ITEM 1.    BUSINESS
Overview
Ontrak, Inc. (“Ontrak,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 29, 2003. Ontrak was founded with a passion for engaging with and helping improve the health and save the lives of anyone impacted by behavioral health conditions through our Wholehealth+ solution. We are an artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered and technology-enabled behavioral healthcare company, whose mission is to help improve the health and save the lives of as many people as possible. Our technology-enabled platform utilizes claim-based analytics and predictive modeling to provide analytic insights throughout the delivery of our personalized care program. Our program predicts people whose chronic disease will improve with behavior change, recommends effective care pathways that people are willing to follow, and engages and guides them to and through the care and treatment they need. By combining predictive analytics with human engagement, we deliver improved member health and validated outcomes and savings to healthcare payors.

Our integrated, technology-enabled solutions are designed to provide healthcare solutions to members with behavioral conditions that cause or exacerbate chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and congestive heart failure, which result in high medical costs. Ontrak has a unique ability to engage these members, who may not otherwise seek behavioral healthcare, leveraging proprietary enrollment capabilities built on deep insights into the drivers of care avoidance. Ontrak integrates evidence-based psychosocial and medical interventions delivered either in-person or via telehealth, along with care coaches who address the social and environmental determinants of health. Our programs seek to improve member health and deliver validated cost savings to healthcare payors.
We operate as one segment in the United States and we contract with leading national and regional health plans and other at-risk payors to make our solutions available to eligible members.

Our Market
The true impact of behavioral health is often under-identified by organizations that provide healthcare benefits. Individuals with unaddressed behavioral health conditions that worsen chronic medical comorbidities cost health plans and employers a disproportionate amount of the total healthcare costs. A recent analysis in Milliman's research report titled “How do individuals with behavioral health conditions contribute to physical and total healthcare spending?” dated August 13, 2020 (the "Milliman research report") found that for the high-cost behavioral health population, who typically have multiple chronic medical comorbidities, insignificant amounts are spent on needed behavioral healthcare. This unaddressed situation not only negatively impacts the lives of these individuals, but also significantly contributes to avoidable spending on healthcare costs associated with their chronic medical comorbidities.
1



As unmanaged chronic conditions worsen over time, avoidable emergency department and inpatient costs are incurred. As such, engaging this population not only offers health plans a much greater cost savings opportunity compared to lower acuity populations, but also the opportunity to improve the lives and outcomes of their most vulnerable members.
A smaller, high-cost subset of these patients with behavioral health conditions drives the majority of the claims costs for the overall substance dependent population. According to the Milliman research report, the behavioral subgroup patients constituted 5.7% of the total commercial population of insured lives but accounted for 44% of total commercial healthcare costs. Furthermore, adults with anxiety, addiction and/or depressive disorders increased by 300% since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mental Health America, a large community-based nonprofit dedicated to addressing the needs of those living with mental illness and promoting mental health, indicates in its 2023 report titled “The State of Mental Health in America” that 21% of adults in the United States of America are impacted by mental illness, which is equivalent to over 50 million Americans, of which over half of these adults do not receive any treatment and that approximately 28% of these adults with mental illness were not able to receive the treatment they needed and that this number has not declined since 2011. When considering behavioral health-related costs, many organizations have historically only looked at direct treatment costs–usually behavioral claims. For the members we seek to engage in our solution, costs associated with behavioral health treatment represent a small portion of their overall healthcare claims, while the medical costs associated with their chronic medical conditions are significant as most patients with behavioral health conditions do not receive the appropriate treatment they need for other existing medical conditions.
Our Solution
Our business strategy is to deliver proven, evidence-based clinical and financial outcomes to health plans for their members with unaddressed behavioral conditions that worsen other medical comorbidities. We do this by offering our Wholehealth+ solution, which consists of Ontrak Identify, Ontrak Outreach, Ontrak Engage and Ontrak Access. These solutions enable identifying, engaging and treating these members through our technology-enabled program that focuses on the intersection between behavioral health, physical health and social health. Our advanced AI-supported intervention platform provides enhanced identification, engagement, digital indicators and treatment processes to improve the overall program efficacy and visibility, which provides greater flexibility to tailor treatment for a more personalized and effective behavior health solution designed to address the needs of our members throughout their care journey.
Ontrak is pioneering a new approach to behavioral healthcare, one that infuses AI services into every step of a members' behavioral health journey. The result is an industry-leading Advanced Engagement System, and measurement feedback system, that optimizes program eligibility, member outreach, coaching interaction, provider visits, interoperability of data, and outcomes.
The Company’s identification process includes the ability to customize outreach based on prediction of case complexity, readiness to engage, highest cost to health plans, inappropriate use of hospitalization and gaps in care. The engagement process will enable Ontrak to predict probability of contact based on the member’s preferences, optimal matching of members and coaches, and optimal matching of members and providers. Additionally, digital care indicators will highlight to care coaches when a member is at risk and new mobile experiences will trigger a signal for encouragement when a member is likely to disengage. Treatment will be enhanced by natural language processing of care coach notes and provider visit transcripts, so that these can be rapidly shared between care coaches and providers for valuable engagement signals and real time action throughout the member’s journey. Ontrak’s engagement process is enhanced through 6- and 12-month behavioral health check-ins after graduation to feed the algorithms, inform training, and continuously improve program efficacy. By using end to end AI services across every member’s behavioral health journey, Ontrak can provide payers and providers with better coordinated and easier to measure care.

We believe that in addition to virtual care, a human touch is necessary to keep members engaged in line with their goals. A successful program must take a whole-person approach, individualized to each member, and help members overcome barriers to care and empower them to create durable behavior change. Our unique approach to engage complex, unmanaged populations identifies these members and addresses the various barriers to care that may be impacting them through our proven four-step approach.
Hard-to-engage populations need a high-touch solution. Our Ontrak solution provides personalized, thoughtful plans of care by combining care coaching with innovative psychosocial and medical treatment delivered through a proprietary provider network. The solution is designed to help payors treat and manage populations struggling with substance use disorder, depression and anxiety to improve their health and thereby decrease their overall health care costs.
2



Enrolled members receive care coaching and the opportunity to participate in telehealth or face-to-face evidence-based psychosocial and pharmacological treatment from our proprietary network of third-party providers. Ontrak care coaches guide members to relevant clinical pathways and providers, and stay connected to each member throughout the 12-month Ontrak program to ensure that social determinants of health are assessed and addressed with the same level of attention as behavioral health risks. Our dedicated care coaches focus on member skill building and personal health goals, while coordinating care with a tightly integrated network of therapists, psychiatrists and addiction specialists who provide behavioral health treatment to address underlying behavioral conditions.
Upon graduation from our Ontrak program, members have overcome barriers to care, realized durable behavior changes, and are actively managing their health by staying engaged with their primary care physician, behavioral provider(s) and health plan. For graduated members, Ontrak's differentiated, high-touch approach to engagement results in lasting improvements in clinical outcomes, while driving significant, durable cost savings for health plans by reducing avoidable emergency department and inpatient utilization.
We believe the benefits of Ontrak program include improved clinical outcomes and decreased costs for the payor, as well as improved quality of life for the member. We provide outcomes reporting to payors on a periodic basis to demonstrate the value of the program. The following provides a summary of the four distinct solutions we offer, which in the aggregate represent Wholehealth+:
Ontrak Identify

Ontrak Identify provides the market with our proprietary AI-enabled predictive algorithms and imputed diagnoses to find those members who are hardest to reach for our prospect base. We specifically focus on members with anxiety, depression and/or substance use disorder(s) by using AI and predictive modeling, applying claims-based analytics to identify health plan members with medical costs that may be impacted through behavioral health treatment with the Ontrak program. We uncover deep, predictive attributes, leveraging advanced data analytics using variety of different features relating to co-occurring medical conditions to identify individuals with unaddressed behavioral health conditions, even absent a diagnosis, that cause or exacerbate chronic medical disease. These members may or may not be diagnosed with a behavioral condition. Whether these members remain in the Ontrak program, or are referred back to our customers for their follow up and treatment, we believe there is value in tailoring solutions to meet the particular needs of each customer.
Ontrak Outreach
Ontrak Outreach leverages our best-in-class member enrollment specialists and evidence-based outreach approaches to reach and enroll new members into a plan’s existing offerings. Ontrak has developed superior enrollment expertise through years of successful refinement. Whether we enroll members in Ontrak’s Wholehealth+ or Ontrak Engage or use our expertise to enroll members in our customers’ existing, non-Ontrak programs, there is value in tailoring solutions to meet the particular needs of each customer.
In September 2023, we announced the successful deployment of Axiom Systems TransSend Core EDI Gateway, a cutting-edge solution that not only simplifies the process of managing electronic data interchange (EDI) exchanges with trading partners while complying with federal requirements and best industry practices, but also enables Ontrak to leverage advanced analytics and AI to identify and engage members who need our care the most and improve our data quality and integrity, resulting in faster and more accurate AI-based member identification, outreach, engagement and behavioral healthcare provider access.
With the combination of our AI driven identification of potential members and person-centered outreach methodology, on average, we successfully enroll approximately 48% of eligible and identified members into the Ontrak program.
Ontrak Engage
Ontrak Engage is our cutting-edge coaching model which includes evidence-based techniques and consistent coaching sessions that drive meaningful behavior change. We offer this solution for populations across all acuity levels, with flexibility to support members’ specific needs. Our partnership with a leading AI natural language processing platform now enhances our coaches’ effectiveness through real-time insights on how they engage with members. Whether we provide coaching, or marry it with access to our top-notch provider network, there is value in tailoring solutions to meet the particular needs of each customer.
With behavioral health concerns on the rise, and with social detriments and access barriers continuing to impact how and when these individuals seek care, it has never been more important to engage members who need help. Health plans struggle to effectively engage high-cost members with unaddressed behavioral health issues and chronic disease. Ontrak conducts smarter, more effective outreach on behalf of the health plans through its proven approach to engage costly, complex populations with unaddressed behavioral conditions and chronic disease.
3



Our engagement process is rooted in understanding the whole person and their individual barriers to healthcare access. Ontrak conducts multichannel outreach under its model of coaching to engage and enroll the members that are identified in its initial identification phase as described above. We use motivational interviewing, which is an evidence-based approach to behavioral change to identify participants' values, goals, needs, abilities and barriers. By understanding members on a more personal level, our team of trained, dedicated member engagement specialists and care coaches work together to remove barriers and drive program engagement, resulting in better retention that leads to better healthcare outcomes for members and reducing avoidable costs for health plans. Ontrak's enrollment specialists and care coaches build trust using a whole-person approach that aligns with each member's individualized concerns and challenges, including understanding their total health needs and identifying and removing barriers to care. Ontrak's model drives exceptionally high member engagement with the program, even among those who have failed in other behavior change programs.
Ontrak Access

Ontrak Access gives customers the opportunity to develop and monitor their behavioral health networks and improve access and availability, whether or not paired with Ontrak Engage or other components of our program. In May 2023, the Company achieved certification as a Credentials Verification Organization ("CVO") by the National Committee for Quality Assurance ("NCQA") for the element of license to practice, which further allows customers to delegate credentialing to Ontrak as needed. Ontrak Access provides a robust network of over 7,900 contracted providers in 45 states, real-time referrals with appointments within 1-2 weeks, and measurable outcomes driven by coordinated care team collaboration around treatment plan, medication adherence and goal achievement.

Each of the four segmented products described above builds upon our strengths in each area, the whole of which forms the basis for our Ontrak WholeHealth+ comprehensive solution that is still available. We believe that these customized solutions, each with their own pricing model, give us and our potential prospects the flexibility to design the most relevant and effective programs for their members.

Our Marketing Strategy

We are currently marketing our Ontrak solutions to payors with flexible fee structure, which includes, monthly enrollment fee or fee for service basis, which would also be combined with a shared savings rate.
We market our traditional Wholehealth+ solution, which focuses on the 2-4% of members who are lost to care, have high-cost thresholds, and chronic physical conditions with un- or under-addressed behavioral health needs, which our coaching and therapy model has been proven to address. However, we believe we can help health plan payors, value-based providers, and self-insured employers in their support and care for all of their members with each component of our solutions.

How Whole-Person Care Delivers Meaningful Outcomes That Last
In mid-2021, we presented a landmark behavioral study of the real-world impact of the Ontrak program, called the "Treatment Effect of the Ontrak Program" (the "Treatment Effect Study") at the American Health Insurance Plans event. In December 2022, the Treatment Effect Study was published in the prestigious American Journal of Managed Care. The Treatment Effect Study reviewed healthcare utilization and costs over a 36-month period and compared the outcomes for Ontrak graduates to a propensity-matched group of individuals who were eligible to enroll but did not. The Treatment Effect Study demonstrated our program's ability to effectively help health plans engage hard-to-reach populations and reduce costs by reducing avoidable inpatient utilization and increasing use of productive, preventive care. Health plans saw the following results for each Ontrak graduate in the study:

•$485 per member per month savings, on a statistically significant, difference in difference basis, durable 24     months post-enrollment
•66% reduction in avoidable inpatient utilization
•50% increase in preventive care services

The Treatment Effect Study demonstrates that Ontrak's behavioral health interventions work over the long-term, resulting in better outcomes for members and significant cost-savings for payors, and should be integrated as a critical component of healthcare plans.

In October 2023, the Company announced the preliminary results of a formal evaluation conducted to assess the impact of Ontrak WholeHealth+ program on one of its health plan customer's Medicaid members' medical costs, which showed achievement of $750 per member per month cost savings for its graduated members with the WholeHealth+ program. Preliminary results of this 36-month retrospective observational study have shown statistically significant savings of all-cause medical costs over 24 months of $750 per member per month among our treated group compared with matched controls. This outcome underscores the remarkable effectiveness of the WholeHealth+ program in reducing healthcare expenditures while improving patient outcomes. It also adds results for Medicaid members in addition to previously measured Medicare and Commercial member savings of $485 per member per month as part of Ontrak’s independently validated 2021 Treatment Effect Study discussed above.

We have validated, durable medical claims savings and ROI outcomes across all lines of business, including Medicare, Medicaid and commercial health plan members. In addition to medical claims savings, our members, once enrolled, increase preventive and managed care utilization, closing gaps in care, thereby becoming more self-sustaining individuals. We have been able to evidence clinical improvements of our members with the implementation of the tracking of our member’s PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores over the course of our program. In September 2023, the results of our 9-month post baseline follow-up behavioral health study, leveraging industry-recognized PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessments, have shown 60% clinically significant (i.e. five point) reduction in anxiety symptoms and 53% clinically significant reduction in depressive symptoms among assessed members.

Market for Employer Mental Health and Wellbeing Support Services

Under our LifeDojo solution, our science-backed behavior change platform, we provide mental health and wellbeing support to members of employer customers. The LifeDojo approach to member-centric behavior change delivers lasting health improvement outcomes, high enrollment and better engagement than traditional programs, making transformative life changes possible for members.

Recent Business Developments

Over the last two years, our management has approved multiple restructuring plans as part of management's continued cost saving measures in order to reduce our operating costs, optimize our business model and help align with our previously stated strategic initiatives. In furtherance of the restructuring plans:

•In August 2022, approximately 34% of our employee positions were eliminated, which resulted in a reduction of annual compensation costs of approximately $7.7 million and in annual third party costs of approximately $3.0 million.

•In March 2023, approximately 19% of our employee positions were eliminated, which resulted in a reduction of annual compensation costs of approximately $2.7 million.

•In February 2024, approximately 20% of our employee positions were eliminated, which is expected to result in a reduction of annual compensation costs of approximately $2.2 million. The headcount reductions were completed during March 2024.

On October 10, 2023, we were notified by a health plan customer of its intent not to continue using our services after February 2024. The customer advised us to cease enrollment of any new members from that customer immediately. The customer also informed us that the notification was related to the customer’s change in strategy and not reflective of the performance or value of the Company’s services.
Regulatory Matters
The healthcare industry is highly regulated and continues to undergo significant changes. Healthcare companies are subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local laws, regulations and judicial decisions.

Human Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2023, we had a total of 104 employees, which included 102 full-time, two part-time employees, and represented a 13% year-over-year decrease in our total employee headcount, reflecting the reduction in workforce discussed above. A majority of our employee base is comprised of care coaches, member engagement specialists and other staff directly involved in member care, as well as research and development, engineering and administrative team members.
5



We expect our headcount to continue to fluctuate for the foreseeable future as we continue to focus on building operational efficiencies and make strategic investments to support the growth of our business.
In addition, as of December 31, 2023, we had a total of approximately 12 independent contractors who provide us various consulting services, including recruiting, marketing and other professional services, that are important to the operation of our business.

Risk Factors
Risks related to our business

We expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses.

We have been unprofitable since our inception in 2003. Historically, we have seen and continue to see net losses, net loss from operations and negative cash flow from operating activities, except for positive cash flow from operating activities in our second quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, as we experienced a period of rapid growth, and more recently our results have been negatively impacted by customer terminations. At December 31, 2023, our total cash was $9.7 million and we had working capital of approximately $8.8 million. We had an average monthly cash burn rate from operations of approximately $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and could continue to incur negative cash flows and operating losses for the next twelve months.

We will need additional funding, and we cannot guarantee that we will find adequate sources of capital in the future.

We have incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception and have expended, and expect to continue to expend, substantial funds to support and grow our business. We will require additional funds before we are able to generate enough cash flows to fund our operations and meet our obligations. Additionally, if we add more health plans than we anticipate, increase the size of the outreach pool by more than we anticipate, decide to invest in new products or seek out additional growth opportunities, or in order to provide liquidity for an extended period of losses, we would consider raising additional capital.
7




We do not know whether additional funding will be available to us when needed on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may need to downsize, curtail program development efforts or halt our operations altogether. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us when needed on acceptable terms or at all.

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, such financing will result in further dilution to our stockholders. Any equity securities issued also may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, such securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock, and the terms of the debt securities issued could impose significant restrictions on our operations.

We have $3.5 million in principal amount of secured debt outstanding under the Keep Well Agreement, and a default thereunder would have material adverse consequences to our financial condition, operating results, and business.

We entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement with Acuitas Capital LLC (“Acuitas Capital” and together with its affiliates, including Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC and Terren S. Peizer, “Acuitas”), dated as of April 15, 2022 (as amended to date, the “Keep Well Agreement”). Acuitas Capital is our largest stockholder and an entity indirectly wholly owned and controlled by Mr. Peizer, our former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. As of the filing date of this report, we have $3.5 million in principal amount of secured debt outstanding under the Keep Well Agreement evidenced by senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Keep Well Notes”), $1.5 million of which is payable upon demand of the lender. The Keep Well Agreement includes customary events of default for a first priority senior secured debt facility. In the event of default under the Keep Well Agreement, Acuitas and the collateral agent under the Keep Well Agreement would have the rights that a secured creditor with a first priority lien on a company’s assets would have, including, the right to collect, enforce or satisfy any secured obligations then owing, including by foreclosing on the collateral securing our obligations under the Keep Well Agreement (which generally comprise all of our assets), and restrictions on the operation of our business would spring into effect. A default under the Keep Well Agreement would have material adverse consequences to our financial condition, operating results, and business, and could cause us to become insolvent or enter bankruptcy proceedings, and our stockholders may lose all or a portion of their investment because of the priority of the claims of Acuitas, in its capacity as a secured creditor, on our assets.

See also “Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC owns approximately 61% of our outstanding common stock and beneficially owns approximately 93% of our outstanding common stock, and as a result of such ownership has the ability to substantially influence the election of directors and other matters submitted to stockholders” and “There can be no assurance that our common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq or, if listed, that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq, which could limit investors’ ability to transact in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions,” below. For additional information regarding the Keep Well Agreement, see the section titled, “Keep Well Agreement” in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

The amounts we borrow under the Keep Well Agreement bear interest at a variable rate which could cause our outstanding indebtedness to increase significantly.

The amounts we borrow under the Keep Well Agreement bear interest based on the 30 day tenor Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Reference Rate, which is subject to a monthly adjustment, plus a margin specified in the Keep Well Agreement. As a result, in an increasing interest rate environment, the interest rate on the amounts we borrow under the Keep Well Agreement is subject to increase, thereby resulting in increased interest expense. The 30 day tenor Term SOFR Reference Rate has steadily increased in the past year. At December 31, 2023, we had a total of $0.1 million of accrued paid-in-kind interest on amounts borrowed under the Keep Well Agreement, which was related to the three months ended December 31, 2023. The effective weighted average interest rate for the amounts borrowed under the Keep Well Agreement was 20.79% at December 31, 2023. Accrued interest on the principal amount of the Keep Well Notes is added to principal, which either we will be required to repay, with respect to $1.5 million of principal, upon demand of the lender, and with respect to the balance on the maturity date, May 14, 2026, or, if converted into shares of our common stock, will result in additional dilution to our stockholders. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for more information.

We may fail to successfully manage and grow our business, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and business.

Continued expansion could put significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. The need to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC will continue to place significant demands on our financial and accounting staff, financial, accounting and information systems, and our internal controls and procedures, any of which may not be adequate to support our anticipated growth. The need to comply with the state and federal healthcare, security and privacy regulation will continue to place significant demands on our staff and our policies and procedures, any of which may not be adequate to support our anticipated growth. We may not be able to effectively hire, train, retain, motivate and manage required personnel. Our failure to manage growth effectively could limit our ability to satisfy our reporting obligations, or achieve our marketing, commercialization and financial goals.

We may be unable to successfully execute on our growth initiatives, business strategies or operating plans.

We are continually executing a number of growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans designed to enhance our business. The anticipated benefits from these efforts are based on several assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate. Moreover, we may not be able to successfully complete these growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans or realize all of the benefits, including growth targets and cost savings, that we expect to achieve or it may be more costly to do so than we anticipate. A variety of risks could cause us not to realize some or all of the expected benefits. These risks include, among others, delays in the anticipated timing of activities related to such growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans, increased difficulty and cost in implementing these efforts, including difficulties in complying with new regulatory requirements and the incurrence of other unexpected costs associated with operating our business, failure of our products to receive sufficient market acceptance and a highly competitive, rapidly evolving marketplace. Moreover, our continued implementation of our Ontrak programs may disrupt our operations and performance. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will realize the expected benefits of our growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans. If, for any reason, the benefits we realize are less than our estimates or the implementation of our growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans adversely affect our operations or cost more or take longer to effectuate than we expect, or if our assumptions prove inaccurate, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Failure to effectively develop and expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to execute our business plan, increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our program.

Our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our Ontrak program will depend to a significant extent on our ability to deploy our sales and marketing resources efficiently and our ability to drive our current sales pipeline to secure new customers and to cultivate customer and partner relationships to drive revenue growth in the next twelve months. We are focused on identifying and developing new customer opportunities and these efforts require us to invest significant financial and other resources. Our business and operating results will be harmed if our sales and marketing efforts do not generate significant increases in revenue in the next twelve months.

Our programs may not be as effective as we believe them to be, which could limit our potential revenue growth.

Our belief in the efficacy of our Ontrak programs is based on a limited experience with a relatively small number of members in comparison to the total addressable members. Such results may not be indicative of the long-term future performance of treatment with our programs. If the initial results cannot be successfully replicated or maintained over time, utilization of our programs could decline substantially. There are no standardized methods for measuring efficacy of programs such as ours. Even if we believe our programs are effective, our customers could determine they are not effective by utilizing different outcome measures. In addition, even if our customers determine our programs are effective, they may discontinue them because they determine that the aggregate cost savings are not sufficient, our programs do not have a high enough return on investment, they prefer other competitive or strategic programs or do not believe our programs deliver other desired benefits such as clinical outcomes. Our success is dependent on our ability to enroll third-party payor members in our programs. Our outreach and enrollment efforts may not achieve the anticipated enrollment rates.

Our Ontrak programs may not become widely accepted, which could limit our growth.

Our ability to achieve further marketplace acceptance for our Ontrak programs is dependent on our ability to demonstrate financial and clinical outcomes from our agreements. If we are unable to secure sufficient contracts to achieve recognition or acceptance of our Ontrak programs or if our programs does not demonstrate the expected level of clinical improvement and cost savings, it is unlikely that we will be able to achieve widespread market acceptance.

Disappointing results for our programs or failure to attain our publicly disclosed milestones could adversely affect market acceptance and have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

Disappointing results, later-than-expected press release announcements or termination of evaluations, pilot programs or our solutions by particular customers could have a material adverse effect on the commercial acceptance of our solutions, our stock price and on our results of operations. In addition, announcements regarding results, or anticipation of results, may increase volatility in our stock price. In addition to numerous upcoming milestones, from time to time we provide financial guidance and other forecasts to the market. While we believe that the assumptions underlying projections and forecasts we make publicly available are reasonable, projections and forecasts are inherently subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Any failure to achieve milestones, or to do so in a timely manner, or to achieve publicly announced guidance and forecasts, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the price of our common stock.

Our industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete successfully.

The healthcare business in general, and the behavioral health treatment business in particular, are highly competitive and rapidly evolving. While we believe our programs are unique in many aspects and that our ability to offer customers a comprehensive and integrated behavioral health solution, including the utilization of our analytical models and innovative member engagement methodologies, will help us compete effectively, we operate in highly competitive markets. We compete with other healthcare management service organizations, care management and disease management companies, including Managed Behavioral Healthcare Organizations (MBHOs), other specialty healthcare and managed care companies, and healthcare technology companies that are offering treatment and support of behavioral health on-line and on mobile devices. Most of our competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than us. Our competitors may develop and introduce new processes and products that are equal or superior to our programs in treating behavioral health conditions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully, that we will have financial resources to continue to improve our offerings or that we will be successful improving them, any of which would limit our ability to maintain or increase our business share.

A substantial percentage of our revenues are attributable to a few large customers, any or all of which may terminate our services at any time.

Approximately 96% and approximately 98% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were attributable to three and four customers, respectively. Also, three customers represented 95% of our total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022. We had no accounts receivable outstanding as of December 31, 2023.

We expect that revenues from a limited number of customers will continue for the foreseeable future. Sales to these customers are made pursuant to agreements with flexible termination provisions, generally entitling the customer to terminate with or without cause on limited notice to us, and which have adversely affected our business and financial condition and results. For example, in February 2021 and August 2021 we received notices from each of our then largest customers of their intent not to continue our program, and in October 2023, we received a notice from a large customer of its intent not to continue using our services after February 2024. We may not be able to keep our key customers, or these customers may decrease their enrollment levels. Any substantial decrease or delay in revenues relating to one or more of our key customers would harm our business and financial condition and results. If revenues relating to current key customers cease or are reduced, we may not obtain sufficient enrollments from other customers necessary to offset any such losses or reductions.

We depend on key personnel, the loss of which could impact the ability to manage our business.

We are highly dependent on our senior management and key operating and technical personnel. These individuals are at-will employees and they may terminate employment with us at any time with no advance notice. The loss of the services of any member of our senior management or of our key operating and technical personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

In addition, from time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. The replacement of one or more of our executive officers or other key employees would likely involve significant time and costs and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.

To continue to execute our growth strategy, we must attract and retain highly skilled personnel. Competition is intense for qualified professionals. We may not be successful in continuing to attract and retain qualified personnel. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled personnel with appropriate qualifications.
10



The pool of qualified personnel with experience working in the healthcare market is limited overall. In addition, many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. The inability to attract and retain sufficient highly skilled personnel could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

In addition, in making employment decisions, particularly in high-technology industries, job candidates often consider the value of the stock options or other equity instruments they are to receive in connection with their employment. Volatility in the price of our stock may adversely affect our ability to attract or retain highly skilled personnel. Further, the requirement to expense stock options and other equity instruments may discourage us from granting the size or type of stock option or equity awards that job candidates require to join our company.

We are dependent on our ability to recruit, retain and develop a very large and diverse workforce. We must transform our culture in order to successfully grow our business.

Our products and services and our operations require a large number of employees. A significant number of employees have joined us in recent years as we continue to grow and expand our business. Our success is dependent on our ability to transform our culture, align our talent with our business needs, engage our employees and inspire our employees to be open to change, to innovate and to maintain member- and client-focus when delivering our services. Our business would be adversely affected if we fail to adequately plan for succession of our executives and senior management; or if we fail to effectively recruit, integrate, retain and develop key talent and/or align our talent with our business needs, in light of the current rapidly changing environment. While we have succession plans in place and we have employment arrangements with a limited number of key executives, these do not guarantee that the services of these or suitable successor executives will continue to be available to us.

Our business and growth strategy depend on our ability to maintain and expand a network of qualified healthcare providers. If we are unable to do so, our future growth and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be negatively impacted.

The success of our business is dependent upon our continued ability to maintain a network of qualified healthcare providers. In any particular market that we operate in, providers could demand higher payments or take other actions that could result in higher medical costs, less attractive service for our members or difficulty meeting regulatory or accreditation requirements. The failure to maintain or to secure new cost-effective provider contracts may result in a loss of or inability to grow our member base, higher costs, healthcare provider network disruptions, and less attractive service for our members, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, growth strategy, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to ongoing litigation and may be subject to future litigation, any of which could result in substantial liabilities.

