Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2025. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective based on the material weaknesses discussed in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting described below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures which (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets, (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorization of management and the directors of the issuer, and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our management and our independent auditors identified material weaknesses in the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which remained unremediated as of December 31, 2025. The material weaknesses identified by our management and our independent auditors relate to (i) a lack of appropriately designed, implemented and documented procedures and controls, and (ii) deficiencies in the segregation of duties.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, under the oversight of our Board, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025, as a result of the material weaknesses described above.
Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness
Management has initiated a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses described above. This plan includes formally documenting policies, processes, risks, and controls, and reviewing the design and operating effectiveness of key and non-key controls. Testing of operating effectiveness has commenced, and remediation actions are progressing as planned. Segregation of duties has been enhanced across the control environment and financial reporting systems through system automation, strengthened month-end controls, and strengthened month-end review procedures.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we implemented changes to our internal control over financial reporting to remediate the material weaknesses disclosed in our prior filings. These remediation activities included enhancements to our control environment, improvements to process-level controls, and updates to documentation and oversight procedures. Management is currently validating and testing the operating effectiveness of these enhanced controls.
While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the design and implementation of our remediation is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as oversight by the Audit and Risk Committee. We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the ongoing remediation plans described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm
This Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to an exemption established by the JOBS Act for EGCs.
Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
Board of Directors
Our Board oversees the management of the business and affairs of the Company and serves as the ultimate decision-making body of the Company, except for those matters reserved to our stockholders. Our Board oversees the Company’s management team, to whom it has delegated responsibility for the Company’s day-to-day operations. While our Board’s oversight role is broad and may concentrate on different areas from time to time, its primary areas of focus are strategy, oversight, governance and compliance, as well as assessing management.
Our Charter and Bylaws provide for a classified Board. There are three classes of directors, with each class of directors serving three-year terms that end in successive years. We currently have authorized five directors. Our Charter and Bylaws do not limit the number of terms a member may be re-elected as a director. The following table provides the names, ages and positions of our directors as of February 25, 2026.

Our directors bring a range of skills and experience in relevant areas, including finance strategy, marketing, Biomedical Technology, global health care, public company director experience, corporate finance and capital investment and global/international corporate experience. We believe this cross-section of capabilities enables our Board to help guide our objectives and leading corporate governance practices. More detailed biographical descriptions of each director is set forth below.
John Seaberg
John Seaberg has been Chairman of our Board since March 2017 and a director since October 2014, in each case taking into account positions held with ATPL. Additionally, Mr. Seaberg has been serving as Chair of the board of directors of Preceptis Medical Inc since 2016 and Phraxis Medical Inc since 2009.

Mr. Seaberg holds a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communications from the University of Minnesota and an MBA from the Carlson School of Management, also at the University of Minnesota. We believe that Mr. Seaberg’s qualifications to serve as a director include his extensive finance, leadership and industry experience and his tenure as a director of the Company.

Mr. Moss serves as Chief Business and Legal Officer, as well as Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer of Evommune, Inc., a clinical stage biotechnology company dedicated to chronic inflammatory diseases.

Board Committees

reviewing and recommending our corporate governance guidelines and policies;
•
reviewing proposed waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors and executive officers;
•
overseeing the process of evaluating the performance of our Board; and

Process for Nominating Potential Director Candidates
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening and interviewing individuals qualified to become members of our Board and recommending qualified candidates for election by the stockholders consistent with the criteria set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. In recommending nominees for director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates who have a high level of personal and professional integrity, strong ethics and values and the ability to make mature business judgments. Additional criteria that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board may consider are:
•
the candidate’s experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company;
•
the candidate’s experience as a board member of another publicly held company, including those dual-listed in the United States and Australia;
•
the candidate’s professional and academic experience relevant to the Company’s industry;
•
the strength of the candidate’s leadership skills;
•
the candidate’s experience in finance and accounting and/or executive compensation practices;
•
whether the candidate has the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at Board meetings and committee meetings, if applicable; and
•
the viewpoints, background, experience and other characteristics.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers all candidates equally. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the background and qualifications of each nominee to ensure that our Board has the requisite expertise and that its membership consists of persons with sufficiently diverse and independent backgrounds (taking into account the enhanced independence, financial literacy and financial expertise standards that may be required under law, Nasdaq rules or the 4 th Edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (“ASX Operating Rules”).
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee values the input of stockholders in identifying director candidates. Accordingly, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a specific policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers recommendations for Board candidates submitted by stockholders using substantially the same criteria as it applies to recommendations from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, directors and members of management. Any such nominations should be submitted to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in compliance with the procedural requirements set forth in our Bylaws.

