PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
About Senseonics
We are a medical technology company focused on the development and manufacturing of glucose monitoring products designed to transform lives in the global diabetes community with differentiated, long-term implantable glucose management technology. Our Eversense E3 continuous glucose monitoring, or CGM, system is designed to continually and accurately measure glucose levels in people with diabetes via an under-the-skin sensor, a removable and rechargeable smart transmitter, and a convenient app for real-time diabetes monitoring and management for a period of up to six months, as compared to seven to 14 days for non-implantable CGM systems. We affixed the CE mark to the original Eversense CGM system in June 2016, which marked the first certification for the product to be sold within the European Economic Area, or the EEA. Subsequently, we affixed the CE mark to the extended life Eversense XL CGM system in September 2017 which was available in select markets in Europe and the Middle East. In June 2022, we affixed the CE mark to the extended life Eversense E3 CGM system and Ascensia began commercialization in select markets in Europe during the third quarter of 2022. In June 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, approved the Eversense CGM system to be sold throughout the United States. In June 2019, we received FDA approval for the non-adjunctive indication (dosing claim) for the Eversense system. With this approval and the availability of a new app in December 2019, the Eversense system can now be used as a therapeutic CGM in the United States to replace fingerstick blood glucose measurement to make treatment decisions, including insulin dosing. In February 2022, the 180-day extended life Eversense E3 CGM system was approved by the FDA and Ascensia Diabetes Care Holdings AG, or Ascensia, began commercializing Eversense E3 in the United States in the second quarter of 2022.
We are in the early commercialization stages of the Eversense brand and are focused on driving awareness of our CGM system amongst intensively managed patients and their healthcare providers. In both the United States and our overseas markets, we have entered into strategic partnerships and distribution agreements that allow third party collaborators with direct sales forces and established distribution systems to market and promote Senseonics CGM systems, including Eversense, Eversense XL, Eversense E3 and future generation products.
An important part of your participation in the Plan is understanding the Company, our products, operations, and financial condition. You can keep yourself informed about the Company by reviewing proxy statements, reports to stockholders, and other documents that we prepare for our stockholders and the general public. If you become one of our stockholders, you will be entitled to attend our stockholder meetings and to vote in the election of directors and on other matters brought before our stockholders.
Company History
We were originally incorporated as ASN Technologies, Inc. in Nevada on June 26, 2014. On December 7, 2015, we acquired Senseonics, Incorporated, a medical technology company focused on the design, development and commercialization of glucose monitoring systems to improve the lives of people with diabetes by enhancing their ability to manage their disease with relative ease and accuracy (the “Acquisition”).
In connection with the Acquisition, we reincorporated in Delaware and changed our name to Senseonics Holdings, Inc. Upon the closing of the Acquisition, Senseonics, Incorporated merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours formed solely for that purpose and became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Our principal executive offices are located at 20451 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland 20876-7005. Our telephone number is (301) 515-7260. Our website is located at http://www.senseonics.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not a part of, and should not be construed as being incorporated by reference into, this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section below entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These statements relate to future events or to our future operating or financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about:

our ability to maintain regulatory approval and CE Certificates of Conformity of Eversense and Eversense E3 in the United States and the EU;

Discussions containing these forward-looking statements may be found, among other places, in the sections entitled “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto, filed with the SEC. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “might,” “can,” “will,” “to be,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “objective,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “likely,” “continue” and “ongoing,” or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future, although not all forward-looking statements contain these terms. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of the document containing the applicable statement. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should read this prospectus, together with the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in the foregoing documents by these cautionary statements.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the nonstatutory stock options or restricted stock units covered by this prospectus. However, we may receive proceeds from time to time upon the exercise of nonstatutory stock options we grant under the Plan pursuant to this prospectus. The amount of proceeds that we may receive from the exercise of stock options will depend on the number of stock options we grant under the Plan, the number of such stock options that vest in accordance with their terms and the extent to which such vested stock options are ultimately exercised by the Plan participants. We intend to use the proceeds that we receive from the exercise of any stock options for general corporate purposes. Because restricted stock units do not have an associated exercise price, we will not receive any proceeds from the settlement of restricted stock units that we may issue under the Plan.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The stock options and restricted stock units, and the common stock issuable upon exercise and/or settlement of these awards will be issued directly to the Plan participants, without the use of underwriters, brokers or dealers. Our Compensation Committee will determine the award recipients, who will be eligible participants under the Senseonics Holdings, Inc. 2023 Commercial Equity Plan. The purpose of this distribution is to incentivize the award recipients to exert maximum efforts in fulfillment of their responsibilities to their employer in connection with the commercialization of the Company’s products pursuant to commercial arrangements between Senseonics and their employer, by providing the award recipients a means to benefit from increases in the value of shares of common stock of the Company, further aligning the interests of individuals supporting Eversense commercialization with the interests of Senseonics stockholders.

SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER
Below is a discussion of the material terms of the Plan and the nonstatutory stock options and restricted stock units that we may issue from time to time pursuant to the Plan. It may not answer all of the questions you might have about the Plan and is not intended to go into every detail of the Plan. In addition, please note that the terms of awards granted under the Plan are not required to be the same for everyone. The particular terms of your awards are described further in your grant notice and applicable award agreement, forms of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
You should have received a grant notice and award agreement describing the terms and conditions of your award. Please note that if there are any inconsistencies between the information in this prospectus and the terms of the Plan (or your award), the terms of the Plan (or your award) will control.
You can request a copy of the Plan from our Stock Plan Administrator (our “Plan Administrator”) at Senseonics Holdings, Inc., 20415 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, MD 20876, telephone (301) 515-7260.

General Plan Provisions
1.
What is the purpose and basic structure of the Plan?
The purpose of the Plan is to help the Company provide incentives for participants to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and provide a means by which such persons may benefit from increases in the value of shares of common stock of the Company.
The Plan provides for the discretionary grant of nonstatutory stock options and restricted stock unit awards (collectively, the “awards” or “stock awards”) to eligible recipients.
2.
When did the Plan become effective?
The Plan was approved by our board of directors (the “Board”) on January 10, 2023 (the “Effective Date”).
3.
Who is an eligible recipient of awards under the Plan?
Non-employees of Senseonics, including employees of Ascensia Diabetes Care Holdings AG (the “Employer”) who assist in the commercialization of the Company’s products and who have been selected for participation in the Plan are eligible to receive awards under the Plan (“Eligible Recipients”).
4.
Who determined whether I received an award and its terms?
The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) administers and interprets the Plan. References to the Board in this document should be construed as references to the Compensation Committee, as applicable.
The Compensation Committee currently consists of four members of the Board. Each member of the Compensation Committee serves for so long as the Board deems appropriate and may be removed by the Board at any time. When the Compensation Committee grants an award under the Plan, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to determine the terms of the award, including the number of shares covered by any stock award. The Compensation Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant awards under the Plan to participants within the parameters set by the Board. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee or an authorized officer of the Company decided which type of award you were granted under the Plan and the terms of such award.
Members of the Board normally are nominated by the Board and elected annually by our stockholders. The Board is currently divided into three classes, and members of the Board are elected for staggered, three-year terms. All directors hold office until the expiration of the term for which they were elected and until
 
