PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Introduction

Viveon Health Acquisition Corp. (“Viveon,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware company incorporated on August 7, 2020 as a blank check company for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, with one or more target businesses.

On December 28, 2020, Viveon consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 17,500,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”), entitling the holder thereof to purchase one-half of a share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share, and one right to receive one-twentieth (1/20) of a share of Common Stock. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $175,000,000. On December 28, 2020, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, and the closing occurred on December 30, 2020 when Viveon sold 2,625,000 Over-Allotment Option Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $26,250,000.

On December 28, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated a private placement (“Private Placement”) with Viveon Health, LLC (the “Sponsor”) of 18,000,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $0.50 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $9,000,000. The Private Warrants are identical to the Warrants (as defined below) sold in the IPO except that the Private Warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the Sponsor, or its permitted transferees. Additionally, our Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Private Placement Warrants Subscription Statement) until the date we complete our initial business combination. The Sponsor was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Warrants.

A total of $203,262,500 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO and the private placement were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. None of the funds held in trust will be released from the trust account, other than interest income to pay any tax obligations, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a business combination by the Extended Date (as defined below) or the Additional Extension Date (as defined below), if applicable, (iii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend Viveon’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (a) to modify the substance or timing of the ability of holders of Viveon’s public shares to seek redemption in connection with Viveon’s initial business combination or Viveon’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if Viveon does not complete its initial business combination by March 28, 2022 or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity.

Recent Developments

Entry into Merger Agreement

On January 12, 2022, we entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among us, VHAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and Suneva Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Suneva”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between Viveon and Suneva will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Suneva, with Suneva surviving the merger as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). Our board of directors has (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related transactions by our stockholders. The total consideration to be paid at closing (the “Initial Consideration”) by us to Suneva security holders will be an amount equal to $250 Million (plus the aggregate exercise price for all Suneva options and warrants). The Initial Consideration will be payable in 25 million shares of our Common Stock, valued at $10 per share. For a more detailed description of the Merger Agreement, please see the section titled “Business Combination” on page ___.

Extension of Date to Consummation a Business Combination

On March 18, 2022, Viveon held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders to vote on a number of proposals, including, a proposal to approve an amendment to the Viveon’s amended and certificate of incorporation (the “charter”) to (i) extend the date by which Viveon has to consummate a business combination for three months, from March 28, 2022 (the “Original Termination Date”) to June 28, 2022 (the “Extended Date”), and (ii) allow Viveon, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Extended Date, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, for a total of up to nine months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of the proposed business combination with Suneva Medical, Inc. or any potential alternative initial business combination shall have occurred (the “Additional Extension Date”). The proposal was approved by the stockholders. In connection with the filing of the amendment to extend the date to consummate a business combination, Viveon deposited $720,000 in the trust account. After the Extended Date, if Viveon elects to continue to extend such date until December 28, 2022, Viveon shall make a monthly deposit of $240,000 into the trust account each month for each monthly period, or portion thereof, until December 28, 2022.

As a result of the proposal to amend the charter to extend the date, public stockholders holding 15,092,126 shares of Viveon common stock elected to redeem their shares. In connection with the redemptions, Viveon paid $152,451,819.49 from the trust account.

Funding for Extension and Working Capital

On March 21, 2022, we entered into subscription agreements with several lenders for a loan of up to $4,000,000, in the aggregate (the “Subscription Agreements”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, we issued a series of unsecured senior promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $4,000,000 (the “Notes”) to the subscribers. The subscribers for the Notes are affiliated with our sponsor, Viveon Health LLC.

The Notes do not bear interest and mature upon the earlier of (i) the closing of our initial business combination, and (ii) December 31, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). The Notes provide for a credit line up to the maximum amount of $4,000,000. We will not have the right to re-borrow any portion of any loans made under the Notes once repaid. A commitment fee in the amount of $400,000, equal to 10% of the maximum principal amount of the Note, shall be paid to the subscribers, on a pro rata basis, by us promptly following the initial funding. In the event that we do not consummate a business combination by the Maturity Date, the Notes will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of our trust account, if any.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, the subscribers shall receive warrants to purchase one share of our common stock for every $2.00 of the funded principal amount of the Notes up to 2,000,000 shares of the our common stock, in the aggregate, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Subscription Warrants”). The Subscription Warrant term commences on the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined) for a period of 49 months. The Subscription Warrants are exercisable commencing on the date of the initial business combination (the “Exercise Date”) and have a cashless exercise feature that is available at any time on or after the Exercise Date. Commencing on the date 13 months following the Exercise Date, the subscribers have the right, but not the obligation, to put the Subscription Warrants to us at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. We have agreed to file, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of an initial business combination, a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the Subscription Warrants.

On March 21, 2022, an initial amount of $2,700,000 was drawn down from the Notes. $720,000 of the loan proceeds was deposited into our trust account in connection with extending the business combination completion window from March 28, 2022 until the Extended Date. After the Extended Date, if we elect to continue to extend such date until December 28, 2022 (the “Final Extension Date”), we shall make a monthly deposit of $240,000 into the trust account each month for each monthly period, or portion thereof, until the Final Extension Date.

The entry into the Subscription Agreement and the terms of the Notes and Subscription Warrants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting held on March 21, 2022.

The foregoing description of the Note, the Warrant and the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, the Warrant and the Subscription Agreement, which are incorporated by reference into this Annual Report as Exhibit 10.15, Exhibit 10.16 and Exhibit 10.17, respectively

Amendment to Viveon’s charter

On March 23, 2022, we filed an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Amendment”) The Amendment (i) extends the date by which we have to consummate a business combination for three months, from the Original Termination Date to the Extended Date and (ii) allows us, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Extended Date, upon five days’ advance notice and the deposit of $240,000 prior to the applicable deadline, for a total of up to nine months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of the proposed business combination with Suneva Medical, Inc. or any potential alternative initial business combination shall have occurred. A copy of the Amendment, as filed is incorporated by reference into this Annual Report as Exhibit 3.2.

As a result of the Amendment, on March 23, 2022, we entered into an amendment (the “IMTA Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. The IMTA Amendment amends and restates Sections 1(i), 7(c) and 7(j) of the original Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2020, to reflect the extension of the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination. A copy of the IMTA Amendment, is incorporated by reference into this Annual Report as Exhibit 10.18.

General

We are a Delaware blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to throughout this annual report as our initial business combination. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating an initial business combination, we intend to focus on businesses that have their primary operations located in North America in the healthcare industry, and specifically in the medical technology and medical device sectors. As disclosed in our prospectus, although our management has significant experience in the orthopedic and spine marketplace, they also have extensive operating and transaction experiences in the medical technology sector as managers, investors, acquirors, and sellers and will use that experience to consider target companies in emerging growth medical technology and medical device companies that may be focused in areas outside of orthopedics and spine.

