| ● | our ability to defend against the various lawsuits related to FiberCel and VBM, and any other ongoing or future litigation, and avoid a material adverse financial consequence; |

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Elutia Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiary, "Elutia” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage company developing proprietary drug-eluting biomatrix products for use in surgical reconstruction and related applications. These products are designed to improve the interaction between implanted medical devices and patients. The Company’s focus is on addressing unmet medical needs and reducing complications associated with surgery, including infection, migration, erosion, implant rejection, and fibrosis. Elutia’s portfolio of products spans the Women’s Health and Cardiovascular markets. These products are sold to healthcare providers.
On August 6, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying us that, for the last consecutive business days, the closing bid price for our Class A common stock, par value $
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Liquidity
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K (“2025 Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The financial information as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is unaudited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for these interim periods have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or any future year or period.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
On September 8, 2025, Elutia executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “CIED APA”) with Boston Scientific Corporation (“BSC”), a Delaware corporation, and Cardiac Pacemakers Inc. (“CPI”), a Minnesota corporation (collectively with BSC, the “CIED Buyers”). On October 1, 2025, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the CIED APA, the CIED Buyers purchased from the Company substantially all of the assets that are related to the Company’s business of researching, developing, administering, operating, commercializing, manufacturing, selling and marketing its cardiac implantable electronic device (“CIED”) products, including its CanGaroo®, CanGaroo® RM, EluPro™ and CIED envelope products, including next generation CIED envelope products (collectively the “CIED Business”). The assets of the CIED Business constituted substantially all of the assets previously held in Elutia’s Device Protection segment. The CIED Buyers only assumed certain liabilities related to performance of the contracts transferred in the CIED APA. The CIED APA provided for an aggregate purchase price, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the terms of the CIED APA, of up to $
9
paid in cash to Elutia at the closing of the transactions or shortly thereafter, and $
The sale of the CIED Business represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Consequently, the Company met the held-for-sale criteria of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Discontinued Operations. Accordingly, this transaction is accounted for as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. See Note 4 for further discussion of the divestiture of the CIED Business.
On November 8, 2023, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets relating to its Orthobiologics segment (the “Orthobiologics Business”) to Berkeley Biologics, LLC (“Berkeley”). The Orthobiologics Business was comprised of assets relating to researching, developing, administering, insuring, operating, commercializing, manufacturing, selling and marketing the Company’s Orthobiologics products, and the business of contract manufacturing of particulate bone, precision milled bone, cellular bone matrix, acellular dermis, soft tissue and other products. The assets sold represent the entirety of the Company’s Orthobiologics segment. In the sale, the Company received approximately $
Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through amounts borrowed under its credit facilities, proceeds from its initial public offering (“IPO”), sales of its products and more recently, the sale of its Orthobiologics and CIED Businesses and proceeds from follow-on offerings and private placements of its common stock and warrants to purchase its common stock. The Company’s historical cash outflows have primarily been associated with manufacturing and administrative costs, sales and marketing, research and development, clinical activity, purchase of property and equipment used in its production activities, litigation defense and settlement costs and investing in its commercial infrastructure. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $

13. However, such transactions may not be successful, and we may not be able to raise additional equity, refinance our debt instruments, sell assets or obtain waivers or amendments to our obligations on acceptable terms, or at all.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and proceeds received under its term loan facility described in Note 13 will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least one year after the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding when needed and/or on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue its research and development programs, the manufacture of clinical and commercial supplies, product portfolio expansion, commercialization efforts and/or commercial operations, which could adversely affect its business prospects, or the Company may be unable to continue operations.
Reclassifications
The Company has determined that its operating and reportable segments are consistent with its major product groupings which in prior periods included Device Protection, Women’s Health and Cardiovascular. Segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, have been recast to conform to the new segment presentation, which now excludes Device Protection due to its divestiture noted above. Refer to the Segment Information in Note 12. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions relating to inventories, receivables, long-lived assets, the valuation of stock-based awards, the valuation of the revenue interest obligation, the valuation of the warrant liability, the contingent liabilities for legal proceedings and deferred income taxes are made at the end of each financial reporting period by management. Management continually re-evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, and management's evaluation could change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Our common stock has a dual class structure, consisting of Class A common stock, $
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss available to each class of shares by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and participating securities outstanding during the period. Participating securities include common and prefunded warrants. For purposes of the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation, stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents. In applying the two-class method, the Company has elected an accounting policy to determine whether undistributed earnings are allocated to participating securities by analogy to the ‘control number’ concept in ASC 260. Accordingly, the Company evaluates income (loss) from continuing operations to determine whether participating securities are allocated earnings. Participating securities are not allocated losses as they are not contractually obligated to share in losses. This policy is applied consistently from period to period. See Note 11 for further discussion of net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
The estimated fair value of financial instruments disclosed in the financial statements has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying value of all current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances at banks and financial institutions. The balances are insured up to the legal limit. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances that may, at times, exceed this insured limit. The Company considers cash on hand, demand deposits in a bank, money market funds, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets are presented net of allowances for credit losses. The Company grants credit to customers in the normal course of business, but generally does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables.
The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where a specific customer is unable to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a provision to the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount that is reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, a provision to the allowance for credit losses is recorded based on factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and the Company’s historical experience. Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded to general and administrative expenses. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered.
Inventory
Inventory, consisting of primarily purchased materials, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined generally using the average cost method. At each balance sheet date, the Company also evaluates inventory for excess quantities, obsolescence or shelf-life expiration. This evaluation includes an analysis of the Company’s current and future strategic plans, historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products, general market conditions and a review of the shelf-life expiration dates for products. To the extent that management determines there is excess or obsolete inventory or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for the Company to reasonably expect that it can sell those products prior to their expiration, the Company adjusts the carrying value to the estimated net realizable value.
12
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
Processing and research equipment | | |
Office equipment and furniture |
| |
Computer hardware and software |
|
Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No 2016-02, Leases to increase the transparency and comparability about leases among entities. ASU 2016-02 and certain additional ASUs are now codified as ASC 842, Leases. ASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting guidance in ASC 840 and requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from that lease. For leases with a term of greater than 12 months, ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. In the case that the implicit rate is not available, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date, including publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics, to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company combines lease and non-lease elements for office leases.
Long-Lived Assets
Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are carried at acquired fair value, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
The Company periodically evaluates the period of depreciation or amortization for long-lived assets to determine whether current circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company reviews its property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the company’s asset exceeds the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If impairment exists, the carrying value of that asset is adjusted to its fair value. A discounted cash flow analysis is used to estimate an asset’s fair value, using assumptions that market participants would apply. The results of impairment tests are subject to management’s estimates and assumptions of projected cash flows and operating results. Changes in assumptions or market conditions could result in a change in estimated future cash flows and could result in a lower fair value and therefore an impairment, which could impact reported results. There were
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for its warrants in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity, as either liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. The warrants issued in connection with the September 2023 private placement, June 2024 registered direct offering and 2025 registered direct offering (see Note 9) are classified as liabilities and are recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each settlement date and at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized in Loss (gain) on revaluation of warrant liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
13
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC 606. The core principle of ASC 606 is that the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASC 606 revenue recognition model consists of the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
As noted above, the Company enters into contracts to primarily sell and distribute products to healthcare providers. Revenue is recognized when the Company has met its performance obligations pursuant to its contracts with its customers in an amount that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of control of the products to the Company’s customers. For all product sales, the Company has no further performance obligations and revenue is recognized at the point control transfers which occurs either when: i) the product is shipped via common carrier; or ii) the product is delivered to the customer or distributor, in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
A portion of the Company’s product revenue is generated from consigned inventory maintained at hospitals and from inventory physically held by distributors and direct sales agents. For these types of product sales, the Company retains control until the product has been used or implanted, at which time revenue is recognized.
The Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a separate performance obligation. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included as part of the transaction price and recognized as revenue when control of the underlying products is transferred to the customer. The related shipping and freight charges incurred by the Company are included in sales and marketing costs.
Contracts with customers state the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each implant distributed. The payment terms and conditions in the Company’s contracts vary; however, as a common business practice, payment terms are typically due in full within to of delivery. The Company, at times, extends volume discounts to customers.
The Company permits returns of its products in accordance with the terms of contractual agreements with customers. Allowances for returns are provided based upon analysis of the Company’s historical patterns of returns matched against the revenues from which they originated. The Company records estimated returns as a reduction of revenue in the same period revenue is recognized.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Accounting for Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock units. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs, which include mainly salaries, outside services and supplies, are expensed as incurred.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company’s cash balances with individual institutions may at times exceed the federally insured limits.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) comprises net income (loss) and other changes in equity that are excluded from net income (loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s net loss equaled its comprehensive loss and accordingly, no additional disclosure is presented.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years for differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the federal and state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not (greater than 50%) of being realized upon settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40). This update assesses the disaggregation of income statement expense which requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2024-03.
Note 4. Divestiture of CIED Business
As described in Note 2, on October 1, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its CIED Business. Accordingly, the CIED Business is reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20 - Discontinued Operations and the amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 have been recast to conform to this discontinued operations presentation.
In accordance with ASC 205-20, only expenses specifically identifiable and related to a business to be disposed are presented in discontinued operations. Additionally, since the repayment of the Company’s SWK Loan Facility (see Note 7) was deemed to be contractually required as part of the CIED Business sale, interest expense on the repaid SWK Loan Facility is also classified within discontinued operations. The following table shows the financial results of the discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025:

Warrant Liabilities
The Company has concluded that the 2025 Prefunded Warrants from the 2025 Registered Offering, the 2024 Prefunded Warrants from the 2024 Registered Offering and the Common Warrants and the 2023 Prefunded Warrants from the Private Offering do not meet the equity contract scope exception under ASC 815-40 as in the event of a (i) fundamental transaction such as a merger and (ii) failure to timely deliver warrant shares upon exercise, certain provisions of which may require the Company to adjust the settlement value in a manner that is not consistent with a fixed-for-fixed option pricing model. As a result, the Company allocated a portion of the gross proceeds from the respective offerings to the related warrants based on their fair values and have recorded such amounts as a Warrant liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company allocated a portion of the transaction fees from the 2024 Registered Offering, 2025 Registered Offering and the Private Offering to the respective warrants and recognized the expense within Other expense (income), net. Such expenses totaled $
As noted above, the last exercise date for the Common Warrants was July 31, 2024. All Common Warrants outstanding were exercised by such date. Certain of these exercises ultimately resulted in their conversion to 2023 Prefunded Warrants. The liability associated with the 2025 Prefunded Warrants, 2024 Prefunded Warrants and 2023 Prefunded Warrants is recorded as Warrant liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
A summary of the warrant activity for the six months ended June 30, 2026 is as follows:

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Cook Biotech License and Supply Agreements
In 2017, Elutia entered into a license agreement, as amended, with Cook Biotech (“Cook”), now owned by Evergen, for an exclusive, worldwide license to the porcine tissue for use in the Company’s Cardiovascular, CanGaroo and EluPro products, subject to certain co-exclusive rights retained by Cook. Along with this license agreement, Elutia entered into a supply agreement whereby Cook would be the exclusive supplier to Elutia of licensed porcine tissue. On October 1, 2025, in connection with the sale of the CIED Business described in Note 2, the Company entered into amendments to both the license (the “Amended License Agreement”) and supply agreements such that the Amended License Agreement removed all products divested with the sale of the CIED Business and includes only the Company’s remaining Cardiovascular products. Both agreements expire on December 31, 2028. Under certain limited circumstances, Elutia has the right to manufacture the licensed product and pay Cook a royalty of
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be involved in claims and proceedings arising in the course of the Company’s business. The outcome of any such claims or proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. The Company records accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Where the available information is only sufficient to establish a range of probable liability, and no point within the range is more likely than any other, the lower end of the range has been used. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible, but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature of the matter and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, to the extent such estimate can be made. Accruals recorded are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available, and management's judgments may be materially different than the actual outcomes.

In particular, the Company alleged that Medtronic did not honor its contractual obligations to defend and indemnify it from lawsuits against the Company arising from the use of FiberCel products distributed by Medtronic, and that Medtronic concealed and misrepresented an insurance policy potentially applicable to those lawsuits. Medtronic denied Elutia’s claims and counterclaimed that Elutia breached representations and warranties under the Supply Agreement and owed ongoing indemnity obligations to Medtronic.

On October 21, 2025, Tiger Aesthetics Medical, LLC (“Tiger”) filed an action against Elutia in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware. Tiger originally alleged breach of contract and related claims related to the 2023 distribution agreement between the Company and Tiger as well as the August 2025 letter of intent for the possible sale by the Company to Tiger of certain assets and rights. In March 2026, the Court granted Elutia’s motion to dismiss the Complaint in part, and Tiger subsequently limited its claims to the letter of intent.
On June 24, 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Tiger. On July 4, 2026, all claims filed by Tiger were dismissed with prejudice, with neither party paying any material amounts in settlement.