All significant medical treatments and procedures, including treatment utilizing our programs, involve the risk of serious injury or death. While we have not been the subject of any such claims, our business entails an inherent risk of claims for personal injuries and substantial damage awards. We cannot control whether individual physicians and therapists will apply the appropriate standard of care in determining how to treat their patients. While our agreements typically require physicians to indemnify us for their negligence, there can be no assurance they will be willing and financially able to do so if claims are made. In addition, our license agreements require us to indemnify physicians, hospitals or their affiliates for losses resulting from our negligence.

We are also subject to ongoing securities class action and stockholder derivative litigation. See Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Part II, Item 8, included in this report. In addition, on March 1, 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) announced charges and the SEC filed a civil complaint against Mr. Peizer, our former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors, alleging unlawful insider trading in our stock. Mr. Peizer owns and controls Acuitas Capital, our largest stockholder. See “Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC owns approximately 61% of our outstanding common stock and beneficially owns approximately 93% of our outstanding common stock, and as a result of such ownership has the ability to substantially influence the election of directors and other matters submitted to stockholders.” Neither we nor any of our other current or former directors or employees were charged by the DOJ or sued by the SEC. On November 15, 2022, we received a notification from the SEC’s Division of Enforcement that it is conducting an investigation captioned "In the Matter of Trading in the Securities of Ontrak, Inc. (HO-14340)" and issued a preservation letter as well as a subpoena for documents relating to the investigation. The notification indicates the investigation is a fact-finding inquiry for compliance with federal securities laws and should not be construed as an indication by the SEC that any violation of law has occurred, nor as a reflection upon any person, entity or security. We have been cooperating fully with the terms of the subpoena. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the DOJ or SEC proceedings, nor can we predict whether the DOJ or SEC or any other governmental authorities will initiate separate investigations or litigation, including against us.
11



Investigations and any related legal and administrative proceedings could include a wide variety of outcomes, including the institution of administrative, civil injunctive or criminal proceedings involving the Company and/or its current or former executives and/or directors, the imposition of fines and other penalties, remedies and/or sanctions.

In addition, from time to time, we may also be involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with partners, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters.

We currently have insurance coverage for personal injury claims, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage, and errors and omissions insurance. We may not be able to maintain adequate liability insurance at acceptable costs or on favorable terms. We expect that liability insurance will be more difficult to obtain and that premiums will increase over time and as the volume of patients treated with our programs increases.

We have incurred and may continue to incur significant expenses as a result of litigation and other legal proceedings. In addition, the results of litigation and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and adverse judgments or settlements (regardless of a claim’s merit) in any legal disputes may result in materially adverse monetary damages or injunctive relief against us. Any claims, investigations or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could damage our reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or obtain adequate insurance in the future. In addition, claims, investigations or litigation may be time-consuming, costly, divert management resources, and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business and result of operations.

If third-party payors fail to provide coverage and adequate payment rates for our solutions, our revenue and prospects for profitability will be harmed.

Our future revenue growth will depend in part upon our ability to contract with health plans and other insurance payors for our Ontrak solutions. In addition, insurance payors are increasingly attempting to contain healthcare costs, and may not cover or provide adequate payment for our programs. Adequate insurance reimbursement might not be available to enable us to realize an appropriate return on investment in research and product development, and the lack of such reimbursement could have a material adverse effect on our operations and could adversely affect our revenues and earnings.

We may not be able to achieve promised savings for our Ontrak contracts, which could result in pricing levels insufficient to cover our costs or ensure profitability.

Many of our Ontrak contracts are based upon anticipated or guaranteed levels of savings for our customers and achieving other operational metrics resulting in incentive fees based on savings. If we are unable to meet or exceed promised savings, achieve agreed upon operational metrics, or favorably resolve contract billing and interpretation issues with our customers, we may be required to refund from the amount of fees paid to us any difference between savings that were guaranteed and the savings, if any, which were actually achieved; or we may fail to earn incentive fees based on savings. Accordingly, during or at the end of the contract terms, we may be required to refund some or all of the fees paid for our services. This exposes us to significant risk that contracts negotiated and entered into may ultimately be unprofitable. In addition, managed care operations are at risk for costs incurred to provide agreed upon services under our solution. Therefore, failure to anticipate or control costs could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income has been limited in certain cases and may be subject to certain limitations in the future.

Our federal net operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs") have an indefinite life. These NOLs may be used to offset future taxable income, to the extent we generate any taxable income, and thereby reduce or eliminate our future federal income taxes otherwise payable. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on a corporation's ability to utilize NOLs if it experiences an ownership change as defined in Section 382. In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year period. In the event that an ownership change has occurred, or were to occur, utilization of our NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 determined by multiplying the value of our stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years. We have experienced ownership changes in the past and can continue to experience ownership changes under Section 382 as a result of events in the past or the issuance of shares of common or preferred stock, or a combination thereof. As a result of such ownership changes, the use of our NOLs, or a portion thereof, against our future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382, which may result in expiration of a portion of our NOLs before utilization.

12




We may periodically consummate opportunistic acquisitions of other companies, and we may not realize expected benefits or such acquisitions or we may have difficulties integrating acquired companies into our operations in a cost-effective manner, if at all.

We may periodically consummate opportunistic acquisitions of businesses, assets, personnel or technologies that allow us to complement our existing operations, expand our market coverage, enter new geographic markets, or add new business capabilities. We continually evaluate and explore strategic opportunities as they arise, including business combination transactions, strategic partnerships, and the purchase or sale of assets. No assurance can be given that the benefits or synergies we may expect from an acquisition will be realized to the extent or in the time frame we anticipate. We may lose key employees, customers, vendors and other business partners of a company we acquire after announcement of acquisition plans. In addition, an acquisition may involve a number of risks and difficulties, including expansion into new geographic markets and business areas in which our management has limited prior experience, the diversion of management’s attention to the operations and personnel of the acquired company, the integration of the acquired company’s personnel, operations and technology systems and applications, changing relationships with customers, vendors or strategic partners, differing regulatory requirements including in new geographic markets and new business areas, and potential short-term adverse effects on our operating results. These challenges can be magnified as the size of the acquisition increases. Any delays or unexpected costs incurred in connection with the integration of an acquired company or otherwise related to an acquisition could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

An acquisition may require significant expenses and can result in increased debt or other contingent liabilities, adverse tax consequences, deferred compensation charges, the recording and later amortization of amounts related to deferred compensation and certain purchased intangible assets, and the refinement or revision of fair value acquisition estimates following the completion of an acquisition, any of which items could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may record goodwill in connection with an acquisition and incur goodwill impairment charges in the future. Any of these charges could cause the price of our common stock to decline. An acquisition also could absorb substantial cash resources, require us to incur or assume debt obligations, or involve our issuance of additional equity securities. If we issue equity securities in connection with an acquisition, we may dilute our common stock with securities that have an equal or a senior interest in our company. An acquired entity also may be leveraged or dilutive to our earnings per share, or may have unknown liabilities. In addition, the combined entity may have lower than expected revenues or higher expenses and therefore may not achieve the anticipated results. Any of these factors relating to an acquisition could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Claims asserted against us for violation of securities laws, whether or not such claims have any merit, are costly to defend and could result in significant liabilities and diversion of our management’s time and attention and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and results of operations.

We offered and sold shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in offerings registered under the Securities Act. In February 2022, a purported securities class action was filed in the Superior Court of California for Los Angeles County, entitled Braun v. Ontrak, Inc., et al., Case No. 22STCV07174, on behalf of a putative class of all purchasers of our Series A Preferred Stock in such offerings. The action was brought against us, our officers and directors, and the investment banking firms that acted as underwriters for the offerings. The plaintiff asserted causes of actions alleging that we violated the federal securities laws in connection with the offerings based upon allegations that statements made regarding the growth of our customer base and expansion of our program with health plan customers were false or misleading. We believe that the allegations of falsity lack merit and that we have meritorious defenses, and we intend to defend against the action vigorously.

In addition, one beneficial owner of our Series A Preferred Stock, through its legal counsel, has asserted that it believes it has claims against us based upon (a) statements in the prospectuses related to the offering of our Series A Preferred Stock regarding the segregated account that was funded with a portion of the proceeds received from such offerings to pre-fund dividend payments on our Series A Preferred Stock in light of the action of our board of directors in April 2023 to make such funds available for general corporate purposes after considering its fiduciary duties to our common stockholders and other relevant factors, (b) our alleged failures to accommodate the nominees of such beneficial owner for election by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting, and (c) our alleged failure to provide notice to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the delisting of such stock by Nasdaq on October 20, 2023. To date, such beneficial owner has not specified damages or remedies it would seek if it were to assert any such claims formally. Others with interests in the Series A Preferred Stock may assert similar claims. We believe that such claims are and would be without merit and subject to meritorious defenses. However, any claim alleging any violation of securities laws or of the Certificate of Designations establishing the Series A Preferred Stock, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation, significant liabilities and diversion of our management’s time and attention and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and results of operations.
13



The results of litigation and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and adverse judgments or settlements (regardless of a claim’s merit) in any legal dispute may result in materially adverse monetary damages or injunctive relief against us.

An extended curtailment or halt of operations at the SEC and other government agencies, including due to a U.S. federal government shutdown, could delay or disrupt clinical and preclinical development and potential marketing approval of our product candidates and our ability to raise additional capital.

Twice in the past decade, the previous appropriations legislation deadline was reached and Congress failed to pass a new appropriations bill or continuing resolution to temporarily extend funding, resulting in U.S. government shutdowns that caused federal agencies to halt non-essential operations. Political polarization among lawmakers may lead to a higher frequency and longer duration of government shutdowns in the future. The federal government came very close to another shutdown in late 2023. A federal government shutdown could prevent staff at federal agencies from performing key functions that may adversely affect our business. For example, a government shutdown could prevent SEC staff from performing key functions, including, for example, granting acceleration requests for registration statements, declaring registration statements or amendments thereto effective and providing interpretive guidance or no-action letters. If a federal government shutdown halts non-essential SEC operations for an extended period, it may negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital through registered offerings of our securities in the future. If a prolonged U.S. government shutdown or other event or condition occurs that prevents government and other regulatory agencies from hiring and retaining personnel and conducting their regular activities, it could significantly impact the ability of these agencies to timely review and process our regulatory submissions and may impede our access to additional capital needed to maintain or expand our operations or to complete important acquisitions or other transactions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risks related to our intellectual property

Confidentiality agreements with employees, treating physicians and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.

In order to protect our proprietary technology and processes, we rely in part on confidentiality provisions in our agreements with employees, treating physicians, and others. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

We may be subject to claims that we infringe the intellectual property rights of others, and unfavorable outcomes could harm our business.

Our future operations may be subject to claims, and potential litigation, arising from our alleged infringement of patents, trade secrets, trademarks or copyrights owned by other third parties. Within the healthcare, drug and bio-technology industry, many companies actively pursue infringement claims and litigation, which makes the entry of competitive products more difficult. We may experience claims or litigation initiated by existing, better-funded competitors and by other third parties. Court-ordered injunctions may prevent us from continuing to market existing products or from bringing new products to market and the outcome of litigation and any resulting loss of revenues and expenses of litigation may substantially affect our ability to meet our expenses and continue operations.

Risks related to our healthcare industry

Recent changes in insurance and health care laws have created uncertainty in the health care industry.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, each enacted in March 2010, generally known as the Health Care Reform Law, significantly expanded health insurance coverage to uninsured Americans and changed the way health care is financed by both governmental and private payors. Following the 2016 federal elections, which resulted in the election of the Republican presidential nominee and Republican majorities in both houses of Congress, there were renewed legislative efforts to significantly modify or repeal the Health Care Reform Law and certain executive policy changes designed to modify its impact, including the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 which repealed the penalties under the Health Care Reform Law for uninsured persons. In light of the Supreme Court ruling in California et al. v. Texas et al. in June 2021 generally supporting the Health Care Reform Law, we cannot predict what further reform proposals, if any, will be adopted, when they may be adopted, or what impact they may have on our business.
14



There may also be other risks and uncertainties associated with the Health Care Reform Law. If we fail to comply or are unable to effectively manage such risks and uncertainties, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures may be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments will pay for healthcare therapies, which could result in reduced demand for our services or additional pricing pressures. In August 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”), which, among other provisions, included several measures intended to lower the cost of prescription drugs and related healthcare reforms. The IRA permits the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to implement many of these provisions through guidance, as opposed to regulation, for the initial years. We cannot be sure whether additional legislation or rulemaking related to the IRA will be issued or enacted, or what impact, if any, such changes will have on our business.

Our policies and procedures may not fully comply with complex and increasing regulation by state and federal authorities, which could negatively impact our business operations.

The healthcare industry is highly regulated and continues to undergo significant changes as third-party payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid, traditional indemnity insurers, managed care organizations and other private payors, increase efforts to control cost, utilization and delivery of healthcare services. Healthcare companies are subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local laws, regulations and judicial decisions. Our failure or the failure of our treating physicians, to comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations may result in the imposition of civil or criminal sanctions that we cannot afford, or require redesign or withdrawal of our programs from the market.

We may become subject to medical liability claims, which could cause us to incur significant expenses and may require us to pay significant damages if not covered by insurance.

Our business entails the risk of medical liability claims against both our providers and us. Although we carry insurance covering medical malpractice claims in amounts that we believe are appropriate in light of the risks attendant to our business, successful medical liability claims could result in substantial damage awards that exceed the limits of our insurance coverage. We carry professional liability insurance for ourselves, and we separately carry a general insurance policy, which covers medical malpractice claims. In addition, professional liability insurance is expensive and insurance premiums may increase significantly in the future, particularly as we expand our services. As a result, adequate professional liability insurance may not be available to us in the future at acceptable costs or at all.

Any claims made against us that are not fully covered by insurance could be costly to defend against, result in substantial damage awards against us and divert the attention of our management and our providers from our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any claims may adversely affect our business or reputation.

Our business practices may be found to constitute illegal fee-splitting or corporate practice of medicine, which may lead to penalties and adversely affect our business.

Many states have laws that prohibit business corporations, such as us, from practicing medicine, exercising control over medical judgments or decisions of physicians or other health care professionals (such as nurses or nurse practitioners), or engaging in certain business arrangements with physicians or other health care professionals, such as employment of physicians and other health care professionals or fee-splitting. The state laws and regulations and administrative and judicial decisions that enumerate the specific corporate practice and fee-splitting rules vary considerably from state to state and are enforced by both the courts and government agencies, each with broad discretion. Courts, government agencies or other parties, including physicians, may assert that we are engaged in the unlawful corporate practice of medicine, fee-splitting, or payment for referrals by providing administrative and other services in connection with our treatment programs. As a result of such allegations, we could be subject to civil and criminal penalties, our contracts could be found invalid and unenforceable, in whole or in part, or we could be required to restructure our contractual arrangements. If so, we may be unable to restructure our contractual arrangements on favorable terms, which would adversely affect our business and operations.






15



Our business practices may be found to violate anti-kickback, physician self-referral or false claims laws, which may lead to penalties and adversely affect our business.

The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal and state regulation with respect to kickbacks, physician self-referral arrangements, false claims and other fraud and abuse issues.

The federal anti-kickback law (the “Anti-Kickback Law”) prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting, receiving, or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, arranging for, or recommending of an item or service that is reimbursable, in whole or in part, by a federal health care program. “Remuneration” is broadly defined to include anything of value, such as, for example, cash payments, gifts or gift certificates, discounts, or the furnishing of services, supplies, or equipment. The Anti-Kickback Law is broad, and it prohibits many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses outside of the health care industry.

Recognizing the breadth of the Anti-Kickback Law and the fact that it may technically prohibit many innocuous or beneficial arrangements within the health care industry, the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) has issued a series of regulations, known as the “safe harbors.” Compliance with all requirements of a safe harbor immunizes the parties to the business arrangement from prosecution under the Anti-Kickback Law. The failure of a business arrangement to fit within a safe harbor does not necessarily mean that the arrangement is illegal or that the OIG will pursue prosecution. Still, in the absence of an applicable safe harbor, a violation of the Anti-Kickback Law may occur even if only one purpose of an arrangement is to induce referrals. The penalties for violating the Anti-Kickback Law can be severe. These sanctions include criminal and civil penalties, imprisonment, and possible exclusion from the federal health care programs. Many states have adopted laws similar to the Anti-Kickback Law, and some apply to items and services reimbursable by any payor, including private insurers.

In addition, the federal ban on physician self-referrals, commonly known as the Stark Law, prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, physician referrals of Medicare patients to an entity providing certain “designated health services” if the physician or an immediate family member of the physician has any financial relationship with the entity. A “financial relationship” is created by an investment interest or a compensation arrangement. Penalties for violating the Stark Law include the return of funds received for all prohibited referrals, fines, civil monetary penalties, and possible exclusion from the federal health care programs. In addition to the Stark Law, many states have their own self-referral bans, which may extend to all self-referrals, regardless of the payor.

The federal False Claims Act imposes liability on any person or entity that, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment to the federal government. Under the False Claims Act, a person acts knowingly if he has actual knowledge of the information or acts in deliberate ignorance or in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the information. Specific intent to defraud is not required. Violations of other laws, such as the Anti-Kickback Law or the FDA prohibitions against promotion of off-label uses of drugs, can lead to liability under the federal False Claims Act. The qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act allow a private individual to bring an action on behalf of the federal government and to share in any amounts paid by the defendant to the government in connection with the action. The number of filings of qui tam actions has increased significantly in recent years. When an entity is determined to have violated the False Claims Act, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus civil penalties of between $5,500 and $11,000 for each false claim. Conduct that violates the False Claims Act may also lead to exclusion from the federal health care programs. Given the number of claims likely to be at issue, potential damages under the False Claims Act for even a single inappropriate billing arrangement could be significant. In addition, various states have enacted similar laws modeled after the False Claims Act that apply to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state health care programs, and, in several states, such laws apply to claims submitted to all payors.

On May 20, 2009, the Federal Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009, or FERA, became law, and it significantly amended the federal False Claims Act. Among other things, FERA eliminated the requirement that a claim must be presented to the federal government. As a result, False Claims Act liability extends to any false or fraudulent claim for government money, regardless of whether the claim is submitted to the government directly, or whether the government has physical custody of the money. FERA also specifically imposed False Claims Act liability if an entity “knowingly and improperly avoids or decreases an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the Government.” As a result, the knowing and improper failure to return an overpayment can serve as the basis for a False Claims Act action. In March 2010, Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, collectively the ACA, which also made sweeping changes to the federal False Claims Act. The ACA also established that Medicare and Medicaid overpayments must be reported and returned within 60 days of identification or when any corresponding cost report is due.

Finally, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations created the crimes of health care fraud and false statements relating to health care matters. The health care fraud statute prohibits knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program, including a private insurer. The false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing, or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items, or services. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment, or exclusion from the federal health care programs.

Federal or state authorities may claim that our fee arrangements, our agreements and relationships with contractors, hospitals and physicians, or other activities violate fraud and abuse laws and regulations. If our business practices are found to violate any of these laws or regulations, we may be unable to continue with our relationships or implement our business plans, which would have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Further, defending our business practices could be time consuming and expensive, and an adverse finding could result in substantial penalties or require us to restructure our operations, which we may not be able to do successfully.

Our business practices may be subject to state regulatory and licensure requirements.

Our business practices may be regulated by state regulatory agencies that generally have discretion to issue regulations and interpret and enforce laws and rules. These regulations can vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and the interpretation of existing laws and rules also may change periodically. Some of our business and related activities may be subject to state health care-related regulations and requirements, including managed health care, utilization review (UR) or third-party administrator-related regulations and licensure requirements. These regulations differ from state to state, and may contain network, contracting, and financial and reporting requirements, as well as specific standards for delivery of services, payment of claims, and adequacy of health care professional networks. If a determination is made that we have failed to comply with any applicable state laws or regulations, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

If our providers or experts are characterized as employees, we would be subject to employment and withholding liabilities.

We structure our relationships with our providers and experts in a manner that we believe results in an independent contractor relationship, not an employee relationship. An independent contractor is generally distinguished from an employee by his or her degree of autonomy and independence in providing services. A high degree of autonomy and independence is generally indicative of a contractor relationship, while a high degree of control is generally indicative of an employment relationship. On October 13, 2022, the Department of Labor published its “Employee or Independent Contractor Classification under the Fair Labor Standards Act” (the “FLSA Standards”) that would rescind existing guidance adopted under the Trump Administration and broaden the scope of the so-called “economic realities test” used to classify workers, likely making it more difficult for workers to be classified as independent contractors. Although we believe that our providers and experts are properly characterized as independent contractors, tax or other regulatory authorities may in the future challenge our characterization of these relationships particularly if the new FLSA Standards are adopted. If such regulatory authorities or state, federal or foreign courts were to determine that our providers or experts are employees, and not independent contractors, we would be required to withhold income taxes, to withhold and pay social security, Medicare and similar taxes and to pay unemployment and other related payroll taxes. We would also be liable for unpaid past taxes and subject to penalties. As a result, any determination that our providers or experts are our employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to healthcare anti-fraud initiatives, which may lead to penalties and adversely affect our business.

State and federal government agencies are devoting increased attention and resources to anti-fraud initiatives against healthcare providers and the entities and individuals with whom they do business, and such agencies may define fraud expansively to include our business practices, including the receipt of fees in connection with a healthcare business that is found to violate any of the complex regulations described above. While to our knowledge we have not been the subject of any anti-fraud investigations, if such a claim were made, defending our business practices could be time consuming and expensive and an adverse finding could result in substantial penalties or require us to restructure our operations, which we may not be able to do successfully.

Our use and disclosure of patient information is subject to privacy and security regulations, which may result in increased costs.

In providing administrative services to healthcare providers and operating our treatment programs, we may collect, use, disclose, maintain and transmit patient information in ways that will be subject to many of the numerous state, federal and international laws and regulations governing the collection, use, disclosure, storage, privacy and security of patient-identifiable health information, including the administrative simplification requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (HITECH).
17



The HIPAA Privacy Rule restricts the use and disclosure of certain patient information (“Protected Health Information” or “PHI”), and requires safeguarding that information. The HIPAA Security Rule and HITECH establish elaborate requirements for safeguarding PHI transmitted or stored electronically. HIPAA applies to covered entities, which may include healthcare facilities and also includes health plans that will contract for the use of our programs and our services. HIPAA and HITECH require covered entities to bind contractors that use or disclose protected health information (or “Business Associates”) to compliance with certain aspects of the HIPAA Privacy Rule and all of the HIPAA Security Rule. In addition to contractual liability, Business Associates are also directly subject to regulation by the federal government. Direct liability means that we are subject to audit, investigation and enforcement by federal authorities. HITECH imposes breach notification obligations requiring us to report breaches of “Unsecured Protected Health Information” or PHI that has not been encrypted or destroyed in accordance with federal standards. Business Associates must report such breaches so that their covered entity customers may in turn notify all affected patients, the federal government, and in some cases, local or national media outlets. We may be required to indemnify our covered entity customers for costs associated with breach notification and the mitigation of harm resulting from breaches that we cause. If we are providing management services that include electronic billing on behalf of a physician practice or facility that is a covered entity, we may be required to conduct those electronic transactions in accordance with the HIPAA regulations governing the form and format of those transactions. Services provided under our Ontrak solution not only require us to comply with HIPAA and HITECH but also Title 42 Part 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (“Part 2”). Part 2 is a federal, criminal law that severely restricts our ability to use and disclose drug and alcohol treatment information obtained from federally-supported treatment facilities. Our operations must be carefully structured to avoid liability under this law. Our Ontrak solution qualifies as a federally funded treatment facility which requires us to disclose information on members only in compliance with Title 42.

In addition to the federal privacy regulations, there are a number of state laws governing the privacy and security of health and personal information. The penalties for violation of these laws vary widely and the area is rapidly evolving.

In 2018, California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), which gives consumers significant rights over the use of their personal information, including the right to object to the “sale” of their personal information. In 2020, Californians voted to enact the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which amends the CCPA by expanding consumers' rights in their personal information and creating a new governmental agency to interpret and enforce the statute. Most provisions of the CPRA will become effective on January 1, 2023. While information covered by HIPAA is generally exempt from the applicability of the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, the rights of consumers under the CCPA may restrict our ability to use personal information in connection with our business operations. The CCPA also provides a private right of action for certain security breaches.

In 2019, New York passed a law known as the SHIELD Act, which expands data breach reporting obligations and requires companies to have robust data security programs in place. More recently, New York and other states, including Washington, have introduced significant privacy bills, and Congress is debating federal privacy legislation, which if passed, may restrict our business operations and require us to incur additional costs for compliance.

In addition, several foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the E.U., Brazil and Canada, have laws and regulations concerning the collection and use of personally identifiable information obtained from their residents, including identifiable health information, which are often more restrictive than those in the U.S. laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and security of personally identifiable information, including health information, identifying, or which may be used to identify, an individual, such as names, email addresses and, in some jurisdictions, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, device identifiers and other data. Although we currently conduct business only in the United States of America, these laws and regulations could become applicable to us in the event we expand our operations into other countries. These and other obligations may be modified and interpreted in different ways by courts, and new laws and regulations may be enacted in the future.

Within the EEA, the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") took full effect on May 25, 2018, superseding the 1995 European Union Data Protection Directive and becoming directly applicable across E.U. member states. The GDPR includes more stringent operational requirements for processors and controllers of personal data (including health information) established in and outside of the EEA, imposes significant penalties for non-compliance and has broader extra-territorial effect. As the GDPR is a regulation rather than a directive, it applies throughout the EEA, but permits member states to enact supplemental requirements if they so choose. Noncompliance with the GDPR can trigger fines of up to the greater of €20 million or 4% of global annual revenues. Further, a Data Protection Act substantially implementing the GDPR was enacted in the U.K., effective in May 2018. It remains unclear, however, how U.K. data protection laws or regulations will develop in the medium to longer term and how data transfers to and from the U.K. will be regulated in light of the U.K.'s withdrawal from the E.U. In addition, some countries are considering or have enacted legislation requiring local storage and processing of data that could increase the cost and complexity of delivering our services.
18




We believe that we have taken the steps required of us to comply with laws governing the privacy and security of personal information, including health information privacy and security laws and regulations, in all applicable jurisdictions, both state and federal. However, we may not be able to maintain compliance in all jurisdictions where we do business. In addition, to the extent we disclose such information to our third-party service providers in the course of our business, we may be indirectly liable for their misuse or other unauthorized disclosure of such personal information (including health information). Failure to maintain compliance, or changes in state or federal privacy and security laws could result in civil and/or criminal penalties and could have a material adverse effect on our business, including significant reputational damage associated with a breach. Under HITECH, we are subject to prosecution or administrative enforcement and increased civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance, including a four-tiered system of monetary penalties. We are also subject to enforcement by state attorneys general who were given authority to enforce HIPAA under HITECH, and who have authority to enforce state-specific data privacy and security laws. If regulations change, if we expand the territorial scope of our operations, or if it is determined that we are not in compliance with privacy regulations, we may be required to modify aspects of our program, which may adversely affect program results and our business or profitability.

Cybersecurity incidents, security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business, prevent us from accessing critical information or expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including legally protected patient health information, personally identifiable information about our employees, intellectual property, and proprietary business information. Our success depends in part on our ability to provide effective cybersecurity protection in connection with our digital technologies and services as well as our internal digital infrastructure.

We manage and maintain our applications and data utilizing an off-site co-location facility. These applications and data encompass a wide variety of business critical information including research and development information, commercial information and business and financial information.

The secure processing, storage, maintenance and transmission of this critical information is vital to our operations and business strategy, and we devote significant resources to protecting such information. Although we take measures to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to cyberattacks, viruses, breaches or interruptions due to employee error or malfeasance, breaches or interruptions due to the malfeasance or negligence of any of our third-party service providers, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, fire, flood, other natural disasters, power loss, computer systems failure, data network failure, Internet failure or lapses in compliance with privacy and security mandates. We may be subject to distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks by hackers aimed at disrupting service to patients and customers. Our response to such DDOS attacks may be insufficient to protect our network and systems. In addition, there has been a continuing increase in the number of malicious software attacks in a wide variety of different industries, including malware, ransomware, and email phishing scams. Any successful cybersecurity incident or attack or breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed by unauthorized parties, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. We have measures in place that are designed to detect and respond to such incidents and breaches. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that the protocols and systems we have designed to prevent or limit the effects of cybersecurity incidents or attacks, including our backup systems, regular data backups, security protocols, network protection mechanisms and other procedures currently in place, or that may be in place in the future, will be adequate to prevent or remedy network and service interruption, system failure, damage to one or more of our systems, data loss, security breaches or other cyberattack and data security incidents. We might be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against or address security breaches or other cyberattack and data security incident. Any access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information (such as HIPAA and state data security laws), government enforcement actions and regulatory penalties. We may also be required to indemnify our customers for costs associated with having their data on our system breached. Unauthorized access, loss or dissemination could also interrupt our operations, including our ability to provide treatment, bill our customers, provide customer support services, conduct research and development activities, process and prepare company financial information, manage various general and administrative aspects of our business and damage our reputation, or we may lose one or more of our customers, especially if they felt their data may be breached, any of which could adversely affect our business.

