FORM 10 INFORMATION

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Adagio’s or New Adagio’s future financial or operating performance. For example, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including post-Business Combination fully diluted equity value, the anticipated enterprise value of New Adagio, expected ownership in New Adagio, projections of market opportunity and market share, the capability of Adagio’s or New Adagio’s business plans including its plans to expand, the sources and uses of cash from the Business Combination, any benefits of Adagio’s partnerships, strategies or plans as they relate to the Business Combination, anticipated benefits of the Business Combination and expectations related to the terms and timing of the Business Combination, Adagio’s expected pro forma cash, Adagio’s or New Adagio’s expected cash runway through 2025 or statements related to Adagio’s or New Adagio’s funding gap, funded business plan or use of proceeds, or other metrics or statements derived therefrom, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “propose,” “seek,” “should,” “strive,” “will,” or “would” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may be beyond the control of Adagio or New Adagio and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Adagio and its management and New Adagio and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Each of Adagio and New Adagio cautions you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known and projections of the future, which are inherently uncertain. There are risks and uncertainties described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating to the Business Combination, which has been filed by ListCo with the SEC, and described in other documents filed by ARYA or New Adagio from time to time with the SEC. These filings may identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. New Adagio cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Current Report will prove to be accurate.

In addition, new risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it may not be possible to identify and accurately predict the potential impacts of any such risks and uncertainties that may arise in the future. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the outcome of any potential litigation, government or regulatory proceedings that may be instituted against Adagio, New Adagio or others; (2) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (3) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Adagio or New Adagio as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (4) Adagio’s ability to remain compliant with the covenants of its existing debt, including any convertible or bridge financing notes; (5) New Adagio’s ability to remain compliant with the covenants of, and other obligations under, the senior secured convertible notes that were issued in connection with the closing of the Business Combination; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of New Adagio to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (7) costs related to the Business Combination; (8) risks associated with changes in applicable laws or regulations and Adagio’s or New Adagio’s international operations and operations in a regulated industry; (9) the possibility that Adagio or New Adagio may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (10) Adagio’s or New Adagio’s use of proceeds, post-Business Combination fully diluted equity value or fully diluted enterprise value, expected pro forma cash, expected cash runway or funding gap, estimates of expenses and profitability; and (11) the other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in other documents to be filed with the SEC by New Adagio. There may be additional risks that Adagio or New Adagio does not presently know or that Adagio or New Adagio currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may materially differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Adagio and New Adagio.


Nothing in this Current Report should be regarded as a representation or warranty by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved, in any specified time frame, or at all. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made in this Current Report. Subsequent events and developments may cause those views to change. Neither Adagio nor New Adagio undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.

Business

Adagio is a medical device company developing and placing on the EU market innovative ablation technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (“AF”), atrial flutter (“AFL”), and ventricular tachycardia (“VT”). Adagio’s unique technology portfolio consists of Ultra-Low Temperature Cryoablation (“ULTC”) by itself, and in combination with Pulsed Field Ablation (Pulsed Field Cryoablation or “PFCA”), both developed with the vision that ability to consistently create durable, contiguous, and transmural myocardial lesions is essential for improving the effectiveness and outcomes of cardiac ablations in both atria and ventricles, and a key to unlocking sizeable market opportunities within the fast-growing segment of advanced electrophysiology (“EP”) ablation catheters. In contrast to the common practice of reutilizing once-established catheter design and energy source for multiple anatomic and physiologic targets, Adagio purpose builds its product portfolio to maximize effectiveness, enabled by the strength and flexibility provided by the foundational physical principles of our technology. Adagio has established a robust cadence of the clinical trials designed to evaluate its technology and gain regulatory approvals across the entirety of the product portfolio, with the preliminary data suggestive of outcomes, such as the combination of safety, acute and chronic effectiveness, favorable to the current standard of care, i.e. ablations performed using radiofrequency (“RF”), cryoballoon (“CRYO”) and emerging pulsed field ablation (“PFA”) catheters and energy sources, as applicable based on the arrhythmia type. Although direct comparisons in head-to-head randomized trials have not been performed, such favorable outcomes in PsAF patients in the first-in-human CRYOSURE-2 trial include 85% freedom from AF in patients after a single ULTC procedure (versus 51%-65% reported for other catheter technologies) and 98.5% of subjects in the device cryomapping cohort did not experience device-related complications. In VT patients in the first-in-human CRYOCURE-VT trial, such favorable outcomes include a 0% rate of major adverse events (versus 11.5% significant complications, including deaths, reported for VT ablation procedures using other catheter technologies), 94% acute procedural success, 60% freedom from sustained VT and 81% freedom from implantable cardioverter defibrillator shock at six months. Adagio’s iCLAS™ ULTC System and VT ULTC System (inclusive of vCLAS™ catheter) have obtained regulatory approvals in the EU for commercialization, and the approval for the PFCA System (inclusive of Cryopulse™ catheter) will be sought after completion of the PARALELL trial. In the U.S., both iCLAS and VT ULTC systems remain subject to receipt of regulatory approvals upon completion of the ongoing or planned pivotal clinical trials, while the pathway to regulatory approval of PFCA system remains under consideration. For more detailed information, see “Business of Adagio and Certain Information About Adagio—Business Summary—Adagio Product Portfolio” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Adagio has incurred net losses in each quarterly and annual period since inception and has not yet generated any meaningful revenue. Adagio expects to incur increasing costs as it continues to devote substantially all of its resources towards the development and anticipated further commercialization of its products, including iCLAS, vCLAS and Cryopulse. Adagio incurred net losses of $38.1 million and $23.7 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, it had an accumulated deficit of $135.2 million. Please see the section entitled “Risk Factors–Risks Related to Adagio’s Business” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for a discussion of the risks and challenges that Adagio faces in operating its business and implementing its strategy.

As explained in the section titled “Adagio’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview” and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Adagio’s management does not believe its current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements, which Adagio’s management believes raises substantial doubt about Adagio’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Adagio’s business is further described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Business of Adagio and Certain Information About Adagio” beginning on page 237 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and that information is incorporated herein by reference.


New Adagio was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of ARYA solely for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination and serves as the publicly traded parent company following the Closing. New Adagio was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 19, 2023. New Adagio owns no material assets other than the 100% issued and outstanding shares of stock of both Adagio and ARYA, and does not operate any business.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) filed by Adagio Medical Holdings, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 6, 2024 and, if not defined in the Form 8-K, the Proxy Statement.
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of ListCo, ARYA and Adagio adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, assumes that the Business Combination occurred on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2023, the beginning of the earliest period presented.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with:
 

the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;
 

the historical unaudited financial statements of ListCo as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the historical audited financial statements of ListCo as of December 31, 2023 and for the period from December 19, 2023 (inception) to December 31, 2023 and the related notes, as filed in ListCo’s proxy statement/prospectus on July 11, 2024;
 

the historical unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of ARYA as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the historical audited financial statements of ARYA as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes, as filed in ListCo’s proxy statement/prospectus on July 11, 2024;
 

the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Adagio as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Adagio as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes; and
 

other information relating to ListCo, ARYA and Adagio, including the Business Combination Agreement and the description of certain terms thereof set forth under ‘‘Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal,’’ as well as the disclosures contained in the sections titled ‘‘ARYA’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’’ and ‘‘Adagio’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’’ as filed in ListCo’s proxy statement/prospectus on July 11, 2024.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what New Adagio’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of New Adagio. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma transaction accounting adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

Further, in connection with the Business Combination, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, the ancillary documents and the transactions, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, are paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses.

