SURGALIGN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1.

Operations and Organization

Surgalign Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries (“Surgalign” or the “Company”), (formerly known as RTI Surgical Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“RTI”), is a global medical technology company advancing the science of spine care, focused on delivering innovative solutions that drive superior clinical and economic outcomes. The Company is building off a legacy of high quality and differentiated products and continues to invest in clinically validated innovation to deliver better surgical outcomes and improve patient’s lives. Surgalign markets products throughout the United States and in more than 50 countries worldwide through an expanding network of top independent distributors. Surgalign, a member of AdvaMed (“Advanced Medical Technology Association”), is headquartered in Deerfield, IL, with commercial, innovation and design centers in San Diego, CA, Marquette MI and Wurmlingen, Germany.

 

On July 20, 2020, pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement and subsequent amendments entered into in 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”), RTI sold its original equipment manufacturing business and business related to processing donated human musculoskeletal and other tissue and bovine and porcine animal tissue (collectively, the “OEM Businesses”) to Ardi Bidco Ltd. (the “Buyer”) and its affiliates for a purchase price of $440 million of cash, subject to certain adjustments (the “Transactions”). More specifically, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, RTI sold to the Buyer and its affiliates all of the issued and outstanding shares of RTI OEM, LLC (which, prior to the Transactions, was converted to a corporation and changed its name to “RTI Surgical, Inc.”), RTI Surgical, LLC (which, prior to the Transactions, was converted to a corporation and changed its name to “Pioneer Surgical Technology, Inc.”), Tutogen Medical (United States), Inc. and Tutogen Medical GmbH. The Transactions were previously described in the Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 18, 2020. Subsequent to the Transactions, RTI was renamed to Surgalign Holdings, Inc, operating as Surgalign Spine Technologies. References in this Form 10-Q to Surgalign or the Company refer to the Company including, where obvious from the context, the disposed OEM Businesses. “Legacy RTI” refers to the Company prior to the acquisition of Paradigm Spine on March 8, 2019.  

 

Prior to the sale of the OEM Businesses, the Company operated two reportable segments: Spine and OEM.  Subsequent to the sale of the OEM Businesses, the Company operates reportable one segment.

 

On Sept 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Holo Surgical Inc., a privately-held technology company that is developing an Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence digital surgery platform (‘ARAI’), to enable digital spine surgery. Total consideration for the transaction is valued at up to $125 million, consisting of consideration valued at $42 million payable at closing in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, plus potential future milestone payments that will be paid over a six-year period when and if certain regulatory and revenue milestones are achieved (see note 23).

 

 

COVID-19

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as the corresponding governmental response and the Company’s management of the crisis has had a significant impact on the Company’s business. The consequences of the outbreak and impact on the economy continues to evolve and the full extent of the impact is uncertain as of the date of this filing. The outbreak has already brought a significant disruption to the operations of the Company.

At times throughout 2020, many hospitals and other medical facilities canceled elective surgeries, reduced and diverted staffing and diverted other resources to patients suffering from the infectious disease and limited hospital access for non-patients, including our direct and indirect sales representatives. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, surgeons and their patients are required, or are choosing, to defer procedures in which our products would be used, and many facilities that specialize in the procedures in which our products would be used have closed or reduced operating hours. These circumstances have negatively impacted the ability of our employees and distributors to effectively market and sell our products. In addition, even after the pandemic has subsided and/or governmental orders no longer prohibit or recommend against performing such procedures, patients may continue to defer such procedures out of concern of being exposed to coronavirus or for other reasons.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also caused adverse effects on general commercial activity and the global economy, which has led to an economic slowdown or recession, and which has adversely affected our business, operating results or financial condition. The adverse effect of the pandemic on the broader economy has also negatively affected demand for procedures using our products, and could cause one or more of our distributors, customers, and suppliers to experience financial distress, cancel, postpone or delay orders, be unable to perform under a contract, file for bankruptcy protection, go out of business, or suffer disruptions in their business. This could impact our ability to provide products and otherwise operate our business, as well as increase our costs and expenses.

6


The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to and could continue to lead to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of future capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future.

The above and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of COVID-19 has resulted in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including the possibility that new adverse information may emerge concerning COVID-19 and additional actions to contain it or treat its impact may be required.

In response to the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic and the resulting federal and local guidelines, the Company furloughed or reduced the hours of a majority of its U.S.-based employees in Q2 2020, but they have since returned to work.

2.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown.  The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. As noted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, certain September 30, 2019 balances have been restated. The Company includes acquisition, disposal, integration and separation related costs, which are predominantly composed of legal, consulting, advisor fee expenses, within the “Transaction and integration expense” line on the condensed consolidated comprehensive loss.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Surgalign, Inc., Paradigm Spine, LLC (“Paradigm”), Pioneer Surgical Technology, Inc. (“Pioneer Surgical”), and Zyga Technology, Inc. (“Zyga”).  The financial positions and operating results of the disposed OEM Businesses have been reported as Discontinued Operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the current as well as prior comparative periods.

 

Immaterial restatement of earnings per share (EPS)

 

The Company identified errors in the calculation of its historical basic and diluted EPS.  In the historical periods presented in the filing, the weighted average basic and diluted shares incorrectly included treasury stock, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units.  The weighted average shares used in the restated basic and diluted EPS from continuing operations and discontinued operation has been corrected.

 

 

 

Significant New Accounting Policies

Derivative Instruments – The Company reviews debt agreements for embedded features. If these features are not clearly and closely related to the debt host, they meet the definition of a derivative and require bifurcation from the host contract. All derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. The Company will adjust the carrying value of the derivative liability to fair value at each subsequent reporting date. The changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in the period they occur.

 

Retirement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Related Events

On July 17, 2020, the Company received a notification from WSHP Biologics Holdings, LLC (“WSHP”) seeking redemption on or before September 14, 2020 of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), all of which are held by WSHP. On July 24, 2020 the Company redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $67 million, a Certificate of Retirement was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State retiring the Series A Preferred Stock, and the WSHP representatives on the Company’s Board of Directors, Curtis M. Selquist and Chris Sweeney resigned from the Board of Directors.

 

 

Liquidity      

As the global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, it could continue to materially and adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows for an indeterminate period of time.

 

In connection with the Transactions on July 20, 2020, the Company (i) paid in full its $80.0 million revolving credit facility under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of June 5, 2018, by and among Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as RTI Surgical, Inc.), as a borrower, Pioneer Surgical Technology, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, as a borrower, the other loan

parties thereto as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender and as administrative agent for the JPM Lenders, as amended (the “2018 Credit Agreement”), (ii) terminated the 2018 Credit Agreement, (iii) paid in full its $100.0 million term loan and $30.0 million incremental term loan commitment under that certain Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2019, by and among Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc., as borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Ares Capital Corporation, as administrative agent for the other lenders party thereto, as amended (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) and (iv) terminated the 2019 Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. 

 

 

 

As discussed in Note 21, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has an active investigation that remains ongoing.  The Company continues to cooperate with the SEC in relation to the investigation. Based on current information available to the Company, the impact associated with SEC investigation and shareholder litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued, and we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as the corresponding governmental response and the Company’s management of the crisis has had a significant impact on the Company’s business. The consequences of the outbreak and impact on the economy continues to evolve and the full extent of the impact is uncertain as of the date of this filing. The outbreak has already brought a significant disruption to the operations of the Company.  The continued disruptions to our business as a result of COVID-19 has resulted in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including the possibility that new adverse information may emerge concerning COVID-19 and additional actions to contain it or treat its impact may be required.

 

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash of $95,790 and an accumulated deficit of $384,922. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2020, we had a loss from continuing operations of $75,890. We have incurred losses from operations in the previous two fiscal years and did not generate positive cash flows from operations in fiscal year 2019 or for the nine-months ended September 30, 2020. The Company closed on the sale of the OEM business to Ardi Bidco, Ltd., on July 20, 2020 and upon the close of the sale, the Company repaid all of its debt obligations in full.  Additionally, all preferred stock was also redeemed by Water Street Healthcare Partners, resulting in cash payment of $66,519 during the third quarter of 2020.  

 

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company had announced that it had acquired Holosurgical, Inc. (“Holosurgical”).  The acquisition closed on October 23, 2020 (see Note 22, Subsequent Events).  Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Surgalign paid $30 million in cash and issued 6.25 million shares of Surgalign common stock valued at approximately $12 million. In addition, further contingent consideration valued at up to $83 million may be payable in common stock and cash upon achievement of certain regulatory, developmental, and commercial milestones.  The first milestone achievement to Holosurgical relating to regulatory approval could occur as early as the second half of 2021.

 

The Company is projecting it will continue to generate significant negative operating cash flows over the next 12-months and beyond.  In consideration of i) COVID-19 uncertainties, ii) negative cash flows that are projected over the next 12-month period, iii) the income taxes to be paid related to the gain on sale associated with the OEM business, and iv) approx. $10 million in contingent consideration amounts which are expected to become due to the former owners of Holosurgical if regulatory approval in the US is obtained in 2021, which would paid through combination of common stock and cash; the Company has forecasted the need to raise  additional capital in order to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s operating plan for the next 12-month period also includes continued investments in its product pipeline which will necessitate additional debt and/or equity financing in addition to the funding of future operations through 2021 and beyond. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s on-going cash requirements through 2021, the Company will be required to scale back operations, reduce research and development expenses, and postpone, as well as suspend capital expenditures, in order to preserve liquidity. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

8


 

In consideration of the inherent risks and uncertainties that exist in relation to both elective surgeries, as well as in relation to worsening of global economic conditions resulting from ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, along with the cash paid to acquire Holosurgical and potential contingent consideration milestone payments, a portion of which are expected to be paid in common stock and/or cash which may become due in 2021;  management has concluded that substantial doubt exists with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management is planning to raise additional debt and/or equity financing and will attempt to curtail discretionary expenditures in the future, if necessary, however, in consideration of the risks and uncertainties mentioned, such plans cannot be considered probable of occurring at this time.  

