This booklet includes the notice of Annual Meeting and the proxy statement. The proxy statement describes the business that we will conduct at the meeting.

Your vote is important. Please refer to the proxy card or other voting instructions included with these proxy materials for information on how to vote by proxy or in person.

This notice and the accompanying proxy statement are being furnished to the shareholders of Orthofix Medical Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Orthofix” or the “Company”), in connection with the upcoming 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and the related solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Orthofix (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) from holders of outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“common stock”), of Orthofix for use at the Annual Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. In this notice and the accompanying proxy statement, all references to “we,” “our” and “us” refer to the Company, except as otherwise provided.

Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meeting will be held on June 6, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time, at the Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas, 4150 North MacArthur Boulevard, Irving, Texas 75038.

Please read a detailed description of proposals 1 through 4 stated above beginning on page 52 of the proxy statement.

All record holders of shares of Orthofix common stock at the close of business on April 7, 2022 are being sent this notice and will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each record holder on such date is entitled to cast one vote per share of common stock.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS MEETING TO BE HELD JUNE 6, 2022: A COPY OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT, PROXY VOTING CARD, AND THE ORTHOFIX ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 ARE AVAILABLE AT WWW.PROXYDOCS.COM/OFIX.

The summary highlights certain information about our business and 2021 performance. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider, and we encourage you to read the entire proxy statement before voting.

The following graphics highlight the diversity and qualifications of our directors, both individually and in the aggregate.

Notable financial results and operational accomplishments in 2021 include the following:

We manage our business by two reporting segments, Global Spine and Global Orthopedics, which accounted for 77% and 23%, respectively, of our total net sales in 2021. The chart below presents net sales, which includes product sales and marketing service fees, by reporting segment for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

We focus our compensation program for our named executive officers and other executive officers on financial, strategic, and operational goals established by the Board of Directors to create sustained value for our shareholders. Our guiding compensation principle is to pay for performance. Our compensation program is designed to motivate, measure, and reward the successful achievement of our strategic and operating goals without promoting excessive or unnecessary risk taking. At our 2021, 2020, and 2019 annual meetings, our say-on-pay proposals were supported by 97%, 95%, and 98% of shares represented at the respective meetings, which we believe validates the Company’s “pay-for-performance” approach to executive compensation.

The charts below show the annual total target direct compensation (full-year base salary, target annual cash incentive compensation and long-term incentive equity compensation awarded) for our President and Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers for 2021. These charts illustrate that between 75-85% of our named executive officer total target direct compensation was performance-based or variable.

Consistent with shareholder interests and market best practices, our executive compensation program includes the following sound governance features:

We are committed to effective corporate governance and the regular review of our corporate governance practices to continue building on our success and long-term shareholder value.

THIS PROXY STATEMENT IS BEING DISTRIBUTED TO SHAREHOLDERS ON OR ABOUT APRIL 27, 2022.

All record holders of shares of Orthofix common stock at the close of business on April 7, 2022 (the “Record Date”), are being distributed this proxy statement and will be entitled to vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Each record holder on such date is entitled to cast one vote per share of common stock. As of the Record Date, there were 19,845,106 shares of Orthofix common stock outstanding.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. For your convenience, you may vote online, by phone, by mail, or in person at the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares in street name, please follow the voting instructions provided to you by your broker.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Orthofix common stock outstanding on the Record Date is required to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote on the proposals for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Assuming a quorum is present, each of the nominees for election as directors in Proposal 1 will be elected upon the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast with respect to such director seat (i.e., if the number of shares voted “FOR” such nominee exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” such nominee). For purposes of Proposal 1, abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as either “FOR” or “AGAINST” votes, and have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Assuming a quorum is present, the approval of Proposals 2, 3, and 4 each requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the applicable proposal (meaning that a majority of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the applicable proposal must be voted “FOR” the applicable proposal for it to be approved), with (i) abstentions having the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the applicable proposal and (ii) broker non-votes (to the extent applicable) not counted as a vote either “FOR” or “AGAINST” and having no effect on the outcome of the vote for the applicable proposal.

If you are a record holder, you may cast your vote via the internet, by phone, or by mail. See your proxy card for your online control number in order to vote. If your shares of common stock are held in street name, you will receive instructions from your broker, bank, or other nominee that you must follow in order to have your shares of common stock voted.

This proxy statement is being furnished to holders of shares of Orthofix common stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board for use at the Annual Meeting.

All shares of Orthofix common stock that are represented at the Annual Meeting by properly executed proxies received prior to or at the Annual Meeting and which are not validly revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated on such proxies. If no instructions are indicated on a properly executed proxy, such proxy will be voted in favor of each of the proposals. The Board does not know of any other matters that are to be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it is voted. Proxies may be revoked by (1) filing with Orthofix, at or before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy or (2) duly executing a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares of Orthofix common stock and delivering it to Orthofix before the Annual Meeting. Attending the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute the revocation of a proxy. Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy should be sent so as to be delivered to: Orthofix Medical Inc., 3451 Plano Parkway, Lewisville, Texas 75056, at or before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting.

We will pay all the costs of soliciting these proxies, including reimbursing banks, brokers, nominees and other fiduciaries for the expenses they incur in forwarding the proxy materials to you. Our directors and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, fax, or other electronic means of communication, or in person.

We have filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The 2021 Form 10-K is available on our website at www.orthofix.com and at http://www.proxydocs.com/OFIX. If you would like to receive an additional copy of the 2021 Form 10-K, we will send you one free of charge. Please write to:

We will publish the voting results from the Annual Meeting in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we will file with the SEC after the conclusion of the meeting. You will also be able to find the Form 8-K on our website at www.orthofix.com.

If you have questions about the Annual Meeting, voting or your ownership of shares of Orthofix common stock, please contact Ms. Huerta at (214) 937-3190 or at AlexaHuerta@orthofix.com. Directions to the meeting can be found at http://www.proxydocs.com/OFIX.

Such persons are required by regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all such filings. Based on our review of these reports and related representations by the Reporting Persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) reports were filed timely in 2021, except that, due to an internal administrative error at the Company, the Form 4 relating to the grant of stock options to Wayne Burris on September 22, 2021 following his appointment to the Board was inadvertently filed three business days late.

Our executive officers listed and described below, Messrs. Serbousek, Rice, Kenny, and Gonsalves and Ms. Elting, are referred to collectively throughout this proxy statement as our “named executive officers” or “NEOs.”

Our Bylaws provide that the Board shall consist of not less than six and no more than fifteen directors, the exact number to be determined from time-to-time by resolution of the Board. The Board is currently comprised of nine seats. Following the recommendation of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, the Board has nominated each of the nine current Directors for re-election as members of the Board at the Annual Meeting.

Directors are elected at each annual meeting of shareholders by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the director, provided, however, that directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast if (i) the Company receives a notice that a shareholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors in compliance with the advance notice requirements for shareholder nominees for directors set forth in our Bylaws, which nomination is not subsequently withdrawn, or (ii) the number of nominees for election to the Board of Directors at such meeting exceeds the number of directors to be elected. For purposes of this standard, a “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “FOR” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that director nominee. The Company has not received any director nominations from shareholders for this year’s Annual Meeting, and the number of nominees is equal to the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting. As such, a “majority of the votes cast” will be the standard for election at the Annual Meeting.

Under our Bylaws, if an incumbent director is nominated in an uncontested election, the director nominee is required, as a condition of the director’s nomination, to submit a conditional and irrevocable letter of resignation to the Chair of the Board. If an incumbent director nominee does not receive a majority of the votes cast, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee of the Board is required to make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board is required to act on the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days from the date of certification of the election results. The director whose resignation is being considered may not participate in the recommendation of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee or the Board’s decision.

It is our policy that all directors attend the Annual Meeting, and at last year’s meeting, all directors attended the meeting in person except for Mr. Sicard, who was unable to attend due to international travel restrictions. We expect that all directors will attend this year’s meeting in person.

The Board meets at least four times per year in person at regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, but will meet more often in person if necessary. In addition, the Board typically holds several additional meetings each year by telephone or video conference as events require. The Board met seven times during 2021, all of which were in-person or virtual meetings. The Board has four standing committees: the Audit and Finance Committee, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee, the Compliance and Ethics Committee, and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee. During 2021, every director attended 75% or more of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and the Committees on which he or she served that were held during the period for which he or she was a director or Committee member, as applicable.

Of our nine director nominees, the Board has determined that each of Mr. Burris, Ms. Burzik, Mr. Hannon, Mr. Hinrichs, Ms. Marks, Mr. Paolucci, Mr. Sicard, and Mr. West are independent under the current Nasdaq listing standards. Mr. Serbousek is not considered independent, as he also serves as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. A list of our director nominees, including background information for each of them, is presented in the section “Proposal 1: Election of Directors,” beginning on page 52.

Ms. Burzik, who is an independent director, currently serves as the Chair of the Board. Mr. Serbousek, who is also a director, serves as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that the separation of these two critical roles best serves the Company’s shareholders at this time because it allows our President and Chief Executive Officer to focus on providing leadership over our day-to-day operations while our independent Chair focuses on leadership of the Board.

Our Audit and Finance Committee is a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The committee is responsible for the selection, compensation, and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The committee reviews matters relating to the Company’s internal controls, as well as other matters warranting committee attention. The committee also meets privately, outside the presence of Orthofix management, with our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit and Finance Committee’s report for 2021 is printed below at page 72.

The committee also oversees the Company’s (i) enterprise risk management program, reviews risk assessments, and receives reports from management on risk areas and mitigation plans and (ii) regularly reviews the Company’s cybersecurity and other IT risks, controls, and procedures, including plans to mitigate cybersecurity risks and respond to data breaches.

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit and Finance Committee, a copy of which is available for review on our website at www.orthofix.com.

The Audit and Finance Committee met 10 times during 2021 (either in-person or virtual meetings).

Mr. Burris, Mr. Hinrichs, and Mr. Sicard currently serve as members of the Audit and Finance Committee, with Mr. Hinrichs serving as Chair. Under the current rules of Nasdaq and pursuant to Rule 10A-3 of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act, all of the committee members are independent. The Board has determined that both Mr. Hinrichs and Mr. Burris are “audit committee financial experts” as that term is defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K.

The Compensation and Talent Development Committee is responsible for establishing compensation policies and determining, approving, and overseeing the total compensation packages for our executive officers, including all elements of compensation. The committee administers our Amended and Restated 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2012 LTIP”), the primary equity incentive plan under which we make equity-related awards. In addition, the committee administers our Second Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Plan,

as Amended (the “SPP”), an equity plan under which most of our employees and Directors are eligible to purchase shares of Company common stock.

The Compensation and Talent Development Committee met five times during 2021 (either in-person or virtual meetings).

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Compensation and Talent Development Committee, a copy of which is available for review on our website at www.orthofix.com.

Mr. Hannon, Mr. Paolucci, and Mr. West currently serve as members of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee, with Mr. Paolucci serving as Chair. All of these members (i) are non-employee, non-affiliated, outside directors who have been determined by the Board to be independent under the current rules of Nasdaq and (ii) satisfy the qualification standards of Section 162(m) of the Code, and Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

No interlocking relationship, as defined in the Exchange Act, currently exists, nor existed during 2021, between the Board or Compensation and Talent Development Committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity.

The Compliance and Ethics Committee assists the Board in overseeing the Company’s Corporate Compliance and Ethics Program and the Company’s global compliance with various international and domestic laws and regulations, including those related to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and requirements of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other applicable global anti-corruption laws. The committee also assists the Board in overseeing the Company’s compliance with the Company’s own Corporate Code of Conduct, policies, and procedures.

The Compliance and Ethics Committee met five times in 2021 (either in-person or virtual meetings).

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Compliance and Ethics Committee, a copy of which is available for review on our website at www.orthofix.com.

Mr. Hannon, Ms. Marks, and Mr. Sicard currently serve as members of the Compliance and Ethics Committee, with Mr. Hannon serving as Chair. All of these members have been determined by the Board to be independent under the current rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the SEC.

The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee assists the Board in identifying qualified individuals to become Board members, recommends nominees for election at each annual meeting of shareholders to the Board, develops and recommends the Company’s corporate governance principles and guidelines to the Board, and evaluates potential candidates for executive positions as appropriate. In connection with this role, the committee periodically reviews the composition of the Board in light of the characteristics of independence, skills, experience, and availability of service, with an emphasis on the particular areas of skill and experience needed by the Board at any given time. The committee periodically reviews succession planning with the Chair of the Board and the President and Chief Executive Officer, and makes recommendations to the Board in connection with succession planning. The committee oversees the Board’s annual evaluation process, which includes the completion of questionnaires covering the Board, each committee, and individual director

performance. In addition, the committee oversees the Company’s ESG programs, reviews gap analysis, company initiatives, and receives reports from management on ESG matters.

The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee met five times in 2021 (either in-person or virtual meetings).

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, a copy of which is available for review on our website at www.orthofix.com.

The Board plays an important role in overseeing various risks that we may face from time to time. While the full Board has primary responsibility for risk oversight, it utilizes its committees, as appropriate, to monitor and address the risks that may be within the scope of a particular committee’s expertise or charter. For example, the Audit and Finance Committee oversees our financial statements and receives reports on the Company’s enterprise risk management program, the Compliance and Ethics Committee assists in the Board’s oversight of compliance with certain legal and regulatory requirements, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee oversees the Company’s compensation plans and assures that such plans properly discourage unnecessary and inappropriate risk taking by management, and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee oversees the identification of potential Board or executive candidates and the Company’s ESG programs. The Board believes the composition of its committees, and the distribution of the particular expertise of each committee’s members, makes this an appropriate structure to more effectively monitor these risks.

An important feature of the Board’s risk oversight function is to receive updates from its committees and management, as appropriate. In that regard, the Board regularly receives updates from the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal and Development Officer, and Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, including in connection with material litigation and legal compliance matters. The Board also receives updates at quarterly in-person or virtual Board meetings on committee activities from each committee Chair. In addition, the senior executive of each Company division or business unit periodically reviews and assesses the most significant risks associated with his or her division or unit. These assessments are then aggregated by our management team and presented to the Board. The Board regularly discusses with management these risk assessments and includes risk management and risk mitigation as part of its oversight of the enterprise risk management program and its ongoing strategic planning process.

The Audit and Finance Committee regularly reviews the Company’s cybersecurity, including IT risks, controls, procedures, and plans to mitigate cybersecurity risks and respond to data breaches. The Audit and Finance Committee periodically receives reports at its regularly scheduled meetings from the Chief Information Officer and Director of IT Security and Controls on, among other things, the Company’s cyber risks and threats, the status of projects and management’s strategies to strengthen the Company’s IT systems, assessments of the Company’s security program and third-party assessments and testing, emerging threat landscape, and the review of the Company’s cybersecurity insurance policy. In 2021, the Company was audited by a third-party cybersecurity firm using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard. The Company also

requires that cybersecurity training is part of the onboarding process for new hires and that all employees participate in annual cybersecurity training.

Our Corporate Code of Conduct is available for review on our website at www.orthofix.com under the Corporate Governance caption in the Investors section.

Under the Company’s insider trading policy, all directors, executives, and employees are prohibited from engaging in hedging transactions involving the Company’s common stock, including through the use of financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds. In addition, all such persons are prohibited from holding the Company’s common stock in a margin account or otherwise pledging such shares as collateral for a loan.

