from them through a combination of equity, grants and loans. Our $8.0 million grant agreement with BMGF requires us to return any funds not utilized on qualifying expenses by December 31, 2020. Due to the company’s dedication of resources to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company and BMGF have reached an agreement for an extension of the grant period to October 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, we had available $6.3 million in grant funds that had not been utilized.

As of December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $158.7 million. Based on our current business plan, we believe that the net proceeds from the Merger, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, will

215

be sufficient to enable us to fund our operations and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. To the extent revenue from our Platform grows, we expect our accounts receivable and inventory balances to increase. Any increase in accounts receivable and inventory may not be completely offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which could result in greater working capital requirements. The forecast of our capital requirements is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

If our available cash balances and anticipated cash flow from operations, combined with net proceeds of $260.0 million from entering into the 2021 Senior Secured Loan and from this Merger are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek additional capital.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate sufficient product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through the proceeds of this Merger and, as needed, additional equity and debt financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest may be materially diluted, and the terms of such securities could include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common shareholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, creating liens, redeeming shares or declaring dividends. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we would be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2019, operating activities used $91.8 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of $133.1 million, excluding $30.0 million provided by non-cash charges and offset by $11.3 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of a $13.3 million increase in trade payables and other liabilities and a $6.4 million decrease in trade and other receivables, partially offset by a $8.4 million increase in inventories. The increase in trade payable and other liabilities was primarily due to increases in our research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses due to the growth in our business as well as the timing of vendor invoicing and payments. The decrease in trade receivables and other receivables is due to a decrease in revenue as well as timing of collections from customers. The increase in inventory is a result of building inventory of our Platform products in anticipation of future sales.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, operating activities used $149.3 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of $241.0 million, excluding $164.5 million in non-cash charges and by $61.5 million used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of a $89.2 million increase in trade and other receivables and a $73.3 million increase in inventories, partially offset by a $101.0 million increase in trade payables and other liabilities The increase in trade payable and other liabilities was primarily due to increases in our inventories and operating expenses due to the growth in our business as well as the timing of vendor invoicing and payments. The increase in trade receivables and other receivables is due to an increase in revenue as well as timing of collections from customers.

Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $11.3 million, primarily consisting of $10.6 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment, $0.6 million in cash paid for business acquisitions, net of cash received and $0.1 million in purchases of intangible assets. Purchases of property, plant and equipment were primarily related to our continued investment in facilities and equipment to support the production of our Platform consumables. The cash paid for business acquisitions related to our purchase of SureSensors Ltd, a specialty industrial printer.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $64.4 million, consisting solely of $64.4 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchases of property, plant and equipment were primarily related to facilities and equipment for the production of our Platform consumables.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $70.7 million, primarily consisting of net proceeds of $71.9 million from our issuance of 5% notes, net proceeds of $37.8 million of our senior secured loan and $18.0 million from our unsecured loan, partially offset by debt payments of $32.0 million for our 2016 notes, $15.0 million for our senior secured notes and $2.0 million for a $4.0 million loan note, or the acquisition note, issued as part of our acquisition of certain business assets of a technology business, $3.8 million of net interest payments, $2.0 million in share repurchases and $1.9 million of lease liability payments.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $236.6 million, primarily consisting of net proceeds of $162.4 million from the issuance of our LMDX series B preferred shares, net proceeds of $62.4 million from entering into the Jefferies and SVB Senior Secured Loan and $70.9 million in net proceeds from the issuance of the 10% Notes. These increases were offset by $40.4 million in repayments on the Jefferies and SVB Senior Secured Loan, $12.1 million in net interest payments, $3.6 million in costs related to the early extinguishment of the Jefferies and SVB Senior Secured Loan and $3.1 million in lease payments.

10% Secured Fixed Rate Loan Notes

In October 2016, we issued an aggregate of $32.0 million secured fixed rate loan notes, or the 2016 notes, in a private placement. The 2016 notes were secured generally by all of our assets. The 2016 notes were repayable in October 2019 and carried a base interest rate of 10% compounded daily, paid quarterly. In conjunction with the issuance of the 2016 notes we also issued the lender warrants to purchase 13,067 LMDX ordinary shares at an exercise price of $611.63 per LMDX ordinary share. In October 2019, we settled the balance of the 2016 notes with a payment on maturity of $32.0 million.

Acquisition Note

In 2016, we issued a $4.0 million acquisition note, or the acquisition note, as part of our acquisition of certain assets of a technology business. The acquisition note was secured by the registered intellectual property of the business acquired by us. In October 2018, the lender converted $1.0 million of the outstanding principal balance

217

of the acquisition note into ordinary shares in accordance with the terms of the note. In April 2019, the lender converted an additional $1.0 million of the outstanding principal balance into ordinary shares in accordance with the terms of the acquisition note. The remaining balance of the acquisition note was settled in cash in March 2019.

Senior Secured Notes

In February 2017, LumiraDx Investment Limited, one of our subsidiaries, issued an aggregate of $15.0 million of senior secured notes, or the senior secured notes. The senior secured notes were secured generally by all of our assets and were senior to the 10% notes. The senior secured notes were repayable in February 2022 and carried a base interest rate of the sum of (i) the greater of (a) LIBOR, or (b) 1%, and (ii) 7.75%. In September 2019, LumiraDx Investment Limited agreed to settle in cash the senior secured notes.

12% Unsecured Subordinated Loan Notes

In February 2018, we issued a call notice to a group of investors that had accepted our offer to subscribe to up to $76.7 million of our 12% unsecured subordinated loan notes, or the 12% notes. The offer permitted us to call a portion of the 12% notes to be funded during 2018. In February 2018, we issued a call notice for $38.3 million to be funded by the subscribing investors with a maturity date in February 2019. As part of the offer, we agreed to issue 15,461 ordinary shares and to pay $0.8 million in cash as a commitment fee to the investors for their acceptance of the offer.

In August 2018, we received approval from noteholders to prepay the 12% notes. We agreed to pay the full interest due on the 12% notes through to the original maturity date. We converted $35.4 million of principal and $4.3 million of interest into 31,164 LMDX series A preferred shares. Additionally, we paid $2.9 million of principal and $0.4 million of interest in cash to noteholders that elected not to convert the 12% notes into LMDX series A preferred shares.

Unsecured Loan

In October 2019, we issued an unsecured loan in the amount of $18.0 million to BMGF, or the unsecured loan. The terms of the loan include restrictions on the use of the proceeds for specific programs and commitments to provide access to our future products to support the foundation’s charitable purposes. The unsecured loan matures in October 2024 and carries an interest rate of 2% per annum payable in quarterly installments.

11.5% Loan Notes

In September 2019, LumiraDx Investment Limited, our subsidiary, issued senior loans in the amount of $40.0 million with an interest rate of 11.5% per annum payable in quarterly installments, or the 11.5% notes. The 11.5% notes were secured generally by all of our assets and were due to mature in September 2023. In conjunction with the 11.5% loan notes, we also issued the lenders 2,284 warrants to purchase LMDX ordinary shares at an exercise price of $1,459.89 per LMDX ordinary share. The 11.5% notes were prepaid in full in October 2020 and no further amounts can be drawn down from Kennedy Lewis and the other lenders in connection with the 11.5% notes.

5% Convertible Notes

In October and December 2019, we issued an aggregate of $75.2 million 5% unsecured subordinated convertible loan notes, or the 5% notes. The 5% notes have a five-year maturity from their date of issuance and carry an interest rate of 5% per annum, paid semi-annually. The 5% notes will automatically convert into LMDX common shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring.

218

10% Convertible Notes

In July and November 2020, we issued an aggregate of $75.3 million 10% unsecured subordinated convertible loan notes, or the 10% notes. The 10% notes are due 360 days from the relevant date of issuance and accrue interest at 10% payable at the same time as repayment of the principal (unless the 10% notes are converted in accordance with their terms). The 10% notes will automatically convert into LMDX common shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring.

2020 Senior Secured Loan

In October 2020, LumiraDx Group Limited, one of our subsidiaries entered into a senior secured term loan with Jefferies Finance LLC, or Jefferies, as lender and administrative and collateral agent pursuant to which Jefferies originally made available to LumiraDx Group Limited a $100,000,000 senior secured term loan facility. Pursuant to an incremental term loan notice dated as of January 15, 2021, Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, had provided an incremental term loan facility of an additional $40,000,000, or the SVB Tranche. The Jefferies and SVB Senior Secured Loan was secured generally by all of our assets and was originally due to mature in October 2022. In March 2021, the Jefferies and SVB Senior Secured Loan was repaid and no further amounts can be drawn down from Jefferies or SVB in connection with the Jefferies and SVB Senior Secured Loan. In connection with the Jefferies and SVB Senior Secured Loan, on November 6, 2020 we issued to Jefferies the Jefferies warrants to purchase up to 1,000 LMDX common shares at an exercise price equal to $4,644.969 per LMDX common share. In connection with the SVB Tranche, we issued to SVB the SVB warrants to purchase up to 400 LMDX common shares at an exercise price equal to $4,644.969 per LMDX common share.

2021 Senior Secured Loan

In March 2021, LumiraDx Investment Limited, one of our subsidiaries, entered into a senior secured term loan (as amended from time to time), or the 2021 Senior Secured Loan, with BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP and BPCR Limited Partnership, as lenders and BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent, or collectively, Pharmakon. We have borrowed $300 million under the 2021 Senior Secured Loan, part of which was used to prepay the 2020 Senior Secured Loan. The 2021 Senior Secured Loan is subject to an interest rate of 8.0% per annum payable in quarterly cash installments. The 2021 Senior Secured Loan matures on March 29, 2024. The 2021 Senior Secured Loan has been guaranteed and secured by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The 2021 Senior Secured Loan contains various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions without the prior consent of Pharmakon, including:

•

making certain restricted payments, including paying dividends on, or repurchasing or making distributions with respect to, our shares subject to certain exceptions;

•

selling, transferring, leasing or disposing of certain assets;

•

encumbering or permitting liens on certain assets;

•

incurring certain indebtedness; and

•

entering into certain transactions with affiliates.

The 2021 Senior Secured Loan also includes certain financial covenants which require:

•

a minimum liquidity level to be maintained which is tested on a monthly basis; and

•

a minimum net sales threshold to be met on a trailing twelve-month net sales basis.

Upon the occurrence of a change in control, the 2021 Senior Secured Loan also requires mandatory prepayment of amounts outstanding thereunder. Such change in control may involve one of (i) (A) prior to an IPO, a person who is not a holder of the then-outstanding share capital of LumiraDx becoming the “beneficial owner”, directly or indirectly, of a majority of the share capital of LumiraDx or (B) following an IPO, the persons who are the direct or indirect shareholders of LumiraDx Limited as at March 23, 2021, cease to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 30% of the then-outstanding shares of LumiraDx, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the

219

consolidated assets of LumiraDx Investment Limited and its subsidiaries, (iii) LumiraDx ceasing to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity interests in LumiraDx Investment Limited or (iv) a merger or consolidation of one of LumiraDx, LumiraDx Group Limited or LumiraDx Investment Limited, as applicable, in which such entity is not the surviving entity.

A breach of any of the covenants under the 2021 Senior Secured Loan could result in a default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the 2021 Senior Secured Loan, Pharmakon could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. Upon the occurrence of insolvency and insolvency proceedings events of default in respect of our U.S. subsidiaries all amounts outstanding will automatically be immediately due and payable. If we are unable to repay those amounts, Pharmakon could proceed against the collateral granted to secure such indebtedness.

Accounts Receivable Facility

In April 2021, LumiraDx, Inc. and LumiraDx UK Ltd, two of our subsidiaries, entered into a commitment with Capital One for Capital One, as Administrative Agent and Lender, to provide an accounts receivable facility of initially $50 million with the potential to be upsized to a total of $100 million. The availability of such accounts receivable facility is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of a number of conditions set forth in the commitment letter (including negotiation and execution of long form documentation). It is proposed that the accounts receivable facility will be secured by first ranking security over certain assets of the LumiraDx group and second ranking security over certain other assets of the LumiraDx group and that the financing shall be subject to customary intercreditor arrangements to be entered into between Capital One and Pharmakon.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue is generated primarily from the sale of diagnostic products, including instruments and consumables. Our services revenue includes the maintenance on historical software licenses, access to hosted cloud offerings and training, support and other services related to our diagnostic products.

Revenue from the sale or lease of goods and services rendered are recognized when a promise in a customer contract (“performance obligation”) has been satisfied by transferring control of the promised goods and services to the customer. Control of a promised good or service refers to the ability to direct the use of, and to obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, those goods or services. Control is usually transferred upon shipment or upon receipt of goods by the customer, or as services are rendered, in accordance with the delivery and acceptance terms agreed with the customers. The amount of revenue to be recognized (“transaction price”) is based on the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for our goods and services, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as value added taxes or other taxes directly linked to sales. If a contract contains more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices.

The determination of the standalone selling price requires judgment. Our determination of the standalone selling price for each performance obligation varies based on the geography and customer type. Generally, the standalone selling prices are based on observable prices. When observable prices are not available, the standalone selling price for products and services and for determination of amounts allocated for lease consideration in contracts with customers is based on a cost-plus margin approach.

Instruments may be sold together with other goods such as test strips, reagents and other consumables as well as services under a single contract or under several contracts that are combined for revenue recognition purposes. Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of each of the performance obligations in the contract.

Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our sales transactions may consist of various performance obligations that are satisfied at different times. It requires judgment to determine when different obligations are satisfied, including whether enforceable commitments for further obligations exist and when they arise. Depending on the determination of the performance obligations and the point in time or period over which those obligations are fulfilled, this may result in all revenue being calculated at inception, and either being recognized at once or on contract completion, or spread over the term of a longer performance obligation.

In the accounting for contracts that contain promises to deliver more than one good or service, we have to determine how to allocate the total transaction price to the performance obligations of the contract. We allocate

221

the total transaction price of a customer contract to the distinct performance obligations under the contract based on their standalone selling prices. The best evidence of this is an observable price from standalone sales of the good or service to similarly situated customers. However, where standalone selling prices are not observable, it requires judgment to estimate the cost of satisfying a performance obligation and adding an appropriate margin to that good or service and to estimate the standalone selling price for the software using residual method.

Nonrecurring valuations

Our nonrecurring valuations are primarily associated with (i) the application of acquisition accounting and (ii) impairment assessments, both of which require that we make fair value determinations as of the applicable valuation date. In making these determinations, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts, including, but not limited to expected future cash flows, and discount rates, and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets. To assist us in making these fair value determinations, we may engage third party valuation specialists. Our estimates in this area impact, among other items, the amount of depreciation and amortization, impairment charges and income tax expense or credit that we report. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain. A significant portion of our long-lived assets were initially recorded through the application of acquisition accounting and all of our long-lived assets are subject to impairment assessments. For additional information, see Notes 11 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020.

We regularly review whether changes to estimated useful lives are required in order to accurately reflect the economic use of our intangible assets with finite lives.

Share-Based Payments

We operate equity-settled, share-based compensation plans under which we receive services or other consideration from employees and other unrelated parties for our equity instruments. The fair value of the services and consideration received in exchange for the grant of options is recognized as an expense and as a component of equity. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. The fair value of the share options was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model. No performance conditions were included in the fair value calculations.

Fair Value of Share Options

We estimate the fair value of each award on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black- Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility, the risk-free rate, expected life and the dividend yield. For expected volatility, we have made reference to historical volatility of several comparable companies in the same industry. The expected life is based on the longer of each tranche’s respective weighted-average vesting term or the expected term to a liquidity event. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the market yield of U.S. Treasury Bonds in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is based on our expected dividend policy over the contractual life of the options.

The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the share options granted are as follows:


	2019			2020
Grant date fair value ($)		1,016.18 to 1,134.25			1,634.31 to 3,861
Exercise price ($)		1,269.283 to 1,793.38			1,793.38 to 3,861
Volatility		40-45	%		35-40	%
Dividend yield		—			—
Expected life of option (years)		2.5-2.75			2-2.5
Annual risk free interest rate		1.8 - 2.6	%		0.2-1.6	%
Total fair value of options granted	$	2,930		$	6,716

222

These assumptions represent our best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment. As a result, if we use significantly different assumptions or estimates when valuing our options, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different.

Fair Value of LMDX Ordinary Shares

We utilize the fair value of LMDX ordinary shares when determining the fair value of financial instruments, including the 10% notes, and the LMDX series B preferred shares as well as determining the fair value of our ordinary shares underlying our LMDX options when performing the fair value calculations with the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Therefore, our board of directors has estimated the fair value of our LMDX ordinary shares at various dates, with input from management, considering the third-party valuations of ordinary shares. The valuations of our LMDX ordinary shares were performed using methodologies, approaches and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Practice Aid Series: Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, or the AICPA Practice Guide. In addition, our board of directors considered various objective and subjective factors, along with input from management and the independent third-party valuation firm, to determine the fair value of our LMDX ordinary shares, including: external market conditions affecting the industry, trends within the industry, the results of operations, financial position, status of our research and development efforts, our stage of development and business strategy, and the lack of an active public market for our LMDX ordinary shares, and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event such as an initial public offering, or IPO.

The valuations of our LMDX ordinary shares were prepared using an option pricing method, or OPM, and a probability-weighted expected return method, or PWERM. The PWERM is a scenario-based methodology that estimates the fair value of ordinary shares based upon an analysis of future values for the company, assuming various outcomes. The ordinary shares’ value is based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns considering each of the possible outcomes available, as well as the rights of each share class. The future value of the ordinary shares under each outcome is discounted back to the valuation date at an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate and probability weighted to arrive at an indication of value for the ordinary shares. The OPM treats ordinary shares and the LMDX series A preferred shares as call options on the total equity value of a company, with exercise prices based on the value thresholds at which the allocation among the various holders of a company’s securities changes. Under this method, the ordinary shares have value only if the funds available for distribution to shareholders exceeded the value of the preferred share liquidation preferences at the time of the liquidity event, such as a strategic sale or a merger. A discount for lack of marketability of the ordinary shares is then applied to arrive at an estimate of value for the ordinary shares.

In addition to considering the results of these third-party valuations, our board of directors considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our LMDX ordinary shares as of each grant date, including:

•

the prices at which we issued our LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX series A preferred shares and the superior rights and preferences of our LMDX series A preferred shares relative to our LMDX ordinary shares at the time of each grant;

•

the progress of our research and development programs;

•

our stage of development and our business strategy;

•

external market conditions affecting our industry and trends within the industry;

•

our financial position, including cash on hand, and our historical and forecasted performance and operating results;

•

the lack of an active public market for our LMDX ordinary shares, our LMDX series A preferred shares and LMDX series B preferred shares;

223

•

the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an IPO, in light of prevailing market conditions; and

•

the analysis of IPOs and the market performance of similar companies in our industry.

The assumptions underlying these valuations represented management’s best estimates, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if we had used significantly different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of our LMDX ordinary shares and our share-based payment expense could be materially different.

Once a public trading market for our LMDX common shares, into which our LMDX ordinary shares are convertible, has been established in connection with the completion of this offering, it will no longer be necessary for our board of directors to estimate the fair value of our LMDX ordinary shares in connection with our accounting for granted stock options and other such awards we may grant, as the fair value of our LMDX ordinary shares will be determined based on the quoted market price of our LMDX ordinary shares.

Product Reserves

We provide standard commercial warranties on our products. Separately, the we also periodically perform field service actions related to safety matters and other product campaigns. Pursuant to these warranties and field service actions, the we will repair or replace products that are defective in materials or workmanship. We accrue the estimated cost of both base warranty coverages and field service actions at the time of sale.

We maintain an allowance for excess or obsolete inventories. The allowance is based on a review of inventory materials on hand, which we compare with estimated future usage. In addition, we review our inventory and compare parts costs with current market value and write down any parts with costs in excess of current market value to net realizable value.

These estimates take into consideration historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends such as competitive pricing and new product introductions, estimated inventory levels, and the shelf life of products. As 2020 was the first year of significant sales of our diagnostic platform, we have limited history to make these estimates. If actual future results vary, these estimates may need to be adjusted, with an effect on sales and earnings in the period of the adjustment. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Emerging Growth Company and Foreign Private Issuer Status

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

•

a requirement to present only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required interim financial statements and correspondingly reduced Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations disclosure;

•

to the extent that we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, (i) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and (ii) exemptions from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, including golden parachute compensation;

•

an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and

•

an exemption from compliance with the requirement that the PCAOB has adopted regarding a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements.

224

We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC; or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these exemptions.

In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Further, even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company”, which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

We will also be considered a “foreign private issuer.” Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

•

the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Exchange Act;

•

the requirement to comply with Regulation FD, which requires selective disclosure of material information;

•

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, we have not had any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, we had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $139.4 million and $158.7 million, respectively, which comprise cash at bank and in-hand and deposits held at call with banks. We raise debt on a fixed-rate basis for notes in U.S. dollars. We manage risk to protect the net interest result while managing the overall cost of borrowing. A significant change in the market interest rates would not have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

225

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We are exposed to foreign exchange risk. The majority of our sales and purchase transactions are denominated in either U.S. dollars or U.K. pound sterling and as such, we are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations between these and other currencies. The exchange risk is managed by maintaining bank accounts denominated in those currencies. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, we recognized a foreign currency transaction gain of $9.7 million and $21.9 million, respectively. This gain primarily relates to unrealized and realized foreign currency exchange gains or losses as a result of transactions and asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented within finance income and finance expense in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020.

A 10% strengthening of the U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2020 would have had an impact of increasing the loss before tax for the period by $11.1 million on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the risk of loss that we would incur if operators and counterparties fail to fulfil their credit obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset. For banks and financial institutions, we maintain accounts with major international banks with “A” ratings. Credit risk relating to accounts receivable balances are managed on a case-by-case basis. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, we had trade receivables of $6.3 million and $83.9 million, respectively. New clients are analyzed before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The credit quality of the customer is assessed by analyzing its financial position, past experience and other factors. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. Management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with our financial liabilities that are settled in cash. Cash flow forecasting is performed in our operating entities and aggregated at a consolidated level. We monitor rolling forecasts of our liquidity requirements to ensure we have sufficient cash to meet operational needs. We may be reliant on our ability to raise additional investment capital from the issuance of both debt and equity securities to fund our business operating plans and future obligations.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of CAH and LumiraDx

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding CAH or its securities, the sponsor, the CAH founders, LumiraDx and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares of CAH common stock from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Merger Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of CAH shares or vote their shares in favor of the Merger Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the public shares outstanding vote in favor of the Merger and that CAH will have in excess of the required amount of Available Cash to consummate the Merger under the Merger Agreement, when it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and, the transfer to such investors or holders of CAH public shares or warrants owned by the sponsor or the CAH founders for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on CAH common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than fair market value and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements dealing with the above have been entered into by the sponsor, the CAH founders, LumiraDx or any of their respective affiliates. CAH will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Merger Proposal and charter proposals or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of CAH shares as of the record date by:

•

each person known by CAH to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding CAH shares;

•

each of CAH’s current executive officers and directors; and

•

all of CAH’s current executive officers and directors as a group.

Unless otherwise indicated, CAH believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the CAH warrants because such warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of the record date. The calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership is based on shares of CAH Class A common stock and shares of CAH Class B common stock outstanding as of the record date.

Unless otherwise noted, the business address of each of the following entities or individuals is c/o CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp., 99 Summer Street, Suite 200, Boston, MA 02110.

Transfers of CAH Founder Shares and CAH Private Placement Warrants

The CAH founder shares, CAH private placement warrants and any shares of Class A common stock issued upon redemption or exercise thereof are each subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to lock-up provisions in the letter agreement with CAH entered into by CAH’s initial stockholders. If the Merger is not consummated, those lock-up provisions provide that such securities are not transferable or salable (1) in the case of the CAH founder shares, until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of CAH’s initial business combination and (B) subsequent to CAH’s initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least

230

150 days after CAH’s initial Merger, or (y) the date on which CAH completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of CAH’s public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property, and (2) in the case of the CAH private placement warrants and the CAH common stock underlying such warrants, until 30 days after the completion of CAH’s initial business combination, except in each case (a) to CAH’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of CAH’s officers or directors, any members of CAH’s sponsor, or any affiliates of CAH’s sponsor, (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a business combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (f) in the event of CAH’s liquidation prior to its completion of the initial business combination; (g) by virtue of the laws of Delaware or CAH’s sponsor’s limited liability company agreement, as amended, upon dissolution of CAH’s sponsor; or (h) in the event of CAH’s completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of its public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to CAH’s completion of its initial business combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (e) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions and the other restrictions contained in the letter agreement. In the event the Merger is consummated, the Sponsor Agreement sets forth the terms of the lockup provisions and the conversion of the CAH private placement warrants, which are described below.