The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its funding requirements on a continuous basis, to maintain existing financing and to succeed in its future operations. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 was issued to reduce the complexity of accounting for income taxes for those entities that fall within the scope of the accounting standard. The guidance is to be applied using a prospective method, excluding amendments related to franchise taxes, which should be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2020, and there was no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates. This guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 and it did not have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) which provides relief to certain entities adopting ASU 2016-13 (discussed below). The amendments accomplish those objectives by providing entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, that are within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, upon adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. ASU 2019-05 has the same transition as ASU 2016-13 and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with adoption permitted after this update. The Company adopted ASU 2019-05 and it did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04 Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which provides updates and clarifications to three previously-issued ASUs: 2016-01 Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities; 2016-13 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, described further above and which the Company has not yet adopted; and 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which the Company early adopted effective January 1, 2018. The updates related to ASU 2016-13 have the same transition as ASU 2016-13 and are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with adoption permitted after the issuance of ASU 2019-04. The updates related to ASU 2017-12 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The updates related to ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 and it did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

9


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology.  The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models previously used under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard also applies to financial assets arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivables. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit losses for trade receivables is determined based on historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  The Company has concluded that the adoption of the standard was not material as the composition of the trade receivables at the reporting date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages.  Further, the risk characteristics of the Company’s customer and composition of the portfolio have not changed significantly over time.      

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company beginning after December 31, 2019. Certain disclosures in ASU 2018-13 are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 and it did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations

 

In connection with the Transactions, on July 20, 2020, RTI completed the disposition of its OEM Businesses.  Accordingly, the OEM Business is reported as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 - Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”).  The related assets and liabilities of the OEM Businesses are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of December 31, 2019 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the results of operations from the OEM Businesses and gain on the sale of OEM Businesses are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

In accordance with ASC 205-20, only expenses specifically identifiable and related to a business to be disposed may be presented in discontinued operations. As such, the marketing and general and administrative expenses in discontinued operations include corporate costs incurred directly in support of the Company’s OEM business.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, RTI and the Buyer have also entered into a Transition Services Agreement, through which the disposed OEM Businesses will provide to the Company transitional services related to IT support, customer and vendor management, and procurement etc. for periods ranging from 3 to 12 months after the disposal. Since the transitional services are related to the Company’s continuing operations, the related expenses are reported as the operating expenses of the continuing operations.  

 

The Company applied the “Intraperiod Tax Allocation” rules under ASC 740, which requires the allocation of an entity’s total annual income tax provision among continuing operations and, in the Company’s case, discontinued operations. Included in the $1.6 million income tax expense for fiscal year 2019 is $0.6 million tax expense related to the gain on the Divestiture. The taxes on the gain were calculated using various state statutory tax rates and are partially offset by the utilization of historical state and federal net operating losses. 

 

Proceeds from the sale of the Company’s OEM Business have been presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows under investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those products. The Company typically transfers control at a point in time upon shipment or delivery of the implants for direct sales, or upon implantation for sales of consigned inventory. The customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the implant at the time the implant is shipped, delivered, or implanted, respectively based on the terms of the contract.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s entire revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were recognized at a point in time. The following table represents total revenue by region:

The Company’s performance obligations consist mainly of transferring control of implants identified in the contracts. The Company’s transaction price is generally fixed. Any discounts or rebates are estimated at the inception of the contract and recognized as a reduction of the revenue. Some of the Company’s contracts offer assurance-type warranties in connection with the sale of a product to a customer. Assurance-type warranties provide a customer with assurance that the related product will function as the parties intended because it complies with agreed-upon specifications. Such warranties do not represent a separate performance obligation and are not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of Paradigm Spine, LLC

On March 8, 2019, pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement (the “Master Transaction Agreement”), dated as of November 1, 2018, by and among Legacy RTI, PS Spine Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PS Spine”), the Company, and Bears Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Paradigm, through a transaction in which: (i) PS Spine contributed all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Paradigm to the Company (the “Contribution”); (ii) Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy RTI (the “Merger”), with Legacy RTI surviving as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Company; and (iii) the Company was renamed “RTI Surgical Holdings, Inc.” (collectively, the “Paradigm Transaction”). Legacy RTI retained its existing name “RTI Surgical, Inc.”

Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement: (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Legacy RTI issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Paradigm Transaction (other than shares held by Legacy RTI as treasury shares or by the Company or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Paradigm Transaction, which were automatically cancelled and ceased to exist) was converted automatically into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Company common stock , par value $0.001 per share; (ii) each share of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Legacy RTI issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Paradigm Transaction (other than shares held by Legacy RTI as treasury shares or by the Company or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Paradigm Transaction, which were automatically cancelled and ceased to exist) was converted automatically into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company; and (iii) each stock option and restricted stock award granted by Legacy RTI was converted into a stock option or restricted stock award, as applicable, of the Company with respect to an equivalent number of shares of the Company common stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to the closing.

The consideration for the Contribution was $100,000 (the “Cash Consideration Amount”) in cash and 10,729,614 shares of Company common stock (the “Stock Consideration Amount”). The Cash Consideration Amount was adjusted lower by Paradigm’s working capital of $7,000.

In addition to the Cash Consideration Amount and the Stock Consideration Amount, the Company may be required to make further cash payments or issue additional shares of Company common stock to PS Spine in an amount up to $50,000 of shares of Company common stock to be valued based upon the Legacy RTI Price and an additional $100,000 of cash and/or Company common stock to be valued at the time of issuance, in each case, if certain revenue targets are achieved between closing, March 8, 2019, and December 31, 2022.  The Company originally estimated the fair value of the contingent liability related to the revenue-based earnout of $72,177 utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation model as of March 8, 2019. A Monte-Carlo simulation is an analytical method used to estimate fair value by performing a large number of simulations or trial runs and thereby determining a value based on the possible outcomes. Accounted for as a liability to be revalued at each reporting period, the fair value of the contingent liability was measured using Level 3 inputs, which includes weighted average cost of capital and projected revenues and costs. Acquisition and integration related costs, specific to Paradigm, were approximately $15,537, (which includes business development expenses of $462 and severance expense of $896).

The Company has accounted for the acquisition of Paradigm under FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations.  Paradigm’s results of operations are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning after March 8, 2019, the acquisition date.

As of March 8, 2019, the inventory fair value was composed of current inventory of $7,122 and non-current inventory of $10,525.   

 

Total net assets acquired as of March 8, 2019, were all part of the Company’s only operating segment at that time.  Fair values are based on management’s estimates and assumptions including variations of the income approach, the cost approach and the market approach.

The Company believes that the acquisition of Paradigm, a spine focused business, offers the potential for substantial strategic and financial benefits. The transaction further advances the Company’s strategic transformation focused on reducing complexity, driving operational excellence and accelerating growth.  The Company believes the acquisition will enhance stockholder value through, among other things, enabling the Company to capitalize on the following strategic advantages and opportunities:

 

Paradigm will strengthen the Company’s spine portfolio with the addition of the coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization® device. Coflex is a differentiated and minimally invasive motion preserving stabilization implant that is FDA PMA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe lumbar spinal stenosis (“LSS”) in conjunction with decompression.

 

Coflex allows the Company to provide surgeons who treat patients with moderate to severe LSS with a PMA-approved device supported by more than 12 years of clinical data.

These potential benefits resulted in the Company paying a premium for Paradigm resulting in the recognition of $135,589 of goodwill assigned to the Company’s only operating segment and reporting unit at the time of the Paradigm acquisition.

 

The acquired goodwill was subsequently impaired. See Note 12 – Goodwill for details. Additionally, the acquired inventories were partially written down. See Note 9 – Inventories for details.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded asset impairment and abandonment charges of $9,210 and $11,971, respectively related to property, plant and equipment in the Spine asset group. The Spine asset group could not support the newly capitalized carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment, because the Spine asset group has projected negative cash flows over the useful life of the long-lived assets in the asset group. The fair value of property and equipment was measured utilizing an orderly liquidation value of each of the underlying assets.

On March 8, 2019, we acquired Paradigm for a purchase price of approximately $232,907 and recorded goodwill of approximately $135,589.  The goodwill arising from the Paradigm acquisition was specifically allocated to the Spine reporting unit. For the impairment test performed in 2019, it was concluded the fair value of goodwill is substantially in excess of our carrying value. For the Spine reporting unit test for the year ended December 31, 2019, it was concluded the carrying value was in excess of the fair value of goodwill and we recorded an impairment charge of all the goodwill in the Spine reporting unit totaling $140,003.

Fair Value Information

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for classification and disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Embedded derivatives identified within the Ares incremental term loan entered into, assessed and adjusted to their estimated fair value during the second quarter of 2020. Fair value is measured as of the debt issuance date using Level 3 inputs. For the issuance, the derivative level 3 fair value was measured based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. Unobservable inputs included the probability of a shareholder approval (unobservable), a recovery scenario should shareholder approval not occur (unobservable), and an estimated discount rate based on market data of comparable debt (observable).