Consistent with our strategy, we have identified the following criteria to evaluate prospective target businesses. Although we may decide to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the criteria described below, it is our intention to acquire companies that we believe:

We may use other criteria as well. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based on these general criteria as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant.

We believe that emerging growth medical technology companies will realize a material benefit from being publicly-traded, including greater access to capital to support innovation and sales channel expansion, having available liquid securities which can be utilized for acquisitions, and increased market and customer awareness.

Many of these companies that are highly innovative and are experiencing high growth have few options to reach their full potential. While a traditional IPO could, in theory, provide a meaningful avenue for these companies to access capital and accelerate their growth, the relatively high risk and expense associated with a traditional initial public offering and the negative consequences of an unsuccessful public offering represent meaningful barriers to many companies in our target sector to pursuing a traditional IPO. Accordingly, we believe that the increased visibility and acceptance of going-public mergers with special purpose acquisition companies like us may enhance our ability to consummate an initial business combination.

We believe an acquisition by a special purpose acquisition company, like ours, can provide an efficient liquidity and capital-raising mechanism while materially reducing the risks and expenses associated with a traditional IPO. Furthermore, we believe our management team is well-known to, and respected by, the founders, management, and shareholders of private medical technology companies and that our leadership’s reputation will be a competitive advantage in attracting high quality targets for our business combination. Our management team and board of directors have an extensive operating and transaction experiences in the medical technology sector as manager, investors, acquirors, and sellers. We intend to leverage this experience and network to identify a target company and to deliver operational and economic benefit from a business combination.

Business Combination Agreement

On January 12, 2022, we entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among us, VHAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and Suneva Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Suneva”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between Viveon and Suneva will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Suneva, with Suneva surviving the merger as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). Our board of directors has (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related transactions by our stockholders.

The total consideration to be paid at closing (the “Initial Consideration”) by us to Suneva security holders will be an amount equal to $250 Million (plus the aggregate exercise price for all Suneva options and warrants). The Initial Consideration will be payable in 25 million shares of our Common Stock, valued at $10 per share.

Suneva Security Holder Earnout Payments

In addition to the Initial Consideration, the Suneva security holders will also have the contingent right to earn up to 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate (“Earnout Consideration”) as follows:

The aggregate shares of the Earnout Consideration (1) will be issued to the Suneva security holders at Closing in accordance with their respective pro rata shares of the Earnout Consideration (determined based on the fully diluted Suneva capital stock, including stock options, warrants and convertible notes), except that shares of the Earnout Consideration issued in respect of Suneva stock options will be retained by Viveon and not issued to the holders of Suneva stock options, and (2) will be placed in escrow at Closing.

In the case of the Suneva security holders (other than holders of Suneva stock options), the shares of the Earnout Consideration will not be released from escrow until they are earned as a result of the occurrence of the applicable Earnout Milestone. Shares of the Earnout Consideration not earned on or before the expiration of the applicable Earnout Period will be automatically forfeited and cancelled.

In the case of the holders of Suneva stock options, the shares of the Earnout Consideration will not be released from escrow until the later of the occurrence of the applicable Earnout Milestone within the applicable Earnout Period and the date on which the assumed stock options of such holder vest, but only if such holder continues to provide services to Viveon or one of its subsidiaries at such time. Shares of the Earnout Consideration that are not earned by a holder of Suneva Stock options on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date will be forfeited without any consideration. Shares forfeited by a holder of Suneva stock options will be reallocated to the other Suneva security holders who remain entitled to receive shares of Earnout Consideration in accordance with their respective pro rata shares

Sponsor Earnout Payments

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we and the Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Earnout Agreement (the “Sponsor Earnout Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) 5,142,857 of the Private Warrants and 1,437,500 shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor, and (ii) 1,028,571 Private Warrants and 287,500 shares of Common Stock that will be issued to the Sponsor at Closing (the “Sponsor Earnout Amount”), will be placed into escrow at Closing and become subject to vesting restrictions tied to achievement of the Milestone Events and will be earned upon the occurrence of the applicable Milestone Event.

The Sponsor Earnout Amount will not be released from escrow until the applicable portion of the Sponsor Earnout Amount is earned as a result of the occurrence of the applicable Earnout Milestone. The Suneva securityholders are eligible to receive additional consideration upon the occurrence of the same Earnout Milestones. Any portion of the Sponsor Earnout Amount not earned on or before the expiration of the applicable Earnout Period will be automatically forfeited and cancelled.

Treatment of Suneva Securities

The “Conversion Ratio” as defined in the Merger Agreement means an amount equal to (a)(i) the sum of (A) $250 Million, plus (B) the aggregate exercise price of outstanding Viveon in-the-money stock options and warrants, divided by (ii) the number of fully diluted Suneva capital stock (including stock options, and convertible notes); divided by (b) $10.00.

Warrants. Contingent on and effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Suneva Preferred Stock or Suneva Common Stock will be treated in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements governing such warrants and converted into shares of Suneva Preferred Stock or Suneva Common Stock and such shares will be treated as described above.

While at Boston Scientific, he was involved in the investments in, and acquisition of, the following private companies: Advanced Bionics (implantable neurostimulation), Cameron Health (implantable cardiac rhythm management), Innercool (systemic hypothermia for recovery from cardiac arrest), Orqis Medical (heart failure treatment) and Kerberos (endovascular thrombectomy). Dr. Gill completed his BSc and MSc in Anatomy from McGill University and PhD in Neuroscience from Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. We believe we will be able to capitalize on Dr. Gill’s experience and accomplishments in the orthopedic and spine markets, along with his relationships among executives in the target companies, their supply chains, and their customer networks, to successfully close a business combination.

Acquisition Strategy

We believe our management team is well positioned to identify unique opportunities within the healthcare industry, and more specifically in the medical technology and medical device industry. Our selection process will leverage our relationships within the industry particularly with leading venture capitalists and growth equity funds, executives of private and public companies, as well as leading investment banking firms, which we believe should provide us with a key competitive advantage in sourcing potential business combination targets. Furthermore, members of our board of directors will augment the selection process through their robust relationships. Given our profile and dedicated industry approach, we anticipate that target business candidates may be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, and in particular investors in other private and public companies in our networks.

Our strategy is to utilize the experience and relationships of our management and board to identify target businesses that are exhibiting rapid growth, technology and service innovation, and positive income that would benefit from the opportunity for substantial revenue and profit expansion.

