This proxy statement and our fiscal year 2019 Annual Report to Stockholders are also available for viewing, printing and downloading at the “Investors – SEC Filings” section of our website, www.organogenesis.com, and at www.proxyvote.com.

Who May Vote

Holders of record of our Class A common stock at the close of business on November 10, 2020 are entitled to one vote per share of Class A common stock on each proposal properly brought before the annual meeting.

A list of our registered holders as of the close of business on the record date will be made available to stockholders during the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2020.

Registered stockholders may also vote by telephone or on the internet prior to the meeting by following the instructions included with your proxy card mailed to you on or about November 20, 2020. In addition, if you received a printed proxy card, you may mark, sign, date and mail the proxy card you received in the postage-paid return envelope. If you vote in accordance with any of the available methods, your shares will be voted at the meeting pursuant to your instructions. If you sign and return the proxy card or vote by telephone or on the internet but do not provide voting instructions on some or all of the proposals, your shares will be voted by the persons named in the proxy card on all uninstructed proposals in accordance with the recommendations of the board of directors given below.

Shares involves risks. You should carefully considerHeld by Brokers or Nominees

If your shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, that person, as the information providedrecord holder of your shares, is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. Your bank, broker or other nominee will send you directions on how to vote those shares, which may include the ability to instruct the voting of your shares by telephone or on the internet prior to the meeting.

If your shares are registered in your name or, in certain instances, if your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote online while virtually attending the meeting, you will need to access the live audio webcast of the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2020 and follow the instructions for stockholder voting.

Under stock exchange rules applicable to most brokerage firms, if you do not give instructions to your broker, it is permitted to vote any shares it holds for your account in its discretion with respect to “routine” proposals, but it is not allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain non-routine proposals. Proposal 1, regarding the election of directors, is a “non-routine” proposal. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to such proposal, your broker will not vote on such proposal and your shares will be recorded as “broker non-votes” and will not affect the outcome of the vote on such proposal. “Broker non-votes” are shares that are held in “street name” by a bank or brokerage firm that indicates on its proxy that, while voting in its discretion on one matter, it does not have or did not exercise discretionary authority to vote on another matter.

Proposal 2, the ratification of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, is considered to be a routine item under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements; Risk Factors”applicable rules and your broker will be able to vote on that item even if it does not receive instructions from you, so long as it holds your shares in its name.

If a broker or nominee holds shares of our Class A common stock in “street name” for your account, then this proxy statement may have been forwarded to you with a voting instruction card, which allows you to instruct the broker or nominee how to vote your shares on the proposals described herein. To vote by proxy or to instruct your broker how to vote, you should follow the directions provided with the voting instruction card. In order to have your vote counted on Proposal 1, you must either provide timely voting instructions to your broker or obtain a properly executed proxy from the broker or other record holder of the shares that authorizes you to act on behalf of the record holder with respect to the shares held for your account.

Quorum Required to Transact Business

At the close of business on November 10, 2020, a total of 107,785,994 shares of our Class A common stock were outstanding. Our bylaws require that a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock be represented, in person or by proxy, at the meeting in order to constitute the quorum we need to transact business at the meeting. We will count abstentions and broker non-votes as shares represented at the meeting in determining whether a quorum exists.

Multiple Stockholders Sharing the Same Address

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be “householding” our proxy statements, annual reports and related materials. “Householding” means that only one copy of these documents may have been sent to multiple stockholders in one household. If you would like to receive your own set of proxy statements, annual reports and related materials, or if you share an address with another stockholder and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of these documents, please contact your bank, broker or other nominee, or Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. by sending such request by mail to Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717 or by calling 1-866-540-7095.

If your shares are held in “street name,” you must contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions on changing your vote.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy is required for the election of directors (Proposal 1). Broker non-votes and proxies marked to withhold authority with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director indicated.

Name  

The Shares to be exchanged for the Public Warrants have not been registered with the SEC. As described elsewhere in this Offer Letter, the issuance of the Shares upon exchange of the Public Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof. The Shares that you receive in the Offer will be freely-tradable, except by persons who are considered to be our affiliates, as that term is defined in the Securities Act.

The Consent SolicitationIn order to tender the Public Warrants in the Offer and Consent Solicitation, holders are required to consent (by executing the letter of transmittal and consent or requesting that their broker or nominee consent on their behalf) to an amendment to the Warrant Agreement governing the Public Warrants as set forth in the Warrant Amendment attached asAnnex A. If approved, the Warrant Amendment would permit the Company to require that each Public Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.0855 Shares, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer, thus eliminating all of the Public Warrants.We are not seeking consents, and will not accept letters of transmittal to participate in the Offer and consent to the Warrant Amendment, until we have filed a definitive proxy statement with respect to the Consent Solicitation. If the Warrant Amendment is approved, we will not enter into the Warrant Amendment until at least 20 business days after the definitive proxy statement is sent to holders of Warrants.

Risks of Participating In the Offer

Participation in the Offer involves a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the risks identified in Section 13 below. Holders should carefully consider these risks and are urged to speak with their personal financial, investment and/or tax advisors as necessary before deciding whether to participate in the Offer.

1.

GENERAL TERMS

The Offer is to permit holders of Public Warrants issued pursuant to the IPO Prospectus to tender any and all outstanding Public Warrants at an exchange ratio of 0.095 Shares for each Public Warrant tendered (approximately one Share for every 11 Public Warrants tendered). A holder may tender as few or as many Public Warrants as the holder elects. No fractional Shares will be issued. Public Warrants may only be exchanged for whole Shares. In lieu of issuing fractional Shares to which any holder of Public Warrants would otherwise have been entitled, the Company will round the number of Shares to which such holder is entitled, after aggregating all fractions, up to the next whole number of Shares. Holders may also exercise their Public Warrants during the Offer Period in accordance with the terms of the Public Warrant.

You may tender some or all of your Public Warrants on these terms.The Offer relates to the Public Warrants issued pursuant to the IPO Prospectus, which trade through DTC. The Offer does not relate to the Private Placement Warrants, none of which are outstanding. Any and all outstanding Public Warrants are eligible to be tendered pursuant to the Offer. As of July 17, 2019, there were 30,890,748 Public Warrants outstanding.

If you elect to tender Public Warrants in response to the Offer, please follow the instructions in this Offer Letter and the related documents, including the Letter of Transmittal.

If you tender Public Warrants, you may withdraw your tendered Public Warrants before the Expiration Date and retain them on their terms by following the instructions herein.

