ORTHOFIX MEDICAL INC.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business and basis of presentation

Description of the Business

Orthofix Medical Inc. (“Orthofix”) and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), following its merger with SeaSpine Holdings Corporation ("SeaSpine") that was completed in January 2023, is a leading global spine and orthopedics company with a comprehensive portfolio of biologics, innovative spinal hardware, bone growth therapies, specialized orthopedic solutions, and a leading surgical navigation system. The Company's products are distributed in approximately 68 countries worldwide.

The Company is headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, and has primary offices in Carlsbad, California, with a focus on spinal product innovation and surgeon education, and in Verona, Italy, with an emphasis on product innovation, production, and medical education for orthopedics. The combined Company's global research and development, commercial, and manufacturing footprint also includes facilities and offices in Irvine, California, Toronto, Canada, Sunnyvale, California, Wayne, Pennsylvania, Olive Branch, Mississippi, Maidenhead, United Kingdom, Munich, Germany, Paris, France, and Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The merger with SeaSpine was completed on January 5, 2023, with SeaSpine continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orthofix following the transaction. For additional discussion of the merger with SeaSpine, see Note 3. The shares of common stock of Orthofix, as the corporate parent entity in the combined company structure, continue to trade on NASDAQ under the symbol "OFIX". The combined company will be renamed at a later date and until then will continue to be known as Orthofix Medical Inc.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition; contractual allowances; allowances for expected credit losses; inventories; valuation of intangible assets; goodwill; fair value measurements, including contingent consideration; litigation and contingent liabilities; tax matters; and share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Changes in Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation.

2. Recently adopted accounting standards, recently issued accounting pronouncements

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08— Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-08, which aims to address diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. The amendments require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2023, on a prospective basis. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of $2.2 million in contract liabilities associated with acquired revenue contracts as a result of the Company’s merger with SeaSpine, which closed on January 5, 2023.

Effective Date

 

Status of Company's Evaluation

Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (ASU 2022-03)

 

Clarifies the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. Certain of the provisions are to be applied retrospectively with other provisions applied prospectively.

 

January 1, 2024

 

The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Other recently issued ASUs, excluding those ASUs which have already been disclosed as adopted or described above, were assessed and determined not applicable, or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 5, 2023, the Company and SeaSpine completed an all-stock merger of equals (the "Merger") to create a leading global spine and orthopedics company with highly complementary portfolios of biologics, innovative spinal hardware, bone growth therapies, specialized orthopedic solutions, and a leading surgical navigation system. As a result of the Merger, each share of SeaSpine common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into the right to receive 0.4163 shares of Orthofix common stock.

The Merger is being accounted for as an acquisition of SeaSpine by Orthofix under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Thus, Orthofix is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. In identifying the acquirer, Orthofix and SeaSpine considered the structure of the transaction and other actions contemplated by the merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), relative outstanding share ownership, market values, the composition of the combined company's board of directors, and the relative size of Orthofix and SeaSpine. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of SeaSpine and its subsidiaries have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.

The total estimated fair value of consideration associated with the Merger as of the acquisition date was comprised of:

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Certain of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed were valued utilizing Level 3 inputs and assumptions. A final determination of the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not been made and the following should be considered preliminary. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material. The final determination is subject to completion of the Company's valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities and deferred income taxes, which it expects to complete within one year of the acquisition date.

The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Merger. As a result, the Company recorded goodwill totaling $120.4 million, which was assigned to the Global Spine reporting segment. Specifically, the goodwill includes the assembled workforce and synergies associated with the combined entity. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The IPR&D intangible assets are considered an indefinite-lived asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the development period after the acquisition, these assets are not amortized but, instead, are subject to impairment assessment. Upon completion of each IPR&D project, the Company will determine the useful life of the asset and begin amortization.

The Company recognized $3.3 million and $9.8 million in direct acquisition-related costs, which exclude integration-related activities, that were expensed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. These costs are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), primarily within general and administrative expenses. The Company's results of operations included $64.4 million and $125.3 million of net sales from SeaSpine for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and a net loss attributable to SeaSpine of $24.9 million and $52.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Pro Forma Financial Information

Due to the Merger closing on January 5, 2023, all SeaSpine financial results for fiscal year 2023, except for the first four days of January, are included in Orthofix's condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 are based on the Company's historical condensed consolidated financial statements adjusted to reflect as if the Merger closed as of January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro-forma information makes certain adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense to reflect the fair value recognized in the purchase price allocation and to remove one-time transaction-related costs. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the Merger closed as of January 1, 2022.