Sponsor Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the sponsor and the CAH founders entered into the Sponsor Agreement pursuant to which they have agreed to comply with the provisions of the Merger Agreement applicable to such persons as well as the covenants set forth in the Sponsor Agreement, including voting all shares of common stock of CAH owned of record by the sponsor and distributable to the CAH founders in favor of the Merger. The Sponsor Agreement provides that the LMDX common shares to be issued to such persons in connection with the Merger will be subject to, other than in certain limited exceptions as set out in the Sponsor Agreement and the Amended and Restated Articles, a one-year lock-up restriction. The Sponsor Agreement also provides that upon consummation of the Merger, the sponsor shall exchange the 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants for 405,000 LMDX common shares and such shares shall not be transferred, other than as provided for in the Sponsor Agreement and Amended and Restated Articles, until the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Sponsor Agreement also provides that in the event that more than fifty percent (50%) of the public shares are redeemed, an equal percentage of CAH founder shares that would have otherwise converted into LMDX common shares shall be forfeited and cancelled immediately prior to giving effect to the CAH Class B Conversion; provided that for the period from the Closing Date and up to December 31, 2021, LumiraDx, in its sole discretion, may elect to issue, on the same terms as provided for in the Merger Agreement, LMDX common shares in respect of some or all of such forfeited shares to the sponsor. See the section titled “Summary - Related Agreements - Sponsor Agreement” beginning on page 6.

Registration Rights Agreement

Certain of the existing LumiraDx security holders, the sponsor and the CAH founders will be granted certain registration rights, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement which will be entered into at or prior to Closing. See the section titled “Summary - Related Agreements - Registration Rights Agreement” beginning on page 7.

231

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

CAH Related Person Transactions

In October 2020, the sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,875,000 CAH founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. The number of CAH founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such CAH founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares upon completion of the CAH IPO. The CAH founder shares (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder.

The sponsor, and through the sponsor, the CAH founders, purchased an aggregate of 4,050,000 CAH private placement warrants for a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of CAH IPO. As such, the sponsor’s interest in the CAH IPO was valued at $4,050,000, based on the number of CAH private placement warrants purchased. Each CAH private placement warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein. The CAH private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until 30 days after the completion of the Merger.

Larry J. Neiterman, a director of CAH, and Tom Cibotti and Tim McMahon, each of whom is a managing member of CAH’s sponsor, each has an indirect economic interest in the CAH founder shares and CAH private placement warrants purchased by the sponsor as a result of his, her or its membership interest in the sponsor.

The sponsor, officers and directors, or any affiliate of the sponsor or officers will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on CAH’s behalf related to the Merger. We do not have a policy that prohibits the sponsor, executive officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, from negotiating for the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses by a target business. CAH’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the sponsor, officers, directors or its or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on CAH’s behalf.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Merger, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor or certain of CAH’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds on a non-interest bearing basis as may be required. If we complete an initial Merger, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Merger does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from CAH’s trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the CAH private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in CAH’s trust account.

CAH entered into indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors that require it to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to CAH, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

CAH and LumiraDx will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to securities held them, which is described under the section of this prospectus entitled “Summary—Related Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement” beginning on page 7.

Pursuant to the related party transactions policy, the audit committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving “related person transactions”, which are transactions between LumiraDx and related parties in which the related party has a direct or indirect material interest. For purposes of the policy, a related party will be defined as a director, executive officer, nominee for director, or greater than 5% beneficial owner of any class of LumiraDx voting securities, and their immediate family members.

DESCRIPTION OF LUMIRADX’S SECURITIES

A summary of the material provisions governing the affairs of LumiraDx immediately following the completion of the Merger is described below. This summary is not complete and should be read together with the Amended and Restated Articles, a copy of which is appended to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

LumiraDx is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability. The affairs of LumiraDx following the completion of the Merger are governed by its Amended and Restated Articles, the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands, or the Cayman Companies Act, and the common law of the Cayman Islands.

As of March 31, 2021, LumiraDx’s authorized share capital was US$10,290 divided into (1) 1,100,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0000045 per A ordinary share, or LMDX ordinary shares, (2) 1,100,000,000 common shares, par value $0.0000045 per common share, or LMDX common shares, (3) 55,000,000 LMDX series A preferred shares, par value $0.0000045 per LMDX series A preferred share, and (4) 8,800,000 LMDX series B preferred shares, par value $0.0000045 per LMDX series B preferred share. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there were 82,213,340 LMDX ordinary shares issued and outstanding, 46,797,960 LMDX series A preferred shares issued and outstanding, 7,261,760 LMDX series B preferred shares issued and outstanding and no LMDX common shares in issue. The par value of each of the LMDX ordinary shares, the LMDX common shares, the LMDX series A preferred shares and the LMDX series B preferred shares is stated in this “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” section to seven decimal places (i.e. $0.0000045). The full par value is the recurring figure $0.0000045454545. All of the issued and outstanding LMDX series A preferred shares will convert into 46,797,960 LMDX ordinary shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring. All of the issued and outstanding LMDX series B preferred shares will convert into 7,746,640 LMDX common shares immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Capital Restructuring. Following the completion of the Merger (and therefore the completion of the Capital Restructuring, including the Subdivision), LumiraDx’s authorized share capital will be $10.290 divided into (1) 2,888,343,328 LMDX ordinary shares with a par value (to seven decimal places) of $0.0000017 per LMDX ordinary share, (2) 2,888,343,328 LMDX common shares with a par value (to seven decimal places) of $0.0000017 per LMDX common share and (3) undesignated shares with a par value of such class or classes (however designated) and having such rights as the board of directors may determine in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles.

The Amended and Restated Articles will become effective upon completion of the Merger and will replace the LMDX Articles in its entirety. The following are summaries of material provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles, as they are expected to become effective upon the completion of the Merger, and the Cayman Companies Act insofar as they relate to the material terms of the LMDX ordinary shares and the LMDX common shares. Under the Amended and Restated Articles, the company’s name will continue to be LumiraDx Limited.

LumiraDx’s register of members will continue to be maintained by Ocorian Trust (Cayman) Limited.

LMDX Ordinary Shares and LMDX Common Shares

General

In accordance with the Amended and Restated Articles, the following summarizes the rights of the holders of the LMDX ordinary shares and the LMDX common shares:

•

all resolutions to be voted on by shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting or at an annual general meeting will be held by way of a poll;

•

each holder of LMDX ordinary shares is entitled to ten votes per LMDX ordinary share on matters to be voted on by shareholders;

238

•

each holder of LMDX common shares is entitled to one vote per LMDX common share on matters to be voted on by shareholders;

•

the holders of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares shall be entitled to receive notice of, attend, speak and vote by way of a poll at an extraordinary general meeting or at an annual general meeting (as if they were one class of shares);

•

the holders of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares shall be entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors, which shall be distributed pro rata (as if they were one class of shares) according to the number of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares held by the relevant holder and as recommended by the directors and declared by the shareholders of LumiraDx;

•

All of the issued and outstanding LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares are fully paid and non-assessable;

•

The LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares are issued in registered form, and are issued when registered in the register of members of LumiraDx;

•

LumiraDx’s board of directors may issue undesignated shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such shares without any further vote or action by LumiraDx’s shareholders; and

•

LumiraDx’s shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares. LumiraDx may not issue shares to bearer.

Dividends

The holders of the LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors of LumiraDx pro rata (equally as if they were one class of shares) according to the number of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares held. In addition, LumiraDx’s shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by the directors. Under the Cayman Companies Act, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either: (i) profits available for distribution; or (ii) share premium or contributed surplus, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Subject to any special rights attaching to or the terms of issue of any share, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares and shall be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amounts paid up on the shares during any part or parts of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid.

No dividend or other moneys payable by LumiraDx on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against LumiraDx, unless otherwise provided by the terms on which such shares were issued or the provisions of a separate agreement between the holder of that share and LumiraDx. Any dividend unclaimed after a period of six years from the date that such dividend became due for payment shall, be forfeited and shall revert to LumiraDx.

Any general meeting declaring a dividend may by ordinary resolution of the shareholders, upon the recommendation of the board of directors, direct payment or satisfaction of such dividend wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets other than cash, and in particular of paid up shares or debentures of any other company. The directors may, if authorized by ordinary resolution of shareholders, offer any holders of shares the right to elect to receive in lieu of a dividend an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up, subject to such exclusions as the board of directors may deem necessary or desirable.

No shareholder shall be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution in respect of any share held by him, her or it unless all calls or other sums payable by him, her or it in respect of that share have been paid.

239

Voting Rights

The voting rights attaching to the LMDX ordinary shares and the LMDX common shares are as follows:

•

At any general meeting (being extraordinary general meetings and annual general meetings) all resolutions put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided by way of a poll;

•

Every holder of a LMDX ordinary share who is present in person or by proxy shall have ten votes for each LMDX ordinary share of which he/she/it is the holder; and

•

every holder of a LMDX common share who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each LMDX common share of which he/she/it is the holder.

An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as approving a winding up of LumiraDx, a reduction in LumiraDx’s share capital or removing a director (other than a LMDX Founder Director) for cause. LumiraDx’s shareholders may effect certain changes by ordinary resolution, including increasing the amount of LumiraDx’s authorized share capital, consolidating and dividing all or any of the LumiraDx’s share capital into shares of larger amounts than existing shares and cancelling any authorized but unissued shares. Any resolution to remove an LMDX Founder Director requires the voting approval of the LMDX ordinary shares held by Ron Zwanziger, LumiraDx’s Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, and his affiliates

Restrictions on Voting

No shareholder shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting or at any separate class meeting in respect of any shares held by him, her or it unless all calls or other sums payable by him, her or it in respect of that share have been paid.

The board of directors may from time to time make calls upon the shareholders in respect of any money unpaid on their shares and each shareholder shall (subject to at least 14 clear days’ notice specifying the time or times and place of payment) pay at the time or times so specified the amount called on his, her or its shares.

Voluntary Conversion of LMDX Ordinary Shares

Each LMDX ordinary share is convertible at any time after the date that is 180 days from the Closing Date (or at such earlier time: (i) as approved by the board of directors due to exceptional circumstances; or (ii) if the Early Conversion Conditions (as defined below) have been satisfied) at the option of the holder into one LMDX common share.

Transfer of LMDX Ordinary Shares

Except as provided herein, no LMDX ordinary share may be transferred unless such LMDX ordinary share is first converted into an LMDX common share in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Articles. LMDX ordinary shares may be transferred, subject to certain conditions:

through a Permitted Transfer or a Mandatory Transfer (each, as described below);

ii.

pursuant to a bona fide third party offer to acquire control of LumiraDx;

iii.

pursuant to a court order as a result of divorce;

iv.

by way of a gift; or

by a corporate shareholder to any affiliate.

240

A transfer of LMDX ordinary shares through a Permitted Transfer or in accordance with (iv) and (v) above is permitted, provided that no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act is required as a result of the relevant transfer other than certain permitted filings.

These restrictions on transfers of LMDX ordinary shares do not prevent holders of LMDX ordinary shares from establishing a 10b5-1 plan, although sales made under that plan are subject to the restrictions stated above. Such establishment, together with (i)-(v) above, are referred to as the “Limited Circumstances.”

For purposes of the Amended and Restated Articles the following transfers of LMDX ordinary shares are “Permitted Transfers”:

•

transfers by one holder of LMDX ordinary shares to another holder of LMDX ordinary shares;

•

transfers to Privileged Relations (which, in general, includes shareholders and certain of their family members) (if being transferred by an employee) or to trusts established for the benefit of Privileged relations or charities and/or their nominees; and

•

transfer by a corporate shareholder to another member of its wholly owned group.

Transfer of LMDX Common Shares

Subject to the restrictions contained in the Amended and Restated Articles, the Nasdaq listing rules or any relevant securities laws and the restrictions imposed on the LMDX common shares issued: (i) upon the conversion of the LMDX series B preferred shares; or (ii) upon the conversion of the 5% notes and the 10% notes; or (iii) upon the exercise of the 2020 warrants, the Jefferies warrants, the SVB warrants, the Pharmakon warrants or any of the LMDX new warrants; or (iv) to the sponsor pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement, the LMDX common shares shall be freely transferrable (without restriction) and any holders may transfer all or any of his, her or its LMDX common shares by an instrument of transfer in any usual or common form or any other form approved by the board of directors.

Under the Amended and Restated Articles, holders of LMDX common shares which are issued: (i) upon the conversion of the LMDX series B preferred shares, (ii) upon the conversion of the 5% notes and the 10% notes, (iii) upon the exercise of the 2020 warrants, the Jefferies warrants, the SVB warrants, the Pharmakon warrants or any of the LMDX new warrants, are subject to a 180-day lock-up period prohibiting such holders, except:

in exceptional circumstances approved by the board of directors; or

in the Limited Circumstances described above (which for the purposes of the transfer of a LMDX common share only will also include any transfer in connection with the vesting or “cashless exercise” of any of the 2020 warrants, any of the Jefferies warrants, any of the SVB warrants or any of the Pharmakon warrants) to cover any exercise price payable therewith; or

if the following conditions, being the Early Conversion Conditions, are satisfied: (i) the date of transfer is no earlier than three months after the Closing Date (the “Early Restricted Period End Date”); (ii) the aggregate number of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares to be transferred by the relevant holder in the period between the Early Restricted Period End Date and the end of the lock-up period shall not exceed 10% of the relevant holder’s entire holding of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares as recorded in the register as at the date of the adoption of the Amended and Restated Articles; (iii) the relevant holder of the LMDX common shares is not Morningside or, as at the Closing Date, an executive officer or director of the Company; and (iv) the volume weighted average trading price of the LMDX common shares is at least $15.00 per LMDX common share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), for at least twenty (20) trading days (whether or not consecutive) in any consecutive thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading date immediately prior to the proposed date of transfer;

241

from selling, transferring, contracting to sell or otherwise disposing of (either directly or indirectly) any of these LMDX common shares for the 180-day period following the Closing Date. Thereafter, holders of such LMDX common shares are free to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of such LMDX common shares, subject to applicable law, including the restrictions set out in Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In addition, any LMDX common shares issued to the sponsor (other than LMDX common shares issued upon exercise of the LMDX new warrants) shall be subject to a one year lock-up restriction pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement.

Subject to the Amended and Restated Articles and the Nasdaq listing rules and any rights or restrictions for time being attached to any share, the registration of the transfer of shares may be suspended and LumiraDx’s register of members closed at such times and for such periods as the board of directors may from time to time determine, provided always that such registration of transfer shall not be suspended nor the register of members be closed for more than 30 calendar days in any year.

Restriction on further issuance of LMDX Ordinary Shares

The Amended and Restated Articles provide that except for the issuance of LMDX ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of rights outstanding at the date of adoption of the Amended and Restated Articles, such as under the Equity Plans or under the 2016 warrants or the 2019 warrants, no further LMDX ordinary shares can be issued.

Liquidation

On a winding up of LumiraDx, if the assets available for distribution among the holders of the LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus will be distributed among the holders of the LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares (equally as if they were one class of shares) on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares held by them. If LumiraDx’s assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by the holders of the LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares in proportion to the number of the LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares held by them.

The liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of LumiraDx’s shareholders and any other sanction required by the Cayman Companies Act, divide among the shareholders in species or in kind the whole or any part of the assets of LumiraDx, and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between LumiraDx’s shareholders or different classes of shareholders.

Because LumiraDx is an exempted company with “limited liability” registered under the Cayman Companies Act, the liability of LumiraDx’s shareholders is limited to the amount, if any, unpaid on the shares respectively held by them. The Amended and Restated Articles contain a declaration that the liability of LumiraDx’s shareholders is so limited.

Repurchase Rights

Any repurchase of shares by LumiraDx as may be agreed with the relevant shareholders shall be approved by the board of directors in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act and the Amended and Restated Articles, and LumiraDx may make a payment in respect of such repurchase in any manner authorized by the Companies Act and the Amended and Restated Articles, including out of capital. A payment out of capital by a Cayman Islands company is not lawful unless immediately following the date on which the payment out of capital is proposed to be made, the company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Only shares that are fully paid may be repurchased, and there must be at least one share remaining in issue following the repurchase.

242

Variations of Rights of Shares

If at any time LumiraDx’s share capital is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class of shares may be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths of the shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights will not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board of directors may issue undesignated shares without further action by the shareholders. See section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities - Comparison of Rights of CAH Stockholders and LumiraDx Shareholders - Directors’ Power to Issue Shares” beginning on page 253.

General Meetings of Shareholders

Shareholder’ meetings may be convened by a majority of the board of directors. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, LumiraDx is not required by the Cayman Companies Act to convene annual general meetings of its shareholders. However, the Amended and Restated Articles and LumiraDx’s corporate governance guidelines provide that in accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules in each year LumiraDx will hold an annual general meeting of shareholders. The annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by the board of directors in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles. All annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings will be chaired by the Chairman (as defined below) or a member of the board of directors.

The Cayman Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. The Amended and Restated Articles provide that upon the requisition of shareholders representing not less than one-third of the voting rights entitled to vote at general meetings, the board will convene an extraordinary general meeting and put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. However, shareholders may propose only ordinary resolutions (and not a special resolution) to be put to a vote at such meeting and shall have no right to propose resolutions with respect to the election, appointment or removal of directors or to amend the Amended and Restated Articles. The Amended and Restated Articles will provide no other right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings.

Advance notice of at least 21 clear days is required for the convening of the annual general meeting and 14 clear days’ notice for the convening of any extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders. All general meetings of shareholders shall occur at such time and place as determined by the directors and set forth in the notice for such meeting.

No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. At least two shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall be a quorum for all purposes.

Class Meetings

The provisions in the Amended and Restated Articles relating to extraordinary general meetings shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to every separate extraordinary general meeting of the holders of a class of shares.

Nomination, Election and Removal of Directors

Number

243

Appointment

The Amended and Restated Articles provide that persons standing for election as directors at a duly constituted general meeting with requisite quorum will be elected by an ordinary resolution of the LumiraDx shareholders, which requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast on the resolution by the shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at the meeting. Without prejudice to the power to appoint any person to be a director by shareholder resolution, the board of directors have the power to appoint any person to be a director (other than a LMDX Founder Director), either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing board of directors.

The Amended and Restated Articles further provide that the board of directors will be divided into three groups designated as the LMDX Founder Directors and the Class I and Class II directors. Each of the Class I and Class II directors shall serve staggered two-year terms. Upon the expiration of the term of either the Class I or the Class II directors, the directors in that class will be eligible to be re-elected for a new two-year-term at the annual general meeting of shareholders in the year in which their term expires. Directors assigned to Class I shall initially serve until the first annual general meeting of shareholders following the effectiveness date of the Amended and Restated Articles and directors assigned to Class II shall initially serve until the second annual general meeting of shareholders following the effectiveness date of the Amended and Restated Articles. Each term of a Class I or Class II director will continue until the election of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles. Any increase or decrease in the number of the Class I and Class II directors will be distributed among the two classes so as to make the two classes as nearly as equal in number as is reasonably practicable.

The LMDX Founder Directors will remain in office until an LMDX Founder Director resigns or otherwise ceases to be a director in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles. Any resolution to remove an LMDX Founder Director requires the voting approval of the LMDX ordinary shares held by Ron Zwanziger and his affiliates. The number of LMDX Founder Directors is three and will be comprised of LumiraDx’s co-founders, Ron Zwanziger, Dave Scott and Jerry McAleer. In the event an LMDX Founder Director retires or otherwise ceases to be a director in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles, the appointment of any replacement LMDX Founder Director will require the approval of Ron Zwanziger (for and on behalf of the LMDX Founder Directors).

Upon completion of the Merger:

•

the LMDX Founder Directors will be Ron Zwanziger, Dave Scott and Jerry McAleer;

•

the Class I directors will be Donald Berwick, George Neble and Lu Huang; and

•

the Class II directors will be Bruce Keogh, Lurene Joseph, Gerald Chan and Troyen Brennan.

Re-election/Removal

A director will be removed from office automatically if, among other things, the director (1) is prohibited from being a director by any applicable law; (2) dies or becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his or her creditors generally; (3) is found of unsound mind; (4) resigns his or her office by notice in writing to LumiraDx; and (5) save in the case of an LMDX Founder Director, that person has, for more than six consecutive months, been absent without permission of the directors from meetings of the board and the directors make a decision that that person’s office be vacated. In addition, any director, other than an LMDX Founder Director, may be removed by special resolution for cause. The notice of any meeting at which a resolution to remove a director shall be proposed or voted upon must contain a statement of the intention to remove that director and such notice must be served on that director not less than 10 business days before the meeting. Such director is entitled to attend the meeting and be heard on the motion for his or her removal.

244

Proceedings of Board of Directors

The Amended and Restated Articles provide that LumiraDx’s business is to be managed and conducted by the board of directors. The quorum necessary for the transaction of business of the directors is two eligible directors, provided that at least one director is an LMDX Founder Director.

In addition, the Amended and Restated Articles provide that the board of directors may from time to time at its discretion exercise all powers of LumiraDx to raise capital or borrow money, to mortgage or charge all or any part of the undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital and, subject to the Cayman Companies Act, issue debentures, bonds and other securities of LumiraDx, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of LumiraDx or of any third-party.

Chairman

Unless otherwise agreed by the holder(s) of the majority of the LMDX ordinary shares at the relevant time with the approval of the LMDX ordinary shares held by Ron Zwanziger and his affiliates, the chairman of the board of directors will be Ron Zwanziger, or the Chairman. The Chairman has a casting vote if the numbers of votes for and against any board resolution are equal.

Directors’ Interests

The directors may authorize, to the fullest extent permitted by Cayman Companies Act and the Nasdaq listing rules, any matter proposed to them which would otherwise result in a director infringing his duty to avoid a situation in which he has, or can have, a direct or indirect interest that conflicts, or possibly may conflict, with the interests of LumiraDx. A director shall not, save as otherwise agreed by him, be accountable to LumiraDx for any benefit which he derives from any matter authorized by the directors and any contract, transaction or arrangement relating thereto shall not be liable to be avoided on the grounds of any such benefit.

A director who is any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a proposed or existing transaction or arrangement with LumiraDx shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors. Provided it is permitted by Cayman Companies Act and the Nasdaq listing rules, and provided he has disclosed to the other directors the nature and extent of his interest, a director may be a party to, or otherwise directly or indirectly interested in any contract, arrangement or proposal with LumiraDx and may participate in the meeting on which the relevant resolution is being voted upon.

If a question arises at a meeting of the board of directors or of a board committee as to the right of a director to vote or be counted in the quorum, and such question is not resolved by his voluntarily agreeing to abstain from voting or not to be counted in the quorum, the question shall be determined by a majority of votes of the remaining directors present at the meeting or if there is an equality of votes, the Chairman shall have a second or casting vote and his ruling in relation to any director other than himself shall be final and conclusive except in a case where the nature or extent of the interest of the director concerned has not been fairly disclosed.

Directors’ Fees and Remuneration

Each of the directors shall be paid a fee at such rate as may from time to time be determined by the board of directors (or for the avoidance of doubt any duly authorized board committee). For more information regarding employment agreements with certain of executive officers, see the section titled “Director and Executive Officer Compensation—Compensation of Management Team and Directors” beginning on page 134.

Each director may be paid for reasonable expenses properly incurred in connection with their attendance at and returning from meetings of the board or board committees or general meetings or separate meetings of the holders of classes of shares or of debentures and shall be paid all expenses properly incurred by him or her in the conduct of the business of LumiraDx or in the discharge of his or her duties as a director.

245

Inspection of Books and Records

Holders of the LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares will have no general right under Cayman Companies Act to inspect or obtain copies of the list of shareholders of LumiraDx or any corporate records, provided that they are entitled to a copy of the Amended and Restated Articles. Copies of annual financial statements will also be provided to LumiraDx’s registered office service provider in the Cayman Islands to allow for compliance with certain obligations under Cayman law.

