On July 21, 2026, Allurion Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with RTW Master Fund, Ltd., RTW Innovation Master Fund, Ltd., RTW Biotech Opportunities Operating Ltd., and 4010 Royalty Investments ICAV (collectively, the "Stockholders"), pursuant to which the Stockholders agreed to exchange an aggregate of 392,766 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), for pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 392,766 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants"), on the terms set forth in the Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange").
The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, are exercisable at any time following issuance, and are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation initially set at 9.99% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (adjustable by the holder up to a maximum of 19.99% upon 61 days' prior written notice to the Company). Each Warrant will automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (i) foreclosure by the holders of the Company's Revenue Interest Financing Agreements, dated as of February 9, 2023 and October 30, 2024, as amended (the "RIFAs"), and the Company's 6% Convertible Secured Notes due 2031 (the "Notes"), on any of the collateral securing the RIFAs and the Notes, (ii) the Company's commencement of a voluntary case under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) the applicable holder's election to terminate its Warrant upon written notice to the Company.
The Stockholders are affiliates of RTW Investments, LP, which is also the holder of the RIFAs and the Notes described above. Affiliates of RTW Investments, LP beneficially owned approximately 38% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock prior to the Exchange. As the holder of the RIFAs and the Notes, RTW Investments, LP and its affiliates have the right, subject to the terms of those instruments, to determine whether and when to foreclose on the collateral securing them - an event that would, among other things, cause the Warrants to automatically terminate.
The Exchange was consummated in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis that it involved an exchange of the Company's securities exclusively with existing security holders, and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given, directly or indirectly, for soliciting the Exchange.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exchange Agreement, including the form of Warrant attached as Exhibit A thereto, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
