ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
PART I
The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company,” "Integra LifeSciences," and “Integra” refer to Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
and its subsidiaries, unless the context suggests otherwise.
Integra LifeSciences is a global leader in regenerative tissue technologies and neurological solutions dedicated to limiting uncertainty for clinicians so they
can focus on providing the best patient care. Founded in 1989 with the acquisition of an engineered collagen technology platform used to repair and
regenerate tissue, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol
“IART.” Integra has developed numerous product lines from this technology for applications ranging from burn and deep tissue wounds to the repair of dura
mater in the brain, as well as nerves and tendons. The Company has expanded its base regenerative technology business to include surgical instruments,
neurosurgical products and advanced wound care through global acquisitions and product development to meet the evolving needs of its customers and
enhance patient care.
Integra products are sold in more than 130 countries through a direct sales force as well as distributors and wholesalers. We manufacture and sell medical
technologies and products in two reportable business segments: Codman Specialty Surgical ("CSS") and Tissue Technologies ("TT"). The CSS segment,
which represents approximately two-thirds of our total revenue, consists of market-leading technologies and instrumentation used for a wide range of
specialties, such as neurosurgery, neurocritical care and otolaryngology. We are the world leader in neurosurgery and one of the top three providers in
instruments used in precision, specialty, and general surgical procedures. Our TT segment generates about one-third of our overall revenue and focuses on
three main areas: complex wound surgery, surgical reconstruction, and peripheral nerve repair.
We have key manufacturing and research facilities located in California, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Utah,
France, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland. We source most of our handheld surgical instruments and dural sealant products through specialized third-party
vendors.
Vision
We aspire to continue to be a worldwide leader in neurosurgery and reconstructive surgery with a portfolio of leading businesses that delivers outstanding
customer experiences through innovation, execution and teamwork to positively impact the lives of millions of patients and their families.
Strategy
Integra is committed to delivering high quality products that positively impact the lives of millions of patients and their families. We focus on four key pillars
of our strategy: 1) enabling an execution-focused culture, 2) optimizing relevant scale, 3) advancing innovation and agility, and 4) leading in customer
experience. We believe that by sharpening our focus on these areas through improved planning and communication, optimization of our infrastructure, and
strategically aligned acquisitions, we can build scale, increase competitiveness and achieve our long-term goals.
To this end, the executive leadership team has established the following key priorities aligned to the following areas of focus:
Strategic Acquisitions. An important part of the our strategy is pursuing strategic transactions and licensing agreements that increase relevant scale in the
clinical areas in which Integra competes. Our growth strategy includes the acquisition of businesses, assets or products lines to increase the breadth of our
offerings, the reach of our product portfolios and drive relevant scale to our customers. On December 6, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of
Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc. ("SIA"), which develops, markets and sells DuraSorb®, a resorbable synthetic matrix for plastic and reconstructive
surgery. This acquisition will advance Integra’s global strategy in breast reconstruction, expanding plans to access the U.S. market where SIA is pursuing pre-
market approval for use in implant-based breast reconstruction ("IBBR"). We also continued to expand our product offering of regenerative technologies from
our 2021 acquisition of ACell, Inc. ("ACell"), an innovative regenerative medicine company specializing in the manufacturing of porcine urinary bladder
extracellular matrices. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K) for additional details.
New Product Introductions and Portfolio Optimization. We are investing in innovative product development to drive a multi-generational pipeline for our key
product franchises. Our product development efforts span across our key global franchises focused on potential technological innovations for significant
returns on investment. In addition to new product development, we are funding studies to gather clinical evidence to support launches, ensure market access
and improve reimbursement for existing products. In addition to acquisitions and organic reinvestment, we continually look to optimize our portfolio towards
higher growth and higher margin businesses.
As such, we may opportunistically divest businesses or discontinue products where we see limited runway for future value creation in line with our
aspirations due in part to changes in the market, business fundamentals or the regulatory environment.
4
In August 2022, we completed the sale of our non-core traditional wound care ("TWC") business to Gentell, LLC ("Gentall") for $28.8 million, which
consists of $27.8 million in cash plus $1.0 million in contingent consideration which may be received upon the achievement of certain revenue-based
performance milestones. In January 2021, we completed the sale of our Extremity Orthopedics business to Smith & Nephew USD Limited ("Smith &
Nephew"), a subsidiary of Smith & Nephew plc, for approximately $240 million in cash. Our portfolio optimization actions over the past two years have
allowed us to increase our focus on Integra’s core portfolio of market-leading products in neurosurgery, surgical instrumentation and regenerative tissue and
moves us closer to achieving our long-term organic growth and profitability targets. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for additional details.
Commercial Channel Investments. Investing in our sales channels is a core part of our strategy to create specialization and greater focus on reaching new and
existing customers and addressing their needs. To support our commercial efforts in Tissue Technologies, we utilize a two-tier specialist model to increase our
presence in focused segments to help serve the evolving needs of our customers. In addition, we continue to build upon our leadership brands across our
product franchises in both CSS and TT to engage customers through enterprise-wide contracts with leading hospitals, integrated delivery networks and global
purchasing organizations in the United States. Internationally, we have increased our commercial resources significantly in key emerging markets and are
making investments to support our sales organization and maximize our commercial opportunities. Domestically, we have also increased our TT sales force in
the United States to support the expanded regenerative tissue product portfolio that includes ACell products. These investments in our international and
domestic sales channel position us well for expansion and long-term growth.
Customer Experience. We aspire to be ranked as a best-in-class provider and are committed to strengthening our relationships with all customers. We continue
to invest in technologies, systems and processes to enhance the customer experience. In 2022, we outsourced certain transactional back-office finance and
customer service activities to enhance customer quality, build scale for future growth, and capture cost efficiencies. We also launched digital tools and
programs, resources and virtual product training to drive continued customer familiarity with our growing portfolio of medical technologies globally. .
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Integra currently manufactures and sells our products and technologies in the following two global reportable business segments: Codman Specialty Surgical
and Tissue Technologies. We include financial information regarding our reportable business segments and certain geographic information under "Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 16, Segment and Geographic Information to the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Codman Specialty Surgical
®
®
The Codman Specialty Surgical business consists of a broad portfolio of market-leading brands, such as Codman , DuraGen , DuraSeal , CUSA ,
Mayfield ,Bactiseal , and Certas Plus,which are used for the management of multiple disease states, including brain tumors, traumatic brain injury,
hydrocephalus and other neurological conditions. The growth in this business in the recent years has been fueled by geographic expansion and new product
registrations in markets, such as China, Japan, and Europe, which we expect to continue in the near-to-long term.
®
®
®
®
®
In 2022, we made progress to several enhancements to our CUSA Clarity Tissue Ablation System. The extended laparoscopic tip was launched in the U.S. to
enhance laparoscopic liver procedures. In addition, a single-sided bone tip received 510(k) clearance. Commercial launch is expected in the first quarter of
2023. We continue to update our CUSA Clarity platform by incorporating new ultrasonic handpiece and integrated electrosurgical capabilities.
Moreover, we are expanding into minimally invasive surgery ("MIS") and the surgical management of intracerebral hemorrhages ("ICH"), with the 2021
clinical launch of Aurora Surgiscope , a proprietary surgical solution with integrated visualization and capabilities designed specifically for use in deep-
seated brain lesions. We continue to gather clinical evidence using this same technology for early surgical intervention of ICH. We believe this technology
offers the promise of transforming the standard of care in neurosurgery. In 2022, we launched the Aurora Evacuator with Coagulation device in the U.S.,
designed to be used in conjunction with our Aurora Surgiscope to safely address and evacuate blood in the brain caused by hemorrhagic stroke.
®
®
®
Rounding out the portfolio is a catalog of surgical headlamps and surgical instrumentation, as well as after-market service. With thousands of surgical
instrument products, including specialty surgical instruments, we call on the central sterile processing unit of hospitals and acute care surgical centers.
Additionally, through a strong U.S. distribution model, we serve the needs of hundreds of medical offices.
We also expanded our product offerings in 2021 with the launch of our new intracranial pressure ("ICP") monitoring system, CereLink in the U.S. and
Europe and continued the global rollout in the first half of 2022. See additional discussion regarding certain matters with CereLink under "Item 1A. Risk
Factors" under the heading Risks Related to our Regulatory Environment
®
5
and under "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - General - FDA Matters" of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.
Our global commercial network includes clinical specialists, a large direct global sales force and strategic partnerships and distributors that serve hospitals,
integrated health networks, group purchasing organizations, clinicians, surgery centers and health care providers.
Tissue Technologies
The Tissue Technologies segment consists of five unique regenerative technology areas - highly engineered bovine collagen, bovine dermis, porcine urinary
®
bladder, human amniotic tissue, and resorbable synthetic mesh. This broad regenerative platform, which includes multiple leading brands such as Integra
®
Dermal Matrices, AmnioExcel , SurgiMend , MicroMatrix and NeuraGen , primarily addresses the needs of plastic, reconstructive and general surgeons
focused on the treatment of acute wounds, such as burns, chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical tissue repair, such as hernia, tendon,
peripheral nerve repair and protection. During 2022, we completed the acquisition of Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc. ("SIA"), which is seeking approval
by the U.S Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") of the PMA application for its core technology, DuraSorb, for use in IBBR.
