NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation

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® Fully Implanted Active Middle Ear Implant (“Esteem FI-AMEI”), is a fully implanted active middle ear hearing device. The Esteem FI-AMEI was approved for sale in 2010 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).

Envoy Medical believes the fully implanted Acclaim® Cochlear Implant (“Acclaim CI”) 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 CI is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim CI will only be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician. The Acclaim CI received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA in 2019.

On September 29, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), a merger transaction between Envoy Medical Corporation, Anzu Special Acquisition Corp I (“Anzu”) and Envoy Merger Sub, Inc., a directly, wholly owned subsidiary of Anzu (“Merger Sub”) was completed (hereinafter, 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 Medical Corporation, with Envoy Medical Corporation 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 (“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 Medical Corporation entered into an agreement (as amended to date, the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) 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 the Company’s Common Stock (the “Recycled Shares”) directly from the redeeming stockholders of Anzu. Also, effective upon 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 Common Stock (the “Share Consideration”). During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Sellers sold the full amount of the Recycled Shares, and, pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Company received $4.00 per share sold, or approximately $1.7 million.

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 $10.0 million.

Pursuant to the convertible promissory note, dated April 17, 2023, between Envoy Medical Corporation 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 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 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the Company’s Form 10-K, dated and filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, 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, 2023.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Going Concern

Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $270.2 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company has funded its operations and capital needs primarily through net proceeds from the issuances of term debt, convertible debt, the sale of Envoy Medical’s Common Stock, and the sale of Envoy Medical’s Series A Preferred Stock. In February 2024, the Company received $5.0 million as an initial advance from a $10.0 million term loan provided by a related party, and in May 2024 received an additional $2.5 million as a second advance from this term loan (see Note 9). In February 2024, the Company received net proceeds of $1.7 million from the sale of 425,606 shares held by Meteora parties (see Note 1). In September 2023, the Company received $11.7 million in proceeds from the Business Combination, Forward Purchase Agreement, and the PIPE Transaction, net of transaction costs. The Company had cash of $1.7 million as of June 30, 2024.

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 of its discretionary spending. The Company may 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, stock-based compensation expense, the fair value of the forward purchase agreement put option liability, the fair value of the forward purchase agreement warrant liability 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 loss.

Reclassification

Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

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 the Company’s accounts receivable. There were no customers that accounted for 10.0% or more of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were no customers that accounted for 10.0% or more of the accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Cash and Restricted Cash

The Company maintains cash balances in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company is required to maintain an amount equal to the first-year dividend payments defined under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was unable to comply with this requirement (see Note 5).

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company grants credit to customers in the normal course of business, but generally does not require collateral or other security to support amounts due. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for credit losses. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers based on financial information provided by the customer. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company estimates its allowance for credit losses by considering numerous factors, including delinquency trends along with ongoing customer credit evaluations. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. Payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for credit losses. The Company had no material bad debt expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively; there were no material contract assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses was not material for the six months ended June, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company records write-downs of inventories which are obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand or net realizable value based on a consideration of marketability and product life cycle stage, historical net sales and demand forecasts which consider the assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Inventory on hand that is not expected to be sold or utilized is considered excess, and the Company recognizes the write-down in cost of revenue at the time of such determination. The write-down is determined by the excess of cost over net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. At the time of loss recognition, a new cost basis is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances would not result in an increase in the cost basis.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements that extend the lives of the assets are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and resulting gains or losses are included in operating results. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which ranges from three to seven years for property and equipment.