Also, even if we successfully defend our own digital technologies and services, we also rely on providers of third-party products, services, and networks, with whom we may share data and services, and who may be unable to effectively defend their digital technologies and services against cyberattack.
19




We have experienced and will continue to experience varying degrees of cybersecurity incidents in the normal conduct of our business, including attacks resulting from social engineering such as phishing. These risks could harm our reputation and our relationships with our customers, our third party partners and our employees and may result in claims against us.

Certain of our professional healthcare employees, such as nurses, must comply with individual licensing requirements.

All of our healthcare professionals who are subject to licensing requirements, such as our care coaches, are licensed in the state in which they provide professional services in person. While we believe our nurses provide coaching and not professional services, one or more states may require our healthcare professionals to obtain licensure if providing services telephonically across state lines to the state’s residents. Healthcare professionals who fail to comply with these licensure requirements could face fines or other penalties for practicing without a license, and we could be required to pay those fines on behalf of our healthcare professionals. If we are required to obtain licenses for our nurses in states where they provide telephonic coaching, it would significantly increase the cost of providing our product. In addition, new and evolving agency interpretations, federal or state legislation or regulations, or judicial decisions could lead to the implementation of out-of-state licensure requirements in additional states, and such changes would increase the cost of services and could have a material effect on our business.

Risks related to our preferred stock

Our Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities.

In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, our assets will be available to pay obligations on the Series A Preferred Stock only after all of our indebtedness and other liabilities have been paid. The rights of holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to participate in the distribution of our assets will rank junior to the prior claims of our current and future creditors and any future series or class of preferred stock we may issue that ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. Also, the Series A Preferred Stock effectively ranks junior to all existing and future indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our existing subsidiaries and any future subsidiaries. Our existing subsidiaries are, and future subsidiaries would be, separate legal entities and have no legal obligation to pay any amounts to us in respect of dividends due on the Series A Preferred Stock.

At December 31, 2023, our total liabilities was $5.6 million. If we are forced to liquidate our assets to pay our creditors, we may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
Our future debt instruments may restrict the authorization, payment or setting apart of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Also, future offerings of debt or senior equity securities may adversely affect the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock. If we decide to issue debt or senior equity securities in the future, it is possible that these securities will be governed by an indenture or other instruments containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of the Series A Preferred Stock and may result in dilution to owners of the Series A Preferred Stock. We and, indirectly, our stockholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will bear the risk of our future offerings, which may reduce the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock and will dilute the value of their holdings in us.

Our Series A Preferred Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, which could limit investors’ liquidity and ability to trade in our Series A Preferred Stock.

Our Series A Preferred Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets. The OTC Markets provides significantly less liquidity than a listing on the Nasdaq Stock Markets or other national securities exchange. Securities quoted on the OTC Markets are traded by a community of market makers that enter quotes and trade reports. This market is limited in comparison to the national stock exchanges and any prices quoted may not be a reliable indication of the value of our Series A Preferred Stock. Quotes for stocks included on the OTC Markets are not listed in the financial sections of newspapers as are those for the Nasdaq Stock Market or the NYSE. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTC Markets may be difficult to obtain.




20



Trading on the OTC Markets as opposed to a national securities exchange has resulted and may continue to result in a reduction in some or all of the following: (a) the liquidity of our Series A Preferred Stock; (b) the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock; (c) the number of market markers in our Series A Preferred Stock; (d) the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock; and (e) the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. Each of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the price of our Series A Preferred Stock.

The liquidity of the market for our Series A Preferred Stock also depends on a number of other factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and operating results, the number of holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, the market for similar securities and the interest of securities dealers in making a market in our Series A Preferred Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our Company will maintain the trading market in our Series A Preferred Stock, or how liquid that market will be. If an active market is not maintained, investors may have difficulty selling shares of our Series A Preferred Stock.

We may not be able to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock if we have insufficient cash or available ‘surplus’ as defined under Delaware law to make such dividend payments.

Our ability to pay cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock requires us to have either net profits or positive net assets (total assets less total liabilities) over our capital, and that we have sufficient working capital in order to be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business. Our ability to pay dividends may also be impaired if any of the risks described in this report were to occur. Also, payment of our dividends depends upon our financial condition and other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient cash or “surplus” to pay the cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock are payable every February 28, May 30, August 31, and November 30. Our board of directors is not required to declare a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock and did not declare a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock since February 2022. On April 19, 2023, approximately $4.5 million that the Company maintained in a segregated account to pre-fund quarterly dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock until August 2022 was made available for general corporate purposes and was classified as unrestricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Our board of directors deemed the foregoing to be in the best interests of the Company and its common stockholders in light of the Company’s current and anticipated financial condition and outlook, and after considering its fiduciary duties to the Company’s common stockholders and other relevant factors.

Future issuances of preferred stock may reduce the value of the Series A Preferred Stock.

We may sell additional shares of preferred stock on terms that may differ from the Series A Preferred Stock. Such shares could rank on parity with or, subject to the voting rights referred to above (with respect to issuances of new series of preferred stock), senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. The subsequent issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or the creation and subsequent issuance of additional classes of preferred stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, could dilute the interests of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock offered hereby. Any issuance of preferred stock that is senior to the Series A Preferred Stock would not only dilute the interests of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, but also could affect our ability to pay distributions on, redeem or pay the liquidation preference on the Series A Preferred Stock.

Market interest rates may materially and adversely affect the value of the Series A Preferred Stock.

One of the factors that influences the price of the Series A Preferred Stock is the dividend yield on the Series A Preferred Stock (as a percentage of the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock) relative to market interest rates. Continued increase in market interest rates may lead prospective purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock to expect a higher dividend yield (and higher interest rates would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for dividend payments). Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock to materially decrease.

The special exchange right that the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to may make it more difficult for a party to acquire us or discourage a party from acquiring us.

The Series A Preferred Stock special exchange right may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us or of delaying, deferring or preventing certain of our change of control transactions under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-current market price of such equity securities or that stockholders may otherwise believe is in their best interests.

21



Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may be unable to use the dividends-received deduction and may not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income.”

Distributions paid to corporate U.S. holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction, and distributions paid to non-corporate U.S. holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may be subject to tax at the preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income,” if we have current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not currently have any accumulated earnings and profits. Additionally, we may not have sufficient current earnings and profits during future fiscal years for the distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock to qualify as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the distributions fail to qualify as dividends, U.S. holders would be unable to use the dividends-received deduction and may not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income.”

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may be subject to tax if we make or fail to make certain adjustments to the exchange rate of the Series A Preferred Stock even though you do not receive a corresponding cash dividend.

The exchange rate for the Series A Preferred Stock special exchange right is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. A failure to adjust (or to adjust adequately) such exchange rate after an event that increases your proportionate interest in us could be treated as a deemed taxable dividend to you. If you are a non-U.S. holder, any deemed dividend may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable treaty, which may be set off against subsequent payments on the Series A Preferred Stock. In April 2016, the Internal Revenue Service issued new proposed income tax regulations in regard to the taxability of changes in exchange rights that will apply to the Series A Preferred Stock when published in final form and may be applied to us before final publication in certain instances.

Our revenues, operating results and cash flows may fluctuate in future periods, and we may fail to meet investor expectations, which may cause the price of our Series A Preferred Stock to decline.

Variations in our quarterly and year-end operating results are difficult to predict, and our income and cash flows may fluctuate significantly from period to period. If our operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Series A Preferred Stock could decline substantially.

The Series A Preferred Stock represents perpetual equity interests in us, and it has no maturity or mandatory redemption date and are not redeemable at the option of investors under any circumstances. As a result, the Series A Preferred Stock will not give rise to a claim for payment of a principal amount at a particular date. As a result, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in the Series A Preferred Stock for an indefinite period of time.

The Series A Preferred Stock has not been rated.

We have not sought to obtain a rating for the Series A Preferred Stock. No assurance can be given that one or more rating agencies might not independently determine to issue such a rating or that such a rating, if issued, would not adversely affect the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock. Also, we may elect in the future to obtain a rating for the Series A Preferred Stock, which could adversely affect the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock. Ratings only reflect the views of the rating agency or agencies issuing the ratings and such ratings could be revised downward, placed on a watch list or withdrawn entirely at the discretion of the issuing rating agency if in its judgment circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision, placement on a watch list or withdrawal of a rating could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock.

The market price of the Series A Preferred Stock could be substantially affected by various factors.

The market price of the Series A Preferred Stock depends on many factors, which may change from time to time, including:

• prevailing interest rates, increases in which may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock;
• trading prices of similar securities;
• our history of timely dividend payments;
• the annual yield from dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock as compared to yields on other financial instruments;
• general economic and financial market conditions;
• government action or regulation;
22



• the financial condition, performance and prospects of us and our competitors;
• changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts with respect to us or our competitors in our industry;
• our issuance of additional preferred equity or debt securities; and
• actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results of us and our competitors.

As a result of these and other factors, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may experience a decrease, which could be substantial and rapid, in the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects.

A holder of Series A Preferred Stock has extremely limited voting rights.

The voting rights of a holder of Series A Preferred Stock are limited. Our shares of common stock are the only class of our securities that carry full voting rights. Other than the limited circumstances described in the Certificate of Designations establishing the Series A Preferred Stock and except to the extent required by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights. Voting rights for holders of the Series A Preferred Stock exist primarily with respect to voting on amendments to our certificate of incorporation, including the certificate of designations relating to the Series A Preferred Stock, that materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or authorize, increase or create additional classes or series of our capital stock that are senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, as of August 31, 2023, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, have the right, voting separately as a single class, to elect two individuals to our board of directors because, as of that date, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock had not been paid in an aggregate amount equal to the equivalent of at least six or more quarterly dividends. See “Risks related to our common stock—The holders of our Series A Preferred Stock have the right to elect two directors to our board of directors,” below.

Risks related to our common stock

Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC owns approximately 61% of our outstanding common stock and beneficially owns approximately 93% of our outstanding common stock, and as a result of such ownership has the ability to substantially influence the election of directors and other matters submitted to stockholders.

As of the filing date of this report, 29,064,175 shares of our outstanding common stock were owned by, and 236,067,779 shares of our common stock were beneficially owned by, Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC, an entity indirectly wholly owned and controlled by Mr. Peizer, which represents the ownership of approximately 61% of our outstanding common stock and the beneficial ownership of approximately 93% of our common stock. The foregoing number of shares beneficially owned by Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC and the corresponding percentage assumes the conversion of $3.5 million of the outstanding Keep Well Notes at a conversion price of $0.36 per share (with any accrued interest paid in cash) and includes 9,722,223 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants that would be issued upon conversion of the $3.5 million of the principal amount of the outstanding Keep Well Notes. As a result, Acuitas has and is expected to continue to have the ability to significantly influence the election of our Board of Directors and the outcome of all other matters submitted to our stockholders. Acuitas’ interest may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and Acuitas may act in a manner that advances its best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders. One consequence to this substantial influence or control is that it may be difficult for investors to remove our management. It could also deter unsolicited takeovers, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.

There can be no assurance that our common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq or, if listed, that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq, which could limit investors’ ability to transact in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “OTRK.” The Nasdaq Capital Market requires that listed companies satisfy continued listing standards to maintain their listing.

On October 13, 2023, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that we no longer meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) because the closing bid price for our common stock was less than $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The letter had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Under Nasdaq listing rules, we had a 180-calendar day period, or until April 10, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
23




On April 11, 2024, we received a letter from the Staff notifying us that we had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by April 10, 2024, and that we are not eligible for an additional 180-calendar day period within which to regain compliance because we do not meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The letter also states that, unless we request an appeal by April 18, 2024, our common stock will be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and will be suspended at the opening of business on April 22, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove our common stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Staff made its determination based upon our most recent public filings as of April 11, 2024. However, as disclosed in this report, our stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2023 and as of the date of the filing of this report is in excess of the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Accordingly, we believe we are eligible for an additional 180-calendar day period from April 10, 2024 within which to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. We would regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule if our common stock has a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the additional 180-calendar day period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend such 10-day period. We have notified Nasdaq that if necessary, we intend to cure the non-compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule during such additional 180-calendar day period by implementing a reverse stock split in sufficient time to evidence a closing bid price of our common stock of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to the expiration of such 180-day period. If the Staff does not grant us such additional 180-calendar day period, we intend to appeal the Staff’s determination to delist our common stock to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) on or before April 18, 2024. A hearing request stays the delisting and suspension of our common stock pending the decision of the Panel. At the hearing, we would intend to present our views concerning our eligibility for the additional 180-calendar day period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule and our plans for regaining compliance, which would include implementing a reverse stock split if necessary as described above.

There can be no assurance that we will be granted an additional 180-calendar day period within which to regain compliance, or, if such an extension period is granted, that we will be able to evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule before the extension period expires.

In addition to the specified criteria for continued listing, Nasdaq also has broad discretionary public interest authority that it can exercise to apply additional or more stringent criteria for continued listing on the Nasdaq. Nasdaq has exercised this discretionary authority in the past. As of the date of the filing of this report, Acuitas is our largest stockholder and the aggregate principal amount we borrowed under the Keep Well Agreement, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was approximately $3.7 million. Mr. Peizer owns and controls Acuitas and, on March 1, 2023, the DOJ announced charges and the SEC filed a civil complaint against Mr. Peizer alleging unlawful insider trading in our stock. Nasdaq has requested certain information from us related to the charges against Mr. Peizer. We responded to those requests. No assurances can be given that Nasdaq will not exercise its discretionary public interest authority to delist our common stock due to public interest concerns related to Acuitas’ ownership of our common stock or its relationship to us under the Keep Well Agreement.

In connection with (a) the public offering and the concurrent private placement that closed on November 14, 2023 and the securities issuable in connection with the conversion of the Keep Well Notes effected in the Notes Conversion and (b) the Sixth Amendment to the Keep Well Agreement described in Item 7 of Part II of this report, we submitted listing of additional shares applications to Nasdaq in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules. Current Staff practice is not to accept or reject listing of additional shares applications before the closing of a public or private offering. We believe that the issuances of securities in the public offering, in the concurrent private placement, in connection with the Notes Conversion and in connection with the Sixth Amendment to the Keep Well Agreement are all compliant with Nasdaq listing rules. However, Nasdaq could assert that as a result of one or more of these securities issuances, we are not in compliance with Nasdaq listing rules. For example, Nasdaq could assert that the exercise price reset and share adjustment provisions in the warrants sold in the public offering, in the concurrent private placement and/or under the Sixth Amendment to the Keep Well Agreement mandate a delisting determination unless such provisions are modified. Should that occur, we would need to obtain (1) with respect to the warrants sold in the public offering, the consent of the holders of warrants representing at least a majority of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants then outstanding and each investor in the public offering who purchased at least $1.75 million of securities at the closing of the offering, and (2) with respect to the warrant issued to Acuitas in the concurrent private placement and with respect to the securities issued under the Sixth Amendment to the Keep Well Agreement, the consent of Acuitas, for any modifications. The failure to obtain such consent(s) could result in the delisting of our common stock.

If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market.
24



If this were to occur, then we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: (a) less liquid trading market for our securities; (b) more limited market quotations for our securities; (c) determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” that requires brokers to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; (d) more limited research coverage by stock analysts; (e) loss of reputation; and (f) more difficult and more expensive equity financings in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” If our common stock remains listed on Nasdaq, our common stock will be covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. If our securities were no longer listed on Nasdaq and therefore not “covered securities,” we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

Certain of our warrants contain price protection in the form of anti-dilution provisions that could harm trading in our common stock and make it difficult for us to obtain additional financing.

The warrants we issued and sold in the public offering and the concurrent private placement that closed on November 14, 2023 have price-based anti-dilution provisions. Under these anti-dilution provisions, subject to certain limited exceptions, (a) the exercise price of these warrants will be reduced each time we issue or sell (or are deemed to issue or sell) any securities for a consideration per share less than a price equal to their exercise price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), (b) on May 14, 2026, the exercise price of these warrants will be reduced to the greater of (i) $0.1584 per share and (ii) the lesser of (x) the then exercise price and (y) the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock on any trading day during the five trading day period immediately before May 14, 2026, (c) if at any time prior to June 20, 2027, we grant, issue or sell (or enter into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any shares of common stock, non-convertible indebtedness and/or common stock equivalents to Acuitas that results in a reduction of the exercise price in accordance with the terms of these warrants, or we consummate (or enter into any agreement with respect to) any other financing with Acuitas and the exercise price of these warrants is greater than the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock on any trading day during the five trading day period immediately following the public announcement of such transaction with Acuitas, then the exercise price of these warrants will be reduced to the lowest volume weighted average price on any trading day during such five trading day period, and (d) if we issue, sell or enter into any agreement to issue or sell securities at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the shares of our common stock, the holders of these warrants will have the right to substitute such variable price for the exercise price of their then in effect. In addition, these anti-dilution provisions provide that if the exercise price of the warrants decrease, then the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise thereof will proportionally increase. See “Overview—Recent Developments—Warrant Adjustment Provisions” in Item 7 of Part II of this report for more information regarding these anti-dilution provisions. In addition, as described in “Overview—Recent Developments—Sixth Amendment to Existing Keep Well Agreement” in Item 7 of Part II of this report, subject to stockholder approval, we will issue additional warrants to Acuitas that contain these anti-dilution provisions.

To the extent we trigger, or enter into any agreement or issue any security that would trigger, the anti-dilution provisions of these warrants, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. For example, on March 28, 2024, in connection with entering into an amendment to the Keep Well Agreement to provide for the issuance of additional securities thereunder at a price less than the exercise price of these warrants, we obtained a waiver from each holder of these warrants, pursuant to which such holder agreed to specified adjustments to the exercise price of their respective warrant in lieu of the adjustments that would otherwise be made in accordance with the terms of their respective warrant. In accordance with such waivers, the per share exercise price of their respective warrant was reduced from $0.85 to $0.3442, subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms of such waiver and their respective warrant, and the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants (without giving effect to the exercise of any of these warrants that occurred between their initial issuance date and the time the per share exercise price was reduced to $0.3442) increased from 57,666,666 to 142,407,513. See “Overview—Recent Developments— Waivers by Holders of Outstanding Warrants” in Item 7 of Part II of this report for additional information regarding the waivers.

The overhang represented by these warrants, coupled with their anti-dilution provisions, may make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital, because of the possible substantial dilution to any new purchaser of our securities and the ability of holders of these warrants to enter into short sales of our stock. Any potential new purchaser of our securities may choose to value our common stock in such a manner that takes into account the number of shares of our common stock that would be outstanding immediately following the exercise of all these warrants.

25



We incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management devotes substantial time to compliance initiatives.

We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company, including costs resulting from public company reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and regulations regarding corporate governance practices. Nasdaq's listing requirements and SEC rules require that we satisfy certain corporate governance requirements relating to director independence, filing annual and interim reports, stockholder meetings, approvals and voting, soliciting proxies, conflicts of interest and a code of conduct. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to ensure that we comply with all of these requirements. Moreover, the reporting requirements, rules and regulations associated with being a public company result in significant legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. These reporting requirements, rules and regulations, coupled with the increase in potential litigation exposure associated with being a public company, could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or board committees or to serve as executive officers, or to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ insurance, on acceptable terms and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage.

Our stock price may be subject to substantial volatility, and the value of our stockholders' investment may decline.

The price at which our common stock trades fluctuates as a result of a number of factors, including the number of shares available for sale in the market, quarterly variations in our operating results and actual or anticipated announcements of our Ontrak solution, announcements regarding new or discontinued Ontrak solution contracts, new products or services by us or competitors, regulatory investigations or determinations, acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or our competitors, recruitment or departures of key personnel, the gain or loss of significant customers, changes in the estimates of our operating performance, actual or threatened litigation, market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole.

Numerous factors, including many over which we have no control, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock, including:

● announcements of new products or services by us or our competitors;
● current events affecting the political, economic and social situation in the United States;
● trends in our industry and the markets in which we operate;
● changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts;
● acquisitions and financings by us or our competitors;
● the gain or loss of a significant customer;
● quarterly variations in operating results;
● the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may consider to be comparable;
● purchases or sales of blocks of our securities; and
● issuances of stock.

We have used the market price of our common stock to establish future payment obligations to stockholders of acquisition targets in the past and may do so in the future; any decline in the market price regardless of whether due to our performance or external market dynamics would give rise to a payment obligation to such holders. Furthermore, stockholders may initiate additional securities class action lawsuits if the market price of our stock drops significantly, which may cause us to incur further substantial costs and continue to divert the time and attention of our management.

Future sales of common stock by existing stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could depress our stock price.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales by, or the perceived possibility of sales by, our existing stockholders. Most of our outstanding shares are eligible for public resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 29.1 million outstanding shares of our common stock were held by our affiliates and may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or in accordance with the volume and other limitations of Rule 144 or pursuant to other exempt transactions. Future sales of common stock by significant stockholders, including those who acquired their shares in private placements or who are affiliates, or the perception that such sales may occur, could depress the price of our common stock.




26



Future issuances of common stock and hedging activities may depress the trading price of our common stock.

Any future issuance of equity securities, including the issuance of shares upon direct registration, upon satisfaction of our obligations, compensation of vendors, exercise of outstanding warrants, or the conversion of the Keep Well Notes, could dilute the interests of our existing stockholders, and could substantially decrease the trading price of our common stock. As of the filing date of this report, we had outstanding (a) options to purchase 1,816,937 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.39 to $519.42 per share, (b) warrants to purchase 183,843,027 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.0001 to $9.105 per share, and (c) unvested RSUs covering 116,984 shares of our common stock. Also, assuming conversion of the $2.0 million in principal of the Surviving Note at a conversion price of $0.36 per share and $1.5 million in principal of the Initial Demand Note at a conversion price of $0.36 per share (with any accrued interest paid in cash in both cases), we would issue 5,555,556 and 4,166,667 shares of our common stock, respectively. In addition to the issuance of shares of our common stock upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding securities, we may issue equity securities in the future for a number of reasons, including to finance our operations and business strategy and in connection with acquisitions.

There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financing, which might include sales of equity or equity-linked securities. The issuance of any additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive common stock, and/or the exercise of such securities, could be substantially dilutive to holders of shares of our common stock. Holders of shares of our common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle them to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of shares of our common stock or the perception that such sales could occur. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of future offerings. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock and diluting their ownership interests.

We have historically relied in part on sales of our common stock to fund our operations, and our future ability to obtain additional capital through stock sales or other securities offerings may be more costly than in the past, or may not be available to us at all.

We have historically relied in part on sales of our common stock to fund our operations. For example, we raised an aggregate of approximately $15.1 million in gross proceeds in fiscal years 2021 and 2022 through the sale of shares of our common stock in offerings made under a Form S-3 “shelf” registration statement. Using a shelf registration statement to conduct an equity offering to raise capital generally takes less time and is less expensive than other means, such as conducting an offering under a Form S-1 registration statement. We are no longer eligible to use a shelf registration statement due to non-payment of dividends on our Series A preferred stock since December 31, 2022. As a result, the public offering of common stock, pre-funded warrants and warrants we closed in November 2023, raising an aggregate gross proceeds of $6.3 million, was completed under a Form S-1 registration statement.

We may choose to conduct additional offerings of our securities under an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or under a Form S-1 registration statement, but we would expect either of these alternatives to be a more expensive method of raising additional capital and more dilutive to our stockholders relative to using a shelf registration statement.

The holders of our Series A Preferred Stock have the right to elect two directors to our board of directors.

Under the terms of the certificate of designation establishing our Series A Preferred Stock, if dividends on our Series A Preferred have not been paid in an aggregate amount equal to the equivalent of at least six or more quarterly dividends (whether consecutive or not), the number of directors constituting our board of directors will be increased by two, and the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, will have the right, voting separately as a single class, to fill such newly created directorships (and to fill any vacancies in the terms of such directorships). Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock are payable every February 28, May 30, August 31, and November 30. We have not paid the dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock since February 2022 and the director election right described above commenced on August 31, 2023.





27




Failure to maintain effective internal controls could adversely affect our operating results and the market for our common stock.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we maintain internal control over financial reporting that meets applicable standards. As with many smaller companies with small staff, material weaknesses in our financial controls and procedures may be discovered. If we are unable, or are perceived as unable, to produce reliable financial reports due to internal control deficiencies, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information and operating results, which could result in a negative market reaction and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law could discourage a change in control, or an acquisition of us by a third party, even if the acquisition would be favorable to you.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions that may have the effect of making more difficult or delaying attempts by others to obtain control of our Company, even when these attempts may be in the best interests of stockholders. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock, which could have voting and conversion rights that adversely affect or dilute the voting power of the holders of common stock. Delaware law also imposes conditions on certain business combination transactions with “interested stockholders.” These provisions and others that could be adopted in the future could deter unsolicited takeovers or delay or prevent changes in our control or management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. These provisions may also limit the ability of stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.

We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We have paid no cash dividends on our common stock to date, and we intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the continued development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock. Further, any payment of cash dividends will also depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors, including contractual restrictions to which we may be subject, and will be at the discretion of our board of directors.

ITEM 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
Not Applicable.


ITEM 1C.    CYBERSECURITY

The Company maintains a cybersecurity and risk management program called the Information Security Management Program ("ISMP") designed to identify, assess, manage, mitigate and respond to cybersecurity threats and attacks. The ISMP is overseen by the Company's Chief Compliance and Privacy Officer, who oversees the Company's information technology security team as it relates to the ISMP and is responsible for assessing and managing the ISMP, informs senior management regarding the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents and supervises such efforts. The cybersecurity team has decades of experience selecting, deploying, and operating cybersecurity technologies, initiatives, and processes, and relies on threat intelligence as well as other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by the Company.

The ISMP is developed by the Company's information security team in collaboration with cross functional stakeholders, and is designed to ensure the organization's security posture and practices are in alignment with contractual, regulatory and industry requirements. Risk assessments against agreed criteria are conducted no less than annually, and sooner if there are significant changes in the environment. Security services are delivered through a combination of internal and third party resources. Formal periodic meetings are held with Company's executive leadership to review relevant components of the ISMP, formal annual reviews of the policies are conducted, formal reviews of the entire ISMP and risk register are conducted at least annually, and more frequently if there are significant changes to the environment. Also, an independent review of the ISMP is conducted in the following ways: (i) an annual HIPAA risk assessment conducted by a third party; and (ii) a HITRUST risk based two year assessment conducted by a third party.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors oversees the Company’s cybersecurity risk exposures and the steps taken by management to monitor and mitigate cybersecurity risks. The cybersecurity team briefs the Audit Committee on the effectiveness of the Company’s cybersecurity risk management program, typically on a quarterly basis. In addition, cybersecurity risks are reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors, at least annually, as part of the Company’s corporate risk mapping exercise.

We have, from time to time, experienced threats to and breaches of our data and systems, including breaches of our data within third party vendor's system. Risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected and are not reasonably likely to materially affect our company, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition as of December 31, 2023. For more information about the cybersecurity risks we face, see the risk factor entitled "Cybersecurity incidents, security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business, prevent us from accessing critical information or expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation" in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES

Our leased office space in Miami, Florida, serves as our principal place of business and headquarters. We also lease office space in Henderson, Nevada, which previously served as our principal executive office, and is being used as the administrative office for certain of our back-office functions. We believe that our current office space is adequate to meet our needs.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business activities. As of the date of the filing of this report, we are not a party to any litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position, except for the legal proceedings discussed in Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Part II, Item 8, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Recent Developments

Fifth Amendment to Keep Well Agreement and Letter Agreement

On October 31, 2023, the Company and Acuitas Capital LLC (“Acuitas Capital” and together with its affiliates, “Acuitas”) entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Master Note Purchase Agreement dated April 15, 2022 (as amended through and including the Fifth Amendment, the “Existing Keep Well Agreement”), which, among other things, (1) reduced the minimum amount to be raised in an equity financing for such financing to constitute a “Qualified Financing” from $10.0 million to $8.0 million; (2) extended the deadline by when a Qualified Financing must be completed before the Company is required to withdraw the funds from the escrow account established under the Existing Keep Well Agreement (the “Escrow Account”) from October 31, 2023 to January 31, 2024; (3) provided that, if the Company completes a Qualified Financing, Acuitas will convert into shares of the Company’s common stock the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured convertible notes issued by the Company to Acuitas under the Existing Keep Well Agreement plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, minus (a) $7.0 million, minus (b) the principal amount of any senior secured convertible notes issued by the Company to Acuitas under the Existing Keep Well Agreement purchased with funds from the Escrow Account prior to the closing of the offering that constitutes the Qualified Financing, if any, in accordance with the terms (including the conversion price) of the Existing Keep Well Agreement and the senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes Conversion”); and (4) in connection with a Qualified Financing, the Company and Acuitas will consummate a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of $11.0 million of a pre-funded warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrant”) and a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Private Placement Warrant,” and together with the Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrant, the “Private Placement Securities”). The consideration for the Private Placement Securities purchased by Acuitas was to consist of (a) the funds then held in the Escrow Account, and (b) a reduction of the aggregate amounts outstanding under the senior secured convertible notes issued by the Company to Acuitas under the Existing Keep Well Agreement (after giving effect to the Notes Conversion) to $2.0 million (the $2.0 million that remained outstanding is evidenced by a senior secured convertible promissory note that we refer to as the “Surviving Note”).

