Litigation Settlement

In April 2022, the Company and HRGN entered into a settlement of a litigation related to injuries allegedly caused by products produced by the Company and HRGN and utilized in connection with surgeries performed by third parties (the “HRGN Settlement”). The HRGN Settlement resolved and dismissed all claims by and between the parties. HRGN has indemnified the Company for all losses and expenses that the Company incurred in connection with such litigation and settlement.

In connection with the HRGN Settlement, in June 2022, HRGN issued 4,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) to the Company in satisfaction of $4.0 million of its total indemnification obligations. The Company recorded the Series E Preferred Stock at an estimated fair value of $3.9 million using a Monte Carlo valuation simulation incorporating information from selected guideline companies. As of December 31, 2022, the book value of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock, inclusive of accrued dividends, was $4.1 million and was included in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of other long-term assets.

In April 2023, all of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock the Company held in HRGN were mandatorily converted into shares of HRGN common stock.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company held shares of HRGN common stock with an estimated fair value of $3.5 million, which are included in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of other long-term assets. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized loss related to these shares of $(0.6) million, which was recorded as other (expense) income, net, in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company determines the fair value of its HRGN common stock based on the closing price as quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace at the reporting date. Due to HRGN’s limited operating history, its overall financial condition and the limited trading volumes and liquidity of its common stock, the value of the Company’s investment in this common stock could fluctuate considerably or become worthless.
