 Exhibit 10.9 

ELECTROBLATE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Darrin R. Uecker
(“Executive”) and ElectroBlate, Inc. (the “Company”), effective as of September 8, 2015 (the “Effective Date”). 

1. Duties and Scope of Employment. 

(a) Position and Duties. As of September 8, 2015 (the “Start Date”), Executive initially will serve as the
Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company. Executive also will serve the Company
in such other or alternative positions as may reasonably be assigned to him by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), which positions may include director and additional or other officer positions of the Company and
subsidiaries of the Company. The period of Executive’s rendering of employment services under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.” 

(b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will perform his duties faithfully and to the best of his ability and will
devote his full business efforts and time to the Company. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the
prior approval of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may provide approximately four months of transitional services to Progyny and regular consulting services to FemPulse, each generally not to exceed fifteen (15) hours per
month, for no consideration other than the reimbursement of expenses and equity based consideration. 
 (c) Automatic Resignation. At
the end of the Employment Term, including upon any termination of employment for any reason, such ending or termination will be deemed to be an automatic resignation from all director and officer positions of the Company and any of its subsidiaries,
unless the continuation of such appointments is specifically approved by a resolution of the Board of the respective corporation or its shareholders. 

2. At-Will Employment. The parties agree that Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at-will” employment and
may be terminated at any time with or without cause or notice. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance benefits depending on the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company.
Executive’s employment with the Company will also be terminated due to Executive’s death or disability. Neither the vesting of any option described in this agreement or any separate agreement (nor any other provision of this agreement or
any other agreement between Executive and the Company), nor Executive’s participation in any stock option, incentive bonus, or other benefit program in the future, is to be regarded as assuring Executive of continuing employment for any
particular period of time. The employment at-will status can only be modified in a written agreement signed by Executive and by an officer of the Company. 

 3. Compensation. 

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company will pay Executive an annual salary of $300,000 as compensation for
Executive’s services (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid periodically (but not less frequently than monthly) in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual required
withholdings. Executive’s salary will be subject to review and adjustments on an annual basis. 
 (b) Signing Bonus. The
Executive will be paid a signing bonus of $10,000, to be paid at the time of the first periodic payment of the Base Salary, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and subject to the usual required withholdings. 

(c) IPO Bonus. The Executive will be paid a bonus of $15,000, at the time of the first periodic payment of the Base Salary after the
consummation of the initial public offering of common stock of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and subject to the usual required withholdings, provided that the Employment Term extends through the date of
payment. 
 (d) 2016 Strategic Plan Bonus. The Executive will be paid a bonus of $25,000, at the time of the first periodic payment
of the Base Salary after the approval by the Board of a “strategic plan and operating budget” for the Company adopted for 2016, provided that the Employment Term extends through the date of payment. Approval of such plan and budget by the
Board shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (e) Annual Bonus. Executive will be eligible for an annual bonus in respect of fiscal
year 2016 and each subsequent fiscal year of up to a maximum of 25% of the Base Salary for the fiscal year which will be contingent upon the attainment of annual designated corporate goals and milestones, in each case in the sole discretion of the
Board. Executive’s eligibility, and the terms and conditions, for this bonus will be documented and issued to Executive if and when approved by the Board, and Executive will not be eligible for this bonus unless and until the documentation
occurs. If awarded, this bonus will be paid not later than March 30 of the year following the fiscal year for which this bonus is awarded, provided that the Employment Term extends through the date of payment. 

(f) Start Date Options. Promptly after the Start Date, you will be granted an option (the “Start Date Option”) under
the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) to acquire that number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to 3.0% of the fully diluted capital of the Company as of the Start Date, which fully diluted capital will be determined as
follows: the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock, plus the number shares of common stock underlying all issued and outstanding warrants and options not issued under the Plan, plus the number of shares available for issuance as of
the Start Date under the Plan. The Start Date Option will have an exercise price per share equivalent to the price of a share of common stock sold in the initial public 

  
 -2- 

 
offering of the Company, provided however, if there is no initial public offering before the first vesting date, then the exercise price will be $4.00 per share. The Start Date Option will vest
25% on the first anniversary of the Start Date and thereafter 75% will vest in equal amounts on a quarterly basis over the three year period starting with the first anniversary of the Start Date with provision for accelerated vesting in the event of
a change of control, and exercisable through the tenth anniversary of the Start Date. This option will be subject to the grant agreement and the Company’s standard terms and conditions under its option plan. 