Changes in Capital

The shareholders of LumiraDx may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

•

increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe;

•

consolidate and divide all or any of the share capital into shares of a larger amount than the existing shares of LumiraDx;

•

sub-divide LumiraDx’s existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount, provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; or

•

cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of LumiraDx’s share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

LumiraDx’s shareholders may by special resolution, subject to any confirmation or consent required by the Cayman Companies Act, reduce the share capital of LumiraDx or any capital redemption reserve in any manner permitted by law.

Restrictive Provisions

Under the Amended and Restated Articles, in connection with any change of control, merger or sale of LumiraDx, the holders of LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares shall receive the same consideration with respect to their LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares in connection with any such transaction.

Exempted Company

LumiraDx is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the Cayman Companies Act. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. As an exempted company, LumiraDx has received an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands that, for a period of 20 years from the date of the grant of the undertaking, no law which is thereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits or income or gains or appreciations will apply to LumiraDx and its operations; and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable on or in respect of LumiraDx’s shares, debentures or other obligations, or by way of the withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment. “Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of LumiraDx.

246

Register of Members

Under the Cayman Companies Act, LumiraDx must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:

•

the names and addresses of the shareholders of LumiraDx, a statement of the shares held by each member (such statement will distinguish each share by its number (where applicable), confirm the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid on the shares of each member, confirm the number and category of the shares held by each member and confirm whether each relevant category of shares held by a member carries voting rights under the articles of association of LumiraDx, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional);

•

the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and

•

the date on which any person ceased to be a member.

Under Cayman Companies Act, the register of members of a company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out in the register (that is, the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members is deemed as a matter of Cayman Companies Act to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Upon completion of the Merger, the register of members will be immediately updated to record and give effect to the issuance of the relevant LMDX common shares. Once the company’s register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their names.

If the name of any person is incorrectly entered in or omitted from the register of members, or if there is any default or unnecessary delay in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a member of the company, the person or member aggrieved (or any member of the company or the company itself) may apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse such application (with or without cost to be paid the applicant) or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.

LumiraDx’s register of members will be maintained by Ocorian Trust (Cayman) Limited.

Comparison of Rights of CAH Stockholders and LumiraDx Shareholders

The Cayman Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England and Wales (being the Companies Act 1985) but does not enact all of the provisions of the more recent Companies Act of England and Wales (being the Companies Act 2006). In addition, the Cayman Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant differences between the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act applicable to LumiraDx and the comparable laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware in the United States.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

The Cayman Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (1) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (2) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (1) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (2) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The plan of

247

merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Dissenting shareholders have the right to be paid the fair value of their shares if they follow the required procedures under the Cayman Companies Act subject to certain exemptions. The fair value of the shares will be determined by the Cayman Islands court if it cannot be agreed among the parties. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders provided that a copy of the plan of merger is given to every shareholder of each subsidiary company to be merged (unless that shareholder agrees otherwise). For this purpose a subsidiary is a company of which at least 90% of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest of a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Except in certain limited circumstances, a dissenting shareholder of a Cayman Islands constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his or her shares upon dissenting from a merger or consolidation. The exercise of such dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, except for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful. Dissent rights do not extend to shares for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or share quotation system.

In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must, in addition, represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

•

the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

•

the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

•

the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

•

the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the

•

Cayman Companies Act.

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, or if a takeover offer is made and accepted, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be

248

available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Shareholders’ Suits

In principle, LumiraDx will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to it, and as a general rule, a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English law authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands courts can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of LumiraDx to challenge:

•

an act that is illegal or ultra vires with respect to LumiraDx and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders;

•

an act that, although not ultra vires, requires authorization by a qualified (or special) majority (that is, more than a simple majority) that has not been obtained; and

•

an act that constitutes a “fraud on the minority” where the wrongdoers are themselves in control of LumiraDx.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

The Cayman Companies Act does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Amended and Restated Articles provide that LumiraDx shall indemnify its officers and directors against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such directors or officers, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of LumiraDx’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his or her duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning LumiraDx or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, LumiraDx intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in the Amended and Restated Articles.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling LumiraDx under the foregoing provisions, LumiraDx has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Anti-Takeover Provisions in the Amended and Restated Articles

The Amended and Restated Articles will include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of the board of directors or management team. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of LumiraDx to negotiate first with the board of directors of LumiraDx. LumiraDx believe that the benefits of the increased protection of an ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire LumiraDx because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. Such provisions include:

•

Dual Class Stock. As described in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities— LMDX Ordinary Shares and LMDX Common Shares—Voting Rights” beginning on page 240, the Amended

249

and Restated Articles will continue to provide for a dual class structure, which will provide the current holders of the LMDX ordinary shares and the LMDX Founder Directors with significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of LumiraDx of its assets.

•

Board of Directors Vacancies. The Amended and Restated Articles will authorize only the board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats. In addition, the number of directors constituting the board of directors (other than alternative directors) will be at least three and is subject to any maximum number fixed from time to time by a resolution of a majority of the board of directors and the approval of the LMDX Founder Directors. These provisions would prevent a shareholder from increasing the size of the board of directors and then gaining control of the board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This will make it more difficult to change the composition of the board of directors and promote continuity of management.

•

Classified Board. The Amended and Restated Articles will provide that the board of directors is classified into three classes of directors (being the LMDX Founder Directors, the Class I directors and the Class II Directors). A third-party may be discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of LumiraDx as it is more difficult and time consuming for shareholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified board of directors. See the section titled “Management Following the Merger—Composition of the Board of Directors” beginning on page 131.

•

Shareholder Action; Special Meeting of Shareholders. The Amended and Restated Articles will provide that the LumiraDx shareholders may not take action by written consent, but may only take action at an annual or extraordinary general meetings of the shareholders. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of LumiraDx’s capital stock would not be able to amend the Amended and Restated Articles or remove directors without holding a meeting of the shareholders called in accordance with the Amended and Restated Articles. The Amended and Restated Articles will further provide that special meetings of the shareholders may be called only by shareholders holding not less than one-third of the voting rights who are entitled to vote at general meetings. However, shareholders may propose only ordinary resolutions to be put to a vote at such meetings and shall have no right to propose resolutions with respect to the election, appointment or removal of directors or to amend the Amended and Restated Articles. The Amended and Restated Articles will provide no other right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of the shareholders to force consideration of a proposal or for shareholders controlling a majority of LumiraDx’s share capital to take any action, including the removal of directors.

•

LMDX Founder Directors. The Amended and Restated Articles will continue to provide that any resolution to remove an LMDX Founder Director requires the voting approval of the LMDX ordinary shares held by Ron Zwanziger, LumiraDx’s Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, and his affiliates. This provision would prevent shareholders from removing any of the LMDX Founder Directors from their respective positions on the board who LumiraDx considers as being fundamental to the running and continued development LumiraDx’s business.

•

Class I and Class II Directors Removed Only for Cause. The Amended and Restated Articles will provide that shareholders may only remove the Class I and Class II directors for cause by way of passing a special resolution.

•

Issuance of Undesignated Shares. The board of directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue undesignated shares of par value with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by the board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued undesignated shares would enable the board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or other means.

250

Under the Cayman Companies Act, the directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under the Amended and Restated Articles, as amended and restated from time to time, for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of LumiraDx and for a proper purpose.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties

Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself or herself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the transaction was procedurally fair and provided fair value to the corporation. As a matter of Cayman law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore owes the following duties to the company—a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him or her to do so), a duty not to put himself or herself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third-party, and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care, and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands. In fulfilling their duty of care to LumiraDx, the directors must ensure compliance with the Amended and Restated Articles, as amended and restated from time to time. The Company has the right to seek damages if a duty owed by any of the directors is breached.

Shareholder Proposals

While the Delaware General Corporation Law does not provide shareholders with an express right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, under applicable common law, Delaware corporations generally afford shareholders an opportunity to make proposals and nominations provided that they comply with the notice provisions in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the organizational documents, and shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

The Cayman Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. The Amended and Restated Articles allow the shareholders of LumiraDx holding not less than one-third of the voting rights entitled to vote at general meetings to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders, in which case the board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. However, the shareholders of LumiraDx may propose only ordinary resolutions to be put to a vote at such meetings and shall have no right to propose resolutions with respect to the election, appointment or removal of directors or to amend the Amended and Restated Articles. The Amended and Restated Articles provide no other right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings. As a Cayman Islands exempted

251

company, LumiraDx is not obligated by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. However, the Amended and Restated Articles and LumiraDx’s corporate governance guidelines require LumiraDx to call an annual general meeting each year.

Cumulative Voting

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under the Cayman Companies Act, the Amended and Restated Articles do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, LumiraDx’s shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

Removal of Directors

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Amended and Restated Articles, a director will be removed from office automatically if, among other things, the director (1) is prohibited from being a director by any applicable law; (2) dies or becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his or her creditors generally; (3) is found of unsound mind; (4) resigns his or her office by notice in writing to LumiraDx; and (5) save in the case of a LMDX Founder Director, that person has, for more than six consecutive months, been absent without permission of the directors from meetings of the board and the directors make a decision that that person’s office be vacated. The Class I and Class II directors can also be removed for cause by way of the shareholders passing a special resolution. An LMDX Founder Director can only be removed from office on a resolution being proposed which is approved by the LMDX ordinary shares held by Ron Zwanziger and his affiliates.

Transactions with Interested Shareholders

The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws that is approved by its shareholders, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations or mergers with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock or who or which is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and owned 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the merger, business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

The Cayman Companies Act has no comparable statute. As a result, LumiraDx cannot avail itself of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware Merger statute. However, although the Cayman Companies Act does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

252

Dissolution; Winding Up

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board of directors.

Under the Cayman Companies Act, a company may be voluntarily wound up upon the shareholders passing a special resolution (being two-thirds of the total voting rights). In addition, a company may be wound up by an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.

Variation of Rights of Shares

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.

Under the Cayman Companies Act and the Amended and Restated Articles, if LumiraDx’s share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, LumiraDx may materially and adversely vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths of the shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Amendment of Governing Documents

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may be amended only if adopted and declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, and the bylaws may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and may, if so provided in the certificate of incorporation, also be amended by the board of directors. Under the Cayman Companies Act and the Amended and Restated Articles, the Amended and Restated Articles may only be amended by special resolution of our shareholders.

Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders

There are no limitations imposed by the Amended and Restated Articles on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in the Amended and Restated Articles governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Directors’ Power to Issue Shares

Under the Amended and Restated Articles, the board of directors is empowered to issue or allot shares or grant options or warrants and analogous equity-based rights with or without preferred, deferred, qualified or other special rights or restrictions. In particular, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, the board of directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue all or any part of LumiraDx’s authorized but unissued share capital and, subject to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles, to fix the designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions therefrom, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the LMDX common shares.

253

The board of directors, without shareholder approval, may issue undesignated shares with voting, conversion or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of the LMDX common shares. Subject to the directors’ duty of acting in the best interest of the company, such undesignated shares can be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of us or make removal of management more difficult. Additionally, the issuance of undesignated shares may have the effect of decreasing the market price of the LMDX common shares, and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of the LMDX common shares.

Inspection of Books and Records

Holders of the LMDX ordinary shares and LMDX common shares will have no general right under the Cayman Companies Act to inspect or obtain copies of the list of shareholders or the corporate records. However, we will provide LumiraDx’s shareholders with annual audited financial statements. Copies of annual financial statements will also be provided to LumiraDx’s registered office service provider in the Cayman Islands to allow for compliance with certain obligations under Cayman law. See the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 280. Stockholders of a Delaware corporation have the right to inspect the books and records of the corporation and the stock ledger for any proper purpose under the Delaware General Corporation Law, and a stockholder list must be available for inspection at annual and special meetings of the stockholders.

Registration Rights

Registration Rights Agreements

The following summary contains a description of certain material U.S. federal income, U.K. and Cayman Islands tax consequences of the redemption of CAH common stock and the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants received pursuant to the Merger. This summary should not be considered a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to the decision to elect to have the CAH common stock redeemed or acquire the LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants in this Merger or own or dispose of the LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants.

If you are a partnership (or other pass-through entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax treatment of your partners (or other owners) will generally depend on the status of the partners, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships (or other pass-through entities) and the partners (or other owners) in such partnerships (or such other pass-through entities) should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them relating to the matters discussed below.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of CAH common stock, CAH public warrants, LMDX common shares, or LMDX new warrants, as the case may be, who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•

an entity treated as a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or (2) was in existence on August 20, 1996 and has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Also, for purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of CAH common stock, CAH public warrants, LMDX common shares, or LMDX new warrants, as the case may be, who or that is neither a U.S. holder nor an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The following does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects stemming from the completion of the Merger or that are associated with redemptions of CAH common stock or the ownership of LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws or the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect holders to which this discussion applies and could affect the accuracy of the statements herein. Neither CAH nor LumiraDx has sought, and neither will seek, any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that regarding tax consequences discussed below.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redemption to the Holders of CAH Common Stock

U.S. Holders

Redemption of CAH common stock. If a U.S. holder’s CAH common stock is redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Special Meeting of CAH Stockholders — Redemption Rights” beginning on page 95, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the CAH common stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of the CAH common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as described under the section titled Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redemption to the Holders of CAH Common Stock - U.S. Holders — Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of CAH Common Stock” beginning on page 259. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of the CAH common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences described in the section titled Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redemption to the Holders of CAH Common Stock - U.S. Holders — Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution” beginning on page 259.

Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of stock in CAH actually and constructively (as a result of owning warrants or by attribution from certain related individuals and entities) held by the U.S. holder both before and after the redemption relative to all of shares of stock in CAH outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of CAH common stock generally will be treated as a sale of the CAH common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in CAH or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of CAH stock that are treated as constructively owned by it. A U.S. holder may be treated as constructively owning, in addition to stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock that the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include CAH common stock that could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of CAH’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of CAH common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of CAH outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by such U.S. holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account redemptions by other holders of CAH common stock). There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of CAH stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of CAH stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed, the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of CAH common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in CAH stock. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in CAH stock will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small

258

reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution, and the tax effects will be as described in the section titled Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redemption to the Holders of CAH Common Stock - U.S. Holders — Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution” beginning on page 259. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed CAH common stock will be added to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining CAH common stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its CAH public warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.

Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of CAH Common Stock. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of CAH common stock, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized in the redemption and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its disposed of CAH common stock. The amount realized is the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received, and a U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its CAH common stock generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost (that is, the portion of the purchase price of a CAH unit allocated to a share of CAH common stock).

Any such capital gain or loss generally will be short-term capital gain or loss unless the U.S. holder’s holding period for the CAH common stock so disposed of exceeds one year, in which case such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss. It is unclear, however, whether the right to exercise the redemption rights with respect to the CAH common stock described in this proxy statement/prospectus may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose (prior to the receipt of cash) because there is no authority directly on point with respect to whether such redemption rights diminish a U.S. Holder’s risk of loss with respect to its CAH common stock in a manner that suspends the holding period for such CAH common stock under the applicable holding period requirements. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of CAH common stock, a U.S. holder will generally be treated as receiving a distribution. Such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the current or accumulated earnings and profits of CAH, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its CAH common stock (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such CAH common stock in the manner described in the section immediately above titled Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redemption to the Holders of CAH Common Stock - U.S. Holders —Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of CAH Common Stock” beginning on page 259.

Dividends (including constructive dividends paid pursuant to a redemption of CAH common stock) CAH pays to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions, and provided that certain holding period requirements are met, dividends CAH pays to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the right to exercise the redemption rights with respect to the CAH common stock described in this proxy statement/prospectus may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be, because there is no authority directly on point with respect to whether such redemption rights diminish a U.S. Holder’s risk of loss with respect to CAH common stock in a manner that suspends the holding period for such CAH common stock under the applicable holding period requirements.

259

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information reporting requirements will generally apply to dividends (including constructive dividends paid pursuant to a redemption of CAH common stock) paid to a U.S. holder and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of shares of CAH common stock, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, or refunded to such U.S. holder, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

Redemption of CAH Common Stock. The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s CAH common stock pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section titled “Special Meeting of CAH Stockholders — Redemption Rights” beginning on page 95 generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. holder’s CAH common stock, as described under Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redemption to the Holders of CAH Common Stock - U.S. Holders — Redemption of CAH Common Stock” beginning on page 258, and the consequences of the redemption to the Non-U.S. holder will be as described in the sections immediately below titled under Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redemption to the Holders of CAH Common Stock - Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Redemption Treated as a Sale of CAH Common Stock” and “Non-U.S. Holders — Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution,” as applicable.

Gain on Redemption Treated as a Sale of CAH common stock. Subject to the discussions below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, a Non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized on a redemption treated as a sale of CAH common stock unless:

•

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable);

•

the Non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the redemption and certain other requirements are met; or

•

CAH is or has been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held CAH common stock.

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular rates applicable to United States persons. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States) provided that the Non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares of CAH common stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. CAH believes that it is not, and has not been at any time since its formation, a U.S. real property holding corporation.

260

Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of CAH common stock, a Non-U.S. holder will generally be treated as receiving a distribution. Such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from CAH’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. The gross amount of such dividends will be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of eligibility for such reduced rate (on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other applicable documentation). If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. holder will be exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax described above if such Non-U.S. holder furnishes to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular rates applicable to United States persons. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items.

Distributions in excess of CAH’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in CAH common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the CAH common stock and will be treated as described in the section immediately above titled “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redemption to the Holders of CAH Common Stock - Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Redemption Treated as a Sale of CAH Common Stock”.

Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments of dividends (including constructive dividends received pursuant to a redemption of CAH common stock) on CAH common stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided that the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid applicable IRS Form W-8, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any payments of dividends on CAH common stock paid to the Non-U.S. holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition of CAH common stock within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of CAH common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a credit against a Non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, or refunded to such U.S. holder, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA Withholding Taxes. Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such sections commonly referred to as “FATCA”) impose a withholding tax of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends

261

received pursuant to a redemption of stock) on CAH common stock to stockholders that fail to meet prescribed information reporting or certification requirements.

In general, no such withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. holder or an individual Non-U.S. holder that timely provides the certifications required on a valid IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, respectively. Holders potentially subject to withholding include “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and “non-financial foreign entities” unless various U.S. information reporting, due diligence (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) and withholding requirements have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E).

Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the effects of FATCA on a redemption of CAH common stock.

HOLDERS OF CAH COMMON STOCK CONTEMPLATING EXERCISE OF THEIR REDEMPTION RIGHTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF SUCH A REDEMPTION, INCLUDING THE EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAX LAWS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

Characterization of the Merger

The Merger will qualify as a tax-deferred “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code if the Merger either qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code (a “Reverse Triangular Reorganization”) or qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code (a “‘B’ Reorganization”). The qualification of the Merger as a Reverse Triangular Reorganization or a “B” Reorganization depends on meeting certain technical requirements. To qualify as a Reverse Triangular Reorganization (although not required to qualify as a “B” Reorganization), among other things, “substantially all” of CAH’s assets are required to be retained by CAH - for some time - following the completion of the Merger. If a significant number of stockholders decide to redeem their CAH common stock, CAH may not be able to meet this requirement and the Merger will not so qualify. For this purpose, as a condition for obtaining a ruling from the IRS, the IRS has previously required a target corporation to retain at least 90% of the fair market value of its net assets and at least 70% of the fair market value of its gross assets. Thus, the treatment of the Merger as a tax-deferred “reorganization” may depend on the extent to which stockholders of CAH decide to exchange their CAH common stock for LMDX common shares rather than causing their CAH common stock to be redeemed for cash, which cannot be determined as of the date of this registration statement/prospectus. In addition, to qualify either as a Reverse Triangular Reorganization or as a “B” Reorganization, the acquiring corporation (or, in the case of certain reorganizations structured similarly to the Merger, its corporate parent) is required to continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business, in each case, within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.368-1(d). However, due to the absence of guidance bearing directly on how the above rules apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with investment-type assets, such as CAH, the satisfaction of this requirement is subject to significant uncertainty. This requirements is referred to as the “continuity of business enterprise” requirement. Because of (i) the short history of CAH, (ii) the fact that its assets consist primarily of the funds held in the trust account, (iii) the possibility of a significant number of holders of redeeming their CAH common stock for cash, and (iv) the lack of authority or IRS guidance directly on point in respect of the type of companies that includes CAH, there is significant uncertainty as to whether CAH will be able to meet this “continuity of business enterprise” requirement after the Merger.

262

CAH and LumiraDx intend to report the Merger as a tax-deferred “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). However, neither CAH nor LumiraDx intends to request any ruling or other guidance from the IRS on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Merger, and the obligations of the parties to complete the Merger are not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Merger will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. The qualification of the Merger for the Intended Tax Treatment is not a condition to the closing of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not include any covenant requiring CAH or LumiraDx to ensure that the Merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment. Furthermore, because of the many requirements to qualify as a “reorganization” (some of which are based on certain factual determinations which may depend on events or actions that are beyond the control of CAH and LumiraDx) and in the absence of direct authorities, as discussed above, no assurance can be given that the Merger will qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization or that the IRS would not challenge such treatment in light of the specific requirements of Section 368(a) of the Code.

In general, for the Merger to meet these additional requirements, certain reporting requirements must be satisfied and (i) no more than 50% of both the total voting power and the total value of the stock of the transferee foreign corporation is received, in the aggregate, by the “U.S. transferors” (as defined in the Treasury regulations and computed taking into account direct, indirect and constructive ownership) in the transaction; (ii) no more than 50% of each of the total voting power and the total value of the stock of the transferee foreign corporation is owned, in the aggregate, immediately after the transaction by “U.S. persons” (as defined in the Treasury regulations) that are either officers or directors or “five-percent target shareholders” (as defined in the Treasury regulations and computed taking into account direct, indirect and constructive ownership) of the transferred U.S. corporation; and (iii) the “active trade or business test” as defined in Treasury regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(3) must be satisfied. Conditions (i), (ii), and (iii) are expected to be met, and, as a result, the Merger is expected to satisfy the applicable requirements under Section 367(a) of the Code on account of such conditions. Accordingly, it is expected that the Merger would not result in gain recognition by a U.S. holder exchanging CAH common stock and CAH public warrants for LMDX common shares and LumiraDx new warrants so long as either (A) the U.S. holder is not a “five-percent transferee shareholder” (as defined in the Treasury regulations and computed taking into account direct, indirect and constructive ownership, and treating the LumiraDx new warrants of the U.S. holder as exercised for this purpose) of LumiraDx (by total voting power or by total value) or (B) the U.S. holder is a “five-percent transferee shareholder” of LumiraDx and enters into an agreement with the IRS to recognize gain under certain circumstances. All U.S. holders that will own 5% or more of either the total voting power or the total value of the outstanding shares of LumiraDx after the Merger (taking into account, for this purpose, ownership of LMDX common shares and LumiraDx new warrants acquired in connection with the Merger and any LMDX equity interests not acquired in connection with the Merger) may want to enter into a valid “gain recognition agreement” under applicable Treasury regulations and are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular consequences to them of the Merger.

Whether the requirements described above are met will depend on facts existing at the Effective Time, and the closing of the Merger is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel or ruling from the IRS that the Merger will not result in gain being recognized by U.S. holders of CAH common stock or CAH public warrants under Section 367(a) of the Code. In addition, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the satisfaction of the relevant requirements under Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the Merger or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

Holders of CAH common stock and CAH public warrants should therefore consult their tax advisors regarding the proper tax treatment of the Merger, including with respect to the intended qualification of the Merger as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.

263

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger for Holders of CAH Common Stock and CAH Public Warrants

U.S. Holders

Assuming the Merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment and the applicable requirements under Section 367(a) of the Code are met, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to (i) U.S. holders of CAH common stock who exchange their CAH common stock for LMDX common shares and (ii) U.S. holders of CAH public warrants whose CAH public warrants automatically convert into LumiraDx new warrants will be as follows:

•

no gain or loss will be recognized;

•

the aggregate basis of the LMDX common shares received in the Merger will be the same as the aggregate basis of the CAH common stock for which they are exchanged;

•

the aggregate basis of the LumiraDx new warrants will be the same as the aggregate basis of the CAH public warrants that were assigned to, and issued by LumiraDx from the Effective Time; and

•

the holding period of the LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants received pursuant to the Merger will be the same as the holding period of the shares of CAH common stock for which they are exchanged and the CAH public warrants that were converted.