Contingent Liability for Legal Proceedings
FiberCel Litigation
Since August 2022, the Company has engaged in a process to negotiate and attempt to resolve many of the cases in the FiberCel Litigation. In total, through June 30, 2026, settlement agreements have been reached in
In order to reasonably estimate the liability for the unsettled FiberCel Litigation cases, the Company, along with outside legal counsel, has assessed a variety of factors, including (i) the extent of the injuries incurred, (ii) recent experience on the settled claims, (iii) settlement offers made to the other parties to the litigation and (iv) any other factors that may have a material effect on the FiberCel Litigation. While the Company believes its estimated liability to be reasonable, the actual loss amounts are highly variable and are dependent upon the relevant facts and case-by-case resolutions. As more information is learned about asserted claims and potential future trends, adjustments may be made to this Contingent Liability for Legal Proceedings as appropriate. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the Company could incur liabilities in excess of amounts accrued and the ultimate liability could be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the period recognized. The Company, however, is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in excess of the amount recognized at this time.
VBM Litigation
Since June 2023, the Company has also engaged in a process to negotiate and attempt to resolve many of the cases in the VBM Litigation. In total, through June 30, 2026, settlement agreements have been reached in
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has a total liability for VBM Litigation of $
In order to reasonably estimate the liability for the unsettled VBM Litigation cases and unasserted claims, the Company, along with outside legal counsel, has assessed a variety of factors, including (i) the extent of the injuries incurred, (ii) recent experience on the settled claims, (iii) settlement offers made to the other parties to the litigation and (iv) any other factors that may have a material effect on the VBM Litigation. While the Company believes its estimated liability to be reasonable, the actual loss amounts are highly variable and are dependent upon the relevant facts and case-by-case resolutions. As more information is learned about asserted and unasserted claims and potential future trends, adjustments may be made to this Contingent Liability for Legal Proceedings as appropriate. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the Company could incur liabilities in excess of amounts accrued and the ultimate liability could be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the period recognized. The Company, however, is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in excess of the amount recognized at this time.
Defense costs for both the FiberCel Litigation and VBM Litigation are recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as incurred, with the entirety of such expense related to the VBM Litigation offset by insurance recoveries received or receivable as further described below.
Insurance Receivables of Litigation Costs
24
The Company has purchased insurance coverage that, subject to common contract exclusions, provided coverage for the FiberCel Litigation and VBM Litigation product liability losses as well as legal defense costs. When settlements are reached and/or amounts are recorded in the related Contingent Liability for Legal Proceedings, the Company calculates amounts due to be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the coverage and related agreements, and pursuant to other indemnity or contribution claims, in respect of product liability losses and related defense costs. The probable amounts of reimbursement or recovery from this calculation are recorded as receivables. The determination that the recorded receivables are probable of collection is based on the terms of agreements reached in respect of indemnity and contribution claims as well as the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel. These receivables as of June 30, 2026 totaled $
As of June 30, 2026, all amounts recorded as Insurance Receivables of Litigation Costs relate to the VBM Litigation, and additional insurance remains available to cover the future cost of the VBM Litigation and related defense costs. Conversely, the Company has no more insurance to cover the cost of the FiberCel Litigation and the related defense costs.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company was not a party to, or aware of, any legal matters or claims with material financial exposure, except for the FiberCel Litigation, VBM Litigation, the matters involving Medtronic and Tiger, both of which were subsequently dismissed, and the matter involving a former supplier.
Note 11. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for gains on the revaluation of warrant liability (see Note 9), by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of the Company’s prefunded warrants (see Note 9), outstanding stock options, outstanding RSUs, and shares issuable under the ESPP. The treasury stock method was used to calculate the potential dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto, and the discussion under Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2025 Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates, plans and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that involve risks and may affect our future operating results and financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report and in the section entitled “Risk Factor Summary” and in Part I, Item IA. “Risk Factors” of our 2025 Annual Report.
Overview
At Elutia, our mission is to humanize medicine so that patients can thrive without compromise. We develop proprietary drug-eluting biomatrix products for use in surgical reconstruction and related applications. These products are designed to improve the interaction between implanted medical devices and patients. Our focus is on addressing unmet medical needs and reducing complications associated with surgery, including infection, migration, erosion, implant rejection, and fibrosis. Our operations span research and development through the commercial distribution of biologic matrix products used in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
We have applied these capabilities to develop and commercialize products for specific surgical applications. As more fully described below, on October 1, 2025, we divested one such product family through the sale of substantially all of the assets related to our business of developing, commercializing, manufacturing, selling and marketing our cardiac implantable electronic device (“CIED”) products, EluPro™ and CanGaroo®, to Boston Scientific Corporation (“BSC”) and Cardiac Pacemakers Inc (“CPI”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $88.0 million in cash. EluPro was the first antibiotic-eluting biologic matrix envelope for use with CIEDs. This transaction reflects the technical and commercial value of solutions developed using our biologic matrices and local drug delivery capabilities.
Following the sale of the CIED business, we are focused on advancing our drug-eluting biomatrix (“DEB”) platform. This platform builds on our biologic matrix and local drug delivery capabilities to address complications that lead to poor outcomes in reconstructive procedures and surgical repair. EluPro demonstrated the commercial potential of combining a biologic scaffold with antibiotic drug delivery to reduce device-related complications. We believe the same foundational technology can be applied to reconstructive and soft tissue repair markets where biologic matrix products are widely used, but where outcomes remain suboptimal due to complications such as infection, inflammation, and fibrosis.
The clinical and economic need in the reconstructive and soft tissue repair markets is substantial, reflecting both the volume of reconstructive surgery and the persistence of high complication rates. For example, in implant-based breast reconstruction and complex abdominal wall repair, infection rates approximate 15% to 20%, leading to frequent reoperations and hospital readmissions. Each year, in the United States, there are approximately 168,000 post-mastectomy breast reconstruction procedures, and roughly one in three experiences a serious complication such as infection, capsular contracture, or implant loss. We believe biologic matrices represent an estimated $1.5 billion U.S. market opportunity and account for more than 60% of reconstruction spending, yet meaningful innovation has been limited and significant unmet medical need remains.
Our lead development programs comprise NXT-41, a next-generation biologic matrix, and NXT-41x, which builds on the NXT-41 matrix by incorporating local antibiotic delivery. NXT-41 is an advanced biomatrix designed to provide consistent handling and incorporation while enabling scalable manufacturing. In NXT-41x, antibiotics are incorporated into the matrix and released locally over extended periods, offering broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection against common causes of post-surgical infection.
Elutia continues to market and sell its proprietary biologic matrix products, including its cardiovascular repair portfolio, comprising ProxiCor, VasCure, and Tyke, and SimpliDerm®, a human acellular dermal matrix (“hADM”) used
30
in soft tissue reconstruction. The cardiovascular products reside in our Cardiovascular segment and SimpliDerm is the primary commercial product in our Women’s Health segment. These products are sold directly to healthcare facilities through independent sales agents. See “Agreement to Divest SimpliDerm Business” below for a discussion regarding the pending disposition of our SimpliDerm Business.
SimpliDerm was historically processed at our former Richmond, California facility, which was included in the divestiture of the Orthobiologics Business in 2023. SimpliDerm is now supplied to Elutia through a long-term supply agreement with Berkeley, the acquiror of our Orthobiologics Business. The porcine SIS-ECM for our Cardiovascular products is supplied by Cook Biotech Incorporated (“Cook”), now owned by Evergen, through a long-term supply agreement. Both Berkeley and Cook are currently our sole sources of supply within the respective product offerings, and we cannot guarantee that an interruption in supply will not occur.
In March 2025, we signed a lease for 26,598 square feet of production, laboratory and administrative space in Gaithersburg, Maryland, which now serves as our headquarters and primary operations site. This facility supports administrative functions as well as the development of NXT-41 and NXT-41x and, subject to obtaining the necessary FDA marketing authorizations, is expected to support the commercial production of NXT-41x, to the extent marketing authorization is obtained.
Agreement to Divest SimpliDerm Business
On July 16, 2026, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “SimpliDerm APA”) with Cellution Biologics Inc. (“Cellution”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the SimpliDerm APA, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the SimpliDerm APA, Cellution will purchase from us substantially all of the assets related to our business of commercializing, manufacturing, distributing, selling and/or marketing human acellular dermis (hADM) products for use in the field of breast reconstruction under the SimpliDerm brand (the “SimpliDerm Business”). The assets of the SimpliDerm Business constitute substantially all of the assets currently held in our Women’s Health segment. Cellution is only assuming certain liabilities related to performance of the contracts transferred in the SimpliDerm APA. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing, we expect the closing of the transaction to occur in the third quarter of 2026. Following the sale of the SimpliDerm Business, we intend to remain focused on advancing our DEB platform.
The SimpliDerm APA provides for aggregate consideration payable to us of up to $11 million, consisting of: (i) a base purchase price of $8 million in cash, payable at closing of the transaction, subject to adjustment for any inventory shortfall; (ii) a contingent payment of up to $2 million, payable upon completion of certain technology transfer and manufacturing transition milestones within an 18-month period following the closing of the transaction, subject to reduction for sales shortfalls against monthly SimpliDerm sales targets during such transition period; and (iii) contingent payments of up to $1 million, in the aggregate, in the form of earn-out payments, payable for any four of the first five quarters following the closing of the transaction in which SimpliDerm sales exceed a specified quarterly revenue target.
New Loan Agreement
On August 11, 2026 (the “Loan Agreement Closing Date”), the Company entered into a loan and security agreement, and supplement to loan and security agreement (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”), with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders (in such capacities, the “Loan Agent”) and as lender (“Avenue 2”), and Avenue Growth Lending Fund III, L.P., as a lender (“Avenue 3”; together with Avenue 2, the “Lenders”), which provides for a senior secured term loan facility of up to $15 million in the aggregate that matures on March 1, 2030, consisting of (i) an initial term loan of $10 million (the “First Tranche Term Loan”), which was fully funded on the Loan Agreement Closing Date, and (ii) a $5 million delayed draw term loan (the “Second Tranche Term Loan”), which will be made available between May 1, 2027 and September 30, 2027, subject to the satisfaction of certain regulatory approvals and liquidity conditions (the “Second Tranche Term Loan”, which together with the First Tranche Term Loan, the “Term Loans”). See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the new Loan Agreement and the 2026 Warrants issued to the lenders in connection with the new Loan Agreement.

Discontinued Operations - Sale of CIED Businesses
On September 8, 2025, we executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “CIED APA”) with Boston Scientific Corporation (“BSC”) and Cardiac Pacemakers Inc. (collectively with BSC, the “CIED Buyers”). On October 1, 2025, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the CIED APA, the CIED Buyers purchased from Elutia substantially all of the assets related to its business of researching, developing, administering, operating, commercializing, manufacturing, selling and marketing CIED products, including the CanGaroo®, CanGaroo® RM, EluPro™ and CIED envelope products, including next generation CIED envelope products (collectively the “CIED Business”).
The CIED APA provided for an aggregate purchase price, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the terms of the CIED APA, of up to $88 million in cash, with $80.4 million (which included an inventory adjustment of $0.4 million) that was paid in cash to Elutia at the closing of the transactions, and $8.0 million that was deposited at the closing of the transactions in escrow for a period of twelve months, which is subject to potential reduction in the event of certain post-closing breaches of representations and warranties within the CIED APA by Elutia. The assets of the CIED Business constituted substantially all of the assets previously held in Elutia’s Device Protection segment. The CIED Buyers only assumed certain liabilities related to performance of the contracts transferred in the CIED APA.
As described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the sale of the CIED Business was accounted for as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Discontinued Operations. Consequently, the results of operations from the CIED Business are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Prior to the divestiture, we marketed EluPro and CanGaroo in the United States through our direct sales force, supported by a commercial partner, BSC. As part of the divestiture, the sales organization supporting the CIED business transferred to the CIED Buyers.
Payoff and Termination of SWK Loan Facility
On October 1, 2025, in connection with and through the proceeds of the sale of the Company’s CIED Business described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, we fully repaid the SWK Loan Facility as required by the terms of the credit agreement. As of such date, the outstanding principal, including the accrued exit fee, and accrued interest totaled approximately $26.9 million. The total payment by the Company to SWK in full satisfaction of the debt and termination of the credit agreement was $27.8 million.
Discontinued Operations - Sale of Orthobiologics Businesses
On November 8, 2023, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets relating to our former Orthobiologics Business to Berkeley. The Orthobiologics Business was comprised of assets relating to researching, developing, administering, insuring, operating, commercializing, manufacturing, selling and marketing our Orthobiologics products, and the business of contract manufacturing of particulate bone, precision milled bone, cellular bone matrix, acellular dermis, soft tissue and other products. The assets sold represented the entirety of our Orthobiologics segment. We received approximately $14.6 million, and we may earn up to an additional $20.0 million, in the aggregate, in the form of earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are equal to 10% of the actual revenue earned by Berkeley in each of the five years after the closing of the sale from sales of specified Orthobiologics products under the purchase agreement (including improvements, modifications, derivatives and enhancements related to those products). There have been no earn-out payments made to date. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we retained the liabilities arising out of the viable bone matrix (“VBM”) and FiberCel recall matters, as described in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, both of which products were part of the Orthobiologics Business. We recognized a gain of $6.0 million on the sale of the Orthobiologics Business in 2023 and an additional gain of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 from an adjustment payment related to the final working capital received by Berkeley at the sale date. Additionally, the purchase agreement provided for a customary indemnity holdback in the amount of $1.5 million to be retained by Berkeley for 24 months after closing of the transaction. In March 2026, the indemnity holdback was resolved with Berkeley remitting $0.4
32
million to Elutia. Such amount was recognized as additional gain in the first quarter of 2026. Should we receive incremental proceeds in the future through an earn-out payment, an additional gain will be recorded upon the receipt of such amounts.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Net Sales
We recognize revenue from the sale of our products. Our Women’s Health products are sold directly to hospitals and other healthcare facilities through independent sales agents, and until its termination in October 2025, through our distribution agreement with Tiger. From April 2023 through April 2025, our Cardiovascular products were sold through a distribution agreement with LeMaitre Vascular. In April 2025, this agreement with LeMaitre Vascular terminated, and, in May 2025, we resumed selling these products directly to hospitals and other healthcare facilities through independent sales agents.
Expenses
In recent years, we have incurred significant costs in the operation of our business. We expect that our recurring operating costs will largely stabilize, or increase at modest rates, in the near future through the identification of efficiencies as we grow. We may, however, still experience more significant expense increases to the extent we expand our sales and marketing, product development and clinical and research activities. As a result, we will need to generate significant net sales in order to achieve profitability. Below is a breakdown of our main expense categories and the related expenses incurred in each category:
Cost of Goods Sold
Our cost of goods sold relates to the purchase costs of the SimpliDerm finished goods and the purchased raw materials and minor finished good conversion costs required for the Cardiovascular products. Cost of goods sold also includes the amortization of intangibles related to the Cardiovascular products generated from the CorMatrix Acquisition in 2017.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses are primarily related to the sales commissions of our SimpliDerm and Cardiovascular independent sales agents. Additionally, this expense category includes distribution and customer service costs as well as market research, trade show attendance, advertising and public relations related to our products.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of compensation, consulting, legal, human resources, information technology, accounting, insurance (including directors’ and officers’ liability premiums), SEC compliance, and general business expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and fringe benefits, laboratory supplies, clinical studies and outside service costs. Over the last several years, our product development efforts have primarily related to activities associated with the development of EluPro, our initial DEB product offering, which gained FDA clearance in June 2024 and was sold in connection with the divestiture of the CIED Business in October 2025. Since then and in the future, our development efforts and associated internal and external costs are expected to focus on next-generation biologic scaffolds combined with local antibiotic delivery.
33
Litigation Costs, net
Litigation costs, net consist primarily of legal fees and the estimated and actual costs to resolve the outstanding FiberCel and VBM litigation cases offset by the estimated and actual amounts recoverable or recovered under insurance, indemnity and contribution agreements for such costs. Such expenses also include the FiberCel-related Medtronic litigation, which has been dismissed pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement reached in June 2026. See Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of all litigation proceedings.

