| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
Representatives of ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (the
“Company” or “ReShape”) and Vyome Therapeutics, Inc. (“Vyome”) intend to make presentations at
investor conferences and in other forums, and these presentations may include the information contained in Exhibit 99.1 attached
to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the presentation slides containing such information that may be disclosed by the Company
is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, and the information set forth therein is incorporated herein by reference and constitutes
a part of this report.
The Company is furnishing the information contained
in Exhibit 99.1 pursuant to Regulation FD and Item 7.01 of Form 8-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
This information shall not be deemed to be “filed” with the SEC for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed
to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set
forth by specific reference in such filing.
The information contained in Exhibit 99.1
is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Company’s SEC filings and other public announcements
that the Company may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly
update or revise the information contained in Exhibit 99.1, although it may do so from time to time as its management believes is
warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through
other public disclosure. By filing this report and furnishing this information, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of
any information contained in this report, including Exhibit 99.1.
Additional Information
In connection with the proposed merger with Vyome
(the “Merger”) and sale of assets to Ninjour Health International Limited, an affiliate of Biorad Medisys Pvt. Ltd. (the “Asset
Sale”), ReShape filed with the SEC on June 24, 2025 and mailed or otherwise provided to its stockholders the joint proxy statement/prospectus
(the “joint proxy statement/prospectus”) and other relevant documents in connection with the proposed Merger and Asset Sale.
Before making a voting decision, ReShape’s stockholders are urged to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus and any other documents
filed by ReShape with the SEC in connection with the proposed Merger and Asset Sale or incorporated by reference therein carefully and
in their entirety because they contain important information about ReShape, Vyome and the proposed transactions. Investors and stockholders
may obtain a free copy of these materials and other documents filed by ReShape with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov,
at ReShape’s website at www.reshapelifesciences.com, or by sending a written request to ReShape at 18 Technology Drive, Suite 110, Irvine,
California 92618, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Participants in the Solicitation
This document does not constitute a solicitation
of proxy, an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of ReShape and its directors, executive officers and
certain other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in soliciting proxies from its stockholders in connection
with the proposed Merger and Asset Sale. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be considered to
be participants in the solicitation of ReShape’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Merger and Asset Sale are set forth
in the joint proxy statement/prospectus. Security holders may obtain information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of ReShape’s
directors and officers in ReShape’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was
filed with the SEC on April 4, 2025. To the extent the holdings of ReShape securities by ReShape’s directors and executive
officers have changed since the amounts set forth in ReShape’s proxy statement for its most recent annual meeting of stockholders,
such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Additional information
regarding these individuals and any direct or indirect interests they may have in the proposed Merger and Asset Sale is set forth in the
joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this filing may
be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements
regarding the Merger and Asset Sale and the ability to consummate the Merger and Asset Sale. These forward-looking statements generally
include statements that are predictive in nature and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and include words such as “believes,”
“plans,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,”
“strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “may,” “will,” “should,”
“could,” “potential,” or similar expressions. Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date they are made, and ReShape undertakes no obligation to update any of them publicly in light of new information
or future events. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement as a result of various
factors, including, without limitation: (1) ReShape may be unable to obtain stockholder approval as required for the proposed Merger
and Asset Sale; (2) conditions to the closing of the Merger or Asset Sale may not be satisfied; (3) the Merger and Asset Sale
may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; (4) ReShape’s business may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding
the Merger and Asset Sale; (5) the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the Merger or Asset Sale; (6) ReShape may be
adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (7) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances
that could give rise to the termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger or Asset Purchase Agreement; (8) the effect of the announcement
of the Merger and Asset Sale on the ability of ReShape to retain key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and
others with whom ReShape does business, or on ReShape’s operating results and business generally; and (9) other risks to consummation
of the Merger and Asset Sale, including the risk that the Merger and Asset Sale will not be consummated within the expected time period
or at all. Additional factors that may affect the future results of ReShape are set forth in its filings with the SEC, including ReShape’s
most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K
and other filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, specifically under the heading “Risk
Factors.” The risks and uncertainties described above and in ReShape’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K are not
exclusive and further information concerning ReShape and its business, including factors that potentially could materially affect its
business, financial condition or operating results, may emerge from time to time. Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully
in evaluating these forward-looking statements, and not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Readers should also
carefully review the risk factors described in other documents that ReShape files from time to time with the SEC. The forward-looking
statements in these materials speak only as of the date of these materials. Except as required by law, ReShape assumes no obligation to
update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available in the future.
