Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Envoy Medical, Inc. (“Envoy Medical” or the “Company”) is a hearing health company focused on the development of fully implanted hearing solutions. The Company has developed two fully implanted hearing devices built around the Company’s proprietary sensor technology, which is implanted in the middle ear. These fully implanted hearing devices are designed to leverage the ear’s natural anatomy to capture sound and eliminate the need for external or subdermal microphones.
The Company’s first product, the Esteem® Fully Implanted Active Middle Ear Implant (“Esteem FI-AMEI”), is a fully implanted active middle ear hearing device. The Esteem FI-AMEI received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in 2010 and remains the only fully implanted hearing device to successfully receive FDA approval.
The Company has shifted its focus to the Company’s second product, the investigational fully implanted Acclaim® Cochlear Implant (“Acclaim CI”), which the Company believes to be the first fully implantable cochlear implant. The Acclaim CI is designed with no external components worn on or behind the ear, does not use an external or subdermal microphone and incorporates an implanted rechargeable battery designed to last several days between charges. The Acclaim CI received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA in 2019. The Acclaim CI is designed to address sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. As part of the clinical trial, the Acclaim CI is intended for adults with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician.
On September 29, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), a merger transaction between Envoy Medical Corporation, Anzu Special Acquisition Corp I (“Anzu”) and Envoy Merger Sub, Inc., a directly, wholly owned subsidiary of Anzu (“Merger Sub”) was completed (hereinafter, the “Merger” or “Business Combination”) pursuant to the business combination agreement, dated as of April 17, 2023 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”). In connection with the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), Merger Sub merged with Envoy Medical Corporation, with Envoy Medical Corporation surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Anzu. In connection with the Closing, Anzu changed its name to Envoy Medical, Inc. The Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and the Company’s public warrants commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on October 2, 2023 under the symbols “COCH” and “COCHW,” respectively.
On April 17, 2023, prior to entering into the Business Combination Agreement, Anzu and Envoy Medical Corporation entered into an agreement (as amended to date, the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP (“MSOF”), Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”) and Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC” and, collectively with MSOF, MCP and MSTO, the “Sellers” or “Meteora Parties”) for an over-the-counter equity prepaid forward transaction.
Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Sellers purchased 425,606 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Recycled Shares”) directly from the redeeming stockholders of Anzu. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Sellers sold the full amount of the Recycled Shares and, pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Company received $4.00 per share sold, or $1,683. Also, effective upon the Closing Date, the Company paid to the Sellers a prepayment amount of $4,451 required under the Forward Purchase Agreement and transferred to the Sellers 8,512 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.
In addition, pursuant to a subscription agreement dated April 17, 2023 (as amended to date, the “Subscription Agreement”), by and between Anzu and Anzu SPAC GP I LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Company issued, and certain affiliates of the Sponsor purchased, concurrently with the Closing, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) in a private placement (the “PIPE Transaction”) at a price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Envoy Medical and its wholly owned subsidiaries Envoy Medical Corporation and Envoy Medical GmbH (Ansbach) (GmbH), which operates a sales office in Germany. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Liquidity and Going Concern
Since inception, the Company has historically incurred negative operating cash flows and losses from operations as the Company advances the clinical development of its products and the funding process of clinical FDA trials. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and although management has developed plans intended to support ongoing operations, such plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $319,097. From February 2024 to June 2025, the Company received advances of $30,000 from term loans provided by a related party that have since been extinguished (see Note 8). In February 2024, the Company received net proceeds of $1,683 from the sale of 425,606 shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Meteora Parties. On various dates in 2024, the Company received net proceeds of $1,815 from the exercise by the Meteora Parties of Shortfall Warrants, as defined in Note 9, for 664,883 shares of Class A Common Stock (see Note 9). On various dates in 2025, the Company received net proceeds of $414 from an at-the-market offering for 300,742 shares of Class A Common Stock and $3,111 from the exercise by the Meteora Parties of Shortfall Warrants for 2,074,012 shares of Class A Common Stock (see Note 9). On September 23, 2025, the Company completed the September 2025 Offering, as defined in Note 9, and received net proceeds of $2,187 for 1,908,402 shares of Class A Common Stock. On October 9, 2025, the Company completed the October 2025 Offering, as defined in Note 9, and received net proceeds of $3,545 for 3,007,524 shares of Class A Common Stock. On February 12, 2026, the Company completed the February 2026 Offering, as defined in Note 9, and received net proceeds of $27,782 for an aggregate of (i)47,946,150 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii)27,053,850 pre-funded warrants to purchase 27,053,850 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company had cash of $25,251 as of March 31, 2026.