(g) IPO Options. Promptly upon the later of the consummation of the proposed initial public offering by the Company and after the
expiration or, if earlier, the full exercise, of any overallotment option granted in connection with the proposed public offering, the Company will take appropriate action to grant to you an option under the Plan, which to the extent possible will
be a qualified option (the “IPO Option”), to acquire that number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to 3% of the fully diluted capital of the Company as of consummation of the initial public offering and the expiration
or, if earlier, the full exercise, of any overallotment option granted in the IPO underwriting, less the number of shares that were awarded under the Start Date Option, where the fully diluted number of shares will be calculated on the same basis as
the Start Date Option. The IPO Option will have an exercise price per share equivalent to the closing price of a share of common stock in the public market on the day immediately before the grant date. The IPO Option will vest 25% on the first
anniversary of the grant date and thereafter 75% will vest in equal amounts on a quarterly basis over the three year period starting with the first anniversary of the consummation of the initial public offering with provision for accelerated vesting
in the event of a change of control, and exercisable through the tenth anniversary of the consummation of the initial public offering. This option will be subject to the grant agreement and the Company’s standard terms and conditions under the
Plan. Executive understands that if there is no initial public offering, there will be no IPO Option granted to Executive. 
 4. Employee
Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to other senior executives of the Company. The Company
reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees at any time. 
 5. Vacation. During
the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled to paid vacation of not less than three weeks per year, in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy for senior executive officers, with the timing and duration of specific vacations mutually
and reasonably agreed to by the parties hereto. Upon Executive’s termination of employment for any reason, Executive will not be entitled to receive any payment for any accrued but unused vacation during the Employment Term. 

6. Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, entertainment or other expenses incurred by Executive in the
furtherance of or in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time.

 7. Severance. 

(a) Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason. During the Employment Term, if (i) the Company (or any parent or
subsidiary or successor of the Company) terminates Executive’s employment for reasons other than Cause, death or Disability, or (ii) upon Executive’s resignation from the Company (or any parent or subsidiary or successor of the
Company) for Good Reason, then, subject to the continued observance by Executive of Sections 8 (severance conditions), 11 (assignment), 12 (notices), 13 (arbitration), 14 (confidential information agreement), 15 (non-competition), 17 (litigation
cooperation), and 19 (miscellaneous) below after the termination of the rendering of employment services, Executive will receive the following severance from the Company: 

(i) Severance Payment. If Executive has been employed for a Term hereunder of less than one year from the Start Date, then Executive
will receive the continuing payment of the Executive’s Base Salary (as in effect immediately prior to the Executive’s termination) equal to the number of full months of employment before the termination, up to a maximum of six
(6) months. If Executive has been employed for a Term hereunder of one year or more from the Start Date, then Executive will receive one year of continuing payment of Executive’s Base Salary (as in effect immediately prior to
Executive’s termination). The payment of the continuing Base Salary will be less applicable withholding taxes and other legally required withholdings. 

(ii) Accelerated Vesting. The unvested portion of Executive’s then Board approved and issued and outstanding options for Company
Common Stock that would normally vest over the following twelve (12) months from the date of Executive’s termination will immediately vest prior to Executive’s termination and become exercisable. The options will remain exercisable,
to the extent applicable, following the date of termination for the period prescribed in the Plan under which they are awarded. 
 (iii)
Continued Employee Benefits. If Executive timely elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) for Executive and Executive’s eligible
dependents, the Company will reimburse Executive for the monthly premiums under COBRA for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination) until the earlier of (A) the date upon which Executive
and/or Executive’s eligible dependents becomes covered under similar plans or (B) the date upon which Executive ceases to be eligible for coverage under COBRA. 

(b) Resignation; Termination for Cause; Death or Disability. If you resign (other than for Good Reason), or the Company terminates your
employment for Cause, or your employment terminates upon your death or Disability, then (i) you will no longer vest in the Option or any other stock option otherwise held by you, (ii) all payments of compensation by the Company to you
hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and (iii) you will not be entitled to any severance benefits. 

