all the information that may be important to purchasers of our securities. Prospective purchasers of our securities should carefully
read the entire prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, including the risks of investing

Overview
We
are a medical technology company focused on biometric data monitoring solutions. Our aim is to deliver innovative, remote monitoring
solutions to the medical, healthcare, and consumer markets, with a focus on diagnostic and post-diagnostic solutions for lifestyle and
chronic illnesses. We approach the diagnostic side of remote patient monitoring by applying innovation within existing business models
where reimbursement is established. We believe this approach reduces the risk associated with traditional medical device development
and accelerates the path to revenue. In post-diagnostic markets, we intend to apply medical grade biometrics to enable consumers to self-manage,
thereby driving patient compliance and reducing healthcare costs. We first focused on a segment of the ambulatory diagnostic cardiac
market, otherwise known as COM, while also providing the capability to perform all types of ambulatory cardiac studies.
We
developed our Bioflux® (“Bioflux”) COM technology, which has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”), comprised of a monitoring device and software components, which we made available to the market under limited release
on April 6, 2018, to assess, establish and develop sales processes and market dynamics. Full market release of the Bioflux device for
commercialization occurred in April 2019. The fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 marked our first year of expanded commercialization efforts,
focused on sales growth and expansion. In 2021, we announced the initial launch of Bioheart, a direct-to-consumer heart monitor that
offers the same continuous heart monitoring technology used by physicians. In addition to developing and receiving regulatory approval
or clearance of other technologies that enhance our ecosystem, in 2022, we announced the launch of our Biotres Cardiac Monitoring Device
(“Biotres”), a three-lead device for ECG and arrhythmia monitoring intended for lower risk patients, a much broader addressable
market segment. We have since expanded our sales efforts to 33 states, with intention to expand further and compete in the broader US
market using an insourcing business model. Our technology has a large potential total addressable market, which can include hospitals,
clinics and physicians’ offices, as well as other Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities (“IDTFs)”. We believe our
technological and clinical advantage with our solution’s insourcing model, which empowers physicians with state-of-the-art technology
and charges technology service fees for its use, has the benefit of a reduced operating overhead for us, and enables a more efficient
market penetration and distribution strategy.
We
are a technology company focused on earning utilization-based recurring technology fee revenue. Our ability to grow this type of revenue
is predicated on the size and quality of our sales force and their ability to penetrate the market and place devices with clinically
focused, repeat users of our cardiac study technology. We plan to grow our sales force to address new markets and achieve sales penetration
in the markets currently served.
Corporate
Information
Our
principal executive office is located at 203 Redwood Shores Pkwy Suite 600, Redwood City, California, and our telephone number is (800)
590-4155. Our website address is www.biotricity.com. Our company was incorporated on August 29, 2012 in the State of Nevada.
iMedical
Innovations Inc. (“iMedical”) was incorporated on July 3, 2014 under the Canada Business Corporations Act. On February 2,
2016, we completed the acquisition of iMedical and moved the operations of iMedical into Biotricity Inc. through a reverse take-over
(the “Acquisition Transaction”).
Smaller
Reporting Company
We
are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
As a result, we may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations available to smaller reporting companies, including the
exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2022, reduced disclosure about
our executive compensation arrangements and the requirements to provide only two years of audited financial statements in our annual
reports and registration statements. We will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” as long as (1) we have a public
float (i.e., the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates) less than $250 million calculated as of the last business day
of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (2) our annual revenues are less than $100 million for our previous fiscal year
and we have either no public float or a public float of less than $700 million as of the end of that fiscal year’s second fiscal
quarter. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for
investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.