Total net sales were $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to $2.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was due to lower sales of Women’s Health compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by growth in Cardiovascular. With respect to Cardiovascular, our former exclusive distribution agreement with LeMaitre Vascular terminated in April 2025, and we resumed selling these products directly through independent sales agents in May 2025. The sales increases in the three months ended June 30, 2026 were generated by both volume growth and higher unit prices as such sales are now at end-user pricing versus contracted prices (which are lower than end-user pricing). The decrease in Women’s Health was caused by a disruption in product supply from our contract manufacturer as well as our termination of the Tiger distribution agreement as noted above. Sales of SimpliDerm generated by Tiger totaled $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Total cost of goods sold decreased by $0.3 million to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross margin increased to 59.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from 52.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Excluding intangible asset amortization, gross margin increased to 70.7% from 62.7% during the respective periods. The improvement between years was due to both Women’s Health and Cardiovascular, for which, in mid to late 2025, we resumed selling these products only directly to hospitals and other healthcare facilities through our independent sales agents where end user pricing (versus contracted prices with distributors) yields higher margins.
Operating Expenses
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.1 million, or 7.3%, to $1.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expenses increased to 56.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2026 from 46.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was largely attributable to sales commission expense growth commensurate with the resumption in the direct selling of our Cardiovascular products as well as the entirety of SimpliDerm sales occurring through our commissioned independent sales agents in 2026.
General and Administrative
G&A expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 2.8%, to $3.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $3.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in expense was primarily driven by slightly lower legal fees compared to the prior year.
Research and Development
R&D expenses increased $1.5 million, or 155.5% to $2.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in expense reflects our heightened development activity in the 2026 period as we aggressively pursue the development of NXT-41 and NXT-41x, our next-generation biologic matrices, which in the case of NXT-41x, is combined with local antibiotic delivery.
Litigation Costs, net
Litigation costs, net decreased to $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $4.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in expense was primarily due to significant reductions in our FiberCel activities and related contingent liability fluctuations with nearly all cases having been settled as of June 30,
36
2026. As of June 30, 2026, insurance remains available to cover the cost of the VBM Litigation and related defense costs; however, we have no more insurance to cover the cost of the FiberCel Litigation and the related defense costs. See further discussion in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Interest Income, net
Interest income, net was less than $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the error correction related to the January 2024 Ligand amendment described in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Quarterly Report presents our gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. We calculate gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, as gross profit, excluding amortization expense relating to intangible assets we acquired in the CorMatrix Acquisition, divided by net sales. Gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, is a supplemental measure of our performance, is not defined by or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to our GAAP gross margin, gross profit or any other financial performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We present gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, because we believe that it provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance by removing the impact of amortization expense, which is not indicative of our overall operating performance. We believe this provides our management and investors with useful information to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. Our management uses this metric and the results of the segments in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance, and we believe investors’ understanding of our operating performance is similarly enhanced by our presentation of this metric.
Although we use gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, as described above, this metric has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure as a tool for comparison.
The following table presents a reconciliation of our gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is our GAAP gross margin (in thousands).

Seasonality
Historically, we have experienced seasonality in our first and fourth quarters, and we generally expect this trend to continue but may also see quarter-to-quarter fluctuations that are inconsistent with this trend. We have experienced and may in the future experience higher sales in the fourth quarter as a result of hospitals in the United States increasing their purchases of our products to coincide with the end of their budget cycles. Satisfaction of patient deductibles throughout the course of the year also results in increased sales later in the year, once patients have paid their annual insurance deductibles in full, which reduces their out-of-pocket costs. Conversely, our first quarter generally has lower sales than the preceding fourth quarter as patient deductibles are re-established with the new year, which increases their out-of-pocket costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $19.9 million. Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through amounts borrowed under our credit facilities, proceeds from our initial public offering (“IPO”), sales of our products and more recently, the sale of our Orthobiologics and CIED Businesses and proceeds from follow-on offerings and private placements of our common stock and warrants. Our historical cash outflows have primarily been associated with manufacturing and administrative costs, sales and marketing, research and development, clinical activity, purchase of property and equipment used in our production activities, litigation defense and settlement costs and investing in our commercial infrastructure. We expect to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future as we advance our development and commercialization of NXT-41 and NXT-41x. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our development and commercialization efforts, we are unable to predict when we will become profitable, and we may never become profitable. Our inability to achieve and then maintain profitability would negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The future viability of Elutia is dependent on our ability to generate cash flows from current or future product sales and/or raise additional capital to finance its operations. We may seek to raise capital through the issuance of common stock or debt such as the offerings described below and in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements or pursue asset sales or other transactions, such as the sale of the Orthobiologics and CIED Businesses and the pending sale of the SimpliDerm business described above. However, such transactions may not be successful, and we may not be able to raise additional equity, refinance our debt instruments, sell assets or obtain waivers or amendments to our obligations on acceptable terms, or at all.
On February 4, 2025, we sold, in a registered direct offering (“2025 Registered Offering”) an aggregate of (i) 5,520,000 shares of our Class A common stock and (ii) prefunded warrants (“2025 Prefunded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 480,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The public offering price for each share of Class A Common Stock was $2.50, and the public offering price for each 2025 Prefunded Warrant was $2.499, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $15.0 million, before deducting offering expenses. The 2025 Prefunded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Class A Common Stock, are exercisable immediately and will expire when exercised in full.
On June 16, 2024, we sold, in a registered direct offering (“2024 Registered Offering”) an aggregate of (i) 3,175,000 shares of our Class A common stock and (ii) prefunded warrants (“2024 Prefunded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 725,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The public offering price for each share of Class A Common Stock was $3.40, and the public offering price for each 2024 Prefunded Warrant was $3.399, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $13.3 million, before deducting offering expenses. The 2024 Prefunded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Class A Common Stock, are exercisable immediately and will expire when exercised in full.
On September 21, 2023, we sold, in a private offering (“Private Offering”) an aggregate of (i) 6,852,811 units (“Common Units”), each comprised of (a) one share of our Class A common stock and (b) a warrant (“Common Warrant”) to purchase one and one half shares of Class A Common Stock, and (ii) 503,058 units (the “Prefunded Units”), each comprised of (a) a prefunded warrant (“2023 Prefunded Warrant”) to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock, and (b) a Common Warrant. The Common Units were sold at a purchase price of $1.4275 per unit, and the 2023 Prefunded Units were sold at a purchase price of $1.4265 per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10.5 million, before deducting offering expenses. Each Common Warrant was exercisable until July 31, 2024, the date which was 30 trading days after the clearance by the FDA of EluPro, at an exercise price per share of $1.4275. All Common Warrants
40
were exercised by such date yielding exercise proceeds of $15.7 million in 2024. Certain of these exercises ultimately resulted in their conversion to 2023 Prefunded Warrants. Each 2023 Prefunded Warrant is exercisable at any time at a nominal exercise price per share of $0.001 (with the remainder of the exercise price per share of Class A Common Stock having been prefunded to us).
On October 1, 2025, in connection with and through the proceeds of the sale of the Company’s CIED Business described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we fully repaid the SWK Loan Facility as required by the terms of the credit agreement. As of such date, the outstanding principal, including the accrued exit fee, and accrued interest totaled approximately $26.9 million. The total payment by the Company to SWK in full satisfaction of the debt and termination of the credit agreement was $27.8 million.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $16.3 million compared to $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a lower operating loss in the current year.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $0.1 million compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of our Orthobiologics Business during the first quarter of 2026.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was less than $0.1 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The prior year’s cash generation was primarily through the 2025 Registered Offering.
Payoff and Termination of SWK Loan Facility
On August 10, 2022, we entered into a senior secured term loan facility with SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”), as agent, and other lenders party thereto (as amended and modified subsequent to August 10, 2022, the “SWK Loan Facility”) for an aggregate principal amount of $25 million. On October 1, 2025, in connection with and through the proceeds of the sale of the Company’s CIED Business described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, Elutia fully repaid the SWK Loan Facility as required by the terms of the credit agreement. As of such date, the outstanding principal, including the accrued exit fee, and accrued interest totaled approximately $26.9 million. The total payment by the Company to SWK in full satisfaction of the debt and termination of the credit agreement was $27.8 million.
Ligand Revenue Interest Obligation
41
We are also a party to a royalty agreement with Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Ligand”) pursuant to which we have incurred a long-term obligation to Ligand (the “Revenue Interest Obligation”). The Revenue Interest Obligation, as amended in January 2024, requires us to pay Ligand 5.0% of future sales of our CanGaroo, ProxiCor, Tyke and VasCure products, and substantially similar products, such as EluPro, through May 31, 2027, subject to annual minimum payments of $4.4 million.
Effective May 8, 2025, we entered into a subscription agreement and further amendment to the Revenue Interest Obligation with Ligand. Through the amendment, $2.2 million in outstanding royalty obligations (royalty obligations for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025) owed by Elutia to Ligand under the Revenue Interest Obligation as amended were satisfied by the issuance of 1,105,528 shares of Elutia’s Class A common stock to Ligand in a transaction registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On October 1, 2025, in connection with sale of the CIED Business described in Note 2, Ligand and the Company further amended the Amended Revenue Interest Obligation. Such amendment primarily consisted of a consent to the sale of the CIED Business and a release by Ligand of its security and royalty interest in the assets of the CIED Business including EluPro and CanGaroo.
Funding Requirements
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $19.9 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we further expand our product development and clinical and research activities. In addition, we expect to continue to incur significant costs and expenses associated with operating as a public company.
If our available cash balances and cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, substitution of cash payment obligations with equity or asset sale or other transactions. In the future, we may also seek to preserve existing capital by obtaining waivers, amendments or similar accommodations from our lenders and other obligees. However, such transactions may not be successful, and we may not be able to raise additional equity or debt, sell or license assets or obtain waivers or amendments on acceptable terms, or at all. We may also consider raising additional capital in the future to expand our business, pursue strategic investments or take advantage of financing opportunities. Our present and future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, among other things:
| ● | the cost of our research and development activities and the cost and timing of commercializing new products or technologies, including NXT-41 and NXT-41x; |
| ● | the costs of defending against, or the damages payable in connection with the FiberCel Litigation and VBM Litigation, associated litigation related to indemnity claims by other defendants to the FiberCel Litigation and any other ongoing or future litigation that we are or may be subject to (to the extent above the applicable insurance coverage); |
| ● | continued patient, physician and market acceptance of our products; |
| ● | the scope, rate of progress and cost of our current and future pre-clinical and clinical studies; |
| ● | the cost and timing of expanding our sales and marketing capabilities; |
| ● | the cost of filing and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, defending and enforcing our patent or other intellectual property rights; |
| ● | the cost of defending, in litigation or otherwise, any claims that we infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate third-party patents or other intellectual property rights; |
42
| ● | the cost and timing of additional regulatory approvals; |
| ● | costs associated with any product recall that may occur; |
| ● | the effect of competing technological and market developments; |
| ● | the expenses we incur in manufacturing and selling our products; |
| ● | the extent to which we acquire or invest in products, technologies and businesses in the future, although we may currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions; |
| ● | the costs of operating as a public company; and |
| ● | unanticipated general, legal and administrative expenses. |
In addition, our operating plans may change as a result of any number of factors, including those set forth above and other factors currently unknown to us, and we may need additional funds sooner than anticipated. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest may be materially diluted, and the terms of such securities could include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, creating liens, redeeming shares of our common stock and/or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, licensing agreements or other strategic alliances, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay the development or commercialization of our products, license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize and reduce marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our products or cease operations. See our 2025 Annual Report Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — Our future capital needs are uncertain and we may need to raise funds in the future, and such funds may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.”
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed the policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our 2025 Annual Report, and, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no material changes to those previously disclosed.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 3, “Recently Issued Accounting Standards,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including risks relating to changes in interest rates, foreign currency and inflation. The following discussion provides additional information regarding these risks.
43
Interest Rate Risk
As a result of the repayment of our SWK Loan Facility on October 1, 2025 (see “Payoff and Termination of SWK Loan Facility” in Part II, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), we were not subject to any material interest rate risk during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which was formerly our primary exposure to market risk.
Credit Risk
As of June 30, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents were maintained with two financial institutions in the United States. While our deposit accounts are insured up to the legal limit, the balances we maintain may, at times, exceed this insured limit. We believe these financial institutions have sufficient assets and liquidity to conduct their operations in the ordinary course of business with little or no credit risk to us.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our business is primarily conducted in U.S. dollars. Any transactions that may be conducted in foreign currencies are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As we grow our operations, our exposure to foreign currency risk could become more significant.
Inflation Risk
Inflationary factors, such as increases in our cost of goods sold or other operating expenses, may adversely affect our operating results. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we do not believe inflation had a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to increase the selling prices of our products or reduce our operating expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the effects future inflationary pressures may have on our gross margin. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our financial condition and results of operations will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
44
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may be involved in claims and proceedings arising in the course of our business. The outcome of any such claims or proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. For information about legal proceedings in which we are involved, see Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described as risk factors, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual operating results and financial condition to vary materially from past, or anticipated future, operating results and financial condition. For a discussion of these potential risks and uncertainties, see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2025 Annual Report. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and the price of our common stock. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those included in our 2025 Annual Report:
The sale of our SimpliDerm Business may not be completed within the expected timeframe, or at all, and the failure to complete the transaction could adversely affect our business, our financial condition and the market price of our stock.
On July 16, 2026, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “SimpliDerm APA”) to sell our SimpliDerm Business to Cellution Biologics Inc. (the “Disposition”). The consummation of the Disposition is subject to closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the accuracy of representations and warranties set forth in the SimpliDerm APA (subject to customary materiality qualifiers), (ii) the absence of any Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the SimpliDerm APA) with respect to the SimpliDerm Business, (iii) material compliance with covenants set forth in the SimpliDerm APA, (iv) the execution and delivery of certain related ancillary documents, (v) no termination or material impairment of assumed or shared contracts, (vi) resolution of certain supply related matters, and (vii) certain other conditions set forth in the SimpliDerm APA. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the closing of the Disposition, the Company expects the Disposition to occur in the third quarter of 2026. However, we cannot predict when or if these conditions will be satisfied. There can be no assurance that our business, our relationships or our financial condition will not be adversely affected, as compared to the condition prior to the announcement of the Disposition, if the Disposition is not consummated in a timely matter, or at all. If the Disposition is not completed, our directors, executive officers and other employees will have expended time and effort and experienced distractions from their work during the pendency of the Disposition and we will have incurred third-party transaction costs, in each case, without any commensurate benefit, which may have a material and adverse effect on our stock price, financial condition and results of operations.
Even if the Disposition is completed, the amount of net proceeds that we will receive from the Disposition will be subject to uncertainties.
The amount of net proceeds that we will receive from the Disposition is subject to uncertainties. The SimpliDerm APA provides for aggregate consideration payable to us of up to $11 million, consisting of: (i) a base purchase price of $8 million in cash, payable at closing of the transaction, subject to adjustment for any inventory shortfall; (ii) a contingent payment of up to $2 million, payable upon completion of certain technology transfer and manufacturing transition milestones within an 18-month period following the closing of the transaction, subject to reduction for sales shortfalls against monthly SimpliDerm sales targets during such transition period (the “Milestone Payments”); and (iii) contingent payments of up to $1 million, in the aggregate, in the form of earn-out payments, payable for any four of the first five quarters following the closing of the transaction in which SimpliDerm sales exceed a specified quarterly revenue target (the “Earn-Out Payments”). However, there can be no assurance that these technology transfer and manufacturing transition milestones will be achieved, or that these revenue targets will be met, on a timely basis. Accordingly, we may not receive a portion, or any of, the contingent Milestone Payments and/or contingent Earn-Out Payments following the Disposition. In addition, following the Disposition, if Cellution successfully asserts claims against us pursuant to the
45
SimpliDerm APA, the amount of net proceeds may be subject to further reduction. We may also have unforeseen liabilities and expenses that must be satisfied from the after-tax net proceeds of the Disposition. As a result, the amount of the net proceeds from the Disposition is subject to substantial uncertainty, and it is possible that the net proceeds from the Disposition will be materially less than we expect.
Even if the Disposition is completed, we may not realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the sale of our SimpliDerm Business.
We may not be able to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits expected to result from the sale of our SimpliDerm Business, or such benefits may be delayed or not occur at all. Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Disposition will depend significantly on our ability to successfully develop, commercialize and grow our drug-eluting biomatrix (“DEB”) platform. In addition, some of the anticipated benefits may not occur for a significant time period following the completion of the Disposition. If our strategy is not successful and does not achieve our expectations over the long term, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected and the price of our stock could decline.
If the Disposition is completed, our future results of operations, which will be solely dependent on our ability to successfully develop, commercialize and grow our drug-eluting biomatrix platform and on the operations of our Cardiovascular segment, may differ materially from our previous results.
The SimpliDerm Business generated approximately 61% of our aggregate revenue for the first six months of 2026, and approximately 81% of our aggregate revenue for the first six months of 2025. Accordingly, our future financial results may differ from our previous results since our future financial results will be dependent solely (i) on our ability to successfully develop, commercialize and grow our drug-eluting biomatrix platform and (ii) on the existing operations of our Cardiovascular segment. In addition, as we have previously announced, we are also exploring the potential divestiture of our Cardiovascular product line.
As we have previously disclosed, following the sale of the CIED Business, we are focused on advancing our DEB platform. Our lead development programs in our DEB platform comprise NXT 41, a next-generation biologic matrix, and NXT-41x, which builds on the NXT-41 matrix by incorporating local antibiotic delivery. However, we have not yet received FDA clearance for either NXT-41 or NXT-41x. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the FDA approvals we may seek will be granted on a timely basis, or at all, or that other actions or approvals are not required. If we fail to successfully develop, commercialize, market and sell NXT-41x, the Company’s business and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
We may not be able to maintain a listing of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Because our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. On August 6, 2026, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), was below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum closing bid price (the “Minimum Bid Price”) required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Notice”). We were provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until February 2, 2027 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement. As of the date of this filing, we have not had a closing bid price over $1.00 and there can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement prior to the end of the Compliance Period or that we will otherwise maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
If we do not regain compliance during the Compliance Period, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price, provided that we meet the applicable market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing and all other applicable standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (except the Minimum Bid Price requirement), and notify Nasdaq of our intent to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split of our Common Stock, if necessary. If Nasdaq determines that we are not eligible for an
46
additional 180 calendar days compliance period or we will not be able to cure the deficiency with the Minimum Bid Price requirement within the allotted compliance period, the Common Stock will be subject to delisting.
We will continue to actively monitor the closing bid price of our Common Stock and will evaluate available options, including, without limitation, seeking to effect a reverse stock split, in order to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement. However, if we fail to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement, or otherwise violate or fail to meet any Nasdaq listing requirements, our Common Stock may be delisted. A delisting of our Common Stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Common Stock. In the event our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the delisting of our Common Stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and stockholder value.

Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act)
New Loan Agreement and 2026 Warrants
On August 11, 2026 (the “Loan Agreement Closing Date”), the Company entered into a loan and security agreement, and supplement to loan and security agreement (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”), with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders (in such capacities, the “Loan Agent”) and as lender (“Avenue 2”), and Avenue Growth Lending Fund III, L.P., as a lender (“Avenue 3”; together with Avenue 2, the “Lenders”), which provides for a senior secured term loan facility of up to $15 million in the aggregate that matures on March 1, 2030, consisting of (i) an initial term loan of $10 million (the “First Tranche Term Loan”), which was fully funded on the Loan Agreement Closing Date, and (ii) a $5 million delayed draw term loan (the “Second Tranche Term Loan”), which will be made available between May 1, 2027 and September 30, 2027, subject to the satisfaction of certain regulatory approvals and liquidity conditions (the “Second Tranche Term Loan”, which together with the First Tranche Term Loan, the “Term Loans”).
The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of its assets. The Term Loans bear interest at the greater of (i) 12.25% and (ii) the sum of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus 5.50%. Interest-only payments on the principal amount outstanding are due monthly beginning with the month the loan is disbursed. Beginning on either (i) February 11, 2028, or (ii) if the Second Tranche Term Loan has been drawn, August 11, 2028, the Company will also be required to repay in equal monthly installments (the “Amortization Payments”) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans.
47
If any portion of the Loan Agreement is prepaid prior to the maturity date (other than the Amortization Payments), then the Company will pay a prepayment premium with respect to such portion of the Term Loans being prepaid equal to (i) during the first year after the Loan Agreement Closing Date, 3.0% of the principal amount of such portion; (ii) during the second year after the Loan Agreement Closing Date, 2.0% of the principal amount of such portion; and (iii) thereafter but prior to the maturity date, 1.0% of the principal amount of such portion. In addition, the Company will pay certain other fees with respect to the Loan Agreement, including an upfront fee and a final payment fee equal to 4% of Term Loans funded.
The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, the provision of financial and other information to the Loan Agent, notice to the Loan Agent upon the occurrence of certain material events, compliance with applicable laws and certain liquidity requirements. The Loan Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, including certain restrictions on the ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, pay dividends, redeem the Company’s capital stock and grant liens or security interests on assets. The Loan Agreement includes certain customary events of default. If a default occurs and is continuing, the Company may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement. The Company may use the proceeds of borrowings under the Loan Agreement as working capital and to fund its general business requirements.
The Loan Agreement also provides that the Lenders may elect to convert up to $2.5 million of the principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding thereunder into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) at a price per share equal to 120% of the Warrant Price (as defined below).
In addition, the Loan Agreement provides that the Lenders have the right, in their discretion, to invest up to $1.0 million in equity securities on the same terms, conditions and pricing offered by the Company to any investor in connection with an equity securities offering that occurs after the Loan Agreement Closing Date. The Lenders’ co-invest right terminates upon the repayment in full of all obligations owing under the Loan Agreements and is subject to certain qualifications and limitations as more fully set forth in the Loan Agreement.
In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Lenders warrants (the “2026 Warrants”) exercisable for 1,395,348 shares of Common Stock, subject to possible adjustment in the event of a dilutive financing between the date of issuance and December 31, 2026. The exercise price of the 2026 Warrants will be the lower of (i) $0.86 and (ii) the lowest effective sale price per share paid in cash by third party investors to the Company for its Common Stock in any bona fide offering of Common Stock (or instruments exercisable for, or convertible into, shares of Common Stock) consummated at any time until (but excluding) December 31, 2026, subject to certain exceptions, in each case as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Warrants (the “Warrant Price”). The 2026 Warrants became exercisable on the date of issuance and will expire on August 31, 2031. A holder of the 2026 Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of the 2026 Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, with the Company’s consent, up to 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement and the 2026 Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.47 and 10.48 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and incorporated herein by reference, and the full text of the 2026 Warrants, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.10 and 4.11 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and incorporated herein by reference.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE
SHARES OF STOCK OF
ELUTIA INC.
(Void after August 31, 2031)
This certifies that AVENUE VENTURE OPPORTUNITIES FUND II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with its permitted assigns, “Holder”), for value received, is entitled to purchase from ELUTIA INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), the Applicable Number (hereinafter defined) of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), for cash, at a purchase price per share equal to the Exercise Price (hereinafter defined).

Subject to Section 4.3, this Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time to time up to and including 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on August 31, 2031 (the “Expiration Date”), upon surrender to Company at its principal office at 20 Firstfield Rd, Gaithersburg, MD 20878 (or at such other location as Company may advise Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of Subscription attached hereto duly completed and signed and upon payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 4 of this Warrant.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1.Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a)Unless an election is made pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 1, this Warrant shall be exercisable at the option of Holder, at any time or from time to time, on or before the Expiration Date for all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock (but not for a fraction of a share) which may be purchased hereunder for the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares to be purchased. Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which the form of subscription shall have been delivered and payment made for
2
such shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 2, certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, together with any other securities or property to which Holder is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to Holder by Company at Company’s expense within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. Except as provided in clause (b) of this Section 1, in case of a purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable under this Warrant surrendered upon such purchase to Holder within a reasonable time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of Common Stock as may be requested by Holder and shall be registered in the name of Holder or such other name as shall be designated by Holder, subject to the limitations contained in Section 2.
(b)Holder, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by the cash payment of the Exercise Price pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 1, may elect, at any time on or before the Expiration Date, to surrender this Warrant and receive that number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