Board Leadership Structure
The current Chairman of our Board is John Seaberg, who is an independent director under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and for the purposes of the ASX Operating Rules. The roles of Chairman of our Board and Chief Executive Officer are separate. Our Board believes that the separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus primarily on our business strategy, operations, and corporate vision.
Risk Oversight
While management is responsible for assessing and managing risks to the Company on a day-to-day basis, our Board oversees management’s efforts to assess and manage risk. Our Board (in conjunction particularly with the Audit and Risk Committee) monitors and receives advice on areas of operational and financial risk and considers strategies for appropriate risk management arrangements. Specific areas of risk which are periodically considered at meetings of our Board include financial management, information technology, people and culture, intellectual property, regulatory (medical), legal, manufacturing, legal and organizational transformation. Additional areas of focus for our Board include, but are not limited to:
•
managing the Company’s long-term growth;
•
strategic and operational planning, including significant acquisitions and the evaluation of the Company’s capital structure; and
•
legal and regulatory compliance.
More broadly, risks are considered in virtually every business decision and process and as part of the Company’s overall business strategy. While our Board has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the Company’s risk management policies and processes, the committees of our Board also have responsibility for risk oversight. As noted above, the Company’s Audit and Risk Committee assists our Board in overseeing our risk assessment and management processes related to, among other things, our financial reports and record-keeping, financial risk exposures, and cybersecurity risk, and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our compensation policies and practices, including policies providing for the recovery of incentive or equity-based compensation and limiting hedging activities related to Company stock. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for risk oversight associated with corporate governance practices, the composition of our Board and its committees, and environmental, social and governance matters.
Our Board stays informed of each committee’s risk oversight and other activities via regular reports of the committee chairs to the full Board. Our Board’s role in risk oversight is consistent with the Company’s leadership structure, with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company’s risk exposure, and our Board and committees providing oversight in connection with those efforts.
Board and Committee Meetings and Attendance
Directors are expected to make every effort to attend all meetings of our Board and all meetings of the committees on which they serve. During fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our Board had 8 Board meetings, our Audit and Risk Committee had 4 meetings, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee had no meetings and our Compensation Committee had 5 meetings. During such period, each member of our Board attended at 100% of all Board and relevant committee meetings held during the period in which such director served.
Additional Board Information
Each committee is at all times authorized under its charter to have direct, independent and confidential access to our other directors, management and personnel to carry out the committee’s purposes. Each committee is authorized to conduct or authorize investigations into any matters relating to the purposes, duties or responsibilities of the committee.
Each committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of legal counsel, compensation or other consultants and other advisers. We must provide for appropriate funding, as determined by each committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to any legal counsel, compensation or other consultant or other adviser retained by the committee.

None of our executive officers currently serve, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of our Board and on the compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee.
Insider Trading and Securities Dealing Policy
We have adopted an Insider Trading and Securities Dealing Policy, which promotes compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations and the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Additionally, the policy prohibits officers, directors, and employees from engaging in short sales, publicly-traded options, or hedging transactions such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds or through other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our securities. Our officers, directors, and employees are also prohibited from including our securities in a margin account or pledging our securities as collateral for a loan.

Stockholder Communications
Any stockholder or other interested party who wishes to communicate with our Board or any individual director may send written communications to our Board or such director, care of Anteris Technologies Global Corp., Toowong Tower, Level 3, Suite 302, 9 Sherwood Road, Toowong QLD 4066, Australia, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Our Corporate Secretary will not forward communications that are not relevant to the duties and responsibilities of our Board. Our Board will generally respond, or cause us to respond, in writing to bona fide communications from stockholders addressed to one or more members of our Board.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
The rules of the SEC require that the Company disclose late filings of reports of stock ownership (and changes in stock ownership) by its directors, executive officers, and beneficial owners of more than ten percent of the Company’s stock. The Company has undertaken responsibility for preparing and filing the stock ownership forms required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, on behalf of its officers and directors. Based upon a review of forms filed and information provided by the Company’s officers and directors, we believe that all Section 16(a) reporting requirements were met during fiscal year 2025.

(1)
The amounts represent the actual salary paid during the fiscal year. Variances from the prior year are due to (i) timing of base salary adjustments effective December 16, 2024, (ii) movements in annual leave accruals and payouts, and (iii) foreign exchange fluctuations, where applicable. Base salary rates for each NEO did not otherwise change during the fiscal year. The amounts reported in this column for Mr. McDonnell for 2025 and 2024 are presented in USD using exchange rates which averaged over the relevant year to approximately A$1.00 to $0.64 and A$1.00 to $0.65, respectively.