6. Long-term debt

In connection with the closing of the Merger on January 5, 2023, the Company terminated SeaSpine's credit facility and all applicable commitments with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and paid an aggregate amount of $26.9 million reflecting all of the outstanding obligations in respect of principal, interest, and fees, including a $0.6 million prepayment premium.

On January 3, 2023, the Company borrowed $30.0 million under its $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., dated as of October 25, 2019 (as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated March 1, 2023, the "Original Credit Agreement") for working capital purposes, including to fund certain Merger-related expenses. An additional $15.0 million and $6.0 million was borrowed on March 3, 2023 and May 10, 2023, respectively. Therefore, as of June 30, 2023, the Company had $51.0 million in principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the secured revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants. The effective interest rate on amounts borrowed was 6.4%, with interest accrued of $0.6 million as of June 30, 2023, within other current liabilities. An additional $8.0 million was borrowed on July 5, 2023.

On June 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Limited Consent, Limited Waiver and Second Amendment to the Original Credit Agreement (the "Consent and Amendment" and the Original Credit Agreement as amended by the Consent and Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Under the terms of the Consent and Amendment, the parties agreed to reduce the size of the secured revolving credit facility, off of which certain fees are based, from $300.0 million to $175.0 million, and to increase the applicable interest rate in certain circumstances. The maturity date of the credit facility remains October 25, 2024.

The Consent and Amendment permits the Company, for purposes of determining compliance with financial covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, to include certain expense addbacks in its calculation of EBITDA and to increase the share of EBITDA attributable to certain foreign subsidiaries beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company also agreed to pledge under the Amended Credit Agreement its ownership interest in the Company's Italian subsidiary, Orthofix S.r.L., and cause Orthofix S.r.L. to become a loan party to the Credit Agreement.

12


 

The Company had no borrowings on its available lines of credit in Italy, which provide up to an aggregate amount of €5.5 million ($6.0 million) as of June 30, 2023.

Neo Medical Convertible Loan Agreements and Equity Investment

In October 2020, the Company purchased preferred equity securities of Neo Medical SA, a privately held Swiss-based company developing a new generation of products for spinal surgery ("Neo Medical"), for consideration of $5.0 million. The Company also entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Company loaned Neo Medical CHF 4.6 million, or $5.0 million at the date of issuance (the “Convertible Loan”). In October 2021, the Company entered into a second Convertible Loan Agreement (the “Second Convertible Loan” and together with the Convertible Loan, the “Neo Medical Convertible Loans”), pursuant to which the Company loaned Neo Medical an additional CHF 0.6 million, or $0.7 million as of the date of issuance.

The preferred equity securities are recorded in other long-term assets and are considered an investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the Company measures this investment at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

The table below presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s investment in Neo Medical preferred equity securities:

The Company elected to convert the Second Convertible Loan into shares of Neo Medical’s preferred equity securities in January 2022. The Convertible Loan is recorded in other long-term assets as an available for sale debt security as of June 30, 2023. The fair value of the Convertible Loan is based upon significant unobservable inputs, including the use of option-pricing models, Monte Carlo simulations for certain periods, and a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Therefore, the Company categorized this investment as a Level 3 financial asset.

Some of the more significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Convertible Loan include applicable discount rates, implied volatility, the likelihood and projected timing of repayment or conversion, and projected cash flows in support of the estimated enterprise value of Neo Medical. Holding other inputs constant, changes in these assumptions could result in a significant change in the fair value of the Convertible Loan. If the amortized cost of the Convertible Loan exceeds its estimated fair value, the security is deemed to be impaired, and must be evaluated for the recognition of a credit loss. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has not recognized any credit loss related to the Convertible Loan.

Bone Biologics Equity Securities

Until August 2022, the Company held an investment in common stock of Bone Biologics Inc. (“Bone Biologics”, NASDAQ: BBLG), a developer of orthobiologic products. The Company disposed of its remaining holdings in Bone Biologics equity securities during the third quarter of 2022.

Other Investments

Other investments represent assets and investments recorded at fair value that are not deemed to be material for disclosure on an individual basis. The fair value of these assets is based upon significant unobservable inputs, such as probability-weighted discounted cash flow models, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Therefore, the Company has categorized these assets as Level 3 financial assets. As of June 30, 2023, this balance was classified within other current assets.

