Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to our business and financial outlook, which are based on our current beliefs, assumptions, expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this report, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative version of those terms and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

our future operations, sales, expenses, and financial performance;
our operating results;
our intentions, beliefs, and expectations regarding the anticipated benefits of the merger with SeaSpine Holdings Corporation ("SeaSpine"), including the anticipated synergies and cost-savings from the merger;
our plans for future products and enhancements of existing products;
anticipated growth and trends in our business;
the timing of and our ability to maintain and obtain regulatory clearances or approvals;
our belief that our cash and cash equivalents, investments, and access to our credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements;
our relationships with customers and distributors;
our manufacturing abilities and the performance of our suppliers;
our ability to achieve market penetration and the success of our expansion efforts;
anticipated trends and challenges in the markets in which we operate; and
the impact of investigations, claims, and litigation.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, estimates, and assumptions. Any or all forward-looking statements that we make may turn out to be wrong (due to inaccurate assumptions that we make or otherwise), and our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those set forth in Part I, Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 ("2023 10-K"); Part II, Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the 2023 10-K; and elsewhere throughout the 2023 10-K, and in our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") subsequent to the date we filed the 2023 10-K with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement in this report speaks only as of the date hereof, unless it is specifically otherwise stated to be made as of a different date. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update, and expressly disclaim any duty to update, our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of circumstances or events that arise after the date hereof, new information, or otherwise.

ORTHOFIX MEDICAL INC.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business and basis of presentation

Description of the Business

Orthofix Medical Inc. (the “Company” or "Orthofix") is a leading global spine and orthopedics company with a comprehensive portfolio of biologics, innovative spinal hardware, bone growth therapies, specialized orthopedic solutions, and a leading surgical navigation system. Its products are distributed in more than 60 countries worldwide.

The Company is headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, where it conducts general business, product development, medical education and manufacturing, and has primary offices in Carlsbad, CA, with a focus on spine and biologics product innovation and surgeon education, and Verona, Italy, with an emphasis on product innovation, production, and medical education for orthopedics. The combined company’s global research and development, commercial, and manufacturing footprint also includes facilities and offices in Irvine, CA, Toronto, Canada, Sunnyvale, CA, Maidenhead, UK, Munich, Germany, Paris, France, and São Paulo, Brazil.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2024.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition; contractual allowances; allowances for expected credit losses; inventories; valuation of intangible assets; goodwill; fair value measurements, including contingent consideration; litigation and contingent liabilities; tax matters; and share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. Recently adopted accounting standards, recently issued accounting pronouncements

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-03 - Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2022-03, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale and to introduce new disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2024, on a prospective basis. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations, or cash flows, but did modify the Company's disclosures related to certain investments. Refer to Note 7 for the Company's updated disclosures on investments in equity securities subject to capital sale restrictions.

Adoption of ASU 2023-07 - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which enhances and improves disclosures about operating segment's revenues, measures of profit/loss, and expenses to enable investors to better understand an entity's overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. The amendment requires that an entity disclose (i) significant expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), (ii) other segment items by reportable segment including a description of its composition, (iii) all annual disclosures required by Topic 280 in interim periods, (iv) additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and allocation of resources, and (v) title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2024, on a prospective basis. Refer to Note 11 for the Company's updated business segment disclosures.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09)

 

Enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and
prospects for future cash flows. The amendments are to be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted.

 

January 1, 2025

 

The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Other recently issued ASUs, excluding those ASUs which have already been disclosed as adopted or described above, were assessed and determined not applicable, or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Mergers and acquisitions

Merger with SeaSpine

On January 5, 2023, the Company and SeaSpine completed an all-stock merger of equals (the "Merger") to create a leading global spine and orthopedics company with highly complementary portfolios of biologics, innovative spinal hardware, bone growth therapies, specialized orthopedic solutions, and a leading surgical navigation system. As a result of the Merger, each share of SeaSpine common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into the right to receive 0.4163 shares of Orthofix common stock.

The Company recognized $0.1 million and $6.5 million in direct acquisition-related costs, which exclude integration-related activities, that were expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These costs are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, primarily within general and administrative expenses. The Company's results of operations included $70.5 million of net sales and a net loss of $14.3 million from SeaSpine for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $60.9 million of net sales and a net loss of $27.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Due to the completion of the Merger on January 5, 2023, all SeaSpine financial results for fiscal year 2023, except for the first four days of January, were included in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Therefore, the Company did not prepare unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, on the basis that the Merger was completed on January 1, 2023.

On January 10, 2024, the Company borrowed $15.0 million under its senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") as part of its Financing Agreement with Blue Torch Finance LLC. On March 22, 2024, the secured delayed draw term loan facility (the "Delayed Draw Term Loan") of $25.0 million was fully funded and the proceeds were used to repay the $15.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

11


 

The Financing Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum level of liquidity at all times, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (measured on a quarterly basis), and a minimum asset coverage ratio (measured on a monthly basis). As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants.

On March 15, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No.1 to the Financing Agreement with Blue Torch Finance LLC (the "First Amendment"). Under the terms of the First Amendment, the parties agreed to reduce the number of business days to submit a notice of borrowing for the Delayed Draw Term Loan, and redefine certain terms within the asset coverage financial covenant. The maturity date remains November 6, 2027, for each of the Initial Term Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan, and Revolving Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings on its available lines of credit in Italy, which provide up to an aggregate amount of €5.5 million ($5.9 million).

Neo Medical Convertible Loan Agreements and Equity Investment

Since October 2020, the Company has held preferred equity securities of Neo Medical SA, a privately held Swiss-based company developing a new generation of products for spinal surgery ("Neo Medical") and a Convertible Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Company loaned Neo Medical CHF 4.6 million, or $5.0 million, at the date of issuance (the “Convertible Loan”).

The preferred equity securities are recorded in other long-term assets and are considered an investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the Company measures this investment at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

The Company's equity investment with Neo Medical is subject to certain sales restrictions, such as right of first refusal, tag-along provisions, and drag-along provisions. Permitted transfers include (i) sales of shares to an affiliate of such shareholder, (ii) transfer of shares as part of a compensation package offered to employees, or (iii) Neo Medical may repurchase shares at a price no greater than that originally paid by the shareholder.

The table below presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s investment in Neo Medical preferred equity securities:

The Convertible Loan is recorded in other long-term assets as an available for sale debt security as of March 31, 2024. In April 2024, the Company and Neo Medical agreed to convert the Convertible Loan into shares of Neo Medical preferred equity securities, with such conversion occurring on April 19, 2024.

As such, the Company estimated the fair value of the Convertible Loan based upon the estimated fair value of equivalent preferred shares as of March 31, 2024. Therefore, as this fair value estimate is based upon a valuation method using observable market inputs, the Company has now classified this investment as a Level 2 financial asset. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Convertible Loans, which was measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs in 2023:

Other Investments

Other investments represent assets and investments recorded at fair value that are not deemed to be material for disclosure on an individual basis. The fair value of these assets is based upon significant unobservable inputs, such as probability-weighted discounted cash flow models, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Therefore, the Company has categorized these assets as Level 3 financial assets. As of March 31, 2024, this balance was classified within other current assets.

Lattus Contingent Consideration

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a contingent consideration obligation under a purchase agreement between SeaSpine and Lattus Spine LLC ("Lattus") executed in December 2022. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be required to make installment payments at certain dates based on future net sales of certain products (the "Lateral Products").

The estimated fair value of the Lattus contingent consideration is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and a discounted cash flow model requiring significant inputs which are not observable in the market. The significant inputs include assumptions related to the timing and probability of certain product launch dates, estimated future sales of the products, revenue risk-adjusted discount rate, revenue volatility, and discount rates matched to the timing of payments. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Lattus contingent consideration measured at estimated fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies policies

The Company records accruals for certain outstanding legal proceedings, investigations, or claims when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates developments in legal proceedings, investigations, and claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable on a quarterly basis. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not accrue the loss. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of the accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then the Company discloses a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such reasonable estimate can be made. If the Company cannot make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, then that is disclosed. In addition, legal fees and other directly related costs are expensed as incurred.

In addition to the matters described in the paragraphs below, in the normal course of its business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits from time to time and may be subject to certain other contingencies. The Company believes any losses related to these matters are individually and collectively immaterial as to a possible loss and range of loss.

Arbitration claims with former executives

In September 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the employment of Keith Valentine, John Bostjancic, and Patrick Keran, who had served respectively as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Legal Officer. The Board’s decision followed an investigation conducted by independent outside legal counsel and directed and overseen by the Company’s independent directors. As a result of the investigation, the Board determined that each of these executives engaged in repeated inappropriate and offensive conduct that violated multiple code of conduct requirements and was inconsistent with the Company’s values and culture. The Company notified each of Messrs. Valentine, Bostjancic, and Keran that their respective terminations were being made for “Cause,” as defined in applicable employment-related agreements (including each executive’s respective Change in Control and Severance Agreement, dated June 19, 2023). The Company also notified each of Messrs. Valentine, Bostjancic, and Keran that it did not believe it was required to make any further payments to them, other than payment of salary through September 12, 2023. The Board also requested that Mr. Valentine resign as a director, which he did in October 2023.

