Business

Overview

enVVeno Medical Corporation is a ~~late clinical-stage~~ medical device company focused on the advancement of innovative bioprosthetic (tissue-based) solutions to improve the standard of care for the treatment of venous disease. Chronic Venous Disease (“CVD”) is the world’s most ~~prevalent~~ prevalent chronic disease, impacting approximately 70% of the adult population of the U.S. Chronic Venous Insufficiency (“CVI”), is a large subset of CVD, which most often occurs when valves inside of the veins of the leg become damaged, resulting in the backwards flow of blood (reflux), blood pooling in the lower leg, increased pressure in the veins of the leg (venous hypertension) and in severe cases, venous ulcers that are difficult to heal. The Company is developing ~~surgical~~a ~~and non-surgical~~ replacement venous ~~valves~~valve for patients suffering from severe CVI of the deep venous system of the leg.

The Company’s ~~lead~~first ~~product~~developed is the VenoValve®, which iswas a first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve ~~that~~(the isCompany ~~currently~~received ~~being~~a not-approvable ~~evaluated~~letter from the FDA in aresponse ~~U.S.~~to ~~pivotal~~its ~~study~~PMA application for the VenoValve in August 2025). The Company is ~~also~~now ~~developing~~focused aon ~~second~~its next-generation, non-surgical venous valve product, called the enVVe® System. The enVVe System consists of the enVVe Valve, ~~which~~enVVe Delivery System, enVVe Nose Cone, the enVVe Delivery System Accessories, and the enVVe Crimping System. The enVVe Valve is a first-in-class, non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve. ~~The~~being ~~Company~~developed isfor ~~currently~~the ~~conducting~~treatment ~~pre-clinical~~of ~~testing~~severe ~~on enVVe~~CVI. ~~Both~~The ~~the VenoValve and~~ enVVe ~~are~~Valve is designed to act as a one-way ~~valves~~valve, to help assist in propelling blood up the veins of the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. The Company has completed pre-clinical testing on the enVVe System and has begun discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regarding the enVVe pivotal trial.

~~The~~enVVe ~~VenoValve~~is ~~and enVVe are~~ being developed ~~first~~ for approval by the ~~U.S. Food and Drug Administration (~~FDA). We expect the VenoValve to be eligible for FDA approval first, followed approximately three years later by enVVe. If approved, we expect the VenoValve and enVVe to co-exist, with the VenoValve as a surgical replacement venous valve option and enVVe as a non-surgical replacement venous valve option, although we cannot provide any assurance that ~~either the VenoValve or~~ enVVe will receive approval from the FDA (see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). There are currently no devices approved as surgical or non-surgical replacement venous valves, and there are currently no effective treatments for deep venous CVI caused by incompetent valves.

~~Our team of officers and directors has been affiliated with numerous medical devices that have received FDA approval or CE marking and that have been commercially successful.~~ We develop and manufacture our products in ~~connection with our clinical trials in~~ a 14,507 sq. ft. leased manufacturing facility in Irvine, California, which has been ISO 13485-2016 certified for the design, development and manufacturing of tissue based implantable medical devices.

CVI Background

Chronic venous disease (“CVD”) is the world’s most prevalent chronic disease. CVD is clinically classified using a standardized system known as CEAP (clinical, etiological, anatomical, and pathophysiological). The CEAP system consists of seven clinical classifications (C0 to C6) with C4, C5 and C6 being the most severe categories of CVD.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (“CVI”) is a large subset of CVD and is generally used to describe patients with C4 to C6 CVD. CVI is a debilitating condition that affects the venous system of the leg causing pain, swelling, edema, skin changes, and ulcerations.

The human leg contains three vein systems: the deep vein system, the superficial vein system, and the perforator vein system which connects the deep system to the superficial system. The deep venous system is located below the muscle and facia in the center portion of the leg and is responsible for approximately 90% of the blood flow. In order for blood to return to the heart from the foot, ankle, and lower leg, the calf muscle serves as a pump and pushes the blood up the veins of the leg against gravity and through a series of one-way valves. Each valve is supposed to open as blood passes through, and then close as blood progresses up the veins of the leg to the next valve. CVI occurs when the one-way valves in the veins of the leg fail and become incompetent. When the valves fail, gravity causes the blood to flow backwards and in the wrong direction (reflux). As blood pools in the lower leg, pressure inside the veins increases (venous hypertension). Reflux, and the resulting venous hypertension, causes the leg to swell, resulting in debilitating pain, and in the most severe cases, venous ulcers.

Severe CVI sufferers experience a significantly reduced quality of life. Daily activities such as preparing meals, housework, and personal hygiene (washing and bathing) become difficult due to reduced mobility. For many severe CVI sufferers, intense pain, which frequently occurs at night, prevents them from getting adequate sleep. Severe CVI sufferers are known to miss approximately 40% more workdays than the average worker. A high percentage of venous ulcer patients also experience severe itching, leg swelling, and an odorous discharge. Wound dressing changes, which occur several times a week, can be extremely painful. Venous ulcers from deep venous CVI are very difficult to heal, and a significant percentage of venous ulcers remain unhealed for more than a year. Even if healed, recurrence rates for venous ulcers are known to be high (20% to 40%) within the first year and as high as 60% after five years. Patients with severe CVI often become housebound and experience social isolation due to difficulty with ambulation. As a result, studies have shown that patients with active venous ulcers experience higher rates of anxiety and depression, with reported rates of anxiety of up to 30% and depression up to 40%. Rates of depression caused by venous ulcers among the elderly are even higher, with 48% of elderly venous ulcer patients having severe depressive symptoms.

~~Prevalence~~We isestimate ~~generally defined as the portion of the population~~ that ~~has~~there aare ~~given condition. Estimates indicate that the prevalence of people in the U.S. with severe, deep venous CVI (C4 to C6 disease) with reflux to be~~ approximately ~~20 million. Incidence is generally defined as the number of new cases of an ailment that develop in a given time period. We estimate that approximately~~ 3.5 million ~~new~~ patients with severe deep venous CVI ~~are diagnosed each year~~ in the U.S. including approximately 1.5 million patients that develop venous leg ulcers (C6 patients). The average patient seeking treatment of a venous ulcer spends as much as $30,000 a year on wound care, and the total direct medical costs from venous ulcer sufferers in the U.S. has been estimated to exceed $320 billion a year.

3enVVe System

The enVVe System is designed to treat severe deep chronic venous insufficiency (“CVI”) through a minimally invasive, catheter-based approach. The procedure is performed without the need for open surgery or an overnight hospital stay. Built on the clinical foundation of the VenoValve program, the enVVe Valve incorporates design enhancements intended to improve performance, strength and long-term durability. The enVVe System directly addresses prior FDA concerns related to venous valves implanted via open surgical procedures. In addition to eliminating open surgical complications, its transcatheter approach is expected to broaden adoption by appealing to a wider range of implanting physicians including vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and interventional cardiologists.

The Company has completed pre-clinical testing on the enVVe System and has begun discussions with the FDA regarding the enVVe pivotal trial, which it expects to begin in 2026.

Most medical devices start out as surgical iterations and transition to less invasive, trans-catheter delivered versions over time. The Company’s strategy was to first develop the VenoValve, and then to transition to enVVe. That strategy remains intact. The enVVe System could not ~~Clinical~~have ~~Status~~been developed without the experience gained from the VenoValve. Because the VenoValve was not approved by the FDA, the Company has elected to forego any potential approval and commercialization efforts outside of the U.S. for the VenoValve and to instead focus its resources on bringing enVVe to market.

Efficacy endpoints for the SAVVE pivotal study include rVCSS scores, which are used to provide evidence of clinically meaningful benefit, as well as reflux time measurements, VAS pain scores, quality of life measurements, ulcer healing (for CEAP class C6 patients), and intra-operative and one-year vein patency and valve functionality. Safety endpoints include device related events and procedure related events including mortality, pulmonary embolism, ipsilateral deep vein thrombosis, infection and bleeding.

In November 2024, one year preliminary efficacy and safety data from the SAVVE was presented at the 51th Annual VEITH Symposium, the largest vascular conference in the world. The data indicated that eighty-five percent (85%) of the patients enrolled in SAVVE experienced a clinical meaningful benefit from the VenoValve, defined as a three (3) or more point improvement in revised Venous Clinical Severity Score (rVCSS), at one year, compared to baseline. The average rVCSS improvement in the clinically meaningful responder cohort was 7.91 points. Patients in the SAVVE study also experienced a seventy-five percent (75%) median reduction in pain and improvements in quality-of-life indicators. For patients with venous ulcers (CEAP C6 patients), ulcer area was reduced a median average of eighty-seven percent (87%). Over the course of the one (1) year period, there was one (1) death (unrelated to the VenoValve), zero (0) pulmonary embolisms, twelve (12) target vein thromboses, ten (10) surgical pocket hematomas, four (4) other bleeds, and seven (7) deep wound infections. Ninety four percent (94%) of the patients that experienced a material safety event also went on to experience a clinically meaningful benefit from the VenoValve. Also, the reported target vein patency rates at thirty (30) days and one (1) year were ninety one percent (91%) and ninety seven percent (97%), respectively.

On November 19, 2024, the Company submitted the final module of its PMA application for review by the FDA. The VenoValve is designated as a breakthrough product and, as a result, its PMA application is subject to priority review. This may serve to shorten the PMA review process. Regardless, it is difficult to predict precisely how long the PMA process will take, and the Company’s best estimate is to expect an FDA decision during the second half of 2025.

enVVe

On September 21, 2022, we announced the development of a non-surgical transcatheter based replacement venous valve called enVVe®, for the treatment of CVI of the deep veins of the leg. Initial preliminary bench testing and pre-clinical testing for enVVe have been successfully completed.

On December 16, 2024, we announced the successful completion of the final wave of implants for the six-month pre-clinical GLP study for enVVe. The first wave of implants, for the long-term subjects, was successfully completed in October, and the final wave for the shorter-term subjects was completed in December. The GLP study is a prerequisite to seeking IDE approval from the FDA to begin the enVVe U.S. pivotal study. The Company expects to file for IDE approval for the enVVe pivotal study in mid-2025.

Government Regulation

Our product candidates and our operations are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA, and other federal and state authorities in the United States, as well as comparable authorities in foreign jurisdictions. Our product candidates are subject to regulation as medical devices in the United States under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), as implemented and enforced by the FDA. The FDA regulates the development, design, non-clinical and clinical research, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, packaging, storage, installation, distribution, servicing, recordkeeping, premarket clearance or approval, adverse event reporting, advertising, promotion, marketing, and import and export of medical devices to ensure that medical devices distributed domestically are safe and effective for their intended uses and otherwise meet the requirements of the FDCA.

PMA Approval Pathway

Class III devices such as ~~the VenoValve and~~ enVVe generally require pre-market approval (“PMA”) before they can be marketed in the U.S. The PMA review and approval process is more demanding than the 510(k) premarket notification process. InThe a PMA, ~~the~~application ~~manufacturer~~consists ~~must demonstrate~~of ~~that~~multiple ~~the~~parts, sometimes ~~device~~referred isto ~~safe~~as ~~and~~“modules”. ~~effective,~~Modules ~~and~~typically ~~the~~include ~~PMA~~testing ~~must~~such beas ~~supported by extensive data~~sterilization, ~~including~~packaging ~~data~~and ~~from~~shelf-life ~~preclinical~~testing, ~~studies~~biocompatibility, manufacturing, and ~~human~~ clinical ~~trials~~data. ~~The~~All ~~PMA~~modules ~~also~~are ~~must~~reviewed ~~contain~~by athe ~~full~~FDA ~~description~~to ofensure that the device is safe and ~~its~~effective. In ~~components~~certain instances, athe ~~full~~sponsor ~~description of~~may ~~the~~elect ~~methods~~a modular PMA, ~~facilities~~where ~~and~~certain ~~controls~~sections ~~used~~are submitted for ~~manufacturing,~~approval ~~and~~by ~~proposed~~the ~~labeling~~FDA in advance of the clinical data. . Following receipt of a PMA, the FDA determines whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If the FDA accepts the application for review, it has 180 days under the FDCA to complete its review of a PMA~~, although in practice, the FDA’s review often takes significantly longer, and can take several years~~. With the recent reduction in workforce that has taken place within the federal government, including at the FDA, we may experience longer review periods from the FDA for any applicable regulatory approvals. An advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA may be convened to review and evaluate the application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to the approvability of the device. The FDA may or may not accept the panel’s recommendation. In addition, the FDA generally will conduct a pre-approval inspection of the applicant or its third-party manufacturers’ manufacturing facility or facilities to ensure compliance with the QSR. The FDA will generally approve the new device for commercial distribution if it determines that the data and information in the PMA constitute valid scientific evidence and that there is reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended use(s).

The FDA may approve a PMA with post-approval conditions intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device, including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale and distribution, and collection of long-term follow-up data from patients in the clinical study that supported PMA approval, or requirements to conduct additional clinical studies post-approval. The FDA may condition PMA approval on some form of post-market surveillance when deemed necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and efficacy data for the device in a larger population or for a longer period of use. In such cases, the manufacturer might be required to follow certain patient groups for a number of years and to make periodic reports to the FDA on the clinical status of those patients. Failure to comply with the conditions of approval can result in material adverse enforcement action, including withdrawal of the PMA approval. Certain changes to an approved device, such as changes in manufacturing facilities, methods or quality control procedures, or changes in the design performance specifications, which affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, require submission of a PMA supplement. PMA supplements often require submission of the same type of information as a PMA, except that the supplement is limited to information needed to support any changes from the device covered by the original PMA and may not require as much clinical data or the convening of an advisory panel. Certain other changes to an approved device require the submission of a new PMA, such as when the design change causes a different intended use, mode of operation and technical basis of operation, or when the design change is so significant that a new generation of the device will be developed, and the data that were submitted with the original PMA are not applicable for the change in demonstrating a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. ~~Both~~The ~~the VenoValve and~~ enVVe System will require ~~the~~PMA approval ofbefore ait ~~PMA~~can be market and sold in the U.S.