Management believes that its existing cash balances combined with potential proceeds from the exercise of outstanding warrants (see Note 9) and cash receipts from product sales will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations, including the Acclaim CI clinical trials, through at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its strategic plans, that the Company’s cash balances and future capital raises will be sufficient to support its ongoing operations, or that any additional financing will be available in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient financing when needed or events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not meet its strategic plans, the Company may be required to reduce certain of its discretionary spending. The Company may be unable to develop new or enhanced production methods, or be unable to fund capital expenditures, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Unaudited Financial Information
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, they do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the full year. As such, the information included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in the Company’s Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, but does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity; disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include but are not limited to the useful lives of property and equipment, the net realizable value of inventory, product warranty liability, stock-based compensation expense, the present value of the lease liability, the fair value of the forward purchase agreement warrant liability, the private warrant liability, and the outcome of litigation. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effect of changes, if any, are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
3. Fair Value Measurements
The following tables provide information related to the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities: | ||||||
| Forward purchase agreement warrant liability | $ | - | $ | - | $37 | $37 |
| Private warrant liability | - | 3,830 | - | 3,830 | ||
| Publicly traded warrant liability | 941 | - | - | 941 | ||

| Publicly traded warrant liability | 551 | - | - | 551 | ||
| $551 | $5,835 | $24 | $6,410 | |||
The Company has classified the publicly traded warrant liability within Level 1 of the hierarchy as the warrant is separately listed and traded in an active market. The publicly traded warrant’s listed price in an active market was used as the fair value.
The private warrant liability includes the September 2025 Investor Warrants and October 2025 Investor Warrants (both as defined in Note 9), with fair values of $1,483 and $2,347, respectively, as of March 31, 2026 and with fair values of $2,255 and $3,580, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. These fair values were estimated using Black-Scholes option models and based upon observable inputs such as the risk-free rate and the Company’s volatility which are considered Level 2 inputs. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding the Level 2 fair value measurements of the private warrant liability as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Stock price | $0.67 | $0.66 |

| Expected volatility | 111.0% - 113.3% | 147.0% -149.0% |
| Expected term (in years) | 1.7 - 1.8 | 1.9 - 2.0 |
| Risk-free rate | 3.75% - 3.76% | 3.50% |
The fair value of the forward purchase agreement warrant liability is a Level 3 fair value measurement and was estimated using Monte Carlo simulation models. The use of significant unobservable inputs could result in those inputs being different at the reporting dates, which could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at the reporting dates. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements of the forward purchase agreement warrant liability as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Stock price | $0.67 | $0.66 |
| Initial exercise price | $10.46 | $10.46 |
| Annual volatility | 146.0% | 115.0% |
| Remaining term (in years) | 0.8 | 1.0 |
| Risk-free rate | 3.63% | 3.42% |
The following tables summarize the activity for the Company’s Level 3 instrument measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| Forward Purchase Agreement Warrant Liability | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | $24 |
| Change in fair value | 13 |

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the Meteora Parties warrants to purchase 3,874,394 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Shortfall Warrants”). As issued, the Shortfall Warrants had an exercise price determined based on the volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock, subject to a $4.00 price floor (the “Exercise Price Floor”), which Exercise Price Floor is adjustable for certain issuances of Class A Common Stock at a price below the then-current Exercise Price Floor. The Shortfall Warrants had an expiration date of June 30, 2024 upon issuance. The fair value of the Shortfall Warrants is presented as the forward purchase agreement warrant liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value of the Shortfall Warrants each period is recorded within the change in fair value of forward purchase agreement warrant liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
On June 24, 2024, the Company and the Meteora Parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Shortfall Warrants to extend the expiration of the Shortfall Warrants to December 31, 2024. Amendment No. 1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
On July 29, 2024, the Company and the Meteora Parties entered into an amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement to adjust the Exercise Price Floor of certain Shortfall Warrants from $4.00 to $2.00 for 1,000,000 of the Shortfall Warrants, $3.00 for an additional 1,000,000 Shortfall Warrants, and with remainder of the Shortfall Warrants retaining the $4.00 Exercise Price Floor.