To facilitate the ability of shareholders to communicate with the Board, we have established an electronic mailing address and a physical mailing address to which communications may be sent: boardofdirectors@orthofix.com, The Board of Directors, c/o Ms. Catherine M. Burzik, Chair of the Board, Orthofix Medical Inc., 3451 Plano Parkway, Lewisville, TX 75056.

Ms. Burzik reviews all correspondence addressed to the Board and presents to the Board a summary of all such correspondence and forwards to the Board or individual directors, as the case may be, copies of all correspondence that, in the opinion of Ms. Burzik, deals with the functions of the Board or committees thereof or that she otherwise determines requires their attention. Examples of communications that would be logged, but not automatically forwarded, include solicitations for products and services or items of a personal nature not relevant to us or our shareholders. Directors may at any time review the log of all correspondence received by Orthofix that is addressed to members of the Board and request copies of any such correspondence.

As provided in its charter, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee identifies and recommends nominees for election or re-election to the Board and will consider nominations submitted by

shareholders. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee Charter is available for review on our website at www.orthofix.com.

The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee seeks to create a Board that is strong in its collective diversity of skills and experience with respect to finance, research and development, commercialization, sales, distribution, leadership, technologies, and life science industry knowledge. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews with the Board, on an annual basis, the current composition of the Board in light of the characteristics of independence, skills, experience, and availability of service to Orthofix of its members and of anticipated needs. If necessary, we will retain a third party to assist us in identifying or evaluating any potential nominees for director. When the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews a potential new candidate, it looks specifically at the candidate’s qualifications in light of the needs of the Board at that time given the then current mix of director attributes.

As provided for in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in nominating director candidates, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee strives to nominate directors that exhibit high standards of ethics, integrity, commitment, and accountability. In addition, our Corporate Governance Guidelines state that all nominations should attempt to ensure that the Board shall encompass a range of talent, skills, and expertise sufficient to provide sound guidance with respect to our operations and activities. Other than as set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines with respect to the Board’s objective in seeking directors with a range of talent, skills and expertise, the Board and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee do not have a formal policy with respect to the diversity of directors, but seek to ensure composition of the Board meets or exceeds diversity guidelines issued by regulatory agencies and considers the policies and input of institutional investors.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, directors must inform the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee in advance of accepting an invitation to serve on another company’s board of directors. In addition, no director may sit on the board of directors of, or beneficially own a significant financial interest in, any business that is a material competitor of Orthofix. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews any applicable facts and circumstances relating to any such potential conflict of interest and determines in its reasonable discretion whether a conflict exists.

To recommend a nominee, a shareholder shall send notice to The Board of Directors, Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee of Orthofix Medical Inc., 3451 Plano Parkway, Lewisville, TX 75056. This notice should include the candidate’s brief biographical description, a statement of the qualifications of the candidate, taking into account the qualification requirements set forth above and the candidate’s signed consent to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as a director if elected. The notice must be given not later than 180 days before the first anniversary of the last annual meeting of shareholders. Once we receive the recommendation, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee will determine whether to contact the candidate to request that he or she provide us with additional information about the candidate’s independence, qualifications and other information that would assist the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee in evaluating the candidate, as well as certain information that must be disclosed about the candidate in our proxy statement, if nominated. Candidates must respond to our inquiries within the time frame provided in order to be considered for nomination by the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee.

The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee has not received any nominations for director from shareholders for the Annual Meeting.

Since 1980, Orthofix has evolved and grown to become a leading medical device companies focused on spine and orthopedics solutions. Our mission is to deliver innovative, quality-driven solutions while partnering with health care professionals to improve patient mobility. In this pursuit, we are committed to embedding sustainability throughout our business. We believe that all stakeholders must be considered in our actions every day. We approach issues surrounding sustainability with a mindset that is focused on providing superior solutions to physicians worldwide to improve patient mobility.

In 2021, we enhanced our ESG strategy to align with the broader transformation of our business. Our executive leadership team and Board recognized the importance of embedding environmental and social priorities within our business operations and approved an enhanced and modernized ESG strategy intended to drive additional progress on initiatives that promote sustainability. The Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee of the Board provides direct oversight of our practices and reporting with respect to sustainability matters.

This year, we bolstered our ESG Working Group, which is responsible for leading our ESG strategy and monitoring our corporate responsibility initiatives. This group includes cross-functional subject matters experts from across the Company. In addition, the ESG Working Group oversees our sustainability disclosures, including the production of our upcoming Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Fact Sheet. Our senior leadership team is tasked with driving results in these areas. Against this backdrop, we have engaged with our internal and external stakeholders on ESG topics to help further inform our future direction and priorities. The five tenets of our ESG strategy are: (1) Our People (2) Community Involvement, (3) Environmental Responsibility, (4) Governance, (5) Safety and Quality.

Orthofix’s website contains information on our environmental and social policies and programs, including the following:

For more information on our ESG program, or to read our inaugural 2021 SASB Fact Sheet, please visit our corporate website:

The Compensation and Talent Development Committee , comprised entirely of independent, non-management directors, is responsible for establishing and administering the Company’s policies involving the compensation of its executive officers. No member of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee (i) was, during the year ended December 31, 2021, or has previously been, an officer or employee of the Company, or (ii) had any material interest in a transaction with the Company or a business relationship with, or any indebtedness, to the Company. No interlocking relationships existed during the year ended December 31, 2021, between any member of the Board or the Compensation and Talent Development Committee and an executive officer of the Company.

Our policy, which is set forth in our Corporate Code of Conduct and Audit and Finance Committee charter, is that the Audit and Finance Committee will review and approve all related person transactions that meet the minimum threshold for disclosure under the relevant SEC rules (generally, transactions involving amounts exceeding $120,000 in which a related person has a direct or indirect material interest). Other than as described in the paragraph below, the Company did not have any related party transactions meeting this threshold during 2021.

In February 2021, we entered into a technology assignment and royalty agreement with a medical device technology company partially owned and controlled by the wife of President and Chief Executive Officer, Jon Serbousek, whereby we acquired the intellectual property rights to certain assets for consideration of up to $10.0 million. Consideration is comprised of $1.0 million, which was paid at signing and $9.0 million in contingent consideration, dependent upon multiple milestones, such as receipt of 510(k) clearance and the attainment of certain net sales targets. In addition, we will pay a royalty of 2% to 4% on net sales, commencing upon commercialization of the acquired assets. The transaction was approved by our Audit and Finance Committee, with the Audit and Finance Committee directly supervising and directing the negotiation of the transaction. Mr. Serbousek was excluded from such discussions and did not participate in the negotiation or evaluation of the transaction. Mr. Serbousek also continues to be excluded from the oversight of our development and commercialization activities in relation to the acquired technology, and all other matters relating to the relationship between us and the counterparty.

We focus our compensation program for our named executive officers (“NEOs”) and other executives on financial, strategic, and operational goals established by the Board of Directors to create sustained value for our shareholders. Our guiding compensation principle is to pay for performance. Our compensation program is designed to motivate, measure, and reward the successful achievement of our strategic and operating goals without promoting excessive or unnecessary risk taking.

Once again in 2021, a significant portion of our NEOs’ compensation was delivered in equity-based awards. In 2021, we adjusted the mix of our equity awards. Fifty percent of the equity-based awards was delivered via performance stock units (which only vest based upon the Company’s total shareholder return relative to an industry peer group over a three-year performance period), while the other fifty percent of the equity awards was delivered via time-based vesting of restricted stock units.

In addition, a significant portion of our NEOs’ cash compensation was at risk as a result of our annual cash incentive program, which is 100% performance-based. The Compensation and Talent Development Committee (referred to throughout this Compensation Discussion and Analysis as the “Committee”) has consistently set challenging financial performance goals under the annual cash incentive plan that rewards executives for achieving or exceeding the annual operating plan. The approach for setting the financial performance goals under the annual cash incentive plan was similar in 2021 as compared to prior years. Actual performance fell slightly short of the target performance goals, which resulted in slightly lower than target payouts for all NEOs and other executives, demonstrating the Committee’s commitment to its pay-for-performance philosophy as described further below.

Looking forward into 2022, we have expanded the metrics under our annual cash incentive program to also include enterprise objectives relating to ESG metrics, including company-wide goals associated with product safety and community service.

The Committee believes that its overall compensation program for NEOs follows through on the Committee’s pay-for-performance philosophy.

Notable financial results and operational accomplishments in 2021 include the following:

Consistent with shareholder interests and market best practices, our executive compensation program includes the following sound governance features:

The Committee is comprised solely of independent directors. The Committee recommends to the Board for determination by the Board, the President and Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, and discharges the responsibilities of the Board relating to all compensation of the Company’s other executive officers (including equity-based compensation for both executive officers and other key employees). The Committee guides itself in large part by the Executive Compensation Guiding Principles. These guiding principles include an executive compensation philosophy for executives that reflects a meaningful “pay-for-performance” philosophy and seeks to align compensation payouts with the goals of growing our business and increasing shareholder value.

The Executive Compensation Guiding Principles were affirmed by the Committee in June 2021. These guiding principles are as follows:

Management is responsible for effectively communicating the design and administration of the program to employees. Consistent with these principles, the Committee’s compensation philosophy is to fairly compensate executive officers with an emphasis on providing incentives that balance our short-and long-term objectives. As described in more detail below, achievement of short-term financial performance goals is rewarded through annual cash incentive payouts, while grants of performance share units and time-based vesting restricted stock units encourage executive officers to focus on achieving longer-term goals and sustained increases in shareholder value. The Committee retains full discretion to make compensation decisions that differ from the Executive Compensation Guiding Principles, especially when special retention, recruitment or other factors suggest that such changes are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

In implementing this overall “pay-for-performance” compensation philosophy for the Company’s executive officers, the Committee places considerable emphasis on variable elements of pay within the executive compensation program. These variable elements consist of the Company’s annual cash incentive plan, which is intended to reward executive officers for achieving specific financial performance goals during the fiscal year, as well as a long-term incentive plan that consists of both performance-based (50% weighting) and time-based vesting (50% weighting) stock awards. The Committee seeks to provide payouts through the annual cash incentive plan based on actual performance relative to pre-established financial performance goals reflecting strong financial performance by the Company and its business units. Commencing in 2022, these pre-established performance goals will also incorporate certain enterprise objectives relating to ESG metrics, including company-

wide goals associated with product quality and community service. The Committee also seeks to align executives’ interests with shareholders via grants of equity compensation, as the value of these awards is directly commensurate with the fluctuations in the value of the Company’s common stock. In addition to variable compensation programs, executives also receive health and welfare benefits (including our 401(k) plan) that are generally consistent with those provided by companies in our industry peer group and with the level of health and welfare benefits provided to all U.S. based Company employees.

The Committee is responsible for establishing and evaluating compensation policies and determining, approving and evaluating executive compensation, including the total compensation packages for our Section 16 executive officers. The Committee is also responsible for administering the Company’s equity incentive plans and other executive compensation policies and programs. The Committee specifically considers and approves the compensation for the executive officers and recommends for approval of the Board the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer is prohibited from being present during Committee or Board voting or deliberations with respect to his or her own compensation arrangements. The Committee also is responsible for making recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of directors. The Committee relies on the President and Chief Executive Officer to make recommendations on certain aspects of compensation as discussed below. The Committee acts under a written charter adopted by the Board. The Committee reviews its charter annually and recommends any changes to the Board. The charter is available on our website at www.orthofix.com. Mr. Hannon, Mr. Paolucci and Mr. West currently serve as the members of the Committee, with Mr. Paolucci serving as Chair.

Each member of the Committee is an independent, non-employee, non-affiliated, outside director. The Committee has furnished its report below.

At the Committee’s request, from time to time, certain of our senior management present compensation-related initiatives to the Committee. For instance, while the Committee approves all elements of compensation for executive officers, the Committee requests on an annual basis that senior management aid the Committee in fulfilling its duties by facilitating the gathering of information relating to potential financial performance targets and actual performance under our annual cash incentive program as well as possible equity incentive grants. The Committee then reviews this information in connection with it setting annual incentive targets, or making equity compensation grants. Under the Executive Compensation Guiding Principles, management is responsible for compensation decisions related to all persons who are non-Section 16 executive officers, subject to limits established by the Committee (e.g., long-term incentive awards and change in control agreement participation). In this context, the President and Chief Executive Officer has general oversight for the non-executive officer employee compensation process within the Company, and provides input to the Committee in such capacity. The President and Chief Executive Officer also provides the Committee with additional input, perspective, and recommendations in connection with the Committee’s salary determinations for executive officers. The President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal and Development Officer, and Vice President of Human Resources frequently attend meetings of the Committee in these respective capacities. These individuals are excluded from any Committee or Board deliberations or votes regarding their own compensation.

The Committee has the authority under its charter to retain, at the Company’s expense, outside compensation consultants to assist in evaluating compensation. The Committee also has the authority to terminate those engagements. In accordance with this authority and to aid the Committee in fulfilling its duties, the Committee has engaged Mercer LLC (“Mercer”) as its outside compensation consultant since September 2017.

In its role as compensation consultant, Mercer, at the Committee’s request, periodically conducts reviews and recommends updates to our executive officer and director compensation programs and long-term incentive practices.

In connection with their engagement, Mercer reported to the Committee regarding its independence based on the six factors outlined in SEC regulations issued under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The Committee considered these factors and concluded that Mercer is independent and that its engagement by the Committee raised no conflicts of interest.

Decisions related to executive compensation program design and pay levels are informed, in part, by the practices and pay levels of comparable peer organizations. The Committee engages Mercer to conduct an annual executive compensation analysis that provides market competitive levels of total compensation. The assessment used in connection with setting 2021 compensation, which was completed and presented in December 2020, compared Orthofix executive officer compensation levels in comparison with market data to determine whether compensation levels for our executive officers remain consistent with market practice and our compensation philosophy. In conducting the assessment, Mercer made comparisons to our industry peer group and survey data including companies in the life sciences/medical devices industries and technology companies.

In conducting the benchmarking for 2021 pay decisions, Mercer utilized a selection of 17 peer companies. This selection of industry peer companies, or “peer group,” was originally approved by the Committee in the fall of 2017, and has been modified slightly each year since to reflect ownership changes and other factors to produce the best comparison to Orthofix available at that time. The members of the peer group were selected for inclusion principally because of their overall similarity to Orthofix in terms of annual revenue, industry sector/sub-sector, medical technology product lines and international penetration. The peer group for 2021 pay decisions consisted of the following medical technology and device manufacturers and distributors, which we compete against for executive talent:

² Wright Medical Group N.V. was acquired by Styker Corporation in November 2020 and has subsequently been removed from the peer group.

The Committee further updated the peer group in December 2021 in consultation with Mercer, and intends to benchmark future executive compensation decisions against this further updated peer group.

The Company provides its shareholders with the opportunity to cast an annual advisory, non-binding vote on executive compensation (a “say-on-pay proposal”), and subsequently evaluates these results. At the 2021 Annual Meeting, the Company’s say-on-pay proposal was supported by approximately 97% of shares represented at the meeting, which we believe supports the Company’s “pay-for-performance” approach to executive compensation.