Risks
Associated with our Business
Our
business is subject to numerous risks, as described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus
supplement and in any free writing prospectuses we have authorized for use in connection with a specific offering, and under similar
headings in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
The
Securities We May Offer
We
may offer shares of our common stock, preferred stock and/or warrants to purchase any of such securities,
either individually or as units in combination with other securities, with a total value of up to $50,000,000 from time to time under
this prospectus at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of any offering. This prospectus provides you with a general description
of the securities we may offer. Each time we offer a type or series of securities under this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus
supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and other important terms of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:
|
● |
designation or classification; |
|
|

a discussion of material
United States federal income tax considerations, if any. |
The
prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you may also add, update or change
information contained in this prospectus or in documents we have incorporated by reference. However, no prospectus supplement or free
writing prospectus will offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of the effectiveness of
the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
We
may sell the securities directly to investors or to or through agents, underwriters or dealers. We, and our agents, underwriters or dealers
reserve the right to accept or reject all or part of any proposed purchase of securities. If we do offer securities to or through agents,
underwriters or dealers, we will include in the applicable prospectus supplement:
|
● |
the names of those agents,
underwriters, or dealers; |
|
● |
applicable fees, discounts
and commissions to be paid to them; |
|
● |
details regarding over-allotment
options, if any; and |
|
● |
the net proceeds to us. |
The
following is a summary of the securities we may offer with this prospectus.
Common
Stock
We
may issue shares of our common stock from time to time. Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all
matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Under our amended and restated articles of incorporation,
as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) and amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”), our stockholders
do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders
of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors
out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share
ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities
and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders
of shares of our common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption, or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking
fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to,
and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate in the future.
Preferred
Stock
We
may issue shares of our preferred stock from time to time, in one or more series. Our board of directors will determine the designations,
voting powers, preferences and rights of the preferred stock, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including
dividend rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights, terms of redemption or repurchase, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms
and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series. Convertible preferred stock will be convertible into
our common stock or exchangeable for other securities. Conversion may be mandatory or at the holder’s option and would be at prescribed
conversion rates. If we sell any series of preferred stock under this prospectus, we will fix the designations, voting powers, preferences
and rights of such series of preferred stock, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in the certificate
of designation relating to that series. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part,
or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that describes the
terms of the series of preferred stock that we are offering before the issuance of the related series of preferred stock.
We
urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement (and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) related
to the series of preferred stock being offered, as well as the complete certificate of designation that contains the terms of the applicable
series of preferred stock.
Warrants
We
may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock and/or preferred stock in one or more series. We may issue warrants
independently or as units in combination with common stock and/or preferred stock, and the warrants may be
attached to or separate from these securities. In this prospectus, we have summarized certain general features of the
warrants.
We
urge you, however, to read the applicable prospectus supplement (and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided
to you) related to the series of warrants being offered, as well as any warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain the
terms of the warrants. We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate
by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of warrant and/or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable,
that contain the terms of the particular series of warrants we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of
such warrants.
Any
warrants issued under this prospectus may be evidenced by warrant certificates. Warrants also may be issued under an applicable warrant
agreement that we enter into with a warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of the warrant agent, if applicable, in the
prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of warrants being offered.
Units
We
may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We
may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements
with a unit agent. Each unit agent will be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit
agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.
In
this prospectus, we have summarized certain general features of the units under “Description of Units.” We urge you, however,
to read the applicable prospectus supplement (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) related
to the series of units being offered, as well as the complete unit agreement that contains the terms of the units. We will file as exhibits
to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the
SEC, the specific unit agreement that contains the terms of the particular series of units we are offering, before the issuance of such
units.
RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully
the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement
and any related free writing prospectus, and discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by subsequent annual, quarterly and other reports that are incorporated by reference into this
prospectus in their entirety. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be
material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material
adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical
trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline,
resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section below entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference herein, contains, and any applicable prospectus supplement or free
writing prospectus including the documents we incorporate by reference therein may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including
statements regarding our future financial condition, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations.
Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements
by terminology such as “believe,” “will,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “might,” “approximately,”
“expect,” “predict,” “could,” “potentially” or the negative of these terms or other similar
expressions. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, projections, outlook, analyses or current
expectations.
Discussions
containing these forward-looking statements may be found, among other places, in the sections entitled “Business,” “Risk
Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained
in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto.
These
statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievement to differ materially from those expressed or implied
by these forward-looking statements. We discuss in greater detail, and incorporate by reference into this prospectus in their entirety,
many of these risks and uncertainties under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement,
in any free writing prospectus we may authorize for use in connection with a specific offering, and in the documents incorporated by
reference herein. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to
risks and uncertainties. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking
statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
USE

Special
Voting Preferred Stock
The
Board authorized the designation of a class of the Special Voting Preferred Stock, with the rights and preferences specified below. For
purposes of deferring Canadian tax liabilities that would be incurred by certain of our shareholders, iMedical and its shareholders have
entered into a transaction pursuant to which the eligible holders, who would have otherwise received shares of Common Stock of the Company
pursuant to the Acquisition Transaction, received Exchangeable Shares. The right to vote the Common Stock equivalent of such Exchangeable
Shares shall be conducted by the vote of the Special Voting Preferred Stock issued to the Trustee.
