Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

1. INCORPORATION AND GOING CONCERN

(a) Business description

Neovasc Inc. ("Neovasc" or the "Company") is a company incorporated and domiciled in Canada.  The Company was incorporated as Medical Ventures Corp. under the Company Act (British Columbia) on November 2, 2000, and was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on April 19, 2002.  On July 1, 2008, the Company changed its name to Neovasc Inc. Neovasc is the parent company.

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as at June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  The Company's principal place of business is located at 2135 - 13700 Mayfield Place, Richmond, British Columbia, V6V 2E4 and the Company's registered office is located at Suite 2600 - 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1L3, Canada.  The Company's shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: NVCN) and the Nasdaq Capital Market (NASDAQ: NVCN).

Neovasc is a specialty medical device company that develops and markets products for the rapidly growing cardiovascular marketplace.  Its products include the Neovasc ReducerTM (the "Reducer"), for the treatment of refractory angina, which is not currently commercially available in the United States and has been commercially available in Europe since 2015, and the TiaraTM ("Tiara"), for the transcatheter treatment of mitral valve disease, which is currently under clinical investigation in the United States, Canada, Israel and Europe.

(b) Going concern and uncertainty

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $37.6 million in cash and cash equivalents being sufficient cash on hand to extend the operations of the Company until mid-2024 at the current anticipated burn rate.  However, given the FDA's decision to approve the Investigational Device Exemption ("IDE") for the COSIRA-II clinical study, it is possible that the Company will initiate programs that will require additional significant expenditures and that the increasing cash needs of the Company could shorten the time the proceeds will meet the requirements of the Company.  In addition, COVID-19 has impacted the Company's ability to generate revenue, enroll patients in clinical studies, complete certain Tiara TA bench testing milestones on its expected schedule, and raise capital. The Company can give no assurance that it will be able to obtain the additional funds needed in the future, on terms agreeable to the Company, or at all.  These circumstances indicate the existence of material uncertainty and cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company will re-evaluate the going concern risk at each reporting period and will consider removing the going concern and uncertainty note if, and when, the Company can depend on the profitable commercialization of its products or is confident of obtaining additional debt, equity or other financing to fund ongoing operations until profitability is achieved.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumptions were not appropriate.  Should the Company be unable to obtain additional capital in the future and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern be impaired, material adjustments may be necessary to these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

(c) Corporate reorganization

On June 20, 2021, the Company announced that it had indefinitely paused all product development activities on the Tiara TF device.  Concurrent with this decision the Company terminated 40% of its staff and took a provision for obsolete leasehold improvements and equipment related to these activities.

(d) Share consolidation (reverse stock split)

On April 29, 2022, the Company effected a share consolidation (reverse stock split) of its issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for every 25 pre-consolidation Common Shares. All references in these consolidated financial statements to Common Shares and options have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the share consolidation.

(f) Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business is difficult to predict, as the response to the pandemic evolves on a country-by-country basis.  Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a local and/or global adverse economic events.  Such economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company's customers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.  As at June 30, 2022, the Company has seen a marked impact on Reducer revenues due to restrictions on elective procedures which included Reducer implants.  Furthermore, the Company's recruitment to clinical trials and studies continues to be on temporary hold, or are enrolling slower than expected, due to the pandemic restrictions and the Company's ability to complete certain Tiara TA bench testing milestones on our expected schedule has been impacted and could be impacted further in the future if COVID restrictions increase again.

The Company's future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by a decrease in Reducer sales, delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions and uncertain demand, and the impact of any initiatives or programs that the Company may undertake to address financial and operational challenges faced by its customers.  As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may further materially impact the Company's financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations is uncertain.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) Fair value estimation

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify fair value measurements based upon the observability of significant inputs used in the valuation techniques.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)

Level 3 | Inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)

The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.  As required by IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Presentation of the fair values of the 2020 Convertible notes, warrants and derivative warrant liabilities and 2021 Derivative warrant liabilities are gross of the deferred loss. The deferred loss on the 2020 convertible notes, warrants and derivative warrant liabilities as at June 30, 2022 is $1,795,604 (December 31, 2021: $4,300,484). The deferred loss on the 2021 Derivative warrant liabilities as at June 30, 2022 is $8,261,167 (December 31, 2021: $9,898,475).