In January 2024, the Company received written notices of arbitration claims from counsel to Messrs. Valentine, Bostjancic, and Keran. Each of the arbitration claims asserts that the respective former executive was wrongfully terminated for “Cause” because the former executive’s conduct did not meet the contractually applicable definition of “Cause.” The claims seek relief for, among other things, alleged breach of contract, defamation, false light invasion of privacy, deceit, as well as indemnification and advancement for attorneys’ fees. The three former executives seek severance payments, as well as the value of forfeited equity grants, under applicable change in control and severance agreements and further damages as a result of purported defamatory statements. The Company disagrees with many of the assertions contained in the written notices of arbitration claims and intends to vigorously defend the asserted claims. Due in part to the preliminary nature of this matter, the Company currently cannot reasonably estimate a possible loss, or range of loss, that may arise from the arbitration claims.

Commitments

As a result of the Merger, the Company became party to agreements with certain distributor partners that provide the Company with an option to purchase, and an option for those partners to require the Company to purchase, the distribution business of those partners at specified future dates. At such time, the Company or distributor may (in certain cases, subject to satisfying certain conditions) submit written notice to the other of its intention to exercise its rights and initiate or require the purchase. Upon receipt of the written notice, the Company and the distributor will work in good faith to consummate the purchase. Under these agreements, the purchase price would be paid in shares of the Company's common stock. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock as of March 31, 2024, assuming the options under all the relevant agreements were exercised, the estimated total number of shares the Company would issue under these agreements was approximately 1.5 million shares for agreements that must be settled in shares of the Company's stock. The Company has received notification from one such distributor, who has notified the Company of its decision to exercise its buyout option. The Company is currently in negotiations with this distributor in regard to the consummation of the potential acquisition.

Italian Medical Device Payback (“IMDP”)

In 2015, the Italian Parliament introduced rules for entities that supply goods and services to the Italian National Healthcare System. A key provision of the law is a ‘payback’ measure, requiring medical device companies in Italy to make payments to the Italian government if medical device expenditures exceed regional maximum ceilings. Companies are required to make payments equal to a percentage of expenditures exceeding maximum regional caps.

14


 

In the third quarter of 2022, the Italian Ministry of Health provided guidelines to the Italian regions and provinces on seeking payback of expenditure overruns relating to the years ended December 31, 2015, through December 31, 2018. Since receiving the guidelines, several regions and provinces have requested payment from affected medical device companies, including the Company. The Company has taken legal action to dispute the legality of such measures.

The Company accounts for the estimated cost of the IMDP as sales and marketing expense and periodically reassesses the liability based upon current facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company recorded an expense of $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has accrued $7.7 million related to the IMDP, which it has classified within other long-term liabilities; however, the actual liability could be higher or lower than the amount accrued once all legal proceedings are resolved and upon further clarification of the IMDP by the Italian authorities for more recent fiscal years.

11. Business segment information

The Company's operations are managed through two reporting segments: Global Spine and Global Orthopedics. These reporting segments represent the operating segments for which the Chief Executive Officer, who is also the CODM, reviews financial information and makes resource allocation decisions among businesses. The primary metric used by the CODM in managing the Company is adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”, a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and excludes the impact of share-based compensation, gains and losses related to changes in foreign exchange rates, charges related to the SeaSpine merger and other strategic investments, acquisition-related fair value adjustments, gains and/or losses on investments, litigation and investigation charges, charges related to initial compliance with regulations set forth by the European Union Medical Device Regulation, and succession charges.

Corporate activities are comprised of operating expenses not directly identifiable within the two reporting segments, such as human resources, finance, legal, and information technology functions. The Company neither discretely allocates assets, other than goodwill, to its operating segments nor evaluates the operating segments using discrete asset information.

Global Spine

The Global Spine reporting segment offers two primary product categories: (i) Bone Growth Therapies and (ii) Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies.

The Bone Growth Therapies product category manufactures, distributes, sells, and provides support services for market leading devices used adjunctively in high-risk spinal fusion procedures and to treat both nonunion and acute fractures in the orthopedic space. These Class III medical devices are indicated as an adjunctive, noninvasive treatment to improve fusion success rates in the cervical and lumbar spine as well as a therapeutic treatment for non-spine acute and nonunion fractures. This product category uses distributors and a direct sales channel to sell its devices to hospitals, healthcare providers, and patients, in the U.S.

Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies is comprised of (i) a broad portfolio of spine fixation and motion preservation implant products used in surgical procedures of the spine, (ii) one of the most comprehensive biologics portfolios in both the demineralized bone matrix and cellular allograft market segments, and (iii) image-guided surgical solutions to facilitate degenerative, minimally invasive, and complex surgical procedures. Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies products are sold through a network of distributors and sales representatives to hospitals and healthcare providers on a global basis for Spinal Implants and Enabling Technologies, and primarily within the U.S. for Biologics.

Global Orthopedics

The Global Orthopedics reporting segment offers products and solutions for limb deformity correction and complex limb reconstruction with a focus on use in trauma, adult and pediatric limb reconstruction, and foot and ankle procedures. This reporting segment specializes in the design, development, and marketing of external and internal fixation orthopedic products that are coupled with enabling digital technologies to serve the complete patient treatment pathway. We sell these products through a global network of distributors and sales representatives to hospitals, healthcare organizations, and healthcare providers.

Corporate

Corporate activities are comprised of the operating expenses and activities of the Company not necessarily identifiable within the two reporting segments.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the equity awards of SeaSpine (including stock options and restricted stock units) outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were converted into equity awards denominated in shares of Orthofix common stock. The Company issued options to purchase 1.9 million shares of Orthofix common stock and 0.5 million shares of time-based vesting restricted stock in connection with the conversion of such awards. The estimated fair value of the portion of the SeaSpine equity awards for which the required service period had been completed at the time of the closing of the Merger was treated as purchase consideration. The remaining estimated fair value is recorded as compensation expense over the remainder of the service period associated with the awards.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company issued 0.2 million and 0.3 million shares, respectively, of common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises, and the vesting of restricted stock awards and units.

Inducement plans

During 2024, the Company appointed a new President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief People & Business Operations Officer, and Chief Legal Officer. As an inducement to accept employment with the Company, the individuals were awarded grants of (i) stock options, (ii) time-based restricted stock units, (iii) time-based cliff vesting restricted stock units, and (iv) performance stock units, valued in the aggregate across all award types at approximately $14.9 million.

14. Income taxes

Generally, income tax provisions for interim periods are based on an estimated annual income tax rate, adjusted for discrete tax items, with any changes affecting the estimated annual effective tax rate recorded in the interim period in which the change occurs. Due to the impact of losses not benefited by the Company’s U.S. and Italian operations, the Company determined the estimated annual effective tax rate method would not provide a reliable estimate of the Company’s overall annual effective tax rate. As such, the Company has calculated the tax provision using the actual effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Due to the impact of temporary differences on the U.S. current tax liability without any deferred tax benefit, the actual effective rate may vary in future quarters.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the effective tax rate was (2.4%) and (1.0%), respectively. The primary factors affecting the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were certain losses not benefited and tax amortization on certain acquired intangibles.

15. Earnings per share (“EPS”)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, no adjustments were made to net income for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in diluted EPS computations.

Global Spine

Global Spine offers the following product categories:

-
Bone Growth Therapies, which manufactures, distributes, sells, and provides support services for market-leading devices used adjunctively in high-risk spinal fusion procedures and treats both nonunion and acute fractures in the orthopedic space. Bone Growth Therapies uses distributors and a direct sales channel to sell its devices and provide associated support services to hospitals, healthcare providers, and patients in the U.S.
-
Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies is comprised of a broad portfolio of spine fixation and motion preservation implant products used in surgical procedures of the spine, which includes one of the most comprehensive biologics portfolios in both the demineralized bone matrix and cellular allograft market segments and image-guided surgical solutions to facilitate degenerative, minimally invasive, and complex surgical procedures. Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies products are sold through a network of distributors and sales representatives to hospitals and healthcare providers on a global basis for Spinal Implants and Enabling Technologies, primarily within the U.S. for Biologics.

Three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 2023

Net sales of $161.3 million, an increase of $12.1 million or 8.1%

Bone Growth Therapies net sales increased $4.8 million, or 10.0%, largely driven by (i) an increase in gross order volumes resulting from our continued investment in our direct sales channel for both the spine and fracture markets and (ii) continued growth and adoption of our AccelStim, which is used in the healing of fresh and nonunion fractures
Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies net sales increased $7.3 million, or 7.2%, primarily due to increased sales growth from new and existing high-volume distribution partners, particularly within Spinal Implants, which saw growth in each of our cervical, interbody, and thoracolumbar franchises Global Orthopedics offers products and solutions that allow physicians to successfully treat a variety of orthopedic conditions specifically related to limb reconstruction and deformity correction unrelated to the spine.

Global Orthopedics

Global Orthopedics distributes its products world-wide through a network of distributors and sales representatives to sell orthopedic products to hospitals and healthcare providers.

Three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 2023

Net sales of $27.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 5.1%

U.S. growth of $1.5 million or 22.9%, largely due to investments made in recent product launches, commercial execution within our sales channel, and from our comprehensive surgeon education program
International sales were flat compared to prior year due to healthcare provider strikes in the UK and timing of certain stocking distributors' orders
Increase of $0.3 million due to movement in foreign currency exchange rates, which had a favorable impact on net sales in 2024

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased $15.4 million

Favorable change in net loss of $24.9 million
Unfavorable change of $7.7 million associated with non-cash gains and losses, largely related to amortization of the inventory fair value step up recognized in the Merger, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, provisions for expected credit losses, and inventory reserve expenses
Unfavorable change of $1.8 million relating to changes in working capital accounts, primarily attributable to changes in inventories, accounts receivable, and other current liabilities

Two of our primary working capital accounts are accounts receivable and inventory. Days sales in receivables were 61 days at March 31, 2024, compared to 58 days at March 31, 2023 (calculated using first quarter net sales and ending accounts receivable). Inventory turns improved to 1.2 times as of March 31, 2024 compared to 0.7 times as of March 31, 2023.

Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities decreased $28.0 million

Decrease of $29.4 million attributable to cash acquired as a result of the Merger in 2023
Partially offset by a decrease in spend of $1.0 million in capital expenditures and $0.5 million in other investing activities in 2024 compared to 2023

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities increased $5.5 million

Increase of $6.9 million associated with net borrowing activities related to our credit facilities and from our assumption of SeaSpine's outstanding indebtedness at the time of the Merger
Partially offset by $1.5 million in debt issuance costs and other financing activities

Credit Facilities

On November 6, 2023, we entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Blue Torch Finance LLC and certain lenders party thereto. The Financing Agreement provides for a $100.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”), a $25.0 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”), each of which mature on November 6, 2027. As of March 31, 2024, we had $100.0 million outstanding under the Initial Term Loan and $25.0 million outstanding under the Delayed Draw Term Loan.

The Financing Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain a minimum level of liquidity at all times, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (measured on a quarterly basis), and a minimum asset coverage ratio (measured on a monthly basis). As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all required financial covenants.

On March 15, 2024, we entered into Amendment No.1 to the Financing Agreement with Blue Torch Finance LLC (the "First Amendment"). Under the terms of the First Amendment, the parties agreed to reduce the number of business days to submit a notice of borrowing for the Delayed Draw Term Loan, and redefine certain terms within the asset coverage financial covenant. The maturity date remains November 6, 2027, for each of the Initial Term Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan, and Revolving Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2024, we had no borrowings on our available lines of credit in Italy, which provide up to an aggregate amount of €5.5 million ($5.9 million).

Lattus Spine LLC ("Lattus") Contingent Consideration

Under the terms of a contingent consideration obligation in a purchase agreement assumed in the Merger, we may be required to make installment payments at certain dates based on future net sales of certain products (the "Lateral Products"). The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement as of March 31, 2024, was $9.7 million; however, the actual amount ultimately paid could be higher or lower than the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. As of March 31, 2024, we classified the remaining contingent consideration liability within other long-term liabilities. For additional discussion of this matter, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Legion Innovations, LLC Asset Acquisition

On December 29, 2022, we entered into a technology assignment and royalty agreement with Legion Innovations, LLC, a U.S.-based medical device technology company, whereby we acquired intellectual property rights to certain assets. As consideration, we paid $0.2 million in January 2023, with additional payments contingent upon reaching future commercialization and revenue-based milestones.

IGEA S.p.A Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement

In April 2021, we entered into an Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with IGEA S.p.A (“IGEA”), an Italian manufacturer and distributor of bone and cartilage stimulation systems. As consideration for the License Agreement, we agreed to pay up to $4.0 million, of which $0.5 million was paid in 2021, with certain payments contingent upon achieving an FDA milestone.

In May 2022, we achieved FDA approval pertaining to the acquired technology, triggering a contingent consideration milestone obligation of $3.5 million. Of this amount, $1.5 million was paid in 2022, $1.0 million was paid in May 2023, and $1.0 million was accrued within other current liabilities as of March 31, 2024.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes in any of our material contractual obligations as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion of operating results is based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The preparation of these statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the quarter covered by this report.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by senior management in its financial and operational decision-making. We believe it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP financial measures used to supplement information regarding the performance and underlying trends of our business operations to facilitate comparisons to historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of our operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of our underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their U.S. GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this filing may have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for U.S. GAAP financial measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost that can have a material effect on cash flows.

Constant Currency

Constant currency is calculated by using foreign currency rates from the comparable, prior-year period to present net sales at comparable rates. Constant currency can be presented for numerous U.S. GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to analyze net sales without the impact of changes in foreign currency rates.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excludes the impact of share-based compensation, gains and losses related to changes in foreign exchange rates, charges related to the SeaSpine merger and other strategic investments, acquisition-related fair value adjustments, interest and gains and losses on investments, litigation and investigation costs, charges related to initial compliance with regulations set forth by the European Union Medical Device Regulation, and succession charges. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary metric used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in managing the business.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from net cash from operating activities. Management uses free cash flow as an important indicator of how much cash is generated or used by our normal business operations, including capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow as a measure of progress on its capital efficiency and cash flow initiatives.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to our market risks as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As described below, as of December 31, 2023, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our remediation efforts with respect to this material weakness are continuing, and we have determined that this material weakness is continuing as of March 31, 2024, as there have been no further control instances as of this date to conclude that the applicable controls have been remediated. As a result, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

29


 

Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of the inherent limitations in any internal control, no matter how well designed, misstatements may occur and not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may decline.

In connection with the preparation and filing of the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), the Company’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the framework set forth in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Based on its evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023, due to a material weakness in the design and operation of certain management review controls pertaining to business combinations and assessing recoverability of goodwill, resulting from insufficient evidence supporting the precision over the determination of certain estimates and insufficient evidence supporting the operating effectiveness of the associated review controls. This material weakness did not result in any misstatements to the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Notwithstanding the material weakness, management has concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in the 2023 Annual Report presented fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Remediation of the Material Weakness

Our management has worked, and continues to work, to strengthen our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in connection with the material weakness described above. Subsequent to the identification of the material weakness, the Company has better aligned its current finance department staff to enhance the review and oversight of the accounting and finance functions. The Company has also added several key positions in its finance department, including a new Chief Financial Officer, a Senior Vice President of Finance and Strategy, and other supporting roles with backgrounds in financial reporting, technical accounting, and financial planning and analysis. The Company continues to implement the remediation efforts described herein. These remediation efforts are being undertaken under the supervision of the Audit and Finance Committee of our Board of Directors.

We are in the process of implementing and continuing to refine the plan for remediation of the ineffective internal control over financial reporting described above. In addition, we have designed and are implementing the specific remediation initiatives described below:

Evaluating skill set gaps and hiring additional accounting, finance, and/or financial reporting personnel, as needed, with relevant public company accounting and financial reporting experience to develop and implement additional policies, procedures, and controls as it pertains to business combinations, asset acquisitions, and/or other processes heavily dependent on the usage of prospective financial information;
Providing ongoing training for key personnel responsible for internal control over financial reporting; and
Enhancing or designing and implementing controls over the completeness and accuracy of information used in financial reporting and forecasted financial results, particularly as it relates to the accounting for business combinations and goodwill impairment assessment.

We believe the remediation steps outlined above have improved and will continue to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to remediating the material weakness and we are making progress in that effort. The actions we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as oversight from the Audit and Finance Committee. When fully implemented and operational, we believe the measures described above will remediate the underlying causes of the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weakness and will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. However, remediation efforts are expected to continue beyond the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Further, we will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.

30


 

We may also identify additional measures that may be required to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, necessitating further action.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation activities described above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Andres Cedron

 

Dear Andres

 

It gives me great pleasure to present this offer of employment with Orthofix Medical, Inc. (with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Orthofix”).

 

Position: The position we are offering you is that of Chief Legal Officer.

 

Start Date: Your starting date will be on or before April 30, 2024.

 

Base Salary: Your base salary will be $470,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), less applicable deductions and tax withholdings.

 

Annual Bonus: Subject to Orthofix policies and satisfaction of applicable performance criteria, you will be eligible to participate in the annual bonus program, with a target bonus opportunity of 70% of your Base Salary. The annual bonus, if payable, will be paid at the same time that such bonuses are paid to other executives, and will be designed to either be exempt from or comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, as determined by the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of Orthofix’s Board of Directors (the “C&TD Committee”) upon establishment each year.

 

Sign-On Equity Award ($1,500,000): As an inducement to and incentive for accepting this position, you will receive a grant, effective as of your start date, of (i) performance-based restricted stock units (“P-RSUs”), valued at $750,000 (based on the closing price of Orthofix common stock on the grant date, subject to rounding to the nearest whole unit), (ii) Stock Options to purchase shares of Orthofix common stock, valued at $375,000 (based on the Black-Scholes value of Orthofix common stock on the grant date, subject to rounding to the nearest whole option share), and (iii) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with respect to shares of Orthofix common stock, valued at $375,000 (based on the closing price of Orthofix common stock on the grant date, subject to rounding to the nearest whole unit). All such awards will be subject to continued employment through applicable vesting dates (subject to any applicable acceleration rights).

 

P-RSUs vesting determined at the end of the 3-year performance period based on Orthofix total shareholder return relative to an industry peer group index, which vesting may be anywhere from 0% to 200% of the target P-RSU amount based on the achievement of the performance goals. If during the term of the Stock Options the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over a one-month calendar period has been equal to or greater than 150% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date (the “Sign-On Option Exercise Condition”), the Stock Options will vest upon the later of (i) the date on which the Sign-On Option Exercise Condition is achieved and (ii) the date on which you meet the applicable service-based conditions. The applicable service-based conditions will be met with respect to 1/3 of the Stock Options on the one-year anniversary of the Stock Options’ grant date and with respect to 1/12 of the Stock Options as of the end of each 3-month period during the two years following such one-year anniversary of the grant date. RSUs will vest in annual 33-1/3% installments, with the first tranche vesting on the one-year anniversary of the RSUs’ grant date and the second and third tranches vesting on the two and three year anniversaries of the grant date, respectively. Upon any future Change in Control (as defined under the Change in Control and Severance Agreement), (i) the performance goals for the P-RSUs will be deemed achieved at the greater of 100% of target or actual achievement through the Change in Control closing date and (ii) the Sign-On Option Exercise Condition will be deemed achieved.

