MDxHealth (MDXH) Risk Analysis

As of March 15, 2026, (i) MVM Partners LLP beneficially owned approximately 9.2% of our ordinary shares and has one representative at the board level (Dr. Eric Bednarski), (ii) Bleichroeder LP owned approximately 14.5% of our ordinary shares, (iii) Genomic Health, Inc. owned approximately 11.6% of our ordinary shares and (iv) AWM Investment Company beneficially owned approximately 9.5% of our ordinary shares. In addition, as long as two of MVM Partners LLP's funds (MVM V LP and MVM GP (No.5) LP) hold in aggregate 5% of our company's outstanding shares, they are entitled to have one observer at the board level (see Item 7B. "Related party transactions - MVM Subscription Agreement"). As a result, these shareholders will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our Articles of Association and approval of certain significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company or changes in management, in each case, which other shareholders might find favorable, and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these significant shareholders.

The trading market for our ordinary shares depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If no or only limited securities or industry analysts cover our company, the trading price for our ordinary shares could be negatively impacted. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades our equity securities or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our ordinary shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, or downgrades our securities, demand for our ordinary shares could decrease, which could cause the price of our ordinary shares or their trading volume to decline.

We are a Belgian company with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Articles of Association and by the laws governing companies incorporated in Belgium. The rights of shareholders and the responsibilities of members of our Board of Directors may be different from the rights and obligations of shareholders and boards of directors in companies governed by the laws of U.S. jurisdictions. In the performance of its duties, our Board is required by Belgian law to consider the interests of our company, its shareholders, its employees, and other stakeholders. It is possible that some of these parties will have interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders. See Item 10B. "Memorandum and Articles of Association."

Our executive officers, directors, greater than five percent shareholders and their affiliates beneficially owned approximately 4.1% of our outstanding ordinary shares as of March 15, 2026. Depending on the level of attendance at our general meetings of shareholders, these shareholders, either alone or voting together as a group, will be in a position to determine the outcome of decisions taken at any such general meeting. Any shareholder or group of shareholders controlling more than 50% of the share capital present and voting at our general meetings of shareholders may control any shareholder resolution requiring a simple majority, including the appointment of Board members, as well as certain decisions relating to our capital structure, the approval of certain significant corporate transactions and amendments to our Articles of Association. Among other consequences, this concentration of ownership may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals that shareholders may believe are in the best interest of the Company. Some of these persons or entities may have interests different than those of our shareholders.

Future sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares, or the perception that such sales will occur, could cause a decline in the market price of our ordinary shares. Approximately 22.7 million ordinary shares are held by our directors, executive officers and greater than five percent shareholders. If one or more of these securityholders sell substantial amounts of ordinary shares in the public market, or the market perceives that such sales may occur, the market price of our ordinary shares and our ability to raise capital through an issue of equity securities in the future could be adversely affected.

We may from time-to-time issue additional ordinary shares at a discount from the trading price of our ordinary shares. As a result, holders of our ordinary shares would experience immediate dilution upon the issuance of any of our ordinary shares at such discount. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, preference shares or shares. If we issue ordinary shares or other equity or equity-linked securities, holders of our ordinary shares would experience additional dilution and, as a result, the price of our ordinary shares may decline.

