FORM 10-Q
For the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
All statements in this Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, product development, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “budget,” “target,” “aim,” “strategy,” “plan,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, include, but are not limited to, statements about:
●
our current and future research and development (“R&D”) activities, including clinical testing and manufacturing and related costs and timing;
●
our product development and business strategy, including the potential size of the markets for our products and future development and/or expansion of our products in our markets;
●
our ability to commercialize products and generate product revenues;
●
any statements concerning anticipated regulatory activities, including our ability to obtain regulatory clearances;
●
sufficiency of our capital resources;
●
our ability to raise additional funding when needed; and
● risks facing our operations and intellectual property.
We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q largely on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Form 10-Q, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur at all. You should refer to the section titled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2026 (the “Annual Report”), as such risks and uncertainties may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by our subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K we file with the SEC, for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material.
The forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended do not protect any forward-looking statements that we make within this Form 10-Q.
You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference in this Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q by these cautionary statements.
This Form 10-Q contains certain data and information that we obtained from various publications. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions.
All references in this Form 10-Q to our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) shall include the shares represented by CHESS Depository Interests (“CDIs”), each of which represents one underlying share of Common Stock, unless the context suggests otherwise. In addition, the nature of the medical technology industry results in significant uncertainties for any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our industry. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The principal activities of Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (“ATGC,” “Anteris,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) include:
●
Continued research and development (“R&D”) of the DurAVR® Transcatheter Heart Valve (“THV”), consisting of a single-piece biomimetic valve made with our primary ADAPT® tissue-enhancing technology and deployed with our ComASUR® balloon-expandable delivery system (the “ComASUR® Delivery System”), designed to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of aortic stenosis. The DurAVR® THV, with its single piece, native-shaped biomimetic design is built to mimic the performance of a healthy aortic valve and to restore normal laminar blood flow. This new class of technology can be used to treat new aortic stenosis patients and to treat aortic stenosis patients where their current bioprosthetic aortic valve is failing (“valve-in-valve”).
●
Advancing the DurAVR® THV clinical program, including ongoing patient recruitment and data collection for the randomized global pivotal study (the “PARADIGM Trial”), expansion into additional geographies, and continued site activation and training. Data from the PARADIGM Trial is intended to support a Premarket Approval (“PMA”) application in the United States and a parallel CE Mark approval in Europe. These are key milestones on the path to commercialization.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, cash flows, and financial position have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year or any other subsequent interim period.
Unless noted otherwise, all dollar amounts are in thousands of United States dollars (“U.S. dollars” or “$”). Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.
The Company is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), which permits the Company to utilize an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its judgments, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events that management believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s (defined below) financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and therefore these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2025 as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2026 (the “Annual Report”).
There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from those described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the adoption of certain accounting standards impacting disclosures only, as discussed below.
(a)
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ATGC, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which ATGC has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. ATGC and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the “Group.”
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity. All subsidiaries of ATGC have a reporting year end of December 31. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated.
(b)
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 intends to enhance income tax disclosures to address investor requests for more information about the tax risks and opportunities present in an entity’s worldwide operations and primarily requires further disaggregation of existing disclosures related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. As an EGC, the Company elected to apply the extended transition period, and will adopt ASU 2023‑09 for the year ending December 31, 2026. The ASU impacts disclosure only and did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company will apply the disclosure requirements prospectively beginning with the year ending December 31, 2026; however, for comparability, the Company expects to present comparative income tax disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2025 in its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026, as applicable.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(c)
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
The FASB has not issued any accounting standards updates during the first three months of 2026.
For information on accounting pronouncements issued in prior years but not yet adopted, refer to Note 2(y) in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 as included in the Annual Report.
The Company’s provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that period. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances on its deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 includes a discrete tax expense related to a Swiss withholding tax settlement arising from a prior‑period tax audit. There was no income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and for loss and credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets as the Company has determined that it was more likely than not that the Company would not realize the benefits of net deferred tax assets.

The following details the issuance of Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026:
●
On January 22, 2026, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the “2026 Public Offering”) of 40,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $5.75 per share. The 2026 Public Offering generated gross proceeds of approximately $230.0 million, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The 2026 Public Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-292565), which was previously filed with the SEC and declared effective on January 8, 2026, and a prospectus supplement dated January 20, 2026.
●
On January 20, 2026, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Covidien Group S.à r.l. (“Medtronic”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Medtronic plc, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Medtronic 15,652,173 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $5.75 per share (the “Medtronic Private Placement”). The Medtronic Private Placement closed on January 22, 2026, immediately after the completion of the 2026 Public Offering, and generated gross proceeds of approximately $90.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses. The issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock to Medtronic in the Medtronic Private Placement was not registered under the Securities Act and were issued and sold in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)
Employee RSUs
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 78,740 RSUs to employees under the Anteris Technologies Global Corp. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). These RSUs generally vest in three tranches, with each tranche vesting on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment, and are settled in shares of Common Stock upon vesting.

(c) Fair Value Disclosures
RSUs
The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $6.35 per RSU. The fair value of the RSUs was determined based on the market value of the Common Stock on the grant date, which represents the fair value of the underlying shares.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
The Company has agreed to provide certain development services to v2vmedtech, inc. (“v2vmedtech”) in exchange for equity in v2vmedtech. The Company provides engineering, clinical, regulatory, marketing, and executive management resources, but excluding medical and chief medical officer services, in connection with v2vmedtech’s development of an innovative heart valve repair device utilizing a transcatheter edge-to-edge repair method for a minimally invasive treatment of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation, also known as leaky valve.
he Company has determined that v2vmedtech is a VIE under ASC 810 and that the Company is the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect v2vmedtech’s economic performance, primarily through appointing and holding a majority of the v2vmedtech’s board of directors, and has the right to receive certain benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to v2vmedtech through equity ownership. Therefore, the Company consolidates v2vmedtech and reassesses its primary‑beneficiary status at each reporting date.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company terminated the Contribution and Stock Purchase Agreement with v2vmedtech, as described in Note 12 Subsequent Events, after which the Company no longer has ongoing development funding obligations.

This loan has been provided to support v2vmedtech’s working capital needs. It is unsecured and repayable on demand. This balance is eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Other than the initial capital contributions of other stockholders of v2vmedtech, v2vmedtech is wholly financed by the Group. In exchange for v2vmedtech equity interests, the Group contributed $0.2 million and $0.4 million to v2vmedtech to finance its operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
10.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
As of each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Group had capital commitments of $0.1 million for the purchase of plant and equipment.
Contingencies
The Group records a liability in the consolidated financial statements on an undiscounted basis for loss contingencies related to legal actions when a loss is considered probable, and the amount may be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible but not probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required. Estimates of probable losses resulting from litigation and governmental proceedings involving the Company are inherently difficult to predict, particularly when the matters are in early procedural stages with incomplete scientific facts or legal discovery, involve unsubstantiated or indeterminate claims for damages, potentially involve penalties, fines or punitive damages, or could result in a change in business practice.
(a)
Description of segments
Segment information is presented using a management approach, meaning that segment information is provided on the same basis as information is used for internal reporting purposes by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) which is the Company’s Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who makes key strategic decisions. The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources and assessing the performance of the Group. Management has determined that the activities of the business as reviewed by the CODM are one segment, being the development and commercialization of the ADAPT® anti-calcification tissue. This is focused on the DurAVR® THV System.
The revenue and cost information relating to all of the ADAPT® products including both the DurAVR® THV System and regenerative tissue products are regularly reviewed by the CODM on an aggregate basis.
The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and key components and processes of the Company’s operations are managed centrally. Segment asset information is not used by the CODM to allocate resources. As a single reportable segment entity, the Company’s segment performance measure is net income or loss.

Brooklyn Park Lease
On April 23, 2026, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a lease agreement for office and warehouse space located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. The lease term commences on September 1, 2026. In connection with the lease, the Company entered into an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $3.5 million, in favor of the landlord to secure certain obligations under the lease. The standby letter of credit expires on April 21, 2027, subject to automatic annual renewal unless notice of non‑extension is provided by the issuing bank.
