Summary of the Corporate Actions

On August 24, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved, and on September 26, 2022, stockholders controlled by Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D., Vice Chairperson of the Board, holding a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of the Company, and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), of the Company, voting together as a single class (the “Majority Stockholders”), took action by written consent to approve a one-time stock option repricing (the “Option Repricing”) as described in more detail below. The Board believes that the Option Repricing is in the best interests of stockholders and the Company, as the Option Repricing is designed to continue to retain and motivate key contributors of the Company, which is necessary for the Company’s future success and growth in the value of its shares. Stock options held by Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D., Vice Chairperson of the Board, will not be repriced in the Option Repricing.

Pursuant to the Option Repricing, the exercise price of each Relevant Option (as defined below) will be amended to reduce such exercise price to the closing price per share of the Class A Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market on the date on which the Option Repricing becomes effective (the “Effective Date”). “Relevant Options” are (i) all stock options held by individuals employed by the Company and in good standing on the Effective Date, including executive officers of the Company, and (ii) certain stock options held by the Company’s Executive Chairperson and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, R. Scott Huennekens, and the Company’s director, Ruth Fattori. Other than the certain stock options held by Mr. Huennekens and Ms. Fattori described above, stock options held by the non-employee members of the Board will not be repriced in the Option Repricing. The Option Repricing will become effective on the 20th calendar day after the completion of the mailing to the Company’s stockholders of this Notice and Information Statement. The effective date is currently expected to be , 2022. In the event that the 20th calendar day is not a trading day for The Nasdaq Stock Market, the Option Repricing will become effective on the first trading day on The Nasdaq Stock Market thereafter. Participation in the Option Repricing is not voluntary or discretionary. Accordingly, the exercise price of each Relevant Option (vested or unvested) will be automatically amended, without any action required by the holder thereof. Under the Option Repricing, the exercise price of a Relevant Option will not be amended in a manner that increases the exercise price above the current exercise price.

Description of the Business Combination Completed in December 2021

On December 22, 2021, HealthCor Catalio Acquisition Corp., a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“HealthCor” and after the Business Combination described herein, the “Company”), after domesticating as a Delaware corporation on December 21, 2021, consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among HealthCor, Optimus Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of HealthCor (“Merger Sub I”), Optimus Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of HealthCor (“Merger Sub II”), Hyperfine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Hyperfine”), and Liminal Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Liminal”). On December 22, 2021, immediately upon the consummation of the Business Combination, and such completion, the “Closing” and such date, the “Closing Date”, Merger Sub I merged with and into Legacy Hyperfine (the “Hyperfine Merger”), with Hyperfine surviving the Hyperfine Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of HealthCor, and Merger Sub II merged with and into Liminal (the “Liminal Merger”), with Liminal surviving the Liminal Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of HealthCor. We refer to the Hyperfine Merger and the Liminal Merger as the “Mergers.” In addition, immediately prior to the Closing, HealthCor issued 12,610,000 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Investment”) to certain institutional investors and accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”). In connection with the Business Combination, HealthCor changed its name to “Hyperfine, Inc.,” Legacy Hyperfine changed its name to “Hyperfine Operations, Inc.” and Liminal changed its name to “Liminal Operations, Inc.” and subsequently to “Liminal Sciences, Inc.” Following the Closing, the Company’s Class A common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “HYPR”. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Information Statement to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Hyperfine, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Legacy Hyperfine and Liminal, as the case may be.