Please refer to note 15 to the company’s consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the assumptions made in the valuation of stock and option awards under FASB ASC Topic 718. For fiscal year 2025, the “Stock Awards” column reflects the grant date fair value of an award (contingently granted on December 16, 2024) of 1,000,000 restricted stock units granted on December 3, 2025 after stockholder approval received on the same date.

Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with each of our NEOs. The material terms of the employment agreements are described below.

The McDonnell Contract includes non-competition, non-solicitation, intellectual property, and confidentiality provisions.
Short-Term Incentive Compensation
Compensation for individuals is linked to our performance as well as the performance and contribution of the individual. Incentive payments are dependent on defined corporate and individual key performance targets being met. Incentive payments for the NEOs and for our broader company are at the discretion of our Board and the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee believes the setting of key corporate and individual key performance targets which are aligned to the corporate strategy, will drive the development, performance and position of our company. The Compensation Committee expects that this will drive increased stockholder returns going forward.
2025 STI Bonuses
The NEOs’ 2025 short-term incentive (“STI”) bonus performance targets were based on a percentage of their base salaries with the actual incentive dependent on certain company and individual performance conditions being satisfied. 2025 STI targets were based on a combination of financial,
capital and strategic objectives. These included adjusted EBITDA
(earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization), a capital
position target including capital transaction(s), and achievement of key
strategic objectives. The strategic objectives for 2025 included milestones
related to the approval and enrollment of the Global Pivotal Registration
Trial, as well as share‑price performance.

Wayne Paterson
Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

David St Denis

Matthew McDonnell

In early 2026, the Compensation Committee reviewed performance against the 2025 STI performance targets and considered the results achieved during the year, including significant operational and strategic progress. In particular, the Committee considered Mr. Paterson’s significant leadership role and achievements in advancing capital‑related matters during 2025 and for the significant contributions of Messrs. Paterson and St Denis in advancing and initiating the Global Pivotal Registration Trial. Based on this assessment, Messrs. Paterson and St Denis were each awarded an STI bonus equal to 120% of their respective target 2025 STI opportunity. Mr. McDonnell was awarded an STI bonus equal to 100% of his target 2025 STI opportunity, in each case payable in March 2026 based on the salary levels in effect at the time of payment.
Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards
The Compensation Committee approves equity awards granted to the NEOs on or before the grant date. The Compensation Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of such equity awards, which, for our CEO, are also subject to approval by our stockholders in accordance with the requirements of the ASX. We have not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. In 2025, we did not award any stock options to the NEOs during any period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or the filing or furnishing of a current report on Form 8-K disclosing material non-public information and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report with the SEC.

