SUMMARY RISK FACTORS

•

•

•

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business and our financial results, including a material disruption to our
operations in fiscal 2020, and may continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

There is no guarantee that the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or non-U.S. regulatory agencies will grant
approval for our current or future products, and failure to obtain regulatory approvals in the United States and other international
jurisdictions, or revocation of approvals in those jurisdictions, will prevent us from marketing our products.

Even if clinical trials demonstrate acceptable safety and efficacy for Motiva Implants in some patient populations, the FDA or similar
regulatory authorities outside the United States may not approve the marketing of Motiva Implants or may approve it with restrictions
on the label, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth
prospects.

1

•

•

In certain large markets, we engage in direct sales efforts. We may fail to maintain and develop our direct sales force, and our
revenues and financial outcomes could suffer as a result. Furthermore, our direct sales personnel may not effectively sell our
products.

If we are unable to educate clinicians on the safe, effective and appropriate use of our products and designed surgeries, we may
experience increased claims of product liability and may be unable to achieve our expected growth.

• We have a limited operating history in the United States and may face difficulties encountered by companies early in their

commercialization in competitive and rapidly evolving markets.

• Our business depends on maintaining our brand and ongoing customer demand for our products and services, and a significant

reduction in sentiment or demand could affect our results of operations.

•

•

Any disruption at our existing facilities could adversely affect our business and operating results.

The medical technology industry is complex and intensely regulated at the federal, state, and local levels and government authorities
may determine that we have failed to comply with applicable laws or regulations.

• We rely on a single-source, third-party supplier for medical-grade long-term implantable silicone, which is the primary raw material
used in our Motiva Implants. If this supplier were to increase prices for this raw material over time or experience interruptions in its
ability to supply us with this raw material, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

• Negative publicity concerning our products or our competitors’ products, including due to product defects and any resulting litigation,
could harm our reputation and reduce demand for silicone breast implants, either of which could adversely impact our financial
results and/or share price.

• Recent news coverage has called into question the long-term safety of breast implants and reports of breast implant-associated
anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) linked to our competitors’ products which have led to regulatory actions regarding
macrotextured devices in several countries and the worldwide recall of one of our competitor’s macrotextured implants and tissue
expanders. These events may lead to a reduction in the demand for silicone breast implants and could adversely affect our business.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

PART I

We are a medical technology company focused on improving patient safety and aesthetic outcomes, initially in the breast aesthetics and
reconstruction market. We initially incorporated in Costa Rica in 2004 and subsequently reorganized under a parent holding company in the
British Virgin Islands in 2013.

Our line of silicone gel-filled breast implants, branded as Motiva Implants, is the centerpiece of our medical technology platform. Our post-
market surveillance data (which was not generated in connection with a United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, pre-market
approval, or PMA, study, but was patient or practitioner reported rather than collected at defined follow-ups) and published third-party data
indicates that Motiva Implants show low rates of adverse events (including rupture, capsular contracture, and safety related reoperations)
that we believe compare favorably with those of our competitors. We believe the proprietary technologies that differentiate our Motiva
Implants enable improved safety and aesthetic outcomes and drive our revenue growth. We have developed other complementary products
and services, which are aimed at further enhancing patient outcomes.

Since launching Motiva Implants in October 2010, the majority of our revenue has been generated from sales of our Motiva Implants in cash
pay, non-reimbursable, breast augmentation procedures. To date, our Motiva Implants are registered to be sold in more than 80 countries
outside of the United States. We currently sell our products via exclusive distributors or our direct sales force (which accounted for
approximately 43% of our revenue in 2021) and have introduced five generations of Motiva Implants. We currently commercially sell four
product families: (i) Round and Ergonomix Round, (ii) Ergonomix Oval, (iii) Anatomical TrueFixation and (iv) Ergonomix2. Our products
incorporate first of-its-kind safety features including: (i) SmoothSilk / SilkSurface (an optimized biocompatible advanced smooth surface that
is designed to reduce capsular contracture), (ii) Qid RFID technology (a non-invasive, readable serial number that enables product
identification and enhances safety and patient peace of mind), (iii) BluSeal visual barrier layer (a proprietary indicator that allows for
verification of complete barrier layer presence) and (iv) TrueMonobloc gel-shell-patch configuration (a highly durable, easy-to-insert
performance shell that allows for smaller incisions and smaller scars).

Recent Developments

In April 2021, we completed the enrollment in our one hundred patient Motiva MIA clinical case series in Costa Rica. The Institutional Review
Board, or IRB, approved study began in December 2020 subsequent to the initial 2019 case series in Asia. Fifteen board-certified plastic
surgeons from Costa Rica, Sweden, England, Brazil, Austria, Italy, Belgium, and the United States participated in the case series. The single-
center study is a prospective, single-arm, feasibility study of women 18 years or older in primary minimally invasive breast enhancement.

The Motiva MIA system is designed to provide a minimally invasive breast enhancement procedure in less time and with faster recovery than
traditional breast surgery. We have received registration in Costa Rica and a Free Sales Certificate, or FSC, for the components of the
Motiva MIA system to begin regulatory approval processes worldwide. The Ergonomix2 Diamond implant used with Motiva MIA obtained CE
marking in December 2020 and we have submitted the tools used in the Motiva MIA procedure for CE mark.

In June 2021, we held the groundbreaking ceremony for our new Sulàyöm Innovation Campus in Costa Rica. When complete, the new
facility will total approximately 170,000 square feet (16,000 square meters) and will support the company’s continued global growth with
additional capacity and capabilities in manufacturing, research and development, or R&D, digital media, training, and medical education. The
new campus will be completed in two phases with the first phase expected to cost approximately $35 million. Construction of the new
building began following finalization and execution of certain contractual arrangements. The initial phase of the construction of the cold-shell
structure is being funded by the Coyol Free Zone, with Establishment Labs having the option to purchase the land and cold shell building.
The new facilities will be located in the Coyol Free Zone in Costa Rica and we expect they will add up to 1,000 new jobs over the next
several years.

In September 2021, we launched Motiva Flora tissue expander in Europe and other CE mark countries. The Motiva Flora tissue expander
offers several notable innovations, including our patented SmoothSilk surface technology, as well as an RFID-enabled, non-magnetic
integrated port, both of which offer potential improvements in imaging, treatment, overall clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

In October 2021, we announced the launch of JOY, a new patient-centric breast aesthetics program. Women who select JOY will receive
Establishment Labs’ newest generation Motiva Ergonomix2 implants through a network of highly trained plastic surgeons, as well as, what
we believe to be, the most comprehensive patient support program available in the industry. Ergonomix2 incorporates our latest innovations,
including our most advanced ultra-high purity chemistries for enhanced device mechanical properties and improved patient ergonomics.
Ergonomix2 also features our patented SmoothSilk surface technology, which is the basis of Motiva Implants’ low inflammatory
characteristics that have contributed to the lowest capsular contracture rates in the industry. Ergonomix2 has CE mark labeling for use in
both aesthetic and reconstruction procedures. JOY includes the Motiva Woman’s Choice Program. This first-of-its-kind program allows
women with JOY, subject to certain terms and conditions, to receive financial support from Establishment Labs should they choose to have
their implants removed. Women with JOY may also have the option to visit surgeons who commit to reversing the procedure at no additional
cost. In addition to the Woman’s Choice Program, JOY also includes Establishment Labs’ Always Confident Warranty, the Motiva 5-Year
Extended Warranty, and other benefits.

The Motiva Ergonomix2 implants included with JOY offer all the features of our Ergonomix implants, including SmoothSilk surface
technology, ProgressiveGel Ultimate, and RFID enablement, as well as several new technologies, including Motiva SuperSilicones,
TrueMonobloc+, and BluSeal+. These advances offer enhanced ergonomy, extra soft feel, and more natural movement. Motiva Ergonomix2
implants are available exclusively through the JOY program.

In February 2019, the FDA granted clearance on the 510(k) submitted for the Motiva Intraoperative Sizers. Sizers are used in breast
augmentation or reconstruction procedures to assist in determining the desired breast implant volume and projection before implantation.
These devices are part of the platform to support the IDE study and in preparation for the potential PMA approval and commercialization of
Motiva Implants in the USA.

In March 2018, we received approval of an investigational device exemption, or IDE, from the FDA to initiate our Motiva Implants clinical trial
in the United States for the Motiva Round and Motiva Ergonomix Round product families and the first patient was enrolled in the study in April
2018. In March 2019, we filed our first annual report with the FDA, and our IDE study-defined enrollment targets for the aesthetic cohorts,
which include primary augmentation and revision augmentation, had been reached with a total of 450 and 100 subjects, respectively. In
August 2019, we announced completion of all surgeries in the aesthetic cohorts. In August 2019, we also announced that we were
implementing a bifurcated regulatory strategy in the United States, designed to allow us to initiate rolling submission of data in a PMA from
the primary augmentation and revision augmentation cohorts to the FDA, to be supplemented by data from the reconstruction cohorts. We
are continuing to enroll subjects in the remaining reconstruction cohorts and plan to complete enrollment of 800 patients in total in the study
in fiscal year 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we initiated a modular PMA submission process with the FDA and submitted the first of four
expected modules. According to current FDA guidance, a minimum of three years of premarket PMA data must be submitted to support
approval of standard silicone gel breast implants; however, the appropriate length of time for collection of premarket study data will be
determined by the FDA on a case-by-case basis for each implant after careful consideration of all available clinical and non-clinical data.

Breast Reconstruction

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted in their Plastic Surgery Statistics Report that 137,808 breast reconstructions were
performed in 2020. We estimate the 2020 global market was approximately $400 million. The breast reconstruction market is expected to
grow and reach approximately $600 million by 2025 at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 7% according to Markets and
Markets’ May 2020 Breast Reconstruction Market - Global Forecast to 2025 report due to a combination of increasing incidences of breast
cancer and rising awareness of post-mastectomy options available.

Traditional Breast Implants and Their Limitations

Despite the global demand for breast augmentation procedures, there has been relatively little innovation since the 1990s. In 1992, due to
emerging safety concerns, the FDA placed a moratorium on sales of silicone breast implants in the United States that was lifted in 2006.
This, combined with the ongoing FDA requirement for a PMA on all new breast implants, has discouraged breast implant innovation over the
past 30 years. Current products have relatively high adverse event rates, and we believe many do not mimic natural breast tissue. The table
below contains key adverse event information from published data from their 10-year prospective clinical trials conducted by the only three
companies currently approved to market silicone breast implants in the United States.

We believe that the improved appearance, feel and patient safety profile of our Motiva Implants provides a strong competitive advantage that
will help us to both capture market share and achieve higher patient conversion rates by addressing the key concerns described by patients
who choose not to pursue breast augmentation surgery.

Our Competitive Strengths

▪

▪

▪

Patient-centric innovative implant technologies. We have developed our Motiva Implants by enhancing and creating novel
product components for our implants, and then combining these components into products that deliver improved aesthetic outcomes,
increased patient satisfaction and favorable safety profiles.
Extensive suite of complementary products and services. Our product portfolio includes innovative products and tools. We
believe our designed surgical procedures, such as MotivaHybrid, Motiva MinimalScar and Motiva MIA, will address key unmet needs
for both the physician and the patient.
Proprietary internal manufacturing processes and capabilities. We manufacture our silicone products in state-of-the-art
manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica rather than relying on third-party manufacturers. In these facilities, we utilize our novel 3D
imprinted molding method to create proprietary surface features that, in combination with other proprietary materials and methods,
differentiate our products from those of our competitors. Our two manufacturing sites have gone through full site inspections and
audits under the Medical Device Single Audit Program, or MDSAP, which were carried out by the British Standards Institute, or BSI,
an agency which the FDA accepts as a substitute for routine agency inspections. We believe our modern facilities, focus on product
quality and deep technological expertise have helped us establish and maintain a brand of consistency, quality and safety.

▪ Dynamic worldwide sales platform. We sell our products both through exclusive arrangements with leading local distributors who
have strong local surgeon relationships and our direct sales force in key markets such as Brazil and primary markets in Europe.
Using this market-specific approach, we have built an effective and efficient worldwide sales platform.
Proven management team with expansive industry experience. We have a highly experienced management team that is
comprised of leaders from the medical aesthetic market.

▪

Our Growth Strategy

Our goal is to be the global leader in aesthetic surgical implant technology, including breast implants, while improving patient safety through
product innovation. The key elements of our strategy include:

▪

▪

Expand revenues in existing markets. We believe we can continue to grow market share in our existing markets due to the
favorable safety profile and improved aesthetic outcomes of our Motiva Implants.
Launch Motiva Implants in additional markets outside the United States. We expect that continued geographic expansion will
be a key driver of growth in the near term. In recent years, we started sales through distributors in Australia, Israel, Peru, Russia,
Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand and South Korea, as well as starting direct sales in Brazil, the second largest market for breast
augmentations. Expansion into China is expected as early as the second half of 2022.

▪ Obtain FDA approval and enter the U.S. market. We are conducting our IDE clinical trial in the United States, with the goal of

obtaining approval from the FDA for a premarket application and commercializing our Motiva Implants in the United States. All
surgeries have been completed in the aesthetic cohorts. We are continuing to enroll subjects in the remaining primary reconstruction
cohort and plan to complete enrollment of a total of 800 patients in the study across 40 sites in the United States, Germany, and
Sweden in fiscal 2022.

▪ Optimize patient conversion through sales and marketing programs. We employ a multi-faceted marketing strategy that

includes social media engagement, conference presence, online advertising and patient and physician education. This approach
enables us to engage with and educate patients on the Motiva brand and the benefits of our products, as well as increase clinical
efficiency for our physician collaborators. In the future, we expect our social media and online patient and physician education to
have important strategic synergies with our designed surgeries, which are promoted globally.
Seek out and pursue strategic acquisitions. We intend to seek out other innovative products, services and procedures that satisfy
unmet needs in the aesthetics space and complement our existing product portfolio as we believe this can be additive to future
revenue growth. We have purchased distributor networks in strategic markets and may acquire other third-party sales organizations
in the future. While we have no specific acquisitions or planned licensing agreements currently ongoing, we may engage in

▪

6

Table of Contents

these, or other strategic transactions, with the goal of augmenting our existing product portfolio and global footprint.

▪ Continue a high level of engagement with key opinion leaders. We promote Motiva Implants, in part, via an extensive and robust

calendar of physician education events led by key opinion leaders in the field of aesthetic surgery. In 2021 and 2020, we conducted
206 and 126 events, respectively, through our medical educational platform. We also collaborate actively with respected and
influential key opinion leader surgeons to identify and develop new clinical applications for our existing products, as well as new
product and strategic opportunities.

Motiva Implants
The Motiva breast implants are a class III medical device indicated for breast augmentation and breast reconstruction, including revision
surgeries to correct or improve the result of a primary breast augmentation surgery. We launched Motiva Implants commercially in October
2010, and to date we have sold approximately 2.0 million units in various countries outside the United States. Motiva Implants incorporate
several proprietary features that we believe contribute to Motiva Implants’ favorable safety profile, natural appearance and feel. Our latest
generation of Motiva Implants utilizes our proprietary Gravity Sensitive Ergonomix design, with a round base

implant that responds to gravity by shifting its maximum point of projection, offering the more “natural” projection of a shaped implant without
the malposition and rotation issues frequently associated with shaped implants. Furthermore, our fill material with the ProgressiveGel
platform of silicone gel rheologies consists of highly purified biocompatible gels with specific visco-elastic properties that we believe enables
Motiva Implants to respond to the patient’s motion in ways that more closely mimic the appearance, feel and movement of natural breast
tissue. Our catalog includes over 1,000 product variations, with round, oval and anatomical shapes, two different surfaces, SmoothSilk and
VelvetSurface, and volumes ranging from 95cc to 1060cc, resulting in a wider range of options than those offered by our major competitors.
Ergonomix2 incorporates the latest innovations, including our most advanced ultra-high purity chemistries for enhanced device safety
mechanical properties and improved patient ergonomics. Ergonomix2 also features our patented SmoothSilk surface technology, which is the
basis of Motiva Implants’ low inflammatory characteristics that have contributed to the lowest capsular contracture rates in the industry.
Ergonomix2 was CE marked in December 2020 and labeled for use in both aesthetic and reconstruction procedures.

Shell Surface: SilkSurface/SmoothSilk    

The surface topography of the breast implant shell surface varies between commercially available breast implants. Our SmoothSilk surface
was designed to improve biocompatibility and to provide for same surface topography around the entire implant for the benefit of the patients.
The International Standard Organization, or ISO, through the new April 2018 standard (ISO 14607:2018), created a classification of implant
surface textures according to roughness. This standard includes an objective way of defining the difference between smooth, micro and
macro surfaces based on roughness average. The topology of SilkSurface/SmoothSilk is characterized under the smooth category, having a
low roughness value of approximately 3.09 microns with thousands of contact features per square centimeter, which is significantly lower
than the higher limit of the smooth surface clarification defined by ISO.

Our retrospective implant data shows that Motiva Implants have a lower rate of capsular contracture and seromas when compared to
available published data from competitors. We believe that these results are due in large part to the proprietary surface of our Motiva
Implants. Our proprietary shell surfaces are smoother and have more regular surface features than those of our primary competitors based
on several studies using methods such as scanning electron microscopy, profilometry testing and statistical parameters comparisons.

A 2021 published study in Nature Biomedical Engineering led by Professor Robert Langer, Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) at David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, indicated that our SmoothSilk can largely suppress the
foreign body response and fibrosis provoking the least amount of inflammation in comparison with the other commercially available surfaces.
A larger percentage of macrophages in the cell mix indicates an inflammatory response, which is an early step in capsule formation. We
believe the more moderate inflammatory response observed on SmoothSilk is responsible for improved biocompatibility and lower
complication rates.

In addition, an abstract presented in 2017 by researchers at Montana State University showed less accumulation of both bacteria and biofilm
on SmoothSilk in vitro when compared to smoother and textured surfaces. Biofilm formed on implant surfaces increases the risk of bacteria
accumulation and capsule formation.

In December 2018, we commissioned an independent report from the French reference laboratory Laboratoire National de Metrologie et
d’Essais, or LNE, on the surface characteristics of our Motiva Implants. Based upon its testing, LNE concluded that the SmoothSilk shell
surface in the Motiva Implants is considered a smooth surface as defined by ISO 14607:2018 categorization.

The graph below shows how the size of our surface features compares with those of our competitors.

ProgressiveGel Family

The proprietary silicone chemistries that comprise our ProgressiveGel family allow for a high degree of cohesiveness and strength but add
characteristics such as softness and high ductility that enable movement dynamics more like that of natural breast tissue. We believe that the
cohesive properties reduce the likelihood of silicone gel leakage in the event of a rupture in the shell. The strength of the gel is believed to
contribute to a reduced frequency of gel fracture, a condition which leads to deformed implant shape and stress on the implant’s shell. While
other manufacturers have claimed a “high strength” gel, ours combines a notably high elasticity (the ability to stretch without permanent
deformation) with low viscosity, both of which reduce the susceptibility of the implants to rupture while improving their tactile feel and
movement dynamics. Additionally, the improved adhesion of the gel to the shell structure avoids the appearance of separation spots, an
aesthetic defect commonly seen in competitor products.

In addition to the safety advantages, our ProgressiveGel family, provides for movement characteristics that resemble natural breast tissue.
Our later generation Ergonomix products, further mimic natural tissue, with a maximum point of projection that shifts downward to create a
natural human breast shape when a patient is standing. This allows our Motiva Implants to provide the more natural aesthetics of “shaped” or
“teardrop” implants without the risk of associated drawbacks such as breast deformation from rotation and unnaturally hard tactile feel. The
images below illustrate the implants’ ability to change shape depending on the patient’s positioning.

TrueMonobloc

Our TrueMonobloc technology, which is incorporated into all generations of Motiva Implants currently sold, combines proprietary chemistry
with our proprietary manufacturing techniques to create a shell, gel and other components that are tightly bound to one another. This results
in an implant that is more homogeneously elastic and resistant to separation of the gel from the shell, addressing one type of implant failure
that can lead to shell ruptures and silicone leaks. This also enables Motiva Implants to be stretched and squeezed to a more significant
degree, which we believe currently enables breast augmentation through incision sizes smaller than one inch, compared with the published
industry norm of approximately two inches. A surgical technique that we have developed, which we call Motiva Minimally Invasive
Augmentation, or Motiva MIA, utilizes our next-generation Ergonomix2 Diamond implant to take advantage of these physical properties to
enable a less-invasive procedure for the patient. The implants associated with Motiva MIA received CE Mark approval in December 2020.
Instruments and special accessory devices for the Motiva MIA procedure have been developed and are currently awaiting regulatory
approval prior to commercialization. The following image shows that TrueMonobloc enables significant manipulation of a Motiva Implant
without separation of gel from shell.

RFID Technology

We offer a Radio-Frequency Identification Device microtransponder (also referred to as Qid) that is placed in the filling gel as an optional
feature for all implant styles. This microtransponder provides each device with a unique electronic serial number for traceability purposes.

The microtransponder contains only a unique 15-digit code that identifies the product and does not contain any patient information. This
microtransponder can be read with a simple pass from our non-invasive and inexpensive reading device, the Qid Safety Technology Reader,
and the serial number corresponds with related information in our MotivaImagine database such as implant type, size and other
characteristics. Patients can create a secure account, register the products and include applicable patient information either through the
MotivaImagine application or our website, to access their implant information.  The MotivaImagine application and Motiva Implants website
also allow the patient to access the implant warranty information. This traceability is intended to give patients comfort that any future recalls
can be positively identified as applying, or not applying, to that patient’s particular implant. This addresses a key concern that often
discourages women who are otherwise interested in implants from making the choice to move forward with the surgery. Motiva Implants are
currently the

11

Table of Contents

only breast implants on the international market with Qid Safety Technology; however, we believe there is an opportunity to sell these
microtransponders to other medical device companies in the space.

Each implant’s unique electronic serial number is encoded into the RFID circuitry as part of a three-point authentication system: the
microtransponder, the reader and the database. This authentication system prevents unauthorized access to any personal information of the
patient and is compliant with FDA regulations.

We also believe that additional functionality can be added to this microtransponder platform. Future potential applications currently under
development include temperature sensing as a means of infection detection or pressure sensing as a means of detection of shell rupture.

BluSeal
The Motiva Implant shell is constructed of successive layers of silicone elastomer and a low diffusion barrier layer. The key function of the
low diffusion barrier is to prevent diffusion of low molecular weight siloxane species from the implant to the tissues. This barrier layer embeds
our BluSeal indicator technology, which is a key feature used during the manufacturing process to verify that the barrier is present in a
uniform way around the entire shell. It is also used as a visual quality control and safety measure to minimize potential gel diffusion. This
patented manufacturing innovation is intended to highlight any imperfections in the barrier layer coverage with a distinct color. Our BluSeal
indicator technology also provides the plastic surgeon with the ability to verify whether the barrier layer has coverage defects or other
imperfections before implantation that might lead to post-implantation shell rupture or gel bleed. We believe this is another safety innovation
that contributes to our substantially lower reported implant rupture rates as compared to reports for our primary competitors.

Motiva Flora Tissue Expander

The Motiva Flora Tissue Expander is used in breast reconstruction surgery for temporary implantation (less than six months) to gradually
expand the breast tissue prior to the placement of a long-term breast implant. After implantation, the device is periodically filled with saline
solution via an injection port to increase its volume in order to stretch the skin and create a pocket for breast implant placement. The injection
port is dome-shaped and

12

Table of Contents

includes an RFID coil, which can be accurately located utilizing the port locator. The Motiva Flora Tissue Expander is the only tissue
expander in the market with an integrated RFID port with no magnets, allowing for use of the expander safely alongside MRI scanning. The
Motiva Flora received CE mark in June 2020 and has been registered in 33 countries. Motiva Flora also includes the SmoothSilk surface,
which provides biocompatibility benefits described above. Our catalog includes 15 variations, including three different heights, and a range of
volumes from 260 to 995 cc.

Motiva MIA System for Minimally Invasive Augmentation

We are also developing Motiva MIA — a patient centric procedure designed to allow breast augmentation to be performed under local
anesthesia rather than general anesthesia, through smaller incisions, with faster recovery times and a resulting reduction in surgical
complications. The Motiva MIA system includes the specially-designed Ergonomix2 Diamond implant, which received CE mark in December
2020, and its proprietary tools, including the Motiva MIA Inflatable Balloon and the Motiva MIA Injector. We received registration in Costa
Rica and a Free Sales Certificate, or FSC, for the Motiva MIA devices and we are submitting for regulatory approvals worldwide. Based on
third-party commissioned market research, we believe Motiva MIA will be able to attract new customers and expand the market for breast
aesthetic procedures.

Puregraft - Autologous Fat Augmentation

Adipose (fat) tissue removed from one area of a patient’s body can be re-injected under the skin of the face, breasts, or in other areas where
augmentation and shaping are desired. In the breast augmentation context, there is an unmet need for predictable contouring around the
edges of the breast, both with and without volume augmentation via silicone implants. Puregraft LLC’s line of products provides surgeons
with a tool for additional contouring around breast implants, which we call MotivaHybrid when used in combination with Motiva Implants and a
3D pre-surgical scan.

MotivaImagine Centers

We utilize our MotivaImagine Center initiative, which are collaborations with plastic surgery clinics whereby we provide them with access to
our technologies and the ability to brand themselves as a MotivaImagine Center. In exchange for these services and use of the Motiva
branding, each MotivaImagine Center commits to invest in providing prospective patients with a technologically advanced educational
experience featuring Motiva Implants and other products in the MotivaImagine product platform.

Designed Surgeries

Our suite of products and technologies enables surgical techniques that we intend to develop and promote as “designed surgeries.” Our first
such designed surgery, MotivaHybrid, combines 3D pre-surgical assessment of existing breast tissue volume using a 3D scanning system,
together with additional contouring using adipose tissue for more natural balanced results and improved patient satisfaction.

Our second designed surgery, Motiva MinimalScar, allows surgeons to significantly reduce the size of the surgical incision. We have
developed Motiva MIA — a family of designed surgeries that enhance breast augmentation in a

13

Table of Contents

safer, faster and more predictable way through a small and inconspicuous scar hidden in the axilla. We intend for Motiva MIA to allow breast
augmentation procedures to be performed without general anesthesia with faster recovery times and a resulting reduction in surgical
complications. In December 2020, we received a CE mark for our Motiva Ergonomix2 Diamond breast implant, which is the implant that will
be used in the Motiva MIA procedure. In early 2021, we completed enrollment in our one hundred patient Motiva MIA case series in Costa
Rica. The IRB approach study began in December 2020 and one year follow up will be completed in early 2022. Instruments and special
accessory devices for the Motiva MIA procedure have been developed and are currently awaiting regulatory approvals prior to
commercialization in specific regions. Based on third-party commissioned market research, we believe Motiva MIA will be able to attract new
customers and expand the market for breast aesthetic procedures.

Our Clinical Data

11-Year Safety Post-Market Surveillance Data

Dating from the commercial launch of Motiva Implants in October 2010 through December 2021, we have sold approximately 2.0 million
breast implants in various countries outside the United States and Canada. We maintain a Quality Management System database to log all
complaints received from patients or physicians. From October 2010 through December 2021, a total of 2,094 complaints have been
reported, investigated and processed, representing approximately 0.1% of the total Motiva Implants sold through December 2021. There
were no reported cases of late seroma, double capsule formation or anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, or ALCL, in this data set, and there were
16 cases of early seroma. The table below shows the rates of rupture, capsular contracture and reoperation for adverse events of our Motiva
Implants from the data gathered through December 2021. In contrast to the above competitor data, our data is self-reported rather than
collected at mandatory follow-ups and was generated solely for our post-market surveillance instead of in connection with a FDA PMA study.
All of these patients were located outside the United States.

Independent Clinical Experience

An independent study by Sforza et al., published in the peer-reviewed Aesthetic Surgery Journal in 2017, conducted at a single center, the
Hospital Group Ltd.’s Dolan Park Clinic, or Dolan Park, in Bromsgrove, England, between April 2013 and April 2016, reported 5,813
consecutive cases of breast augmentation with Motiva Implants. This independent study was commissioned by Dolan Park’s medical
director, Dr. Sforza, who is also a member of our medical advisory board and receives compensation from us in such capacity. The study,
conducted by a group of 16 plastic surgeons at Dolan Park, reported overall rates of complication and reoperation of 0.76% over an interval
of three years. Beginning in March of 2014, we started supplying our products to Dolan Park under a series of long-term supply agreements
with Dolan Park’s affiliated companies. The last supply agreement expired in July of 2019. There were no serious adverse events and no
cases of implant rupture for device failure, capsular contracture (Baker III/IV) in primary cases, double capsules, or late seromas. The
authors presented consistent real-world data and believe that their free, three-year aftercare system is a strong method for patient retention
and follow-up by eliminating any financial limitations for patients to return for follow-up consultations if any issues occur. Anecdotally, the
same group of surgeons utilizing the same aftercare system for the last seven years reported substantially different results utilizing other
types of silicone breast implants (i.e., non-Motiva Implants). The overall revision rate for this group from 2010 to 2013 utilizing a different,
macro-textured, FDA approved implant (N > 10,000) was 8.43%, which is more than 10 times higher than the rate for Motiva Implants
reported in this analysis.

Study to Support a PMA
We are conducting a prospective IDE clinical trial in the United States on our Motiva Round and Motiva Ergonomix Round product families.
Our IDE request was approved by the FDA on March 20, 2018 to perform a single open-label, multi-center trial, with follow-up visits available
at the time of filing. We will continue to monitor patients for ten years post-implantation. The primary endpoints of the trial will be safety,
effectiveness and patient satisfaction. In general, our trial design and patient enrollment are consistent with prior PMA studies conducted by
Allergan, Mentor, and Sientra. In August 2019, we announced that we were implementing a bifurcated regulatory strategy in the United
States, which is designed to allow us to initiate the rolling submission of data to the FDA from the primary augmentation and revision
augmentation cohorts, and then subsequently supplement our PMA with data from the reconstruction cohorts. All the surgeries had been
completed in the aesthetics cohort, which include primary augmentation and revision augmentation, with a total of 450 and 100 subjects,
respectively. We are continuing to enroll subjects in the remaining reconstruction cohort and plan to enroll a total of 800 patients in the study
across 40 sites in the United States, Germany, and Sweden in fiscal year 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we initiated a modular PMA
submission process with the FDA and submitted the first of four expected modules.

Sales and Marketing

We primarily derive revenue from sales of our Motiva Implants from two types of customers: (1) medical distributors and (2) direct sales to
physicians, hospitals, and clinics. Our products are commercially available in more than 80 countries through exclusive distributors, except in
Brazil and several European countries where we sell through our direct sales force. As of December 31, 2021, our sales organization
included 117 employees and contractors. All of these sales personnel are supported through a suite of tools, including marketing and training
materials, mobile smartphone applications, and access to a robust schedule of physician education events. We also pay significant attention
to helping our distributors maintain positive relationships with surgeons and clinics in their respective regions, and to positioning our product
in the marketplace as a premium product with consequent premium pricing.

We demonstrate our confidence in Motiva Implants with the Motiva Always Confident Warranty, which offers patients a free replacement for
any Motiva Implant that ruptures, for the life of the product. We also replace any implant which is replaced due to capsular contracture of
Baker Grade III or IV severity at any time in the first 10 years post-implantation. We also offer an extended warranty at additional cost outside
the JOY program, which provides financial assistance of up to $2,500 to cover surgical costs resulting from rupture or capsular contracture.

We employ a multi-faceted marketing strategy that includes social media engagement, conferences, advertisements and education.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends at least in part upon our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we rely on a
combination of intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets and trademarks, as well as customary contractual protections.

We have assembled a broad portfolio of intellectual property related to our medical device and aesthetics products. We believe this
intellectual property, combined with proprietary manufacturing processes and the regulatory approvals we have successfully obtained outside
of the United States, provides us with a strong market position. As of December 31, 2021, we own or have rights to 17 issued and 19
pending patents in the United States related to various aspects of our Motiva Implants (such as implant barrier layers, surface texture
technology, minimally invasive implant delivery systems, and our Qid Safety Technology radio frequency identification devices). In addition,
we own or have rights to 12 issued, two allowed and 85 pending foreign applications and one pending Patent Cooperation Treaty, or PCT,
applications. Our owned and licensed patents are expected to expire at various times between February 2025 and February 2039. Our
owned and licensed pending applications, if granted, likely would expire between September 2033 and January 2042.

In addition to pursuing patents on our products, we have taken steps to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology by
entering into confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, consultants, corporate
partners, and, when needed, our advisors. Such agreements may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for our trade
secrets or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements, and we may not
be able to prevent such unauthorized disclosure. Monitoring unauthorized disclosure is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we
have taken to prevent such disclosure are, or will be, adequate. In addition, we intend to expand our international operations, and effective
patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may not be available or may be limited in foreign countries.

In general, the medical device industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent allegations and related
litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Third parties, including our competitor companies, may assert patent,
copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights against us, our partners or our customers. Our standard license and other
agreements may obligate us to indemnify our partners and customers against such claims. We could incur substantial costs and divert the
attention of our management and technical personnel in defending against any such claims. Successful claims of infringement by a third
party could prevent us from selling or distributing certain products or performing certain services, require us to expend time and resources to
develop non-infringing products, or force us to pay substantial damages, including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed
patents-royalties or other fees. We cannot assure you that we do not currently infringe, or that we will not in the future infringe, upon any
third-party patents or other proprietary rights.

Research and Development

Our goal is to continue to improve our existing products, as well as develop new products and new surgical techniques. We have a highly
experienced team and deep customer and key opinion leader relationships. We also have sophisticated internal prototyping and testing
equipment. As a result, we have introduced five distinct generations of Motiva Implant product since October 2010, with innovative features
added to each successive generation. Further, our efforts included work on both a tissue expander for reconstruction, for which we received
a CE Mark in June 2020 and our next generation Ergonomix2 Diamond implant for minimally invasive procedures, for which we received a
CE Mark in December 2020.