If, however, the Merger does not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, then a U.S. holder would generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the fair market value of the LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants received pursuant to the Merger and (ii) such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the CAH common stock surrendered and CAH public warrants that were assigned to, and issued by, LumiraDx. Such gain or loss would be short-term capital gain or loss unless the CAH common stock and/or CAH public warrants were respectively held for more than one year at the time of the Merger. It is unclear, however, whether the right to exercise the redemption rights with respect to the CAH common stock described in this proxy statement/prospectus may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose (prior to the receipt of cash), because there is no authority directly on point with respect to whether such redemption rights diminish a U.S. Holder’s risk of loss with respect to its CAH common stock in a manner that suspends the holding period for such CAH common stock under the applicable holding period requirements. In addition, the U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants received would equal their fair market value at the time of the closing of the Merger and the U.S. holder’s holding period of such LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants would commence the day after the Closing. The amount of a U.S. holder’s gain or loss is required to be calculated separately for each identifiable block of CAH common stock or CAH public warrants (generally, shares or warrants purchased at the same time in the same transaction) exchanged in the Merger.

If the Merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment but, at the Effective Time, any requirement for Section 367(a) of the Code not to impose gain on a U.S. holder is not satisfied, then a U.S. holder of CAH common stock or CAH public warrants generally would recognize gain (but would not be permitted to recognize any loss) in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value as of the closing date of the LMDX common shares and LumiraDx new warrants received by such holder in the Merger over such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the CAH common stock and CAH public warrants surrendered by such U.S. holder in the Merger. Any gain so recognized would generally be short-term or long-term capital gain under the rules described above.

The rules dealing with Section 367(a) of the Code discussed above are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, you are strongly urged to consult your tax advisor concerning the application of these rules to your exchange of CAH common stock and CAH public warrants under your particular circumstances, including whether you will be a five-percent transferee shareholder and the possibility of entering into a “gain recognition agreement” under applicable Treasury regulations.

264

Retention of Records.

As provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(d), each U.S. holder who receives LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants in the Merger is required to retain permanent records pertaining to the Merger, and make such records available to any authorized IRS officers and employees. Such records should specifically include information regarding the amount, basis and fair market value of all transferred property, and relevant facts regarding any liabilities assumed or extinguished as part of such reorganization. Additionally, U.S. holders who owned immediately before completion of the Merger at least 1% (by vote or value) of the total outstanding CAH shares, or CAH “securities” (as specially defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) the aggregate federal income tax basis of which was at least $1 million, are required to attach a statement to their tax returns for the year in which the Merger is completed that contains the information listed in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(b). Such statement must include the U.S. holder’s tax basis in and fair market value of such U.S. holder’s CAH shares and any such “securities” surrendered in the Merger, the date of completion of the Merger and the name and employer identification number of each of CAH and LumiraDx.

Non-U.S. Holders

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger for Non-U.S. holders of CAH common stock and CAH public warrants will generally be the same as for U.S. holders except as noted below.

Non-U.S. holders will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized as a result of the Merger (i.e., if the Merger does not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment) unless:

•

the Non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the Merger and certain other requirements are met; or

•

CAH is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the Merger or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held CAH common stock.

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular rates applicable to United States persons. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

If the third bullet point above applied to a Non-U.S. holder, any gain recognized by such holder with respect to such holder’s CAH common stock as a result of the Merger would be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. CAH believes that it is not, and has not been at any time since its formation, a U.S. real property holding corporation.

HOLDERS OF CAH COMMON STOCK AND CAH PUBLIC WARRANTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAX LAWS.

265

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of LMDX Common Shares and the Ownership and Disposition or Conversion of LMDX New Warrants Received in the Merger

U.S. Holders

Distributions on LMDX Common Shares.

As discussed under “Dividend Policy” in this registration statement, LMDX does not anticipate declaring or paying any cash distributions on the LMDX common shares in the foreseeable future. However, if LMDX were to make distributions of cash or property on the LMDX common shares (other than certain pro rata distributions of its LMDX common shares), subject to the discussion of the PFIC rules below, any such distributions will generally constitute dividends to the extent of LMDX’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of LumiraDx’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in its LMDX common shares and thereafter as capital gain, which will be either long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon whether the U.S. holder held its LMDX common shares for more than one year. LumiraDx does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles and, accordingly, a U.S. holder should expect that distributions on its LMDX common shares will be treated entirely as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Because LumiraDx is not a U.S. corporation, U.S. holders that are corporations will not be entitled to claim a dividend received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from LumiraDx. Dividends paid with respect to LMDX common shares will be treated as foreign source income and will generally be “passive category income” for purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Dividends received by a U.S. holder on its LMDX common shares will generally be taxed as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, a non-corporate U.S. holder may be eligible for taxation at the lower rates applicable to long-term capital gain, provided that such dividends constitute qualified dividend income with respect to such U.S. holder. Qualified dividend income generally includes a dividend paid by a foreign corporation if (i) the stock with respect to which the dividend is paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States (such as the Nasdaq Stock Market, on which certain LMDX common shares will be listed), (ii) the foreign corporation is not a PFIC for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid and the immediately preceding taxable year (as discussed below), and (iii) the U.S. holder has owned the stock for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on which the stock become ex-dividend (and has not entered into certain risk limiting transactions with respect to such stock).

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of LMDX Common Shares or LMDX New Warrants.

Subject to the discussion of the PFIC rules below, a U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. holder from such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in such LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants. Such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. Such capital gain or loss will generally be treated as U.S.-source income or loss, as applicable, for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of an LMDX New Warrant.

Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of an LMDX new warrant, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the acquisition of an LMDX common share on the exercise of an LMDX new warrant for cash. A U.S. holder’s initial tax basis in an LMDX common share received upon exercise of the LMDX new warrant generally will equal the sum of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the LMDX new warrant immediately prior to exercise and the exercise price of such LMDX new warrant. It is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the LMDX common share received upon exercise of the LMDX new warrant will commence on the date of exercise of the LMDX new warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the

266

LMDX new warrant; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the LMDX new warrant. If an LMDX new warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in the LMDX new warrant.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of an LMDX new warrant are not clear under current law. A cashless exercise may not be taxable, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the LMDX common shares received generally would equal the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the LMDX new warrants exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were not a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the LMDX common shares will commence on the date of exercise of the LMDX new warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the LMDX new warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the LMDX common shares would include the holding period of the LMDX new warrants exercised therefor.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in whole or in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized with respect to the portion of the exercised LMDX new warrants treated as surrendered to pay the exercise price of the LMDX new warrants. In such event, a U.S. holder could be deemed to have surrendered a number of warrants having an aggregate value (as measured by the excess of the fair market value of the LMDX common shares over the exercise price of the LMDX new warrants) equal to the exercise price for the total number of LMDX new warrants to be exercised (i.e., the LMDX new warrants underlying the number of LMDX common shares actually received by the U.S. holder pursuant to the cashless exercise). In this case, the U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the value of the LMDX new warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in such LMDX new warrants. Such gain or loss would be long-term or short-term, depending on the U.S. holder’s holding period in the LMDX new warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the LMDX common shares received would equal the sum of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the LMDX new warrants exercised and the exercise price of such LMDX new warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the LMDX common shares would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the LMDX new warrant; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the LMDX new warrant. Alternative characterizations are also possible (including as a taxable exchange of all of the LMDX new warrants surrendere1d by the U.S. holder for LMDX common shares received upon exercise). Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the LMDX common shares received, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

If LumiraDx redeems the LMDX new warrants for cash pursuant to the terms thereof or if LumiraDx purchases LMDX new warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. Holder, taxed as described in the section titled “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of LMDX Common Shares and the Ownership and Disposition or Conversion of LMDX New Warrants Received in the Merger - U.S. Holders - Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of LMDX Common Shares or LMDX New Warrants” beginning on page 266.

Possible Constructive Distributions.

The terms of each LMDX new warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of LMDX common shares for which the LMDX new warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the LMDX new warrant in certain events. Depending on the circumstances, such adjustments may be treated as constructive distributions. An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula

267

generally is not taxable. The U.S. holders of the warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from LumiraDx if, for example, the adjustment increases the LMDX new warrant holders’ proportionate interest in LumiraDx’s assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of LMDX common shares that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease to the exercise price) as a result of a taxable distribution of cash or other property to the holders of LMDX common shares. Any such constructive distribution would generally be subject to tax as described in the section titled “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of LMDX Common Shares and the Ownership and Disposition or Conversion of LMDX New Warrants Received in the Merger - U.S. Holders - Distributions on LMDX Common Shares” beginning on page 266 in the same manner as if the U.S. holders of the warrants received a cash distribution from LumiraDx equal to the fair market value of such increased interest resulting from the adjustment.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.

In general, LumiraDx will be a PFIC with respect to a U.S. holder if, for any taxable year in which such holder held LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants, either: (i) at least 75% of LumiraDx’s gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income (e.g., dividends, interest, capital gains, rents and royalties, other than any rents or royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business); or (ii) at least 50% of the quarterly average value of the gross assets held by LumiraDx during such taxable year produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. For purposes of determining whether LumiraDx is a PFIC, LumiraDx will be treated as earning and owning its proportionate share of the income and assets, respectively, of any subsidiary corporation in which it owns at least 25% of the value of the subsidiary’s stock.

Based on the current and expected composition of LumiraDx’s income and assets and the value of LumiraDx’s assets, LumiraDx does not expect to be a PFIC for its current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, no assurances regarding LumiraDx’s PFIC status can be provided for the current taxable year or any future taxable years. The determination of whether LumiraDx is a PFIC for any taxable year is a fact-intensive determination that can only be made after the end of each year, and will depend on the composition of its income and assets and the value of its assets from time to time (including the value of its goodwill, which will generally be determined in part by reference to the market price of the LMDX common shares, which may fluctuate considerably). The composition of LumiraDx’s income and assets will also be affected by the amount of cash that it receives in the Merger and raises in any future offerings or other financing transactions. Because the value of LumiraDx’s goodwill will generally be determined by reference to its market capitalization, LumiraDx could become a PFIC for any taxable year if the price of its common shares declines significantly while LumiraDx holds a substantial amount of cash and financial investments. LumiraDx also could become a PFIC if it does not generate sufficient income from its business in any taxable year (including LumiraDx’s current taxable year) relative to the amount of passive income that it generates in such taxable year. In addition, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to some uncertainties and the proper characterization of certain items of its income and assets is not entirely clear. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that LumiraDx will not be a PFIC for its current or any future taxable year. No belief is expressed regarding LumiraDx’s PFIC status with respect to any U.S. holder that acquired equity interests (or options or other rights to acquire equity interests) in LumiraDx prior to this Merger.

If LumiraDx were a PFIC for any taxable year in which a U.S. holder owned LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants, the U.S. holder would be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” such U.S. holder receives and any gain such U.S. holder recognizes from a sale or other disposition (including, under certain circumstances, a pledge) of LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants, unless the LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants constitute “marketable securities,” and such U.S. holder makes a mark-to-market election as discussed below. An “excess distribution” is the portion of any distribution received by the U.S. holder on LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual

268

distributions received by such U.S. holder in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the U.S. holder’s holding period for such LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants. Under these special tax rules:

•

the excess distribution or the gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for its LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants;

•

the amount of such excess distribution or the gain allocated to the taxable year of disposition, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which LumiraDx became a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and

•

the amount of such excess distribution or the gain allocated to each other year will be subject to the highest U.S. federal income tax rate in effect for that year for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

If LumiraDx were a PFIC for any taxable year and its common shares were treated as “marketable stock,” a U.S. holder would be allowed to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to its common shares. LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants will be treated as “marketable stock” if they are “regularly traded” on certain U.S. stock exchanges or on a foreign stock exchange that meets certain conditions. For these purposes, LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants will be considered regularly traded during any calendar year during which they are traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, which is a qualified exchange for these purposes. Consequently, if LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants remain listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and are regularly traded, it is expected that the mark-to-market election would be available to U.S. holders if LumiraDx is a PFIC.

A U.S. holder that makes a mark-to-market election must include in ordinary income for each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants at the close of the taxable year over the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants. An electing holder may also claim an ordinary loss deduction for the excess, if any, of the U.S. holder’s adjusted basis in LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants over the fair market value of the LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants at the close of the taxable year, only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains for prior years. Gains from an actual sale or other disposition of LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants will be treated as ordinary income, and any losses incurred on a sale or other disposition of such LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants will be treated as an ordinary loss to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains for prior years. Once made, the election cannot be revoked without the consent of the IRS, unless the LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants cease to be marketable.

LumiraDx does not intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. holders to make qualified electing fund elections which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above. In addition, a U.S. holder of warrants would not be permitted to make a qualified electing fund election with respect to such warrants.

If LumiraDx were a PFIC in any year with respect to which a U.S. holder owns LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants, LumiraDx will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. holder in all succeeding years during which the U.S. holder owns LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants, regardless of whether LumiraDx continues to meet the tests described above, unless LumiraDx ceases to be a PFIC and the U.S. holder has made a “deemed sale” election under the PFIC rules.

If LumiraDx were a PFIC for any taxable year and any entity in which LumiraDx owns equity interests in were also a PFIC, U.S. holders would be deemed to own a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of each lower-tier PFIC and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax according to the rules described below on (i) certain distributions by the lower-tier PFIC and (ii) dispositions of shares of the lower-tier PFIC, in each case as if the U.S. holders held such shares directly, even though the U.S. holder would not receive any proceeds of

269

those distributions or dispositions. It is unclear whether a mark-to-market election can be made with respect to any lower-tier PFIC, even if the shares of such lower-tier PFIC are themselves “marketable stock.”

If LumiraDx were a PFIC for any taxable year in which a U.S. holder owned LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants, the U.S. holder generally would be required to file IRS Form 8621 with the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax return for each year to report the U.S. holder’s ownership of such LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants and, in the event a U.S. holder that is required to file IRS Form 8621 does not file such form, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such U.S. holder for the related tax year may not close until three years after the date that the required information is filed.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.

Payments of dividends on, and sales proceeds from the disposition of, LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants made to U.S. holders should generally be subject to information reporting and backup withholding requirements similar to those described in the section titled “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Redemption to the Holders of CAH Common Stock - U.S. Holders - Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” beginning on page 260.

Certain Additional Reporting Requirements.

Individual U.S. holders (and to the extent specified in applicable Treasury regulations, certain U.S. holders that are entities) that hold “specified foreign financial assets” whose aggregate value exceeds $75,000 at any time during the taxable year or $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year (or such higher amounts as prescribed by applicable Treasury regulations) are required to file a report on IRS Form 8938 with information relating to such assets for each such taxable year. Specified foreign financial assets would include, among other things, LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants, unless the LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants are held in an account maintained by a U.S. financial institution. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to timely file IRS Form 8938. Additionally, in the event a U.S. holder that is required to file IRS Form 8938 does not file such form, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such holder for the related tax year may not close until three years after the date that the required information is filed. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their reporting obligations with respect to specified foreign financial assets.

Non-U.S. Holders

Tax Consequences of Distributions

Distributions paid to a non-U.S. holder in respect of LMDX common shares (and constructive distributions paid to a non-U.S. holder in respect of LMDX new warrants, as described in the section titled “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of LMDX Common Shares and the Ownership and Disposition or Conversion of LMDX New Warrants Received in the Merger — U.S. Holders — Possible Constructive Distributions” beginning on page 267)) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the distributions are treated as dividends and are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States). Dividends that are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. holder and, in the case of a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate, but will not be subject to the gross basis U.S. federal income tax described above, as long as the non-U.S. holder provides proper certification (generally on an IRS Form W-8ECI).

270

Tax Consequences of Sale or Other Taxable Disposition

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other taxable disposition of LMDX common shares or LMDX new warrants unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or (ii) the non-U.S. holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition and certain other requirements are met.

Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of a LMDX New Warrant

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a non-U.S. holder’s exercise of an LMDX new warrant, or the lapse of an LMDX new warrant held by a non-U.S. holder, generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise or lapse of an LMDX new warrant by a U.S. holder, as described under “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of LMDX Common Shares and the Ownership and Disposition or Conversion of LMDX New Warrants Received in the Merger - U.S. Holders — Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of an LMDX New Warrant” beginning on page 266, although, the U.S. federal income tax treatment for a non-U.S. holder of a redemption of LMDX new warrants for cash (or if LumiraDx purchases LMDX new warrants in an open market transaction), or to the extent that a cashless exercise results in a taxable exchange, would be similar to those described in the section immediately above titled “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of LMDX Common Shares and the Ownership and Disposition or Conversion of LMDX New Warrants Received in the Merger - Non-U.S. Holders - Tax Consequences of Sale or Other Taxable Disposition” beginning on page 271.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.

Payments of dividends on, and sales proceeds from the disposition of, LMDX common shares and LMDX new warrants made to Non-U.S. holders should generally be subject to information reporting and backup withholding requirements similar to those described in the section titled “Certain Material Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Redemption to the Holders of CAH Common Stock - U.S. Holders - Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” beginning on page 270.

Certain Material U.K. Tax Considerations

The following statements are intended only as a general guide to certain U.K. tax considerations and do not purport to be a complete analysis, for example, of all potential U.K. tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of LMDX common shares. They are based on current U.K. law and what is understood to be the current practice of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, or HMRC, as at the date of this registration statement, both of which may change, possibly with retroactive effect.

The statements in respect of the U.K. tax considerations in relation to holders of the LMDX common shares generally apply only to those who are resident and, in the case of individuals domiciled or deemed domiciled, for tax purposes in (and only in) the U.K. (except insofar as express reference is made to the treatment of non-U.K. residents), who hold common shares as an investment (other than where a tax exemption applies, for example common shares held in an individual savings account or pension arrangement) and who are the absolute beneficial owner of the common shares and any dividends paid on them. The tax position of certain categories of investors who are subject to special rules (such as persons acquiring their LMDX common shares in connection with employment, dealers in securities, insurance companies and collective investment schemes) is not considered. The following statements assume that such a holder of LMDX common shares is, for U.K. tax purposes, absolutely beneficially entitled to the underlying LMDX common shares.

The statements summarize the current position and are intended as a general guide only and do not constitute legal or tax advice. Nothing in this section is intended to address any U.K. tax consequences of

271

the merger between CAH and Merger Sub or for any CAH stockholders, whether U.K. tax resident or resident elsewhere. Shareholders who are in any doubt as to their tax position or who may be subject to tax in a jurisdiction other than the U.K. should consult their own professional advisers.

Taxation of Investors

Taxation of Dividends

LumiraDx is not required to withhold U.K. tax when paying a dividend. Liability to tax on dividends will depend upon the individual circumstances of a shareholder. No tax credit attaches to any dividend paid by LumiraDx.

(i) U.K. Resident Individual Investors

Under current U.K. tax rules specific rates of tax apply to dividend income. These include a nil rate of tax, or the “Nil Rate Amount”, for the first £2,000 (at current rates) of dividend income in any tax year and different rates of tax for dividend income that exceeds the Nil Rate Amount. For these purposes “dividend income” includes U.K. and non U.K. source dividends and certain other distributions in respect of the LMDX common shares.

An individual investor who is resident for tax purposes in the U.K. and who receives a dividend from LumiraDx will not be liable to U.K. tax on the dividend to the extent that (taking account of any other dividend income received by the investor in the same tax year) that dividend falls within the Nil Rate Amount.

To the extent that (taking account of any other dividend income received by the investor in the same tax year) the dividend exceeds the Nil Rate Amount and cannot be sheltered by the unused part of any investor’s personal allowance, it will be subject to income tax at a rate which is currently 7.5% to the extent that it falls below the threshold for higher rate income tax. To the extent that (taking account of other dividend income received in the same tax year) it falls above the threshold for higher rate income tax then the dividend will, be taxed at a rate which is currently 32.5% to the extent that it is within the higher rate band, or 38.1% to the extent that it is within the additional rate band. For the purposes of determining which of the taxable bands dividend income falls into, dividend income is treated as the highest part of an investor’s income. In addition, dividends within the Nil Rate Amount which would (if there was no Nil Rate Amount) have fallen within the basic or higher rate bands will use up those bands respectively for the purposes of determining whether the threshold for higher rate or additional rate income tax is exceeded.

(ii) U.K. Resident Corporate Investors

Investors within the charge to U.K. corporation tax which are “small companies” for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 9A of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 will generally not be subject to U.K. corporation tax on any dividend received from LumiraDx provided certain conditions are met (including an anti-avoidance condition).

An investor within the charge to U.K. corporation tax which is not a “small company” for the purposes of the U.K. taxation of dividends legislation in Part 9A of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 will be liable to U.K. corporation tax (currently at a rate of 19% for companies paying the main rate of corporation tax, expected to increase to 25% from April 1, 2023) unless the dividend falls within one of the exempt classes set out in Part 9A. Examples of exempt classes (as defined in Chapter 3 of Part 9A of the Corporation Tax Act 2009) include dividends paid on shares that are “ordinary shares” (that is shares that do not carry any present or future preferential right to dividends or to the company’s assets on its winding up) and which are not “redeemable”, and dividends paid to a person holding less than 10% of the issued share capital of the payer (or any class of that share capital in respect of which the distribution is made). However, the exemptions are not comprehensive and are subject to anti-avoidance rules. If the conditions for exemption are not met or cease to be satisfied, or such an investor elects for an otherwise exempt dividend to be taxable, the investor will be subject to U.K. corporation tax on dividends received from LumiraDx at the rate of corporation tax applicable to that investor.

272

Investors within the charge to U.K. corporation tax should seek advice from their own professional advisers in considering whether they are within the scope of an exempt class.

(iii) Non-U.K. Resident Investors

A non-U.K. resident investor will generally not be liable to pay any U.K. tax on dividends paid by LumiraDx (on the basis that any tax liability is limited to tax which is deemed to have been paid by such an investor on a non-repayable basis).

An investor resident outside the U.K. may also be subject to non-U.K. taxation on dividend income under local law. Any such investor should consult his or her own tax adviser concerning his or her tax position on dividends received from LumiraDx.

An individual U.K. investor who has been resident for tax purposes in the U.K. but who ceases to be so resident or becomes treated as resident outside the U.K. for the purposes of a double tax treaty for a period of five years or less and who receives or becomes entitled to dividends from LumiraDx during that period of temporary non-residence may, if LumiraDx is treated as a close company for U.K. tax purposes and certain other conditions are met, be liable for income tax on those dividends on his or her return to the U.K.

Taxation of Disposals

A disposal or deemed disposal of LMDX common shares by an investor who is resident in the U.K. for tax purposes may, depending upon the investor’s circumstances and subject to any available exemption or relief (such as the annual exempt amount for individuals), give rise to a chargeable gain or an allowable loss for the purposes of U.K. taxation of capital gains. In general terms, a gain or loss will be calculated by reference to the difference between the sale proceeds and any allowable costs and expenses, including the original acquisition cost of the LMDX common shares.

(i) U.K. Resident Individual Investors

For an individual investor within the charge to U.K. capital gains tax, a disposal (or deemed disposal) of LMDX common shares may give rise to a chargeable gain or an allowable loss for the purposes of capital gains tax. The rate of capital gains tax on disposal of shares is currently 10% for individuals who are subject to income tax at the basic rate and 20% for individuals who are subject to income tax at the higher or additional rates. An individual investor is entitled to realize an annual exempt amount of gains (currently expected to be £12,300 per tax year until April 2026 without being liable to U.K. capital gains tax. The capital gains tax rate on share disposals is currently 20% for trustees.

(ii) U.K. Resident Corporate Investors

For an investor within the charge to U.K. corporation tax, a disposal or deemed disposal of LMDX common shares may give rise to a chargeable gain at the rate of corporation tax applicable to that investor (currently 19% for companies paying the main rate of corporation tax, expected to increase to 25% from April 1, 2023) or an allowable loss for the purposes of U.K. corporation tax.

(iii) Non-U.K. Resident Investors

Investors who are not resident in the U.K. will not generally be subject to U.K. taxation of capital gains on the disposal or deemed disposal of LMDX common shares unless they are carrying on a trade, profession or vocation in the U.K. through a branch or agency (or, in the case of a corporate investor, a permanent establishment) in connection with which the LMDX common shares are used, held or acquired. Non-U.K. tax resident investors may be subject to non-U.K. taxation on any gain under local law.

273

An individual investor who has been resident for tax purposes in the U.K. but who ceases to be so resident or becomes treated as Treaty non-resident for a period of five years or less and who disposes of all or part of his or her LMDX common shares during that period may be liable to capital gains tax on his or her return to the U.K., subject to any available exemptions or reliefs.

U.K. Stamp Duty and U.K. Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (“SDRT”)

It is expected that no U.K. stamp duty or SDRT should be payable on the issuance of LMDX common shares.