Executive Equity-Based Compensation
During 2024, the Company granted 300,000 options to Mr. Paterson with an exercise price of $14.64, pursuant to stockholder approval, which vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of June 19, 2024, subject to Mr. Paterson’s continued employment through each vesting date. The above quoted exercise price has been translated from AUD using the spot exchange rate on the date of the Reorganization which was approximately A$1.00 to $0.64.
In connection with our IPO in 2024, priced at $6.00 per share, each NEO received an award of restricted stock units under the Equity Plan (as defined below), which vests annually over a three-year period. Vesting of such awards will accelerate upon a termination of employment following a change in control. The NEOs received the following number of restricted stock units: Mr. Paterson, 1,000,000; Mr. St Denis, 500,000; and Mr. McDonnell, 83,333. Because Mr. Paterson’s restricted stock units were subject to stockholder approval, his award is considered granted for purposes of this disclosure on December 3, 2025 following approval by stockholders. No equity awards were otherwise granted to the NEOs in 2025.
Equity Compensation Plans
The Company has two historic long-term incentive plans from which no further options or awards will be issued, which were assumed by the Company in connection with the Reorganization:
●
the Admedus Ltd (now known as “n/k/a” ATGC) Employee Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2017 Incentive Plan”), which was approved by stockholders in November 2017; and
●
the Employee Incentive Plan (the “2020 Incentive Plan”).
Under each plan, certain eligible participants could receive ordinary shares, options or rights. The vesting of shares, options or rights may be subject to the satisfaction of service-based conditions and performance hurdles which, when satisfied, will allow eligible participants to receive shares or vested options or rights which are exercisable over shares or CDIs.
Anteris Technologies Global Corp. Equity Incentive Plan
The Company has adopted the Anteris Technologies Global Corp. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) for purposes of granting options in the Company and other awards based on the shares of the Company to employees and other service providers of the Company. The following is a summary of the material terms of the Equity Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Equity Plan, which was filed as exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1, filed with the SEC on December 9, 2024.
Purpose of the Equity Plan
The purpose of the Equity Plan is to permit award grants to non-employee directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and certain consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries, and to provide to such persons incentives and rewards for service and/or performance.
Administration of the Equity Plan
The Equity Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board or a subcommittee thereof (the “Administrator”). The Administrator has the power to interpret and construe the Equity Plan and is authorized to take any action it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate, subject to the express limitations contained in the Equity Plan.
Number of Authorized Shares
The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) which may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards granted under the Equity Plan will not exceed, in the aggregate, 5,163,023 shares of Common Stock (the “Share Limit”). The Share Limit will be increased by 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis on the last day of the preceding fiscal year on the first day of each fiscal year, for a period of ten years commencing in the first fiscal year following the effective date of the Equity Plan. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock actually issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of incentive stock options (if such awards are able to be granted) will not exceed 4,312,777 shares of Common Stock, which limit will increase by 3% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at the consummation of the IPO on the first day of each fiscal year, for a period of ten years commencing in the first fiscal year following the effective date of the Equity Plan.
The maximum number of shares subject to awards granted on or following the effective date of the Equity Plan during a single calendar year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during the fiscal year, may not exceed $750,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the fair value of such awards as of their approval effectiveness date); provided, that such calendar year limit shall be $1,000,000 for (i) the non-executive chair of our Board and (ii) a new non-employee director during his or her first year of service on our Board.
118
Table of Contents
In the event of certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, the Administrator will adjust the number and kind of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Equity Plan and all awards shall be adjusted as the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines is equitably required. Except as described below, shares subject to an award under the Equity Plan that are cancelled, forfeited, expire, or become unexercisable without having been exercised in full will be available for subsequent awards under the Equity Plan. Shares withheld in payment of the exercise price of an option or withholding taxes related to an award will be returned to the Share Limit for future grants of awards under the Equity Plan and will not reduce the Share Limit.
Any references in the Equity Plan and this summary to “shares of Common Stock” may be read as a reference to CDIs or shares of Common Stock as the context reasonably requires, unless the contrary intention is expressly stated in the Equity Plan.
Eligibility and Participation
Eligibility to participate in the Equity Plan is generally limited to employees, consultants, directors, and officers of the Company or any subsidiary. Grants of awards over CDIs may only be granted to Australian employees of the Company or a subsidiary who are not U.S. taxpayers.
Types of Awards under the Equity Plan
The Equity Plan authorizes the Administrator to grant awards, individually or collectively, to recipients in any of the following forms, subject to such terms, conditions and provisions as the Administrator may determine to be necessary or desirable:
●
Option rights;
●
Appreciation rights;
●
Restricted stock;
●
RSUs;
●
Cash incentive awards;
●
Performance shares;
●
Performance units (“PSUs”); and
●
Other equity-based awards.
Term of Awards
The term of each award will be determined by the Administrator and stated in the award agreement. In the case of option rights and appreciation rights, the term may not exceed ten years from the grant date or such shorter term as may be provided in the award agreement.
Option Rights
Option rights entitle the option holder to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price established by the Administrator. The Administrator will determine the terms of the option rights, including the vesting and other conditions that must be satisfied for the vesting and exercisability of such awards.
Exercise Price
The Administrator will determine the exercise price of each option right at the date of grant, which price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The Equity Plan prohibits the reduction of the exercise price of option rights without stockholder approval, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization.
119
Table of Contents
Exercise of Option Rights
An option holder may exercise his or her option rights by delivering notice of the number of option rights that are being exercised accompanied by payment in full of the applicable exercise price, in such form and pursuant to such procedures as the Company may designate from time to time, and may consist of any method of payment by the award agreement and the Equity Plan.
Appreciation Rights
Appreciation rights entitle the holder to receive from the Company an amount determined by the Compensation Committee, which will be expressed as a percentage of the excess of the market value per share of Common Stock on the date when an appreciation right is exercised over the base price provided for with respect to the appreciation right at the time of exercise. The Administrator will determine the terms of the appreciation rights, including the vesting and other conditions that must be satisfied for the vesting and exercisability of such awards.
Base Price
The Administrator will determine the base price of each appreciation right at the date of grant, which price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The Equity Plan prohibits the reduction of the base price of appreciation rights without stockholder approval, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization.
Stock Awards
Stock awards, including restricted stock, RSUs, cash incentive awards, performance shares, PSUs, and other equity-based awards, may be granted under the Equity Plan. These stock awards may be denominated in shares or units payable in shares of Common Stock (e.g., RSUs), and may be settled in cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares. Dividend equivalents, which represent a right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of Common Stock, may be granted in connection with RSUs, performance shares, and PSUs. The Administrator will determine the terms of stock awards, including the vesting and other conditions that must be satisfied for the vesting of such awards.
Tax Withholding
The Administrator may require a recipient to remit and will have the right to deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable withholding tax requirements with respect to any award granted under the Equity Plan.
Change in Control
The effect, if any, of certain transactions described in the Equity Plan constituting a change in control of the Company on any awards outstanding at the time immediately prior to such change in control may be specifically set forth in the corresponding award agreement, or if no such treatment is specified, then the Administrator will determine the effect of such transaction on any outstanding awards in accordance with the Equity Plan.
Termination and Amendment of the Equity Plan
Our Board may at any time amend the Equity Plan, subject to any required stockholder approval and any required consent from participants to the extent required under the Equity Plan or by applicable law. Our Board may terminate the Equity Plan at any time; provided, however, that such termination will not affect the rights of holders of outstanding awards granted under the Equity Plan or their successors.
Term of Equity Plan
The Equity Plan became effective in connection with the pricing of the IPO and will continue in effect until terminated through a resolution by our Board, provided that the termination of the Equity Plan will not affect awards then outstanding, and the terms and conditions of the Equity Plan shall continue to apply to such awards. No grant will be made under the Equity Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Equity Plan.

