ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
We are a global medical technology company focused on improving patient safety and aesthetic outcomes, initially in the breast aesthetics and reconstruction market. We initially incorporated in Costa Rica in 2004 and subsequently reorganized in 2013 under a parent holding company in the British Virgin Islands.
Our line of silicone gel-filled breast implants, branded as Motiva Implants, is the centerpiece of our medical technology platform. Our 5-year results from our Motiva U.S. IDE study as well as our patient and practitioner reported post-market surveillance data indicate that Motiva Implants have low rates of adverse events (including rupture, capsular contracture, and implant-related reoperations) that compare favorably with those of our competitors. We believe these proprietary technologies that differentiate our Motiva Implants result in improved safety and aesthetic outcomes and thus drive our revenue growth.
Since launching Motiva Implants in October 2010, the majority of our revenue has been generated from sales of our Motiva Implants. To date, our Motiva Implants are registered to be sold in over 100 countries, including our line of SmoothSilk Round and SmoothSilk Ergonomix Round Implants recently approved in the United States. Our portfolio of products are commercially available via exclusive distributors or our direct sales force and includes five product families of Motiva Implants: (i) Round and Ergonomix Round, (ii) Ergonomix Oval, (iii) Anatomical TrueFixation, (iv) Ergonomix2 Round and Ergonomix2 Diamond and (v) Flora Tissue Expander.

Recent Developments
Regulatory and Operational Updates
On October 14, 2025, we announced the publication of “The 3-Year Results of a 100-Patient Prospective Study of Safety and Effectiveness of Mia Femtech” in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. The study showed a very low rate of complications, with no reports of capsular contracture (Baker Grade III/IV), implant rupture, nipple or breast sensitivity loss, incision-related complications, infection, seroma, rippling, hematoma, or BIA-ALCL; the reoperation rate at 3 years was 1%. Patient and surgeon satisfaction was high, with patients reporting an 87% increase in breast satisfaction at 3 years and 90% of surgeons “very satisfied” with their overall experience and none “dissatisfied”. See “Our Clinical Data—Mia Femtech Clinical Study” below for additional information.
On May 7, 2025, we announced the appointment of Peter Caldini as Chief Executive Officer following the retirement of Juan José Chacón-Quirós as CEO, effective March 1, 2025. Mr. Caldini served as Interim CEO from March 1, 2025 until May 7, 2025. Mr. Chacón-Quirós continued as a member of the Board and as an advisor with the Company.
On March 6, 2025, we partnered with GRAMMY winner Meghan Trainor, generating over 9 billion media impressions and supporting our U.S. market launch.
In February 2025, we launched Preservé, a minimally invasive breast tissue-preserving technology for breast augmentation, revision augmentation and mastopexy augmentation. The initial commercial launch took place in Brazil, with further launches in other countries occurring throughout 2025, including an early experience group in the United States. Launches in additional countries, including a full launch in the United States, are expected in 2026.

Financing Activities
We signed an Inventory Funding Agreement, or Funding Agreement, on May 23, 2025, with RTW Master Fund, LTD., RTW Innovation Master Fund, LTD., and RTW Biotech Opportunities Operating LTD, collectively referred to as the Funding Providers, and RTW Investments, LP, as the funding representative, to finance purchases of silicone raw material to support the manufacture of Motiva Implants in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10 million in a funding period. Under the Funding Agreement, the Funding Providers will finance, upon request, eligible invoices at a 12% annual interest rate for an initial four-month term, or a later date if agreed by the Funding Providers in writing in their sole discretion. We drew $5 million at each of June 20, 2025 and September 26, 2025, and recorded this liability in “Other Liabilities, Short-Term”. On September 25, 2025, the Funding Agreement was amended to extend the due date for the amount received in June 2025 to May 15, 2026.
On September 29, 2025, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, or the Fourth Amendment, which provided for the availability of the Tranche D Term Loans to commence as of the effective date of the amendment, notwithstanding the revenue milestone originally set forth in the Agreement, and (ii) increased, effective September 28, 2025, the minimum liquidity that the Company and its subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Agreement are required to maintain from $25 million to $30 million. The fourth tranche, or the Tranche D Term Loan, of $25 million was advanced in September 2025.
During fiscal 2025, we also entered into short‑term insurance premium financing arrangements to fund the payment of business insurance premiums. The aggregate financing provided under these arrangements totaled approximately $3.4 million and bears interest at rates ranging from approximately 7.7% to 8.3% per annum. The borrowings are short‑term in nature and mature within ten months of issuance.
Our Market
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery is one of the leading aesthetic surgical procedures by number of procedures globally. Approximately 1.7 million breast augmentations were performed worldwide in 2024, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, or ISAPS.
Breast Reconstruction
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted in their Procedural Statistics Release that 162,579 breast reconstruction surgeries were performed in 2024 in the United States. According to Grand View Research, the global breast reconstruction market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030. The market, valued at $2.16 billion in 2024, is projected to exceed $3.15 billion by 2030. This growth is expected to be driven by factors like technological advancements, increased awareness, higher disposable income of women, growing medical tourism and a rising number of breast cancer cases worldwide.
Traditional Breast Implants and Their Limitations
Despite the global demand for breast augmentation procedures, there has been relatively little innovation since the 1990s. In 1992, due to emerging safety concerns, the FDA placed a moratorium on sales of silicone breast implants in the United States, which was lifted in 2006. This, combined with the ongoing FDA requirement for a PMA approval of all marketed breast implants, has discouraged breast implant innovation over the past 30 years. Many of the legacy breast implant options have relatively high complication rates, and we believe many do not mimic natural breast tissue.

(1) The rupture rates represent the MRI cohort only for each respective study, which consisted of 571 patients for Sientra, 158 patients for Allergan and 202 patients for Mentor.
We believe that the improved appearance, more natural feel and patient safety profile of our Motiva Implants provide a strong competitive advantage that will help us to both capture market share and achieve higher patient conversion rates by addressing the primary concerns described by patients who choose not to pursue breast augmentation surgery.
Our Growth Strategy
Our goal is to be the global leader in aesthetic surgical implant technology, including breast implants, while improving patient safety through product innovation. The key elements of our strategy include:
•Expand revenues in the U.S. market. We received 510(k) clearance for the Motiva Flora SmoothSilk Tissue Expander in October 2023 and PMA approval for our Motiva Implants from the FDA in September 2024, and we began commercial sales in the United States in October 2024. The U.S. is one of the largest breast implant market in the world, and Motiva Implants are the first new breast implant PMA-approved by the FDA since 2013.
•Expand revenues in existing markets. We anticipate continued growth in our existing markets, driven by our Motiva Implants and expanding our portfolio of minimally invasive products, including Preservé and Mia Femtech.
•Optimize patient conversion through sales and marketing programs. We employ a multi-faceted marketing strategy that includes social media engagement, influencers, conference presence, online advertising and patient and physician education programs.
•Pursue strategic acquisitions. From time to time, we may seek out other innovative products, services and procedures that complement our existing product portfolio We have acquired distributor networks in strategic markets and may pursue additional acquisitions in the future.
•Continue a high level of engagement with key opinion leaders. We promote Motiva Implants, in part, through physician education events led by key opinion leaders. In 2025 and 2024, we conducted 607 and 239 events, respectively, through our medical educational platform.
Seasonality
Our business is subject to predictable seasonal fluctuations that affect demand for our products and contribute to variability in quarterly results. In the United States, procedural volumes for breast augmentation typically peak in the spring ahead of the summer season and again from October to December and decline in January and February when surgeons attend professional meetings and in late June through early August when patients and surgeons take vacations. These industry‑wide seasonal patterns can lead to U.S. market volume declines of approximately 20% to 30% in certain periods, affecting demand for Motiva Implants.
These seasonal trends contribute to variability in our quarter‑over‑quarter performance and should be considered when evaluating our operating results. Although the degree of seasonality may vary by geography and product line, these patterns are characteristic of the broader breast aesthetics industry and influence both distributor purchasing behavior and direct sales volume.

