an aggregate amount of $500,000 in cash and 210,000 ordinary shares as consideration for the remainder of the milestones and applicable
earn-outs under the USARAD SPA. As a result of the amendment to the USARAD SPA, obligations of the Company and the rights of the former
stockholders of USARAD relating to the purchase price (including the earn-outs) under the USARAD SPA have been satisfied in full.
On November 3, 2021, the
Company completed the acquisition of the platform and other assets of MDWEB, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated
October 21, 2021, between the Company and MDWEB, a USARAD-related company. Pursuant to the acquisition, we acquired the MDW platform,
now known as the Nanox.MARKETPLACE, a decentralized marketplace connecting imaging facilities with radiologists. At closing, the Company
issued 64,715 ordinary shares to MDWEB. In addition, upon the successful achievement of certain milestones related to technical integration
of the Nanox.MARKETPLACE with the Nanox.CLOUD and achieving certain other operational targets, the Company undertook to pay additional
stock consideration in the amount of up to $1,500,000 at a per share value determined by the average of: (i) closing price of the 30 trading
days ending on the applicable milestone’s achievement date: and (ii) the volume weighted average closing share price of the 30 trading
days prior to the closing date.
On November 4, 2021, the
Company consummated its purchase of 100% of the equity of Zebra Medical Vision Ltd., an Israeli company (“Zebra”) pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 9, 2021, as amended (the “Zebra Merger Agreement”), among the
Company, Zebra and Perryllion Ltd., as representative of Zebra’s equity holders. Zebra, now known as Nanox AI, is a leading medical
AI developer, with eight FDA-cleared and 11 CE-marked AI solutions for medical imaging. At closing, the Company issued 3,249,142 ordinary
shares of the Company and committed to issue 70,211 employee options to the equity holders of Zebra, which represented (a) the basic purchase
price of $100,000,000; minus (b) certain transaction costs; plus (c) deferred closing consideration in the amount of $3,333,333 as a result
of Zebra entering into a designated commercial agreement prior to closing; plus (d) $6,300,000 as a result of Zebra achieving a designated
milestone of obtaining a new FDA clearance for its population health product. All shares, except for the shares issued for the designated
milestone, were issued at a deemed per share value of $33.18 and the shares issued for the designated milestone were issued at a per share
value of $25.01. In addition, according to the terms of the Zebra Merger Agreement, under certain circumstances, the Company was obligated
to issue additional ordinary shares as deferred closing consideration and certain milestone consideration (should such be achieved) representing
an aggregate amount of up to $100,000,000 within three years following the closing. An aggregate of $9,633,333 of such consideration was
paid at closing as described above. In addition, on January 19, 2022, we issued 89,286 additional ordinary shares to the former shareholders
of Nanox AI due to partial achievement of a milestone that occurred post-closing. On December 29, 2022, the parties entered into a settlement
with respect to any additional amount that could be granted under the Zebra Merger Agreement, according to which the Company issued Nanox
AI’s former shareholders an additional 2,648,424 ordinary shares. As a result of the settlement, both parties’ performance
obligations under the agreement have been satisfied in full.
On January 1, 2024, we incorporated Nanox Impact Inc., a Delaware company,
for the deployment operations of our Nanox System in the United States.
On November 19, 2025, the
Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Vaso Healthcare IT Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Vaso IT”), pursuant
to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 18, 2025 (the “Vaso SPA”), among Nano-X Imaging Inc., the Company’s
wholly owned subsidiary (“Nanox Inc.”), Vaso IT, and Vaso Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, the parent company of Vaso
IT (“Vaso Corp”). Pursuant to the Vaso SPA, Vaso Corp sold to Nanox Inc. 100% of the stock of Vaso IT, in return for a purchase
price of $200,000, and an earnout payment that shall not exceed $600,000, which shall be payable for the two-year period following the
closing of the Vaso SPA (the “Earnout”). The Earnout shall be calculated as 10% of all revenues from current Vaso IT customers,
during the Earnout payment period, of two years. Following the closing of the VASO SPA, Vaso IT changed its name to Nanox Health IT. Nanox

B. Business Overview
Overview
Nanox is focused on driving the
world’s transition to preventive health care by delivering an integrated, end-to-end medical imaging and healthcare services platform.
Nanox combines affordable
imaging hardware, advanced AI-based solutions, cloud-based software, access to remote radiology, health IT solutions, and a marketplace
to enable earlier detection, improved clinical efficiency, and broader access to care.
Nanox’s vision is to
expand the reach of medical imaging both within and beyond traditional hospital settings by providing a seamless solution from scan to
interpretation and beyond. By leveraging proprietary digital X-ray technology, AI-driven analytics, and a clinically driven approach,
Nanox aims to enhance the efficiency of routine imaging workflows, support early detection of disease, and improve patient outcomes.
The Nanox ecosystem includes Nanox.ARC,
a cost-effective, 3D multi-source digital tomosynthesis imaging system designed for ease of use and scalability; Nanox.AI, a suite
of AI-based algorithms that augment the interpretation of routine CT imaging to identify early signs often associated with chronic disease; Nanox.CLOUD,
a cloud-based platform for secure data management, storage, and advanced imaging analytics; Nanox.MARKETPLACE and USARAD
Holdings, which provides access to remote radiology and cardiology experts and comprehensive teleradiology services; and Nanox Health
IT combines deep healthcare IT expertise with leading technology partners to deliver RIS, PACS, AI, dictation, and secure infrastructure
solutions that streamline workflows and support safer, more efficient care delivery.
By integrating imaging technology,
AI, cloud infrastructure, clinical expertise, a marketplace, and health information technology, Nanox seeks to lower barriers to adoption,
improve utilization, and advance preventive care worldwide.
Our holistic imaging solution
is currently comprised of the following principal components:
The Nanox System.
As a first step to producing a new class of accessible and affordable medical imaging systems, we focused on identifying and developing
a novel digital X-ray source, which we refer to as the Nanox.SOURCE. Our X-ray source is based on a novel digital MEMs semiconductor cathode
that we believe can achieve the same functionalities as legacy X-ray analog cathodes, while allowing for lower-cost production than existing
medical imaging systems. We have been developing this technology over ten years towards the goal of commercial applicability. This novel
digital X-ray source is the basis of core technology in the imaging system we are developing, and we believe it also has the potential
to replace the legacy X-ray source in other existing imaging systems. Our technology aims to disrupt medical imaging by providing accessibility
and affordability on a global scale. Our goal is to enable medical institutions and other significant medical players to either employ
our solutions as a closed end-to-end system or to adopt a modular approach to our technologies, by acquiring or licensing our different
components and integrating our technologies into their specific product.
70
The Nanox System includes two integrated components—hardware
(Nanox.ARC, or Nanox.ARC X), a medical imaging system incorporating our novel digital X-ray source, and software (Nanox.CLOUD). We developed,
and continue to improve, the multi-source Nanox.ARC, a 3D tomosynthesis imaging system, which received two 510(k) clearances from the
FDA and remains subject to regulatory clearance and approval in other jurisdictions. Tomosynthesis is an imaging technique used for early
detection, that is designed to produce a high-resolution, 3D, X-ray image reconstruction of the scanned human body part for review by
a professional diagnostics expert. In parallel, we have developed, and continue to improve, the Nanox.CLOUD, a companion cloud-based software
to which scanned images may be securely uploaded to the cloud system. By integrating the Nanox.CLOUD with the Nanox.ARC, we believe the
Nanox System could provide a streamlined process and end-to-end medical imaging service, including services such as image repository,
radiologist matching, online and offline diagnostics review and annotation, connectivity to diagnostic assistive AI systems, billing,
monitoring and reporting.
Following clearances from
the FDA, and if cleared by similar regulatory agencies in other jurisdictions, we plan to market and deploy the Nanox System globally
at a substantially lower cost than currently available medical imaging systems, such as legacy X-ray and Computerized Tomography (“CT”)
systems, because our digital X-ray source allows the Nanox.ARC to have a simpler structure without the costly cooling equipment used in
legacy X-ray systems or the complex rotating mechanism used in CT devices. See “—Our Technology—The Nanox System.”
We believe that the Nanox System could increase the accessibility and affordability of early-detection medical imaging systems worldwide,
substantially reduce wait-times for imaging results and increase early detection rates compared to currently employed imaging process
protocol.
We continue to implement
a multi-step approach to the regulatory clearance process for the Nanox System. On April 28, 2023, we received a 510(k) clearance from
the FDA to market the Nanox.ARC (including the Nanox.CLOUD), a multi-source 3D digital tomosynthesis system, as a stationary X-ray system
intended to produce tomographic images of the human musculoskeletal system adjunctive to conventional radiography, on adult patients.
On December 4, 2024, we received another 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Nanox.ARC, for general use including human musculoskeletal
system, pulmonary, intra-abdominal, and paranasal sinus indications, adjunctive to conventional radiography, on adult patients. This device
is intended to be used in professional healthcare facilities or radiological environments, such as hospitals, clinics, imaging centers
and other medical practices by trained radiographers, radiologists and physicians. We plan to seek additional clearances or approvals
for additional uses of the currently cleared Nanox System, or for future versions of the Nanox System. In April 2025, we received a 510(k)
clearance from the FDA for the Nanox.ARC X, an AI-ready, multi-source digital tomosynthesis system that makes advanced 3D imaging possible
in more places at significantly lower radiation dose than CT, which clearance covers the production of tomographic images for general
use, including the human musculoskeletal system and pulmonary, intra-abdominal and paranasal sinus indications, adjunctive to conventional
radiography on adult patients. The Nanox Systems achieve diagnostic imaging with up to 80% less radiation compared to CT scans, for equivalent
body parts, and minimize structural superimposition for clearer imaging, compared to traditional X-rays. In February 2026, we received
a 510(k) clearance from the FDA for TAP2D, a new cloud enabled image enhancement capability for the Nanox.ARC and Nanox.ARC X.
On November 22, 2023, Nanox.ARC
received approval from the Medical Device Division of the Ministry of Health in Israel (the regulatory body that oversees medical devices
in Israel). As such, Nanox.ARC is registered as a commercial medical device in the Israeli market. Following this approval, the Israeli
Ministry of Health granted Nanox.ARC a free sale certificate which is a requirement for regulatory submission in some markets. In addition,
in Ghana, our local partner has obtained approval from the Ghana Food and Drug Authority (the GFDA), and started the clinical scanning
of patients.
On February 25, 2025, we
received the CE mark certification to market the multi-source Nanox.ARC system, including the Nanox.CLOUD, its accompanying cloud-based
infrastructure. Nanox.ARC is a stationary X-ray system, intended to generate tomographic images of human anatomy from a single tomographic
sweep performed in recumbent positions of adult patients.
We expect that the Nanox
System will enable us to accumulate a significant number of medical images, which have the potential to be used by collaborators, such
as medical AI-analytics companies, through machine learning algorithms to increase the probability of early disease detection.
U.S. go-to-market.
Based on market analysis of the U.S. market by clinicians, imaging administrators and directors, stakeholders recognize the clinical
benefits of the Nanox System and its more affordable approach to advanced imaging technology. Furthermore, outpatient facilities, such
as freestanding emergency clinics, and pulmonary clinics showed interest in adopting the Nanox System. Specifically, because such facilities
typically do not have CT capabilities, we believe such facilities view the Nanox System as a more affordable way to keep patients in-house
for advanced imaging needs, combined with a 2D X-ray. In addition, even among facilities that already have CT capabilities, stakeholders
have expressed interest in exploring the Nanox.ARC as a complementary solution, offering lower radiation dose, a smaller footprint, and
a potentially more cost-efficient alternative for certain imaging use cases. Outpatient facilities also expressed potential interest in
our MSaaS business model, which we believe could reduce the risk of an upfront purchase because the cost is based on actual use. We believe
that gathering further clinical evidence will strengthen the support for our technology. Our current U.S. go-to-market strategy is comprised
of three primary components: customer targeting, building a sales team and using a hybrid business model.
71
In terms of customer targeting,
we believe several factors impact willingness to adopt our system, including the type of facility, its current imaging capabilities and
imaging volumes, and geographic location, namely rural vs. urban. We aim to strategically engage segments that show early adoption potential,
such as orthopedic clinics, skilled nursing facilities, freestanding emergency departments and urgent care facilities. We intend to continue
to build clinical evidence particularly within the U.S. market, to support the adoption of our system, as well as reimbursement mechanisms,
specifically with commercial payers. We’ve strategically realigned our focus to enhance our presence in the U.S. market, such that
our initial efforts in commercialization and deployment within the U.S. have been concentrated on select states. This approach allows
us, in the near term, to optimize customer service, delivery and support. To execute our strategy, we have allocated internal sales resources
and we are trying to leverage the USARAD network, in order to accelerate our initial penetration in the market. Furthermore, we are in
the process of expanding a U.S.-based sales and service team that will seek to generate leads, close sales, manage relationships, and
provide services for the Nanox System installed base. We are also in the process of engaging with independent service providers to provide
service in remote areas and to decrease equipment downtime. We expect that other operational needs (such as medical affairs, regulatory,
billing, finance and contracting) will be supported by the existing international Nanox organization.
For our business model in the U.S., we use a hybrid approach combining
a usage-based Subscription model with a CapEx Model to help promote adoption, based on different segments, with an increasing focus on
CapEx-driven deployments supported by our growing network of channel partners and direct sales force. We have designed a training program
to promote the Nanox System. Including enablement of channel partners to support sales, installation and ongoing customer engagement.
We also intend to use a combination of pilot sites, training, service, sales, and marketing efforts to help meet customer needs, while
leveraging third-party distributors and strategic partners to expand our market reach. These aspects of our business strategy require
us to hire additional experienced healthcare business-development professionals as well as to build and manage relationships with channel
partners, who are charged with raising awareness of the Nanox System among physicians, hospitals, urgent care operators, and large health
systems throughout the U.S.
Following a U.S. Reimbursement
Landscape Assessment for Nanox.ARC, it was found that the existing CPT code 76100 “Radiologic examination, single plane body
section (eg, tomography), other than with urography” would be a viable option to report tomosynthesis procedures utilizing the
Nanox.ARC. Nanox.ARC users would be able to report with appropriate ICD-10-PCS code(s). These ICD-10-PCS codes are for reporting services
and procedures performed in the inpatient hospital site of service. For the Nanox.ARC, clinics or hospitals operating it can use the CPT
code 76100 for reporting. According to the National Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and related schedules, as of November 2025 and February
2026, reimbursement rates for DTS vary between uses by physicians and by hospital outpatients. Third-party payors may impose limits on
coverage or reimbursement for diagnostic imaging services, including denying reimbursement for tests that do not follow recommended diagnostic
procedures or can only be billed using an unlisted or miscellaneous code. Prior authorization is required for certain advanced imaging
services through CMS’ Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) program and private payer prior authorization programs. Currently, although
there are no AUCs for tomosynthesis in general radiography, we plan to monitor the CMS AUC Program and Private Payers Prior Authorization
process for radiology procedures for any change.