Where:X=the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.
Y=the number of shares of Common Stock that Holder would otherwise have been entitled to purchase hereunder pursuant to Section 1(a) (or such lesser number of shares as Holder may designate in the case of a partial exercise of this Warrant).
A=the price per share of the Common Stock as of the last Trading Day immediately prior to the date of exercise under this Section 1(b).
B=the Exercise Price then in effect.
Election to exercise under this Section 1(b) may be made by delivering a signed form of subscription to Company via electronic mail or facsimile, to be followed by delivery of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, if as of the close of business on the last business day preceding the Expiration Date this Warrant remains unexercised as to all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder, then effective at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the Expiration Date, Holder shall be deemed, automatically and without need for notice to Company, to have elected to exercise this Warrant in full pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(b), and upon surrender of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock computed using the above formula, provided that the application of such formula as of the Expiration Date yields a positive number for “X”.
(c)The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, Holder may rely on the number of outstanding
3
shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(c) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of Holder, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days confirm to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to Holder. Notwithstanding anything anywhere in this Warrant to the contrary, the aggregate number of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant shall not exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which Holder may exercise pursuant to the terms of this Warrant without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Trading Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Trading Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or such approval is not required pursuant to the applicable rules of the Principal Trading Market.
2.Limitation on Transfer.
(a)This Warrant and the Common Stock shall not be transferable except upon the conditions specified in this Section 2, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Each holder of this Warrant or the Common Stock issuable hereunder will cause any proposed transferee of the Warrant or Common Stock to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Section 2. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Section 2 but subject to the legend requirement of Section 2(b), if applicable, and the last sentence of Section 2(c), Holder may freely transfer all or part of this Warrant or the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the shares, if any) at any time to any affiliate of Lender if such transfer is made without payment of consideration by the transferee, by giving Company notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred setting forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and surrendering this Warrant to Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder, if applicable).
(b)Each certificate representing (i) this Warrant, (ii) the Common Stock, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the Common Stock issued upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Section 2 or unless such securities have been registered under the Securities Act or sold under Rule 144) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) SUCH REGISTRATION, (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED DUE TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (C) ELUTIA INC. OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS COMPLIANT WITH SUCH LAWS.
4
(c)Holder and each person to whom this Warrant is subsequently transferred represents and warrants to Company and agrees (by acceptance of such transfer) that it will not transfer this Warrant (or securities issuable upon exercise hereof unless a registration statement under the Securities Act was in effect with respect to such securities at the time of issuance thereof) unless (i) with respect to securities issued upon exercise, there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws covering any such transaction, (ii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any other rule under the Securities Act relating to the disposition of securities), (iii) Company receives an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Company, that an exemption from registration is available or (iv) the Company otherwise satisfies itself that such transaction is exempt from registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Section 2, Holder shall not transfer this Warrant (or securities issuable upon exercise hereof, or securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of such securities, if any) to any competitor of Company, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Company (the “Board”), without the prior written consent of Company.
3.Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights of any stockholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock, or other securities and property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed. Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Exercise Price (as described in Section 4 hereof) (i) if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of all outstanding warrants, together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Charter”), or (ii) if the par value per share of the Common Stock would exceed the Exercise Price.
4.Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
4.1Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
4.2Dividends. If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive,
(a)Common Stock, or any shares of stock or other securities whether or not such securities are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,
5
(b)any cash paid or payable including as a cash dividend, or
(c)Common Stock or other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, (other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split, adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 4.1 above),
then and in each such case, Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (b) and (c) above) which Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares and/or all other additional stock and other securities and property.
4.3Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) if the transaction in such Change of Control values the Company's Common Stock at less than three (3) times the Exercise Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be automatically exchanged for a number of shares of Company’s securities, such number of shares being equal to the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to the terms hereof (after taking into account all adjustments described herein) had Holder elected to exercise this Warrant immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control and purchased all such shares pursuant to the cash exercise provision set forth in Section 1(a) hereof (as opposed to the cashless exercise provision set forth in Section 1(b)). Company acknowledges and agrees that Holder shall not be required to make any payment (cash or otherwise) for such shares as further consideration for their issuance pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence. “Change of Control” shall mean any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company (provided, the sale of all or substantially all of the SimpliDerm Assets and/or Cardiovascular Franchise Assets shall not constitute a Change of Control), any reorganization, consolidation, merger or other transaction involving Company where the holders of Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction; provided that an issuance of equity securities for the primary purpose of raising capital shall not be considered a Change of Control under this Warrant. This Warrant shall terminate upon Holder’s receipt of the number of shares of Company’s equity securities described in this Section 4.3.
4.4Reserved.
4.5Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and/or any increase or decrease in the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, Company shall give written notice thereof to Holder pursuant to Section 12. The notice, which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” attached hereto, shall be signed by Company’s chief financial officer and shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
4.6Other Notices. If at any time:
(a)Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock;
(b)Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock;
(c)Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
6
(d)there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of Company, or consolidation or merger of Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity;
(e)there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of Company; or
(f)Company shall take or propose to take any other action, notice of which is actually provided to holders of the Common Stock;
then, in any one or more of said cases, Company shall give Holder, pursuant to Section 12, (i) at least 5 days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or other action and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or other action, at least 5 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or other action as the case may be.
5.Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to Holder of this Warrant for any issue tax in respect thereof; provided, however, that Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then Holder of this Warrant being exercised.
6.Closing of Books. Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
7.No Voting Rights; Limitation of Liability. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder hereof the right to vote or to consent as a stockholder in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election of directors of Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised; provided, however, that if any dividends are due or paid at any time on the underlying securities for which this Warrant is exercisable, then upon exercise, the securities issued to Holder shall be deemed to have accrued dividends and be paid identical dividends from the same time as the outstanding shares for which this Warrant is exercisable were first issued (or, if later, the date of this Warrant). No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of Company, whether such liability is asserted by Company or by its creditors.
8.Amendment of Charter. Unless Holder consents thereto in writing, Company shall not amend its Charter prior to the exercise of this Warrant if the Common Stock would be adversely affected by such amendment in a manner that would be more adverse to Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant than, and substantially dissimilar to, such amendment’s effect on the other holders of the Common Stock.
9.Registration Rights.
7
(a)If Company has an effective and usable resale shelf registration statement on SEC Form S-3 at the time of any written request by Holder, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, within ninety (90) days of such written request by Holder, file a prospectus supplement to include the shares of Common Stock obtained upon exercise of this Warrant (“Registrable Securities”) to include the Registrable Securities for resale thereunder. If Registrable Securities cannot be added to an effective and usable existing shelf registration statement by prospectus supplement, but can be added by post-effective amendment, Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to such effective and usable shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the post-effective amendment to become effective within ninety (90) days of such written request; provided, however, that Company is under no obligation to prepare and file such post-effective amendment if the Company would be obligated to recast any previously-filed historical financial information.
(b)If no shelf registration statement is then effective or usable, or Registrable Securities cannot be added to such effective and usable shelf registration statement as described in Section 9(a) above, then upon the written request of Holder, Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement (the “Demand Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock obtained upon exercise of this Warrant (“Registrable Securities”) from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Demand Registration Statement to become effective within 90 days of such written request, and (iii) cause the Demand Registration Statement (or a successor or replacement registration statement) to remain effective at all times that any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, except for any Allowed Delay (as defined below); provided, however, Company shall be under no obligation to file a Demand Registration Statement, cause it to become effective or maintain its effectiveness at such time as the Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and is then able to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation (including without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act), or when all Registrable Securities have been resold; provided, further, that in the event Company would be required to recast any previously-filed historical financial information in order to file the Demand Registration Statement, Company’s obligations under clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be triggered upon the latest to occur of (x) Holder’s written request, (y) the filing of Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2026 and (z) March 31, 2027. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that Registrable Securities issued to it will not be issued in a registered transaction, and may only be resold pursuant to the Demand Registration Statement or in another registered transaction, and only if also qualified or registered under any applicable state law, or in a transaction exempt from the Securities Act and any applicable state laws, and any Registrable Securities issued to the Holder will bear, or have associated with them, a legend to such effect. Holder may make one written request pursuant to this Section 9.
(c)Whenever the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration (i) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan, or (iv) in connection with a strategic or commercial arrangement with a vendor, licensor or similar business partner, other than a lender, that is not primarily for capital-raising purposes), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company, and the form of registration statement (a “Piggyback Registration Statement”, and together with a Demand Registration Statement, a “Registration Statement”) may be used for the resale of Registrable Securities, the Company shall give written notice to Holder of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 9(d) and Section 9(e), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion from the Holder within five (5) business days after the Company's notice has been given to each such holder. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration Statement at any time in its sole discretion.
8
(d)If a Piggyback Registration Statement is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that the number of shares of Common Stock and/or Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration or takedown potentially exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock and/or Registrable Securities proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the securities to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration by other holders, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included by each such holder, or in such other manner as they may otherwise agree.
(e)If a Piggyback Registration Statement is initiated as an underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of Common Stock other than Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that the number of shares of Common Stock and/or Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration potentially exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the securities to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, all securities requested to be included by the holder(s) initiating such registration, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration by other holders (including Holder), allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included by each such holder, or in such other manner as they may otherwise agree.
(f)It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 9 that the Holder shall furnish to Company such information regarding the Holder, the Company securities held by it, and any other information that is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, including the completion of a customary selling security holder questionnaire.
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Company may, upon written notice to Holder, suspend the use of a Registration Statement, including any prospectus that forms a part of the Registration Statement, if the Company determines (i) that it would be required to make disclosure of material information in the Registration Statement that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, (ii) it must amend the Registration Statement to include recast or other historical financial statements or financial information, whether due to a fundamental change (within the meaning of Item 512 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K) or otherwise, or (iii) it must otherwise amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the related prospectus to correct a material misstatement or omission therein (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, however, that (x) no single Allowed Delay shall exceed forty-five (45) consecutive days, (y) the aggregate number of days during which Allowed Delays are in effect shall not exceed ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period, and (z) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate any Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable; provided, further, that in the event the Allowed Delay is due to a requirement to recast previously filed financial information, the Allowed Delay may last until the SEC filing due date for the Company’s next annual report on Form 10-K.
(h)Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities listed in a Registration Statement to be listed on any securities exchange, quotation system or market, if any, on which similar securities issued by Company are then listed or traded.
(i)All reasonable fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with Section 9 by Company (excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions and the fees and expenses of any attorneys or other advisors engaged by Holder) shall be borne by Company.
(j)Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Holder, its officers, directors, members, partners, agents, and each person who controls Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising
9
out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Company shall not be liable for any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Company by or on behalf of Holder specifically for inclusion therein.
(k)Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless Company, its officers, directors, members, partners, agents, and each person who controls Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any information furnished in writing by or on behalf of Holder specifically for inclusion in a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state in such information furnished by or on behalf of Holder a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
10.Rights and Obligations Survive Exercise of Warrant. The rights and obligations of Company, of Holder of this Warrant and of the holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, contained in Sections 6, 8, 9 and 18 shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 4 of this Warrant.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1.Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a)Unless an election is made pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 1, this Warrant shall be exercisable at the option of Holder, at any time or from time to time, on or before the Expiration Date for all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock (but not for a fraction of a share) which may be purchased hereunder for the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares to be purchased. Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which the form of subscription shall have been delivered and payment made for
2
such shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 2, certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, together with any other securities or property to which Holder is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to Holder by Company at Company’s expense within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. Except as provided in clause (b) of this Section 1, in case of a purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable under this Warrant surrendered upon such purchase to Holder within a reasonable time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of Common Stock as may be requested by Holder and shall be registered in the name of Holder or such other name as shall be designated by Holder, subject to the limitations contained in Section 2.
(b)Holder, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by the cash payment of the Exercise Price pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 1, may elect, at any time on or before the Expiration Date, to surrender this Warrant and receive that number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

Where:X=the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.
Y=the number of shares of Common Stock that Holder would otherwise have been entitled to purchase hereunder pursuant to Section 1(a) (or such lesser number of shares as Holder may designate in the case of a partial exercise of this Warrant).
A=the price per share of the Common Stock as of the last Trading Day immediately prior to the date of exercise under this Section 1(b).
B=the Exercise Price then in effect.
Election to exercise under this Section 1(b) may be made by delivering a signed form of subscription to Company via electronic mail or facsimile, to be followed by delivery of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, if as of the close of business on the last business day preceding the Expiration Date this Warrant remains unexercised as to all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder, then effective at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the Expiration Date, Holder shall be deemed, automatically and without need for notice to Company, to have elected to exercise this Warrant in full pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(b), and upon surrender of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock computed using the above formula, provided that the application of such formula as of the Expiration Date yields a positive number for “X”.
(c)The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, Holder may rely on the number of outstanding
3
shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(c) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of Holder, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days confirm to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to Holder. Notwithstanding anything anywhere in this Warrant to the contrary, the aggregate number of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant shall not exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which Holder may exercise pursuant to the terms of this Warrant without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Trading Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Trading Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or such approval is not required pursuant to the applicable rules of the Principal Trading Market.
2.Limitation on Transfer.
(a)This Warrant and the Common Stock shall not be transferable except upon the conditions specified in this Section 2, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Each holder of this Warrant or the Common Stock issuable hereunder will cause any proposed transferee of the Warrant or Common Stock to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Section 2. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Section 2 but subject to the legend requirement of Section 2(b), if applicable, and the last sentence of Section 2(c), Holder may freely transfer all or part of this Warrant or the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the shares, if any) at any time to any affiliate of Lender if such transfer is made without payment of consideration by the transferee, by giving Company notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred setting forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and surrendering this Warrant to Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder, if applicable).
(b)Each certificate representing (i) this Warrant, (ii) the Common Stock, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the Common Stock issued upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Section 2 or unless such securities have been registered under the Securities Act or sold under Rule 144) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) SUCH REGISTRATION, (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED DUE TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (C) ELUTIA INC. OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS COMPLIANT WITH SUCH LAWS.
4
(c)Holder and each person to whom this Warrant is subsequently transferred represents and warrants to Company and agrees (by acceptance of such transfer) that it will not transfer this Warrant (or securities issuable upon exercise hereof unless a registration statement under the Securities Act was in effect with respect to such securities at the time of issuance thereof) unless (i) with respect to securities issued upon exercise, there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws covering any such transaction, (ii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any other rule under the Securities Act relating to the disposition of securities), (iii) Company receives an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Company, that an exemption from registration is available or (iv) the Company otherwise satisfies itself that such transaction is exempt from registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Section 2, Holder shall not transfer this Warrant (or securities issuable upon exercise hereof, or securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of such securities, if any) to any competitor of Company, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Company (the “Board”), without the prior written consent of Company.
3.Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights of any stockholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock, or other securities and property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed. Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Exercise Price (as described in Section 4 hereof) (i) if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of all outstanding warrants, together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Charter”), or (ii) if the par value per share of the Common Stock would exceed the Exercise Price.
4.Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
4.1Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
4.2Dividends. If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive,
(a)Common Stock, or any shares of stock or other securities whether or not such securities are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,
5
(b)any cash paid or payable including as a cash dividend, or
(c)Common Stock or other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, (other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split, adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 4.1 above),
then and in each such case, Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (b) and (c) above) which Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares and/or all other additional stock and other securities and property.
4.3Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) if the transaction in such Change of Control values the Company's Common Stock at less than three (3) times the Exercise Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be automatically exchanged for a number of shares of Company’s securities, such number of shares being equal to the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to the terms hereof (after taking into account all adjustments described herein) had Holder elected to exercise this Warrant immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control and purchased all such shares pursuant to the cash exercise provision set forth in Section 1(a) hereof (as opposed to the cashless exercise provision set forth in Section 1(b)). Company acknowledges and agrees that Holder shall not be required to make any payment (cash or otherwise) for such shares as further consideration for their issuance pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence. “Change of Control” shall mean any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company (provided, the sale of all or substantially all of the SimpliDerm Assets and/or Cardiovascular Franchise Assets shall not constitute a Change of Control), any reorganization, consolidation, merger or other transaction involving Company where the holders of Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction; provided that an issuance of equity securities for the primary purpose of raising capital shall not be considered a Change of Control under this Warrant. This Warrant shall terminate upon Holder’s receipt of the number of shares of Company’s equity securities described in this Section 4.3.
4.4Reserved.
4.5Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and/or any increase or decrease in the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, Company shall give written notice thereof to Holder pursuant to Section 12. The notice, which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” attached hereto, shall be signed by Company’s chief financial officer and shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

