CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will” and “would” or the negatives of these terms or other comparable terminology.

You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere, identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:

 

our ability to achieve reimbursement from third-party payers for our products;

 

our dependence upon external sources for the financing of our operations, particularly given that our auditors’ report for our 2017 financial statements, which is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, contains a statement concerning our ability to continue as a “going concern”;

 

our ability to effectively execute our business plan;

 

our ability to maintain and grow our reputation and to achieve and maintain the market acceptance of our products;

 

our expectations as to our clinical research program and clinical results;

 

our ability to improve our products and develop new products;

 

our ability to manage the growth of our operations over time;

 

our ability to maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property and to avoid violation of the intellectual property rights of others;

 

our ability to gain and maintain regulatory approvals;

 

our ability to maintain relationships with existing customers and develop relationships with new customers; and

 

our ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry.

Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q , are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations, taking into account all information currently available to us, we cannot guarantee future transactions, results, performance, achievements or outcomes. No assurance can be made to any investor by anyone that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements will be attained, or that deviations from them will not be material and adverse. We undertake no obligation, other than as may be required by law, to re-issue this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or otherwise make public statements updating our forward-looking statements.

MYOMO, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Description of Business

Myomo Inc. (“Myomo” or the Company”) is a wearable medical robotics company that develops, designs, and produces myoelectric orthotics for people with neuromuscular disorders. The MyoPro ® myoelectric upper limb orthosis product is registered with the Food and Drug Administration as a Class II medical device. The Company sells the product to orthotics and prosthetics practices and clinics, the Veterans Health Administration, other hospitals in the United States, and, through a distribution agreement with OttoBock SE &Co. KGaA, formerly known as Otto Bock Healthcare L.P. (“Ottobock”). The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 1, 2004 and is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Note 2 — Going Concern and Management’s Plan

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $5.0 million and $8.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively; and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $40.0 million at June 30, 2018. Cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.6 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance of these financial statements.

On July 2, 2018, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission in relation to the registration of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or units of any combination thereof the Company (collectively, the “Securities”) having an aggregate price of up to $75 million, subject to the limitations of the Shelf. The Company simultaneously entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley FBR, Inc., as sales agent, to provide for the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of up to an aggregate amount of $15 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings under the Shelf and subject to the limitations thereof.  The Company shall pay to the sales agent cash commissions of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement.

Management plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern are primarily focused on raising additional capital in order to meet its obligations and execute its business plan by pursuing its product development initiatives and penetrating markets for the sale of its products. Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, exercises of outstanding warrants, debt financings, or other means; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital or obtain new financing on commercially acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its operations or delay the execution of its business plan. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in implementing its plans to alleviate substantial doubt.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information pursuant to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2018, or any other period. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and for the years then ended, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts included in the statement of cash flows for the six months ending June 30, 2017 have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation in accordance with ASU 2016-18. See “ Recent Accounting Pronouncements”.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and updated as appropriate. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax valuation allowances, warranty obligations and reserves for slow-moving and consigned inventory.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of deposit accounts and money market accounts at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Restricted cash consists of cash deposited with a financial institution as collateral for Company credit cards for sales personnel.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the condensed balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the condensed statements of cash flows.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures which extend the economic life, are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized.

Demonstration units are sometimes provided to the Company’s indirect sales channel by the Company for marketing and patient evaluation purposes. These units are manufactured by the Company and are recorded at cost in the statements of operations as part of selling, marketing and general administrative expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company charged to operations approximately $40,600 and $0  respectively, for these units. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company charged to operations approximately $99,500 and $3,000, respectively, for these units. Demonstration units provided by the Company to its own sales force are capitalized as equipment on the Company’s balance sheet.

Test units represent units provided to research and development staff to use in their development process and to end users who are given free units to act as testers so that research and development staff can evaluate and understand the use by patients. A primary objective of these units is to determine when and under what conditions they fail, at which time they are analyzed for cause of failure and then scrapped. These units are recorded at cost in the statements of operations as part of research and development expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company charged to operations approximately $14,800 and $4,900, respectively, of these units. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company charged to operations approximately $19,200 and $19,600, respectively, of these units.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its products to orthotics and prosthetics (“O&P”) practices, the Veterans Health Administration, other hospitals in the United States and through a distribution agreement with Ottobock. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is deemed probable. In certain cases, the Company ships the MyoPro device to O&P practices pending reimbursement from third party payors. As a result of this arrangement, elements of the revenue recognition criteria have not been met upon shipment of the MyoPro. The Company recognizes revenue when payment has been received, as all of the revenue recognition criteria has been met.  

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of relief from certain reporting requirements and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. As such, we have delayed the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers until January 1, 2019.

6


The Company receives federally-funded grants that require the Company to perform research activities as specified in each respective grant. The Company is paid based on the fees stipulated in the respective grants which approximate the projected costs to be incurred by the Company to perform such activities. The Company’s grant revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of the arrangement exists, the service has been provided and adherence to specific parameters of the awarded grant have been met, the amount is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonable assured. The Company recognized approximately $9,000 and $82,900, respectively, of grant income in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Direct costs related to these grants are reported as a component of research and development costs in the statements of operations except for reimbursable costs which are reported as a component of cost of revenue in the statements of operations. Cost of revenue includes reimbursable costs of approximately $7,800 in the six months of 2017. Amounts received in advance are deferred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock awards to employees by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of that award is then ratably recognized as expense over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for that award. Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company calculated the fair value after estimated forfeitures. As of January 1, 2018, the Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment awards, including forfeitures. Under this ASU, the Company elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur, rather than calculating an estimated forfeiture rate using a modified retrospective transition approach, This ASU requires that the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard to be recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the annual reporting period that includes the date of initial application. The cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit at January 1, 2018 was immaterial.

Options and warrants granted to consultants and other non-employees are recorded at fair value as of the grant date and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period until such options and warrants vest, and the fair value of such instruments, as adjusted, is expensed over the related vesting period.

Stock-based compensation expense of approximately $492,100 and $295,400 was recorded in operating expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus potentially dilutive common shares. Convertible debt, preferred stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options and warrants are excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation when their impact is antidilutive. The Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and as a result, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered antidilutive for these periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Related Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. To allow entities additional time to implement systems, gather data and resolve implementation questions, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, in August 2015, to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for one year, which is fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. In addition, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 in March 2016, to help provide interpretive clarifications on the new guidance in ASC Topic 606. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting, transition, and disclosure requirements of the standard to determine the impact, if any, on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers—Principal versus Agent Considerations.” This update provides clarifying guidance regarding the application of ASU No. 2014-09 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers when another party, along with the reporting entity, is involved in providing a good or a service to a customer. In these circumstances, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide that good or service to the customer (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The amendments in the update clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The update is effective, along with ASU 2014-09, for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2016-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2016-12”). ASU 2016-12 provides clarifying guidance in a few narrow areas and adds some practical expedients to the guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for this ASU are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2014-09.

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of relief from certain reporting requirements and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. As such, the Company has delayed the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers until January 1, 2019.

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 and its impact on its financial statements. As an emerging growth company, the Company expects to delay adoption of ASU 2016-02 until January 1, 2019.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment awards, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, using a modified retrospective transition approach, which requires that the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard to be recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the annual reporting period that includes the date of initial application. The Company elected to no longer calculate an estimate of expected forfeitures and begin recognizing forfeitures as they occur. The cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit at January 1, 2018 was immaterial.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which addresses the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows with respect to eight specific cash flow issues. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented, if practical. The Company has adopted this standard and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial statements or disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)”, which clarifies how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows, and as a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. An entity with a material balance of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and the new guidance must be applied retroactively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. If the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes, modification accounting will apply. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the financial statements or disclosures.

In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments” that enhances the guidance surrounding sale leaseback transactions, accounting for taxes on leveraged leases and leases with third party value. The related amendments to the Topics described above become effective on the same schedule as Topics 605, 606, 840 and 842.

8


In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Comp, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The ASU expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The ASU also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting, transition, and disclosure requirements of the standard to determine the impact, if any, on its financial statements.

 

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued, and determined that, except as disclosed herein, there have been no subsequent events that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

Note 5 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

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

 

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quotable prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

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. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar valuation techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash equivalents are a money market fund that limits its investments to only short-term U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements related to these securities.

Cash equivalents and derivative liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2018 were as follows:

Assumptions utilized in the valuation of Level 3 liabilities, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, were as follows:

 

Risk-free interest rate

 

2.73%

 

Expected life

 

3.94 years

 

Expected volatility of underlying stock

 

60.88%

 

Expected dividend yield

 

 

 

 

The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s common stock warrant liabilities was determined by the historical volatilities for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods. The expected term used is the contractual life of the instrument being valued. The expected dividend yield was not considered in the valuation of the common stock liabilities as the Company has never paid, nor has the intention to pay, cash dividends.

Note 6 — Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, 33,477 restricted stock grants vested and 35,086 (net of 19,262 shares withheld for employee taxes) of restricted stock units vested.

Note 7 — Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is reported at cost and consists of 808 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Note 8 — Stock Award Plans and Stock-based Compensation

Stock Option Awards

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of its stock options. There was no income tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for share-based compensation arrangements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.    

The assumptions underlying the calculation of grant date fair value per share are as follows:

The stock price volatility for the Company’s options was determined using historical volatilities for industry peers. The risk-free interest rate was derived from U.S. Treasury rates existing on the date of grant for the applicable expected option term. The expected term represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. Because the Company has only very limited historical exercise behavior, it determines the expected life assumption using the simplified method, which is an average of the contractual term of the option and its ordinary vesting period. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the fact that the Company has never paid, nor has any intention to pay, cash dividends.

On June 19, 2018, the Company’s Shareholders and the Board of Directors approved the Myomo, Inc. 2018 Stock Options and Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”).  The number of shares of common stock available for awards under the 2018 Plan will be equal to 706,119 shares which carries over the remaining 86,119 shares available for grant under the 2016 Plan on April 1, 2018 and increases the share reserve by 620,000 shares, plus on January 1, 2018 and each January 1 thereafter, the number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2018 Plan will be cumulatively increased by 4% of the number shares of common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares of common stock determined by management in consultation with members of the Board of Directors, including the compensation committee.  

On January 3, 2018, the Company issued 15,228 fully vested shares of restricted stock to members of the Company’s board of directors. The Company recorded a compensation expense for these shares in the amount of $60,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

On June 19, 2018, the Company issued 39,864 shares of restricted stock units to members of the Company’s board of directors. The Company determined the fair value of the units based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The compensation expense is being amortized over the respective vesting periods.  The restricted stock units become fully vested on June 30, 2019.