Clinical Trials in Support of PMA

Clinical trials are almost always required to support a PMA submission. All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the IDE regulations, which govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of the investigational device and specify an array of recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators. If the device presents a “significant risk,” to human health, as defined by the FDA, the FDA requires the device sponsor to submit an IDE application to the FDA, which must become effective prior to commencing human clinical trials. A ~~significant~~Class ~~risk~~III ~~device~~medical device is one that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety or welfare of a patient and either is implanted, used in supporting or sustaining human life, substantially important in diagnosing, curing, mitigating or treating disease or otherwise preventing impairment of human health, or otherwise presents a potential for serious risk to a subject. The ~~VenoValve required IDE applications prior to human testing in the United States, and we believe any future products such as the~~ enVVe System will ~~also~~ require IDE ~~applications~~approval before human testing in the United States.

An IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory test results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is scientifically sound. The IDE will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA notifies the company that the investigation may not begin. If the FDA determines that there are deficiencies or other concerns with an IDE for which it requires modification, the FDA may permit a clinical trial to proceed under a conditional approval.

In addition to IDE approval, a human study must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an Institutional Review Board, or IRB, for each clinical site. The IRB is responsible for the initial and continuing review of the study, and may pose additional requirements for the conduct of the study. If an IDE application is approved by the FDA and one or more IRBs, human clinical trials may begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a specific number of patients, as approved by the FDA. Acceptance of an IDE application for review does not guarantee that the FDA will allow the IDE to become effective and, if it does become effective, the FDA may or may not determine that the data derived from the trials support the safety and effectiveness of the device or warrant the continuation of clinical trials. An IDE supplement must be submitted to, and approved by, the FDA before a sponsor or investigator may make a change to the investigational plan that may affect its scientific soundness, study plan or the rights, safety or welfare of human subjects. During a study, the sponsor is required to comply with the applicable FDA requirements, including, for example, trial monitoring, selecting clinical investigators and providing them with the investigational plan, ensuring IRB review, adverse event reporting, record keeping and prohibitions on the promotion of investigational devices or on making safety or effectiveness claims for them. The clinical investigators in the clinical study are also subject to FDA’s regulations and must obtain patient informed consent, rigorously follow the investigational plan and study protocol, control the disposition of the investigational device and comply with all reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Additionally, after a trial begins, we, the FDA or the IRB could suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to study subjects outweigh the anticipated benefits.

Post-market Regulation

After a device is cleared or approved for marketing, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include: establishing registration and device listing with the FDA; QSR requirements, which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the design and manufacturing process; labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of investigational products, or “off-label” uses of cleared or approved products; requirements related to promotional activities; clearance or approval of product modifications that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness or that would constitute a major change in intended use of one of our cleared devices; medical device reporting regulations, which require that a manufacturer report to the FDA if a device it markets may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or has malfunctioned and the device or a similar device that it markets would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, if the malfunction were to recur; correction, removal and recall reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA; and post-market surveillance activities and regulations.

Regulation Outside of the U.S.

Each country or territory outside of the U.S. has its own rules and regulations with respect to the manufacture, marketing and sale of medical devices, including, but not limited to the European Medicines Agency in the European Union. For example, in December of 2018, we received regulatory approval from Instituto Nacional de Vigilancia de Medicamentos y Alimentos, the Colombian equivalent of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, for our first-in-human study for the VenoValve in Colombia. At this time, other than the first-in-human trial in Colombia, we have not determined which countries outside of the U.S., if any, we will seek approval for our product candidates.

● We have incurred significant losses since our inception, expect to incur significant losses in the future and may never achieve or sustain profitability; ● Our estimates of our expenses, ongoing losses, future revenue, capital requirements and our needs for, or ability to obtain, additional financing; ● We depend entirely on the successful and timely regulatory approval and commercialization of our current, and any future, product candidates which, similar to the VenoValve, may not receive regulatory approval or, if our current or future product candidates do receive regulatory approval, we may not be able to successfully commercialize them; ● The success of our current or future products, if approved, will be determined based on whether surgeons and patients in our target markets accept them; ● Failure to scale up the manufacturing process of our current or future product candidates in a timely manner, or at all; ● Our ability to retain and recruit key personnel, including the development of a sales and marketing infrastructure; ● Reliance on third party suppliers for certain components of our product candidates; ● If we successfully develop product candidates, our ability to commercialize and distribute our product candidates in the United States and internationally, depends on our ability to demonstrate the efficacy and financial viability of our products to doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, and other stakeholders; ● Changes in external competitive market factors; ● Uncertainties in generating sustained revenue or achieving profitability; ● Unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements; ● Changes in FDA regulations, including testing procedures, for medical devices and related promotional and marketing activities; ● Our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection; ● Product liability lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities, limit sales of our existing product candidates and limit commercialization of any products that we may develop; ● Our ability to maintain the listing of our securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market; and ● Changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the medical device industry.

Risks Related to Our Business and Strategy

We have incurred losses since our inception, expect to incur losses in the future and may never achieve or sustain profitability.

We have historically incurred losses and expect to continue incurring losses going forward. Our losses have resulted primarily from our research programs and the development of our product candidates as well as from costs related to general and administrative expenses relating to our operations. Currently, we are not generating revenue from operations, and we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we seek to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates. Additionally, we expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase due to the additional operational costs associated with our clinical studies, as well as the anticipated expansion of our operations to commercialize our products if we receive FDA approval. We do not expect to generate significant revenue until we are able to commercialize one or more of our product candidates after receiving FDA approval, or if any of our product candidates are licensed or sold, if ever. We may never generate significant revenue or become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to achieve and subsequently sustain profitability could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We currently depend entirely on the successful and timely regulatory approval and commercialization of our current product ~~candidates~~candidate, and any future product candidates, which may not receive regulatory approval or, if any of our product candidates do receive regulatory approval, we may not be able to successfully commercialize them.

We currently have ~~two~~one product ~~candidates~~candidate, the ~~VenoValve and the~~ enVVe System, and our business presently depends entirely on our success with ~~these product~~this ~~candidates~~product candidate. In order for our product ~~candidates~~candidate to succeed ~~they~~it ~~need~~needs to be approved by regulatory authorities, which may never happen. Our product ~~candidates~~candidate ~~are~~is based on technologies that have not been used previously in the manner we propose. Market acceptance of our product candidates will largely depend on our ability to demonstrate their relative safety, efficacy, cost-effectiveness and ease of use. We may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize our product ~~candidates~~candidate. If we fail to do so, we will not be able to generate substantial revenues, if any.

We are subject to rigorous and extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States and by comparable agencies in other jurisdictions, including the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, in the European Union, or EU. Our product ~~candidates~~candidate ~~are~~is currently in development, and we have ~~not~~ not received FDA approval for ~~them~~it. Our product ~~candidates~~candidate may not be marketed in the United States until they have been approved by the FDA and may not be marketed in other jurisdictions until they have received approval from the appropriate foreign regulatory agencies. ~~Each~~ A product candidate requires significant research, development, ~~preclinical~~pre-clinical testing and extensive clinical investigation before submission of any regulatory application for marketing approval. For example, on August 19, 2025, the Company received a not-approvable letter from the FDA in response to its PMA application for the VenoValve. While the enVVe System is different than the VenoValve in that it is a non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve, the enVVe System may also not receive FDA approval.

8Obtaining regulatory approval requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we may not be able to obtain approval of any of our product candidates on a timely basis, or at all. The number, size, design and focus of pre-clinical and clinical trials that will be required for approval by the FDA, the EMA or any other foreign regulatory agency varies depending on the device, the disease or condition that the product candidates are designed to address and the regulations applicable to particular products. Pre-clinical and clinical data can be interpreted in different ways, which could delay, limit or preclude regulatory approval. The FDA, the EMA and other foreign regulatory agencies can delay, limit or deny approval of a product for many reasons, including, but not limited to:

Obtaining regulatory approval requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we may not be able to obtain approval of any of our product candidates on a timely basis, or at all. The number, size, design and focus of preclinical and clinical trials that will be required for approval by the FDA, the EMA or any other foreign regulatory agency varies depending on the device, the disease or condition that the product candidates are designed to address and the regulations applicable to particular products. Preclinical and clinical data can be interpreted in different ways, which could delay, limit or preclude regulatory approval. The FDA, the EMA and other foreign regulatory agencies can delay, limit or deny approval of a product for many reasons, including, but not limited to:

	●	a product candidate may not be shown to be safe or effective;
	●	the clinical and other benefits of a product candidate may not outweigh its safety risks;
	●	we may not be able to enroll enough patients to complete our product studies;
	●	clinical trial results may be negative or inconclusive, or adverse medical events may occur during a clinical trial;
	●	trial patients may expire from reasons unrelated to our product, impairing our trials;
	●	the results of clinical trials may not meet the level of statistical significance required by regulatory agencies for approval;
	●	regulatory agencies may interpret data from pre-clinical and clinical trials in different ways than we do;
	●	regulatory agencies may not approve the manufacturing process or determine that the manufacturing is not in accordance with current good manufacturing practices, or cGMPs;
	●	a product candidate may fail to comply with regulatory requirements; and/or
	●	regulatory agencies might change their approval policies or adopt new regulations.

If our product candidates are not approved at all or quickly enough to provide net revenues to defray our operating expenses, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could be harmed.7

For example, with respect to the VenoValve, the FDA indicated that the favorable rVCSS data generated by the study to show clinical improvement, together with the improvements in pain scores and venous specific quality of life indicators was not sufficient on its own to determine favorability of the benefit risk profile for the VenoValve. The FDA also referenced the use of a hemodynamic measurement that correlates with patient improvement, concerns about bias and the possibility that clinical improvement occurred as a result of the patients being enrolled in a study and safety concerns attributed to the VenoValve open surgical procedure, and that required re-hospitalizations.

If our current and future product candidates are not approved at all or quickly enough to provide net revenues to defray our operating expenses, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could be harmed.

If we are unable to successfully raise additional capital, our future clinical trials and product development could be limited and our long-term viability may be threatened.

We have experienced negative operating cash flows since our inception and have funded our operations primarily from proceeds received from sales of our capital stock, and the issuance of convertible and non-convertible notes. We will need to seek additional funds in the future through equity or debt financings, or strategic alliances with third parties, either alone or in combination with equity financings, to complete our product development initiatives. These financings could result in substantial dilution to the holders of our common stock or require contractual or other restrictions on our operations or on alternatives that may be available to us. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities could impose significant restrictions on our operations. Any such required financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, and the failure to procure such required financing could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, or threaten our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our present and future capital requirements will be significant and will depend on many factors, including:

	●	the progress and results of our development efforts for our product candidates;
	●	the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;
	●	the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending any intellectual property-related claims;
	●	the effect of competing technological and market developments;
	●	the cost associated with commercialization of our product candidates once approved by the FDA;
	●	market acceptance of our product candidates;
	●	the rate of progress in establishing coverage and reimbursement arrangements with domestic and international commercial third-party payors and government payors;
	●	the ability to achieve revenue growth and improve gross margins;
	●	the extent to which we acquire or in-license other products and technologies; and
	●	legal, accounting, insurance and other professional and business-related costs.

We may not be able to acquire additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise adequate funds, we may have to liquidate some or all of our assets or delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate some or all of our development programs.

If we do not have, or are not able to obtain, sufficient funds, we may be required to delay development or commercialization of our product candidates. We also may have to reduce the resources devoted to our product candidates or cease operations. Any of these factors could harm our operating results.

We may never be able to generate sufficient revenue from the commercialization of our product candidates to achieve and maintain profitability.

Our ability to operate profitably in the future will depend upon, among other items, our ability to (i) fully develop product candidates, (ii) scale up our business and operational structure, (iii) obtain regulatory approval of product candidates from the FDA and foreign regulators, (iv) market and sell product candidates, (v) successfully gain market acceptance of our product candidates by doctors and patients, and (vi) obtain sufficient and on-time supply of components from our third-party suppliers. If our product candidates are never successfully commercialized, we may never receive a return on our investments in product development, regulatory compliance, manufacturing, and quality assurance, which may cause us to fail to generate revenue and gain economies of scale from such investments.

We only utilize a few suppliers for porcine tissue for our product candidates and the loss of a supplier could have an adverse impact on our business.

We rely on two domestic third-party vendors to supply porcine tissue for our product candidates. Our ability to supply our current and future product candidates commercially, if approved, depends, in part, on our ability to obtain this porcine tissue in accordance with our specifications and with regulatory requirements and in sufficient quantities to meet demand. Our ability to obtain porcine tissue may be affected by matters outside our control, including that these suppliers may cancel our arrangements on short notice or have disruptions to their operations.

If we are required to establish additional or replacement suppliers for the porcine tissue, it may not be accomplished timely and our operations could be disrupted. Even if we are able to find replacement suppliers, the replacement suppliers may need to be qualified and may require additional regulatory authority approval, which could result in further delay. In the event of a supply disruption, our product inventories may be insufficient to supply our customers and the development of any future product candidates would be delayed, limited or prevented, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

We depend upon third-party suppliers for certain components of our product candidates, making us vulnerable to supply problems and price fluctuations, which could harm our business.

We rely on a number of third-party suppliers to provide certain components of our product candidates. We do not have long-term supply agreements with most of our suppliers, and, in many cases, we purchase goods on a purchase order basis. Our suppliers may encounter problems for a variety of reasons, including unanticipated demand from larger customers, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, failure to comply with applicable regulations, equipment malfunction, quality or yield problems and environmental factors, any of which could delay or impede their ability to meet our demand. Our reliance on these third-party suppliers also subjects us to other risks that could harm our business, including:

	●	interruption of supply resulting from modifications to, or discontinuation of, a supplier’s operations;
	●	delays in product shipments resulting from defects, reliability issues or changes in components from suppliers;
	●	price fluctuations due to a lack of long-term supply arrangements for key components with our suppliers;
	●	errors in manufacturing components, which could negatively impact the effectiveness or safety of our product candidates or cause delays in shipment of our product candidates;
	●	discontinued production of components, which could significantly delay our production and sales and impair operating margins;
	●	inability to obtain adequate supplies in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms;
	●	difficulty locating and qualifying alternative suppliers, especially with respect to our sole-source supplies;
	●	delays in production and sales caused by switching components, which may require product redesign and/or new regulatory submissions;
	●	delays due to evaluation and testing of devices from alternative suppliers and corresponding regulatory qualifications;
	●	non-timely delivery of components due to our suppliers supplying products for a range of customers;
	●	the failure of our suppliers to comply with strictly enforced regulatory requirements, which could result in disruption of supply or increased expenses; and
	●	inability of suppliers to fulfill orders and meet requirements due to financial hardships.

