Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on July 19, 2024, Augmedix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Commure, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Anderson Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). On August 19, 2024, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a preliminary proxy statement (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”), and on August 29, 2024, the Company filed with the SEC a definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), in each case with respect to the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Merger scheduled to be held on September 27, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time at the Company’s offices at 111 Sutter Street, Suite 1300, San Francisco, California 94104 (the “Special Meeting”).
Certain Litigation
In connection with the Merger, the Company has, as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, received demand letters, a demand to inspect the Company’s books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220, and two complaints sent on behalf of purported stockholders of the Company challenging, among other things, the adequacy of certain disclosures made in the Preliminary Proxy Statement and the Definitive Proxy Statement (collectively, the “Stockholder Actions”). The two complaints, which named the Company and members of the Company’s board of directors as defendants, were both filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York and are captioned Catherine Coffman v. Augmedix, Inc., et al., Index No. 654743/2024 and Michael Kent v. Augmedix, Inc., et al., Index No. 654762/2024, respectively. The Company believes that the allegations in the Stockholder Actions are without merit and that the Preliminary Proxy Statement and the Definitive Proxy Statement do not omit any material information about the Merger.
The Company denies that it has violated any laws or breached any duties to the Company’s stockholders, denies all allegations in the Stockholder Actions, and believes no supplemental disclosure to the Definitive Proxy Statement was or is required under any applicable law, rule or regulation. However, solely to eliminate the burden and expense of potential litigation, to avoid potential delay or disruption to the Merger, and to provide additional information to the Company’s stockholders, the Company has determined to voluntarily supplement the Definitive Proxy Statement with the below disclosures. The Company believes that the disclosures set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement comply fully with applicable law and nothing in the below supplemental disclosure will be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable law of any of the disclosures set forth herein.
To the extent that information in the below supplemental disclosures differs from, or updates information contained in, the Definitive Proxy Statement, the information in the below supplemental disclosures will supersede or supplement the information in the Definitive Proxy Statement. Except as otherwise described in the below supplemental disclosures or the documents referred to, contained in or incorporated by reference herein, the Definitive Proxy Statement, the annexes to the Definitive Proxy Statement and the documents referred to, contained in or incorporated by reference in the Definitive Proxy Statement are not otherwise modified, supplemented or amended. The supplemental disclosures will not affect the timing of the Special Meeting.
