ALPHATEC HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alphatec Spine, Inc. (“Alphatec Spine”) and SafeOp Surgical, Inc. (“SafeOp”), is a medical technology company that designs, develops, and markets technology for the treatment of spinal disorders.disorders associated with disease and degeneration, congenital deformities, and trauma. The Company markets its products in the U.S. via independent sales agents and a direct sales force.

On March 8, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of SafeOp, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to a reverse triangular merger of SafeOp into a newly-created wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with SafeOp being the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 8 for further information.

On September 1, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its international distribution operations and agreements (collectively, the “International Business”) to Globus Medical Ireland, Ltd., a subsidiary of Globus Medical, Inc., and its affiliated entities (collectively “Globus”). As a result of this transaction, the International Business has been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Qthe condensed consolidated financial statements and is reported as discontinued operations. See Note 4 for additional information on the divestiture of the International Business.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of EOS

On December 16, 2020, the Company, entered into a Tender Offer Agreement (the “Tender Offer Agreement”) with EOS imaging S.A., a société anonyme organized and existing under the laws of France (“EOS”), pursuant to which the Company commenced a public tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, nominal value €0.01 per share (collectively, the “EOS Shares”), and outstanding convertible bonds (“OCEANEs”), of EOS. The Offer consists of a cash tender offer price of €2.45 (or approximately $2.99) per EOS Share and €7.01 (or approximately $8.55) per OCEANE (the “Offer Consideration”), for a total purchase price of up to $116.9 million. On March 2, 2021, the Company transferred $115.3 million (approximately €95.6 million) to an escrow account to fund the Offer. The Offer was filed with the Autorité des marches financiers (the “AMF”) on March 5, 2021 and cleared by the AMF on March 30, 2021. The opening of the Offer occurred on April 1, 2021. Certain shareholders of EOS, which currently control approximately 23% of the outstanding EOS Shares, collectively, have entered into Tender Commitments with the Company pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to tender their respective EOS Shares into the Offer, subject to certain conditions. These Tender Commitments will terminate if (i) the Tender Offer Agreement is terminated, (ii) the Offer is withdrawn by the Company pursuant to applicable French laws and regulations, or (iii) the Offer is not declared successful by the AMF as a result of certain conditions failing to be met or waived.  

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019,2020, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2021  have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S.accounting principles generally accepted accounting principlesin the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relatedpertaining to a quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rulesthe interim-period-reporting provisions of U.S. GAAP and regulations, although the SEC. The Company believes that the disclosures made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 that was filed with the SEC on March 17, 2020.5, 2021. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020,2021, or any other future periods.

Liquidity

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s evaluation entails analyzing prospective operating budgets and forecasts for expectations of the Company’s cash needs and comparing those needs to the current cash and cash equivalent balances, and availability under existing credit facilities. The Company’s working capital at March 31, 2020 was $53.8 million (including cash of $27.5 million). In April 2020, the Company completed a $20 million draw on its credit facility with Squadron Medical Finance Solutions LLC (“Squadron Capital,” or “Squadron”).

8


The Company’s capital requirements over the next twelve months will depend on many factors, including the ability to achieve anticipated revenue, manage operating expense and the timing of required investments in inventory and instrument sets to support its customers. The Company has experienced negative operating cash flows for all historical periods presented and it expects these losses to continue into the foreseeable future, particularly as the COVID-19 pandemic impacts operations and surgical volumes. The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration, extent and severity of the pandemic and its impact on the Company's customers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. To reduce expenditures and preserve cash, the Company recently implemented several cost-containment measures, including expense management programs and reductions in projected inventory and capital spending. The company believes it has sufficient

As more fully described in Note 5, the Company’s existing credit agreements with MidCap Funding IV Trust (“MidCap”) and Squadron (collectively, the “current lenders”) include a financial covenant that required the Company to maintain a minimum cash balance of $5.0 million through March 31, 2020. The Company was in compliance with this covenant at March 31, 2020.  The minimum cash covenant converted to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as of April 1, 2020. The Company did not meet the fixed charge ratio as of April 2020 and is required to certify its debt covenant compliance with its lenders by May 31, 2020. In order to avoid a default on its existing credit agreements, the Company plans to refinance its existing debt. This factor indicates substantial doubt exists, but management’s plans are to refinance the debt.