On December 19, 2024, the Company and the Meteora Parties entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Shortfall Warrants to extend the expiration date of the Shortfall Warrants to December 31, 2025.
On July 28, 2025, the Company and the Meteora Parties entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Shortfall Warrants that changed the Exercise Price Floor to $1.50 for the Shortfall Warrants that remained outstanding. The exercise price of the Shortfall Warrants continues to be based on the volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock subject to the amended Exercise Price Floor.
On December 18, 2025, the Company and the Meteora Parties entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Shortfall Warrants to extend the expiration date of the Shortfall Warrants to December 31, 2026.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Meteora Parties did not exercise any Shortfall Warrants. As of March 31, 2026, Shortfall Warrants to purchase 1,135,499 shares of Class A Common Stock remained outstanding.
Publicly Traded Warrants
The Company has 14,166,666 publicly traded warrants to purchase 14,166,666 shares of its Class A Common Stock (“Publicly Traded Warrants”). The Publicly Traded Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 and expire on September 29, 2028.
Term Loan Warrants
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued Term Loan Warrants to purchase 750,000 shares, of its Class A Common Stock to a related party (see Note 8). The Term Loan Warrants are all outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and were amended with the Voting and Extension Agreement (see Note 8).
September 2025 Offering
On September 22, 2025, the Company entered into purchase agreements with certain investors providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of 1,908,402 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock was offered at a price of $1.31 per share for gross proceeds of $2,500. After deducting direct offering expenses the net cash proceeds to the Company were $2,187. The offering costs were recognized in the loss on offering and change in fair value of private warrant liability in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the period the offering closed. As part of the September 2025 Offering, the Company issued warrants to investors to purchase 5,725,206 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.31 (the “September 2025 Investor Warrants”) per share with each of the investors acquiring three warrants for every share of Class A Common Stock purchased (the “September 2025 Offering”). The closing of the September 2025 Offering occurred on September 23, 2025.
The September 2025 Investor Warrants include certain provisions that could result in a change in the settlement amount based on variables that are not inputs to a “fixed-for-fixed” model, including certain provisions around a change in control transaction. As a result, the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815.
The September 2025 Investor Warrants were initially recognized at fair value on the date of issuance using a Black-Scholes option model. The initial fair value of the September 2025 Investor Warrants was $3,193. Since the fair value of the September 2025 Investor Warrants amount exceeded the proceeds from the September 2025 Offering, an immediate loss of $693 was recognized in the loss on offering and change in fair value of private warrant liability during the period the September 2025 Offering closed in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss resulting in the private warrant liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets being recorded as gross proceeds.
The September 2025 Investor Warrants are remeasured at fair value each reporting date until exercised. Changes in the fair value of the September 2025 Investor Warrants are recognized in the loss on offering and change in fair value of private warrant liability on the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Additional warrants were issued to the placement agent to purchase 143,130 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.6375 per share (the “September 2025 Placement Agent Warrants” and collectively with the September 2025 Investor Warrants the “September 2025 Offering Warrants”). The September 2025 Placement Agent Warrants were issued at 125% of the exercise price of the September 2025 Investor Warrants, based on 7.5% of Class A Common Stock issued as part of the September 2025 Offering, and the placement agent will be compensated in the same manner for future offerings under the engagement agreement. The September 2025 Placement Agent Warrants are classified as contingently redeemable in accordance with ASC 718,Compensation - Stock Compensation(“ASC 718”). These warrants qualify for equity classification, however, because the September 2025 Placement Agent Warrants could be settled in cash or other assets upon a contingent redemption that is not solely within the Company’s control, the September 2025 Placement Agent Warrants have been classified as temporary equity and reported as warrants issued to placement agent as part of the 2025 Offerings (as defined below) in mezzanine equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon issuance, the September 2025 Placement Agent Warrants were recognized at fair value using a Black-Scholes option model and the Company recognized $130 of expense recorded in the loss on offering and change in fair value of private warrant liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 as the service was completed upon closing of the September 2025 Offering. The contingent redemption event is not probable and the September 2025 Placement Agent Warrants are not currently redeemable. Accordingly, the September 2025 Placement Agent Warrants are presented at grant date fair value on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The September 2025 Offering Warrants expire on November 26, 2027, which is two years following stockholder approval of the issuance of the Class A Common Stock underlying the September 2025 Offering Warrants.
