Overview

We are the leading company focused specifically on the science, development, and commercialization of

technologies for peripheral nerve regeneration and repair. We are passionate about providing the opportunity to

restore nerve function and quality of life for patients with peripheral nerve injuries. We provide innovative,

clinically proven, and economically effective repair solutions for surgeons and healthcare providers. Peripheral

nerves provide the pathways for both motor and sensory signals throughout the body. Every day, people suffer

traumatic injuries or undergo surgical procedures that impact the function of their peripheral nerves. Physical

damage to a peripheral nerve or the inability to properly reconnect peripheral nerves can result in the loss of muscle

or organ function, the loss of sensory feeling, or the initiation of pain.

Our platform for peripheral nerve repair features a comprehensive portfolio of products, including:

•Avance® (acellular nerve allograft-arwx), an acellular nerve scaffold for the treatment of adult and

pediatric patients aged one month or older with sensory, mixed and motor peripheral nerve discontinuities

("Avance");

•Avance® Nerve Graft, a biologically active off-the-shelf processed human nerve allograft for bridging

severed peripheral nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site ("Avance Nerve

Graft" and together with Avance, the "Avance Products");

•Axoguard Nerve Connector®, a porcine (pig) submucosa extracellular matrix ("ECM") coaptation aid for

tensionless repair of severed peripheral nerves ("Axoguard Nerve Connector");

•Axoguard Nerve Protector®, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to wrap and protect damaged

peripheral nerves and reinforce the nerve reconstruction while minimizing soft tissue attachments

("Axoguard Nerve Protector");

•Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector™, a porcine submucosa ECM base layer coated with a proprietary

hyaluronate-alginate gel, a next-generation technology designed to enhance nerve gliding and provide

short- and long-term protection for peripheral nerve injuries ("Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector");

•Axoguard Nerve Cap®, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to protect a peripheral nerve end and

separate the nerve from the surrounding environment to reduce the development of symptomatic or painful

neuroma ("Axoguard Nerve Cap"); and

•Avive+ Soft Tissue Matrix™, a multi-layer amniotic membrane allograft used to protect and separate

tissues in the surgical bed during the critical phase of tissue healing ("Avive+ Soft Tissue Matrix").

On June 24, 2024, we announced the launch of Avive+ Soft Tissue Matrix. Avive+ Soft Tissue Matrix is

processed and distributed in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") requirements for Human

Cellular and Tissue-based Products ("HCT/P") under the Code of Federal Regulations ("CFR") Title 21 ("21 CFR")

Part 1271 regulations and U.S. PHS regulations as a Section 361 human tissue product. Products regulated solely

S-4

Table of Contents

under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act ("PHS Act") are a product category under close scrutiny by the

FDA for compliance with the regulatory requirements and are potentially subject to regulatory change in the future.

On December 3, 2025, the FDA approved our Biologics License Application for Avance ("BLA"). In alignment

with prior agreements with the FDA, we will transition Avance Products from a human tissue product under Section

361 of the PHS Act ("361 HCT/P") to a licensed biologic product under Section 351 of the PHS Act. Products that

began manufacturing prior to the BLA approval will continue to be distributed as a 361 HCT/P under 21 CFR Part

1271 requirements. Per our agreed upon transition plan with the FDA, this product may remain in the supply chain

until its labeled expiration date. Production of Avance under BLA standards began following BLA approval.

Our portfolio of products is currently available in the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom,

Spain and several other countries.

Revenue from the distribution of our Avance Nerve Graft, Axoguard Nerve Connector, Axoguard Nerve

Protector, Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector, Axoguard Nerve Cap and Avive+ Soft Tissue Matrix in the U.S. is the

main contributor to our total reported sales and have been the key component of our growth to date.

Nerves can be damaged in several ways. When a nerve is cut due to a traumatic injury or inadvertently during a

surgical procedure, functionality of the nerve may be compromised, causing the nerve to no longer carry the signals

to and from the brain to the muscles and skin, thereby reducing or eliminating functionality. The loss of function can

impact a person's ability to work and perform daily tasks, to properly be aware and respond to their environment

(e.g., heat, cold or other dangers), and could negatively impact their ability to experience and enjoy life.

Nerve damage or transection of the type described above generally requires a surgical repair. Traditionally, the

standard has been to either suture the nerve ends together directly without tension or to bridge the gap between the

nerve ends with a less important nerve surgically removed from elsewhere in the patient's own body, referred to as a

nerve autograft. More recently, synthetic or collagen conduits have been used for the repair of short gaps. Nerves

that are not repaired or heal abnormally may result in a permanent loss of motor and/or sensory function.

Additionally, abnormal healing can form a neuroma that may send altered signals to the brain resulting in the

sensation of pain. This abnormal section of the nerve can, under certain circumstances, be surgically removed and

the nerve can be managed by capping, burying, or surgically repairing the nerve.

In addition, compression on a nerve, blunt force trauma or other physical irritations to a nerve can cause nerve

damage that may alter the signal conduction of the nerve, resulting in pain, and may, in some instances, require

surgical intervention to address the resulting nerve compression. Finally, when a patient undergoes a mastectomy

due to breast cancer or prophylactically due to a genetic predisposition for breast cancer, the nerves are cut to allow

the removal of the breast tissue. This can result in a loss of sensation, the potential risk of a symptomatic neuroma,

and could negatively impact the patient's quality of life. When a patient chooses a breast reconstruction after a

mastectomy, sensation and quality of life can, in certain cases, be returned through surgical nerve repair.

To improve the options available for the surgical repair and regeneration of peripheral nerves, we have

developed and licensed regenerative medicine technologies. Our innovative approach to regenerative medicine has

resulted in first-in-class products that we believe are redefining the peripheral nerve repair market. Our products are

used by surgeons during surgical interventions to repair a wide variety of physical nerve damage throughout the

body, which can range from a simple laceration of a finger to a complex brachial plexus injury (an injury to the

network of nerves that control the movement and sensation of the shoulder, arm, and hand) as well as nerve injuries

caused by dental, orthopedic, and other surgical procedures.

Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Market Overview

Peripheral nerve injury ("PNI") through damage or transection is a major source of physical disability impairing

the ability to move muscles or to feel normal sensations. Patients suffer traumatic bodily injuries every day that may

result in damage or transection to peripheral nerves severe enough to require surgical treatment. We break our total

addressable market into four categories: (i) extremities, (ii) oral maxillofacial and head and neck, (iii) breast, and

(iv) urology, which we refer to collectively as the Total Addressable Market ("TAM").