With respect to SDRT, provided that LMDX common shares are not registered in any register kept or maintained in the U.K. by or on behalf of us and are not paired with any shares or marketable securities issued by a U.K. incorporated company, the issue or transfer of (or agreement to transfer) LMDX common shares should not be subject to SDRT. We currently do not intend that any register of LMDX common shares will be kept or maintained in the U.K.

In relation to U.K. stamp duty, there remains a technical possibility that a transfer of LMDX common shares may be subject to U.K. stamp duty if executed in the U.K., or in relation to any property, matter or thing done or to be done in the U.K. However, in practice we would not expect such a charge to arise.

Taxation of LumiraDx

LumiraDx is treated as a fiscally opaque company from a U.K. tax perspective, and is resident in the U.K., for tax purposes due to being centrally managed and controlled in the U.K. Accordingly, LumiraDx is generally subject to U.K. corporation tax on its worldwide profits. It is the intention of LumiraDx to conduct the affairs of LumiraDx so that the central management and control of LumiraDx is exercised in the U.K. and that, accordingly, LumiraDx will be treated as resident in the U.K. for tax purposes. The foregoing information is based on the assumption that LumiraDx will be resident in the U.K. for tax purposes.

Certain Material Cayman Islands Tax Considerations

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty or withholding tax applicable to us or to any holder of our common shares. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or after execution brought within, the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. No stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on the issue of shares by, or any transfers of shares of, Cayman Islands companies (except those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands). The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of the common shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of the common shares, nor will gains derived from the disposal of the common shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

As described above, as an exempted company, the company has received a tax exemption certificate from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands pursuant to the Tax Concessions Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands, containing an undertaking that in the event of any change to the foregoing, the company, for a period of 20 years from the date of the grant of the undertaking, will not be chargeable to tax in the Cayman Islands on its income or its capital gains arising in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

274

Conversion of the LMDX Ordinary Shares

Under the Amended and Restated Articles, subject to certain exceptions, the LMDX ordinary shares must be converted into LMDX common shares before being transferred and no conversion can occur, apart from in the Limited Circumstances (summarized in the section titled “Description of LumiraDx’s Securities” beginning on page 238)) or in exceptional circumstances approved by our board of directors, or where the Early Conversion Conditions are satisfied, for the 180-day period following the Closing Date. The LMDX ordinary shares will convert into LMDX common shares on a 1:1 basis which will be implemented by a redesignation of the LMDX ordinary shares into LMDX common shares in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles. On redesignation, each LMDX ordinary share to be converted shall become an LMDX common share with the rights, privileges, terms and obligations of the class of LMDX common shares (as set out in the Amended and Restated Articles) and the converted LMDX common shares shall thenceforth form part of the class of the LMDX common shares (and shall cease to form part of the class of LMDX ordinary shares for all purposes hereof). The redesignation of existing LMDX ordinary shares into LMDX common shares as described above is not expected to result in any adverse tax consequences for the Company.

Dividends

CAH did not pay any dividends to its stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2020.

LumiraDx

Market Price of Ordinary Shares

Historical market price information regarding LumiraDx is not provided because there is no public market for its securities.

Holders

As of March 31, 2021, the number of record holders of (i) LMDX ordinary shares was 320; (ii) LMDX series A preferred shares was 260; (iii) LMDX series B preferred shares was 32; and (iv) LMDX common shares was zero.

Dividend Policy

LumiraDx has never declared or paid any cash dividend on the LMDX ordinary shares or the LMDX common shares, and, following the completion of the Merger, does not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on the LMDX ordinary shares or LMDX common shares in the foreseeable future. LumiraDx intends to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the commercialization of its products and expansion of its business.

LumiraDx is a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of its own. As a result, LumiraDx is dependent upon cash dividends, distributions and other transfers from its subsidiaries to make dividend payments, and such subsidiaries may be restricted in their ability to pay dividends or distributions, or make other transfers to us. In addition, the terms of the Senior Secured Loan preclude LumiraDx from paying cash dividends to its shareholders without the consent of Pharmakon.

276

However, if LumiraDx does pay a cash dividend on the LMDX common shares or LMDX ordinary shares in the future, it may only pay such dividend out of its profits available for distribution or (subject to applicable solvency requirements) share premium or contributed surplus under Cayman Islands law. LumiraDx’s board of directors will have complete discretion regarding the declaration and payment of dividends, and the LMDX Founder Directors will be able to influence its dividend policy. The amount of any future dividend payments we may make will depend on, among other factors, our strategy, future earnings, financial condition, cash flow, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, contractual restrictions and applicable provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles.

277

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Neither CAH stockholders nor holders of CAH units or CAH warrants have appraisal rights under the DGCL in connection with the Merger.

SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

CAH’s board of directors is aware of no other matter that may be brought before the special meeting. Under Delaware law, only business that is specified in the notice of special meeting to stockholders may be transacted at the special meeting.

FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

If the Merger is completed, shareholders of LumiraDx will be entitled to attend and participate in LumiraDx’s annual general meetings of shareholders. LumiraDx will provide notice of the date on which its annual general meeting will be held in accordance with the Amended and Restated Articles.

OTHER STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

Stockholders and interested parties may communicate with CAH’s board of directors, any committee chairperson or the non-management directors as a group by writing to the board or committee chairperson in care of CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp., 99 Summer Street, Suite 200, Boston, MA 02110. Following the Merger, such communications should be sent in care of LumiraDx at LumiraDx Inc. 221 Crescent Street. 5th Floor, Waltham, MA 02453. Each communication will be forwarded, depending on the subject matter, to the board of directors, the appropriate committee chairperson or all non-management directors.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

LumiraDx is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. In addition, many of its directors and officers reside outside of the United States and LumiraDx’s assets and those of its non-U.S. subsidiaries are located outside of the United States. LumiraDx is incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands corporation, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws that provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to the securities laws of the United States. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

LumiraDx’s agent for service of process in the United States is LumiraDx Inc., and the executive offices of LumiraDx Inc. are located at 221 Crescent St., Waltham, Massachusetts 02453, telephone number (556) 400-0874.

Appleby (Cayman) Ltd, or Appleby, LumiraDx’s counsel as to Cayman Islands law has respectively advised LumiraDx that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would, (1) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against LumiraDx or its directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (2) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against LumiraDx or its directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Furthermore, Appleby has advised LumiraDx that, as of the date of this prospectus, no treaty or other form of reciprocity exists between the Cayman Islands and United States governing the recognition and enforcement of judgments.

Appleby has informed LumiraDx that the uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law relates to whether a judgment obtained from the United States courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman company. As the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on whether such judgments are penal or punitive in nature, it is uncertain whether they would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands.

Appleby has further advised LumiraDx that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, a judgment obtained in the United States will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment (1) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (2) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (3) is final, (4) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty and (5) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholder and Board of Directors of

CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the period from October 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from October 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s ability to execute its business plan is dependent upon its completion of the proposed initial public offering described in Note 3 to the financial statements. The Company has a working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2020 and lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Notes 1 and 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

CA HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

I.	DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on October 7, 2020 (inception). The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from October 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation and the Proposed Public Offering (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands.

The Company’s ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through a proposed initial public offering of 10,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (or 11,500,000 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) which is discussed in Note 3 (the “Proposed Public Offering”) and the sale of 4,050,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant that will close in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, CA Healthcare Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company controlled by certain of the Company’s officers, directors and advisors (the “Sponsor”), simultaneously with the closing of the Proposed Public Offering (as described in Note 3). The Company intends to list the Units on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”).

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Proposed Public Offering and sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Nasdaq rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement to enter a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Proposed Public Offering, management has agreed that $10.00 per Unit sold in the Proposed Public Offering, including the certain proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, will be held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any money market funds meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S, government treasury obligations until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means

F-7

of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the representative of the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. These shares of Class A common stock will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Proposed Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

If a stockholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed (a) to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Proposed Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares (including the Founder Shares) and Private Placement Warrants (including underlying securities) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company does not seek stockholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants (including underlying securities) shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsor will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Proposed Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of

F-8

then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirement of applicable law. The representative of the underwriters has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Proposed Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the day of liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the Trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Proposed Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Going Concern Consideration

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $9,500 in cash and a working capital deficit of approximately $118,000. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. Management’s plans to address this need for capital through the Proposed Public Offering. The Company cannot assure that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful. In addition, management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and its effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or closing the initial public offering or search for a target company.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from its inability to consummate the Proposed Public Offering or its inability to continue as a going concern.

II.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its anticipated obligations over the next year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going

F-9

concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company has access to funds from the Sponsor that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the earlier of the consummation of the Proposed Public Offering or one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirement of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020.

Deferred offering costs

Deferred offering costs consisted of legal, accounting and underwriting fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Proposed Public Offering and that will be charged to stockholder’s equity upon the completion of the Proposed Public Offering. Should the Proposed Public Offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses incurred, will be charged to operations.

Income taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences

F-10

attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The Company’s tax provision was deemed de minimis for the period from October 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020.

Net loss per common share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period (after deducting 375,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor in connection with a Proposed Public Offering, as described in Notes 4 and 6), plus, to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock method. At December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. At December 31, 2020, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

When the Company issues warrants, the classification of such instruments are evaluated to determine if they fall within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instrument’s settlement provisions. The Company utilizes appropriate methodologies that value the derivative liability. The Company utilizes the fair value standard set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The warrant derivative liability is adjusted to its fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change being recorded as expense or gain.

F-11

Recently issued accounting standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

III. PROPOSED PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Proposed Public Offering, the Company offered for sale 10,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

IV. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On October 28, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. Of these, up to 375,000 shares are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the initial stockholders will own 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Proposed Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Proposed Public Offering and excluding the Private Placement Warrants and underlying securities).

The Company’s initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Warrants

In connection with the Proposed Public Offering, the Sponsor has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 4,050,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($4.05 million in the aggregate), in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Proposed Public Offering. In accordance with ASC 815-40-05, these warrants will be classified as a liability adjusted to their fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change being recorded as expense or gain.

Promissory Note—Related Party

On October 28, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Proposed Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan is non-interest bearing and is due on the earlier of March 31, 2021 or the completion of the Proposed Public Offering. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had borrowed approximately $134,000 under the terms of the Note. The loan balance was repaid in full on January 29, 2021.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company

F-12

funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of notes may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.

V. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, close of the Proposed Public Offering and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Proposed Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. The registration rights agreement will not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company will grant the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Proposed Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The underwriters will be entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Public Offering, or $2.0 million in the aggregate (or approximately $2.3 million if the underwriters’ overallotment option is exercised in full). In addition, the representative of the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of 3.5% of the Proposed Public Offering, or approximately $3.5 million in the aggregate (or approximately $4.02 million if the underwriters’ overallotment option is exercised in full). The deferred fee will become payable to the representative of the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

VI. STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock. At December 31, 2020, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A, $0.0001 par value common stock. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2020, there were no shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding.

F-13

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Class B, $0.0001 par value common stock. At December 31, 2020, there were 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, of which up to 375,000 shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full, so that the Sponsor will own 20% of the issued and outstanding shares after the Proposed Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Units in the Proposed Public Offering).

Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Proposed Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Proposed Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).

Warrants — The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the consummation of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering, provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of such initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the

F-14

Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (excluding the Private Placement Warrants):

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, which we refer to as the 30-day redemption period; and

•

if, and only if, the last sale price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Proposed Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants will, and the common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not, be transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. In accordance with ASC 815-40-05, these warrants will be classified as a liability adjusted to their fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change being recorded as expense or gain.

F-15

VII. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date up to January 8, 2021, the date of the financial statements were issued require potential adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements and has concluded that all such events that would require adjustment or disclosure have been recognized or disclosed.

On April 12, 2021, the SEC issued a statement with respect to the accounting for warrants issued by special purchase acquisition companies. In light of the SEC Staff’s statement, the Company has determined that the fair value of the warrants should be classified as a warrant liability on the Company’s financial statements. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the warrants will be recorded in the Company’s statement of operations.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

These consolidated financial statements are the annual financial statements of LumiraDx Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) (“the Financial Statements”).

The Company is an exempted company limited by shares incorporated in the Cayman Islands (registered number 314391) with registered offices situated at the offices of Ocorian Trust (Cayman) Limited, PO Box 1350, Windward 3, Regatta Office Park,, Grand Cayman KY1-1108. The subsidiaries of the Company are listed in Note 9.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation of Financial Statements

The Financial Statements of LumiraDx Limited have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Board on April 6, 2021.

The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated Financial Statements, are disclosed in Note 3.

LumiraDx Limited was incorporated on August 24, 2016. On September 29, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of LumiraDx Holdings Limited in a share for share exchange. LumiraDx Holdings Limited was incorporated on September 1, 2014. The consolidated Financial Statements of LumiraDx Limited have been prepared as if the share exchange had occurred on September 1, 2014 to reflect the continuous operations of the Company.

Going concern

Notwithstanding net liabilities of $375,216 as of December 31, 2020 (2019: $152,829), a loss for the year then ended of $240,997 (2019: $133,109), and operating cash outflows of $149,327 (2019: $91,755), the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons.

The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements (“the going concern period”), which indicate that, taking account reasonably possible downsides, the Group will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.

The Group currently meets its day-to-day working capital requirements primarily from cash raised through the issuance of debt and equity securities (Notes 16 and 17). In January 2021 the Group drew an additional $35 million on its 2020 Senior Secured Loan and issued an additional $40 million in senior notes on the same terms as the Senior Secured Loan. On March 23, 2021, the Group refinanced the $100 million in outstanding amounts under the 2020 Senior Secured Loan and the $40 million borrowed in January 2021 with a $300 million loan.

F-23

The loan matures in three years and bears interest at 8% annually, paid quarterly. Even taking account of reasonable possible downsides, the Group forecasts that it will be able to meet financial covenants (including revenue covenants) associated with the $300 million loan. With the Group’s existing cash balances and the committed amounts, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

The Group does expect it will require additional capital to reach profitability and the directors expect to raise this capital through fundraising activities in the future. However, even taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the Group will not require additional capital before the end of the going concern period. The Group has consistently been successful in raising capital to support the development of the business and expects to be able to continue to raise the funds required to reach profitability and achieve a sustainable level of cash generation.

The Group has separately assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its ability to continue its operations. Future adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic may include, but are not limited to, employees contracting the disease, employees being unable to perform their normal duties during government imposed lock downs, difficulty in recruiting new employees, reduced access and operating hours at our laboratories and manufacturing facilities and at those similar facilities of our key partners, reduced access to clinical trial sites to conduct the necessary regulatory studies to launch and market new products and overall disruptions to the global supply chain for critical goods. However, the Group has seen increased overall demand around diagnostic products, including diagnostic tests related to the virus, and does not expect a reduction in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consequently, the directors are confident that the Group will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Note 22 to the Financial Statements includes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital, its financial risk management objectives and its exposure to credit and liquidity risk.

2.2 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated Financial Statements consolidate the Financial Statements of LumiraDx Limited and its subsidiary undertakings made up to December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

F-24

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with IAS 39 in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group’s accounting policies.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the Group.

2.3 Investments

The major investments of the Group are listed in Note 9. Ownership interests equal voting rights.

The Group assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable. If any such indication of impairment exists, the Group makes an estimate of the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the value of the investment, the investment is considered to be impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Any impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.

2.4 Changes in accounting policy and disclosure

In 2020 the Group did not implement, nor were they aware of, any new accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

2.5 Revenue recognition

The Group’s revenue is generated primarily from the sale of diagnostic products, including instruments and consumables. The Group’s services revenue includes the maintenance on software licenses, access to hosted cloud offerings and training, support and other services related to the Group’s diagnostic products.

Revenue from the sale or lease of goods and services rendered are recognized when a promise in a customer contract (“performance obligation”) has been satisfied by transferring control of the promised goods and services to the customer. Control of a promised good or service refers to the ability to direct the use of, and to obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, those goods or services. Control is usually transferred upon shipment or upon receipt of goods by the customer, or as services are rendered, in accordance with the delivery and acceptance terms agreed with the customers. The amount of revenue to be recognized (“transaction price”) is based on the consideration the Group expects to receive in exchange for its goods and services, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as value added taxes or other taxes directly linked to sales. If a contract contains more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices.

The determination of the standalone selling price requires judgment. The Group’s determination of the standalone selling price for each performance obligation varies based on the geography and customer type. Generally, the standalone selling prices are based on observable prices. When observable prices are not available, the standalone selling price for products and services and for determination of amounts allocated for lease consideration in contracts with customers is based on a cost-plus margin approach.

F-25

2.6 Research and development

Expenditure on research and development activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The Group will capitalize development expenditures once the Group incurs expenditures related to technologies or products under development with proven technical feasibility. The development projects undertaken by the Group are subject to technical, regulatory and other uncertainties, such that, technical feasibility is deemed not to have been met prior to obtaining marketing approval by the regulatory authorities in major markets.

2.7 Foreign Currency Translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in each of the Financial Statements of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The Group Financial Statements are presented in U.S. Dollars which is the Group’s presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where such items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of profit and loss and comprehensive income. All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within Finance income and Finance expense.

(c) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

•

assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position;

•

income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

•

all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

2.8 Property, Plant and Equipment

All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

F-26

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss and Comprehensive Income during the financial period in which they are incurred. No depreciation is charged on assets in the course of construction ahead of their productive use.

Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

•

Land and buildings—length of the lease up to 15 years

•

Plant and equipment—3-15 years

•

Fixtures and fittings—3-7 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss and Comprehensive Income.

2.9 Right-of-Use Assets

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of a contract. The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate which is based on the Group’s recent borrowings.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:

•

fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives;

•

variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;

•

the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

•

the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and

•

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The Group remeasures the lease liability, making a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:

•

the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

F-27

•

the lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is measured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).

•

a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

The Group did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Whenever the Group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognized and measured under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The costs are included in the related right-of-use asset, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The Group applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in Note 2.10 (d).

Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are recorded as an operating expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Comprehensive Income.

As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Group has not used this practical expedient.

2.10 Intangible assets

(a) Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured at fair value is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash generating units (“CGUs”), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the

F-28

entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level. Currently the Group operates in a single segment and the goodwill is assessed at a single CGU.

Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of the CGU containing the goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.

(b) Patents

Acquired patents and patent applications are shown at acquired cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization will be calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost of patents over their estimated useful economic lives, calculated as the lower of management’s estimated useful life or the time remaining on the granted patent, once brought into use.

(c) Intangible assets acquired in a Business Combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately. Separately recognized intangible assets comprise customer relationships and contracts, supplier relationships, technology and software. Amortization is calculated either using the straight line method or over the asset’s economic useful life based on cash flow projections. Customer related intangibles and supplier relationships are amortized over 7 to 10 years. Technology and software are amortized over 8 to 10 years.

(d) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Assets not ready for use are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2.11 Financial instruments

(a) Classification

The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following categories (as disclosed in Note 22): amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss (equity investments).

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost comprise trade and other payables, loans and other financial liabilities.

(b) Recognition and Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the

F-29

financial asset. Subsequently, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost (with the exception of equity investments which are measured at fair value through profit or loss) using the effective interest method less a provision for impairment.

The Group’s financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables, notes payable and preferred shares. These financial instruments are assessed under IFRS 9, to determine if the instrument qualifies to be accounted for under the fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) method or at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities held at amortized cost are initially recognized at the amount to be required to be paid, less, when material, a discount to reduce the payables to fair value. Financing costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the financing. If the costs relate to more than one element of a financing transactions, the financing costs are recorded as a proportional reduction of the proceeds of the separate elements. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities held at FVTPL are initially recognised at fair value. After initial recognition, these financial liabilities are re-measured at FVTPL using an appropriate valuation technique.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within twelve months. Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

(c) Derecognition

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

Derecognition also takes place for certain assets when the Group write-off balances pertaining to the assets deemed to be uncollectible.

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. Where there has been a significant modification of a financial liability the Group derecognizes the original financial liability and recognizes the modified liability at fair value with any difference between the amortized cost of the derecognized liability and the fair value of the modified liability being recognized in comprehensive income.

(d) Impairment of financial assets

At each statement of financial position date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that financial assets are impaired. Financial assets are impaired when objective evidence demonstrates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and the loss event has an impact on the future cash flows of the asset that can be estimated reliably.

For the loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred), discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount is reduced, and the loss is recognized in the income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the impairment loss is reversed through the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Comprehensive Income.

F-30

Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a Group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for financial assets measured at amortized cost.

For trade and other receivables, the Group measures the allowance for doubtful accounts at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

Financial assets are written off (either partially or in full) when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the customer does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off.

2.12 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of finished goods, work in process includes raw materials, direct labor and other directly attributable costs and overheads based upon the normal capacity of production facilities. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less cost to completion and selling expenses.

2.13 Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are carried at the original invoiced amount less allowances made for doubtful accounts, trade discounts, cash discounts and similar allowances. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for expected credit losses over the term of the receivables. These are based on specific indicators, such as the ageing of customer balances and other specific credit circumstances. Trade and other receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group applies the simplified approach prescribed by IFRS 9, which requires / permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision from initial recognition of the receivables.

2.14 Cash and cash equivalents

In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, deposits held at call with banks and bank overdrafts. In the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, bank overdrafts, if any, are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

2.15 Restricted cash

Restricted cash consist of deposits that are required as collateral for letters of credit for vendor deposits.

2.16 Trade and other payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

F-31

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.17 Provisions and charges

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The present value of the liability is remeasured at the reporting date.

2.18 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Comprehensive Income in the period in which they are incurred.

2.19 Share capital

Ordinary Shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of equity instruments are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds, net of tax. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of equity instruments as consideration for the acquisition of a business are included in the cost of acquisition. The Company’s Series A Preferred Shares have been classified as a compound financial instrument as described in Note 16. The Company’s Series B Preferred Shares have been classified as financial liability held at FVTPL.

On February 1, 2021 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock split of the issued and outstanding A Ordinary and common shares of the Company on a 220 for 1 basis. In accordance with IAS 33, the earnings per share calculations have been presented for the stock split retrospectively.

2.20 Share based payment

The Company operates equity-settled, share-based compensation plans under which the entity receives services or other consideration from employees and other unrelated parties for equity instruments of the Company. The fair value of the services and consideration received in exchange for the grant of options is recognized as an expense and as a component of equity. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.

2.21 Taxation

The tax expense or credit comprises current and deferred tax. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date. Subsidiaries within the Group may be eligible for tax credits related to qualifying research and development expenditures. The Group records an asset as a reduction in tax expense when it determines the receipt of a tax credit is probable.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction, which affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

F-32

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

2.22 Pension Obligations

The Group makes contributions to defined contribution pension plans for employees. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are paid. In 2020 expenses for the Group’s defined contribution plans were $1,569 (2019: $1,061).

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the financial statements are described below.

Revenue Recognition

The Group’s sales transactions may consist of various performance obligations that are satisfied at different times. It requires judgment to determine when different obligations are satisfied, including whether enforceable commitments for further obligations exist and when they arise. Depending on the determination of the performance obligations and the point in time or period over which those obligations are fulfilled, this may result in all revenue being calculated at inception, and either being recognized at once or on contract completion or spread over the term of a longer performance obligation.

In the accounting for contracts that contain promises to deliver more than one good or service, the Group has to determine how to allocate the total transaction price to the performance obligations of the contract. The Group allocates the total transaction price of a customer contract to the distinct performance obligations under the contract based on their standalone selling prices. The best evidence of this is an observable price from the standalone sales of the good or service to similarly situated customers. However, where standalone selling prices are not observable, it requires judgment to estimate the cost of satisfying a performance obligation and adding an appropriate margin to that good or service.

F-33

Nonrecurring valuations

The Group’s nonrecurring valuations are primarily associated with (i) the application of acquisition accounting and (ii) impairment assessments, both of which require fair value determinations as of the applicable valuation date. In making these determinations, the Group is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts, including, but not limited to expected future cash flows, and discount rates, and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets. To assist in making these fair value determinations, the Group may engage third party valuation specialists. Estimates in this area impact, among other items, the amount of depreciation and amortization, impairment charges and income tax expense or credit. Estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain. A significant portion of our long-lived assets were initially recorded through the application of acquisition accounting and all of our long-lived assets are subject to impairment assessments.

The Group regularly review whether changes to estimated useful lives are required in order to accurately reflect the economic use of our intangible assets with finite lives.