We have and will continue to work with several institutions in our effort to advance implant technology, and generate additional scientific data
to support the improved safety outcomes associated with our products, including:

Plastic and Reconstructive Research Center at the University of Manchester

▪ Massachusetts Institute of Technology
▪ Medical University of Innsbruck
▪
▪ Center for Biofilm Engineering of Montana State University
▪
▪ Microscopic Structure Research Center of the University of Costa Rica

The Chair of Plastic Surgery at the School of Medicine and Psychology of Sapienza University of Rome

Table of Contents

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant R&D expenses. Our R&D expenses increased $4.5 million, or 32.8%, to $18.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our R&D expenses consist
of costs associated with our clinical and post-approval studies, regulatory activity and product development, including the development of
Motiva Implants and other current and future aesthetic and reconstruction surgical devices on our product platform.

Implantable RFID Microtransponder Platform

The RFID technology platform that we use in the Qid feature of our Motiva Implants is independently cleared as a system via the FDA’s
510(k) pathway. We are developing more sophisticated functionality using this technology platform. We believe our RFID technology will be
an attractive platform for a variety of other applications, including unique device identification for other types of implantable medical devices,
functional implantable biosensors, and diagnostic monitoring. Future specific indications include detection of device life cycles (e.g.,
flexion/contraction cycles for artificial hip and knee joints) and monitoring of analytes such as circulating tumor cells and blood chemistry
components. Some of these applications we may choose to develop and commercialize internally, while others may be more appropriately
commercialized via partnerships with other medical device companies.

We control all the activities of the development and manufacturing of our Qid Safety Technology RFID transponders. This allows us for
adapting to specific needs or new developments in our field.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

Facilities

We manufacture our products in ISO-13485-certified manufacturing facilities located in the Coyol Free Zone office park in Costa Rica, a park
populated by a number of international medical device companies and granted tax-advantaged status by the government of Costa Rica. Our
newest and largest manufacturing facility opened at the end of 2016 and we began shipping manufactured product from this facility in March
2017. This facility has approximately 28,000 square feet of office space and production areas which are capable of producing over 400,000
implants a year, with state-of-the-art support systems for sustaining production, including an ice-bank system for cooling the controlled air in
the clean room and support areas, water-lubricated air compressors for eliminating the presence of oil particulates, heat recovery systems for
energy saving, and an energy micro-grid comprised of solar panels and energy-storage batteries. These energy efficient systems generate
up to 80% of the total energy consumption of the building, which received LEED Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council in
August 2017. Our initial facility was established in 2009 and has about 3,000 square feet of production areas, capable of producing over
100,000 implants a year.

We continue to look for ways to improve manufacturing processes and facility organization to increase capacity in these two current facilities.
We completed an internal assessment and identified the potential additional manufacturing capacity of approximately 250,000 implants per
year, which we added during fiscal 2021, thereby increasing the efficiencies in our process flow.

In July 2017, both facilities received the MDSAP regulatory certification. MDSAP was established by a coalition of international medical
device regulatory authorities including Australia’s TGA, Brazil’s ANVISA, Health Canada, Japan’s MHLW and PMDA and the U.S. FDA. The
goal of MDSAP is to allow a single regulatory audit of a medical device manufacturer’s Quality Management System to satisfy the needs of
the participating regulatory jurisdictions. This program enables manufacturers to contract with an authorized third-party auditing organization,
in our case the British Standards Institute, to conduct a single audit to satisfy the relevant regulatory requirements of the participating
regulatory authorities including the FDA, which recognizes MDSAP audit reports as a substitute for FDA Establishment Inspection Reports.

In May 2019, both of our facilities in Coyol Free Zone received the Carbon Neutral certification from the Costa Rican Ministry of Environment,
Energy, and Telecommunications, based on the implementation of efficiency-aimed actions such as the reduction of energy consumption
through the acquisition of more efficient equipment; the combined use of solar panels, ice banks, and battery storage units; and the
avoidance of fossil fuels for our operations.

We are also subject to periodic inspections and audits by various international regulatory and notified bodies, and we believe our past
performance in these audits reflects the strength of our quality system and manufacturing controls. We consider this to be a key element of
our risk management and business continuity strategies and a competitive advantage as we have full control of the product lifecycle. Our in-
house manufacturing team includes

17

Table of Contents

over 460 employees, all of whom undergo well defined training programs throughout their period of employment. We believe our
manufacturing experience, know-how, and process-related trade secrets are also a competitive advantage.

We are in the process of expanding our manufacturing facilities and corporate offices in the Coyol Free Zone in Costa Rica. The initial $35.3
million project estimate includes approximately 145,000 square feet of facility space and would initially increase our manufacturing capacity
by approximately 400,000 units per year, and potentially increase capacity by 800,000 units with an additional incremental $4.6 million
investment in manufacturing equipment for a total facility space of approximately 170,000 square feet. We held the groundbreaking
ceremony for our new Sulàyöm Innovation Campus in Costa Rica in the second quarter of 2021. Construction on the new building began
following finalization and execution of certain contractual arrangements in the third quarter of 2021. The initial phase of construction of the
cold-shell structure is being funded by the Coyol Free Zone, with Establishment Labs having the option to purchase the land and cold shell
building. See Note 3, “Balance Sheet Accounts” for additional information regarding this construction project and our right to purchase the
title to the land and cold shell building currently under construction.

Process

We produce our shell surfaces using a novel 3D negative imprinting molding technique that allows much more precise control over feature
size, a uniform distribution of features on the surface, no particles creation, and less unit-to-unit variation. Our primary competitors utilize the
“salt-loss” technique or “polyurethane foam imprint” technique. The “salt-loss” technique blows crystals of salt or sugar onto the uncured
silicone shell in order to produce surface texture and the “polyurethane foam imprint” technique uses a foreign material to press against the
last uncured silicone layer to produce surface features. We believe our 3D negative imprinting technique is more efficient and consistent than
the techniques used by our competitors because the application of our advanced smooth surface is integrated with the molding process,
rather than requiring a separate, subsequent process.

Suppliers

We source manufacturing inputs from a number of outside suppliers. In particular, we obtain NuSil brand medical-grade silicone from Avantor
(previously NuSil Technology LLC), which is a sole-source supplier of such product to the entire silicone breast implant industry. In 2016, we
entered into a new supply agreement with NuSil-Avantor, which provides for specified prices per unit of each relevant component; the
contract was extended through March 31, 2022 while a new supply agreement is being finalized.

Other critical materials are the silicone patches and other silicone components used for the assembly of our breast implants. All these
components are also made with NuSil medical-grade silicone and manufactured by specialized silicone contract manufacturing suppliers. All
component suppliers undergo strict quality inspections to ensure these can meet our quality standard. Other important components are the
primary packaging polycarbonate trays, the Tyvek sealing lids and packaging. All these components are also critical to maintain integrity of
the product throughout its shelf-life and all these suppliers must be qualified and materials must be validated prior to being approved for
manufacturing activities. Most suppliers are evaluated annually, and we carry second source supplier activities to ensure business continuity
and quality and costs improvement.

Competition

The market for silicone breast implants is relatively concentrated, within Allergan Aesthetics, a division of AbbVie, and Mentor Worldwide
LLC, a division of Johnson & Johnson. In the United States, Sientra, Inc. is the only other company with an approved silicone implant
product. Internationally, the market is more fragmented, with GC Aesthetics plc, Silimed, Inc., Groupe Sebbin SAS, Hans Biomed Crop.,
Polytech Health & Aesthetics, and Arion Laboratories.

Our major competitors in the silicone breast implant marketplace are either publicly traded companies or divisions or subsidiaries of publicly
traded companies with significantly more market share and resources than we have. These companies have greater financial resources for
sales, marketing and product development, broader established relationships with health care providers and third-party payors, and larger
and more established distribution networks. In some instances, our competitors also offer products that include features that we do not
currently offer in all geographies. Our competitors also have regulatory approval to market and sell their products in countries where we
currently do not, notably the United States. In addition, our competitors may offer pricing programs with discounts across their non-breast
aesthetic product portfolios.

We also face potential future competition from a number of companies, medical researchers and existing medical device companies that may
be pursuing new implant technologies. These include non-implant breast augmentation through injections of autologous adipose tissue, new
material technologies such as synthetic fillers, and new methods of enhancing and reconstructing the breast.

We believe the primary competitive factors in our current and future markets include:

▪

safety and outcomes data generated in clinical studies;
regulatory approvals;    
technological characteristics of products;
complementary platforms of non-implant products, such as facial fillers and fat grafting technologies;

customer service; and
support by key opinion leaders.

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

Breast implants are regulated as Class III medical devices in the United States, and are subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
as implemented and enforced by the FDA. The FDA administers requirements covering the design, development, testing, safety,
effectiveness, manufacturing, labeling, promotion, advertising, distribution, and postmarket surveillance of medical devices. Medical devices
are classified as Class I (lowest risk), II (moderate risk), or III (highest risk). Unless an exemption applies or the product is a Class I device,
each medical device that we market must first receive either premarket notification clearance (by filing a 510(k) submission) or premarket
approval (by filing a PMA) from the FDA. Breast implants are currently classified as Class III devices requiring an approved PMA for
commercial distribution. In addition, certain modifications made to marketed devices also may require 510(k) clearance or approval of a PMA
supplement.

The process of obtaining FDA clearance or approval of a medical device can be lengthy and costly. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process
usually takes from three to twelve months, but it can take longer. The process of obtaining PMA approval is much more costly, lengthy, and
uncertain, and is generally preceded by the conduct of pre-clinical testing and a well-controlled clinical study. The FDA’s guidance document
“Saline, Silicone Gel, and Alternative Breast Implants” currently recommends that a core study, which can be a single, open label, multi-
center study, be conducted with ten years or more of prospective patient follow-up. To date, PMAs for silicone breast implants have been
submitted for approval to the FDA with a minimum of three years of premarket core study data. Additionally, the FDA will not approve the
PMA until it conducts a pre-approval inspection of our manufacturing facility and determines that it is in compliance with good manufacturing
practices, as set forth in the FDA’s Quality System Regulation or QSR. The PMA review and approval process generally takes from one to
three years but may take longer. The FDA’s guidance document “Saline, Silicone Gel, and Alternative Breast Implants” also states that
manufacturers seeking approval of breast implants will be subject to post-approval requirements, which may include, but are not limited to,
long-term follow-up of the core clinical study patients, conduct of separate post-approval studies, participation in a patient registry or other
studies, and training programs for physicians and surgeons, and periodic reporting requirements.

In addition to regulations governing 510(k) and PMA submissions, we are subject to regulations governing the conduct of clinical
investigations, including regulations related to informed consent, Institutional Review Board review and approval, Good Clinical Practices, or
GCPs, and labeling of investigational devices. Our clinical study sites are subject to possible inspection by the FDA. We received an IDE
approval from the FDA in March 2018, to initiate a clinical trial and our first patient was enrolled in April 2018.

When we initiate commercial distribution of our devices in the United States, we will be subject to FDA device listing and establishment
registration, good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the QSR, labeling and promotion requirements, reporting of adverse
events and device malfunctions, post-approval restrictions or conditions, post-market surveillance requirements, and reporting requirements
for product recalls, or corrections or removals in the field. Our manufacturing facilities, as well as those of certain of our suppliers, will be
subject to periodic and for-cause inspections by the FDA to verify compliance with the QSR and other regulatory requirements.

HIPAA and Other Privacy Laws
We are subject to various laws governing the privacy and security of health information and other personally identifiable information. The
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, established for the first time comprehensive U.S. federal protection for
the privacy and security of protected health information. HIPAA standards apply to “Covered Entities,” which health plans, health care
clearing houses, and certain health care providers which conduct certain health care transactions electronically, and to “Business
Associates,” entities that perform services on behalf of a Covered Entity that involves the creation, use, maintenance or disclosure of
protected health information. Both Covered Entities and Business Associates must have in place administrative, physical, and technical
standards to guard against the misuse of protected health information. Some of the institutions and physicians from which we obtain
biological specimens that we use in our research and validation work are Covered Entities and must obtain proper authorization from their
patients for the subsequent use of those samples and associated clinical information. We may perform future activities that may implicate
HIPAA, such as providing clinical laboratory testing services or entering into specific kinds of relationships with a Covered Entity or a
Business Associate of a Covered Entity.

Additionally, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, enacted as part of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 amended HIPAA by increasing the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against Covered Entities, their
Business Associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or
injunctions in federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil
actions.

Our activities must also comply with other applicable privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR. There are
also additional national, state, and provincial privacy laws that impose restrictions on the access, use, and disclosure of personal information,
including data that is not protected health information, or are otherwise more stringent than HIPAA. All of these laws may impact our
business. If we fail to comply with these privacy laws, or if significant changes in the laws restrict our ability to obtain tissue samples and
associated patient information, this could significantly impact our business and our future business plans.

Fraud and Abuse Laws

Antifraud Laws/Overpayments

As participants in national and local health care programs, we may be subject to anti-fraud and abuse laws in various countries. Many of
these anti-fraud laws are broad in scope and impose significant penalties for violation. Prohibitions under some of these laws include:

▪
▪
▪
▪

the submission of false claims or false information to government programs;
deceptive or fraudulent conduct;
excessive or unnecessary services, services that do not meet medical necessity, or services at excessive prices; and
prohibitions in defrauding private sector health insurers.

Numerous national and local agencies enforce the antifraud and abuse laws. In addition, private insurers may also bring private actions. In
some circumstances, private whistleblowers are authorized to bring fraud suits on behalf of the government against providers and are entitled
to receive a portion of any final recovery. In addition, we, and our partners, may be subject to foreign laws and regulations and other
compliance requirements, including, without limitation, anti-kickback laws, false claims laws and other fraud and abuse laws.

Transparency Laws
We are subject to transparency requirements (also known as “sunshine laws”) in France, including obligations to report payments or transfers
of value to, and the nature of the agreements we sign with, a broad class of French healthcare professionals and organizations. If our
products are approved in the United States and become eligible for federal government reimbursement, we will also become subject to the
Physician Payment Sunshine Act and its amendments and implementing regulations, which require annual reporting of payments and
transfers of value to physicians, teaching hospitals and other “covered recipients”, along with physician ownership information. Various states
have also implemented regulations prohibiting certain financial interactions with health care professionals or mandating public disclosure of
such financial interactions. We may incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations now or in the future.

If we or our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us,
we may be subject to penalties, including civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from participation in
government health care programs, additional reporting and

20

Table of Contents

government oversight, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. As we expand the geographic market for our products, we may
be subject to similar national or local laws and regulations, which may include, for instance, applicable post-marketing requirements,
including safety surveillance, anti-fraud and abuse laws, and implementation of corporate compliance programs and reporting of payments or
transfers of value to health care professionals. To reduce the risks associated with these various laws and governmental regulations, we
have implemented a compliance plan. Although compliance programs can mitigate the risk of investigation and prosecution for violations of
these laws, the risks cannot be entirely eliminated. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it,
could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business. Moreover,
achieving and sustaining compliance with applicable global privacy, security and fraud laws may prove costly.

International Medical Device Regulations

International marketing of medical devices is subject to foreign government regulations, which vary substantially from country to country.

As of May 2021, medical device products that are marketed in the European Union must comply with the requirements of the Medical Device
Regulation, or the MDR. The MDR will essentially operate in the same way as the Medical Device Directive (described below) to ensure a
harmonized approach in the European Union to ensuring the safety and performance of medical devices, and failure to comply with the MDR
could affect our ability to market and sell our products in the European Union member states. The European Commission is the legislative
body responsible for directives, including Regulation (EU) 2017/745 which, once implemented in each member state, must be complied with
by manufacturers selling medical products in the EU and the European Economic Area, or EEA. The EU includes most of the major countries
in Europe, while other countries, such as Norway, are part of the EEA and European Free Trade Area, or EFTA, respectively, and have
voluntarily adopted laws and regulations that mirror those of the EU with respect to medical devices. The EU directives address regulation of
the design, manufacture, labeling, clinical studies and post-market vigilance for medical devices. Devices that comply with the requirements
of a relevant directive will be entitled to bear the CE conformity marking, indicating that the device conforms to the General Safety and
Performance Requirements, or GSPRs, and, accordingly, can be marketed throughout the EU and EEA.

Prior to May 2021, medical device products that were marketed in the European Union were required to comply with the requirements of
Medical Device Directive, or the MDD, as implemented in the national legislation of the European Union member states. The MDD, as
implemented, provided for a regulatory regime with respect to the design, manufacture, clinical trials, labeling and adverse event reporting for
medical devices to ensure that medical devices marketed in the European Union are safe and effective for their intended uses. Medical
devices that complied with the MDD, as implemented, are entitled to bear a Conformité Européenne, or CE, marking evidencing such
compliance and may be marketed in the European Union. Failure to comply with these domestic and international regulatory requirements
could affect our ability to market and sell our products in these countries.

Outside of the EU, regulatory pathways for the marketing of medical devices vary greatly from country to country. In many countries, local
regulatory agencies conduct an independent review of medical devices prior to granting marketing approval. For example, in China, approval
by the National Medical Products Administration, or NMPA, must be obtained prior to marketing a medical device. In Brazil, the inspections
and approvals of products and facilities carried out by the ANVISA and InMetro agencies are required prior to marketing a Class 3a medical
device like our Motiva Implants. We received regulatory clearance in Brazil in March 2017 and launched our Motiva Implants commercially in
July 2017. The process in such countries may be lengthy and require the expenditure of significant resources, including the conduct of
clinical trials. In other countries, the regulatory pathway may be shorter or less costly. The timeline for the introduction of new medical
devices is heavily impacted by these various regulations on a country-by-country basis, which may become longer and more costly over time.

Anti-Corruption Laws
We are subject to applicable anti-corruption laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, and similar anti-
corruption laws in the countries in which we distribute our products. Anti-corruption laws generally prohibit offering, promising, giving, or
authorizing others to provide anything of value, either directly or indirectly, to a government official or private party in order to influence official
action or otherwise gain an unfair business advantage, such as to obtain or retain business. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as
amended, or the FCPA, prohibits any U.S. individual or U.S.-controlled business from paying, offering or

21

Table of Contents

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, and to devise and
maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls for international operations. We have implemented policies, procedures, and
internal controls that are designed to comply with these laws and regulations.

Environment

Our manufacturing processes currently require the controlled use of potentially harmful chemicals, including highly flammable solvents and
we are subject to inspections and other regulatory requirements, including Costa Rican regulations regarding environmental protection and
hazardous and controlled substance controls, among others. Environmental laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have
tended to become more stringent over time. We have incurred, and may continue to incur, significant expenditures to ensure we are in
compliance with these laws and regulations. We would be subject to significant penalties for failure to comply with these laws and
regulations. For more information, please refer to Section 1A “Risk Factors”.

Human Capital

As of December 31, 2021, we had 746 employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or covered by collective
bargaining agreements except for employees in Brazil. 

The human capital measures and objectives we focus on in managing our business include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining,
incentivizing and integrating our existing and new employees, advisors and consultants. The principal purposes of our equity and cash
incentive plans are to attract, retain and reward personnel through the granting of share-based and cash-based compensation awards, in
order to increase stockholder value and the success of our company by motivating such individuals to perform to the best of their abilities and
achieve our objectives.

We believe that our future success largely depends upon our continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified management and technical
personnel. Talent management is critical to our ability to execute on our long-term growth strategy. To facilitate talent attraction and retention,
we strive to make our company a safe and rewarding workplace, with opportunities for our employees to grow and develop in their careers,
supported by strong compensation and benefits, and by programs that build connections among our employees. We continue to be
committed to an inclusive culture which values equity, opportunity, and respect. In support of our inclusive culture, we offer competitive
compensation and benefits, including stock awards and strive to recruit a diverse talent pool across all levels of the organization.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. We operate in a rapidly changing economic and competitive environment that
presents numerous risks, many of which are driven by factors that we cannot control or predict. The following risk factors describe
circumstances or events that could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. You should consider the
following risks carefully, together with all the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto, before you invest in our common shares. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, or
operating results, could be adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our common shares could decline, and you could lose part or
all of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are not material could also
impair our business, financial condition or operating results.

Risks Related to COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business and our financial results, including a material disruption to our
operations in fiscal 2020, and may continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business, resulting in a material disruption of our operations in fiscal 2020, and we
expect the impact to continue through at least the duration of the pandemic as regions respond to local conditions. To date, the impact
includes:

•

the deferral of procedures using our products;

22

Table of Contents

•

•

disruptions or restrictions on the ability of many of our employees and of third parties on which we rely, to work effectively, including
“stay-at-home” orders and similar government actions; and
temporary closures of our facilities and of the facilities of our customers and suppliers.

As jurisdictions throughout the world continue to respond to the pandemic, the degree of the foregoing impacts may increase in scope or
magnitude, or we may experience additional adverse effects in one or more regions. Any other outbreaks of contagious diseases or other
adverse public health developments in countries where we operate or where our customers or suppliers are located could also have a
material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, surgeons and their patients have been, and in certain regions continue to be, required, or are choosing, to
defer elective procedures in which our products otherwise could be used, and many facilities that specialize in the procedures in which our
products otherwise could be used have temporarily closed and in some cases continue to be temporarily closed or operating at reduced
capacity or hours. In addition, even after the pandemic subsides or governmental orders no longer prohibit or recommend against performing
such procedures, patients may continue to defer such procedures due to personal concerns. Further, facilities at which our products typically
are used may not reopen or, even if they reopen, patients may elect to have procedures performed at facilities that are, or are perceived to
be, lower-risk, such as private surgery centers, and our products may not be approved at such facilities, and we may be unable to have our
products approved for use at such facilities on a timely basis, or at all. The effect of the pandemic on the broader economy could also
negatively affect demand for elective procedures using our products, both in the near- and long-term.

Workforce limitations and travel restrictions resulting from government actions taken to contain the spread of COVID-19 have and will
continue to adversely affect almost every aspect of our business. If a significant percentage of our workforce, or of the workforce of third
parties on which we rely, cannot work, including because of illness or travel or government restrictions, our operations will be negatively
affected. Because of government restrictions and social distancing guidelines in many countries around the world, there is an increased
reliance on working from home for our workforce and on the workforce of third parties on which we rely. For example, most of our sales
personnel and third-party agents currently are working largely using virtual and online engagement tools and tactics, which may be less
effective than our typical in-person sales and marketing programs. In addition, we reduced access to our hands-on surgeon trainings, which,
in turn, adversely impacted our ability to educate and train surgeons on the proper use of our products, which may make surgeons less
comfortable using, and therefore less likely to use, our products. We expect that governmental mandates or other restrictions will also limit
our ability to develop, and therefore launch, the products we believe will drive our future revenue growth on the timelines we anticipated
previously and could also delay the planned launch of products in 2022 and beyond. It may also cause us not to submit required filings on
our previous timetables, including with the FDA, or other regulatory bodies, both in the U.S. and outside the U.S. The continued spread of
COVID-19 has adversely impacted our IDE clinical trial operations in the United States, including our ability to recruit and retain patients and
principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, have heightened exposure to COVID-19. In addition, changes impacting
workforce function at the FDA and other regulatory bodies, as well as changes impacting workforce function at the facilities at which we seek
to have new products approved for use, could adversely impact the timing of when our new products are cleared for marketing and approved
for use, either of which would adversely impact the timing of our ability to sell these new products and would have a material and adverse
effect on our revenue growth.

Further, disruptions in the manufacture and distribution of our products or in our supply chain may occur as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic, including for the reasons above, or other events that result in staffing shortages, production slowdowns, stoppages, or disruptions
in delivery systems, any of which could materially and adversely affect our ability to manufacture or distribute our products, or to obtain the
raw materials and supplies necessary to manufacture and distribute our products, in a timely manner, or at all.

We may also experience other unknown adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic that cannot be predicted. For example, hospitals and
other facilities at which we sell our products may renegotiate their purchase prices, including as a result of, or the perception that they may
be suffering, financial difficulty as a result of the pandemic. Similarly, facilities at which we seek to sell our products in the future may require
price reductions relative to the price at which we previously expected to sell our products. Reduction in the prices at which we sell products to
existing customers may have a material and adverse effect on our future financial results and reductions in the

23

Table of Contents

prices at which we expected to sell products would have a material and adverse effect on our expectations for revenue growth.

Further, the global capital markets experienced, and we expect will continue to experience, disruption and volatility due to the COVID-19
pandemic, adversely impacting access to capital not only for us, but also for our customers and suppliers who need access to capital. Their
inability to access capital in a timely manner, or at all, could adversely impact demand for our products and/or adversely impact our ability to
manufacture or supply our products, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will, directly or indirectly, impact our business, results of operations and financial condition,
including our sales, expenses, supply chain integrity, manufacturing capability, research and development activities, and employee-related
compensation, is currently highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy at this time and will depend on future
developments that are also highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy at this time, including, without limitation:

•

•

•

•

new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, its contagiousness or virulence;

resurgences in COVID-19 transmission and infection following the easing or lifting of governmental or other restrictions or following
resumption of surgical procedures, whether as a result thereof, as a result of reinfection, as a result of a delay in the emergence of
symptoms following infection (or reinfection) by COVID-19, or as a result of COVID-19’s ability to lay dormant following infection (or
reinfection), and the adverse impact the foregoing may have on our business and financial condition, including because of the
adverse impact on patients’ willingness to undergo procedures in which our products could be used;

actions required or recommended to contain or treat COVID-19, in light of any or all of the foregoing or other as-yet unanticipated
developments, whether related to COVID-19 directly or indirectly; and

the direct and indirect economic impact, both domestically and abroad, of the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of any or all of the
foregoing, including actions taken by local, state, national and international governmental agencies, whether such impact affects
customers, suppliers, or markets generally.

Risks Related to the Development and Commercialization of Our Products

We have a limited operating history in the United States and may face difficulties encountered by companies early in their
commercialization in competitive and rapidly evolving markets.

Our Motiva Implants have been marketed solely in countries outside of the United States since October 2010, and as such, we have a limited
operating history upon which to evaluate our business and forecast our future net sales and operating results. In assessing our business
prospects, you should consider the various risks and difficulties frequently encountered by companies early in their commercialization in
competitive markets, particularly companies that develop and sell medical devices. These risks include our ability to:

•

•

•

implement and execute our business strategy;

expand and improve the productivity of our direct sales force, distributors and marketing programs to grow sales of our products;

increase awareness of our brands and build loyalty among plastic surgeons and patients;

• manage expanding operations;

•

•

respond effectively to competitive pressures and developments;

enhance our existing products and develop new products;

• maintain and obtain regulatory clearance or approval of our existing products and commercialize new products;

•

•

•

•

respond to changing regulations associated with medical devices across all geographies;

perform clinical trials with respect to our existing products and any new products;

attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel in various areas of our business; and

obtain and maintain coverage and adequate levels of reimbursement for our products.

24

Table of Contents

Due to our limited operating history in the United States, we may not have the institutional knowledge or experience to be able to effectively
address these and other risks that we may face. In addition, we may not be able to develop insights into trends that could emerge and
negatively affect our business and may fail to respond effectively to those trends. As a result of these or other risks, we may not be able to
execute key components of our business strategy, and our business, financial condition and operating results may suffer.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to enhance our existing products and services and develop or
commercialize new products and services that respond to customer needs and preferences, which we expect will require us to
incur significant expenses.

In recent years, we have incurred significant costs in connection with the development of Motiva Implants, the Motiva MIA technology, and
other products and services. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly as we continue with our IDE
clinical trial in the United States. We will also incur significant expenses to expand our sales and marketing organization to support sales of
Motiva Implants, including but not limited to a direct sales force in Brazil and several European countries, as well as other products outside
the United States and Canada.

We may not be able to compete effectively with our competitors, and ultimately satisfy the needs and preferences of our customers, unless
we can continue to enhance existing products and develop or acquire new innovative products and services. Product development requires
the investment of significant financial, technological and other resources. Product improvements and new product introductions also require
significant planning, design, development and testing at the product and manufacturing process levels. We may not be able to timely or
effectively develop product improvements or new products and services. Likewise, we may not be able to acquire new products on terms that
are acceptable to us, or at all. Furthermore, in most countries, we need to obtain regulatory approval in order to market and sell our products,
which may limit our ability to act quickly in scaling commercialization in those countries, including the United States. Our competitors’ new
products may beat our products to market, be more effective or safer or have new features, obtain better market acceptance or render our
products and services obsolete. Any new or modified products and services that we develop may not receive regulatory clearance or
approval, or achieve market acceptance or otherwise generate any meaningful sales or profits for us.

Motiva Implants are not currently approved for commercial sale in the United States. Obtaining such approval is costly and time
consuming, and we may not obtain the regulatory approval required to sell our products in the United States.

Neither we, nor any future collaboration partner, can commercialize Motiva Implants in the United States without first obtaining regulatory
approval for the product from the FDA. In the EU and other countries, we previously obtained a CE Mark, before making Motiva Implants
available for commercial sale. FDA guidance on silicone breast implants mandates approval via the PMA process. Extensive preclinical and
clinical testing will be required to support the PMA. At least one well-controlled clinical trial is required for approval, such as the one we
began in April 2018, which will require us to commit significant financial and personnel resources. Additionally, we will be required to commit
to significant and costly post-approval requirements, which will include follow-up of our clinical trial patients for up to ten years, creation of a
patient registry, and/or other studies, and implementation of training programs for physicians. We may be unable to fund, enroll, or complete
such trials in a timely fashion, or at all, and we may have an insufficient number of enrolled patients follow up as instructed. The results of
clinical studies may not be favorable enough to support marketing approval in the United States, or may raise other questions (pertaining, for
example, to product safety or effectiveness) that jeopardizes our current approvals for sale in other territories. The FDA approval process will
take at least several years to complete, and FDA approval may never be obtained. We must also demonstrate that our manufacturing
facilities, processes and controls are adequate to support FDA approval and that our clinical investigators complied with good clinical
practices in the conduct of the clinical trial for our Motiva Implants.

Furthermore, FDA regulatory approval is not a guarantee, and the filing and approval process itself is expensive and may take several years.
The FDA also has substantial discretion in the approval process. Despite the time and expense exerted, failure may occur at any stage, and
we could encounter problems that cause us to abandon or repeat clinical studies, including our ongoing IDE clinical trial that commenced in
April 2018. The FDA can delay, limit, or deny approval of a product candidate for many reasons, including, but not limited, to:

•

a product candidate may not be deemed to be safe and effective;

25

Table of Contents

•

•

•

•

FDA officials may not find the data from clinical and preclinical studies sufficient;

the FDA may not approve our or our suppliers’ processes or facilities;

the FDA may consider clinical studies inadequate and the data inadequate if, among other things, appropriate steps have not been
taken in the design, conduct, reporting and analysis of the studies to minimize bias; or

the FDA may change its approval policies or adopt new regulations.

If Motiva Implants, or our future products, fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy in further clinical studies that may be required for U.S.
approval, or do not gain regulatory approval, our business and results of operations will be harmed.

Moreover, obtaining regulatory approval for marketing of our products in one country does not ensure we will be able to obtain regulatory
approval in other countries, while a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country may have a negative effect on the
regulatory process in other countries.

There is no guarantee that the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or non-U.S. regulatory agencies will grant
approval for our current or future products, and failure to obtain regulatory approvals in the United States and other international
jurisdictions, or revocation of approvals in those jurisdictions, will prevent us from marketing our products.
We intend to seek additional distribution and marketing partners for Motiva Implants and may market specific products only in international
markets. We have obtained a CE Mark for Motiva Implants and are therefore authorized to sell in the EU; however, in order to market in
regions such as the Asia Pacific region and many other jurisdictions, we must obtain separate regulatory approvals. The approval procedures
vary among countries and can involve additional clinical testing, and the time required to obtain approvals may differ from that required to
obtain the CE Mark or FDA approval. Moreover, clinical studies or manufacturing processes conducted in one country may not be accepted
by regulatory authorities in other countries. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries, and
approval by one or more international regulatory authorities does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or by the
FDA. However, a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country may have a negative effect on the regulatory process in
others. An international regulatory approval process may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval. We may not obtain
international regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all. We may not be able to file for regulatory approvals and, even if we file, we may
not receive necessary approvals to commercialize our products in any market.

Before obtaining regulatory approval for the sale of a planned product, we may be required to conduct extensive preclinical and clinical
studies to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our planned products in human patients. Clinical studies can be expensive, difficult to
design and implement, can take many years to complete, and are uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more of our clinical studies
could occur at any stage of testing. In connection with the initiation of a clinical study in the United States, we filed an IDE application in 2017,
which was approved in March 2018 and our first patient was enrolled in April 2018. Our ongoing U.S. IDE trial may take longer to enroll than
anticipated, may be stopped for unforeseen safety issues or may not be successful in meeting its endpoints, in which case our U.S.
regulatory pathway would require subsequent additional clinical trials.

Numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, preclinical and clinical studies could occur, which would delay or prevent our ability to
receive regulatory approval or commercialize Motiva Implants or any of our planned products, including the following:

•

•

•

•

clinical studies may produce negative or inconclusive results, and we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional
clinical studies or abandon product development programs;

the number of patients required for clinical studies may be larger than we anticipate, enrollment in these clinical studies may be
insufficient or slower than we anticipate, or patients may drop out of these clinical studies at a higher rate than we anticipate;

the cost of clinical studies may be greater than we anticipate;

third-party contractors may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner,
or at all;

26

Table of Contents

• we might suspend or terminate clinical studies of our planned products for various reasons, including a finding that our planned

products have unanticipated serious side effects or other unexpected characteristics, or that the study subjects are being exposed to
unacceptable health risks;

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

regulators may not approve our proposed clinical development plans;

regulators or independent institutional review boards, or IRBs, may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical study
or conduct a clinical study at a prospective study site;

regulators or IRBs may require that we, or our investigators, suspend or terminate clinical studies for various reasons, including
noncompliance with regulatory requirements;

regulators may determine that the clinical data submitted to support our request for approval is unreliable or incomplete as a result of
any number of factors, including potential financial bias associated with equity holdings in the Company by study investigators, or
significant payments by the Company to study investigators for consulting work, which may result in regulators requesting further
data analysis or other confirmatory studies to be performed, or determining the data does not support regulatory approval;

regulators in countries where Motiva Implants are currently marketed may require that we suspend commercial distribution if there is
noncompliance with regulatory requirements or safety concerns;

regulators in countries where Motiva Implants are currently marketed may suspend commercial distribution of silicone breast
implants due to safety or other concerns generally applicable to the product category;

the supply or quality of our planned products or other materials necessary to conduct clinical studies of our planned products may be
insufficient or inadequate; and/or

the enactment of new regulatory requirements in Europe under the new Medical Device Regulation may make approval times longer
and standards more difficult to pass.

If we, or any future collaboration partner, are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of Motiva Implants or any planned
products, those clinical studies or other testing may not be successfully completed. Additionally, if the results of these studies or tests are not
positive, or if they raise safety concerns, we may:

•

•

•

•

•

•

be delayed in obtaining marketing approvals for Motiva Implants or our planned products;

not obtain marketing approval at all;

obtain approval for indications that are not as broad as intended;

have a product removed from the market after obtaining marketing approval;

be subject to additional post-marketing testing requirements; and/or

be subject to restrictions on how the product is distributed or used.

Even if we obtain regulatory approvals or clearances in a jurisdiction, our products may be removed from the market due to a variety of
factors, including adverse events, recalls, suspension of regulatory clearance to sell, or other factors. For example, during the summer of
2016 while we were transitioning from one notified body to another, our CE Mark for Motiva Implants was temporarily not in force. We expect
that the initial U.S. approval will be subject to a lengthy and expensive follow-up period, during which we must monitor patients enrolled in
clinical studies and collect data on their safety outcomes. Even if FDA approval is obtained, FDA has authority to impose postmarket
approval conditions, which can include (i) restrictions on device’s sale, distribution, or use, (ii) continuing evaluation of the device’s safety and
efficacy, (iii) additional warning/hazard labeling requirements, (iv) significant record management, (v) periodic reporting requirements, and (vi)
any other requirements the FDA determines necessary to provide reasonable assurance of the device’s safety and effectiveness. Completion
of this follow-up study, in a manner which results in data sufficient to maintain FDA approval, is subject to multiple risks, many of which are
outside of our control. These include, but are not limited to, our ability to fund the ongoing study from our operations or via additional
fundraising; study participants’ willingness and ability to return for follow-up study visits; and maintenance of a suitable study database over a
long period of time. Even if completed and appropriately evaluated, the study follow-up may reveal safety or other issues that impact the
approved labeling or may result in withdrawal of Motiva Implants from the marketplace in the United States or elsewhere.

Although we launched Motiva Implants commercially in October 2010 and have sold approximately 2.0 million units to date in various
countries outside the United States, we do not have as much post-market surveillance data as our competitors and may not have clearly
identified all possible or actual risks of our products. Furthermore, if our clinical trials do not produce patient data that compares favorably
with breast implants that are already on the market, physicians and patients may opt to not use our products, and our business would suffer.

Our product development costs will also increase if we experience delays to our clinical trials or approvals. We do not know whether any
clinical studies will begin as planned, will need to be restructured, or will be completed on schedule, or at all.

Significant clinical study delays could allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do, which would impair our ability to
commercialize our planned products and harm our business and results of operations.

Even if clinical trials demonstrate acceptable safety and efficacy for Motiva Implants in some patient populations, the FDA or
similar regulatory authorities outside the United States may not approve the marketing of Motiva Implants or may approve it with
restrictions on the label, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
growth prospects.

It is possible the FDA or similar regulatory authorities may not consider the results of our clinical trials to be sufficient for approval of Motiva
Implants for our desired indications for use. Guidance issued by the FDA in 2006 suggests that a single well-controlled study is required for
approval of a new silicone breast implant. The FDA may nonetheless require that we conduct additional clinical studies, possibly using a
different clinical study design.

Moreover, even if the FDA or other regulatory authorities approve the marketing of Motiva Implants, the approval may include additional
restrictions on the label that could make Motiva Implants less attractive to physicians and patients compared to other products that may be
approved for broader indications, which could limit potential sales of Motiva Implants.

If we fail to obtain FDA or other regulatory approval of Motiva Implants, or if the approval is narrower than what we seek, it could impair our
ability to realize value from Motiva Implants, and therefore may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and growth prospects.

Any future distribution or commercialization agreements we may enter into with respect to our current or planned products may
place the development of these products outside our control, or may otherwise be on terms unfavorable to us.

We may enter into additional distribution or commercialization agreements with third parties with respect to our current or planned products,
for commercialization in or outside the United States. Our likely collaborators for any distribution, marketing, licensing or other collaboration
arrangements include large and mid-size medical device and diagnostic companies, regional and national medical device and diagnostic
companies, and distribution or group purchasing organizations. We will have limited control over the amount and timing of resources that our
collaborators dedicate to the development or commercialization of our planned products. Our ability to generate revenue from these
arrangements will depend in part on our collaborators’ abilities to successfully perform the functions assigned to them in these arrangements.

Collaborations may be terminated and, if terminated, may result in a need for additional capital to pursue further development or
commercialization of the applicable planned products. Collaborators may own or co-own intellectual property covering our products that
results from our collaboration with them. In such cases, we would not have the exclusive right to commercialize such intellectual property.

Any termination or disruption of collaborations could result in delays in the development of planned products, increases in our costs to
develop the planned products or the termination of development of a planned product.

If we are unable to educate clinicians on the safe, effective and appropriate use of our products and designed surgeries, we may
experience increased claims of product liability and may be unable to achieve our expected growth.

We make extensive physician medical education resources available to clinicians in an effort to ensure that they have access to current
treatment methodologies, are aware of the advantages and risks of our Motiva Implants and other products, and are educated regarding the
safe and appropriate use of our products. It is critical to the success of our business to broadly educate clinicians who use or desire to use
our products to provide them with adequate instructions in the appropriate use of our products and designed surgeries. Certain of our
products

28

Table of Contents

require the use of specialized techniques which may not be covered in medical school curricula and/or product-specific knowledge. For
example, metal implant such as screws or artificial joints, produce an artifact when magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is used to image
the area in which the object resides. Our Qid Safety Technology microtransponder embedded in certain Motiva Implants contains metal and
causes an artifact that can affect breast cancer screening using MRI, and this artifact is not present in other imaging modalities such as
breast ultrasound and film or digital mammography. It is important that we educate physicians and patients on the risks associated with MRI
artifacts and how to mitigate them if they choose to utilize Motiva Implants that contain a Qid microtransponder. Failure to provide adequate
training and education could result in, among other things, unsatisfactory patient outcomes, patient injury, negative publicity or increased
product liability claims or lawsuits against the company, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business and
reputation. Claims against the company may occur even if such claims are without merit and/or no product defect is present, due to improper
surgical technique, inappropriate use of our products, or other lack of awareness regarding the safe and effective use of our products. If we
fail to educate physicians and patients about any of these factors, they may make decisions or conclusions regarding Motiva Implants without
full knowledge of the risks and benefits or may view our Motiva Implants negatively.

As part of our effort to educate and train plastic surgeons through our medical educational platform, we completed 206 and 126 medical
training sessions worldwide during 2021 and 2020, respectively. If we are unable to offer, or if we experience a delay in offering, medical
training sessions, we may experience reduced or slower than expected adoption of our products. Although since the outbreak of the global
COVID-19 pandemic we have offered virtual training sessions through our medical educational platform, the limited ability to provide in-
person programs to surgeons may reduce the effectiveness of, and interest in, our medical education efforts.

Commercial success of Motiva Implants in the United States or elsewhere depends on our ability to accurately forecast customer
demand and manufacture sufficient quantities of product in the implant sizes that patients and physicians request, and to manage
inventory effectively and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and growth prospects.

Manufacturing of silicone breast implants requires costly capital equipment and a highly skilled workforce. There is a significant lead time to
build and certify a new manufacturing facility. Until 2017, we had one manufacturing facility in Costa Rica, and we experienced inventory
shortages from time-to-time that impaired our ability to meet market demand. In March 2017, our second manufacturing facility, also located
in Costa Rica, became operational, and we received certification under the multi-country MDSAP protocol and began shipping saleable
product. Although we believe our new, larger manufacturing facility, in combination with our first facility, will give us adequate manufacturing
capacity to meet demand for at least the next two years, we have, in the past, been unable to fill all incoming orders to meet growing
demand. We began construction on the expansion of one of our facilities in Costa Rica during the third quarter of 2021. If this expansion is
not completed in a timely manner, our ability to fill incoming orders may be adversely impacted. In addition, if we obtain FDA approval, we will
likely need to obtain additional manufacturing capacity prior to any commercialization of our Motiva Implants in the United States. If demand
increases faster than we expect, or if we are unable to produce the quantity of goods that we expect with our current facilities, we may not be
able to grow revenue at an optimal rate. There may be other negative effects from supply shortages, including loss of our reputation in the
marketplace and a negative impact on our relationships with our distributors.

On the other hand, if demand for our products declines, or if market supply surpasses demand, we may not be able to reduce manufacturing
expenses or overhead costs proportionately. We have invested significantly in our manufacturing capacity in order to vertically integrate our
business. If an increase in supply outpaces the increase in market demand, or if demand decreases, the resulting oversupply could adversely
impact our sales and result in the underutilization of our manufacturing capacity, higher inventory carrying costs and associated working
capital, changes in revenue mix, and/or price erosion, any of which would lower our margins and adversely impact our financial results.
Risks Related to Our Business, Industry and Operations

We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and our ability to achieve and maintain profitability depends on the
commercial success of our Motiva Implants, which accounted for approximately 98% of

29

Table of Contents

our revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and we expect our revenues to continue to be driven
primarily by sales of these products.

We have incurred losses to date and expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Sales of our Motiva Implants accounted for
approximately 98% of our revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and we expect our revenues to
continue to be driven primarily by sales of these products. In order to achieve and sustain profitability, our revenues from these products will
need to grow beyond the levels we have achieved in the past. If physicians and/or patients do not perceive our products to be competitive in
features and safety when compared to other products in the market, or if demand for our Motiva Implants or for breast implants in general
decreases, we may fail to achieve sales levels that provide for future profitability.

Our ability to successfully market Motiva Implants and our other current and future offerings depends on numerous factors, including but not
limited to:

•

•

•

the outcomes of current and future clinical studies of Motiva Implants, including our ongoing IDE clinical trial, to demonstrate our
products’ value in improving safety outcomes and/or patient satisfaction;

acceptance of Motiva Implants as safe and effective by patients, caregivers and the medical community;

an acceptable safety profile of Motiva Implants in the global market;

• whether key thought leaders in the medical community accept that such clinical studies are sufficiently meaningful to influence their

or their patients’ choices of product;

• maintenance of our existing regulatory approvals and expansion of the geographies in which we have regulatory approvals;

•

•

•

•

•

•

designing commercially viable processes at a scale sufficient to meet anticipated demand at an adequate cost of manufacturing, and
that are compliant with ISO 13485 Quality Management System requirements and/or good manufacturing practice, or GMP,
requirements, as set forth in the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, Brazilian and other international regulations;

our success in educating physicians and patients about the benefits, administration and use of Motiva Implants;

the availability, perceived advantages, relative cost, relative safety and relative efficacy of alternative and competing treatments;

the willingness of patients to pay out-of-pocket for breast augmentation and reconstruction procedures in the absence of coverage
and reimbursement for such procedures;

the success of our internal sales and marketing organization and the sales forces of our distributors; and

continued demand for breast augmentation and reconstruction procedures using silicone implants, which may be adversely affected
by events involving either our products or those of our competitors, including FDA warnings to patients regarding Breast Implant-
Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL.

Some of these factors are beyond our control. If we are unable to continue to commercialize Motiva Implants and our other products, or
unable to obtain a partner to commercialize them, we may not be able to produce any incremental revenues related to Motiva Implants and
our other products. This would result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

We have incurred net operating losses in the past and expect to incur net operating losses for the foreseeable future.

We have incurred net operating losses since our inception, and we continue to incur significant research and development and general and
administrative expenses related to our operations. We do not expect to be profitable in 2022, and in future years we expect to incur
significant research and development expenses related to, among other things, the IDE clinical study of Motiva Implants in the United States.
Investment in medical device product development, particularly clinical studies, is highly speculative. It entails substantial upfront capital
expenditures and significant risk that any potential planned product will fail to demonstrate adequate accuracy or

30

Table of Contents

clinical utility. We may not be profitable for some time. As of December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $206.4 million.

We expect that our future financial results will depend primarily on our success in launching, selling and supporting Motiva Implants and other
products that are part of our product platform. This will require us to be successful in a range of activities, including manufacturing, marketing,
and selling Motiva Implants. We may not succeed in these activities and may never generate revenue that is sufficient to be profitable in the
future. Even if we are profitable, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to achieve
sustained profitability would depress the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our
planned products, market our current and planned products, or continue our operations.

We may need additional funds to support our operations, and such funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at
all, which would force us to delay, reduce or suspend our planned development and commercialization efforts. Raising additional
capital may subject us to unfavorable terms, cause dilution to our existing shareholders, restrict our operations, or require us to
relinquish rights to our products and technologies.

Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since our inception, and we expect to incur significant expenses in connection
with our planned research, development and product commercialization efforts. We believe that our available cash and cash from operations
will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months and beyond. If our available cash resources, net proceeds
from our follow-on public offering and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek
to sell equity or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding, or seek other debt financing.
However, we are subject to restrictive covenants under the Madryn Credit Agreement which restrict our ability to incur additional debt. Any
failure to raise the funds necessary to support our operations may force us to delay, reduce or suspend our planned clinical trials, research
and development programs, or other commercialization efforts.

To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership may be diluted, and the
terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a shareholder. Debt financing, if
available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional
debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.

If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic collaborations or partnership, or marketing, distribution or licensing
arrangements with third parties, we may be required to do so at an earlier stage than would otherwise be ideal and/or may have to limit
valuable rights to our intellectual property, technologies, products, or future revenue streams, or grant licenses or other rights on terms that
are not favorable to us. Furthermore, any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which
may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our products.

Our business depends on maintaining our brand and ongoing customer demand for our products and services, and a significant
reduction in sentiment or demand could affect our results of operations.

Our success depends on the reputation of our brands, which depends on factors such as the safety and quality of our products, our
communication activities, including marketing and education efforts, and our management of our customer experience. Maintaining,
promoting and positioning our brands is important to expanding our customer base. This will depend largely on the success of our education
and marketing efforts and our ability to provide a consistent, high-quality customer experience.

We may need to make substantial investments in the areas of education and marketing in order to maintain and enhance our brands.
Ineffective marketing, negative publicity, significant discounts by our competitors, product defects and related liability litigation, failure to
obtain regulatory clearance for our products, counterfeit products, unfair labor practices and failure to protect the intellectual property rights in
our brands are some of the potential threats to the strength of our business. To protect our brands’ status, we may need to make substantial
expenditures to mitigate the impact of such threats.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brands in the countries in which we currently sell our products, and in new countries where
we have limited brand recognition, is important to expanding our customer base. If we

31

Table of Contents

are unable to maintain or enhance the strength of our brands in the countries in which we currently sell our products and in new countries,
then our growth strategy could be adversely affected.

If we fail to compete effectively against our competitors, many of whom have greater resources than we have, our revenues and
results of operations may be negatively affected.

Alternatives exist for Motiva Implants and for our other products, and we will likely face competition with respect to any planned products that
we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future from major pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies, medical
device companies and biotechnology companies worldwide. There are several large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that
currently market silicone breast implants. We also face competition from manufacturers of saline-filled breast implants, and we see emerging
competition from non-implant breast augmentation techniques such as hyaluronic acid injection and novel fat grafting methodologies. Any of
these may present competitive barriers to Motiva Implants.

Our leading competitors are large, multi-national companies with significant resources and capabilities. Three of these companies, Sientra,
Inc., Mentor Worldwide LLC (a division of Johnson & Johnson), and Allergan plc (recently acquired by AbbVie Inc.), have conducted large
prospective clinical studies that started in the United States in 2002, 2000 and 1998, respectively, and they use this data extensively to
promote their products. This can put us at a disadvantage when promoting our products to physicians and patients, even outside the United
States. In addition, the significant financial and staff resources and brand recognition that our competitors possess mean they may be able to
compete with us regardless of the differentiating features of our products. If we are not successful in capturing market share, even outside
the United States, or if physicians or patients do not perceive our products to be safer or more favorable, our revenues and/or our operating
margins may be significantly impaired.

In addition, manufacturers of competitive products may reduce prices for their competing products in an effort to gain or retain market share
and undermine the value proposition that Motiva Implants might otherwise be able to offer to customers. Potential competitors also include
academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private research organizations that conduct research, seek patent
protection and establish collaborative arrangements for research, development, manufacturing and commercialization. These competitors
may develop new technologies that are superior to our products or replace silicone.

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

Pricing pressure from customers and our competitors may impact our ability to sell our products at prices necessary to support
our current business strategies and future expansion.

The industry environment for silicone implants and complementary products in certain international markets is price sensitive. In these
markets, or in the United States if we are successful in obtaining the required regulatory approval to sell in the U.S. market, our competitors
may adopt aggressive pricing strategies to intensify the competitive pricing pressure for breast implants. If we are not successful in educating
customers or third-party payors on the differentiation of our Motiva Implants as compared to our competitors’ products, customers may
choose our competitors’ products. Additionally, as more competitors introduce products that compete with ours, we may face additional
pricing pressure that would adversely impact our future results.

We expect to significantly increase the size of our organization; as a result, we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth,
which could disrupt our operations and/or increase our net losses.

As of December 31, 2021, we had 746 employees. Unless it is necessary for us to continue to make reductions to our workforce as a cost
management strategy due to the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on our business, over the next several years, we expect to
experience significant growth in the number of our employees and the scope of our operations, principally in the areas of manufacturing,
regulatory affairs, clinical and sales and marketing, and particularly as we prepare our operations in the anticipation of obtaining approval
from the FDA to commercialize our Motiva Implants in the United States. We also intend to continue to improve our operational, financial and
management controls, reporting systems and procedures, which may require additional personnel. Such growth could place a strain on our
administrative and operational infrastructure, and/or our managerial

32

Table of Contents

abilities, and we may not be able to make improvements to our management information and control systems in an efficient or timely manner.
We may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls.

Many of these employees will be in countries outside of our corporate headquarters, which adds additional complexity. To manage our
anticipated future growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems, expand our
facilities and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel. We may not be able to effectively manage these activities. The
physical expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may divert our management and business development resources.
Future growth would impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including:

• managing our clinical trials effectively, which we anticipate being conducted at numerous clinical sites;

•

identifying, recruiting, maintaining, motivating and integrating additional employees with the expertise and experience we will require,
in multiple countries;

• managing our internal development efforts effectively while complying with our contractual obligations to licensors, licensees,

contractors and other third parties;

• managing additional relationships with various distributors, suppliers, and other third parties;

•

•

improving our managerial, development, operational and finance reporting systems and procedures; and

expanding our facilities.

Our failure to accomplish any of these tasks could prevent us from growing successfully. Any inability to manage growth could delay the
execution of our business plans or disrupt our operations. We may also be exposed or subject to additional unforeseen or undisclosed
liabilities as well as increased levels of indebtedness.

In certain large markets, we engage in direct sales efforts. We may fail to maintain and develop our direct sales force, and our
revenues and financial outcomes could suffer as a result. Furthermore, our direct sales personnel may not effectively sell our
products.

We have established a direct sales force for our business in Brazil, and we have implemented a direct sales strategy in several European
countries. We have hired and will need to retain and motivate a significant number of sales and marketing personnel in order to support our
anticipated growth in these countries. There is significant competition for quality personnel experienced in such activities, including from
companies with greater financial resources than ours. If we are not successful in our efforts to continue recruiting, retaining, and motivating
such personnel, we may not be able to increase our revenues, or we may increase our expenses in greater measure than our revenues,
negatively impacting our operating results.

We are also working on creating a direct sales structure and strategy in certain markets. We are working to put in place the correct legal and
business structures to comply with taxation and operational requirements. These structures may not ultimately be implemented or, if
implemented, be successful or effective and may not be able to increase our revenues or improve our gross margins. In addition, our
expenses or tax related costs may increase in greater measure than our revenues, negatively impacting our operating results.

We may be subject to substantial warranty or product liability claims or other litigation in the ordinary course of business that may
adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We face an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the sale of Motiva Implants and any planned products in clinical studies. The
marketing, sale and use of Motiva Implants and our planned products could lead to the filing of product liability claims against us if someone
alleges that our products failed to perform as designed or caused significant adverse events in patients. We may also be subject to liability for
a misunderstanding of, or inappropriate reliance upon, the information we provide. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against claims
that Motiva Implants or our planned products caused injuries, we may incur substantial liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome,
liability claims may result in:

•

•

decreased demand for any planned products we may develop;

injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention;

• withdrawal of patients from clinical studies or cancellation of studies;

•

significant costs to defend the related litigation and distraction to our management team;

33

Table of Contents

•

•

•

substantial monetary awards to plaintiffs;

loss of revenue; and

the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.

We currently hold $25 million in product liability insurance coverage, which may not be adequate to cover all liabilities we may incur.
Insurance coverage is increasingly expensive. We may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in an amount
adequate to satisfy any liability that may arise.

Counterfeit products may be represented as ours, which could compete with our genuine products and may also expose us to
risks associated with adverse events and product liability.

We routinely see counterfeit versions of our major competitor’s branded products in the marketplace, and we have recently become aware of
potential counterfeiting of our Motiva Implants. This is particularly common in emerging markets, where sensitivity to price is higher and
regulatory enforcement is under-resourced. These counterfeit products are typically manufactured with significantly lower quality than the
products they are claimed to be, and in some cases may be manufactured with silicones that are not medical grade. They may expose
patients to significant adverse event risks, and there is a risk that certain adverse events with counterfeit products may be attributed to our
genuine products. This could reduce demand for our products, result in negative publicity, or otherwise impact our business and the price of
our shares.

Negative publicity concerning our products or our competitors’ products, including due to product defects and any resulting
litigation, could harm our reputation and reduce demand for silicone breast implants, either of which could adversely impact our
financial results and/or share price.

The silicone breast implant industry has been the focus of significant regulatory and media scrutiny. Silicone breast implants were removed
from the U.S. marketplace for a period in the 1990s and 2000s related to safety concerns. Certain patient advocacy groups exist to publicize
real and perceived health risks associated with silicone breast implants and plastic surgery generally. Recently, some breast implant patients
have begun to self-identify and report various symptoms that they believe are related to their breast implants; they refer to these symptoms
as Breast Implant Illness, or BII, but BII is not an official medical diagnosis. Additionally, the activities of legislative bodies, regulatory
agencies, physician organizations, and other groups may lead to publicity around the real and perceived risks to patients from silicone
implants. The responses of potential patients, physicians, the news media, legislative and regulatory bodies and others to information about
complications or alleged complications of our products or our competitors’ products, or products liability litigation against us or our
competitors, could materially reduce market acceptance and patient demand for our products, or could, even in the absence of a change in
demand, negatively impact our business and reputation and negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations or the market
price of our common shares. In addition, activity of this type could result in an increase in the number or size of product liability claims, which
would adversely affect our business, financial results, and/or the price of our shares.

Recent news coverage has called into question the long-term safety of breast implants and reports of breast implant-associated
anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) linked to our competitors’ products which have led to regulatory actions regarding
macrotextured devices in several countries and the worldwide recall of one of our competitor’s macrotextured implants and tissue
expanders. These events may lead to a reduction in the demand for silicone breast implants and could adversely affect our
business.

Women with breast implants have reported higher rates, as compared to the general population, of BIA-ALCL, an uncommon type of cancer
affecting cells of the immune system. In January 2011, the FDA indicated that there was a possible association between certain saline and
silicone gel-filled breast implants and higher rates of BIA-ALCL, with the causal links neither yet understood nor confirmed. In March 2015,
France’s National Cancer Institute, or NCI, noted that there is a clearly established link between ALCL and certain breast implants, which is
referred to as breast implant-associated ALCL, or BIA-ALCL. The NCI noted in that report that most of the reported cases occurred in women
with textured implants.

In August 2017, the FDA updated its advisory on BIA-ALCL and subsequently requested all breast implant manufacturers to revise their
physician and patient labeling with the most current information. The August 2017 update described BIA-ALCL as “rare” and stated “we have
strengthened our understanding of this condition and

34

Table of Contents

concur with the World Health Organization designation of BIA-ALCL as a rare T-cell lymphoma that can develop following breast implants.
The exact number of cases remains difficult to determine due to significant limitations in world-wide reporting and lack of global implant sales
data. At this time, most data suggest that BIA-ALCL occurs more frequently following implantation of breast implants with textured surfaces
rather than those with smooth surfaces.” The FDA noted it does not recommend prophylactic breast implant removal in a patient without
symptoms or other abnormalities.

In March 2018, the FDA further updated its advisory on BIA-ALCL stating “we are reporting that we are aware of 414 total cases of BIA-
ALCL. Additionally, studies reported in medical literature estimate that the lifetime risk of developing BIA-ALCL for patients with textured
breast implants ranges from 1 in 3,817 to 1 in 30,000.” The FDA noted that the update did not change the agency’s recommendation and that
choosing to obtain a breast implant is a personal decision that patients and providers should make with the most complete information
available. In the fourth quarter of 2018, following the non-renewal of its textured breast implant CE Mark licenses in Europe, Allergan plc
suspended sales of textured breast implants in Europe and withdrew its remaining textured breast implants on the market within Europe.

On February 6, 2019, the FDA further reported that as of September 2018, the agency had received a total of 660 total medical device
reports regarding BIA-ALCL cases since 2010. Of the 660 reports, the FDA’s analysis suggested that there are 457 unique cases of BIA-
ALCL, including nine patient deaths. Additionally, on February 12, 2019, Health Canada confirmed that as of January 1, 2019, it had received
reports of 22 confirmed and 22 suspected Canadian cases of BIA-ALCL and that it would be updating its safety review of BIA-ALCL in Spring
2019. In April 2019, the Agence Nationale de Securite du Medicament et des Produits de Sante, or ANSM, the regulatory authority in France,
announced that 59 cases of BIA-ALCL had been reported in France since 2011 and banned several types of macrotextured and
polyurethane implants linked to BIA-ALCL. Between February and September 2019, authorities from Australia, Colombia, Canada, South
Korea and Singapore announced similar bans. 

®
In July 2019, the FDA requested that Allergan plc recall its Biocell  textured implants in the U.S. market and Allergan subsequently
announced the global recall of its Biocell  textured breast implants and tissue expanders. In the FDA announcement, it noted that it had
®
reviewed 573 unique cases globally of BIA-ALCL, including 33 patient deaths, of which 12 of the 13 known deaths were attributed to Biocell
implants. The FDA further noted that it will continue to monitor the incidence of BIA-ALCL across other textured and smooth breast implants
and tissue expanders as well as other devices intended for use in the breast. The FDA subsequently identified the recall as a Class I recall in
September 2019 and stated that use of the recalled devices may cause serious injuries and death. As the BIA-ALCL risk continues to
become more highly publicized, this could have a significant negative impact on demand for breast implants globally, including our Motiva
Implants.

®

In September 2020, the FDA released finalized guidance on breast implant labeling recommendations, including the addition of a boxed
warning, a patient decision checklist, material and device descriptions, implant rupture screening recommendations and a patient device
card. In October 2021, the FDA took several additional actions to strengthen breast implant risk communication, including restricting the sale
and distribution of breast implants to only health care providers and facilities that provide information to patients using the patient decision
checklist. The FDA also approved new labeling for all legally marketed breast implants that includes a boxed warning, a patient decision
checklist, updated silicone gel-filled breast implant rupture screening recommendations, a device description with a list of specific materials,
and a patient device card.

In August 2020, the FDA updated its analysis of medical device reports of breast implant illness and breast implant associated lymphoma. In
this update, the FDA updated the table on the agency’s BIA-ALCL webpage to include a total of 733 unique cases and 36 patient deaths
globally as of January 5, 2020, which reflect an increase of 160 new cases and 3 deaths since the early-July 2019 update.

We do not produce the types of rough textured implants that have been involved in these reports. To date, no cases of BIA-ALCL have been
reported in patients with Motiva Implants. Furthermore, there have been no reported cases of BIA-ALCL in patients with smooth implants with
no history of previously having a textured device. Future clinical studies or clinical experience may indicate that breast implants expose
potentially genetically predisposed patients to greater risks of BIA-ALCL, which may reduce demand for silicone implants generally, expose
us to product liability claims, as well as to class actions and other lawsuits. These impacts may occur in the absence of any specific linkage
with our products. Moreover, if cases of BIA-ALCL or other complications are discovered in the future and/or are reported in patients with
Motiva Implants, we could be subject to mandatory product recalls, suspension or withdrawal of our regulatory licensure for sale in one or
more

countries, and significant legal liability. Any of these may have an adverse effect on our business or operating results, or a negative impact on
our share price.

The loss of members of our executive management team or other employees, or other turnover in our management team, could
adversely affect our business.

Our success in implementing our business strategy depends largely on the skills, experience and performance of members of our executive
management team and other key employees, including Juan José Chacón Quirós, our Chief Executive Officer, Roberto de Mezerville, our
Chief Technology Officer, Rajbir Denhoy, our Chief Financial Officer, and Pratip Dastidar, our Head of Global Operations. The collective
efforts of each of these persons, and others working with them as a team, are critical as we continue to develop our tests and technologies
and pursue our research and development and sales programs. In addition, we have experienced significant changes in our executive
leadership in the past twelve months, including in our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer positions. As a result of the difficulty
in locating qualified new management and other key employees, the loss or incapacity of existing members of our executive management
team could adversely affect our operations. If we were to lose one or more key employees, we could experience difficulties in finding qualified
successors, competing effectively, developing our technologies and implementing our business strategy. In addition, changes to strategic or
operating goals, which can often times occur with the appointment of new executives and directors, can create uncertainty, may negatively
impact our ability to execute quickly and effectively, and may ultimately be unsuccessful. Executive leadership transition periods are often
difficult as the new executives gain detailed knowledge of our operations, and friction can result from changes in strategy and management
style. Management turnover inherently causes some loss of institutional knowledge, which can negatively affect strategy and execution. We
do not have “key person” life insurance on our senior executives, and the loss of any of the key team members would have a negative impact
to our business and financial results. In addition, the job market in Costa Rica and other locations in which we operate has recently become
more competitive and we are competing for talent with major multinational corporations which have significantly more resources than us, and
we may find new difficulties in retaining our most talented employees.

In addition, we rely on collaborators, consultants and advisors, including scientific and clinical advisors, to assist us in formulating our
research and development and commercialization strategy. Our collaborators, consultants and advisors are generally employed by
employers other than us and may have commitments under agreements with other entities that may limit their availability to us.

We continue to incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote
substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We are subject to
the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the other rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and
the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. The expenses that are required in order to adequately prepare for being a public company are material,
and compliance with the various reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies require considerable time and attention of
management. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules of the SEC and national securities exchanges have imposed various
requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls. Our
management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. These rules and regulations continue
to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules
and regulations make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to
accept reduced policy limits on coverage or incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events
could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified personnel to serve on our Board of Directors, our board committees, or
as executive officers.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure
controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial
reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, we are required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting. Our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we incur substantial
accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire
additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company

36

Table of Contents

experience and technical accounting knowledge. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if
we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to
be material weaknesses, the market price of our shares could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the
SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

Our ability to successfully implement our business plan and comply with Section 404 requires us to be able to prepare timely and accurate
financial statements. We expect that we will need to continue to improve existing, and implement new operational and financial systems,
procedures and controls to manage our business effectively. Any delay in the implementation of, or disruption in the transition to, new or
enhanced systems, procedures or controls, may cause our operations to suffer and we may be unable to conclude that our internal control
over financial reporting is effective and to obtain an unqualified report on internal controls from our auditors as required under Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This, in turn, could have an adverse impact on trading prices for our common shares, and could adversely affect our
ability to access the capital markets.

We have made multiple acquisitions in the past, and in the future we may acquire other businesses or form joint ventures or make
investments in other companies or technologies. If we are not successful in integrating these businesses, as well as identifying
and controlling risks associated with the past operations of these businesses, we may incur significant costs, receive penalties or
other sanctions from various regulatory agencies, and/or incur significant diversions of management time and attention.

We believe our business growth will be enhanced if we continually seek opportunities to enhance and broaden our product offerings. As part
of our business strategy, we may pursue acquisitions or licenses of assets, or acquisitions of businesses. We also may pursue strategic
alliances and joint ventures that leverage our core technology and industry experience to expand our product offerings or sales and
distribution resources. We have acquired companies and/or assets and licensed assets in a variety of countries, including Brazil and several
European countries.

