Election
of New Directors
On
August 1, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) elected
Abhinav (Abi) Jain and Tyler Lipschultz to the Board, in each case effective immediately. Mr. Jain was appointed to serve as a member
of the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board and Mr. Lipschultz was appointed
to serve as a member of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board, in each case effective immediately.
Since
July 2019, Mr. Jain has served as an Analyst at Nantahala Capital Management, LLC, an investment management company focused on investments
in various sectors, including specialty and generic pharmaceuticals and medtech, and the beneficial owner of 49.1% of the outstanding
common stock of the Company (“Nantahala”). From 2015 to 2017, Mr. Jain was an Associate at Angelo, Gordon & Co., an alternative
asset manager. At Angelo, Gordon & Co., Mr. Jain focused on private equity and structured credit investments. Mr. Jain currently
serves as a member of the board of directors of Aytu Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company, and Talphera,
Inc. (NASDAQ: TLPH), a specialty pharmaceutical company. He graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2012 with an S.B.
in Chemical-Biological Engineering and from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 2019 with an M.B.A. with honors in
Finance and Entrepreneurial Management. Mr. Jain’s financial expertise and experience contributes valuable experience to the Board.
Mr.
Lipschultz has over 35 years of leadership experience in orthopaedics, spine, and biologics. He currently serves as President of LocateBio,
Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of a biotechnology company in England, a position he has held since November 2024. Prior to LocateBio, Mr. Lipschultz
served as President, Global Biologics at Orthofix Medical Inc., a global medical technology company, from January 2023 until July 2025.
Prior to Orthofix, Mr. Lipschultz served as Senior Vice President, Orthobiologics and Business Development of SeaSpine Holdings Corporation,
a global medical technology company focused on surgical solutions for the treatment of spinal disorders, from February 2018 until its
acquisition by Orthofix in January 2023, and prior to that position, served as Vice President, Orthobiologics and Business Development
of SeaSpine from July 2015 to February 2018. From June 2008 to March 2015, Mr. Lipschultz held positions of increasing responsibility
at NuVasive, Inc., a publicly traded medical device company, most recently serving as its Executive Vice President, Global Operations,
and, prior to that, Executive Vice President, Biologics. Prior to joining NuVasive, Mr. Lipschultz was a director at ProtoStar, a medical
device incubator that formed Annulex, CVRx, and VERTx, which he co-founded. In 2002, VERTx merged with Spine Wave, where Mr. Lipschultz
subsequently served in a variety of roles, including Executive Vice President and General Manager of the mechanical business. Prior to
ProtoStar, Mr. Lipschultz held the position of Equity Research Analyst at Piper Jaffray and served in various marketing/product management
roles at Stryker Corporation, Smith & Nephew plc, and DePuy. Mr. Lipschultz received a B.A. in economics and business administration
from Kalamazoo College and an M.B.A. from the executive program at Krannert School of Management at Purdue University. Mr. Lipschultz’s
substantial experience in the biologics, orthopaedics, and spine industries contributes valuable experience to the Board.
As
a member of the Board, each of Messrs. Abhinav and Lipschultz will receive customary non-employee director compensation and participate
in plans and policies on the same basis as the Company’s other non-employee directors, as described under the heading “Director
Compensation” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its most recent Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July
23, 2024. In connection with their election to the Board, the Company entered into a standard indemnification agreement with each of
Messrs. Abhinav and Lipschultz, in substantially the same form that the Company has entered into with its other non-employee directors,
which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Messrs.
Abhinav and Lipschultz were appointed to the Board at the request of Nantahala and upon a determination by the Board that their appointment
and the resulting Board composition is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. There are no other arrangements or
understandings between each of Messrs. Abhinav and Lipschultz and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director of
the Company. There are no arrangements between the Company and Nantahala regarding board composition or other governance rights.
As
previously disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 11, 2025, on April 10, 2025, ROS Acquisition Offshore
LP, OrbiMed Royalty Opportunities II, LP and Royalty Opportunities S.àr.l (together, the “OrbiMed Sellers”), each
of which are affiliates of OrbiMed Advisors LLC and collectively former majority stockholders of the Company, entered into a stock purchase
agreement with funds affiliated with Nantahala and certain other purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to
which the OrbiMed Sellers agreed to sell and sold to the Purchasers an aggregate of 73,114,592 shares of common stock of the Company
at a per share price of $0.42. The Company was not a party to the stock purchase agreement, which was privately negotiated amongst the
OrbiMed Sellers and the Purchasers. In this transaction, Nantahala purchased 57 million shares of common stock of the Company. To facilitate
the transaction, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company agreed to
prepare and file a shelf resale registration statement with the SEC for purposes of registering the resale of the shares and to use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC. The Company also agreed, among other things,
to indemnify the selling stockholders from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance
of or compliance with the registration rights agreement. The Company filed the resale registration statement on May 12, 2025 and it became
effective on May 19, 2025.
Except
as set forth above, there have been no other transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently
proposed transactions, regarding each of Messrs. Abhinav and Lipschultz that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation
S-K.
Director
Resignations
Also,
on August 1, 2025, Robert McNamara and Lori Mitchell-Keller resigned as directors of the Company, effective immediately. Neither Mr.
McNamara’s nor Ms. Mitchell-Keller’s decision to resign was the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter
relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, but rather was pursuant to the oral understanding between the Company
and Nantahala regarding Board composition. The Company is appreciative of Mr. McNamara’s and Ms. Mitchell-Keller’s service
and contributions to the Company as Board members.