Spinal Kinetics Contingent Consideration

The Company recognized a contingent consideration obligation in connection with the acquisition of Spinal Kinetics in 2018. The fair value of the remaining Spinal Kinetics contingent consideration, attributable to a revenue-based milestone, was concluded to be zero as of June 30, 2023, as the Company did not achieve the milestone prior to April 30, 2023, the end of the measurement period for achieving such milestone.

Lattus Contingent Consideration

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a contingent consideration obligation under a purchase agreement between SeaSpine and Lattus Spine LLC ("Lattus") executed in December 2022. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be required to make installment payments at certain dates based on future net sales of certain products (the "Lateral Products").

The estimated fair value of the Lattus contingent consideration as of the closing of the Merger, January 5, 2023, was $11.2 million. The estimated fair value of the Lattus contingent consideration is determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model and significant inputs which are not observable in the market. The significant inputs include assumptions related to the timing and probability of the product launch dates, estimated future sales of the products, estimated commission rates, discount rates matched to the timing of payments, and probability of success rates.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As a result of the Merger, the Company became party to agreements with certain distributor partners that provide the Company with an option to purchase, and an option for those partners to require the Company to purchase, the distribution business of those partners at specified future dates. At such time, the Company or distributor may (in certain cases, subject to satisfying certain conditions) submit written notice to the other of its intention to exercise its rights and initiate or require the purchase. Upon receipt of the written notice, the Company and the distributor will work in good faith to consummate the purchase. Under these agreements, the purchase price would be paid in shares of the Company's common stock. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock as of June 30, 2023, assuming the options under all the relevant agreements were exercised, the estimated total number of shares the Company would issue under these agreements was approximately 1.3 million shares. The Company has received notification from one such distributor, who has notified the Company of its decision to exercise its buyout option. The Company is currently in negotiations with this distributor in regard to the consummation of the potential acquisition.

Contingencies

In addition to the matters described below, in the normal course of its business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits from time to time and may be subject to certain other contingencies. The Company believes any losses related to these matters are individually and collectively immaterial as to a possible loss and range of loss.

Italian Medical Device Payback (“IMDP”)

In 2015, the Italian Parliament introduced rules for entities that supply goods and services to the Italian National Healthcare System. A key provision of the law is a ‘payback’ measure, requiring medical device companies in Italy to make payments to the Italian government if medical device expenditures exceed regional maximum ceilings. Companies are required to make payments equal to a percentage of expenditures exceeding maximum regional caps.

In the third quarter of 2022, the Italian Ministry of Health provided guidelines to the Italian regions and provinces on seeking payback of expenditure overruns relating to the years ended December 31, 2015, through December 31, 2018. Since receiving the guidelines, several regions and provinces have requested payment from affected medical device companies, including the Company. The Company has taken legal action to dispute the legality of such measures.

The Company accounts for the estimated cost of the IMDP as sales and marketing expense and periodically reassesses the liability based upon current facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company recorded an expense of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and an expense of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has accrued $6.8 million related to the IMDP, which it has classified within other long-term liabilities; however, the actual liability could be higher or lower than the amount accrued once all legal proceedings are resolved and upon further clarification of the IMDP by the Italian authorities for more recent fiscal years.

11. Business segment information

The Company has two reporting segments: Global Spine and Global Orthopedics. The primary metric used in managing the Company is adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excludes the impact of share-based compensation, gains and losses related to changes in foreign exchange rates, charges related to the SeaSpine merger and other strategic investments, acquisition-related fair value adjustments, legal judgments and settlements, and charges related to initial compliance with regulations set forth by the European Union Medical Device Regulation. Corporate activities comprise operating expenses and activities not directly identifiable within the two reporting segments, such as human resources, finance, legal, and information technology functions.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the equity awards of SeaSpine (including stock options and restricted stock units) outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were converted into equity awards denominated in shares of Orthofix common stock. The Company issued options to purchase 1.9 million shares of Orthofix common stock and 0.5 million shares of time-based vesting restricted stock in connection with the conversion of such awards. The estimated fair value of the portion of the SeaSpine equity awards for which the required service period had been completed at the time of the closing of the Merger was treated as purchase consideration. The remaining estimated fair value is recorded as compensation expense over the remainder of the service period associated with the awards.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company issued 0.3 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, of common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises, and the vesting of restricted stock awards and units. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company issued 0.5 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, of common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises, and the vesting of restricted stock awards and units.