®
®
®
We have a specialized sales organization composed of directly employed sales representatives, as well as specialty distributors, organized based upon their
call point. Our wound reconstruction sales representatives call on surgeons doing procedures in limb salvage, trauma, wound reconstruction and burns,
chronic wounds primarily in the inpatient wound care clinic setting. We also have a dedicated surgical reconstruction sales team focused on plastic and
reconstructive surgery and hernia procedures with differentiated products. Finally, we have a distributor network focused on biologics. Outside the U.S., we
have a combination of direct and indirect sales channels in international markets to sell certain product lines.
This business segment also includes private-label sales of a broad set of our regenerative and wound care technologies. Our customers are other medical
technology companies that sell to end markets primarily in spine, surgical and wound care.
®
We anticipate new product introductions and new clinical indications will continue to contribute to the growth of the segment. In 2022, we launched
NeuraGen 3D Nerve Guide Matrix, a resorbable implant for repair of peripheral nerve discontinuities and engineered to create an optimized environment for
nerve regeneration. In the third quarter of 2021, we filed the PMA application for a specific indication for SurgiMend in the use of post-mastectomy breast
reconstruction, for which we hope to obtain FDA approval in 2024.
COMPETITION
Our competitors for CSS are Medtronic, Inc., Stryker Corporation, Becton Dickinson and Company, and B. Braun Medical, Inc. In addition, we compete with
many smaller specialized companies and larger companies that do not otherwise focus on the offerings of Codman Specialty Surgical technologies. We rely
on the depth and breadth of our sales and marketing organization, our innovative technologies, and our procurement and manufacturing operations to maintain
our competitive position.
Our competition for TT includes Smith & Nephew plc, Organogenesis Holdings Inc., MiMedx Group, Inc., Allergan PLC, Becton Dickinson and Company,
and Axogen, Inc. We compete with many additional companies who partially participate in soft tissue reconstruction of complex wounds, peripheral nerve
repair and surgical reconstruction. In addition, our products also compete against medical practices that treat a condition without using a medical device or
any particular product, such as medical practices that utilize autograft tissue instead of our dermal regeneration products, duraplasty products and nerve repair
products. Depending on the product line, we compete based on our products' features, strength of our sales force or distributors, sophistication of our
technology and cost effectiveness of our solution.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Our research and development activities focus on identifying unmet surgical needs and addressing those needs with innovative solutions and products. We
apply our core competency in regenerative technology to innovate products for neurosurgical, wound applications, plastic surgery, and reconstructive surgery
and we have extensive R&D development programs for our core platforms of electromechanical technologies. Additionally, we conduct products and clinical
studies to generate efficacy and health economic evidence.
Regenerative Technologies. Integra was the first company to receive a FDA claim for regeneration of dermal tissue and is a world leader in regenerative
technology. Because regenerative technology products represent a fast-growing, high-margin opportunity for us, we allocate a large portion of our research
and development budget to these projects. Our regenerative technology development program applies our expertise in bioengineering to a range of
biomaterials including natural materials such as purified collagen, intact human or animal tissues, honey as well as resorbable synthetic polymers with our
DuraSorb and DuraSeal product lines. These unique product designs are used for neurosurgical and reconstructive surgical applications, as well as dermal
regeneration, including the healing of chronic and acute wounds, tendon and nerve repair. Our regenerative
6
technology platform includes our legacy Integra Dermal Regeneration Template ("IDRT") products and complementary technologies that we have acquired.
Our collagen manufacturing capability, combined with our history of innovation, including our launch of NeuraGen 3D, provides us with strong platform
technologies for multiple indications.
®
®
®
In 2020, we announced positive clinical and economic data on Integra Bilayer Wound Matrix ("IBWM") in complex lower extremity reconstruction based on
two retrospective studies recently published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. As
surgeons look for ways to efficiently and effectively repair and close wounds, IBWM helps address the efficiency needed in operating rooms by reducing both
the operating time and costs to hospitals and patients. In 2021, we completed one of the largest diabetic foot ulcers ("DFU"), randomized controlled trials of
the PriMatrix Dermal Repair Scaffold for the management of DFU. This multi-center study enrolled more than 225 patients with chronic DFU's over the
course of 12-week treatments and 4-week follow-up phases. The results of this study, which was published in the Journal of Wound Care, demonstrated that
PriMatrix plus standard of care ("SOC") consisting of sharp debridement, infection elimination, use of dressings and offloading was significantly more likely
to achieve complete wound closure compared with SOC alone, with a median number of one application of the product. Integra is currently pursuing pre-
market approval for implant-based breast reconstruction with our Surgimend product. In 2022, we acquired SIA, which is also pursuing a pre-market approval
for IBBR. By offering two distinct product solutions, we believe we have the opportunity to build a leading position in the market. We completed design
control activities in 2022 for a Q1 2023 launch of Cytal and MicroMatrix in Europe and a pilot launch of the Cardion Pericardial Patch to gain clinical
experience for finding a private label partner for that product.
Electromechanical Technologies and Instrumentation. Because our electromechanical products and instruments address significant needs in surgical
procedures and limit uncertainty for surgeons, we continue to invest in approvals for new indications and next generation improvements to our market-leading
products. We have several active programs focused on life cycle management and innovation for capital and disposable products in our portfolio. Our product
development efforts are focused on core clinical applications in cerebrospinal fluid ("CSF") management, neuro-critical care monitoring, minimally invasive
instruments and electrosurgery and ultrasonic medical technologies, as well as our ambition to transform the standard of care in neurosurgery with product
advancements in MIS and ICH. Our lighting franchise is among the most dynamic in the industry.
We are focused on the development of core clinical applications in our electromechanical technologies portfolio. In 2022, we made progress to several
enhancements to our CUSA Clarity Tissue Ablation System. The extended laparoscopic tip was launched in the U.S. to enhance laparoscopic liver
procedures. In addition, a single-sided bone tip received 510(k) approval. Commercial launch is expected in the first quarter of 2023. We continue to update
our CUSA Clarity platform by incorporating new ultrasonic handpiece and integrated electrosurgical capabilities. We continue to work with several
instrument partners to bring new surgical instrument platforms to the market.
We are focused on the development of core clinical applications in our electromechanical technologies portfolio. In June 2022, we launched the Neutus EVD
system, our first external ventricular drain (“EVD") in China. The Neutus EVD system is manufactured in China by Shanghai Haoju Medical Technology Co.,
®
Ltd. under an exclusive distribution arrangement. The device is used in the management of cerebrospinal fluid and is highly complementary to our Bactiseal
catheter and advanced intercranial pressure monitoring products.
®
In the third quarter of 2021, we launched our CereLink ICP Monitor System in the U.S. and Europe and continued the global rollout in the first half of 2022.
On August 18, 2022, the Company, after consultation with the FDA and other regulatory authorities outside of the United States, initiated an immediate
voluntary global product removal of all CereLink intracranial pressure monitors. See Item 1A. Risk Factors, under the heading Risks Related to our
Regulatory Environment and under Item 7. General Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - FDA Matters
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.
®
In 2022, we continued to advance the early-stage technology platforms we acquired in 2019. Through the acquisition of Arkis Biosciences, Inc. ("Arkis") we
added a platform technology, CerebroFlo external ventricular drainage ("EVD"), catheter with Endexo technology, a permanent additive designed to reduce
the potential for catheter obstruction due to thrombus formation. The CerebroFlo EVD Catheter has demonstrated an average of 99% less thrombus
accumulation onto its surface, in vitro, compared to a market leading EVD catheter. Our work to combine our bactiseal antimicrobial technology with the
Endexo anti-occlusive technology obtained through our 2019 acquisition of Arkis continues to progress for both a silicone-based hydrocephalus and EVD
project.
®
®
In 2019, we also acquired Rebound Therapeutics Corporation ("Rebound Therapeutics"), a company that specialized in single-use medical device, known as
Aurora Surgiscope, which is the only tubular retractor system designed for cranial surgery with an integrated access channel, camera and lighting. In the third
quarter of 2021, we conducted a limited clinical launch of the Aurora Surgiscope for use in minimally invasive neurosurgery as well as initiated a registry
®
called MIRROR to collect data on early surgical intervention using this same technology platform for the treatment of ICH. In 2022, we launched the Aurora
7
Evacuator with Coagulation device in the U.S., designed to be used in conjunction with our Aurora Surgiscope to safely address and evacuate blood in the
brain caused by hemorrhagic stroke.
RESOURCES
In general, raw materials essential to our businesses are readily available from multiple sources. For reasons of quality assurance, availability, or cost
effectiveness, certain components and raw materials are available only from a sole supplier. Our practice is to maintain sufficient inventory of components so
that our production will not be significantly disrupted even if a particular component or material is not available for a period of time.
