LENSAR Inc

From time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including intellectual property, commercial, product liability, employment, class action, whistleblower and other litigation and claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings.

On August 14, 2023, stockholders Ryan Schaper and Christopher P. Bolster filed a Verified Amended Class Action Complaint (“Amended Complaint”) against the Company and certain of its officers and members of the board of directors (“Defendants”) in the matter captioned Schaper v. LENSAR, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-00692-GBW (D. Del.). Plaintiffs allege that Defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as Rule 14d-9 promulgated thereunder, and assert claims challenging the adequacy of disclosures in the definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on June 20, 2023, or the Proxy, in connection with the Private Placement. On August 18, 2023, the parties filed a joint stipulation extending Defendants’ time to respond to the complaint. On December 12, 2023, the Court appointed Ryan Schaper and Christopher P. Bolster as Lead Plaintiffs. On December 22, 2023, the parties filed a joint stipulation providing that Lead Plaintiffs will file a second amended complaint or designate the Amended Complaint as operative on or before January 12, 2024. On January 12, 2024, Lead Plaintiffs filed a Verified Second Amended Class Action Complaint (“Second Amended Complaint”). The Second Amended Complaint alleges that the Proxy failed to disclose details about North Run, discussion with stockholders regarding possible financing alternatives, LENSAR’s internal budget, the basis for the Board’s recommendation on the vote, potential costs to LENSAR if shareholders voted against the proposal, and purported conflicts of interest. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on February 26, 2024. The parties will complete briefing on the motion to dismiss in May 2024.

The Company vigorously denies that the Proxy was deficient in any respect or that supplemental disclosures were required or necessary under applicable laws. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome, or provide a reasonable estimate or range of estimates of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in this matter.

This matter may be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability or require us to change our business practices, even if we believe the claims asserted against us are without merit. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that the results of any such actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