(b)Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock;
(c)Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;

then, in any one or more of said cases, Company shall give Holder, pursuant to Section 12, (i) at least 5 days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or other action and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or other action, at least 5 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or other action as the case may be.
5.Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to Holder of this Warrant for any issue tax in respect thereof; provided, however, that Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then Holder of this Warrant being exercised.
6.Closing of Books. Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
7.No Voting Rights; Limitation of Liability. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder hereof the right to vote or to consent as a stockholder in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election of directors of Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised; provided, however, that if any dividends are due or paid at any time on the underlying securities for which this Warrant is exercisable, then upon exercise, the securities issued to Holder shall be deemed to have accrued dividends and be paid identical dividends from the same time as the outstanding shares for which this Warrant is exercisable were first issued (or, if later, the date of this Warrant). No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of Company, whether such liability is asserted by Company or by its creditors.
8.Amendment of Charter. Unless Holder consents thereto in writing, Company shall not amend its Charter prior to the exercise of this Warrant if the Common Stock would be adversely affected by such amendment in a manner that would be more adverse to Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant than, and substantially dissimilar to, such amendment’s effect on the other holders of the Common Stock.
9.Registration Rights.
7
(a)If Company has an effective and usable resale shelf registration statement on SEC Form S-3 at the time of any written request by Holder, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, within ninety (90) days of such written request by Holder, file a prospectus supplement to include the shares of Common Stock obtained upon exercise of this Warrant (“Registrable Securities”) to include the Registrable Securities for resale thereunder. If Registrable Securities cannot be added to an effective and usable existing shelf registration statement by prospectus supplement, but can be added by post-effective amendment, Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to such effective and usable shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the post-effective amendment to become effective within ninety (90) days of such written request; provided, however, that Company is under no obligation to prepare and file such post-effective amendment if the Company would be obligated to recast any previously-filed historical financial information.
(b)If no shelf registration statement is then effective or usable, or Registrable Securities cannot be added to such effective and usable shelf registration statement as described in Section 9(a) above, then upon the written request of Holder, Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement (the “Demand Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock obtained upon exercise of this Warrant (“Registrable Securities”) from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Demand Registration Statement to become effective within 90 days of such written request, and (iii) cause the Demand Registration Statement (or a successor or replacement registration statement) to remain effective at all times that any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, except for any Allowed Delay (as defined below); provided, however, Company shall be under no obligation to file a Demand Registration Statement, cause it to become effective or maintain its effectiveness at such time as the Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and is then able to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation (including without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act), or when all Registrable Securities have been resold; provided, further, that in the event Company would be required to recast any previously-filed historical financial information in order to file the Demand Registration Statement, Company’s obligations under clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be triggered upon the latest to occur of (x) Holder’s written request, (y) the filing of Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2026 and (z) March 31, 2027. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that Registrable Securities issued to it will not be issued in a registered transaction, and may only be resold pursuant to the Demand Registration Statement or in another registered transaction, and only if also qualified or registered under any applicable state law, or in a transaction exempt from the Securities Act and any applicable state laws, and any Registrable Securities issued to the Holder will bear, or have associated with them, a legend to such effect. Holder may make one written request pursuant to this Section 9.
(c)Whenever the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration (i) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan, or (iv) in connection with a strategic or commercial arrangement with a vendor, licensor or similar business partner, other than a lender, that is not primarily for capital-raising purposes), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company, and the form of registration statement (a “Piggyback Registration Statement”, and together with a Demand Registration Statement, a “Registration Statement”) may be used for the resale of Registrable Securities, the Company shall give written notice to Holder of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 9(d) and Section 9(e), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion from the Holder within five (5) business days after the Company's notice has been given to each such holder. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration Statement at any time in its sole discretion.
8
(d)If a Piggyback Registration Statement is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that the number of shares of Common Stock and/or Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration or takedown potentially exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock and/or Registrable Securities proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the securities to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration by other holders, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included by each such holder, or in such other manner as they may otherwise agree.
(e)If a Piggyback Registration Statement is initiated as an underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of Common Stock other than Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that the number of shares of Common Stock and/or Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration potentially exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the securities to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, all securities requested to be included by the holder(s) initiating such registration, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration by other holders (including Holder), allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included by each such holder, or in such other manner as they may otherwise agree.
(f)It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 9 that the Holder shall furnish to Company such information regarding the Holder, the Company securities held by it, and any other information that is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, including the completion of a customary selling security holder questionnaire.
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Company may, upon written notice to Holder, suspend the use of a Registration Statement, including any prospectus that forms a part of the Registration Statement, if the Company determines (i) that it would be required to make disclosure of material information in the Registration Statement that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, (ii) it must amend the Registration Statement to include recast or other historical financial statements or financial information, whether due to a fundamental change (within the meaning of Item 512 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K) or otherwise, or (iii) it must otherwise amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the related prospectus to correct a material misstatement or omission therein (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, however, that (x) no single Allowed Delay shall exceed forty-five (45) consecutive days, (y) the aggregate number of days during which Allowed Delays are in effect shall not exceed ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period, and (z) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate any Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable; provided, further, that in the event the Allowed Delay is due to a requirement to recast previously filed financial information, the Allowed Delay may last until the SEC filing due date for the Company’s next annual report on Form 10-K.
(h)Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities listed in a Registration Statement to be listed on any securities exchange, quotation system or market, if any, on which similar securities issued by Company are then listed or traded.
(i)All reasonable fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with Section 9 by Company (excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions and the fees and expenses of any attorneys or other advisors engaged by Holder) shall be borne by Company.
(j)Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Holder, its officers, directors, members, partners, agents, and each person who controls Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising
9
out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Company shall not be liable for any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Company by or on behalf of Holder specifically for inclusion therein.
(k)Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless Company, its officers, directors, members, partners, agents, and each person who controls Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any information furnished in writing by or on behalf of Holder specifically for inclusion in a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state in such information furnished by or on behalf of Holder a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

13.Survival of Certain Obligations. All of the obligations of Company relating to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall survive the exercise and termination of this Warrant. All of the covenants and agreements of Company shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. Company will, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon request of Holder but at Company’s expense, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to Holder in respect of any rights (including, without limitation, any right to registration of the shares of Common Stock) to which Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with this Warrant; provided, that the failure of Holder to make any such request shall not affect the continuing obligation of Company to Holder in respect of such rights.
14.Descriptive Headings and Governing Law. The descriptive headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware.

Exhibit 10.47
CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND REPLACED WITH “[***]”. SUCH IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THIS EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT IS (i) NOT MATERIAL AND (ii) THE REGISTRANT CUSTOMARILY AND ACTUALLY TREATS THAT INFORMATION AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Dated as of August 11, 2026
among
ELUTIA INC.,
a Delaware corporation
(“Parent”),
and
ELUTIA MED LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company
(“Elutia Med”; and together with Parent, jointly and severally, individually and collectively, “Borrower”)
and
AVENUE VENTURE OPPORTUNITIES FUND II, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership
(as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity “Agent”)
and
AVENUE VENTURE OPPORTUNITIES FUND II, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership, (“Avenue 2”)
as a lender
and
AVENUE GROWTH LENDING FUND III, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership (“Avenue 3”)
as a lender (in such capacity, together with Avenue 2 and each other lender from time to time party hereto, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”)
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Borrower, Lenders and Agent have entered or anticipate entering into one or more transactions pursuant to which each Lender agrees to make available to Borrower a loan facility governed by the terms and conditions set forth in this document and one or more Supplements executed by Borrower, Lenders and Agent which incorporate this document by reference. Each Supplement constitutes a supplement to and forms part of this document and will be read and construed as one with this document, so that this document and the Supplement constitute a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”).
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1 - INTERPRETATION
1.1Definitions. The terms defined in Article 10 and in the Supplement will have the meanings therein specified for purposes of this Agreement.
1.2Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Supplement and this document, the provisions of the Supplement will be controlling for the purpose of all relevant transactions.
ARTICLE 2 - THE COMMITMENT AND LOANS
2.1The Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees to make term loans to Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date and to and including the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the Commitment. The Commitment is not a revolving credit commitment, and Borrower does not have the right to repay and reborrow hereunder. The aggregate Loans requested by Borrower to be made on a single Business Day shall be for a minimum principal amount set forth in the Supplement, except to the extent the remaining Commitment is a lesser amount.
2.2Notes Evidencing Loans; Repayment. Each Loan shall be evidenced by a separate Note payable to the order of each Lender of such Loan, in the total principal amount of the Loan. Principal and interest of each Loan shall be payable at the times and in the manner set forth in the Note and regularly scheduled payments thereof shall be effected by automatic debit of the appropriate funds from Borrower’s Primary Operating Account as specified in the Supplement hereto. Repayment of the Loans and payment of all other amounts owed to each Lender will be paid by Borrower in the currency in which the same has been provided (i.e., United States Dollars).
2.3Procedures for Borrowing.
(a)At least five (5) Business Days prior to a proposed Borrowing Date (or such lesser period of time as may be agreed upon by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion), Agent shall have received from Borrower a written request for a borrowing hereunder (a “Borrowing Request”). Each Borrowing Request shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit “B” to the Supplement, shall be executed by a responsible executive or financial officer of Borrower, and shall state how much is requested, and shall be accompanied by such other information and documentation as any Lender may reasonably request, including the executed Note(s) for the Loan(s) covered by the Borrowing Request.
(b)No later than 1:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on the Borrowing Date, if Borrower has satisfied the conditions precedent in Article 4 by 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on such Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make its Loan available to Borrower in immediately available funds.
2.4Interest. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Note and/or Supplement, Basic Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall accrue daily at the Designated Rate from the Borrowing Date. If the outstanding principal balance of such Loan is not paid at maturity, interest shall accrue at the Default Rate until paid in full, as further set forth herein.
2.5Intentionally Omitted.
2.6Interest Rate Calculation. Basic Interest, along with charges and fees under this Agreement and any Loan Document, shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, which results in higher interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year were used. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay any Lender interest, charges or fees at
1
a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.
2.7Default Interest. Any unpaid payments in respect of the Obligations shall bear interest from their respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at the Default Rate, compounded monthly. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate, compounded monthly, as of the date of occurrence of such Event of Default. Borrower shall pay such interest on demand.
2.8Late Charges. If Borrower is late in making any scheduled payment in respect of the Obligations by more than five (5) days, then Borrower agrees to pay a late charge of five percent (5%) of the payment due, but not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) for any one such delinquent payment. This late charge shall be charged by Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such delinquent amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Agreement and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that will be sustained by Lenders due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lenders and Agent to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.
2.9Lender’s Records. Principal, Basic Interest and all other sums owed under any Loan Document shall be evidenced by entries in records maintained by each Lender for such purpose. Each payment on and any other credits with respect to principal, Basic Interest and all other sums outstanding under any Loan Document shall be evidenced by entries in such records. Absent manifest error, each Lender’s records shall be conclusive evidence thereof.
2.10Grant of Security Interests; Filing of Financing Statements.
(a)To secure the timely payment and performance of all of Borrower’s Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, continuing security interests in all of the Collateral. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower authorizes Agent to prepare and file any financing
statements describing the Collateral. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect.
(b)In furtherance of Borrower’s grant of the security interests in the Collateral pursuant to Section 2.10(a) above, Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Closing Date or at any time thereafter following Agent’s request, the certificate or certificates for the Shares will be delivered to the Agent, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower, unless such Shares have not been certificated. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, Borrower shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Agent and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Agent or its transferee(s).

Except as provided in the following sentence, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would constitute a violation of any of the terms of this Agreement. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and Agent’s, at the direction of the Required Lenders, written notice to Borrower of Agent’s intent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement, including this Section 2.10(b).
(c)Borrower is and shall remain absolutely and unconditionally liable for the performance of its Obligations, including, without limitation, any deficiency by reason of the failure of the Collateral to satisfy all amounts due to each Lender under any of the Loan Documents.
2
(d)All Collateral pledged by Borrower under this Agreement and any Supplement shall secure the timely payment and performance of all Obligations. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Collateral pledged under this Agreement or any Supplement shall be released until such time as all Obligations have been satisfied and paid in full (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).
ARTICLE 3 – REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants that, except as set forth in the Supplement or the Schedule of Exceptions hereto, if any, as of the Closing Date and each Borrowing Date:

3.2Authorization, Validity and Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance of all Loan Documents executed by Borrower are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with Borrower’s certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws or operating agreement, as applicable, or the terms of any charter or other organizational document of Borrower, as amended from time to time; and all such Loan Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their terms (except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and subject to general principles of equity).
3.3Compliance with Applicable Laws. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports under the headings “Legal Proceedings”, Borrower has complied with all licensing, permit and fictitious name requirements necessary to lawfully conduct the business in which it is engaged, and to any sales, leases or the furnishing of services by Borrower, including without limitation those requiring consumer or other disclosures, the noncompliance with which would have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.4No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance by Borrower of all Loan Documents are not in conflict in any material respect with any law, rule, regulation, order or directive, or any indenture, agreement, or undertaking to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower may be bound or affected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the issuance of the Warrant and the grant of registration rights in connection therewith do not violate in any material respect any agreement or instrument by which Borrower is bound or require the consent of any holders of Borrower’s securities other than consents which have been obtained prior to the Closing Date.
3.5No Litigation, Claims or Proceedings. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports under the headings “Legal Proceedings”, there is no material litigation, tax claim, proceeding or dispute pending, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Borrower, its property or the conduct of its business.
3.6Correctness of Financial Statements. Borrower’s financial statements which have been delivered to Agent or any Lender or included in the SEC Reports fairly and accurately, in all material respects, reflect Borrower’s financial condition in accordance with GAAP as of the latest date of such financial statements; and, since the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the SEC Reports there has been no Material Adverse Change.