The lease represents a non recognized subsequent event, and no lease assets or liabilities have been recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as the lease commencement date occurs after March 31, 2026. The Company will evaluate and recognize the lease in accordance with ASC 842 upon commencement of the lease term.
Termination of v2v Agreement
On April 28, 2026, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, notified v2vmedtech that it had elected to discontinue further development contributions under the Contribution and Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 18, 2023. As a result of this election, the Company is required to pay a contractual break fee of $0.4 million and has no further obligation to fund development activities. Following payment of the break fee, the related development agreement will terminate.
Under the terms of the agreement, the initial shareholders of v2vmedtech may elect to either acquire the Company’s equity interest or reduce it to a capped minority interest. The Company does not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity.
Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this MD&A contain various forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors beyond our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Please also see the section of this Form 10-Q titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
Anteris is a structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Our lead product, the DurAVR® Transcatheter Heart Valve (“THV”) System, was designed in collaboration with the world’s leading interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to treat aortic stenosis — a potentially life-threatening condition resulting from a narrowing of the aortic valve. The balloon-expandable DurAVR® THV is the first biomimetic valve, which is shaped to mimic the performance of a healthy human aortic valve and aims to replicate normal aortic blood flow. Our DurAVR® THV System consists of a single-piece, biomimetic valve made with our proprietary ADAPT® tissue-enhancing technology and deployed with our ComASUR® balloon-expandable delivery system (the “ComASUR® Delivery System”). ADAPT® is our proprietary anti-calcification tissue shaping technology that is designed to reengineer xenograft tissue into a pure, single-piece collagen bioscaffold. Our patented ADAPT® tissue has been clinically demonstrated to be calcium free for up to 10 years post-procedure, according to Performance of the ADAPT-Treated CardioCel® Scaffold in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Cardiac Anomalies: Medium to Long-Term Outcomes, published by William Neethling et al., and has been distributed for use in over 55,000 patients globally in other indications. Our ComASUR® Delivery System, which was developed in consultation with physicians, is designed to provide precise alignment with the heart’s native commissures to achieve accurate placement of the DurAVR® THV.
We intend to establish the safety and effectiveness of the DurAVR® THV in patients with severe aortic stenosis in our global pivotal study (the “PARADIGM Trial”).
The PARADIGM Trial is a prospective, randomized, controlled multicenter, international study wherein subjects will be randomized to receive either a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (“TAVR”) using the DurAVR® THV or TAVR using a commercially available and approved THV in an “All Comers Randomized Cohort.” The primary end point of the PARADIGM Trial is a composite of all-cause mortality, all stroke and cardiovascular hospitalization at one year post-procedure. The endpoint will be evaluated as a non-inferiority analysis. Subjects with a failed surgical bioprosthesis in need of a valve-in-valve TAVR will be enrolled in a separate parallel registry.
Recruitment to the PARADIGM Trial commenced
in Europe in October 2025, followed by receipt of FDA Investigational Device
Exemption (“IDE”) approval for the trial in November 2025. In April 2026, we
secured U.S. Medicare reimbursement eligibility for the global pivotal PARADIGM
Trial under a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) national
coverage policy. Eligible procedures performed at participating U.S. study
sites are covered under the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) National
Coverage Determination 20.32. This milestone supported the activation of our
initial U.S. sites as part of the PARADIGM Trial with
first patients enrolled and treated during May 2026.
Recruitment remains ongoing, with planned
expansion into additional countries to further accelerate patient enrollment.
The PARADIGM Trial is supported by early clinical experience from over 130
patients treated with the DurAVR® THV.
It is anticipated that the design of the PARADIGM Trial will provide the primary clinical evidence on which the FDA could base a decision for Premarket Approval (“PMA”), which is required for commercialization of the DurAVR® THV System in the United States. We anticipate CE Mark approval will progress in parallel to the PMA.
Financial Overview
As a development-stage company, we have incurred losses since our inception. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve or maintain profitability.
We expect expenses for our research, clinical validation, development, design, manufacturing and marketing will increase and, as a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations. Any future funding could involve a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all.
In January 2026, we completed an underwritten public offering, pursuant to which we issued and sold 40,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $5.75 per share (the “2026 Public Offering”) and a stock purchase agreement with Covidien Group S.à r.l. (“Medtronic”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Medtronic plc, pursuant to which we issued and sold to Medtronic 15,652,173 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $5.75 per share (the “Medtronic Private Placement”), which collectively generated gross proceeds of approximately $320.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees, and offering expenses.
Any failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to market our products.
Principles of Consolidation and Operating Segments
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts for our company, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities for which we have a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between such entities are eliminated.
Our management has determined that the activities of the business as reviewed by our Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our chief operating decision maker, are one segment, being the development and commercialization of the ADAPT® anti-calcification tissue. This is focused on the DurAVR® THV System.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue and Other Income
We currently derive revenue from the sale of regenerative tissue products. Such sales have historically been made principally to 4C Medical Technologies, Inc. (“4C”) and, in prior periods, to LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (“LeMaitre”), a distributor of medical products. In 2019, we sold the distribution rights for CardioCel™ and VascuCel™ to LeMaitre in order to focus on development of our proprietary ADAPT® tissue for the DurAVR® THV System and, in connection therewith, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which we manufactured and sold CardioCel™ and VascuCel™ products to LeMaitre. The Transition Services Agreement with LeMaitre expired in January 2025, and we do not expect to receive any future revenue from LeMaitre.
The Supply and License Agreement with 4C (the “4C Agreement”), had an initial seven-year term that ended on June 1, 2025, and under its terms would automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless either party provided written notice of non-renewal at least 180 days prior to the applicable renewal date. On November 26, 2025, we notified 4C that we would not renew the 4C Agreement for the next renewal term. The agreement will expire on June 1, 2026, and no early termination penalties are anticipated in connection with its non-renewal. The expiration of the 4C Agreement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial results.
Expenses
Our most significant expenses are research and development (“R&D”) and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Cost of products sold in 2026 reflects the manufacturing cost from the sale of regenerative tissue products to 4C. In 2025, cost of products sold also included manufacturing costs related to sales to LeMaitre. These expenditures include raw materials and consumables, plus other costs attributable to the manufacturing of these products.
R&D Expense
R&D has been a significant focus with investments in the DurAVR® THV System, including the DurAVR® THV, the ComASUR® Delivery System, a disposable crimper, and an expandable access sheath. These components are collectively managed as part of the overall DurAVR® THV System rather than as separate projects. Since late 2021, when our DurAVR® THV was first used in human trials in Tbilisi, Georgia, R&D efforts have focused on incorporating clinical insights to refine and advance the technology, supporting the pathway toward commercialization. These costs have included, among others, preclinical and clinical studies, design iterations, lab services, clinical data monitoring, project and site management, travel, data management and safety of the study.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Anteris team continued to expand global manufacturing capacity to scale for the PARADIGM Trial. All production (DurAVR® THV, ComASUR® Delivery System, crimper, E-sheath) is being scaled into new ISO Qualified Clean Room facilities, increasing manufacturing capacity relative to 2025 capacity levels. The transition to the new facilities aims for a reliable and scaled inventory supply to support the PARADIGM Trial. In addition, the gold-standard ADAPT® tissue for the DurAVR® THV is planned to be sourced from both the United States and Australia moving forward to help mitigate supply chain risks. This progress reflects the strategic deployment of capital into areas that support operational readiness and long-term growth capacity for clinical and commercial success.

Net Sales
Net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.5 million, compared to $0.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease of $0.1 million was primarily due to net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2025 included $0.3 million from the sale of CardioCel™ and VascuCel™ products to LeMaitre in connection with the Transition Services Agreement, which expired in January 2025, offset by an increase of net sales of tissue products to 4C increasing by $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year.
Cost of Products Sold
Cost of products sold during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.1 million, a decrease of $0.1 million (45%), compared to $0.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cost of products sold was primarily due to the inclusion in the three months ended March 31, 2025 of amounts associated with sales of CardioCel™ and VascuCel™ products under the Transition Services Agreement with LeMaitre. This decrease was partially offset by increased production volumes due to increases in demand for tissue products from 4C in 2026.