6

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal from office. The entire Board or any individual director may be removed from office, prior to the expiration of a Board member’s term of office, only in the manner and within the limitations provided by our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the law of Delaware. Information about the current members of the Board and the Compensation Committee is provided in the proxy statement for our last annual meeting of stockholders.
5.
What functions does the Board perform?
The Board has the authority to (i) determine who will be granted awards and the terms of each stock award; (ii) to construe and interpret the Plan and awards granted under it, including to correct any defects, omission or inconsistencies; (iii) to settle all controversies related to the Plan and awards; (iv) to accelerate the time at which an ward may be exercised or vest; (v) to prohibit the exercise of any option during a period of up to 30 days prior to any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of common stock or the share price of the common stock including any corporate transaction, for reasons of administrative convenience; (vi) to suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; (vii) to amend the Plan as deemed necessary or advisable; provided that stockholder approval will be sought if required by applicable law; no amendment will materially impair your award without your written consent; (viii) to submit any amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval, if required by applicable law or exchange listing standards; (ix) approve forms of award agreements and amend the terms of any one or more awards; (x) exercise such powers and perform such acts as deemed necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and that are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan or awards; (xi) to adopt procedures and sub-plans necessary or appropriate to permit participation by otherwise Eligible Recipients who are foreign nationals or employed by the Employer outside of the United States; and (xii) to effect, with the consent of any materially adversely affected participant, (1) the reduction of the exercise, purchase or strike price of any outstanding option or stock award; (2) the cancellation and substitution of any outstanding stock award; or (3) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.
Additional information regarding the Board can be obtained by contacting our Plan Administrator as provided on the first page of this prospectus.
6.
How many shares of common stock may be issued under the Plan?
Subject to the provisions of the Plan relating to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, and comparable restructuring activities, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that are available for issuance pursuant to awards under the Plan will not exceed 10,000,000 shares.
To the extent shares are subject to a stock award granted under the Plan which (i) expires or otherwise terminates without all of the shares covered by the stock award being issued, (ii) is settled in cash (that is, the holder of the stock award receives cash rather than stock), or (iii) are withheld in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations on such stock award or as consideration for the exercise price or purchase price of such stock award, then such expiration, termination, settlement, or withholding of such shares does not result in an issuance of such shares under the Plan and therefore will not reduce or offset the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Plan. If any shares of our common stock issued under a stock award granted under the Plan are forfeited back to us because of the failure to vest, then the forfeited shares will revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan (“Recycled Shares”).
Accordingly, the “Share Reserve” is a limitation on the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan and does not limit the granting of awards because shares subject to awards which are granted but which are not issued do not reduce the Share Reserve and any Recycled Shares can be granted subject to awards more than once.
The stock issuable under the Plan may be shares of our authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock, including shares of our common stock the Company repurchases on the open market.
7.
Will I continue to receive awards under the Plan?
Whether or not awards will be granted to you under the Plan will depend on many factors, such as whether you continue to be an Eligible Recipient of awards under the Plan, the Company’s overall
 
7

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
performance, the Board’s then-current policy on granting awards, and the number of shares remaining in the Plan. Further, the Board has the authority to stop granting awards at any time.
Please note that your receipt of awards under the Plan does not and should not be construed to create an employment or other service relationship between you and the Company.
8.
Can the Board terminate the Plan or change its terms?
The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated. However, any termination of the Plan will not materially impair your rights under your then-outstanding awards without your written consent except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan. Also, the Board has the authority to amend the Plan’s terms, including amending the Plan to take into account tax, securities, or other laws or in response to changes in the accounting treatment of the awards. Some changes, like an amendment increasing the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, require stockholder approval.
9.
Will I receive reports regarding my stock awards?
You will generally not receive regular reports regarding our stock award accounts, but you can always review any outstanding stock awards that you have on the Company’s stock plan administration website. Please contact our Plan Administrator for additional information.
Nonstatutory Stock Options
10.
What is an option?
An option is the right to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock at a fixed price per share (the “exercise price”) payable at the time the option is exercised. Any option granted under the Plan will be a nonstatutory stock option.
11.
How was the exercise price of my option determined?
The Board determined the exercise price of options. The exercise price of each option will not less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date the option was granted. You should review your option grant notice to determine the exercise price of your option.
12.
How is the fair market value of the Companys common stock determined?
The fair market value of our common stock will generally be the closing sales price on the NYSE American or other established stock exchange on the determination date, unless the Board provides otherwise. If there is no closing sales price for our common stock on the determination date, the fair market value will be the closing sales price on the last preceding date for which a quotation exists.
If there is no public market for our common stock, the Board will determine the fair market value in good faith and in a manner that complies with applicable tax rules.
13.
When can I exercise my option?
The Board determined certain terms of your option, including the date or dates after which you may exercise it. The Board has the authority to accelerate the vesting and exercise schedule of outstanding options.
We are not required to grant options with vesting and exercise terms that are the same for every participant, and the terms of your option may vary from the terms described above. Please review your option grant notice and option agreement carefully to determine the vesting and exercise terms of your option.
14.
How do I exercise my option?
You exercise your option by delivering your executed notice of exercise form and payment of the exercise price and any withholding taxes (to the extent applicable) to our Plan Administrator (or such other