Under a letter agreement the Company entered into with Acuitas on November 9, 2023, the minimum amount to be raised in an equity financing for such financing to constitute a “Qualified Financing” was further reduced to $6.0 million. For detailed information regarding the Existing Keep Well Agreement and the transactions related thereto, including the Fifth Amendment, see the discussions under “Keep Well Agreement” and “Fifth Amendment to Keep Well Agreement and Letter Agreement” in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

On November 14, 2023, the Company completed its previously announced public offering (the “Public Offering”). In the Public Offering, the Company issued (a) 4,592,068 shares of its common stock and 9,184,136 warrants to purchase up to 9,184,136 shares of its common stock at a combined public offering price of $0.60 per share of common stock and accompanying warrants (the “Public Offering Price”), and (b) 5,907,932 pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 5,907,932 shares of its common stock (the “Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrants”) and 11,815,864 warrants to purchase up to 11,815,864 shares of its common stock at a combined public offering price of $0.5999 per Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying warrants, which represents the per share public offering price for the common stock and accompanying warrants less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrant. The Company refers to the warrants sold in the Public Offering accompanying the shares of common stock and the Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrants as the “Public Offering Warrants.” The Company received gross proceeds of $6.3 million from the Public Offering, and therefore the Public Offering constituted a Qualified Financing. Total net proceeds was approximately $5.3 million (net of approximately $1.0 million of offering related fees and expenses, not including the fees payable relating to the Private Placement discussed below). When originally issued, the Public Offering Warrants had an exercise price of $0.85 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with their terms.

In accordance with the Fifth Amendment, concurrent with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company issued to Humanitario Capital LLC (“Humanitario”), an affiliate of Acuitas Capital, a Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase up to 18,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock and a Private Placement Warrant to purchase up to 36,666,666 shares of the Company's common stock for total consideration of $11.0 million. The consideration for the Private Placement Securities consisted of (a) the $6.0 million in the Escrow Account that Acuitas previously delivered to the Company in June 2023 and September 2023 in accordance with the Existing Keep Well Agreement (which $6.0 million was reclassified from restricted cash to unrestricted cash) and (b) $5.0 million of debt owed under the senior secured convertible notes issued by the Company to Acuitas under the Existing Keep Well Agreement, which was cancelled. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid placement fees of approximately $0.4 million.

31



In accordance with the Fifth Amendment, on November 14, 2023 and before the closing of the Public Offering and Private Placement, the Notes Conversion was effected. In connection with the Notes Conversion, $16.2 million of senior secured convertible notes issued by the Company to Acuitas under the Existing Keep Well Agreement was converted into 18,054,791 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company issued to Acuitas a warrant to purchase up to 18,054,791 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.90 per share (the “Conversion Warrant”), which was the conversion price of the senior secured convertible notes converted in the Notes Conversion. In addition, the maturity date of the Surviving Note was extended from September 30, 2024 to May 14, 2026, which date is two years and six months after the closing date of the Public Offering.

Because the Public Offering Price was less than the conversion price at which the senior secured convertible notes were converted in the Notes Conversion, (1) the Company issued to Acuitas 9,027,395 additional shares of common stock, which when added to the shares of common stock issued in respect of the Notes Conversion, equaled the total number of shares of common stock that the Company would have issued in respect of the Notes Conversion if the senior secured convertible notes converted in the Notes Conversion were converted at a conversion price equal to the Public Offering Price; and (2) the exercise price of the Conversion Warrant was reduced to the Public Offering Price and the number of shares of common stock subject to the Conversion Warrant was increased to the number of shares of common stock that would have been subject to the Conversion Warrant if the senior secured convertible notes converted in the Notes Conversion were converted at a conversion price equal to the Public Offering Price.

Sixth Amendment to Existing Keep Well Agreement

On March 28, 2024, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into an amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the Existing Keep Well Agreement (as amended through and including the Sixth Amendment, the “Keep Well Agreement”).

Issuance of Demand Notes and Warrants. Under the Sixth Amendment, on April 5, 2024, the Company issued and sold to Acuitas, and Acuitas purchased from the Company, a senior secured convertible promissory note (a “Demand Note”), with a principal amount of $1.5 million (the “Initial Demand Note”). In Acuitas’ sole discretion, Acuitas may purchase from the Company, and the Company will issue and sell to Acuitas, up to an additional $13.5 million in principal amount of Demand Notes, at such time and in such principal amounts as specified in the Sixth Amendment. The terms of the Demand Notes are substantially similar to the Surviving Note, except the amounts due under the Demand Notes are payable upon demand of the holder. Unless and until the effective date of the Stockholder Approval (as defined below) occurs (such effective date, the “Stockholder Approval Effective Date”), the Company will not issue any shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of any Demand Note.

In connection with each Demand Note purchased by Acuitas from the Company (including the Initial Demand Note), and subject to the Stockholder Approval Effective Date occurring, the Company will issue to Acuitas (or an entity affiliated with Acuitas, as designated by Acuitas) a warrant (“Demand Warrant”) to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock that results in 200% warrant coverage. Each Demand Warrant will have a term of five years. The initial exercise price of each Demand Warrant will be (a) in the case of the Demand Warrant issued in connection with the Initial Demand Note and in respect of the next $3.0 million of principal amount of Demand Notes purchased by Acuitas, the lesser of (i) $0.3442 (after giving effect to the reduction of the exercise price of the Public Offering Warrants and the Private Placement Warrant (collectively, the “November 2023 Warrants”) that occurred on April 5, 2024 described below) and (ii) the greater of (1) the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market or such other exchange on which the Company’s common stock is listed (the “Exchange”) immediately preceding the time the applicable Demand Note is deemed issued by the Company and (2) $0.12, and (b) in the case of the Demand Warrants issued in connection with any subsequent Demand Notes, the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Exchange immediately preceding the time the applicable Demand Note is deemed issued by the Company, which initial exercise price will, in each case of clauses (a) and (b) above, be subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Demand Warrant and the Sixth Amendment. The terms of the Demand Warrants will be substantially similar to the terms of the November 2023 Warrants. See “Warrant Adjustment Provisions,” below.

The Company will not issue any Demand Warrant unless and until the Stockholder Approval Effective Date occurs, and promptly as practicable following such date, the Company will issue each Demand Warrant that would have been issued through and including such date.

Replacement of Keep Well Warrants. Following the Stockholder Approval Effective Date, the Company will issue to each holder of each warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued under the Existing Keep Well Agreement outstanding as of the Stockholder Approval Effective Date (any such warrant, a “Replaced Keep Well Warrant”), in exchange therefor, a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (a “New Keep Well Warrant”) substantially in the form of the Demand Warrant, and each Replaced Keep Well Warrant will be deemed automatically cancelled.
32



Each New Keep Well Warrant will (a) have the same issuance date as the Replaced Keep Well Warrant in respect of which it was issued, (b) a term of five years from the original issuance date of the Replaced Keep Well Warrant in respect of which it was issued, and (c) an initial exercise price equal to $0.3442 (after giving effect to the reduction of the exercise price of the November 2023 Warrants that occurred on April 5, 2024 described below), which will be subject to further adjustment in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Sixth Amendment.

Surviving Note. Effective as of the Stockholder Approval Effective Date, the conversion price of the Surviving Note will become equal to the lesser of (i) $0.36, and (ii) the greater of (a) the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Exchange on the trading day that is immediately prior to the applicable conversion date of such note and (b) $0.12, which will be subject to further adjustment in accordance with its terms.

Stockholder Approval. The Company is required to seek stockholder approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market of (a) the issuance of the (x) Demand Warrants, (y) the New Keep Well Warrants and (z) the Demand Notes, (b) the issuance of the shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the Demand Warrants, the New Keep Well Warrants, and the Demand Notes, and (c) any other terms of the Sixth Amendment that require approval of the Company’s stockholders under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Company intends to obtain the Stockholder Approval by written consent or consents signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the applicable actions at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Following receipt of the Stockholder Approval, the Company intends to file with the SEC a preliminary information statement related to the Stockholder Approval, and the Company will thereafter mail a definitive information statement to the Company’s stockholders in accordance with SEC rules. Under SEC rules, in the case of corporate actions taken by the consent of stockholders, the definitive information statement must be sent or given at least 20 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the corporation actions approved by the consent of stockholders may be taken. Accordingly, the effectiveness of the stockholder approval of the corporate actions approved by the Stockholder Approval will be 20 calendar days after the date on which definitive information statement is first sent or given to the Company’s stockholders.

Waivers by Holders of Outstanding Warrants

Also on March 28, 2024, the Company and each holder of a Public Offering Warrant entered into a waiver and consent agreement (collectively, the “Public Offering Investor Waivers”), pursuant to which such holder agreed to waive, with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Sixth Amendment, certain limitations and prohibitions in the securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Public Offering Warrants were issued that otherwise would have prohibited the Company from entering into the Sixth Amendment and consummating the transactions contemplated thereby.

In addition, pursuant to the Public Offering Investor Waivers, the holders of the Public Offering Warrants agreed to the following adjustments to the exercise price of the Public Offering Warrants then in effect (in lieu of the adjustments that would otherwise be made in accordance with the terms of the Public Offering Warrants as described below) in connection with the Sixth Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby: (i) the exercise price was reduced to $0.36 at the time the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment; (ii) if $0.36 was greater than the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock on any trading day during the five trading day period immediately following the public announcement of the Company entering into the Sixth Amendment (the “Restricted Transaction Measuring Period”), then the exercise price would be further reduced to the lowest VWAP on any trading day during the Restricted Transaction Measuring Period; and (iii) if any senior secured promissory note issued under the Keep Well Agreement is converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price less than the exercise price of the Public Offering Warrants then in effect, after giving effect to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) and any adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Public Offering Warrant (other than Section 3(b) thereof), then the exercise price will be further reduced to such conversion price at such time of such conversion.

Also on March 28, 2024, the Company and Humanitario entered into a waiver and agreement (the “Private Placement Investor Waiver” and together with the Public Offering Investors Waivers, the “Investor Waivers”)) pursuant to which, among other things, Humanitario agreed to the adjustments to the exercise price of the Private Placement Warrant then in effect as described above for the Public Offering Warrants (in lieu of the adjustments that would otherwise be made in accordance with the terms of such warrant described below) in connection with the Sixth Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby.

33



The lowest VWAP on any trading day during the Restricted Transaction Measuring Period was $0.3442. Accordingly, the exercise price of the November 2023 Warrants was reduced to, and currently is, $0.3442 per share, which is subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Investor Waivers and the November 2023 Warrants.

In addition, as a result of the reduction of the exercise price of the November 2023 Warrants to $0.3442 per share described above, the initial exercise price of each Demand Warrant and each New Keep Well Warrant the Company issues, in each case, if and when issued, will be $0.3442 per share, which is subject to further adjustment in accordance with the Sixth Amendment and, as applicable, the Demand Warrant and New Keep Well Warrant.

Warrant Adjustment Provisions

In addition to customary adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock, the exercise price of the November 2023 Warrants, the Demand Warrants and New Keep Well Warrants, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the events described below (collectively, the “Warrant Adjustment Provisions”).

•Adjustment in May 2026. On May 14, 2026, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to the greater of (i) $0.1584 per share and (ii) the lesser of (x) the then exercise price and (y) the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock on any trading day during the five trading day period immediately before May 14, 2026.

•Alternative Exercise Price Following Certain Issuances. If we issue or sell, or enter into any agreement to issue or sell, any common stock, common stock equivalents, or rights, warrants or options to purchase shares of our capital stock or common stock equivalents that are issuable or convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of our common stock at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of our common stock (excluding customary adjustments in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events), the holder will have the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute the variable price for the exercise price of its warrants.

•Adjustment for Stock Combination Events. In the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock (a “Stock Combination Event”), if the Event Market Price (as defined below) is less than the exercise price of the warrants then in effect (after giving effect to customary adjustments thereto as a result of the event), then on the 16th trading day immediately following the Stock Combination Event, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to the Event Market Price. “Event Market Price” means, with respect to any Stock Combination Event, the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the volume weighted average price of our common stock for each of the five lowest trading days during the 20 consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the 16th trading day after the date of such Stock Combination Event, by (y) five.

•Adjustment Upon Restricted Investor Subsequent Placement. If at any time prior to June 20, 2027, we (1) grant, issue or sell (or enter into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any shares of common stock, non-convertible indebtedness and/or common stock equivalents to Acuitas that results in a reduction of the exercise price in accordance with the terms of the warrants, or (2) consummate (or enter into any agreement with respect to) any other financing with Acuitas (any transaction described in clause (1) or (2), other than certain exempt issuances, a “Restricted Transaction”) and the exercise price of the warrants is greater than the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock on any trading day during the five trading day period immediately following the public announcement of such Restricted Transaction, then the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to the lowest volume weighted average price on any trading day during such five trading day period.

•Adjustment for Dilutive Issuances. If we issue (or enter into any agreement to issue) any shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents, excluding certain exempt issuances, for a consideration per share less than the exercise price of the warrants in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance, then the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to an amount equal to the consideration per share at which the common stock or common stock equivalents were issued or deemed issued.

•Adjustment to Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the exercise price on or prior to June 20, 2027, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will be increased or decreased proportionally, such that the aggregate exercise price of the warrants, after taking into account the adjustment in the exercise price, will be equal to the aggregate exercise price before the adjustment in the exercise price.

34



In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the November 2023 Warrants, the Demand Warrants and New Keep Well Warrants and which generally includes any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, a holder of any of the November 2023 Warrants, the Demand Warrants or New Keep Well Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise thereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holder would have received had it exercised the holder’s applicable warrant immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the November 2023 Warrants, the Demand Warrants and New Keep Well Warrants, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holder will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the warrants) of the warrants on the date of consummation of such transaction.
Customer Notifications, Reduction in Workforce and Restructuring

On October 10, 2023, the Company was notified by a health plan customer of its intent not to continue using the Company’s services after February 2024. The customer advised us to cease enrollment of any new members from that customer immediately. The customer also informed us that the notification was related to the customer’s change in strategy and not reflective of the performance or value of the Company’s services. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we billed this customer approximately $4.3 million, representing 33.8% of our total revenue. As of the date we received this customer's notice, our outreach pool, which represents individuals insured by our health plan customers who have been identified through our advanced data analytics and predictive modeling with untreated behavioral health conditions that may be impacted through enrollment in the Ontrak program, decreased by 5,997 due to individuals insured by this customer. See the risk factor titled “A substantial percentage of our revenues are attributable to a few large customers, any or all of which may terminate our services at any time,” in Item 1A of Part I of this report.

Over the last two years, our management has approved multiple restructuring plans as part of management's continued cost saving measures in order to reduce our operating costs, optimize our business model and help align with our previously stated strategic initiatives. In furtherance of the restructuring plans:

•In August 2022, approximately 34% of our employee positions were eliminated, which resulted in a reduction of annual compensation costs of approximately $7.7 million and in annual third party costs of approximately $3.0 million, and we incurred approximately $0.9 million of one-time termination related costs, including severance payments and benefits payable to the impacted employees.

•In March 2023, approximately 19% of our employee positions were eliminated, which resulted in a reduction of annual compensation costs of approximately $2.7 million, and we incurred approximately $0.5 million of one-time termination related costs, including severance payments and benefits payable to the impacted employees.

•In February 2024, approximately 21% of our employee positions were eliminated, which is expected to result in a reduction of annual compensation costs of approximately $2.0 million, and we incurred approximately $0.3 million of one-time termination related costs, including severance payments and benefits payable to the impacted employees. The headcount reductions were completed during March 2024.
For information regarding restructuring, severance and related costs, refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report.
9.50% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock

On November 20, 2023, The Nasdaq Stock Market removed our Series A Preferred Stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market due to non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5555(a)(1). Our Series A Preferred Stock currently trades in the over-the-counter OTC Markets system.

Reverse Stock Split

In July 2023, we filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware implementing a 1-for-6 reverse stock split. Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a post-split basis at the open of trading on July 28, 2023. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for more information.
35




Insurance Recoveries

The Company is involved in various securities class actions and purported stockholder derivative complaints, and the Company has incurred legal costs related to the SEC/Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) investigation of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, as described in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report. The Company maintains a corporate liability insurance policy which provides coverage for legal defense costs. The terms of this insurance policy provide that the insurer will pay the third party directly on behalf of the Company for such legal defense costs. Based on the Company's analysis, the Company's obligation as the primary obligor of the invoices for legal defense costs has not been transferred to the insurer and as such, the Company records these costs as an other receivable with a corresponding liability on its consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the Company submitted cumulative claims for legal defense costs totaling approximately $3.1 million, of which $2.7 million has been paid by the insurer to the third parties. The Company has $0.4 million of claims for legal defense costs recorded as other receivable included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and $0.4 million as part of “Other accrued liabilities” on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
Metrics

The following table sets forth our key metrics that we use to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions:
•Revenue. Our revenues are mostly generated from fees charged to health plan customers related to health plan members enrolled in our Ontrak program. Our contracts are generally designed to provide cash fees to us on a monthly basis, an upfront case rate, or fee for service based on enrolled members and achievement of certain member specified metrics that drive clinical engagement. Our performance obligation is generally satisfied over the length of the Ontrak program as our services our delivered and in certain contractual arrangement that provides for a minimum guarantee at the end of a contractual term upon non-achievement of stipulated revenue targets, revenue for the minimum guarantee is recognized when our performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time.
•Cash flow from operations. Our business activities generally have resulted in an outflow of cash flow from operations as we invest strategically into our business to help the growth of our operations.
•Effective outreach pool. Our effective outreach pool represents individuals insured by our health plan customers who have been identified through our advanced data analytics and predictive modeling with untreated behavioral health conditions that may be impacted through enrollment in the Ontrak program.

Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands, except outreach pool) 2023 2022 Change % Change
Revenue $ 12,743  $ 14,514  $ (1,771) (12) %
Cash flow from operations (15,498) (23,966) 8,468  35  %
At December 31,
2023 2022 Change % Change
Effective outreach pool 2,161  3,861  (1,700) (44) %

Our revenue for 2023 was $12.7 million compared to $14.5 million for 2022. The decrease in our revenue in 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in total average enrolled members during 2023 compared to 2022.
Our cash flow from operations for 2023 was $(15.5) million compared to $(24.0) million for 2022. The improvement in our cash flow from operations during 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in net loss which resulted primarily from an improvement in operating expenses resulting from strategic headcount reductions throughout 2022 and 2023.

Our effective outreach pool at December 31, 2023 was 2,161 compared to 3,861 at December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a health plan customer informing us, in October of 2023, of their intent not to continue using our services after February 2024, partially offset by an increase related to several factors including the refinement of our proprietary and predictive algorithms to identify additional eligible members, the addition of high-acuity, commercial members resulting from an amendment executed with an existing customer and the expansion of the Ontrak program for a Medicaid plan customer to a new 18 to 20 year old cohort of members.
36



As we work with our remaining customers in maximizing return on their investment, optimizing our enrollment process, and enhancing our offering, the effective outreach pool could continue to fluctuate in the near term.

On February 29, 2024, we announced the expansion of our program to a larger commercial population with a health plan customer, one of the largest health systems in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. On March 12, 2024, we announced a continuing expansion of our strategic partnership with the same health plan customer to offer our program to eligible self-insured groups. The expanded partnership initially represents a more than 6.5 times increase in the number of this customer's members who are eligible for the Ontrak WholeHealth+ program. As of the date of the filing of this report, our effective outreach pool more than doubled to over 5,000 as compared to December 31, 2023.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to the customers. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring our progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. Revenue related to health plan customers whose health plan members are enrolled in our program is recognized over the enrollment period of the program.

One of our customer contracts includes a minimum guarantee aggregate invoices at agreed upon rates of $5.8 million over a two year contractual period ending on December 31, 2024, of which we have invoiced $0.3 million as of December 31, 2023, leaving $5.5 million of minimum guarantee over the remaining contractual period. In the event the minimum guarantee is not achieved, the shortfall will be invoiced to the customer on December 31, 2024, at which time revenue can be recognized.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries related to our care coaches, member engagement specialists and other staff directly involved in member care, healthcare provider claims payments and related processing fees, and other direct costs incurred to serve our health plan customers. All costs are recognized in the period in which an eligible member receives services.
Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of our sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses, as well as restructuring, severance and related costs as applicable. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our sales and marketing staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation and commissions, and costs of marketing and promotional events, corporate communications, online marketing, product marketing and other brand-building activities. All advertising related costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our engineers and software development staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, and the cost of certain third-party service providers. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for administrative, legal, finance, compliance and human resource staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, professional fees, insurance premiums, and other corporate expenses. Restructuring, severance and related costs include workforce reduction costs and asset impairment charges, if any.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense from our outstanding debt, accretion of debt discount, amortization of debt issuance costs and finance leases.
Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net consists of gains and losses associated with changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and contingent consideration, write-off of debt issuance related costs and other assets, net gain related to the write-off of an operating lease asset and liability upon early termination of the lease, and other miscellaneous income and expense items.

Revenue
The mix of our revenues between commercial and government insured members can fluctuate year over year. The following table sets forth our sources of revenue for each of the periods indicated:
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands, except percentages) 2023 2022 Change Change %
Commercial revenue $ 4,320  $ 6,772  $ (2,452) (36) %
Percentage of commercial revenue to total revenue 34  % 47  % (13) %
Government revenue $ 8,423  $ 7,742  $ 681  %
Percentage of government revenue to total revenue 66  % 53  % 13  %
Total revenue $ 12,743  $ 14,514  $ (1,771) (12) %
Total revenue decreased $1.8 million, or 12%, in 2023 as compared to 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in total average enrolled members during 2023 compared to 2022.

The mix of our revenues from commercial customers decreased to 34% in 2023 compared to 47% in 2022, and from government customers increased to 66% in 2023 compared to 53% in 2022. This shift in mix of revenues in commercial and government customers was mainly due to a decrease in commercial revenue throughout 2023 as compared to 2022 for a customer compared to an increase in government revenue during 2023 compared to 2022 for another customer.

As discussed above, in October 2023, we were notified by a health plan customer of its intent not to continue using our services after February 2024. This customer informed us that its decision was related to its change in strategy and not reflective of the performance or value of our services.

Cost of revenue decreased $3.5 million, or 47%, in 2023 as compared to 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the effect of lower headcount and cost optimization initiatives we implemented focused on operational improvements to our member facing organization, and a decrease in provider costs.
Gross profit and gross profit margin increased by $1.7 million and 20%, respectively, in 2023 as compared to 2022. The increase in both gross profit and gross profit margin was primarily due to the decrease in our cost of revenue discussed above, partially offset by the decrease in revenue discussed above.

Operating expenses:
   Research and development $ 6,626  $ 10,974  $ (4,348) (40) %

Operating loss margin (165.8) % (304.0) % 138.2  %
Total operating expense decreased by $21.2 million, or 42%, in 2023 as compared to 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the following:
•$4.3 million decrease in our research and development costs, which was primarily related to $1.9 million decrease in employee-related costs, a $1.3 million decrease in depreciation expense, a $0.9 million decrease in software related costs and a $0.7 million decrease in professional consulting fees;
•$1.4 million decrease in our sales and marketing costs, which was primarily related to $1.3 million decrease in employee-related costs and $0.2 million decrease in promotional costs related to marketing initiatives, partially offset by $0.1 million increase in software and professional consulting costs;
•$15.0 million decrease in our general and administrative costs, which was primarily related to $10.7 million decrease in employee-related costs, $1.2 million decrease in insurance related costs, $1.1 million decrease in software related costs, $0.7 million decrease in other general professional service costs, $0.6 million decrease in legal costs, $0.2 million decrease in occupancy costs, $0.2 million decrease in membership dues and subscription costs, $0.2 million decrease in travel and entertainment expenses and decrease in other general administrative costs, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in bad debt expense; and
•$0.5 million decrease in restructuring, severance and related costs, which was primarily due to costs related to the workforce reduction implemented in August 2022 compared to the workforce reduction implemented in March 2023. For more information, see Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

(in thousands, except percentages) 2023 2022 Change Change %
Other income (expense), net $ 334  $ (3,461) $ 3,795  (110) %
Other income, net of $0.3 million for 2023 was primarily related to a $0.5 million gain resulting from the write-off of an operating lease asset and liability upon early termination of the lease for office space in Santa Monica, California, partially offset by approximately $0.2 million of net lease termination related fees. Other expense, net of $3.5 million for 2022 was primarily related to a $3.3 million write-off of debt issuance costs on promissory notes we issued in 2019 and 2020, and a $0.3 million write-off of other asset, partially offset by $0.1 million of net gain related to changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities.
Interest Expense, net

(in thousands, except percentages) 2023 2022 Change Change %
Interest expense, net $ (7,202) $ (3,907) $ (3,295) 84  %
Interest expense, net increased $3.3 million, or 84%, in 2023 as compared to 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher average total outstanding loan balance during 2023 compared to 2022, as well as higher amount of accretion of debt discount to interest expense and higher weighted average interest rate in 2023 compared to 2022.

Income tax benefit (expense) $ 80  $ (88) $ 168  (191) %
Income tax benefit of $0.08 million for 2023 was primarily related to a reversal of accrued estimated income taxes. Income tax expense of $0.09 million for 2022 was primarily related to state minimum taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate revenues from fees charged for the services we provide to commercial (employer funded), managed Medicare Advantage, managed Medicaid and dual eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) populations. We also generate revenues from the fees charged for mental health and wellbeing support services we provide to members of employer customers under our LifeDojo wellbeing solution. We aim to increase the number of members that are eligible for our solutions by signing new contracts and identifying more eligible members within customers with whom we have existing contracts.

We have incurred significant net losses and negative operating cash flows since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur net losses and negative operating cash flow, in part due to the negative impact on our operations by customer terminations. As of December 31, 2023, our total cash was $9.7 million and we had working capital of approximately $8.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our average monthly cash burn rate from operations was $1.3 million.

On November 14, 2023, the Notes Conversion, the Public Offering and the Private Placement were completed. All amounts we owed under then outstanding senior secured convertible notes we issued to Acuitas under the Keep Well Agreement, other than $7.0 million, was converted into shares of our common stock in the Notes Conversion, and $5.0 million of such $7.0 million was applied toward the purchase price of the securities we issued in the Private Placement. We raised net proceeds of approximately $5.3 million in the Public Offering, and $6.0 million of restricted cash held by us in escrow together with $5.0 million of amounts owed under then outstanding senior secured convertible notes we issued to Acuitas was applied toward the purchase price of the securities we issued in the Private Placement. See “Overview—Recent Developments—Public Offering, Private Placement and Notes Conversion” above.

Throughout 2022 and in March 2023, as part of our continued cost saving measures to reduce our operating costs and to better align with our previously stated strategic initiatives, we implemented a number of reductions in workforce and vendor cost optimization plans. We began to realize the effect of these cost saving measures in 2022 and 2023, including a decrease in our operating costs and an improvement in our average monthly cash flow from operations.
40



In February 2024, we implemented an additional reduction in workforce to reduce our operating costs. These cost optimization plans were necessary to right size our business commensurate with our then current customer base.

On March 28, 2024, we and Acuitas entered into the Sixth Amendment, pursuant to which up to a total of $15.0 million of Demand Notes may be issued through April 2025. We issued the Initial Demand Note of $1.5 million on April 5, 2024. Acuitas, in its sole discretion, may purchase from the Company, and the Company will issue and sell to Acuitas, up to an additional $13.5 million in principal amount of Demand Notes, at such time and in such principal amounts as specified in the Sixth Amendment. From March 28, 2024 through April 2, 2024, we received a total of $1.9 million of cash proceeds from the exercise of Public Offering Warrants by certain holders thereof for a total of 5,166,664 shares of our common stock (see Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report). As of the date of filing this report, approximately $3.7 million of secured debt, including accrued paid-in-kind interest, was outstanding under the Keep Well Agreement, $1.5 million of which is payable upon demand of the holder, and the balance of which matures on May 14, 2026, unless it becomes due and payable in full earlier, whether by acceleration or otherwise. See “Overview—Recent Developments—Sixth Amendment to Existing Keep Well Agreement” above.
Management plans to continue executing its strategy to increase liquidity by continuing to (i) explore other sources of capital for future liquidity needs; (ii) manage operating costs by strategically pursuing cost optimization initiatives; and (iii) pursue executing our growth strategy by: (a) expanding sales and marketing resources to acquire new and diverse customers across major health plans, value based provider groups and self-insurance employers; (b) executing on our better market penetration strategy by providing full scale customized behavioral health solutions, addressing customer needs across all member acuity levels while mitigating vendor fatigue by becoming a principal customer partner; (c) leveraging our AI technology and new predictive algorithms to improve identification and outreach, create more efficiencies, enhance coaching solutions and create more proof points; and (d) opportunistically pursuing partnerships that we believe will accelerate growth.

