Material Changes and Strategic Developments

Lock-Up Provisions: The Company agreed to a 90-day lock-up period from the closing date, restricting the issuance of additional common stock or equivalents, with limited exceptions.
Guidance, Outlook, and Use of Proceeds
Use of Proceeds: Net proceeds from the $6 million offering are designated for:
- Scaling operations to serve Medicare Part B patients.
- Hiring approximately 50 employees over the next six months to bolster clinical, reimbursement, and manufacturing capacity.
- General corporate purposes, including working capital, inventory purchases, capital expenditures, R&D, and sales/marketing.
Outlook: Management anticipates increased volume from Medicare Part B beneficiaries following the CMS coverage decision.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Closing Conditions: The offering is expected to close on or about January 19, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
- Dilution: The issuance of new shares and warrants will result in dilution to existing shareholders.