October 2025 Offering
On October 7, 2025, the Company entered into purchase agreements with certain investors providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of 3,007,524 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock was offered at a price of $1.33 per share for gross proceeds of $4,000. After deducting direct offering expenses the net cash proceeds to the Company were $3,545. The offering costs were recognized in the loss on offering and change in fair value of private warrant liability in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the period the offering closed. As part of the October 2025 Offering, the Company issued warrants to investors to purchase 9,022,572 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.33 (the “October 2025 Investor Warrants” and collectively with the September 2025 Investor Warrants the “Investor Warrants”) per share with each of the investors acquiring three warrants for every share of Class A Common Stock purchased (the “October 2025 Offering” and collectively with the September 2025 Offering the “2025 Offerings”). The closing of the October 2025 Offering occurred on October 9, 2025.
The October 2025 Investor Warrants include certain provisions that could result in a change in the settlement amount based on variables that are not inputs to a “fixed-for-fixed” model, including certain provisions around a change in control transaction. As a result, the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815.
The October 2025 Investor Warrants were initially recognized at fair value on the date of issuance using a Black-Scholes option model. The initial fair value of the October 2025 Investor Warrants was $6,035. Since the fair value of the October 2025 Investor Warrants amount exceeded the proceeds from the October 2025 Offering, an immediate loss of $2,035 was recognized in the loss on offering and change in fair value of private warrant liability during the period the October 2025 Offering closed in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss resulting in the private warrant liability in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets being recorded as gross proceeds.
The October 2025 Investor Warrants are remeasured at fair value each reporting date until exercised. Changes in the fair value of the October 2025 Investor Warrants are recognized in the loss on offering and change in fair value of private warrant liability on the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Additional warrants were issued to the placement agent to purchase 225,564 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.6625 per share (the “October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants” collectively with the October 2025 Investor Warrants the “October 2025 Offering Warrants”). The October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants were issued at 125% of the exercise price of the October 2025 Investor Warrants, based on 7.5% of Class A Common Stock issued as part of the October 2025 Offering, and the placement agent will be compensated in the same manner for future offerings under the engagement agreement. The October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants are classified as contingently redeemable in accordance with ASC 718. These warrants qualify for equity classification, however, because the October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants could be settled in cash or other assets upon a contingent redemption that is not solely within the Company’s control, the October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants have been classified as temporary equity and reported as warrants issued to placement agent as part of the 2025 Offerings in mezzanine equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon issuance, the October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants were recognized at fair value using a Black-Scholes option model and the Company recognized $262 of expense recorded in the loss on offering and change in fair value of private warrant liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 as the service was completed upon closing of the October 2025 Offering. The contingent redemption event is not probable and the October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants are not currently redeemable. Accordingly, the October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants are presented at grant date fair value on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The October 2025 Offering Warrants expire on December 30, 2027, two years after the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of the October 2025 Offering Warrants. Proceeds were allocated entirely to the October 2025 Investor Warrants as the fair value of the October Investor Warrants exceeded the amount of proceeds received.
February 2026 Offering
On February 12, 2026, the Company completed a public offering (the “February 2026 Offering”) of an aggregate of (i)47,946,150 shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii)27,053,850 pre-funded warrants (the “Issued Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 27,053,850 shares of Class A Common Stock, (iii)45,000,000 Series A-1 Warrants to purchase 45,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and/or pre-funded warrants (the “Series A-1 Warrants”), and (iv)75,000,000 Series A-2 Warrants to purchase 75,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and/or pre-funded warrants (the “Series A-2 Warrants” and, together with the Series A-1 Warrants, the “Series A Warrants”). The Series A Warrants and Issued Pre-Funded Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “February 2026 Offering Warrants,” and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the February 2026 Offering Warrants are collectively referred to as the “February 2026 Offering Warrant Shares.” For each share of Class A Common Stock (or Issued Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu thereof) purchased, the investors received accompanying Series A Warrants in the amount of six-tenths (0.6) of a Series A-1 Warrant and one Series A-2 Warrant. The purchase price for February 2026 Offering was $0.40 per Share (or $0.3999 per Issued Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying Series A Warrants.
