Note A—Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
    Conformis, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, collectively, the “Company”) is a medical technology company that uses its proprietary iFit Image-to-Implant technology platform to develop, manufacture and sell joint replacement implants that are individually sized and shaped, which the Company refers to as personalized, individualized, or sometimes as customized, to fit and conform to each patient’s unique anatomy. The Company also offers Identity Imprint, a new line of total knee replacement products that utilizes a proprietary algorithm to select the implant size that most closely meets the geometric and anatomic requirements of the patient’s knee. Conformis’ sterile, just-in-time, Surgery-in-a-Box delivery system is available with all of its implants and personalized, single-use instruments. The Company’s proprietary iFit technology platform is potentially applicable to all major joints.
 
    The Company was incorporated in Delaware and commenced operations in 2004. The Company introduced its iUni and iDuo in 2007, its iTotal CR in 2011, its iTotal PS in 2015, its Conformis hip system in 2018, and its Identity Imprint in 2021. The Company has its corporate offices in Billerica, Massachusetts.

Merger Agreement with restor3d, Inc.

On June 22, 2023, the “Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with restor3d, Inc. (“restor3d”) and Cona Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of restor3d (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of restor3d (the “Merger”). The Board also unanimously resolved to recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), each outstanding share of Company common stock, other than shares owned by the Company, restor3d or Merger Sub (which will be cancelled) and shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law, will automatically be converted into the right to receive $2.27 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

If the Merger is consummated, the Company’s common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In connection with the Merger, the vesting of each outstanding restricted stock unit of the Company will accelerate, and the holders of such units will receive an amount per unit equal to the Merger Consideration. All stock options and warrants of the Company that are currently outstanding have a strike price per share greater than the Merger Consideration, and will be cancelled in connection with the Merger without payment, unless exercised prior to consummation of the Merger.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stockholder Approval”), and (ii) no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order is in effect preventing the consummation of the Merger. Moreover, each party’s obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to certain other conditions, including (a) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality exceptions), (b) the other party’s compliance in all material respects with its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and (c) in the case of restor3d and Merger Sub only, the absence of any event, change, or effect that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement). A special meeting of the stockholders of the Company is scheduled to be held on August 31, 2023 to vote on, among other things, a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions, the parties anticipate that the Merger will be consummated by the end of the third quarter of 2023.

7


The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. Until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to conduct its business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business and has agreed to certain other operating covenants and to not take certain specified actions prior to the consummation of the Merger, as set forth more fully in the Merger Agreement. The Company has also agreed to convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval. In addition, the Merger Agreement requires that, subject to certain exceptions, the Board recommend that the Company’s stockholders approve the Merger Agreement.

In addition, the Company has agreed not to initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage takeover proposals from third parties. The Company has also agreed not to provide non-public information to, or, subject to certain exceptions, engage in discussions or negotiations with, third parties regarding takeover proposals. Notwithstanding these restrictions, prior to the receipt of the Stockholder Approval, the Company may under certain circumstances provide non-public information to and participate in discussions or negotiations with third parties with respect to takeover proposals.

Prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Board may, among other things, change its recommendation that the stockholders approve the Merger Agreement in connection with a Superior Offer or an Intervening Event (in each case, as defined in the Merger Agreement), or terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into an agreement providing for a Superior Offer, subject, in each case, to complying with notice and other specified conditions, including giving restor3d the opportunity to propose revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement during a period following notice.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and restor3d, including, among others, the right of (1) the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an agreement providing for a Superior Offer (subject to the Company’s compliance with certain obligations under the Merger Agreement related to such Superior Offer and such termination) and (2) restor3d to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Board changes its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that under specified circumstances, including in the event of termination by the Company to enter into an agreement providing for a Superior Offer, the Company will be required to pay restor3d a termination fee of $0.9 million and provide restor3d with a non-exclusive license to the Company’s patents except with respect to certain knee and/or hip applications.

Liquidity and operations

    These consolidated financial statements as of March 31,June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022, and related interim information contained within the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
    
    Since the Company’s inception in June 2004, it has financed its operations primarily through private placements of preferred stock, its initial public offering in July 2015, other equity financings, debt and convertible debt financings, equipment purchase loans, patent licensing, and product revenue beginning in 2007. The Company has recurring losses and cash used in operating activities for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022. At March 31,June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $590.9$603.9 million and cash and cash equivalents of $37.8$26.2 million, and $0.5 million in restricted cash allocated to a lease deposit.

The Company currently expects that its existing cash and cash equivalentsIn addition, as of thesuch date, hereof and anticipated revenue from operations will enable the Company to fundowed $21 million under its operations, capital expenditure requirements and debt service for the 12 months following the date of this filing. However, for the Company to meet its long-term operating plan, the Company expects that revenue growth, margin improvements and leveraging operating expenses will be necessary. To enhance its liquidity position, the Company has taken measures to manage its expenses, will continue to monetize the Company’s intellectual property, and will evaluate additional equity or debt financing opportunities. Whether the Company ultimately consummates such an additional equity and/or debt financing will depend on many factors, including market conditions. It cannot be assured that the Company will be successful in raising such additional financing, or in achieving the revenue growth, margin improvements and operating expense leverage.

On October 26, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock(the “Reverse Stock Split”) which was implemented in November 2022. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated. There were no fractional shares issued as a result of the Reverse Split. All fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Split were rounded up to the nearest whole number. The total number of the Company’s authorized shares of preferred stock was not affected by the foregoing. However, the total number of the Company's authorized common stock was decreased to 20,000,000 after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split. For further information regarding this Reverse Stock Split, see "Note J—Stockholders' Equity".

On November 22, 2021, the Company and its subsidiary, ImaTx, Inc., entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”)secured credit agreement with MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”), as agent, and certain lender parties thereto.thereto. The New Credit Agreement credit agreement provides for a five-year, $21 million secured term loan facility (the “Term Facility”). facility. However, as further described below under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” if the proposed merger transaction with restor3d is not consummated, absent us raising additional capital, MidCap could allege that a material adverse effect has occurred under the credit agreement, which could permit MidCap to accelerate amounts due under the agreement.

The New Credit Agreement refinancedrecurring losses and replaceduncertainties about the Company’s prior 2019 secured credit facility with Innovatus (the “2019 Secured Loan Agreement”).Company's ability to raise capital raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date to these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of presentation and use of estimates
 
    The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates used in these consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, inventory reserves, impairment assessments, income tax reserves and related allowances, and the lives of property and equipment. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

    The accompanying Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31,June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022, and related interim information contained within the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31,June 30, 2023, results of operations for and stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022, and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022. The results for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any interim period.


Note B—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    The Company's financial results are affected by the selection and application of accounting policies and methods. There were no material changes in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 to the application of significant accounting policies and estimates as described in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Concentrations of credit risk and other risks and uncertainties
     Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains the majority of its cash with accredited financial institutions which mitigates potential risks related to concentration. The Company had $0.7$0.6 million as of March 31,June 30, 2023 and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2022 held in foreign bank accounts that are not federally insured. In addition, the cash held in U.S bank accounts exceeds the federally insured limits.
 
    The Company and its contract manufacturers rely on sole source suppliers and service providers for certain components. A shortage or stoppage of shipments of the materials or components that the Company purchases could result in a delay in production or adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

    For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, no customer represented greater than 10% of total revenue. For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, no customer represented greater than 10% of total revenue. As of March 31,June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, there was no customer that represented greater than 10% of the total net receivable balance.

Principles of consolidation
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries including ImaTx, Inc., ConforMIS Europe GmbH, ConforMIS UK Limited, ConforMIS Hong Kong Limited, Conformis India LLP, and Conformis Cares LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
     The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and money market accounts. Demand deposits and money market accounts are carried at cost which approximates their fair value. The Company has recorded restricted cash of $0.5 million as of March 31,June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Restricted cash consisted of security provided for lease obligations.

    The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Fair value of financial instruments
    Certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents (excluding money market funds), accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity. The carrying value of the debt approximates fair value because the interest rate under the obligation approximates market rates of interest available to the Company for similar instruments.
 
Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses
     Accounts receivable consist of billed and unbilled amounts due from medical facilities or independent distributors (the "Customer"). Upon completion of a procedure, revenue is recognized and an unbilled receivable is recorded. Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), an enforceable contract is met either at or prior to the procedure being performed. Upon receipt of a purchase order from the Customer, the billed receivable is recorded and the unbilled receivable is reversed. As a result, the unbilled receivable balance fluctuates based on the timing of the Company's receipt of purchase orders from the medical facilities. In estimating whether accounts receivable can be collected, the Company performs evaluations of customers and continuously monitors collections and payments and estimates an allowance for credit losses based on the aging of the underlying invoices, collections experience to date and any specific collection issues that have been identified. The allowance for credit losses is recorded in the period in which revenue is recorded or when collection risk is identified.

Inventories
     Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process components and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in first-out method, or net realizable value. The Company regularly reviews its inventory quantities on hand and related cost and records a provision for any excess or obsolete inventory based on its estimated forecast of product demand and existing product configurations. The Company also reviews its inventory value to determine if it reflects the lower of cost or market, based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to inventory items sold at negative gross margin, purchase commitments and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. During the three and six months ended March 31, June 30,
10


2023, the Company recognized provisions of $0.3$0.6 million and $1.6$0.9 million, respectively, to adjust its inventory value to the lower of cost or net realizable value for excess and obsolete reserves, and estimated unused product related to known and potential cancelled cases, which is included in cost of revenue.
8


During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized provisions of $0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, to adjust its inventory value to the lower of cost or net realizable value for excess and obsolete reserves, and estimated unused product related to known and potential cancelled cases, which is included in cost of revenue.

