Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On September 18, 2023, Odeon Capital Group LLC (“Odeon”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, alleging that the Company failed to pay Odeon’s deferred underwriting fee of $1.25 million. Odeon claims that it served as the underwriter for Priveterra Acquisition Corp., the special purpose acquisition company with which Old AEON merged with and into in July 2023. Odeon seeks monetary damages for the full amount of its claimed underwriting fee, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other amounts. In November 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss certain claims included in Odeon’s complaint. In April 2024, the Company successfully obtained a dismissal of Odeon’s non-breach of contract claims, including the tort claims, breach of covenant claim and associated punitive damages claim. Odeon’s breach of contract claim is proceeding, with each party filing a summary judgment motion in March 2025, which the court is expected to decide upon in the coming months.