  
 -4- 

 (c) Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment with
the Company (or any parent or subsidiary or successor of the Company), the provisions of this Section 7 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company may otherwise be
entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement. Executive will be entitled to no severance or other benefits upon termination of employment with respect to acceleration of award vesting or severance pay other than
those benefits expressly set forth in this Section 7. 
 8. Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate. 

(a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 7(a) or (b) will be subject
to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Executive (the “Release”). 

(b) Confidential Information Agreement. Executive’s receipt of any payments or benefits under Section 7 will be subject to
Executive continuing to comply with the terms of the Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement between the Executive and the Company and Section 15 (non-competition) of this Agreement. 

(c) Section 409A. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Executive, if any,
pursuant to this Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or
otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Similarly, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from
Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. 

(ii) Any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Payments will be paid on, or, in the case of
installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s separation from service, or, if later, such time as required by Section 8(c)(iii). Except as
required by Section 8(c)(iii), any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive’s separation from service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to
Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s separation from service and the remaining payments shall be made as provided in this Agreement. 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments, if any, that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service, will become
payable on the first 

  
 -5- 

 
payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any,
will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service, but prior to the six (6) month
anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Payments
will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment, installment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of
Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. 
 (iv) Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of
the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of clause (i) above. It is the intent of this Agreement that all cash severance
payments under Section 7(a)(i) will satisfy the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule. 
 (v) Any amount paid under
this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) will
not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of clause (i) above. 
 (vi) The foregoing provisions are intended to be exempt from or
comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will
be interpreted to be exempt or so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition
of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A. 
 (d) No Duty to Mitigate.
Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment. 

9. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to
Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 9, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then
Executive’s severance benefits will be either: 
  

	 	(a)	delivered in full, or 

  

	 	(b)	delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, 

  
 -6- 

 whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and
the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under
Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in the severance and other benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that no portion of such severance benefits is subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the
Code, the reduction shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of the severance payments under Sections 7(a)(i) or 7(a)(ii); (2) reduction of other cash payments, if any; (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity
awards; and (4) reduction of continued employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of
Executive’s equity awards. If two or more equity awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. In no event shall the Executive have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company submits any payment or benefit payable to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise to the Company’s stockholders for approval in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.280G-1 Q&A 7, the foregoing provisions shall not apply following such submission and such payments and benefits will be treated in accordance with the results of such vote, except that any reduction in, or waiver of, such payments
or benefits required by such vote will be applied without any application of discretion by Executive and in the order prescribed by this Section 9. 

Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 9 will be made in writing by
an independent firm immediately prior to a Change of Control (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this
Section 9, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and
Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 9. The Company will bear all costs the Firm may reasonably incur in connection with any
calculations contemplated by this Section 9. 
 10. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement will have
the following meanings: 
 (a) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as (i) Executive’s
conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime involving fraud, embezzlement or any other act of moral turpitude, (ii) Executive’s gross misconduct, (iii) Executive’s unauthorized use or
disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom Executive owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of Executive’s relationship with the Company; (iv) Executive’s willful
breach of any obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company that is injurious to the Company; or (v) Executive’s continued failure to perform his employment duties after Executive has received a written demand of
performance from the Company which specifically sets forth the factual basis for the Company’s belief that Executive has not substantially performed his duties and has failed to cure such non-performance to the Company’s satisfaction
within 30 business days after receiving such notice. 

  
 -7- 

 (b) Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of
Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: 
 (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d)

voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities, other than the acquisition of 50% of the total voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities when sold by the Company in a capital raising
transaction; or 
 (ii) the date of the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation that has been
approved by the stockholders of the Company, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately
after such merger or consolidation; or 
 (iii) the date of the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all the Company’s assets in a transaction that has been approved by the stockholders of the Company.

(d) Disability. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” will mean that Executive has been unable to engage in
any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months. Alternatively,
Executive will be deemed disabled if determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration. Termination resulting from Disability may only be effected after at least thirty (30) days’ written notice by the Company of its
intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In the event that Executive resumes the performance of substantially all of Executive’s duties hereunder before the termination of Executive’s employment becomes effective, the notice of
intent to terminate based on Disability will automatically be deemed to have been revoked. 

