`
`
`Pursuant to Rule 26(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Defendant
`ReShape Medical, Inc. (“ReShape Medical”) provides the following initial disclosures.
`These initial disclosures are based on information reasonably available to ReShape
`Medical at this time. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(e), ReShape
`Medical reserves the right to supplement or amend its disclosures as additional
`information becomes available to it. ReShape Medical further reserves any applicable
`privileges that may apply to this disclosure and any further supplemental disclosures
`or other pre-trial discovery,
`including attorney-client, work product, and
`investigational privileges.
`A.
`Persons Having Relevant Knowledge Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A)
`Based on the allegations presented in Fulfillium, Inc.’s Amended Complaint and
`the current status of ReShape Medical’s investigation, ReShape Medical believes the
`following persons have knowledge of facts relevant to this action. ReShape Medical
`anticipates that other persons may also have discoverable information and expressly
`reserves the right to identify additional persons as discovery proceeds. For example,
`ReShape Medical anticipates identifying persons potentially having knowledge of prior
`art patents, publications, inventions, or other activities, and will supplement this
`disclosure as appropriate. This disclosure is submitted with the understanding that a
`variance may exist in the level of knowledge and information held by the persons
`identified.
`Based on information presently available to it, ReShape Medical identifies the
`persons listed below as potentially having non-privileged knowledge relevant to this
`action. ReShape Medical expressly reserves the right to supplement this list of

`the discovery, authenticity, relevance, or admission of the documents or categories of
`documents disclosed herein.

`ReShape Medical seeks reimbursement of all costs and expenses, including
`reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred as a result of this action. Such costs and expenses
`continue to accrue, and therefore an exact computation thereof cannot be performed at

`26(a)(1)(A)
`Based on the information available to it regarding Fulfillium, Inc.’s claims at this

`relevant information will be disclosed to Fulfillium, Inc.