The Group had net intangible assets of $26,142 and $24,732 as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Management has reviewed the estimated value as of December 31, 2020.

Share-Based Payments

The Group operates equity-settled, share-based compensation plans under which the Group receives services or other consideration from employees and other unrelated parties for our equity instruments. The fair value of the services and consideration received in exchange for the grant of options is recognized as an expense and as a component of equity. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. The fair value of the share options was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model. No performance conditions were included in the fair value calculations.

Fair Value of Share Options

The fair value of each award on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility, the risk-free rate, expected life and the dividend yield. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of several comparable companies in the same industry. The expected life is based on the longer of each tranche’s respective weighted-average vesting term or the expected term to a liquidity event. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the market yield of U.S. Treasury Bonds in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is based on the Company’s expected dividend policy over the contractual life of the options.

The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the share options granted are as follows:


	2019	2020
Grant date fair value ($)	1,016.18 to 1,134.25	1,634.31 to 3,861
Exercise price ($)	1,269.283 to 1,793.38	1,793.38 to 3,861
Volatility	40-45%	35-40%
Dividend yield	—	—
Expected life of option (years)	2.5-2.75	2-2.5
Annual risk free interest rate	1.8 - 2.6%	0.2-1.6%

Total fair value of options granted	$2,930,000	$6,716,000

F-34

Fair Value of Ordinary Shares

The Group utilizes the fair value of ordinary shares when determining the fair value of financial instruments including the 2020 Convertible Notes and Series B preferred shares as well as determining the fair value of the ordinary shares underlying its options when performing the fair value calculations with the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Therefore, the directors have estimated the fair value of the Group’s ordinary shares at various dates, with input from management, considering the third-party valuations of ordinary shares. The valuations of ordinary shares were performed using methodologies, approaches and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Practice Aid Series: Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, or the AICPA Practice Guide. In addition, the directors considered various objective and subjective factors, along with input from management and the independent third-party valuation firm, to determine the fair value of ordinary shares, including: external market conditions affecting the industry, trends within the industry, the results of operations, financial position, status of our research and development efforts, our stage of development and business strategy, and the lack of an active public market for the Group’s ordinary shares, and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event such as an initial public offering, or IPO.

The valuations of the Group’s ordinary shares were prepared using an option pricing method, or OPM, and a probability-weighted expected return method, or PWERM. The PWERM is a scenario-based methodology that estimates the fair value of ordinary shares based upon an analysis of future values for the Group, assuming various outcomes. The ordinary shares’ value is based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns considering each of the possible outcomes available, as well as the rights of each share class. The future value of the ordinary shares under each outcome is discounted back to the valuation date at an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate and probability weighted to arrive at an indication of value for the ordinary shares. The OPM treats ordinary shares and preferred shares as call options on the total equity value of a company, with exercise prices based on the value thresholds at which the allocation among the various holders of a company’s securities changes. Under this method, the ordinary shares have value only if the funds available for distribution to shareholders exceeded the value of the preferred share liquidation preferences at the time of the liquidity event, such as a strategic sale or a merger. A discount for lack of marketability of the ordinary shares is then applied to arrive at an estimate of value for the ordinary shares.

In addition to considering the results of these third-party valuations, the directors considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of ordinary shares as of each grant date, including:

•

the prices at which the Group issued ordinary and preferred shares and the superior rights and preferences of the preferred shares relative to the ordinary shares at the time of each grant;

•

the progress of the Group’s research and development programs;

•

the stage of development and the Group’s business strategy;

•

external market conditions affecting the Group’s industry and trends within the industry;

•

the Group’s financial position, including cash on hand, and historical and forecasted performance and operating results;

•

the lack of an active public market for the Group’s ordinary shares and preferred shares;

•

the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an IPO, in light of prevailing market conditions; and

•

the analysis of IPOs and the market performance of similar companies in the Group’s industry.

The Group utilizes the fair value of its Ordinary shares when determining the fair value of financial instruments including the 2020 Convertible Notes (Note 17) and Series B Preferred Shares (Note 16), as well as determining the Group estimates.

F-35

The assumptions underlying these valuations represented management’s best estimates, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if the assumptions or estimates used had been significantly different, the fair value of ordinary shares and share-based payment expense could be materially different.

Product Reserves

The Group provides standard commercial warranties on its products. Separately, the Group also periodically performs field service actions related to safety matters and other product campaigns. Pursuant to these warranties and field service actions, the Group will repair or replace products that are defective in materials or workmanship. The Group accrues the estimated cost of both base warranty coverages and field service actions at the time of sale.

The Group maintains an allowance for excess or obsolete inventories. The allowance is based on a review of inventory materials on hand, which the Group compares with estimated future usage. In addition, the Group reviews the inventories and compares parts costs with current market value and writes down any parts with costs in excess of current market value to net realizable value.

These estimates take into consideration historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends such as competitive pricing and new product introductions, estimated inventory levels, and the shelf life of products. As 2020 was the first year of significant sales of its diagnostic platform, the Group has limited history to make these estimates. If actual future results vary, these estimates may need to be adjusted, with an effect on sales and earnings in the period of the adjustment. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Provisions for warranties of $6,557 (2019: nil) and inventories of $13,186 (2019: $134) are recorded in the balance sheet within trade and other payables, and inventory, respectively (Note 20).

Total Revenue	$	22,157	$	985	$	23,142	$	138,291	$	862	$	139,153

Revenue from diagnostic products is recognized at the time the performance obligations are met. Service revenue is recognized over the contractual term. Revenue from other sources represents lease revenue on instruments.

Contract Balances

The account receivables balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is $83,941 and $6,312, respectively. Service revenue is typically billed in advance giving rise to a contract liability balance. The deferred balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is $1,760 and $2,639, respectively. As the Company generally recognizes revenue as it is billed for product revenue, the Company does not have other material contract asset or liability balances as of December 31, 2020.

F-36

Remaining performance obligations in (partially) unsatisfied long-term contracts:


	DEFERRED REVENUE 2019			DEFERRED REVENUE 2020

Recognized revenue from current year invoicing		(1,256	)		(1,131	)
Foreign exchange impact		216			91

Balance at end of the period		2,639			1,760

Remaining performance obligations in (partially) unsatisfied long-term contracts are included in deferred revenue. For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Group has elected the practical expedient to not disclose the transaction price for remaining performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and at which point in time the Company expects to recognize these sales.

5. SEGMENTS

Basis for segmentation:

The CEO is the Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The regular internal reporting to the CEO, which fulfils the criteria to constitute a segment, is done for the Group as a whole, and therefore the total Group is the company’s only segment.

Revenue from external customers by country, based on the location of the customer is as follows:

A reduction in the U.K. corporation tax rate from 19% to 17% (effective from April 1, 2020) was substantively enacted on September 6, 2016, and the U.K. deferred tax asset at December 31, 2019 has been calculated based on this rate. In the March 3, 2021 budget, it was announced that the U.K. tax rate will increase to 25% from April 1, 2023. This will not have a consequential effect on the Group’s recognized deferred taxes, however the Group has substantial unrecognized UK net operating losses (Note 19).

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share has been calculated by dividing the loss for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders of $240,980 (2019: $132,807), by the weighted average number of A Ordinary shares outstanding of 82,206,300 (2019: 81,935,700) during the year ended December 31, 2020:

On February 1, 2021 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock split of the issued and outstanding A Ordinary and common shares of the Company on a 220 for 1 basis. The denominator has been calculated to reflect the share split.

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options, convertible preferred shares, convertible notes and warrants, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of A Ordinary shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to A Ordinary shareholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential A Ordinary shares and common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders and common shareholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

Impairment Review—Goodwill

The Group operates as a single cash generating unit with respect to goodwill. The recoverable amount of the goodwill has been calculated with reference to the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the cash generating unit (value in use). In calculating this value, management have used the following assumptions:

•

Five years of cash flow projections are based on the Group’s long term financial projections, including the launch and commercialization of its new diagnostic products and services

•

A terminal value based on a perpetual growth rate of 3% for free cash flow

•

A discount rate of 25% calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 1.5% and appropriate market risk and small company specific risk premiums

Reasonable changes in the discount rate or perpetual growth rate would not lead to an impairment.

Impairment Review—Intangible Assets

Whilst the Group has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, there are intangible assets not yet available for use. These represent elements of the underlying technology which will ultimately support the Group’s future product launches.

The recoverable amount of the assets have been calculated with reference to the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the assets (value in use). In calculating this value, management have used the following assumptions:

•

Five years of cash flow projections are based on the Group’s long term financial projections, including the launch and commercialization of products and services related to the underlying technology.

•

A discount rate of 25% calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 1.5% and appropriate market risk and small company specific risk premiums

Reasonable changes in the discount rate would not lead to an impairment.

The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into A Ordinary shares at the option of the holder and mandatorily convertible into A Ordinary shares upon listing on a public market at a price above the liquidation preference and accrued and unpaid dividends. Each Series A Preferred Share, including any accrued dividends, is convertible into one A Ordinary share.

The Series A Preferred Shares accrue an 8% cumulative annual dividend until the earlier of (i) the date seven years from their issue (ii) the date the Preferred Shares are converted in accordance with their terms or (iii) the date the Company is liquidated. No dividends will be paid on the A Ordinary Shares for so long as the Preferred Shares are in issue.

The Series A Preferred Shares carry a preferential right to share in the proceeds of a liquidation of the Company, and will rank senior to the A Ordinary Shares and the Common Shares of the Company on liquidation.

Each of the Series A Preferred Shares shall automatically convert to A Ordinary Shares in connection with an IPO or sale of the Company, provided that the value of an A Ordinary Share at that time is not less than the aggregate of the issue price of such Preferred Share and the dividend accrued on each such Preferred Share. Each Preferred Shareholder may convert their Preferred Shares to A Ordinary Shares at any time.

During 2018, the Company issued a total of 212,718 Series A Preferred Shares. Loan Noteholders of the Company’s 12% Loan Notes were given the opportunity to convert the proceeds of the prepayment of their Loan Notes to subscribe for Series A Preferred Shares. An amount of $39,672, representing the principal and accrued interest, was converted from Loan Notes into Preferred Shares. The issue date fair value of the conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Shares has been recorded as $47,264 in Other reserves (Note 14).

One of the investors in the Series A Preferred Shares had the right to subscribe for an additional $30,000 of Series A Preferred Shares on or before June 18, 2019 at the fair market value on the date of subscription. This option expired in 2019 without being exercised.

No dividends will be paid on the A Ordinary Shares for so long as the Preferred Shares are in issue.

The Series B Preferred Shares carry a preferential right to share in the proceeds of a liquidation of the Company, and will rank senior to the A Ordinary Shares and the Common Shares of the Company and pari passu with the Series A Preferred Shares on liquidation.

Each of the Series B Preferred Shares shall automatically convert to A Ordinary Shares in connection with an IPO or sale of the Company at a share price not more than the fully diluted share capital divided by $4 billion and not less than the fully diluted share capital divided by $6.4 billion. Each Preferred Shareholder may convert their Preferred Shares to A Ordinary Shares at any time.

The variable conversion feature constitutes an embedded derivative as the conversion feature is a component of the host instrument that would allow for the cash flows of the combined instrument to be changed according to the value of a financial variable. In accordance with IFRS 9, the Company has elected to record the entire instrument at fair value through profit or loss. The change in fair value of $9,351 has been charged to finance expenses.

During 2020, the Company issued a total of 33,008 Series B Preferred Shares for gross proceeds of $164.5 million

2020 Convertible Notes

In April 2020, the Company opened a 2020 Funding Round, pursuant to which it had received commitments from investors to lend funds to the Company up to the amount of $148.9 million in aggregate. The committed amounts were available for drawdown by the Company for the period (the “Call Option Period”) starting on July 1, 2020 and ending on October 31, 2020. Following a call of the funds and receipt of the committed amounts, the Company agreed to issue relevant Loan Note certificates (“2020 Convertible Notes”) to the Investors in respect of their relevant actual committed amounts. The relevant 2020 Convertible Notes shall be for a term of 360 days from the date of issue and shall entitle its holders to 10% interest from the date of issue of such 2020 Convertible Notes. Such interest will be paid on the date the relevant 2020 Convertible Notes are repaid.

In consideration for committing to lend their respective committed amounts to the Company, the Company agreed to pay to the relevant Investors agreeing to lend the Committed Amounts: (i) a commitment fee to be satisfied by the issue to such Investors of a total of up to a maximum of 16,528 warrants over common shares, to be allocated between such Investors based on their to their Actual Committed Amounts (the “Consideration Shares”) and (ii) cash fee, in aggregate, equivalent to one (1) per cent of the total aggregate amount raised by the Company pursuant to the Offer, to be allocated between the Investors pro?rata to their Actual Committed Amounts (the “Cash Fee”).

On 1 July 2020, the Company called and received $74.3 million of the committed amount. In November 2020 warrants for 16,528 shares were issued to the Investors and recorded in Other reserves in equity. These 2020 Convertible Notes will automatically convert into common shares upon an initial public offering at a share price not more than the fully diluted share capital divided by $1.8 billion and not less than the fully diluted share capital divided by $3.6 billion depending on the number of instruments sold during 2020.

2020 Senior Secured Loan

In October 2020, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan and security agreement (“2020 Senior Secured Loan”) to borrow up to $100 million.

The Company can draw an additional $35 million upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones.

The 2020 Senior Secured Loan is subject to an interest rate of 8.0% per annum payable in quarterly installments, which, under the terms of the 2020 Senior Secured Loan, was due to increase after January 31, 2021 if an “IPO” or “Qualifying Investment” was not completed before January 31, 2021. The issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares in November 2020 constitutes a “Qualifying Investment” for the purposes of the 2020 Senior Secured Loan, and therefore, the interest rate will remain at 8% per annum for the term of the 2020 Senior Secured Loan. The 2020 Senior Secured Loan also provides an ability to incur additional incremental term loans, or incremental term loans, in an aggregate amount of up to $150 million during the initial 12 month period on an uncommitted basis. The Senior Secured Loan matures October 5, 2022. Debt issuance costs were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds. The discount on the issuance will be recognized using the effective interest method until the maturity date of October 5, 2022.

In connection with the 2020 Senior Secured Loan, on November 6, 2020 the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,000 common shares at an exercise price equal to $4,644.96 per common share, recorded in Other Reserves (Note 14).

F-52

Deferred tax assets are recognized for tax losses carried forward to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The realization of the tax benefit related to losses in certain jurisdictions were determined to not be probable. As such, the Group did not recognize deferred tax assets of $80,822 for U.K. tax losses and $10,650 for U.S. tax losses and other temporary timing differences. The Group has material carried forward tax losses in the U.K. and U.S. Losses in the U.K. do not expire whereas losses in the U.S. expire on various dates up to 2036 if not utilized.

The utilization of the U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 due to ownership changes that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income. The Company has not yet completed an evaluation of ownership changes through December 31, 2019. To the extent an ownership change has occurred or does occurs in the future, the U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to limitation.

21. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

2019 Business Combinations

SureSensors Ltd.

On October 15, 2019, the Group acquired all outstanding shares in SureSensors Ltd. (“SureSensors”) from its shareholders. SureSensors is a specialty industrial printer and an existing supplier to the Group. The acquisition was completed to provide further control over and capacity for the Group’s manufacturing activities.

The aggregate purchase price to acquire control over SureSensors was $2,009, which consisted of a cash payment of $632 and 1,214 A Ordinary shares with an acquisition date fair value of $1,377.

Goodwill of $1,506 arising from the acquisition is attributable to the skilled assembled work force and expertise of SureSensors.

F-53

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for SureSensors and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:


Consideration at October 15, 2019
Cash consideration paid		632
Fair value of shares issued		1,377

Total consideration		2,009

Recognised amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	’000

Total identifiable net assets		503

Goodwill (Note 10)		1,506

Total		2,009

SureSensors’ accounts receivable is comprised of gross contractual amounts due of $132 which were all expected to be collectible at the date of acquisition.

In the period ended December 31, 2019 SureSensors contributed revenue of $nil and net loss (after tax) of $162 to the Group’s results. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019 management estimates that SureSensors would have contributed additional revenue of $nil and net loss (after tax) of $1,341. This information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of the combined Group that would have occurred had SureSensors been acquired at the beginning of the year or indicative of the future results of the combined Group.

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial liabilities not measured at fair value are calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows discounted at the market rate of interest at the balance sheet date.

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and cash flow and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Market risk

(a) Currency risk

The majority of the Group’s sales and purchase transactions are denominated in either U.S. dollars or U.K. pound sterling. The exchange risk is managed by maintaining bank accounts denominated in those currencies.

A 10% strengthening of the U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2020 would have had an impact of increasing the loss before tax for the period by $11,099 on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

The Group considers the impact of foreign currency risk to be not significant given the Group’s net balance sheet exposure.

F-54

The carrying amounts of the Group’s trade and other receivables are denominated in the following currencies:


	2019		2020
US Dollars		1,082		45,863
U.K. Pounds		5,323		46,093
Euros		2,193		10,825
Colombian Pesos		2,498		3,473
Swedish Krona		160		1,903
Brazilian Reals		1,002		900
Other		157		238

		12,415		109,295

(b)

Cash flow and interest rate risk

The Group mainly raises debt on a fixed rate basis for bonds and notes in U.S. dollars. The primary objective of the Group’s interest rate management is to protect the net interest result while managing the overall cost of borrowing.

The Group’s debt, including Preferred Shares, is carried at fixed interest rates.

Credit risk

Credit risk represents the risk of loss the Group would incur if operators and counterparties fail to fulfil their credit obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset. For banks and financial institutions, the Group maintains it accounts with major international banks with “A” ratings. Credit risk relating to accounts receivable balances are managed on a case-by-case basis.

At December 31, 2020 the Group has trade receivables of $83,941 (2019: $6,312). New clients are analyzed before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The credit quality of the customer is assessed taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. Management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties. Movement in the loss allowances against trade receivables is as follows:


Loss allowance as of January 1, 2019:	$	554
Loss allowance recognized during the year		606
Balances written off during the year		(456	)

Balances recovered during the year		(30	)

Loss allowance at December 31, 2019:		674
Loss allowance recognized during the year		119
Balances written off during the year		(132	)

Loss allowance at December 31, 2020:	$	661

At December 31, 2020 trade receivables of $3,581 (2019: $804) were past due but not impaired. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. The ageing analysis of these receivables is 3 months and above.

At December 31, 2020 trade receivables included two significant customers that accounted for 68% of the balance.

F-55

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled in cash. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group Finance. Group Finance monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. The Group may be reliant on its ability to raise additional investment capital from the issuance of both debt and equity securities to fund its business operating plans and future obligations. The Group believes it will continue to be successful in raising additional investment capital to meet its obligations.

27. EVENT AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

On 13 January 2021 the Company achieved the commercial milestone in the 2020 Senior Secured Loan and drew an additional $35 million on the 2020 Senior Secured Loan.

On 15 January 2021 the Group agreed to borrow $40 million in incremental term loans under and on substantially the same terms as the 2020 Senior Secured Loan.

On January 15, 2021, the Company granted “founder options” over ordinary shares to each of the three Founder Directors. Each Founder Director was granted a fully vested option over 14,800 ordinary shares. It is additionally proposed, subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of series A preferred shares, to grant each Founder Director a further option over 7,970 ordinary shares. These options will vest over a two year period subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions. In each instance, the exercise price of these options is equal an exercise price per ordinary share reflecting a Company valuation of $5.2 billion.

On February 1, 2021 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock split of the issued and outstanding A Ordinary and common shares of the Company on a 220 for 1 basis.

On March 23, 2021, the Group refinanced the $100 million in outstanding amounts under the 2020 Senior Secured Loan and the $40 million borrowed in January 2021 with a $300 million loan. The loan matures in three years and bears interest at 8% annually, paid quarterly.

On April 6, 2021 the Company entered into a merger agreement with CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp., a Special Purpose Acquisition Company. The contemplated transaction would provide all holders of preferred shares, A Ordinary shares and common shares to receive shares of the continuing public company. The proposed transaction is expected to be completed by the end of second quarter or beginning of the third quarter 2021, subject to, among other things, shareholder approval, satisfaction of the conditions stated in the merger and other customary closing conditions. There is no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.

(i) If after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time CAH pays a stock dividend in, splits, combines into a smaller number of shares, or issues by reclassification any shares of CAH Common Stock, then the Merger

Consideration will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of the CAH Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action, and as so adjusted will, from and after the date of such event, be the Merger Consideration, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this provision.

Section 2.3 Closing. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days, after the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 7 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, it being understood that the occurrence of the Closing shall remain subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of such conditions at the Closing), the Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated as set forth in Section 2.2 above. The closing (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson LLP, One New York Plaza, New York, New York 10004 or by electronic exchange of deliverables and release of signatures, for the purpose of confirming the satisfaction or waiver, as the case may be, of the conditions set forth in Article 7. The date on which the Closing shall occur is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

Section 2.4 Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to CAH to act as exchange agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Agent”). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) book-entry Company Common Shares representing the aggregate Merger Consideration with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of holders of record of shares of CAH Class A Common Stock to be canceled and extinguished and reissued to the Company as one share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock in consideration for the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.2. All book-entry Company Common Shares deposited with the Exchange Agent are referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 2.2, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day thereafter, the Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate (“Certificates”), in each case that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of CAH Class A Common Stock (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and which letter shall be in customary form and contain such other provisions as the Company and the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.2 (which instructions shall be in customary form and contain such other provisions as the Company and the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify). With respect to holders of book-entry shares in CAH (“Book-Entry Shares”), the parties shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Exchange Agent to allow the Exchange Agent to transmit, following the Effective Time, to such holders or their nominees, upon surrender of shares of CAH Class A Common Stock (including former shares of CAH Class B Common stock converted immediately prior to the Effective Time into shares of CAH Class A Common Stock), the Merger Consideration, to which such holders are entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Each holder of shares of CAH Class A Common Stock that have been canceled and extinguished and reissued to the Company as one share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock in consideration for a right to receive the Merger Consideration, upon proper surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and such other documents as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of Company Common Shares to which such holder of CAH Class A Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2 (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form), and the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. The Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to make all payments required pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as practicable following the valid surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Until surrendered as

contemplated by this Section 2.4, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2 in respect thereof, but shall not entitle its holder or any other Person to any rights as a stockholder of the Company or CAH.

(d) If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that such Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company and the Exchange Agent that such Tax is not applicable.

(e) The Merger Consideration issued and paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of CAH Class A Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of CAH shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of CAH Class A Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for transfer, or transfer is sought for Book-Entry Shares, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any remaining holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation, as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Merger Consideration. None of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of Company Common Shares properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Exchange Agent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof.

(d) CAH is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

(e) CAH has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act).

Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting CAH’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information required to be included in CAH’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act.

(f) CAH maintains systems of internal control over financial reporting that are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including policies and procedures sufficient to provide reasonable assurance: (i) that CAH maintains records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect, in all material respects, its transactions and dispositions of assets; (ii) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP; (iii) that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and its board of directors; and (iv) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of its assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements. CAH has delivered to the Company a true and complete copy of any disclosure (or, if unwritten, a summary thereof) by any representative of CAH to CAH’s independent auditors relating to any material weaknesses in internal controls and any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that would adversely affect the ability of CAH to record, process, summarize and report financial data. CAH has no knowledge of any fraud or whistle-blower allegations, whether or not material, that involve management or other employees or consultants who have or had a significant role in the internal control over financial reporting of CAH. Since December 31, 2020, there have been no material changes in CAH internal control over financial reporting.

(g) There are no outstanding loans or other extensions of credit made by CAH to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or director of CAH and CAH has not taken any action prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

(h) Neither CAH (including any employee thereof) nor CAH’s independent auditors has identified or been made aware of (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the system of internal accounting controls utilized by CAH, (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves CAH’s management or other employees who have a role in the preparation of financial statements or the internal accounting controls utilized by CAH or (iii) any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing.

(i) As of the date hereof, there are no outstanding SEC comments from the SEC with respect to the CAH SEC Reports. To the knowledge of CAH, none of the CAH SEC Reports filed on or prior to the date hereof is subject to ongoing SEC review or investigation as of the date hereof.

(j) Each “material contract” (as such term is defined in Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K of the SEC) to which CAH is a party is an exhibit to the CAH SEC Reports.