In addition, there are a limited number of suppliers and third-party manufacturers that operate under the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, requirements, maintain certifications from the International Organization for Standardization that are recognized as harmonized standards in the European Economic Area, or EEA, and that have the necessary expertise and capacity to supply components for our product candidates. As a result, it may be difficult for us to locate manufacturers for our anticipated future needs, and our anticipated growth may strain the ability of our current suppliers to deliver products, materials and components to us. If we are unable to arrange for third-party manufacturing of components for our product candidates, or to do so on commercially reasonable terms, we may not be able to complete development of, market and sell our current or new product candidates. Further, any supply interruption from our suppliers or failure to obtain additional suppliers for any of the components used in our product candidates would limit our ability to manufacture our product candidates. Failure to meet these commitments could result in legal action by our customers, loss of customers or harm to our ability to attract new customers, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth.

If we successfully develop product candidates, which at this time will likely take several years at a minimum, we will have to demonstrate the efficacy and financial viability of our products to doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, and other stakeholders.

There are multiple stakeholders that determine the success of a medical device, including doctors, hospitals, medical insurance companies, and others. Educating these stakeholders on the benefits of product candidates will require a significant commitment by a marketing team and sales organization. Surgeons and hospitals may be slow to change their practices because of familiarity with existing devices and/or treatments, perceived risks arising from the use of new devices, lack of experience using new devices, lack of clinical data supporting the benefits of such devices or the cost of new devices. There may never be widespread adoption of our product candidates by surgeons and hospitals. In addition, medical insurance companies would need to understand the costs and benefits of our product candidates compared to the existing standards of care, if they are to provide reimbursement for the cost of our product candidates and the procedures to implant our product candidates. We may have difficulty and may never achieve the market acceptance that we need from doctors, hospitals, medical insurance companies and others that are necessary for a successful product.

We may be unable to convince hospital facilities to approve the use of our product candidates.

In the United States, in order for surgeons to use our product candidates, the hospital facilities where these surgeons treat patients ~~will~~ will typically require that the product candidates receive approval from the facility’s value analysis committee (“VAC”). ~~VACs~~ VACs typically review the comparative effectiveness and cost of medical devices used in the facility. The makeup and evaluation processes for VACs vary considerably, and it can be a lengthy, costly and time-consuming effort to obtain approval by the relevant VAC. For example, even if we have an agreement with a hospital system for the purchase of a product, in most cases, they must obtain VAC approval by each hospital within the system to sell at that particular hospital. Additionally, hospitals typically require separate VAC approval for each specialty in which a product is used, which may result in multiple VAC approval processes within the same hospital even if such product has already been approved for use by a different specialty group. VAC approval is often needed for each different product to be used by the surgeons in that specialty. In addition, hospital facilities and group purchasing organizations, or GPOs, which manage purchasing for multiple facilities, may also require us to enter into a purchasing agreement and satisfy numerous elements of their administrative procurement process, which can also be a lengthy, costly and time-consuming effort. If we do not receive access to hospital facilities in a timely manner, or at all, via these VAC and purchasing contract processes, or otherwise, or if we are unable to secure contracts on commercially reasonable terms in a timely manner, or at all, our costs may increase, our sales may decrease and our operating results may be harmed.

We face significant competition and our business prospects will depend on our ability to develop and commercialize our current product candidates and may also depend on our ability to develop additional product candidates.

The medical device industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid change and technological advancements. New technologies, techniques or products could emerge that might make our products obsolete or offer better combinations of price and performance than the products that we plan to offer. Therefore, it is important to our business that we continue to develop and enhance our product candidate offerings and potentially introduce new product candidates.

Developing new product candidates is expensive and time-consuming. Even if we are successful in developing additional product candidates, the success of any new product candidates or enhancements to existing product candidates will depend on several factors, including our ability to:

● properly identify and anticipate surgeon and patient needs; ● develop and introduce new product candidates or enhancements in a timely manner; ● develop an effective and dedicated sales and marketing team; ● avoid infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others; ● demonstrate, if required, the safety and efficacy of new product candidates with data from preclinical studies and clinical trials; ● obtain the necessary regulatory clearances or approvals for new product candidates or enhancements; ● be fully FDA-compliant with marketing of new product candidates or modified product candidates; ● provide adequate training to potential users of our product candidates; and ● receive adequate coverage and reimbursement for procedures performed with our product candidates.

1110

	●	develop an effective and dedicated sales and marketing team;
	●	avoid infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others;
	●	demonstrate, if required, the safety and efficacy of new product candidates with data from pre-clinical studies and clinical trials;
	●	obtain the necessary regulatory clearances or approvals for new product candidates or enhancements;
	●	be fully FDA-compliant with marketing of new product candidates or modified product candidates;
	●	provide adequate training to potential users of our product candidates; and
	●	receive adequate coverage and reimbursement for procedures performed with our product candidates.

If we are unsuccessful in developing and commercializing additional devices in other areas, our ability to realize our revenue may be impaired.

Existing markets for surgical devices are characterized by rapid technological change and innovation. It is critical to our success that we anticipate changes in technology and customer requirements and physician, hospital and healthcare provider practices. It is also important that we successfully introduce new, enhanced and competitive product candidates to meet our prospective customers’ needs on a timely and cost-effective basis. At the same time, however, we must carefully manage our introduction of new product candidates. If potential customers believe that such product candidates will offer enhanced features or be sold for a more attractive price, they may delay purchases until such product candidates are available. We may also continue to offer older products as we transition to new product candidates, and we may not have sufficient experience managing transitions. If we do not successfully innovate and introduce new technology into our anticipated product lines or successfully manage the transitions of our technology to new product offerings, our revenue, results of operations and business could be adversely impacted.

Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, industry standards, distribution reach or customer requirements. We anticipate that we will face strong competition in the future as current or future competitors develop new or improved product candidates and as new companies enter the market with novel technologies.

If we are unable to produce an adequate supply of our product candidates for use in our current and planned clinical trials or for commercialization because of our limited manufacturing resources or our facility is damaged or becomes inoperable, our regulatory, development and commercialization efforts may be delayed.

Our manufacturing resources for our product candidates are limited. We currently manufacture our product candidates for our research and development and clinical trial purposes at our manufacturing facility in Irvine, California. If our existing manufacturing facility experiences a disruption, we would have no other means of manufacturing our product candidates until we are able to restore the manufacturing capability at our current facility or develop alternative manufacturing facilities. Any damage to or destruction of our facilities or our equipment, prolonged power outage or contamination at our facilities would significantly impair our ability to produce our product candidates and prepare our product candidates for clinical trials.

Additionally, to produce our product candidates in the quantities that we anticipate will be required for commercialization, we will have to increase or “scale up” our production process over the current level of production. We may encounter difficulties in scaling up our production, including issues involving yields, controlling and anticipating costs, quality control and assurance, supply and shortages of qualified personnel. If our scaled-up production process is not efficient or results in a product that does not meet quality or other standards, we may be unable to meet market demand and our revenues, business and financial prospects would be adversely affected. Further, third parties with whom we may develop relationships may not have the ability to produce the quantities of the materials we may require for clinical trials or commercial sales or may be unable to do so at prices that allow us to price our products competitively.

Our facility and equipment would be costly to replace and could require substantial lead time to repair or replace. The facility may be harmed or rendered inoperable by natural or man-made disasters, including earthquakes, flooding, fire, vandalism and power outages, which may render it difficult to operate our business for some period of time. While we have taken precautions to safeguard our facilities, any inability to operate our business during such periods could lead to the loss of customers or harm to our reputation. We also possess insurance for damage to our property and the disruption of our business, but this insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses and this insurance may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

1211

We currently have no sales and limited marketing infrastructure and we may not be able to build a sales and marketing infrastructure sufficient for us to commercialize our current product candidate or future product candidates, if approved, and may be unable to do so or may never generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.

In order to commercialize products that are approved by regulatory agencies, we will have to increase our expenditures to undertake development or commercialization activities. If we are unable to successfully execute commercialization activities, we may have to curtail the development of our product candidates, reduce or delay development programs, delay potential commercialization of our product candidates or reduce the scope of any sales or marketing activities.

If it becomes necessary for us to establish a sales and marketing infrastructure, we may not be able to do so or we may not realize a positive return on this investment. We would have to compete with established and well-funded medical device companies to recruit, hire, train and retain sales and marketing personnel. Once hired, the training process is lengthy because it requires significant education of new sales representatives to achieve the level of clinical competency with our products expected by specialists. Upon completion of the training, we expect our sales representatives would typically require lead time in the field to grow their network of accounts and achieve the productivity levels we expect them to reach in any individual territory. If we are unable to attract, motivate, develop and retain a sufficient number of qualified sales personnel, or if our sales representatives do not achieve the productivity levels in the time period we expect them to, our revenue will not grow at the rate we expect and our business, results of operations and financial condition will suffer. Also, to the extent we hire sales personnel from our competitors, we may be required to wait until applicable non-competition provisions have expired before deploying such personnel in restricted territories or incur costs to relocate personnel outside of such territories. Any of these risks may adversely affect our ability to increase sales of our product candidates. If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing capabilities, we may not be able to effectively commercialize our product candidates, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Product liability lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities, limit sales of our existing product candidates and limit commercialization of any products that we may develop.

Our business exposes us to the risk of product liability claims that are inherent in the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of medical devices. This risk exists even if a device is cleared or approved for commercial sale by the FDA and manufactured in facilities licensed and regulated by the FDA or an applicable foreign regulatory authority. Manufacturing and marketing of our commercial devices and clinical testing of our product candidates, may expose us to product liability and other tort claims. Furthermore, surgeons may misuse our product candidates or use improper techniques if they are not adequately trained, potentially leading to injury and an increased risk of product liability. If our product candidates are misused or used with improper technique, we may become subject to costly litigation by our customers or their patients. Regardless of the merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in:

	●	significant litigation costs;
	●	decreased demand for our product candidates and any future product candidates that we may develop;
	●	damage to our reputation;
	●	withdrawal of clinical trial participants;
	●	substantial monetary awards to trial participants, patients or other claimants;
	●	loss of revenue; and
	●	the inability to commercialize any product candidates that we may develop.

Although we maintain liability insurance, the coverage limits of our insurance policies may not be adequate, and one or more successful claims brought against us may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. If we are unable to obtain insurance in the future at an acceptable cost or on acceptable terms with adequate coverage, we will be exposed to significant liabilities.

1312

The loss of our executive officers or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel may adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

Our business and operations depend to a significant degree on the skills, efforts and continued services of our executive officers who have critical industry experience and relationships. Although we have entered into employment agreements with our executive officers, they may terminate their employment with us at any time. Accordingly, these executive officers may not remain associated with us. The efforts of these persons will be critical to us as we continue to develop our product candidates and business. We do not carry key person life insurance on any of our management, which would leave our company uncompensated for the loss of any of our executive officers.

Further, competition for highly skilled and qualified personnel is intense. As such, our future viability and ability to achieve sales and profit will also depend on our ability to attract, train, retain and motivate highly qualified personnel in the diverse areas required for continuing our operations. If we were to lose the services one or more of our current executive officers or if we are unable to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel, we may experience difficulties in competing effectively, developing and commercializing our products and implementing our business strategies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

The Company has incurred significant operating losses which have generated ~~significant~~ net operating loss carry-forwards for both federal and state purposes. Other than federal NOL carryforwards generated after 2017, our NOL carryforwards will expire if not used over the next ~~five~~four years. Our ability to realize the benefits of these NOL carryforwards will depend on our ability to generate income.

Further, our ability to realize the benefits of NOL carryforwards are limited because of ownership changes. In general, a corporation that ~~undergoes~~ undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined as a greater than 50% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a rolling three- (3) year period) may be subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs and certain credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income and taxes. We have analyzed the tax impacts of ownership changes that occurred in 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024, and in ~~2024~~2025. While those ownership changes may have resulted in limits to the amount of NOLs that ~~may~~can be used in a given year, these are all post 2017 NOLs and are carried forward indefinitely.

Future changes in our stock ownership, as well as other changes that may be outside of our control, could result in additional ownership changes. Our NOLs and credit carryforwards may also be limited under similar provisions of state law. We have recorded a full valuation allowance related to our NOLs and other deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of the future tax benefits of such assets.

To the extent the Company utilizes its NOL carryforwards in the future, the tax years in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities of the future period tax return in which the attribute is used.

Risks Related to Regulatory Approval and Other Governmental Regulations

Our business and product candidates are subject to extensive governmental regulation and oversight, and our failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could harm our business.

Our product candidates and operations are subject to extensive regulation in the United States by the FDA and by regulatory agencies in other countries where we anticipate conducting business activities. The FDA regulates the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, record-keeping, promotion, marketing, sales, distribution and post-market support and reporting of medical devices in the United States. The regulations to which we are subject are complex and may become more stringent over time. Regulatory changes could result in restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations, higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales.

In order to conduct a clinical investigation involving human subjects for the purpose of demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of a medical device, a company must, among other things, apply for and obtain Institutional Review Board, or IRB, approval of the proposed investigation. In addition, if the clinical study involves a “significant risk” (as defined by the FDA) to human health, the sponsor of the investigation must submit and obtain FDA approval of an IDE application. Our product candidates are considered significant risk devices requiring IDE approval prior to investigational use. We may not be able to obtain FDA and/or IRB approval to undertake clinical trials in the United States for any new devices we intend to market in the United States in the future. If we do obtain such approvals, we may not be able to conduct studies which comply with the IDE and other regulations governing clinical investigations or the data from any such trials may not support clearance or approval of the investigational device. Failure to obtain such approvals or to comply with such regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. It is uncertain whether clinical trials will meet desired endpoints, produce meaningful or useful data and be free of unexpected adverse effects, or that the FDA will accept the validity of foreign clinical study data, and such uncertainty could preclude or delay market clearance or authorizations resulting in significant financial costs and reduced revenue.

Our product candidates may be subject to extensive governmental regulation in foreign jurisdictions, such as the EEA, and our failure to comply with applicable requirements could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to suffer.13

The Company received a not-approvable letter from the FDA.