Orthofix Medical Inc. | 3451 Plano Parkway | Lewisville, TX 75056 | 214.937.2000

The sign-on equity awards will be subject to the terms and conditions of applicable award agreements.

 

Benefits: Orthofix will offer you medical, dental, and vision insurance, effective the first of the month after your first 30 days of employment. You will also be eligible to participate in the Orthofix 401(k) retirement plan as of the first of the month after your first 30 days of employment. This plan currently provides an employer match of 100% for the first 4% contribution. A more detailed explanation of these benefits and other benefits will be provided to you under separate cover. Orthofix defers to the provisions of its employee benefits plans, which plans shall govern to the extent of any conflict and which plans may be changed unilaterally by Orthofix.

 

Relocation Assistance: Your position will be based in Orthofix’s Lewisville, TX offices and as such, Orthofix will provide you with a relocation payment, in an amount such that the estimated after-tax portion (calculated to assume that you are subject to U.S. federal and Texas state income tax, but not subject to income tax in any other jurisdiction) of such amount will be equal to $150,000, such payment to be used for expenses to support establishing residency in the Lewisville, TX area on or before June 30, 2025.

Third-Party Confidentiality/Non-Compete Obligations: Orthofix recognizes that, while you were employed with your prior employers, you may have been exposed to confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information (“Third-Party Confidential Information”). Moreover, Orthofix recognizes that you have a legal duty and may have a contractual duty not to use or disclose Third-Party Confidential Information outside of your employment with your former employers. Orthofix also recognizes that you may owe your former employers a contractual duty not to solicit certain customers (“Restricted Customers”). Orthofix has no intention of obtaining any Third-Party Confidential Information in any form. In fact, Orthofix’s expectation is that you will abide by, and comply fully with, the terms of any agreements you may have with respect to such information. By signing below, you represent and warrant that you have complied, and will comply, with any such obligations, including, but not limited to, all confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, and post-employment disclosure obligations.

achievement has been determined formally) such that the Executive has earned (or would have earned, had the Executive been employed in good standing by the Company on the date on which a bonus otherwise would have been paid) a bonus under any annual cash incentive program of the Company (an “Annual Cash Incentive Program”) and such Annual Cash Incentive Program bonus with respect to such prior calendar year has not yet been paid, the amount of such bonus, payable at the same time as payments are made to other participants under such Annual Cash Incentive Program, and (v) a pro rata amount of any Annual Cash Incentive Program bonus with respect to the year of termination (based on the number of days the Executive was employed by the Company during such year of termination) assuming achievement at 100% of Executive’s current annual target cash bonus amount under the Annual Cash Incentive Program, payable at the same time as payments are made to Executive as set forth in this Section 3, other than with respect to the bonus paid under the Annual Cash Incentive Program as contemplated by Section 3(iv) (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”). Subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants, as defined in Section 9) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, the Company shall also pay to the Executive, in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date (as defined below) (subject to the additional payment delays that may be required pursuant to Sections 8(b) and 8(c) below), an amount equal to 1.0 times the sum of (A) the Executive’s annual base salary in effect as of the Executive’s date of termination (without giving effect to any reduction of base salary that has occurred within the 12-month period preceding such date of termination), (B) the Executive’s current annual target cash bonus amount under the Annual Cash Incentive Program (without giving effect to any reduction of such annual target amount that has occurred within the 12-month period preceding such date of termination) and (C) $12,500 to be used by the Executive for outplacement services (the amount provided for by such sum, the “Severance Base Amount,” and the amount provided for by such product, “Non-CiC Severance Amount”).

In addition, subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Executive on a monthly basis for the Executive’s monthly premium payments for health care coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents for a period of 12 months, provided that the Executive and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents are currently enrolled in the applicable plan(s) of the Company at the time of the Executive’s termination and that the Executive timely elects to continue the Executive’s coverage under COBRA; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Executive for such premiums shall cease on the date the Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA coverage.

and (B) subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, (i) pay to the Executive, in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date (subject to the additional payment delays that may be required pursuant to Sections 8(b) and 8(c) below), an amount equal to 1.5 times the Severance Base Amount (the amount provided for by such product, the “CiC Severance Amount”); provided, however, that if the CiC Severance Amount could be paid to the Executive during the subsequent taxable year of the Executive rather than the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs based on when the Executive executes and delivers the release described in Section 5 hereof to the Company, then, to the extent that the CiC Severance Amount constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the CiC Severance Amount shall not be paid earlier than the first business day of the later of such taxable years; and (ii) reimburse the Executive on a monthly basis for the Executive’s monthly premium payments for health care coverage under COBRA for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents for a period of 12 months, provided that the Executive and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents are currently enrolled in the applicable plan(s) of the Company at the time of the Executive’s termination and that the Executive timely elects to continue the Executive’s coverage under COBRA; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Executive for such premiums shall cease on the date the Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA coverage. The Executive must advise the Company as soon as the Executive becomes eligible for health care coverage from a third party (e.g., spouse’s employer, the Executive’s subsequent employer, or any other party with a relationship with the Executive).
5.
Payments Contingent Upon Release Agreement, Compliance with Covenants. As a condition to receiving the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, and the reimbursement of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, the Executive will execute a general release of claims, which will also confirm any post-termination obligations and/or restrictions applicable to the Executive, in form and substance consistent with then-current practices for companies similarly situated to Parent (the “Release”). Within ten (10) days of the Executive’s date of termination, the Company shall deliver to the Executive the Release for the Executive to execute. The Executive will forfeit all rights to receive the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, and the reimbursement of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof unless, within forty-five (45) days of delivery of the Release by the Company to the Executive, the Executive executes and delivers the Release to the Company and such Release has become irrevocable by virtue of the expiration of the revocation period specified therein without the Release having been revoked (the first such date, the “Release Effective Date”). The Company’s obligation to pay the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, or to reimburse COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, is subject to the occurrence of the Release Effective Date, and if the Release Effective Date does not occur, then the Company shall have no obligation to make such payments or reimbursements. Any reimbursements of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof that would otherwise have become due prior to the Release Effective Date shall be paid in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date; provided, that if any reimbursements of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof could be paid to the Executive during a different taxable year of the Executive than the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs based on when the Executive executes and delivers the Release to the Company, then, to the extent that the reimbursements constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the reimbursement amounts shall not be paid earlier than the first business day of the later of such taxable years. In the event the Company reasonably believes that the Executive has breached one or more of the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants), the Company shall notify the Executive and provide reasonably

Subject to Section 10(d), if it is determined that the Executive has breached one or more covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants), the Executive shall forfeit the Executive’s right to receive the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, and the reimbursement of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, and, to the extent such amounts have been paid to the Executive, shall repay to the Company the after-tax amount of any such previously paid amounts.
6.
Time-Based Stock Options, Time-Based Restricted Stock and Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Vesting and Exercisability. The provisions set forth in Sections 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) below shall apply with respect to (a) all time-based vesting stock options of the Company (“Time-Based Stock Options” or “Options”) granted to the Executive, (b) all time-based vesting shares of restricted stock of the Company (“Time-Based Restricted Stock” or “TBRS”) granted to the Executive, and (c) all time-based vesting restricted stock units of the Company (“Time-Based RSU” or “TBRSU”) granted to the Executive, in each case, whether the applicable Options, TBRS and/or TRBSU are issued under (i) the 2012 LTIP, (ii) any other Company plan or award approved pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4), or (v) any other future or successor Company plan or standalone award agreements. Such provisions shall supersede and override any conflicting provisions set forth in applicable award agreements of the Company governing applicable grants, and shall be incorporated by reference into the terms of such award agreements.
(a)
Termination of Service in Non-Acceleration Circumstances. If, prior to vesting, the Executive’s Service is terminated for any reason other than a circumstance providing for accelerated vesting pursuant to any of Sections 6(b)-(f) below, the unvested portion of the applicable Option, TBRS, or TBRSU shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company as of the date of such termination of Service, and the Executive shall have no further right or interest therein unless the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion shall determine otherwise. In such event, the Executive shall have the right, subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable plan, to exercise such Option, to the extent it has vested as of the date of such termination of Service, at any time within three (3) months after the date of such termination of Service, subject to the earlier expiration of the Option on the ten (10)-year anniversary of grant or such other term as is provided in the applicable equity award agreement otherwise governing such grant (the “Expiration Date”). To the extent the vested portion of the Option is not exercised within such three (3)-month period, such Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company, and the Executive or any permitted transferee pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, as applicable, shall have no further right or interest therein.
(b)
Termination of Service for Death or Disability. If the Executive’s Service terminates by reason of death or the Executive terminates his or her employment as a result of Disability, as of the date of such termination of Service (i) the unvested portion of any Option shall automatically vest and become immediately exercisable in full and (ii) any TBRS and any TBRSU shall automatically vest in full. The full portion of any unexercised Option shall remain exercisable by the Executive (or any person entitled to do so) at any time within eighteen (18) months after the date of such termination of Service, subject to the earlier expiration of such Option on the Expiration Date. To the extent such Option is not exercised within such period, such Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company, and the Executive or any permitted transferee pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, as applicable, shall have no further right or interest therein. The shares subject to any such TBRSU shall be delivered no later than sixty (60) days following such termination of Service.