The Shares to be exchanged for the Public Warrants have not been registered with the SEC. As described elsewhere in this Offer Letter, the issuance of the Shares upon exchange of the Public Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof. Under current interpretations of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC, securities that are obtained in a Section 3(a)(9) exchange generally assume the same character (i.e., restricted or unrestricted) as the securities that have been surrendered. We are also relying on Section 18(b)(4)(E) of the Securities Act to exempt the Shares from the registration and qualification requirements of state securities laws.The Shares that you receive in the Offer will be freely-tradable, except by persons who are considered to be our affiliates, as that term is defined in the Securities Act.

As part of the Offer, we are also soliciting from the holders of the Public Warrants their consent to the amendment of the Warrant Agreement. If approved, the Warrant Amendment would permit the Company to require that each Public Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.0855 Shares, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer, thus eliminating all of the Public Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Amendment is attached hereto asAnnex A. We urge that you carefully read the Warrant Amendment in its entirety. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the consent of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants is required to approve the Warrant Amendment.

Holders who tender Public Warrants in the Offer will automatically be deemed, without any further action, to have given their consent to approval of the Warrant Amendment (effective upon our acceptance of the Public Warrants tendered). The consent to the Warrant Amendment is a part of the letter of transmittal relating to the Public Warrants.

You cannot tender any Public Warrants in the Offer without giving your consent to the Warrant Amendment. Thus, before deciding whether to tender any Public Warrants, you should be aware that a tender of Public Warrants may result in the approval of the Warrant Amendment.

We are not seeking consents, and will not accept letters of transmittal to participate in the Offer and consent to the Warrant Amendment, until we have filed a definitive proxy statement with respect to the Consent Solicitation.If the Warrant Amendment is approved, we will not enter into the Warrant Amendment until at least 20 business days after the definitive proxy statement is sent to holders of Public Warrants.

A. Period of Offer

We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, at any time or from time to time, prior to the Expiration Date, to extend the period of time during which the Offer and Consent Solicitation is open. There can be no assurance, however, that we will exercise our right to extend the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

B. Partial Tender Permitted

If you choose to participate in the Offer, you may tender less than all of your Public Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Offer.

PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING PUBLIC WARRANTS

A. Proper Tender of Public Warrants

To validly tender Public Warrants pursuant to the Offer, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or photocopy thereof, together with any required signature guarantees, must be received by the Depositary at its address set forth on the last page of this document prior to the Expiration Date. The method of delivery of all required documents is at the option and risk of the tendering Public Warrant holders. If delivery is by mail, the Company recommends registered mail with return receipt requested (properly insured). In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure timely delivery.

In the Letter of Transmittal, the tendering Public Warrant holder must: (i) set forth his, her or its name and address; (ii) set forth the number of Public Warrants tendered; and (iii) set forth the number of the Public Warrant certificate(s) representing such Public Warrants.

Where Public Warrants are tendered by a registered holder of the Public Warrants who has completed either the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” on the Letter of Transmittal, all signatures on the Letters of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an “Eligible Institution.”

An “Eligible Institution” is a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity that is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is an “eligible guarantor institution,” as that term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

If the Public Warrants are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the Letter of Transmittal, the Public Warrants must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of assignment, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered owner(s) appear on the Public Warrants, with the signature(s) on the Public Warrants or instruments of assignment guaranteed.

A tender of Public Warrants pursuant to the procedures described below in this Section 2 will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering holder and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

ALL DELIVERIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFER, INCLUDING A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND PUBLIC WARRANTS, MUST BE MADE TO THE DEPOSITARY OR THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY.

NO DELIVERIES SHOULD BE MADE TO THE COMPANY, AND ANY DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE FORWARDED TO THE DEPOSITARY OR THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY AND THEREFORE WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE PROPERLY TENDERED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

BOOK-ENTRY DELIVERY. The Depositary will establish an account for the Public Warrants at DTC for purposes of the Offer, within two business days after the date of this Offer Letter. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may make book-entry delivery of Public Warrants by causing DTC to transfer such Public Warrants into the Depositary’s account in accordance with DTC’s procedure for such transfer. Even though delivery of Public Warrants may be effected through book-entry transfer into the Depositary’s account at DTC, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or copy thereof), with any required signature guarantee, or an Agent’s Message (as defined below), and any other required documentation, must in any case be transmitted to and received by the Depositary at its address set forth on the last page of this Offer Letter prior to the Expiration Date, or the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth herein must be followed. Delivery of the Letter of Transmittal (or other required documentation) to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Depositary. The term “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Depositary and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC exchanging the Public Warrants that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that the Company may enforce such agreement against the participant. The term “Book-Entry Confirmation” means a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of Public Warrants into the Depositary’s account at DTC.

PUBLIC WARRANTS HELD IN STREET NAME. If Public Warrants are held through a direct or indirect DTC participant, such as a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary, you must instruct that holder to tender your Public Warrants on your behalf. A letter of instructions is included in these

materials, and as an exhibit to the Schedule TO. The letter may be used by you to instruct a custodian to tender and deliver Public Warrants on your behalf.

Unless the Public Warrants being tendered are delivered to the Depositary by 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on August 16, 2019 (the Expiration Date) accompanied by a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or a properly transmitted Agent’s Message, the Company may, at its option, treat such tender as invalid. Issuance of Shares upon tender of Public Warrants will be made only against the valid tender of Public Warrants.

GUARANTEED DELIVERY. If you want to tender your Public Warrants pursuant to the Offer, but (i) your Public Warrants are not immediately available, (ii) the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, or (iii) time will not permit all required documents to reach the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date, you can still tender your Public Warrants, if all of the following conditions are met:

(a) the tender is made by or through an Eligible Institution;

(b) the Depositary receives by hand, mail, overnight courier or fax, prior to the Expiration Date, a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in the form the Company has provided with this Offer Letter (with signatures guaranteed by an Eligible Institution); and

(c) the Depositary receives, within two Nasdaq trading days after the date of its receipt of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery:

(1) the certificates for all tendered Public Warrants, or confirmation of receipt of the Public Warrants pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer as described above; and

(2) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or copy thereof), or any Agent’s Message in the case of a book-entry transfer, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.

In any event, the issuance of Shares for Public Warrants tendered pursuant to the Offer and accepted pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of Public Warrants, properly completed and duly executed Letter(s) of Transmittal and any other required documents.

