Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation

Overview and Organization

LENSAR, Inc. (“LENSAR” or the “Company”) is a global medical device business focused on the design, development and commercialization of advanced technology for the treatment of cataracts and management of astigmatism to achieve improved visual outcomes for patients. The Company is a public company whose stock is listed and trading under the symbol “LNSR” on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The Company’s revenue is derived from the sale and lease of the Company’s LENSAR Laser System (“LLS”) and ALLY Robotic Cataract Laser System™ (“ALLY System”) (collectively the “Systems”), which may include equipment, a consumable referred to as the Patient Interface Device (“PID”), procedure licenses, training, installation, limited warranty and maintenance agreements through extended warranty. The Company has developed its ALLY System as a compact, highly ergonomic system utilizing an extremely fast dual-modality laser and integrating artificial intelligence (“AI”) into proprietary imaging and software. The ALLY System is designed to transform premium cataract surgery by utilizing LENSAR’s advanced robotic technologies with the ability to perform the entire procedure in a sterile operating room or in-office surgical suite, delivering operational efficiencies and reducing overhead. The ALLY System is available to U.S. and European Union cataract surgeons and has also received regulatory clearance in India, Taiwan, South Korea, and certain other countries. In addition, the Company is pursuing an additional marketing or certification application through its distributor in China.

On March 23, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with Alcon Research, LLC (“Alcon”) and VMI Option Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcon. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain customary exceptions specified in the Merger Agreement) will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive (i) $14.00 in cash, without interest, and subject to applicable taxes, plus (ii) one contingent value right per share, representing the right to receive one contingent payment of $2.75 in cash, without interest, upon achievement of 614,000 cumulative procedures with the Company’s products between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2027. The Merger Agreement contains customary covenants and agreements, including with respect to the operations of the business of the Company between signing and closing. The Merger is expected to close in mid-to-late 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders and regulatory approvals. The Merger Agreement includes customary termination rights for the Company and Alcon. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, the Company will be required to pay Alcon a termination fee of $8,500.

The Company received a$10,000 cash deposit towards the aggregate cash consideration, which is classified as a current liability on the condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2025. The deposit is considered the property of Alcon in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. In connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including if Alcon breaches its obligations such that the Company is entitled to terminate the Merger Agreement or the Merger has not been successfully completed by April 23, 2026, subject to an extension under certain circumstances solely at the election of Alcon to July 23, 2026, a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final non-appealable governmental order prohibiting the Merger, and, at the time of such termination, the only remaining conditions to closing relate to certain regulatory approvals, the Company will be permitted to keep the deposit. If the Merger Agreement is terminated for any other reason, the Company shall refund the deposit to Alcon.

Other than the foregoing-described deposit and acquisition-related costs as described under “Acquisition-Related Costs” in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the terms of the Merger Agreement did not impact the Company’s condensed financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The Company has incurred recurring losses and operating cash outflows since its inception and, as of March 31, 2025, had an accumulated deficit of$170,640. The Company expects to continue to incur losses and cash outflows from operating activities for the near-term future. Pricing increases in component parts for the ALLY System resulting from inflationary pressures and related macroeconomic conditions may necessitate an increase in overall cost to customers, which in turn may have an adverse impact on customer demand.

Management believes the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and investments on hand, together with cash generated from the future sale and lease of products, will provide sufficient funds for its operating, investing, and financing cash flows for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company expects annual revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses to increase from current levels associated with the increase in ALLY System placements. The U.S. government has recently implemented significant changes in U.S. trade policy and taken certain actions that may impact the Company’s business, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States. Some of these changes have triggered retaliatory actions by affected countries that could negatively impact demand for the Company’s products in these regions, as well as negatively impact the Company’s gross profit margin. In addition, the Company’s growth depends in part on the Company’s ability to produce the ALLY System in sufficient quantities, within requested timelines and at an acceptable price to satisfy customer demand. The Company’s liquidity needs will be largely determined by the Company’s ability to continue to successfully commercialize its products and the progression, additional regulatory clearances or certifications and launch of the ALLY System in additional jurisdictions in the future. In the future, the Company may need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings, borrowings under credit facilities or from other sources in the future. The Company may issue securities, including common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and/or debt securities through private placement transactions or registered public offerings in the future. The Company’s ability to raise additional funds will depend, among other factors, on financial, economic and market conditions, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, and the Company may be unable to raise financing when needed, or on terms favorable to the Company. If the necessary funds are not available from these sources, the Company may have to delay, reduce or suspend the scope of its sales and marketing efforts, research and development activities, or other components of its operations.

