Election by Shareholders of Jason M. Hannon to the Board

On June 8, 2020, Orthofix Medical Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Effective as of the Annual Meeting, the size of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) was increased by the Board from eight to nine seats. As further described below under Item 5.07, at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders elected Jason M. Hannon to the Board to fill such ninth seat, consistent with a recommendation made by the Board to the Company’s shareholders. The Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board have each determined that Mr. Hannon is an independent director under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. There are no transactions involving Mr. Hannon requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The Board has not yet determined Mr. Hannon’s appointment to any committees of the Board.

Mr. Hannon will receive the Company’s standard annual fee of $70,000 for non-employee director service. He will also receive, as of June 8, 2020, pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2012 LTIP”), (i) options to acquire 24,701 shares of common stock (vesting in 1/4th increments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of grant), and (ii) a grant of 4,588 one-year time-vesting deferred stock units, which are not settled with delivered common stock until after a director ceases service.

Approval of Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of Amendment No. 1 (the “Plan Amendment”) to the 2012 LTIP, effective as of June 8, 2020. The Company’s named executive officers are participants in the 2012 LTIP. The Plan Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. The Plan Amendment increases the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2012 LTIP by 1,100,000 shares, and does not otherwise amend any existing terms of the 2012 LTIP. The text of the 2012 LTIP and the Plan Amendment are also set forth as Appendix A to the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, and the material terms of the Plan and the Plan Amendment are further described in pages 57-66 of such proxy statement.