We will need additional capital to successfully execute our growth strategy. In addition to revenue from business operations, since April 2022, our primary source of working capital has historically been borrowings under the Keep Well Agreement and raising capital in equity offerings. We may seek to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings, however, when we can affect such financings and how much capital we can raise depends on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our determination as to the appropriate sources of funding for our operations. In addition, under the securities purchase agreement we entered into in connection with the Public Offering, we are generally prohibited from issuing shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents for capital raising purposes through May 12, 2024; however, from and after February 12, 2024, we may issue shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents for capital raising purposes if the per share price is $0.60 or greater. There can be no assurance that other capital will be available when needed or that, if available, it will be obtained on terms favorable to us and our stockholders, that we will be successful in implementing cost optimization initiatives, or that we will be successful in executing our growth strategy. In addition, the Keep Well Agreement contains various financial and other covenants, and any non-compliance with those covenants could result in an acceleration of the repayment of the amounts outstanding thereunder. Furthermore, equity or debt financings may have a dilutive effect on the holdings of our existing stockholders, and debt financings may subject us to restrictive covenants, operational restrictions and security interests in our assets. See the risk factors entitled “We expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses” and “We will need additional funding, and we cannot guarantee that we will find adequate sources of capital in the future” in Item 1A. Risk Factors, Part I of this report.
Regardless of our success in raising additional capital, we expect our cash on hand as of December 31, 2023, together with the $1.9 million of cash proceeds we received from the exercise of Public Offering Warrants, discussed above, and the amount potentially available for borrowing under the Keep Well Agreement, will be sufficient to meet our obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date the financial statements in this report are released.
Cash Flows
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

41



Year Ended December 31,
2023 2022
Net cash used in operating activities $ (15,498) $ (23,966)
Net cash used in investing activities (285) (1,156)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 15,771  (31,111)
      Net decrease in cash and restricted cash $ (12) $ (56,233)

We used $15.5 million of cash from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared with $24.0 million during the same period in 2022. The year over year improvement in our cash flow from operations during 2023 as compared to 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in net loss which resulted primarily from an improvement in operating expenses resulting from strategic headcount reductions throughout 2022 and 2023.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million in 2023 compared with $1.2 million in 2022, relating to capitalized software development costs in each of the years. We anticipate that software development costs and capital expenditures will continue to decrease during the near term.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $15.8 million in 2023 compared with net cash used in financing activities of $31.1 million in 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities for 2023 was primarily related to $8.0 million of proceeds from borrowings under the Keep Well Agreement, $6.0 million of proceeds received under the Keep Well Agreement which was applied to purchase our securities issued in the Private Placement, and $6.3 million of gross proceeds from the Public Offering, partially offset by $1.7 million of total financing transaction costs, and $2.6 million of financed insurance premium payments. Net cash used in financing activities for 2022 was primarily related to $39.2 million of repayments made on our promissory notes we issued in 2019 and 2020, representing full payment and termination of those promissory notes, $2.8 million of payments made on our financed insurance premiums and $2.2 million of dividend payments made on our Series A Preferred Stock, partially offset by $11.0 million borrowed under the Keep Well Agreement and $3.3 million net raised in a registered direct offering of our common stock.
As a result of the above, our total cash was $9.7 million as of December 31, 2023.
Debt
See Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for a detailed discussion about our debt.
Common Stock and Preferred Stock Offerings
See Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report for a detailed discussion about our common stock and preferred stock offerings, and related preferred stock dividends.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the appropriateness of our estimates and we maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
42



We consider our critical accounting estimates to be those that (1) involve significant judgments and uncertainties, (2) require estimates that are more difficult for management to determine, and (3) may produce materially different results when using different assumptions. We have discussed these critical accounting estimates, the basis for their underlying assumptions and estimates, and the nature of our related disclosures herein with the audit committee of our Board of Directors. We believe our accounting policies related to revenue recognition and share-based compensation expense involve our most significant judgments and estimates that are material to our consolidated financial statements. They are discussed further below.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates virtual healthcare service revenue from contracts with customers as it satisfies its performance obligations to customers and their members enrolled in our Ontrak program. The virtual healthcare service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring progress in a manner that depicts the transfer of services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the “transaction price”). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including identification of the performance obligation and the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company considers the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, such as the judgment and actions of third parties.
Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents billed, but unrecognized revenue, and is comprised of fees billed or received in advance of the delivery or completion of the services when revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Deferred revenue is recognized as our performance obligation is satisfied over the length of the Ontrak program as our services are delivered.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs primarily include personnel and related expenses, including third-party services, for software development, engineering and information technology infrastructure development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is carried at historical cost, not amortized, and subject to write-down, as needed, based upon an impairment analysis that we perform annually on October 1 or more frequently if an event occurs or change in circumstances indicates that the asset may be impaired. We operate as one reporting unit and the fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using quoted market prices in active markets of our common stock. The implied fair value of goodwill is compared to the carrying value of goodwill as of the testing date, and an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value, if any. We conducted our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2023 and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed.

Definite-lived intangible assets include acquired software technology and customer relationships resulting from a business acquisition. We amortize such definite-lived intangible assets on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. See below under "Valuation of Long-Lived Assets" for more information.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event the undiscounted future cash flow attributable to the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Changes in estimates of future cash flows attributable to the long-lived assets could result in a write-down of the asset in a future period.
43



We conducted an impairment analysis of our long-lived assets and determined that there was no impairment relating to these long-lived assets as of December 31, 2023.
Debt

The Company accounts for debt in accordance with ASC 470, Debt and records specific incremental costs paid to third parties in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are deferred as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability on its consolidated balance sheet. The deferred financing costs are amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. The Company accounts for amendments to debt agreement in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments to determine whether debt modification or debt extinguishment is applicable. Upon an amendment, previously capitalized debt issuance costs are expensed and included in the calculation of gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, if the Company determines that there has been a substantial modification of the related debt and extinguishment of debt applies. If the Company determines that there has not been a substantial modification of the related debt, modification of debt applies and any previously capitalized debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over the term of the new debt instrument.

Warrants

The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants that are issued, as either liability or equity, by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and then in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. Under ASC 480, warrants are considered liability classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the issuer to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or must or may require settlement by issuing variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815, in order to conclude equity classification, the Company assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815 or other applicable GAAP. After all relevant assessments are made, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified warrants are required to be accounted for at fair value both on the date of issuance and on subsequent accounting period ending dates, with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the statements of operations as a gain or loss. For equity classified warrants, no changes in fair value are recognized after the issuance date.
Share-Based Compensation
Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units – Employees and Directors
We measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the date of grant. We estimate the fair value of RSU awards based on the closing stock price of our common shares on the date of grant. We estimate the fair value of shares for stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the consolidated statements of operations. We recognize forfeitures when they occur.
Stock Options and Warrants – Non-employees
We account for the issuance of stock options and warrants for services from non-employees by estimating the fair value of stock options and warrants issued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This model’s calculations incorporate the exercise price, the market price of shares on grant date, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, expected life of the option or warrant, expected volatility of our stock and expected dividends.
For options and warrants issued as compensation to non-employees for services that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the time of issuance, the estimated value is recorded in equity and expensed when the services are performed and benefit is received. For unvested shares, the change in fair value during the period is recognized in expense using the graded vesting method.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and for assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Our internal control over financial reporting is supported by written policies and procedures that:
•pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
•provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our Board of Directors; and
45



•provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon this assessment, our management believes that, as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

ITEM 9B.    OTHER INFORMATION

(a) As previously reported, on October 13, 2023, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that we no longer meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) because the closing bid price for our common stock was less than $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The letter had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Under Nasdaq listing rules, we had a 180-calendar day period, or until April 10, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

On April 11, 2024, we received a letter from the Staff notifying us that we had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by April 10, 2024, and that we are not eligible for an additional 180-calendar day period within which to regain compliance because we do not meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The letter also states that, unless we request an appeal by April 18, 2024, our common stock will be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and will be suspended at the opening of business on April 22, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove our common stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Staff made its determination based upon our most recent public filings as of April 11, 2024. Our stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2023 was $14.3 million, and as of the date of the filing of this report, our stockholders’ equity remains in excess of the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, which is $5.0 million under the “equity standard” for The Nasdaq Capital Market. Accordingly, we believe we are eligible for an additional 180-calendar day period from April 10, 2024 within which to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. We would regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule if our common stock has a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the additional 180-calendar day period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend such 10-day period. We have notified Nasdaq that if necessary, we intend to cure the non-compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule during such additional 180-calendar day period by implementing a reverse stock split in sufficient time to evidence a closing bid price of our common stock of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to the expiration of such 180-day period. If the Staff does not grant us such additional 180-calendar day period, we intend to appeal the Staff’s determination to delist our common stock to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). A hearing request stays the delisting and suspension of our common stock pending the decision of the Panel. At the hearing, we would intend to present our views concerning our eligibility for the additional 180-calendar day period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule and our plans for regaining compliance, which would include implementing a reverse stock split if necessary as described above.

46



There can be no assurance that we will be granted an additional 180-calendar day period within which to regain compliance, or, if such an extension period is granted, that we will be able to evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule before the extension period expires. See also the risk factor titled “There can be no assurance that our common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq or, if listed, that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq, which could limit investors’ ability to transact in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions,” in in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

(b) During the period from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(a)(1)(i) of Regulation S-K) or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).

In 2023 incumbent non-employee directors were granted $50,000 worth of stock options. Grants to non-employee directors are pro-rated based upon the date they join our board of directors.

ITEM 12.    SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 9, 2024 for (a) each stockholder known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock (b) our named executive officers listed in the 2023 Summary Compensation Table, (c) each of our directors, and (d) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.

We deem shares of common stock that may be acquired by an individual or group within 60 days of April 9, 2024 pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table. Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown to be beneficially owned by them based on information provided to us by these stockholders. Percentage of ownership is based on 47,667,342 shares of common stock outstanding on April 9, 2024.

Keep Well Agreement

On April 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement (the “Original Keep Well Agreement”) with Acuitas Capital LLC (“Acuitas Capital”), an entity indirectly wholly owned and controlled by Terren S. Peizer, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. On August 12, 2022, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into an amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement in connection with the appointment of a collateral agent under the Original Keep Well Agreement (the “First Amendment”). On November 19, 2022, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into another amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment (the “Second Amendment”), on December 30, 2022, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into another amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment (the “Third Amendment”), on June 23, 2023, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into another amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”), on October 31, 2023, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into another amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”), and on March 28, 2024, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into another amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”). In this section, the Company refers to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, and the Fourth Amendment, as the “Keep Well Agreement” and to Acuitas Capital, together with any of its transferees or affiliates under the Keep Well Agreement, as “Acuitas.”

On March 28, 2024, the Company and Humanitario, an affiliate of Acuitas Capital, entered into the Private Placement Investor Waiver.

For a description of the transactions under the Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment and the Private Placement Investor Waiver, see “Overview—Recent Developments—Fifth Amendment to Keep Well Agreement and Letter Agreement,” “Overview—Recent Developments—Public Offering, Private Placement and Notes Conversion,” “Overview—Recent Developments—Sixth Amendment to Existing Keep Well Agreement” and “Overview—Recent Developments—Waivers by Holders of Outstanding Warrants” in Item 7 of Part II of this report, which are incorporated by reference herein.

The Original Keep Well Agreement

Under the terms of the Original Keep Well Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, the Company could borrow from Acuitas up to $25.0 million, and in connection with each such borrowing, the Company agreed to issue to Acuitas a senior secured note (each, an “Original Keep Well Note”) with a principal amount equal to the amount borrowed. Subject to obtaining approval of the Company’s stockholders as required by applicable Nasdaq listing rules, which approval was obtained at the 2022 Annual Meeting, in connection with each Original Keep Well Note issued by the Company, the Company agreed to issue to Acuitas a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (each, an “Original Keep Well Warrant”). The number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying each Original Keep Well Warrant was to be equal to (y) the product of the principal amount of the applicable Keep Well Note and 20% divided by (z) the exercise price of the applicable Original Keep Well Warrant, which was $1.69 per share, the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the time the parties entered into the Original Keep Well Agreement. The maturity date of the Original Keep Well Notes was September 1, 2023.

In connection with entering into the Original Keep Well Agreement, subject to obtaining approval of the Company’s stockholders as required by applicable Nasdaq listing rules, which approval was obtained at the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Company agreed to issue 739,645 shares of its common stock to Acuitas (or an entity affiliated with Acuitas, as designated by Acuitas) (the “Original Commitment Shares”). The Original Commitment Shares were issued to Acuitas in September 2022, and after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report, was adjusted to 123,275 shares of the Company’s common stock.

58



The Second Amendment, the Third Amendment and Fourth Amendment

Under the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment, many of the conditions precedent to the Company’s ability to borrow, and Acuitas’ obligation to lend, were eliminated, the Company’s obligation to pay accrued interest on a monthly basis was eliminated, and instead accrued interest will be added to the principal amount of the applicable Keep Well Note (as defined below) (and of any other secured note issued under the Keep Well Agreement), the financial covenant that the Company’s consolidated recurring revenue be at least $15.0 million was reduced to $11.0 million, however, the satisfaction of such covenant as a condition to funding was eliminated, and certain other affirmative and negative covenants of the Company, the satisfaction of which were conditions to funding, were also eliminated as conditions to funding, and (a) the minimum conversion price of the Keep Well Notes and (b) the minimum dollar amount to which the denominator will be reduced for purposes of calculating the warrant coverage on future borrowings under the Keep Well Agreement (as discussed below), was revised to be $0.15 (subject to adjustment for stock splits or other recapitalizations that affect all common stockholders proportionately). The $0.15 referenced in the preceding sentence was adjusted to $0.90 after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

Below is a summary of certain other amendments effected by the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment:

•the maturity date of the Original Keep Well Notes (and of any other secured notes issued under the Keep Well Agreement) was extended from September 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 in the Second Amendment, and was further extended to September 30, 2024 in the Fourth Amendment, subject to acceleration for certain customary events of default, including for failure to make payments when due, breaches by the Company of certain covenants and representations in the Keep Well Agreement, defaults by the Company under other agreements related to indebtedness, the Company’s bankruptcy or dissolution, and a change of control of the Company;
•per the Second Amendment, the remaining amount available to be borrowed under the Keep Well Agreement was increased from $10.7 million to $14.0 million and the provision that previously reduced the amount available to be borrowed by the net proceeds the Company received from equity financings was eliminated;
•per the Second Amendment, the funding structure was changed from borrowings as needed from time to time at the election of the Company, to the Company agreeing to borrow, and Acuitas agreeing to lend, subject to the conditions in the Keep Well Agreement, the entire then-remaining amount of $14.0 million as follows: $4.0 million in each of January (which was borrowed on January 5, 2023), March (which was borrowed on March 6, 2023) and June 2023, and $2.0 million in September 2023; the funding structure was further amended in the Fourth Amendment with respect to the $6.0 million remaining available amount to be funded, as described below;
•per the Fourth Amendment, in lieu of the $6.0 million remaining available amount to be funded as described above (and in full satisfaction of Acuitas’ obligation to purchase Keep Well Notes from the Company), Acuitas agreed to deliver to the Company for deposit and to be held by the Company in a segregated account established by the Company until such time of qualified withdrawal and issuance of a Keep Well Note, as described below (the proceeds so deposited, the “Escrowed Funds” and the account into which the proceeds are so deposited, the “Escrow Account”): (i) $4.0 million on June 23, 2023 (which was received by the Company on June 26, 2023); and (ii) $2.0 million on September 1, 2023 (which was received by the Company on September 7, 2023);
•per the Fourth Amendment, any time, and from time to time, that the Company has less than $1.0 million of Qualified Cash (as defined in Fourth Amendment), the Company may withdraw $1.0 million of Escrowed Funds (or any lesser remaining amount of Escrowed Funds) from the Escrow Account; each such withdrawal will be treated as a sale by the Company to Acuitas of a Keep Well Note with a principal amount equal to the amount withdrawn by the Company and in connection with each such withdrawal, the Company will also issue a Keep Well Warrant to Acuitas; and
•per the Fourth Amendment, if the Company does not complete a Qualified Financing (as defined below) on or prior to October 31, 2023, then, on October 31, 2023, the Company must withdraw all of the Escrowed Funds (other than any accrued interest thereon, all of which will belong to the Company) then on deposit in the Escrow Account, and such withdrawal will be treated as a sale by the Company to Acuitas of a Keep Well Note, and in connection with such withdrawal, the Company will also issue a Keep Well Warrant to Acuitas.





59



In the event the Company completes a Qualified Financing, all of the Escrowed Funds (other than any accrued interest thereon, all of which will belong to the Company) then on deposit in the Escrow Account will be invested in the Qualified Financing on behalf of Acuitas on the same terms as all other investors in the Qualified Financing, and the Company’s obligation to sell to Acuitas, and Acuitas’ obligation to purchase from the Company, any further Keep Well Notes will thereupon be deemed discharged with respect to the amount so invested.

A “Qualified Financing” was generally defined as any financing in which the Company issues or sells any of its equity securities for cash to one or more third party investors resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10.0 million exclusive of any amount invested by Acuitas in such financing. Under the Fifth Amendment, the definition of Qualified Financing was amended, and the parties agreed to other changes related to the investment of Escrowed Funds and conversion of Keep Well Notes. See “Overview—Recent Developments—Fifth Amendment to Keep Well Agreement and Letter Agreement” in Item 7 of Part II of this report.

Conversion of Keep Well Notes

Following approval of the Company’s stockholders obtained at the special meeting of the Company's stockholders held in February 2023 (the “2023 Special Meeting”), Acuitas, at its option, has the right to convert the entire principal amount of the secured notes issued under the Keep Well Agreement, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.40 per share and (ii) the greater of (a) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable conversion date and (b) $0.15 (the “Conversion Right”). The $0.40 and $0.15 referenced in the preceding sentence are subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar corporate actions, and were adjusted to $2.39 and $0.90, respectively, after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

Each Original Keep Well Note outstanding as of the date of stockholder approval was deemed to be amended to contain the Conversion Right. The Company refers to such Original Keep Well Notes, as so amended, and to all other secured notes issued under the Keep Well Agreement, as the “Keep Well Notes.”

In addition, in connection with the conversion of the principal amount of any Keep Well Note and/or accrued interest thereon into shares of the Company’s common stock (as described above), the Company agreed to issue to Acuitas a five-year warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, and the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to each such warrant will be equal to (x) 100% of the amount converted divided by (y) the conversion price of the Keep Well Note then in effect, and the exercise price of each such warrant will be equal to the conversion price of the Keep Well Note then in effect, subject to adjustment as described below.

Increase in Warrant Coverage and Other Adjustments

Following approval of the Company’s stockholders obtained at the 2023 Special Meeting, (a) the exercise price of the warrants issued under the Keep Well Agreement (both the Original Keep Well Warrants outstanding as of the date of the Second Amendment and those issued thereafter) was reduced to $0.45 per share ($2.70 per share as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report), which was the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the time the parties entered into the Second Amendment, and which is subject to future adjustment as described below; (b) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the warrants outstanding at the time of the 2023 Special Meeting (i.e., 1,775,148 shares, before the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report) was increased to the number of shares that would have been subject to such warrants if the warrant coverage was equal to 100% of the amount borrowed under the Keep Well Agreement in respect of which the applicable Keep Well Warrant was issued (instead of 20%) divided by $0.45 (i.e., 33,333,333 shares, or an additional 31,558,185 shares; 5,555,557 shares , or an additional 5,259,696 shares, as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report); and (c) the warrant coverage on borrowings under the Keep Well Agreement after the date of the Second Amendment was increased to a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to (x) 100% of the amount borrowed (instead of 20% of such amount) divided by (y) the greater of (i) the per share warrant exercise price (as adjusted as of the date of issuance of the applicable warrant) and (ii) $0.15 ($0.90 as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report) (the “Warrant Coverage Denominator”), subject to future adjustment as described below, and each warrant issued after the date of the Second Amendment has an exercise price equal to $0.45 per share ($2.70 per share as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report), subject to future adjustment as described below.

60



As a result of stockholder approvals obtained at the 2023 Special Meeting, the Company issued to the holder of each warrant issued under the Keep Well Agreement outstanding as of the date of such approval, in exchange for such warrant, a new warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that reflect the amendments to the warrants described above and below, including the increase in the warrant coverage and the decrease in the exercise price. In this section, the Company refers to the new warrants issued in exchange for outstanding warrants and to any warrants issued in connection with future borrowings under the Keep Well Agreement or in connection with the conversion of the principal amount of any Keep Well Note and/or accrued interest thereon into shares of the Company’s common stock as the “Keep Well Warrants.”

Under the terms of the Second Amendment, if the reverse stock split approved at the 2023 Special Meeting is effected, then:

(1) the exercise price of each warrant issued pursuant to the Keep Well Agreement that is outstanding as of the effective time of the reverse stock split would be reduced to the lesser of (i) the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over the five trading days beginning on the trading day that commences immediately after the effective time of the reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split Price”) and (ii) the exercise price after giving effect to the adjustment thereto as a result of the reverse stock split (the lesser of (i) and (ii), the “Post-Stock Split Price”), subject to further reduction as described below; and
(2) the Warrant Coverage Denominator would be reduced to the greater of $0.15 ($0.90 as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report) and the Post-Stock Split Price, subject to further reduction as described below.

As discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report, the reverse stock split approved at the 2023 Special Meeting was effected on July 27, 2023. After giving effect to such reverse stock split, and in accordance with the above, the Post-Stock Split Price was determined to be $2.44 on August 3, 2023. In addition, after giving effect to such reverse stock split, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Keep Well Warrants outstanding at the effective time of the reverse stock split were proportionally adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of the Keep Well Warrants remains unchanged.

Also under the terms of the Second Amendment: (i) the exercise price of each Keep Well Warrant outstanding as of September 1, 2023 was to be reduced to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 31, 2023, if such closing price is less than the Post-Stock Split Price; and (ii) the Warrant Coverage Denominator was to be reduced to the greater of (a) $0.15 (or $0.90 as adjusted after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report) and (b) the lesser of (x) the Post-Stock Split Price and (y) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 31, 2023. On September 1, 2023, the exercise price of each Keep Well Warrant and the Warrant Coverage Denominator (applicable to warrant issuances, if any, thereafter) was determined to be $0.92.

Additional Commitment Shares

As a result of stockholder approvals obtained at the 2023 Special Meeting, the Company issued to Acuitas 2,038,133 additional shares of the Company’s common stock (which, after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report, was adjusted to 339,689 shares of the Company's common stock).

Issuance Cap

Under the Second Amendment, the Company and Acuitas agreed that (i) under no circumstances will the Company issue any shares upon exercise of any warrant issued under the Keep Well Agreement or upon conversion of any Keep Well Note to the extent that, after giving effect to the issuance of any such shares, Acuitas (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own shares of the Company’s common stock representing more than 90% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the time of such issuance (the “Issuance Cap”); and (ii) in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Second Amendment), regardless of the actual number of securities of the Company beneficially owned by Acuitas and its affiliates at the effective time thereof, Acuitas shall not be entitled to receive any consideration pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction in respect of any shares underlying any of the warrants issued under the Keep Well Agreement or any shares issuable upon conversion of any Keep Well Note that would represent shares in excess of the Issuance Cap if beneficially owned by Acuitas and/or its affiliates immediately prior to such effective time, and all warrants and Keep Well Notes owned or beneficially owned by Acuitas and/or its affiliates at the effective time of such Fundamental Transaction, solely to the extent that, if exercised or converted, such warrants and Keep Well Notes would result in the issuance of such excess shares, will be cancelled and forfeited without consideration therefor, effective as of such effective time; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay all amounts owed under such Keep Well Notes in connection with such Fundamental Transaction.
61



Under the Fifth Amendment, the foregoing was eliminated.

Stockholders Agreement

Under the terms of the Keep Well Agreement, if Acuitas' beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock equals at least a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, Acuitas Capital and the Company agreed to enter into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) pursuant to which, during any period that Acuitas’ beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock equals at least 50% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, Acuitas agreed to vote the shares of the Company’s common stock it beneficially owns (a) in favor of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company that would require the Company’s board of directors to include not fewer than three independent directors at all times, (b) in favor of the election or re-election of independent directors nominated for election by the Company’s board of directors or by the nominating committee thereof unless the failure of a nominee to be elected or re-elected to the Company’s board of directors would not result in the Company having fewer than three independent directors following such election, and (c) against any proposal or action that would result in the Company’s board of directors having fewer than three independent directors at all times. In addition, under the Stockholders Agreement, the parties agreed that, during any period that such beneficial ownership of Acuitas affiliates equals at least 50% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, the Company will not enter into any transaction between the Company or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and Acuitas or any of its affiliates (excluding the Company and its affiliates), on the other hand, unless it is approved by a majority of the independent directors then serving on the Company’s board of directors. The Stockholders Agreement was entered into on February 21, 2023.

Prior to engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm for the next year’s audit, management will submit an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services to the Audit Committee for approval.

1. Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only an independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

2. Audit-Related services, if any, are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by an independent registered public accounting firm, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

3. Tax services, if any, include all services performed by an independent registered public accounting firm’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

4. Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories. The Company generally does not request such services from our independent registered public accounting firm.

Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires our independent registered public accounting firm and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage our independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging our independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Ontrak, Inc.,


Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ontrak, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Accounting for Debt and Equity Transactions

As described in Notes 8, 9 and 10 to the financial statements, the Company entered into a debt amendment in October 2023, and conversion of debt, a public offering and private placement, in November 2023, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of (i) 31,674,254 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) 24,241,265 pre-funded warrants exercisable for shares of common stock, and (iii) 84,748,852 common warrants exercisable for shares of common stock. Based on the specific terms in the agreements and the applicable authoritative guidance, the Company determined that the pre-funded warrants and common warrants should be classified as permanent equity. The Company was also required to apply complex accounting guidance to determine the appropriate accounting for the amendment and conversion of the debt, including complexities in determining the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

We identified the assessment of the appropriate accounting and balance sheet classification of the pre-funded warrants and the common warrants as equity or liability as well as the accounting and valuation of amended debt and equity instruments issued as a critical audit matter due to the complexity in assessing the instruments features, which requires management to interpret and apply the complex terms in the agreements to the appropriate application of accounting authoritative guidance. As such, there was a high degree of auditor judgement and subjectivity, and significant audit effort was required in performing procedures to evaluate management’s conclusions.
F-2



Addressing the critical audit matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included, among others, (i) obtaining an understanding of and evaluating the design of controls related to accounting over financial reporting, including complex transactions; (ii) obtaining the agreements and evaluating the terms and conditions of the agreements and assessing the reasonableness of management’s interpretation and application of the appropriate accounting authoritative guidance; in assessing the appropriateness of conclusions reached by management by (a) evaluating the underlying terms of the agreements, (b) assessing the appropriateness of management’s application of the authoritative accounting guidance and (c) evaluating the methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Organization
Company Overview
Ontrak, Inc. (“Ontrak,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered and technology-enabled behavioral healthcare company, whose mission is to help improve the health and save the lives of as many people as possible. The Company's technology-enabled platform utilizes claim-based analytics and predictive modeling to provide analytic insights throughout the delivery of our personalized care program. The Company's program predicts people whose chronic disease will improve with behavior change, recommends effective care pathways that people are willing to follow, and engages and guides them to and through the care and treatment they need. By combining predictive analytics with human engagement, we deliver improved member health and validated outcomes and savings to healthcare payors.
The Company's integrated, technology-enabled solutions are designed to provide healthcare solutions to members with behavioral conditions that cause or exacerbate chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and congestive heart failure, which result in high medical costs. Ontrak has a unique ability to engage these members, who may not otherwise seek behavioral healthcare, leveraging proprietary enrollment capabilities built on deep insights into the drivers of care avoidance. Ontrak integrates evidence-based psychosocial and medical interventions delivered either in-person or via telehealth, along with care coaches who address the social and environmental determinants of health. The Ontrak programs seek to improve member health and deliver validated cost savings to healthcare payors.


Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Ontrak, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entities (VIEs). The accompanying consolidated financial statements for Ontrak, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and instructions to Form 10-K and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates as one segment.

The Company generates revenues from fees charged for the services it provides to commercial (employer funded), managed Medicare Advantage, managed Medicaid and duel eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) populations. The Company also generates revenues from the fees charged for mental health and wellbeing support services it provides to members of employer customers under our LifeDojo wellbeing solution. The Company aims to increase the number of members that are eligible for its solutions by signing new contracts and identifying more eligible members within customers with whom the Company has existing contracts.
We have incurred significant net losses and negative operating cash flows since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur net losses and negative operating cash flow, in part due to the negative impact on our operations by customer terminations. As of December 31 2023, our total cash was $9.7 million and we had working capital of approximately $8.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our average monthly cash burn rate from operations was $1.3 million.

On November 14, 2023, the Notes Conversion, the Public Offering and the Private Placement were completed. All amounts we owed under then outstanding Keep Well Notes, other than $7.0 million, was converted into shares of our common stock in the Notes Conversion, and $5.0 million of such $7.0 million, was applied toward the purchase price of the securities the Company issued in the Private Placement. We raised net proceeds of approximately $5.3 million in the Public Offering, and $6.0 million of restricted cash which was held by us in escrow together with $5.0 million of Keep Well Note was applied toward the purchase price of the securities the Company issued in the Private Placement.