We believe that target companies under this indicative will experience a substantial increase in value as a result of a public listing which brings access to the public markets to capitalize innovation, achieve added public visibility that can help expand sales channels, and provide flexibility to support additional substantial acquisitions in the highly fragmented medical technology and medical device market.

We believe an acquisition by a special purpose acquisition company, like us, can provide an efficient liquidity and capital-raising mechanism while materially reducing the risks and expenses associated with a traditional IPO. Furthermore, we believe our management team is well-known to, and respected by, the founders, management, and shareholders of private medical technology companies and that our leadership’s reputations will be a competitive advantage in attracting high quality targets for our business combination. Our management team and board of directors have extensive operating and transaction experiences in the medical technology sector as manager, investors, acquirors, and sellers. We intend to leverage this experience and network to identify a target company and to deliver operational and economic benefit from a business combination.

Investment Criteria

Consistent with our strategy, we have identified the following criteria to evaluate prospective target businesses. Although we may decide to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the criteria described below, it is our intention to acquire companies that we believe:

We may use other criteria as well. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based on these general criteria as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant.

Industry Opportunity

We believe the healthcare industry, particularly the life sciences and medical technology sectors, represents an enormous and growing target market with a large number of potential target acquisition opportunities. In 2018, total U.S. national health expenditures exceeded $3.6 trillion, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimated that total healthcare spending accounted for approximately 18% of total U.S. Gross Domestic Product.

While most of the companies in our target sector of medical technology companies are domiciled in the United States, many have also begun to expand their commercial footprint globally, which delivers an opportunity to further extend their commercial reach. The regional distribution of the global market is primarily divided into North America (44%), Asia/Pacific (23%), Western Europe (22%), and all other areas (11%), according to 2020 analysis by MarketResearch.com. Of these segments, the Asia/Pacific market is expected to grow most rapidly at more than 6% CAGR. The enhanced growth rate in the Asia/Pacific segment is attributed to the increase in healthcare facilities primarily in emerging markets as well as expansion by local medical technology companies serving the region that also have expansion plans to enter the North American and Western European markets. These regionally based medical technology companies will serve as targets for our business combination.

Effecting a Business Combination

General

We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the private placement of the private warrants, our shares, new debt, or a combination of these, as the consideration to be paid in our initial business combination. We may seek to consummate our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth (such as a company that has begun operations but is not yet at the stage of commercial manufacturing and sales), which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses, although we will not be permitted to effectuate our initial business combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.

If our initial business combination is paid for using shares or debt securities, or not all of the funds released from the trust account are used for payment of the purchase price in connection with our business combination or used for redemptions of purchases of our Common Stock, we may apply the cash released to us from the trust account that is not applied to the purchase price for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of acquired businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in consummating our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.

Since the consummation of the IPO, we have focused on identifying, doing due diligence on and speaking to management of potential target companies in a variety of markets within the medical technology sector of the healthcare industry in the United States and other developed countries. Subject to the requirement that our initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses or assets having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the trust account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into such initial business combination, we have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting one or more prospective target businesses.

We may seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination, and we may effectuate our initial business combination using the proceeds of such offering rather than using the amounts held in the trust account. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would consummate such financing only simultaneously with the consummation of our business combination. In the case of an initial business combination funded with assets other than the trust account assets, our tender offer documents or proxy materials disclosing the business combination would disclose the terms of the financing and, only if required by law or the NYSE American stock exchange, we would seek stockholder approval of such financing. There are no prohibitions on our ability to raise funds privately or through loans in connection with our initial business combination.

Sources of Target Businesses

Our process of identifying acquisition targets leverages our management team’s unique industry experiences, proven deal sourcing capabilities and broad and deep network of relationships in numerous industries, including executives and management teams, private equity groups and other institutional investors, large business enterprises, lenders, investment bankers and other investment market participants, restructuring advisers, consultants, attorneys and accountants, which we believe should provide us with a number of business combination opportunities. We expect that the collective experience, capability and network of our founders, directors and officers, combined with their individual and collective reputations in the investment community, will help to create prospective business combination opportunities.

We anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers, venture capital funds, private equity groups, leveraged buyout funds, management buyout funds and other members of the financial community. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or mailings. These sources also may introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read this annual report and know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and directors, as well as their affiliates, also may bring to our attention target business candidates that they become aware of through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions.

In addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities that would not otherwise necessarily be available to us as a result of the business relationships of our officers and directors. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction. We will engage a finder only to the extent our management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our management determines is in our best interest to pursue. Payment of finder’s fees is customarily tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid out of the funds held in the trust account. Although some of our officers and directors may enter into employment or consulting agreements with the acquired business following our initial business combination, the presence or absence of any such arrangements will not be used as a criterion in our selection process of an acquisition candidate.

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with such a company, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain (i) an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we seek to acquire that such an initial business combination is fair to our unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view and (ii) the approval of a majority of our disinterested and of our independent directors.

Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination

Subject to the requirement that our initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses or assets having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the trust account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into such initial business combination, our management will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting one or more prospective target businesses. In any case, we will only consummate an initial business combination in which we become the majority shareholder of the target (or control the target through contractual arrangements in limited circumstances for regulatory compliance purposes as discussed below) or are otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act or to the extent permitted by law we may acquire interests in a variable interest entity, in which we may have less than a majority of the voting rights in such entity, but in which we are the primary beneficiary. There is no basis for our stockholders to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any target business with which we may ultimately complete our initial business combination. To the extent we effect our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth (such as a company that has begun operations but is not yet at the stage of commercial manufacturing and sales), we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in such company or business. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we may not properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.

In evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review that will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial and other information which will be made available to us.

The time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination. We will not pay any finders or consulting fees to members of our management team, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with our initial business combination.

Fair Market Value of Target Business or Businesses

The target business or businesses or assets with which we effect our initial business combination must have a collective fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the trust account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into such initial business combination. If we acquire less than 100% of one or more target businesses in our initial business combination, the aggregate fair market value of the portion or portions we acquire must equal at least 80% of the value of the trust account (excluding taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into such initial business combination. However, we will always acquire at least a controlling interest in a target business. The fair market value of a portion of a target business or assets will likely be calculated by multiplying the fair market value of the entire business by the percentage of the target we acquire. We may seek to consummate our initial business combination with an initial target business or businesses with a collective fair market value in excess of the balance in the trust account. In order to consummate such an initial business combination, we may issue a significant amount of debt, equity or other securities to the sellers of such business and/or seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt, equity or other securities. If we issue securities in order to consummate such an initial business combination, our stockholders could end up owning a minority of the combined company’s voting securities as there is no requirement that our stockholders own a certain percentage of our company (or, depending on the structure of the initial business combination, an ultimate parent company that may be formed) after our business combination. Because we have no specific business combination under consideration, we have not entered into any such arrangement to issue our debt or equity securities and have no current intention of doing so.

