Historically, we designed, manufactured and marketed a range of tools for catheter-based ablation procedures to treat various arrhythmias. Our product portfolio included novel access sheaths, diagnostic and mapping catheters, conventional and contact ablation catheters, mapping and imaging consoles and accessories, as well as supporting algorithms and software programs. Our foundational product was our AcQMap Imaging and Mapping System, which was designed to rapidly and accurately identify ablation targets and to confirm both ablation success and procedural completion.4 From its latest annual report

Properties, in its own words

As of December 31, 2024, we lease approximately 50,800 square feet of office space for our corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility located in Carlsbad, California under a noncancelable operating lease that expires on December 31, 2027, with the option to renew for a period of an additional five years upon the expiration date of this lease. We also leased approximately 3,900 square feet of office space in Brussels, Belgium under a noncancelable operating lease that expired on December 31, 2024. We did not renew this contract. We believe that the Carlsbad facility is sufficient to meet our current and anticipated needs in the near term and that any unused space can be subleased on commercially reasonable terms.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Acutus Medical, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 24, 2025: 39 risks under these headings, as written.4

  • Risks Related to our Business
  • We are dependent on Medtronic for all of our revenue, with no sales or marketing capabilities of our own, and following the completion of the Operational Downsizing and occurrence of the Second Closing, we will have no manufacturing capabilities of our own, and our business will rely solely on our ability to capture the value associated with potential earnout payments we are eligible to receive under the Asset Purchase Agreement until 2027.
  • There are continued risks associated with the Restructuring and Operational Downsizing, including our ability to manage the transition costs to realize the anticipated benefits.
  • Our ability to continue to have the liquidity necessary to service our debt, meet contractual payment obligations and fund our operations depends on many factors, including our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain other financing.
  • Our board of directors may decide to pursue a liquidation and dissolution of our business prior to or following the conclusion of the Net Sales Earnout period. In such an event, the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders, if any, will depend heavily on the timing of such liquidation as well as the amount of cash that will need to be reserved for commitments and contingent liabilities, including under our 2022 Credit Agreement.
  • Defects or failures associated with the Products we have manufactured for Medtronic under the Distribution Agreement may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
  • If we are unable to comply with our remaining obligations to Medtronic, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation, cash flows and financial position.
  • If we underestimate Medtronic demand for the Products, or if the Second Closing does not occur or does not occur on the timeline we anticipate, we may encounter substantial difficulties managing the ramp up of our operations given our Operational Downsizing. If we are unable to meet Medtronic demand, we may be in violation of our obligations under the Distribution Agreement and Asset Purchase Agreement and lose the earnouts we are eligible to receive under these agreements.
  • The terms of our 2022 Credit Agreement, require us to meet certain operating and financial covenants and place restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, the terms of any new debt could further restrict our ability to operate our business.
  • Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected or in the future should collect sales and use, gross receipts, value added or similar taxes and may successfully impose additional obligations on us, and any such assessments or obligations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards may be limited.
  • If we experience significant disruptions in our information technology systems, our business may be adversely affected.
The other 28 risks
  • Security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business or prevent us from accessing critical information and expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.
  • Risks Related to Government Regulation
  • Regulatory compliance is expensive, complex and uncertain, and failure to comply could lead to enforcement actions against us and other negative consequences for our business.
  • Our operations are subject to pervasive and continuing FDA regulatory requirements.
  • If we fail to comply with the FDA’s QSR, or other FDA or European Union requirements, the FDA or the competent European Union authority could take various enforcement actions including halting our manufacturing operations, and our business would suffer.
  • The Products may be subject to recalls after receiving FDA or foreign approval or clearance, which could divert managerial and financial resources, harm our reputation and adversely affect our business.
  • If any of the Products we manufacture cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury or malfunction in certain ways, we will be required to report under applicable MDR regulations, which can result in voluntary corrective actions or agency enforcement actions.
  • Our strategic partner, employees, independent contractors, consultants, and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.
  • Compliance with environmental laws and regulations could be expensive, and failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject us to significant liability.
  • Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
  • We are a contract manufacturer, and our lack of any meaningful registered intellectual property means we rely solely on our manufacturing processes for our success.
  • We are required to indemnify Medtronic for intellectual property claims in respect of the Products under the Asset Purchase Agreement, and as a result we may become a party to intellectual property litigation or
  • administrative proceedings that could be costly and could interfere with our ability to sell the Products to Medtronic and Medtronic’s ability to sell the Products to end-users.
  • Our rights to develop, manufacture and distribute the Products to Medtronic are subject, in part, to the terms and conditions of licenses granted to us by Medtronic.
  • If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our other proprietary information covering the Products, our business and competitive position may be harmed.
  • Maintaining patent protection for the Products depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and patent protection for the Products could be reduced or eliminated by Medtronic’s non-compliance with these requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • We may be subject to claims that we or our employees, consultants or contractors have wrongfully used, disclosed or otherwise misappropriated the intellectual property of a third party, including trade secrets or know-how, or
  • are in breach of non-competition or non-solicitation agreements with our competitors or claims asserting an ownership interest in intellectual property we regard as our own or otherwise transferred to Medtronic.
  • We may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship of the patents we transferred to Medtronic and other intellectual property in respect of the Products.
  • Risks Related to Our Common Stock
  • Our common stock has been delisted from Nasdaq, and we have undertaken actions to effect a “going dark” transaction, including the deregistration of our common stock with the SEC, including the suspension of our reporting obligations under Exchange Act.
  • Since our common stock was delisted from Nasdaq and is traded over-the-counter, your ability to trade and the market price of our shares of common stock may be negatively impacted.
  • We have in the past and may be in the future subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.
  • We currently do not intend to declare dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, as a result, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our common stock appreciates.
  • Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders and their respective affiliates have substantial influence over us and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control; our principal stockholders may have interests that conflict with your interests as an investor in our common stock.
  • Provisions in our organizational documents and agreements with third parties could delay or prevent a change of control.
  • Our amended and restated bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between
  • us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
  • Our board of directors is authorized to issue and designate shares of our preferred stock in additional series without stockholder approval.
  • General Risk Factors
  • Market conditions and changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could impair our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments and to timely pay key vendors and others.
  • Litigation and other legal proceedings may adversely affect our business.

Legal proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings, including litigation arising from the normal course of our business activities. We have also received, and may from time to time receive, letters from third parties alleging patent infringement, violation of employment practices or trademark infringement, and we may in the future participate in litigation to defend ourselves. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Other than the matters listed below, we are not currently party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