Mr. Denaro resigned from the Board effective December 13, 2025.

Accordingly, although the grant‑date fair value of these RSUs is reported in the Director Compensation Table above, Mr. Denaro did not ultimately realize any value from these awards.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy
We have adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Director Compensation Policy”) to provide for the compensation of non-employee directors for service on our Board. Each non-employee director receives an annual cash retainer for their service in each position as denoted below, each of which is payable in twelve equal monthly installments and is prorated for any portion of a month that a non-employee director is not serving in such position on our Board. Non-employee directors’ annual cash retainers are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by stockholders and stands at $2 million per annum, unless increased by approval of stockholders. The 2025 annual cash retainers for each applicable position were:
Non-Executive Board Chair*

154,500

46,350
Lead Independent Director (if appointed)

7,725
Nominating & Governance Committee Member

5,150
*
This is the total cash compensation and the Non-Executive Board Chair is not eligible for any additional cash retainers.
**
Annual retainers for Committee chairs are paid in lieu of, not in addition to, annual retainers for Committee members.
Pursuant to the Director Compensation Policy and subject to stockholder approval on a per grant basis in accordance with the rules of the ASX, unless the underlying security which is acquired on exercise of the option or otherwise on satisfaction of right is purchased on-market (as specified in an award agreement), non-employee directors who are elected or appointed to our Board receive an initial grant of restricted stock units with an aggregate grant date fair value of $250,000, which vests in three equal annual installments, subject to each non-employee director’s continued service through such date. Non-employee directors who serve on our Board as of the date of any annual stockholder meeting and will continue to serve on our Board following such annual stockholder meeting receive, subject to approval on a per grant basis in accordance with the rules of the ASX, unless the underlying security which is acquired on exercise of the option or otherwise on satisfaction of right is purchased on-market (as specified in an award agreement), an annual grant of restricted stock units with an aggregate grant date fair value of $125,000, except for the Non-Executive Board Chair, who receives a grant with a target value of $250,000, which vests on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the grant date and the date of our next annual stockholder meeting, subject to each non-employee director’s continued service through such date. A non-employee director who has served on our Board for fewer than six months prior to an annual stockholder meeting receives a prorated grant of restricted stock units, which vests on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the grant date and the date of our next annual stockholder meeting, subject to such non-employee director’s continued service through such date. A non-employee director elected for the first time to our Board at an annual stockholder meeting will be eligible to receive only an initial grant of restricted stock units.