Operating Leases

The Company determines if an agreement is a lease at inception. The Company elected not to recognize the right to use an underlying asset (right-of-use “ROU” asset) and lease liabilities for short-term leases, which are those that have a lease term of twelve months or less, and includes renewal options in the measurement of lease liabilities only when the option to purchase or renew lease for the underlying asset is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company has elected as an accounting policy to account for lease components and associated non-lease components as a single component. The Company leases its headquarters office space under an operating lease with a related party. The Company also leases office space in Germany under an operating lease (see Note 7). The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is performed at the inception of the arrangement and as necessary at modification. Operating leases are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets with operating lease assets representing the right to use the ROU asset for the lease term and lease liabilities representing the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company excludes variable lease payments in measuring ROU assets and lease liabilities, other than those that depend on an index, a rate or are in-substance fixed payments.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In addition, ROU assets include initial direct costs incurred by the lessee as well as any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and exclude lease incentives. The discount rate implicit within the Company’s leases is generally not determinable; therefore, the Company determines the discount rate using its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company, including equipment and ROU assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows related to the assets are less than its carrying value. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded, if any, is calculated by the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. The Company did not incur any impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and term loan payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the operating lease liabilities also approximates fair value since the instrument bears market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company determines 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.

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 had elected the fair value option for the convertible notes payable (related party) under ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), with changes in fair value recorded in loss from changes in fair value of convertible notes payable (related party) each reporting period. The convertible notes payable (related party) were converted on the Closing Date and are no longer outstanding for any periods presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s forward purchase agreement put option liability and forward purchase agreement warrant liability are considered to be Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value and are described below (see 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 (“ASC 815”). 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 other income (expense) in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive 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 publicly traded warrant liability in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognized the warrant instruments as a liability at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The publicly traded warrant liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in other income (expense) in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company accounts for its Forward Purchase Agreement in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognized the forward purchase agreement put option liability and the forward purchase agreement warrant liability at fair value at each reporting period. The forward agreement put option liability and the forward purchase agreement warrant liability are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized in other income (expense) in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2024, the Company no longer had a forward purchase agreement put option liability.

SPAC Excise Tax Liability

The Company recognized an excise tax liability of approximately $2.2 million upon completion of the Company’s Business Combination as an incremental cost to repurchase the Company’s treasury shares, with an offsetting tax liability recognized. The SPAC excise tax liability was recorded in accrued expenses in the Company’s unaudited 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; and

●

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 was immaterial for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Amounts received from a customer prior to fulfillment of the performance obligation are included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are immaterial as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities performed as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the products; 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and therefore the Company did not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold is comprised of the costs of merchandise sold, as well as the related inbound freight costs and labor directly attributable to bringing certain goods to a saleable condition. In categorizing costs, the Company captures applicable depreciation and costs to maintain and run revenue generating technology, equipment related costs and any personnel-related costs as cost of goods sold.

Product Warranty

The Company provides a limited warranty for its implantable components. At the time product revenue is recognized, the Company reserves for estimated future costs that may be incurred under its warranties based on historical experience. The limited warranty liability is recorded in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of accrued limited warranty was immaterial and the Company’s warranty payments were immaterial.

During 2013, the Company offered a lifetime warranty to clinical trial patients to cover batteries and surgery related costs. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under this lifetime warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at its present value. The lifetime warranty is recorded in warranty liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate product warranty liability was $2.2 million, respectively, of which $0.3 million, respectively, was classified as a current liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Patents

All patent-related costs incurred in connection with filing and prosecuting patent applications are expensed as incurred due to the uncertainty about the recovery of the expenditure. Amounts incurred are classified as general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development Costs

Expenditures for research and development activities are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development costs include salaries, employee benefits and laboratory testing expenses.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those items are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the related benefits.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only to the extent the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company has elected to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Euro is the functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiary in Germany. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the end-of-the-period exchange rates, and the revenues and expenses are translated at weighted-average rates for the respective reporting period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a translation adjustment, which is included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit as well as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Net Loss per Share