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(a) Fair value estimation (continued)

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered a reasonable approximation of fair value due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of the 2022 convertible notes as at June 30, 2022 is $11,135,143.

(b) Foreign exchange risk

A portion of the Company's revenues are derived from product sales in Europe, denominated in Euros.  Management has considered the stability of the foreign currency and the impact a change in the exchange rate may have on future earnings during the forecasting process.  The Euro represents approximately 41% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, (six months ended June 30, 2021: 47%).  A 10% change in the foreign exchange rates for the Euro for foreign currency-denominated accounts receivable will impact net income as at June 30, 2022 by approximately $23,944 (as at June 30, 2021: $12,259), and a similar change in foreign currency-denominated accounts payable, which are denominated in Canadian dollars and Euros will impact net income by approximately $9,589 and $24,585 respectively, as at June 30, 2022 (as at June 30, 2021: $6,730 and $34,695, respectively. A similar change in foreign currency-denominated cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, which are denominated in Canadian dollars and Euros will impact net income by approximately $150,154 and $24,005, respectively, as at June 30, 2022 (as at June 30, 2021:  $101,270 and $74,787, respectively). The Company does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.

(c) Interest rate risk

The Company is not exposed to material cash flow interest rate risk on fixed-rate cash balances and short-term accounts receivable, accounts payable and 2019, 2020 and 2022 Convertible Notes that have fixed interest terms.

(d) Liquidity risk

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had $37,631,734 in cash and cash equivalents as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $51,537,367 as at December 31, 2021. The Company monitors its cash flow on a monthly basis and compares actual performance to the budget for the period. The Company may obtain additional debt or equity financing in future periods.  Further into the future the Company is dependent on the profitable commercialization of its products or obtaining additional debt or equity financing to fund ongoing operations until profitability is achieved.

On February 12, 2021, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $72 million from the February 2021 Financing (see Note 17). The proceeds from the February 2021 Financing could be sufficient to extend the operations of the Company until mid-2024 at the current anticipated burn rate. However, it is possible that the Company will initiate programs that were on hold given past cash constraints and that the cash needs of the Company will increase, shortening the time the proceeds will meet the requirements of the Company.

Trade payables were aged as follows as at June 30, 2022 and do not include accrued liabilities.  All trade payables are current liabilities:

    Total  
Current $ 1,410,588  
31-60 days   56,584  
Over 60 days   21,427  
  $ 1,488,599  

(e) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the entities to which the Company sells products may experience financial difficulty and be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations.  This risk is mitigated by proactive credit management policies that include regular monitoring of the debtor's payment history and performance.  The Company does not require collateral from its customers as security for trade accounts receivable but may require certain customers to pay in advance of any work being performed or product being shipped.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(e) Credit risk (continued)

The maximum exposure, if all the Company's customers were to default at the same time is the full carrying value of the trade accounts receivable as at June 30, 2022 is $975,983 (as at December 31, 2021: $720,332). As at June 30, 2022, the Company had $445,855 (as at December 31, 2021: $153,673) of trade accounts receivable that were overdue according to the customers' credit terms. All of the Company's trade and other receivables have been reviewed for impairment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company wrote down $nil of accounts receivable owed by customers (three and six months ended June 30, 2021: $nil).

The Company may also have credit risk related to its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, with a maximum exposure of $38,098,111 as at June 30, 2022 (as at December 31, 2021: $52,007,175).  The Company minimizes its risk to cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash by maintaining the majority of its balances with Canadian Chartered Banks.

16. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITY FROM FINANCING AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES

(a) 2019 Convertible Notes

On May 16, 2019, the Company completed a private placement of (i) 15% original issue discount convertible notes ("2019 Notes") with a face value of $11.5 million, for gross proceeds to the Company of $9,775,000, and (ii) 13,398 Common Shares of the Company at a price of $128.75 per Common Share, for gross proceeds to the Company of $1,725,000.

