Future Outlook

• In addition to the healthcare channel, LogicMark also expects to continue growth in sales volume through its direct-to-consumer channel.
• The Company has switched from a reactive holistic personal safety perspective approach to capturing data to anticipate potential problems.
• We believe that our existing PERS and medical alert systems provide this silver tsunami of seniors seeking to continue living independently, the ability to stay safe, comfortable, and content in their own home.
• We plan to continue expanding our cell-based (mPERS) product line to provide a multi-layer safety support using CPaaS, LogicMarks Caring Platform as a Service, which allows us to integrate with various third-party connected and wearable devices so that we can better serve our customers whether they are at home or on-the-go.
• We want our products and services to be available for anyone with personal safety concerns, including children or students who are navigating new environments and social situations for the first time.

Industry Context

The PERS market is generally divided into direct-to-consumer and healthcare customer channels. The industry is experiencing growth due to demographic changes, new technologies, and trends in healthcare, such as the shift to at-home care and the rise of data and IoT.

Comparison to Industry Standards

• The PERS market is highly fragmented with many competitors, mostly privately held, who are solely dedicated to providing PERS.
• Other competitors, many of which are divisions of large publicly traded companies, offer PERS solutions in an effort to leverage their call center operations in place for other parts of their business.
• Competition is also found from companies in the healthcare, telecommunications and home and commercial security sectors.
• Competitors may have greater financial, technical, and personnel resources, broader distribution networks, a larger portfolio of intellectual property and customers.
• Success in acquiring new customers is dependent on a variety of factors, including brand and reputation, market visibility, service and product capabilities, quality, price, and the ability to identify and sell to prospective customers.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders face the risk of stock dilution and potential delisting from Nasdaq.
• Employees may be affected by cost reduction actions or changes in management.
• Customers may benefit from product innovation and expanded service offerings.
• Suppliers may be affected by changes in the company's supply chain or contract terms.
• Creditors face the risk of the company's ability to repay its debts.

Next Steps

• The company will continue to focus on product innovation and expanding its market position in PERS.
• LogicMark will pursue research and development partnerships to grow its product offering.
• The company will work to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.
• The company has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq hearings panel to appeal such determination and to address compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which hearing date has been set as April 29, 2025.