(c)
Intentionally Omitted.
(d)
Termination of Service by Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason. If the Executive’s Service terminates by reason of the Executive terminating his or her employment for Good Reason or the Company terminating the Executive’s employment without Cause, (i) the Partially Accelerating Portion of any Option shall automatically vest and become immediately exercisable, and the Partially Accelerating Portion of any TBRS and any TBRSU shall automatically vest, in each case, as of the date of such termination of Service. The non-vested portion of the Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company.

(f)
Certain Additional Change in Control Circumstances. In the event that any Option is assumed or continued, or substituted for new common stock options or another equity-based award of a successor entity, or parent or subsidiary thereof (with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares and option exercise prices), or any unvested portion of the TBRS or the TBRSU is assumed or continued, or substituted for new restricted common stock, new restricted stock unit, or another equity-based award of a successor entity, or parent or subsidiary thereof (with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares), in each case upon the consummation of any Change in Control, and the employment of the Executive with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for CiC Period Good Reason, in each case during a CiC Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following a Potential CiC Date but before the applicable Change in Control has been consummated), (i) such Option shall be fully vested and may be exercised in full, to the extent applicable, beginning on the date of such termination and for the thirty six (36)-month period immediately following such termination (subject to the earlier expiration of the Option on the Expiration Date) or for such longer period as the Compensation Committee shall determine and (ii) the unvested portion of such TBRS and such TBRSU shall be fully vested (and the shares subject to any such TBRSU shall be delivered no later than sixty (60) days following such termination of Service). In the event that a Change in Control occurs in which outstanding Options, shares of TBRS, and/or TBRSUs are not being assumed, continued or substituted (as contemplated by the preceding sentence), any Option and the unvested portion of any TBRS and any TBRSU shall be treated in accordance with the default rules applicable under Section 17.3 of the 2012 LTIP (or if made pursuant to a successor long-term incentive plan or inducement plan, the default rules contained in such plan), provided, that if the termination of Service occurs following a Potential CiC Date but before the applicable Change in Control has been consummated, the applicable unvested portion of such Options, TBRS and/or TBRSUs shall remain outstanding through the consummation of such Change in Control, and shall become vested in accordance with the terms of Sections 17.3(a) and 17.3(b) of the 2012 LTIP in connection with the consummation of such Change in Control.

(g)
Survival. All of the provisions in this Section 6 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason (unless such termination is as a result of a future novation of such provisions entered into by each of the parties).
7.
Section 280G. In the event that any of the severance payments and other benefits provided by this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Executive (a) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (b) but for this Section 7, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (“Excise Tax”), then the Executive’s severance payments and benefits under this Agreement or otherwise shall be payable either in full or in such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such severance payments or benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance payments and benefits under this Agreement or otherwise, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance payments or benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Any reduction in the severance payments and benefits required by this Section 7 shall be made in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) reduction of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (iii) reduction of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (iv) reduction of other benefits paid or provided to the Executive. The calculations and establishment of assumptions in this Section 7 will be performed by a professional tax firm engaged by the Company as of the day prior to the applicable CiC Date. If the tax firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the acquiring company, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized tax firm to make the determinations required by this Section 7. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made by this Section 7. The Company and the Executive shall furnish such tax firm such information and documents as the tax firm may reasonably request in order to make its required determination. The tax firm will provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and the Executive as soon as practicable following its engagement. Any good faith determinations of the tax firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive. However, the Executive shall have the final authority to make any good faith determination(s) associated with the assumptions used by the tax firm in providing its calculations, and such good faith determination by the Executive shall be binding on the Company. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 409A, 280G or 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the professional tax firm described in this Section 7, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or other agency will claim that an Excise Tax greater than that amount, if any, determined by such professional firm for the purposes of this Section 7 is due (the “Additional Excise Tax”). The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the IRS or other agency that, if successful, would require payment of Additional Excise Tax. The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to payments made or due to the Executive. The Company shall pay all reasonable fees, expenses and penalties of the Executive relating to a claim by the IRS or other agency. In the event it is finally determined that a further reduction would have been required under this Section 7 to place the Executive in a better after-tax position, the Executive shall repay the Company such amount within 30 days thereof in order to effect such result.
8.
Section 409A.
(a)
For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) (i) each “payment” (as defined by Section 409A) made under this Agreement shall be considered a “separate payment,” and

 

Change in Control and Severance Agreement — Cedron, Andres

Effective Date: April 15, 2024 Page 11

MACROBUTTON DocID \\4157-9973-8952 v1


(ii) payments shall be deemed exempt from the definition of deferred compensation under Section 409A to the fullest extent possible under (x) the “short-term deferral” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4), and (y) with respect to amounts paid as separation pay (as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(m)) no later than the second calendar year following the calendar year containing the Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined for purposes of Section 409A), the “two years/two-times” separation pay exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), which exemptions are hereby incorporated by reference.
(b)
Any payments otherwise payable under this Agreement shall not commence until the Executive has a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A).
(c)
If the Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A (and as applied according to procedures of the Company and its affiliates) as of the Executive’s separation from service, to the extent any payment under this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (after taking into account any applicable exemptions from Section 409A) that is payable upon a separation from service, and to the extent required in order to avoid the imposition of an excise tax under Section 409A, no payments due under this Agreement may be made until the earlier of: (1) the date of the Executive’s death and (2) the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service, provided, however, that any payments delayed during this six-month period shall be paid in the aggregate in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service (or upon the date of the Executive’s death, if earlier).
(d)
Any expense reimbursements or in kind benefits under this Agreement that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, without limitation, that: (i) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
(e)
If this Agreement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on the Executive by Section 409A, and the Executive shall have no recourse against the Company or any of its affiliates for payment of any such tax, penalty, or interest imposed by Section 409A.
9.
Additional Covenants.
(a)
Confidentiality, Inventions Assignment and Other Matters. The parties hereby incorporate by reference the CIAA into this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the CIAA Covenants are material provisions of this Agreement and that a material breach of the CIAA Covenants shall be a material breach of this Agreement, and that the payment rights set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement are subject to compliance with the CIAA Covenants, as further described in such respective sections.
(b)
Non-Disparagement. The Executive agrees that the Company’s reputation and goodwill in the marketplace is of utmost importance and value to the Company. The Executive further

agrees that during, and for 18 months after, the term of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will not purposefully make or publish, directly or indirectly, any public statement disparaging the Company or any of its directors or officers who held such offices at the time of Executive’s termination. A disparaging statement is any written communication (including via an online, digital, or social media platform) that attacks the Company’s products, services, or business policies and/or is intended to undermine the Company’s reputation. The Executive further understands and agrees that this Section 9(b) is a material provision of this Agreement and that any material breach of this Section 9(b) shall be a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Executive from (i) discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that the Executive has reason to believe is unlawful, or (ii) cooperating in any investigation or providing testimony in legal proceedings (whether administrative or judicial). Further, and consistent with Section 10(b), this Section 9(b) is not intended to prevent Executive from exercising any other rights protected by law, including the right to communicate with former coworkers and/or third parties about terms and conditions of employment or labor disputes, unrelated to the amount of severance pay under this Agreement, when the communication is not so disloyal, reckless, or maliciously untrue as to lose the protection of the law.
(c)
Cooperation. The Executive agrees that, for 18 months after the Executive’s date of termination, the Executive shall make himself of herself available at reasonable times, intervals and places for interviews, consultations, internal investigations and/or testimony during which the Executive shall provide to the Company, or its designated attorneys or agents, any and all information known to the Executive regarding or relating to the Company or the Executive’s activities on behalf of the Company pertaining to the subject matter on which the Executive’s cooperation is sought.
10.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Employment At-Will. The Executive agrees and understands that nothing in this Agreement shall change the Executive’s “at-will” employment status or confer any right with respect to continuation of employment with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Executive’s right or the Company’s right to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, with or without cause, either at the Executive’s or the Company’s option, with or without notice.
(b)
Permitted Disclosures. The Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement restricts or limits the Executive’s right to discuss the Executive’s employment or report possible violations of law or regulation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, United States Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other federal government agency or similar state or local agency or to discuss the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with others to the extent permitted by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act or to the extent that such disclosure is protected under the applicable provisions of law or regulation, including but not limited to “whistleblower” statutes or other similar provisions that protect such disclosure. Additionally, the Executive understands that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. If the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose such trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and

use the trade secret information in related court proceedings, provided that Employee files any document containing the trade secret information under seal and does not further disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
(c)
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, construed, interpreted, and its validity determined under the laws of the state in which the Executive resides (the “Governing Law State”), as applied to agreements entered into and to be fully performed by residents of such Governing Law State. Such law of the Governing Law State shall govern regardless of the forum in which a dispute may be adjudicated. Subject to Section 10(d) hereof, all actions or proceedings for injunctive relief arising out of this Agreement shall exclusively be heard and determined in state or federal courts in the Governing Law State having appropriate jurisdiction. The parties expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding and waive any objection to venue therein and any defense of forum non conveniens.
(d)
Dispute Resolution. The parties hereby incorporate by reference the Dispute Resolution Agreement into this Agreement and agree that any and all disputes arising under this Agreement are subject to and governed by the Dispute Resolution Agreement; provided, however, that the parties reserve the right to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court, in which case the parties agree that such injunctive relief shall be granted in court to preserve the status quo pending a resolution on the merits in arbitration. The Executive agrees that in connection with any application for injunctive relief, discovery shall be conducted on an expedited basis. The Executive further agrees that, in any proceeding alleging breach of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to conduct forensic examinations of any computers and/or electronic devices in the Executive’s possession or control, if the Company reasonably believes such devices contain Confidential Information (as defined in the Dispute Resolution Agreement).
(e)
Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement will cause immediate and irreparable injury and unquantifiable damage to the Company. If the Executive breaches, or the Company reasonably believes the Executive is about to breach, this Agreement, the Executive agrees that the Company is entitled to immediate injunctive relief enforcing the terms of this Agreement without the necessity of posting a bond, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity. The Executive and the Company agree that in any legal proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of its actual costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
(f)
Assignment. The Executive agrees that, should the Company be acquired by, merge with, or otherwise combine with another corporation or business entity, the surviving entity will have all rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement as if it were the Company itself enforcing the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may not assign this Agreement or any part hereof. Any purported assignment by the Executive shall be null and void from the initial date of purported assignment.
(g)
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, then the Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to render the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision, and the rest of the Agreement, valid and enforceable. If a court or other adjudicator declines to amend the Agreement, the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of