Property and equipment
     Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their useful life or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter. Assets capitalized under capital leases are amortized in accordance with the respective class of assets and the amortization is included with depreciation expense. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Long-lived assets
     The Company tests impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. If changes in circumstances lead the Company to believe that any of its long-lived assets may be impaired, the Company will test the asset group for recoverability, by evaluating whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows, including estimated residual value, generated from the asset group are sufficient to support the carrying value of the assets. During the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2023, the Company had experienced a significant decrease in its stock price and incurred current-period operating losses associated with its asset group, and as such, an assessment for recoverability was performed. DuringBased on the three months ended March 31, 2023,assessment, the Company recognized $0.1 million indeemed its asset group to be recoverable, and no impairment charges related to unused manufacturing equipment and building improvements.were recognized for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Leases

    The Company has elected not to separate non-lease components from all classes of leases. Non-lease components have been accounted for as part of the single lease component to which they are related.

    Leases with an anticipated term, inclusive of renewals of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

    The Company has elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. This practical expedient enables an entity to use hindsight in determining the lease term when considering options to extend and terminate leases as well as purchase the underlying assets. The operating lease right-of-use assets are subsequently assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company's accounting policy for long-lived assets.

Revenue Recognition

Product Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when 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”). When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of March 31,June 30, 2023. Payment is typically due between 30 and 60 days from invoice.

11


    To the extent that the transaction price includes variable consideration, such as prompt-pay discounts or rebates, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value to which the Company expects to be entitled. 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. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company's estimates. 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 (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.
    
9


    If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on observable prices or a cost-plus margin approach when one is not available. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. The Company's performance obligations are satisfied at the same time, typically upon surgery, therefore, product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the surgery. Since the Company does not have contracts that extend beyond a duration of one year, there is no transaction price related to performance obligations that have not been satisfied.

    Certain customer contracts include terms that allow the Company to bill for orders that are cancelled after the product is manufactured and could result in revenue recognition over time. However, the impact of adopting over time revenue recognition was deemed immaterial.

Under the long-term Distribution Agreement with Stryker, the Company supplies patient specific instrumentation to Stryker and revenue is recognized at a point in time, that is, when Stryker obtains control of the products.

    Unconditional rights to consideration are reported as receivables. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The Company records a contract liability when there is an obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. As of January 1, 2023, the contract liability balance was $0.2 million. There was no contract liability balance recorded as of January 1, 2022. At March 31,June 30, 2023, the Company had $0.7$0.6 million of contract liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets derived from contracts with customers. There were no contract assets recorded at March 31,June 30, 2023. The Company did not have any contract assets or liabilities recorded at March 31,June 30, 2022.

Royalty and Licensing Revenue Recognition

    The Company receives ongoing sales-based royalties under its license agreement (the "MicroPort License Agreement") with MicroPort Orthopedics Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MicroPort Scientific Corporation, (collectively, "MicroPort"). Royalty revenue is recorded at the expected value of the royalty revenue.

On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with Bodycad Laboratories, Inc. ("Bodycad") and Exactech, Inc. ("Exactech"), collectively, (the "Defendants"), pursuant to which the parties have agreed to terms for resolving all of their existing patent disputes. In consideration of the licenses, releases, covenants and other immunities granted by the Company to the Defendants, the Company received an upfront payment following the execution of the Settlement and License Agreement, and will receive an additional payment by June 30, 2023. The agreement provides for the grant of the licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon receipt of full payment from. These individual rights are not accounted for as separate performance obligations as (i) the nature of the promise, within the context of the agreement, is to transfer combined items to which the promised rights are inputs and (ii) the Company's promise to transfer each individual right described above to the Defendants is not separately identifiable from other promises in the agreement. As a result, the Company accounts for the promises in the agreement as a single performance obligation. The Defendants will legally obtainobtained control of the licenses and other rights upon full payment to Conformis. As such, the earnings process will bewas completed and revenue will bewas recognized upon receipt of the full payment, and all other revenue recognition criteria had been met within the scope of ASC 606.

On April 26, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with Exactech, pursuant to which the parties have agreed to terms for resolving all of their existing patent disputes. In consideration of the licenses, releases, covenants and other immunities granted by the Company to Exactech, the Company received a payment within 30 days following the execution of the agreement. The agreement provides for the grant of the licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon receipt of full payment from Exactech. These individual rights are not accounted for as separate performance obligations as (i) the nature of the promise, within the context of the agreement, is to transfer combined items to which the promised rights are inputs and (ii) the Company's promise to transfer each individual right described above to Exactech is not separately identifiable from other promises in the agreement. As a result, the Company accounts for the promises in the agreement as a single performance obligation. Exactech legally obtained control of the licenses and other rights upon full payment to Conformis and the completion of other deliverables.

On April 8, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Paragon 28, Inc. ("Paragon 28"), granting Paragon 28 a non-exclusive license under a subset of the Company's U.S. patents for the use of patient-specific instruments with off-the-shelf implants in Paragon 28’s APEX 3D Total Ankle Replacement System. In consideration for the license, the Company received $0.5 million upon execution of the License Agreement, another $0.5 million in October 2021, and received an additional $0.5 million from Paragon 28 on April 7, 2022. In connection with this License Agreement, the Company recognized revenue of $1.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The remaining $0.5 million was recognized as revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

10


On November 8, 2022 the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with Medacta USA, ("Medacta"), pursuant to which both parties have agreed to terms for resolving all of their existing patent disputes. In consideration of the licenses, releases, covenants and other immunities granted by the Company to Medacta, Medacta was required to pay the Company a fee promptly after execution of the Settlement and License Agreement, which was received in full on December 12, 2022. The agreement provides for the grant of the licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon receipt of the payment from Medacta. These individual rights are not accounted for as separate performance obligations as (i) the nature of the promise, within the context of the agreement, is to transfer combined items to which the promised rights are inputs and (ii) the Company's promise to transfer each individual right described above to Medacta is not separately identifiable from other promises in the agreement. As a result, the Company accounts for the promises in the agreement as a single performance obligation. Medacta legally obtained control of the license and other rights upon payment to Conformis. As such, the earnings process is complete and revenue was recognized upon receipt of the payment, and all other revenue recognition criteria had been met within the scope of ASC 606. In connection with the Settlement and License Agreement, the Company recognized licensing revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. See “Note H—Commitments and Contingencies, Legal proceedings” for further discussion of the Medacta settlement.

Disaggregation of Revenue
See "Note K—Segment and Geographic Data" for disaggregated product revenue by geography and product category.

Variable Consideration
    Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and which result from rebates that are offered within contracts between the Company and some of its customers. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract
    The Company currently expenses commissions paid for obtaining product sales. Sales commissions are paid following the manufacture and implementation of the implant. Due to the period being less than one year, the Company will apply the practical expedient, whereby the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing expense. Further, the Company incurs costs to buy, build, replenish, restock, sterilize and replace the reusable instrumentation trays associated with the sale of its products and services. The reusable instrument trays are not contract specific and are used for multiple contracts and customers, therefore does not meet the criteria to capitalize under ASC 606.

Shipping and handling costs
     Shipping and handling activities prior to the transfer of control to the customer (e.g., when control transfers after delivery) are considered fulfillment activities, and not performance obligations. Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handling are classified as revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred are included in general and administrative expense. Shipping and handling expense was $1.1$1.0 million and $1.4 million for each of the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022, and $2.2 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

11


Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities
    The Company’s policy is to present taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities on a net basis and not to include tax amounts in revenue.

Research and development expense
    The Company’s research and development costs consist of engineering, product development, quality assurance, clinical and regulatory expense. These costs primarily relate to employee compensation, including salary, benefits and stock-based compensation. The Company also incurs costs related to consulting fees, revenue share, materials and supplies, and marketing studies, including data management and associated travel expense. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising expense
     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, which are included in sales and marketing. Advertising expense was $0.3$0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Segment reporting
     Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance of the segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is its chief executive officer. The Company’s chief executive officer reviews financial information presented on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company has one business segment and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for products or components below the aggregate Company level. Accordingly, in light of the Company’s current product offerings, management has determined that the primary form of internal reporting is aligned with the offering of the Conformis personalized joint replacement products and that the Company operates as one segment. See “Note K—Segment and Geographic Data.”
      
Foreign currency translation and transactions
     The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates at the balance sheet date, and income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the quarter. Net translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany balances not of a long-term investment nature, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
14


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 consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

    In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all reasonably available positive and negative evidence, including recent earnings, expectations of future taxable income and the character of that income. In estimating future taxable income, the Company relies upon assumptions and estimates of future activity including the reversal of temporary differences. Presently, the Company believes that a full valuation allowance is required to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
12


    The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from these positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company reviews its tax positions on an annual basis and more frequently as facts surrounding tax positions change. Based on these future events, the Company may recognize uncertain tax positions or reverse current uncertain tax positions, the impact of which would affect the consolidated financial statements.

    The Company has operations in the U.S., Germany, the United Kingdom, and India. The operating results of German operations will be permanently reinvested in that jurisdiction. As a result, the Company has only provided for income taxes at local rates when required.

    The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $18,000$31,000 and $34,000$(100,000) for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $13,000 and $(66,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022, a cumulative balance of $6,000$8,000 and $79,000$45,000 of interest and penalties had been accrued, respectively. Please note that as result of the conclusion of a 2017 - 2019 Germany tax audit, the Company has reversed the respective uncertain tax positions for those years, resulting in a reduction of interest and penalties, as they now apply to only tax years 2020 - 2022.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was enacted on August 16, 2022. Based on review of the IRA, the Company does not expect any impact to its tax provision. In particular, the Company does not expect to pay Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) in future years based on its projected losses and not reaching the income thresholds. The IRA introduces a 15% CAMT for corporations whose average annual adjusted financial statement income for any consecutive three-tax-year period preceding the tax year exceeds $1 billion starting in 2023.

