Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Wound Business

The Company assesses its businesses and products in order to calibrate its strategic focus, enhance liquidity, prioritize investments and allocate capital to its core business units. As a result of this assessment, the Company has committed to a plan to divest certain assets within its Wound Business, specifically those attributable to TheraSkin and Theragenesis (the “Wound Business” or the “Disposal Group”).

The Company has classified the identifiable net assets of the Disposal Group as held for sale. Assets and liabilities determined to be part of the Disposal Group have been recorded as single amounts within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, which is expected to occur within one year. The Company has ceased the depreciation and amortization attributable to assets classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities held for sale are reviewed each reporting period to determine whether existing carrying values are fully recoverable in comparison to estimated fair values less costs to sell.

The Company evaluated the Wound Business for impairment during the first quarter of 2023. The Company recorded a $78,615 ($63,337 after tax) impairment as a result of this evaluation to reduce the intangible assets of the Wound Business to reflect their respective fair values less any costs to sell. The fair value of intangibles of the Wound Business was determined based on the consideration offered for the Wound Business.

The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities of the Wound Business that were classified as held for sale were as follows:


	April 1, 2023
Carrying amounts of assets classified as held for sale
Accounts receivable, net of allowance of $898	$	4,114
Inventory	1,481
Property and equipment, net	443
Intangible assets	31,835
Total assets held for sale	$	37,873

Carrying amounts of liabilities classified as held for sale
Accounts payable	$	1,285
Accrued liabilities	588
Total liabilities held for sale	$	1,873

CartiHeal (2009) Ltd

On July 12, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the remaining shares in CartiHeal, a privately held company headquartered in Israel and the developer of the proprietary Agili-C implant for the treatment of joint surface lesions in traumatic and osteoarthritic joints. The Company previously held an equity interest in CartiHeal’s fully diluted shares with a carrying value of $15,768 and $16,771 as of July 12, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Net equity losses associated with CartiHeal for the three months ended April 2, 2022 totaled $401, which was included in discontinued operations, net on the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company acquired CartiHeal (the “CartiHeal Acquisition”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $315,000 and an additional $135,000, payable after closing upon the achievement of a certain sales milestone (“Sales Milestone”, or “CartiHeal Contingent Consideration”). The Company paid $100,000 of the aggregate purchase price upon closing consisting of a $50,000 deposit held in trust and $50,000 from a financing arrangement (Refer to Note 4. Financial instruments for further information regarding financing arrangements). The Company also paid approximately $8,622 of CartiHeal’s transaction-related fees and expenses and deferred $215,000 (“Deferred Amount”) of the aggregate purchase price otherwise due at closing.

The Deferred Amount was to be paid in five tranches commencing in 2023 and ending no later than 2027 as follows:

•$50,000 due upon the earliest to occur — the publication in a peer-reviewed orthopedic journal of an article that presents the results of the pivotal clinical trial (“First Paper Milestone”) or July 1, 2023;

•$50,000 due upon the earliest to occur — the implantation of Agili-C devices in 100 patients in the United States or September 1, 2023;

•$25,000 due upon the earliest to occur — the publication in a peer-reviewed orthopedic journal of an article that presents any new or additional clinical data subsequent to the First Paper Milestone with respect to Agili-C (“Second Paper Milestone”) or January 1, 2025;

•$25,000 due upon the earliest to occur — the publication in a peer-reviewed orthopedic journal of an article that presents any new or additional clinical data subsequent to the First and Second Paper Milestone with respect to Agili-C or January 1, 2026; and

•$65,000 due upon the earliest to occur — obtaining a U.S. Category 1 Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) code from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) for Agili-C or January 1, 2027.

Pursuant to the CartiHeal Amendment (as defined below), the Company owed interest on each tranche of the Deferred Amount at a rate of 8.0% annually, until such tranche is paid. The Sales Milestone was payable upon the achievement of $75,000 in trailing twelve month sales pursuant to the CartiHeal Amendment.

The Company had entered into an Option and Equity Purchase Agreement with CartiHeal (“Option Agreement”) in January 2020 and a subsequent amendment in June 2022 (“CartiHeal Amendment”). The Option Agreement provided the Company with an exclusive option to acquire 100% of CartiHeal’s shares (“Call Option”), and provided CartiHeal with a put option that would require the Company to purchase 100% of CartiHeal’s shares under certain conditions. In August 2021, CartiHeal achieved pivotal clinical trial success, as defined in the Option Agreement, for the Agili-C implant. In order to preserve the Company’s Call Option, in accordance with the Option Agreement and upon approval of the Company’s Board of Directors (“BOD”), the Company deposited $50,000 into escrow in August 2021.