We have recently entered
into a distribution agreement with Howard Technology Solutions (“Howard”) a division of Howard Industries to deploy 300 Nanox.ARC
systems across the U.S. over three years. As of the date of this Annual Report, we continue to advance the deployment of the Nanox.ARC
systems through direct sales and commercial collaborations, with approximately 36 systems in various stages of deployment, additional
17 systems expected to be installed over the following months as part of the Nanox Imaging Network initiative (as described below), and
have executed distribution agreements (including Howard) for approximately 360 CapEx systems in the U.S. over the next two to three years,
with timing dependent on regulatory, operational, and market factors. Most of the deployed systems have not yet begun to generate revenues.
Such anticipated volumes, if executed as expected, reflect the Company’s current commercial arrangements and the expected activities
of its distribution partners; however, the timing and extent of actual purchases are subject to a number of factors, including market
adoption, customer demand, site readiness, construction timelines, regulatory approvals, and the performance of such partners. While these
agreements represent expected commercial activity over time, many have not yet resulted in revenue, and the timing and extent of revenue
recognition will depend on the progression of deployments, system activations, and other factors, including the performance of our distribution
partners. The introduction of new medical technologies typically involves complex and multi-stage processes, including integration into
clinical workflows, compliance with regulatory frameworks, and development of supporting operational infrastructure. These factors may
extend deployment timelines, particularly in early stages, and may impact the timing of revenue generation.
72
Nanox Imaging Network
(NIN). Nanox has initiated Nanox Imaging Network (“NIN”), a limited Proof-of-Concept (“POC”) initiative, in
collaboration with Monarch Medical Management and Billing LLC (“Monarch”). NIN is intended to evaluate a network-based imaging
services operating model in the United States, focused on providing imaging services through selected sites serving workers’ compensation
and other specialized healthcare segments.
As part of the NIN POC, Nanox
is responsible for certain technical and operational elements, including imaging system deployment, maintenance of its Nanox.ARC systems,
connectivity and service support, while Monarch is responsible for site operations, personnel, regulatory permits, and local engagement.
The initiative is intended to serve a range of healthcare providers, including orthopedic and spine clinics, occupational health providers,
post-accident care providers, nursing homes and correctional healthcare facilities.
Certain target segments addressed
by the NIN POC, including workers’ compensation-related imaging services, are characterized by reimbursement structures that may
allow for higher per-scan pricing compared to standard reimbursement frameworks, depending on payer arrangements, state-specific fee schedules
and contractual terms. The NIN POC is intended, in part, to evaluate such reimbursement dynamics.
The POC is currently in an
early and limited deployment phase, with a limited number of sites identified and in various stages of setup. The POC is intended solely
to assess operational, regulatory and economic feasibility. Nanox has not committed to a rollout of NIN, and there can be no assurance
that the POC will be expanded, successfully implemented, or result in material revenues.
EU go-to-market.
As the population ages and the demand for medical imaging increases
in lockstep, there is an increasing need for accessible, advanced imaging solutions across various care settings. We expect the Nanox.ARC
and Nanox.ARC X to be a good fit for this backdrop, because at their core, the Nanox.ARC and the Nanox.ARC X offer an advanced medical
imaging solution that is more accessible and affordable. Most of the initial sales in the EU are and will be through the CapEx Model,
meaning the systems will be purchased outright with no per-scan charges. However, there will be additional revenues generated through
the use of service contracts and Nanox.CLOUD connectivity. The distributors are responsible to oversee sales and market development, including
promoting the equipment, engaging with key opinion leaders, and generating leads. They are handling local regulatory approvals, importation,
installation, and after-sales support. Additionally, they will execute marketing activities, maintain inventory, manage financial transactions
with Nanox, and set local pricing and negotiate with customers.
Nanox.MARKETPLACE.
Nanox.MARKETPLACE (formerly known as the MDW platform), which we acquired from MDWEB in November 2021, is our proprietary decentralized
marketplace that connects imaging facilities with radiologists and enables radiologists to provide, and customers to obtain, remote interpretations
of imaging data. The platform was designed by radiologists for the imaging industry. The radiologists connecting to Nanox.MARKETPLACE
include those radiologists who are part of our network and provide teleradiology services through USARAD, as well as other radiologists,
all of whom undergo an accreditation process that we perform and are required to be certified by the American Board of Radiology. Based
primarily on customer location and area of specialization, radiologists will be matched to conduct the imaging interpretation. The radiologist
receives payment through the platform from the customer upon the delivery of the imaging interpretation. The Nanox.MARKETPLACE service
is currently offered on a standalone basis. Additionally, we have completed the incorporation of the Nanox.MARKETPLACE into the Nanox
System, such that images that were generated by the Nanox.ARC and the Nanox.ARC X, and uploaded to the Nanox.CLOUD, can be streamlined
and referred through the Nanox.MARKETPLACE to radiologists for remote reading.
73
Nanox.CONNECT.
In August 2022, we entered into a supply agreement with Re-medi Co Ltd. in order to integrate Remedi’s two-dimensional (“2D”)
imaging systems (using traditional X-ray tubes) to the Nanox.CLOUD and the Nanox.MARKETPLACE, creating a mobile 2D X-ray system that enables
remote readings of scans with third parties AI-powered imaging analysis and a global teleradiology solution, which we refer to as the
“Nanox.CONNECT.” The Nanox.CONNECT is currently deployed in a beta site in order to receive local regulatory approvals and
explore and evaluate the business model and the potential service.
AI Imaging Solutions.
Nanox AI (previously known as Zebra), which we acquired in November
2021, develops machine learning platforms based on its database of over 500 million imaging scans, which facilitates the development of
AI medical imaging solutions. Nanox AI has FDA clearance for seven radiology AI solutions, CE mark in Europe for five radiology AI solutions
and regulatory approvals in other countries for its radiology AI solutions. Nanox AI has been granted over two dozen patents in the field
of radiology AI. Nanox AI gathers underutilized image data from CT scans and helps medical service providers focus on patients that, upon
findings generated by use of our AI solutions, require additional medical attention.
In February 2024, we received
FDA clearance for HealthFLD, an AI software that provides automated qualitative and quantitative analysis of liver attenuation from routine
contrast and non-contrast chest and abdomen CT scans in patients between the ages of 18 to 75. HealthFLD is intended to support clinicians
in the detection of fatty liver, correlated with hepatic steatosis, an early sign of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver
disease (MASLD), formerly referred to as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
In August 2024, we received
510(k) clearance for HealthCCSng V2.0. HealthCCSng V2.0 is the upgraded version of Nanox.AI’s cardiac solution, HealthCCSng, which
has already shown tangible results in several healthcare systems, identifying patients at high risk of coronary artery disease while driving
significant revenue to cardiology departments. It has also been seamlessly integrated with existing picture archiving and communication
systems (PACS) and electronic medical records (EMR) systems, and enabled timely and appropriate preventive care.
We offer FDA cleared AI-based
software imaging solutions to hospitals, health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), integrated delivery networks (“IDNs”),
marketplaces, pharmaceutical companies and insurers that are designed to identify or predict undiagnosed or underdiagnosed medical conditions,
through the mining of data of existing CT scans. We have entered into collaboration agreements with marketplaces for access and distribution
of our Nanox AI solutions, and agreements with IDNs, hospitals, insurance assessment and imaging companies with respect to our AI imaging
solutions.
Additionally, we offer direct
access to end-consumers to get the AI solutions through second opinions platform and healthcare imaging companies with respect to our
AI imaging solutions. We currently offer AI imaging population health solutions aimed at identifying underlying findings, which are correlated
to osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and fatty liver to help detect patients at risk for more advanced liver disease such as NASH.
With our AI imaging population health solutions, we aim to further our mission to enable preventative healthcare through early detection.
The HealthFLD clearance is
the third product across the Nanox.AI suite of population health solutions to receive FDA clearance. The FDA previously cleared HealthCCSng,
a solution that detects coronary artery calcium (CAC) that presents a risk for coronary artery disease, and HealthOST, a solution that
assesses vertebral compression fractures and bone mineral density to support clinicians in the evaluation and assessment of musculoskeletal
disease of the spine (such as osteoporosis).
74
Looking to the future of
Nanox.AI, the strong validation of these solutions by multiple health systems around the world drives us to develop additional algorithms
that can identify more health problems.
Nanox.AI is collaborating
with a U.S.-based healthcare company that operates medical screening programs focused on early disease detection. Under the terms of this
collaboration, Nanox.AI’s population health software solutions are integrated into the partner’s medical screening workflows
across multiple imaging center locations in the United States.
Through this model, Nanox.AI
provides technology solutions to a business customer that delivers screening services directly to individual consumers. As a result, Nanox.AI
does not contract directly with end patients but rather supports consumer-facing healthcare services indirectly through its commercial
partner. This business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) approach is intended to allow Nanox.AI to participate in consumer healthcare markets
while maintaining a business-to-business commercial relationship.
We’re also expanding direct-to-clinician
access to Nanox.AI solutions and launching new AI applications that have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, early detection,
and patient management directly to clinics and physicians as an AI software add-on.
Nanox.AI continues to expand
its software and artificial intelligence–enabled product portfolio to support clinical care management and advanced image analysis.

Limitation of Current Medical Imaging Solutions
and Our Market Opportunity
The main categories of current
medical imaging systems that use X-ray sources include legacy X-ray systems, CT, mammography, fluoroscopy and angiogram. The analog X-ray
source used by these systems produces X-rays by accelerating electrons to high energies, causing them to hit a metal target from which
the X-rays are emitted. This requires a significant amount of electrical energy to be transferred to the X-ray tube. Due to the heat generated
by this process, one of the most complex mechanical challenges is cooling the analog X-ray source. In addition, for CTs, the mechanical
structure is even more complex because the analog X-ray source needs to rotate in a heavy gantry at high speed. We believe these are key
factors leading to the high cost and complexity of existing medical imaging systems, which in turn significantly limits the availability
of medical imaging for early detection globally.
A significant portion of
the world population lacks access to medical imaging. Further, many people with access to medical imaging face substantial wait times
for scanning. For example, in Canada, access to medical imaging procedures is a growing problem with months of reported wait times for
MRI and CT screenings. Long wait times not only negatively impact patient outcomes but also add significant costs due to delays in detection
and treatment.
In addition, most market
participants, including medical imaging manufacturing companies, medical imaging providers and radiologists, among others, have not provided
the same level of end-to-end medical imaging services. One of the reasons is that the scanning process is currently not integrated with
the diagnostics process, which contributes to extended wait times for image diagnostics by experts.
According to a report of Fortune Business Insights from April 2026,
the global medical imaging market size was valued at 44.33 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from 46.9 billion in 2026 to 78.57
billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.65% during the forecast period.
The X-ray segment is projected to dominate the market with a share
of 35.55% in 2026.
Increasing use of advanced AI-enabled diagnostic equipment for rapid
diagnosis and predictive analysis in developed countries is a major factor anticipated to contribute to the rising product demand during
the forecast period. Currently, only a handful of players operating in the market provide AI-enabled imaging technologies to the healthcare
industry.
The Nanox Ecosystem
The Nanox System
We have developed, and continue
to improve, the Nanox System, which has two integrated components — hardware (Nanox.ARC or Nanox.ARC X) and software (Nanox.CLOUD).
The Nanox.ARC, a 3D tomosynthesis imaging system, is designed to integrate our proprietary and novel digital X-ray source, known as Nanox.SOURCE.
Our X-ray source is based on a novel digital MEMs semiconductor cathode that we believe can achieve the same functionalities as legacy
X-ray analog cathodes, while allowing for lower-cost production than existing medical imaging systems. We have been developing this technology
over ten years towards the goal of commercial applicability. The Nanox.ARC X is an AI-ready, multi-source digital tomosynthesis system
that makes advanced 3D imaging possible in more places at significantly lower radiation dose than CT. The Nanox Systems achieve diagnostic
imaging with up to 80% less radiation compared to CT scans, for equivalent body parts, and minimize structural superimposition for clearer
imaging, compared to traditional X-rays.
76
Our technology aims to disrupt
the medical imaging market by providing accessibility and affordability on a global scale. Our goal is to enable medical institutions
and other significant medical players to either employ our solutions as a closed end-to-end system or to adopt a modular approach to our
technologies, by acquiring or licensing our different components and integrating our technologies into their specific product.
Legacy Analog X-ray Source and Limitations
of Existing Medical Imaging Systems
The X-ray tube technology
has essentially remained unchanged since its inception in 1895. For any type of imaging system to generate X-rays, the system must use
X-ray tubes as a source for the X-rays. The X-ray tube converts electrical power into X-rays by accelerating electrons to high energies,
causing them to hit a metal target from which the X-rays are emitted. X-rays can only be produced if the X-ray tube is energized, which
has historically required a significant amount of electrical energy to be transferred to the X-ray tube. However, only a small amount
of the energy deposited into the X-ray tube is actually converted into X-rays; the majority of the energy turns into heat.
Traditionally, an X- ray
system (or tube) is based on a thermionic (heat-based) mode of operation where a metal filament needs to be heated up to approximately
2,000°C to generate the electron stream (a “cathode”) that will hit a metal target (an “anode”) to generate
the photon-based X-ray stream resulting from that high-energy impact.
Heating the filament to approximately
2,000°C requires the mechanical cathode support systems to withstand high temperatures within a high vacuum, high voltage environment.
Tungsten was introduced into the X-ray tube in 1925 for its properties of a high melting point and ductility. The tungsten filaments still
used today are critical components of X-ray tubes, but they limit the lifetime of the X-ray tube due to the progressive evaporation of
filament material under these high temperatures. At temperatures of up to 2,000°C, the filament evaporates in hot spots close to the
peak temperature locations which over time can cause a catastrophic failure of the filament.
Nanox’s technology
exhibits the capability to swiftly switch between ON and OFF states within microseconds, a notable advancement compared to traditional
filament-based systems that operate in seconds. This feature positions the Nanox.ARC and the Nanox.ARC X as formidable solutions for both
industrial and security applications. Furthermore, the cathode module operates at low voltage, enhancing the overall simplicity of tube
operation with the focus grid. The design allows for the incorporation of multiple sources, providing versatility and adaptability to
various scenarios and applications.
We believe that the use of
the legacy analog X-ray source is one of the key factors for the high cost of existing medical imaging systems. The main categories of
medical imaging systems that use X-ray sources include legacy X-ray systems, CT (3D cross-sectional 360° “slicing”
X-ray imaging), mammography (2D and 3D breast X-ray imaging), fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray video imaging) and angiogram (blood vessels,
contrast X-ray imaging). CT scanners, for example, are complex diagnostic imaging systems that use X-rays to take images of a patient’s
internal structures and organs. Due to the limitations of the analog X-ray source described above, general radiographic X-ray tubes are
not well suited for use in a CT scanner. CT scanners instead use a specialized X-ray tube designed to withstand the excessive amount of
heat produced by continuous energization. This X-ray tube is located in the gantry, which is the largest part of a CT scanner and consists
of the X-ray detectors, the mechanical supports and the scanner housing. Due to the heat generated by this process, one of the most complex
mechanical challenges is cooling the analog X-ray source while rotating it in a heavy gantry at high-speed. One solution used is the rotating
anode, where a tungsten metal disk rotates at high revolutions per minute so the electron beam hits a different spot on the disk on a
continuous basis to prevent the concentration of heat in one spot on the disk and reduce the likelihood of overheating or burning. In
addition, CT scanners require a long continuous exposure time to create 3D images of the patient’s body using multiple X-ray images,
which means that the X-ray tube must be continually energized and that patients are continuously exposed to radiation throughout that
period. As a result of these complexities, most high-quality X-ray tubes for a CT scanner weigh between approximately 50 and 100 kilograms
with the cooling mechanism.