During the first three months of 2018, the Company granted 88,723 restricted stock units to key employees. They were issued with lapsing forfeiture rights extending up to 24 months. At June 30, 2018, 34,375 restricted stock units were subject to forfeiture. The Company determined the fair value of the units based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The compensation expense is being amortized over the respective vesting periods. The Company recorded a charge in the amount of $200,041 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Awards of restricted stock units are generally net share settled upon vesting to cover the required employee statutory withholding taxes and the remaining amount is converted into shares based upon their share-value on the date the award vests. These payments of employee withholding taxes are presented in the statements of cash flows as a financing activity.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The Company attributes the value of stock-based compensation to operations on the straight-line method such that the expense associated with awards is evenly recognized over the vesting period.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of stock option awards to employees and non-employees, restricted stock awards to employees and directors, and restricted stock units to employees, in the statements of operations as follow:

Item 2.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The following discussion may contain predictions, estimates, and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under “Risk Factors”, “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future performance suggested below.

Overview

Myomo is a wearable medical robotics company, specializing in myoelectric braces, or orthotics, for people with neuromuscular disorders. We develop and market the MyoPro product line, which is a myoelectric-controlled upper limb brace, or orthosis. The orthosis is a rigid brace used for the purpose of supporting a patient’s weak or deformed arm to enable and improve functional activities of daily living, or ADLs, in the home and community. It is custom constructed by a qualified O&P practitioner during a custom fabrication process for each individual user to meet their specific needs. Our products are designed to help restore function in individuals with neuromuscular conditions due to brachial plexus injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and other neurological disorders. We sell our products through orthotics and prosthetics, or O&P providers, the Veterans Health Administration, or VA, and our distributor in certain accounts and geographic markets, OttoBock SE & Co. KGaA, or Ottobock.

Our myoelectric orthoses have been clinically shown in peer reviewed published research studies to help restore the ability to complete functional tasks by supporting the affected joint and enabling individuals to self-initiate and control movement of their partially paralyzed limbs by using their own muscle signals.

Our technology was originally developed at MIT in collaboration with medical experts affiliated with Harvard Medical School. Myomo was incorporated in 2004 and completed licensing of its technology from MIT in 2006.

In 2012, we introduced the MyoPro, a custom fabricated orthosis that is individually fabricated for the patient over a positive model of the patient; this fitting process requires specialized education, training, and experience to custom-fabricate and provide to the patient. The primary business focus shifted during this time period from devices which were designed for rehabilitation therapy and sold to hospitals to providing an assistive device through O&P practices to patients who are otherwise impaired for use at home, work, and in the community that facilitates ADLs.

During 2015, we extended our basic MyoPro for the elbow with the introduction of the MyoPro Motion W, a multi-articulated non-powered wrist and the MyoPro Motion G, which includes a powered grasp. The MyoPro Motion W allows the user to use their sound arm to adjust the device and then, for instance, open a refrigerator door, carry a shopping bag, hold a cell phone, or stabilize themselves to avoid a fall and potential injury. The MyoPro Motion G model allows users with severely weakened or clenched hands, such as seen in certain stroke survivors, to open and close their hands and perform a large number of ADLs.

In December 2016, we entered into an agreement with Ottobock, the largest global provider of O&P devices, to begin distributing the MyoPro product line in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Switzerland and Austria in 2017 upon regulatory approval. In accordance with the terms of this agreement, Ottobock agreed to certain minimum purchase requirements during the year ending December 31, 2017. Ottobock’s minimum purchase requirements in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria applied only if we obtained the CE Mark for the MyoPro prior to June 30, 2017. We obtained the CE Mark for the MyoPro after such date and Ottobock is not bound by the minimum purchase requirements in those markets. We and Ottobock recently agreed that there would not be guaranteed minimum purchase requirements in 2018.

We currently sell almost exclusively in the United States. On July 31, 2017, we obtained the CE Mark for the MyoPro. This will enable us to sell the MyoPro to individuals in the European Union, or EU. On October 24, 2017, we obtained a Medical Device License in Canada, which will enable us to sell the MyoPro in Canada.

In May 2018, we announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") has published a favorable preliminary decision regarding the Company’s application for Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) “L” codes. We had filed this application in December 2017 to have CMS establish two new Level II HCPCS codes to describe “microprocessor-controlled, custom fabricated upper extremity braces.” If the decision is made permanent, the codes will become effective on January 1, 2019. The assignment of unique L-Codes, if followed by appropriate payment terms (which are still pending), would offer greater access to the MyoPro for Medicare beneficiaries.

Recent Developments

Initial Public Offering

On June 9, 2017, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, in which we sold 665,498 shares of common stock at an offering price of $7.50 per share. All then-outstanding shares of redeemable and convertible preferred stock converted to 2,622,187 shares of common stock at the closing of the IPO. Our shares are traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “MYO.” We received proceeds from the IPO of $4,659,000, net of selling agent commissions, but before other offering expenses of approximately $729,000. Selling agent commissions and other offering expenses have been recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received.

13


Private Placement

In a private offering concurrent with the closing of the IPO on June 9, 2017, we sold 557,216 units, or Units, to accredited investors for cash proceeds of $2,925,385. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and a three-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. Each Unit was sold at a price of $5.25.

Follow-on Public Offering

On December 4, 2017, we completed a follow-on public offering (“FPO”) in which the Company sold 4,175,000 shares of its common stock and 4,175,000 warrants to purchase shares of its common stock, at a price to the public of $2.40. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $2.95 per share of common stock, and they expire on December 4, 2022. On December 6, 2017, our underwriters on the FPO exercised in full its option to purchase 626,250 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants, at a combined price to the public of $2.40 per combination. After giving effect to the full exercise of the over-allotment option, we sold an aggregate of 4,801,250 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,801,250 shares of common stock, raising $11,523,000 before underwriting discounts and other offering expenses of $1,115,000. Subject to the FPO, an aggregate of 1,205,556 warrants were exercised for additional gross proceeds of $3,556,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Shelf Registration

On July 2, 2018, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission in relation to the registration of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or units of any combination thereof the Company (collectively, the “Securities”) having an aggregate price of up to $75 million, subject to the limitations of the Shelf. The Company simultaneously entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley FBR, Inc., as sales agent, to provide for the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of up to an aggregate amount of $15 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings under the Shelf and subject to the limitations thereof.  The Company shall pay to the sales agent cash commissions of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement.

Convertible Notes

On June 5, 2017, we modified the terms of the then-outstanding convertible promissory notes that we issued in 2016, which we refer to as the 2016 Convertible Notes such that they would automatically convert into common stock upon any public equity financing resulting in gross proceeds to us of at least $5,000,000 (excluding the conversion of the notes and any other indebtedness, but including, for such purposes, all amounts raised in our IPO and the concurrent private placement). All outstanding convertible notes converted to 1,055,430 shares of common stock at the closing of the IPO.

Promissory Notes

We issued promissory notes, as amended, to a former holder of 5% or more of our common stock, or the Shareholder Notes. The maturity date of these notes was June 8, 2019. On November 13, 2017, we entered into an agreement with the noteholder to further modify the terms of such promissory notes. Pursuant to the note amendments, we exercised our election to repay (i) up to 50% of the outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest then due and payable under the Shareholder Notes by issuing shares of the Company’s equity equal to 80% of the price per share of common stock on the repayment date, and (ii) the remainder of the outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest then due and payable under the Shareholder Notes by issuing shares of the Company’s equity equal to the price per share of common stock on the repayment date. On November 13, 2017, we issued 193,509 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the Shareholder Notes, repaying approximately $1,081,000 in principal and accrued but unpaid interest on these notes. The repayment satisfied all outstanding obligations under the Shareholder Notes. In conjunction with this repayment, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $135,200 in the fourth quarter of 2017.

On June 6, 2017, we, entered into an agreement with the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, or MLSC, to extend and amend our promissory note to MLSC. The promissory note’s maturity date of June 7, 2017 was extended to May 7, 2019, with repayment in twenty-four equal monthly installments beginning June 7, 2017. The unpaid principal and accrued interest was due and payable upon the earlier of (i) May 7, 2019, (ii) the closing of an initial public offering, prior to August 1, 2017, with gross proceeds of not less than $10 million, for which the IPO did not qualify, (iii) the sale of additional equity securities of $5 million or more at any time other than in connection with our initial public offering prior to August 1, 2017, (iv) the closing of an acquisition of our company, and (v) the occurrence of a default, as defined in the promissory note. The amended promissory note bore a reduced interest rate of 7% per annum. MLSC had the right, at its sole discretion, to extend the maturity date. We had the right to redeem the note, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium with thirty days’ notice to MLSC. On December 13, 2017, we repaid MLSC all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest, totaling $874,600. The repayment satisfied all outstanding obligations under this note.

Results of Operations

We have been growing revenues while incurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and anticipate this to continue as we focus our efforts on continuing to expand our sales and marketing efforts to expand into new geographic markets, invest in development of our MyoPro products, and the funding of clinical research studies to support our reimbursement efforts.

Revenues

We derive revenue primarily from the sale of our products through our O&P practices and Ottobock, our independent distributor, as well as direct sales to the VA. As a result of the elimination of a guaranteed minimum purchase requirement in 2018 for Ottobock, revenues from Ottobock, which was a major customer in 2017, are expected to significantly decline in 2018 as compared to 2017 revenues from Ottobock. However, we expect that our total product revenues will grow as a result of our increased selling and marketing efforts through O&P channel partners and direct sales.

We receive grants that require us to perform research activities as specified in each respective grant. We are paid based on the fees stipulated in the respective grants which approximate the projected costs to be incurred by us to perform such activities. We expect that our grant revenues, in the future, will become a less significant component of our revenues. 

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Total revenue increased by $325,700, or 106%, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, product revenue increased $385,700, or 159%, versus the comparable period of 2017. Results for the three months ended June 30, 2018, included increase in units as well as number of direct sales which resulted in a higher average selling price. Results for the three months ended June 30, 2017 included $64,000 of grant revenue that was partially offset by a $12,000 decrease in product revenue, due to a lower average selling price. We recognized $4,500 of grant revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $64,000 for the three ended June 30, 2017. We expect that grant revenue will continue to decline in future periods as we complete our research activities associated with the grants.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Total revenue increased by $422,600, or 81%, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, product revenue increased $496,500, or 113%, versus the comparable period of 2017. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2018, included an increase in units as well as a higher average selling price due to increase in direct sales. Grant revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $9,000 compared with $83,000 of grant revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Gross margin

Cost of revenue consists of direct costs for the manufacturing and fabrication of our products, inventory reserves, warranty costs and royalties associated with licensed technologies. We also include the incremental costs incurred for our federally funded grants in cost of revenue.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Gross margin remained relatively consistent at 68% for each of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, our product warranty reserve increased $14,000, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017, due to a three-year standard product warranty being offered with the new version of our MyoPro product, as opposed to the one-year standard warranty that was offered with previous versions of our products.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, grant revenue decreased by $60,000, as compared to the same period in 2017 due the completion of the researrch projects. The research projects associated with grant revenue generally do not result in our incurring any additional incremental costs.