On August 19, 2025, the Company received a not-approvable letter from the FDA in response to its PMA application for the VenoValve. The letter indicated that the FDA completed its review of the VenoValve PMA application and determined that it is unable to approve the PMA for the VenoValve in its current form. In particular, the FDA indicated that the favorable rVCSS data generated by the study to show clinical improvement, together with the improvements in pain scores and venous specific quality of life indicators was not sufficient on its own to determine favorability of the benefit risk profile for the VenoValve. Without a specific hemodynamic measurement that correlates with patient improvement, the FDA raised concerns about bias and the possibility that clinical improvement occurred as a result of the patients being enrolled in a study. The FDA also focused on safety concerns which were attributed to the VenoValve open surgical procedure, and that required re-hospitalizations.

On September 18, 2025, the Company filed a request for supervisory appeal of the not-approvable letter from the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the FDA received on August 19, 2025, in response to its PMA application for the VenoValve. The FDA provides several internal informal and formal mechanisms to challenge staff decisions, including scientific controversies. One mechanism is a request for supervisory review in which an appeal is made to the next line of supervision. These appeals involve a formal substantive request, an in-person meeting, and a decision. It also often includes multiple interactions even after an initial appeal decision is made. Internal Agency reviews are based on information already in the administrative file.

In October 2025, the Company completed an in-person meeting with the FDA. In addition to representatives from an outside firm specializing in FDA matters and appeals and representatives from the Company, the meeting also included a patient advocate from VenoValve U.S. pivotal study as well as one of the Company’s primary investigators from the trial. Several employees from the FDA attended the meeting including the Director of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, who elected to hear the appeal and who will be issuing the appeal decision. The FDA meeting provided the Company with the opportunity to put the major adverse events—those tied to the SAVVE study’s safety endpoints—into the proper context. It also allowed the Company to re-emphasize the multiple physician-and patient-reported clinical benefits that comprise the totality of the evidence from the study, supported by firsthand perspectives shared by both the SAVVE study patient and investigator in attendance. Because there are no established industry or regulatory standards to determine the effectiveness for a replacement venous valve, it is necessary for the Company and the Agency to establish a new regulatory pathway for VenoValve effectiveness.

On November 13, 2025, the Company received an unfavorable decision from the FDA in response to its supervisory appeal of the not-approvable letter. The supervisory appeal upheld the review staff decision in the not-approvable letter that the VenoValve did not meet the standard of reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.

In light of receiving a not-approvable letter from the FDA and an unfavorable decision from the FDA in response to its supervisory appeal of the not-approvable letter, there can be no assurances that the Company will ever get regulatory approval for the VenoValve or for the enVVe System.

Our product candidates will be subject to extensive governmental regulation in foreign jurisdictions, such as the EEA, and our failure to comply with applicable requirements could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to suffer.

In the EEA, our product candidates will need to comply with the Essential Requirements set forth in Medical Device Regulation. Compliance with these requirements is a prerequisite to be able to affix a CE mark to a product, without which a product cannot be marketed or sold in the EEA. To demonstrate compliance with the Essential Requirements and obtain the right to affix the CE mark to our product candidates, we must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of medical device and its classification. The conformity assessment procedure requires the involvement of a Notified Body, which is an organization designated by a competent authority of an EEA country to conduct conformity assessments. The Notified Body would audit and examine the Technical File and the quality system for the manufacture, design and final inspection of our products. The Notified Body issues a CE Certificate of Conformity following successful completion of a conformity assessment procedure and quality management system audit conducted in relation to the medical device and its manufacturer and their conformity with the Essential Requirements. This Certificate entitles the manufacturer to affix the CE mark to its medical products after having prepared and signed a related EC Declaration of Conformity.

As a general rule, demonstration of conformity of medical products and their manufacturers with the Essential Requirements must be based, among other things, on the evaluation of clinical data supporting the safety and performance of the products during normal conditions of use. Specifically, a manufacturer must demonstrate that the device achieves its intended performance during normal conditions of use and that the known and foreseeable risks, and any adverse events, are minimized and acceptable when weighed against the benefits of its intended performance, and that any claims made about the performance and safety of the device (e.g., product labeling and instructions for use) are supported by suitable evidence. This assessment must be based on clinical data, which can be obtained from (1) clinical studies conducted on the devices being assessed, (2) scientific literature from similar devices whose equivalence with the assessed device can be demonstrated or (3) both clinical studies and scientific literature. However, the pre-approval and post-market clinical requirements are much more rigorous. The conduct of clinical studies in the EEA is governed by detailed regulatory obligations. These may include the requirement of prior authorization by the competent authorities of the country in which the study takes place and the requirement to obtain a positive opinion from a competent Ethics Committee. This process can be expensive and time-consuming.

The FDA regulatory approval, clearance and license process is complex, time-consuming and unpredictable.

In the United States, our product candidates are regulated as medical devices. Before our medical device product candidates may be ~~marketed~~ marketed in the United States, we must submit, and the FDA must approve a PMA application. For the PMA approval process, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is safe and effective for its intended use based, in part, on extensive data, including, but not limited to, technical, pre-clinical, clinical trial, manufacturing and labeling data. In addition, modifications to products that are approved through a PMA application generally require FDA approval. The time required to obtain approval, clearance or license by the FDA to market a new therapy is unpredictable but typically takes years and depends upon many factors, including the substantial discretion of the FDA, especially after the Company received a not-approvable letter from the FDA related to the VenoValve. This timeline may be further extended as a result of the recent reduction in workforce that has taken place within the federal government, including at the FDA.

Our product candidates could fail to receive regulatory approval, clearance or license for many reasons, including the following:

● the FDA may disagree with the design or implementation of our clinical trials or study endpoints; ● we may be unable to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA that our product candidates are safe and effective for their proposed indications or that our product candidates provide significant clinical benefits; ● the results of our clinical trials may not meet the level of statistical significance required by the FDA for approval, clearance or license or may not support approval of a label that could command a price sufficient for us to be profitable; ● the FDA may disagree with our interpretation of data from ~~preclinical~~pre-clinical studies or clinical trials; ● the opportunity for bias in the clinical trials as a result of the open-label design may not be adequately handled and may cause our trial to fail; ● our product candidates may be subject to an FDA advisory committee review, which may be requested at the sole discretion of the FDA, and which may result in unexpected delays or hurdles to approval; ● the FDA may determine that the manufacturing processes at our facilities or facilities of third-party manufacturers with which we contract for clinical and commercial supplies are inadequate; ● the FDA may determine we cannot continue our clinical trials due to adverse patient reactions including patient deaths for reasons unrelated to our products; and ● the approval, clearance or license policies or regulations of the FDA may significantly change in a manner rendering our clinical data insufficient for approval.

	●	the FDA may determine we cannot continue our clinical trials due to adverse patient reactions including patient deaths for reasons unrelated to our products; and
	●	the approval, clearance or license policies or regulations of the FDA may significantly change in a manner rendering our clinical data insufficient for approval.

Even if we were to obtain approval, clearance or license, the FDA may grant approval, clearance or license contingent on the performance of costly post-marketing clinical trials or may approve our product candidates with a label that does not include the labeling claims necessary or desirable for successful commercialization of our product candidates. Any of the above could materially harm our product candidates’ commercial prospects.

Even if our product candidates are approved by regulatory authorities, if we fail to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements, or if we experience unanticipated problems with our product candidates, our product candidates could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market.

The manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data and promotional activities of any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval will be subject to continual review and periodic inspections by the FDA and other regulatory bodies. Even if regulatory approval of our product candidates is granted in the United States or elsewhere, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product candidates may be marketed or contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or effectiveness of the product. Later discovery of previously unknown and unanticipated problems with our product candidates, including but not limited to unanticipated severity or frequency of adverse events, delays or problems with the manufacturer or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in restrictions on such product candidates or manufacturing processes, withdrawal of the product candidates from the market, voluntary or mandatory recall, fines, suspension of regulatory approvals, product seizures, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.

We are required to report certain malfunctions, deaths and serious injuries associated with our products once approved by regulatory bodies, which can result in voluntary corrective actions or agency enforcement actions.

All manufacturers marketing medical devices in the EEA are legally bound to report incidents involving devices they produce or sell to the regulatory agency, or competent authority, in whose jurisdiction the incident occurred. Under the EU Medical Devices Directive (Directive 93/42/EEC), an incident is defined as any malfunction or deterioration in the characteristics and/or performance of a device, as well as any inadequacy in the labeling or the instructions for use which, directly or indirectly, might lead to or might have led to the death of a patient, or user or of other persons or to a serious deterioration in their state of health. In addition, under the EU MDR, the manufacturers are obligated to publish Periodic Safety Update Report (annually for high risk devices) which will be uploaded to EUDAMED and require conformity assessment by Notified Bodies.

Malfunction or misuse of our product candidates could result in future voluntary corrective actions, such as recalls, including corrections (e.g., customer notifications), or agency action, such as inspection or enforcement actions. If malfunctions or misuse do occur, we may be unable to correct the malfunctions adequately or prevent further malfunctions or misuse, in which case we may need to cease manufacture and distribution of the affected products, initiate voluntary recalls, and redesign the products or the instructions for use for those products. Regulatory authorities may also take actions against us, such as ordering recalls, imposing fines, or seizing the affected products. Any corrective action, whether voluntary or involuntary, will require the dedication of our time and capital, may distract management from operating our business, and may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Legislative or regulatory reforms in the United States or the EU may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain regulatory clearances or approvals for product candidates or to manufacture, market or distribute product candidates after clearance or approval is obtained.

From time to time, legislation is drafted and introduced in the U.S. Congress that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the regulation of medical devices or the reimbursement thereof. In addition, the FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the FDA in ways that may significantly affect our business and our product candidates. For example, as part of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act, or FDASIA, Congress reauthorized the Medical Device User Fee Amendments with various FDA performance goal commitments and enacted several “Medical Device Regulatory Improvements” and miscellaneous reforms, which are further intended to clarify and improve medical device regulation both pre- and post-clearance or approval. Any new statutes, regulations or revisions or reinterpretations of existing regulations may impose additional costs or lengthen review times of any future products or make it more difficult to manufacture, market or distribute our product candidates or future products. We cannot determine what effect changes in regulations, statutes, legal interpretation or policies, when and if promulgated, enacted or adopted may have on our business in the future. Such changes could, among other things, require:

	●	additional testing prior to obtaining clearance or approval;
	●	changes to manufacturing methods;
	●	recall, replacement or discontinuance of our systems or future products; or
	●	additional record keeping.

Any of these changes could require substantial time and cost and could harm our business and our financial results.

The highly publicized PIP scandal (use of non-medical grade silicone in breast implants) in 2010 led to publishing the first version of EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) by European Commission in 2012. After 347 amendments by European Parliament in 2014, followed by various versions, the final version of the new EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) was published on May 5, 2017. Notified Bodies are currently not accepting any new CE Mark applications under MDD (Medical Device Directives). All new medical devices, including ours, must undergo assessment under MDR.

The changes from EU Medical Device Directives (MDD) to Medical Device Regulation (MDR) are significant, with stricter clinical requirements and post-market surveillance, shift from pre-approval to Life-cycle approach, centralized EUDAMED database for public transparency (e.g. Periodic Safety Update Reports) and device registration, more device specific requirements (e.g. Common Specifications), legal liability for defective devices, etc. The QMS audit under MDR will be much more rigorous, including audits and assessment of suppliers and device testing. In addition, EU MDR introduces new stakeholders participating during the application review process, which will result in a longer and more burdensome assessment of our new products. The new stakeholders will include Medical Device Coordination Group (MDCG) established by Member States and Expert Panels appointed by European Union.

Further, under either the FDA’s Medical Device Reporting or MDR regulations, we are required to report to the FDA any incident in which our product candidates may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or in which our product malfunctioned and, if the malfunction were to recur, would likely cause or contribute to death or serious injury. Any adverse event involving our products could result in future voluntary corrective actions, such as product actions or customer notifications, or regulatory authority actions, such as inspection, mandatory recall or other enforcement action. Repeated product malfunctions may result in a voluntary or involuntary product recall, which could divert managerial and financial resources, impair our ability to manufacture our product candidates in a cost-effective and timely manner and have an adverse effect on our reputation, financial condition and operating results.

Moreover, depending on the corrective action we take to redress a product’s deficiencies or defects, the FDA may require us, or we may decide that we will need, to obtain new approvals or clearances for the device before we may market or distribute the corrected device. Seeking such approvals or clearances may delay our ability to replace the recalled devices in a timely manner. Moreover, if we do not adequately address problems associated with our product candidates, we may face additional regulatory enforcement action, including FDA warning letters, product seizure, injunctions, administrative penalties, withdrawals or clearances or approvals or civil or criminal fines. We may also be required to bear other costs or take other actions that may have a negative impact on our sales as well as face significant adverse publicity or regulatory consequences, which could harm our business, including our ability to market our product candidates in the future.