S-5

Table of Contents

We previously estimated that U.S. PNI has a potential TAM for our current product portfolio and believe it is

presently at least $5.6 billion. Estimating the TAM for nerve repair is challenging as there is not a simple data source

for the incidence of peripheral nerve issues. This is further complicated by the fact that nerves can be injured

through a variety of traumatic and surgical injuries and can impact a patient from head to toe. In addition, we believe

nerves are often one of many structures injured in a trauma (e.g., amputation) or in surgery and the incidence of

these nerve injuries are often not coded or tracked. Quantifying the procedures involving nerve repair may also be

challenging. While selected trauma and surgical procedures are dedicated to the repair of nerves, most of the

incidence of nerve repair is a step in a larger trauma or surgical procedure. Current Procedural Terminology ("CPT")

codes exist for surgeons to code for nerve repair; however, we believe the data substantially underestimates the total

number of nerves repaired. Physicians are encouraged to document all steps of procedures, but open trauma often

involves many surgical steps, and CPT codes may be inclusive of each other or may not be documented or reported

in billing records. As a result, we believe CPT coding underrepresents the total number of nerve repairs performed in

trauma. Because we believe CPT claims are not fully representative of the true volumes of nerve repair surgery, we

follow an "empirical" methodology to estimate the TAM - using published clinical literature and procedure

databases to make what we believe are the most objective assumptions.

Extremities

The extremities business is comprised of traumatic nerve injuries and chronic nerve injuries. The traumatic

nerve injuries portion of the TAM encompasses traumatic PNI throughout the body, with approximately 95% of

injuries affecting upper and lower extremity nerves. We previously estimated the trauma portion of the TAM and

presently believe it is at least $2.9 billion annually based upon epidemiological studies regarding the general number

of trauma patients, clinical literature review reporting PNI incidence, and physician interviews. We have estimated

the portion of these nerve repair procedures due to trauma that would require gap repair, primary repair and/or nerve

protection and applied, as we believed was appropriate in each procedure segment, the number of units and average

sales price of Avance Products and the average market price for nerve connectors and nerve protectors to determine

the probable TAM.

Oral Maxillofacial and Head and Neck

We previously estimated the oral maxillofacial portion of the TAM and presently believe it is at least $1.2

billion annually, based upon research indicating that approximately 54,000 PNI occur in the U.S. each year related

to third molar surgeries, anesthetic injections, dental implants, orthognathic surgery, and mandibular resection

procedures. We have applied the average sales price of the Avance Products, Axoguard Nerve Connector, and

Axoguard Nerve Protector that address such PNI to derive the oral maxillofacial portion of the estimated TAM.

In head and neck, we are focused on addressing nerve injuries in parotidectomy, thyroidectomy and radical neck

dissections, which we believe presently represent a significant opportunity with more than 200,000 procedures

performed annually, highly concentrated in large academic hospital centers.

Breast

We previously estimated the breast portion of the TAM based on autologous flap reconstructions (i.e. DIEP

flaps) and presently believe it is at least $417 million annually. In 2023, we launched Resensation® to implant-based

procedures with neurotization of the nipple area complex. We estimate that there is an additional 10-15% of the

breast reconstructions done with implants that can also be neurotized which adds at least $260 million to increase the

estimated TAM to at least $677 million annually. Currently, when a patient undergoes autologous or implant-based

breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, the patient receives the shape of a natural breast, but often times

experiences little to no return of sensory feeling. In certain cases, sensation can be returned to the breast area with

the use of our products through an innovative surgical technique called Resensation. We believe that the ideal breast

reconstruction should restore breast size, shape, symmetry, and softness, as well as sensation, without the potential

risks and comorbidity associated with autograft. We believe the Resensation technique incorporates a patient's

desire for the opportunity to return sensation to their breasts with a reproducible and efficient surgical approach for

reconstructive plastic surgery.

Urology

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in the U.S. with 1 in 8 men diagnosed over their lifetime.

Robotic assisted radical prostatectomy, which involves the surgical removal of the prostate gland, is the most

common surgical treatment. Despite its efficacy in cancer control and development of nerve sparing techniques, the

procedure often leads to problematic side effects, due to nerve injury to the cavernous nerve. Our nerve repair

portfolio can be used to reconstruct the transected cavernous nerve as well as provide nerve protection in nerve

sparing radical prostatectomies. We currently estimate the TAM is at least $754.0 million or 110,000 procedures. To

derive the estimated TAM we multiplied the average market sales price of our portfolio products used in the

procedure by the number of estimated procedures

Although distribution and sales of products in the extremities, oral maxillofacial and head and neck, breast and

urology portions of the TAM constitute our primary revenue sources today, multiple market expansion opportunities

in other clinical applications could offer us expanded revenue opportunities.

Recent Developments

Preliminary Unaudited Three Months and Full-Year 2025 Financial Information

While we have not finalized our financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, we

expect to report the following preliminary unaudited financial information:

•Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 is expected to be approximately $59.9 million,

representing an increase of approximately 21.3% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024.

•Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 is expected to be approximately $225.2 million,

representing an increase of approximately 20.2% compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

•Gross margin for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 is expected to be above 74%. Gross

margin is expected to reflect one-time costs of approximately $1.9 million, or approximately 3% and 1%

for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, related to the approval of the BLA

for Avance by the FDA. It is also expected that approximately 67% of such one-time costs are non-cash

and relate to the vesting of certain stock compensation awards containing FDA approval milestones.

•We expect that our balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments was approximately

$45.5 million as of December 31, 2025, representing an increase of approximately $6.0 million compared

to the balance as of December 31, 2024.

The preliminary unaudited financial information set forth above is based on management's initial analysis of

operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, and are subject to completion of our financial

closing procedures and audit. Actual results may differ materially from these preliminary estimates. Neither our

independent accountants, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any

procedures with respect to the preliminary fourth quarter/year-end financial information contained herein, nor have

they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information, and assume no responsibility for,

and disclaim any association with, the preliminary fourth quarter/year-end financial information.

Biologics License Application Approval

On December 3, 2025, the FDA approved the BLA for Avance as an acellular nerve scaffold for the treatment

of adult and pediatric patients aged 1 month or older with sensory nerve discontinuity (≤25 mm). The FDA granted

accelerated approval to Avance for the treatment of sensory nerve discontinuity (>25 mm) and mixed and motor

nerve discontinuity based on extrapolation of the sensory results from our completed RECON study entitled "A

Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Patient and Evaluator Blinded Comparative Study of Nerve Cuffs and

Avance Nerve Graft Evaluating Recovery Outcomes for the Repair of Nerve Discontinuities." Continued approval

for indications of sensory nerve discontinuities (>25 mm) and for mixed and motor nerve discontinuities depends on

verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory studies. The FDA requires a post-marketing

requirement study with a final protocol due February 5, 2026, study completion by December 5, 2030, and a final

S-7

Table of Contents

report due June 5, 2031, as well as progress reports every 180 days, beginning on May 31, 2026. Under this post-

marketing requirement, we will conduct a study comparing Avance to nerve autograft.

Commercial availability of Avance is expected early in the second quarter of 2026. In the meantime, Avance

remains available under the current tissue framework.

