Meta Healthcare Group in an all-cash transaction valued at $20 million, subject to a customary working capital adjustment (the “Transaction”).
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Meta Healthcare Group will acquire Meta, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company, containing the
Company’s portfolio of hair restoration and hair transplant technologies, related equipment, services and assets, including intellectual property relating to the ARTAS and NeoGraft technologies (the “Venus Hair Business”).

for a transaction of this type. The Company has also agreed not to solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions with respect to
the Venus Hair Business, subject to certain exceptions that permit the Company’s Board of Directors to comply with its fiduciary duties.
The Transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including,
without limitation: an internal reorganization of the Venus Hair Business within Meta; governmental and regulatory approvals; required consents, including those of certain customers, suppliers and those required pursuant to the Republic of Korea