On May 9, 2020, the Company executed a commitment letter for $35 million in additional secured financing from Squadron.  This capital will be made available under the same material terms and conditions as the existing term loan with Squadron. Under the terms of the amended facility, the maturity date on the entire term loan will be extended to May 2025. A portion of the proceeds from the expanded facility will be used to retire the Company’s outstanding obligation under its working capital revolver with MidCap Funding. The expanded Squadron credit facility, as proposed, does not include any financial covenants. ATEC expects this transaction to close before the end of May 2020.

Management believes the credit refinancing of existing debt under the commitment letter with Squadron is probable to occur, and as such, alleviates any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

COVID-19

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to countries globally, including the United States and mostly all European countries. To date, COVID-19 has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on the Company’s operations, supply chains, distribution channels and expenses as a result of the preventive and precautionary measures that the Company, its customers, other businesses, and governments are taking, including the deferral of elective medical procedures and diversion of capital and other resources. As information surrounding COVID-19 continues to evolve, the extent of the impact on the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result of the pandemic, hospitals and health institutions are diverting resources and deferring elective surgical procedures to treat COVID-19 patients. To date, these measures have impacted, and will continue to impact, the abilities of these institutions to meet their normal recurring business obligations, including those to the Company. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have been negatively impacted by COVID-19, and it is possible this impact could cause a local and/or global economic recession. As the extent of such economic disruption continues to remain uncertain, the results of the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the business.

The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration, extent and severity of the pandemic and its impact on the Company's customers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company's future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions and uncertain demand, and the impact of any initiatives or programs that the Company may undertake to address financial and operations challenges faced by its customers. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the extent to which the pandemic may materially impact the Company's financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations is uncertain.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 17, 2020.5, 2021. Except as discussed below, these accounting policies have not changed during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Transaction-related Expenses

The Company expensed certain costs related to the tender offer for the acquisition of EOS Imaging, which primarily include third-party advisory fees, legal fees and commitment fees related to transaction financing arrangements.2021.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amount of financial instruments consisting of cash, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued compensation and current portion of long-term debt included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable estimates of fair value due to their short maturities. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, management believes the fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value.

Authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

 

Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quotedQuoted prices in active markets;markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2:

Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets,Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly; andindirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs in which there isthat are supported by little or no market data, which requireactivity and that are significant to the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company does not maintain any financialfollowing table presents information related to the Company’s assets that are considered to be Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 instrumentsandliabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020. 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized through net loss. Upon the filing of the Offer with the AMF in connection with the Tender Offer Agreement, the Company began purchasing outstanding EOS shares and OCEANEs on the open market. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has purchased 2,665,694 shares of EOS, representing approximately 10% of the outstanding shares of EOS, for €6.5 million ($7.6 million). The Company classified the purchased EOS shares within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as the shares are traded on the Euronext Paris stock exchange and have a readily determinable fair value. There was approximately $0.1 million in unrealized holding losses recorded in other income and expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Debt securities consist of convertible debt securities that the Company does not intend to hold until maturity and are therefore classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale debt securities are measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized through other comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has purchased 157,167 OCEANEs, representing approximately 4% of the outstanding OCEANEs, for €1.1 million ($1.3 million). The Company classified the purchased OCEANEs within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the OCEANEs have a directly observable par value. There was approximately $0.1 million in unrealized holding losses recorded in other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