Section 4.8 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since December 31, 2019, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, (a) CAH has conducted its business in all material respects in the ordinary course and in a manner consistent with past practice, other than due to any actions taken due to a “shelter in place,” “non-essential employee” or similar direction of any Governmental Authority, (b) there has not been any CAH Material Adverse Effect, and (c) CAH has not taken any action that, if taken after the date of this Agreement, would constitute a material breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 5.1.

Section 4.9 Absence of Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of CAH, threatened against CAH, or any property or asset of CAH, before any Governmental Authority. Neither CAH nor any material property or asset of CAH is subject to any continuing order of, consent decree, settlement agreement or other similar written agreement with, or, to the knowledge of CAH, continuing investigation by, any Governmental Authority, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority.

Section 4.10 Board Approval; Vote Required. The CAH Board, by resolutions duly adopted by unanimous vote at a meeting duly called and held and not subsequently rescinded or modified in any way, has duly (i) determined that this Agreement and the Transactions are fair to and in the best interests of CAH and its stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement and the Transactions and declared their advisability, and (iii) recommended that the stockholders of CAH approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger, and directed that this Agreement and the Merger be submitted for consideration by the stockholders of CAH at the CAH Stockholders’ Meeting.

Section 4.11 Brokers. Except as set forth on Section 4.11 of the CAH Disclosure Schedule, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of CAH.

Section 4.12 CAH Trust Fund. As of the date of this Agreement, CAH has no less than $115,000,000 in the trust fund established by CAH for the benefit of its public stockholders (the “Trust Fund”) maintained in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). The monies of such Trust Account are invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and held in trust by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2021, between CAH and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exceptions. CAH has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by CAH or the Trustee. There are no separate contracts, agreements, side letters or other understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied): (i) between CAH and the Trustee that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the CAH SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) to the knowledge of CAH, that would entitle any person (other than stockholders of CAH who shall have elected to redeem their shares of CAH Class A Common Stock pursuant to the CAH Organizational Documents) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except:

(A) to pay income and franchise Taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) upon the exercise of Redemption Rights in accordance with the provisions of the CAH Organizational Documents. As of the date hereof, there are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of CAH, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account. Upon consummation of the Merger and notice thereof to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement, CAH shall cause the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to, release to CAH as promptly as practicable, the Trust Funds in accordance with the Trust Agreement at which point the Trust Account shall terminate; provided, however, that the liabilities and obligations of CAH due and owing or incurred at or prior to the Effective Time shall be paid as and when due, including all amounts payable (a) to stockholders of CAH who shall have exercised their Redemption Rights and (b) to the Trustee for fees and costs incurred in accordance with the Trust Agreement. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein and the compliance by the Company with its respective obligations hereunder, CAH has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to CAH at the Effective Time.

Section 4.13 Employees. Other than any officers as described in the CAH SEC Reports and consultants and advisors in the ordinary course of business, CAH has never employed any employees or retained any contractors. Other than reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by CAH’s officers and directors in connection with activities on CAH’s behalf in an aggregate amount not in excess of the amount of cash held by CAH outside of the Trust Account, CAH has no unsatisfied material liability with respect to any officer or director.

None of CAH or any of its affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the CAH Units, the shares of CAH Class A Common Stock, or the CAH Warrants under the Exchange Act.

Section 4.16 Business Activities. Since its incorporation, CAH has not conducted any business activities other than activities: (a) in connection with its organization; or (b) directed toward the accomplishment of a business combination.

Section 5.3 Claims Against Trust Account. Reference is made to the final prospectus of CAH, dated as of January 26, 2021 and filed with the SEC (File No. 333-251969) on January 27, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Company hereby represents and warrants that it has read the Prospectus and understands that CAH has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment shares acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of CAH’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by CAH’s underwriters the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, CAH may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their CAH Class A Common Stock in connection with the consummation of CAH’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if CAH fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the IPO, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, as necessary to pay any Taxes, or (d) to CAH after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of CAH entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between CAH or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or its Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”). The Company on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Company or any of its affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with CAH or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with CAH or its affiliates). The Company agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement

and specifically relied upon by CAH and its affiliates to induce CAH to enter in this Agreement, and the Company further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company and each of its affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent the Company or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to CAH or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against CAH or its Representatives, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s and its affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Company or its affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event the Company or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to CAH or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Stockholders of CAH, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, CAH and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Company and its affiliates the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event CAH or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this paragraph shall survive indefinitely with respect to the obligations set forth in this Agreement.

From and after the Effective Time, CAH agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under applicable Law, the Company Memorandum and Articles in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).

Section 9.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall

nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.4 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede, except as set forth in Section 6.3(b), all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Non-Disclosure Agreement. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise) by any Party without the prior express written consent of the other Parties hereto.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than Section 6.6 (which is intended to be for the benefit of the persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such persons).

Section 9.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the DGCL: the Merger, the vesting of the rights, property, choses in action, business, undertaking, goodwill, benefits, immunities and privileges, contracts, obligations, claims, debts and liabilities of Merger Sub and CAH in the Surviving Corporation, and the cancellation of the shares of CAH Common Stock. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal Action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. The Parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto, and (b) agree not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of the Parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 9.7 Waiver of Jury Trial.

Each of the Parties hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Transactions, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.7.

Section 9.8 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.9 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to the Transactions shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 9.10 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the Parties’ obligation to consummate the Merger) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Section 9.11 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Sidley Austin LLP (“CAH Counsel”) has acted as legal counsel to CAH, Sponsor, certain CAH security holders and certain of their respective affiliates prior to the Closing and that each of Goodwin Procter LLP and Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP (collectively, “LUM Counsel”) has acted as legal counsel to the Company and certain of its affiliates, including Merger Sub, prior to the Closing, and that CAH Counsel and LUM Counsel may act as legal counsel to CAH, the Surviving Corporation and one or more of its Subsidiaries, Sponsor, certain CAH security holders and certain of their respective affiliates after the Closing, each of CAH and the Surviving Corporation (including on behalf of the Surviving Corporation’s subsidiaries) hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with CAH Counsel or LUM Counsel representing CAH, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, Sponsor, any CAH security holder and any of their respective affiliates after to the Closing. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences by or among CAH, Sponsor, CAH security holders or their respective affiliates in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Sponsor, such CAH security holder or such affiliate (and not to CAH, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries). Accordingly, CAH and the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, will not have access to any such communications, or to the files of CAH Counsel relating to such engagement, whether or not the Closing will have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) Sponsor or the applicable CAH security holder and its affiliates (and not CAH, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) will be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of CAH, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of CAH Counsel in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Sponsor, the applicable CAH security holder or their respective affiliates (and not CAH, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) will hold such property rights, (iii) CAH Counsel will have no

duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to CAH after the Closing and before or after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between CAH Counsel and CAH before the Closing and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise and (iv) LUM Counsel will have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any attorney-client communications or files from the Company prior to the Closing to Sponsor, CAH or any CAH security holder before or after the Closing by reason of any attorney-client relationship between LUM Counsel and the Company before the Closing and, after the Closing, CAH, Sponsor, CAH security holder, the Surviving Corporation and any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between CAH, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and a third party (other than a Party to this Agreement or any of their respective affiliates) after the Closing, CAH and the Surviving Corporation (including on behalf of its Subsidiaries) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by CAH Counsel to such third party; provided, however, that neither CAH, the Surviving Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sponsor.

6.9	Voluntary Conversion Rate

The Voluntary Conversion Rate applicable to each A Ordinary Share in connection with any Voluntary Conversion or Exceptional Voluntary Conversion under these Articles shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6.9 (Voluntary conversion rate):

(i)

if while A Ordinary Shares remain capable of being converted into Common Shares there is a consolidation and/or sub-division of any A Ordinary Shares or Common Shares, the Voluntary Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by an amount, which in the opinion of the Board is fair and reasonable, to maintain the right to convert so as to ensure that each holder of A Ordinary Shares has the same economic interest before and after such consolidation or sub-division, such adjustment to become effective immediately after such consolidation or subdivision;

(ii)

if while A Ordinary Shares remain capable of being converted into Common Shares, on an allotment of shares pursuant to a capitalisation of profits or reserves to holders of Common Shares the Voluntary Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by an amount, which in the opinion of the Board is fair and reasonable, to maintain the right to convert so as to ensure that each A Ordinary Shareholder has the same economic interest before and after such capitalisation of profits or reserves, such adjustment to become effective as at the record date for such allotment of shares,

and if there is an adjustment to the Voluntary Conversion Rate then upon conversion of the relevant A Ordinary Shares the additional Common Shares to be issued (if applicable) shall be paid up by the automatic capitalisation of available reserves of the Company, unless and to the extent that the same shall be impossible or unlawful, in which case the relevant shareholders shall be entitled to subscribe for such additional Common Shares in cash at their par value and, subject to the payment of any cash payable (if applicable), such additional Common Shares shall be issued, credited fully paid up and shall rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Common Shares except for any dividends or other distributions declared, made, or payable by reference to a record date prior to the issue of such additional Common Shares.

6.10	No Further Issuance

Except for the issuance of any A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of any Rights outstanding at the Closing Date, the Company shall not at any time after the Closing Date issue any A Ordinary Shares.

Any instrument of transfer must be lodged at the Company’s registered office (or such other place as the Company thinks fit) and must be accompanied, to the extent applicable, with the relevant share certificate(s) (or any indemnity for lost certificate(s) in a form acceptable to the Board) representing such Common Shares to be so Transferred, provided that the Board may dispense with the execution of the instrument of transfer (or delivery of any share certificates) in any case which it thinks fit in its discretion to do so. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, title to Common Shares may be evidenced and Transferred in accordance with the Relevant System and the Board may resolve, either generally or in any particular case, upon request by either the

transferor or transferee, to accept mechanically executed transfers including, where applicable, in accordance with the Relevant System or in any other form prescribed by the Designated Securities Exchange.

The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the relevant Common Shares until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof.

(d)

Nothing in these Articles shall require Common Shares to be Transferred by a written instrument if the Act and/or the Designated Securities Exchange Rules provide otherwise and the directors shall be empowered to implement such arrangements as they consider fit in accordance with and subject to the Act and the Designated Securities Exchange Rules to regulate the transfer of title to Common Shares (including Common Shares held in uncertificated form) and for the approval or disapproval, as the case may be, by the Board of the registration of those Transfers.

(e)

Subject to the provisions of the Act or the Designated Securities Exchange Rules, and without prejudice to Article 47 and any powers which the Company or the Board may have to issue, allot, dispose of, or otherwise deal with or make arrangements in relation to the Common Shares and other securities in any form:

(i)

the Board may permit the holding of Common Shares in uncertificated form;

(iv)

to take any action that the Board considers appropriate to achieve the Transfer of that Common Share, or otherwise to enforce a lien in respect of that Common Share.

Without limiting the generality of Article 16.2 (Delegation of Directors’ Powers), the Board shall establish a permanent Audit Committee which shall consist of such number of directors as the Board shall from time to time determine (or such minimum number as may be required from time to time by any Designated Securities Exchange) and shall be made up of such number of Independent Directors as is required from time to time by the rules of the Designated Securities Exchange or as otherwise required by applicable law. At least one (1) member of the Audit Committee will be an audit committee financial expert as determined by the rules adopted by the Designated Securities Exchange. Such financial expert shall have a special past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individual’s financial sophistication.

16.4

If a committee is established, the Board may adopt formal written charters for such committees which the Board shall review and assess the adequacy of such formal written charters on an annual basis. Each of these committees shall be empowered to do all things necessary to exercise the rights of such committee set forth in these Articles and shall have such powers as the Board may delegate pursuant to Article 16.2 (Delegation of Directors’ Powers) and as required by the rules of the Designated Securities Exchange or applicable law.

17.	AGENTS

17.1

The Board may, by power of attorney or otherwise, appoint any person to be the agent of the Company for such purposes and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Board) and for such period and on such conditions as the Board determines, including without limitation authority for the agent to delegate all or any of his powers, authorities and discretions, and may revoke or vary such delegation.

PART E

DECISION-MAKING BY DIRECTORS

18.	DIRECTORS TO TAKE DECISIONS COLLECTIVELY

18.1	The general rule about decision-making by directors is that, save as otherwise provided for in these Articles, any decision of the directors must be either a majority decision at a meeting or a decision taken in accordance with Article 19 (Unanimous decisions).

18.2	At any meeting of the directors each director (or his alternate director) present at the meeting shall be entitled to one (1) vote.

19.	UNANIMOUS DECISIONS

19.1	A decision of the directors is taken in accordance with this Article 19 (Unanimous decisions) when all eligible directors indicate to each other by any means, excluding the means of text messaging, that they share a common view on a matter.

19.2	Such a decision may take the form of a resolution in writing, where each eligible director has signed one or more copies of it or to which each eligible director has otherwise indicated agreement in writing.

19.3	A decision may not be taken in accordance with this Article 19 (Unanimous decisions) if the eligible directors would not have formed a quorum at a directors’ meeting held to discuss the matter in question.

20.	CALLING A DIRECTORS’ MEETING

20.1	Any director may call a directors’ meeting by giving notice of the meeting to the directors or by authorising the Secretary (if any) to give such notice.

20.2	Notice of any directors’ meeting must indicate:

(a)

its proposed date and time;

(b)

where it is to take place; and

(c)

if it is anticipated that directors participating in the meeting will not be in the same place, how it is proposed that they should communicate with each other during the meeting.

20.3	Save as otherwise provided in these Articles or with the unanimous consent of all directors, notice of a directors’ meeting must be given to each director, but need not be in writing.

20.4	Save with the unanimous consent of all directors, at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of each directors’ meeting shall be given in accordance with these Articles.

21.	PARTICIPATION IN DIRECTORS’ MEETINGS

Subject to these Articles, directors participate in a directors’ meeting, or part of a directors’ meeting, when:

(a)

the meeting has been called and takes place in accordance with these Articles; and

(b)

they can each communicate orally, including by means of telephone, video conference or other audio or audio-visual link or any other form of telecommunication, to the others any information or opinions they have on any particular item of the business of the meeting.

21.2	In determining whether directors are participating in a directors’ meeting, it is irrelevant where any director is or how they communicate with each other, provided that all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.

21.3

If all the directors participating in a meeting are not in the same place, they may decide that the meeting is to be treated as taking place wherever any of them is. Participation by a person in a meeting by a conference telephone or other communications equipment is treated as presence in person at that meeting and such person is counted in the quorum and is entitled to vote.

21.4

Without prejudice to Article 19 (Unanimous decisions), a resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the directors or all the members of a committee of the directors (an alternate director being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of his appointor and if such alternate director is also a director, being entitled to sign such resolution both on behalf of his appointor and in his capacity as a director) shall be as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors, or committee of directors as the case may be, duly convened and held. Unless otherwise provided by its terms, such a resolution shall be effective from the date and time of the last signature

21.5

All acts done by any meeting of the directors or of a committee of the directors (including any person acting as an alternate Director) shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any director or alternate director, and/or that they or any of them were disqualified, and/or had vacated their office and/or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and/or not disqualified to be a director or alternate director and/or had not vacated their office and/or had been entitled to vote, as the case may be.

21.6	The directors may, from time to time, invite certain persons to attend meetings of the Board in an observer capacity and to receive, at its discretion, any of the documents and materials that are provided to each director.

22.	QUORUM FOR DIRECTORS’ MEETINGS

22.1	At a directors’ meeting, unless a quorum is participating, no proposal is to be voted on, except a proposal to call another meeting.

22.2	The quorum necessary for the transaction of business of the directors is two (2) eligible directors, provided that one such director is a Founder Director, save that:

(a)

where there is a sole director, the quorum is one (1); and

(b)

where the business to be transacted at the meeting is the authorisation of a conflict of a Founder Director pursuant to Article 25 (Conflicts of interest), the quorum is one (1) eligible director and that Founder Director’s presence is not required to constitute a quorum.

22.3	If the total number of directors for the time being is less than the quorum required, the directors must not take any decision other than a decision:

(a)

to appoint further directors; or

(b)

to call a general meeting so as to enable the shareholders to appoint further directors.

23.	CHAIRING OF DIRECTORS’ MEETINGS

23.1	Subject to the provisions of Clause 23.4, the directors may appoint a director to chair their meetings.

23.2	Subject to the provisions of Clause 23.4, if the directors appoint a director to chair their meetings, the person so appointed for the time being is known as the Chairman and the directors may terminate his appointment as Chairman at any time.

23.3

Subject to the provisions of Clause 23.4, if the Chairman is unwilling to chair a directors’ meeting or is not participating in a directors’ meeting within ten minutes of the time at which it was to start or, if at any time during the meeting, the Chairman ceases to be a participating director, the participating directors must appoint one of themselves to chair it (or chair such part of it in relation to which the Chairman ceases to be a participating director, as the case may be).

23.4	Unless otherwise agreed by the holder(s) of the majority of the A Ordinary Shares at the relevant time and the voting approval of the shares held by Ron Zwanziger and each of his Affiliates, the Chairman shall be Ron Zwanziger.

24.	CASTING VOTE

If, at a meeting of the directors, the numbers of votes for and against a proposal are equal, the Chairman or other director appointed to chair the meeting pursuant to these Articles shall have a casting vote.

25.	CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

25.1	Subject to the Act and the Designated Securities Exchange Rules, if a director has disclosed to the other directors the nature and extent of any direct or indirect interest which the director has in any transaction or arrangement with the Company, a director notwithstanding his office:

(a)

may be a party to or otherwise interested in any transaction or arrangement with the Company or in which the Company is otherwise interested;

(b)

may be a director or other officer of, or employed by, or a party to any transaction or arrangement with, or otherwise interested in, any body corporate promoted by the Company or in which the Company is otherwise interested; and

(c)

shall not by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he derives from any such office or employment or from any such transaction or arrangement or from any interest in any such body corporate and no such transaction or arrangement shall be liable to be avoided on the ground of any such interest or benefit.

25.2	For the purposes of Article 25.1 (Conflicts of Interest)

(a)

a general notice given to the directors to the effect that: (1) a director is a member or officer of a specified company or firm and is to be regarded as having an interest in any transaction or arrangement which may after the date of the notice be made with that company or firm; or (2) a director is to be regarded as interested in any transaction or arrangement which may after the date of the notice be made with a specified person who is connected with him or her shall be deemed to be a sufficient disclosure that the director has an interest of the nature and extent so specified; and

(b)

an interest of which a director has no knowledge and of which it is unreasonable to expect him to have knowledge shall not be treated as an interest of his.

25.3

A director must disclose any direct or indirect interest in any transaction or arrangement with the Company, and following a declaration being made pursuant to the Articles, subject to any separate requirement for Audit Committee approval under applicable law or the Designated Securities Exchange Rules, and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant meeting, a director may vote in respect of any such transaction or arrangement in which such director is interested and may be counted in the quorum at such meeting.

25.4	Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Independent Director shall without the consent of the Audit Committee take any of the foregoing actions or any other action that would reasonably be likely to affect such director’s status as an “Independent Director” of the Company.

26.	MINUTES

26.1	The directors shall cause minutes to be made in books kept for the purposes of recording

(a)

all appointments of officers made by the directors; and

(b)

all resolutions and proceedings of meetings of the Company, of the holders of any class of shares in the Company and of the directors and of committees of directors, including the names of the directors present at each such meeting.

27.	DIRECTORS’ DISCRETION TO MAKE FURTHER RULES

Subject to these Articles, the directors may make any rule which they think fit about how they take decisions, and about how such rules are to be recorded or communicated to directors.

PART F

28.	DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION

28.1	The directors are entitled to such remuneration as the Board shall determine:

(a)

provided that the agreement or payment of any such remuneration would not result in non-compliance with any Designated Securities Exchange Rule.

28.2	Subject to these Articles, a director’s remuneration may:

(a)

take any form; and

(b)

include any arrangements in connection with the payment of a pension, allowance or gratuity, or any death, sickness or disability benefits, to or in respect of that director,

provided that the agreement or payment of any such remuneration would not result in non-compliance with any Designated Securities Exchange Rule.

28.3	Unless the directors decide otherwise, directors’ remuneration accrues from day to day.

28.4	Without prejudice to the generality of this Article 28, members of the Audit Committee may be paid annual compensation in the form of a fixed salary in such amount as the Board may determine.

28.5	Unless the directors decide otherwise, directors are not accountable to the Company for any remuneration which they receive as directors or other officers or employees of the Subsidiaries or of any other body corporate in which the Company is interested.

29.	DIRECTORS’ EXPENSES

The Company may pay any reasonable expenses which the directors and the Secretary (if any) properly incur in connection with their attendance at (or returning from):

(a)

meetings of directors or committees of directors;

(b)

general meetings; or

(c)

PART G

ALTERNATE DIRECTORS AND SECRETARY

30.	APPOINTMENT AND REMOVAL OF ALTERNATES

30.1	Any director (other than an alternate director) (the “appointor”) may appoint as an alternate any other director, or any other person approved by resolution of the directors, who is willing to act to:

(a)

exercise that director’s powers; and

(b)

carry out that director’s responsibilities,

in relation to the taking of decisions by the directors in the absence of the alternate’s appointor. A person (whether or not otherwise a director) may be appointed as an alternate by more than one appointor.

30.2	Any appointment or removal of an alternate must be effected by notice in writing to the Company signed by the appointor, or in any other manner approved by the directors.

30.3	The notice must identify the proposed alternate and, in the case of a notice of appointment, contain a statement signed by the proposed alternate that the proposed alternate is willing to act as the alternate of the director giving the notice.

30.4

The appointment of an alternate director who is not otherwise a director shall be valid notwithstanding that he is approved by a resolution of the directors after his appointment as alternate director. Where an alternate director who is not otherwise a director attends a meeting of the directors and no objection is raised at the meeting to his presence then he shall be deemed to have been approved by a resolution of the directors.

31.	RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF ALTERNATE DIRECTORS

31.1

Except as otherwise specified in these Articles, an alternate director has the same rights in relation to any directors’ meeting, directors’ written resolution or any other directors’ decision-making as the alternate’s appointor, including, but not limited to, the right to receive notice of all meetings of directors and all meetings of committees of directors of which his appointor is a member.

31.2	Except as these Articles specify otherwise, alternate directors:

(a)

are deemed for all purposes to be directors;

(b)

are liable for their own acts and omissions;

(c)

are subject to the same restrictions as their appointors; and

(d)

are not deemed to be agents of or for their appointors.

31.3	A person who is an alternate director but not otherwise a director:

(a)

may be counted as participating for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is participating (but only if that person’s appointor is not participating); and

(b)

may participate in a unanimous decision of the directors (but only if that person’s appointor is an eligible director in respect of such decisions and only if that person’s appointor does not participate),

provided that (notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles) such person shall not be counted as more than one director for the purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

31.4

A director who is also an alternate for one or more directors is entitled, in the absence of the relevant appointor, to a separate vote on behalf of each appointor in addition to his own vote on any decision of the directors (provided the relevant appointor is an eligible director in relation to that decision) but shall not count as more than one director for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

31.5	An alternate director is not entitled to receive any remuneration from the Company for serving as an alternate director except such part of the alternate’s appointor’s remuneration as the appointor may direct by notice in writing made to the Company.

32.	TERMINATION OF ALTERNATE DIRECTORSHIP

An alternate director’s appointment as an alternate terminates:

(a)

when the alternate’s appointor revokes the appointment by notice to the Company in writing specifying when it is to terminate;

(b)

on the occurrence, in relation to the alternate, of any event which, if it occurred in relation to the alternate’s appointor, would result in the termination of the appointor’s appointment as a director;

(c)

on the death of the alternate’s appointor; or

(d)

when the alternate’s appointor ceases to be a director for any reason.

33.	SECRETARY

The directors may appoint any person who is willing to act as the Secretary on such terms (including but not limited to, term of office and remuneration) and subject to such conditions as they may think fit and from time to time remove such person and, if the directors determine, appoint a replacement secretary of the Company, in each case by a decision of the directors.

PART H

LIENS, SHARE CERTIFICATES AND DISTRIBUTIONS LIENS, CALLS AND FORFEITURE

34.	COMPANY’S LIEN

34.1

The Company has a lien (the “Company’s lien”) over every share (whether fully paid or not) registered in the name of any person (whether he is the sole registered holder or one of two or more joint holders) for all moneys payable by him or his estate (and whether payable by him alone or jointly with any other person) to the Company (whether presently payable or not).

34.2	The Company’s lien over a share:

(a)

takes priority over any third party’s interest in that share; and

(b)

extends to any dividend (or other assets attributable to it) or other money payable by the Company in respect of that share and (if the lien is enforced and the share is sold by the Company) the proceeds of sale of that share.