Basis of Presentation

These condensed financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information and, therefore, omit or condense certain footnotes and other information normally included. The condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management of the Company believes are necessary for a fair statement of the periods presented. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year. The December 31, 2024 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Other than policies noted below, there have been no significant changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the annual audited financial statements included in the Annual Report.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes to the condensed financial statements. The accounting estimates that require management’s most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition and allowance for expected credit losses, the valuation of notes receivable and inventory, the assessment of recoverability of intangible assets and their estimated useful lives, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of warrant liabilities. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis as there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

As of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of any assets or liabilities.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed statements of operations. Warrants issued by the Company that do not meetthe criteria for equity treatment are recorded as liabilities. We do not use financial instruments or derivatives for any trading purposes.

Fair Value Measurement

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are estimates of the amounts that would be received if the Company were to sell an asset or the Company paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date or exit price. The assets and liabilities are categorized and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1—based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2—based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—based on unobservable inputs using management’s best estimate and assumptions when inputs are unavailable.

Fair value measurements are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Acquisition-related costs of$4,225, which consists of advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional or consulting fees related to and incurred in association with the Merger Agreement with Alcon, are expensed as incurred and included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company expects to incur additional acquisition-related costs in 2025 while the merger process is ongoing.

Related Parties

The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

In May 2023, the Company completed the Private Placement (as defined in Note 11, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock) with NR-GRI Partners, LP (“NR-GRI”), an affiliate of North Run Capital, LP (“North Run”). Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement, Thomas B. Ellis and Todd B. Hammer, co-managing partners of North Run, joined the Company’s Board of Directors following the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Refer to Note 9, Warrant Liabilities, and Note 11, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, for more details related to the Private Placement.

In June 2023, the Company entered into an international distribution agreement in India with a company owned by an employee at that time. The Company established the distributor relationship to gain regulatory and operational efficiencies, as well as to establish consistent operations with all other international markets where it conducts business. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company began transitioning transactions with customers in India to the distributor. The Company recognized $290 in product revenue, $301 in cost of product sales, and $119 in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 associated with its Indian operations. There were no amounts due from, or due to, the distributor at March 31, 2024. The related party relationship ended on April 1, 2024.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense/(benefit) from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0 in each period, which resulted from maintaining a full valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax assets.

Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), an aggregate change in stock ownership of one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders owning at least 5% of the Company’s stock that exceeds 50 percentage points (by value) over a rolling three-year period (a “Section 382 ownership change”) may result in a limitation on the amount of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that may be used in future years. The Company completed a Section 382 ownership change analysis through its taxable year ended December 31, 2023 and determined that, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company experienced a Section 382 ownership change in connection with the Private Placement of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Private Placement”), triggering the application of Section 382 of the Code. Refer to Note 11, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, formore details related to the Private Placement. The Company has not completed an analysis to determine whether any subsequent Section 382 ownership changes have occurred and thus whether additional limitations have been triggered under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code since December 31, 2023. The Company computed and applied limitations of tax deductions in the income tax provision computation for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024; however, these limitations do not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires (1) disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, the amendment requires disclosure of certain disaggregated information about income taxes paid, income from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) and income tax expense (benefit). The standard is effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Company does not believe that the adoption of the standard will result in material changes to the financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. ASU 2024-03 should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 to the financial statement disclosures.

Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s notes receivable also approximates fair value based on the associated credit risk.

The Company classifies money market funds, U.S. treasury bills and government securities, and certificates of deposit as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy as the fair value is based on quoted prices. The Company classifies its warrant derivative liabilities as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as the Company estimates the fair value of the warrant liabilities using recently quoted market prices of the Company's common stock and the Black-Scholes option pricing model, refer to Note 9, Warrant Liabilities.

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company's assets and liabilities at fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Certain intangible assets were established upon PDL BioPharma, Inc.’s acquisition of LENSAR in May 2017. They are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 15 years. The intangible assets for customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis or a double declining basis over their estimated useful lives up to 20 years based on the method that better represents the economic benefits to be obtained.

