Contingencies
On November 8, 2023, Puritan (as defined in Note 9 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) filed a complaint captioned Puritan Partners LLC v. Carmell Regen Med Corporation et al., No. 655566/2023 (New York Supreme Court, New York County) naming the Company as defendant. In the complaint, Puritan asserts that we breached our obligations under the Convertible Notes and the Convertible Note Warrants (as each such term is defined in Note 9 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). Puritan also asserts that we did not comply with our obligation to provide Puritan with 25,000 freely tradable shares of Common Stock on a timely basis. Puritan asserts claims for declaratory judgment, breach of contract, conversion, foreclosure of its security interest, replevin, unjust enrichment, and indemnification, and seeks remedies including damages totaling $2,725,000 through November 1, 2023, additional fees and interest thereafter, costs and attorney’s fees, an order of foreclosure on its security interest, and other declaratory relief. The Company carried an accrual for interest payable of $1,175,845 as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, related to the Convertible Notes. In July 2024, the Court dismissed four of the eight claims in the complaint without prejudice. The case is currently in the discovery phase with respect to the remaining claims, which is expected to last through the fourth quarter of 2025. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against this litigation. However, there can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved in our favor, and an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
In addition to financing obligations under our debt agreements, our contractual and commercial commitments include expenditures for operating leases and royalty payments. See Note 4 and Note 11 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for information on the royalties related to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Yuva License (as defined in Note 9 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements).
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
The JOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Although we qualify as an emerging growth company, we have elected not to “opt-out” of this provision and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards at the time private companies adopt the new or revised accounting standard and will do so until such time that we either (i) irrevocably elect to “opt-out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company.
We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million, and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year, and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time that we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our