34.3	The directors may, at any time, decide that a share which is or would otherwise be subject to a lien pursuant to these Articles shall not be subject to it, either wholly or in part.

35.	ENFORCEMENT OF THE COMPANY’S LIEN

35.1	Subject to the provisions of this Article 35 (Enforcement of the Company’s lien), if a lien enforcement notice has been given in respect of a share and the person to whom the notice was given has failed to comply with it, the Company may sell that share in such manner as the directors decide.

35.2	A lien enforcement notice:

(a)

may only be given in respect of a share which is subject to the Company’s lien, in respect of which a sum is payable and the due date for payment of that sum has passed;

(b)

must specify the share concerned;

(c)

must require payment of the sum payable within fourteen (14) clear days of the notice (that is, excluding the date on which the notice is given and the date on which that fourteen (14) day period expires);

(d)

must be addressed either to the holder of the share or to any transmittee of that holder or any other person otherwise entitled to the share; and

(e)

must state the Company’s intention to sell the share if the notice is not complied with.

35.3	Where any share is sold pursuant to this Article 35 (Enforcement of the Company’s Lien):

(a)

the directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares to the purchaser or a person nominated by the purchaser; and

(b)

the transferee of the share(s) shall be registered as the holder of the share(s) to which the Transfer relates notwithstanding that he may not be able to produce the share certificate(s) and such transferee is not bound to see to the application of the consideration and the transferee’s title to the share is not affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the process leading or relating to the sale.

35.4	The net proceeds of any such sale (after payment of the costs of sale and any other costs of enforcing the lien) must be applied:

(a)

first, in payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as was payable at the date of the lien enforcement notice;

(b)

second, to the person entitled to the share(s) immediately before the sale took place, but only after the certificate for the share(s) sold has been surrendered to the Company for cancellation or an indemnity in a form acceptable to the directors has been given to the Company for any lost certificate(s) and subject to a lien (equivalent to the Company’s lien over the share(s) immediately before the sale took place) for all moneys payable by such person or his estate (whether immediately payable or not) in respect of all share(s) registered in the name of such person (whether he is the sole registered holder or one of two or more joint holders) and in respect of any other moneys payable (whether immediately payable or not) by him or his estate to the Company, after the date of the lien enforcement notice.

35.5	A statutory declaration by a director or the Secretary (if any) that the declarant is a director or the Secretary and that a share has been sold to satisfy the Company’s lien on a specified date:

(a)

is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share(s); and

(b)

subject to compliance with any other formalities of Transfer required by these Articles or by law, constitutes a good title to the share(s).

36.	CALL NOTICES

36.1

Subject to these Articles and the terms on which shares are allotted, the directors may send a notice (a “call notice”) to a shareholder (or his estate) requiring such shareholder (or his estate) to pay the Company a specified sum of money (a “call”) which is payable to the Company in respect of shares which that shareholder (or his estate) holds at the date when the directors decide to send the call notice.

36.2	A call notice:

(a)

may not require a shareholder (or his estate) to pay a call which exceeds the total sum unpaid on the shares in question (whether as to par value or any amount payable to the Company by way of premium);

(b)

must state when and how any call to which it relates is to be paid; and

(c)

may permit or require the call to be paid by instalments.

36.3

A shareholder (or his estate) must comply with the requirements of a call notice but shall not be obliged to pay any call before fourteen (14) clear days (that is, excluding the date on which the notice is given and the date on which that fourteen (14) day period expires) have passed since the notice was sent.

36.4

Before the Company has received any call due under a call notice, the directors may revoke it wholly or in part or specify a later date and/or time for payment than is specified in the notice, by a further notice in writing to the shareholder (or his estate) in respect of whose shares the call is made.

37.	LIABILITY TO PAY CALLS

37.1	Liability to pay a call is not extinguished or transferred by transferring the shares in respect of which it is required to be paid. Joint holders of a share are jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of that share.

37.2	Subject to the terms on which shares are allotted, the directors may, when issuing shares, provide that call notices sent to the holders of those shares may require them to pay calls which are not the same or to pay calls at different times.

38.	PAYMENT IN ADVANCE OF CALLS

38.1	The directors may, if they think fit, receive from any shareholder willing to advance it all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid on the shares held by him. Such payment in advance of calls shall extinguish only to that extent the liability on the shares on which it is made.

38.2

The Company may pay interest on the money paid in advance or so much of it as exceeds the amount for the time being called up on the shares in respect of which such advance has been made at such rate not exceeding fifteen per cent (15%) per annum as the directors may decide until and to the extent that it would, but for the advance, become payable.

38.3

The directors may at any time repay the amount so advanced on giving to such shareholder not less than fourteen (14) days’ notice (that is, excluding the date on which the notice is given and the date on which that fourteen (14) day period expires) of its intention in that regard, unless before the expiration of such notice the amount so advanced shall have been called up on the shares in respect of which it was advanced.

38.4	No sum paid in advance of calls shall entitle the holder of a share in respect of them to any portion of a dividend subsequently declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such sum would, but for such payment, become payable.

39.	WHEN CALL NOTICE NEED NOT BE ISSUED

39.1	A call notice need not be issued in respect of sums which are specified, in the terms on which a share is issued, as being payable to the Company in respect of that share (whether in respect of par value or premium):

(a)

on allotment;

(b)

on the occurrence of a particular event; or

(c)

on a date fixed by or in accordance with the terms of issue.

39.2

If, however, the due date for payment of such a sum has passed and it has not been paid, the holder of the share(s) concerned (or his estate) is treated in all respects as having failed to comply with a call notice in respect of that sum, and is liable to the same consequences as regards the payment of interest and forfeiture.

40.	FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH CALL NOTICE: AUTOMATIC CONSEQUENCES

40.1 (a)

If a person is liable to pay a call and fails to do so by the call payment date (as such is defined below) the directors may issue a notice of intended forfeiture to that person and unless and until the call is paid, that person must pay the Company interest on the call from the call payment date at the relevant rate (as such is defined below).

(b)

Subject to Article 40.2 (Failure to comply with call notice: automatic consequences), for the purposes of this Article (Failure to comply with call notice: automatic consequences):

(c)

the “call payment date” is the time when the call notice states that a call is payable, unless the directors give a notice specifying a later date, in which case the “call payment date” is that later date;

(d)

the “relevant rate” is:

(i)

the rate fixed by the terms on which the share in respect of which the call is due was allotted; or, if none,

(ii)

such other rate as was fixed in the call notice which required payment of the call, or has otherwise been determined by the directors,

provided that if no rate is fixed in either of the manners specified in paragraph (d)(i) or (d)(ii) it shall be, five per cent (5%) per annum.

40.2	The directors may waive any obligation to pay interest on a call wholly or in part.

41.	NOTICE OF INTENDED FORFEITURE

41.1	A notice of intended forfeiture:

(a)

may be sent in respect of any share in respect of which a call has not been paid as required by a call notice;

(b)

must be sent to the holder of that share (or to all the joint holders of that share) or to a transmittee of that holder;

(c)

must require payment of the call and any accrued interest together with all costs and expenses that may have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non- payment by a date which is not less than fourteen (14) clear days after the date of the notice (that is, excluding the date on which the notice is given and the date on which that fourteen (14) day period expires);

(d)

must state how the payment is to be made; and

(e)

must state that if the notice is not complied with, the shares in respect of which the call is payable will be liable to be forfeited.

42.	DIRECTORS’ POWER TO FORFEIT SHARES

If a notice of intended forfeiture is not complied with before the date by which payment of the call is required in the notice of intended forfeiture, the directors may decide that any share in respect of which it was given is forfeited, and the forfeiture is to include all dividends or other moneys payable in respect of the forfeited shares and not paid before the forfeiture.

43.	EFFECT OF FORFEITURE

43.1

Subject to these Articles, the forfeiture of a share extinguishes all interests in that share, and all claims and demands against the Company in respect of it and all other rights and liabilities incidental to the share as between the person whose share it was prior to the forfeiture and the Company.

43.2	Any share which is forfeited in accordance with these Articles:

(a)

is deemed to have been forfeited when the directors decide that it is forfeited;

(b)

is deemed to be the property of the Company; and

(c)

may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of as the directors think fit.

43.3	If a person’s shares have been forfeited:

(a)

the Company must send that person notice that forfeiture has occurred and record it in the Register;

(b)

that person ceases to be a shareholder in respect of those shares;

(c)

that person must surrender the certificate (if any) for the shares forfeited to the Company for cancellation;

(d)

that person remains liable to the Company for all sums payable by that person under these Articles at the date of forfeiture in respect of those shares, including any interest, costs and expenses (whether accrued before or after the date of forfeiture); and

(e)

the directors may waive payment of such sums wholly or in part or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture or for any consideration received on their disposal.

43.4	At any time before the Company disposes of a forfeited share, the directors may decide to cancel the forfeiture on payment of all calls and interest, costs and expenses due in respect of it and on such other terms as they think fit.

44.	PROCEDURE FOLLOWING FORFEITURE

44.1	If a forfeited share is to be disposed of by being Transferred, the Company may receive the consideration for the Transfer and the directors may authorise any person to execute the instrument of transfer (or procure the completion of the Transfer through the Relevant System).

44.2

A statutory declaration by a director or the Secretary that the declarant is a director or the Secretary and that a share has been forfeited on a specified date is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share and subject to compliance with any other formalities of Transfer required by these Articles, the Relevant System, or by law or the Designated Securities Exchange Rules, constitutes a good title to the share.

44.3	A person to whom a forfeited share is Transferred is not bound to see to the application of the consideration (if any) nor is that person’s title to the share affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the process leading to the forfeiture or Transfer of the share.

44.4	If the Company sells a forfeited share, the person who held it prior to its forfeiture is entitled to receive from the Company the proceeds of such sale, net of any commission, and excluding any amount which:

(a)

was, or would have become, payable; and

(b)

had not, when that share was forfeited, been paid by that person in respect of that share,

but no interest is payable to such a person in respect of such proceeds and the Company is not required to account for any money earned on them.

45.	SURRENDER OF SHARES

45.1	A shareholder may surrender any share:

(a)

in respect of which the directors may issue a notice of intended forfeiture;

(b)

which the directors may forfeit; or

(c)

which has been forfeited.

45.2	The directors may accept the surrender of any such share. The effect of surrender on a share is the same as the effect of forfeiture on that share. A share which has been surrendered may be dealt with in the same way as a share which has been forfeited.

46.	COMPANY NOT BOUND BY LESS THAN ABSOLUTE INTERESTS

Except as required by applicable law, no person is to be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust, and except as otherwise required by applicable law or these Articles, the Company is not in any way to be bound by or recognise any interest in a share other than the holder’s absolute ownership of it and all the rights attaching to it.

47.	SHARE CERTIFICATES

47.1

A shareholder shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the directors resolve that a share certificate shall be issued to such shareholder. Share certificates representing shares, if any, shall be in such form as the directors may determine. Share certificates shall be signed by one or more directors or other person authorised by the directors. The directors may authorise certificates to be issued with the authorised

signature(s) affixed by mechanical process. All certificates for shares (if any) shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the shares to which they relate. All certificates surrendered to the Company for Transfer shall be cancelled and, subject to these Articles, no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate representing a like number of relevant Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled.

49.	INSTRUMENTS OF TRANSFER

49.1

Subject to these Articles and without prejudice to Article 6.11 (Transfer of Common Shares) any shareholder may Transfer all or any of his shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by any Designated Securities Exchange Rule or in any other form approved by the Board (including by means of the Relevant System) and may be under hand or by electronic signature or by such other manner of execution as the Board may approve from time to time. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, title to listed shares of the Company may be evidenced and Transferred in accordance with the laws applicable to and the rules and regulations of the Designated Securities Exchange on which such shares are listed.

49.2

The instrument of transfer shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferee provided that the Board may dispense with the execution of the instrument of transfer by the transferee in any case which it thinks fit in its discretion to do so. Without prejudice to Article 9.1, the Board may also resolve, either generally or in any particular case, upon request by either the transferor or transferee, to accept mechanically executed transfers including, where applicable, in accordance with the Relevant System or in any other form prescribed by the Designated Securities Exchange. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof. Nothing in these Articles shall preclude the Board from recognizing a renunciation of the allotment or provisional allotment of any share by the allottee in favour of some other person.

49.3	The Company may retain any instrument of transfer which is registered.

49.4	Any instrument of transfer which the directors refuse to register must (unless they suspect that the proposed Transfer may be fraudulent) be returned to the transferee.

49.5

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Articles shall require shares to be Transferred by a written instrument if the Act and/or the Designated Securities Exchange Rules provide otherwise and the directors shall be empowered to implement such arrangements as they consider fit in accordance with and subject to the Act and the Designated Securities Exchange Rules to regulate the Transfer of title to shares in the Company and for the approval or disapproval, as the case may be, by the Board of the registration of those Transfers.

50.	REGISTER

50.1	The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained an overseas or local Register in accordance with the Act and as, applicable, the Designated Securities Exchange Rules.

50.2

The directors may determine that the Company shall maintain one or more branch Registers in accordance with the Act. The Directors may also determine which Register shall constitute the principal register and which shall constitute the branch register or registers, and to vary such determination from time to time.

51.	CLOSING REGISTER OF SHAREHOLDERS OR FIXING RECORD DATE

51.1

For the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at any general meeting or any adjournment thereof, or the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, the directors may provide that the Register shall be closed for Transfers for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days.

51.2

In lieu of, or apart from, closing the Register, the directors may fix, in advance or in arrears, a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at any general meeting or any adjournment thereof, or for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, provided that such a record date shall not exceed forty (40) clear days prior to the date where the determination will be made.

51.3

If the Register is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of shareholders or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend or other distribution, the date on which notice of the meeting is sent or posted or the date on which the resolution of the directors resolving to pay such dividend or other distribution is passed, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any general meeting has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

52.	FRACTIONAL ENTITLEMENTS

52.1	Whenever, as a result of a consolidation or subdivision or conversion of shares, any shareholders are entitled to fractions of shares, the directors may:

(a)

sell the shares representing the fractions to any person (including (provided permitted by law) the Company) for the best price reasonably obtainable;

(b)

authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares to the purchaser or a person nominated by the purchaser; and

(c)

distribute the net proceeds of sale in due proportion among those shareholders.

52.2	Whenever any shareholder’s entitlement to a portion of sale amounts to less than a minimum figure determined by the directors, that shareholder’s portion may be distributed to an organisation which is a charity for the purposes of the Act or retained by the Company for the benefit of the Company.

52.3	The person to whom the shares are Transferred is not obliged to ensure that any purchase money is received by the person entitled to the relevant fractions and nor shall such transferee’s title to the shares be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the process leading to their sale.

PART I

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

53.	PROCEDURE FOR DECLARING DIVIDENDS

53.1

Subject to any rights and rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any of the shares, the Board may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and other distributions on shares in issue and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor.

53.2	Subject to any rights and rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any of the shares, the Company by ordinary resolution may declare dividends, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors.

53.3	No dividend may be declared or paid unless it is in accordance with shareholders’ respective rights.

53.4	If the Company’s share capital is divided into different classes, no interim dividend may be paid on shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrears.

53.5	The directors may pay at intervals any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to them that the profits available for distribution justify the payment.

53.6	If the directors act in good faith, they do not incur any liability to the holders of shares conferring preferred rights for any loss they may suffer by the lawful payment of an interim dividend on shares with deferred or non-preferred rights

53.7

The directors may, before recommending or declaring any dividend, set aside out of the funds legally available for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, in the absolute discretion of the directors be applicable for meeting contingencies, or for equalising dividends or for any other purpose to which those funds may be properly applied and pending such application may in the absolute discretion of the directors, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments (other than securities of the Company) as the directors may from time to time think fit.

54.	CALCULATION OF DIVIDENDS

54.1	Except as otherwise provided by these Articles and by the rights attached to shares, all dividends must be:

(a)

declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares on which the dividend is paid; and

(b)

apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amounts paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid.

54.2	If any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date or be entitled to dividends declared after a particular date it shall rank for or be entitled to dividends accordingly.

54.3	For the purposes of calculating dividends, no account is to be taken of any amount which has been paid up on a share in advance of a call or otherwise paid up in advance of its due payment date.

55.	PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

55.1	Where a dividend or other sum which is a distribution is payable in respect of a share, it must be paid by one or more of the following means:

(a)

transfer to a bank or building society account specified by the distribution recipient either in writing or as the directors may otherwise decide;

(b)

sending a cheque made payable to the distribution recipient by post to the distribution recipient at the distribution recipient’s registered address (if the distribution recipient is a holder of the share), or (in any other case) to an address specified by the distribution recipient either in writing or as the directors may otherwise decide;

(c)

sending a cheque made payable to such person by post to such person at such address as the distribution recipient has specified either in writing or as the directors may otherwise decide; or

(d)

by any other means of payment as the directors agree with the distribution recipient either in writing or by such other means as the directors decide.

55.2

If:

(a)

a share is subject to the Company’s lien; and

(b)

the directors are entitled to issue a lien enforcement notice in respect of it,

they may, instead of issuing a lien enforcement notice, deduct from any dividend or other sum payable in respect of the share any sum of money which is payable to the Company in respect of that share to the extent that they are entitled to require payment under a lien enforcement notice. Money so deducted must be used to pay any of the sums payable in respect of that share.

55.3	The Company must notify the distribution recipient in writing of:

(a)

the fact and amount of any such deduction;

(b)

any non-payment of a dividend or other sum payable in respect of a share resulting from any such deduction; and

(c)

how the money deducted has been applied.

55.4	In these Articles, the “distribution recipient” means, in respect of a share in respect of which a dividend or other sum is payable:

(a)

the holder of the share; or

(b)

if the share has two or more joint holders, whichever of them is named first in the Register; or

(c)

if the holder is no longer entitled to the share by reason of death or bankruptcy, or otherwise by operation of law, the transmittee.

56.	NO INTEREST ON DISTRIBUTIONS

The Company may not pay interest on any dividend or other sum payable in respect of a share unless otherwise provided by:

(a)

the terms on which the share was issued; or

(b)

the provisions of another agreement between the holder of that share and the Company.

57.	UNCLAIMED DISTRIBUTIONS

57.1	All dividends or other sums which are:

(a)

payable in respect of shares; and

(b)

unclaimed after having been declared or become payable,

may be invested or otherwise made use of by the directors for the benefit of the Company until claimed.

57.2	The payment of any such dividend or other sum into a separate account does not make the Company a trustee in respect of it.

57.3

If:

(a)

six years have passed from the date on which a dividend or other sum became due for payment; and

(b)

the distribution recipient has not claimed it,

the distribution recipient is no longer entitled to that dividend or other sum and it ceases to remain owing by the Company.

58.	NON-CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

58.1

Subject to the terms of issue of the share in question, the Company may, by ordinary resolution on the recommendation of the directors, decide to pay all or part of a dividend or other distribution payable in respect of a share by transferring non-cash assets of equivalent value (including, without limitation, shares or other securities in the Company).

58.2	For the purposes of paying a non-cash distribution, the directors may make whatever arrangements they think fit, including, where any difficulty arises regarding the distribution:

(a)

fixing the value of any assets;

(b)

paying cash to any distribution recipient on the basis of that value in order to adjust the rights of recipients; and

(c)

vesting any assets in trustees.

59.	WAIVER OF DISTRIBUTIONS

Distribution recipients may waive their entitlement to a dividend or other distribution payable in respect of a share by giving the Company notice in writing to that effect, but if:

(a)

the share has more than one holder; or

(b)

more than one person is entitled to the share, whether by reason of the death or bankruptcy of one or more joint holders, or otherwise,

the notice is not effective unless it is expressed to be given, and signed, by all the holders or persons otherwise entitled to the share.

decide to capitalise any profits of the Company (whether or not they are available for distribution) which are not required for paying a preferential dividend, or any sum standing to the credit of the Company’s share premium account or capital redemption reserve; and

(b)

appropriate any sum which they so decide to capitalise (a “capitalised sum”) to the persons who would have been entitled to it if it were distributed by way of dividend (the “persons entitled”) and in the same proportions.

60.2	Capitalised sums must be applied:

(a)

on behalf of the persons entitled; and

(b)

in the same proportions as a dividend would have been distributed to them.

60.3	Any capitalised sum may be applied in paying up new shares of a nominal amount equal to the capitalised sum which are then allotted credited as fully paid to the persons entitled or as they may direct. A capitalised sum which was appropriated from profits available for distribution may be applied:

75.1	The validity of:

(a)

a vote given in accordance with the terms of an appointment of a proxy; or

(b)

anything done by a proxy acting as duly appointed chairman of a meeting; or

(c)

any decision determining whether a proxy counts in a quorum at a meeting,

shall not be affected notwithstanding the death or mental disorder of the appointor or the revocation of the appointment of the proxy (or of the authority under which the appointment of the proxy was executed) or the Transfer of the share in respect of which the appointment of the proxy is given, unless notice in writing of such death, mental disorder, revocation or Transfer shall have been:

(i)

sent or supplied to the Company or any other person as the Company may require in the notice of the meeting, any instrument of proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting or in any invitation to appoint a proxy issued by the Company in relation to the meeting, in any manner permitted for the sending or supplying of appointments of proxy pursuant to these Articles; and

notice of the proposed amendment is given to the Company in writing by a person entitled to vote at the general meeting at which it is to be proposed not less than forty eight (48) hours before the meeting is to take place (or such later time as the chairman of the meeting may determine); and

(b)

the proposed amendment does not, in the reasonable opinion of the chairman of the meeting, materially alter the scope of the resolution.

77.2	A special resolution to be proposed at a general meeting may be amended by ordinary resolution, if:

(a)

the chairman of the meeting proposes the amendment at the general meeting at which the resolution is to be proposed; and

(b)

77.3	If the chairman of the meeting, acting in good faith, wrongly decides that an amendment to a resolution is out of order, the chairman of the meeting’s error does not invalidate the vote on that resolution.

77.4	Where for any purpose an ordinary resolution of the Company is required, a special resolution shall also be effective.

78.	CORPORATIONS ACTING BY REPRESENTATIVES AT MEETINGS

Any corporation which is a shareholder or a director may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any meeting of holders of a class of shares or of the directors or of a committee of directors, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual shareholder or director.

Such Losses incurred in defending or investigating any such proceeding shall be paid by the Company as they are incurred upon receipt, in each case, of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined by a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto

83.2

No such Indemnified Person of the Company and the personal representatives of the same shall be liable: (i) for the acts, receipts, neglects, defaults or omissions of any other director or officer or agent of the Company; or (ii) by reason of his having joined in any receipt for money not received by him personally or in any other act to which he was not a direct party; or (iii) for any loss on account of defect of title to any property of the Company; or (iv) on account of the insufficiency of any security in or upon which any money of the Company shall be invested or; (v) for any loss incurred through any bank, broker or other agent or any other party with whom any of the Company’s property may be deposited; or (vi) for any loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which may happen in or arise from the execution or discharge of the duties, powers, authorities or discretions of his office or in relation thereto; or (vii) for any loss occasioned by any negligence, default, breach of duty, breach of trust, error of judgement or oversight on such person’s part, unless he has acted dishonestly, with willful default or through fraud.The Company hereby acknowledges that certain Indemnified Persons may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance from or against (other than directors’ and officers’ or similar insurance obtained or maintained by or on behalf of the Company or any Group Company, including any such insurance obtained or maintained pursuant to Article 83.4 (Indemnity) below) Other Indemnitors. The Company hereby agrees that: (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to an Indemnified Person are primary and any obligation of any Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Person are secondary); (ii) it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person and shall be liable for the full amount of all Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of these Articles (or any other agreement between the Company and an Indemnified Person) without regard to any rights an Indemnified Person may have against any Other Indemnitors; and (iii) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of directors and officers

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Amended and Restated Articles provide that each of its executive officers or directors shall be indemnified out of its assets against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such directors or executive officers, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of LumiraDx’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his or her duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning LumiraDx or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Under the form of indemnification agreement filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this registration statement, LumiraDx will agree to indemnify its directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or executive officer.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling LumiraDx under the foregoing provisions, LumiraDx has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

•

any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

•

any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

•

the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

•

any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

II-4

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (a) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (b) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for 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.

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.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes (i) to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means; and (ii) to arrange or provide for a facility in the U.S. for the purpose of responding to such requests. The undertaking in subparagraph (i) above includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