B. Conditions of the Offer

The conditions of the Offer are:

i. there shall not have been instituted, threatened in writing or be pending any action or proceeding before or by any court or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or instrumentality, or by any other person, in connection with the Offer, that is, or is reasonably likely to be, in our reasonable judgment, materially adverse to our business, operations, properties, condition, assets, liabilities or prospects, or which would or might, in our reasonable judgment, prohibit, prevent, restrict or delay consummation of the Offer or materially impair the contemplated benefits to us of the Offer;

ii. no order, statute, rule, regulation, executive order, stay, decree, judgment or injunction shall have been proposed, enacted, entered, issued, promulgated, enforced or deemed applicable by any court or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or instrumentality that, in our reasonable judgment, would or would be reasonably likely to prohibit, prevent, restrict or delay consummation of the Offer or materially impair the contemplated benefits to us of the Offer, or that is, or is reasonably likely to be, materially adverse to our business, operations, properties, condition, assets, liabilities or prospects;

iii. in our reasonable judgment, there shall not have occurred or be reasonably likely to occur, any material adverse change to our business, operations, properties, condition, assets, liabilities, prospects or financial affairs; and

iv. there shall not have occurred:

b. any material adverse change in the price of the Shares in U.S. securities or financial markets;

c. a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect to banks in the United States;

d. any limitation (whether or not mandatory) by any government or governmental, regulatory or administrative authority, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or other event that, in our reasonable judgment, would or would be reasonably likely to affect the extension of credit by banks or other lending institutions; or

e. a commencement or significant worsening of a war or armed hostilities or other national or international calamity, including but not limited to, catastrophic terrorist attacks against the United States or its citizens.

v. at least 65% of the Public Warrants (which is the minimum number required to amend the Warrant Agreement) are tendered in the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

The foregoing conditions are solely for our benefit, and we may assert one or more of the conditions regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such conditions. We may also, in our sole and absolute discretion, waive these conditions in whole or in part, subject to the potential requirement to disseminate additional information and extend the Offer, as described under “The Offer, Section 11. Conditions; Termination; Waivers; Extensions; Amendments.” The determination by us as to whether any condition has been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding on all parties. The failure by us at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed a continuing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Date.

We may terminate the Offer if any of the conditions of the Offer are not satisfied prior to the Expiration Date. See “The Offer, Section 11. Conditions; Termination; Waivers; Extensions; Amendments.”

C. Determination of Validity

All questions as to the form of documents and the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any tenders of Public Warrants will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, and its determination will be final and binding, subject to the judgment of any court that might provide otherwise. The Company reserves the absolute right, subject to the judgment of any court that might provide otherwise, to reject any or all tenders of Public Warrants that it determines are not in proper form or reject tenders of Public Warrants that may, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the absolute right, subject to the judgment of any court that might provide otherwise, to waive any defect or irregularity in any tender of Public Warrants. Neither the Company nor any other person will be under any duty to give notice of any defect or irregularity in tenders, nor will any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

D. Tender Constitutes an Agreement

A tender of Public Warrants made pursuant to any method of delivery set forth herein will also constitute an acknowledgement by the tendering Public Warrant holder that: (i) the Offer is discretionary and may be extended, modified, suspended or terminated by us as provided herein; (ii) such Public Warrant holder is voluntarily participating in the Offer; (iii) the future value of our Public Warrants is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (iv) such Public Warrant holder has read this Offer Letter; (v) such Public Warrant holder has consulted his, her or its tax and financial advisors with regard to how the Offer will impact the tendering Public Warrant holder’s specific situation; (vi) any foreign exchange obligations triggered by such

Public Warrant holder’s tender of Public Warrants or receipt of Shares are solely his, her or its responsibility; and (vii) regardless of any action that we take with respect to any or all income/capital gains tax, social security or insurance tax, transfer tax or other tax-related items (“Tax Items”) related to the Offer and the disposition of Public Warrants, such Public Warrant holder acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Items is and remains his, her or its sole responsibility. In that regard, a tender of Public Warrants authorizes us to withhold all applicable Tax Items potentially payable by a tendering Public Warrant holder. Our acceptance for payment of Public Warrants tendered pursuant to the Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering Public Warrant holder and us upon the terms and subject to certain conditions of the Offer.

E. Signature Guarantees

Except as otherwise provided below, all signatures on a Letter of Transmittal by a person residing in or tendering Public Warrants in the United States must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. Signatures on a Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed if (i) the Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder of the Public Warrant(s) tendered therewith and such holder has not completed the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” or “Special Issuance Instructions” in the Letter of Transmittal; or (ii) such Public Warrant(s) are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. See Instructions 1 and 5 of the Letter of Transmittal.

3.

WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS

Tenders of Public Warrants made pursuant to the Offer may be rescinded at any time prior to the Expiration Date. Thereafter, such tenders are irrevocable. If the Company extends the period of time during which the Offer is open for any reason, then, without prejudice to the Company’s rights under the Offer and in a manner compliant with Rule 14e-1(c) of the Exchange Act, the Company may retain all Public Warrants tendered and tenders of such Public Warrants may not be rescinded, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, tendered Public Warrants may also be withdrawn if the Company has not accepted the Public Warrants for exchange by the 40th business day after the initial commencement of the Offer.

To be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at its address identified in this Offer Letter. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the holder who tendered the Public Warrants for which tenders are to be withdrawn and the number of Public Warrants to be withdrawn. If the Public Warrants to be withdrawn have been delivered to the Depositary, a signed notice of withdrawal must be submitted to the Depositary prior to release of such Public Warrants. In addition, such notice must specify the name of the registered holder (if different from that of the tendering Public Warrant holder). Withdrawal may not be cancelled, and Public Warrants for which tenders are withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Offer. However, Public Warrants for which tenders are withdrawn may be tendered again by following one of the procedures described in Section 2 at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

A holder of Public Warrants desiring to withdraw tendered Public Warrants previously delivered through DTC should contact the DTC participant through which such holder holds his, her or its Public Warrants. In order to withdraw previously tendered Public Warrants, a DTC participant may, prior to the Expiration Date, withdraw its instruction previously transmitted through DTC’s ATOP procedures by (i) withdrawing its acceptance, or (ii) delivering to the Depositary by mail, hand delivery or fax, a notice of withdrawal of such instruction. The notices of withdrawal must contain the name and number of the DTC participant. A withdrawal of an instruction must be executed by a DTC participant as such DTC participant’s name appears on its transmission to which such withdrawal relates. A DTC participant may withdraw a tendered Public Warrant only if such withdrawal complies with the provisions described in this paragraph.