R&D Expense
R&D expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $17.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million (6%), compared to $16.5 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 related to the upscaling of manufacturing and quality capabilities, including process design and validation activities and the expansion of headcount, and an increase of $1.0 million related to activities linked to the PARADIGM Trial, including the scaling of our field based clinical team. These were partly offset by reduced DurAVR® product research costs of $2.0 million as we shifted our focus to clinical, regulatory and manufacturing activities ahead of the PARADIGM Trial.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $6.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million (22%) compared to the same period in the prior year, which increase was primarily due to higher employee related costs, increased share based payment expenses, and additional consulting costs.
Other non-operating income, net
Other non-operating income, net during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $1.7 million, an increase of $1.6 million compared to $0.1 million for the same period in the prior year, which increase was primarily due to interest earned on money-market fund deposits following the January 2026 capital raises.
Net Foreign Exchange (Losses)/Gains
Net foreign exchange losses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $0.1 million compared to $0.2 million of net foreign exchange losses for the same period in the prior year, which amounted to a decrease of $0.1 million (57%), primarily due to the change in foreign exchange rates on intercompany and cash balances. In the first quarter of 2026, the United States dollar depreciated by 2% relative to the Australian dollar (“AUD $”). In the first quarter of 2025, the United States dollar depreciated by 1% relative to the AUD $.
Income tax (expense)/benefit
Income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.5 million, compared to nil for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of $0.5 million, primarily due to the recognition of withholding tax expense incurred during the period in connection with amounts payable by the Company’s Swiss subsidiary.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity
We have experienced recurring operating losses and cash outflows from operating activities since inception. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $393.6 million and $370.5 million, respectively.
In recent years, our operations have primarily been financed through the issuance of capital stock as well as through convertible notes, sales of regenerative tissue products and R&D tax incentives from the Australian government. We have also generated additional funding through interest earned on cash deposits. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $283.2 million and $12.6 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had capital commitments of $3.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively relating to the lease of properties, and we did not have any other material capital expenditure commitments or contingent liabilities.
We anticipate that we will require additional funds in order to achieve our long-term goals including completing the R&D of our current products. We do not expect to generate significant revenue until we obtain regulatory approval to market and sell our products and sales of our products have commenced. We therefore expect to continue to incur substantial losses in the near future. However, based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Our future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend on many factors, including:
•
the scope, results and timing of clinical trials;
•
the costs of preparing and completing the PARADIGM Trial of our DurAVR® THV System;
•
the costs and time required to obtain PMA from the FDA for our DurAVR® THV System; and
•
the costs of establishing marketing, sales and distribution capabilities.
We may seek to raise any necessary capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings or debt financings. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we decide to raise capital by issuing equity securities, the issuance of such equity securities may result in dilution to our existing stockholders. We cannot give any assurance that we will be successful in completing any financings or that any such equity or debt financing will be available to us if and when required or on satisfactory terms.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $28.7 million, an increase of $7.2 million (33%), compared to $21.5 million in the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher cash expenditures for R&D, including costs relating to the upscaling of manufacturing capabilities including process design and validation activities, preparatory and ongoing activities linked to the PARADIGM Trial, an increase in salaries and wages from a growth in headcount and the timing of payments to suppliers, including the settlement of liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2025.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.2 million, compared to net cash provided of $1.1 million in the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $1.3 million (116%). This decrease was primarily due to the receipt of $1.4 million of deferred proceeds from LeMaitre in the prior year, relating to the 2019 sale of distribution rights, for which there was no corresponding inflow in the current year. Additionally, cash outflows for purchases of plant and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $0.1 million lower than in the same period in 2025.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $299.5 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1.1 million in the same period of the prior year, reflecting an increase of $300.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we received proceeds of $308.3 million from the issuance of shares of Common Stock net of underwriting fees, which were partially offset by $8.2 million of share issuance transaction costs. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, proceeds of $0.6 million were received related to share issues and cash outflows of $1.2 million were incurred related to transaction costs from the 2024 public offering. Additionally, we repaid $0.6 million of outstanding insurance-related supplier financing debt during the period, representing an increase of $0.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Leases
We lease laboratory and manufacturing facilities and offices. The leases typically include options to renew at which time the lease payments are subject to market adjustments and/or set price increases. Extension and termination options are included in a number of the leases to allow for flexibility in terms of corporate growth and managing the assets used in our operations. The leases expire between April 2026 and April 2030 and some include options to extend. At March 31, 2026, we had contractual commitments (on an undiscounted basis) for property leases of $3.5 million, which were recognized on a discounted basis at $3.0 million.

All properties are leased. Our properties are well maintained, are in good operating condition, and are suitable for current requirements. We do not anticipate difficulty in renewing existing leases as they expire or in finding alternative facilities.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, we entered into a long‑term lease arrangement for additional office and warehouse space in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota to address the upcoming expiration of certain significant facility arrangements and to support ongoing and planned operational and manufacturing activities. This lease will result in increased future lease payment obligations.
Commitments
At March 31, 2026, we had commitments to purchase $0.1 million of plant and equipment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have, and did not have during the periods presented, any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have used various accounting policies to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Management continually evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgments, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations regarding future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties and may be material.
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, “Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report. There were no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Consolidation of VIEs
We consolidate a VIE when the reporting entity (a) has an economic interest in another legal entity (known as a “variable interest”) that conveys more than insignificant exposure to potential losses of or benefits from the other legal entity; and (b) has power over the most significant economic activities of the legal entity. There is significant judgment over the analysis to determine whether an entity is a VIE, to determine whether we have a variable interest and to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
We determined that v2vmedtech, inc. (“v2vmedtech”) is a VIE and that we are the primary beneficiary of v2vmedtech. This determination is based on our having both power over the most significant activities of v2v, primarily through holding a majority of the positions on v2vmedtech’s board of directors (although v2vmedtech’s non-Anteris shareholder representative on the v2vmedtech board of directors presently maintains certain veto rights), controlling the appointment of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer roles, being the exclusive partner to develop v2vmedtech’s products, and benefits through equity ownership.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
See Note 2 to our condensed financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company” (an “EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act provides that an EGC can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an EGC to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards during the period in which we remain an EGC.
As a result, the information that we provide to our investors may be different than what you might receive from other public reporting companies. However, we may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early.
We are also a “smaller reporting company” (a “SRC”), as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We may continue to be a SRC even after we are no longer an EGC. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to SRCs. As a SRC, we will present only two years of audited annual financial statements, plus any required unaudited interim condensed financial statements, and related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a SRC, as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2026, management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, solely as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There are no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Previously Reported Material Weakness
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our management and our independent auditors identified material weaknesses in the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which remained unremediated as of December 31, 2025. The material weaknesses identified by our management and our independent auditors relate to (i) a lack of appropriately designed, implemented and documented procedures and controls, and (ii) deficiencies in the segregation of duties.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management has initiated and continues to implement a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses described above. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and through the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we implemented changes to our internal control over financial reporting, including enhancements to our control environment, improvements to process-level controls, and formal documentation of policies, processes, risks, and controls. Segregation of duties has been enhanced across the control environment and financial reporting systems through system automation, strengthened month-end controls, and enhanced review procedures. Management has commenced testing and is currently validating the operating effectiveness of these enhanced controls, and remediation actions are progressing as planned.
While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the design and implementation of our remediation is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as oversight by the Audit and Risk Committee. We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness.
PART II. Other Information
In the ordinary course of our operations, and from time-to-time, we are party to various claims and lawsuits.
We are not party to any material legal proceedings, and no such proceedings are, to management’s knowledge, threatened against us.
We face a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, or financial condition. Please refer to the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. Other than the supplemental risk factor provided below, there have been no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in such report that could materially impact our business, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, or financial condition.
Although we have received regulatory approvals to begin the PARADIGM Trial, there can be no guarantee that the study will be successful or that we will receive PMA from the FDA as a result.