 

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment subject to amortization were impaired and written down to their estimated fair values during the first quarter of 2020. Fair value is measured as of the impairment date using Level 3 inputs. For the 2020 impairments, the long-lived asset level 3 fair value was measured base on orderly liquidation value for the Property, plant and equipment. Unobservable inputs for the orderly liquidation value included replacement costs (unobservable), physical deterioration estimates (unobservable) and market sales data for comparable assets and unobservable inputs for the income approach included forecasted cash flows generated from use of the intangible assets (unobservable).

 

The following table summarizes impairments of long-lived assets and the related post impairment fair values of the corresponding assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Acquisition contingencies represent the Company’s fair value estimate of the Zyga acquisition clinical and revenue milestones of $1,130 at December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, there was a $130 reduction in the contingent liability estimate of the Zyga acquisition revenue earnout, as the probability weighted model has been updated based on the current updated forecast for the performance of the Zyga product portfolio. The clinical milestone of $1,000 has been reclassified to current as it is now expected that it will be paid in Q2 of 2021.

Income Taxes

The Company evaluates the need for deferred tax asset valuation allowances based on a more likely than not standard. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction. The Company has evaluated all evidence, both positive and negative, and determined that its domestic deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized. In making this determination, numerous factors were considered including the cumulative recent loss position in the US.

 

During the second quarter. the Company considered the removal of the going concern evaluation and the Company’s foreign operations three-year cumulative income position to be objectively verifiable evidence which supported the Company’s ability to utilize its foreign deferred tax assets. As a result, the valuation allowances against its foreign subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets was released in the second quarter, resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $3.4 million. This tax benefit is related to foreign operation that was part of the OEM Businesses; therefore, the associated tax benefit is included in discontinued operations.

 

On July 20, 2020, RTI completed the disposition of its OEM Businesses and has recognized tax expense of $42.4 million within discontinued operations as of the third quarter.  Discontinued operations tax expense primarily relates to the tax gain on sale of the OEM business, partially offset by the Company’s ability to utilize tax attributes and recognition of the benefit for year-to-date U.S. losses from continuing operations pursuant to the Company’s adoption of ASU 2019-12.  (See Note 4 “Discontinued Operations” for additional information).

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted by the United States Congress. As a result of the enactment of the CARES Act, net operating losses (“NOL’s”) can now be carried back for five years, which resulted in the Company recognizing a benefit during the first quarter of approximately $3.5 million.

 

The effective tax rate from continuing operations is primarily impacted by the CARES Act tax benefit referenced above. The September 30, 2019 continuing operations effective tax rate was primarily a result of pretax losses at statutory rates.

Preferred Stock

On June 12, 2013, the Company and WSHP Biologics Holdings, LLC (“WSHP”), an affiliate of Water Street Healthcare Partners, healthcare-focused private equity firm (“Water Street”), entered into an investment agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the investment agreement, the Company issued $50,000 of convertible preferred equity to Water Street in a private placement which closed on July 16, 2013, with preferred stock issuance costs of $1,290. The preferred stock accrued dividends at a rate of 6% per annum. To the extent dividends were not paid in cash in any quarter, the dividends which have accrued on each outstanding share of preferred stock during such three-month period  accumulated until paid in cash or converted to common stock.

On August 1, 2018, the Company and Water Street, a related party, entered into an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of RTI Surgical, Inc. (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation”).  Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation: (1) dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock did not accrue after July 16, 2018; (2) the Company could not force a redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock prior to July 16, 2020; and (3) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock could not convert the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock prior to July 16, 2021 (with certain exceptions).  

18


On July 17, 2020, the Company received a notification from WSHP seeking redemption on or before September 14, 2020 of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), all of which are held by WSHP. On July 24, 2020, the Company redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $67 million and Certificate of Retirement was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State retiring the Series A Preferred Stock.

Severance and Restructuring Costs

As part of the acquisition of Paradigm in 2019, management implemented a plan for which remaining outstanding balances at December 31, 2019 were fully paid out during the first quarter of 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, management implemented a plan as part of the sale of OEM which resulted in $604 of severance and restructuring expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included in severance and restructuring costs within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Gain (Loss).  The severance plan is the transition of certain executives as a result of the sale of the OEM business and is composed of payroll expense all within the continuing operations. The total severance and restructuring costs were paid in full by the third quarter of 2020.  Severance and restructuring payments are made over periods ranging from one month to six months and are not expected to have a material impact on cash flows of the Company in any quarterly period.     

The following table includes a roll-forward of severance and restructuring costs included in accrued expenses, see Note 17.

Commitments and Contingencies

  

Agreement to Acquire Paradigm – On March 8, 2019, pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, the Company acquired Paradigm in a cash and stock transaction valued at up to $300,000, consisting of $150,000 on March 8, 2019, plus potential future milestone payments. Established in 2005, Paradigm’s primary product is the coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization® device, a differentiated and minimally invasive motion preserving stabilization implant that is FDA premarket approved for the treatment of moderate to severe lumbar spinal stenosis in conjunction with decompression.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $100,000 in cash and issued 10,729,614 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares of Company common stock issued on March 8, 2019, were valued based on the volume weighted average closing trading price for the five trading days prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreement, representing $50,000 of value.  In addition, the Company may be required to pay up to an additional $150,000 in a combination of cash and Company common stock based on a revenue earnout consideration.  Based on a probability weighted model, the Company estimates a contingent liability related to the revenue based earnout of zero utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation model. A Monte-Carlo simulation is an analytical method used to estimate fair value by performing a large number of simulations or trial runs and thereby determining a value based on the possible outcomes. Accounted for as a liability to be revalued at each reporting period, the fair value of the contingent liability was measured using Level 3 inputs, which includes weighted average cost of capital and projected revenues and costs

Acquisition of ZygaOn January 4, 2018, the Company acquired Zyga, a leading spine-focused medical device company that develops and produces innovative minimally invasive devices to treat underserved conditions of the lumbar spine. Zyga’s primary product is the SImmetry® Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System. Under the terms of the merger agreement dated January 4, 2018, the Company acquired Zyga for $21,000 in consideration paid at closing (consisting of borrowings of $18,000 on its revolving credit facility and $3,000 cash on hand), $1,000 contingent upon the successful achievement of a clinical milestone, and a revenue based earnout consideration of up to an additional $35,000.  Based on a probability weighted model, the Company estimates a contingent liability related to the clinical milestone of $1,000, which is within the Accrued expenses line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Distribution Agreement with Medtronic – On October 12, 2013, the Company entered into a replacement distribution agreement with Medtronic, plc. (“Medtronic”), pursuant to which Medtronic will distribute certain allograft implants for use in spinal, general orthopedic and trauma surgery.  Under the terms of this distribution agreement, Medtronic will be a non-exclusive distributor except for certain specified implants for which Medtronic will be the exclusive distributor.  Medtronic will maintain its exclusivity with respect to these specified implants unless the cumulative fees received by us from Medtronic for these specified implants decline by a certain amount during any trailing 12-month period.  The initial term of this distribution agreement was to have been through December 31, 2017.  The term automatically renews for successive five-year periods, unless either party provides written notice of its intent not to renew at least one year prior to the expiration of the initial term or the applicable renewal period. Neither party provided notice of non-renewal on or before December 31, 2016, thereby triggering the five-year automatic renewal period upon the expiration of the initial term. The distribution agreement will therefore continue at least through December 31, 2022. This agreement was transferred in connection with the sale of the OEM Businesses and is now reported in discontinued operations.  

 

Distribution Agreement with Zimmer Dental Inc. - On September 3, 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Zimmer Dental, Inc. (“Zimmer Dental”), a subsidiary of Zimmer, with an effective date of September 30, 2010, as amended from time to time.  The Agreement was assigned to Biomet 3i, LLC (“Biomet”), an affiliate of Zimmer Dental, on January 1, 2016.  The Agreement has an initial term of ten years.  Under the terms of this distribution agreement, the Company agreed to supply sterilized allograft and xenograft implants at an agreed upon transfer price, and Biomet agreed to be the exclusive distributor of the implants for dental and oral applications worldwide (except Ukraine), subject to certain Company obligations under an existing distribution agreement with a third party with respect to certain implants for the dental market.  In consideration for Biomet’s exclusive distribution rights, Biomet agreed to the following: 1) payment to the Company of $13,000 within ten days of the effective date (the “Upfront Payment”); 2) annual exclusivity fees (“Annual Exclusivity Fees”) paid annually as long as Biomet maintains exclusivity for the term of the contract to be paid at the beginning of each calendar year; and 3) annual purchase minimums to maintain exclusivity.  Upon occurrence of an event that materially and adversely affects Biomet’s ability to distribute the implants, Biomet may be entitled to certain refund rights with respect to the then current Annual Exclusivity Fee, where such refund would be in an amount limited by a formula specified in this agreement that is based substantially on the occurrence’s effect on Biomet’s revenues. The Upfront Payment, the Annual Exclusivity Fees and the fees associated with distributions of processed tissue are considered to be a single performance obligation. Accordingly, the Upfront Payment and the Annual Exclusivity Fees are deferred as received and are being recognized as other revenues over the term of this distribution agreement based on the expected contractual annual purchase minimums relative to the total contractual minimum purchase requirements in this distribution agreement.  Additionally, the Company considered the potential impact of this distribution agreement’s contractual refund provisions and does not expect these provisions to impact future expected revenue related to this distribution agreement. This agreement was transferred in connection with the sale of the OEM Businesses and is now reported in discontinued operations..  