The Company acquired certain intangible assets for customer relationships from a domestic distributor in an asset acquisition, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 10 years.

The Company acquired certain intangible assets from a medical technology company in an asset acquisition, which were being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 15 years.

In 2019, the Company acquired certain intellectual property from a third party. Pursuant to the Company's agreement with the third party, the Company made milestone payments of $2,400 during the year ended December 31, 2022.

In April 2024, the Company notified its third-party supplier of the phacoemulsification component in the ALLY System the Company would no longer pursue integration with the supplier’s phacoemulsification unit. This resulted in a triggering event impacting certain acquired technology intangible assets and contract liabilities associated with the phacoemulsification component. The Company determined that the carrying value of the intangible assets in items 3 and 4 above exceeded the estimated recoverable amount of $0 and recorded an impairment of intangible assets of $3,943. The impairment charge was offset with the write-off of contract liabilities associated with the intangible assets of $214.

Amortization expense for three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was$232 and$274, respectively.

Based on the intangible assets recorded at March 31, 2025, and assuming no subsequent additions to or impairment of the underlying assets, the remaining amortization expense is expected to be as follows:

Note 9. Warrant Liabilities

In May 2023, the Company completed the Private Placement (as defined below), which included the issuance of warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 4,367 shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”). Fifty percent of the Warrants have an exercise price equal to $2.45 per share (the “Series A Warrant”), and 50% of the Warrants have an exercise price equal to $3.0625 per share (the “Series B Warrant”), subject in each instance to adjustments as provided under the terms of the Warrants. Refer to Note 11, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, for more details related to the Private Placement.

Upon the occurrence of certain transactions (“Fundamental Transactions,” as defined below), the Warrants provide that they are redeemable by the holder thereof for a value determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model with inputs calculated as described in the applicable Warrant, which includes a 100% floor on the volatility input to be utilized. The Company has determined that this provision introduces leverage to the holders of the Warrants that could result in a value that would be greater than the settlement amount of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Company’s own equity shares. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 815, the Company classified the fair value of the Warrants as a liability to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statements of operations. Of the $20,000 gross proceeds for the Private Placement, $5,605 was allocated to the Warrants and the remaining $14,395 was allocated to the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant liabilities using recently quoted market prices of the Company's common stock and the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the warrant liabilities was estimated using the following assumptions as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

March 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Risk-free interest rate3.9%4.3%
Expected term (years)3.13.4
Expected volatility61%61%
Dividends0.0%0.0%

Expected term: The expected term for the warrant liabilities was based on the remaining contractual term of the Warrants.

Risk-free interest rate: The risk-free interest rate was based on the rates paid on securities issued by the U.S. Treasury with a term approximating the expected term.

Expected volatility: The expected volatility for the warrant liabilities was based on an index of the historical volatilities of a group of comparable publicly-traded medical device and other peer companies, which the Company believed was representative of the volatility of its common stock.

Expected dividend yield: The Company does not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company used a dividend yield of zero in the assumptions.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligation

The Company is a party to various supply agreements for the manufacture and supply of certain components. The supply agreements commit the Company to a minimum purchase obligation of approximately $9,877 over the next 12 months. The Company expects to meet these requirements.

Employee Retention Credit

In March 2020, the United States enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act provides for an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes paid in 2020 and 2021. As of March 31, 2025, the Company received substantially all of the $1,368 ERC.

Legal Matters

The medical device market in which the Company participates is largely technology driven. As a result, intellectual property rights, particularly patents and trade secrets, play a significant role in product development and differentiation. The Company makes provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

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. We make provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Note 11. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

In May 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with NR-GRI Partners, LP (“NR-GRI”), whereby it sold to NR-GRI, for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,20 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and the Warrants (the “Private Placement”). Refer to Note 9, Warrant Liabilities, for more details related to the Warrants. The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 7,940 shares of common stock at the election of NR-GRI.

On August 1, 2023, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants. As a result of the stockholders’ approval of the Private Placement, applicable ownership limitations under Nasdaq rules were lifted, and NR-GRI became entitled to convert shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock or exercise Warrants up to the full amount purchased in the Private Placement.