We are subject to federal, state and foreign healthcare laws and regulations, and a finding of failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

Our operations are, and will continue to be, directly and indirectly affected by various federal, state or foreign healthcare laws, including, but not limited to, those described below. These laws include:

● the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service for which payment may be made under federal healthcare programs, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Violations of the federal Anti-kickback Statute may result in substantial civil or criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $25,000, imprisonment of up to five years, civil penalties under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law of up to $50,000 for each violation, plus three times the remuneration involved, civil penalties under the federal False Claims Act of up to $11,000 for each claim submitted, plus three times the amounts paid for such claims and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs; ● the federal False Claims Act, which prohibits, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal third-party payors that are false or fraudulent. Suits filed under the False Claims Act, known as “qui tam” actions, can be brought by any individual on behalf of the government and such individuals, commonly known as “whistleblowers,” may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. When an entity is determined to have violated the False Claims Act, the government may impose penalties of not less than $5,500 and not more than $11,000, plus three times the amount of the damages that the government sustains due to the submission of a false claim and exclude the entity from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs; ● the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which prohibits, among other things, offering or transferring remuneration to a federal healthcare beneficiary that a person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s decision to order or receive items or services reimbursable by the government from a particular provider or supplier; ● HIPAA, as amended by the HITECH Act, and their respective implementing regulations, which governs the conduct of certain electronic healthcare transactions and protects the security and privacy of protected health information. Failure to comply with the HIPAA privacy and security standards can result in civil monetary penalties up to $50,000 per violation, not to exceed $1.5 million per calendar year for non-compliance of an identical provision, and, in certain circumstances, criminal penalties with fines up to $250,000 per violation and/or imprisonment. State attorneys general can bring a civil action to enjoin a HIPAA violation or to obtain statutory damages up to $25,000 per violation on behalf of residents of his or her state. HIPAA also imposes criminal penalties for fraud against any healthcare benefit program and for obtaining money or property from a healthcare benefit program through false pretenses and provides for broad prosecutorial subpoena authority and authorizes certain property forfeiture upon conviction of a federal healthcare offense. Significantly, the HIPAA provisions apply not only to federal programs, but also to private health benefit programs. HIPAA also broadened the authority of the U.S. Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to exclude participants from federal healthcare programs; ● the federal physician sunshine requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or PPACA, which requires certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies to report annually to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians, which is defined broadly to include other healthcare providers and teaching hospitals and ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Manufacturers are required to submit reports by the 90th day of each calendar year. Failure to submit the required information may result in civil monetary penalties up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (and up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”) for all payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests not reported in an annual submission, and may result in liability under other federal laws or regulations; and ● analogous state and foreign law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third- party payor, including commercial insurers; state laws that require device companies to comply with the industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the applicable compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers and other potential referral sources; state laws that require device manufacturers to report information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and other healthcare providers or marketing expenditures; and state laws governing the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts. Any failure by us to ensure that our employees and agents comply with applicable state and foreign laws and regulations could result in substantial penalties or restrictions on our ability to conduct business in those jurisdictions, and our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

●

analogous state and foreign law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third- party payor, including commercial insurers; state laws that require device companies to comply with the industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the applicable compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers and other potential referral sources; state laws that require device manufacturers to report information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and other healthcare providers or marketing expenditures; and state laws governing the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts. Any failure by us to ensure that our employees and agents comply with applicable state and foreign laws and regulations could result in substantial penalties or restrictions on our ability to conduct business in those jurisdictions, and our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

The risk of our being found in violation of these laws is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the statutory exceptions and safe harbors available under such laws, it is possible that some of our business activities, including our relationships with surgeons and other healthcare providers, some of whom recommend, purchase and/or prescribe our product candidates, and our distributors, could be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws.

If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us now or in the future, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from governmental health care programs and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business.

Regulatory healthcare reform measures and other legislative changes may have a material and adverse effect on business, results of operations and financial condition.

FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by FDA and such actions may significantly affect our business and our product candidates. Any new regulations or revisions or reinterpretations of existing regulations may impose additional costs or lengthen review times for our product candidates. Delays in receipt of, or failure to receive, regulatory approvals for our product candidates would have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2010, the PPACA was signed into law. Initially it included a deductible 2.3% excise tax on any entity that manufactures or imports medical devices offered for sale in the United States, with limited exceptions. Although this excise tax was permanently repealed on December 20, 2019, it or similar taxes, may be enacted in the future. Other elements of the PPACA remain in force, including comparative effectiveness research, an independent payment advisory board and payment system reforms, including shared savings pilots and other provisions, which may significantly affect the payment for, and the availability of, healthcare services and result in fundamental changes to federal healthcare reimbursement programs, any of which may materially affect numerous aspects of our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted in the United States since the PPACA was enacted. On August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011 created measures for spending reductions by Congress. A Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, tasked with recommending a targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, was unable to reach required goals, thereby triggering the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs. This includes aggregate reductions of Medicare payments to providers up to 2% per fiscal year, which went into effect on April 1, 2013. The 2% reduction in Medicare payments to providers, ~~and~~originally ~~will~~triggered ~~remain~~by inthe ~~effect~~Budget ~~through~~Control Act of 2011, has been extended ~~2024~~multiple ~~unless~~times. ~~additional~~Most ~~Congressional~~recently, ~~action~~the isConsolidated ~~taken~~Appropriations Act, 2023 extended this 2% sequester through fiscal year 2032. On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, or the ATRA, was signed into law which further reduced Medicare payments to certain providers, including hospitals.

We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in reduced demand for our product candidates, if approved, and services or additional pricing pressures.

Our relationships with physician consultants, owners and investors could be subject to additional scrutiny from regulatory enforcement authorities and could subject us to possible administrative, civil or criminal sanctions.

Federal and state laws and regulations impose restrictions on our relationships with physicians who are consultants, owners and investors. We may enter into consulting agreements, license agreements and other agreements with physicians in which we provide cash as compensation. We have or may have other written and oral arrangements with physicians, including for research and development grants and for other purposes.

We could be adversely affected if regulatory agencies were to interpret our financial relationships with these physicians, who may be in a position to influence the ordering of and use of our product candidates for which governmental reimbursement may be available, as being in violation of applicable laws. If our relationships with physicians are found to be in violation of the laws and regulations that apply to us, we may be required to restructure the arrangements and could be subject to administrative, civil and criminal penalties, including exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, imprisonment, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could negatively impact our ability to operate our business and our results of operations.

Our company and many of our collaborators and potential collaborators are required to comply with the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and implementing regulation affecting the transmission, security and privacy of health information, and failure to comply could result in significant penalties.

Numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or the HITECH Act, govern the collection, dissemination, security, use and confidentiality of health information that identifies specific patients. HIPAA and the HITECH Act require our surgeon and hospital customers and potential customers to comply with certain standards for the use and disclosure of health information within their companies and with third parties. The Privacy Standards and Security Standards under HIPAA establish a set of standards for the protection of individually identifiable health information by health plans, health care clearinghouses and certain health care providers, referred to as Covered Entities, and the business associates with whom Covered Entities enter into service relationships pursuant to which individually identifiable health information may be exchanged. Notably, whereas HIPAA previously directly regulated only these Covered Entities, the HITECH Act makes certain of HIPAA’s privacy and security standards also directly applicable to Covered Entities’ business associates. As a result, both Covered Entities and business associates are now subject to significant civil and criminal penalties for failure to comply with Privacy Standards and Security Standards.

HIPAA requires Covered Entities (like many of our customers and potential customers) and business associates to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to protected health information that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information. The HITECH Act expands the notification requirement for breaches of patient-identifiable health information, restricts certain disclosures and sales of patient-identifiable health information and provides for civil monetary penalties for HIPAA violations. The HITECH Act also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against Covered Entities and business associates and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorney fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. Additionally, certain states have adopted comparable privacy and security laws and regulations, some of which may be more stringent than HIPAA.

Any new legislation or regulation in the area of privacy and security of personal information, including personal health information, could also adversely affect our business operations. If we do not comply with existing or new applicable federal or state laws and regulations related to patient health information, we could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions and any resulting liability could adversely affect our financial condition.

In addition, countries around the world have passed or are considering legislation that would impose data breach notification requirements and/or require that companies adopt specific data security requirements. If we experience a data breach that triggers one or more of these laws, we may be subject to breach notification obligations, civil liability and litigation, all of which could also generate negative publicity and have a negative impact on our business.

We are currently, and in the future may be, subject to various governmental regulations related to the manufacturing of product candidates, and we may incur significant expenses to comply with, experience delays in our product commercialization as a result of and be subject to material sanctions if we or our contract manufacturers violate these regulations.

Our manufacturing processes and facility are required to comply with the FDA’s QSR, which covers the procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, sterilization, storage, and shipping of product candidates. Although we believe we are compliant with the QSRs, the FDA enforces the QSR through periodic announced or unannounced inspections of manufacturing facilities. We have been, and anticipate in the future being, subject to such inspections, as well as to inspections by other federal and state regulatory agencies. We are required to register our manufacturing facility with the FDA and list all devices that are manufactured. We also operate an International Organization for Standards, or ISO, 13485 certified facility and annual audits are required to maintain that certification. The suppliers of our components are also required to comply with the QSR and are subject to inspections. We have limited ability to ensure that any such third-party manufacturers will take the necessary steps to comply with applicable regulations, which could cause delays in the delivery of our products. Failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements, or later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products or manufacturing processes, including our failure or the failure of one of our third-party manufacturers to take satisfactory corrective action in response to an adverse QSR inspection, can result in, among other things:

	●	administrative or judicially imposed sanctions;
	●	injunctions or the imposition of civil penalties;
	●	recall or seizure of our product candidates;
	●	total or partial suspension of production or distribution;
	●	the FDA’s refusal to grant future clearance or pre-market approval for our product candidates;
	●	withdrawal or suspension of marketing clearances or approvals;
	●	clinical holds;
	●	warning letters;
	●	refusal to permit the import or export of our product candidates; and
	●	criminal prosecution of us or our employees.

Any of these actions, in combination or alone, could prevent us from marketing, distributing, or selling our products and would likely harm our business. In addition, a product defect or regulatory violation could lead to a government-mandated or voluntary recall by us. Regulatory agencies in other countries have similar authority to recall devices because of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture that could endanger health. Any recall would divert management attention and financial resources, could expose us to product liability or other claims, including contractual claims from parties to whom we sold products and harm our reputation with customers. A recall involving any of our product candidates would be particularly harmful to our business and financial results and, even if we remedied a particular problem, would have a lasting negative effect on our reputation and demand for our products.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

If we are unable to adequately protect our proprietary technology or obtain and maintain issued patents that are sufficient to protect our product candidates, others could compete against us more directly, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success may depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patents and other intellectual property rights in the United States and elsewhere and protecting our proprietary technologies. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property and proprietary technologies, competitors may be able to use our technologies and erode or negate any competitive advantage we may have, which could harm our business and ability to achieve profitability.

We have filed patent applications for our products and related intellectual property with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and in other jurisdictions. As of the December 31, ~~2024~~2025, we have been granted ~~thirty~~forty-~~nine~~two (3942) patents including ~~eight~~nine (89) in the United States and ~~have~~ have another twenty-~~four~~one (2421) applications in various stages of review including ~~five~~six (56) in the United States].

Our patents may not have, or our pending patent applications that mature into issued patents may not include, claims with a scope sufficient to protect our products, any additional features we develop for our current products or any new products. Other parties may have developed technologies that may be related or competitive to our products, may have filed or may file patent applications and may have received or may receive patents that overlap or conflict with our patent applications, either by claiming the same methods or devices or by claiming subject matter that could dominate our patent position. The patent positions of medical device companies, including our patent position, may involve complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, the scope, validity and enforceability of any patent claims that we may obtain cannot be predicted with certainty. Patents, if issued, may be challenged, deemed unenforceable, invalidated or circumvented. Proceedings challenging our patents could result in either loss of the patent or denial of the patent application or loss or reduction in the scope of one or more of the claims of the patent or patent application. In addition, such proceedings may be costly. Thus, any patents that we may own may not provide any protection against competitors. Furthermore, an adverse decision in an interference proceeding can result in a third party receiving the patent right sought by us, which in turn could affect our ability to commercialize our implant systems.

Furthermore, though an issued patent is presumed valid and enforceable, its issuance is not conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability and it may not provide us with adequate proprietary protection or competitive advantages against competitors with similar products. Competitors may also be able to design around our patents. Other parties may develop and obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods. We may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge or trade secrets by consultants, suppliers, vendors, former employees and current employees. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and we may encounter significant problems in protecting our proprietary rights in these countries. If any of these developments were to occur, they each could have a negative impact on our business and competitive position.

Our ability to enforce our patent rights depends on our ability to detect infringement. It may be difficult to detect infringers who do not advertise the components that are used in their products. Moreover, it may be difficult or impossible to obtain evidence of infringement in a competitor’s or potential competitor’s product. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded if we were to prevail may not be commercially meaningful.

In addition, proceedings to enforce or defend our patents could put our patents at risk of being invalidated, held unenforceable or interpreted narrowly. Such proceedings could also provoke third parties to assert claims against us, including that some or all of the claims in one or more of our patents are invalid or otherwise unenforceable. If any of our patents covering our products are invalidated or found unenforceable, our financial position and results of operations could be negatively impacted. In addition, if a court found that valid, enforceable patents held by third parties covered one or more of our products, our financial position and results of operations could be harmed.

We rely upon unpatented trade secrets, unpatented know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position, which we will seek to protect, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees and our collaborators and consultants. We also have agreements with our employees and selected consultants that obligate them to assign their inventions to us and have non-compete agreements with some, but not all, of our consultants. It is possible that technology relevant to our business will be independently developed by a person that is not a party to such an agreement. Furthermore, if the employees and consultants who are parties to these agreements breach or violate the terms of these agreements, we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach or violation, and we could lose our trade secrets through such breaches or violations. Further, our trade secrets could otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors.

Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various procedures, document submission requirements, fee payments and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, and various foreign governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payments such as maintenance and annuity fee payments and other provisions during the patent procurement process as well as over the life span of an issued patent. There are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, competitors might be able to enter the market earlier than would otherwise have been the case.

We may incur substantial costs as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property rights and we may be unable to protect our rights to, or use of, our technology.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to operate without infringing the intellectual property and proprietary rights of third parties. Our business, product candidates and methods could infringe the patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties.

The medical device industry is characterized by frequent and extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Many medical device companies with substantially greater resources than us have employed intellectual property litigation as a way to gain a competitive advantage. We may become involved in litigation, ~~interference proceedings,~~ oppositions, reexamination, protest or other potentially adverse intellectual property proceedings as a result of alleged infringement by us of the rights of others or as a result of priority of invention disputes with third parties, either in the United States or internationally. We may also become a party to patent infringement claims and litigation ~~or interference proceedings~~ declared by the USPTO to determine the priority of inventions. Third parties may also challenge the validity of any of our issued patents and we may initiate proceedings to enforce our patent rights and prevent others from infringing on our intellectual property rights. Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights or proprietary determinations, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, lengthy governmental proceedings, diversion of our management’s attention and resources, or entrance into royalty or license agreements that are not advantageous to us. In any of these circumstances, we may need to spend significant amounts of money, time and effort defending our position. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.

Even if we are successful in these proceedings, we may incur substantial costs and divert management time and attention in pursuing these proceedings, which could have a material and adverse effect on us. If we are unable to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of others, we may be required to seek a license, defend an infringement action or challenge the validity of intellectual property in court or redesign our product candidates.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities

The trading price of our securities has been and is likely to continue to be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors.