Certain of our products, including but not limited to our dermal regeneration products, duraplasty products, wound care products, and nerve and tendon repair
products, contain material derived from bovine tissue. We take great care to provide products that are safe and free of agents that can cause disease. In
particular, the collagen used in the products that we manufacture is derived from the deep flexor tendon of cattle less than 24 months old from New Zealand, a
country that has never had a reported case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy ("BSE") (otherwise known as mad cow disease), from the U.S. or from fetal
bovine dermis. The World Health Organization classifies different types of cattle tissue for relative risk of BSE transmission. Deep flexor tendon and fetal
bovine skin are in the lowest-risk category for BSE transmission, and therefore considered to have a negligible risk of containing the agent that causes BSE.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We seek patent and trademark protection for our key technology, products and product improvements, both in the U.S. and in selected foreign countries.
When determined appropriate, we have enforced and plan to continue to enforce and defend our patent and trademark rights. In general, however, we do not
rely solely on our patent and trademark estate to provide us with any significant competitive advantages as it relates to our existing product lines. We also rely
upon trade secrets and continuing technological innovations to develop and maintain our competitive position. In an effort to protect our trade secrets, we
have a policy requiring our employees, consultants and advisors to execute proprietary information and invention assignment agreements upon
commencement of employment or consulting relationships with us. These agreements also provide that all confidential information developed or made known
to the individual during the course of their relationship with us must be kept confidential, except in specified circumstances.

SEASONALITY
Revenues during our fourth quarter tend to be stronger than other quarters because many hospitals increase their purchases of our products during the fourth
quarter to coincide with the end of their budget cycles in the U.S. In general, our first quarter usually has lower revenues than the preceding fourth quarter, the
second and third quarters have higher revenues than the first quarter, and the fourth quarter revenues are the highest in the year. The main exceptions to this
pattern occur because of material acquisitions as well as impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND COMPLIANCE
We are a manufacturer and marketer of medical devices and Human Tissue and Cell Based Products ("HCT/Ps") and therefore are subject to extensive
regulation by the FDA, the Center for Medicare Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, other federal governmental agencies and, in
some jurisdictions, by state and foreign governmental authorities. These regulations govern the introduction of new medical devices and HCT/Ps, the
observance of certain standards with respect to the design, manufacture, testing, labeling, promotion and sales of the products, the maintenance of certain
records, the ability to track devices, the reporting of potential product defects, the import and export of products, and other matters.
8
United States Food and Drug Administration
Our products are subject to extensive regulation particularly as to safety, efficacy and adherence to FDA Quality System Regulation, and related
manufacturing standards. Medical device products are subject to rigorous FDA and other governmental agency regulations in the United States and similar
regulations of foreign agencies abroad. The FDA regulates the design, development, research, preclinical and clinical testing, introduction, manufacture,
advertising, labeling, packaging, marketing, distribution, import and export, and record keeping for such products, in order to ensure that medical products
distributed in the United States are safe and effective for their intended use. In addition, the FDA is authorized to establish special controls to provide
reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of most devices. Non-compliance with applicable requirements can result in import detentions, fines, civil
and administrative penalties, injunctions, suspensions or losses of regulatory approvals, recall or seizure of products, operating restrictions, refusal of the
government to approve product export applications or allow us to enter into supply contracts, and criminal prosecution. The regulatory process for obtaining
product approvals and clearances can be onerous and costly. The FDA requires, as a condition to marketing a medical device in the U.S., that we secure a
Premarket Notification clearance pursuant to Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the "FD&C Act"), or an approved PMA application
(or supplemental PMA application). Obtaining these approvals and clearances can take up to several years and may involve preclinical studies and clinical
trials. The FDA also may require a post-approval clinical study as a condition of approval. To perform clinical trials for significant risk devices in the U.S. on
an unapproved product, we are required to obtain an Investigational Device Exemption from the FDA. The FDA also may require a filing for approval prior to
marketing products that are modifications of existing products or new indications for existing products. Moreover, after clearance/approval is given, if the
product is shown to be hazardous or defective, the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies have the power to withdraw the clearance or approval, as the case
may be, or require us to change the device, its manufacturing process or its labeling, to supply additional proof of its safety and effectiveness or to recall,
repair, replace or refund the cost of the medical device. Because we currently export medical devices manufactured in the U.S. that have not been approved by
the FDA for distribution in the U.S., we are required to obtain approval/registration in the country to which we are exporting and maintain certain records
relating to exports and make these available to the FDA for inspection, if required.
Human Cells, Tissues and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products
Integra, through its wholly-owned subsidiary BioD LLC ("BioD"), is involved with the recovery, processing, storage, transportation and distribution of
donated amniotic tissue. The FDA has specific regulations governing HCT/Ps. An HCT/P is a product containing, or consisting of, human cells or tissue
intended for transplantation into a human patient. Examples of HCT/Ps include bone, ligament, skin and cornea.
Some HCT/Ps fall within the definition of a biological product, medical device or drug regulated under the FD&C Act. These biologic, device or drug
HCT/Ps must comply both with the requirements exclusively applicable to HCT/Ps and, in addition, with requirements applicable to biologics, devices or
drugs, including premarket clearance or approval from the FDA.
Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act ("Section 361") authorizes the FDA to issue regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission or spread of
communicable disease. HCT/Ps regulated as “361” HCT/Ps are subject to requirements relating to registering facilities and listing products with the FDA,
screening and testing for tissue donor eligibility, and Good Tissue Practices when processing, storing, labeling, and distributing HCT/Ps, including required
labeling information, stringent record keeping, and adverse event reporting.
The American Association of Tissue Banks ("AATB") has issued operating standards for tissue banking. Compliance with these standards is a requirement in
order to become an AATB-accredited tissue establishment. In addition, some states have their own tissue banking regulations. We are licensed or have permits
for tissue banking in California, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee. In Tennessee, we are registered with the FDA Center for
Biological Evaluations and Research.
Procurement of certain human organs and tissue for transplantation is subject to the restrictions of the National Organ Transplant Act, which prohibits the
transfer of certain human organs, including skin and related tissue for valuable consideration, but permits the reasonable payment associated with the removal,
transportation, implantation, processing, preservation, quality control and storage of human tissue and skin. BioD is a registered Tissue Bank and is involved
with the recovery, storage and transportation of donated human amniotic tissue.
On June 22, 2015, the FDA issued an Untitled Letter (the "Untitled Letter") alleging that BioD's morselized amniotic membrane tissue-based products do not
meet the criteria for regulation as HCT/Ps solely under Section 361 and that, as a result, BioD would need a biologics license to lawfully market those
morselized products. Since the issuance of the Untitled Letter, BioD and the Company has made known to the FDA their disagreement with the FDA’s
assertion that certain products are more than minimally manipulated. The FDA has not changed its position that certain of the BioD acquired products are not
eligible for marketing solely under Section 361. In July 2020, the FDA issued the final guidance document related to human tissue titled, “Regulatory
Considerations for Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products: Minimal Manipulation and Homologous Use” (the “2020 HCT/P Final
Guidance”). The 2020 HCT/P Final Guidance document supersedes the November 2017 guidance by the same title.
9
The HCT/P Final Guidance maintains the FDA’s position that products such as the Company’s morselized amniotic membrane tissue-based products do not
meet the criteria for regulation solely as HCT/Ps. In addition, in the November 2017 guidance, the FDA articulated a risk-based approach to enforcement and,
while some uses for amniotic membrane tissue-based products would have as much as thirty-six months of enforcement discretion, other high risk uses could
be subject to immediate enforcement action. The 2020 HCT/P Final Guidance maintained this approach and extended the discretionary enforcement period to
May 31, 2021.
Considering the risk of enforcement action, the Company discontinued the manufacturing of all morselized amniotic membrane tissue-based products prior to
May 31, 2021. We no longer distribute these products. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not received any further notice of enforcement action from
the FDA regarding its morselized amniotic membrane tissue-based products.
Medical Device Regulations
Unless an exemption applies, the FDA requires that a manufacturer introducing a new medical device or a new indication for use of an existing medical
device obtain either a Section 510(k) premarket notification clearance or a PMA, before introducing it into the U.S. market. The type of marketing
authorization is generally linked to the classification of the device. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II or III) based on
the degree of risk the FDA determines to be associated with a device and the level of regulatory control deemed necessary to ensure the device’s safety and
effectiveness.
The process of obtaining a Section 510(k) clearance generally requires the submission of performance data and often clinical data, which in some cases can be
extensive, to demonstrate that the device is “substantially equivalent” to a device that was on the market before 1976 or to a device that has been found by the
FDA to be “substantially equivalent” to such a pre-1976 device, a predecessor device is referred to as “predicate device.” As a result, FDA clearance
requirements may extend the development process for a considerable length of time. In addition, in some cases, the FDA may require additional review by an
advisory panel, which can further lengthen the process. The PMA process, which is reserved for new devices that are not substantially equivalent to any
predicate device and for high-risk devices or those that are used to support or sustain human life, may take several years and requires the submission of
extensive performance and clinical information.
