**Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On February 27, 2023, Edge Systems Intermediate, LLC (the "Buyer"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of The Beauty Health Company (the "Company"), entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), with Dr. Lawrence Groop ("Seller") and Kristin Groop ("Mrs. Groop"), and Esthetic Education, LLC, a company wholly-owned by Mrs. Groop ("EE LLC" and collectively with Seller and Mrs. Groop, the "Seller Parties" and each, a "Seller Party"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Seller will sell to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase from Seller, all of the outstanding shares of Esthetic Medical Inc. ("EMI"), a company wholly-owned by Dr. Groop (the "EMI Shares"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement (such purchase and sale, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the "Transactions").

In exchange for the EMI Shares, Buyer will pay or cause to be paid to Seller total consideration of $16,300,000, comprised of: (i) a cash component equal to $14,990,000, which includes $11,790,000 to be paid to Seller on the date of the closing of the Transactions (the "Closing" and such date, the "Closing Date") and up to an additional $3,200,000 to be paid to Seller after the Closing Date based upon the achievement of certain conditions described in the Purchase Agreement (the "Contingent Payments"); and (ii) a stock component equal to $1,310,000 in the form of shares of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Company Common Stock"), to be issued to the Seller on the Closing Date, based on the volume-weighted average of the closing sales price of the Company Common Stock as of the date two business days prior to the Closing Date (the "Company Shares"). The Contingent Payments consist of (i) up to $1,900,000 in non-refundable, non-creditable royalty payments from the sale of Cartridges (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) by EMI after the Closing and (ii) $1,300,000 if EMI receives clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to obtain "facial indication" for its SkinStylus SteriLock® MicroSystem on or prior to the date that is 120 days immediately following the Closing.

As a condition to the Closing, EE LLC, has agreed to transfer the ownership of certain intellectual property and inventory assets of EE LLC, including certain microneedling and associated products sold under the SkinStylus™ and SteriLock® tradenames, to EMI.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller and Mrs. Groop have agreed to enter into consulting agreements with the Buyer to provide certain consulting and transition-related services to the Buyer in exchange for the compensation described in such agreements.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. In addition, Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller Parties, on the other hand, agreed to indemnify the other party or parties and their respective affiliates, shareholders, members, officers, directors, employees and other representatives for certain losses, including, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties and covenants, subject to certain negotiated limitations, deductibles, thresholds and survival periods set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Current Report") and is incorporated herein by reference.

This summary of the principal terms of the Purchase Agreement and the copy of the Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 have been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms, and is not intended to provide any other factual information about Buyer, Seller Parties, EMI, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the "Parties"). In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the Parties in connection with the signing of the Purchase Agreement. These confidential disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties and certain covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, the representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement were made as of specific dates, were made solely for the Purchase Agreement and for the purposes of allocating risk between the Parties, rather than establishing matters as facts, are solely for the benefit of such Parties, may be subject to qualifications or limitations agreed upon by such Parties and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to such Parties that differ from those generally applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and the representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement, and any descriptions thereof, should not be relied on as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances of Parties. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company's public disclosures.

Each Seller Party will give prompt written notice to Buyer if such Seller Party (or its Affiliates) receives any communication or notice with respect to any Action relating to the Taxes of or with respect to the Company that, if pursued successfully, could result in or give rise to, or could reasonably be expected to result in or give rise to, liability of the Company, Buyer, or any of its Affiliates for Taxes.

**Section 6.05&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tax Treatment of EE Asset Reorganization**.

Except as required by a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state or local Tax Law), each Party agrees (y) it will, and will cause each of its Affiliates and the Company to, report and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the tax treatment set forth in this <u>Section 6.05</u>, and (z) it will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates or

**Section 8.05&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification Procedures**. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the "**Indemnified Party**", and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the "**Indemnifying Party**".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)**Third-Party Claims**. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a "**Third-Party Claim**") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; *provided, that* if the Indemnifying Party is a Seller Party, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or (z) pertains to Taxes. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, *provided, that* if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. The Seller Representative and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.01) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management

employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)**Settlement of Third-Party Claims**. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)**Direct Claims**. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a "**Direct Claim**") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Any Losses payable to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be satisfied (i) first, but in Buyer's sole discretion, (A) as described in Section 2.05(d), by set off against unpaid Royalty Payments (as may have been reduced to the extent payments have already been made to the Seller in accordance with Section 2.05(c)), and (B) as described in Section 2.07, by set off against the unpaid Facial Indication Payment (to the extent payment has already been made to the Seller in accordance with Section 2.07), and (ii) jointly and severally by the Seller Parties.

**Section 8.07&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments**. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Total Sale Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

**Section 8.08&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exclusive Remedies**. Subject to Section 5.02 and Section 10.11, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that from and after Closing their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from Buyer's failure to pay any amounts set forth in this Agreement, fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, from and after Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.08 shall limit any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party's fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

**ARTICLE IX<br>TERMINATION**

**Section 9.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Termination**. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

**BeautyHealth to Acquire SkinStylus®, FDA-Cleared Microneedling Device**

*Acquisition is a strategic step in portfolio build-up and BeautyHealth long-term vision*

**Long Beach, Calif.,** February 28, 2023 – The Beauty Health Company (NASDAQ: SKIN), home to flagship brand Hydrafacial<sup>TM</sup>, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire SkinStylus®, an FDA-cleared microneedling device. The agreement represents a key step forward in BeautyHealth's portfolio build-up strategy and ultimately its vision to become the world's leading beauty, health and wellness platform, fueled by a community of engaged providers, estheticians and consumers.

Expected to reach $1 billion U.S. market size by 2030, microneedling is highly complementary to a Hydrafacial treatment and one of the most common co-treatments offered by providers. Often, a Hydrafacial is recommended as a pre-treatment to microneedling to ensure the skin is prepped and in an optimal state.

"Our long-held vision for BeautyHealth is to build an interconnected platform of brands and services that answer the booming consumer demand for seamless access to beauty health experiences and that support our community of estheticians and providers in delivering amazing services," said BeautyHealth President and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Stanleick. "SkinStylus is a best-in-class microneedling device and, as an esthetician-founded brand, is grounded in real world insights from the treatment room. We are excited to roll out SkinStylus broadly to our Hydrafacial Nation."

Microneedling is a non-surgical procedure performed by qualified providers using an array of tiny needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin to stimulate the body's natural wound response, which is associated with the creation of new collagen and, with that, smoother, firmer and more even-toned skin.

"Microneedling is an exciting advancement in aesthetics that offers a minimally invasive treatment option with little downtime to improve the overall appearance of skin. It is the most requested treatment option from the tens of thousands of providers we work with around the world," said BeautyHealth Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jwala Karnik. "Having carefully studied the category, we believe SkinStylus is new, better and different to anything else on the market. We are pleased to add SkinStylus to our portfolio and to build on our science-backed treatment offerings."

Co-invented by a team of skincare and aesthetics professionals, the SkinStylus microneedling device is categorized by the FDA as a class II Medical Device and is cleared as clinically proven to improve the appearance of surgical or traumatic hypertrophic scars on the abdomen in adults aged 22 years and older. In time, BeautyHealth intends to seek FDA clearance for additional indications and regulatory approvals in other markets outside of the U.S.

Upon successful integration of SkinStylus into the BeautyHealth portfolio, the Company expects upside from the acquisition in 2024 and beyond.

**About The Beauty Health Company**
