EXPLANATORY
NOTE
This
Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023 (the “Amended Report”)
filed by Envoy Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) amends and restates certain information included in the Company’s Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on November 17, 2023 (the “Original Report”).
As described in
the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 19, 2023, on December 14, 2023, the audit committee of
the board of directors of the Company, after considering the recommendations of management, concluded that the Company’s previously
issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Original Report should no longer be relied upon.
The determination relates to the Company’s interpretation of the accounting guidance applicable to the forward purchase agreement,
dated April 17, 2023, by and among the Company, Envoy Medical Corporation, Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, Meteora Capital Partners,
LP, Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP and Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (as amended to date, the “Forward Purchase
Agreement” or “FPA”).
The
Company is filing this Amended Report for the purpose of revising the accounting treatment of the FPA in its unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023, to reclassify the prepayment amount, previously recorded
as forward purchase agreement assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, to the equity section of the condensed consolidated
balance sheet with any remaining balance of the prepaid forward contract, including the in-substance written put option, maturity consideration
and the share consideration, classified as non-current liabilities in its condensed consolidated balance sheet in its financial statements
as of September 30, 2023, included in this Amended Report.
In connection
with the determinations described above, management of the Company has concluded that the error identified for restatement is consistent
with the existing material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that existed as of September 30,
2023. See additional discussion included in Part I – Item 4, “Controls and Procedures” of this Amended Report.

the convenience of the reader, this Amended Report sets forth the information in the Original Report in its entirety; however, only the

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation (restated)
Envoy
Medical, Inc. (“Envoy Medical” or the “Company”) is a hearing health company focused on providing innovative
medical technologies across the hearing loss spectrum. Envoy Medical’s technologies are designed to shift the paradigm within the
hearing industry and bring both providers and patients the hearing devices they desire. The Company’s first commercial product,
the Esteem, is a fully implanted active middle ear hearing device. The Esteem was approved for sale in 2010 by the United States Food
and Drug Administration (“FDA”).
Envoy
Medical believes the fully implanted Acclaim® Cochlear Implant is a first-of-its-kind cochlear implant. Envoy Medical’s fully
implanted technology includes a sensor designed to leverage the natural anatomy of the ear instead of a microphone to capture sound.
The Acclaim is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The
Acclaim will only be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician. The Acclaim Cochlear Implant
received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA in 2019.
On
September 29, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), a merger transaction between Envoy Medical Corporation (“Envoy”), Anzu
Special Acquisition Corp I (“Anzu”) and Envoy Merger Sub, Inc., a directly, wholly owned subsidiary of Anzu (“Merger
Sub”) was completed (the “Merger” or “Business Combination”, see Note 3) pursuant to the business combination
agreement, dated as of April 17, 2023 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”) . In connection with the closing
of the Merger (the “Closing”), Merger Sub merged with Envoy, with Envoy surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Anzu. In connection with the Closing, Anzu changed its name to Envoy Medical, Inc. The Company’s Class A common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (“New Envoy Class A Common Stock”), and the Company’s warrants commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on October 2, 2023 under the symbols “COCH” and “COCHW,” respectively.
On
April 17, 2023, prior to entering into the Business Combination Agreement, Anzu and Envoy entered into an agreement (as amended to date,
the “Forward Purchase Agreement” or “FPA”) with Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP (“MSOF”),
Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”) and Meteora Strategic
Capital, LLC (“MSC” and, collectively with MSOF, MCP and MSTO, the “Sellers” or “Meteora parties”)
for an over-the-counter equity prepaid forward transaction.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Sellers purchased 425,606 shares of New Envoy Class A Common
Stock (the “Recycled Shares”) directly from the redeeming stockholders of Anzu. Also on the Closing Date, the Company paid
to the Sellers a prepayment amount of $4.5 million required under the Forward Purchase Agreement directly from the trust account and
transferred to the Sellers 8,512 shares of New Envoy Class A Common Stock (the “Share Consideration”).
In
addition, pursuant to the subscription agreement, dated April 17, 2023 (as amended to date, the “Subscription Agreement”),
by and between Anzu and Anzu SPAC GP I LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Company issued, and certain affiliates of the Sponsor purchased,
concurrently with the Closing, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per
share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) in a private placement (the “PIPE Transaction”) at a price of $10.00 per share
for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million.
Pursuant
to the convertible promissory note, dated April 17, 2023, between Envoy and GAT Funding, LLC (as amended to date, the “Envoy Bridge
Note”), the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock to GAT Funding, LLC in exchange for
the conversion of the Envoy Bridge Note in full, concurrently with the Closing.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financials include the accounts of Envoy Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Envoy Medical
Corporation and Envoy Medical GmbH (Ansbach) (GmbH), which operates a sales office in Germany. All intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited
financial information
The
Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, they do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s
financial condition and results of operations have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results that might be expected for the full year. As such, the information included in this report should be read in conjunction
with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is included in the Company’s
final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated and filed with the SEC on September 14, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”),
which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, but does not include all the disclosures required by U.S.
GAAP.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in
the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is included in the
Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Restatement
On December 14,
2023, the audit committee of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company, after considering the recommendations of
management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included
in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023 should no longer be relied upon.
The determination relates to the Company’s interpretation of the accounting guidance applicable to the forward purchase agreement,
dated April 17, 2023, by and among the Company, Envoy Medical Corporation, Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, Meteora Capital Partners,
LP, Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP and Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (as amended to date, the “Forward Purchase
Agreement” or the “FPA”).
The Company reviewed
its prior interpretation of the accounting guidance applicable to certain elements of the FPA and determined the prepayment amount of
$2.4 million, previously recorded as forward purchase agreement assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, should be reclassified
to the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and the remaining liability balance associated with the FPA, including
the the in-substance put option and maturity consideration n, should be reflected as non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated
balance sheet.
In
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the Company
also evaluated the materiality of the errors to the Company’s previously filed financial statements for the third quarter of 2023.
Considering both quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company determined that the related impact was material to the previously
filed condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, and restated and reissued these
financial statements.
Description
of error corrected:
The
previously reported Forward purchase agreement assets included a prepayment amount, as described above and in Note 3, Merger,
which was incorrectly classified as an asset instead of as an equity transaction. Additionally, the remaining balance of the prepaid
forward contract, including the in-substance written put option (“FPA put option liability”) and maturity consideration
was incorrectly netted with the prepayment amount and presented as a net asset, instead of being separately presented as a
liability. These errors impacted the Forward purchase agreement assets, the FPA put option liability, the Forward purchase agreement
warrant liability and Additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated equity
statement as of September 30, 2023, as well as the related disclosure within Note 4, Fair Value Measurement.
The
effect of the correction of the error noted above on the relevant financial statement line items is as follows:

