Boston University

Edward Damiano, Ph.D., the former Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of the Company, was affiliated with Boston University (“BU”) during the execution and amendments of key agreements and currently serves as a volunteer research professor. Under the agreements, BU and Dr. Damiano are entitled to a specified percentage of royalties from net sales of licensed products.

In December 2015, the Company executed hardware and software license agreements with the Trustees of BU under which the Company received exclusive, non-transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-bearing licenses to certain patent rights and copyrights.

The Company incurred $1.3 million and $0.9 million of royalties expense under the Control Algorithm Agreement during each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, which was included as a component of cost of sales in the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Under the agreements, the Company is responsible for all costs related to the amendment, prosecution and maintenance of the licensed patent rights. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not owe BU any amounts and paid an immaterial amount to BU for legal costs in connection with the agreements.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, were due to BU from the Company. As of January 30, 2025, Edward Damiano no longer held board or management positions and no longer has the ability to significantly influence the Company. Therefore, Edward Damiano and BU are not considered a related party under ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” as of June 30, 2025.