The total number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Closing was approximately 54,977,061 comprising (i) 29,711,224 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to Legacy Hyperfine stockholders (other than certain holders of Legacy Hyperfine Series A preferred stock); (ii) 3,459,081 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to Liminal stockholders (other than certain holders of Liminal Series A-1 preferred stock); (iii) 12,610,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Closing to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment; (iv) 5,639,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, including 5,025,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers (the “Effective Time”) to the initial shareholders of HealthCor upon conversion of the 5,025,000 shares of HealthCor Class B common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (following the issuance of the 5,175,000 shares of HealthCor Class B common stock upon the conversion of the 5,175,000 HealthCor Class B ordinary shares held by the initial shareholders and after reflecting the irrevocable forfeiture by HC Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) to HealthCor of 150,000 shares of HealthCor Class B common stock for no consideration and automatic cancellation as of immediately prior to the Closing) and 614,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the Sponsor; and (v) 3,557,756 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the Company’s public stockholders holding 3,557,756 HealthCor Class A ordinary shares outstanding at the Effective Time, after reflecting redemptions of 17,142,244 shares of HealthCor Class A common stock. Immediately following the Closing, Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D. held approximately 84.9% of the combined voting power of the Company. As of September 15, 2022, Dr. Rothberg held approximately 84.9% of the combined voting power of the Company. Accordingly, Dr. Rothberg and his permitted transferees control the Company and the Company is a controlled company within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. See the section below entitled, “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” for additional information about Dr. Rothberg’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, HealthCor agreed to all action within its power as may be necessary or appropriate such that, immediately after the Effective Time, (i) the Board would consist of up to nine directors, (ii) the members of the Board would include the one (1) individual designated by HealthCor and up to eight individuals designated by Dr. Rothberg pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (iii) the members of the Company’s compensation committee, audit committee and nominating and corporate governance committee would be the individuals designated to such roles by Legacy Hyperfine, Liminal and HealthCor pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and (iv) the individuals identified by Legacy Hyperfine, Liminal and HealthCor pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement would become the officers of the Company. In accordance with those provisions, effective as of the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the composition of the Board was changed. Each of Arthur Cohen,

Joseph Healey, Benjamin Snedeker, Dr. Kenan Turnacioglu, Michael Weinstein, Dr. Christopher Wolfgang and Taylor Harris resigned as directors of HealthCor effective as of the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing Date, Dr. Rothberg, Dave Scott, R. Scott Huennekens, John Dahldorf, Ruth Fattori, Maria Sainz and Daniel J. Wolterman were elected to serve as directors on the Board, with R. Scott Huennekens serving as Executive Chairperson of the Board. At the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders held on June 8, 2022, the Company’s stockholders reelected these directors to serve until the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified. Subsequently, Dave Scott resigned as the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and a director on the Board, effective July 29, 2022. R. Scott Huennekens is serving as the Company’s interim President and Chief Executive Officer.

Voting and Vote Required

Stockholder approval is required for the Option Repricing under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the terms of the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), the terms of the Legacy Hyperfine 2014 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Legacy Hyperfine Plan”) and the terms of the Liminal 2021 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Liminal Plan”, and collectively with the 2021 Plan and the Legacy Hyperfine Plan, the “Plans”). In accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Option Repricing may be approved, without a meeting of stockholders, by the written consent of stockholders representing a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class. Such approval was received by the Company from the Majority Stockholders by written consent dated September 26, 2022. As of such date, the Company had 55,515,532 shares of Class A Common Stock and 15,055,288 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to twenty (20) votes per share. The written consent was executed by stockholders holding 1,026,032 shares of Class A Common Stock and 15,055,288 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing approximately 84.7% of the voting power. Accordingly, the written consent was executed by stockholders holding sufficient voting power to approve the Option Repricing by written consent, no further stockholder action is required, and the Company is not seeking consent, authorizations or proxies from you. The DGCL does not provide appraisal rights with respect to the Option Repricing.

Notice Pursuant Delaware General Corporation Law

Pursuant to Section 228(e) of the DGCL, the Company is required to provide prompt notice of the taking of a corporate action by written consent to the Company’s stockholders who have not consented in writing to such action. This Information Statement serves as the required notice.

APPROVAL OF A ONE-TIME OPTION REPRICING PROGRAM

On August 24, 2022, the Board of Directors approved, and on September 26, 2022 the Majority Stockholders approved by written consent, the Option Repricing, under which all Relevant Options will be amended to reduce their exercise price, as described below.

Introduction

The Company maintains the Plans for the benefit of directors, employees and certain consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The purpose of the Plans is to encourage ownership of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock by employees, directors and consultants in order to attract and retain such people, to induce them to work for the benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries and to provide additional incentive for them to promote the success of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company has granted stock options under the Plans consistent with the view that stock-based incentive compensation opportunities play a key role in the Company’s ability to recruit, motivate and retain qualified individuals. While the Company’s compensation packages generally include a number of different components, the Company believes that equity compensation is key to linking pay to performance as it encourages employees to work toward the Company’s success and aligns their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders by providing them with a means by which they can benefit from increasing the value of the Company’s stock.