In
that regard, we have designated one share of preferred stock as the Special Voting Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.
The rights and preferences of the Special Voting Preferred Stock entitle the holder (the Trustee and, indirectly, the holders of the
Exchangeable Shares) to the following:
●
the right to vote in all circumstances in which holders of our Common Stock have the right to vote, with the Common Stock as one class;
●
an aggregate number of votes equal to the number of shares of our Common Stock that are issuable to the holders of the outstanding Exchangeable
Shares;
●
the same rights as the holders of our Common Stock as to notices, reports, financial statements and attendance at all stockholder meetings;
●
no entitlement to dividends; and
●
a total sum of $1.00 upon windup, dissolution or liquidation of the Company.
The
Company may cancel the Special Voting Preferred Stock when there are no Exchangeable Shares outstanding and no option or other commitment
of iMedical of its affiliates, which could require iMedical or its affiliates to issue more Exchangeable Shares.
As
set forth above, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, through the Special Voting Preferred Stock, have voting rights and other attributes
corresponding to the Common Stock. The Exchangeable Shares provide an opportunity for Eligible Holders to obtain a full deferral of taxable
capital gains for Canadian federal income tax purposes in specified circumstances.
Series
A Preferred Stock
Pursuant
to the Certificate of Designation of Rights, Powers, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(the “Series A COD”), we designated 20,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series
A Preferred”). The Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any voting rights except as may be required by applicable law.
The Series A Preferred Stock is junior to our existing undesignated preferred stock, and unless otherwise set forth in the applicable
certificate of designations, shall be junior to any future issuance of preferred stock. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”)
for the Series A Preferred Stock to date has been $1,000 per share. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, the Series A Preferred
Stock does not have voting rights and does not have any liquidation rights.
Dividends
Dividends
shall be paid at the rate of 12% per annum of the amount of the purchase price of the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends
shall be paid quarterly unless the holder and us mutually agree to accrue and defer any such dividend.
Conversion
The
Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock commencing 24 months after the issuance date of the Series A Preferred
Stock. Upon which, on a monthly basis, up to 5% of the aggregate amount of the purchase price can be converted (subject to adjustment
for changes in the holder’s ownership of the underlying Series A Preferred Stock). The conversion price is equal to the greater
of $0.001 or a 15% discount to the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our Common Stock five Trading Days immediately
prior to the conversion date (the “Conversion Rate). Additionally, subject to certain provisions, the holder may exchange its Series
A Preferred Stock into any Common Stock financing being conducted by us at a 15% discount to the pricing of that financing.
Other
Adjustments and Rights
●
The Conversion Rate (and shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) will be appropriately adjusted to reflect stock
splits, stock dividends business combinations and similar recapitalization.
●
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of certain qualifying distributions on the same basis
as if they were holders of our Common Stock on an as converted basis.
Company
Redemption
We
may redeem all or part of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock after one year from the date of issuance by paying an amount equal
to the aggregate purchase price paid, adjusted for any reduction in Series A Preferred Stock holdings, multiplied by 110% plus accrued
dividends.
Voting
Except
as otherwise expressly required by Nevada law, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have voting rights.
Series
B Preferred Stock
We
filed a certificate of designations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with the Nevada Secretary of State designating 600 shares
of our shares of Preferred Stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and setting forth the voting and other powers, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other rights of the Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a Stated
Value of $10,000 per share.
The
Series B Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends, distributions and payments upon our liquidation, dissolution and
winding up, ranks senior to all of our capital stock unless the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock consent to the creation of other capital stock that is senior or equal in rank to the Series B Preferred Stock.
Dividends
Holders
of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, in shares of Common Stock or cash on the Stated Value at an
annual rate of 8% (which will increase to 15% after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering Event (as defined in the
Series B COD) until such time as any such Triggering Event is subsequently cured, in which case the adjustment shall cease to be effective
as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure). Dividends will be payable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock, upon any redemption, or upon any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event (as defined in the Series B COD).