any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall be enforced as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had not been included in this Agreement.
(h)
Waiver. A waiver by the Company of a breach of any provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach, nor shall recourse to any remedy hereunder be a waiver of any other or further relief or remedy. No waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an officer of the Company.
(i)
Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise stated herein, this Agreement, together with the CIAA, the Dispute Resolution Agreement and, if applicable, the Offer Letter, set forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (including but not limited to severance payments and benefits), and supersedes and replaces all prior understandings and agreements regarding the same, whether written or oral. This Agreement can only be amended or modified in a writing signed by both parties. Any subsequent change(s) in the Executive’s duties, salary, compensation, or benefits will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement, including the at-will nature of employment as described in Section 10(a). The Company’s and the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment regardless of the manner of such termination. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, assigns, affiliated entities, and any party-in-interest.
(j)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed by both parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(k)

Lucas Vitale

1430 Puterbaugh Street

San Diego, CA 92103

 

Dear Lucas:

 

It gives me great pleasure to present this offer of employment with Orthofix Medical, Inc. (with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Orthofix”).

 

Position: The position we are offering you is that of Chief Administrative Officer.

 

Start Date: Your starting date will be on February 26, 2024

 

Base Salary: Your base salary will be $460,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), less applicable deductions and tax withholdings.

 

Annual Bonus: Subject to Orthofix policies and satisfaction of applicable performance criteria, you will be eligible to participate in the annual bonus program, with a target bonus opportunity of 70% of your Base Salary. Your 2024 annual bonus will not be pro-rated based on your start date. The annual bonus, if payable, will be paid at the same time that such bonuses are paid to other executives, and will be designed to either be exempt from or comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, as determined by the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of Orthofix’s Board of Directors (the “C&TD Committee”) upon establishment each year.

 

Sign-On Equity Award ($3,000,000): As an inducement to and incentive for accepting this position, you will receive a grant, effective as of your start date, of (i) performance-based restricted stock units (“P-RSUs”), valued at $900,000 (based on the closing price of Orthofix common stock on the grant date, subject to rounding to the nearest whole unit), (ii) Stock Options to purchase shares of Orthofix common stock, valued at $450,000 (based on the Black-Scholes value of Orthofix common stock on the grant date, subject to rounding to the nearest whole option share), (iii)annual vesting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with respect to shares of Orthofix common stock, valued at $450,000 (based on the closing price of Orthofix common stock on the grant date, subject to rounding to the nearest whole unit), and (iv) cliff vesting RSUs with respect to shares of Orthofix common stock, valued at $1,200,000 (based on the closing price of Orthofix common stock on the grant date, subject to rounding to the nearest whole unit). All such awards will be subject to continued employment through applicable vesting dates (subject to any applicable acceleration rights).

 

P-RSUs vesting determined at the end of the 3-year performance period based on Orthofix total shareholder return relative to an industry peer group index, which vesting may be anywhere from 0% to 200% of the target P-RSU amount based on the achievement of the performance goals. If during the term of the Stock Options the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over a one-month calendar period has been equal to or greater than 150% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date (the “Sign-On Option Exercise Condition”), the Stock Options will vest upon the later of (i) the date on which the Sign-On Option Exercise Condition is achieved and (ii) the date on which you meet the applicable service-based conditions. The applicable service-based conditions will be met with respect to 1/3 of the Stock Options on the one-year anniversary of the Stock Options’ grant date and with respect to 1/12 of the Stock Options as of the end of each 3-month period during the two years following such one-year anniversary of the grant date. The RSUs valued at $450,000 will vest in annual 33-1/3% installments, with the first tranche vesting on the one-year anniversary of the RSUs’ grant date and the second and third tranches vesting on the two and three year anniversaries of the grant date, respectively.

The RSUs valued at $1,200,000 will vest in one cliff on the third anniversary of the Grant Date. Upon any future Change in Control (as defined under the Change in Control and Severance Agreement), (i) the performance goals for the P-RSUs will be deemed achieved at the greater of 100% of target or actual achievement through the Change in Control closing date and (ii) the Sign-On Option Exercise Condition will be deemed achieved. The sign-on equity awards will be subject to the terms and conditions of applicable award agreements.

 

Benefits: Orthofix will offer you medical, dental, and vision insurance, effective the first of the month after your first 30 days of employment. You will also be eligible to participate in the Orthofix 401(k) retirement plan as of the first of the month after your first 30 days of employment. This plan currently provides an employer match of 100% for the first 2% contribution and 50% for the next 4% contribution. A more detailed explanation of these benefits and other benefits will be provided to you under separate cover. Orthofix defers to the provisions of its employee benefits plans, which plans shall govern to the extent of any conflict and which plans may be changed unilaterally by Orthofix.

 

Relocation Assistance: Your position will be based in Orthofix’s Carlsbad, CA offices and as such, Orthofix will provide you with relocation expense reimbursement of up to $100,000 with a gross up for taxes for expenses incurred for the move of your temporary residence in Boston, MA back to San Diego, CA area.

Third-Party Confidentiality/Non-Compete Obligations: Orthofix recognizes that, while you were employed with your prior employers, you may have been exposed to confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information (“Third-Party Confidential Information”). Moreover, Orthofix recognizes that you have a legal duty and may have a contractual duty not to use or disclose Third-Party Confidential Information outside of your employment with your former employers. Orthofix also recognizes that you may owe your former employers a contractual duty not to solicit certain customers (“Restricted Customers”). Orthofix has no intention of obtaining any Third-Party Confidential Information in any form. In fact, Orthofix’s expectation is that you will abide by, and comply fully with, the terms of any agreements you may have with respect to such information. By signing below, you represent and warrant that you have complied, and will comply, with any such obligations, including, but not limited to, all confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, and post-employment disclosure obligations. You further represent and warrant that you have not misappropriated any Third-Party Confidential Information and, to the extent you may have access to such information, you will not disclose or use it for any purpose contrary to the terms of any agreements you may have with respect to such information, or to benefit Orthofix in any way.

If, during a Non-CiC Period, the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates as a result of death, the Executive terminates his or her employment as a result of Disability or for Good Reason, or the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (i) the Executive’s outstanding base salary due through the Executive’s date of termination, (ii) any amounts or benefits owing to the Executive as of the Executive’s date of termination under the then applicable benefit plans of the Company, at the time such amounts or benefits are due (including any accrued vacation payable), (iii) any amounts owing to the Executive for reimbursement of expenses properly incurred by the Executive prior to the Executive’s date of termination, which shall be subject to and paid in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, (iv) if, for the calendar year prior to the Executive’s termination, the Company and/or the Executive has achieved performance goals (whether or not such achievement has been determined formally) such that the Executive has earned (or would have earned, had the Executive been employed in good standing by the Company on the date on which a bonus otherwise would have been paid) a bonus under any annual cash incentive program of the Company (an “Annual Cash Incentive Program”) and such Annual Cash Incentive Program bonus with respect to such prior calendar year has not yet been paid, the amount of such bonus, payable at the same time as payments are made to other participants under such Annual Cash Incentive Program, and (v) a pro rata amount of any Annual Cash Incentive Program bonus with respect to the year of termination (based on the number of days the Executive was employed by the Company during such year of termination) assuming achievement at 100% of Executive’s current annual target cash bonus amount under the Annual Cash Incentive Program, payable at the same time as payments are made to Executive as set forth in this Section 3, other than with respect to the bonus paid under the Annual Cash Incentive Program as contemplated by Section 3(iv) (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”). Subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants, as defined in Section 9) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, the Company shall also pay to the Executive, in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date (as defined below) (subject to the additional payment delays that may be required pursuant to Sections 8(b) and 8(c) below), an amount equal to 1.0 times the sum of (A) the Executive’s annual base salary in effect as of the Executive’s date of termination (without giving effect to any reduction of base salary that has occurred within the 12-month period preceding such date of termination), (B) the Executive’s current annual target cash bonus amount under the Annual Cash Incentive Program (without giving effect to any reduction of such annual target amount that has occurred within the 12-month period preceding such date of termination) and (C) $12,500 to be used by the Executive for outplacement services (the amount provided for by such sum, the “Severance Base Amount,” and the amount provided for by such product, “Non-CiC Severance Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-CiC Severance Amount could be paid to the Executive during the subsequent taxable year of the Executive rather than the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs based on when the Executive executes and delivers the release described in Section 5 hereof to the Company, then, to the extent that the Non-CiC Severance Amount constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Non-CiC Severance Amount shall not be paid earlier than the first business day of the later of such taxable years. In addition, subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Executive on a monthly basis for the Executive’s monthly premium payments for health care coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents for a period of 12 months, provided that the Executive and, if applicable,