As of August 24, 2022, all of the Relevant Options had exercise prices at or above the recent closing prices of our Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market. As of August 24, 2022, the closing price of our Class A Common Stock was $1.23 and the weighted average exercise price of the Relevant Options was $3.57. Although the Company continues to believe that stock options are an important component of the Company’s compensation program, the underwater stock options may be perceived by their holders as having little or no incentive and retention effect due to the difference between the exercise prices and the current stock price.

The Board believes that the Option Repricing, as designed, is in the best interests of stockholders and the Company, as the repriced stock options will restore the incentive and retentive benefit of the affected stock options, and reduce the need to grant additional equity incentives, which would deplete the available share reserve under the 2021 Plan, or to award additional cash incentives, which could put an undue strain on the Company’s cash resources.

Summary of Material Terms of Option Repricing

Pursuant to the approved Option Repricing, the exercise price of each Relevant Option will be amended to reduce such exercise price to the closing price per share of the Class A Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market on the effective date of the Option Repricing. The Option Repricing will become effective on the 20th calendar day after the completion of the mailing to the Company’s stockholders of this Notice and Information Statement. The effective date is currently expected to be , 2022. In the event that the 20th calendar day is not a trading day for The Nasdaq Stock Market, the Option Repricing will become effective on the first trading day of The Nasdaq Stock Market thereafter. Participation in the Option Repricing is not voluntary or discretionary. Accordingly, the exercise price of (i) all outstanding stock options held by individuals employed by the Company and in good standing on the effective date of the Option Repricing, including executive officers of the Company and (ii) certain outstanding stock options held by the Company’s Executive Chairperson and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, R. Scott Huennekens, and the Company’s director, Ruth Fattori, (vested or unvested) granted under the Plans, will be automatically amended as described above, without any action required by the holder thereof.

As of August 24, 2022, an aggregate of 8,580,999 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $3.34 were outstanding under the Plans, and held by 240 employees, directors and consultants. Of these options, 5,496,799 (approximately 64%)—with a weighted average exercise price of $3.57 and held by 176 employees, directors and consultants—are Relevant Options and eligible for amendment pursuant to the Option Repricing. All of the Relevant Options were granted under the Plans. In addition, as of August 24, 2022, there was an aggregate of 2,036,917 restricted stock units outstanding held by 180 employees, directors and consultants. Under the Option Repricing, the exercise price of a Relevant Option will not be amended in a manner that increases the exercise price

above the current exercise price. No additional stock options will be granted by the Company in connection with the Option Repricing. Except for the reduction in the exercise price of the Relevant Options described above, all outstanding stock options under the 2021 Plan, Legacy Hyperfine Plan and Liminal Plan will continue to remain outstanding in accordance with all of the current terms and conditions set forth in the applicable plan and the applicable award agreements.

Accounting Treatment of the Option Repricing

Under Financial Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, the Company will recognize any incremental compensation cost of the Relevant Options subject to the Option Repricing. The incremental compensation cost will be measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Relevant Options immediately following the Option Repricing over the fair value of the Relevant Options immediately prior to the Option Repricing. The Company does not expect that the Option Repricing will have a material impact on its statement of operations.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is intended only as a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Option Repricing, based upon the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as of the date of this Information Statement. It is not intended as tax guidance to participants in the Plans. This summary does not take into account certain circumstances that may change the income tax treatment of awards for individual participants, and it does not describe the consequences under any other federal tax law (such as employment taxes), state income tax consequences of any award or the taxation of awards in jurisdictions outside of the United States.