14. Income taxes

Generally, income tax provisions for interim periods are based on an estimated annual income tax rate, adjusted for discrete tax items, with any changes affecting the estimated annual effective tax rate recorded in the interim period in which the change occurs. Due to the impact of losses not benefitted by the Company’s U.S. and Italian operations, the Company determined the estimated annual effective tax rate method would not provide a reliable estimate of the Company’s overall annual effective tax rate. As such, the Company has calculated the tax provision using the actual effective rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Due to the impact of temporary differences on the U.S. current tax liability without any deferred tax benefit, the actual effective rate may vary in future quarters.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the effective tax rate was (4.0%) and 18.2%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the effective tax rate was (2.2%) and (46.3%), respectively. The primary factors affecting the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were certain losses not benefitted and tax amortization on certain acquired intangibles.

15. Earnings per share (“EPS”)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, no adjustments were made to net income for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in diluted EPS computations.

Global Spine

Global Spine offers the following product categories:

-
Bone Growth Therapies, which manufactures, distributes, sells, and provides support services for market leading devices used adjunctively in high risk spinal fusion procedures and to treat both non-union and acute fractures in the orthopedic space. Bone Growth Therapies uses distributors and a direct sales channel to sell its devices and provide associated support services to hospitals, healthcare providers, and patients in the U.S.
-
Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies is comprised of a broad portfolio of spine fixation and motion preservation implant products used in surgical procedures of the spine, one of the most comprehensive biologics portfolios in both the demineralized bone matrix and cellular allograft market segments, and image-guided surgical solutions to facilitate degenerative, minimally invasive, and complex surgical procedures. Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies products are sold through a network of distributors and sales representatives to hospitals and healthcare providers on a global basis for Spinal Implants and Enabling Technologies, and primarily within the U.S. for Biologics.

Segment Review

Our business is managed through two reporting segments: Global Spine and Global Orthopedics. The primary metric used in managing the business by segment is adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP financial measure) (which is described further in Note 11 to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein). The following table presents adjusted EBITDA by segment and reconciles consolidated adjusted EBITDA to loss before income taxes:

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased $26.9 million

Unfavorable change in net loss of $98.4 million

26


 

Favorable change of $75.4 million associated with non-cash gains and losses, largely related to the amortization of the inventory fair value step up at acquisition, share-based compensation expense, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, depreciation and amortization, and inventory reserve expenses
Unfavorable change of $3.9 million relating to changes in working capital accounts, primarily attributable to changes in inventory levels and accounts payable, partially offset by recoupment activity associated with the CMS Accelerated and Advance Payment Program in the prior year and favorable changes in accounts receivable


 

Two of our primary working capital accounts are accounts receivable and inventory. Days sales in receivables were 55 days at June 30, 2023, compared to 59 days at June 30, 2022. Inventory turns decreased to 0.9 times as of June 30, 2023 compared to 1.3 times as of June 30, 2022.

Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities increased $17.4 million

Increase of $29.4 million attributable to cash acquired as a result of the Merger
Increase of $1.5 million associated with the payment of a contingent consideration milestone achieved in 2022 related to a previous asset acquisition
Partially offset by an increase of $13.0 million in capital expenditures, largely due to the inclusion of SeaSpine's financial results within the six months of 2023 financial results

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities increased $23.1 million

Increase of $51.0 million associated with borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility for working capital purposes, including to fund certain Merger-related expenses, during 2023
Increase of $2.0 million related to the conclusion of the FITBONE Contract Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with Wittenstein, resulting in a $2.0 million payment in the first quarter of 2022
Partially offset by a decrease of $26.9 million associated with the termination and repayment of SeaSpine's credit facility
Further offset by a decrease in net proceeds of $1.8 million from the issuance of common shares and a decrease in other financing activities of $1.2 million

Credit Facilities

On January 3, 2023, we borrowed $30.0 million under our $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility for working capital purposes, including to fund certain Merger-related expenses. Following the completion of the Merger, we terminated SeaSpine's credit facility and all applicable commitments with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and repaid all outstanding obligations in respect to principal, interest, and fees on January 5, 2023.

Additional borrowings were made under the credit facility subsequent to the closing of the acquisition and as of June 30, 2023, we had $51.0 million borrowings outstanding under our secured revolving credit facility. We borrowed an additional $8.0 million on July 5, 2023.

