NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

Aziyo Biologics, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Aziyo” or the “Company”) is a regenerative medicine company, with a focus on patients receiving implantable medical devices. The Company has developed a portfolio of regenerative products using both human and porcine tissue that are designed to be as close to natural biological material as possible. Aziyo’s portfolio of core products spans the implantable electronic devices/cardiovascular-related market, the orthopedic/spinal repair market and the soft tissue reconstruction market (“Core Products”). These products are primarily sold to healthcare providers or commercial partners. The Company also sells human tissue products under contract manufacturing and certain other arrangements (“Non-Core Products”) with corporate customers.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The financial information as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is unaudited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for these interim periods have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or any future year or period.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $27.5 million, and as of September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $132.5 million. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company used $16.2 million and $5.7 million of cash in operating and financing activities, respectively, and expects to continue to incur cash outflows for the remainder of the year. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s commercialization and development efforts, the Company is unable to predict when it will become profitable, and it may never become profitable. The Company’s inability to achieve and then maintain profitability would negatively affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In order to mitigate the current and potential future liquidity issues caused by the matters noted above, the Company may seek to raise capital through the issuance of common stock or debt, restructure its Revenue Interest Obligation (as such term is defined, and further described, in Note 7), or pursue asset sale or licensing transactions. However, such transactions may not be successful and the Company may not be able to raise additional equity or debt, restructure its Revenue Interest Obligation, or sell or license assets on acceptable terms, or at all. As such, based on its current operating plans, the Company believes there is uncertainty as to whether its future cash flows along with its existing cash, potential availability under the SWK Loan Facility (described in Note 6), issuances of additional equity and cash

Table of Contents

generated from expected future sales will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated operating needs through twelve months from the financial statement issuance date. Due to these factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance of the financial statements.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. That is, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year financial statement presentation. The reclassifications relate to the separate presentation of prior year costs related to the FiberCel Litigation (see Note 8 for further discussion). Such costs were formerly shown as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions relating to inventory, receivables, long-lived assets, the valuation of stock-based awards, the valuation of the Revenue Interest Obligation and deferred income taxes are made at the end of each financial reporting period by management. Management continually re-evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, and management's evaluation could change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impact of COVID-19

The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants on its business. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended various containment and mitigation measures worldwide. Since that time, the number of procedures performed using the Company's products has intermittently decreased, as governmental authorities in the United States have recommended, and in certain cases required, that elective, specialty and other non-emergency procedures and appointments be suspended or canceled in order to avoid patient exposure to medical environments and the risk of potential infection with COVID-19, and to focus limited resources and personnel capacity on the treatment of COVID-19 patients. As a result, beginning in March 2020, a significant number of procedures using the Company's products have intermittently been postponed or cancelled, which has negatively impacted sales of its products. These measures and challenges will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and may reduce the Company's net sales in the future and negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations while the pandemic continues.

Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Our common stock has a dual class structure, consisting of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class A common stock) and Class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class B common stock). Other than voting rights, the Class B common stock has the same rights as the Class A common stock, and therefore both are treated as the same class of stock for purposes of the earnings per share calculation. Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of the diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders calculation, stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are considered to be common stock equivalents. All common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, as their effect would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for both periods presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

The estimated fair value of financial instruments disclosed in the financial statements has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying value of all current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature.

Cash and Restricted Cash

The Company maintains its cash balances at banks and financial institutions. The balances are insured up to the legal limit. The Company maintains cash balances that may, at times, exceed this insured limit.

Under the provisions of the Company’s former revolving credit facility, the MidCap Credit Facility (as such term is defined, and further described in Note 6), the Company had a lockbox arrangement with the banking institution whereby daily lockbox receipts were contractually utilized to pay down outstanding balances on the MidCap Credit Facility debt. Lockbox receipts that had not yet been applied to the MidCap Credit Facility were classified as restricted cash in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the amounts included in the statements of cash flows (in thousands).