Expected Payoff of Oberland Credit Facility

We entered into a Term Loan Agreement, dated June 30, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the "Credit

Facility"), with Oberland Capital and its affiliates, TPC Investments II LP and Argo LLC (collectively, the

"Lender"). We entered into a payoff letter with the Lender on January 20, 2026 (the "Payoff Letter"). Pursuant to

the Payoff Letter, the final payoff amount (the payment of which the parties acknowledge and agree, for the

avoidance of doubt, shall result in the termination of all obligations under the Credit Facility) is approximately $69.7

million, so long as the payoff date is on or before February 15, 2026. Upon payment of the payoff amount and

satisfaction of the other conditions specified in the Payoff Letter, all obligations under the Credit Facility will be

paid in full, all liens and security interests securing such obligations will be released, and the Credit Facility and

related loan documents will terminate, subject to certain customary surviving provisions.

We currently intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this offering for the early payoff and

termination of the Credit Facility. The actual amount of proceeds used for this purpose and the timing of such

repayment will depend on a number of factors, including the completion and closing of this offering and the

satisfaction of the conditions to repayment under the Payoff Letter. For a more complete description of our intended

use of proceeds from this offering, see the section titled "Use of Proceeds."

and the other information included and incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the

accompanying prospectus, including the risk factors contained in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report

on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,

which are hereby specifically incorporated by reference, before deciding to invest in our securities. You should read

the risk factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q in their entirety, except to

the extent that any such risk factors are modified or superseded by the risks described below. If any of such risks

occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event,

the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and

uncertainties described below or incorporated by reference are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and

uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important

factors that adversely affect our business or results of operations.

Risks Related to This Offering

Our common stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, price volatility, which could result in

substantial losses for investors in our common stock.

Our common stock has at times experienced substantial price volatility as a result of many factors, including the

general volatility of stock market prices and volumes, changes in securities analysts' estimates of our financial

performance, variations between our actual and anticipated financial results, changes in expectations regarding our

growth prospects, revenue, or profitability, fluctuations in procedure volumes or demand for our nerve repair and

regeneration solutions, the timing and outcomes of clinical studies or post-market data, regulatory developments or

actions related to our products, including those by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory

authorities, changes in reimbursement coverage or payment levels by third-party payors, health reform measures,

supply chain disruptions, or uncertainty about current global economic conditions. For these reasons, among others,

the price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate. In addition, if the stock market in general experiences a

loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our

business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to

fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and be a distraction to

management.

Future sales or issuances of our common stock, or the perception of such sales, may adversely affect our

common stock price.

Sales of our common stock or other securities in the public or private market, or the perception that these sales

may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. This could also impair our ability to raise

additional capital through the sale of our equity securities. Under our certificate of incorporation, we are authorized

to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock. We may sell large quantities of our common stock at any time

pursuant to one or more separate offerings in the future. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our

common stock or other securities or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of our common stock and other

securities would have on the market price of our common stock.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management has broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for

working capital and other general corporate purposes, and we may spend or invest these proceeds in a way with

which our shareholders disagree. Although we currently expect to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds from

this offering to repay in full amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility, such use is subject to a number of

conditions, including the completion and closing of this offering and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the

Payoff Letter. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from

this offering, including whether and when the repayment of the Credit Facility occurs, their ultimate use may vary

substantially from their currently intended use. For additional details, see the section titled "Use of Proceeds."

S-11

Table of Contents

The failure by our management to apply these net proceeds effectively could harm our business. If we are

unable to complete the repayment of the Credit Facility as currently contemplated, we will continue to be subject to

the restrictions, liens and obligations under the Credit Facility, which may adversely affect our business, financial

condition and operating results. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner

that does not produce income or that loses value, which may negatively impact the market price of our common

stock.

If you purchase our common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution.

The public offering price is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock

of $2.48 per share as of September 30, 2025. Investors purchasing common stock in this offering will pay a price per

share that substantially exceeds the book value of our tangible assets after subtracting our liabilities.

This dilution is due to the substantially lower price paid by our investors who purchased shares prior to this

offering as compared to the price offered to the public in this offering, and any previous exercise of stock options

granted to our service providers. To the extent outstanding options are exercised, RSUs or performance share awards

vest and settle or we raise any additional capital you will incur further dilution. As a result of the dilution to

investors purchasing shares in this offering, investors may receive less than the purchase price paid in this offering,

if anything, in the event of our liquidation. For additional information on the dilution that you will experience

immediately after this offering, see the section titled "Dilution."

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock, and, consequently, investors' ability to

achieve a return on their investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all available

funds and any future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. We

do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, any

investment return on our common stock will depend upon increases in the value of our common stock, which is not

certain. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate or even maintain the price at which investors

have purchased it.

Risks Related to the Regulatory Environment in Which We Operate

We obtained regulatory approval for certain uses of Avance through the FDA's accelerated approval

pathway and traditional approval will be contingent on successful completion of a confirmatory post-approval

trial. Failure to successfully complete our confirmatory post-approval trial or obtain traditional approval would

have a material adverse effect on our business.

Although the FDA granted traditional approval to Avance as an acellular nerve scaffold for the treatment of

adult and pediatric patients aged 1 month or older with sensory nerve discontinuity (≤25 mm), the FDA granted

accelerated approval to Avance for the treatment of sensory nerve discontinuity (>25 mm) and mixed and motor

nerve discontinuity. For products granted accelerated approval, sponsors are required to verify and describe the

product's anticipated clinical benefit generally in the form of confirmatory trials. These confirmatory trials must be

completed with due diligence and, pursuant to the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act ("FDORA"), the FDA is

authorized to require a post-approval trial to be underway prior to approval or within a specified time period

following approval. FDORA also requires the FDA to specify conditions of any required post-approval trial and

requires sponsors to submit progress reports for required post-approval studies and any conditions required by the

FDA. FDORA enables the FDA to initiate enforcement action for the failure to conduct with due diligence a

required post-approval trial, including a failure to meet any required conditions, which may include enrollment

targets, the study protocol and study milestones, specified by the FDA, or to submit timely reports. Failure to

conduct our required post-approval confirmatory trial with due diligence, to meet the timelines and conditions

agreed to by FDA for the completion of the confirmatory trial, or to verify and describe the anticipated clinical

benefit of Avance during our post-approval confirmatory trial would allow the FDA to withdraw approval on an

expedited basis as to the portions of the indication providing for use of Avance to treat sensory nerve discontinuity

(>25 mm), mixed and motor nerve discontinuity, or both, which would have a material adverse effect on our

business.

S-12

Table of Contents

In addition, all promotional materials for products approved under the accelerated approval pathway are subject

to prior review by the FDA. If the FDA were to object to our promotional pieces, we may be required to revise our

materials, or be subject to untitled or warning letters.

If the FDA were to withdraw or suspend our BLA approval, narrow the approved indication, or otherwise

limit the use of our Avance Products, our revenues would be significantly impacted and thus would have a

material adverse effect on us.