On June 13, 2023, we entered into a Limited Consent, Limited Waiver and Second Amendment to the Original Credit Agreement (the "Consent and Amendment" and the Original Credit Agreement as amended by the Consent and Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Under the terms of the Consent and Amendment, the parties agreed to reduce the size of the secured revolving credit facility, off of which certain fees are based, from $300.0 million to $175.0 million, and to increase the applicable interest rate in certain circumstances. The maturity date of the credit facility remains October 25, 2024.

The Consent and Amendment permits us, for purposes of determining compliance with financial covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, to include certain expense addbacks in our calculation of EBITDA and to increase the share of EBITDA attributable to certain foreign subsidiaries beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023. We also agreed to pledge under the Amended

27


 

Credit Agreement our ownership interest in our Italian subsidiary, Orthofix S.r.L., and cause Orthofix S.r.L. to become a loan party to the Amended Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding under our available lines of credit in Italy, which provide up to an aggregate amount of €5.5 million ($6.0 million). We were in compliance with all required financial covenants of our credit facilities as of June 30, 2023.

For information regarding contingencies, see Note 8 to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

IGEA S.p.A Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement

In April 2021, we entered into an Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with IGEA S.p.A (“IGEA”), an Italian manufacturer and distributor of bone and cartilage stimulation systems. Per the terms of the License Agreement, we have the exclusive right to sell IGEA products in the U.S. and Canada. As consideration for the License Agreement, we agreed to pay up to $4.0 million, with certain payments contingent upon achieving an FDA milestone. As of June 30, 2023, we have a remaining liability under this agreement of $1.0 million which is accrued within other current liabilities.

CGBio Co., Ltd. Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement

On July 30, 2022, we entered into a long-term strategic License and Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with CGBio Co., Ltd. (“CGBio”), a developer of innovative, synthetic bone grafts. The agreement grants us the exclusive right to conduct pre-clinical and clinical studies, commercialize, promote, market, and sell the Novosis recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) bone growth materials and other future tissue regenerative solutions in the U.S. and Canada. As consideration, we paid CGBio an upfront payment of $1.4 million with additional payments contingent upon the achievement of specified development milestones.

Lattus Spine LLC ("Lattus") Contingent Consideration

In connection with the Merger, we assumed a contingent consideration obligation under a purchase agreement between SeaSpine and Lattus executed in December 2022. Under the terms of the agreement, we may be required to make installment payments at certain dates based on future net sales of certain products (the "Lateral Products"). The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement as of June 30, 2023, was $9.9 million; however, the actual amount ultimately paid could be higher or lower than the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. As of June 30, 2023, we classified the remaining contingent consideration liability within other long-term liabilities. For additional discussion of this matter, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes in any of our material contractual obligations as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion of operating results is based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The preparation of these statements 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the quarter covered by this report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by senior management in its financial and operational decision-making. We believe it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP financial measures used to supplement information regarding the performance and underlying trends of our business operations to facilitate comparisons to historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of our operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of our underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this filing may have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for GAAP financial measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost that can have a material effect on cash flows.

Constant Currency

Constant currency is calculated by using foreign currency rates from the comparable, prior-year period to present net sales at comparable rates. Constant currency can be presented for numerous GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to analyze net sales without the impact of changes in foreign currency rates.

Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary metric used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in managing the business. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excludes the impact of: share-based compensation, gains and losses related to changes in foreign exchange rates, SeaSpine Merger-related costs, strategic investments, acquisition-related fair value adjustments, legal judgments and settlements, and charges related to initial compliance with regulations set forth by the European Union Medical Device Regulation.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from net cash from operating activities. Management uses free cash flow as an important indicator of how much cash is generated or used by our normal business operations, including capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow as a measure of progress on its capital efficiency and cash flow initiatives.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to our market risks as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These include controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.

On January 5, 2023, the Company completed a merger of equals with SeaSpine, whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 52% and 35%, respectively, of the condensed consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As permitted by the rules of the SEC, the Company will exclude SeaSpine from its annual assessment of the effectiveness on internal control over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2023, the year of acquisition. Management continue to monitor SeaSpine's internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 8 to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein, which is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as follows.

We maintain a $175.0 million secured revolving credit facility secured by a pledge of substantially all of our property.

