| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
As previously announced, on September 17, 2023, Elutia Inc. (the “Company” or “Elutia”) executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Berkeley Biologics, LLC (“Berkeley”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of GNI Group, Ltd. (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 2160.T) (“GNI”). On November 8, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Berkeley completed its purchase (the “Asset Purchase”) of substantially all of the assets of the Company related to (i) the Company’s business of researching, developing, administering, insuring, operating, commercializing, manufacturing, selling and marketing the Company’s Orthobiologics products identified in the Purchase Agreement (the “Products”), and (ii) the business of contract manufacturing of particulate bone, precision milled bone, cellular bone matrix, acellular dermis, soft tissue and other products (but excluding the business of contract manufacturing of acellular dermis products for use in the field of breast reconstruction) (the “Closing”).
Shortly after the Closing Date, Elutia received an initial cash payment of approximately $14.6 million, after customary adjustments. In addition, for each of the five years following the Closing, the Company is eligible under the Purchase Agreement to receive an earn-out payment (each, an “Earn-Out Payment”) equal to 10% of the actual revenue earned by Berkeley in the applicable year that is derived from sales of those Products defined as “Earn-Out Products” under the Purchase Agreement, and from any improvements, modifications, derivatives and enhancements related to the Earn-Out Products, with the aggregate amount of Earn-Out Payments capped at $20 million.
Amendment Letter with SWK Funding LLC
In connection with the Closing, the Company entered into an amendment letter (the “Amendment Letter”) with SWK Funding LLC amending that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2022, among Elutia, as Borrower, SWK Funding LLC, as Agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “SWK Facility”). The Amendment Letter provides for the Company’s use of a portion of the Orthobiologics sale proceeds to pay down certain amounts owed under mandatory prepayment provisions of the SWK Facility. Pursuant to the Amendment Letter and an associated partial release of lien entered into by Elutia, Berkeley and the Agent, approximately $2.0 million of the proceeds from the Asset Purchase were paid to the Agent shortly after the Closing Date. The Company will also be required to pay an additional $2.0 million, representing the remainder of the mandatory prepayment amounts owed under the SWK Facility, by the earlier of (i) February 15, 2024 or (ii) two business days following written request by the Agent (the “Deferred Prepayment”). Until the time the Deferred Prepayment is made, the Company will be required to maintain an amount of Consolidated Unencumbered Liquid Assets (as such term is defined in the SWK Facility) increased by the amount of the Deferred Prepayment.
Contract Manufacturing Agreement
In connection with the Closing, the Company and Berkeley also entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement (the “Manufacturing Agreement”) pursuant to which Berkeley will manufacture, supply and distribute the SimpliDerm Hydrated Acellular Dermal Allograft product for the Company for a period of two years following the Closing.

All statements contained in this report that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including any statements and information concerning our expectations for receiving the earnout payments under our agreement with Berkeley Biologics, LLC.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, and other important factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those contemplated or implied in this press release, including, but not limited to: risks associated with shifting focus to our drug-eluting biomatrix solutions in the cardiovascular and breast reconstruction areas and away from our Orthobiologics business; risks regarding the ability to successfully execute or realize the anticipated benefits under our distribution arrangements with LeMaitre Vascular and Sientra; risks relating to the potential removal of our securities from listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market; our inability to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability; adverse changes in economic conditions and instability and disruption of credit markets; our ability to continue as a going concern; our ability to successfully achieve expected benefits from the divestiture of our Orthobiologics business; our products and our ability to enhance, expand, develop and commercialize our product offerings; the impact on our business of the recall of a single lot of our FiberCel product and the discontinuation of its sales by our distribution partner; consequences of our recall of a single lot of one of our viable bone matrix products and market withdrawal of all of our viable bone matrix products; our dependence on our commercial partners; the impact of the bankruptcy of Surgalign Holdings, Inc., a significant customer of the Company, on our future revenues; physician awareness of the distinctive characteristics, and acceptance by the medical community, of our products; the ability to obtain regulatory approval or other marketing authorizations, including with respect to our FDA 510(k) submission with respect to our CanGarooRM product; our intellectual property rights; and risks that the requirements for any or all of the Earn Out Payments might not be achieved and that any or all of the additional consideration tied to the Earn Out Payments might not be received by the Company; and other important factors which can be found in the “Risk Factors” section of Elutia’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including Elutia’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Elutia’s other filings with the SEC, including Elutia’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Investor Relations page of Elutia’s website at https://investors.elutia.com.

Any forward-looking statement made by Elutia in this press release is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by applicable law, Elutia expressly disclaims any obligations to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Following its receipt of an invoice, Elutia will have [***] business days to notify Purchaser of any reasonable, good faith objections to any amounts set forth in the invoice, including an explanation in reasonable detail of any such objections; provided that if Elutia does not provide any such notice to Purchaser by such date, Elutia shall be deemed to have accepted the invoice and waived any objections thereto. Elutia shall pay all amounts that are not subject to objection in accordance with the foregoing sentence by wire transfer of freely available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Purchaser, and the Parties shall each use their reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections as expeditiously as possible.

Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On November 8, 2023, Elutia Inc. (the “Company”) completed the previously announced sale of its Orthobiologics segment (the “Orthobiologics Business”) to Berkeley Biologics, LLC (“Berkeley”). The sale was structured as an asset purchase, which occurred by divestiture of all the Orthobiologics Business assets and liabilities. After the divestiture, the Company will no longer consolidate the Orthobiologics Business into its financial results (the entire transaction is being referred to as the “Sale”).
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is based on historical financial statements of the Company as adjusted for the unaudited pro forma effects of the Sale. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with:
| • | the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023; |
| • | the unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on November 14, 2023; |
The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 reflect the Company’s results as if the Sale had occurred as of January 1, 2021 in that they reflect the reclassification of the Orthobiologics Business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The adjustments in the “Transaction Accounting Adjustments” column in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 give effect to the Sale and related transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2022. The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023 presents the financial position of the Company as if the Sale had occurred on September 30, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments and related assumptions are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared based upon currently available information and assumptions that are deemed appropriate by the Company’s management. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is for informational and illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be indicative of what actual results would have been had the Sale occurred on the dates assumed, nor does such data purport to represent the consolidated financial results of the Company for future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information, estimates and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable in order to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the impact of this disposition on our historical financial information. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.