The fair market value of a target business or businesses or assets will be determined by our board of directors based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential gross margins, the values of comparable businesses, earnings and cash flow, book value, enterprise value and, where appropriate, upon the advice of appraisers or other professional consultants. Investors will be relying on the business judgment of our board of directors, which will have significant discretion in choosing the standard used to establish the fair market value of a particular target business. If our board of directors is not able to independently determine that the target business or assets has a sufficient fair market value to meet the threshold criterion, we will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we seek to acquire with respect to the satisfaction of such criterion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless we consummate a business combination with an affiliated entity, we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we seek to acquire, that the price we are paying is fair to our stockholders.

Competition

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have significant experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, the requirement that we acquire a target business or businesses having a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the trust account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into the business combination, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public stockholders who exercise their redemption rights and the number of our outstanding warrants and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating our initial business combination.

Management Operating and Investment Experience

We believe that our executive officers possess the experience, skills and contacts necessary to source, evaluate, and execute an attractive business combination. See the section titled “Management” for complete information on the experience of our officers and directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs and will allocate their time to other businesses. We presently expect each of our employees to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with a target business for a business combination). The past successes of our executive officers and directors do not guarantee that we will successfully consummate an initial business combination.

As more fully discussed in “Conflicts of Interest,” if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he has pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations, he may be required to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Delaware law, prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us. Most of our officers and directors currently have certain pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations.

Emerging Growth Company Status and Other Information

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior December 31, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Employees

We currently have two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of our initial business combination.

Use of Proceeds

On December 28, 2020, we consummated our IPO of 17,500,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock of the Company, and one redeemable Warrant, entitling the holder thereof to purchase one-half of a share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share, and one right to receive one-twentieth (1/20) of a share of Common Stock. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $175,000,000. On December 28, 2020, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, and the closing occurred on December 30, 2020 when we sold 2,625,000 Over-Allotment Option Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $26,250,000.

On December 28, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we sold to our Sponsor 18,000,000 Private Warrants at a price of $0.50 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $9,000,000. The Private Warrants are identical to the Warrants (as defined below) sold in the IPO except that the Private Warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the Sponsor, or its permitted transferees. Additionally, our Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Private Placement Warrants Subscription Statement) until the date we complete our initial business combination.

A total of $203,262,500 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO and the private placement were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of our public stockholders at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. None of the funds held in trust will be released from the trust account, other than interest income to pay any tax obligations until the earlier of (i) the consummation of our initial business combination, (ii) our failure to consummate a business combination by March 28, 2022, and (iii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (a) to modify the substance or timing of the ability of holders of our public shares to seek redemption in connection with our initial business combination or our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by March 28, 2022, or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity.

As a result of the proposal to amend the charter to extend the date to consummate a business combination, stockholders holding 15,092,126 shares of Viveon common stock elected to redeem their shares. In connection with the redemptions, Viveon paid $152,451,819.49 from the trust account. Subsequent to the redemptions, 5,032,874 shares of common stock held by public stockholders remains issued and outstanding and $50,830,146.13 remains in the trust account.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 7, 2020 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating an initial business combination, we intend to focus on businesses that have their primary operations located in North America in the healthcare industry. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering in effecting our initial business combination.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial business combination:

Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in:

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On January 12, 2022, we entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) withVHAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Suneva Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Suneva”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Suneva will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Suneva, with Suneva surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The board of directors of the Company has (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related transactions by the stockholders of the Company.

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company and Suneva. We intend to effectuate our proposed initial business combination with Suneva using a combination of cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (and the concurrent private placement of shares to our sponsor, as described in “Part I, Item 1. Business” of this Annual Report), the proceeds of the sale of our shares to private investors in connection with our initial business combination and shares issued to the owners of Suneva.

For further information regarding the Merger Agreement and our proposed initial business combination with Suneva, please refer to “Part I, Item 1. Business” of this Annual Report and the Form 8-K announcing the proposed business combination, which was filed with the SEC on January 12, 2022.

On March 18, 2022, we held our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the purpose of approving: (i) a proposal to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (i) extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for three months, from March 28, 2022 (the “Original Termination Date”) to June 28, 2022 (the “Extended Date”), and (ii) allow us, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Extended Date, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, for a total of up to nine months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of the proposed business combination with Suneva or any potential alternative initial business combination shall have occurred (the “Extension Proposal”); (ii) a proposal to re-elect five current directors to our Board of Directors (the “Director Election Proposal”); and (iii) a proposal to ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered certified public accountants for fiscal year 2020 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”). Stockholders voted to approve the Extension Proposal, Director Election Proposal and Auditor Ratification Proposal.

On March 18, 2022, stockholders elected to redeem 15,092,126 shares of our Class A common stock, resulting in redemption payments out of the trust account totaling approximately $152,451,819. Subsequent to the redemptions, 5,032,874 shares of common stock remained in the trust account.

On March 21, 2022, we entered into subscription agreements with several lenders for a loan of up to $4,000,000, in the aggregate (the “Subscription Agreements”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, we issued a series of unsecured senior promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $4,000,000 (the “Notes”) to the subscribers. The subscribers for the Notes are affiliated with our sponsor, Viveon Health LLC.

The Notes do not bear interest and mature upon the earlier of (i) the closing of our initial business combination, and (ii) December 31, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). The Notes provide for a credit line up to the maximum amount of $4,000,000. We will not have the right to re-borrow any portion of any loans made under the Notes once repaid. A commitment fee in the amount of $400,000, equal to 10% of the maximum principal amount of the Note, shall be paid to the subscribers, on a pro rata basis, by us promptly following the initial funding. In the event that we do not consummate a business combination by the Maturity Date, the Notes will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of our trust account, if any.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, the subscribers shall receive warrants to purchase one share of our common stock for every $2.00 of the funded principal amount of the Notes up to 2,000,000 shares of the our common stock, in the aggregate, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Subscription Warrants”). The Subscription Warrant term commences on the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined) for a period of 49 months. The Subscription Warrants are exercisable commencing on the date of the initial business combination (the “Exercise Date”) and have a cashless exercise feature that is available at any time on or after the Exercise Date. Commencing on the date 13 months following the Exercise Date, the subscribers have the right, but not the obligation, to put the Subscription Warrants to us at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. We have agreed to file, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of an initial business combination, a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the Subscription Warrants.