Note 2. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The Business Combination has been accounted for as a forward-merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ListCo has been treated as the ‘‘accounting acquirer’’ and Adagio as the ‘‘accounting acquiree’’ for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting is based on FASB ASC 805 and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date, with limited exceptions per ASC 805-20-30-12 through 30-23. As such, under the acquisition method of accounting, ListCo’s assets and liabilities retain their carrying amounts, and the assets and liabilities of Adagio, including any intangible assets recognized in connection with the Business Combination, are recorded at their fair values, except as otherwise required, which are measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
 
ListCo has been treated as the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
 

Adagio is an early-stage business and there are significant risks and uncertainties surrounding Adagio proceeding to the next stage of development and commercialization.  Therefore, upon consummation of the Business Combination, there is uncertainty whether Adagio’s equity at risk will be sufficient to finance Adagio’s activities and ongoing development without additional subordinated financial support. Therefore, Adagio is considered a Variable Interest Entity (‘‘VIE’’) and the primary beneficiary of Adagio will be treated as the accounting acquirer.
 

ListCo will be the primary beneficiary of Adagio. ListCo will hold 100% of the voting rights of Adagio and will control the Board of Directors of Adagio.  Therefore, ListCo will have the sole power to control the significant activities that will significantly impact Adagio’s economic performance.
 

ListCo’s equity interest in Adagio will result in the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb the losses of Adagio that could be significant to ListCo.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include the adjustment related to Sponsor Earn-Out Shares (as defined below). The Sponsor Earn-Out Shares, which is classified as equity, are subject to the Share Trigger Price Vesting. At any time during the period following the ARYA Merger and expiring on the 10th anniversary of the Closing Date, if the stock price of a share of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days with any 30-trading day period after the Closing Date, the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares shall automatically vest. The adjustment related to Sponsor Earn-Out Shares is not reflected, as the trigger of vesting is deemed not probable of occurring after the Closing of the Business Combination.
 
Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include the settlement of the Jefferies Fees including $2.6 million of Jefferies Deferred Fees and $1.3 million of Jefferies Transaction Fees. The Jefferies Fees will be paid in shares of New Adagio Common Stock, as elected by ARYA, no earlier than 60 days of Closing, at a price equal to the 10-day volume weighted average price as of the date prior to issuance pursuant to the agreement with Jefferies.

There were no existing contractual relationships between ListCo and Adagio during the periods for which the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financials statements are presented.
 
13

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination and related transactions. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that management believe represent current best estimates and are subject to changes, which may be material. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that the assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 3. Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management performed a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management did not identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of New Adagio. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.
 
Note 4. Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price
 
The total purchase consideration for the Business Combination has been allocated to the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information based on their estimated relative fair values. The allocation of the purchase consideration herein is preliminary. The final allocation of the purchase consideration for the Business Combination will be determined after the completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed but in no event later than one year following the completion of the Business Combination.
 
Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the preliminary amounts presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
 
Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as compared to the information shown herein, could also change the portion of the purchase consideration allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of New Adagio following the Business Combination due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration, depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities.
 
The table below represents the total estimated preliminary purchase consideration (in thousands, except share data):

The purchase price allocation for the proposed business combination is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed becomes available. Adagio has engaged third-party valuation companies to assist it in completing the valuation of certain assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. However, Adagio has not completed a full, detailed valuation analysis. The valuation is based on available financial statement information as of March 31, 2024 prepared by Adagio. Except for identifiable intangible assets, the convertible notes payable and the warrant liabilities, the preliminarily estimated fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed is not materially different from the carrying value. Fair valuation methodology for convertible notes, warrant liabilities and intangible assets is discussed below. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes a preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on assumptions that represent current best estimates, and are subject to changes, which may be material. Adagio will continue to refine its identification and valuation of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as further information becomes available.
 
The convertible notes are issued to Perceptive PIPE Investor in settling the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes, which is considered as an assumed liability on the purchase price allocation. The preliminary valuation of $17.0 million for the notes is based on a binomial lattice model considering the contractual terms with assumptions including (i) the New Adagio Common Stock price at $6.64 per share; (ii) a risk-free rate at 4.01%; (iii) zero dividend yield; (iv) volatility at 60% and (v) a debt discount rate at 25.8%.
 
The warrant liabilities pertain to Convert Warrants that are issued to Perceptive PIPE Investor in settling the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes, which is considered as an assumed liability on the purchase price allocation. The preliminary valuation of $3.0 million for the Convert Warrants is based on the Black-Scholes Merton Option model, and the assumptions including (i) the New Adagio Common Stock that the Convert Warrants are exercisable to, is at $6.64 per share; (ii) a risk-free rate at 3.96%; (iii) zero dividend yield; and (iv) volatility at 55%.
 
The estimate of the fair value of the convertible notes and the Convert Warrants is preliminary and based on the current available information.
 
Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information consist of developed technology and in-process research and development (IPR&D), which were valued using the cost approach. This approach considers an asset’s replacement cost (direct and indirect) adjusted, where applicable, for obsolescence to estimate the replacement cost of the asset’s current service potential (i.e., remaining useful life and cash-flow generating capacity). Obsolescence for an acquired intangible asset may include functional (technological) obsolescence and economic (external) obsolescence. The amortization related to the developed technology is reflected as unaudited pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements using the straight-line method of amortization.

Management has determined the estimated useful life of 5 years for developed technology based on consideration of the economic benefit of the asset.

The amount that will ultimately be allocated to these identified intangible assets and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation.
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets and captures the value attributable to future economic benefits arising from future technology development beyond the existing pipeline of identified IPR&D projects.
 
As the determination of the purchase price is subject to change upon finalization of the fair value analyses, the following table depicts the sensitivity of the purchase price and resulting goodwill to changes in net asset value. A 10% change in net asset value would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the balance of goodwill as follows:

Note 5. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
 
The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, are as follows:

It is preliminarily determined that the Base Warrants associated with the PIPE Financing are indexed to New Adagio Common Stock under ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging and are accounted for as equity, which is measured at fair value. The cash proceeds are allocated to the Base Warrants and to New Adagio Common Stock at their relative fair values, with the total adjustment to APIC for $5.4 million (refer to Note 5(X)).
 
The exercise price of Base Warrants is $10.00 per unit. The fair value of the Base Warrants is preliminarily estimated at $2.41 per unit, using Black-Scholes Merton Option model, based on the assumptions including (i) the value of the New Adagio Common Stock (for which the Base Warrants are exercisable) is $6.64 per share;  (ii) a risk-free rate at 3.93%; (iii) zero dividend yield; (iv) the common stock volatility at 84.0% and a volatility haircut of 10%.

(D)
Represents the receipt of additional principal amount of $0.4 million before closing under the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes.
 

(E)
Represents the settlement of ARYA’s accrued transaction expenses of $8.1 million, incurred by ARYA in connection with the Business Combination, such as advisory, banking, printing, legal, accounting fees and other professional fees that are a direct and incremental part of the transaction. Such transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
 

(F)
Represents the settlement of Adagio’s accrued transaction expenses of $7.9 million, incurred by Adagio in connection with the Business Combination, such as advisory, banking, printing, legal, accounting fees and other professional fees that are a direct and incremental part of the transaction.

(G)
Represents the receipt of cash proceeds of $27.9 million in PIPE Financing in exchange of 3,287,018 shares of New Adagio Common Stock, 3,345,069 Base Warrants and 670,000 Pre-Funded Warrants. The $27.9 million cash proceeds including the additional cash investment from Perceptive PIPE Investor of $15.9 million, and the commitments of $12.0 million from certain Other PIPE Investors (refer to Note 1).
 
It is preliminarily determined that the Base Warrants associated with the PIPE Financing are indexed to New Adagio Common Stock under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging and are accounted for as equity, which is measured at fair value on the date of issuance and not subsequently remeasured.

The exercise price of Base Warrants is $10.00 per unit. The fair value of the Base Warrants is preliminarily estimated at $2.41 per unit, using Black-Scholes Merton Option model, based on the assumptions including (i) the value of the New Adagio Common Stock (for which the Base Warrants are exercisable) is $6.64 per share; (ii) a risk-free rate at 3.93%; (iii) zero dividend yield; (iv) the common stock volatility at 84.0% and a volatility haircut of 10%.

