Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

As previously disclosed, Sonendo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Biolase, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Biolase”), BL Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BL Acquisition”), BL Acquisition II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BL Acquisition II”), and Model Dental Office, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MDO” and together with Biolase, BL Acquisition and BL Acquisition II, each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company was designated as the “stalking horse” bidder in connection with a sale of certain assets of Biolase under Section 363 of Title 11 of the United States Code.

The Sellers conducted a bankruptcy auction on November 4, 2024. Based on the result of that auction, Sonendo was not the winning bidder. Accordingly, Sonendo does not expect to proceed with the transaction described in the Asset Purchase Agreement except in the unlikely event the winning bidder fails to close. Subject to final Bankruptcy Court approval, the Asset Purchase Agreement will be terminated upon the sale of the Biolase assets to the prevailing bidder, and the Sellers will be required to pay the Company a break-up fee equal to 3% of the Purchase Price plus a capped expense reimbursement of up to $575,000.