The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock certificate of designation entitles the holders to participate in dividends on an as converted basis when declared on Common Stock. As a result, the Series A Preferred Stock meets the definition of a participating security, which requires the Company to apply the two-class method to compute both basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats participating securities as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to common stockholders. The two-class method requires income available to holders of the Company’s Common Stock for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to share in the earnings as if all income for the period had been distributed. In periods where there is a net loss, no allocation of undistributed net loss to the Series A Preferred Stock is performed as the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are not contractually obligated to participate in the Company’s losses. The Company reported net losses of $5.3 million and $13.2 million attributable to the stockholders of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The Company reported net losses of $12.9 million and $26.5 million attributable to the stockholders of the Company’s common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, plus the impact of potential common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the potential exercise of warrants or options, and the potential conversion of preferred stock, into common stock, under the if-converted method. Due to the net losses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, basic and dilutive net loss per share were the same, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of stock-based payment awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from using a determined peer group of other companies’ stock prices since the trading history of the Company’s stock is too short to provide accurate data. The Company accounts for the expected term of options in accordance with the “simplified” method, which is used for “plain-vanilla” options, as defined in ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options.

The Company has adopted the guidance from Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Compensation Accounting, and has determined not to apply a forfeiture rate and has made the accounting election that forfeitures will be recognized when the actual forfeiture takes place therefore no estimated forfeiture rate will be recorded.

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 November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which will add required disclosures of significant expenses for each reportable segment, as well as certain other disclosures to help investors understand how the CODM evaluates segment expenses and operating results. The new standard will also allow disclosure of multiple measures of segment profitability if those measures are used to allocate resources and assess performance. The amendments will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The standard will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

Other than the items 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 proceeds received by the Company from the Merger, the PIPE Transaction, and the Forward Purchase Agreement, net of transaction costs, totaled $11.7 million.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Anzu was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of Anzu, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Anzu were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

5. Cash Available for Dividend Payments

Pursuant to the certificate of designation of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company is required to maintain the funds allocated for the first four (4) quarterly dividend payments in a separate account, for a total of $5.4 million, for use in the payment of dividends to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the Company does not remit a required dividend payment, an additional dividend on the amount of the unpaid portion of the dividend will automatically accrue at the regular dividend rate of 12%.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was unable to maintain this balance and continue funding normal operations. Notwithstanding its inability to maintain funds in a separate account, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued all dividend payments required under the certificate of designation of the Series A Preferred Stock which are included in accrued expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had paid all required dividend payments under the certificate of designation of the Series A Preferred Stock.

7. Operating Leases

The Company leases its headquarters office space in Minnesota and leases office space in Germany. The lease for the Company’s headquarters office space expires at the end of 2030. This headquarters office space lease is with a stockholder, which is considered a related party. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company and the landlord agreed to extend the lease for three (3) additional years and the lease now terminates on December 31, 2030. The Company requested and the landlord provided an additional 1,664 square feet of usable office space, for a total of 11,540 square feet of rentable space. Accordingly, base rent was increased to $5,587 per month and increases each year by approximately four (4) percent each year. As well, tenant improvements completed by the landlord totaling $150,000 will be repaid in three (3) $50,000 annual payments beginning July 1, 2027. The lease of the office space in Germany is not with a related party and is immaterial.

Additionally, a discount rate of 5.1% was used in the calculation as of June 30, 2024.

9. Debt (Related Party)

Convertible Notes

The Company received several loan financings from stockholders from 2012 to 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the 2012 Convertible Note, the 2013 Convertible Notes, and the 2023 Convertible Note (collectively the “Convertible Notes”) were all converted into equity at the Closing of the Business Combination.

The Company elected the fair value option for the Convertible Notes and the Envoy Bridge Note under ASC 825 with changes in fair value recorded in earnings each reporting period. The Company recorded an expense of $8.8 million and $18.1 million related to the conversion of the convertible notes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

