On July 2, 2023, the Company granted SynCardia Medical (Beijing), Inc. (“SynCardia Beijing”) exclusive distribution rights of its products in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Contingent on the Company becoming publicly traded on a stock exchange, it would be committed to contribute approximately $2.9 million in exchange for a 60% ownership interest and control of the board of directors of SynCardia Beijing.

The agreement remains in effect; however, the Company is monitoring international and market conditions and intends to proceed when such conditions have stabilized and are supportive of the planned investment. Accordingly, no amounts related to this arrangement have been recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and defend indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party.

On February 2, 2026, a putative securities class action captioned Louie v. Picard Medical, Inc., et al., Case No. 5:26-CV-01024, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division. The complaint names PMI as a defendant, along with certain of its current and former officers and directors and other third parties, and purports to assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b‑5 promulgated thereunder. The putative class period alleged is from September 2, 2025, through October 31, 2025. The complaint generally alleges, among other things, that defendants made materially false or misleading statements or omissions in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and subsequent public disclosures, and that the Company’s securities were affected by social‑media‑based promotion activity. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief.

PMI believes the claims against the Company and its officers and directors are without merit and intends to defend this matter vigorously. Given the early stage of the proceedings, the outcome is inherently uncertain, PMI cannot reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss. The Company will continue to evaluate developments in this litigation each reporting period and record an accrual for loss contingencies when, and to the extent, required by applicable accounting standards.