New Adagio may be required to cash settle the Pre-Funded Warrants when it fails to timely deliver shares to the holder who exercises the Pre-Funded Warrants or upon the occurrence of a fundamental transaction. It is determined that the Pre-Funded Warrants associated with the PIPE Financing do not meet the equity classification requirements under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging as the Pre-Funded Warrants may require cash settlement outside of New Adagio’s control upon a failure of timely delivery of shares or a fundamental transaction, and therefore the Pre-Funded Warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities, and measured at fair value both initially and subsequently with changes in fair value recognized through earnings.
 
The exercise price of Pre-Funded Warrants is $0.01 per unit. The fair value of the Pre-Funded Warrants is preliminarily estimated at $6.63 per unit, based on the value of the New Adagio Common Stock (for which the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable) is $6.64 per share.

The cash proceeds are first allocated to Pre-Funded Warrants at their fair value of $4.4 million, and the remaining cash proceeds are allocated to the Base Warrants and New Adagio Common Stock at their relative fair values, with the total adjustment to APIC for $23.4 million (refer to Note 5(X)).

The principal of $3.0 million, $2.5 million and $1 million was received by Adagio in May 2024, June 2024 and July 2024 respectively, prior to the Closing. At the Closing, the May 2024 Notes, the June 2024 Notes and the July 2024 Notes are settled with 931,096 shares of New Adagio Common Stock at $6.64 per share and 780,000 Base Warrants at $2.41 per unit as a part of the purchase consideration (refer to Note 4).

17

It is preliminarily determined that the Base Warrants associated with the PIPE Financing are indexed to New Adagio Common Stock under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging and are accounted for as equity, which is measured at fair value.

The exercise price of Base Warrants is $10.00 per unit. The fair value of the Base Warrants is preliminarily estimated at $2.41 per unit, using Black-Scholes Merton Option model, based on the assumptions including (i) the value of the New Adagio Common Stock (for which the Base Warrants are exercisable) is $6.64 per share; (ii) a risk-free rate at 3.93%; (iii) zero dividend yield; (iv) the common stock volatility at 84.0% and a volatility haircut of 10%.

The fair value of the New Adagio Convertible Notes and the 1,500,000 Convert Warrants is $17.0 million and $3.0 million respectively.
 
As set forth in the agreement of the New Adagio Convertible Notes, the Convert Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis or on a gross basis for one share of New Adagio Common Stock at $24.00 per share, subject to adjustments as set forth in the agreement. New Adagio may be required to cash settle the Convert Warrants when it fails to timely deliver shares to the holder who exercises the Convert Warrants or upon the occurrence of a fundamental transaction. It is determined that the Convert Warrants associated with the New Adagio Convertible Notes do not meet the equity classification requirements under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging as the Covert Warrants may require cash settlement outside of New Adagio’s control upon a failure of timely delivery of shares or a fundamental transaction, and therefore the Convert Warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities, and measured at fair value both initially and subsequently with changes in fair value recognized through earnings.

Further, as permitted under ASC 825 - Financial Instruments, it is preliminary determined to elect the fair value option to account for the New Adagio Convertible Notes.

The valuation of the New Adagio Convertible Notes is based on a binomial lattice model considering the contractual terms with assumptions including (i) the New Adagio Common Stock price at $6.64 per share; (ii) a risk-free rate at 4.01%; (iii) zero dividend yield; (iv) volatility at 60% and (v) a discount rate at 25.8%.

The estimate of the fair value of the New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants is preliminary and based on the current available information. Adagio has engaged third party specialists to assist it in completing the calculation of value of the New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants. As this full valuation analysis is undergoing and not yet completed, the estimated fair values will be updated based upon further available information, as well as market conditions at the time of the Closing.


(K)
Represents an adjustment to intangible assets, net to reflect the acquired identifiable intangible assets consisting of developed technology and IPR&D at the estimated fair value of $26.2 million, which as noted above is and subject to change once the proposed business combination is completed. The fair value of the developed technology and IPR&D is estimated based on cost approach. It is estimated a useful life of 5 years for developed technology based on consideration of the economic benefit of the asset. See Note 4 for additional details.

(L)
Represents an adjustment to reflect estimated goodwill of $36.5 million recognized from the proposed business combination in accordance with ASC 805-30-30 based on the preliminary purchase price allocation in Note 4.

(M)
Reflects the direct and incremental transaction costs incurred prior to or concurrent with the Business Combination of $8.5 million. Transaction costs include legal, accounting, financial advisory and other professional fees related to the Business Combination.

The 3,441,511 shares of Adagio Common Stock at $6.64 per share and the 2,760,000 Base Warrants at $2.41 per unit issued to settle the convertible promissory notes is considered as a part of the purchase consideration (refer to Note 4).
 
It is preliminarily determined that the Base Warrants associated with the PIPE Financing are indexed to New Adagio Common Stock under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging and are accounted for as equity, which is measured at fair value.
 
The exercise price of Base Warrants is $10.00 per unit. The fair value of the Base Warrants is preliminarily estimated at $2.41 per unit, using Black-Scholes Merton Option model, based on the assumptions including (i) the value of the New Adagio Common Stock (for which the Base Warrants are exercisable) is $6.64 per share; (ii) a risk-free rate at 3.93%; (iii) zero dividend yield; (iv) the common stock volatility at 84.0% and a volatility haircut of 10%.

Reflects the estimated gross deferred tax asset of $34.9 million netting with valuation allowance of $29.4 million, and then with gross deferred tax liability of $8.3 million resulting in net deferred tax liability position of $2.8 million. The basis difference primarily results Adagio’s net operating losses and from the Business Combination where New Adagio receives intangible assets for financial accounting purposes. Tax-related adjustments are based upon an estimated state tax rate of 8.8% and an estimated federal tax rate of 21.0%. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different than what is presented in the pro forma financial information depending on post-acquisition activities, the geographical mix of taxable income, and changes in tax laws and regulations.
 

(S)
Represents the conversion of 123,520 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption, with a par value of $0.0001, into 123,520 shares of the New Adagio Common Stock, resulting in an increase in New Adagio Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 and an increase of additional paid-in capital.

Note 6. Net Loss per Share

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2023. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entirety of the periods presented. When assuming the maximum redemption scenario described above, this calculation is adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entirety of the periods presented.

The following has been prepared to present the net loss per share with respect to the redemptions of Class A Common Stock by ARYA Stockholders at the time of the Business Combination for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Reference is made to the disclosure contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the sections titled “Adagio’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 267 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, “ARYA’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 227 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and “ListCo’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 285 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operation of Adagio as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is set forth below.

The following discussion and analysis provides information that Adagio’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of its results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with Adagio’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (unaudited), and its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (audited), and together with the related notes thereto, and the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Informationin the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, that are included elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans, and expectations that involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 36 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or in other parts of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a developmental stage medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of ablation technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (“AF”), atrial flutter (“AFL”), and ventricular tachycardia (“VT”). Our unique portfolio is based on Ultra-Low Temperature Cryoablation (“ULTC”) and Pulsed-Field Cryoablation (“PFCA”). Our technology is based on the hypothesis that the ability to consistently create durable, contiguous, transmural lesions is a foundation for improving the effectiveness and outcomes of cardiac ablations in both atria and ventricles.


Adagio’s product portfolio consists of three product families: iCLAS™ atrial ULTC catheter and accessories, vCLAS™ ventricular ULTC catheter, and Cryopulse™ atrial PFCA catheter and accessories. All of these catheters share the same ULTC cryoablation console. A standalone Pulsed-Field Ablation (“PFA”) console connected to a cryoablation console for PFCA treatment synchronization is used in conjunction with Cryopulse catheter, subject to future integration for maximum operational flexibility and minimum footprint. We received CE Marking in Europe for our iCLAS™ Cryoablation System in May 2020 and have commercially launched in the EU.