A holder who tendered his, her or its Public Warrants other than through DTC should send written notice of withdrawal to the Depositary specifying the name of the Public Warrant holder who tendered the Public Warrants being withdrawn. All signatures on a notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by a Medallion Signature

Guarantor; provided, however, that signatures on the notice of withdrawal need not be guaranteed if the Public Warrants being withdrawn are held for the account of an Eligible Institution. Withdrawal of a prior Public Warrant tender will be effective upon receipt of the notice of withdrawal by the Depositary. Selection of the method of notification is at the risk of the Public Warrant holder, and notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary.

All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding, subject to the judgment of any court that might provide otherwise. Neither the Company nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification, subject to the judgment of any court that might provide otherwise.

B. Establishment of Offer Terms; Approval of the Offer

Our board of directors approved this Offer and Consent Solicitation and the exchange ratio and other terms of this Offer and Consent Solicitation. The board of directors set the exchange ratio in order to provide the holders of the Public Warrants with an incentive to exchange the Public Warrants, without resulting in the issuance of a number of Shares that the board considered to be overly dilutive. The board believed that the exchange ratio provides holders of the Public Warrants with an incentive to exchange the Public Warrants for Shares because, based on recent trading prices of the Shares and Public Warrants, the market value of one Share is greater than that of 12 Public Warrants, and holders who exchange Public Warrants, which are currently out of the money, will receive a more liquid security.

C. Purpose of the Offer

The Offer and Consent Solicitation is being made to all holders of Public Warrants. The purpose of the Offer is to reduce the number of Shares that would become outstanding upon the exercise of Public Warrants. The Company’s board of directors believes that by allowing holders of Public Warrants to exchange one Public Warrant for 0.095 Shares, the Company can potentially reduce, or eliminate, the substantial number of Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, thus providing investors and potential investors with greater certainty as to the Company’s capital structure. For example, if all of the outstanding Public Warrants were validly tendered in the Offer, the Company would issue approximately 2,934,622 Shares in exchange for such tendered Public Warrants. However, if all of the outstanding Public Warrants were exercised for Shares pursuant to the terms of the Public Warrants, the Company would issue 15,445,374 Shares in such exercise. The Public Warrants acquired pursuant to the exchange will be retired and cancelled. The Offer is not made pursuant to a plan to periodically increase any securityholder’s proportionate interest in the assets or earnings and profits of the Company.

Controlling EntitiesBoard Role in Risk Oversight”).

One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction for our company and the day to day leadership and performance of the company, while our Chair, Alan A. Ades, who is not an executive officer, sets the agenda for board meetings and presides over meetings of the board. Our independent directors meet in executive session on a regular basis, without management present.

Our board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and our audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Controlling Stockholders Agreement,audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our compensation committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

Compensation Committee

The Company has a standing compensation committee consisting of Mr. Mackie, its chairperson, Mr. Alan Ades and Mr. Leibowitz. The Company’s compensation committee was formed on May 7, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and until November 3, 2020, the compensation committee consisted of Mr. Mackie, its chairperson, Mr. Alan Ades and Mr. Albert Erani. The compensation committee is responsible for recommending to the board of directors the compensation philosophy and policies of the Company in general and for its executive officers in particular. The objectives of the Company’s senior management compensation program are to align compensation with business objectives, individual performance, and the interests of the Company’s stockholders; motivate and reward high levels of performance; recognize and reward the achievement of Company goals; and enable the Company to attract, retain, and reward the highest quality executive talent. Among other things, the compensation committee: (i) reviews and recommends for approval by the board of directors, executive officer compensation, including salary, bonus, and short term and long term incentive compensation levels (including equity compensation) and the corporate goals and objectives relevant to executive officer compensation; (ii) oversees the evaluation of the chief executive officer and other executive officers of the Company; (iii) retains a recognized independent compensation consultant (that meets certain independence factors) to assess the competitiveness of the Company’s compensation levels and practice applicable to the executive officers and directors of the Company; (iv) reviews and makes recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the Company’s employee benefit plans, including all incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans; (v) reviews and makes recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the compensation of non-employee directors, committee chairpersons, and committee members, consistent with any applicable requirements of the Nasdaq rules; (vi) reviews any stockholder proposals related to compensation matters and makes recommendations to the board of directors regarding those proposals; (vii) prepares and approves for inclusion in the Company’s annual proxy statement and annual report on Form 10-K the report on executive compensation, if required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; (viii) to the extent that the Company is required to include a compensation discussion and analysis (CD&A) section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or annual proxy statement, reviews and discusses with the Company’s management the CD&A, and based on such review and discussion, determines whether to

recommend to the board of directors that the CD&A be so included; and (ix) reviews and discusses with management the Company’s plans and practices to provide that our compensation programs, plans or practices do not encourage employees to take unnecessary risk that could threaten the Company.

The compensation committee operates under a written charter adopted by the board of directors, which is available in the Investor Relations (Investors > Corporate Governance > Documents & Charters) section of our website, which is located at  www.organogenesis.com. The compensation committee met in person or by telephone three times during fiscal year 2019.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

As a controlled company, we are not required to have a compensation committee of independent directors. During 2019 and until November 3, 2020, our compensation committee consisted of Mr. Mackie, its chairperson, Mr. Alan Ades and Mr. Albert Erani. As disclosed herein, decisions about the compensation of our executive officers are made by our board of directors based upon the recommendation of our compensation committee. None of our executive officers serves, or in the past has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who serve as members of our compensation committee or board of directors. None of the members of our board of directors is an officer or employee of our company nor has any of them ever been an officer or employee of our company, in each case, other than Mr. Gillheeney.

Code of Ethics and Conduct; Corporate Governance Guidelines

We have adopted a written code of ethics and conduct that applies to our directors, executive officers and employees, as well as corporate governance guidelines. Copies of the code of ethics and conduct and our corporate governance guidelines are posted on the Investor Relations (Investors > Corporate Governance > Documents & Charters) section of our website, which is located at www.organogenesis.com. If we make any substantive amendments to the code of ethics and conduct or grant any waivers from the code of ethics and conduct for any executive officer or director, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website or in a Form 8-K.