Conversion
Holders
of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock into a number of shares of common stock determined
by dividing the Stated Value (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts due) by the conversion price. The initial conversion
price is $3.50, subject to adjustment upon a stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction
or in the event we sell or issue Common Stock at a price lower than the then-effective conversion price, including the issuance of options
with an exercise price lower than the then-effective conversion price. Holders may not convert the Series B Preferred Stock to Common
Stock to the extent such conversion would cause such holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding
Common Stock. In addition, we will not issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in an amount exceeding
19.9% of the outstanding Common Stock as of the initial issuance date unless we receive shareholder approval for such issuances.
Holders
may elect to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Common Stock at an alternate conversion price equal to 80% (or 70% if our
Common Stock is suspended from trading on or delisted from a principal trading market or if we have effected a reverse split of the Common
Stock) of the lowest daily volume weighed average price of the common stock during the Alternate Conversion Measuring Period (as defined
in the Series B COD). In the event we receive a conversion notice that elects an alternate conversion price, we may, at our option, elect
to satisfy our obligation under such conversion with payment in cash in an amount equal to 110% of the conversion amount.
Upon
the 24-month anniversary of the initial issuance date of the Series B Preferred Stock, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock
will automatically convert to such number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such shares of Series
B Preferred Stock by the conversion price in effect at that time.
Redemption
At
any time after the earlier of a holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event notice and such holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event
and ending on the 20th trading day after the later of (x) the date such Triggering Event is cured and (y) such holder’s receipt
of a Triggering Event notice, such holder may require us to redeem such holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
Upon
any Bankruptcy Triggering Event (as defined in the Series B COD), we will be required to immediately redeem all of the outstanding shares
of Series B Preferred Stock.
We
will have the right at any time to redeem all or any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding at a price equal to 110%
of the Stated Value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts due.
Voting
Holders
of the Series B Preferred Stock will have the right to vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock, subject to the beneficial
ownership limitation set forth in the Series B COD.
Certain
Anti-Takeover Effects of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and Nevada Law
The
provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and certain provision of the NRS described below may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us.
Our
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that:
●
the authorized number of directors is determined by our board of directors and therefore the board of directors has the ability to increase
the size of the board;
●
vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors;
●
our board of directors will be authorized to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock, the rights of which will be determined
at the discretion of the board of directors and that, if issued, that could proportionately reduce, minimize or otherwise adversely affect
the voting power and other rights of holders of the Company’s capital stock or that could have the effect of delaying, deferring
or preventing a change in control.
The
NRS contains a number of anti-takeover provisions, including:
Business
Combinations. The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the NRS generally
prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any
interested stockholder for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder,
unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status or the
combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote
of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders, and extends beyond the
expiration of the two-year period, unless:
|
● |
the combination was approved
by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or the transaction by which the person first became
an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or the combination
is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
if the consideration to
be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested
stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which
it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement
of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred
stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher. |
A
“combination” is generally defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer,
or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (a) an aggregate
market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal
to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net
income of the corporation, and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested
stockholder.
In
general, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years,
did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in
control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders
the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
Control
Share Acquisitions. The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS apply to
“issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders
of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada. The control share statute prohibits
an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporation’s stock after crossing certain
ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders.
The statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a
majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once an acquirer crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares in
an offer or acquisition and acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived
of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are
accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who
do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their
shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.
A
corporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control share provisions by making an election in its articles
of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person
has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of the control
share statutes, and will be subject to these statutes if we are an “issuing corporation” as defined in such statutes.
The
effect of the Nevada control share statutes is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person,
will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special
meeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our company.
Limitations
of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees
NRS
78.138 provides that directors of a corporation is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any
damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless: (a) the presumption that directors
and officers acted in good faith on an informed basis with a view toward the best interest of the corporation has been rebutted and (b)
it is proven that:
|
● |
The director’s or
officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and |
|
● |
such breach involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. |
Our
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law
and may indemnify employees and other agents. Our Articles of Incorporation also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred
by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding.
