**Item 8.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Events**

This payoff follows the closing of Elutia's previously announced sale of its BioEnvelope business to Boston Scientific Corporation for $88.0 million in cash.

The $27.8 million payoff exceeds the Company's net GAAP carrying value of $23.9 million as of June 30, 2025.The Company expects to recognize approximately $1.4 million of incremental income from the acceleration of exit fee recognition and $1.4 million from the release of loan loss reserves.

Statements including words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "plan," "will," "may," "look forward," "intend," "guidance," "future" or similar expressions are forward-looking statements.