Although we have received approval from the FDA to proceed with the PARADIGM Trial under the IDE, the current approval from the FDA to proceed could be revoked, the study could be unsuccessful, and PMA from the FDA may not be obtained or could be revoked. Even if we obtain PMA for our DurAVR® THV System, the FDA or other regulatory authorities may require expensive or burdensome post-market testing or controls. Any delay in, or failure to receive or maintain, clearance or approval for our DurAVR® THV System could prevent us from generating revenue or achieving profitability. Additionally, the FDA and other regulatory authorities have broad enforcement powers. Regulatory enforcement or inquiries, or other increased scrutiny on us, could dissuade some physicians from using our products and adversely affect our reputation and the perceived safety and efficacy of our products.

* The first Lease Month shall include any partial calendar at the beginning of the Term, and Monthly Minimum Rent shall apply to such partial Lease Month on a prorated basis based on the number of days in such calendar month. Provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease Agreement, (i) for the first three (3) full calendar months of the Term, Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Rent shall be completely abated, and (ii) for the first twelve (12) full calendar months of the Term, Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Rent, Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses shall instead be calculated based on 131,436 rentable square feet, resulting in a conditional abatement of Minimum Rent, Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses on 50,000 square feet of the Premises (all of the above, the “Abated Rents”). For clarification, the Monthly Minimum Rent during the first three (3) full calendar months of the Term shall be $0.00 and the Monthly Minimum Rent during the next nine (9) calendar months shall be $110,625.30. If the commencement date of the Term is not the first day of a calendar month, then Tenant shall pay Minimum Rent for the partial month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant defaults under this Lease Agreement beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall thereafter be obligated to pay all unamortized Abated Rents (amortized over months 13 to 132 of the Term at a rate of 8% per annum) to Landlord for such period as if the abatement for such period had never existed. During this period of Minimum Rent abatement, Tenant shall still be obligated to pay all other sums under this Lease Agreement, other than the Abated Rents.
Said monthly installments shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Term of this Lease Agreement or any extension or renewal thereof. If the first day of the Term shall be a day other than the first day of a calendar month or the last day of the Term shall be a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the Minimum Rent installment for such first or last fractional month shall be prorated accordingly. Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, which shall be collectible to the same extent as Minimum Rent, all amounts which may become due to Landlord under this Lease Agreement and any sales, use or similar tax (subject to limitations contained in Article 6(A)(ii)) that may be imposed upon the rents payable under this Lease Agreement by any governmental authority acting under any present or future law or regulation.
A.
Extension Option. Provided this Lease Agreement or Tenant’s right of possession hereunder has not been earlier terminated, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of this Lease Agreement as to all, but not less than all, of the Premises then being leased hereunder, for two (2) periods of eighty-four (84) months each beginning immediately following the end of the then-current Term (“Extended Term”) subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i)
Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of the exercise of Tenant’s right to extend the Term of this Lease Agreement at least nine (9) months, and no more than twelve (12) months, prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, time being of the essence (the “Extension Notice”). If no such Extension Notice is timely given, this Lease Agreement shall terminate as of the end of the then-current Term;
(ii)
Tenant shall have no right to exercise Tenant’s right to extend the Term of this Lease Agreement, and any such purported exercise shall be of no force or effect, if Tenant is in default under this Lease Agreement beyond the passage of any applicable period of cure, grace or notice at the time of giving the Extension Notice or at the commencement of the Extended Term; and
(iii)
The extension of the Term hereunder for the Extended Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the initial Term; provided, however, (a) Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term of this Lease Agreement under that option, (b) Article 4 shall not apply to the Extended Term and (c) the Minimum Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord in monthly installments during the Extended Term shall be the Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit C attached hereto) as reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of Tenant’s Extension Notice, but no earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable determination of the Market Rent for the Extended Term (“Landlord’s Market Rent Determination”). If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s Market Rent Determination for the Extended Term, the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of twenty (20) days following receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s Market Rent Determination as to the Minimum Rent payable during the Extended Term. If the parties are unable to agree in writing on the Minimum Rent payable during the Extended Term within said twenty (20) day period, the Minimum Rent payable during the Extended Term shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit C attached hereto.
ARTICLE 3. USE OF PREMISES
The Premises shall be used by Tenant for office, assembly, light manufacturing, as well as ancillary warehouse and storage uses and for no other purpose, subject to reasonable rules and regulations which may be promulgated by Landlord from time to time. Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of Landlord, use any apparatus, machinery, device or equipment in or about the Premises which will cause any substantial noise or vibration or any increase in the normal consumption level of electric power. Tenant shall only permit the storage of any materials, equipment or other personal property outside of the Building and the parking of motor vehicles outside of the Building overnight in accordance with the terms of any reciprocal easement and operating agreement or similar document recorded against the Property ("REOA") and in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of any applicable government authority.
A.
Any improvements to the Premises shall be made by Tenant at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, subject to all other provisions of this Lease Agreement

The costs of any changes or modifications to the HVAC or Building Systems shall be payable by Tenant directly. Landlord’s review and approval of any plans shall be for Landlord’s sole benefit and shall not create or imply any obligation on the part of Landlord to review the same for Tenant’s benefit, whether with respect to quality, design, compliance with laws or any other matter or with respect to the suitability of the improvements shown in such plans for Tenant’s use of the Premises.
A.
Except as otherwise provided, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Building in its as-is condition (the “Delivery Condition”) on or before the scheduled commencement date of the Term, but delivery of possession prior to such scheduled commencement date shall not affect the expiration date of this Lease Agreement. The date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Building to Tenant in the Delivery Condition is referred to as the “Delivery Date”). Failure of Landlord to deliver possession of the Premises by the scheduled commencement date of the Term due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or the Contractor, including, without limitation, labor or material shortages, strikes, casualty loss, acts of God, failure of an existing or prior tenant to vacate the Property, or failure by the City to timely approve any plans or issue a building permit (any of the foregoing being hereafter called an “Excused Delay”), shall automatically postpone the commencement date of the Term and shall extend the expiration date of this Lease Agreement accordingly.

Following Tenant's occupancy of the Premises and within ten (10) days of Landlord’s request, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a ratification agreement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto which shall set forth the final commencement and expiration dates of the Term, shall acknowledge the Minimum Rent, the square footage of the Premises and Building, delivery of the Premises in the condition required by this Lease Agreement and shall include such other matters as Landlord may reasonably request (hereafter called the “Ratification Agreement”).
B.
Early Access. During any period prior to the commencement of the Term that Tenant has, or is granted, the right to enter the Premises whether pursuant to this Lease Agreement or pursuant to a license, sublease or assignment of lease from the prior tenant (“Early Access”), Tenant agrees that such access or occupancy shall in all respects be the same as that of a tenant under this Lease Agreement (including insurance requirements), except the payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall commence as of the first day of the Term. During such Early Access, and except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its contractors, subcontractors or laborers, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, cost, damage or expense of any nature caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors or laborers. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for loss or damage to trade fixtures or equipment installed or left on the Premises. By occupying the Premises or Property during such period of Early Access or as a tenant, or to install trade fixtures or equipment, or to perform finishing work, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the same in their as-is condition and to have acknowledged that the Premises are in the condition required by this Lease Agreement except for the Landlord Work.

ARTICLE 12.
INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
A.