The
change in accounting and related restatement for the FPA did not have any impact on the condensed consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the condensed consolidated statements
of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, or net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders per share
calculations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. As well, there was no impact on the condensed consolidated
balance sheet or condensed consolidated equity statement for any prior reporting periods.
Revision
of Prior Period Financial Statements of Envoy
During
its financial close process for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company discovered an error in Envoy’s
accounting for convertible notes payable (related party) as of June 30, 2023. The convertible notes payable (related party) consists
of convertible notes issued between 2012 and 2022 (the “Convertible Notes”) and the Envoy Bridge Note. When calculating the
fair value of the Convertible Notes as of June 30, 2023, Envoy used an incorrect input in the valuation model related to the Convertible
Notes settlement value upon a Merger with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”). Specifically, the Business Combination
Agreement includes the assumed exchange ratio of Envoy common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Envoy Common Stock”) to
New Envoy Class A Common Stock. The Business Combination Agreement also contains a provision that removed the holders’ right to
redeem the Convertible Notes for its full principal and interest value upon the Closing, and instead forced the holders to convert the
Convertible Notes into shares of Envoy Common Stock at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share, prior to the exchange into New Envoy Class
A Common Stock. This assumed exchange ratio, the value of underlying Company stock, and the removal of the loan holders’ redemption
right was not included under the SPAC scenario in the valuation model used to calculate the fair value of Convertible Notes as of June
30, 2023. The initial calculation calculated a fair value of approximately $51.4 million whereas the updated calculation, calculated
a fair value of approximately $36.8 million, which results in a difference of approximately $14.6 million.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three months ended June 30, 2023, has been
revised to treat the Convertible Notes amendment, as described above, as an extinguishment of debt with a related party. As such, the
impact of the amendment has been recorded as an additional deemed capital contribution from a related party on the revised unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.
The
revision resulted in a downward adjustment of previously reported convertible notes payable (related party) of $14.6 million and an upward
adjustment of $14.7 million in additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated
statements of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) as of June 30, 2023, and an increase in
the loss from change in the fair value of convertible notes payable (related party) of $91 thousand for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2023 included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
The
Company also reassessed the components of cost of goods sold and determined that the costs related to the Acclaim product development
and manufacturing of research and development (“R&D”) prototype parts for testing, validations and clinical trials should
be classified as R&D expenses. Accordingly, $0.3 million of expenses previously included in the cost of goods sold have been reclassified
to research and development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This reclassification did not impact net income.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going
Concern
Since
inception, the Company has incurred cumulative losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $251.0 million at September 30,
2023. The Company has funded its operations and capital needs primarily through net proceeds from the issuances of convertible debt (see
Note 9) and the sale of Envoy redeemable convertible preferred stock. In September 2023, the Company received $11.7 million proceeds
from the Business Combination, Forward Purchase Agreement, and the PIPE Transaction, net of transaction costs. The Company had cash of
$7.4 million as of September 30, 2023.
Management
believes that its existing cash balances combined with future capital raises, and cash receipts from product sales will be sufficient
to fund ongoing operations through at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its strategic plans, that the Company’s cash
balances and future capital raises will be sufficient to support its ongoing operations, or that any additional financing will be available
in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient financing when needed or events or
circumstances occur such that the Company does not meet its strategic plans, the Company may be required to reduce certain discretionary
spending, be unable to develop new or enhanced production methods, or be unable to fund capital expenditures, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business
objectives. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments
to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include but are not limited to the useful lives of property and equipment, inventory reserves, warranty liability, the fair value of
common stock, the fair value of convertible notes payable, the fair value of forward purchase agreement assets, the fair value of forward
purchase agreement warrant liability, the fair value of warrants and the outcome of litigation. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed
periodically and the effect of changes, if any, are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
income (loss).
Concentration
of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial
instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable, net.
Periodically, the Company maintains deposits in accredited financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company
maintains its cash with financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Company has not experienced
any losses on such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with
commercial banking relationships.
With
respect to accounts receivable, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. There have
been no material losses on accounts receivable. There were no customers that accounted for 10.0% or more of sales for the nine months
ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. There were no customers that accounted for 10.0% or more of the accounts
receivable balance as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Cash
and Restricted Cash
The
Company maintains cash balances in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Restricted cash is cash the Company
holds for specific reasons and is not available for immediate use.
Fair
Value Measurement
The
Company determines the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Topic 820, Fair
Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing
the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
The hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
| ● | Level
1 — Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
| ● | Level
2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level
3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value
of the assets or liabilities. |
A
financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the
fair value measurement. The Company elected the fair value option for the convertible notes payable (related party) under ASC Topic 825,
Financial Instruments, with changes in fair value recorded in income (loss) from changes in fair value of convertible notes payable
(related party) each reporting period. The convertible notes payable (related party) consists of convertible notes issued between 2012
and 2022 (“Convertible Notes”) and the Envoy Bridge Note. The Company’s forward purchase agreement asset, forward purchase
agreement warrant liability, and warrant liability (related party) are also Level 3 financial instruments at fair value and are described
below (see Note 2 and Note 4).
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign-currency risks. The Company evaluates
its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in
accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as
liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting
date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income
(loss). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity,
is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets
as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months
of the balance sheet date.
The
Company accounts for its warrant liability in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments
as a liability at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The warrant liability is subject to
re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The
Company accounts for its Forward Purchase Agreement in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the forward purchase
agreement asset and the forward purchase agreement warrant liability at fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject
to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Warrant
Liability (Related Party)
The
Company classifies certain warrants issued to stockholders to purchase Envoy Common Stock (see Note 10) as a liability on its condensed
consolidated balance sheets as these warrants are a free-standing financial instrument that may require the Company to transfer assets
upon exercise. The warrant liability was initially recorded at fair value upon the date of issuance and is subsequently remeasured to
fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the warrant liability are recognized in the Company’s unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the fair value of the warrant liability will
continue to be recognized until the warrants are exercised, expire or qualify for equity classification.
SPAC
Excise Tax Liability
The
Company recognizes excise tax as an incremental cost to repurchase the treasury shares, with an offsetting tax liability recognized.
The SPAC excise tax liability was recorded in accrued expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a five-step
model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows:
| ● | Identify
the contract with a customer |
| ● | Identify
the performance obligations in the contract |
| ● | Determine
the transaction price |
| ● | Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
| ● | Recognize
revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied |
Revenue
is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs as control of the promised
products or services is transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in
exchange for transferring products or services to a customer (“transaction price”). To the extent the transaction price includes
variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using
either the expected value or most likely amount method. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s
judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable
consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of
the Company’s anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available.
The
Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of its hearing device products. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer
of control of the product to a customer, which occurs at a point in time, at the time the Company is notified the product has been implanted
or used by the customer in a surgical procedure. The Company also sells extended warranty plans on a limited basis. Revenue from extended
warranty plans is recognized ratably over time and is immaterial. Amounts received from a customer prior to fulfillment of the performance
obligation are included as accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are immaterial as of September 30, 2023
and December 31, 2022. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities performed as activities to fulfill the
promise to transfer the products, and therefore these activities are not assessed as a separate performance obligation to its customers.
Revenue
is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive, which is based on the invoiced price. The majority of the
Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation and are short term in nature. The Company’s contracts do not include
variable consideration.
Payment
terms differ by geography and customer, but payment is generally required within 30 days from the date of product utilization. The Company
also offers extended payment plans on a limited basis. Amounts due to the Company under payment plans that extend beyond 12 months are
immaterial as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, therefore the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration
for the effects of a significant financing component.
Segments
Operating
segments are identified as components of enterprise about which discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief
operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that
its CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for
the purposes of making decisions, allocating resources and evaluating performance. Consequently, the Company has determined it operates
in one operating and reportable segment.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU No 2016-13”).
This guidance introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected
credit losses. The Company adopted Topic 326 with an adoption date of January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach. As a
result, the Company changed its accounting policy for allowance for credit losses. The Company monitors accounts receivables and estimates
the allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. Estimates of expected credit losses are based on historical collection experience
and other factors, including those related to current market conditions and events. The adoption did not have a material effect on the
Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other
than the item noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that have
a significant impact, or potential significant impact, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The
fair values of the FPA put option liability and the forward purchase agreement warrant liability were estimated using Monte Carlo Simulation
models, which are Level 3 fair value measurement. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value
measurements of the forward purchase agreement assets and forward purchase agreement warrant liability:
| |
September 30, 2023 | |
Stock price | |
$ | 5.64 | |
Initial exercise price | |
| 10.46 | |
Remaining term (in years) | |
| 1.00 | |
Risk-free rate | |
| 5.32 | % |
The
fair value of the Convertible Notes was based on a probability-weighted expected return model (“PWERM”), which is a Level
3 measurement. The valuation includes significant assumptions such as the discount rate, the fair value of the Company’s common
stock, volatility, probability of the Convertible Notes being held to maturity, the probabilities of certain exit events, including a
qualified financing, initial public offering or merger with a SPAC, and estimated recovery in the event of default.
The
significant inputs that were used in the valuation of the Convertible Notes are presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| |
December 31, 2022 | |
Share price | |
$ | 0.33 | |
Discount rate | |
| 14.8 | % |
Volatility | |
| 91.0 | % |
Probability of qualified financing | |
| 5.0 | % |
Probability of SPAC/IPO | |
| 25.0 | % |
Probability of default | |
| 60.0 | % |
Probability of held to maturity | |
| 10.0 | % |
Recovery upon default (2012 and 2013 Convertible Notes) | |
$ | 10,000 | |
Significant
judgment is required in selecting the inputs. On December 31, 2022, an evaluation was performed to assess those inputs and general market
conditions potentially affecting the fair value of the Convertible Notes. Should the probability of default increase or decrease by 5.0%,
the fair value of the Convertible Notes on December 31, 2022 could decrease or increase by $2.6 million, respectively. Should the discount
rate increase or decrease by 5.0%, the fair value of the Convertible Notes could decrease by $1.5 million or increase by $1.6 million,
respectively. The fair value of the Convertible Notes is subject to variation should the expected future cash flows vary significantly
from the estimates.
Effective
concurrently with the Merger, the outstanding balance of principal and accrued interest of the Convertible Notes was automatically converted
into New Envoy Class A Common Stock and the outstanding balance of principal and accrued interest of the Envoy Bridge Note was converted
into Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 3). As such, the Convertible Notes and Envoy Bridge Note were derecognized from the condensed
consolidated balance sheet. Immediately prior to the Merger, the fair value of the Convertible Notes was calculated by the multiplying
the amount of New Envoy Class A Common Stock the Convertible Notes converted into by the fair value of these shares. The fair value of
the New Envoy Class A Common Stock was based on the listed prices for the shares, immediately prior to the Merger. Immediately prior
to the Merger, the fair value of the Envoy Bridge Note was calculated by multiplying the amount of Series A Preferred Stock the Envoy
Bridge Note converted into, by the fair value of these shares. The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock was estimated using a Monte
Carlo Simulation model, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding
Level 3 fair value measurements of the Series A Preferred Stock, which was valued at $10.98 per share.