Medical devices can be marketed only for the indications for which they are cleared or approved. After a device has received 510(k) clearance for a specific
intended use, any change or modification that significantly affects its safety or effectiveness, such as a significant change in the design, materials, method of
manufacture or intended use, may require a new 510(k) clearance or PMA approval and payment of an FDA user fee. The determination as to whether or not
a modification could significantly affect the device’s safety or effectiveness is initially left to the manufacturer using available FDA guidance; however, the
FDA may review this determination to evaluate the regulatory status of the modified product at any time and may require the manufacturer to cease marketing
and recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or PMA approval is obtained. The manufacturer may also be subject to significant regulatory fines or
penalties.
We also are required to register with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and any devices we manufacture and distribute pursuant to clearance or
approval by the FDA are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA and certain state agencies. These include product listing and
establishment registration requirements, which help facilitate FDA inspections and other regulatory actions, and our manufacturing sites are subject to
periodic inspection by the FDA for compliance with the FDA's Quality System Regulations. These regulations require that we manufacture our products and
maintain our documents in a prescribed manner with respect to design, manufacturing, testing and control activities. Further, we are required to comply with
various FDA requirements and other legal requirements for labeling and promotion. If the FDA believes that a company is not in compliance with applicable
regulations, it may issue a warning letter, institute proceedings to detain or seize products, issue a recall order, impose operating restrictions, enjoin future
violations and assess civil penalties against that company, its officers or its employees and may recommend criminal prosecution to the U.S. Department of
Justice. All Integra manufacturing facilities participate in the Medical Device Single Audit Program and are audited annually for compliance with the Quality
System for US FDA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Japan.
Medical device regulations also are in effect in many of the countries in which we do business outside the U.S. In the European Economic Area ("EEA"),
which is comprised of the 27 member states of the European Union plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, medical devices need to comply with specific
requirements. These requirements were previously known as "Essential Requirements" under the former EU Medical Devices Directive (Council Directive
93/42/EEC, or MDD) and are now defined "General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR)" under the new EU Medical Devices Regulation
(Regulation (EU) 2017/745, or "EU MDR"). Although the requirements set forth in the EU MDR are generally consistent with those laid out in the MDD
(with a few exceptions), the EU MDR is intended, among other things, to establish a uniform, transparent, predictable and sustainable regulatory framework
across the EEA for medical devices and ensure a high level of safety and health while supporting innovation. These laws range from comprehensive medical
device approval and Quality System requirements for some or all of our medical device products to simpler requests for product data or certifications. Under
the European Union Medical Device Directive, medical devices must meet the Medical Device Directive standards and receive
10
CE Mark Certification prior to marketing in the EEA. Although we continue to transition our certification profile to meet the new EU MDR requirements,
these stricter regulations set forth in the EU MDR may pose additional challenges for Integra to continue marketing products in the EU as these regulations
come into force. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors - We are subject to stringent domestic and foreign medical device regulations and oversight and any adverse
action may adversely affect our ability to compete in the marketplace and our financial condition and business operations” of this Annual Report on Form 10-
K.
CE Mark Certification requires a comprehensive quality system program, technical documentation, clinical evaluation and data on the product which are then
reviewed, by a Notified Body. A Notified Body is an organization designated by the national governments of the EU member states to make independent
judgments about whether a product complies with the requirements established by each CE marking directive. The Medical Device Directive, Medical Device
Regulation, ISO 9000 series and ISO 13485 are recognized international quality standards that are designed to ensure that we develop and manufacture
quality medical devices. Other countries are also instituting regulations regarding medical devices or interpreting and enforcing existing regulations more
strictly. Compliance with these regulations requires extensive documentation and clinical reports for our products, revisions to labeling, and other
requirements such as facility inspections to comply with the registration requirements. A recognized Notified Body audits our facilities annually to verify our
compliance with the ISO 13485 Quality System standard.
Certain countries, as well as the EU, have issued regulations that govern products that contain materials derived from animal sources. Regulatory authorities
are particularly concerned with materials infected with the agent that causes BSE. These regulations affect our dermal regeneration products, duraplasty
products, hernia repair products, biomaterial products for the spine, nerve and tendon repair products and certain other products, all of which contain material
derived from bovine tissue. Although we take great care to provide that our products are safe and free of agents that can cause disease, products that contain
materials derived from animals, including our products, may become subject to additional regulation, or even be banned in certain countries, because of
concern over the potential for prion transmission. Significant new regulations, a ban of our products, or a movement away from bovine-derived products
because of an outbreak of BSE could have a material, adverse effect on our current business or our ability to expand our business. See “Item 1A. Risk
Factors – Risks Related to our Regulatory Environment" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Postmarket Requirements. After a device is cleared or approved for commercial distribution, numerous regulatory requirements apply. These include the FDA
Quality System Regulations which cover the procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging,
sterilization, storage and shipping of medical devices; the FDA's general prohibition against promoting products for unapproved or 'off-label' uses; the
Medical Device Reporting regulation, which requires that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or
serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur; and the Reports of Corrections
and Removals regulation, which require manufacturers to report recalls and field corrective actions to the FDA if initiated to reduce a risk to health posed by
the device or to remedy a violation of the FD&C Act. Postmarket requirements are also followed globally where our products are registered and approved.
These foreign jurisdictions have similar requirements to the FDA which include reporting requirements such as adverse events and recalls.
Other regulations
Anti-Bribery Laws. In the U.S., we are subject to laws and regulations pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback laws and physician
self-referral laws that regulate the means by which companies in the health care industry may market their products to hospitals and health care professionals
and may compete by discounting the prices of their products. Similar anti-bribery laws exist in many of the countries in which we sell our products outside the
U.S., as well as the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (which addresses the activities of U.S. companies in foreign markets). Our products also are
subject to regulation regarding reimbursement, and U.S. healthcare laws apply when a customer submits a claim for a product that is reimbursed under a
federally funded healthcare program. These global laws require that we exercise care in designing our sales and marketing practices, including interactions
with healthcare professionals, and customer discount arrangements. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors – We are exposed to a variety of risks relating to our
international sales and operations” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.
Import-export. Our international operations subject us to laws regarding sanctioned countries, entities and persons, customs, and import-export. Among other
things, these laws restrict, and in some cases can prevent, U.S. companies from directly or indirectly selling goods, technology or services to people or entities
in certain countries. In addition, these laws require that we exercise care in our business dealings with entities in and from foreign countries.
Hazardous materials. Our research, development and manufacturing processes involve the controlled use of certain hazardous materials. We are subject to
country-specific, federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of these materials and certain
waste products. We believe that our environmental, health and safety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply with the standards
prescribed by the controlling laws and regulations. However, risk of accidental releases or injury from these materials is possible. These risks are managed to
minimize or eliminate associated business impacts. In the event of this type of accident, we could be held liable for damages
11
and face a liability that could exceed our resources. We could be subject to a regulatory shutdown of a facility that could prevent the distribution and sale of
products manufactured there for a significant period of time, and we could suffer a casualty loss that could require a shutdown of the facility in order to repair
it, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business. Although we continuously strive to maintain full compliance with respect to all
applicable global environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, we could incur substantial costs to fully comply with future laws and regulations, and
our operations, business or assets may be negatively affected. Furthermore, global environmental, health and safety compliance is an ongoing process. Integra
has compliance procedures in place for compliance with Employee Health & Safety laws, driven by a centrally led organizational structure that ensures proper
implementation, which is essential to our overall business objectives.
In addition to the above regulations, we are, and may be, subject to regulation under country-specific federal and state laws, including, but not limited to,
requirements regarding record keeping, and the maintenance of personal information, including personal health information. As a public Company, we are
subject to the securities laws and regulations, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We also are subject to other present and could be subject to possible
future, local, state, federal and foreign regulations.
Third-Party Reimbursement. Healthcare providers that purchase medical devices generally rely on third-party payors, including, in the U.S., the Medicare and
Medicaid programs and private payors, such as indemnity insurers, employer group health insurance programs and managed care plans, to reimburse all or
part of the cost of the products. As a result, demand for our products is and will continue to be dependent in part on the coverage and reimbursement policies
of these payors. The manner in which reimbursement is sought and obtained varies based upon the type of payor involved and the setting in which the product
is furnished and utilized. Reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors may be subject to periodic adjustments as a result of
legislative, regulatory and policy changes, as well as budgetary pressures. Possible reductions in, or eliminations of, coverage or reimbursement by third-party
payors, or denial of, or provision of uneconomical reimbursement for new products may affect our customers' revenue and ability to purchase our products.
Any changes in the healthcare regulatory, payment or enforcement landscape relative to our customers' healthcare services have the potential to significantly
affect our operations and revenue.
Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Laws and Regulations. As a business with a significant global footprint, compliance with evolving regulations and standards
in data privacy and cybersecurity (relating to the confidentiality and security of our information technology systems, products such as medical devices, and
other services provided by us) may result in increased costs, lower revenue, new complexities in compliance, new challenges for competition, and the threat
of increased regulatory enforcement activity. Our business relies on the secure electronic transmission, storage and hosting of sensitive information, including
personal information, financial information, intellectual property, and other sensitive information related to our customers and workforce.
For example, in the U.S., the collection, maintenance, protection, use, transmission, disclosure and disposal of certain personal information and the security of
medical devices are regulated at the U.S. federal and state, and industry levels. U.S. federal and state laws protect the confidentiality of certain patient health
information, including patient medical records, and restrict the use and disclosure of patient health information by health care providers. For example, in the
U.S. we are obligated to comply with the requirements of the Health Insurance and Portability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (collectively, “HIPPA”). Under HIPAA, the Department of Health and Human Services has issued
regulations, including the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules, to protect the privacy and security of protected health information used or
disclosed by covered entities including health care providers and their business associates, as well as covered subcontractors. HIPAA also regulates
standardization of data content, codes and formats used in health care transactions and standardization of identifiers for health plans and providers. Penalties
for violations of HIPAA regulations include significant civil and criminal penalties for each violation. In addition, the FDA has issued guidance advising
manufacturers to take cybersecurity risks into account in product design for connected medical devices and systems, to assure that appropriate safeguards are
in place to reduce the risk of unauthorized access or modification to medical devices that contain software and reduce the risk of introducing threats into
hospital systems that are connected to such devices. The FDA also issued guidance on post market management of cyber security in medical devices.
Outside the U.S., we are impacted by the privacy and data security requirements at the international, national and regional level, and on an industry specific
basis. Legal requirements in these countries relating to the collection, storage, handling and transfer of personal data and, potentially, intellectual property
continue to evolve with increasingly strict enforcement regimes. In Europe, for example, we are subject to EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR")
which requires member states to impose minimum restrictions on the collection, use and transfer of personal data and includes, among other things, a
requirement for prompt notice of data breaches to data subjects and supervisory authorities in certain circumstances and significant fines for non-compliance.
The GDPR also requires companies processing personal data of individuals residing in the EU to comply with EU privacy and data protection rules.
12
Please refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors – We are subject to requirements relating to information technology which could adversely affect our business” of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion of the risks accompanying compliance with data privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations.
These laws and regulations impact the ways in which we use and manage personal data, protected health information, and our information technology
systems. They also impact our ability to move, store, and access data across geographic boundaries. Compliance with these requirements may require changes
in business practices, complicate our operations, and add complexity and additional management and oversight needs. They also may complicate our clinical
research activities, as well as product offerings that involve transmission or use of clinical data.
HUMAN CAPITAL
Workforce Demographics
As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 3,722 regular full and part time employees and 874 contingent, subcontracted, and outsourced partners.
70% of our employees are located in the United States, 21% in Europe, 2% in Latin America and Canada and 7% in Asia Pacific which includes Australia and
New Zealand.
Diversity and Inclusion
A diverse workforce and an inclusive culture and work environment is a business priority and a key to our long-term success. Our commitment to diversity
and inclusion starts at the top with our Board of Directors and CEO. At all levels of the Company, we focus on attracting, retaining, and developing our
diverse talent.
Leadership Commitment and Accountability
Executive leadership set diversity and inclusion goals for the Company on an annual basis. Advancing diversity and inclusion initiatives to build stronger
teams has been a company-wide goal and the direct engagement of executive leadership in advancing diversity and inclusion initiatives helps to promote
awareness throughout the Company.
Leadership Councils, Employee Resource Groups and External Partnerships
We are accountable to our diversity commitment through our leadership councils, employee resource groups, and external partnerships.
•
The Women’s Leadership Council, established in 2017 and chaired by our President & Chief Executive Officer, Jan De Witte, is a results-oriented
advisory group comprised of ten of our senior women leaders across Integra. The
13
specific charter of the Council is to work together to identify ways to continue to attract and retain female talent, advance the development of our
women into leadership roles, increase the cultural awareness of the value of inclusion and diversity in our Company, and create specific development
forums for our high performing women at Integra.
•
Employee Resources Groups encourage a culture of awareness and inclusion, assist in the attraction and retention of diverse talent, and help
colleagues develop leadership skills. Members of the Executive Leadership Team serve as sponsors for each of Integra’s employee resource groups.
Integra currently has six Employee Resources Groups:
◦ Women of Integra Networks (WIN) with 20+ chapters globally
◦ African American Affinity Group
◦ Veteran Employee Resource Group
◦
◦ Asian American and Pacific Islander Network
◦
Integra PRIDE (LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group)
Indian American Network
• We reinforce our commitment to diversity by partnering with other organizations focused on driving inclusion in the workplace including the CEO
Action for Diversity & Inclusion, the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion in the work place and Healthcare
Businesswomen’s Association, an association dedicated to further the advancement and impact of women in the business of healthcare.
Promoting an inclusive culture through learning opportunities
To help drive our culture of inclusion, our colleagues participate in programs focused on how to manage bias, value differences, and develop inclusive
leadership skills.
• Members of our executive leadership, senior management team, and larger scope leaders participated in a ½ day Microinequities training. The
content includes understanding unconscious bias and microinequities, how to identify microinequities in day-to-day decisions and actions as leaders,
and ways to mitigate microinequities on an individual and organizational level.
In 2020, we launched two foundational programs to promote diversity and inclusion: Introduction to Managing Unconscious Bias, a course that
creates awareness of unconscious biases in the workplaces and tools to build-bias breaking skills and Practicing Inclusion which examines what
practicing inclusion in the workplace looks like. These trainings are now mandatory for all new Integra hires.
•
• We regularly provide educational content and resources to aid our colleagues as they build cultural competency and inclusive leadership skills
Gender Diversity
We believe that our company is stronger and will deliver strong operating results, when we build diverse teams and leverage broad perspectives to meet the
needs of our shareholders, customers, colleagues, and communities we serve.
The breakout of our colleagues by gender:
48% of Integra’s overall population is female, 52% male. We continue to strive to ensure our diversity in our leadership ranks is representative of our overall
population. Through mentorship, sponsorship, recruitment efforts, and development programs we look to continue to grow our population of females in
leadership roles at Integra. Currently, 38% of our executive leaders and 43% of senior leaders (non-executive vice presidents) are female.
14
In partnership with Leadership Edge, a company founded by women leaders and dedicated to growing and mentoring women. Integra sponsors the Excel
Women’s Leadership Program. The program is designed to accelerate the development and advancement of high potential, mid-career female leaders into
senior leadership roles. The program has assisted in further building our pipeline of women leaders with 60% of the program’s graduates being promoted into
roles with increased responsibility.
Compensation and Benefits
Our compensation philosophy is designed to reinforce and align with our mission, business strategy, and financial needs. We invest in the physical, emotional and
financial well-being of our employees through our robust compensation and benefit programs. We provide market-competitive compensation and benefits
based on benchmarking surveys we conduct regularly for all position levels against relevant peer companies. Our annual and long-term incentive packages are
linked directly to business and individual performance, with a balance of short- and long-term financial and strategic objectives. We have an employee stock
purchase plan. Eligibility for non-salary benefits such as salary continuance, life insurance, health insurance, and similar benefits, follows local regulations
and practices.
Integra is a pay-for-performance company committed to fair pay. All compensation decisions are made without regard to personal characteristics such as, but
not limited to, gender, race, color, national or ethnic origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, religion, or
veteran status. As part of our commitment to compensation equity, Integra regularly conducts a pay equity analysis, reviewing how our organization
compensates employees against external and internal data in conjunction with the role and scope of each position and making adjustments if necessary.
Talent Development and Retention
We have comprehensive and effective human capital development programs in place because we believe that the personal success of our employees is critical
to the overall success of our business. To build a diverse and talented organization, we have invested in honing our recruiting and hiring processes to attract
top talent and engage new hires from the very beginning of their experience at Integra.
We offer a variety of opportunities for our employees to learn and grow. Continued learning and development is a critical component of employee job
satisfaction, retention, and career advancement—and ultimately, a driver of business success. We encourage and promote experiential, collaborative, and
formal learning programs. Employees are also encouraged to discuss with their managers the skills, training, and experience needed to grow and develop. In
addition to several skills-based trainings
15
available (technical, sales, leadership ability) to all employees, managers may recommend external job-specific development programs to employees. These
programs are paid for directly by Integra.