15


We expect our product gross margins to vary depending on the mix of our product sales and sales channels.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Gross margin remained relatively consistent at 67% and 66% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The six months ended June 30, 2018 included a $25,500 decrease in inventory reserves as compared to the same period in 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our product warranty reserve increased $26,300, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, due to a three-year standard product warranty being offered with the new version of our MyoPro product, as opposed to the one-year standard warranty that was offered with previous versions of our products.

Our 2016 Össur distribution agreement was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2016, but we verbally extended the agreement for one quarter for specified orders in Össur’s sales pipeline at December 31, 2016 and extended the time for the minimum purchase requirements for this amount. In the first quarter of 2017, Össur had not yet closed all these orders; therefore, we recognized $37,000 of minimum purchase requirement related revenue without any associated cost of revenue.

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist of costs for our research and development personnel, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, product development costs, costs required to comply with the regulatory requirements of the Food and Drug Administration, the cost of certain third-party contractors and travel expense. Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred. We intend to continue to develop additional products and enhance our existing products and expect research and development costs to continue to increase on an annual basis.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Research and development expenses decreased $221,600, or 31%, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to an incentive bonus of $300,000 to an engineering executive in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease is partially offset by a $50,800 increase in compensation costs relating to increase in engineering personnel and a $22,900 increase in engineering, testing, tooling, set-up and prototype costs.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Research and development expenses decreased $206,200, or 19%, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to an incentive bonus of $300,000 to an engineering executive in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease is partially offset by a $58,400 increase in compensations costs relating to increase in engineering personnel and a $26,800 increase in engineering, testing, tooling, set-up and prototype costs.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling expenses consist of costs for our sales and marketing personnel, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation and sales commissions, costs of marketing and promotional events, clinical studies, corporate communications, product marketing and travel expenses. Sales commissions are generally earned and recorded as expense when the revenue is recognized. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase as we expand our sales and marketing efforts.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs for administrative and finance personnel, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, professional fees associated with legal matters, consulting expenses, costs for pursuing insurance reimbursements for our products, and costs required to comply with the regulatory requirements of the SEC, as well as costs associated with accounting systems, insurance premiums and other corporate expenses. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase as we pursue an increased number of insurance reimbursements and seek expanded payer coverage for our products and add administrative and accounting support structure for our growing business and as a result of becoming a public company.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and  2017

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,194,100, or 83%, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period on 2017. The increase was primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $635,200, which includes $418,600 for additional sales, marketing and administrative personnel hired, offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense of $145,000. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was primarily due to mark-to-market valuation of non-qualified stock options issued to non-employees in the second quarter of 2017. Professional and consulting fees increased $233,300 primarily due to increased costs for legal, accounting fees associated tax and accounting support, investor relations and consulting costs supporting our reimbursement efforts. Travel expenses increased $66,800 for travel related to sales, investor conferences and business development, administrative costs relating to insurance, rent and office expenses increased $106,300 and marketing expenses increased  $113,000, primarily for lead generation, public relations and trade shows.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2,285,300, or 89%, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period on 2017. The increase was primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $944,900, which includes $718,400 was for additional sales, marketing and administrative, sales personnel hired; and an increase in share-based compensation expense of $140,338. The increase in share-based compensation expense was primarily due to a portion of 2017 executive bonuses and directors compensation being paid in equity grants during the first quarter of 2018 and new hire stock options issued in the second quarter of 2018. Professional and consulting fees increased $396,100 primarily due to increased costs for accounting fees associated tax and accounting support, investor relations and consulting costs supporting our reimbursement efforts. Travel expenses increased $179,500 for travel related to sales, investor conferences and business development, administrative costs relating to insurance, rent and office expenses increased $213,100 and marketing expenses increased by $196,700, primarily for lead generation, public relations and trade shows.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

The decrease in the fair value of derivative liabilities is due to the mark-to-market adjustment of our liabilities primarily due to the decline in our stock price during the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The decrease in debt discount on convertible notes is directly due to the closing of our IPO in June 2017, as the combined relative fair value of the warrants and the value of the beneficial conversion feature exceeded the principal value of the convertible notes that resulted in interest expense on the debt discount in the statement of operations on June 9, 2017, our IPO closing date, equal to $5,172,000 principal value of the notes.  During the three months ended June 30, 2018 the company generated interest income of $50,000, as compared to incurring interest expense of $146,250 in the same period of 2017. We did not incur interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2018 due to the payoff of our outstanding debt and our convertible promissory notes being converted into common stock upon the closing of our IPO on June 9, 2017.  

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

We did not incur interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the conversion of our convertible promissory into common stock upon the closing of our IPO on June 9, 2017 and the payoff of our outstanding debt in the fourth quarter of 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred interest expense of $146,000 for contingently issuable shares in connection with a technology license.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we earned interest income of $92,000 as a result of the proceeds received from our follow-on offering on December 4, 2017 and $3.6 million of proceeds received from the exercise of warrants during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides investors with additional information about our financial results. Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure used by our board of directors and management to evaluate our operating performance from period-to-period on a consistent basis and as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest and other income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for, stock based-compensation, the debt discount on convertible notes and the impact of the fair value revaluation of our derivative liabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. As a non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In particular:

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the amounts we paid in interest expense on our outstanding debt;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the amounts we paid in taxes or other components of our tax provision;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not include other income (expense);

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation expense from fixed assets;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of stock-based compensation;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not include the debt discount on convertible notes;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not include the change in value of our derivative liabilities; and

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not include loss on early extinguishment of debt.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures including net income (loss) and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

We had working capital and stockholders’ equity of $11,208,700 and $ 11,451,100 , respectively, at June 30, 2018. We believe that working capital, and in view of our continued operating losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the accompanying financial statements are issued. We will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations and to further execute our business plan. Our operating needs include costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully increase sales of our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.

Our plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern are primarily focused on raising additional capital in order to meet our obligations and execute our business plan by pursuing our product development initiatives and penetrating markets for the sale of our products. We believe that we have access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, exercises of outstanding warrants, debt financings, or other means; however, we may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or raise capital on favorable terms. Debt financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness; and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms. There can be no assurance we will be successful in implementing our plans to alleviate substantial doubt.

The net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2017, was primarily used to fund a net loss of $8,938,000, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $5,711,000, of which $5,327,000 of non-cash adjustments related to fair value adjustments of warrants and derivative liabilities, and by $480,000 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily related to increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued interest partially offset by increases in our accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and payments of deferred offering costs.

Investing Activities . During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, our cash used in investing activities was for the purchase of equipment.

Financing Activities . During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash provided by financing activities of $3,439,200 was primarily due to $3,556,400 of proceeds received for the exercise of warrants.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, $4,423,000 of cash was provided by financing activities from net proceeds of the initial public offering, $2,923,000 from net proceeds from our private placement, and $1,770,000 from our convertible note offering.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and did not have any such arrangements in three months ended June 30, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and updated as appropriate. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of our deferred tax asset, the fair value of our derivative liabilities and reserves for slow moving and consigned inventory.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings material to our business or financial condition pending and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no such legal proceedings contemplated or threatened.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

The following important factors, among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material may also significantly impair our business operations. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and investors may lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Associated with Our Business

We may experience significant fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results.

Fluctuations in our quarterly and annual financial results have resulted and will continue to result from numerous factors, including:

 

changes in the mix of products we sell;

 

strategic actions by us, such as acquisitions of businesses, products, or technologies;

 

effects of domestic and foreign economic conditions and exchange rates on our industry and/or customers;

 

the divestiture or discontinuation of a product line or other revenue generating activity;

 

the relocation and integration of manufacturing operations and other strategic restructuring;

 

regulatory actions which may necessitate recalls of our products or warning letters that negatively affect the markets for our products;

 

costs incurred by us in connection with the termination of contractual and other relationships, including distributorships;

 

our ability to collect outstanding accounts receivable in selected countries outside of the United States;

 

the expiration or exhaustion of deferred tax assets such as net operating loss carry-forwards;

 

increased product and price competition, due to the regulatory landscape, market conditions or other factors;

 

market reception of our new or improved product offerings;

 

the loss of any significant customer; and

 

timing and number of reimbursements of our products by insurance payors.

These factors, some of which are not within our control, may cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. If our quarterly operating results fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price could drop suddenly and significantly. We believe the quarterly comparisons of our financial results are not always meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

We currently rely, and in the future will rely, on sales of our MyoPro products for our revenue, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain market acceptance or obtain Medicare or private third-party payer reimbursement for our products.

We currently rely, and in the future will rely, on sales of our MyoPro products for our revenue. MyoPro products are relatively new products, and market acceptance and adoption depend on educating people with limited upper extremity mobility and healthcare providers as to the distinct features, ease-of-use, positive lifestyle impact and other benefits of MyoPro systems compared to alternative technologies and treatments. MyoPro products may not be perceived to have sufficient potential benefits compared with these alternatives, which include rehabilitation therapy or amputation with a prosthetic replacement. Also, we believe that healthcare providers tend to be slow to change their medical treatment practices because of perceived liability risks arising from the use of new products and the uncertainty of third-party reimbursement. Accordingly, healthcare providers may not recommend the MyoPro until there is sufficient evidence to convince them to alter the treatment methods they typically recommend. This evidence may include prominent healthcare providers or other key opinion leaders in the upper extremity paralysis community recommending the MyoPro as effective in providing identifiable immediate and long-term health benefits, and the publication of additional peer-reviewed clinical studies demonstrating its value.

21


We are almost entirely dependent on third parties to cover the cost of our products to patients and heavily rely on our distributors’ ability to obtain reimbursement for the cost of our products. If Medicare, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, or the VA, health insurance companies and other third-party payers do not provide adequate coverage or reimbursement for our products, then our sales will be limited to clinical facilities and individuals who can pay for our devices without reimbursement. As a result, our sales would be significantly constrained. Currently, reimbursement for the cost of our products is obtained primarily on a case-by-case basis until such time, if any, we obtain broad coverage policies with Medicare and third-party payers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain these broad coverage policies.