The Committee evaluated the results of the vote and believes that the voting results over the course of the last several years (which has included 90% or greater approval votes at each of the Company’s last five annual meetings of shareholders) affirm shareholders’ overall support of the Company’s approach to executive compensation. The Committee believes that its continued efforts to evolve the Company’s compensation programs towards policies viewed by institutional and other shareholders as aligning executive compensation with the interests of shareholders and good corporate governance are reflected in these recent vote results. In addition to responding to the input of shareholders, the Committee also has considered many other factors in designing and evaluating the Company’s executive compensation programs, including the alignment of our compensation programs with our corporate business objectives, periodic analysis of our programs by our compensation consultant, and including an annual review of data versus a comparator group of peer companies. Each of these factors is evaluated in the context of the Committee members’ fiduciary duty to act as the directors determine to be in shareholders’ best interests. Each of these factors informed the Committee’s decisions regarding named executive officers’ compensation for 2021. The Committee will continue to consider feedback from shareholders, including the outcome of the Company’s say-on-pay votes, when making future compensation decisions for its named executive officers.

Our compensation program for executive officers and other key employees consists of three primary elements:

The Committee reviews annually what portion of an executive officer’s total compensation should be in the form of salary, target annual cash bonus opportunity and long-term equity-based incentive compensation. The Committee believes an appropriate mix of these elements, commensurate with our Executive Compensation

Guiding Principles, will assist the Committee in meeting its compensation objectives. As part of its decision making process, the Committee reviews information setting forth all components of the compensation and benefits received by our named executive officers. This information includes a specific review of dollar amounts for salary, target bonus opportunity, and long-term equity-based incentive compensation. In addition, as further described below, we sometimes grant one-time bonuses and stock awards in connection with new hires and promotions, or for retention or special recognition purposes.

The charts below show the annual total target direct compensation (full-year base salary, target annual cash incentive compensation, and long-term equity incentive compensation awards) for our President and Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers for 2021. These charts illustrate that a significant portion of our named executive officer total target direct compensation was performance-based or variable.

The Committee makes annual determinations with respect to the salaries of executive officers. In making these decisions, the Committee considers proxy peer data and/or market survey data for each individual person, with the midpoint of the salary range being the 50^th percentile of the market. The Committee positions actual base salary within the salary range based upon an executive’s experience, performance, and contribution to Orthofix’s success. The Committee endeavors to use the full width of the salary range to differentiate pay.

The 2020 and 2021 annual base salary amounts for our named executive officers were as follows:

⁽¹⁾ Reflects titles and positions held during the 2021 calendar year. In April 2022, Ms. Elting succeeded Mr. Gonsalves as the Company’s President of Global Orthopedics.

⁽²⁾ Amounts shown for 2020 annual base salaries do not reflect the temporary salary reduction that was in place for two months in 2020 in response to the initial uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic; the actual base salary amounts paid to named executive officers in 2020, after giving effect to the 2-month salary reduction that occurred in the second quarter of 2020, are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table on page 37.

⁽³⁾ Reflects the annual base salary amount for Mr. Gonsalves, who was hired on September 11, 2020, rather than actual wages paid to Mr. Gonsalves in 2020.

The Committee believes that a significant portion of the compensation for each executive officer should be in the form of an annual performance-based cash bonus. These bonuses are provided through our annual cash incentive program, which seeks to align any payout to an executive officer with actual financial performance of the Company relative to pre-established financial performance targets.

The Committee is responsible for approving the annual bonus plan design every year. At the outset of each year the Committee establishes target financial performance goals and a range of performance around the target performance goals for which a bonus would be paid as described below. The plan design, metrics, and threshold, target, and maximum goals support the annual corporate operating plan for the year.

As it has done in recent years, the Committee established and approved performance goals at the outset of 2021, which goals were based on net sales and EBITDA targets derived from the Company’s internal budget and financial forecast. The performance goals for Messrs. Serbousek and Rice, and Ms. Elting were based on Company-wide net sales and adjusted EBITDA performance, each weighted at 50%. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA (defined as GAAP-derived net income operations plus net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization) net of credits or charges that were considered by the Committee at the time bonus targets were set to be outside of the normal ongoing operations of the Company. For Messrs. Kenny Gonsalves, these two metrics were each weighted at 25% and 50%, respectively, while net sales for each of Mr. Kenny’s and Mr. Gonsalves’ business segments were each collectively weighted at 25%.

An executive officer could earn from 0% to 150% of his or her targeted bonus based upon actual performance measured against the range of established performance goals. The Committee determined that no payouts would be made for performance below the 50% achievement threshold on any specific goal.

The proposed goals and related matrix were reviewed and approved by the Committee and the Board in January 2021, and performance was then subsequently assessed by the Committee in February 2022. Each of the Committee members at the time of the applicable action participated in and approved these respective determinations.

The table below describes the threshold, target, and maximum performance goals relative to actual achievement for the financial performance metrics described above in 2021.

⁽¹⁾ Committee approval of financial performance targets provided that actual results would be adjusted to eliminate the effect of subsequent currency fluctuations. The amounts shown in the table represent actual reported amounts as adjusted to reflect such pre-approved constant currency adjustments.

⁽¹⁾ Adjusted EBITDA amounts shown above are prior to the inclusion of expense associated with the annual incentive plan.

These resulting payouts of the annual incentive program are described in the table below:

Payouts to the named executive officers under the annual incentive program are reflected in column (g) of the “Summary Compensation Table.”

In accordance with the Executive Compensation Guiding Principles, the creation of sustainable shareholder value by means of equity incentive awards is a very important element of the total compensation provided to executive officers.

Our primary equity compensation plan is the 2012 LTIP, which our shareholders most recently approved in July 2018. As of April 7, 2022, 738,337 shares remained available for grant pursuant to this plan. As further described under “Proposal 3: Approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated 2012 LTIP,” at the Annual Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to consider, and, if thought fit, approve an amendment to the 2012 LTIP to replenish the shares available for awards under the plan by 1,325,000 shares. We request that shareholders support this proposal given that equity is a key component of our pay-for-performance philosophy and equity grants best align and engage our leadership team with shareholder value creation.

The Committee administers this plan and only the Committee makes long-term incentive plan grants to named executive officers. In addition, the Committee occasionally makes inducement grants (in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules) to newly hired employees outside of shareholder approved plans, as it did in 2020 in connection with the hiring of Mr. Gonsalves, in 2019 with the hiring of Mr. Serbousek, and in 2018 in connection with the acquisition of Spinal Kinetics, Inc. These inducement grants have been made on terms that are substantially similar to grants under the 2012 LTIP.

In 2021, the Committee granted two types of equity incentive awards to executive officers: (i) time-based vesting restricted stock units (RSUs), and (ii) performance-based vesting stock units.

In accordance with the Executive Compensation Guiding Principles, equity incentive awards currently follow the following principles:

In 2021, all time-based vesting awards were granted in the form of RSUs. In prior years, the Company granted time-based vesting awards in the form of both RSUs and stock options. Under the Company’s operative agreements with executive officers, the unvested portion of any time-based grant is forfeited if an employee voluntarily ceases employment prior to vesting. In the event that an employee is terminated by the Company with or without cause, any remaining unvested portion of the grant is forfeited. In the event an employee dies or suffers a long-term disability, the full grant vests. In all of the foregoing circumstances, vested stock options are subject to a limited post-employment exercise period, which ranges from 3 to 18 months depending on the circumstance. In the case of stock options held by employees who remain continuously employed, the options expire and are no longer exercisable 10 years from the grant date. Should a change in control occur while a grantee remains employed, unvested portions of the grant will accelerate only if the employee separates from employment in specific circumstances within 24 months of the change in control. As discussed previously, time-based stock options are no longer granted to the Company’s executive officers as part of their annual equity incentive awards; this practice concluded beginning in 2021.

Since 2017, the Committee has granted 50% of executive officer(s) total annual equity award value in the form of performance stock units (“PSUs”). The PSUs granted between 2017 and 2021 have been structured so that they are earned based on the TSR of the Company’s common stock relative to other companies in an applicable industry index during a three-year performance period following the date of grant. TSR is determined by (i) the change in share price and (ii) the payment of dividends and other distributions on a company’s shares during the performance period. TSR is measured using the average closing price during the 20 days preceding each of the beginning and the end of the performance period. For awards made from 2016 through 2020, the Committee used the S&P Healthcare Equipment Select Industry Index as the applicable industry index. Beginning with the 2021 awards, the Committee has utilized the S&P 600 Health Care Equipment & Services Industry Group Index as the applicable industry index. The Committee concluded the companies comprising this index are more closely aligned with Orthofix based upon comparisons of market capitalization, payment of dividends, and other criteria. Achieved vesting percentages are based on the following criteria:

In the event that the Company’s TSR percentile rank for the performance period falls between any of the amounts set forth above (to the extent greater than the threshold and lower than the maximum), the vesting percentage will be determined by linear interpolation between such amounts.

The PSU award agreement provides that the vesting percentage may not exceed 100% if the Company’s absolute TSR during the performance period is negative. In addition, the vesting percentage is capped such that the PSU award will never trigger the issuance of shares with a vesting date fair market value of more than five times the fair market value of the target award on the date of grant. Following the end of the three-year performance period, the shares that vest are subject to a one-year holding period requirement. Generally, if an executive voluntarily ceases employment without “good reason” or “qualified retirement” eligibility prior to the end of the three-year performance period, the entire award is forfeited.

The three-year performance period for the Company’s 2018 grant of performance stock units concluded in April 2021. The Company achieved a cumulative TSR over the performance period of (-23.80%), which ranked at the 14^th percentile relative to the companies in the applicable index, and thus did not meet the minimum threshold to vest in the award. As such, the awards were forfeited upon the conclusion of the performance period.

The Committee currently reviews and approves value-based awards for executive officer equity incentive grants at its March meeting, with the grant effective date being the first business day of April, and the number of shares/units underlying each award (and the exercise price for stock options) based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on such effective date.

Generally, the Committee’s approval of annual equity incentive grants occurs at a time when the Company’s insider trading window for executives is open. However, in the event that grants are approved when such window is closed, the Committee does not seek to affect the value of grants by timing them in relation to the release or non-release of material public information.

Our executive officers are entitled to or may otherwise be the beneficiaries of certain limited perquisites and other personal benefits, which have a collective value of less than $10,000 per year. However, in addition to other benefits as discussed within the Summary Compensation Table on page 37, our President and Chief Executive Officer received relocation benefits in excess of $10,000 in 2021 and 2020, and our President of Global Spine and President of Global Orthopedics, each received relocation benefits in 2020 in excess of $10,000. Among other things, perquisites and benefits provided to our executive officers generally include reimbursement for tax preparation expenses, estate planning expenses, an annual physical exam, and reimbursement of expenses relating to travel for a significant other in connection with one Board meeting per year. We believe our perquisites to be consistent with the market practices for similarly situated companies. Under our Executive Compensation Guiding Principles, the payment of any perquisite generally requires the approval of the Committee.

Executive officers participate in our health and welfare benefits (including our 401(k) plan) on the same basis as other similarly situated U.S. employees. In April 2020, as a precautionary measure to increase the Company’s cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the initial uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company temporarily suspended the 401(k) match program for all participants through December 31, 2020. The 401(k) match program was reinstated in January 2021.

As described further below, executive compensation for our executive officers is reviewed and established annually by the Committee, which consists solely of independent directors. The Committee’s compensation decisions are intended to reflect its ongoing commitment to strong compensation governance, which the Committee believes is reflected in the following elements of our executive compensation program:

• Use of Independently Prepared Competitive Assessments — The practice of the Committee is to engage the Company’s compensation consultant to prepare an independent executive compensation competitive assessment to measure our program against companies in our industry peer group, as well as and other survey data. The Committee takes these results into consideration (among other factors) in approving our executive compensation program.

• Compensation Recoupment (Clawback) Policy — Our long-term incentive plan incorporates a compensation recoupment, or “clawback” policy, which applies to all of our executive officers in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance by Orthofix, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. Under the policy, upon such a restatement, each executive officer is required to reimburse Orthofix for (i) any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received by such executive officer during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever first occurs) of the financial document that contained such materially noncompliant information, and (ii) any profits realized from the sale of our securities of during that 12-month period.

The impact of accounting treatment is considered in developing and implementing our compensation programs, including the accounting treatment as it applies to amounts awarded or paid to our executive officers.

The impact of federal tax laws on our compensation programs is also considered, including the deductibility of compensation paid to the named executive officers, as limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. Our compensation program historically has been designed with the intention that compensation paid in various forms may be eligible to qualify for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code, but there have been and may be other exceptions for administrative or other reasons. However, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the exception under Section 162(m) for performance-based compensation and expanded the number of employees who may be covered by these deductibility limitations, which may have an effect on how we design future compensation programs and may affect the financial statement impact of executive compensation payments.

The Compensation and Talent Development Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with the members of management of the Company and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s proxy statement.

The following table sets forth the compensation earned by or paid to our named executive officers for each of the last three fiscal years during which the officer was a named executive officer.

The following table provides information about the number of shares issued upon option exercises, and the value realized upon exercise, or upon the vesting of restricted stock/restricted stock units, and the value realized upon vesting, by our named executive officers during fiscal 2021.

⁽¹⁾ Value realized on exercise calculated based on the difference between the closing price of our common stock on the date of exercise and the option exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares exercised.

⁽²⁾ Value determined by multiplying the number of vested shares/units by the closing price of our common stock on the vesting date.

Under our current Executive Compensation Guiding Principles, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee provides executive officers with competitive change in control and non-change in control severance benefits that target market practices. All new change in control agreements, and any changes to existing arrangements, must be approved by the Compensation and Talent Development Committee.

Unless required by applicable law, the Company does not enter into employment agreements with executive officers. Instead, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee offers a change in control and severance agreement to executive officers. All current executive officers are parties to this standard form of change in control and severance agreement.

Pursuant to the change in control and severance agreement, executive officers are eligible to receive the following cash severance payments and benefits upon termination of their employment (i) for death or disability, (ii) by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the agreement) or (iii) by the executive for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement):

Orthofix’s obligation to pay or provide any severance benefits under each agreement (other than any benefits as a result of death) is conditioned upon the executive officer signing a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates by a specified date following separation from employment. The agreement contains non-competition and non-solicitation covenants effective so long as the executive is an employee and for a period of 12 or 18 months, depending on the executive, after employment is terminated.

Pursuant to the change in control and severance agreement, and the related award agreements, executive officers are eligible to receive the following equity-based vesting benefits upon termination of their employment (i) for death or disability, (ii) by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the agreement) or (iii) by the executive for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement):

The right to receive cash payments and benefits following a change in control is subject to a “double trigger” provision, such that payments by the Company are only owed if the executive separates from employment in specific circumstances in connection with or following a change in control.

These agreements reflect that the named executive officer is not entitled to a tax gross-up if the named executive officer incurs an excise tax due to the application of Section 280G of the Code.

Instead, to the extent that any payment or benefit received in connection with a change in control would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, such payments and/or benefits will be subject to a “best pay cap” reduction if such reduction would result in a greater net after-tax benefit to the executive than receiving the full amount of such payments.

The following table reflects the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to each of Messrs. Serbousek, Rice, Kenny, and Gonsalves and Ms. Elting upon his or her termination or upon a change in control pursuant to the terms of his or her respective change in control and severance agreement and related equity award agreements. For purposes of this table, we assume that the triggering event took place on December 31, 2021, and the price per share of our common stock was $31.09, the closing market price as of that date. For any triggering event that presupposes a change in control, we assume a change in control has so occurred.

⁽¹⁾ In the event of a termination for death or disability, the executive would receive acceleration of all time-based restricted stock/restricted stock units and stock options, and outstanding performance stock units would be deemed vested and achieved at target levels. Amount in table reflects the value of all such accelerated shares (which in the case of stock options, is based on spread value) as of December 31, 2021.