Motiva Implants
The Motiva breast implants are a Class III Medical Device (based on the designations in the U.S. and the E.U.) indicated for breast augmentation and breast reconstruction, including revision surgeries to correct or improve the result of a previous breast implant surgery. We launched Motiva Implants commercially in October 2010. Motiva Implants incorporate several proprietary features that we believe contribute to their favorable safety profile, natural appearance and feel. Our latest generation of Motiva Implants utilizes our proprietary Gravity Sensitive Ergonomix design, with a round base implant that responds to gravity by shifting its maximum point of projection, offering the more “natural” projection of a shaped implant without the malposition and rotation issues frequently associated with shaped implants. Furthermore, our fill material with the ProgressiveGel platform of silicone gel rheologies consists of highly purified biocompatible gels with specific viscoelastic properties that we believe enables Motiva Implants to respond to the patient’s motion in ways that more closely mimic the appearance, feel and movement of natural breast tissue. Our catalog includes over 1,000 product variations with round, oval and anatomical

shapes and volumes ranging from 95cc to 1060cc, resulting in a wider range of options than those offered by our major competitors.
Ergonomix2 incorporates the latest innovations, including our most advanced ultra-high purity chemistries designed for enhanced device safety mechanical properties and improved patient ergonomics. Ergonomix2 also features our patented SmoothSilk surface technology, which is the basis of Motiva Implants’ low inflammatory characteristics that have contributed to the lowest capsular contracture rates in the industry. Ergonomix2 was CE marked in December 2020 and labeled for use in both aesthetic and reconstruction procedures.
A study published in February 2023 by the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons of breast reconstruction procedures using Ergonomix from January 2017 to January 2022 for 156 patients concluded that Ergonomix implants showcase a unique set of technologies that provide good results with a low complication rate.
Shell Surface: SmoothSilk
The surface topography of the breast implant shell surface varies between commercially available breast implants. Our SmoothSilk surface on all Motiva Implants was designed to reduce the inflammatory process caused by the immune response, enhancing product biocompatibility. The controlled manufacturing process provides the same surface topography around the entire implant for the benefit of patients.
Our retrospective implant data shows that Motiva Implants have a lower rate of capsular contracture and seromas when compared to published data from competitors. We believe that these results are due in large part to the proprietary surface of our Motiva Implants. Our proprietary shell surfaces have an average roughness of 4 microns and have more uniform surface features than those of our primary competitors based on several studies using methods such as scanning electron microscopy, profilometry testing and statistical parameters comparisons.
An abstract presented in 2017 by researchers at Montana State University showed less accumulation of both bacteria and biofilm on SmoothSilk surface in vitro when compared to smoother and textured implant surfaces. Biofilm formed on implant surfaces increases the risk of bacteria accumulation and capsule formation.
In December 2018, we commissioned an independent report from the French reference laboratory Laboratoire National de Metrologie et d’Essais, or LNE, on the surface characteristics of our Motiva Implants. Based upon its testing, LNE concluded that the SmoothSilk shell surface in the Motiva Implants is a smooth surface as defined by ISO 14607:2018 categorization.
A 2021 published study with a high impact factor in Nature Biomedical Engineering led by Professor Robert Langer, Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, concluded that the SmoothSilk surface can largely suppress the foreign body response and fibrosis provoking the least amount of inflammation in comparison with the other commercially available surfaces. A larger percentage of macrophages in the cell mix indicates an inflammatory response, which is an early stage in capsule formation. We believe the more moderate inflammatory response observed on SmoothSilk is responsible for improved biocompatibility and lower complication profile.
In November 2022, another publication related to the SmoothSilk surface was published in the Journal of Engineering Tribology by researchers from the College of Engineering at University of California, Santa Barbara. The extent of the surface roughness as examined for the silicone implant shells for SmoothSilk resulted in the lowest friction coefficient and fewest wear debris particles in the size range favored by the macrophages. This highlights the optimal ranges of the SmoothSilk design to reduce frictional shared stress and wear debris during the tribological interactions.
ProgressiveGel Family
The proprietary silicone chemistries that comprise our ProgressiveGel family allow for a high degree of viscoelasticity and strength while adding characteristics such as softness and high ductility that enable movement dynamics more like that of natural breast tissue. We believe that the cohesive properties reduce the likelihood of silicone gel leakage in the event of a rupture in the shell. The strength of the gel is believed to contribute to a reduced frequency of gel fracture, a condition which leads to deformed implant shape and stress on the implant’s shell. While other manufacturers have claimed a “high strength” gel, ours combines a notably high elasticity (the ability to stretch without permanent deformation) with low viscosity, both of which are designed to reduce the susceptibility of the implants to rupture while improving their tactile feel and movement dynamics. Additionally, the

Table of Contents
improved adhesion of the gel to the shell structure avoids the appearance of separation spots, an aesthetic defect commonly seen in competitor products.
In addition to the anticipated safety advantages, our ProgressiveGel family provides for movement characteristics that resemble natural breast tissue. Our later generation Ergonomix products further mimic natural tissue, with a maximum point of projection that shifts lower to create a natural human breast shape when a patient is standing. This allows our Motiva Implants to provide the more natural aesthetics of “shaped” or “teardrop” implants without the risk of associated drawbacks such as breast deformation from rotation and unnaturally hard tactile feel. The images below illustrate the implants’ ability to change shape depending on the patient’s positioning.
TrueMonobloc
Our TrueMonobloc technology, which is incorporated into all generations of Motiva Implants currently sold, combines proprietary chemistry with our proprietary manufacturing techniques to create a shell, gel and other components that are tightly bound to one another. This results in an implant that is more homogeneously elastic and resistant to separation of the gel from the shell, addressing one type of implant failure that can lead to shell ruptures and silicone leaks. This also enables Motiva Implants to be stretched and squeezed to a more significant degree, which we believe currently enables breast augmentation through incision sizes smaller than one inch, compared with the published industry norm of approximately two inches. A surgical technique that we have developed, which we call Minimally Invasive Aesthetics, or Mia Femtech, utilizes our next-generation Ergonomix2 Diamond implant to take advantage of these physical properties to enable a less-invasive procedure for the patient. The following image shows that TrueMonobloc enables significant manipulation of a Motiva Implant without separation of gel from shell.
Radio-Frequency Identification Platform (RFID) Technology
We offer a Radio-Frequency Identification Device microtransponder (also referred to as Qid, or the latest generation, ZEN) that is placed in the filling gel as an optional feature for all implant styles. This microtransponder provides each device with a unique electronic serial number for traceability purposes.
9
Table of Contents
The microtransponder contains only a unique 15-digit code that identifies the product and does not contain any patient information. This microtransponder can be read with a simple pass from our non-invasive and inexpensive reading device, the Qid Safety Technology Reader, and the serial number corresponds with related information in our MotivaImagine database such as implant type, size and other characteristics. Patients can create a secure account, register the products and include applicable patient information either through the MotivaImagine application or our website, to access their implant information. The MotivaImagine application and Motiva Implants website also allow the patient to access the implant warranty information. This traceability is intended to give patients comfort that any future recalls can be positively identified as applying, or not applying, to that patient’s particular implant. This addresses a key concern that often discourages women who are otherwise interested in implants from making the choice to move forward with the surgery. Motiva Implants are currently the only breast implants on the international market with Qid Safety Technology; however, we believe there is an opportunity to sell these microtransponders to other medical device companies in the space.
Each implant’s unique electronic serial number is encoded into the RFID circuitry as part of a three-point authentication system: the microtransponder, the reader and the database. This authentication system prevents unauthorized access to any personal information of the patient and is compliant with FDA regulations.
In October 2023, we announced Zen, which is part of our next generation Zensor RFID platform. The new Zen technology has all the previous benefits of Qid, but is now entirely non-ferromagnetic. In 2023, the Motiva Ergonomix2 Diamond implants used in the Mia Femtech system feature Zen and are available in select geographies with Motiva Ergonomix2 Round Implants in programs like the JOY program. We believe the Zensor platform has the potential to add additional capabilities in future generations, such as the measurement of temperature and other parameters. Zen with temperature sensing is currently in human trials as part of an IRB-approved study.
BluSeal
The Motiva Implant shell is constructed of successive layers of silicone elastomer and a low diffusion barrier layer. The key function of the low diffusion barrier layer is to prevent diffusion of low molecular weight siloxane species from the implant to the tissues. This barrier layer embeds our BluSeal indicator technology, which is a key feature used during the manufacturing process to verify that the barrier is present in a uniform way around the entire shell. It is also used as a visual quality control and safety measure to minimize potential gel diffusion. This patented manufacturing innovation is intended to highlight any imperfections in the barrier layer coverage with a distinct color. Our BluSeal indicator technology also provides the plastic surgeon with the ability to verify whether the barrier layer has coverage defects or other imperfections before implantation that might lead to post-implantation shell rupture or gel bleed. We believe this is another safety innovation that contributes to our substantially lower reported implant rupture rates as compared to reports for our primary competitors.

