Allurion Technologies (ALUR) Risk Analysis

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, including the resale of shares held by various holders of our securities registered for resale, could occur at any time (after the expiration of any applicable lock-up period). These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of our common stock intend to sell shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of our common stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our common stock. In addition, on December 18, 2023, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Chardan Capital Markets ("Chardan") related to a "ChEF," Chardan's committed equity facility (the "Chardan Equity Facility"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Chardan shall purchase from us up to $100.0 million of shares of our common stock, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement. As of March 17 2026, we have sold 377,879 shares of our common stock to Chardan as Purchase Shares (as defined in the Chardan Purchase Agreement) under the Chardan Purchase Agreement, for aggregate net cash proceeds to us of approximately $1.8 million. . The resale, or expected or potential resale, of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our common stock and make it more difficult for stockholders to sell their holdings at times and prices that they determine are appropriate. Furthermore, we expect that, because there is a large number of shares of our common stock registered pursuant to various resale registration statements, the selling securityholders thereunder will continue to offer the securities covered thereby for a significant period of time, the precise duration of which cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the adverse market and price pressures resulting from an offering pursuant to the effective resale registration statements may continue for an extended period of time. Sales of a substantial number of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To raise capital, we may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner as determined by our Board from time to time. If we sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to the holders of our common stock.

Pursuant to our Investor Rights and Lock-up Agreement, dated August 1, 2023, by and among us, Compute Health Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), certain Legacy Allurion stockholders and certain other parties (the "Investors" and such agreement, the "Investor Rights Agreement"), the following persons have the following nomination rights with respect to our board of directors: (i) one director and one independent director to be nominated by Shantanu Gaur; (ii) one director and one independent director to be nominated by Remus Group Management, LLC and its affiliates ("Remus Capital"); (iii) one director to be nominated by the Sponsor; and (iv) two independent directors to be nominated by Allurion (one of whom shall be designated by RTW until such time as all obligations under the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement or any additional revenue interest financing agreement have been satisfied by Allurion). In addition, in September 2024, we appointed Keith Johns to our Board, in satisfaction of certain obligations to RTW set forth in the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, and in January 2025, we entered into the Omnibus Amendment pursuant to which RTW has the right to designate an additional director, initially R. Jason Richey, who was appointed to the Board effective as of December 30, 2024. As a result of the foregoing, Shantanu Gaur, Remus Capital, the Sponsor and RTW or their respective nominees to our Board collectively have the ability to control the appointment of our management, the entering into of mergers, sales of substantially all or all of our assets and other extraordinary transactions, and influence amendments to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("Charter") and Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Bylaws"). In any of these matters, the interests of the parties to the Investor Rights Agreement with the right to nominate directors may differ from or conflict with your interests. Moreover, this control over the nomination of directors to our Board may also adversely affect the trading price for our common stock to the extent investors perceive disadvantages in owning stock of a company with these corporate governance provisions.

We are "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 ("JOBS Act"), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("Section 404"), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparability of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, which allows us to take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of the shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, and (ii) our annual revenue exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year or the market value of the shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

The market for our securities may be highly volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance. An active public market for our securities may not develop or be sustained. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in Allurion will lead to the development of an active trading market in our common stock or how liquid that market might become. If an active market does not develop or is not sustained, or if we fail to satisfy the continued listing standards of the NYSE for any reason and our securities are delisted, it may be difficult for you to sell your securities at the time you wish to sell them, at a price that is attractive to you, or at all. An inactive trading market may also impair our ability to both raise capital by selling shares of capital stock, attract and motivate employees through equity incentive awards and acquire other companies, products or technologies by using shares of capital stock as consideration.

The trading market for our common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If few or no securities or industry analysts cover us, the trading price for our common stock would likely be negatively impacted. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price would likely decline. In addition, if our operating results fail to meet the forecast of analysts, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of Allurion or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which could cause our share price and trading volume to decline.