  
 -8- 

 (e) Good Reason. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means
Executive’s resignation within thirty (30) days following the expiration of any Company cure period (discussed below) following the occurrence of one or more of the following, without Executive’s express written consent: (i) the
assignment to Executive of any duties beyond the generally recognized scope of employment of a company president and/or chief executive officer or the reduction of Executive’s duties or the removal of Executive from his position and
responsibilities as president or chief executive officer, either of which must result in a material diminution of Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities with the Company in effect immediately prior to such assignment; provided,
however, if the Executive is provided with an alternative executive type position within the Company or its subsidiaries at the same or better compensation as proved herein or that a reduction in duties, position or responsibilities solely by virtue
of the Company being acquired and made part of a larger entity will not constitute “Good Reason”; (ii) a reduction in Executive’s Base Salary (except where there is a reduction applicable to the management team generally of not
more than 10% of Executive’s Base Salary); or (iii) a material change in the geographic location of Executive’s primary work facility or location; provided, that a relocation of less than fifty (50) miles from Executive’s

“Good Reason” within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the grounds for “Good Reason” and a reasonable cure period of not less than thirty (30) days following the date of such notice and such grounds for
“Good Reason” have not been cured during such cure period. 
 (f) Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Section 409A” means Code Section 409A, and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder or any state law equivalent. 

(g) Section 409A Limit. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean two (2) times the
lesser of: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Executive’s taxable year preceding the Executive’s taxable year of his or her separation from service, as
determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to
Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code for the year in which Executive’s separation from service occurred. 
 11.
Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death and (b) any successor of the Company. Any such successor of the
Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase,
merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or
transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void.

 13. Arbitration. 

(a) Arbitration. In consideration of Executive’s employment with the Company, its promise to arbitrate all
employment-related disputes, and Executive’s receipt of the compensation, pay raises and other benefits paid to Executive by the Company, at present and in the future, Executive agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes
with anyone (including the Company and any employee, officer, director, shareholder or benefit plan of the Company in their capacity as such or otherwise) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from Executive’s employment with the Company or
termination thereof, including any breach of this Agreement, will be subject to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 through 1294.2, including Section 1281.8 (the
“Act”), and pursuant to California law. The Federal Arbitration Act shall also apply with full force and effect, notwithstanding the application of procedural rules set forth under the Act. 

(b) Dispute Resolution. Disputes that Executive agrees to arbitrate, and thereby agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury,
include any statutory claims under local, state, or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of

California Labor Code, claims of harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination, and any statutory or common law claims. Executive further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the Company may have with
Executive. 

  
 -10- 

 (c) Procedure. Executive agrees that any arbitration will be administered by the Judicial
Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”). The arbitrator shall have the power to decide any motions brought by any
party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication, motions to dismiss and demurrers, and motions for class certification, prior to any arbitration hearing. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies
available under applicable law, and the arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law. The Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the administrator or JAMS, and
all arbitrator’s fees, except that Executive shall pay any filing fees associated with any arbitration that Executive initiates, but only so much of the filing fee as Executive would have instead paid had Executive filed a complaint in a court
of law. Executive agrees that the arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with California law, including the California Code of Civil Procedure and the California Evidence Code, and that the arbitrator shall apply
substantive and procedural California law to any dispute or claim, without reference to the rules of conflict of law. To the extent that the JAMS Rules conflict with California law, California law shall take precedence. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be in writing. Any arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted in San Francisco County, California. 
 (d)
Remedy. Except as provided by the Act, arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive, and final remedy for any dispute between Executive and the Company. Accordingly, except as provided by the Act and this Agreement, neither Executive nor the
Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator will
not order or require the Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law which the Company has not adopted. 
 (e) Administrative
Relief. Executive is not prohibited from pursuing an administrative claim with a local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency that is authorized to enforce or administer laws related to employment, including, but not limited
to, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or the Workers’ Compensation Board. However, Executive may not pursue court action regarding any such claim,
except as permitted by law. 
 14. Confidential Information. Executive agrees to enter into the Company’s standard Confidential
Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement (the “Confidential Information Agreement”) and IPO lock up agreement upon commencing employment hereunder. 