Our Novel Digital X-ray Source
Realizing that the X-ray
tube technology has essentially not changed in more than 120 years and remains a significant source of complexity and cost-driver
of existing X-ray-based medical imaging systems, we developed a novel digital X-ray source that we believe addresses these drawbacks and
will enable a new class of medical imaging systems that can be produced at a significantly lower cost than the existing systems.
77
Our technology has its roots
in field emission display (“FED”) technology. FED technology was originally developed by Sony with other technology partners,
for television screens and monitors, offering a novel way of lighting screen pixels compared to traditional cathode-ray tubes that were
based on a one-source electron gun beam. The field emission display innovation used multiple nano-scale electron guns to achieve a much
higher quality image with significantly reduced motion blur effects. In 2009, after having invested substantial resources in the development
of this technology for over a decade including through a joint venture called Field Emission Technologies, Inc. (“FET”), Sony
ceased development of the project.
In 2009, FET dissolved and
transferred certain assets to FET Japan Inc. (“FETJ”). Former scientists on our team, who worked at FETJ, applied their expertise
to develop non-display related applications, including our X-ray source technology. In 2011, our predecessor company acquired certain
non-display related know-how from FETJ and certain members of the FETJ technical team joined us.
After acquiring the technology,
we spent over eight years developing a digital X-ray source for the medical imaging industry that could be produced on a commercial scale.
Our X-ray source is a MEMs-based semiconductor cathode that achieves electron emission by a non-thermionic low-voltage trigger to approximately
100 million nano-scale molybdenum cones that act as multiple electron “guns,” instead of a single heated filament. The
cathode is housed in a customized X-ray tube.
We believe our X-ray source
has the following technological advantages over the analog X-ray source:
Reduced duration of radiation
exposure. Our X-ray source uses a digital chip that is designed to provide better
control and enables near-instantaneous on/off toggling of the electron beam. This source control also enables a precise synchronized operation,
which we believe can potentially result in significantly reduced duration of radiation exposure compared to an analog X-ray source.
X-ray source KvP / mA
decoupling. Our X-ray source is designed to create imaging using one X-ray source chip because there is complete independence and
separation between the strength of X-ray penetration and the amount of photons for illumination (referred to as “KvP / mA”).
KvP represents the speed of electrons that gives the X-ray its penetrating power, and higher KvP means the X-rays can penetrate higher
density materials such as bones. mA represents the amount of photons or brightness levels of the X-ray image. For legacy X-ray sources,
KvP / mA ratios were codependent in a linear relationship and each X-ray source could only produce one set of KvP / mA combinations dedicated
for a particular use (for example, either tissue images or bone images, but not both simultaneously). We believe our X-ray source technology
can produce multi-spectral imaging from one X-ray source, which allows for variable energy levels to be controlled during one scan. Therefore,
one source chip can be used for multiple types of scans, such as head-scans, abdomen, mammography and angiograms, involving both soft
and hard tissues at variable densities, simultaneously. We believe this multi-spectral imaging could also be applied to real-time video
imaging. Our latest working prototype uses up to 160 KvP / mA under lab conditions, and we commercialize the multi-source Nanox.ARC with
a range of 40 – 110 KvP / mA.
Longer lifetime. Our
X-ray source is based on a field of multiple electron guns on our MEMs-based cathode that spread the load of electron generation among
many “producers” compared to a single filament that heats to a high temperature in the analog X-ray tube. As a result, our
digital X-ray source is designed to enable to produce an electron beam from different locations on the chip towards the anode during each
duty cycle without the need for the complex, high precision rotating mechanism. In addition, the near instant on/off toggling feature
of our digital X-ray source is designed to allow us to reduce the duration of each operation. As a result, we believe our medical imaging
system will have higher stability and a longer lifetime, with a longer mean time between failures.
Simplified hardware structure.
Because our chip-based X-ray source and tube are designed to be quickly triggered electronically, we are able to have multiple stationary-anode
tubes arranged around the patient as opposed to one larger tube that rotates around the patient. We believe this could reduce the complexity
and cost of the Nanox.ARC and the Nanox.ARC X compared to legacy imaging devices. This current approach to increase durability of the
tungsten anode in imaging devices, the rotating anode mechanism requires both a significant increase in tube size and mechanical component
cost to allow for the complex movements of the tube. In contrast, we believe by using our X-ray source we will be able to significantly
reduce the size of X-ray tubes and simplify the structure of our medical imaging system.
78
We believe our X-ray source
has the potential to replace the legacy X-ray source in other existing imaging systems, as well as the X-ray source in systems used in
other industries, such as security scanners and NDT (non-distractive testing).
Nanox System
We have developed, and continue
to improve, the multi-source Nanox.ARC and Nanox.ARC X, medical devices that integrate our proprietary and novel X-ray source. Subject
to receiving requisite regulatory approval, the version of the multi-source Nanox.ARC that is being introduced to the market is a 3D tomosynthesis
imaging system that produces a 3D reconstruction of the scanned human body part. The Nanox.ARC, using our X-ray source, is designed to
produce partial-body scans of various body parts, with remote operation capability, and to have a full kVp / mA energy throughout range
as per industry standards, multi-spectral imaging range, as well as cloud connectivity and standard compliance safety mechanisms. It is
designed for easy setup and operation with multiple stationary X-ray tubes arranged around the patient. Part of the software used to run
the Nanox.ARC is cloud-computing based and integrated with the Nanox.CLOUD, as further explained below. The Nanox.ARC X is an AI-ready,
multi-source digital tomosynthesis system that makes advanced 3D imaging possible in more places at significantly lower radiation dose
than CT, which clearance covers the production of tomographic images for general use, including the human musculoskeletal system and pulmonary,
intra-abdominal and paranasal sinus indications, adjunctive to conventional radiography on adult patients. Amongst the features the Nanox.ARC
X has an even smaller footprint than the existing Nanox.ARC systems, enhancing one of our key differentiators. The new systems will also
be easy to deploy and use, with an anticipated one-day setup time and “plug and play” functionality. The Nanox Systems achieve
diagnostic imaging with up to 80% less radiation compared to CT scans, for equivalent body parts, and minimize structural superimposition
for clearer imaging, compared to traditional X-rays.
In addition to the Nanox.ARC
and Nanox.ARC X, we have developed, and continue to improve, the Nanox.CLOUD, a companion cloud software that will allow for the delivery
of medical screening as a service. With the Nanox.CLOUD, we anticipate that the high-cost components of existing medical imaging systems,
such as analytics and computing software that are traditionally installed via multiple licenses on-premise and on a per-system basis,
will become centralized through the cloud.
We believe this will significantly
reduce on-going software and IT licensing costs and enable a wide range of functionalities, such as multiple AI diagnostics and remote
support. By integrating the Nanox.CLOUD with the Nanox.ARC, we believe the Nanox System could provide a streamlined process and end-to-end
medical imaging service, including services such as image repository, radiologist matching, online and offline diagnostics review and
annotation, connectivity to diagnostic assistive AI systems, billing, monitoring and reporting.
We believe the Nanox System,
if cleared and approved by the requisite regulatory authorities in applicable jurisdictions, and successfully deployed, will streamline
the entire medical screening process ranging from scanning to support diagnostics, and solve the bottleneck of imaging-to-diagnostics.
We also expect to be able
to offer the Nanox System for a substantially lower cost than existing medical imaging systems, which we believe is key to achieving our
goal of making early-detection medical imaging systems more accessible globally. We believe our novel X-ray source is crucial to our ability
to substantially reduce the manufacturing cost of the Nanox.ARC and Nanox.ARC X. Our digital X-ray source generates X-ray radiation that
is measurably identical in all key metrics to the X-ray radiation generated by existing analog X-ray sources, but without creating the
high temperature that results from the filament used in the analog X-ray tube, thereby eliminating the need for the costly cooling equipment.
In addition, our digital X-ray source is designed to enable the Nanox.ARC to have multiple stationary tubes arranged around the patient,
which allows for a more simplified structure, as opposed to requiring the heavy, complex, high-precision rotating mechanisms used in legacy
CT devices. As a result, we expect that when we will be commercialized at scale, we will be able to offer the Nanox System at a substantially
lower cost than the cost of existing medical imaging systems based on analog X-ray sources.
On April 28, 2023, we received
a 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the Nanox.ARC (including the Nanox.CLOUD) as a stationary X-ray system intended to produce tomographic
images of the human musculoskeletal system adjunctive to conventional radiography, on adult patients. This device is intended to be used
in professional healthcare facilities or radiological environments, such as hospitals, clinics, imaging centers and other medical practices
by trained radiographers, radiologists and physicians.
On December 4, 2024, we received
510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Nanox.ARC, for general use including human musculoskeletal system, pulmonary, intra-abdominal, and
paranasal sinus indications, adjunctive to conventional radiography, on adult patients. In April 2025, we received a 510(k) clearance
from the FDA for the Nanox.ARC X, an AI-ready, multi-source digital tomosynthesis system that makes advanced 3D imaging possible in more
places at significantly lower radiation dose than CT, which clearance covers the production of tomographic images for general use, including
the human musculoskeletal system and pulmonary, intra-abdominal and paranasal sinus indications, adjunctive to conventional radiography
on adult patients. The Nanox Systems achieve diagnostic imaging with up to 80% less radiation compared to CT scans, for equivalent body
parts, and minimize structural superimposition for clearer imaging, compared to traditional X-rays. In February 2026, we received a 510(k)
clearance from the FDA for TAP2D, a new cloud enabled image enhancement capability for the Nanox.ARC and Nanox.ARC X.
79
We are constantly working
on product and technology future developments.
ARC.AI is the AI-Enabled
Image Analysis of the Nanox.ARC X. We are developing a Pulmonary solution which is expected to be the first AI application designed specifically
for the Nanox.ARC X. We identified the need for Tomosynthesis AI solution as prime requirement to support the growing market demand for
Cancer Screening initiatives. We are developing and evaluating artificial intelligence-based image analysis tools applied to chest scans
acquired with the Nanox.ARC X digital tomosynthesis system. In development phase, these tools have demonstrated the potential to enhance
the visibility of pulmonary nodules, which may represent early indicators of lung cancer. These AI-enabled capabilities are currently
under development, have not yet been fully validated, and remain subject to further clinical evaluation and applicable regulatory review.
Clinical Sites:
We believe that gathering
further clinical evidence will strengthen the support for our technology. We utilize clinical data as needed, for market validation, protocols
and professional training. Under the Helsinki permit, we started to collect clinical sample images of multiple human body anatomies with
a Nanox System that were deployed in the Shamir hospital in Israel. Additionally, we reached an agreement with Beilinson Hospital, a part
of the Clalit Health Services, the largest health service organization in Israel, to conduct a human trial designed to assess the diagnostic
capabilities of the Nanox System in detecting chest and lung diseases. This trial is currently ongoing.
In Beilinson, tens of patients
were already recruited for both the chest trial and the multisite trial. Together with the staff at Beilinson, we have reviewed patient’s
datasets and the results are impressive, continuing the trend we’ve published in a recent whitepaper from the first patients.
In Ghana, the multi-center
trial site is actively recruiting and the Nanox System is actively scanning patients- both for the clinical trial as well as part of clinical
practice.
We have also initiated a
collaboration with NDS Wellness, an independent provider of wellness screening programs located in Michigan, U.S. As part of this collaboration,
we are conducting clinical trial to further assess the clinical value of the Nanox.ARC system in the context of lung cancer detection,
management, and screening. The study was approved by the IRB and will initiate shortly, and is intended to support the generation of clinical
evidence regarding the use of digital tomosynthesis in pulmonary applications.
In the United States, Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center has joined a clinical trial evaluating a new artificial intelligence–based model under development by NanoxAI for
the measurement of aortic valve calcification. This solution is intended to quantify aortic valve calcium levels, which are considered
an important indicator associated with the risk of aortic valve disease. This model remains under development and is subject to ongoing
clinical evaluation and validation.
Outside the United States,
we have entered into a collaboration with Olympe Imagerie, a group of independent radiologists operating across multiple sites in the
Île-de-France region in France and utilizing advanced imaging facilities. Through this collaboration, the Nanox.ARC system has been
deployed at Hospital Privé Jacques Cartier in Massy, a private hospital within the Paris metropolitan area, as part of clinical
trials designed to further assess the value of the Nanox.ARC in supporting lung cancer detection, management, and screening.
In addition, the Nanox.ARC
system was recently installed in Meir hospital Orthopedic Emergency department, in order to assess the clinical utility of DTS in the
context of a ED in indications relevant for Orthopedics. The study will assess how integrating multi-source digital tomosynthesis into
early triage workflows may support clinical decision-making, comparing Nanox.ARC with conventional X-ray and CT. This collaboration represents
an important step in expanding our clinical evidence base and demonstrating the value of accessible 3D imaging at the point of care.
Furthermore, our established
HealthCCSng AI solution for opportunistic detection of CAC is currently being evaluated by three university medical centers (Mass General
Brigham, University of Washington and Wake Forest Health) assessing the effect on patient treatment rates of CAC detection. In all sites
we are currently in the 12-month follow up period and initial results will be presented in the SCCT conference this summer in San Diego.
We are anticipating that the promising results together with new Dyslipidemia guidelines from AHA/ACC will further strengthen the necessity
of such a solution for opportunistic screening in relevant healthcare organizations.
80
We expect that the Nanox
System, and other Nanox products will enable us to accumulate a significant number of medical images, which have the potential to be used
by collaborators, such as medical AI-analytics companies, through machine learning algorithms to increase the probability of early disease
detection.
The Nanox.ARC Business Model
We plan to commercialize
our X-ray source technology through three simultaneous business models: (i) the Subscription Model, (ii) the CapEx Model (sales)
and (iii) the Licensing Model for OEM. While we have historically expected the Subscription Model to be our primary business model
and the key vehicle to achieving our vision of increasing early detection of medical conditions that are discoverable by X-ray, we are
increasingly shifting toward a growing CapEx component, driven by the expansion of our business partner base in the United States.
The Subscription Model (MSaaS Model)
The foundation of the Subscription
Model is our integrated offering of the Nanox.ARC and the Nanox.CLOUD, which we refer to as the Nanox System. Under the Subscription Model,
which we also refer to as the MSaaS model (Medical Software as a Service), we aim to sell the Nanox System, following receipt of the requisite
regulatory authorities in applicable jurisdictions, at low cost or to provide the system at no cost, and to receive a portion of the proceeds
from each scan as the right-to-use licensing fee, and potentially additional fees for usage of the Nanox.MARKETPLACE, AI capability and
teleradiology services, with the remaining amount allocated among our partners, including the local operators, radiologists, cloud storage
providers, medical AI software providers and others, on a case by case basis. While the actual pricing charged by local operators may
be greater than our suggested retail price, the retail price per scan in all markets other than the United States is still expected to
be substantially less than the global average. In the United States, we expect the retail price to represent a significant reduction compared
to the average cost of a CT scan. The Nanox System is operated by local operators independent from us, and we contract with third parties
to provide the day-to-day maintenance of the Nanox System.