The FDA approved the BLA for Avance to treat sensory nerve discontinuity (≤25 mm) on December 3, 2025.

Following approval, Avance is subject to all post-approval regulatory requirements applicable to licensed biologics,

including manufacturing, labeling, packaging, storage, advertising, promotion, sampling, record-keeping, conduct of

post-marketing clinical trials and submission of safety, efficacy and other post-approval information, including both

federal and state requirements in the U.S. and requirements of comparable foreign regulatory authorities. If we fail

to comply with any post-approval requirements, the FDA could take regulatory action, including issuing warning

letter, imposing fines, mandating product recalls, restricting the approved indication, or withdrawing or suspending

the BLA. Any such action would have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial viability.

Because approximately 60% of our total revenues are from sales of Avance Products, any narrowing of the

approved indication, additional FDA-imposed restrictions, or other adverse action relating to the BLA could have a

material negative impact on our revenues and our operations.

Manufacturers and manufacturers' facilities are required to continuously comply with FDA and comparable

foreign regulatory authority requirements, including ensuring that quality control and manufacturing procedures

conform to cGMP regulations and corresponding foreign regulatory manufacturing requirements. As such, we and

our third-party suppliers will be subject to continual review and inspections to assess compliance with cGMP and

adherence to commitments made in our BLA. Any failure by us or our third-party suppliers to adhere to or document

compliance with such regulatory requirements could lead to a delay or interruption in the availability of materials for

the manufacture of Avance, among other consequences. For example, Avance is supplied by a single Axogen owned

and operated manufacturing facility and our ability to continue manufacturing Avance at this facility under the terms

of our BLA is dependent on the successful implementation of certain updates to our previous environmental

monitoring program. The FDA requires sponsors to conduct environmental monitoring for biologics manufacturing

to control microbial and particulate contamination and ensure product safety and efficacy. We have an ongoing

Environmental Monitoring Performance Qualification (EMPQ) study intended to demonstrate the adequacy of the

updates to our environmental monitoring program to the FDA and that they have been successfully implemented.

We will need to demonstrate that our environmental monitoring program continues to be adequate post-licensure,

and the FDA will verify the results of our EMPQ study during follow-up inspections of our facility. If we fail to

properly qualify our environmental monitoring program or the FDA finds that the results of the EMPQ study require

changes to our environmental monitoring program, we may be forced to implement additional monitoring

procedures, obtain and qualify new equipment, or hire and train additional staff, and we may be forced to run a new

EMPQ study, any of which could impact our ability to manufacture product, which would have a material effect on

our business.

If we or our third-party contractors fail to comply with the requirements of the FDA or other regulatory

authorities or fail to comply with other post-approval commitments, it could result in sanctions being imposed on us,

including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, clinical holds or

termination of clinical trials, Form 483s, warning or untitled letters, regulatory communications warning the public

about safety issues with a product, import or export refusals, license revocation, seizures, detentions, or recalls of

product candidates or product, operating restrictions, criminal prosecutions or debarment, suits under the civil False

Claims Act, corporate integrity agreements, or consent decrees any of which could significantly and adversely affect

supplies of Avance and our business, financial conditions and results of operations could be materially adversely

affected.

S-13

Table of Contents

Failure to obtain regulatory and pricing approvals in foreign jurisdictions after BLA approval for Avance or

our other products could delay or prevent commercialization of our products abroad.

Distribution of our human tissue products outside the U.S. are subject to foreign regulatory requirements that

vary from country to country. In the E.U., human tissue regulations, if applicable, differ from one E.U. member state

to the next. Because of the absence of a fully harmonized regulatory framework and the proposed regulation for

advanced therapy medicinal products in the E.U., as well as for other countries, the approval process for human

derived cell or tissue based medical products may be extensive, lengthy, expensive, and unpredictable. Our products

are subject to E.U. member states' regulations that govern the donation, procurement, testing, coding, traceability,

processing, preservation, storage, and distribution of human tissues and cells and cellular or tissue-based products.

In addition, some E.U. member states have their own tissue banking regulations. The inability to meet foreign

regulatory requirements could materially affect our future growth and compliance with such requirements could

place a significant financial burden on us. As a result of Brexit, we cannot be sure what changes could occur or what

the cost of regulatory compliance with the U.K. would be. Accordingly, the cost of regulatory compliance for sales

outside the U.S. can be significant and time consuming.

As a result of the product's BLA approval, some foreign regulators may request updated notifications or

documentation regarding Avance's U.S. regulatory status and this may require a Certificate of Foreign Government

which we would obtain from the FDA. The approval procedure varies among countries and can involve additional

testing. The time required to obtain approval abroad may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval. The

foreign regulatory approval process may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval, as well as

obtaining Certificates of Foreign Government from the FDA, and additional risks associated with requirements

particular to those foreign jurisdictions where we will seek regulatory approval of our products. We may not obtain

foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory

authorities in other countries, and approval by one foreign regulatory authority does not ensure approval by

regulatory authorities in other foreign countries. We and our collaborators may not be able to file for regulatory

approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize our products in any market outside the U.S.

The failure to obtain these approvals could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results

of operations.

Finally, regulatory expectations in foreign jurisdictions are subject to constant change. There can be no

assurance that we can meet the requirements of future regulations and guidance or that compliance with current

regulations and guidance assures future capability to distribute and sell our products.

Failure to obtain regulatory or other approvals from certain states in which we operate after BLA approval

for Avance could delay, hinder, or prevent commercialization of our products.

We are subject to regulations of state agencies which have statutes covering tissue banking. Regulations issued

by Florida, New York, California, and Maryland, among other states, are particularly relevant to our business. Most

states do not currently have tissue banking regulations. However, incidents of allograft related issues in the industry

may stimulate the development of regulation in other states. It is possible that third parties may make allegations

against us or against donor recovery groups or tissue banks about non-compliance with applicable FDA regulations

or other relevant statutes or regulations. Allegations like these could cause regulators or other authorities to take

investigative or other action or could cause negative publicity for our business and the industry in which we operate.

As a result of our BLA approval for Avance, we must obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with

numerous and varying state regulatory and licensing requirements. The approval procedures vary among states and

can involve additional testing, supplying additional information, or filing state specific applications. The time

required to obtain state approval may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval. The state approval processes

may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval and additional risks associated with

requirements particular to those states where we will seek approval to manufacture and/or distribute our products.

We may not obtain state approvals on a timely basis, if at all. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by

state authorities, and approval by one state authority does not ensure approval by authorities in other states. The

failure to obtain these approvals could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of

operations.

S-14

Table of Contents

Finally, state regulatory expectations are subject to constant change. There can be no assurance that we can

meet the requirements of future regulations and guidance or that compliance with current regulations and guidance

assures future capability to distribute and sell our products.

BLA approval for Avance could result in different protocols for hospitals' access to the product, as well as

different coverage and reimbursement protocols, both of which may negatively affect surgeons' access to,

revenues derived from, and profitability of, Avance Products.