We and certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”) are party to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended to date, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $175.0 million secured revolving credit facility maturing on October 25, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, $51.0 million was outstanding under the facility, all of which was borrowed during the fiscal year. The effective interest rate on amounts borrowed was 6.4%, with accrued interest of $0.6 million as of June 30, 2023, within other current liabilities.

Certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are required to guarantee the repayment of any obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Borrowers' obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the personal property assets of the Borrowers and each of the Guarantors, including accounts receivables, deposit accounts, intellectual property, investment property, and inventory, equipment, and equity interests in their respective subsidiaries.

The Amended 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 Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain, on a consolidated basis as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, a total net leverage ratio of not more than 3.5 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type, and upon the occurrence of an event of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding amounts borrowed under the facility may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated.

We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants, and that there were no events of default, at June 30, 2023 (and in prior periods). However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet such financial covenants in future fiscal quarters. The failure to do so could result in an event of default, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position in the event that we have significant amounts drawn under the facility at such time.

We hold our cash and cash equivalents that we use to meet our working capital and operating expense needs in deposit accounts that could be adversely affected if the financial institutions holding such funds fail.

We hold our cash and cash equivalents used to meet our working capital and operating expense needs in deposit accounts at multiple financial institutions. The balance held in these accounts typically exceeds the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") standard deposit insurance limit or similar government guarantee schemes. If a financial institution in which we hold such funds fails or is subject to significant adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets, we could be subject to a risk of loss of all or a portion of such uninsured funds or be subject to a delay in accessing all or a portion of such uninsured funds. Any such loss or lack of access to these funds could adversely impact our short-term liquidity and ability to meet our operating expense obligations.

For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"), and Signature Bank, were closed by state regulators and the FDIC was appointed receiver for each bank. The FDIC created successor bridge banks and all deposits of SVB and Signature Bank were transferred to the bridge banks under a systemic risk exception approved by the United States Department of Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC. If financial institutions in which we hold funds for working capital and operating expenses were to fail, we cannot provide any assurances that such governmental agencies would take action to protect our uninsured deposits in a similar manner.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

We have not made any repurchases of our common stock during the second quarter of 2023.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Not applicable.

31


 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

During the last fiscal quarter, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted, modified or terminated any contract, instruction, or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act or any "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement."

(k)

Notice of Meetings. (a) The Corporation shall give notice of any annual or special meeting of stockholders in the manner set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

4

 


 

(b)
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Section 3 Notice of Meetings. (a) The Corporation shall give notice of any annual or special meeting of stockholders. Notices of meetings of the stockholders shall state the place, if any, date, and hour of the meeting, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such record date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting. In the case of a special meeting, the notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. No business other than that specified in the notice thereof shall be transacted at any special meeting. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, notice shall be given to each stockholder entitled to receive notice of such meeting not fewer than ten (10) days or more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.

(b) Notice to stockholders may be given by personal delivery, mail, or, with the consent of the stockholder entitled to receive notice, by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission. If mailed, such notice shall be delivered by postage prepaid envelope directed to each stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears in the records of the Corporation and shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail. Notice given by electronic transmission pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a facsimile telecommunication number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (iii) if by posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice, and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by personal delivery, by mail, or by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(c) Notice of any meeting of stockholders need not be given to any stockholder if waived by such stockholder either in a writing signed by such stockholder or by electronic transmission, whether such waiver is given before or after such meeting is held. If such a waiver is given by electronic transmission, the electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

Section 4
Quorum and Adjournment. Except as otherwise required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the stock issued and outstanding, entitled to vote thereat, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. If such majority shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, a majority of the stockholders present, although less than a quorum, or the presiding officer of such meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another time and place.
Section 5
Adjourned Meetings. When a meeting is adjourned to another date, time and/or place, if any (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication), unless otherwise provided by these Bylaws, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the date, time, and place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are (i) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; (ii) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxyholders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication; or (iii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with Section 3(a). At the adjourned meeting, the stockholders may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If an

5

 


 

adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or, if after an adjournment, a new record date is fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting specifying the new date, time and place (if changed) shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 6
Vote Required. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws:
(a)
Each director shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the director, provided, however, that the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors if (i)(A) the Secretary of the Corporation receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors in compliance with the advance notice requirements for stockholder nominees for directors set forth in Article II, Section 13(A) of these Bylaws for annual meetings of the Corporation or Article II, Section 13(B) of these Bylaws for special meetings of the Corporation or otherwise becomes aware that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors and (B) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or prior to the third business day next preceding the date the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders or (ii) the number of nominees for election to the Board of Directors at such meeting exceeds the number of directors to be elected; and
(b)
Whenever any corporate action other than the election of directors is to be taken, it shall be authorized by a majority in voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of stockholders and entitled to vote on the subject matter.

