FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Proxy Statement contains various forward-looking statements that are not historical facts. These forwardlooking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “budget,” “target,” “aim,” “strategy,” “estimate,” “plan,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements reflect the Company and management’s beliefs and expectations based on current estimates and projections. While the Company believes these expectations, and the estimates and projections on which they are based, are reasonable and were made in good faith, these statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause the Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which include, but are not limited to, the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to correct, update, or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports to the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in such disclosures and in our reports to the SEC.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND REORGANIZATION TRANSACTIONS

Prior to the consummation of our U.S. initial public offering (the “IPO”), we completed a series of reorganization transactions (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to which we received all of the issued and outstanding shares of Anteris Technologies Pty Ltd (formerly Anteris Technologies Ltd) (“ATPL”), which was formerly an Australian public company originally registered in Western Australia, Australia and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”), pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Australian law between ATPL and its shareholders (the “Scheme”) under Part 5.1 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the “Corporations Act”). Contemporaneously with implementation of the Scheme, ATPL also cancelled all existing options it had on issue in exchange for our company issuing replacement options to acquire Common Stock pursuant to a scheme of arrangement between ATPL and its optionholders (the “Option Scheme”) under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act. The Scheme was approved by ATPL’s shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders, which was held on December 3, 2024. The Option Scheme was approved by ATPL’s optionholders at a general meeting of optionholders held on the same day. ATPL obtained approval of the Scheme and the Option Scheme by the Supreme Court of Queensland on December 4, 2024. As a result of the Reorganization, ATPL became a wholly owned subsidiary of our company and the shareholders of ATPL immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO became holders of either one share of Common Stock for every ordinary share of ATPL or one CDI for every one ordinary share of ATPL for each share held as of the record date.

CDI holders are not eligible to vote during the Annual Meeting, whether attending in person or virtually.

Why did I receive a full set of these materials, instead of a notice regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials?

We are using the “Full Set Delivery” method of providing proxy materials to stockholders. Because we have elected to utilize the “Full Set Delivery” option, we are delivering to all stockholders of record paper copies of the Proxy Statement and form of proxy card, as well as providing access to those proxy materials on a publicly accessible website. The Proxy Statement, form of proxy card, and the other Annual Meeting materials are available on the internet at www.proxyvote.com.

Can I ask questions at the Annual Meeting?

There will be a designated portion of the Annual Meeting where all in-person attendees and certain virtual attendees can ask questions. For virtual attendees, only registered stockholders as of the Record Date who have accessed our Annual Meeting online as a stockholder (rather than as a “guest”) will have an opportunity to submit written questions live via the Internet during the meeting.

be accepted, will be posted on the Annual Meeting website. To ensure the orderly conduct of the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to submit questions in advance. If we receive substantially similar questions, we will group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition.

If attending virtually, stockholders must have available their control number provided on their proxy card to ask questions during the meeting. If you are not a stockholder or do not have a control number (including holders of CDIs), you may still access the meeting online as a guest, but you will not be able to submit questions during the meeting.

What if I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the Annual Meeting through the virtual platform?

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the meeting through the virtual platform.

Who is entitled to vote?

As of the Record Date, 38,409,506 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. Only holders of record of our Common Stock as of the Record Date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of our Common Stock held by such stockholder on the Record Date. No cumulative voting rights are authorized.

CDI holders may vote in advance of the Annual Meeting by instructing CDN to vote on their behalf by either completing and signing their CDI Voting Instruction Form or logging on to www.investorvote.com.au and entering the 6-digit control number found on their CDI Voting Instruction Form. CDI holders are not eligible to vote during the Annual Meeting, whether attending in person or virtually.

What does it mean to be a holder of CDIs?

CDIs are issued by the Company through CDN and traded on the ASX. If you own CDIs, then you are the beneficial owner of one share of Common Stock for every one CDI that you own. CDN, or its custodian, is considered the stockholder of record for the purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct CDN, or its custodian, as to how to vote the shares of Common Stock underlying your CDIs, and you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, because you are not a stockholder, if you personally want to vote the shares of Common Stock underlying your CDIs at the Annual Meeting, you must inform CDN via the CDI Voting Instruction Form that you wish to nominate yourself (or another person) to be appointed as CDN’s proxy for the purposes of attending and voting at the Annual Meeting.

Under the rules governing CDIs, CDN is not permitted to vote on your behalf on any matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting unless you specifically instruct CDN how to vote. We encourage you to communicate your voting instructions to CDN in advance of the Annual Meeting to ensure that your vote will be counted by either completing your CDI Voting Instruction Form and returning it in accordance with the instructions specified on that form or logging on to www.investorvote.com.au and entering the 6-digit control number found on your CDI Voting Instruction Form.

If you are a CDI holder and plan to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, you may still access the live webcast as a guest, but you will not be able to electronically vote or submit questions at the meeting.

How do I vote in advance of the Annual Meeting?

If you are a holder of record of shares of Common Stock of the Company, you may direct your vote without attending the Annual Meeting by following the instructions on the proxy card to vote by Internet or by telephone, or by signing, dating, and mailing a proxy card.

CDI holders may only vote in advance of the Annual Meeting and must instruct CDN to vote on their behalf either by completing and signing their CDI Voting Instruction Form or logging on to www.investorvote.com.au and entering the 6-digit control number found on their CDI Voting Instruction Form. See “How do I vote if I hold CDIs?”

If you hold your shares or CDIs in street name via a broker or other intermediary, you should receive notice from your broker, bank, or other nominee and should follow such nominee’s applicable voting instructions. If you receive a voting instruction card, you may direct your vote by signing, dating, and mailing the card. Internet or telephonic voting may also be available. Please see the notice or voting instruction card provided by your applicable nominee or contact them for further details.

How do I vote during the Annual Meeting?

Shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted, if you are attending the Annual Meeting, either in person or by entering the 15-digit control number found on your proxy card when you log in to the meeting online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AVR2025.

10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shares held in street name through a brokerage account or by a broker, bank, or other nominee may only be voted at the Annual Meeting by submitting voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee or by presenting a legal proxy, issued in your name from the record holder (your bank, broker or other nominee).

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote in advance, as described above under “How do I vote in advance of the Annual Meeting?” so that your vote will be counted if you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting.

CDI holders are not considered stockholders and therefore may not vote at the Annual Meeting, whether attending in person or virtually, unless they instruct CDN to appoint themselves as CDN’s proxy for purposes of attending and voting at the Annual Meeting, as described above under “What does it mean to be a holder of CDIs?”. CDI holders may vote in advance of the Annual Meeting by instructing CDN to vote on their behalf by either completing and signing their CDI Voting Instruction Form or logging on to www.investorvote.com.au and entering the 6-digit control number found on their CDI Voting Instruction Form.

How do I vote if I hold CDIs?

Each CDI holder is entitled to direct CDN to vote one vote for every one CDI held by such holder on the Record Date. Persons holding CDIs are entitled to receive notice of and to attend the Annual Meeting, either virtually or in person as guests, but cannot vote during the Annual Meeting.

To vote in advance of the Annual Meeting, holders of CDIs must direct CDN to vote their underlying shares of Common Stock by either (i) completing and returning a CDI Voting Instruction Form to Computershare, the agent the Company has designated for the collection and processing of voting instructions from the Company’s CDI holders, or (ii) logging on to www.investorvote.com.au and entering the 6-digit control number found on their CDI Voting Instruction Form. CDI Voting Instruction Forms must be received by Computershare by no later than 5:00 p.m. Central time on Sunday, November 30, 2025 (being 9:00 a.m. AEST on Monday, December 1, 2025) in accordance with the instructions on the CDI Voting Instruction Form. Online votes submitted via the Internet at www.investorvote.com.au must also be cast by no later than 5:00 p.m. Central time on Sunday, November 30, 2025 (being 9:00 a.m. AEST on Monday, December 1, 2025).

If you hold your CDIs in street name, you should receive notice from your broker, bank, or other nominee and should follow such nominee’s applicable voting instructions. If you receive a voting instruction card, you may direct your vote by signing, dating, and mailing the card. Internet or telephonic voting may also be available. Please see the notice or voting instruction card provided by your applicable nominee or contact them for further details.

Because CDI holders are not considered stockholders, if you personally want to vote the shares of Common Stock underlying your CDIs at the Annual Meeting, you must inform CDN via the CDI Voting Instruction Form that you wish to nominate yourself (or another person) to be appointed as CDN’s proxy for the purposes of attending and voting at the Annual Meeting. Otherwise, if you attend the Annual Meeting, whether in person or virtually, you will be considered a guest and will not be able to vote during the meeting.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy or CDI Voting Instruction Form?

You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record (not including a CDI holder), you may change your vote or revoke your proxy by:

  • delivering a written notice of revocation of your proxy to the attention of the Secretary at the address included herein in the section titled “Stockholder Communications”;

  • delivering to us an authorized proxy bearing a later date (including a proxy over the Internet or by telephone); or

  • attending the Annual Meeting and voting, as indicated above under “How do I vote during the Annual Meeting?”, but note that attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other nominee, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker, or other nominee. Please note that if your shares are held of record by a bank, broker, or other nominee and you decide to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, your vote at the Annual Meeting will not be effective unless you present a legal proxy, issued in your name from the record holder (your bank, broker, or other nominee).

11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you are a holder of CDIs, you may change your vote by:

  • delivering to Computershare a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the CDI Voting Instruction Form previously sent, which notice must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. Central time on Sunday, November 30, 2025 (being 9:00 a.m. AEST on Monday, December 1, 2025);

  • delivering to Computershare a new CDI Voting Instruction Form bearing a later date than your previous electronic vote or CDI Voting Instruction Form, which form must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. Central time on Sunday, November 30, 2025 (being 9:00 a.m. AEST on Monday, December 1, 2025); or

  • submitting a new vote via the Internet at www.investorvote.com.au by logging on and entering the 6-digit control number found on your CDI Voting Instruction Form, which vote must be cast by no later than 5:00 p.m. Central time on Sunday, November 30, 2025 (being 9:00 a.m. AEST on Monday, December 1, 2025).

If your CDIs are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other nominee, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker, or other nominee.

What is a broker non-vote?

Brokers, banks, or other nominees holding shares on behalf of a beneficial owner (other than CDN) may vote those shares in their discretion on certain “routine” matters even if they do not receive timely voting instructions from the beneficial owner. With respect to “non-routine” matters, the broker, bank, or other nominee is not permitted to vote shares for a beneficial owner without timely received voting instructions. The only routine matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting is Proposal Two. Each of the other proposals are non-routine matters.

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank, or other nominee does not vote on a nonroutine matter because the beneficial owner of such shares has not provided voting instructions with regard to such matter. A broker, bank, or other nominee may exercise its discretionary voting authority on Proposal Two because Proposal Two is a routine matter, and as such, there will be no broker non-votes on Proposal Two. Broker non-votes may occur as to the other proposals or any other nonroutine matters that are properly presented at the Annual Meeting. The effect of broker non-votes on each of the other proposals is described below.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Your shares are counted as being present if you participate either in person or virtually at the Annual Meeting and cast your vote during the meeting prior to the closing of the polls, or if you vote by proxy via the Internet, by telephone, or by returning a properly executed and dated proxy card or voting instruction form by mail.

If you hold your shares in street name via a broker, bank, or other nominee and do not provide the broker, bank, or other nominee with voting instructions (including by signing and returning a blank voting instruction card), your shares:

  • will be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum;

  • will be voted in accordance with the broker’s, bank’s, or other nominee’s discretion on “routine” matters, which is the proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 (Proposal Two); and

  • will not be counted in connection with the other proposals or any other non-routine matters that are properly presented at the Annual Meeting. For each of these proposals, your shares will be treated as “broker non-votes.”

Our Board knows of no matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than proposals identified in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting upon which a vote properly may be taken, shares represented by all proxies received by us will be voted with respect thereto as permitted and in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holders.

Who is making this solicitation and who will pay the expenses?

This proxy solicitation is being made on behalf of our Board. The Company will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, our employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or facsimile, but they will not receive additional compensation for these services. Arrangements may be made with brokerage houses, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to send proxy materials to their principals, and we may reimburse them for their expenses.

A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for inspection by stockholders for any purpose germane to the meeting for 10 business days prior to the Annual Meeting, at Anteris Technologies Global Corp., Toowong Tower, Level 3, Suite 302, 9 Sherwood Road, Toowong QLD 4066, Australia between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. AEST. The stockholder list will also be available to stockholders of record for examination during the Annual Meeting at either the registration table for the Annual Meeting at the InterContinental Brisbane, 190 Elizabeth Street, Brisbane, Queensland 4000 Australia, or online at

www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AVR2025. To access the stockholder list online, you will need the control number included on your proxy card, or voting instruction form, or otherwise provided by your bank, broker, or other nominee.

What is “householding” and how does it affect me?

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, we send only one set of proxy materials to eligible stockholders who share a single address, unless we have received instructions to the contrary from any stockholder at that address. This practice is designed to eliminate duplicate

17

mailings, conserve natural resources, and reduce our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

If your shares are held beneficially and you share an address with another stockholder and receive only one set of proxy materials but would like to request a separate copy of these materials, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., by calling (866) 540-7095 or writing to Broadridge Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, and an additional copy of proxy materials will be promptly delivered to you.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

PROPOSAL ONE – ELECTION OF CLASS I DIRECTORS

Our Charter and Bylaws provide for a classified Board of Directors. There are three classes of directors, with each class of directors serving three-year terms that end in successive years. We currently have authorized six directors. Our Charter and Bylaws will not limit the number of terms a member may be re-elected as a director.

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will vote on the election of each of John Seaberg and Gregory Moss (the “Nominees”) as Class I directors, each for a three-year term and until the election and qualification of his respective successor in office, or until the earlier of his respective death, resignation, disqualification or removal. The proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them “FOR” the Nominees unless otherwise instructed. In the event that the Nominees are unable or decline to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who may be designated by our current Board to fill the vacancy. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, our Board is not aware that either of the Nominees are unable or will decline to serve as a director. The two Nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors. Proxies cannot be voted for more than one individual.

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 requires that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual meeting. Further, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a director must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual meeting following their appointment or three years, whichever is longer.

Each of Mr. Seaberg and Mr. Moss has agreed to serve, if elected, until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders and until his respective successor has been duly elected and qualified or until the earlier of his respective death, resignation, disqualification or removal. There are no family relationships between or among any of Mr. Seaberg, Mr. Moss, our executive officers, or our continuing directors. Each of Mr. Seaberg and Mr. Moss was evaluated in accordance with our standard review process for director candidates in connection with their nomination for election at the Annual Meeting.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Nominees and our other current directors who will continue in office after the Annual Meeting and information with respect to their ages and positions held with our company as of the date of this Proxy Statement:

We believe this cross-section of capabilities enables our Board to help guide our objectives and leading corporate governance practices. More detailed biographical descriptions of the Nominees and each continuing director are set forth below.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

Our Board oversees the management of the business and affairs of the Company and serves as the ultimate decisionmaking body of the Company, except for those matters reserved to our stockholders. Our Board oversees the Company’s management team, to whom it has delegated responsibility for the Company’s day-to-day operations. While our Board’s oversight role is broad and may concentrate on different areas from time to time, its primary areas of focus are strategy, oversight, governance and compliance, as well as assessing management.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors currently consists of six members. Our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Seaberg, Moss, and Roberts qualify as independent directors in accordance with the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules (the “NASDAQ Listing Rules”). Our Board has further determined that Messrs. Seaberg and Roberts qualify as independent directors under NASDAQ Listing Rules applicable to membership on our Audit and Risk Committee. In addition, our Board has determined that each of the members of our Audit and Risk Committee is “financially literate” pursuant to the NASDAQ Listing Rules, and that each of Messrs. Denaro and Roberts is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in applicable SEC rules. Mr. Paterson and Mr. St Denis are not considered independent by virtue of their positions as Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the company. Mr. Denaro is not considered independent by virtue of his past position as Company Secretary of the Company’s predecessor entity and his continued services to the Company and controlled entities for which he receives a fee.

Under applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules, all committee members must satisfy the applicable NASDAQ independence requirements within one year of the listing of our Common Stock on NASDAQ. In addition, a majority of the directors serving on our Board will be required to be independent within one year of the listing of our Common Stock on NASDAQ.

In addition, our Board has determined that Mr. Denaro is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the SEC’s rules and regulations.

Our Audit and Risk Committee is directly responsible for, among other things:

  • appointing, retaining, compensating and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • reviewing proposed waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics”) for directors and executive officers;

  • overseeing the process of evaluating the performance of our Board; and

  • assisting our Board on corporate governance matters.

Process for Nominating Potential Director Candidates

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening and interviewing individuals qualified to become members of our Board and recommending qualified candidates for election by the stockholders consistent with the criteria set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. In recommending nominees for director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates who have a high level of personal and professional integrity, strong ethics and values and the ability to make mature business judgments. Additional criteria that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board may consider are:

  • the candidate’s experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company;

  • the candidate’s experience as a board member of another publicly held company, including those duallisted in the United States and Australia;

  • the candidate’s professional and academic experience relevant to the Company’s industry;

  • the strength of the candidate’s leadership skills;

  • the candidate’s experience in finance and accounting and/or executive compensation practices;

  • whether the candidate has the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at Board meetings and committee meetings, if applicable; and

  • the diversity of viewpoints, background, experience and other characteristics.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers all candidates equally. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the background and qualifications of each nominee to ensure that our Board has the requisite expertise and that its membership consists of persons with sufficiently diverse and independent backgrounds (taking into account the enhanced independence, financial literacy and financial expertise standards that may be required under law, NASDAQ rules or the ASX rules).

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee values the input of stockholders in identifying director candidates. Accordingly, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a specific policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers recommendations for Board candidates submitted by stockholders using substantially the same criteria as it applies to recommendations from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, directors and members of management. Any such nominations should be submitted to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in line with the instructions provided in this Proxy Statement under the heading “When are stockholder proposals due for the 2026 Annual Meeting of the stockholders?” and in compliance with other specific procedural requirements set forth in our Bylaws.

Additional Information

Each committee is at all times authorized under its charter to have direct, independent and confidential access to our other directors, management and personnel to carry out the committee’s purposes. Each committee is authorized to conduct or authorize investigations into any matters relating to the purposes, duties or responsibilities of the committee.

Each committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of legal counsel, compensation or other consultants and other advisers. We must provide for appropriate funding, as determined by each committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to any legal counsel, compensation or other consultant or other adviser retained by the committee.

Corporate Governance Matters

Our Board believes sound corporate governance processes and practices, as well as high ethical standards, are critical to handling challenges and to achieving business success. We embrace leading governance practices and also conduct ongoing reviews of our governance structure and processes to reflect stockholder input and changing circumstances. Below are highlights of our corporate governance practices and principles.

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that outline our corporate governance policies and practices, which is available on our website at https://anteristech.com/investors/corporate-governance.html.

Board Leadership Structure

The current Chairman of our Board is John Seaberg, who is an independent director under NASDAQ listing standards and for the purposes of the 4[th] Edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. The roles of Chairman of our Board and Chief Executive Officer are separate. Our Board believes that the separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus primarily on our business strategy, operations, and corporate vision.

Risk Oversight

While management is responsible for assessing and managing risks to the Company on a day-to-day basis, our Board oversees management’s efforts to assess and manage risk. Our Board (in conjunction particularly with the Audit and Risk Committee) monitors and receives advice on areas of operational and financial risk and considers strategies for appropriate risk management arrangements. Specific areas of risk which are periodically considered at meetings of our Board include financial management, information technology, people and culture, intellectual property, regulatory (medical), legal, manufacturing, legal and organizational transformation. Additional areas of focus for our Board include, but are not limited to:

  • managing the Company’s long-term growth;

  • strategic and operational planning, including significant acquisitions and the evaluation of the Company’s capital structure; and

  • legal and regulatory compliance.

More broadly, risks are considered in virtually every business decision and process and as part of the Company’s overall business strategy. While our Board has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the Company’s risk management policies and processes, the committees of our Board also have responsibility for risk oversight. As noted above, the Company’s Audit and Risk Committee assists our Board in overseeing our risk assessment and management processes related to, among other things, our financial reports and record-keeping, financial risk exposures, and cybersecurity risk, and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our compensation policies and practices, including policies providing for the recovery of incentive or equity-based compensation and limiting hedging activities related to Company stock. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for risk oversight associated with corporate governance practices, the composition of our Board and its committees, and environmental, social and governance matters.

Our Board stays informed of each committee’s risk oversight and other activities via regular reports of the committee chairs to the full Board. Our Boards’ role in risk oversight is consistent with the Company’s leadership structure, with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company’s risk exposure, and our Board and committees providing oversight in connection with those efforts.

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

The operation of our business depends on our information technology systems. We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage sales and marketing data, accounting and financial functions, inventory management, product development tasks, clinical data, customer service and technical support functions. Our information technology infrastructure and products are vulnerable to cyber-based attacks. Cyber-based attacks can include computer viruses, denial-of-service attacks, phishing attacks, ransomware attacks and other introduction

26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of malware to computers and networks; unauthorized access through the use of compromised credentials; exploitation of design flaws, bugs or security vulnerabilities; intentional or unintentional acts by employees or other insiders with access privileges; and intentional acts of vandalism by third parties and sabotage.

We have developed and implemented a risk-based program focused on cybersecurity measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information.

Our cybersecurity risk management is integrated into our overall risk management framework, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas.

The Audit and Risk Committee periodically reviews and discusses with management the Company’s policies and internal controls with respect to cybersecurity. Our Senior Group Technology Manager (“SGTM”) (who has over 20 years of experience in information technology roles and holds various industry certifications) reports to the Chief Financial Officer and together report to the Audit and Risk Committee periodically on cybersecurity matters. The Audit and Risk Committee reports through to our Board.

In addition to the annual security assessment and penetration test, the SGTM utilizes an Endpoint Detection and Response system which acts as Anti-virus and intrusion prevention system and reports all abnormalities to the SGTM. Essential Eight and Center for Internet Security Control Strategies including patch applications, multi-factor authentication, administrative privileges, application hardening and backups are performed internally via a security consultant with regular updates provided to the SGTM. Reported findings and action items are recorded and assigned to personnel for action.

Any failure to protect our information technology infrastructure and our products against cyber-based attacks, network security breaches, service interruptions or data corruption could materially disrupt our operations and harm our business.

Our cybersecurity risk management program includes:

  • periodic risk assessments;

  • annual security assessment and penetration testing;

  • a third-party Security Operations Center (“SOC”) partner to monitor, manage and respond to cybersecurity incidents;

  • the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;

  • a cyber risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors that have access to our critical systems and information managed through the selection of typically larger well-known providers, which is supplemented by review of contractual arrangements, insurance and information requests;

  • cybersecurity awareness training and simulated phishing campaigns are conducted for all staff;

  • disaster recovery plans and procedures;

  • access control and CCTV systems (where appropriate) for the physical protection of Anteris systems; and

  • incident response and recovery procedures, for cybersecurity incidents.

We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

Insider Trading and Securities Dealing Policy

We have adopted an Insider Trading and Securities Dealing Policy, which promotes compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations and the listing standards of NASDAQ. Additionally, the policy prohibits officers, directors, and employees from engaging in short sales, publicly-traded options, or hedging transactions such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds or through other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our securities.

(4) The amounts in this column are presented in USD using the average exchange rate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.66. All other compensation amounts relate to superannuation entitlements.

The Non-Employee Directors received directors’ cash fees and options. As of January 1, 2024 through to December 16, 2024, which was the date of the completion of our Reorganization to become a Delaware corporation, the chairperson received a fixed cash fee of $152,145 per annum and the other Non-Employee Directors received a fixed cash fee of $69,193 per annum plus superannuation converted using the spot exchange rate as of the date of Reorganization, December 16, 2024, which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.64. In addition, the director serving as the Company Secretary received an annual fee of AUD $54,336. The Non-Employee Directors’ cash fees were determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which was periodically recommended for approval by stockholders. The fee pool limit stood at $445,690 per annum (AUD $700,000) converted using the spot exchange rate as of the date of Reorganization, December 16, 2024, which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.64, as approved by stockholders at Anteris Technologies Pty Ltd’s 2014 Annual General Meeting. The fees were paid monthly. Upon pricing of our IPO, we adopted the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy described below.

In June 2024, following the approval by stockholders at the Annual General Meeting on May 29, 2024, the Company issued 475,000 options with an exercise price of AUD $23.00 per share to directors (Mr. Seaberg 75,000 options; Mr. Paterson 300,000 options, Mr. Denaro 50,000 options and Dr. Gu 50,000 options). The quoted exercise prices of $14.64 for the options held by the U.S. directors were converted to U.S. dollars at the time of the Reorganization using the spot of A$1.00 to $0.64. The quoted exercise prices of $14.30 for the options held by the Australian directors have been translated from AUD using the year-end spot exchange rate as of December 31, 2024, which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.67. The option grants described in the table above will vest in three equal (or broadly equal) tranches over one, two, and three years so long as the recipient continues to serve as a director through each applicable vesting date. With respect to his stock options issued in 2022 and 2024, Dr. Gu forfeited his right to any unvested stock options upon his resignation from the Board and any vested stock options 90 days after his resignation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Australian-based Non-Employee Directors also received 12% superannuation from July 1, 2024 (previously 11.5%).

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

Effective upon the pricing of our IPO, we adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Director Compensation Policy”) to provide for the compensation of non-employee directors for service on our Board. Each non-employee director receives an annual cash retainer for their service in each position as denoted below, each of which is payable in twelve equal monthly installments and is prorated for any portion of a month that a nonemployee director is not serving in such position on our Board. Non-employee directors’ annual cash retainers are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by stockholders and stands at $2 million per annum, unless increased by approval of stockholders. The 2024 annual cash retainers for each applicable position were:

Non-Executive Board Chair* $150,000 $150,000
Board Member $ 45,000
Lead Independent Director (if appointed) $ 25,000
Audit Committee Chair** $ 20,000
Compensation Committee Chair** $ 15,000
Nominating & Governance Committee Chair** $ 10,000
Audit Committee Member $ 10,000
Compensation Committee Member $ 7,500
Nominating& Governance Committee Member $ 5,000
  • This is the total cash compensation and the Non-Executive Board Chair is not eligible for any additional cash retainers.

** Annual retainers for Committee chairs are paid in lieu of, not in addition to, annual retainers for Committee members.

Effective January 1, 2025, the annual cash retainers for each non-employee director position were increased by 3% from the 2024 levels.

Pursuant to the Director Compensation Policy and subject to stockholder approval on a per grant basis in accordance with the rules of the ASX, unless the underlying security which is acquired on exercise of the option or otherwise on satisfaction of right is purchased on-market (as specified in an award agreement), non-employee directors who are elected or appointed to our Board receive an initial grant of restricted stock units with an aggregate grant date fair value of $250,000, which vests in three equal annual installments, subject to each non-employee director’s continued service through such date. Non-employee directors who serve on our Board as of the date of any annual stockholder meeting and will continue to serve on our Board following such annual stockholder meeting receive, subject to approval on a per grant basis in accordance with the rules of the ASX, unless the underlying security which is acquired on exercise of the option or otherwise on satisfaction of right is purchased on-market (as specified in an award agreement), an annual grant of restricted stock units with an aggregate grant date fair value of $125,000, except for the Non-Executive Board Chair, who receives a grant with a target value of $250,000, which vests on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the grant date and the date of our next annual stockholder meeting, subject to each non-employee director’s continued service through such date. A non-employee director who has served on our Board for fewer than six months prior to an annual stockholder meeting receives a prorated grant of restricted stock units, which vests on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the grant date and the date of our next annual stockholder meeting, subject to such non-employee director’s continued service through such date. A nonemployee director elected for the first time to our Board at an annual stockholder meeting will be eligible to receive only an initial grant of restricted stock units.

In addition, in connection with our IPO, Non-Employee Directors, other than the Non-Executive Board Chair, received grants of restricted stock units with a target fair value of $250,000, and the Non-Executive Board Chair received a grant of restricted stock units with a target fair value of $500,000, each of which is subject to approval by stockholders (see Proposals Four and Five) in accordance with the rules of the ASX and vests annually over a three year period. Dr. Gu forfeited his right to this restricted stock units grant and his outstanding stock option awards issued in 2022 and 2024 following his resignation from the Board.

Effective March 5, 2025, Mr. St Denis was appointed as our President and a member of our Board.

Short-Term Incentive Compensation

Compensation for individuals is linked to our performance as well as the performance and contribution of the individual. Incentive payments are dependent on defined corporate and individual key performance targets being met. Incentive payments for the NEOs and for our broader company are at the discretion of our Board and the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee believes the setting of key corporate and individual key performance targets which are aligned to the corporate strategy, will drive the development, performance and position of our company. The Compensation Committee expects that this will drive increased stockholder returns going forward.

The NEOs’ short-term incentive (“STI”) bonus performance targets are based on a percentage of their base salaries with the actual incentive dependent on certain company and individual performance conditions being satisfied. STI opportunity targets are based on adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization), capital position target and achievement of strategic objectives. Strategic targets include measures linked to the advancement of the transcatheter aortic valve replacement program, including the early feasibility study as well as the achievement of a successful listing on NASDAQ and IPO.

34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Name Principal Position Target STI Bonus %
Wayne Paterson Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 100% of base salary
David St Denis President, Director (former Chief Operating Officer) 80% of base salary
Matthew McDonnell Chief Financial Officer 60% of base salary

The Compensation Committee reviewed each of the applicable targets and determined that they were sufficiently met. As a result, each NEO received 100% of their target STI bonus.

In recognition of Mr. Paterson’s, Mr. St Denis’ and Mr. McDonnell’s contributions to the Nasdaq listing process, our Board and Compensation Committee exercised their discretion to award exceptional cash bonuses of $125,000, $50,000 and $50,000, respectively, in addition to the STI bonuses. These amounts are included in the “Bonus” column in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table above.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards

The Compensation Committee approves equity awards granted to the NEOs on or before the grant date. The Compensation Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of such equity awards, which, for our CEO, are also subject to approval by our stockholders in accordance with the requirements of the ASX. We have not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. In 2024, we did not award any stock options to the NEOs during any period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or the filing or furnishing of a current report on Form 8-K disclosing material non-public information and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report with the SEC.

Executive Equity-Based Compensation

During 2024, the Company granted 300,000 options to Mr. Paterson with an exercise price of $14.64, pursuant to stockholder approval, which vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of June 19, 2024, subject to Mr. Paterson’s continued employment through each vesting date. The above quoted exercise price has been translated from AUD using the spot exchange rate on the date of the Reorganization which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.64.

In connection with our U.S. IPO, priced at $6.00 per share, each NEO received an award of restricted stock units under the Equity Plan (as defined below), which vests annually over a three year period. Vesting of such awards will accelerate upon a termination of employment following a change in control. The NEOs received the following number of restricted stock units: Mr. Paterson, 1,000,000; Mr. St Denis, 500,000; and Mr. McDonnell, 83,333; Mr. Paterson’s award is subject to stockholder approval in accordance with the rules of the ASX.

Equity Compensation Plans

The Company has two historic long-term incentive plans from which no further options or awards will be issued, which were assumed by the Company in connection with the Reorganization:

  • the Admedus Ltd (now known as “n/k/a” ATGC) Employee Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2017 Incentive Plan”), which was approved by stockholders in November 2017; and

  • the Employee Incentive Plan (the “2020 Incentive Plan”).

Under each plan, certain eligible participants could receive ordinary shares, options or rights. The vesting of shares, options or rights may be subject to the satisfaction of service-based conditions and performance hurdles which, when satisfied, will allow eligible participants to receive shares or vested options or rights which are exercisable over shares or CDIs.

Anteris Technologies Global Corp. Equity Incentive Plan

The Company has adopted the Anteris Technologies Global Corp. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) for purposes of granting options in the Company and other awards based on the shares of the Company to employees and other service providers of the Company. The following is a summary of the material terms of the Equity Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Equity Plan, which was filed as exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1, filed with the SEC on December 9, 2024.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Purpose of the Equity Plan

The purpose of the Equity Plan is to permit award grants to non-employee directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and certain consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries, and to provide to such persons incentives and rewards for service and/or performance.

Administration of the Equity Plan

The Equity Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board or a subcommittee thereof (the “Administrator”). The Administrator has the power to interpret and construe the Equity Plan and is authorized to take any action it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate, subject to the express limitations contained in the Equity Plan.

Number of Authorized Shares

The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards granted under the Equity Plan will not exceed, in the aggregate, 5,163,023 shares of Common Stock (the “Share Limit”). The Share Limit will be increased by 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis on the last day of the preceding fiscal year on the first day of each fiscal year, for a period of ten years commencing in the first fiscal year following the effective date of the Equity Plan. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock actually issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of incentive stock options (if such awards are able to be granted) will not exceed 4,312,777 shares of Common Stock, which limit will increase by 3% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at the consummation of the IPO on the first day of each fiscal year, for a period of ten years commencing in the first fiscal year following the effective date of the Equity Plan.

The maximum number of shares subject to awards granted on or following the effective date of the Equity Plan during a single calendar year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such nonemployee director during the fiscal year, may not exceed $750,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the fair value of such awards as of their approval effectiveness date); provided, that such calendar year limit shall be $1,000,000 for (i) the non-executive chair of our Board and (ii) a new non-employee director during his or her first year of service on our Board.

In the event of certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, the Administrator will adjust the number and kind of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Equity Plan and all awards shall be adjusted as the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines is equitably required. Except as described below, shares subject to an award under the Equity Plan that are cancelled, forfeited, expire, or become unexercisable without having been exercised in full will be available for subsequent awards under the Equity Plan. Shares withheld in payment of the exercise price of an option or withholding taxes related to an award will be returned to the Share Limit for future grants of awards under the Equity Plan and will not reduce the Share Limit.

Any references in the Equity Plan and this summary to “shares of Common Stock” may be read as a reference to CDIs or shares of Common Stock as the context reasonably requires, unless the contrary intention is expressly stated in the Equity Plan.

Eligibility and Participation

Eligibility to participate in the Equity Plan is generally limited to employees, consultants, directors, and officers of the Company or any subsidiary. Grants of awards over CDIs may only be granted to Australian employees of the Company or a subsidiary who are not U.S. taxpayers.

Types of Awards under the Equity Plan

The Equity Plan authorizes the Administrator to grant awards, individually or collectively, to recipients in any of the following forms, subject to such terms, conditions and provisions as the Administrator may determine to be necessary or desirable:

  • Option rights;

  • Appreciation rights;

36

TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • Restricted stock;

  • RSUs;

  • Cash incentive awards;

  • Performance shares;

  • Performance units (“PSUs”); and

  • Other equity-based awards.

Term of Awards

The term of each award will be determined by the Administrator and stated in the award agreement. In the case of option rights and appreciation rights, the term may not exceed ten years from the grant date or such shorter term as may be provided in the award agreement.

Option Rights

Option rights entitle the option holder to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price established by the Administrator. The Administrator will determine the terms of the option rights, including the vesting and other conditions that must be satisfied for the vesting and exercisability of such awards.

Exercise Price

The Administrator will determine the exercise price of each option right at the date of grant, which price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The Equity Plan prohibits the reduction of the exercise price of option rights without stockholder approval, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization.

Exercise of Option Rights

An option holder may exercise his or her option rights by delivering notice of the number of option rights that are being exercised accompanied by payment in full of the applicable exercise price, in such form and pursuant to such procedures as the Company may designate from time to time, and may consist of any method of payment by the award agreement and the Equity Plan.

Appreciation Rights

Appreciation rights entitle the holder to receive from the Company an amount determined by the Compensation Committee, which will be expressed as a percentage of the excess of the market value per share of Common Stock on the date when an appreciation right is exercised over the base price provided for with respect to the appreciation right at the time of exercise. The Administrator will determine the terms of the appreciation rights, including the vesting and other conditions that must be satisfied for the vesting and exercisability of such awards.

Base Price

The Administrator will determine the base price of each appreciation right at the date of grant, which price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The Equity Plan prohibits the reduction of the base price of appreciation rights without stockholder approval, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization.

Stock Awards

Stock awards, including restricted stock, RSUs, cash incentive awards, performance shares, PSUs, and other equitybased awards, may be granted under the Equity Plan. These stock awards may be denominated in shares or units payable in shares of Common Stock (e.g., RSUs), and may be settled in cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares. Dividend equivalents, which represent a right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of Common Stock, may be granted in connection with RSUs, performance shares, and PSUs. The Administrator will determine the terms of stock awards, including the vesting and other conditions that must be satisfied for the vesting of such awards.

37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Tax Withholding

The Administrator may require a recipient to remit and will have the right to deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable withholding tax requirements with respect to any award granted under the Equity Plan.

Change in Control

The effect, if any, of certain transactions described in the Equity Plan constituting a change in control of the Company on any awards outstanding at the time immediately prior to such change in control may be specifically set forth in the corresponding award agreement, or if no such treatment is specified, then the Administrator will determine the effect of such transaction on any outstanding awards in accordance with the Equity Plan.

Termination and Amendment of the Equity Plan

Our Board may at any time amend the Equity Plan, subject to any required stockholder approval and any required consent from participants to the extent required under the Equity Plan or by applicable law. Our Board may terminate the Equity Plan at any time; provided, however, that such termination will not affect the rights of holders of outstanding awards granted under the Equity Plan or their successors.

Term of Equity Plan

The Equity Plan became effective in connection with the pricing of the IPO, and will continue in effect until terminated through a resolution by our Board, provided that the termination of the Equity Plan will not affect awards then outstanding, and the terms and conditions of the Equity Plan shall continue to apply to such awards. No grant will be made under the Equity Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Equity Plan.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures with Respect to Related Party Transactions

Our Audit and Risk Committee charter requires that the Audit and Risk Committee review and approve or disapprove all related person transactions that are required to be disclosed by Item 404 of Regulation S-K. We review all relationships and transactions reported to us in which we and our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members or any person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. Our Secretary is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether our company or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction.

We have a written related-party transaction policy that applies to our executive officers, directors, director nominees, holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities and any member of the immediate family of, and any entity affiliated with, any of the foregoing persons. Such persons will not be permitted to enter into a related-party transaction with us without the prior consent of our Audit and Risk Committee, or other independent members of our Board in the event it is inappropriate for our Audit and Risk Committee to review such transaction due to a conflict of interest. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, director nominee, principal stockholder, or any of their immediate family members or affiliates, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 or one percent (1%) of the average of our total assets as of the end of last three completed fiscal years must first be presented to our Audit and Risk Committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our Audit and Risk Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to our Audit and Risk Committee, including, but not limited to, the commercial reasonableness of the terms of the transaction and the materiality and character of the related party’s direct or indirect interest in the transaction.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Other than executive compensation arrangements described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement (See “Executive Compensation”), described below are the transactions and proposed transactions, since the beginning of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, in which we were or are to be a participant and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest involving the lesser of $120,000 and one percent (1%) of the average of our total assets as of year end for the last two completed fiscal years. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee for director, or holder of 5% or more of our Common Stock, or an immediate family member of any of those persons.

Reorganization Transactions

Prior to the consummation of our IPO, we completed the Reorganization pursuant to which we received all of the issued and outstanding shares of ATPL, which was formerly an Australian public company originally registered in Western Australia, Australia and listed on the ASX, pursuant to the Scheme under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act. Contemporaneously with implementation of the Scheme, ATPL also cancelled all existing options it has on issue in exchange for our company issuing replacement options to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the Option Scheme under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act. The Scheme was approved by ATPL’s shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders, which was held on December 3, 2024. The Option Scheme was approved by ATPL’s optionholders at a general meeting of optionholders held on the same day. ATPL obtained approval of the Scheme and the Option Scheme by the Supreme Court of Queensland on December 4, 2024. As a result of the Reorganization, ATPL became a wholly owned subsidiary of our company and the shareholders of ATPL immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO became holders of the either one share of Common Stock for every ordinary share of ATPL or one CDI for every one ordinary share of ATPL for each share held as of the record date.

Deed of Cross Guarantee

The Company and ATPL (ACN 088 221 078) are party to a deed of cross guarantee dated December 20, 2024 (“Deed”). The Company and ATPL were the only parties to the Deed at December 31, 2024, and comprise the “closed group” for the purposes of the Deed and, as there are no other parties to the Deed that are controlled by

41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Company, the Company and ATPL also represent the “extended closed group.” By entering into the Deed, the Company and ATPL have guaranteed the debts of each other. There have been no changes in ownership of any members of the closed group or in the parties to the deed of cross guarantee since December 31, 2024.

Acquisition of 30% Stake in v2vmedtech, inc.

On April 18, 2023, we purchased 30% of the equity capital stock of v2vmedtech, pursuant to a contribution and stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), and concurrently contributed $0.2 million and entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) and series of agreements (collectively, the “v2v Agreements”) with v2vmedtech. v2vmedtech has a license agreement with Columbia University to develop an innovative heart valve repair device utilizing a transcatheter edge-to-edge repair method for a minimally invasive treatment of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation, also known as leaky valve.

Under the terms of the v2v Agreements, we agreed to provide certain development services to v2vmedtech in exchange for equity in v2vmedtech. Pursuant to the v2v Agreements, we provide engineering, clinical, regulatory, marketing, and executive management resources, but excluding medical and chief medical officer services, in connection with v2vmedtech’s development of these valve repair devices. We are responsible for developing products and preparing regulatory filings and all costs and expenses incurred by us directly, related to the development of devices constitute development contributions under the v2v Agreements, for which we are solely responsible. These contributions are to be provided over five stages linked to key development and regulatory requirements for the device for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve (“TEER Product”).

Stage 1 is the development of a preferred concept for the TEER Product, during which we provided analytical, engineering and product development services for the TEER Product, gather and document preliminary or critical product requirements, create product specifications, design at least one concept to meet that product specification, and provide initial prototypes. During this stage, v2vmedtech established a separate medical advisory board (the “v2v Advisory Board”). Stage 1 concluded with a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech, prior to proceeding to Stage 2. The research and development (“R&D”) contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us under Stage 1 were $2.2 million.

Stage 2 involves manufacturing and testing prototypes of the preferred concept to finalize the TEER Product design for concept lock. This stage includes additional engineering and product development services to modify the preferred concept of the TEER Product at our sole discretion. Before we make a decision to advance to Stage 3, a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech will be conducted and their feedback will be considered. In addition, to advance to Stage 3, the TEER Product must meet all established criteria in our quality system. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us as set out in the Development Agreement under Stage 2 are expected to be $0.4 million to $0.8 million.

Stage 3 involves non-clinical bench lab testing of the TEER Product, at our discretion. Before we make a decision to advance to Stage 4, a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech will be conducted and their feedback will be considered. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us as set out in the Development Agreement under Stage 3 are expected to be $0.8 million to $1.8 million.

Stage 4 involves pre-clinical acute and chronic studies of the TEER Product in animals to support regulatory submissions, which will be undertaken at our discretion. Before we make a decision to advance to Stage 5, a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech will be conducted and their feedback will be considered. Approval from v2vmedtech’s Board may be required before proceeding to Stage 5. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us as set out in the Development Agreement under Stage 4 are expected to be $0.7 million to $1.6 million.

Stage 5 is the first use of the TEER Product in a first-in-human study in one cohort of patients anywhere in the world. During this stage, v2vmedtech will enter into agreements with the sites and practitioners performing the firstin-human study services and must maintain appropriate insurance. A review of endpoints and resulting data from the first-in-human study will be conducted by us and by appropriate non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech in order to determine the success of the first-in-human study. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us under Stage 5 as set out in the Development Agreement are expected to be $1.0 million to $2.2 million.

42

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During Stages 2 through 5, we may solicit input from the v2v Advisory Board and will coordinate, facilitate and participate in meetings of the v2v Advisory Board. We are generally permitted to use our own employees, resources, lab facilities and other internal resources during the five development stages.

We have an option to terminate our activities for v2vmedtech, subject to certain break rights. These break rights allow us to discontinue additional development contributions subject to a fee of $0.2 million during Stage 1 and incrementally increasing by $0.2 million for each stage of development to a maximum $1.0 million break fee in Stage 5. We will also pay all customary corporate, operational, and legal costs (“operational contributions”) of v2vmedtech up to an amount determined by the board of v2vmedtech each year. After the earlier of the completion of Stage 5 or the incurrence of $10.0 million of development contributions and operational contributions, our ownership stake in v2vmedtech will be increased from 30% to between 58% and 60%.

v2vmedtech owns all intellectual property rights to the technology and data developed (the “Developed Technology and Data”) pursuant to the v2v Agreements. However, under the terms of the v2v Agreements, v2vmedtech grants us a perpetual and exclusive license to the Developed Technology and Data for medical device applications other than leaky valve devices. As v2vmedtech is a development company, there is no revenue currently generated by this entity.

The v2v Agreements will expire one year after completion of Stage 5. We may terminate the v2v Agreements upon exercise of our break rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement and payment of the applicable break fee or upon a material breach by v2vmedtech. v2vmedtech may terminate the v2v Agreements once we no longer own any shares of v2vmedtech’s issued and outstanding capital stock or upon its exercise of its break rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the exercise of certain rights it holds under the Stock Purchase Agreement. We and v2vmedtech may terminate the v2v Agreements upon an event of insolvency or a material breach by the other party.

Development is working towards the completion of Stage 2, Concept Freeze, for the Implant and Delivery System. Timing for a first in human trial cannot be reasonably determined at this time as it is contingent on successful completion of further stages of R&D, including the design, prototyping and testing, preclinical testing and completion of regulatory submissions. The timing to complete these activities is influenced by the v2v Agreements, which state that the Development Agreement can be terminated if certain expenditure amounts, development milestones or regulatory approvals are not incurred or achieved from March 31, 2027 and onwards. The total amount of eligible development contributions and operational contributions paid by us under the v2v Agreements as of June 30, 2025 was $4.4 million.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts reasonably incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, on account of any services undertaken by such person on behalf of our company or that person’s status as a member of our Board or executive officer to the maximum extent allowed under Delaware law.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

The rules of the SEC require that the Company disclose late filings of reports of stock ownership (and changes in stock ownership) by its directors, executive officers, and beneficial owners of more than ten percent of the Company’s stock. The Company has undertaken responsibility for preparing and filing the stock ownership forms required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, on behalf of its officers and directors. Based upon a review of forms filed and information provided by the Company’s officers and directors, we believe that all Section 16(a) reporting requirements were met during fiscal year 2024 other than Messrs. Paterson and Seaberg, who each filed a Form 3 late.