⁽²⁾ The Company’s performance stock unit agreement provides that stock units will vest upon the Company meeting certain total shareholder return targets in relation to specified index companies over a three-year performance period following the date of grant. In the event that the award recipient’s service is terminated during the performance period by the Company without cause or by the award recipient for good reason, the award recipient will remain eligible to earn a pro rata portion of the award based on the product of (i) the percentage of the three-year performance period that the award recipient remained in service and (ii) the Company’s ultimate achievement percentage of the performance targets. For purposes of this table, we have included a value for performance stock units as of December 31, 2021 that assumes that the performance targets would ultimately be achieved at the target level, though actual achievement could be greater or lesser than this amount. As of December 31, 2021, all outstanding performance stock units tracked below threshold levels based on the Company's total shareholder return since the beginning of each applicable performance period, which would result in a value of $0 if such threshold were not exceeded prior to the end of the applicable performance period.

⁽³⁾ Under the Company’s performance stock unit agreements, in the event of a change in control, (i) performance goals will be deemed achieved at the greater of target or the percentage achievement that the awards were on pace to achieve as of the consummation of the change in control, and (ii) if such awards are assumed or continued in connection with the change in control, the awards become time-based awards that vest upon the (x) executive’s continued service through the end of the original performance period or (y) the executive’s earlier death, disability, termination by the Company without cause or termination by the executive for good reason. As of December 31, 2021, all outstanding performance stock units tracked below threshold levels based on the Company's total shareholder return since the beginning of each applicable performance period, which would result in a value of $0 if such threshold were not exceeded prior to the end of the applicable performance period. The amounts shown in the table therefore show the value of these awards if performance goals were achieved at target, which would occur under the terms of the awards in the event of a change in control assuming that a change in control occurred at a time when awards were tracking below target levels.

Presented below is the ratio of 2021 annual total compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer to the 2021 annual total compensation of our median employee. The ratio presented below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

Because we did not have any changes in population or employee compensation arrangements that would significantly impact this disclosure, we have used the same median employee identified in 2020 for our 2021 calculation.

We selected the median employee in 2020 based on an analysis of full-time, part-time, temporary and seasonal workers employed by the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020.

The 2021 annual total compensation as determined under Item 402 of Regulation S-K for our CEO was $5,112,586. The 2021 annual total compensation as determined under Item 402 of Regulation S-K for our median employee was $76,717. The ratio of our CEO’s annual total compensation to our median employee’s total compensation for fiscal year 2021 was 67 to 1.

Directors are elected each year at the annual meeting of shareholders, which is usually held in June. Other director appointments occur from time to time as determined by the Board, for instance, in the event of vacancies on the Board resulting from a director’s death, resignation or retirement.

Employee directors, such as Mr. Serbousek, are not provided any additional compensation for their service as a director.

We compensate our non-employee directors in accordance with the Company’s Director Compensation Guiding Principles. Our compensation program for our non-employee directors is designed to appropriately compensate outside directors for their diverse expertise and time commitment required to serve as a director of a complex and highly regulated global company. The Compensation and Talent Development Committee is responsible for overseeing our non-employee director compensation program. The Compensation and Talent Development Committee’s goal for such oversight is to maintain a program that:

Unless determined otherwise by the Board of Directors, our non-employee director compensation program each year will consist of an annual cash retainer and annual equity awards, as well as customary and usual expense reimbursement in attending company meetings or attending director training. The Compensation and Talent Development Committee reviews the competitiveness of non-employee director compensation relative to the same peer group used to review executive officer compensation levels.

Each non-employee director receives the same base cash retainer amount, but additional cash retainer amounts are paid to the Chair of the Board and the chairperson of each Board committee. Non-employee directors (other than the Chair) are paid an aggregate annual cash retainer of $70,000 for service as a director and member of any committees of the Board on which such director sits. In addition, such directors receive an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000 if they also serve as the Chair of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee, Compliance and Ethics Committee, or Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, and $15,000 if they serve as the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee. The Chair of the Board is paid an aggregate annual retainer of $137,500 for service in this role.

We provide non-employee directors long-term incentive compensation under our 2012 LTIP to closely align directors with shareholder interests. Currently, we pay non-employee directors long-term incentive compensation in two forms:

As a result of the deferred delivery feature of the annual grant, directors are not able to sell those awards, even if vested, while they continue service as a director.

Directors are eligible to participate in our health and welfare programs on substantially the same terms as full-time employees. In addition, directors are each offered the opportunity to enter into a director indemnification agreement.

The following table provides information regarding the 2021 compensation of non-employee directors.

Our primary equity compensation plan is our 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended, which was approved by our shareholders in 2012. All named executive officers and directors are also eligible at their discretion to acquire shares of common stock pursuant to our SPP. Each of these plans have been approved by our shareholders. In limited cases, we have also made inducement grants of stock options and restricted stock awards to new employees in reliance on the Nasdaq exception to shareholder approval for such grants. For more information on our equity compensation plans, see “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Executive Compensation—Long-Term Equity-Based Incentives” beginning on page 31.

The following table provides aggregate information regarding the shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options and rights under all of our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2021.

Our Bylaws provides that the Board shall consist of not less than six and no more than fifteen directors, the exact number to be determined from time-to-time by resolution of the Board. The Board is currently comprised of nine seats. We have nominated Mr. Burris, Ms. Burzik, Mr. Hannon, Mr. Hinrichs, Ms. Marks, Mr. Paolucci, Mr. Serbousek, Mr. Sicard, and Mr. West to stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Each of the nine seats will be elected for a one year term expiring at the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders and/or until their successors have been elected.

We know of no reason why any nominee may be unable to serve as a director. If any nominee is unable to serve, your proxy may vote for another nominee proposed by the Board, or the Board may reduce the number of directors to be elected. If any director resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve out his term, the Board may fill the vacancy until the next annual meeting of shareholders.

The following graphics highlight the diversity and qualifications of our directors, both individually and in the aggregate.

Further, the following diversity matrix is provided in accordance with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements:

As required by section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing our shareholders an opportunity to indicate whether they support our named executive officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This advisory and non-binding vote, commonly referred to as “say-on-pay,” is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but instead relates to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the tabular disclosures regarding named executive officer compensation, and the narrative disclosure accompanying the tabular presentation. These disclosures allow you to view the trends in our executive compensation program and the application of our compensation philosophies for the years presented. Because our Board views the advisory vote as a good corporate governance practice, and because a majority of our shareholders have expressed a preference for an annual advisory vote, we hold such votes on an annual basis. At the 2021 annual meeting, the Company’s say-on-pay proposal was supported by approximately 97% of shares represented at the meeting, which we believe supports the Company’s “pay-for-performance” approach to executive compensation. The Committee evaluated these results of the vote in June 2021.

The Committee believes that the voting results over the course of the last several years (which has included 90% or greater approval votes at each of the Company’s last five annual meetings of shareholders) affirm shareholders’ overall support of the Company’s approach to executive compensation, including continuing efforts by the Committee during that time to evolve the Company’s compensation programs towards policies viewed by institutional and other shareholders as aligning executive compensation with the interests of shareholders and good corporate governance. In addition to responding to the input of shareholders, the Committee also has considered many other factors in evaluating and setting the Company’s executive compensation programs, including the Committee’s assessment of the interaction of our compensation programs with our corporate business objectives, periodic analysis of our programs by our compensation consultant, and annual review of data versus a comparator group of peer companies, each of which is evaluated in the context of the Committee members’ fiduciary duty to act as the directors determine to be in shareholders’ best interests. Each of these factors informed the Compensation and Talent Development Committee’s decisions regarding named executive officers’ compensation for 2021. The Committee will continue to consider feedback from shareholders, including the outcome of the Company’s say-on-pay votes, when making future compensation decisions for its named executive officers.

As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement, we believe that our executive compensation program properly links executive compensation to Company performance and aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the related footnotes and narrative disclosures.”

Although this vote is advisory and is not binding on the Company, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of the Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions.

At the meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and approve the adoption of Amendment No. 3 to the 2012 LTIP (the “LTIP Amendment"), increasing the number of shares of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") authorized under the plan by 1,325,000 shares. As of the record date, April 7, 2022, 738,337 shares of Common Stock authorized by the 2012 LTIP remained available for grant (assuming all currently outstanding performance share units ultimately are achieved at target levels).

The 2012 LTIP was originally approved by our shareholders at the Company's 2012 annual meeting, and amendments further increasing the number of shares authorized under the plan were subsequently approved at the Company's 2015, 2018, 2020, and 2021 annual meetings. In total, 7,050,000 shares of Common Stock have been authorized under the 2012 LTIP since its implementation in 2012.

The Board has adopted the LTIP Amendment (following the recommendation of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee), subject to approval from our shareholders. We are asking our shareholders to approve the LTIP Amendment as we believe that its approval is essential to our continued success. The purpose of the 2012 LTIP is to provide eligible employees and non-employee directors an incentive to contribute to the success of the Company and to operate and manage our business in a manner that will provide for the Company's long term growth and profitability and provide a means of attracting, motivating, rewarding and retaining key employees and non-employee directors. In the judgment of the Board, awards under the 2012 LTIP (including the LTIP Amendment) will be a valuable incentive and will serve to the ultimate benefit of our shareholders by aligning more closely the interests of award recipients with those of our shareholders.

If our shareholders approve the LTIP Amendment, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2012 LTIP will be increased by 1,325,000 shares. The LTIP Amendment does not otherwise amend any existing terms of the 2012 LTIP. As further described below, key features of the existing 2012 LTIP include (i) 12-month minimum vesting provisions on at least 95% of awards, (ii) prohibitions of stock option and SARs repricings without shareholder approval except in the case of corporate transactions, (iii) provides for default treatment of “double-trigger” accelerated vesting following a change in control in which awards are assumed, which requires both a change in control of the Company and a specified termination of employment in order for vesting to be accelerated for assumed, converted or replaced awards, (iv) awards under the plan are subject to the Company's "clawback" policy, as well as separate reimbursement provisions under the plan applying to circumstances where a participant participated or was grossly negligent in misconduct that caused a financial restatement, (v) prohibitions on the current payment of dividends (and dividend equivalents) on unvested awards, and (vi) limits on the maximum total compensation (including cash payments and the aggregate grant date value of awards) that may be granted in a fiscal year to a non-employee director.

As of April 12, 2022, 628,401 shares of Common Stock authorized by the 2012 LTIP remained available for grant (assuming all currently outstanding performance share units ultimately are achieved at target levels). The following table provides a summary of our shares subject to outstanding equity awards and of shares available for future grants as of April 12, 2022, if the LTIP Amendment is approved:

Based on projected share needs to execute the Company's long-term incentive program moving forward, if approved, the share increase is anticipated to provide enough shares for the next year. The actual number of years for which the share reserve will be sufficient may be influenced by various factors, including changes in our grant practices, business and market conditions, or stock price, and tax, legal and regulatory developments. If our shareholders do not approve the LTIP Amendment, the Company will continue to grant awards under the 2012 LTIP until there are no longer any shares available for grant, following which the Company could be restricted in its ability to successfully attract and retain highly skilled employees, including members of its management team. The alternative to using equity awards for retention and incentive purposes would be to increase cash compensation. The Compensation and Talent Development Committee does not believe increasing cash compensation to make up for any shortfall in equity awards would be practicable or advisable because the Committee believes that a combination of equity awards and cash compensation provides a more effective compensation vehicle than cash alone for attracting, retaining and motivating employees and that equity awards align employee and shareholder interests.

In determining the number of shares to be reserved for issuance under the 2012 LTIP , the Compensation and Talent Development Committee and the Board of Directors considered the following:

A description of the material provisions of the 2012 LTIP, as currently in effect (referred to below as the "Plan"), is set forth below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement/prospectus. As noted earlier, the proposed LTIP Amendment would make no changes to the Plan, except to increase the number of shares available for issuance by 1,325,000 shares.

Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of the Board of Directors. The members of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act and comply with the independence requirements of current Nasdaq listing standards. In addition, to the extent necessary to satisfy any transition rule or applicable transition guidance pertaining to awards intended to satisfy the criteria for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, the committee administering such awards will consist of two or more directors who qualify as “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) and the applicable guidance thereunder. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee may select participants to receive awards, determine the types and amounts of awards and terms and conditions of awards, and interpret provisions of the Plan. Members of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may also appoint one or more separate committees, each composed of one or more directors who need not satisfy the independence requirements described above to administer the Plan with respect to employees or other service providers who are not officers or directors of the Company. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee may, by resolution, delegate some or all of its authority with respect to the Plan and awards to the President and Chief Executive Officer and/or any other officer of the Company designated by the Compensation and Talent Development Committee, provided that the officer delegated such authority may not make grants to Company directors, to “executive officers” (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act), or to himself or herself. In addition, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee may not delegate its authority to interpret the Plan, any award or any award agreement.

Common Stock Reserved for Issuance under the Plan. The common stock issued or to be issued under the Plan consists of authorized but unissued shares or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, issued shares that have been reacquired by the Company. The Plan provides for a so-called “fungible share pool” pursuant to which awards of options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) will be counted against the plan limit as one share for every one share subject to an option or SAR granted under the plan, and “full value” awards (all awards other than options and SARs) will be counted against the plan limit as 1.84 shares for every one share subject to such full value award. If any shares covered by an award under the Plan are not purchased or are forfeited, or if an award otherwise terminates without delivery of any common stock, then the number of shares of common stock counted against the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan with respect to the award will again be available for making awards under the Plan in accordance with the previously described fungible share pool. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan will not be increased by (i) any shares tendered or withheld or award surrendered in connection with the purchase of shares of common stock upon exercise of an option or SAR, (ii) any shares of common stock that were not issued upon the net settlement or net exercise of an option or stock-settled SAR, (iii) any shares of common stock deducted from an award payment in connection with the Company’s tax withholding obligations, or (iv) any shares of common stock purchased by the Company with proceeds from option or SAR exercises.

Eligibility. Awards may be made under the Plan to directors, or employees of or consultants to the Company or any of our affiliates, including any such employee who is an officer or director of us or of any affiliate.

Minimum Vesting Provisions. Except with respect to a maximum of 5% of the shares that may be granted under the Plan, no portion of any award that vests on the basis of a grantee’s continued service may be granted with vesting conditions under which vesting occurs earlier than the one year anniversary of the grant date, and no portion of any award that vests based upon the attainment of performance measures may be granted with a performance period of less than 12 months. (Certain substitute awards that the Company may assume in corporate transactions are not subject to this provision.) The Compensation and Talent Development Committee may, however, provide for the earlier vesting, exercisability, and/or settlement under any award in the event of a grantee’s death, disability or retirement in connection with a corporate transaction.

Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board of Directors may terminate or amend the Plan at any time and for any reason. The Plan shall terminate on June 18, 2028, 10 years after the date that shareholders last approved an amended and restated version of the Plan. Amendments will be submitted for shareholder approval to the extent required by the Code or other applicable laws, rules or regulations.

Options. The Plan permits the granting of options to purchase shares of common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code and options that do not qualify as incentive stock options.

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions. Unless an applicable award agreement provides otherwise, certain change in control transactions involving us, such as a sale of the Company, will cause grantees of restricted stock, stock units, stock appreciation rights and options to become fully vested, unless the awards are continued or substituted for in connection with the change in control transaction. For awards based on the satisfaction of performance conditions (“Performance Awards”) that are denominated in shares of common stock or stock

units, if less than half of the performance period has lapsed, such Performance Awards will be converted into restricted stock or stock units assuming target performance has been achieved (or into unrestricted shares of common stock if no further restrictions apply). If more than half the performance period has lapsed, such Performance Awards will be converted into restricted stock or stock units based on actual performance to date (or into unrestricted shares of common stock if no further restrictions apply). If actual performance is not determinable, such Performance Awards will be converted into restricted stock or stock units assuming target performance has been achieved, based on the discretion of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee (or into unrestricted shares of common stock if no further restrictions apply).