BLA approval for Avance could result in a different characterization of the product which could result in

different protocols for hospital access to the product and coverage and reimbursement changes. We historically

entered into contracts to sell and distribute our products to hospitals and surgical facilities for use in caring for

patients with peripheral nerve damage or transection. The BLA approval for Avance may require new processes for

supplying our products to customers. While we have experience providing hospitals and surgical facilities with

access to our products through existing processes, the BLA approval may require our Avance Products to be subject

to new or additional protocols of hospitals and surgical facilities. If this occurs, the availability of Avance Products

may be subject to new or differing review and approval processes that are increasingly impacted by pricing

pressures and other cost-containment measures, each of which may adversely impact our ability to sell Avance

Products profitably. In addition, third party payors may limit coverage to specific products on an approved list, or

formulary, which might not include all of the FDA-approved products for a particular indication. As a result, a

different characterization of Avance after BLA approval may also result in different coverage and reimbursement

protocols, which could reduce the amount of approved reimbursement for our products, deny coverage altogether, or

impose new requirements to justify our prices. Any such result could reduce a surgeon's access to Avance Products

which would have an adverse impact on the revenues and profitability derived from Avance Products.

Clinical trials can be long and expensive, and results are ultimately uncertain.

The FDA's approval of the BLA for Avance is conditioned on the completion of additional clinical or post-

marketing studies for sensory nerve discontinuities greater than 25 mm and for mixed and motor nerve

discontinuities, and the FDA may determine that existing or future data do not adequately verify the clinical benefit

of for sensory nerve discontinuities greater than 25 mm and for mixed and motor nerve discontinuities. Under this

post-marketing requirement, the Company will conduct a study comparing Avance to nerve autograft, with a final

protocol due February 5, 2026, study completion by December 5, 2030, and a final report due June 5, 2031, as well

as progress reports every 180 days, beginning on May 31, 2026.

The results of pre-clinical studies do not necessarily predict future clinical trial results and predecessor clinical

trial results may not be repeated in subsequent clinical trials. Additionally, the FDA may disagree with our

interpretation of the data from our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials and may require us to conduct additional

clinical trials, modify our labeling, or comply with new post-marketing commitments. If we fail to satisfy any post-

approval requirements, the FDA could restrict the approved indication, impose additional limitations on

commercialization, or withdraw the approval entirely.

Even after approval, the FDA may determine that the totality of evidence does not continue to support the

current labeling and could require changes that limit the approved indication, restrict marketing, or otherwise

adversely affect commercialization of our Avance Products which could materially adversely affect our operations,

financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We rely on third parties to conduct our clinical trials, and they may not perform as contractually required or

expected.

We rely on third parties, such as contract research organizations ("CROs"), medical institutions, clinical

investigators, and contract laboratories to conduct our clinical trials and certain nonclinical studies. We and our

CROs are required to comply with all applicable regulations governing clinical research, including Good Clinical

Practices. The FDA enforces these regulations through periodic inspections of trial sponsors, principal investigators,

CROs and trial sites. If we or our CROs fail to comply with applicable FDA regulations, the data generated in our

clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA may require us to perform additional clinical trials before

approving our applications. We cannot be certain that, upon inspection, the FDA and similar foreign regulatory

S-15

Table of Contents

authorities will determine that our clinical trial complies or complied with clinical trial regulations, including GCP.

In addition, our clinical trial must be conducted with product produced under applicable GCP regulations. Failure to

comply with the clinical trial regulations, including GCP, may require us to repeat clinical trials, which would delay

the regulatory approval process. Further, if these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or

regulatory obligations or meet expected deadlines, need to be replaced, or the quality or accuracy of the data they

obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or regulatory requirements or for other

reasons, our non-clinical development activities or clinical trials may be extended, delayed, suspended or terminated,

and we would not be able to obtain regulatory approval for our products on a timely basis, if at all, and our business,

results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be adversely affected. Furthermore, our third-party

clinical trial investigators may be delayed in conducting our clinical trials for reasons outside of their control.

Risks Related to Financing Our Business

Our Credit Facility and payment obligations under the Revenue Participation Agreement with Oberland

Capital contains operating and financial covenants that restrict our business and financing activities, require

cash payments over an extended period of time, requires significant make-whole payments at termination and are

subject to acceleration in specified circumstances, which may result in Oberland Capital taking possession and

disposing of any collateral.

Our Credit Facility with Oberland Capital contains restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our

business. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we must maintain, and cause our subsidiaries to maintain, certain

covenants, including with respect to limitations on new indebtedness, restrictions on the payment of dividends and

maintenance of revenue levels. Our Credit Facility is collateralized by all of our assets including, among other

things, our intellectual property.

If we breach certain of our debt covenants and are unable to cure such breach, revert to the provided liquidity

covenant or are not granted waivers in relation to such breach, it may constitute an event of default under the Credit

Facility, giving Oberland Capital the right to require us to repay the then-outstanding debt immediately. If we are

unable to pay the outstanding debt immediately, Oberland Capital could, among other things, foreclose on the

collateral granted to them to collateralize such indebtedness. A breach of the covenants contained in the Credit

Facility documents and the acceleration of its repayment obligations by Oberland Capital could have a material

adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

In connection with the Credit Facility, we entered into a Revenue Participation Agreement ("RPA") with

Oberland Capital. Pursuant to the RPA, we agreed to pay an additional quarterly royalty payment as a percentage of

our net revenue, up to $70 million in any given fiscal year, subject to certain limitations set forth therein, during the

period commencing on the later of (i) April 1, 2021 and (ii) the date of funding of a loan under the Credit Facility

and ending on the date upon which all amounts owed under the Credit Facility have been paid in full. Payments

commenced on September 30, 2021, with the royalty structure resulting in approximately 1.5% per year of

additional payments on the outstanding principal amount of the loans. The terms of the Credit Facility contain

significant make-whole payments upon termination of the facility.

The Credit Facility and RPA could have important negative consequences to the holders of our securities. For

example, a portion of our cash flow from operations will be needed to make payments to Oberland Capital and will

not be available to fund future operations. Additionally, we may have increased vulnerability to adverse general

economic and industry conditions. Payment requirements under the Credit Facility and RPA will increase our cash

outflows. Additionally, the Credit Facility and RPA contain complex provisions, which, if interpreted differently,

could materially increase the amount of the payments due to Oberland Capital. Our future operating performance is

subject to market conditions and business factors that are beyond our control. If our cash inflows and capital

resources are insufficient to allow us to make required payments, we may have to reduce or delay capital

expenditures, sell assets, or seek additional capital.