On December 18, 2020, the Company entered into a foreign currency forward contract, with a notional amount of $117.9 million (€95.6 million) to mitigate the foreign currency exchange risk related to the Tender Offer Agreement, denominated in Euros ("EUR"). The contract is not designated as a hedging instrument. The Company classified the derivative liability within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as observable inputs are available for the full term of the derivative instrument. The fair value of the forward contract was developed using a market approach based on publicly available market yield curves and the term of the contract. On March 2, 2021, the foreign currency forward contract was settled for €95.6 million ($115.3 million). The company recognized a $1.7 million loss from the change in fair value of the contract during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The loss on the contract settlement was recorded as other expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and is included in investing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company issued a liability classified equity award to one of its executive officers. The award will be earned over a 4 year4-year vesting period and upon a specific market condition. As the award will be settled in cash, settled, it is classified as a liability within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the Company is using a probability-weighted income approach, utilizing significant unobservable inputs including the probability of achieving the specified market condition with the valuation updated at each reporting period. The full fair value of the cash settled award was $0.6$4.5 million as of March 31, 20202021 and is being recognized ratably as the underlying service period is provided.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2019,As of March 31, 2021, and for the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-08, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifiesperiod ended, there are no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that an entity must measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718. Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 2019-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2020 and recorded a cumulative adjustment of $0.1 million to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2020.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The standard has tiered effective dates, starting in 2020 for calendar-year public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2020 as part of its process to assess impairment of Goodwill.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which aligns the accounting for cloud computing implementation costs with that of costs to develop or obtain internal-use software, meaning such costs that are part of the application development stage are capitalized as an asset and amortized over the term of the arrangement, otherwise, such costs are expensed as incurred. It also clarifies the classification of amounts related to capitalized implementation costs in the financial statements. ASC 2018-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2020. It did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which refines the scope of Topic 848 and provides clarification surrounding certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting that apply to contracts affected by the discounting transition. Under ASU 2021-01, modifications related to reference rate reform would not be considered an event that requires reassessment of previous accounting conclusions. The guidance also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to tailor the existing guidance towards derivative instruments impacted by the discounting transition. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 are effective immediately for all entities and entities may choose to apply the amendments retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021. The Company has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued bydoes not intend to early adopt the Financial Accounting Standards Boardstandard and is in the formprocess of Accounting Standards Updates throughassessing the date theseimpact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements were availableand related disclosures.

10


In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models that separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 allows for a modified or full retrospective method of transition. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not intend to be issuedearly adopt the standard and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective that when adopted, would have a materialis in the process of assessing the impact, if any, on theits consolidated financial statements of the Company.and related disclosures.

Litigation

The Company is and may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from its business activities. While management is not aware of any litigation matter that in and of itself would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of a proceeding, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period. The Company assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual or disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against the Company may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to reasonably possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of the Company’s potential liability.

OnAlso, in April 24,2020, the Court granted the Company’s Motion as to dismissal of the allegations of assignor estoppel and denied the Company’s Motion in all other respects.  Trial, which was originally set

In January 2021, NuVasive filed a Motion for April 27, 2020,Partial Summary Judgment of infringement and validity of the ’156 and ’334 Implant Patents and the Company filed a Motion for Summary Judgment of invalidity of those same patents. These motions are pending before the Court.  Due to the Court’s scheduling in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trial previously scheduled for June 2021 has been taken off calendar due to increasing uncertainties surrounding the current public health crisis. A new trial date has not been set.vacated and will be rescheduled.

The Company believes that the allegations lack merit and intends to vigorously defend all claims asserted. A liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements if it is believed to be probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. It is impossible at this time to assess whether the outcome of this proceeding will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Therefore, in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, the Company has not recorded any accrual for a contingent liability associated with this legal proceeding based on its belief that a liability, while possible, is not probable and any range of potential future charge cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements under which it occasionally indemnifies third-parties for intellectual property infringement claims or claims arising from breaches of representations or warranties. In addition, from time to time, the Company provides indemnity protection to third-parties for claims relating to past performance arising from undisclosed liabilities, product liabilities, environmental obligations, representations and warranties, and other claims. In these agreements, the scope and amount of remedy, or the period in which claims can be made, may be limited. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, due under these indemnities due to the conditional nature of the obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each agreement.