We may do more of these types of transactions in the future and may also form strategic alliances and joint ventures. We may not be able to
find suitable partners or acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete such transactions on favorable terms, if at all. If we
make any acquisitions, we may not be able to integrate these acquisitions successfully into our existing business, and we could assume
unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future acquisitions also could result in significant write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent
liabilities, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Integration of an
acquired company may also disrupt ongoing operations and require management resources that would otherwise focus on developing our
existing business. We may experience losses related to investments in other companies, which could have a negative effect on our results of
operations. We may not identify or complete these transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all, and we may not realize
the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, license, strategic alliance or joint venture. To finance such a transaction, we may choose to issue
common shares as consideration, which would dilute the ownership of our shareholders. If the price of our common shares is low or volatile,
we may not be able to acquire other companies or fund a joint venture project using our shares as consideration. Alternatively, it may be
necessary for us to raise additional funds for acquisitions through public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available on terms
that are favorable to us, or at all.

We do not know whether we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business, product or technology. The success of any given
acquisition may depend on our ability to retain any key employees related thereto, and we may not be successful at retaining or integrating
such key personnel. Integrating any business, product or technology we acquire could be expensive and time-consuming, disrupt our
ongoing business, impact our liquidity, and/or distract our management. If we are unable to integrate any acquired businesses, products or
technologies effectively, our business may suffer. Whether as a result of unsuccessful integration, unanticipated costs, including those
associated with assumed liabilities and indemnification obligations, negative accounting impact, or other factors, we may not realize the
economic benefits we anticipate from acquisitions. In addition, any amortization or charges resulting from the costs of acquisitions could
increase our expenses.

Unfavorable global economic conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets. The
global financial crisis caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and

37

Table of Contents

credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn, could result in a variety of risks to our business, including general economic
pressure on our customers’ patients. Elective aesthetic procedures, including breast augmentation, are typically not covered by insurance
and are less of a priority than other items for those patients that have lost their jobs, are furloughed, have reduced work hours or have to
allocate their cash to other priorities. A weak or declining economy could also strain our manufacturers or suppliers, possibly resulting in
supply disruption, or cause our customers or distributors to delay making payments for our products. Any of the foregoing could harm our
business and we cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely affect our
business.

We have significant exposure to the economic and political situations in emerging market countries, and developments in these
countries could materially impact our financial results, or our business more generally.

Many of the countries in which our products are sold are emerging markets. Our global growth strategy contemplates the expansion of our
existing sales activities in Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific region as well as North America. Our exposure to
emerging markets has increased in recent years, as have the number and importance of our distributor arrangements. Economic and political
developments in Brazil and other emerging markets, including economic crises, currency inflation, or political instability, have had in the past,
and may have in the future, a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, as these markets
continue to grow, competitors may seek to enter these markets and existing market participants will likely try to aggressively protect or
increase their market shares. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and our inability to gain or hold market
share, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our results of operations could be affected by fluctuations in currency rates.

We present our results of operations in U.S. dollars, which is our reporting currency. However, as of December 31, 2021, the majority of our
revenues are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar - primarily the euro, and the Brazilian real, and the British pound. As of
December 31, 2021, the majority of our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars or in Costa Rican colones, which are linked to the U.S.
dollar. In the future, we expect to have significant revenues and expenses denominated in these non-U.S. currencies. As such, unfavorable
fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate revenues, expenses and income, as well as
assets and liabilities, into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect during or at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, changes in the
value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the British pound, the euro, and the Brazilian real will affect our revenues, operating income and the
value of balance sheet items originally denominated in other currencies. These changes would cause our growth in consolidated earnings
stated in U.S. dollars to be higher or lower than our growth in local currency when compared against other periods. We do not currently
engage in currency hedging arrangements to protect us from fluctuations in the exchange rates of the euro and other currencies in relation to
the U.S. dollar (and/or from inflation of such currencies), and we may be exposed to material adverse effects from such movements. We
cannot predict any future trends in rates of inflation or exchange rates of other currencies against the U.S. dollar, and there can be no
assurance that any contractual provisions will offset their impact, or that any future currency hedging activities will be successful.

Continued international expansion of our business will expose us to business, regulatory, political, operational, financial and
economic risks associated with doing business internationally.

Our products are commercially available in more than 80 countries, and we operate subsidiaries in the United States, Costa Rica, Brazil, and
several European countries. Our business strategy contemplates continued international expansion, including partnering with medical device
distributors, and introducing Motiva Implants and other planned products outside the United States. The sale and shipment of our products
internationally, as well as the purchase of components from international sources, subjects us to potential trade, import and export, and
customs regulations and laws.

Compliance with these regulations and laws is costly and exposes us to penalties for non-compliance. Any failure to comply with applicable
legal and regulatory obligations could impact us in a variety of ways that include, but are not limited to, significant criminal, civil and
administrative penalties, including imprisonment of individuals, fines and penalties, denial of export or import privileges, seizure of shipments,
restrictions on certain business activities

38

Table of Contents

and exclusion or debarment from government contracting. Also, the failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could
result in the disruption of our shipping, marketing and sales activities.

In addition, several of the countries in which we sell our products or conduct our operations are, to some degree, subject to political,
economic or social instability. Doing business in Costa Rica and other countries outside the United States involves a number of other risks,
including:

•

•

compliance with the free zone regime regulations under which the manufacturing sites operate;

different regulatory requirements for device approvals in international markets;

• multiple, conflicting and changing laws and regulations such as tariffs and tax laws, export and import restrictions, employment laws,

regulatory requirements and other governmental approvals, permits and licenses;

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

potential failure by us or our distributors to obtain and/or maintain regulatory approvals for the sale or use of our products in various
countries;

difficulties in managing global operations;

logistics and regulations associated with shipping products, including infrastructure conditions and transportation delays;

limits on our ability to penetrate international markets if our distributors do not execute successfully;

governmental price controls, differing reimbursement regimes and other market regulations;

financial risks, such as longer payment cycles, difficulty enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable, and exposure to
currency exchange rate fluctuations;

reduced protection for intellectual property rights, or lack of them in certain jurisdictions, forcing more reliance on our trade secrets, if
available;

economic weakness, political and economic instability, including wars, terrorism and political unrest, outbreak of disease, boycotts,
curtailment of trade and other business restrictions;

the British exit from the EU, including with respect to its effect on the value of the British pound relative to other currencies;

failure to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, including its books and records provisions and its anti-bribery provisions, by
maintaining accurate information and control over sales activities and distributors’ activities;

failure to comply with restrictions on the ability of companies to do business in foreign countries, including restrictions on foreign
ownership of telecommunications providers imposed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control;

unexpected changes in tariffs, trade barriers and regulatory requirements;

compliance with tax, employment, immigration and labor laws;

taxes, including withholding of payroll taxes;

currency fluctuations, which could result in increased operating expenses and reduced revenue, and other obligations incident to
doing business in another country;

• workforce uncertainty in countries where labor unrest is more common than in the United States;

•

•

production shortages resulting from any events affecting raw material supply or manufacturing capabilities abroad; and

business and shipping interruptions resulting from natural or other disasters including earthquakes, volcanic activity, hurricanes,
floods and fires.

Any of these risks, if encountered, could harm our future international expansion and operations and, consequently, have an adverse effect
on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows

39

Table of Contents

Any disruption at our existing facilities could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our headquarters are located in Costa Rica, and all of our main manufacturing activities are conducted in two ISO-13485 and GMP
compliant manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica through Establishment Labs, S.A. Despite our efforts to maintain and safeguard our
manufacturing facilities, including acquiring insurance and adopting maintenance and health and safety protocols, vandalism, terrorism or a
natural or other disaster, such as earthquake, volcanic activity, fire or flood, could damage or destroy our inventory of finished goods, cause
substantial delays in our operations and manufacturing, result in the loss of key information and cause us to incur additional expenses. Our
insurance may not cover our losses in any particular case. In addition, regardless of the level of insurance coverage, damage to our facilities
may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in insurance costs and availability, and future insurance requirements could adversely affect our profitability or our
risk management profile.

We hold a number of insurance policies, including product liability insurance, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, general liability
insurance, property insurance and workers’ compensation insurance. If the costs of maintaining adequate insurance coverage increase
significantly in the future, our operating results could be adversely affected. Likewise, if any of our current insurance coverage should
become unavailable to us or become economically impractical, we would be required to operate our business without indemnity from
commercial insurance providers. If we operate our business without insurance, we could be responsible for paying claims or judgments
against us that would have otherwise been covered by insurance, which would adversely affect our results of operations or financial
condition.

Risks Related to Manufacturing and Other Third-Party Relationships

Our operations involve hazardous materials and we and third parties with whom we contract must comply with environmental laws
and regulations, which can be expensive and restrict how we do business, and could expose us to liability if our use of such
hazardous materials causes injury.

Our manufacturing processes currently require the controlled use of potentially harmful chemicals, including highly flammable solvents. We
cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury to employees or third parties from the use, storage, handling or disposal of
these materials. In the event of contamination or injury, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our
resources or any applicable insurance coverage we may have. Additionally, we are subject to, on an ongoing basis, federal, state and local
laws and regulations governing the use, storage, handling and disposal of these materials and specified waste products. These are
particularly stringent in California, where NuSil, one of our key suppliers, is located. The cost of compliance with these laws and regulations
may become significant and could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In the event of an
accident or if we otherwise fail to comply with applicable regulations, we could lose our permits or approvals or be held liable for damages or
penalized with fines.

We rely on third parties to conduct certain components of our clinical studies, and those third parties may not perform
satisfactorily, including failing to meet deadlines for the completion of such studies, which could interfere with or delay our ability
to get regulatory approval or commercialize our products.

We rely on third parties, such as contract research organizations, or CROs, clinical data management organizations, medical institutions and
clinical investigators, to perform various functions for our clinical trials. Our reliance on these third parties for clinical development activities
reduces our control over these activities but does not relieve us of our responsibilities. We remain responsible for ensuring that each of our
clinical studies is conducted in accordance with the general investigational plan and protocols for the study. Moreover, the International
Council for Harmonization, or ICH, and the FDA require us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices, for
conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical studies to ensure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that
the rights, integrity and confidentiality of patients in clinical studies are protected. Furthermore, these third parties may also have
relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual
duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical studies in accordance with regulatory requirements or our stated protocols, we will
not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, regulatory approvals for our planned products and will not be able to, or may be
delayed in our efforts to, successfully commercialize our planned products.

40

Table of Contents

We rely on a single-source, third-party supplier for medical-grade long-term implantable silicone, which is the primary raw material
used in our Motiva Implants. If this supplier were to increase prices for this raw material over time or experience interruptions in its
ability to supply us with this raw material, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We rely on NuSil, as the sole supplier of medical-grade silicone used in our Motiva Implants as well as other products that we manufacture
under contract to other customers. To our knowledge, NuSil is the only supplier of such raw materials with the appropriate filings with the
FDA and other regulatory bodies to enable the manufacturing of products with our requirements. NuSil supplies our major competitors with
raw material as well, and at least two of these are larger-volume customers of NuSil than we are.

If NuSil becomes unable or unwilling to supply sufficient quantities of medical-grade silicone of the specifications required for our products,
we may not be able to replace this supply source quickly, or at all. Similarly, they may become unable or unwilling to manufacture our needed
raw materials in compliance with regulatory requirements, or their manufacturing facilities may not be able to maintain compliance with
regulatory requirements. Any replacement supplier would have to be qualified with the relevant regulatory authorities, which is an expensive
and time-consuming process during which we may experience an interruption in our manufacturing operations. We may also be unsuccessful
in negotiating favorable terms with such a supplier. Any of these contingencies would likely affect the financial results of our operations and
may have a negative impact on our share price. In particular, if we are not able to establish a replacement vendor for our medical-grade
silicone, we would be unable to manufacture our Motiva Implants as well as other products that we manufacture under contract to other
customers until such time as a replacement vendor is identified, which would likely significantly affect the financial results of our operations
and have a significantly negative impact on our share price.

We are in the process of renegotiating our current supply agreement with NuSil, which is due to expire on March 31, 2022. There can be no
assurance that NuSil will agree to continue to supply us with medical-grade silicone following the expiration of our contract on terms that are
acceptable to us, or at all. This would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations for the
reasons set forth above.

In addition, our relationship with NuSil involves other risks, including but not limited to the following:

•

•

•

•

it may not be able, or willing, to manufacture silicone raw materials with our agreed-upon specifications;

it may not be able, or willing, to manufacture our needed raw materials in compliance with regulatory requirements, or our its
manufacturing facilities may not be able to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements;

it may not be able to supply sufficient quantities of each raw material quickly enough for us to respond to rapid increases in demand;

it may unintentionally convey information to our competitors that is helpful in understanding our proprietary compositions and other
trade secrets of our manufacturing processes;

• we may be subject to price fluctuations if we fail to meet certain minimum order requirements, or if our existing contract expires or is

renegotiated;

•

•

it may lose access to critical services and components, resulting in interruption in manufacture or shipment of medical-grade silicone;

its facilities may be affected by earthquakes, wildfires, mud slides or other natural disasters, which could delay or impede production
of our raw materials;

• we may be required to obtain regulatory approvals related to any change in our supply chain;

• NuSil may wish to discontinue supply of products to us due to its existing relationships with our competitors;

• NuSil may stop supply and claim ownership of intellectual property on materials associated with future products; and

• NuSil or its parent entity may encounter financial or other hardships unrelated to our demand for products, which could negatively

impact their ability to fulfill our orders and support our regulatory approvals.

Various factors outside our direct control, including the reliance on single-source suppliers, may adversely affect manufacturing
and supply of our Motiva Implants and other products.

We currently manufacture Motiva Implants at our facilities in the Coyol Free Zone, Alajuela, Costa Rica, under the multi-country MDSAP
protocol. Our Qid Safety Technology microtransponders are manufactured by contract manufacturers with final testing and packaging at a
manufacturing supplier facility in Regensburg, Germany, with additional inspection of the units at our facilities in Coyol, Costa Rica, prior to
approval for inclusion in Motiva Implants. If demand for our current products and our planned products increases more rapidly than we
anticipate, or if we secure regulatory approval to commercialize our products in additional geographies, we will need to either expand our
manufacturing capabilities or outsource to other manufacturers. The manufacture of these products in compliance with ISO standards and
the FDA’s regulations requires significant expertise and capital investment, including the development of advanced manufacturing techniques
and process controls. Manufacturers of medical device products often encounter difficulties in production, including difficulties with production
costs and yields, quality control, quality assurance testing, shortages of qualified personnel, as well as compliance with strictly enforced FDA
requirements, other federal and state regulatory requirements, and foreign regulations.

We currently purchase components for the Qid Safety Technology microtransponders under purchase orders and do not have long-term
contracts with most of the suppliers of the materials included in these products. We rely on NuSil Technology, LLC, or NuSil, as the sole
supplier of medical-grade silicone used in our Motiva Implants as well as other products that we manufacture under contract to other
customers. See the risk factor below titled “We rely on a single-source, third-party supplier for medical-grade silicone, which is the primary
raw material used in these products. If this supplier were to increase prices for these raw materials over time or experience interruptions in
their ability to supply us with this raw material, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.” In
addition, the suppliers of certain packaging components and the surgical tools that we sell with Motiva Implants, including the cannulas,
retractors, and insertion sleeves, are all purchased by us from single-source suppliers.

If our single-source and other suppliers were to delay or stop producing our components, or if the prices they charge us were to increase
significantly, or if they elected not to sell to us at all or on commercially reasonable terms, we would need to identify and initiate relationships
with alternative suppliers, if possible. We could experience delays in manufacturing our products or the interruption of the availability of
Motiva Implants or our other products for sale, while finding another acceptable supplier, which would impact our business, financial condition
and results of operations. Even if such alternative suppliers are available on commercially reasonable terms, the changes could also result in
increased costs associated with qualifying the new materials and in increased operating costs. Further, any prolonged disruption in a
supplier’s operations could have a significant negative impact on our ability to manufacture and deliver products in a timely manner and as a
result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The manufacturing, sterilization and distribution of our Motiva Implants and other products are technically challenging. Changes that our
suppliers may make, or additional requirements from regulatory agencies, are outside of our direct control and can have an impact on our
processes, on quality, and on the successful delivery of products to our customers. Mistakes and mishandling are not uncommon and can
affect supply and delivery. Some of these risks include:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

failure to complete sterilization on time or in compliance with the required regulatory standards;

transportation and import and export risk, particularly given the global nature of our supply and distribution chains;

delays in analytical results or failure of analytical techniques that we depend on for quality control and release of products;

natural or other disasters, labor disputes, financial distress, lack of raw material supply, issues with facilities and equipment or other
forms of disruption to business operations affecting our manufacturer or its suppliers;

latent defects that may become apparent after products have been released and that may result in a recall of such products;

contamination of our raw materials or manufactured products; and

inclusion of vendors of raw materials not in compliance with ISO-13485 requirements.

42

Table of Contents

As referenced above in this risk factor, some of the components used in our Motiva Implants and our other products are currently single-
sourced, and substitutes for these components might not be obtained easily or may require substantial redesign or manufacturing
modifications related to our specifications or due to regulatory requirements. Any significant problem experienced by one of our single-source
suppliers may result in a delay or interruption in the supply of components or products to us because the number of third-party manufacturers
with the necessary manufacturing and regulatory expertise and facilities is limited and certification of a new supplier may be complex and
time consuming. Any delay or interruption would likely lead to a delay or interruption in our manufacturing or distribution operations and/or
adversely affect our ability to sell Motiva Implants. The inclusion of substitute components or products must meet our specifications and could
require us to qualify the new supplier with the appropriate regulatory authorities. The added time and cost to arrange for alternative suppliers
could have a material adverse effect on our business. New manufacturers of any current or planned product would be required to qualify
under applicable regulatory requirements and would need to have sufficient rights under applicable intellectual property laws to the design
and method of manufacturing the planned product. Obtaining the necessary FDA or international approvals or other qualifications under
applicable regulatory requirements and ensuring non-infringement of third-party intellectual property rights could result in a significant
interruption of supply and could require the new manufacturer to bear significant additional costs that may be passed on to us.

A substantial proportion of our sales are through exclusive distributors, and we do not have direct control over the efforts these
distributors may use to sell our products. If our relationships with these third-party distributors deteriorate, or if these third-party
distributors fail to sell our products or engage in activities that harm our reputation, or fail to adhere to medical device regulations,
our financial results may be negatively affected.

Historically, our sales model has been to sell primarily through distributors rather than through our own sales force, with the notable exception
of Brazil and several European countries where we are selling directly, but, in the future, we may utilize a hybrid sales model that includes
both distributors and a direct sales effort. We believe that our reliance on distributors improves the economics of our business, as we do not
carry the high fixed costs of a direct sales force in many of the countries in which our Motiva Implants are sold. If we are unable to maintain
or enter into such distribution arrangements on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our products in
certain countries. Furthermore, distributors can choose the level of effort that they apply to selling our products relative to others in their
portfolio. The selection, training, and compensation of a distributors’ sales personnel are within their control rather than our own and may
vary significantly in quality from distributor to distributor.

In addition, although our contract terms require our distributors to comply with all applicable laws regarding the sale of our products, including
anti-competition, anti-money laundering, and sanctions laws, we may not be able to ensure proper compliance. If our distributors fail to
effectively market and sell our products in full compliance with applicable laws, our results of operations and business may suffer.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Data Security

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, the value of our technology could be materially adversely
affected, harming our business and competitive position.

In addition to our patented technology and products, we rely upon confidential proprietary information, including trade secrets, unpatented
know-how, technology and other proprietary information, to develop and maintain our competitive position. Any disclosure to or
misappropriation by third parties of our confidential proprietary information could enable competitors to quickly duplicate or surpass our
technological achievements, thus eroding our competitive position in the market. We seek to protect our confidential proprietary information,
in part, by confidentiality agreements with our employees and our collaborators and consultants. We also have agreements with our
employees and selected consultants that obligate them to assign their inventions to us. These agreements are designed to protect our
proprietary information, however, we cannot be certain that our trade secrets and other confidential information will not be disclosed or that
competitors will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, or that technology relevant to our business will not be independently
developed by a person that is not a party to such an agreement. Furthermore, if the employees, consultants or collaborators that are parties
to these agreements breach or violate the terms of these agreements, we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach or violation,
and we could lose our trade secrets through such breaches or violations. Further, our trade secrets could be disclosed, misappropriated or
otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors. In addition, intellectual property laws in foreign countries may
not

43

Table of Contents

protect trade secrets and confidential information to the same extent as the laws of the United States. If we are unable to prevent disclosure
of the intellectual property related to our technologies to third parties, we may not be able to establish or maintain a competitive advantage in
our market, which would harm our ability to protect our rights and have an adverse effect on our business.

If we are not able to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products and technologies, or if the scope of our
patents is not sufficiently broad, we may not be able to effectively maintain our market leading technology position.

Our success depends in large part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other intellectual property protection in the United States
and in other countries with respect to our proprietary technology and products.

The patent position of medical device and diagnostic companies generally is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual
questions for which legal principles remain unresolved. In recent years, patent rights have been the subject of significant litigation. As a
result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of the patent rights we rely on are highly uncertain. Pending and
future patent applications may not result in patents being issued which protect our technology or products or which effectively prevent others
from commercializing competitive technologies and products. Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the
United States and other countries may diminish the value of the patents we rely on or narrow the scope of our patent protection. The laws of
other countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Publications of discoveries in the scientific literature
often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18
months after filing, or in some cases not at all. Therefore, we cannot be certain that we were the first to make the inventions claimed in our
patents or pending patent applications, or that we or were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions.

Even if the patent applications we rely on issue as 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. The issuance of a patent is
not conclusive as to its scope, validity or enforceability, and the patents we rely on may be challenged in the courts or patent offices in the
United States and abroad. Such challenges may result in patent claims being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, which could limit
our ability to stop or prevent us from stopping others from using or commercializing similar or identical technology and products, or limit the
duration of the patent protection of our technology and products. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and
regulatory review of new planned products, patents protecting such products might expire before or shortly after such products are
commercialized. As a result, our patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products
similar or identical to ours or otherwise provide us with a competitive advantage.

We may not be able to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on all of our planned products throughout the world may be prohibitively expensive to us.
Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and,
further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have patent protection but where enforcement is not as strong as in
the United States. These products may compete with our products in jurisdictions where we do not have any issued patents and our patent
claims or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from so competing. Many companies have
encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in international jurisdictions. The legal systems of
certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection,
which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or marketing of competing products in violation of our proprietary
rights generally. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial cost and divert our efforts and
attention from other aspects of our business.

We may become involved in legal proceedings to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, which could be expensive,
time consuming, or unsuccessful.

Competitors may infringe or otherwise violate the patents we rely on, or our other intellectual property rights. To counter infringement or
unauthorized use, we may be required to file infringement claims, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Any claims that we assert
against perceived infringers could also provoke these parties to

44

Table of Contents

assert counterclaims against us alleging that we infringe their intellectual property rights. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court
may decide that a patent we are asserting is invalid or unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at
issue on the grounds that the patents we are asserting do not cover the technology in question. An adverse result in any litigation proceeding
could put one or more patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of
discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be
compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation.

Interference or derivation proceedings provoked by third parties or brought by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, or any other
patent authority may be necessary to determine the priority of inventions or other matters of inventorship with respect to patents and patent
applications. We may become involved in proceedings, including oppositions, interferences, derivation proceedings, inter partes reviews,
patent nullification proceedings, or re-examinations, challenging our patent rights or the patent rights of others, and the outcome of any such
proceedings are highly uncertain. An adverse determination in any such proceeding could reduce the scope of, or invalidate, important
patent rights, allow third parties to commercialize our technology or products and compete directly with us, without payment to us, or result in
our inability to manufacture or commercialize products without infringing third-party patent rights. Our business also could be harmed if a
prevailing party does not offer us a license on commercially reasonable terms, if any license is offered at all. Litigation or other proceedings
may fail and, even if successful, may result in substantial costs and distract our management and other employees. We may also become
involved in disputes with others regarding the ownership of intellectual property rights. If we are unable to resolve these disputes, we could
lose valuable intellectual property rights.

Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant
expenses and could distract our technical or management 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 shares. 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. Uncertainties resulting from the

45

Table of Contents

initiation and continuation of intellectual property litigation or other proceedings could have an adverse effect on our ability to compete in the
marketplace.

The medical device industry is characterized by patent litigation and we could become subject to litigation that could be costly,
result in the diversion of management's time and efforts, require us to pay damages or prevent us from marketing our existing or
future products.

Patent litigation is prevalent in the medical device and diagnostic sectors. Our commercial success depends in part upon our ability and that
of our distributors, contract manufacturers, and suppliers to manufacture, market and sell our planned products, and to use our proprietary
technologies without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the proprietary rights or intellectual property of third parties. We may
become party to, or be threatened with, future adversarial proceedings or litigation regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our
products and technology. Third parties may assert infringement claims against us based on existing or future intellectual property rights. If we
are found to infringe a third-party’s intellectual property rights, we could be required to obtain a license from such third party to continue
developing and marketing our products and technology. We may also elect to enter into such a license in order to settle pending or
threatened litigation. However, we may not be able to obtain any required license 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 and
could require us to pay significant royalties and other fees. We could be forced, including by court order, to cease commercializing the
infringing technology or product. In addition, we could be found liable for monetary damages. A finding of infringement could prevent us from
commercializing our planned products in commercially important territories, or force us to cease some of our business operations, which
could harm our business. Many of our employees were previously employed at, and many of our current advisors and consultants are
employed by, universities or other biotechnology, medical device or pharmaceutical companies, including our competitors or potential
competitors. Although we try to ensure that our employees, advisors and consultants do not use the proprietary information or know-how of
others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we, or these employees, have used or disclosed intellectual property, including
trade secrets or other proprietary information, of any such employee’s former employer. These and other claims that we have
misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties can have a similar negative impact on our business to the
infringement claims discussed above.

Even if we are successful in defending against intellectual property claims, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to such claims may
cause us to incur significant expenses, and could distract our technical and management 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 price of our common
shares. Such litigation or proceedings could substantially increase our operating losses and reduce our resources available for development
activities. We may not have sufficient financial or other resources to adequately conduct such litigation or proceedings. Some of our
competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their substantially
greater financial resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of litigation or other intellectual property related
proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace.

Obtaining and maintaining 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 or applications will be due to be paid
by us to the USPTO and various governmental patent agencies outside of the United States in several stages over the lifetime of the patents
or applications. The USPTO and various non-U.S. governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural,
documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process. In many cases, an inadvertent lapse can be
cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules. However, there are situations in which
noncompliance 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. In such an event, our competitors might be able to use our technologies and this circumstance would have a material
adverse effect on our business.

46

Table of Contents

If we fail to comply with our obligations in our intellectual property agreements, we could lose intellectual property rights that are
important to our business.

We are a party, and expect to become party in the future, to certain intellectual property agreements that impose various diligence, milestone
payment, royalty, insurance and other obligations on us. If we fail to comply with these obligations, any licensor may have the right to
terminate such agreements, in which event we may not be able to develop and market any product that is covered by such agreements.
Termination of such agreements, or reduction or elimination of our rights under such agreements, may result in our having to negotiate new
or reinstated arrangements on less favorable terms, or our not having sufficient intellectual property rights to operate our business. The
occurrence of such events could harm our business and financial condition.

The risks described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K pertaining to our intellectual property rights also apply to any intellectual
property rights that we may license, and any failure by us or any future licensor to obtain, maintain, defend and enforce these rights could
have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our internal computer systems, or those used by third parties which we rely on, may fail or suffer security breaches.

Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer systems, or those used by third parties which we rely on, are
vulnerable to damage from computer viruses and unauthorized access, malware, natural disasters, fire, terrorism, war and
telecommunication, electrical failures, cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions over the Internet, attachments to emails, persons inside our
organization, or persons with access to systems inside our organization. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through
cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the
number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. While we have not
experienced any such material system failure or security breach to our knowledge to date, if such an event were to occur and cause
interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our development programs and our business operations. For
example, the loss of data from completed, ongoing or future studies could result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts and significantly
increase our costs to recover or reproduce the data. To the extent that any disruption or security breach were to result in a loss of, or damage
to, our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liability and the further
development and commercialization of our current and future products could be delayed. In addition, any such disruption or security breach
could harm our reputation, erode customer confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures, and negatively impact our ability to
attract new customers.

Our failure to adequately protect personal information in compliance with evolving legal requirements could harm our business.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including legally protected patient health information, credit card
information and personally identifiable information. We collect this kind of information on our customers for purposes of servicing potential
warranty claims and for post-marketing safety vigilance. These data protection and privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and
may result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions.

There are a number of state, federal and international laws protecting the privacy and security of health information and personal data. As
part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009, or ARRA, Congress amended the privacy and security provisions of the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. HIPAA imposes limitations on the use and disclosure of an individual’s protected
health information by certain health care providers, health care clearinghouses, and health insurance plans, collectively referred to as
covered entities, that involve the creation, use, maintenance or disclosure of protected health information. The HIPAA amendments also
impose compliance obligations and corresponding penalties for non-compliance on individuals and entities that provide services to health
care providers and other covered entities, collectively referred to as business associates. Most recently, on December 10, 2020, HHS issued
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which if finalized, would make changes to some of HIPAA’s regulatory requirements, which would impact
us, to the extent we are a business associate. ARRA also made significant increases in the penalties for improper use or disclosure of an
individual’s protected health information under HIPAA and extended enforcement authority to state attorneys general. The amendments also
create notification requirements for individuals whose protected health information has been inappropriately accessed or disclosed,
notification requirements to federal regulators and in some cases, notification to local and national media. Notification is not required under
HIPAA if the health information that is improperly used or disclosed is deemed secured in accordance with encryption or other standards
developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS. Most states have laws requiring notification of affected
individuals and state regulators in the event of a breach of personal information,

47

Table of Contents

which is a broader class of information than the protected health information protected by HIPAA. Many state laws impose significant data
security requirements, such as encryption or mandatory contractual terms to ensure ongoing protection of personal information.

In addition, even when HIPAA does not apply, according to the FTC, failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal
information secure constitutes unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the FTCA, 15 U.S.C § 45(a).
The FTC expects a company’s data security measures to be reasonable and appropriate in light of the sensitivity and volume of consumer
information it holds, the size and complexity of its business, and the cost of available tools to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities.
Medical data is considered sensitive data that merits stronger safeguards. The FTC’s guidance for appropriately securing consumers’
personal information is similar to what is required by the HIPAA Security Rule.

Many foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the EU, Canada, Australia and other relevant jurisdictions, have laws and
regulations concerning the collection and use of personal or sensitive data obtained from their residents or by businesses operating within
their jurisdiction. For example, the European Commission recently adopted the General Data Protection Regulation, or the GDPR, effective
on May 25, 2018, that supersedes current EU data protection legislation, imposes more stringent EU data protection requirements and
provides for greater penalties for noncompliance. The GDPR applies to any company established in the EU as well as to those outside the
EU if they collect and use personal data in connection with the offering goods or services to individuals in the EU or the monitoring of their
behavior. The GDPR enhances data protection obligations for processors and controllers of personal data, including, for example, expanded
disclosures about how personal information is to be used, limitations on retention of information, mandatory data breach notification
requirements and onerous new obligations on services providers. Non-compliance with the GDPR can trigger steep fines of up to €20 million
or 4% of total worldwide annual revenues, whichever is higher. Given the breadth and depth of changes in data protection obligations,
meeting the GDPR’s requirements requires time, resources and a review of the technology and systems currently in use against the GDPR’s
requirements.

We may be at risk of enforcement actions taken by certain EU data protection authorities while we continue to build our business practices to
ensure that all transfers of personal data to us from the European Economic Area are conducted in compliance with all applicable regulatory
obligations, the guidance of data protection authorities and evolving best practices. We may find it necessary to establish systems to
maintain personal data originating from the EU in the European Economic Area, which may involve substantial expense and may cause us to
need to divert resources from other aspects of our business, all of which may adversely affect our business.

Our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or to protect such data, could result in enforcement actions against us, including
fines, imprisonment of company officials and public censure, claims for damages by end-customers and other affected individuals, damage to
our reputation and loss of goodwill, any of which could harm on our operations, financial performance, and business. Evolving and changing
definitions of personal data and personal information, within the European Union, the United States, and elsewhere, may limit or inhibit our
ability to operate or expand our business, including limiting strategic partnerships that may involve the sharing of data. Moreover, if the
relevant laws and regulations change, or are interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices or the operation
of our products, we may need to expend resources in order to change our business operations, data practices, or the manner in which our
products operate. Even the perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may harm our reputation and inhibit adoption of our
products.

There is the risk that the limits we obtained for our cyber liability insurance may not cover the total loss experienced in the event of a data
security incident, including the financial loss, legal costs, and business and reputational harm, particularly if there is an interruption to our
systems. Additionally, there is the risk of a data privacy or security incident by an employee, which may expose us to liability. If personal
information of our customers or employees is misappropriated, our reputation with our customers and employees may be injured resulting in
loss of business and/or morale, and we may incur costs to remediate possible injury to our customers and employees or be required to pay
fines or take other action with respect to judicial or regulatory actions arising out of such incidents.

Risks Related to Regulatory and Political Environment

The regulatory approval process is expensive, time consuming and uncertain, and may prevent us from obtaining approvals for the
commercialization of Motiva Implants or our planned products.

The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, selling, import, export, marketing and distribution of medical devices are subject to
extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries, where regulations differ from
country to country. Our products are registered to be sold in more than 80 countries, but we are not permitted to market our planned products
in the United States until we receive the requisite approval or clearance from the FDA. We have not submitted an application or received
marketing approval for Motiva Implants or any planned products in the United States. Obtaining PMA approval for sale of a medical device
from the FDA can be a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process. In addition, failure to comply with FDA and other applicable U.S. and
foreign regulatory requirements may subject us to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions, including the following:

• warning letters;

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

civil or criminal penalties and fines;

injunctions;

suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approval;

suspension of any ongoing clinical studies;

voluntary or mandatory product recalls and publicity requirements;

refusal to accept or approve applications for marketing approval of new devices or supplements to approved applications filed by us;

restrictions on operations, including costly new manufacturing requirements; or

seizure or detention of our products or import bans.