We are continually working towards reaching the next milestone in the development process for our portfolio of technologies. We received CE Marking in Europe for our VT Cryoablation System in March 2024 and have commercially launched in the EU. Key milestones include data readouts, clinical trials, and regulatory and commercialization developments in both the U.S. and European markets. The data readouts for each device are key valuation-driving milestones because investors use this data to understand the efficacy of the procedures. It is expected that favorable readouts will drive additional investment and financing for us at market terms.

We have not launched commercially in the U.S. but are working towards obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals to do so. We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception in 2011. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $143.2 million and $135.2 million, respectively. Our net losses were $8.0 million and $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash of $4.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Our accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. The recurring losses, working capital deficiency, the need for capital to fund our operations, including clinical trial and regulatory approval expenses, the amount of cash reserve and the dependency of closing the Business Combination are factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period from the date the financial statements included herein were made available. See Note 1-Organization and Description of Business in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for the additional information on our assessment.

Our need for additional capital will depend in part on the scope and costs of our development activities. To date, we have not generated any significant revenue from the sale of commercialized products. Our ability to generate product revenue will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our products in the United States and Europe. Until such time, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity or debt, borrowings under credit facilities, or through potential collaborations, other strategic transactions or government and other grants. Adequate capital may not be available to us when needed or on acceptable terms. If we are unable to raise capital, we could be forced to delay, reduce, suspend or cease our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts, which would have a negative impact on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. See the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Risk Factors” for additional information.

Business Combination

The disclosure set forth in the “Introductory Note” above with respect to the completion of the Business Combination, the PIPE Financing and the Convertible Security Financing is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

In conjunction with the consummation of the Business Combination with ARYA, we raised financing valued at approximately $84.2 million, which consisted of funds held in ARYA’s trust account, a concurrent equity and warrant private placement (including $29.5 million of bridge financing used by us prior to closing and funds from ARYA’s trust account not redeemed), and a concurrent convertible security financing (including $7 million of bridge financing used by us prior to closing), offset by approximately $10.0 million of transaction costs relating to the closing of the Business Combination.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The markets we operate in could see continued impacts from COVID-19 for the foreseeable future, and the emergence of new variants of COVID-19 creates significant uncertainty as to how long COVID-19 will continue to impact our business. The magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our productivity, results of operations and financial position and its disruption to our business and our clinical programs and timelines will depend, in part, on the length and severity of outbreaks, restrictions and other measures designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and on our ability to conduct business in the ordinary course.


Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We compete primarily on the basis that our products are designed to enable more physicians to treat more patients more efficiently and effectively. Our continued success depends on our ability to:


continue to develop innovative, proprietary products that address significant clinical needs in a manner that is safe and effective for patients and easy-to-use for physicians;


obtain and maintain regulatory clearances or approvals;


demonstrate safety and effectiveness in our sponsored and third-party clinical trials;


expand its sales force across key markets to increase physician awareness;


obtain and maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement for procedures using its products;


attract and retain skilled research, development, sales and clinical personnel;


cost-effectively manufacture, market and sell its products; and


obtain, maintain, enforce and defend our intellectual property rights and operate its business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others.

Innovation

Our business strategy relies significantly on innovation to develop and introduce new products and to differentiate our products from our competitors. We expect our research and development expenditures to increase as we make additional investments to support our growth strategies. We plan to increase our research and development expenditures with internal initiatives, as well as potentially licensing or acquiring technology from third parties. We also expect expenditures associated with our manufacturing organization to grow over time as production volume increases and we bring new products to market. Our internal and external investments will be focused on initiatives that we believe will offer the greatest opportunity for growth and profitability. With a significant investment in research and development, a strong focus on innovation and a well-managed innovation process, we believe we can continue to innovate and grow.

Regulatory

Our commercial success will depend upon a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the receipt of regulatory clearances, approvals, or authorizations for existing or new product offerings by us, or product enhancements. We must complete additional clinical testing before we can seek regulatory approval in the United States and begin commercialization of our products. After our products are cleared, approved, or authorized, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. As such, our ability to navigate, obtain and maintain the required regulatory clearances, approvals, or authorizations, as well as comply with other regulatory requirements, for our products will in part drive our results of operations and impact our business.

Investments in Our Growth

In order to generate future growth, we plan to continue to expand and leverage our sales and marketing infrastructure to increase our customer base and grow our business. Identifying and recruiting qualified sales and marketing personnel and training them on our products, applicable federal and state laws and regulations, and on our internal policies and procedures requires significant time, expense and attention. It often takes several months or more before a sales representative is fully trained and productive. Our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our products will also depend to a significant extent on our ability to expand our marketing efforts as our plans to dedicate significant resources to its marketing programs.

Competition

Our industry is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our most significant competitors are large, well-capitalized companies. We must continue to successfully compete considering our competitors’ existing and future products and related pricing and their resources to successfully market to the physicians who could use our products. Publications of clinical results by us, our competitors and other third parties can also have a significant influence on whether, and the degree to which, we are able to gain market share and increase utilization of our products.


Reimbursement and Insurance Coverage

In both U.S. and non-U.S. markets, our ability to successfully commercialize and achieve market acceptance of our products depends, in significant part, on the availability of adequate financial coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors, including governmental payors (such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs in the United States), managed care organizations and private health insurers. Third-party payors decide which treatments they will cover and establish reimbursement rates for those treatments. Our products are purchased by hospitals and other providers who will then seek reimbursement from third-party payors for the procedures performed using our products. Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by country and by region within some countries, and reimbursement approvals must be obtained on a country-by-country basis. In certain international markets, a product must be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that country. Furthermore, many international markets have government-managed healthcare systems that control reimbursement for new devices and procedures. In most markets there are private insurance systems as well as government-managed systems.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Revenues

We generate product revenue primarily from the sale of the catheters, stylets and warming balloons (“Consumables”) used with our consoles. We sell our products directly to hospitals and medical centers. To a lesser extent, we also generate lease revenue from the implied rental of consoles loaned to customers at no charge. We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Please refer to Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional details on our revenue recognition policy. Our revenue is subject to fluctuation due to the foreign currency in which our products are sold.

Costs and Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, shipping and receiving costs and other less significant indirect costs related to the production of our products. Cost of revenue also includes the depreciation expense of consoles loaned to the customers.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are expensed when incurred and are related to the development of our product candidates which includes pre-clinical, clinical, quality assurance, and research and development operational activities. These costs consist of:
 

salaries, benefits, and other employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense for personnel engaged in research and development functions;


activities associated with clinical trials performed by third parties;


professional fees;


equipment, materials, and costs related to product manufacturing; and


other operational costs including rent and facilities costs, and depreciation.

Adagio does not track research and development expenses by project or product, as Adagio is at an earlier stage in its pre-clinical and clinical development. Management believes that the breakdown of research and development expenses by project or product would be arbitrary and would not provide a meaningful assessment.

Management expects the research and development expenses to increase, as Adagio will incur incremental expenses associated with the product candidates that are currently under development and in pre-clinical and clinical trials. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel in executive, finance and other administrative functions, allocated rent and facilities costs, legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, professional fees for accounting and consulting services, marketing costs and insurance costs, and transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. We expense all selling, general and administrative costs as incurred.

Convertible notes fair value adjustment

We recorded the October 2022 Convertible Notes (as defined below), the April 2023 Notes, the November 2023 Notes, and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note at fair value at issuance and subsequently remeasure them to fair value at each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognized as convertible notes fair value adjustment in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Warrant liabilities fair value adjustment

We accounted for certain common stock warrants outstanding as warrant liabilities at fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period and any change in fair value is recognized warrant liabilities fair value adjustment in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Interest expense

Interest expense is primarily incurred from our outstanding debt obligations, including those under the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes, the November 2023 Notes, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note, and the SVB Term Loan.

