Allurion is Going Public

Why Now?

Today, Allurion Technologies took one more step toward fulfilling our mission to end obesity with the announcement of our plans to go public and be listed on the NYSE.

As part of this transaction, we are partnering with Compute Health Acquisition Corp., a SPAC chaired by Omar Ishrak, the former Chairman and CEO of Medtronic and former Chairman of Intel. We have also built a syndicate of investors that is led by RTW Investments, LP —a premier life science innovation fund—and includes a non-redemption agreement from Medtronic. With the announcement of this transaction and with these new partners around the table, we believe we can bring our vision of building a full-stack weight loss platform to life.

We started Allurion 13 years ago to revolutionize the weight loss space. With nearly 2 billion people around the world who are overweight and a global economic impact that amounts to roughly $2 trillion annually, it was clear that the available treatments simply were not cutting it. Unfortunately, the problem has only worsened, especially among children and adolescents. In the past four decades, there has been a tenfold increase in obesity in these two populations, suggesting that there may be no end in sight to an issue that is impacting healthcare systems and economies around the world.

That is precisely why the time is now for Allurion.

An Audacious Future

One of our core values is audacity. At Allurion, we have the audacity to believe that what we have developed over the last decade can fulfill our mission. With the step that we are taking today, we now set our sights on the future.

We intend to expand the experiences we offer to patients so that Allurion can serve the entire spectrum of BMI—from overweight to severe obesity. For providers who are looking to streamline their practice and improve outcomes, we intend to expand the scope and features of the Allurion Virtual Care Suite so that no matter the modality—drug, device, or surgery—providers and patients have access to Allurion’s remote patient monitoring and behavior change tools, powered by cutting edge artificial intelligence, machine learning, and millions of data points.

Over the next decade, I see an ecosystem forming where patients have access to a growing number of weight loss therapies—chief among them the Allurion Balloon which has already touched the lives of over 100,000 people around the world. But we believe that our software will be at the center of this ecosystem—surrounded by all these modalities—helping patients and providers navigate through the life-long journey of weight management.

To Our Partners: Thank You

When I reflect on the past decade, I am humbled by how many people have helped build Allurion, believed in our mission, and gave us a shot.

• To our patients and providers: our mission is to serve you, and our success is your success. We are touched by your stories and will never stop fighting to meet your needs.
• To our investors: thank you for believing in us and trusting us with your capital. Without you, we would not have been able to dream big.
• To Omar and the Compute team: you have believed in our mission from the beginning, and I believe this partnership will flourish. Omar, welcome to the Board of Directors—we are lucky to have you!
• To Allurions, past and present: your audacity, grit, authenticity, accountability, and commitment to being data-driven knows no bounds. This transaction is really a reflection of all the contributions you have made over the past decade to fulfilling our mission around the world.

For new and future Allurions, our journey is just beginning. We will build the future of weight loss together. Onward!