On March 21, 2022, an initial amount of $2,700,000 was drawn down from the Notes. $720,000 of the loan proceeds was deposited into our trust account in connection with extending the business combination completion window from March 28, 2022 until the Extended Date. After the Extended Date, if we elect to continue to extend such date until December 28, 2022 (the “Final Extension Date”), we shall make a monthly deposit of $240,000 into the trust account each month for each monthly period, or portion thereof, until the Final Extension Date.

The entry into the Subscription Agreement and the terms of the Notes and Subscription Warrants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting held on March 21, 2022.

On March 23, 2022, we filed an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Amendment”) The Amendment (i) extends the date by which we have to consummate a business combination for three months, from the Original Termination Date to the Extended Date and (ii) allows us, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Extended Date, upon five days’ advance notice and the deposit of $240,000 prior to the applicable deadline, for a total of up to nine months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of the proposed business combination with Suneva Medical, Inc. or any potential alternative initial business combination shall have occurred. As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 18, 2022, the Amendment was approved by our stockholders at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on March 18, 2022.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

On March 15, 2022, our audit committee concluded, after consultation with management, that our previously issued financial statements for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, as filed with the SEC on December 17, 2021, and our previously issued unaudited financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021, included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports of Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on July 2, 2021, August 16, 2021 and November 17, 2021, respectively, should no longer be relied upon as a result of errors in the accounting for complex financial instruments and errors in the process of recording accounts payable and accrued expenses as described below.

We concluded that a portion of the proceeds from its initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not correctly allocated to the rights that are included as part of the units sold.

In addition, on December 23, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 81,000 of its shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares) to three directors (“the Transferees”) (27,000 Founder Shares to each Transferee) for a nominal fee. The Company did not recognize stock-based compensation associated with the transfer of the Founder Shares in its financial statements as of and for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020. On April 30, 2021 the Sponsor transferred 27,000 Founder Shares to a fourth director (the “Additional Transferee”) for a nominal fee. We did not recognize stock-based compensation associated with the transfer of the Founder Shares to the Additional Transferee in quarterly filings for June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

We have since determined that the transfer of the Founder Shares to the Transferees and Additional Transferees constitutes stock awards granted to members of the board of directors on December 23, 2020 and April 30, 2021, respectively, as compensation for each of the Transferees’ and Additional Transferee’s services as a member of the board of directors. These awards are subject to ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Founder Shares vested immediately, and, as such, in accordance with ASC 718, we must recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares transferred times the grant date fair value per share less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares.

We also determined that we were incorrectly recognizing and accruing formation and operating costs in connection with our administrative support agreement with the Sponsor, resulting in an overstatement of formation and operating costs and accrued costs and other expenses in quarterly filings for March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021.

We also determined that we inappropriately recognized a payment made on behalf of a related entity as an expense in our quarterly filing for September 30, 2021. The payment should have been recorded as an amount due from a related party.

We also failed to recognize and accrue legal and consulting expenses in connection with the Business Combination, resulting in an understatement of formation and operating costs and accrued costs and other expenses in our quarterly filings for March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, and, after our initial public offering, identifying target companies for a business combination, conducting due diligence on such target companies and negotiating the Business Combination Agreement with Suneva, which will give effect to our initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had net income of $2,489,829, which consisted of a change in fair value of warrant liability of $6,575,140, interest income on investments held in Trust Account of $20,329 and interest income on the operating bank account of $147, partially offset by formation and operating costs of $1,050,016, professional fees of $2,701,431, franchise tax expense of $197,200, and stock compensation expense of $157,140. The gains on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities was due in large part to the decrease in the public traded price of the public warrants.

For the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we had net loss of $2,238,593, which consisted of a change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,132,164, a loss of $631,197 related to receiving less proceeds than the fair value of the private warrants, stock compensation expense of $424,440, formation and operating costs of $26,032, and warrant transaction costs of $24,973, partially offset by interest income on investments held in Trust Account of $160 and interest income on the operating bank account of $53.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $2,082,334, which was due to the change in fair value of warrant liability of $6,575,140 and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account of $20,329, offset in part by net income of $2,489,829, changes in working capital of $1,866,166, and stock compensation expense of $157,140.

For the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 net cash provided by operating activities was $642,304, which was due to the change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,132,164, changes in working capital of $668,283, loss of $631,197 related to receiving less proceeds than the fair value of the private warrants, stock compensation expense of $424,440 and warrant transaction costs of $24,973, offset in part by net loss of $2,238,593, and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account of $160.

For the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 net cash used in investing activities was $203,262,500 was the result of the amount of net proceeds from the initial public offering and the private placement sale of shares being deposited to the Trust Account.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in financing activities was $619,387, which was due to payment of other payable – related party of $364,880, payment of the promissory note – related party of $228,758 and offering costs paid of $25,749.

For the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 net cash provided by financing activities was $205,717,152, which was due to the proceeds from the sale of the units, net of underwriting fees, of $197,225,000, proceeds from the issuance of private warrants of $9,000,000, proceeds from the promissory note – related party of $228,758, and proceeds from the sale of common stock to initial stockholders of $25,000, partially offset by offering costs paid of $761,606.

As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities in the trust account of $203,282,989 (including approximately $20,329 of interest income). We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial business combination with Suneva. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. During the period ended December 31, 2021, we did not withdraw any of interest income from the Trust Account to pay for franchise and income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $395,235 outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $1,774,334.

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. We plan to address this uncertainty through the Merger as discussed above. There is no assurance that our plans to consummate the Merger will be successful or successful within the combination period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of our sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on December 22, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,043,750. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

In addition, subject to certain conditions, we granted Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, for a period of 12 months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, a right of first refusal to act as book-running managing underwriter or placement agent, with at least 30% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity, convertible and debt offerings. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(E)(i), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the effective date of the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 20,125,000 public shares sold as part of the units in our initial public offering and subsequent full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such redeemable common stock in connection with our liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with our initial business combination and in connection with certain amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all redeemable common stock have been classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) initial public offering, (ii) exercise of over-allotment and (iii) Private Placement since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 19,062,500 shares of common stock in the aggregate.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company has determined the private warrants are a derivative instrument. As the private warrants meet the definition of a derivative the private warrants are measured at fair value at issuance and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of change. In accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, the Company has concluded that a portion of the transaction costs which directly related to the initial public offering and the private placement, should be allocated to the private warrants based on their relative fair value against total proceeds, and recognized as transaction costs in the statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. For smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021 using the full retrospective method of transition. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company restated its audited financial statement as December 31, 2020 and unaudited financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 to reclassify the Company’s redeemable common stock. In connection with the restatements, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal controls related to accounting for complex financial instruments. Subsequent to the aforementioned restatements, the Company determined that it had inappropriately accounted for the allocation of proceeds received in its initial public offering and did not appropriately recognize stock-based compensation related to the transfer of shares of common stock to members of the Company’s board of directors. This resulted in the restatement of the Company’s audited financial statement as of December 31, 2020 and unaudited financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 (see Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements). The control deficiencies related to the allocation of proceeds and stock-based compensation represent a continuation of the previously identified material weakness related to accounting for complex financial instruments.