We are a Belgian limited liability company. Less than a majority of the members of our Board of Directors are residents of the United States. All or a substantial portion of the assets of such non-resident persons and a significant portion of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for holders of our ordinary shares to effect service of process upon such persons or on us or to enforce against them or us a judgment obtained in U.S. courts. Original actions or actions for the enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts relating to the civil liability provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States are not directly enforceable in Belgium. The United States and Belgium do not currently have a multilateral or bilateral treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments, other than arbitral awards, in civil and commercial matters. In order for a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by U.S. courts based on civil liability to produce any effect on Belgian soil, it is accordingly required that this judgment be recognized or be declared enforceable by a Belgian court in accordance with Articles 22 to 25 of the 2004 Belgian Code of Private International Law. Recognition or enforcement does not imply a review of the merits of the case and is irrespective of any reciprocity requirement. A U.S. judgment will, however, not be recognized or declared enforceable in Belgium, unless (in addition to compliance with certain technical provisions) the Belgian courts are satisfied of the following: - the effect of the enforcement judgment is not manifestly incompatible with Belgian public policy;- the judgment did not violate the rights of the defendant;- the judgment was not rendered in a matter where the parties transferred rights subject to transfer restrictions with the sole purpose of avoiding the application of the law applicable according to Belgian international private law;- the judgment is not subject to further recourse under U.S. law;- the judgment is not incompatible with a judgment rendered in Belgium or with a subsequent judgment rendered abroad that might be recognized in Belgium;- the claim was not filed outside Belgium after the same claim was filed in Belgium, while the claim filed in Belgium is still pending;- the Belgian courts did not have exclusive jurisdiction to rule on the matter;- the U.S. court did not accept its jurisdiction solely on the basis of the presence of the plaintiff or the location of goods not direct linked to the dispute in the United States;- the judgment did not concern the deposit or validity of intellectual property rights when the deposit or registration of those intellectual property rights was requested, done or should have been done in Belgium pursuant to international treaties;- the judgment did not relate to the validity, operation, dissolution, or liquidation of a legal entity that has its main seat in Belgium at the time of the petition of the U.S. court;- if the judgment relates to the opening, progress or closure of insolvency proceedings, it is rendered on the basis of the European Insolvency Regulation (EC Regulation No. 1346/2000 of May 29, 2000) or, if not, that (a) a decision in the principal proceedings is taken by a judge in the state where the most important establishment of the debtor was located or (b) a decision in territorial proceedings was taken by a judge in the state where the debtor had another establishment than its most important establishment; and - the judgment submitted to the Belgian court is authentic under the laws of the state where the judgment was issued; in case of a default judgment, it can be shown that under locally applicable laws the invitation to appear in court was properly served on the defendant; a document can be produced showing that the judgment is, under the rules of the state where it was issued, enforceable and was properly served on the defendant. In addition to recognition or enforcement, a judgment by a federal or state court in the United States against us may also serve as evidence in a similar action in a Belgian court if it meets the conditions required for the authenticity of judgments according to the law of the state where it was rendered. The findings of a federal or state court in the United States will not, however, be taken into account to the extent they appear incompatible with Belgian public policy. Based on the lack of a treaty as described above, U.S. investors may not be able to enforce against us or members of our Board of Directors or our executive management any judgments obtained in U.S. courts in civil and commercial matters, including judgments under the U.S. federal securities laws.

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act which, given the effectiveness of our Registration Statement on Form F-1 on November 3, 2021, will be December 31, 2026, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. We cannot predict if investors will find our ordinary shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our ordinary shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our ordinary shares and the price of our ordinary shares may be more volatile.

We qualify as a foreign private issuer and our ordinary shares are listed on Nasdaq. In accordance with the listing requirements of Nasdaq, we rely on home country governance requirements and certain exemptions thereunder rather than relying on the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. For example, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that regulate disclosure obligations and procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations applicable to a security registered under the Exchange Act, including the U.S. proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers and directors are exempt from the "short-swing" profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchases and sales of our securities. Moreover, while we currently publish annual and semi-annual reports on our website and file such financial reports with the SEC, we are not required to file periodic reports with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. public companies. Specifically, we are not required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K that a domestic company would be required to file under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning our company than there would be if we were not a foreign private issuer.