As of December 31, 2023, approximately $2.1 million of secured debt, including accrued paid-in-kind interest, was outstanding under a Keep Well Note, which matures on May 14, 2026, unless it becomes due and payable in full earlier, whether by acceleration or otherwise. On March 28, 2024, the Company and Acuitas Capital LLC ("Acuitas") entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Keep Well Agreement, pursuant to which up to a total of $15.0 million of senior secured convertible promissory notes may be issued through April 2025, with the initial note for $1.5 million (the “Initial Demand Note”) issued on April 5, 2024 (see Note 14 below for more information).
F-9



Acuitas, in its sole discretion, may purchase from the Company, and the Company will issue and sell to Acuitas, up to an additional $13.5 million in principal amount of Demand Notes, at such time and in such principal amounts as specified in the Sixth Amendment to the Keep Well Agreement (discussed in Note 14 below).
Throughout 2022 and in March 2023, as part of the Company's continued cost saving measures to reduce its operating costs and to better align with its previously stated strategic initiatives, the Company implemented a number of reductions in workforce and vendor cost optimization plans. The Company began realizing the full effect of these cost saving measures in 2022 and 2023, including a decrease in the Company's operating costs and an improvement in the Company's average monthly cash flow from operations. In February 2024, the Company implemented an additional reduction in workforce to reduce its operating costs. These cost optimization plans were necessary to right size the Company's business commensurate with its then current customer base.

From March 28, 2024 through April 2, 2024, the Company received a total of $1.9 million of cash proceeds from the exercise of Public Offering Warrants by certain holders thereof for a total of 5,166,664 shares of the Company's common stock (see Note 14 below). As of the date of the filing of this report, approximately $3.7 million of secured debt, including accrued paid-in-kind interest, was outstanding under the Keep Well Agreement, $1.5 million of which is payable upon demand of the holder, and the balance of which matures on May 14, 2026, unless it becomes due and payable in full earlier, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
Management plans to continue executing its strategy to increase liquidity by continuing to (i) explore other sources of capital for future liquidity needs; (ii) manage operating costs by strategically pursuing cost optimization initiatives; and (iii) pursue executing our growth strategy by: (a) expanding sales and marketing resources to acquire new and diverse customers across major health plans, value based provider groups and self-insurance employers; (b) executing on our better market penetration strategy by providing full scale customized behavioral health solutions, addressing customer needs across all member acuity levels while mitigating vendor fatigue by becoming a principal customer partner; (c) leveraging our AI technology and new predictive algorithms to improve identification and outreach, create more efficiencies, enhance coaching solutions and create more proof points; and (d) opportunistically pursuing partnerships that we believe will accelerate growth.
We will need additional capital to successfully execute our growth strategy. In addition to revenue from business operations, since April 2022, the Company's primary source of working capital has historically been borrowings under the Keep Well Agreement (as defined in Note 9 below) and raising capital in equity offerings. We may seek to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings, however, when we can affect such financings and how much capital we can raise depends on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our determination as to the appropriate sources of funding for our operations. In addition, under the securities purchase agreement we entered into in connection with the public offering completed in November 2023, we are generally prohibited from issuing shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents for capital raising purposes through May 12, 2024; however, from and after February 12, 2024, we may issue shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents for capital raising purposes if the per share price is $0.60 or greater. There can be no assurance that other capital will be available when needed or that, if available, it will be obtained on terms favorable to us and our stockholders, that we will be successful in implementing cost optimization initiatives, or that we will be successful in executing our growth strategy. In addition, the Keep Well Agreement contains various financial and other covenants, and any non-compliance with those covenants could result in an acceleration of the repayment of the amounts outstanding thereunder. Furthermore, equity or debt financings may have a dilutive effect on the holdings of our existing stockholders, and debt financings may subject us to restrictive covenants, operational restrictions and security interests in our assets.

Regardless of our success in raising additional capital, we expect our cash on hand as of December 31, 2023, together with the $1.9 million of cash proceeds we received from the exercise of Public Offering Warrants (discussed in Note 14) and the amount potentially available for borrowing under the Sixth Amendment to the Keep Well Agreement, will be sufficient to meet our obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date the financial statements in this report are released.
Reverse Stock Split

At the special meeting of the Company's stockholders held in February 2023 (the “2023 Special Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to give the Company’s Board of Directors the authority, at its discretion, to file a certificate of amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of our outstanding common stock at a ratio that is not less than 1:4 and not greater than 1:6, without reducing the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock, with the final ratio to be selected by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion, and to be effected, if at all, in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors at any time within one year of the date of the 2023 Special Meeting without further approval or authorization of the Company’s stockholders.
F-10




On July 27, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware implementing a 1-for-6 reverse stock split. Fractional shares of the Company’s common stock resulting from the reverse split were automatically rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a post-split basis at the open of trading on July 28, 2023. The Company’s common stock continues to trade under the symbol “OTRK,” but was assigned a new CUSIP number (683373302).

All restricted stock units, stock options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and securities convertible or exchangeable for shares of the Company’s common stock (including the Series A Preferred Stock) outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split, and the shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans immediately prior to the reverse stock split, was adjusted by dividing the applicable number of shares of common stock by six and, as applicable, multiplying the exercise price or conversion price by six or dividing the exchange rate by six. In addition, as discussed in Note 9 below, the exercise price of the Keep Well Warrants and the conversion price of the Keep Well Notes were subject to other adjustment mechanisms. For additional information regarding the effect of the reverse stock split on the Keep Well Warrants and the Keep Well Notes, see the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2023 Special Meeting, a copy of which was filed with the SEC on January 20, 2023.

All common share and common stock per share amounts presented herein for all periods have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the 1-for-6 reverse stock split.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include expense accruals, accounts receivable allowances, accrued claims payable, the useful life of assets subject to depreciation and amortization, revenue recognition and shared-based compensation. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from contracts with customers as it satisfies its performance obligations to customers and their members enrolled in our Ontrak program. The Ontrak program service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring progress in a manner that depicts the transfer of services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the “transaction price”). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including identification of the performance obligation and the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company considers the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, such as the judgment and actions of third parties.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents billed, but unrecognized revenue, and is comprised of fees billed or received in advance of the delivery or completion of the services when revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Deferred revenue is recognized as our performance obligation is satisfied over the length of the Ontrak program as our services are delivered.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries related to care coaches, outreach specialists and other staff directly involved in member care, healthcare provider claims payments, and fees charged by third party administrators for processing these claims.
F-11



Salaries and fees charged by third party administrators for processing claims are expensed when incurred and healthcare provider claims payments are recognized in the period in which an eligible member receives services.
Commissions
Commissions paid to our sales force and engagement specialists are deferred as these amounts are incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and are recoverable from future revenue that gave rise to the commissions. Commissions for initial customer contracts and member enrollments are deferred on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful life, which has been determined to be six years and nine months, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, amortization expense relating to deferred commission costs was $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs primarily include personnel and related expenses, including third-party services, for software development, engineering and information technology infrastructure development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Company's cash balance does not contain any cash equivalents on its consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Property & Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as noted below. We capitalize computer software that meet both the definition of internal-use software and defined criteria for capitalization. See discussion below under "Capitalized Internal Use Software Costs" for more information.

Estimated Useful Lives (years)
Software 3
Computers and equipment
3 - 7
Right of use assets - finance leases 3
Leasehold improvements 5

Capitalized Internal Use Software Costs

Costs of computer software obtained or developed for internal use are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles— Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Certain costs in the development of our internal use software are capitalized when the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that the project will be completed and performed as intended. These capitalized costs include personnel and related expenses for employees and costs of third-party consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to internal-use software projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Costs incurred for significant upgrades and enhancements to the Company’s internal use software solutions are also capitalized. Costs incurred for training, maintenance and minor modifications or enhancements are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is carried at historical cost, not amortized, and subject to write-down, as needed, based upon an impairment analysis that we perform annually on October 1 or more frequently if an event occurs or change in circumstances indicates that the asset may be impaired. The Company operates as one reporting unit and the fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using quoted market prices in active markets of the Company’s stock. The implied fair value of goodwill is compared to the carrying value of goodwill as of the testing date, and an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value, if any.
F-12



The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2023 and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed.

Definite-lived intangible assets include acquired software technology and customer relationships resulting from a business acquisition. The Company amortizes such definite-lived intangible assets on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.

Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event the undiscounted future cash flow attributable to the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Changes in estimates of future cash flows attributable to the long-lived assets could result in a write-down of the asset in a future period.

Debt

The Company accounts for debt in accordance with ASC 470, Debt and records specific incremental costs paid to third parties in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are deferred as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability on its consolidated balance sheet. The deferred financing costs are amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. The Company accounts for amendments to debt agreement in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments to determine whether debt modification or debt extinguishment is applicable. Upon an amendment, previously capitalized debt issuance costs are expensed and included in the calculation of gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, if the Company determines that there has been a substantial modification of the related debt and extinguishment of debt applies. If the Company determines that there has not been a substantial modification of the related debt, modification of debt applies and any previously capitalized debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over the term of the new debt instrument.

Warrants

The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants that are issued, as either liability or equity, by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and then in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. Under ASC 480, warrants are considered liability classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the issuer to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or must or may require settlement by issuing variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815, in order to conclude equity classification, the Company assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815 or other applicable GAAP. After all relevant assessments are made, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified warrants are required to be accounted for at fair value both on the date of issuance and on subsequent accounting period ending dates, with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the statements of operations as a gain or loss. For equity classified warrants, no changes in fair value are recognized after the issuance date.

Leases

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the reasonably certain lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We recognize ROU lease assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement on our consolidated balance sheet based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using a discount rate determined based on our incremental borrowing rate since the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable. We elected the package of practical expedients, which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification of any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We elected the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component. We also elected the hindsight practical expedient, which allows us to use hindsight in determining the lease term. We do not record an ROU asset and corresponding lease liability for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”).
F-13



The terms in our leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. Judgment is required in our assessment as to whether renewal or termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised and factors such as contractual terms compared to current market rates, the importance of the facility and location to the Company’s operations, among others, are considered. Lease payments are made in accordance with the lease terms and lease expense, including short-term lease expense, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Share-Based Compensation
Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units – Employees and Directors
Stock-based compensation for stock options and RSUs granted is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period of the award). The Company estimates the fair value of RSU awards based on the closing stock price of our common shares on the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Stock Options and Warrants – Non-employees
Stock-based compensation for stock options and warrants granted to non-employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the non-employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period of the award). The Company estimates the fair value of non-employee stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
For options and warrants issued as compensation to non-employees for services that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the time of issuance, the estimated value is recorded in equity and expensed when the services are performed and benefit is received. For unvested shares, the change in fair value during the period is recognized in expense using the graded vesting method.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. To date, no current income tax liability has been recorded due to the Company's accumulated net losses.
The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and a
valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not expected to
be realized. The Company's net deferred tax assets have been fully reserved by a valuation allowance.

Fair Value Measurements 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

F-14



Level Input:
Input Definition:
Level I
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
Level II
Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level I, that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level III
Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following tables summarize fair value measurements by level at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

(3) Included in "Restricted cash - long term" on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. 

Financial instruments classified as Level III in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 represent liabilities measured at market value on a recurring basis and include warrant liabilities relating to Ticking Warrants issued in connection with an amendment to our debt agreement, as discussed in Note 9, and contingent consideration relating to a stock price guarantee provided in an acquisition (see further discussion below regarding this contingent consideration). In accordance with current accounting rules, the warrant liabilities and contingent consideration liability are marked-to-market each quarter-end until they are completely settled or expire. The fair value of the warrant liabilities was valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model, using both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions consistent with those used in the estimate of fair value of employee stock options. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was valued using the Monte Carlo simulation model, using both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions.

The carrying value of the Keep Well Notes is estimated to approximate their respective fair values as the variable interest rate of the notes approximates the market rate for debt with similar terms and risk characteristics.
The fair value measurements using significant Level III inputs, and changes therein, was as follows (in thousands):

For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded a gain of $0.04 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to change in the fair value of warrant liabilities in "Other income (expense), net" on our consolidated statements of operations.

Variable Interest Entities
Generally, an entity is defined as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under current accounting rules if it either lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or it is structured such that the holders of the voting rights do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. When determining whether an entity that meets the definition of a business, qualifies for a scope exception from applying VIE guidance, the Company considers whether: (i) it has participated significantly in the design of the entity, (ii) it has provided more than half of the total financial support to the entity, and (iii) substantially all of the activities of the VIE are conducted on its behalf. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economics of the VIE and has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary assessment must be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis.
As discussed under the heading Management Services Agreement (“MSA”) below, the Company has an MSA with a Texas nonprofit health organization (“TIH”) and a California Professional Corporation (“CIH”). Under the MSAs, the equity owners of TIH and CIH have only a nominal equity investment at risk, and the Company absorbs or receives a majority of the entity’s expected losses or benefits.
F-16



The Company participates significantly in the design of these MSAs. The Company also agrees to provide working capital loans to allow for TIH and CIH to fund their day to day obligations. Substantially all of the activities of TIH and CIH include its decision making, approval or are conducted for its benefit, as evidenced by the facts that (i) the operations of TIH and CIH are conducted primarily using the Company's licensed network of providers and (ii) under the MSA, the Company agrees to provide and perform all non-medical management and administrative services for the entities. Payment of the Company's management fee is subordinate to payments of the obligations of TIH and CIH, and repayment of the working capital loans is not guaranteed by the equity owner of the affiliated medical group or other third party. Creditors of TIH and CIH do not have recourse to the Company's general credit.
Based on the design of the entity and the lack of sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional working capital loans the Company has determined that TIH and CIH are VIEs. The Company is the primary beneficiary required to consolidate the entities as it has power and potentially significant interests in the entities. Accordingly, the Company is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the managed treatment centers.
Management Services Agreement
In April 2018, the Company executed an MSA with TIH and in July 2018, the Company executed an MSA with CIH. Under the MSAs, the Company licenses to TIH and CIH the right to use its proprietary treatment programs and related trademarks and provide all required day-to-day business management services, including, but not limited to:
•general administrative support services;
•information systems;
•recordkeeping;
•billing and collection;
•obtaining and maintaining all federal, state and local licenses, certifications and regulatory permits.
All clinical matters relating to the operation of TIH and CIH and the performance of clinical services through the network of providers shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the TIH and CIH Board free of any control or direction from the Company.
TIH pays the Company a monthly fee equal to the aggregate amount of (a) its costs of providing management services (including reasonable overhead allocated to the delivery of its services and including salaries, rent, equipment, and tenant improvements incurred for the benefit of the medical group, provided that any capitalized costs will be amortized over a five-year period), (b) 10%-15% of the foregoing costs, and (c) any performance bonus amount, as determined by TIH at its sole discretion. The Company's management fee is subordinate to payment of the entities’ obligations.
CIH pays the Company a monthly fee equal to the aggregate amount of (a) its costs of providing management services (including reasonable overhead allocated to the delivery of its services and including salaries, rent, equipment, and tenant improvements incurred for the benefit of the entity, provided that any capitalized costs will be amortized over a five-year period), and (b) any performance bonus, as determined by CIH at its sole discretion.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to a concentration of risk, include cash and accounts receivable. All of our customers are based in the United States at this time and we are not subject to exchange risk for accounts receivable.

The Company maintains its cash in domestic financial institutions subject to insurance coverage issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC"). Under FDIC rules, the company is entitled to aggregate coverage as defined by the Federal regulation per account type per separate legal entity per financial institution. The Company has incurred no losses as a result of any credit risk exposures.
For more information about concentration of our accounts receivable and revenue, see Note 4 below.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers" (“ASU 2021-08”), which improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability, and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in ASU 2021-08, however, do not affect the accounting for other assets or liabilities that may arise from revenue contracts with customers in accordance with Topic 606, such as refund liabilities, or in a business combination, such as customer-related intangible assets and contract-based intangible assets. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2023 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10, “Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2020-10”), which includes amendments to improve consistency of disclosures by ensuring that all guidance that require disclosures or provides an option for an entity to provide information in the notes to the financial statement is codified in the disclosure section of the codification. ASU 2020-10 is effective for public companies, other than smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-10 on January 1, 2023 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires recognition of an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses as an allowance. For companies eligible to be smaller reporting company as defined by the SEC, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those annual periods.
F-18



The adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), related to income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), related to the disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis.

Customer Notification

On October 10, 2023, the Company was notified by a health plan customer of its intent not to continue using the Company’s services after February 2024. The customer advised us to cease enrollment of any new members from that customer immediately. The customer also informed us that its decision was related to the customer’s change in strategy and not reflective of the performance or value of the Company’s services. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company billed this customer approximately $4.3 million, representing 33.8% of the Company's total revenue.
Other receivable - Insurance Recoveries
The Company is involved in various securities class actions and purported stockholder derivative complaints, and the Company has incurred legal costs related to the SEC/Department of Justice (the "DOJ") investigation of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, as described in Note 13 below. The Company maintains a corporate liability insurance policy which provides coverage for legal defense costs. The terms of this insurance policy provide that the insurer will pay the third party directly on behalf of the Company for such legal defense costs. Based on the Company's analysis, the Company's obligation as the primary obligor of the invoices for legal defense costs has not been transferred to the insurer and as such, the Company records these costs as an other receivable with a corresponding liability on its consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the Company submitted cumulative claims for legal defense costs totaling approximately $3.1 million, of which $2.7 million has been paid by the insurer to the third parties. The Company has $0.4 million of claims for legal defense costs recorded as other receivable included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" and $0.4 million as part of "Other accrued liabilities" on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

Note 8. Common Stock and Preferred Stock
Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants, to the extent dilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.


Basic and diluted net loss per common share were as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Year Ended December 31,
2023 2022
Net loss $ (27,920) $ (51,573)
Dividends on preferred stock - declared and undeclared (8,954) (8,954)
Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ (36,874) $ (60,527)
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding 11,159  3,877 
Net loss per common share - basic and diluted $ (3.30) $ (15.61)

Included in the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2023 is a total of 22,365,731 common shares issuable upon the exercise of Public Offering Pre-funded Warrants and Private Placement Pre-funded Warrants (described in Note 9 below), which 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 attributable to common stockholders.

F-22



The following common equivalent shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as their effect was anti-dilutive:

December 31,
2023 2022
Warrants to purchase common stock 91,878,134  262,713 
Options to purchase common stock 1,162,109  815,970

Common Stock
In November 2023, the Company completed its previously announced public offering (the “Public Offering”), wherein the Company issued (a) 4,592,068 shares of its common stock and 9,184,136 warrants to purchase up to 9,184,136 shares of its common stock at a combined public offering price of $0.60 per share of common stock and accompanying warrants (the “Public Offering Price”), and (b) 5,907,932 pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 5,907,932 shares of its common stock (the “Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrants”) and 11,815,864 warrants to purchase up to 11,815,864 shares of its common stock at a combined public offering price of $0.5999 per Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying warrants, which represents the per share public offering price for the common stock and accompanying warrants less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrant. The Company refers to the warrants sold in the Public Offering accompanying the shares of common stock and the Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrants as the “Public Offering Warrants.” The Company received gross proceeds of $6.3 million from the Public Offering ($5.3 million net proceeds, net of approximately $1.0 million of offering related fees and expenses).
In addition, in November 2023, in accordance with the Fifth Amendment, which is defined and described in Note 9 below, and before the closing of the Public Offering, the Notes Conversion was effected, pursuant to which the Company issued to Acuitas 18,054,791 shares of the Company’s common stock. In December 2023, in accordance with the Fifth Amendment, the Company issued to Acuitas 9,027,395 additional shares of common stock, which when added with the shares of common stock issued in respect of the Notes Conversion, equaled the total number of shares of common stock that the Company would have issued in respect of the Notes Conversion if the Keep Well Notes converted in the Notes Conversion were converted at a conversion price equal to the Public Offering Price. See Note 9 below for more information.
In February 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Keep Well Agreement, as a result of stockholder approvals obtained at the 2023 Special Meeting, the Company issued to Acuitas (as defined in Note 9 below) 2,038,133 additional shares of the Company's common stock (which, after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above, was adjusted to 339,689 shares of the Company's common stock).
On September 2, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Keep Well Agreement, as discussed in Note 10, the Company issued 739,645 shares of common stock (which, after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above, was adjusted to 123,275 shares of the Company’s common stock) to Acuitas subsequent to obtaining stockholder approval for such issuance on August 29, 2022 at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders.
On August 2, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors for the purchase and sale of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (which, after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above, was adjusted to 833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock) at a purchase price of $0.80 per share in a registered direct offering. The offering closed on August 4, 2022 and the Company received total net proceeds of approximately $3.3 million (excluding approximately $0.7 million of fees and expenses). The Company used the net proceeds from the offering for working capital purposes.
Preferred Stock

In 2020, the Company completed the issuance of a total of 3,770,265 shares of 9.50% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The Company, generally, may not redeem the Series A Preferred Stock until August 25, 2025, except upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event or Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations establishing the Series A Preferred Stock), and on and after August 25, 2025, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.
F-23



The Series A Preferred Stock has no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by the Company or exchanged for shares of common stock in connection with a Delisting Event or Change of Control. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, but have limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay dividends in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock for six or more quarters, whether or not declared or consecutive and in certain other events, including the right, voting separately as a single class, to elect two individuals to the Company's Board of Directors. Such director election right commenced on August 31, 2023 since the Company did not pay the dividend payable on that date or in respect of the five prior quarters (see discussion below).

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock of record at the close of business of each respective record date for quarterly dividends (February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year) are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 9.50% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $2.375 per annum per share or $0.593750 per quarter per share). Dividends, if and when declared by our Board of Directors, are payable quarterly in arrears, every February 28, May 30, August 31, and November 30, as applicable. In 2022, our Board of Directors declared the first quarterly dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock for holders of record on February 15, 2022 and paid cash dividends on February 28, 2022. Thereafter, no dividends have been declared by our Board of Directors. As such, at December 31, 2023, we had total undeclared dividends of $16.4 million.

On October 11, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq informing the Company that it is not eligible for a second 180-day compliance period within which to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for the Series A Preferred Stock and that Nasdaq determined that the Preferred Stock would be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market and would be suspended at the opening of business on October 20, 2023. On November 20, 2023, The Nasdaq Stock Market filed a Form 25-NSE with the SEC to remove the Series A Preferred Stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Series A Preferred Stock currently trades in the over-the-counter OTC Markets system.

Note 9. Debt

On April 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement (the “Original Keep Well Agreement”) with Acuitas Capital LLC (“Acuitas Capital”), an entity indirectly wholly owned and controlled by Terren S. Peizer, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. On August 12, 2022, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into an amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement in connection with the appointment of a collateral agent under the Original Keep Well Agreement (the “First Amendment”). On November 19, 2022, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into another amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment (the “Second Amendment”), on December 30, 2022, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into another amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment (the “Third Amendment”), on June 23, 2023, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into another amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) and on October 31, 2023, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into another amendment to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Company refers to the Original Keep Well Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment, as the “Keep Well Agreement” and to Acuitas Capital, together with any of its transferees or affiliates under the Keep Well Agreement, as “Acuitas.”

The Original Keep Well Agreement

Under the terms of the Original Keep Well Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, the Company could borrow from Acuitas up to $25.0 million, and in connection with each such borrowing, the Company agreed to issue to Acuitas a senior secured note (each, an “Original Keep Well Note”) with a principal amount equal to the amount borrowed. Subject to obtaining approval of the Company’s stockholders as required by applicable Nasdaq listing rules, which approval was obtained at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on August 29, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders”), in connection with each Original Keep Well Note issued by the Company, the Company agreed to issue to Acuitas a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (each, an “Original Keep Well Warrant”). The number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying each Original Keep Well Warrant was to be equal to (y) the product of the principal amount of the applicable Keep Well Note and 20% divided by (z) the exercise price of the applicable Original Keep Well Warrant, which was $1.69 per share, the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the time the parties entered into the Original Keep Well Agreement.
F-24



The maturity date of the Original Keep Well Notes was September 1, 2023.

In connection with entering into the Original Keep Well Agreement, subject to obtaining approval of the Company’s stockholders as required by applicable Nasdaq listing rules, which approval was obtained at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company agreed to issue 739,645 shares of its common stock to Acuitas (or an entity affiliated with Acuitas, as designated by Acuitas) (the “Original Commitment Shares”). The Original Commitment Shares were issued to Acuitas in September 2022, and after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above, was adjusted to 123,275 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Second Amendment, the Third Amendment and Fourth Amendment

Under the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment, many of the conditions precedent to the Company’s ability to borrow, and Acuitas’ obligation to lend, were eliminated, including the Funding Condition, the Company’s obligation to pay accrued interest on a monthly basis was eliminated, and instead accrued interest will be added to the principal amount of the applicable Keep Well Note (as defined below) (and of any other secured note issued under the Keep Well Agreement), the financial covenant that the Company’s consolidated recurring revenue be at least $15.0 million was reduced to $11.0 million, however, the satisfaction of such covenant as a condition to funding was eliminated, and certain other affirmative and negative covenants of the Company, the satisfaction of which were conditions to funding, were also eliminated as conditions to funding, and (a) the minimum conversion price of the Keep Well Notes and (b) the minimum dollar amount to which the denominator will be reduced for purposes of calculating the warrant coverage on future borrowings under the Keep Well Agreement (as discussed below), was revised to be $0.15 (subject to adjustment for stock splits or other recapitalizations that affect all common stockholders proportionately). The $0.15 referenced in the preceding sentence was adjusted to $0.90 after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above.

Below is a summary of certain other amendments effected by the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment:

•the maturity date of the Original Keep Well Notes (and of any other secured notes issued under the Keep Well Agreement) was extended from September 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 in the Second Amendment, further extended to September 30, 2024 in the Fourth Amendment, and further extended to May 14, 2026 in the Fifth Amendment, as discussed below, subject to acceleration for certain customary events of default, including for failure to make payments when due, breaches by the Company of certain covenants and representations in the Keep Well Agreement, defaults by the Company under other agreements related to indebtedness, the Company’s bankruptcy or dissolution, and a change of control of the Company;
•per the Second Amendment, the remaining amount available to be borrowed under the Keep Well Agreement was increased from $10.7 million to $14.0 million and the provision that previously reduced the amount available to be borrowed by the net proceeds the Company received from equity financings was eliminated;
•per the Second Amendment, the funding structure was changed from borrowings as needed from time to time at the election of the Company, to the Company agreeing to borrow, and Acuitas agreeing to lend, subject to the conditions in the Keep Well Agreement (which conditions were also amended as described above), the entire then-remaining amount of $14.0 million as follows: $4.0 million in each of January (which was borrowed on January 5, 2023), March (which was borrowed on March 6, 2023) and June 2023, and $2.0 million in September 2023; the funding structure was further amended in the Fourth Amendment with respect to the $6.0 million remaining available amount to be funded, as described below;
•per the Fourth Amendment, in lieu of the $6.0 million remaining available amount to be funded as described above (and in full satisfaction of Acuitas’ obligation to purchase Keep Well Notes from the Company), Acuitas agreed to deliver to the Company for deposit and to be held by the Company in a segregated account established by the Company until such time of qualified withdrawal and issuance of a Keep Well Note, as described below (the proceeds so deposited, the “Escrowed Funds” and the account into which the proceeds are so deposited, the “Escrow Account”): (i) $4.0 million on June 23, 2023 (which was received by the Company on June 26, 2023); and (ii) $2.0 million on September 1, 2023 (which was received by the Company on September 7, 2023);
•per the Fourth Amendment, any time, and from time to time, that the Company has less than $1.0 million of Qualified Cash (as defined in Fourth Amendment), the Company may withdraw $1.0 million of Escrowed Funds (or any lesser remaining amount of Escrowed Funds) from the Escrow Account; each such withdrawal will be treated as a sale by the Company to Acuitas of a Keep Well Note with a principal amount equal to the amount withdrawn by the Company and in connection with each such withdrawal, the Company will also issue a Keep Well Warrant to Acuitas; and
F-25



•per the Fourth Amendment, if the Company does not complete a Qualified Financing (as defined below) on or prior to October 31, 2023, then, on October 31, 2023, the Company must withdraw all of the Escrowed Funds (other than any accrued interest thereon, all of which will belong to the Company) then on deposit in the Escrow Account, and such withdrawal will be treated as a sale by the Company to Acuitas of a Keep Well Note, and in connection with such withdrawal, the Company will also issue a Keep Well Warrant to Acuitas.

In the event the Company completes a Qualified Financing, all of the Escrowed Funds (other than any accrued interest thereon, all of which will belong to the Company) then on deposit in the Escrow Account will be invested in the Qualified Financing on behalf of Acuitas on the same terms as all other investors in the Qualified Financing, and the Company’s obligation to sell to Acuitas, and Acuitas’ obligation to purchase from the Company, any further Keep Well Notes will thereupon be deemed discharged with respect to the amount so invested.