Policy Regarding Hedging

We have adopted a policy that prohibits our officers, directors or employees from entering into any short sale of our securities, buying or selling publicly traded options on our common stock or hedging their positions in our securities, including through the use of instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars or exchange funds.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These directors, executive officers and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms received by us, and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year 2019 our directors, executive officers and ten-percent stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that due to an administrative error a Form 4 with respect to the exercise of a stock option by Mr. Grow was not timely filed. In January 2020, due to an administrative error, a Form 4 with respect to the exercise of a stock option by Mr. Montecalvo was not timely filed.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors met in person or by telephone fourteen times during fiscal year 2019. Other than Mr. Nussdorf and Mr. Maurice Ades, no director attended fewer than 75 percent of the aggregate number of fourmeetings of the board of directors and of any committee of the Board on which he or she served, in each case held during the period in which he served as a director, in fiscal year 2019.

Policy Regarding Board Attendance

Our directors are expected to attend meetings of the board of directors and meetings of committees on which they serve. Our directors are expected to spend the time needed at each meeting and to meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities. We encourage members of our board of directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders, but we do not have a formal policy requiring them to do so.

Director Nominations

Because we are a controlled company and are not required under the Nasdaq listing rules to maintain a nominating committee comprised entirely of independent directors, the board of directors oversees our director nomination process. Each year, the board of directors proposes a slate of director nominees to stockholders for election at the annual meeting of stockholders. In identifying and evaluating candidates for membership on the board of directors, the board of directors may take into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include experience, qualifications, attributes, skills, diversity and other characteristics in the context of the current make-up of the board of directors and the needs of the board of directors given the circumstances of the Company. Stockholders may also recommend candidates for election to the board of directors, as described below. We do not have a formal diversity policy for directors. The board of directors identifies director candidates based on input provided by a number of sources, including from members of the board of directors, stockholders and members of management.

The board of directors values the input of stockholders in identifying director candidates. Accordingly, the board of directors considers recommendations for director candidates submitted by stockholders using substantially the same criteria it applies to recommendations from directors and members of management. Any such nominations should be submitted to the board of directors by mail in care of the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 85 Dan Road, Canton, Massachusetts 02021 and be accompanied by the information required by the bylaws. The written recommendation should be submitted within the time frame described in the bylaws.

Communications with our Board of Directors

Stockholders wishing to communicate with our board of directors should send correspondence to the attention of our Corporate Secretary at our offices located at 85 Dan Road, Canton, Massachusetts 02021, and should include with the correspondence evidence that the sender of the communication is one of our stockholders. Satisfactory evidence would include, for example, contemporaneous correspondence from a brokerage firm indicating the identity of the stockholder, the number of shares held and the address, telephone number and e-mail address, if any, of the stockholder. Our Corporate Secretary will review all correspondence confirmed to be from stockholders and decide whether or not to forward the correspondence or a summary of the correspondence to the full board of directors or a committee thereof. Our Corporate Secretary will review all stockholder correspondence, but the decision to relay that correspondence to the full board or a committee will rest entirely within his discretion. Our board believes that this process will suffice to handle the relatively low volume of communications we have historically received from our stockholders. If the volume of communications increases such that this process becomes burdensome to our Corporate Secretary, our board of directors may elect to adopt more elaborate screening procedures.

Director Compensation

Our board of directors has approved a compensation program under which our independent directors (currently Messrs. Leibowitz, Mackie and Tamaroff) are entitled to receive the following annual retainer and committee fees for their service as directors:

for service as a director, an annual retainer of $45,000 (increased to $50,000 effective April 1, 2020);

for service as a chair of the audit committee, $105,000 (increased from $95,000 effective January 1, 2019);

for service as a member of the audit committee other than as chair, $10,000; and

for service as a chair of the compensation committee, $95,000.

Retainer and committee fees are paid in arrears. Our independent directors received an option award with respect to 30,000 shares of our Class A common stock in connection with their initial election to our board of directors in December 2018, which vests annually over three years, subject to continued service. Our independent directors are also entitled with two directorsrespect to be designated by Alan A.

The nomination rights shall exist for so long as each individual (or, in the case of Albert Erani, collectively with Dennis Erani) beneficially owns at least 7.5% of the outstanding20,000 shares of our common stock. The Controlling Entities also agreed to vote their shares of ourClass A common stock, in support of such nominees, andvesting annually over three years, subject to appoint each of Alan A. Ades, Albert Erani and Glenn H. Nussdorf as his or her attorney-in-factcontinued service.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Summary

The compensation of our executive officers is determined by our board of directors based upon the recommendation of our compensation committee. Our formal annual compensation review process generally takes place during the first half of each fiscal year, after the results of the previous fiscal year are known. Annual discretionary cash bonuses for the completed fiscal year, if any, and long-term equity-based incentive compensation awards, if any, are awarded by the Company against certain liabilitiesboard of directors on a discretionary basis based upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, generally during the first half of each fiscal year, after a review of the previous fiscal year’s results.

As previously disclosed, we are a controlled company within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq and expensesare not required to have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. In making their recommendations and determinations, our compensation committee and our board of directors take into account publicly available information concerning the compensation practices of other, similarly situated companies in the biotechnology, medical technology and biopharmaceutical industries. This information is used by the compensation committee and the board of directors informally and primarily for purposes of comparison to ascertain whether our compensation practices for our executive officers are broadly competitive. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations with regard to the compensation of our executive officers, which are reviewed by the compensation committee and the board of directors. Executive officers (including Mr. Gillheeney) do not participate in the compensation committee’s recommendation regarding and the board’s determination of their own annual compensation.

In connection therewith.with its recommendations to the board of directors, the compensation committee periodically retains an independent compensation consultant to assess the competitiveness of the Company’s compensation levels and practice applicable to the Company’s executive officers. Nonetheless, the determinations made by the members of our compensation committee and board of directors are guided to a significant degree by their collective judgment and experience. During fiscal year 2019, the compensation committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC as an independent compensation consultant to advise on executive officer and board compensation.

Our compensation committee and board of directors has reviewed our compensation programs and believes that our compensation programs have not encouraged or rewarded excessive or inappropriate risk taking.

On August 6, 2019, we entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Dan Road Associates LLC, 85 Dan Road Associates LLC, 275 Dan Road SPE LLC and 65 Dan Road SPE LLC (collectively, the “Landlords”) pursuant to which we agreed that each Landlord shall be entitled to receive interest on the accrued but unpaid rent obligations under the leases described above as of March 14, 2019, which totaled $10,335,513.47 (the “Lease Debt”) for the period commencing April 1, 2019. The interest on the Lease Debt accrues at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (A) the prime rate plus three and three-quarters of one percent (3.75%) and (B) nine and one-quarter of one percent (9.25%), which is the rate applicable to the term loans under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 14, 2019, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), among us, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Silicon Valley Bank, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of that certain Subordination Agreement, dated as of March 14, 2019 (the “Subordination Agreement”), among the Landlords and the Administrative Agent, the Landlords agreed to subordinate all of our obligations to the Landlords (including, without limitation, rent, interest, fees, charges, expenses, costs, professional fees and expenses, and reimbursement obligations) existing as of March 14, 2019, in each case in respect of the Lease Debt. Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, we will not pay all or any part of the Lease Debt until the Senior Debt (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) has been fully paid. Accrued interest on the Lease Debt is payable in cash on the date when the Lease Debt is repaid (as to the principal amount so repaid) and shall not itself bear interest. As of September 30, 2020, accrued and unpaid interest under the Letter Agreement was equal to $1,434,001.

