EXPLANATORY NOTE

TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION STATEMENTS

AND

DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

Sonendo, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing these post-effective amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”) to the following Registration Statements on Forms S-8 (the “Registration Statements”), which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to deregister any and all of the Company’s securities registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under each such Registration Statement as of the date hereof (note that the number of securities listed as being registered pursuant to each Registration Statement listed below does not take into account corporate actions, such as stock splits, taken in the interim):

•

Registration Statement No. 333-260680, filed with the SEC on November 2, 2021, registering an original, aggregate of 6,477,589 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable under the Company’s 2007 Stock Plan, 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, 2021 Incentive Award Plan, and 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan;

•

Registration Statement No. 333-263803, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2022, registering an additional, aggregate of 1,577,390 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan and 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan;

•

Registration Statement No. 333-270367, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2023, registering an additional, aggregate of 2,998,456 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan and 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan;

•

Registration Statement No. 333-270368, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2023, registering an original 750,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company’s 2023 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan;

•

Registration Statement No. 333-277817, filed with the SEC on March 11, 2024, registering an additional, aggregate of 3,812,847 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan and 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and

•

Registration Statement No. 333-279931, filed with the SEC on June 4, 2024, registering an additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company’s 2023 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan.

On April 11, 2024, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (the “NYSE) filed a Form 25 with the SEC to complete the delisting of the Common Stock from the NYSE. The Company thereafter traded on OTC Markets Group Inc.’s (“OTC”) OTCQX U.S. tier (the “OTCQX”). On February 7, 2025, the Company no longer met the continued listing requirements of the OTCQX, and therefore, the Common Stock was moved from the OTCQX to the OTC Pink market. The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to notify the SEC of its suspended reporting obligation under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on or about February 26, 2025.

As a result of the delisting and deregistration of the Company’s securities, the Company is terminating all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of these Post-Effective Amendments, any securities that had been registered but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby amends the Registration Statements to remove from registration all securities, as applicable, registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date of these Post-Effective Amendments.