Adjustments for Stock Dividends and Similar Events. The Compensation and Talent Development Committee will make appropriate adjustments in outstanding awards and the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, including the individual limitations on awards (described below), to reflect stock splits and other similar events.

Section 162(m) of the Code. Following the ratification of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"), Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1.0 million in any taxable year to any person who has served as chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or as one of its three other most highly compensated executive officers in any fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2016 (our covered employees). Prior to the ratification of the Tax Act, Section 162(m) disallowed a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1.0 million in any taxable year to its chief executive officer and each of its three other most highly compensated executive officers, other than its chief financial officer, unless such compensation qualified as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of the Code. The changes under Section 162(m) are generally effective for taxable years beginning in 2018, but there is a grandfather rule for compensation paid pursuant to a written, binding contract that was in effect on November 2, 2017, which was not modified in any material respect on or after that date.

As a result of the changes imposed by the Tax Act, the Plan does not contain all of the provisions providing for grants of “performance-based compensation” under the legacy Section 162(m) provisions that the Plan contained prior to ratification of the Tax Act. However, the Plan does permit the Compensation and Talent Development Committee to provide that vesting of any of the awards that may be granted under the Plan may be made subject to the achievement of performance metrics determined by the Compensation and Talent Development Committee, which metrics may include, but are not limited to: (i) net earnings or net income; (ii) operating earnings; (iii) pretax earnings; (iv) earnings per share; (v) share price, including growth measures and total shareholder return; (vi) earnings before interest and taxes; (vii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization; (viii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization as adjusted to exclude any one or more of the following: stock-based compensation expense; income from discontinued operations; gain on cancellation of debt; debt extinguishment and related costs; restructuring, separation and/or integration charges and costs; reorganization and/or recapitalization charges and costs; impairment charges; gain or loss related to investments; sales and use tax settlement; and gain on non-monetary transactions; (ix) sales or revenue growth, whether in general, by type of product or service, or by type of customer; (x) gross or operating margins; (xi) return measures, including return on assets, capital, investment, equity, sales or revenue; (xii) cash flow, including: operating cash flow; free cash flow, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization (as adjusted to exclude any one or more of the items that may be excluded pursuant to the Performance Measure specified in clause (viii) above) less capital expenditures; levered free cash flow, defined as free cash flow less interest expense; cash flow return on equity; and cash flow return on investment; (xiii) productivity ratios; (xiv) expense targets; (xv) market share; (xvi)

financial ratios as provided in credit agreements of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (xvii) working capital targets; (xviii) completion of acquisitions of businesses or companies; (xix) completion of divestitures and asset sales; and (xx) any combination of the foregoing business criteria.

Share Limits. The maximum number of shares of common stock subject to options or SARs that can be granted under the Plan to any person who is not a non-employee director is 400,000 per 12-month period, provided that in a grantee’s year of hire the applicable limit is 800,000. The maximum number of shares of common stock that can be granted under the Plan to any person who is not a non-employee director, other than pursuant to an option or SAR, is 200,000 per 12-month period, provided that in a grantee’s year of hire the applicable limit is 400,000. The maximum amount that may be paid as an annual incentive award or other cash award in any 12-month period to any one person who is not a non-employee director is $3,000,000 and the maximum amount that may be paid as a performance award or other cash award in respect of a performance period greater than 12 months to any one person who is not a non-employee director is $6,000,000.

The maximum total compensation (including cash payments and the aggregate grant date fair value of awards that may be granted under the Plan) that may be paid to or granted in a 12-month period to a non-employee director for such director’s service on the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors is $1,000,000.

Incentive Stock Options. The grant of an option will not be a taxable event for the grantee or for the Company. A grantee will not recognize taxable income upon exercise of an incentive stock option (except that the alternative minimum tax may apply), and any gain realized upon a disposition of our common stock received pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option will be taxed as long-term capital gain if the grantee holds the shares of common stock for at least two years after the date of grant and for one year after the date of exercise (the “holding period requirement”). We will not be entitled to any business expense deduction with respect to the exercise of an incentive stock option, except as discussed below.

For the exercise of an option to qualify for the foregoing tax treatment, the grantee generally must be our employee or an employee of our subsidiary from the date the option is granted through a date within three months before the date of exercise of the option.

If all of the foregoing requirements are met except the holding period requirement mentioned above, the grantee will recognize ordinary income upon the disposition of the common stock in an amount generally equal to the excess of the fair market value of the common stock at the time the option was exercised over the option exercise price (but not in excess of the gain realized on the sale). The balance of the realized gain, if any, will be capital gain. We will be allowed a business expense deduction to the extent the grantee recognizes ordinary income, subject to the one million dollar limitation imposed by Section 162(m), described above, and to certain reporting requirements.

Non-Qualified Options. The grant of an option will not be a taxable event for the grantee or the Company. Upon exercising a non-qualified option, a grantee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise. Upon a subsequent sale or exchange of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a non-qualified option, the grantee will have taxable capital gain or loss, measured by the difference between the amount realized on the

disposition and the tax basis of the shares of common stock (generally, the amount paid for the shares plus the amount treated as ordinary income at the time the option was exercised).

If we comply with applicable reporting requirements, we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income, subject to the one million dollar limitation imposed by Section 162(m).

A grantee who has transferred a non-qualified option to a family member by gift will realize taxable income at the time the non-qualified option is exercised by the family member. The grantee will be subject to withholding of income and employment taxes at that time. The family member’s tax basis in the shares of common stock will be the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date the option is exercised. The transfer of vested non-qualified options will be treated as a completed gift for gift and estate tax purposes. Once the gift is completed, neither the transferred options nor the shares acquired on exercise of the transferred options will be includable in the grantee’s estate for estate tax purposes.

In the event a grantee transfers a non-qualified option to his or her ex-spouse incident to the grantee's divorce, neither the grantee nor the ex-spouse will recognize any taxable income at the time of the transfer. In general, a transfer is made “incident to divorce” if the transfer occurs within one year after the marriage ends or if it is related to the end of the marriage (for example, if the transfer is made pursuant to a divorce order or settlement agreement). Upon the subsequent exercise of such option by the ex-spouse, the ex-spouse will recognize taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time of exercise. Any distribution to the ex-spouse as a result of the exercise of the option will be subject to employment and income tax withholding at this time.

Restricted Stock. A grantee who is awarded restricted stock will not recognize any taxable income for federal income tax purposes in the year of the award, provided that the shares of common stock are subject to restrictions (that is, the restricted stock is nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture). However, the grantee may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize compensation income in the year of the award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the award (less the purchase price, if any), determined without regard to the restrictions. If the grantee does not make such a Section 83(b) election, the fair market value of the common stock on the date the restrictions lapse (less the purchase price, if any) will be treated as compensation income to the grantee and will be taxable in the year the restrictions lapse and dividends paid while the common stock is subject to restrictions will be subject to withholding taxes. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements, and subject to the one million dollar deduction limitation of Section 162(m), we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

Stock Units. There are no immediate tax consequences of receiving an award of stock units under the Plan. A grantee who is awarded stock units will be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of shares issued to such grantee at the end of the restriction period or, if later, the payment date. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements, and subject to the one million dollar deduction limitation of Section 162(m), we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

Dividend Equivalent Rights. Participants who receive dividend equivalent rights will be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount distributed to the grantee pursuant to the award. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements, and subject to the one million dollar deduction limitation of Section 162(m), we will be

entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

Stock Appreciation Rights. There are no immediate tax consequences of receiving an award of stock appreciation rights under the Plan. Upon exercising a stock appreciation right, a grantee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and subject to the one million dollar deduction limitation of Section 162(m), we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

Performance and Annual Incentive Awards. The award of a performance or annual incentive award will have no federal income tax consequences for us or for the grantee. The payment of the award is taxable to a grantee as ordinary income. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements, and subject to the one million dollar deduction limitation of Section 162(m), we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

Unrestricted Common Stock. Participants who are awarded unrestricted common stock will be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of the award, reduced by the amount, if any, paid for such shares. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and subject to the one million dollar deduction limitation of Section 162(m), we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

Section 280G. To the extent payments which are contingent on a change in control are determined to exceed certain Code limitations, they may be subject to a 20% nondeductible excise tax and the Company’s deduction with respect to the associated compensation expense may be disallowed in whole or in part. The Plan includes a Section 280G “best after tax” provision, meaning, if any of the payments under the Plan or otherwise would constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the payments will be reduced by the amount required to avoid the excise tax if such a reduction would give the grantee a better after-tax result than if the grantee received the payments in full.

Section 409A. The Company intends for awards granted under the plan to comply with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent a grantee would be subject to the additional 20% excise tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans as a result of a provision of an award under the plan, the provision will be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of the 20% excise tax.

No awards have been granted to any officer, director, employee or consultant pursuant to the Plan that are contingent upon the approval by our shareholders of the LTIP Amendment. We anticipate that performance stock units, restricted stock units, and stock options may be granted in the discretion of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee under the Plan out of the additional shares of common stock to be available under the Plan in connection with the approval of the proposed LTIP Amendment; however, the number and type of equity-based awards that may be so granted has not yet been determined.

We are asking you to ratify the Audit and Finance Committee’s selection of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2021. EY has served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Orthofix since 2002. They have unrestricted access to the Audit and Finance Committee to discuss audit findings and other financial matters.

Representatives of EY are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and respond to appropriate questions from shareholders. The work performed by EY during 2021 and 2020 and related fee information is described below.

Although shareholder ratification is not required, the appointment of EY is being submitted for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice with a view towards soliciting shareholders’ opinions that the Audit and Finance Committee will take into consideration in future deliberations. If EY’s selection is not ratified at the Annual Meeting, the Audit and Finance Committee will reconsider whether to retain EY. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit and Finance Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The following table sets forth fees for professional services rendered by EY for the audits of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the fees billed for other services rendered by EY during each such fiscal year .

Audit fees consisted of the aggregate fees, including expenses, billed in connection with the audits of our annual financial statements and internal controls, quarterly reviews of the financial information included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and statutory audits of our subsidiaries.

Tax fees in 2021 and 2020 consisted of the aggregate fees, including expenses, billed for professional services rendered for income tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. These fees included fees billed for federal and state income tax review services, assistance with tax audits and other tax consulting services.

All other fees consisted of aggregate fees billed for products and services other than the services reported above. For fiscal years 2021 and 2020, this category included fees related to professional reference materials and publications.

The Audit and Finance Committee approves all audits, audit-related services, tax services and other services provided by EY. Any services provided by EY that are not specifically included within the scope of the audit must be either (i) pre-approved by the entire Audit and Finance Committee in advance of any engagement, or (ii) pre-approved by the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee pursuant to authority delegated to him by the other independent members of the Audit and Finance Committee, in which case the Audit and Finance Committee is then informed of his decision. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, these pre-approval requirements are waived for non-audit services where (i) the aggregate of all such services is no more than 5% of the total amount paid to the external auditors during the fiscal year in which such services were provided, (ii) such services were not recognized at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services, and (iii) such services are approved by the Audit and Finance Committee prior to the completion of the audit engagement. In 2021 and 2020, all fees paid to EY for non-audit services were pre-approved.

The Audit and Finance Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The committee is responsible for the selection, compensation, and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The committee reviews matters relating to the Company’s internal controls, as well as other matters warranting committee attention. In addition, the committee assists the Board in overseeing the Company’s Corporate Compliance and Ethics Program. The committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, a copy of which is available for review on our website at www.orthofix.com.

Management is responsible for Orthofix’s internal controls and financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of Orthofix’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and to issue a report thereon. Additionally, the independent registered public accounting firm is also responsible for auditing the effectiveness of Orthofix’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit and Finance Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. The committee relies without independent verification on the information provided to it and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit and Finance Committee held ten meetings during the 2021 fiscal year. The meetings were designed, among other things, to facilitate and encourage communication among the committee, management and Orthofix’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”). The committee reviewed management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Orthofix’s disclosure controls over financial reporting. We discussed with EY the overall scope and plans for their audit. We met with EY, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations and their evaluations of Orthofix’s internal controls.

The Audit and Finance Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 with management and EY. We also discussed with management and EY management’s report and the independent registered public accounting firm’s report and attestation on Orthofix’s internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We also discussed with EY the matters required by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.

The Audit and Finance Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from EY required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit and Finance Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent accountant their independence from Orthofix. When considering EY’s independence, we considered whether their provision of services to Orthofix beyond those rendered in connection with their audit of Orthofix’s consolidated financial statements was compatible with maintaining their independence. We also reviewed, among other things, the audit and non-audit services performed by, and the amount of fees paid for such services to, EY. The committee has determined that EY is independent of Orthofix and its management.

Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, we recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has approved, that Orthofix’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in Orthofix’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

If you wish to submit a proposal to be included in our 2023 proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, we must receive your written proposal on or before December 28, 2022. Please address your proposals to: Chair of the Board, Orthofix Medical Inc., 3451 Plano Parkway, Lewisville, TX 75056.

Shareholders who intend to present an item of business at the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) (other than a proposal submitted for inclusion in the Company’s 2023 proxy statement in accordance with the prior paragraph), including nominations for election to the Board of Directors, must provide notice of such business to the Company’s Secretary no earlier than February 6, 2023 and no later than March 8, 2023 (or, if the 2023 Annual Meeting is held more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of this year’s Annual Meeting, no earlier than 120 days before the 2023 Annual Meeting and no later than the later of 90 days before the 2023 Annual Meeting or the 10th business day following the Company’s public announcement of the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting), as set forth more fully in, and in compliance with, the Company’s bylaws.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing advance notice requirements under the Company’s bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules under the Exchange Act, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, no later than April 7, 2023.

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single annual report or proxy statement, as applicable, addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

Orthofix and some brokers may be householding proxy materials by delivering proxy materials to multiple shareholders who request a copy and share an address, unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or Orthofix that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or, if you are a shareholder of record of Orthofix, notify Orthofix by sending a written or oral request to Investor Relations, Attention: Ms. Alexa Huerta, 3451 Plano Parkway, Lewisville, Texas 75056, Tel. (214) 937-3190. Shareholders of Orthofix who share a single address, but receive multiple copies of Orthofix’s proxy statement, may request that in the future they receive a single copy by notifying Orthofix at the telephone and address set forth in the preceding sentence. In addition, Orthofix will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request made to the address or telephone number above, a separate copy of the proxy statement to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered pursuant to a prior request.

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2012 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED BY AMENDMENTs NO. 1 AND 2 THERETO

The Plan is intended to (a) provide eligible persons with an incentive to contribute to the success of the Company and to operate and manage the Company’s business in a manner that will provide for the Company’s long-term growth and profitability, and (b) provide a means of obtaining, rewarding and retaining key personnel. To this end, the Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units (including deferred stock units), unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards, and cash bonus awards. Any of these Awards may, but need not, be made as performance incentives to reward the holders of such Awards for the achievement of annual or long-term performance goals in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Options granted under the Plan may be Non-qualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, as provided herein.

