Risk Change Over Time
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1Our ability to use our net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to future limitations.
As of December 31, 2025, we had federal net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards of $370.9 million, which may be available to offset future taxable income, of which $74.0 million expire at various dates beginning in 2030, while the remaining $296.9 million do not expire but are limited in their usage to an annual deduction equal to 80% of taxable income. As of December 31, 2025, we had state NOL carryforwards of $261.6 million, which may be available to offset future taxable income and expire at various dates beginning in 2030. As of December 31, 2025, we also had U.S. federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $7.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, available to offset future tax liabilities. Our U.S. federal research and development tax credit carry forwards expire at various dates beginning in 2026. A portion of our NOL and tax credit carryforwards could expire unused if we do not generate sufficient federal and state taxable income prior to their expiration. In addition, a corporation that undergoes an "ownership change," generally defined in Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as a greater than 50% change by value in its equity ownership over a three-year period, is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs and its research and development credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income. Our existing NOLs and research and development credit carryforwards may be subject to limitations arising from future ownership changes. Our NOLs and credits may also become impaired under state law. For these reasons, if an ownership change occurs, or in the event we experience a change of control, we may not be able to utilize a portion of the NOLs and research and development credit carryforwards.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 75
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our restated articles of organization designate the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts (or, if and only if the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts lacks jurisdiction, another state or federal court located within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our shareholders, which could discourage lawsuits against us and our directors and officers.
Our restated articles of organization designate the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts (or, if and only if the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts lacks jurisdiction, another state or federal court located within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) as the sole and exclusive forum for any action under Massachusetts statutory or common law: brought derivatively on our behalf, asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our shareholders, asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act or asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases subject to the court's having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. In addition, our restated articles of organization provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our common stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing provisions. This provision will not apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Additionally, this exclusive forum provision may limit the ability of our shareholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such shareholders find favorable for disputes with us or our directors or officers, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors and officers. Alternatively, if the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts or a court outside of Massachusetts were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings described above, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other venues or jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and prospects.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2We have adopted anti-takeover provisions in our restated articles of organization and amended and restated bylaws and are subject to provisions of Massachusetts law that may frustrate any attempt to remove or replace our current board of directors or to effect a change of control or other business combination involving our company.
Our restated articles or organization and amended and restated bylaws and certain provisions of Massachusetts law may discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of our company that might be beneficial to us or our security holders. For example, our amended and restated bylaws grant the chairperson presiding over any meetings of shareholders the right to adjourn such meeting. Our board of directors also may issue shares of any class or series of preferred stock in the future without shareholder approval and upon such terms as our board of directors may determine. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be harmed by, the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Massachusetts state law also prohibits us from engaging in specified business combinations unless the combination is approved or consummated in a prescribed manner. These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of our company or changes in our management.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3If securities or industry analysts issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our business or do not publish research or publish unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts or activist investors or other third parties publish about us or our business. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, or if activist investors continue to, our business model or our stock performance, or if our operating results fail to meet the expectations of the investor community, one or more of the analysts who cover our company may change their recommendations regarding our company, and our stock price could decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile and could subject us to securities class action litigation.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the price per share of our common stock has ranged from as low as $55.00 to as high as $156.00. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include: - price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market;- volatility in the market price and trading volume of comparable companies;- actual or anticipated changes in our earnings or fluctuations in our operating results or in the expectations of securities analysts;- results of post-approval studies or clinical trials relating to next generation products for the OCS or competing products;- failure or discontinuation of any of our product development and research programs;- regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries, including changes in the healthcare payment systems;- results or changes in the status of, or developments relating to, applications for regulatory approvals or clearances for the OCS or competing products;- our announcements or our competitors' announcements of new products, procedures or therapies;- departure of key personnel;- litigation involving us or that may be perceived as having an adverse effect on our business;- developments or disputes concerning patent applications, issued patents or other proprietary rights;- market conditions in the medical device and biotechnology sectors;- changes in general economic, industry and market conditions and trends;- investors' general perception of us; and - sales of large blocks of our stock. The market for medical device and biotechnology companies, in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to changes in the operating performance of the companies whose stock is experiencing those price and volume fluctuations. Because of the potential volatility of our stock price, we may become the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources from our business.