PROPOSAL TWO – RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025

Our Board and the Audit and Risk Committee are asking our stockholders to ratify the appointment by the Audit and Risk Committee of KPMG, as the independent public accounting firm to conduct the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

Stockholder ratification of such appointment is not required by our Bylaws or any other applicable legal requirement. However, our Board is submitting the appointment of KPMG to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance.

In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit and Risk Committee will reconsider whether to continue to retain KPMG for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit and Risk Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit and Risk Committee believes that such a change should be made. Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make statements if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Fees billed by KPMG for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are as follows:

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, Fiscal Year Ended December 31, Fiscal Year Ended December 31, Fiscal Year Ended December 31, Fiscal Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023
Audit fees(1) $649,610 $321,661
Audit-related fees
Tax fees
All other fees 769
Total fees $649,610 $322,430

(1) Audit fees consist of fees for professional services provided primarily in connection with the annual audit of our financial statements, quarterly reviews and services associated with SEC registration statements and other documents issued in connection with the IPO including comfort letters and consents.

Determination of Independence

In considering the nature of the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit and Risk Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit and Risk Committee discussed these services with our independent registered public accounting firm and our management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence.

Additional information concerning the Audit and Risk Committee and its activities can be found in the following sections of this Proxy Statement: “Corporate Governance—Audit and Risk Committee” and “Report of the Audit and Risk Committee.”

Pre-Approval Policy

According to policies adopted by the Audit and Risk Committee and ratified by our Board, to ensure compliance with the SEC’s rules regarding auditor independence, all audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm must be pre-approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee has established a general pre-approval policy for certain audit and non-audit services, up to a specified amount for each identified service that may be provided by the independent auditors.

The Audit and Risk Committee approved one hundred percent (100%) of all services provided by KPMG during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors and Audit and Risk Committee

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OUR AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REPORT OF THE AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, accounting and financial-reporting principles, internal controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, and applicable laws and regulations. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for appointing, compensating, overseeing, and, where appropriate, discharging and replacing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent accounting firm”). In addition, the Audit and Risk Committee is involved in the selection of the lead audit engagement partner whenever a rotational change is required by applicable law or listing standards or for any other reason. The independent accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, once applicable, the independent accounting firm will express its own opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

The function of the Audit and Risk Committee is not intended to duplicate or attest as to the activities of management and the independent accounting firm, nor can the Audit and Risk Committee certify that the independent accounting firm is “independent” under applicable rules. The Audit and Risk Committee serves a boardlevel oversight role, in which it provides advice, counsel, and direction to management and the independent accounting firm on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management and the independent accounting firm, and the experience of the Audit and Risk Committee’s members in business, financial, and accounting matters.

In this context, the Audit and Risk Committee met and held numerous discussions with management and the independent accounting firm during fiscal year 2024. Management represented to the Audit and Risk Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the Audit and Risk Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent accounting firm. The Audit and Risk Committee discussed with the independent accounting firm matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The independent accounting firm also provided to the Audit and Risk Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by Rule 3526 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, Communications with Audit and Risk Committees Concerning Independence, and the Audit and Risk Committee discussed with the independent accounting firm the firm’s independence.

Based upon the Audit and Risk Committee’s discussion with management and the independent accounting firm and the Audit and Risk Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of the independent accounting firm on the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Audit and Risk Committee recommended that our Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2025.

PROPOSAL THREE – TO APPROVE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 10.14 AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES, THE GRANT OF 1,000,000 RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS TO WAYNE PATERSON ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT

Background

Proposal Three seeks the approval of stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 of the grant of 1,000,000 RSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Wayne Paterson on the terms and conditions of an RSU agreement (“RSU Agreement”) entered into between Mr. Paterson and the Company in connection with the IPO, the material terms of which are set out below, and otherwise on the terms of the Equity Plan. An RSU is a “restricted stock unit,” which is an unfunded and unsecured contractual entitlement to be issued or transferred a share of Common Stock of the Company for each RSU on a future date (after the vesting of the entitlement). Each RSU on vesting will entitle Mr. Paterson to be issued one fully paid share of Common Stock for no monetary consideration.

If Proposal Three is passed by stockholders, the RSUs will be granted under and subject to the terms of the RSU Agreement and otherwise on the terms of the Equity Plan. If Proposal Three is not passed by stockholders, the RSUs will not be granted to Mr. Paterson.

ASX Listing Rules 10.14 and 7.2, Exception 14

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities (including, but not limited to, Director Share Units, Restricted Share Units and Performance Share Units) under an employee incentive scheme:

  • a) a director of the Company;

  • b) an associate of a director of the Company; or

  • c) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its stockholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its stockholders.

The proposed issuance of RSUs to Mr. Paterson under Proposal Three falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1, as Mr. Paterson is a director of the Company, and does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.16. The grant of the RSUs to Mr. Paterson therefore requires the approval of stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14 provides that stockholder approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issuance of equity securities that have received stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, and any such equity securities are not included for the purposes of calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, if Proposal Three is passed by stockholders, the grant of RSUs to Mr. Paterson, and any subsequent issue, transfer or allocation of Common Stock in respect of those RSUs, will not be included in the calculation of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 ceases to be valid if there is a material change to the terms of the Equity Plan from those disclosed at the time the approval was obtained.

Number of RSUs and Vesting Conditions

A summary of the RSUs proposed to be granted to Mr. Paterson, and the vesting conditions that apply, is set forth below.

Number of RSUs
1,000,000

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Material Terms of the RSU Agreement

In addition to the number, vesting conditions and other terms of the RSUs summarized in the table above, the following is a summary of other material terms of the RSU Agreement under which, subject to Proposal Three being passed by stockholders, the RSUs will be granted to Mr. Paterson.

RSU Agreement

  • Grant Price : There is no consideration payable for the grant of the RSUs.

  • Vesting Conditions : Remain continuously employed through each vesting date.

  • Termination : If Mr. Paterson’s employment terminates due to his death or disability, his RSUs immediately vest in full. If Mr. Paterson’s employment terminates without “cause” or for “good reason,” a pro rata portion of his RSUs will vest, based on the time elapsed in the full vesting period.

  • Adjustment of Shares of Common Stock : The Company may make or provide for such adjustments in the number of and kind of shares of Common Stock covered by the outstanding RSUs and in other terms, as we determine is equitably required in the event of certain adjustments to our Common Stock or certain corporate transactions.

  • Change in Control : In the event of a change in control of the Company, Mr. Paterson’s RSUs will vest in full unless a replacement award is provided that meets certain requirements described in the RSU Agreement.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of certain of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the RSUs based on U.S. federal income tax laws in effect. This summary, which is presented for the information of stockholders considering how to vote on this proposal and not for the award grantee, is not intended to be complete and does not describe federal taxes other than income taxes, such as Medicare and Social Security taxes, state taxes, local taxes, or foreign taxes.

RSUs will not have US tax consequences for the Company or the recipient at the time of grant. Income will be realized when the awards vest. At that time, the recipient will realize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock issued to them. Upon the sale of shares of Common Stock received in settlement of RSUs, the recipient will realize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale proceeds and income previously realized with respect to the shares of Common Stock. The capital gain (or loss) will be a long-term capital gain (or loss) if the recipient held the shares of Common Stock for more than one year after realizing income attributable to the shares of Common Stock, or otherwise a short-term capital gain (or loss).

To the extent that an award recipient recognizes ordinary income in the circumstances described above, the Company or the subsidiary for which they perform services will be entitled to a corresponding deduction provided that, among other things, the income meets the test of reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) and is not disallowed by the $1 million limitation on certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Information Required under ASX Listing Rule 10.15

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided for Proposal Three:

  • ( ASX Listing Rule 10.15.1 ): The RSUs are proposed to be granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wayne Paterson.

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.2): Mr. Paterson is an executive director of the Company, and therefore falls into the category under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1.

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.3): It is proposed that 1,000,000 RSUs will be granted to Mr. Paterson in connection with the IPO, with each RSU on vesting entitling Mr. Paterson to be issued one fully paid share of Common Stock for no monetary consideration.

50

TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.4): The details of Mr. Paterson’s current total remuneration package (in US dollars), is set out in the “2025 Director Compensation Package” section on page 31 of this Proxy Statement.

  • ASX Listing Rule 10.15.5): No securities have previously been issued to Mr. Paterson under the Equity Plan.

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.6): The securities proposed to be granted to Mr. Paterson, if approved under Proposal Three, are RSUs. The material terms of the RSUs are set out above under the headings “Number of RSUs and Vesting Conditions” and “Material Terms of the RSU Agreement”.

The proposed grant of the RSUs to Mr. Paterson is intended to recognize Mr. Paterson’s contributions to the Company, including in connection with the IPO and to align the interests of Mr. Paterson with those of stockholders, by linking rewards to the creation of stockholder value, while also minimizing the cash expenses of the Company.

The Company considers that the fair value of the RSUs proposed to be granted to Mr. Paterson is $6,000,000. This valuation is based on the price per share of Common Stock in the IPO.

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.7): If approved under Proposal Three, the Company intends to issue the RSUs to Mr. Paterson as soon as practicable following the Annual Meeting, but in any event no later than three years after the Annual Meeting.

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.8): The Company will receive no form of consideration for the grant of the RSUs or for the Common Stock to be issued to Mr. Paterson upon their vesting, other than the continued provision of employment or director services and the satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions by Mr. Paterson. Consequently, there is no issue price for the RSUs.

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.9): The RSUs are proposed to be issued pursuant to the Company’s Equity Plan. A summary of the material terms of the Equity Plan is set out in the “Equity Compensation Plans” section on page 35 of this Proxy Statement.

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.10): No loan will be provided by the Company to Mr. Paterson in relation to the grant of RSUs.

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.11): Details of any securities issued under the Equity Plan will be published in the Company’s annual report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issuance was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issuance of securities under the Equity Plan after Proposal Three is approved and who are not named in this Proxy Statement will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

  • ASX Listing Rule 10.15.12): A voting exclusion statement applies to Proposal Three, as set out on page 49 of this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSALS FOUR, FIVE, SIX AND SEVEN – TO APPROVE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 10.14 AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES, THE INITIAL GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

Background

Proposal Four, Proposal Five, Proposal Six, and Proposal Seven (inclusive) seek the approval of stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for the initial grant of RSUs to the Company’s non-employee directors, as detailed in Table 1 below (“NED RSUs”) on the terms and conditions of RSU agreements entered into between each relevant nonemployee director and the Company (“NED RSU Agreements”). The NED RSU Agreements with respect to John Seaberg and Stephen Denaro were entered into between the Company and the relevant non-employee director in connection with the IPO, while the NED RSU Agreements with respect to Gregory Moss and David Roberts were entered into in connection with the appointment of each relevant non-employee director. The material terms of the NED RSU Agreements are summarized below under the heading “Material Terms of the NED RSU Agreements”. The RSUs are otherwise proposed to be granted on the terms of the Equity Plan.

An RSU is an unfunded and unsecured contractual entitlement to be issued or transferred a share of Common Stock or a CDI on a future date (after the vesting of the relevant RSU entitlement). Each NED RSU on vesting will entitle the relevant non-employee director to be issued or transferred one fully paid share of Common Stock or a CDI, as applicable, for no monetary consideration.

Our Board agreed to grant the NED RSUs to each of the below non-employee directors in connection with the IPO or their later Board appointment date, subject to receipt of the stockholder approvals sought under Proposal Four, Proposal Five, Proposal Six, and Proposal Seven. Table 1 below reflects the awards granted to each non-executive director.

If Proposal Four is passed by stockholders, 83,333 NED RSUs will be granted to Mr. Seaberg under and subject to the terms of the relevant NED RSU Agreement and otherwise on the terms of the Equity Plan. If Proposal Four is not passed by stockholders, 83,333 NED RSUs will not be granted to Mr. Seaberg.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If Proposal Five is passed by stockholders, 41,666 NED RSUs will be granted to Mr. Denaro under and subject to the terms of the relevant NED RSU Agreement and otherwise on the terms of the Equity Plan. If Proposal Five is not passed by stockholders, 41,666 NED RSUs will not be granted to Mr. Denaro.

If Proposal Six is passed by stockholders, 52,742 NED RSUs will be granted to Mr. Moss under and subject to the terms of the relevant NED RSU Agreement and otherwise on the terms of the Equity Plan. If Proposal Six is not passed by stockholders, 52,742 NED RSUs will not be granted to Mr. Moss.

If Proposal Seven is passed by stockholders, 52,742 NED RSUs will be granted to Mr. Roberts under and subject to the terms of the relevant NED RSU Agreement and otherwise on the terms of the Equity Plan. If Proposal Seven is not passed by stockholders, 52,742 NED RSUs will not be granted to Mr. Roberts.

ASX Listing Rules 10.14 and 7.2, Exception 14

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities (including, but not limited to, Director Share Units, Restricted Share Units and Performance Share Units) under an employee incentive scheme:

  • a director of the Company;

  • an associate of a director of the Company; or

  • a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its stockholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its stockholders.

The proposed issuance of the NED RSUs to Mr. Seaberg, Mr. Denaro, Mr. Moss, and Mr. Roberts under Proposal Four, Proposal Five, Proposal Six, and Proposal Seven, respectively, each fall within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1, as each of Mr. Seaberg, Mr. Denaro, Mr. Moss, and Mr. Roberts is a director of the Company, and they do not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.16. The grant of the NED RSUs to each of Mr. Seaberg, Mr. Denaro, Mr. Moss, and Mr. Roberts therefore requires the approval of stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14 provides that stockholder approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issuance of equity securities that have received stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, and any such equity securities are not included for the purposes of calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, if Proposal Four, Proposal Five, Proposal Six, and Proposal Seven are passed by stockholders, the grant of the NED RSUs, and any subsequent issue, transfer or allocation of Common Stock in respect of those NED RSUs, will not be included in the calculation of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 ceases to be valid if there is a material change to the terms of the Equity Plan from those disclosed at the time the approval was obtained.

Material Terms of the NED RSU Agreements

In addition to the value, vesting schedules and other terms of the NED RSUs noted in Table 1 above, the following is a summary of other material terms of the NED RSU Agreements under which, subject to Proposal Four, Proposal Five, Proposal Six, and Proposal Seven being passed by stockholders, the NED RSUs will be granted.

RSU Agreements

  • Grant Price : There is no consideration payable for the grant of the NED RSUs.

  • Vesting Conditions : Remain in continuous service through each vesting date.

  • Lapsing on Cessation as a Director : Each non-employee director’s NED RSUs will be forfeited on the date that his continuous service as a non-employee director terminates.

53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • Adjustment of Shares of Common Stock : The Company may make or provide for such adjustments in the number of and kind of shares of Common Stock or CDIs, as applicable, covered by the outstanding NED RSUs and in other terms, as we determine is equitably required in the event of certain adjustments to our Common Stock or certain corporate transactions.

  • Change in Control : In the event of a change in control of the Company, each non-employee director’s NED RSUs will vest in full.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of certain of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the NED RSU Agreements based on U.S. federal income tax laws in effect. This summary, which is presented for the information of stockholders considering how to vote on Proposal Four, Proposal Five, Proposal Six, and Proposal Seven and not for award grantees, is not intended to be complete and does not describe federal taxes other than income taxes, such as Medicare and Social Security taxes, state taxes, local taxes, or foreign taxes.

RSUs will not have U.S. tax consequences for the Company or the recipient at the time of grant. Income will be realized when the awards vest. At that time, the recipient will realize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock or CDIs issued to them. Upon the sale of shares of Common Stock or CDIs received in settlement of the NED RSUs, the recipient will realize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale proceeds and income previously realized with respect to the shares of Common Stock or CDIs. The capital gain (or loss) will be a long-term capital gain (or loss) if the recipient held the shares of Common Stock or CDIs for more than one year after realizing income attributable to the shares of Common Stock or CDIs, or otherwise a short-term capital gain (or loss).

To the extent that an award recipient recognizes ordinary income in the circumstances described above, the Company or the subsidiary for which they perform services will be entitled to a corresponding deduction provided that, among other things, the income meets the test of reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and is not disallowed by the $1 million limitation on certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

PROPOSALS EIGHT, NINE, TEN AND ELEVEN – TO APPROVE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 10.14 AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES, THE GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

Background

Proposal Eight, Proposal Nine, Proposal Ten and Proposal Eleven (inclusive) seek the approval of stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for the grant of RSUs to the Company’s directors in respect of the Company’s 2025 fiscal year, as detailed in Table 2 below (the “FY25 RSUs”) on the terms and conditions of RSU agreements entered into between each relevant director and the Company in connection with the proposed grant of the FY25 RSUs (the “FY25 RSU Agreements”), the material terms of which are summarized below under the heading “Material Terms of the FY25 RSU Agreements.” The FY25 RSUs are otherwise proposed to be granted on the terms of the Equity Plan.

An RSU is an unfunded and unsecured contractual entitlement to be issued or transferred a share of Common Stock or a CDI on a future date (after the vesting of the relevant RSU entitlement). Each FY25 RSU on vesting will entitle the relevant director to be issued or transferred one fully paid share of Common Stock or a CDI, as applicable, for no monetary consideration. Mr. Seaberg and Mr. Denaro are entitled to grants of $250,000 and $125,000, respectively, under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy. Mr. Moss and Mr. Roberts are entitled to a pro-rata grant of $61,644 based on the amount of time they served prior to the Annual Meeting.

Pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, the FY25 RSUs are proposed to be granted as of the date of the Annual Meeting to the directors of the Company:

  • in recognition of each directors’ past and likely future contributions to the development, governance and performance of the Company; and

  • to align the interests of each director with those of stockholders, by linking rewards to the creation of stockholder value, while also minimizing the cash expenses of the Company.

Table 2: FY25 RSUs proposed to be granted to each director:

Set out below are details of the FY25 RSUs proposed to be granted to each director if stockholders approve Proposal Eight, Proposal Nine, Proposal Ten and Proposal Eleven (as applicable).

Upon the vesting of an RSU award, the holder will be entitled to be issued or transferred the relevant number of shares of Common Stock or CDIs, as applicable, without the payment of any cash or other form of consideration.

If Proposal Eight is passed by stockholders, the grant of $250,000 (in grant date value) of RSUs will be granted to Mr. Seaberg under and subject to the terms of the relevant FY25 RSU Agreement and otherwise on the terms of the Equity Plan. If Proposal Eight is not passed by stockholders, the grant of RSUs with a total target grant value of $250,000 will not be granted to Mr. Seaberg.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If Proposal Nine is passed by stockholders, the grant of $125,000 (in grant date value) of RSUs will be granted to Mr. Denaro under and subject to the terms of the relevant FY25 RSU Agreement and otherwise on the terms of the Equity Plan. If Proposal Nine is not passed by stockholders, the grant of RSUs with a total target grant value of $125,000 will not be granted to Mr. Denaro.

If Proposal Ten is passed by stockholders, the grant of $61,644 (in grant date value) of RSUs will be granted to Mr. Moss under and subject to the terms of the relevant FY25 RSU Agreement and otherwise on the terms of the Equity Plan. If Proposal Ten is not passed by stockholders, the grant of RSUs with a total target grant value of $61,644 will not be granted to Mr. Moss.

If Proposal Eleven is passed by stockholders, the grant of $61,644 (in grant date value) of RSUs will be granted to Mr. Roberts under and subject to the terms of the relevant FY25 RSU Agreement and otherwise on the terms of the Equity Plan. If Proposal Eleven is not passed by stockholders, the grant of RSUs with a total target grant value of $61,644 will not be granted to Mr. Roberts.

ASX Listing Rules 10.14 and 7.2, Exception 14

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities (including, but not limited to, Director Share Units, Restricted Share Units and Performance Share Units) under an employee incentive scheme:

  • a director of the Company;

  • an associate of a director of the Company; or

  • a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its stockholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its stockholders.

The proposed issuance of the FY25 RSUs to Mr. Seaberg, Mr. Denaro, Mr. Moss and Mr. Roberts under Proposal Eight, Proposal Nine, Proposal Ten and Proposal Eleven each fall within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1, as each of Mr. Seaberg, Mr. Denaro, Mr. Moss and Mr. Roberts is a director of the Company, and they do not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.16. The grant of the FY25 RSUs to each of Mr. Seaberg, Mr. Denaro, Mr. Moss and Mr. Roberts therefore requires the approval of stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14 provides that stockholder approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issuance of equity securities that have received stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, and any such equity securities are not included for the purposes of calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, if Proposal Eight, Proposal Nine, Proposal Ten and Proposal Eleven are passed by stockholders, the grant of the FY25 RSUs, and any subsequent issuance, transfer or allocation of Common Stock in respect of those FY25 RSUs, will not be included in the calculation of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 ceases to be valid if there is a material change to the terms of the Equity Plan from those disclosed at the time the approval was obtained.

Material Terms of the FY25 RSU Agreements

In addition to the value, vesting schedules and other terms of the FY25 RSUs noted in Table 2 above, the following is a summary of other material terms of the FY25 RSU Agreements under which, subject to Proposal Eight, Proposal Nine, Proposal Ten and Proposal Eleven being passed by stockholders, the FY25 RSUs will be granted:

  • Grant Price: There is no consideration payable for the grant of the FY25 RSUs.

  • Vesting Conditions: Each director remains in continuous service through each vesting date.

  • Lapsing on Cessation as a Director: Each director’s FY25 RSUs will be forfeited on the date that his continuous service as a director terminates.

58

TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • Adjustment of Shares of Common Stock: The Company may make or provide for such adjustments in the number of and kind of shares of Common Stock or CDIs, as applicable, covered by the outstanding FY25 RSUs and in other terms, as we determine is equitably required in the event of certain adjustments to our Common Stock or certain corporate transactions.

  • Change in Control: In the event of a change in control of the Company, each director’s FY25 RSUs will vest in full.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of certain of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the FY25 RSU Agreements based on U.S. federal income tax laws in effect. This summary, which is presented for the information of stockholders considering how to vote on Proposal Eight, Proposal Nine, Proposal Ten and Proposal Eleven and not for award grantees, is not intended to be complete and does not describe federal taxes other than income taxes, such as Medicare and Social Security taxes, state taxes, local taxes, or foreign taxes.

RSUs will not have U.S. tax consequences for the Company or the recipient at the time of grant. Income will be realized when the awards vest. At that time, the recipient will realize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock issued to them. Upon the sale of shares of Common Stock received in settlement of the FY25 RSUs, the recipient will realize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale proceeds and income previously realized with respect to the shares of Common Stock. The capital gain (or loss) will be a longterm capital gain (or loss) if the recipient held the shares of Common Stock for more than one year after realizing income attributable to the shares of Common Stock, or otherwise a short-term capital gain (or loss).

To the extent that an award recipient recognizes ordinary income in the circumstances described above, the Company or the subsidiary for which they perform services will be entitled to a corresponding deduction provided that, among other things, the income meets the test of reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and is not disallowed by the $1 million limitation on certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

59

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The proposed grant of the FY25 RSUs to each of the directors of the Company are intended to recognize the past and likely future contributions to the development, governance and performance of the Company by each of the directors and to align the interests of each of the directors with those of stockholders, by linking rewards to the creation of stockholder value, while also minimizing the cash expenses of the Company.

The Company considers that the fair value of the FY25 RSUs proposed to be granted to the directors are as follows:

  • FY25 RSUs to be granted to Mr. Seaberg – $250,000;

  • FY25 RSUs to be granted to Mr. Denaro – $125,000;

  • FY25 RSUs to be granted to Mr. Moss – $61,644; and

  • FY25 RSUs to be granted to Mr. Roberts – $61,644.

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.8): The Company will receive no form of consideration for the grant of the FY25 RSUs (or for the Common Stock or CDIs, as applicable, to be issued or transferred upon the vesting of the FY25 RSUs), other than the continued provision of director services by the directors. Consequently, there is no issue price for the FY25 RSUs.

Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issuance of securities under the Equity Plan after Proposal Eight, Proposal Nine, Proposal Ten and Proposal Eleven are approved and who are not named in this Proxy Statement will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

  • (ASX Listing Rule 10.15.12): A voting exclusion statement applies to Proposal Eight, Proposal Nine, Proposal Ten and Proposal Eleven as set out on page 57 of this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL TWELVE – TO APPROVE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 6.23.4 AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES, ADJUSTMENTS TO THE EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN STOCK OPTIONS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED UNDER THE COMPANY’S EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN, ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT

Background

Proposal Twelve seeks the approval of stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4 of legally necessary adjustments to the exercise price for the unlisted stock options summarized below which were granted in 2024 to employees of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company who are U.S. taxpayers under the Company’s Employee Incentive Plan (adopted in 2020 by ATPL and assumed by the Company in 2024) that remain outstanding as of the date of the Annual Meeting (the “Affected Options”):

Number of Options Grant Date Expiry date Original Exercise Price
(After IPO Adjustment)
(US$)
75,000 March 26, 2024 April 16, 2029 12.45
5,250 March 29, 2024 April 23, 2029 13.02
3,000 July 1, 2024 August 8, 2029 11.63

The Affected Options were issued to the employees of the Company or a subsidiary as an equity-based component to their remuneration packages. No member of the Board or senior management holds the Affected Options.

Under Proposal Twelve, we are proposing that the exercise price of each Affected Option be adjusted upwards to reflect the closing price of a share of ATPL on each applicable grant date. The terms of the Affected Options will otherwise remain unchanged.

If Proposal Twelve is passed by stockholders, the exercise price of each Affected Option will be adjusted as detailed below. If Proposal Twelve is not passed by stockholders, the exercise price of each Affected Option will not be adjusted and the Company will not be able to correct an inadvertent error in setting the original exercise prices of the Affected Options under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).

ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4

ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that an entity must obtain stockholder approval to make a change to the terms of options on issue which is not prohibited under ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3.

ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3 prohibits, amongst other things, a change to the terms of options which has the effect of reducing the exercise price of the options. As the proposed changes to the exercise price of the Affected Options would, if approved by stockholders and implemented, result in the exercise price of the Affected Options being increased, rather than decreased, the proposed adjustment of the exercise price of the Affected Options is not prohibited by ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3.

Reason for the Adjustment to the Exercise Price

When the Affected Options were granted in 2024 pre-IPO, the Company inadvertently set the applicable exercise prices below the fair market value of a share of ATPL on the date of grant, which resulted in the Affected Options not complying with Section 409A. Under Section 409A, issuers of non-compliant stock options are permitted to correct the error in the year of grant or in the year thereafter without penalty to the impacted optionholders or the issuer if the exercise price is adjusted to equal the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. The Company has determined that it would be in its best interests to adjust the exercise prices of the Affected Options in accordance with the correction method prescribed under Section 409A. If Proposal Twelve is approved by stockholders, each adjustment will result in an exercise price for each Affected Option equal to the closing price of a share of ATPL on the applicable date of grant (or the closing price on the day prior to the date of grant if the date of grant was not a trading day) as reflected in the table below.

Adjusted Exercise Prices

A summary of the proposed adjusted exercise prices for each Affected Option is set forth below. The original exercise prices were converted from Australian dollars to U.S. dollars in connection with the IPO using an exchange rate of 0.6367. The adjusted exercise prices were determined by converting the closing price of a share

62

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of ATPL on the applicable date of grant (or the closing price on the day prior to the date of grant if the date of grant was not a trading day) into U.S. dollars using the same exchange rate used in connection with the IPO, with the date of grant, for purposes of correcting the Section 409A error, being the date on which the board of directors of ATPL approved the issuance of the Affected Options.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL TWELVE, BEING THE APPROVAL, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 6.23.4 AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES, OF ADJUSTMENTS TO THE EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN STOCK OPTIONS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED UNDER THE COMPANY’S EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN, ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL THIRTEEN – TO APPROVE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 6.23.4 AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES, AMENDMENTS TO THE TERMS OF STOCK OPTIONS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED UNDER THE COMPANY’S 2017 INCENTIVE PLAN AND 2020 INCENTIVE PLAN OR THROUGH SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL, AS SET OUT IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT

Background

Various employees of the Company and its subsidiaries have previously been granted options to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Company’s 2017 Incentive Plan and 2020 Incentive Plan that remain outstanding as of September 30, 2025 (the “Plan Options”). In addition, members of the Board have previously been granted options, including options granted pursuant to shareholder approval, that remain outstanding as of the same date (the “Director Options,” and together with the Plan Options, the “Outstanding Options”).

There are Plan Options held by approximately 99 total participants with respect to approximately 2,656,094 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025, with a range of exercise prices for such Plan Options that runs from US$2.29 to US$24.43. There are Director Options with respect to approximately 2,175,178 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025, with a range of exercise prices for such Plan Options that runs from US$3.76 to US$23.56.

The number of Outstanding Options, along with the range of exercise prices of such Outstanding Options held by each member of the Board, each Named Executive Officer and certain other specified groups are set out in the table below:

Optionholder Total Number of Shares Subject
to Plan Options/Director Options
Exercise Price Range(1) Exercise Price Range(1)
Low High
John Seaberg 312,500 8.25 15.28
Wayne Paterson 1,346,248 3.76 23.56
Stephen Denaro 170,500 8.56 15.84
Wenyi Gu (former Director) 80,500 15.84 15.84
David St Denis 265,430 5.65 23.56
Matthew McDonnell 112,001 4.49 8.56
Executive Officers as a Group 1,723,679 3.76 23.56
Non-Executive Directors as a Group 563,500 8.25 15.84
Non-Executive Officer Employees as a Group 368,915 2.29 24.43

(1) The exercise prices reported for Messrs. Denaro and McDonnell and Dr. Gu, which are designated in AUD, have been translated to USD using the spot exchange rate as of September 30, 2025 of approximately A$1.00 to $0.66.

The terms applicable to the Outstanding Options require that the relevant optionholder pay the applicable exercise price to the Company in order to exercise any vested Outstanding Options. The optionholder will also generally incur tax liability at the time of exercise.

Proposal Thirteen seeks the approval of stockholders under ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4 to permit the terms of the Outstanding Options to be amended to provide the Board with the discretion to (i) permit optionholders to exercise their Outstanding Options using a net exercise feature and (ii) satisfy the tax liability incurred through net share withholding. The net exercise feature, which is a type of cashless exercise, enables the optionholder to pay the exercise price by having a number of shares with a value equal to the applicable exercise price withheld from the number of shares of Common Stock or CDIs (as applicable) the holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of their Outstanding Options.

Net share withholding enables the optionholder to satisfy their tax liability at exercise by having a number of shares with a value equal to the applicable taxable amount withheld from the number of shares of Common Stock or CDIs (as applicable) the holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of their Outstanding Options.

64

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under the proposed amendment to the terms of the Outstanding Options, if the Board exercises its discretion to permit net exercise and/or net share withholding, the number of shares of Common Stock or CDIs (as applicable) to which a holder of Outstanding Options would be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Outstanding Options would be as follows:

Net Exercise : Common Stock or CDIs (as applicable) received at exercise = A x (Number of Outstanding Options exercised)

Where:

A = (B – (Exercise Price per Outstanding Option)) / B

B = the closing price of a share of Common Stock on NASDAQ or a CDI on ASX (as applicable) on the date of exercise of the Outstanding Option, unless otherwise determined by the Board or required by applicable law.

Net Share Withholding : Common Stock or CDIs (as applicable) received at exercise = (Number of Outstanding Options exercised) - C

Where:

C = Amount of Tax Liability at Exercise / D

D = the closing price of a share of Common Stock on NASDAQ or a CDI on ASX (as applicable) on the date of exercise of the Outstanding Option, unless otherwise determined by the Board or required by applicable law.

Net Exercise and Net Share Withholding : Common Stock or CDIs (as applicable) received at exercise = A x (Number of Outstanding Options exercised) - C

Where:

A = (B – (Exercise Price per Outstanding Option)) / B

B = the closing price of a share of Common Stock on NASDAQ or a CDI on ASX (as applicable) on the date of exercise of the Outstanding Option, unless otherwise determined by the Board or required by applicable law.

C = Amount of Tax Liability at Exercise / D

D = the closing price of a share of Common Stock on NASDAQ or a CDI on ASX (as applicable) on the date of exercise of the Outstanding Option, unless otherwise determined by the Board or required by applicable law.

The proposed net exercise and net share withholding features, if permitted by the Board in its discretion, are intended to provide flexibility and convenience to the holders of Outstanding Options, as well as to facilitate the exercise of Outstanding Options in a way that does not require holders of Outstanding Options to make significant upfront cash payments, which may indirectly disadvantage some holders of Outstanding Options.

ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4

ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that an entity must obtain stockholder approval to make a change to the terms of options on issue which is not prohibited under ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3.

ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3 provides that a change to an option which has the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period for exercise, or increasing the number of securities received on exercise cannot be made. The proposed amendments to the Outstanding Options described above would not have the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period for exercise or increasing the number of securities received on exercise, of the Outstanding Options and, therefore, the proposed amendments are not prohibited under ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3. Therefore, Proposal Thirteen is seeking stockholder approval to permit the terms of the Outstanding Options to be amended as described above.

If Proposal Thirteen is passed by stockholders, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed amendments to the terms of the Outstanding Options as described above. If Proposal Thirteen is not passed by stockholders, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed amendments to the terms of the

INTRODUCTION

Prior to the consummation of our initial public offering, we completed a series of reorganization transactions (the ‘‘Reorganization’’). Unless otherwise indicated or context otherwise requires in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this ‘‘Form 10-K’’), all references in this Form 10-K to the ‘‘Company,’’ ‘‘Anteris,’’ ‘‘Anteris[®] ,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ and ‘‘our’’ refer to Anteris Technologies Ltd (‘‘ATL’’) prior to the Reorganization and Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (‘‘ATGC’’) after the Reorganization, and for purposes of this Form 10-K:

  • ‘‘Acellularized’’ refers to when all cellular antigens (such as cells and cell remnants) known to initiate inflammation and interrelated calcification mechanisms have been removed.

  • ‘‘ADAPT[®] anti-calcification tissue’’ refers to the tissue produced by the ADAPT[®] tissue engineering process, which transforms xenograft tissue (bovine heart tissue) into a durable bioscaffold which Anteris uses in its DurAVR[®] THV to mimic human tissue in aortic valve replacement.

  • ‘‘Aldehydes’’ refers to organic compounds.

  • ‘‘Aortic stenosis’’ refers to the narrowing of the aortic valve restricting the flow of blood from the left ventricle (lower chamber of the heart) to the aorta (main artery).

  • ‘‘Bioscaffold’’ refers to a durable structure engineered from biological material.

  • ‘‘Biostability’’ refers to the ability of a material to maintain its physical and chemical integrity after implantation into a living tissue and organs.

  • ‘‘Coaptation’’ refers to the portion of the leaflets that touch when the aortic valve is in the closed position.

  • ‘‘ComASUR[®] delivery system’’ refers to the balloon expandable system which provides controlled deployment and accurate placement of the DurAVR[®] THV, designed to achieve precise alignment with the heart’s native commissures to achieve ideal valve positioning.

  • ‘‘Commissure alignment’’ refers to the position of the transcatheter aortic valve replacement leaflets in line with the anatomical orientation of the recipient’s native valve leaflets.

  • ‘‘Commissures’’ refers to where the valve leaflets are attached to the aortic wall inside the aortic sinus of Valsalva.

  • ‘‘Cytotoxicity’’ refers to toxicity to cells.

  • ‘‘Doppler velocity index’’ and ‘‘DVI’’ refer to the index that expresses the EOA as a proportion of valve area, with DVI representing the physical ratio of a patient’s aortic valve area to the left ventricular outflow tract area. A higher DVI indicates improved blood flow through the aortic valve. DVI is independent of the flow state (like gradient) and diameter (like EOA).

  • ‘‘DurAVR[®] THV’’ refers to a transcatheter heart valve (‘‘THV’’) developed by Anteris. It is a novel, biomimetic (meaning human-like) valve made from a single-piece of native-shaped ADAPT[®] tissue and is used for the treatment of aortic stenosis. The DurAVR[®] THV (new aortic valve) is placed within the diseased aortic valve via a minimally invasive procedure.

  • ‘‘Effective orifice area’’ and ‘‘EOA’’ refer to the smallest cross-sectional area of the aortic valve opening that is available for blood flow. A larger EOA reduces the work the left ventricle (heart chamber) must do to pump blood through the valve. Patients with severe aortic stenosis typically have an EOA of ≤ 1 cm[2] .

  • ‘‘Exercise capacity’’ refers to a measure of a patient’s exercise ability, measured in clinical trials by a six minute walk test (‘‘6MWT’’), which scores a person on the distance they can cover in six minutes of walking.

  • ‘‘Flow displacement’’ and ‘‘FD’’ refer to a marker of flow eccentricity in the ascending aortic root. Flow in the ascending aortic root is mainly laminar with a flow displacement ranging from 6 – 15% only. A higher degree of FD reflects abnormal turbulent flow.

  • ‘‘Flow reversal ratio’’ or ‘‘FRR’’ is calculated at peak systole in the ascending aorta. At this point there should be almost no backward flow, and any backward flow is considered abnormal. FRR represents the ratio of backward and forward flow at peak systole.

1

  • ‘‘Hemodynamics’’ refers to how blood flows through the blood vessels.

  • ‘‘Laminar flow’’ refers to a smooth, streamlined flow of blood. In a healthy heart, aortic flow is predominantly laminar during systole (when the left ventricle contracts and pumps blood into the aorta). Abnormal aortic flow is associated with turbulence, which can increase the risk of morbidity and increase the stress on the valve leaflets leading to increased wear and tear and subsequent structural valve deterioration.

  • ‘‘Mean pressure gradient’’ and ‘‘MPG’’ refer to the average pressure across the aortic valve between the left ventricle and aorta. Patients with severe aortic stenosis have MPG ≥ 40 mmHg. Post-TAVR MPG is expected to decrease, which indicates that the left ventricle is not working as hard to pump blood through the aortic valve.

  • ‘‘Transcatheter aortic valve replacement’’ or ‘‘TAVR’’ refer to a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of aortic stenosis. A new aortic valve is placed inside the diseased valve, meaning the old, damaged valve is not removed.

  • ‘‘ViV’’ refers to valve-in-valve.

  • ‘‘Xenograft’’ refers to a tissue that is derived from a species that is different from the recipient of the specimen, meaning tissue from animal species.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

All statements in this Form 10-K, other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, product development, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward- looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘budget,’’ ‘‘target,’’ ‘‘aim,’’ ‘‘strategy,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘guidance,’’ ‘‘outlook,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘would,’’ ‘‘will be,’’ ‘‘will continue,’’ ‘‘will likely result’’ and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, include, but are not limited to, statements about:

  • our current and future research and development (‘‘R&D’’) activities, including clinical testing and manufacturing and related costs and timing;

  • sufficiency of our capital resources;

  • our product development and business strategy, including the potential size of the markets for our products and future development and/or expansion of our products in our markets;

  • our ability to commercialize products and generate product revenues;

  • our ability to raise additional funding when needed;

  • any statements concerning anticipated regulatory activities, including our ability to obtain regulatory clearances;

  • our R&D expenses; and

  • risks facing our operations and intellectual property.

We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K largely on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Form 10-K, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur at all. You should refer to the section titled ‘‘ Risk Factors ’’ for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material.

The forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-K relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act do not protect any forward-looking statements that we make within this Form 10-K.

You should read this Form 10-K and the documents that we reference in this Form 10-K completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K by these cautionary statements.

This Form 10-K contains certain data and information that we obtained from various publications, including industry data and information from FMI. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions. The global, North American and European TAVR markets may not grow at the rate projected by market data or at all. Failure of the global, North American and European TAVR markets to grow at the projected rate may have a material and adverse effect on our business and the market price of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (‘‘Common Stock’’), and CHESS Depository Interests (‘‘CDIs’’). All references in this Form 10-K to Common Stock shall include the shares represented by CDIs unless the context suggests otherwise. In addition, the nature of the medical technology industry results in significant uncertainties for any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our industry. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

3

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

This Form 10-K includes information concerning the Company’s industry and the markets in which it operates that is based on information from various sources including public filings, internal company sources, various third-party sources and management estimates. In addition, this Form 10-K contains information from a report prepared by Future Market Insights, Inc. (‘‘FMI’’), a market research firm that we commissioned to provide information on the global transcatheter heart valve replacement market. Management estimates regarding the Company’s position, share and industry size are derived from publicly available information and its internal research and are based on a number of key assumptions made upon reviewing such data and the Company’s knowledge of such industry and markets, which it believes to be reasonable. In some cases, we do not expressly refer to the sources from which this information is derived. While the Company believes the industry, market and competitive position data included in this Form 10-K is reliable and is based on reasonable assumptions, such data is necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk and is subject to change due to a variety of factors, including those described in ‘‘Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,’’ ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates included in this Form 10-K. The Company has not independently verified any data obtained from third-party sources and cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of such data.

RISK FACTOR SUMMARY

Investing in shares of our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties, together with all of the other information contained in this Form 10-K, including the section titled ‘‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’’ and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, together with our other publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’), before making an investment decision. The occurrence of any of the following risks, or of additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be material, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, reputation or results of operations. Our business and any investment in our securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described in the section titled ‘‘ Risk Factors’’ before making a decision to invest in our Common Stock. Set forth below is a summary of some, but not all, of the principal risks we face:

  • We have a history of operating losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

  • There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

  • We will require substantial additional future financing and may be unable to raise sufficient capital, which could have a material impact on our R&D programs or commercialization of our products.

  • Unsuccessful clinical trials or procedures relating to our products could have a material adverse effect on our prospects.

  • If we are unable to successfully identify, develop, obtain and maintain regulatory clearance or approval and ultimately commercialize any of our current or future products, or experience significant delays in doing so, our business may be harmed.

  • Even if a product receives regulatory clearance or approval, it may still face development and regulatory difficulties that could delay or impair future sales of products.

  • Some of our products are in development and may not achieve market acceptance, which could limit our growth and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

  • We may find it difficult to enroll patients in our clinical trials, and patients could discontinue their participation in clinical trials, which could delay or prevent clinical trials and make those trials more expensive to undertake.

  • We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing industry, and if we do not compete effectively, our business will be harmed.

  • The success of many of our products may depend upon certain key physicians and heart valve centers.

  • We rely on third parties to conduct our clinical trials and preclinical studies. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, comply with applicable regulatory requirements or meet expected deadlines, our development programs and our ability to seek or obtain regulatory clearance and approval for or commercialize our products may be delayed.

4

  • We are subject to various risks relating to international activities that could affect our profitability, including risks associated with currency fluctuations and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

  • Any failure to protect our information technology infrastructure and our products against cyber-based attacks, network security breaches, service interruptions or data corruption could materially disrupt our operations and harm our business.

  • Increased emphasis on environmental, social, and governance matters may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

  • We could become exposed to product liability claims that could harm our business, and we may be unable to obtain insurance coverage at acceptable costs and adequate levels.

  • Use of our products in unapproved circumstances could expose us to liabilities.

  • Our products and operations are subject to extensive government regulation, including environmental, health and safety regulations, which could result in substantial costs. Furthermore, any failure to comply with applicable requirements could harm our business.

  • Healthcare policy changes may have a material adverse effect on us.

  • Even with regulatory clearance or approval to bring a product to market, our profitability may be impacted by ongoing coverage and reimbursement determinations by government health care programs and other third-party payors for our products, or procedures and services that rely on our products.

  • We could be exposed to significant liability claims if we are unable to obtain insurance at acceptable costs and adequate levels or otherwise protect ourselves against potential product liability claims.

  • Tax laws, regulations, and enforcement practices are evolving and may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

  • Our success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property and our proprietary technology.

  • • Intellectual property rights of third parties could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products.

  • Our reliance on third parties requires us to share our trade secrets, which increases the possibility that a competitor will discover them or that our trade secrets will be misappropriated or disclosed.

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

  • Any difficulty with protecting our intellectual property could diminish the value of our intellectual property rights in the relevant jurisdiction.

  • We have incurred significant costs associated with the Reorganization and will incur significant ongoing costs as a company whose Common Stock is publicly traded in the United States, and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices, which could divert their attention from the operation of our business.

  • The market price and trading volume of our Common Stock may be volatile and may be affected by economic conditions beyond our control.

  • An active, liquid trading market for our Common Stock may not be maintained.

  • We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to remediate these material weaknesses, or if we experience additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our Common Stock.

  • Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our ‘‘Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation’’) and amended and restated bylaws (the ‘‘Amended and Restated Bylaws’’) contain anti-takeover provisions that could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

PART I

Item 1. Business.

Overview

Anteris is a structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Our lead product, the DurAVR[®] THV, represents a unique product opportunity in a new THV class of single-piece heart valves, for the treatment of aortic stenosis. Our DurAVR[®] THV consists of a single-piece, biomimetic valve made with our proprietary ADAPT[®] tissue-enhancing technology and deployed with our ComASUR[®] balloon-expandable delivery system. ADAPT[®] is our proprietary anti-calcification tissue shaping technology that is designed to reengineer xenograft tissue into a pure, single-piece collagen bioscaffold. Our proprietary ADAPT[®] tissue has been clinically demonstrated to be calcium free for up to 10 years post-procedure, according to Performance of the ADAPT-Treated CardioCel[®] Scaffold in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Cardiac Anomalies: Medium to Long-Term Outcomes , published by William Neethling et. al., and has been distributed for use in over 55,000 patients globally in other indications. Our ComASUR[®] balloon-expandable delivery system, which was developed in consultation with physicians, is designed to provide precise alignment with the heart’s native commissures to achieve accurate placement of the DurAVR[®] THV.