2024 Term Loan

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “2024 Term Loan”) with a principal amount of up to $10.0 million to GAT Funding, LLC (“GAT”), an entity controlled by a member of the Company’s board of directors and a controlling stockholder of the Company. Upon meeting certain conditions, the Company may draw funds in $2.5 million tranches under the 2024 Term Loan up to $10.0 million until the second anniversary of the 2024 Term Loan. The 2024 Term Loan has a five-year term and matures on February 27, 2029. The principal amount drawn bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and is paid quarterly in arrears after the second anniversary of the 2024 Term Loan. Interest will accrue and is not payable for the first two years of the term and will compound and be added to the principal balance of the 2024 Term Loan both on the first and second anniversary of the 2024 Term Loan. The Company may prepay the accrued interest and principal of the 2024 Term Loan without penalty, with 10 days’ notice. At closing, the Company drew $5.0 million in principal from the 2024 Term Loan. In May 2024, the Company requested and received an additional advance of $2.5 million. As of June 30, 2024, the balance outstanding on the 2024 Term Loan was $7.3 million, net of discount.

As a commitment fee, the Company is required to issue GAT warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of its Common Stock for each $2.5 million of principal funded under the 2024 Term Loan. The warrants will have an exercise price equal to the closing price on the date of funding of the applicable tranche and a termination date as of the third anniversary of the initial closing for all warrants. At closing of the initial funding, the Company issued GAT warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.24 per share. The 2024 Term Loan was accounted for as a conventional debt instrument and is accounted for in accordance with ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40). The warrants expire on February 27, 2027. As a result of the issuance of the warrants, which met the criteria for equity classification under applicable U.S. GAAP, the Company recorded a debt discount and additional paid-in capital of $179 thousand representing the fair value of the warrants on the issuance date. Subsequently, this debt discount is being recorded to interest expense, related party over the term of the 2024 Term Loan. As a result of the additional draw made on May 23, 2024, the Company issued an additional 250,000 warrants. As a result of this issuance, the Company recorded a corresponding debt discount and additional paid-in capital of $197 thousand.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, the Company recognized approximately $132 thousand and $168 thousand of interest expense associated with the 2024 Term Loan, which includes amortization of the debt discount.

10. Common Stock

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was authorized to issue 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock. 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 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 FDA’s approval of the Acclaim CI (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)

On February 27, 2024, the Company issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of its Common Stock to a related party in conjunction with the 2024 Term Loan, and on May 23, 2024, the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 250,000 shares of its Common Stock also in conjunction with the 2024 Term Loan (see Note 9).

11. Series A Preferred Stock

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 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 has outstanding an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 3) as of June 30, 2024.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have 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 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 June 30, 2024 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 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 Common Stock. In this case, each share of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be converted into the number of shares of 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 was required to 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% (see Note 5).

There were no dividends declared as of June 30, 2024. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, any dividends arising will accrue and not require timely payment at any time when the Company has less than $10.0 million of net tangible assets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued $2.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in unpaid dividends as a result of the Sponsor Support Agreement.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of any liquidation, deemed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are 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 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, have converted such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 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. 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 completion of the Merger.

On April 17, 2023, the Company’s board of directors adopted a new equity incentive plan, and the plan was approved by the stockholders on September 27, 2023 (hereinafter, the “2023 Equity Incentive Plan”). An aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved and may be issued under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, provided that until such time as certain milestones are achieved, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan is 2,500,000 shares. As of June 30, 2024, there are options for 2,052,239 shares outstanding under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company initially values options at fair value on the grant date. For awards with periodic vesting, the Company recognizes the related expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, which generally vest based on continued service over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to periodic adjustments to ensure that the cumulative amount of expense recognized through the end of any reporting period is at least equal to the portion of the grant date value of the award that has vested through that date. Certain stock options granted in 2023 under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan have a certain percentage that are exercisable at any time following the date of grant and then vest based on continuous service over three years and expire ten years from the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

	Options			Weighted- average Exercise Price per Option		Weighted- average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2023		1,967,734		$	2.38		9.8	$	—
Granted		114,505		$	1.35 – $1.71		n/a	$	n/a
Terminated		(30,000	)	$	1.35		n/a	$	n/a
Outstanding at June 30, 2024		2,052,239		$	2.36		9.3	$	87,501
Exercisable and vested at June 30, 2024		962,082		$	2.40		9.3	$	—

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 $1.3 million and $562 thousand as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The rent expense was immaterial for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Company received several loan financings from stockholders between 2012 to 2024 (see Note 9).