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

Other (expense) income, net

Other (expense) income, net primarily consists of foreign currency unrealized and realized gain / loss, and other income related to research and development (“R&D”) tax credit.

Revenue

Our revenue was $26.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $60.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease of $34.0 thousand, or 57%, is due to the decrease of consumable sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, revenue was generated only in European markets.

Costs of revenue and operating expenses

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue increased to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $0.2 million, or 70%, primarily resulted from the increase in the depreciation of consoles.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $1.3 million decrease, or 28%, was primarily related to a $0.3 million decrease of manufacturing absorption costs, $0.2 million decrease in product manufacturing, $0.2 million decrease in animal testing cost, $0.1 million decrease in travel costs related to clinical studies, $0.2 million decrease in payroll, and $0.1 million decrease in costs related to prototypes and other research and development costs. The decrease in research and development expenses results from Adagio receiving CE Marking on VT Cryoablation in March 2024.

Our clinical trial expenses relate to trials for our iCLAS atrial ULTC catheter and system (CRYOCURE-2), iCLAS atrial ULTC catheter and system (iCLAS for PsAF), vCLAS ventricular ULTC catheter (CRYOCURE-VT), vCLAS ventricular ULTC catheter (FULCRUM-VT), and PFCA catheter. Clinical trial costs include the expenses spent on clinical trials studies and other related expenses. Operational costs includes the expenses spent on product manufacturing. Quality assurance includes regulatory fees and third-party service fees. Pre-clinical trial costs and other research and development costs includes the expenses resulting from professional fees, prototypes, and animal testing.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $4.8 million from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $3.2 million, or 202%, is primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million in professional fees which include legal and accounting fees related to the transaction costs associated with the Business Combination and an increase in payroll and personnel expense of $0.7 million.

Convertible notes fair value adjustment

The increase in the convertible notes fair value adjustment of $4.0 million is due to the fair value remeasurement of the convertible notes payables as of March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023.

Warrant liabilities fair value adjustment

The decrease in the warrant liabilities fair value adjustment of $47.0 thousand is due to the fair value remeasurement of the warrant liabilities as of March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased to $0.8 million from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $0.5 million was interest incurred from the convertible promissory notes issued in October 2022, April 2023, November 2023, and February 2024, and the SVB term loan issued in February 2023.

Interest income

Interest income remained steady at $1.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Other (expense) income, net

Other expense was $43.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to other income of $4.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in other income of $47.0 thousand was primarily attributable to the net increase in foreign exchange currency loss by $46.0 thousand.

Revenue

Our revenue was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $0.1 million, or 59% is due to the increase of consumable sales. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, revenue was generated only in European markets.

Costs of revenue and operating expenses

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue increased to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, from $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $0.4 million, or 49%, primarily resulted from the increase of obsolescence and scrap.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased to $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The $2.5 million decrease, or 14%, was primarily related to a $3.0 million decrease of raw materials used in operational costs as a part of research and development activities, $1.3 million decrease in product manufacturing, offset by a $1.0 million increase in clinical trial expenses, $0.6 million increase in payroll, and a $0.2 million increase in animal testing expense. The decrease in product manufacturing, and the increases in pre-clinical trial expense and clinical trial expense are due to that Adagio focused more on pre-clinical and clinical studies in order to obtain regulatory approval in both the European and United States markets.

Our clinical trial expenses relate to trials for our iCLAS atrial ULTC catheter and system (CRYOCURE-2), iCLAS atrial ULTC catheter and system (iCLAS for PsAF), vCLAS ventricular ULTC catheter (CRYOCURE-VT), vCLAS ventricular ULTC catheter (FULCRUM-VT), and PFCA catheter. Clinical trial costs includes the expenses spent on clinical trials studies and other related expenses. Quality assurance includes regulatory fees and third-party service fees. Research and development operational costs includes the expenses spent on product manufacturing. Pre-clinical trial costs and other research and development costs includes the expenses resulting from professional fees, prototypes, and animal testing.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $11.5 million from $5.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $6.2 million, or 115%, is primarily due to an increase of $4.7 million in professional fees which include legal and accounting fees related to the transaction costs associated with the Business Combination, an increase in payroll and personnel expense of $1.0 million, and an increase in building and maintenance costs of $0.5 million.

Convertible notes fair value adjustment

Convertible notes fair value adjustment changed to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from nil million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The $8.5 million was related to the increase of fair value by $4.0 million, $0.4 million and $4.1 million on the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes and the November 2023 Notes, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we did not recognize any change in fair value related to the October 2022 Convertible Notes as there were not significant changes to the business, financing scenarios, or market conditions since the date of issuance.


Warrant liabilities fair value adjustment

Warrant liabilities fair value adjustment changed to $42.0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 from nil million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The $42.0 thousand was related to the increase of fair value on the common stock warrant liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased to $1.7 million from $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $1.5 million was interest incurred from the convertible promissory notes issued in October 2022, April 2023, and November 2023, and the SVB Term Loan issued in February 2023.

Interest income

Interest income decreased to $3.0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $39.0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in interest income of $36.0 thousand or 92% was driven by the decrease of cash balances in an asset management account.

Other expense was $20.0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to other income of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease in other income of $0.3 million was primarily attributable to an increase in other expense of $0.5 million, related to the R&D tax credit received in 2022 for which Adagio no longer qualifies in 2023, offset by a favorable decrease of $0.2 million in foreign exchange currency unrealized loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, convertible promissory notes and SVB Term Loan. Since inception we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows and anticipate continuing to do so for at least the next several years.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash of $4.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net losses were $8.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities was $6.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

We do not believe our current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements. We believe that this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We intend to mitigate the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern entity by (i) pursuing a public offering of its common stock or in a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) to obtain additional capital and align our long-term operating strategy (refer to Note 1-Organization and Description of Business in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional details), (ii) negotiate other cash equity or debt financing in the short-term, and (iii) continue to pursue the necessary regulatory approvals to launch commercially in the U.S. market. However, there can be no assurances that the current plans will generate any liquidity to us or be available on terms acceptable to us, or if at all.

If we are unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, its business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. We may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product discovery and development activities or future commercialization efforts. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.


Future Funding Requirements

In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities or otherwise. Until such time, if ever, that we can generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our operations through equity or debt financings, which may not be available to us on the timing needed or on terms that we deem to be favorable. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. We may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product discovery and development activities or future commercialization efforts.

Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including:
 

our revenue growth;


our research and development efforts;


our sales and marketing activities;


our ability to raise additional funds to finance our operations;


the outcome, costs and timing of any clinical trial results for our current or future products;


the emergence and effect of competing or complementary products;


the availability and amount of reimbursement for procedures using our products;


our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;


our ability to retain our current employees and the need and ability to hire additional management and sales, scientific and medical personnel;


the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we have or may establish;


debt service requirements;


the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies;

Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, investment in our commercial organization and related expenses, clinical research and development services, and related supplies, legal and other regulatory expenses, general administrative costs and working capital.

See the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Risk Factors” for additional risks associated with our substantial capital requirements.

Debt Obligations

October 2022 Convertible Notes

In October 2022, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with investors for the issuance and sale of convertible promissory notes (the “October 2022 Convertible Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $9.5 million at an interest rate of eight percent (8.0%) per year. The October 2022 Convertible Notes had an original maturity date of October 27, 2023, which was subsequently extended to the latest of (i) January 5, 2024, (ii) termination of agreements between Adagio and ARYA in connection with a non-binding summary of certain proposed terms and conditions of the Business Combination, or (iii) the termination or lapse of the exclusivity period as defined in the non-binding term sheet as mentioned above.


The October 2022 Convertible Notes were also amended to be subordinate to the April 2023 Notes (as described below). (refer to Note 7-Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional details).