Expected volatility | |
| 48.9 | % |
The
Company has classified the warrant liability within Level 1 of the hierarchy as the warrant liability is separately listed and traded
in an active market. The warrant liability’s listed price in an active market was used as the fair value.
The
Company has classified the warrants (related party) within Level 3 of the hierarchy as the fair value is derived using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model, which uses a combination of observable (Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3) inputs. Key estimates and assumptions
impacting the fair value measurement include (i) the expected term of the warrants, (ii) the risk-free interest rate, (iii) the
expected dividend yield and (iv) expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock. The Company estimated the fair
value per share of the underlying common stock based, in part, on the results of third-party valuations and additional factors deemed
relevant. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal
to the remaining contractual term of the warrants. The Company estimated a 0% expected dividend yield as of December 31, 2022, based
on the fact that prior to the Business Combination, the Company had never paid or declared dividends and did not intend to do so in the
foreseeable future. Prior to the Business Combination, the Company was a private company and lacked company-specific historical and implied
volatility information of its stock, and as such, the expected stock volatility was based on the historical volatility of publicly traded
peer companies for a term equal to the remaining expected term of the warrants.

battery life of 5 years, inflationary increase of 3.6%, and an average patient life calculated based on probabilities outlined in the
PRI-2012 mortality tables, published from the Society of Actuaries. Additionally, a discount rate of 5.0% was used in the calculation
as of September 30, 2023.
9. Convertible Notes Payable (Related Party)
The
Company received several loan financings from stockholders from 2012 to 2023, in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $59.7 million
as of December 31, 2022. The Company elected the fair value option for the Convertible Notes and the Envoy Bridge Note under ASC Topic
825, Financial Instruments, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings each reporting period. The Convertible Notes and Envoy
Bridge Note do not include any financial covenants and are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of specified events of default.
The terms of the Convertible Notes and the Envoy Bridge Note are described below.
2012
Convertible Note
In
2012, the Company issued a convertible note to a stockholder (“2012 Convertible Note”), which was subsequently amended and
restated. These amendments allowed for the issuance of additional principal under the existing agreements and resulted in various drawdowns
since 2012. In March 2021, the 2012 Convertible Note agreement was amended and restated to allow for an additional draw of $10.0 million.
The March 2021 amendment also extended the maturity date of both the existing debt and any future draws to December 31, 2025. In June
2022, the 2012 Convertible Note agreement was amended and restated to allow for an additional draw of $10.0 million. These amendments
were accounted for as debt modifications. On April 17, 2023, the drawdowns that were made in 2023 with an aggregate principal amount
of $4.0 million were transferred to another convertible note with the same stockholder, refer to the Envoy Bridge Note disclosure below.
The
outstanding principal amount of the 2012 Convertible Note was $59.0 million as of December 31, 2022. Undrawn principal under the arrangement
amounted to $5.0 million as December 31, 2022. The 2012 Convertible Note would have matured on December 31, 2025, and was classified
as a long-term liability as of December 31, 2022. The 2012 Convertible Note bore interest at 4.5% per annum. The 2012 Convertible Note
was secured by the Company’s assets. The Company granted detachable common stock warrants to the stockholder in connection with
the 2012 Convertible Note (see Note 10).
At
any time prior to maturity, at the sole discretion of the noteholder, the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest
may have been converted into shares of Envoy Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, subject to various adjustments as
defined in the 2012 Convertible Note agreement.
In
the event that the Company obtained additional equity financing pursuant to which the Company sold shares of either common or preferred
stock, at the sole discretion of the stockholder, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest would convert to the class of
stock being offered in the financing at a price per share equal to 80% of the price per share paid by investors for the offered shares.
On
April 17, 2023, the 2012 Convertible Note was amended as part of the Business Combination Agreement, to provide for automatic conversion
immediately prior to the Merger. The conversion formula was not adjusted as part of this amendment. The loan amendment was accounted
for as an extinguishment with a related party and treated as a deemed capital contribution.
Effective
concurrently with the Merger, the outstanding balance of principal and any unpaid accrued interest was automatically converted into New
Envoy Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $15.72 per share (see Note 3) and the fair value of the 2012 Convertible Notes was
derecognized from the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
2013
Convertible Notes
In
2013, the Company issued convertible notes to various stockholders (“2013 Convertible Notes”), which were subsequently amended
and restated. The outstanding principal amount of these notes was $0.7 million as of December 31, 2022. The 2013 Convertible Notes mature
on December 31, 2023, and were classified as current liabilities as of December 31, 2022. The 2013 Convertible Notes bore interest at
4.5% per annum. The 2013 Convertible Notes were secured by the Company’s assets. The Company granted detachable common stock warrants
to the noteholders in connection with the issuance of the 2013 Convertible Notes (see Note 10). The 2013 Convertible Notes were subordinated
to the 2012 Convertible Note and included the same conversion features as the 2012 Convertible Note. In addition, in the event the Company
completed an equity financing in which it sold a minimum of $2,500,000 of new stock, at the sole discretion of the Company, the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest would convert into Envoy Common Stock at $1.00 per share. If the effective conversion price was
less than $1.00, the price per share shall be equal to 80% of the price per share paid by the other investors.
On
April 17, 2023, the 2013 Convertible Notes were amended as part of the Business Combination Agreement to provide for automatic conversion
immediately prior to the Merger. The conversion formula was not adjusted as part of this amendment. The loan amendment was accounted
for as an extinguishment with a related party and treated as a deemed capital contribution.
Effective
concurrently with the Merger, the outstanding balance of principal and any unpaid accrued interest was automatically converted into New
Envoy Class A Common stock at a conversion price of $15.72 per share and the fair value of the 2013 Convertible Notes was derecognized
from the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 3).
Envoy
Bridge Note (“2023 Convertible Note”)
On
April 17, 2023, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement with a stockholder for an aggregate borrowing capacity
of $10.0 million, an interest rate of 4.5% per annum and maturity date of December 31, 2025. The Envoy Bridge Note was unsecured. According
to this agreement, $4.0 million of the borrowing capacity was funded via the transfer of $4.0 million in principal from the 2012 Convertible
Note. An additional $3.0 million was drawn upon during the second quarter of 2023 and $3.0 million was drawn upon during the third quarter
of 2023. The transfer of $4.0 million in principal from the 2012 Convertible Note to the Envoy Bridge Note was accounted for as a debt
modification.
The
difference between the proceeds received and the issuance-date fair value was recorded as a deemed capital contribution from related
party in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit).
The
Company could have prepaid the Envoy Bridge Note in whole or in part without premium or penalty. Contingent upon, and effective concurrently
with the Merger, the outstanding balance of principal and any unpaid accrued interest, automatically converted to Series A Preferred
Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share.
If
the Business Combination Agreement terminated pursuant to its terms, at the sole discretion of the noteholder, the outstanding principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest could have been converted into shares of Envoy Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per
share, subject to various adjustments as defined in the agreement.
If
the Business Combination Agreement terminated pursuant to its terms and in the event that the Company obtained additional equity financing
pursuant to which the Company sold shares of either common or preferred stock, at the sole discretion of the noteholder, the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest would have converted to the class of stock being offered in the financing at a price per share
equal to 80% of the price per share paid by investors for the offered shares.
On
August 23, 2023, the Envoy Bridge Note was amended pursuant to which the Company could have drawn an additional $5.0 million if the Company
had less than $5.0 million in cash or net tangible assets immediately following the Merger. In addition, the Company could have drawn
up to $2.0 million if the Merger did not occur by September 30, 2023.
Effective
concurrently with the Merger, the outstanding balance of principal and any unpaid accrued interest, was automatically converted to Series
A Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share and the fair value of the Envoy Bridge Note was derecognized from the condensed
consolidated balance sheets.
10. Common Stock
As
of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was authorized to issue 400,000,000 shares of New Envoy Class A Common Stock
and 232,000,000 shares of Envoy Common Stock, respectively. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Company’s
stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 11).
Contingent
Sponsor Shares
Pursuant
to the Sponsor Support Agreement, 1,000,000 shares of New Envoy Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor shall be unvested and subject
to the restrictions and forfeiture provisions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Contingent Sponsor Shares”).
The Contingent Sponsor Shares shall vest upon the United States Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the Company’s
Acclaim cochlear implant device (the “FDA Approval”). If a change of control of the Company shall occur following the Closing,
then the conditions for vesting of any Contingent Sponsor Shares that remain unvested as of immediately prior to the consummation of
the change of control shall be deemed to have been achieved and such Contingent Sponsor Shares shall immediately vest as of immediately
prior to the consummation of such change of control.
The
Contingent Sponsor Shares meets the definition of a derivative, but meets the criteria to be considered indexed to the Company’s
stock and the equity-classification criteria. Accordingly, the Contingent Sponsor Shares are classified as permanent equity.
Common
Stock Warrants (Related Party)
Between
November 2013 and July 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of Envoy Common Stock to stockholders in connection with
the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the issuance of Envoy Preferred Stock.
In
July 2022, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 1,150,000 shares of Envoy Common Stock to one stockholder in connection with the
2012 Convertible Note (see Note 9). Upon issuance, the holder’s exercise of the warrants was conditioned on the Company increasing
its authorized shares. As there were insufficient authorized shares available at the time of issuance, the warrant was classified as
a liability and measured at fair value as of December 31, 2022. The Company incurred an expense of $0.1 million upon the issuance of
the warrant and $0.1 million for the change in the fair value of the warrant liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
On
April 17, 2023, the common stock warrants were amended to provide for automatic cashless exercise or cancellation of the warrants immediately
prior to the Merger. On September 29, 2023, the warrants were canceled or converted on a net exercise basis into shares of New Envoy
Class A Common Stock. Out of the 8,695,000 warrants outstanding prior to the Merger, 70,000 were converted into 2,702 shares of New Envoy
Class A Common Stock. Out of the remaining 8,625,000 warrants that were forfeited as part of the Business Combination, 1,150,000 were
classified as a liability in the Company’s historical financial statements. The forfeiture of the liability classified warrants
was recorded as a gain of $0.2 million in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
There were no outstanding
common stock warrants (related party) as of September 30, 2023. The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding common