 

20


The Company’s aforementioned revenue recognition methods related to the Zimmer distribution agreements do not result in the deferral of revenue less than amounts that would be refundable in the event the agreements were to be terminated in future periods. Additionally, the Company evaluates the appropriateness of the aforementioned revenue recognition methods on an ongoing basis.

20.

Legal Actions

The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the ordinary course of business. Based on the information currently available to the Company, including the availability of coverage under its insurance policies, the Company does not believe that any of these claims that were outstanding as of September 30, 2020 will have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations. The Company’s accounting policy is to accrue for legal costs as they are incurred.

Coloplast — The Company is presently named as co-defendant along with other companies in a small percentage of the transvaginal surgical mesh (“TSM”) mass tort claims being brought in various state and federal courts. The TSM litigation has as its catalyst various Public Health Notifications issued by the FDA with respect to the placement of certain TSM implants that were the subject of 510k regulatory clearance prior to their distribution. The Company does not process or otherwise manufacture for distribution in the U.S. any implants that were the subject of these FDA Public Health Notifications. The Company denies any allegations against it and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself.

In addition to claims made directly against the Company, Coloplast, a distributor of TSM’s and certain allografts processed and private labeled for them under a contract with the Company, has also been named as a defendant in individual TSM cases in various federal and state courts.  Coloplast requested that the Company indemnify or defend Coloplast in those claims which allege injuries caused by the Company’s allograft implants, and on April 24, 2014, Coloplast sued RTI Surgical, Inc. in the Fourth Judicial District of Minnesota for declaratory relief and breach of contract.  On December 11, 2014, Coloplast entered into a settlement agreement with RTI Surgical, Inc. and Tutogen Medical, Inc. (the “Company Parties”) resulting in dismissal of the case.  Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company Parties are responsible for the defense and indemnification of two categories of present and future claims:  (1) tissue only (where Coloplast is solely the distributor of Company processed allograft tissue and no Coloplast-manufactured or distributed synthetic mesh is identified) (“Tissue Only Claims”), and (2) tissue plus non-Coloplast synthetic mesh (“Tissue-Non-Coloplast Claims”) (the Tissue Only Claims and the Tissue-Non-Coloplast Claims being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Claims”).  As of September 30, 2020, there are a cumulative total of 1,157 Indemnified Claims for which the Company Parties are providing defense and indemnification.  The defense and indemnification of these cases are covered under the Company’s insurance policy subject to a reservation of rights by the insurer.

Based on the current information available to the Company, the impact that current or any future TSM litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.

 

LifeNet — On June 27, 2018, LifeNet Health, Inc. (“LifeNet”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (since moved to the Northern District of Florida) claiming infringement of five of its patents by the Company’s predecessor RTI Surgical, Inc. The suit requests damages, enhanced damages, reimbursement of costs and expenses, reasonable attorney fees, and an injunction. The asserted patents are expired. On April 7, 2019, the Court granted the Company’s request to stay the lawsuit pending the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s (PTAB) decision whether to institute review of the patentability of LifeNet’s patents. On August 12, 2019 the PTAB instituted review of three LifeNet patents, and on September 3, 2019 the PTAB instituted review of the remaining two. On August 4,2020 and August 26, 2020 the PTAB issued final written decisions finding that certain claims were shown to be unpatentable and others not. Neither party appealed the PTAB’s decisions with respect to the three LifeNet patents on which the PTAB instituted review on August 12, 2019.  With respect to the remaining two LifeNet patents, Surgalign filed Notices of Appeal with the Federal Circuit on October 27, 2020 and LifeNet filed a Notice of Cross-appeal on November 9, 2020. The Company continues to believe the suit is without merit and will vigorously defend its position. Based on the current information available to the Company, the impact that current or any future litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.

Securities Class Action— There is currently ongoing stockholder litigation related to the Company’s Investigation (as defined below).  A class action complaint was filed by Patricia Lowry, a purported shareholder of the Company, against the Company, and certain current and former officers of the Company, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on March 23, 2020 asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and demanding a jury trial (“Lowry Action”).   The court appointed a different shareholder as Lead Plaintiff and she filed an amended complaint on August 31, 2020.  On October 15, 2020, the Company and the other-named defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint.

 

21


Derivative LawsuitsThree derivative lawsuits have also been filed on behalf of the Company, naming it as a nominal defendant, and demanding a jury trial.  On June 5, 2020, David Summers filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit (“Summers Action”) against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company (as well as the Company as a nominal defendant), in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asserting statutory claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as common law claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and corporate waste.  Thereafter, two similar shareholder derivative lawsuits asserting many of the same claims were filed in the same court against the same current and former directors and officers of the Company (as well as the Company as a nominal defendant).  The three derivative lawsuits have been consolidated into the first-filed Summers Action.  On September 6, 2020 the Court entered an order staying the Summers Action pending resolution of the motions to dismiss in the Lowry Action.

In the future, we may become subject to additional litigation or governmental proceedings or investigations that could result in additional unanticipated legal costs regardless of the outcome of the litigation. If we are not successful in any such litigation, we may be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs.  Based on the current information available to the Company, the impact that current or any future stockholder litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.

 

21.

Regulatory Actions

SEC Investigation— As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020, and the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 8,2020, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, with the assistance of independent legal and forensic accounting advisors, conducted an internal investigation of matters relating to the Company’s revenue recognition practices for certain contractual arrangements, primarily with OEM customers, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements (the “Investigation”). The Investigation also examined transactions to understand the practices related to manual journal entries for accrual and reserve accounts.  As a result of the Investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that the Company would restate its previously issued audited financial statements for fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016, selected financial data for fiscal years 2015 and 2014, the unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods within these years commencing with the first quarter of 2016, as well as the unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods within the 2019 fiscal year.  The Investigation was precipitated by an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission initially related to the periods 2014 through 2016. The SEC investigation is ongoing and the Company is cooperating with the SEC in its investigation. Based on the current information available to the Company the financial or other impact of the Investigation cannot be reasonably determined.

 

Environmental Protection Agency—On January 28, 2020, RTI received an Opportunity to Show Cause letter from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). The letter alleged potential violations of hazardous waste regulations at the Company’s Alachua, Florida facilities based on a November 20, 2019 inspection conducted by EPA, and offered the Company the opportunity to meet with EPA to explain why EPA should not take any formal enforcement action.  The Company held a virtual meeting with EPA on May 19, 2020 to discuss the corrective actions it had taken in response to EPA’s letter.  During subsequent discussions, EPA has indicated that it intends to impose a penalty on the Company related to the allegations in the letter. The Company has recorded a liability for the amount the EPA has communicated they intend to impose on the Company related to the allegations in the letter which is included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The Company is in negotiations with EPA.

 

22.

Related Party

On July 15, 2020, the Board appointed Stuart F. Simpson to serve as the Chairman of the Board, effective immediately upon consummation of the Transactions. On July 20, 2020, Mr. Simpson entered into a consulting agreement (“Consulting Agreement”) with the Company, pursuant to which he will provide consulting services to the Company. The Consulting Agreement has an initial term of three years, but may be extended with the mutual agreement of the parties. Mr. Simpson will be entitled to an annual consulting fee of $275,000 per year during the term of the Consulting Agreement, payable in 12 equal monthly installments, and the Company agreed to enter into a restricted stock award agreement, pursuant to which the Company will grant to Mr. Simpson a restricted stock award equal to $825,000. The restricted stock grant shall vest in three equal amounts on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. These amounts are in lieu of any amounts Mr. Simpson would otherwise receive as a director.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events as of the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements as defined by FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events.

 

On Sept 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Holo Purchase Agreement”), with Roboticine, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), Holo Surgical S.A., a Polish joint-stock company (“Holo S.A.”), Pawel Lewicki, PhD (“Lewicki”), and Krzysztof Siemionow, MD, PhD (“Siemionow”), which provides for the Company to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Holo Surgical Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller (“Holo Surgical”). The Seller, Holo S.A., Lewicki and Siemionow are together referred to herein as the “Seller Group Members”.

As consideration for the Acquisition, the Company paid to the Seller $30,000,000 in cash and issue to the Seller 6,250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 of the Company (“Common Stock”). In addition, following the closing, the Seller will be entitled to receive contingent consideration from the Company valued in an aggregate amount of up to $83,000,000, to be paid through the issuance of Common Stock or the payment of cash, contingent upon and following the achievement of certain regulatory, commercial and utilization milestones by specified time periods occurring up to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the closing. The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company will issue Common Stock to satisfy any contingent consideration payable to the Seller, until the total number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including the 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock issued at closing) is equal to 14,900,000 shares of Common Stock (or otherwise, to the extent a lower number, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that would not require obtaining stockholder approval under the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market). Following the attainment of that limitation, the post-closing contingent payments would be payable in cash. The number of shares of Common Stock issued as contingent consideration with respect to the achievement of a post-closing milestone, if any, will be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five (5) day trading period commencing on the opening of trading on the third trading day following the achievement of the applicable milestone. The Purchase Agreement also includes certain covenants and obligations of the Company with respect to the operation of the business of Holo Surgical that apply during the period in which the milestones may be achieved.

