Over the first two years of the Distribution Agreement, MilliporeSigma has committed to purchase a minimum number of Growth Direct systems. Thereafter, we and MilliporeSigma will evaluate and mutually agree on additional purchase commitments, if any. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, we are permitted to continue to sell our products independently and through our existing distributors, but we may not grant the right to sell the products covered by the Distribution Agreement to other third parties so long as a purchase commitment by MilliporeSigma is in place. The initial term of the Distribution Agreement is five years, unless earlier terminated by us or MilliporeSigma in accordance with its terms.

The Distribution Agreement also contemplates future collaboration by the parties, including with respect to sourcing materials and service delivery. In that regard, within six months, the parties intend to negotiate in good faith towards a supply agreement, pursuant to which the parties will explore cost-saving measures within our supply chain focused on accelerating gross margin improvement, particularly with respect to consumables. The focus of such supply agreement may include raw materials and components as well as manufacturing and supply chain services. The parties intend to share in any cost savings achieved in the supply of the products through this supply agreement. Additionally, within one year, the parties intend to negotiate in good faith towards a services agreement to permit us and MilliporeSigma to provide certain services to each other’s customers. The parties also intend to explore additional opportunities for collaboration, such as joint development efforts for the enhancement of our products or introducing new products to be covered by the distribution arrangement.

Since our inception, we have incurred net losses in each year. We generated revenue of $28.1 million and $22.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and incurred net losses of $46.9 million and $52.5 million for those same years. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $475.3 million. We expect to continue to incur net losses in connection with our ongoing activities, including:

•growing sales of our products in both the United States and international markets by further expanding our sales and marketing capabilities;

•scaling our manufacturing and supply chain processes and infrastructure to meet growing demand for our products;

•investing in research and development to develop new products and further enhance our existing products;

•protecting and building on our intellectual property portfolio;