AHPAC’s Related Party Transactions

Related Party Loans

AHPAC issued to Avista Acquisition Corp. (the “Sponsor”) on August 11, 2017, as amended and restated on August 30, 2018 and further amended on November 8, 2018, a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note pursuant to which AHPAC was permitted to borrow up to $850,000 in aggregate principal amount. As of the closing of the business combination on December 10, 2018, AHPAC had borrowed $850,000 under such note, which amount was repaid at the closing of the business combination.

Administrative Services Agreement

AHPAC previously occupied office space provided by an affiliate of the Sponsor. Until the closing of the business combination on December 10, 2018, the affiliate made such office space, as well as certain support services, available to AHPAC. AHPAC was required to pay the affiliate an aggregate of $10,000 per month for such office space and support services. As of April 30, 2017, the affiliate agreed to defer payment of the monthly

administrative fee under the Administrative Services Agreement until the closing of the business combination. As of the closing of the business combination on December 10, 2018, $193,226 was accrued and included in accrued expenses related to the Administrative Services Agreement and was paid in full at the closing of the business combination.

Private Placement Warrants

The initial shareholders of AHPAC purchased 16,000,000 private placement warrants at $0.50 per warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000) in a private placement on the close date. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants were placed into AHPAC’s trust account. The initial shareholders also purchased an additional 400,000 private placement warrants at $0.50 per warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000) simultaneously with the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the AHPAC initial public offering. Each private placement warrant was exercisable for one-half of one AHPAC Class A ordinary share. In connection with the closing of the business combination and the transactions contemplated thereby on December 10, 2018, all 16,400,000 of the private placement warrants were surrendered to the Company for no consideration and were cancelled.

Founder Shares

In connection with the organization of AHPAC, on December 14, 2015, an aggregate of 8,625,000 AHPAC Class B ordinary shares (the “founder shares”) were sold to the Sponsor at a price of approximately $0.003 per share, for an aggregate price of $25,000. In October 2016, the Sponsor transferred 50,000 founder shares to each of AHPAC’s independent directors at a price per share of approximately $0.003 per share. In addition, at such time, each of AHPAC’s independent directors purchased an additional 421,250 founder shares from the Sponsor at a price per share of approximately $0.003 per share. The 8,625,000 founder shares included an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 shares that were subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters of the AHPAC initial public offering in order to maintain the initial shareholders’ ownership at 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon completion of the AHPAC initial public offering. Following the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, 875,000 founder shares were forfeited in order to maintain the initial shareholders’ ownership at 20% of the issued and outstanding AHPAC ordinary shares. On August 17, 2018 the Sponsor and the other holders of founder shares agreed to surrender to the Company for no consideration an aggregate of 1,937,500 founder shares in connection with the execution of the merger agreement, which founder shares were cancelled. In connection with the closing of the business combination and the transactions contemplated thereby on December 10, 2018, an additional 4,421,507 of the founder shares were surrendered to the Company and cancelled. The remaining 1,390,993 outstanding founder shares became shares of the Company’s Class A common stock upon the closing of the business combination.

Concurrently with the signing of the merger agreement, AHPAC entered into a subscription agreement with Avista Capital Partners IV, L.P. and Avista Capital Partners IV (Offshore), L.P. (together, the “PIPE Investors”) for the purchase and sale of 9,022,741 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and 4,100,000 warrants to purchase one half of one share of our Class A common stock (the “equity financing”) for an aggregate purchase price of $46 million, which was consummated concurrently with the consummation of the business combination on December 10, 2018. The effective price to the PIPE Investors of the equity financing was approximately $5.10 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock. The PIPE Investors also purchased, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the merger agreement on August 17, 2018, 6,538,732 shares of our Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $46 million. The purpose of the private investment was to fund the business combination and related transactions and for general corporate purposes. The effective price of the private investment to the PIPE Investors was approximately $5.91 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock across their aggregate $92 million investment. As a result of the incremental surrender of founder shares described above, the effective price of the equity financing to the Company was approximately $7.035 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock. The warrants surrendered did not impact these calculations, as no purchase price was allocated to the warrants in light of the exercise price of the warrants.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE AND

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Audit Committee Report

The primary role of our audit committee is to assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information proposed to be provided to stockholders and others, the adequacy of the system of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures established by management and the Board, and the audit process and the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining the company’s system of internal controls and for preparation of the company’s financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and issuing an opinion on the financial statements. The audit committee has met and held discussions with management and our independent registered public accounting firm, and has also met separately with our independent registered public accounting firm, without management present, to review the adequacy of our internal controls, financial reporting practices and audit process.

The audit committee has reviewed and discussed our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. As part of this review, the audit committee discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Statement on Auditing Standards No. 16, “Communication with Audit Committees,” as amended.

The audit committee has received from our independent registered public accounting firm a written statement describing all relationships between that firm and Organogenesis Holdings Inc. that might bear on the registered public accounting firm’s independence, consistent with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence.” The audit committee has discussed the written statement with the independent registered public accounting firm, and has considered whether the independent registered public accounting firm’s provision of any consultation and other non-audit services to Organogenesis Holdings Inc. is compatible with maintaining the registered public accounting firm’s independence.

