Subscription Agreement

On November 12, 2024, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Investors, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investors 130,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. The Offering was subject to customary representations and warranties and closing conditions and took place on November 12, 2024.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, within 40 days of signing the Subscription Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement providing for the resale by the Investors of the Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock and use reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable following notification by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that such registration statement will not be reviewed or is not subject to further review. The Company has further agreed to take all steps necessary to keep such registration statement effective at all times until there remain no Registrable Shares (as defined in the Subscription Agreement).

The Investors cannot transfer shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock, except (1) to affiliates, (2) consisting of pro rata distributions to an Investor’s limited partners or other holders of the Investor’s equity securities, (3) in connection with any pledge, encumbrance or hypothecation in connection with any financing arrangements by an investor secured by the Convertible Preferred Stock, (4) pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation or recapitalization of or involving the Company or (5) after commencement of bankruptcy or other voluntary or involuntary insolvency proceedings or restructuring by or against the Company, subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

Certificate of Designations

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, on November 12, 2024, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware designating 130,000 shares of its authorized and unissued preferred stock as Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share. The Certificate of Designation sets forth the rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

The following is a summary of the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock:

The Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to the shares of the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Convertible Preferred Stock will initially have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share; provided that the liquidation preference upon a change of control on or before November 12, 2026, will be increased to be no less than $1,500 per share. Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock Holders”) will be entitled to a regular dividend, at the rate of 8.0% per annum, compounding and payable quarterly in kind or in cash, at the Company’s election. Any accrued but unpaid dividends will become part of the liquidation preference of such share, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation. In addition, no dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock will be declared or paid on the Common Stock unless, at the time of such declaration and payment, an equivalent dividend or distribution is declared and paid on the Convertible Preferred Stock.

Conversion Rights and Mandatory Conversion

Subject to the terms and limitations contained in the Certificate of Designation, the Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time at the option of the Preferred Stock Holders. However, until the Company receives the Requisite Stockholder Approval, as contemplated by Nasdaq listing rules, with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock in excess of the limitations imposed by such rules, the Preferred Stock Holders cannot convert the Convertible Preferred Stock into a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 26,502,042 shares. If, prior to receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, a Preferred Stock Holder elects to convert any Convertible Preferred Stock that would result in the issuance, when aggregated with the number of shares previously issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, of more than 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at the time of signing the Subscription Agreement, then the Company will, in lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock, pay the Preferred Stock Holder a cash amount equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock that could not be issued due to such limitation and the 10-day trailing volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as of the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date (the “Cash-in-Lieu Payments”), which Cash-in-Lieu Payments shall be paid no later than November 5, 2026, together with accrued interest of 10% per annum, to the extent an earlier cash payment is prohibited pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement, dated August 6, 2021, among the Company, as borrower, Organogenesis Inc. and Prime Merger Sub, LLC, as guarantors, and Silicon Valley Bank, as administrative agent, lead arranger, bookrunner, issuing lender and swingline lender, and Silicon Valley Bank and the several other lenders from time to time party thereto, as amended.

At any time after November 12, 2026, if the closing sale price per share of Common Stock exceeds 200% of the conversion price for at least 20 of 30 consecutive trading days, then the Company has the right to mandatorily convert the Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain restrictions based on the liquidity of the Common Stock. The initial conversion rate is 263.7358 shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of each $1,000 of liquidation preference (the “Conversion Rate”). The implied conversion price is initially $3.7917 per share, which is a 20.0% premium to the 10-day trailing volume weighted average price of Common Stock as of the full trading day prior to the execution of the Subscription Agreement. The Conversion Rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar events. The Conversion Rate is also subject to adjustment for certain dilutive offerings at an effective price that is less than the conversion price then in effect.

Voting and Consent Rights

Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock generally will be entitled to vote with the holders of the shares of Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of shares of Common Stock (voting together with the holders of shares of Common Stock as one class) on an as-converted basis, subject to the Share Cap and Ownership Limitation. Additionally, certain matters will require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, including (1) any amendment, modification, repeal or waiver of any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, bylaws or of the Certificate of Designation that would amend, modify or otherwise fail to give effect to the rights of the Preferred Stock Holders pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, (2) any increase or decrease in the number of authorized shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, except as permitted in the Certificate of Designation, (3) the creation of any new class or series of equity securities (including any additional class or series of preferred stock or any debt that is convertible into equity securities of the company or equity-linked securities) that would be senior or pari passu to the Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of liquidation preference or dividend rights or that would provide any unique governance rights to holders of such securities that are not existing rights of the holders of Common Stock as of the date hereof, (4) the declaration or payment of any dividend to holders of Common Stock, (5) any increase to the size of the Issuer Board above 12 directors prior to the Company’s 2025 annual meeting and 11 directors after such meeting, (6) incurrence by the Company and its Subsidiaries of aggregate indebtedness in one or a series of transactions that would result in a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) in excess of 3.5 to 1 or (7) the entry into, or amendment or waiver of, any agreement by the Company or its Subsidiaries that would prevent or delay the Company from complying, or impair the ability of the Company to comply, with its obligations to make the Cash-in-Lieu Payments.

Investor Optional Redemption Rights

At any time after November 12, 2031, each Preferred Stock Holder has the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Preferred Stock for the then applicable liquidation preference, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

Director Designation and Board Observer Rights

Subject to customary conditions, at all times when the Investors hold outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into shares of Common Stock representing at least 5.0% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company shall appoint a director designated by a majority of the Investors, voting together as a separate class, which will also serve on each committee of the Board for which such director is qualified under applicable law and Nasdaq rules and regulations. Additionally at all times the Investors hold any outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Investors have a right to appoint one Board observer. At the Investors’ option, following conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Investors will have the same director and Board observer election rights for so long as the Investors hold shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion representing at least 5.0% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Preemptive Rights

The Investors have customary preemptive rights to participate in future equity issuances by the Company to the extent necessary to maintain their as-converted pro rata ownership percentages of the Company, subject to customary exceptions.

The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Certificate of Designations do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, copies of which are included as exhibits to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