In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which (i) 50% or more of value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during such taxable year) consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income, or (ii) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income. A separate determination must be made after the close of each fiscal year as to whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for that year. For purposes of the above calculations, a non-U.S. corporation that owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the shares of another corporation is treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and received directly its proportionate share of the income of the other corporation. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, investment gains and certain rents and royalties. Cash is generally a passive asset for these purposes. The value goodwill is generally treated as an active asset if it is associated with business activities that produce active income. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder (as defined under Item 10E. "Taxation") holds our ordinary shares, we 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 our ordinary shares regardless of whether we continue to meet the PFIC test described above, unless the U.S. Holder makes a specified election once we cease to be a PFIC. If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder may be subject to adverse tax consequences regardless of whether we continue to qualify as a PFIC, including ineligibility for any preferred tax rates on capital gains or on actual or deemed dividends, interest charges on certain taxes treated as deferred, and additional reporting requirements. Based on the current estimates, and expected future composition, of our income and the value of our assets, including goodwill, we do not expect to be a PFIC for our current taxable year. However, our PFIC status for any taxable year is an annual determination that can be made only after the end of that year and will depend on the composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is fact-intensive and the applicable law is subject to varying interpretation. There can be no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, will agree with our position or that the IRS will not successfully challenge our position including our classification of certain income and assets as non-passive or our valuation of our tangible and intangible assets. A U.S. Holder may in certain circumstances mitigate the adverse tax consequences of the PFIC rules by filing an election to treat the PFIC as a Qualified Electing Fund ("QEF") or, if shares of the PFIC are "marketable stock" for purposes of the PFIC rules, by making a mark-to-market election with respect to the shares of the PFIC. However, we do not currently intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. Holders to make a QEF election if we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and prospective investors should assume that a QEF election will not be available. Furthermore, if a U.S. Holder were to make a mark-to-market election with respect to our ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder would be required to include annually in its U.S. federal taxable income (taxable at ordinary income rates) an amount reflecting any year end increase in the value of its ordinary shares. For further discussion of the PFIC rules and the adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences in the event we are classified as a PFIC, see Item 10E. "Taxation." The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are very complex. Current and prospective U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of PFIC status on the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares, the consequences to them of an investment in a PFIC, any elections available with respect to our ordinary shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares of a PFIC.

If a U.S. Holder (as defined below under Item 10E. "Taxation") is treated as owning, directly, indirectly or constructively, at least 10% of the value or voting power of our share capital, such U.S. Holder may be treated as a "U.S. shareholder" with respect to each "controlled foreign corporation" in our group. Because our group currently includes at least one U.S. subsidiary, any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries will be treated as controlled foreign corporations (regardless of whether we are treated as a controlled foreign corporation) for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026. However, due to a legislative change to the attribution rules enacted in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA"), signed into law on July 4, 2025, and effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, our non-U.S. subsidiaries will no longer be treated as controlled foreign corporations solely as a result of the fact that our group includes at least one U.S. subsidiary. A U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to annually report and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of the corporation's "Subpart F income," a portion of the corporation's earnings to the extent the corporation holds certain U.S. property, and for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026, a portion of the corporation's "global intangible low-taxed income" (commonly referred to as "GILTI"). The OBBBA, in part, replaces the GILTI regime with a similar regime with respect to a controlled foreign corporation's "net CFC tested income" for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. A U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be subject to current U.S. federal income tax with respect to such items, regardless of whether the controlled foreign corporation makes any distributions. An individual that is a U.S. shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a U.S. shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with controlled foreign corporation reporting obligations may subject a U.S. shareholder to significant monetary penalties. We cannot provide any assurances that we will furnish to any U.S. shareholder information that may be necessary to comply with the reporting and tax paying obligations applicable under the controlled foreign corporation rules of the Code. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to their investment in our ordinary shares. See Item 10E. "Taxation" for a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.

Under Belgian law and our constitutional documents, shareholders have a waivable and cancellable preferential subscription right to subscribe pro rata to their existing shareholdings to the issuance, against a contribution in cash, of new shares or other securities entitling the holder thereof to new shares, unless such rights are limited or cancelled by resolution of our general shareholders' meeting or, if so authorized by a resolution of such meeting, our Board of Directors. The exercise of preferential subscription rights by certain shareholders not residing in Belgium (including those in the United States, Australia, Israel, Canada or Japan as a result of the offering and taking into account the current shareholding and international network of our current Board of Directors) may be restricted by applicable law, practice or other considerations, and such shareholders may not be entitled to exercise such rights, unless the rights and shares are registered or qualified for sale under the relevant legislation or regulatory framework. In particular, we may not be able to establish an exemption from registration in the United States under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and we are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such preferential subscription rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act. Shareholders in jurisdictions outside Belgium who are not able or not permitted to exercise their preferential subscription rights in the event of a future preferential subscription rights, equity or other offering may suffer dilution of their shareholdings.