Motiva Flora Tissue Expander
The Motiva Flora Tissue Expander is used in breast reconstruction surgery for temporary implantation (less than six months) to gradually expand the breast tissue prior to the placement of a long-term breast implant. After implantation, the device is periodically filled with saline solution via an injection port to increase its volume to stretch the skin and create a pocket for breast implant placement. The injection port is dome-shaped and includes an RFID coil, which can be accurately located utilizing the port locator. The Motiva Flora Tissue Expander is the first MRI Conditional expander and is the only tissue expander in the market with an integrated RFID port with no magnets, allowing for use of the expander safely alongside MRI (1.5 and 3 Tesla) scanning. The Motiva Flora received CE mark in June 2020 and 510(k) clearance from the FDA in October 2023 and has been registered in 79 countries. The Motiva Flora also includes the SmoothSilk surface, which provides biocompatibility benefits described above. Our catalog includes 15 variations, including three different heights, and a range of volumes from 260 to 995 cc.

Minimally Invasive Aesthetics: Preservé and Mia Femtech
In February 2025, we introduced Preservé in targeted markets, a minimally invasive breast tissue-preserving technology designed for breast augmentation, revision augmentation, and mastopexy augmentation. This innovative solution aims to maintain the structural anatomy and function of the breast during aesthetic surgery, resulting in more stable and natural outcomes compared to traditional methods. Preservé utilizes our proprietary minimally invasive surgical tools along with Ergonomix2 implants, which feature the patented SmoothSilk surface for improved biocompatibility and softness. These implants are unique in the industry, adapting their shape as the body changes position. Preservé is suitable for primary augmentations of up to four cups, hybrid augmentations, and mastopexy augmentations. The initial commercial launch occurred in Brazil, with further launches in other countries occurring throughout 2025, including an early experience group in the United States. Launches in additional countries, including a full launch in the United States, are expected in 2026.
In April 2023, we launched Mia Femtech — a patient-centric procedure designed to allow breast augmentation to be performed under local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia, through smaller incisions, with faster recovery times and a resulting reduction in surgical complications. The Mia Femtech system includes the specially-designed Ergonomix2 Diamond implant, which received CE mark in December 2020, and its proprietary tools, including the Motiva Inflatable Balloon and the Motiva Injector.
In December 2020, we received a CE mark for our Motiva Ergonomix2 Diamond breast implant, the implant used in the Mia Femtech procedure. In early 2021, we completed enrollment in our one hundred patient Mia® Femtech case series in Costa Rica. In October 2025, we published the three-year results of the Motiva Femtech Clinical Study. The study, which had a three-year follow-up compliance rate of 93%, found no reports of capsular contracture (Baker Grade III/IV), ruptures (suspected or confirmed), bleeding, hematoma, or seroma requiring intervention in the study. Based on our market research, we believe Mia Femtech will continue to attract new consumers and expand the market for breast aesthetic procedures.
We currently offer Mia Femtech in multiple countries across the world with plastic surgeons fully certified to provide the Mia experience.
Our Clinical Data
Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Study to Support PMA
We are conducting a prospective IDE clinical trial in the United States on our Motiva Round and Motiva Ergonomix Round product families. Our IDE submission was approved by the FDA on March 20, 2018 to perform

Table of Contents
a single open-label, prospective, multi-center trial, with follow-up visit data reported annually and at the time of filing. We will continue to monitor patients for ten years post-implantation. The primary endpoints of the trial are safety, effectiveness and patient satisfaction. In general, our trial design and patient enrollment are consistent with prior PMA studies conducted by Allergan, Mentor, and Sientra. In August 2019, we announced that we were implementing a bifurcated regulatory strategy in the United States, which is designed to allow us to initiate the rolling submission of data to the FDA from the primary augmentation and revision augmentation cohorts, and then subsequently supplement our PMA with data from the reconstruction cohorts. All the enrollment procedures and the three-year study subject follow-up have been completed in the aesthetics cohort, which includes primary augmentation and revision augmentation, with total enrollment of 451 and 265 subjects, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we initiated a modular PMA submission process with the FDA and submitted the first of four expected modules. In April 2022, we released preliminary results of the two-year patient follow-up data for the primary augmentation cohort of our IDE clinical trial. The second module was submitted in May 2022. In June 2022, full enrollment of the IDE clinical trial was complete, and all surgeries in the primary reconstruction cohort were performed. In August 2022, the third module was submitted to the FDA. The final fourth module was submitted to the FDA in February 2023.
We received FDA PMA approval for the augmentation cohort in September 2024. The IDE Study reconstruction cohort is ongoing with all reconstruction patients having recently completed 3-years of study follow-up.
In March 2025, the results of the Motiva US IDE Study were published, including the five-year data for 451 primary augmentation patients enrolled in the study based on a follow-up compliance rate of 89%. The five-year, by-patient, Kaplan-Meier risk rates of first occurrence of complications for patients (95% confidence interval) in the primary augmentation cohort were as follows:

Patient and Practitioner-Reported 15-Year Safety Post-Market Surveillance Data
Dating from the commercial launch of Motiva Implants in October 2010 through December 2025, we have sold over 4.8 million breast implants in various countries. We maintain a Quality Management System database to track and report complaints received from patients or physicians. From October 2010 through December 2025, a total of 7,400 complaints have been reported, investigated and processed, representing approximately 0.1% of the total Motiva Implants sold through December 2025. There were no reported cases of double capsule formation or primary cases of breast-implant associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL, in this data set. There were 82 cases of early seroma and 28 cases of late seroma reported. The table below shows the rates of rupture, capsular contracture and reoperation for adverse events of our Motiva Implants from the data gathered through December 2025. In contrast to the above 10-year competitor CORE Study data required for FDA PMA reporting, our PMS data is collected to monitor product safety and effectiveness in the commercial setting.