While we believe our novel
X-ray source could provide existing market participants with the paradigm shift needed for preventive healthcare disruption, we also believe
existing market participants are not likely to undertake the change-leadership route and will be slow to adopt the MSaaS model.
The CapEx Model (Sales)
In certain countries, including
the United States, we intend to commercialize our X-ray source technology using the CapEx Model to accommodate specific local regulatory
requirements, as well as increasing demand from our growing base of business partners. Under this model, we expect to sell the Nanox System,
following receipt of the requisite regulatory authorities in applicable jurisdictions, for a one-time charge. We expect this retail price
to be higher than the upfront sales price under the Subscription Model but still lower than the cost of existing medical imaging systems.
If required by applicable regulatory requirements in any jurisdiction, we may enter into arrangements with third-party cloud vendors,
on a case-by-case basis, which will be responsible for providing the cloud services (instead of the Nanox.CLOUD) and will be paid separately
by the owner-operators of the Nanox Systems. In addition, we expect to contract with third-party service providers to provide maintenance
services for the Nanox Systems at the owner-operators’ own costs.
81
The Licensing Model (OEM Model)
While we believe the medical
imaging industry will eventually migrate towards the recurring revenue-based MSaaS model, we expect certain leading market participants
will be slower to adopt this model. For these market participants, we expect to provide an intermediate solution through which they will
adopt our X-ray source technology for their existing systems. Under the Licensing Model, which we also refer to as the OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) model, we would be engaged to tailor our X-ray source to the specific systems of medical imaging device manufacturers or
other X-ray device manufacturers or to license our X-ray source technology to them to develop new types of imaging systems for, among
possible others, a one-time licensing fee upfront for the X-ray source, as well as recurring royalty payments for each system sold that
incorporates our X-ray source. The licensees would be responsible for the operation of the medical imaging systems integrating our X-ray
source. Although we expect to initially rely on the Licensing Model, in part, we view the Licensing Model as a transitional phase, aimed
at maximizing the commercial value of our technology and strategic buy-in from market participants to our vision through partnership and
commercial relationships.
Sales and Marketing
X-Ray Technology.
We plan to commercialize our X-ray technology using the three simultaneous business models described above broadly across the globe in
the next few years, including in the United States and certain countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Australia. Our sales
and marketing strategy varies depending on specific geographical regions, as different regions generally require different marketing approaches.
In most countries, other
than the United States, we expect to primarily market through local partnerships with strong national branding and operational market
participants in the target region. These local partners would be engaged in deploying and operating our medical imaging systems, training
and recruiting a local medical professional workforce to operate the systems and providing medical imaging diagnostics for the systems’
scan results.
U.S. go-to-market.
Based on market analysis of the U.S. market by clinicians, imaging administrators and directors, stakeholders recognize the clinical
benefits of the Nanox System and its more affordable approach to advanced imaging technology. Furthermore, outpatient facilities, such
as freestanding emergency clinics, and pulmonary clinics showed interest in adopting the Nanox System. Specifically, because such facilities
typically do not have CT capabilities, we believe such facilities view the Nanox System as a more affordable way to keep patients in-house
for advanced imaging needs, combined with a 2D X-ray. In addition, even among facilities that already have CT capabilities, stakeholders
have expressed interest in exploring the Nanox.ARC as a complementary solution, offering lower radiation dose, a smaller footprint, and
a potentially more cost-efficient alternative for certain imaging use cases. Outpatient facilities also expressed potential interest in
our MSaaS business model, which we believe could reduce the risk of an upfront purchase because the cost is based on actual use. We believe
that gathering further clinical evidence will strengthen the support for our technology. Our current U.S. go-to-market strategy is comprised
of three primary components: customer targeting, building a sales team and using a hybrid business model.
In terms of customer targeting,
we believe several factors impact willingness to adopt our system, including the type of facility, its current imaging capabilities and
imaging volumes, and geographic location, namely rural vs. urban. Our aim is to strategically engage segments that show early adoption
potential, such as orthopedic clinics, skilled nursing facilities, freestanding emergency departments and urgent care facilities. We intend
to continue to build clinical evidence particularly within the U.S. market, to support the adoption of our system, as well as reimbursement
mechanisms, specifically with commercial payers. We’ve strategically realigned our focus to enhance our presence in the U.S. market,
such that our initial efforts in commercialization and deployment within the U.S. are concentrated on select states. This approach allows
us, in the near term, to optimize customer service, delivery and support. To execute our strategy, we have allocated internal sales resources
and we are planning to leverage the USARAD network, in order to accelerate our initial penetration in the market. Furthermore, we are
in the process of enhancing a U.S. based sales and service team that will seek to generate leads, close sales, manage relationships, and
provide services for the Nanox System installed base. We are also in the process of engaging with independent service providers to provide
service needs in remote areas and to decrease equipment downtime. To date, other operational needs (such as medical affairs, regulatory,
billing, finance and contracting) are supported by the existing international Nanox organization.
For our business model in the U.S., we use a hybrid approach combining
a usage-based MSaaS model with a CapEx Model to help promote adoption, based on different segments, with an increasing focus on CapEx-driven
deployments supported by our growing network of channel partners We have designed a training program to promote the Nanox System, including
enablement of channel partners to support sales, installation and ongoing customer engagement. We also intend to use a combination of
pilot sites, training, service, sales, and marketing efforts to help meet customer needs, while leveraging third-party distributors and
strategic partners to expand our market reach. These aspects of our business strategy require us to hire additional experienced healthcare
business-development professionals as well as to build and manage relationships with channel partners, who are charged with raising awareness
of the Nanox System among physicians, hospitals, urgent care operators, and large health systems throughout the U.S.

Following a U.S. Reimbursement Landscape Assessment for Nanox.ARC,
it was found that the existing CPT code 76100 “Radiologic examination, single plane body section (eg, tomography), other than
with urography” would be a viable option to report tomosynthesis procedures utilizing the Nanox.ARC. Nanox.ARC users would be
able to report with appropriate ICD-10-PCS code(s). These ICD-10-PCS codes are for reporting services and procedures performed in the
inpatient hospital site of service. For the Nanox.ARC, clinics or hospitals operating it can use the CPT code 76100 for reporting. According
to the National Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and related schedules, as of November 2025 and February 2026, reimbursement rates for DTS
vary between uses by physicians and by hospital outpatients. Third-party payors may impose limits on coverage or reimbursement for diagnostic
imaging services, including denying reimbursement for tests that do not follow recommended diagnostic procedures or can only be billed
using an unlisted or miscellaneous code. Prior authorization is required for certain advanced imaging services through CMS’ Appropriate
Use Criteria (AUC) program and private payer prior authorization programs. Currently, although there are no AUCs for tomosynthesis in
general radiography, we plan to monitor the CMS AUC Program and Private Payers Prior Authorization process for radiology procedures for
any change.
We have recently entered into a distribution agreement with Howard
Technology Solutions (“Howard”) a division of Howard Industries to deploy, as of the date of this Annual Report, 300 Nanox.ARC
systems across the U.S. over three years. In addition, we continue to advance the deployment of the Nanox.ARC systems through direct sales
and commercial collaborations, with approximately 36 systems in various stages of deployment, additional 17 systems expected to be installed
over the following months as part of the Nanox Imaging Network initiative (as described below), and have executed distribution agreements
(including Howard) for approximately 360 CapEx systems in the U.S. over the next two to three years, with timing dependent on regulatory,
operational, and market factors. Most of the deployed systems have not yet begun to generate revenues. Such anticipated volumes, if executed
as expected, reflect the Company’s current commercial arrangements and the expected activities of its distribution partners; however,
the timing and extent of actual purchases are subject to a number of factors, including market adoption, customer demand, site readiness,
construction timelines, regulatory approvals, and the performance of such partners. While these agreements represent expected commercial
activity over time, many have not yet resulted in revenue, and the timing and extent of revenue recognition will depend on the progression
of deployments, system activations, and other factors, including the performance of our distribution partners. The introduction of new
medical technologies typically involves complex and multi-stage processes, including integration into clinical workflows, compliance with
regulatory frameworks, and development of supporting operational infrastructure. These factors may extend deployment timelines, particularly
in early stages, and may impact the timing of revenue generation.
Nanox Imaging Network
(NIN). Nanox has initiated Nanox Imaging Network (“NIN”), a limited Proof-of-Concept (“POC”) initiative, in
collaboration with Monarch Medical Management and Billing LLC (“Monarch”). NIN is intended to evaluate a network-based imaging
services operating model in the United States, focused on providing imaging services through selected sites serving workers’ compensation
and other specialized healthcare segments.
As part of the NIN POC, Nanox
is responsible for certain technical and operational elements, including imaging system deployment, maintenance of its Nanox.ARC systems,
connectivity and service support, while Monarch is responsible for site operations, personnel, regulatory permits, and local engagement.
The initiative is intended to serve a range of healthcare providers, including orthopedic and spine clinics, occupational health providers,
post-accident care providers, nursing homes and correctional healthcare facilities.
Certain target segments addressed
by the NIN POC, including workers’ compensation-related imaging services, are characterized by reimbursement structures that may
allow for higher per-scan pricing compared to standard reimbursement frameworks, depending on payer arrangements, state-specific fee schedules
and contractual terms. The NIN POC is intended, in part, to evaluate such reimbursement dynamics.
The POC is currently in an
early and limited deployment phase, with a limited number of sites identified and in various stages of setup. The POC is intended solely
to assess operational, regulatory and economic feasibility. Nanox has not committed to a rollout of NIN, and there can be no assurance
that the POC will be expanded, successfully implemented, or result in material revenues.
83
AI Solutions. We
currently focus our service, training, sales, and marketing efforts for our AI solutions in the U.S., EU and UK markets and target large
hospitals, HMOs, IDNs, marketplaces, pharmaceutical companies and insurers and third-party marketplaces.
Looking to the future of
Nanox.AI, the strong validation of these solutions by multiple health systems around the world drives us to develop additional algorithms
that can identify more health problems.
Nanox.AI is collaborating
with a U.S.-based healthcare company that operates medical screening programs focused on early disease detection. Under the terms of this
collaboration, Nanox.AI’s population health software solutions are integrated into the partner’s medical screening workflows
across multiple imaging center locations in the United States.
Through this model, Nanox.AI
provides technology solutions to a business customer that delivers screening services directly to individual consumers. As a result, Nanox.AI
does not contract directly with end patients but rather supports consumer-facing healthcare services indirectly through its commercial
partner. This business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) approach is intended to allow Nanox.AI to participate in consumer healthcare markets
while maintaining a business-to-business commercial relationship.
We’re also expanding
direct-to-clinician access to Nanox.AI solutions and launching new AI applications that have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy,
early detection, and patient management directly to clinics and physicians as an AI software add-on.
Nanox.AI continues to expand
its software and artificial intelligence–enabled product portfolio to support clinical care management and advanced image analysis.
Real+ Osteoporosis
Care Management Platform. Real+ is a comprehensive osteoporosis care management software platform for which development has been
completed. The solution is designed to support and automate key components of the osteoporosis care pathway, including patient intake,
approval, follow-up, and ongoing monitoring. Real+ is tailored to the operational needs of Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) centers and
is intended to support coordinated and timely care delivery while reducing administrative workload for clinical teams. Commercial deployment
of Real+ remains subject to customer adoption, integration, and applicable regulatory and operational considerations.
AI-Based Aortic Valve
Calcification Measurement (Under Development). Nanox is developing an artificial intelligence–based solution intended to
detect and quantify aortic valve calcification using standard non-contrast, non-gated CT scans. This solution is designed to support earlier
identification of patients who may be at risk for aortic stenosis and who may benefit from additional clinical evaluation. This product
is currently under development, has not been fully validated, and is subject to further clinical evaluation and applicable regulatory
review.
AI-Based Body Composition
Measurement (Under Development). Nanox is also developing an artificial intelligence–based body composition analysis capability
intended to assess fat and muscle parameters from CT imaging. This capability is being evaluated for potential inclusion in broader analytical
frameworks, including biological age analysis methodologies described in academic literature. This solution remains under development
and has not been validated for clinical use.
Nanox may evaluate potential
combined applications of body composition analysis and aortic valve calcification measurement; however, any such combined solutions are
at an early development stage and subject to further research, validation, and regulatory review. There can be no assurance that the AI-based
solutions described above will be successfully developed, approved, or commercially deployed.

IT’s services are designed for healthcare environments subject to extensive regulatory requirements. Nanox intends to integrate
Nanox Health IT’s operational and customer support infrastructure with Nanox AI solutions that have received FDA clearance and that
analyze routine CT scans for indicators of chronic diseases. Nanox Health IT’s goal is to support Nanox’s U.S. commercial
expansion. As part of its broader healthcare ecosystem, the acquisition is expected to strengthen its U.S. operations. Nanox’s overall
goal is to support the deployment, integration and scaling of its FDA-cleared AI imaging solutions across healthcare providers in the
United States.
Teleradiology Services
and Nanox.MARKETPLACE. We currently focus our service, training, sales, and marketing efforts for our teleradiology services and
the Nanox.MARKETPLACE in the U.S. market. We target daytime customers, including urgent care facilities, stand-alone imaging facilities
and outpatient imaging centers, as well as nighttime and weekend customers, comprised of hospitals and community hospitals (state and
local government).
We are continuing to explore
potential synergies and the expansion of our offerings. We have completed the integration of the Nanox.ARC and the Nanox.CLOUD with the
Nanox.MARKETPLACE, creating a 3D imaging system that enables remote readings of scans with AI-powered imaging analysis and a global teleradiology
solution.
Manufacturing and Supply of the Nanox.ARC and
Nanox.ARC X
We have optimized the MEMs
proprietary manufacturing process and initially used our own equipment in the clean rooms located at the University of Tokyo to manufacture
the MEMs X-ray chip. We commenced manufacture of the MEMs X-ray chips at our fabrication facility in Korea, which is expected to meet
our currently anticipated manufacturing needs. To secure additional chip supply in anticipation of commercialization scale up and acceleration
of manufacturing activity, we entered into an agreement with CSEM, a chip maker located in Switzerland.
We are in the final phase of the development under our original Research
and Development Agreement with CSEM (a Swiss technology innovation center with MEMS Foundry Services). We have validated CSEM’s
production process for our Nanox emitter, which is utilized in tubes for our Nanox.ARC systems. We will receive hundreds of production
level chips as this phase concludes in or around the middle of 2026. We intend to transition to a production supply agreement and going
forward will issue CSEM Purchase Orders as needed to supplement our chip supply needs. CSEM is additionally working on various novel emitter
designs utilizing the company’s proprietary field emission technology targeting our OEM pursuits in the areas of security and inspection.