The Series A-1 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, become exercisable beginning on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the February 2026 Offering Warrants (the “Stockholder Approval Date”) and will expire on the earlier of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the Stockholder Approval Date or (ii) 30 days following the date the Company publicly announces that it has submitted a Premarket Approval Application (“PMA”) to the FDA for the Acclaim CI. The Series A-2 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, will become exercisable beginning on the Stockholder Approval Date and will expire on the earlier of (i) the 60-month anniversary of the Stockholder Approval Date or (ii) 30 days following the date the Company publicly announces that it has received FDA approval for the Acclaim CI. Should either the Series A-1 Warrants or Series A-2 Warrants be exercised for pre-funded warrants, the exercise price would be $0.3999 which is the exercise price of $0.40 per share less $0.0001 to eventually exercise the pre-funded warrants.
The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the February 2026 Offering were $29,997. After deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses paid in cash, the Company received $27,782 of net proceeds. The potential additional gross proceeds to the Company from the Series A-1 Warrants and Series A-2 Warrants, if fully-exercised on a cash basis following the Stockholder Approval Date, will be approximately $18,000 and $30,000, respectively, or $48,000 in total.
The February 2026 Offering included beneficial ownership limitations preventing the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, from beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the investor,9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Stock.
The Company evaluated the February 2026 Offering Warrants under ASC 815 and determined that they met the requirements for equity classification and are classified in stockholders’ equity. In the event of certain change-in-control or similar transactions, the Series A Warrants provide for settlement in the same form of consideration received by holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and do not permit net cash settlement at the option of the holder except in circumstances consistent with equity classification under ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the proceeds were recorded as additional paid-in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and are not subject to remeasurement on an ongoing basis.
Additional warrants were issued to the placement agent to purchase 3,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share (the “February 2026 Placement Agent Warrants”). The February 2026 Placement Agent Warrants become exercisable on the Stockholder Approval Date and expire on the earlier of (i) the 24 month anniversary of the Stockholder Approval Date, (ii) 30 days following the date the Company publicly announces that it has received FDA approval for the Acclaim CI, and (iii) and in no event later than February 11, 2031.
The February 2026 Placement Agent Warrants were issued with an exercise price equal to 125% of the price per share of the Class A Common Stock issued in the February 2026 Offering and represented 5.0% of the aggregate Class A Common Stock and Issued Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the February 2026 Offering.
The February 2026 Placement Agent Warrants are contingently redeemable in accordance with ASC 718 and include a contingent redemption feature that is solely within the Company’s control. As a result, the warrants qualify for equity classification and are included within additional paid-in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The February 2026 Placement Agent Warrants are also a direct offering expense that are charged against proceeds of the February 2026 Offering within additional paid-in capital resulting in no impact to shareholders’ equity (deficit).
Common Stock Issued for Services
On September 3, 2025, the Company issued 109,670 shares of its Class A Common Stock to a vendor in exchange for services. The Company is recognizing the corresponding $133 of expense over the six- month service period based on the fair value of the stock at the time of issuance. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $44 during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
10. Series A Preferred Stock
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated, authorized the Company to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which 10,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock.
Pursuant to a convertible promissory note, dated April 17, 2023, between Envoy Medical Corporation and GAT (the “Envoy Bridge Note”), the Sponsor Support Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, the Company has outstanding an aggregate of 4,126,667 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Series A Preferred Stock was originally issued to the following investors:
| ● | 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to GAT pursuant to the Envoy Bridge Note; |
| ● | 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Sponsor pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement; and |
| ● | 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to certain affiliates of the Sponsor in the PIPE Transaction pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. |
As described subsequently in this note, on December 20, 2024, the Company entered into a Conversion and Waiver Agreement with the Sponsor whereby 373,333 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into Class A Common Stock resulting in a remaining 2,126,667 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Sponsor pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the following rights and preferences:
Voting Rights
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders, except in the case that the Company creates any equity or debt instrument that ranks senior or pari passu to the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or in the case of any adverse change to the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Conversion Rights
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance into such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as determined by dividing the issuance price of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock of $10.00, by the conversion price, which was $11.50 per share as of March 31, 2026 and is adjustable for certain dilutive events.