Although we currently expect to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay

amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility, such use is subject to a number of conditions, including the

completion and closing of this offering and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Payoff Letter. Because

S-16

Table of Contents

of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, including

whether and when the repayment of the Credit Facility occurs, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their

currently intended use. If the net proceeds are not used to repay the Credit Facility, we will continue to be subject to

the restrictions, liens and other obligations thereunder, including the operating and financial covenants and payment

obligations described above, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations,

liquidity, and prospects.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from our sale of the shares of common stock in this offering will be

approximately $ million, or approximately $ million, if the underwriters' option to purchase additional

shares from us is exercised in full, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated

offering expenses payable by us.

We currently intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this offering for the early payoff and

termination of our Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Payoff Letter, so long as the payoff date is on or before February

15, 2026, the final repayment amount (the payment of which the parties acknowledge and agree, for the avoidance

of doubt, shall result in the termination of all obligations under the Credit Facility) is expected to be approximately

$69.7 million. Any proceeds from this offering in excess of amounts used to repay the Credit Facility, if any, will be

used for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.

The expected use of net proceeds of this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans

and business conditions. We cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be

received upon the closing of this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly

depending on numerous factors, including the progress of our development and commercialization efforts and

feedback from regulatory authorities. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of

the net proceeds from this offering. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds from this offering

for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of net proceeds. Pending such uses, we plan

to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing deposits or securities,

such as direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have historically not paid dividends on our common stock. The payment of cash dividends in the future will

be dependent upon revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition from time to

time and may be limited by the terms of any financing and/or other agreements, including the Credit Facility,

entered into by us or our subsidiaries from time to time and by requirements under the laws of our subsidiaries'

respective jurisdictions of incorporation to set aside a portion of their net income in each year to legal reserves.

The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors, and the board of

directors will consider whether or not to institute a dividend policy. It is presently expected that we will retain all

earnings for use in our business operations and, accordingly, it is not expected that our board of directors will

declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible

book value of your shares of common stock. Dilution in net tangible book value represents the difference between

the price to public per share of our common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share, as adjusted

to give effect to this offering.

Net tangible book value represents our total tangible assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares

of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 was

$114.4 million, or $2.48 per share, based on 46,117,283 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September

30, 2025. After giving effect to the sale and issuance of shares of common stock in this offering at the public

offering price of $ per share, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and

estimated offering expenses payable by us, and giving effect to the use of approximately $69.7 million from the net

proceeds of this offering to repay all amounts under the Credit Facility pursuant to the Payoff Letter, our as adjusted

net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 would have been approximately $ million, or $ per share.

This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per share to existing shareholders and an

immediate dilution of $ per share to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering. The following

table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors:


Assumed public offering price per share .................................................		$
Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2025 ...........	$2.48
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to investors participating in the offering ...........................................	$
As adjusted net tangible book value per share, as adjusted to give effect to this offering ............................................................................		$
Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to investors participating in this offering .................................................................		$

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of common stock from us

in this offering at the public offering price of $ per share, after deducting the underwriting discounts and

commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and giving effect to the use of approximately $69.7

million from the net proceeds of this offering to repay all amounts under the Credit Facility pursuant to the Payoff

Letter, the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering would be $ per share, the increase in

the net tangible book value per share to existing shareholders would be $ per share, and the dilution to new

investors purchasing common stock in this offering would be $ per share.

The number of shares of common stock outstanding is based on 46,117,283 shares of common stock

outstanding as of September 30, 2025, which excludes the following:

•2,682,410 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of our

common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025, with a weighted-average exercise price of $10.91 per

share;

•5,447,592 shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting of RSUs outstanding as of September 30,

2025, including 3,052,331 shares issuable upon vesting of performance-based RSUs assuming achievement

of 100% of targets;

•56,865 shares of common stock issuable upon the vesting and settlement of RSUs granted subsequent to

September 30, 2025;

•4,830,207 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2019 Plan as of September

30, 2025;

•316,956 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2017 ESPP as of September 30,

2025; and

S-23

Table of Contents

•51,933 shares of common stock issued under our 2017 ESPP subsequent to September 30, 2025.

To the extent that outstanding options are exercised or outstanding RSUs vest and settle, you may experience

further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic

considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent

that we raise additional capital by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership will be further

diluted.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR

COMMON STOCK

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the ownership and

disposition of our common stock acquired in this offering by a "non-U.S. holder" (as defined below) but does not

purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon

the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), Treasury Regulations promulgated

thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed,

possibly retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below.

We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") with respect to

the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the

IRS or a court will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This summary addresses only non-U.S. holders that hold our common stock as a "capital asset" within the

meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This summary does not address the

tax considerations arising under the laws of any non-U.S., state or local jurisdiction, under U.S. federal gift and

estate tax rules or under any applicable tax treaty. In addition, this discussion does not address any potential

application of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income or any tax considerations applicable to an

investor's particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without

limitation:

•banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts or other

financial institutions;

•tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

•pension plans and tax-qualified retirement plans;

•"qualified foreign pension funds" as defined in Section 897(i)(2) of the Code and entities all of the interests

of which are held by qualified pension funds

•"controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies" and corporations that

accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

•brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;

•traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

•persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than 5% of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically

set forth below);

•U.S. expatriates and certain other former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

•partnerships (or entities or arrangements classified as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes), other

pass-through entities, and investors therein;

•persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

•persons who hold our common stock as a position in a hedging transaction, "straddle," "conversion

transaction" or other risk reduction transaction;

•persons who hold or receive our common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or

otherwise as compensation;

•persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to our

common stock being taken into account in an "applicable financial statement" as defined in Section 451(b)

of the Code; or

S-25

Table of Contents

•persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

In addition, if a partnership, entity or arrangement classified as a partnership or flow-through entity for U.S.

federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner or beneficial owner generally

will depend on the status of the partner or beneficial owner, the activities of the partnership or other entity, and

certain determinations made at the partner or beneficial owner level. A partner or beneficial owner in a partnership

or other such entity that will hold our common stock should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the tax

consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock through a partnership or other such

entity, as applicable.

You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax

laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our

common stock arising under the U.S. federal gift or estate tax rules or under the laws of any state, local, non-

U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable income tax treaty.

Non-U.S. Holder Defined

For purposes of this discussion, you are a "non-U.S. holder" if you are a beneficial owner of our common stock

that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is neither a "U.S. person" nor a partnership (including any entity or

arrangement treated as a partnership). A "U.S. person" is any person that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), created in or

organized under the laws of the United States, any state therein or the District of Columbia;

•an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•a trust (1) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and that has one or

more United States persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) who have the

authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) that has made a valid election under

applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Distributions

As described in "Dividend Policy," we have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and

we do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions on our

common stock (other than certain distributions of our common stock), those distributions will generally constitute

dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and

profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed both our

current and our accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will constitute a return of capital, which will first

reduce your adjusted tax basis in our common stock (determined separately with respect to each share of our

common stock), but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock as described below under

"- Gain on Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock."

