Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 25, 2018, Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Report”) in which it (a) furnished, under Item 2.02, a press release announcing the Company’s operating and financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 (the “Initial Release”), and (b) furnished, under Item 7.01, a presentation discussing the Company's operating and financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) and the accompanying press release attached to this Amendment as Exhibit 99.1 (the “Revised Release”) in order to modify a statement made in the Initial Release. Specifically, in discussing the Company’s agreement with NinePoint Medical, Inc. (“NinePoint”) to become the exclusive worldwide distributor for the NvisionVLE® Imaging System with Real-time Targeting™ using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), the Initial Release suggested that NinePoint had received both Section 510(k) and CE mark clearances for its products. However, although NinePoint has received Section 510(k) clearance for its Nvision VLE® Imaging System and NinePoint is preparing an application for CE mark approval of its products, NinePoint has not yet received CE mark approval for its products.