Total cash and restricted cash shown in statements of cash flows	$	8,101	$	22,626

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

Accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts and other credits. The Company grants credit to customers in the normal course of business, but generally does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables.

The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where a specific customer is unable to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a provision to the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount that is reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, a provision to the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and the Company’s historical experience. Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded to general and administrative expenses. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered.

Table of Contents

Inventory

Inventory, consisting of purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined generally using the average cost method. Inventory write-downs for unprocessed and certain processed donor tissue are recorded based on the estimated amount of inventory that will not pass the quality control process based on historical data. At each balance sheet date, the Company also evaluates inventory for excess quantities, obsolescence or shelf life expiration. This evaluation includes analysis of the Company’s current and future strategic plans, historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products, general market conditions and a review of the shelf life expiration dates for products. To the extent that management determines there is excess or obsolete inventory or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for the Company to reasonably expect that it can sell those products prior to their expiration, the Company adjusts the carrying value to estimated net realizable value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:


Processing and research equipment		5 to 10 years
Office equipment and furniture		3 to 5 years
Computer hardware and software		3 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets

Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are carried at acquired fair value, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

The Company periodically evaluates the period of depreciation or amortization for long-lived assets to determine whether current circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company reviews its property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the company’s asset exceeds the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If impairment exists, the carrying value of that asset is adjusted to its fair value. A discounted cash flow analysis is used to estimate an asset’s fair value, using assumptions that market participants would apply. The results of impairment tests are subject to management’s estimates and assumptions of projected cash flows and operating results. Changes in assumptions or market conditions could result in a change in estimated future cash flows and could result in a lower fair value and therefore an impairment, which could impact reported results. There were no impairment losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. The core principle of ASC 606 is that the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASC 606 revenue recognition model consists of the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Table of Contents

As noted above, the Company enters into contracts to sell and distribute products to healthcare providers or commercial partners, or produce and sell products under contract manufacturing arrangements with corporate customers, and in all such cases, customers are billed under ship and bill contract terms. Revenue is recognized when the Company has met its performance obligations pursuant to its contracts with its customers in an amount that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of control of the products to the Company’s customers. For all product sales, the Company has no further performance obligations and revenue is recognized at the point control transfers which occurs either when: (i) the product is shipped via common carrier; or (ii) the product is delivered to the customer or distributor, in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

A portion of the Company’s product revenue is generated from consigned inventory maintained at hospitals and from inventory physically held by direct sales representatives. For these types of product sales, the Company retains control until the product has been used or implanted, at which time revenue is recognized.

The Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a separate performance obligation. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included as part of the transaction price and recognized as revenue when control of the underlying products is transferred to the customer. The related shipping and freight charges incurred by the Company are included in sales and marketing costs.

Contracts with customers state the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each implant distributed. The payment terms and conditions in the Company’s contracts vary; however, as a common business practice, payment terms are typically due in full within 30 to 60 days of delivery. The Company, at times, extends volume discounts to customers.

The Company permits returns of its products in accordance with the terms of contractual agreements with customers. Allowances for returns are provided based upon analysis of the Company’s historical patterns of returns matched against the revenues from which they originated. The Company records estimated returns as a reduction of revenue in the same period revenue is recognized.

Deferred Rent

The Company recognizes rent expense by the straight-line method over the lease term. Funds received from the lessor used to reimburse the Company for the cost of leasehold improvements are recorded as a deferred credit resulting from a lease incentive and are amortized over the lease term as a reduction of rent expense.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Accounting for Stock Compensation. FASB ASC 718 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs, which include mainly salaries, outside services and supplies, are expensed as incurred.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. At September 30, 2022, the Company maintained $7.8 million in bank deposit accounts that are in excess of the $0.25 million insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in one federally insured financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) comprises net income (loss) and other changes in equity that are excluded from net income (loss). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s net loss equaled its comprehensive loss and accordingly, no additional disclosure is presented.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years for differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the federal and state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not (greater than 50%) of being realized upon settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), Effective Dates.” The FASB deferred the effective dates of the new credit losses standard for all entities except filers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that are not smaller reporting companies (“SRCs”) to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The FASB also aligned the effective dates of ASU 2017-04 on goodwill impairment with the new effective dates of the credit losses standard. The FASB deferred the effective dates of its new standards on hedging and leases for entities that are not public business entities (“PBEs”) (and for leases, for entities that are not non-for-profit (“NFP”) entities that have issues, or are conduit bond obligors for, certain securities; and are not employee benefit plans (“EBPs”) that file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC) to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods in the following year. The FASB is also reconsidering its philosophy on establishing effective dates