Tenant’s Insurance; Indemnity. Tenant will keep in force at its own expense for so long as this Lease Agreement remains in effect commercial general liability insurance insuring Tenant, on an “occurrence” rather than a “claims made” basis, against liability for bodily injury, property damage (including loss of use of property) and personal injury, which insurance shall (i) name Landlord, its property manager and such other parties as Landlord may designate, as additional insureds on a primary/noncontributory basis, (ii) use the standard ISO CGL or equivalent form of policy and be with companies acceptable to Landlord, and (iii) have a minimum limit of liability of One Million and 00/100ths Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Two Million and 00/100ths Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the aggregate. Said insurance shall also provide for contractual liability coverage. Tenant may satisfy its obligation hereunder to maintain commercial general liability insurance by Tenant’s primary policy or by such primary policy in combination with umbrella or excess policies so long as the coverage afforded is at least as broad as that required herein. The amount and coverage of such commercial general liability insurance shall not limit Tenant’s liability nor relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease Agreement. Tenant shall further maintain (i) statutory worker’s compensation insurance; (ii) Employer’s Liability limits of at least $1,000,000 Bodily Injury-Each Accident, Bodily Injury by Disease-Policy Limit, and Bodily Injury by Disease-Each Employee; (iii) Business Automobile liability insurance with combined single limits of $1 million per occurrence for bodily injury, and property damage, arising from the operation of owned, hired and non-owned vehicles, (iv) Umbrella/Excess Liability with a limit of not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate, providing coverage in excess of the general liability, employers liability, automobile liability policies required above; and (v) from and after any period during which Hazardous Materials are brought onto the Property by Tenant, Pollution Liability with a limit of not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate, and (vi) such other insurance covering the Premises and Tenant’s operation of the Premises, as may be reasonably required by Landlord. Tenant will continuously keep on deposit with Landlord for so long as this Lease Agreement remains in effect current certificate(s), including endorsements, and upon Landlord’s request, copies of the current policy or policies, including endorsements of the insurance required of Tenant under this Article, which shall provide that Landlord shall be notified in writing thirty (30) days prior to cancellation, material change, or failure to renew the insurance. Said liability insurance maintained by Tenant shall be primary without right of contribution. Liability insurance maintained by Landlord, if any, shall be excess and non-contributory. Tenant shall provide a waiver of subrogation endorsements in favor of Landlord for their policies. Policies must be provided by insurance companies with an A.M. Best Company, Inc. rating of “A- VII” or better.
B.
Tenant further covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord and Landlord's property manager harmless from and defend them against all claims, liabilities, judgments, demands, causes of action, losses, damages and costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, for damage to any property or injury to or death of any person arising or resulting from: (i) any act or omission by Tenant, its contractors, agents, employees or invitees in, at, or around the Premises or the Building; (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant; (iii) Tenant's failure to comply with any and all governmental laws, rules, ordinances or regulations applicable to the use of the Premises and its occupancy; and/or
(iv) any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease Agreement. Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Agreement. If Tenant shall not comply with its covenants made in this Article, Landlord may, at its option, cause insurance as aforesaid to be issued and in such event Tenant agrees to pay the premium for such insurance promptly upon Landlord's demand. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that the decision as to whether to include dock locks, dock restraints or other safety-related equipment, fixtures or improvements in the Building or elsewhere in the Leased Premises shall solely be the responsibility of Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnitees from and against any and all claims, damages, causes of action, demands, penalties, costs, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses at the trial and appellate levels) resulting from actual or threatened claims by third parties occasioned by injuries to any person and damage to, or theft or loss of, property occurring in or about the Leased Premises to the extent caused or alleged to be caused by the failure of any such safety-related equipment, fixtures or improvements to be installed or maintained at the Leased Premises.
C.
Tenant’s Property Insurance. Tenant shall maintain in force throughout the Term of this Lease Agreement, an ISO or equivalent form of “special perils” property insurance policy, including systems breakdown coverage upon all inventory, furnishings, equipment, trade fixtures and other personal property in or about the Premises and upon any alterations, additions, fixtures, or improvements in the Premises acknowledged by Landlord to be the property of Tenant. Such insurance shall be written on a replacement cost basis in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement value of the aggregate of the foregoing. Tenant shall further maintain business income insurance to cover a period of not less than twelve (12) months.
D.
Landlord’s Property Insurance. Landlord shall carry and cause to be in full force and effect an ISO or equivalent form of “special perils” property insurance policy on the Building, but not on any inventory, furnishings, equipment, trade fixtures or other personal property in or about the Premises. The premiums paid for such insurance and any other insurance maintained by Landlord for the Building shall be an Operating Expense.
E.
Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby release the other from any and all liability or responsibility to the other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for any loss or damage to property caused by any of the perils insured under an ISO or equivalent form of “special perils” property insurance policy or any other property insurance policy required to be maintained under this Lease Agreement, even if such loss or damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be responsible.
ARTICLE 13. NON-LIABILITY OF LANDLORD
Landlord will not be liable for any damage or injury to the person, business (or any loss of income therefrom), inventory, furnishings, equipment or other property of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, invitees, customers or any other person in or about the Premises or Building, whether such damage or injury to the person or property is caused by or results from: (i) fire, steam, electricity, water, gas or rain; (ii) the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures or any other cause; (iii) conditions arising in or about the Premises or Building, or from other sources or places; (iv) any curtailment or interruption in utility services; or (v) any act or omission of any other tenant of the Building (if any). The provisions of this Article will not exempt Landlord from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be liable for any consequential damages.
ARTICLE 14.
LOSS BY CASUALTY
A.
Following any fire or other casualty to the Property, Landlord shall, as soon as reasonably possible, provide Tenant of the estimated timeline for restoration of the same. If the Premises or any portion of the Property necessary to Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises should be substantially destroyed (which, as used herein, means destruction or damage to at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises) by fire or other casualty, either party hereto may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to the other party within ninety
(90) days of such casualty. In such event, the Rent shall be apportioned to and shall cease as of the date of such casualty. If neither party exercises this option, then the Premises shall be reconstructed and restored, at Landlord’s expense, to substantially the same condition as they were prior to the casualty.
B.
If the Premises should be rendered partially untenantable for the purpose for which they were leased by fire or other casualty and the Building is not substantially destroyed as provided above, then the parties hereto shall have the following options:
(i)
Tenant may require that the Premises be reconstructed and restored, at Landlord’s expense, to substantially the same condition as they were prior to the casualty, except for repair or replacement of Tenant’s personal property, equipment and trade fixtures, which shall remain Tenant’s responsibility. This option shall be exercised by Tenant giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of the casualty, and upon the exercise thereof Rent shall be abated from the date of the casualty until substantial completion of the reconstruction of the Premises and any portion of the Property necessary for Tenant to carry on its normal business activity on the Premises, whereupon this Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the balance of the Term upon the same terms, conditions and covenants as are contained herein. If this option is not so exercised by Tenant, Landlord shall then have the right and option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days following the expiration of Tenant’s option period, by the giving of written notice to Tenant, to reconstruct and restore the Premises and any portion of the Property necessary for Tenant to carry on its normal business activity on the Premises to substantially the same condition as they were prior to the casualty. In either such event, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the balance of the Term upon the same terms, conditions, and covenants as are contained herein; provided, however, that the Rent shall be abated from the date of the casualty until substantial completion of the reconstruction of the Premises and any portion of the Property necessary for Tenant to carry on its normal business activity on the Premises. If Landlord fails to timely exercise such option, this Lease shall be terminated as of the date of the casualty, to which date Rent shall be apportioned and shall cease.
(ii)
If the casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, either party shall have the right and option to terminate its Lease as of the date of the casualty, which option shall be exercised by written notice to be given by either party to the other party within thirty (30) days therefrom. If this option is exercised, Rent shall be apportioned to and shall cease as of the date of the casualty.
C.
Landlord shall use reasonable diligence in completing any reconstruction and repair under this Article 14, but in the event Landlord fails to complete the same within three hundred (300) days from the date of the casualty, Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease upon giving Landlord written notice to that effect, whereupon both parties shall be released from all further obligations and liability hereunder.
ARTICLE 15.
CONDEMNATION LOSS
Should all the Premises be taken in condemnation proceedings or by exercise of any right of eminent domain, then this Lease Agreement shall automatically terminate as of the date the condemning authority or the authority exercising its right of eminent domain takes possession of the Premises. If there is a partial taking but Tenant continues to occupy the Premises in part, the rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the unoccupied part of the Premises bears to the entire Premises. If, as a result of a partial taking, the Premises are no longer usable for the purpose(s) specified in Article 3 of this Lease Agreement, Tenant may terminate this Lease Agreement as of the date the condemning authority or the authority exercising its right of eminent domain takes possession of the Premises by giving written notice thereof to Landlord. If there is a partial taking of the Building or of the Parking Areas or other common areas of the Building, Landlord may terminate this Lease Agreement as of the date specified in the foregoing sentence by giving written notice thereof to Tenant. All damages awarded for any such taking shall belong to and be the property of Landlord irrespective of the basis upon which they are awarded provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Tenant from making a separate claim to the condemning authority for its moving expenses and trade fixtures, so long as such claim does not diminish the award available to Landlord and is payable separately to Tenant. For purposes of this Article, a taking by eminent domain shall include Landlord's giving of a deed under threat of condemnation.