In connection with Medicare reimbursement, we have filed the application for a unique Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System, or HCPCS, code applicable to our product line. We believe the receipt of a HCPCS code could expand the pool of potential users of our products because Medicare eligible patients would have greater access to our products, especially those patients who are not able to afford our products without Medicare reimbursement. To our knowledge, as of December 31, 2017, fewer than ten units have been self-paid or funded by non-profit foundations. The process of obtaining an HCPCS code is long and often requires clinical experience to validate the need for a new code specific to the MyoPro. While we received a favorable preliminary decision on our application in May 2018, we cannot make any assurance that a HCPCS code will be issued or that the amount of reimbursement approved will be sufficient to provide a reasonable profit to us or to our distributors.

Reimbursement amounts, whether on a case-by-case basis or pursuant to broader coverage policies, which may be established in the future, may be insufficient to permit us to generate sufficient gross margins to allow us to operate on a profitable basis. Third-party payers also may deny coverage, limit reimbursement or reduce their levels of payment, or our costs of production may increase faster than increases in reimbursement levels. In addition, we may not obtain coverage and reimbursement approvals in a timely manner. Our failure to receive such approvals would negatively impact market acceptance of MyoPro.

Achieving and maintaining market acceptance of MyoPro products could be negatively impacted by many other factors, including, but not limited to:

 

lack of sufficient evidence supporting the benefits of MyoPro over competitive products or other available treatment, or lifestyle management to accommodate the disability;

 

patient resistance to wearing an assistive device or making required insurance co-payments;

 

results of clinical studies relating to MyoPro or similar products;

 

claims that MyoPro, or any component thereof, infringes on patent or other intellectual property rights of third-parties;

 

perceived risks associated with the use of MyoPro or similar products or technologies;

 

the introduction of new competitive products or greater acceptance of competitive products;

 

adverse regulatory or legal actions relating to MyoPro or similar products or technologies; and

 

problems arising from the outsourcing of our manufacturing capabilities, or our existing manufacturing and supply relationships.

Any factors that negatively impact sales of MyoPro would adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We depend on a single third party to manufacture the MyoPro and a limited number of third-party suppliers for certain components of the MyoPro.

We have contracted with Cogmedix, Inc., or Cogmedix, a contract manufacturer with expertise in the medical device industry, for the manufacture of all of our products and the sourcing of all of our components and raw materials. Pursuant to this contract, Cogmedix manufactures the MyoPro pursuant to our specifications at its facility in Worcester, Massachusetts. We may terminate our relationship with Cogmedix at any time upon sixty (60) days’ written notice. For our business strategy to be successful, Cogmedix must be able to manufacture our products in sufficient quantities, in compliance with regulatory requirements and quality control standards, in accordance with agreed upon specifications, at acceptable costs and on a timely basis. Increases in our product sales, whether forecasted or unanticipated, could strain the ability of Cogmedix to manufacture an increasingly large supply of our current or future products in a manner that meets these various requirements. In addition, although we are not restricted from engaging an alternative manufacturer, the process of moving our manufacturing activities would be time consuming and costly, and may limit our ability to meet our sales commitments, which could harm our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, any new contract manufacturer would need to be compliant with FDA regulations and International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, standard 13485.

We also rely on third-party suppliers, some of which contract directly with Cogmedix, to supply certain components of the MyoPro products. Cogmedix does not have long-term supply agreements with most of their suppliers and, in many cases, makes purchases on a purchase order basis. We do not have any long-term supply agreements directly with Cogmedix’s suppliers. Our ability and Cogmedix’s ability to secure adequate quantities of such products may be limited. Suppliers may encounter problems that limit their ability to manufacture components for our products, including financial difficulties or damage to their manufacturing equipment or facilities. If we, or Cogmedix, fail to obtain sufficient quantities of high quality components to meet demand on a timely basis, we could lose customer orders, our reputation may be harmed, and our business could suffer.

22


Cogmedix generally uses a small number of suppliers for the MyoPro products. Depending on a limited number of suppliers exposes us to risks, including limited control over pricing, availability, quality and delivery schedules. If any one or more of our suppliers ceases to provide sufficient quantities of components in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, Cogmedix would have to seek alternative sources of supply. It may be difficult to engage additional or replacement suppliers in a timely manner. Failure of these suppliers to deliver products at the level our business requires would limit our ability to meet our sales commitments, which could harm our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our business. Cogmedix also may have difficulty obtaining similar components from other suppliers that are acceptable to the FDA or other regulatory agencies, and the failure of Cogmedix’s suppliers to comply with strictly enforced regulatory requirements could expose us to regulatory action including warning letters, product recalls, termination of distribution, product seizures or civil penalties. It could also require Cogmedix to cease using the components, seek alternative components or technologies and we could be forced to modify our products to incorporate alternative components or technologies, which could result in a requirement to seek additional regulatory approvals. Any disruption of this nature or increased expenses could harm our commercialization efforts and adversely affect our operating results.

We also rely on a limited number of suppliers for the batteries used by the MyoPro and do not maintain any long-term supply agreement with respect to batteries. If we fail to obtain sufficient quantities of batteries in a timely manner, our reputation may be harmed and our business could suffer.

We depend on a related third-party to provide the custom fabrication of the MyoPro.

Currently, we rely on Geauga Rehabilitation Engineering, Inc., or GRE, a small, privately-held firm in Chardon, Ohio, to provide custom fabrication services for all MyoPro orders. GRE also provides product development support for the development and prototyping of new MyoPro product designs. GRE is owned by Jonathan Naft, a Myomo executive. However, another member of the GRE management team oversees the fabrication contract that we have entered into for these services which is at arm’s-length. Since GRE is currently the only provider of MyoPro fabrication services, our business may be impacted by any difficulties GRE has with its suppliers, operating facilities, trained personnel, and any financial issues. In the event GRE fails to fulfill our orders, then we may terminate our contract. In addition, Mr. Naft’s employment with us is at-will and there can be no assurance that we can retain his services to us. If our relationship with GRE or with Mr. Naft were terminated, we might have difficulty finding a replacement for GRE’s services, in particular, with respect to GRE’s prototyping services. This could result in an adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance.

Since inception through June 30, 2018, we have shipped over 750 units for use by patients at home and at clinical facilities. Our latest product line, the MyoPro, was introduced to the market in fall 2012 and we have shipped approximately 450 units since such time. As a result, we have a limited operating history. It is difficult to forecast our future results based upon our historical data. Because of the uncertainties related to our limited historical operations, we may be hindered in our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in revenues or expenses.

We have a history of operations losses and our financial statements for June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 include disclosures regarding there being substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have a history of losses since inception. For the six ended June 30, 2018, we incurred a net loss of $4,974,963, and for the year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred a net loss of $12,097,479. At June 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $39,947,750. We expect to continue to incur operating and net losses for the foreseeable future as we expand our sales and marketing efforts, invest in product development and establish the necessary administrative functions to support our growing operations and being a public company. Our losses in future periods may be greater than the losses we would incur if we developed our business more slowly. In addition, we may find that these efforts are more expensive than we currently anticipate or that these efforts may not result in increases in our revenues, which would further increase our losses. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue operations in the future as a going concern, as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017. Although our financial statements raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, they do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue our business. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in our company.

We may not have sufficient funds to meet our future capital requirements.

We have cash and cash equivalents of approximately $11.7 million at June 30, 2018. We will need additional capital and we may be unable to obtain additional funds on reasonable terms, or at all. Our ability to secure financing and the cost of raising such capital are dependent on numerous factors, including general economic and capital markets conditions, credit availability from lenders, investor confidence and the existence of regulatory and tax incentives that are conducive to raising capital. Uncertainty in the financial markets has caused banks and financial institutions to decrease the amount of capital available for lending and has significantly increased the risk premium of such borrowings. In addition, such turmoil and uncertainty has significantly limited the ability of companies to raise funds through the sale of equity or debt securities. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may need to delay, modify or abandon some or all of our business plans or cease operations.

23


If we raise funds through the issuance of debt, the amount of any indebtedness that we may raise in the future may be substantial, and we may be required to secure such indebtedness with our assets and may have substantial interest expenses. If we default on any future indebtedness, our lenders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable and our secured lenders may foreclose on the facilities securing such indebtedness. The incurrence of indebtedness could require us to meet financial and operating covenants, which could place limits on our operations and ability to raise additional capital, decrease our liquidity and increase the amount of cash flow required to service our debt. If we raise funds through the issuance of equity securities, such issuance could result in dilution to our stockholders and the newly-issued securities may have rights senior to those of the holders of our common stock.

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and to raise additional capital to meet our obligations. Based on our current operating plan, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to enable us to maintain our currently planned operations beyond the next 12 months. We have no additional committed external sources of funds and additional financing may not be available when we need it or may not be available on terms that are favorable to us.

The industries in which we operate are highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. If our competitors are better able to develop and market products that are safer, more effective, less costly, easier to use, or are otherwise more attractive, we may be unable to compete effectively with other companies.

Industrial and medical robotics is characterized by intense competition and rapid technological change, and we will face competition on the basis of product features, clinical outcomes, price, services and other factors. Competitors may include large medical device and other companies, some of which have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do, and firms that are more specialized than we are with respect to particular markets. Our competition may respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies, undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do or may be more successful in attracting potential customers, employees and strategic partners.

Our competitive position will depend on multiple complex factors, including our ability to achieve market acceptance for our products, develop new products, implement production and marketing plans, secure regulatory approvals for products under development and protect our intellectual property. In some instances, competitors may also offer, or may attempt to develop, alternative therapies for disease states that may be delivered without a medical device. The development of new or improved products, processes or technologies by other companies may render our products or proposed products obsolete or less competitive. The entry into the market of manufacturers located in low-cost manufacturing locations may also create pricing pressure, particularly in developing markets. Our future success depends, among other things, upon our ability to compete effectively against current technology, as well as to respond effectively to technological advances, and upon our ability to successfully implement our marketing strategies and execute our research and development plan.

We utilize distributors who are free to market products that compete with the MyoPro, and we rely on these distributors to select appropriate patients and provide adequate follow-on care.

We rely heavily on our relationships with O&P practices, the VA and our distribution arrangements, with Ottobock, to market and sell our products. We believe that a meaningful percentage of our sales will continue to be generated through these channels in the future. However, none of these partners are required to sell or provide our products exclusively. If a key independent distributor were to cease to distribute our products, our sales could be adversely affected. In such a situation, we may need to seek alternative independent distributors or increase our reliance on our other independent distributors or our direct sales representatives, which may not prevent our sales from being adversely affected. Additionally, to the extent that we enter into additional arrangements with independent distributors to perform sales, marketing, or distribution services, the terms of the arrangements could cause our profit margins to be lower than if we directly marketed and sold our products.

If these independent distributors do not follow our inclusion/exclusion criteria for patient selection or do not provide adequate follow-on care, then our reputation may be harmed by patient dissatisfaction. This could also lead to product returns and adversely affect our financial condition. When issues with distributors have arisen in the past, we have supplied additional training and documentation and/or ended the distributor relationship.