Employee Health and Safety:
Integra is committed to providing a safe environment for all employees and visitors. We rely on our environmental, health and safety management systems as
well as entrusting our managers to oversee and ensure health and safety at their respective sites and foster a workplace culture to achieve that end. We
implement our approach globally by our systems and support at regional and country levels from colleagues that implement proper safety protocols, identify
and correct hazards, and remain safety conscious at all times. Managers are expected to enforce health and safety regulations, including compliance with
applicable federal, state and local laws. Our Environmental Health and Safety ("EH&S") organizational structure incorporates both workplace EH&S
coordinators and compliance teams. We have developed an Incident Procedure Policy and General Safety Rules that guide our colleagues to improve our
workplace environment, improve safety, and reduce risk and costs.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have placed a high priority on employee health, providing resources to support our workforce. At the outset of the
pandemic, we sought to protect the health and safety of our employees unable to work remotely, including those in research and development, quality,
manufacturing, distribution and sales roles. Such measures included the institution of robust hygiene practices, distribution of personal protective equipment,
and the adoption of increased sanitation and social distancing protocols. We continue to actively monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants and
respond based on guidance from U.S. and global health organizations, relevant governmental guidance, and evolving practices.
Employee Engagement & Wellbeing
We regularly seek employee feedback and sentiment about our workplace through global engagement surveys conducted on a bi-annual basis. After each
survey is complete, we share detailed results with senior management and all employees within each department. Each function or division appoints survey
administrators who work with their respective teams to understand the feedback and establish action items. We believe this process enables us to monitor
employee engagement and create a continuously improving, satisfying work environment for our employees.
We are committed to improving the quality of life of our employees and their families. Our health and wellbeing programs differ by country and typical
benefits include comprehensive health insurance, disability coverage, workplace accommodations, parental leave and other leaves of absence based on health
or life events (e.g., bereavement), employee assistance programs, fitness reimbursement, and flu shots. We also provide on-demand health advocates to help
employees navigate the health insurance system, access to digital health solutions, a weight management program, smoking cessation assistance, a substance
use disorder helpline, a diabetes health program and other similar programs to drive healthy behaviors and awareness.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
GLOBAL CHALLENGES AND MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The continuing worldwide macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty may adversely affect our business and prospects.
Global economic disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic, have continued to impact the global supply chain, primarily through constraints on raw
materials and electronic components. Additionally, we have observed a reduction in both inbound and outbound transportation capacity as a result of port
closures and delays associated with the pandemic, which is causing longer lead times in receiving raw materials, as well as increased freight costs. These
highly competitive and constrained supply chain conditions are increasing our cost of sales, which has and may continue to adversely impact our profitability.
Given the ongoing uncertainty regarding the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are uncertain as to the duration and extent of constraint on
our supply chain and are unable to predict the extent to which it will affect our global operations.
Continued concerns about the systemic impact of potential long-term and wide-spread recession and geopolitical issues, including the war in Ukraine, have
contributed to increased market volatility and diminished expectations for economic growth in the world. Our business and results of operations have been
and may continue to be adversely impacted by changes in macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates and the accessibility of capital
markets. Uncertainty about global economic conditions may also cause decreased demand for our products and services and increased competition, which
could result in lower sales volume and downward pressure on the prices for our products, longer sales cycles, and slower adoption of new technologies. A
weakening of macroeconomic conditions may also adversely affect our suppliers, which could result in interruptions in supply.
Market acceptance of our medical products in the U.S. and other countries is dependent upon the medical equipment purchasing and procurement practices of
our customers, patient need for our products and procedures and the reimbursement of patients' medical expenses by government healthcare programs and
third-party payors. The continuing uncertainty surrounding global economic conditions and financial markets may cause the purchasers of medical equipment
to decrease their procurement activities. Economic uncertainty, an increase in unemployment rates, as well as increasing health insurance premiums, co-
payments and deductibles may adversely affect demand for our products and procedures. Furthermore, governments and other third-party payors around the
world facing tightening budgets could move to further reduce the reimbursement rates or the scope of coverage offered, which could adversely affect sales of
our products.
Public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have had, and could in the future have, a negative effect on our business.
17
Our global operations and interactions with healthcare systems, providers and patients around the world expose us to risks associated with public health
crises, including epidemics and pandemics such as COVID-19. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause significant volatility and uncertainty
in the global and regional economies, leading to changes in consumer and business behavior, market fluctuations, materials and product shortages and
restrictions on business and individual activities, all of which are materially impacting supply and demand in broad sectors of the world markets. Additionally,
the COVID-19 pandemic, together with general macroeconomic conditions, have led to disruptions in the global supply chain, primarily through a lack of
availability of raw materials and electronic components. We have experienced challenges associated with material and component availability for certain
product lines, longer shipping and delivery times for raw materials and components, constrained logistics capacity related to the movement of our products,
availability of skilled labor and increased costs of raw materials, components, labor, and freight and courier services. Regional COVID-19 case volumes
(including those related to subsequent variants), actions taken by governmental authorities, private businesses and individuals, such as “shelter-in-place”
orders and restrictions on travel and access to our customers or temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our suppliers, disruption and/or higher
costs to the Company’s supply chain, staffing shortages in hospitals and labor constraints in our facilities, could further impact our gross margins and our
ability to ship our products and supply our customers.
The emergence of new variants, vaccinations and public health measures are driving the pace of economic recovery unevenly in various regions. The direct
and indirect disruptions caused by the pandemic and the responses of both governments and individuals could negatively impact the number of surgical and
medical intervention procedures performed and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The
extent to which fear of exposure to or actual effects of COVID-19, new variants, disease outbreak, epidemic or a similar widespread health concern impacts
our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the speed and extent of
geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, the efficacy of vaccination and treatment; impact on the U.S. and
international healthcare systems, the U.S. economy and worldwide economy; the timing, scope and effectiveness of U.S. and international governmental
response; and the impact on the health, well-being and productivity of our employees.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
Our operating results may fluctuate.
Our operating results, including components of operating results such as gross margin and operating expenses, may fluctuate from time to time, and such
fluctuations could affect our stock price. Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and can be expected to do so from time to time in the future. Some
of the factors that may cause these fluctuations include:
•
economic conditions worldwide, which could affect the ability of hospitals and other customers to purchase our products and could result in a
reduction in elective and non-reimbursed operative procedures;
the impact of acquisitions, our ability to integrate acquisitions, and our restructuring activities including portfolio rationalization, and divestitures;
risks related to COVID-19 and other epidemics or similar widespread health concerns;
expenditures for major initiatives, including acquired businesses and integrations thereof and restructuring;
the timing of significant customer orders, which tend to increase in the fourth quarter coinciding with the end of budget cycles;
increased competition for a wide range of customers across all our product lines in the markets our products are sold;
•
•
•
•
•
• market acceptance of our existing products, as well as products in development;
•
•
•
•
•
•
retention of current employees and recruiting of new employees in light of market competition for talent and relevant skills;
the timing of regulatory approvals as well as changes in country-specific regulatory requirements;
changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies of countries in which we do business;
changes in the variable interest rates of our debt instruments which could impact debt service requirements;
potential backorders, lost sales and expenses incurred in connection with product recalls or field corrective actions;
disruption of our operations and sales resulting from extreme weather conditions or natural disasters that damage our manufacturing, distribution, or
infrastructure of those facilities, or the suppliers and service providers for those facilities;
our ability to manufacture and ship our products efficiently or in sufficient quantities to meet sales demands;
changes in the cost or decreases in the supply of raw materials and services, including sterilization, energy, steel and honey;
the timing of our research and development expenditures;
reimbursement for our products by third-party payors such as Medicare, Medicaid, private and public health insurers and foreign governmental
health systems;
the ability to maintain existing distribution rights to and from certain third parties;
the ability to maintain business if or when we opt to convert such business from distributors to a direct sales model;
the ability of our commercial sales representatives to obtain sales targets in a reasonable time frame;
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
18
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the impact of changes to our sales organization, continued channel expansion, including increased specialization;
peer-reviewed publications discussing the clinical effectiveness of the products we sell;
inspections of our manufacturing facilities for compliance with Quality System Regulations (Good Manufacturing Practices), which could result in
Form 483 observations, warning letters, injunctions or other adverse findings from the FDA or from equivalent regulatory bodies, and corrective
actions, procedural changes and other actions that we determine are necessary or appropriate to address the results of those inspections, any of which
may affect production and our ability to supply our customers with our products;
changes in regulations or guidelines that impact the sales and marketing practices for products that we sell;
the increased regulatory scrutiny of certain of our products, including products which we manufacture for others, could result in removal from the
market or involve field corrective actions that could affect the marketability of our products;
enforcement or defense of intellectual property rights;
changes in tax laws, or their interpretations; and
the impact of goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges if future operating results of the acquired businesses are significantly less than the
results anticipated at the time of the acquisitions.
The industry and market segments in which we operate are highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete effectively with other companies.
There is intense competition among medical device companies. We compete with established medical technology companies in many of our product areas.
Competition also comes from early-stage companies, universities, research institutions and other non-profit entities. In certain cases, our products compete
primarily against medical practices that treat a condition without using a device or any particular product, such as the medical practices that use autograft
tissue instead of our dermal regeneration products, duraplasty products and nerve repair products, or that use other technologies that cost less than our
products. Many of our competitors have access to greater financial, technical, research and development, marketing, manufacturing, sales, distribution,
administrative, consulting and other resources than we do. Our competitors may be more effective at developing commercial products or navigating the
regulatory approval process in the markets in which we operate. They may be able to gain market share by offering lower-cost products or products that enjoy
better reimbursement from third-party payors and foreign governmental health systems.
