LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
January 2022
Dear fellow shareholders,
In fiscal 2022 we made terrific strides in advancing our game-changing cortical, strip, grid and sEEG electrode technology for broad diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Today, NeuroOne provides a full line of electrode technology to address an estimated worldwide market of $100 million for patients requiring diagnostic brain mapping procedures. Our focus remains on patients suffering from epilepsy, chronic back pain, and Parkinson’s disease.
NeuroOne’s robust product suite has recently expanded beyond our first disruptive product introduction, the Evo® Cortical Electrode, to include our second FDA 510(k) cleared product, the Evo® sEEG Depth Electrode system, which is ready for commercial launch in the current calendar quarter. During 2022 we also made substantial development progress with our first combination system which includes both diagnostic and ablation capabilities.
The purpose of this letter is to share with you fiscal year 2022 and subsequent key highlights along with multiple exciting catalysts for NeuroOne in fiscal 2023.
Fiscal Year 2022 and Subsequent Highlights
Clearly our most exciting and important accomplishment as a company to date was receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for our Evo® sEEG product portfolio.
FDA 510(k) clearance enables us to market the Evo sEEG (stereoelectroencephalography) Electrode technology for temporary (less than 30 days) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain. With this milestone, the full diagnostic functionality of our EVO sEEG System is complete.
The first commercial order of Evo sEEG Electrodes for temporary (less than 30 days) use was shipped to Zimmer Biomet, another major achievement for our Company. Our manufacturing ramp and commercialization strategies are in place for near-term market introduction in collaboration with our distribution and development partner Zimmer Biomet (NYSE: ZBH).
Significant progress was made in the development of our OneRFTM therapeutic ablation electrode system. Milestones completed include i) testing of hardware and software
prototypes for the accompanying RF generator, ii) the design and
testing of the OneRF system accessories, and iii) a second successfulanimal feasibility study at the Mayo Clinic. Designed to both record
brain activity and ablate nervous tissue using the same electrode, our
system offers the potential for a safer and less expensive combination electrode,
intended to improve patient outcomes, reduce procedures and overall treatment
cost. This system will potentially be our first therapeutic device, representing the next major phase in our Company’s development.
We completed initial testing and advanced the development of electrodes for chronic stimulation and recording. Our initial target is the spinal cord stimulation market, a $3 billion market in the U.S. alone. We are designing our devices to utilize percutaneous delivery systems (non- surgical placements) that require less battery energy and expanded tissue coverage as compared to standard electrodes placed percutaneously1. Since our electrodes are intended to be implanted for long-term use, theyhave advanced insulation against
fluid permeation and greater durability than devices intended for less than 30 days use. Prominent key opinion leaders joined our new Physician Advisory Board to help guide our development of both the electrode and device delivery system(s).
We increased our financial runway and maintain capital resources to support upcoming commercial and development catalysts. In August 2022 we received an accelerated $3.5 million payment from Zimmer Biomet related to certain milestone events, as part of an amendment to our distribution and development agreement. Earlier in fiscal year 2022 we completed a public offering, raising gross proceeds of $13.4 million.
Additional partners were qualified for manufacturing. With an expanded supply chain, we are well- equipped to meet increased product demand with the market launch of the Evo sEEG.
We bolstered our management team by hiring key positions in Research and Development and Quality Control. Our leadership team holds deep expertise in thin film electrode technology research and development, marketing, finance, quality control, regulatory affairs, and business development. The Company also benefits from a world-class board of directors and esteemed scientific and physician advisory boards.

NeuroOne joined the University of Minnesota in a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant submission. NIH funding would support our joint development of a chronic cortical electrode capable of both recording and stimulation. We believe this device will provide new opportunities for clinical studies in many areas, including chronic pain, substance use disorder, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and other mental health conditions.
Our corporate and scientific teams presented and promoted NeuroOne at numerous high-profile events in the U.S. and overseas. Our data was presented to the scientific community at the Neuroelectronic Interfaces Gordon Research Conference, Congress of Neurological Surgeons, Society for Neuroscience, and American Epilepsy Society meetings. We exhibited our Evo electrode product family with Zimmer Biomet at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons annual meeting and the American Epilepsy Society annual meeting. The Evo sEEG implantation accuracy study was featured in a podium presentation at the Biennial Meeting of the World Society for Stereotactic &Functional Neurosurgery, held in South Korea. Our full team participated in a Nasdaq Stock Market Closing Bell ceremony to celebrate our Evo sEEG FDA 510(k) clearance milestone.Fiscal Year 2023 Potential Catalysts
Commercial launch of Evo sEEG Electrodes. We expect to begin the commercial launch of our Evo sEEG electrodes with Zimmer Biomet in the first calendar quarter of 2023. We have already shipped the first commercial order and will continue to build up inventory to meet product forecasts and additional orders in house.
Continuing ablation electrode development. OneRF is on track for submission of a 510(k) application to the FDA in the second quarter of calendar year 2023.
Continuing spinal cord stimulation (SCS) electrode development. In 2023, we will continue to refine our chronic spinal cord electrode design based on customer feedback and conduct additional pre- clinical bench and/or animal tests to further validate our value proposition.