relationships with surgeons and clinics in their respective regions, and to positioning our product in the marketplace as a premium product with consequent premium pricing.
We demonstrate our confidence in Motiva Implants with the Motiva Always Confident Warranty, which offers patients a free replacement for any Motiva Implant that ruptures, for the life of the product. We also replace any implant which is replaced due to capsular contracture of Baker Grade III or IV severity at any time in the first 10 years of post-implantation. In addition, we offer an extended warranty at additional cost outside the JOY program, which provides financial assistance to cover surgical costs resulting from rupture or capsular contracture. In the United States, the Motiva Health Program also covers implant replacement for late forming seroma and double capsule complication within 10 years post-implantation and provides financial assistance for surgical costs related to BIA-ALCL. An extended warranty is available for an additional cost, covering up to $15,000 for surgical expenses based on specific circumstances.
We employ a multi-faceted marketing strategy that includes social media engagement, influencers, conferences, advertisements and education.
Intellectual Property
Our success depends at least in part upon our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we rely on a combination of intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets and trademarks, as well as customary contractual protections.
We have assembled a broad portfolio of intellectual property related to our medical device and aesthetics products. We believe this intellectual property, combined with proprietary manufacturing processes and the regulatory approvals we have successfully obtained outside of the United States, provide us with a strong market position. As of December 31, 2025, we own or have rights to 36 issued, 1 allowed and 12 pending patents in the United States related to various aspects of our Motiva Implants (such as implant barrier layers, surface texture technology, minimally invasive implant delivery systems, minimally invasive and tissue preservation procedures and systems and our Qid Safety Technology or ZEN radio frequency identification devices). In addition, we own or have rights to 178 issued, 1 allowed and 48 pending foreign applications and 1 pending Patent Cooperation Treaty, or PCT, application. Our owned and licensed patents are expected to expire at various times between March 2032 and February 2040. Our owned and licensed pending applications, if granted, likely would expire between September 2033 and October 2045.
In addition to pursuing patents on our products, we have taken steps to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology by entering into confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, consultants, corporate partners, and, when needed, our advisors. Such agreements may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements, and we may not be able to prevent such unauthorized disclosure. Monitoring unauthorized disclosure is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to prevent such disclosure are, or will be, adequate. In addition, we intend to expand our international operations, and effective patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may not be available or may be limited in foreign countries.
In general, the medical device industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent allegations and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Third parties, including our competitor companies, may assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights against us, our partners or our customers. Our standard license and other agreements may obligate us to indemnify our partners and customers against such claims. We could incur substantial costs and divert the attention of our management and technical personnel in defending against any such claims. Successful claims of infringement by a third party could prevent us from selling or distributing certain products or performing certain services, require us to expend time and resources to develop non-infringing products, or force us to pay substantial damages, including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed patents-royalties or other fees. We cannot assure you that we do not currently infringe, or that we will not in the future infringe, upon any third-party patents or other proprietary rights.
Research and Development
Our goal is to continue to improve our existing products, as well as develop new products and new surgical techniques. We have a highly experienced team and deep customer and key opinion leader relationships. We also have sophisticated internal prototyping and testing equipment.

We have and will continue to work with several institutions in our effort to advance implant technology and generate additional scientific data to support the improved safety outcomes associated with our products, including:
•Massachusetts Institute of Technology
•Medical University of Innsbruck
•Department of Bioengineering at Rice University
•University of Cape Town Faculty of Health Sciences
•University of California, Santa Barbara
•University Hospital Ghent Department of Plastic Surgery
•The Chair of Plastic Surgery at the School of Medicine and Psychology of Sapienza University of Rome
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant R&D expenses. We incurred R&D expenses of $20.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our R&D expenses consist of costs associated with our clinical and post-approval studies, regulatory activity and product development, including the development of Motiva Implants and other current and future aesthetic and reconstruction surgical devices on our product platform.
Implantable RFID Microtransponder Platform
The RFID technology platform that we use in the Qid feature of our Motiva Implants is independently cleared as a system via the FDA’s 510(k) pathway. We are developing more sophisticated functionality using this technology platform. We believe our RFID technology will be an attractive platform for a variety of other applications, including unique device identification for other types of implantable medical devices, functional implantable biosensors, and diagnostic monitoring. Future specific indications include detection of device life cycles (e.g., flexion/contraction cycles for artificial hip and knee joints) and monitoring of analytes such as circulating tumor cells and blood chemistry components. Some of these applications we may choose to develop and commercialize internally, while others may be more appropriately commercialized via partnerships with other medical device companies. In October 2023, we launched Zen, a non-ferromagnetic, next- generation passive RFID technology available in Motiva Ergonomix2 Diamond implants used in the Mia Femtech system and select geographies with Motiva Ergonomix2 Round Implants in the JOY program.
We control all the activities of the development and manufacturing of our Qid Safety Technology RFID transponders. This allows us to adapt to specific needs or new developments in our field.
Manufacturing and Suppliers
Facilities
We manufacture our products in ISO-13485-certified manufacturing facilities located in the Coyol Free Zone office park in Alajuela, Costa Rica, a park populated by a number of international medical device companies and granted tax-advantaged status by the government of Costa Rica.
Our two manufacturing facilities include our original manufacturing facility opened at the end of 2016 and the newly-constructed corporate office and manufacturing facility we finalized in 2024. The original facility has approximately 28,000 square feet of office space and production areas which are capable of producing over 400,000 implants a year, with state-of-the-art support systems for sustaining production, including an ice-bank system for cooling the controlled air in the clean room and support areas, water-lubricated air compressors for eliminating the presence of particulates, heat recovery systems for energy saving, and an energy micro-grid comprised of solar panels and energy-storage batteries. These energy efficient systems generate up to 80% of the total energy consumption of the building, which received LEED Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council in August 2017.
In June 2024, we finalized the construction of our Sulàyöm Innovation Campus including 100,000 square feet of manufacturing, medical, research, and office space allowing us to increase our manufacturing capacity by approximately 730,000 units per year. The facility has space to further expand manufacturing capacity, as needed. The facility obtained necessary regulatory approvals and commenced manufacturing by the end of fiscal 2024. The Sulàyöm Innovation Campus is certified as LEED Platinum and EDGE Advanced, reflecting adherence to the
16
Table of Contents
highest international standards of sustainable construction and energy efficiency. See Note 3 “Balance Sheet Accounts” for additional information regarding this construction project.
Both of our facilities in the Coyol Free Zone are Carbon Neutral certified by the Costa Rican Ministry of Environment, Energy, and Telecommunications, based on the implementation of efficiency-aimed actions such as the reduction of energy consumption through the acquisition of more efficient equipment; the combined use of solar panels, ice banks, and battery storage units; and the avoidance of fossil fuels for our operations.
In 2025, the U.S. FDA authorized our Costa Rican facilities to manufacture all Motiva USA PMA‑approved products, including our Round and Round Ergonomix Breast Implants. This approval expands our U.S.-bound production capacity and supports long‑term operational efficiency.
All of our manufacturing facilities have received the MDSAP regulatory certification. MDSAP was established by a coalition of international medical device regulatory authorities, including Australia’s TGA, Brazil’s ANVISA, Health Canada, Japan’s MHLW and PMDA and the U.S. FDA. The goal of MDSAP is to allow a single regulatory audit of a medical device manufacturer’s Quality Management System to satisfy the needs of the participating regulatory jurisdictions. This program enables manufacturers to contract with an authorized third-party auditing organization, in our case the British Standards Institute, to conduct a single audit to satisfy the relevant regulatory requirements of the participating regulatory authorities including the FDA, which recognizes MDSAP audit reports as a substitute for FDA Establishment Inspection Reports.
We are also subject to periodic inspections and audits by various international regulatory and notified bodies, and we believe our past performance in these audits reflects the strength of our Quality Management System and manufacturing controls. We consider this to be a key element of our risk management and business continuity strategies and a competitive advantage as we have full control of the product lifecycle. Our in-house manufacturing team undergoes well defined training programs throughout their period of employment. We believe our manufacturing experience, know-how, and process-related trade secrets are also a competitive advantage.
Process
We produce our shell surfaces using a novel 3D negative imprinting molding technique that allows much more precise control over feature size, a uniform distribution of features on the surface, no particles creation, and less unit-to-unit variation. Our primary competitors utilize the “salt-loss” technique or “polyurethane foam imprint” technique. The “salt-loss” technique blows crystals of salt or sugar onto the uncured silicone shell in order to produce surface texture and the “polyurethane foam imprint” technique uses a foreign material to press against the last uncured silicone layer to produce surface features. We believe our 3D negative imprinting technique is more efficient and consistent than the techniques used by our competitors because the application of our advanced smooth surface is integrated with the molding process, rather than requiring a separate, subsequent process step.
Suppliers
We source manufacturing inputs from a number of outside suppliers. In particular, we obtain NuSil brand medical-grade silicone from Avantor, Inc. (formerly NuSil Technology LLC), or Avantor, which is a sole-source supplier of such products to the majority of the silicone breast implant industry. In May 2022, we entered into a master supply agreement with Avantor, which provides for specified prices per unit of each relevant component, has an initial term ending on December 31, 2026 and automatically renews for successive terms of one year each for up to five successive renewal terms. Avantor has recently informed us that it does not intend to allow the agreement to renew automatically and plans to enter into negotiations regarding future supply terms.
Other critical materials are the silicone patches and other silicone components used for the assembly of our breast implants. All of these components are also made with NuSil medical-grade silicone and manufactured by specialized silicone contract manufacturing suppliers. All component suppliers undergo strict quality inspections to ensure these can meet our quality standard. Other important components are the primary packaging polycarbonate trays, the Tyvek sealing lids and packaging. All these components are also critical to maintain the integrity of the product throughout its shelf-life, and all of these suppliers must be qualified, and all materials must be validated prior to being approved for manufacturing activities. We conduct annual evaluations for most of our suppliers and engage in second-source supplier initiatives to ensure the continuity of business operations, enhance quality, and reduce costs.