A “Qualified Financing” generally means any financing in which the Company issues or sells any of its equity securities for cash to one or more third party investors resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10.0 million exclusive of any amount invested by Acuitas in such financing. For a discussion regarding an amendment to the definition of Qualified Financing as well as investment of Escrowed Funds and conversion of Keep Well Notes, as described below, see "Fifth Amendment to Keep Well Agreement and Letter Agreement" below.

Conversion of Keep Well Notes

Following approval of the Company’s stockholders obtained at the 2023 Special Meeting held in February 2023, pursuant to the Second Amendment, Acuitas, at its option, has the right to convert the entire principal amount of the secured notes issued under the Keep Well Agreement, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.40 per share and (ii) the greater of (a) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable conversion date and (b) $0.15 (the “Conversion Right”). The $0.40 and $0.15 referenced in the preceding sentence are subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar corporate actions, and were adjusted to $2.39 and $0.90, respectively, after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above.

Each Original Keep Well Note outstanding as of the date of stockholder approval was deemed to be amended to contain the Conversion Right. The Company refers to such Original Keep Well Notes, as so amended, and to all other secured notes issued under the Keep Well Agreement, as the “Keep Well Notes.”

In addition, in connection with the conversion of the principal amount of any Keep Well Note and/or accrued interest thereon into shares of the Company’s common stock (as described above), the Company will issue to Acuitas a five-year warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, and the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to each such warrant will be equal to (x) 100% of the amount converted divided by (y) the conversion price of the Keep Well Note then in effect, and the exercise price of each such warrant will be equal to the conversion price of the Keep Well Note then in effect, subject to adjustment as described below.

Increase in Warrant Coverage and Other Adjustments

Following approval of the Company’s stockholders obtained at the 2023 Special Meeting, (a) the exercise price of the warrants issued under the Keep Well Agreement (both the Original Keep Well Warrants outstanding as of the date of the Second Amendment and those issued thereafter) was reduced to $0.45 per share ($2.70 per share as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above), which was the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the time the parties entered into the Second Amendment, and which is subject to future adjustment as described below; (b) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the warrants outstanding at the time of the 2023 Special Meeting (i.e., 1,775,148 shares, before the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above) was increased to the number of shares that would have been subject to such warrants if the warrant coverage was equal to 100% of the amount borrowed under the Keep Well Agreement in respect of which the applicable Keep Well Warrant was issued (instead of 20%) divided by $0.45 (i.e., 33,333,333 shares, or an additional 31,558,185 shares; 5,555,557 shares , or an additional 5,259,696 shares, as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above); and (c) the warrant coverage on borrowings under the Keep Well Agreement after the date of the Second Amendment was increased to a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to (x) 100% of the amount borrowed (instead of 20% of such amount) divided by (y) the greater of (i) the per share warrant exercise price (as adjusted as of the date of issuance of the applicable warrant) and (ii) $0.15 ($0.90 as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above) (the “Warrant Coverage Denominator”), subject to future adjustment as described below, and each warrant issued after the date of the Second Amendment has an exercise price equal to $0.45 per share ($2.70 per share as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above), subject to future adjustment as described below.

As a result of stockholder approvals obtained at the 2023 Special Meeting, the Company issued to the holder of each warrant issued under the Keep Well Agreement outstanding as of the date of such approval, in exchange for such warrant, a new warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that reflect the amendments to the warrants described above and below, including the increase in the warrant coverage and the decrease in the exercise price. The Company refers to the new warrants issued in exchange for outstanding warrants and to any warrants issued in connection with future borrowings under the Keep Well Agreement or in connection with the conversion of the principal amount of any Keep Well Note and/or accrued interest thereon into shares of the Company’s common stock as the “Keep Well Warrants.”

Under the terms of the Second Amendment, if the reverse stock split approved at the 2023 Special Meeting is effected, then:

(1) the exercise price of each warrant issued pursuant to the Keep Well Agreement that is outstanding as of the effective time of the reverse stock split would be reduced to the lesser of (i) the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over the five trading days beginning on the trading day that commences immediately after the effective time of the reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split Price”) and (ii) the exercise price after giving effect to the adjustment thereto as a result of the reverse stock split (the lesser of (i) and (ii), the “Post-Stock Split Price”), subject to further reduction as described below; and
(2) the Warrant Coverage Denominator would be reduced to the greater of $0.15 ($0.90 as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above) and the Post-Stock Split Price, subject to further reduction as described below.

As discussed in Note 2 above, the reverse stock split approved at the 2023 Special Meeting was effected on July 27, 2023. After giving effect to such reverse stock split, and in accordance with the above, the Post-Stock Split Price was determined to be $2.44 on August 3, 2023. In addition, after giving effect to such reverse stock split, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Keep Well Warrants outstanding at the effective time of the reverse stock split were proportionally adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of the Keep Well Warrants remains unchanged.

Also under the terms of the Second Amendment: (i) the exercise price of each Keep Well Warrant outstanding as of September 1, 2023 will be reduced to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 31, 2023, if such closing price is less than the Post-Stock Split Price; and (ii) the Warrant Coverage Denominator will be reduced to the greater of (a) $0.15 (or $0.90 as adjusted after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above) and (b) the lesser of (x) the Post-Stock Split Price and (y) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 31, 2023. As such, on September 1, 2023, the exercise price of each Keep Well Warrant and the Warrant Coverage Denominator (applicable to warrant issuances, if any, thereafter) was determined to be $0.92. The Company assessed the adjustment to the warrant exercise price on August 3, 2023 and September 1, 2023, as described above, and determined that application of the relative fair value method was appropriate in assessing and allocating the change in the fair value of the warrants related to such change in warrant exercise prices. As such, the Company recorded a total of $0.2 million of debt discount costs to the Keep Well Notes as of September 30, 2023, and such debt discount costs are accreted using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the Keep Well Notes.

Additional Commitment Shares

As a result of stockholder approvals obtained at the 2023 Special Meeting, the Company issued to Acuitas 2,038,133 additional shares of the Company’s common stock (which, after giving effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above, was adjusted to 339,689 shares of the Company's common stock).

Issuance Cap

The Company and Acuitas agreed that (i) under no circumstances will the Company issue any shares upon exercise of any warrant issued under the Keep Well Agreement or upon conversion of any Keep Well Note to the extent that, after giving effect to the issuance of any such shares, Acuitas (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own shares of the Company’s common stock representing more than 90% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the time of such issuance (the “Issuance Cap”); and (ii) in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Second Amendment), regardless of the actual number of securities of the Company beneficially owned by Acuitas and its affiliates at the effective time thereof, Acuitas shall not be entitled to receive any consideration pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction in respect of any shares underlying any of the warrants issued under the Keep Well Agreement or any shares issuable upon conversion of any Keep Well Note that would represent shares in excess of the Issuance Cap if beneficially owned by Acuitas and/or its affiliates immediately prior to such effective time, and all warrants and Keep Well Notes owned or beneficially owned by Acuitas and/or its affiliates at the effective time of such Fundamental Transaction, solely to the extent that, if exercised or converted, such warrants and Keep Well Notes would result in the issuance of such excess shares, will be cancelled and forfeited without consideration therefor, effective as of such effective time; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay all amounts owed under such Keep Well Notes in connection with such Fundamental Transaction.

Fifth Amendment to Keep Well Agreement and Letter Agreement

On October 31, 2023, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Master Note Purchase Agreement, as amended (the "Fifth Amendment"), which, among other things, provided the following:

Changes to Qualified Financing. Under the Fifth Amendment, the minimum amount to be raised in an equity financing for such financing to constitute a “Qualified Financing” was reduced from $10.0 million to $8.0 million, and the deadline by when a Qualified Financing must be completed before the Company is required to withdraw the Escrowed Funds was extended from October 31, 2023 to January 31, 2024. Under a letter agreement entered into on November 9, 2023, the minimum amount to be raised in an equity financing for such financing to constitute a “Qualified Financing” was further reduced to $6.0 million.

Conversion of Keep Well Notes. Under the Fifth Amendment, if the Company completes a Qualified Financing, Acuitas has agreed to convert into shares of the Company’s common stock the aggregate principal amount of the Keep Well Notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, minus (a) $7.0 million, minus (b) the principal amount of any Keep Well Notes purchased with funds from the Escrow Account prior to the closing of the Qualified Financing, if any, in accordance with the terms (including the conversion price) of the Keep Well Agreement and the Keep Well Notes (the “Notes Conversion”); provided that if the offering price per share at which the shares of common stock and accompanying warrants are sold to the public in the Qualified Financing (the “Offering Price”) is less than the conversion price at which Keep Well Notes are converted, upon the effectiveness of the Stockholder Approval Matters (as defined below): (1) we will issue to Acuitas such additional shares of common stock such that the total number of shares of common stock issued in respect of the Notes Conversion plus such additional shares of common stock would equal the number of shares that we would have issued in respect of the Notes Conversion if the Keep Well Notes converted in the Notes Conversion were converted at a conversion price equal to the Offering Price; and (2) the exercise price of the warrants issued to Acuitas in connection with the Notes Conversion (the “Conversion Warrants”) would be reduced to the Offering Price and the number of shares of common stock subject to the Conversion Warrants would be increased to the number of shares of common stock that would have been subject to the Conversion Warrants if the Keep Well Notes were converted at a conversion price equal to the Offering Price.

Private Placement. In lieu of the provisions set forth in the Fourth Amendment concerning the investment of Escrowed Funds in the offering that constitutes a Qualified Financing, the Fifth Amendment provided that if an offering constitutes a Qualified Financing, the Company and Acuitas will immediately prior to, or simultaneously with the closing of such offering, consummate a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of $11.0 million of an unregistered pre-funded warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrant”) and an unregistered warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Private Placement Warrant,” and together with the Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrant, the “Private Placement Securities”). The material terms of the Private Placement Securities will be substantially similar to the material terms of the pre-funded warrants and the warrants offered in the offering that constitutes a Qualified Financing, except that the Private Placement Securities will have registration rights. The consideration for the Private Placement Securities purchased by Acuitas will consist of (a) the Escrowed Funds then held in the Escrow Account, and (b) a reduction of the aggregate amounts outstanding under the Keep Well Notes (after giving effect to the Notes Conversion) to $2.0 million (the “Surviving Note”). Each Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrant will be sold together with two Private Placement Warrants with each Private Placement Warrant exercisable for one share of our common stock.

Surviving Note. Under the Fifth Amendment, the maturity date of the Surviving Note was extended from September 30, 2024 to May 14, 2026, which date is two years and six months after the closing date of the offering that constituted a Qualified Financing, unless the Surviving Note becomes due and payable in full earlier, whether by acceleration or otherwise. In addition, if the Offering Price is lower than $0.90, then, subject to the effectiveness of the Stockholder Approval Matters, the $0.90 floor on the conversion price of the Surviving Note will be replaced with the Offering Price. On December 20, 2023, upon the effectiveness of the Stockholder Approval Matters, the $0.90 conversion price of the Surviving Note was replaced with $0.60, the Public Offering Price, discussed below.

Stockholder Approval.
F-28



Under the Fifth Amendment, the Company is required to seek stockholder approval in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Listing Rules”) of (A) the issuance of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of (x) the warrants and the pre-funded warrants sold in the offering that constitutes a Qualified Financing and (y) the Private Placement Securities that, in the aggregate for clauses (x) and (y) above, are in excess of the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock permitted to be issued without such approval under Nasdaq’s listing rules (which amount is equal to 19.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately following the Notes Conversion and immediately prior to the closing of the offering that constitutes a Qualified Financing and/or the Private Placement), (B) the amendment to the conversion price of the Surviving Note described above, (C) the elimination of the Issuance Cap, and (D) any other terms of the offering that constitutes a Qualified Financing, the Private Placement and/or the Fifth Amendment that require approval of the Company’s stockholders under Nasdaq’s listing rules (collectively, the “Stockholder Approval Matters”).

Support Agreement. In connection with entering into the Fifth Amendment, on October 31, 2023, the Company and Acuitas entered into a support agreement pursuant to which Acuitas has agreed to vote the shares of the Company's common stock it beneficially owns in favor of the Stockholder Approval Matters.

Public Offering, Private Placement and Notes Conversion

On November 14, 2023, the Company completed its previously announced public offering (the “Public Offering”). In the Public Offering, the Company issued (a) 4,592,068 shares of its common stock and 9,184,136 warrants to purchase up to 9,184,136 shares of its common stock at a combined public offering price of $0.60 per share of common stock and accompanying warrants (the “Public Offering Price”), and (b) 5,907,932 pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 5,907,932 shares of its common stock (the “Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrants”) and 11,815,864 warrants to purchase up to 11,815,864 shares of its common stock at a combined public offering price of $0.5999 per Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying warrants, which represents the per share public offering price for the common stock and accompanying warrants less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrant. The Company refers to the warrants sold in the Public Offering accompanying the shares of common stock and the warrants accompanying the Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrants as the “Public Offering Warrants.” The Company received gross proceeds of $6.3 million from the Public Offering, and therefore the Public Offering constituted a Qualified Financing. Total net proceeds was approximately $5.3 million (net of approximately $1.0 million of offering related fees and expenses, not including the placement fee payable relating to the Private Placement discussed below). The Public Offering Warrants have an exercise price of $0.85 per share, subject to adjustment. The exercisability of the Public Offering Warrants are subject to the effectiveness of the Stockholder Approval Matters, and will expire five years from the effectiveness thereof.

In accordance with the Fifth Amendment, concurrent with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company issued to Humanitario Capital LLC, an affiliate of Acuitas Capital LLC, a Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase up to 18,333,333 shares of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and a Private Placement Warrant to purchase up to 36,666,666 shares of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, subject to adjustment, for total consideration of $11.0 million. The consideration for the Private Placement Securities consisted of (a) the $6.0 million in the Escrow Account that Acuitas previously delivered to the Company in June 2023 and September 2023 in accordance with the Keep Well Agreement (which $6.0 million was reclassified from restricted cash to unrestricted cash) and (b) $5.0 million of debt owed under the Keep Well Notes, which was cancelled. The Company wrote-off $1.5 million of debt discount in connection with $5.0 million Keep Well Notes cancelled. The Company paid placement fees of approximately $0.4 million in connection with the Private Placement.

The Company assessed and determined that the warrants issued in the Public Offering and Private Placement as described above qualified for equity classification and applied the relative fair value method to allocate proceeds from each Public Offering and Private Placement transactions to the respective warrants.

In accordance with the Fifth Amendment, on November 14, 2023 and before the closing of the Public Offering and Private Placement, the Notes Conversion was effected. In connection with the Notes Conversion, $16.2 million of Keep Well Notes were converted into 18,054,791 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company issued to Acuitas a Conversion Warrant to purchase up to 18,054,791 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.90 per share, which was the conversion price of the Keep Well Notes converted in the Notes Conversion. The Company wrote-off $3.7 million of debt discount in connection with the conversion of $16.2 million of Keep Well Notes.

On November 15, 2023, Acuitas, who owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of that date, executed and delivered to the Company a written consent approving the Stockholder Approval Matters. The Company filed an information statement regarding the Stockholder Approval Matters with the SEC on November 30, 2023 and mailed an information statement to the holders of its common stock so the Stockholder Approval Matters can become effective as soon as practicable. Under SEC rules, in the case of corporate actions taken by the consent of stockholders, the definitive information statement must be sent or given at least 20 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the corporation actions approved by the consent of stockholders may be taken.
F-29




Because the Public Offering Price was less than the conversion price at which Keep Well Notes were converted in the Notes Conversion, (1) the Company issued to Acuitas 9,027,395 additional shares of common stock, which when added with the shares of common stock issued in respect of the Notes Conversion, equaled the total number of shares of common stock that the Company would have issued in respect of the Notes Conversion if the Keep Well Notes converted in the Notes Conversion were converted at a conversion price equal to the Public Offering Price; and (2) the exercise price of the Conversion Warrant was reduced to the Public Offering Price and the number of shares of common stock subject to the Conversion Warrant was increased by an additional 9,027,395 shares to equal the number of shares of common stock that would have been subject to the Conversion Warrant if the Keep Well Notes converted in the Notes Conversion were converted at a conversion price equal to the Public Offering Price.

Covenants

The Keep Well Agreement contains customary covenants that must be complied with by the Company, including, among other covenants, restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur debt, grant liens, make certain investments and acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase equity interests, repay certain debt, amend certain contracts, enter into certain asset sale transactions, and covenants that require the Company to, among other things, provide annual, quarterly and monthly financial statements, together with related compliance certificates, maintain its property in good repair, maintain insurance and comply with applicable laws. Subject to certain customary exceptions, the Company also agreed not to incur any indebtedness or issue any shares of its capital stock or capital stock equivalents without Acuitas’ consent until 180 days following the Final Funding Date.

As mentioned above, the Keep Well Agreement also includes the following financial covenants: a requirement that annualized consolidated recurring revenue for the preceding twelve months be at least $11.0 million tested monthly, and a requirement that consolidated liquidity must be greater than $5.0 million at all times. The Company was in compliance with such financial covenants as of December 31, 2023.
Borrowings Under the Keep Well Agreement

In February 2023, as a result of approvals obtained at the 2023 Special Meeting relating to the terms provided for in the Second Amendment, as described above, the Company determined that terms of the Keep Well Agreement as amended by the Second Amendment is substantially different from the terms in the Original Keep Well Agreement and that extinguishment of the senior secured notes issued under the Original Keep Well Agreement and recognition of a new debt instrument for the senior secured notes under the Original Keep Well Agreement as amended by the Second Amendment was appropriate. As such, in February 2023, the Company recorded the extinguishment of the senior secured notes under the Original Keep Well Agreement, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.2 million, which was recorded as part of additional paid in capital since the debt transaction is with Acuitas, a significant shareholder. The new debt instrument includes an embedded conversion feature, as described above, which was accounted for in accordance with ASU 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity,” which the Company adopted on January 1, 2022, and accordingly the Company did not separately present such embedded conversion feature in equity but rather accounted for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The Company also assessed and determined that the Keep Well Warrants qualified for equity classification and applied the relative fair value method to allocate proceeds from the debt issuance to the Keep Well Warrants. The Company incurred $0.3 million of debt issuance costs related to the Second Amendment. The fair value of the Keep Well Warrants and new debt issuance costs relating to the Second Amendment were recorded as part of debt discount and accreted using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the debt.

In connection with the Fourth Amendment entered into in June 2023 discussed above, the Company incurred approximately $0.04 million of legal costs, which have been expensed as incurred as the Company determined that the Fourth Amendment was a modification of original debt terms.

In connection with the Fifth Amendment entered into in October 2023 discussed above, the Company determined that the terms of the Fifth Amendment was substantially different from the original terms of the Keep Well Agreement and as such, extinguishment of the senior secured notes under the Keep Well Agreement and recognition of a new debt instrument for the senior secured notes under the Fifth Amendment is appropriate. In October 2023, the Company recorded the extinguishment of the senior secured notes under the Keep Well Agreement and the new debt instrument at fair value, resulting in a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.3 million, which was recorded as part of additional paid in capital since the debt transaction is with Acuitas, a significant shareholder. The Company incurred approximately $0.04 million of legal costs related to the Fifth Amendment, which was recorded as debt discount and accreted using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the debt.
F-30




As of December 31, 2023, a total of $2.1 million, which includes $0.1 million of accrued paid-in-kind interest, was outstanding under a Keep Well Note. The Keep Well Note accrues interest based on the adjusted term SOFR for each interest period. At December 31, 2023, the effective weighted average interest rate for the Keep Well Notes was 20.79%.

The net carrying amounts of the liability components consists of the following (in thousands):

At December 31,

Securities Issued Under the Keep Well Agreement During 2022

Following approval of the Company’s stockholders obtained at the annual stockholder meeting held on August 29, 2022, (a) on September 2, 2022, the Company issued 739,645 shares of its common stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to Acuitas and (b) in August and September 2022, the Company issued to Acuitas warrants to purchase a total of 1,301,775 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Commitment Shares and such warrants, which qualified for equity classification, were accounted for as debt discount based on their respective fair values determined at each issuance dates. The warrants have a term of five years and had an exercise price equal to $1.69, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on Nasdaq immediately preceding the time the parties entered into the Keep Well Agreement. As discussed above, as result of approvals obtained at the 2023 Special Meeting, each warrant issued under the Keep Well Agreement outstanding as of the date of such approval was exchanged for a new warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that reflect the amendments to the warrants described above, including the increase in the warrant coverage and the decrease in the exercise price. Neither the number of Commitment Shares nor the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to warrants issued to Acuitas described above give effect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above.

Stockholders Agreement

Under the terms of the Keep Well Agreement, if Acuitas' beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock equals at least a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, Acuitas Capital and the Company agreed to enter into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) pursuant to which, during any period that Acuitas’ beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock equals at least 50% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, Acuitas agreed to vote the shares of the Company’s common stock it beneficially owns (a) in favor of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company that would require the Company’s board of directors to include not fewer than three independent directors at all times, (b) in favor of the election or re-election of independent directors nominated for election by the Company’s board of directors or by the nominating committee thereof unless the failure of a nominee to be elected or re-elected to the Company’s board of directors would not result in the Company having fewer than three independent directors following such election, and (c) against any proposal or action that would result in the Company’s board of directors having fewer than three independent directors at all times. In addition, under the Stockholders Agreement, the parties agreed that, during any period that such beneficial ownership of Acuitas affiliates equals at least 50% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, the Company will not enter into any transaction between the Company or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and Acuitas or any of its affiliates (excluding the Company and its affiliates), on the other hand, unless it is approved by a majority of the independent directors then serving on the Company’s board of directors.

2024 Notes
The Company was party to a Note Purchase Agreement dated September 24, 2019 (the “Note Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. and any other purchasers party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Holders”), as amended, pursuant to which the Company initially issued $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the "Initial 2024 Notes"). In August 2020, the Company issued an additional $10.0 million principal amount of senior secured notes as provided under the additional note purchase commitment of the Note Agreement (together with the Initial 2024 Notes, the "2024 Notes").

In July 2022, the Company wrote off the remaining $1.3 million of debt issuance costs related to the 2024 Notes.

In connection with entering into the Eighth Amendment, the Company issued to Special Situations Investing Group II, LLC (“Special Situations”), a warrant (the “Amendment Warrant”) to purchase up to 111,680 shares of the Company's common stock (18,614 shares as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above). Also, the Company agreed to issue to Special Situations, beginning March 31, 2022 and until the earlier of (i) date the 2024 Notes have been paid in full and (ii) October 31, 2022, additional warrants (each a “Ticking Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to $47,500, to be calculated based on the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the five (5) trading day period immediately preceding the date such Ticking Warrant is issued, not to exceed 7% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on the date of the Eighth Amendment. The Amendment Warrant and each Ticking Warrant have an exercise price equal to $0.01 per share ($0.06 per share as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above) and expire on September 24, 2026. As of December 31, 2023, Ticking Warrants to purchase 118,931 shares of the Company's common stock (19,823 shares as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above) were outstanding. The Company assessed and separated the warrants into liability and equity components, wherein the Amendment Warrant qualified for equity classification and the Ticking Warrants qualified for liability classification. See Note 2 under "Fair Value Measurements" for more information.

As of December 31, 2023, we had 1,282,746 stock options and RSUs outstanding and 59,873 shares reserved for future awards.
Stock-based compensation expense was approximately $2.9 million and $7.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were determined as follows:
Year Ended December 31,

The expected volatility assumptions have been based on the historical and expected volatility of our stock, measured over a period generally commensurate with the expected term. The weighted average expected option term for the year ended December 31, 2023, reflects the application of the simplified method prescribed in SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107 (as amended by SAB 110), which defines the life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all option tranches.

Options vested and exercisable at December 31, 2023 440,551  $ 13.04 
As of December 31, 2023, there was $2.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted to employees and directors under the Plan. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.03 years.
Performance-Based and Market-Based Awards
The Company’s Compensation Committee designed a compensation structure to align the compensation level of the Company's former Executive Chairman to the performance of the Company through the issuance of market-based stock options. The market-based options vested upon the Company’s stock price reaching a certain price at a specific performance period and the total amount of compensation expense recognized was based on a Monte Carlo simulation that factored in the probability of the award vesting. The market-based stock options to purchase a total of 1,040,000 shares (173,334 shares, adjusted for the reverse stock split, which is discussed in Note 2 above) of the Company's common stock expired unexercised on June 2, 2023.
Restricted Stock Units - Employees
The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes our RSU award activity issued under the 2017 Plan:

On each of January 5, 2023 and March 6, 2023, the Company borrowed $4.0 million under the Keep Well Agreement. In connection with the January 5, 2023 borrowing, the Company issued to Acuitas a warrant to purchase 473,373 shares of the Company's common stock (78,896 shares of the Company's common stock as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above) with an original exercise price equal to $1.69 per share. In February 2023, as discussed in Note 9 below, warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,775,148 shares of the Company’s common stock (295,860 shares of the Company's common stock as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above) previously issued by the Company to Acuitas through February 20, 2023 were exchanged for warrants to purchase 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (5,555,557 shares of the Company's common stock as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above, of which 5,338,593 shares relate to warrants issued during the first quarter of 2023) with an exercise price equal to $0.45 per share ($0.92 per share as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above and further adjustments discussed in Note 9). In connection with the March 6, 2023 borrowing, the Company issued to Acuitas a warrant to purchase 8,888,889 shares of the Company's common stock (1,481,482 shares of the Company's common stock as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above) with an exercise price equal to $0.45 per share ($0.92 per share as adjusted for the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2 above and further adjustments discussed in Note 9). All warrants issued to Acuitas have a five year term.
In November 2023, Acuitas completed a conversion of certain amount of the Keep Well Notes, wherein the Company issued to Acuitas a warrant to purchase 18,054,791 shares of the Company's common stock, and in December 2023, following the effectiveness of the Stockholder Approval, as described in Note 9 above, the Company issued an additional warrant to purchase 9,027,395 shares of the Company's common stock. All such warrants had an exercise price of $0.60 per share as of December 31, 2023.
Also in November 2023, the Company completed the Public Offering and the Private Placement. In the Public Offering, the Company issued 4,592,068 shares of its common stock, 5,907,932 pre-funded warrants and 21,000,000 warrants accompanying such common stock and pre-funded warrants. In the Private Placement, the Company issued 18,333,333 pre-funded warrants and 36,666,666 warrants accompanying such pre-funded warrants.

Note 11. Leases
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on the Company's balance sheet and classifies the leases as either operating or financing leases. The Company leases office space in Henderson, Nevada, which previously served as the Company's headquarters and currently serves as the administrative office for certain of the Company's back-office functions, and in Rosemont, Illinois, which are accounted for as operating leases. The Rosemont, Illinois lease expired in June 2023. In September 2023, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease for a virtual office space in Miami, Florida, which serves as the Company's headquarters. The Company leases various computer equipment used in the operation of its business, which are accounted for as finance leases. The operating lease agreement for the Henderson, Nevada office is for a total of 2,721 square feet of office space for lease term of 58 months. The Company's finance leases are generally for 36 month terms. As of December 31, 2023, all of the Company's finance lease terms have ended.

On April 12, 2022, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with a subtenant for 100% of the office space the Company leased in Santa Monica, California. The sublease agreement commenced on June 3, 2022 and provided for an expiration date of July 17, 2024, unless sooner terminated. On February 16, 2023, the Company, the landlord and the subtenant entered into a lease and sublease termination agreement for the office space, with a termination date of February 28, 2023. The Company agreed to pay to the landlord a $0.1 million early termination fee and monthly fixed rent for March and April 2023, and the subtenant agreed to pay to the Company monthly fixed sublease payments for March and April 2023. As a result of the lease termination, the Company wrote-off $0.3 million of operating lease right-of-use assets, and $0.6 million and $0.2 million of current and long-term operating lease liabilities, respectively, resulting in a non-cash gain of $0.5 million included in "Other income, net" on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company’s operating leases do not require any contingent rental payments, impose any financial restrictions, or contain any residual value guarantees. The leases include renewal options and escalation clauses. The renewal options have not been included in the calculation of the operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise the options. Variable expenses generally represent the Company’s share of the landlord’s operating expenses.

Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily related to a reversal of accrued estimated income taxes. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily related to state minimum taxes and gross receipts taxes.
Net deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

Year Ended December 31,
2023 2022
Net operating losses $ 52,530  $ 46,301

   Net deferred tax asset $ —  $ — 
The Company believes that its deferred tax assets will not meet the more-likely-than not criteria set forth by ASC 740 - "Income Taxes" (“ASC 740”). Accordingly, management has provided a valuation allowance in full on its net deferred tax assets in the amount of $65.2 million and $56.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the total change in valuation allowance was $9.0 million and $10.1 million, respectively. Realization of the deferred tax assets will be primarily dependent upon the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income.

F-37



As of December 31, 2023, the Company had net federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards of approximately $209.3 million and $151.6 million, respectively. The federal NOL carryforwards arising in tax years beginning 2018 have an indefinite life, whereas those generated before 2018 have 20-year lifespan. Accordingly, NOLs generated prior to 2003 have expired. Given the Company has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the expiration of these NOLs does not have a material impact on the Company’s financials.