Prior to receiving approval to commercialize any of our planned products in the United States or abroad, we may be required to demonstrate
with substantial evidence from preclinical and well-controlled clinical studies, and to the satisfaction of the FDA or other regulatory authorities
abroad, that such planned products are safe and effective for their intended uses. Results from preclinical studies and clinical studies can be
interpreted in different ways. Even if we believe the preclinical or clinical data for our planned products are promising, such data may not be
sufficient to support approval by the FDA and other regulatory authorities. Administering any of our planned products to humans may
produce undesirable side effects, which could interrupt, delay or cause suspension of clinical studies of our planned products and result in
the FDA or other regulatory authorities denying approval of our planned products for any or all targeted indications.

Regulatory approval from the FDA is not guaranteed, and the approval process is expensive and may take several years. The FDA also has
substantial discretion in the approval process. Despite the time and expense exerted, failure can occur at any stage, and we could encounter
problems that cause us to abandon or repeat clinical studies, or perform additional preclinical studies and clinical studies. The number of
preclinical studies and clinical studies that will be required for FDA approval varies depending on the planned product, the indication that the
planned product is designed to address and the regulations applicable to any particular planned product. The FDA can delay, limit or deny
approval of a planned product for many reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:

▪

▪

▪

▪

a planned product or one or more of its features may not be deemed safe or effective;

FDA officials may not find the data from preclinical studies and clinical studies sufficient;

the FDA might not approve our manufacturing or our third-party supplier’s processes or facilities; or

the FDA may change its approval policies or adopt new regulations.

If Motiva Implants or any planned products fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy in preclinical and clinical studies or do not gain regulatory
approval, our business and results of operations will be harmed.

49

Table of Contents

Even if we receive regulatory approval for a planned product, we will be subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and continued
regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense and subject us to penalties if we fail to comply with applicable
regulatory requirements.

When a regulatory approval is obtained, the approved product and its manufacturer are subject to continual review by the FDA or non-U.S.
regulatory authorities. Our regulatory approval for Motiva Implants, as well as any regulatory approval that we receive for Motiva Implants or
for any planned products may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed. Future approvals may
contain requirements for potentially costly post-marketing follow-up studies to monitor the safety and efficacy of the approved product. In
addition, we are subject to extensive and ongoing regulatory requirements by the FDA and other regulatory authorities with regard to the
labeling, packaging, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion and recordkeeping for our products. In addition, we are required
to comply with regulations regarding the manufacture of Motiva Implants, which include requirements related to quality control and quality
assurance as well as the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Further, regulatory authorities must inspect these
manufacturing facilities and determine they are in compliance with FDA good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the Quality
System Regulation, or QSR, before the products can be approved. These facilities are subject to continual review and periodic inspections by
the FDA and other regulatory authorities for compliance with QSR regulations. If we or a third party discover previously unknown problems
with a product, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facility where the product is
manufactured, a regulatory authority may impose restrictions on that product, the manufacturer or us, including requiring withdrawal of the
product from the market or suspension of manufacturing.

We are subject to extensive and dynamic medical device regulation, which may impede or hinder the approval or sale of our
products and, in some cases, may ultimately result in an inability to obtain approval of certain products or may result in the recall
or seizure of previously approved products.

Our products, marketing, sales and development activities and manufacturing processes are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by
various regulatory agencies and governing bodies. Under the US Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDC Act), medical devices must receive
FDA clearance or approval or an exemption from such clearance or approval before they can be commercially marketed in the U.S. In the
EU, we are required to comply with applicable medical device directives (including the Medical Devices Directive and the European Medical
Device Regulation) and obtain CE Mark certification in order to market medical devices. In addition, exported devices are subject to the
regulatory requirements of each country to which the device is exported. Many countries require that product approvals be renewed or
recertified on a regular basis, generally every four to five years. The renewal or recertification process requires that we evaluate any device
changes and any new regulations or standards relevant to the device and conduct appropriate testing to document continued compliance.
Where renewal or recertification applications are required, they may need to be renewed and/or approved in order to continue selling our
products in those countries. There can be no assurance that we will receive the required approvals for new products or modifications to
existing products on a timely basis or that any approval will not be subsequently withdrawn or conditioned upon extensive post-market study
requirements.

The European Union regulatory bodies finalized a new Medical Device Regulation (MDR) in 2017, which replaced the existing directives and
provided three years for transition and compliance. After a one year delay, the MDR became effective on May 26, 2021. The MDR changes
several aspects of the existing regulatory framework, such as updating clinical data requirements and introducing new ones, such as Unique
Device Identification, or UDI. We and the Notified Bodies who will oversee compliance to the new MDR face uncertainties as the MDR is
rolled out and enforced by the Commission and EEA Competent Authorities, creating risks in several areas, including the CE Marking
process and data transparency, in the upcoming years.

Regulations regarding the development, manufacture and sale of medical devices are evolving and subject to future change. We cannot
predict what impact, if any, those changes might have on our business. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product
or manufacturer could result in fines, delays or suspensions of regulatory clearances or approvals, seizures or recalls of products, physician
advisories or other field actions, operating restrictions and/or criminal prosecution. We may also initiate field actions as a result of a failure to
strictly comply with our internal quality policies. The failure to receive product approval clearance on a timely basis, suspensions of regulatory
clearances, seizures or recalls of products, physician advisories or other field actions, or the withdrawal of product approval by regulatory
authorities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

50

Table of Contents

The medical technology industry is complex and intensely regulated at the federal, state, and local levels and government
authorities may determine that we have failed to comply with applicable laws or regulations.

As a company which manufactures and distributes medical devices and technologies, we are subject to numerous regional, national and
local laws and regulations. There are significant costs involved in complying with these laws and regulations. Moreover, if we are found to
have violated any applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to civil and/or criminal damages, fines, sanctions or penalties, including
exclusion from participation in governmental healthcare programs. We may also be required to change our method of operations. These
consequences could be the result of current conduct or even conduct that occurred a number of years ago. We also could incur significant
costs merely if we become the subject of an investigation or legal proceeding alleging a violation of these laws and regulations. We cannot
predict whether any government authority will determine that we are not operating in accordance with law, or whether the laws will change in
the future and impact our business.

Under some circumstances, government investigations can also be initiated by private individuals under whistleblower provisions which may
be incentivized by the possibility for private recoveries. Responding to inquiries and enforcement activities can be costly and disruptive to our
business operations, even when the allegations are without merit. We also may be subject to other financial sanctions or be required to
modify our operations. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

Health care reform measures could hinder or prevent our planned products’ commercial success.

In the United States, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the health
care system in ways that could affect our future revenue and future profitability and the future revenue and future profitability of our potential
customers. Federal and state lawmakers regularly propose and, at times, enact legislation that could result in significant changes to the
health care system, some of which are intended to contain or reduce the costs of medical products and services. For example, one of the
most significant health care reform measures in decades, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care
and Education Reconciliation Act, or PPACA, was enacted in 2010. The PPACA contains a number of provisions, including those governing
enrollment in federal health care programs, reimbursement changes and fraud and abuse measures, all of which will impact existing
government health care programs and will result in the development of new programs.

Some provisions of the PPACA have yet to be implemented, and there have been judicial and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of
the PPACA, as well as prior efforts by the Trump administration to repeal or replace certain aspects of the PPACA. Furthermore, the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act passed in December of 2017 included a provision that would repeal one of the primary pillars of the law, the PPACA’s individual
mandate penalty that essentially assessed a monetary penalty or fine on certain individuals who fail to maintain qualifying health coverage for
all or part of a year. Congress may consider other legislation to repeal or replace elements of the PPACA on a provision-by-provision basis.
We cannot assure you that the PPACA, as currently enacted or as amended in the future, will not adversely affect our business and financial
results and we cannot predict how future federal or state legislative or administrative changes relating to health care reform will affect our
business. Most recently, under President Biden, the Department of Justice dropped support of two Supreme Court cases challenging PPACA
in addition to a case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On January 28, 2021, President Biden signed an executive order to
expand access to PPACA coverage, stating that it is the “policy” of the Biden administration to protect and strengthen the PPACA and
directing agencies to consider suspending, revising, or rescinding actions related to President Trump’s executive orders that are inconsistent
with this policy position. However, other legislators continue efforts to repeal and replace other elements of the PPACA. While the ultimate
outcome of PPACA is not yet known, any changes that result in price controls reduce access to and reimbursement for care or add additional
regulations may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We cannot predict the impact that such actions against the PPACA or other health care reform under the Biden administration will have on
our business, and there is uncertainty as to what healthcare programs and regulations may be implemented or changed at the federal and/or
state level in the United States, or the effect of any future legislation or regulation. However, it is possible that such initiatives could have an
adverse effect on our ability to obtain approval and/or successfully commercialize products in the United States in the future. For example,
any changes that reduce, or impede the ability to obtain, reimbursement for the type of products we intend to

51

Table of Contents

commercialize in the United States (or our products more specifically, if approved) or reduce medical procedure volumes could adversely
affect our business plan to introduce our products in the United States.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the PPACA was enacted. For example, the Budget Control Act
of 2011, among other things, created the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to recommend proposals for spending reductions to
Congress. The Joint Select Committee did not achieve a targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021,
which triggered the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs, including aggregate reductions to Medicare payments
to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year, starting in 2013, which, due to subsequent legislative amendments to the statute, including the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, will remain in effect through 2027 unless additional Congressional action is taken. We cannot predict whether
any additional legislative changes will affect our business.

There likely will continue to be legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at containing or lowering the cost
of health care. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future or their full impact. The continuing efforts of the
government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of health care services to contain or reduce costs of health
care may adversely affect:

our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for our products;

our ability to generate revenue and achieve or maintain profitability; and

the availability of capital.

Exposure to United Kingdom political developments, including the outcome of its withdrawal from membership in the European
Union, could be costly and difficult to comply with and could seriously harm our business.

In June 2016, a referendum was held in the U.K. which resulted in a majority voting in favor of the U.K. withdrawing from the E.U. (commonly
referred to as "Brexit"). Pursuant to legislation approved by the U.K. Parliament and the E.U. Parliament in January 2020, the U.K. withdrew
from the E.U. with effect from 11 p.m. (GMT) on January 31, 2020 on the terms of a withdrawal agreement agreed between the U.K. and the
E.U. in October 2019. On December 24, 2020, the U.K. and E.U. agreed to a trade deal, or the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which
was ratified by the U.K. on December 30, 2020 and the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union in April 2021, and
became effective on May 1, 2021 (after being provisionally effective since January 1, 2021). There are still a number of areas of uncertainty
in connection with the future of the U.K. and its relationship with the E.U. and the application and interpretation of the Trade and Cooperation
Agreement, and Brexit related matters may take several years to be clarified and resolved. For example, because a significant proportion of
the regulatory framework in the U.K. is currently derived from E.U. directives and regulations, Brexit could result in material changes to the
regulatory regime applicable to many of our current operations. Although the Trade and Cooperation Agreement offers U.K. and E.U.
companies preferential access to each other’s markets, ensuring imported goods will be free of tariffs and quotas, economic relations
between the U.K. and the E.U. will now be on more restricted terms than existed previously. Therefore, at this time, we cannot predict the
impact that the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and any future agreements contemplated under the terms of the Trade and Cooperation
Agreement will have on our on our future business efforts to commercialize our products in the U.K. and E.U. Accordingly, it is possible that
new terms of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement may adversely affect our operations and financial results. We are currently in the
process of evaluating our own risks and uncertainties to ascertain what financial, trade, regulatory and legal implications the Trade and
Cooperation Agreement could have on our operations in the U.K. and otherwise. Finally, uncertainty surrounding Brexit has contributed to
recent fluctuations in the U.K. economy as a whole which could experience future disruptions. As a result, Brexit could cause financial and
capital markets within and outside the U.K. or the E.U. to constrict, thereby negatively impacting our ability to finance our U. K. operations
which could also have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may adversely affect European and worldwide economic and market
conditions, significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets
and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets, including increased volatility in interest rates and foreign
exchange rates. The potential impacts could adversely impact other global economies, and in particular, the European economy, a region
which accounted for approximately 41% and 44% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31,

52

Table of Contents

2021 and 2020, respectively. In the first quarter of 2019, we completed the migration of our CE Mark certificates, originally issued by BSI UK
Notified Body, to BSI Group The Netherlands B.V., which is a European Notified Body designated in The Netherlands. We continue to
actively monitor the ongoing potential impacts of Brexit and will seek to minimize its impact on our business through review of our existing
regulatory requirements, contractual arrangements and obligations, particularly in the European region. Any of these effects of Brexit, among
others, could adversely affect our business, business opportunities, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Almost one year after it was introduced to the House of Commons, the Medical Devices Bill was granted Royal Assent on February 11, 2021,
becoming law as the Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021. The purpose of the Act is to create a structure for the UK Government to
legislate for updates or amendments to the existing laws on human and veterinary medicine, clinical trials, and medical devices. We will need
to comply with the Act on a going forward basis.

The political situation in the United States can affect the ability of our company to conduct business in certain areas or countries if
new trade conditions are imposed or enforced by the U.S. government.

There could be negative consequences to our company’s revenue if the U.S. government unexpectedly changes its trade policies towards
determined geographies or countries. These policy changes can include such things as trade barriers, which serve to limit or prevent
international trade. The U.S. government may request additional funds or tariffs in exchange for the right to export items into the country.
Tariffs or quotas may be used to protect domestic producers from foreign competition. Changes may include the modification or withdrawal of
free trade agreements already in place. This also can have a large effect on the profits of our company because it either cuts revenues as a
result of a tax on imports/exports or restricts the amount of revenues that can be earned.

Risks Related to Taxation

Tax authorities may disagree with our positions and conclusions regarding certain tax positions, resulting in unanticipated costs,
taxes or non-realization of expected benefits.

A tax authority may disagree with tax positions that we have taken, which could result in increased tax liabilities. For example, the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service or another tax authority could challenge the amounts paid between our affiliated companies pursuant to our
intercompany arrangements and transfer pricing policies. A tax authority may take the position that material income tax liabilities, interest and
penalties are payable by us, in which case, we expect that we might contest such assessment. Contesting such an assessment may be
lengthy and costly and if we were unsuccessful in disputing the assessment, the implications could increase our anticipated effective tax rate,
where applicable. In addition, we may be subject to additional tax liabilities, which could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. The application, interpretation and enforcement value-added tax, or VAT, and other taxes and
related regulations applicable to medical device companies is complex and evolving.

We are a multinational organization faced with increasingly complex tax issues in many jurisdictions, and changes in tax laws or
their application to the operation of our business could adversely impact our operating results and our business.

We conduct operations in multiple jurisdictions, and we are subject to certain taxes, including income, sales and use, employment, value
added and other taxes, in the United States and other jurisdictions in which we do business. A change in the tax laws in the jurisdictions in
which we do business, including an increase in tax rates or an adverse change in the treatment of an item of income or expense, possibly
with retroactive effect, could result in a material increase in the amount of taxes we incur.

Our determination of our tax liability is subject to review by applicable U.S. and foreign tax authorities. Any adverse outcome of such a review
could harm our operating results and financial condition. The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax
liabilities requires significant judgment and, in the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the
ultimate tax determination is complex and uncertain. Moreover, as a multinational business, we have subsidiaries that engage in many
intercompany transactions in a variety of tax jurisdictions where the ultimate tax determination is complex and uncertain. The taxing
authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge our methodologies, which could impact our financial position and operating
results. Historically, we have allocated some of our employees’ and contractors’ time across multiple business entities in the international
jurisdictions in which we operate. If it were

53

Table of Contents

determined that we had misclassified our employees’ or contractors’ employment status or certain of our expenditures under local laws, we
may be subjected to penalties or be required to pay withholding taxes for, extend employee benefits to, provide compensation for unpaid
overtime to, or otherwise incur substantially greater expenses with respect to such employees and contractors. Any of the foregoing
circumstances could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

We are periodically reviewed and audited by tax authorities with respect to income and non-income taxes. Tax authorities may disagree with
certain positions we have taken, and we may have exposure to additional income and non-income tax liabilities which could have an adverse
effect on our operating results and financial condition. Such authorities could impose additional taxes, interest and penalties, claim that
various withholding requirements apply to us or our subsidiaries or assert that benefits of tax treaties are not available to us or our
subsidiaries. In addition, our future effective tax rates could be favorably or unfavorably affected by changes in tax rates, changes in the
valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation.
Such changes could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

As a result of these and other factors, the ultimate amount of tax obligations owed may differ from the amounts recorded in our financial
statements and any such difference may harm our operating results in future periods in which we change our estimates of our tax obligations
or in which the ultimate tax outcome is determined.

Our ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income and certain other tax attributes may be subject to certain
limitations.

Federal and California laws impose restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credit
carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership of the Company, which constitutes an “ownership change” as defined by Internal
Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383. Generally, an ownership change occurs if the percentage of the value of the shares that are owned by
one or more direct or indirect “five percent shareholders” increases by more than 50% over their lowest ownership percentage at any time
during the applicable testing period. If we have experienced an “ownership change” at any time since our formation, we may already be
subject to limitations on our ability to utilize our existing net operating losses and other tax attributes. We have not experienced an ownership
change in the past that would materially impact the availability of its net operating losses and tax credits. Nevertheless, future changes in our
share ownership, which may be outside of our control, may trigger an “ownership change” and, consequently, Section 382 and 383
limitations. We have not completed a Section 382 and 383 analysis to determine if an ownership change has occurred. Until such analysis is
completed, we cannot be sure that the full amount of the existing net operating loss carryforwards will be available to us, even if we do
generate taxable income before their expiration. In addition, under the newly enacted U.S. federal income tax law, federal net operating
losses incurred in 2018 and in future years may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal net operating losses is
limited.

U.S. holders of our common shares may suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment
company.

A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in any
taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income; or (2) at least 50% of the average quarterly value of its
total gross assets is attributable to assets that produce “passive income” or are held for the production of passive income. Based on the
project composition of our income and valuation of our assets, we do not believe we were a PFIC in 2020, and we do not expect to be a PFIC
for our current taxable year or to become one in the future. However, because our PFIC status is subject to a number of uncertainties, neither
we nor our tax advisors can provide any assurances regarding our PFIC status. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S.
holder holds our common shares, the U.S. holder may be subject to adverse tax consequences. U.S. investors should consult their advisors
regarding the application of these rules and the availability of any potential elections. See “Material British Virgin Island and U.S. Federal
Income Tax Considerations.”

If a United States person is treated as owning at least 10% of our common shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S.
federal income tax consequences.

If a United States person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly, or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of our ordinary
shares, such person may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each “controlled foreign corporation” in our group (if
any). We may become a controlled foreign corporation. In addition, because our group includes one or more U.S. subsidiaries, certain of our
non-U.S. subsidiaries could be

54

Table of Contents

treated as controlled foreign corporations (regardless of whether or not we are treated as a controlled foreign corporation). A U.S.
shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to report annually and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of
“Subpart F income,” “global intangible low-taxed income,” and investments in U.S. property by controlled foreign corporations, regardless of
whether we make any distributions. An individual that is a U.S. shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would
not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a U.S. shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to
comply with these reporting obligations may subject a U.S. shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of
limitations with respect to such shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting. We cannot
provide any assurances that we will assist investors in determining whether we or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated as a controlled
foreign corporation or whether any investor is treated as a U.S. shareholder with respect to any such controlled foreign corporation or furnish
to any U.S. shareholders information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. A U.S.
investor should consult its advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to an investment in our common shares.

Discontinuation of preferential tax treatments we currently enjoy or other unfavorable changes in tax law could result in additional
compliance obligations and costs.

Discontinuation of preferential tax treatments we currently enjoy or other unfavorable changes in tax law could result in additional compliance
obligations and costs. We are currently the beneficiary of a tax holiday in Costa Rica pursuant to which we are subject to a tax at a 0% rate.
However, there can be no assurance that we will continue to qualify for or receive such favorable tax treatment. If we fail to maintain such
favorable tax treatment we may be subject to tax in Costa Rica at a significantly higher rate.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities
Our share price may be volatile, and purchasers of our securities could incur substantial losses.

Our common shares have only recently become publicly traded, and we expect that the price of our common shares will likely be volatile.
The securities markets in general, and the market for biotechnology and medical device companies in particular, have experienced extreme
volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. Additionally, the lack of an active market may
impair the value of our common shares, or your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider
reasonable. Although our common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, if we fail to satisfy the continued listing standards, we
could be de-listed, which would negatively impact the price of our common shares. The market price for our shares may be influenced by
many factors, including the following:

•

▪

▪

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

our ability to successfully commercialize, and realize revenues from sales of, Motiva Implants;

the success of competitive products or technologies;

results of clinical studies of Motiva Implants or planned products or those of our competitors;

regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries, especially changes in laws or regulations applicable to our
products;

introductions and announcements of new products by us, our commercialization partners, or our competitors, and the timing of these
introductions or announcements;

actions taken by regulatory agencies with respect to our products, clinical studies, manufacturing processes or sales and marketing
terms;

variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;

the success of our efforts to acquire or in-license additional products or planned products;

developments concerning our collaborations, including but not limited to those with our sources of manufacturing supply and our
commercialization partners;

developments concerning our ability to bring our manufacturing processes to scale in a cost-effective manner;

announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

55

Table of Contents

•

•

•

•

•

developments or disputes concerning patents or other proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain
patent protection for our products;

our ability or inability to raise additional capital and the terms on which we raise it;

the recruitment or departure of key personnel;

changes in the structure of health care payment systems;

negative shifts in the economy effecting the number of aesthetic breast procedures;

• market conditions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors;

•

•

•

•

•

•

actual or anticipated changes in earnings estimates or changes in securities analyst recommendations regarding our common
shares, other comparable companies or our industry generally;

trading volume of our common shares;

sales of our common shares by us or our shareholders;

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;

general economic, industry and market conditions; and

the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

These broad market and industry factors may harm the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. In the
past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation,
if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and may
identify additional material weaknesses in the future that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material
misstatements of our consolidated financial statements. If we fail to establish and maintain effective control over financial
reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be adversely affected.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Prior to the completion of our IPO, we were a private
company with limited accounting and compliance personnel and other resources to address our internal control over financial reporting.

It  was  determined  that  our  primary  user  access  controls  (i.e.  provisioning,  de-provisioning,  and  quarterly  user  access  review)  to  ensure
appropriate segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to
appropriate Company personnel were not operating effectively. These user access control deficiencies resulted in a lack of segregation of
duties  with  respect  to  certain  user  roles.  Automated  process-level  controls  and  manual  controls  that  are  dependent  upon  the  information
derived  from  such  financially  relevant  systems  were  also  determined  to  be  ineffective  as  a  result  of  such  deficiency.  As  a  result,  it  was
determined that a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2021.

In addition, in connection with the preparation and audit of our 2020 financial statements, we had one material weakness. It was determined
that we did not perform an adequate review over the manual consolidation process, resulting in an audit adjustment. We implemented a
number of measures to address the material weakness, which was fully remediated as of December 31, 2021.

If additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, it may materially
adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner and impact investor
confidence in our Company.

56

Table of Contents

The actions we have taken are subject to continued review, supported by confirmation and testing by management as well as audit
committee oversight. The identification and remediation of additional material weaknesses in the future, could adversely affect our ability to
report financial information, including our filing of quarterly or annual reports with the SEC on a timely and accurate basis and prohibit us from
producing timely and accurate consolidated financial statements, which may adversely affect our share price and we may be unable to
maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.

Our directors and principal shareholders continue to maintain the ability to control or significantly influence all matters submitted
to shareholders for approval.

As of December 31, 2021, our executive officers, directors and shareholders who own more than 5% of our outstanding common shares, in
the aggregate, assuming the exercise of all options held by such persons, beneficially owned shares representing approximately 56.6% of
our common shares. As a result, if these shareholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control or significantly influence
all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these shareholders, if they
choose to act together, will control or significantly influence the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of our company on terms that other
shareholders may desire.

Risks Related to Being a British Virgin Islands Company

Rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, and, accordingly, you may have fewer
protections as a shareholder.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the BVI Act, and the common law
of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the
fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the British
Virgin Islands and by the BVI Act. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent
in the British Virgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British
Virgin Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as
clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British
Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states (such as Delaware) have
more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. As a result of the foregoing, holders of our ordinary shares may have
more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major shareholders than they would as
shareholders of a U.S. company.

British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of one
avenue to protect their interests.

British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The
circumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect of any such
action, may result in the rights of shareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a
company organized in the United States. Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that
corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are also unlikely to recognize or enforce judgments of courts in the
United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law, or to impose liabilities based on certain liability provisions of the U.S.
securities laws that are penal in nature, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands. There is no statutory recognition in the British
Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands will generally recognize and
enforce the non-penal judgment of a non-U.S. court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits. This means that even if
shareholders were to sue us successfully, they may not be able to recover anything to make up for the losses suffered.

British Virgin Islands law differs from the laws in effect in the United States, and U.S. investors may have difficulty enforcing civil
liabilities against us, our directors or members of senior management.

Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we may indemnify and hold our directors harmless against all
claims and suits brought against them, subject to limited exceptions. Furthermore,

57

Table of Contents

to the extent allowed by law, the rights and obligations among or between us, any of our current or former directors, officers and employees
and any current or former shareholder will be governed exclusively by the laws of the British Virgin Islands and subject to the jurisdiction of
the British Virgin Islands courts, unless those rights or obligations do not relate to or arise out of their capacities as such. Although there is
doubt as to whether U.S. courts would enforce these provisions in an action brought in the United States, under U.S. securities laws, these
provisions could make judgments obtained outside of the British Virgin Islands more difficult to enforce against our assets in the British Virgin
Islands or jurisdictions that would apply British Virgin Islands law.

The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide limited protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have
limited or no recourse if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.

Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is limited statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions
of the BVI Act dealing with shareholder remedies, as summarized under “Description of Share Capital-Shareholders’ Rights Under British
Virgin Islands Law Generally.” One protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent
documents of a British Virgin Islands company and are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordance with the BVI Act
and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company. As such, if those who control the Company have
disregarded the requirements of the BVI Act or the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, then
the courts will likely grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are the following: (i) an act complained of which is
illegal; (ii) acts that constitute oppression, unfair discrimination or unfair prejudice against the minority where the wrongdoers control the
Company; (iii) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right to vote; and (iv) acts where we have not
complied with provisions requiring approval of a special or extraordinary majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights
afforded to minority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.

Provisions in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and under British Virgin Islands law could make
an acquisition of us more difficult and may prevent attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or
other change in control of us that shareholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise receive
a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common
shares, thereby depressing the market price of our common shares. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by
our shareholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for shareholders to replace members of our Board
of Directors. Because our Board of Directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in
turn affect any attempt by our shareholders to replace current members of our management team. Among others, these provisions include
the following:

•

•

•

•

•

•

our Board of Directors is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms which may delay or prevent a change of our
management or a change in control;

our Board of Directors has the right to elect directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our Board of Directors or the
resignation, death or removal of a director, which will prevent shareholders from being able to fill vacancies on our Board of
Directors;

our shareholders are not able to act by written consent, and, as a result, a holder, or holders, controlling a majority of our shares are
not able to take certain actions other than at annual shareholders’ meetings or special shareholders’ meetings;

our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not allow cumulative voting in the election of directors, which
limits the ability of minority shareholders to elect director candidates;

amendments of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will require the approval of shareholders holding
66 2/3% of our outstanding voting shares (unless amended by the Board of Directors);

our shareholders are required to provide advance notice and additional disclosures in order to nominate individuals for election to our
Board of Directors or to propose matters that can be acted upon at a shareholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a
potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation

58

Table of Contents

of proxies to elect the acquiror’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company; and

•

our Board of Directors is able to issue, without shareholder approval, preferred shares with voting or other rights or preferences that
could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us.

Moreover, because we are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, we are governed by the provisions of BVI Business Companies Act,
2004, as amended, or the BVI Act, which provide for different shareholder rights than a Delaware corporation. See, for example, the risk
factor titled “Rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, and, accordingly, you may have fewer
protections as a shareholder.”

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-
looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the sections contained in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K entitled Item 1A. “Risk Factors”; Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations”; and Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-
Looking Statements” preceding Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Our line of silicone gel-filled breast implants, branded as Motiva Implants, is the centerpiece of our medical technology platform. Our post-
market surveillance data (which was not generated in connection with a United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, pre-market
approval, or PMA, study, but was patient or practitioner reported rather than collected at defined follow-ups) and published third-party data
indicates that Motiva Implants show low rates of adverse events (including rupture, capsular contracture, and safety related reoperations)
that we believe compare favorably with those of our competitors. We believe the proprietary technologies that differentiate our Motiva
Implants enable improved safety and aesthetic outcomes and drive our revenue growth. We have developed other complementary products
and services, which are aimed at further enhancing patient outcomes.

We have devoted a majority of our resources since inception to developing our Motiva Implants, which we began selling in October 2010. We
have incurred net losses in each year since inception, and we have financed our operations primarily through equity financings and debt
financings.

Our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $126.7 million and $84.7 million, respectively, an increase of $42.0
million, or 49.6%. Net losses were $41.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $38.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $206.4 million.

Our cash balance as of December 31, 2021 was $53.4 million.

We are in the process of expanding our manufacturing facilities and corporate offices in the Coyol Free Zone in Costa Rica. The initial $35.3
million project estimate includes approximately 145,000 square feet of facility space and would initially increase our manufacturing capacity
by approximately 400,000 units per year, and potentially increase capacity by 800,000 units with an additional incremental $4.6 million
investment in manufacturing equipment for a total facility space of approximately 170,000 square feet. We held the groundbreaking
ceremony for our new Sulàyöm Innovation Campus in Costa Rica in the second quarter of 2021. Construction on the new building began
following finalization and execution of certain contractual arrangements in the third quarter of 2021. The initial phase of construction of the
cold-shell structure is being funded by the Coyol Free Zone, with Establishment Labs having the option to purchase the land and cold shell
building. See Note 3, “Balance Sheet Accounts” for additional information regarding this construction project and our right to purchase the
title to the land and cold shell building currently under construction.

We have made and continue to make significant investments in additional manufacturing capacity, marketing, customer service, and a direct
sales force in certain territories like Brazil and several countries in Europe in order to drive and support further adoption of our Motiva
Implants. We expect that we will continue to incur losses at least in the near term as we expand our organization to support planned sales
growth, while also continuing to invest in research and development of our products, clinical trials to enable regulatory approval in the United
States, and in other commercialization efforts. We also expect to incur significant additional expenditures as a public company. As a result,
we may need to raise additional capital through equity and debt financings in order to fund our operations. Our operating results may
fluctuate on a quarterly or annual basis in the future, and our growth or operating results may not be consistent with predictions made by
securities analysts, if any. If we are unable to achieve our revenue growth objectives, we may not be able to achieve profitability.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We commenced sales of our Motiva Implants in October 2010 and these products have historically accounted for the majority of our
revenues. Sales of our Motiva breast implants accounted for over 98% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021, and we
expect our revenues to continue to be driven primarily by sales of these products. We primarily derive revenue from sales of our Motiva
Implants to two types of customers: (1) medical distributors and (2) direct sales to physicians, hospitals, and clinics.

We recognize revenue related to the sales of products at the time of shipment, except for a portion of our direct sales revenue that is
generated from the sale of consigned inventory maintained at physician, hospital, and clinic locations. For consignment sales, revenue is
recognized at the time we are notified by the consignee that the product has been implanted. Our contracts with distributors do not typically
contain right of return or price protection and have no post-delivery obligations.

We expect our revenue to increase as we enter new markets, expand awareness of our products in existing markets, and grow our distributor
network and direct sales force. We also expect our revenue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors, including seasonal
fluctuations in demand for Motiva Implants. We are also affected by foreign currency fluctuations.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

Our implants are manufactured at our two facilities in Costa Rica. Cost of revenue is primarily the cost of silicone but also includes other raw
materials, packaging, components, quality assurance, labor costs, as well as manufacturing and overhead expenses. Cost of revenue also
includes depreciation expense for production equipment, and amortization of certain intangible assets.

We calculate gross margin as revenue less cost of revenue for a given period divided by revenue. Our gross margin may fluctuate from
period to period depending, in part, on the efficiency and utilization of our manufacturing facilities, targeted pricing programs, and sales
volume based on geography, customer and product type.

Operating Expenses

Sales, General and Administrative
Sales, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses primarily consist of compensation, including salary, share-based compensation and
employee benefits for our sales and marketing personnel, and for administrative personnel that support our general operations such as
information technology, executive management, financial accounting, customer service, and human resources personnel. SG&A expenses
also includes costs attributable to freight, marketing, sales support, travel, legal services, financial audit fees, insurance costs, and consulting
services. We expect to incur additional SG&A expenses in connection with being a public company as we are no longer able to rely on the
“emerging growth company” exemption we were previously afforded under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act.

We expect our SG&A expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as our business grows and we continue
to invest in our sales, marketing, medical education, training and general administration resources to build our corporate infrastructure.
However, we expect our SG&A expenses to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over the long term, although our SG&A expenses may
fluctuate from period to period due to the timing of expenses related to our sales and marketing campaigns.

Research and Development

Our research and development, or R&D, activities primarily consist of engineering and research programs associated with our products
under development, as well as R&D activities associated with our clinical development activities. Our R&D expenses primarily consist of
compensation, including salary, share-based compensation and employee benefits for our R&D and clinical personnel. We also incur
significant expenses for supplies, development prototypes, design and testing, clinical study costs and product regulatory and consulting
expenses.