Provisions in our Charter and Bylaws may discourage, delay, or prevent a merger, acquisition, or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Because our Board is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team. Among others, these provisions include the following: - our Board is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms, which may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control;- our Board has the right to elect directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director, which will prevent stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;- our stockholders are not able to act by written consent, and as a result, a holder, or holders, controlling a majority of our shares are not be able to take certain actions other than at annual stockholders' meetings or special stockholders' meetings;- our Charter does not allow cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;- amendments of our Charter and Bylaws require the approval of stockholders holding 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting shares (unless amended by our board of directors);- our stockholders are required to provide advance notice and additional disclosures in order to nominate individuals for election to our board of directors or to propose matters that can be acted upon at a stockholders' meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Allurion; and - our Board is able to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred shares with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of our common stock intend to sell shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of our common stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our common stock. In January 2025, we issued and sold 841,751 shares of common stock to RTW for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.5 million at a purchase price per share of $2.97 per share. Also in January 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we issued and sold 1,240,000 shares of common stock and accompanying common warrants to purchase up to 1,240,000 shares at an offering price of $6.00 per share and accompanying common warrant. Similarly, in February 2025 we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we issued and sold 900,000 shares of common stock and accompanying common warrants to purchase up to 1,800,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $5.23 per share and accompanying common warrant. Concurrently, we issued and sold to an accredited investor affiliated with Leavitt Equity Partners LLC ("Leavitt") 267,686 shares of common stock and common warrants to purchase up to 535,372 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.4 million at a purchase price of $5.23 per share and accompanying private placement warrant. In November 2025 we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we issued and sold 2,994,012 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 2,994,012 shares of common stock at an offering price of $1.67 per share and accompanying warrant. Additionally, in February 2026, we entered into the Inducement Letter, where the Company agreed to amend the Existing Warrants by lowering the exercise price of the Existing Warrants to $1.15 per share. Additionally, the Exercising Holders agreed to exercise for cash certain of their Existing Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,659,565 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the Company's agreement to issue to such Exercising Holder New Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,319,130 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.15. While some of our securityholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price, public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices they paid and the trading price at the time of sale and may instead experience a negative rate of return on their investment. On March 17, 2026, the last quoted sale price for our common stock as reported on the OTC was 0.60 per share. Other than as described above, there are no lock-up, beneficial ownership or stock exchange restrictions that would prevent the foregoing stockholders from selling some or all of their common stock subject to compliance with applicable rules and regulations.

As of March 17, 2026, there were outstanding: (i) 13,206,720 Public Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 750,383 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $202.50 per share, (ii) 14,380 Rollover Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 14,380 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.50 per share to $303.50 per share outstanding, (iii) 662,701 July 2024 Public Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 662,701 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $11.42 per share, (iv) 90,407 Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 90,407 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $30.00 per share, (v) 375,001 January 2025 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 375,001 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, (vi) 544,356 February 2025 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 544,356 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.23 per share, (vii) 535,372 Leavitt Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 535,372 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.23 per share, (viii) 2,455,090 November 2025 Warrants to purchase an aggregate 2,455,090 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.67, and (ix) 5,319,130 New Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 5,319,130 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.15. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of our common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of our common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, the impact of which increases as the value of our stock price increases.

Due to the significant number of redemptions of Compute Health Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination, there was a significantly lower number of shares of Compute Health Class A common stock that converted into shares of our common stock in connection with the Business Combination. As a result, the shares of our common stock previously registered for resale are anticipated to constitute a considerable percentage of our public float. Additionally, a significant portion of the shares of our common stock registered for resale were purchased by securityholders pursuant to investments in Legacy Allurion that date from 2013 through the closing of the Business Combination at prices considerably below the current market price of our common stock. This discrepancy in purchase prices may have an impact on the market perception of our common stock's value and could increase the volatility of the market price of our common stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our common stock. The registration of these shares for resale creates the possibility of a significant increase in the supply of our common stock in the market. The increased supply, coupled with the potential disparity in purchase prices, may lead to heightened selling pressure, which could negatively affect the public trading price of our common stock. The exercise prices of the warrants, in certain circumstances, may be higher than the prevailing market price of our underlying common stock and the cash proceeds to us associated with the exercise of such warrants are contingent upon our stock price. The value of our common stock may fluctuate and may not exceed the exercise price of the existing warrants at any given time. As of December 31, 2025, all of our Public Warrants, each of which has an exercise price of $202.50 per share, our July 2024 Public Warrants, each of which has an exercise price of $6.00 or $30.00 per share, our January 2025 Warrants, each which has an exercise price of $6.00 per share, our February 2025 Warrants, each which has an exercise price of $5.23 per share, our Leavitt Private Placement Warrants, each which has an exercise price of $5.23 per share, and our November 2025 Warrants, each of which has an exercise price of $1.67 per share, are "out of the money," meaning the exercise price is higher than the market price of our common stock. As of December 31, 2025, 893 Rollover Warrants have been exercised. Of the 14,380 Rollover Warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2025, 11,446 of such warrants (2,231 of which have an exercise price of $26.25, 392 of which have an exercise price of $28.25, 5,203 of which have an exercise price of $168.25, and 3,620 of which have an exercise price of $303.50) are "out of the money." Holders of such "out of the money" warrants are not likely to exercise such warrants. There can be no assurance that such warrants will be in the money prior to their respective expiration dates, and therefore, we may not receive any cash proceeds from the exercise of such warrants.