The 2019 Notes have the following key terms:

  • For the first year after the closing date, interest at a rate of 8% of which 5% is payable in cash on or about May 17, 2020 (when the existing 2017 Notes issued by the Company mature). The remainder is deferred and will be due on maturity of the 2019 Notes.
  • After the first year and until maturity, interest at a rate of 10% of which 7% is payable in cash at the end of May and November each year. The remainder is deferred and will be due on maturity of the 2019 Notes.
  • The 2019 Notes were issued at an original discount of $1.725 million. A separate subscription for Common Shares of the Company by the holder of the 2019 Notes was made for this amount (at market price) concurrent with the issuance of the 2019 Notes.
  • The Company has a prepayment option whereby it may voluntarily prepay the 2019 Notes prior to maturity. Prepayment penalties of 3% (if prepaid prior to the 1st anniversary of issuance), 2% (if prepaid between the 1st and 2nd anniversaries of issuance) and 1% (if prepaid after the 2nd anniversary) apply.
  • The 2019 Notes are convertible into Common Shares of the Company at the option of the holder (however, the holder may not own > 19.99% of the total outstanding Common Shares of the Company as a result of the conversion). The conversion price fluctuates from $187.50 per common share (prior to the 2nd anniversary of issuance) to $212.50  between the 2nd and 3rd anniversaries of issuance to $242.50 after the 3rd anniversary of issuance. The conversion price would also be altered subject to certain anti-dilution provisions.

The 2019 Notes contain two embedded derivatives: the conversion option and the prepayment option. The Company has elected to measure the 2019 Notes at FVTPL. The fair values of the 2019 Notes were calculated using the Cox Ross Rubinstein binomial tree model and have been classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

On March 23, 2022, the 2019 Notes were extinguished as the Company issued restated senior secured convertible notes ("2022 Notes") with a principal amount of $13 million to consolidate the 2019 Notes and 2020 senior secured convertible notes ("2020 Notes") (see Note 16(c)).

(b) 2020 Convertible Notes

On May 28, 2020, the Company issued 2020 Notes with a principal amount of $5 million, convertible at $70.38 per Common Share for 71,042 Common Shares and 102,958 Warrants ("May 2020 Warrants") exercisable at $65.85 per 2020 Warrant with a 4-year term.

The 2020 Notes have the following key terms:

  • The 2020 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 8% computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in additional 2020 Notes on the date that is six-months after issuance and on each six-month period thereafter up to, and including, the maturity date.
  • The 2020 Notes will have a maturity date of 48 months after issuance with the holder's option for early redemption at 24 months.
  • Change of control redemption option with option premia of 125% in the first year, 115% in the second year, 105% in the third year, and 100% thereafter.
  • The 2020 Notes are convertible into Common Shares of the Company at the option of the holder (however, the holder may not own greater than 9.99% of the total outstanding Common Shares of the Company as a result of the conversion).
  • The conversion option caused the number of shares to be issued upon exercise to be variable, and therefore do not meet the fixed of fixed test under IAS 32- Financial instruments - presentation.

The 2020 Notes contain three embedded derivatives: change in control redemption option, the early redemption option and the conversion option, but will not be separated from the host debt instrument and the entire hybrid contract will be designated as at fair value through profit or loss. The fair values of the 2020 Notes and 2020 Warrants were calculated using the Cox Ross Rubinstein binomial tree model and have been classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the convertible debt was $6,449,634 which exceeded the transaction price giving rise to a loss of $3,511,670. Since the fair value of the convertible debt is not determined using a valuation that only uses data from observable markets, the loss on initial recognition has been deferred and will be recognized in income over the expected term of the instrument.

16. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITY FROM FINANCING AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES (continued)

(b) 2020 Convertible Notes (continued)

On March 23, 2022, the 2020 Notes were extinguished as the Company issued 2022 Notes with a principal amount of $13 million to consolidate the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes (see Note 16(c)).

(c) 2022 Convertible Notes

On March 23, 2022 the Company issued 2022 Notes with a principal amount of $13 million to consolidate the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes.