In October 2017, NuVasive filed a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court against Mr. Miles, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, who was a former officer and board member of NuVasive. The Company itself was not initially a named defendant in this lawsuit; however, on June 28, 2018, NuVasive amended its complaint to add the Company as a defendant. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not recorded any liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to this matter. On October 12, 2018, the Delaware Court ordered that NuVasive begin advancing a portion of the legal fees for Mr. Miles’ defense in the lawsuit, as well as Mr. Miles’ legal fees incurred in pursuing advancement of his fees, pursuant to an indemnification agreement between NuVasive and Mr. Miles. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has 0t recorded any liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to this matter.

8.Acquisition of SafeOp Surgical, Inc.

On March 8, 2018, the Company acquired SafeOp, a privately-held provider of neuromonitoring technology designed to enable effective intra-operative nerve health assessment. At the time of the acquisition, SafeOp had FDA 510(k) approval for a somatosensory evoked potential (“SSEP”) monitoring technology. The Company has developed a product that will allow for both free run and triggered specific recording of muscle activity, also known as Electromyography (“EMG”). The Company received FDA clearance for SafeOp’s EMG technology in February 2019 to complement the SSEP solution, and anticipates commercialization of the combined technology solution in mid-2019. In addition to expanding the Company’s market presence in lateral spine surgery, the Company believes that the SafeOp solution will allow it to integrate neuromonitoring into its broader product portfolio and accelerate the transition to procedural integration of the entire portfolio.

As part of the consideration paid, in March 2018, the Company also issued $3 million in convertible notes that were convertible into a total of 987,578 shares of common stock, which included total interest incurred, and issued warrants to purchase 2.2 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share and contain a five year life.  The convertible notes matured on March 9, 2019 and were settled in cash. Upon maturity, the Company recognized the value associated with the beneficial conversion feature calculated at issuance of $0.2 million within interest expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Shares of common stock were issued upon achievement of post-closing milestones as described further below. The warrants issued remain outstanding as of March 31, 2020.

The first of the two milestones was achieved during the year ended December 31, 2018 and resulted in the issuance of 443,421 shares of common stock as payment. The second milestone pertaining to regulatory approval was achieved and the Company issued 886,843 shares of common stock as payment during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

To calculate its interim tax provision, at the end of each interim period the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and applies that to its ordinary quarterly earnings. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences between book and tax amounts, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes.

Intraperiod tax allocation rules require the Company to allocate the provision for income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of earnings, such as discontinued operations. In periods in which the Company has a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, such as discontinued operations, the Company must allocate the tax provision to the other categories of earnings, and then record a related tax benefit in continuing operations

COVID-19 Pandemic

Prior to the spread of COVID-19, we experienced U.S. sales growth of over 30%, which was consistent with previously issued revenue guidance in January 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread to Western Europe and the U.S., we experienced a significant decline in procedures in the last half of March 2020. Procedures per week in the U.S. declined more than 50% compared to the weekly procedure rate experienced earlier in the first quarter of 2020.

The depth and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact individual markets continues to vary. While we cannot reliably estimate the extent or length of the impact, we expect procedure volumes to continue to significantly decline or be delayedclose in the second quarter of 2020 as COVID-19 infections continue to spread and cause additional strain on hospital resources and deferral of elective procedures. We expect sales volumes to begin to eventually increase and eventually recover, as elective procedures begin to re-commence as early as the second quarter of 2020.2021.

In connection with the Offer, on December 16, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors, including Squadron Capital, marketsLLC (collectively, the “Purchasers”), providing for the sale by the Company of 12,421,242 shares of our common stock (the “Private Placement Shares”) at a purchase price of $11.11 per share (the “Private Placement Purchase Price”), in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). On March 1, 2021 we closed the Private placement which generated net proceeds of approximately $131.8 million, net of fees related to the Private Placement. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to fund the Offer Consideration and worldwide economies have also been significantlyfor general corporate and working capital purposes. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, from the Private Placement Closing until the completion of the Offer, we are prohibited from issuing, or entering into any agreement to issue, or announcing the issuance or proposed issuance of, any shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents, subject to certain permitted exceptions. If the Tender Offer Agreement is terminated or the Offer is not completed on or before July 31, 2021, we may be required to repurchase the Private Placement Shares from the Purchasers, for an amount per share equal to the Private Placement Purchase Price plus interest on the Private Placement Purchase Price at a rate of nine percent per year computed from the date of the Private Placement Closing to the date of the repurchase.