Competition
The U.S. market for silicone breast implants is relatively concentrated, within Allergan Aesthetics, a division of AbbVie, Mentor Worldwide LLC, a division of Johnson & Johnson, and Sientra Inc., which was acquired by Tiger Aesthetics Medical. Internationally, the market is more fragmented, with the primary producers being GC Aesthetics plc, Silimed, Inc., Groupe Sebbin SAS, Hans Biomed Crop., Polytech Health & Aesthetics, and Arion Laboratories.
Our major competitors in the silicone breast implant marketplace are either publicly traded companies or divisions or subsidiaries of publicly traded companies with significantly more market share and resources than we have. These companies have greater financial resources for sales, marketing and product development, broader established relationships with healthcare providers and third-party payers, and larger and more established distribution networks. In some instances, our competitors also offer products that include features that we do not currently offer in all geographies. Our competitors also have regulatory approval to market and sell their products in countries where we currently do not. In addition, our competitors may offer pricing programs with discounts across their non-breast aesthetic product portfolios.
We also face potential future competition from a number of companies, medical researchers and existing medical device companies that may be pursuing new implant technologies. These include non-implant breast augmentation through injections of autologous adipose tissue, new material technologies such as synthetic fillers, and new methods of enhancing and reconstructing the breast.
We believe the primary competitive factors in our current and future markets include:
•safety and outcomes data generated in clinical studies;
•regulatory approvals;
•technological characteristics of products;
•complementary platforms of non-implant products, such as facial fillers and fat grafting technologies;
•product price;
•customer service; and
•support by key opinion leaders.
Notwithstanding the competitive advantages that may be held by our larger competitors across many of the above factors, we believe our competitive strengths include our patient safety profile; proprietary implant technologies; a complementary suite of products and designed surgical procedures (including MotivaHybrid, Motiva MinimalScar, Mia Femtech, and Preservé); vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities in Costa Rica utilizing proprietary 3D imprinted molding methods; a global sales platform combining exclusive distributor arrangements with direct sales in key markets such as Brazil and Europe; and a management team with significant experience in the medical aesthetics industry.
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
Breast implants are regulated as medical devices in the United States, and are subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDC Act, as implemented and enforced by the FDA. The FDA administers requirements covering the design, development, testing (non-clinical and clinical research), safety, effectiveness, manufacturing, labeling, packaging, promotion, advertising, distribution, recordkeeping, import/export and post-market surveillance of medical devices in order to ensure that devices distributed in the United States are safe and effective for their intended uses and otherwise meet the requirements of the FDC Act. The FDA also collects user fees for certain medical device submissions and annual fees for medical device establishments.
FDA Premarket Clearance and Approval Requirements
Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the United States requires either FDA clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, authorization of a de novo application, or approval of a PMA. Under the FDC Act, medical devices are classified as Class I (lowest risk), II (moderate risk), or III (highest risk), with each successive class reflecting a greater extent of manufacturer and regulatory control needed to ensure device safety and effectiveness. Class I devices are those for which safety and effectiveness can be assured by adherence to the FDA’s General Controls for medical devices, which include compliance with the applicable portions of the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR), facility registration and product listing, reporting
18
Table of Contents
of adverse medical events, and truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising, and promotional materials. Class II devices are subject to the FDA’s General Controls and special controls as deemed necessary by the FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device. These special controls can include performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient registries and FDA guidance documents. Class III devices are those deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risks, such as life sustaining, life supporting, or some implantable devices, or devices that have a new intended use or employ advanced technology that is not substantially equivalent to that of a legally marketed device. These must comply with all requirements under the FDC Act, including specific requirements and limitations pursuant to the order issued by FDA subsequent to PMA approval. While our instruments are cleared as Class II devices, breast implants are currently classified as Class III devices requiring an approved PMA for commercial distribution.
510(k) Clearance Pathway
Manufacturers of most Class II devices are required to submit to the FDA a premarket notification under Section 510(k) of the FDC Act requesting permission to commercially distribute the device (generally known as 510(k) clearance). To obtain 510(k) clearance, the submitted 510(k) notice must demonstrate that the proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a predicate device (i.e., a legally marketed device that is not subject to PMA approval) already on the market. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to twelve months, but it can take longer. The FDA may require additional information, including clinical data, to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence. Over the last several years, the FDA has proposed reforms to its 510(k) clearance process, and such proposals could include increased requirements for clinical data and a longer review period, or could make it more difficult for manufacturers to utilize the 510(k) clearance process for their products.
If the FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, it will grant 510(k) clearance to commercially market the device. If the FDA determines that the device is “not substantially equivalent” to a previously cleared device, the device is automatically designated as a Class III device. The device sponsor must then fulfill more rigorous PMA requirements or can request a risk-based classification determination for the device in accordance with the “de novo” process, which is a route to market for novel medical devices that are low- to moderate-risk and are not substantially equivalent to a predicate device.
After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change or modification in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or, depending on the modification, PMA approval. The FDA requires each manufacturer to determine whether the proposed change requires submission of a 510(k) or a PMA in the first instance, but the FDA can review any such decision and disagree with a manufacturer’s determination. If that happens, the FDA can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or request the recall of the modified device until 510(k) clearance or PMA approval is obtained. Also, in these circumstances, the manufacturer may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.
In February 2019, we received 510(k) clearance for the Motiva Single-use Sterile Sizers.
In October 2023, the FDA granted 510(k) clearance for the Motiva Flora SmoothSilk Tissue Expander.
Premarket Approval Application Pathway
Class III devices generally require approval of a PMA before they can be marketed. The process of obtaining PMA approval is much more costly, lengthy, and uncertain than the 510(k) process. In a PMA, the manufacturer must demonstrate that the device is safe and effective, and the application must be supported by extensive data, including data from preclinical studies and human clinical trials. The PMA must also contain a full description of the device and its components, a full description of the methods, facilities, and controls used for manufacturing, and proposed labeling. Following receipt of a PMA, the FDA determines whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If the FDA accepts the application for review, it has 180 days under the FDC Act to complete its review, although in practice, the review often takes significantly longer, and can take up to several years. An advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA may be convened to review and evaluate the application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to the approvability of the device, which the FDA may or may not accept. In addition, the FDA will conduct a pre-approval inspection of the applicant’s manufacturing facility or facilities to ensure compliance with the QMSR.
The FDA will approve the new Class III device for commercial distribution if it determines that the data and information in the PMA constitute valid scientific evidence and that there is reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended use(s). A PMA may include post-approval conditions intended to ensure the
19
Table of Contents
safety and effectiveness of the device, including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale and distribution, and collection of long-term follow-up data from patients in the clinical study that supported the PMA or requirements to conduct additional clinical studies post-approval. The FDA may condition PMA approval on some form of post-market surveillance when deemed necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device in a larger population or for a longer period of use. In such cases, the manufacturer might be required to follow certain patient groups for a number of years and to make periodic reports to the FDA on the clinical status of those patients. Failure to comply with the conditions of approval can result in material adverse enforcement action, including withdrawal of the approval.
Related to our devices specifically, the FDA’s guidance document “Saline, Silicone Gel, and Alternative Breast Implants” currently recommends that a core study, which can be a single, open label, multi-center study, be conducted with ten years or more of prospective patient follow-up. To date, PMAs for silicone breast implants have been submitted for approval to the FDA with a minimum of three years of premarket core study data. Additionally, the FDA will not approve the PMA until it conducts a pre-approval inspection of our manufacturing facility and determines that it is in compliance with good manufacturing practices, as set forth in the FDA’s QMSR. The PMA review and approval process generally takes from one to three years but may take longer. The FDA’s guidance document “Saline, Silicone Gel, and Alternative Breast Implants” also states that manufacturers seeking approval of breast implants will be subject to post-approval requirements, which may include, but are not limited to, long-term follow-up of the core clinical study patients, conduction of new enrollment post-approval studies, participation in a patient registry or other studies, training programs for physicians and surgeons, and periodic reporting requirements.
Certain changes to an approved device, such as changes in manufacturing facilities, methods, or quality control procedures, or changes in the design performance specifications, which affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, require submission of a PMA supplement. PMA supplements often require submission of the same type of information as a PMA, except that the supplement is limited to information needed to support any changes from the device covered by the original PMA and may not require as extensive clinical data or the convening of an advisory panel. Certain other changes to an approved device require the submission of a new PMA, such as when the design change causes a different intended use, mode of operation, and technical basis of operation, or when the design change is so significant that a new generation of the device will be developed, and the data that were submitted with the original PMA are not applicable to demonstrate a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness with respect to the change.
In September 2024, we received PMA approval from the FDA for our Motiva Implants including our Post Approval Study. Beginning in October 2024 we submitted a PMA Supplement for our Post Approval Study protocol, and we began selling Motiva Implants for use in breast augmentation for patients in the United States.
In November 2024, we received PMA Approval for our Post Approval Study (PAS), which is currently enrolling patients.
In November 2025, we submitted a PMA Supplement requesting approval of an additional manufacturing site (B23) for the manufacture of PMA approved products. FDA approval was received in December 2025.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are almost always required to support a PMA and are sometimes required to support a 510(k) submission. All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s IDE regulations, including regulations related to informed consent, Institutional Review Board, or IRB, review and approval, Good Clinical Practices, or GCPs, and labeling of investigational devices. Our clinical study sites are additionally subject to possible inspection by the FDA.
If the device presents a “significant risk” to human health, as defined by the FDA, the device sponsor must submit an IDE application to the FDA, which must be approved prior to commencing human clinical trials. A significant risk device is one that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety or welfare of a patient and either is implanted, used in supporting or sustaining human life, substantially important in diagnosing, curing, mitigating or treating disease or otherwise preventing impairment of human health, or otherwise presents a potential for serious risk to a subject. An IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory test results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is scientifically sound. The IDE will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA notifies the company that the investigation may not begin. If the FDA determines that there are deficiencies or other concerns with an IDE for which modification is required, it may permit a clinical trial to proceed under a conditional approval.
20
Table of Contents
In addition, the study must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an IRB for each clinical site. The IRB is responsible for the initial and continuing review of the IDE study and may pose additional requirements for the conduct of the study. If an IDE application is approved by the FDA and one or more IRBs, human clinical trials may begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a specific number of patients, as approved by the FDA. If the device presents a non-significant risk to the patient, a sponsor may begin the clinical trial after obtaining approval for the trial by one or more IRBs without separate approval from the FDA but must still follow abbreviated IDE requirements, such as monitoring the investigation, ensuring that the investigators obtain informed consent, and labeling and record-keeping requirements. Acceptance of an IDE application for review does not guarantee that the FDA will allow the study to begin and, if it does, the FDA may or may not determine that the data derived from the trials support the safety and effectiveness of the device or warrant the continuation of clinical trials. An IDE supplement must be submitted to, and approved by, the FDA before a sponsor or investigator may make a change to the investigational plan that may affect its scientific soundness, study plan, or the rights, safety or welfare of human subjects.
During a study, the sponsor is required to comply with the applicable FDA requirements, including, for example, trial monitoring, selecting clinical investigators and providing them with the investigational plan, ensuring IRB review, adverse event reporting, record-keeping and prohibitions on the promotion of investigational devices or on making safety or effectiveness claims for them. The clinical investigators are also subject to FDA regulations and must obtain patient informed consent, rigorously follow the investigational plan and study protocol, control the disposition of the investigational device, and comply with all reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Additionally, after a trial begins, we, the FDA or the IRB could suspend or terminate it at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to study subjects outweigh the anticipated benefits.
Post-Market Regulation
After a device is cleared or approved for marketing, numerous and extensive regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:
•establishment registration and device listing with the FDA;
•QMSR requirements, which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the design and manufacturing process;
•labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of “off-label” uses of cleared or approved products, as well as other requirements related to promotional activities;
•clearance or approval of product modifications to cleared or approved devices, where warranted;
•medical device reporting regulations, which require that a manufacturer report to the FDA if a device it markets may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or has malfunctioned and the device or a similar device that it markets would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, if the malfunction were to recur;
•correction, removal and recall reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDC Act that may present a risk to health;
•the FDA’s recall authority, whereby the agency can order device manufacturers to recall from the market a product that is in violation of governing laws and regulations;
•post-market surveillance activities and regulations, which apply when deemed by the FDA to be necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device; and
•any post-market restrictions or conditions imposed by the FDA on a specific device.
Our manufacturing facilities, as well as those of certain of our suppliers, will be subject to periodic and for-cause inspections by the FDA to verify compliance with the QMSR and other regulatory requirements. The QMSR, which covers the methods and the facilities and controls for the design, manufacture, testing, production, processes, controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, distribution, installation and servicing of finished devices intended for human use. The QMSR also requires, among other things, maintenance of a medical device master file and complaint files. These requirements impose procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our third-
21
Table of Contents
party manufacturers related to the methods used in and the facilities and controls used for designing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling and storing medical devices. As a manufacturer, we are subject to periodic inspections by the FDA. Following these inspections, the FDA may assert noncompliance with QMSR requirements on a Form 483, which is a report of observations from an inspection, or by way of “untitled letters” or “warning letters” that could cause us or any third-party manufacturers to modify certain activities. A Form 483 notice, if issued at the conclusion of an FDA inspection, can list conditions the FDA investigators believe may have violated QMSR or other FDA requirements. Our failure to maintain compliance with the QMSR requirements could result in the shut-down of, or restrictions on, our manufacturing operations and the recall or seizure of our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. The discovery of previously unknown problems with any of our products could result in restrictions, including the removal of the device from the market or voluntary or mandatory device recalls.
The FDA has broad regulatory compliance and enforcement powers. If the FDA determines that we failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it can take a variety of compliance or enforcement actions, which may result in sanctions including (but not limited to) Warning Letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties, customer notifications or repair, replacement, refunds, recall, detention or seizure of our products, operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production, refusal to grant export approval, or criminal prosecution.
The FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities closely regulate the post-approval marketing and promotion of medical devices, including standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, communications about unapproved uses, industry- sponsored scientific and educational activities and promotional activities involving the internet. Devices may be marketed only for the approved or cleared indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved or cleared label.
HIPAA and Other Privacy Laws
We are subject to various laws governing the privacy and security of health information and other personally identifiable information. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations, or HIPAA, established comprehensive U.S. federal protection for the privacy and security of protected health information. HIPAA applies to “Covered Entities,” which are health plans, healthcare clearing houses, and certain healthcare providers which conduct certain healthcare transactions electronically, and to “Business Associates,” persons or entities that perform a function or provide specified services on behalf of a Covered Entity that involves the creation, use, maintenance or transmission of protected health information. Both Covered Entities and Business Associates must have in place administrative, physical, and technical standards to guard against the misuse of protected health information. Some of the institutions and physicians from which we obtain biological specimens that we use in our research and validation work are Covered Entities and must obtain proper authorization from their patients for the subsequent use of those samples and associated clinical information. We may perform future activities that may implicate HIPAA, such as providing clinical laboratory testing services or entering into specific kinds of relationships with a Covered Entity or a Business Associate of a Covered Entity. There are also additional federal and state privacy laws that impose restrictions on the access, use, and disclosure of personal information, including data that is not protected health information, or are otherwise more stringent than HIPAA.
Our activities must also comply with other applicable privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, or EU GDPR, and the UK General Data Protection Regulation, or UK GDPR, or collectively, EU/UK GDPR. There are also privacy laws in other jurisdictions that impose restrictions on the access, use, and disclosure of personal information. All of these laws may impact our business. If we fail to comply with these privacy laws, or if significant changes in the laws restrict our ability to obtain tissue samples and associated patient information, this could significantly impact our business and our future business plans.
Fraud and Abuse Laws
As participants in the healthcare industry, we are subject to anti-fraud and abuse laws in various countries. Many of these anti-fraud laws are broad in scope and impose significant penalties for violation. Prohibitions under some of these laws include:
•the submission of false claims or false information to government programs;
•deceptive or fraudulent conduct;
22
Table of Contents
•excessive or unnecessary services, services that do not meet medical necessity, or services at excessive prices; and
•defrauding private sector health insurers.
Numerous national and state agencies enforce the anti-fraud and abuse laws. In addition, actions under the False Claims Act can be brought by private whistleblowers on behalf of themselves and the government and are entitled to receive a portion of any final recovery. In addition, we, and our partners, may be subject to foreign laws and regulations and other compliance requirements, including, without limitation, anti-kickback laws, false claims laws and other fraud and abuse laws.
In particular, if our products become eligible for reimbursement by federal healthcare programs (directly or indirectly) in the United States, our business activities could be subject to scrutiny and enforcement under one or more U.S. federal or state healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations, including:
•The federal Anti-Kickback Law, which prohibits, among other things, knowingly or willingly offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, for the referral of an individual for the furnishing of an item or service, or to induce or reward the purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for or recommending the purchase, lease or order of any healthcare items or service for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, by federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
•The federal civil False Claims Act, which prohibits, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment of government funds or knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used, a false record or statement material to an obligation to pay money to the government or knowingly concealing or knowingly and improperly avoiding, decreasing or concealing an obligation to pay money to the federal government.
•The fraud provisions of HIPAA, which impose criminal liability for knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payors, and prohibit knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation, or making or using any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false fictitious or fraudulent statement or entry, in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services.
•Analogous state and local laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, which may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third-party payors, including private insurers; state and foreign laws that require medical technology companies to comply with the device industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers; and state laws and local ordinances that require identification or licensing of sales representatives.
If we or our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, additional reporting and government oversight, or the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. To reduce the risks associated with these various laws and governmental regulations, we have implemented a compliance program. Although compliance programs can mitigate the risk of investigation and prosecution for violations of these laws, the risks cannot be entirely eliminated. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business. Moreover, achieving and sustaining compliance with applicable global privacy, security and fraud laws may prove costly.
Transparency Laws
We are subject to transparency requirements (also known as “sunshine laws”) in France, including obligations to report payments or transfers of value to, and the nature of the agreements we sign with, a broad class of French healthcare professionals and organizations. If our products that are approved in the United States become eligible for direct or indirect reimbursement by federal healthcare programs like Medicare or Medicaid, we will also become subject to the Physician Payment Sunshine Act and its amendments and implementing regulations, which require annual reporting of payments and transfers of value to physicians, certain advance practice professionals,