15. Non-Compete. The Executive hereby agrees that during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the first
(1st) anniversary of the date on which the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason (the “Non-Compete Period”), he will not, without the express written consent of the Company, directly or
indirectly, anywhere in the United States, Mexico or Canada, engage in any activity which is, or participate or invest in, or provide or facilitate the provision of financing to, or assist (whether as owner, part-owner, shareholder, member, partner,
director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or consultant, or in any other capacity), any business, organization or person other than the Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company), whose business, activities, products or services are
directly competitive with any of the 

  
 -11- 

 
business, activities, products or services conducted by or in active planning by the Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) on the date that the Executive’s employment with
the Company terminates and which are in the Company’s Field of Interest (defined below); provided that the Executive shall be permitted to be employed by an entity which operates an ancillary business in the Company’s Field of Interest so
long as the Executive is not involved in such ancillary business. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company’s “Field of Interest” shall include, without limitation, the development, implementation or licensing or sale of
methods of using nanopulse electricity for bio-medical applications, including for diagnosis, detection, prevention, treatment or cure of tumors or cancers of internal organs, or benign diseases that can be treated by the ablation of internal tissue
as well as other dermatologic applications and any other business activity engaged in, conducted by or in active planning by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates on the date the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates.

 Exhibit 10.10 

ELECTROBLATE, INC. 

AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, 

INVENTION ASSIGNMENT, AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT 

As a condition of my employment with Electroblate, Inc., its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns (together, the
“Company”), and in consideration of my employment with the Company and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by Company, I agree to the following provisions of this At-Will Employment, Confidential Information,
Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement (this “Agreement”): 
 1. AT-WILL
EMPLOYMENT 
 I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY IS FOR NO SPECIFIED
TERM AND CONSTITUTES “AT-WILL” EMPLOYMENT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNAUTHORIZED AND NOT VALID UNLESS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT OR CEO OF THE COMPANY. ACCORDINGLY, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY
EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP MAY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE OR FOR ANY OR NO CAUSE, AT MY OPTION OR AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMPANY MAY MODIFY JOB TITLES, SALARIES,
AND BENEFITS FROM TIME TO TIME AS IT DEEMS NECESSARY. 
 2. APPLICABILITY TO PAST
ACTIVITIES 
 I acknowledge that I have been engaged to provide services to the Company for a period
of time prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Prior Engagement Period”). Accordingly, I agree that if and to the extent that, during the Prior Engagement Period: (i) I received access to any information from or on behalf of
Company that would have been “Company Confidential Information” (as defined below) and if I receive access to such information during the period of my employment with the Company under this Agreement; or (ii) I conceived, created,
authored, invented, developed or reduced to practice any item, including any intellectual property rights with respect thereto, that would have been an “Invention” (as defined below) and if I conceive, create, author, invent, develop or
reduce to practice during the period of my employment with Company under this Agreement; then any such information shall be deemed “Company Confidential Information” hereunder and any such item shall be deemed an “Invention”
hereunder, and this Agreement shall apply to such information or item as if conceived, created, authored, invented, developed or reduced to practice under this Agreement. 

3. CONFIDENTIALITY 

A. Definition of Confidential Information. I understand that “Company Confidential Information” means information that
the Company has or will develop, acquire, create, compile, discover or own, that has value in or to the Company’s business which is not generally known and which the Company wishes to maintain as confidential. Company

 
Confidential Information includes both information disclosed by the Company to me, and information developed or learned by me during the course of my employment with Company. Company Confidential
Information also includes all information of which the unauthorized disclosure could be detrimental to the interests of Company, whether or not such information is identified as Company Confidential Information. By example, and without limitation,
Company Confidential Information includes any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research or development of the Company, or to the Company’s technical data, trade secrets, or
know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, or other information regarding the Company’s products or services and markets therefor, customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on
which I called or with which I may become acquainted during the term of my employment), software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, and
other business information disclosed by the Company either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other Company property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company Confidential
Information shall not include any such information which I can establish (i) was publicly known or made generally available prior to the time of disclosure by Company to me; (ii) becomes publicly known or made generally available after
disclosure by Company to me through no wrongful action or omission by me; or (iii) is in my rightful possession, without confidentiality obligations, at the time of disclosure by Company as shown by my then-contemporaneous written records. I
understand that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit employees’ rights to discuss the terms, wages, and working conditions of their employment, as protected by applicable law. 