Jurisdiction of Incorporation and Restrictions on the Acquisition of Securities
The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware in the United States of America. As a foreign company registered in Australia, the Company is not subject to Chapters 6, 6A, 6B and 6C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) dealing with the acquisition of its shares (including substantial holdings and takeovers).
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), our Common Stock are generally freely transferable, subject to restrictions that may be imposed by United States federal or state securities laws, by our Charter or Bylaws or by an agreement binding on our stockholders. The Charter and Bylaws do not impose any specific restrictions on the transfer of our Common Stock. Transfers of the Common Stock will be made only on the transfer books or by a transfer agent designated to transfer the Common Stock. Provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer (takeover), a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions could discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our Board may consider inadequate and encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our Company to first negotiate with the Board.
Australian Corporate Governance Statement
The Board and our management are committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance. We have reviewed our corporate governance practices against the ASX Operating Rules published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. Our Corporate Governance Statement sets out the ASX Governance Recommendations and the Company’s response as to how and whether we follow those recommendations.
The Corporate Governance Statement reflects our corporate governance practices in place throughout the financial year. A description of the Group’s current corporate governance practices is set out in our Corporate Governance Statement, which can be viewed at https://anteristech.com/investors/corporate-governance.html.
Our most recent Corporate Governance Statement, dated February 26, 2026 and approved by the Board remains accurate as of the date of this Form 10-K. The Corporate Governance Statement is not incorporated by reference herein.
Voting Rights
Except as otherwise required by law, as provided in our Certificate of Incorporation or as provided in resolutions, if any, adopted by the Board with respect to any series of the preferred stock, the holders of our Common Stock (including CDIs) will exclusively possess all voting power. Each holder of shares of Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held by such holder. Our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the voting shares are able to elect all of the directors.
Holders of CDIs are entitled to receive notice of, and to attend as guests (but not vote at) meetings of stockholders. The Depositary Nominee (or its custodian) is the legal holder of the shares of Common Stock underlying the CDIs. However, as the beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock underlying the CDIs, holders of CDIs may:
•
direct the Depositary Nominee (or its custodian) how to vote the shares of Common Stock represented by their CDIs by completing the CDI Voting Instruction Form that accompanies the relevant notice of meeting or proxy statement; or
•
appoint themselves (or another person) to be the Depositary Nominee’s proxy with respect to the shares of Common Stock represented by their CDIs for the purposes of attending and voting at the stockholders meeting by completing the CDI Voting Instruction Form that accompanies the relevant notice of meeting or proxy statement.
Alternatively, holders of CDIs may elect to convert their CDIs into Common Stock and vote those shares of Common Stock at a stockholders meeting. Such conversion must be completed prior to the record date fixed by us for determining the entitlement of stockholders to attend and vote at the stockholders meeting.
Warrants and unquoted options convert into a fixed number of shares of Common Stock or CDIs on various dates in accordance with their respective terms. Each warrant and option carries a specified exercise price and expiration date. Options may be cancelled if the applicable vesting conditions are not satisfied. Holders of warrants and unquoted options have no voting rights and are not entitled to vote at our annual or special meetings of stockholders.
RSUs convert into a fixed number of shares of Common Stock or CDIs upon the satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions. RSUs may be cancelled if the applicable vesting conditions are not satisfied. Holders of RSUs have no voting rights and are not entitled to vote at our annual or special meetings of stockholders.