and teaching hospitals, along with ownership interests held by physicians or their immediate family. Various states have also implemented regulations prohibiting certain financial interactions with healthcare professionals or mandating public disclosure of such financial interactions. We may incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations now or in the future.
Coverage and Reimbursement
Significant uncertainty exists regarding the coverage and reimbursement status of products approved or cleared by the FDA and, in foreign countries, other government authorities.
In the United States, sales of any products for which we may receive regulatory approval or clearance for commercial sale will depend in significant part on the availability and adequacy of coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors. Third-party payors include federal and state government authorities, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Decisions regarding the extent of coverage and amount of reimbursement to be provided are made on a plan-by-plan basis. One third-party payor’s decision to cover a product does not ensure that other payors will also provide coverage for the product. The process for determining whether a payor will provide coverage for a product may be separate from the process for setting the reimbursement rate that the payor will pay for the product. Third-party payors may limit coverage to specific products on an approved list which might not include all of the FDA approved or cleared products for a particular indication. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a product does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Adequate third-party reimbursement may not be available to enable us to maintain price levels sufficient to realize an appropriate return on our investment in product development.
In the EU, pricing and reimbursement schemes vary widely from country to country. Some countries may require the completion of additional studies that compare the cost-effectiveness of a particular product candidate to currently available therapies (so-called health technology assessments) in order to obtain reimbursement. The Health Technology Assessment, or HTA, which is currently governed by the national laws of the individual EU Member States, is the procedure according to which the assessment of the public health impact, therapeutic, impact and the economic and societal impact related to the use of a health technology. The outcome of the HTA will often influence the pricing and reimbursement status granted to the product under review by the competent authorities of individual EU Member States. On January 31, 2018, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a regulation on HTA, or HTA Regulation. The HTA Regulation aims to boost cooperation among EU Member States in assessing health technologies and providing the basis for cooperation at EU level for joint clinical assessments in these areas. The HTA Regulation entered into force on January 11, 2022, and started to apply from January 12, 2025, with phased implementation. Under the HTA Regulation, EU Member States are required to use common HTA tools, methodologies, and procedures across the EU. Among other things, the HTA Regulation establishes an HTA coordination group, composed of national HTA bodies, which jointly conduct Joint Clinical Assessments, or JCAs, of new medicines and certain high-risk medical devices (Class III implantable devices and Class III active devices that administer or remove medicinal products) and introduces a single EU-level submission file for JCAs. However, the HTA Regulation focuses on the clinical aspects of HTA, i.e. the relative clinical effectiveness and relative clinical safety of a new health technology as compared with existing technologies, and, as such, individual EU Member States remain responsible for determining the overall value of a new health technology within their healthcare systems, as well as making pricing and reimbursement decisions.
Third-party payors are increasingly challenging the prices charged for, examining the medical necessity of, and assessing the cost-effectiveness of medical products and services, in addition to their safety and efficacy. If third-party payors do not consider a product to be cost-effective compared to other available products, they may not cover the product after approval as a benefit under their plans or, if they do, the level of payment may not be sufficient to allow a company to sell its products at a profit. A decision by a third-party payor not to cover a product could reduce physician ordering and patient demand for the product.
The marketability of any products for which we receive market authorization for commercial sale may suffer if the government and third-party payors fail to provide adequate coverage and reimbursement. Coverage policies and third-party reimbursement rates may change at any time. Even if favorable coverage and reimbursement status are attained for one or more products for which we receive regulatory approval, less favorable coverage policies and reimbursement rates may be implemented in the future.
Health Reform
In the United States and some foreign jurisdictions, there has been significant interest in implementing cost-containment programs to limit the growth of government-paid healthcare costs, including price controls and