The 2022 Notes have the following key terms:

  • The 2022 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly, of which 4% is paid semi-annually, and 5% is added to the principal.
  • The 2022 Notes will have a maturity date of December 31, 2025.
  • The 2022 convertible note is convertible into common shares at a price of $25.00 per common share (however, the holder may not own greater than 9.99% of the total outstanding Common Shares of the Company as a result of the conversion).
  • The conversion option caused the number of shares to be issued upon exercise to be fixed, and therefore meets the fixed for fixed test under IAS 32- Financial instruments - presentation.
  • The Company can prepay any portion of the principal amount (and any related interest accrued on the principal being prepaid) at any time prior to the maturity date, provided that they pay the following penalties:

- 3% of the principal if the prepayment is made within one year of the closing of the 2022 convertible note

- 2% of the principal if the prepayment is made between the first and second years from the closing of the 2022 convertible note; and

- 1% of the principal if the prepayment is made after the second year from the closing of the 2022 convertible note

  • Upon prepayment, the Company will issue common share purchase warrants. The number of warrants issued is equal to the amount of the prepayment divided by the conversion price. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share and will have an exercise price equal to the conversion price and expire on the maturity date.
  • Upon a change in control event, the Company may be required to prepay the outstanding principal and interest.

The Company elected to measure the 2022 Notes initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost. The 2022 Notes contain two embedded derivatives: the change in control prepayment option and the prepayment option. The change in control prepayment option is not accounted for as a separate embedded derivative. The prepayment option is accounted for as a separate embedded derivative and is measured initially and subsequently at fair value through profit and loss.

The estimated fair value of the 2022 Notes on March 23, 2022 is $12,519,876. The estimated fair value relating to the equity conversion option, recognized in equity, is $974,136. The remaining balance of $11,545,740 has been recognized as liability.

The fair values of 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2022 Notes on March 23, 2022 were calculated based on the level 3 fair value estimate of the notes based on a binomial tree model.

Key assumptions used in the model at March 23, 2022 are summarized below:

Valuation Date   2019 Notes     2020 Notes     2022 Notes  
Price of Common Shares $ 0.41   $ 0.41   $ 0.41  
Dividend Yield   0%     0%     0%  
Historical volatility of Common Shares   77.54%     89.25%     95.21%

Risk-free rate   1.90%     2.34%     2.39%  
Credit spread   10.41%     7.97%     9.36%  

The recognition of the 2022 Notes and extinguishment of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes resulted in a realized loss of $1,881,651.

17. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)

(b) Stock options

The Company adopted an equity-settled stock option plan under which the directors of the Company may grant options to purchase Common Shares to directors, officers, employees and service providers (the "optionees") of the Company on terms that the directors of the Company may determine within the limitations set forth in the stock option plan.  Effective June 4, 2018, at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), the board of directors and shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's incentive stock option plan to increase the number of options available for grant under the plan to 15% of the number of Common Shares of the Company outstanding at any time.

Options under the Company's stock option plan granted to directors, officers and employees vest immediately on the grant date, unless a vesting schedule is specified by the board.  The directors of the Company have discretion within the limitations set forth in the stock option plan to determine other vesting terms on options granted to directors, officers, employees, and others.  The minimum exercise price of a stock option cannot be less than the applicable market price of the Common Shares on the date of the grant, and the options have a maximum life of ten years from the date of grant.  The following table summarizes stock option activity for the respective years as follows:

(b) Stock Options (continued)

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an expense of $419,563 and $ 929,920 for share-based compensation awarded to eligible optionees (expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021: $415,984 and $1,642,226).  The Company used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of the options at each measurement date using the following weighted average assumptions:

(c) Restricted share units

On December 2, 2019, the Company adopted a Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") Plan which provides for RSUs to be awarded to directors, officers, employees and service providers.  The maximum number of Common Shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the RSU Plan is equal to 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company.  The shareholders of the Company approved the amended RSU Plan at the annual meeting of the shareholders on September 3, 2020, which falls within 12 months of the effective date of the RSU Plan.

The granting of RSUs is considered an equity-settled share-based payment transaction.  The fair value of the grant was determined by multiplying the Company's share price at the grant date by the number of RSUs granted and is recognized over the vesting period of the grant.  The expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was $354,477 and $789,838 (three and six months ended June 30, 2021: $433,098 and $1,426,849).  As of June 30, 2022, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs amounted to approximately $1,339,845 which will be amortized over the remaining vesting periods.