COVID-19 Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2021 our revenue was impacted bydue to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possiblewe have seen volatility in sales trends since elective surgeries that this could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Such economic recession coulduse our products have a material adverse effect on our long-term business as hospitals curtail and reduce capital and overall spending. The COVID-19 pandemic and local actions, such as “shelter-in-place” orders and restrictions on our abilitybeen impacted to travel and access our customers or temporary closuresvarying degrees, particularly more during the earlier phases of the facilitiespandemic. Since the earlier phases of our suppliers and their contract manufacturers, could further significantlythe pandemic, demand has since recovered to varying degrees as local conditions have improved in some geographies that have opened after an initial improvement in COVID-19 infection rates, allowing surgeons to resume surgeries.

We continue to monitor the impact our sales and our ability to ship our products and supply our customers. Any of these events could negatively impact the number of procedures performed and have a material adverse effectCOVID-19 pandemic on our business financial condition,and recognize it may continue to negatively impact our business and results of operations or cash flows.during the remainder of 2021 and beyond. Given the present uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, we expect to continue to see volatility through at least the remaining duration of the pandemic as the impact on individual markets and responses to conditions by state and local governments continues to vary.

On September 1, 2016, we completed the sale of our international distribution operationsdeferred tax assets and agreements, including our wholly-owned subsidiariesliabilities, and changes in Japan, Brazil, Australia, China and Singapore and substantially all of the assets of our other sales operations in the United Kingdom and Italy (“International Business”), to an affiliate of Globus (“Globus Transaction”). Following the closing of the Globus Transaction, we now operate in the U.S. market only and are restricted from marketing and selling our products in foreign markets pursuant to the terms and conditions, and for the time periods, set forth in the definitive documents related to the Globus Transaction.tax laws.  

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including

26


those related to revenue recognition, allowances for accounts receivable, inventories and intangible assets, stock-based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumption conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that, in management’s view, are most important in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. Aside from the changes disclosed in Note 2 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management believes there have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 to the critical accounting policies discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2020.5, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplatesOur principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and additional borrowings available under our Term Loan. Our liquidity and capital structure are evaluated regularly within the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

29


At each reporting period, we evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. Our evaluation entails analyzing prospective operating budgets and forecasts for expectationscontext of our cash needsannual operating and comparing those needsstrategic planning process. We consider the liquidity necessary to current cash and cash equivalent balances, and availability under existing credit facilities. Ourfund our operations, which include working capital at March 31, 2020 was $53.8 million (including cash of $27.5 million). In April 2020, we completed a $20 million draw on our credit facility with Squadron Medical Finance Solutions LLC (“Squadron Capital,” or “Squadron”).

Our capital requirements over the next twelve months will depend on many factors, including the ability to achieve anticipated revenue, manage operating expenseneeds, investments in research and the timing of requireddevelopment, investments in inventory and instrument sets to support our customers. We have experienced negativecustomers, as well as other operating cash flows for all historical periods presented and we expect these losses to continue into the foreseeablecosts. Our future particularly as the COVID-19 pandemic impacts operations and surgical volumes. The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our businesscapital requirements will depend on a number ofmany factors including but not limitedour rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the duration, extentexpansion of sales, marketing and severityadministrative activities, and the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products. As current borrowing sources become due, we may be required to access the pandemic and its impact on our customers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. To reduce expenditures and preserve cash, we recently implemented several cost-containment measures, including expense management programs and reductions in projected inventory and capital spending.