3.8Environmental Matters. To its knowledge after reasonable inquiry, Borrower has concluded that Borrower is in compliance with Environmental Laws, except to the extent a failure to be in such compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.10Full Disclosure. None of the representations or warranties made by Borrower in the Loan Documents as of the date such representations and warranties are made or deemed made, and none of the written statements contained in any exhibit, report or certificate furnished by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents (including disclosure materials delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to Lenders prior to the Closing Date or
3
pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof), taken as a whole together with the disclosures in the SEC Reports, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading as of the time when made or delivered.

(a)Title. Except for the security interests created by this Agreement and Permitted Liens, (i) Borrower is and will be the unconditional legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral, and (ii) the Collateral is genuine and subject to no Liens.

3.13Regulatory Compliance. Borrower has met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA.

Become required to be registered as an “investment company” or controlled by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or become principally engaged in, or undertake as one of its important activities, the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, or use the proceeds of any Loan for such purpose. Fail to meet the minimum funding requirements of ERISA, permit a Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction, as defined in ERISA, to occur, fail to comply with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act or violate any law or regulation, which violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the Collateral or the priority of Agent’s Lien on the Collateral, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do any of the foregoing.

The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to Deposit Accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified to Agent as such, so long as the aggregate amount maintained in all such accounts does not exceed the amount required to fund the then-next two (2) payroll cycles as at any time.
6.12Prepayment of Indebtedness. Prepay, redeem or otherwise satisfy in any manner prior to the scheduled repayment thereof any Indebtedness (other than the Loans and Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.1 hereof and to the extent permitted under Section 6.13 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and each Lender agrees that the conversion or exchange into Borrower’s equity securities of any Indebtedness (other than the Loans) shall not be prohibited by this Section 6.12.
6.13Repayment of Subordinated Debt. Repay, prepay, redeem or otherwise satisfy in any manner any Subordinated Debt, except in accordance with the terms of any subordination agreement among Borrower, Agent and the holder(s) of such Subordinated Debt.

cash in lieu of fractional shares shall not be prohibited by this Section 6.13.
6.14Subsidiaries.
(a)Acquire or create any Subsidiary, unless such Subsidiary becomes, at Agent and Required Lender’s option, either a co-borrower hereunder or executes and delivers to Agent one or more agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, containing a guaranty of the Obligations that is secured by first priority Liens on such Person’s assets, subject to Permitted Liens. For clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree that Agent and Required Lenders shall have the exclusive right to determine whether any such Person will be made a co-borrower hereunder or a guarantor of the Obligations. Prior to the acquisition or creation of any such Subsidiary, Borrower shall notify Agent thereof in writing, which notice shall contain the jurisdiction of such Person’s formation and include a description of such Person’s fully diluted capitalization and Borrower’s purpose for its acquisition or creation of such Subsidiary.
(b)Sell, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of Borrower’s ownership interest in any Subsidiary other than Permitted Liens.
(c)Cause or permit a Subsidiary to do any of the following: (i) grant Liens on such Subsidiary’s assets, except for Liens that would constitute Permitted Liens if incurred by Borrower and Liens on any property held or acquired by such Subsidiary in the ordinary course of its business securing Indebtedness incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the cost of acquiring such property; provided, that such Lien attaches solely to the property acquired with such Indebtedness and that the principal amount of such Indebtedness does not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of such property; and (ii) issue any additional Shares, except to Borrower or a wholly owned Subsidiary of Borrower.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.15 will not be applicable to Indebtedness otherwise permitted under Section 6.1(f) of this Agreement.
11

ARTICLE 7 - EVENTS OF DEFAULT
7.1Events of Default; Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the obligation of each Lender to make any additional Loan shall be suspended. The occurrence and continuation of any of the following (each, an “Event of Default”) shall at the option of Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders (1) make all sums of Basic Interest and principal, as well as any other Obligations and amounts owing under any Loan Documents, immediately due and payable without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor or any other notices or demands, (2) give Agent the right to apply the Default Rate to all outstanding Obligations as of the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, and (3) give Agent the right to exercise any other right or remedy provided by contract or applicable law:
(a)Borrower shall fail to pay any principal or interest under this Agreement or any Note, or fail to pay any fees or other charges when due under any Loan Document, and such failure continues for three (3) Business Days or more after the same first becomes due; or an Event of Default as defined in any other Loan Document shall have occurred (beyond any applicable notice, grace or cure period).
(b)Any representation or warranty made, or financial statement, certificate or other document provided by Borrower under any Loan Document shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made herein.
(c)If there occurs any circumstance or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d)(i) Borrower shall fail to pay its debts generally as they become due; or (ii) Borrower shall commence any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to itself, an involuntary Insolvency Proceeding shall be filed against Borrower, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other similar official, shall be appointed to take possession, custody or control of the properties of Borrower, and such involuntary Insolvency Proceeding, petition or appointment is acquiesced to by Borrower or is not dismissed within forty five (45) days; or (iii) the dissolution, winding up, or termination of the business or cessation of operations of Borrower (including any transaction or series of related transactions deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Borrower’s charter documents); or (iv) Borrower shall take any corporate action for the purpose of effecting, approving, or consenting to any of the foregoing.
(e)Borrower shall be in default beyond any applicable period of grace or cure under (i) any other agreement (other than the Ligand Royalty Agreement) involving the borrowing of money, the purchase of property, the advance of credit or any other monetary liability of any kind to any Lender or to any Person, in each case, in an amount in excess of the Threshold Amount or (ii) the Ligand Royalty Agreement and as a result of such default Ligand accelerates any outstanding indebtedness owing by Borrower thereunder or otherwise enforces its remedies against Borrower.
(f)Any governmental or regulatory authority shall take any judicial or administrative action, or any defined benefit pension plan maintained by Borrower shall have any unfunded liabilities, any of which, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(g)Any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower, including without limitation to any trust or similar entity, shall occur. For clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree that Transfers permitted under Section 6.5 of this Agreement shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(h)Any judgment(s) singly or in the aggregate in excess of the Threshold Amount shall be entered against Borrower which remain unsatisfied, unvacated or unstayed pending appeal for fifteen (15) or more days after entry thereof.
(i)Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any covenant contained in Article 6 of this Agreement.
12
(j)Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any covenant contained in Article 5 or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than a covenant which is dealt with specifically elsewhere in this Article 7) and, if capable of being cured, the breach of such covenant is not cured within ten (10) days after the sooner to occur of Borrower’s receipt of notice of such breach from Agent or the date on which such breach first becomes known to any officer of Borrower (the “Notice Date”); provided, however that if such breach is not capable of being cured within such 10-day period and Borrower timely notifies Agent of such fact and Borrower diligently pursues such cure, then the cure period shall be extended to the date requested in Borrower’s notice but in no event more than thirty (30) days from the Notice Date.
7.2Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall be entitled to exercise any or all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law, and exercise any or all of its rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Agent or any Lender upon, on account of, or in connection with, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
7.3Sale of Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, may sell all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sales, to itself, a wholesaler, retailer or investor, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as Agent or the Required Lenders may deem commercially reasonable. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption and any rights of stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any applicable law in effect from time to time. Any such public or private sales shall be held at such times and at such place(s) as Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, may determine and in full compliance with applicable law. In case of the sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to pay for the Collateral and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be
resold. Agent may, at the direction of the Required Lenders, instead of exercising its power of sale, proceed to enforce its security interest in the Collateral by seeking a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is in existence,
(1)Subject to the rights of any third parties, Agent may license, or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks included in the Collateral throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Required Lenders shall in their sole discretion determine;
(2)Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, may (without assuming any obligations or liability thereunder), at any time and from time to time, enforce against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of Borrower in, to and under any Copyright Licenses, Patent Licenses or Trademark Licenses and take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and Borrower hereby releases Agent and each Lender from, and agrees to hold Agent and each Lender free and harmless from and against any claims arising out of, any lawful action so taken or omitted to be taken with respect thereto other than claims arising out of Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and
(3)Upon request by Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, Borrower will execute and deliver to Agent a power of attorney, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent for the implementation of any lease, assignment, license, sublicense, grant of option, sale or other disposition of a Copyright, Patent or Trademark. In the event of any such disposition pursuant to this clause 3, Borrower shall supply its know-how and expertise relating to the products or services made or rendered in connection with Patents, the manufacture and sale of the products bearing Trademarks, and its customer lists and other records relating to such Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks and to the distribution of said products, to Agent.
(4)If, at any time when Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall determine to exercise the right to sell the whole or any part of the Shares hereunder, such Shares or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act (or any similar statute), then Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Shares or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under
13
such circumstances as Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Article 7, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event, Agent may, at the direction of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion (i) in accordance with applicable securities laws proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Shares or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Securities Act (or similar statute), (ii) approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (iii) restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an accredited investor under the Securities Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Shares or any part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Article 7, if any of the Shares shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Securities Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Article 7, then Agent shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:
(A)as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;
(B)as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Shares sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof;
(C)as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to such Person’s access to financial information about Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Shares so sold for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and
(D)as to such other matters as Agent may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Securities Act and all applicable state
securities laws.
(5)Borrower recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Shares and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (4) above. Borrower also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the applicable Subsidiary to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Borrower and/or the Subsidiary would agree to do so.
7.4Borrower’s Obligations upon Default. Upon the request of Agent, at the direction of Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower will:
(a)Assemble and make available to Agent the Collateral at such place(s) as Agent shall reasonably designate, segregating all Collateral so that each item is capable of identification; and
(b)Subject to the rights of any lessor, permit Agent, by Agent’s officers, employees, agents and representatives, to enter any premises where any Collateral is located, to take possession of the Collateral, to complete the processing, manufacture or repair of any Collateral, and to remove the Collateral, or to conduct any public or private sale of the Collateral, all without any liability of Agent or any Lender for rent or other compensation for the use of Borrower’s premises.
ARTICLE 8 - SPECIAL COLLATERAL PROVISIONS
8.1Compromise and Collection. Borrower and Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Rights to Payment; that certain of the Rights to Payment may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part; and that the expense and probability of success of litigating a disputed Right to Payment may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to such Right to Payment. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to compromise with the obligor, accept in full payment
14
of any Right to Payment such amount as Agent shall negotiate with the obligor, or abandon any Right to Payment. Any such action by Agent shall be considered commercially reasonable so long as the Required Lenders have made the determination in good faith based on information known to them at the time Agent takes any such action.
8.2Performance of Borrower’s Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower, Agent may, at the direction of the Required Lenders, perform or pay any obligation which Borrower has agreed to perform or pay under this Agreement solely to the extent Borrower has failed to so perform or pay in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, the payment or discharge of taxes or Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral. In so performing or paying, Agent and the Required Lenders shall determine the action to be taken and the amount necessary to discharge such obligations. Borrower shall reimburse Agent on demand for any amounts paid by Agent pursuant to this Section, which amounts shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate.
8.3Power of Attorney. For the purpose of protecting and preserving the Collateral and Agent’s rights under this Agreement, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent, with full power of substitution, as its attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: to do any act which Borrower is obligated to do hereunder; to exercise such rights with respect to the Collateral as Borrower might exercise; to use such Inventory, Equipment, Fixtures or other property as Borrower might use; to enter Borrower’s premises; to give notice of Agent’s security interest in, and to collect the Collateral; to execute and file in Borrower’s name any financing statements, amendments and continuation statements, Account Control Agreements or other Security Documents necessary or desirable to create, maintain, perfect or continue the perfection of Agent’s security interests in the Collateral. Borrower hereby ratifies all that Agent shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this appointment.
8.4Authorization for Agent to Take Certain Action. The power of attorney created in Section 8.3 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise such powers. Agent shall be accountable only for amounts
that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and in no event shall Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may exercise this power of attorney without notice to or assent of Borrower, in the name of Borrower, or in Agent’s own name, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion and at Borrower’s expense. To further carry out the terms of this Agreement, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, at the direction of the Required Lenders:
(a)Execute any statements or documents or take possession of, and endorse and collect and receive delivery or payment of, any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments and documents constituting Collateral, or constituting the payment of amounts due and to become due or any performance to be rendered with respect to the Collateral.
(b)Sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts; drafts, certificates and statements under any commercial or standby letter of credit relating to Collateral; assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts; or any other documents relating to the Collateral, including without limitation the Records.
(c)Use or operate Collateral or any other property of Borrower for the purpose of preserving or liquidating Collateral.
(d)File any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or as otherwise deemed appropriate by Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all monies due or securing any performance to be rendered with respect to the Collateral.
(e)Commence, prosecute or defend any suits, actions or proceedings or as otherwise deemed appropriate by Agent for the purpose of protecting or collecting the Collateral. In furtherance of this right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may apply for the appointment of a receiver or similar official to operate Borrower’s business.
(f)Prepare, adjust, execute, deliver and receive payment under insurance claims, and collect and receive payment of and endorse any instrument in payment of loss or returned premiums or any other
15
insurance refund or return, and apply such amounts at Agent’s sole discretion, toward repayment of the Obligations or replacement of the Collateral.
8.5Application of Proceeds. Any Proceeds and other monies or property received by Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Loan Document may be applied as follows:
(a)First, to Agent, the aggregate amount of all costs, expenses, indemnities and other amounts required to be reimbursed to Agent, in its capacity as such, until paid in full;
(b)Second, to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders (in accordance with the portion funded by each Lender), the aggregate amount of all Obligations arising on account of payments made by Agent in accordance with Section 8.2, until repaid in full;
(c)Third, to Lenders, ratably in accordance with principal amount of the Loans held by each Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate costs, expenses, indemnities or other amounts then required to be reimbursed to Lenders, until paid in full;
(d)Fourth, to Lenders, ratably in accordance with aggregate amount of any fees, premiums or similar payments due to each Lender in respect of the Loans held by such Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate fees, premiums or other similar such payments due to such Lender in respect of the Loans, until paid in full;
(e)Fifth, to Lenders, ratably in accordance with accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loans and the other Obligations due to each Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations then due, until paid in full;
(f)Sixth, to Lenders, ratably in accordance outstanding principal due to each Lender in respect of the Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate principal outstanding in respect of the Loans then due, until paid in full;
(g)Seventh, to Agent and each Lender, ratably in accordance with any other Obligations due to such Lender, an amount equal to all other Obligations due and payable to Agent and each Lender, until paid in full; and
(h)Last, the balance, if any, to Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable law.
8.6Deficiency. If the Proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such sale and the payment in full of all the Obligations, plus all other sums required to be expended or distributed by Agent to Lenders, then Borrower shall be liable for any such deficiency.
8.7Agent Transfer. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Obligations (subject in all respects to Borrower’s consent to such transfer in accordance with Sections 9.2), Agent may transfer all or part of the Collateral and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to such Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral so transferred, but with respect to any Collateral not so transferred, Agent shall retain all rights and powers hereby given.
8.8Agent’s Duties.
(a)Agent shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession. Without limitation on other conduct which may be considered the exercise of reasonable care, Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such Collateral if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property, it being understood that Agent shall not have any responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, declining value, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, regardless of whether Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters; or taking any necessary steps to preserve any rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral. Under no circumstances shall Agent be responsible for any injury or loss to the Collateral, or any part thereof, arising from any cause beyond the reasonable control of Agent unless such injury or loss results from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b)Agent may at any time deliver the Collateral or any part thereof to Borrower and the receipt of Borrower shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.
(c)Unless otherwise set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, neither Agent, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other person affiliated with or representing Agent shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or
16
suffered by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Agent, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other person affiliated with or representing Agent.
8.9Termination of Security Interests and Loan Documents. Upon the payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and satisfaction of all Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and if Lenders have no further obligations under their Commitment, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate, all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrower and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall terminate; provided that (i) those obligations, liabilities, covenants and terms that are expressly specified herein and in any other Loan Document as surviving that respective agreement’s termination, including without limitation, Borrower’s indemnity obligations set forth in this Agreement, shall continue to survive notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and (ii) nothing set forth herein shall affect or be deemed to affect those obligations, liabilities, covenants and terms set forth in any warrant instrument issued to a Lender’s parent company or set forth in any other equity securities or convertible debt securities of Borrower acquired by any Lender in connection with this Agreement. Upon any such termination, Agent shall return all Collateral in its possession or control to Borrower and, at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. In connection therewith, Borrower agrees to provide each Lender with such information as may be reasonably requested by such Lender as to whether the securities issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant issued in connection with this Agreement constitute “qualified small business stock” for purposes of Section 1202(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 18152.5 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
ARTICLE 9 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
9.1Notices. Any notice given by any party under any Loan Document shall be in writing and personally delivered, sent by overnight courier, or United States mail, postage prepaid, or sent by facsimile or electronic mail, or other authenticated message, charges prepaid, to the other party’s or parties’ addresses shown on the Supplement. Each party may change the address, facsimile number or email address to which notices, requests and other communications are to be sent by giving written notice of such change to each other party. Notice given by hand delivery shall be deemed received on the date
delivered; if sent by overnight courier, on the next Business Day after delivery to the courier service; if by first class mail, on the third Business Day after deposit in the U.S. Mail; and if by facsimile or electronic mail, on the date of transmission.
9.2Binding Effect. The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lenders, Agent and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer Borrower’s rights or obligations under any Loan Document. Each Lender reserves the right, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall assign any of such rights or obligations without Borrower’s prior written consent or to any competitor of Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing, any Lender may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to any Affiliate of such Lender. In connection with any of the foregoing, Lenders and Agent may disclose all documents and information which Lenders and Agent now or hereafter may have relating to the Loans, Borrower, or its business, provided that any Person who receives such information shall have agreed in writing in advance to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms no less favorable to Borrower than are set forth in Section 9.13 hereof.
9.3No Waiver. Any waiver, consent or approval by Agent and the Required Lenders of any Event of Default or breach of any provision, condition, or covenant of any Loan Document must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing and signed by Agent and the Required Lenders. No waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any later breach or default of the same or any other provision of any Loan Document. No failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in exercising any power, right, or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, or privilege shall preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or privilege. Agent and the Required Lenders have the right, at their sole option, to continue to accept interest and/or principal payments due under the Loan Documents after default, and such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of said default or an extension of the maturity of any Loan unless the Required Lenders agree otherwise in writing.
17
9.4Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any other rights or remedies available under contract or applicable law.
9.5Unenforceable Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document executed by Borrower which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall be so only as to such jurisdiction and only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, but all the remaining provisions of any such Loan Document shall remain valid and enforceable.
9.6Accounting Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, accounting terms and financial covenants and information shall be determined and prepared in accordance with GAAP.
9.7Indemnification; Exculpation.