14. Commitment and Contingencies

The Company is party to various litigation matters arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

On November 14, 2023, the Company, Whitney Haring-Smith (the former chief executive officer and a former director of the Company), Daniel Hirsch (the former chief financial officer of the Company), and Anzu SPAC GP I LLC were named as defendants in a complaint filed by Atlas Merchant Capital SPAC Fund I LP (“Atlas”) in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Atlas Complaint”). The Atlas Complaint alleges that Atlas properly requested redemption of its shares of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the Company’s business combination transaction and was prevented from redeeming such shares by the Company and the other defendants. Atlas seeks redemption of the shares of Common Stock in the amount of approximately $9.4 million, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Company has standard indemnification obligations to Dr. Haring-Smith and Mr. Hirsch. The Company believes that the lawsuit is meritless and has been defending this matter vigorously. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this legal proceeding.

The Company has business liability insurance to cover litigation costs exceeding $50 thousand. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has not recorded any 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.

15. Net Loss per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(3,947	)	$	(13,246	)	$	(10,217	)	$	(26,499	)
Less: Cumulative preferred stock dividend		(1,365	)		—			(2,730	)		—
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(5,312	)	$	(13,246	)	$	(12,947	)	$	(26,499	)

Denominator:
Weighted average common stock outstanding, basic and diluted		19,599,982			10,122,581			19,599,982			10,122,581
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted	$	(0.27	)		(1.31	)	$	(0.66	)		(2.62	)

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 Common Stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to stockholders of 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:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Stock options		2,052,239		263,000		2,052,239		263,000
Series A Preferred Stock (as converted to common stock)		3,913,043		—		3,913,043		—
Warrants to purchase common stock (publicly traded)		14,166,666		—		14,166,666		—
Shortfall Warrants		3,874,394				3,874,394
Warrants to purchase common stock (related party)		750,000		—		750,000		—
		24,756,342		263,000		24,756,342		263,000

16. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all events occurring through 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:

Loan from Related Party

Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company advanced an additional tranche of $2.5 million under the 2024 Term Loan discussed in Note 9, Debt (Related Party). As a commitment fee, the Company issued GAT warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share.

Repricing of Warrants

The Company previously issued to Meteora warrants to purchase 3,874,394 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement (the “Shortfall Warrants”). As issued, the Shortfall Warrants had an exercise price determined based on the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock, subject to a $4.00 price floor (the “Exercise Price Floor”), which Exercise Price Floor is adjustable for certain issuances of its Common Stock at a price below the then-current Exercise Price Floor. On July 29, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement to reduce the Exercise Price Floor to $2.00 with respect to 1,000,000 of the Shortfall Warrants and $3.00 for an additional 1,000,000 Shortfall Warrants, with the Exercise Price Floor remaining at $4.00 for the remainder of the Shortfall Warrants.

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 CI”), our lead product candidate.

We believe that the Acclaim CI 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 CI is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim CI will only be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician. The Acclaim CI received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in 2019.

Our first product, the Esteem® Fully Implanted Active Middle Ear Implant (“Esteem FI-AMEI”), was created and received FDA approval in 2010. The Esteem FI-AMEI 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 FI-AMEI 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 FI-AMEI 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 FI-AMEI 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 CI, a fully implanted cochlear implant. We believe the Acclaim CI gives us the 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 CI is, we must first receive FDA approval via the premarket application approval process.

