EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to deregister certain securities issuable under the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which were registered by the Company on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-170301) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 3, 2010 (the “Registration Statement”).
 
The Company has adopted a new equity incentive plan, the SANUWAVE Health, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which replaces the 2006 Plan.  As of August 7, 2024, the date the Company’s stockholders approved the 2024 Plan (the “Effective Date”), no new awards may be granted under the 2006 Plan.  According to the terms of the 2024 Plan, the 50,728 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), that remained available for issuance under the 2006 Plan and were not subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2006 Plan as of the Effective Date (the “Prior Shares”) will not be available for issuance under the 2024 Plan. Therefore, in accordance with the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement, the Company hereby deregisters the Prior Shares, which have not been, and will not be, issued and sold under the 2006 Plan. The Registration Statement will remain in effect to cover the potential issuance of shares under the 2006 Plan pursuant to the terms of the awards that were outstanding under the 2006 Plan on the Effective Date.
 
Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Company is filing a new registration statement on Form S-8 to register (a) 1,376,556 shares of Common Stock available to be issued and sold pursuant to the 2024 Plan, and (b) up to 42,605 shares of Common Stock which were subject to outstanding awards under the 2006 Plan as of the Effective Date and will be available for issuance for future awards under the 2024 Plan to the extent that, on or after the Effective Date, such awards are forfeited, cancelled, settled, paid in cash, or expire before being exercised or settled in full.
