On December 23, 2020, Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing certain financial and operational business updates (the “Press Release”). A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information set forth in this Item 7.01 and contained in the Press Release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is not incorporated by reference into any of the Company's filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
|---|
On January 11, 2021, the Company completed the final closing of its previously announced private placement of Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) dated August 9, 2020 by and among the Company and Masters Special Situations, LLC, Marlin Fund, Limited Partnership and Marlin Fund II, Limited Partnership (collectively, the “Masters Purchasers”). In total, including the previously announced initial closing, the Company sold $25.8 million of Series A Preferred Stock to the Masters Purchasers and certain of their assignees. By virtue of the subsequent closings, pursuant to the previously announced Investor Rights Agreement dated July 9, 2020, Masters Special Situations, LLC has retained its right to designate one director for election to the Company’s board of directors at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
In connection with the completion of the financing, the Company and the Purchasers (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement, and which now include the assignees who have purchased shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the financing) entered into an amendment to the Resale Registration Rights Agreement dated August 9, 2020, to extend the deadline for filing a resale registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to February 15, 2021.
On December 23, 2020, the Company announced in the Press Release, among other financial and operational business updates, that it had received communication from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) explaining that the reallocation of agency resources to address Emergency Use Authorization applications for products related to the COVID-19 public health emergency is affecting marketing application reviews, including the Eversense 180-day product, which will be delayed by at least 60 days, although the precise duration cannot be known due to the uncertainty associated with the pandemic and the volume of COVID-19 EUA submissions. It is the Company’s understanding that multiple sponsors have received this notification from the FDA regarding the anticipated delays in regulatory reviews resulting from the FDA’s resource reallocation decisions. The Company believes that there is still the potential for a decision by the FDA by the end of the second quarter of 2021. The Press Release also announced the inclusion of Eversense Category III CPT codes in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 2021 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS), establishing global payment for the device cost and procedure fees for healthcare providers across the United States. The Press Release also announced the entry into an agreement with Roche to provide for the orderly transition of distribution activities to Ascensia Diabetes Care in the Roche European territories where it will commence distributing the product effective February 1, 2021, the winding up of Roche’s distribution activities, and resolution of final Roche purchases and other matters between the parties.
Forward-Looking Disclaimer:
Any statements in this report about future expectations, plans and prospects for Senseonics, including statements concerning the potential approval by the FDA of the Company’s 180-day Eversense product and Ascenia Diabetes Care’s commencement of European distribution of the Company’s products, and other statements containing the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “projects,” “will,” “planned,” and similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, including the duration and severity of the resource relocation within the FDA and related implications for the timing of FDA’s evaluation of the 180-day Eversense product, the extent of EUA requests the FDA receives, the uncertainties associated with transitioning responsibility for European distribution from Roche to Ascensia, and other factors as are set forth in the risk factors detailed in Senseonics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, Senseonics’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and Senseonics’ other filings with the SEC under the heading “Risk Factors.” In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this press release represent Senseonics’ views as of the date hereof.

Senseonics Announces Business Update
December 23, 2020
GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SENS), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems for people with diabetes, announced today financial and operational business updates.

|---|---|
| · | Received communication from the FDA explaining the reallocation of agency resources to address Emergency Use Authorization<br>(EUA) applications for products related to the COVID-19 public health emergency is affecting marketing application reviews, including<br>the Eversense 180-day product, which will be delayed by at least 60 days. This is consistent with what Senseonics understands other<br>medical technology companies have reported. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Inclusion of Eversense Category III CPT codes in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 2021 Physician Fee<br>Schedule (PFS), establishing global payment for the device cost and procedure fees for healthcare providers across the United<br>States |
| --- | --- |
| · | Full year 2021 net revenue is expected to be between $12 and $15 million, based on installed base, acceleration<br>of Ascensia’s commercial activities and other factors |
| --- | --- |
| · | Reached agreement with Roche to facilitate transition of distribution to Ascensia, as Roche sales conclude January 31, 2021,<br>including final purchases, transition support activities, and resolution of other matters |

“Strong fourth quarter performance was driven by sales in Europe and supported by Ascensia’s initial US sales. In the first quarter of next year our top priority is executing an orderly commercial transition in Europe from Roche to Ascensia while maintaining uninterrupted patient and provider service. On the regulatory front we understand the FDA’s prioritization of Emergency Use Authorization applications for products to help manage the COVID-19 pandemic. We remain confident that the PROMISE study demonstrates that the excellent performance of the current Eversense system is extended for up to 180 days, and that there still is potential for a decision from the agency by the end of the end of the second quarter,” said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “The inclusion of implantable CGM in the physician fee schedule for 2021 will improve access to Eversense for Medicare patients who are uniquely suited to benefit from the features of the system. Looking forward to 2021, while the US patient population represents a substantial growth opportunity for Senseonics and Ascensia, we ultimately expect OUS revenue to continue to account for over half of total revenue.”
“We have established a strong commercial team integrated with the Eversense operations across the US and our initial efforts have been successful both with reinsertions of current patients and the addition of new patients,” said Robert Schumm, President of Ascensia Diabetes Care. “As we look to 2021, we intend to ramp up our investment in the beginning of the new year to increase access to the technology globally. We will be focused on expanding our worldwide sales and marketing activities while building out a comprehensive infrastructure to drive continued Eversense adoption. We are excited to work with this enthusiastic group of healthcare providers and patients who believe in the remarkable benefits of the Eversense products.”