The trading price of our securities has been and is likely to continue to be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, which include:

● whether we achieve our anticipated corporate objectives; ● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results; ● changes in financial or operational estimates or projections; ● the development status of our product candidates and when our product candidates receive regulatory approval if at all; ●(for ~~our execution of our sales and marketing~~example, ~~manufacturing~~receiving ~~and~~a ~~other~~not-approvable ~~aspects~~letter offrom ~~our~~the ~~business~~FDA ~~plan;~~related ~~● performance of third parties on whom we rely~~ to ~~manufacture~~any ~~our~~ product candidate ~~components and product candidates, including their ability to comply with regulatory requirements~~); ● ~~the results of~~ our ~~preclinical~~execution ~~studies and clinical trials; ● results~~ of ~~operations that vary from those of~~ our ~~competitors~~sales and ~~the~~marketing, ~~expectations~~manufacturing ~~of securities analysts~~ and ~~investors; ● our announcement of significant contracts, acquisitions or capital commitments; ● announcements by our competitors of competing products or~~ other ~~initiatives;~~aspects ~~● announcements by third parties~~ of ~~significant claims or proceedings against us; ● regulatory and reimbursement developments in the United States and internationally; ● future sales of~~ our ~~common stock to meet our~~ business ~~requirements~~plan; ● product liability claims; ● healthcare reform measures in the United States and elsewhere; ● additions or departures of key personnel; and ● general economic or political conditions in the United States or elsewhere.

	●	performance of third parties on whom we rely to manufacture our product candidate components and product candidates, including their ability to comply with regulatory requirements;
	●	the results of our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials;
	●	results of operations that vary from those of our competitors and the expectations of securities analysts and investors;
	●	our announcement of significant contracts, acquisitions or capital commitments;
	●	announcements by our competitors of competing products or other initiatives;
	●	announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against us;
	●	regulatory and reimbursement developments in the United States and internationally;
	●	future sales of our common stock to meet our business requirements;
	●	product liability claims;
	●	healthcare reform measures in the United States and elsewhere;
	●	receiving a deficiency notice from Nasdaq;
	●	additions or departures of key personnel; and
	●	general economic or political conditions in the United States or elsewhere.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the stock of medical device companies like ours, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the issuer. These market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

We have issued a significant number of options and warrants and may continue to do so in the future. The vesting and, if applicable, exercise of these securities and the sale of the shares of common stock issuable thereunder may dilute your percentage ownership interest and may also result in downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

As of ~~the~~March ~~date~~24, ~~of this Annual Report~~2026, we have issued and outstanding options to purchase 5181,~~921,699~~996 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $7220.~~17,~~41 ~~400,000 restricted stock units subject to vesting,~~ and warrants to purchase 12177,~~662,953~~921 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $6278.1126. Further, we have ~~828~~38,~~798~~154 shares available for issuance under our Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

The number of shares subject to the Plan is automatically adjusted from time to time when the Company issues additional shares of common stock or securities that are convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock (other than pursuant to the Plan) such that shares authorized under the plan after such issuance shall be equal to at least 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Because the market for our common stock is thinly traded, the sales and/or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, the mere existence of a significant number of shares of common stock issuable upon vesting and, if applicable, exercise of these securities may be perceived by the market as having a potential dilutive effect, which could lead to a decrease in the price of our common stock.

We will need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future, and such capital raising may be costly or difficult to obtain and can be expected to dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests.

We will need to raise additional capital in the future. Such additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. Any future issuance of our equity or equity-backed securities may dilute then-current stockholders’ ownership percentages. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business.

We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes, restricted stock, stock options and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

Future sales or issuances of substantial amounts of our common stock could result in significant dilution.

Any future issuance of our equity or equity-backed securities, including, potentially, the issuance of securities in connection with a merger transaction, may dilute then-current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities, because our assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity. As stated above, we intend to conduct additional rounds of financing in the future and we may need to raise additional capital through public or private offerings of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common stock. We may also issue securities in connection with hiring or retaining employees and consultants (including stock options issued under an equity incentive plan), as payment to providers of goods and services, in connection with future acquisitions or for other business purposes. Our Board of Directors may at any time authorize the issuance of additional common stock without stockholder approval, subject only to the total number of authorized shares of common stock set forth in our articles of incorporation. The terms of equity securities issued by us in future transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include dividend and/or liquidation preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect. Also, the future issuance of any such additional shares of common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of the common stock. There can be no assurance that any such future issuances will not be at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of the common stock are then traded on Nasdaq or other then-applicable over-the-counter quotation system or exchange.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our Common Stock.

While we are currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, we have received deficiency notices in the past and there is no guarantee that we will be able to continue to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq. In the event of a deficiency notice, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and prevent future non-compliance. However, there can be no assurance we would be able to do so. In the event we are unable to do so, our securities may be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so.

Provisions of our charter documents or Delaware law could delay or prevent an acquisition of us, even if the acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders, which could make it more difficult for you to change management.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempt by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult to replace or remove our board of directors. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

	●	a classified board of directors so that not all directors are elected at one time;
	●	a prohibition on stockholder action through written consent;
	●	no cumulative voting in the election of directors;
	●	the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director;
	●	a requirement that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by our chairman of the board, chief executive officer or president, or by a resolution adopted by a majority of our board of directors;
	●	an advance notice requirement for stockholder proposals and nominations;
	●	the authority of our board of directors to issue preferred stock with such terms as our board of directors may determine; and
	●	a requirement of approval of not less than 50% of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote to amend any bylaws by stockholder action, or to amend specific provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

In addition, the Delaware General Corporate Law, or DGCL, prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder, generally a person who, together with its affiliates, owns, or within the last three years has owned, 15% or more of our voting stock, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Accordingly, the DGCL may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company.

Furthermore, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation specifies that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for most legal actions involving actions brought against us by stockholders. We believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of the DGCL by chancellors particularly experienced in resolving corporate disputes, efficient administration of cases on a more expedited schedule relative to other forums and protection against the burdens of multi-forum litigation. However, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, as such, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, and any future loan arrangements we enter into may contain, terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our common stock. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 1C. Cybersecurity ~~Risk~~

Cybersecurity ~~Risk~~

The Company’s cybersecurity risks are theft of intellectual property, theft of other business data, fraud or extortion, lack of access to our information systems, harm to employees, harm to business partners, violation of privacy laws, potential reputational risk, and litigation or other legal risk if a cybersecurity incident were to occur. It is difficult to assign a monetary materiality assessment to these risks or to the impact if the Company were to sustain a breach of its systems. Our approach is based on the premise that any cybersecurity incident could result in material harm to the Company.

Our Audit Committee has been designated with oversight responsibility for cybersecurity risks and our Chief Financial Officer is responsible for managing our efforts in this area. Neither the Chief Financial Officer nor any member of the Audit Committee has relevant expertise in cybersecurity. Rather, the Company retains an outside technical expert to support our information technology systems including addressing cybersecurity risks.

We conduct annual assessments of risks posed by cybersecurity threats in conjunction with our insurance renewal cycles. This includes a thorough review of our systems and vulnerabilities. As a result of these assessments, we have implemented tools and practices to proactively monitor our systems and user accounts including, but not limited to, deploying solutions to constantly monitor users accessing systems, implementation of two factor authentication for logins, and improved rules for password maintenance.

Like many companies, we make use of cloud-based solutions provided by several large service providers for critical information technology infrastructure such as email and file storage. We do not maintain stand-alone servers for our email, file storage or other business applications. In the normal course of our relationships with the providers of these services, we regularly monitor their message boards and other formal and informal communications channels for signs of breaches of their systems. We also survey available public information for indications that they have suffered a breach of their systems.

Certain of our business partners also maintain data related to our trials and ongoing product development on servers they maintain. We require these partners to comply with all HIPAA standards for maintaining security of their systems where this data resides.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K 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” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future performance suggested below.

Overview

The Company’s ~~lead~~first ~~product~~developed is the VenoValve®, which iswas a first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve. ~~that~~On isAugust ~~currently~~19, ~~being evaluated~~2025, inthe Company received a not-approvable letter from the U.S. ~~pivotal~~Food ~~study~~and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in response to its PMA application for the VenoValve. The Company is ~~also~~now ~~developing~~focused aon ~~second~~its next-generation, non-surgical venous valve product, called the enVVe® system. The enVVe System consists of the enVVe Valve, ~~which~~enVVe Delivery System, enVVe Nose Cone, the enVVe Delivery System Accessories, and the enVVe Crimping System. The enVVe Valve is a first-in-class, non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve. ~~The~~being ~~Company~~developed isfor the ~~currently~~treatment ~~conducting~~of ~~pre-clinical~~severe ~~testing on enVVe~~CVI. ~~Both~~The ~~the VenoValve and~~ enVVe ~~are~~Valve is designed to act as a one-way ~~valves~~valve, to help assist in propelling blood up the veins of the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. The Company has completed pre-clinical testing on the enVVe System and has begun discussions with the FDA regarding the enVVe pivotal trial.

~~The~~enVVe ~~VenoValve~~is ~~and enVVe are~~ being developed ~~first~~ for approval by the ~~U.S. Food and Drug Administration (~~FDA). We expect the VenoValve to be eligible for FDA approval first, followed two to three years later by enVVe. If approved, we expect the VenoValve and enVVe to co-exist, with the VenoValve as a surgical replacement venous valve option and enVVe as a non-surgical replacement venous valve option, although we cannot provide any assurance that either ~~the VenoValve or~~ enVVe will receive approval from the FDA (see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). There are currently no devices approved as surgical or non-surgical replacement venous valves, and there are currently no effective treatments for deep venous CVI caused by incompetent valves.

Our team of officers and directors has been affiliated with numerous medical devices that have received FDA approval or CE marking and that have been commercially successful. We develop and manufacture our products in connection with our clinical trials in a 14,507 sq. ft. leased manufacturing facility in Irvine, California, which has been ISO 13485-2016 certified for the design, development and manufacturing of tissue based implantable medical devices.28

Recent Developments

2026 Reverse Stock Split

At the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on December 11, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock, at a ratio between one-for-five (1:5) and one-for-thirty-five (1:35).

On January 2, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved a one-for-thirty-five (1:35) reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On January 16, 2026, the Company filed an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, which became effective on January 20, 2026. The amendment did not change the number of authorized shares of our common stock.

Except as the context otherwise requires, all common stock share numbers, share price amounts (including exercise prices, conversion prices, and closing market prices) and shares issued upon the exercise of warrants contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025 to the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024

Overview

We reported net losses of $19.5 million and $21.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing a decrease in net loss of $2.3 million or 11%, resulting from, as described in further detail below, a decrease in operating expenses of $2.9 million, and a decrease in other income of $0.6 million.

Revenues

As a ~~late-~~developmental stage ~~clinical medical device~~ Company, ~~we are not currently generating revenue and~~ our ~~future~~ revenue, if any, is expected to be diminutive and dependent on our ability to commercialize our product candidates. We ~~will~~are not ~~begin~~currently generating revenue ~~with~~and ~~respect~~do tonot ~~any~~expect ofsignificant ~~our~~revenue ~~product candidates~~ until ~~after~~ we ~~obtain~~successfully ~~FDA~~commercialize ~~approval, if at all.

The commercialization and/or licensing of any of our products may take several years,~~ if ~~it is to occur at all, and depends on our ability to obtain regulatory approval~~ever.

Net Loss

We reported net losses of $21.8 million and $23.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing a decrease in net loss of $1.7 million or 7%, resulting from, as described in further detail below, a decrease in operating expenses of $1.5 million, and an increase in other income of $0.2 million.

Research and Development Expenses

For the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, research and development expenses decreased by $12.42 million or 1019%, to $1210.20 million from $1312.~~6 million~~2 million for the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024.

For the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, other income ~~increased~~decreased $0.36 million to $21.04 million from $12.70 million for the year ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2024 ~~2023~~as a result of the Company holding less U.S. Treasury securities in 2025 than 2024. Other income in both periods reflects ~~realized~~net realized gains, interest, and unrealized ~~gains~~losses from our program to invest excess cash in U.S. Treasury securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, the Company incurred losses from operations of $2320.89 million and used $1615.86 million cash in operating activities. The net cash used in operating activities during ~~2024~~2025 decreased by $2.1.2 million from $1816.98 million for the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024, primarily due to the decrease in research and development expenses from ~~2023~~2024 to ~~2024~~2025. Our cash balance as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, is $13.81 million. In addition, we have $4125.41 million in investments, for total cash and investments of $4328.2 million.

The operating losses and the uses of cash are primarily due to the Company’s product research and development and administrative activities. Administrative functions relate to costs to support the Company’s public reporting and investor relations activities as well as internal administrative functions. Research and development activities ~~are~~were for ~~continued~~ product development and clinical trials for ~~VenoValve~~ the VenoValve and for the enVVe System. The Company will continue to incur these costs to complete its clinical trials for the VenoValve and the enVVe System, enhance products, develop new products, and operate as a public company for the foreseeable future as we seek to obtain regulatory approval for our studies and product candidates.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) during the quarter or year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance ~~that~~ that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the ~~realities~~ realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, ~~controls~~ controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria for effective internal control set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 has not been audited by our auditors, ~~Marcum~~CBIZ ~~LLP~~CPAs P.C.

Dr. Francis Duhay has served as member of our board of directors since October 2018. He is an accomplished heart surgeon, entrepreneur, and corporate executive. Board certified in general (UCSF) and cardiothoracic surgery (Duke), his seminal work in minimally invasive cardiac surgery led to 32 patents for surgical devices used in thousands of heart operations. Dr Duhay left clinical practice for industry in 2008, where he served as Vice President and General Manager of the nascent transcatheter heart valve therapy program (Ascendra) at Edwards Lifesciences (“Edwards”), the world’s leading manufacturer of bioprosthetic heart valves. With European CE Mark, he oversaw growth in sales of transcatheter heart valves from $3M to over $250M within the first four years of commercial launch. Promoted to Vice President of Global Medical & Clinical Affairs, he led planning and execution of four U.S. FDA pivotal clinical trials. He was eventually promoted to Chief Medical Officer, where, in addition to overseeing Global Medical & Clinical Affairs, he supported other areas within Edwards including Health Economics & Reimbursement in its successful application for a procedure code, payment, and coverage of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and Regulatory Affairs, as an industry representative and clinical expert on the ISO 5840:2014 and 5910:2018 cardiac valve working groups. After departing Edwards, he co-founded and led Koa Accel, a major medical device accelerator in the Orange County, CA, ecosystem. This bore three medical device startups – Makani Science (selected into the 2021 cohort of the prestigious Y-Combinator), Kino Discovery (selected into the 2021 cohort of MedTech Innovator), and Kahala Biosciences. Most recently, Dr Duhay served as Senior Vice President of Global Medical & Clinical Affairs for Olympus Corporation, the world’s leading manufacturer of colonoscopes, duodenoscopes, bronchoscopes, and cystoscopes. We believe that Dr. Duhay is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because he is a trained cardiac and thoracic surgeon and former Chief Medical Officer at Edwards Life Sciences.