We have continued to engage
third-party manufacturers and suppliers for the development and commercial production of our digital X-ray tubes for use in the Nanox.ARC
and Nanox.ARC X. We intend to continue engaging third-party manufacturers and suppliers, following additional clearances and approvals
by similar regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions, based on, among other things, cost effectiveness. We are currently developing
both ceramic and glass-based digital X-ray tubes for use in the Nanox.ARC and Nanox.ARC X.
Recently we adopted a restructuring plan intended to better align our
manufacturing cost structure with our long-term financial model, support our path toward improved gross margins, and align our manufacturing
capabilities with current and anticipated business needs and strategic priorities. As part of this plan and our broader cost reduction
efforts, we are restructuring our manufacturing footprint to improve gross margins, reduce capital expenditures, and enhance operational
efficiency. This includes transitioning away from certain manufacturing activities at our facility in South Korea, starting in the fourth
quarter of 2025, and moving from a company-owned manufacturing model to a more fully outsourced approach. In connection with this transition,
we expect to utilize our existing emitter inventory as we shift to a more efficient outsourced production model that is better aligned
with current and anticipated demand.
85
As part of the restructuring,
we will close our chip manufacturing line in South Korea, downsize our fabrication facilities, and transfer certain production activities
to third-party international manufacturing partners, including the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM). Following
these changes, we intend to focus our operations in South Korea on research and development (R&D) and tube production activities that
support the Nanox.ARC platform. The restructuring is expected to be substantially completed during fiscal year of 2026.
In connection with the restructuring,
we expect to incur restructuring and related charges, consisting primarily of costs related to the impairment of machinery and equipment
associated with our chip manufacturing line. We continue to evaluate the overall composition of the restructuring-related charges, including
potential additional cash components. The remaining restructuring-related costs, if any, are expected to be incurred over the course of
the implementation of the restructuring plan. The estimates of the total charges and the timing thereof are subject to a number of assumptions
and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially.
In September 2023, we entered into a Manufacture and Supply Agreement
with Varex, under which Varex will supply X-ray tubes utilizing the Nanox digital X-ray emitter for the Nanox.ARC system. The agreement
was entered into after Varex completed a preliminary assessment of our digital X-ray emitter. Under the agreement, we may order X-ray
tubes from Varex for use in our Nanox.ARC system. Varex agreed to manufacture and supply the X-ray tubes in exchange for payment therefor
in the form of a revenue-sharing fee (subject to a minimum annual amount per system) based on the Company’s worldwide pay-per-scan
revenue from Nanox.ARC systems using X-ray tubes manufactured by Varex. Subject to receipt of requisite local regulatory clearance, Nanox
has also agreed to use X-ray tubes manufactured by Varex in a minimum percentage of all Nanox.ARC systems that are deployed and operating.
On December 22, 2024, we
entered into a Development and Purchase Agreement with SKAN-X Radiology Devices SRL (“CEI”), an Italian manufacturer of X-ray
tubes. Under the agreement, CEI will manufacture X-ray tubes using semiconductor chips provided by the Company. The agreement establishes
CEI as a preferred supplier, subject to meeting certain capacity and quality requirements, with the Company committing to purchase a minimum
percentage of its tube requirements from CEI in regions where regulatory approval has been obtained.
In August 8, 2025, we entered into a multi-year Volume Supply Agreement
with Fabrinet, a leading global electronics manufacturing services provider from Singapore, to support the scalable manufacturing of Nanox.ARC
X systems. Under this agreement, Fabrinet will provide contract manufacturing services including assembly, testing, procurement, and quality
control, ensuring reliable and cost-effective product delivery aligned with Nanox’s specifications.
MSaaS Agreements for the Nanox System
Outside the U.S. market,
we have previously entered into a number of MSaaS agreements to deploy the Nanox.ARC (including the Nanox.CLOUD) in various regions. Under
the terms of each agreement, we granted the other party a limited, non-transferable, sub-licensable right to access and operate the Nanox.ARC
(including the Nanox.CLOUD) in the region applicable for such party. We undertake to provide a specified number of Nanox.ARCs (including
the Nanox.CLOUD)to each entity based on agreed shipment schedules, subject to local regulatory approval and material compliance with acceptance
test protocol, and subject the other party’s requirement to deliver to us a standby letter of credit or financial guarantee (the
“Conditions Precedent”). The other party undertakes to deploy the Nanox.ARCs (including the Nanox.CLOUD) to provide a minimum
number of scans per year on a pay-per-scan basis, and to pay a minimum annual fee. We undertake to provide billing services and training
for a local medical professional workforce to operate the Nanox.ARC (including the Nanox.CLOUD) and typically also undertake to provide
radiology and maintenance services to operate the Nanox.ARCs (including the Nanox.CLOUD). Each agreement will be in effect for multiple
years, ranging from three to seven years from the date of the applicable agreement or the date of fulfilment of the Conditions Precedent,
as applicable, which may be extended upon mutual consent.
86
As of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, Conditions Precedent
under most of these MSaaS agreements are yet to be met, and the agreements in a few regions, such as Russia and Belarus, are on freeze.
To the extent the Conditions Precedent under these MSaaS agreements are met, we expect that the terms of an applicable agreement will
be further negotiated before such agreement is implemented. There is no guarantee that we will able to successfully negotiate or implement
the terms of any former MSaaS agreement. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—The success of our business
models is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.”
In parallel, we have entered
into memorandums of understandings, preliminary agreements and distribution agreements with existing and potential partners for evaluation
of market penetration and deployment in various regions.
Since its commercial deployment there are few dozens of systems in
various stages of shipment and deployment, for both commercial and clinical use. In the U.S. we are deployed across several states, and
we are making ongoing efforts to expand our commercial footprint in Europe and the U.S, with new distribution agreements. We are focusing
on expanding our network of strategic collaborations, distributors and client base, and we have continued to advance the deployment of
the Nanox.ARC systems through a combination of direct sales and commercial collaborations, with approximately 36 systems currently in
various stages of deployment and an additional 17 systems expected to be installed in the coming months as part of the Nanox Imaging Network
initiative. In addition, as of the date of this Annual Report, we have executed distribution agreements for approximately 360 CapEx systems
in the United States over the next two to three years, with the timing of such deployments dependent on regulatory, operational, and market
factors.
We have been carefully expanding
the U.S. based commercial team to help ensure that we have the appropriate sales, clinical education and support infrastructure necessary
to drive our deployment in the U.S. An important element of our go to market strategy in the US – as it will be in other markets
– is to pursue the education of our potential customer base and key opinion leaders in medical imaging. Education and raising awareness
are therefore key elements of our marketing efforts, as we are expanding our key opinion leaders eco-system and increasing clinical value
evidence.
Our Nanox.ARC pipeline remains
robust, and we are continuously recruiting to expand our sales and clinical support teams in the U.S. This expansion is crucial to support
our growing customer base and ensure the successful deployment of our technology. We see a lot of interest from prospective and current
customers and professional healthcare facilities. Introducing new and innovative technologies into the conservative U.S. market is always
challenging, however we have a growing base of early adopters that have ordered and are using the Nanox system.
While we have commenced the
deployment in the U.S. market, most of the MSaaS agreements are still in their initial phases, and the pace of deployment continues to
be influenced by various external factors, including import licensing, construction timelines, and regulatory requirements in certain
markets. These processes are time-consuming and may delay system activation.
Accordingly, our current
revenue base remains at an early stage, and a portion of the deployed systems is not yet generating revenue. The pace of revenue ramp-up
will depend primarily on the timing of system activations, their transition into revenue-generating operations, and the extent and timing
of deployments by our business partners.
Collaboration Agreements
We enter into collaboration
agreements in the ordinary course of business.
Given that the Nanox.CLOUD
and the Nanox.MARKETPLACE are designed with the capability to receive scans from different imaging sources, in addition to the Nanox.ARC
and Nanox.ARC X, we intend to explore additional collaboration opportunities in the near future. For example, in 2022, we invested $1.0
million for approximately 1% of the shares of Remedi co Ltd. (“Remedi”), a Korean radiation specialist company in radiography
and therapy based on X-ray components. Remedi is a privately owned company, and we have an ongoing collaboration in the development of
the high voltage power supply for Nanox.ARC. In August 2022, we entered into a supply agreement with Remedi in order to integrate Remedi’s
two-dimensional (“2D”) imaging systems (using traditional X-ray tubes) to the Nanox.CLOUD and the Nanox.MARKETPLACE, creating
a mobile 2D X-ray system that enables remote readings of scans with AI-powered imaging analysis and a global teleradiology solution, which
we refer to as the “Nanox.CONNECT.” The Nanox.CONNECT is currently deployed in several beta sites in order to receive local
regulatory approvals and explore and evaluate the business model and the potential service.
87
Competition
The medical imaging equipment
market in which we operate is highly competitive and includes a range of established multinational corporations as well as emerging technology-focused
companies. The market is led by large, diversified vendors such as GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers, and Philips, which offer broad
product portfolios across multiple imaging modalities and benefit from significant scale, brand recognition, and long-standing customer
relationships. Several established mid-sized competitors, including Canon, Fujifilm, Samsung, Shimadzu, Agfa, Mindray, and Carestream,
also compete in various imaging segments. In addition, newer entrants, such as Adaptix, Micro-X, Oxos, and UPI Healthcare Solutions, are
seeking to compete through differentiated technologies, targeted clinical applications, or alternative business models. Competition is
based on multiple factors, including technological capabilities, clinical performance, regulatory approvals, pricing, business model,
service and support, and customer acceptance.
Over time, we anticipate
that the evolution in the industry will bring new players into the market. Digital healthcare disruptors such as cloud computing companies
or leading IT companies may enter the industry and we believe that they may become partners over time through our Subscription Model.
As a general matter, we view
competition on two levels:
● Competing digital X-ray sources with same or better attributes; and
● Competing enterprises operating an similar business models.
In terms of digital X-ray
sources, the field emission display technology is known and a wide range of industry leaders have used it to attempt to create an alternative,
digital source of X-ray. To our knowledge, the most well-known attempt to achieve a commercial grade, stable digital X-ray source was
the use of carbon nano tubes (“CNT”) as the base material for a potential field emission-based solution, and at least one
company has recently commercialized an X-ray system based on a CNT solution and there are several other companies currently in the process
of developing this technology.
In terms of the business
model, we currently seek a first-mover advantage by introducing both the Subscription Model as well as utilizing the CapEx Model, as the
main pre-requisite for this model is the low cost of the X-ray source (when manufactured at scale). However, the primary competition comes
from established market participants.
With respect to our AI
imaging solutions, a number of companies currently offer AI-based radiology solutions, which, to our knowledge, focuses on the
detection and triage of acute and urgent conditions. In addition, legacy healthcare technology companies are expected to further
expand their development efforts in the field of AI imaging solutions. For example, Siemens Healthineers has developed AI-Rad
Companion, which provides automated post-processing and quantitative analysis of imaging datasets using AI-powered algorithms,
primarily within its imaging ecosystem.
With respect to our teleradiology
services, the teleradiology market is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and fragmented, and is subject to changing technology and
market dynamics. The market has recently experienced and is expected to continue to experience competitive pricing pressure and radiologist
compensation pressure. We compete directly with both large and small-scale service providers who offer local, regional and national coverage
operations. We believe that our principal competitors are StatRad, ONRAD and vRad. We compete to attract and retain relationships with
customers and radiologists in different ways.
Security and Data Privacy
The Nanox System is being designed and developed with personal privacy,
data security and protection in mind as a top priority for all development parties. Medical imaging information and other health information
is highly personal and sensitive and thus regarded as a prime target for hacks and malicious theft. As part of our normal operations,
we collect, process and retain personal identifying information regarding patients.
We believe we are subject
to U.S. rules and regulations governing data protection, including HIPAA, HITECH and other privacy and data security regulations. See”—Government
Regulation—Healthcare Regulatory Laws—Data Privacy and Security.”
88
Separate from, and in addition
to, the GDPR requirements, certification requirements for the hosting of health data will vary by jurisdiction (and may or may not apply
to hosts of health data). As the Nanox System is projected to operate in various EEA countries, we may be required to comply with other
national healthcare regulations or regulatory requirements. For example, in France, there is a procedure as of April 1, 2018, for
hosts of health-related data to obtain a prior certification with the competent certification body. Similarly, in Israel, provision of
health data, including through cloud-based systems to health sector entities may be subject to certain data security certifications, such
as ISO 27001 and ISO 27799 pertaining to the secured processing of health-related data. Such certifications require further compliance
investments and maintenance costs.
We are dedicated to making
our systems and software both HIPAA and GDPR compliant. We intend to submit our systems to an independent external audit on a regular
basis as required by HHS. We also intend to develop our privacy protocols to comply with the GDPR. In addition, we are undertaking intendant
measures to ensure a high-level of imaging data encryption, complete separation between the imaging data and personal information (anonymization)
as well as MFA authentication procedures during on-boarding and usage of the Nanox System.
Government Regulation
The Nanox System and our
operations are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA, and other federal and state authorities in the United States, as well as comparable
authorities in foreign jurisdictions. The Nanox.ARC and Nanox.ARC X are subject to regulation as medical devices and radiation-emitting
devices in the United States under the FDCA, as implemented and enforced by the FDA, and under comparable regulatory schemes in foreign
jurisdictions.
FDA Regulation of Medical Devices
The FDA regulates the development,
design, non-clinical and clinical research, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, packaging, storage, installation, servicing, recordkeeping,
premarket clearance or approval, adverse event reporting, advertising, promotion, marketing and distribution, and import and export of
medical devices to ensure that medical devices distributed within the United States are safe and effective for their intended uses or
are substantially equivalent to a predicate device and otherwise meet the requirements of the FDCA.
FDA Premarket Clearance and Approval Requirements
Subject to certain exceptions,
each medical device commercially distributed in the United States requires either FDA clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, or
approval of a PMA application. Under the FDCA, medical devices are classified into one of three classes—Class I, Class II
or Class III—depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of manufacturer and regulatory
control needed to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Class I includes devices with the lowest risk to the patient and are those
for which safety and effectiveness can be assured by adherence to the FDA’s General Controls for medical devices, which include
compliance with the applicable portions of QSR, facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events and truthful
and non-misleading labeling, advertising and promotional materials. Class II devices are subject to the FDA’s General Controls,
and special controls as deemed necessary by the FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device. These special controls can include
performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient registries and FDA guidance documents.
While most Class I devices
are exempt from the 510(k) premarket notification requirement, manufacturers of most Class II devices are required to submit to the
FDA a premarket notification under Section 510(k) of the FDCA requesting permission to commercially distribute the device. The FDA’s
permission to commercially distribute a device subject to a 510(k) premarket notification is generally known as 510(k) clearance. Devices
deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risks, such as life sustaining, life supporting or some implantable devices, or devices that have
a new intended use, or use advanced technology that is not substantially equivalent to that of a legally marketed device, are placed in
Class III, requiring approval of a PMA. Some pre-amendment devices are unclassified, but are subject to the FDA’s premarket
notification and clearance process in order to be commercially distributed.
