Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (this “Amendment” or “Amendment No. 1”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 originally filed on April 30, 2025 (the “Original Filing”) by INVO Fertility, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“INVO,” the” Company,” “we,” or “us”). We are filing this Amendment to include a copy of our Clawback Policy in the exhibits as well as the required related disclosure in Part III, Item 10 – Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance. Part III, Item 10 is also being amended to include disclosure on our Insider Trading Policy in accordance with Item 408(b) of Regulation S-K.

 

In addition, Item 15 of Part IV is being amended to include our Clawback Policy and currently dated certifications in accordance with Rule 13a-13(a) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 omitted, since no financial statements are contained within this Amendment. Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment, the Company is not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any disclosures with respect to Items 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K.

 

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our Original Filing and our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K.

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions, legislative or regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and unforeseen events that may impair our ability to advance our clinical programs and raise additional financing. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Independence of the Board of Directors

 

The listing rules of Nasdaq require us to maintain a Board comprised of a majority of independent directors, as determined affirmatively by our Board. In addition, the Nasdaq listing rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees must be independent. Audit Committee members and Compensation Committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 and Rule 10C-1, respectively, under the Exchange Act. Under Nasdaq listing rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our Board, the director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities.

 

Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities, and determined that Trent Davis, Matthew Szot, Barbara Ryan, and Rebecca Messina representing four of our five directors, are independent under Nasdaq listing rules. Mr. Shum is not considered independent due to his position as our Chief Executive Officer.

 

In making these determinations, our Board considered the relationships that each nonemployee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including consulting relationships, family relationships, and the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.

 

Compensation Recovery and Clawback Policies

 

On October 2, 2023, our Board of Directors adopted a Clawback Policy to comply with the SEC Rule 10D-1 and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608. The Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive compensation from our current and former officers as defined in SEC Rule 10D-1 (“Covered Officers”) in the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement as specified in the Clawback Policy. Under the Clawback Policy, the Board may recoup from the Covered Officers erroneously awarded incentive compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which we are required to prepare a “covered” accounting restatement. The Clawback Policy is effective as of October 2, 2023.

 

On September 18, 2024, we determined that our previously issued financial statements needed to be restated as a result of an internal review of our previously issued financial statements, which review was prompted by comments issued by the staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) upon its review of our annual and quarterly reports filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (“Reports”). After review of the staff’s comments, discussions with the staff, and investigation and further analysis, we determined that, in recognizing a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability for our operating leases on our balance sheet, we incorrectly utilized the applicable federal rates as the discount rates for the valuation of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability, rather than our incremental borrowing rates. The impact of this error is limited to our assets and liabilities, and the error did not impact our revenue, results of operation, earnings (loss) per share, or net equity. The error did not result in any change to our business plan or operations and did not impact any regulatory requirements or management compensation.

 

On September 18, 2024, our Audit Committee, after considering the recommendations of management, concluded that our previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and June 30, 2021 (collectively, the “Previous Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon. We restate the Previous Financial Statements on November 19, 2024.

 

Our Compensation Committee conducted a recovery analysis under the Clawback Policy and determined that, due to the limited impact of the accounting error, the compensation received by our executives during the lookback period would have been the same as if it had calculated based on the restated financial statements. As stated above, the Previous Financial Statements were restated to correct the discount rates for the valuation of our right of use asset and corresponding lease liability. The impact of the restatement was limited to our assets and liabilities, and the restatement did not impact our revenue, results of operation, earnings (loss) per share, or net equity.

The Compensation Committee determined that the restatement had no impact on any financial reporting measure, our share price, or total shareholder return. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee determined that there were no payments required to be pursued under our Clawback Policy.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all employees including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The text of our Code of Conduct is posted in the “Investor Information—Corporate Governance” section of our website, www.invobio.com.

 

We intend to disclose on our website any amendments to, or waivers from, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that are required to be disclosed pursuant to the disclosure requirements of Item 5.05 of Form 8-K.

 

Insider Adoption or Termination of Trading Arrangements

 

During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024, none of our directors or officers informed us of the adoption, modification, or termination of a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

 

Insider Trading Policy

 

We have adopted an Insider Trading Policy that governs the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers, and employees. The Insider Trading Policy is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to us.

 

Grants Made Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information

 

We do not have any policies and practices on the timing of awards of stock options or other equity grants in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information. In 2024, we did not award any stock options or other equity grants to any executive officer in the period beginning four business days before the filing of any periodic report on Form 10-Q or 10-K or the filing or furnishing of a current report on Form 8-K that disclosed material non-public information and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report.

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors to file with the SEC reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 and Form 5. Officers and directors are required by Commission regulations to furnish to us copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, to our knowledge all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers and directors were timely filed during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, except that Daniel Teper and Lyn Falconio did not file Form 3s.