Dr. Shrivastava received his Bachelor of Engineering degree at the Indian Institute of Technology and a doctorate degree in materials science and engineering from the University of Florida. We believe that Dr. Shrivastava is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because of having served in Chief Executive Officer and board of director positions at several medical device start-ups, and leadership positions in research and development, business development, and marketing at Innova Vascular, Inc., BTG, Medtronic, Abbott Vascular, and Edwards Life Sciences.33

Family Relationships

There are no arrangements between our directors and any other person pursuant to which our directors were nominated or elected for their positions. There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and ten percent stockholders to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock with the Commission. Directors, executive officers and ten percent stockholders are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based upon a review of these filings, we believe that all required Section 16(a) reports were made on a timely basis during fiscal year ~~2024~~2025.

Board Composition

Our business and affairs are organized under the direction of our board of directors, which currently consists of five members. Our directors hold office until the earlier of their death, incapacity, removal or resignation, or until their successors have been elected and qualified. Our board of directors does not have a formal policy on whether the roles of a Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors should be separate. The primary responsibilities of our board of directors are to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling, and direction to our management. Our board of directors meets on a regular basis. Our bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors.

We have no formal policy regarding board diversity. Our priority in selection of board members is identification of members who will further the interests of our stockholders through his or her established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among board members, knowledge of our business and understanding of the competitive landscape.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation divides our board of directors into three classes, with staggered three- (3) year terms, as follows:

Class I Directors (serving until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their earlier death, disability, resignation or removal):

Dr. Francis Duhay* and Dr. Sanjay Shrivastava*

Class II Directors (serving until the ~~2025~~2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their earlier death, disability, resignation or removal):

Matthew M. Jenusaitis*, and Robert A. Berman

Class III Director (serving until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until his earlier death, disability, resignation or removal):

Robert C. Gray*

(*) Independent Director.

At each annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the initial classification, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will serve until the third annual meeting following their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The authorized size of our board of directors is currently five members. The authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed between the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of the board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in our control or management. Our directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our voting stock.

Director Independence

The Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

Under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our board of directors has reviewed the composition of our board of directors and its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our board of directors has determined that each of Dr. Duhay, Mr. Gray, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava is an “independent director” as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Our board of directors also determined that Mr. Gray, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava will serve on our audit committee, Mr. Gray and Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava will serve on our compensation committee, and Dr. Duhay, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava will serve on our nominating and corporate governance committee, and that each of the committees satisfy the independence standards for such committees established by the SEC and the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, as applicable. In making such determinations, our board of directors considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.

Meetings of the Board and Stockholders

Our board of directors met in person and telephonically ~~five~~six (6) times during ~~2024~~2025 and also acted by unanimous written consent. There were four (4) Audit Committee meetings and ~~three~~two (2) Compensation Committee meetings held in ~~2024~~2025. All of the members of our board of directors were present during at least 75% of the board of director meetings and all of the members of the respective committees of the board of of directors were present during at least 75% of such committee meetings held other than ~~Matthew~~Dr. ~~Jenusaitis~~Shrivastava who was present for 6750% of the Audit ~~Compensation~~ Committee meetings. Our board of directors had 100% attendance for the Annual Meeting that was held on December 18 11, ~~2024~~2025. It is our policy that all directors must attend all stockholder meetings, barring extenuating circumstances.

Board Committees

Our board of directors has established three standing committees—audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance—each of which operates under a charter that has been approved by our board of directors. Copies of each committee’s charter are posted on the Investors section of our website, which is located at www.envveno.com. Each committee has the composition and responsibilities described below. Our board of directors may from time to time establish other committees.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Mr. Gray, who is the chair of the audit committee, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of our audit committee satisfies the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and SEC independence requirements. The functions of this committee include, among other things:

	●	evaluating the performance, independence and qualifications of our independent auditors and determining whether to retain our existing independent auditors or engage new independent auditors;
	●	reviewing and approving the engagement of our independent auditors to perform audit services and any permissible non-audit services;
	●	reviewing our annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements and reports, including the disclosures contained under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and discussing the statements and reports with our independent auditors and management;
	●	reviewing with our independent auditors and management significant issues that arise regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentation and matters concerning the scope, adequacy and effectiveness of our financial controls;
	●	reviewing our major financial risk exposures, including the guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and risk management is implemented; and
	●	reviewing our cybersecurity data breach risk and impact, cyber prevention and detection controls, privacy matters, incident response, third-party cyber risk, cyber trends and events, and other cyber topics; and
	●	reviewing and evaluating on an annual basis the performance of the audit committee, including compliance of the audit committee with its charter.

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Gray qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC regulations and meets the financial sophistication requirements of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Both our independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically meet privately with our audit committee.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of Dr. Shrivastava, who is the chair of the committee, Mr. Gray and Mr. Jenusaitis. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of our compensation committee is an outside director, as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and satisfies the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules independence requirements. The functions of this committee include, among other things:

	●	reviewing, modifying and approving (or if it deems appropriate, making recommendations to the full board of directors regarding) our overall compensation strategy and policies;
	●	reviewing and approving the compensation, the performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation, and other terms of employment of our Chief Executive Officers and our other executive officers;
	●	reviewing and approving (or if it deems appropriate, making recommendations to the full board of directors regarding) the equity incentive plans, compensation plans and similar programs advisable for us, as well as modifying, amending or terminating existing plans and programs;
	●	reviewing and approving the terms of any employment agreements, severance arrangements, change in control protections and any other compensatory arrangements for our executive officers;
	●	reviewing with management and approving our disclosures under the caption “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in our periodic reports or proxy statements to be filed with the SEC; and

	●	advising the board and any other board committees if the clawback provisions of Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act (the “Rule”) are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change, with the assistance of management and the audit committee and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the Rule.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Dr. Duhay, who is the chair of the committee, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of this committee satisfies the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules independence requirements. The functions of this committee include, among other things:

	●	identifying, reviewing and evaluating candidates to serve on our board of directors consistent with criteria approved by our board of directors;
	●	evaluating director performance on our board of directors and applicable committees of our board of directors and determining whether continued service on our board of directors is appropriate;
	●	evaluating, nominating and recommending individuals for membership on our board of directors; and
	●	evaluating nominations by stockholders of candidates for election to our board of directors.

Code of Conduct

Our board of directors has adopted a written code of conduct that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We have posted on our website a current copy of the code and all disclosures that are required by law or Nasdaq Marketplace Rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code.

Insider Trading Policy

The Company has adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of the Company’s securities by directors, officers and employees. The policy is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of the Company’s insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K ~~for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024~~.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board of directors is free to select the Chairman of the board of directors and a Chief Executive Officer in a manner that it considers to be in the best interests of our company at the time of selection. Currently, Robert A. Berman serves as our Chief Executive Officer. The office of the Chairman of the board of directors has been vacant since May 2019. We currently believe that this leadership structure is in our best interests and strikes an appropriate balance between our Chief Executive Officer’s responsibility for the day-to-day management of our company and the Chairman of the board of directors’ responsibility to provide oversight, including setting the board of directors’ meeting agendas and presiding at executive sessions of the independent directors. Additionally, four of our five members of our board of directors have been deemed to be “independent” by the board of directors, which we believe provides sufficient independent oversight of our management. Our board of directors has not designated a lead independent director.

Our board of directors, as a whole and also at the committee level, plays an active role overseeing the overall management of our risks. Our Audit Committee reviews risks related to financial and operational items with our management and our independent registered public accounting firm. Our board of directors is in regular contact with our Chief Executive Officer, who reports directly to our board of directors and who supervises day-to-day risk management.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

Our board of directors believes that risk management is an important part of establishing, updating and executing on our business strategy. Our board of directors has oversight responsibility relating to risks that could affect the corporate strategy, business objectives, compliance, operations, and the financial condition and performance of our company. Our board of directors focuses its oversight on the most significant risks facing us and on our processes to identify, prioritize, assess, manage and mitigate those risks. Our board of directors receives regular reports from members of our senior management on areas of material risk to us, including strategic, operational, financial, legal and regulatory risks. While our board of directors has an oversight role, management is principally tasked with direct responsibility for management and assessment of risks and the implementation of processes and controls to mitigate their effects on us.

Certain Legal Proceedings

None of the Company’s directors or executive officers have been involved, in the past ten years and in a manner material to an evaluation of such director’s or officer’s ability or integrity to serve as a director or executive officer, in any of those “Certain Legal Proceedings” more fully detailed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K, which include but are not limited to, bankruptcies, criminal convictions and an adjudication finding that an individual violated federal or state securities laws.

Employee Benefit Plans

Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan

On October 1, 2016, our board of directors and our stockholders adopted and approved the enVVeno Medical Corporation 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and, subsequently, on April 26, 2018, our board of directors and our stockholders adopted and approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan which was subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan following receipt of stockholder approval on December 17, 2020 and by Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan following receipt of stockholder approval on November 30, 2021 (as amended, the “2016 Plan”). The principal features of the 2016 Plan are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2016 Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Equity Award Grant Timing

We generally grant equity awards to our employees and directors in the fourth quarter each calendar year, except in the case of equity awards for new hires which are granted at the board meeting following the acceptance of the employment offer. We do not have a written policy regarding the timing of equity awards, but we do not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information, nor do we time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates.

Share Reserve

We currently have reserved 7220,150~~,497~~ shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2016 Plan, provided, however, if at any time the ~~Company~~ Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or securities that are convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to the Plan) then the number of shares authorized to be awarded under the Plan shall increase to an amount equal to no less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Such increase, if any, shall occur automatically upon each applicable issuance of securities by the Company. All shares available for issuance under the Plan may be granted as incentive stock options under Code Section 422. The shares of common stock issuable under the 2016 Plan will consist of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased on the open market or otherwise, all as determined by our company from time to time.

If any award is cancelled, terminates, expires or lapses for any reason prior to the issuance of shares or if shares are issued under the 2016 Plan and thereafter are forfeited to us, the shares subject to such awards and the forfeited shares will not count against the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2016 Plan. In addition, the following items will not count against the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2016 Plan: (1) shares issued under the 2016 Plan repurchased or surrendered at no more than cost or pursuant to an option exchange program, (2) any award that is settled in cash rather than by issuance of shares of common stock, (3) shares surrendered or tendered in payment of the option price or purchase price of an award or any taxes required to be withheld in respect of an award or (4) awards granted in assumption of or in substitution for awards previously granted by an acquired company.

Administration

The 2016 Plan may be administered by our board of directors or our compensation committee. Our compensation committee, in its discretion, selects the individuals to whom awards may be granted, the time or times at which such awards are granted and the terms and conditions of such awards. Our board of directors also has the authority, subject to the terms of the 2016 Plan, to amend existing options (including to reduce the option’s exercise price), to institute an exchange program by which outstanding options may be surrendered in exchange for options that may have different exercise prices and terms, restricted stock, and/or cash or other property.

Eligibility

Awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan to officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisors of us and our affiliates. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of us or our subsidiaries.

Awards

The 2016 Plan permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards:

● Stock Options. Stock options entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at a specified price (the exercise price), subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option grant. Our compensation committee may grant either incentive stock options, which must comply with Code Section 422, or nonqualified stock options. Our compensation committee sets exercise prices and terms and conditions, except that stock options must be granted with an exercise price not less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (excluding stock options granted in connection with assuming or substituting stock options in acquisition transactions). Unless our compensation committee determines otherwise, fair market value means, as of a given date, the closing price of our common stock. At the time of grant, our compensation committee determines the terms and conditions of stock options, including the quantity, exercise price, vesting periods, term (which cannot exceed 10 years) and other conditions on exercise. ● Stock Appreciation Rights. Our compensation committee may grant SARs, as a right in tandem with the number of shares underlying stock options granted under the 2016 Plan or as a freestanding award. Upon exercise, SARs entitle the holder to receive payment per share in stock or cash, or in a combination of stock and cash, equal to the excess of the share’s fair market value on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR. The grant price of a tandem SAR is equal to the exercise price of the related stock option and the grant price for a freestanding SAR is determined by our compensation committee in accordance with the procedures described above for stock options. Exercise of a SAR issued in tandem with a stock option will reduce the number of shares underlying the related stock option to the extent of the SAR exercised. The term of a freestanding SAR cannot exceed 10 years, and the term of a tandem SAR cannot exceed the term of the related stock option. ● Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards. Our compensation committee may grant awards of restricted stock, which are shares of common stock subject to specified restrictions, and restricted stock units, or RSUs, which represent the right to receive shares of our common stock in the future. These awards may be made subject to repurchase, forfeiture or vesting restrictions at our compensation committee’s discretion. The restrictions may be based on continuous service with us or the attainment of specified performance goals, as determined by our compensation committee. Stock units may be paid in stock or cash or a combination of stock and cash, as determined by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee may also grant other types of equity or equity-based awards subject to the terms and conditions of the 2016 Plan and any other terms and conditions determined by our compensation committee. ● Performance Awards. Our compensation committee may grant performance awards, which entitle participants to receive a payment from us, the amount of which is based on the attainment of performance goals established by our compensation committee over a specified award period. Performance awards may be denominated in shares of common stock or in cash, and may be paid in stock or cash or a combination of stock and cash, as determined by our compensation committee. Cash-based performance awards include annual incentive awards.

	●	Stock Options. Stock options entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at a specified price (the exercise price), subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option grant. Our compensation committee may grant either incentive stock options, which must comply with Code Section 422, or nonqualified stock options. Our compensation committee sets exercise prices and terms and conditions, except that stock options must be granted with an exercise price not less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (excluding stock options granted in connection with assuming or substituting stock options in acquisition transactions). Unless our compensation committee determines otherwise, fair market value means, as of a given date, the closing price of our common stock. At the time of grant, our compensation committee determines the terms and conditions of stock options, including the quantity, exercise price, vesting periods, term (which cannot exceed 10 years) and other conditions on exercise.

