On March 9, 2023, NANO-X IMAGING LTD (the “Company”) issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

In the press release the Company uses certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures that appear in the press release exclude (among other things) legal and other related expenses in relation to the following legal matters among other matters.

 

For information on other components that were excluded in preparation of the non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the press release.

 

The information contained in this report, except the third paragraph of Exhibit 99.1, which contains certain quotes by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is hereby incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement on Form S-8, File No. 333-248322.

 

As previously disclosed, in September 2020, two securities class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and certain current officers and a director, which were subsequently consolidated and captioned as White v. Nano-X Imaging Ltd. et al, Case No. 1:20-cv-04355, alleging violations of securities laws on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s publicly traded securities between August 21, 2020 and September 15, 2020, and seeking unspecified damages. On December 7, 2020, proposed lead plaintiffs submissions were fully briefed, on August 10, 2022, Magistrate Judge Marcia M. Henry issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending that the Court approve Derson O. Jolteus and Edward Ko as lead plaintiffs, and on August 30, 2022, Judge William Kuntz adopted the Report and Recommendation. On June 24, 2022, the Company moved to consolidate this action with the action captioned McLaughlin v. Nano-X Imaging Ltd. et al, Case No: 1:21-cv-05517, discussed further below. The Company’s motion to consolidate remains outstanding. On October 31, 2022, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which alleges that defendants violated the federal securities laws in connection with certain disclosures regarding the Company’s FDA submission and customer contracts. Lead Plaintiffs seek to represent a class of investors who purchased the Company’s publicly traded securities between August 21, 2020 and September 15, 2020. On February 3, 2023, the Company moved to stay this action in favor of the McLaughlin action, or, in the alternative, until the Company’s pending motion to consolidate was decided. The Company has not yet responded to the amended complaint. The Company has not accrued any losses other than legal fees with connection with this lawsuit. The Company’s position is that this lawsuit has no merit, and it intends to defend its position vigorously. As of date, the Company is unable to estimate a loss or range of loss of this Complaint.

 

On October 5, 2021, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and certain of its officers, captioned McLaughlin v. Nano-X Imaging Ltd. et al, Case No. 1:21-cv-05517. On January 25, 2022, Magistrate Judge Peggy Kuo appointed Davian Holdings Limited as Lead Plaintiff in the McLaughlin v. Nano-X Imaging Ltd. et al, Case No. 1:21-cv-05517. On April 12, 2022 and in the same case, the Lead Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which alleges that defendants violated the federal securities laws in connection with certain disclosures concerning the cost of the Nanox.ARC system as well as the comparison of the Nanox.ARC to CT scanners. Lead Plaintiff seeks to represent a class of investors who purchased the Company’s publicly-traded securities between August 21, 2020 and November 17, 2021. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint, and briefing on that motion was completed on September 9, 2022, and it remains outstanding. The Company has not accrued any losses other than legal fees with connection with this lawsuit. The Company’s position is that the lawsuit has no merit and it intends to defend its position vigorously. As of date, the Company is unable to estimate a loss or range of loss of this Complaint.

 

As previously disclosed, the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) notified the Company that it is conducting an investigation to determine whether there had been any violations of the federal securities laws. The Company has been providing documents and information to the SEC and has received a subpoena from the SEC requesting that the Company provide documents and other information relating to the development cost of the Company’s Nanox.ARC prototypes, as well as the Company’s estimate for the cost of assembling the final Nanox.ARC product at scale, among other things. As previously noted, the Company is cooperating with the SEC in responding to its requests. As previously noted, the duration and outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at this time and the Company is unable to estimate a loss or range of loss of this Investigation.