89
510(k) Clearance Marketing Pathway
The Nanox.ARC and Nanox.ARC
X are Class II devices that were subject to premarket notification and clearance under section 510(k) of the FDCA. To obtain 510(k)
clearance, we submitted to the FDA a premarket notification submission demonstrating that the proposed device is “substantially
equivalent” to a predicate device already on the market. A predicate device is a legally marketed device that is not subject to
premarket approval, i.e., a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device), and for which a PMA is
not required, a device that has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or I, or a device that was found substantially
equivalent through the 510(k) process. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to twelve months, but often takes
longer. In certain cases, the FDA may require additional information, including clinical data, to make a determination regarding substantial
equivalence. In addition, the FDA collects user fees for certain medical device submissions and annual fees and for medical device establishments.
On December 4, 2024, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Nanox.ARC, for general use including human musculoskeletal system,
pulmonary, intra-abdominal, and paranasal sinus indications, adjunctive to conventional radiography, on adult patients. In April 2025,
we received a 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Nanox.ARC X, an AI-ready, multi-source digital tomosynthesis system that makes advanced
3D imaging possible in more places at significantly lower radiation dose than CT, which clearance covers the production of tomographic
images for general use, including the human musculoskeletal system and pulmonary, intra-abdominal and paranasal sinus indications, adjunctive
to conventional radiography on adult patients. The Nanox Systems achieve diagnostic imaging with up to 80% less radiation compared to
CT scans, for equivalent body parts, and minimize structural superimposition for clearer imaging, compared to traditional X-rays. In February
2026, we received a 510(k) clearance from the FDA for TAP2D, a new cloud enabled image enhancement capability for the Nanox.ARC and Nanox.ARC
X.
If the FDA agrees that the
device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device currently on the market, it will grant 510(k) clearance to commercially market
the device. If the FDA determines that the device is “not substantially equivalent” to a previously cleared device, the device
is automatically designated as a Class III device. The device sponsor must then fulfill more rigorous PMA requirements, or can request
a risk-based classification determination for the device in accordance with the “de novo” process, which is a route
to market for novel medical devices that are low to moderate risk and are not substantially equivalent to a predicate device.
After a device receives 510(k)
marketing clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change
or modification in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or, depending on the modification, PMA approval or de novo
reclassification. The FDA requires each manufacturer to determine whether the proposed change requires submission of a 510(k), a de
novo request or a PMA in the first instance, but the FDA can review any such decision and disagree with a manufacturer’s determination.
If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer’s determination, the FDA can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or request
the recall of the modified device until 510(k) marketing clearance or until PMA approval is obtained or a de novo request is granted.
Also, in these circumstances, the manufacturer may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.
Over the last several years,
the FDA has proposed reforms to its 510(k) clearance process, and such proposals could include increased requirements for clinical data
and a longer review period, or could make it more difficult for manufacturers to utilize the 510(k) clearance process for their products.
For example, in November 2018, the FDA officials announced forthcoming steps that the FDA intends to take to modernize the premarket notification
pathway under Section 510(k) of the FDCA. Among other things, the FDA announced that it planned to develop proposals to drive manufacturers
utilizing the 510(k) pathway toward the use of newer predicates. These proposals included plans to potentially sunset certain older devices
that were used as predicates under the 510(k) clearance pathway, and to potentially publish a list of devices that have been cleared on
the basis of demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices that are more than 10 years old. In May 2019, the FDA solicited
public feedback on these proposals. The FDA requested public feedback on whether it should consider certain actions that might require
new authority, such as whether to sunset certain older devices that were used as predicates under the 510(k) clearance pathway. These
proposals have not yet been finalized or adopted, and the FDA may work with Congress to implement such proposals through legislation.
90
In September 2019, the FDA
finalized guidance describing an optional “safety and performance based” premarket review pathway for manufacturers of “certain,
well-understood device types” to demonstrate substantial equivalence under the 510(k) clearance pathway by showing that such device
meets objective safety and performance criteria established by the FDA, thereby obviating the need, in the case of applicable products,
for manufacturers to compare the safety and performance of their medical devices to specific predicate devices in the clearance process.
The FDA maintains a list of device types appropriate for the “safety and performance based” pathway and will continue to develop
product-specific guidance documents that identify the performance criteria for each such device type, as well as the testing methods recommended
in the guidance documents, where feasible. Also in September 2019, the FDA finalized guidance describing its current approach to the “Special
510(k)” program, which provides an optional pathway for certain well-defined device modifications where a manufacturer modifies
its own legally marketed device, and design control procedures produce reliable results that can form, in addition to other 510(k) content
requirements, the basis for substantial equivalence.
PMA Approval Pathway
Class III devices require
PMA approval before they can be marketed, although some pre-amendment Class III devices for which the FDA has not yet required a
PMA are cleared through the 510(k) process. The PMA process is more demanding than the 510(k) premarket notification process. In a PMA,
the manufacturer must demonstrate that the device is safe and effective, and the PMA must be supported by extensive data, including data
from preclinical studies and human clinical trials. The PMA must also contain a full description of the device and its components, a full
description of the methods, facilities and controls used for manufacturing and proposed labeling. Following receipt of a PMA, the FDA
determines whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If the FDA accepts the application for review,
it has 180 days under the FDCA to complete its review of a PMA, although in practice, the FDA’s review often takes significantly
longer, and can take up to several years. An advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA may be convened to review and evaluate the
application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to the approvability of the device. The FDA may or may not accept the panel’s
recommendation. In addition, the FDA will generally conduct a pre-approval inspection of the applicant or its third-party manufacturers’
or suppliers’ manufacturing facility or facilities to ensure compliance with the QSR. PMA devices are also subject to the payment
of user fees, which includes a standard application fee and an annual establishment registration fee.
The FDA will approve the
new device for commercial distribution if it determines that the data and information in the PMA constitute valid scientific evidence
and that there is reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended use(s). The FDA may approve a PMA with post-approval
conditions intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device, including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion,
sale and distribution and collection of long-term follow-up data from patients in the clinical study that supported PMA approval or requirements
to conduct additional clinical studies post-approval. The FDA may condition PMA approval on some form of post-market surveillance when
deemed necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and efficacy data for the device in a larger population
or for a longer period of use. In such cases, the manufacturer might be required to follow certain patient groups for a number of years
and to make periodic reports to the FDA on the clinical status of those patients. Failure to comply with the conditions of approval can
result in material adverse enforcement action, including withdrawal of the approval.
Certain changes to an approved
device, such as changes in manufacturing facilities, methods or quality control procedures, or changes in the design performance specifications,
which affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, require submission of a PMA supplement. PMA supplements often require submission
of the same type of information as a PMA, except that the supplement is limited to information needed to support any changes from the
device covered by the original PMA and may not require as extensive clinical data or the convening of an advisory panel. Certain other
changes to an approved device require the submission of a new PMA, such as when the design change causes a different intended use, mode
of operation, and technical basis of operation, or when the design change is so significant that a new generation of the device will be
developed, and the data that were submitted with the original PMA are not applicable for the change in demonstrating a reasonable assurance
of safety and effectiveness. We do not expect any of our products to be marketed pursuant to a PMA.
91
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are almost
always required to support a PMA and are sometimes required to support a 510(k) submission. All clinical investigations of devices to
determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with FDA and other regulatory requirements, including the FDA’s
investigational device exemption (“IDE”) regulations which govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of the
investigational device and specify an array of recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators.
If the device presents a “significant risk” to human health, as defined by the FDA, the FDA requires the device sponsor to
submit an IDE application to the FDA, which must become effective prior to commencing human clinical trials. If the device under evaluation
does not present a significant risk to human health, then the device sponsor is not required to submit an IDE application to the FDA before
initiating human clinical trials, but must still comply with abbreviated IDE requirements when conducting such trials. A significant risk
device is one that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety or welfare of a patient and either is implanted, used in
supporting or sustaining human life, substantially important in diagnosing, curing, mitigating or treating disease or otherwise preventing
impairment of human health, or otherwise presents a potential for serious risk to a subject. An IDE application must be supported by appropriate
data, such as animal and laboratory test results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is
scientifically sound. The IDE will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA notifies the company
that the investigation may not begin. If the FDA determines that there are deficiencies or other concerns with an IDE for which it requires
modification, the FDA may permit a clinical trial to proceed under a conditional approval.
Regardless of the degree
of risk presented by the medical device, clinical studies must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an Institutional
Review Board (“IRB”) for each clinical site. The IRB is responsible for the initial and continuing review of the IDE, and
may pose additional requirements for the conduct of the study. If an IDE application is approved by the FDA and one or more IRBs, human
clinical trials may begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a specific number of patients, as approved by the FDA. If
the device presents a non-significant risk to the patient, a sponsor may begin the clinical trial after obtaining approval for the trial
by one or more IRBs without separate approval from the FDA, but must still follow abbreviated IDE requirements, such as monitoring the
investigation, ensuring that the investigators obtain informed consent and labeling and record-keeping requirements. Acceptance of an
IDE application for review does not guarantee that the FDA will allow the IDE to become effective and, if it does become effective, the
FDA may or may not determine that the data derived from the trials support the safety and effectiveness of the device or warrant the continuation
of clinical trials. An IDE supplement must be submitted to, and approved by, the FDA before a sponsor or investigator may make a change
to the investigational plan that may affect its scientific soundness, study plan or the rights, safety or welfare of human subjects.
During a study, the sponsor
is required to comply with the applicable FDA requirements, including, for example, trial monitoring, selecting clinical investigators
and providing them with the investigational plan, ensuring IRB review, adverse event reporting, record keeping and prohibitions on the
promotion of investigational devices or on making safety or effectiveness claims for them. The clinical investigators in the clinical
study are also subject to FDA regulations and must obtain patient informed consent, rigorously follow the investigational plan and study
protocol, control the disposition of the investigational device and comply with all reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Additionally,
after a trial begins, we, the FDA or the IRB could suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a
belief that the risks to study subjects outweigh the anticipated benefits.
Post-market Regulation
After a device is cleared
or approved for marketing, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:
● establishment registration and device listing with the FDA;
92
● QSR requirements, which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the design and manufacturing process;
● labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of investigational products, or the promotion of “off-label” uses of cleared or approved products;
● requirements related to promotional activities;
● clearance or approval of product modifications to 510(k)-cleared devices that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness or that would constitute a major change in intended use of one of our cleared devices, or approval of certain modifications to PMA-approved devices;
● medical device reporting regulations, which require that a manufacturer report to the FDA if a device it markets may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or has malfunctioned and the device or a similar device that it markets would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, if the malfunction were to recur;
● correction, removal and recall reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health;
● the FDA’s recall authority, whereby the agency can order device manufacturers to recall from the market a product that is in violation of governing laws and regulations; and
● post-market surveillance activities and regulations, which apply when deemed by the FDA to be necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.
Our manufacturing processes
are required to comply with the applicable portions of the QSR, which cover the methods and the facilities and controls for the design,
manufacture, testing, production, processes, controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, distribution, installation and servicing
of finished devices intended for human use. The QSR also requires, among other things, maintenance of a device master file, device history
file and complaint files. As a manufacturer, we will be subject to periodic scheduled or unscheduled inspections by the FDA. Our failure
to maintain compliance with the QSR requirements could result in the shut-down of, or restrictions on, our manufacturing operations and
the recall or seizure of our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. The discovery of previously unknown
problems with any of our products, including unanticipated adverse events or adverse events of increasing severity or frequency, whether
resulting from the use of the device within the scope of its clearance or off-label by a physician in the practice of medicine, could
result in restrictions on the device, including the removal of the product from the market or voluntary or mandatory device recalls.
The FDA has broad regulatory
compliance and enforcement powers. If the FDA determines that we failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it can take
a variety of compliance or enforcement actions, which may result in any of the following sanctions:
● warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;
● recalls, withdrawals or administrative detention or seizure of our products;
● operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;
93
● refusing or delaying requests for 510(k) marketing clearance or PMA approvals of new products or modified products;
● withdrawing 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals that have already been granted;
● refusal to grant export approvals for our products; or
● criminal prosecution.
Teleradiology
The healthcare industry is
highly regulated. Our ability to operate profitably will depend in part upon the ability of us, our affiliated radiologists, and our customers
to obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and other approvals to comply with applicable healthcare regulations. We believe healthcare
regulations will continue to change. Therefore, we monitor developments in healthcare law and we are likely to be required to modify our
operations from time to time as the business and regulatory environment changes. Although we believe that we are operating in compliance
with applicable federal and state laws, we cannot assure you that review of our business by courts or regulatory authorities will not
result in determination that could adversely affect our operations or that the healthcare regulatory environment will not change in way
that restricts our operations. Future changes in healthcare regulation are difficult to predict and may constrain or require us to restructure
our operations, which could negatively impact our business and operating results.
Radiological Devices
We and our products are also
regulated by the FDA under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions of the FDCA because the Nanox.ARC and Nanox.ARC X contain
radiation emitting components, and because we assemble these components during manufacturing and service activities. The Electronic Product
Radiation Control provisions require radiation-producing products to comply with certain regulations and applicable performance standards.
Manufacturers are required to certify in product labeling and reports to the FDA that their products comply with all necessary standards
as well as maintain manufacturing, testing and sales records for their products. The Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions also
require manufacturers to report product defects and affix appropriate labeling to covered products. Failure to comply with these requirements
could result in enforcement action by the FDA, which can include any of the sanctions described above.
Healthcare Regulatory Laws
Within the United States,
our products and our customers will be subject to extensive regulation by a wide range of federal and state agencies that govern business
practices in the medical device industry. These laws include federal and state anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, false claims, transparency
and anti-corruption statutes and regulations. Internationally, other governments also impose regulations in connection with their healthcare
reimbursement programs and the delivery of healthcare items and services.
In addition to FDA device
registration and the tracking of medical X-ray producing equipment installations via Form 2579, the use of any device which produces ionizing
radiation (X-Ray) is regulated by individual states. States’ X-Ray performance & safety test rules vary widely. Typically, new
equipment must be registered with the state or local radiation control agency by the facility or practice operating the equipment. Registrants
must have certain tests performed or allow inspectors to perform such tests to assure compliance with health department requirements.
Registration is typically good for one year and must be renewed annually. Changes made to equipment, including replacement of X-Ray tubes,
may require additional notifications and/or recertification by a radiation physicist. Facilities must have proper shielding to protect
against radiation exposure and states have different requirements for signage, warning sights and interlocks. States typically require
X-ray equipment installation, testing and repair only be performed by approved personnel.
94
U.S. federal healthcare fraud
and abuse laws will generally apply to our activities, among other reasons because we expect that our products will be covered under federal
healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The Anti-Kickback Statute is particularly relevant because of its broad applicability.
Specifically, the Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration,
directly or indirectly, in exchange for, or to induce, either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, arranging for or recommending
a good or service for which payment may be made in whole or part under federal healthcare programs, such as the Medicare and Medicaid
programs. A broad range of financial interactions with a healthcare provider, patient or customer may implicate the Anti-Kickback Statute.
Statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protect certain interactions if specific requirements are met. However, only those interactions
that represent fair market value exchanges generally are protected by a safe harbor or exception. The government can exercise enforcement
discretion in taking action against unprotected activities. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the
Anti-Kickback Statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. In addition, the government may assert
that a claim involving items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute also constitutes a false or fraudulent
claim for purposes of the federal False Claims Act or federal civil money penalties statute. Penalties for Anti-Kickback Statute violations
may include both criminal penalties such as imprisonment and fines and civil sanctions such as civil penalties and possible exclusion
from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. Exclusion would mean that diagnostic tests using our products would no
longer be eligible for reimbursement under federal healthcare programs.
Many states have adopted
laws similar to the Anti-Kickback Statute. Some of these state prohibitions apply to referral of patients for healthcare items or services
reimbursed by any payor, not only federal healthcare programs. Insurance companies may also bring a private cause of action for treble
damages against a manufacturer for a pattern of causing false claims to be filed under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
Act. We believe that we are operating in compliance with applicable federal and state anti-kickback laws and that our contractual arrangements
with our customers are structured in manner that complies with such laws.
Another development affecting
the healthcare industry is the increased use of the federal civil False Claims Act and, in particular, actions brought pursuant to the
False Claims Act’s “whistleblower” or “qui tam” provisions. The False Claims Act imposes liability on any
person or entity that, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment by a
federal healthcare program. The qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act allow a private individual to bring actions on behalf of the
federal government alleging that the defendant has submitted a false claim to the federal government, and to share in any monetary recovery.
In recent years, the number of suits brought against healthcare providers by private individuals has increased dramatically. In addition,
various states have enacted false claim laws analogous to the Civil False Claims Act, although many of these state laws apply where a
claim is submitted to any third-party payor and not merely a federal healthcare program.
Under the Federal False Claims
Act, we may be liable if we or one of our customers submitted a false claim. If we were found to have violated these laws and regulations
and as result submitted or caused our customers to submit a false claim, any sanctions imposed under the Federal False Claims Act could
result in substantial fines and penalties or exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs which could have a
material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. If we are excluded from participation in federal or state healthcare
programs, our customers who participate in those programs could not do business with us. Federal regulatory and law enforcement authorities
regularly review and enforce activities with respect to Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse regulations and other reimbursement laws
and regulations, including laws and regulations that govern our activities and the activities of teleradiologists. These increased enforcement
activities may have a direct or indirect adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We believe that
we are operating in compliance with these laws. However, if we are found to have violated such laws, our business, results of operations
and financial condition would be harmed.
95
The federal physician self-referral
statute, known as the Stark Law, prohibits physicians from making referrals for certain designated health services, including radiology
services, to any entity with which the physician has a financial relationship unless there is an exception in the statute that allows
the referral. The entity that receives a prohibited referral from a physician may not submit the bill to Medicare for that service. Federal
courts have ruled that violations of the Stark Law, as well as violations of the federal anti-kickback laws described above, can serve
as the basis for Federal False Claims Act suits. Many state laws prohibit physician referrals to entities with which the physician has
a financial interest or require that the physician provide the patient with notice of the physician’s financial relationship before
making the referral. Violation of the Stark Law can result in substantial civil penalties for both the referring physician and any entity
that submits a claim for healthcare service made pursuant to a prohibited referral. We believe that all our customer arrangements are
in compliance with the Stark Law. However, these laws could be interpreted in a manner inconsistent with our operations. Federal or state
self-referral regulation could impact our arrangements with certain customers.
The federal Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, among other things, created two new federal crimes: healthcare fraud and false statements
relating to healthcare matters. The HIPAA healthcare fraud statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully executing, or
attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private payors. A violation of this statute is a
felony and may result in fines, imprisonment and/or exclusion from government-sponsored programs. The HIPAA false statements statute prohibits,
among other things, knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious
or fraudulent statement or representation in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. A
violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines and/or imprisonment. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person
or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statutes or specific intent to violate them in order to have committed a violation.
In addition, HIPAA authorizes
the imposition of civil money penalties against entities that employ or enter into contracts with individuals or entities who have been
excluded from participation in the Medicare or Medicaid programs. We perform background checks on our affiliated radiologists, and we
do not believe that we engage or contract with any excluded individuals or entities. However, a finding that we have violated this provision
of HIPAA could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We believe that our services have not historically
been provided in a way that would place either our clients or ourselves at risk of violating HIPAA anti-fraud statutes, including those
in which we may be considered to receive an indirect reimbursement, because of the reassignment by us to our customers of the right to
collect for final reads. We have entered into agreements, and may in the future enter into agreements, with hospitals that are subject
to an integrity order by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General (the “HHS-OIG”)
that requires the hospital to ensure that each subcontractor to the hospital fully complies with HIPAA and the terms of the integrity
order, including written policies and procedures assuring compliance, and subjects each subcontractor to audit at the determination of
the HHS-OIG. We could be vulnerable to prosecution under these statutes if any of our customers deliberately or recklessly submits claims
that contain false, misleading or incomplete information. In addition, the administrative simplification provisions of HIPAA require the
promulgation of regulations establishing national standards for, among other things, certain electronic healthcare transactions, the use
and disclosure of certain individually identifiable patient health information and the security of the electronic systems maintaining
this information. These are commonly known as the HIPAA transaction and code set standards, privacy rule and security rule, respectively.
The administrative simplification provisions of HIPAA direct the federal government to adopt national electronic standards for automated
transfer of certain healthcare data among healthcare payers plans and providers, intended to enable healthcare industry participants to
communicate electronic data using a single set of standards. We are a covered entity under HIPAA and as such we must operate in compliance
with the electronic transaction and code set standards, privacy rule and security rule. We are also a business associate under HIPAA because
we provide services for or on behalf of other covered entities. We have developed policies, procedures, and systems for handling patient
health information that we believe comply with the requirements of HIPAA.
96
Laws and regulations have
also been enacted by the federal government and various states to regulate the sales and marketing practices of medical device and pharmaceutical
manufacturers. The laws and regulations generally limit financial interactions between manufacturers and healthcare providers, require
pharmaceutical and medical device companies to comply with voluntary compliance standards issued by industry associations and the relevant
compliance guidance promulgated by the U.S. federal government and/or require disclosure to the government and/or public of financial
interactions (so-called “sunshine laws”). Many of these laws and regulations contain ambiguous requirements or require administrative
guidance for implementation. Manufacturers must adopt reasonable interpretations of requirements if there is ambiguity and those interpretations
could be challenged. Given the lack of clarity in laws and their implementation, our activities could be subject to the penalty provisions
of the pertinent federal and state laws and regulations.
In addition, the practice
of medicine, including the practice of radiology and teleradiology, is subject to state licensure laws, regulations and approvals. Physicians
located in one state who provide professional medical services to patients located in another state via a telemedicine system must ordinarily
hold a valid license to practice medicine in both the state where the physician is located and the state in which the patient is located.
We have established a system for ensuring that our affiliated radiologists are appropriately licensed under applicable state law. If we
are unable to obtain proper physician licenses or hospital credentials on behalf of our affiliated radiologists, or if our affiliated
radiologists lose those licenses or credentials, our business financial condition and results of operations may be negatively impacted.
Generally, corporate practice
of medicine laws prohibit anyone but duly licensed physicians from exercising control over the medical judgments or decisions rendered
by another physician. Given that general prohibition, some states permit business corporations to hold directly or indirectly customer
contracts for the provision of medical services, including radiology and teleradiology, and to own a medical practice that provides such
services, provided that only physicians exercise control over the medical judgments or decisions of other physicians. Moreover, the laws
of such states may prohibit anyone but a physician who is duly licensed in such state from owning any interest in a medical practice that
is incorporated or doing business in such state or the state of incorporation. Failure to comply with these laws could have material and
adverse consequences including the judicially sanctioned refusal of third-party payers to pay for services rendered, the absolute right
of customers to immediately repudiate the contract for services, malpractice claims or license revocation or suspension proceedings against
the provider and possibly the hospital based upon the alleged violation of statute designed to protect the public, as well as civil or
criminal penalties. We believe that we are following the corporate practice of medicine laws in each state in which our affiliated radiologists
provide medical services. Each of these are duly licensed or qualified as a medical practice in the states where such license or qualification
is required. We do not exercise control over the medical judgments or decisions of our affiliated radiologists. While we believe we follow
the requirements of the corporate practice of medicine laws in each state where our affiliated radiologists provide services, these laws
and their interpretations are continually evolving and may change in the future. Moreover, these laws and their interpretations are generally
enforced by state courts and regulatory agencies that have broad discretion in their enforcement. If our arrangements with our affiliated
radiologists or our customers are found to violate state laws prohibiting the practice of medicine by general business corporations or
fee splitting, our business financial condition and ability to operate in those states could be adversely affected.
Many states have enacted
laws prohibiting physicians from splitting fees derived from the practice of medicine with anyone else. We believe that the management
administrative technical and other nonmedical services we provide to each of our affiliated radiologists for service fee does not constitute
fee splitting. Our belief notwithstanding, these laws and their interpretations also vary from state to state and are also enforced by
state courts and regulatory authorities that have broad discretion in their enforcement. If our arrangements with our affiliated radiologists
or our customers are found to violate state laws prohibiting the practice of medicine by general business corporations or fee splitting
our business financial condition and ability to operate in those states could be adversely affected.
97
CMS has certain anti-markup
rules relating to diagnostic tests paid for by the Medicare program. The anti-markup rules are generally applicable where a physician
or other supplier bills for the technical component or professional component of a diagnostic test that was ordered by the physician or
other supplier or ordered by a party related to such physician or other supplier through common ownership or control, and the diagnostic
test is performed by a physician that does not share a practice with the billing physician or other supplier. If the anti-markup rule
applies to a diagnostic test, then the reimbursement provided by Medicare to the billing physician or other supplier for that transaction
may be limited. Because our affiliated radiologists do not order diagnostic tests and no party under common control with either us or
our affiliated radiologists orders diagnostic tests, we believe that the anti-markup rule does not apply to the professional services
our affiliated radiologists perform. However, this rule could be subject to an interpretation that affects the amounts either we or our
customers may be reimbursed by Medicare for professional diagnostic interpretations.
Coverage and Reimbursement
Over the past few years,
the growth rate of advanced imaging volumes has slowed in part due to additional patient-related cost-sharing programs and an increasing
trend of third-party payors intensifying their utilization management efforts, for example, through benefit managers who require prior
authorizations to control the growth rate of imaging services generally. We expect that these trends will continue.
By way of example, in the
United States, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 required CMS, in conjunction with medical specialty societies, to adopt AUC
for certain advanced diagnostic imaging services, including MRI, CT, nuclear medicine (including position emission tomography). Under
this provision, payment is to be made to the furnishing professional for an applicable advanced diagnostic imaging service only if the
claim indicates that the ordering professional consulted a qualified clinical decision support mechanism, as identified by HHS, as to
whether the ordered service adheres to the applicable AUC. Applicable settings include physician offices, hospital outpatient departments,
including emergency departments, ambulatory surgical centers and independent diagnostic testing facilities. Advanced imaging services
ordered by certain physicians identified as having outlier-ordering partners will be subject to prior authorization for applicable imaging
services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. In July 2022, CMS announced that the payment penalty phase for the AUC program would not
begin on January 1, 2023 even if the public health emergency for COVID-19 ended in 2022 and that it was unable to forecast when the payment
penalty phase would begin. The outlier methodology used by CMS will be subject to future notice and comment rulemaking before the prior
authorization component is implemented. We cannot predict the full impact of this project.
Third-party payors may impose
limits on coverage or reimbursement for diagnostic imaging services, including denying reimbursement for tests that do not follow recommended
diagnostic procedures or can only be billed using an unlisted or miscellaneous code. To the extent our customers will depend on third-party
payors, unfavorable coding, coverage and reimbursement policies may constrict the profit margins of our provider customers, which may
force us to lower our fees to attract and retain customers. If we are required to request new billing codes that more precisely identify
and describe our imaging services, coverage is limited or reimbursement rates are inadequate, a healthcare provider might find it financially
unattractive to own our diagnostic imaging systems. It is possible that third-party payor coding, coverage and reimbursement policies
will affect the need or prices for our products in the future, which could significantly affect our financial performance and our ability
to conduct our business.
98
In addition, as of December
31, 2025, all of our affiliated radiologists were located within the United States and are eligible to submit to Medicare and state Medicaid
programs for reimbursement for services performed. Where our affiliated radiologists provide final reads that are reimbursable under these
programs, our business model generally provides that we are still paid service fees by our customers who accept reassignment and bear
the risk of loss of reimbursement when collecting from payers. As a result, our service fees do not fluctuate or change based solely on
changes in Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement levels. Medicare reimbursement rules generally provide that the proper Medicare carrier
to pay physicians’ claims is the Medicare carrier for the region in which the physician or practice providing the service is located
rather than the Medicare carrier for the region in which the patient receiving the services is located. Many of our affiliated radiologists
are located in a Medicare region that is different from the Medicare region in which the patients and treating hospitals are located.
It may be necessary for our customers to enroll with additional Medicare carriers to properly submit claims for reimbursement. CMS has
stated that for certain interpretation services provided to certain customers, reimbursement will be based upon the location of the interpreting
physician, yet that reimbursement will be made by the Medicare carrier for the region in which the patient and facility are located. Whether
this policy will be expanded to other types of interpretation services and facilities is unclear.
Healthcare Reform
In the United States and
certain foreign jurisdictions, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes
to the healthcare system. In March 2010, the ACA was signed into law and substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both
governmental and private insurers in the United States. The ACA contains a number of provisions, including those governing enrollment
in federal healthcare programs, reimbursement adjustments and fraud and abuse changes. Additionally, the ACA imposed, among other things,
a new federal excise tax on the sale of certain medical devices, which, through a series of legislative amendments, was suspended, effective
January 1, 2016, and subsequently repealed altogether on December 20, 2019, provided incentives to programs that increase the
federal government’s comparative effectiveness research and implemented payment system reforms including a national pilot program
on payment bundling to encourage hospitals, physicians and other providers to improve the coordination, quality and efficiency of certain
healthcare services through bundled payment models.
Since its enactment, there have been judicial and Congressional challenges
to certain aspects of the ACA, and we expect there will be additional challenges and amendments to the ACA in the future. By way of example,
a case challenging the ACA’s requirement that private insurers cover certain preventative services is currently pending before the
U.S. District Court Judge for the Northern District of Texas. In March 2023, the judge struck down this requirement with immediate nationwide
effect on March 30, 2023, and, on appeal, in June 2024 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held, among other things, that
the ACA’s requirement that group health plans and health insurance issuers cover certain preventative services without cost-sharing
is unconstitutional. The parties have petitioned to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which granted certiorari in January 2025.
It is unclear how these decisions and appeals, future decisions, subsequent appeals, and other efforts to repeal and replace the ACA will
impact the ACA.