The First Paper Milestone under the Option Agreement occurred on February 13, 2023, which obligated the Company to make the first $50,000 payment, plus applicable interest, under the Option Agreement. On February 27, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Elron Ventures Ltd. (“Elron” and together with the Company, the “Parties”) as representative of CartiHeal’s selling securityholders under the Option Agreement collectively, the “Former Securityholders”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Elron, on behalf of the Former Securityholders, agreed to forbear from initiating any legal action or proceedings relating to non-payment of any obligations arising under the Option Agreement during a period of 30 calendar days (the “Interim Period”) in exchange for (i) a one-time non-refundable amount of $10,000 and (ii) a one-time non-refundable payment of $150 to Elron to be used in accordance with the expense fund provisions of the Option Agreement. The Interim Period expired on March 29, 2023 and the Company did not exercise its right to extend the Interim Period. In addition, the Parties mutually released any further claims under the Option Agreement and related transaction documents, including without limitation a release by the Former Securityholders of any rights to enforce the provisions of the Option Agreement or make further monetary claims against the Company and/or its respective affiliates and representatives.

The Company transferred 100% of its shares in CartiHeal to a trustee (the “Trustee”) for the benefit of the Former Securityholders pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. The Company had no ownership interest and no voting rights during the Interim Period. Accordingly, the Company concluded that upon execution of the Settlement Agreement, the Company ceased to control CartiHeal for accounting purposes, and therefore, deconsolidated CartiHeal effective February 27, 2023. CartiHeal was part of the Company’s international reporting segment. The Company treated the deconsolidation of CartiHeal as a discontinued operation. The loss upon disposal was $60,639 and was recorded within discontinued operations, net within the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The loss on disposal is comprised of the book value of CartiHeal’s net assets at the time of disposal, goodwill attributable to CartiHeal and the previously discussed non-refundable payments made to Elron. The Company allowed the Interim Period to expire on March 29, 2023 as the Company was not able to find a financing solution to fund the payment obligations under the Option and Equity Purchase Agreement on terms the Company believed to be favorable to it and its shareholders.

The fair value of consideration for the CartiHeal Acquisition was comprised of the following:


Cash consideration	$	100,000
Transaction related costs	8,622
Subtotal of cash at closing	108,622
Deferred Amount	183,400
Sales Milestone	61,901
Fair value of previously held equity interest(a)	39,477
Total consideration	$	393,400

(a) Remeasurement of the Company’s equity method investment in CartiHeal, net of equity losses as a result of the purchase. The remeasurement included a gain of $23,709 calculated as the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the Company’s investment in CartiHeal at the acquisition date and was recognized in other income during the third quarter of 2022 on the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value was based upon: (i) the consideration transferred to members owning 89.97% of CartiHeal’s fully diluted shares; (ii) calculating the value of CartiHeal’s fully diluted shares based upon the transferred consideration; and (iii) applying the calculated value to the Company’s 10.03% ownership in CartiHeal’s fully diluted shares at the acquisition date.

The Company accounted for the CartiHeal Acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the total purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective fair values. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:


Fair value of consideration	$	393,400
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	3,781
Inventory	642
Prepaid and other current assets	552
Property and equipment	259
Intangibles	410,200
Investment and other assets	727
Accounts payable	(18)
Accrued liabilities	(459)
Other current liabilities	(171)
Deferred income taxes	(79,863)
Other liabilities	(2,544)
Net assets acquired	333,106
Resulting goodwill	$	60,294

Nearly 100% of the goodwill represents estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized and is attributable to expected revenue growth in new markets. The goodwill was not deductible for tax purposes and $55,295 and $4,999 was allocated to the U.S. and International reporting units, respectively.

CartiHeal’s intangibles consisted of the following:


	Useful Life	Fair Value
Intellectual Property - US Segment	20 years	$	351,500
Intellectual Property - International Segment	8 years	58,700
		$	410,200

The estimated fair value of the acquired CartiHeal intangibles was determined using an income approach, a valuation technique that estimates the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows that an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. The determination of the useful lives was based upon consideration of market participant assumptions and transaction specific factors.
