    Dave Rosa, CEO of NeuroOne, commented, “We are very pleased with our results this quarter, highlighted by reaching a milestone achievement with FDA clearance of our OneRF Ablation System. This represents the Company’s third product family to be cleared by the FDA and the Company’s first combination device that has an indication for both recording electrical activity and ablation of nervous tissue. We are very excited to be the first to market this novel technology in the United States and are preparing to initiate a limited commercial launch of the OneRF Ablation System in the second quarter of calendar year 2024. We believe the OneRF Ablation System, with combination diagnostic and therapeutic functionality, has the capability to create a paradigm shift in neurosurgical procedures. We are also pleased with the continued expansion of Zimmer Biomet’s launch of the Evo SEEG electrode and the related increase in revenue over past quarters. We expect this trend to continue with the expansion of additional centers. We believe the launch of the OneRF Ablation System will also have a positive impact on Evo sEEG customer demand. Coupled with the progress on our drug delivery and spinal cord stimulation programs, we remain confident in our strategic plan.”

    • Continue to explore additional applications and strategic partnership opportunities for ablation in neurology and other attractive markets that could benefit from NeuroOne’s high-resolution, thin-film electrode technology

    Drug Delivery Program:

    • Refine prototype design and testing including preclinical in-vivo study

    • Continue to identify potential strategic partners to utilize NeuroOne’s drug delivery device in clinical studies and research
