Exhibit 10.2

This Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is dated as of May 22, 2023 between Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the investor identified on the signature page hereto (the “Investor”).

WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the issuance by the Company of 100,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), with the rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, and limitations set forth in the certificate of designation of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Designation”); and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company desires to issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor desires to purchase from the Company, the Shares, in accordance with and in reliance upon exemption from registration afforded under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investor agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale. At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to sell, and the Investor agrees to purchase, a total of 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series J Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”).

2. Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via exchange of documents and signatures on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, Investor shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of the Company designated in writing by the Company to Investor, and the Company shall deliver to the Investor a book entry statement evidencing the Shares being purchased by the Investor.

3. Filing of Certificate of Designation. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have filed the Certificate of Designation with the State of Delaware.

4. Registration Rights. Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities under the Securities Act for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (the “Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, and shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been publicly sold by the Investor or (ii) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 in transactions in which the requirements of paragraph (c)(1) thereof do not apply, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent. The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Investor agrees to promptly furnish to the Company a completed and executed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire. All expenses (other than underwriting discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Investor) incurred by the Company in connection with the registration and the filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 4 shall be borne and paid by the Company. The term “Registrable Securities” means (i) the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company issuable or issued upon conversion of the Investor’s Series J Preferred Stock; and (ii) any Common Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, the shares referenced in clause (i); provided, that the Investor has completed and delivered to the Company a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire; and provided, further, that the Investor’s shares of Common Stock shall cease to be Registrable Securities upon the earliest to occur of the following: (A) sale pursuant to a Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act (in which case, only such security sold shall cease to be a Registrable Security); or (B) such security first becoming eligible for sale by the Investor pursuant to Rule 144 in a transaction in which the requirements of paragraph (c)(1) thereof do not apply.

5. Investor Representations and Warranties. By executing and delivering this Agreement, the Investor acknowledges, warrants and represents to the Company as follows:

(e) If an entity, the Investor has not been organized, reorganized or recapitalized specifically for the purpose of investing in the Shares, and this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Investor, has been duly executed by an authorized officer or representative of the Investor, and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable in accordance with its terms.

For the purposes hereof, and in accordance with Regulation SHO, the sale of shares of Common Stock resulting from the conversion of the Shares shall not be deemed a Short Sale.
