The Company is planning a $50 million share repurchase as a part of a previous approval by the Board. The Company may repurchase shares at its discretion, subject to applicable regulatory and other legal requirements. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such transactions will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations, and could be suspended or discontinued at any time as determined by management. Commencement of share repurchases is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2024 and the Company may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, including accelerated share repurchases, or a combination of the foregoing, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including statements related to the Company’s expectations with respect to the repurchase of common stock, including the timing and manner of any purchases under the Company’s authorized stock repurchase program. These forward-looking statements are covered by the “Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company has tried to identify these forward looking statements by using words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “intend” or similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means for identifying such statements. The Company cautions that a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause the Company’s plans and actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market conditions, applicable securities laws and alternative uses of capital. For a detailed discussion of factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results, please see the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the disclosures under “Risk Factors” in those filings. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changed circumstances or future events or for any other reason.

WHEREAS, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) sponsors and maintains the Integra Lifesciences Holdings Corporation Fifth Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was previously adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and approved by the stockholders of the Company; WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9(a) of the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has reserved the right to amend the Plan; WHEREAS, the Board believes that the number of shares of common stock of the Company remaining available for issuance under the Plan has become insufficient for the Company’s anticipated future needs under the Plan; WHEREAS, the Board has determined, following the recommendation of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) and the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Plan, subject to stockholder approval, to (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan and (ii) eliminate a provision that permits Shares withheld for taxes with respect to an Award to continue to be available for Awards under the Plan; and WHEREAS, the Board has approved the submission of this Amendment to the Company’s stockholders for approval and if, for any reason, the Company’s stockholders fail to approve this Amendment, the existing Plan shall continue in full force and effect. NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), as follows: 1. Shares Subject to the Plan.

Shares delivered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or reacquired Shares, and the Company may purchase Shares required for this purpose, from time to time, if it deems such purchase to be advisable. Any Shares still subject to an Option which expires or otherwise terminates for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the surrender thereof) without having been exercised in full, any Shares that are still subject to an Award that is forfeited, and the Shares subject to an Award which is payable in Shares or cash and that is satisfied in cash rather than in Shares shall continue to be available for Awards under the Plan.

 
-2- 2. Effective Date of Amendment. This Amendment to the Plan shall become effective upon the date that it is approved by the Company’s stockholders (the “Amendment Effective Date”) in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 3.