For purposes of interpreting the Plan and related documents (including Award Agreements), the following definitions shall apply, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

(a)If on the Grant Date or other determination date the shares of Stock are listed on an established national or regional stock exchange (a “Stock Exchange”), or are publicly traded on an established securities market (a “Securities Market”), the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock shall be the closing price of the Stock as reported on such Stock Exchange or Securities Market (provided that if there is more than one such Stock Exchange or Securities Market, the Committee shall designate the appropriate Stock Exchange or Securities Market for purposes of the Fair Market Value determination) on the Grant Date or other determination date. If there is no such reported closing price on such date, the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock shall be, as

All such actions and determinations shall be made by (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, or (ii) the unanimous consent of the members of the Committee executed in writing or evidenced by electronic transmission in accordance with the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and Applicable Laws. Unless otherwise expressly determined by the Board,

the interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive whether or not expressly provided for in any provision of the Plan, such Award or such Award Agreement.

(b)In the event that the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement provides for any action to be taken by or any determination to be made by the Board, such action may be taken or such determination may be made by the Committee or another committee constituted in accordance with this Section 3.1 if the Board has delegated the power and authority to do so to the Committee or such other committee pursuant to this Section 3.1. Unless otherwise expressly determined by the Board, any such action or determination by the Committee or other committee shall be final, binding and conclusive whether or not expressly provided for in any provision of the Plan, such Award or such Award Agreement.

(c)Except as provided in Section 3.2 and except as the Board may otherwise determine, the Committee shall consist of two or more Outside Directors of the Company who: (a) meet such requirements as may be established from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission for plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act, and (b) comply with the independence requirements of the Stock Exchange or Securities Market on which the Stock is listed or publicly traded; provided, that any action taken by the Committee shall be valid and effective whether or not members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have satisfied the requirements for membership set forth in this Section 3.1 or otherwise provided in any charter of the Committee; provided, further that, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent necessary to satisfy any transition rule or applicable transition guidance pertaining to Awards intended to satisfy the criteria for performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), the Committee administering such Awards shall consist of two or more Outside Directors who qualify as “outside directors” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and the applicable guidance thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may be the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of the Board or a subcommittee thereof if the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of the Board or such subcommittee satisfies the foregoing requirements.

(d)The Board may also appoint one or more committees of the Board, each composed of one or more directors of the Company who need not be Outside Directors, who may administer the Plan with respect to employees or other Service Providers who are not “executive officers” as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act or directors of the Company, may grant Awards under the Plan to such employees or other Service Providers, and may determine all terms of such Awards, subject to the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and any Stock Exchange or Securities Market on which the Stock is listed or publicly traded. Any reference to “Committee” in the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall be deemed, as applicable, to refer to any committee appointed by the Board pursuant to this Section 3.1.

Nothing in the Plan will be construed as obligating the Committee to delegate authority to any officer of the Company, and the Committee may at any time rescind the authority delegated to an officer of the Company appointed hereunder and delegate authority to one or more other officers of the Company. At all times, an officer of the Company delegated authority pursuant to this Section 3.1 will serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee. Any action undertaken by any such officer of the Company in accordance with the Committee’s delegation of authority will have the same force and effect as if undertaken directly by the Committee, and any reference to the “Committee” in the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall be deemed, to the extent consistent with the terms and limitations of such delegation, to refer to each officer delegated authority by the Committee pursuant to this Section 3.1.

The Board from time to time may exercise any or all of the powers and authorities related to the administration and implementation of the Plan, as set forth in Section 3.1 and other applicable provisions of the Plan, as the Board shall determine, consistent with the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and Applicable Laws.

(f)amend, modify, reprice (except as such practice is prohibited by Section 3.5 herein), or supplement the terms of any outstanding Award, which authority shall include the authority, in order to effectuate the purposes of the Plan but without amending the Plan, to make Awards or to modify outstanding Awards made to eligible natural persons who are foreign nationals or are natural persons who are employed outside the United States to reflect differences in local law, tax policy, or custom, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or supplement of the terms of any outstanding Award shall, without the consent of the Grantee thereof, materially impair the Grantee’s rights under such Award; and

(a)The Committee may reserve the right in an Award Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the gain realized by a Grantee with respect to an Award thereunder on account of actions taken by, or failed to be taken by, such Grantee in violation or breach of, or in conflict with, any (i) employment agreement, (ii) non-competition agreement, (iii) agreement prohibiting solicitation of Employees or clients of the Company or an Affiliate, (iv) confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company or an Affiliate, (v) Company or Affiliate policy or procedure, (vi) other agreement, or (vii) other obligation of such Grantee to the Company or an Affiliate, as and to the extent specified in such Award Agreement.

(b)Any Award granted pursuant to the Plan, to the extent provided in any Award Agreement relating thereto, shall be subject to mandatory repayment by the Grantee of such Award to the Company to the extent that such Grantee is or in the future becomes subject to (i) any Company or Affiliate “clawback” or recoupment policy or (ii) any Applicable Laws, in each case that require the repayment by such Grantee to the

Company or Affiliate of compensation paid to such Grantee by the Company or an Affiliate in the event that such Grantee fails to comply with, or violates, the terms or requirements of such policy.

(c)If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance by the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws, any Grantee of an Award under such Award Agreement who knowingly engaged in such misconduct, was grossly negligent in engaging in such misconduct, knowingly failed to prevent such misconduct or was grossly negligent in failing to prevent such misconduct, shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of such Award earned or accrued during the period of twelve (12) months following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document that contained information affected by such material noncompliance.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any provision of any Award Agreement, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, then Grantees shall forfeit any cash or Stock received in connection with an Award (or an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Stock on the date of delivery thereof to the Grantee if the Grantee no longer holds the shares of Stock) if pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement for such Award, the amount of the Award earned or the vesting in the Award was expressly based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals set forth in the Award Agreement (including earnings, gains, or other performance goals) that are later determined, as a result of the accounting restatement, not to have been achieved.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, except in connection with a Corporate Transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the Company may not (a) amend the terms of outstanding Options or SARs to reduce the Option Price or SAR Price, as applicable, of such outstanding Options or SARs; (b) cancel or assume outstanding Options or SARs in exchange for or substitution of Options or SARs with an Option Price or SAR Price, as applicable, that is less than the Option Price or SAR Price, as applicable, of the original Options or SARs; or (c) cancel or assume outstanding Options or SARs with an Option Price or SAR Price, as applicable, above the current Fair Market Value in exchange for cash, Awards, or other securities, in each case, unless such action (i) is subject to and approved by the Company’s shareholders, or (ii) is an appropriate adjustment pursuant Section 17.

The Committee may permit or require the deferral of any payment pursuant to any Award into a deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or Dividend Equivalent Rights and, in connection therewith, provisions for converting such credits into deferred Stock equivalents and for restricting deferrals to comply with hardship distribution rules affecting tax-qualified retirement plans subject to Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(IV), provided that no Dividend Equivalent Rights may be granted in connection with, or related to, an Award of Options or SARs. Any such deferrals shall be made in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A.

No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan, any Award, or any Award Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, neither the Company, an Affiliate, the Board, the Committee, nor any person acting on behalf of the Company, an Affiliate, the Board, or the Committee will be liable to any Grantee or to the estate or beneficiary of any Grantee or to any other holder of an Award under the Plan by reason of any acceleration of income, or any additional tax (including any interest and penalties), asserted by reason of the failure of an Award to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 422 or Code Section 409A or by reason of Code Section 4999, or

otherwise asserted with respect to the Award; provided, that this Section 3.7 shall not affect any of the rights or obligations set forth in an applicable agreement between the Grantee and the Company or an Affiliate.

(b)Any of the shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan may be used for any type of Award under the Plan, and any or all of the shares of Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be available for issuance pursuant to Incentive Stock Options.

(c)Shares of Stock to be issued under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares, or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, shares of treasury stock and issued shares that have been reacquired by the Company.

In connection with mergers, reorganizations, separations, or other transactions involving the Company or a Subsidiary to which Code Section 424(a) applies, the Committee shall have the right to cause the Company to assume awards previously granted under a compensatory plan by another business entity that is a party to such transaction and to grant Substitute Awards under the Plan therefor. The Share Limit shall not be increased by the number of shares of Stock subject to any such assumed awards and Substitute Awards. Shares available for issuance under a shareholder-approved plan of a business entity that is a party to such transaction (as appropriately adjusted to reflect such transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of shares of Stock otherwise available for issuance under the Plan, subject to applicable rules of any Stock Exchange or Securities Market on which the Stock is listed or publicly traded.

(a)Shares of Stock subject to an Award shall be counted against the Share Limit as used as of the Grant Date.

(b)Any shares of Stock that are subject to Awards of Options and SARs shall be counted against the Share Limit set forth in Section 4.1(a) as one (1) share of Stock for every one (1) share of Stock subject to such Award. Any shares of Stock that are subject to Awards other than Options or SARs shall be counted against the Share Limit set forth in Section 4.1(a) as 1.84 shares for every one (1) share of Stock subject to such Award. With respect to SARs, the number of shares of Stock subject to an award of SARs shall be counted against the Share Limit under the Plan regardless of the number of shares of Stock actually issued to

settle such SARs upon exercise. With respect to Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards, a number of shares of Stock at least equal to the target number of shares issuable under such Award, and with giving effect to the share counting rules set forth in this section, shall be counted against the Share Limit as of the Grant Date, but such number shall be adjusted to equal the actual number of shares issued, with giving effect to the share counting rules set forth in this section, upon settlement of the Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards, to the extent different from such number of shares.

(c)Any shares of Stock related to Awards under the Plan or awards outstanding under Prior Plan as of the Original Effective Date which thereafter terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance of such shares or is settled in cash in lieu of shares shall be available again for grant under the Plan in an amount determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in Section 4.3(b).

(d)The number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall not be increased by the number of shares of Stock (i) tendered or withheld or subject to an Award surrendered in connection with the purchase of shares of Stock upon exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (ii) that were not issued upon the net settlement or net exercise of an Option or Stock-settled SAR granted under the Plan, (iii) deducted or delivered from payment of an Award in connection with the Company’s tax withholding obligations as provided in Section 18.3 or (iv) purchased by the Company with proceeds from Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercises.

The Plan became effective on the Original Effective Date. The Plan, as amended and restated, shall be effective as of the Effective Date. The Plan as in effect prior to its amendment and restatement shall apply to all awards granted on and after the Original Effective Date and prior to the Effective Date. Following the Original Effective Date, no awards shall be made under the Prior Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of Stock reserved under the Prior Plans to settle awards which are made under the Prior Plans prior to the Effective Date may be issued and delivered following the Effective Date to settle such awards.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award, each Award made under the Plan prior to November 2, 2017 that was intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code prior to its repeal (“162(m) Awards”) and each Award which was otherwise not subject to the deduction limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code shall be subject to any additional limitations as the Committee determines necessary for such 162(m) Award to qualify as “performance-based compensation” as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code prior to its repeal (or to be so exempt) pursuant to the transition relief rules in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and to the extent any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award (or any amendments hereto pursuant to this amendment and restatement of the Plan) would cause any 162(m) Awards to fail to so qualify or other Awards to be so exempt, any such provisions shall not apply to such Awards to the extent necessary to ensure the continued qualification or exemption of such Awards. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and any such Awards shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

The Plan shall terminate automatically on the first to occur of (a) the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date, (b) the date determined in accordance with Section 5.3, and (c) the date determined in accordance with Section 17.3. Upon such termination of the Plan, all outstanding Awards shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the terminated Plan and the applicable Award Agreement (or other documents evidencing such Awards).

The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, provided, that with respect to Awards theretofore granted under the Plan, no amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Grantee, materially impair the Grantee’s rights under any such Award. The effectiveness of any amendment to the Plan shall be contingent on approval of such amendment by the Company’s shareholders to the extent provided by the Board or required by Applicable Laws (including the rules of any Stock Exchange or Securities Market on which the Stock is then listed or publicly traded), provided that no amendment shall be made to the no-repricing provisions of Section 3.5, the Option Price provisions of Section 8.1, or the SAR Exercise Price provisions of Section 9.1 without the approval of the Company’s shareholders.

Such additional, tandem and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. Subject to Section 3.5, if an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another Award, or for an award granted under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity acquired by the Company or any Affiliate, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award or award under such other plan in consideration for the grant of such substitute or exchange Award. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash payments under other plans of the Company or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding Section 8.1 and Section 9.1, but subject to Section 3.5, the Option Price of an Option or the grant price of an SAR that is a Substitute Award may be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the original Grant Date; provided that, the Option Price or grant price is determined in accordance with the principles of Code Section 424 for any Incentive Stock Option and consistent with Code Section 409A for any other Option or SAR.

Except with respect to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the Share Limit, (a) no portion of any Award (other than Substitute Awards) that vests on the basis of the Grantee’s continued Service shall be granted with vesting conditions under which vesting occurs earlier than the one (1) year anniversary of the Grant Date, and (b) no portion of any Award (other than Substitute Awards) that vests upon the attainment of Performance Measures shall be granted with a Performance Period of less than twelve (12) months.

Each Award Agreement evidencing an Award of Options shall specify whether such Options are intended to be Non-qualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, and in the absence of such specification, such Options shall be deemed to constitute Non-qualified Stock Options. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and an Award Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

The Option Price of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option. Except in the case of Substitute Awards, the Option Price of each Option shall be at least the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date; provided, that in the event that a Grantee is a Ten Percent Shareholder, the Option Price of an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. In no case shall the Option Price of any Option be less than the par value of a share of Stock.

Subject to Sections 6.4, 8.3 and 17.3, each Option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement; provided, that no Option relying on the five percent (5%) exception set forth in Section 6.4 shall be granted to Grantees who are entitled to overtime under Applicable Laws that will vest or be exercisable within a six (6)-month period starting on the Grant Date. For purposes of this Section 8.2, fractional numbers of shares of Stock subject to an Option shall be rounded down to the next nearest whole number.

Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder shall cease, on the day before the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Grant Date of such Option, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement relating to such Option; provided, that in the event that the Grantee is a Ten Percent Shareholder, an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the day before the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Grant Date of such Option; and provided, further, that, to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee to reflect differences in local law, tax policy or custom with respect to any Option granted to a Grantee who is a foreign national or is a natural person who is employed outside the United States, such Option may terminate, and all rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder may cease, upon the expiration of a period longer than ten (10) years from the Grant Date of such Option as the Committee shall determine.

Each Award Agreement with respect to the grant of an Option shall set forth the extent to which the Grantee thereof, if at all, shall have the right to exercise such Option following termination of such Grantee’s Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option be exercised, in whole or in part, prior to the date on which the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company as provided herein or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 17 which results in the termination of such Option.

Subject to the terms of Sections 12 and 18.3, an Option that is exercisable may be exercised by the Grantee’s delivery to the Company or its designee or agent of notice of exercise on any business day, at the Company’s principal office or the office of such designee or agent, on the form specified by the Company and in accordance with any additional procedures specified by the Committee. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock with respect to which such Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock for which such Option is being exercised, plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to the exercise of such Option.

A Grantee or other person holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a shareholder of the Company (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the shares of Stock subject to such Option, to direct the voting of the shares of Stock subject to such Option, or to

receive notice of any meeting of the Company’s shareholders) until the shares of Stock subject thereto are fully paid and issued to such Grantee or other person. Except as provided in Section 17, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights with respect to any shares of Stock subject to an Option for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of such shares of Stock.

Promptly after the exercise of an Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of the Option Price with respect thereto, such Grantee shall be entitled to receive such evidence of such Grantee’s ownership of the shares of Stock subject to such Option as shall be consistent with Section 3.8.

