One of the Company’s directors, Dr. Ted Wang, is the founder, general partner and Chief Investment Officer of Puissance Capital Management LP (“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 September 2017, the Company entered into a one-year consulting agreement with Angel Pond Capital LLC (“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 six months ended June 30, 2019, Angel Pond provided consulting services amounting to $30, which was expensed in the condensed 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 a China joint venture is consummated in China. This amount has not yet been recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the joint venture has not successfully completed registration in China and therefore has not achieved consummation.
