Neuraxis ends Masimo license agreement and launches employee stock plan

Neuraxis, Inc. (NYSE American:NRXS), a $23 million market cap healthcare company with annual revenue of $2.93 million and impressive year-over-year growth of 27.5%, disclosed on Thursday that it has terminated its license and collaboration agreement with Masimo (NASDAQ:MASI) Corporation, originally established on April 9, 2020. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company faces profitability challenges but shows strong recent market performance. The agreement had granted Masimo exclusive, royalty-free rights to certain Neuraxis patents and trademarks related to the NSS-2 Bridge device, which is used for reducing symptoms of opioid withdrawal. Masimo marketed this product as the Masimo Bridge.

According to a press release statement, Neuraxis and Masimo entered into a termination agreement on July 1, 2025. Under the terms, Neuraxis will pay Masimo $200,000 in cash, split into two equal installments due on December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2026. InvestingPro data reveals the company is quickly burning through cash, making this payment schedule particularly significant for investors tracking its financial health. The payment covers products and assets, including the licensed trademark and associated patents. As a result of the termination, Neuraxis will no longer receive licensing payments or other revenue from the NSS-2 Bridge device.

Also on July 1, 2025, the company’s compensation committee adopted the Neuraxis, Inc. 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The plan, which became effective immediately, allows eligible employees to purchase shares of Neuraxis common stock at a 15% discount through payroll deductions. The plan authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000 shares, with an annual increase each January 1 from 2026 to 2035 by the lesser of 1% of outstanding capital stock or 100,000 shares. The board of directors may reduce or eliminate this annual increase before February 1 of any given year.

The employee stock purchase plan is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Offering periods may last up to 27 months, with terms determined by the plan administrator. The plan requires stockholder approval within 12 months of July 1, 2025. With the stock currently trading at $2.60 and showing strong momentum over the past three months, InvestingPro analysis suggests the shares are slightly overvalued at current levels.