The market for myoelectric braces is new and the rate of adoption uncertain, and important assumptions about the potential market for our products may be inaccurate.

The market for myoelectric braces, or orthotics, is new and the rate of adoption uncertain. Our estimates of market size are derived from statistics regarding the number of individuals with paralysis, but not necessarily limited to their upper extremities. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict the future size and rate of growth of the market. We cannot be certain whether the market will continue to develop or if orthotics will achieve and sustain a level of market acceptance and demand sufficient for us to continue to generate revenue and achieve profitability.

24


Limited sources exist to obtain reliable market data with respect to the number of mobility-impaired individuals and the occurrence of upper extremity paralysis in our target markets. In addition, there are no third-party reports or studies regarding what percentage of those with upper extremity paralysis would be able to use orthotics in general, or our current or planned future products in particular. In order to use our current products marketed to those with upper extremity paralysis, users must meet a set of inclusion criteria and not have a medical condition which disqualifies them from being an appropriate candidate. Future products for those with upper extremity paralysis may have the same or other restrictions. Our business strategy is based, in part, on our estimates of the number of upper extremity impaired individuals and the incidence of upper extremity injuries in our target markets and the percentage of those groups that would be able to use our current and future products. Our assumptions and estimates may be inaccurate and may change.

If the upper extremity orthotics market fails to develop or develops more slowly than we expect, or if we have relied on sources or made assumptions or estimates that are not accurate, our business could be adversely affected.

In addition, because we operate in a new market, the actions of our competitors could adversely affect our business. Adverse events such as product defects or legal claims with respect to competing or similar products could cause reputational harm to the market on the whole. Further, adverse regulatory findings or reimbursement-related decisions with respect to other products could negatively impact the entire market and, accordingly, our business.

We may receive a significant number of warranty claims or our MyoPro may require significant amounts of service after sale.

Sales of MyoPro products generally include a three-year warranty for parts and services, other than for normal wear and tear. As the number and complexity of the features and functionalities of our products increase, we may experience a higher level of warranty claims. If product returns or warranty claims are significant or exceed our expectations, we could incur unanticipated expenditures for parts and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Defects in our products or the software that drives them could adversely affect the results of our operations.

The design, manufacture and marketing of the MyoPro products involve certain inherent risks. Manufacturing or design defects, unanticipated use of the MyoPro, or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of MyoPro products can lead to injury or other adverse events. In addition, because the manufacturing of our products is outsourced to Cogmedix, we may not be aware of manufacturing defects that could occur. Such adverse events could lead to recalls or safety alerts relating to MyoPro products (either voluntary or required by the FDA or similar governmental authorities in other countries), and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of MyoPro products from the market. A recall could result in significant costs. To the extent any manufacturing defect occurs, our agreement with Cogmedix contains a limitation on Cogmedix’s liability, and therefore we could be required to incur the majority of related costs. Our agreement with GRE does not contain a similar limitation of liability; however, a defect in connection with the fabrication of our products may result in significant costs in connection with lawsuits or refunds. Product defects or recalls could also result in negative publicity, damage to our reputation or, in some circumstances, delays in new product approvals.

MyoPro users may not use MyoPro products in accordance with safety protocols and training, which could enhance the risk of injury. Any such occurrence could cause delay in market acceptance of MyoPro products, damage to our reputation, additional regulatory filings, product recalls, increased service and warranty costs, product liability claims and loss of revenue relating to such hardware or software defects.

The medical device industry has historically been subject to extensive litigation over product liability claims. We have not been subject to such claims to date; however, we may become subject to product liability claims alleging defects in the design, manufacture or labeling of our products in the future. A product liability claim, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could result in significant legal defense costs and high punitive damage payments. Although we maintain product liability insurance, the coverage is subject to deductibles and limitations, and may not be adequate to cover future claims. Additionally, we may be unable to maintain our existing product liability insurance in the future at satisfactory rates or adequate amounts.

There is no long-term clinical data with respect to the effects of MyoPro products, and our products could cause unforeseen negative effects.

While short-term clinical studies have established the safety of MyoPro products, there is no long-term clinical data with respect to the safety or physical effects of the MyoPro. Future results and experience could indicate that our products are not safe for long-term use or cause unexpected complications or other unforeseen negative effects. Because MyoPro users generally do not have feeling in their upper extremities, users may not immediately notice damaging effects, which could exacerbate their impact. If in the future MyoPro products are shown to be unsafe or cause such unforeseen effects, we could be subject to mandatory product recalls, suspension or withdrawal of FDA registration, significant legal liability or harm to our business reputation.

25


We may enter into collaborations, licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances or partnerships with third-parties that may not result in the development of commercially viable products or the generation of significant future revenues.

In the ordinary course of our business, in the future we may enter into collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances or partnerships to develop the MyoPro and to pursue new markets. Proposing, negotiating and implementing collaborations, licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances or partnerships may be a lengthy and complex process. We may not identify, secure, or complete any such transactions or arrangements in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, on acceptable terms or at all. We have limited institutional knowledge and experience with respect to these business development activities, and we may also not realize the anticipated benefits of any such transaction or arrangement. In particular, these collaborations may not result in the development of products that achieve commercial success or result in significant revenues and could be terminated prior to developing any products. For example, we have entered into an arrangement with Ottobock, effective January 1, 2017, for the distribution of our products in the U.S. and certain other countries. Ottobock has the distribution rights to certain customers in the U.S. as well as other territories.

We recently agreed that there would not be guaranteed minimum purchase requirements in 2018 which gives us the flexibility to enter into distribution agreements with other parties. Ottobock will not be required to purchase a minimum number of our products, and as a result, revenues from Ottobock, which was a major customer in 2017, are expected to significantly decline in 2018 as compared to 2017 revenues from Ottobock.

If we pursue collaborations, licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances or partnerships, we may not be in a position to exercise sole decision decision-making authority regarding the transaction or arrangement, which could create the potential risk of creating impasses on decisions, and our collaborators may have economic or business interests or goals that are, or that may become, inconsistent with our business interests or goals. It is possible that conflicts may arise with our collaborators. Our collaborators may act in their self-interest, which may be adverse to our best interest, and they may breach their obligations to us. Any such disputes could result in litigation or arbitration which would increase our expenses and divert the attention of our management. Further, these transactions and arrangements are contractual in nature and may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the applicable agreements.

If we fail to properly manage our anticipated growth, our business could suffer.

As we expand the number of locations which provide the MyoPro products, including future planned international distribution, we expect that it will place significant strain on our management team and on our financial resources. Failure to manage our growth effectively could cause us to misallocate management or financial resources and result in losses or weaknesses in our infrastructure, systems, processes and controls, which could materially adversely affect our business. Additionally, our anticipated growth will increase the demands placed on our suppliers, resulting in an increased need for us to manage our suppliers and monitor for quality assurance.

Moreover, there are significant costs and risks inherent in selling our products in international markets, including: (a) time and difficulty in building a widespread network of distribution partners; (b) increased shipping and distribution costs, which could increase our expenses and reduce our margins; (c) potentially lower margins in some regions; (d) longer collection cycles in some regions; (e) compliance with foreign laws and regulations; (f) compliance with anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations, by us, our employees, and our business partners; (g) currency exchange rate fluctuations and related effects on our results of operations; (h) economic weakness, including inflation, or political instability in foreign economies and markets; (i) compliance with tax, employment, immigration, and labor laws for employees living or traveling abroad; (j) workforce uncertainty in countries where labor unrest is more common than in the United States; (k) business interruptions resulting from geopolitical actions, including war and terrorism, or natural disasters, including earthquakes, typhoons, floods and fires; and (l) other costs and risks of doing business internationally, such as new tariffs which may be imposed.

These and other factors could harm our ability to implement planned international operations and, consequently, harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Further, we may incur significant operating expenses as a result of our planned international expansion, and it may not be successful. We have limited experience with regulatory environments and market practices internationally, and we may not be able to penetrate or successfully operate in new markets. We may also encounter difficulty expanding into international markets because of limited brand recognition, leading to delayed or limited acceptance of our products by patients in these markets. Accordingly, if we are unable to expand internationally or manage our international operations successfully, we may not achieve the expected benefits of this expansion and our financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

We depend on the knowledge and skills of our senior management.

We have benefited substantially from the leadership and performance of our senior management and other key employees. We do not carry key person insurance. Our success will depend on our ability to retain our current management and key employees. Competition for these key persons in our industry is intense and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain our personnel. The loss of the services of certain members of our senior management or key employees could prevent or delay the implementation and completion of our strategic objectives or divert management’s attention to seeking qualified replacements.

26


We may seek to grow our business through acquisitions of complementary products or technologies, and the failure to manage acquisitions, or the failure to integrate them with our existing business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

From time to time, we may consider opportunities to acquire other products or technologies that may enhance our products or technology, or advance our business strategies. Potential acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:

 

problems assimilating the acquired products or technologies;

 

issues maintaining uniform standards, procedures, controls and policies;

 

unanticipated costs associated with acquisitions;

 

diversion of management’s attention from our existing business;

 

risks associated with entering new markets in which we have limited or no experience; and

 

increased legal and accounting costs relating to the acquisitions or compliance with regulatory matters.

We have no current commitments with respect to any acquisition and no current plans to seek acquisitions; however, depending on industry and market conditions, we may consider acquisitions in the future. If we do proceed with acquisitions, we do not know if we will be able to identify acquisitions we deem suitable, whether we will be able to successfully complete any such acquisitions on favorable terms or at all, or whether we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired products or technologies. Our potential inability to integrate any acquired products or technologies effectively may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

We are subject to extensive governmental regulations relating to the manufacturing, labeling and marketing of our products, and a failure to comply with such regulations could lead to withdrawal or recall of our products from the market.

Our medical products and manufacturing operations are subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and other governmental authorities both inside and outside of the United States. These agencies enforce laws and regulations that govern the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, installation, servicing, advertising, promoting, marketing, distribution, import, export and market surveillance of our MyoPro products.

Our products are regulated as medical devices in the United States under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or the FFDCA, as implemented and enforced by the FDA. Under the FFDCA, medical devices are classified into one of three classes–Class I, Class II or Class III–depending on the degree of risk associated with the medical device, what is known about the type of device, and the extent of control needed to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. Classification of a device is important because the class to which a device is assigned determines, among other things, the necessity and type of FDA pre-market review. This determination is required prior to promoting or advertising the device. See “Business — Government Regulation.”