The Acquisition was closed on October 23, 2020. The preliminary valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities is not yet complete, and as such, the Company has not yet completed its allocation of the purchase price allocation for the acquisition.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement Relating to Forward Looking Statements

Information contained in this filing contains “forward-looking statements” which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “requires,” “hopes,” “assumes” or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. There can be no assurance that the future results covered by these forward-looking statements will be achieved. Some of the matters described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, or in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (including this one), constitute cautionary statements which identify some of the factors regarding these forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties, that could cause actual results to vary materially from the future results indicated in these forward-looking statements. Other factors could also cause actual results to vary materially from the future results indicated in such forward-looking statements.

Management Overview

Surgalign Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries (“Surgalign”, we, our or us), formerly known as RTI Surgical Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“RTI”), is a global medical technology company advancing the science of spine care, focused on delivering innovative solutions that drive superior clinical and economic outcomes. The Company is building off a legacy of high quality and differentiated products and continues to invest in clinically validated innovation to deliver better surgical outcomes and improve patient’s lives. Surgalign markets products throughout the United States and in more than 50 countries worldwide through an expanding network of top independent distributors. Surgalign, a member of AdvaMed (“Advanced Medical Technology Association”), is headquartered in Deerfield, IL, with commercial, innovation and design centers in San Diego, CA, Marquette, MI, and Wurmlingen, Germany.

 

Our domestic distributions and services accounted for 83% of total revenues in the first nine months of 2020. Most of our implants are distributed directly to healthcare providers, hospitals and other healthcare facilities and various original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) relationships.

Our international distributions and services accounted for 17% of total revenues in the first nine months of 2020. Our implants are distributed in over 50 countries through a direct sales force in Germany and through stocking distributors in the rest of the world outside of Germany and the U.S.

We are implementing a focused strategy to create long-term, profitable growth for the Company. The core components of our strategy are:

 

BUILD a global spine organization based on procedural innovation to improve patient outcomes

 

INNOVATE with clinically validated products to enhance standard of care; and

 

ACQUIRE to drive differentiation, scale and develop enabling technologies.

In line with our strategy, on March 8, 2019, we acquired Paradigm Spine, LLC (“Paradigm”), a leader in motion preservation and non-fusion spinal implant technology. Paradigm’s primary product is the coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization® device. Under the terms of the master transaction agreement dated March 8, 2019, we acquired Paradigm for $150.0 million in consideration paid at closing consisting of new debt financing of $100.0 million and $50.0 million of issued securities. In addition to the cash consideration amount and the stock consideration amount, we may be required to make further cash payments or issue additional shares of our common stock to Paradigm in an amount up to $50.0 million of shares of our common stock and an additional $100.0 million of cash and/or our common stock, in each case, if certain revenue targets are achieved between closing and December 31, 2022.

 

On Sept 29, 2020, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Holo Surgical Inc., a Chicago-based private technology company developing the revolutionary Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence digital surgery platform (‘ARAI’), to enable digital spine surgery. Total consideration for the transaction is valued at up to $125 million, consisting of consideration valued at $42 million payable at closing in cash and shares plus potential future milestone payments. The transaction was closed on October 23, 2020.

We believe these are significant steps toward focusing our business and advancing our efforts to generate predictable and sustainable operating results through disciplined execution and building scale to extend distribution of our products in those areas that offer the greatest opportunities to benefit our patients and shareholders.  

24


We continue to maintain our commitment to research and development and the introduction of new strategically targeted allograft, xenograft, metal and synthetic implants as well as focused clinical efforts to support their acceptance in the marketplace. In addition, we consider strategic acquisitions from time to time for new implants and technologies intended to augment our existing implant offerings, as well as strategic dispositions from time to time in response to market trends or industry developments.

 

Sale of OEM Business, Retirement of Debt and Redemption of Preferred Stock

 

On July 20, 2020, pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement and subsequent amendments entered in 2020, RTI sold its original equipment manufacturing business and business related to processing donated human musculoskeletal and other tissue and bovine and porcine animal tissue (collectively, the “OEM Businesses”) to Ardi Bidco Ltd. (the “Buyer”) and its affiliates for a purchase price of $440 million of cash, subject to certain adjustments (the “Transactions”). More specifically, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, RTI sold to the Buyer and its affiliates all of the issued and outstanding shares of RTI OEM, LLC (which, prior to the Transactions, was converted to a corporation and changed its name to “RTI Surgical, Inc.”), RTI Surgical, LLC (which, prior to the Transactions, was converted to a corporation and changed its name to “Pioneer Surgical Technology, Inc.”), Tutogen Medical (United States), Inc. and Tutogen Medical GmbH. The Transactions were previously described in the Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 18, 2020. Subsequent to the Transactions, RTI was renamed to Surgalign Holdings, Inc, operating as Surgalign Spine Technologies. References in this Form 10-Q to Surgalign or the Company refer to the Company including, where obvious from the context, the disposed OEM Businesses. “Legacy RTI” refers to the Company prior to the acquisition of Paradigm Spine on March 8, 2019.  

 

Effective on July 20, 2020, we (i) paid in full our $80.0 million revolving credit facility under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of June 5, 2018 (the “2018 Credit Agreement”), by and among Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as RTI Surgical, Inc.), as a borrower, Pioneer Surgical Technology, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, as a borrower, the other loan parties thereto as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender (together with the various financial institutions as in the future may become parties thereto, the “JPM Lenders”) and as administrative agent for the JPM Lenders, as amended, (ii) terminated the 2018 Credit Agreement, (iii) paid our full its $100.0 million term loan and $30.0 million incremental term loan commitment under that certain Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2019 (the “2019 Credit Agreement”), by and among Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc., as borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Ares Capital Corporation, as administrative agent for the other lenders party thereto, as amended and (iv) terminated the 2019 Credit Agreement.

On July 17, 2020, we received a notification from WSHP seeking redemption on or before September 14, 2020 of all of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock,  all of which are held by WSHP. On July 24, 2020, we redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $67 million, a Certificate of Retirement was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State retiring the Series A Preferred Stock, and the WSHP representatives on the Company’s Board of Directors, Curtis M. Selquist and Chris Sweeney resigned from the Board of Directors.

 

In connection with  the Transactions, we also made certain leadership transitions, including, without limitation, the appointment of Stuart F. Simpson as the Chairman of the Board, Terry M. Rich as the President and Chief Executive of the Company and Jonathon M. Singer as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. 

 

 

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has directly and indirectly materially and adversely impacted the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results. The extent to which these adverse impacts will continue will depend on numerous evolving factors that are highly uncertain, rapidly changing and cannot be predicted with precision or certainty at this time. The spread of COVID-19 has caused many hospitals and other healthcare providers to refocus their care on the surge of the COVID-19 cases and to postpone elective and non-emergent procedures, restrict access to these facilities, and in some cases re-allocate scarce resources to their critically ill patients. These efforts have impacted and could continue to impact our business activities, including our product sales, as many of our products are used in connection with elective surgeries. Further, disruptions in the manufacture and/or distribution of our products or in our supply chain may occur as a result of the pandemic or pandemic-related events that result in staffing shortages, production slowdowns, stoppages, or disruptions in delivery systems, any of which could materially and adversely affect our ability to manufacture and/or distribute our products, or to obtain the raw materials and supplies necessary to manufacture and/or distribute our products, in a timely manner, or at all.

The Company furloughed or reduced the hours of a majority of its U.S.-based employees in Q2 2020, but they have since returned to work. Although our operations are beginning to increase towards normal levels, we continue to have many employees working remotely. Surgalign cannot predict when it will be able to resume normal operations and will continue to carefully monitor the situation. COVID-19 has had an adverse effect on the overall productivity of our workforce, and we may be required to continue to take extraordinary measures to ensure the safety of our employees and those of our business partners. Additionally, these measures are hindering our ability to recruit, vet and hire personnel for key positions. It is unknown how long these disruptions could continue.

25


As the global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to evolve, it could continue to materially and adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows for an indeterminate period of time. We are unable to accurately predict the full impact that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will have due to numerous factors that are not within our control, including the duration and severity of the pandemic. Stay-at-home/ shelter-in-place orders, business closures, travel restrictions, supply chain disruptions, employee illness or quarantines, and other extended periods of interruption to our business have resulted and could continue to result in disruptions to our operations, which have had and could continue to have adverse impacts on the growth of our business, have and could continue to cause us to cease or delay operations, and could prevent our customers from receiving shipments or processing payments. Some experts expect a second, more severe phase of the pandemic in the Fall of 2020 and Winter of 2021. Such a severe second phase would result in additional material adverse impacts upon the Company.

 

 

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued, and we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as the corresponding governmental response and the Company’s management of the crisis has had a significant impact on the Company’s business. The consequences of the outbreak and impact on the economy continues to evolve and the full extent of the impact is uncertain as of the date of this filing. The outbreak has already brought a significant disruption to the operations of the Company.  The continued disruptions to our business as a result of COVID-19 has resulted in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including the possibility that new adverse information may emerge concerning COVID-19 and additional actions to contain it or treat its impact may be required.

 

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash of $95,790 and an accumulated deficit of $384,922. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2020, we had a loss from continuing operations of $75,890. We have incurred losses from operations in the previous two fiscal years and did not generate positive cash flows from operations in fiscal year 2019 or for the nine-months ended September 30, 2020. The Company closed on the sale of the OEM business to Ardi Bidco, Ltd., on July 20, 2020 and upon the close of the sale, the Company repaid all of its debt obligations in full.  Additionally, all preferred stock was also redeemed by Water Street Healthcare Partners, resulting in cash payment of $66,519 during the third quarter of 2020.  