For income tax purposes, the repricing of an option is treated as a new option granted as of the effective date of the repricing. The grant of a stock option generally has no income tax consequences for a participant or the Company. Likewise, the exercise of an incentive stock option generally does not have income tax consequences for a participant or the Company, except that it may result in an item of adjustment for alternative minimum tax purposes for the participant. For purposes of applying Section 422(d) of the Code, which generally provides an incentive stock option may only become exercisable for the first time in a single calendar year to the extent of $100,000 (based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant), the prior option and the repriced option shall be treated as two separate options, and the exercisability of both options shall be applied against the $100,000 annual limit. A participant usually recognizes ordinary income upon the exercise of a nonqualified stock option equal to the fair market value of the shares or cash payable (without regard to income or employment tax withholding) minus the exercise price, if applicable. We should generally be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant as a result of the exercise of a nonqualified stock option.

If a participant holds the shares acquired under an incentive stock option for the time specified in the Code (at least two years measured from the grant date and one year measured from the exercise date), any gain or loss arising from a subsequent disposition of the shares will be taxed as long-term capital gain or loss. If the shares are disposed of before the holding period is satisfied, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the lesser of (i) the amount realized upon the disposition, and (ii) the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise minus the exercise price paid for the shares. Any ordinary income recognized by the participant on the disqualifying disposition of the shares generally entitles us to a deduction by us for federal income tax purposes. Any disposition of shares acquired under a nonqualified stock option will generally result only in capital gain or loss for the participant, which may be short- or long-term, depending upon the holding period for the shares. For a repriced option, the two-year holding period measured from the grant date is reset to the effective date of the repricing.

Except as explained below, the Company generally is entitled to a deduction equal to the amount included in the ordinary income of participants and does not receive a deduction for amounts that are taxable to participants as capital gain. The Code denies publicly held corporations a deduction for compensation that is in excess of $1,000,000 paid to the corporation’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and to any of its three other most highly compensated executive officers.

Section 409A of the Code provides special tax rules applicable to programs that provide for a deferral of compensation. Failure to comply with those requirements will result in accelerated recognition of U.S. federal

income tax purposes along with an additional tax equal to 20% of the amount included in U.S. federal income, and interest on deemed underpayments in certain circumstances. While certain awards under the Plans could be subject to Section 409A, the Plans and the awards made under the Plans are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, where applicable.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

The Hyperfine Board adopted the 2021 Plan in July 2021, and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Plan in December 2021. The 2021 Plan allows for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock or cash-based awards to employees, consultants and directors who, in the opinion of the plan administrator, are in a position to make a significant contribution to the Company’s long-term success. All employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to participate in the 2021 Plan. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company and its affiliates. All other awards under the 2021 Plan may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates.

In accordance with the terms of the 2021 Plan, the Board may authorize the Company’s compensation committee to administer the 2021 Plan. The compensation committee may delegate part of its authority and powers under the 2021 Plan to one or more Hyperfine directors and/or officers, but only the compensation committee can make awards to participants who are subject to the reporting and other requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In accordance with the provisions of the 2021 Plan, the plan administrator determines the terms of awards, including which employees, directors and consultants will be granted awards, the number of shares subject to each award, the vesting provisions of each award, the termination or cancellation provisions applicable to awards, and all other terms and conditions upon which each award may be granted in accordance with the 2021 Plan. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Plan, the plan administrator may, in its discretion, amend any term or condition of an outstanding award.

Upon a merger or other reorganization event, the Board may, in its sole discretion, take any one or more of the following actions pursuant to the 2021 Plan, as to some or all outstanding awards: (1) provide that all outstanding options shall be assumed or substituted by the successor corporation; (ii) upon written notice to a participant provide that the participant’s unexercised options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction unless exercised by the participant; (iii) in the event of a merger pursuant to which holders of Hyperfine common stock will receive a cash payment for each share surrendered in the merger, make or provide for a cash payment to option holder participants equal to the difference between the merger price times the number of shares of Hyperfine common stock subject to such outstanding options, and the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding options, in exchange for the termination of such options; (iv) with respect to other stock awards, provide that outstanding awards shall be assumed or substituted by the successor corporation, become realizable or deliverable, or restrictions applicable to an award will lapse, in whole or in part, prior to or upon the merger or reorganization event; and (v) with respect to stock awards, and in lieu of any of the foregoing, provide that, upon consummation of the transaction, each outstanding stock award shall be terminated in exchange for payment of an amount equal to the consideration payable upon consummation of such transaction to a holder of the number of shares of common stock comprising such award (to the extent such stock grant is no longer subject to any forfeiture or repurchase rights then in effect or, at the discretion of the board of directors or an authorized committee, all forfeiture and repurchase rights being waived upon such transaction).

