One of the Company’s directors, Dr. Ted Wang, is the founder, general partner and Chief Investment Officer of Puissance Capital Management LP, or Puissance Capital, which is an affiliate of Puissance Cross-Border Opportunities II LLC, one of the Company’s largest stockholders. Prior to Dr. Wang’s appointment to the Board in connection with the Rights Offering in September 2017, the Company entered into a one-year consulting agreement with Angel Pond Capital LLC, or Angel Pond, an entity solely owned and managed by Dr. Wang and affiliated with Puissance Capital. Angel Pond assists the Company with strategic positioning in the Asia Pacific region, including the introduction to potential strategic and capital partners and the development of strategic partnerships for the sale and manufacture of the Company’s products in that market. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company made aggregate payments of $2,195 to Angel Pond, representing consulting services for one year.  These fees were recognized ratably to expense over the one-year period, resulting in $1,075 expense charged to general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company made additional aggregate payments of $90 to Angel Pond and an additional $30 during the year ended December 31, 2019 in connection with consulting services provided by Angel Pond, which were expensed in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

In connection with the consulting agreement with Angel Pond, the Company is required to make a payment of $1,000 to Angel Pond when the China JV is consummated. This amount has not yet been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the joint venture has not successfully completed registration in China and therefore has not achieved consummation.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold EksoVest raw material inventory and tooling to the China JV for
$14.