We clinically developed our DurAVR[®] THV system over several years with significant physician input with the goal of addressing hemodynamic limitations of the current standard-of-care products. As of January 2025, a total of 83 patients have been treated with the DurAVR[®] THV across the United States, Canada and Europe. In November 2021, we commenced our FIH study at the Tbilisi Heart and Vascular Clinic in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Aortic valve stenosis is one of the most common and serious valvular heart diseases. It is fatal in approximately 50% of patients if left untreated after two years, and no pharmacotherapy is available to treat this disease. Aortic stenosis causes a narrowing of the heart’s aortic valve, which reduces or blocks the amount of blood flowing from the heart to the body’s largest artery, the aorta, and from there to the rest of the body. Minimally-invasive TAVR, which the United States Food and Drug Administration (‘‘FDA’’) initially approved in 2011 for high surgical risk patients, has emerged as an alternative to open-heart surgery. In 2019, the FDA also approved TAVR for use in low-risk surgical patients. These low-risk surgical patients are often younger persons within the geriatric population that require heart valves with longer durability and pre-disease hemodynamics for an improved quality of life. More generally, patients with aortic valve stenosis are now being diagnosed at a younger age. Yet, according to a publication in The Journal ofAmerican MedicalAssociation, only 15-20% of severe aortic stenosis cases are treated today.

While previous generations of TAVRs were designed for older, high risk, less-active patients, our DurAVR[®] THV system is designed to be a solution for all patients, including both older, less-active patients and younger patients. Our first in class DurAVR[®] THV is a single-piece valve with a novel, biomimetic design that aims to replicate the normal blood flow of a healthy human aortic valve as compared to traditional three-piece aortic valves. In our FIH study, we observed promising results in relation to hemodynamics, laminar flow and exercise capacity. When compared to a healthy aortic valve, our DurAVR[®] THV showed no significant difference in aortic flow.

In addition, our DurAVR[®] THV has been developed with the aim to increase durability and last longer than traditional three-piece designs through the use of our ADAPT[®] anti-calcification tissue including a molded single-piece of tissue designed to mimic the performance of a pre-disease human aortic valve, which we believe can result in improved hemodynamics as compared to traditional three-piece designs. These designs and features cumulatively aim to provide a better quality of life as compared to the current standard of care associated with traditional three-piece designs. We intend to test these features in the randomized global pivotal study (the ‘‘Pivotal Trial’’) against commercially approved TAVR devices.

The design and scope of the Pivotal Trial will be finalized following completion of our submission to the FDA and receipt of feedback from the FDA. The purpose of the Pivotal Trial will be to demonstrate non-inferiority of the DurAVR[®] THV system compared with commercially available TAVR systems for treatment of subjects with severe calcific aortic stenosis. We anticipate that the design of the Pivotal Trial will be a prospective, randomized, controlled multicenter, international study wherein subjects will be randomized to receive either TAVR using the DurAVR[®] THV or TAVR using a commercially available and approved THV from competitors. We anticipate that the subjects will include a broad array of risk profiles. We anticipate that subjects with a failed surgical bioprosthesis in need of a ViV TAVR will be enrolled in a separate parallel registry.

In November 2022, we received conditional approval of our United States early feasibility study (‘‘US EFS’’) EFS investigational device exemption (‘‘IDE’’) application from the FDA to evaluate the safety and feasibility of our DurAVR[®] THV system in the treatment of patients with symptomatic severe native aortic stenosis, enrolling 15 patients in four prominent heart valve centers across the United States. At 30 days post-procedure, patients had a mean effective orifice area (‘‘EOA’’) of 2.2 cm[2] , mean pressure gradient (‘‘MPG’’) of 7.5 mmHg and Doppler velocity index (‘‘DVI’’) of 0.64. No paravalvular leaks were observed; however, there was one subject with pre-existing significant conduction abnormalities who received a pacemaker. Furthermore, no mortality, disabling stroke, life-threatening bleeding, or reinterventions were reported at 30 days post-procedure. 12-month follow-up visits were completed in December 2024. As of the date of this Form 10-K, some, but not all patient follow-up data, has been obtained, and the Company is not in a position to comment on such data at this time.

In July 2023, our DurAVR[®] THV system was used for the first time in a ViV procedure, which was performed at the Institut de Cardiologie de Montréal in Canada under a compassionate Special Access Program (‘‘SAP’’), which allows for the use of a non-commercial device for a specific patient where there is a clinical case that the approved device is unsuitable. In August 2023, a second Canadian patient was successfully implanted with the DurAVR[®] THV system in a ViV procedure. As of January 2025, we have now treated seven ViV patients with our DurAVR[®] THV.

In addition, the FDA determined on March 24, 2023 that approval of an IDE supplement is not required to manufacture the DurAVR[®] valve for investigational use in clinical trials at our facility in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are currently planning to submit an IDE for the DurAVR[®] THV system Pivotal Trial to the FDA by the end of quarter one of 2025. If we obtain approval from the FDA, we intend to perform site activation and seek Institutional Review Board (‘‘IRB’’) approval for commencement of the study at each site. Subject to the foregoing, we anticipate enrollment to begin in the third quarter of 2025. Such a trial would be designed to provide the primary clinical evidence on which the FDA could base a decision for pre-market approval that is required for commercialization of the DurAVR[®] THV system in the United States.

We are a development stage company and have incurred net losses in each year since operation, however, we believe that we have significant growth potential in a large, underpenetrated and growing market. Since the inception of the TAVR procedure, the annual volume of TAVR procedures in the United States has increased significantly year-over-year, with an estimated 73,000 patients having undergone a TAVR procedure in the United States in 2019 according to the TVT Registry. According to FMI, the total global market opportunity for TAVR in relation to severe aortic stenosis and in relation to ViV procedures is expected to reach $9.9 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, in 2028.

Our innovation-focused R&D practice is driven by rapid technological advancement and significant input from leading interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. As a company that is primarily in the development phase, we currently generate small amounts of revenue and income which are insufficient to cover our investment in research, development and operational activities resulting in recurring net operating losses, incurred since inception. We, like other development stage medical device companies, experience challenges in implementing our business strategy due to limited resources and a smaller capital base as we prioritize product development, minimize the period to the commencement of commercial sales, ensure our focus on quality as well as scale our operations. The development and commercialization of new medical devices is highly competitive. Those competitors may have substantial market share, substantially greater capital resources and established relationships with the structural heart community potentially creating barriers to adoption of our technology. Our success will partly be based on our ability to educate the market about the benefits of our disruptive technology including current unmet clinical needs compared to commercially available devices as well as how we plan to capture market share post commercialization.

We are dedicated to developing technological enhancements and new indications for existing products, and less invasive and novel technologies to address unmet patient needs. That dedication leads to our initiation and participation in clinical trials that seek to prove our pipeline is safe and effective as the demand for clinical and economic evidence remains high.

From time to time, we enter into strategic agreements aimed at enhancing our business operations and profitability. For example, in April 2023, we invested in and entered into a development agreement (the ‘‘Development Agreement’’) with, v2vmedtech, inc. (‘‘v2vmedtech’’), which develops an innovative heart valve repair device for the minimally invasive treatment of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation.

Competitive Strengths

We believe the continued growth of our company will be driven by the following competitive strengths:

  • Novel, Biomimetic design . DurAVR[®] is a novel, first in class, ‘‘biomimetic’’ THV. It is designed to mimic the normal anatomy with a more ‘‘human like’’ valve design. Novel molding of the leaflets allows for a more even coaptation area delivering larger EOAs and lower MPGs.

  • Significant clinical results to date in European and United States studies . Anteris has made significant progress in advancing clinical trials, which we believe are delivering strong results and are bringing us closer to potentially achieving regulatory approvals for our DurAVR[®] THV system. We believe our FIH study at the Tbilisi Heart and Vascular Clinic in Tbilisi, Georgia, and our EFS study represent key steps on our pathway to ultimately support an IDE to undertake the Pivotal Trial of our DurAVR[®] THV system.

  • Highly innovative physician-led R&D structure . Our DurAVR[®] THV and our ComASUR[®] balloon expandable delivery system have both been developed with considerable input from leading interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. We believe our emphasis on involving physicians in the R&D process allows us to better serve the needs of patients and physicians alike.

  • Strong intellectual property position . Anteris relies on a combination of intellectual property assets to protect our innovative technology and our brand. This includes our strong patent portfolio, which includes 51 issued patents and 53 pending patent applications, in the United States and in other countries. We also have six pending patent applications through v2vmedtech.

  • Industry experienced executive team . Our management team and members of our Board of Directors (our ‘‘Board’’) have extensive experience in the medical technology and health care industries. We believe that our team’s diverse experiences and track record in the medical industry will assist our efforts to obtain regulatory approval of our products in the United States and other territories and continue to grow our business.

Market Opportunity

According to the World Bank, the total population over 65 in the United States and the European Union was approximately 165.0 million as of 2022. According to FMI, the total global market opportunity for TAVR in relation to severe aortic stenosis and in relation to ViV procedures is expected to reach $9.9 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, in 2028. The key specific markets that our Company is initially targeting are North America and Europe due to these markets accounting for the majority of the above global opportunity. FMI indicated that the North American and European markets averaged 53% and 38% of the global market share, respectively, during the period 2016 to 2023. FMI forecasts that the market opportunity in relation to severe aortic stenosis for North America and Europe will reach $5.5 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively, in 2028; and the market opportunity in relation to ViV procedures is forecast to reach $1.5 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively, in 2028. To calculate these future market values, FMI has relied on actual data from 2023 collated from a variety of published sources and key medical experts and applied a projected CAGR of 14.9% for the global market, 16.2% for the North American market, and 14.0% for the European market. A non-exhaustive list of factors that may impact these forecast calculations include key players’ historic growth; companies and manufacturers working together to develop new, affordable and timesaving technologies; new product launches and approvals; rising demand for THV replacement; availability and cost of products; growing investment in healthcare expenditure; and increased regulatory focus on patient safety and reimbursement policies. In addition, we expect the TAVR market to benefit from general trends, including an aging population, earlier diagnosis of aortic stenosis, increased incidence of obesity and diabetes (which contribute to heart disease), as well as the broader patient populations’ desire to pursue a more active lifestyle.

Since the inception of the TAVR procedure, the annual volume of TAVR procedures in the United States has increased significantly year-over-year, with an estimated 73,000 patients having undergone a TAVR procedure in the United States in 2019 according to the TVT Registry. We believe that the rising geriatric population and the growing cardiovascular device market provides us with a clear business opportunity. The use of healthcare services is significantly higher among older people.

DurAVR[®] THV’s single-piece native shaped biomimetic design replicates the performance of a healthy human aortic valve and is designed to restore normal blood flow as compared to traditional three-piece transcatheter valves, either balloon expandable or self-expanding, which do not restore normal aortic flow. We believe this design, in combination with the ADAPT[®] tissue technology, has the potential to allow the DurAVR[®] THV to last longer than traditional three-piece aortic valves, which have multiple leaflets sewn together that may lead to compromised durability.

Our Product Candidates

DurAVR[®] THV, which employs our ADAPT[®] anti-calcification tissue and is deployed using our ComASUR[®] delivery system, is currently in clinical development.

DurAVR[®] Transcatheter Heart Valve System

==> picture [402 x 134] intentionally omitted <==

Our DurAVR[®] THV is a novel transcatheter aortic valve for the treatment of aortic stenosis that is shaped to mimic the performance of a healthy human aortic valve. Our DurAVR[®] THV system has been designed with considerable input from some of the world’s leading interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. DurAVR[®] THV’s single-piece design mimics the native anatomy of a human aortic valve, as compared to traditional three-piece aortic valves. In addition, our DurAVR[®] THV has been developed with the aim to increase durability and last longer than traditional three-piece designs through the use of our ADAPT[®] anti-calcification tissue including a molded single-piece of tissue designed to mimic the performance of a pre-disease human aortic valve, which we believe can result in improved hemodynamics as compared to traditional three-piece designs. These designs and features cumulatively aim to restore a better quality of life compared to the current standard of care associated with traditional three-piece designs. We intend to test these features in the Pivotal Trial against commercially approved TAVR devices.

The DurAVR[®] THV has the following attributes:

  • it is the first transcatheter aortic valve to use a patented construction of a molded single-piece of bioengineered tissue (our ADAPT[®] anti-calcification tissue with molded leaflets (see ‘‘ ADAPT[®] AntiCalcification Tissue ’’));

  • it has fewer sutures and seams when compared with conventional valves, thereby preserving tissue integrity with the intent to reduce calcification risk to extend valve durability;

  • it is uniquely shaped to emulate the performance of a healthy human valve and produce long leaflet coaptation, laminar flows and near-normal hemodynamics;

  • it has large open cells in the stent frame to improve coronary access; and

  • it utilizes the ComASUR[®] balloon expandable delivery system (see ‘‘ ComASUR[®] Delivery System ’’) for controlled deployment and accurate placement.

ADAPT[®] Anti-Calcification Tissue

==> picture [226 x 272] intentionally omitted <==

The ADAPT[®] tissue engineering process is an anti-calcification preparation that transforms xenograft tissue (bovine pericardium) into durable bioscaffolds that are used to mimic human tissue for surgical repair in multiple settings, including aortic valve replacement. The outcome of the ADAPT[®] tissue engineering process is a novel, acellular, biostable and non-calcifying biomaterial.

The ADAPT[®] tissue engineering process involves multiple steps to transform bovine pericardium into a durable bioprosthetic material. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy-free bovine pericardium is decellularized to remove all cellular antigens that initiate an immune response. The material is then crosslinked to enable maintenance and stabilization of strength and elasticity to improve mechanical resistance. The cytotoxicity is further reduced using detoxification and sterilization processes and anti-calcification methodology to remove and bind aldehydes and enable safe storage in a non-glutaraldehyde solution. Post-implantation, ADAPT[®] tissue provides a scaffold for cell migration to create the optimal environment. Migrated cells can stimulate site-specific remodeling and repair and enable the formation of new blood vessels.

Our proprietary ADAPT[®] tissue has been clinically demonstrated to be calcium-free for up to 10 years post-procedure, according to Performance of the ADAPT-Treated CardioCel[®] Scaffold in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Cardiac Anomalies: Medium to Long-Term Outcomes , published by William Neethling et. al., and it has been distributed for use in over 55,000 patients globally in other indications. Our ComASUR[®] balloon-expandable delivery system, which was developed in consultation with physicians, is designed to provide precise alignment with the heart’s native commissures to achieve accurate placement of the DurAVR[®] THV.

To meet the need for a durable TAVR, made from ADAPT[®] tissue scaffold, we have created DurAVR[®] THV, which is a first in class, biomimetic single-piece valve with optimal hemodynamic and durability properties. Based on published clinical data in several peer-reviewed journals, including The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, the Expert Review of Medical Devices, and Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, ADAPT[®] has been observed to offer potentially significant improvements compared with other widely available commercial processes adopted by healthcare providers, including with respect to bio-compatibility, durability, strength, pliability, functionality and controlled remodeling.

ComASUR[®] Delivery System

==> picture [166 x 88] intentionally omitted <==

Our ComASUR[®] delivery system is a physician-developed balloon expandable delivery system that contains a reinforced steerable catheter for a precise deflection through the heart anatomy in a controlled manner to avoid damage to the aorta. This delivery system provides controlled deployment and accurate placement of our DurAVR[®] THV. Our ComASUR[®] delivery system is designed to achieve precise alignment with the heart’s native commissures to achieve ideal valve positioning.

==> picture [202 x 157] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [202 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

Within the ComASUR[®] delivery system, we have rotational control of the DurAVR[®] valve with the native commissures. This allows for commissure alignment, which is not achieved consistently in competitive delivery systems. This feature positions the TAVR valve leaflets exactly in line with the anatomical orientation of the recipient’s native valve leaflets. We have a patent pending for this system.

First, the balloon starts out as collapsed.

The balloon is then expanded and the DurAVR[®] THV is deployed.

Finally, the balloon is deflated and removed.

Clinical Results and Trials

We have made significant progress in advancing clinical trials of our DurAVR[®] THV system. Thus far clinical development of our DurAVR[®] THV system has consisted of our ongoing FIH study carried out at the Tbilisi Heart and Vascular Clinic in Tbilisi, Georgia and the United States and the FDA-approved EFS, which builds upon the clinical data obtained in the FIH study thus far and is critical to achieving pre-market approval in the United States. We have a total of 75 patients that have benefited from the implantation of the DurAVR[®] THV in Georgia and the United States. In addition, the DurAVR[®] THV has been implanted in eight compassionate ViV patients, including one Valve-in-Valve-in-Valve (‘‘ViViV’’) compassionate procedure.

The preparation for our European Union early feasibility study (our ‘‘EU EFS’’) commenced in December 2024 and the first two subjects were implanted in January 2025.

First-In-Human Study

In November 2021, we commenced our FIH study at the Tbilisi Heart and Vascular Clinic in Tbilisi, Georgia. Since the inception of our FIH study, a total of 59 patients (including one compassionate case, which was outside of the study) have benefited from the implantation of our DurAVR[®] THV system at this clinic across seven cohorts. Patient outcomes are formally measured at both 30 days and 12-months post-procedure.

The scope of the study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the DurAVR[®] THV system in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. The study was designed to be a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, single-center study, with the performance endpoints immediately after the procedure including the correct positioning of a single DurAVR[®] bioprosthetic heart valve into the proper anatomical location and hemodynamic performance. The safety endpoints of the study assessed at 30 days and one year post procedure include all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke (disabling), and life-threatening bleeding. The study enrollment process was not restrictive to any age parameters, however the ages of study subjects enrolled to date have ranged between 59 and 88.

Due to its nature as a FIH feasibility study, the primary endpoints of the study are not structured for statistical differences to historical controls, but rather to demonstrate functional capabilities. We believe that the sample size will allow investigators to make a qualitative assessment of the safety of DurAVR[®] THV in the population studied. Thus far, we have observed promising results in relation to patient hemodynamics, laminar flow and exercise capacity. In addition, as noted by Dr. P. Garg (Norwich University Hospital, United Kingdom), the first five patients underwent Cardiac Magnetic Resonance, which incorporated two-dimensional phase contrast at the level of the ascending aorta, at six months to investigate the aortic flow physiology post-DurAVR[®] THV implantation. Aortic flow characteristics were assessed through the measurement of aortic FD and aortic systolic FRR. The average FD of a healthy aortic valve was 10% while the average FRR of a healthy aortic valve was 1%. The six-month results of the first five patients who received the DurAVR[®] THV were compared with those of five age/height/weightmatched controls with healthy native aortic valves. DurAVR[®] THV recipients had comparable flow displacement (14% versus 10%; p = 0.453) and flow reversal ratio (4% versus 1%; p = 0.328) as compared to the healthy controls.

13

Furthermore, during the study, the ComASUR[®] delivery system component of our DurAVR[®] THV system has performed as expected, allowing for accurate valve placement. The below cohort study results relate only to patients enrolled in the specific cohort and excludes the results of all compassionate cases.

Cohort 3

We enrolled seven participants in our third cohort in April 2023, each of whom were implanted with our DurAVR[®] THV with no valve-related complications. In this cohort we observed increased average EOA by ² 170% from baseline, as observed at 30 days and at 12 months post-procedure (average EOA at baseline of 0.77 cm , average EOA at 30 days of 2.09 cm² and average EOA at 12 months of 2.09 cm[2] ). We also observed average reduced MPG across the valve by 87% at 30 days from baseline (average MPG at baseline of 57.14 mmHg and average MPG at 30 days of 7.53 mmHg) and by 85% at 12 months from baseline (average MPG at 12 months of 8.61 mmHg). We observed a 173% increased DVI at 30 days with stable hemodynamics from baseline (average DVI at baseline of 0.22 and average DVI at 30 days of 0.59), and then an increase of 159% from baseline to 12 months (average DVI of 0.57). Furthermore, no mortality (from any cause), disabling stroke, life-threatening bleeding, myocardial infarction or valve-related complications were reported at 12 months. Lastly, the 6MWTD measuring patient exercise capacity after aortic valve replacement improved by 28% from baseline at 30 days post-procedure (average 6MWTD at baseline of 174.57 meters and average 6MWTD at 30 days of 222.71 meters) and with a 48% improvement from the baseline results and the 12 months post-procedure (average 6MWTD at 12 months of 258.57 meters).

Cohort 4

Our fourth patient cohort consists of eight patients, each of which were implanted with our DurAVR[®] THV in December 2023 with no valve-related complications. In this cohort we observed increased average EOA by 165% from baseline (average EOA at baseline of 0.9 cm² and average EOA at 30 days of 2.39 cm²), as observed at

14

30 days post-procedure. We also observed reduced MPG across the valve by 85% from baseline (average MPG at baseline of 43.25 mmHg and average MPG at 30 days of 6.41 mmHg), as observed at 30 days post-procedure. We observed an increase in DVI from baseline of 170% (average DVI at baseline of 0.23 and average DVI at 30 days of 0.62). Furthermore, no mortality (from any cause), disabling stroke, life-threatening bleeding, myocardial infarction or valve-related complications were reported at 30 days post-procedure. Lastly, the 6MWTD measuring patient exercise capacity after aortic valve replacement improved by 14% from baseline at 30 days post-procedure (average 6MWTD at baseline of 241.50 meters and average 6MWTD at 30 days of 275.00 meters).

Cohort 5

Our fifth patient cohort consisted of 13 patients, each of which were successfully implanted with our DurAVR[®] THV in April and May 2024 with no valve-related complications. In this cohort we observed at 30 days post-procedure increased average EOA by 208% from baseline (average EOA at baseline of 0.73 cm[2] and average EOA at 30 days of 2.25 cm[2] ), reduced MPG across the valve by 84% from baseline (average MPG at baseline of 48.23 mmHg and average MPG at 30 days of 7.81 mmHg), and an increase in DVI from baseline at 30 days post-procedure of 180% (average DVI at baseline of 0.22 and average DVI at 30 days of 0.62).

Cohort 6

Our sixth patient cohort consisted of nine patients, which were implanted with our DurAVR[®] THV in September 2024. As of the date of this Form 10-K the 30-day clinical data for this cohort was not available for release, and the Company is not in a position to provide an update with respect to this data at this time.

Cohort 7

Our seventh patient cohort consisted of eight patients, which were implanted with our DurAVR[®] THV system in December 2024. As of the date of this Form 10-K, the 30-day clinical data for this cohort was not available for release, and the Company is not in a position to provide an update with respect to this data at this time.

United States Early Feasibility Study

In November 2022, we received approval with conditions of our EFS IDE application from the FDA to evaluate the safety and feasibility of our DurAVR[®] THV system in the treatment of patients with symptomatic severe native aortic stenosis. We commenced the EFS in August 2023, enrolling 15 patients at four prominent heart valve centers across the United States. Patient outcomes such as stroke, myocardial infarction, life-threatening bleeds, and all-cause mortality are reported at 30 days and 1-year post implantation. Patients will be followed up to 10 years post-implant. The FDA has categorized the DurAVR[®] THV in this study as a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (‘‘CMS’’) Category B device, which permits Medicare coverage of the device when a Medicare beneficiary participates in the study.

The primary and key secondary endpoints of this trial include safety and device feasibility assessments such as success of implantation at the anatomically accurate position, and hemodynamic performance assessments, including EOA, mean pressure gradient, aortic regurgitation and DVI.

The EFS demonstrated a 100% precise placement and implant success of our DurAVR[®] THV for all 15 patients. At 30 days post-procedure, patients had an increase in average EOA of 172% from baseline (average EOA at baseline of 0.8 cm² and average EOA at 30 days of 2.2 cm²), reduction of MPG of 82% from baseline (average MPG at baseline of 41 mmHg and average MPG at 30 days of 7.5 mmHg) and an increase in DVI of 121% from baseline (average DVI at baseline of 0.28 and average DVI at 30 days of 0.64). No paravalvular leaks were observed; however, there was one subject with pre-existing significant conduction abnormalities who received a pacemaker. Furthermore, no mortality, disabling stroke, life-threatening bleeding, or reinterventions were reported at 30 days post-procedure. 12-month follow up visits were completed in December, 2024, with analysis and reporting scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. As of the date of this Form 10-K, not all of the 12-month data, has been obtained, and the Company is not in a position to comment on such data at this time.

----- End of picture text -----

We have partnered with IQVIA Inc (‘‘IQVIA’’) and the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (‘‘CRF’’) to conduct the EFS. IQVIA is a clinical research organization contracted to provide clinical data monitoring, project and site management, data management, and safety reporting for the EFS. The term of the agreement is until the services for the EFS are completed. CRF provides us with core lab services for the EFS and an independent clinical events committee.

Valve-in-Valve Procedures

In July 2023, DurAVR[®] THV was used for the first time in a ViV procedure as part of Health Canada’s SAP. A ViV procedure is required for patients with a life-threatening situation wherein their current bioprosthetic aortic valve is failing due to calcification or structural deterioration, and a new heart valve must be implanted inside the failing valve. These patients are at high risk for another surgery and require a minimally invasive treatment option. Canada’s SAP exists so that life-saving technology not currently available for commercial use in Canada can be provided when no other commercially available alternatives are suitable.

Our participation in the Canadian SAP program is voluntary. There is no formal agreement with Health Canada, other than letters of authorization by Health Canada for the importation and or sale of special access devices. In addition, DurAVR[®] THV was used for the first time in Sweden as a complex valve-in-valve-in-valve procedure at the Karolinska Institute hospital.

EU Early Feasibility Study

Preparation of our EU EFS commenced in December 2024, with the activation of the first European Union (‘‘EU’’) investigational site. The first two subjects were implanted in January 2025. The EU EFS plans to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the DurAVR[®] THV system in the treatment of symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis or failed surgical aortic bioprosthetic valves and is expected to provide ViV data in a controlled setting as well as generate further feasibility and safety data in patients with severe aortic stenosis. The study is anticipated to enroll up to 40 patients with data collected to be included in future regulatory applications.

Competition

We compete in the cardiovascular device market, and in particular the TAVR market. These markets are characterized by rapid change resulting from technological advances, innovations and scientific discoveries. Our products face a mix of competitors ranging from large manufacturers with multiple business lines to small manufacturers offering a limited selection of products. In addition, we face competition from providers of other medical therapies, such as pharmaceutical companies. Our primary competitors include Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and Medtronic plc. Currently, no competitor has a single-piece tissue TAVR commercially available or has publicly disclosed that a single-piece tissue TAVR is in development.

16

Major shifts in industry market share have occurred in connection with product corrective actions, physician advisories, safety alerts, results of clinical trials to support superiority claims, and publications about products, reflecting the importance of product quality, product efficacy and quality systems in the medical technology industry. In the current environment of managed care, economically motivated customers, consolidation among healthcare providers, increased competition, declining reimbursement rates, and national and provincial tender pricing, competitively priced product offerings are essential to our business. In order to compete effectively, we must continue to create or acquire advanced technology, incorporate this technology into proprietary products, obtain regulatory approvals in a timely manner, maintain high-quality manufacturing processes, and successfully market these products.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and confidentiality and invention assignment agreements to protect our intellectual property rights in the United States and other markets. United States federal registrations for trademarks can remain in force in perpetuity, provided the mark is still being used in commerce and the maintenance/renewal filings are made as required by the sixth year after registration, by the tenth year after registration, and every ten years thereafter.

As of December 31, 2024, Anteris owned a total of 51 active patents expiring between 2025 and 2042, and 53 pending patent applications, as further detailed below.

In the category of prosthetic heart valve devices, we are the sole owner of eight active United States patents, four pending United States patent applications, six active Australian patents, three pending Australian patent applications, one pending Patent Cooperation Treaty (‘‘PCT’’) application, 17 active patents in other countries, and 29 pending applications in other countries. These patents and pending applications are directed to features that are expected to provide competitive advantages such as: a novel process for production of calcification resistant cross-linked biomaterials for the prosthetic valve; three-dimensional molded heart valve leaflets made of cross-linked biomaterial that mimic the performance of a native heart valve designed to provide enhanced performance characteristics such as low mean pressure gradient, low leaflet stress, large open area, high coaptation area and high duration in an open state, to name a few; a prosthetic heart valve that has localized protective covering members that prevent direct contact between the valve and the stent frame to enhance the durability and longevity of the prosthetic valve when the valve is in an open state; and attachment of the biomaterial valve to the stent frame in a novel manner that reduces stresses on the biomaterial of the prosthetic valve.

In the category of delivery systems for the prosthetic heart valve devices, we are the sole owner of one active United States patent, six pending United States patent applications, one pending Australian patent application, three pending PCT applications, and three pending applications in other countries. These patents and pending applications are directed to features that are expected to provide competitive advantages such as: controllable and predictable commissural alignment; a balloon folding technique that mitigates valve rotations during expansion; a single-use valve crimping device; and a delivery catheter hard stop member made of a braided metal material that provides improved trackability, effective expansion of the delivery sheath during advancement, and increased longitudinal compressive strength that serves to maintain the longitudinal position of the prosthetic heart valve on the balloon member.

In the category of sterilization and storage of the prosthetic heart valve devices, we are the sole owner of two active United States patents, one active Australian patent, seven active patents in other countries, and one pending application in other countries. These patents and pending applications are directed to features that are expected to provide competitive advantages such as a novel process for sterilizing the valve made of collagencontaining implantable biomaterials and storage thereafter.

In the category of packaging, we are the sole owners of two active United States patents, one pending United States patent application, two active Australian patents, one pending PCT application, and five active patents in other countries. These patents and pending applications are directed to features that are expected to provide competitive advantages such as a packaging design that includes integrated components and mechanisms for preparing and mounting the valve on the delivery catheter system to make the clinician’s valve preparation process more efficient and user-friendly.

Anteris holds a 30% interest in v2vmedtech. v2vmedtech’s intellectual property is directed to implantable medical devices for mitigating heart valve regurgitation. Using a transcatheter deployment technique, one or more

17

clip devices are attached to the leaflets of a patient’s mitral or tricuspid heart valve to permanently join together edge portions of the leaflets. This is often referred to as an edge-to-edge repair procedure. As of December 31, 2024, v2vmedtech had six pending patent applications and is the exclusive licensee of two pending patent applications owned by Columbia University.

We have trademark registrations for several of our most material marks, including ‘‘ADAPT,’’ ‘‘ADAPT FOR LIFE’’, ‘‘ANTERIS’’, ‘‘ComASUR’’, ‘‘DurAVR’’, and ‘‘GYNECEL’’. Our filing for the ‘‘ANTERIS’’ trademark in India is pending. Our trademarks were obtained between 2006 and 2024. Nearly all of our United States trademarks are federal trademarks.

We operate in an industry characterized by extensive patent litigation. Patent litigation may result in significant damage awards and injunctions that could prevent the manufacture and sale of affected products or result in significant royalty payments in order to continue selling the products.

We undertake reasonable measures to protect our patent rights, including monitoring the products of our competitors for possible infringement of our patents. Protecting our intellectual property rights is important to us, and we plan to continue to maintain and defend our rights regarding our intellectual property. Additionally, we are a party to license agreements with various third parties pursuant to which we have obtained, for varying terms, the exclusive or non-exclusive rights to certain patents held by such third parties in consideration for cross-licensing rights and/or royalty payments. We have also licensed certain patent rights to others.

License Agreements

CardioCel™and VascuCel™Patch Business

We previously deployed our proprietary ADAPT[®] tissue in our CardioCel™and VascuCel™products. CardioCel™is an advanced cardiovascular scaffold designed to repair and treat a range of cardiovascular and vascular defects. CardioCel™is used as a patch in great vessel repair, peripheral vascular reconstruction and suture line buttressing. On October 11, 2019, we sold the distribution and manufacturing rights, including the CardioCel™ and VascuCel™trademarks, to LeMaitre Vascular Inc. (‘‘LeMaitre’’) for cash proceeds of $14.2 million, and a further $1.6 million was subsequently received. An additional $2.0 million (less the associated regulatory approval costs incurred by LeMaitre, which were capped at EUR 0.6 million) has been recognized as a receivable as of December 31, 2024 with LeMaitre confirming receipt of the European Union Medical Device Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/745) (‘‘EUMDR’’) approvals in January 2025. The sale included an exclusive intellectual property license to use our propriety ADAPT[®] tissue limited to the cardiovascular patch field of use granted to LeMaitre.

Concurrent with such sale, we entered into a transition services agreement (the ‘‘Transition Services Agreement’’) with LeMaitre pursuant to which we manufacture and sell CardioCel™and VascuCel™products to LeMaitre in exchange for a price per product currently ranging between Australian dollar (‘‘AUD $’’) $200 and AUD $1,400 per product. This Transition Services Agreement expired in January 2025, whereupon LeMaitre commenced manufacturing the product.

Until January 2025, we remained the legal manufacturer for CardioCel™and VascuCel™products sold by LeMaitre in the Asia Pacific region, North Africa, Middle East region, including Bahrain Kuwait, Lebanon, Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam. LeMaitre is in the process of transitioning to become a legal manufacturer for these regions. The CardioCel™and VascuCel™medical device license for Canada and the FDA issued 510(k) clearance, is now held by LeMaitre, which sells its own version of CardioCel™and VascuCel™. LeMaitre has also received a European CE mark under the EUMDR transition period for its version of CardioCel™and VascuCel™. Under the EUMDR, LeMaitre is able to continue to distribute its remaining inventory of Anteris CardioCel™and VascuCel™currently held in LeMaitre’s facility in Europe. For further information, refer to the section titled ‘‘United States FDA Regulation of Medical Devices.’’

We have received cash proceeds of $13.4 million through December 31, 2024 from manufacturing the CardioCel™and VascuCel™products for LeMaitre, pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

License Agreement

We are party to that certain License Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2019, by and between us and LeMaitre (the ‘‘License Agreement’’), pursuant to which we granted to LeMaitre an exclusive, limited, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual and irrevocable right and license under and to patents

18

and technology in the fields of (i) patches for cardiac repair or replacement (excluding catheter-delivered repair or catheter-delivered replacement devices), (ii) conduits formed from flat patches for cardiac repair or replacement; and (iii) vascular repair or replacement (the ‘‘Exclusive Fields’’). In addition, pursuant to the License Agreement, we granted LeMaitre a non-exclusive, limited, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual and irrevocable right and license under and to patents and technology in the fields of patches for surgical leaflet repair or replacement (excluding catheter delivered repair or catheter delivered replacement). Pursuant to the License Agreement, LeMaitre also granted us: (i) a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, limited, revocable, terminable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license under and to the licensed patents and licensed technology in the Exclusive Fields solely for the purpose of manufacturing products for and on behalf of LeMaitre under the Transition Services Agreement during the term of the Transition Services Agreement, and (ii) a non-exclusive, fully paid up, royalty-free, limited, worldwide perpetual license to use and reproduce any clinical data generated by LeMaitre and pertaining to the products developed under the License Agreement. Consideration under the License Agreement consisted of a one-time upfront payment of $8.0 million from LeMaitre to us. All intellectual property licensed under the License Agreement will be owned by us, but improvements by each party shall be owned by the party that conceived, invented and reduced to practice such improvements. The License Agreement has an indefinite term unless terminated by LeMaitre. We do not have the right to terminate the License Agreement; however, LeMaitre is permitted to terminate on 90 days’ notice.

4C Medical Technologies

On August 30, 2017, and as further amended, we entered into a supply and license agreement (as amended, the ‘‘4C Agreement’’) with 4C Medical Technologies, Inc. (‘‘4C’’), a medical technology company that develops medical devices for the treatment of cardiovascular valve disease. Under the terms of the 4C Agreement, we supply and sell ADAPT[®] tissue to 4C, to be used in 4C’s production of medical devices related to mitral valves and tricuspid human heart valves and granted a limited license to our related sterilization methods only in connection with use of ADAPT[®] tissue by 4C in its production of medical devices.

Sales under the 4C Agreement are made pursuant to individual purchase orders at a price per unit based on anticipated annual volume. There are no minimum purchase commitments under the 4C Agreement.

During the term of the 4C Agreement, our supply of ADAPT[®] tissue to 4C is exclusive, meaning that we agree not to develop, manufacture, or sell certain ADAPT[®] tissue-based products in the mitral valve or tricuspid valve field other than for 4C without prior written approval. We received $8.4 million in proceeds through December 31, 2024 (life to date) under the 4C Agreement relating to the sale and supply of ADAPT[®] tissue-based products to 4C and granting 4C a worldwide license to use our sterilization method in connection with those supplied ADAPT[®] tissue-based products.

Pursuant to the 4C Agreement, we also granted to 4C a limited, revocable and royalty free license to use certain of our trademarks for marketing purposes for 4C’s medical devices that use ADAPT[®] tissue. On October 14, 2019, in light of the transaction with LeMaitre, we revoked 4C’s license to the CardioCel™trademark only. We retained our intellectual property rights existing at the time of the 4C Agreement (except for limited licenses granted to 4C in effect during the term of the 4C Agreement), including new intellectual property rights relating to our tissue products developed either solely by us or jointly by us and 4C. The last-to-expire patent related to the intellectual property covered by the 4C Agreement is scheduled to expire between July 2032 and August 2032.

The current term of the 4C Agreement expires on June 1, 2026, at which time it automatically renew for successive one-year terms. Either we or 4C may terminate the 4C Agreement upon 180 days written notice to the other party at the end of the initial term or any renewal term or in the event of an uncured breach or if the other party becomes insolvent, files a petition for bankruptcy or upon the occurrence of similar events.

Collaborations

v2vmedtech

On April 18, 2023, we purchased 30% of the equity capital stock of v2vmedtech, pursuant to a contribution and stock purchase agreement (the ‘‘Stock Purchase Agreement’’), and concurrently contributed $0.2 million and entered into a series of agreements (collectively, the ‘‘v2v Agreements’’) with v2vmedtech. v2vmedtech has a license agreement with Columbia University to develop an innovative heart valve repair device utilizing a transcatheter edge-to-edge repair method for a minimally invasive treatment of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation, also known as leaky valve.

19

Under the terms of the v2v Agreements, we agreed to provide certain development services to v2vmedtech in exchange for equity in v2vmedtech. Pursuant to the v2v Agreements, we provide engineering, clinical, regulatory, marketing, and executive management resources, but excluding medical and chief medical officer services, in connection with v2vmedtech’s development of these valve repair devices. We are responsible for developing products and preparing regulatory filings and all costs and expenses incurred by us directly, related to the development of devices constitute development contributions under the v2v Agreements, for which we are solely responsible. These contributions are to be provided over five stages linked to key development and regulatory requirements for the device for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve (‘‘TEER Product’’).

Stage 1 is the development of a preferred concept for the TEER Product, during which we will provide analytical, engineering and product development services for the TEER product, gather and document preliminary or critical product requirements, create product specifications, design at least one concept to meet that product specification, and provide initial prototypes. During this stage, v2vmedtech will also establish a separate medical advisory board (the ‘‘v2v Advisory Board’’). Stage 1 concluded with a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech, prior to proceeding to Stage 2. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us under Stage 1 were $2.2 million.

Stage 2 involved manufacturing and testing prototypes of the preferred concept to finalize the TEER Product design for concept lock. This stage included additional engineering and product development services to modify the preferred concept of the TEER Product at our sole discretion. Before we make a decision to advance to Stage 3, a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech will be conducted and their feedback will be considered. In addition, to advance to Stage 3, the TEER Product must meet all established criteria in our quality system. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us as set out in the Development Agreement under Stage 2 are expected to be $0.4 million to $0.8 million.

Stage 3 involves non-clinical bench lab testing of the TEER Product, at our discretion. Before we make a decision to advance to Stage 4, a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech will be conducted and their feedback will be considered. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us as set out in the Development Agreement under Stage 3 are expected to be $0.8 million to $1.8 million.

Stage 4 involves pre-clinical acute and chronic studies of the TEER Product in animals to support regulatory submissions, which will be undertaken at our discretion. Before we make a decision to advance to Stage 5, a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech will be conducted and their feedback will be considered. Approval from v2vmedtech’s Board may be required before proceeding to Stage 5. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us as set out in the Development Agreement under Stage 4 are expected to be $0.7 million to $1.6 million.

Stage 5 is the first use of the TEER Product in a first-in-human study in one cohort of patients anywhere in the world. During this stage, v2vmedtech will enter into agreements with the sites and practitioners performing the first-in-human study services and must maintain appropriate insurance. A review of endpoints and resulting data from the first-in-human study will be conducted by us and by appropriate non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech in order to determine the success of the first-in-human study. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us under Stage 5 as set out in the Development Agreement are expected to be $1.0 million to $2.2 million.

During Stages 2 through 5, we may solicit input from the v2v Advisory Board and will coordinate, facilitate and participate in meetings of the v2v Advisory Board. We are generally permitted to use our own employees, resources, lab facilities and other internal resources during the five development stages.

We have an option to terminate our activities for v2vmedtech, subject to certain break rights. These break rights allow us to discontinue additional development contributions subject to a fee of $0.2 million during Stage 1 and incrementally increasing by $0.2 million for each stage of development to a maximum $1.0 million break fee in Stage 5. We will also pay all customary corporate, operational, and legal costs (‘‘operational contributions’’) of v2vmedtech up to an amount determined by the Board of v2vmedtech each year. After the earlier of the completion of Stage 5 or the incurrence of $10.0 million of development contributions and operational contributions, our ownership stake in v2vmedtech will be increased from 30% to between 58% and 60%.

20

v2vmedtech owns all intellectual property rights to the technology and data developed (the ‘‘Developed Technology and Data’’) pursuant to the v2v Agreements. However, under the terms of the v2v Agreements, v2vmedtech grants us a perpetual and exclusive license to the Developed Technology and Data for medical device applications other than leaky valve devices. As v2vmedtech is a development company, there is no revenue currently generated by this entity.

The v2v Agreements will expire one year after completion of Stage 5. We may terminate the v2v Agreements upon exercise of our break rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement and payment of the applicable break fee or upon a material breach by v2vmedtech. v2vmedtech may terminate the v2v Agreements once we no longer own any shares of v2vmedtech’s issued and outstanding capital stock or upon its exercise of its break rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the exercise of certain rights it holds under the Stock Purchase Agreement. We and v2vmedtech may terminate the v2v Agreements upon an event of insolvency or a material breach by the other party.

Development is currently in Stage 2 and has reached concept lock on the clips and coupler. Timing for a FIH trial cannot be reasonably determined at this time as it is contingent on successful completion of further stages of R&D, including the design, prototyping and testing, preclinical testing and completion of regulatory submissions. The timing to complete these activities is influenced by the v2v Agreements, which state that the development agreement can be terminated if certain expenditure amounts, development milestones or regulatory approvals are not incurred or achieved from March 31, 2027 and onwards. The total amount of eligible development contributions and operational contributions paid by us under the v2v Agreements as of December 31, 2024 was $3.6 million.

Ear Science Institute Australia

On December 5, 2022, we entered into a material development agreement (the ‘‘ESIAAgreement’’) with the Ear Science Institute Australia (‘‘ESIA’’), pursuant to which we have the right to use ESIA’s silk-based material to create a proprietary silk-based technology for human cardiovascular applications and develop a synthetic heart valve substitute for clinical use (together, the ‘‘ESIA New Technology’’). Pursuant to the ESIAAgreement, we investigated applying the ESIA New Technology to our DurAVR[®] THV design.

Under the terms of the ESIA Agreement, we own all intellectual property rights in the ESIA New Technology to the extent it relies on our own intellectual property rights or involves heart valves but shared the development costs with ESIA. Furthermore, it contained an option for a period of 12 months, upon expiration of the ESIA Agreement, for Anteris to negotiate an exclusive license to use certain technology owned by the ESIA to the extent necessary to further develop and commercialize the ESIA New Technology. Additionally, the ESIA New Technology cannot be used either for commercial purposes or on humans during the term of the ESIA Agreement.

It was determined that the ESIA material was not commercially viable for Anteris’ purposes. The development project under the ESIA Agreement extended beyond the initial December 31, 2024 term of the ESIA Agreement, however the development project, and therefore the agreement, was terminated on February 11, 2025. We did not receive any revenue from ESIA pursuant to the ESIA Agreement.

As of December 31, 2024, we paid an aggregate of $0.2 million to ESIA under the ESIA Agreement.

Government Regulation

United States FDA Regulation of Medical Devices

Our products are regulated as medical devices in the United States. Accordingly, our products and operations are subject to extensive and ongoing regulation by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (‘‘FDCA’’), as well as under other federal, state and local regulatory authorities in the United States, and under foreign regulatory authorities for medical devices. For devices intended for commercial distribution in the United States, the FDA regulates product design and development, pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, storage, record keeping and reporting, clearance or approval, marketing, distribution, promotion, import and export, and post-marketing surveillance to assure their safety and effectiveness for their intended uses.

Unless an exemption applies, each new medical device we seek to commercially distribute in the United States will require either a premarket notification to the FDA requesting a Section 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, or pre-market approval application (‘‘PMA’’). Additionally, each significant modification to a 510(k)-cleared or de novo classified device will require a new submission prior to marketing, and each modification that affects the safety and effectiveness of a device with an approved PMA will require a new PMA or supplement. The 510(k) clearance, de novo classification and pre-market approval processes can be resource intensive, expensive, and lengthy, and require payment of significant user fees unless a waiver or exemption is available.

FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes - Class I, Class II or Class III - depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of control needed to provide reasonable assurances with respect to safety and effectiveness.

Class I devices are those for which safety and effectiveness can be reasonably assured by adherence to the FDA’s general controls for medical devices, which include compliance with the applicable portions of FDA’s current good manufacturing practices for devices, establishment registration and device listing, reporting of adverse events and malfunctions, reporting of corrections and removals, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling and promotional materials. Some Class I devices, called Class I reserved devices, also require premarket clearance by the FDA through the 510(k) premarket notification process described below. Most Class I devices are exempt from the premarket notification requirements.

Class II devices are those that are subject to the FDA’s general controls and any other special controls deemed necessary by the FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device. These special controls can include performance standards, patient registries, product-specific FDA guidance documents, special labeling requirements and post-market surveillance. Most Class II devices are subject to premarket review and clearance by the FDA through the 510(k) premarket notification process, although some Class II devices are exempt from such requirement.

23

Under the 510(k) premarket notification process, a medical device manufacturer provides the FDA with a premarket notification that it intends to begin commercializing a product and demonstrates to the FDA that the product is substantially equivalent to another legally marketed predicate device. To be found substantially equivalent to a predicate device, the device must be for the same intended use and have either the same technological characteristics as the predicate or different technological characteristics that do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. In some cases, the submission must include data from clinical studies in order to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. Commercialization may commence when the FDA issues a clearance letter finding such substantial equivalence.

