accomplish our mission of addressing upper limb paralysis with our
proprietary life-changing technology," said Gudonis. "In commemorating
our IPO, we acknowledge our broad stakeholder community, including 'Jay
Jay,' who has successfully regained mobility, and Jessica, who has
returned to the workforce and serves as a peer mentor to other young
victims of stroke. We also acknowledge the NYSE, in conjunction with the
Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, for paving the way for small
growth companies such as ours to raise capital. We look forward to
continuing to execute our growth agenda and returning value to our
shareholders."