Growth Capital Loans requested by Borrower to be made on a single Business Day shall be for a minimum aggregate, original principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), or such lesser amount as may be remaining to draw under the applicable tranche, and Borrower shall not submit a Borrowing Request more frequently than once per calendar month without Agent’s prior consent.
(a)Repayment of Growth Capital Loans. Principal of, and interest on, each Growth Capital Loan shall be payable as set forth in a Note evidencing such Growth Capital Loan (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”), which Note shall provide substantially as follows: principal shall be fully amortized over the Amortization Period in equal, monthly principal installments plus, in each case, unpaid interest thereon at the Designated Rate, commencing after the Interest-only Period of interest-only installments at the Designated Rate. In particular, on the Borrowing Date applicable to such Growth Capital Loan, Borrower shall pay to Agent (i) if the Borrowing Date is earlier than the Loan Commencement Date, interest only at the Designated Rate, in advance, on the outstanding principal balance of the Growth Capital Loan for the period from the Borrowing Date through the last day of the calendar month in which such Borrowing Date occurs (it being understood that this clause (i) shall not apply in the case the Borrowing Date is on the same date as the Loan Commencement Date), and (ii) the first (1st) interest-only installment at the Designated Rate, in advance, on the outstanding principal balance of the Note evidencing such Loan for the ensuing month. Commencing on the first day of the second full month after the Borrowing Date and continuing on the first day of each month during the Interest-only Period thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Agent interest only at the Designated Rate, in advance, on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan evidenced by such Note for the ensuing month. Commencing on the first day of the first full month after the end of the Interest-only Period, and continuing on the first day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Agent equal consecutive monthly principal installments in advance in an amount sufficient to fully amortize the Loan evidenced by such Note over the Amortization Period, plus interest at the Designated Rate for such month. On the Maturity Date, all principal and accrued interest then remaining unpaid and the Final Payment shall be due and payable.
3.Prepayment. The Growth Capital Loans may be prepaid as provided in this Section 3 only. Borrower may prepay all, but not less than all, outstanding Growth Capital Loans in whole, but not in part, at any time upon no less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent, by tendering to each Lender a cash payment in respect of such Loans in an amount determined by such Lender equal to the sum of: (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Loans; (ii) the accrued and unpaid interest on such Loans as of the date of prepayment; (iii) the Prepayment Fee, if any; and (iv) the Final Payment; provided that, if a Lender has not yet exercised its rights under Section 4(d) hereof, Borrower shall provide written notice of prepayment at least ten (10) days in advance of the proposed prepayment date and such Lender shall have the option, with respect to the Conversion Option, to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof by delivering written notice to Borrower at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the proposed prepayment date. If the Growth Capital Loans are prepaid on any day other than the first or last calendar day of a month, Lenders agree to refund to Borrower, or otherwise credit against the payoff amount owing by Borrower to Lenders, the amount of any interest paid in advance for days not yet elapsed during such month.
4.Warrant and Right to Invest; Conversion Option.
(a)Warrant. As additional consideration for the making of its Commitment, each Lender has earned and is entitled to receive immediately upon the execution of the Loan and Security Agreement and this Supplement, a warrant instrument issued by Borrower (the “Warrant”).
(b)Warrant General. The Warrant shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D”.
(c)Right to Invest. Lenders shall have the right, in their respective discretion, but not the obligation, to invest an aggregate amount of up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in equity securities of Borrower on the same terms, conditions, and pricing offered by Borrower to any investor existing at such time, in connection with any offering of Borrower’s equity securities after the Closing Date primarily for the purposes of raising capital; provided, however, (A) Borrower shall deliver written notice to Agent of any transaction involving Borrower’s equity securities at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the closing of such transaction; (B) the terms shall exclude a board or observer seat on the Borrower’s Board of Directors, which may be offered to other investors at Borrower’s
4
discretion, and any other terms that are not offered generally to all investors participating in such financing; and (C) any information provided to Agent or any Lender pursuant to clause (A) that constitutes material nonpublic information regarding Borrower shall be held in strict confidence by Agent and such Lender and shall not be disclosed to any third party or used as a basis to trade in Borrower’s securities, in each case until such information is publicly disclosed by Borrower or otherwise ceases to be material. This right shall terminate upon the repayment in full of the Indebtedness under the Loan and Security Agreement. This right to invest shall not apply to any offering in connection with: (i) any grant to an existing or prospective consultant, employee, officer, or director pursuant to any stock option agreement, employee stock purchase plan, or similar equity-based plan or compensation agreement; (ii) the conversion or exchange of any equity securities or convertible debt of the Borrower into other equity securities, or the exercise of any option, warrant, convertible note or other right to acquire such shares; (iii) any acquisition by the Borrower of the stock, assets, properties, or business of any person; (iv) any merger, consolidation, or other business combination involving the Borrower , or any other transaction or series of transactions resulting in a change of control; (v) any stock split, stock dividend, or similar recapitalization transaction; or (vi) any issuance in connection with a strategic relationship, including supplier, vendor or other service provider or business correspondent. If the placement agent or managing or lead underwriter for the offering advises the Borrower that the total number of securities and/or securities proposed to be allocated to Lenders exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering and/or that the total number of securities and/or securities proposed to be allocated to Lenders would adversely affect the price per share of the securities to be sold in such offering, the Borrower may reduce the number of securities to be allocated to Lenders; provided that any such reduction shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the securities proposed to be allocated to Lenders. Any such reduction shall be shared pro rata amongst the Lenders according to their respective commitments.
(d)Conversion Option. Lenders shall have the right, in their respective discretion, but not the obligation, at any time and from time to time, while the Loan is outstanding, to convert an aggregate amount of up to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) of the principal amount of the outstanding Growth Capital Loans (the “Conversion Option”) into Borrower’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a price per share equal to one hundred twenty percent (120.00%) of the Exercise Price set forth (and as defined) in the Warrant (the “Conversion Price;” the exercise of such Conversion Option, a “Conversion”). Any securities not issued in a registered transaction may bear an appropriate restrictive legend. The Conversion Option will be exercised by such Lender delivering a written, signed conversion notice to the Borrower in accordance with this Section 4(d) which will include (i) the date of which the conversion notice is given, (ii) a statement to the effect that such Lender is exercising the Conversion Option, (iii) the amount in respect of which the Conversion Option is being exercised and the number of shares issued and (iv) a date on which the allotment and issuance of the shares is to take place. In the event Borrower prepays the Loan in full pursuant to Section 3, Lenders shall have 10 days to elect to exercise the Conversion Option prior to such prepayment. The Conversion Option will not survive the expiration or other termination of the Loan and Security Agreement and shall otherwise terminate when the Loan is repaid in full.
(e)Conversion Limitations. Borrower shall not exercise the Conversion Option, and no Lender shall have the right to exercise the Conversion Option, and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable conversion notice, such Lender (together with such Lender’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Lender or any of such Lender’s Affiliates, the “Attribution Parties”) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by any Lender and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of common stock issuable upon such Lender’s exercise of the Conversion Option with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of common stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of any outstanding Growth Capital Loans beneficially owned by such Lender or any of its Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Lender or any of its Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(e) applies, the determination of whether any Lender can exercise the Conversion Option (in relation to other securities owned by such Lender together with any Attribution Parties) shall be in the sole discretion of Lender, and the submission of a conversion notice shall be deemed to be such Lender’s determination of whether such Lender may exercise the Conversion Option (in relation to other securities owned by such Lender together with any Attribution Parties) in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any
5
group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of common stock, Lenders may rely on the number of outstanding shares of common stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) Borrower’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by Borrower, or (iii) a more recent written notice by Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of any Lender, Borrower shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Lender the number of shares of common stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of common stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of Borrower, including the Conversion Option, by any Lender or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of common stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Option. By written notice to the Borrower, any Lender may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Borrower, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the applicable Lender delivering such notice.
(f)Maximum Issuance. Notwithstanding anything anywhere in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the aggregate number of shares issued pursuant to the Conversion Option, together with the shares of common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and any shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the Right to Invest, shall not exceed the aggregate number of shares of common stock which any Lender may receive pursuant to the terms of this Supplement without breaching Borrower’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Trading Market, including any stockholder approval requirement applicable to the aggregate issuance of shares of common stock in excess of the threshold specified by the applicable rules of the Principal Trading Market, except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that Borrower obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Trading Market for issuances of shares of common stock in excess of such amount or such approval is not required pursuant to the applicable rules of the Principal Trading Market.
5.Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to each Lender, pro-rata in accordance with each Lender’s respective Commitment, a commitment fee in the amount of one percent (1.00%) of the total Commitment of such Lender, due and payable on the Closing Date, of which Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) has been paid by Borrower to Agent, for the pro rata benefit of Lenders, as an advance deposit prior to the date hereof. As an additional condition precedent under Section 4.1 of the Loan and Security Agreement, each Lender shall have completed to its satisfaction its due diligence review of Borrower’s business and financial condition and prospects, and such Lender’s pro rata share of the Commitment shall have been approved. If this condition is not satisfied, the Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) advance deposit previously paid by Borrower shall be refunded. Except as set forth in this Section 4, the Commitment Fee is not refundable.
6.Documentation Fee Payment. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and Agent pursuant to Section 9.8(a) of the Loan and Security Agreement for (i) its reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents and (ii) Agent’s costs and filing fees related to perfection of its Liens in the Collateral in any United States jurisdiction in which the same is located, recording a copy of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and confirming the priority of such Liens.