ARTICLE 16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
A.
Tenant Assignment. Tenant agrees not to assign, sublet, license, mortgage or encumber this Lease Agreement, the Premises, or any part thereof, whether by voluntary act, operation of law, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Consent by Landlord in one such instance shall not be a waiver of Landlord's rights under this Article to require consent for any subsequent instance. If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other legal entity, a Change of Control (as defined below) in Tenant shall be considered an assignment of this Lease Agreement for purposes of this Article. Any purported assignment, subletting, licensing, mortgaging or other transfer of this Lease Agreement or the Premises hereunder by Tenant that does not comply with the provisions of this Article shall be void. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may, without the consent of Landlord, assign this Lease Agreement or sublet all or any part of the Premises to an Affiliate of Tenant (hereafter called a "Permitted Transfer"). As used herein, an "Affiliate" of Tenant shall be deemed to be any entity which either controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, with "control" meaning having a Controlling Interest (as defined below). As used herein, "Change of Control" means any transaction(s) resulting in the acquisition of a Controlling Interest in Tenant by one or more parties that did not own a Controlling Interest immediately before such transaction(s). "Controlling Interest" means any direct or indirect equity or beneficial ownership interest in Tenant that confers upon its holder(s) the direct or indirect power to direct the ordinary management and policies of Tenant, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise (but not through the ownership of voting securities listed on a recognized securities exchange). In connection with any assignment of this Lease Agreement or subletting of the Premises made or requested by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord (i) a processing fee of $1,500.00 and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorneys' fees. In the event Tenant desires to sublet a part or all of the Premises, or assign this Lease Agreement, including a Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days (ten (10) days in the case of a Permitted Transfer) prior to the proposed subletting or assignment, which notice shall state the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the terms of any sublease or assignment documents and shall include copies of financial statements or other relevant financial information of the proposed subtenant or assignee. Any rents and other consideration received by Tenant from an assignment of this Lease Agreement or subletting of the Premises which exceed the rents then payable by Tenant under this Lease Agreement shall be split (50% each after reimbursing reasonable and customary subletting costs) between Tenant to Landlord and paid to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder. At Landlord's option following a default by Tenant under this Lease Agreement, any and all payments by the subtenant with respect to the sublease shall be paid directly to Landlord. In any event no assignment or subletting, including a Permitted Transfer, shall release Tenant of its obligation to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder for the Term of this Lease Agreement. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. At Landlord's option and with the exception of a Permitted Transfer, Landlord may terminate this Lease Agreement in lieu of giving its consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease Agreement or subletting of all of the Premises (which termination may be contingent upon the execution of a new lease with the proposed assignee or subtenant).
B.
Landlord Assignment. Landlord's right to assign this Lease Agreement is and shall remain unqualified upon any sale or transfer of the Building and, provided the purchaser succeeds to the interests of Landlord under this Lease Agreement, Landlord shall thereupon be entirely freed of all obligations of the Landlord's hereunder and shall not be subject to any liability resulting from any act or omission or event occurring after such conveyance.
ARTICLE 17. MECHANICS' LIEN
In the event any mechanic's lien shall at any time be filed against the Premises or any part of the Building by reason of work, labor, services or materials performed or furnished to Tenant or to anyone holding the Premises through or under Tenant, Tenant shall forthwith cause the same to be discharged of record or file a bond with a court to bond over such lien. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien forthwith to be discharged within fifteen (15) days after being notified of the filing thereof, then, in addition to any other right or remedy for Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by bonding, and the amount so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in procuring the discharge of such lien, shall be due and payable in full by Tenant to Landlord on demand.
On the last day of the Term or upon the sooner termination thereof, Tenant shall peaceably vacate and surrender possession of the Premises in good condition and repair consistent with Tenant's duty to make repairs as provided in Article 7 hereof, including returning the Premises to at least as good of condition as of the Delivery Date. On or before the last day of the Term or the sooner termination thereof, Tenant shall at its expense remove all of its inventory, furnishings, equipment, trade fixtures and other personal property from the Premises, repairing any damage caused thereby, and any property not so removed shall be deemed forfeited to Landlord’s discretion of disposal at Tenant’s sole cost. At the election of Landlord, all alterations, additions and fixtures, other than Tenant's trade fixtures, which have been made or installed by either Landlord or Tenant upon the Premises shall remain as Landlord's property and shall be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof, or Landlord may require removal of the same at the end of the Term or upon the sooner termination thereof, in which event Tenant shall repair any damage caused thereby, provided, however, Tenant shall have no obligation hereunder to remove any of the Tenant Improvements unless prior to their construction, Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of those particular Tenant Improvements Landlord is requiring Tenant to remove. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall, without notice, be required at the end of the Term or upon the sooner termination thereof to restore any penetrations to the roof, shell of the Building, and any striping or bolts/holes in the slab of the Premises which are the result of the Tenant Improvements or the Work. It is specifically agreed that any and all telephonic, coaxial, ethernet, or other computer, word processing, facsimile, or electronic wiring installed for or by Tenant within the Premises (hereafter, "Wiring") shall be removed at Tenant's cost using a qualified contractor at the expiration of the Term, unless Landlord has specifically requested in writing that said Wiring shall remain, whereupon said Wiring shall be surrendered with the Premises as Landlord's property. If the Premises are not vacated and surrendered at the end of the Term or sooner termination thereof, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability and expense resulting from delay by Tenant in so vacating and surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay, which indemnity obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Agreement. Tenant shall promptly surrender all keys for the Premises to Landlord.
Tenant will, at the expiration of this Lease Agreement, whether by lapse of time or termination, vacate and surrender immediate possession of the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to vacate and surrender possession of the Premises, the Landlord may, at its option, serve written notice upon Tenant that such holdover constitutes the creation of a month-to-month tenancy. If Landlord does not give said notice, Tenant's holdover shall create a tenancy at sufferance. In any event, the tenancy shall be upon the terms and conditions of this Lease Agreement, except that the Minimum Rent shall be 125% of the Minimum Rent Tenant was obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease Agreement immediately prior to expiration (in the case of tenancy at sufferance such Minimum Rent shall be prorated on the basis of a 365 day year for each day Tenant remains in possession); excepting further that in the case of a tenancy at sufferance, no notices shall be required prior to commencement of any legal action to regain possession of the Premises. The provisions of this Article shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any right of re-entry as otherwise available to Landlord; nor shall receipt of any rent or any other act in apparent affirmance of the tenancy operate as a waiver of the right to terminate this Lease Agreement for a breach by Tenant hereof.
ARTICLE 20.
DEFAULT OF TENANT
A.
If any one or more of the following occurs: (1) a rent payment or any other payment due from Tenant to Landlord shall be and remain unpaid in whole or in part for more than ten (10) days after receipt of written notice that the same is past due, provided however that Landlord shall only be obligated to provide two (2) such notices in any 12-month period, and thereafter it shall be a default if a rent payment or any other payment due from Tenant to Landlord shall be and remain unpaid in whole or in part for more than ten (10) days after the same is due; (2) Tenant shall violate or default on any of the other covenants, agreements, stipulations or conditions herein, or in any parking agreement(s) or other agreements between Landlord and Tenant relating to the Premises, and such violation or default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord of such violation or default, except that if a specific time period following notice by Landlord for Tenant to cure such violation or default is set forth elsewhere in this Lease Agreement, no additional period of notice and cure shall be afforded under this Article; (3) Tenant shall commence or have commenced against Tenant proceedings under a bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency or similar type of action; or (4) Tenant shall purport to assign this Lease Agreement or sublet, license, mortgage or transfer this Lease Agreement or the Premises hereunder in violation of the provisions of Article 16 of this Lease Agreement; then it shall be optional for Landlord, without further notice or demand, to cure such default or to declare this Lease Agreement forfeited and the said Term ended, or to terminate only Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, and to re-enter the Premises, subject to applicable law, and Landlord shall not be liable for damages by reason of such forfeiture or re-entry; but notwithstanding re-entry by Landlord or termination only of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, the liability of Tenant for the rent and all other sums provided herein shall not be relinquished or extinguished for the balance of the Term of this Lease Agreement and Landlord shall be entitled to periodically sue Tenant for all sums due under this Lease Agreement or which become due prior to judgment, but such suit shall not bar subsequent suits for any further sums coming due thereafter. Tenant shall be responsible for, in addition to the rentals and other sums agreed to be paid hereunder, the cost of any necessary maintenance, repair, restoration, reletting (including related cost of removal or modification of tenant improvements) or cure as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or awarded in any suit or action instituted by Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Lease Agreement, regain possession of the Premises, or the collection of the rentals due Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall also be liable to Landlord for the payment of a late charge in the amount of five percent (5%) of the rental installment or other sum due Landlord hereunder if said payment has not been received within ten (10) days from the date said payment becomes due and payable. Tenant agrees to pay interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum permissible rate under the applicable usury statutes, whichever is less, on all rentals and other sums due Landlord hereunder not paid within ten
(10) days from the date same become due and payable. All of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease Agreement shall be cumulative with and in addition to any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have at law or in equity. Any specific right or remedy provided for in any provision of this Lease Agreement shall not preclude the concurrent or consecutive exercise of a right or remedy provided for in any other provision hereof.