B. Nonuse and Nondisclosure. I agree that during and after my employment with the Company, I will hold in the strictest confidence, and
take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Confidential Information, and I will not (i) use the Company Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than for the benefit of the Company
in the course of my employment, or (ii) disclose the Company Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written authorization of the President, CEO, or the Board of Directors of the Company. Prior to disclosure when compelled
by applicable law; I shall provide prior written notice to the President, CEO, and General Counsel the Company (as applicable). I agree that I obtain no title to any Company Confidential Information, and that as between Company and myself, the
Company retains all Confidential Information as the sole property of the Company. I understand that my unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Confidential Information during my employment may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including
immediate termination and legal action by the Company. I understand that my obligations under this Section 3.B shall continue after termination of my employment. 

  
 Page 2 of 17 

 C. Former Employer Confidential Information. I agree that during my employment with the
Company, I will not improperly use, disclose, or induce the Company to use any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity with which I have an obligation to keep in confidence. I further agree that I
will not bring onto the Company’s premises or transfer onto the Company’s technology systems any unpublished document, proprietary information, or trade secrets belonging to any such third party unless disclosure to, and use by, the
Company has been consented to in writing by such third party. 
 D. Third Party Information. I recognize that the Company has
received and in the future will receive from third parties associated with the Company, e.g., the Company’s customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, partners, or collaborators (“Associated Third Parties”), their confidential
or proprietary information (“Associated Third Party Confidential Information”) subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such Associated Third Party Confidential Information and to use it only
for certain limited purposes. By way of example, Associated Third Party Confidential Information may include the habits or practices of Associated Third Parties, the technology of Associated Third Parties, requirements of Associated Third Parties,
and information related to the business conducted between the Company and such Associated Third Parties. I agree at all times during my employment with the Company and thereafter, that I owe the Company and its Associated Third Parties a duty to
hold all such Associated Third Party Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, and not to use it or to disclose it to any person, firm, corporation, or other third party except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company
consistent with the Company’s agreement with such Associated Third Parties. I further agree to comply with any and all Company policies and guidelines that may be adopted from time to time regarding Associated Third Parties and Associated Third
Party Confidential Information. I understand that my unauthorized use or disclosure of Associated Third Party Confidential Information or violation of any Company policies during my employment may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including
immediate termination and legal action by the Company. 
 4. OWNERSHIP 

A. Assignment of Inventions. As between the Company and myself, I agree that all right, title, and interest in and to any and all
copyrightable material, notes, records, drawings, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries and trade secrets conceived, discovered, authored, invented, developed or reduced to practice by me, solely or in collaboration with
others, during the period of time I am in the employ of the Company (including during my off-duty hours), or with the use of the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or Company Confidential Information, and any copyrights, patents, trade

present conveyance to the Company of ownership of Inventions that are not yet in existence. I further acknowledge that all original works of authorship that are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of
my employment with the Company and that are protectable by copyright are 

  
 Page 3 of 17 

 
“works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. I understand and agree that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Inventions is
within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit, and that no royalty or other consideration will be due to me as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Inventions. 

B. Pre-Existing Materials. I have attached hereto as Exhibit A, a list describing all inventions, discoveries, original works of
authorship, developments, improvements, trade secrets and other proprietary information or intellectual property rights owned by me or in which I have an interest prior to, or separate from, my employment with the Company and which are subject to
California Labor Code Section 2870 (attached hereto as Exhibit B), and which relate to the Company’s proposed business, products, or research and development (“Prior Inventions”); or, if no such list is
attached, I represent and warrant that there are no such Prior Inventions. Furthermore, I represent and warrant that if any Prior Inventions are included on Exhibit A, they will not materially affect my ability to perform all obligations
under this Agreement. I will inform the Company in writing before incorporating such Prior Inventions into any Invention or otherwise utilizing such Prior Invention in the course of my employment with the Company, and the Company is hereby granted a
nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable worldwide license (with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses) to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale, sell, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, prepare derivative
works of, display, perform, and otherwise exploit such Prior Inventions, without restriction, including, without limitation, as part of or in connection with such Invention, and to practice any method related thereto. I will not incorporate any
invention, improvement, development, concept, discovery, work of authorship or other proprietary information owned by any third party into any Invention without the Company’s prior written permission. 