RSU transactions are summarized as follows:

(d) Share appreciation rights

On September 22, 2020, the Company adopted a Share Appreciation Rights ("SAR") Plan which provides for SARs to be awarded to directors, officers, employees and service providers.  The granting of SARs is considered a cash-settled payment transaction. The fair value of the SAR is measured applying a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the SARs are granted. As the exercise price of SARs is $0.00, the fair value equals the outstanding units multiplied by the share price at the reporting date.  The liability of the SAR is measured initially at grant date and at the end of each reporting period until settled. The fair value of the SAR as of June 30, 2022, is $1,967,070 which will be recorded over the vesting period of the SAR.  The Company recognized an expense recovery of $174,565 and $61,428, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the decrease in fair value of the SARs (expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021: $1,198,036 and $1,382,000).

SAR transactions are summarized as follows:

    Number of
SARs

23. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS

Litigation

Litigation resulting from third party claims has been, and may be, costly and time-consuming and could divert the attention of management and key personnel from our business operations.  Although we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against any pending claims, and future claims that may occur, we cannot assure that we will succeed in appealing and defending any of these claims and that judgments will not be upheld against us.  If we are unsuccessful in our appeal and defense of these claims or unable to settle the claims in a manner satisfactory to us, we may be faced with significant loss of intellectual property rights that could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition.

Claims by CardiAQ in Germany

On June 23, 2014, Edwards Lifesciences CardiAQ LLC ("CardiAQ") filed a complaint against Neovasc in Munich, Germany (the "German Court") requesting that Neovasc assign its right to one of its European patent applications to CardiAQ.  After a hearing held on December 14, 2016, the German Court rendered its decision on June 16, 2017, granting co-ownership of the European patent application to CardiAQ but denying their claim for full entitlement.  On July 14, 2017, Neovasc filed a notice of appeal against the German Court's decision with the Appeals Court of Munich (the "German Appeals Court").  On July 20, 2017, CardiAQ filed a notice of appeal with the same court.  The decision of the German Appeals Court of was rendered on March 21, 2019, wherein it amended the decision of the German Court and dismissed the complaint of CardiAQ in full.  On March 30, 2020, the German Supreme Court granted CardiAQ leave to appeal the German Appeals Court decision and at a hearing held on August 4, 2020 the German Supreme Court set aside the prior decision of the German Appeals Court and remanded the matter back to the German Appeals Court for a new hearing and decision.  The hearing at the German Appeals Court was held on February 25, 2021.

On May 20, 2021, the German Appeals Court has upheld the first instance judgment of the German Court of June 16, 2017, in which the court had found that CardiAQ had contributed in part to the invention of the Tiara and awarded to CardiAQ co-entitlement rights to the disputed Tiara European patent application.  There are no monetary awards associated with these matters (except for a decision on the statutory costs of the proceedings) and no damages award was recognized.  Regarding the statutory costs of the proceedings, each party bears 50% of the costs of the appeal proceedings before the German Appeals Court.  Neovasc bears the costs of the 2nd appeal proceedings before the German Supreme Court and 50% of the court fees of the first instance proceedings.  Neovasc has not appealed this decision to preserve capital and move forward with our new strategic activities.  The decision is now final.

Other Matters

On August 3, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement with Penn Medicine and the Gorman Cardiovascular Research Group at the University of Pennsylvania (collectively, "UPenn"), which resolved certain potential claims against the Company that had been previously disclosed.  The collaboration and licensing agreement with UPenn contemplates certain fees being paid by Neovasc to UPenn, including fees in installments totaling $2.65 million over the three years following the agreement's execution.  In addition, Neovasc agreed to pay UPenn a royalty of 1.0-1.5% on the annual net sales of the Tiara following the first commercial sale of the Tiara.  Also contained in the collaboration and licensing agreement are buy-out clauses that allow Neovasc, or an acquirer of Neovasc or the Tiara assets, to buy out these royalty obligations.  As part of the collaboration and licensing agreement, certain potential claims against the Neovasc Defendants were resolved.