Class III devices include devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk. Class III devices include those devices that (i) cannot be classified into Class I or Class II because insufficient information exists to determine that general and special controls would provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, and (ii) are intended for uses that are life-supporting, life-sustaining, of substantial importance in preventing impairment in human health, or present a potential unreasonable risk of illness or injury.

Additionally, novel devices that lack a predicate device to which they can demonstrate substantial equivalence via the 510(k) premarket notification process are automatically classified into Class III, unless the manufacturer can demonstrate that the device should be classified into Class I or II via the de novo classification process, discussed below. Devices placed in Class III require approval of a PMA, which contains valid scientific evidence demonstrating a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use. The pre-market approval process is generally more costly and time consuming than the 510(k) premarket notification process or the de novo classification process. A PMA typically includes, but is not limited to, extensive technical information regarding device design and development, preclinical and clinical trial data, manufacturing information, labeling, and financial disclosure information for the clinical investigators in device studies.

Under the FDCA, medical devices such as the DurAVR[®] THV system are regulated by the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health (‘‘CDRH’’). Accordingly, CDRH reviews 510(k)s, de novo requests, and PMAs for clearance or approval.

CardioCel™, VascuCel™and ADAPT[®] are pericardial tissue products and are Class II medical devices.

CardioCel™was cleared for marketing by the FDA on January 30, 2014 as a Class II device. A modified version of CardioCel™was cleared for marketing by the FDA on April 28, 2017. VascuCel™(another modified version of CardioCel™) was cleared for marketing by the FDA on October 14, 2016. ADAPT[®] tissue was cleared for marketing by the FDA on April 3, 2020.

Replacement heart valves, including the DurAVR[®] THV, are Class III medical devices. Additionally, because the ComASUR[®] delivery system is required for use of the DurAVR[®] THV, the ComASUR[®] delivery system will be regulated as a component of the DurAVR[®] THV Class III device (as part of the overall system). Accordingly, the ComASUR[®] delivery system will be reviewed under any PMA submitted for the DurAVR[®] THV system.

As noted above, if a novel device lacks a predicate device to which it can demonstrate substantial equivalence via that 510(k) process, it is automatically classified into Class III, which means it requires a PMA. However, under the de novo classification process, a manufacturer that believes its novel device is actually low to moderate risk, can request the classification of the novel device into Class I or Class II. To obtain de novo classification, the manufacturer must demonstrate that when general controls, or general controls and special controls, are applied, the probable benefits to health from using the device outweigh probable risks of such use, and that a significant portion of the target population will have clinically significant results from use of the device. If a device is de novo classified into Class I or Class II, it becomes a legally marketed predicate device to which future devices can claim substantial equivalence by submitting a 510(k). The de novo classification process is generally more costly and time consuming than the 510(k) premarket notification process but can be less costly and time consuming than the pre-market approval process. A de novo classification request typically includes information similar to that required in a PMA, plus a recommendation for the proposed classification (Class I or Class II) and, if the device is proposed to be classified into Class II, any proposed special controls.

Obtaining FDA marketing clearance or approval for medical devices is expensive and uncertain, and may take several years, and generally requires significant scientific and clinical data. Our DurAVR[®] THV system is classified as a Class III device for which we expect to submit a PMA upon completion of the currently contemplated pivotal clinical trial.

IDE Process

In the United States, absent certain limited exceptions, human clinical trials intended to support medical device clearance or approval require IDE approval. An IDE authorizes distribution of devices that lack pre-market approval, de novo classification or 510(k) clearance for clinical evaluation purposes. Some types of studies deemed to present ‘‘non-significant risk’’ are deemed to have an approved IDE if certain requirements are satisfied, including but not limited to obtaining IRB approval for the study, obtaining informed consent from study subjects, and complying with certain recordkeeping and reporting requirements. If the device presents a ‘‘significant risk’’ to human health, as defined by the FDA, the sponsor must submit an IDE application to the FDA and obtain IDE approval prior to commencing the human clinical trials. The IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal, biocompatibility and laboratory testing results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the clinical test protocol is scientifically sound. The IDE application must be approved in advance by the FDA for a specified number of test subjects. Generally, clinical trials for a significant risk device may begin once the IDE application is approved by the FDA, the study protocol and informed consent documents are approved by appropriate IRBs at the clinical trial sites, and informed consent from study subjects has been obtained. There can be no assurance that submission of an IDE will result in the ability to commence clinical trials, and although the FDA’s approval of an IDE allows clinical testing to go forward for a specified number of subjects, it does not bind the FDA to accept the results of the trial as sufficient to prove the product’s safety and effectiveness, even if the trial meets its intended success criteria.

All non-exempt clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s IDE regulations that 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. Clinical trials must further comply with the FDA’s regulations for IRB approval and for informed consent and other human subject protections. Required records and reports are subject to inspection by the FDA and other applicable authorities.

The results of clinical trials may be unfavorable, or, even if the intended safety and effectiveness success criteria are achieved, may not be considered sufficient for the FDA to grant marketing approval or clearance of a product. The commencement or completion of any clinical trial may be delayed or halted, or be inadequate to support approval of a PMA, for numerous reasons, including the following:

  • the FDA or other regulatory authorities do not approve a clinical trial protocol or a clinical trial, or place a clinical trial on hold;

  • patients do not enroll in clinical trials at the rate expected;

  • patients do not comply with trial protocols;

  • patient follow-up is not at the rate expected;

  • patients die during a clinical trial, even though their death may not be related to the products that are part of the trial;

  • device malfunctions occur in unexpected ways, with unexpected frequency, or with potential adverse consequences;

  • side effects or device malfunctions of similar products already in the market that change the FDA’s view toward approval of new or similar pre-market approvals or clearance of new or similar 510(k)s or de novo classification requests, or result in the imposition of new requirements or testing;

  • IRBs and third-party clinical investigators may delay or reject the trial protocol;

  • third-party clinical investigators decline to participate in a trial or do not perform a trial on the anticipated schedule or consistent with the clinical trial protocol, investigator agreement, investigational plan, good clinical practices, the IDE regulations, or other FDA or IRB requirements;

  • we or third-party organizations do not perform data collection, monitoring and analysis in a timely or accurate manner or consistent with the clinical trial protocol or investigational or statistical plans, or otherwise fail to comply with the IDE regulations governing responsibilities, records, and reports of sponsors of clinical investigations;

  • third-party clinical investigators have significant financial interests related to us or our study such that the FDA deems the study results unreliable, or we or investigators fail to disclose such interests;

25

  • regulatory inspections of our clinical trials or manufacturing facilities, which may, among other things, require us to undertake corrective action or suspend or terminate our clinical trials;

  • changes in government regulations or administrative actions;

  • the interim or final results of the clinical trial are inconclusive or unfavorable as to safety or effectiveness; or

  • the FDA concludes that our trial design is unreliable or inadequate to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

The Pre-Market Approval Process

Following receipt of a PMA, the FDA conducts an administrative review to determine whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If it is not, the agency will refuse to file the PMA. If it is sufficiently complete, the FDA will accept the application for filing and begin the substantive review. The FDA, by statute and by regulation, has 180 days to review a filed PMA, although the review of an application more often occurs over a significantly longer period of time. During this review period, the FDA may request additional information or clarification of information already provided, and the FDA may issue a major deficiency letter to the applicant, requesting the applicant’s response to deficiencies within the submission communicated by the FDA. The issuance of a deficiency letter automatically stops the FDA 180-day review clock. The FDA considers a pre-market approval or pre-market approval supplement to have been voluntarily withdrawn if an applicant fails to respond to an FDA request for information (e.g. major deficiency letter) within a total of 360 days. Before approving or denying a PMA, the FDA may hold an advisory committee meeting to obtain advice related to the safety and effectiveness of the medical devices and provide the FDA with the committee’s recommendation on whether the FDA should approve the submission, approve it with specific conditions, or not approve it. The FDA is not bound by the recommendations of an advisory committee, but it considers such recommendations carefully when making decisions.

Prior to approval of a PMA, the FDA may conduct inspections of the clinical trial data and clinical trial sites, as well as inspections of the manufacturing facility and processes for the device. Overall, the FDA review of a PMA application generally takes between one and two years but may take significantly longer. The FDA can delay, limit or deny approval of a PMA for many reasons, including:

  • the device may not be shown to be safe or effective to the FDA’s satisfaction;

  • the data from preclinical studies and/or clinical trials may be found unreliable or insufficient to support approval;

  • the manufacturing process or facilities may not meet applicable requirements;

  • the proposed labeling is found to be false or misleading;

  • the device is not shown to conform to a required performance standard; or

  • changes in FDA approval policies or adoption of new regulations may require additional data.

If the FDA evaluation of a PMA is favorable, the FDA will issue either an approval letter or an approvable letter, the latter of which usually contains a number of conditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the PMA. When and if those conditions have been fulfilled to the satisfaction of the FDA, the agency will issue a pre-market approval letter authorizing commercial marketing of the device, subject to the conditions of approval and the limitations established in the approval letter. If the FDA’s evaluation of a PMA or manufacturing facilities is not favorable, then the FDA will deny the PMA or issue a not approvable letter. The FDA also may determine that additional tests or clinical trials are necessary, in which case the PMA may be delayed for several months or years while the trials are conducted and data is submitted in an amendment to the PMA, or the PMA is withdrawn and resubmitted when the data are available. The pre-market approval process can be expensive, uncertain and lengthy, and a number of devices for which the FDA pre-market approval has been sought by other companies have never been approved by the FDA for marketing.

New PMAs or pre-market approval supplements generally are required for modifications to an approved device that could affect the safety or effectiveness of an approved device, including modifications to the manufacturing process, equipment or facility, quality control procedures, sterilization, packaging, expiration date, labeling, device specifications, ingredients, materials or design of the device that has been approved through the pre-market approval

26

process. Pre-market approval supplements often require submission of the same type of information as an initial PMA, except that the supplement is limited to information needed to support ay changes from the device covered by the approved PMA and may or may not require as extensive technical or clinical data or the convening of an advisory panel, depending on the nature of the proposed change.

In approving a PMA, as a condition of approval, the FDA may also require some form of post-approval study or post-market surveillance. The applicant conducts a follow-up study or follows certain patient groups for a number of years and makes periodic reports to the FDA on the clinical status of those patients when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional or longer-term safety and effectiveness data for the device. The FDA may also require post-market surveillance for certain devices cleared under a 510(k) notification or de novo classification, such as implants or life-supporting or life-sustaining devices used outside a device user facility. The FDA may also approve a PMA with other post-approval conditions intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device, such as, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale, distribution and use. Modifications to the manufacturing process, labeling and design for a device which has received approval through the pre-market approval process generally require submission of a new PMA or pre-market approval supplement prior to marketing.

Ongoing Regulation by the FDA

Even after the FDA permits a device to be marketed, numerous regulatory requirements apply, including:

  • establishment registration and device listing;

  • the Device cGMP, which requires manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, production, control, supplier/contractor selection, complaint handling, documentation, and other quality assurance procedures during the manufacturing process;

  • labeling regulations, advertising and promotion requirements, restrictions on sale, distribution or use of a device, each including the FDA general prohibition against the promotion of products for any uses other than those cleared or approved by the FDA, which are commonly known as ‘‘off label’’ uses;

  • medical device reporting regulations requiring that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or if their device malfunctioned and the device or a similar device marketed by the manufacturer would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur;

  • medical device corrections and removal reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by a device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health;

  • recall requirements, including a mandatory recall if there is a reasonable probability that the device would cause serious adverse health consequences or death;

  • any order from FDA to repair, replace or refund a device;

  • product export requirements;

  • device tracking requirements; and

  • post-market study and surveillance requirements.

If a device receives 510(k) clearance or de novo classification, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or possibly a pre-market approval. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination initially, but the FDA can review any such decision and can disagree with a manufacturer’s determination. If the FDA disagrees with the manufacturer’s determination not to seek a new 510(k) clearance, the FDA may retroactively require the manufacturer to seek 510(k) clearance or possibly a pre-market approval. The FDA could also require us to cease marketing and distribution and/or to recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or a pre-market approval is obtained. Also, in these circumstances, we may be subject to more significant actions, including regulatory fines and penalties.

Some changes to an approved pre-market approval device, including changes in indications, labeling, or manufacturing processes or facilities, among others, generally require submission and FDA approval of a new PMA or pre-market approval supplement, as appropriate, before the change can be implemented. Supplements to a PMA

27

often require the submission of the same type of information required for an original PMA, except that the supplement is generally limited to that information needed to support the proposed change from the device covered by the original pre-market approval. The FDA generally uses the same procedures and actions in reviewing pre-market approval supplements as it does in reviewing original PMA, although some pre-market approval supplements may be approved more quickly, such as supplements describing certain modifications in the manufacturing process that do not affect the specifications of the device.

FDA regulations require us to register as a medical device manufacturer with the FDA. These regulations require that we manufacture our products and maintain related documentation in a prescribed manner with respect to manufacturing, testing and control activities. Furthermore, the FDArequires us to comply with various FDAregulations regarding labeling. Our facilities, records and manufacturing processes are subject to periodic unscheduled inspections by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. When the FDA conducts an inspection, the investigators will identify any deficiencies they believe exist in the form of a notice of inspectional observations, or Form FDA 483. If we receive a notice of inspectional observations or deficiencies from the FDA following an inspection, we would be required to respond in writing and would be required to undertake corrective and/or preventive or other actions in order to address the FDA’s or other regulators’ concerns. Failure to address the FDA’s concerns may result in the issuance of a warning letter or other enforcement or administrative actions described below.

Additionally, some states have enacted laws and regulations governing the manufacture, sale, marketing or distribution of medical devices. These laws and regulations may also require medical device manufacturers and/or distributors doing business within multiple states to register or apply for state licenses. These laws and regulations could also subject our facility to state inspection on a routine basis for compliance with any applicable state requirements.

Failure by us or by our suppliers to comply with applicable federal or state regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA or state authorities, which may include any of the following sanctions:

  • warning or untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

  • unanticipated expenditures, including for repairs, replacements, or refunds of devices;

  • customer notifications, voluntary or mandatory recall or seizure of our products;

  • operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

  • delay in reviewing, or refusal to clear or approve, submissions or applications for new products or modifications to existing products;

  • FDA refusal to issue certificates to foreign governments needed to export products for sale in other countries;

  • suspension or withdrawal of FDA approvals or clearances that have already been granted; and

  • criminal prosecution.

Newly discovered or developed safety or effectiveness data may require changes to a product’s labeling, including the addition of new warnings and contraindications, and also may require the implementation of other risk management measures. Also, new government requirements, including those resulting from new legislation or regulations, may be established, or the FDA’s policies may change, which could delay or prevent regulatory clearance or approval of our products under development.

Our facilities, records and manufacturing processes are subject to periodic unscheduled inspections by the FDA or other regulatory authorities.

Regulation of Medical Devices Outside the United States

Outside of the United States, the regulation of medical devices is also complex. In Europe, for instance, products are subject to extensive regulatory requirements. In 2021, a new regulatory scheme for medical devices, namely the EUMDR, became effective in EU Member States subject to a transition period during which some devices that were in conformity with the previous rules could still be placed on the EU market for some time. The EUMDR requires that medical devices may only be placed on the market or put into service if they meet certain pre-established general safety and performance requirements when properly installed, maintained, and used in accordance with their intended purpose. The EUMDR has significant requirements for many medical devices, including requirements for clinical evidence necessary to demonstrate the devices’ conformity (and the related documentation), device identification and traceability, registration of devices and

28

of economic operators throughout the distribution chain and post-market surveillance (dealing with the collection and review of the experience gained from devices for the purpose of identifying any for any necessary corrective or preventive actions after they have been placed on the market or put into service). In some regions, the level of government regulation of medical devices is increasing, which can lengthen time to market and increase registration and approval costs. In many countries, the national health or social security organizations require products to be qualified before they can be marketed and considered eligible for reimbursement.

In many instances, global regulatory agencies have come together in an attempt to harmonize medical device regulatory requirements. In 2011, the regulatory agencies of Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, European Union, Japan and the United States, as well as the World Health Organization came together and established the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (the ‘‘IMDRF’’). The IMDRF continues to grow and now has a management committee of regulatory agency representatives from 10 countries as well as the European Union and affiliate members and observers from many other countries. One example of the IMDRF harmonizing medical device regulatory requirements is the Medical Device Single Audit Program, whereby a medical device manufacturer can have a single Quality Management System audit of their facility which covers the regulatory requirements of Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan and the United States. Instead of having separate periodic quality inspections from regulators of each of these countries, a single comprehensive inspection is performed.

Other regional groups working to harmonize regulatory requirements are the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group, Global Harmonization Working Party and African Medical Devices Forum. While regulatory requirements are constantly evolving, regulatory agencies recognize the impact and are attempting to harmonize their efforts.

While the list of regulated countries continues to grow, many of the regulated countries leverage device approvals from the US or Europe, meaning that the testing and clinical studies required to satisfy device safety and efficacy requirements of the US and Europe, often carry over to other geographies.

Other United States Regulatory Matters

Medical device companies are subject to additional healthcare regulation and enforcement by the federal government and by authorities in the states and foreign jurisdictions in which they conduct their business. Manufacturing, sales, promotion, third-party payor reimbursement and other activities following product clearance or approval are subject to regulation by numerous regulatory authorities in the United States in addition to the FDA, including the CMS, other divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services (‘‘DHHS’’), the Department of Justice, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and state and local governments. For example, in the United States, sales, marketing, participation in government health care programs or contracts with third-party payors, and scientific and educational programs also must comply with state and federal fraud and abuse, anti-kickback, false claims, transparency, government price reporting, anti-corruption, and health information privacy and security laws and regulations. Internationally, other governments also impose regulations in connection with their healthcare reimbursement programs and the delivery of healthcare items and services. These laws include the following:

  • United States federal healthcare fraud and abuse laws generally apply to our activities because our products are covered under federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute (the ‘‘Anti-Kickback Statute’’) is particularly relevant because of its broad applicability. The Anti-Kickback Statute makes it illegal for any person, including a prescription medical device manufacturer (or a party acting on its behalf), to knowingly and willfully solicit, receive, offer or pay any remuneration that is intended to induce or reward referrals, including the purchase, recommendation, order or prescription of a particular medical device, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program, such as Medicare or Medicaid.Almost any financial arrangement with a healthcare provider, patient or customer could implicate the Anti-Kickback Statute. Statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protect certain arrangements if specific requirements are met. Individual states have corollaries to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute that may also apply and may be more expansive or impose additional requirements.

  • Another fraud and abuse law that may be implicated by ownership and compensation arrangements with health care professionals or their families is the Physician Self-Referral Law, commonly referred to as the ‘‘Stark Law’’. The Stark Law prohibits physicians from referring patients to receive ‘‘designated health services’’ payable by Medicare or Medicaid from entities with which the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship, unless an exception applies. While the Stark Law generally only provides to those entities that provide ‘‘designated health services’’ and submit claims for such services, it

29

may nonetheless be implicated by certain ownership or compensation arrangements with health care professionals or family members. Individual states have corollaries to the federal Stark law that may also apply and may be more expansive or impose additional requirements.

  • Another development affecting the medical technology industry is the increased use of the federal Civil False Claims Act (the ‘‘False Claims Act’’) and, in particular, actions brought pursuant to the False Claims Act’s ‘‘whistleblower’’ or ‘‘qui tam’’ provisions. In recent years, the number of suits brought against healthcare companies by private individuals has increased dramatically. The federal civil and criminal false claims acts prohibit individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to the federal government, claims for payment that are false or fraudulent or making a false statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government. Individual states have false claims acts with respect to Medicaid spending that may also apply and may be more expansive or impose additional requirements. Additionally, some states have insurance fraud provisions that apply to commercial payors or all payors under insurance laws that have similar whistleblower or relator provisions (e.g., Insurance Fraud Prevention Act for California).

  • The Civil Monetary Penalty Act of 1981 (‘‘CMP’’) allows the DHHS Office of Inspector General to seek civil monetary penalties and sometimes exclusion from participation in the government health care programs for a wide variety of conduct. For example, the CMP and implementing regulations impose penalties against any person or entity that is determined to have presented or caused to be presented a claim to a federal healthcare program that the person knows or should know is for an item or service that was not provided as claimed or is false or fraudulent. Other conduct that may result in violation of the CMP is 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.

  • The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (‘‘HIPAA’’) prohibits executing or attempting to execute a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to healthcare matters. HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (‘‘HITECH’’) and their implementing regulations, also imposes obligations, including mandatory contractual terms, with respect to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. While HIPAA applies only to covered entities, which generally does not include device manufacturers, HIPAA and HITECH impose those same obligations to business associates under contractual terms. HIPAAmay also still apply directly to the manufacturer depending on the scope and nature of data sharing arrangement or other contracting arrangements. In addition to HIPAA and its accompanying regulations, device manufacturers may be subject to additional state consumer and privacy laws which may be more expansive or restrictive on the use and protection of patient and consumer data.

  • The FDCA prohibits the adulteration or misbranding of medical devices. Medical device manufacturers may also be subject to state corollaries to the FDCA.

  • The federal Physician Payment Sunshine Act and its implementing regulations, which require applicable manufacturers of covered drugs, devices, biologicals and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (with certain exceptions) to report annually to CMS and DHHS information related to payments or other transfers of value made to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors), non-physician healthcare professionals (such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners, among others) and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members.

  • The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (‘‘FCPA’’) prohibits any United States individual or business from paying, offering, or authorizing payment or offering of anything of value, directly or indirectly, to any foreign official, political party or candidate for the purpose of influencing any act or decision of the foreign entity in order to assist the individual or business in obtaining or retaining business. The FCPA also obligates companies whose securities are listed in the United States to comply with accounting provisions requiring us to maintain books and records that accurately and fairly reflect all transactions of the corporation, including international subsidiaries, if any, and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls for international operations. On February 10, 2025, Executive Order ‘‘Pausing Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Enforcement to Further American Economic and National Security’’ was signed, which directs the U.S. attorney general to review and update guidelines and policies related to FCPA enforcement and to cease new FCPA investigations and enforcement actions until a new enforcement policy is implemented.

30

  • Analogous state and foreign laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback, anti-referral, and false claims laws, which may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third-party payors, including private insurers; state laws that require certain medical device companies to comply with the industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government and may require applicable manufacturers to disclose or report certain information related to payments and other transfers of value to health care professionals and entities or sales, marketing, pricing, clinical trials, marketing expenditures and activities, and state and foreign laws that govern the privacy and security of health information in some circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts; and state laws related to insurance fraud in the case of claims involving private insurers.

United States Health Care Reform

Changes in healthcare policy in the United States subject us to additional regulatory requirements that may interrupt the development and the commercialization of our current and future products. Current and future legislative proposals may limit coverage for the procedures associated with the use of our products. Changes in healthcare policy may further reform state and federal legislation and regulations related to reimbursement and coverage for our current and future products.

We believe that there will continue to be proposals by legislators at both the federal and state levels, regulators and third-party payors to disclose and/or reduce health care costs while expanding individual healthcare benefits. Certain of these changes could impose additional limitations on the rates we will be able to charge for our current and future products or the amounts of reimbursement available for our current and future products from governmental agencies or third-party payors. Federal and state regulators are also prioritizing costs and charge transparency initiatives, including rebate programs, that may impact our ability to charge and collect payment for our products or charging and collection activities for services that use our products. Other initiatives currently on the healthcare reform agenda include value-based care initiatives, which will impact medical device sales and contracting models, and therefore, product pricing. However, such health policy priorities are consistently evolving and subject to change under shifting political conditions and leadership. As such, depending on policy priorities, current and future health care reform legislation and policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition given the potential impact to the availability and demand for our products. Notably, we will be impacted by the reimbursement coverage eligibility and rate schedules set by CMS for both our products and for services and procedures involving our products. For example, on June 21, 2019, CMS issued a National Coverage Determination for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement which informed Medicare Administrative Contractors of coverage requirements for the procedure. Current coverage and reimbursement levels are subject to ongoing analysis and could change, thus having an adverse effect on market demand and our pricing flexibility.

Data Privacy and Security

Numerous state, federal and foreign laws govern health privacy, consumer protection, and other use of individually identifiable information. This includes the collection, dissemination, use, access to, confidentiality and security of personal information and health-related information. In the United States, numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including data breach notification laws, health information privacy and security laws, including HIPAA, and federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations, that govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of health-related and other personal information could apply to our operations or the operations of our partners. Notably, the Office for Civil Rights at DHHS has expanded the application of HIPAA to regulated entities’ use of tracking technologies that collect and analyze information about how users interact with regulated entities’ websites or mobile applications. In addition, certain state and non-United States laws and regulations, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, the California Privacy Rights Act and the EU General Data Protection Regulation, govern the privacy and security of personal information, including health-related information in certain circumstances, some of which are more stringent than HIPAA and many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts. Failure to comply with these laws or regulations, where applicable, can result in the imposition of significant civil and/or criminal penalties and private litigation. Privacy and security laws, regulations, and other obligations are constantly evolving, may conflict with each other to complicate compliance efforts, and can result in investigations, proceedings, or actions that lead to significant civil and/or criminal penalties and restrictions on data processing.

None of the expenses associated with the initial public offering were paid to directors, officers, persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities, or to our affiliates.

Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, we completed the Reorganization pursuant to which we received all of the issued and outstanding shares of ATL, which was formerly an Australian public company originally registered in Western Australia, Australia and listed on the ASX, pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Australian law between ATL and its shareholders (the ‘‘Scheme’’) under Part 5.1 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the ‘‘Corporations Act’’). Contemporaneously with implementation of the Scheme, ATL also cancelled all existing options it had on issue in exchange for our company issuing replacement options to acquire Common Stock pursuant to a scheme of arrangement between ATL and its optionholders (the ‘‘Option Scheme’’) under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act. The Scheme was approved by ATL’s shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders, which was held on December 3, 2024. The Option Scheme was approved by ATL’s optionholders at a general meeting of optionholders held on the same day. ATL obtained approval of the Scheme and the Option Scheme by the Supreme Court of Queensland on December 4, 2024. As a result of the Reorganization, ATL became a wholly owned subsidiary of our company and the shareholders of ATL immediately prior to the consummation of the initial public company became holders of the either one share of Common Stock for every ordinary share of ATL or one CDI for every one ordinary share of ATL for each share held as of the record date.

In connection with the Reorganization, on December 16, 2024, we issued (i) 21,139,816 shares of Common Stock to shareholders of ATL, 20,360,496 of which are represented by CDIs, pursuant to the Scheme and (ii) 6,118,807 options to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Option Scheme. The foregoing issuances were made pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. Each option is exercisable into one share of Common Stock, including as represented by a CDI, upon the payment of the relevant exercise price.

Human Capital

Overview

As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 136 full time equivalent employees. We have never experienced a work stoppage or interruption due to labor disputes. We believe our relations with our employees are good.

Employee Talent and Retention

Our business and future operating results depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our key personnel, including qualified personnel with medical device and tissue processing experience, and senior management with experience in the medical device or tissue processing space, many of whom would be difficult to replace. Our business and future operating results depend in significant part on our ability to attract and retain qualified management, operations, processing, marketing, sales, and support personnel for our operations.

We have programs and processes in place to help ensure that our compensation, benefits programs, and work environment attract and retain such personnel, and we strive to enhance those programs and processes to respond to the increasingly competitive market for talent. We also strive to offer competitive equitable pay, comprehensive benefits, and services that retain and meet the varying needs of our employees. The principal purposes of our equity and cash incentive plans and non-officer incentive plans are to attract, retain, motivate, and reward our employees.

32

Culture

Fostering and maintaining a strong and collaborative culture is a key strategic focus. We also have ethics and compliance policies that are designed to instill a commitment to ethical behavior and legal compliance across our company. Employees are encouraged to approach their supervisors if they believe violations of policies have occurred. Employees are also able to confidentially and anonymously report any such violations through ethics and compliance hotlines and an online form. Furthermore, the company has a whistleblower policy whereby employees are able to submit an anonymous disclosure either by email, web form or our ethics and compliance hotlines.

We aim to hire based on our AORTIC (Accountability, Objectivity, Respect, Teamwork, Integrity, Courage) values and continuously build our culture around those values. Employees are encouraged to present culture building activities that promote collaboration and inclusivity.

Training and Development

We are committed to the learning and development of all global team members by offering training programs. The goals of the training programs are to highlight and boost our company culture, empower employees to add knowledge and skills, increase their job satisfaction and increase team productivity with behaviors that help us succeed on our mission together. Such programs include educational workshops, department-led knowledge-based training (i.e., quality systems, safety, simulation demonstrations), leadership development cohorts, AORTIC values skill building, and new hire onboarding.

Health and Safety

We are committed to providing a safe working environment compliant with all relevant and applicable laws. We maintain our commitment to a safe working environment by routinely conducting assessments of the workplace in order to detect, assess and respond to identified hazards or risks; giving preference to removing any hazards or risks in order to prevent injury, illness or incidents from occurring; and striving to reduce the likelihood of the risk or hazard occurring and its severity, where we are unable to eliminate the risk entirely. We have processes to report all work-related injuries, illness and near-misses to management.

Responsibilities of employees and managers are to create and maintain a safe working environment by reporting any unsafe conditions or potential hazards immediately for assessment and remediation; following all safe work method statements, safe travel practices, procedures, instructions, rules legislation and laws relating to workplace health and safety; treating all breaches of workplace health and safety standards seriously and taking appropriate action; and providing adequate information, instruction, training and supervision to enable our employees to perform their roles effectively and safely.

Employee Engagement

We solicit anonymous employee feedback to assess employee satisfaction and engagement and to identify opportunities for development through a third-party provider. Employee feedback is also gathered through surveys, the employee review process, pulse surveys, and exit interviews.

Available Information

Prior to the Reorganization, regulatory information on the Company was filed with the ASX. Following the Reorganization, the Company files information with both the ASX and the SEC.

We file Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements, and related amendments, exhibits and other information with the SEC.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risks Related to Our Business

Risks Related to Our Operating History and Financial Position

We have a history of operating losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

We have experienced significant recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had total losses after income tax of $76.0 million and $46.8 million, respectively, and negative cash flows from operating activities of $61.2 million and $34.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $276.4 million and $200.1 million, respectively. We expect to continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. The losses and negative cash flows have primarily been due to the substantial investments we have made to develop our products, costs related to our sales and marketing efforts, costs related to clinical and regulatory initiatives to obtain marketing approval, and infrastructure improvements.

We are a clinical-stage medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative minimally invasive devices to treat heart valve diseases. The success of any product development is uncertain. We expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we grow our business, including the continuing development and potential future commercialization of DurAVR[®] THV system, as well as continuing to invest in R&D. Moreover, there is a substantial risk that we may not be able to complete the development of DurAVR[®] THV system or develop other products. It is possible that none of our products will be successfully commercialized and, if that were to be the case, this would prevent us from ever achieving profitability.

We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other known and unknown factors and risks frequently experienced by early-stage medical technology companies in rapidly evolving fields. In addition, as a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Accordingly, we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and we cannot assure you that we will achieve profitability in the future or that, if we do become profitable, we will sustain profitability. Our failure to achieve and sustain profitability in the future will make it more difficult to finance our capital requirements needed to operate our business and accomplish our strategic objectives, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.

To become and remain profitable, we must succeed in identifying, developing, conducting successful clinical trials for, obtaining regulatory clearance and approval for, and eventually commercializing, manufacturing and supplying products, including DurAVR[®] THV system, that generate significant revenue. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including completing clinical trials and preclinical studies of our products, continuing to discover and develop additional products, obtaining regulatory clearance and approval for any products that successfully complete clinical trials, developing manufacturing processes and methods, devising and implementing processes for transferring technology and manufacturing processes to a network of third-party manufacturing sites, establishing necessary quality control, establishing marketing capabilities, and commercializing and ultimately selling any approved products. We may never succeed in any or all of these activities and, even if we do, we may never generate revenue that is sufficient to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain profitability or meet outside expectations for our profitability. If we are unable to achieve or sustain profitability or to meet outside expectations for our profitability, the price of our Common Stock could be materially adversely affected.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of medical device products, we are unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when, or if, we will be able to achieve profitability. If we are required by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities to perform studies in addition to those we currently anticipate, or if there are any delays in commencing or completing our clinical trials or the development of any of our products, our expenses could increase and commercial revenue could be further delayed and become more uncertain, which will have a material adverse impact on our business.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As a result of our net loss and net cash outflows from operating activities, our independent external auditor included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 that indicated our results raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern.

34

The conditions giving rise to this uncertainty and our plan with respect to this uncertainty are disclosed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements. Our future viability as an ongoing business is dependent on our ability to attract additional capital and ultimately, upon our ability to develop future profitable operations. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding to fund continuing operations on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The perception that we might be unable to continue as a going concern may also make it more difficult to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations on terms that are favorable to us, or at all, and could result in the loss of confidence from investors and employees. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our financial statements, and it is likely that our investors will lose all or a part of their investment.

We will require substantial additional future financing and may be unable to raise sufficient capital, which could have a material impact on our R&D programs or commercialization of our products.

Developing medical device products, including conducting clinical trials and preclinical studies, is a very time-consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes years to complete. Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception, and our expenses will continue to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we conduct our ongoing and planned preclinical studies and clinical trials of, and seek regulatory clearance and approval for, our current products, including DurAVR[®] THV system, and future products we may develop or otherwise acquire. Even if one or more of our products is approved for commercial sale, we anticipate incurring significant costs associated with commercializing any approved product, including manufacturing and supply costs, as well as costs associated with establishing a sales and end-to-end supply chain management infrastructure.

We have historically devoted most of our financial resources to R&D. To date, we have financed a significant amount of our operations through equity financings, including our initial public offering, and to a lesser extent, through the divestment of business segments and incurrence of indebtedness and convertible indebtedness. The amount of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of our future expenditures and our ability to obtain funding through equity or debt financings or strategic collaborations. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to:

  • the scope, timing, progress, costs and results of discovery, preclinical development and clinical trials for our current or future products;

  • the number and size of clinical trials required for regulatory clearance and approval of our current or future products;

  • the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of any of our current or future products;

  • the costs associated with acquiring or licensing additional products, technologies or assets;

  • the cost of manufacturing clinical and commercial supplies of our current or future products;

  • the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending against any intellectual property-related claims, including any claims by third parties that we are infringing upon their intellectual property rights;

  • our ability to maintain existing, and establish new, strategic collaborations or other arrangements and the financial terms of any such agreements;

  • the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including manufacturing, marketing, sales and end-to-end supply chain management, for any of our products for which we receive regulatory clearance and approval;

  • the revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our products for which we receive regulatory clearance and approval;

  • expenses to attract, hire and retain skilled personnel;

  • the costs of operating as a dual-listed public company;

  • our ability to establish a commercially viable pricing structure and obtain approval for coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party and government payors;

35

  • the effect of competing technological and market developments; and

  • the extent to which we acquire or invest in additional businesses, products and technologies.

The amount of such future net losses, as well as the possibility of future profitability, will also depend on our success in developing and commercializing products that generate significant revenue. Until our products become commercially available, we will need to obtain additional funding in connection with the further development of our products. Our ability to obtain additional financing will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment. As such, additional financing may not be available to us when needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our R&D programs or any future commercialization efforts or obtain funds by entering agreements on unattractive terms.

Furthermore, any additional equity and equity-linked fundraising in the capital markets may be dilutive for stockholders and any debt-based funding may bind us to restrictive covenants and curb our operating activities and ability to pay potential future dividends even when profitable. In addition, the issuance of additional equity and equity-linked securities by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, we will be prevented from pursuing R&D efforts. This could harm our business, operating results and financial condition and cause the price of our Common Stock to fall.

We may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, which could negatively impact our operations.

We have experienced rapid growth and expect to continue to grow in the future. As we advance our clinical development programs for our products, seek regulatory clearance and approval in the United States and elsewhere and increase the number of ongoing product development programs, we anticipate that we will need to increase our product development, scientific and administrative headcount. Due to the complexity in managing a company that has scaled very quickly and anticipates continued growth, we may not be able to scale our headcount and operations effectively to manage the expansion of our product pipeline or recruit and train the necessary additional personnel. As our operations expand, we also expect that we will need to manage additional relationships with various strategic partners, suppliers and other third parties. We will also need to establish commercial capabilities in order to commercialize any products that may be approved. Such an evolution may impact our strategic focus and our deployment and allocation of resources.

Our ability to manage our operations and growth effectively depends upon the continual improvement of our procedures, reporting systems and operational, financial and management controls. We may not be able to implement administrative and operational improvements in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls. If we do not meet these challenges, we may be unable to execute our business strategies and may be forced to expend more resources than anticipated addressing these issues.

In addition, in order to continue to meet our obligations as a publicly listed company in both Australia and the United States and to support our anticipated long-term growth, we will need to continue to increase our general and administrative capabilities. Our management, personnel and systems may not be adequate to support this future growth.

If we are unable to successfully manage our growth and the increased complexity of our operations, our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects may be harmed.

Unstable market and economic conditions, including as a result of geopolitical events, such as the war in Ukraine, may have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, either directly or through adverse impacts on certain of the third parties on which we rely to conduct certain aspects of our preclinical studies or clinical trials.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets. From time to time, the global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rising inflation and monetary supply shifts, rising interest rates, labor shortages, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates, recession risks, and uncertainty about economic and geopolitical stability. Following the COVID-19 pandemic and in connection with geopolitical conflicts, global economic and business

36

activities continue to face widespread uncertainties. There can be no assurance that future deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. A severe or prolonged economic downturn, or additional global financial or political crises, could result in a variety of risks to our business, including delayed clinical trials or preclinical studies, delayed approval of our products, delayed ability to obtain patents and other intellectual property protection, weakened demand for our products, if approved, or our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon clinical development plans. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our current service providers, manufacturers, suppliers and other partners may not survive an economic downturn, which could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget.

Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business. Furthermore, our stock price may decline due in part to the volatility of the stock market and the general economic downturn.

Additionally, in February 2022, Russia commenced a military invasion of Ukraine. The ongoing conflict and political and physical conditions in Ukraine and Russia, as well as in neighboring countries, may disrupt our FIH study in Tbilisi, Georgia, including the ability of third parties on which we rely to perform in accordance with our expectations. Moreover, our ability to conduct 12-month follow-ups with our study participants may be adversely affected as a result of the ongoing conflict, which could significantly delay our clinical development plans and potential clearance or approval of products or cause us to increase our R&D expenses to conduct one or more additional studies, any of which could increase our costs and jeopardize our ability to successfully commercialize our products, if approved.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Unsuccessful clinical trials or procedures relating to products could have a material adverse effect on our future prospects.

The regulatory clearance and approval process for new products and new intended uses for existing products can require extensive clinical trials and feasibility studies. Unfavorable or inconsistent clinical data from current or future clinical trials or procedures conducted by us or third parties, or perceptions regarding this clinical data, could adversely affect our ability to obtain necessary clearances and approvals and the market’s view of our future prospects. Such clinical trials and procedures are inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that these trials or procedures will be enrolled or completed in a timely or cost-effective manner or result in positive clinical data or a commercially viable product. Clinical trials or procedures may experience significant setbacks even if earlier trials have shown promising results. Furthermore, preliminary results from clinical trials or procedures may be contradicted by subsequent analyses. In addition, results from our clinical trials or procedures may not be supported by actual long-term studies or clinical experience. If preliminary clinical results are later contradicted, or if initial results cannot be supported by actual long-term studies or clinical experience, our business could be adversely affected. Clinical trials or procedures may be delayed, suspended or terminated by us, the FDA or other regulatory authorities at any time if it is believed that the trial participants face unacceptable health risks or any other reasons, and any such delay, suspension, or termination could have a material adverse effect on our prospects or the market’s view of our future prospects.

In particular, our lead product, DurAVR[®] THV system, is undertaking clinical trials designed to provide the primary clinical evidence on which the FDA could base a decision for pre-market approval (as defined under ‘‘ Business — Government Regulation — United States FDA Regulation of Medical Devices ’’) required for commercialization of the DurAVR[®] THV system in the United States. There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete the clinical trials and obtain pre-market approval for the DurAVR[®] THV system.

If we are unable to successfully identify, develop, obtain and maintain regulatory clearance or approval for and ultimately commercialize any of our current or future products, or experience significant delays in doing so, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.

The clinical development, manufacturing, sales and marketing of our products are subject to extensive regulation as medical devices by regulatory authorities in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and elsewhere. Our ability to generate revenue from sales of any of our products depends heavily on the

37

successful identification, development, regulatory clearance or approval for and eventual commercialization of any products. All of our products, including DurAVR[®] THV, will require significant preclinical and clinical development, regulatory clearance or approval, establishment of sufficient manufacturing supply, including commercial manufacturing supply, and may require us to build a commercial organization and make substantial investment and significant marketing efforts before we generate any revenue from product sales. We are not permitted to market or promote any of our products before we receive regulatory clearance or approval from the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Obtaining regulatory clearances and approvals for new products and manufacturing processes can take a number of years and involve expenditure of substantial resources, and, despite the substantial time and expense invested, we may never receive such regulatory clearance or approval for DurAVR[®] THV system or other products. The development and commercialization of our products is subject to many risks, including:

  • additional clinical trials may be required beyond what we currently expect;

  • the risk that our financial and other resources are not sufficient to complete the necessary clinical trials;

  • regulatory authorities may disagree with our interpretation of data from our clinical trials or may require that we conduct additional trials;

  • we may be unable to obtain and maintain regulatory clearance or approval of our products in any jurisdiction;

  • regulatory authorities may identify deficiencies in manufacturing processes;

  • regulatory authorities may lack sufficient resources to timely and completely address applications for regulatory clearance or approval of our products;

  • regulatory authorities may change their clearance or approval policies or adopt new regulations;

  • we, or our third-party manufacturers, may not be able to source or produce current Good Manufacturing Practice (‘‘cGMP’’) materials for the production of our products or product candidates;

  • our products, if approved, may not be able to be manufactured at a cost or in quantities necessary to make commercially successful products;

  • we may experience delays in the commencement of, enrollment of patients in and timing of our clinical trials;

  • we may not be able to achieve and maintain compliance with all regulatory requirements applicable to our products or operations;

  • we may not be able to maintain a continued acceptable safety profile of our products following clearance or approval;

  • the market may not accept our products, if approved;

  • we may be unable to establish and maintain an effective sales and marketing infrastructure, either through the creation of a commercial infrastructure or through strategic collaborations, and the effectiveness of our own or any future strategic collaborators’ marketing, sales and distribution strategy and operations will affect our profitability;

  • we may experience competition from existing products or new products that may emerge;

  • we may be unable to successfully obtain, maintain, defend and enforce intellectual property rights important to protect our products; and

  • we may not be able to obtain and maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors.

If any of these risks materialize, we could experience significant delays or an inability to successfully develop and commercialize our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

38

The successful development of our pipeline of products is highly uncertain and requires significant expenditures and time. In addition, obtaining necessary government clearances and approvals is time-consuming and not assured. If we do not obtain the necessary regulatory clearances or approvals, then we would be unable to commercialize our products.

We currently have a number of products, including DurAVR[®] THV system, in development. We conduct extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy in humans of our products in order to obtain regulatory clearance or approval for the sale of our products. Preclinical studies and clinical trials are expensive, complex, can take many years and have uncertain outcomes. None of, or only a small number of, our R&D programs may actually result in the commercialization of a product. We will not be able to commercialize our products if preclinical studies do not produce successful results or if clinical trials do not demonstrate safety and efficacy in humans.

Success in preclinical studies or early-stage clinical trials does not ensure that later stage clinical trials will be successful, nor does it ensure that regulatory clearance or approval for the product will be obtained. In addition, the process for the completion of preclinical and clinical trials is lengthy and may be subject to a number of delays for various reasons, which would delay the commercialization of any successful product. If our development projects are not successful or are significantly delayed, we may not recover our substantial investments in the product and our failure to bring these products to market on a timely basis, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations and could cause the market value of our Common Stock to decline.

Obtaining regulatory clearances and approvals for new products and manufacturing processes can take a number of years and involve the expenditure of substantial resources. Despite the substantial time and expense invested, regulatory clearance or approval is never guaranteed. The number, size and design of clinical trials that will be required will vary depending on the product or condition for which the product is intended to be used and the regulations and guidance documents applicable to any particular product. Additionally, during the review process and prior to approval, the FDA or other regulatory bodies could require additional data, which could delay approval. The FDA or other regulators can delay, limit or deny clearance or approval of a product for many reasons, including governmental resources availability and allocation, or adopt new policies or regulations requiring new or different evidence of safety and efficacy for the intended use of a product. In addition, even if such clearance or approval is secured, the approved labeling may have significant labeling limitations, including limitations on the indications for which we can market a product, or require onerous risk management programs. Furthermore, from time to time, changes to the applicable legislation, regulations or policies may be introduced that change these review and approval processes for our products, which may make it more difficult and costly to obtain or maintain regulatory clearances and approvals.

Successful results in clinical trials and in the subsequent application for marketing approval are not guaranteed. If we are unable to obtain regulatory clearances and approvals, we will not be able to commercialize and generate revenue from our products. Even if we receive regulatory clearance or approval for any of our products, our profitability will depend on our ability to commercialize and generate revenues from their sale or the licensing of our technology. The failure to commercialize our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations and could cause the market value of our Common Stock to decline.

Even if a product receives regulatory clearance or approval, it may still face development and regulatory difficulties that could delay or impair future sales of products.

Following initial regulatory clearance or approval of any products, we will be subject to continuing regulatory review by various government authorities in those countries where our products are marketed or intended to be marketed, including the review of potential malfunctions and adverse events that are reported after products become commercially available. In addition, we will be subject to ongoing audits and inspections of our facilities and products by the FDA, as well as other regulatory agencies in and outside the United States. Previously unknown problems with the product could result in restrictions on the marketing of the product, including withdrawal of the product from the market.

In addition, if we were to receive regulatory clearance or approval to sell our DurAVR[®] THV system or another product, the relevant regulatory authorities could, nevertheless, impose significant restrictions on the indicated uses, manufacturing, labelling, packaging, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion and record keeping or impose ongoing requirements for post-approval studies.

