On May 16, 2024, (the “Termination Date”), Cue Health Inc. (the “Company”) terminated its Loan and Security Agreement, dated June 30, 2022 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Comerica Bank, as documentation agent, and East West Bank, as collateral agent and administrative agent. The Loan Agreement provided the Company with a $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility, with a $20.0 million letter of credit subfacility. As of the Termination Date, the Company had no loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement. In connection with the termination of the Loan Agreement, the Company cash collateralized $504,440.40 of letters of credit that were issued under the Loan Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 1, 2022.

On May 28, 2024, after considering all strategic alternatives, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief (the “Petition”) under the provisions of Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

The proceeding under the Petition is styled as “In Re: Cue Health Inc.” As a result of filing the Petition, a Chapter 7 trustee will be appointed by the Bankruptcy Court to administer the bankruptcy estate of the Company and to perform the duties set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. The assets of the Company will be liquidated and all claims paid in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

A copy of the related press release announcing the Petition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

As previously disclosed in a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing (the “12b-25”) filed by the Company on May 16, 2024, the Company is delinquent in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the SEC.

On May 23, 2024, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the Company is delinquent in filing its Form 10-Q, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), which requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC. As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 9, 2023, the Company previously received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that, as a result of the Company not satisfying the requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a) (“Rule 5450(a)”) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, the Company was not in compliance with Rule 5450(a). On November 17, 2023, the Company transitioned to the Nasdaq Capital Market, but as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K has not satisfied the requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share.

In accordance with the Notice, the Company has until July 22, 2024 to submit a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) to the Nasdaq staff addressing how it intends to regain compliance with the Rule, and until November 18, 2024, which is 180 calendar days from the original due date of the Form 10-Q, to regain compliance. The Notice will have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock. However, the Company does not intend to submit a Plan, and therefore, it is expected that the Company’s common stock will be delisted upon further notice from Nasdaq.

Departures of Certain Officers

As of May 24, 2024, the Company terminated all of its employees and executive officers, including Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder Clint Sever, Chief Business Officer Chris Achar and Chief Accounting Officer Randall Pollard. The Company notified all employees and executive officers of the upcoming terminations on May 20, 2024.

Departures of Directors

On May 24, 2024, each of the members of the Company’s board of directors, Chris Achar, Joanne Bradford, Carole Faig, Josh Ghaim, Sachin Jain and Maria Martinez (together, the “Remaining Directors”), provided notice of his or her resignation from the Board and all committees thereof, effective upon the Company’s submission of the Petition. The resignations of the Remaining Directors are not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

As previously disclosed in the 12b-25 filed by the Company on May 16, 2024, the Company is delinquent in filing its Form 10-Q with the SEC. In the absence of providing full financial information in a Form 10-Q, the Company is providing limited financial information regarding its performance for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The tables below set forth certain unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
