Envoy Medical Announces Settlement Contract

WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minn., Oct. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Envoy Medical®, Inc. (NASDAQ: COCH), a hearing health company, today announced the settlement of an outstanding lawsuit filed by certain former shareholders of Envoy Medical Corporation (“EMC”), which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Envoy Medical, Inc.

In January 2020, EMC and the members of the EMC board of directors were sued by certain EMC shareholders in the District Court of Ramsey County, Minnesota. The lawsuit challenged certain financing transactions between EMC and Board member Glen Taylor. The members of the board of directors and Mr. Taylor defended against plaintiffs’ claims and asserted that the terms of the challenged transactions were in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.

Shortly after filing the lawsuit, two of the plaintiffs issued a press release that the board of directors believed contained false statements. The members of the board of directors asserted defamation counterclaims against those two plaintiffs.

The claims and counterclaims were resolved pursuant to a confidential settlement agreed to in August 2023. In connection with the settlement, the plaintiffs sold their EMC stock to an affiliate of Mr. Taylor.

About the Fully Implanted Acclaim® Cochlear Implant

Envoy Medical believes the fully implanted Acclaim® Cochlear Implant is a first-of-its-kind cochlear implant. Envoy Medical’s fully implanted technology includes a sensor designed to leverage the natural anatomy of the ear instead of a microphone to capture sound.

The Acclaim is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim will only be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician.

The Acclaim Cochlear Implant received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019. Envoy Medical believes that the Acclaim was the first hearing-focused device to receive Breakthrough Device Designation and may still be the only hearing focused medical technology to receive the designation.

CAUTION The fully implanted Acclaim Cochlear Implant is an investigational device. Limited by United States law to investigational use.