39

If we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements in those countries where our products are sold, we could lose our marketing clearances or approvals or be subject to fines or other sanctions. Also, as a condition to granting marketing clearance or approval of a product, the applicable regulatory agencies may require a company to conduct additional clinical trials or remediate cGMP issues, the results of which could result in the subsequent loss of marketing approval, changes in product labeling or new or increased concerns about side effects or efficacy of a product.

In addition, incidents of medical device related adverse events or unintended side effects or misuse relating to our products could result in additional regulatory controls or restrictions or lead to a recall or withdrawal of the product from the market. A recall or market withdrawal, whether voluntary or required by a regulatory authority, may involve significant costs to us, potential disruptions in the supply of our products to our customers and reputational harm to our products and business, all of which could harm our ability to market our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations and could cause the market value of our Common Stock to decline.

Even with regulatory clearance or approval to bring a product to market, our profitability may be impacted by ongoing coverage and reimbursement determinations by government health care programs and other third-party payors for our products, or procedures and services that rely on our products.

Our products and technologies may be paid for by the CMS and other government or third-party payors or will be used by hospitals and health care providers who are reimbursed for procedures and services involving our products. Such payment determinations are subject to pre-approval qualifications and satisfaction of appropriate criteria. CMS, or other third-party payors, may seek to lower costs or limit use of our products as a means to achieve lower health care costs. The sale and demand for our products may be adversely impacted by such coverage and reimbursement determinations.

Participation in government health care programs and contracts with third-party payors will require ongoing compliance with federal and state health care laws and agreement terms.

We will be subject to ongoing monitoring for compliance with federal and state laws, as well as contractual terms, if we receive third-party payor reimbursement for our products, or are engaged with entities that receive reimbursement for procedures and services involving our products. Violation of such laws or contractual terms may result in significant fines and fees, withholding of payment, or removal from the third-party payor programs, which would impact our profitability.

Our products that are in development may not achieve market acceptance, if approved, which could limit our growth and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Even if the FDA or any comparable foreign regulatory authority clears or approves the marketing of any product that we develop, physicians, healthcare providers, patients or the medical community may not accept or use them. DurAVR[®] THV system and other products are still in the development stage and are based on our proprietary technologies. We do not have proven marketing or sales strategies for such new products, nor do we know if customers will accept our products, if approved, and therefore we do not know how the introduction of any approved products will affect our business. If these products do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, we may not generate significant product revenues or any profits from operations. Our product portfolio continues to expand, and we are investing significant resources to enter into, and in some cases create new markets for, our products. We are continuing to invest resources to achieve clearance and approval and market acceptance of our products but are unable to guarantee that we will succeed.

The degree of market acceptance of our products, if approved, will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • the timing of market introduction of our products, as well as competitive products;

  • the clinical indications for which a product is approved;

  • perceived benefits from our products;

  • perceived cost effectiveness of our products;

  • perceived safety and effectiveness of our products;

  • the effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts;

40

  • the terms of any clearances or approvals and the countries in which clearances and approvals are obtained;

  • our ability to provide acceptable evidence of safety and efficacy;

  • marketing, manufacturing and supply support;

  • potential product liability claims;

  • the willingness of patients to pay out-of-pocket in the absence of coverage by third-party payors and government authorities;

  • in certain instances, reimbursement available through government and private healthcare programs for using our products; and

  • introduction and acceptance of competing products or technologies.

If our products do not gain market acceptance or if our customers prefer our competitors’ products, our potential revenue growth would be limited, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if some of our products achieve market acceptance, the market may prove not to be large enough to allow us to generate significant revenues.

Failure to successfully innovate and develop new and differentiated products in a timely manner and effectively market these products could have a material effect on our prospects.

Our continued growth and success depend on our ability to innovate and develop new and differentiated products in a timely manner and effectively market these products. Without the timely innovation and development of products, our products could be rendered obsolete or less competitive because of the introduction of a competitor’s newer technologies. Innovating products requires the devotion of significant financial and other resources to R&D activities; however, there is no certainty that the products we are currently developing will complete the development process, or that we will obtain the regulatory or other clearances or approvals required to market such products in a timely manner or at all. Even if we timely innovate and develop products, our ability to successfully market them could be constrained by a number of different factors, including competitive products and pricing, barriers in patients’ treatment pathway, the need for regulatory clearance or approval, restrictions imposed on cleared or approved indications, and uncertainty over third-party reimbursement. Failure in any of these areas could have a material effect on our prospects.

We may find it difficult to enroll patients in our clinical trials, and patients could discontinue their participation in clinical trials, which could delay or prevent clinical trials and make those trials more expensive to undertake.

Identifying and qualifying patients to participate in current and future clinical trials of our products is critical to our success. The timing of our clinical trials depends on the speed at which we can recruit patients to participate in testing our products. Patients could be unavailable for various reasons, including competitive clinical trials for similar patient populations, eligibility criteria for the clinical trial, and the proximity of patients to clinical sites. In addition, the process of identifying, confirming eligibility and enrollment of patients may prove costly, and there is a risk that patients enrolled in clinical trials will drop out of the trials before the administration of our products or trial completion. As such, the timeline for recruiting patients, conducting trials and obtaining regulatory clearance or approval of products may be delayed. If we have difficulty enrolling a sufficient number of patients to conduct any clinical trials as planned or maintaining such enrollment, we may need to delay, limit or discontinue those clinical trials. Clinical trial delays could result in increased costs, slower product development, setbacks in testing the safety and effectiveness of our technology or discontinuation of the clinical trials altogether. In addition, some of the factors that cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the delay or denial of regulatory clearance or approval of our products.

Interim, top-line and preliminary data from our clinical trials that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more patient data become available and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.

From time to time, we may publicly disclose preliminary or top-line data from our preclinical studies and clinical trials, which is based on a preliminary analysis of then-available data, and the results and related findings and conclusions are subject to change following a more comprehensive review of the data related to the particular study or trial. We also make assumptions, estimations, calculations and conclusions as part of our analyses of data, and we

41

may not have received or had the opportunity to fully and carefully evaluate all data. As a result, the top-line or preliminary results that we report may differ from future results of the same studies, or different conclusions or considerations may qualify such results, once additional data have been received and fully evaluated. Top-line data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary data we previously published. As a result, top-line data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available.

From time to time, we may also disclose interim data from our preclinical studies and clinical trials. Interim data from clinical trials that we may complete are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues and more patient data become available or as patients from our clinical trials continue other treatments for their disease. Adverse differences between preliminary or interim data and final data could significantly harm our business prospects.

Others, including regulatory authorities, may not accept or agree with our assumptions, estimates, calculations, conclusions or analyses or may interpret or weigh the importance of data differently, which could impact the value of the particular program, the approvability or commercialization of the particular product candidate or product and our company in general. In addition, the information we choose to publicly disclose regarding a particular study or clinical trial is based on what is typically a significant volume of data and other information, and you or others may not agree with what we determine is material or otherwise appropriate information to include in our disclosure. If the interim, top-line, or preliminary data that we report differ from final results, or if others, including regulatory authorities, disagree with the conclusions reached, our ability to obtain clearance or approval for, and commercialize, our products may be harmed, which could harm our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition.

We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing industry, and if we do not compete effectively, our business will be harmed.

The medical technology industry is highly competitive and subject to significant and rapid technological change. Our success is highly dependent on our ability to discover, develop and obtain regulatory clearance or approval for new and innovative products on a cost-effective basis and to market them successfully. In doing so, we face and will continue to face intense competition from a variety of businesses, including large healthcare companies, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private research organizations. These organizations may have significantly greater resources than we do and conduct similar research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangements for research, development, manufacturing and marketing of products that compete with our products. Mergers and acquisitions in the medical technology industry may result in even more resources being concentrated in our competitors. Competition may increase further as a result of advances in the commercial applicability of technologies and greater availability of capital for investment in these industries.

We expect to face increasingly intense competition as new technologies become available. If we fail to stay at the forefront of technological change, we may be unable to compete effectively. Any products that we successfully develop and commercialize will compete with existing products and new products that may become available in the future. The highly competitive nature of and rapid technological changes in the medical technology industry could render our products or our technology obsolete, less competitive or uneconomical. Our competitors may, among other things:

  • have significantly greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, development, technical and human resources than we do;

  • develop and commercialize products that are safer, more effective, less expensive, easier to implement or have fewer or less severe side effects;

  • obtain quicker regulatory clearance or approval;

  • establish superior proprietary positions covering our products and technologies;

  • implement more effective approaches to sales and marketing; or

  • form more advantageous strategic alliances.

42

Should any of these factors occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Competing products could present superior alternatives, including by being more effective, safer, less expensive or marketed and sold more effectively than any products we may develop. Competitive product approaches may make any products we develop obsolete or non-competitive before we recover the expense of developing and commercializing our products.

Smaller and other early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. These third parties compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs.

The success of many of our products may depend upon certain key physicians and heart valve centers.

We work with leading global physicians who form our Global Medical Advisory Board, which provides guidance to us on building clinical validation of DurAVR[®] THV system. These physicians provide considerable knowledge and experience. These physicians may assist us as researchers, marketing consultants, product trainers and consultants and as public speakers. If new laws or other developments limit our ability to appropriately engage these professionals or with the heart valve centers of which they are a part or to continue to receive their advice and input or we are otherwise unsuccessful in maintaining strong working relationships with these physicians or their heart valve centers, then the development, marketing and use of our products could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Operations

Our operating results could be adversely affected if we are unable to accurately forecast demand for any of our products that receive marketing clearance or approval and if we are unable to adequately manage our inventory.

If one or more of our products receives marketing clearance or approval, and we commercialize the product, to ensure adequate inventory supply, we will be required to forecast inventory needs and expenses and place orders sufficiently in advance with our suppliers and contract manufacturers, based on our estimates of future demand for our products. Failure to accurately forecast our needs could result in manufacturing delays or increased costs. Due to the lead times necessary to obtain and install new equipment and ramp up production of product lines, if we fail to adequately forecast the need for additional manufacturing capacity, we may be unable to scale production in a timely manner to meet demand for our products. In addition, the technically complex manufacturing processes required to manufacture our products increase the risk of production failures and can increase the cost of producing our products. As a result, because the production process for our products is complex and sensitive, the cost of production and the chance of production failures and lengthy supply interruptions is increased, which can have a substantial impact on our inventory levels.

Our ability to accurately forecast demand could be affected by many factors, including changes in demand for our products, changes in demand for the products of our competitors and the weakening of economic conditions or confidence in future economic conditions. This risk could be exacerbated by the fact that we may not carry a significant amount of inventory and may not be able to satisfy short-term demand increases, or at times will have an excess in inventory that we are unable to effectively utilize. If we fail to accurately forecast demand, we could experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of products available for sale and any such shortage could have a material impact on our business operations.

The expansion of our manufacturing capabilities may be unsuccessful.

We have been manufacturing the ADAPT[®] tissue for many years. However, to continue the development of our current and future products, we will need to expand our manufacturing capabilities, including potentially outsourcing specific manufacturing processes. Problems with expansion of our manufacturing capabilities, including issues with third-party manufacturers, could delay clinical trials and the commercialization of our products, if approved.

We rely on third parties to conduct our clinical trials and preclinical studies. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, comply with applicable regulatory requirements or meet expected deadlines, our development programs and our ability to seek or obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our products may be delayed.

We are dependent on third parties to conduct our clinical trials and preclinical studies for our DurAVR[®] THV system. Specifically, we rely on, and will continue to rely on, medical institutions, clinical investigators, lab service providers, and consultants to conduct clinical trials and preclinical studies, in each case in accordance with trial

43

protocols and regulatory requirements. These third parties play a significant role in the conduct, monitoring, project and site management, data management, safety and lab services of our trials studies, including subsequent analysis of data. Though we expect to carefully manage our relationships with such third parties, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter challenges or delays in the future, or that these delays or challenges will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and prospects. Furthermore, while we have and will have agreements governing the activities of our third-party contractors, we have limited influence over their actual performance. Nevertheless, we are responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol and legal, regulatory and scientific standards and requirements, and our reliance on third parties does not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities.

While the third parties upon which we rely change from time to time and for each study, historically these partners include:

  • IQVIA, which is a clinical research organization that provides us with clinical data monitoring, project and site management, data management, and safety reporting services for the EFS;

  • CRF, which provides us with core lab services for the EFS and an independent clinical events committee; and

  • QMED, which provides clinical trial support for the EU, including the provision of life science services in the areas of regulatory affairs, training, quality assurance and control, clinical trial consultancy and submission support to the EU authorities.

In addition, we and the third parties we work with are required to comply with Good Laboratory Practice (‘‘GLP’’) and Good Clinical Practice (‘‘GCP’’) requirements, which are regulations and guidelines enforced by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Furthermore, our clinical trials must be conducted with materials manufactured in accordance with cGMP regulations. Regulatory authorities enforce GCPs through periodic inspections of trial sponsors, principal investigators and trial sites. If we or any of the third parties we work with or our trial sites fail to comply with applicable GLP, GCP or other requirements, the data generated in our preclinical studies or clinical trials may be deemed unreliable, and the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may require us to perform additional studies or trials before approving our marketing applications, if ever. Furthermore, our clinical trials must be conducted with materials manufactured in accordance with cGMP regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations may require us to repeat clinical trials, which would delay the regulatory approval process and our goal of receiving pre-market approval for a product.

There is no guarantee that any of the third parties with whom we work will devote adequate time and resources to such trials or studies or perform as contractually required. If any of these third parties fails to meet expected deadlines, adhere to our clinical protocols or meet regulatory requirements or otherwise perform in a substandard manner, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated. In addition, the third parties with whom we contract may also have relationships with other commercial entities, including our competitors, for whom they may also be conducting clinical trials or other activities that could harm our competitive position.

In addition, the third parties with whom we work have the right to terminate their agreements with us in the event of an uncured material breach and under other specified circumstances. If any of our relationships with these third parties terminate, we may not be able to enter into arrangements with alternative third parties on commercially reasonable terms, in a timely manner or at all. Switching or adding additional third parties involves additional cost and requires our management’s time and focus. In addition, there is a natural transition period when a new third-party service provider commences work. As a result, delays can occur, which can materially impact our ability to meet our desired clinical development timelines. Though we work to carefully manage our relationships with the third parties with whom we work, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter challenges or delays in the future or that these delays or challenges will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and prospects.

We rely on third parties for the supply of materials and for the design and manufacture of our products. Any failure by or loss of a vendor could result in delays and increased costs, which may adversely affect our business.

We currently rely on a limited number of suppliers, including several single-source suppliers, to supply raw materials and other components and on contract manufacturers to design and manufacture certain products. The facilities used by our contract manufacturers must be approved for the manufacture of our products by the FDA, or any comparable foreign regulatory authority, pursuant to inspections that may be conducted by or for regulatory authorities. We do not control the manufacturing process of, and are completely dependent on, contract manufacturers

44

for compliance with cGMP requirements for manufacture of those products. If these contract manufacturers cannot successfully manufacture such products in a manner that conforms to our specifications and the strict regulatory requirements of the FDA or any comparable foreign regulatory authority, they will not be able to secure and/or maintain regulatory approval for the use of their manufacturing facilities.

We also purchase certain supplies and services from single sources for reasons of quality assurance, cost-effectiveness, availability, constraints resulting from regulatory requirements and other reasons. We experience from time to time, and may continue to experience, supply interruptions due to a variety of factors, including:

  • general economic conditions that could adversely affect the financial viability of our vendors;

  • vendors’ election to no longer service or supply medical technology companies, including due to the burdens of applicable quality requirements and regulations or for no reason at all;

  • the limitation or ban of certain chemicals or other materials used in the manufacture of our products; and

  • delays or shortages due to trade or regulatory embargoes.

Additionally, any significant increases in the cost of raw materials, whether due to inflationary pressure, supply constraints or regulatory changes could adversely impact our operating results. A change or addition to our vendors could require significant effort due to the rigorous regulations and requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities. It could be difficult to establish additional or replacement sources on a timely basis or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. See the section entitled ‘‘ Business — Single Source Suppliers ’’ for a description of the agreements we are party to with our single-source suppliers.

We have limited control over our suppliers, contract manufacturers, and logistic partners, and such limited control could subject us to significant risks, including the potential inability to produce or obtain quality products and services on a timely basis or in sufficient quantity.

We currently rely on a limited number of suppliers to supply raw materials and other components for certain of our products, contract manufacturers to manufacture certain of our products, and logistics partners to transport certain of our products. We have limited control over our suppliers, contract manufacturers and logistics partners. Such limited control could subject us to the following risks:

  • inability to satisfy demand for our current and future products and services;

  • reduced control over delivery timing and related customer experience and product reliability;

  • reduced ability to monitor the manufacturing process and components used in our products;

  • limited ability to develop comprehensive manufacturing specifications that take into account any materials shortages or substitutions;

  • variance in the manufacturing capability of our third-party manufacturers;

  • price increases;

  • failure of a significant supplier or manufacturer partner to perform its obligations to us for technical, market or other reasons;

  • variance in the quality of services provided by our third-party partners;

  • inability of suppliers to comply with applicable provisions of the FDA’s Device cGMP or other applicable laws enforced by the FDA, state regulatory authorities or non-United States regulatory authorities;

  • inability to ensure the quality of products and components manufactured by third parties;

  • production delays related to the evaluation and testing of products and components from alternative suppliers and corresponding regulatory qualifications;

  • difficulties in establishing additional supplier or manufacturer partner relationships if we experience difficulties with our existing suppliers, manufacturers or logistics partners;

  • shortages of materials or components;

  • production shortages resulting from any events affecting raw material supply;

45

  • misappropriation of our intellectual property;

  • exposure to natural catastrophes, epidemics such as a pandemic, political unrest, terrorism, labor disputes and economic instability resulting in the disruption of trade from foreign countries in which our products or the components are sourced;

  • changes in local economic conditions in the jurisdictions where our suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics partners are located;

  • the imposition of new laws, including those relating to labor conditions, quality and safety standards, imports, duties, tariffs, taxes and trade restrictions; and

  • insufficient warranties and indemnities on components supplied to our manufacturers or performance by our partners.

If our suppliers became unable to provide components in the volumes needed or at an acceptable price, we would have to identify and qualify acceptable replacements from alternative sources of supply. The process of qualifying suppliers is lengthy. Delays or interruptions in the supply of our requirements could limit or stop our ability to provide sufficient quantities of devices on a timely basis or meet demand for our devices, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, our failure or the failure of our manufacturing partners and suppliers to maintain compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements could result in the shutdown of our manufacturing operations or the recall of our products, which would harm our business. In the event that one of our manufacturing partners or suppliers fails to maintain compliance with our or governmental quality requirements, we may have to qualify a new manufacturing partner or supplier, and we could experience manufacturing delays as a result.

The occurrence of any of these risks could cause us to experience a significant disruption in our ability to produce and deliver our products to our customers and could harm our brand and reputation.

Health and safety hazards may adversely affect our business operations.

We have been engaged in manufacturing and R&D activities for a number of years. Our manufacturing and R&D activities are conducted within our premises in Australia and the United States. In light of our business, there are health and safety risks that our employees and contractors could be exposed to. Such health and safety risks include all hazards and risks related to work activities, including both physical and mental health risks. There is a heightened level of risk in a manufacturing environment but health and safety risks also arise in R&D facilities as well as office environments. They may arise due to insufficiently trained or qualified personnel, equipment failure, staff fatigue, unsafe work environments and/or deficient health and safety management systems.

Health and safety incidents in the workplace could directly impact staff, including injury or fatality, mental health and operational performance. It could also result in an increase in litigation and insurance claims, reputational impacts and regulatory intervention. Thus, any health and safety incident occurring to our employees and contractors could materially affect our business operations.

Our R&D efforts will be jeopardized if we are unable to retain key personnel and cultivate key academic and scientific collaborations.

Changes in our senior management can be disruptive to our business and may adversely affect our operations. For example, when we have changes in senior management positions, we may elect to adopt different business strategies or plans. Any new strategies or plans, if adopted, may not be successful and if any new strategies or plans do not produce the desired results, our business may suffer.

Moreover, competition for qualified employees is intense and as such we may not be able to attract and retain personnel critical to our success. Our success depends on our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management, clinical and scientific personnel, manufacturing personnel, sales and marketing personnel and on our ability to develop and maintain important relationships with clinicians, scientists and leading academic and health institutions. Given the specialized nature of our products, there is an inherent scarcity of experienced personnel in these fields. As we continue developing products in our pipeline, we will require personnel with medical, scientific or technical qualifications specific to each program. The loss of key personnel, in particular our senior leadership team, could delay our R&D activities. Despite our efforts to retain valuable employees, members of our team may

46

terminate their employment with us on short notice. The competition for qualified personnel in the medical technology industry is intense, and our future success depends upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled scientific, technical and managerial employees. If we fail to identify, attract, retain and motivate these highly skilled personnel, we may be unable to continue our product development and commercialization activities.

We may in the future seek to identify and acquire certain assets, products and businesses, and there can be no guarantee that we will be able to successfully consummate such transactions.

We may in the future seek to identify and acquire complementary businesses, products, technologies or other assets to augment our pipeline. Such transactions may be complex, time consuming and expensive. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to successfully consummate acquisitions or other arrangements, which could result in significant diversion of management and other employee time, as well as substantial out-of-pocket costs. If such transactions are not completed for any reason, we may incur significant costs and the market price of our Common Stock may decline.

In addition, even if an acquisition is consummated, the integration of the acquired business, product or other assets into our company may be complex and time-consuming, and we may not achieve the anticipated benefits, cost-savings or growth opportunities we expect. Potential difficulties that may be encountered in the integration process include the following: integrating personnel, operations and systems, while maintaining focus on selling and promoting existing and newly-acquired products; coordinating geographically dispersed organizations; preventing the distraction of management and employees from operations; retaining existing customers and attracting new customers; maintaining the business relationships the acquired company has established, including with health care providers; and managing inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of our company and the acquired business, product or other assets.

To the extent we are able to enter into collaborative arrangements or strategic alliances, we will be exposed to risks related to those collaborations and alliances.

The rapid pace of technological development in the medical technology industry and the specialized expertise required in different areas of medicine make it difficult for one company alone to develop a broad portfolio of technological solutions. In addition to internally generated growth through our R&D efforts. We expect to make future investments where we believe that we can stimulate the development or acquisition of new technologies and products to further our strategic objectives and strengthen our existing businesses. Collaborative arrangements and strategic alliances in and with medical technology companies are inherently risky, and we cannot guarantee that any of our previous or future investments or investment collaborations will be successful or will not materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Any collaboration arrangement or alliance we have or may have in the future could be terminated for reasons beyond our control or we may not be able to negotiate future alliances on acceptable terms, if at all. These arrangements and alliances could result in us receiving less revenue than if we sold our products directly, place the development, sales and marketing of our products outside of our control, require us to relinquish important rights or otherwise be on unfavorable terms.

Collaborative arrangements or strategic alliances will also subject us to a number of risks, including the risk that:

  • we may not be able to control the amount and timing of resources that our strategic partners/collaborators may devote to the products;

  • strategic partners/collaborators may experience financial difficulties;

  • the failure to successfully collaborate with third parties may delay, prevent or otherwise impair the development or commercialization of our products or revenue expectations;

  • business combinations or significant changes in a collaborator’s business strategy may adversely affect a collaborator’s willingness or ability to complete their obligations under any arrangement;

  • a collaborator could independently move forward with a competing product developed either independently or in collaboration with others, including our competitors; and

  • collaborative arrangements are often terminated or allowed to expire, which would delay the development of, and may increase the cost of developing, products.

47

We are subject to various risks relating to international activities that could affect our overall profitability.

Our international operations subject us to a number of risks, which may vary significantly from the risks we face in our United States operations, including:

  • fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

  • domestic and global economic conditions such as inflation or recession;

  • healthcare legislation and other regulations;

  • differing standards and privacy requirements for the conduct of clinical trials;

  • differing procedures and standards for regulatory approval and commercialization;

  • tariffs and other trade barriers;

  • compliance with foreign medical device manufacturing regulations;

  • challenges with obtaining required supplies of components for our devices;

  • difficulty in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal systems;

  • reduction in third-party payor reimbursement for our products;

  • inability to obtain import licenses;

  • the impact from health epidemics/pandemics on the global economy;

  • the impact of geopolitical tensions and/or conflicts, including the war in Ukraine;

  • changes in trade policies and in United States and foreign tax policies;

  • possible changes in export or import restrictions;

  • differing labor regulations and difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations;

  • the modification or introduction of other governmental policies with potentially adverse effects; and

  • limitations on our ability under local laws to protect our intellectual property.

We are subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations and changes in foreign currency exchange rates could impact our results of operations.

If the Australian dollar weakens against the United States dollar, then, if we decide to convert our Australian dollars into United States dollars for any business purpose, appreciation of the United States dollar against the Australian dollar would have a negative effect on the United States dollar amount available to us. To the extent that we need to convert United States dollars we receive into Australian dollars for our operations, appreciation of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar would have a negative effect on the Australian dollar amount we would receive from the conversion. Consequently, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Australian dollar relative to the United States dollar would affect our financial results. As a result of such foreign currency fluctuations, it could be more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and results of operations.

Any failure to protect our information technology infrastructure and our products against cyber-based attacks, network security breaches, service interruptions or data corruption could materially disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business and operating results.

The operation of our business depends on our information technology systems. We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage sales and marketing data, accounting and financial functions, inventory management, product development tasks, clinical data, customer service and technical support functions. Our information technology systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, fires, floods and other natural disasters, terrorist attacks, power losses, computer system or data network failures, security breaches and data corruption.

In addition, our information technology infrastructure and products are vulnerable to cyber-based attacks. Cyber-based attacks can include computer viruses, denial-of-service attacks, phishing attacks, ransomware attacks and other introduction of malware to computers and networks; unauthorized access through the use of compromised

48

credentials; exploitation of design flaws, bugs or security vulnerabilities; intentional or unintentional acts by employees or other insiders with access privileges; and intentional acts of vandalism by third parties and sabotage. In addition, laws of applicable jurisdictions can expose us to investigations and enforcement actions by regulatory authorities and claims from individuals potentially resulting in penalties and significant legal liability if our information technology security efforts are inadequate.

Significant disruption in either our or our service providers’ or suppliers’ information technology could impede our operations or result in decreased sales, result in liability claims or regulatory penalties, or lead to increased overhead costs, product shortages, loss or misuse of proprietary or confidential information, intellectual property, or sensitive or personal information, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business, data, services and products are or may become subject to United States federal and state and international data privacy laws and regulations and any failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our reputation, expose us to damages and otherwise adversely affect our business.

As a global company, we are or may become subject to laws and regulations in the United States and other countries concerning the handling of personal data, including but not limited to those related to the collection, storage, handling, use, disclosure, transfer, and security of personal data. These laws and regulations include, for example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act, and other similar United States state privacy laws. These laws and regulations are continuously evolving and developing, creating significant uncertainty as privacy and data protection laws may be interpreted and applied differently from country to country and may create inconsistent or conflicting requirements. Our compliance with privacy and data protection laws may result in significant costs and challenges that are likely to increase over time. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us or third-party service providers to comply with our privacy or security policies or privacy-related legal obligations may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation, or negative publicity, and could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition

Increased emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (‘‘ESG’’) matters may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

Investors, regulators, legislators, customers, consumers, employees, and other key stakeholders are increasingly focusing on areas of corporate responsibility, and particularly matters related to ESG factors. Such matters could include, among other things, environmental stewardship, diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, supply chain practices, good corporate governance, workplace conduct, and support for local communities. Institutional investors have expressed expectations with respect to ESG matters that they use to guide their investment strategies and may, in some cases, choose not to invest in us if they believe our ESG policies are lagging or inadequate. Other stakeholders also have expectations regarding ESG factors, such as employees or potential employees who desire to work for a company that reflects their personal values. These areas of focus are continuing to evolve, as are the criteria on which investors assess companies’ performance in these areas. Investors are increasingly looking to companies that demonstrate strong ESG and sustainability practices as an indicator of long-term resilience, especially in light of events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Keeping up with and meeting these expectations may disrupt our business and divert the attention of our management, and we may be unable to make the investments in ESG programs that our competitors with greater financial resources are able to make. Failure to meet the expectations of investors and other stakeholders in these areas may damage our reputation, impact employee retention, impact the willingness of our customers to do business with us, or otherwise impact our financial results and stock price.

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters

We could become exposed to product liability claims that could harm our business.

The clinical trials and sales of medical products entails an inherent risk of product liability. We rely on a number of third-party researchers and contractors to produce, collect, and analyze data regarding the safety and efficacy of our products. We also have quality control and quality assurance in place to mitigate these risks and have historically obtained professional liability and clinical trial insurance on our clinical trials to cover financial damages in the event that human testing is done incorrectly, or the data is analyzed incorrectly.

Notwithstanding our control procedures, we could face product liability exposure related to the testing of our products in clinical trials. If any of our products are approved for sale, we could face exposure to claims by an even greater number of persons than were involved in the clinical trials once marketing, distribution and sales of our products begin.

49

Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims could result in:

  • decreased demand for our products;

  • injury to our reputation;

  • withdrawal of clinical trial participants;

  • costs of related litigation;

  • substantial monetary awards to patients and others;

  • loss of revenues; and

  • the inability to commercialize products.

If a claim is made against us in conjunction with these research testing activities, the market price of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

Use of our products in unapproved circumstances could expose us to liabilities.

The marketing approvals, if any, from the FDA and other regulators of certain of our products are expected to be limited to specific indications. Such approvals would prohibit us from marketing or promoting any unapproved use of our products. Physicians, however, can use these products in ways or circumstances other than those strictly within the scope of the regulatory approval. Although we intend that the product training we will provide to physicians and other healthcare professionals will be conducted in compliance with applicable laws, and therefore, will be mainly limited to approved uses or for clinical trials, no assurance can be given that claims might not be asserted against us if our products are used in ways or for procedures that are not approved.

Disputes could substantially disrupt our business operations.

Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings commenced against us by stockholders, regulatory authorities, employees, competitors or other third parties could cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments and, if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock. Such litigation or proceedings could substantially increase our operating losses and reduce the resources available for development activities or any future sales, marketing or distribution activities. We may not have sufficient financial or other resources to adequately conduct such litigation or proceedings. In addition, the uncertainties associated with litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to develop our products, continue our internal research programs or enter into strategic collaborations that could help us bring our products to market. As a result, uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace.

Our products and operations are subject to extensive government regulation and any failure to comply with applicable requirements could harm our business.

Our medical devices are subject to rigorous regulation and scrutiny by the FDA and other governmental authorities. Government regulation applies to nearly all aspects of our products’ lifecycles, including testing, clinical study, manufacturing, transporting, sourcing, safety, labeling, storing, packaging, recordkeeping, reporting, advertising, promoting, distributing, marketing, and importing or exporting of medical devices and products. In general, unless an exemption applies, a medical device or product must receive regulatory clearance or approval or clearance before it can be marketed or sold. Modifications to existing products or the marketing of new uses for existing products also may require regulatory clearance or approvals, or supplemental approvals. If we are unable to obtain these required marketing authorizations, our ability to commercialize new products will be delayed or adversely impacted.

Regulatory agencies may refuse to grant approval or clearance or disagree with our interpretation of the data, or disagree with our interpretation of the regulatory requirements, such as products that are subject to enforcement discretion or consumer products that do not meet the definition of an FDA-regulated medical device. Furthermore, the FDA and other regulatory agencies could change their policies, adopt additional regulations, or revise existing regulations, or change regulatory and policy priorities, each of which could impact how our products are regulated,

50

prevent or delay approval or clearance of devices, could impact our ability to market a previously cleared, approved, or unregulated device. Our failure to comply with regulatory requirements of the FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements in the United States or elsewhere could subject us to administratively or judicially imposed sanctions. These sanctions could include warning letters, fines, civil penalties, criminal penalties, injunctions, debarment, product seizure or detention, product recalls and total or partial suspension of production, sale and/or promotion. Any of the foregoing actions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition to any such sanctions for noncompliance described above, commencement of an enforcement proceeding, inspection or investigation could divert substantial management attention from the operation of our business and, as a result, have an adverse effect on our business.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health, and safety regulations that could result in substantial costs.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health, and safety laws, and regulations concerning, among other things, the generation, handling, transportation, and disposal of hazardous substances or wastes, the cleanup of hazardous substance releases, and emissions or discharges into the air or water. We may incur in the future expenditures in connection with environmental, health and safety laws, and regulations. New laws and regulations, violations of these laws or regulations, stricter enforcement of existing requirements, or the discovery of previously unknown contamination could require us to incur costs or could become the basis for new or increased liabilities that could be material.

We could be exposed to significant liability claims if we are unable to obtain insurance at acceptable costs and adequate levels or otherwise protect ourselves against potential product liability claims.

The design, manufacture and marketing of medical device products involve certain inherent risks. Manufacturing or design defects, unanticipated use of our products, or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of our products could lead to negative publicity, government investigation, litigation or other adverse events. These events could lead to recalls or safety alerts relating to our products (either voluntary or required by the FDA, or similar governmental authorities in other countries) and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of a product from the market. A recall could result in significant costs, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce demand for our products. In some circumstances, such adverse events could also cause delays in new product clearance and commercialization plans.

The testing, manufacture, marketing and sale of medical devices entail the inherent risk of liability claims or product recalls. Product liability insurance is expensive and, if available, may not be available on acceptable terms at all periods of time. A successful product liability claim or product recall could inhibit or prevent the successful commercialization of our products, cause a significant financial burden on us, or both, which in either case could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Healthcare policy changes may have a material adverse effect on us.

There have been and continue to be actions and proposals by several governments, regulators and third-party payers globally, including the United States federal and state governments, to control healthcare costs and, more generally, to reform healthcare systems. The healthcare industry in the United States is subject to fundamental changes due to ongoing federal and state healthcare reform efforts and related political, economic, and regulatory influences, including those from the recent change in presidential administration. Certain of these actions and proposals, among other things, limit the prices we are able to charge for our products or the amounts of reimbursement available for our products, increase the importance of our ability to compete on cost, and could limit the acceptance and availability of our products. These actions and proposals could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We are subject to various United States and international bribery, anti-kickback, false claims, privacy, transparency, and similar laws, any breach of which could cause a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and profitability.

Our relationships with physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers are subject to scrutiny under various United States and international bribery, anti-kickback, false claims, privacy, transparency, and similar laws, often referred to collectively as ‘‘healthcare compliance laws.’’ Healthcare compliance laws are broad, sometimes ambiguous, complex, and subject to change and changing interpretations. Possible sanctions for violation of these healthcare compliance laws include fines, civil and criminal penalties, exclusion from government healthcare

51

programs, and despite our compliance efforts, we face the risk of an enforcement activity or a finding of a violation of these laws. While our relationships with healthcare professionals and organizations are structured to comply with such laws and we conduct training sessions on these laws and codes, it is possible that enforcement authorities may view our relationships as prohibited arrangements that must be restructured or for which we would be subject to other significant civil or criminal penalties or debarment. In any event, any enforcement review of or action against us as a result of such review, regardless of outcome, could be costly and time consuming. Additionally, we cannot predict the impact of any changes in or interpretations of these laws, whether these changes will be retroactive or will have effect on a going-forward basis only.

Tax laws, regulations, and enforcement practices are evolving and may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Tax laws, regulations, and administrative practices in various jurisdictions are evolving and may be subject to significant changes due to economic, political, and other conditions. There are many transactions that occur during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain, and significant judgment is required in evaluating and estimating our provision and accruals for taxes. Additionally, the Australian Taxation Office’s interpretation of specific expenditures’ eligibility may vary, potentially leading to variances to our estimations. Governments are increasingly focused on ways to increase tax revenues, particularly from multinational corporations, which may lead to an increase in audit activity and aggressive positions taken by tax authorities.

Developments in relevant tax laws, regulations, administrative practices and enforcement practices could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows, including the need to obtain additional financing.

We are subject to tax audits by various tax authorities in many jurisdictions.

Our income tax returns are based on calculations and assumptions that require significant judgment and are subject to audit by various tax authorities. In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of examinations by tax authorities in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

Our success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property and our proprietary technology.

Our success is to a certain degree also dependent on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection. We could be materially adversely affected by any failure or inability to protect our intellectual property rights.

Similarly, any know-how that is proprietary or particular to our technologies could be subject to risk of disclosure by employees or consultants despite having confidentiality agreements in place.

Any future success will depend in part on whether we can obtain and maintain patents to protect our own products and technologies; obtain licenses to the patented technologies of third parties; and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. Patent matters can involve complex legal and scientific questions and it is impossible to predict the outcome of patent claims. There is a risk that future patent applications that we make may not be approved, or we may not develop additional products or processes that are patentable. Some countries in which we may sell our products or license our intellectual property may fail to protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the protection that may be afforded in the United States or Australia.

In addition, the specific content of patents and patent applications that are necessary to support and interpret patent claims is highly uncertain due to the complex nature of the relevant legal, scientific and factual issues. Changes in either patent laws or in interpretations of patent laws could diminish the value of our intellectual property or narrow the scope of our patent protection. Even if we are able to obtain patents, they may not issue in a form that will provide us with any meaningful protection, prevent competitors from competing with us or otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage. Our competitors may be able to circumvent our patents by developing similar or alternative technologies or products in a non-infringing manner. We may also fail to take the required actions or pay the necessary fees to maintain our patents.

Moreover, any of our pending applications may be subject to a third-party pre-issuance submission of prior art to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (‘‘USPTO’’), the European Patent Office, the Intellectual Property

52

Office in the United Kingdom, and the Australian Patent and Trademark Office. In addition, any patents issued could become involved in opposition, derivation, reexamination, post-grant review, interference proceedings or other patent office proceedings or litigation challenging our patent rights. An adverse determination in any such submission, proceeding or litigation could reduce the scope of, or invalidate, our patent rights, and allow third parties to commercialize our technology or products and compete directly with us, without payment to us. In addition, if the breadth or strength of protection provided by our patents and patent applications is threatened, it could dissuade companies from collaborating with us to exploit our intellectual property or develop or commercialize current or future products.

The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to the inventorship, scope, validity or enforceability and our patents could be challenged in the courts or patent offices. Such challenges could result in loss of ownership or in patent claims being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, in whole or in part, which could limit the duration of the patent protection of our technology and products. As a result, our patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.

In addition, other companies may attempt to circumvent any regulatory data protection or market exclusivity that we obtain under applicable legislation and thus require us to allocate significant resources to preventing such circumvention. Such developments could enable other companies to circumvent our intellectual property rights and use our clinical trial data to obtain marketing authorizations in certain jurisdictions. Such developments could also require us to allocate significant resources to prevent other companies from circumventing or violating our intellectual property rights.

Intellectual property rights of third parties could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products.

Our commercial success may depend upon our future ability and the ability of our potential collaborators to develop, manufacture, market and sell our products without infringing valid intellectual property rights of third parties. There is a substantial amount of litigation involving patents and other intellectual property rights in the medical technology industry, as well as administrative proceedings for challenging patents, including interference, derivation, inter partes review, post-grant review and reexamination proceedings before the USPTO or oppositions and other comparable proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. Furthermore, patent reform and changes to patent laws in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions add uncertainty to the possibility of challenge to our patents in the future, and could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products. We cannot assure you that our products and other proprietary technologies we may develop will not infringe existing or future patents owned by third parties. Litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims, with or without merit, is unpredictable and generally expensive and time consuming and, even if resolved in our favor, is likely to divert significant resources from our core business, including distracting our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities.

If a third-party intellectual property right exists it could require the pursuit of litigation or administrative proceedings to nullify or invalidate the third-party intellectual property right concerned, or entry into a license agreement with the intellectual property right holder, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Third-party intellectual property right holders, including our competitors, may bring infringement claims against us. If a third-party claims that we infringe its intellectual property rights, we may face a number of issues, including, but not limited to:

  • litigation, which may be expensive and time-consuming and may divert our management’s attention from our core business;

  • substantial damages for infringement, which we may have to pay if a court decides that the product or technology at issue infringes on or violates the third party’s rights, and, if the court finds that the infringement was willful, we could be ordered to pay treble damages and the patent owner’s attorneys’ fees;

  • a court prohibiting us from developing, manufacturing, marketing or selling our products, or from using our proprietary technologies, unless the third-party licenses its product rights to us, which it is not required to do;

  • if a license is available from a third party, we may have to pay substantial royalties, upfront fees and other amounts, and/or grant cross-licenses to intellectual property rights for our products; and

  • redesigning our products or processes so they do not infringe third-party intellectual property rights, which may not be possible or may require substantial monetary expenditures and time.

53

Numerous United States and foreign issued patents and pending patent applications owned by third parties exist in the fields in which we are developing our products. We cannot provide any assurances that valid third-party patents do not exist which might be enforced against our current or future products, resulting in either an injunction prohibiting our sales, or, with respect to our sales, an obligation on our part to pay royalties and/or other forms of compensation to third parties. As the medical technology industry expands and more patents are issued, the risk increases that our products may give rise to claims of infringement of the patent rights of others. Third parties may assert that we infringe their patents or other intellectual property, or that we are otherwise employing their proprietary technology without authorization and may sue us. We believe that we have reasonable defenses against possible allegations of infringement, such as noninfringement or invalidity defenses; however, there can be no assurance that these defenses will succeed. It is also possible that patents owned by third parties of which we are aware or might become aware, but which we believe are not valid, or do not believe are relevant to our products and other proprietary technologies we may develop, could be found to be infringed by our products. Because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be currently pending patent applications that may later result in issued patents that our products may infringe. In addition, our competitors or other third parties, many of which have substantially greater resources than we do and have made substantial investments in patent portfolios and competing technologies, may obtain patents in the future that may prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with our ability to make, use and sell our products, and may claim that use of our technologies or the manufacture, use or sale of our products infringes upon these patents. If any such third-party patents were held by a court of competent jurisdiction to cover our technologies or products, or if we are found to otherwise infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, the holders of any such patents may be able to block, including by court order, our ability to develop, manufacture or commercialize the applicable product unless we obtain a license under the applicable patents or other intellectual property, or until such patents expire or are finally determined to be held invalid or unenforceable. Such a license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if we were able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors access to the same technologies licensed to us. If we are unable to obtain a necessary license to a third-party patent on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to commercialize our products may be impaired or delayed, which could in turn significantly harm our business.

The medical technology industry has produced a considerable number of patents, and it may not always be clear to industry participants, including us, which patents cover various types of products or methods of use. The coverage of patents is subject to interpretation by the courts, and the interpretation is not always uniform. If we were sued for patent infringement, we would need to demonstrate that our products or methods either do not infringe the patent claims of the relevant patent or that the patent claims are invalid or unenforceable, and we may not be able to do this. Proving invalidity may be difficult. For example, in the United States, proving invalidity in court requires a showing of clear and convincing evidence to overcome the presumption of validity enjoyed by issued patents, and there is no assurance that a court of competent jurisdiction would invalidate the claims of any such United States patent. Even if we are successful in these proceedings, we may incur substantial costs and the time and attention of our management and scientific personnel could be diverted in pursuing these proceedings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. In addition, we may not have sufficient resources to bring these actions to a successful conclusion.

Third parties asserting their patent or other intellectual property rights against us may seek and obtain injunctive or other equitable relief, which could effectively block our ability to further develop and commercialize our products or force us to cease some of our business operations. Defense of these claims, regardless of their merit, would involve substantial litigation expense and would be a substantial diversion of management and other employee resources from our business, cause development delays and may impact our reputation. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us, we may have to pay substantial damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees for willful infringement, obtain one or more licenses from third parties, pay royalties or redesign our infringing products, which may be impossible on a cost-effective basis or require substantial time and monetary expenditure. In that event, we would be unable to further develop and commercialize our products, which could harm our business significantly. Claims that we have misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties could have a similar negative impact on our business.

Our reliance on third parties requires us to share our trade secrets, which increases the possibility that a competitor will discover them or that our trade secrets will be misappropriated or disclosed.

Because we collaborate with various organizations and academic institutions on the advancement of our technology and products, we may, at times, share trade secrets with them. We seek to protect our proprietary technology in part by entering into confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, material transfer agreements,

54

collaborative research agreements, consulting agreements or other similar agreements with our collaborators, advisors, employees and consultants prior to beginning research or disclosing proprietary information. These agreements typically limit the rights of the third parties to use or disclose our confidential information, such as trade secrets. Despite these contractual provisions, the need to share trade secrets and other confidential information increases the risk that such trade secrets will become known by potential competitors, are inadvertently incorporated into the technology of others, or are disclosed or used in violation of these agreements. Given that our proprietary position is based, in part, on our know-how and trade secrets, discovery by a third party of our trade secrets or other unauthorized use or disclosure would impair our intellectual property rights and protections in our products.

In addition, these agreements typically restrict the ability of our collaborators, advisors, employees and consultants to publish data potentially relating to our trade secrets. Our academic collaborators typically have rights to publish data, provided that we are notified in advance and may delay publication for a specified time in order to secure our intellectual property rights arising from the collaboration. In some cases, publication rights are controlled exclusively by us. In other cases, we may share these rights with other parties. Despite our efforts to protect our trade secrets, our competitors could discover our trade secrets, either through breach of these agreements, independent development or publication of information including our trade secrets in cases where we do not have proprietary or otherwise protected rights at the time of publication.

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

Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees and various other governmental fees on patents and applications are required to be paid to the USPTO and other governmental patent agencies outside of the United States in several stages over the lifetime of the patents and applications. The USPTO and various corresponding governmental patent agencies outside of the United States require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process and after a patent has issued. There are situations in which non-compliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction.

Confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees, advisors and consultants may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and protect other proprietary information.

We consider proprietary trade secrets and/or confidential know-how and unpatented know-how to be important to our business. We may rely on trade secrets and/or confidential know-how to protect our technology, especially where patent protection is believed by us to be of limited value. However, trade secrets and/or confidential know-how can be difficult to maintain as confidential.

To protect this type of information against disclosure or appropriation by competitors, our policy is to require our employees, advisors and consultants to enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with us. However, current or former employees, advisors and consultants could unintentionally or willfully disclose our confidential information to competitors, and confidentiality and invention assignment agreements may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Enforcing a claim that a third party obtained illegally and is using trade secrets and/or confidential know-how is expensive, time consuming and unpredictable. The enforceability of confidentiality and invention assignment agreements may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Failure to obtain or maintain trade secrets and/or confidential know-how trade protection could adversely affect our competitive position. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and may even apply for patent protection in respect of the same. If successful in obtaining such patent protection, our competitors could limit our use of our trade secrets and/or confidential know-how.