Stock-based compensation
     The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation ("ASC 718").  ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees and consultants, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted-average fair value of options granted and recognizes the compensation expense of stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.
     
    The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model is affected by the stock price, exercise price, and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility of the stock, expected life of the option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends on the stock. The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value the awards at each grant date and if factors change and different assumptions are utilized, stock-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what has been recorded in the past. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense.

Net loss per share
     The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards    

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which modifies the measurement approach for credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis from an 'incurred loss' method to an 'expected loss' method. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” ASU 2019-11 is an accounting pronouncement that amends ASU 2016-13. The ASU 2019-11 amendment provides clarity and improves the codification to ASU 2016-13. The Company adopted these ASUs as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of these ASUs has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Note G—Leases

    The Company maintains its corporate headquarters in a leased building located in Billerica, Massachusetts. The Company maintains its design and manufacturing facilities in leased buildings located in Wilmington, Massachusetts, Wallingford, Connecticut and Hyderabad, India.

    The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of approximately one-to-five years, some of which include one or more options to extend the leases for up to five years per renewal. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the sole discretion of the Company. The amounts disclosed in the Consolidated Balance Sheet pertaining to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured based on management’s current expectations of exercising its available renewal options.

On May 11, 2021, the Company executed an amendment to extend the term of the Wilmington lease through September 30, 2027.

    The Company’s existing leases are not subject to any restrictions or covenants which preclude its ability to pay dividends, obtain financing, or enter into additional leases.

    As of March 31,June 30, 2023, the Company had not entered into any leases which have not yet commenced which would entitle the Company to significant rights or create additional obligations.

    The Company uses either its incremental borrowing rate or the implicit rate in the lease agreement as the basis to calculate the present value of future lease payments at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate the Company would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

Note H—Commitments and Contingencies

License and revenue share agreements

Revenue share agreements
 
    The Company is party to revenue share agreements with certain past and present members of its scientific advisory board under which these advisors agreed to participate on a scientific advisory board and to assist with the development of the Company’s personalized implant products and related intellectual property. These agreements provide that the Company will pay the advisor a specified percentage of the Company’s net revenue, ranging from 0.1% to 1.33%, with respect to the Company’s products on which the advisor made a technical contribution or, in some cases, products covered by one or more claims of one or more Company patents on which the advisor is a named inventor. The specific percentage is determined by reference to product classifications set forth in the agreement and is often tiered based on the level of net revenue collected by the Company on such product sales. The Company’s payment obligations under these agreements typically expire a fixed number of years after expiration or termination of the agreement or a fixed number of years after the first sale of a product, but in some cases expire on a product-by-product basis or expiration of the last to expire of the Company’s patents where the advisor is a named inventor that claims the applicable product.
      
    The Company incurred aggregate revenue share expense including all amounts payable under the Company’s scientific advisory board revenue share agreements of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, representing 2.3%2.1% of product revenue and $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing 2.2% of product revenue and $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, representing 4.0%4.8% of product revenue and $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing 4.3% of product revenue. Revenue share expense is included in research and development.

Other obligations
 
    In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to certain non-cancellable contractual obligations typically related to product royalty and research and development.  The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. There have been no contingent liabilities requiring accrual at March 31,June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
 
Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of the Company's business, the Company is subject to routine risk of litigation, claims and administrative proceedings on a variety of matters, including patent infringement, product liability, securities-related claims, and other claims in the United States and in other countries where the Company sells its products. In the case of matters below in which the Company is a defendant, adverse outcomes of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company is presently unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits or to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses, if any, related to the lawsuits. Legal costs associated with legal proceedings are accrued as incurred.

Proceedings and Complaints Related to the Merger Agreement

On July 27, 2023 and July 31, 2023, respectively, two purported Company stockholders filed separate complaints against the Company and the members of its board directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in cases captioned Burnett v. Conformis Inc., et al., 1:23-cv-06536 (S.D.N.Y.) and Anderson v. Conformis Inc., et al., 1:23-cv-06686 (S.D.N.Y.), respectively. The complaints each assert claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and allege that the proxy statement filed with the SEC on July 24, 2023 regarding the proposed merger transaction with restor3d is materially incomplete and misleading because it fails to disclose certain purportedly material information. Among other remedies, the plaintiffs each seek to enjoin the merger. Between July 24, 2023 and July 27, 2023, counsel to four different purported Company stockholders sent demand letters to counsel for the Company making similar assertions and, in one instance, attaching a draft federal court complaint against the Company and the members of its board directors, asserting similar claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and also seeking to enjoin the merger. On July 31, 2023, the Company also received a demand under Section 220 of the Delaware General
20


Corporation Law seeking formal access to the Company’s books and records related to the proposed merger with restor3d and the process leading up to it.

Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company and the individual defendants believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend against these actions vigorously. If any plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the completion of the merger on the agreed-upon terms, then such injunction may prevent the merger from being completed, or from being completed within the expected time frame. Additional lawsuits against the Company and/or its directors and officers in connection with the merger may be filed in the future. If additional similar complaints are filed or demand letters are sent, absent new or different allegations that are material, the Company will not necessarily announce such additional filings or letters. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the potential loss or range of losses that might be incurred in connection with these matters.

Aetna filed its response to our appeal brief on June 15, 2022. The court is scheduled to hear oral arguments from the parties on the appeal briefs on November 8, 2022.

On January 23, 2023, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit revived the Company's trade libel claims against Aetna, finding that Aetna’s policy claims that the Company's knee implants are “experimental” and “investigational” can plausibly be considered actionable product disparagement, and that the district court had erred in dismissing these claims. The court found that the Company has plausibly claimed that Aetna's policy decision caused orthopedic surgeons to stop prescribing its knee replacement implants. The court also revived the Company's related claims for unfair trade practice and interference with advantageous relations. The court issued a scheduling order on March 2, 2023 and discovery in the lawsuit has commenced. The Company intends to continue pursuing these claims against Aetna, and expects to incur additional legal expenses in 2023 (and potentially thereafter) in connection with doing so. The Company is seeking an award of monetary damages and equitable relief. The Company is not presently able to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter or to reasonably estimate a range of potential damages the Company may be awarded, if successful.

Indemnification
 
    In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations. In accordance with its bylaws, the Company has indemnification obligations to its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. There have been no claims to date and the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that would be expected to enable it to recover a portion of any amounts paid for future claims.

MidCap Term Loan

On November 22, 2021, the Company and its subsidiary, ImaTx, Inc., entered into the New Credit Agreement with MidCap, as agent, and certain lender parties thereto. The New Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $21 million secured Term Facility. The New Credit Agreement refinanced and replaced the prior secured loan agreement with Innovatus that the Company entered into in June 2019 (the “2019 Secured Loan Agreement”), which agreement has been terminated. The full amount of the $21 million Term Facility was borrowed on the date of entering into the New Credit Agreement, and the Company used these proceeds to repay all outstanding obligations under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement.

The New Credit Agreement has a maturity date of November 1, 2026 and requires interest only payments through October 31, 2024, and thereafter, 24 monthly payments of principal and interest resulting in the Term Facility being fully paid by the maturity date. Interest is payable monthly in arrears at a rate of 5.7% per annum plus one month LIBOR subject to a LIBOR floor of 1%. In addition to the interest charged on the Term Facility, the Company is also obligated to pay certain fees, including an origination fee of 0.5% of the term loan due at closing and a final payment fee of 4.0% of the term loan at the time of final payment. On August 1, 2022, the Company entered into a New Credit Agreement, which replaced references to the LIBOR rate within the existing agreement, with the SOFR interest rate, such that interest will be payable monthly in arrears at a rate of 5.7% per annum plus one month SOFR subject to a SOFR floor of 1%. All other terms under the New Credit agreement remain the same.

The obligation of the Company with respect to the New Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest over substantially all of the personal property assets of the Company, including accounts receivable, deposit accounts, intellectual property, investment property, inventory, equipment and equity interests in its subsidiaries. The New Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay subordinated indebtedness and enter into affiliate transactions. In addition, the New Credit Agreement contains a minimum liquidity covenant requiring the Company to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $4.0 million. The New Credit Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the Term Facility may be accelerated.

As of March 31,June 30, 2023, the Company believes that it was not in breach of any covenants under the New Creditsecured credit agreement. However, as further described below under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” if the proposed merger transaction with restor3d is not consummated, absent the Company raising additional capital, MidCap could allege that a material adverse effect has occurred under the credit agreement, which could permit MidCap to accelerate amounts due under the agreement. Should such an event of default actually occur, absent the Company being able to obtain in the near-term, a sufficient level of capital, the Company could need to file for bankruptcy protection, which the Company and its board of directors believe would likely result in current Company stockholders receiving little, if any, value for their shares of Company common stock (and, in any event, an amount substantially less than the $2.27 per share of common stock provided for by the Merger Agreement.

The prepayment of the debt was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and the Company incurred a loss on the extinguishment of $1.1 million. This amount consisted of final payment fee, prepayment penalty and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. The loss on extinguishment of debt was recognized as interest expense within the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Common stock
 
    Common stockholders are entitled to dividends as and when declared by the board of directors, subject to the rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends. There have been no dividends declared to date.

On March 30, 2021, the Company's board of directors adopted a resolution approving a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company's number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 200,000,000 to 300,000,000 (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Company's stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment at the 2021 Annual Meeting. The total number of the Company's authorized common stock was decreased to 20,000,000 after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Reverse Stock Split

24


At the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposed amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock by one of several fixed ratios between 1-for-2 and 1-for-10 and to correspondingly decrease the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The reverse stock split was proposed to address the Company’s current non-compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement.

