Liquidity and Capital Resources

From its founding in 1996 until 2010, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to researching various sensor technologies and platforms. Beginning in 2010, the Company narrowed its focus to developing and refining a commercially viable glucose monitoring system. Since our inception, we have incurred significant net losses and expect to incur additional losses in the near future. We incurred total net (loss) income of ($60.4) million and $142.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the nine months ending September 30, 2024, the Company had gross loss of ($3.4) million and an accumulated deficit of $932.4 million. To date, the Company has funded its operations principally through the issuance of preferred stock, common stock, warrants, convertible notes and debt. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $74.5 million.

The Company’s ability to grow revenues and achieve profitability depends on the successful commercialization and adoption of our implantable CGM (“Eversense”), including Eversense E3 CGM and Eversense 365 system, by diabetes patients and healthcare providers, along with future product development, regulatory approvals, and post-approval requirements. These activities and continued development of the Gemini product, Freedom product and other future products, will require significant uses of working capital through 2024 and beyond.

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification, 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, management is required to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months after issuance of the financial statements. Based on the Company’s current operating plan, existing unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, anticipated debt repayments, and minimum cash and satisfaction of performance milestones to comply with debt covenants under its Loan and Security Agreement as discussed in Note 12, the Company has determined that substantial doubt exists regarding its ability to continue as a going concern for the one-year period following the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. To sustain its future operations beyond such one-year period, the Company will require additional funding. As part of our liquidity strategy, we will continue to monitor our capital structure and market conditions, and we may finance our cash needs through public or private debt and equity financings and other sources which may include collaborations, strategic alliances, and licensing arrangements with third parties. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on acceptable terms, if at all, and could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of its research, clinical trials, product development or future commercialization efforts, which could materially adversely affect its business prospects or its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and that contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

On September 8, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with the several institutions or entities party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders") and Hercules Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Hercules”) in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and the Lenders, pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Company up to $50.0 million in senior secured term loans (the “Term Loan Facility”), consisting of (i) an initial term loan of $25.0 million (the “Tranche 1 Loan”), which was funded on the Effective Date and (ii) two additional tranches of term loans in the amounts of up to $10.0 million (the “Tranche 2 Loan”) and $15.0 million (the “Tranche 3 Loan”), respectively, which will become available to the Company upon the Company’s satisfaction of certain terms and conditions set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. In December 2023, we met the terms and conditions to draw on the Tranche 2 Loan and the loan was funded on January 2, 2024 in an amount of $10.0 million. The loans under the Loan and Security Agreement mature on September 1, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”).

On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with a limited number of holders (the “Noteholders”) of the Company’s currently outstanding 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the Noteholders agreed to exchange with the Company (the “Exchanges”) up to $30.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes (the “Exchanged Notes”) for a combination of $7.5 million of cash and newly issued shares of common stock (the “Exchange Shares”). The number of Exchange Shares was determined based upon the volume-weighted average price per share of the common stock during a 15-day averaging period commencing on August 11, 2023 and ending August 31, 2023. Based on the volume-weighted average price per share of the common stock during the averaging period, a total of 35.1 million shares of common stock were issued in the Exchanges. The Exchanges were settled on the initial share issuance date of August 14, 2023 and the final settlement date of September 5, 2023.

In August 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“GS”), under which the Company could offer and sell, from time to time, at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $106.6 million through GS as its sales agent in an “at the market” offering, which represented the remaining capacity under our then-existing at the market program with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), as described below. GS will receive a commission up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any common stock sold through GS under the Equity Distribution Agreement. The shares will be offered and sold pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2023. On October 24, 2024, the Company amended the Equity Distribution Agreement with GS to reduce the maximum amount of shares issuable thereunder to $55.0 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company received approximately $4.2 million in net proceeds from the sale of 10,766,983 shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

In November 2021, we entered into the 2021 Sales Agreement with Jefferies, under which we could offer and sell, from time to time, at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million through Jefferies as our sales agent in an “at the market” offering. Jefferies received commissions up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any common stock sold through Jefferies under the 2021 Sales Agreement. During 2023, the Company received $7.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of 9,944,663 shares of its common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement. Effective August 7, 2023, the Company and Jefferies mutually agreed to terminate the 2021 Sales Agreement. At the time of termination, approximately $106.6 million remained available for issuance pursuant to the 2021 Sales Agreement.

On August 9, 2020, the Company entered into a financing agreement with the parent company of Ascensia Diabetes Care Holdings AG (“Ascensia”), PHC Holdings Corporation (“PHC”), pursuant to which the Company issued $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Convertible Notes due on October 31, 2024 (the “PHC Notes”), to PHC. The Company also issued 2,941,176 shares of common stock to PHC as a financing fee. The Company also had the option to sell and issue PHC up to $15.0 million of convertible preferred stock on or before December 31, 2022, contingent upon obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for the 180-day Eversense product for marketing in the United States before such date. The Company successfully obtained FDA approval in February 2022 and the option was not exercised. As described in Note 12, on March 13, 2023, the Company entered into

an Exchange Agreement (the “PHC Exchange Agreement”) with PHC, pursuant to which PHC agreed to exchange (the “PHC Exchange”) its $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of the PHC Notes, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for a warrant (the “PHC Exchange Warrant”) to purchase up to 68,525,311 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “PHC Exchange Warrant Shares”). The PHC Exchange Warrant is a “pre-funded” warrant with a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per PHC Exchange Warrant Share. On March 31, 2023, (6:00 am Japan Standard Time on April 1, 2023) the PHC Exchange was consummated, and the Company issued the PHC Exchange Warrant in consideration for the cancellation of the PHC Notes.

On March 13, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with PHC, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to PHC in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) a warrant (the “Purchase Warrant”) to purchase 15,425,750 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Purchase Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of the Purchase Warrant was approximately $0.97 per Purchase Warrant Share, representing the undiscounted, trailing 10-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock through March 10, 2023. The Purchase Warrant is a “pre-funded” warrant with a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per Purchase Warrant Share. The issuance of the Purchase Warrants enabled PHC to maintain, as of the closing of the transaction, a 15% beneficial ownership for purposes of the Investor Rights Agreement, dated August 9, 2020, between the Company and PHC. The Private Placement closed on March 13, 2023 (the “Private Placement Closing Date”) and the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $15.0 million, before deducting private placement expenses payable by the Company.