Except as provided in Section 8.10, during the lifetime of a Grantee of an Option, only such Grantee (or, in the event of such Grantee’s legal incapacity or incompetency, such Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise such Option. Except as provided in Section 8.10, no Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

If authorized in the applicable Award Agreement and by the Committee, in its sole discretion, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 8.10, a transfer “not for value” is a transfer which is (a) a gift, (b) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights, or (c) unless Applicable Laws do not permit such transfer, a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (and/or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in such entity. Following a transfer under this Section 8.10, any such Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to such transfer, and the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such Option shall be subject to the same restrictions with respect to transfers of shares as would have applied to the Grantee thereof. Subsequent transfers of transferred Options shall be prohibited except to Family Members of the original Grantee in accordance with this Section 8.10 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The provisions of Section 8.4 relating to termination of Service shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Grantee of the Option, following which such Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified, in Section 8.4.

An Option shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option only (a) if the Grantee of such Option is an employee of the Company or any corporate Subsidiary, (b) to the extent specifically provided in the related Award Agreement and (c) to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time such Option is granted) of the shares of Stock with respect to which all Incentive Stock Options held by such Grantee become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the Company and its Affiliates) does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). Except to the extent provided in the regulations under Code Section 422, this limitation shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted.

If any Grantee shall make any disposition of shares of Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances provided in Code Section 421(b) (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Grantee shall notify the Company of such disposition immediately but in no event later than ten (10) days thereafter.

A SAR shall confer on the Grantee to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (b) the SAR Exercise Price as determined by the Committee. The Award Agreement for a SAR shall specify the SAR Exercise Price, which shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date of such SAR. SARs may be granted in tandem with all or part of an Option granted under the Plan or at any subsequent time during the term of such Option, in combination with all or part of any other Award or without regard to any Option or other Award; provided, that a SAR that is granted subsequent to the Grant Date of a related Option must have a SAR Exercise Price that is no less than the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the Grant Date of such SAR.

Subject to Sections 6.4, 9.3 and 17.3, the Committee shall determine, on the Grant Date or thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future Service requirements), the time or times at which SARs shall cease to be or become exercisable following termination of Service or upon other conditions, the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which shares of Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Grantees, whether or not a SAR shall be granted in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and any and all other terms and conditions of any SAR; provided, that no SARs relying on the five percent (5%) exception set forth in Section 6.4 shall be granted to Grantees who are entitled to overtime under Applicable Laws that will vest or be exercisable within a six (6)-month period starting on the Grant Date.

Each SAR granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights thereunder shall cease, on the day before the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Grant Date of such SAR, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement relating to such SAR.

A Grantee or other person holding or exercising a SAR shall have none of the rights of a shareholder of the Company (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the shares of Stock underlying such SAR, to direct the voting of the shares of Stock underlying such SAR, or to receive notice of any meeting of the Company’s shareholders) until the shares of Stock underlying such SAR, if any, are issued to such Grantee or other person. Except as provided in Section 17, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights with respect to any shares of Stock underlying a SAR for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of such shares of Stock, if any.

Except as provided in Section 9.6, during the lifetime of a Grantee of a SAR, only the Grantee (or, in the event of such Grantee’s legal incapacity or incompetency, such Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise such SAR. Except as provided in Section 9.6, no SAR shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

If authorized in the applicable Award Agreement and by the Committee, in its sole discretion, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of a SAR to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 9.6, a transfer “not for value” is a transfer which is (a) a gift, (b) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement

of marital property rights or (c) unless Applicable Laws do not permit such transfers, a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (and/or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in such entity. Following a transfer under this Section 9.6, any such SAR shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to such transfer, and shares of Stock acquired pursuant to a SAR shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfers of shares as would have applied to the Grantee or such SAR. Subsequent transfers of transferred SARs shall be prohibited except to Family Members of the original Grantee in accordance with this Section 9.6 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Awards of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may be made for consideration or for no consideration (other than the par value of the shares of Stock, which shall be deemed paid by past or future Services by the Grantee to the Company or an Affiliate).

Subject to Sections 6.4 and 17.3, at the time a grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units is made, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, (a) establish a period of time (a “restricted period”) applicable to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units and (b) prescribe restrictions in addition to or other than the expiration of the restricted period, including the satisfaction of corporate or individual performance goals, which may be applicable to all or any portion of such Restricted Stock or Stock Units as provided in Section 14. Awards of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the restricted period or prior to the satisfaction of any other restrictions prescribed by the Committee with respect to such Awards.

Subject to Section 3.8 and the immediately following sentence, the Company may issue, in the name of each Grantee to whom Restricted Stock has been granted, stock certificates representing the total number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Grantee, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Grant Date of such Restricted Stock. The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that either (a) the Secretary of the Company shall hold such certificates for such Grantee’s benefit until such time as such shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited to the Company or the restrictions applicable thereto lapse and such Grantee shall deliver a stock power to the Company with respect to each certificate, or (b) such certificates shall be delivered to such Grantee, provided, that such certificates shall bear legends that comply with applicable securities laws and regulations and make appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed on such Award of Restricted Stock under the Plan and such Award Agreement. Pursuant to Section 3.8, to the extent Restricted Stock is represented by a book-entry, such book entry shall be notated to evidence the restrictions imposed on such Award of Restricted Stock under the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

Holders of Restricted Stock shall have the right to vote such shares of Restricted Stock and the right to receive any dividends declared or paid with respect to such shares of Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, cash dividends declared or paid on shares of Restricted Stock (i) shall not be paid currently but instead shall be accrued, (ii) shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to such underlying shares of Restricted Stock, and (iii) shall not vest or become payable unless and until the shares of Restricted Stock to which the dividends apply become vested and nonforfeitable. All stock distributions, if any, received by a Grantee with respect to Restricted Stock as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of stock, or

other similar transaction shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to such underlying shares of Restricted Stock.

Holders of Stock Units shall have no rights as shareholders of the Company (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the shares of Stock subject to such Stock Units, to direct the voting of the shares of Stock subject to such Stock Units, or to receive notice of any meeting of the Company’s shareholders). Subject to the restrictions on Dividend Equivalent Rights set forth in Section 13, the Committee may provide in an Award Agreement evidencing a grant of Stock Units that the holder of such Stock Units shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights.

A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement.

Unless the Committee provides otherwise in an Award Agreement or in writing after such Award Agreement is issued, but prior to termination of Grantee’s Service, upon the termination of such Grantee’s Service, any Restricted Stock or Stock Units held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture of such Restricted Stock or Stock Units, the Grantee thereof shall have no further rights with respect thereto, including any right to vote such Restricted Stock or any right to receive dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights, as applicable, with respect to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units.

The Grantee shall be required, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, to purchase the Restricted Stock or shares of Stock subject to vested Stock Units from the Company at a Purchase Price equal to the greater of (a) the aggregate par value of the shares of Stock represented by such Restricted Stock or Stock Units or (b) the Purchase Price, if any, specified in the Award Agreement relating to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form provided in Section 12 or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in consideration for past or future Services rendered to the Company or an Affiliate.

Upon the expiration or termination of any restricted period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee, the restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock or Stock Units settled in shares of Stock shall lapse, and, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a book-entry or direct registration or a stock certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of Stock shall, consistent with Section 3.8, be issued, free of all such restrictions, to the Grantee thereof or such Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. Neither the Grantee, nor the Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, shall have any further rights with regard to a Stock Unit once the shares of Stock represented by the Stock Unit have been delivered in accordance with this Section 10.8.

(a)In each case subject to the five percent (5%) limit set forth in Section Error! Reference source not found., the Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at the par value of a share of Stock or at such other higher purchase price determined by the Committee) an Award to any Grantee pursuant to which such Grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any restrictions (“Unrestricted Stock”) under the Plan. Awards of Unrestricted Stock may be granted or sold to any Grantee as provided in the immediately preceding sentence in respect of past or future Service and other valid consideration, or in lieu of, or in addition to, any cash compensation due to such Grantee.

(b)The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Awards in the form of Other Equity-Based Awards, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to Section 6.4, Awards granted pursuant to this Section 11(b) may be granted with vesting, value and/or payment contingent upon the achievement of one or more performance goals. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of Other Equity-Based Awards at the Grant Date or thereafter. Unless the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after such Award Agreement is issued, upon the termination of a Grantee’s Service, any Other Equity-Based Awards held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture of any Other Equity-Based Award, the Grantee thereof shall have no further rights with respect to such Other Equity-Based Award.

Payment of the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock or vested Stock Units shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Company.

To the extent that the applicable Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock or vested Stock Units may be made all or in part through the tender or attestation to the Company of shares of Stock, which shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which such Option Price or Purchase Price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of such tender or attestation.

With respect to an Option only (and not with respect to Restricted Stock or Stock Units), to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and to the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the proceeds of such sale to the Company in payment of such Option Price and any withholding taxes described in Section 18.3.

To the extent the Award Agreement so provides and/or unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, payment of the Option Price for shares of Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock or vested Stock Units may be made in any other form that is consistent with

Applicable Laws, including (a) Service to the Company or an Affiliate and (b) net exercise, net settlement or share withholding.

A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the recipient thereof to receive credits based on cash distributions that would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to which such Dividend Equivalent Right relates) if such shares of Stock had been issued to and held by the recipient of such Dividend Equivalent Right as of the record date (with or without being subject to forfeiture or a repayment obligation). A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any Grantee, provided that no Dividend Equivalent Rights may be granted in connection with, or related to, an Award of Options or SARs. Subject to this Section 13, the terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Agreement therefor. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently (with or without being subject to forfeiture or a repayment obligation) or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock or Awards, which may thereafter accrue additional Dividend Equivalent Rights. Any such reinvestment in additional shares of Stock shall be at the Fair Market Value thereof on the date of such reinvestment. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or in multiple installments, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award (i) shall not be paid currently but instead shall be accrued, (ii) shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to the Award to which the Dividend Equivalent Rights correspond, and (iii) shall not vest or become payable unless and until the Award to which the Dividend Equivalent Rights correspond becomes vested and settled.

Unless the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after such Award Agreement is issued, a Grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate upon the Grantee’s termination of Service for any reason.

Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Performance Awards and/or Annual Incentive Awards to a Grantee in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine.

Each Performance Award and Annual Incentive Award shall have an initial cash value or an actual or target number of shares of Stock that is established by the Committee at the time of grant. The Committee shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are achieved, shall determine the value and/or the number shares of Stock subject to Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards that will be paid out to the Grantee thereof.

Subject to the terms of the Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the Grantee of Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards shall be entitled to receive a payout of the value and/or the

number shares of Stock subject to Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards earned by the Grantee over such Performance Period.

14.4Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards.

Payment of earned Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards shall be made, as determined by the Committee, in the form, at the time, and in the manner described in the applicable Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, (a) may pay earned Performance Awards in the form of cash, shares of Stock, other Awards, other property or a combination thereof and (b) shall pay the value of the earned Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards at the close of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Committee has determined that the performance goal or goals have been achieved; provided that, unless specifically provided in the Award Agreement for such Awards, such payment shall occur no later than the fifteenth (15^th) day of the third (3^rd) month following the end of the calendar year in which such Performance Period ends. Any shares of Stock paid out under such Awards may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. The determination of the Committee with respect to the form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement for the Awards.

The right of a Grantee to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Performance Award or Annual Incentive Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to the achievement of such Performance Measures as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions. Performance under any of the Performance Measures (i) may be used to measure the performance of (A) the Company, its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates as a whole, (B) the Company, any Subsidiary, and/or any other Affiliate or any combination thereof, or (C) any one or more business units or operating segments of the Company, any Subsidiary, and/or any other Affiliate, in each case as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and (ii) may be compared to the performance of one or more other companies, or one or more published or special indices designated or approved by the Committee for such comparison, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may select Performance Measure specified in Section 2.31(e) for comparison to performance under one or more stock market indices designated or approved by the Committee. The Committee also shall have the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Performance Award or Annual Incentive Award based on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to the Performance Measures specified in this Section 14. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein is intended to prevent the Committee from granting Awards subject to subjective performance conditions (including individual performance conditions); provided, that such Awards shall not be considered Performance Awards under the Plan.

The Committee may provide in any Performance Award or Annual Incentive Award that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occur during a Performance Period: (a) asset write-downs; (b) litigation or claims, judgments or settlements; (c) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results; (d) any reorganization or restructuring events or programs; (e) extraordinary, non-core, non-operating, or non-recurring items and items that are either of an unusual nature or of a type that indicates infrequency of occurrence as a separate component of income from continuing operations; (f) acquisitions or divestitures; (g) foreign exchange gains and losses; (h) impact of shares of Stock purchased through share repurchase programs; (i) tax valuation allowance reversals; (j) impairment expense; and (k) environmental expense.

If any Grantee is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Code Section 280G(c), then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter

entered into by such Grantee with the Company or an Affiliate, except an agreement, contract, or understanding that expressly addresses Code Section 280G or Code Section 4999 (an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Grantee (including groups or classes of Grantees or beneficiaries of which the Grantee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Grantee (a “Benefit Arrangement”), any right of the Grantee to any exercise, vesting, payment or benefit under the Plan shall be reduced or eliminated:

(a)to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Grantee under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit to the Grantee under the Plan to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2) as then in effect (a “Parachute Payment”); and

(b)if, as a result of receiving such Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Grantee from the Company under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by the Grantee without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment.

Except as required by Code Section 409A or to the extent that Code Section 409A permits discretion, the Committee shall have the right, in the Committee’s sole discretion, to designate those rights, payments, or benefits under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having such rights, payments, or benefits be considered a Parachute Payment; provided, however, to the extent any payment or benefit constitutes deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, in order to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company shall instead accomplish such reduction by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments (with the payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Options or SARs, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Parachute Payments.

The Company shall not be required to offer, sell or issue any shares of Stock under any Award, whether pursuant to the exercise of an Option or SAR or otherwise, if the offer, sale or issuance of such shares of Stock would constitute a violation by the Grantee, the Company or an Affiliate, or any other person of any provision of the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or of Applicable Laws, including any federal or state securities laws or regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares of Stock subject to an Award upon any Stock Exchange or Securities Market or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the offering, issuance, sale or purchase of shares of Stock in connection with any Award, no shares of Stock may be offered, issued or sold to the Grantee or any other person under such Award, whether pursuant to the exercise of an Option or SAR or otherwise, unless such listing, registration or qualification shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of such Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the exercise of any Option or any SAR that may be settled in shares of Stock or the delivery of any shares of Stock underlying an Award, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock subject to such Award, the Company shall not be required to offer, sell or issue such shares of Stock unless the Committee shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other person exercising such Option or SAR or accepting delivery of such shares may acquire such shares of Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination by the Committee in connection with the foregoing shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company may register, but shall in no event be obligated to register, any shares of

Stock or other securities issuable pursuant to the Plan pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or a SAR or the issuance of shares of Stock or other securities issuable pursuant to the Plan or any Award to comply with any Applicable Laws. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option or SAR that may be settled in shares of Stock shall not be exercisable until the shares of Stock subject to such Option or SAR are registered under the securities laws thereof or are exempt from such registration, the exercise of such Option or SAR under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of such an exemption.

During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intention of the Company that Awards pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options and SARs granted hereunder that would otherwise be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee does not comply with the requirements of such Rule 16b-3, such provision or action shall be deemed inoperative with respect to such Awards to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and deemed advisable by the Committee, and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the event that such Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board may exercise its discretion to modify the Plan in any respect necessary or advisable in its judgment to satisfy the requirements of, or to permit the Company to avail itself of the benefits of, the revised exemption or its replacement.