On October 26, 2022, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders and the Company’s stockholders approved an additional proposed amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock by one of three fixed ratios, 1-for-15, 1-for-20 and 1-for-25, and to correspondingly adjust the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock by the approved ratio, 1-for-9, 1-for-12 and 1-for-15, respectively (the “Updated Reverse Stock Split Proposal”), as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the October 26, 2022 Special Meeting of Stockholders. The Updated Reverse Stock Split Proposal amendment was proposed to address the Company’s current non-compliance at such time with Nasdaq’s $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement.

The Company’s Board of Directors determined to proceed with implementing the 1-for-25 reverse stock split that was approved by shareholder on October 26, 2022, and such 1-for-25 reverse stock split was implemented in November 2022 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) . As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock received one (1) new share of Common Stock for every twenty-five (25) shares such shareholder held immediately prior. Fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split were paid in cash. The Reverse Stock Split also affected the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants and resulted in the number of shares underlying such instruments being reduced and the exercise price being increased proportionately to the Reverse Stock Split ratio.

All share and per share information in this report has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated. The total number of the Company’s authorized shares of preferred stock was not affected by the foregoing. However, the total number of the Company's authorized common stock was decreased to 20,000,000. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, there was no change in the par value per share of $0.00001.

Preferred stock

    The Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.00001 par value, all of which is undesignated. No shares were issued and outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Demand registration rights

    In conjunction with a private placement, on June 25, 2019, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with Innovatus, Innovatus Life Science Offshore Fund I, LP and Innovatus Life Sciences Offshore Fund I-A, LP (collectively, the "Innovatus Investors") pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale the shares held by the Innovatus Investors (the “Shares”) under certain circumstances. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, in the event that the Company receives a written request
22


from the Innovatus Investors that the Company file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Shares, the Company shall promptly but no later than 120 days after the date of such request prepare and file with the SEC such registration statement. The Innovatus Investors have agreed to use best efforts not to make such a request, including by effecting any planned sales of Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to keep such registration statement effective until the date the Shares covered by such registration statement have been sold or may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction. The Company has agreed to be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Shares. The Company has granted the Innovatus Investors customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement. The Innovatus Investors have also granted the Company customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement.

Incidental registration rights

If the Company proposes to file a registration statement in connection with a public offering of its common stock, subject to certain exceptions, the holders of registrable shares are entitled to notice of registration and,
25


subject to specified exceptions, including market conditions, the Company will be required, upon the holder’s request, to register their then held registrable shares.

"At-the-market” program

On March 23, 2020, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Shelf Registration Statement"), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 5, 2020. Under the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company is permitted to sell from time to time up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or units comprised of any combination of these securities, for its own account in one or more offerings. On August 5, 2020, the Company filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, for the sale and issuance of up to $25 million of its common stock and entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock to or through Cowen, acting as agent and/or principal, from time to time, in an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NASDAQ Capital Market or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, in block transactions, or as otherwise directed by the Company. Under the Sales Agreement, Cowen will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Common Stock from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company will pay Cowen a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of any Common Stock sold through Cowen under the Sales Agreement, and we have provided Cowen with customary indemnification rights. Any shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be offered and sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement. The offering of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all Common Stock subject to the Sales Agreement or (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement in accordance with its terms. As of the date hereof, the Company has not sold any shares under the Sales Agreement.

2021 common stock offering

On February 17, 2021, the Company closed an offering of its common stock under the Shelf Registration Statement and issued and sold 3,238,095 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $26.25 per share (adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split), for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $79.6 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering of the shares for general corporate purposes.

Registered direct offering

    On September 23, 2020, the Company and a healthcare-focused institutional investor entered into a subscription agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold (i) 340,483 shares of its common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 340,483 shares of common stock and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 379,718 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 379,718 shares of common stock in a registered direct offering (in each case, adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split) for gross proceeds of approximately $17.3 million. The common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrants were sold as units, each consisting of one share (or one pre-funded warrant to purchase
23


one share of common stock in lieu thereof) and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at an offering price of $23.95 per unit.

    The pre-funded warrants became exercisable immediately upon issuance, have an exercise price of $0.0025 per share and were exercisable until all of the pre-funded warrants were exercised in full. As of March 31, 2021, all pre-funded warrants were exercised. The warrants became exercisable immediately upon issuance, have an exercise price of $21.87 per share (adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split), and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The pre-funded warrants and the warrants each prohibit the holder from exercising any portion thereof to the extent that the holder would own more than 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after exercise. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and pre-funded warrants and the exercise price of the warrants and pre-funded warrants is adjustable in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering, after deducting the placement agent's fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, was approximately $15.9 million.

Warrants

    The Company has issued warrants to certain investors and consultants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Based on the Company’s assessment of the warrants granted in 2013 and 2014 relative to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, such warrants are classified as equity. According to ASC 480, an entity shall classify as a liability any financial instrument, other than an outstanding share, that, at inception, both a) embodies an obligation to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares, or is indexed to such obligation and b) requires or may require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets. The warrants do not contain any provision that requires the Company to repurchase the shares and are not indexed to such an obligation. The warrants also do not require the Company to settle by transferring assets. All of these warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance.

    In connection with the September 23, 2020 registered direct offering, the Company issued 379,718 pre-funded common stock warrants with an exercise price of $0.0025 per share and an additional 720,201 common stock warrants with an exercise price of $21.87 per share (in each case, adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split). All of these warrants are exercisable for one share of common stock and were exercisable immediately. As of March 31,June 30, 2023, approximately 240,000 of the common stock warrants have been exercised. The pre-funded warrants were exercisable indefinitely, while the additional warrants are exercisable for 5 years from the date of issuance. All pre-funded warrants were exercised. Based on the Company’s assessment of the warrants granted relative to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, these warrants are classified as equity instruments. The fair value of the common stock warrants of approximately $10.2 million at the date of issuance was estimated using the Black-Scholes model which used the following inputs: term of 5 years, risk free rate of 0.28%, 0% dividend yield, volatility of 90.15%, an exercise price of $21.87 and share price of $20.83 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock (adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split).

On June 22, 2023, the Company entered into a warrant exchange agreement with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (“Armistice”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Armistice, in exchange for the cancellation of an existing warrant agreement pursuant to which Armistice had the right to acquire 480,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $21.87 per share.

    Warrants to purchase 837 and 480,837 shares of common stock were outstanding as of March 31,June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.2022, respectively. Outstanding common stock warrants are currently exercisable with varying exercise expiration dates from 2024 through 2025.

Stock-based compensation
 
    The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using a pricing model is affected by the value of the Company’s common stock as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The valuation of the Company’s common stock prior to its initial public offering was performed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm using a methodology that includes various inputs including the Company’s historical and projected financial results, peer company public data and market metrics, such as risk-free interest and discount rates. As the valuations included unobservable inputs that were primarily based on the Company’s own assumptions, the inputs were considered level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
    
    The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate.    The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options.
Expected term.    The expected term of stock options represents the period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the “SEC Shortcut Approach” as defined in “Share-Based Payment” (SAB 107) ASC 718-10-S99, “Compensation-Stock Compensation-Overall-SEC Materials,” which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. With certain stock option grants, the exercise price may exceed the fair value of the common stock. In these instances, the Company adjusts the expected term accordingly.

Dividend yield.    The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, used an expected dividend yield of zero in the valuation model.
Expected volatility.    Expected volatility measures the amount that a stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during a period. The Company estimates volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock.

Forfeitures.    The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
    Stock-based compensation expense was $0.6$0.4 million and $0.7$0.8 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1.1 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was calculated based on awards ultimately expected to vest. To date, the amount of stock-based compensation capitalized as part of inventory was not material.

Overview
 
We are a medical technology company and innovator in the orthopedic industry since our founding in 2004. In particular, we believe that we are a leader in the development, manufacturing, and sales of patient-specific products and instrumentation that are individually sized and shaped to fit each patient's unique knee and hip anatomy. The worldwide market for total knee and hip replacement products is approximately $17 billion annually. In the U.S. elective total joint procedures are shifting from the hospital to outpatient facilities and ambulatory surgery centers ("ASCs"). We believe that approximately 50% of all primary hip and knee procedures will be performed in ASCs within the next five years.

A key driver in the outpatient shift of orthopedic procedures is the ongoing changes by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"). In recent years, CMS removed key musculoskeletal services from the inpatient-only list, including total knee arthroplasty in 2018 and total hip arthroplasty in 2020. CMS also continues to expand the ASCs covered procedure list, including total knee arthroplasty in 2020 and total hip arthroplasty in 2021.
As healthcare costs rise, governments and government agencies, including CMS, are looking to reduce their healthcare expenditures markedly through reimbursement reductions and cost-shifting to patients.

On January 6, 2022, we announced the launch of our new Image-to-Implant® Platinum ServicesProgram, a premium service offering for the U.S. market. New to orthopedics, this program addresses the rapidly evolving demands of the healthcare marketplace where generic products are being commoditized and patients are increasingly willing to pay a premium for deluxe services. As of September 1, 2022, U.S. medical facility customers are only able to obtain our fully personalized iTotal Identity knee system through participation in our Image-to-Implant Platinum ServicesProgram.

