| BUSINESS | BUSINESS OrthoPediatrics Corp., a Delaware corporation, is a medical device company committed to designing, developing and marketing anatomically appropriate implants and devices for children with orthopedic conditions, giving pediatric orthopedic surgeons and caregivers the ability to treat children with technologies specifically designed to meet their needs. We sell our specialized products, including PediLoc®, PediPlates®, Cannulated Screws, PediFlexTM nail, PediNailTM, PediLoc® Tibia, ACL Reconstruction System, Locking Cannulated Blade, Locking Proximal Femur, Spica Tables, RESPONSETM Spine, BandLocTM, Pediguard, Pediatric Nailing Platform | Femur, Orthex®, QuickPack® and ApiFix® Mid-C System, to various hospitals and medical facilities throughout the United States and various international markets. We currently use a contract manufacturing model for the manufacturing of implants and related surgical instrumentation. The Company began selling its products in the United States in 2008 and internationally in 2011. In 2017, we expanded operations and established legal entities in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, permitting us to sell under an agency model direct to local hospitals in these countries. We began selling direct to Canada in September 2018, Belgium and the Netherlands in January 2019, Italy in March 2020 and Germany, Switzerland and Austria in January 2021. Additionally, in March 2019, we established an operating company in the Netherlands in order to enhance our operations in Europe. On June 4, 2019, we purchased all the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Vilex in Tennessee, Inc. ("Vilex") and all the issued and outstanding units of membership interests in Orthex, LLC ("Orthex") for $60,000 in total consideration. Vilex and Orthex are primarily manufacturers of foot and ankle surgical implants, including cannulated screws, fusion devices, surgical staples and bone plates, as well as Orthex Hexapod technology which is used to treat pediatric congenital deformities and limb length discrepancies. On December 31, 2019, we divested substantially all of the assets relating to Vilex's adult product offerings to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Squadron Capital LLC ("Squadron") in exchange for a $25,000 reduction in a Term Note owed to Squadron in connection with the initial acquisition. As part of the sale, we also executed an exclusive license arrangement with Squadron providing for perpetual access to certain intellectual property and a mutual distribution agreement. On March 9, 2020, we purchased all the issued and outstanding membership interest of Telos Partners, LLC ("Telos") for $3,300 in total consideration. Telos is a boutique regulatory consulting firm formed in Colorado. On April 1, 2020, we purchased all the issued and outstanding membership interest of ApiFix, Ltd. ("ApiFix") for (a) $2,000 in cash, and (b) 934,783 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.00025 par value per share, representing approximately $35,000 (based on a closing share price of $37.63 on April 1, 2020. ApiFix, a corporation organized under the laws of Israel, has developed a minimally invasive deformity correction system for patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis ("ApiFix System"). In addition, we have also agreed to pay as part of the purchase price the following anniversary payments, subject to certain limitations and adjustments: (i) approximately $13,000 on the second anniversary of the closing date, provided that such payment will be paid earlier if 150 clinical procedures using the ApiFix System are completed in the United States before such anniversary date, (ii) $8,000 on the third anniversary of the closing date; and (iii) $9,000 on the fourth anniversary of the closing date. In addition, to the extent that the product of our revenues from the ApiFix System for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 multiplied by 2.25 exceeds the anniversary payments actually made for the third and fourth years, we have agreed to pay the selling shareholders a system sales payment in the amount of such excess. The anniversary payments and system sales payment may each be made in cash or cash and common stock (refer to Note 3). On June 10, 2020, we purchased certain intellectual property assets from Band-Lok, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company ("Band-Lok"), related to its Tether Clamp and Implantation System ("Tether Clamp System") for approximately $3,400 in total consideration. We use the Tether Clamp System in connection with our Bandloc 5.5/6.0 System. We were previously the sole licensee of the purchased assets under a license agreement with Band-Lok. Our largest investor is Squadron, a private investment firm based in Granby, Connecticut. The global COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19” or the “pandemic”), together with the preventative and precautionary measures taken by governments, governmental agencies, communities, businesses and hospital administrators, has impacted, and may continue to impact significant aspects of our business, including demand for our products, supply chain and distribution systems, our operations generally, and the timing for bringing new products to market. We also expect medical procedure rates to continue to vary by type and country, and could be impacted by regional COVID-19 case volumes, hospital and clinical occupancy and staffing levels, the willingness of patients to schedule elective procedures, travel and quarantine restrictions, vaccine immunization rates, and new COVID-19 variants. While we have seen the positive impact that higher vaccination rates have had on curbing the spread of the virus in the U.S. and certain other countries, the global COVID-19 outlook remains uncertain as vaccination rates have slowed and the spread of new variants has accelerated. While the impact of COVID-19 has had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, the nature and extent of such impact is unknown, as we cannot predict with confidence the ultimate duration or further severity of the pandemic.