Item 13
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Policies and Procedures with Respect to Related Party Transactions
Our Audit and Risk Committee charter requires that the Audit and Risk Committee review and approve or disapprove all related person transactions that are required to be disclosed by Item 404 of Regulation S-K. We review all relationships and transactions reported to us in which we and our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members or any person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. Our Secretary is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether our company or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction.
We have a written related-party transaction policy that applies to our executive officers, directors, director nominees, holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities and any member of the immediate family of, and any entity affiliated with, any of the foregoing persons. Such persons will not be permitted to enter into a related-party transaction with us without the prior consent of our Audit and Risk Committee, or other independent members of our Board in the event it is inappropriate for our Audit and Risk Committee to review such transaction due to a conflict of interest. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, director nominee, principal stockholder, or any of their immediate family members or affiliates, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 or one percent (1%) of the average of our total assets as of the end of last three completed fiscal years must first be presented to our Audit and Risk Committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our Audit and Risk Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to our Audit and Risk Committee, including, but not limited to, the commercial reasonableness of the terms of the transaction and the materiality and character of the related party’s direct or indirect interest in the transaction.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Other than executive compensation arrangements described elsewhere in this Form 10-K (See “Item 11. Executive Compensation”), described below are the transactions and proposed transactions, since the beginning of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, in which we were or are to be a participant and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest involving the lesser of $120,000 and one percent (1%) of the average of our total assets as of year-end for the last two completed fiscal years. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee for director, or holder of 5% or more of our Common Stock, or an immediate family member of any of those persons.
Reorganization Transactions
Prior to the consummation of our IPO, we completed the Reorganization pursuant to which we received all of the issued and outstanding shares of ATPL, which was formerly an Australian public company originally registered in Western Australia, Australia and listed on the ASX, pursuant to the Scheme under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act. Contemporaneously with implementation of the Scheme, ATPL also cancelled all existing options it has on issue in exchange for our company issuing replacement options to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the Option Scheme under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act. The Scheme was approved by ATPL’s shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders, which was held on December 3, 2024. The Option Scheme was approved by ATPL’s optionholders at a general meeting of optionholders held on the same day. ATPL obtained approval of the Scheme and the Option Scheme by the Supreme Court of Queensland on December 4, 2024. As a result of the Reorganization, ATPL became a wholly owned subsidiary of our company and the shareholders of ATPL immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO became holders of the either one share of Common Stock for every ordinary share of ATPL or one CDI for every one ordinary share of ATPL for each share held as of the record date.
v2vmedtech Contributions
On April 18, 2023, we purchased 30% of the equity capital stock of v2vmedtech, pursuant to a contribution and stock purchase agreement, and concurrently contributed $0.2 million and entered into a series of agreements (collectively, the “v2v Agreements”) with v2vmedtech. v2vmedtech has a license agreement with Columbia University to develop an innovative heart valve repair device utilizing a transcatheter edge-to-edge repair method for a minimally invasive treatment of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation, also known as leaky valve.
Under the terms of the v2v Agreements, we agreed to provide certain development services to v2vmedtech in exchange for equity in v2vmedtech. Pursuant to the v2v Agreements, we provide engineering, clinical, regulatory, marketing, and executive management resources, but excluding medical and chief medical officer services, in connection with v2vmedtech’s development of these valve repair devices. We are responsible for developing products and preparing regulatory filings and all costs and expenses incurred by us directly, related to the development of devices constitute development contributions under the v2v Agreements, for which we are solely responsible. These contributions are to be provided over five stages linked to key development and regulatory requirements for the device for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve.

Table of Contents
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we contributed $2.6 million to v2vmedtech to finance v2vmedtech’s operations. The total amount of eligible development contributions and operational contributions paid by us under the v2v Agreements as of December 31, 2025 was $6.2 million. See “Item 1. Business—Collaborations” in Part I of this Form 10-K for more information on the v2v Agreements.
Deed of Cross Guarantee
ATGC and ATPL (ACN 088 221 078) are party to a deed of cross guarantee dated December 20, 2024 (“Deed”). The Deed remained in place throughout the year ended December 31, 2025, and there were no changes to the parties to the Deed during that period. The Company did not rely on the reporting relief available under the Deed for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Deed was entered into in prior periods for Australian statutory reporting purposes; however, the Company did not rely on the reporting relief available under the Deed for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the Deed had no impact on the preparation or presentation of these consolidated financial statements.
Indemnification Agreements
We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts reasonably incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, on account of any services undertaken by such person on behalf of our company or that person’s status as a member of our Board or executive officer to the maximum extent allowed under Delaware law.
Medtronic Agreements
Purchase Agreement
On January 20, 2026, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Medtronic, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to Medtronic 15,652,173 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $5.75 per share in the Medtronic Private Placement. The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and Medtronic.
Registration Rights Agreement
On January 22, 2026, the Company and Medtronic entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Common Stock sold to Medtronic in the Medtronic Private Placement (the “Registrable Securities”) by Medtronic no later than 18 months following the closing of the Medtronic Private Placement. In addition, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company granted Medtronic the right to demand the sale of the Common Stock sold in the Medtronic Private Placement in one underwritten offering. The Company also agreed to be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with such registration.
In the event (i) the Resale Registration Statement has not been declared effective in the time period specified in the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) after the Resale Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement for any reason, subject to certain limited exceptions, then the Company will agree, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, to make payments to Medtronic as liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount paid pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by Medtronic for the Registrable Securities then held by Medtronic for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof during which such event continues. In no event will such liquidated damages exceed 5.0% of the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock purchased by Medtronic under the Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company granted Medtronic customary indemnification rights in connection with the Resale Registration Statement. Medtronic also granted the Company customary indemnification rights in connection with the Resale Registration Statement.