55

Intellectual property rights do not address all potential threats to our business prospects.

The degree of future protection afforded by our intellectual property rights is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations, and may not adequately protect our business, or permit us to maintain our competitive advantage. The following examples are illustrative:

  • Others may be able to make products that are similar to ours but that are not covered by our intellectual property rights.

  • Others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or otherwise circumvent any of our technologies without infringing our intellectual property rights.

  • We or any of our collaboration partners might not have been the first to conceive and reduce to practice the inventions covered by the patents or patent applications that we own, license or will own or license.

  • We or any of our collaboration partners might not have been the first to file patent applications covering certain of the patents or patent applications that we or they own or have obtained a license.

  • It is possible that any pending patent applications that we have filed, or will file, will not lead to issued patents.

  • Issued patents that we own may not provide us with any competitive advantage, or may be held invalid or unenforceable, as a result of legal challenges by our competitors.

  • Our competitors might conduct R&D activities in countries where we do not have patent rights, or in countries where R&D safe harbor laws exist, and then use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive products for sale in our major commercial markets.

  • Ownership of our patents or patent applications may be challenged by third parties

  • Our patents may only be valid for a limited period of time.

  • The patents of third parties or pending or future applications of third parties, if issued, may have an adverse effect on our business.

Any difficulty with protecting our intellectual property could diminish the value of our intellectual property rights in the relevant jurisdiction.

The laws of some jurisdictions do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and Australia. If we or our collaboration partners encounter difficulties in protecting, or are otherwise precluded from effectively protecting, the intellectual property rights important for our business in other jurisdictions, then the value of these rights could be diminished and we could face additional competition from others in such other jurisdictions.

Some countries in Europe and China have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of such patent. If we are, or any of our licensors is, forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any patents relevant to our business, our competitive position or commercial advantage may be impaired and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Changes in patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products and any future products.

The United States Supreme Court in recent years has issued rulings either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations or ruling that certain subject matter is not eligible for patent protection. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions by Congress, the federal courts, the USPTO and equivalent bodies in non-United States jurisdictions, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce existing patents and patents we may obtain in the future.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

The market price and trading volume of our Common Stock may be volatile and may be affected by economic conditions beyond our control.

The market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume of our Common Stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our Common Stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your Common Stock at a competitive price. We cannot assure you that the market price of our Common Stock will not fluctuate or significantly decline in the future.

Some specific factors that could negatively affect the price of our Common Stock or result in fluctuations in their price and trading volume include:

  • actual or expected fluctuations in our prospects or operating results;

  • announcements relating to our products, including the results of clinical trials by us or our collaborators;

  • changes in the demand for our products;

  • additions or departures of our key personnel;

  • changes or proposed changes in laws, regulations or tax policy;

  • sales or perceived potential sales of our Common Stock by us or our executive officers, directors or stockholders in the future;

  • announcements or expectations concerning additional financing efforts; and

  • conditions in the United States, Australian and global financial markets, or in our industry in particular, or changes in general economic or political conditions.

In recent years, the stock market in general, and the market for medical technology companies in particular, has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to changes in the operating performance of the companies whose stock is experiencing those price and volume fluctuations. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

When the market price of a stock has been volatile, as our Common Stock price may be, holders of that stock have occasionally brought securities class action litigation claims against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders were to bring a lawsuit of this type against us, even if the lawsuit were without merit, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. The lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management.

Shares of our Common Stock are listed to trade on Nasdaq in United States dollars and our CDIs are listed to trade on the ASX in Australian dollars, which may result in price variations.

Shares of our Common Stock are listed to trade on Nasdaq in United States dollars and our CDIs are listed to trade on the ASX in Australian dollars. Dual-listing may result in price variations between the exchanges due to a number of factors. In addition, the exchanges are open for trade at different times of the day and the two exchanges also have differing vacation schedules. Differences in the trading schedules, as well as volatility in the exchange rate of the two currencies, among other factors, may result different trading prices for our Common Stock and CDIs on the two exchanges. Other external influences may have different effects on the trading price of our Common Stock and CDIs on the two exchanges.

An active, liquid trading market for our Common Stock may not be maintained.

We can provide no assurance that we will be able to maintain an active trading market for our Common Stock. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling our Common Stock and our ability to acquire other companies, products or technologies by using our Common Stock as consideration.

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

ATL (which became a subsidiary of the Company following completion of the Reorganization) did not declare any dividends during fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023 or 2024 and we do not anticipate that we will do so in the

57

foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the development of our business. Dividends, if any, on our outstanding Common Stock will be declared by and subject to the discretion of our Board on the basis of our earnings, financial requirements and other relevant factors, and subject to Delaware and federal law. We cannot assure you that our Common Stock will appreciate in value. You may not realize a return on your investment in our Common Stock and you may even lose your entire investment in our Common Stock.

If United States securities or industry analysts do not publish research reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse opinion about our business, the market price and trading volume of our Common Stock could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that United States securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts may discontinue research on us, to the extent such coverage currently exists, or in other cases, may never publish research on us. If no or too few United States securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our Common Stock would likely be negatively affected. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our Common Stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price of our Common Stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Common Stock could decrease, which might cause our price and trading volume to decline. In addition, research and reports that Australian securities or industry analysts may, initiate or may continue to, publish about us, our business or our Common Stock may impact the market price of our Common Stock.

We are an ‘‘emerging growth company’’ and a ‘‘smaller reporting company’’ and our election of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies may make our Common Stock less attractive to investors and, as a result, adversely affect the price of our Common Stock and result in a less active trading market for our Common Stock.

We are an ‘‘emerging growth company’’ as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (‘‘JOBS Act’’) and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. For example, we have elected to rely on an exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (‘‘SarbanesOxley Act’’) relating to internal control over financial reporting, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this Form 10-K and our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation. In addition, as a smaller reporting company, we are only required to provide two years of audited financial statements.

We may avail ourselves of these disclosure exemptions until we are no longer an ‘‘emerging growth company.’’ We cannot predict whether investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because of our reliance on some or all of these exemptions. If investors find our Common Stock less attractive, it may adversely affect the price of our Common Stock and there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock.

We will cease to be an ‘‘emerging growth company’’ upon the earliest of:

  • the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1,235,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the SEC) or more;

  • the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering;

  • the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or

  • the date on which we are deemed to be a ‘‘large accelerated filer,’’ as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

Furthermore, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application

58

dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard, until such time we are no longer considered to be an emerging growth company. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We are also a ‘‘smaller reporting company’’ as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies for so long as we are a smaller reporting company.

We incur increased costs as a result of operating as a United States listed public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices, which could divert their attention from the operation of our business.

As a United States listed public company, and particularly after we are no longer an ‘‘emerging growth company,’’ we incur, and will continue to incur, significant additional legal, accounting, and other expenses. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies, including the filing of reports with respect to our business and operating results, establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure controls and procedures, maintenance and reporting of our system of internal control over financial reporting, and other corporate governance practices. We expect that we will need to hire additional accounting, finance, legal, and other personnel in connection with our efforts to comply with the requirements of being a United States public company, and our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time towards maintaining compliance with these requirements. These requirements increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to remediate these material weaknesses, or if we experience additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our Common Stock.

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our management and our independent auditors identified material weaknesses in the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses identified by our management and our independent auditors relate to (i) a lack of appropriately designed, implemented and documented procedures and controls, and (ii) deficiencies in the segregation of duties.

To remediate these material weaknesses, we are in the process of implementing measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including supplementing automated controls with additional manual controls and documentation thereof. We have an active project to complete documentation of our entity-level and key financial reporting processes and controls. This includes the preparation and review of account reconciliations, journal entries and information technology systems. In addition, we are undertaking a review of segregation of duties across financial reporting streams.

The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until management completes the design and implementation of the measures described above and the controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. These remediation measures will be time consuming and require financial and operational resources. If one or both of these material weaknesses are not remediated, they could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that might not be prevented or detected.

As a public company, we will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting and will require that we incur substantial

59

additional professional fees and internal costs to expand our accounting and finance functions and that we expend significant management efforts. We may discover additional weaknesses in our system of internal control over financial reporting that could result in a material misstatement of our financial statements. Our internal control over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. We may not be able to implement improvements to our management information and control systems in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.

Additionally, when we cease to be an ‘‘emerging growth company’’ under the federal securities laws, our independent registered public accounting firm may be required to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to confirm that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline. We could also become subject to investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors and stockholders, which could harm our reputation and financial condition or divert financial and management resources from our regular business activities

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our company. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to elect directors who are not nominated by the current members of our Board or take other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. These provisions include:

  • the ability of our Board to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

  • a staggered Board divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, such that not all members of our Board will be elected at one time;

  • allowing only our Board to fill director vacancies, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our Board;

  • a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

  • a requirement for the affirmative vote of holders of at least 75% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single class, to amend certain provisions of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or our Amended and Restated Bylaws, which may inhibit the ability of an acquirer to effect such amendments to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;

  • the ability of our Board to amend our Amended and Restated Bylaws, which may allow our Board to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the Amended and Restated Bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;

  • advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company; and

  • a prohibition of cumulative voting in the election of our Board, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates.

60

Future equity financings and sales by existing holders could adversely affect the voting power or value of our Common Stock.

We may from time to time raise funds through the issuance of Common Stock or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Stock. We cannot predict the size or price of future issuances of Common Stock or the size or terms of future issuances of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Stock, or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our securities will have on the market price of the Common Stock. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of shares of Common Stock, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Stock. With any additional sale or issuance of Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and we may experience dilution in our earnings per share.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including preferences over our Common Stock respecting dividends and distributions, as our Board may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could adversely impact the voting power or value of our Common Stock. For example, we might grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of our directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we might grant to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of our Common Stock.

Our failure to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in a delisting of our Common Stock.

If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our Common Stock. 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. In the event of a delisting, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us to restore compliance with listing requirements would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with the listing requirements of Nasdaq.

If Nasdaq delists our Common Stock from trading on its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

  • a limited availability of market quotations for our Common Stock;

  • a determination that our Common Stock is a ‘‘penny stock’’ which will require brokers trading in our Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules, which could result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Common Stock;

  • more limited news and analyst coverage for our company; and

  • a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

We are a holding company and, as such, we will depend on our subsidiaries to support our operations.

We are a holding company and essentially all of our assets are the capital stock of our subsidiaries. As a result, investors in our company are subject to the risks attributable to our subsidiaries. As a holding company, we conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to fund and conduct our business, service our debt and pay dividends, if any, in the future will principally depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to continue their R&D activities and, post-commercialization, generate sufficient cash flow to make upstream cash distributions to us. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities, and although they are wholly-owned and controlled by us, they have no obligation to make any funds available to us, whether in the form of loans, dividends or otherwise. The ability of these entities to pay dividends and other distributions will depend on their operating results and will be subject to applicable laws and regulations which require that solvency and capital standards be maintained by such companies and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing any debt obligations. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our material subsidiaries, holders of indebtedness and trade creditors may be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before our company.

61

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each such case subject to such Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolutions of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. We note that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the choice of forum provision with respect to claims under the Securities Act, and that investors cannot waive compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and consented to, the provisions of our Amended and Restated Bylaws described in the preceding sentence. This forum selection provision is not intended to apply to any actions brought under the Exchange Act. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

These choice-of-forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and such persons. These choice-of-forum provisions may also impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims against us and/or our directors, officers, employees, or agents, to the extent the provisions require the stockholders to litigate in a particular or different forum. In addition, while the Delaware Supreme Court ruled in March 2020 that federal forum selection provisions purporting to require claims under the Securities Act be brought in federal court are ‘‘facially valid’’ under Delaware law, there is uncertainty as to whether other courts will enforce our choice- of-forum provisions. Our choice-of-forum provisions may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders who assert that the provisions are not enforceable or invalid.

Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our Amended and Restated Bylaws inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

Our ability to use our United States net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

As of December 31, 2024 we had United States federal net operating loss (‘‘NOL’’) carryforwards of $94.2 million, which may be available to offset federal income tax liabilities in the future. In addition, we may generate additional NOLs in future years. In general, a corporation’s ability to utilize its NOLs may be limited if it experiences an ‘‘ownership change’’ as defined in Section 382 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’). An ownership change generally occurs if certain direct or indirect ‘‘5- percent shareholders,’’ as defined in Section 382 of the Code, increase their aggregate percentage ownership of a corporation’s stock by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest percentage ownership at any time during the testing period, which is generally the three-year period preceding any potential ownership change. If a corporation experiences an ownership change, the corporation will be subject to an annual limitation that applies to the amount of pre-ownership change NOLs that may be used to offset post-ownership change taxable income. This limitation is generally determined by multiplying the value of the corporation’s stock immediately before the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate. Any unused annual limitation may, subject to certain limits, be carried over to later years, and the limitation may under certain circumstances be increased by built-in gains in the assets held by such corporation at the time of the ownership change. Similar rules and limitations may apply for state income tax purposes.

62

Our initial public offering in the United States in December 2024 caused an ‘‘ownership change.’’ Under this ‘‘ownership change,’’ Section 382 of the Code will impose an annual limit on the amount of pre-ownership change NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes we could use to reduce our taxable income, potentially increasing and accelerating our liability for income taxes. This ‘‘ownership change’’ is not expected to cause any tax attributes to expire unused. It is possible that any future ownership changes could materially reduce our ability to use our United States NOL carryforwards or other tax attributes to offset taxable income, which could adversely affect our profitability.

Our ability to use our Australian net operating and capital loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income are subject to the satisfaction of loss tests.

As of December 31, 2024, we had Australian net operating and capital loss (‘‘NOCL’’) carryforwards of $58.4 million, which may be available to offset Australian income tax liabilities in the future. In addition, we may generate additional NOCLs in future years.

In general, a corporation’s ability to utilize its NOCLs is impacted if it does not satisfy one of two loss tests - the continuity of ownership test (where there is a change in majority ownership and control) or failing that, the business continuity test. These tests are set forth in Divisions 165 and 166 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The loss tests are applied to each parcel of NOCLs that arise in a particular income year.

The continuity of ownership test is failed where a majority interest in shareholders’ rights to dividends, rights to capital distributions and voting rights are not maintained (i.e., there is a change in majority ownership and control). A concession applies whereby all shareholders with less than 10% of these rights are deemed to be held by a single notional shareholder. If the total of the single notional shareholder interests falls below 50%, the continuity of ownership test may be failed and the NOCLs (either all or particular parcels) may only be utilized if the business continuity test is satisfied.

The business continuity test considers whether ATL has maintained a similar or same business at the relevant testing times.

Our initial public offering in the United States in December 2024 did not cause a failure of the continuity of ownership test. If future issuances and sales of our Common Stock (including certain transactions involving our Common Stock that are outside of our control) did cause a failure of the continuity of ownership test, and the business continuity test could not be satisfied, the NOCLs may not be utilized to reduce taxable income. This could potentially increase and accelerate our liability for income taxes.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market by our existing stockholders could cause the price of our Common Stock to fall.

The market price of shares of our Common Stock could decline as a result of sales of our Common Stock or CDIs representing those shares or the perception that these sales could occur. In addition, the future registration of shares of our Common Stock may cause our stock price to decline, even before such shares are actually sold in the market. We have registered shares of Common Stock that we may issue under our employee equity incentive plans. These shares can be sold freely in the public market upon issuance. We are unable to predict the effect that sales, or the perception that our shares may be available for sale, will have on the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

The operation of our business depends on our information technology systems. We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage sales and marketing data, accounting and financial functions, inventory management, product development tasks, clinical data, customer service and technical support functions. Our information technology infrastructure and products are vulnerable to cyber-based attacks. Cyber-based attacks can include computer viruses, denial-of-service attacks, phishing attacks, ransomware attacks and other introduction of

63

malware to computers and networks; unauthorized access through the use of compromised credentials; exploitation of design flaws, bugs or security vulnerabilities; intentional or unintentional acts by employees or other insiders with access privileges; and intentional acts of vandalism by third parties and sabotage.

We have developed and implemented a risk-based program focused on cybersecurity measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information.

Our cybersecurity risk management is integrated into our overall risk management framework, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas.

The Audit and Risk Committee periodically reviews and discusses with management the Company’s policies and internal controls with respect to cybersecurity. Our Senior Group Technology Manager (‘‘SGTM’’) (who has over 20 years of experience in information technology roles and holds various industry certifications) reports to the Chief Financial Officer and together report to the Audit and Risk Committee periodically on cyber security matters. The Audit and Risk Committee reports through to the Board.

In addition to the annual security assessment and penetration test, the SGTM utilizes an Endpoint Detection and Response system which acts as Anti-virus and intrusion prevention system and reports all abnormalities to the SGTM. Essential Eight and Center for Internet Security Control Strategies including patch applications, multi-factor authentication, administrative privileges, application hardening and backups are performed internally via a security consultant with regular updates provided to the SGTM. Reported findings and action items are recorded and assigned to personnel for action.

Any failure to protect our information technology infrastructure and our products against cyber-based attacks, network security breaches, service interruptions or data corruption could materially disrupt our operations and harm our business.

Our cybersecurity risk management program includes:

  • periodic risk assessments;

  • annual security assessment and penetration testing;

  • A third-party Security Operations Center (‘‘SOC’’) partner to monitor, manage and respond to cybersecurity incidents;

  • the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;

  • a cyber risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors that have access to our critical systems and information managed through the selection of typically larger well-known providers, which is supplemented by review of contractual arrangements, insurance and information requests;

  • cybersecurity awareness training and phishing campaigns for specific employee groups;

  • disaster recovery plans/procedures;

  • access control and CCTV systems (where appropriate) for the physical protection of Anteris systems; and

  • incident response and recovery procedures, for cybersecurity incidents.

We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For more information, see the section titled ‘‘Risk Factors - Risks related to our business - Our information technology systems, or those used by our third-party contract research organizations or other contractors or consultants, may fail or suffer security breaches.’’

Overview

Anteris is a structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Our lead product, the DurAVR[®] THV system, represents a unique product opportunity in a new THV class of single-piece heart valves, for the treatment of aortic stenosis. Our DurAVR[®] THV system consists of a single-piece, biomimetic valve made with our proprietary ADAPT[®] tissue-enhancing technology and deployed with our ComASUR[®] balloon-expandable delivery system. ADAPT[®] is our proprietary anti-calcification tissue shaping technology that is designed to reengineer xenograft tissue into a pure, single-piece collagen bioscaffold. Our proprietary ADAPT[®] tissue has been clinically demonstrated to be calcium free for up to 10 years post-procedure, according to Performance of the ADAPT-Treated CardioCel[®] Scaffold in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Cardiac Anomalies: Medium to Long-Term Outcomes , published by William Neethling et. al., and has been distributed for use in over 55,000 patients globally in other indications. Our ComASUR[®] balloon-expandable delivery system, which was developed in consultation with physicians, is designed to provide precise alignment with the heart’s native commissures to achieve accurate placement of the DurAVR[®] THV system.

We clinically developed our DurAVR[®] THV system over several years with significant physician input with the goal of addressing hemodynamic limitations of the current standard-of-care products. As of January 2025, a total of 83 patients have been treated with the DurAVR[®] THV system across the United States, Canada and Europe. In November 2021, we commenced our FIH study at the Tbilisi Heart and Vascular Clinic in Tbilisi, Georgia.

We are a development stage company and have incurred net losses in each year since inception, however, we believe that we have significant growth potential in a large, underpenetrated and growing market. Since the inception of the TAVR procedure, the annual volume of TAVR procedures in the United States has increased significantly year-over-year, with an estimated 73,000 patients having undergone a TAVR procedure in the United States in 2019 according to the TVT Registry. According to FMI, the total global market opportunity for TAVR in relation to severe aortic stenosis and in relation to ViV procedures is expected will reach $9.9 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, in 2028. The key specific markets that our Company is initially targeting are North America and Europe due to these markets accounting for the majority of the above global opportunity. FMI indicated that the North American and European markets averaged 53% and 38% of the global market share, respectively, during the period 2016 to 2023. FMI forecasts that the market opportunity in relation to severe aortic stenosis for North America and Europe to reach $5.5 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively, in 2028; and the market opportunity in relation to ViV procedures is forecast to reach $1.5 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively, in 2028. To calculate these future market values, FMI has relied on actual data from 2023 collated from a variety of published sources and key medical experts and applied a projected CAGR of 14.9% for the global market, 16.2% for the North American market, and 14.0% for the European market. A non-exhaustive list of factors that may impact these forecast calculations include key players’ historic growth; companies and manufacturers working together to develop new, affordable and timesaving technologies; new product launches and approvals; rising demand for THV replacement; availability and cost of products; growing investment in healthcare expenditure; and increased regulatory focus on patient safety and

67

reimbursement policies. In addition, we expect the TAVR market to benefit from general trends, including an aging population, earlier diagnosis of aortic stenosis, increased incidence of obesity and diabetes (which contribute to heart disease), as well as the broader patient populations’ desire to pursue a more active lifestyle.

Our innovation-focused R&D practice is driven by rapid technological advancement and significant input from leading interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. As a company that is primarily in the development phase, we currently generate small amounts of revenue and income which are insufficient to cover our investment in research, development and operational activities resulting in recurring net operating losses, incurred since inception. We, like other development stage medical device companies, experience challenges in implementing our business strategy due to limited resources and a smaller capital base as we prioritize product development, minimize the period to the commencement of commercial sales, ensure our focus on quality as well as scale our operations. The development and commercialization of new medical devices is highly competitive. Those competitors may have substantial market share, substantially greater capital resources and established relationships with the structural heart community potentially creating barriers to adoption of our technology. Our success will partly be based on our ability to educate the market about the benefits of our disruptive technology including current unmet clinical needs compared to commercially available devices as well as how we plan to capture market share post commercialization.

On December 12, 2024, our Registration Statement relating to our initial public offering became effective pursuant to which we issued and sold 14,800,000 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $6.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $79.6 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. This excludes the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, which occurred on January 15, 2025, subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Financial Overview

As a development-stage company, we have incurred significant losses since our inception. We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve or maintain profitability.

We expect expenses for our research, clinical validation, development, design, manufacturing and marketing will increase and, as a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations. Any future funding could involve a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all.

Any failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to market our products.

Principles of Consolidation and Operating Segments

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts for our company, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities for which we have a controlling financial interest, and for periods prior to the Reorganization, the accounts of ATL, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities for which ATL has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between such entities are eliminated.

Our management has determined that the activities of the business as reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, the chief operating decision maker, are one segment, being the development and commercialization of the ADAPT[®] anti-calcification tissue. This is focused on the DurAVR[®] THV system.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue and Other Income

We currently derive revenue from the sale of regenerative tissue products. Such sales are made principally to 4C and to LeMaitre, a distributor of medical products, to whom we sold our CardioCel™and VascuCel™patch business in 2019 in order to focus on development of our proprietary ADAPT[®] tissue for the DurAVR[®] THV system. Under a distribution agreement, we manufacture and sell the CardioCel™and VascuCel™products to LeMaitre. The Transition Services Agreement with LeMaitre expired in January 2025. We do not expect to receive any significant future revenues from LeMaitre. The initial term of our Supply and License Agreement with 4C, expires on June 1, 2026, at which time it automatically renews for successive one-year terms.

68

We earn other income primarily from tax incentive payments under the Australian Government’s R&D Tax Incentive Plan for R&D activities conducted in Australia that meet specified regulatory criteria. A refundable tax offset is available to eligible companies with an annual aggregate turnover of less than AUD $20.0 million. Eligible companies can receive a refundable tax offset for a percentage of their R&D spending.

No revenue was earned from our FIH study in Tbilisi, Georgia during the year ended December 31, 2024. In the year ended December 31, 2023, we received reimbursements under the EFS from CMS because the FDA has categorized DurAVR® THV as a Category B device.

Expenses

Our most significant expenses are R&D and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cost of products sold reflects the manufacturing cost from the sale of regenerative tissue products to 4C and to LeMaitre. These expenditures include raw materials and consumables, plus other costs attributable to the manufacturing of these products.

R&D Expense

R&D has been a significant focus for us with investments in the DurAVR[®] THV system, including the DurAVR[®] THV, the ComASUR[®] delivery system, a disposable crimper, and an expandable access sheath, as we advance towards commercial use. These components are collectively managed as part of the overall DurAVR[®] THV system rather than as separate projects. Since late 2021, when our DurAVR[®] THV delivery system was first used in human trials in Tbilisi, Georgia, R&D efforts have focused on incorporating feedback from the early clinical trial and progressing towards commercialization. These costs have included, among others, preclinical studies, design iterations, lab services, clinical data monitoring, project and site management, travel, data management and safety of the study.

Going Concern

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon securing additional funds. Our ability to access capital may be impacted by various factors including economic conditions, a decline in investor confidence and sub-optimal preclinical or clinical outcomes from trials and studies. A reduced ability to access capital may result in a curtailment of the development of our product portfolio, an extended timeline to commercialization and other operational impacts.

We believe that we have the ability to raise additional funds. Notwithstanding the above factors, we are dependent upon continued support from current stockholders to fund our operations. If we do not receive cash inflows, there are substantial doubt as to whether we will be able to continue as a going concern.

The audit report covering the December 31, 2024 and 2023 consolidated financial statements of ATL contains a paragraph that states that ATL’s recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 3 Going Concern to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for ATGC for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Net Sales

Net sales in 2024 was $2.7 million, a decrease of $0.03 million (1%), compared to $2.7 million in 2023, primarily due to lower sales volumes of tissue products in 2024.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold in 2024 was $ 1.4 million, a decrease of $0.4 million (23%), compared to $1.9 million in 2023, primarily due to a change in the mix of products sold.

R&D Expense

R&D expenses in 2024 were $51.5 million, an increase of $20.6 million (67%) compared to $30.9 million in 2023. This is primarily due to $16.0 million relating to preparatory activities associated with the Pivotal Trial, including on-going product development, $3.9 million relating to the upscaling of manufacturing capabilities including the expansion of headcount, $1.3 million relating to v2vmedtech development and $0.6 million relating to increased clinical costs including those associated with the enrollment of additional patients. This was partially offset by a reduction in medical affairs of $1.4 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2024 were $28.2 million, an increase of $10.8 million (62%) compared to $17.4 million in 2023, primarily due to $4.9 million relating to the expansion of the work related our plans to re-domicile, list on Nasdaq and conduct our initial public offering, $1.4 million relating to the grant of additional stock options, $1.4 million relating to a legal claim, and $2.4 million including an increase in headcount in the Corporate departments (including Finance, Human Resources, IT, Marketing) to support the growth in our operations, and annual wage index increases.

70

Acquired In-Process R&D

Acquired in-process R&D expenses in 2023 was $0.1 million which was for costs relating to the acquisition of v2vmedtech, including in-process research and development. We did not have a corresponding charge in 2024.

Other non-operating income, net

Other non-operating income, net in 2024 was $2.4 million, an increase of $0.5 million (26%) compared to $1.9 million in 2023, primarily due to the recognition of holdback income of $0.9 million from a transaction with LeMaitre in 2019. EFS reimbursement income of $0.3 million was recognized in 2023, and we did not have corresponding income in 2024.

Net Foreign Exchange Gains/(Losses)

Net foreign exchange gains in 2024 were $1.4 million compared to $0.6 million of net foreign exchange losses in 2023, a change of $2.1 million (327%), primarily due to the change in foreign exchange rates on intercompany and cash balances. In 2024, the United States dollar appreciated by 9% relative to the Australian dollar (‘‘AUD $’’).

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs in 2024 was $0.5 million primarily due to the secured convertible note facility entered into during the year. The convertible notes were recognized at fair value through profit or loss which resulted in the costs being expensed when incurred. We did not have a corresponding charge in 2023. See ‘‘ Liquidity and Capital Resources — Convertible Note Facility ’’ for additional details regarding the secured convertible note facility.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment

Loss on debt extinguishment in 2024 was $0.9 million primarily due to settlement of the secured convertible note facility at a loss. We did not have a corresponding charge in 2023.

Loss on Asset Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity (‘VIE’’)

Loss on asset acquisition of a VIE in 2023 was $0.5 million, as when we acquired v2vmedtech, the consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. We did not have a corresponding loss or gain in 2024.

Loss Before Income Taxes from Continuing Operations

Loss before income taxes from continuing operations was $76.0 million, an increase of $29.2 million (62%) compared to $46.8 million in 2023.

Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests (‘‘NCI’’) was $0.3 million, an increase of $1.1 million (144%) compared to a $0.7 million loss in 2023 primarily due to the use of the hypothetical liquidation at book approach to measure the NCI interest which is impacted by movements in creditors and prepayments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity

We have experienced significant recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $276.4 million and $200.1 million, respectively.

In recent years, our operations have mainly been financed through the issuance of capital stock, including in our initial public offering, convertible notes, sales of regenerative tissue products and R&D tax incentives from the Australian government. Additional funding has come through interest earned from cash deposits. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $70.5 million and $21.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had capital commitments of $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, relating to the lease of properties. We did not have any other material capital expenditure commitments or contingent liabilities as of December 31, 2024. We do not believe that our current cash on hand would fund our

71

cash needs for the 12 months following December 31, 2024, and that we will need to access the capital markets and debt markets to fund our cash needs. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially.

We anticipate that we will require substantial additional funds in order to achieve our long-term goals and complete the R&D of our current products. We do not expect to generate significant revenue until we obtain regulatory approval to market and sell our products and sales of our products have commenced. We therefore expect to continue to incur substantial losses in the near future. In order to address our short-term capital needs, we intend to raise funds through the issuance of our capital stock or other securities.

Our future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend on many factors, including:

  • the scope, results and timing of clinical trials;

  • the costs of preparing and completing the Pivotal Trial of our DurAVR[®] THV system;

  • the costs and time required to obtain pre-market approval from the FDA for our DurAVR[®] THV system; and

  • the costs of establishing marketing, sales and distribution capabilities.

We may seek to raise any necessary capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings or debt financings. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we decide to raise capital by issuing equity securities, the issuance of such equity securities may result in dilution to our existing stockholders. See ‘‘ Risk Factors - Future equity financings and sales by existing holders could adversely affect the voting power or value of our Common Stock .’’ We cannot give any assurance that we will be successful in completing any financings or that any such equity or debt financing will be available to us if and when required or on satisfactory terms.

Convertible Note Facility

On October 31, 2024, ATL entered into a secured convertible note facility (the ‘‘Convertible Note Facility’’) with Obsidian Global Partners, LLC (‘‘Obsidian’’) to provide additional financing to pursue ATL’s strategic objectives, implementation of the Reorganization, and completion of our initial public offering. We were able to draw up to AUD $25.0 million with an initial AUD $7.5 million drawdown (the ‘‘First Drawdown’’) and subsequent drawdowns (each, a ‘‘Drawdown’’) of AUD $5.0 million or the remaining balance of the Facility Limit, whichever was lesser. On each drawdown, we were required to (i) issue notes convertible into shares of Common Stock (‘‘Convertible Notes’’) and (ii) pay a fee of 3% of the drawdown amount. The aggregate face value of the Convertible Notes issued pursuant to a Drawdown were equal to 115% of the principal amount of the relevant Drawdown. Each Convertible Note had a face value of $1.15.

In addition, at each Drawdown, we were to issue options, each exercisable into one share of Common Stock (‘‘Obsidian Options’’), with each Obsidian Option to have a strike price of $15.92 and a term of three years from the date of issuance. The number of Obsidian Options issued were to be such that the aggregate strike price would be equal to 25% of the amount drawn under the relevant Drawdown. For the First Drawdown, this equated to 75,000 Obsidian Options (the ‘‘First Tranche Obsidian Options’’).

Any further Drawdowns under the Convertible Note Facility could only be made by agreement between us and Obsidian (including agreement as to the drawdown amount, Drawdown date, and any cap on the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes to be issued may convert) and may have required approval from our stockholders.

In connection with the Convertible Note Facility, Obsidian was granted a senior-ranking security interest over all of ATL’s assets.

On December 16, 2024, following the closing of our initial public offering and the Reorganization, we received a notice of redemption from Obsidian, requiring that we redeem all outstanding Convertible Notes for cash. Accordingly, on December 19, 2024, we redeemed the outstanding Convertible Notes for an aggregate cash payment

72

of $5.7 million and paid Obsidian an additional $0.2 million in lieu of the First Tranche Obsidian Options (representing AUD $0.3 million converted to United States dollars using the opening spot rate reported by the Reserve Bank of Australia of $0.6367 to AUD $1.00 on December 16, 2024). Upon redemption, no Convertible Notes were outstanding under the Convertible Note Facility.

On February 18, 2025, the Convertible Note Facility was terminated, and the security interest was released.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during 2024 was $61.2 million, an increase of $26.6 million (77%), compared to $34.6 million in 2023, primarily due to the acceleration of R&D activities in preparation for the Pivotal Trial, an increase in salaries and wages linked to growth in headcount and increased costs due to the expansion of the work related to our plans to re-domicile, list on Nasdaq and conduct our initial public offering in 2024.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in 2024 was $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.3 million (12%), compared to $2.6 million in 2023, primarily due to $0.2 million of costs relating to the acquisition of v2vmedtech in 2023. We did not have a corresponding cash outflow in 2024.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2024 was $112.8 million, an increase of 63.5 million (129%), compared to $49.3 million in 2023, primarily due to an increase of $65.6 million in net proceeds received from share issuances including in our initial public offering and the exercise of options for new shares, plus $5.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Notes, partly offset by an increase of $6.9 million in repayments of debt instruments including related costs of issuance.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Leases

We lease laboratory facilities and offices. The leases typically include options to renew at which time the lease payments are subject to market adjustments and/or set price increases. Extension and termination options are included in a number of the leases to allow for flexibility in terms of corporate growth and managing the assets used in our operations. The leases expire between 2025 and 2029 and some include options to extend. At December 31, 2024, we had contractual commitments (on an undiscounted basis) for property leases of $1.7 million, which were recognized at $1.4 million.

Warrants

On October 25, 2017, ATL issued a 7-year warrant to Partners for Growth V, L.P. (‘‘PFG’’) for the issue of 4,938,799 ordinary shares in ATL at an exercise price of $0.1731 (AUD $0.2531) per share (the ‘‘Warrant’’). The Warrant was reconstructed due to a consolidation of capital of ATL, and entitled the holder to be issued

73

49,388 ordinary shares in ATL at an exercise price of $17.31 (AUD $25.31) per share. The Warrant expired on October 25, 2024. Upon the expiration of the Warrant, PFG exercised the put option and PFG put the Warrant to ATL for $1 million (AUD $1.5 million), which was subsequently paid on October 31, 2024.

Commitments

At December 31, 2024, we had commitments to purchase $0.3 million of plant and equipment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently do not have, and did not have during the periods presented, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have used various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (‘‘United States GAAP’’). Our significant accounting policies and estimates are more fully described in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Management continually evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgments, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations regarding future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties and may be material.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit and Risk Committee and our Board. In addition, there are other items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements.

We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies and estimates, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Going Concern

Our ability to continue as a going concern and fund the path to profitability is dependent upon securing additional funds in the future. The ability to access capital may be impacted by various factors including economic conditions, a decline in investor confidence and/or sub-optimal preclinical or clinical outcomes from trials/studies. A reduced ability to access capital may result in a curtailment of the development activities of the product portfolio, a delayed timeline to commercialization and other operational impacts.

We believe that we have the ability to raise additional funds. If we do not receive the forecasted cash inflows, there are material uncertainties as to whether we will be able to continue as a going concern.

R&D Tax Incentive Income

Government grants are received under the Australian government’s R&D Tax Incentive program, such that a percentage of our eligible R&D expenses are reimbursed by the Australian government with the incentive being recognized as other income. Government grants relating to costs incurred are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over the periods in which the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which they are intended to compensate.

The R&D Tax incentive income is recognized as income once we are satisfied that we have complied with the conditions attached to the tax incentives and that the tax incentives will be received. Significant judgment is required in determining the amount and timing of recognition, as the grant requirements are complex. The Australian Taxation Office’s interpretation of specific expenditures’ eligibility may vary, potentially leading to variances to our estimations. We recognized income of $1.0 million and $0.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which included estimated accruals of $0.8 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

74

Stock-Based Payments

Equity-settled stock-based compensation benefits are provided to employees, directors and consultants in exchange for the rendering of services. We measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock- based awards based on estimated fair values determined at grant date. Fair value is determined using Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo models which require various inputs including the exercise price and share price at grant date, plus other highly judgmental assumptions, such as share price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and the expected option term. For options with service conditions, the expense is recognized over the service period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimate forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and we reassess the probability of vesting at each quarter end and adjust the stock-based compensation expense based on its probability assessment. Judgment is required in estimating which stock options will ultimately be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations would be impacted.

The following key assumptions were used in valuing stock-based payments:

  • Risk-free interest rate was based on Australian government bonds aligned to the life of the securities, with the range being 3.56% - 4.48% (year to December 31, 2024) and 3.2% - 4.4% (year to December 31, 2023).

  • The expected price volatility range of 40.0% - 65.5% (year to December 31, 2024) and 55.0% - 75.1% (year to December 31, 2023) based on our historic volatility and the remaining life of the securities, adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

Consolidation of VIEs

We consolidate a VIE when the reporting entity (a) has an economic interest in another legal entity (known as a ‘‘variable interest’’) that conveys more than insignificant exposure to potential losses of or benefits from the other legal entity; and (b) has power over the most significant economic activities of the legal entity. There is significant judgment over the analysis to determine whether an entity is a VIE, to determine whether we have a variable interest and to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

We determined that v2vmedtech is a VIE and that we are the primary beneficiary of v2vmedtech. This determination is based on our having both power over the most significant activities of v2vmedtech, primarily through holding a majority of the positions on v2vmedtech’s Board (although v2v’s non-ATL shareholder representative on the v2v Board presently maintains certain veto rights), controlling the appointment of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer roles, being the exclusive partner to develop v2vmedtech’s products, and benefits through equity ownership. A loss on asset acquisition of $0.5 million was recognized in 2023 as at acquisition date.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

New accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. If not explicitly addressed otherwise, we believe that the recently issued standards, which have not yet taken effect, will not materially affect our present or near future financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses . This ASU is effective January 1, 2027. ASU 2024-03 will require us to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as applicable, included in certain expense captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as qualitatively describe remaining amounts included in those captions. ASU 2024-03 will also require us to disclose both the amount and our definition of selling expenses.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 intends to enhance income tax disclosures to address investor requests for more information about the tax risks and opportunities present in an entity’s worldwide operations. The ASU’s two primary enhancements will require further disaggregation for existing disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective January 1, 2026 for smaller reporting companies. We have evaluated the effect of adopting this accounting guidance and will include the new required disclosures in future filings as needed.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. This ASU is effective January 1, 2025 for smaller reporting companies. We have assessed the impact of adopting this accounting guidance and have determined that it does not materially impact the fair value measurement of our existing equity securities. Nevertheless, we will apply the guidance and incorporate the new required disclosures in future filings as needed.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

We are an ‘‘emerging growth company,’’ as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our initial public offering; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion; (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a ‘‘large accelerated filer’’ as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Common Stock (including Common Stock represented by CDIs) held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year; or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company:

  • we will avail ourselves of the exemption from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our independent registered public accounting firm on the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the ‘‘Sarbanes-Oxley Act’’);

  • we will provide less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and

  • we will not require non-binding, advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards during the period in which we remain an emerging growth company.

As a result, the information that we provide to our investors may be different than what you might receive from other public reporting companies. However, we may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early.

We are also a ‘‘smaller reporting company,’’ as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as the market value of our Common Stock (including Common Stock represented by CDIs) held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our Common Stock (including Common Stock represented by CDIs) held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

As a smaller reporting company we will present only two years of audited annual financial statements, plus any required unaudited interim condensed financial statements, and related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Anteris Technologies Global Corp.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Anteris Technologies Global Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024. Brisbane, Australia March 12, 2025

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (‘‘ATGC,’’ ‘‘Anteris,’’ ‘‘Company,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’) was incorporated in Delaware on January 29, 2024. ATGC was formed for the purpose of reorganizing the operations of Anteris Technologies Ltd (‘‘ATL’’), an Australian public company originally registered in Western Australia, Australia and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (‘‘ASX’’), into a structure whereby the ultimate parent company would be a Delaware corporation (the ‘‘reverse recapitalization’’).

On December 16, 2024, the Company received all the issued and outstanding shares of ATL pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Australian law between ATL and its shareholders (the ‘‘Scheme’’) under Part 5.1 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the ‘‘Corporations Act’’). Contemporaneously with implementation of the Scheme, ATL cancelled all existing options it had outstanding in exchange for the ATGC issuing replacement options to acquire shares of ATGC’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (‘‘Common Stock’’) pursuant to a scheme of arrangement between ATL and its option holders (the ‘‘Option Scheme’’) under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act.

Prior to completion of the reverse recapitalization, ATGC had no business or operations and following completion of the reverse recapitalization, the business and operations of ATGC consist solely of the business and operations of ATL and its subsidiaries. As a result of the reverse recapitalization, ATGC became the parent company of ATL, and for financial reporting purposes the historical financial statements of ATL became the historical financial statements of ATGC as a continuation of the predecessor.

On December 16, 2024, the Company completed the reverse recapitalization. On December 16, 2024, following the reverse recapitalization, the Company completed an initial public offering (‘‘IPO’’) of 14,800,000 shares of Common Stock.

ATGC’s principal activities consist of:

  • Continued research and development (‘‘R&D’’) of development of DurAVR[®] THV consisting of a single-piece biomimetic valve made with our primary ADAPT[®] tissue-enhancing technology and deployed with our ComASUR[®] balloon-expandable delivery system, to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of aortic stenosis. The DurAVR[®] THV, with its single piece, native-shaped biomimetic design is built to mimic the performance of a healthy aortic valve and to restore normal laminar blood flow. This new class of technology can be used to treat new aortic stenosis patients and to treat aortic stenosis patients where their current bioprosthetic aortic valve is failing (‘‘valve-in-valve’’);

  • Generating and compiling data to gain United States Food and Drug Administration (‘‘FDA’’) approval to commence the randomized global pivotal study (the ‘‘Pivotal Trial’’), a key milestone on the path to commercialization; and

  • The co-development with v2vmedtech, inc. (‘‘v2v’’), of an innovative heart valve repair device for the minimally invasive treatment of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation (also known as a leaky valve).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (‘‘US GAAP’’). These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Unless noted otherwise, all dollar amounts are in thousands of United States dollars (‘‘US dollars’’ or ‘‘$’’). Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and changes in equity of ATL and its wholly-owned subsidiaries for the period of January 1, 2024 up to December 16, 2024, the closing date of the reverse recapitalization (the ‘‘Closing

84

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Date’’), and the consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity of ATGC and its consolidated subsidiaries, including ATL, for the period of December 16, 2024 through December 31, 2024. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024 presents the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including ATL, and reflects the initial recording of ATGC’s assets and liabilities at their historical cost.

In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, ATL’s historical equity has been retrospectively restated for all periods up to the Closing Date to reflect the number of shares of Common Stock issued to Legacy ATL Holders in connection with the reverse recapitalization. Additionally, the par value of Common Stock has been restated to align with the post-transaction capital structure.

The Company is an emerging growth company (‘‘EGC’’), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 , as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the ‘‘JOBS Act’’), which permits the Company to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies.

(b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ATGC, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities (‘‘VIEs’’) for which ATGC has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. ATGC and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘‘Group’’.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity. All subsidiaries of ATGC have a reporting year end of December 31.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated.

(c) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management continually evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgments, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties and may be material.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors (the ‘‘Board’’). In addition, there are other items within the financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on the financial statements.

Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Going concern: The Directors assess whether the Company and the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether they will realize their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in this financial report. In the event that opportunities do not eventuate there are material uncertainties as to whether they will be able to continue as a going concern.

  • Timing of recognition of the research and development tax incentive income: Judgment is required in determining the amount and timing of recognition of the research and development tax incentive asset. As

85

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

the grant requirements are complex, the Group performs detailed analysis over eligible expenditure based on the criteria set by the relevant taxation authorities and assesses whether there is reasonable assurance that the research and development tax incentive grant will be received.

  • Stock-based compensation fair value inputs: Fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model (‘‘Black-Scholes model’’) and a Monte Carlo model which require various inputs including the exercise price and share price at grant date, plus other judgmental assumptions, such as share price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and the expected option term.

(d) Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is ATGC’s reporting currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated using the average monthly currency exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included as operating income or expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Conversion to presentation currency

The assets and liabilities of non-U.S. dollar functional currency entities are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, and the revenues and expenses of those entities are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximates the rate at the date of the transaction. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for the change in retained earnings during the year, which is the result of the income statement translation process. The cumulative translation adjustments associated with the net assets of foreign subsidiaries are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Stockholders’ Equity.

The determination of the functional and reporting currency of each Group company is based on the primary currency in which the Group company operates. ATGC and Anteris Technologies Corporation have the U.S. dollar (USD or $) as their functional currency, ATL and the Australian subsidiaries’ use the Australian dollar (AUD $) as their functional currency, and another subsidiary has the Swiss franc (CHF) as its functional currency.

(e) Net sales

Net sales from the sale of goods, which is primarily ADAPT[®] tissue, are recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied, typically being upon delivery to the customer’s premises when control of the goods transfers to the customer. Revenue is recognized at an amount which reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods.

The Company generates its revenue from direct product sales and typically does not have any significant unusual payment terms beyond 30 days in its contracts with customers.

The Company offers volume rebates to certain customers, with these volume rebates being recorded as a reduction to sales. The amount of sales rebates are estimated based on contracted rebate terms, projected sales and historical experience.

Revenue recognition is determined by considering sales rebates and returns, which are assessed through sales terms, historical data, and trend analysis. When estimating rebates, the Company takes into account factors such as the stated rebate rates, trending volumes and other relevant information. Adjustments to rebates and returns reserves are recorded by the Company as either revenue increases or decreases. The Company offers warranties on its tissue and valves that they conform to the specifications, fit for their intended purpose, and do not have material defects.