person as we may designate), which may include using a web-based tool. You may have received a copy of the notice of exercise form with your option grant notice and agreement, either in writing or electronically. You can request additional copies of the exercise notice from our Plan Administrator. We may in the future establish other procedures for exercising your option.
15.
How do I pay the exercise price of my option?
The Board may, but is not required to, allow you to pay the exercise price as specified in your option agreement as follows: (a) in cash or by check, bank draft, or money order payable to the Company; (b) through a broker-assisted “same day sale” or “cashless exercise” procedure permitted by Regulation T of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board; or (c) in other forms of legal consideration acceptable to the Board and permitted by applicable law. Please review your option grant notice and agreement carefully to determine how you may pay the exercise price of your option.
16.
How do exercise programs through brokers work?
Your option agreement may allow you to exercise your option without first paying the exercise price through a “cashless exercise” ​(also known as a “broker-assisted exercise,” “same day sale” or “sell to cover” procedure). To use this procedure, the Company must have established a cashless exercise procedure and you must provide irrevocable instructions to a brokerage firm reasonably satisfactory to the Company to effect the immediate sale of the shares of our common stock purchased under your option and to pay over to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all required withholding taxes (to the extent applicable). Concurrently with these instructions, you must also direct the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares to the brokerage firm to complete the sale. You should contact our Plan Administrator for information regarding the cashless exercise program and to obtain an instruction form for your broker.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards
17.
What is a restricted stock unit award?
A restricted stock unit award represents your right to receive the economic equivalent of one share of our common stock for each restricted stock unit that vests. The Company may settle restricted stock units that vest by the delivery of shares of our common stock, their cash equivalent, a combination thereof, or any other form of consideration the Board determines and described in your restricted stock unit grant notice and agreement.
You do not generally have any rights as a stockholder until we issue the shares subject to the restricted stock units to you. Specifically, you will not have rights to vote the shares subject to your restricted stock units unless and until those shares are actually issued to you.
Please review your restricted stock unit grant notice and agreement to determine when your restricted stock units vest and the other terms and conditions of your restricted stock units.
18.
Do I have to pay for the shares subject to my restricted stock units?
Unless otherwise determined by the Board at the time of grant, your restricted stock unit award will be granted in consideration of your remaining an Eligible Recipient, such that you will not be required to make a payment with respect to your restricted stock units. If the Board does determine consideration must be paid by you, then such consideration may be paid in any form determined by the Board and permissible under applicable law.
19.
When do my restricted stock units vest?
Please review your restricted stock unit grant notice and agreement to determine when your restricted stock units vest.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Termination of Awards
20.
What happens to my award if I cease to be an Eligible Recipient?
Options:   Company options generally expire ten years after they are granted, although the term may be less than ten years. Further, if you cease to be an Eligible Recipient for any reason (including, without limitation, when your service with the Employer terminates), your option stops vesting immediately and you will generally not be able to exercise any unvested portion of your option after your service has terminated. Regardless of the reason for such cessation, your right to exercise the vested portion of your option generally terminates three months thereafter. Your option may provide for a shorter or longer period of time in which you may exercise your option, but in any event, you may not exercise your option after the expiration of its maximum term. Please review your option grant notice and agreement for the specific terms that apply.
Restricted Stock Units:   When you cease to be an Eligible Recipient for any reason, your restricted stock units stop vesting immediately and you generally will forfeit any unvested restricted stock units at the time of such cessation.
21.
What are the rights of my heirs upon my death?
Options:   If you cease to be an Eligible Recipient as a result of your death (or if you die within a specified period after you cease to be an Eligible Recipient), then your personal representative may exercise your option as to any vested portion. Your option agreement will specify the date by which the option must be exercised, which usually will be three months after your death. In any event, the option will not be exercisable after the expiration of its maximum term. Please review your option grant notice and agreement for the specific terms that apply.
Restricted Stock Units:   When you cease to be an Eligible Recipient for any reason, including due to your death, your restricted stock units stop vesting immediately and you generally will forfeit any unvested units at the time of such cessation.
Sale or Transfer of Awards
22.
Can I transfer my award to a relative or friend?
Options:   Options are generally not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Please consult your option agreement to determine whether you may transfer your option. If your option is not transferable, only you may exercise it during your lifetime and you may not transfer it during your lifetime.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards:   Except as expressly provided in the Plan or your award agreement, restricted stock unit awards granted under the Plan may not be transferred or assigned by you. If your vested restricted stock unit award is settled in shares of our common stock, after such shares subject to your award have been issued, you are free to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in such shares provided that any such actions are in compliance with the provisions of the Plan and applicable law.
23.
Can I sell the stock I receive from my award immediately?
You may generally sell our common stock that you receive from exercising your option or the settlement of your restricted stock unit award, subject to your possession of “inside information,” as discussed below.
24.
If I am aware of inside information, can I sell my stock before this information is disclosed to the public?
No. Any Plan participant who effects transactions in our stock (or provides information to enable other persons to do so) on the basis of inside information is subject to both civil liability and criminal penalties, as well as disciplinary action by us and/or their employer. If you are aware of inside information
 
10

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
you may not sell shares of our stock, whether received upon exercise of an option, settlement of a restricted stock unit award or otherwise, before such information is disclosed to the public.
Generally, “inside information” is information that is both material (very important) and non-public (not disclosed through press releases, newspaper articles, or otherwise to the public that buys and sells securities). Material information may include projections, estimates, and proposals. Whether information is material will depend on the specific circumstances. A general test is whether dissemination of the information to the public would likely affect the market price of our stock or would likely be considered important by people who are considering whether to buy or sell our stock. Certainly, if the information makes you want to buy or sell, it would probably have the same effect on others.
If you are contemplating selling your shares and you think you might have inside information, you should discuss the matter with your supervisor or your employer’s in house legal counsel. If, after this discussion, it is determined that such information is inside information, you must wait to sell your shares until after the information has been made public or the information is no longer inside information, or longer if otherwise required under applicable law.
25.
Do I have to pay a commission when I exercise my option or when I later sell my stock?
You generally pay no commission when you exercise your option unless you engage in a same day sale. When you sell your shares, generally you must use a broker, and you can expect to be charged a commission. We will not buy from you, sell on your behalf (other than in certain circumstances to cover applicable exercise price or tax withholding obligations), or assist you in selling stock that you have received under the Plan.
Corporate Transactions
26.
What happens to my award if there is a change in the Companys capital structure?
If certain changes occur to the Company’s capitalization (e.g., a stock split, or a reverse stock split of our common stock), the Board will proportionately adjust the exercise price or purchase price (if applicable) and number and class of shares subject to your stock award.
27.
What happens to my award in the event of a corporate transaction?
Unless otherwise provided in your stock award agreement, your stock award will receive the following treatment, as applicable, as to all or any portion of your stock award in the event of a corporate transaction (as described below), contingent upon the closing or completion of the corporate transaction:
Stock Awards May be Assumed.   Subject to applicable law, in the event of a corporate transaction, any surviving or acquiring corporation may assume or continue your stock award or substitute a similar award for your stock award.
Treatment.   In the event of a corporate transaction, your vested stock award will terminate if not exercised prior to the occurrence of the corporate transaction. Any portion of your stock award that is unvested will be automatically forfeited without consideration.
Payment for Stock Awards Instead of Exercise.   Notwithstanding the above treatment of your stock award in connection with a corporate transaction, in the event your stock award will terminate if not exercised prior to the occurrence of a corporate transaction, the Board may provide, in its sole discretion, that you may not exercise your stock award but will receive a payment, in such form the Board determines, equal in value, at the occurrence of the corporate transaction, to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property you would have received upon the exercise of your stock award (including, at the Board’s discretion, any unvested portion of your stock award), over (B) the exercise price payable by you in connection with such exercise.
A “corporate transaction” occurs in the event of the consummation of (a) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and our subsidiaries; (b) a sale or other disposition of at least 50% of the Company’s outstanding securities; (c) a merger, consolidation, or similar