Both Medicare and most commercial payors permit patients to pay out-of-pocket for non-covered, deluxe services. Through the Image-to-Implant® Platinum Services Program, Conformis is bringing this approach to orthopedics by enabling participating medical facilities to establish and offer patients an out-of-pocket services upgrade to obtain the Company’s fully personalized iTotal Identity™ knee system. Combined with our new Made-to-Measure Identity Imprint™ knee system, we believe that we now address multiple market segments within knee arthroplasty:

the Identity Imprint™ knee system provides a data-informed high-quality knee implant system that provides a level of personalization through its patient-specific instruments ("PSI") and proprietary algorithms for pre-surgical planning, but is only available in pre-designed standard sizes, all at a price comparable to standard off-the-shelf options; and

the Image-to-Implant® Platinum Services℠ Program gives patients in the United States the opportunity to upgrade to a fully-personalized iTotal Identity™ knee implant system by paying an incremental deluxe services fee.

As of December 31, 2022, we had sold a total of more than 149,000 knee implants, including more than 123,000 total knee implants and 26,000 partial knee implants. In multiple clinical studies, iTotal CR, our cruciate-retaining total knee replacement implant, demonstrated superior clinical outcomes, including with respect to function, kinematics and objective functional measures, and greater patient satisfaction compared to those of standard, or off-the-shelf, implants that it was tested against. On August 16, 2021, the first procedure was performed using the Imprint knee replacement system. Imprint, available in both cruciate retaining ("CR") and posterior stabilized ("PS") implants, utilizes a proprietary algorithm to select the appropriate implant size from 12 standard sizes that most closely meet the geometric and anatomic requirements of the patient’s knee based on the individual’s CT scan. As with our personalized iTotal knee product line, Imprint uses our sterile Surgery-in-a-Box delivery system, which we believe provides ASCs and hospitals with greater procedural efficiency and improved sterilization cost savings over comparable systems. With the interest in our Imprint system from ASC customers, we have prioritized applying our porous-coated technology to the Imprint system which will be our first cementless TKA product offering. We are targeting a limited commercial launch of the porous-coated technology in the second half of 2023, however the launch may be delayed to the first half of 2024 due to regulatory or technical challenges.

On November 11, 2019, we entered full commercial launch of the Conformis personalized hip system, now branded as Cordera Rx. Since the launch of the personalized hip system, we have introduced multiple product line extensions including Cordera Standard, Cordera Pro and Cordera Match. In November 2022, we completed the first procedure using our Actera™ Hip System, a second hip stem within our hip portfolio. The system, designed for hip reconstruction, uses the cutting-edge tri-taper stem design, and features a range of sizes and angles derived from our data analytics. This cementless hip stem component features a proximally coated titanium spray with a
3033


hydroxyapatite layer to encourage initial and long-term fixation. We believe that the system’s tri-taper stem design will enable surgeons to treat a broader range of patient anatomies and the shorter length options offer easier access to the femur while maintaining the fixation and integrity required for long term success of the implant. For the initial limited launch, the Actera™ Hip System will feature a range of standard sizes in both stem and cup components. We plan to launch future Actera™ line extensions that will offer additional personalization options for surgeons to choose what best fits their patients, even for complex anatomies. The new system is currently rolling out to select sites across the U.S., and we currently anticipate the commercial launch to occur in mid-2023.

All of our currently marketed knee and hip replacement products and related design software have been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") under the premarket notification process of Section 510(k) of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "FDCA"). We have received CE Certificates of Conformity allowing us to affix the CE Mark.

We market our products and services to orthopedic surgeons, hospitals, and other medical facilities, and patients. We use direct sales representatives, independent sales representatives and distributors to market and sell our products in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Dutch Antilles, Brazil, Suriname, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, the Sultanate of Oman, Italy, Poland and other markets.

We were incorporated in Delaware and commenced operations in 2004.

COVID-19 Pandemic UpdateRecent Developments – Agreement and Plan of Merger

In December 2019,On June 22, 2023, we entered into the Merger Agreement with restor3d and Merger Sub. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously adopted by our Board of Directors (the “Board”), Merger Sub will merge with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving corporation and a human infection originating in China was tracedwholly owned subsidiary of restor3d (the “Merger”). The Board also unanimously resolved to a novel strain of coronavirus. The virus subsequently spreadrecommend that our stockholders vote to other partsadopt and approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the world,Merger (the “Closing”), each outstanding share of our common stock, other than shares owned by us, restor3d or Merger Sub (which will be cancelled) and shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law, will automatically be converted into the right to receive $2.27 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

If the Merger is consummated, our common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In connection with the Merger, the vesting of each of our outstanding restricted stock unit will accelerate, and the holders of such units will receive an amount per unit equal to the Merger Consideration. All of our stock options and warrants that are currently outstanding have a strike price per share greater than the Merger Consideration, and will be cancelled in connection with the Merger without payment, unless exercised prior to consummation of the Merger.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (i) the United Statesadoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Stockholder Approval”), and Europe,(ii) no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order is in effect preventing the consummation of the Merger. Moreover, each party’s obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to certain other conditions, including (a) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and caused unprecedented disruptionswarranties (subject to certain materiality exceptions), (b) the other party’s compliance in all material respects with its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and (c) in the global economy ascase of restor3d and Merger Sub only, the absence of any event, change, or effect that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement). A special meeting of our stockholders is scheduled to be held on August 31, 2023 to vote on, among other things, a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions, the parties anticipate that the Merger will be consummated by the end of the third quarter of 2023.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. Until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger,

Components of our results of operations
 
The following is a description of factors that may influence our results of operations, including significant trends and challenges that we believe are important to an understanding of our business and results of operations.
 
Revenue
 
Our product revenue is generated from sales to hospitals and other medical facilities that are served through a direct sales force, independent sales representatives and distributors in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, and other markets. In order for surgeons to use our products, the medical facilities where these surgeons treat patients typically require us to enter into pricing agreements. The process of negotiating a pricing agreement can be lengthy and time-consuming, requiring extensive management time and may not be successful.
 
Revenue from sales of our products fluctuates principally based on the selling price of the joint replacement product, as the sales price of our products varies among hospitals and other medical facilities. In addition, our product revenue may fluctuate based on the product sales mix and mix of sales by geography. Our product revenue from international sales can be significantly impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as our sales are denominated in the local currency in the countries in which we sell our products. We expect our product revenue to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter due to a variety of factors, including seasonality, as we have historically experienced lower sales in the summer months and higher sales around year-end, the timing of the introduction of our new products, if any, and the impact of the buying patterns and implant volumes of medical facilities.

31


Royalty and licensing revenue for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 includes revenue generated from our settlement and license agreements with Bodycad and Exactech. Royalty and licensing revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 includes revenue of $0.5 million generated from our license agreement (the "License Agreement") with Paragon 28. Ongoing royalty revenue is generated from our license agreement (the "MicroPort License Agreement") with MicroPort Orthopedics Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MicroPort Scientific Corporation, or collectively, MicroPort. The MicroPort License Agreement will expire upon the expiration of the last to expire of our patents and patent applications licensed to MicroPort, which currently is expected to occur in 2031.
35



We provide certain information regarding our financial results or projected financial results on a non-GAAP "constant currency basis." This information estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of our current or projected future period financial results as compared to the applicable comparable period. This impact is derived by taking the adjusted current or projected local currency results and translating them into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on our results or business. Non-GAAP information is not a substitute for, and is not superior to, information presented on a GAAP basis.

This non-GAAP financial measure may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting its usefulness for comparison purposes. Moreover, presentation of revenue on a constant currency basis is provided for year-over-year comparison purposes, and investors should be cautioned that the effect of changing foreign currency exchange rates has an actual effect on our operating results. We consider the use of a period over period revenue comparison on a constant currency basis to be helpful to investors, as it provides a revenue growth measure free of positive or negative volatility due to currency fluctuations.

Cost of revenue
 
We produce our computer aided designs, or CAD, in-house and in India and use them to direct most of our product manufacturing efforts. We manufacture all of our patient-specific instruments, or iJigs, tibial trays used in our total knee implants, and polyethylene tibia tray inserts for our iTotal CR and our iTotal PS product, in our facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts. We polish our femoral implants used in our total and partial knee products in our facility in Wallingford, Connecticut. Starting in 2019, we began to manufacture the lateral partial tibial tray components in our facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts. We outsource the production of the remainder of the partial knee tibial components, femoral castings, and other knee and hip components to third-party suppliers. Our suppliers make our personalized implant components using the CAD designs we supply. Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs of raw materials, manufacturing personnel, outsourced CAD labor, manufacturing supplies, inbound freight, manufacturing overhead, and depreciation expense. Also included in cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, is a settlement paid in connection with our patent licensing and enforcement activities related to the Osteoplastic Settlement and License Agreement.
 
We calculate gross margin as revenue less cost of revenue divided by revenue. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including primarily volume of units produced, mix of product components manufactured by us versus sourced from third parties, our average selling price, foreign exchange rates, the geographic mix of sales, product sales mix, manufacturing efficiencies, raw material costs, the number of cancelled sales orders resulting in wasted implants, and royalty revenue.

We expect our gross margin from the sale of our products, which excludes royalty and licensing revenue, to expand over time to the extent we are successful in reducing our manufacturing costs per unit, increasing our manufacturing efficiency, and increasing sales volume through the launch of Identity Imprint™ and our Image-to-Implant® Platinum Services℠ Program. We believe that areas of opportunity to expand our gross margin in the future, if and as the volume of our product sales increases, include the following:

absorbing overhead costs across a larger volume of product sales;
increased sales mix of our higher margin Identity ImprintTM product and an increased selling price as a result of our Image-to-Implant® Platinum Services℠ Program;
obtaining more favorable pricing for the materials used in the manufacture of our products;
obtaining more favorable pricing of certain components of our products manufactured for us by third parties;
increasing the proportion of our CAD design activities that is performed in-house at our India facility;
developing new versions of our software used in the design of our joint replacement implants, which we believe will reduce costs associated with the design process; and
improving the efficiency of our internal manufacturing processes.
32


     
We also continue to explore other opportunities to reduce our manufacturing costs. However, these and the above opportunities may not be realized. In addition, our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period.