Holders of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with holders of common stock. The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, and holders of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock participate with the holders of the common stock on an as-converted basis to the extent any dividends are declared on common stock. The shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically be redeemed in connection with certain transactions (“Fundamental Transactions”), including a merger, sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, recapitalization, or the sale by the Company of shares resulting in more than 50% ownership by a person or group. In such event, the redemption price would be equal to the greater of the stated value of the shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock or the consideration per share of common stock in the Fundamental Transaction (or in the absence of such consideration, the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the closing of the Fundamental Transaction).

The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity in the condensed balance sheet because redemption automatically occurs upon a Fundamental Transaction. However, redemption is not considered probable; therefore, the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is not accreted to face value. The proceeds of the transaction were allocated first to the fair value of warrants due to the classification of the warrants as a liability on the condensed balance sheet and the remainder of the proceeds were allocated to the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. Offering costs of $901 were allocated ratably based on the allocation of proceeds; $253 was allocated to the general and administrative expenses and $648 was allocated to Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is presented net of offering costs on the condensed balance sheet.

In connection with the parties’ entry into the SPA, the Company and NR-GRI entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company filed a resale registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-272930) with respect to the resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants.

Note 12. Stockholders’ Equity

The Inducement Plan

In February 2024, the Board adopted the 2024 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan (the “Inducement Plan”). The Inducement Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and other stock or cash based awards (collectively, the “Inducement Awards”). The Inducement Plan was recommended for approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board and subsequently approved and adopted by the Board without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. A maximum of 100 sharesof common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Inducement Plan. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, Inducement Awards under the 2024 Plan may only be made to an employee who has not previously been an employee or member of the Board, or following a bona fide period of non-employmentby the Company, if he or she is granted such Inducement Awards in connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company.

The Company estimated the fair value of stock-options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of stock options was estimated using the following assumptions for thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Three Months EndedMarch 31,
20252024
Risk-free interest rate4.0 - 4.4%3.9 - 4.2%
Expected term (years)66
Expected volatility61%58%
Dividends0.0%0.0%

Expected term: The expected term for the Company’s stock-based compensation awards was based on an index of the expected terms of a group of comparable publicly-traded medical device and other peer companies, which the Company believed was representative of the expected term of its awards.

Risk-free interest rate: The risk-free interest rate was based on the rates paid on securities issued by the U.S. Treasury with a term approximating the expected term.

Expected volatility: The expected volatility for the Company’s stock-based compensation awards was based on an index of the historical volatilities of a group of comparable publicly-traded medical device and other peer companies, which the Company believed was representative of the volatility of its common stock.

Expected dividend yield: The Company does not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company used a dividend yield ofzero in the assumptions.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units granted to employees and non-employees generally vest overone tofour years in regular increments. The fair value of restricted stock units is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant.

Performance stock units granted to certain executive officers are subject to service and performance conditions. The shares subject to the performance stock units vest over a four-year performance period. The actual number of performance stock units that will vest in each measurement period will be determined by the Compensation Committee based on the Company’s one-year trailing revenues and achievement of certain revenue thresholds. The fair value of performance stock units is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant.

Restricted stock unit and performance stock unit activity under the Incentive Plans is set forth below:

Restricted Stock Units Outstanding
Number of UnitsWeighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Non-vested at December 31, 2024797$3.20
Restricted stock units granted397$10.24
Restricted stock units vested(172)$2.98
Restricted stock units cancelled(2)$6.32
Non-vested at March 31, 20251,020$5.97

The total fair value of restricted stock units vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $511. At March 31, 2025 there was approximately$5,156 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units and performance stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In September 2020, the Board of Directors approved the LENSAR, Inc. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”), under which eligible employees are permitted to purchase common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. A total of 340 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2020 ESPP includes an increase on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning in 2022, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i)1.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; or (ii) a lesser amount as determined by the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has reserved 681 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2020 ESPP. The price of the common stock purchased will be the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of an offering period or at the end of a purchase period. The 2020 ESPP is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code.

As of March 31, 2025,418 shares of common stock have been issued to employees participating in the 2020 ESPP and 262 shares were available for future issuance under the 2020 ESPP. The grant date fair value of the shares to be issued under the Company’s 2020 ESPP was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

The following table sets forth the total stock-based compensation expense recognized under the Incentive Plans and the 2020 ESPP in the Company’s condensed statements of operations:

20271,350
20281,110
2029136
Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense$6,007