In 2012, we registered the MyoPro device as a Class I limb orthosis with the FDA. From time to time, the FDA may disagree with classification of a new Class I medical device and require the registered establishment listing that device to apply for approval as a Class II or Class III medical device. As the FDA is now giving more attention to the differentiated performance of myoelectric controlled orthotics, we recently elected to change our classification registration to Class II. In the event that the FDA determines that our medical products should be reclassified as Class III medical devices, we could be precluded from marketing the devices for clinical use within the U.S. for months or longer depending on the requirements of the classification. Reclassification of our products as requiring 510(k) or pre-market approval, or PMA, could significantly increase our regulatory costs, including expense associated with required pre-clinical (animal) and clinical (human) trials, more extensive mechanical and electrical testing and other costs.

We are registered with the FDA as a specifications developer for medical devices. Following the introduction of a product, the governmental agencies will periodically review our product development methodology, quality management systems, and product performance. We are under a continuing obligation to ensure that all applicable regulatory requirements continue to be met. Our facilities are subject to periodic and unannounced inspection by U.S. and foreign regulatory agencies to audit compliance with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, and comparable foreign regulations.

The process of complying with the applicable good manufacturing practices, adverse event reporting and other requirements can be costly and time consuming, and could delay or prevent the production, manufacturing or sale of the MyoPro. If the FDA determines that we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, they may issue a warning letter with one or more citations. This directive, if not closed promptly can result in fines, delays or suspensions of regulatory clearances, closure of manufacturing sites, seizures or recalls of products and damage to our reputation. Recent changes in enforcement practice by the FDA and other agencies have resulted in increased enforcement activity, which increases the compliance risk that we and other companies in our industry are facing.

27


In addition, governmental agencies of the United States or other countries may impose new requirements regarding registration, labeling or prohibited materials that may require us to modify or re-register the MyoPro once it is already on the market or otherwise impact our ability to market the MyoPro in the US or other countries. The process of complying with these governmental regulations can be costly and time consuming, and could delay or prevent the production, manufacturing or sale of the MyoPro. For instance, the FDA may issue mandates, known as 522 orders, requiring us to conduct post-market studies of products. Failure to comply could result in enforcement of the FFDCA against us or our products including an agency request that we recall our MyoPro products.

If we or our third-party manufacturers or key suppliers fail to comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, our manufacturing operations could be interrupted.

Our key suppliers are also required to comply with the FDA’s QSR which covers the methods and documentation of the production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, storage and shipping of our products. Cogmedix, our electromechanical kit manufacturer, and other key suppliers are also subject to the regulations of foreign jurisdictions regarding the manufacturing process with respect to the market for our products abroad.

We continue to monitor our quality management with our suppliers to improve our overall level of compliance. Our facilities are subject to periodic and unannounced inspection by U.S. and foreign regulatory agencies to audit compliance with the QSR and comparable foreign regulations. If the facilities of our suppliers are found to be in violation of applicable laws and regulations, or if our suppliers fail to take satisfactory corrective action in response to an adverse inspection, the regulatory authority could take enforcement action, including any of the following sanctions:

 

untitled letters, warning letters, Form 483 findings (results from quality system inspections), fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

 

customer notifications or repair, replacement or refunds;

 

detention, recalls or seizure of our products;

 

operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

 

withdrawing our FDA registration;

 

refusing to provide Certificates to Foreign Governments with respect to exports;

 

pursuing criminal prosecution.

Any of these sanctions could impair our ability to produce the MyoPro in a cost-effective and timely manner in order to meet our customers’ demands and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition. We may also be required to bear other costs or take other actions that may have a negative impact on our future sales and our ability to generate profits.

If we are found to have violated laws protecting the confidentiality of patient health information, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, which could increase our liabilities and harm our reputation or our business.

There are a number of federal, state and foreign laws protecting the confidentiality of certain patient health information, including patient records, and restricting the use and disclosure of that protected information. In particular, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, promulgated patient privacy rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA and the General Date Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) across the EU. These privacy rules protect medical records and other personal health information by limiting their use and disclosure, giving individuals the right to access, amend and seek accounting of their own health information and limiting most use and disclosures of health information to the minimum amount reasonably necessary to accomplish the intended purpose. While we have Business Associate Agreements in place with our distributors, if we or any of our service providers are found to be in violation of the promulgated patient privacy rules under HIPAA, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, which could increase our liabilities, harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We face risks in connection with the Affordable Care Act or its possible replacement or modifications.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which we collectively refer to as the ACA, were signed into U.S. law. The ACA is introducing unprecedented changes into the US healthcare delivery and payment systems, including generally increasing the number of people with health insurance. At the end of 2017, the repeal of the so-called Individual Mandate from the ACA may reduce the overall number of people with insurance. Nevertheless, it is not clear how this change, or other future potential changes to the ACA, will change the reimbursement model and market outlook for O&P devices such as the MyoPro. We intend to monitor industry trends relative to the ACA to assist in our determination of how the MyoPro can fit into patient care protocols with providers such as rehabilitation hospitals and surgery centers. If reimbursement policies change significantly, the demand for MyoPro products may be impacted.

28


Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

We depend on certain patents that are licensed to us. We do not control these patents and any loss of our rights to them could prevent us from manufacturing our products.

We rely on licenses to two core patents that are material to our business, including the development of the MyoPro. We have entered into an exclusive license agreement, which we refer to as the License Agreement, with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT, for those certain patents that cover (i) a powered orthotic device worn on a patient’s elbow or other joint, that senses relatively low level signals in the vicinity of the joint generated by a patient having spinal cord or other nerve damage and (ii) a method of providing rehabilitation movement training for a person suffering from nerve damage, stroke, spinal cord injury, neurological trauma or neuromuscular disorder in attempt to move a body part with a powered orthotic device. Our rights to use these patents will be subject to the continuation of and our compliance with the terms of those licenses.

On November 15, 2016, we entered into a waiver agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT, with regard to certain obligations, or the Obligations Waiver, under the License Agreement. The Obligations Waiver contemplates that we have not met certain revenue obligations, or the Revenue Obligations, and certain commercialization obligation, or the Commercial Obligations, which are required under the License Agreement. Pursuant to the Revenue Obligations, we were originally obligated to have net sales of at least $200,000, $250,000, $500,000 and $750,000 in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 (and each year thereafter), respectively. Pursuant to the Commercialization Obligations, we were originally obligated to introduce a home version of a “licensed product” on or before December 31, 2010, expand distribution of a licensed product to 10 major metropolitan areas on or before December 31, 2011 and expand distribution to at least one country outside of the United States on or before December 31, 2012. The Obligations Waiver waives any and all Revenue Obligations up to the date of the waiver agreement and waives the Commercialization Obligations up to and through the date of the waiver agreement. The Commercialization Obligations have expired as of the date hereof and do not need to be complied with in the future.

Our revenue exceeded $750,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, which satisfied the Revenue Obligations for that fiscal year. The Revenue Obligations are a continuing requirement of the License Agreement., while we expect to exceed the required revenue and satisfy the Revenue Obligations in future years, we cannot make any assurance that we will continue to comply with these obligations. Additionally, MIT has the right to terminate the License Agreement upon any future uncured material breach of the agreement or if we fail to make any payments due under the agreement. If the License Agreement is terminated for any reason, our business will be harmed.

Specifically, if we were to lose access to these licenses, we would be unable to manufacture the MyoPro or develop new products until we obtained access to a comparable technology.

We may not control the prosecution, maintenance or filing of the patents to which we now hold or in the future intend to acquire licenses. Enforcement of our licensed patents or defense of any claims asserting the invalidity of these patents may be subject to the control or cooperation of our licensors. We cannot be certain that our licensors will prosecute, maintain, enforce and defend the licensed patent rights in a manner consistent with the best interests of our business. We also cannot be certain that drafting or prosecution of the licensed patents and patent applications by the relevant licensors have been or will be conducted in compliance with applicable law.

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain protection for the intellectual property relating to or incorporated into our products.

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain protection for the intellectual property relating to or incorporated into our products. We seek to protect our intellectual property through a combination of patents, trademarks, confidentiality and assignment agreements with our employees and certain of our contractors and confidentiality agreements with certain of our consultants, scientific advisors and other vendors and contractors. In addition, we rely on trade secrets law to protect our proprietary software and product candidates or products in development.

The patent position of myoelectric orthotic inventions can be highly uncertain and involves many new and evolving complex legal, factual and technical issues. Patent laws and interpretations of those laws are subject to change and any such changes may diminish the value of our patents or narrow the scope of protection. In addition, we may fail to apply for or be unable to obtain patents necessary to protect our technology or products or enforce our patents due to lack of information about the exact use of technology or processes by third parties. Also, we cannot be sure that any patents will be granted in a timely manner or at all with respect to any of our patent pending applications or that any patents that are granted will be adequate to protect our intellectual property for any significant period of time or at all.

Litigation to establish or challenge the validity of patents, or to defend against or assert against others infringement, unauthorized use, enforceability or invalidity claims, can be lengthy and expensive and may result in our patents being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our not being granted new patents related to our pending patent applications. Even if we prevail, litigation may be time consuming and force us to incur significant costs, and any damages or other remedies awarded to us may not be valuable and management’s attention could be diverted from managing our business. In addition, U.S. patents and patent applications may be subject to interference proceedings, and U.S. patents may be subject to re-examination and review in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Foreign patents may also be subject to opposition or comparable proceedings in the corresponding foreign patent offices. Any of these proceedings may be expensive and could result in the loss of a patent or denial of a patent application, or the loss or reduction in the scope of one or more of the claims of a patent or patent application.

29


In addition, we seek to protect our trade secrets, know-how and confidential information that is not patentable by entering into confidentiality and assignment agreements with our employees and certain of our contractors and confidentiality agreements with certain of our consultants, scientific advisors and other vendors and contractors. However, we may fail to enter into the necessary agreements, and even if entered into, these agreements may be breached or otherwise fail to prevent disclosure, third-party infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary information, may be limited as to their term and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure or use of proprietary information. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable.

We also have taken precautions to initiate reasonable safeguards to protect our information technology systems. However, these measures may not be adequate to safeguard our proprietary information, which could lead to the loss or impairment thereof or to expensive litigation to defend our rights against competitors who may be better funded and have superior resources. In addition, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or reverse engineer certain aspects of our products that we consider proprietary or our proprietary information may otherwise become known or may be independently developed by our competitors or other third parties. If other parties are able to use our proprietary technology or information, our ability to compete in the market could be harmed.

Further, unauthorized use of our intellectual property may have occurred, or may occur in the future, without our knowledge.

If we are unable to obtain or maintain adequate protection for intellectual property, or if any protection is reduced or eliminated, competitors may be able to use our technologies, resulting in harm to our competitive position.

We are not able to protect our intellectual property rights in all countries.