In addition, management concluded that a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting existed relating to the process of recording accounts payable and accrued expenses and that the failure to properly account for such accrued expenses constituted a material weakness as defined in the SEC regulations. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021. As such, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of December 31, 2021.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management concluded that a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting existed relating to the accounting for complex financial instruments and that the failure to properly account for such instruments constituted a material weakness as defined in the SEC regulations. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and unaudited financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021. In addition, management concluded that a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting existed relating to the process of recording accounts payable and accrued expenses and that the failure to properly account for such accrued expenses constituted a material weakness as defined in the SEC regulations. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15- d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2021. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, due to the material weaknesses described elsewhere in this Report.

Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management has concluded that our audited financial statements included in this Report are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented therein.

This Report does not include an attestation report of internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the restatement of our financial statements as described above, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. In addition, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and record potential accruals. Our plans at this time include increased communication with third-party service providers and additional procedures to identify and review subsequent invoices and disbursements. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

PART III

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following table sets forth information about our directors and executive officers as of the date of this Annual Report.

Below is a summary of the business experience of each our executive officers and directors:

Jagi Gill, PhD is our Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Gill has more than 20 years of healthcare investment and general management experience. From 2017 to 2020, he served as the Vice-President of Business Development and General Manager of AcuVentures, a business unit within Acumed LLC, a Berkshire Hathaway Company. Acumed LLC is a market leader in the orthopedic sector with particular strength in the upper extremity fracture repair and trauma market segments. As the General Manager, Dr. Gill led two business units, Rib Fixation and the Soft Tissue Repair, with responsibilities for product development, sales, marketing and profitability. Under his leadership, the business units grew 2-3x faster than their market segment. In addition to general management responsibilities, Dr. Gill was involved in sourcing, closing and integrating four acquisitions within the orthopedic sector for Acumed. These transactions ranged from technology acquisitions serving as tuck-in product integrations to stand alone companies with global revenue. From 2009 to 2017, he was the Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of Tenex Health a privately held orthopedic sports medicine company. In this capacity he patented, designed and developed the initial platform technology intended to treat chronic tendon pain. Under his leadership, Tenex Health launched commercially, generated positive operating income, secured FDA regulatory approval, developed a manufacturing and operations infrastructure, and established sales channels serving the outpatient Ambulatory Surgery Centers. Before founding Tenex Health, Dr. Gill was the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of OrthoCor, a company providing non-invasive pain management technology, from 2007 to 2009, while also serving on an advisory and consulting capacity to a number of medical technology companies. OrthoCor developed and commercialized orthopedic knee braces integrating pulsed electromagnetic technology to address chronic pain associated with trauma or osteoarthritis. Prior to this, he served in executive business development roles for Boston Scientific Corporation from 2001 to 2007 where he was involved in sourcing and supporting the acquisition of private companies which collectively accounted for more than $750 million in enterprise value. While at Boston Scientific, he was involved in the investments in, and acquisition of, the following private companies: Advanced Bionics (implantable neurostimulation), Cameron Health (implantable cardiac rhythm management), Innercool (systemic hypothermia for recovery from cardiac arrest), Orqis Medical (heart failure treatment) and Kerberos (endovascular thrombectomy). Dr. Gill completed his BSc and MSc in Anatomy from McGill University and PhD in Neuroscience from Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. We believe we will be able to capitalize on Dr. Gill’s experience and accomplishments in the orthopedic and spine markets, along with his relationships among executives in the target companies, their supply chains, and their customer networks, to successfully close a business combination.

Rom Papadopoulos, M.D. is our Chief Financial Officer. Dr. Papadopoulos has more than 25 years of healthcare investment and operational experience.

At Intuitus, he led investments in more than 30 companies with a total of more than $700 million in enterprise value.

Dr. Papadopoulos was an early investor in Tenex Health Inc., a medical device company engaged in the manufacturing and sale of minimally invasive high frequency technology used to perform percutaneous tenotomy and fasciotomy.

Dr. Papadopoulos received his medical degree (M.D.) from the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, Greece, Medical School in 1985 and conducted his post-graduate training in Pediatrics at Emory University in 1986. We believe that Dr. Papadopoulos is qualified to sit on our board due to his years of experience in the healthcare industry, as a clinician as well as an investor who possesses unique insight into medical technology assets, in addition to his strong financial credentials.

Our directors and officers have played a key role in identifying, evaluating, and selecting target businesses, and structuring, negotiating and consummating our initial Business Consummation. Except as described below and under “Conflicts of Interest,” none of these individuals is currently a principal of or affiliated with a public company or blank check company that executed a business plan similar to our business plan. We believe that the skills and experience of these individuals, their collective access to acquisition opportunities and ideas, their contacts, and their transaction expertise should enable them to identify successfully and effect an acquisition transaction, although we cannot assure you that they will, in fact, be able to do so.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among the officers and directors, nor are there any arrangements or understanding between any of the Directors or Officers of our Company or any other person pursuant to which any Officer or Director was or is to be selected as an officer or director.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

During the last ten years, none of our officers, directors, promoters or control persons have been involved in any legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

Board Meetings; Committee Meetings; and Annual Meeting Attendance

In 2021, the Board of Directors held two board meetings and acted one time by unanimous written consent on various matters.

Officer and Director Qualifications

Our officers and board of directors are composed of a diverse group of leaders with a wide array of professional roles. In these roles, they have gained experience in core management skills, such as strategic and financial planning, financial reporting, compliance, risk management, and leadership development. Many of our officers and directors also have experience serving on boards of directors and board committees of other companies, and have an understanding of corporate governance practices and trends, which provides an understanding of different business processes, challenges, and strategies. Further, our officers and directors also have other experience that makes them valuable, managing and investing assets or facilitating the consummation of business combinations.

We, along with our officers and directors, believe that the above-mentioned attributes, along with the leadership skills and other experiences of our officers and board members described below, provide us with a diverse range of perspectives and judgment necessary to facilitate our goals of consummating an acquisition transaction.