On September 7, 2018, Endovalve Inc. and Micro Interventional Devices, Inc. (collectively, "Endovalve") filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Neovasc Defendants, alleging claims for trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract, and unfair competition.  Endovalve alleged that it was a former customer of Neovasc Inc., and that the Neovasc Defendants improperly used trade secrets in the development of Tiara.  The complaint sought injunctive relief, money damages, and attorneys' fees.  On February 20, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a settlement agreement with Endovalve.  The settlement agreement with Endovalve contemplates certain fees being paid by Neovasc to Endovalve, including settlement fees in installments totaling $3 million over the two and a half years following the agreement's execution.  In addition, Neovasc agreed to pay Endovalve a royalty of 1.3% on the annual net sales of the Tiara following the first commercial sale of the Tiara.  Also contained in the settlement agreement are buy-out clauses that allow Neovasc, or an acquirer of Neovasc or the Tiara assets, to buy out these royalty obligations.  As part of the settlement agreement, the claims against the Neovasc defendants were dismissed with prejudice.

23. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS (continued)

Other Matters (continued)

When the Company assesses that it is more likely that a present obligation exists at the end of the reporting period and that the possibility of an outflow of economic resources embodying economic benefits is probable, a provision is recognized and contingent liability disclosure is required.  The Company has not accrued for any future royalty payments in the settlement agreement with UPenn or Endovalve as the amounts are undeterminable at this time.

Shareholder Litigation

On November 5, 2020, a putative shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Neovasc, Fred Colen, Neovasc's CEO, and Christopher Clark, Neovasc's CFO: Gonzalez v. Neovasc Inc., et al., Case No. 7:20-cv-09313 (S.D.N.Y.) (the "Gonzalez Action").  The complaint in the Gonzalez Action purported to bring suit on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Neovasc securities between November 1, 2019 and October 27, 2020, inclusive.  On November 25, 2020, a second putative shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Neovasc and Messrs. Colen and Clark: Siple v. Neovasc Inc., et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-09948 (S.D.N.Y.) (the "Siple Action").  The complaint in the Siple Action purported to bring suit on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Neovasc securities between October 10, 2018 and October 27, 2020, inclusive.

The complaints in both the Gonzalez Action and the Siple Action contained similar allegations that the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about Neovasc's business, operations, and prospects.  Specifically, the complaints' allegations relate to the premarket approval process with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Neovasc's Reducer medical device for the treatment of refractory angina.  Both complaints asserted the same two causes of action: (i) a violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against all defendants; and (ii) a violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against Messrs. Colen and Clark.

On January 26, 2021, the court issued an order consolidating the Gonzalez Action and the Siple Action under a new case style: In re Neovasc Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 7:20-cv-09313 (S.D.N.Y.) (the "Consolidated Action").  The order also appointed Pratap Golla as the lead plaintiff ("Lead Plaintiff") and the law firms of Pomerantz LLP and Holzer & Holzer LLC as Co-Lead Counsel for the class in the Consolidated Action.  The order further directed Lead Plaintiff to file a Consolidated Amended Complaint in the Consolidated Action.  On March 19, 2021, Lead Plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint.

The Consolidated Amended Complaint named Neovasc, Messrs. Colen and Clark, Bill Little, Neovasc's COO, and Shmuel Banai, Neovasc's Medical Director, as defendants (the "Defendants").  The Consolidated Amended Complaint purported to bring suit on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Neovasc securities between October 10, 2018 and January 15, 2021, inclusive.  The Consolidated Amended Complaint contained allegations similar to the complaints in the Gonzalez Action and the Siple Action and asserted the same two causes of action: (i) a violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against all defendants; and (ii) a violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against Messrs. Colen, Clark, Little, and Banai.

Defendants' motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint was served on June 14, 2021. On February 1, 2022, after the conclusion of oral argument on Defendants' motion to dismiss, the Consolidated Amended Complaint was dismissed in its entirety with prejudice and without leave to amend. On February 22, 2022, the Lead Plaintiff filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the "Court of Appeals").  On May 13, 2022, The Lead Plaintiff filed their initial appellate brief. On August 10, 2022, the Defendants filed their response appellate brief..