Investor Rights Agreement
On January 22, 2026, the Company and Medtronic entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and Medtronic have certain rights and obligations, including:
●
Participation rights: So long as Medtronic beneficially owns at least 75% of the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Minimum Ownership Threshold”), Medtronic will have participation rights with respect to certain future issuances of equity securities by the Company to maintain Medtronic’s percentage ownership interest, subject to customary carve-outs set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement.
●
Transfer restrictions: From the closing date of the Medtronic Private Placement through May 22, 2027, Medtronic will be prohibited from transferring any of the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain customary exceptions. In addition, until January 22, 2029, transfers of the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by Medtronic will be subject to, among other things, volume limitations and prohibitions on transfers to activist investors or any person engaged in the business of structural heart therapeutics.
●
Collaboration: The Company and Medtronic agree to engage in non-exclusive good faith discussions regarding potential collaboration opportunities with respect to manufacturing, co-development and co-commercialization of the Company’s products and other matters as may be agreed to between the Company and Medtronic from time to time.
●
Standstill: From the closing date of the Medtronic Private Placement through May 22, 2027 (the “Standstill Period”), Medtronic will be subject to customary standstill provisions (the “Standstill”), pursuant to which, subject to customary exceptions, neither Medtronic nor any of its affiliates may, directly or indirectly, among other things, acquire additional securities of the Company, propose or pursue extraordinary transactions involving the Company, seek to influence or control the Company’s management or board of directors, solicit proxies, initiate stockholder proposals or coordinate with third parties with respect to any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of certain fundamental change events, Medtronic may make proposals or offers privately to the Company, subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement.
●
Voting agreement: During the Standstill Period, Medtronic will be obligated to cause all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Medtronic and its affiliates to be present for quorum purposes and to be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board with respect to all proposals submitted to the stockholders of the Company.
●
Board observer: From the closing date of the Medtronic Private Placement until the Observer Termination Date (as defined below), Medtronic will have the right to designate one non-voting board observer, who must be reasonably acceptable to the Board. Medtronic’s right to designate a board observer will terminate upon the earliest of the date on which (the “Observer Termination Date”): (i) Medtronic ceases to meet the Minimum Ownership Threshold; (ii) certain antitrust or competition law issues arise with respect to the board observer’s continued service as such; (iii) Medtronic breaches the Standstill; (iv) Medtronic takes any of the actions prohibited by the Standstill after the Standstill Period; and (v) Medtronic or the board observer materially breaches any clean team agreement or any provision addressing competitively sensitive information of the Company in any confidentiality agreement.
●
Right to negotiate: From the closing date of the Medtronic Private Placement until the date on which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves the Company’s Class III device, and provided that Medtronic meets the Minimum Ownership Threshold and Medtronic’s board observer right has not been terminated pursuant to certain circumstances, the Company will notify Medtronic upon receipt of certain acquisition proposals and, subject to applicable law and the fiduciary duties of the Board, is obligated to provide Medtronic with substantially the same information provided to the party that made such acquisition proposal and negotiate in good faith with Medtronic for a specified period of time. Nothing in the Investor Rights Agreement requires the Company or the Board to approve, recommend or consummate any transaction or limits the ability of the Board to take or refrain from taking any action required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

Director Independence
Our Board currently consists of five members. Our Board has determined that Mr. Seaberg, Mr. Moss and Mr. Roberts qualify as independent directors in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Our Board has further determined that Mr. Seaberg, Mr. Moss and Mr. Roberts qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq Listing Rules applicable to membership on our Audit and Risk Committee. In addition, our Board has determined that each of the members of our Audit and Risk Committee is “financially literate” pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, and that Mr. Roberts is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in applicable SEC rules, because of his individual extensive financial experience. Mr. Paterson and Mr. St Denis are not considered independent by virtue of their positions as Chief Executive Officer and President (former Chief Operating Officer), respectively, of the company.

Audit fees consist of fees for professional services provided primarily in connection with the annual audit of our financial statements, quarterly reviews and other audit services, including services related to SEC registration statements and other documents such as the preparation of comfort letters and consents.
Determination of Independence
In considering the nature of the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit and Risk Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit and Risk Committee discussed these services with our independent registered public accounting firm and our management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence.
Additional information concerning the Audit and Risk Committee and its activities can be found in the “Board Committees — Audit and Risk Committee” section of this Form 10-K.
Pre-Approval Policy
According to policies adopted by the Audit and Risk Committee and ratified by our Board, to ensure compliance with the SEC’s rules regarding auditor independence, all audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm must be preapproved by the Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee has established a general pre-approval policy for certain audit and non-audit services, up to a specified amount for each identified service that may be provided by the independent auditors.
The Audit and Risk Committee approved one hundred percent (100%) of all services provided by KPMG during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Audit and Risk Committee has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by KPMG and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining KPMG’s independence.