Board Committees

The Board has a standing audit, nominating and compensation committee. The independent directors oversee director nominations. Each audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee has a charter, which were filed with the SEC as exhibits to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 in connection with our IPO on December 21, 2020.

Departure and Appointment of Directors

On April 20, 2021, Dr. Lishan Aklog, who served as an independent director on the Company’s Board and Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee, and as a member of the Company’s Nominating Committee and Compensation Committee resigned as a member of the Board. Dr. Aklog’s resignation was to pursue other personal endeavors, and not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

On April 30, 2021, Demetrios (Jim) G. Logothetis was appointed to fill the vacancy on the Board due to Mr. Aklog’s resignation. Mr. Logothetis is “independent” under NYSE American listing standards and other governing laws and applicable regulations, including Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which is established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, engages Company’s independent accountants, reviewing their independence and performance; reviews the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the integrity of its financial statements; the audits of the Company’s financial statements and the appointment, compensation, qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors; the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and internal control over financial reporting. During 2021, the Audit Committee held four meetings.

The Audit Committee consists of Demetrios (Jim) G. Logothetis, Brian Cole and Doug Craft, each of whom is an independent director under NYSE American’s listing standards. Mr. Logothetis serves as the Chairperson of the Audit Committee and at the time of his appointment as an independent director, the Board has determined that Mr. Logothetis qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our Board. Specifically, the Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding the size and composition of the Board, establishes procedures for the director nomination process and screens and recommends candidates for election to the Board. On an annual basis, the Nominating Committee recommends for approval by the Board certain desired qualifications and characteristics for board membership. Additionally, the Nominating Committee establishes and administers a periodic assessment procedure relating to the performance of the Board as a whole and its individual members. The Nominating Committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the Board. The Nominating Committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The Nominating Committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons. During 2021, the Nominating Committee acted by unanimous written consent on one occasion.

The Nominating Committee consists of Demetrios (Jim) G. Logothetis, Brian Cole and Doug Craft, each of whom is an independent director under NYSE American’s listing standards.Dr. Cole is the Chairperson of the Nominating Committee.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee reviews annually the Company’s corporate goals and objectives relevant to the officers’ compensation, evaluates the officers’ performance in light of such goals and objectives, determines and approves the officers’ compensation level based on this evaluation; makes recommendations to the Board regarding approval, disapproval, modification, or termination of existing or proposed employee benefit plans, makes recommendations to the Board with respect to non-CEO and non-CFO compensation and administers the Company’s incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans. The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The chief executive officer of the Company may not be present during voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee with respect to his compensation. The Company’s executive officers do not play a role in suggesting their own salaries. Neither the Company nor the Compensation Committee has engaged any compensation consultant who has a role in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive or director compensation. During 2021, the Compensation Committee did not hold any meetings.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our executive officers existing stockholders, our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

The Compensation Committee consists of Demetrios (Jim) G. Logothetis, Brian Cole and Doug Craft, each of whom is an independent director under NYSE American’s listing standards. Mr. Craft is the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee.

Conflicts of Interest

Investors should be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest:

In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

In addition, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, the director is required to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account, without limitation the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the position of the director and the nature of the responsibilities undertaken by him. A director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience.

As set out above, directors have a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. A director shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company, disclose the interest to the board of the company. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the stockholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of stockholder approval at a meeting of stockholders.

Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise when our board evaluates a particular business opportunity with respect to the above-listed criteria. We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor. Furthermore, most of our officers and directors have pre-existing fiduciary obligations to other businesses of which they are officers or directors. To the extent they identify business opportunities which may be suitable for the entities to which they owe pre-existing fiduciary obligations, our officers and directors will honor those fiduciary obligations. Accordingly, it is possible they may not present opportunities to us that otherwise may be attractive to us unless the entities to which they owe pre-existing fiduciary obligations and any successors to such entities have declined to accept such opportunities.

In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, each of our officers and directors has contractually agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, until the earliest of a business combination, our liquidation or such time as he ceases to be an officer or director, to present to our company for our consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable business opportunity which may reasonably be required to be presented to us, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations he might have.

The following table summarizes the current pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors.

In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of our existing stockholders, including all of our officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective insider shares in favor of any proposed business combination. In addition, they have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the insider shares acquired by them prior to the IPO. If they purchased shares of Common Stock in the IPO or in the open market, however, they would be entitled to participate in any liquidation distribution in respect of such shares but have agreed not to redeem such shares (or sell their shares in any tender offer) in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination or an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to pre-business combination activity.

All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Any such related party transactions, as defined under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, will require prior approval by our audit committee and a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors, or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our audit committee and a majority of our disinterested “independent” directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

With respect to possible initial business combinations that may be entered into between us and an entity that is affiliated with any of our officers, directors or initial stockholders, to further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate such an affiliated initial business combination unless we have obtained (i) an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we seek to acquire that such an initial business combination is fair to our unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view and (ii) the approval of a majority of our disinterested and of our independent directors. Furthermore, in no event will any of our initial stockholders, officers, directors, special advisors or their respective affiliates be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other similar compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination.

Code of Ethics

We adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, officers and stockholders who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of equity securities of the Company registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons,” to file initial statements of beneficial ownership of securities and statements of changes in beneficial ownership of securities with respect to the Company’s equity securities with the SEC. All Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all reports that such Reporting Persons file with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports and upon written representations of the Reporting Persons received by us, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Employment Agreements

We have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers and have not made any agreements to provide benefits upon termination of employment.

Executive Officers and Director Compensation

No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. No compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, including our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. However, such individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors and audit committee, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth as of the date of this Annual Report, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by (i) each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) each of our officers and directors; and (iii) all of our officers and directors as a group. As of the date of this Annual Report, as a result of the redemptions by public stockholders in connection with the Amendment, we have 10,064,124 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record of beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, as the warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Annual Report.

All of the insider shares issued and outstanding prior to the IPO were placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until (1) with respect to 50% of the insider shares, the earlier of six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of our shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the insider shares, six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

During the escrow period, the holders of these shares will not be able to sell or transfer their securities except (1) to any persons (including their affiliates and stockholders) participating in the private placement of the private warrants, officers, directors, stockholders, employees and members of the Company’s sponsor and its affiliates, (2) amongst initial stockholders or their respective affiliates, or to the Company’s officers, directors, advisors and employees, (3) if a holder is an entity, as a distribution to its, partners, stockholders or members upon its liquidation, (4) by bona fide gift to a member of the holder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a holder or a member of a holder’s immediate family, for estate planning purposes, (5) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (6) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (7) by certain pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection with purchases of the Company’s securities, or (8) by private sales at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally purchased, in each case where the transferee agrees to the terms of the escrow agreement and the insider letter.