If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or kind of capital stock or other securities of the Company on account of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, combination of stock, exchange of stock, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares of Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after the Effective Date, the number and kinds of shares of stock for which grants of Options and other Awards may be made under the Plan, including the Share Limit set forth in Section 4.1(a), the individual share limits set forth in Section 6.2, and the five percent (5%) limit set forth in Section 6.4 shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Committee. In addition, the number and kind of shares of stock for which Awards are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Committee so that the proportionate interest of the Grantee therein immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately before such event. Any such adjustment in outstanding Options or SARs shall not change the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price payable with respect to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion of such outstanding Options or SARs, as applicable, but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the per share Option Price or SAR Exercise Price, as the case may be. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as an increase in shares effected without receipt of consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any distribution to the Company’s shareholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (including an extraordinary dividend, but excluding a non-extraordinary dividend, declared and paid by the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall, in such manner as it deems appropriate, adjust (a) the number and kind of shares of stock subject to outstanding Awards and/or (b) the aggregate and per share Option Price of outstanding Options and the aggregate and per share SAR Exercise Price of outstanding SARs as required to reflect such distribution.

17.2Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity Which Does not Constitute a Corporate Transaction.

Subject to Section 17.3, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more other entities which does not constitute a Corporate Transaction, any Award theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Award would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the per share Option Price or SAR Exercise Price, if applicable, so that the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price of the shares of Stock remaining subject to the Option or SAR as in effect immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation. Subject to any contrary language in an Award Agreement, any restrictions applicable to such Award shall apply as well to any replacement shares received by the Grantee as a result of such reorganization, merger, or consolidation. In the event of any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company referred to in this Section 17.2, Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards shall be adjusted (including any adjustment to performance goals applicable to such Awards deemed appropriate by the Committee) so as to apply to the securities that a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to the Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards would have been entitled to receive immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation.

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or with respect to Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards, in another agreement with the Grantee, or as otherwise set forth in writing, upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction in which outstanding Awards are not being assumed, continued, or substituted for, the following provisions shall apply to such Award, to the extent not assumed, continued, or substituted for:

(a)All Grantees of shares of Restricted Stock, Stock Units, and Dividend Equivalent Rights shall become vested in their Awards as of immediately prior to the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction and any shares of Stock or cash that become vested pursuant to the operation of this Section 17.3(a) shall be delivered, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Corporate Transaction;

(b)All Grantees of Options and SARs shall become immediately vested in their Awards as of immediately prior to the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction; and

(i)At least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled consummation of such a Corporate Transaction, notice shall be given to all Grantees of vested Options and SARs outstanding hereunder (including Options and SARs that become vested pursuant to the operation of Section 17.3(b)) that such Options and SARs shall remain exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days and shall thereafter be terminated. With respect to the Company’s establishment of an exercise window, (A) any exercise of an Option or SAR during the fifteen (15)-day period referred to above shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the applicable Corporate Transaction and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation thereof, and (B) upon consummation of any Corporate Transaction, the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised Options and SARs shall terminate. The Committee shall send notice of an event that shall result in such a termination to all natural persons and entities who hold Options and SARs not later than the time at which the Company gives notice thereof to its shareholders.

(ii)The Committee may elect, in its sole discretion, to cancel any outstanding Awards of Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, Stock Units, and/or Dividend Equivalent Rights and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the holder thereof an amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by the Committee acting in good faith), in the case of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, equal to the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock pursuant to such Corporate Transaction and, in the case of Options or SARs, equal to the product of the number of shares of Stock subject such Options or SARs multiplied by the amount, if any, by which (A) the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock pursuant to such transaction exceeds (B) the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price applicable to such Awards.

(d)For Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards denominated in Stock or Stock Units, if less than half of the Performance Period has lapsed, such Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards shall be converted into Restricted Stock or Stock Units assuming target performance has been achieved (or into Unrestricted Stock if no further restrictions apply). If more than half the Performance Period has lapsed, such Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards shall be converted into Restricted Stock or Stock Units based on actual performance to date (or into Unrestricted Stock if no further restrictions apply). If actual performance is not determinable, such Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards shall be converted into Restricted Stock or Stock Units assuming target performance has been achieved, based on the discretion of the Committee (or into Unrestricted Stock if no further restrictions apply).

(e)Other-Equity Based Awards shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in another agreement with the Grantee, or as otherwise set forth in writing, upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction in which outstanding Awards are being assumed, continued, or substituted for, the following provisions shall apply to such Award, to the extent assumed, continued, or substituted for:

(a)The Plan and the Awards theretofore granted under the Plan shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided in the event of any Corporate Transaction to the extent that provision is made in writing in connection with such Corporate Transaction for the assumption or continuation of such Awards, or for the substitution for such Awards of new common stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, common stock units, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards relating to the stock of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares (disregarding any consideration that is not common stock) and option and stock appreciation rights exercise prices.

(b)In the event an Award is assumed, continued or substituted upon the consummation of any Corporate Transaction and the employment of such Grantee with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated without Cause within one year following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction, such Award shall be fully vested and may be exercised in full, to the extent applicable, beginning on the date of such termination and for the one-year period immediately following such termination or for such longer period as the Committee shall determine.

Adjustments under this Section 17 related to shares of Stock or securities of the Company shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares

or other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share. The Committee may provide in the applicable Award Agreements at the time of grant, or any time thereafter with the consent of the Grantee, for different provisions to apply to an Award in place of those provided in Sections 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 and 17.4. This Section 17 shall not limit the Company’s ability to provide for alternative treatment of Awards outstanding under the Plan in the event of change in control events that are not Corporate Transactions.

The making of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets (including all or any part of the business or assets of any Subsidiary or other Affiliate) or to engage in any other transaction or activity.

No provision in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or Service of the Company or an Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Company or an Affiliate either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any natural person or entity at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any natural person or entity and the Company or an Affiliate. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, no Award granted under the Plan shall be affected by any change of duties or position of the Grantee thereof, so long as such Grantee continues to provide Service. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to the Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts provided herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan and Awards shall in no way be interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any Grantee or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan.

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or particular individuals) as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, determines desirable.

(a)The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award or upon the issuance of any shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option or pursuant to any other Award. At the time of such vesting, lapse, or exercise, the Grantee shall pay in cash to the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount that the Company or such Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation; provided, however, that if there is a same day sale of shares of Stock subject to an Award, the Grantee shall pay such withholding obligation on the day on which the same-day sale is completed. Subject to the prior approval of the Company or an Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such withholding obligation, in whole or in part, (a) by causing the Company or such Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee

or (b) by delivering to the Company or such Affiliate shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee. The shares of Stock so withheld or delivered shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligation. The Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined by the Company or such Affiliate as of the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to this Section 18.3 may satisfy such Grantee’s withholding obligation only with shares of Stock that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements.

(b)The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be withheld from any Award to satisfy any federal, state, or local tax withholding requirements upon the exercise, vesting, or lapse of restrictions applicable to any Award or payment of shares of Stock pursuant to such Award, as applicable, may not exceed such number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required by the Company or the applicable Affiliate to be withheld and paid to any such federal, state, or local taxing authority with respect to such exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions, or payment of shares of Stock; provided, however, for so long as Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 or a similar rule remains in effect, the Board or the Committee has full discretion to choose, or to allow a Grantee to elect, to withhold a number of shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding obligation (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum required statutory withholding amount(s) in such Grantee’s relevant tax jurisdiction).

(c)Notwithstanding Section 2.17 or this Section 18.3, for purposes of determining taxable income and the amount of the related tax withholding obligation pursuant to this Section 18.3, the Fair Market Value will be determined by the Committee in good faith using any reasonable method as it deems appropriate, to be applied consistently with respect to Grantees; provided, further, that the Committee shall determine the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock for tax withholding obligations due in connection with sales, by or on behalf of a Grantee, of such shares of Stock subject to an Award to pay the Option Price, SAR Exercise Price, and/or any tax withholding obligation on the same date on which such shares may first be sold pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement (including broker-assisted cashless exercises of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and sell-to-cover transactions) in any manner consistent with applicable provisions of the Code, including but not limited to using the sale price of such shares on such date (or if sales of such shares are effectuated at more than one sale price, the weighted average sale price of such shares on such date) as the Fair Market Value of such shares, so long as such Grantee has provided the Company, or its designee or agent, with advance written notice of such sale.

The use of captions in the Plan or any Award Agreement is for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan or such Award Agreement.

Each Award granted under the Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

With respect to words used in the Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, as the context requires.

If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction.

The validity and construction of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards granted hereunder to the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

To the extent the Committee determines that the terms set by the Committee imposed by the Plan preclude the achievement of the purposes of the Plan in jurisdictions outside the United States, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to modify those terms and provide for such additional terms and conditions as the Committee determines to be necessary, appropriate, or desirable to accommodate differences in local law, policy, or custom or to facilitate administration of the Plan. The Committee may adopt or approve sub-plans, appendices, or supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or alternative versions of the Plan as in effect for any other purposes. The special terms and any sub-plans, appendices, supplements, amendments, restatements, or alternative versions, however, shall not include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as in effect, unless the Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the Company’s shareholders.

The Plan is intended to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan will be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Code Section 409A. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” within the meaning of Code Section 409A will not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6)-month period immediately following the Grantee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A will instead be paid on the first payroll date after the six (6)-month anniversary of the Grantee’s Separation from Service (or the Grantee’s death, if earlier).

Furthermore, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the case of an Award that is characterized as deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, and pursuant to which settlement and delivery of the cash or shares of Stock subject to the Award is triggered based on a Corporate Transaction, in no event will a Corporate Transaction be deemed to have occurred for purposes of such settlement and delivery of cash or shares of Stock 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). If an Award characterized as deferred compensation under Code Section 409A is not settled and delivered on account of the provision of the preceding sentence, the settlement and delivery shall occur on the next succeeding settlement and delivery triggering event that is a permissible triggering event under Code Section 409A. No provision of this paragraph shall in any way affect the determination of a Corporate Transaction for purposes of vesting in an Award that is characterized as deferred compensation under Code Section 409A.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on any Grantee under Code Section 409A, and neither the Company or an Affiliate nor the Board or the Committee will have any liability to any Grantee for such tax or penalty.

To the extent that the Company determines that a Grantee would be subject to the additional twenty percent (20%) tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Code Section 409A as a result of any provision of any Award granted under the Plan, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Committee.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, no dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be paid on any unvested Award and any dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights granted in respect to any Award shall be paid at the time, if at all, that the Award to which it relates becomes vested.

	Community Involvement: We support a variety of charitable organizations through donations, fundraising efforts, educational partnerships with colleges and universities, and local community development. Over the years, we have raised funds and awareness for veteran support groups, food and homebuilding organizations, and health-related institutions. Our focus on community engagement, which we have branded Orthofix In Action, is evidenced by the introduction in 2022 of a new aspect of our all-employee bonus plan, which rewards all employees for meeting company-wide community engagement and volunteerism goals. Orthofix also partners with Donate Life America, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization that promotes the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation.

	Environmental Responsibility: We are committed to transitioning to lower carbon operations. We have begun to explore a decrease in our carbon footprint for the manufacturing and supply of our surgical instruments via single-use sterile packed instruments, and in 2020 launched a partnership with Neo Medical to distribute single-use sterile packed instrumentation for certain spine surgeries, and to develop single-use solutions for other procedures. These single-use sterile packed instruments eliminate high carbon cost of repeated shipping and sterilization, reducing our carbon footprint and improving the spinal surgery ecosystem with value-based care and sustainable technology solutions. In February 2021, we launched a free recycling program for our patients using Bone Growth Stimulators in order to reduce the number of devices that end up in landfills after use, the first program of its kind for bone growth therapy devices. To date, we have sent shipping labels to over 3,000 patients to facilitate recycling of these devices. We also embed the principles of advancing a circular economy into our ESG practices globally through our in-office recycling program, including recycle/reuse and a commitment to eliminate Styrofoam. Additionally, our facilities have energy efficient HVAC systems and we transitioned our Lewisville, Texas location to 100 percent sustainable energy in 2020. Further, we expect our suppliers to support our efforts in improving the environment and animal welfare.


	Governance: It is our fundamental policy to conduct business in accordance with the highest ethical and legal standards. We have a comprehensive compliance and ethics program to promote lawful and ethical business practices throughout our domestic and international businesses and offer compliance training to all of our employees. Similarly, we require that our suppliers adopt sound human rights practices designed to treat workers fairly and with dignity and respect. We responsibly manage and influence the impacts of our distributors through our robust compliance and governance training.

	Safety and Quality: The safety of our patients is of utmost importance. Our commitment and focus on product safety is evidenced with investments across the organization in quality systems and medical device regulation compliance. This topic is also the foundation of our Quality Driven policy, which is to improve patients’ lives through high-quality products, procedures, and services. We are committed to executing an effective quality management system that meets or exceeds global requirements. This focus has resulted in zero product recalls issued in 2021. To further promote this effort, we introduced an ESG metric beginning in 2022 that ties a portion of the 2022 annual bonus plan to achieving predetermined safety and quality objectives. These ESG performance goals were introduced to continue holding our team to our commitment that stakeholders must be considered in our actions every day.


	Conflict Minerals Report: We maintain a Conflict Minerals Report to ensure high standards of corporate responsibility, and we take seriously the ending of the violence and human rights violations currently taking place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and surrounding countries.
	Environmental, Health and Safety: We maintain an environmental, health and safety policy, communicated within our Corporate Code of Conduct, that seeks to promote the operation of our business in a manner that is environmentally responsible and protective of the health and safety of both our employees and the public. As a result of these policies, the Company reported zero work related injuries in the U.S. in 2021, which is lower than the industry average reported by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”).


	Code of Conduct: We maintain a Corporate Code of Conduct that is applicable to all our directors, officers, and employees. The Code of Conduct sets forth our policies and expectations on several topics, including conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, human rights, use of our assets, business conduct and fair dealing. All employees, directors and sales distributors participate in annual training on the Corporate Code of Conduct and related Company policies.
	Sustainability: We maintain comprehensive policies that guide our approach to environmental and social risk management within our Corporate Code of Conduct. Areas of focus include our corporate compliance with responsible hazardous waste protocols, recycling, emergency preparedness, and programs to enhance and promote environmental stewardship.
	COVID-19 Response We recognize that as a responsible global operator, it is our obligation to ensure the safety of our stakeholders. In addition to our above principles, in 2021: • We assessed and managed the risks associated with our activities to protect our employees and ensure product availability for our surgeon customers and their patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. •We remain committed to the responsible oversight of our workforce and their safety as evidenced by our continued use of health pre-screens for our facilities and patient and customer interactions, the transition of many of our employees to permanent or flexible remote work arrangements, upgrades to HVAC filters, installation of plastic shields for office cubes, and other initiatives. •We have successfully engaged our surgeon customers and other stakeholders through the offering of virtual training sessions on the safe and effective use of our products. In 2021, more than 12,000 surgeons, healthcare providers, distributors and employees were trained via these offerings. •Going forward, we will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and take guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and federal, state, and local governments as well as public health authorities.


Engagement with Shareholders
Orthofix routinely engages with our shareholders to better understand their views, carefully considering the feedback we receive and acting when appropriate. We also review the results of the annual advisory vote on executive compensation in making determinations about the structure of Orthofix’s pay program, or whether any changes to the program should be considered.