Exploration of additional partnerships. We believe there may be opportunities to establish mutually beneficial relationships with companies that could leverage our core technology. Our technology enables, complements, and/or competes with a number of companies that are in the market or attempting to enter the market with diagnostic or therapeutic technologies to treat brain related disorders. In addition, our technology may have application in cardiovascular, orthopedic, and pain related indications that could benefit from a high-fidelity thin film electrode product that can provide stimulation and/or ablation therapies.
Exploration of new indications. As mentioned previously, we are excited about working with the University of Minnesota to develop an electrode that could be used as part of a closed loop cortical system that has the potential to provide both recording and therapeutic stimulation for multiple indications, one of which includes mental health conditions, an exciting market that is exploring more effective treatments in addition to pharmacological care.
In closing, the NeuroOne team made great progress in fiscal 2022 on multiple fronts including commercialization, product development, and financing. We are in a strong position to continue executing meaningful advances in electrode technology for a variety of neurological applications.

Evo® Cortical ElectrodeNeuroOne offers a breakthrough thin-film electrode for the diagnosis of various neurological conditions. Evo’s high- definition, minimally invasive technology delivers major advantages over the limitations of legacy silicone-based electrodes, hampered by the lack of innovation and progress in electrode technology, that are still widely used today.o Over 7 times thinner and 8 times lighter than comparable silicone electrodes used in legacy products. o Flexibility, thinness, and reduced weight facilitates potential for minimally invasive placement.o Reduced inflammation as compared to silicon-based legacy electrodes based on published testing by Mayo.Evo cortical electrode technology has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for recording, monitoring, and stimulating brain tissue for up to 30 days.
Evo® sEEG Electrode
The Evo sEEG electrode technology offers stereoelectrocencephalography recording, spinal cord stimulation, brain stimulation and ablation solutions. The first clinical case using the Evo sEEG electrode was recently performed by Dr. Robert Gross at Emory University for intraoperative brain mapping at the subsurface level of the brain.
The sEEG electrode has received FDA 510(k) clearance from the FDA for use of less than 24 hours. A 510(k) for Evo sEEG electrode technology for up to 30 day use has been submitted to the FDA.
Brain Monitoring – Understanding What Allows Us To Sense, Move, Think And Feel
Neurons
86 BILLION NEURONS
Neurons communicate through electrical and chemical signals. The specific properties of the neurons composing a brain area and their connections with neurons in other brain areas, define the function of a brain area (e.g. language, vision, movement).
Monitoring Neural Activity
THEY CAN RECORD ELECTRICAL SIGNALS
There are different ways to record and monitor neural activity. Their solution is to provide electrodes that are placed on top of or within the brain and capture the activity of a group of neurons located underneath/around each contact. The signals recorded are called intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) or electrocorticography (ECoG) signals. The shape, amplitude and frequency of these electrical signals provide a readout of the activity of that brain area.
Monitoring Neurological Disorders
Neurological diseases may be associated with disturbances in neural activity and connectivity between brain areas. The changes in the shape, amplitude and frequency of recorded electrical signals may be used to identify areas with altered activity.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is the disease associated with spontaneously recurring seizures. A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain. It can cause changes in behavior, movements or feelings, and in levels of consciousness. There are different types of seizures and their characterization and classification helps guide the treatment.
There are more than twenty seven FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of seizures. However, in ~1/3 of the patient’s medication fails to control their seizures. These patients are candidates for surgical options.
Evo® Cortical Electrode
Cortical or subdural electrodes are used in electrocorticography (ECoG) or intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) surgeries to monitor, record and stimulate the surface of the brain for up to 30 days. The company’s Evo cortical electrode portfolio consists of various contact configurations of strip and grid electrodes. (Rx only)
The Evo Advantage
Decreased Immunological Response – The Evo Electrode is over 7 times thinner than a silicone electrode. The flexibility and reduced volume should reduce pain and edema.
The Evo’s polyimide substrate has properties like increased flexibility, reduced volume, and decreased immunological response, which should reduce signal artifacts.
Single Tail Design – The single thin tail design allows the implanted electrode tail to be tunneled through one incision which should reduce infection risk and procedure time.
Reduced Cable Management – A disposable cable assembly is sent with each Evo Electrode as an electrode kit, removing the need to source the correct cables for each electrode being used in surgery. Also, hospital resources are freed from the management of sterilizing and storing individual electrode cable assemblies.
How NeuroOne’s Thin Film Electrode Technology is Different
In comparison to currently available technologies, our electrodes are manufactured with polyimide thin film. Our electrodes are designed to reduce trauma to the brain by allowing a less invasive implant due to the flexibility, thinness and reduced weight of the electrode.
Furthermore, the potential to significantly increase the resolution of brain recordings may enable the usage of powerful computing techniques, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Caution: US Federal law restricts this device to sell by or on the order of a physician
Two FDA-Cleared Devices and Counting
Are you beginning to understand that NeuroOne is not just “another” MedTech company? In fact, their Evo Cortical and sEEG Electrodes are both FDA approved!
What they are doing right now has incredible implications for the future of the medical industry.
So much so that the technologies below could be commonplace and in wide use across the globe.