We
have obtained a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
The
limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing
a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against
directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations
and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant
to these indemnification provisions.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us,
we have 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.
Listing
of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq
Our
common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “BTCY.”
Transfer
Agent and Registrar
The
transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Securities Transfer Corporation.

that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders
of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable

warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or
warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder
of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action
its right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
The
following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplement and related free
writing prospectus, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. We may issue units
consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We will issue each
unit so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. As a result, the holder of a unit will
have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that
the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date. We
may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements
with a unit agent. Each unit agent will be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of any unit
agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units. The summary below and that contained in any prospectus
supplement is qualified in its entirety by reference to all of the provisions of the unit agreement and/or unit certificate, and depositary
arrangements, if applicable. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements and any related free writing prospectuses related
to the units that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreement and/or unit certificate, and depositary
arrangements, as applicable, that contain the terms of the units.
We
will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports
that we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement and/or unit certificate, and depositary arrangements, as applicable, that contain
the terms of the particular series of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of such units.
We
will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units being offered, including:
|
● |
the designation and terms
of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held
or transferred separately; |

issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities composing the units; |
|
|
|
|
● |
whether the units will
be issued in fully registered or global form; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
any other terms of the
units. |
LEGAL
OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES
We
can issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail
below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable trustee, depositary
or warrant agent maintain for this purpose as the “holders” of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the
securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered
in their own names, as “indirect holders” of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders,
and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders.
Book-Entry
Holders
We
may issue securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be
represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf
of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system. These participating institutions, which
are referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.
Only
the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Global securities will be registered
in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for global securities, we will recognize only the depositary as the
holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments
it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary
and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so
under the terms of the securities.
As
a result, investors in a global security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security,
through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary’s book-entry system or holds an interest
through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not legal holders,
of the securities.
Street
Name Holders
We
may terminate a global security or issue securities that are not issued in global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold
their securities in their own names or in “street name.” Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered
in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial
interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution.
For
securities held in street name, we or any applicable trustee or depositary will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other
financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we or any such trustee or
depositary will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers
who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required
to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not holders, of those securities.
Legal
Holders
Our
obligations, as well as the obligations of any applicable trustee or third party employed by us or a trustee, run only to the legal holders
of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any
other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a security or has no choice because
we are issuing the securities only in global form.
For
example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that
holder is required, under agreements with its participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does
not do so.
Special
Considerations for Indirect Holders
If
you hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in book-entry form because the securities are represented
by one or more global securities or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:
|
● |
how it handles securities
payments and notices; |
|
|
|
|
● |
whether it imposes fees
or charges; |
|
● |
how it would handle a request
for the holders’ consent, if ever required; |
|
|
|
|
● |
whether and how you can
instruct it to send you securities registered in your own name so you can be a holder, if that is permitted in the future; |
|
|
|
|
● |
how it would exercise rights
under the securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to act to protect their interests; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
if the securities are in
book-entry form, how the depositary’s rules and procedures will affect these matters. |
Global
Securities
A
global security is a security that represents one or any other number of individual securities held by a depositary. Generally, all securities
represented by the same global securities will have the same terms.
Each
security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we issue to, deposit with and register in the name of
a financial institution or its nominee that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary.
Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, The DTC
will be the depositary for all securities issued in book-entry form.
A
global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary,
unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under “—Special Situations When a Global
Security Will Be Terminated.” As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner
and legal holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests
in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that
in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by
a global security will not be a legal holder of the security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security.
If
the prospectus supplement for a particular security indicates that the security will be issued in global form only, then the security
will be represented by a global security at all times unless and until the global security is terminated. If termination occurs, we may
issue the securities through another book-entry clearing system or decide that the securities may no longer be held through any book-entry
clearing system.
Special
Considerations for Global Securities
As
an indirect holder, an investor’s rights relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the investor’s
financial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We do not recognize an indirect
holder as a holder of securities and instead deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.
