The Six-Month Adjunctive Weight Reduction Therapy (SMART) Trial

This pivotal trial of the Obalon Balloon System is intended to generate safety and
effectiveness data required to support a future marketing application. The trial has been
designed to evaluate a 6-month use of the Obalon Balloon System as an adjunct to a nutrition
and lifestyle behavior modification program.

Weight loss will be evaluated after the 6-month course to determine if a specific predefined
superiority margin can be achieved in the device group compared to a sham-control group.