restrictions on reimbursement. Because private payers often follow Medicare and Medicaid coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement rates, any reduction in reimbursement that results from federal legislation or regulation may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payers. We expect to experience pricing pressures in connection with the sale of our products due to the trend toward managed healthcare, the increasing influence of health maintenance organizations, and additional legislative and regulatory measures.
Such legislative changes in the United States include the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain the growth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against healthcare fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for healthcare and health insurance industries, and impose additional health policy reforms.
More recently, on July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” or OBBBA, was signed into law. The OBBBA is projected to decrease federal healthcare spending by approximately $1 trillion by reducing Medicaid spending and enrollment and making changes to federal Medicare spending. The law also made changes to ACA marketplace enrollment that are projected to decrease the number of individuals with marketplace coverage. It is unclear if these changes will impact demand for our products.
We expect that additional federal, state, and foreign healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal, state, and foreign governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in limited coverage and reimbursement and reduced demand for our products, once approved, or additional pricing pressures.
International Medical Device Regulations
International marketing of medical devices is subject to foreign government regulations, which vary substantially from country to country.
In the EU, the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745, or EU MDR, applicable since May 26, 2021, establishes comprehensive requirements for the safety, performance, and market access of medical devices in the EU. This legislation applies to all countries within the European Economic Area, or the EEA, including EU Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. On December 16, 2025, the European Commission published a legislative proposal to amend the EU MDR. Adoption of the proposed amendments to the MDR could occur in 2027. However, the timing remains subject to negotiation and approval by the European Parliament and the Council.
Medical devices must comply with the General Safety and Performance Requirements, or the GSPR, laid down in Annex I to the EU MDR. Compliance with these requirements is a prerequisite to be able to affix the CE mark on products, without which they cannot be marketed or sold in the EEA. To demonstrate compliance with the GSPR of the EU MDR and obtain the right to affix the CE mark, our medical devices must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of medical device and its classification. Apart from low risk medical devices (Class I with no measuring function, which are not sterile and are not reusable surgical instruments), in relation to which the manufacturer may issue an EC Declaration of Conformity based on a self-assessment of the conformity of its products with the GSPR, a conformity assessment procedure requires the intervention of a Notified Body, which is an organization designated by a Competent Authority of an EU Member State to conduct conformity assessments. Depending on the relevant conformity assessment procedure, the Notified Body would audit and examine the technical documentation and the quality system for the manufacturer, design and final inspection of the medical devices. The Notified Body issues a CE Certificate of Conformity following successful completion of a conformity assessment procedure conducted in relation to the medical device and its manufacturer and their conformity with the GSPR. This Certificate and the related conformity assessment process allows the manufacturer to affix the CE mark to the medical devices after having prepared and signed a related EC Declaration of Conformity. Breast implants intended for aesthetic purposes are specifically regulated under Annex XVI to the EU MDR. They must meet the same stringent safety, performance, and clinical evaluation requirements as medical devices, including conformity assessment by a Notified Body.
On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom withdrew from the EU. Since January 1, 2021, the Medical Devices (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 have introduced several changes to the process of placing medical devices on the Great Britain market. The CE mark will continue to be recognized in Great Britain until June 30, 2030, depending on the device type and classification. Additionally, CE Certificates of Conformity issued by Notified Bodies designated in the EU will remain valid in Great Britain during this period.