Redemption
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to any redemption rights, other than those under their liquidation rights discussed below. The Company does not have the option to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock.
Dividend Rights
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend which accrues at the rate of 12% of the original issuance price of $10.00 per share per annum (“Regular Dividend”). The Regular Dividend accrues on a daily basis from and including the issuance date of such shares, whether or not declared, and will be payable in cash on a quarterly basis. If the Company fails to pay the Regular Dividends on the dividend payment date, then an additional dividend on the amount of the unpaid portion shall automatically accrue at 12%. The Company did not pay Regular Dividends starting in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 or during any following quarters.
Specifically, pursuant to the 2,126,667 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding subject to the Sponsor Support Agreement, any dividends arising will accrue and not require timely payment at any time when the Company has less than $10,000 of net tangible assets. The Company did not satisfy the $10,000 net tangible asset requirement until the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Accordingly, the Company deferred payment of dividends related to the Series A Preferred Stock held by the Sponsor. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued unpaid Regular Dividends of $3,265 and $2,628, respectively. Upon satisfying the net tangible asset requirement as of March 31, 2026, the Company recognized an additional $79 of dividends. The $79 of additional dividends has been accrued on the $2,628 of previously accrued and unpaid dividends payable to the Sponsor, calculated based on the annual dividend rate prorated for the quarter. The $637 of Regular Dividends subject to the Sponsor Support Agreement and earned during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 will accrue $19 of additional dividends per quarter under the same dividend terms, provided the Company satisfies the $10,000 net tangible asset requirement. The additional dividends will continue to accrue until either the dividends are paid or the Company is no longer above the net tangible asset threshold.
With respect to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock other than the Series A Preferred Stock subject to the Sponsor Support Agreement held by the Sponsor, the Company had accrued unpaid Regular Dividends of $1,734 and $1,134 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, an additional dividend of $50 and $16, respectively, has been accrued for the unpaid Regular Dividends owed to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock not subject to the Sponsor Support Agreement as described above. The additional dividends will continue to accrue until the dividends are paid.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled to dividends or distributions (“Participating Dividends”) senior to Class A Common Stock of the Company when such dividends are declared. There were no Participating Dividends declared as of March 31, 2026.
Liquidation Preference
In the event of any liquidation, deemed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of any security of the Company that ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, including, but not limited to, the Class A Common Stock, an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the greater of i) $10.00 plus any unpaid cash dividends and ii) the amount the holder would have received, if such holder, immediately prior to such involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Company, had converted such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock.
Sponsor Induced Conversion
On December 20, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Conversion and Waiver Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) with the Sponsor.
As of the Effective Date of the Conversion Agreement, the Sponsor was the holder of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and the Contingent Sponsor Shares. The Contingent Sponsor Shares were unvested and subject to certain restrictions and risk of forfeiture under the Sponsor Support Agreement until certain milestones were achieved.
Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Agreement, the Sponsor and the Company agreed that, upon the Effective Date of the Conversion Agreement: (i) the Sponsor waived the Company’s obligation to pay the $3,733 of dividends accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock as of the Effective Date; (ii) the Company waived the restriction and vesting requirement for the Contingent Sponsor Shares, making these shares unrestricted and freely tradable; (iii) the Company agreed to make a voluntary, temporary reduction in the conversion price, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, of all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock effective December 20, 2024 through January 20, 2025 from $11.50 per share of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock to $3.63 per share (the “Conversion Price Reduction”), with the conversion ratio determined by dividing the $10.00 original issue price of the Series A Preferred Stock by such Conversion Price; and (iv) the Sponsor agreed to convert 373,333 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 1,028,986 shares of Class A Common Stock at the temporary Conversion Price.
As the Company was legally released from its obligation to pay certain accrued dividends to the Sponsor, the Company derecognized the accrued dividends in the amount of $3,733 as a result of the Conversion Agreement. The Company determined that the release of the accrued dividends represents paid-in-kind consideration in the form of a stock dividend, as the Sponsor agreed to receive Class A Common Stock at the reduced conversion price under the Conversion Agreement in exchange for waiving the Company’s obligation to pay the accrued dividends.
Additionally, the Company determined that the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock was an induced conversion as the reduced conversion price was only offered for a limited time and included the issuance of all equity securities issuable pursuant to the conversion privileges included in the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock that was converted to Class A Common Stock.
11. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that its CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.
The Company hasone reportable segment: hearing. The hearing segment derives revenue from the sale of the Esteem FI-AMEI implants and replacement components to Esteem FI-AMEI implants. The Company enters into arrangements with patients to provide them with the Esteem FI-AMEI device, personal programmer devices, sound processor replacements, and Battery replacements.
The Company derives revenue primarily in the United States and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis.
The accounting policies of the hearing segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance for the hearing segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that also is reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets.
The CODM uses net loss to evaluate the results generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to make investments into the hearing segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for entering into significant contracts, hiring of key management or executive personnel, making significant capital investment decisions, or changing Company-wide strategy.
Net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results and assist the CODM in understanding the Company’s cash flows and liquidity position, which is critical as a development stage entity. This allows the CODM to make the appropriate spending decisions for the Company.
The following table summarizes the significant expense categories regularly reviewed by the CODM for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|

12. Related Party Transactions
The Company had various transactions with a former member of its board of directors and a stockholder of the Company, which is considered a related party.
| ● | The Company leases its headquarters office space in Minnesota from a company owned by the stockholder. The lease is considered a common control leasing arrangement. The lease liability due to the stockholder was $889 and $919 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. |
| ● | The Company received Term Loans from GAT during 2024 and 2025 (see Note 8). |
| ● | The Company has a shared services arrangement with a company that is indirectly owned by the stockholder, for certain support services used in the course of business. In relation to the shared services arrangement, the Company’s expenses are not material. |
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is party to various litigation matters arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business.
On November 14, 2023, the Company, Whitney Haring-Smith (the former chief executive officer and a former director of the Company), Daniel Hirsch (the former chief financial officer of the Company), and Anzu SPAC GP I LLC were named as defendants in a complaint filed by Atlas Merchant Capital SPAC Fund I LP (“Atlas”) in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Atlas alleges that it was not allowed to redeem its shares of the Anzu class A common stock and that the defendants acted to prevent Atlas’s attempt to redeem its shares. The defendants assert that Atlas did not comply with the requirements for redeeming shares set forth in the Company’s organizational documents. Atlas asserts damages in the amount of approximately $9,400, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Company has standard indemnification obligations to Dr. Haring-Smith and Mr. Hirsch. The Company believes that the lawsuit is meritless and has been defending this matter vigorously. On March 3, 2025, the court partially granted a motion to dismiss which dismissed and reduced some of the Counts and allegations in the amended complaint, which narrowed the theories and facts at issue in this litigation. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this legal proceeding.
The Company has business liability insurance to cover litigation costs exceeding $5,000. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has not recorded accruals for potential losses related to any existing or pending litigation claims as the Company’s management determined that there are no matters where a potential loss is probable and reasonably estimable.
Interest Related to an Uncertain Tax Position
The Company timely remitted a tax payment to the IRS, the IRS later refunded those amounts to the Company and has asserted that interest is due retroactive to the original payment date. The Company believes that, because the IRS had possession and use of the funds for a portion of the relevant period and was not the result of a substantive tax underpayment by the Company, any interest computation should be limited to the period, if any, during which the Company had use of the refunded amounts. While the Company does not believe it is probable that interest will ultimately be owed, it is reasonably possible that the IRS could prevail. If so, the Company could be required to pay up to approximately $150 of interest related to this matter. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not accrued for interest related to interest from the uncertain tax position.
14. Net Loss per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, | ||
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net loss | $(4,351) | $(4,998) |
| Less: Cumulative preferred dividends | (1,350) | (1,238) |
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | $(5,701) | (6,236) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average Class A Common Stock and pre-funded warrants outstanding, basic and diluted | 68,934,960 | 21,326,609 |
| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | $(0.08) | $(0.29) |
Included within weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 202627,053,850 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants, respectively. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time for nominal consideration, and as such, the shares are considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted net loss per share (See Note 9).
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities below, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding noted above used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to stockholders of Class A Common Stock for these periods is the same.
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, | ||
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Stock options | 3,094,473 | 2,295,904 |

| Publicly Traded Warrants | 14,166,666 | 14,166,666 |
| Shortfall Warrants | 1,135,499 | 3,209,511 |