11. Series A Preferred Stock
As of September 30, 2023,
the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated, authorized the Company to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.0001
par value preferred stock, of which 10,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock.
Pursuant to the Envoy Bridge
Note, the Sponsor Support Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock (see Note 3) as of September 30, 2023.
Pursuant to the Subscription
Agreement and the Envoy Bridge Note, the Sponsor and GAT Funding, LLC each contributed additional $1.0 million capital contribution to
subscribe for additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $10.00 per share in order to meet the net tangible assets requirement
under the Business Combination Agreement (see Note 3). As of September 30, 2023, the Sponsor’s contribution is classified
as other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The holders of the Series
A Preferred Stock has the following rights and preferences:
Voting rights
The holders of the Series
A Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders, except in the case that the Company creates
any equity or debt instrument that ranks senior or pari passu to the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or in the case of any adverse
change to the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Conversion rights
Each share of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance into such number of shares of New Envoy
Class A Common Stock as determined by dividing the issuance price of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock of $10.00, by the conversion
price, which was $11.50 per share as of September 30, 2023 and is adjustable for certain dilutive events.
At any time from and after
90 days following the Merger, if the closing price per share of New Envoy Class A Common Stock is greater than $15.00 for any twenty trading
days within a period of thirty trading days, the Company may elect, in its discretion, to convert all, but not less than all, of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of New Envoy Class A Common Stock. In this case, each share of Series A Preferred
Stock then outstanding shall be converted into the number of shares of New Envoy Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of i) $10.00
divided by ii) $15.00.
Redemption
The holders of Series A Preferred
Stock are not entitled to any redemption rights, other than those under their liquidation rights discussed below. The Company does not
have the option to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock.
Dividend Rights
The holders of Series A Preferred
Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend which accrues at the rate of 12% of the original issuance price of $10.00 per annum. The dividend
accrues on a daily basis from and including the issuance date of such shares, whether or not declared, and will be payable in cash on
a quarterly basis. With respect to the first four (4) dividends, the Company shall maintain the funds allocated for such dividends in
a separate account. If the Company fails to pay the dividends on the dividend payment date, then an additional dividend on the amount
of the unpaid portion shall automatically accrue at 12%.
There were no dividends declared
as of September 30, 2023. As the Company is required to maintain the funds allocated for the first four dividend payments in a separate
account, $5.4 million of the Company’s cash has been reclassed to restricted cash (see Note 5).
Pursuant to the Sponsor Support
Agreement, any dividends arising shall accrue and not require timely payment at any time when the Company has less than $10 million of
net tangible assets.
Liquidation preference
In the event of any liquidation,
deemed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock
is entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders
of any security of the Company that ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, including, but not limited to, the New Envoy Class A
Common Stock, an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the greater of i) $10.00 plus any unpaid cash dividends and ii)
the amount the holder would have received, would such holder, immediately prior to such involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of Company, converted such share of Series A Preferred Stock into New Envoy Class A Common Stock.
12. Stock Options
The Company had a stock incentive
plan (the “2003 Stock Option Plan”) that provided for the granting of stock options or other stock incentives to employees,
officers, directors and consultants. The 2003 Stock Option Plan was administered by the Board, or a committee designated by the Board,
which determined the persons who were to receive awards under the 2003 Stock Option Plan, the number of shares subject to each award and
the term and exercise price of each award. The maximum term of options granted under the 2003 Stock Option Plan was ten years. The number
of shares of Envoy Common Stock authorized to be issued was 6,400,000 under the 2003 Stock Option Plan.
In March 2013, the Company
and its stockholders adopted a new plan (the “2013 Stock Option Plan”) on substantially the same terms and conditions of the
2003 Stock Option Plan. The Company and its stockholders reserved a total of 7,000,000 shares of Envoy Common Stock for issuance under
the 2013 Stock Option Plan and reduced the number of shares of Envoy Common Stock available for issuance under the 2003 Stock Option Plan
from 6,400,000 to 552,000. As of April 2013, the 2003 Stock Option Plan expired and no further stock options or shares may be granted
under that plan.
On April 17, 2023, the Company
and the stock option holders agreed that the stock options will be cancelled and terminated for no consideration upon the Merger.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes
option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options. No stock options were granted during the nine months ended September
30, 2023 and 2022.
Immediately before the Merger
and as of December 31, 2022, all stock options outstanding were fully vested and there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense
related to nonvested awards. Upon the Merger, the stock options were cancelled and terminated for nominal consideration.
The following table summarizes
the Company’s stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
| |
Options | | |
Weighted-average Exercise Price per Option | | |
Weighted-average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) | | |

| - | | |

| n/a | |
The aggregate intrinsic value
of stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2022 is zero because the fair value of the underlying Envoy Common Stock was less than
the exercise price for all options as of each date.
13. Related Party Transactions
The Company leases its headquarters
office space in Minnesota from a stockholder, which is considered a related party (see Note 7). The lease is considered a common control
leasing arrangement. The lease liability due to the stockholder was approximately $0.6 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31,
2022. The rent expense was immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
The Company received several
loan financings from stockholders between 2012 to 2023 (see Note 9).
The Company recorded a payable
to related party of $4.0 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 5).
14. Commitment and Contingencies
The Company is party to various
litigation matters arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In January 2020, the Company’s controlling stockholder
and convertible debt holder, along with current and former directors of the Company were named in a lawsuit brought by minority stockholders
(the “Spearman Plaintiffs”). This lawsuit alleges our controlling stockholder of “self-dealing” in order to obtain
control of the Company. In February 2020, there was a similar lawsuit referring to and citing the first lawsuit brought up by additional
minority stockholders alleging our controlling stockholder and directors of similar wrong-doings. The February 2020 lawsuit was withdrawn
in 2021. In June 2023, the Company received an additional complaint from additional stockholders affiliated or associated with the Spearman
Plaintiffs, raising claims that were substantially the same as the claims raised in the existing litigation.
On August 25, 2023, the Company
entered into a binding agreement in principle to settle all claims and counterclaims in the lawsuit. On September 15, 2023, the parties
entered into a binding settlement agreement. The settlement agreement includes a transfer of all of the plaintiff’s stockholdings
in Envoy to an entity affiliated with the majority stockholder of the Company, which was completed on September 28, 2023. The settlement
agreement did not require any payment to be made by the Company.
The Company has business
liability insurance to cover litigation costs exceeding $50 thousand. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has
not recorded accruals for potential losses related to any existing or pending litigation claims as the Company’s management determined
that there are no matters where a potential loss is probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company’s potentially
dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss
per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of shares of New Envoy Class A Common Stock outstanding used to calculate both basic
and diluted net loss per share attributable to stockholders of New Envoy Class A Common Stock is the same. The Company excluded the following
potential shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable
to stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

16. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated
all events occurring through November 17, 2023, the date on which these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued,
and during which time, nothing has occurred outside the normal course of business operations that would require disclosure, except for
the following:
Stock Options
On October 15, 2023, the
Company granted 1,938,409 stock options to certain employees and directors with an exercise price of $2.40 per share, out of which, 720,505
stock options were fully unvested on the grant date. For any employee or director that received stock options that are fully unvested
on the grant date, the vesting conditions are that one-fourth (25%) of these stock options shall vest on the first anniversary of the
grant date and the remaining portion (75%) of these stock options shall be vested ratably, on a monthly basis, over a 36-month vesting
period. For any employee or director that received stock options that are 25%, 50% or 75% vested on the grant date based on service period,
the vesting conditions are that the stock options shall vest ratably, on a monthly basis, over a 36-month vesting period.
Litigation
On November 14, 2023, Atlas
Merchant Capital SPAC Fund I LP (the “Plaintiff”), a stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint (the “Complaint”)
against Daniel Hirsch, Whitney Haring-Smith, the Sponsor and the Company, as successor to ANZU Special Acquisition Corp. I, (collectively,
the “Defendants”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Complaint alleges a claim for breach of Anzu’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Anzu Charter”) against the Company, a claim for breach of fiduciary
duty against Mr. Hirsch, Dr. Haring-Smith and the Sponsor and claims for unjust enrichment, fraudulent misrepresentation and tortious
interference with economic relations against the Defendants. The Complaint alleges that, among other things, after the Plaintiff submitted
a redemption request for its shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held
on September 27, 2023, Plaintiff thereafter withdrew its redemption request, then Defendants declined to honor Plaintiff’s request
to reinstate its redemption election because the request to reinstate its redemption election occurred after the redemption deadline of
September 25, 2023.
The Complaint seeks specific
performance to compel the Defendants to honor Atlas’ redemption request, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses. The
Company believes the claims asserted in the Complaint to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the litigation. At this time
the Company does not believe that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and it is not possible to predict the outcome of the proceeding
or its impact on the Company.