Following the end of mutual recognition between the EU and Switzerland on May 26, 2021, CE-marked medical devices can still be legally placed on the Swiss market. However, medical devices manufacturers must now appoint a Swiss Authorized Representative (CH-REP) and comply with additional requirements, including Swissmedic registration, to continue to place medical devices on the Swiss market.
Outside of the EU, the UK and Switzerland, regulatory pathways for the marketing of medical devices vary greatly from country to country. In many countries, local regulatory agencies conduct an independent review of medical devices prior to granting marketing approval. For example, in China, approval by the National Medical Products Administration, or NMPA, must be obtained prior to marketing a medical device. In Brazil, the inspections and approvals of products and facilities carried out by the ANVISA and InMetro agencies are required prior to marketing a Class 3a medical device like our Motiva Implants. We received regulatory clearance in Brazil in March 2017 and launched our Motiva Implants commercially in July 2017. In November 2022, Motiva Implants and the Motiva Flora tissue expander have been approved for use in Japan by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). These products have also received reimbursement for post-mastectomy reconstruction under the Japanese National Health System. In November 2023, Motiva Implants received National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approval in China. The process in such countries may be lengthy and require the expenditure of significant resources, including the conduct of clinical trials. In other countries, the regulatory pathway may be shorter or less costly. The timeline for the introduction of new medical devices is heavily impacted by these various regulations on a country-by-country basis, which may become longer and more costly over time.
Anti-Corruption Laws
We are subject to applicable anti-corruption laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act, and similar anti-corruption laws in the countries in which we distribute our products. Anti-corruption laws generally prohibit offering, promising, giving, or authorizing others to provide anything of value, either directly or indirectly, to a government official or private party in order to influence official action or otherwise gain an unfair business advantage, such as to obtain or retain business. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the FCPA, prohibits any U.S. individual or U.S.-controlled business from paying, offering or authorizing payment or offering of anything of value, directly or indirectly, to any foreign official, political party or candidate for the purpose of influencing any act or decision of the foreign entity in order to assist the individual or business in obtaining or retaining business. The FCPA also obligates companies whose securities are listed in the United States to comply with accounting provisions requiring us to maintain books and records that accurately and fairly reflect all transactions of the corporation, including international subsidiaries, and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls for international operations. We have implemented policies, procedures, and internal controls that are designed to comply with these laws and regulations.
Human Capital
As of December 31, 2025, we had 1,004 employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or covered by collective bargaining agreements except for certain employees in Brazil and Argentina.
The human capital measures and objectives we focus on in managing our business include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing and integrating our existing and new employees, advisors and consultants. The principal purposes of our equity and cash incentive plans are to attract, retain and reward personnel through the granting of share-based and cash-based compensation awards, in order to increase shareholder value and the success of our company by motivating such individuals to perform to the best of their abilities and achieve our objectives.
We believe that our future success largely depends upon our continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified management and technical personnel. Talent management is critical to our ability to execute on our long-term growth strategy. To facilitate talent attraction and retention, we strive to make our company a safe and rewarding workplace with opportunities for our employees to grow and develop in their careers, supported by strong compensation and benefits and by programs that build connections among our employees. We continue to be committed to an inclusive culture which values equity, opportunity, and respect. In support of our inclusive culture, we offer competitive compensation and benefits, including stock awards and strive to recruit a robust talent pool across all levels of the organization.

Environment and Corporate Sustainability
Our manufacturing processes currently require the controlled use of potentially harmful chemicals, including highly flammable solvents, and we are subject to inspections and other regulatory requirements, including Costa Rican regulations regarding environmental protection and hazardous and controlled substance controls, among others. Environmental laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. We have incurred, and may continue to incur, significant expenditures to ensure we are in compliance with these laws and regulations. We would be subject to significant penalties for failure to comply with these laws and regulations. For more information, please refer to Section 1A “Risk Factors”.
Working toward a more sustainable future by reducing our environmental footprint is important to us. Our manufacturing facilities are certified as Carbon Neutral by the Costa Rican Ministry of Environment, Energy, and Telecommunications, or MINAE.