As more fully described in Note 5, our existing credit agreements with MidCap and Squadron (collectively, the “current lenders”) include a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum cash balance of $5.0 million. The minimum cash covenant converted to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as of April 1, 2020. We did not meet the fixed charge ratio as of April 2020 andmarkets for additional funding. If we are required to certify ouraccess the debt covenant compliancemarket, we expect to be able to secure reasonable borrowing rates.

Cash was $191.1 million (including $103.3 million in an escrow account reserved for the acquisition of EOS) and $107.8 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The $83.3 million increase in cash was primarily due to the closing of the Private Placement on March 1, 2021, which generated proceeds of $131.8 million, net of offering costs, partially offset by the open market purchase of 2,665,694 outstanding EOS Shares and 157,167 OCEANEs in connection with our lendersacquisition of EOS and increased activity related to our inventory and instrument set builds. The Private Placement proceeds are classified as mezzanine equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the contingent obligation to repurchase the Private Placement Shares in the event the Tender Offer is terminated, or the Offer is not completed by MayJuly 31, 2021.

Available borrowings under our Term Loan were $40.0 million at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In orderWe believe that our existing funds, cash generated from our operations and our existing sources of and access to avoid a default on its existing credit agreements,financing are adequate to satisfy our needs for working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements, and other business initiatives we plan to refinance its existing debt. This factor indicates substantial doubt exists, but our plans are to refinance the debt.strategically pursue.

On May 9, 2020, we executed a commitment letter for $35.0 million in additional secured financing from Squadron. This capital will be made available under the same material terms and conditions as the existing term loan with Squadron. Under the terms of the amended facility, the maturity date on the entire term loan will be extended May 2025. A portion of the proceeds from the expanded facility will be used to retire the Company’s outstanding obligation under its working capital revolver with MidCap Funding. The expanded Squadron credit facility, as proposed, does not include any financial covenants. We expect this transaction to close before the end of May 2020.

We believe the credit refinancing of existing debt under the commitment letter with Squadron is probable to occur, and as such, alleviates any substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Other outstanding debt consists of various variable rate instruments, including debt outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility with MidCap and the Term Loan with Squadron.

Our borrowings under our credit facilities expose us to market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2020,2021, our outstanding floating rate indebtedness totaled $59.9$49.3 million. The primary base interest rate is the LIBOR rate. Assuming the outstanding balance on our floating rate indebtedness remains constant over a year, a 100 basis100-basis point increase in the interest rate would decrease pre-tax income and cash flow by approximately $0.6$0.5 million.

33


Commodity Price Risk

We purchase raw materials that are processed from commodities, such as titanium and stainless steel. These purchases expose us to fluctuations in commodity prices. Given the historical volatility of certain commodity prices, this exposure can impact our product costs. However, because our raw material prices comprise a small portion of our cost of revenue, we have not experienced any material impact on our results of operations from changes in commodity prices. A 10% change in commodity prices would not have had a material impact on our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit pursuant tounder the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periodslines specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or SEC's,SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizesrecognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management isnecessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange ActSEC Rules 13a-15(e)13a - 15(e) and 15d-15(e)15d - 15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.March 31, 2021. Based on thissuch evaluation, our Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer havemanagement has concluded that ouras of March 31, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable level of assurance.

Previously Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As reported in in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we identified deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting related to our revenue and inventory cycles whereby the review of sales orders and inventory transfers were not properly applied to a portion of orders during the year. We reported these deficiencies to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and a material weakness related to these deficiencies existed at December 31, 2019.