We expect our R&D expenses to continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our products under development,
as well as initiate and prepare for additional clinical studies. We received an approval of an investigational device exemption, or IDE, from the
FDA in March 2018 to initiate a clinical trial and enrolled the first patient in April 2018. In August 2019, we completed all patient surgeries for
the IDE aesthetic

62

Table of Contents

cohorts, which include primary augmentation and revision augmentation. As of June 2020, we successfully completed enrollment in the
revision reconstruction sub-cohort and we are continuing to enroll subjects in the remaining reconstruction cohort. Although we continue to
activate trial sites and secure Institutional Review Board approvals for our IDE clinical trial, the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed enrollment
in the reconstruction cohort. We plan to complete enrollment of 800 patients in the study across 40 sites in the United States, Germany and
Sweden in fiscal 2022. The results of the study are expected to support a PMA submission to the FDA. We estimate that total costs for this
IDE clinical trial will be between $30.0 million and $40.0 million over ten years since the inception of the study. We also have other products
under development for which we may be required to conduct clinical trials in future periods in order to receive regulatory approval to market
these products.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of cash and non-cash interest related to outstanding debt and amortization of debt discounts. As of
December 31, 2021, we had $65.0 million in outstanding principal under our term loans.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

Change in fair value of derivative instruments consists of changes in the fair value of the put and call option liabilities associated with
outstanding debt instruments.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
Change in fair value of contingent consideration consists of changes in the fair value of contingent equity consideration related to past asset
acquisitions.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net primarily consists of foreign currency gains/losses and interest income.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense consists primarily of income taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Due to our history of losses,
with the exception of Belgium and JAMM Technologies, Inc., we maintain a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets including net
operating loss carry-forwards, R&D tax credits, capitalized R&D and other book versus tax differences.

Business Update Regarding COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a substantial public health and economic challenge around the world, resulting in a disruption in our
operations in fiscal 2020, and continued to adversely affect our business in fiscal 2021. Business uncertainties created by the COVID-19
pandemic have continued in fiscal 2022. We continue to closely monitor developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and our decisions
will continue to be driven by the health and well-being of our employees, our distributor and plastic surgeon customers, and their patients
while maintaining operations to support our customers and their patients in the near-term.

•

Surgery Deferrals: From late March 2020 to mid-May 2020, among other impacts on our business related to the pandemic, plastic
surgeons and their patients deferred surgical procedures in which our products otherwise could have been used, including surgeries
for our clinical trial participants. This decrease in demand for our products recovered to varying degrees in the latter half of May and
into June 2020, though still below pre-pandemic levels through the rest of fiscal 2020, as certain geographies reopened after an
initial improvement in COVID-19 infection rates and allowed plastic surgeons to resume providing procedures. However, the impact
from the COVID-19 outbreak in fiscal 2020 has not had a material effect on the Company’s liquidity or financial position. During fiscal
2021, we saw an increase in surgical activity as women’s interest in plastic surgery exceeded pre-pandemic levels, and most
geographies modified procedures to mitigate infection risk to allow returning to normalized operating levels. However, if a resurgence
of infections is observed, we may see continued volatility through at least the duration of the pandemic as geographies respond to
current local conditions. The duration of further deferrals of surgical procedures, the magnitude of such deferrals, the timing and
extent of the economic impact of the pandemic, and the pace at which the economy recovers therefrom, cannot be determined at this
time. We continue to work closely with our plastic surgeon customers, distributors and suppliers to navigate through this unforeseen
event while maintaining flexible operations and investing for future growth.

• Operations: Our sales, marketing and research and development efforts have continued since the outbreak of the pandemic.

However, the pandemic has adversely affected our business despite the steps taken to mitigate its impact. To protect the safety,
health and well-being of our employees, distributor and plastic surgeon customers, and communities, we implemented preventative
measures including travel

63

Table of Contents

restrictions and requiring all office-based employees to work from home, except for those related to manufacturing and select others,
as permitted under governmental orders.

Our manufacturing, distribution and supply chain has largely been uninterrupted, but could be disrupted as a result of the pandemic
due to staffing shortages, production slowdowns, stoppages, or disruptions in delivery systems.

2021 Results: The first and second quarters of 2021 resulted in record quarterly revenue, which pointed to the recovering global
business environment and normalizing medical protocols as countries managed new COVID-19 infections. The third quarter of 2021
saw a decline in revenue as compared to the previous quarters in fiscal 2021, following more normalized seasonal patterns. Despite
this decline, surgical activity remained above pre-pandemic levels during 2021, resulting in record annual revenue in fiscal 2021 and
record quarterly revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in revenue was driven by an increase in demand, especially in
our European and Latin American markets, and our efforts to expand direct sales in multiple geographies.

2020 Results: Given that the onset of COVID-19 occurred toward the end of the first quarter of 2020, our total revenue for the second
quarter of 2020 was significantly lower compared to the same period in 2019. Our revenue for the third and fourth quarters of 2020,
however, recovered and was comparable or exceeded the revenue in corresponding quarters of fiscal 2019.

•

•

• Outlook: At this time, the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of

operations is uncertain and cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy and will depend on future developments that are also
uncertain and cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy. However, management does not expect future results of operations to
be materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

For additional information on the various risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of
operations, please see Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report.

Revenue increased $42.0 million, or 49.6%, to $126.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $84.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to share gains in global markets and the global economies recovering from
the COVID-19 pandemic declared in March 2020 that resulted in multiple geographies experiencing restrictions on elective surgical
procedures and a shut-down or slow down in business activity deemed to be non-essential.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

Cost of revenue increased $9.1 million, or 28.3%, to $41.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $32.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in cost of revenue is in line with the increase in revenue due to the economic recovery from
the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross margin increased to 67.4% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 62.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020,
primarily due to the benefit of geographic mix, greater operating efficiencies, and enhanced manufacturing planning capabilities.

Sales, General and Administrative Expense

SG&A expense increased $25.6 million, or 38.4%, to $92.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $66.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to a $12.1 million increase in personnel and related costs
due to increased headcount, a $5.6 million increase in sales and marketing expenses, a $5.0 million increase in consulting fees in part due to
added costs in preparation for compliance with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and a $1.9 million increase in freight as we were
impacted by increased shipping volumes as well as rate increases globally.

Research and Development Expense

R&D expense increased $4.5 million, or 32.8%, to $18.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $13.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in R&D expense was primarily due to a $4.8 million increase in personnel cost due to
increased headcount, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in expenditures related to our IDE clinical trial in the United States, primarily
consisting of fees to third parties to manage the clinical trial.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $0.3 million, or 3.3%, to $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as

65

Table of Contents

compared to $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to $0.7 million of direct costs to amend the
Madryn Credit Agreement in August 2020.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

Change in fair value of derivative instruments for the year ended December 31, 2021 resulted in a gain of $0.7 million, as compared to a gain
of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change in fair value of derivative instruments was due to changes in the fair value
of Madryn derivatives embedded in the Madryn Credit Agreement we originally entered into in August 2017.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

The liability related to the contingent consideration was extinguished in 2020 when the remaining contingently-issuable shares were issued.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes increased $1.3 million to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $0.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020. The change in the provision for income taxes is primarily due to certain true-ups in foreign jurisdictions partially
offset by the release of the valuation allowance for JAMM Technologies, Inc.

Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net increased $3.6 million to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $2.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the foreign currency fluctuations of Brazilian real and the euro as
compared to the U.S. dollar in fiscal 2020 and 2021, resulting in a foreign currency transaction loss of $5.6 million, the majority of which
remains unrealized, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

The discussion related to our results of operations and changes in financial condition for 2020 compared to 2019 is incorporated by reference
to Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $206.4 million. Since our inception, we have generated losses and expect to
continue to generate losses in the near term. We have financed our operations through a combination of equity financings and debt
financings, and from cash generated from operations, primarily from the collection of accounts receivable resulting from sales. Our historical
cash outflows have primarily been associated with cash used for operating activities such as expansion of our sales and marketing and
distributor infrastructure, investing in inventory, R&D activities, asset acquisitions, capital improvements and other working capital needs. As
of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had cash of $53.4 million and $84.5 million, respectively.

Our short term liquidity requirements consist primarily of operating expenses and interest payments on the Madryn Credit Agreement. We
believe that our available cash and cash from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months,
including our contractual and other obligations summarized below under “Material Cash Requirements” section. Our long-term liquidity needs
consist primarily of operating expenses, including expected increases in SG&A and R&D expenses related to our IDE clinical trial and
product development and funds necessary to pay for the interest and principal payment on the Madryn Credit Agreement. Our liquidity
assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could utilize our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

▪
▪

▪
▪
▪

the degree and rate of market adoption of our products;
the cost and timing of our regulatory activities, especially the IDE clinical trial to obtain regulatory approval for our Motiva Implants in
the United States;
the emergence of new competing technologies and products;
the costs of R&D activities we undertake to develop and expand our products;
the costs of commercialization activities, including sales, marketing and manufacturing;

66

Table of Contents

▪
▪

the level of working capital required to support our growth; and
our need for additional personnel, information technology or other operating infrastructure to support our growth and operations as a
public company.

We may need to raise additional capital to execute our business plan. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or on terms
acceptable to us, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Cash Flows

The discussion related to our cash flows for 2019 is incorporated by reference to Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed
with the SEC on March 15, 2021.

Net cash used in operating activities of $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily comprised of a net loss of $41.1
million and a $0.7 million change in fair value of financial instruments, partially offset by $10.4 million of share-based compensation expense,
$3.7 million of non-cash depreciation expense, $2.1 million of non-cash interest expense due to accretion of debt discounts, $4.2 million
unrealized foreign currency loss, as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.4 million.

Net cash used in operating activities of $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 was comprised of a net loss of $38.1 million and

of non-cash depreciation expense, $1.7 million of non-cash interest expense due to accretion of debt discounts, $2.4 million unrealized
foreign currency loss, a $1.2 million change in provision for inventory obsolescence, and a $0.4 million change in provision for doubtful
accounts, as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities of $12.6 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily consisted of $2.4 million in purchases of
property and equipment, $0.4 million of cash paid for past asset acquisitions, $1.4 million of purchases of intangibles and $2.9 million of cash
paid for capital expenditures on construction in progress.

Net cash used in investing activities of $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily consisted of $2.1 million in purchases of

paid for capital expenditures on construction in progress.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily consisted of $4.6 million in proceeds
received for stock option exercises, which were partially offset by $0.2 million in repayment on finance leases and a $0.4 million tax payment
related to shares withheld upon vesting of restricted stock.

In August 2021, we entered into a contract with the Zona Franca Coyol, S.A., or CFZ, to begin construction of a new manufacturing facility in
Costa Rica. The costs for improvement of the land and construction of a cold shell building are being paid for by CFZ and, upon completion,
we will have the option to purchase the title to the land and cold shell building for approximately $12.6 million or to lease the facility at a to be
determined price. Subject to purchase of the land and cold shell building, we will have the option to buy an adjacent lot of land for
approximately $2.8 million and engage CFZ to construct an additional manufacturing facility.

Indebtedness

Madryn Debt

On August 24, 2017, we entered into a credit agreement, or the Madryn Credit Agreement, with Madryn Health Partners, LP, or Madryn, as
administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders that matures September 30, 2025.

The Madryn Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for term loans in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $65.0 million, all of which
is outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

Borrowings under the Madryn Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 8.0% per annum provided that no
default has occurred. In an event of a default, the interest would increase by an additional 4.0% per annum. The effective interest rate under
the amended Madryn Credit Agreement is 18.4%, and the weighted average interest rate was approximately 10.6% at December 31, 2021.
No principal payments are due on the term loans until the final maturity date on September 30, 2025.

We also determined that the Madryn Credit Agreement contained put options, which are mandatory repayment provisions related to liquidity
events or an event of default and a call option related to voluntary repayment option. We revalue the embedded derivatives as of each
reporting period and record the change in the fair value in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense (see Note 5).

See Note 6 “Debt” for additional information regarding the Madryn Credit Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments and Use of Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. The
preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates are based on our historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We believe that the
critical accounting policies discussed below are essential to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to
the more significant areas involving management’s estimates and judgments.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition,
including sales, operational expenses, manufacturing, research and development costs, IDE clinical trial enrollment and related costs, and
employee-related compensation, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that
may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional,
national and international customers and markets. We have made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within our financial statements and
there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue related to sales of products to distributors or directly to customers in markets where it has regulatory
approval, net of discounts and allowances. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or
ASC, 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or
services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company recognizes revenue related to the sales of products to distributors at the time of shipment of the product, which represents the
point in time when the distributor has taken ownership and assumed the risk of loss and the required revenue recognition criteria are
satisfied. The Company’s distributors are obligated to pay within specified terms regardless of when, or if, they sell the products. The
Company’s contracts with distributors typically do not contain right of return or price protection and have no post-delivery obligations.

The Company recognizes revenue when title to the product and risk of loss transfer to customers, provided there are no remaining
performance obligations required of the Company or any written matters requiring customer acceptance. The Company allows for the return
of product from direct customers in certain regions in limited instances within fifteen days after the original sale and records estimated sales
returns as a reduction of sales in the same period revenue is recognized. Appropriate reserves are established for anticipated sales returns
based on historical experience, recent gross sales and any notification of pending returns. Actual sales returns in any future period are
inherently uncertain and thus may differ from the estimates. If actual sales returns differ significantly from the estimates, an adjustment to
revenue in the current or subsequent period is recorded. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, an allowance of $10,000 and $54,000 was
recorded for product returns, respectively.

A portion of the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of consigned inventory maintained at physician, hospital, and clinic locations.
For these products, revenue is recognized at the time the Company is notified by the consignee that the product has been implanted, not
when the consigned products are delivered to the consignee’s warehouse.

The Company has a limited warranty for the shelf life of breast implants, which is five years from the time of manufacture. Estimated warranty
obligations are recorded at the time of sale. The Company also offers a warranty to patients in the event of rupture and a replacement
program for capsular contracture events, provided certain registration requirements are met. Revenue for extended warranties is recognized
ratably over the term of the agreement. To date, these warranty and program costs have been de minimis. The Company will continue to
evaluate the warranty reserve policies for adequacy considering claims history.

Deferred revenue primarily consists of payments received in advance of meeting revenue recognition criteria. The Company has received
payments from distributors to provide distribution exclusivity within a geographic area and recognizes deferred revenue on a ratable basis
over the term of such contractual distribution relationship.

Additionally, the Company has received payments from customers in direct markets prior to surgical implantation and recognizes deferred
revenue at the time the Company is notified by the customer that the product has been implanted. For all arrangements, any revenue that
has been deferred and is expected to be recognized beyond one year is classified as long-term deferred revenue and included in “Other
liabilities, long-term” on the consolidated balance sheets.

Research and Development

Costs related to research and development, or R&D, activities are expensed as incurred. R&D costs primarily include personnel costs,
materials, clinical expenses, regulatory expenses, product development, consulting services, and outside research activities, all of which are
directly related to research and development activities.

The Company estimates IDE clinical trial expenses based on the services performed, pursuant to contracts with research institutions and
clinical research organizations that conduct and manage clinical trials on its behalf. In accruing service fees, the Company estimates the time
period over which services will be performed and the level of patient enrollment and activity expended in each period. If the actual timing of
the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, the Company will adjust the accrual accordingly.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable is stated at invoice value less estimated allowances for returns and doubtful accounts. The Company continually
monitors customer payments and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from customers’ inability to make required payments.
In evaluating the Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivable balances, the Company considers various factors including the age of
the balance, the creditworthiness of the customer, which is assessed based on ongoing credit evaluations and payment history, and the
customer’s current financial condition. In cases where there are circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its
financial obligations, an allowance is recorded against amounts due, which reduces the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably
believed to be collectible.

Inventory and Cost of Revenue

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost to purchase or manufacture the inventory or the net realizable value of such inventory. Cost is
determined using the standard cost method which approximates actual costs using the first-in, first-out basis. The Company regularly reviews
inventory quantities considering actual losses, projected future demand, and remaining shelf life to record a provision for excess and slow-
moving inventory.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset might not be recoverable. When such an event occurs, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the
anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to the related asset group’s carrying value. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is
written down to fair value, which is determined based either on discounted cash flows or appraised value, depending on the nature of the
asset. There were no impairment charges, or changes in estimated useful lives recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020.

Debt and Embedded Derivatives

The Company applies the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging and for distinguishing liabilities from equity when accounting for
hybrid contracts. The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion
options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (see
Note 6).

The Company uses option pricing valuation models to determine the fair value of embedded derivatives and records any change in fair value
as a component of other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 5).

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or
income tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future events, enactments or changes in the tax law or rates are
considered. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

70

Table of Contents

The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to audit by various tax authorities.

The Company records uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process whereby (1) a determination is made as to whether it is more
likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet
the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to
be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on
any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Significant judgment is required in the identification of uncertain tax
positions and in the estimation of penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions.

There were no material uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Foreign Currency

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the local currencies are translated into U.S.
dollars for consolidation as follows: assets and liabilities at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity at the
historical rates of exchange, and income and expense amounts at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments
resulting from the translation of the subsidiaries’ accounts are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” as equity in the
consolidated balance sheet. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency are converted to the
functional currency at the exchange rate on the transaction date. At period end, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the
functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical
exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included within “Other income (expense), net” in the
consolidated statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2021, foreign currency transaction loss amounted to $5.6 million as
compared to a foreign currency transaction loss of $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based awards in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718,
Stock Compensation. Share-based awards granted include stock options, restricted stock units, or RSUs, and restricted stock awards, or
RSAs. Share-based compensation expense for stock options and RSAs granted to employees is measured at the grant date based on the
fair value of the awards and is recognized as an expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of
options to purchase shares granted to employees is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

The calculation of share-based compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used
in the Black-Scholes model, including the expected term, expected volatility of the underlying common shares, risk-free interest rate and
dividends.

See Note 10 “Share-Based Compensation” for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Form 10-K for information on recent accounting pronouncements and the expected impact on our unaudited consolidated financial
statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We had cash of $53.4 million and $84.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We manage our cash portfolio for operating
and working capital purposes. Our cash balances are held in bank checking accounts, and we believe that we do not have any material
exposure to changes in the fair value of our cash portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

To date, the majority of our revenue has been denominated in U.S. dollars, Brazilian reals and euros. Some of our operating expenses are
subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the euro and Brazilian real. Fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations. For
the year ended

71

Table of Contents

December 31, 2021, foreign currency transaction loss amounted to $5.6 million primarily related to the remeasurement of transactions
denominated in the U.S. dollar into the Brazilian real and the euro as part of the financial reporting consolidation process under GAAP. The
Brazilian real has been experiencing a weakening since December 31, 2017 as compared to the U.S. dollar with a slight recovery
experienced in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. We have not engaged in any foreign currency hedging activities. As our international
operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to managing the risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the effect of an immediate 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on foreign-
denominated accounts as of December 31, 2021 would have had an impact of approximately 10.0% on revenues and would have impacted
our net loss by a commensurate amount.

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for any periods presented in our consolidated financial
statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management, with the participation of our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2021 using the criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” (2013), issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on that assessment and due to the material weakness
described below, our management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of
December 31, 2021. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control and Plan for Remediation

It  was  determined  that  our  primary  user  access  controls  (i.e.  provisioning,  de-provisioning,  and  quarterly  user  access  review)  to  ensure
appropriate segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to
appropriate Company personnel were not operating effectively. These user access control deficiencies resulted in a lack of segregation of
duties with respect to

72

Table of Contents

certain  user  roles.  Automated  process-level  controls  and  manual  controls  that  are  dependent  upon  the  information  derived  from  such
financially  relevant  systems  were  also  determined  to  be  ineffective  as  a  result  of  such  deficiency.  As  a  result,  it  was  determined  that  a
material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2021.

Our management believes the material weakness identified above has not had any material effect on our financial results. However, we are
currently reviewing our controls and procedures related to this material weakness and expect to implement changes prior to the end of fiscal
2022, including identifying any specific areas within our information technology systems that require additional resources to mitigate this
material weakness.

Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, that the following material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2020: a lack of adequate review over the manual consolidation process, resulting
in an audit adjustment.

We implemented a number of measures to address the material weakness identified as of December 31, 2020. We improved policies and
procedures and designed and documented more effective controls that addressed the relevant risks in order to remediate the previously
identified material weakness in addition to engaging a third-party consulting firm to assist us with the continuing implementation of SAP,
which is a global information technology solution designed to address, among other items, the elements which gave rise to the material
weakness.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we completed the necessary testing to conclude that the material weakness identified as of
December 31, 2020 has been fully remediated as of December 31, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2021 that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Although we have altered some
work routines due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the changes in our work environment, including remote work arrangements, have not
materially impacted our internal control over financial reporting and have not adversely affected the Company’s ability to maintain operations.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is
based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. In addition, the design
of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply
judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot
provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
have been detected.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by Marcum LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Establishment Labs Holdings Inc.

Adverse Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We  have  audited  Establishment  Labs  Holdings  Inc.’s  (the  "Company")  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2021,
based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described below on the achievement of the objectives
of the control criteria, the Company

73

Table of Contents

has  not  maintained  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2021,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal
Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected
on a timely basis. The following material weakness have been identified and included in “Management's Annual Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting”:

The  Company’s  primary  user  access  controls  (i.e.  provisioning,  de-provisioning,  and  quarterly  user  access  review)  to  ensure  appropriate
segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to appropriate
Company  personnel  were  not  operating  effectively.  These  user  access  control  deficiencies  resulted  in  a  lack  of  segregation  of  duties  with
respect to certain user roles. Automated process-level controls and manual controls that are dependent upon the information derived from
such financially relevant systems were also determined to be ineffective as a result of such deficiency.

This  material  weakness  was  considered  in  determining  the  nature,  timing  and  extent  of  audit  tests  applied  in  our  audit  of  the  fiscal  2021
consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 1, 2022 on those financial statements.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the
consolidated  balance  sheets  as  of  December  31,  2021  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  comprehensive  loss,
shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 of the Company and our report dated March 1, 2022 expressed
an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying "Management Annual Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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  audit  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  PCAOB.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to
obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all  material  respects.  Our
audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the
risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  and  testing  and  evaluating  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal  control  based  on  the
assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A  company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of
financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and  dispositions  of  the  assets  of  the  company;  (2)  provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Establishment Labs Holdings Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the
three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2021,  and  the  related  notes  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  “financial  statements”).  In  our
opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and
the  results  of  its  operations  and  its  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2021,  in  conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the
Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013 and our report dated March
1,  2022,  expressed  an  adverse  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  because  of  the
existence of a material weakness.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 audits to
obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  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 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be
communicated  to  the  audit  committee  and  that:  (1)  relate  to  accounts  or  disclosures  that  are  material  to  the  financial  statements  and  (2)
involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

1.    Formation and Business of the Company

Formation and Business of the Company

Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”) is a global company that manufactures and
markets innovative medical devices for aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. The Company was established in the British Virgin
Islands on October 9, 2013, at which time Establishment Labs, S.A., the Costa Rican manufacturing company, was reincorporated as a
wholly-owned subsidiary. As of December 31, 2021, the Company also has wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States (JAMM
Technologies, Inc. and Motiva USA LLC), Brazil (Establishment Labs Produtos para Saude Ltda), Belgium (European Distribution Center
Motiva BVBA), France (Motiva Implants France SAS), Sweden (Motiva Nordica AB), Switzerland (JEN-Vault AG), the United Kingdom
(Motiva Implants UK Limited), Italy (Motiva Italy S.R.L), Spain (Motiva Implants Spain, S.L.), Austria (Motiva Austria GmbH), Germany
(Motiva Germany GmbH) and Argentina (Motiva Argentina S.R.L). Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from the sale of
silicone gel-filled breast implants, branded as Motiva Implants.

The main manufacturing activities are conducted at two manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica. In 2010, the Company began operating under
the Costa Rica free zone regime (Régimen de Zona Franca), which provides for reduced income tax and other tax obligations pursuant to an
agreement with the Costa Rican authorities.

The Company’s products are approved for sale in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia. The Company sells its products
internationally through a combination of distributors and direct sales to customers.

The Company is pursuing regulatory approval to commercialize its products in the United States. The Company received approval for an
investigational device exemption, or IDE, from the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in March 2018 to initiate a clinical
trial in the United States for its Motiva Implants. In August 2019, the Company completed all patient surgeries for the IDE aesthetic cohorts,
which include primary augmentation and revision. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company initiated a modular pre-market approval, or
PMA, submission process with FDA and submitted the first of four expected modules. As of December 31, 2021, the Company is continuing
to enroll subjects in the remaining reconstruction cohort.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segments

The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information
presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue by geographic region, for purposes of allocating resources
and evaluating financial performance. The Company has one business activity and there are no segment managers who are held
accountable for operations, operating results or plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company
has determined that it has a single reportable and operating segment structure. The Company and its Chief Executive Officer evaluate
performance based primarily on revenue in the geographic regions in which the Company operates.

Geographic Concentrations

The Company derives all its revenues from sales to customers in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia, and has not yet received
approval to sell its products in the United States.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, Brazil accounted for 11.6%, 10.9% and 15.7%, respectively, of consolidated
revenue and no other individual country exceeded 10% of consolidated revenue, on a ship-to destination basis.

The majority of the Company’s consolidated total assets, including cash and tangible assets, is held in the United States. The Company’s
long-lived assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment and intangible assets located in Costa Rica represented 84% and 80%
of the total long-lived assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates and management
judgments reflected in the consolidated financial statements include items such as accounts receivable valuation and allowances, inventory
valuation and allowances,

F-9

Table of Contents

ESTABLISHMENT LABS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

valuation of acquired intangible assets, valuation of derivatives and valuation of deferred income tax assets, including tax valuation
allowances. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions believed to be reasonable by
management. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts
receivable. The majority of the Company’s cash is held at two financial institutions in the United States. Balances in the Company’s cash
accounts exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses to its
deposits of cash.

All of the Company’s revenue has been derived from sales of its products in international markets, principally Europe, the Middle East, Latin
America, and Asia. In the international markets in which the Company operates, the Company uses a combination of distributors and makes
direct sales to customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its distributors and customers, does not require collateral,
and maintains allowances for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues were derived from the sale of Motiva Implants. During the years ended December 31, 2021,
2020 and 2019, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue. One customer accounted for 11.8% of the Company’s
trade accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2021. No customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s trade accounts
receivable balance as of December 31, 2020.

The Company relies on NuSil Technology, LLC, or NuSil, as the sole supplier of medical-grade silicone used in Motiva Implants. During the
years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company had purchases of $23.1 million, or 51.4% of total purchases, $15.3 million,
or 66.7% of total purchases, and $14.2 million or 58.5% of total purchases, respectively, from NuSil. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the
Company had an outstanding balance owed to this vendor of $2.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future
operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, uncertainty of regulatory
approval of the Company’s current and potential future products, uncertainty of market acceptance of the Company’s products, competition
from substitute products and larger companies, securing and protecting proprietary technology, access to capital, strategic relationships and
dependence on key individuals and sole source suppliers.

Products developed by the Company require clearances from the FDA or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales.
There can be no assurance that the products will receive the necessary clearances. If the Company is denied clearance, clearance is
delayed, or the Company is unable to maintain its existing clearances, these developments could have a material adverse impact on the
Company.

The COVID-19 outbreak caused a material disruption of the operations of the Company and its suppliers and customers in fiscal 2020 and
resulted in delayed clinical trial enrollment within the reconstruction cohort of its IDE clinical trial in the United States. However, to date, the
impact from the COVID-19 outbreak has not had a material effect on the Company’s liquidity or financial position. The full extent of any future
impact of the continuing outbreak, related business and travel restrictions, and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread is uncertain
and continues to evolve globally. Management continues to monitor the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on the Company, the
breast aesthetics and reconstruction market and the economies in which the Company operates.

Cash

The Company’s cash consists of cash maintained in checking and interest-bearing accounts. The majority of the Company’s cash is held at
two financial institutions in the United States. The Company accounts for financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less
at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable is stated at invoice value less estimated allowances for returns and doubtful accounts. The Company continually
monitors customer payments and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from customers’ inability to make required payments.
In evaluating the Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivable balances, the Company considers various factors including the age of
the balance, the creditworthiness of the customer, which is assessed based on ongoing credit evaluations and payment history, and the
customer’s current financial condition. In cases where there are circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its
financial obligations, an allowance is recorded against amounts due, which reduces the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably
believed to be collectible.

A roll-forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost to purchase or manufacture the inventory or the net realizable value of such inventory. Cost is
determined using the standard cost method which approximates actual costs using the first-in, first-out basis. The Company regularly reviews
inventory quantities considering actual losses, projected future demand, and remaining shelf life to record a provision for excess and slow-
moving inventory.

Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at the inception date of the contract. The Company has elected an
expedient to account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for the
majority of its asset classes.

The lease term may include periods covered by options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will
exercise a renewal option, or reasonably certain it will not exercise an early termination option. The Company recognizes lease liabilities and
right-of-use, or ROU, assets upon commencement for all material leases with a term greater than 12 months. The Company has elected an

F-11

Table of Contents

ESTABLISHMENT LABS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

expedient not to recognize leases with a lease term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. These short-term leases are expensed on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses. For the
years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, shipping and handling costs were $5.3 million, $3.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue related to sales of products to distributors or directly to customers in markets where it has regulatory
approval, net of discounts and allowances. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or
ASC, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASC 606 requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of
goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company recognizes revenue related to the sales of products to distributors at the time of shipment of the product, which represents the
point in time when the distributor has taken ownership and assumed the risk of loss, and the required revenue recognition criteria are
satisfied. The Company’s distributors are obligated to pay within specified terms regardless of when, or if, they sell the products. The
Company’s contracts with distributors typically do not contain right of return or price protection and have no post-delivery obligations.

The Company recognizes revenue when title to the product and risk of loss transfer to customers, provided there are no remaining
performance obligations required of the Company or any written matters requiring customer acceptance. The Company allows for the return
of product from direct customers in certain regions in limited instances within fifteen days after the original sale and records estimated sales
returns as a reduction of sales in the same period revenue is recognized. Appropriate reserves are established for anticipated sales returns
based on historical experience, recent gross sales and any notification of pending returns. Actual sales returns in any future period are
inherently uncertain and thus may differ from the estimates. If actual sales returns differ significantly from the estimates, an adjustment to
revenue in the current or subsequent period is recorded. As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, an allowance of $10,000, $54,000 and
$36,000 was recorded for product returns, respectively.

A portion of the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of consigned inventory maintained at physician, hospital, or clinic locations.
For these products, revenue is recognized at the time the Company is notified by the consignee that the product has been implanted, not
when the consigned products are delivered to the consignee’s warehouse.

Revenue was generated in these primary geographic markets:

The Company has a limited warranty for the shelf life of breast implants, which is five years from the time of manufacture. Estimated warranty
obligations are recorded at the time of sale. The Company also offers a

F-12

Table of Contents

ESTABLISHMENT LABS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

warranty to patients in the event of rupture and a replacement program for capsular contracture events, provided certain registration
requirements are met. Revenue for extended warranties is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. To date, these warranty and
program costs have been de minimis. The Company will continue to evaluate the warranty reserve policies for adequacy considering claims
history.

Deferred revenue primarily consists of payments received in advance of meeting revenue recognition criteria. The Company has received
payments from distributors to provide distribution exclusivity within a geographic area and recognizes deferred revenue on a ratable basis
over the term of such contractual distribution relationship. Additionally, the Company has received payments from customers in direct
markets prior to surgical implantation and recognizes deferred revenue at the time the Company is notified by the customer that the product
has been implanted. For all arrangements, any revenue that has been deferred and is expected to be recognized beyond one year is
classified as long-term deferred revenue and included in “Other liabilities, long-term” on the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 3).

Research and Development

Costs related to research and development, or R&D, activities are expensed as incurred. R&D costs primarily include personnel costs,
materials, clinical expenses, regulatory expenses, product development, consulting services, and outside research activities, all of which are
directly related to research and development activities.

The Company estimates IDE clinical trial expenses based on the services performed, pursuant to contracts with research institutions and
clinical research organizations that conduct and manage clinical trials on its behalf. In accruing service fees, the Company estimates the time
period over which services will be performed and the level of patient enrollment and activity expended in each period. If the actual timing of
the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, the Company will adjust the accrual accordingly.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses include sales and marketing costs, payroll and related benefit costs, insurance expenses, shipping and handling costs, legal
and professional fees and administrative overhead.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

Following the exercise of its option to purchase its manufacturing facility in June 2019, the Company depreciates the owned building on a
straight-line basis over 50 years of useful life. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the
assets’ estimated useful lives of five to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the
estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term after factoring expected renewal periods. Upon retirement or disposal of assets,
the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in operations.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Substantially all of the Company’s manufacturing operations and related property and
equipment is located in Costa Rica.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company records the excess of the acquisition purchase price over the net fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company tests goodwill for
impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
of the asset may not be recoverable. In connection with the annual impairment test for goodwill, the Company elected the option to perform a
qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
If the Company determines that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the
impairment test is performed.

Consistent with the Company's assessment that it has only one reporting segment, the Company has determined that it has only one
reporting unit and tests goodwill for impairment at the entity level using the two-step process required by ASC 350. In the first step, the
Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the enterprise. If the fair value of the enterprise exceeds the
carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the enterprise exceeds the fair
value, goodwill

F-13

Table of Contents

ESTABLISHMENT LABS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

is potentially impaired, and the second step of the impairment test must be performed. In the second step, the Company compares the
implied fair value of the goodwill, as defined by ASC 350, to its carrying amount to determine the impairment loss, if any.

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to intangible assets, such as patents, trademarks and software development costs. The
Company follows the provisions of ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software for determining whether computer software is internal-use software
and on accounting for the proceeds of computer software originally developed or obtained for internal use. The Company expenses all costs
incurred during the preliminary project stage of software development and capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development
stage. Costs incurred relating to upgrades and enhancements to the software are capitalized if it is determined that these upgrades or
enhancements add additional functionality to the software. Costs incurred to improve and support products after they become available are
charged to expense as incurred.