Our competitive position depends on our ability to achieve market acceptance for our products, develop new products, implement marketing plans, secure
regulatory approval for products under development, demonstrate clinical and economic effectiveness, obtain and maintain reimbursement coverage and
funding under third-party payors and foreign governmental health systems, obtain patent protection and produce products consistently in sufficient quantities
to meet demand. We may need to develop new applications for our products to remain competitive. Technological advances by one or more of our current or
future competitors or their achievement of superior reimbursement from third-party payors and foreign governmental health systems could render our present
or future products obsolete or uneconomical. Our future success will depend upon our ability to compete effectively against current technology as well as to
respond effectively to technological advances, changes in customers' requirements or in payor or regulatory evidence requirements. Additionally, purchasing
decisions of our customers may be based on clinical evidence or comparative effectiveness studies and, because of our vast array of products, we might not be
able to fund the studies necessary to gain entry or maintain our position or provide the required information to compete effectively. Other companies may
have more resources available to fund such studies. For example, competitors have launched and are developing products to compete with our dural repair
products, regenerative skin, neuro critical care monitors and ultrasonic tissue ablation devices, among others. In the current environment of managed care,
consolidation among health care providers, increased competition, and declining reimbursement rates, we have been increasingly required to compete on the
basis of price. Competitive pressures could adversely affect our profitability. Given these factors, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete
effectively or continue our level of success in the areas in which we compete.
Changes in the healthcare industry may require us to decrease the selling price for our products, may reduce the size of the market for our products, or
may eliminate a market, any of which could have a negative impact on our financial performance.
Trends toward managed care, healthcare cost containment and other changes in government and private sector initiatives in the U.S. and other countries in
which we do business are placing increased emphasis on the delivery of more cost-effective medical therapies that could adversely affect the sale and/or the
prices of our products. For example:
•
•
third-party payors of hospital services and hospital outpatient services, including Medicare, Medicaid, private and public health insurers and foreign
governmental health systems, annually revise their payment methodologies, which can result in stricter standards for reimbursement of hospital
charges for certain medical procedures or the elimination of reimbursement;
several foreign countries have implemented reforms of their respective healthcare sectors in an effort to reduce healthcare spending, including
restricting funding to only those medical technologies and procedures with proven effectiveness, increasing patient co-payments and providing for
payback measures. Governmental health systems have revised and continue to consider revisions of healthcare budgets, which could result in stricter
standards for implementing certain medical procedures, increased scrutiny of medical devices, and downward pricing pressure;
19
• Medicare, Medicaid, private and public health insurer and foreign governmental cutbacks could create downward pricing pressure on our products;
•
in the U.S., Medicare and Medicaid coverage as well as commercial payor coverage determinations could reduce or eliminate reimbursement or
coverage for certain of our wound matrix, amniotic, surgical reconstruction and advanced wound dressing products as well as other products in most
regions, negatively affecting our market for these products, and future determinations could reduce or eliminate reimbursement or coverage for these
products in other regions and could reduce or eliminate reimbursement or coverage for other products;
there has been a consolidation among healthcare facilities and purchasers of medical devices in the U.S., some of whom prefer to limit the number of
suppliers from whom they purchase medical products, and these entities may decide to stop purchasing our products or demand discounts on our
prices;
in the U.S., we are party to contracts with group purchasing organizations, which negotiate pricing for many member hospitals, require us to discount
our prices for certain of our products and limit our ability to raise prices for certain of our products, particularly surgical instruments;
there is economic pressure to contain healthcare costs in domestic and international markets, and, regardless of the consolidation discussed above,
providers generally are exploring ways to cut costs by eliminating purchases or driving reductions in the prices that they pay for medical devices, or
increasing clinical or economic evidence thresholds for product formularies;
there are proposed and existing laws, regulations and industry policies in domestic and international markets regulating the sales and marketing
practices and the pricing and profitability of companies in the healthcare industry;
proposed laws or regulations may permit hospitals to provide financial incentives to doctors for reducing hospital costs, will award physician
efficiency, and will encourage partnerships with healthcare service and goods providers to reduce prices; and
there have been initiatives by third-party payors and foreign governmental health systems to challenge the prices charged for medical products that
could affect our ability to sell products on a competitive basis.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Any and all of the above factors could materially and adversely affect our levels of revenue and our profitability.
Our current strategy involves growth through acquisitions, which requires us to incur substantial costs and potential liabilities for which we may never
realize the anticipated benefits, and also requires us to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our business operations in order to avoid our
business being materially and adversely affected.
In addition to internally generated growth, our current strategy involves growth through acquisitions. Between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022, we
have acquired two businesses at a total cost of approximately $358.4 million which amount includes our acquisition of ACell, Inc. in January 2021 for $306.9
million and our acquisition of Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc. for $51.5 million in December 2022. Both of these acquisitions added products to our
complex wound management and plastic and reconstructive surgery product portfolios, respectively, and provides additional growth opportunities for our TT
segment.
We may be unable to continue to implement our growth strategy and it may ultimately be unsuccessful. A significant portion of our growth in revenues has
resulted from, and is expected to continue to result from, the acquisition of businesses or products complementary to our own. We engage in evaluations of
potential acquisitions and are in various stages of discussion regarding possible acquisitions, certain of which, if consummated, could be significant to us. Any
new acquisition could result in material transaction expenses, increased operating, amortization and interest expenses, and possible in-process research and
development charges for acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a “business,” any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our operating
results. Certain businesses that we acquire may not have adequate financial, disclosure, regulatory, quality or other compliance controls at the time we acquire
them and could require significant expenditures to address those controls or subject us to increased risk. As we grow by acquisition, we must manage and
integrate the new businesses to bring them into our systems for financial, disclosure, compliance, regulatory and quality control, realize economies of scale,
and control costs. Failure to integrate acquired businesses and operations (including acquired employees and systems), retain key customers and suppliers of
any acquired business or manage the cost of providing our products or price our products appropriately could preclude realization of the full benefits that we
expect from there transactions. Our failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating the business in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the
acquisitions could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, our activities and could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. In
addition, acquisitions involve other risks, including diversion of management resources otherwise available for the running of our business and the
development of our business as well as risks associated with entering markets in which our marketing teams and sales force has limited experience or where
experienced distribution alliances are not available. Some acquisitions may include the need for ongoing product development to occur consistent with time
sensitive milestones in order for the Company to achieve its commercial projections for the acquisition. Our future profitability will depend in part upon our
ability to develop our resources to adapt to these new products or business areas and to identify and enter into or maintain satisfactory distribution networks.
As a result of our acquisitions of other healthcare businesses, we may be subject to the risk of unanticipated business uncertainties, regulatory and other
compliance matters or legal liabilities relating to those acquired businesses for which the sellers of the acquired businesses may not indemnify us, for which
we may not be able to obtain insurance (or adequate insurance), or for which the indemnification may not be sufficient to cover the ultimate liabilities. We
20
may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future, obtain acceptable financing or consummate any future acquisitions. Certain potential
acquisitions are subject to antitrust and competition laws, which laws could impact our ability to pursue strategic acquisitions and could result in mandated
divestitures. If we are unsuccessful in our acquisition strategy, we may be unable to meet our financial targets and our financial performance could be
materially and adversely affected.
These risks may be heightened in cases where the majority of the former businesses’ operations, employees and customers are located outside the U.S. Any
one or all of these factors could increase operating costs or lower anticipated financial performance. Many of these factors are also outside of our control. In
addition, dispositions of certain key products, technologies and other rights, including pursuant to conditions imposed on us to obtain regulatory approvals,
may affect our business operations.
Even if the operations of the businesses are integrated successfully, we may not realize the full benefits of the acquisition, including the synergies, cost
savings or sales or growth opportunities that we expect. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Additional
unanticipated costs could be incurred in the integration of the businesses. All of these factors could cause a reduction to our earnings per share, decrease or
delay the expected accretive effect of the transaction, and negatively impact the price of our common stock.
Our future financial results could be adversely affected by impairments or other charges.
We are required to test both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis based upon a fair value approach, rather than
amortizing them over time. We are also required to test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs
such as a significant decline in revenues or cash flows for certain products, or the discount rates used in the calculations of discounted cash flows change
significantly, or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce our enterprise fair value below its book value. If such a decline, rate change or
circumstance were to materialize, we may record an impairment of these intangible assets that could be material to the financial statements. See
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates” of this report.
The guidance on long-lived assets requires that we assess the impairment of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable as measured by the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows.
Also, Company decisions and other economic factors relating to our trade names may occur over time. For instance, we may discontinue certain products in
the future as we continue to assess the profitability of our product lines. As a result, we may need to record impairment charges or accelerate amortization on
certain trade names or technology-related intangible assets in the future.