36


Operating expenses
 
Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, and sales commissions.
 
Sales and marketing.    Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for personnel employed in sales, marketing, customer service, medical education and training, as well as investments in surgeon training programs, industry events and other promotional activities. In addition, our sales and marketing expense includes sales commissions and bonuses, generally based on a percentage of sales, to our sales managers, direct sales representatives and independent sales representatives. Recruiting, training and retaining productive sales representatives and educating surgeons about the benefits of our products are required to generate and grow revenue. We expect sales and marketing expense to decrease in 2023 as part of our cost reduction plans. Our sales and marketing expense may fluctuate from period to period due to the seasonality of our revenue and the timing and extent of our expenses.

Research and development.    Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for personnel employed in research and development, regulatory and clinical areas. Research and development expense also includes costs associated with product design, product refinement and improvement efforts before and after receipt of regulatory clearance, development of prototypes, testing, clinical study programs and regulatory activities, contractors and consultants, and equipment and software to support our development. As our revenue increases, we will also incur additional expense for revenue share payments to our past and present scientific advisory board members, including one of our past directors. We expect research and development expense to decrease in 2023 as part of our cost reduction plans.

General and administrative.    General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for our administrative personnel that support our general operations, including executive management, general legal and intellectual property, finance and accounting, information technology and human resources personnel. General and administrative expense also includes outside legal costs associated with intellectual property and general legal matters, financial audit fees, insurance, fees for other consulting services, depreciation expense, long-lived asset impairment charges, freight, facilities expense, allocation of manufacturing training costs, and severance expense. We expect our general and administrative expense to decrease in 2023 primarily due to lower litigation and other expenses associated with our cost reduction plans. Our general and administrative expense may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and extent of the expenses.

The United States product revenue decreased $2.1$2.6 million to $10.6$10.8 million or 17%20% year over year. The decrease in product revenue was primarily due to declines in U.S. knee orders following our business model transition and manufacturing/supply chain challenges. Following the September 1, 2022 transition to the new business model, we have seen a reduction in our orders as existing customers migrate to the new product and service offering. Additionally, some of our existing customers have chosen not to offer our fully personalized iTotal Identity product given it will require an out-of-pocket patient pay upgrade and some have chosen not to order Identity Imprint given it is not a fully personalized knee system. Germany product revenue decreased $0.4 million to $0.8 million, or 30% year over year on a reported basis and 26% on a constant currency basis. We believe the decline was primarily due to continued reimbursement headwinds from Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenversicherung ("MDK"), operational disruptions, and foreign currency exchange rates. Rest of World product revenue remained flat year-over-year.

revenue increased $0.3 million to $1.3 million, or 31% year-over-year on a reported basis and 39% on a constant currency basis.

Liquidity, capital resources and plan of operations

Reverse Stock Split

On October 26, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of our Common Stock ("Reverse Stock Split"), which was implemented in November 2022. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each of the holders of our Common Stock received one (1) new share of Common Stock for every twenty-five (25) shares such shareholder held immediately prior. Fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split were paid in cash. The Reverse Stock Split also affected the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants and resulted in the shares underlying such instruments being reduced and the exercise price being increased proportionately to the Reverse Stock Split ratio.

All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated. The total number of our authorized shares of preferred stock was not affected by the foregoing. However, the total number of our authorized common stock was decreased to 20,000,000 after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, there was no change in the par value per share of $0.00001.
 
Sources of liquidity and funding requirements
 
From our inception in June 2004 through the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of preferred stock, our initial public offering in 2015, other equity financings, debt and convertible debt financings, equipment purchase loans, patent licensing, and product revenue beginning in 2007. We have not yet attained profitability and continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows. As of March 31,June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $590.9$603.9 million.In addition, as of such date, the Company owed $21 million under its secured credit agreement with MidCap. As further described below under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” absent us raising additional capital, MidCap could allege that a material adverse effect has occurred under the credit agreement, which could permit MidCap to accelerate amounts due under the agreement. For further information regarding the credit agreement see “Note I—Debt and Notes Payable” in the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future in connection with the following:

expansion of our sales and marketing efforts, including the expanded advertising of our Platinum Services℠ Program;
expansion of our manufacturing capacity;
funding research and development activities related to new and existing products, including our porous-coated technology for the Imprint system and Actera™ line extensions;
pursuing and maintaining appropriate regulatory clearances and approvals for our existing products and any new products that we may develop; and
enforcing our intellectual property rights and pursuing our claims against Aetna.

We anticipate that our principal sources of funds in the future will be revenue generated from the sales of our products, potential future capital raises through the issuance of equity or other securities, available sales of shares under the Sales Agreement, or potential debt financings, and revenues that we may generate in connection with licensing our intellectual property. Additionally, in order for us to meet our long-term operating plan, revenue growth, gross margin improvements and leveraging operating expenses will be necessary to reduce cash used in operations. We will need to generate significant additional revenue to achieve and maintain profitability, and even if we achieve profitability, we cannot be sure that we will remain profitable for any substantial period of time. It is also possible that we may allocate significant amounts of capital toward products or technologies for which market demand is lower than anticipated and, as a result, abandon such efforts. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, or if we expend capital on projects that are not successful, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, and we may even have to scale back our operations. Our failure to become and remain profitable could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain our research and development efforts or continue to fund our operations.

On March 23, 2020, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Shelf Registration Statement"), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 5, 2020. Under the Shelf Registration Statement, we are permitted to sell from time to time up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or units comprised of any combination of these securities, for our own account in one or more offerings. The Shelf Registration Statement is intended to provide us flexibility to conduct sales of our registered securities, subject to market conditions and our future capital needs.

On August 5, 2020, we filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, for the sale and issuance of up to $25 million of our common stock and entered into an ATM issuance sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement"), with Cowen and Company, LLC ("Cowen"), pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of the our common stock to or through Cowen, acting as agent and/or principal, from time to time in an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise at market prices prevailing at
42


the time of sale, in block transactions, or as otherwise directed by us. Under the Sales Agreement, Cowen will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Common Stock from time to time, based upon instructions from us (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions we may impose). We will pay Cowen a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of any Common Stock sold through Cowen under the Sales Agreement, and we have provided Cowen with customary indemnification rights. Any shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be offered and sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. We are not obligated to make any sales of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement. The offering of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all Common Stock subject to the Sales Agreement or (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement in accordance with its terms. As of the date thereof, we have not sold any shares under the Sales Agreement.

On September 23, 2020, we and a healthcare-focused institutional investor entered into a subscription agreement the "Subscription Agreement," pursuant to which we sold (i) 340,483 shares of its common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 340,483 shares of common stock and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 379,718 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 379,718 shares of common stock in a registered direct offering (adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split) for gross proceeds of approximately $17.3 million. The common stock (or one pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrants were sold as units, each consisting of one share (or one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock in lieu thereof) and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at an offering price of $23.95 per unit. The net proceeds to us from the offering, after deducting the placement agent's fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by us, was approximately $15.9 million.

The pre-funded warrants became exercisable immediately upon issuance, have an exercise price of $0.0025 per share and were exercisable until all of the pre-funded warrants were exercised in full. As of March 31, 2021, all pre-funded warrants were exercised. The warrants became exercisable immediately upon issuance, have an exercise price of $21.87 per share (adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split), and will expire five years from the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 240,000 of these warrants have been exercised. The pre-funded warrants and the warrants each prohibit the holder from exercising any portion thereof to the extent that the holder would own more than 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after exercise. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and pre-funded warrants and the exercise price of the warrants and pre-funded warrants is adjustable in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions.

On November 22, 2021, we entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with MidCap Financial Services, LLC (“MidCap Financial Services”), as servicer for MidCap Financial Trust to refinance the Company's existing senior secured indebtedness. The New Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $21 million secured term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), and replaces our existing credit facility under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement, with Innovatus, as collateral agent and lender, East West Bank and other lenders party thereto (collectively, the "Lenders"). We used the proceeds from the debt financings to pay off our existing credit facility under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement with the Lenders.

The New Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay subordinated indebtedness and enter into affiliate transactions. In addition, the New Credit Agreement contains a minimum liquidity covenant requiring the us to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $4.0 million. The New Credit Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the Term Facility may be accelerated. As of March 31, 2023, we were not in breach of covenants under the New Credit Agreement. For further information regarding the New Credit Agreement see “Note I—Debt and Notes Payable” in the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On November 8, 2022 we entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with Medacta, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terms for resolving the then-existing patent disputes. In consideration of the licenses, releases, covenants and other immunities granted by us to Medacta, Medacta was required to pay us a fee promptly after execution of the Settlement and License Agreement, which was received in full on December 12, 2022. The agreement provides for the grant of the licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon receipt of the payment from Medacta.

On February 17, 2021, we closed an offering of our common stock under the Shelf Registration Statement and issued and sold 3,238,095 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $26.25 per share (adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split), for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $79.6 million. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering of the shares for general corporate purposes, which may include research and development costs, sales and marketing costs, clinical studies, manufacturing development, the acquisition or licensing of other businesses or technologies, repayment and refinancing of debt, including our secured term loan facility, working capital and capital expenditures.

