4. Business Combination

As discussed in Note 1, Organization and Basis of Presentation, on August 1, 2023 the Company consummated the Business Combination with Compute Health pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Compute Health, which was the legal acquirer, was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Allurion issuing stock for the net assets of Compute Health, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, (a) holders of Legacy Allurion common stock received shares of Allurion Common Stock in an amount determined by application of the Exchange Ratio of approximately 0.9780 (the Exchange Ratio established in the Business Combination is prior to the Reverse Stock Split and did not change as a result of the Reverse Stock Split), (b) each then-outstanding share of Legacy Allurion preferred stock was converted into the right to receive shares of Allurion Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Allurion Common Stock that would be issued upon conversion of such outstanding share of Legacy Allurion preferred stock based on the applicable conversion ratio multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, (c) each then-outstanding and unexercised Legacy Allurion option was converted into a new Allurion option on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Legacy Allurion option based on the Exchange Ratio ("Rollover Option"), (d) each then-outstanding Legacy Allurion warrant was converted into a new Allurion warrant based on the Exchange Ratio ("Rollover Warrant"), (e) each then-outstanding Legacy Allurion restricted stock unit was converted into a rollover restricted stock unit based on the Exchange Ratio, and (f) certain amounts of loans made by Compute Health Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor") to CPUH, which balance was $3.7 million at the time of the Business Combination (the "Sponsor Loan Excess"), was converted into 21,023 shares of Allurion Common Stock (the "Sponsor Loan Equity Issuance"). For periods prior to the Business Combination, the reported share and per share amounts have been retroactively converted by applying the Exchange Ratio. The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy Allurion.

Further, upon the closing of the Business Combination and after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, each then-outstanding share of Compute Health Class A common stock was canceled and extinguished and was converted into the right to receive 0.056818 shares of Allurion Common Stock. Additionally, the Company assumed 13,206,922 outstanding public warrants to purchase an aggregate 750,394 shares of Allurion Common Stock at $202.50 per share.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company incurred approximately $22.7 million of transaction costs, consisting of legal and other professional fees, of which $15.2 million was recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of proceeds, $2.5 million was recorded as debt issuance costs in connection with the Fortress Term Loan (as defined below), and $5.0 million was recorded as an expense in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Of the $5.0 million recorded as general and administrative expenses, $3.6 million relates to a one-time insurance payment related to any potential matters that might arise from the period prior to the Business Combination, and as such is not capitalized as an asset. An additional $1.2 million relates to direct costs and fees incurred as part of the Revenue Interest Financing with RTW.
