NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On March 13, 2026, we entered into a confidential joint settlement and release agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Ortho-Tain for the full release, waiver and dismissal-resolution of all claims asserted by the parties against each other in the lawsuit we filed in federal district court in Colorado, Case No. 20 cv 1637 and the lawsuit Orth-Tain, Inc. filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on July 22, 2020.

In June of 2020, we filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Colorado, Case No. 20 cv 1637. Our Complaint alleged that we had suffered economic injuries, including lost profits/sales and an injury to its business reputation, as a result of allegedly false, misleading, and defamatory statements made by Ortho-Tain, Inc.’s CEO and legal counsel. In July of 2020, Ortho-Tain, Inc. filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Illinois, Case No. 20 cv 0301. Ortho-Tain’s Complaint alleged that it had suffered economic injuries, including lost profits/sales and an injury to its business reputation, as a result of allegedly unlawful marketing conduct by agents of Vivos.

The Settlement Agreement resolves any claim for relief that was, or could have been alleged, in the foregoing litigation matters. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, we will pay Ortho-Tain a confidential sum and, among other considerations, not make use of the phrase “Guide” or “Guides” in the formal product name of any of our oral appliance products and cease direct solicitation and training of independent dental professionals in the use of any Vivos pre-formed tooth positioner products that are competitive with Ortho-Tain. The settlement was paid late March 2026.

There were no new other material commitments or contingencies entered into as of the three months ended March 31, 2026.
