Due to the significant number of redemptions of HSAC2’s ordinary shares in connection with the Business Combination, there was a significantly lower number of HSAC2 ordinary shares that converted into shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement we entered into in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and certain warrant agreements, the Company has filed a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) that registers, among other things, the resale of an aggregate of 18,586,201 shares of Company Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 52% of the outstanding Company Common Stock as of May 1, 2024. Additionally, some of the shares of the Company Common Stock being registered for resale were originally purchased by selling stockholders pursuant to investments in Legacy Orchestra or HSAC2 at prices considerably below the current market price of the Company Common Stock. These selling stockholders may realize a positive rate of return on the sale of their shares of Company Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement and therefore will have an incentive to sell their shares. Public shareholders may not experience a similar rate of return on shares of Company Common Stock they purchased. This discrepancy in purchase prices may have an impact on the market perception of the Company Common Stock’s value and could increase the volatility of the market price of the Company Common Stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of the Company Common Stock. The registration of these shares of Company Common Stock for resale creates the possibility of a significant increase in the supply of the Company Common Stock in the market. The increased supply, coupled with the potential disparity in purchase prices, may lead to heightened selling pressure, which could negatively affect the public trading price of our Common Stock.

We had $23.7 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024, which consisted primarily of bank deposits and money market funds. We also had $41.5 million of short-term marketable securities at June 30, 2024, which consisted primarily of our investments in corporate and government debt securities.

We continue to prioritize planned spending on our BackBeat CNT (AVIM therapy) program and the execution of our BACKBEAT pivotal study, for which we announced the commencement of enrollment on January 8, 2024. As previously disclosed, we have also reduced our 2024 planned spending related to our Virtue SAB program and the execution of our Virtue ISR-US pivotal study, for which we announced conditional IDE approval from the FDA on August 8, 2023. With regard to our Virtue SAB program and our planned Virtue ISR-US pivotal study, we have delayed initiation of this study until such time as we (1) consider the clinical study design implications of the recent FDA approval of BSC’s AGENT paclitaxel DCB for the treatment of coronary ISR; and (2) restructure our partnership agreement with Terumo in a manner that provides us with a satisfactory amount of additional capital, whether from equity investment, milestone payments or other financial arrangements, which additional capital we may not receive. With regard to our AVIM therapy program and our planned BACKBEAT pivotal study, we currently expect operating expenses to increase to support clinical study costs as well as additional research and development expenses in support of future potential regulatory approval and commercialization of AVIM therapy-enabled Medtronic pacemakers.

We have determined that intellectual property licensed to Terumo and the research and development services to be provided to support the premarket approval by the FDA for the ISR indication represent a combined performance obligation that is satisfied over time, which is currently estimated to be completed in 2029, and that the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenues relates to a proportional performance model that measures the proportional performance based on the costs incurred to date relative to the total costs expected to be incurred through the completion of the performance obligation.