Our initial stockholders, officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would be repaid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

In August 2020, our sponsor purchased 3,593,750 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.007 per share. We subsequently declared a share dividend of 0.36 for each outstanding share, resulting in 4,887,500 shares outstanding, and on December 22, 2020 declared another share dividend of 0.03 for each outstanding share, resulting in 5,031,250 shares outstanding, which shares are referred to herein as “founder shares” or “insider shares.” Prior to the initial investment in the company of $25,000 by our sponsor, we had no assets, tangible or intangible.

On December 23, 2020, our Sponsor transferred 81,000 of its founder shares to three board members 27,000 Founder Shares to each board member, for a nominal fee. On April 30, 2021, our Sponsor subsequently transferred 27,000 of its founder shares to a new board member.

On December 28, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we sold to our Sponsor 18,000,000 Private Warrants at a price of $0.50 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $9,000,000. The Private Warrants are identical to the Warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the Sponsor, or its permitted transferees. Additionally, our Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Private Placement Warrants Subscription Statement) until the date we complete our initial business combination. The Sponsor was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Warrants.

The holders of our insider shares issued and outstanding on the date of this annual report, as well as the holders of the Private Warrants (and all underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration rights agreement, dated December 22, 2020. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the insider shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of Common Stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the private warrants can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

In order to meet our working capital needs following the consummation of our IPO, our initial stockholders, officers and directors and their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would be repaid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest.

On March 21, 2022, we entered into the Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which we issued Notes for up to $4,000,000 to the subscribers. The subscribers for the Notes are affiliated with our Sponsor. Up to $400,000 of the principal amount of the Notes was funded by Mr, Papadopoulos, our Chief Financial Officer. The entry into the Subscription Agreements and the terms of the Notes and Warrants was approved by the Audit Committee at a meeting held on March 21, 2022.

We reimburse our officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us; provided, however, that to the extent such expenses exceed the available proceeds not deposited in the trust account and the interest income earned on the amounts held in the trust account, such expenses would not be reimbursed by us unless we consummate an initial business combination. Our audit committee reviews and approves all reimbursements and payments made to any initial stockholder or member of our management team, or our or their respective affiliates, and any reimbursements and payments made to members of our audit committee are reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval.

No compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s fees, consulting fees or other similar compensation, will be paid to any of our initial stockholders, officers or directors who owned our shares of Common Stock, or to any of their respective affiliates, prior to or with respect to the business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is).

All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions, including the payment of any compensation, will require prior approval by a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors (to the extent we have any) or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our disinterested “independent” directors (or, if there are no “independent” directors, our disinterested directors) determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

Related Party Policy

Our code of ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our Common Stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions require prior approval by our audit committee and a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors, or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our audit committee and a majority of our disinterested “independent” directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

In furtherance of our policies with respect to related party transactions, with respect to any initial business combination that we consider with an entity that is affiliated with any of our initial stockholders, directors or officers, to further minimize potential conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate a business combination with an entity affiliated with such parties unless (i) an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we seek to acquire that such an initial business combination is fair to our unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view and (ii) the approval of a majority of our disinterested and of our independent directors. Furthermore, in no event will any of our existing officers, directors or initial stockholders, or any entity with which they are affiliated, be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination.

Director Independence

NYSE American’s listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. For a description of the director independence, see above Part III, Item 10 - Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Viveon Health Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Viveon Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2021 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the unaudited condensed financial statements previously included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 have been restated to correct the misstatements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Viveon Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware company on August 7, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”).

The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. The Company’s only activities from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. The Company incurs expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. The Company’s sponsor is Viveon Health, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 22, 2020. On December 28, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 18,000,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”), at a price of $0.50 per Private Warrant, which is discussed in Note 5.

On December 30, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option by purchasing 2,625,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating aggregate of gross proceeds of $26,250,000.

Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, $203,262,500 (approximately $10.10 per Unit) from net offering proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (1) the completion of the initial Business Combination within 15 months and (2) the Company’s redemption of 100% of the outstanding Public Shares if the Company has not completed a Business Combination in the required time period.

While the Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the cash held outside of the Trust Account, substantially all of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants, which are placed in the Trust Account, are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires an interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

In connection with any proposed initial Business Combination, the Company will either (1) seek stockholder approval of such initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public stockholders may seek to convert their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable) or (2) provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to the limitations described herein. The Public Shares subject to redemption were recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”).

VIVEON HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

If the Company determines to engage in a tender offer, such tender offer will be structured so that each public stockholder may tender any or all of his, her or its Public Shares rather than some pro rata portion of his, her or its shares. If enough stockholders tender their shares so that the Company is unable to satisfy any applicable closing condition set forth in the definitive agreement related to its initial Business Combination, or the Company is unable to maintain net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001, the Company will not consummate such initial Business Combination. The decision as to whether it will seek stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in a tender offer will be made by the Company based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction or whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek stockholder approval.

If the Company provides stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to it by means of a tender offer, it will file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of its initial Business Combination, the Company will consummate the Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Company are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of its initial Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions in connection with its initial Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) will provide that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the Company’s prior consent. The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose any amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (a) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its Public Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”) or (b) with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares (including any Units or Public Shares that its initial stockholders or their affiliates purchased in the Initial Public Offering or later acquired in the open market or in private transactions), which will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining holders of common stock and its board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.

The Company’s initial stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6) held by them if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

Merger Agreement

On January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, VHAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Suneva Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Suneva”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a Business Combination between the Company and Suneva will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Suneva, with Suneva surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The board of directors of the Company has (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related transactions by the stockholders of the Company.

VIVEON HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $395,235 of cash and cash equivalents held outside the Trust Account available for working capital needs. All remaining cash held in the Trust Account is generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial Business Combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem common stock. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through the Merger as discussed above. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate the Merger will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Risks & Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a prospective partner company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company intends to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In connection with the preparation for the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, management identified certain transactions the Company had not been accounting for properly. Those transactions consist of the following

The Company has since determined that the transfer of the Founder Shares to the Additional Transferee constitutes a stock award of the Company granted to a member of the board of directors on April 30, 2021 as compensation for the Additional Transferee’s services as a member of the board of directors. This award is subject to ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Founder Shares vested immediately, and, as such, in accordance with ASC 718, the Company must recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares transferred times the grant date fair value per share less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares.

The aforementioned adjustments result in non-cash financial statement corrections and will have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported cash position or total operating, investing or financing cash flows.