Overview
We are a hearing health company
focused on providing innovative medical technologies across the hearing loss spectrum. Our technologies are designed to shift the paradigm
within the hearing industry and bring both providers and patients the hearing devices they desire.
Founded in 1995, our vision
is to create fully implanted hearing devices that leverage the natural ear – not an artificial microphone – to pick up sound.
In recent years, we have focused almost exclusively on developing the fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant (the “Acclaim”),
our lead product candidate.
We believe that the Acclaim
is a first-of-its-kind cochlear implant. Our fully implanted technology includes a sensor designed to leverage the natural anatomy of
the ear instead of a microphone to capture sound. The Acclaim is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that
is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim will only be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by
a qualified physician. The Acclaim received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration (the
“FDA”) in 2019.
Our first product, the Esteem®,
was created and received FDA approval in 2010. The Esteem is a fully implanted active middle ear hearing device and remains the only FDA
approved fully implanted hearing device in the US market. Unfortunately, the Esteem failed to gain commercial traction, primarily due
to a lack of reimbursement or insurance coverage from third-party payors.
Despite commercial challenges,
approximately 1,000 Esteem devices were implanted. Some devices had been implanted in the early 2000s during clinical trials, providing
Envoy Medical with nearly two decades of experience with its implantable sensor technology. Throughout our experience, our sensor technology
proved a viable alternative and robust option to external or implanted microphones.
In late 2015, we made the decision to shift our
focus from the Esteem to a new product that would leverage our sensor technology and incorporate it into a cochlear implant. As a result,
we now have the Acclaim®, a fully implanted cochlear implant. We believe the Acclaim gives us an opportunity to disrupt the existing
cochlear implant market. The cochlear implant market is one that already has established market acceptance and reimbursement pathways.
In the United States, before we can market a new Class III medical device, which the Acclaim is, we must first receive FDA approval via
the premarket application approval process. We currently anticipate obtaining FDA approval in mid-2026, although the FDA approval process
is uncertain, and we cannot guarantee that we will receive FDA approval on that timeline, or at all.
We had a net income of approximately
$1.6 million and net loss of $25.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and had an accumulated
deficit of $251.0 million and $226.0 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We have funded our operations
to date primarily through the issuance of equity securities and convertible debt and in September 2023, we received $11.7 million proceeds
from the Business Combination (see Note 1 “Nature of the Business and Presentation” of the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere in this
Report). We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, and expect our research and development expenses, general
and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures will continue to increase. In particular, we expect our expenses to increase as
we continue our development of the Acclaim and seek the necessary regulatory approvals for our product candidate, as well as hire additional
personnel, pay fees to outside consultants, attorneys and accountants, and incur other increased costs associated with being a public
company. In addition, if and when we seek and obtain regulatory approval to commercialize the Acclaim in the United States, we will also
incur increased expenses in connection with commercialization and marketing of such product. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly
from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials, if any, and our expenditures on other research
and development activities. We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, if
and as we:
| ● | continue
our research and development efforts for the Acclaim product candidate, including through clinical trials; |
| ● | seek
additional regulatory and marketing approvals in jurisdictions outside the United States; |
| ● | establish
a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize our product candidate; |
| ● | rely
on our third-party suppliers and manufacturers to obtain adequate supply of materials and components for our products; |
| ● | seek
to identify, assess, acquire, license, and/or develop other product candidates and subsequent generations of our current product candidate; |
| ● | seek
to maintain, protect, and expand our intellectual property portfolio; |
| ● | seek
to identify, hire, and retain additional skilled personnel; |
| ● | create
additional infrastructure to support our operations as a public company and our product candidate development and planned future commercialization
efforts; and |
| ● | experience
any delays or encounter issues with respect to any of the above, including, but not limited to, failed studies, complex results, safety
issues or other regulatory challenges that require longer follow-up of existing studies or additional supportive studies in order to
pursue marketing approval. |
We expect that our financial
performance will fluctuate quarterly and yearly due to the development status of our Acclaim implant product and our efforts to obtain
regulatory approval and commercialize the Acclaim implant product.
The Acclaim has not yet been
approved for sale. We do not expect to generate any product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory
approval for our product candidate. If we obtain regulatory approval for the Acclaim, we expect to incur significant commercialization
expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. As a result, until such time, if ever, that we can generate
substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including
collaborations, licenses or similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements
when needed or on favorable terms, if at all. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial
condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies, including our research and development activities. If we are
unable to raise capital, we will need to delay, reduce, or terminate planned activities to reduce costs.
Macroeconomic Conditions
Our business and financial
performance are impacted by macroeconomic conditions. Global macroeconomic challenges, such as the effects of the ongoing war between
Russian and Ukraine, the Middle East conflict, supply chain constraints, market uncertainty, volatility in exchange rates, inflationary
trends and evolving dynamics in the global trade environment have impacted our business and financial performance.
Furthermore, a recession
or market correction resulting from macroeconomic factors could materially affect our business and the value of our Class A Common Stock.
The occurrence of any such events may lead to reduced disposable income which could adversely affect the number of Esteem implants and
replacement components sold as a result of customer and patient reluctance to seek treatment due to financial considerations.
Adverse macroeconomic conditions,
other pandemics or international tensions, could also result in significant disruption of global economic conditions and consumer trends,
as well as a significant disruption in financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively
affect our liquidity.
Restatement
On December 14, 2023,
the audit committee of the board of the directors of the Company, after considering the recommendations of management, concluded that
the Company’s previously issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023 should no longer be relied upon. The determination relates to the
Company’s interpretation of the accounting guidance applicable to the forward purchase agreement, dated April 17, 2023, by and
among the Company, Envoy Medical Corporation, Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, Meteora Capital Partners, LP, Meteora Select Trading
Opportunities Master, LP and Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (as amended to date, the “Forward Purchase Agreement” or the
“FPA”).
The Company reviewed its
prior interpretation of the accounting guidance applicable to certain elements of the FPA and determined the prepayment amount of $2.4
million, previously recorded as part of the forward purchase agreement assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, should
be reclassified to the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and the remaining liability balance associated with
the FPA, including the in-substance written put option and maturity consideration, should be reflected as
non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In accordance with ASC
250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the Company also evaluated the materiality of the errors to the Company’s
previously filed financial statements for the third quarter of 2023. Considering both quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company
determined that the related impact was material to the previously filed condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the
period ended September 30, 2023, and restated and reissued these financial statements.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
We revised the unaudited
condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive
income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as filed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. This resulted in a downward
adjustment of previously reported convertible notes payable (related party) of $14.6 million, and an upward adjustment of $14.7 million
in additional paid-in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023, and an increase in the loss
from change in the fair value of convertible note payable (related party) of $91 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30,
2023. Further, we revised the statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) to treat the convertible notes amendment as an extinguishment
of debt with a related party. The impact of the amendment has been recorded as an additional deemed capital contribution from a related
party on the revised unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
We also revised the unaudited
condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to correct
the classification of certain costs pertaining to the development of Acclaim between cost of goods sold and research and development costs.
See Note 1 “Revision
of Prior Period Financial Statements of Envoy” of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere in this Report.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Currently, we derive substantially
all our revenue from the sale of the Esteem implants and replacement components to Esteem implants. We enter arrangements with patients
to provide them with the Esteem device, personal programmer devices, sound processor/battery replacements, and/or an optional Care Plan,
each of which are outputs of our ordinary activities in exchange for consideration. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer
of control of the product to a customer, which occurs at a point in time, when we are notified the product has been implanted or used
by the customer in a surgical procedure. New implantations of the Esteem are not expected to be more than a few per year and may be as
low as zero. Although we believe unlikely, Esteem implantations could potentially increase with favorable reimbursement policy and coverage
changes. We will continue our efforts to pursue positive reimbursement changes for fully implanted active middle ear implants. There will
be continued nominal revenue from replacement of sound processors for patients who need a new battery.
Upon commercialization of
our Acclaim implant product, we expect Acclaim revenue to more than replace Esteem revenue. We expect to obtain FDA approval for the Acclaim
in 2026.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold includes
direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing and distribution of the Esteem implants, including materials, labor costs for personnel
involved in the manufacturing process, distribution-related services, indirect overhead costs, and charges for excess and obsolete inventory
reserves and inventory write-offs.
We expect cost of goods sold
to increase or decrease in absolute dollars primarily as, and to the extent, our revenue grows or declines, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses
Research and development
(“R&D”) expenses consist of costs incurred for our research activities, primarily our discovery efforts and the development
of the Acclaim implant product. We also incur R&D costs related to continuing to support, and improve upon where possible, our Esteem
product. We expense R&D costs as incurred, which include:
| ● | salaries,
employee benefits, and other related costs for our personnel engaged in R&D functions; |
| ● | service
fees incurred under agreements with independent consultants, including their fees and related travel expenses engaged in R&D functions; |
| ● | costs
of laboratory testing including supplies and acquiring, developing, and manufacturing study materials; and |
| ● | facility-related
expenses, which include direct depreciation costs and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs. |
Costs for certain development
activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information and data provided to
us by our vendors, service providers and our clinical sites.
Our R&D expenses are
currently tracked on a program-by-program basis. The majority of our R&D costs during the three and nine months ended September 30,
2023 and 2022 were incurred for the development of the Acclaim.
Our products require human
clinical trials to obtain regulatory approval for commercial sales. We cannot determine with certainty the size, duration, or completion
costs of future clinical trials, or if or when they may be completed. Furthermore, we do not know if the clinical trials will show positive
or negative results, or what those results will mean for regulatory approval or commercialization efforts.
The duration, costs and timing
of future clinical trials and development of our products will depend on a variety of factors, including:
| ● | the
scope, rate of progress, and expense of our ongoing, as well as any additional, clinical trials and other R&D activities; |
| ● | Interest
in or demand for both investigational site and subject enrollment; |
| ● | future
clinical trial results; |
| ● | potential
changes in government regulation; |
| ● | potential
changes in the reimbursement landscape; and |
| ● | the
timing and receipt of any regulatory approvals. |
A change in the outcome of
any of these variables with respect to the development of our Acclaim implant product could mean a significant change in the costs and
timing associated with the development of that implant. If the FDA or another regulatory authority were to require us to conduct clinical
trials beyond those that we currently anticipate, or if we experience significant delays in the enrollment in any clinical trials, we
could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development.
R&D activities are central
to our business model. We expect that our R&D expenses will continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we initiate clinical
trials for the Acclaim implant product and prepare the product for possible commercialization, should it gain regulatory approval(s).
If the Acclaim implant product enters later stages of clinical trials and ongoing development, the product will generally have higher
R&D costs than those in earlier stages of research and development, primarily due to simultaneously running clinical trials while
also iterating the product for commercialization and preparing for the needs of commercialization. There are numerous factors associated
with the successful commercialization of the Acclaim implant product or any products we may develop in the future, including future trial
design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development.
Additionally, future commercial and regulatory factors beyond our control will impact our clinical development program and plans.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative
expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and other related costs for personnel in our executive, operations, legal, human resources,
finance, and administrative functions. Administrative expenses also include professional fees for legal, patent, consulting, accounting,
tax and audit services, travel expenses and facility-related expenses, which include direct depreciation costs and allocated expenses
for rent and maintenance of facilities, technology, and other operating costs.
We expect our general and
administrative expenses to increase in the foreseeable future as we increase our administrative personnel to support our continuing growth,
our costs of marketing and selling expenses, our costs of expanding our operations and operating as a public company. These increases
will likely include increases related to the hiring of additional personnel and legal, regulatory, and other fees and services associated
with maintaining compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, or the Nasdaq Listing Rules and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance
costs and investor relations costs associated with being a public company.
Loss from changes in fair value of convertible
notes payable (related party)
We elected the fair value
option for convertible notes payable (related party), and accordingly, convertible notes payable (related party) are recorded at fair
value at each reporting date on the consolidated balance sheets. Gain (loss) from changes in fair value of convertible notes payable consists
of changes in the fair value during each reporting period.
Other expense
Our other expense consists
of changes in fair value of our warrant liability (related party) and gains and losses on sales of fixed assets.

Revenue
Revenue increased $23 thousand
for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, due to an increase in replacement
component sales.
Revenue increased $4 thousand
for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase is primarily due to
an increase of $23 thousand in the third quarter of 2023, offset by $19 thousand decrease in the first two quarters of 2023 as a result
of a decrease in replacement component sales due to supply chain issues with obtaining manufacturing components. This issue was resolved
in the second quarter of 2023.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold increased
$83 thousand and approximately $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an increase in salaries, consulting fees, and scrap costs. The
increase in salaries and consulting fees is mainly due to increased headcount in our manufacturing and quality departments in the first
three quarters of 2023. The increase in scrap costs was primarily due to higher scrap costs incurred related to Esteem manufacturing testing.