On April 8, 2021, we entered into a License Agreement with Paragon 28, granting Paragon 28 a non-exclusive license under a subset of our U.S. patents for the use of patient-specific instruments with off-the-shelf implants. In connection with this License Agreement, we recognized revenue of $1.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and $0.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. see “Note B—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We may need to engage in additional equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future sale of equity or debt, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted. The terms of these future equity or debt securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders or involve negative covenants that restrict our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt or making capital expenditures.
At March 31, 2023,Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we had cashwill continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and cash equivalentsthe settlement of $37.8 millionliabilities and $0.5 millioncommitments in restricted cash allocatedthe normal course of business. The recurring losses and uncertainties about the Company's ability to lease deposits. Based on our current operating plan, we expectraise capital raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
We fund our operations, capital expenditure requirements and debt service over the next twelve months with existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31,June 30, 2023, anticipated revenue fromand plans to address matters that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through the completion of the proposed merger transaction with restor3d during the third quarter of 2023. However, if the merger is not successful, we will require additional capital in the near-term to support its business growth and continued operations, revenueand, based on the recent state of equity capital markets and our exploration of potential financing alternatives, we and our board of directors believe that mayit will be generatedvery challenging to obtain such financing on terms that would preserve value for our current stockholders. Absent the Company being able to obtain a sufficient level of new capital in connection with licensing intellectual property, available salesthe near-term, we could need to file for bankruptcy protection, which we and our board of directors believe would likely result in our current stockholders receiving little, if any, value for their shares under the Sales Agreement, funds from additional equity or debt financing. We have based this expectation on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, such as the revenue that we expect to generate from the sale of our products,common stock (and, in any event, an amount substantially less than the gross profit we expect to generate from those revenues, and$2.27 per share of common stock provided for by the fact that we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect.Merger Agreement.

Net cash provided by financing activities.    Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.0 million for each of the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Contractual obligations and commitments
 
There have not been any material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 other than changes in our debt facilities as disclosed in "Note I—Debt and Notes Payable" in the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue share agreements
 
We are party to revenue share agreements with certain past and present members of our scientific advisory board under which these advisors agreed to participate on our scientific advisory board and to assist with the development of our personalized implant products and related intellectual property. These agreements provide that we will pay the advisor a specified percentage of our net revenue, ranging from 0.1% to 1.33%, with respect to our products on which the advisor made a technical contribution or, in some cases, which we covered by a claim of one of or patents on which the advisor is a named inventor. The specific percentage is determined by reference to product classifications set forth in the agreement and is tiered based on the level of net revenue collected by us on such product sales. Our payment obligations under these agreements typically expire a fixed number of years after expiration or termination of the agreement, but in some cases expire on a product-by-product basis or expiration of the last to expire of our patents where the advisor is a named inventor that claims the applicable product.

44


The aggregate revenue share percentage of net revenue from our currently marketed knee replacement products, including percentages under revenue share agreements with all of our scientific advisory board members, ranges, depending on the particular product, from 0.1% to 0.6%. We incurred aggregate revenue share expense including all amounts payable under our scientific advisory board revenue share agreements of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, representing 2.3%2.1% of product revenue, and $0.6$0.7 million during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, representing 4.0%4.8% of product revenue. Revenue share expense is included in research and development. For further information, see “Note H—Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Segment information

We have one primary business activity and operate as one reportable segment.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
 
Through March 31,June 30, 2023, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
 
Critical accounting policies and estimates
 
We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures requires us 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We believe the critical accounting policies and estimates that require the use
39


of significant estimates and judgments in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, inventory valuations, impairment assessments, and income tax reserves and related allowances. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are more fully described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical accounting policies and estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,June 30, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,June 30, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 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

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to routine risk of litigation, claims and administrative proceedings on a variety of matters, including patent infringement, product liability, securities-related claims, and other claims in the United States and in other countries where we sell our products. In the case of matters below in which we are a defendant, adverse outcomes of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We are presently unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits or to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses, if any, related to the lawsuits. Legal costs associated with legal proceedings are accrued as incurred.

Proceedings and Complaints Related to the Merger Agreement

On July 27, 2023 and July 31, 2023, respectively, two purported Company stockholders filed separate complaints against us and the members of our board directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in cases captioned Burnett v. Conformis Inc., et al., 1:23-cv-06536 (S.D.N.Y.) and Anderson v. Conformis Inc., et al., 1:23-cv-06686 (S.D.N.Y.), respectively. The complaints each assert claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and allege that the proxy statement filed with the SEC on July 24, 2023 regarding the proposed merger transaction with restor3d is materially incomplete and misleading because it fails to disclose certain purportedly material information. Among other remedies, the plaintiffs each seek to enjoin the merger. Between July 24, 2023 and July 27, 2023, counsel to four different purported Company stockholders sent demand letters to our counsel making similar assertions and, in one instance, attaching a draft federal court complaint against us and the members of its board directors, asserting similar claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and also seeking to enjoin the merger. On July 31, 2023, we also received a demand under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law seeking formal access to our books and records related to the proposed merger with restor3d and the process leading up to it.

Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we and the individual defendants believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend against these actions vigorously. If any plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the completion of the merger on the agreed-upon terms, then such injunction may prevent the merger from being completed, or from being completed within the expected time frame. Additional lawsuits against us and/or our directors and officers in connection with the merger may be filed in the future. If additional similar complaints are filed or demand letters are sent, absent new or different allegations that are material, we will not necessarily announce such additional filings or letters. At this time, we are unable to estimate the potential loss or range of losses that might be incurred in connection with these matters.

Settlement and License Agreement with Medacta

On August 29, 2019, we filed a lawsuit against Medacta USA, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. We amended our complaint on December 23, 2019, and again on October 14, 2020, adding Medacta International (Medacta USA, Inc.’s parent company) as a defendant (Medacta USA, Inc. and Medacta International SA are referred to, together, as “Medacta”). We are seeking damages for Medacta’s infringement of certain of our patents related to patient-specific instrument and implant systems, alleging that Medacta’s multiple lines of patient-specific instruments, as well as the implant components used in conjunction with them, infringe four of our patents. The accused product lines include Medacta patient-specific instrument and implant systems for knee and shoulder replacement procedures. On January 6, 2020, Medacta filed its answer to our original complaint, denying that its patient-specific instrument and implant systems infringe the patents asserted by us. Medacta’s answer also alleges the affirmative defense that our asserted patents are invalid. On January 21, 2021, Medacta International SA filed a partial motion to dismiss; on February 16, 2021, we filed our opposition to the motion; and on March 2, 2021, Medacta International SA filed its reply. On March 4, 2021, the court issued its opinion on claim construction, ruling in our favor on the construction of all of the disputed terms. On June 3, 2022, the court denied Medacta International SA’s motion to dismiss. On September 8, 2022, the parties notified the court that an agreement in principal to settle the case had been reached. The trial schedule and case deadlines have been canceled, pending the parties’ preparation of and agreement to a definitive settlement agreement.

On October 20, 2021, we filed a lawsuit against Medacta Germany GmbH and Medacta International SA (together, “Medacta Europe”) in the Regional Court of Düsseldorf ("German Court"). We are seeking damages for Medacta Europe’s infringement of one of our German patents related to patient-specific instrument and implant systems through Medacta Europe’s sales of multiple lines of PSI, as well as the implant components used in conjunction with them, in Germany. The accused product lines include Medacta Europe’s patient-specific instrument and implant systems for knee, hip, and shoulder replacement procedures. Medacta Europe filed its statement of defense on January 31, 2022. On April 28, 2022, we filed our reply to Medacta’s statement of defense. On September 1, 2022, an oral hearing on infringement and liability was held. On September 9, 2022, the parties notified the court that an agreement in principal to settle the case had been reached, and the issuance of further rulings by the court have been delayed, pending the parties’ preparation of and agreement to a definitive settlement agreement.

On November 8, 2022, we entered into a non-exclusive, fully paid up, worldwide settlement and license agreement with Medacta, resolving the matters described in the two preceding paragraphs. Under the terms of this agreement, we granted a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to Medacta to use patient-specific instrument technology covered by our patents and patent applications with off-the-shelf implants for the knee and shoulder. This license does not extend to patient-specific implants. This license agreement provided for a single lump-sum payment by Medacta to us upon entering into the license agreement, which was paid in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Litigation with Osteoplastics

On March 20, 2020, Osteoplastics LLC ("Osteoplastics") filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and Osteoplastics amended its complaint on April 2, 2020.

Litigation against Aetna

On May 8, 2020, we and an individual plaintiff filed a lawsuit against Aetna, Inc. and Aetna Life Insurance Company (together, “Aetna”) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking damages for Aetna’s improper denial of coverage for personalized knee implants under its health plans and the ones it administers. We amended our complaint on August 13, 2020, alleging that Aetna violated its duties under state and federal law, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. On March 31, 2021, the court dismissed our claims against Aetna, but allowed the individual plaintiff’s claims to survive. The individual plaintiff settled his claims against Aetna in October 2021 and we subsequently filed a notice of appeal. We filed our appeal brief on April 15, 2022. Aetna filed its response to our appeal brief on June 15, 2022. The court is scheduled to hear oral arguments from the parties on the appeal briefs on November 8, 2022.