For purposes of this Section 6 of Article II, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director (with “abstentions” and “broker nonvotes” not counted as a vote cast either “for” or “against” that director’s election). If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors, then the stockholders shall not be permitted to vote “against” a nominee.

Section 7
Manner of Voting; Proxies. (a) At each meeting of stockholders, each stockholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy. Each stockholder shall be entitled to vote each share of stock having voting power and registered in such stockholder’s name on the books of the Corporation on the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting.
(b)
Each person entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only so long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Proxies need not be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation until the meeting is called to order, but shall be filed before being voted. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, the following shall constitute valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority:
(i)
A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or the stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee, or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature; and
(ii)
A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person or persons who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization, or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission; provided, however, that any such telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram, or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that any such telegram, cablegram, or other electronic transmission is valid, the inspectors

6

 


 

or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination, shall specify the information upon which they relied.

Any copy, facsimile telecommunication, or other reliable reproduction of a writing or electronic transmission authorizing a person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or electronic transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or electronic transmission could be used; provided, however, that such copy, facsimile telecommunication, or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or electronic transmission.

(c)

14

 


 

record date shall not be more than sixty (60) or fewer than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of such meeting, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

Such record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing such record date is adopted, and shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 4
Contract Rights. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred upon any current or former director or officer of the Corporation pursuant to this Article VI (whether by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of Another Enterprise) shall be contract rights, shall vest when such person becomes a director or officer of the Corporation, and shall continue as vested contract rights even if such person ceases to be a director or officer of the Corporation. Any amendment, repeal, or modification of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, this Article VI (or any provision hereof) shall not adversely affect any right to indemnification or advancement of expenses granted to any person pursuant hereto with respect to any act or omission of such person occurring prior to the time of such amendment, repeal, modification, or adoption (regardless of whether the Proceeding relating to such acts or omissions, or any proceeding relating to such person’s rights to indemnification or to advancement of expenses, is commenced before or after the time of such amendment, repeal, modification, or adoption), and any such amendment, repeal, modification, or adoption that would adversely affect such person’s rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder shall be ineffective as to such person, except with respect to any threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding that relates to or arises from (and only to the extent such Proceeding relates to or arises from) any act or omission of such person occurring after the effective time of such amendment, repeal, modification, or adoption.

Claims.

22

 


 

the case may be, may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim.
(b)
If successful in whole or in part in any suit brought pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Article VI, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), the person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or an advancement of expenses hereunder or the person from whom the Corporation sought to recover an advancement of expenses, as the case may be, shall be entitled to be paid by the Corporation the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of prosecuting or defending such suit.
(c)
In any suit brought by a person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not a suit brought by a person seeking to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses hereunder), it shall be a defense that the person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification has not met any applicable standard for indemnification under applicable law. With respect to any suit brought by a person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or right to advancement of expenses hereunder or any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), neither (i) the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to commencement of such suit that indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards of conduct under applicable law, nor (ii) an actual determination by the Corporation that such person has not met such applicable standards of conduct, shall create a presumption that such person has not met the applicable standards of conduct or, in a case brought by such person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification, be a defense to such suit.
(d)
In any suit brought by a person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), the burden shall be on the Corporation to prove that the person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses or the person from whom the Corporation seeks to recover an advancement of expenses is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such an advancement of expenses, under this Article VI or otherwise.
Section 6
Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. Any indemnification required or permitted under this Article VI (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met all applicable standards of conduct set forth in this Article VI and Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of DelawareDGCL. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer of the Corporation at the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (b) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to any person who is not a director or officer of the Corporation at the time of such determination, in the manner determined by the Board of Directors (including in such manner as may be set forth in any general or specific action of the Board of Directors applicable to indemnification claims by such person) or in the manner set forth in any agreement to which such person and the Corporation are parties.
Section 7
Non-Exclusive Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided in this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be such director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.
Section 8
Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of Another Enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not

23

 


 

the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI or otherwise.
Section 9
Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article VI shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VI (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VI (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.