In connection with the Business Combination, we assumed our Public Warrants to purchase up to 750,383 shares of our common stock (which were originally issued as warrants to purchase shares of Compute Health Class A common stock in connection with Compute Health's IPO) and Rollover Warrants to purchase up to 14,380 shares of our common stock (which were originally issued as warrants to purchase shares of Legacy Allurion Common Stock and Legacy Allurion Preferred Stock). Additionally, in July 2024 we issued the July 2024 Public Warrants to purchase up to 662,701 shares of our common stock and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase up to 90,407 shares of our common stock. In January 2025 we issued the January 2025 Warrants to purchase up to 1,240,000 shares of our common stock. In February we issued the February 2025 Warrants to purchase up to 1,800,000 shares of common stock and February 2025 Private placement warrants to purchase up to 535,372 shares of common stock. We evaluated the accounting treatment of such warrants and determined to classify certain of such warrants as liabilities measured at fair value. The fair value of such warrants is remeasured on a quarterly basis with changes in the estimated fair value recorded in Other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on such warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could materially impact or cause volatility in our financial results. For example, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the total value of the liability associated with the Public Warrants was $13.8 million measured at fair value based on the Public Warrant quoted price. However, at December 31, 2025, the fair value of the liability associated with the Public Warrants was determined to be $0.2 million.

In connection with the Business Combination, holders of Legacy Allurion common stock and Legacy Allurion preferred stock and holders of vested options, warrants and restricted stock units exercisable or convertible into Legacy Allurion capital stock received the contingent right to receive additional shares of our common stock (the Shares") upon the achievement of certain targets. We evaluated the accounting treatment of our Shares and determined to classify such shares as liabilities measured at fair value. The fair value of such shares is remeasured on a quarterly basis over the period with changes in the estimated fair value recorded in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize gains or losses on our Shares each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could materially impact or cause volatility in our financial results. For example, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the fair value of the liability associated with the Earn-Out Shares was initially valued and recorded as $53.0 million. However, at December 31, 2025, the fair value of the liability associated with the Earn-Out Shares was determined to be less than $0.1 million.

Our Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery (the "Chancery Court") of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) and any appellate court thereof will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of, or a claim based on, a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, or other employees or stockholders to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Charter or our Bylaws (including the interpretation, validity or enforceability thereof) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine; provided, however, that the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of our Bylaws as described above. Additionally, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such Securities Act claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; however, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision, and investors cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. These provisions may limit or increase the difficultly in a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors and officers, or may increase the cost for such stockholder to bring a claim, both of which may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies' certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any applicable action brought against us, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

On March 2, 2026, we received a letter (the "Delisting Notice") from the staff of the NYSE indicating the Company did not meet certain of the Exchange's continued listing standards as set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires listed companies to maintain either (i) at least $50 million in stockholders' equity or (ii) at least $50 million in total market capitalization on a 30-trading day average basis and that the Exchange will be commencing delisting proceedings. This Delisting Notice came at the end of an 18-month period during which the Company was trying to remediate this market capitalization requirement. The Company appealed this determination and is seeking a review by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the Exchange (the "Committee"). On March 6, 2026, we received a second letter from the NYSE indicating it has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company's Common Stock, and warrants to purchase 0.056818 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $202.50 per share of Common Stock, as a result of the Company's non-compliance with Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that requires listing companies to maintain an average global market capitalization of at least $15 million over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Trading in the Company's securities on the NYSE was suspended after market close on March 6, 2026. The Company has also appealed this delisting determination and expects a hearing with the Committee. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our appeal or otherwise cure the deficiencies with the NYSE's listing standards. If the Company is unsuccessful in its appeal, the Company expects the NYSE will file a Form 25 with the SEC, which would result in the delisting of the Company's Common Stock and Warrants from the NYSE on the tenth day after the Form 25 is filed. The suspension of trading of our securities on the NYSE, or a permanent delisting of our securities from the NYSE, could negatively impact us as it could negatively impact investors' perception of our Company and our securities. Securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange typically experience lower trading volumes, wider bid-ask spreads, and greater price volatility. As a result, this may have a negative impact on the trading price of our common stock, and investors may find it more difficult to buy or sell our securities at desired prices or at all. Reduced liquidity may also impair our ability to raise capital on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, not trading on a national exchange may limit interest from institutional investors, analysts, and other market participants, which could further depress the market price of our securities and restrict our access to equity or debt financing.