B.
Notwithstanding anything in Article 20 A above or elsewhere in this Lease Agreement to the contrary, in the event Tenant shall vacate the Premises for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days (other than due to casualty loss or for temporary purposes such as remodeling or renovation), such vacation by Tenant alone shall not be deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease Agreement, but in such case Landlord shall have the option, but not the obligation, to terminate this Lease Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to Tenant.
ARTICLE 21. DEFAULT OF LANDLORD
Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease Agreement until the Tenant has given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of the default and Landlord does not cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice or within such reasonable time thereafter as may be necessary to cure such default where such default is of such a character as to reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to cure.
ARTICLE 22. ALTERATIONS
Tenant shall not make any alterations, repairs, additions or improvements in or to the Premises (for purposes of this Article, any of the foregoing being referred to as the “Work”) or add, disturb or in any way change any Building Systems, locks, or structural portions of the Building without the prior written consent of the Landlord as to the character of the Work, the manner of doing the Work, and the contractor(s) doing the Work, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition to Landlord’s consent to Work proposed by Tenant, Landlord may impose such conditions with respect thereto as Landlord deems appropriate, including, without limitation, requiring Tenant to remove such Work at the end of the Term and restore and repair any damages resulting from such removal (which shall be deemed required in the absence of Landlord’s written consent or agreement to the contrary), requiring Tenant to furnish surety performance and/or payment bonds or other security for the payment of all costs incurred in connection with such Work, insurance against liabilities that may arise out of such Work, and plans and specifications approved by Landlord and permits necessary for such Work. If such Work is performed by contractor(s) not retained by Landlord, Tenant shall upon completion of such Work, (i) deliver to Landlord evidence that payment for all such Work has been made by Tenant, contractors’ affidavits and full and final mechanic’s lien waivers and (ii) (x) for contractors managed by Tenant, pay to Landlord a construction supervision fee of 1.5% of the total cost of such Work, and (y) for contractors managed by Landlord, pay to Landlord a construction supervision fee of 3.0% of the total cost of such Work, but in no event less than $1,500.00 to reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred by its construction manager in inspecting and supervising such Work. All such Work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner using quality materials and shall comply with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord free and harmless from any liability, loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) by reason of any of such Work. The provisions of Article 17 of this Lease Agreement shall apply to all Work performed under this Article.
Insurance for Contractors. Tenant shall have a written agreement with all contractors hired in connection with the Premises and such agreement shall include insurance requirements to meet or exceed all those specified on Exhibit D attached hereto, unless otherwise approved in writing by Landlord. Any insurance limits required by this Agreement for contractors are minimum limits only and not intended to restrict the liability imposed for work performed under such agreement. The insurance required herein shall not limit the indemnifications required of the Contractor or their subcontractors in favor of the Tenant, Landlord, or any indemnified parties under any indemnification agreements.
Tenant shall have the right to erect exterior building signage and monument signage allocated to the Premises up to Tenant’s pro rata share of signage rights, provided that such signage is in conformance with this Article. No signage of any type or description shall be erected, placed or painted in or about the Premises or Building which is visible from the exterior of the Premises unless (i) a rendering of such signage has first been submitted to, and approved by Landlord in writing, (ii) such signage is in conformance with Landlord’s sign criteria established for the Building, if any and (iii) such signage is in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, expressly including those of the City. In addition to the foregoing, all illuminated or electrified signs must comply with Landlord’s sustainability plan regarding light pollution, intensity, efficiency, and hours of operation. Tenant agrees to maintain its signage in good repair, and to hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, or damages resulting from the erection, existence, maintenance, or removal of the signage. Landlord may without notice enter the Premises at any time and, at the expense of Tenant, remove unauthorized signs without liability for damages. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Agreement, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense and using a qualified contractor, remove Tenant’s signage and repair and restore the Premises and Building to the condition that existed prior to the installation of such signage, including, but not limited to, the removal of any discoloration. Landlord may display any ENERGY STAR or other third-party sustainability certification plaques the Building may have from time to time in locations designated by Landlord.
Tenant agrees that no additional locks will be placed on any of the exterior doors to the Premises without the written consent of Landlord. Landlord and its employees, agents and contractors shall have the right, upon reasonable verbal notice to Tenant at the Premises (except that no notice need be given in the case of an emergency) and without any diminution of rent or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant, to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect, to conduct environmental tests, to make repairs, to exhibit the Premises to existing and prospective Mortgagees and prospective purchasers, to maintain the Building, and during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease Agreement or if Tenant has vacated the Premises, to exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants and to place upon the doors or in the windows of the Premises any usual or ordinary "For Lease" signs.
ARTICLE 25.
SUBORDINATION
It is mutually agreed that this Lease Agreement shall be subordinate to any and all mortgages, including any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof now or hereafter imposed on the Building by Landlord, provided the mortgagee (“Mortgagee”) named in any such mortgage shall agree to recognize this Lease Agreement and not disturb Tenant’s rights hereunder in event of foreclosure so long as the Tenant is not in default under this Lease Agreement. This subordination and non-disturbance shall be self-operative and no further certificate or instrument of subordination need be required by any Mortgagee of Landlord. In the event Landlord's Mortgagee wishes to waive the subordination right set forth in this Article, then upon written notice to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior in encumbrance to said mortgage. In confirmation of such subordination or priority, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof, execute and deliver any instrument, as required by Landlord's Mortgagee.
ARTICLE 26.
RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD
Landlord shall have the following rights, exercisable without liability by Landlord to Tenant: (a) to change the Building’s name and/or street address; (b) to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and in the interior of the Building; (c) to change the common areas of the Property. Landlord also reserves all airspace rights above, below and to all sides of the Premises; and (d) to grant anyone the exclusive right to conduct any business or render any service in or to the Building, so long as it does not exclude Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises.
Each party represents to the other party that the representing party is not (and such party is not engaged in this transaction on behalf of) a person or entity which is prohibited from doing business pursuant to any law, regulation or executive order pertaining to national security (hereafter called the “Anti-Terrorism Laws”); and such party has not violated and, to the best of such party’s knowledge it is not under investigation for, the violation of any Anti-Terrorism Laws pertaining to money laundering. “Anti-Terrorism Laws”, as referenced above, shall specifically include, but shall not be limited to, the USA Patriot Act; the USA Freedom Act; Executive Order 13224, as amended; the Bank Secrecy Act; the Trading with the Enemy Act; the International Emergency Economic Powers Act; sanctions and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), as well as laws related to the prevention and detection of money laundering in 18 U.S.C. Sections 1956 and 1957.