In order for our pivotal clinical study to begin, we are required to obtain an Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) from the FDA. We submitted an IDE application at the end of the first quarter of 2024. Due to some pending testing and the desire to continue interactive conversations with the FDA, we decided to convert the IDE to a “pre-submission” (sometimes referred to a Q-submission). This conversion allows for the pending testing to be completed and interactive feedback to be received from the FDA. We anticipate re-submitting an updated IDE application in the third or fourth quarter of 2024. FDA approval of the IDE is not guaranteed, and each step of the process may take longer than we have planned. We view the interactions with the FDA as a positive development that may increase the chances of a successful Premarket Approval (“PMA”) submission, which is planned to be filed at the conclusion of the pivotal clinical study. We believe it is advantageous that the pre-submission will allow us further discussion with the FDA now, prior to pivotal clinical trial beginning. We currently anticipate obtaining FDA approval of our PMA by the end of 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 net losses of approximately $3.9 million and $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $10.2 million and $26.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $270.2 million and $257.2 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We have funded our operations to date primarily through the issuance of equity securities, term debt 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 included elsewhere in this Report). We also received $7.5 million proceeds from the 2024 Term Loan (see Note 9, “Debt (Related Party)”), and approximately $1.7 million from the sale of shares from our Forward Purchase Agreement. 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 CI 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 CI 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 CI 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 CI implant product and our efforts to obtain regulatory approval and commercialize the Acclaim CI implant product.

The Acclaim CI 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 CI, 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, interest rates, 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 Common Stock. The occurrence of any such events may lead to reduced disposable income which could adversely affect the number of Esteem FI-AMEI implants and replacement components sold as a result of customer and patient reluctance to seek treatment due to financial considerations.

Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including 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.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

Currently, we derive substantially all our revenue from the sale of the Esteem FI-AMEI implants and replacement components to Esteem FI-AMEI implants. We enter arrangements with patients to provide them with the Esteem FI-AMEI 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 FI-AMEI are not expected to be more than a few per year and may be as low as zero. Although we believe it to be unlikely, Esteem FI-AMEI 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 CI implant product, we expect that Acclaim CI revenues will more than exceed our Esteem FI-AMEI revenue. We are targeting FDA approval for the Acclaim CI in 2026.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing and distribution of the Esteem FI-AMEI 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 expenses (“R&D”) consist of costs incurred for our research activities, primarily our discovery efforts and the development of the Acclaim CI implant product. We also incur R&D costs related to continuing to support, and improving upon where possible, our Esteem FI-AMEI 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 expenses incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were for the development of the Acclaim CI.

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 CI 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 CI implant product and prepare the product for possible commercialization, should it gain regulatory approval(s). If the Acclaim CI implant product enters later stages of clinical trials and ongoing development, the product will generally incur higher R&D expenses 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 CI 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.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and other related costs for personnel in our sales and marketing functions. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in the foreseeable future as we increase our administrative personnel to support our continuing growth.

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 continue 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 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. Effective September 29, 2023, the convertible notes (related party) were converted upon completion of the Business Combination.

Gain From Changes in Fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement Put Option Liability

We recognized the forward purchase agreement put option 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during each reporting period. As of June 30, 2024, we no longer had a forward purchase agreement put option liability.

Gain/(Loss) From Changes in Fair Value of the Forward Purchase Agreement Warrant Liability

We recognized 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during each reporting period.

Gain/(Loss) From Changes in Fair Value of the Publicly Traded Warrant Liability

We recognized the publicly traded 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during each reporting period.

Interest Expense, Related Party

Interest expense, related party consists of accrued interest for the 2024 Term Loan held by a related party, as well as amortization of the debt discount recorded as a result of the warrants issued with the 2024 Term Loan. Amortization of the debt discount is recorded over the term of the 2024 Term Loan.

Other Expense

Our other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of changes in fair value of our related party warrant liability.

Net Revenues

Net revenues increased by $5 thousand and decreased by $14 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 is attributable to the sale of two Esteem FI-AMEI units during the period, which offset reduced battery sales due to supply chain issues. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to a decrease in the number of battery replacements due to supply chain issues during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased by $83 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is attributable to manufacturing and materials scrap for the Esteem FI-AMEI product of $62 thousand, additional contractors for manufacturing technicians and quality inspections of $20 thousand and supplies for our newly expanded manufacturing space of $11 thousand with offsets from other costs of $10 thousand.

