Note 1. The Company

electroCore, Inc. (“electroCore” or the “Company”) is a medical device company, engaged in the commercialization and development of a platform non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation (“nVNS”) therapy that can be self-administered by patients. electroCore was founded in 2005 and has primarily focused on headache conditions (migraine and cluster headache). 

electroCore, headquartered in New Jersey, has two wholly owned subsidiaries: electroCore Germany GmbH, and electroCore UK Ltd. The Company has ceased its operations in Germany, although sales to Germany are still supported by electroCore UK Ltd. In addition, an affiliate, electroCore (Aust) Pty Limited (“electroCore Australia”), is subject to electroCore’s control on a basis other than voting interests and is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), for which electroCore is the primary beneficiary. As of May 2017, the VIE ceased operations.