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income and in "- Backup Withholding and Information

Reporting" and "- Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)," any dividend paid to you generally will be

subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as

may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding under an

applicable income tax treaty, you must provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form

W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form) certifying your entitlement for the reduced rate.

Under applicable Treasury Regulations, the applicable withholding agent may withhold up to 30% of the gross

amount of the entire distribution even if the amount constituting a dividend, as described above, is less than the

gross amount. If you are eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty

and do not timely provide the applicable withholding agent with such documentation, you may obtain a refund of

any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

S-26

Table of Contents

Dividends received by you that are treated as effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or

business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed

base maintained by you in the United States) are generally exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax,

subject to the discussions below under "- Backup Withholding and Information Reporting" and "- Foreign Account

Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)." In order to obtain this exemption, you must provide the applicable withholding

agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable or successor form) properly certifying such

exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, are taxed at

the same rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits, subject to an applicable income tax

treaty providing otherwise. In addition, if you are a corporate non-U.S. holder, dividends you receive that are

effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an income tax treaty applies, are

attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States) may also be subject

to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty

between the United States and your country of residence. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax

consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock, including any applicable tax treaties that may

provide for different rules.

Gain on Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock

Subject to the discussions below in "- Backup Withholding and Information Reporting" and "- Foreign Account

Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)," you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any

gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

•the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an applicable income

tax treaty so provides, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you

in the United States);

•you are an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or

more during the taxable year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or

•our common stock constitutes a United States real property interest ("USRPI") by reason of our status as a

"United States real property holding corporation" ("USRPHC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any

time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding your disposition of, or your holding period for, our

common stock, unless our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market and you

hold no more than 5% of our outstanding common stock (directly, indirectly or constructively), at all times,

during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the taxable disposition or your holding

period for our common stock.

We believe that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and

the remainder of this discussion so assumes. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC

depends on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our U.S. and worldwide real

property plus our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we currently are not a USRPHC or will not

become a USRPHC in the future. If we are a USRPHC and either our common stock is not regularly traded on an

established securities market or you hold, or are treated as holding, more than 5% of our outstanding common stock

(directly, indirectly or constructively) during the applicable testing period, you will generally be taxed on any gain in

the same manner as gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, except that the

branch profits tax generally will not apply. If we are a USRPHC and our common stock is not regularly traded on an

established securities market, your proceeds received on the disposition of shares will also generally be subject to

withholding at a rate of 15%. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the possible

consequences to you if we are, or were to become, a USRPHC.

If you are a non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above, you will be required to pay tax on the gain

derived from the sale (net of certain deductions and credits) under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates,

and a corporate non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above also may be subject to the branch profits tax at a

30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If you are an individual non-

U.S. holder described in the second bullet above, you will be subject to tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate

S-27

Table of Contents

specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale, which gain may be offset by U.S.

source capital losses for the year, provided you have timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such

losses. You should consult your tax advisor regarding any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide

for different rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Generally, the amount of dividends paid to you, your name and address and the amount of tax withheld, if any,

must be reported annually to the IRS. A similar report is required to be sent to you. Pursuant to applicable income

tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in your country of

residence.

Payments of dividends on or of proceeds from the disposition of our common stock made to you may also be

subject to backup withholding at a current rate of 24% unless you establish an exemption, for example, by properly

certifying your non-U.S. status on a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or another appropriate

version of IRS Form W-8. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any

distributions on our common stock paid to you, regardless of whether such distributions constitute dividends or

whether any tax was actually withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if the

applicable withholding agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that you are a U.S. person. In addition,

proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the United States or conducted through

certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting if the

applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or

reason to know that you are a U.S. person or you otherwise establish an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our

common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup

withholding or information reporting. Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made

available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which you

reside or are established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of U.S. federal taxes, a

refund or credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that

the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and official IRS guidance,

collectively "FATCA," generally impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on, and, subject to the

discussion of certain proposed Treasury Regulations below, the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of

our common stock, paid to a "foreign financial institution" (as specially defined under these rules), unless such

institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to, among other things, withhold on certain payments

and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding the U.S. account holders of

such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders

that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) or otherwise establishes an exemption. FATCA also generally imposes a

U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on and, subject to the discussion of certain proposed Treasury

Regulations below, the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock paid to a "non-financial

foreign entity" (as specially defined under these rules) unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a

certification identifying the substantial direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity, certifies that it does not have

any substantial U.S. owners or otherwise establishes an exemption. The withholding tax will apply regardless of

whether the payment otherwise would be exempt from U.S. nonresident and backup withholding tax, including

under the other exemptions described above. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for

refunds or credits of such taxes. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable

foreign country may modify the requirements described in this section. Prospective investors should consult with

their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of FATCA withholding to their investment in, and

ownership and disposition of, our common stock.

S-28

Table of Contents

The Treasury Secretary has issued proposed Treasury Regulations that, if finalized in their present form, would

eliminate withholding under FATCA with respect to payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of

our common stock. In the preamble to such proposed Treasury Regulations, the U.S. Treasury stated that taxpayers

may generally rely on the proposed Treasury Regulations until final regulations are issued.

The preceding discussion of U.S. federal tax considerations is for general information only. It is not tax

advice to investors in their particular circumstances. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax

advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of owning and

holding and disposing of our common stock, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable

laws.

UNDERWRITING

We are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus supplement through a number of

underwriters. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Mizuho Securities USA LLC are acting as joint book-running

managers for the offering and as representatives of the underwriters. We have entered into an underwriting

agreement with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Mizuho Securities USA LLC on behalf of the underwriters.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and

each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and

commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, the number of shares of common stock listed

next to its name in the following table:


Underwriter		Number of Shares
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC .................................................................................
Mizuho Securities USA LLC ................................................................................
Canaccord Genuity LLC .......................................................................................
Raymond James & Associates, Inc. ......................................................................
Total ......................................................................................................................

The underwriters are committed to purchase all the common stock offered by us if they purchase any shares.

The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-

defaulting underwriters may also be increased or the offering may be terminated.

The underwriters propose to offer the common stock directly to the public at the initial public offering price set

forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in

excess of $ per share. After the initial offering of the shares to the public, if all of the shares of common stock

are not sold at the initial public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling

terms. Sales of any shares made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriters.

The underwriters have an option to buy up to additional shares of common stock from us. The

underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement to exercise this option to purchase additional

shares. If any shares are purchased with this option to purchase additional shares, the underwriters will purchase

shares in approximately the same proportion as shown in the table above. If any additional shares of common stock

are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are

being offered.

The underwriting fee is equal to the public offering price per share of common stock less the amount paid by the

underwriters to us per share of common stock. The underwriting fee is $ per share. The following table shows the

per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters assuming both no exercise

and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.


	Paid by the Company
	No Exercise	Full Exercise
Per share .............................................................................................	$	$
Total ...................................................................................................	$	$

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees

and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be

approximately $ .