If
securities are issued only as global securities, an investor should be aware of the following:
|
● |
an investor cannot cause
the securities to be registered in his or her name, and cannot obtain non-global certificates for his or her interest in the securities,
except in the special situations we describe below; |
|
|
|
|
● |
an investor will be an
indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank or broker for payments on the securities and protection of his or her legal
rights relating to the securities, as we describe above; |
|
|
|
|
● |
an investor may not be
able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and to other institutions that are required by law to own their
securities in non-book-entry form; |
|
|
|
|
● |
an investor may not be
able to pledge his or her interest in the global security in circumstances where certificates representing the securities must be
delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order for the pledge to be effective; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the depositary’s
policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investor’s
interest in the global security; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we and any applicable trustee
have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositary’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in the global security,
nor will we or any applicable trustee supervise the depositary in any way; |
|
● |
the depositary may, and
we understand that DTC will, require that those who purchase and sell interests in the global security within its book-entry system
use immediately available funds, and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
financial institutions
that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interest in the global security,
may also have their own policies affecting payments, notices and other matters relating to the securities. |
There
may be more than one financial intermediary in the chain of ownership for an investor. We do not monitor and are not responsible for
the actions of any of those intermediaries.
Special
Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated
In
a few special situations described below, a global security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates
representing those interests. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold securities directly or in street name will be up to
the investor. Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests in securities transferred to
their own names, so that they will be direct holders. We have described the rights of holders and street name investors above.
Unless
we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, a global security will terminate when the following special situations
occur:
|
● |
if the depositary notifies
us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global security and we do not appoint another
institution to act as depositary within 90 days; |
|
|
|
|
● |
if we notify any applicable
trustee that we wish to terminate that global security; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
if an event of default
has occurred with regard to securities represented by that global security and has not been cured or waived. |
The
applicable prospectus supplement may also list additional situations for terminating a global security that would apply only to the particular
series of securities covered by the applicable prospectus supplement. When a global security terminates, the depositary, and neither
we nor any applicable trustee, is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial direct holders.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, direct sales to the public, “at the market”
offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities to or through one or more
underwriters or dealers (acting as principal or agent), through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute securities
from time to time in one or more transactions:
|
● |
at a fixed price or prices,
which may be changed; |
|
|
|
|
● |
at market prices prevailing
at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
|
● |
at prices related to such
prevailing market prices; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
at negotiated prices. |
A
prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe
the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:
|
● |
the name or names of the
underwriters, dealers, agents or other purchasers, if any; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the purchase price of the
securities or other consideration therefor, and the proceeds we will receive from the sale; |
|
|
|
|
● |
any option to purchase
additional shares or other options under which underwriters, dealers, agents or other purchasers may purchase additional securities
from us; |
|
|
|
|
● |
any agency fees or underwriting
discounts to be allowed or paid to the agent or underwriters and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation; |
|
|
|
|
● |
any public offering price; |
|
|
|
|
● |
any discounts or concessions
allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
any securities exchange
or market on which the securities may be listed. |
Only
underwriters named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. Dealers
and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on
resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may
be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
If
underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to
time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations
of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement.
We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without
a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus
supplement other than securities covered by any option to purchase additional shares or other option. If a dealer is used in the sale
of securities, we, or an underwriter, will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities
to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required, we will set forth in the
prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions
allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters, dealers or agents with whom we have a
material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, dealer or agent, the nature of any such
relationship.
We
may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale
of securities, and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement
states otherwise, the agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
We
may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at
the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery
on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation
of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.
We
may provide agents, dealers and underwriters with indemnification against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents, dealers or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents,
dealers and underwriters or their affiliates may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.
All
securities we may offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters
may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.
We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.
Any
underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids. Overallotment involves
sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying
security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate covering or other short-covering transactions
involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the option to purchase additional shares or in the open market after
the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open
market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession
from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short
positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters
may discontinue any of the activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange or over-the-counter market or otherwise.
Any
underwriters, dealers or agents that are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq may engage in passive market making transactions in our
common stock on Nasdaq in accordance Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering,
before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations
and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of
the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however,
the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize
the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued
at any time.
The
specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The
anticipated date of delivery of offered securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to each offer.

validity of the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus is being passed upon by Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel
LLP, New York, New York, which has acted as securities counsel to Biotricity Inc. Additional legal matters may be passed upon

INFORMATION
NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
Item
14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.