 

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company had announced that it had acquired Holosurgical, Inc. (“Holosurgical”).  The acquisition closed on October 23, 2020 (see Note 22, Subsequent Events).  Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Surgalign paid $30 million in cash and issued 6.25 million shares of Surgalign common stock valued at approximately $12 million. In addition, further contingent consideration valued at up to $83 million may be payable in common stock and cash upon achievement of certain regulatory, developmental, and commercial milestones.  The first milestone achievement to Holosurgical relating to regulatory approval could occur as early as the second half of 2021.

 

The Company is projecting it will continue to generate significant negative operating cash flows over the next 12-months and beyond.  In consideration of i) COVID-19 uncertainties, ii) negative cash flows that are projected over the next 12-month period, iii) the income taxes to be paid related to the gain on sale associated with the OEM business, and iv) approx. $10 million in contingent consideration amounts which are expected to become due to the former owners of Holosurgical if regulatory approval in the US is obtained in 2021, which would paid through combination of common stock and cash; the Company has forecasted the need to raise  additional capital in order to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s operating plan for the next 12-month period also includes continued investments in its product pipeline which will necessitate additional debt and/or equity financing in addition to the funding of future operations through 2021 and beyond. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s on-going cash requirements through 2021, the Company will be required to scale back operations, reduce research and development expenses, and postpone, as well as suspend capital expenditures, in order to preserve liquidity. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

 

26


In consideration of the inherent risks and uncertainties that exist in relation to both elective surgeries, as well as in relation to worsening of global economic conditions resulting from ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, along with the cash paid to acquire Holosurgical and potential contingent consideration milestone payments, a portion of which are expected to be paid in common stock and/or cash which may become due in 2021;  management has concluded that substantial doubt exists with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management is planning to raise additional debt and/or equity financing and will attempt to curtail discretionary expenditures in the future, if necessary, however, in consideration of the risks and uncertainties mentioned, such plans cannot be considered probable of occurring at this time.  

 

The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its funding requirements on a continuous basis, to maintain existing financing and to succeed in its future operations. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020, Compared With Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

Revenues – Our revenues decreased $0.8 million, or 2.7%, to $27.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $28.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of decrease in international biologic sales, which were approximately $0.6 million in the prior year comparable period.

Cost of Goods Sold – Costs of good sold increased $4.3 million, or 56.3%, to $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting step-up and inventory write-offs, cost of goods sold increased $0.6 million or 9.4%, to $7.5 million, or 26.8% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $6.9 million, or 24.0% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in costs of goods sold was primarily due to product mix.

Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses – Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased $6.5 million, or 19.0%, to $27.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $34.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in marketing, general and administrative costs is driven by a $7.9 million reduction in spending through the simplification of the distribution and marketing infrastructure and reduction in spending due to the sale of the OEM business offset by restatement and related costs of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Research and Development Expenses – Research and development expenses decreased $2.1 million or 48.3%, to $2.2 million from $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in research and development expenses is result of a reduction in spending on new product development, specifically external consultant and advisor expense, as the Company was focused on the sale of the OEM businesses during the current quarter.

Asset Impairment and Abandonments– Asset impairment and abandonments expenses were $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was primarily the result of Spine asset group property, plant and equipment being impaired.

Transaction and Integration Expenses – Transaction and integration expenses related to the acceleration of stock compensation expense related to OEM employees and acquisition of the HoloSurgical business were $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $3.1 million of Paradigm acquisition costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Total Net Other Expense – Total net other expense, which includes interest income, and foreign exchange loss, increased $0.1 million to $0.1 million as a result of foreign exchange gain associated with our foreign operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from $0.1 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Income Tax Benefit – Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020, decreased $3.6 million to zero from $3.6 million benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is the result of the full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of the continuing operations.

 

Discontinued Operations – Net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $149.3 million, including a gain on sale of the OEM Business of $211 million, transaction expense of $12 million and income tax expense of $42.5 million. Net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $11.8 million, net of $1.5 million of income taxes.

 

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020, Compared With Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Revenues – Our revenues decreased $10.3 million, or 12.0%, to $75.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $85.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, due to decreased demand during the second quarter as a result in the reduction of elective surgical procedures related to COVID-19 impacting our Spine business.

Cost of Goods Sold – Costs of goods sold increased $5.6 million, or 22.8%, to $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting step-up and inventory write-offs, cost of goods sold increased $1.5 million or 6.6%, to $24.5 million, or 32.4% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $23.0 million, or 26.7% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in costs of goods sold was primarily due to decreased revenue distributions which occurred during the second quarter of 2020 in response to COVID-19.

28


Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses – Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $1.6 million, or 1.7%, to $97.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $95.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in marketing, general and administrative costs is primarily due  to restatement and related costs of $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 offset by reduction in spending through the simplification of the distribution and marketing infrastructure and reduction in spending due to the sale of the OEM business.

Research and Development Expenses – Research and development expenses decreased $2.7 million or 21.7%, to $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in research and development expenses is the result of reduced spending on new product development, specifically external consultant and advisor expense, in the current quarter due to focus on the sale of the OEM business, as well as the furlough of a portion of our research and development team during the second quarter of 2020.

Gain on acquisition contingency – Gain on acquisition contingency was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  The gain on acquisition contingency was the result of an adjustment to our estimate of obligation for future milestone payments on the Zyga acquisition for both periods.

Asset Impairment and Abandonments– Asset impairment and abandonments expenses were $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which was primarily the result of Spine asset group property, plant and equipment being impaired.

Transaction and Integration Expenses – Transaction and integration expenses related to the acceleration of stock compensation expense related to OEM employees and acquisition of HoloSurgical were $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $14.0 million of Paradigm acquisition costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Total Net Other Expense – Total net other expense, which includes interest income and foreign exchange loss, was consistent at $0.1 million for both periods.

Income Tax Benefit – Income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was $3.5 million compared to $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all of the net domestic deferred tax assets in the amount of $63 million. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted by the United States Congress. As a result of the enactment of the CARES Act, net operating losses (“NOL’s”) can now be carried back for five years and resulted in the Company recognizing approximately $3.5 million of a tax receivable.

 

Discontinued Operations – Net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $142.1 million, including a gain on sale of the OEM Business of $211 million, transaction expenses of $24 million, and income taxes of $39.2 million. Net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $34.9 million, net of $5.1 million of income taxes.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We utilize certain financial measures that are not calculated based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Certain of these financial measures are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures within the meaning of Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of our results of operations and the factors and trends affecting our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by our management to evaluate financial results and to plan and forecast future periods. However, non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by us may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including our competitors.

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares and non-GAAP gross profit adjusted for certain amounts.  The calculation of the tax effect on the adjustments between GAAP net loss applicable to common shares and non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares is based upon our estimated annual GAAP tax rate, adjusted to account for items excluded from GAAP net loss applicable to common shares in calculating non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares.  Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are included in the reconciliations below:

Management removes the amount of these costs including the tax effect on the adjustments from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.

2020 Asset impairment and abandonments – These costs relate to asset impairment and abandonments of certain long-term assets within the asset group.

2020 Restatement and related expenses – These costs relate to consulting and legal fees and settlement expenses incurred as a result of the restatement, regulatory and related activities in 2020.

2020 and 2019 Gain on acquisition contingency – The gain on acquisition contingency relates to an adjustment to our estimate of obligation for future milestone payments on the Zyga acquisition.

2020 Transaction and integration expenses – These costs relate to professional fees associated with the acquisition of HoloSurgical, accelerated stock compensation expense related to OEM employees terminated in  transaction and other matters.

2020 and 2019 Inventory purchase price adjustment – These costs relate to the purchase price effects of acquired Paradigm inventory that was sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

2020 Inventory write-off – These costs relate to the write off of inventory related to the transition from an integrated manufacturing company to a distributed model.

Transaction and integration expenses – These costs relate to acquisition and integration expenses due to the purchase of Paradigm in 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

As the global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, it could continue to materially and adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows for an indeterminate period of time.

In connection with the Transactions on July 20, 2020, the Company (i) paid in full its $80.0 million revolving credit facility under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of June 5, 2018, by and among Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as RTI Surgical, Inc.), as a borrower, Pioneer Surgical Technology, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, as a borrower, the other loan parties thereto as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender and as administrative agent for the JPM Lenders, as amended (the “2018 Credit Agreement”), (ii) terminated the 2018 Credit Agreement, (iii) paid in full its $100.0 million term loan and $30.0 million incremental term loan commitment under that certain Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2019, by and among Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc., as borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Ares Capital Corporation, as administrative agent for the other lenders party thereto, as amended (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) and (iv) terminated the 2019 Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. 

 

As discussed in Note 21, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has an active investigation that remains ongoing.  The Company continues to cooperate with the SEC in relation to its investigation. Based on current information available to the Company, the impact associated with SEC investigation and shareholder litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.

At September 30, 2020, we had 82 days of revenues outstanding in trade accounts receivable, an increase of 8 days compared to December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily driven due to timing of collections from our customers as a result of COVID impacts.

