Merger with Corvex, Inc.
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger
On March 19, 2026, Movano Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Movano” or the “Company”), acquired Corvex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Corvex”), in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 19, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Movano, Thor Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Movano (“Merger Sub”), and Corvex. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Corvex, pursuant to which Corvex was the surviving corporation and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Movano (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the prior merger agreement between the parties which was entered into and announced on November 6, 2025. The Merger is intended to constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Following the Merger, Movano will be renamed Corvex, Inc., effective March 23, 2026, as further described in Item 5.03 below.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), Movano issued to the securityholders of Corvex (i) 240.562 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis, represented no more than 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Movano’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) 23,551.5195 shares of Series C Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) and 30,227.0524 shares of Series D Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”).
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 1,000 shares of Common Stock on March 31, 2026, which is the business day following the March 30, 2026 record date of the Stock Dividend (as defined herein). Subject to and contingent upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders of Company to approve, for purposes of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the stockholders of Corvex upon conversion, (1) each share of Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 1,000 shares of Common Stock and (2) each share of Series D Preferred Stock will be convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock. Reference is made to the discussion of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company today announced a stock dividend payable to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock of 0.358 share of Common Stock for every share of outstanding Common Stock (collectively, the “Stock Dividend”).
The Stock Dividend will be issuable to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2026 and will be distributed and allocated on April 6, 2026. Resulting fractional shares will be rounded down and any remaining fractional shares will be distributed in cash to each stockholder.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to submit the following matters to its stockholders for their consideration at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders to be held by May 31, 2026 (the “Stockholders’ Meeting”): (i) the approval of the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 (the “Conversion Proposal”), (ii) the issuance of the underlying Common Stock upon exercise of Corvex options issued and outstanding prior to the Closing, (iii) the election of Jay Crystal as a Class III director to fill the vacancy created by Shaheen Wirk’s resignation pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (iv) the election of two Class II directors, (v) the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026, (vi) the approval of the Corvex, Inc. 2026 Employee Incentive Plan and (vii) the approval of the Corvex, Inc. 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the proposals to be submitted at the Stockholders’ Meeting, collectively, the “Meeting Proposals”).
1
The board of directors of Movano (the “Board”) approved the Merger Agreement and the related transactions, and the Closing was not subject to approval by Movano’s stockholders.
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors and securityholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Movano or Corvex. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that Movano and Corvex made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement between Movano and Corvex and may be subject to important qualifications or limitations agreed to by Movano and Corvex in connection with negotiating its terms, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to investors or securityholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between Movano and Corvex rather than establishing matters as facts, and information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement.
Support Agreements
As previously disclosed, concurrently and in connection with the execution of the initial merger agreement on November 6, 2025 (the “Initial Merger Agreement”), the directors, officers and certain stockholders of Movano (solely in their capacity as stockholders of Movano) entered into support agreements with Corvex (the “Support Agreements”), which remain in place. Additionally, in connection with the Merger, the holders of all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Movano have entered into Support Agreements on substantially the same terms entered in connection with the Initial Merger Agreement. The Support Agreements provide certain restrictions on the transfer of shares of Movano held by the signatories thereto and include covenants as to the voting of such shares in favor of approving the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and against any actions that could adversely affect the consummation of the Merger.
A copy of the Form of Support Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Support Agreement.
Lock-Up Agreements
Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the directors, officers and certain stockholders of Movano and the directors, officers and substantially all stockholders of Corvex have entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”) pursuant to which, and subject to specified exceptions, they have agreed not to transfer their shares of Movano Common Stock until 180 days following the Closing.
A copy of the Form of Lock-Up Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Lock-Up Agreement.

Loan Agreement
As previously disclosed, on November 3, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to that certain Loan Agreement and Promissory Note with Evie Holdings LLC (“Lender”), dated August 6, 2025 (the “Loan Agreement”). The First Amendment provided for an extension of the maturity date of the Loan Agreement to November 5, 2025. On November 6, 2025, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment provided for an extension of the maturity date of the Loan Agreement to March 31, 2026 in exchange for Movano’s agreeing that upon any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the Company’s assets prior to the Closing, it would be obligated to repay the $1.5 million principal of the Loan Agreement, plus any other outstanding obligations plus a $3.0 million repayment premium. On March 19, 2026, the Company and Lender entered into a third amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). Under the Third Amendment, the maturity date of the Loan Agreement was extended to June 30, 2026.
The foregoing description of the Third Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On October 1, 2025, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) and served as an additional basis of delisting before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2025, the Company reported a stockholders’ equity of approximately $1.637 million and, as a result, does not satisfy the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
On August 19, 2025, a hearing was held before the Panel. On December 18, 2025, the Panel granted the Company an extension until March 30, 2026, to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. As a result of this transaction, as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has stockholders’ equity in excess of $2.5 million as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505(b)(1). The Company is awaiting formal determination from Nasdaq that it has regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, in the Merger to the Corvex securityholders.

Such issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

In connection therewith, Mr. Leabman also resigned from his position as Chief Technology Officer of Movano. Mr. Leabman’s and Mr. Wirk’s resignations were not the result, in whole or in part, of any disagreement with Movano or its management relating to Movano’s operations, policies or practices.

Appointment of Directors
In accordance with the Merger Agreement, on March 19, 2026, effective immediately upon the effective time of the Merger, Seth Demsey was appointed to the Board as a Class I director.
Seth Demsey has served as the Co-Founder and a director of Corvex. He has spent nearly three decades architecting and operating high-impact AI/ML and developer platforms across startups and industry leaders including NASA, Microsoft, Google, and AOL/Yahoo!.

Cash Compensation
Under the Director Compensation Policy, each non-employee director of the Company will receive annual cash retainers, payable quarterly in arrears and prorated for partial years of service, and equity awards as set forth below:

A non-employee director who serves as the non-executive chair of the Board, or if there is no non-executive chair of the Board, the lead independent director, will receive the annual fee as a non-employee director and the additional annual fee as the non-executive chair. All cash payments to outside directors are paid quarterly in arrears on a pro-rated basis.

Non-employee directors will be entitled to receive all types of equity awards other than incentive stock options under the Company’s 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (subject to approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company), including discretionary awards not covered under the Director Compensation Policy. Under the Director Compensation Policy, on the first trading day following December 31 of each year, each non-employee director will be granted an award to purchase an aggregate value of $135,000 of shares of the Common Stock, on a pro-rated basis, with such number subject to equitable adjustment by the Board in the event of certain capitalization adjustments (the “Annual Award”). The exercise price per share of such awards shall be the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date. The Annual Award will be scheduled to vest in full on the first anniversary of the date on which the Annual Award is granted, subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a non-employee director through the applicable vesting date. Any RSUs granted to a non-employee director that resigns or is not re-elected after expiration of his or her term will become vested through the date of termination of service.
If a change in control occurs, each non-employee director will fully vest in his or her outstanding equity awards immediately prior to the change in control, subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a non-employee director through the date of the change in control.
Non-employee directors may also be eligible to receive other compensation and benefits, as may be determined by the Board or any committee of the Board designated by the Board with appropriate authority, as applicable, from time to time.
The Board or any committee of the Board designated by the Board with appropriate authority, as applicable and in its discretion, may change and revise the terms of the Annual Awards granted under the Director Compensation Policy, including, without limitation, the number of shares subject to each award and type of award.
The foregoing description of the Director Compensation Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Director Compensation Policy, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