The Company records purchased intangible assets at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Purchased finite-lived
intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated useful lives, which range from two to
fifteen years. The Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events or
circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining estimated amortization period. The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for
impairment on at least an annual basis and whenever circumstances suggest the assets may be impaired. If indicators of impairment are
present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of the intangible assets in relation to estimates of future undiscounted cash flows. The
Company also evaluates the remaining useful life of an indefinite-lived intangible asset to determine whether events and circumstances
continue to support an indefinite useful life.

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, there has been no impairment of goodwill or intangible assets based on the
qualitative assessments performed by the Company.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset might not be recoverable. When such an event occurs, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the
anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to the related asset group’s carrying value. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is
written down to fair value, which is determined based either on discounted cash flows or appraised value, depending on the nature of the
asset. There were no impairment charges, or changes in estimated useful lives recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020
and 2019.

Debt and Embedded Derivatives

The Company applies the accounting standards for derivatives and for distinguishing liabilities from equity when accounting for hybrid
contracts. The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion
options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (see
Note 6).

The Company uses option pricing valuation models to determine the fair value of embedded derivatives and records any change in fair value
as a component of other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 5).

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discounts

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of new debt are capitalized. Capitalizable debt issuance costs paid to third parties and debt
discounts, net of amortization, are recorded as a reduction to the long-term debt balance on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization
expense on capitalized debt issuance costs and debt discounts related to loans are calculated using the effective interest method over the
term of the loan commitment and is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized

F-14

Table of Contents

ESTABLISHMENT LABS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or income tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future events,
enactments or changes in the tax law or rates are considered. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to audit by various tax authorities.

The Company records uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process whereby (1) a determination is made as to whether it is more
likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet
the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be
realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any
unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Significant judgment is required in the identification of uncertain tax
positions and in the estimation of penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions.

There were no material uncertain tax positions in the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Foreign Currency

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the local currencies are translated into U.S.
dollars for consolidation as follows: assets and liabilities at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity at the
historical rates of exchange, and income and expense amounts at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments
resulting from the translation of the subsidiaries’ accounts are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” as equity in the
consolidated balance sheet. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency are converted to the
functional currency at the exchange rate on the transaction date. At period end, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the
functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical
exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included within “Other income (expense), net” in the
consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, foreign currency transaction loss amounted
to $5.6 million, $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Comprehensive Loss

The Company’s comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments arising from the consolidation of the
Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based awards in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718,
Stock Compensation. Share-based awards granted include stock options, restricted stock units, or RSUs, and restricted stock awards, or
RSAs. Share-based compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock granted to employees is measured at the grant date based
on the fair value of the awards and is recognized as an expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The fair
value of options to purchase shares granted to employees is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

The calculation of share-based compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used
in the Black-Scholes model, including the expected term, expected volatility of the underlying common shares, risk-free interest rate and
dividends.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average
number of shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share is
computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the
period. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, any shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, stock options and non-
vested restricted stock outstanding under the Company’s equity plan are potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is the same
as basic net loss per share for periods where the Company reported a net loss because including the dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

Reclassifications

ESTABLISHMENT LABS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no
material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Standards
Periodically, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, or other standard setting
bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards
that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Previously,
under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, the Company met the definition of an emerging growth company, and
previously elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the
JOBS Act. The Company ceased to be an emerging growth company on December 31, 2021.

The following recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements:

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of
its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-
period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for
outside basis differences. The standard also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. This standard is
currently effective. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 as of September 30, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact upon the
Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure
Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The modifications
removed the following disclosure requirements: (i) the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy; (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU
added the following disclosure requirements: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive
income, or OCI, for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) the range and weighted
average of significant observable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This standard is currently effective. The Company
adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2021. As the requirements of this literature are disclosure only, ASU 2018-13 did not impact the
Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments. This ASU replaces the impairment methodology in current GAAP, which delays recognition of credit losses until it is
probable a loss has been incurred, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of
reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This standard is currently effective. During the fourth quarter of 2021,
the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material
impact upon the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging
- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new guidance eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting
models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted
for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments
and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. The standard is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment was
$2.5 million, $2.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

The Company entered into finance leases relating to equipment and vehicles and recorded the fair value of the lease payments on the initial
contract date and is amortizing the assets over the term of the leases. As of each of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the gross asset value for
finance lease assets was $1.4 million. Depreciation expense for assets under finance leases was $126,000, $80,000 and $84,000 for the
years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

In August 2021, the Company entered into a contract with the Zona Franca Coyol, S.A., or CFZ, to begin construction of a new
manufacturing facility in Costa Rica. The costs for improvement of the land and construction of a cold shell building are being paid for by CFZ
and, upon completion, the Company will have the option to purchase the title to the land and cold shell building for approximately
$12.6 million or to lease the facility at a to be determined price. Subject to purchase of the land and cold shell building, the Company will
have the option to buy an adjacent lot of land for approximately $2.8 million and engage CFZ to construct an additional manufacturing facility.

4.     Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a
business combination. Intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting
are recorded at the estimated fair value of the assets acquired. Purchased intangibles include certain patents and license rights, 510(k)
authorization by the FDA to sell a medical device and other intangible assets.

The Company’s goodwill and most intangibles at December 31, 2021 are the result of previous asset and business acquisitions. Finite-lived
intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives based on expected future benefit.

In addition to the intangibles acquired, the Company capitalized certain patent and license rights as identified intangibles based on patent
and license rights agreements entered into over the past several years. Additionally, the Company capitalized certain software development
costs.

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2021:

The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2021, there has been no impairment of
goodwill or intangible assets based on the qualitative assessments performed by the Company.

5.    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of
these items. Embedded derivatives that qualify for liability treatment are carried at fair value and re-measured at each reporting period.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or
most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation
techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

F-21

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

The fair value hierarchy defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

▪
▪

▪

Level I    Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level II    Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable, unadjusted 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 related assets or liabilities; and
Level III     Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for the related assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair
value measurement.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the
fair value hierarchy at period end:

The fair value measurement of derivatives is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3
measurement.

In August 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement, or the Madryn Credit Agreement, with Madryn Health Partners, LP, or Madryn,
as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (see Note 6). The Company determined that the Madryn Credit Agreement contained put
options related to early redemption mandatory prepayment terms in case of change in control or an event of default and a call option related
to voluntary repayment option. The Company allocated a fair value of $15.1 million for these identified embedded derivatives as a debt
discount on the original commitment date. An additional $5.0 million and $1.6 million debt discount was recorded on respective borrowing
dates when the Company met the required milestones and borrowed an additional $10.0 million in 2017 and $25.0 million in 2019. The
Company revalued the options as of each reporting period and recorded the change in the fair value in the consolidated statement of
operations as other income or expense.

Valuation of the embedded derivatives is complex and requires interest rate simulation, capturing optimal decision making process as interest
rate fluctuates, and estimating the resultant bond valuation and the resultant pay-off to the option holder. The Company estimated the fair
value of the embedded redemption options based on a “with” and “without” approach using the Black-Derman-Toy model, a form of the
Binomial Lattice Model that captures

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

interest rate variability and the prepayment optionality. The Binomial Lattice Model allows for the possibility of exercise before the end of the
option’s life and considers future interest rates, volatility and other data with regards to the Company’s credit rating and credit spread. The
value of the embedded derivatives was based on the difference between the “with” and “without” analysis. The probability of a change in
control occurring was determined to be 50% (cumulative probability through the maturity date) at December 31, 2021 and December 31,
2020.

The Company used the following assumptions to value Madryn derivatives:

Madryn Put Option Liability

Interest rate volatility
Market yield rate
Term (in years)
Dividend yield

December 31,

2021
25.8%
6.8%
3.75
—%

2020
19.7%
7.9%
4.82
—%

The estimates are based, in part, on subjective assumptions and could differ materially in the future.

During the periods presented, the Company has not changed the manner in which it values liabilities that are measured at fair value using
Level 3 inputs. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were
no transfers within the hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The fair value of the debt redemption feature liability includes the estimated market rate (credit spread and risk-free rate) and volatility. The
higher/lower the estimated volatility, the higher/lower the value of the debt redemption feature liability. The higher/lower the estimated market
rate, the higher/lower the value of the debt redemption feature liability.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments as follows:

On August 24, 2017, the Company entered into the Madryn Credit Agreement with Madryn, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of
lenders that matures September 30, 2025. On August 5, 2020, the Company amended the Madryn Credit Agreement to adjust the minimum
product revenue milestone previously applicable to December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021 and to add Motiva Implants UK Limited,

Motiva Implants Spain, S.L. and Motiva Germany GmbH, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors to the Madryn Credit
Agreement.

The Madryn Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for term loans in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $65.0 million.

In connection with the Madryn Credit Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries granted a security interest in substantially all of
their respective assets, including, without limitation, intellectual property, and pledges of certain shares of the Company’s subsidiaries,
subject to certain excluded collateral exceptions.

The Madryn Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the ability
of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make certain investments, make restricted payments,
enter into or undertake certain liquidations, mergers, consolidations or acquisitions and dispose of assets or subsidiaries. In addition, the
Madryn Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain minimum revenues and liquidity.

Borrowings under the Madryn Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 8.0% per annum provided that no
default has occurred. In an event of a default, the interest would increase by an additional 4.0% per annum. The effective interest rate under
the amended Madryn Credit Agreement is 18.4%, and the weighted average interest rate was approximately 10.6% at December 31, 2021.
The Company incurred $6.9 million, $7.6 million and $6.2 million in interest expense in connection with Madryn Credit Agreement during the
years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, including $0.7 million and $0.3 million of direct costs to amend the Madryn
Credit Agreement in August 2020 and June 2019 which was expensed as interest expense. No principal payments are due on the term loans
until the final maturity date on September 30, 2025.

The Company also determined that the Madryn Credit Agreement contained put options which are mandatory repayment provisions related
to liquidity events or an event of default and a call option related to voluntary repayment option. The Company allocated a fair value of
$15.1 million for these embedded derivatives as a debt discount on the original commitment date in August 2017. An additional $5.0 million
and $1.6 million debt discount was recorded on respective borrowing dates when the Company met the required milestones and borrowed an
additional $10.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 and $25.0 million in August 2019. The Company revalues the embedded
derivatives as of each reporting period and records the change in the fair value in the consolidated statement of operations as other income
or expense (see Note 5).

The Company recorded Madryn debt on the balance sheet as follows:

As of December 31, 2021, the Company is in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

7.     Leases

The Company recognizes lease liabilities and ROU assets upon commencement for all material leases with a term greater than 12 months.
The Company has elected an expedient not to recognize leases with a lease term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. These short-
term leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

F-24

Table of Contents

ESTABLISHMENT LABS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s
obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date of the
lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined,
the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. Lease liabilities are
accreted each period and reduced for payments. The ROU asset also includes other adjustments, such as for the effects of escalating rents,
rent abatements or initial lease costs. The lease term may include periods covered by options to extend or terminate the lease when it is
reasonably certain that the Company will exercise a renewal option, or reasonably certain it will not exercise an early termination option. For
operating leases, lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. For
finance leases, the ROU asset depreciates on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the ROU asset and the
lease liability accretes interest based on the interest method using the discount rate determined at lease commencement.

The Company has operating leases for facilities and office space as well as finance leases for equipment and vehicles. Operating lease
assets and the related lease liabilities are included within the ROU assets—operating leases. The determination of whether an arrangement
is, or contains, a lease is performed at the inception of the arrangement. The Company has operating and finance leases for certain facilities,
office space, equipment, and vehicles to be used in its operations, with remaining lease terms ranging from monthly to 7 years. These leases
require monthly lease payments that may be subject to annual increases throughout the lease term. Certain of these leases also include
renewal options at the election of the Company to renew or extend the lease for additional years. These optional periods have not been
considered in the determination of the ROU or lease liabilities associated with these leases as management did not consider it reasonably
certain it would exercise the options. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded in the balance
sheet and expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any termination options, material residual value guarantees, material bargain purchase
options or material restrictive covenants. The Company does not have any lease transactions with related parties.

Total lease cost includes the following components for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

reserve of 1,500,000 common shares. Under the 2018 Plan, the Company may grant stock options, equity appreciation rights, and restricted
share awards . If an award granted under the 2018 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised, or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered
in connection with an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares become available for further awards
under the 2018 Plan.

Pursuant to the “evergreen” provision contained in the 2018 Plan, the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan
automatically increases on first day of each fiscal year, commencing on January 1, 2019, in an amount equal to the least of (1) 750,000
shares, (2) 4% of the total number of the Company’s common shares outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year, or (3) a number
of common shares as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors prior to any such increase date. On each of January 1, 2019,
2020, and 2021 the number of common shares authorized for issuance increased automatically by 750,000 shares in accordance with the
evergreen provision, increasing the number of common shares reserved under the 2018 Plan to 3,750,000 as of December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, 850,727 options were vested and exercisable with weighted-average exercise price of $15.63 per share and a
total aggregate intrinsic value of $44.2 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, 521,316 options were exercised at a weighted-average price of $11.94 per share. The intrinsic
value of the options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $28.7 million, $1.9 million, and $1.5 million,
respectively. Upon the exercise of stock options, the Company issued new shares from its authorized shares.

At December 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation expense was $27.7 million related to stock options granted to employees and members
of the Board of Directors and $1.3 million related to stock options granted to consultants. The weighted-average period over which such
compensation expense will be recognized is 2.6 years.

Stock Options Granted to Employees

Share-based compensation expense for employees is based on the grant date fair value. The Company recognizes compensation expense
for all share-based awards ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting term
of four years. During the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $8.2 million, $2.8 million and
$2.2 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense for stock options granted to employees.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value options granted to employees and consultants, which requires the use
of highly subjective assumptions to determine the fair value of share-based awards. The assumptions used in the Company’s option-pricing
model represent management’s best estimates. These estimates are complex, involve a number of variables, uncertainties and assumptions
and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, the Company’s share-based

F-29

 
Table of Contents

ESTABLISHMENT LABS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

compensation expense could be materially different in the future. The assumptions and estimates that the Company uses in the Black-
Scholes model are as follows:

▪

Fair Value of Common Shares. Following the Company’s IPO in 2018, the closing price of the Company’s publicly-traded common
shares on the date of grant is used as the fair value of the shares. Prior to the IPO, the fair value of ordinary shares was estimated
on a periodic basis by the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm. The Board
of Directors intended all options granted to be exercisable at a price per share not less than the estimated per share fair value of the
shares underlying those options on the date of grant.

▪ Risk-Free Interest Rate. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation model on the implied

▪

yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a term equivalent to that of the term of the options for each option group on
the measurement date.
Term. For employee stock options, the expected term represents the period that the Company’s share-based awards are expected to
be outstanding. Because of the limitations on the sale or transfer of the Company’s shares during the period the Company was a
privately held company, the Company does not believe its historical exercise pattern is indicative of the pattern it will experience as a
publicly traded company. The Company consequently uses the Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, or SAB 110, simplified method to
calculate the expected term of employee stock options, which is the average of the contractual term and vesting period. The
Company plans to continue to use the SAB 110 simplified method until it has sufficient trading history as a publicly traded company.
For consultant stock options, the term used is equal to the remaining contractual term on the measurement date.
Volatility. The Company determines the price volatility based on the historical volatilities of industry peers as it does not have
sufficient trading history for its shares. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the medical device industry with
comparable characteristics, including revenue growth, operating model and working capital requirements. The Company intends to
continue to consistently apply this process using the same or a similar peer group of public companies until a sufficient amount of
historical information regarding the volatility of its own shares becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the
identified peer companies are no longer similar, in which case other suitable peer companies whose common share prices are
publicly available would be utilized in the calculation. The volatility is calculated based on the term on the measurement date.
▪ Dividend Yield. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s current expectations about its anticipated dividend
policy. The Company has no expectation that it will declare dividends on its common shares, and therefore has used an expected
dividend yield of zero.

▪

The fair value of stock options granted to employees was estimated using the following assumptions:

Stock Options Granted to Non-Employees

Share-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to non-employees is recognized as the stock options are earned using
an accelerated attribution method. The Company believes that the estimated fair value of the stock options is more readily measurable than
the fair value of the services rendered. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized expense of $1.8
million, $2.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for stock options granted to consultants.

Each vested RSA or RSU entitles the holder to be issued one common share. These awards vest according to a vesting schedule
determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, generally over a one to four year period.

The fair value of restricted stock is the grant date market value of common shares. The Company recognizes share-based compensation
expense related to restricted stock using a straight-line method over the vesting term of the awards. The share-based compensation expense
for restricted stock that vested during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $0.4 million, $0.6 million and $1.1 million,
respectively, which was calculated based on the market value of the Company’s common shares on the applicable grant date.

As of December 31, 2021, we had unrecognized share-based compensation cost of approximately $0.3 million associated with unvested
awards of restricted stock. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.0 year.

The Company's tax holiday benefit was related to the Company’s subsidiary in Costa Rica which enjoyed a zero percent tax rate, with the
exception of extended warranty income, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The zero percent tax holiday was granted
in August 2018 for a period of 8 years through the year 2026.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company assessed that it is more-likely-than-not that it will not realize its deferred tax assets based on the
absence of sufficient positive objective evidence that it would generate sufficient taxable income in its Brazil and U.S. tax jurisdiction (Motiva
USA, LLC) to realize the deferred tax assets. The Company intends to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax
assets in these jurisdictions until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has U.S. and California tax credit carryforwards of approximately $0.2 million in total. The federal
research credits begin to expire in 2037. However, the California research credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

F-33

ESTABLISHMENT LABS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had U.S. federal, state, U.K. and Brazil net operating losses of approximately $52.6 million, $6.8
million, $0.1 million and $20.3 million, respectively. The U.S. federal net operating losses of $3.3 million generated prior to 2018, and state
net operating losses will begin to expire on December 31, 2030. The U.S. federal net operating losses generated in 2018 and future years
will be carried forward indefinitely. Brazil net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

The United States federal and California laws impose restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and R&D credit
carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership of the Company, which constitutes an “ownership change” as defined by Internal
Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383. Generally, an ownership change occurs if the percentage of the value of the shares that are owned by
one or more direct or indirect “five percent shareholders” increases by more than 50% over their lowest ownership percentage at any time
during the applicable testing period. If the Company has experienced an “ownership change” at any time since its formation, it would already
be subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its existing net operating losses and other tax attributes. The Company did not experience an
ownership change in the past that would materially impact the availability of its net operating losses and tax credits. Nevertheless, future
changes in our share ownership, which may be outside of the Company’s control, may trigger an “ownership change” and, consequently,
Section 382 and 383 limitations. The Company has not completed a Section 382 and 383 analysis to determine if an ownership change has
occurred. Until such analysis is completed, the Company cannot be sure that the full amount of the existing net operating loss carryforwards
will be available, even if the Company does generate taxable income before their expiration. In addition, under the newly enacted U.S.
federal income tax law, federal net operating losses incurred in 2018 and in future years may be carried forward indefinitely, but the
deductibility of such federal net operating losses is limited.

Discontinuation of preferential tax treatment the Company currently enjoys or other unfavorable changes in tax law could result in additional
compliance obligations and costs. The Company is currently the beneficiary of a tax holiday in Costa Rica pursuant to which it is subject to a
tax at a 0% rate, with the exception of the extended warranty sales income that is subject to 30% income tax. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will continue to qualify for or receive such favorable tax treatment. If the Company fails to maintain such
favorable tax treatment it may be subject to tax in Costa Rica at a significantly higher rate.

A tax authority may disagree with tax positions that the Company has taken, which could result in increased tax liabilities. For example, the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service or another tax authority could challenge the amounts paid between the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant
to the Company’s intercompany arrangements and transfer pricing policies. A tax authority may take the position that material income tax
liabilities, interest and penalties are payable by the Company, in which case, the Company expects that it might contest such assessment.
Contesting such an assessment may be lengthy and costly and, if the Company is unsuccessful in disputing the assessment, the implications
could increase its anticipated effective tax rate, where applicable. In addition, the Company may be subject to additional tax liabilities, which
could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. The application, interpretation and
enforcement of the value-added tax, or VAT, and other taxes and related regulations applicable to medical device companies are complex
and evolving.

The Company conducts operations in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to certain taxes, including income, sales and use, employment,
value added and other taxes, in the United States and other jurisdictions in which the Company does business. A change in the tax laws in
the jurisdictions in which the Company does business, including an increase in tax rates or an adverse change in the treatment of an item of
income or expense, possibly with retroactive effect, could result in a material increase in the amount of taxes incurred.

The Company’s determination of its tax liability is subject to review by applicable U.S. and foreign tax authorities. Any adverse outcome of
such a review could harm the Company’s operating results and financial condition. The determination of the Company’s worldwide provision
for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment and, in the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions
and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is complex and uncertain. Moreover, as a multinational business, the Company has
subsidiaries that engage in many intercompany transactions in a variety of tax jurisdictions where the ultimate tax determination is complex
and uncertain. The taxing authorities of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates may challenge the Company’s methodologies, which
could impact its financial position and operating results.

Historically, the Company has allocated some of its employees’ and contractors’ time across multiple business entities in the international
jurisdictions in which the Company operates. If the Company determined that it had misclassified the employees’ or contractors’ employment
status or certain of its expenditures under local laws, the Company may be subjected to penalties or be required to pay withholding taxes for,
extend employee benefits to, provide compensation for unpaid overtime to, or otherwise incur substantially greater expenses with respect to
such employees and contractors. Any of the foregoing circumstances could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating
results and financial condition.

The Company is periodically reviewed and audited by tax authorities with respect to income and non-income taxes. Tax authorities may
disagree with certain positions the Company has taken, and we may have exposure to additional income and non-income tax liabilities which
could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition. Such authorities could impose additional taxes,
interest and penalties, claim that various withholding requirements apply to the Company or its subsidiaries or assert that benefits of tax
treaties are not available to the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, the Company’s future effective tax rates could be favorably or
unfavorably affected by changes in tax rates, changes in the valuation of the Company’s deferred tax assets or liabilities, the effectiveness of
its tax planning strategies, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. Such changes could have an adverse impact on the Company’s
financial condition.

As a result of these and other factors, the ultimate amount of tax obligations may differ from the amounts recorded in the Company’s financial
statements and any such difference may harm its operating results in future periods in which the Company changes the estimates of such tax
obligations or in which the ultimate tax outcome is determined.

A non-U.S. corporation is classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in any taxable
year in which either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income; or (2) at least 50% of the average quarterly value of its total gross
assets is attributable to assets that produce “passive income” or are held for the production of passive income. Based on the project
composition of the Company’s income and valuation of its assets, the Company does not believe it is a PFIC in 2021, and the Company does
not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or to become one in the future. However, because the PFIC status is subject to a number
of uncertainties, neither the Company nor its tax advisors can provide any assurances regarding the PFIC status. If the Company is a PFIC
for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder holds the Company’s common shares, the U.S. holder may be subject to adverse tax
consequences.

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or income tax
returns. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future events, enactments or changes in the tax law or rates are considered.
Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company records uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process whereby (1) a determination is made as to whether it is more
likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet
the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be
realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any
unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Significant judgment is required in the identification of uncertain tax
positions and in the estimation of penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions.

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (formerly FIN 48). ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to
be taken in the Company's income tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, disclosure, and transition. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company has no material uncertain tax
positions. The Company has R&D credits in the United States and has recorded reserves of $28,000 which offsets R&D credit deferred tax
assets. The Company does not expect any significant increases or

decreases to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on
any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company is subject to taxation in Costa Rica, Belgium, France, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy,
Germany, Austria, Spain, Argentina, Switzerland and the United States and the Company’s fiscal tax years 2017 through 2021 are subject to
examination by the tax authorities.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares and dilutive share equivalents outstanding
for the period, determined using the treasury-share method and the as-if converted method, for convertible securities, if inclusion of these is
dilutive.

If the Company reports a net loss, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for those periods because including the
dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding at the end of the periods presented have been excluded from the computation of
diluted shares:

In 2016, the Company also entered into a separate agreement with Dr. Chacón Quirós, the brother of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
Juan José Chacón Quirós, to maintain his clinic in Costa Rica as a MotivaImagine Excellence Center and to host and train physicians in the
use of the Company products in relevant procedures, among other services, in exchange for cash reimbursement of up to $4,500 per day
that such services are rendered. In December 2020, Dr. Chacón Quirós was granted options to purchase 22,068 shares vesting over four
years in equal annual installments, provided that he continues to provide these services at such times. During the years ended December 31,
2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid Dr. Chacón Quirós approximately $0.4 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for
services rendered.

14.     Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits, including vacation (paid absences) and year-end bonuses (also known as 13th month salary), are current
liabilities included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and are calculated at the non-discounted amount that the
Company expects to pay as a result of uncharged employee salaries or retentions.

Regarding employee termination benefits, Costa Rica labor laws establish the payment of benefits in case of death, retirement or termination
without cause. This compensation is calculated according to time served in the Company and the corresponding salary in the last six months
of employment and is equal to between 19.5 and 22 days salary for each year served, up to a maximum of 8 years.

Company policy recognizes termination benefits as expenses of the period during which the termination occurs, when the legal obligation is
assumed due to the aforementioned events.

15.     Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

Periodically, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company
accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made, and such expenditures can be reasonably
estimated. There have been no contingent liabilities requiring accrual or disclosure at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Indemnification

The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the
Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified
party, in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to
the Company’s technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future
payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable because it involves claims that may be made
against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its
directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising
from willful misconduct of the individual.

The Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. No liability associated
with such indemnifications has been recorded to date.

EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SHARE OPTION GRANT

1.

Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the individual (the “Participant”) named in the Notice of Share
Option Grant of this Option Agreement (the “Notice of Grant”) an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares, as set
forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to all of
the terms and conditions in this Option Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section
19(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this
Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

(a)

For  U.S.  taxpayers,  the  Option  will  be  designated  as  either  an  Incentive  Stock  Option  (“ISO”)  or  a
Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”). If designated in the Notice of Grant as an ISO, this Option is intended to qualify as an ISO
under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, if this Option is intended to be an
ISO, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d) it will be treated as an NSO. Further, if for any reason
this Option (or portion thereof) will not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion
thereof) shall be regarded as a NSO granted under the Plan. In no event will the Administrator, the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary  or  any  of  their  respective  employees  or  directors  have  any  liability  to  Participant  (or  any  other  person)  due  to  the
failure of the Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.

(b)

For non-U.S. taxpayers, the Option will be designated as an NSO.

2.

Vesting  Schedule.  Except  as  provided  in  Section  3,  the  Option  awarded  by  this  Option  Agreement  will  vest  in
accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Shares scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the
occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Option Agreement,
unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.

3.

Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some
lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Option at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Option
will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.

4.

Exercise of Option.

(a)

Right to Exercise. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and

may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

(b)

Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice (the “Exercise Notice”) in

the form attached as Exhibit A or in a manner and pursuant to such

    - 1 -

procedures  as  the  Administrator  may  determine,  which  will  state  the  election  to  exercise  the  Option,  the  number  of  Shares  in
respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may
be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice will be completed by Participant and
delivered  to  the  Company.  The  Exercise  Notice  will  be  accompanied  by  payment  of  the  aggregate  Exercise  Price  as  to  all
Exercised Shares together and of any Tax Obligations (as defined in Section 6(a)). This Option will be deemed to be exercised
upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price.

5.

Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be by any of the following, or a combination

thereof, at the election of Participant:

(a)

(b)

cash;

check;

(c)
in connection with the Plan; or

consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company

(d)

if Participant is a U.S. employee, surrender of other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of
surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares and that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances,  or  security  interests,  provided  that  accepting  such  Shares,  in  the  sole  discretion  of  the  Administrator,  will  not
result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.

6.

Tax Obligations.

(a)

Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s
employer (the “Employer”) or Parent or Subsidiary to which Participant is providing services (together, the Company, Employer
and/or Parent or Subsidiary to which the Participant is providing services, the “Service Recipient”), the ultimate liability for any
tax and/or social insurance liability obligations and requirements in connection with the Option, including, without limitation, (i)
all  federal,  state,  and  local  taxes  (including  the  Participant’s  Federal  Insurance  Contributions  Act  (FICA)  obligation)  that  are
required to be withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient or other payment of tax-related items related to Participant’s
participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant, (ii) the Participant’s and, to the extent required by the Company (or
Service Recipient), the Company’s (or Service Recipient’s) fringe benefit tax liability, if any, associated with the grant, vesting, or
exercise of the Option or sale of Shares, and (iii) any other Company (or Service Recipient) taxes the responsibility for which the
Participant  has,  or  has  agreed  to  bear,  with  respect  to  the  Option  (or  exercise  thereof  or  issuance  of  Shares  thereunder)
(collectively, the “Tax Obligations”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by
the Company or the Service Recipient. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (A) make
no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Option,
including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
exercise and the receipt of any dividends or other distributions,

    - 2 -

and (B) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or
eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax Obligations or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax
Obligations  in  more  than  one  jurisdiction  between  the  Date  of  Grant  and  the  date  of  any  relevant  taxable  or  tax  withholding
event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former employer, as applicable)
may be required to withhold or account for Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction. If Participant fails to make satisfactory
arrangements for the payment of any required Tax Obligations hereunder at the time of the applicable taxable event, Participant
acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares.

(b)

Tax  Withholding.  When  the  Option  is  exercised,  Participant  generally  will  recognize  immediate  U.S.
taxable  income  if  Participant  is  a  U.S.  taxpayer.  If  Participant  is  a  non-U.S.  taxpayer,  Participant  will  be  subject  to  applicable
taxes in his or her jurisdiction. Pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may specify from time to time, the Company
and/or  Service  Recipient  shall  withhold  the  amount  required  to  be  withheld  for  the  payment  of  Tax  Obligations.  The
Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit Participant
to satisfy such Tax Obligations, in whole or in part (without limitation), if permissible by applicable local law, by (i) paying cash,
(ii)  electing  to  have  the  Company  withhold  otherwise  deliverable  Shares  having  a  fair  market  value  equal  to  the  minimum
amount that is necessary to meet the withholding requirement for such Tax Obligations (or such greater amount as Participant
may  elect  if  permitted  by  the  Administrator,  if  such  greater  amount  would  not  result  in  adverse  financial  accounting
consequences), (iii) withholding the amount of such Tax Obligations from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to
Participant  by  the  Company  and/or  the  Service  Recipient,  (iv)  delivering  to  the  Company  already  vested  and  owned  Shares
having a fair market value equal to such Tax Obligations, or (v) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable
to Participant through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise)
equal to the minimum amount that is necessary to meet the withholding requirement for such Tax Obligations (or such greater
amount as Participant may elect if permitted by the Administrator, if such greater amount would not result in adverse financial
accounting consequences). To the extent determined appropriate by the Company in its discretion, it will have the right (but not
the obligation) to satisfy any Tax Obligations by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant. Further, if
Participant  is  subject  to  tax  in  more  than  one  jurisdiction  between  the  Date  of  Grant  and  a  date  of  any  relevant  taxable  or  tax
withholding  event,  as  applicable,  Participant  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  the  Company  and/or  the  Service  Recipient  (and/or
former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for tax in more than one jurisdiction. If Participant fails
to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required Tax Obligations hereunder at the time of the Option exercise,
Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such
amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

(c)

Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to Participant herein is an ISO,
and if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the
date two (2) years after the Date of

    - 3 -

Grant, or (ii) the date one (1) year after the date of exercise, Participant will immediately notify the Company in writing of such
disposition. Participant agrees that Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation
income recognized by Participant.

(d)

Code  Section  409A.  Under  Code  Section  409A,  a  stock  right  (such  as  the  Option)  that  vests  after
December 31, 2004 (or that vested on or prior to such date but which was materially modified after October 3, 2004) that was
granted with a per share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the fair
market value of an underlying share on the date of grant (a “discount option”) may be considered “deferred compensation.” A
stock right that is a “discount option” may result in (i) income recognition by the recipient of the stock right prior to the exercise
of the stock right, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. The
“discount option” may also result in additional state income, penalty and interest tax to the recipient of the stock right. Participant
acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this
Option equals or exceeds the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant in a later examination. Participant agrees that if the
IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the fair market value of a Share on
the date of grant, Participant shall be solely responsible for Participant’s costs related to such a determination.

7.

Rights as Shareholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of
the  rights  or  privileges  of  a  shareholder  of  the  Company  in  respect  of  any  Shares  deliverable  hereunder  unless  and  until
certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the
Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage
account). After such issuance, recordation, and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with
respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

8.

No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING
OF  SHARES  PURSUANT  TO  THE  VESTING  SCHEDULE  HEREOF  IS  EARNED  ONLY  BY  CONTINUING  AS  A
SERVICE  PROVIDER,  WHICH  UNLESS  PROVIDED  OTHERWISE  UNDER  APPLICABLE  LAW  IS  AT  THE  WILL  OF
THE  COMPANY  (OR  THE  SERVICE  RECIPIENT)  AND  NOT  THROUGH  THE  ACT  OF  BEING  HIRED,  BEING
GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES  THAT  THIS  OPTION  AGREEMENT,  THE  TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED  HEREUNDER  AND  THE
VESTING  SCHEDULE  SET  FORTH  HEREIN  DO  NOT  CONSTITUTE  AN  EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED  PROMISE  OF
CONTINUED  ENGAGEMENT  AS  A  SERVICE  PROVIDER  FOR  THE  VESTING  PERIOD,  FOR  ANY  PERIOD,  OR  AT
ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY
(OR  THE  SERVICE  RECIPIENT)  TO  TERMINATE  PARTICIPANT’S  RELATIONSHIP  AS  A  SERVICE  PROVIDER,
SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, WHICH TERMINATION, UNLESS

    - 4 -

PROVIDED OTHERWISE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, MAY BE AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

9.