34


Remediation of the Material Weakness during the first quarter 2020

The material weakness related to the lack of sufficient review over sales order and inventory transfers resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our revenue and inventory in the annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. To remediate the deficiencies described above and prevent similar deficiencies in the future, we developed and implemented a remediation plan during the first quarter of 2020 which included:

Improving controls to ensure proper documentation over revenue orders and inventory transfers

Assurance that control owners have appropriate training and understanding surrounding affected controls

Although we have implemented these remediation efforts, the deficiencies will not be considered fully remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Any actions we have taken or may take to remediate these deficiencies are subject to continued management review supported by testing, as well as oversight by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

We cannot provide complete assurance that other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies will not occur in the future or that we will be able to remediate such weaknesses or deficiencies in a timely manner. The occurrence of such material weaknesses or our inability to remediate these deficiencies could impair our ability to accurately and timely report our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, thereThere have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarterthe three months ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Despite most of our employees working remotely due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation to assess and minimize any impact on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Litigation

We are and may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from our business activities. While the Company has no material accruals for pending litigation or claims for which accrual amounts are not disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of a proceeding, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect our future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period. We assess contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in our condensed consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, we may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against us may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to reasonably possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of our potential liability.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the SEC on March 17, 202005, 2021 except for those noted below:

COVID-19

Borrowings under certain of our funding arrangements bear an interest rate based on certain tenors of the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus a credit spread. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to multiple countries, includingJuly 2017, the United States, and several European countries. To date, COVID-19 has had, and may continueKingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that, after 2021, it will stop compelling banks to have, an adverse impactsubmit rates for the calculation of LIBOR. The discontinuation, reform, or replacement of LIBOR could result in interest rate increases on our operations, supply chains, distribution channels and expenses as a result of the preventive and precautionary measures that we, our customers, other businesses, and governments are taking, including the deferral of elective medical procedures and diversion of capital and other resources. Due to these impacts and measures, we have experienced and may continue to experience significant and unpredictable reductions in the demand for our products as healthcare customers divert medical resources and priorities towards the treatment of the disease. For example, as COVID-19 reached a global pandemic level in the month of March 2020, we experienced significant decline in procedure volume in the U.S., as healthcare systems diverted resources to meet the increasing demands of managing COVID-19. In addition, the American College of Surgeons, U.S. surgeon general, and other public health bodies have recommended delaying elective surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic, and surgeons and medical societies are evaluating the risks of minimally invasive surgeries in the presence of infectious diseases, which we expect will continue to negatively impact the usage of our products and procedures performed.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have experienced significant business disruptions, including restrictions on our ability to sell, distribute and service our products, temporary closures of our facilities and the facilities of our suppliers and their contract manufacturers, as well as reduction in access to our customers due to diverted resources and priorities and the business hours of hospitals as governments institute prolonged shelter-in-place and/or self-quarantine mandates. For example, our corporate headquarters located in California has instituted shelter-in-place orders applicable to our employees in that region. These unprecedented measures to slow the spread of the virus taken by local governments and health care authorities globally, including the deferral of elective medical procedures and social distancing measures, have had, and will continue to have, a significant negative impact on our operations and financial results.

As a result of the shelter-in-place orders implemented by state and local governments, we have instituted a remote work environment which has impacted our employees working at our California headquarters. The remote work environment makes us more susceptible to fraud, system interruptions and similar errors that from time to time result in lost funds or delayed transactions. To date, our email and computer systems have been subject to and are likely to continue to be the target of, fraudulent attacks, including attempts to cause us to improperly transfer funds or defraud our vendors into improperly transferring funds meant for us. These attacks have increased in frequency and sophistication. When a fraud is successfully perpetrated, funds transferred to a fraudulent recipient are often times not recoverable, and, in certain instances, we may be liable for those unrecovered funds. While we have greatly enhanced our automated and manual controls to mitigate this risk, there can be no assurance that such controls will prevent or detect such attempts, which may result in financial losses or other adverse consequencesfunding arrangements, which could be material to us.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect the economiesour cash flows and financial markets of many countries, which may result in a period of regional, national, and global economic slowdown or regional, national, or global recessions that could curtail or delay spending by hospitals and affect demand for our products as well as increased risk of customer defaults or delays in payments. COVID-19 and the current financial, economic, and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, volume of business, results of operations, and cash flows. Due to the uncertain scope and duration of the pandemic and uncertain timing of global recovery and economic normalization, we are unable to estimate the impacts on our operations and financialoperating results. As a result, we have withdrawn our full year 2020 financial and procedure guidance.