R&D expenses increased
approximately $0.9 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase is primarily due to a $0.6 million and $1.6 million increase in R&D product costs
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as we develop our cochlear product in preparation for our pivotal clinical study
for the Acclaim. Also contributing to the increase was an increase of $0.2 million and $0.6 million in personnel and salary costs for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as we increased headcount across our clinical, regulatory, and cochlear
departments.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative
expenses increased $0.6 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase is primarily due to a $0.2 million and $2.2 million increase in professional
and legal fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, related to the finalization of the Business Combination
in the third quarter of 2023 and a $0.3 million and $0.4 million increase in personnel-related costs for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as we increased headcount in preparation for the future commercialization of our Acclaim implant
product.
Loss from changes in fair value of convertible
notes payable (related party)
Gain from changes in fair
value of convertible notes payable increased $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2022. Loss from change in fair value of convertible notes payable increased $14.8 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The fair value of the convertible notes payable was based on a probability-weighted
expected return model and included unobservable inputs such as the discount rate and probabilities of certain exit events, including a
qualified financing, initial public offering or merger with a SPAC, and estimated recovery in the event of default. The loss recorded
on convertible notes payable increased significantly in the first quarter and second quarter of 2023 as the probability of a merger with
a special-purpose acquisition company increased and the probability of default decreased. The fair value of the convertible notes payable
decreased in the third quarter of 2023, which was mainly caused by the fact that the stock price of the Company upon the Business Combination
was lower than what was expected in the second quarter of 2023. See Note 4 “Fair Value Measurement” of the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere
in this Report.
Other Expense
Other expense increased by
$60 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase
in the fair values of warrant liability (related party) in the first quarter of 2023, offset by the exercise and cancellation of the warrants
(related party) immediately prior to the Business Combination in the third quarter of 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have
incurred significant operating losses. We expect to incur significant expenses and continuing operating losses for the foreseeable future
as we advance the clinical development of our products. We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from raising funds
from issuing equity securities, convertible notes and proceeds from the Business Combination. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31,
2022, we had $7.4 million and $0.2 million of cash, respectively, and zero and $5.0 million in undrawn principal from our convertible
notes, respectively.
We proactively manage our
access to capital to support liquidity and continued growth. Our sources of capital include sales of the Esteem implants and replacement
components and issuances of our Class A Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, warrants, convertible debt and other financing agreements
such as the forward purchase agreement. See Note 1 “Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation” of the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere
in this Report.
We may seek to raise any
necessary additional capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances,
licensing arrangements and other marketing and distribution arrangements. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring
additional funding at levels sufficient to fund our operations or on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient financing
when needed or events or circumstances occur such that we do not meet our strategic plans, we may be required to reduce certain discretionary
spending, be unable to develop new or enhanced production methods, or be unable to fund capital expenditures, which could have a material
adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives.
These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To the extent that we raise additional capital
through additional collaborations, strategic alliances, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable
rights to our Acclaim implant, future revenue streams, research programs or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity or convertible debt offerings, the ownership interest of our existing
stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our
stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting
our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends.
Our future capital requirements
and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
titled “Risk factors – Risks Related to Envoy’s Business and Operations.”