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
transaction following which the Company is not the surviving corporation; or (d) a merger, consolidation, or similar transaction following which the Company is the surviving corporation, but the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately preceding the transaction are converted or exchanged into other securities, cash, or other property because of the transaction.
The foregoing is merely a summary; please refer to the Plan document and your stock award agreement regarding what constitutes a corporate transaction.
28.
What happens to my award if the Company dissolves or liquidates?
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, if the Company dissolves or liquidates, all outstanding stock awards will terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation. The Board may provide, in its discretion, that some or all of the outstanding stock awards will become fully vested, exercisable, or no longer subject to forfeiture prior to the dissolution or liquidation.
Miscellaneous
29.
Is the Plan subject to ERISA or is it a qualified retirement plan?
The Plan is not subject to the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and does not enjoy the tax deferral benefits of a qualified retirement plan.
U.S. TAX ISSUES RELATING TO YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN
The information in this section responds to questions you may have about the income tax consequences of participating in the Plan that will be relevant to you if you are a U.S. taxpayer. The following summaries are based on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participating in the Plan as of the date of this prospectus. Tax laws and regulations may change, and interpretations of these laws and regulations can change the way the laws and regulations apply to you. As a result, the information below may be out of date at the time you receive, exercise or vest in a stock award, or sell shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the tax information is not complete. For example, it does not address U.S. state or local tax laws or the application of laws if you are subject to the tax laws of other countries. You should know that non-U.S., U.S. state and local tax treatment may vary from the U.S. federal income tax treatment described herein. Further, this information is general in nature and does not discuss all of the various laws, rules and regulations that may apply. Moreover, the information in the summaries is based on assumptions that may or may not apply to your particular tax or financial situation. The Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular tax result.
You are strongly advised to consult your own independent personal tax advisors as to how the tax or other laws apply to your specific situation.
Nonstatutory Stock Options
30.
Do I have to pay tax when I receive a nonstatutory stock option?
No.
31.
How am I subject to tax if I exercise the vested portion of a nonstatutory stock option?
If you exercise the vested portion of a nonstatutory stock option when the fair market value of the stock is higher than the exercise price of your option, you generally are required to pay tax on the “spread,” that is, the excess of (a) the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise, over (b) the exercise price. The spread on the exercise will be characterized as ordinary income and will be subject to applicable income and employment tax withholding in the case of employee optionees as described below. The Company will be entitled to a business expense deduction based on the amount of ordinary income that you recognize.
 
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
32.
Will the Company withhold taxes on exercise of a nonstatutory stock option?
If you were an employee of the Company during any part of the option term, the Company is required to withhold federal and state income and employment taxes from the spread upon exercise or to otherwise ensure that the withholding taxes due will be paid. Generally, if the Company complies with this requirement, we are allowed a business expense deduction on the amount of ordinary income you recognized upon exercise of your nonstatutory stock option.
The amount of withholding may be insufficient to pay all applicable taxes that may be due with respect to the exercise of your options. See your tax advisor for more details. We are not obligated to issue the shares to you unless you make satisfactory arrangements with us to cover the amount of federal, state, local, and foreign tax withholding due upon the exercise of your nonstatutory stock option (to the extent applicable).
33.
How much tax do I pay when I sell stock received upon the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option?
If you exercised your nonstatutory stock option when the exercise price was lower than the fair market value on the date of exercise, you generally should have paid tax on the difference between the two. Upon the sale of your stock (or other taxable transfer) you generally will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales price and the fair market value at the time of exercise. Generally, your gain or loss will be characterized as a long-term capital gain or loss if you held the stock for more than one year after the date the option was exercised, and a short-term capital gain or loss if you did not hold the stock for that period of time.
You should consult with your tax advisor if you have questions relating to the tax consequences of participation in and the sale of shares under the Plan.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards
34.
Am I subject to income tax when I receive a restricted stock unit award?
No. You generally will not recognize any income upon receipt of your restricted stock unit award.
35.
What are the tax consequences of the receipt of shares of common stock upon settlement of my vested restricted stock unit award?
You generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date the shares are delivered to you in settlement of your vested restricted stock unit award.
36.
Will the Company collect income and employment taxes on vesting or settlement of the shares subject to my restricted stock unit award?
When you vest in your restricted stock unit award (or, possibly later in the year when you are issued the shares), to the extent applicable, we generally must withhold income and employment taxes from other compensation payable to you in an amount based on the ordinary income you recognize, and we will generally be able to take a business expense deduction in the amount of ordinary income that you recognize at that time.
We are not obligated to issue the shares to you unless you make satisfactory arrangements with the Company to cover the amount of federal, state, local, and foreign tax withholding due (to the extent applicable) upon the vesting and delivery of your shares.
37.
What are the tax consequences upon my sale of the shares received upon settlement of my restricted stock unit award?
Upon a subsequent sale of any stock acquired pursuant to your restricted stock unit award, you will recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale price and the sum of the amount paid for such stock plus any amount recognized as ordinary income upon acquisition of the stock. Such gain

or loss will be long-term or short-term depending on whether the stock was held for more than one year from the date of delivery.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, we have broad powers to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Section 145 of the DGCL generally provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include provisions that (i) eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, (ii) require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or other applicable law and (iii) provide us with the power, in our discretion, to indemnify our other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or other applicable law. We believe that these provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. These provisions do not eliminate our directors’ or officers’ duty of care, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under the DGCL. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, for breach of such director’s duty of loyalty to us, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for acts or omissions that such director believes to be contrary to our best interests or the best interests of our stockholders, for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit, for acts or omissions involving a reckless disregard for such director’s duty to us or to our stockholders when such director was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious injury to us or to our stockholders, for acts or omission that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of such director’s duty to us or to our stockholders, for improper transactions between such director and us and for improper loans to directors and officers. These provisions also do not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities law or state or federal environmental laws.
As permitted by Delaware law, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions. We have an insurance policy covering our officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement or are contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
(2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)   That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on

behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6)   That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(7)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 4.1

Senseonics Holdings, Inc.

2023 Commercial Equity Plan

Adopted by the Board of Directors: January 10, 2023

1.General.

(a)               Plan Purpose. The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to provide incentives for Participants to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and any Affiliate and to provide a means by which such persons may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the Common Stock through the granting of Awards.

(b)              Available Awards. The Plan provides for the grant of the following Awards: (i) Nonstatutory Stock Options and (ii) RSU Awards.

2.Shares Subject to the Plan.

(a)               Share Reserve. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2(b) and any adjustments as necessary to implement any Capitalization Adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards from and after the Effective Date will not exceed 10,000,000 shares.

(b)              Share Reserve Operation.

(i)                 Limit Applies to Common Stock Issued Pursuant to Awards. For clarity, the Share Reserve is a limit on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards and does not limit the granting of Awards, except that the Company will keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock reasonably required to satisfy its obligations to issue shares pursuant to such Awards.

(ii)              Actions that Do Not Constitute Issuance of Common Stock and Do Not Reduce Share Reserve. The following actions do not result in an issuance of shares under the Plan and accordingly do not reduce the number of shares subject to the Share Reserve and available for issuance under the Plan: (1) the expiration or termination of any portion of an Award without the shares covered by such portion of the Award having been issued; (2) the settlement of any portion of an Award in cash (i.e., the Participant receives cash rather than Common Stock); (3) the withholding of shares that would otherwise be issued by the Company to satisfy the exercise, strike or purchase price of an Award; or (4) the withholding of shares that would otherwise be issued by the Company to satisfy a tax withholding obligation in connection with an Award.

(iii)            Reversion of Previously Issued Shares of Common Stock to Share Reserve. The following shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to an Award and accordingly initially deducted from the Share Reserve will be added back to the Share Reserve and again become available for issuance under the Plan: (1) any shares that are forfeited back to the Company because of a failure to meet a contingency or condition required for the vesting of such shares; (2) any shares that are reacquired by the Company to satisfy the exercise, strike or purchase price of an Award; and (3) any shares that are reacquired by the Company to satisfy a tax withholding obligation in connection with an Award.

3.Eligibility and Limitations.

(a)               Eligible Award Recipients. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Eligible Recipients may receive Awards under the Plan.