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or more

underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in the offering. The underwriters may agree to allocate

a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders.

S-30

Table of Contents

Internet distributions will be allocated by the representative of underwriters and selling group members that may

make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

We have agreed that, during the period commencing on and including the date of this prospectus supplement

and continuing through and including the 90th day following the date of this prospectus supplement, we will not,

directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters, (i) directly or

indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract

to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of our common

stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock or file any registration

statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing, (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or

any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of

our common stock, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by

delivery of our common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce an intention to

effect any such swap, agreement or other transaction described in clauses (i) and (ii). The foregoing sentence shall

not apply to (A) our shares of common stock to be sold in this offering; (B) any shares of our common stock issued

by us upon the exercise of an option or warrant, the settlement of any restricted stock unit or the conversion of a

convertible security outstanding on the date of this prospectus and referred to in this prospectus supplement or the

accompanying prospectus; (C) any shares of our common stock issued, options to purchase our common stock

granted, or restricted stock units granted by us pursuant to our existing employee benefit plans referred to in this

prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus; (D) any shares of our common stock issued by us pursuant

to any existing non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan referred to in this prospectus

supplement or the accompanying prospectus; (E) the filing by us of any registration statement on Form S-8 or a

successor form thereto; or (F) issuance of our common stock or related securities in connection with any merger,

joint venture, strategic alliances, commercial, lending or other collaborative or strategic transaction, or the

acquisition or license of the business, property, technology or other assets of another individual or entity or the

assumption of an employee benefit plan in connection with a merger or acquisition; provided that the aggregate

number of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock (on an as-converted or

as-exercised basis, as the case may be) that we may sell or issue or agree to sell or issue pursuant to this clause (F)

shall not exceed 5% of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately following

the completion of this offering (determined on a fully-diluted basis and as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends

and other similar events after the date hereof), and provided, further, that (i) each newly appointed director or

executive officer that is a recipient of any such shares of common stock or securities issued pursuant to clauses (C)

or (D) and (ii) the recipient of any such shares of common stock or securities issued pursuant to clause (E) during

the 90-day restricted period described above, shall enter into a lock-up agreement with the underwriters.

Our directors and executive officers (such persons, the "lock-up parties") have entered into lock-up agreements

with the underwriters prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which each lock-up party, during the

period beginning on the date of the lock-up agreement and ending on the date that is 90 days from the date of the

underwriting agreement (such period, the "restricted period"), may not (and may not cause any of their direct or

indirect affiliates to), without the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters, directly or

indirectly (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or

contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of our

common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock, whether now

owned or hereafter acquired by the lock-up party or with respect to which the lock-up party has or hereafter acquires

the power of disposition (collectively, the "lock-up securities"), or exercise any right with respect to the registration

of any of the lock-up securities, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith, under

the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) enter into any hedging, swap or any other agreement or any transaction

that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the lock-up

securities, whether any such hedging, swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of our common stock or other

securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the lock-up parties may transfer lock-up

securities without the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters, provided, in each case, that

(1) the representatives of the underwriters receive signed lock-up agreements for the balance of the restricted period

filing relates to the circumstances set forth in such clauses), and (4) the lock-up party does not otherwise voluntarily

effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers: (i) as bona fide gift(s) or charitable contribution(s); (ii) for

bona fide estate planning purposes or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the lock-up party or the

immediate family of the lock-up party (for purposes of the lock-up agreements, "immediate family" shall mean any

relationship by blood, marriage, domestic partner or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); (iii) as a

distribution or other transfer by a partnership to its partners or former partners or by a limited liability company to its

members or retired members or by a corporation to its stockholders or former stockholders or to any wholly-owned

subsidiary of such corporation; (iv) to the lock-up party's immediate family members or to any investment fund or

other entity controlled or managed by the lock-up party; (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or in

connection with a divorce settlement, divorce decree, separation agreement or other final order of a court or

regulatory agency; (vi) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the lock-up party; (vii)(a) to us in

satisfaction of any tax withholding or other remittance obligation through cashless surrender or (b) sales in an

amount not to exceed $3,045,000 to cover the tax liability associated with settlement of restricted stock units that

vest during the restricted period; or (viii) as part of a sale of the lock-up party's lock-up securities acquired in open

Furthermore, no provision in the lock-up agreements shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit (1) the transfer of

the lock-up party's failure to meet any vesting conditions set out upon issuance of such securities, provided that any

report shall be voluntarily made; (2)(a) the transfers to us in connection with the exercise or settlement exercise of

Table of Contents

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves

making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or

retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing

transactions may include making short sales of common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a

greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares

of common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be "covered" shorts,

which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares

referred to above, or may be "naked" shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount. The underwriters

may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional shares, in whole or

in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider,

among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the

underwriters may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares. A naked short position is more

likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the

common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent

that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the

position.

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in

other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of

penalty bids. This means that if the representative of the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in

stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representative can require the underwriters that sold those shares

as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or

preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common

stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence

these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the

Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

The underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and

other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in

the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or

hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and

financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such

investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The

underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent

research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they

acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of an automatic registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and

Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), using a shelf registration process as a "well-known seasoned issuer" as defined

in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Under this shelf registration

process, from time to time, we may offer and sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in

one or more offerings. There is no limit on the aggregate amount of the securities that we may offer pursuant to this

registration statement. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer.

Each time that we offer and sell any type or series of securities under this prospectus, we will provide a

prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the

specific terms of that offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you

that may contain material information relating to these offerings. The prospectus supplement or free writing

prospectuses may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency

between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, you

should rely on the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, as applicable. Before purchasing any securities,

you should carefully read this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing

prospectuses, together with the additional information described under the heading "Where You Can Find More

Information."

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, contains forward-

looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities

Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In some cases,

you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan,"

"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "will," "could," "project," "target," "potential," "continue" or the

negative of such terms and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters. We have based these

forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.

Forward-looking statements are based on management's belief and assumptions and on information currently

available to management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are

reasonable, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our

actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or

achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions based on

our current expectations and projections about future events and speak only as of the date of this prospectus. We

believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, but we cannot guarantee future

results, level of activity, performance or achievements.

Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these

forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date

of this prospectus to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations. There are important

factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from

the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements,

including those factors discussed under the caption entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for

the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and documents we have filed with the SEC thereafter. We maintain a

website at www.axogeninc.com that makes available, through a link to the SEC's EDGAR system website, our SEC

filings. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and you should

not consider information contained on our website as part of this prospectus.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and

circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that

the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,

performance, or achievements. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for

any reason after the date of this prospectus or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations,

except as required by law.

You should carefully read this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and any related free

writing prospectus, together with the information incorporated herein or therein by reference, and with the

understanding that our actual future results may materially differ from what we expect. We qualify all of our

forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