 

At September 30, 2020, excluding the purchase accounting step-up of Paradigm inventory and written-off of obsolete inventories, we had 266 days of inventory on hand, a decrease of 8 days compared to December 31, 2019. The decrease in inventory days is primarily due to the utilization of our implants during the most recent quarter. We believe that our inventory levels will be adequate to support our on-going operations.

 

 

As of September 30, 2020, we have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro affects our financial results. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect revenues, gross margins, operating expenses and net income. Our international operations currently transact business primarily in the Euro. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the period end exchange rate while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Intercompany transactions are translated from the Euro to the U.S. dollar. Based on September 30, 2020 outstanding intercompany balances, a 1% change in currency rates would have had a de-minimis impact on our results of operations. We do not expect changes in exchange rates to have a material adverse effect on our income or our cash flows in 2020. However, we can give no assurance that exchange rates will not significantly change in the future.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2020, due to the existence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

As previously identified and described more fully under Item 9A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we identified material weaknesses in the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, monitoring activities, information and communication components of internal control as we did not appropriately design controls in response to the risk of misstatement due to changes in our business environment. The material weaknesses resulted in misstatements that were corrected in the restatement included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The material weaknesses have not been remediated as of September 3, 2020.

 

Additionally, the material weaknesses described above could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

 

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness

 

 

Our management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, continues to take action on the remediation plan more fully described under Item 9A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.  This plan includes enhancing the overall internal control environment, the addition of experienced internal resources and/or third-party advisors and the implementation of additional controls and procedures to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting.  While the remediation plan has been developed, and action has been taken on resolution of required activities within it, there are still a significant number of steps to be taken to enable management to complete the remediation.  Accordingly, we concluded that the material weaknesses had not yet been remediated as of September 3, 2020.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

 

In conjunction with the disposition of the OEM Businesses on July 20, 2020, the Company entered into a transition service agreement (TSA) with the Buyer for a limited period of time. Under the terms of the TSA, the OEM Businesses will continue to service the Company’s SAP IT infrastructure and execute key controls. The Company will have access to review and validate the design and operating effectiveness of those controls. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)  during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

SEC and related Audit Committee Investigation

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board, with the assistance of independent legal and forensic accounting advisors, conducted an internal investigation of matters relating to the Company’s revenue recognition practices for certain contractual arrangements, primarily with OEM customers, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements (the “Investigation”). The Investigation also examined transactions to understand the practices related to manual journal entries for accrual and reserve accounts. The Investigation was precipitated by an investigation by the SEC initially related to the periods 2014 through 2016. The SEC investigation is ongoing and the Company is cooperating with the SEC in its investigation.

The Audit Committee completed its Investigation in the second quarter of 2020.  On April 7, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board concluded that the Company would restate its previously issued audited financial statements for fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016, selected financial data for fiscal years 2015 and 2014, the unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods within these years commencing with the first quarter of 2016, as well as the unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods within the 2019 fiscal year. The Company filed the restated financial statements on June 8, 2020.

Based on the results of the Investigation, the Company concluded that revenue for certain invoices should have been recognized at a later date than when originally recognized. In response to binding purchase orders from certain OEM customers, goods were shipped and received by the customers before requested delivery dates and agreed-upon delivery windows. In many instances the OEM customers requested or approved the early shipments, but the Company determined that on other occasions the goods were delivered early without obtaining the customers’ affirmative approval. Some of those unapproved shipments were shipped by employees in order to generate additional revenue and resulted in shipments being pulled from a future quarter into an earlier quarter. In addition, the Company concluded that in July 2017 an adjustment was improperly made to a product return provision in the Direct Division. The revenue for those shipments was restated, as well as for other orders that shipped earlier than the purchase order due date in the system for which the Company could not locate evidence that the OEM customers had requested or approved the shipments. In addition, the Company concluded that in the periods from 2015 through the fourth quarter of 2018, certain adjustments were incorrectly or erroneously made via manual journal entries to accrual/reserve accounts, including a July 2017 adjustment to a product return provision in the Direct Division, among others. Accordingly, the Company restated its financial statements to correct these adjustments.

There is currently ongoing stockholder litigation related to the Company’s Investigation.  A class action complaint was filed by Patricia Lowry, a purported shareholder of the Company, against the Company, and certain current and former officers of the Company, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on March 23, 2020 asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and demanding a jury trial (“Lowry Action”). The court appointed a different shareholder as Lead Plaintiff and she filed an amended complaint on August 31, 2020.  On October 15, 2020, the Company and the other-named defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint.

 

Three derivative lawsuits have also been filed on behalf of the Company, naming it as a nominal defendant, and demanding a jury trial.  On June 5, 2020, David Summers filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit (“Summers Action”) against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company (as well as the Company as a nominal defendant), in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asserting statutory claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as common law claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and corporate waste.  Thereafter, two similar shareholder derivative lawsuits asserting many of the same claims were filed in the same court against the same current and former directors and officers of the Company (as well as the Company as a nominal defendant).  The three derivative lawsuits have been consolidated into the first-filed Summers Action.  On September 6, 2020 the Court entered an order staying the Summers Action pending resolution of the motions to dismiss in the Lowry Action.

In the future, we may become subject to additional litigation or governmental proceedings or investigations that could result in additional unanticipated legal costs regardless of the outcome of the litigation. If we are not successful in any such litigation, we may be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs.  Based on the current information available to the Company, the impact that current or any future stockholder litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.

For a further description, we refer you to Part I, Item 1, Note 23 entitled “Legal Actions” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of material legal proceedings.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Except as described below, there has been no material change in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1.A., Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 8, 2020.  In connection with the sale of the OEM Business and the related Transactions and other events occurring at or about the time of the closing of the Transactions, certain risk factors listed in the Form 10-K no longer apply to the Company as of the date of this filing.  These would include the following risk factors listed in our 2019 Form 10-K.  

We depend heavily upon sources of human tissue, and any failure to obtain tissue from these sources in a timely manner will interfere with our ability to process and distribute allografts. A majority of all of our allograft processing facilities are currently conducted in locations that may be at risk of damage from hurricanes, fire, or other natural disasters. If a natural disaster strikes our administrative headquarters or any of our other processing or manufacturing facilities, our operations may be interrupted and we may be unable to process or manufacture certain products for a substantial amount of time.

The allograft industry is subject to additional local, state, federal and international government regulations and any increased regulations of our activities could significantly increase the cost of doing business, thereby reducing profitability.

If we do not manage the medical release of donor tissue into processing in an effective and efficient manner, it could adversely affect profitability.

Negative publicity concerning methods of human tissue recovery and screening of donor tissue in the industry in which we operate may reduce demand for our allografts and impact the supply of available donor tissue.

Water Street may exercise significant influence over us, including through its ability to elect up to two members of our Board of Directors.

Our ability to pay dividends and to make distributions may be limited or prohibited by the terms of our indebtedness or Preferred Stock.

The 2018 Credit Agreement and the 2019 Credit Agreement contain financial and operating restrictions that may limit our access to credit. If we fail to comply with financial or other covenants in the 2018 Credit Agreement and the 2019 Credit Agreement, we may be required to repay indebtedness to our existing lenders, which may harm our liquidity.

We have incurred a significant amount of secured debt, and expect to incur a significant amount of additional debt in the future.

Failure to consummate the Contemplated Transactions within the expected timeframe or at all could have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition and results of operations of RTI.

The OEM Purchase Agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the Contemplated Transactions.

The amount of the net proceeds that RTI will receive is subject to uncertainties.

Failure to complete the Contemplated Transactions could cause RTI’s stock price to decline.

The Sale may trigger the liquidation, redemption and conversion rights of WSHP, an affiliate of Water Street, and WSHP may exercise those rights.

We may fail to realize the potential benefits of our Holosurgical acquisition, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We recently completed our acquisition of Holosurgical in October 2020.  Holosurgical is in the process of developing its ARAI platform, an artificial intelligence-based digital surgery platform designed to enable digital spine surgery.  As a result, the Holosurgical acquisition provides us with an entry into the digital surgical products market, a business line in which we have not previously engaged, which may be challenging to integrate with our core product lines and more difficult to develop and manage than we anticipated.  We cannot provide assurance that this acquisition will result in long-term benefits to us or our stockholders, or that we will be able to effectively integrate and manage the Holosurgical business. Our ability to successfully integrate, and realize the potential benefits of, Holosurgical and its ARAI digital surgery platform is subject to a number of uncertainties and risks, including:

 

Holosurgical is a pre-revenue, development stage company with no commercial operations. Holosurgical’s potential future profitability is dependent upon the successful development and successful commercial introduction and acceptance of the ARAI platform, which may not occur in the timeframe we expect or at all;

34


 

our ability to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Commission or other foreign regulatory authorities for Holosurgical’s ARAI platform for us to begin marketing or selling the platform, or any material delays in receiving such regulatory approvals;

 

complying with regulatory requirements applicable to the Holosurgical business and the ARAI platform that we were not previously subject to;

 

difficulties in educating the market on, and obtaining market acceptance of, the ARAI platform, which is a new anatomical mapping technology that has not been used previously by the market and must compete with more established treatments currently accepted as the standards of care;

 

potential future challenges to, or third-party claims in respect of, our intellectual property rights underlying the ARAI platform;

 

difficulties assimilating and retaining key personnel of the Holosurgical business, including any personnel directly involved in the development of the ARAI platform;

 

difficulties in combining Holosurgical’s business into the Company’s existing business, with such integration becoming more costly or time consuming than we originally anticipated;

 

discovery of liabilities of Holosurgical that are broader in scope and magnitude or are more difficult to manage than originally anticipated or were not previously identified; and

 

inability or failure to successfully integrate financial reporting and information technology systems.