Filing, prosecuting, maintaining and defending patents on each of our products in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and thus our intellectual property rights outside the United States are currently limited to the European Union and Japan. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries, especially developing countries, do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States. Also, it may not be possible to effectively enforce intellectual property rights in some countries at all or to the same extent as in the United States and other countries. Consequently, we are unable to prevent third parties from using our inventions in all countries, or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in the jurisdictions in which we do not have (or are unable to effectively enforce) patent protection. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop, market or otherwise commercialize their own products, and we may be unable to prevent those competitors from importing those infringing products into territories where we have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as in the United States. These products may compete with our products and our patents and other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing in those jurisdictions. Moreover, competitors or others in the chain of commerce may raise legal challenges against our intellectual property rights or may infringe upon our intellectual property rights, including through means that may be difficult to prevent or detect.

Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in the United States or foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing, and could provoke third parties to assert patent infringement or other claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights in the United States and around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop or license from third parties.

We may be subject to patent infringement claims, which could result in substantial costs and liability and prevent us from commercializing our current and future products.

The medical device industry is characterized by competing intellectual property and a substantial amount of litigation over patent rights. In particular, our competitors in both the United States and abroad, many of which have substantially greater resources and have made substantial investments in competing technologies, have been issued patents and filed patent applications with respect to their products and processes and may apply for other patents in the future. The large number of patents, the rapid rate of new patent issuances, and the complexities of the technology involved increase the risk of patent litigation.

Determining whether a product infringes a patent involves complex legal and factual issues and the outcome of patent litigation is often uncertain. Even though we have conducted research of issued patents, no assurance can be given that patents containing claims covering our products, technology or methods do not exist, have not been filed or could not be filed or issued. In addition, because patent applications can take years to issue and because publication schedules for pending applications vary by jurisdiction, there may be applications now pending of which we are unaware and may result in issued patents which our current or future products infringe. Also, because the claims of published patent applications can change between publication and patent grant, published applications may issue with claims that potentially cover our products, technology or methods.

30


Infringement actions and other intellectual property claims brought against us, with or without merit, may cause us to incur substantial costs and could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of management and harm our reputation. We cannot be certain that we will successfully defend against any allegations of infringement. If we are found to infringe another party’s patents, we could be required to pay damages. We could also be prevented from selling our products that infringe, unless we could obtain a license to use the technology covered by such patents or could redesign our products so that they do not infringe. A license may be available on commercially reasonable terms or none at all, and we may not be able to redesign our products to avoid infringement. Further, any modification to our products could require us to conduct clinical trials and revise our filings with the FDA and other regulatory bodies, which would be time consuming and expensive. In these circumstances, we may not be able to sell our products at competitive prices or at all, and our business and operating results could be harmed.

We rely on trademark protection to distinguish our products from the products of our competitors.

We rely on trademark protection to distinguish our products from the products of our competitors. We have registered the trademarks “MyoPro” (Registration No. 4,532,331) and “MYOMO” (Registration No. 4,451,445) in the United States. The MyoPro mark is registered in Canada and in the select EU with pending registration. In jurisdictions where we have not yet registered our trademark and are using it, and as permitted by applicable local law, we seek to rely on common law trademark protection where available. Third parties may oppose our trademark applications, or otherwise challenge our use of the trademarks, and may be able to use our trademarks in jurisdictions where they are not registered or otherwise protected by law. If our trademarks are successfully challenged or if a third party is using confusingly similar or identical trademarks in particular jurisdictions before we do, we could be forced to rebrand our products, which could result in loss of brand recognition, and could require us to devote additional resources to marketing new brands. If others are able to use our trademarks, our ability to distinguish our products may be impaired, which could adversely affect our business. Further, we cannot assure you that competitors will not infringe upon our trademarks, or that we will have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks.

We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that our employees or we have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.

Some of our employees were previously employed at other medical device companies, including our competitors or potential competitors, and we may hire employees in the future that are so employed. We could in the future be subject to claims that these employees, or we, have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers. If we fail in defending against such claims, a court could order us to pay substantial damages and prohibit us from using technologies or features that are found to incorporate or be derived from the trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers. If any of these technologies or features that are important to our products, this could prevent us from selling those products and could have a material adverse effect on our business. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, such litigation could result in substantial costs and divert the attention of management.

Risks Related to Our Securities

Our stockholders will experience significant dilution if the shares of our common stock underlying our warrants are exercised or converted.

We have a significant number of securities convertible into, or allowing the purchase of, our common stock. Investors could be subject to increased dilution upon the conversion or exercise of these securities. For example, as of June 30, 2018, we had 5,071,887 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, with a weighted-average exercise price of $4.05 per share, and 594,861 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options under our equity incentive plans, with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.53 per share. In addition, we have outstanding 65,803 shares of restricted stock, with an average per share fair value of $6.75 when granted in August 2017, with lapsing forfeiture rights extending up to 48 months. Included in the 5,071,387 of warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2018, are warrants to purchase 3,560,894 shares of our common stock that were issued in our December 2017 follow-on public offering and remain outstanding as of June 30, 2018. These common stock warrants have an exercise price of $2.95 per share and such exercise price is adjustable if we effect a stock split or combination or similar transaction, depending on the relative trading prices before and after the combination. Such common stock warrants also have anti-dilution protection in the event that we issue equity securities in the future below the then-exercise price of such warrants. The issuance of additional shares as a result of such conversion or purchase, or their subsequent sale, could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

There is no public market for our warrants to purchase common stock.

There is no established public trading market for our warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of the warrants on any securities exchange. Without an active market, the liquidity of such warrants will be limited.

Holders of our warrants have no rights as a common stockholder until such holders exercise their warrants and acquire our common stock.

Until holders of warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of the warrants, holders of warrants will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such warrants. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holders thereof will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

31


Our principal stockholders and management beneficially own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant influence over matters subject to stockholder approval.

As of June 30, 2018, our executive officers, directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates beneficially owned approximately 21.1% of our outstanding voting stock. Therefore, these stockholders will have the ability to influence us through this ownership position. These stockholders may be able to significantly affect matters requiring stockholder approval, including elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transaction. This may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our common stock that you may believe are in your best interest as one of our stockholders.

The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile.

The stock market in general, and the market price of our common stock in particular will likely be subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or irrespective of, our operating results, financial condition and prospects. For example, from June 9, 2017 to August 1, 2018, the high and low sales price of our common stock on the NYSE American has fluctuated from a low of $2.07 to a high of $23.20 per share.

Our financial performance, our industry’s overall performance, changing consumer preferences, technologies, government regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common stock. Some of the other factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in our share price include:

 

actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;

 

increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our common stock to demand a higher investment return;

 

changes in earnings estimates;

 

changes in market valuations of similar companies;

 

actions or announcements by our competitors;

 

adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;

 

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

actions by stockholders;

 

speculation in the media, online forums, or investment community; and

 

our intentions and ability to maintain our common stock on the NYSE American.

We may not be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on the NYSE American.

We must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we fail to meet any of the NYSE American’s listing standards, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from the NYSE American may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. A delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital.

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will invest future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our common stock will not receive any return on their investment unless they sell their securities, and holders may be unable to sell their securities on favorable terms or at all.

We have elected to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to :

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) in 2022, (b) the date on which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

32


Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may under certain circumstances still qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this provision of the JOBS Act.

We are obligated to develop and maintain a system of effective internal control over financial reporting. We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may harm investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

We will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the second annual report we file with the SEC. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. However, our auditors will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act if we take advantage of the exemptions available to us through the JOBS Act.

We are in the very early stages of the costly and challenging process of compiling the system and process documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. As we transition to the requirements of reporting as a public company, we may need to add additional finance staff. We may not be able to remediate any future material weaknesses, or to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our auditors are unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls when they are required to issue such opinion, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could harm our stock price.

The preparation of our financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our financial statements may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate.

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. Significant areas of accounting requiring the application of management’s judgment include, but are not limited to, determining the fair value of assets and the timing and amount of cash flows from assets. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements and our business.

If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected.

Any trading market for our common stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not have any control over these analysts. We currently have limited research coverage by securities industry analysts and we may be unable to maintain analyst coverage or have analysts initiate coverage on us. If securities industry analysts cease coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected.

33


We are incurring increased costs as a public company and our management team is required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.

As a public company, and particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the NYSE American and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to compliance with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

Future issuances of our common stock or equity-related securities could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and would result in the dilution of your holdings.

Future issuances of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock on the price of our common stock. In all events, future issuances of our common stock would result in the dilution of your holdings. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our common stock, or other securities convertible into our common stock, could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which could rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect our common stock price.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our common stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred securities in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our common stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return they may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.

If our shares of common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not retain a listing on the NYSE American or another national securities exchange and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or changes in our management. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that:

 

authorize our board of directors to issue preferred stock, without further stockholder action and with voting liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock;

 

establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting, including proposed nominations of persons for director nominees;

 

establish that our board of directors is divided into three classes, with directors in each class serving three-year staggered terms;

 

require the approval of holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws or amend or repeal the provisions of our certificate of incorporation regarding the election and removal of directors and the ability of stockholders to take action by written consent or call a special meeting;

34


 

prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors; and

 

provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by the vote of a majority of directors then in office, even though less than a quorum or by the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any “interested” stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an “interested” stockholder. Any of the foregoing provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, and they could deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you would receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of the 21st day of June, 2018, between Myomo, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Micah Mitchell (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company beginning on July 9, 2018 (the “Commencement Date”) on the terms contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.Employment.

(a)Term. The Company hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment, for an initial term commencing as of the Commencement Date and continuing for a two-year period (the “Initial Term”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3; with such employment to automatically continue following the Initial Term for an additional one-year period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (subject to termination as aforesaid) unless either party notifies the other party in writing of its intention not to renew this Agreement at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term (the Initial Term, together with any such extension of employment hereunder, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Term”).

(b)Position and Duties. During the Term, the Executive shall serve as the Chief Commercial Officer of the Company, and shall have supervision and control over and responsibility for the day-to-day business and affairs of the Company and shall have such other powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "CEO") or other authorized executive, provided that such duties are consistent with the Executive's position or other positions that he may hold from time to time. The Executive shall devote his full working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may serve on other boards of directors, with the approval of the Board, or engage in religious, charitable or other community activities as long as such services and activities are disclosed to the Board and do not materially interfere with the Executive's performance of his duties to the Company as provided in this Agreement.

2.Compensation and Related Matters.

(a)Base Salary. During the Term, the Executive’s initial annual base salary shall be $180,000. The Executive’s base salary shall be redetermined annually by the Compensation Committee. The base salary in effect at any given time is referred to herein as “Base Salary.” The Base Salary shall be payable in a manner that is consistent with the Company's usual payroll practices for senior executives.