Table of Contents

for major standards for private companies, NFPs, EBPs and smaller public companies. The FASB has developed a two-bucket approach that would give these entities more time to implement major new standards. The Company is evaluating this standard to determine if adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires that lessees recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability subject to certain adjustments. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases). In November 2019, the FASB issued 2019-10 which extended the adoption of ASU 2016-02 for the Company to be effective for periods ending after December 15, 2022. While early adoption is permitted, the Company will adopt the standard in the fourth quarter of 2022 for the full 2022 year, and expects to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $2.4 million.

Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation

In 2015, the Company established the Aziyo Biologics, Inc. 2015 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, as amended (the “2015 Plan”) which provided for the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. On October 7, 2020, in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Company adopted the Aziyo Biologics, Inc. 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which authorizes the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants. Shares of Class A common stock totaling 1,636,000 were initially reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2020 Plan. In addition, the shares reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan will also include shares reserved but not issued under the 2015 Plan as well as an annual increase as set forth in the 2020 Plan. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had 756,809 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

On June 21, 2022, C. Randal Mills, Ph.D., a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, was appointed as the Company’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Ronald Lloyd, who stepped down as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board. In connection with his appointment as the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mills and the Company entered into an employment agreement for an initial term of 90 days (such period, the “Interim Period”). On August 9, 2022, Dr. Mills was appointed to the role of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, thereby ending the Interim Period, and his employment agreement was extended pursuant to the terms thereof.

In accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, Dr. Mills (1) received a stock option award to purchase 456,278 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (the “Option Grant”) on June 21, 2022; three-fifths of such Option Grant is subject to time-based vesting (the “Time-Based Options”) and two-fifths of such Option Grant is subject to performance-based vesting (the “Performance Based Options”) and (2) is eligible to receive 224,734 restricted stock units (the “RSU Grant”); three-fifths of such RSU Grant is subject to time-based vesting (the “Time-Based RSUs”) and two-fifths of such RSU Grant is subject to performance-based vesting (the “Performance-Based RSUs”). One-third of the Time-Based Options vested on August 9, 2022 (end of the Interim Period), and two-thirds of the Time-Based Options vest over a four-year vesting schedule with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of June 21, 2022 and the remaining portion vesting in twelve equal quarterly installments. One-third of the Time-Based RSUs vest on the grant date, and two-thirds of the Time-Based RSUs vest over a four-year vesting schedule in equal annual installments. The Performance-Based Options and Performance-Based RSUs each vest in equal installments upon the achievement of certain share price thresholds for twenty consecutive days of trading at each respective threshold. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, all of these awards were deemed granted on June 21, 2022, for purposes of and in accordance with ASC 718, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation; however, the RSUs had not been legally granted as of September 30, 2022. It is anticipated that such RSUs will be legally granted prior to December 31, 2022, and the vested shares underlying the award will be deemed outstanding as of such time.

Table of Contents

In connection with his resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lloyd and the Company entered into a separation agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Lloyd remained a full-time, non-officer employee of the Company through September 30, 2022 to assist with the transition of his duties to his successor. On September 30, 2022, Mr. Lloyd received: (i) cash severance in an amount equal to his base salary for a period of 12 months and 100% of his annual target bonus and (ii) the COBRA benefits, during the 12-month period following September 30, 2022. The Company recognized Mr. Lloyd’s severance costs totaling approximately $0.6 million over the period from June 21, 2022 through September 30, 2022, and as of September 30, 2022, all such expenses were included in Accrued Expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Stock Options

The Company’s policy is to grant stock options at an exercise price equal to 100% of the market value of a share of Class A common stock at closing on the date of the grant. The Company’s stock options have contractual terms of seven to ten years, and generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant.