(b)              Limitations on Nonstatutory Stock Options. Nonstatutory Stock Options may not be granted to Participants unless the stock underlying such Awards is treated as “service recipient stock” under Section 409A or unless such Awards otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

4.Options.

Each Option will have such terms and conditions as determined by the Board. The terms and conditions of separate Options need not be identical; provided, however, that each Option Agreement will conform (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Award Agreement or otherwise) to the substance of each of the following provisions:

(a)               Term. No Option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant of such Award or such shorter period specified in the Award Agreement.

(b)              Exercise or Strike Price. The exercise or strike price of each Option will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of such Award.

(c)               Exercise Procedure and Payment of Exercise Price for Options. In order to exercise an Option, the Participant must provide notice of exercise to the Plan Administrator in accordance with the procedures specified in the Option Agreement or otherwise provided by the Company. The Board has the authority to grant Options that do not permit all of the following methods of payment (or otherwise restrict the ability to use certain methods) and to grant Options that require the consent of the Company to utilize a particular method of payment. The exercise price of an Option may be paid, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and as determined by the Board, by one or more of the following methods of payment to the extent set forth in the Option Agreement:

(i)               by cash or check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company;

(ii)              pursuant to a “cashless exercise” program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of the Common Stock subject to the Option, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds; or

(iii)            in any other form of consideration that may be acceptable to the Board and permissible under Applicable Law.

2

(d)            Transferability. Options may not be transferred to third party financial institutions for value. The Board may impose such additional limitations on the transferability of an Option as it determines. In the absence of any such determination by the Board, the following restrictions on the transferability of Options will apply, provided that except as explicitly provided herein, an Option may not be transferred for consideration. An Option will not be transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and will be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.

(e)            Vesting. The Board may impose such restrictions on or conditions to the vesting and/or exercisability of an Option as determined by the Board.

(f)             Post-Termination Exercise Period Following Termination of Eligible Recipient Status. Subject to Section 4(g), if a Participant’s Eligible Recipient Status terminates for any reason, the Participant may exercise his or her Option to the extent vested, but only within the three months following the date of such termination or, if applicable, such other period of time provided in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that in no event may such Award be exercised after the expiration of its maximum term (as set forth in Section 4(a)). Following the date of such termination, to the extent the Participant does not exercise such Award within the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period (or, if earlier, prior to the expiration of the maximum term of such Award), such unexercised portion of the Award will terminate, and the Participant will have no further right, title or interest in the terminated Award, the shares of Common Stock subject to the terminated Award or any consideration in respect of the terminated Award.

(g)            Restrictions on Exercise; Extension of Exercisability. A Participant may not exercise an Option at any time that the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon such exercise would violate Applicable Law. If the exercise of an Option following the termination of a Participant’s Eligible Recipient Status for any reason would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option will terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a total period of time (that need not be consecutive) equal to the applicable Post Termination Exercise Period after the termination of the Participant’s Eligible Recipient Status during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements, and (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.  In addition, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, if the sale of any Common Stock received on exercise of an Option following the termination of the Participant’s Eligible Recipient Status would violate the Company’s insider trading policy, then the Option will terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a period of months (that need not be consecutive) equal to the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period after the termination of the Participant’s Eligible Recipient Status during which the sale of the Common Stock received upon exercise of the Option would not be in violation of the Company’s insider trading policy, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(h)            Whole Shares. Options may be exercised only with respect to whole shares of Common Stock or their equivalents.

3

5.Restricted Stock Units.

(a)              RSU Awards. Each RSU Award will have such terms and conditions as determined by the Board; provided, however, that each RSU Award Agreement will conform (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the Award Agreement or otherwise) to the substance of each of the following provisions.

(b)              Form of Award. An RSU Award represents a Participant’s right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to the number of restricted stock units subject to the RSU Award. As a holder of an RSU Award, a Participant is an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company's unfunded obligation, if any, to issue shares of Common Stock in settlement of such Award and nothing contained in the Plan or any RSU Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate or any other person. A Participant will not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any RSU Award (unless and until shares are actually issued in settlement of a vested RSU Award).

(c)             Consideration. Unless otherwise determined by the Board at the time of grant, an RSU Award will be granted in consideration for the Participant remaining an Eligible Recipient, such that the Participant will not be required to make any payment to the Company with respect to the grant or vesting of the RSU Award, or the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the RSU Award. If, at the time of grant, the Board determines that any consideration must be paid by the Participant (in a form other than the Participant remaining an Eligible Recipient) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in settlement of the RSU Award, such consideration may be paid in any form of consideration as the Board may determine and permissible under Applicable Law.

(d)              Vesting. The Board may impose such restrictions on or conditions to the vesting of an RSU Award as determined by the Board.

(e)              Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid or credited, as applicable, with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to an RSU Award, as determined by the Board and specified in the Award Agreement.

(f)              Settlement of RSU Awards. An RSU Award may be settled by the issuance of shares of Common Stock or cash (or any combination thereof) or in any other form of payment, as determined by the Board and specified in the RSU Award Agreement. At the time of grant, the Board may determine to impose such restrictions or conditions that delay such delivery to a date following the vesting of the RSU Award.

6.Adjustments upon Changes in Common Stock; Other Corporate Events.

(a)              Capitalization Adjustments. In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board shall appropriately and proportionately adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan; and (ii) the class(es) and number of securities and exercise price of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created in order to implement any Capitalization Adjustment. The Board shall determine an appropriate equivalent benefit, if any, for any fractional shares or rights to fractional shares that might be created by the adjustments referred to in the preceding provisions of this Section.

4

(b)              Dissolution or Liquidation. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Awards (other than Awards consisting of vested and outstanding shares of Common Stock not subject to a forfeiture condition) will terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and the shares of Common Stock subject to a forfeiture condition may be reacquired by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of such Award is providing Continuous Service, provided, however, that the Board may determine to cause some or all Awards to become fully vested, exercisable and/or no longer subject to forfeiture (to the extent such Awards have not previously expired or terminated) before the dissolution or liquidation is completed but contingent on its completion.

(c)              Corporate Transaction. The following provisions will apply to Awards in the event of a Corporate Transaction, unless otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the Award or unless otherwise expressly provided by the Board at the time of grant of an Award.

(i)              Awards May Be Assumed. In the event of a Corporate Transaction and subject to Applicable Law, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue any or all Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar awards for Awards outstanding under the Plan (including but not limited to, awards to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Corporate Transaction), and any reacquisition rights held by the Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company (or the successor’s parent company, if any), in connection with such Corporate Transaction. A surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or its parent) may choose to assume or continue only a portion of an Award or substitute a similar award for only a portion of an Award, or may choose to assume or continue the Awards held by some, but not all Participants. The terms of any assumption, continuation or substitution will be set by the Board.

(ii)            Outstanding Awards. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, vested Awards will terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the occurrence of the Corporate Transaction. Any unvested Awards will be automatically forfeited without consideration.

(iii)           Payment for Awards in Lieu of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an Award will terminate if not exercised prior to the effective time of a Corporate Transaction, the Board may provide, in its sole discretion, that the holder of such Award may not exercise such Award but will receive a payment, in such form as may be determined by the Board, equal in value, at the effective time, to the excess, if any, of (1) the value of the property the Participant would have received upon the exercise of the Award (including, at the discretion of the Board, any unvested portion of such Award), over (2) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise.