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily used to fund a net loss of approximately $25.0 million, adjusted
for non-cash expenses in aggregate amount of approximately $13.2 million and approximately $5.8 million of cash generated from net changes
in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily related to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and related
party payable, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets and decreases in product
warranty liability and lease liabilities. We will continue to evaluate our capital requirements for both short-term and long-term liquidity
needs, which could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the current inflationary
environment, rising interest rates, and other risks detailed in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Risk Factors.”
Net cash used in operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily used to fund a net loss of approximately $4.4 million, adjusted
for non-cash gains in aggregate amount of approximately $1.3 million, and approximately $0.7 million of cash outflows from net changes
in the level of operating assets and liabilities, primarily related to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and an increase
in inventory.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.1 million and consisted of purchases of computer equipment due to increased
headcount and purchases of lab equipment.
Net cash used in investing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $0.2 million and consisted of purchases of computer equipment
due to increased headcount and purchases of lab equipment.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $22.7 million. This increase was primarily driven by the $11.7 million net
proceeds from the Business Combination and was also driven by $10.0 million proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable to
a related party.
Net cash provided by financing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $6.1 million and consisted of proceeds of $6.0 million from the issuance of
convertible notes payable to a related party.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our principal commitments
consist of contractual cash obligations under our borrowings with stockholders, our operating leases for office space, and various litigation
matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Immediately prior to the Business Combination, the convertible note payable (related
party) was converted and as such, is not included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023. Our obligations
for leases are described in Note 7 “Operating Leases”, and for further information on our open litigation matters,
see Note 14 “Commitments and Contingencies” of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere in this Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented,
we did not have, nor do we currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Related Party Arrangements
Our related party arrangements
consist of leasing our headquarters office space from a stockholder, receiving loan financings from stockholders. We also recorded a payable
to a stockholder on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023. For further information on the related party arrangements
refer to Note 5 “Restricted Cash”, Note 7 “Operating Leases”, Note 9 “Convertible
Notes Payable (Related Party)” and Note 13 “Related Party Transactions” of the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere in this Report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion
and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations is based on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain amounts included
in or affecting the consolidated financial statements presented in this Report and related disclosure must be estimated, requiring management
to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the consolidated financial statements
are prepared. Management believes that the accounting policies set forth below comprise the most important “critical accounting
policies” for the company. A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of our financial
condition and results of operations and that involves difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management evaluates such policies on an ongoing basis, based upon
historical results and experience, consultation with experts and other methods that management considers reasonable in the particular
circumstances under which the judgments and estimates are made, as well as management’s forecasts as to the manner in which such
circumstances may change in the future.
Fair
Value Measurement (restated)
We
determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy established in Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 identifies fair value as the
exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants. The hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value,
as follows:
| ● | Level
1 — Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets and liabilities. |
| ● | Level
2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly
or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in
markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level
3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Management
uses valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of financial instruments, where active market quotes are not available.
The
following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s Level 3 instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The
fair value of the convertible notes payable (related party) is based on a probability-weighted expected return model (“PWERM”),
which represents Level 3 measurements. The valuation utilized unobservable inputs, including estimates of the probability and timing
of future commercialization of products not yet approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. Other significant assumptions include
the discount rate, the fair value of our Class A Common Stock, volatility, probability of the convertible notes being held to maturity,
the probabilities of certain exit events, including a qualified financing, initial public offering or merger with a special-purpose acquisition
company, and estimated recovery in the event of default.
We
classified warrants within Level 3 of the hierarchy as the fair value is derived using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which
uses a combination of observable (Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3) inputs. Key estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value
measurement include (i) the expected term of the warrants, (ii) the risk-free interest rate, (iii) the expected dividend
yield and (iv) expected volatility of the price of the underlying shares of Class A Common Stock.
The
fair values of the FPA put option liability and the forward purchase agreement warrant liability were estimated using Monte Carlo Simulation
models, which are Level 3 fair value measurements. Key estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value measurement include (i) the
Company’s stock price, (ii) the initial exercise price, (iii) the remaining term and (iv) the risk-free rate.
Research
and Development Expenses
We
will incur substantial expenses associated with prototyping, improvements, testing and clinical trials. Accounting for clinical trials
relating to activities performed by external vendors requires us to exercise significant estimates regarding the timing and accounting
for these expenses. We estimate costs of R&D activities conducted by service providers, which include the conduct of sponsored research
and contract manufacturing activities. The diverse nature of services being provided for our clinical trials and other arrangements,
the different compensation arrangements that exist for each type of service and the lack of timely information related to certain clinical
activities complicates the estimation of accruals for services rendered by third parties in connection with clinical trials. We record
the estimated costs of R&D activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced and include these
costs in the accrued expenses or prepaid expenses on the balance sheets and within R&D expense on the consolidated statements of
operations. In estimating the duration of a clinical study, we evaluate the start-up, treatment and wrap-up periods, compensation arrangements
and services rendered attributable to each clinical trial and fluctuations are regularly tested against payment plans and trial completion
assumptions.
We
estimate these costs based on factors such as estimates of the work completed and budget provided and in accordance with agreements established
with our collaboration partners and third-party service providers. We make significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued
liabilities and prepaid expense balances in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, we adjust our accrued liabilities or
prepaid expenses. We have not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred since our inception.
Our
expenses related to clinical trials will be based on estimates of patient enrollment and related expenses at clinical investigator sites
as well as estimates for the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with multiple research institutions that may
be used to conduct and manage clinical trials on our behalf. We will accrue expenses related to clinical trials based on contracted amounts
applied to the level of patient enrollment and activity. If timelines or contracts are modified based upon changes in the clinical trial
protocol or scope of work to be performed, we will modify our estimates of accrued expenses accordingly on a prospective basis.
Product
Warranty
During
2013, we offered a lifetime warranty to clinical trial patients to cover battery and surgery related costs. We estimate the costs that
may be incurred under this lifetime warranty and record a liability in the amount of such costs at its present value. The assumptions
utilized in developing the liability include an estimated cost per unit of $6 thousand, an average battery life of 5 years, inflationary
increases, discount rate, and an average patient life calculated on probabilities outlined in the PRI-2012 mortality tables, published
from the Society of Actuaries.
Recently
Issued/Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
A
discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements and recently adopted accounting pronouncements is included in Note 2 “Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies” of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023,
and December 31, 2022 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere in this Report.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We
are exposed to a variety of market risks, including currency risk, credit and counterparty risk, and inflation risk, as set out below.
We manage and monitor these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner. Save as disclosed
below, we did not hedge or consider it necessary to hedge any of these risks.
Currency
Risk
Foreign
currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument fluctuates because of the change in foreign exchange rates. We primarily
operate in the United States and Germany with most of the transactions settled in the United States dollar. Our presentation and functional
currency is the United States dollar. Certain bank balances, deposits and other payables are denominated in the Euro, which exposes us
to foreign currency risk. However, any transactions that may be conducted in foreign currencies are not expected to have a material effect
on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Credit
and Counterparty Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable, net. Periodically,
we maintain deposits in accredited financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We maintain cash with financial institutions
that management believes to be of high credit quality. We have not experienced any losses on such accounts and do not believe we are
exposed to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
With
respect to accounts receivable, we perform credit evaluations of our customers and do not require collateral. There have been no material
losses on accounts receivable. There were no customers that accounted for 10% or more of sales for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2023 and 2022.
Inflation
Risk
Inflationary
factors, such as increases in our cost of goods sold and selling and operating expenses, may adversely affect our operating results.
Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high
rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain and increase our gross margin and selling and marketing
and operating expenses as a percentage of our revenue if the selling prices of our products do not increase as much as or more than these
increased costs.
Emerging
Growth Company
Section
102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to
comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act
registration statement declared effective or no not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect
to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such
election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard
is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can
adopt the new or revised standard at the time the private companies adopt the new or revised standard, until such time we are no longer
considered to be an emerging growth company. At times, we may elect to early adopt a new or revised standard.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We
are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures (restated)
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, as such term
is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In their assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023, management concluded that such controls and procedures were ineffective and
that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s
financial results.
Material
Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management
concluded the following material weaknesses existed as of the period covered by this Report:
| ● | The
Company does not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with accounting knowledge,
experience and training to appropriately analyze, record and disclose certain accounting
matters to provide reasonable assurance of preventing material misstatements. |
| ● | The
Company’s management does not implement a formal risk assessment that addresses risks
relevant to financial reporting objectives, including fraud risks. |
| ● | The
Company has not designed, documented and maintained formal accounting policies, procedures
and controls over significant accounts and disclosures to achieve complete, accurate and
timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures, including segregation of duties and
adequate controls related to the preparation, posting, modification and review of journal
entries. |
| ● | The
Company has not designed and maintained effective controls over certain information technology
general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its consolidated
financial statements, including ineffective controls around user access and segregation of
duties. |
Considering
this, we performed additional procedures and analyses as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Additionally, in connection with management’s
subsequent re-evaluation of its previously issued financial statements, management concluded that a deficiency in internal control over
financial reporting existed relating to the accounting treatment for the valuation of a material liability and the forward purchase agreement,
and that such deficiency also constituted a material weakness.
Notwithstanding
the conclusion by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September
30, 2023 were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described above,
management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this
Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented,
and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
The
Company has begun implementation of a plan to remediate these material weaknesses. These remediation measures are ongoing and include
the following steps:
| ● | hiring
additional accounting and financial reporting personnel with appropriate technical accounting
knowledge and public company experience in financial reporting; |
| ● | designing
and implementing effective processes and controls over significant accounts and disclosure; |
|
● |
designing
and implementing security management and change management controls over information technology systems, including adjusting
user access levels and implementing external logging on activity and periodic review of such logs;
|
|
● |
designing
and maintaining effective controls to ensure appropriate accounting for complex technical arrangements, including the Forward Purchase
Agreement; and |
|
● |
reviewing
candidate accounting advisory firms to assist with the documentation, evaluation, remediation and testing of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework”
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. |
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September
30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER
INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings
From
time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently involved
in any material legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of our business.
As
previously disclosed, in January 2020, Patrick Spearman, a shareholder of Envoy, and certain other Envoy shareholders (collectively,
the “Initial Spearman Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Ramsey County, Minnesota (Case No. 62-CV-20-790)
against each current and certain former members of the Envoy board of directors, including Glen A. Taylor, as well as GAT Funding, LLC
(“GAT”), an entity affiliated with Mr. Taylor, Franz Altpeter, Chuck Brynelsen, David Fabry, Ed Flaherty, Allen Lenzmeier,
Brent Lucas, Roger Lucas, Randy Nitzsche and Paul Waldon (collectively, the “Envoy Defendants”). The Initial Spearman Plaintiffs
alleged that the terms of financing transactions between GAT and Mr. Taylor on the one hand and Envoy on the other hand were unreasonably
favorable to GAT and Mr. Taylor, that Mr. Taylor breached his fiduciary duty as a shareholder, that each defendant breached his fiduciary
duty as a director in approving such transactions and engaged in common law fraud in not sufficiently disclosing the transactions, a
claim of unjust enrichment against GAT and Mr. Taylor, and claims against the other directors for aiding and abetting and conspiracy
in relation to the claims against GAT and Mr. Taylor. The Envoy directors asserted a defamation counterclaim, through which the directors
sought damages against certain of the plaintiffs.
In
June 2023, Envoy received an additional complaint from additional shareholders affiliated or associated with the Initial Spearman Plaintiffs
(the “Additional Spearman Plaintiffs” and, together with the Initial Spearman Plaintiffs, the “Spearman Plaintiffs”)
raising claims that were substantially the same as the claims raised in the existing Initial Spearman Plaintiffs’ litigation.
On
August 25, 2023, the parties entered into a binding agreement in principle to settle all claims and counterclaims in the lawsuit, which
agreement in principle was formalized in a settlement agreement dated September 15, 2023 (the “Settlement Agreement”). Under
the terms of the Settlement Agreement, (i) an entity affiliated with Mr. Taylor purchased approximately 39 million shares of Envoy Common
Stock held by the Spearman Plaintiffs, constituting all of the shares of Envoy owned by the Spearman Plaintiffs, which purchase was completed
on September 28, 2023, (ii) the Spearman Plaintiffs and the Envoy Defendants fully released all claims and counterclaims and dismissed
the related litigation, and (iii) the Spearman Plaintiffs agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination and related matters submitted
to a vote of the Envoy shareholders at Envoy’s special meeting of shareholders held September 29, 2023. Envoy was not required
to make any cash payment pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement. Both the Spearman Plaintiffs and the Envoy Defendants denied
any wrongdoing or liability pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
On
November 14, 2023, Atlas Merchant Capital SPAC Fund I LP (the “Plaintiff”), a stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint
(the “Complaint”) against Daniel Hirsch, Whitney Haring-Smith, the Sponsor and the Company, as successor to ANZU Special
Acquisition Corp. I, (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Complaint alleges
a claim for breach of Anzu’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Anzu Charter”) against the Company,
a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against Mr. Hirsch, Dr. Haring-Smith and the Sponsor and claims for unjust enrichment, fraudulent
misrepresentation and tortious interference with economic relations against the Defendants. The Complaint alleges that, among other things,
after the Plaintiff submitted a redemption request for its shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Company’s special
meeting of stockholders held on September 27, 2023, Plaintiff thereafter withdrew its redemption request, then Defendants declined to
honor Plaintiff’s request to reinstate its redemption election because the request to reinstate its redemption election occurred
after the redemption deadline of September 25, 2023.
The
Complaint seeks specific performance to compel the Defendants to honor Atlas’ redemption request, monetary damages, attorneys’
fees and expenses. The Company believes the claims asserted in the Complaint to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the
litigation. At this time the Company does not believe that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and it is not possible to predict the
outcome of the proceeding or its impact on the Company.

material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on us, please refer to the risk factors disclosed in
the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Risk Factors.”
Item 2. Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During
the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, there were no unregistered sales of our securities that were not reported in a Current Report
on Form 8-K.

arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
In
connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company adopted its Amended and Restated Bylaws, which, among other things,
set forth certain procedures by which its stockholders may recommend nominees to the Company’s board of directors, as described
in more detail in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