Based on the above-mentioned reviews and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors that Organogenesis Holdings Inc.’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

11. CONDITIONS; TERMINATION; WAIVERS; EXTENSIONS; AMENDMENTS

The conditions of the Offer are:

i. there shall not have been instituted, threatened in writing or be pending any action or proceeding before or by any court or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or instrumentality, or by any other person, in connection with the Offer, that is, or is reasonably likely to be, in our reasonable judgment, materially adverse to our business, operations, properties, condition, assets, liabilities or prospects, or which would or might, in our reasonable judgment, prohibit, prevent, restrict or delay consummation of the Offer or materially impair the contemplated benefits to us of the Offer;

ii. no order, statute, rule, regulation, executive order, stay, decree, judgment or injunction shall have been proposed, enacted, entered, issued, promulgated, enforced or deemed applicable by any court or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or instrumentality that, in our reasonable judgment, would or would be reasonably likely to prohibit, prevent, restrict or delay consummation of the Offer or materially impair the contemplated benefits to us of the Offer, or that is, or is reasonably likely to be, materially adverse to our business, operations, properties, condition, assets, liabilities or prospects;

iii. in our reasonable judgment, there shall not have occurred or be reasonably likely to occur, any material adverse change to our business, operations, properties, condition, assets, liabilities, prospects or financial affairs; and

iv. there shall not have occurred:

b. any material adverse change in the price of the Shares in U.S. securities or financial markets;

c.make a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect to banks in the United States;

d. any limitation (whether or not mandatory) by any government or governmental, regulatory or administrative authority, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or other event that, in our reasonable judgment, would or would be reasonably likely to affect the extension of credit by banks or other lending institutions; or

e. a commencement or significant worsening of a war or armed hostilities or other national or international calamity, including but not limited to, catastrophic terrorist attacks against the United States or its citizens.statement if they desire.

v. at least 65% of the Public Warrants (which is the minimum number required to amend the Warrant Agreement) are tendered in the OfferAudit and Consent Solicitation.

The foregoing conditions are solely for our benefit, and we may assert one or more of the conditions regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such conditions. We may also, in our sole and absolute discretion, waive these conditions in whole or in part, subject to the potential requirement to disseminate additional information and extend the Offer and Consent Solicitation, as described below. The determination by us as to whether any condition has been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding on all parties. The failure by us at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed a continuing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Date.

We may terminate the Offer and Consent Solicitation if any of the conditions of the Offer are not satisfied prior to the Expiration Date. In the event that we terminate the Offer and Consent Solicitation, all Public Warrants tendered by a Public Warrant holder in connection with the Offer will be returned to such Public Warrant holder and the Public Warrants will expire in accordance with their terms on December 10, 2023 and will otherwise remain subject to their original terms, including the redemption provisions.

Subject to applicable securities laws and the terms and conditions set forth in this Offer Letter, we expressly reserve the right (but will not be obligated), at any time or from time to time, prior to the Expiration Date, regardless of whether or not any of the events set forth above shall have occurred or shall have been determined by us to have occurred, to (a) waive any and all conditions of the Offer and Consent Solicitation, (b) extend the Offer and Consent Solicitation, or (c) otherwise amend the Offer and Consent Solicitation in any respect. The rights reserved by us in this paragraph are in addition to our rights to terminate the Offer and Consent Solicitation described above. Irrespective of any amendment to the Offer and Consent Solicitation, all Public Warrants previously tendered pursuant to the Offer and Consent Solicitation and not accepted for exchange or withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer and Consent Solicitation and may be accepted thereafter for exchange by us.

If we materially change the terms of the Offer and Consent Solicitation or the information concerning the Offer and Consent Solicitation, or if we waive a material condition to the Offer and Consent Solicitation, we will disseminate additional information and extend the Offer and Consent Solicitation to the extent required by Exchange Act Rules 13e-4(d)(2) and 13e-4(e)(3). In addition, we may, if we deem appropriate, extend the Offer and Consent Solicitation for any other reason. In addition, if the exchange ratio for Shares to Public Warrants is adjusted, the Offer and Consent Solicitation will remain open at least ten (10) business days from the date we first give notice of such change to Public Warrant holders, by press release or otherwise.

Any extension, amendment or termination of the Offer and Consent Solicitation by us will be followed promptly by a public announcement thereof. Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make such announcement, we will not, unless otherwise required by law, have any obligation to advertise or otherwise communicate any such announcement other than by making a release to the Dow Jones News Service, Globe Newswire or such other means of public announcement as we deem appropriate.

If for any reason the acceptance for exchange (whether before or after any Public Warrants have been accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer and Consent Solicitation), or the exchange for, Public Warrants subject to the Offer and Consent Solicitation is delayed or if we are unable to accept for exchange, or exchange for, Public Warrants pursuant to the Offer and Consent Solicitation, then, without prejudice to our rights under the Offer and Consent Solicitation, tendered Public Warrants may be retained by the Depositary on our behalf and may not be withdrawn (subject to Exchange Act Rule 14e-1(c), which requires that an offeror deliver the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or on behalf of the investor promptly after the termination or withdrawal of a tender offer). In addition to being limited by Exchange Act Rule 14e-1(c), our reservation of the right to delay delivery of the Shares for Public Warrants which we have accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer and Consent Solicitation is limited by Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(f)(5), which requires that an offeror deliver the consideration offered or return the securities tendered pursuant to a tender offer promptly after

termination or withdrawal of that tender offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, tendered Public Warrants may also be withdrawn if the Company has not accepted the Public Warrants for exchange by the 40th business day after the initial commencement of the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13e-4, we have filed the Schedule TO with the SEC which contains additional information with respect to the Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Schedule TO, including the exhibits and any amendments thereto, may be examined, and copies may be obtained, at the same places and in the same manner as set forth under “Additional Information; Miscellaneous” in this Offer Letter.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our audit committee’s pre-approval policies or procedures do not allow our management to theengage RSM US LLP to provide any specified services without specific tax consequences to themaudit committee pre-approval of the Offer in light of their particular circumstances.

If an entity treated as a partnershipengagement for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Public Warrants, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Holders owning their Public Warrants through a partnership should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequence of exchanging Public Warrants for Shares pursuant to the Offer.

This summary is based on the Code, applicable Treasury regulations, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions, each as in effect on the date hereof.those services. All of the foregoing are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or differing interpretationsservices provided by the Internal Revenue Service (“RSM US LLP during fiscal years 2018 and 2019 were pre-approved.IRS”) or a court, which could affect the tax consequences described herein.

The Company believes that the exchange of Public Warrants for Shares pursuant to the Offer constitutes a value-for-value exchange. Assuming the exchange of Public Warrants for Shares pursuant to the Offer constitutes a value-for-value exchange, the exchange should be treated as a “recapitalization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code pursuant to which (i) no gain or loss should be recognized on the exchange of Public Warrants for Shares, (ii) a holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Shares received in the exchange should equal the holder’s aggregate tax basis in its Public Warrants surrendered in exchange therefor, and (iii) a holder’s holding periodWhistleblower Procedures

Our audit committee has adopted procedures for the Shares received in the exchange should include its holding periodtreatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, including procedures for the surrendered Public Warrants. Special tax basisconfidential and holding period rules apply to holders that acquired different blocksanonymous submission by our directors, officers and employees of Public Warrants at different pricesconcerns regarding questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or at different times. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the applicability of these special rules to their particular circumstances.

