Exhibit 99.4

 

Subject: Big, Big News for Hyperfine and Liminal Sciences!

 

Hello Hyperfine and Liminal Sciences Teams,

 

Some days are even better than others when you’re helping to change the world. Today is one AWESOME day!

 

I have fantastic news to share. This morning, Hyperfine and Liminal Sciences announced our first steps to become a public company.

 

Yes, we are talking about the companies that you built, which we anticipate will soon be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

Let’s take a moment and think about our history. Drawn toward a unique vision to transform MRI and brain monitoring, and fueled by courage, dedication, and humility, we have created significant, newfound clinical capabilities. Things we had to prove possible to ourselves before we could begin to tell others. The culmination of that work brings us to today.

 

Thank you for being part of this incredible moment!

 

As part of our path forward, Hyperfine and Liminal Sciences will become one, united entity. We are thrilled to bring these platforms together, and we anticipate a bright future for the combined organization across MRI, brain monitoring, and image-guided surgical intervention.

 

Importantly, we expect that our jobs and mission will remain substantially the same. I will lead the combined organization of Hyperfine and Liminal Sciences. Dr. Jonathan Rothberg will be a member of the combined organization’s Board of Directors, and Scott Huennekens will be our Executive Chairman. Our day-to-day objectives and long-term vision are undeterred. Actually, we believe that as a public company we will improve our access to greater funding, which we expect will help us to continue our growth and touch more lives, faster.

 

How and why is this happening?

 

We have entered into a business combination agreement with HealthCor Catalio Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), a public company whose shares are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“”Nasdaq”). SPACs are also known as “blank check” companies and they are formed with a purpose to combine with an operating business (like ours) to help accelerate its growth. This is a different, and we believe a more efficient, path to going public and raising capital relative to a traditional IPO. Upon the closing of the business combination, HealthCor Catalio Acquisition Corp. will be renamed as Hyperfine, Inc., and the combined company’s Class A common stock is expected to be listed on Nasdaq under ticker symbol “HYPR.”

 

We believe that becoming a public company will allow us to raise the capital required to help us advance our vision and support future growth plans. This is a critical milestone and momentous achievement for Hyperfine and Liminal. Further, we believe it validates the disruptive potential of our innovative technologies.

 

What’s next?

 

Today’s announcement is just the first step in our transition. Several things need to be completed before the business combination closes and we become a public company. These primarily include SEC filings and regulatory review as well as the approval HealthCor’s shareholders and Hyperfine’s and Liminal’s stockholders. During this time, we will continue to operate as an independent company and there will be no changes to your role or responsibilities. We encourage everyone to remain focused on your day-to-day work and achieving your current objectives.

 

We intend be as transparent as possible during this transition, and we are committed to keeping you updated when we can. That said, because of heightened legal requirements placed on all public companies, we are not able to share every detail during this time. Written communication about the transaction may be required to be filed publicly. So please avoid discussing the transaction over email, and please be careful about posting anything to Slack (remember that Slack is similar to email). If you have any questions or concerns to share, please see your manager or email investors@hyperfine.io.

 

 

 

 

We also need you to exercise a high degree of discretion and confidentiality. This announcement may generate interest from the media or other third parties who may contact you in search of more information. If you receive any inquiries, including from former Hyperfine or Liminal Sciences employees, please do not share ANY information. If asked about the announcement by friends and family, please only share public information that is included in the press release we issued this morning. You are welcome to share our press release and our companies’ public social media posts (you may re-post, re-tweet, etc.) if you refrain from adding or discussing further information regarding the transaction.

  

Let’s Celebrate!

 

Later this morning, let’s get together at our All Feet Meeting  to enjoy the moment, talk, and take your questions. Afterward, we’ll have lunch outside in Guilford.

 

In the meantime, I encourage you to read our press release [LINK] and watch the recording of our corporate presentation, which is available at [LINK]. In addition, we have attached a Q&A file with more information about the transaction and what it means for you, and we will be circulating more details about equity implications over the coming week.

 

Big day here, team! If you joined us seven years or seven days ago, know that you have the full applause of the Hyperfine and Liminal Sciences leadership teams. Thank you for being so awesome!

 

- Dave