In November 2023 and February 2024, the October 2022 Convertible Notes were further amended to also subordinate the November 2023 Notes and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, all principal and accrued interest in respect of the October 2022 Convertible Notes were converted into a number of shares of Adagio Common Stock that, when multiplied by the exchange ratio applicable to the Adagio Common Stock in the Business Combination, entitled the holder of this note to receive a number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock equal to the then outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest under this note, divided by 75% of the effective price of each share of common stock sold in the PIPE Financing.

April 2023 Notes

In April 2023, we issued a $5.0 million convertible promissory note that would mature on the latest of (i) January 5, 2024, (ii) termination of agreements between Adagio and ARYA in connection with the Business Combination, or (iii) the termination or lapse of the exclusivity period as defined in the non-binding term sheet as mentioned above, and accrued simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum. Additionally, we obtained the right to issue up to $10.0 million in additional convertible promissory notes available beginning one month after April 4, 2023 through the occurrence of an ARYA stockholder vote with regard to the Business Combination. Pursuant to this right, we issued $2.0 million convertible promissory notes in June 2023, July 2023, August 2023, September 2023 and October 2023.

In November 2023, the April 2023 Notes were amended to align certain terms to the November 2023 Notes (refer to Note 7-Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional details).

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the April 2023 Notes automatically converted into shares of New Adagio Common Stock that were issued in the PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.

November 2023 Notes

On November 28, 2023, Adagio issued to Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Perceptive PIPE Investor”), a $2.0 million convertible promissory note that would mature on the latest of (i) January 5, 2024, (ii) termination of agreements between Adagio and ARYA in connection with a non-binding summary of the Business Combination, or (iii) the termination or lapse of the exclusivity period as defined in the non-binding term sheet as mentioned above (the “November 2023 Notes”). The November 2023 Notes accrued simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum. Additionally, Adagio obtained the right to issue up to $6.0 million of Delayed Draw Commitment available beginning one month after November 28, 2023 through the occurrence of an ARYA stockholder vote with regard to the Business Combination.

In December 2023, the November 2023 Notes were amended to permit the issuance of a Delayed Draw Commitment in the original amount of $6.0 million. On December 13, 2023 and December 28, 2023, Adagio drew the principal amount of $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Adagio drew the remaining principal amount of $3.0 million. The combined $6.0 million convertible promissory notes were issued pursuant to the clause and terms in the November 2023 Notes agreement (refer to Note 7-Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional details).

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the November 2023 Notes automatically converted into shares of New Adagio Common Stock that were issued in the PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.


2024 Bridge Financing Note

In connection with the Business Combination, certain investors executed a securities purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, with ListCo (the “Convertible Security Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which ListCo would issue on the Closing Date to certain investors (“Convert Investors”) $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of 13% senior secured convertible notes (the “New Adagio Convertible Notes”), which would be convertible into shares of New Adagio Common Stock, and warrants (the “Convert Warrants”), each of which would be exercisable on a cashless basis or for one share of New Adagio Common Stock at $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Base Convert Financing”). The New Adagio Convertible Notes would have a maturity of three years and nine months after the Closing and interest would be payable in cash or compound as additional principal outstanding.

The Perceptive PIPE Investor also purchased a $7.0 million convertible promissory note of Adagio (the “2024 Bridge Financing Note”) pursuant to a note purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, by and among the Perceptive PIPE Investor, Adagio and ListCo (the “2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement”).

As of the issuance date, Adagio received the principal amount of $7.0 million. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note converted into New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants on the same terms as the other Convert Investors executing the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement (the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor into New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants and the purchase of New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants by the other Convert Investors in the Base Convert Financing, the “Convertible Security Financing”). Subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving any new financing or commitment for financing, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the closing date, the Perceptive PIPE Investor had the right to request that on the closing date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note be repaid with the funds raised in connection with such Additional Financing instead of such 2024 Bridge Financing Note converting into New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants. The New Adagio Convertible Notes, the Convert Warrants or any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued in connection with the Convertible Security Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act and were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. New Adagio has granted the Convert Investors certain registration rights in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. The Convertible Security Financing was contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing was conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date.

May 2024 Notes

On May 21, 2024, Adagio issued a $3.0 million convertible promissory note (“May 2024 Notes”) to Perceptive PIPE Investor that matures upon the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms. It accrues simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum.

Effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, the May 2024 Notes automatically converted into shares of New Adagio Common Stock that were issued in the PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.

June 2024 Notes


On June 25, 2024, Adagio issued a $2.5 million convertible promissory note (“June 2024 Notes”) to Perceptive PIPE Investor that matures upon the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms. It accrues simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum.

Effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, the June 2024 Notes automatically converted into shares of New Adagio Common Stock that were issued in the PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.

July 2024 Note

On July 24, 2024, Adagio issued a $1.0 million convertible promissory note (“July 2024 Notes”) to Perceptive PIPE Investor that would mature upon the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms. It accrued simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum.

Effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, the July 2024 Notes automatically converted into shares of New Adagio Common Stock that were issued in the PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.

SVB Term Loan

In February 2023, we entered into an agreement with Silicon Valley Bank to borrow an initial term loan advance of $3.0 million and a right to borrow a subsequent term loan advance of $2.0 million. The loans mature on January 1, 2025. In conjunction with the SVB Term Loan, we issued warrants to acquire 32,720 common stock shares in February 2023, and distributed additional warrants to acquire 16,360 common stock shares as of June 30, 2023. (Refer to Note 8-Warrants in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional details). The SVB Term Loan was paid off by Adagio at the Closing.

Comparison of Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (unaudited)

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $6.7 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $8.0 million as adjusted for non-cash items of $(1.0) million, and a net change in our net operating assets and liabilities of $2.3 million. Non-cash items primarily consisted of $0.3 million in depreciation and amortization, $0.1 million in stock-based compensation, $0.1 million related to the provision of inventory impairment, and offset by a gain of $1.7 million resulted from the change in fair value of convertible notes payable. Changes in our net operating assets and liabilities year-over-year, was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in accounts payable, a $0.7 million increase in accrued liabilities, a $0.2 million increase in accrued transaction costs, and a $0.7 million increase in other accrued liabilities, which were primarily driven by the increase in transaction costs related to the Business Combination.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $6.4 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $9.3 million as adjusted for non-cash items of $2.7 million, and a net change in our net operating assets and liabilities of $0.2 million. Non-cash items primarily consisted of a loss of $2.4 million related to the change in fair value of convertible notes payables, $0.1 million in depreciation and amortization, and a $0.1 million in stock-based compensation. Changes in our net operating assets and liabilities year-over-year, was primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in accrued transaction costs, and a $0.2 million increase in other accrued liabilities, offset by a $0.2 million decrease in accrued liabilities. The changes were primarily driven by the increase in payroll expenses, and the increase in transaction costs related to the Business Combination.


Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.2 million as compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $0.1 million is primarily due to increased purchase of property and equipment in 2024.

Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $9.6 million as compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $6.6 million is primarily due to receiving $7.0 million from the issuance of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note, and $3.0 million from the additional draw of the November 2023 Notes, during the three months ended March 31, 2024; whereas during the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was $3.0 million cash proceeds received from the issuance of the SVB Term Loan. Additionally, net cash provided is further offset by $0.4 million repayment of the SVB Term Loan during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Comparison of Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (audited)

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $0.3 million as compared to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of $0.2 million is primarily due to decreased activities in purchasing property and equipment in 2023.

Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $21.9 million as compared to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $12.4 million is due to receiving $20.0 million and $3.0 million in proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable and proceeds from issuance of SVB Term Loan, respectively, net by a $1.2 million repayment of non-convertible term loan during the year ended December 31, 2023; whereas during the year ended December 31, 2022, the proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable is $9.5 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to the financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. We base our estimates on historical experience, current business factors and various other assumptions that we believe are necessary to consider forming a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes in our business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements. These are the policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards issued to employees and non-employees based on the estimated grant-date fair value, which is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of fair value for stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model requires management to make certain assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends in addition to our common stock valuation. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment.