A summary of stock option activity under the Company’s 2015 Plan and 2020 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is as follows:


				Weighted-
				Average
		Weighted-		Remaining		Aggregate
		Average		Contractual		Intrinsic
		Exercise		Term		Value
	Number of Shares	Price		(years)		(in thousands)
Outstanding, December 31, 2021	1,386,811	$	13.28		7.8	$	179
Granted	1,075,858	$	5.77
Exercised	(1,881)	$	5.58
Forfeited	(705,341)	$	10.83
Outstanding, September 30, 2022	1,755,447	$	9.68		7.2	$	1,329
Vested and exercisable, September 30, 2022	688,632	$	10.40		4.2	$	419

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $3.15. As of September 30, 2022, there was approximately $4.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value its time-based stock option grants and expenses the related compensation cost using the straight-line method over the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined on the grant date using assumptions for the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock, expected term, expected volatility, dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate. Before the completion of the Company’s IPO, the Board determined the fair value of common stock considering the state of the business, input from management, third party valuations and other considerations. The Company uses the simplified method for estimating the expected term used to determine the fair value of options. The expected volatility of the Class A common stock is primarily based on the historical volatility of comparable companies in the industry whose share prices are publicly available. The Company uses a zero-dividend yield assumption as the Company has not paid dividends since inception nor does it anticipate paying dividends in the future. The risk-free interest rate approximates recent U.S. Treasury note auction results with a similar life to that of the option. The period expense is then determined based on the valuation of the options, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Table of Contents

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2022		2021
Expected term (years)	6.2		6.0
Risk-free interest rate	2.0	%	1.0	%
Volatility factor	53	%	64	%
Dividend yield	—		—

For the Performance-Based Options granted as described above, the Company accounted for the awards as market condition awards and used an option pricing model, the Monte Carlo model, to determine the fair value of the respective equity instruments and an expense recognition term of approximately three years.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) represent rights to receive common shares at a future date. There is no exercise price and no monetary payment is required for receipt of restricted stock units or the shares issued in settlement of the award. The Company’s RSUs generally vest over a three to four year period from the date of grant.

A summary of the RSU activity under the Company’s 2020 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is as follows:


		Weighted-
		Average
	Number of Shares	Grant Date
	Underlying RSUs	Fair Value
Unvested, December 31, 2021	235,985	$	15.98
Granted	586,083	$	4.08
Vested	(238,142)	$	6.64
Forfeited	(210,594)	$	11.42
Unvested, September 30, 2022	373,332	$	5.89

The total fair value of the RSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.4 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 289,282 Performance-Based RSUs. All such RSUs, including those granted to Dr. Mills and described above, vest only if or when the Company’s Class A common stock closing price is at or exceeds a defined share price for a defined period of time. As such, all of these awards have been accounted for as market condition awards. Given the nature of these market condition arrangements, an option pricing model, the Monte Carlo model, was used to determine the fair value of these RSUs as well as the expense recognition term of two to three years using the graded vesting method.

As of September 30, 2022, $1.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company makes shares of its Class A common stock available for purchase under the Aziyo Biologics, Inc. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP provides for separate six-month offering periods that begin in March and September of each year. Under the ESPP, employees may purchase a limited number of shares of Aziyo Class A common stock at 85% of the fair market value on either the first day of the offering period or the purchase date, whichever is lower. The ESPP is considered compensatory for purposes of stock-based compensation expense. The number of shares reserved under the ESPP will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year through January 1, 2030, in an amount as set forth in the ESPP. As of September 30, 2022, the total shares of Class A common stock

Table of Contents

authorized for issuance under the ESPP was 380,997, of which 279,345 remained available for future issuance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 74,408 shares of Class A common stock were issued under the ESPP.