Although the Company believes the exchange pursuant to the Offer is a value-for-value transaction, because of the uncertainty inherent in any valuation, there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would agree. If the IRS or a court were to view the exchange pursuant to the Offer as the issuance of Shares to an exchanging holder having a value in excess of the Public Warrants surrendered by such holder, such excess value could be viewed as a constructive dividend under Section 305 of the Code. Although not free from doubt, it is expected that suchauditing matters.

13. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS; RISK FACTORS

This Offer Letter contains forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward looking statements usually relate to future events, conditions and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “will,” “plans,” “may,” “should,” or the negative thereof or similar terms. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that these statements are not forward-looking. These are based on our current expectation, belief and assumptions concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future development affecting us will be those that we anticipate.

All of our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements include those set forth in this “Item 12. Forward-Looking Statements; Risk Factors.” We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

An investment in our Shares involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the risks identified below relating to the Offer, please refer to our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed on March 18, 2019, as amended, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, filed on May 9, 2019, for a discussion of risks relating to our business and an investment in our Shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the matters identified as potential risks materialize, our business could be harmed. In that event, the trading price of our Shares and Public Warrants could decline.

The Warrant Amendment, if approved, will allow us to require that all outstanding Public Warrants be exchanged for Shares.

If we complete the Offer and Consent Solicitation and obtain the requisite approval of the Warrant Amendment by holders of the Public Warrants, the Company will have the right to require holders of all outstanding Public Warrants, including holders who do not wish to participate and did not participate in the Offer, to exchange their Warrants for Shares, at a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer, thus eliminating all of the outstanding Public Warrants.

There is no guarantee that your decision whether to tender your Public Warrants in the Offer will put you in a better future economic position.

We can give no assurance as to the price at which a stockholder may be able to sell his, her or its Shares in the future following the completion of the Offer. If you choose to tender some or all of your Public Warrants in the Offer, certain future events (including, without limitation, those described in “The Offer, Section 5.E, Plans, Proposals or Negotiations”), which may be significant and may happen quickly at any time in the future, may result in you realizing a lower value than you might have realized in the future had you not agreed to exchange

your Public Warrants. Similarly, if you do not tender your Public Warrants in the Offer, you will continue to bear the risk of ownership of your Public Warrants after the closing of the Offer, and there can be no assurance that you can sell your Public Warrants (or exercise them for Shares) in the future at a higher price than would have been obtained by participating in the Offer or at all. You should carefully review the terms of the Public Warrants, including the Public Warrant Agreement governing the Public Warrants, and consult your own individual tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how the tender of your Public Warrants may affect your individual situation.

If the Offer is successful, the liquidity of the market for the Public Warrants will be substantially reduced.

If the Offer is successful, the holders of Public Warrants who tender their Public Warrants will receive Shares that are listed on Nasdaq, and the liquidity of the market for any remaining Public Warrants, which are listed on OTC, will be substantially reduced.

There is no assurance that a significant number of Public Warrants will be tendered in the Offer.

There is no assurance that any significant number of Public Warrants will be tendered in the Offer. Moreover, even if a significant number of Public Warrants are tendered in the Offer, there is no assurance that the market price of our Shares will increase. The price of our Shares and the decision of any investors to make an equity investment in the Company are based on numerous material factors, of which the dilutive impact of our outstanding Public Warrants, or overhang, is only one. Eliminating or significantly reducing our Public Warrant overhang will not generate any capital for the Company.

The market price of our Shares will fluctuate, which may adversely affect Public Warrant holders who tender their Public Warrants for Shares.

The market price of our Shares will fluctuate between the date the Offer is commenced, the Expiration Date of the Offer and the date on which Shares are issued to tendering Public Warrant holders. Accordingly, the market price of Shares upon settlement of the Offer could be less than the price at which the Public Warrants could be sold. The Company does not intend to adjust the exchange ratio of Shares for Public Warrants based on any fluctuation in our Share price.

Resales of the additional Shares issued pursuant to the Offer may adversely affect the Share price.

Shares issued in the Offer will be freely tradable, unless held by affiliates. In light of the current trading volume of our Shares, if the holders of the Public Warrants were to sell a significant portion of the Shares obtained from the Offer, such sales could have a negative impact on the trading price of our Shares.

No rulings or opinions have been received as to the tax consequences of the Offer to holders of Public Warrants.

The tax consequences that will result to Public Warrant holders that participate in the Offer are not well defined by the existing authorities. No ruling of any governmental authority and no opinion of counsel has been issued or rendered on these matters. Public Warrant holders must therefore rely on the advice of their own tax advisors in assessing these matters. For a general discussion of certain tax considerations, see “The Offer, Section 12. Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

14. THE DEPOSITARY, INFORMATION AGENT AND FINANCIAL ADVISOR

We have retained Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, to act as the Depositary, and Morrow Sodali LLC, to act as the Information Agent, in connection with the Offer. All deliveries, correspondence and questions sent or presented to the Depositary or the Information Agent relating to the Offer should be directed to the

addresses or telephone numbers set forth on the back cover of this Offer Letter. The Information Agent and the Depositary will receive reasonable and customary compensation for their respective services, will be reimbursed by us for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will be indemnified against certain liabilities in connection with the Offer, including certain liabilitiesRule 14a-8 promulgated under the federal securities laws.

We also retained Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC to act as a financial advisor in connection with a financial restructuring of the Company’s outstanding warrants. Credit Suisse will only provide customary and permissible services for a financial advisor within the scope of transactions conducted under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will not engage, directly or indirectly, in soliciting tenders of Public Warrants pursuant to the Offer.

We will not pay any fees or commissions to brokers, dealers or other persons (other than fees to the Information Agent as described above) for soliciting tenders of Public Warrants pursuant to the Offer. Public Warrant holders holding Public Warrants through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee are urged to consult such nominees to determine whether transaction costs may apply if Public Warrant holders tender Public Warrants through such nominees and not directly to the Depositary. We will, however, upon request, reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding the Offer and related materials to the beneficial owners of Public Warrants held by them as a nominee or in a fiduciary capacity. No broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee has been authorized to act as our agent or the agent of the Information Agent or the Depositary for purposes of the Offer.