All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in cost of products sold, research and development expense or selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based upon the respective employee’s or non-employee’s roles.

Common Stock Valuations

Due to the absence of a public trading market, we determined the fair value of our common stock by considering numerous objective and subjective factors. The factors considered include, but are not limited to:


(i)
the results of contemporaneous independent third-party valuations of our common stock;


(ii)
the prices, rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock relative to those of our common stock;


(iii)
the lack of marketability of our common stock;


(iv)
actual operating and financial results;


(v)
current business conditions and projects; and


(vi)
the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event


As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our common stock was determined with probability weighted expected return method (“PWERM”), which assessed the probability weighted depending on different scenarios. As of March 31, 2024, the valuation was based on the scenario (i) bankruptcy/suboptimal sale scenario reflecting a zero return to common shareholders, with 10% probability, (ii) an “as converted” merger with an 80% probability, and (iii) a delayed but successful liquidity event per the option pricing method, with 10% probability. As of December 31, 2023, the valuation was based on the scenario (i) the bankruptcy/suboptimal sale scenario reflecting a zero return to common shareholders, with 20% probability (ii) a consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC, with 40% probability, and (iii) a delayed but successful liquidity event per the option pricing method, with 40% probability.

As of March 31, 2024, in determining the value under the “as converted” merger, we utilized (i) a diluted equity value of $37.0 million and (ii) all dilutive instruments are expected to convert or be exercised resulting in 6,366,837 total common shares outstanding.

As of December 31, 2023, in determining the value under the consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC scenario, we utilized the preliminary terms of the letter of intent with such SPAC that (i) the transaction based on diluted equity value of $38.8 million and (ii) all dilutive instruments are expected to convert or be exercised resulting in 6,369,633 total common shares outstanding.

The valuation under the scenario of a delayed but successful liquidity event per the option pricing method was determined by the fair value per share at a marketable basis applied by a discount for lack marketability (“DLOM”). The fair value per share at a marketable basis was determined using the interval option value allocation approach. The DLOM was determined based on Finnerty put option model, marketability factors and restricted stock studies.

The significant unobservable inputs into the valuation model include:


the timing of potential events (for example, a consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC) and their probability of occurring;


the selection of guideline public company multiples; and


a discount for the lack of marketability of the common stock.

An increase or decrease in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material change. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value.

Convertible Notes Valuation

As permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), Adagio elected the fair value option to account for the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes, the November 2023 Notes and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note in order to measure those liabilities at amounts that more accurately reflect the current economic environment in which Adagio operates.

Adagio recorded the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes, the November 2023 Notes and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note at fair value at issuance and subsequently remeasures them to fair value at each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognized as convertible notes fair value adjustment in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the issuance of the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes, the November 2023 Notes and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note were expensed as incurred (i.e., not recognized as deferred costs). Refer to Note 3-Fair Value Measurements in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional detail.

As of March 31, 2024, Adagio calculated the value of the convertible notes based on the equity value from 409(a) valuations, considering the expected payoff of the convertible notes upon different types of events.

Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the October 2022 Convertible Notes would be converted to common stock through the result of a mandatory prepayment, PIPE Financing, or no PIPE Financing and no Qualified Financing (refer to Note 7-Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional detail), weighted with a probability of 10%, 80% and 10%, respectively, as of March 31, 2024.

Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the April 2023 Notes and November 2023 Notes would be converted to common stock through the result of a liquidation event, PIPE Financing, or no PIPE Financing and no Qualified Financing, weighted with a probability of 10%, 80% and 10%, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. Adagio also implied a credit spread by calibrating the value of the April 2023 Notes at issuance to the par value and then adjusted the calibrated credit spread for seniority difference and the market related movements as appropriate.


Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the 2024 Bridge Financing Note would be converted to common stock as a result of a liquidation event, consummation of a transaction, or no transaction and no Qualified Financing, weighted with a probability of 10%, 80% and 10% as of March 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2023, Adagio calculated the value of the convertible notes based on the equity value from 409(a) valuations, considering the expected payoff of the convertible notes upon different types of events.

Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the October 2022 Convertible Notes would be converted to common stock through the result of mandatory prepayment, Private Investment in PIPE Financing, or no PIPE Financing and no Qualified Financing, weighted with a probability of 20%, 40% and 40%, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the April 2023 Notes and the November 2023 Notes would be converted to common stock as a result of a liquidation event, PIPE Financing, or no PIPE Financing & no Qualified Financing, weighted with a probability of 20%, 40% and 40% as of December 31, 2023. Adagio also implied a credit spread by calibrating the value of the April 2023 Notes at issuance to the par value and then adjusted the calibrated credit spread for seniority difference and the market related movements as appropriate.

Additional assumptions used to estimate the fair value include: (i) the expected timing of the conversion, (ii) the amount subject to equity conversion, the sum of the notes’ principal and unpaid accrued interest, (iii) expected volatility, (iv) risk-free interest rate, and (v) the discount rate, based on the observed option-adjusted spread (OAS) data of traded bonds rated CCC-.

Warrants

Adagio accounts for certain common stock warrants outstanding as warrant liabilities at fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the common stock value from 409(a) valuation. The assumption used to estimate the fair value include: (i) expected volatility, (ii) risk-free interest rate, (iii) expected dividend yield, and (iv) expected term.

The liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period and any change in fair value is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 8-Warrants in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional information related to the warrants.

Term Loan

Adagio accounts for the SVB Term Loan at residual value on the date of issuance. The expected life of the SVB Term Loan is the contractual term ending on the maturity date. Adagio classifies the term loan as current liabilities within twelve months of the maturity date or when otherwise due. Interest expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the contractual term of the loan. See Note 7-Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional information related to the SVB Term Loan.

Convertible Preferred Stock

Adagio records convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. Upon the occurrence of certain events that are outside our control, including a deemed liquidation event, holders of the convertible preferred stock can cause redemption for cash. As the preferred stock is considered to be contingently redeemable, the preferred stock has been classified outside of permanent equity. The preferred stock will be accreted to its redemption value if the deemed liquidation events are considered probable of occurring.

Strategic Realignment of Resources and Corporate Restructuring

On December 1, 2023, Adagio’s management approved a strategic realignment of resources and corporate restructuring (the “RIF”) designed to reallocate capital, conformant to its business focus for the next two years. As part of the RIF, Adagio initiated a reduction in its current workforce of 20 employees, representing approximately 19% of Adagio’s employees, which was completed on December 15, 2023. In compliance with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, Adagio has provided termination notices to affected employees and government authorities if required.


Adagio made no payment for severance or related benefit costs. Adagio made no payment of retention bonuses.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with EGC status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.

In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an EGC, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

We will remain an EGC under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (ii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three-years.

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have operations primarily within the United States and we are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our revenue generated in Europe, as well as costs and expenses denominated in Euro, expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. We are exposed to foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses, along with certain intercompany transactions, denominated in Euro. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may negatively affect our future revenue and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars. We do not believe that foreign currency exchange risk has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for a description of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our financial statements.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of New Adagio Common Stock immediately following consummation of the Transactions by:



each person known by New Adagio to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of shares of New Adagio issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Transactions;


each of New Adagio’s executive officers and directors;


all executive officers and directors of New Adagio as a group after consummation of the Transactions.

The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over such security. A shareholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (a) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) the conversion of a security, (c) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (d) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, ordinary shares subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. Based on the information provided to New Adagio, New Adagio believes that each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as otherwise indicated in the table or footnotes below. Unless otherwise noted, the business address of each of the directors and executive officers of New Adagio is 26051 Merit Circle, Suite 102, Laguna Hills, CA. The percentage of beneficial ownership of New Adagio is calculated based on 13,387,636 shares of New Adagio Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination.