5

(d)              Appointment of Stockholder Representative. As a condition to the receipt of an Award under the Plan, a Participant will be deemed to have agreed that the Award will be subject to the terms of any agreement governing a Corporate Transaction involving the Company, including, without limitation, a provision for the appointment of a stockholder representative that is authorized to act on the Participant’s behalf with respect to any escrow, indemnities and any contingent consideration.

(e)              No Restriction on Right to Undertake Transactions. The grant of any Award under the Plan and the issuance of shares pursuant to any Award does not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, rights or options to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

7.Administration.

(a)              Administration by Board. The Board will administer the Plan unless and until the Board delegates administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees, as provided in subsection (c) below.

(b)              Powers of Board. The Board will have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:

(i)              To determine from time to time (1) which of the persons eligible under the Plan will be granted Awards; (2) when and how each Award will be granted; (3) what type or combination of types of Award will be granted; (4) the provisions of each Award granted (which need not be identical), including the time or times when a person will be permitted to receive an issuance of Common Stock or other payment pursuant to an Award; (5) the number of shares of Common Stock or cash equivalent with respect to which an Award will be granted to each such person; and (6) the Fair Market Value applicable to an Award.

(ii)            To construe and interpret the Plan and Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it deems necessary or expedient to make the Plan or Award fully effective.

(iii)           To settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Awards granted under it.

(iv)            To accelerate the time at which an Award may first be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award Agreement stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

6

(v)             To prohibit the exercise of any Option during a period of up to 30 days prior to the consummation of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of Common Stock or the share price of the Common Stock including any Corporate Transaction, for reasons of administrative convenience.

(vi)            To suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Suspension or termination of the Plan will not Materially Impair rights and obligations under any Award granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the affected Participant.

(vii)          To amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable. Except as provided above, rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan will not be Materially Impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (1) the Company requests the consent of the affected Participant, and (2) such Participant consents in writing.

(viii)         To submit any amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval, to the extent required by Applicable Law or exchange listing standards.

(ix)           To approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan and to amend the terms of any one or more Awards, including, but not limited to, amendments to provide terms more favorable to the Participant than previously provided in the Award Agreement, subject to any specified limits in the Plan that are not subject to Board discretion; provided however, that, a Participant’s rights under any Award will not be Materially Impaired by any such amendment unless (1) the Company requests the consent of the affected Participant, and (2) such Participant consents in writing.

(x)             Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and that are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan or Award Agreements.

(xi)           To adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit and facilitate participation in the Plan by, or take advantage of specific tax treatment for Awards granted to, Eligible Recipients who are foreign nationals or employed by an Employer outside the United States (provided that Board approval will not be necessary for immaterial modifications to the Plan or any Award Agreement to ensure or facilitate compliance with the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction).

(xii)          To effect, at any time and from time to time, subject to the consent of any Participant whose Award is Materially Impaired by such action, (1) the reduction of the exercise price (or strike price) of any outstanding Option; (2) the cancellation of any outstanding Option and the grant in substitution therefor of (A) a new Option or RSU Award under the Plan, covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock, (B) cash and/or (C) other valuable consideration (as determined by the Board); or (3) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.

7

(c)              Delegation to Committee. The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. If administration of the Plan is delegated to a Committee, the Committee will have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to another Committee or a subcommittee of the Committee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board will thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. Each Committee may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee or subcommittee to which it has delegated its authority hereunder and may, at any time, revest in such Committee some or all of the powers previously delegated. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with any Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated.

(d)              Effect of Board’s Decision. All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board or any Committee in good faith will not be subject to review by any person and will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

(e)              Delegation to an Officer. The Board or any Committee may delegate to one or more Officers the authority to do one or both of the following: (i) designate Eligible Recipients to be recipients of Options (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, other types of Awards) and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the terms thereof, and (ii) determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to such Awards granted to such Eligible Recipients; provided, however, that the resolutions or charter adopted by the Board or any Committee evidencing such delegation will specify the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to the Awards granted by such Officer. Any such Awards will be granted on the applicable form of Award Agreement most recently approved for use by the Board or the Committee, unless otherwise provided in the resolutions approving the delegation authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Board nor any Committee may delegate to an Officer who is acting solely in the capacity of an Officer (and not also as a Director) the authority to determine the Fair Market Value.

8.Tax Withholding.

(a)             Withholding Authorization. As a condition to acceptance of any Award under the Plan and to the extent applicable to a Participant, a Participant authorizes withholding from any amounts payable to such Participant, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for (including), any sums required to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, local and/or foreign tax or social insurance contribution withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with the exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award, as applicable. Accordingly, a Participant may not be able to exercise an Award even though the Award is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue shares of Common Stock subject to an Award, unless and until such obligations are satisfied.

(b)             Satisfaction of Withholding Obligation. To the extent permitted by the terms of an Award Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any U.S. federal, state, local and/or foreign tax or social insurance withholding obligation relating to an Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) causing the Participant to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with the Award; (iii) withholding cash from an Award settled in cash; (iv) withholding payment from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant; (v) by allowing a Participant to effectuate a “cashless exercise” pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board; or (vi) by such other method as may be set forth in the Award Agreement.

8

(c)              No Obligation to Notify or Minimize Taxes; No Liability to Claims. Except as required by Applicable Law, the Company has no duty or obligation to any holder of an Award to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising such Award. Furthermore, the Company has no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of an Award or a possible period in which the Award may not be exercised. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Award to the holder of such Award and will not be liable to any holder of an Award for any adverse tax consequences to such holder in connection with an Award. As a condition to accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant (i) agrees to not make any claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors, employees or Affiliates related to tax liabilities arising from such Award or other Company compensation and (ii) acknowledges that such Participant was advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, financial and other legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Award and has either done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so. Additionally, each Participant acknowledges any Option granted under the Plan is exempt from Section 409A only if the exercise or strike price is at least equal to the “fair market value” of the Common Stock on the date of grant as determined by the Internal Revenue Service and there is no other impermissible deferral of compensation associated with the Award. Additionally, as a condition to accepting an Option granted under the Plan, each Participant agrees not make any claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors, employees or Affiliates in the event that the Internal Revenue Service asserts that such exercise price or strike price is less than the “fair market value” of the Common Stock on the date of grant as subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service.

(d)             Withholding Indemnification. As a condition to accepting an Award under the Plan, in the event that the amount of the Company’s and/or its Affiliate’s withholding obligation in connection with such Award was greater than the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or its Affiliates, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and/or its Affiliates harmless from any failure by the Company and/or its Affiliates to withhold the proper amount.

9.Miscellaneous.

(a)              Source of Shares. The stock issuable under the Plan will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market or otherwise.

(b)              Use of Proceeds from Sales of Common Stock. Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Awards will constitute general funds of the Company.

9

(c)              Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the instrument, certificate or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Board consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action approving the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or number of shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement or related grant documents as a result of a clerical error in the Award Agreement or related grant documents, the corporate records will control and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement or related grant documents.