On January 23, 2023, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit revived our trade libel claims against Aetna, finding that Aetna’s policy claims that our knee implants are “experimental” and “investigational” can plausibly be considered actionable product disparagement, and that the district court had erred in dismissing these claims. The court found that we have plausibly claimed that Aetna's policy decision caused orthopedic surgeons to stop prescribing its knee replacement implants. The court also revived our related claims for unfair trade practice and interference with advantageous relations. The court issued a scheduling order on March 2, 2023 and discovery in the lawsuit has commenced. We intend to continue pursuing these claims against Aetna, and expect to incur additional legal expenses in 2023 (and potentially thereafter) in connection with doing so. We are seeking an award of monetary damages and equitable relief. We are not presently able to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter or to reasonably estimate a range of potential damages we may be awarded, if successful.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The following description of risk factors consists of updates to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. For a detailed discussion of the other risks that affect our business, please refer to the entire section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Risk factors and other information included in our Form 10-Q should be carefully considered. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently deem less significant may also impair our business operations. Please see page 31 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of some of the forward-looking statements that are qualified by these risk factors. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks related to our financial position

If the Merger is not consummated, we expect to need to raise additional capital to continue our operations and execute our operating plans, and doubt may exist regarding our ability to continue operating as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $26 million, and we owed $21 million under our secured credit agreement with MidCap. As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $604 million. Based on our operating plans and current liquidity resources, we do not believe that we have sufficient resources to fund operations and meet our contractual obligations for the 12 months following the issuance date of the accompanying consolidated quarterly financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

If the Merger is not consummated, we expect to need to raise additional capital, in the near-term, and we may need to delay, scale back or eliminate some planned operations or reduce expenses to remain a going concern, any of which would have a significant negative impact on our prospects and financial condition, as well as the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we would be able raise a sufficient level of capital on terms favorable to us and our stockholders, or at all. If we are unable to obtain these additional funds on a timely basis, there will be an increased risk of insolvency and up to a total loss of investment by our stockholders. In addition, absent us raising additional capital, MidCap could allege that a material adverse effect has occurred under the credit agreement, which could permit MidCap to accelerate amounts due under the agreement. These events could lead to us needing to file for bankruptcy protection, which we believe would likely result in current Company stockholders receiving little, if any, value for their shares of Company common stock.

We maintain cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Adverse developments affecting financial institutions, including bank failures, could adversely affect our liquidity and financial performance.

We maintain domestic cash deposits in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured banks that exceed FDIC insurance limits. We also maintain cash deposits in foreign banks where we operate, which are not insured by the FDIC or similar agencies. Bank failures, events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance, or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, or concerns or rumors about such events, may lead to liquidity constraints. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank failed and was taken into receivership by the FDIC. There can be no assurance that our deposits in excess of the FDIC or other comparable insurance limits will be backstopped by the U.S. or applicable foreign government, or that any bank or financial institution with which we do business will be able to obtain needed liquidity from other banks, government institutions, or by acquisition in the event of a failure or liquidity crisis. In the event of a failure of any financial institutions where we maintain our deposits or other assets, we may incur a loss to the extent such loss exceeds the FDIC insurance limitation, which could have a material adverse effect upon our liquidity, financial condition and our results of operations.

Risks related to the Merger Agreement

Failure to consummate the Merger could materially and negatively impact the price of our common stock, as well as our future business and financial results, and could lead to various outcomes that include a risk of credit agreement default and/or bankruptcy.

The Merger Agreement contains a number of conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the completion of the Merger, including the approval of the Company’s stockholders. We cannot assure you that all of the conditions to the Merger will be so satisfied or waived. If the conditions to the Merger are not satisfied or waived, we may be unable to consummate the Merger.

If the Merger is not completed, our ongoing business may be adversely affected as follows: (i) we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on the market price of our common stock; (ii) some of management’s attention will have been directed to the Merger instead of being directed to our own operations and the pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us; (iii) we will have expended time and resources that could otherwise have been spent on our existing business; and (iv) we may be required, in certain circumstances, to pay a cash termination fee of $0.9 million (and provide restor3d with a non-

exclusive license to the Company’s patents except with respect to certain knee and/or hip applications), as provided in the Merger Agreement.

Additionally, in approving the Merger Agreement, our Board of Directors considered a number of factors and potential benefits, including the fact that the Merger consideration to be received by holders of our common stock represented a premium of approximately 96% to the closing price of our common stock on June 22, 2023, the last completed trading day prior to the Board's approval of the Merger Agreement. If the Merger is not completed, the holders of our common stock will not realize this benefit of the Merger. Moreover, we would also have nevertheless incurred substantial transaction-related fees and costs and the loss of management time and resources.

In addition, in approving the Merger Agreement, our Board considered and identified several significant risks that will apply if the Merger is not ultimately consummated, including the following:

Industry Competition and Limited Resources: the Company faces intense competition in the joint replacement industry from large, well-established companies that have significantly greater financial resources, larger sales forces and networks of distributors, and a greater number of established relationships, compared to the Company, which has a limited number of commercialized products and limited financial resources;

Continued Incurrence of Net Losses: the Company has incurred significant net operating losses in every year since its inception (including a net loss of approximately $50 million for the most recently completed fiscal year), and, given the challenges growing product revenue described above, the Board expects it will continue to incur net operating losses for the next several years;

Need for Additional Near-Term Capital: the Company will require additional capital in the near-term to support its business growth and continued operations, and, based on the recent state of equity capital markets and the Company’s exploration of potential financing alternatives, the Board believes it will be very challenging to obtain such financing on terms that would preserve value for our current stockholders;

Risk of Credit Agreement Default: the Company owes $21 million under its secured credit agreement, which contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including that the Company may not undergo a material adverse effect, and the Board believes that the Company’s continued incurrence of net operating losses in the upcoming months creates risk that the Company’s lender will assert the existence of such a material adverse effect should the Company’s current cash balance (approximately $26 million as of June 30, 2023), combined with projected future cash flows, indicate that a material impairment exists on the lender’s prospects of being repaid the loan amounts when due;

Risk of Bankruptcy: should an event of default occur under the Company’s secured credit agreement, absent the Company being able to obtain new near-term debt or equity financing, the Company could need to file for bankruptcy protection, which the Board believes would likely result in current Company stockholders receiving little, if any, value for their shares of Company common stock (and, in any event, an amount substantially less than the $2.27 per share of common stock provided for by the Merger Agreement);

Employee Retention and Hiring: the foregoing circumstances create risk that absent a sale transaction, such as the proposed Merger, the Company would have difficulty retaining its senior management and employees, or otherwise being able to recruit, retain and motivate qualified executives and other key employees amid intense competition from competitors and other companies in the life sciences industry; and

Customer Risks: the foregoing circumstances also create risk that absent a sale transaction, customers may refrain from using the Company’s products over concern regarding the Company’s long-term viability and ability to service its product portfolio.

The Merger Agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger and may discourage other companies from trying to acquire us for greater consideration than what restor3d has agreed to pay.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that make it more difficult for us to sell our business to a company other than restor3d. These provisions include a general prohibition on us soliciting any acquisition proposal or offer for a competing transaction. If we or restor3d terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances (including if we agree to be or are subsequently acquired by another company), we may in some circumstances be required to pay to restor3d a termination fee of $0.9 million (and provide restor3d with a non-exclusive license to the Company’s patents except with respect to certain knee and/or hip applications), as provided in the Merger Agreement. Further, our board of directors has agreed in the Merger Agreement, subject to limited exceptions, that it will not withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to restor3d its recommendation that our stockholders approve the Merger.

Expenses related to the proposed Merger are significant and may adversely affect our operating results.

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant expenses in connection with the proposed Merger, including legal and investment banking fees, which may adversely affect our operating results.

We are subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending, which could adversely affect our business.

The Merger Agreement generally requires us to conduct our businesses in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and use our reasonable best efforts to preserve intact our present business organization, material assets, properties, contracts and authorizations, present employees, and relationships and goodwill with suppliers, licensors, licensees, contractors, partners and others having material business dealings with us. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts us, unless we first obtain restor3d’s consent, from taking certain specified actions until the proposed Merger occurs or the Merger Agreement terminates. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities and making other changes to our business before completion of the Merger or, if the Merger is not completed, termination of the Merger Agreement.

Uncertainties associated with the Merger may cause a loss of management and other key employees and disrupt our business relationships, which could adversely affect our business.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on our employees, customers and suppliers may have an adverse effect on our business. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Merger is completed. Employee retention may be particularly challenging during the pendency of the Merger. If key employees depart and as we face additional uncertainties relating to the Merger, our business relationships may be subject to disruption as suppliers and other third parties attempt to negotiate changes in existing business relationships or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than the Company. If key employees depart or if our existing business relationships suffer, our results of operations may be adversely affected. The adverse effects of such disruptions could be further exacerbated by any delay in the completion of the Merger.

Lawsuits have been filed, and other lawsuits may be filed, against us and members of our board of directors challenging the Merger, and an adverse ruling in any such lawsuit may delay or prevent the completion of the Merger or result in an award of damages against us.

On July 27, 2023 and July 31, 2023, respectively, two purported Company stockholders filed separate complaints against us and the members of our board of directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in cases captioned Burnett v. Conformis Inc., et al., 1:23-cv-06536 (S.D.N.Y.) and Anderson v. Conformis Inc., et al., 1:23-cv-06686 (S.D.N.Y.), respectively. The complaints each assert claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and allege that the proxy statement that we filed with the SEC on July 24, 2023 regarding the Merger is materially incomplete and misleading because it fails to disclose certain purportedly material information. Among other remedies, the plaintiffs each seek to enjoin the Merger. Between July 24, 2023 and July 27, 2023, counsel to four different purported Company stockholders sent demand letters to our counsel making similar assertions and, in one instance, attaching a draft federal court complaint against us and the members of our board of directors, asserting similar claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a)
52


of the Exchange Act and also seeking to enjoin the Merger. On July 31, 2023, we also received a demand under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law seeking formal access to our books and records related to the Merger with restor3d and the process leading up to it.

Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we and the individual defendants believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend against these actions vigorously. If any plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the completion of the Merger on the agreed-upon terms, then such injunction may prevent the Merger from being completed, or from being completed within the expected time frame. Additional lawsuits against us and/or our directors and officers in connection with the Merger may be filed in the future. If additional similar complaints are filed or demand letters are sent, absent new or different allegations that are material, we will not necessarily announce such additional filings or letters. At this time, we are unable to estimate the potential loss or range of losses that might be incurred in connection with these matters.