The Company is in the process of completing an analysis through December 31, 2023 of its ownership changes since formation in accordance with Section 382 (“Section 382”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The analysis determined that the Company experienced a Section 382 ownership change on November 14, 2023. As a result of the November 14, 2023 ownership change, the Company expects a certain amount of federal and state NOLs to expire unutilized, with an offsetting reduction to the valuation allowance once the analysis has been completed. Additionally, certain tax attributes, including NOLs, carrying over may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382, which may restrict the Company's ability to offset taxable income.
A reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate for the years presented was as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
2023 2022
Tax at federal statutory rate 21.0  % 21.0  %
Stock-based compensation (0.6) (5.1)
Section 162(m) —  — 
Change in federal valuation allowance (20.0) (16.1)
Reduction in federal NOL carryforward DTA due to 382 study results —  — 
Other (0.1) — 
   Effective tax rate 0.3  % (0.2) %

The Company has adopted guidance issued by the FASB that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company files income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and various states with nexus. For jurisdictions in which tax filings are prepared, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by state tax authorities for tax years prior to 2019, and by the IRS for tax years prior to 2020. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are subject to IRS examination until they are fully utilized or expired and such tax years are closed.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) resulted in significant changes to the treatment of research and experimental (“R&E”) expenditures under Section 174. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2021, taxpayers are required to capitalize and amortize all R&E expenditures. In general, expenditures for U.S. based R&E activities must be amortized over 5 years and expenditures for foreign based R&E activities must be amortized over 15 years. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has engaged in U.S. based R&E activities and has recorded an estimated impact of the Section 174. The Company will continue to monitor the impact of new regulation.
There are currently no income tax audits in any jurisdictions for open tax years and, as of December 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to our tax positions. 

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business activities. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not party to any litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position, except the following:

Loss Contingencies

On March 3, 2021, a purported securities class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, entitled Farhar v. Ontrak, Inc., Case No. 2:21-cv-01987. On March 19, 2021, another similar lawsuit was filed in the same court, entitled Yildrim v. Ontrak, Inc., Case No. 2:21-cv-02460. On July 14, 2021, the Court consolidated the two actions under the Farhar case (“Consolidated Class Action”), appointed Ibinabo Dick as lead plaintiff, and the Rosen Law Firm as lead counsel. On August 13, 2021, lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint. In the Consolidated Amended Complaint, lead plaintiff, purportedly on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of Ontrak securities from August 5, 2020 through February 26, 2021, alleges that the Company and Terren S. Peizer, Brandon H. LaVerne and Curtis Medeiros, violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78j(b), 78t(a), and Rule 10b-5, 17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5, promulgated thereunder, by intentionally or recklessly making false and misleading statements and omissions in various press releases, SEC filings and conference calls with investors on August 5, 2020 and November 5, 2020. Specifically, the Consolidated Amended Complaint alleges that the Company was inappropriately billing its largest customer, Aetna, causing Aetna to, in May 2020, shut off its data feed to Ontrak, and, in July 2020, require Ontrak to complete a Corrective Action Plan (“CAP”). Lead plaintiff alleges that defendants: (1) misrepresented to investors that the data feed was shut off in July 2020, and that it was part of Aetna’s standard compliance review of all of its vendors; (2) failed to disclose to investors that Aetna had issued the CAP; and (3) failed to disclose to investors that Ontrak was engaging in inappropriate billing practices. Lead plaintiff seeks certification of a class and monetary damages in an indeterminate amount. On September 13, 2021, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint for failure to state a claim under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and 9(b) and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78u-4, et seq. The motion was taken under submission, with no oral argument. Prior to any ruling being issued on the motion to dismiss, on March 29, 2023, lead plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint. The Second Amended Complaint (1) adds Jonathan Mayhew as a defendant; (2) expands the purported class period to August 5, 2020 through August 19, 2021; and (3) now includes allegations that the defendants additionally intentionally or recklessly made false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s relationship with its then-second largest customer, Cigna, in various press releases, SEC filings and conference calls with investors on May 6, 2021 and August 5, 2021. On May 15, 2023, the Company filed its motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. On February 2, 2024, the Court issued an order granting the Company’s motion to dismiss in its entirety and providing lead plaintiff leave to amend. On March 5, 2024, lead plaintiff filed its Third Amended Complaint, which asserts the same claims, against the same defendants for the same purported class period. On March 19, 2024, the Company filed its motion to dismiss the Third Amended Complaint. That motion is now fully briefed and the hearing on the motion is currently set for April 19, 2024. The Company believes that the allegations lack merit and intends to defend against the action vigorously.

On August 6, 2021, a purported stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, entitled Aptor v. Peizer, Case No. 2:21-cv-06371, alleging breach of fiduciary duty on behalf of the Company against Terren S. Peizer, Brandon H. LaVerne, Richard A. Berman, Michael Sherman, Diane Seloff, Robert Rebak, Gustavo Giraldo and Katherine Quinn, and contribution against Terren S. Peizer and Brandon H. LaVerne. On October 6, 2021, a similar shareholder derivative action was filed in the same Court, entitled Anderson v. Peizer, Case No. 2:21-cv-07998, for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement and waste of corporate assets against Terren S. Peizer, Brandon H. LaVerne, Curtis Medeiros, Richard A. Berman, Michael Sherman, Edward Zecchini, Diane Seloff, Robert Rebak, Gustavo Giraldo, and Katherine Quinn, and contribution against Terren S. Peizer, Brandon H. LaVerne and Curtis Medeiros. On December 1, 2021, a similar shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, entitled Vega v. Peizer, Case No. 1:21-cv-01701, for violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and waste of corporate assets against Terren S. Peizer, Brandon H. LaVerne, Curtis Medeiros, Richard A. Berman, Michael Sherman, Edward Zecchini, Diane Seloff, Robert Rebak, Gustavo Giraldo, and Katherine Quinn. In these actions, plaintiffs allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing or causing the Company to violate the federal securities laws as alleged in the Consolidated Class Action discussed above. The plaintiffs seek damages (and contribution from the officers) in an indeterminate amount. On December 7, 2021, the Court in the Central District of California consolidated the two Central District of California actions under the Aptor case caption and number (the "Consolidated Derivative Action"), stayed the action pending a ruling on the Motion to Dismiss in the Consolidated Class Action and ordered plaintiffs to file a consolidated amended complaint within fourteen (14) days of a ruling on the Motion to Dismiss in the Consolidated Class Action. On February 7, 2022, the Court in the District of Delaware extended the deadline for defendants to respond to the complaint in the Vega action to April 8, 2022. On March 21, 2022 the Court in the District of Delaware granted plaintiff’s unopposed motion to transfer the case to the United States District Court for Central District of California in the interest of judicial efficiency due to the Consolidated Class Action and Consolidated Derivative Action already pending in that district, and that same day the case was transferred into the United States District Court for Central District of California and given the new Case No.
F-39



2:22-cv-01873-CAS-AS. On April 11, 2022, the Court stayed the action pending a ruling on the Motion to Dismiss in the Consolidated Class Action and ordered plaintiffs to inform defendants regarding their intention to amend their initial complaint within thirty (30) days of said ruling. On February 14, 2024, the parties in Consolidated Derivative Action stipulated to an extension of the stay pending a ruling on Ontrak’s anticipated motion to dismiss the forthcoming amended complaint filed by lead plaintiff in the Consolidated Class Action. On April 8, 2024, the parties in the Vega action did the same. On January 25, 2024, another purported stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, entitled Dutkiewicz v. Acuitas Group Holdings LLC (“Acuitas”), Case No. 2024-0068, alleging breach of fiduciary duty under Brophy and unjust enrichment against Acuitas and Terren S. Peizer and breach of fiduciary duties generally against Acuitas, Terren S. Peizer, Brandon H. LaVerne, Jonathan Mayhew, Curtis Medeiros, Richard A. Berman, Michael Sherman, Edward Zecchini, Diane Seloff, Robert Rebak, Gustavo Giraldo, Katherine Quinn and Robert Newton. Ontrak’s response date to this new derivative complaint is not yet set. Although all of the claims asserted in these actions purport to seek recovery on behalf of the Company, the Company will incur certain expenses due to indemnification and advancement obligations with respect to the defendants. The Company understands that defendants believe these actions are without merit and intend to defend themselves vigorously.

On February 28, 2022, a purported securities class action was filed in the Superior Court of California for Los Angeles County, entitled Braun v. Ontrak, Inc., et al., Case No. 22STCV07174. The plaintiff filed this action purportedly on behalf of a putative class of all purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Registration Statements and Prospectuses issued in connection with Ontrak’s August 21, 2020 initial public stock offering, its September 2020 through December 2020 “at market” offering, and its December 16, 2020 follow-on stock offering (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Offerings”). The plaintiff brings this action against the Company; its officers: Terren S. Peizer, Brandon H. LaVerne, and Christopher Shirley; its board members: Richard A. Berman, Sharon Gabrielson, Gustavo Giraldo, Katherine B. Quinn, Robert Rebak, Diane Seloff, Michael Sherman, and Edward Zecchini; and the investment banking firms that acted as underwriters for the Preferred Stock Offerings: B. Riley Securities, Inc., Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc., William Blair & Company, LLC, Aegis Capital Corp., Insperex LLC (f/k/a Incapital LLC), The Benchmark Company, LLC, Boenning & Scatteredgood, Inc., Colliers Securities, LLC, Kingswood Capital Markets, and ThinkEquity (the "Underwriters"). The plaintiff asserts three causes of action alleging that Ontrak violated § 11, § 12(a)(2), and § 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, respectively, (1) by failing to disclose facts required to be disclosed under SEC Regulation S-K items 105 and 303 – that Aetna had turned off the data feed of customer records to Ontrak citing dissatisfaction with the Company’s value proposition and billing practices and thereafter submitted a CAP to which Ontrak’s senior executives were unable to effectively respond; and (2) by issuing allegedly false or misleading statements in its Registration Statements and Prospectuses: (a) regarding Ontrak’s growing customer base; (b) regarding its ability to scale its operations; (c) that revenue from a limited number of its customers would continue; (d) that its services are provided to customers continuously; (e) that revenue increases were attributable to continued expansion of the Ontrak program; and (f) regarding the healthcare experience of its executives. The plaintiff seeks damages in an indeterminate amount. On July 7, 2022, the defendants filed demurrers to the complaint. On October 4, 2022, the Court issued its ruling, allowing the case to proceed but with a narrowed scope. Specifically, of the six alleged misleading statements, only two remain (that Ontrak had a growing “growing customer base” and that Ontrak’s revenue growth was attributed to “[t]he continued expansion of [its] Ontrak program with [its] existing health plan customers”). The Court sustained the Company’s demurrer to the second cause of action, for violation of Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1933; while the Court granted leave to amend the plaintiff determined not to amend to pursue that claim. The Company believes that the remaining allegations lack merit and intends to defend against the action vigorously.

On November 18, 2022, plaintiff filed his Motion for Class Certification. On February 17, 2023, the Company filed its opposition and joined in the opposition of the Underwriters. On October 12, 2023, the Court issued its ruling granting plaintiff's Motion and certifying the class as to the Section 11 and Section 15 claims only.

The parties were engaged in discovery until November 3, 2023, when the United States Attorneys' Office filed an application for leave to intervene and stay discovery pending resolution of a federal criminal case. On November 8, 2023, the Court set the Government's motion for hearing on December 14, 2023 and issued an order temporarily staying all discovery in the action pending resolution of the motion. On December 14, 2023, the Court granted the application for leave to intervene and stay discovery, staying discovery until June 25, 2024, or until criminal case reaches its conclusion at the trial level. The Court also vacated the previously set trial and related dates.

Securities Investigation

On November 15, 2022, the Company received a notification from the SEC, Division of Enforcement, that it is conducting an investigation captioned “In the Matter of Trading in the Securities of Ontrak, Inc. (HO-14340)” and issued a preservation letter as well as a subpoena for documents relating to the investigation. The notification indicates the investigation is a fact-finding inquiry for compliance with federal securities laws and should not be construed as an indication by the SEC that any violation of law has occurred, nor as a reflection upon any person, entity or security. The Company cooperated with the terms of the subpoena.

On March 1, 2023, the DOJ announced charges and the SEC filed a civil complaint against Terren S. Peizer, Ontrak's former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors, alleging unlawful insider trading in our stock. Neither the Company nor any other current or former director or employee of the Company were charged by the DOJ or sued by the SEC. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the DOJ or SEC proceedings, nor can it predict whether any other governmental authorities will initiate separate investigations or litigation. Investigations and any related legal and administrative proceedings could include a wide variety of outcomes, including the institution of administrative, civil injunctive or criminal proceedings involving the Company and/or its current or former executives and/or directors, the imposition of fines and other penalties, remedies and/or sanctions.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

On March 28, 2024, the Company and Acuitas Capital entered into an amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the Keep Well Agreement. The following is a summary of the Sixth Amendment:

Issuance of Demand Notes and Warrants. Under the Sixth Amendment, on April 5, 2024, the Company issued and sold to Acuitas, and Acuitas purchased from the Company, a senior secured convertible promissory note (a “Demand Note”), with a principal amount of $1.5 million (the “Initial Demand Note”). In Acuitas’ sole discretion, Acuitas may purchase from the Company, and the Company will issue and sell to Acuitas, up to an additional $13.5 million in principal amount of Demand Notes, at such time and in such principal amounts as specified in the Sixth Amendment. The terms of the Demand Notes are substantially similar to the Surviving Note, except the amounts due under the Demand Notes are payable upon demand of the holder. Unless and until the effective date of the Stockholder Approval (as defined below) occurs (such effective date, the “Stockholder Approval Effective Date”), the Company will not issue any shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of any Demand Note.

In connection with each Demand Note purchased by Acuitas from the Company (including the Initial Demand Note), and subject to the Stockholder Approval Effective Date occurring, the Company will issue to Acuitas (or an entity affiliated with Acuitas, as designated by Acuitas) a warrant (“Demand Warrant”) to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock that results in 200% warrant coverage. Each Demand Warrant will have a term of five years. The initial exercise price of each Demand Warrant will be (a) in the case of the Demand Warrant issued in connection with the Initial Demand Note and in respect of the next $3.0 million of principal amount of Demand Notes purchased by Acuitas, the lesser of (i) $0.3442 (after giving effect to the reduction of the exercise price of the Public Offering Warrants and Private Placement Warrant (collectively, the “November 2023 Warrants”) that occurred on April 5, 2024 described below) and (ii) the greater of (1) the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market or such other exchange on which the Company’s common stock is listed (the “Exchange”) immediately preceding the time the applicable Demand Note is deemed issued by the Company and (2) $0.12, and (b) in the case of the Demand Warrants issued in connection with any subsequent Demand Notes, the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Exchange immediately preceding the time the applicable Demand Note is deemed issued by the Company, which initial exercise price will, in each case of clauses (a) and (b) above, be subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Demand Warrant and the Sixth Amendment. The terms of the Demand Warrants will be substantially similar to the terms of the November 2023 Warrants. See “Warrant Adjustment Provisions,” below.

The Company will not issue any Demand Warrant unless and until the Stockholder Approval Effective Date occurs, and promptly as practicable following such date, the Company will issue each Demand Warrant that would have been issued through and including such date.

Replacement of Keep Well Warrants. Following the Stockholder Approval Effective Date, the Company will issue to each holder of each warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued under the Existing Keep Well Agreement outstanding as of the Stockholder Approval Effective Date (any such warrant, a “Replaced Keep Well Warrant”), in exchange therefor, a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (a “New Keep Well Warrant”) substantially in the form of the Demand Warrant, and each Replaced Keep Well Warrant will be deemed automatically cancelled. Each New Keep Well Warrant will (a) have the same issuance date as the Replaced Keep Well Warrant in respect of which it was issued, (b) a term of five years from the original issuance date of the Replaced Keep Well Warrant in respect of which it was issued, and (c) an initial exercise price equal to $0.3442 (after giving effect to the reduction of the exercise price of the November 2023 Warrants that occurred on April 5, 2024 described below), which will be subject to further adjustment in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Sixth Amendment.

F-41



Surviving Note. Effective as of the Stockholder Approval Effective Date, the conversion price of the Surviving Note will become equal to the lesser of (i) $0.36, and (ii) the greater of (a) the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Exchange on the trading day that is immediately prior to the applicable conversion date of such note and (b) $0.12, which will be subject to further adjustment in accordance with its terms.

Stockholder Approval. The Company is required to seek stockholder approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market of (a) the issuance of the (x) Demand Warrants, (y) the New Keep Well Warrants and (z) the Demand Notes, (b) the issuance of the shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the Demand Warrants, the New Keep Well Warrants, and the Demand Notes, and (c) any other terms of the Sixth Amendment that require approval of the Company’s stockholders under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Company intends to obtain the Stockholder Approval by written consent or consents signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the applicable actions at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Following receipt of the Stockholder Approval, the Company intends to file with the SEC a preliminary information statement related to the Stockholder Approval, and the Company will thereafter mail a definitive information statement to the Company’s stockholders in accordance with SEC rules. Under SEC rules, in the case of corporate actions taken by the consent of stockholders, the definitive information statement must be sent or given at least 20 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the corporation actions approved by the consent of stockholders may be taken. Accordingly, the effectiveness of the stockholder approval of the corporate actions approved by the Stockholder Approval will be 20 calendar days after the date on which definitive information statement is first sent or given to the Company’s stockholders.

Waivers by Holders of Outstanding Warrants

Also on March 28, 2024, the Company and each holder of a Public Offering Warrant entered into a waiver and consent agreement (collectively, the “Public Offering Investor Waivers”), pursuant to which such holder agreed to waive, with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Sixth Amendment, certain limitations and prohibitions in the securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Public Offering Warrants were issued that otherwise would have prohibited the Company from entering into Sixth Amendment and consummating the transactions contemplated thereby.

In addition, pursuant to the Public Offering Investor Waivers, the holders of the Public Offering Warrants agreed to the following adjustments to the exercise price of the Public Offering Warrants then in effect (in lieu of the adjustments that would otherwise be made in accordance with the terms of the Public Offering Warrants described below) in connection with the Sixth Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby: (i) the exercise price was reduced to $0.36 at the time the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment; (ii) if $0.36 was greater than the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock on any trading day during the five trading day period immediately following the public announcement of the Company entering into the Sixth Amendment (the “Restricted Transaction Measuring Period”), then the exercise price would be further reduced to the lowest VWAP on any trading day during the Restricted Transaction Measuring Period; and (iii) if any senior secured promissory note issued under the Keep Well Agreement is converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price less than the exercise price of the Public Offering Warrants then in effect, after giving effect to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) and any adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Public Offering Warrant (other than Section 3(b) thereof), then the exercise price will be further reduced to such conversion price at such time of such conversion.

Also on March 28, 2024, the Company and Humanitario entered into a waiver and agreement (the “Private Placement Investor Waiver” and together with the Public Offering Investors Waivers, the “Investor Waivers”)) pursuant to which, among other things, Humanitario agreed to the adjustments to the exercise price of the Private Placement Warrant then in effect as described above for the Public Offering Warrants (in lieu of the adjustments that would otherwise be made in accordance with the terms of such warrant described below) in connection with the Sixth Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The lowest VWAP on any trading day during the Restricted Transaction Measuring Period was $0.3442. Accordingly, the exercise price of the Public Offering Warrants and the Private Placement Warrant (collectively, the “November 2023 Warrants”) was reduced to, and currently is, $0.3442 per share, which is subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Investor Waivers and the November 2023 Warrants.

In addition, as a result of the reduction of the exercise price of the November 2023 Warrants to $0.3442 per share described above, the initial exercise price of each Demand Warrant and each New Keep Well Warrant the Company issues, in each case, if and when issued, will be $0.3442 per share, which is subject to further adjustment in accordance with the Sixth Amendment and, as applicable, the Demand Warrant and New Keep Well Warrant.

Warrant Adjustment Provisions

In addition to customary adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock, the exercise price of the November 2023 Warrants, the Demand Warrants and New Keep Well Warrants, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the events described below (collectively, the “Warrant Adjustment Provisions”).

•Adjustment in May 2026. On May 14, 2026, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to the greater of (i) $0.1584 per share and (ii) the lesser of (x) the then exercise price and (y) the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock on any trading day during the five trading day period immediately before May 14, 2026.

•Alternative Exercise Price Following Certain Issuances. If we issue or sell, or enter into any agreement to issue or sell, any common stock, common stock equivalents, or rights, warrants or options to purchase shares of our capital stock or common stock equivalents that are issuable or convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of our common stock at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of our common stock (excluding customary adjustments in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events), the holder will have the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute the variable price for the exercise price of its warrants.

•Adjustment for Stock Combination Events. In the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock (a “Stock Combination Event”), if the Event Market Price (as defined below) is less than the exercise price of the warrants then in effect (after giving effect to customary adjustments thereto as a result of the event), then on the 16th trading day immediately following the Stock Combination Event, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to the Event Market Price. “Event Market Price” means, with respect to any Stock Combination Event, the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the volume weighted average price of our common stock for each of the five lowest trading days during the 20 consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the 16th trading day after the date of such Stock Combination Event, by (y) five.

•Adjustment Upon Restricted Investor Subsequent Placement. If at any time prior to June 20, 2027, we (1) grant, issue or sell (or enter into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any shares of common stock, non-convertible indebtedness and/or common stock equivalents to Acuitas that results in a reduction of the exercise price in accordance with the terms of the warrants, or (2) consummate (or enter into any agreement with respect to) any other financing with Acuitas (any transaction described in clause (1) or (2), other than certain exempt issuances, a “Restricted Transaction”) and the exercise price of the warrants is greater than the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock on any trading day during the five trading day period immediately following the public announcement of such Restricted Transaction, then the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to the lowest volume weighted average price on any trading day during such five trading day period.

•Adjustment for Dilutive Issuances. If we issue (or enter into any agreement to issue) any shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents, excluding certain exempt issuances, for a consideration per share less than the exercise price of the warrants in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance, then the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to an amount equal to the consideration per share at which the common stock or common stock equivalents were issued or deemed issued.

•Adjustment to Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the exercise price on or prior to June 20, 2027, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will be increased or decreased proportionally, such that the aggregate exercise price of the warrants, after taking into account the adjustment in the exercise price, will be equal to the aggregate exercise price before the adjustment in the exercise price.

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the November 2023 Warrants, the Demand Warrants and New Keep Well Warrants and which generally includes any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, a holder of any of the November 2023 Warrants, the Demand Warrants or New Keep Well Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise thereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holder would have received had it exercised the holder’s applicable warrant immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the November 2023 Warrants, the Demand Warrants and New Keep Well Warrants, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holder will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the warrants) of the warrants on the date of consummation of such transaction.

ARTICLE II.
PURCHASE AND SALE
2.1 Closing. On the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, substantially concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company agrees to sell, and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase, up to an aggregate of $2,755,240.80 of Shares and Common Warrants and up to an aggregate of $3,544,168.41 of Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants; provided, however, that, to the extent that a Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that such Purchaser (together with such Purchaser’s Affiliates, and any Person acting as a group together with such Purchaser or any of such Purchaser’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, or as such Purchaser may otherwise choose, in lieu of purchasing Shares such Purchaser may elect to purchase Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of Shares in such manner to result in the same aggregate purchase price being paid by such Purchaser to the Company. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, at the election of the Purchaser at Closing, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Securities on the Closing Date. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser its respective Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and the Company and each Purchaser shall deliver the other items set forth in Section 2.2 deliverable at the Closing. Upon satisfaction of the covenants and conditions set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the Closing shall take place remotely by electronic transfer of the Closing documentation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time on or after the time of execution of this Agreement by the Company and an applicable Purchaser, through, and including the time immediately prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Settlement Period”), such Purchaser sells to any Person all, or any portion, of the Shares to be issued hereunder to such Purchaser at the Closing (collectively, the “Pre-Settlement Shares”), such Purchaser shall, automatically hereunder (without any additional required actions by such Purchaser or the Company), be deemed to be unconditionally bound to purchase, such Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser at the Closing; provided, that the Company shall not be required to deliver any Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser prior to the Company’s receipt of the purchase price of such Pre-Settlement Shares hereunder; and provided further that the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing shall not constitute a representation or covenant by such Purchaser as to whether or not during the Pre-Settlement Period such Purchaser shall sell any shares of Common Stock to any Person and that any such decision to sell any shares of Common Stock by such Purchaser shall solely be made at the time such Purchaser elects to effect any such sale, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and a Purchaser’s Subscription Amount set forth on the signature pages attached hereto, the number of Shares purchased by a Purchaser (and its Affiliates) hereunder shall not, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Purchaser (and its Affiliates) at such time, result in such Purchaser beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock outstanding at the Closing (the “Beneficial Ownership Maximum”), and such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount, to the extent it would otherwise exceed the Beneficial Ownership Maximum immediately prior to the Closing, shall be conditioned upon the issuance of Shares at the Closing to the other Purchasers signatory hereto. To the extent that a Purchaser’s beneficial ownership of the Shares would otherwise be deemed to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Maximum, such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount shall automatically be reduced as necessary in order to comply with this paragraph. Unless otherwise directed by the Placement Agent, settlement of the Shares shall occur via “Delivery Versus Payment” (“DVP”) (i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the Purchasers’ names and addresses and released by the Transfer Agent directly to the account(s) at the Placement Agent identified by each Purchaser; upon receipt of such Shares, the Placement Agent shall promptly electronically deliver such Shares to the applicable Purchaser, and payment therefor shall be made by the Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Company may sell up to $11.0 million of pre-funded warrants to purchase Common Stock and Common Stock purchase warrants in the Private Placement.

Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(aa) sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.1(aa), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(bb)    Tax Status.

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.
(cc)    Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.

(d)    Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.

(e)    Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.  Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired.  Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it.  In connection with the issuance of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred.

The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

24



(b) From the date hereof until one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date, the Company may effect, or enter into an agreement to effect, any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction, so long as the conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate per share of Common Stock underlying any Common Stock Equivalent may not decrease below $0.60 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement). “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market offering”, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price regardless of whether shares pursuant to such agreement have actually been issued and regardless of whether such agreement is subsequently canceled. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of the Private Placement or any Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.
4.12    [Reserved]
4.13    Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of this Agreement) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules (other than as disclosed to its legal and other representatives). Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agent, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
25



4.15    Capital Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants.
4.16    Lock-Up Agreements. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement. For purposes of clarity, no Purchaser shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 4.16 or any Lock-Up Agreement.
4.17    Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required in order to exercise the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1    Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2 Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.
26



5.3    Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.4    Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

5.5    Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased (or, if prior to the Closing, all of the Purchasers) at least 50.1% in interest of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants based on the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.
5.6    Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
5.7    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
27



5.8    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in this Agreement and the representations, warranties and covenants of the Purchasers in this Agreement. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8 and this Section 5.8.
5.9    Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.
5.10    Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11    Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12    Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
28



5.13    Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
5.14    Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15    Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.16    Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through EGS. EGS does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
29



5.18    Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.19    Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.    If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.20    Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.21    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

ONTRAK, INC.
POLICY ON RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION
November 29, 2023

1.    Overview
The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to adopt this Policy to provide for the recovery of certain Incentive-Based Compensation in the event of an Accounting Restatement. This Policy is designed to comply with, and shall be interpreted to be consistent with, Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the regulations and rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”), and the applicable rules, regulations and listing standards of the Exchange (collectively, and as the same may be in effect from time to time, the “Applicable Rules”). Unless otherwise defined in this Policy, capitalized terms used in this Policy have the meanings given to them in Section 2.
2.    Definitions
(a)    “Accounting Restatement” means an accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.
(b)    “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company, as constituted from time to time.
(c)    “Clawback Eligible Incentive-Based Compensation” means, in connection with an Accounting Restatement and with respect to each individual who served as a Senior Executive at any time during the applicable performance period for any Incentive-Based Compensation (whether or not such Senior Executive is serving at the time the Erroneously Awarded Compensation is required to be recouped by the Company), all Incentive-Based Compensation Received by such Senior Executive (i) on or after the Effective Date, (ii) after beginning service as a Senior Executive, (iii) while the Company has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange, and (iv) during the applicable Look-Back Period.
(d)    “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee or subcommittee of the Board, if any, duly appointed to administer this Policy and having such powers in each instance as shall be specified by the Board and as specified in Section 3 of this Policy. The Board may also serve as the Committee.
(e)    “Company” means Ontrak, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

No members of the Committee, nor any other members of the Board who assist in the administration of this Policy, nor any officer of employee of the Company authorized and empowered by the Committee who assists in the administration of this Policy shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to this Policy, and each of the foregoing shall be fully indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent under applicable law and Company policy with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation. The foregoing sentence shall not limit any other rights to indemnification of the members of the Board or any officer of employee of the Company under applicable law, Company policy or contractual arrangement.

To the extent of any inconsistency between this Policy and any of the Applicable Rules, the Applicable Rules shall control and this Policy shall be deemed amended to incorporate such Applicable Rules unless the Committee shall expressly determine otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
-4-



herein, no amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, rescission, termination or replacement of this Policy shall be effective if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, rescission, termination or replacement would (after taking into account any actions taken by the Company contemporaneously with such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, rescission, termination or replacement) cause the Company to violate any of the Applicable Rules or other applicable law.
(a)    This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Senior Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives, to the fullest extent of the law.