(d)              Stockholder Rights. No Participant will be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Award unless and until (i) such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant to its terms, if applicable, and (ii) the issuance of the Common Stock subject to such Award is reflected in the records of the Company.

(e)              No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan, any Award Agreement or any other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Award granted pursuant thereto will confer upon any Participant any right to continue to be an Eligible Recipient. In addition, the receipt of an Award under the Plan by a Participant does not create an employment or other service relationship between the Participant and the Company. Further, nothing in the Plan, any Award Agreement or any other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Award will constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or Employer regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or service or confer any right or benefit under the Award or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of the Award Agreement and/or Plan.

(f)               Execution of Additional Documents. As a condition to accepting an Award under the Plan, the Participant agrees to execute any additional documents or instruments necessary or desirable, as determined in the Plan Administrator’s sole discretion, to carry out the purposes or intent of the Award, or facilitate compliance with securities and/or other regulatory requirements, in each case at the Plan Administrator’s request.

(g)             Electronic Delivery and Participation. Any reference herein or in an Award Agreement to a “written” agreement or document will include any agreement or document delivered electronically, filed publicly at www.sec.gov (or any successor website thereto) or posted on the Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled by the Company to which the Participant has access). By accepting any Award, the Participant consents to receive documents by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through any on-line electronic system established and maintained by the Plan Administrator or another third party selected by the Plan Administrator. The form of delivery of any Common Stock (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company.

(h)             Securities Law Compliance. A Participant will not be issued any shares in respect of an Award unless either (i) the shares are registered under the Securities Act; or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Each Award also must comply with other Applicable Law governing the Award, and a Participant will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with Applicable Law.

10

(i)              Transfer or Assignment of Awards; Issued Shares. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the form of Award Agreement, Awards granted under the Plan may not be transferred or assigned by the Participant. After the vested shares subject to an Award have been issued, or in the case of RSU Awards, after the issued shares have vested, the holder of such shares is free to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in such shares provided that any such actions are in compliance with the provisions herein and Applicable Law.

(j)              Section 409A. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in an Award Agreement, the Plan and Award Agreements will be interpreted to the greatest extent possible in a manner that makes the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder exempt from Section 409A, and, to the extent not so exempt, in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A. If the Board determines that any Award granted hereunder is not exempt from and is therefore subject to Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award will incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, and to the extent an Award Agreement is silent on terms necessary for compliance, such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into the Award Agreement.

(k)             Change in Time Commitment or Status. In the event that (i) a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services for an Employer is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant has a change in status from a full-time Employee to a part-time Employee or takes an extended leave of absence) after the date of grant of any Award to the Participant, or (ii) if a Participant experiences a Change in Status, the Board may determine, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to (A) make a corresponding reduction in the number of shares subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest after the date of such change in time commitment or Change in Status, and (B) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting schedule applicable to such Award.

(l)               Choice of Law. This Plan and any controversy arising out of or relating to this Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in any application of any law other than the law of the State of New York.

10.Covenants of the Company.

The Company will seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency, as may be deemed to be necessary, having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking will not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Award. If, after reasonable efforts and at a reasonable cost, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary or advisable for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company will be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained. A Participant is not eligible for the grant of an Award or the subsequent issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Award if such grant or issuance would be in violation of any Applicable Law.

11

11.Severability.

If all or any part of the Plan or any Award Agreement is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of the Plan or such Award Agreement not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of the Plan or any Award Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

12.Termination of the Plan.

(the “Company”) has granted you an option under its 2023 Commercial Equity Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice (the “Option”). Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Grant Notice or the Plan shall have the meanings set forth in the Grant Notice or Plan, as applicable. The terms of your Option as specified in the Grant Notice and this Stock Option Agreement constitute your Option Agreement.

(a)             Section 6 regarding the impact of a Capitalization Adjustment, dissolution, liquidation, or Corporate Transaction on your Option; and

 

(b)             Section 8 regarding the tax consequences of your Option.

 

Your Option is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations, which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the Option Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

 

2.             Vesting. Your Option will vest, if at all, as provided in your Grant Notice, subject to the provisions contained herein and the terms of the Plan.

 

3.             Exercise.

 

(a)             You may generally exercise the vested portion of your Option for whole shares of Common Stock at any time during its term by delivery of payment of the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes (if any) and other required documentation to the Plan Administrator in accordance with the exercise procedures established by the Plan Administrator, which may include an electronic submission. Please review Sections 4(h) and 7(b)(v) of the Plan, which may restrict or prohibit your ability to exercise your Option during certain periods.

 

(b)             To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, you may pay your Option exercise price as follows:

 

(i)            cash, check, bank draft or money order;

 

 

 

 

(ii)             pursuant to a “cashless exercise” program as further described in Section 4(c)(ii) of the Plan;

 

(iii)            by delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock as further described in Section 4(c)(iii) of the Plan; or

 

(iv)            subject to Company and/or Committee consent at the time of exercise, by a “net exercise” arrangement as further described in Section 4(c)(iv) of the Plan.

 

4.             Term. You may not exercise your Option before the commencement of its term or after its term expires. The term of your Option commences on the Date of Grant and expires upon the earliest of the following:

 

(a)             three months after the termination of your Eligible Recipient Status for any reason;

 

(b)             immediately upon a Corporate Transaction if the Board has determined that the Option will terminate in connection with a Corporate Transaction;

 

(c)             the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice; or

 

(d)             the day before the 10th anniversary of the Date of Grant.

5.             Withholding Obligations. As further provided in Section 8 of the Plan: (a) you may not exercise your Option unless any tax withholding obligations, to the extent applicable, are satisfied, and (b) at the time you exercise your Option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from any amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a “cashless exercise” pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise in connection with the exercise of your Option in accordance with the withholding procedures established by the Company. Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your Option even though the Option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue shares of Common Stock subject to your Option, unless and until such obligations are satisfied. In the event that the amount of the Company’s withholding obligation, if any, in connection with your Option was greater than the amount actually withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.

 

6.             Transferability. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(d) of the Plan, your Option is not transferable, except by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you.

8.             No Liability for Taxes.

If any part of this Option Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity will not invalidate any portion of this Option Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of this Option Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid will, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid

Attachment I

RSU Award Agreement

Senseonics Holdings, Inc.

2023 Commercial Equity Plan

Award Agreement (RSU Award)

As reflected by your Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you a RSU Award under its 2023 Commercial Equity Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of restricted stock units as indicated in your Grant Notice (the “RSU Award”). Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Grant Notice or the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Grant Notice or Plan, as applicable. The terms of your RSU Award as specified in the Grant Notice and this Award Agreement for your RSU Award (the “Agreement”) and the Grant Notice constitute your “RSU Award Agreement”.

The general terms applicable to your RSU Award are as follows:

1.            Governing Plan Document. Your RSU Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, including but not limited to the provisions in:

(a)               Section 6 of the Plan regarding the impact of a Capitalization Adjustment, dissolution, liquidation, or Corporate Transaction on your RSU Award; and

(b)              Section 8 of the Plan regarding the tax consequences of your RSU Award.

