Surgalign reached a market cap of $180M in May 2019. They posted $117M in gross sales in 2019. Four years later, Xtant purchases their hardware assets for $5M, so they can focus on software.
Surgalign must find a way to survive with their new Holo AI Technology.
Holo has little sales so far, but represents a huge asset to Surgalign because its is the only FDA approved AI/AR spine technology in the world. It’s early. It does not mean much yet, but “first mover advantage” can be huge in spine.
Ever if Surgalign cannot make a viable business with HOLO, acquirers will line up to purchase the HOLO tech and FDA clearances.
Will this pivot work ?

(“Xtant”) for $5.0 million. The sale will be effectuated through the chapter 11 proceedings initiated by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, who elected to file voluntary petitions under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.
As part of the chapter 11 proceedings, the Company also filed a motion seeking authorization to pursue an auction and sale process under section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code pursuant to which Xtant will be designated as the stalking horse bidder.