Cost of goods sold increased by $61 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is attributable to manufacturing and materials scrap for the Esteem FI-AMEI product of $13 thousand, additional contractors for manufacturing technicians and quality inspections of $23 thousand, supplies for our newly expanded manufacturing space of $14 thousand and personnel costs of $11 thousand for additional employees in manufacturing and quality inspection.

Research and Development Expenses

The following table summarizes the components of our R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Change in						Six Months Ended June 30,				Change in
(In thousands, except for percentages)	2024		2023		$			%			2024		2023		$			%
R&D product costs	$	1,181	$	1,227	$	(46	)		(3.7	)%	$	2,062	$	2,241		(179	)		(8.0	)%
R&D personnel costs		1,345		908		437			48.1	%		2,775		1,776		999			56.3	%
Other R&D costs		65		18		47			261.1	%		114		63		51			81.0	%
Total research and development costs	$	2,591	$	2,153	$	438			20.3	%	$	4,951	$	4,080		871			21.3	%

R&D expenses increased approximately $438 thousand and $871 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to an increase in headcount and contractors in our engineering and clinical departments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as we increased headcount across our clinical and cochlear departments in preparation for our pivotal clinical study for the Acclaim CI. This includes increases due to non-cash stock option compensation of $40 thousand and $68 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $114 thousand and $68 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily due to increased legal and professional fees to secure insurance reimbursement for the Esteem FI-AMEI product, offset by a reduction in headcount in that department.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $250 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily due to reduced professional and legal fees related to the closing of the Business Combination in 2023 of $951 thousand, and was partially offset by increases in personnel-related costs of $198 thousand, directors and officers insurance of $175 thousand, non-cash stock option expenses of $99 thousand, loss on lease modification of $135 thousand, and other operating costs of $94 thousand, for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

General and administrative expenses increased $493 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to increases in personnel-related costs of $356 thousand, directors and officers insurance of $348 thousand, non cash stock option expenses of $192 thousand, loss on lease modification of $135 thousand, and other operating costs of $112 thousand, and was partially offset by reduced professional and legal fees related to the closing of the Business Combination in 2023 of $650 thousand, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Loss From Changes in Fair Value of Convertible Notes Payable (Related Party)

The loss from changes in fair value of convertible notes payable decreased $8.8 million and $18.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively due to the conversion of the notes payable to common stock as a result of the completion of our Business Combination during September 2023.

Change in Fair Value of Forward Purchase Agreement Put Option Liability

We entered into a forward purchase agreement in September 2023 as part of our Business Combination. During the first quarter of 2024, the shares associated with the forward purchase agreement were sold resulting in a gain of $103 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Change in Fair Value of Forward Purchase Agreement Warrant Liability

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the forward purchase agreement entered into in September of 2023 as part of our Business Combination decreased by $0.2 million. The decrease in value was due to a decrease in our stock price. This decrease in value resulted in a gain of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the forward purchase agreement entered into in September of 2023 as part of our Business Combination increased by $18 thousand. The increase in value was due to an increase in our stock price. These increases in value resulted in a loss of $18 thousand and for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Change in Fair Value of Publicly Traded Warrant Liability

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the fair value of our publicly traded warrants decreased by approximately $0.8 million and increased by approximately $0.4 million, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the issuance of the publicly traded warrants as part of our Business Combination in September of 2023. The change in fair value is the result of an increase of approximately $0.03 and a decrease of $0.06 in the closing share price for those warrants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $132 thousand and $168 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the interest cost associated with our 2024 Term Loan which was entered into on February 27, 2024.

Other Income

Other income decreased by $105 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to the changes in the fair value of the related party warrant liability.

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 and fund the process of FDA trials. We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from raising funds from issuing equity securities, convertible notes, a term loan and proceeds from the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, we had $1.7 million and $4.2 million of cash, and $2.5 million and zero in undrawn principal from our 2024 Term Loan, respectively.