Your RSU Award is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations, which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the RSU Award Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

2.             Grant of the RSU Award. This RSU Award represents your right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that is equal to the number of restricted stock units indicated in the Grant Notice as modified to reflect any Capitalization Adjustment and subject to your satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth therein (the “Restricted Stock Units”). Any additional Restricted Stock Units that become subject to the RSU Award pursuant to Capitalization Adjustments as set forth in the Plan and the provisions of Section 4 below, if any, shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Restricted Stock Units covered by your RSU Award.

3.             Vesting. Your Restricted Stock Units will vest, if at all, as set forth in your Grant Notice, subject to the provisions contained herein and the terms of the Plan.

4.             Dividends. You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your RSU Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution that does not result from a Capitalization Adjustment as provided in the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your RSU Award after such shares have been delivered to you.

5.             Withholding Obligations. As further provided in Section 8 of the Plan, you hereby authorize withholding from any amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for, any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise in connection with your RSU Award (the “Withholding Obligation”) in accordance with the withholding procedures established by the Company. Unless the Withholding Obligation (if applicable) is satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock in respect of the RSU Award. In the event the Withholding Obligation of the Company arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you that the amount of the Withholding Obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.

6.             Date of Issuance.

(a)               The issuance of shares in respect of the Restricted Stock Units is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and will be construed and administered in such a manner. Subject to the satisfaction of the Withholding Obligation, if any, in the event one or more Restricted Stock Units vests, the Company shall issue to you one (1) share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit (subject to any adjustment under Section 4 above, and subject to any different provisions in the Grant Notice) that vests on the applicable vesting date(s) or on a later date as determined by the Company but in no event later than the Issuance Deadline (as defined below).

(b)              In addition, the following provisions shall apply to the extent applicable at a vesting date when shares of Common Stock are registered under the Securities Act, unless otherwise determined by the Company. If:

(i)              the applicable vest date does not occur (1) during an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s then-effective policy on trading in Company securities, or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on an established stock exchange or stock market (including but not limited to under a previously established written trading plan that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and was entered into in compliance with the Company’s policies (a “10b5-1 Arrangement”) or under such other policy expressly approved by the Company), and

(ii)             either (1) a Withholding Obligation does not apply, or (2) the Company decides, prior to the applicable vest date, (A) not to satisfy the Withholding Obligation by withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares otherwise due to you under this Award, and (B) not to permit you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer (including but not limited to a commitment under a 10b5-1 Arrangement) and (C) not to permit you to pay your Withholding Obligation in cash,

then the shares that would otherwise be issued to you on the applicable vest date will not be delivered on such applicable vest date and will instead be delivered on the first business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the open public market or on such other date determined by the Company, but in no event later than the Issuance Deadline.

The “Issuance Deadline” means (a) December 31 of the calendar year in which the applicable vest date occurs (that is, the last day of your taxable year in which the applicable vest date occurs), or (b) if and only if permitted in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), no later than the date that is the 15th day of the third calendar month of the applicable year following the year in which the shares of Common Stock issuable as a result of the applicable vest date under this Award are no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(d).

7.              Transferability. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, your RSU Award is not transferable, except by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

8.              Corporate Transaction. Your RSU Award is subject to the terms of any agreement governing a Corporate Transaction involving the Company, including, without limitation, a provision for the appointment of a stockholder representative that is authorized to act on your behalf with respect to any escrow, indemnities and any contingent consideration.

9.              No Liability for Taxes. As a condition to accepting the RSU Award, you hereby (a) agree to not make any claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors, employees or Affiliates related to tax liabilities arising from the RSU Award and (b) acknowledge that you were advised to consult with your own personal tax, financial and other legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of the RSU Award and have either done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so.

10.            Severability. If any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity will not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid.  Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid will, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

11.            Choice of Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to that state’s conflicts of laws rules.

12.            Effect on Other Employee Benefit Plans. The value of your RSU Award shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Employer.

13.            Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by you and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Board by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to you, and provided that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, no such amendment materially adversely affecting your rights hereunder may be made without your written consent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of your RSU Award as a result of any change in Applicable Laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of your RSU Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

14.            Questions. If you have questions regarding these or any other terms and conditions applicable to your RSU Award, including a summary of the applicable federal income tax consequences, please see the prospectus.

Re: Registration on Form S-3

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Senseonics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and you have requested our opinion in connection with the filing by the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) covering the offering of nonstatutory stock options (the “Options”) and restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units” and, collectively with the Options, the “Awards”) covering up to 10,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock”), including the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the Options and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, pursuant to the Company’s 2023 Commercial Equity Plan (the “Plan”).

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon (a) the Registration Statement and the related prospectus, (b) the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as currently in effect, (c) the Plan, (d) the form of Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement to be used for grants under the Plan, (e) the form of Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice and Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement to be used for grants under the Plan, and (f) originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. We have assumed the genuineness of signatures, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all persons other than the Company where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not independently verified such matters.

 

Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and as to the Awards constituting valid and binding obligations of the Company, the laws of the State of New York. We express no opinion to the extent that any other laws are applicable to the subject matter hereof and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation.

 

We express no opinion to the extent that future issuances of securities of the Company, antidilution adjustments to outstanding securities of the Company and/or other matters, cause the Awards to be exercisable for or subject to settlement by more shares of Common Stock than the number that then remain available for issuance under the certificate of incorporation of the Company. We have assumed that the per share exercise price of the Options will at least equal the par value of the Common Stock.

 

With regard to our opinion concerning the Awards constituting valid and binding obligations of the Company:

 

(i)       our opinion is subject to, and may be limited by, (a) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, debtor and creditor, and similar laws which relate to or affect creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing) regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

(ii)       our opinion is subject to the qualification that (a) the enforceability of provisions for indemnification or limitations on liability may be limited by applicable law and by public policy considerations, and (b) the availability of specific performance, an injunction or other equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the court before which the request is brought;

 

(iii)       we express no opinion with respect to any provision of the Awards that: (a) relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of any federal court of the United States of America or any federal appellate court to adjudicate any controversy related to the Awards; (b) specifies provisions may be waived in writing, to the extent that an oral agreement or implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has been created that modifies such provision; (c) contains a waiver of an inconvenient forum; (d) provides for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole payments or other economic remedies; (e) relates to advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitations, trial by jury, service of process or procedural rights; (f) restricts non-written modifications and waivers; (g) provides for the payment of legal and other professional fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (h) relates to exclusivity, election or accumulation of rights or remedies; or (i) provides that provisions of the Awards are severable to the extent an essential part of the agreed exchange is determined to be invalid and unenforceable; and

 

(iv)       we express no opinion as to whether a state court outside of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in the Awards.

 

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.        The Awards, when duly granted under the Plan and as described in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus, will be legal and binding obligations of the Company.

 

2.        Shares issued upon exercise of Options duly granted under the Plan and as described in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus, when issued against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Options and otherwise as specified in the applicable Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (except as to shares issued pursuant to certain deferred payment arrangements, which will be fully paid and nonassessable when such deferred payments are made in full).

 

3.       Shares issued upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units duly granted under the Plan and as described in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus, when issued upon satisfaction of the conditions for settlement specified in the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice and Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid an nonassessable.

 

We consent to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of Commission thereunder.