86

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on specific revenue producing transactions and collected by the Company from customers (for example, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes) are not included in revenue.

Shipping costs to move products from the Company’s premises to the customer’s premises, are included in ‘‘Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.’’ Handling costs, which are costs incurred to store at the Company’s premises, move, and prepare products for shipment, are included in ‘‘Cost of products sold.’’

(f) Other income

Interest income

Interest income is recognized as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts contractual future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other income

Other income is recognized when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Research and development tax incentive income

Government grants are received under the Australian government’s research and development tax incentive program, such that a percentage of eligible research and development expenses are reimbursed by the Australian government with the incentive being recognized as other income. Government grants relating to costs incurred are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the periods in which the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which they are intended to compensate.

The research and development tax incentive income is recognized as income once the Group is satisfied that the Group has complied with the conditions attached to the tax incentives and that the tax incentives will be received. The value is estimated based on an assessment of actual and budgeted eligible research and development expenditure data for the period. Significant judgment is required in determining the amount and timing of recognition, as the grant requirements are complex.

(g) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. The Company’s restricted cash primarily represent funds placed in escrow related to operating leases and as collateral for a credit line. As of December 31, 2024, the restricted cash balance was $0.4 million.

(h) Accounts receivable and other financing receivables

Accounts receivable are amounts due from customers for direct product sales in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore all classified as current. Accounts receivable are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional. The Company holds the accounts receivable with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortized cost less impairment allowances.

An allowance is maintained for estimated losses in the collection of accounts receivable based on customer-specific analysis. The allowance is assessed by considering factors including the recent sales experience, the aging of receivables and historical collection rates. Uncollectible amounts are written-off against the allowance when it is

87

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

determined that a customer account is uncollectible. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Company, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 120 days past due. Subsequent recoveries on amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

Other receivables are recognized at amortized cost, less any expected loss allowance.

(i) Inventories

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a weighted average cost formula. Cost comprises direct materials and delivery costs, direct labor, import duties and other taxes, plus an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The Company recognizes an inventory reserve to recognize write-downs recorded against the carrying value of inventories for items that are obsolete, damaged, nearing its expiration date, or slow-moving.

(j) Plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Additions and improvements that extend the lives of the assets are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Costs incurred in acquiring software and licenses that will contribute to future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalized to software and systems. Costs capitalized include external direct costs of materials and services.

An item of plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company assesses plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over their expected useful lives. Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Impairment of Long-lived assets

The Group assesses impairment of long-lived assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the asset or asset group that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization periods, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair market value. For the purposes of identifying and measuring impairment, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.

88

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(k) Leases

The Company’s lease agreements include leases accounted for as operating leases and those accounted for as finance leases. Finance lease right-of-use assets are included in plant and equipment, net, and finance lease liabilities are included in current debt obligations and long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Group leases laboratory facilities and offices through operating leases. The Group leases IT equipment through finance leases.

See note 8 Leases for further information.

Anteris is not a lessor in any lease arrangement.

Anteris as the Lessee

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At the lease commencement date, the Group recognizes a right-of-use (‘‘ROU’’) asset (the right to use the leased item) and a corresponding lease liability, except for short term leases. Anteris have made an accounting policy election to apply the short-term lease election to all classes of underlying assets, being those leases which have a term of 12 months or less. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of the lease and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Lease liabilities

For operating and finance leases, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date.

Lease liabilities are subsequently measured by reducing the balance to reflect the principal lease repayments made and increasing the carrying amount by the interest on the lease liability. The Group is required to remeasure the lease liability and make an adjustment to the right of use asset in the following instances:

  • the term of the lease has been modified or there has been a change in the assessment of a purchase option being exercised, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate;

  • a lease contract is modified, and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate; and

  • the lease payments are adjusted due to changes in the index or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate. However, if a change in lease payments is due to a change in a floating interest rate, a revised discount rate is used.

Lease liabilities which will be repaid within twelve months are recognized as current and the liabilities which will be repaid in excess of twelve months are recognized as non-current liabilities.

Lessees are required to discount future lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, for operating leases, the Group cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the

89

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Group generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment and on a collateralized basis over a similar term.

ROU assets

The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received.

For finance leases, the ROU asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. Any remeasurement of the lease liability is also applied against the ROU asset value.

For operating leases, the ROU asset is subsequently measured at the amount of the remeasured lease liability, adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives, accrued or prepaid rents. The carrying amount of the ROU asset approximates the present value of the remaining benefits to the Group at each measurement date.

Extension and termination options

Extension and termination options are included in a number of property operating leases across the group and are an area of judgment. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

(l) Intangibles

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognized at cost. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortization and any impairment.

The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting period. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortization method or period.

The Group holds finite life intangible assets which are amortized on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives.

The Group holds intellectual property relating to the ADAPT[®] tissue engineering technology which was recognized based on an external valuation via a business combination. It is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of its expected benefit, being 14 years.

Significant costs associated with the registration of patents and trademarks are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit. The term of individual patents depends upon the legal term for patents in the countries in which they are granted. In most countries, including the United States and Australia, the patent term is 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date of a non-provisional patent application in the applicable country.

In the United States, a patent’s term may, in certain cases, be lengthened by patent term adjustment, which compensates a patentee for administrative delays by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in examining and granting a patent, or may be shortened if a patent is terminally disclaimed over a commonly owned patent or a patent naming a common inventor and having an earlier expiration date.

Impairment of intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount of the assets or asset group may be impaired. If an impairment trigger exists, the

90

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, historic or anticipated declines in revenue or operating profit, and adverse legal or regulatory developments. If it is determined that such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization periods, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair market value. Estimated fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

(m) Derivative financial instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) 815 Derivatives and Hedging . The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. Conversion options are recorded as a discount to the host instrument and are amortized as amortization of debt discount on the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the life of the underlying instrument. Hybrid instruments measured at fair value are not evaluated for embedded derivatives.

Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current liabilities based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value and on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Since the Company does not elect to apply hedge accounting, the gains and losses on the fair value movements of the derivative financial instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(n) Debt obligations

Interest-bearing debt obligations

Debt obligations are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Debt obligations are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Convertible notes

The Company elected to measure its convertible note financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Related upfront costs and fees are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.

Warrant liabilities

Warrants are freestanding derivatives which meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

(o) Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be

91

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Deferred taxes, including valuation allowances, are determined separately for each tax-paying component in each jurisdiction. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, carryback availability, both historical experience and the Company’s forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Unrecognized tax benefits

The Group recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not (greater than 50% likelihood) of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Where the Group expects a tax position to be sustained, it recognizes the tax benefit as the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining unrecognized tax benefits. The Group records liabilities or makes other adjustments for unrecognized tax benefits based on the Group’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact current and deferred taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The Group has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024.

Inherent in determining the income tax amounts, including the valuation allowance, are judgments regarding business plans, tax planning opportunities and expectations about future outcomes. Realization of certain deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction prior to the expiration of the carryforward periods. Currently, management has recognized a valuation allowance for the amount of the deferred tax assets not supported by future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences as management believes that it is more likely than not that those deferred tax assets will not be realized.

(p) Stock-based payments

Equity-settled stock-based compensation benefits are provided to employees, directors and consultants in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled stock-based payment transactions provide employees with the right to cash payments upon the satisfaction of vesting conditions.

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values determined at grant date.

The fair value of the cash-settled stock-based obligation is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, with a corresponding increase in liabilities. Upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions attached to the rights, the provision becomes a payable. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the rights. Any changes in the liability are recognized in profit or loss.

If equity-settled awards are modified, an additional expense is recognized, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the stock-based compensation benefit as of the date of modification.

Employee service-based stock-based compensation

Anteris offers employees service-based stock options and restricted stock units (‘‘RSUs’’) as it believes that the grant of these awards to employees assists with attracting, motivating and aligning the interest of employees with those of its stockholders.

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period (vesting period) on a straight-line basis. Forfeitures are

92

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

estimated at the time of grant and the Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each quarter end and adjusts the stock-based compensation expense based on its probability assessment. Upon exercise of stock options and upon completion of the RSU vesting conditions, the Company issues shares of Common Stock.

Director stock options

The directors have been awarded service-based stock options with the same terms and conditions as the above-mentioned employee service-based stock options. The treatment of these stock options is consistent with the employee stock options.

The directors have also been issued stock options which in addition to the service-based conditions, contain target share price market conditions. The fair value of these options is determined using the Monte Carlo option pricing model which takes into consideration the market conditions. Compensation cost is recognized provided that the service is rendered, regardless of when, if ever, the market condition is satisfied. The fair value of the award is recognized as an expense over the longer of the requisite service period and the derived service period for the market condition.

Stock options and shares issued to external consultants

On occasion, the Company has granted options or shares to external consultants as consideration for services provided. Awards granted to non-employees are measured at the grant date by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued in exchange for goods or services received. The expense is recognized in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

Fair value estimates

Fair value is determined using Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo models which require various inputs including the exercise price and share price at grant date, plus other highly judgmental assumptions, such as share price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and the expected option term. For options with service conditions, the expense is recognized over the service period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimate forfeitures. Judgment is required in estimating which stock options will ultimately be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and the results of operations would be impacted.

(q) Earnings/Loss per share

Basic earnings (or loss) per share is computed by dividing net profit/loss by the weighted-average Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings/loss per share is computed based on the weighted-average Common Stock outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential Common Stock outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential Common Stock includes employee equity stock options, non-vested shares, and similar equity instruments granted by the Company. Potential Common Stock equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

(r) Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

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

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Classifications are reviewed each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

(s) Other liabilities

The Company records a liability in the consolidated financial statements where it is probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount may be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible but not probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed.

Lease asset retirement obligation

The lease asset retirement obligation relates to the removing of leasehold improvements including laboratories, clean rooms and office spaces and returning the premises to their original condition in accordance with the lease agreements. The calculation of this obligation requires assumptions such as closure dates and cost estimates. The amount recognized for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time.

(t) Employee benefits

Liabilities for employment benefits, which include wages and salaries, bonuses, post-employment benefits, annual leave and long-term service benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

The liability for annual leave and long-term service benefits not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution savings plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Australian employees are entitled to contributions to defined contribution plans (superannuation) at 12.0% of the participant’s annual eligible compensation (post July 1, 2024) subject to certain contribution caps. The rate has increased by 0.5% annually for the past three years. The net expense related to these plans was $0.7 million and $0.6 million in fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company’s employees in the United States are eligible to participate in a qualified defined contribution plan. Employees receive 3% employer contributions limited by the eligible compensation threshold.

(u) Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which they are incurred. Research and development costs include costs of research, engineering, and technical activities to develop a new product or service or make significant improvement to an existing product or manufacturing process. Research and development costs also include pre-approval regulatory and clinical trial expenses. Research and development costs also include expenses associated with the purchase of intellectual property relating to a particular research and development project that has no alternative future uses, costs of inventory in jurisdictions where regulatory approval from regulatory authorities has not yet been obtained, services and supplies associated with clinical studies, registries and sponsored research. These costs include direct salary and employee benefit-related costs for research and development personnel, costs for materials used and costs for outside services.

(v) Asset acquisition

The Company evaluates acquisitions of entities or assets to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If this screen criteria is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs which would meet the definition of a business. The Company measures and segment recognizes asset acquisitions that are not deemed to be business combinations based on the cost to acquire the assets.

In an asset acquisition, the cost allocated to acquire in-process research and development (‘‘IPR&D’’) with no alternative future use is charged to research and development expense at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in asset acquisitions, including contingent assets and liabilities and non-controlling interests (‘‘NCI’’) in the acquired assets at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition.

(w) Variable Interest Entities

Under ASC 810 Consolidation (‘‘ASC 810’’), when the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, it evaluates the entity to determine if it should be deemed a Variable Interest Entity (‘‘VIE’’), and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and is therefore required to consolidate the VIE, based on significant judgment whether the Company (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

On an ongoing basis, the Company re-evaluates the VIE assessment based on potential changes in facts and circumstances, including but not limited to, the stockholder loans to the entity and the execution of any future significant agreements between the entity and its stockholders and/or other third parties.

(x) Segment reporting

Segment information is presented using a management approach, meaning that segment information is provided on the same basis as information is used for internal reporting purposes by the chief operating decision maker (‘‘CODM’’) which is the Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (‘‘CEO’’), who makes key strategic decisions.

95

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources and assessing the performance of the Group. Management has determined that the activities of the business as reviewed by the CODM are one segment, being the development and commercialization of the ADAPT[®] anti-calcification tissue. This is focused on the DurAVR[®] THV system.

(y) Reverse recapitalization

In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations , when ATGC (or ‘‘the legal parent’’) acquired ATL (‘‘the legal subsidiary’’), the transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. The substance of the transaction was that the pre-transaction shareholders of ATL (the accounting acquirer) had effectively obtained control of ATGC.

Under reverse recapitalization accounting, the consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal parent (being ATGC) but, with the exception of stockholder’s equity, the financial statements will represent a continuation of ATL’s (the legal subsidiary’s) financial information. ATL’s assets and liabilities will be recognized at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded in the financial statements.

At the date of acquisition, the assets and liabilities of the Group were recognized and measured in the consolidated financial statements at their pre-combination carrying amounts and added to the assets and liabilities of ATGC.

The Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for comparative periods has been restated to reflect the equity structure of ATGC, while maintaining the historical retained earnings of ATL.

(z) Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50) Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The ASU requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. This ASU was effective January 1, 2024 for smaller reporting companies. The adoption of ASU 2022-04 on January 1, 2024 resulted in additional disclosures as shown in note 11 Debt Obligations.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 enhances segment reporting by expanding the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures required for public entities. The amendments in this ASU notably allow registrants to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss and clarify single reportable segment entities must apply Topic 280 in its entirety. This ASU was effective January 1, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024 resulted in additional disclosures as shown in note 21 Segment reporting .

(aa) New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

New accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not explicitly addressed otherwise, the Company believes that the recently issued standards, which have not yet taken effect, will not materially affect its present or near future financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 , Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU is effective January 1, 2027. ASU 2024-03 will require the Company to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as applicable, included in certain expense captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as qualitatively describe remaining amounts included in those captions. ASU 2024-03 will also require the Company to disclose both the amount and the Company’s definition of selling expenses.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . ASU 2023-09 intends to enhance income tax disclosures to address investor requests for more information about the tax risks and opportunities present in an entity’s worldwide operations. The ASU’s two primary

96

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

enhancements will require further disaggregation for existing disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective January 1, 2026 for certain emerging growth companies. The Company has evaluated the effect of adopting this accounting guidance and will include the new required disclosures in future filings as needed.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions . ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. This ASU is effective January 1, 2025 for smaller reporting companies. The Company has assessed the impact of adopting this accounting guidance and has determined that it does not materially impact the fair value measurement of our existing equity securities. Nevertheless, the Company will apply the guidance and incorporate the new required disclosures in future filings as needed.

3. GOING CONCERN

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and realization of assets and discharges of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a net loss of $76.2 million and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $61.2 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2024. As of that date, the Group had a cash balance of $70.5 million.

The Group has been investing in research and development activities associated with the continuing development and proposed commercialization of DurAVR[®] THV system, as well as continuing to invest in research and development. In the year ended December 31, 2024, amounts invested in research and development activities and general operations exceeded cash inflows associated with sales of CardioCel[TM] and VascuCel[TM] products tissue products plus research and development tax incentives from the Australian government. The Company generated proceeds of $127.2 million from the issue of equity securities (before underwriting discounts, commissions and other transaction costs).

The Group anticipates that additional funds will need to be generated in order to achieve the Group’s long-term goals and complete the research and development of current products. The Group does not expect to generate significant revenue until after regulatory approvals to commercially sell DurAVR[®] THV system have been obtained and sales have commenced. The Group therefore expects to continue incurring substantial losses in the near future.

To become and remain profitable, the Group has commenced conducting clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals with the aim of commercializing, manufacturing and supplying products, including DurAVR[®] THV system, that generate significant revenue. For medtech devices, including DurAVR[®] THV system, this will require the Group to obtain further relevant regulatory approvals, successfully complete product clinical trials, develop and expand quality management systems, obtain regulatory approval post completion of clinical trials, expand manufacturing and distribution capabilities and comply with ongoing post-market regulatory requirements.

Prior to achieving commercialization, the Group will periodically require capital infusion through the issuance of shares of Common Stock, debt instruments, or other securities that can be converted into Common Stock. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to attract additional capital and ultimately, upon its ability to develop future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain positive cash flow from operations. If the Group is unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, it may be necessary to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its operations, which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and its ability to operate as a going concern. However, the Group has established a track record of successfully raising new capital and debt facilities. This includes completing an IPO of 14,800,000 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of $88.8 million before underwriting discounts, commissions and other transaction costs in Q4 2024.

97

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

3. GOING CONCERN (continued)

The above conditions give rise to substantial doubt as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance date of these financial statements.

The Directors and management believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate for the reasons outlined above.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realize its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

In 2023, Government grants primarily consisted of $0.7 million research and development tax incentive income accrued relating to the year ended December 31, 2023.

  • (2) In 2019, the Group sold the distribution rights to its CardioCel™and VascuCel™product range to LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (‘‘LeMaitre’’). The agreement provided that Anteris was entitled to an earn-out payable upon receipt of product approval under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (‘‘EUMDR’’).

In 2023, the agreement with LeMaitre was amended to require LeMaitre to be responsible for obtaining regulatory approvals under the EUMDR. Anteris is entitled to receive a holdback amount of $2.0 million less the associated regulatory approval costs incurred by LeMaitre (capped at €0.6 million) payable in the following instalments:

  • Anteris is entitled to 33% of the holdback amount by January 26, 2025 if LeMaitre does not obtain the regulatory approvals for either the CardioCel™and VascuCel™by January 11, 2025. The payment will be reduced by 33% of eligible deductions. The first instalment was recognized as other non-operating income in 2023 and is recognized in other current assets as of December 31, 2024.

  • The remaining 67% of the holdback amount is due on the following basis with the eligible deductions applied on a proportional basis to those activities:

  • a) 75% when LeMaitre receive the CardioCel™regulatory approval; and

  • b) 25% when LeMaitre receive the VascuCel™regulatory approval.

The second holdback entitlement was recognized as income as of December 31, 2024 as it was considered probable that LeMaitre will receive the regulatory approval and a significant reversal of the income will not occur. Subsequent to year-end, LeMaitre confirmed that they had received the regulatory approvals from the EUMDR.

  • (3) EFS income generated while assessing the feasibility and viability of the DurAVR[®] THV system is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

The valuation allowance of $54.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and $37.1 million as of December 31, 2023 reduces deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. This allowance primarily relates

to the net operating loss carryforwards of the Group as management does not believe that it is more likely than not that these net operating losses will be utilized. The increase in the valuation allowance is primarily related to the additional net operating losses and capitalized research and development recorded during the fiscal year.

The portion of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which subsequently recognized tax benefits would be applied directly to contributed capital was $2.1 million in 2024 and 2023.

Included within the Australian carryforwards disclosed above, the Australian tax consolidated group has $4.1 million of transferred losses at December 31, 2024, which are subject to loss recoupment testing and their available fraction which limits the annual rate at which losses may be claimed by the parent entity.

The Group’s operating loss carryforwards are subject to examination with taxing authorities specific to each geography in which they were incurred and the filing and finalization of income tax returns. The actual operating loss carryforwards available on filing of these returns may be different. The operating loss carryforwards may not be realizable in whole or in part due to the generation of significant future income being dependent on obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals, which are not in place as of December 31, 2024.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had $220.5 million of operating loss carryforwards in the United States, Australia and other international jurisdictions, of up to $145.5 million carryforward indefinitely, with the remaining $75.0 million due to expire during fiscal years 2026 through to 2045 if not used.

The Group files income tax returns in a number of jurisdictions including the United States, Australia, Switzerland and Singapore. Income tax returns for all wholly-owned subsidiaries have been filed for the period ended December 31, 2023. With limited exceptions, all years prior to 2020 in Australia and 2021 in the United States are no longer subject to examination by taxation authorities.

8. LEASES

The Group’s lease agreements include leases accounted for as operating leases and those accounted for as finance leases. This note provides information for leases where the Group is a lessee.

The Group leases laboratory facilities and offices through operating leases. These leases typically include lease options to renew the lease at which time the lease payments are renegotiated or adjusted to reflect pre-agreed charges or market rentals. Extension and termination options are included in a number of the property leases to allow for flexibility in terms of corporate growth and managing the assets used in the Group’s operations.

The Group leases IT equipment through finance leases with contract terms of 2-5 years. In order to extend the leases, both parties must agree. Finance lease ROU assets are included in plant and equipment, net and finance lease liabilities are included in current debt obligations and long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The ROU assets, lease liabilities, lease costs, cash flows, and lease maturities associated with the Group’s finance leases were not material to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2024 and 2023.

Estimated legal contingency liability

The Company has received a legal claim in connection with an equity raise undertaken in 2024 and the subsequent United States IPO. Anteris denies the claims and no court proceedings have been filed at this stage. A provision of $1.4 million has been recognized in relation to this claim. Any further developments that could impact this estimate will be assessed in future reporting periods.

Cash-settled stock-based payment provision

Refer to note 16 Stock-based Compensation .

Lease asset retirement obligation

The lease asset retirement obligation relates to the removing of leasehold improvements including laboratories, clean rooms and office spaces and returning the premises to their original condition in accordance with the lease agreements. The calculation of this obligation requires assumptions such as closure dates and cost estimates. The amount recognized for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites are recognized in the balance sheet by adjusting the asset and the liability.

11. DEBT OBLIGATIONS

Convertible Note Facility

On October 31, 2024, ATL entered into a secured convertible note facility (the ‘‘Convertible Note Facility’’) with Obsidian Global Partners, LLC (‘‘Obsidian’’) to provide additional financing to pursue ATL’s strategic objectives, implementation of the Scheme, and implementation of the IPO. The Convertible Note Facility was assumed by the Company upon completion of the Scheme. In connection with the Convertible Note Facility, Obsidian was granted a senior-ranking security interest over all of ATL’s assets.

ATL or ATGC (following the implementation of the Scheme) was able to draw up to AUD $25.0 million (the ‘‘Facility Limit’’, equivalent to $15.5 million as of December 31, 2024) from the Convertible Note Facility, with an initial AUD $7.5 million drawdown (the ‘‘First Drawdown’’) and subsequent drawdowns (subject to mutual agreement) in increments of AUD $5.0 million or the balance of the Facility Limit, whichever was lesser. On each drawdown, we were required to (i) issue notes convertible into Common Stock (‘‘Convertible Notes’’) and (ii) pay a fee of 3% of the drawdown amount. The aggregate face value of the Convertible Notes issued pursuant to a drawdown were equal to 115% of the principal amount of the relevant drawdown. Each Convertible Note had a face value of $1.15.

In addition, at each drawdown, ATL would issue options to Obsidian, each exercisable into one ordinary share of ATL or share of Common Stock (following the implementation of the Scheme) (‘‘Obsidian Options’’), with each Obsidian Option to have a strike price of $15.92 (AUD $25.00) and a term of three years from the date of issuance. The number of Obsidian Options issued were to be such that the aggregate strike price would be equal to 25% of the amount drawn under the relevant drawdown. For the First Drawdown, this equated to 75,000 Obsidian Options.

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

11. DEBT OBLIGATIONS (continued)

On November 7, 2024, 4,956,750 Convertible Notes were issued as a result of the First Drawdown of $5.0 million (AUD $7.5 million). As a result of the First Drawdown, ATL had an obligation to grant the Obsidian Options (subject to ATL obtaining shareholder approval), or if shareholder approval was not obtained, ATL or the Company (following the implementation of the Scheme) was obliged to pay AUD $0.3 million to Obsidian.

On December 16, 2024, following the closing of the IPO and the Scheme, the Company received a notice of redemption from Obsidian, requiring the Company to redeem all outstanding convertible notes for cash. On December 19, 2024, the Company paid Obsidian $5.7 million for the Convertible Notes and additional $0.2 million in lieu of the Obsidian options required to be issued in connection with the first drawdown (representing AUD $0.3 million converted to U.S. dollars using the opening spot rate reported by the Reserve Bank of Australia of $0.6367 to AUD $1.00 on December 16, 2024). The loss on debt extinguishment has been disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. No Convertible Notes were outstanding under the Convertible Note Facility.

On February 18, 2025, the Convertible Note Facility was terminated, and the security interest was released.

Warrant liabilities

In conjunction with receiving a loan facility from Partners For Growth (‘‘PFG’’) in October 2017, ATL issued PFG a 7-year warrant for the issue of 49,388 ordinary shares in ATL at an exercise price of $17.31 (AUD $ 25.32) per share. The holder of the warrant also had the option to put the warrant to the Company for $1.0 million (AUD $1.5 million) on the expiration or on the occurrence of certain events. Prior to expiration of the warrant on October 26, 2024, PFG exercised the put option. On October 31, 2024, ATL settled the warrant liability by making a $1.0 million payment to PFG. At December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance was $0.9 million.

Supplier financing arrangements

The Group utilizes supplier financing arrangements to fund insurance premiums. Under the arrangements, the settlement of the supplier obligation is paid directly by the financier. Anteris pays the financier a set amount per month over an agreed period of 10 months. These repayments are recognized as financing cash outflows. In the event that Anteris defaults on payments to the financier, the financier can cancel the related insurance.

At the time of initial recognition of the supplier financing arrangement, an asset (recognized in other assets) and a corresponding debt obligation is recognized representing both the future insurance benefits and the obligation to repay the financier respectively. The asset is subsequently expensed on a straight-line basis over the period of the insurance term. No amounts payable to the financier were outstanding at December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The roll forward of Anteris’ outstanding payment obligations to the insurance supplier under this arrangement, are as follows:

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The consolidated financial statements include financial instruments for which the fair value of such instruments may differ from the amounts reflected on a historical cost basis. Financial instruments consist of cash deposits, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt obligations. The carrying value of these financial instruments generally approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

Fair value hierarchy

The following table summarizes the Group’s financial assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three-level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value approximate their fair values.

Fair value of warrant liabilities – Level 3

As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of outstanding warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes model that incorporated a share price hurdle and a discounted cashflow methodology. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the warrant liability was fully settled for $1.0 million. The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values of the warrant liabilities (translated using prior year-end exchange rates) are detailed below.

14. EQUITY

(a) Share Capital

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (‘‘preferred stock’’).

Prior to the reverse recapitalization, ATL’s issued ordinary shares had no par value, as permitted under the Corporations Act, which also does not require companies to have authorized capital.

Stockholders of the Company hold either Common Stock or a CHESS Depositary Interest (‘‘CDI’’). CDIs confer the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock on each CDI holder, with the legal title to such securities held by an Australian depositary entity, CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Limited (the ‘‘Depositary Nominee’’), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASX Limited, being the operator of the ASX. The Depositary Nominee will be the registered holder of those shares of our Common Stock held for the benefit of the holders of CDIs.

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were outstanding stock options, RSUs and warrants for the purchase of 6,797,806 and 6,075,996 shares, respectively, which were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share given that the potential shares are anti-dilutive. Details of the terms and conditions of these instruments are disclosed in notes 14 Equity and 16 Stock-based Compensation .

Details of the issues of Common Stock that occurred since reporting date are included in note 25 Subsequent Events .

16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On December 16, 2024, contemporaneously with implementation of the Scheme (refer note 1 Description of Business ), ATL amended all existing options it had on issue to be options to acquire Common Stock pursuant to a scheme of arrangement between ATL and its option holders (the ‘‘Option Scheme’’). Upon amendment of the options, the exercise prices, base prices and share price hurdles of all stock-based compensation instruments outstanding (primarily those held by non-Australian employees and directors) were converted to U.S. dollars using the spot rate of $0.6367 to AUD $1.00. The amendment was structured as an exchange of equivalent awards, so that holders remained in the same economic position with unchanged vesting conditions and terms following the recapitalization. Since the amendment did not change the fair value, vesting conditions, or other terms of the awards, it was not treated as a modification under ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation, and no incremental compensation expense was recognized.

In connection with the reverse recapitalization, the Company has adopted the ATGC Equity Incentive Plan (the ‘‘Equity Plan’’) for purposes of granting options in the Company and other awards based on the shares of the Company to employees and other service providers of the Company. Stock awards, including restricted stock, RSUs, cash incentive awards, performance shares, PSUs, and other equity-based awards may be granted under the Equity Plan. No further grants will be made under the incentive plans previously established by ATL.

Number of Authorized Shares

Initially, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards granted under the Equity Plan will not exceed, in the aggregate, 5,163,023 shares of Common Stock (the ‘‘Share Limit’’). The Share Limit will be increased by 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis on the last day of the preceding fiscal year on the first day of each fiscal year, for a

109

ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)

period of ten years commencing in the first fiscal year following the effective date of the Equity Plan, provided, however, that the Board may act prior to the first day of a given fiscal year to provide that the increase for such fiscal year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock actually issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of incentive stock options will not exceed 4,312,777 shares of Common Stock, which limit will increase by 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the IPO, for a period of ten years commencing in the first fiscal year following the effective date of the Equity Plan.

The maximum number of shares subject to awards granted on or following the effective date during a single calendar year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such nonemployee director during the fiscal year, may not exceed $0.75 million in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the fair value of such awards as of their approval effectiveness date); provided, that such calendar year limit shall be $1 million for (i) the non-executive chair of our Board and (ii) a new non-employee director during his or her first year of service on our Board.

In the event of certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, the administrator of the Equity Plan will adjust the number and kind of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Equity Plan and all awards shall be adjusted as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines is equitably required. Except in specific circumstances, shares subject to an award under the Equity Plan that are cancelled, forfeited, expire, or become un-exercisable without having been exercised in full will be available for subsequent awards under the Equity Plan. Shares withheld in payment of the exercise price of an option or withholding taxes related to an award will be returned to the Share Limit for future grants of awards under the Equity Plan and will not reduce the Share Limit.

Any references in the Equity Plan and this summary to ‘‘shares of Common Stock’’ may be read as a reference to a CDI or shares of Common Stock as the context reasonably requires, unless the contrary intention is expressly stated in the Equity Plan.

  • Options are unlisted and not transferable unless the Directors in their absolute discretion agree to a transfer;

  • Options carry no dividend rights or voting rights; and

  • If a change of control event occurs prior to the vesting of an award, then the Board may, determine in its absolute discretion the treatment of the participant’s unvested awards and the timing of such treatment.

16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)

The above director stock options expire after 5 years and vest in three tranches on the completion of at least 12, 24 and 36 months of service commencing from the date of issue. These options were not awarded as part of the existing 2020 EIP. There were no performance conditions attached to the director options issued. These options were valued using the Black-Scholes model.

Modification of director options

On February 17, 2023, in relation to options issued in the 2020 year, the Board exercised their discretion to extend the period to achieve the share price hurdle, by an additional 12 months, from March 19, 2023 to March 19, 2024. The incremental fair value of these options was $6.18 per option, resulting in an increased fair value of $0.9 million. The value was expensed at the date of the modification.

Consultant options

No options were issued to consultants during the year ended December 31, 2024. On February 15, 2023, ATL granted 500,000 options as consideration for lead manager services and underwriting services provided, with the value of the issues being recognized as an equity transaction cost.

(d) Share Price Performance Rights (Cash-settled)

The Share Price Performance Plan (‘‘SPP’’) provides employees with the right to receive cash payments calculated by considering the rise in Anteris’ share price from the base price specified at grant date. The SPP rights expire after 5 years. There are two types of arrangements:

  • Service based conditions: employees have the right to receive cash payments after 1, 2 and 3 years from the grant date subject to the holder still being employed by the Group. The cash payments are calculated by considering the rise in Anteris’ share price from the base price specified at grant date (as amended per below) to the vesting date.

  • Service and performance conditions: the SPP rights are divided into three equal tranches which vest and become exercisable on the earlier of the achievement of specified share price hurdles and the completion of 3 years of service. The cash payments are calculated by considering the rise in Anteris’ share price from the base price specified at grant date (as amended per below) to the exercise date.

The base prices and share price hurdles were converted to U.S. dollars in connection with the Scheme to ensure that holders retained the value of their outstanding SPP Units both immediately before and after the reverse recapitalization. All other vesting terms and conditions remained unchanged.

The following table summarizes the SPP rights activity during the year:

As of December 31, 2024, there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested SPP rights outstanding. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

(e) RSU

The fair value of the RSUs is based on the market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. RSUs vest over 3 years with the compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, being recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards. RSUs are not considered issued or outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Dividend equivalent units are accumulated on RSUs during the vesting period and are subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the underlying RSUs.

As of December 31, 2024, there was $4.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSU arrangements granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

On December 16, 2024, in connection with the IPO, the Board, approved the grant of RSUs with the following target fair values as of the date of the pricing of the IPO, each of which are subject to approval by stockholders in accordance with the rules of the ASX. Each grant of RSUs will vest annually over a three-year period:

  • Chief Executive Officer: $6 million

  • Non-executive Chair: $0.5 million

  • Non-employee directors: $0.25 million

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not recognized any stock-based compensation expense for the director’s RSUs, as the grant date has not been established under ASC 718.

(f) Fair Value Disclosures

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of stock options and SPP rights at the grant date. The fair value of stock options under the Black-Scholes model requires management to make assumptions regarding projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option

17. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

At each reporting period, the Company reassesses whether it remains the primary beneficiary for VIEs consolidated under the VIE model.

On April 18, 2023, the Group entered into a series of agreements with v2v to develop an innovative heart valve repair device for the minimally invasive treatment of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. As part of the binding agreements, the Group acquired 30% interest in v2v for consideration of $0.2 million, with the remaining 70% retained by the sellers. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805 Business Combinations , as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired were concentrated in a single identifiable in-process research and development (‘‘IPR&D’’) asset. In accordance with the accounting for asset acquisitions, an entity that acquires identifiable IPR&D assets in an asset acquisition follows the guidance in ASC 730 Research and Development , which requires that both tangible and intangible identifiable research and development assets with no alternative future use be allocated a portion of the consideration transferred and recorded as research and development expense at the acquisition date. The Company provides non-reciprocal contributions to fund research and development.

Pursuant to the guidance under ASC 810, the Company determined that v2v is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of v2v. This determination is based on the Company having both power over the most significant activities of v2v, primarily through appointing and holding a majority of the Board and certain benefits through equity ownership. Therefore, the Company consolidated v2v from the acquisition date of its equity interest.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities for VIE:

Included in other current liabilities is a loan from v2v’s parent entity amounting to $0.02 million as of December 31, 2024, and $0.02 million as of December 31, 2023. This loan has been provided to support v2v’s working capital needs. It is unsecured and repayable on demand. This balance is eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. v2v is wholly financed by the Group. The Group contributed $2.4 million to v2v to finance its operations during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent company. The Group uses the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (‘‘HLBV’’) approach to measure the non-controlling interests. Under HLBV, the non-controlling interests are calculated as the amount that would be paid to non-controlling interest holders upon a hypothetical liquidation of the entity at book value as of the reporting date.

(b) Legal parent entity

The legal parent entity within the Group is ATGC.

(c) Subsidiaries

The Company may provide letters of support to its subsidiary companies when required.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Group acquired an initial 30% stake in v2v, to develop minimally invasive treatment of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. v2v has been recognized as a subsidiary (refer note 17 Variable Interest Entity ). There have been no other changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2024.

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of December 31, 2024 the Group had commitments to purchase $0.3 million of plant and equipment, as compared to no commitments at December 31, 2023.

Anteris is involved in various ongoing proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings related to product, labor, intellectual property and other matters.

Contingent liabilities

The Group records a liability in the consolidated financial statements on an undiscounted basis for loss contingencies related to legal actions when a loss is considered probable, and the amount may be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other,

the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible but not probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required. Estimates of probable losses resulting from litigation and governmental proceedings involving the Company are inherently difficult to predict, particularly when the matters are in early procedural stages with incomplete scientific facts or legal discovery, involve unsubstantiated or indeterminate claims for damages, potentially involve penalties, fines or punitive damages, or could result in a change in business practice.

21. SEGMENT REPORTING

(a) Description of segments

Segment information is presented using a management approach, meaning that segment information is provided on the same basis as information is used for internal reporting purposes by the CODM which is the Vice Chairman and CEO, who makes key strategic decisions. The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources and assessing the performance of the Group. Management has determined that the activities of the business as reviewed by the CODM are one segment, being the development and commercialization of the ADAPT[®] anti-calcification tissue. This is focused on the DurAVR[®] THV system.

(b) Segment information

The revenue and cost information relating to all of the ADAPT[®] products including both the DurAVR[®] THV system and regenerative tissue products are regularly reviewed by the CODM on an aggregate basis.

The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and key components and processes of the Company’s operations are managed centrally. Segment asset information is not used by the CODM to allocate resources. As a single reportable segment entity, the Company’s segment performance measure is net income / (loss).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

24. ASIC RELIEF FOR ATL

Australian Securities Investments Commission (‘‘ASIC’’) has granted ATL relief from the requirement to prepare a financial report and directors’ report for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 by issuing ASIC Instrument 25-0066 (the ‘‘Relief Instrument’’). ATL obtained the financial reporting relief under the Relief Instrument because, during the financial year ended December 31, 2024, ATL was a ‘‘disclosing entity’’ and therefore would otherwise not be eligible for relief under the ASIC Corporations (Wholly-owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785). The effect of the Relief Instrument is that subject to various conditions, including compliance with the conditions of the ASIC Corporations (Wholly-owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785) (other than the requirement in relation to ‘‘disclosing entities’’), and certain other additional conditions as set out in the Relief Instrument, ATL is relieved from the requirement to prepare a financial report and directors’ report for the financial year ended December 31, 2024.

As detailed in note 2(y) Reverse recapitalization, when ATGC acquired ATL, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. The substance of the transaction was that the pre-transaction shareholders of ATL (the accounting acquirer) had effectively obtained control of ATGC. The effect of this is that the consolidated financial statements of ATL are equivalent to the consolidated financial statements of ATGC.

A consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and movements in retained earnings and reserves, comprising ATL and its controlled entities for the year ended December 31, 2024 is set out as follows:

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, solely as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There are no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control financial reporting.

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our management and our independent auditors identified material weaknesses in the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which remained unremediated as of December 31, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses identified by our management and our independent auditors relate to (i) a lack of appropriately designed, implemented and documented procedures and controls, and (ii) deficiencies in the segregation of duties.

To remediate these material weaknesses, we are in the process of implementing measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including supplementing automated controls with additional manual controls and documentation thereof. We have an active project to complete documentation of our entity-level and key financial reporting processes and controls. This includes the preparation and review of account reconciliations, journal entries and information technology systems. In addition, we are undertaking a review of segregation of duties across financial reporting streams.

The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until management completes the design and implementation of the measures described above and the controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. These remediation measures will be time consuming and require financial and operational resources. If one or both of these material weaknesses are not remediated, they could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that might not be prevented or detected.

While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the design and implementation of our remediation is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as audit committee oversight. We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness.

Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm

This Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to an exemption established by the JOBS Act for ‘‘emerging growth companies.’’

Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, 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 is also 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 the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Jurisdiction of Incorporation and Restrictions on the Acquisition of Securities

The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware in the United States of America. As a foreign company registered in Australia, the Company is not subject to Chapters 6, 6A, 6B and 6C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) dealing with the acquisition of its shares (including substantial holdings and takeovers).

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the ‘‘DGCL’’), our Common Stock are generally freely transferable, subject to restrictions that may be imposed by United States federal or state securities laws, by our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the ‘‘Certificate of Incorporation’’) or Amended and Restated Bylaws (the ‘‘Bylaws’’) or by an agreement binding on our stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws do not impose any specific restrictions on the transfer of our Common Stock. Transfers of the Common Stock will be made only on the transfer books or by a transfer agent designated to transfer the Common Stock. Provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer (takeover), a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions could discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our Board may consider inadequate and encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our Company to first negotiate with the Board.

Australian Corporate Governance Statement

The Board and our management are committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance. We have reviewed our corporate governance practices against the ‘‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations’’ (4th edition) published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. Our Corporate Governance Statement sets out the ASX Governance Recommendations and the Company’s response as to how and whether we follow those recommendations.

The Corporate Governance Statement reflects our corporate governance practices in place throughout the financial year. A description of the Group’s current corporate governance practices is set out in our Corporate Governance Statement, which can be viewed at https://anteristech.com/investors/corporate-governance.html .

Our most recent Corporate Governance Statement, dated March 12, 2025 and approved by the Board remains accurate as of the date of this Form 10-K. The Corporate Governance Statement is not incorporated by reference herein.

Voting Rights

Except as otherwise required by law, as provided in our Certificate of Incorporation or as provided in resolutions, if any, adopted by the Board with respect to any series of the preferred stock, the holders of our Common Stock (including CDIs) will exclusively possess all voting power. Each holder of shares of Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held by such holder. Our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the voting shares are able to elect all of the directors.

Holders of CDIs are entitled to receive notice of, and to attend as guests (but not vote at) meetings of stockholders. The Depositary Nominee (or its custodian) is the legal holder of the shares of Common Stock underlying the CDIs. However, as the beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock underlying the CDIs, holders of CDIs may:

  • direct the Depositary Nominee (or its custodian) how to vote the shares of Common Stock represented by their CDIs by completing the CDI Voting Instruction Form that accompanies the relevant notice of meeting or proxy statement; or

  • appoint themselves (or another person) to be the Depositary Nominee’s proxy with respect to the shares of Common Stock represented by their CDIs for the purposes of attending and voting at the stockholders meeting by completing the CDI Voting Instruction Form that accompanies the relevant notice of meeting or proxy statement.

Alternatively, holders of CDIs may elect to convert their CDIs into Common Stock and vote those shares of Common Stock at a stockholders meeting. Such conversion must be completed prior to the record date fixed by us for determining the entitlement of stockholders to attend and vote at the stockholders meeting.

Unquoted options convert into a fixed number of shares of Common Stock or CDIs on a variety of dates. Each option has a set exercise price and expiry date. Holders of unquoted options are not entitled to vote at our annual or special meetings of stockholders.

129

RSUs convert into a fixed number of shares of Common Stock or CDIs upon completion of vesting conditions. RSUs are cancelled if vesting conditions are not satisfied. Holders of RSUs are not entitled to vote at our annual or special meetings of stockholders.

Twenty Largest Holders as of January 31, 2025

Below is a statement of the 20 largest holders of shares of Common Stock and CDI holders, the number and percentage of shares of Common Stock held by those holders, and the percentage of shares of Common Stock (including that are held as both Common Stock or CDIs), based on the Company’s registers at January 31, 2025.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (the ‘‘Company’’, ‘‘Anteris’’ or ‘‘ATGC’’) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this ‘‘Amendment’’) to amend our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’) on March 12, 2025 (the ‘‘Original Filing’’). We are filing this Amendment for the purpose of including information required by Part III of Form 10-K as discussed further below. This information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in Part III to be incorporated in Form 10-K by reference to our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after the end of our fiscal year . Our definitive proxy statement for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will not be filed within 120 days of December 31, 2024. The inclusion of the definitive proxy statement on the cover page of the Original Filing as a document incorporated by reference has been deleted. This Amendment amends and restates in their entirety Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of the Original Filing.

As required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing has been amended to add currently dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The currently dated certifications are attached hereto as Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4. Because no financial statements are contained in this Amendment, and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Because no financial statements are contained in this Amendment, we are not including certifications pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1350.

Except as set forth in Parts III and IV below and the change to the cover page expressly described above, no other changes are being made to the Original Filing. Unless expressly stated, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing, nor does it modify or update in any way the disclosures contained in the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read together with our Original Filing and our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

PART III

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

Initial Public Offering and Reorganization Transactions

Prior to the consummation of our U.S. initial public offering (the ‘‘IPO’’), we completed a series of reorganization transactions (the ‘‘Reorganization’’) pursuant to which we received all of the issued and outstanding shares of Anteris Technologies Ltd (‘‘ATL’’), which was formerly an Australian public company originally registered in Western Australia, Australia and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (‘‘ASX’’), pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Australian law between ATL and its shareholders (the ‘‘Scheme’’) under Part 5.1 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the ‘‘Corporations Act’’). Contemporaneously with implementation of the Scheme, ATL also cancelled all existing options it has on issue in exchange for our company issuing replacement options to acquire Common Stock pursuant to a scheme of arrangement between ATL and its optionholders (the ‘‘Option Scheme’’) under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act. The Scheme was approved by ATL’s shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders, which was held on December 3, 2024. The Option Scheme was approved by ATL’s optionholders at a general meeting of optionholders held on the same day. ATL obtained approval of the Scheme and the Option Scheme by the Supreme Court of Queensland on December 4, 2024. As a result of the Reorganization, ATL became a wholly owned subsidiary of our company and the shareholders of ATL immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO became holders of either one share of Common Stock for every ordinary share of ATL or one CDI for every one ordinary share of ATL for each share held as of the record date.

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors (our ‘‘Board’’) oversees the management of the business and affairs of the Company and serves as the ultimate decision-making body of the Company, except for those matters reserved to our stockholders. Our Board oversees the Company’s management team, to whom it has delegated responsibility for the Company’s day-to-day operations. While our Board’s oversight role is broad and may concentrate on different areas from time to time, its primary areas of focus are strategy, oversight, governance and compliance, as well as assessing management.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the ‘‘Charter’’) and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the ‘‘Bylaws’’) provide for a classified board of directors. There are three classes of directors, with each class of directors serving three-year terms that end in successive years. We currently have authorized five directors. Our Charter and Bylaws do not limit the number of terms a member may be re-elected as a director. The following table provides the names, ages and positions of our directors as of April 28, 2025.

Our directors bring a range of skills and experience in relevant areas, including finance strategy, marketing, Biomedical Technology, global health care, public company director experience, corporate finance and capital investment and global/international corporate experience. We believe this cross-section of capabilities enables our Board of Directors (the ‘‘Board’’) to help guide our objectives and leading corporate governance practices. More detailed biographical descriptions of each director is set forth below.