We proactively manage our access to capital to support liquidity and continued growth. Our sources of capital include sales of the Esteem FI-AMEI implants and replacement components and issuances of our Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, warrants, convertible debt, term 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 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 CI 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 our Form 10-K titled, “Risk factors” – Risks Relating to Our Business and Operations.”

Cash Flows

The following table presents a summary of our cash flow for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(10,754	)	$	(7,045	)
Investing activities		(899	)		(70	)
Financing activities		9,183			7,000
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(2	)		—
Net decrease in cash	$	(2,472	)	$	(115	)

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily used to fund a net loss of approximately $10.2 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses in aggregate amount of approximately $0.2 million and approximately $0.8 million of cash used from net changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. The change primarily relates to increases in inventories and prepaid expenses as well as an increase in accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in the operating lease liabilities (related party). 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 our Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors.”

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily used to fund a net loss of approximately $26.5 million, adjusted for non-cash gains in aggregate amount of approximately $18.3 million, and approximately $1.1 million of cash outflows from net changes in the level of operating assets and liabilities, primarily related to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses partially offset by decreases in prepaid expenses and other current assets and warranty liability.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $0.9 million and consisted of purchases of property and equipment, and increase to the deposit on equipment not yet placed in service.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $0.1 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 six months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.2 million. This increase was primarily driven by the $7.5 million proceeds from the 2024 Term Loan as well as the receipt of $1.7 million from the sale of common stock associated with the forward purchase agreement.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $7.0 million and consisted of proceeds 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. Our obligations for leases are described in Note 7, “Operating Leases”, and further information on our open litigation matters, are described in Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies” of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 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 and issuing convertible notes and term loans from stockholders. We also accrued interest on the term loans to a stockholder on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024. For further information on the related party arrangements refer to Note 5 “Restricted Cash”, Note 7 “Operating Leases”, Note 9 “Debt (Related Party)” and Note 13 “Related Party Transactions” of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed from those described in our 2023 Form 10-K, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Fair Value Measurements

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 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 our Level 3 instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Forward Purchase Agreement Warrant Liability		Forward Purchase Agreement Put Option Liability
Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	4	$	103
Change in fair value		18		(103	)
Balance as of June 30, 2024	$	22	$	—

The fair values of the forward purchase agreement warrant liability and the forward purchase agreement put option 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 unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. 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 included elsewhere in this Report.

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

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 June 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2024, 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

As previously disclosed on the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, management concluded the following material weaknesses existed and were in the process of being remediated as of June 30, 2024:

●

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 cybersecurity and 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 around the interpretation and accounting treatment of the valuation of a material liability and the forward purchase agreement.

●

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 its financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We have continued our 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 maintaining effective controls to ensure appropriate accounting for complex technical arrangements, such as the Forward Purchase Agreement;

●

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; 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 our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our 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.

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 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.

Exhibit 10.1

NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

ENVOY MEDICAL, INC.

Warrant Shares: 250,000

Issue Date: May 23, 2024

THIS STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, GAT Funding, LLC or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on February 28, 2026 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Envoy Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to 250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Common Shares,” and, the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Promissory Note (the “Note”), dated February 28, 2024, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

Section 2. Exercise.

a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). In connection with delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be $3.04, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

c) Mechanics of Exercise.

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to credit the account of the Holder’s, or its designee’s account, with the transfer agent.

ii. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

iii. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution. To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Warrant Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Warrant Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

e) Notice to Holder. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

a) Transferability. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant, Holder will give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of Holder’s counsel, or other evidence if reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect). Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify Holder that Holder may transfer this Warrant in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 4(a) that the opinion of counsel for Holder, or other evidence, is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify Holder promptly after such determination has been made. Upon an effective transfer, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

Section 5. No Registration; Restricted Shares. Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 6. Miscellaneous.

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a business day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding business day.

d) Authorized Shares.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Warrant Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Warrant Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Note.

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Note, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Note.

i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Warrant Shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