	●	Stock Appreciation Rights. Our compensation committee may grant SARs, as a right in tandem with the number of shares underlying stock options granted under the 2016 Plan or as a freestanding award. Upon exercise, SARs entitle the holder to receive payment per share in stock or cash, or in a combination of stock and cash, equal to the excess of the share’s fair market value on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR. The grant price of a tandem SAR is equal to the exercise price of the related stock option and the grant price for a freestanding SAR is determined by our compensation committee in accordance with the procedures described above for stock options. Exercise of a SAR issued in tandem with a stock option will reduce the number of shares underlying the related stock option to the extent of the SAR exercised. The term of a freestanding SAR cannot exceed 10 years, and the term of a tandem SAR cannot exceed the term of the related stock option.

4546

	●	Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards. Our compensation committee may grant awards of restricted stock, which are shares of common stock subject to specified restrictions, and restricted stock units, or RSUs, which represent the right to receive shares of our common stock in the future. These awards may be made subject to repurchase, forfeiture or vesting restrictions at our compensation committee’s discretion. The restrictions may be based on continuous service with us or the attainment of specified performance goals, as determined by our compensation committee. Stock units may be paid in stock or cash or a combination of stock and cash, as determined by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee may also grant other types of equity or equity-based awards subject to the terms and conditions of the 2016 Plan and any other terms and conditions determined by our compensation committee.

	●	Performance Awards. Our compensation committee may grant performance awards, which entitle participants to receive a payment from us, the amount of which is based on the attainment of performance goals established by our compensation committee over a specified award period. Performance awards may be denominated in shares of common stock or in cash, and may be paid in stock or cash or a combination of stock and cash, as determined by our compensation committee. Cash-based performance awards include annual incentive awards.

Clawback

All cash and equity awards granted under the 2016 plan will be subject to all applicable laws regarding the recovery of erroneously awarded compensation pursuant to Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act, any implementing rules and regulations under such laws, any policies we adopted to implement such requirements and any other compensation recovery policies as we may adopt from time to time, including our recently adopted clawback policy that was adopted in accordance with Nasdaq rules.

Change in Control

Under the 2016 Plan, in the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2016 Plan), outstanding awards will be treated in accordance with the applicable transaction agreement. If no treatment is provided for in the transaction agreement, each award holder will be entitled to receive the same consideration that stockholders receive in the change in control for each share of stock subject to the award holder’s awards, upon the exercise, payment or transfer of the awards, but the awards will remain subject to the same terms, conditions and performance criteria applicable to the awards before the change in control, unless otherwise determined by our compensation committee. In connection with a change in control, outstanding stock options and SARs can be cancelled in exchange for the excess of the per share consideration paid to stockholders in the transaction, minus the option or SARs exercise price.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreements, awards granted to non-employee directors will fully vest on an accelerated basis, and any performance goals will be deemed to be satisfied at target. For awards granted to all other service providers, vesting of awards will depend on whether the awards are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity.

	●	For awards that are not assumed, converted or replaced, the awards will vest upon the change in control. For performance awards, the amount vesting will be based on the greater of (1) achievement of all performance goals at the “target” level or (2) the actual level of achievement of performance goals as of our fiscal quarter end preceding the change in control, and will be prorated based on the portion of the performance period that had been completed through the date of the change in control.
	●	For awards that are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity, no automatic vesting will occur upon the change in control. Instead, the awards, as adjusted in connection with the transaction, will continue to vest in accordance with their terms and conditions. In addition, the awards will vest if the award recipient has a separation from service within two years after a change in control by us other than for “cause” or by the award recipient for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable award agreement). For performance awards, the amount vesting will be based on the greater of (1) achievement of all performance goals at the “target” level or (2) the actual level of achievement of performance goals as of our fiscal quarter end preceding the change in control, and will be prorated based on the portion of the performance period that had been completed through the date of the separation from service.

Amendment and Termination of the 2016 Plan

Unless earlier terminated by our board of directors, the 2016 Plan will terminate, and no further awards may be granted, 10 years after ~~October~~April 126, ~~2016~~2018, the date on which it was approved by our stockholders. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2016 Plan at any time, except that, if required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment. The amendment, suspension or termination of the 2016 Plan or the amendment of an outstanding award generally may not, without a participant’s consent, materially impair the participant’s rights under an outstanding award.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the DGCL. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for any of the following:

	●	any breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
	●	acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
	●	unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or
	●	any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers and may indemnify our other officers and employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our amended and restated bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in this capacity, regardless of whether our amended and restated bylaws would permit indemnification. We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in our amended and restated bylaws. These agreements, among other things, provide for indemnification of our directors and executive officers for expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by this person in any action or proceeding arising out of this person’s services as a director or executive officer or at our request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

The above description of the indemnification provisions of our amended and restated bylaws and our indemnification agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and may be unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

Director Compensation

The Board determines the form and amount of director compensation after its review of recommendations made by the Compensation Committee. A substantial portion of each director’s annual retainer is in the form of equity. Under the Company’s nonemployee director compensation program members of the Board who are not also Company employees (“Non-Employee Directors”) are granted options worth up to thirty-seven thousand five hundred dollars ($37,500) per annum (the “Annual Award”). A Non-Employee Director who is newly appointed to the Board other than in connection with an annual meeting of stockholders will generally receive a grant of two thousand four hundred (2,400) options and RSUs worth up to seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000) upon appointment (an “Initial Award”), which covers their compensation for their first three years of service. The Initial Award and Annual Award to Non-Employee Directors will vest as long as they remain directors in equal annual portions over three years following the date on which the award is granted.

ITEM 12.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table lists, as of ~~February~~March 2624, ~~2025~~2026, the number of shares of common stock of our Company that are beneficially owned by (i) ~~each~~ each person or entity known to our Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each officer ~~and~~ and director of our Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 17,536,000 shares of common stock outstanding as the date of this Form 10-K. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting or dispositive power with respect to such securities. In addition, pursuant to such rules, we deemed outstanding shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of February 26, 2025. We did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the beneficial owners named in the table below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all shares of our common stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

~~Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd~~None.

Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd. (“Perceptive”), a holder of greater than 5% of our Common Stock based on the Schedule 13G/A filed by Perceptive on November 14, 2024, participated as an investor in a financing with the Company pursuant to a purchase agreement that was executed on October 6, 2023. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Perceptive purchased pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 861,192 shares of Common Stock, Tranche A Warrants (the “Tranche A Warrants”) to purchase 861,192 shares of Common Stock, and Tranche B Warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants”) to purchase 861,192 shares of Common Stock for a combined purchase price per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Tranche A Warrant and Tranche B Warrant of $5.8059.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Further, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers, and we intend to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances. For further information, see “Executive Compensation—Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters.”

To the best of our knowledge, during the past two fiscal years, other than as set forth above, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we were or are to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of (A) $120,000 or (B) one percent of our average total assets at year -end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any director or executive officer, or any security holder who is known by us to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, has an interest (other than compensation to our officers and directors in the ordinary course of business).

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

All future transactions between us and our officers, directors or five percent stockholders, and respective affiliates will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and will be approved by a majority of our independent directors who do not have an interest in the transactions and who had access, at our expense, to our legal counsel or independent legal counsel.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the ~~Shareholders~~Stockholders and Board of Directors of

enVVeno Medical Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance ~~sheets~~sheet of enVVeno Medical Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, ~~2024~~ ~~and 2023~~2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for ~~each of~~ the ~~two~~ ~~years~~year ~~in the period~~ ended December 31, ~~2024,~~2025 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our ~~audits~~audit, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023, and~~ the results of its operations and its cash flows for ~~each of~~ the ~~two~~year ~~years in the period~~ ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited the adjustment to the 2024 consolidated financial statements for the reverse stock split described in Note 1. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2024 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the reverse stock split and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2024 financial statements taken as a whole.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our ~~audits~~audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our ~~audits~~audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the ~~audits~~audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our ~~audits~~ audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our ~~audits~~ audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our ~~audits~~audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our ~~audits provide~~audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

enVVeno Medical Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited, before the effects of the retrospective adjustments for the impact of the reverse stock split as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements (the “Reverse Stock Split Adjustments”), the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of enVVeno Medical Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) (the 2024 financial statements before the effects of the Reverse Stock Split Adjustments). In our opinion, based on our audit, the financial statements, before the effects of the Reverse Stock Split Adjustments, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the Reverse Stock Split Adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those retrospective adjustments were audited by CBIZ CPAs P.C.

2026 Reverse Stock Split

At the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on December 11, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock, at a ratio between one-for-five (1:5) and one-for-thirty-five (1:35).

On January 2, 2026, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved a one-for-thirty-five (1:35) reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On January 16, 2026, the Company filed an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, which became effective on January 20, 2026. The amendment did not change the number of authorized shares of our common stock.

Except as the context otherwise requires, all common stock share numbers, share price amounts (including exercise prices, conversion prices, and closing market prices) and shares issued upon the exercise of warrants contained in the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Note 2 – Management’s Liquidity Plan

As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, the Company had a cash balance of $13.81 million, investments of $4125.41 million and working capital of $4126.7 million. Although the Company expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to sustain its operations, pursue its product development initiatives and penetrate markets for the sale of its products, Management believes that our capital resources are sufficient to meet our obligations as they become due within one year after the date of this Annual Report.

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investments

We consider all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values. Investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities beyond one year are classified as long-term investments.

Debt investments are classified as trading securities and realized gains and losses are recorded using the specific identification method. Changes in fair value, excluding credit losses and impairments, are recorded in unrealized gains (losses) from investments. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, and the extent to which the fair value is less than cost. We recognize interest income based on the stated coupon rate of the investments purchased.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of (a) the useful life of the asset; or (b) the remaining lease term. 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.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.

ENVVENO MEDICAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.F-9

For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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.

FASB 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 trading in active markets.

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.

Financial instruments, including accounts payable are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Net Loss per Share

The Company computes basic and diluted loss per share by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period including warrants exercisable for little or no cash consideration. Basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same since the inclusion of common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants and options, would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has an Equity Incentive Plan under which the Board of Directors may grant restricted stock or stock options to employees and nonemployees. The accounting treatment for ~~share~~stock-based payments to employees and non-employees is substantially equivalent.

~~Share~~Stock-based compensation cost is recorded for all option grants and awards of non-vested stock based on the grant date fair value of the award, and is recognized over the service period required for the award.

The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based option valuation model. For the expected term, the Company uses SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 simplified method for “plain vanilla” options with following characteristics: (i) the share options are granted at the market price on the grant date; (ii) exercisability is conditional on performing service through the vesting date on most options; (iii) if an employee terminates service prior to vesting, the employee would forfeit the share options; (iv) if an employee terminates service after vesting, the employee would have 30 to 90 days to exercise the share options; and (v) the share options are nontransferable and nonhedgeable.

F-10

The Company uses its stock’s historical market information to calculate volatility used in estimating fair value of options granted. The volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock with an equivalent remaining expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining expected term. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of future dividend payouts on the common stock.

For option grants without performance conditions, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period ratably, recognizing expense for each tranche of each grant starting on the grant date. For grants that have both service and performance conditions, the Company recognizes compensation expense using the graded attribution method. Compensation expense for grants with performance conditions is recognized only for those awards expected to vest.

Forfeitures of unvested stock options are recorded when they occur.

Loss Contingencies

The Company will accrue an estimated loss if information available before the consolidated financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In ~~November~~December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-0709, ~~Segment~~Income ~~Reporting~~Taxes (Topic ~~280)—~~740 – Improvements to ~~Reportable~~Income ~~Segment~~Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-0709).

We adopted ASU 2023-09 effective on January 1, as2025, ~~amended~~and have prospectively applied it to all periods presented.

These segment disclosures include significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment loss, disclosure of other segment items by reportable segment and a description of the segment’s composition, disclosures about our reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required, disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. We adopted ASU 2023-07 effective on January 1, 2024, and have retrospectively applied it to all periods presented. There was no impact on our financial statements from its adoption.

Recent Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740 – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09). ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires enhanced disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (ASU 2024-03). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The objective of the disclosure requirements is to provide disaggregated information to help financial statement users (a) better understand the Company’s performance, (b) better assess the Company’s prospects for future cash flows, and (c) compare the Company’s performance over time and with that of other entities. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.” Realization of any future tax benefit is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Because of the Company’s history of operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above listed future tax benefits is currently not more likely than not to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $5.4 million and $5.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.F-14

Stock options granted under the 2016 Plan may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, except that stock options granted to outside directors and any consultants or advisers providing services to the Company or an affiliate shall in all cases be non-qualified stock options. The option price must be at least 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant and if issued to a 10% or greater shareholder must be 110% of the fair market value on the date of the grant.

The 2016 Plan is to be administered by the Board, which has discretion over the awards and grants thereunder. No awards may be issued after ~~November~~April 2126, ~~2026~~2028.

The number of shares authorized to be issued under the Plan is automatically adjusted from time to time when the Company issues ~~additional~~ additional shares of common stock or securities that are convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock (other than pursuant to the Plan) such that shares authorized under the plan after such issuance shall be equal to at least 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 there are ~~approximately~~220,150 ~~7.2 million~~ shares authorized to be issued and 33,678 remaining available for future issuance under the Plan.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black Scholes method. The following assumptions were used in estimating fair value:

	2024			2023
	2025			2024
Expected term		5.50 – 6.5 years			5.5 – 6.5 years
Volatility		8987 – 91100	%		9289 – 9491	%

2026 Reverse Stock Split

On December 11, 2025, the Company completed its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders, among other things, granted authority to the Company’s Board of Directors to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of between one-for-five and one-for-thirty-five, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and with such reverse stock split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

On January 20, 2026, the Company effected a one-for-thirty-five (1:35) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every thirty-five (35) shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock was automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded down to the nearest whole share and remitted cash payments in lieu of fractional shares. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding was reduced from 22,946,223 shares to 655,606 shares.

Pursuant to their terms, proportional adjustments were also made to the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants such that the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such securities were reduced by a factor of 35 and the exercise prices of such securities were increased by a factor of 35 (by way of example, if prior to the Reverse Stock Split there was an outstanding warrant to purchase 3,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, such warrant has now been adjusted following the Reverse Stock Split and is now a warrant to purchase 100 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.50). The number of authorized shares of Common Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation will remain unchanged at 250,000,000 shares.

Nasdaq Minimum Price Bid Compliance

Nasdaq confirmed that for the 10 consecutive business days, from January 20, 2026 through February 2, 2026, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was at or above $1.00, and as a result, the matter was closed.