Independence of Our Board of Directors

Under the Nasdaq listing standards, a majority of the members of the Board must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the Board. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Board has determined that each individual serving on the Board other than Olav Bergheim qualifies as an “independent director” under Nasdaq listing standards.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee.

Audit Committee


We established an audit committee of the Board. Ms. Gardiner and Messrs. Moaddeb and Moran serve as members of our audit committee. The Board has determined that each of Ms. Gardiner and Messrs.

Executive Compensation

New Adagio intends to develop an executive compensation program that is designed to align compensation with New Adagio’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling New Adagio to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of New Adagio.

Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by the New Adagio compensation committee of the New Adagio Board.

New Adagio has adopted the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan and the ESPP.

The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan

New Adagio has adopted the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan enables New Adagio to provide stock-based incentives that align the interests of employees, consultants and directors with those of the stockholders of New Adagio by motivating its employees to achieve long-term results and rewarding them for their achievements and to attract and retain the types of employees, consultants and directors who will contribute to New Adagio’s long-range success.


The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan became effective upon approval by ListCo's stockholders immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and will remain in effect until the tenth anniversary of its effective date, unless terminated earlier by the New Adagio Board.

The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 4,472,593 shares of New Adagio Common Stock (the “Initial Share Reserve”), plus an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2025 and ending in (and including) 2034 equal to the lesser of (A) five percent (5%) of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock as determined by the New Adagio Board or the compensation committee thereof (the sum of such shares of New Adagio Common Stock available for issuance under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the “Total Share Reserve”).

Up to the Initial Share Reserve may be issued under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, in the aggregate, through the exercise of incentive stock options.

No non-employee director may be granted awards, during any fiscal year, with respect to shares of New Adagio Common Stock that, together with any cash fees paid to the director during the fiscal year, have a total value that exceeds $750,000 or ($1,000,000 in the fiscal year of their initial service as a non-employee director) (calculating the value of any awards based on the grant date fair value for financial reporting purposes), provided that such limitation shall be applied without regard to awards granted to the non-employee directors during any period in which such individual was an employee of New Adagio or was otherwise providing services to New Adagio other than in the capacity as a non-employee director.

If any outstanding award expires or is canceled, forfeited, is settled for cash or terminated without issuance of the full number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock to which the award related, then the shares subject to such award will again become available for future grant under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. Shares tendered in payment of the option exercise price or delivered or withheld by New Adagio to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, or shares covered by a stock-settled stock appreciation right or other awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the award will again become available for future grants under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. To the extent permitted under applicable law, awards that provide for the delivery of shares of New Adagio Common Stock subsequent to the applicable grant date may be granted in excess of the Total Share Reserve if such awards provide for the forfeiture or cash settlement of such awards to the extent that insufficient shares of New Adagio Common Stock remain under the Total Share Reserve at the time that shares of New Adagio Common Stock would otherwise be issued in respect of such award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described herein, shares of New Adagio Common Stock purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options shall not be available for future grants of awards under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. Until the termination of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, any shares of New Adagio Common Stock repurchased by New Adagio with respect to performance stock awards or restricted stock awards at the same price paid by the holder or a lower price so that such shares of New Adagio Common Stock are returned to New Adagio will again be available for awards under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. The payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding awards shall not be counted against the shares of New Adagio Common Stock available for issuance under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. If any of the actions taken above would cause an incentive stock option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, such action will not be taken.

Generally, substitute awards shall not reduce the Total Share Reserve (other than as required by Section 422 of the Code) and, in the event that a company acquired by New Adagio or any subsidiary or with which New Adagio or any subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by its stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for awards under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan and shall not reduce the shares of New Adagio Common Stock authorized for grant under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan; provided that awards using such available shares of New Adagio Common Stock shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to New Adagio or its subsidiaries immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

The New Adagio compensation committee will make appropriate adjustments to these limits in the event of certain changes in the capitalization of New Adagio.


A more complete summary of the terms of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the subsection titled “The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan” in the section titled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination” beginning on page 297 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. That summary and the foregoing description of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.5 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan

New Adagio has adopted the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan. The 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan enables New Adagio to provide enhanced stock-based incentives to each of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Alex Babkin, Hakon Bergheim, Tim Glynn, Ilya Grigorov, Nabil Jubran, Doug Kurschinski, and James L. Cox (the “Eligible Individuals”) that align the interests of such individuals with those of the stockholders of New Adagio by motivating such individuals to achieve long-term results and rewarding them for their achievements.

The 2024 Key Employee Plan became effective upon approval by ListCo's stockholders immediately prior to the Business Combination and will remain in effect until the tenth anniversary of its effective date, unless terminated earlier by the New Adagio Board.

The 2024 Key Employee Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,354,445 shares of New Adagio Common Stock (the “Share Reserve”).

Up to the Share Reserve may be issued under the 2024 Key Employee Plan, in the aggregate, through the exercise of ISOs.

If any outstanding award expires or is canceled, forfeited, is settled for cash or terminated without issuance of the full number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock to which the award related, then the shares subject to such award will again become available for future grant under the 2024 Key Employee Plan. Shares tendered in payment of the option exercise price or delivered or withheld by New Adagio to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, or shares covered by a stock-settled SAR or other awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the award will again become available for future grants under the 2024 Key Employee Plan. To the extent permitted under applicable law, awards that provide for the delivery of shares of New Adagio Common Stock subsequent to the applicable grant date may be granted in excess of the Share Reserve if such awards provide for the forfeiture or cash settlement of such awards to the extent that insufficient shares of New Adagio Common Stock remain under the Share Reserve at the time that shares of New Adagio Common Stock would otherwise be issued in respect of such award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described herein, shares of New Adagio Common Stock purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options shall not be available for future grants of awards under the 2024 Key Employee Plan. Until the termination of the 2024 Key Employee Plan, any shares of New Adagio Common Stock repurchased by New Adagio with respect to performance stock awards or restricted stock awards at the same price paid by the holder or a lower price so that such shares of New Adagio Common Stock are returned to New Adagio will again be available for awards under the 2024 Key Employee Plan. The payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding awards shall not be counted against the shares of New Adagio Common Stock available for issuance under the 2024 Key Employee Plan. If any of the actions taken above would cause an ISO to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, such action will not be taken.

Generally, substitute awards shall not reduce the Total Share Reserve (other than as required by Section 422 of the Code) and, in the event that a company acquired by New Adagio or any subsidiary or with which New Adagio or any subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by its stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for awards under the 2024 Key Employee Plan and shall not reduce the shares of New Adagio Common Stock authorized for grant under the 2024 Key Employee Plan; provided that awards using such available shares of New Adagio Common Stock shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to New Adagio or its subsidiaries immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

The compensation committee will make appropriate adjustments to these limits in the event of certain changes in the capitalization of New Adagio.


A more complete summary of the terms of the 2024 Key Employee Plan is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the subsection titled “The 2024 Key Employee Plan” in the section titled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination” beginning on page 302 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. That summary and the foregoing description of the 2024 Key Employee Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2024 Key Employee Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.6 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The ESPP

New Adagio has adopted the ESPP. The purpose of the ESPP is to assist the eligible employees in acquiring a stock ownership interest in New Adagio in order to help eligible employees provide for their future security and to encourage them to remain in New Adagio’s employment.

The ESPP authorizes the issuance of up to 441,293 shares of New Adagio Common Stock, plus an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2025 and ending in (and including) 2034 equal to the lesser of (A) one percent (1%) of the share of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of common stock as determined by the New Adagio Board or its compensation committee.

A more complete summary of the terms of the ESPP is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the subsection titled “The ESPP” in the section titled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination” beginning on page 307 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