The 2021 Plan may be amended by the Company’s stockholders. It may also be amended by the Board or the compensation committee, provided that any amendment which is of a scope that requires stockholder approval as required by (i) the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, (ii) in order to ensure favorable federal income tax treatment for any incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, or (iii) for any other reason, is subject to obtaining such stockholder approval. However, no such action may adversely affect any rights under any outstanding award without the holder’s consent unless such amendment is required by applicable law or necessary to preserve the economic value of such award.

Legacy Hyperfine 2014 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan and Liminal 2021 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan

The Legacy Hyperfine board of directors adopted, and Legacy Hyperfine’s stockholders approved, the Legacy Hyperfine Plan in February 2014. The Legacy Hyperfine Plan has been periodically amended, most recently in April 2021 in order to increase the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the Legacy Hyperfine Plan. In May 2021, the Liminal board of directors adopted, and Liminal’s stockholders approved, the Liminal Plan. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company assumed the Legacy Hyperfine Plan and the Liminal Plan, and all outstanding awards issued thereunder remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Legacy Hyperfine Plan or the Liminal Plan, as applicable.

The Hyperfine Board, or any committee to which the Hyperfine Board delegates authority, is authorized to administer the Legacy Hyperfine Plan and the Liminal Plan. In addition, consistent with the terms of the Legacy Hyperfine Plan and the Liminal Plan, the Board may modify or amend outstanding awards, or accept the surrender of outstanding awards and substitute new awards, accelerate the time(s) at which an award may vest or be exercised, and construe and interpret the terms of the Legacy Hyperfine Plan, the Liminal Plan and awards granted thereunder.

The Legacy Hyperfine Plan and the Liminal Plan each provide that upon a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the company, the Board or any committee to which the Board delegates authority, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming the obligations under the Legacy Hyperfine Plan or the Liminal Plan, may, in its sole discretion, take any one or more of the following actions pursuant to the Legacy Hyperfine Plan or the Liminal Plan, as to some or all outstanding awards, to the extent not otherwise agreed under any individual agreement: (i) provide that outstanding options will be assumed or substituted for options of the successor corporation; (ii) provide that the outstanding options must be exercised within a certain number of days, either to the extent the options are then exercisable, or at the discretion of the board of directors, any such options being made partially or fully exercisable; (iii) terminate outstanding options in exchange for a cash payment of an amount equal to the difference between (a) the consideration payable upon consummation of the corporate transaction to a holder of the number of shares into which such option would have been exercisable to the extent then exercisable, or at the discretion of the board of directors, any such options being made partially or fully exercisable, and (b) the aggregate exercise price of those options; (iv) provide that outstanding stock awards will be substituted for shares of the successor corporation or consideration payable with respect to our outstanding stock in connection with the corporate transaction; and (v) terminate outstanding stock awards in exchange for payment of an amount equal to the consideration payable upon consummation of the corporate transaction to a holder of the same number of shares comprising the stock award, to the extent the stock award is no longer subject to vesting or forfeiture, or at the discretion of the board of directors, all vesting and forfeiture provisions being waived upon the corporate transaction. For purposes of determining such payments, in the case of a corporate transaction the consideration for which, in whole or in part, is other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be valued at the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board.

The Legacy Hyperfine Plan may be amended by the Company’s stockholders. It may also be amended by the Board or the compensation committee, provided that any amendment which is of a scope that requires stockholder approval as required by (i) the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, (ii) in order to ensure favorable federal income tax treatment for any incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, or (iii) for any other reason, is subject to obtaining such stockholder approval. However, no such action may adversely affect any rights under any outstanding award without the holder’s consent.