John Seaberg

John Seaberg has been Chairman of our Board since March 2017 and a director since October 2014, in each case taking into account positions held with ATL. Additionally, Mr. Seaberg has been serving as Board Chair of Preceptis Medical Inc since 2016 and Phraxis Medical Inc since 2009. He was Executive VP at Cedar Point Capital, a broker-dealer focused on healthcare investment, from June 2015 through December 31, 2023. From 2008 until 2012, Mr. Seaberg was Chair of Synovis Inc., a NASDAQ-listed manufacturer of various medical device and bioscaffold tissue products which was acquired by Baxter, and, from 2007 until 2014, was Co-Founder, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of NeoChord Inc., a company commercializing technology developed at the Mayo Clinic for repair of the mitral valve via minimally invasive techniques. From 1996 to 2006, Mr. Seaberg served at Guidant Corp. (subsequently acquired by Boston Scientific Corp.) where he held various executive level positions, including Director of Marketing for Cardiac Rhythm Management, Vice President of Sales for Cardiac Surgery and Vice President of Sales for Cardiac Rhythm Management. In addition, Mr. Seaberg was co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACIST Medical, from 1991 to 1995. Mr. Seaberg holds a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communications from the University of Minnesota and an MBA from the Carlson School of Management, also at the University of Minnesota. We believe that Mr. Seaberg’s qualifications to serve as a director include his extensive finance, leadership and industry experience and his tenure as a director of the Company.

Stephen Denaro

Stephen Denaro has been a director since October 2018, taking into account Mr. Denaro’s director position with ATL. Mr. Denaro also serves as ATL’s Secretary, a position he has held since 2018. Mr. Denaro has been providing company secretarial services to other ASX-listed companies since 1994, and serves as a director and sole shareholder of Trio Business Intermediaries Pty Ltd, a business consulting company, specializing in restructuring, corporate governance, directorship and company secretarial services, through which he provides these and other services. Mr.Denaro has over 25 years of experience in mergers and acquisitions, business valuations, accountancy services, and income tax compliance gained from positions as Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer of various public companies and with major chartered accountancy firms in Australia and the United Kingdom. Mr. Denaro has a Bachelor of Business in Accountancy and a Graduate Diploma in Applied Corporate Governance, and he is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia & New Zealand, and the Australian Institute of Company Directors. We believe that Mr. Denaro’s qualifications to serve as a director include his finance and business experience and his experience with ASX-listed companies, including his tenure as Corporate Secretary of ATL and a director of the Company.

David St Denis

David St Denis has served as the Company’s President and as a director since March 2025. Prior to that, Mr. St Denis served as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer since July 2017, taking into account his position with ATL. In addition, Mr. St Denis has served as the Chief Executive Officer of v2vmedtech, which we consider to be a VIE and consolidate in our financial statements, since April 2023. Mr. St Denis also served as Chief Financial Officer of v2vmedtech from April 2023 to September 2023. Prior to his appointment as Chief Operating Officer of the Company, Mr. St Denis served as Head of Commercial Operations for Europe and Canada at Merck since 2013, and prior to that, served as Head of Operations for Emerging Markets at Merck since 2008. In addition, Mr. St Denis had held multiple leadership roles at Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc, now Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, from 1996 to 2006, and provided strategic consulting services to such company from 2006 to 2008. Mr. St Denis has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Connecticut, a Master of Arts from Boston University and an MBA in Global Management and International Marketing from Babson College -

3

Franklin W. Olin Graduate School of Business. We believe that Mr. St Denis’ qualifications to serve as a director include his business experience within the industry in which the Company operates, including as the Company’s President.

Wayne Paterson

Wayne Paterson joined the Company in October 2014 as a Non-Employee Director (as defined below), served as the Chair from February 2016 to March 2017, served as the interim Chief Executive Officer commencing in May 2016, has served as the Chief Executive Officer since March 2017, in each case taking into account positions held with ATL, and has served as the Vice Chairman of our Board since March 2025. Mr. Paterson commenced service as Chair of v2vmedtech, which we consider to be a VIE and consolidate in our financial statements, in April 2023. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Paterson held senior positions at Merck KGaA (‘‘Merck’’), a multinational science and technology company, from 2005 to 2013, including as President of Europe, Canada and Australia, President of Emerging Markets, President of Japan and President of Cardiovascular Medicine. From 1999 until 2005, Mr. Paterson served at Roche Pharmaceuticals, a multinational healthcare company, in several senior positions, including as Head of Pharmaceuticals in Roche’s South Korean operation and Head of Commercial Operations for Roche China. Mr. Paterson holds an MBA from the University of Southern Queensland and a degree in Business Studies from the Queensland University of Technology. Mr. Paterson previously served as a director of Cepheid Inc (NASDAQ:CHPD) from April 2015 to November 2016. We believe Mr. Paterson’s qualifications to serve as a director include his service as our Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as his insight into the business and related risks and challenges facing the Company will contribute to our Board and in its understanding of our business and strategy.

Dr. Wenyi Gu

Dr. Wenyi Gu has been a director since October 2018, taking into account his position with ATL. Dr. Gu is currently guest professor with several Chinese institutes and universities. Since January 2017, Dr. Gu has been working as a Research Fellow for the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology at the University of Queensland. In addition, from April 2021 to March 2023, Dr. Gu was the Chief Scientific Officer of Guangzhou Gillion Biotherapeutics Ltd, a biotechnology company. From 2006 to 2009, he held a Peter Doherty Fellowship and was supported by the National Health and Medical Research Council to work at Harvard Medical School as a visiting research fellow Dr Gu holds a master’s degree in veterinary science and completed his PhD study in biochemistry and molecular biology at Australian National University and later worked at John Curtin Medical School. We believe that Dr. Gu’s qualifications to serve as a director include his extensive industry experience and his tenure as a director of the Company.

Director Independence

Our Board currently consists of five members. Our Board has determined that Mr. Seaberg and Dr. Gu qualify as independent directors in accordance with the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules (the ‘‘NASDAQ Listing Rules’’). Our Board has further determined that Mr. Seaberg and Dr. Gu qualify as independent directors under NASDAQ Listing Rules applicable to membership on our Audit and Risk Committee. In addition, our Board has determined that each of the members of our Audit and Risk Committee is ‘‘financially literate’’ pursuant to the NASDAQ Listing Rules, and that Mr. Denaro is an ‘‘audit committee financial expert,’’ as defined in applicable SEC rules, because of his individual extensive financial experience. Mr. Paterson and Mr. St Denis are not considered independent by virtue of their positions as Chief Executive Officer and President (former Chief Operating Officer) respectively, of the company. Mr. Denaro is not considered independent by virtue of his past position as Company Secretary of ATL.

Under applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules, all committee members must satisfy the applicable NASDAQ independence requirements within one year of the listing of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (‘‘Common Stock’’), on The Nasdaq Global Market (‘‘NASDAQ’’). In addition, a majority of the directors serving on our Board will be required to be independent within one year of the listing of our Common Stock on NASDAQ.

Board Committees

Our Board has three standing committees: the Audit and Risk Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each committee is governed by a charter that is available on our website at https://anteristech.com/investors/corporate-governance.html.

4

Audit and Risk Committee

The members of our Audit and Risk Committee consist of Mr. Seaberg, Dr. Gu and Mr. Denaro. Mr. Denaro is the chairperson of our Audit and Risk Committee. Two of the three members of our Audit and Risk Committee meet the requirements for independence under the current NASDAQ Listing Rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Each member of our Audit and Risk Committee is ‘‘financially literate’’ under NASDAQ Listing Rules. Under applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules, all members must satisfy the applicable requirements for independence within one year of the listing of our Common Stock on NASDAQ. In addition, our Board has determined that Mr. Denaro is an ‘‘audit committee financial expert’’ within the meaning of the SEC’s rules and regulations. This designation does not impose on such director any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on members of our Audit and Risk Committee and our Board. Our Audit and Risk Committee is directly responsible for, among other things:

  • appointing, retaining, compensating and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm;

  • assessing the independence and performance of the independent registered public accounting firm;

  • reviewing with our independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of the firm’s annual audit of our financial statements;

  • reviewing our accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and accounting controls, as well as compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

  • reviewing, overseeing, approving, or disapproving any related-person and related-party transactions;

  • reviewing with our management the scope and results of management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, including the related certifications to be included in the periodic reports we will file with the SEC;

  • establishing procedures for the confidential anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls, or auditing matters, or other ethics or compliance issues;

  • reviewing reports from our management and our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of the internal control, risk management systems and management of material business risks;

  • establishing and reviewing our risk management framework, including the risk profile developed by our management covering material risks to our business;

  • reviewing and assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls, policies, programs, guidelines and procedures making up our risk management framework and reporting systems, including in light of any material breakdowns and reports from our management on new or emerging sources of risk; and

  • reviewing with our management and recommending to our Board additional or material amendments to our risk management reporting and governance policies.

5

Compensation Committee

The members of our Compensation Committee consist of Mr. Denaro, Dr. Gu and Mr. Seaberg. Mr. Seaberg is the chairperson of our Compensation Committee. Each of Mr. Seaberg and Dr. Gu is a non-employee director, as defined by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and meets the requirements for independence under the current NASDAQ Listing Rules. Under applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules, all members must satisfy the applicable requirements for independence within one year of the listing of our Common Stock on NASDAQ. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

  • reviewing and approving the compensation of our executive officers, including reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation;

  • administering our equity incentive plans;

  • reviewing and approving, or making recommendations to our Board with respect to, incentive compensation and equity plans;

  • reviewing and recommending that our Board approve the compensation for our non-employee board members; and

  • establishing and reviewing general policies relating to compensation and benefits of our employees.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consist of Mr. Denaro, Dr. Gu and Mr. Seaberg. Mr. Seaberg is the chairperson of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Mr. Seaberg and Dr. Gu meet the requirements for independence under the current NASDAQ Listing Rules. Under applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules, all members must satisfy the applicable requirements for independence within one year of the listing of our Common Stock on NASDAQ. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:

  • identifying and recommending candidates for membership on our Board, including the consideration of nominees submitted by stockholders, and on each of our Boards’ committees;

  • reviewing and recommending our corporate governance guidelines and policies;

  • reviewing proposed waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors and executive officers;

  • overseeing the process of evaluating the performance of our Board; and

  • assisting our Board on corporate governance matters.

Process for Nominating Potential Director Candidates

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening and interviewing individuals qualified to become members of our Board and recommending qualified candidates for election by the stockholders consistent with the criteria set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. In recommending nominees for director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates who have a high level of personal and professional integrity, strong ethics and values and the ability to make mature business judgments. Additional criteria that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board may consider are:

  • the candidate’s experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company;

  • the candidate’s experience as a board member of another publicly held company, including those dual-listed in the United States and Australia;

  • the candidate’s professional and academic experience relevant to the Company’s industry;

  • the strength of the candidate’s leadership skills;

  • the candidate’s experience in finance and accounting and/or executive compensation practices;

6

  • whether the candidate has the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at Board meetings and committee meetings, if applicable; and

  • the viewpoints, background, experience and other characteristics.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers all candidates equally. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the background and qualifications of each nominee to ensure that our Board has the requisite expertise and that its membership consists of persons with sufficiently diverse and independent backgrounds (taking into account the enhanced independence, financial literacy and financial expertise standards that may be required under law, NASDAQ rules or the ASX rules).

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee values the input of stockholders in identifying director candidates. Accordingly, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a specific policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers recommendations for Board candidates submitted by stockholders using substantially the same criteria as it applies to recommendations from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, directors and members of management. Any such nominations should be submitted to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in compliance with the procedural requirements set forth in our Bylaws.

Board Leadership Structure

The current Chairman of our Board is John Seaberg, who is an independent director under the NASDAQ Listing Rules and for the purposes of the 4[th] Edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. The roles of Chairman of our Board and Chief Executive Officer are separate. Our Board believes that the separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus primarily on our business strategy, operations, and corporate vision.

Risk Oversight

While management is responsible for assessing and managing risks to the Company on a day-to-day basis, our Board oversees management’s efforts to assess and manage risk. Our Board (in conjunction particularly with the Audit and Risk Committee) monitors and receives advice on areas of operational and financial risk and considers strategies for appropriate risk management arrangements. Specific areas of risk which are periodically considered at meetings of our Board include financial management, information technology, people and culture, intellectual property, regulatory (medical), legal, manufacturing, legal and organizational transformation. Additional areas of focus for our Board include, but are not limited to:

  • managing the Company’s long-term growth;

  • strategic and operational planning, including significant acquisitions and the evaluation of the Company’s capital structure; and

  • legal and regulatory compliance.

More broadly, risks are considered in virtually every business decision and process and as part of the Company’s overall business strategy. While our Board has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the Company’s risk management policies and processes, the committees of our Board also have responsibility for risk oversight. As noted above, the Company’s Audit and Risk Committee assists our Board in overseeing our risk assessment and management processes related to, among other things, our financial reports and record-keeping, financial risk exposures, and cybersecurity risk, and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our compensation policies and practices, including policies providing for the recovery of incentive or equity-based compensation and limiting hedging activities related to Company stock. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for risk oversight associated with corporate governance practices, the composition of our Board and its committees, and environmental, social and governance matters.

Our Board stays informed of each committee’s risk oversight and other activities via regular reports of the committee chairs to the full Board. Our Board’s role in risk oversight is consistent with the Company’s leadership structure, with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company’s risk exposure, and our Board and committees providing oversight in connection with those efforts.

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

The operation of our business depends on our information technology systems. We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage sales and marketing data, accounting and financial functions, inventory management, product development tasks, clinical data, customer service and technical support functions. Our information technology infrastructure and products are vulnerable to cyber-based attacks. Cyber-based attacks can include computer viruses, denial-of-service attacks, phishing attacks, ransomware attacks and other introduction of malware to computers and networks; unauthorized access through the use of compromised credentials; exploitation of design flaws, bugs or security vulnerabilities; intentional or unintentional acts by employees or other insiders with access privileges; and intentional acts of vandalism by third parties and sabotage.

We have developed and implemented a risk-based program focused on cybersecurity measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information.

Our cybersecurity risk management is integrated into our overall risk management framework, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas.

The Audit and Risk Committee periodically reviews and discusses with management the Company’s policies and internal controls with respect to cybersecurity. Our Senior Group Technology Manager (‘‘SGTM’’) (who has over 20 years of experience in information technology roles and holds various industry certifications) reports to the Chief Financial Officer and together report to the Audit and Risk Committee periodically on cyber security matters. The Audit and Risk Committee reports through to our Board.

In addition to the annual security assessment and penetration test, the SGTM utilizes an Endpoint Detection and Response system which acts as Anti-virus and intrusion prevention system and reports all abnormalities to the SGTM. Essential Eight and Center for Internet Security Control Strategies including patch applications, multi-factor authentication, administrative privileges, application hardening and backups are performed internally via a security consultant with regular updates provided to the SGTM. Reported findings and action items are recorded and assigned to personnel for action.

Any failure to protect our information technology infrastructure and our products against cyber-based attacks, network security breaches, service interruptions or data corruption could materially disrupt our operations and harm our business.

Our cybersecurity risk management program includes:

  • periodic risk assessments;

  • annual security assessment and penetration testing;

  • A third-party Security Operations Center (‘‘SOC’’) partner to monitor, manage and respond to cybersecurity incidents;

  • the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;

  • a cyber risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors that have access to our critical systems and information managed through the selection of typically larger well-known providers, which is supplemented by review of contractual arrangements, insurance and information requests;

  • cybersecurity awareness training and phishing campaigns for specific employee groups;

  • disaster recovery plans/procedures;

  • access control and CCTV systems (where appropriate) for the physical protection of Anteris systems; and

  • incident response and recovery procedures, for cybersecurity incidents.

We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

Board and Committee Meetings and Attendance

Directors are expected to make every effort to attend all meetings of our Board and all meetings of the committees on which they serve. During fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, our Board (which, for purposes of this sentence, includes the board of directors of ATL prior to the Reorganization) had 14 Board meetings, our Audit and Risk Committee had 7 meetings, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee had no meetings and our Compensation Committee had 1 meeting. During such period, each member of our Board attended at least 100% of all Board and relevant committee meetings held during the period in which such director served.

Additional Board Information

Each committee is at all times authorized under its charter to have direct, independent and confidential access to our other directors, management and personnel to carry out the committee’s purposes. Each committee is authorized to conduct or authorize investigations into any matters relating to the purposes, duties or responsibilities of the committee.

Each committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of legal counsel, compensation or other consultants and other advisers. We must provide for appropriate funding, as determined by each committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to any legal counsel, compensation or other consultant or other adviser retained by the committee.

Corporate Governance Matters

Our Board believes sound corporate governance processes and practices, as well as high ethical standards, are critical to handling challenges and to achieving business success. We embrace leading governance practices and also conduct ongoing reviews of our governance structure and processes to reflect stockholder input and changing circumstances. Below are highlights of our corporate governance practices and principles.

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that outline our corporate governance policies and practices, which is available on our website at https://anteristech.com/investors/corporate-governance.html.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all our directors, officers and employees, and is available on our website at https://anteristech.com/investors/corporate-governance.html.

The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for overseeing the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and must approve any waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for executive officers and directors. We expect that any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or any waivers of its requirements with respect to our executive officers and directors, will be disclosed on our website.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, our Non-Employee Directors (as defined below), Messrs. Seaberg and Denaro and Dr. Gu, each served as a member of the Compensation Committee. Other than Mr. Denaro, no member of the Compensation Committee has served as one of our officers or employees at any time. None of our executive officers serve, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of our Board or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee.

Insider Trading and Securities Dealing Policy

We have adopted an Insider Trading and Securities Dealing Policy, which promotes compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations and the NASDAQ Listing Rules. Additionally, the policy prohibits officers, directors, and employees from engaging in short sales, publicly-traded options, or hedging transactions such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds or through other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our securities. Our officers, directors, and employees are also prohibited from including our securities in a margin account or pledging our securities as collateral for a loan.

Stockholder Communications

Any stockholder or other interested party who wishes to communicate with our Board or any individual director may send written communications to our Board or such director, care of Anteris Technologies Global Corp., Toowong Tower, Level 3, Suite 302, 9 Sherwood Road, Toowong QLD 4066, Australia, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Our Corporate Secretary shall initially review and compile all such communications and may summarize such communications prior to forwarding to the appropriate party. Our Corporate Secretary will not forward communications that are not relevant to the duties and responsibilities of our Board. Our Board will generally respond, or cause us to respond, in writing to bona fide communications from stockholders addressed to one or more members of our Board.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

The rules of the SEC require that the Company disclose late filings of reports of stock ownership (and changes in stock ownership) by its directors, executive officers, and beneficial owners of more than ten percent of the Company’s stock. The Company has undertaken responsibility for preparing and filing the stock ownership forms required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, on behalf of its officers and directors. Based upon a review of forms filed and information provided by the Company’s officers and directors, we believe that all Section 16(a) reporting requirements were met during fiscal year 2024 other than Messrs. Paterson and Seaberg, who each filed a Form 3 late.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our NEOs. The material terms of the employment agreements are described below.

Under the terms of Mr. Paterson’s revised executive employment agreement (the ‘‘Paterson Agreement’’), which became effective upon the consummation of the IPO, Mr. Paterson serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and on our Board. Mr. Paterson’s base salary is $725,000, subject to annual review by our Board for increase. Mr. Paterson is also entitled to receive an annual incentive bonus with a target opportunity of up to 100% of his base salary, a long-term incentive compensation award with a total target fair value of $6,000,000 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, and, starting with the 2026 calendar year, annual long-term incentive compensation awards with a total target grant value of $4,000,000 both of which are subject to approval by stockholders in accordance with the rules of the ASX. The Paterson Agreement may be terminated by the Company without ‘‘cause’’ or by Mr. Paterson without ‘‘good reason’’ (as each term is defined in the Paterson Agreement) upon six months’ written notice to the other party or by Mr. Paterson for ‘‘good reason’’ by

11

giving notice to the Company of the existence of a ‘‘good reason’’ trigger within sixty days of its occurrence, the Company failing to cure the trigger within the following thirty days, and Mr. Paterson terminating his employment within thirty days of the end of the cure period. If the Company terminates Mr. Paterson’s employment without ‘‘cause’’ or Mr. Paterson terminates employment for ‘‘good reason,’’ Mr. Paterson will receive the following compensation and benefits, subject to his executing and not revoking a release of claims against the Company and its affiliates: the Company will continue to pay Mr. Paterson his base salary for twelve months, Mr. Paterson will be entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of his annual bonus for the year of termination based on actual achievement of the applicable performance metrics, any outstanding equity awards that vest solely based on continuous service will be earned on a pro-rata basis, and any outstanding performance-based equity awards will be earned on a pro-rata basis, subject to the achievement of the applicable performance metrics, and the Company will reimburse Mr. Paterson for COBRA premium payments for twelve months (or until Mr. Paterson becomes eligible for coverage under another medical plan, whichever occurs first). Mr. Paterson will also be entitled to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans, programs and policies for senior executives. The Paterson Agreement includes customary non-competition, non-solicitation, intellectual property, and confidentiality provisions.

Mr. St Denis’ revised executive employment agreement (the ‘‘St Denis Agreement’’), which became effective upon the consummation of the IPO, provides for Mr. St Denis’ service as the Chief Operations Officer of the Company. Effective March 5, 2025, Mr. St Denis was appointed as our President and a member of our Board. Pursuant to the St Denis Agreement, Mr. St Denis’ base salary is $475,000, subject to annual review by the Company for increase. Mr. St Denis is also entitled to receive an annual incentive bonus with a target opportunity of up to 80% of his base salary, a long-term incentive compensation award with a total target fair value of $3,000,000 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, and, starting with the 2026 calendar year, annual long-term incentive compensation awards with a total target grant value of $2,000,000. The latter is subject to approval by stockholders in accordance with the rules of the ASX. The St Denis Agreement may be terminated by the Company without ‘‘cause’’ or by Mr. St Denis upon three months’ written notice to the other party. If the Company terminates Mr. St Denis’ employment without ‘‘cause’’, subject to Mr. St Denis executing and not revoking a release of claims against the Company and its affiliates, the Company will continue to pay Mr. St Denis his base salary for nine months and will reimburse Mr. St Denis for COBRA premium payments for nine months (or until Mr. St Denis becomes eligible for coverage under another medical plan, whichever occurs first). Mr. St Denis is also provided a cellphone and is entitled to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans, programs and policies for senior executives. The St Denis Agreement includes customary non-competition, non- solicitation, intellectual property, and confidentiality provisions.

Under the terms of Mr. McDonnell’s revised executive employment agreement (the ‘‘McDonnell Contract’’), which became effective upon the consummation of the IPO, which supersedes and replaces all prior agreements related to Mr. McDonnell’s employment, Mr. McDonnell serves as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. McDonnell’s base salary is $236,246 (AUD $380,000), converted using the spot exchange rate of approximately A$1.00 to $0.62 on December 31, 2024 and excluding superannuation. Mr. McDonnell is entitled to contributions to defined contribution plans (superannuation) at 12.0% (previously 11.5%) of the annual eligible compensation (post July 1, 2024) subject to certain contribution caps. Mr. McDonnell is also entitled to receive an annual incentive bonus of up to 60% of his base salary, a long-term incentive compensation award with a total target fair value of $500,000 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, and, starting with the 2026 calendar year, annual long-term incentive compensation awards with a total target grant value of $500,000. Either party may terminate the employment relationship generally upon three months’ written notice to the other party. The McDonnell Contract includes non-competition, non-solicitation, intellectual property, and confidentiality provisions.

Short-Term Incentive Compensation

Compensation for individuals is linked to our performance as well as the performance and contribution of the individual. Incentive payments are dependent on defined corporate and individual key performance targets being met. Incentive payments for the NEOs and for our broader company are at the discretion of our Board and the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee believes the setting of key corporate and individual key performance targets which are aligned to the corporate strategy, will drive the development, performance and position of our company. The Compensation Committee expects that this will drive increased stockholder returns going forward.

12

The NEOs’ short-term incentive (‘‘STI’’) bonus performance targets are based on a percentage of their base salaries with the actual incentive dependent on certain company and individual performance conditions being satisfied. STI opportunity targets are based on adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization), capital position target and achievement of strategic objectives. Strategic targets include measures linked to the advancement of the transcatheter aortic valve replacement program, including the early feasibility study as well as the achievement of a successful listing on NASDAQ and IPO.

The Compensation Committee reviewed each of the applicable targets and determined that they were sufficiently met. As a result, each NEO received 100% of their target STI bonus.

In recognition of Mr. Paterson’s, Mr. St Denis’ and Mr. McDonnell’s contributions to the Nasdaq listing process, our Board and Compensation Committee exercised their discretion to award exceptional cash bonuses of $125,000, $50,000 and $50,000, respectively, in addition to the STI bonuses. These amounts are included in the ‘‘Bonus’’ column in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table above.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards

The Compensation Committee approves equity awards granted to the NEOs on or before the grant date. The Compensation Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of such equity awards, which, for our CEO, are also subject to approval by our stockholders in accordance with the requirements of the ASX. We have not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. In 2024, we did not award any stock options to the NEOs during any period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or the filing or furnishing of a current report on Form 8-K disclosing material non-public information and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report with the SEC.

Executive Equity-Based Compensation

During 2024, the Company granted 300,000 options to Mr. Paterson with an exercise price of $14.64, pursuant to stockholder approval, which vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of June 19, 2024, subject to Mr. Paterson’s continued employment through each vesting date. The above quoted exercise price has been translated from AUD using the spot exchange rate on the date of the Reorganization which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.64.

In connection with our U.S. initial public offering (the ‘‘IPO’’), each NEO received an award of restricted stock units under the Equity Plan (as defined below), which vests annually over a three year period. Vesting of such awards will accelerate upon a termination of employment following a change in control. The NEOs received the following number of restricted stock units: Mr. Paterson, 1,000,000; Mr. St Denis, 500,000; and Mr. McDonnell, 83,333; Mr. Paterson’s award is subject to stockholder approval in accordance with the rules of the ASX.

Equity Compensation Plans

The Company has two historic long-term incentive plans from which no further options or awards will be issued, which were assumed by the Company in connection with the Reorganization:

  • the Admedus Ltd (now known as ‘‘n/k/a’’ ATGC) Employee Long Term Incentive Plan (the ‘‘2017 Incentive Plan’’), which was approved by stockholders in November 2017; and

  • the Employee Incentive Plan (the ‘‘2020 Incentive Plan’’).

Under each plan, certain eligible participants could receive ordinary shares, options or rights. The vesting of shares, options or rights may be subject to the satisfaction of service-based conditions and performance hurdles which, when satisfied, will allow eligible participants to receive shares or vested options or rights which are exercisable over shares or CDIs.

Anteris Technologies Global Corp. Equity Incentive Plan

The Company has adopted the Anteris Technologies Global Corp. Equity Incentive Plan (the ‘‘Equity Plan’’) for purposes of granting options in the Company and other awards based on the shares of the Company to employees and other service providers of the Company. The following is a summary of the material terms of the Equity Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Equity Plan, which was filed as exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1, filed with the SEC on December 9, 2024.

Purpose of the Equity Plan

The purpose of the Equity Plan is to permit award grants to non-employee directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and certain consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries, and to provide to such persons incentives and rewards for service and/or performance.

Administration of the Equity Plan

The Equity Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board or a subcommittee thereof (the ‘‘Administrator’’). The Administrator has the power to interpret and construe the Equity Plan and is authorized to take any action it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate, subject to the express limitations contained in the Equity Plan.

Number of Authorized Shares

The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards granted under the Equity Plan will not exceed, in the aggregate, 5,163,023 shares of Common Stock (the ‘‘Share Limit’’). The Share Limit will be increased by 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis on the last day of the preceding fiscal year on the first day of each fiscal year, for a period of ten years commencing in the first fiscal year following the effective date of the Equity Plan. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock actually issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of incentive stock options (if such awards are able to be granted) will not exceed 4,312,777 shares of Common Stock, which limit will increase by 3% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at the consummation of the IPO on the first day of each fiscal year, for a period of ten years commencing in the first fiscal year following the effective date of the Equity Plan.

The maximum number of shares subject to awards granted on or following the effective date of the Equity Plan during a single calendar year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during the fiscal year, may not exceed $750,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the fair value of such awards as of their approval effectiveness date); provided, that such calendar year limit shall be $1,000,000 for (i) the non-executive chair of our Board and (ii) a new non-employee director during his or her first year of service on our Board.

In the event of certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, the Administrator will adjust the number and kind of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Equity Plan and all awards shall be adjusted as the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines is equitably required. Except as described below, shares subject to an award under the Equity Plan that are cancelled, forfeited, expire, or become unexercisable without having been exercised in full will be available for subsequent awards under the Equity Plan. Shares withheld in payment of the exercise price of an option or withholding taxes related to an award will be returned to the Share Limit for future grants of awards under the Equity Plan and will not reduce the Share Limit.

Any references in the Equity Plan and this summary to ‘‘shares of Common Stock’’ may be read as a reference to a CHESS Depositary Interest (‘‘CDI’’) or shares of Common Stock as the context reasonably requires, unless the contrary intention is expressly stated in the Equity Plan.

Eligibility and Participation

Eligibility to participate in the Equity Plan is generally limited to employees, consultants, directors, and officers of the Company or any subsidiary. Grants of awards over CDIs may only be granted to Australian employees of the Company or a subsidiary who are not U.S. taxpayers.

14

Types of Awards under the Equity Plan

The Equity Plan authorizes the Administrator to grant awards, individually or collectively, to recipients in any of the following forms, subject to such terms, conditions and provisions as the Administrator may determine to be necessary or desirable:

  • Option rights;

  • Appreciation rights;

  • Restricted stock;

  • Restricted Stock Units (‘‘RSUs’’);

  • Cash incentive awards;

  • Performance shares;

  • Performance units (‘‘PSUs’’); and

  • Other equity-based awards.

Term of Awards

The term of each award will be determined by the Administrator and stated in the award agreement. In the case of option rights and appreciation rights, the term may not exceed ten years from the grant date or such shorter term as may be provided in the award agreement.

Option Rights

Option rights entitle the option holder to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price established by the Administrator. The Administrator will determine the terms of the option rights, including the vesting and other conditions that must be satisfied for the vesting and exercisability of such awards.

Exercise Price

The Administrator will determine the exercise price of each option right at the date of grant, which price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The Equity Plan prohibits the reduction of the exercise price of option rights without stockholder approval, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization.

Exercise of Option Rights

An option holder may exercise his or her option rights by delivering notice of the number of option rights that are being exercised accompanied by payment in full of the applicable exercise price, in such form and pursuant to such procedures as the Company may designate from time to time, and may consist of any method of payment by the award agreement and the Equity Plan.

Appreciation Rights

Appreciation rights entitle the holder to receive from the Company an amount determined by the Compensation Committee, which will be expressed as a percentage of the excess of the market value per share of Common Stock on the date when an appreciation right is exercised over the base price provided for with respect to the appreciation right at the time of exercise. The Administrator will determine the terms of the appreciation rights, including the vesting and other conditions that must be satisfied for the vesting and exercisability of such awards.

Base Price

The Administrator will determine the base price of each appreciation right at the date of grant, which price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The Equity Plan prohibits the reduction of the base price of appreciation rights without stockholder approval, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization.

15

Stock Awards

Stock awards, including restricted stock, RSUs, cash incentive awards, performance shares, PSUs, and other equity-based awards, may be granted under the Equity Plan. These stock awards may be denominated in shares or units payable in shares of Common Stock (e.g., RSUs), and may be settled in cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares. Dividend equivalents, which represent a right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of Common Stock, may be granted in connection with RSUs, performance shares, and PSUs. The Administrator will determine the terms of stock awards, including the vesting and other conditions that must be satisfied for the vesting of such awards.

Tax Withholding

The Administrator may require a recipient to remit and will have the right to deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable withholding tax requirements with respect to any award granted under the Equity Plan.

Change in Control

The effect, if any, of certain transactions described in the Equity Plan constituting a change in control of the Company on any awards outstanding at the time immediately prior to such change in control may be specifically set forth in the corresponding award agreement, or if no such treatment is specified, then the Administrator will determine the effect of such transaction on any outstanding awards in accordance with the Equity Plan.

Termination and Amendment of the Equity Plan

Our Board may at any time amend the Equity Plan, subject to any required stockholder approval and any required consent from participants to the extent required under the Equity Plan or by applicable law. Our Board may terminate the Equity Plan at any time; provided, however, that such termination will not affect the rights of holders of outstanding awards granted under the Equity Plan or their successors.

Term of Equity Plan

The Equity Plan became effective in connection with the pricing of the IPO, and will continue in effect until terminated through a resolution by our Board, provided that the termination of the Equity Plan will not affect awards then outstanding, and the terms and conditions of the Equity Plan shall continue to apply to such awards. No grant will be made under the Equity Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Equity Plan.

  • (4) The amounts in this column are presented in USD using the average exchange rate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.66. All other compensation amounts relate to superannuation entitlements.

The Non-Employee Directors receive directors’ cash fees and options. As of January 1, 2024 through to December 16, 2024, which was the date of the completion of our Reorganization to become a Delaware corporation, the chairperson received a fixed cash fee of $152,145 per annum and the other Non-Employee Directors received a fixed cash fee of $69,193 per annum plus superannuation converted using the spot exchange rate as of the date of Reorganization, December 16, 2024, which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.64. In addition, the director serving as the Company Secretary received an annual fee of AUD $54,336. The Non-Employee Directors’ cash fees were determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which was periodically recommended for approval by stockholders. The fee pool limit stood at $445,690 per annum (AUD $700,000) converted using the spot exchange rate as of the date of Reorganization, December 16, 2024, which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.64, as approved by stockholders at Anteris Technologies Ltd’s 2014 Annual General Meeting. The fees were paid monthly. Upon pricing of our IPO, we adopted the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy described below.

In June 2024, following the approval by stockholders at the Annual General Meeting on May 29, 2024, the Company issued 475,000 options with an exercise price of AUD $23.00 per share to directors (Mr. Seaberg 75,000 options; Mr. Paterson 300,000 options, Mr. Denaro 50,000 options and Dr. Gu 50,000 options). The quoted exercise prices of $14.64 for the options held by the US directors were converted to U.S. dollars at the time of the Reorganization using the spot of A$1.00 to $0.64. The quoted exercise prices of $14.30 for the options held by the Australian directors have been translated from AUD using the year-end spot exchange rate as of December 31, 2024, which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.67. The option grants described in the table above will vest in three equal (or broadly equal) tranches over one, two, and three years so long as the recipient continues to serve as a director through each applicable vesting date.

Our Australian-based Non-Employee Directors also receive 12% superannuation from July 1, 2024 (previously 11.5%).

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

Effective upon the pricing of our IPO, we adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the ‘‘Director Compensation Policy’’) to provide for the compensation of non-employee directors for service on our Board. Each non-employee director receives an annual cash retainer for their service in each position as denoted below, each of which is payable in twelve equal monthly installments and is prorated for any portion of a month that a non-employee director is not serving in such position on our Board. Non-employee directors’ annual cash retainers are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by stockholders and stands at $2 million per annum, unless increased by approval of stockholders.

Pursuant to the Director Compensation Policy and subject to stockholder approval on a per grant basis in accordance with the rules of the ASX, unless the underlying security which is acquired on exercise of the option or otherwise on satisfaction of right is purchased on-market (as specified in an award agreement), non-employee directors who are elected or appointed to our Board receive an initial grant of restricted stock units with an aggregate grant date fair value of $250,000, which vests in three equal annual installments, subject to each non-employee director’s continued service through such date. Non-employee directors who serve on our Board as of the date of any annual stockholder meeting and will continue to serve on our Board following such annual stockholder meeting receive, subject to approval on a per grant basis in accordance with the rules of the ASX, unless the underlying security which is acquired on exercise of the option or otherwise on satisfaction of right is purchased on-market (as specified in an award agreement), an annual grant of restricted stock units with an aggregate grant date fair value of $125,000, except for the Non-Executive Board Chair, who receives a grant with a target value of $250,000, which vests on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the grant date and the date of our next annual stockholder meeting, subject to each non-employee director’s continued service through such date. A non-employee director who has served on our Board for fewer than six months prior to an annual stockholder meeting receives a prorated grant of restricted stock units, which vests on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the grant date and the date of our next annual stockholder meeting, subject to such non-employee director’s continued service through such date.

In addition, in connection with our IPO, non-employee directors, other than the Non-Executive Board Chair, received grants of restricted stock units with a target fair value of $250,000, and the Non-Executive Board Chair received a grant of restricted stock units with a target fair value of $500,000, each of which is subject to approval by stockholders in accordance with the rules of the ASX and vests annually over a three year period.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Policies and Procedures with Respect to Related Party Transactions

Our Audit and Risk Committee charter requires that the Audit and Risk Committee review and approve or disapprove all related person transactions that are required to be disclosed by Item 404 of Regulation S-K. We review all relationships and transactions reported to us in which we and our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members or any person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. Our Secretary is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether our company or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction.

We have a written related-party transaction policy that applies to our executive officers, directors, director nominees, holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities and any member of the immediate family of, and any entity affiliated with, any of the foregoing persons. Such persons will not be permitted to enter into a related-party transaction with us without the prior consent of our Audit and Risk Committee, or other independent members of our Board in the event it is inappropriate for our Audit and Risk Committee to review such transaction due to a conflict of interest. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, director nominee, principal stockholder, or any of their immediate family members or affiliates, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 or one percent (1%) of the average of our total assets as of the end of last three completed fiscal years must first be presented to our Audit and Risk Committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our Audit and Risk Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to our Audit and Risk Committee, including, but not limited to, the commercial reasonableness of the terms of the transaction and the materiality and character of the related party’s direct or indirect interest in the transaction.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Other than executive compensation arrangements described elsewhere in this Amendment (See ‘‘Item 11. Executive Compensation’’), described below are the transactions and proposed transactions, since the beginning of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, in which we were or are to be a participant and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest involving the lesser of $120,000 and one percent (1%) of the average of our total assets as of year end for the last two completed fiscal years. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee for director, or holder of 5% or more of our Common Stock, or an immediate family member of any of those persons.

Reorganization Transactions

Prior to the consummation of our IPO, we completed the Reorganization pursuant to which we received all of the issued and outstanding shares of ATL, which was formerly an Australian public company originally registered in Western Australia, Australia and listed on the ASX, pursuant to the Scheme under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act. Contemporaneously with implementation of the Scheme, ATL also cancelled all existing options it has on issue in exchange for our company issuing replacement options to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the Option Scheme under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act. The Scheme was approved by ATL’s shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders, which was held on December 3, 2024. The Option Scheme was approved by ATL’s optionholders at a general meeting of optionholders held on the same day. ATL obtained approval of the Scheme and the Option Scheme by the Supreme Court of Queensland on December 4, 2024. As a result of the Reorganization, ATL became a wholly owned subsidiary of our company and the shareholders of ATL immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO became holders of the either one share of Common Stock for every ordinary share of ATL or one CDI for every one ordinary share of ATL for each share held as of the record date.

Deed of Cross Guarantee

The Company and ATL (ACN 088 221 078) are party to a deed of cross guarantee dated December 20, 2024 (‘‘Deed’’). The Company and ATL were the only parties to the Deed at December 31, 2024, and comprise the ‘‘closed group’’ for the purposes of the Deed and, as there are no other parties to the Deed that are controlled by

22

the Company, the Company and ATL also represent the ‘‘extended closed group.’’ By entering into the Deed, the Company and ATL have guaranteed the debts of each other. There have been no changes in ownership of any members of the closed group or in the parties to the deed of cross guarantee since December 31, 2024.

Acquisition of 30% Stake in v2vmedtech, inc.

On April 18, 2023, we purchased 30% of the equity capital stock of v2vmedtech, pursuant to a contribution and stock purchase agreement (the ‘‘Stock Purchase Agreement’’), and concurrently contributed $0.2 million and entered into a development agreement (the ‘‘Development Agreement’’) and series of agreements (collectively, the ‘‘v2v Agreements’’) with v2vmedtech. v2vmedtech has a license agreement with Columbia University to develop an innovative heart valve repair device utilizing a transcatheter edge-to-edge repair method for a minimally invasive treatment of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation, also known as leaky valve.

Under the terms of the v2v Agreements, we agreed to provide certain development services to v2vmedtech in exchange for equity in v2vmedtech. Pursuant to the v2v Agreements, we provide engineering, clinical, regulatory, marketing, and executive management resources, but excluding medical and chief medical officer services, in connection with v2vmedtech’s development of these valve repair devices. We are responsible for developing products and preparing regulatory filings and all costs and expenses incurred by us directly, related to the development of devices constitute development contributions under the v2v Agreements, for which we are solely responsible. These contributions are to be provided over five stages linked to key development and regulatory requirements for the device for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve (‘‘TEER Product’’).

Stage 1 is the development of a preferred concept for the TEER Product, during which we provided analytical, engineering and product development services for the TEER Product, gather and document preliminary or critical product requirements, create product specifications, design at least one concept to meet that product specification, and provide initial prototypes. During this stage, v2vmedtech established a separate medical advisory board (the ‘‘v2v Advisory Board’’). Stage 1 concluded with a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech, prior to proceeding to Stage 2. The research and development (‘‘R&D’’) contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us under Stage 1 were $2.2 million.

Stage 2 involves manufacturing and testing prototypes of the preferred concept to finalize the TEER Product design for concept lock. This stage includes additional engineering and product development services to modify the preferred concept of the TEER Product at our sole discretion. Before we make a decision to advance to Stage 3, a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech will be conducted and their feedback will be considered. In addition, to advance to Stage 3, the TEER Product must meet all established criteria in our quality system. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us as set out in the Development Agreement under Stage 2 are expected to be $0.4 million to $0.8 million.

Stage 3 involves non-clinical bench lab testing of the TEER Product, at our discretion. Before we make a decision to advance to Stage 4, a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech will be conducted and their feedback will be considered. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us as set out in the Development Agreement under Stage 3 are expected to be $0.8 million to $1.8 million.

Stage 4 involves pre-clinical acute and chronic studies of the TEER Product in animals to support regulatory submissions, which will be undertaken at our discretion. Before we make a decision to advance to Stage 5, a design review with non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech will be conducted and their feedback will be considered. Approval from v2vmedtech’s Board may be required before proceeding to Stage 5. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us as set out in the Development Agreement under Stage 4 are expected to be $0.7 million to $1.6 million.

Stage 5 is the first use of the TEER Product in a first-in-human study in one cohort of patients anywhere in the world. During this stage, v2vmedtech will enter into agreements with the sites and practitioners performing the first-in-human study services and must maintain appropriate insurance. A review of endpoints and resulting data from the first-in-human study will be conducted by us and by appropriate non-Anteris members of v2vmedtech in order to determine the success of the first-in-human study. The R&D contributions (excluding general and administration expenses) paid by us under Stage 5 as set out in the Development Agreement are expected to be $1.0 million to $2.2 million.

During Stages 2 through 5, we may solicit input from the v2v Advisory Board and will coordinate, facilitate and participate in meetings of the v2v Advisory Board. We are generally permitted to use our own employees, resources, lab facilities and other internal resources during the five development stages.

We have an option to terminate our activities for v2vmedtech, subject to certain break rights. These break rights allow us to discontinue additional development contributions subject to a fee of $0.2 million during Stage 1 and incrementally increasing by $0.2 million for each stage of development to a maximum $1.0 million break fee in Stage 5. We will also pay all customary corporate, operational, and legal costs (‘‘operational contributions’’) of v2vmedtech up to an amount determined by the board of v2vmedtech each year. After the earlier of the completion of Stage 5 or the incurrence of $10.0 million of development contributions and operational contributions, our ownership stake in v2vmedtech will be increased from 30% to between 58% and 60%. v2vmedtech owns all intellectual property rights to the technology and data developed (the ‘‘Developed Technology and Data’’) pursuant to the v2v Agreements. However, under the terms of the v2v Agreements, v2vmedtech grants us a perpetual and exclusive license to the Developed Technology and Data for medical device applications other than leaky valve devices. As v2vmedtech is a development company, there is no revenue currently generated by this entity.

The v2v Agreements will expire one year after completion of Stage 5. We may terminate the v2v Agreements upon exercise of our break rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement and payment of the applicable break fee or upon a material breach by v2vmedtech. v2vmedtech may terminate the v2v Agreements once we no longer own any shares of v2vmedtech’s issued and outstanding capital stock or upon its exercise of its break rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the exercise of certain rights it holds under the Stock Purchase Agreement. We and v2vmedtech may terminate the v2v Agreements upon an event of insolvency or a material breach by the other party.

Development is currently in Stage 2 and has reached concept lock on the clips and coupler. Timing for a first in human trial cannot be reasonably determined at this time as it is contingent on successful completion of further stages of R&D, including the design, prototyping and testing, preclinical testing and completion of regulatory submissions. The timing to complete these activities is influenced by the v2v Agreements, which state that the Development Agreement can be terminated if certain expenditure amounts, development milestones or regulatory approvals are not incurred or achieved from March 31, 2027 and onwards. The total amount of eligible development contributions and operational contributions paid by us under the v2v Agreements as of December 31, 2024 was $3.6 million.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts reasonably incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, on account of any services undertaken by such person on behalf of our company or that person’s status as a member of our Board or executive officer to the maximum extent allowed under Delaware law.

(1) Audit fees consist of fees for professional services provided primarily in connection with the annual audit of our financial statements, quarterly reviews and services associated with SEC registration statements and other documents issued in connection with the IPO including comfort letters and consents.

Determination of Independence

In considering the nature of the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit and Risk Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit and Risk Committee discussed these services with our independent registered public accounting firm and our management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence.

Additional information concerning the Audit and Risk Committee and its activities can be found in the ‘‘Board Committees—Audit and Risk Committee’’ section of this Amendment.

Pre-Approval Policy

According to policies adopted by the Audit and Risk Committee and ratified by our Board, to ensure compliance with the SEC’s rules regarding auditor independence, all audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm must be preapproved by the Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee has established a general pre-approval policy for certain audit and non-audit services, up to a specified amount for each identified service that may be provided by the independent auditors.

The Audit and Risk Committee approved one hundred percent (100%) of all services provided by KPMG during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Audit and Risk Committee has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by KPMG and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining KPMG’s independence.