Other legislative changes
have been proposed and adopted in the United States since the ACA was enacted, including aggregate reductions of Medicare payments to
providers of 2% per fiscal year, which was temporarily suspended from May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2022, followed by a 1% reduction in
effect from April 2022 through June 2022 with the full 2% reduction resuming thereafter, and reduced payments to several types of Medicare
providers. Further, a budget resolution passed by the House of Representatives in February 2025 proposed significant spending reductions
for Medicaid and other federal programs, which, if enacted as part of a future U.S. federal budget, could impact our future business prospects.
We believe the overall escalating cost of medical products and services being paid for by the government and private health insurance
has led to, and will continue to lead to, increased pressures on the healthcare and medical device industry to reduce the costs of products
and services.

Data Privacy and Security
Medical device companies
may be subject to U.S. federal and state and foreign health information privacy, security and data breach notification laws, which may
govern the collection, use, disclosure and protection of health-related and other personal information. In the United States, HIPAA imposes
privacy, security and breach reporting obligations with respect to individually identifiable health information upon “covered entities”
(health plans, health care clearinghouses and certain health care providers), and their respective business associates, individuals or
entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information in connection with providing a service for or on behalf
of a covered entity. HIPAA and its respective implementing regulations, including the final omnibus rule published on January 25,
2013, impose specified requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information.
In certain cases, HIPAA mandates the reporting of certain breaches of health information to HHS, affected individuals, and if the breach
is large enough, the media. Entities that are found to be in violation of HIPAA as the result of a breach of unsecured protected health
information, a complaint about privacy practices or an audit by HHS, may be subject to significant civil, criminal and administrative
fines and penalties and/or additional reporting and oversight obligations if required to enter into a resolution agreement and corrective
action plan with HHS to settle allegations of HIPAA non-compliance. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health
Act also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against covered entities, business associates and possibly other
persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce
the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions.
Even when HIPAA does not
apply, according to the Federal Trade Commission or the FTC, failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information
secure constitutes unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act,
15 U.S.C § 45(a). The FTC expects a company’s data security measures to be reasonable and appropriate in light of the sensitivity
and volume of consumer information it holds, the size and complexity of its business, and the cost of available tools to improve security
and reduce vulnerabilities. Individually identifiable health information is considered sensitive data that merits stronger safeguards.
The FTC’s guidance for appropriately securing consumers’ personal information is similar to what is required by the HIPAA
Security Rule.
Another example of recent
U.S. data security requirements is FDORA, which, among other provisions, requires developers of certain “cyber devices” to
design and implement plans to monitor, identify and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities of those devices and to submit those plans to
the FDA as part of every new product application for a cyber device. “Cyber devices” are defined as devices that include software,
connect to the internet, and contain any technological features that could be vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. This provision has
entered into effect on March 29, 2023.
In addition, certain state
and non-U.S. laws, such as the GDPR, govern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, some of which are
more stringent or broader in scope than HIPAA and many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect,
thus complicating compliance efforts. Further, “business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered
entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information in connection with providing a service for or on behalf
of a covered entity, are also subject to certain HIPAA privacy and security standards. Failure to comply with these laws, where applicable,
can result in the imposition of significant civil and/or criminal penalties and private litigation. For example, the California Consumer
Privacy Act (CCPA), which took effect on January 1, 2020, and was further expanded by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which
took effect on January 1, 2023, presents one of the broadest U.S. state privacy laws. It imposes heightened transparency obligations about
data collection, use, and sharing practices, adds restrictions on the transfer of personal information to third parties including for
advertising or analytics purposes and grants data privacy rights to consumers. Following the Californian example, various U.S. states
have passed, or are in the process of passing, similar state privacy laws. Non-compliance with state privacy laws could result in regulatory
investigations and enforcement actions, private litigation (including class actions), significant fines and remediation costs, operational
restrictions, and reputational harm. In Europe, the GDPR introduced strict requirements for processing the personal data of individuals.
Companies that must comply with the GDPR face increased compliance obligations and risk, including more robust regulatory enforcement
of data protection requirements and potential fines for noncompliance as set out above. The State of Israel has also implemented data
protection laws and regulations, including the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law of 1981.
100
While it is generally the
laws of the jurisdiction in which our business is located apply, there is a risk that data protection regulators of other countries may
seek jurisdiction over our remotely activities in locations in which we process data of our customers, but do not have an operating entity.
Where the local data protection and privacy laws of a jurisdiction apply, we may be required to register our operations in that jurisdiction
or make changes to our business so that personal data is only collected and processed in accordance with applicable local law. In addition,
because our services are accessible worldwide, certain foreign jurisdictions may claim that we are required to comply with their privacy
and data protection laws, including in jurisdictions where we have no local entity, employees or infrastructure. In such cases, we may
require additional legal review and resources to ensure compliance with any applicable privacy or data protection laws and regulations.
In addition, in many jurisdictions there may in the future be new legislation that may affect our business and require additional legal
review. Additionally, if third parties we work with violate applicable laws, regulations, or contractual obligations, such violations
may put our users’ data at risk, could result in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, fines, litigation, claims,
or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could result in significant liability, cause our users to lose
trust in us, and otherwise materially and adversely affect our reputation and business. Further, public scrutiny of, or complaints about,
technology companies or their data handling or data protection practices, even if unrelated to our business, industry, or operations,
may lead to increased scrutiny of technology companies, including us, and may cause government agencies to enact additional regulatory
requirements, or to modify their enforcement or investigation activities, which may increase our costs and risks.
Foreign Regulation
As we plan to market and
deploy our Nanox System broadly across the globe, we will be subject to regulations applicable to medical and radiation-emitting devices
in the jurisdictions in which we operate, which regulations vary among countries. While some countries’ regulations may not impose
barriers to marketing and selling our products or only require certain notification, others may require that we obtain the clearance,
registration or approval of a specified regulatory body. Process for obtaining such clearance, registration or approvals may involve additional
testing and time. Furthermore, complying with foreign regulatory requirements can be expensive and time-consuming, and we will need to
seek for regulatory clearances or approvals in each country in which we plan to market our products.
In addition, depending on
the country, if we modify our products, we may need to apply for additional regulatory clearances or approvals before we are permitted
to sell the modified product. Also, for maintaining our authorizations in a particular country, we will need to continue meeting quality
and safety standards required in such country.
Finally, while regulatory
clearance or approval by the FDA does not ensure registration, clearance or approval by regulatory authorities in other countries, registration
or regulatory clearance or approval in one country, or denial thereof, may have effects on the regulatory process in others.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may
become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject
to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
101
In September 2020, two securities
class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and certain
then-current officers and a director, which were subsequently consolidated and captioned as White v. Nano-X Imaging Ltd. et al.,
Case No. 1:20-cv-04355 (the “White Action”), alleging violations of securities laws on behalf of all persons and entities
that purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s publicly traded securities between August 21, 2020 and September 15, 2020, and
seeking unspecified damages. In addition, on October 5, 2021, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of New York against the Company and certain of its officers, captioned McLaughlin v. Nano-X Imaging Ltd. et al.,
Case No. 1:21-cv-05517 (the “McLaughlin Action”). The amended complaint in that action, filed on April 12, 2022, alleges that
defendants violated the federal securities laws in connection with certain disclosures concerning the cost of the Nanox.ARC system as
well as the comparison of the Nanox.ARC to CT scanners, among other allegations. The Lead Plaintiff in the McLaughlin Action seeked to
represent a class of investors who purchased the Company’s publicly-traded securities between August 21, 2020 and November 17, 2021.
The Company entered into a term sheet on April 28, 2023, to settle all shareholder class action litigation related to the McLaughlin Action
and the consolidated White Action. On June 2, 2023, the Company entered into a formal settlement agreement to settle the McLaughlin Action
and the consolidated White Action for $8 million. On October 31, 2023, Magistrate Judge Kuo preliminarily approved the settlement. Due
to the settlement agreement, during December 2023 the Company deposited $5 million and the D&O insurance carrier deposited $3 million
in a trust account in connection with the settlement agreement. On February 15, 2024, the court held a final approval hearing, during
which she requested that the parties submit updated settlement claims information by letter on or before February 29, 2024 for incorporation
into a final report and recommendation. The parties submitted the letter on February 29, 2024, and on April 17, 2024, Magistrate Judge
Kuo issued a report and recommendation recommending that Judge Kovner grant the motion for final approval of the settlement. On May 7,
2024, Judge Kovner entered an order adopting Magistrate Judge Kuo’s report and recommendation and finally approving the settlement.
On May 10, 2024, the judgment was entered, and the case was dismissed with prejudice. Due to the settlement agreement, during December,
2023 the Company deposited $5 million and the D&O insurance carrier deposited $3 million in a trust account in connection with the
settlement agreement.
The Division of Enforcement
of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) conducted an investigation to
determine whether there had been any violations of the federal securities laws, relating to the development cost of the Company’s
Nanox.ARC prototypes, as well as the Company’s estimate for the cost of assembling the final Nanox.ARC product at scale, among other
things. The Company and Ran Poliakine, former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, have reached final agreements with the
SEC staff to settle this matter, which agreements were approved by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
in October 2023. The Company paid a civil penalty in the amount of $650,000 and was permanently enjoined from violating Section 17(a)(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
Act”) and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1 thereunder. Mr. Poliakine paid disgorgement of $240,000, together with prejudgment interest of
$26,836.39, paid a civil penalty of $150,000, and was permanently enjoined from violating Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act and aiding
and abetting any violation of Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1 thereunder.
On October 28, 2021, a complaint
was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, the Company’s recently-formed
Delaware subsidiary and Nanox Gibraltar PLC (“Gibraltar Entity”) from which the Company received certain assets, as well as
Mr. Ran Poliakine and certain other unidentified parties, alleging several causes of action including breach of a consulting agreement
between the plaintiff and Gibraltar Entity that was entered into in 2015. The plaintiff demanded payment of unpaid consulting fees from
Gibraltar Entity in the amount of approximately $1 million and approximately $29.5 million from the Company relating to his claimed entitlement
to warrants in Gibraltar Entity. On February 15, 2022, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint on the grounds, among others, that it
was not a party to the agreement with the plaintiff, and it is not Gibraltar Entity’s legal successor for any liabilities that Gibraltar
Entity may owe to the plaintiff. On June 4, 2022, the Court granted the motion to dismiss with leave to amend. The plaintiff did not amend
the complaint, and on July 20, 2022, the Court entered judgment in the Company’s favor (the “First Gibraltar Judgment”).
102
On or about December 21, 2023, a claim was filed in Israel against
the Company, the Gibraltar Entity, and the late Mr. Ran Poliakine, based on allegations previously dismissed in the First Gibraltar Judgment.
The Company submitted its statement of defense on September 15, 2024 and so did the estate of the late Mr. Ran Poliakine (the “Estate”).
In its statement of defense, the Company reiterated its strong denial of the plaintiff’s baseless claims and emphasizes that the
Company was never a party to the consulting agreement with the plaintiff. In addition, the Company is not responsible for any potential
liabilities of Gibraltar Entity, which is a separate legal entity. On April 5, 2024, the Gibraltar entity filed an amended claim and a
request for an anti-suit injunction (“ASI”) in Gibraltar against the plaintiff. On November 18, 2024, the Gibraltar court
granted the Gibraltar entity’s request and issued an ASI, preventing the plaintiff from continuing to pursue the present claim against
the Gibraltar entity in Israel. As a result, the dispute between the plaintiff and the Gibraltar entity will be adjudicated before the
Gibraltar court, in accordance with Gibraltar law. In January 2025, the plaintiff filed a new claim against the Company with the Gibraltar
court, which was dismissed due to procedural defects. The plaintiff filed an additional claim against the Company, which was served on
the Company on December 25, 2025. The Company decided not to contest the jurisdiction of the Gibraltar court and consent to the Gibraltar
Jurisdiction, and will therefore submit a statement of defense in Gibraltar court. In light of the above, on February 1, 2026, the plaintiff
filed with the court in Israel a motion seeking to dismiss the claim submitted against the Company in Israel and thereby close the proceedings
in Israel. The Company has submitted its response to the motion, together with a request for an award of costs, on April 26, 2026, in
which it argued that there was no basis to file the claim against it in the first place, as its adjudication is contingent upon a prior
determination of the date of termination of the engagement between the Plaintiff and Gibraltar Entity, before the court in Gibraltar,
and only thereafter, to the extent it is determined that a breach occurred (which is denied), could the claims against the Company, which
are wholly denied, be addressed.
On October 5, 2022, a complaint
was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Washington County, Pennsylvania against several defendants, including Dr. Michael Yuz and USARAD,
alleging medical negligence due to the failure to properly diagnose metastatic breast cancer. Dr Yuz’s only involvement in the case
was on July 18, 2017, prior to our acquisition of USARAD, when he reviewed and interpreted an imaging study, identified a lesion and referred
for an additional imaging. The only claim against USARAD is for vicarious liability based on Dr. Yuz’s involvement, as an employee
of USARAD. As part of the settlement of the case, the plaintiff fully and finally released Dr. Yuz, USARAD and the Company, in exchange
for $20,000 which was paid on behalf of Dr. Yuz and USARAD by the Company’s insurance carrier.
On November 29, 2023, a claim
was asserted in Edgar County, Illinois against several defendants, including USARAD and a USARAD radiologist, alleging medical negligence
relating to the failure to timely diagnose and treat a cervical spinal cord injury following a fall, including allegations that the radiologist
misinterpreted a cervical CT and failed to recommend additional emergent diagnostic imaging. The matter remains in litigation and is proceeding
through depositions.
On February 7, 2025, a claim
was filed in Saint Lawrence County, New York against several defendants, including USARAD and another USARAD radiologist, alleging medical
negligence arising from the alleged misinterpretation of a CT scan and an alleged failure to diagnose a perforation of the sigmoid colon,
which purportedly resulted in sepsis and the need for surgical intervention. The matter is in discovery pursuant to a Preliminary Conference
Order, with depositions to be completed by October 30, 2026.
On February 14, 2025, a claim was filed in the Court of Common Pleas
of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania against several defendants, including a USARAD radiologist, alleging medical negligence based on
the failure to properly interpret a CT scan of the abdomen and the failure to recommend additional diagnostic testing, which allegedly
delayed the diagnosis of colon cancer. The matter is in its early stages with pleadings closed and discovery ongoing.
On January 14, 2026, an amended claim was filed in the Circuit Court
of the 1st Judicial Circuit in and for Okaloosa County, Florida, against several defendants, including USARAD, and a USARAD radiologist,
alleging failure to diagnose an aneurysm and negligent communication to an ordering physician. The matter is in its early stages.
103
On December 11, 2025, we
received a letter from a shareholder detailing certain purported concerns and allegations relating to representations made during negotiations
regarding a certain asset transaction. On April 19, 2026, we entered into a settlement agreement with said shareholder, pursuant to which
the alleging shareholder, on its own behalf and on behalf of its shareholders, fully released us from any and all claims, including those
mentioned in the shareholder’s letter, claims relating to the asset transaction, and claims relating to our relationship with the
shareholder and its affiliates and shareholders. In return for the release, and without admission of any liability, we issued the shareholder
450,000 ordinary shares.