(b)Incentive Compensation. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive cash incentive compensation as determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time. The Executives target annual incentive compensation shall be $120,000. To earn incentive compensation, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the day such incentive compensation is paid.

(c)Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by him during the Term in performing services hereunder, in accordance with the policies and procedures then in effect and established by the Company for its senior executive officers.

(d)Other Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in or receive benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans in effect from time to time, subject to the terms of such plans.

(e)Vacations. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to accrue up to fifteen (15) paid vacation days in each year, which shall be accrued ratably. The Executive shall also be entitled to all paid holidays given by the Company to its executives.

3.Termination. During the Term, the Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances:

(a)Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

(b)Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment if he is disabled and unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12-month period. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, the Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the Executive. Nothing in this Section 3(b) shall be construed to waive the Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.

(c)Termination by Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executives employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, Cause shall mean: (i) conduct by the Executive constituting a material act of misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties, including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates other than the occasional, customary and de minimis use of Company property for personal purposes; (ii) the commission by the Executive of any felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud, or any conduct by the Executive that would reasonably be expected to result in material injury or reputational harm to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates if he were retained in his position; (iii) continued non-performance by the Executive of his duties hereunder (other than by reason of the Executives physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability) which has continued for more than 30 days following written notice of such non-performance from the CEO; (iv) a breach by the Executive of any of the provisions containd in Section 7 of this Agreement; (v) a material violation by the Executive of the Companys written employment policies; or (vi) failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Company to cooperate, or the willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such investigation.

(d)Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 3(c) and does not result from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 3(a) or (b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

(e)Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time for any reason, including but not limited to Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a material diminution in the Executive’s responsibilities, authority or duties; (ii) a material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary except for across-the-board salary reductions based on the Company’s financial performance similarly affecting all or substantially all senior management employees of the Company; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the Executive provides services to the Company; or (iv) the material breach of this Agreement by the Company. “Good Reason Process” shall mean that (i) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (ii) the Executive notifies the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition; (iii) the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist; and (v) the Executive terminates his employment within 60 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

ACTIVE/20613323.14


 

(f)Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in Section 3(a), any termination of the Executives employment by the Company or any such termination by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a Notice of Termination shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.

(g)Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 3(b) or by the Company for Cause under Section 3(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company under Section 3(d), the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 3(e) without Good Reason, 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, and (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 3(e) with Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

4.Compensation Upon Termination.

(a)Termination Generally. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate) (i) any Base Salary earned through the Date of Termination, unpaid expense reimbursements (subject to, and in accordance with, Section 2(c) of this Agreement) and unused vacation that accrued through the Date of Termination on or before the time required by law but in no event more than 30 days after the Executive’s Date of Termination; and (ii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company through the Date of Termination, which vested benefits shall be paid and/or provided in accordance with the terms of such employee benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Benefit”).

(b)Termination by the Company Without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason. During the Term, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d), or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 3(e), then the Company shall pay the Executive his Accrued Benefit. In addition, subject to the Executive signing a separation agreement containing, among other provisions, a general release of claims in favor of the Company and related persons and entities, confidentiality, return of property and non-disparagement, in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company (the “Separation Agreement and Release”) and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all within 60 days after the Date of Termination:

(i)the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to six months of (A) the Executive’s Base Salary plus (B) the Executive’s Target Annual Incentive Compensation for the current fiscal year. In no event shall “Target Annual Incentive Compensation” include any sign-on bonus, retention bonus or any other special bonus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive breaches any of the provisions contained in Section 7 of this Agreement, all payments of the Severance Amount shall immediately cease; and

4

ACTIVE/20613323.14


 

(ii)upon the Date of Termination, all stock options and other stock-based awards held by the Executive in which the Executive would have vested if he had remained employed for an additional six months following the Date of Termination shall vest and become exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the Date of Termination; and

(iii)if the Executive was participating in the Company’s group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination and elects COBRA health continuation, then the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly cash payment for six months or the Executive’s COBRA health continuation period, whichever ends earlier, in an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company; and

(iv)the amounts payable under this Section 4(b) shall be paid out in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practice over six months commencing within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the Severance Amount shall begin to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period; provided, further, that the initial payment shall include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the Date of Termination. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

(c)Expiration/Non-Renewal of the Agreement by the Company and Continued At-Will Employment. For the avoidance of doubt, a non-renewal of this Agreement by the Company (in accordance with Section 1(a) above) will not constitute a termination of employment by the Company without Cause and the Executive acknowledges that the severance provisions of Section 4(b) will not apply. Should the parties decide not to renew this Agreement but to continue to work together in an employment relationship, Executive’s employment shall continue on an at-will basis pursuant to the terms and conditions then in effect, unless otherwise modified in writing. Executive shall likewise remain obligated to abide by the confidentiality and restrictive covenant provisions specified in paragraph 7 which, along with this provision, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

5.Change in Control Payment. The provisions of this Section 5 set forth certain terms of an agreement reached between the Executive and the Company regarding the Executive’s rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company. These provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance the Executive’s continued attention and dedication to his assigned duties and his objectivity during the pendency and after the occurrence of any such event. These provisions shall apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding severance pay and benefits upon a termination of employment, if such termination of employment occurs within 12 months after the occurrence of the first event constituting a Change in Control. These provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect beginning 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control.

5

ACTIVE/20613323.14


 

(a)Change in Control. During the Term, if within 12 months after a Change in Control, the Executives employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d) or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 3(e), then, subject to the signing of the Separation Agreement and Release by the Executive and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all within 60 days after the Date of Termination,

(i)the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to 75% times the sum of (A) the Executive’s current Base Salary (or the Executive’s Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, if higher) plus (B) the Executive’s Annual Target Incentive Compensation; and

(ii)notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable option agreement or stock-based award agreement, all stock options and other stock-based awards held by the Executive shall immediately accelerate and become fully exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the Date of Termination; and

(iii)if the Executive was participating in the Company’s group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination and elects COBRA health continuation, then the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly cash payment for 6 months or the Executive’s COBRA health continuation period, whichever ends earlier, in an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company; and

(iv)The amounts payable under this Section 5(a) shall be paid or commence to be paid within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payment shall be paid or commence to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period.

(b)Additional Limitation.

(i)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder (the “Aggregate Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the sum of all of the Aggregate Payments shall be $1.00 less than the amount at which the Executive becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided that such reduction shall only occur if it would result in the Executive receiving a higher After Tax Amount (as defined below) than the Executive would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction. In such event, the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced in the following order, in each case, in reverse chronological order beginning with the Aggregate Payments that are to be paid the furthest in time from consummation of the transaction that is subject to Section 280G of the Code: (l) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits; provided that in the case of all the foregoing Aggregate Payments all amounts or

6

ACTIVE/20613323.14


 

payments that are not subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) shall be reduced before any amounts that are subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c).

(ii)For purposes of this Section 5(b), the “After Tax Amount” means the amount of the Aggregate Payments less all federal, state, and local income, excise and employment taxes imposed on the Executive as a result of the Executive’s receipt of the Aggregate Payments. For purposes of determining the After Tax Amount, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in each applicable state and locality, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

(iii)The determination as to whether a reduction in the Aggregate Payments shall be made pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.

(c)Definitions. For purposes of this Section 5, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Change .in Control” shall mean any of the following:

(i)any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), together with all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act) of such person, shall become the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Board (“Voting Securities”) (in such case other than as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company); or

(ii)the date a majority of the members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election; or

(iii)the consummation of (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company where the stockholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule l3d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate more than 50 percent of the voting shares of the Company issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any), or (B) any sale or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

7

ACTIVE/20613323.14


 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, aChange in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate number of Voting Securities beneficially owned by any person to 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any person referred to in this sentence shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction or as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company) and immediately thereafter beneficially owns 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i).

6.Section 409A.

(a)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the 20 percent additiona1 tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death.  If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.

(b)All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable1 but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(c)To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

8

ACTIVE/20613323.14


 

(d)The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.

(e)The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

7.Confidential Information, Noncompetition and Cooperation.

(a)Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information belonging to the Company which is of value to the Company in the course of conducting its business and the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Company. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, financial .information, reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; trade secrets; know-how; designs, processes or formulae; software; market or sales information or plans; customer lists; and business plans, prospects and opportunities (such as possible acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or facilities) which have been discussed or considered by the management of the Company. Confidential Information includes information developed by the Executive in the course of the Executive's employment by the Company, as well as other information to which the Executive may have access in connection with the Executive's employment. Confidential Information also includes the confidential information of others with which the Company has a business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information in the public domain, unless due to breach of the Executive’s duties under Section 7(b).

(b)Confidentiality. The Executive understands and agrees that the Executive’s employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the Executive and the Company with respect to all Confidential Information. At all times, both during the Executive's employment with the Company and after its termination the Executive will keep in confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the Company, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing the Executive’s duties to the Company. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or applied to prohibit the Executive from making any good faith report to any governmental agency or other governmental entity concerning any act or omission that the Executive reasonably believes constitutes a possible violation of federal or state law or making other disclosures that are protected under the anti-retaliation or whistleblower provisions of applicable federal or state law or regulation. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret

9

ACTIVE/20613323.14


 

law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

(c)Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information; which are furnished to the Executive by the Company or are produced by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment will be and remain the sole property of the Company. The Executive will return to the Company all such materials and property as and when requested by the Company. In any event, the Executive will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive will not retain with the Executive any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination.

(d)Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. During the Executive’s employment with the Company and for 18 months thereafter, regardless of the reason for the termination, the Executive (i) will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage, participate, assist or invest in any Competing Business (as hereinafter defined); (ii) will refrain from directly or indirectly employing, attempting to employ, recruiting or otherwise soliciting, inducing or influencing any person to leave employment with the Company (other than terminations of employment of subordinate employees undertaken in the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company); and (iii) will refrain from soliciting or encouraging any customer or supplier to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the Company. The Executive understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(d) are intended to protect the Company’s interest in its Confidential Information and established employee, customer and supplier relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competing Business” shall mean a business conducted anywhere in geographic regions where the Company’s products/services are offered, which is competitive with any business which the Company or any of its affiliates conducts or propose to conduct at any time during the employment of the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may own up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly held corporation which constitutes or is affiliated with a Competing Business.

10

ACTIVE/20613323.14


 

(e)Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executives use or disclosure of information or the Executives engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Company that the Executives execution of this Agreement, the Executives employment with the Company and the performance of the Executives proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executives work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other tangible embodiments of non­public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.

(f)Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or Which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Executive’s full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 7(f).

(g)Injunction. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from any breach by the Executive of the promises set forth in this Section 7, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, subject to Section 8 of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company.

8.Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of the Executive’s employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. In the event that any person or entity other than the Executive or the Company may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entity’s agreement.

11