This Lease Agreement does not create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture or of any association between Landlord and Tenant, the sole relationship between Landlord and Tenant being that of lessor and lessee. No waiver of any default by a party hereunder shall be implied from any omission by the non-defaulting party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the express waiver and that only for the time and to the extent therein stated. The covenants of Tenant to pay the Minimum Rent and the Additional Rent are each independent of any other covenant, condition, provision or agreement contained in this Lease Agreement. The marginal or topical headings of the several paragraphs and clauses are for convenience only and do not define, limit or construe the contents of such paragraphs or clauses. All preliminary negotiations are merged into and incorporated in this Lease Agreement. This Lease Agreement may only be modified or amended by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto. All provisions hereof shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and assigns of each party hereto. The place at which Tenant is to pay all rent shall be designated in a separate writing from Landlord. This Lease Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State of Minnesota.

No receipt or acceptance by Landlord from Tenant of less than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a partial payment on account for any due and unpaid stipulated rent; no endorsement or statement of any check or any letter or other writing accompanying any check or payment of rent to Landlord shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept and negotiate such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's rights to (i) recover the remaining balance of such unpaid rent or (ii) pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease Agreement. Neither party shall record this Lease Agreement or any memorandum thereof, and any such recordation shall be a breach of this Lease Agreement, void and without effect.

ARTICLE 30.
SECURITY DEPOSIT
On or before the date hereof, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a clean, irrevocable and unconditional standby letter of credit payable at sight in a form acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion (“Letter of Credit”) issued by a bank or financial institution and branch, all approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion (hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”) in favor of Landlord, in the amount of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500,000.00) as security for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Lease, including without limitation the surrender of possession of the Premises to Landlord as herein provided. The Letter of Credit shall have a term which expires no sooner than forty-five days after the expiration date of the Term, or Tenant may deliver a one (1) year unconditional and irrevocable Letter of Credit which by its terms automatically, for the remainder of the Term, renews for successive one (1) year periods unless the Bank provides no less than sixty (60) days written notice to Landlord that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, in which event Landlord shall have the right to draw down the entire amount of the Letter of Credit unless Tenant substitutes, prior to the expiration of such Letter of Credit, a new Letter of Credit which meets the requirements of this Article 30. The Letter of Credit shall permit multiple drawings and be fully transferable by Landlord without the payment of any fees or charges by Landlord. If Tenant defaults in respect of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Lease including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent, and Tenant fails to cure any such default after any required notice and within any applicable grace or cure period hereunder or if Landlord receives a notice that the Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, (i) Landlord shall have the right to require the Bank to make payment to Landlord or its designee of the entire proceeds of the Letter of Credit, and (ii) Landlord may, at the option of Landlord (but Landlord shall not be required to) apply or retain the whole or any part of such sum so paid to it by Tenant or the Bank to the extent required for the payment of any Rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default, and any damages to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to the Lease, whether such damages accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord, and (iii) Landlord shall hold the remainder of such sum paid to it by the Bank or Tenant, if any, for Landlord’s benefit, as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, with the same rights as hereinabove set forth to apply or retain the same in the event of any further default by Tenant under this Lease. If Landlord applies or retains any part of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall, within seven (7) business days after demand from Landlord, restore the Letter of Credit to its original amount and deliver it to Landlord or its designee so that Landlord or its designee shall have the full Letter of Credit on hand at all times during the Term of this Lease (and any extension). Tenant’s failure to do so within seven (7) days after such demand from Landlord shall constitute a breach of this Lease.
In the event of a transfer, sale or lease of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer or cause to be transferred either the cash or Letter of Credit or any sums collected thereunder by Landlord, together with any other sums then held by Landlord or its designee as such security, to the transferee. Tenant, at its sole cost, shall arrange for the transfer of the Letter of Credit, and upon such transfer Landlord thereupon shall be released by Tenant from all liability under this Section. Tenant agrees to look solely to the new landlord for the return of the cash or Letter of Credit or any sums collected thereunder and any other security, and the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Letter of Credit or any sums collected thereunder and any other security to a new landlord. Tenant further covenants that it shall not assign or encumber, or attempt to assign or encumber, any part of such security and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance. Landlord shall not be required to exhaust its remedies against Tenant before having recourse to the Letter of Credit or such cash security held by Landlord. Recourse by Landlord to the Letter of Credit or such security shall not affect any remedies of Landlord which are provided in this Lease or which are available to Landlord in law or equity.
If Tenant fully and faithfully complies with this Lease, the Letter of Credit, except as same may have been applied by Landlord in accordance with this Lease, shall be returned to Tenant promptly after the expiration of this Lease.
If at any time (a) the financial institution that provided the Letter of Credit is either (i) closed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other governmental authority, or (ii) declared insolvent by the FDIC for any reason, or (b) Landlord reasonably believes that such financial institution will either be (y) closed by the FDIC or any governmental authority, or (z) declared insolvent by the FDIC for any reason, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after either the occurrence of such closure or declaration of insolvency or notice from Landlord that Landlord reasonably believes that such financial institution will close or be declared insolvent, either (1) provide Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit satisfying all of the terms of this section, or (2) post a cash security deposit in the amount of the Letter of Credit with Landlord, failing which a Default shall be deemed to have occurred as of the end of such thirty (30) day period.
A.
Initial Reduction. Beginning on the date which Tenant achieves full non-trial approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for commercial sales of Tenant’s DurAVR product (“Initial Potential Reduction Date”), Tenant shall have the right to reduce the Letter of Credit Face Amount by the sum of $750,000.00, provided that (i) Tenant has made at least 12 monthly Minimum Rent payments following the commencement date of the Lease and (ii) during the 12-month period immediately preceding the effective date of any such reduction (A) Tenant has timely paid all Rent due under this Lease (within any applicable cure or grace period), and (B) Tenant has not been in default under any provision of this Lease and failed to cure such default within any applicable cure period.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 30 to the contrary, there shall be no return or reduction of the Letter of Credit to Tenant at any time while Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease.
B.
Second Reduction. At any time following the Initial Reduction (“Second Potential Reduction Date”), Tenant shall have the right to further reduce the Letter of Credit Face Amount by the sum of $750,000.00, provided that (i) during the 12-month period immediately preceding the effective date of any such reduction (A) Tenant has timely paid all Rent due under this Lease (within any applicable cure or grace period), and (B) Tenant has not been in default under any provision of this Lease and failed to cure such default within any applicable cure period, and (ii) the following conditions precedent have been satisfied as evidenced by Tenant’s Annual Financial Statement for the preceding 12-month period:

In order to effect any such reduction in the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit or a replacement letter of credit in the new amount that otherwise complies with all other applicable requirements specified in this Article 30, and the reduction so effectuated in accordance with this Article 30 shall be referred to herein as the “Second Reduction”. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 30 to the contrary, there shall be no return or reduction of the Letter of Credit to Tenant at any time while Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease.
C.
Third Reduction. At any time which is at least 12 months following the Second Reduction (“Third Potential Reduction Date”), Tenant shall have the right to further reduce the Letter of Credit Face Amount by the sum of $750,000.00, provided that (i) during the 24-month period immediately preceding the effective date of any such reduction (A) Tenant has timely paid all Rent due under this Lease (within any applicable cure or grace period), and (B) Tenant has not been in default under any provision of this Lease and failed to cure such default within any applicable cure period, and (ii) the following conditions precedent have been satisfied as evidenced by Tenant’s Annual Financial Statement for the preceding 24-month period:
(1.) All fiscal quarters of Tenant’s certified financial statements show positive “EBITDA” (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense) during such preceding 24-month period.
In order to effect any such reduction in the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit or a replacement letter of credit in the new amount that otherwise complies with all other applicable requirements specified in this Article 30, and the reduction so effectuated in accordance with this Article 30 shall be referred to herein as the “Third Reduction”. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 30 to the contrary, there shall be no return or reduction of the Letter of Credit to Tenant at any time while Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 30 to the contrary, following the Initial Reduction Tenant shall have to further right to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit.
Each of the parties represents and warrants that except only as may be provided below in this Article, there are no claims for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees (collectively “Leasing Commissions”) in connection with this Lease Agreement, and agrees to indemnify the other party against, and hold it harmless from all liabilities arising from any claim for Leasing Commissions asserted by a broker, agent or other person or entity claiming through the indemnifying party, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that Jones Lang LaSalle ("Tenant's Broker") is Tenant's exclusive broker in connection with this Lease.