Nature of Grant. In accepting the Option, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a)

the  grant  of  the  Option  is  voluntary  and  occasional  and  does  not  create  any  contractual  or  other  right  to

receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past;

(b)

all  decisions  with  respect  to  future  option  or  other  grants,  if  any,  will  be  at  the  sole  discretion  of  the

Company;

(c)

(d)

compensation;

Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

the  Option  and  any  Shares  acquired  under  the  Plan  are  not  intended  to  replace  any  pension  rights  or

(e)

the Option and Shares acquired under the Plan and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or
expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service
payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(f)

the future value of the Shares underlying the Option is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted

with certainty;

(g)

(h)

if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;

if Participant exercises the Option and acquires Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease

in value, even below the Exercise Price;

(i)

for purposes of the Option, Participant’s engagement as a Service Provider will be considered terminated
as of the date Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary (regardless of the
reason  for  such  termination  and  whether  or  not  later  found  to  be  invalid  or  in  breach  of  employment  laws  in  the  jurisdiction
where  Participant  is  a  Service  Provider  or  the  terms  of  Participant’s  employment  or  service  agreement,  if  any),  and  unless
otherwise expressly provided in this Option Agreement (including by reference in the Notice of Grant to other arrangements or
contracts) or determined by the Administrator, (i) Participant’s right to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as
of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual
notice  period  or  any  period  of  “garden  leave”  or  similar  period  mandated  under  employment  laws  in  the  jurisdiction  where
Participant is a Service Provider or Participant’s employment or service agreement, if any, unless Participant is providing bona
fide  services  during  such  time);  and  (ii)  the  period  (if  any)  during  which  Participant  may  exercise  the  Option  after  such
termination of Participant’s engagement as a Service Provider will commence on the date Participant ceases to actively provide
services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is
employed or terms of Participant’s engagement

    - 5 -

agreement,  if  any;  the  Administrator  shall  have  the  exclusive  discretion  to  determine  when  Participant  is  no  longer  actively
providing services for purposes of his or her Option grant (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing
services while on a leave of absence and consistent with local law);

(j)

unless  otherwise  provided  in  the  Plan  or  by  the  Company  in  its  discretion,  the  Option  and  the  benefits
evidenced  by  this  Option  Agreement  do  not  create  any  entitlement  to  have  the  Option  or  any  such  benefits  transferred  to,  or
assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction
affecting the Shares; and

(k)

the following provisions apply only if Participant is providing services outside the United States:

the Option and the Shares subject to the Option are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary

for any purpose;

Participant  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  none  of  the  Company,  the  Service  Recipient,  or  any  Parent  or
Subsidiary  shall  be  liable  for  any  foreign  exchange  rate  fluctuation  between  Participant’s  local
currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due
to Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired
upon exercise; and

no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from
the  termination  of  Participant’s  engagement  as  a  Service  Provider  (for  any  reason  whatsoever,
whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where
Participant is a Service Provider or the terms of Participant’s employment or service agreement, if
any), and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which Participant is otherwise not entitled,
Participant  irrevocably  agrees  never  to  institute  any  claim  against  the  Company,  any  Parent,  any
Subsidiary or the Service Recipient, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and
releases the Company, any Parent or Subsidiary and the Service Recipient from any such claim; if,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then,
by participating in the Plan, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue
such  claim  and  agrees  to  execute  any  and  all  documents  necessary  to  request  dismissal  or
withdrawal of such claim.

10.

No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company
making  any  recommendations  regarding  Participant’s  participation  in  the  Plan,  or  Participant’s  acquisition  or  sale  of  the
underlying  Shares.  Participant  is  hereby  advised  to  consult  with  his  or  her  own  personal  tax,  legal  and  financial  advisors
regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

    - 6 -

11.

Data Privacy. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in
electronic  or  other  form,  of  Participant’s  personal  data  as  described  in  this  Option  Agreement  and  any  other  Option  grant
materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer or other Service Recipient, the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary
for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Participant,
including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number
or  other  identification  number,  salary,  nationality,  job  title,  any  Shares  or  directorships  held  in  the  Company,  details  of  all
Options  or  any  other  entitlement  to  Shares  awarded,  canceled,  exercised,  vested,  unvested  or  outstanding  in  Participant’s
favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

Participant  understands  that  Data  will  be  transferred  to  a  share  plan  service  provider  as  may  be  selected  by  the
Company  in  the  future,  which  is  assisting  the  Company  with  the  implementation,  administration,  and  management  of  the
Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the
recipient’s  country  of  operation  (e.g.,  the  United  States)  may  have  different  data  privacy  laws  and  protections  than
Participant’s country. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list
with  the  names  and  addresses  of  any  potential  recipients  of  the  Data  by  contacting  his  or  her  local  human  resources
representative.  Participant  authorizes  the  Company  and  any  other  possible  recipients  which  may  assist  the  Company
(presently  or  in  the  future)  with  implementing,  administering  and  managing  the  Plan  to  receive,  possess,  use,  retain  and
transfer  the  Data,  in  electronic  or  other  form,  for  the  sole  purposes  of  implementing,  administering  and  managing
Participant’s  participation  in  the  Plan.  Participant  understands  that  Data  will  be  held  only  as  long  as  is  necessary  to
implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that if he or she resides
outside  the  United  States,  he  or  she  may,  at  any  time,  view  Data,  request  additional  information  about  the  storage  and
processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without
cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she
is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to
revoke his or her consent, his or her engagement as a Service Provider and career with the Employer will not be adversely
affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be
able  to  grant  Participant  Options  or  other  equity  awards  or  administer  or  maintain  such  awards.  Therefore,  Participant
understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For
more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands
that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

23.

Country Addendum. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Option Agreement, this Option shall be subject to any

Option.

No Waiver. Either party’s failure to enforce any provision or provisions of this Option Agreement shall not in any
way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions, nor prevent that party from thereafter enforcing each and every
other provision of this Option Agreement. The rights granted both parties herein are cumulative and shall not constitute a waiver
of either party’s right to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the circumstances.

26.

Tax Consequences. Participant has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S.
tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Option Agreement. With respect to such matters,
Participant  relies  solely  on  such  advisors  and  not  on  any  statements  or  representations  of  the  Company  or  any  of  its  agents,
written  or  oral.  Participant  understands  that  Participant  (and  not  the  Company)  shall  be  responsible  for  Participant’s  own  tax
liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Option Agreement.

SHARE OPTION AGREEMENT

COUNTRY ADDENDUM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Country Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to Participant under the Plan if
Participant works in one of the countries listed below. If Participant is a citizen or resident of a country (or is considered as such
for local law purposes) other than the one in which he or she is currently working or if Participant relocates to another country
after receiving the Option, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained
herein will be applicable to Participant.

Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Country Addendum shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan, and/or the
Share Option Agreement to which this Country Addendum is attached.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Country Addendum also includes notifications relating to exchange control and other issues of which Participant should be
aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other
laws in effect in the countries listed in this Country Addendum. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result,
the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the notifications herein as the only source of information relating
to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be outdated when Participant exercises
the Option or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the notifications are general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not
in  a  position  to  assure  Participant  of  any  particular  result.  Accordingly,  Participant  is  advised  to  seek  appropriate  professional
advice as to how the relevant laws in Participant’s country may apply to Participant’s situation.

Finally,  if  Participant  is  a  citizen  or  resident  of  a  country  other  than  the  one  in  which  Participant  is  currently  working  (or  is
considered as such for local law purposes) or if Participant moves to another country after the Option is granted, the information
contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SHARE OPTION GRANT

1.

Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the individual (the “Participant”) named in the Notice of Share
Option Grant of this Option Agreement (the “Notice of Grant”) an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares, as set
forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to all of
the terms and conditions in this Option Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section
19(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this
Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

(a)

For  U.S.  taxpayers,  the  Option  will  be  designated  as  either  an  Incentive  Stock  Option  (“ISO”)  or  a
Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”). If designated in the Notice of Grant as an ISO, this Option is intended to qualify as an ISO
under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, if this Option is intended to be an
ISO, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d) it will be treated as an NSO. Further, if for any reason
this Option (or portion thereof) will not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion
thereof) shall be regarded as a NSO granted under the Plan. In no event will the Administrator, the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary  or  any  of  their  respective  employees  or  directors  have  any  liability  to  Participant  (or  any  other  person)  due  to  the
failure of the Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.

(b)

For non-U.S. taxpayers, the Option will be designated as an NSO.

2.

Vesting  Schedule.  Except  as  provided  in  Section  3,  the  Option  awarded  by  this  Option  Agreement  will  vest  in
accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Shares scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the
occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Option Agreement,
unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.

3.

Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some
lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Option at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Option
will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.

4.

Exercise of Option.

may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

(a)

Right to Exercise. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and

(b)

Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice (the “Exercise Notice”) in
the form attached as Exhibit A or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may determine, which will
state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised
Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan.  The  Exercise  Notice  will  be  completed  by  Participant  and  delivered  to  the  Company.  The  Exercise  Notice  will  be
accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as

    - 1 -

to  all  Exercised  Shares  together  and  of  any  Tax  Obligations  (as  defined  in  Section  6(a)).  This  Option  will  be  deemed  to  be
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price.

5.

Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be by any of the following, or a combination

thereof, at the election of Participant:

(a)

(b)

cash;

check;

(c)
in connection with the Plan; or

consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company

(d)

if Participant is a U.S. employee, surrender of other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of
surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares and that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances,  or  security  interests,  provided  that  accepting  such  Shares,  in  the  sole  discretion  of  the  Administrator,  will  not
result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.

6.

Tax Obligations.

(a)

Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s
employer (the “Employer”) or Parent or Subsidiary to which Participant is providing services (together, the Company, Employer
and/or Parent or Subsidiary to which the Participant is providing services, the “Service Recipient”), the ultimate liability for any
tax and/or social insurance liability obligations and requirements in connection with the Option, including, without limitation, (i)
all  federal,  state,  and  local  taxes  (including  the  Participant’s  Federal  Insurance  Contributions  Act  (FICA)  obligation)  that  are
required to be withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient or other payment of tax-related items related to Participant’s
participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant, (ii) the Participant’s and, to the extent required by the Company (or
Service Recipient), the Company’s (or Service Recipient’s) fringe benefit tax liability, if any, associated with the grant, vesting, or
exercise of the Option or sale of Shares, and (iii) any other Company (or Service Recipient) taxes the responsibility for which the
Participant  has,  or  has  agreed  to  bear,  with  respect  to  the  Option  (or  exercise  thereof  or  issuance  of  Shares  thereunder)
(collectively, the “Tax Obligations”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by
the Company or the Service Recipient. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (A) make
no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Option,
including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
exercise and the receipt of any dividends or other distributions, and (B) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure
the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax Obligations or achieve any
particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant
and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or
the Service Recipient (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Obligations in more
than  one  jurisdiction.  If  Participant  fails  to  make  satisfactory  arrangements  for  the  payment  of  any  required  Tax  Obligations
hereunder at the time of the applicable taxable event, Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to issue
or deliver the Shares.

    - 2 -

(b)

Tax  Withholding.  When  the  Option  is  exercised,  Participant  generally  will  recognize  immediate  U.S.

taxable income if Participant is a U.S. taxpayer.

(c)

Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to Participant herein is an ISO,
and if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the
date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one (1) year after the date of exercise, Participant will immediately
notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Participant agrees that Participant may be subject to income tax withholding
by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Participant.

(d)

Code  Section  409A.  Under  Code  Section  409A,  a  stock  right  (such  as  the  Option)  that  vests  after
December 31, 2004 (or that vested on or prior to such date but which was materially modified after October 3, 2004) that was
granted with a per share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the fair
market value of an underlying share on the date of grant (a “discount option”) may be considered “deferred compensation.” A
stock right that is a “discount option” may result in (i) income recognition by the recipient of the stock right prior to the exercise
of the stock right, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. The
“discount option” may also result in additional state income, penalty and interest tax to the recipient of the stock right. Participant
acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this
Option equals or exceeds the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant in a later examination. Participant agrees that if the
IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the fair market value of a Share on
the date of grant, Participant shall be solely responsible for Participant’s costs related to such a determination.

7.

Rights as Shareholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of
the  rights  or  privileges  of  a  shareholder  of  the  Company  in  respect  of  any  Shares  deliverable  hereunder  unless  and  until
certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the
Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage
account). After such issuance, recordation, and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with
respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

8.

No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING
OF  SHARES  PURSUANT  TO  THE  VESTING  SCHEDULE  HEREOF  IS  EARNED  ONLY  BY  CONTINUING  AS  A
SERVICE  PROVIDER,  WHICH  UNLESS  PROVIDED  OTHERWISE  UNDER  APPLICABLE  LAW  IS  AT  THE  WILL  OF
THE  COMPANY  (OR  THE  SERVICE  RECIPIENT)  AND  NOT  THROUGH  THE  ACT  OF  BEING  HIRED,  BEING
GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES  THAT  THIS  OPTION  AGREEMENT,  THE  TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED  HEREUNDER  AND  THE
VESTING  SCHEDULE  SET  FORTH  HEREIN  DO  NOT  CONSTITUTE  AN  EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED  PROMISE  OF

APPENDIX

PROVISIONS FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS

This  Appendix  includes  (i)  additional  terms  and  conditions  applicable  to  any  Participant  providing  services  to  the
Company  or  a  Parent  or  Subsidiary  outside  the  United  States,  and  (ii)  additional  terms  applicable  to  Participants  providing
services to the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary in the countries identified below. These terms and conditions are in addition to
those set forth in the Option Agreement and to the extent there are any inconsistencies between these terms and conditions and
those  set  forth  in  the  Option  Agreement,  these  terms  and  conditions  shall  prevail.  Any capitalized term used in this Appendix
without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan or the Option Agreement, as applicable.

Participant understands that this Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to him
or her under the Plan if he or she works in one of the countries listed below. If Participant is a citizen or resident of a country
other than the one in which he or she is currently working (or if Participant is considered as such for local law purposes) or if
Participant transfers employment to another country after receiving an Award in the Plan, Participant acknowledges and agrees
that  the  Company  will,  in  its  discretion,  determine  the  extent  to  which  the  terms  and  conditions  herein  will  be  applicable  to
Participant.

This  Appendix  also  includes  notifications  that  contain  information  regarding  securities  laws,  exchange  controls  and
certain  other  issues  of  which  the  Participant  should  be  aware  with  respect  to  the  Participant’s  participation  in  the  Plan.  The
information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2018.
Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company recommends that the Participant not rely on the
information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in
the  Plan  because  the  information  included  herein  may  be  out  of  date  at  the  time  that  the  Shares  under  the  Plan  are  issued  to
Participant or Participant subsequently sells such Shares.

In  addition,  the  information  contained  herein  is  general  in  nature  and  may  not  apply  to  the  Participant’s  particular
situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is
advised  to  seek  appropriate  professional  advice  as  to  how  the  relevant  laws  in  my  country  may  apply  to  his  or  her  particular
situation.

Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working (or
if he or she is considered as such for local law purposes) or if he or she moves to another country after all or any portion of the
Award has been granted under the Plan, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant.

Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant exchange control and tax laws

in his or her country may apply to his or her individual situation.

GLOBAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO PARTICIPANTS IN ALL COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THE
UNITED STATES

1.

Foreign Exchange Considerations. Participant understands and agrees that neither the Company nor any Parent or
Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the U.S. dollar that
may affect the value of the Award granted to Participant under the Plan, or of any amounts due to under the Plan or as a result of
the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired under the Plan. Participant agrees and acknowledges that he or she will bear any, and
all risk associated with the exchange or fluctuation of currency associated with his or her participation in the Plan. Participant
acknowledges and agrees that the Participant may be responsible for reporting inbound transactions or fund transfers that exceed
a certain amount. Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the exchange control regulations apply
to the Award and Participant’s specific situation and understands that the relevant laws and regulations can change frequently
and occasionally on a retroactive basis.

2.

Tax Withholding Considerations. Participant acknowledges and agrees that, regardless of any action taken by the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary with respect to any or all Tax Obligations”) related to his or her participation in the Plan
and legally applicable to me including, without limitation, in connection with the grant of the Option, the sale of Shares acquired
under the Plan and/or the receipt of any dividends on such Shares, the ultimate liability for all Tax Obligations is and remains
Participant’s  responsibility  and  may  exceed  the  amount  actually  withheld  by  the  Company  or  any  Parent  or  Subsidiary.
Furthermore,  Participant  acknowledges  that  the  Company  and/or  Parent  or  Subsidiary  (a)  make  no  representations  or
undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Option or other benefits under
the Plan and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant of the Option, other benefits or
any aspect of his or her participation in the Plan to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax Obligations or achieve any particular
tax result. Further, if Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction or change his or her jurisdiction of primary
residence or employment between the date the Option is granted and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as
applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or a Parent or Subsidiary (or former employer, as applicable) may be
required to withhold or account for Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to the issuance of Shares under the Plan
or  any  other  relevant  taxable  or  tax  withholding  event,  as  applicable,  Participant  agrees  to  make  adequate  arrangements
satisfactory to the Company and/or any Parent or Subsidiary to satisfy all Tax Obligations. In this regard, Participant authorizes
the Company and/or any non-Subsidiary, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all
Tax Obligations by one or a combination of the following: (I) withholding from Participant’s wages or other compensation paid
to him or her or (II) withholding from proceeds of the sale of the Shares purchased under the Plan either through a voluntary sale
or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization). Depending on the
withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax Obligations by considering applicable maximum applicable
withholding  rates,  in  which  case  Participant  will  receive  a  refund  of  any  over-withheld  amount  in  cash  and  will  have  no
entitlement  to  the  stock  equivalent.  Finally,  Participant  agrees  to  pay  to  the  Company  or  applicable  Parent  or  Subsidiary  any
amount of Tax Obligations that the Company or Parent or Subsidiary may be required to withhold as a result of Participant’s
participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue Shares
under  the  Plan  on  Participant’s  behalf  and/or  refuse  to  issue  or  deliver  the  Shares  or  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  Shares  if
Participant fails to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations.

other  equity  awards  or  administer  or  maintain  such  awards.  Therefore,  the  Participant  understands  that  refusing  or
withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the

Subsidiaries  are  providing  any  tax,  legal  or  financial  advice,  nor  is  the  Company  or  any  Parent  or  Subsidiary  making  any
recommendations  or  assessments  regarding  Participant’s  participation  in  the  Plan,  or  his  or  her  acquisition  or  sale  of  the
underlying  Shares,  or  any  subsequent  disposal  or  retention  of  such  Shares.  Participant  understands  that  he  or  she  is  hereby
advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan
before taking any action related to the Plan.

Stock Option Act.

    - 13 -

With respect to Danish employees comprised (covered) by the Danish Stock Option Act, the following shall apply:

Participant acknowledges that he or she has received an employer statement in Danish setting forth the terms of his or her

Award, a copy of which is included as Exhibit B to this Option Agreement.

In the event that (i) Participant’s employer (“Employer”) terminates his or her employment for reasons other than his or
her breach of the terms or conditions of his or her employment or any applicable employment agreement covering Participant
(collectively, the “Employment Terms”), or (ii) Participant terminates the Employment Terms due to material breach on the part
of  the  Company  or  Employer,  Participant,  irrespective  of  the  termination,  will  be  entitled  to  receive  settlement  of  any  Option
granted in accordance with this Option Agreement and the Plan.

If  Participant  terminates  his  or  her  employment  with  Employer  without  the  Company  or  Employer  being  in  material

breach of the Employment Terms, all Options will be forfeited and lapse without further notice or compensation.

If  Employer  terminates  and/or  summarily  dismisses  Participant  due  to  his  or  her  breach  of  the  Employment  Terms,  all

unvested Options will be forfeited and lapse without further notice or compensation at the effective date of termination.

In the event of Participant’s death, the Option will lapse without further notice and compensation as at the time of death.
The estate and/or the beneficiaries are subject to the terms governing the Option and the related Shares, including this Option
Agreement and the Plan.

Upon  retirement  due  to  old  age  ("folkepension")  or  separate  agreement  in  this  respect  and  in  the  event  of  disability,
Participant, irrespective of the termination of employment, will be entitled to settlement of unvested Options in accordance with
the terms of this Option Agreement and the Plan.

The  Option  is  not  to  be  included  in  the  calculation  of  holiday  allowance,  severance  pay,  statutory  allowance  and

compensation, pension and similar payments.

For the avoidance of doubt, under this heading, the term “Stock Option Act” shall only apply to employees who by virtue

of applicable choice of law rules fall within Danish employment law regulations and the scope of the Danish Stock Option Act.

Foreign Bank Account Reporting.

If Participant establishes an account holding Shares or an account holding cash outside of Denmark, he or she must report the
account  to  the  Danish  Tax  Administration,  the  form  for  which  can  be  obtained  from  a  local  bank.  (Please  note  that  these
obligations are separate from and in addition to the obligations described below.)

To the extent permitted by the Company, Participant may hold Shares acquired under the Plan in a safety-deposit account (e.g.,
brokerage  account)  with  either  a  Danish  bank  or  with  an  approved  foreign  broker  or  bank.  If  the  Shares  are  held  with  a  non-
Danish broker or bank, Participant is required to inform the Danish Tax Administration about the safety-deposit account. For this
purpose, a Danish Plan participant must file a Declaration V (Erklaering V) with the Danish Tax

Administration. Both Participant and the bank/broker must sign the Declaration V. By signing the Declaration V, the bank/broker
undertakes  an  obligation,  without  further  request  from  Participant,  not  later  than  February  1  of  each  year,  to  forward  certain
information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the content of the account. In the event that the applicable broker or
bank with which the account is held does not wish to, or pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume
such obligations to report, Participant will be solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign account and
any shares acquired and held in such account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of Participant’s annual income tax return.
By signing the Form V, Participant at the same time authorize the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account. A sample
of the Declaration V can be found at: www.skat.dk/getFile.aspx?Id=47392.

In addition, when Participant opens a deposit account or brokerage account for the purpose of holding cash outside of Denmark,
the account will be treated as a deposit account because cash may be held in the account. Therefore, Participant must also file a
Declaration  K  (Erklaering  K)  with  the  Danish  Tax  Administration.  Both  Participant  and  the  bank/broker  must  sign  the
Declaration K. By signing the Declaration K, the bank/broker undertakes an obligation, without further request from Participant,
not later than February 1 of each year, to forward certain information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the content of
the account. In the event that the applicable financial institution with which the account is held does not wish to, or pursuant to
the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligations to report, Participant will be solely responsible for
providing  certain  details  regarding  the  foreign  account  and  any  shares  acquired  and  held  in  such  account  to  the  Danish  Tax
Administration as part of his or her annual income tax return. By signing the Form K, Participant at the same time authorize the
Danish Tax Administration to examine the account. A sample of the Declaration K can be found at: www.skat.dk/getFile.aspx?

Participant’s  employer  may  calculate  the  Tax  Obligations  to  be  withheld  and  accounted  for  by  reference  to  the  maximum
applicable  rates,  without  prejudice  to  any  right  the  Participant  may  have  to  recover  any  overpayment  from  relevant  U.K.  tax
authorities.  The  Participant  understands  and  agrees  that  if  payment  or  withholding  of  any  income  tax  liability  arising  in
connection with the Participant’s participation in the Plan is not made by the Participant to his or her employer within ninety days
of the end of the tax year of the event giving rise to such income tax liability or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c)
of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), that the amount of any uncollected income tax will
constitute  a  loan  owed  by  the  Participant  to  his  or  her  employer,  effective  on  the  Due  Date.  The  Participant  understands  and

Company (within the meaning of such terms for purposes of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), he or she will not be eligible for

director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by the Participant by the Due Date, the amount of
any uncollected income tax will constitute an additional benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National
Insurance Contributions will be payable. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she is be responsible for reporting and
paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs under the self-assessment
regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Participant’s employer (as appropriate) for the value of any primary and (to the
extent legally possible) secondary class 1 National Insurance Contributions due on this additional benefit which the Company or
the  Participant’s  employer  may  recover  from  the  Participant  by  any  of  the  means  referred  to  in  the  Plan  and/or  this  Option
Agreement.

share  market  and  the  Parent  Company's  results.
Consequently, there is no guarantee that the exercise
of the Options will trigger a profit. The Options are
not  to  be  included  in  the  calculation  of  holiday

ESTABLISHMENT LABS HOLDINGS INC.
2018 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of [_________, 20__]

by and between Establishment Labs Holdings Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (the “Company”), and [____________] (the
“Participant”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Company

has granted to the Participant effective as of the date hereof (the “Award Date”), a credit of share units under the Plan (the
“Award”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Participant, and the mutual

promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:

1.
terms in the Plan.

Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such

Grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an Award with respect to an

2.
aggregate of [_________] share units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14(a) of the Plan) (the “Restricted Share
Units”). As used herein, the term “share unit” shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping
purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Company’s Common Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 14(a) of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Restricted Share Units shall be used solely as a
device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if such Restricted Share Units vest pursuant
to Section 3. The Restricted Share Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind.

Vesting. Subject to Section 8 below, the Award shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to twenty-five percent
3.
(25%) of the total number of Restricted Share Units (subject to adjustment under Section 14(a) of the Plan) on each of the first,
second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Award Date.

Continuance of Employment/Service. The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each

4.
applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under
this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the
Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination
of employment or services as provided in Section 8 below or under the Plan.

Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Company,

affects the Participant’s status as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Participant
any right to remain employed by or in service to the Company or any Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the
Company or any Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or services, or affects the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Participant’s other compensation or benefits. Nothing in this Agreement, however, is
intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his or her consent thereto.

    1

5.

Dividend and Voting Rights.

    Limitations on Rights Associated with Units. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company,

(a)
no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights,
with respect to the Restricted Share Units and any Common Shares underlying or issuable in respect of such Restricted Share
Units until such Common Shares are actually issued to and held of record by the Participant. No adjustments will be made for
dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of such shares.

    Dividend Equivalent Rights Distributions. As of any date that the Company pays an ordinary cash dividend on its

(b)
Common Shares, the Company shall credit the Participant with an additional number of Restricted Share Units equal to (i) the per
share cash dividend paid by the Company on its Common Shares on such date, multiplied by (ii) the total number of Restricted
Share Units (including any dividend equivalents previously credited hereunder) (with such total number adjusted pursuant to
Section 14(a) of the Plan) subject to the Award as of the related dividend payment record date, divided by (iii) the fair market
value of a share of Common Shares on the date of payment of such dividend. Any Restricted Share Units credited pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall be subject to the same vesting, payment and other terms, conditions and
restrictions as the original Restricted Share Units to which they relate. No crediting of Restricted Share Units shall be made
pursuant to this Section 5(b) with respect to any Restricted Share Units which, as of such record date, have either been paid
pursuant to Section 7 or terminated pursuant to Section 8.

Restrictions on Transfer. Neither the Award, nor any interest therein or amount or shares payable in respect thereof may
6.
be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The
transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers to the Company, or (b) transfers by will or the laws
of descent and distribution.

Timing and Manner of Payment of Restricted Share Units. On or as soon as administratively practical following each

7.
vesting of the applicable portion of the total Award pursuant to Section 3 hereof or Section 14 of the Plan (and in all events not
later than two and one-half months after the applicable vesting date), the Company shall deliver to the Participant a number of
Common Shares (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as
determined by the Company in its discretion) equal to the number of Restricted Share Units subject to this Award that vest on the
applicable vesting date, unless such Restricted Share Units terminate prior to the given vesting date pursuant to Section 8. The
Company’s obligation to deliver Common Shares or otherwise make payment with respect to vested Restricted Share Units is
subject to the condition precedent that the Participant or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to
the vested Restricted Share Units deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or assurances required pursuant
to Section 20 of the Plan. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to any Restricted Share Units that are paid or
that terminate pursuant to Section 8.

8.
Effect of Termination of Employment or Service. The Participant’s Restricted Share Units shall terminate to the extent
such units have not become vested prior to the first date the Participant is no longer employed by or in service to the Company or
one of its Subsidiaries, regardless of the reason for the termination of the Participant’s employment or service with the Company
or a Subsidiary, whether with or without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily. If any unvested Restricted Share Units are terminated
hereunder, such Restricted Share Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the applicable termination date
without payment

    2

of any consideration by the Company and without any other action by the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal
representative, as the case may be.

9.
Adjustments Upon Specified Events. Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Company’s stock
contemplated by Section 14(a) of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such stock), the
Administrator shall make adjustments in accordance with such section in the number of Restricted Share Units then outstanding
and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Award. No such adjustment shall be made with respect
to any ordinary cash dividend for which dividend equivalents are credited pursuant to Section 5(b).

Tax Withholding. Subject to Section 20 of the Plan, upon any distribution of Common Shares in respect of the Restricted

10.
Share Units, the Company shall automatically reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the
appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value (with the “fair market value” of such shares
determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan), to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company or
its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution of shares at any applicable withholding rate. In the event that the Company
cannot legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such reduction of shares, or in the event of a cash payment or any other
withholding event in respect of the Restricted Share Units, the Company (or a Subsidiary) shall be entitled to require a cash
payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required
by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution or payment.

Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Company at its
11.
principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Participant at the Participant’s last address reflected on the Company’s
records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be given
only when received, but if the Participant is no longer an employee of or in service to the Company, shall be deemed to have been
duly given by the Company when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and
deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the
United States Government.

12.
Plan. The Award and all rights of the Participant under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the
provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference. The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this
Agreement. The Participant acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan, and this
Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer
discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Participant
unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so
conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.

13.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior
understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this
Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 19 of the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Company.
The Company may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely
affect the interests of the Participant hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of
the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof.

    3

Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.

14.
This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be
construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall
have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any,
with respect to the Restricted Share Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Shares as a general
unsecured creditor with respect to Restricted Share Units, as and when payable hereunder.

15.
deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be

16.
to alter or affect any provision hereof.

Section Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the

17.
British Virgin Islands without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.

18.
Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.

Construction. It is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to

Clawback Policy. The Restricted Share Units are subject to the terms of the Company’s recoupment, clawback or similar

19.
policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain
circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of the Restricted Share Units or any Common Shares or other cash or property
received with respect to the Restricted Share Units (including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon
payment of the Restricted Share Units).

No Advice Regarding Grant. The Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own tax, legal and/or

20.
investment advisors with respect to any advice the Participant may determine is needed or appropriate with respect to the
Restricted Share Units (including, without limitation, to determine the foreign, state, local, estate and/or gift tax consequences
with respect to the Award). Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, affiliates or advisors makes any representation
(except for the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Award Agreement) or recommendation with respect to the Award.
Except for the withholding rights set forth in Section 10 above, the Participant is solely responsible for any and all tax liability
that may arise with respect to the Award.

Data Privacy. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in
21.
electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Award Agreement and any other Restricted Share
Unit grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Company, or other or Parent or Subsidiary to which Participant is
providing services (the Company and/or Parent or Subsidiary to which the Participant is providing services, collectively the
“Service Recipient”) the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering
and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Participant understands that the Company and the Service Recipient may hold certain personal information about

Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social
insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the

    4

Company, details of all Restricted Share Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested,
unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and
managing the Plan.

Participant understands that Data will be transferred to a share plan service provider as may be selected by the

Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration, and management of the
Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the
recipients’ country of operation (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than
Participant’s country. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list
with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources
representative. Participant authorizes the Company, any share plan service provider selected by the Company and any other
possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and
managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of
implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be
held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant
understands if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional
information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the
consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further,
Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not
consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her status as a service provider and career with the
Service Recipient will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s
consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Participant Restricted Share Units or other equity awards or
administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may
affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to
consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources
representative.

Country Addendum. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, the Restricted Share Unit grant shall be

22.
subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the appendix (if any) to this Award Agreement for Participant’s country.
Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Country Addendum (if any), the special terms and
conditions for such country will apply to Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and
conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Country Addendum constitutes part of this Award
Agreement.

COUNTRY ADDENDUM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This  Country  Addendum  includes  additional  terms  and  conditions  that  govern  the  Award  of  Restricted  Share  Units  granted  to
Participant  under  the  Plan  if  Participant  works  in  one  of  the  countries  listed  below.  If  Participant  is  a  citizen  or  resident  of  a
country  (or  is  considered  as  such  for  local  law  purposes)  other  than  the  one  in  which  he  or  she  is  currently  working  or  if
Participant relocates to another country after receiving the Award of Restricted Share Units, the Company will, in its discretion,
determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will be applicable to Participant.

Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Country Addendum shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan, and/or the
Restricted Share Unit Agreement to which this Country Addendum is attached.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Country Addendum also includes notifications relating to exchange control and other issues of which Participant should be
aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other
laws in effect in the countries listed in this Country Addendum, as of [DATE] (except as otherwise noted below). Such laws are
often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the notifications
herein  as  the  only  source  of  information  relating  to  the  consequences  of  his  or  her  participation  in  the  Plan  because  the
information  may  be  outdated  when  Participant  vests  in  the  Restricted  Share  Units  and  acquires  Shares,  or  when  Participant
subsequently sell Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the notifications are general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not
in  a  position  to  assure  Participant  of  any  particular  result.  Accordingly,  Participant  is  advised  to  seek  appropriate  professional
advice as to how the relevant laws in Participant’s country may apply to Participant’s situation.

Finally,  if  Participant  is  a  citizen  or  resident  of  a  country  other  than  the  one  in  which  Participant  is  currently  working  (or  is
considered  as  such  for  local  law  purposes)  or  if  Participant  moves  to  another  country  after  receiving  the  Award  of  Restricted
Share Units, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.