The Liminal Plan may be amended by the Company’s stockholders. It may also be amended by the Board or the compensation committee, provided that any amendment which is of a scope that requires stockholder approval as required by (i) the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, (ii) in order to ensure favorable federal income tax treatment for any incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, or (iii) for any other reason, is subject to obtaining such stockholder approval.

Introduction

Executive and Director Compensation of HealthCor

The following disclosure concerns the compensation of HealthCor’s executive officers and directors from inception (i.e. pre-Business Combination).

None of HealthCor’s executive officers or directors received any cash compensation for services rendered to HealthCor. Since the consummation of HealthCor’s initial public offering and until the earlier of the consummation of the initial business combination or HealthCor’s liquidation, HealthCor agreed to reimburse its sponsor, HC Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), for office space and secretarial and administrative services provided to HealthCor, in an amount up to $10,000 per month. In addition, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates were reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities conducted on HealthCor’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. HealthCor’s audit committee was responsible for reviewing all payments made by HealthCor to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates on a quarterly basis. Any such payments prior to the Business Combination were made using funds held outside of the HealthCor’s trust account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, HealthCor did not have any additional controls in place for governing reimbursement payments to its directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of HealthCor and in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid by HealthCor to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of the Business Combination.

Prior to the completion of the Business Combination in December 2021, Legacy Hyperfine’s board of directors historically determined the compensation for the NEOs.

For 2021, the compensation program for the NEOs consisted of a base salary and incentive compensation delivered in the form of cash bonuses and time-based stock option awards, each as described below:

Legacy Hyperfine entered into an Offer Letter of Employment with Mr. Scott on April 25, 2021, as amended, to begin employment as Legacy Hyperfine’s President and Chief Executive Officer on May 24, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of his Offer Letter, Mr. Scott’s initial annual base salary was $400,000. Effective December 22, 2021, until his resignation that was effective July 29, 2022, Mr. Scott’s annual base salary was $750,000. Mr. Scott was eligible to receive a minimum discretionary bonus of $400,000 for 2021 based on the successful completion of the Company’s initial public offering or a business combination that results in the operating business of the Company becoming a publicly traded company and the attainment of other goals, objectives and performance metrics. Beginning in 2022, Mr. Scott was eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus with a target of 100% of Mr. Scott’s base salary and a cap of 200% of Mr. Scott’s base salary, provided that he was employed with Hyperfine through the scheduled date of payment of such bonus.

Pursuant to his Offer Letter, Mr. Scott received a one-time signing bonus of $1,500,000, with the first installment of $750,000 paid upon his start date and the second installment of $750,000 paid upon the six-month anniversary of his start date. If Mr. Scott was terminated by the Company for cause (as defined in his Offer Letter) or resigned without good reason (as defined in his Offer Letter) prior to the six-month anniversary of his start date, Mr. Scott would be required to repay the sign-on bonus. If Mr. Scott was terminated by the Company without cause or resigned with good reason, he would not be required to repay the sign-on bonus.

In addition, pursuant to the Offer Letter, Mr. Scott was granted 1,899,500 time-based stock options with an exercise price of $3.27 per share, with 25% of the award vested on June 30, 2022, and the remainder of the options vesting in equal monthly installments over the following 36 months. If Mr. Scott’s employment was terminated because of his death, such options would vest such that no less than 50% of the shares subject to the award would be vested on the termination date.

Mr. Scott was also granted 474,875 performance-based stock options with an exercise price of $3.27 per share (the “1.5X Options”), which options vest upon the first to occur of: (1) the completion of a business combination that results in the operating business of Legacy Hyperfine and Liminal becoming a publicly traded company (a “SPAC transaction”) within two years of Mr. Scott’s start date and the Company’s common stock achieving a closing price per share of $15.00 or more for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days within two years of the closing of the SPAC transaction; (2) the completion of the initial public offering of Legacy Hyperfine and Liminal (“IPO”) within two years of Mr. Scott’s start date and the Company’s common stock achieving a closing price per share that equals or exceeds 1.5 times $3.92 (as adjusted) within two years of the closing of the IPO; or (3) the closing of a private financing round (a “Financing”) within two years of Mr. Scott’s start date in which $50 million or more is raised and the Company’s stock price per share equals or exceeds 1.5 times $3.92 (as adjusted).

