Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 10, 2020, OrthoPediatrics Corp. (“the Company”) issued a press release announcing the initial domestic launch of the ApiFix Minimally Invasive Deformity Correction ("ApiFix") system. The ApiFix technology is a posterior dynamic deformity correction system approved for use in AIS patients with Lenke type 1 and Lenke type 5 curves of 40° to 60° and acts as an internal brace implanted unilaterally on the concave aspect of the curvature. It enables surgeons to perform a unique treatment and provide permanent curve correction while retaining spine flexibility, all via a less invasive surgical procedure compared to spinal fusion. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
The Company does not intend for this Item 7.01 or Exhibit 99.1 to be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