The
following sets forth the estimated costs and expenses, all of which shall be borne by Biotricity Inc. (the “Registrant”),
in connection with the offering of the securities pursuant to this registration statement.
SEC registration fee | |
$ | 7,380 | * |
FINRA filing fee | |
| 8,000 | |
Transfer agent and registrar expenses | |
| (1 | ) |
Accounting fees and expenses | |
| (1 | ) |
Legal fees and expenses | |
| (1 | ) |
Printing and engraving expenses | |
| (1 | ) |
Miscellaneous | |
$ | (1 | ) |
Total | |
$ | (1 | ) |
(1)
|
These
fees are calculated based on the securities offered and the number of issuances and, accordingly, cannot be estimated at this time. An
estimate of the aggregate expenses in connection with the sale and distribution of securities being offered will be included in
the applicable prospectus supplement. |
|
|
* |
Excludes
the registration fee previously paid in connection with unsold securities pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6). |
Item
15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statute provides that, subject to certain exceptions, a director or officer is not individually liable to
the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director
or officer unless the presumption that the director or officer acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interest
of the corporation is rebutted and it is proven that (1) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a
director or officer and (2) his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.
This
provision is intended to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages
resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. As a consequence of this provision, stockholders
of our company will be unable to recover monetary damages against directors or officers for action taken by them that may constitute
negligence or gross negligence in performance of their duties unless such conduct falls within one of the foregoing exceptions. The provision,
however, does not alter the applicable standards governing a director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty and does not eliminate
or limit the right of our company or any stockholder to obtain an injunction or any other type of non-monetary relief in the event of
a breach of fiduciary duty.
The
Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification of directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law (as amended from time to time). Section 78.7502 of
the Nevada Revised Statutes further provides for discretionary indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents for damages
by solely reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation provided that the person
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Registrant and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Any
underwriting agreement, agency agreement, equity distribution agreement or similar agreement that the Registrant may enter into will
likely provide for indemnification by any underwriters or agents of the Registrant, its directors, its officers who sign the registration
statement and the Registrant’s controlling persons for some liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Item
16. Exhibits.
The
exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement, which immediately precedes the
Signature Page and which Exhibit Index is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item
17. Undertakings.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
(1) |
To file, during any period
in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
|
(i) |
To include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
To reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation
of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
to such information in the registration statement; |
provided,
however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are incorporated
by reference in this registration statement or are contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this
registration statement.
|
(2) |
That, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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. |
|
(3) |
To remove from registration
by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
|
(4) |
That, for the purpose of
determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
|
(i) |
Each prospectus filed by
the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus
was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
|
(ii) |
Each prospectus required
to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to
an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a)
of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such
form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described
in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter,
such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration
statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part
of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective
date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
|
(5) |
That, for the purpose of
determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act 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: |
|
(i) |
any preliminary prospectus
or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
|
(ii) |
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; |
|
(iii) |
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 |
|
(iv) |
any other communication
that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
|
(6) |
That, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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. |
|
(7) |
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

Re: |
Registration
Statement on Form S-3 |
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as counsel to Biotricity Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing of a registration
statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
relating to the offering and sale from time to time, as set forth in the Registration Statement, the form of prospectus contained therein
(the “Prospectus”), and one or more supplements to the Prospectus (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”), by the Company
of up to $50,000,000 aggregate initial offering price of securities consisting of (i) shares of the Company’s common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), (ii) shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the “Preferred Stock”), (iii) warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or (iv) units
consisting of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, or Warrants, or any combination thereof, in one or more series (the “Units”).
The Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Warrants and Units are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”
We
have examined originals or certified copies of such corporate records of the Company and other certificates and documents of officials
of the Company, public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this letter. We have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of each natural person signing any document reviewed by us, the authority of each person signing
in a representative capacity (other than the Company) any document reviewed by us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us or filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) as conformed and certified or reproduced copies. As to any facts material to our opinion, we
have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon certificates
of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Company.
Based
upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion
that:
1.
