Item 1.02.    Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, on July 2, 2019, Acutus Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the License and Distribution Agreement with Biotronik SE & Co. KG (“Biotronik”) and VascoMed GmbH (the “LDA”), pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets and licensing rights (including distribution rights) related to certain products, including the AcQBlate Force Ablation Catheters. Further description of the LDA is included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 15, 2020 (the “S-1”), which description is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the LDA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the LDA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 24, 2023 (the “10-K”).

Further, as previously reported, on May 11, 2020, the Company entered into the Global Alliance for Acutus Product Distribution Agreement (as amended by the 1st Amendment to the Global Alliance for Acutus Product Distribution Agreement, dated June 9, 2021 and the 2nd Amendment to the Global Alliance for Acutus Product Distribution Agreement, dated April 25, 2022) and the Global Alliance for Biotronik Product Distribution Agreement (collectively, the “Bi-Lateral Distribution Agreements”), in each case with Biotronik. Further descriptions of the Bi-Lateral Distribution Agreements are included in the Company’s S-1, which descriptions are incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing descriptions of the Bi-Lateral Distribution Agreements are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by the Bi-Lateral Distribution Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.5 and 10.6 to the Company’s 10-K.

On February 2, 2024, Biotronik sent a Notice of Rescission and Termination (the “Notice”) to the Company. The Notice provides that Biotronik rescinds and terminates the Bi-Lateral Distribution Agreements, effective immediately, based on the Company’s alleged repudiation of its contractual obligations under the Bi-Lateral Distribution Agreements, and alleges damages in an amount to be quantified by Biotronik. Biotronik has separately alleged that the Company breached its contractual obligations to Biotronik under the LDA as a result of the wind down of its mapping and ablation businesses and alleges further damages.

The Company disagrees with Biotronik’s allegations. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously should that be necessary and will pursue all legal remedies available under applicable laws.s.