If we are not able to successfully integrate, develop and manage Holosurgical and its operations, or if we experience delays or other challenges with executing our strategy for the ARAI platform or combining the businesses, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected and our business, financial condition, and operating results may be negatively impacted.  In addition, the integration process could result in higher than expected costs, diversion of management attention and disruption of either company’s ongoing businesses, any of which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our auditors have issued a “going concern” audit opinion.

Our independent auditors have indicated in their report on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  A “going concern” opinion indicates that the financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we do not continue as a going concern.  Therefore, you should not rely on our consolidated balance sheet as an indication of the amount of proceeds that would be available to satisfy claims of creditors, and potentially be available for distribution to stockholders, in the event of liquidation.

Further, the Company is projecting it will continue to generate significant negative operating cash flows over the next 12 months and beyond. In consideration of these projected negative cash flows, as well as, (i) income taxes to be paid related to the gain on sale associated with the Company’s sale of its OEM business, (ii) contingent consideration amounts payable in common stock and cash in connection with the Holosurgical acquisition (including approximately $10 million which is expected to come due if certain regulatory approval in the US is obtained in 2021), and (iii) uncertainties related to COVID-19, the Company has forecasted the need to raise additional capital in order to continue as a going concern. The Company’s operating plan for the next 12-month period also includes continued investments in its product pipeline which will necessitate additional debt and/or equity financing in addition to the funding of future operations through 2021 and beyond. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s on-going cash requirements through 2021, the Company will be required to scale back operations, reduce research and development expenses, and postpone, as well as suspend capital expenditures, in order to preserve liquidity. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

On November 13, 2020, following a comprehensive review of its bylaws, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective the same date. The primary changes effected by the amendment and restatement, among other things, are to:

 

 

Expressly provide that meetings of stockholders of the Company may be held by means of remote communication and expressly establish procedures therefor;

 

Clarify that the stock ledger of the Company furnished in connection with meetings of stockholders may be provided electronically;

Clarify provisions relating to the compensation of directors;

 

Update and clarify provisions relating to meetings of the Board or its action by written consent;

Provide for the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, other courts within the State of Delaware) to be the exclusive forum for certain legal actions, including certain stockholder and intra-corporate disputes, and provide for the federal district courts of the United States to be the exclusive forum for causes of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and

 

Make other clarifying and conforming changes, including to conform to current provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Deadlines for Submission of Stockholder Proposals Under Company’s Bylaws and Rule 14a-8

 

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, the deadline for nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the board of directors of the Company at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders or other business sought to be brought by stockholders before the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by the Secretary of the Company not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day, or earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day, prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders.  

 

Accordingly, notice of nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders and other business to be brought by stockholders before the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by the Secretary of the Company not earlier than the close of business on March 17, 2021 nor later than the close of business on April 16, 2021.  

 

However, under the Amended and Restated Bylaws, if the date of an annual meeting of stockholders is more than thirty (30) days prior to, or more than sixty (60) days after, the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (ii) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure (as defined in the amended and restated bylaws) of the date of the meeting is first made by the Company.

 

The aforementioned deadlines do not apply to proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Proposals submitted under Rule 14a-8 for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by the Secretary of the Company not later than February 22, 2021.

 

The aforementioned deadlines supersede and replace those disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.

Proposals should be addressed to:

SECTION 1.02 OTHER OFFICES. The corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the corporation may require.

 

 

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

SECTION 2.01 PLACE OF MEETING. All meetings of stockholders for the election of directors or for any other purpose shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”). The Board of Directors may establish guidelines and procedures in accordance with applicable provisions of the DGCL and any other applicable law or regulation for participation in a stockholder meeting by means of remote communication.  Subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a stockholder meeting held by means of remote communication may be deemed present in person, may participate in the meeting and may vote, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication; provided, however, that (i) the corporation shall implement measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the corporation shall implement measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders an opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation or a delegate thereof.

 

SECTION 2.02 ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.

 

SECTION 2.03 VOTING LIST. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address  of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder,   for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, either (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) at the corporation’s principal place of business. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation.

 

SECTION 2.04 SPECIAL MEETING. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, may be called by the Chairman of the Board or by the President of the corporation or by the Board of Directors or by written order of a majority of the directors and shall be called by the President or the Secretary at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purposes of the       proposed meeting. The Chairman of the Board or the President of the corporation or directors so calling, or the stockholders so requesting, any such meeting shall fix the time and any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place for holding such meeting.

 

SECTION 2.05 NOTICE OF MEETING. Written notice of the annual, and each special meeting of stockholders, stating the date, time, place, if any, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed present in person and vote at such meeting, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the meeting. The attendance of a stockholder at any meeting (including through its representation by a proxyholder) shall constitute a waiver of notice at such meeting, except where the stockholder attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, and does so object, at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

SECTION 2.06 QUORUM. The holders of a majority of the shares of the corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person, present by means of remote communication, if any, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the shares of the corporation’s capital stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person, present by means of remote communication, if any, or represented by proxy, whether or not a quorum is present, the chairperson of such, shall have power to recess or adjourn the meeting from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, if any, without notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place, if any, of the meeting to be reconvened and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned or recessed meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of stockholders, the chairperson of the meeting shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in this Section 2.06, until a quorum is present or represented. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of any holders to leave less than a quorum. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

 

1


SECTION 2.07 VOTING. When a quorum is present at any meeting of the stockholders, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the corporation’s capital stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting,       unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of the statutes, of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Every stockholder having the right to vote shall       be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder, bearing a date not more than three years prior to voting, unless such instrument provides for a longer period, and filed with the Secretary of the corporation before, or at the time of, the meeting. If such instrument shall designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons    present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents   thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares.

 

SECTION 2.08 VOTING OF STOCK OF CERTAIN HOLDERS. Shares of the corporation’s capital stock standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision,   as the Board of Directors of such corporation may determine. Shares standing in the name of a deceased person may be voted by the executor or administrator of such deceased person, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of a guardian, conservator, or trustee may be voted by such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver. A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the corporation, he has expressly empowered the   pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent the stock and vote thereon.

 

SECTION 2.09 TREASURY STOCK. The corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own capital stock owned by it; and such shares shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares of the corporation’s capital stock. Nothing in this Section 2.09 shall limit the right of the corporation to vote shares of stock of the corporation held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

 

SECTION 2.10 FIXING RECORD DATE. The Board of Directors may fix in advance a date, which shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, nor more than 60 days preceding the date for payment of any dividend or distribution, or the   date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any change, or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend or distribution, or to receive any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, and in such case such stockholders and only such stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed, shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or to receive payment of such dividend or distribution, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the corporation after any such record date fixed as aforesaid.

SECTION 2.11 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS AND NOMINATIONS

(a)Annual Meetings of Stockholders.  To be properly brought before the annual meeting, nominations of persons for election to the board of directors or other business must be either: (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the board of directors; (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder of record in compliance with Section 2.11(b).  For the avoidance of doubt, compliance with the foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations, or to propose any other business (other than a proposal included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)), at an annual meeting of stockholders.

(b)Timing of Notice for Annual Meetings.  For nominations of persons for election to the board of directors or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.11(a) of these bylaws, (i) the subject matter thereof must be a matter which is a proper subject matter for stockholder action at such meeting; (ii) the stockholder must have been a stockholder of record of the corporation at the time the notice required by this Section 2.11 is delivered to the corporation and continues to be so through the date of such meeting and must be entitled to vote at the meeting; and (iii) the stockholder must have given timely written notice thereof by mail, courier or personal delivery to (A) the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the board of directors, care of the Secretary of the corporation, for nominations, or (B) the Secretary of the corporation, for other business. To be considered timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary of the corporation at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day, or earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day, prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however that if the date of the annual meeting of stockholders is more than thirty (30) days prior to, or more than sixty (60) days after, the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (ii) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure (as defined below) of the date of the meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event shall the adjournment, recess, postponement or rescheduling of an annual meeting (or the public disclosure thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of notice as described above.

 

(c) Form of Notice.  To be in proper written form, the notice of any stockholder giving notice under this Section 2.11 (each, a “Noticing Party”) must set forth:

(i)as to each person whom such Noticing Party proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director (each, a “Proposed Nominee”), if any:

(A) the name, age, business address and residence address of such Proposed Nominee;

(B) the principal occupation and employment of such Proposed Nominee;

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 10.01 THIRD PARTY ACTIONS. The corporation shall indemnify any director or officer of the corporation, and may indemnify any other person, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another  corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

SECTION 10.02 ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION. The corporation shall indemnify any director or officer and may indemnify any other person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of    such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon   application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

SECTION 10.03 MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Sections 10.01 and 10.02, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

SECTION 10.04 DETERMINATION OF CONDUCT. Any indemnification under Section 10.01 or 10.02 of this Article X (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 10.01 or 10.02 of this Article X. Such determination shall be made (a) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders.

 

SECTION 10.05 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES IN ADVANCE. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article X.

 

SECTION 10.06 INDEMNITY NOT EXCLUSIVE. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided or granted hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any other bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

SECTION 10.07 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article X:

(a)“the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors,    officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article X with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect   to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued;