With respect to Securities constituting Common Stock to be sold by the Company, when (i) the Company has taken all necessary action to
authorize and approve the issuance of such Common Stock, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters and (ii) such Common Stock
has been issued and delivered, with certificates representing such Common Stock having been duly executed, countersigned, registered
and delivered or, if uncertificated, valid book-entry notations therefor having been made in the share register of the Company, in accordance
with the terms of the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement or, if such Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of Warrants, the applicable warrant agreement therefor, against payment (or delivery) of the consideration therefor provided
for therein, such Common Stock (including any Common Stock duly issued upon exercise of Warrants that are exercisable to purchase Common
Stock) will have been duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable.

2.
With respect to Securities constituting Preferred Stock, when (i) the Company has taken all necessary action to authorize and approve
the issuance and terms of the shares of the series of such Preferred Stock, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters, including
the adoption of a resolution fixing the number of shares in any series of Preferred Stock and the designation of relative rights, preferences
and limitations in any series of Preferred Stock and the filing of a certificate of designation with respect to the series with the Secretary
of State of the State of Nevada as required by 78.1955 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and (ii) such Preferred Stock has been issued and
delivered, with certificates representing such Preferred Stock having been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered or,
if uncertificated, valid book-entry notations therefor having been made in the share register of the Company, in accordance with the
terms of the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement or, if such Preferred Stock is issuable upon the exercise
of Warrants, the applicable warrant agreement therefor, against payment (or delivery) of the consideration therefor provided for therein,
such Preferred Stock (including any Preferred Stock duly issued upon exercise of Warrants that are exercisable to purchase Preferred
Stock) will have been duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable.
3.
With respect to the Warrants, when (i) the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has taken all necessary corporate
action to approve the creation of and the issuance and terms of the Warrants, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters;
(ii) the warrant agreement or agreements relating to the Warrants have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the
Company and the warrant agent appointed by the Company; and (iii) the Warrants or certificates representing the Warrants have been duly
executed, countersigned, registered and delivered in accordance with the appropriate warrant agreement or agreements and the applicable
definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Board, upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for
therein, the Warrants will be validly issued and will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their terms.
4.
With respect to Securities constituting Units, when (i) the Board has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the creation of
and the issuance and terms of the Units, terms of the offering thereof and related matters; (ii) the agreement or agreements relating
to the Securities comprising the Units have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company; and (iii) the certificates
representing the Securities comprising the Units have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered in accordance with
the appropriate agreements, the Units will be valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with the their terms.
The
opinions and other matters in this letter are qualified in their entirety and subject to the following:
A.
With respect to the opinions above, we have assumed that, in the case of each offering and sale of Securities, (i) the Registration Statement,
and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), will have become effective under the Act and such effectiveness or
qualification shall not have been terminated or rescinded; (ii) a Prospectus Supplement will have been prepared and filed with the Commission
describing such Securities; (iii) such Securities will have been issued and sold in compliance with applicable United States federal
and state securities Laws (hereinafter defined) and pursuant to and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the applicable
Prospectus Supplement; (iv) unless such Securities constitute Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exchange or conversion of
Securities constituting Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants, a definitive
purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to the issuance and sale of such Securities will have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto; (v) at the time of the issuance of such Securities, (a) the Company
will validly exist and be duly qualified and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and (b) the Company
will have the necessary corporate power and due authorization; (vi) the terms of such Securities and of their issuance and sale will
have been established in conformity with and so as not to violate, or result in a default under or breach of, the articles of incorporation
and bylaws of the Company and any applicable law or any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any
requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company; (vii) if such
Securities constitute Common Stock or Preferred Stock, (a) sufficient shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock will be authorized for
issuance under the articles of incorporation of the Company that have not otherwise been issued or reserved for issuance and (b) the
consideration for the issuance and sale of such Common Stock or Preferred Stock established by the Board and provided for in the applicable
definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement (or, if Common Stock or Preferred Stock is issuable upon exercise of Warrants,
the applicable warrant agreement) will not be less than the par value of such Common Stock or Preferred Stock; (viii) if such Securities
constitute Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants, the action with respect to such Warrants referred to in
Paragraph 3 above will have been taken; and (ix) if such Securities constitute Warrants that are exercisable for Securities constituting
Common Stock or Preferred Stock, the Company will have then taken all necessary action to authorize and approve the issuance of such
Common Stock or Preferred Stock upon exercise of such Warrants, the terms of such exercise and related matters and to reserve such Common
Stock or Preferred Stock for issuance upon such exercise.