C. Moral Rights. Any assignment to the Company of Inventions includes all rights of attribution, paternity, integrity, modification,
disclosure and withdrawal, and any other rights throughout the world that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” or the like (collectively, “Moral
Rights”). To the extent that Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law, I hereby waive and agree not to enforce any and all Moral Rights, including, without limitation, any limitation on subsequent modification, to the extent
permitted under applicable law. 
 D. Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate, current, accurate, and authentic
written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, electronic files, reports, or any other format that may be

convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title, and interest in and to all Inventions, and testifying in a suit or other proceeding relating to such Inventions. I further agree that my obligations

application for any United States or foreign patents or mask work or copyright registrations covering the Inventions assigned to the Company in Section 4.A, then I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly
authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on my behalf to execute and file any papers and oaths, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts with respect to such Inventions to further the prosecution and

G. Exception to Assignments. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRING ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS TO THE COMPANY DO
NOT APPLY TO ANY INVENTION THAT QUALIFIES FULLY UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870 (ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT B). I WILL ADVISE THE COMPANY PROMPTLY IN WRITING OF ANY INVENTIONS THAT I BELIEVE MEET THE CRITERIA IN
CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870 AND ARE NOT OTHERWISE DISCLOSED ON EXHIBIT A.

CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870 

INVENTION ON OWN TIME-EXEMPTION FROM AGREEMENT 

“(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights
in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those
inventions that either: 
 (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or
actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or 
 (2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the
employer. 
 (b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise
excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.”

 EXHIBIT D 

CONFLICT OF INTEREST GUIDELINES 

It is the policy of Electroblate, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (together the “Company”) to conduct its affairs in
strict compliance with the letter and spirit of the law and to adhere to the highest principles of business ethics. Accordingly, all officers, employees, and independent contractors must avoid activities that are in conflict, or give the appearance
of being in conflict, with these principles and with the interests of the Company. The following are potentially compromising situations that must be avoided: 

1. Revealing confidential information to outsiders or misusing confidential information. Unauthorized divulging of information is a violation
of this policy whether or not for personal gain and whether or not harm to the Company is intended. (The At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement elaborates on this principle and is a binding
agreement.) 
 2. Accepting or offering substantial gifts, excessive entertainment, favors, or payments that may be deemed to constitute
undue influence or otherwise be improper or embarrassing to the Company. 
 3. Participating in civic or professional organizations that
might involve divulging confidential information of the Company. 
 4. Initiating or approving personnel actions affecting reward or
punishment of employees or applicants where there is a family relationship or is or appears to be a personal or social involvement. 
 5.
Initiating or approving any form of personal or social harassment of employees. 
 6. Investing or holding outside directorship in
suppliers, customers, or competing companies, including financial speculations, where such investment or directorship might influence in any manner a decision or course of action of the Company. 

7. Borrowing from or lending to employees, customers, or suppliers. 

8. Acquiring real estate of interest to the Company. 

9. Improperly using or disclosing to the Company any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other
person or entity with whom obligations of confidentiality exist. 
 10. Unlawfully discussing prices, costs, customers, sales, or markets
with competing companies or their employees. 
 11. Making any unlawful agreement with distributors with respect to prices. 

12. Improperly using or authorizing the use of any inventions that are the subject of patent claims of any other person or entity. 

  
 Page 16 of 17 

 13. Engaging in any conduct that is not in the best interest of the Company. 

Each officer, employee, and independent contractor must take every necessary action to ensure compliance with these guidelines and to bring
problem areas to the attention of higher management for review. Violations of this conflict of interest policy may result in discharge without warning.