The Executive must advise the Company as soon as the Executive becomes eligible for health care coverage from a third party (e.g., spouse’s employer, the Executive’s subsequent employer, or any other party with a relationship with the Executive).
4.
Termination of Employment During a CiC Period. If, during a CiC Period, the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates as a result of death, the Executive terminates his or her employment as a result of Disability or for Good Reason, or the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, the Company shall: (A) pay or provide to the Executive the Accrued Amounts, and (B) subject to the Executive’s compliance with the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants) and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the release described in Section 5 hereof, (i) pay to the Executive, in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date (subject to the additional payment delays that may be required pursuant to Sections 8(b) and 8(c) below), an amount equal to 1.5 times the Severance Base Amount (the amount provided for by such product, the “CiC Severance Amount”); provided, however, that if the CiC Severance Amount could be paid to the Executive during the subsequent taxable year of the Executive rather than the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs based on when the Executive executes and delivers the release described in Section 5 hereof to the Company, then, to the extent that the CiC Severance Amount constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the CiC Severance Amount shall not be paid earlier than the first business day of the later of such taxable years; and (ii) reimburse the Executive on a monthly basis for the Executive’s monthly premium payments for health care coverage under COBRA for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents for a period of 12 months, provided that the Executive and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents are currently enrolled in the applicable plan(s) of the Company at the time of the Executive’s termination and that the Executive timely elects to continue the Executive’s coverage under COBRA; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Executive for such premiums shall cease on the date the Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA coverage and (ii) if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA reimbursements (in whole or in part) would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h) of the Code or any statute or regulation of similar effect, then in lieu of providing the COBRA reimbursements (in whole or in part), the Company may elect instead to pay the Executive on the first day of each month of such coverage period, a fully taxable cash payment equal, on an after-tax basis, to the applicable COBRA premiums (in whole or in part) for the prior month. The Executive must advise the Company as soon as the Executive becomes eligible for health care coverage from a third party (e.g., spouse’s employer, the Executive’s subsequent employer, or any other party with a relationship with the Executive).

Within ten (10) days of the Executive’s date of termination, the Company shall deliver to the Executive the Release for the Executive to execute. The Executive will forfeit all rights to receive the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, and the reimbursement or payment of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof unless, within fifty-two (52) days of delivery of the Release by the Company to the Executive, the Executive executes and delivers the Release to the Company and such Release has become irrevocable by virtue of the expiration of the revocation period specified therein without the Release having been revoked (the first such date, the “Release Effective Date”). The Company’s obligation to pay the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, or to reimburse or pay COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, is subject to the occurrence of the Release Effective Date, and if the Release Effective Date does not occur, then the Company shall have no obligation to make such payments or reimbursements. Any reimbursements or payments of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof that would otherwise have become due prior to the Release Effective Date shall be paid in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following the Release Effective Date; provided, that if any reimbursements or payments of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof could be paid to the Executive during a different taxable year of the Executive than the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs based on when the Executive executes and delivers the Release to the Company, then, to the extent that the reimbursements constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the reimbursement amounts shall not be paid earlier than the first business day of the later of such taxable years. In the event the Company reasonably believes that the Executive has breached one or more of the covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants), the Company shall notify the Executive and provide reasonably detailed information supporting its belief and the Company and the Executive shall discuss in good faith the resolution thereof. Subject to Section 10(d), if it is determined that the Executive has breached one or more covenants in Section 9 (including but not limited to the CIAA Covenants), the Executive shall forfeit the Executive’s right to receive the Non-CiC Severance Amount or the CiC Severance Amount, as applicable, and the reimbursement or payment of COBRA premiums pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, and, to the extent such amounts have been paid to the Executive, shall repay to the Company the after-tax amount of any such previously paid amounts.
6.
Time-Based Stock Options, Time-Based Restricted Stock and Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Vesting and Exercisability. The provisions set forth in Sections 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) below shall apply with respect to (a) the time-based vesting portion of all stock options of the Company (“Time-Based Stock Options” or “Options”) granted to the Executive, (b) all time-based vesting shares of restricted stock of the Company (“Time-Based Restricted Stock” or “TBRS”) granted to the Executive, and (c) all time-based vesting restricted stock units of the Company (“Time-Based RSU” or “TBRSU”) granted to the Executive, in each case, whether the applicable Options, TBRS and/or TRBSU are issued under (i) the 2012 LTIP, (ii) the SeaSpine 2015 Plan, or (iii) any other future or successor Company plan or standalone award agreements. Such provisions shall supersede and override any conflicting provisions set forth in applicable award agreements of the Company governing applicable grants, and shall be incorporated by reference into the terms of such award agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions in Section 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) below shall not apply with respect to the equity-based compensation grants made to the Executive pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4) in connection with his inducement to become employed by the Company.

(a)
Termination of Service in Non-Acceleration Circumstances. If, prior to vesting, the Executive’s Service is terminated for any reason other than a circumstance providing for accelerated vesting pursuant to any of Sections 6(b)-(f) below, the unvested portion of the applicable Option, TBRS, or TBRSU shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company as of the date of such termination of Service, and the Executive shall have no further right or interest therein unless the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion shall determine otherwise. In such event, the Executive shall have the right, subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable plan, to exercise such Option, to the extent it has vested as of the date of such termination of Service, at any time within three (3) months after the date of such termination of Service, subject to the earlier expiration of the Option on the ten (10)-year anniversary of grant or such other term as is provided in the applicable equity award agreement otherwise governing such grant (the “Expiration Date”). To the extent the vested portion of the Option is not exercised within such three (3)-month period, such Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company, and the Executive or any permitted transferee pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, as applicable, shall have no further right or interest therein.
(b)
Termination of Service for Death or Disability. If the Executive’s Service terminates by reason of death or the Executive terminates his or her employment as a result of Disability, as of the date of such termination of Service (i) the unvested portion of any Option shall automatically vest and become immediately exercisable in full and (ii) any TBRS and any TBRSU shall automatically vest in full. The full portion of any unexercised Option shall remain exercisable by the Executive (or any person entitled to do so) at any time within eighteen (18) months after the date of such termination of Service, subject to the earlier expiration of such Option on the Expiration Date. To the extent such Option is not exercised within such period, such Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company, and the Executive or any permitted transferee pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, as applicable, shall have no further right or interest therein. The shares subject to any such TBRSU shall be delivered no later than sixty (60) days following such termination of Service.
(c)
Intentionally Omitted.
(d)
Termination of Service by Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason. If the Executive’s Service terminates by reason of the Executive terminating his or her employment for Good Reason or the Company terminating the Executive’s employment without Cause, the Partially Accelerating Portion of any Option shall automatically vest and become immediately exercisable, and the Partially Accelerating Portion of any TBRS and any TBRSU shall automatically vest, in each case, as of the date of such termination of Service. The non-vested portion of the Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company. The vested portion of the applicable Option (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Partially Accelerating Portion) shall remain exercisable by the Executive (or any person entitled to do so) at any time within eighteen (18) months after the date of such termination of Service, subject to the earlier expiration of the Option on the Expiration Date, and to the extent such vested portion of the Option is not exercised within such eighteen (18)-month period, such portion of the Option shall be cancelled and revert back to the Company, and the Executive or any permitted transferee pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, as applicable, shall have no further right or interest therein. The shares subject to any such TBRSU shall be delivered no later than sixty (60) days following such termination of Service.
(e)
Intentionally Omitted.

(f)
Certain Additional Change in Control Circumstances. In the event that the employment of the Executive with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for CiC Period Good Reason, in each case during a CiC Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following a Potential CiC Date but before the applicable Change in Control has been consummated), (i) the Executive’s then-outstanding Options shall be fully vested and may be exercised in full, to the extent applicable, beginning on the date of such termination and for the thirty six (36)-month period immediately following such termination (subject to the earlier expiration of the Option on the Expiration Date) or for such longer period as the Compensation Committee shall determine, and (ii) the unvested portion of the Executive’s then outstanding TBRS and TBRSU shall be fully vested (and the shares subject to any such TBRSU shall be delivered no later than sixty (60) days following such termination of Service). Such outstanding Options, TBRS, and TBRSU shall otherwise be treated in accordance with the default rules applicable under Section 17 of the 2012 LTIP as in effect on the Effective Date (or if made pursuant to a successor long-term incentive plan or inducement plan, the default rules contained in such plan).
(g)
Survival. All of the provisions in this Section 6 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason (unless such termination is as a result of a future novation of such provisions entered into by each of the parties).
7.
Section 280G. In the event that any of the severance payments and other benefits provided by this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Executive (a) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (b) but for this Section 7, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (“Excise Tax”), then the Executive’s severance payments and benefits under this Agreement or otherwise shall be payable either in full or in such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such severance payments or benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance payments and benefits under this Agreement or otherwise, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance payments or benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Any reduction in the severance payments and benefits required by this Section 7 shall be made in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) reduction of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (iii) reduction of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (iv) reduction of other benefits paid or provided to the Executive. The calculations and establishment of assumptions in this Section 7 will be performed by a professional tax firm engaged by the Company as of the day prior to the applicable CiC Date. If the tax firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the acquiring company, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized tax firm to make the determinations required by this Section 7. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made by this Section 7. The Company and the Executive shall furnish such tax firm such information and documents as the tax firm may reasonably request in order to make its required determination. The tax firm will provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and the Executive as soon as practicable following its engagement. Any good faith determinations of the tax firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive. However, the Executive shall have the final authority to make any good faith determination(s) associated with the assumptions used by the tax firm in providing its calculations, and such good faith determination by the Executive shall be binding on the Company. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 409A, 280G or 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the professional tax firm described in this Section 7, it is possible that the Internal Revenue

