Avenue Loan and Security Agreement

On the LSA Closing Date, we, and our wholly owned subsidiary, NURO, each as borrowers, entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with Avenue as administrative agent and collateral agent, and as lender.

Amount. The Loan and Security Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.0 million (the “Loan Amount”) to be delivered in two tranches (the “Term Loans”). The tranches consist of (i) a term loan advanced to the Company on the LSA Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million (“Tranche 1”), and (ii) subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, a right of the Company to request that Avenue make additional term loan advances to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.5 million (“Tranche 2”), which right expires on December 31, 2025. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Term Loans for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Maturity. The Term Loans mature on August 1, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”).

Interest Rate and Amortization. The principal balance of the Term Loans bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the sum of 5.0% and the prime rate as reported inThe Wall Street Journal, provided that, in the event such prime rate of interest is less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero, and (ii) twelve and one-half percent (12.50%) (the “Interest Rate”). Interest only shall be payable at the Interest Rate during the period following the LSA Closing Date and continuing until the first day of the first full calendar month following the 18 month anniversary of the LSA Closing Date, provided, however, that such period shall be extended for six months if as of the 18 month anniversary of the LSA Closing Date, the Company has achieved certain milestones, as provided in the Supplement to the Loan and Security Agreement dated August 4, 2025, by and among the Company, NURO and Avenue (the “Supplement”); provided, further, however, that the such interest only period shall not exceed 24 months. Thereafter, principal and interest of the Term Loans shall be fully amortized and paid, in equal, monthly principal installments, plus interest at the Interest Rate for such month, through the Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Supplement.

Final Payment. The Company will pay final payment at a fee of 3.5% of the Loan Amount, due upon the earlier of the Maturity Date or prepayment in full of the Term Loans.

Prepayment Fee. The Company may, at its option at any time, prepay the Term Loans in their entirety by paying the then outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans, subject to a prepayment fee equal to (i) 3.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs on or prior to the first anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, (ii) 2.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs after the first anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, but on or prior to the second anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, and (iii) 1.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs after the second anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, but on or prior to the Maturity Date.

Security. The Loan and Security Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets in which Avenue is granted a senior secured lien. The Company also grants Avenue a negative pledge on the Company’s intellectual property, subject to limited exceptions, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement.

Covenants; Representations and Warranties; Other Provisions. The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by the Company limiting certain additional indebtedness, liens (including a negative pledge on intellectual property and other assets, subject to limited exceptions), guaranties, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, certain corporate changes, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes.

Default Provisions. The Loan and Security Agreement provides for events of default customary for term loans of this type, including but not limited to non-payment, breaches or defaults in the performance of covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy and the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company. After the occurrence of an event of default, Avenue may (i) accelerate payment of all obligations, impose an increased rate of interest, and terminate Avenue commitments under the Loan and Security Agreement and (ii) exercise any other right or remedy provided by contract or applicable law.

Conversion Right. Additionally, subject to certain exceptions, Avenue has the right to convert (the “Conversion Right”) an aggregate amount of up to $2.5 million of the outstanding Loan Amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $8.4625, representing 125% of the lower of (i) the five-day volume-weighted average price of Company’s common stock as calculated on the day prior to the LSA Closing Date, or (ii) the closing price of Company’s common stock on the date prior to the LSA Closing Date ($6.77). In the event the Company elects to prepay the Term Loans in full, the Company shall provide no less than five business days’ prior written notice to Avenue; provided, however, if Avenue has not yet exercised the Conversion Right, the Company shall provide written notice of prepayment at least 10 days in advance of the proposed prepayment date and Avenue shall have the option, with respect to the Conversion Right, to exercise the Conversion Right by delivering written notice to the Company at least two business days in advance of the proposed prepayment date.

*Right to Invest.*Avenue shall have the right, but not the obligation, to invest up to an aggregate of $1 million in equity securities of the Company on the same terms, conditions, and pricing offered by the Company to other investors in connection with any offering of the Company’s equity securities to third party investors for capital raising purposes occurring after the Closing Date, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Supplement.

The term of each Class II director lasts until the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with the appointment of Mr. Theofilos to the Board, the size of the Board was increased by resolution of the Board from seven members to eight members on August 1, 2025.

James C. Theofilos, 30, has been a Senior Finance Manager within the Azure and artificial intelligence division of Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) since October 2023. In this role, Mr. Theofilos is the Go-to-Market (“GTM”) Finance Lead across Microsoft’s AI Apps & Agents team, which includes all of Microsoft’s AI models, GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, and other products that aim to deliver the full value of AI & Agents. Previously, Mr. Theofilos held various finance positions at Microsoft including his position as the Finance Lead for Microsoft’s Global Healthcare & Life Sciences Sales team, which included exposure to the Health Providers, Payors, Pharma and Med Tech industry verticals. Prior to that, Mr. Theofilos consulted as a Group Project Manager at VICI Properties Inc., a publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trust primarily engaged in the business of owning and acquiring gaming, hospitality, wellness, entertainment, and leisure destinations, based in New York City. Mr. Theofilos holds an M.S. in Finance and a B.S.B.A. in Finance from Washington University in Saint Louis. The Board believes that Mr. Theofilos’ business experience, and his knowledge of the finance and technology industries, qualify him to serve on the Board.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Theofilos and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director of the Company. As required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, Happy Holstein Management, LLC (“Happy Holstein”), of which Mr. Theofilos’ mother, Kathryn Theofilos, is the manager, participated as an investor in the Company’s June 2024 private placement.

Resignation and Reappointment of a Director

Consistent with the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws of the Company, and in order to achieve a more equal balance of membership among the three classes of members of the Board, the Board has determined that one of the Class II directors with a term expiring at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders should move to Class III with a term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, on August 1, 2025, Thomas M. Patton resigned as a Class II director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, and was immediately reappointed to the Board as a Class III director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. The resignation and reappointment of Mr. Patton was not due to any disagreement with the Company, the Board or the management of the Company. For all other purposes, including equity award vesting and other compensation matters, Mr. Patton’s service on the Board is deemed to have continued uninterrupted. Mr. Patton will continue as the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board.