In addition, Mr. Scott was granted 474,875 performance-based stock options with an exercise price of $3.27 per share, which options vest upon the first to occur of: (1) the completion of a SPAC transaction within two years of Mr. Scott’s start date and the Company’s common stock achieving a price per share of $30.00 or more for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days within four years of the closing of the SPAC transaction; (2) the completion of an IPO within two years of Mr. Scott’s start date and the Company’s common stock achieving a price per share that equals or exceeds 3.0 times $3.92 (as adjusted) within four years of the closing of the IPO; or (3) the closing of a private financing round within four years of Mr. Scott’s start date in which $50 million or more is raised and the Company’s stock price per share equals or exceeds 3.0 times $3.92 (as adjusted). Mr. Scott’s Offer Letter provided that, subject to approval by the board of directors, Mr. Scott would be granted 474,875 performance-based stock options (the “5X Options”), which options will vest upon the first to occur of: (1) the completion of a SPAC transaction within two years of Mr. Scott’s start date and the Company’s common stock achieving a price per share of $50.00 or more for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days within six years of the closing of the SPAC transaction; (2) the completion of an IPO within two years of Mr. Scott’s start date and the Company’s common stock achieving a price per share that equals or exceeds 5.0 times $3.92 (as adjusted) within six years of the closing of the IPO; or (3) the closing of a private financing round within six years of Mr. Scott’s start date in which $50 million or more is raised and Hyperfine’s stock price per share equals or exceeds 5.0 times $3.92 (as adjusted). In lieu of the 5X Options, on March 29, 2022, Mr. Scott was granted 474,875 options with an exercise price of $3.32 per share, which would vest in full on the five year anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Scott’s continued employment through the vesting date (the “5-year Options”).

Following the closing of a SPAC transaction or IPO within two years of Mr. Scott’s start date, Mr. Scott was entitled to receive a grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in the Company with a value of $2,500,000, subject to the approval of the board of directors, Mr. Scott’s continued service on the grant date and time-based vesting conditions. In the event a SPAC transaction or IPO had not occurred, Mr. Scott would have been awarded a transaction bonus of $2,500,000 for a successful financing round of Legacy Hyperfine of $50 million or more within two years of his start date.

Pursuant to the Offer Letter, if Mr. Scott’s employment was terminated without cause or if Mr. Scott resigned with good reason, Mr. Scott would receive severance equal to 12 months base salary and target bonus and payment of an amount equal to COBRA premiums for 12 months. He would receive 12 months accelerated vesting of outstanding time-based vesting equity awards (except for the 5-year Options), and any vested options, including options with performance-based vesting that have previously vested, would be eligible to be exercised until the earlier of the third anniversary of Mr. Scott’s termination of employment or their originally scheduled expiration date. Mr. Scott would also receive 36 months of accelerated vesting of any outstanding RSUs granted in connection with a SPAC transaction or IPO described above. If a SPAC transaction, IPO or Financing had not occurred and the Company terminated Mr. Scott’s employment within 24 months of his start date, Mr. Scott would receive $2,500,000 in lieu of the RSU grant described above.

If during the period beginning three months prior to and ending eighteen months following the date of a change in control, the Company terminated Mr. Scott’s employment without cause or if he resigned with good reason, Mr. Scott would receive severance equal to two times the sum of his base salary and target bonus, paid as a lump sum, plus payment of an amount equal to COBRA premiums for 24 months. He would receive 100% accelerated vesting for all time-based vesting equity awards and for the award of 474,875 performance-based stock options that includes the performance vesting criteria of a price per share that equals or exceeds 1.5 times $3.92 (as adjusted). The awards subject to such accelerated vesting would be eligible to be exercised until the earlier of the third anniversary of Mr. Scott’s termination of employment or their originally scheduled expiration date. In addition, if a SPAC transaction, IPO or financing round had not occurred and the Company terminated Mr. Scott’s employment without cause or Mr. Scott terminated his employment for good reason during a change in control period and within 36 months of his start date, Mr. Scott would receive $2,500,000 in lieu of the RSU grant described above.