Service (the “IRS”) or other agency will claim that an Excise Tax greater than that amount, if any, determined by such professional firm for the purposes of this Section 7 is due (the “Additional Excise Tax”). The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the IRS or other agency that, if successful, would require payment of Additional Excise Tax. The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to payments made or due to the Executive. The Company shall pay all reasonable fees, expenses and penalties of the Executive relating to a claim by the IRS or other agency. In the event it is finally determined that a further reduction would have been required under this Section 7 to place the Executive in a better after-tax position, the Executive shall repay the Company such amount within 30 days thereof in order to effect such result.
8.
Section 409A.
(a)
For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) (i) each “payment” (as defined by Section 409A) made under this Agreement shall be considered a “separate payment,” and (ii) payments shall be deemed exempt from the definition of deferred compensation under Section 409A to the fullest extent possible under (x) the “short-term deferral” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4), and (y) with respect to amounts paid as separation pay (as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(m)) no later than the second calendar year following the calendar year containing the Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined for purposes of Section 409A), the “two years/two-times” separation pay exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), which exemptions are hereby incorporated by reference.
(b)
Any payments otherwise payable under this Agreement shall not commence until the Executive has a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A). Furthermore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a payment or benefit that is characterized as deferred compensation under Section 409A, and pursuant to which payment or settlement is triggered based on a Change in Control, in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred for purposes of such payment or settlement if the transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder).
(c)
If the Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A (and as applied according to procedures of the Company and its affiliates) as of the Executive’s separation from service, to the extent any payment under this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (after taking into account any applicable exemptions from Section 409A) that is payable upon a separation from service, and to the extent required in order to avoid the imposition of an excise tax or penalties under Section 409A, no payments due under this Agreement may be made until the earlier of: (1) the date of the Executive’s death and (2) the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service, provided, however, that any payments delayed during this six-month period shall be paid in the aggregate in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service (or upon the date of the Executive’s death, if earlier).
(d)
Any expense reimbursements or in kind benefits under this Agreement that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, without limitation, that: (i) the expenses

 

Change in Control and Severance Agreement — Vitale, Lucas

Effective Date: March 15, 2024 Page 12

eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
9.
Additional Covenants.
(a)
Confidentiality, Inventions Assignment and Other Matters. The parties hereby incorporate by reference the CIAA into this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the CIAA Covenants are material provisions of this Agreement and that a material breach of the CIAA Covenants shall be a material breach of this Agreement, and that the payment rights set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement are subject to compliance with the CIAA Covenants, as further described in such respective sections.
(b)
Non-Disparagement. The Executive agrees that the Company’s reputation and goodwill in the marketplace is of utmost importance and value to the Company. The Executive further agrees that during, and for 18 months after, the term of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will not purposefully make or publish, directly or indirectly, any public statement disparaging the Company or any of its directors or officers who held such offices at the time of Executive’s termination. A disparaging statement is any written communication (including via an online, digital, or social media platform) that attacks the Company’s products, services, or business policies and/or is intended to undermine the Company’s reputation. The Executive further understands and agrees that this Section 9(b) is a material provision of this Agreement and that any material breach of this Section 9(b) shall be a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Executive from (i) discussing or disclosing information about unlawful, unethical or improper acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that the Executive has reason to believe is unlawful, unethical or improper, (ii) cooperating in any investigation or providing testimony in legal proceedings (whether administrative or judicial), or (iii) making truthful statements in connection with the Executive’s enforcement of his rights against the Company, whether under contract, statutory, or common law. Further, and consistent with Section 10(b), this Section 9(b) is not intended to prevent Executive from exercising any other rights protected by law, including the right to communicate with former coworkers and/or third parties about terms and conditions of employment or labor disputes, unrelated to the amount of severance pay under this Agreement, when the communication is not so disloyal, reckless, or maliciously untrue as to lose the protection of the law.
(c)
Cooperation. The Executive agrees that, for 18 months after the Executive’s date of termination, the Executive shall make himself of herself available at reasonable times, intervals and places for interviews, consultations, internal investigations and/or testimony during which the Executive shall provide to the Company, or its designated attorneys or agents, any and all information known to the Executive regarding or relating to the Company or the Executive’s activities on behalf of the Company pertaining to the subject matter on which the Executive’s cooperation is sought.

10.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Employment At-Will. The Executive agrees and understands that nothing in this Agreement shall change the Executive’s “at-will” employment status or confer any right with respect to continuation of employment with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Executive’s right or the Company’s right to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, with or without cause, either at the Executive’s or the Company’s option, with or without notice.
(b)
Permitted Disclosures. The Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement restricts or limits the Executive’s right to discuss the Executive’s employment or report possible violations of law or regulation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, United States Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other federal government agency or similar state or local agency or to discuss the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with others to the extent permitted by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act or to the extent that such disclosure is protected under the applicable provisions of law or regulation, including but not limited to “whistleblower” statutes or other similar provisions that protect such disclosure. Additionally, the Executive understands that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. If the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose such trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in related court proceedings, provided that Employee files any document containing the trade secret information under seal and does not further disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
(c)
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, construed, interpreted, and its validity determined under the laws of the state in which the Executive resides (the “Governing Law State”), as applied to agreements entered into and to be fully performed by residents of such Governing Law State. Such law of the Governing Law State shall govern regardless of the forum in which a dispute may be adjudicated. Subject to Section 10(d) hereof, all actions or proceedings for injunctive relief arising out of this Agreement shall exclusively be heard and determined in state or federal courts in the Governing Law State having appropriate jurisdiction. The parties expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding and waive any objection to venue therein and any defense of forum non conveniens.
(d)
Dispute Resolution. The parties hereby incorporate by reference the Dispute Resolution Agreement into this Agreement and agree that any and all disputes arising under this Agreement are subject to and governed by the Dispute Resolution Agreement; provided, however, that the parties reserve the right to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court, in which case the parties agree that such injunctive relief shall be granted in court to preserve the status quo pending a resolution on the merits in arbitration. The Executive agrees that in connection with any application for injunctive relief, discovery shall be conducted on an expedited basis. The Executive further agrees that, in any proceeding alleging breach of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to conduct forensic examinations of any computers and/or electronic devices in the Executive’s possession or control, if the Company

reasonably believes such devices contain Confidential Information (as defined in the Dispute Resolution Agreement).
(e)
Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement will cause immediate and irreparable injury and unquantifiable damage to the Company. If the Executive breaches, or the Company reasonably believes the Executive is about to breach, this Agreement, the Executive agrees that the Company is entitled to immediate injunctive relief enforcing the terms of this Agreement without the necessity of posting a bond, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity. The Executive and the Company agree that in any legal proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of its actual costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
(f)
Assignment. The Executive agrees that, should the Company be acquired by, merge with, or otherwise combine with another corporation or business entity, the surviving entity will have all rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement as if it were the Company itself enforcing the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may not assign this Agreement or any part hereof. Any purported assignment by the Executive shall be null and void from the initial date of purported assignment.
(g)
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, then the Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to render the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision, and the rest of the Agreement, valid and enforceable. If a court or other adjudicator declines to amend the Agreement, the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall be enforced as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had not been included in this Agreement.
(h)
Waiver. A waiver by the Company of a breach of any provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach, nor shall recourse to any remedy hereunder be a waiver of any other or further relief or remedy. No waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an officer of the Company.
(i)
Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise stated herein, this Agreement, together with the CIAA, the Dispute Resolution Agreement and, if applicable, the Offer Letter, set forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (including but not limited to severance payments and benefits), and supersedes and replaces all prior understandings and agreements regarding the same, whether written or oral. This Agreement can only be amended or modified in a writing signed by both parties. Any subsequent change(s) in the Executive’s duties, salary, compensation, or benefits will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement, including the at-will nature of employment as described in Section 10(a). The Company’s and the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment regardless of the manner of such termination. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, assigns, affiliated entities, and any party-in-interest.

Section 6.
Conditions Subsequent.

In consideration of such accommodation, the Loan Parties agree that, in addition to all other terms, conditions and provisions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, those conditions set forth in Section 4, the Loan Parties shall satisfy each of the conditions subsequent set forth on Schedule 1 attached thereto (it being understood that (i) the failure by the Loan Parties to perform or cause to be performed any such condition subsequent on or before the date applicable thereto shall constitute an Event of Default, (ii) satisfaction of any such condition subsequent shall be a condition precedent to the funding of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, and (iii) to the extent that the existence of any such condition subsequent would otherwise cause any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be breached, the Required Lenders hereby waive such breach for the period from the Effective Date until the date on which such condition subsequent is required to be fulfilled pursuant to such on Schedule 1).
Section 7.
Effect; Relationship of Parties.
(a)
Except as expressly modified hereby or in connection herewith, the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect as originally written, and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Loan Parties to the Agents and Lenders, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Financing Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import referring to the Financing Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the “Financing Agreement,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Financing Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Financing Agreement as modified by this Agreement.
(b)
The relationship of the Agents and Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, has been and shall continue to be, at all times, that of creditor and debtor and not as joint venturers or partners. Nothing contained in this Agreement, any instrument, document or agreement delivered in connection herewith or in the Financing Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed to create a fiduciary relationship between or among the parties hereto or thereto.
Section 8.
Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (any of which may be delivered by email or other electronic transmission), each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement via email or other electronic transmission shall, upon the request by Administrative Agent, also deliver a manually executed original to Administrative Agent or its counsel, but the failure to do so does not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of this Agreement. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law) thereof.