The value of a medical device business is often volatile, and the assumptions underlying our estimates made in connection with our assessments under the
guidance may change as a result of that volatility or other factors outside our control and may result in impairment charges. The amount of any such
impairment charges could be significant and have a material, adverse effect on our reported financial results for the period in which the charge is taken and
could have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities, including the notes and the common stock into which they may be converted.
Lack of market acceptance for our products or market preference for technologies that compete with our products could reduce our revenues and
profitability.
Market acceptance of our products depends on many factors, including our ability to convince prospective customers that our technology is an attractive
alternative to other technologies, to manufacture products in sufficient quantities and at acceptable costs, and to supply and service sufficient quantities of our
products directly or through our distribution alliances. For example, the use of autograft tissue is a well-established means for repairing the dermis, and it
competes for acceptance in the market with our collagen-based wound care products. In addition, unfavorable payment amounts or adverse coverage
determinations of third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid, private and public health insurers, and foreign governmental health systems, regarding
our products or third-party determinations that favor a competitor’s product over ours, could harm acceptance or continued use of our products. For example,
greater market acceptance of our wound graft products may ultimately depend on our ability to demonstrate that coverage and reimbursement are available
and favorable, or because they are an attractive, cost-effective alternative to other treatment options.
If there are negative events in the healthcare industry, whether real or perceived, there could be a negative impact on the industry as a whole. The industry is
subject to rapid and continuous change arising from, among other things, consolidation, technological improvements, the pressure on governments, third-party
payors and providers to reduce healthcare costs, and healthcare reform legislation and initiatives domestically and internationally. In addition, our future
success depends, in part, on our ability to license and develop additional products. Even if we determine that a product candidate has medical benefits, the
cost of commercializing, either through internal development or payments associated with licensing arrangements, could be too high to justify development
and we could ultimately face competitors with more effective products and better reimbursement status that cost less and are ready for commercial
introduction before our products. If we are unable to develop additional commercially viable products, our future prospects could be materially and adversely
affected.
21
One or more of these factors could vary unpredictably, and such variations could have a material, adverse effect on our competitive position. We may not be
able to adjust our contemplated plan of development to meet changing market demands.
It could be difficult to replace some of our suppliers.
Outside vendors, some of whom are sole-source suppliers, provide key components and raw materials used in the manufacture of our products. Although we
believe that alternative sources for many of these components and raw materials are available, any interruption in supply of a limited or sole-source
component or raw material could harm our ability to manufacture our products until a new or alternative source of supply is identified and qualified. In
addition, an uncorrected defect or supplier’s variation in a component or raw material, either unknown to us or incompatible with our manufacturing process,
could harm our ability to manufacture products. We may not be able to find a sufficient alternative supplier in a reasonable time period, or on commercially
reasonable terms, if at all, and our ability to produce and supply our products could be impaired. We believe that these factors are most likely to affect the
following products that we sell:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
®
our collagen-based products and bovine-based products, such as the Integra Dermal Regeneration Template and wound matrix products, the
DuraGen family of products, our Absorbable Collagen Sponges, PriMatrix and SurgiMend products;
our products made from silicone, such as our neurosurgical shunts and drainage systems and hemodynamic shunts;
products which use many different specialty parts, electrical components, or chemicals from numerous suppliers, such as our intracranial monitors,
shunts, catheters, tissue ablation, and headlights;
our biosynthetic products, including the DuraSeal sealant system and DuraSorb biosynthetic mesh scaffold;
products which are amniotic tissue-based
products which are porcine tissue-based;
products that use medical grade leptospermum honey, such as our Medihoney products; and
our TCC-EZ total contact cast system products.
®
®
The availability of amniotic tissue-based products depends upon, among other factors, the availability of tissue from human donors. Access to donated
amniotic tissue could also be adversely impacted by regulatory changes or evolving public perceptions of the donor process.
Additionally, many of our products require sterilization by third-party suppliers. To the extent these suppliers are unable to provide sterilization services,
whether due to lack of capacity, regulatory requirements, environmental concerns such as those relating to ethylene oxide or otherwise, we may be unable to
transition sterilization to other suppliers in a timely or cost effective manner, or at all, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results.
Our supply chain and our cost of goods also may be negatively impacted by unanticipated price increases due to factors such as global economic disruptions,
electronic component shortages, fear of future or ongoing pandemics, inflation, including wage inflation, recessionary conditions and geopolitical events,
including the war in Ukraine, all of which are beyond our control or the control of our suppliers.
While it is our policy to maintain sufficient inventory of components so that our production will not be significantly disrupted even if a particular component
or material is not available for a period of time, we remain at risk that we will not be able to qualify new components or materials quickly enough to prevent a
disruption if one or more of our suppliers ceases production of important components or materials.
We may experience difficulties, delays, performance impact or unexpected costs from consolidation of facilities and transfer of manufacturing facilities.
In recent years, we consolidated several facilities or transferred manufacturing operations from third parties to our existing internal manufacturing facilities
and may further undertake similar consolidations or transfers in the future in order to improve our cost structure, achieve increased operating efficiencies, and
improve our competitive standing or results of operations and/or to address unfavorable economic conditions. As part of these initiatives, we may also lose
favorable tax incentives or not be able to renew leases on acceptable terms. We may further reduce staff, make changes to certain capital projects, close
certain production operations and abandon leases for certain facilities that will not be used in our operations. In conjunction with any actions, we will continue
to make significant investments and build the framework for our future growth. We may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits and savings
from these efforts because of unforeseen difficulties, delays, implementation issues or unexpected costs. If we are unable to achieve or maintain all of the
resulting savings or benefits to our business or other unforeseen events occur, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We may have significant product liability exposure and our insurance may not cover all potential claims.
We are exposed to product liability and other claims if our technologies or products are alleged to have caused harm. We may not be able to obtain insurance
for the potential liability on acceptable terms with adequate coverage or at reasonable costs. Any potential product liability claims could exceed the amount of
our insurance coverage or may be excluded from coverage under the terms of the policy. Our insurance may not be renewed at a cost and level of coverage
comparable to that then in effect.
22
Economic and political instability around the world could adversely affect the ability of hospitals, other customers, suppliers and distributors to access
funds or otherwise have available liquidity, which could reduce orders for our products or interrupt our production or distribution or result in a reduction
in elective and non-reimbursed operative procedures.
Economic and political instability around the world could adversely affect the ability of hospitals and other customers to access funds to enable them to fund
their operating and capital budgets. As a result, hospitals and other customers could reduce budgets or put all or part of their budgets on hold or close their
operations, which could have a negative effect on our sales, particularly the sales of capital equipment such as our ultrasonic surgical aspirators,
neuromonitors and cranial stabilization products, or result in a reduction in elective and non-reimbursed procedures. The occurrence of those economic
conditions could make it more difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities and depending on their severity, could have a
material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our private-label product lines depend significantly on key relationships with third parties, which we could be unable to establish and maintain.
Our private-label business depends in part on entering into and maintaining long-term supply agreements with third parties. The third parties with whom we
have entered into agreements might terminate these agreements for a variety of reasons, including developing other sources for the products that we supply.
Termination of our most important relationships could adversely affect our expectations for the growth of private-label products.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
The adoption of healthcare reform in the U.S. and initiatives sponsored by other governments may adversely affect our business, results of operations
and/or financial condition.
Our operations may be substantially affected by potential fundamental changes in the global political, economic and regulatory landscape of the healthcare
industry. Government and private sector initiatives to limit the growth of healthcare costs are continuing in the U.S., and in many other countries in which we
do business, causing the marketplace to put increased emphasis on the delivery of more cost-effective treatments. These initiatives include price regulation,
competitive pricing, coverage and payment policies, comparative effectiveness of therapies, technology assessments and managed-care arrangements. The
adoption of some or all of these initiatives could have a material, adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In the United States, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”), signed into law in March 2010, includes several provisions that impact our
businesses in the U.S. The ACA includes provisions that, among other things, reduce and/or limit Medicare reimbursement, require all individuals to have
health insurance (with limited exceptions), and require detailed disclosure of transfers of value made to healthcare professionals. Other legislative changes
have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted, including The Budget Control Act of 2011, The American Taxpayer Relief Act
of 2012 and Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which, among other things, have reduced payments under Medicare and Medicaid to
certain healthcare providers or altered the formula by which Medicare makes annual payment adjustments. Congress also drafts and introduces, from time to
time, legislation that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the regulation of medical devices. In addition, the FDA may change its
clearance and approval policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, which may prevent or delay approval or
clearance of our future products under development or impact our ability to modify our currently cleared products on a timely basis. For example, over the
last several years, the FDA has proposed reforms to its 510(k) clearance process, and such proposals could include increased requirements for clinical data
and a longer review period, or could make it more difficult for manufacturers to utilize the 510(k) clearance process for their products.
We cannot predict what impact ongoing uncertainty regarding federal and state health reform proposals, including the implementation or repeal of the ACA,
judicial review and interpretation of the ACA and other healthcare laws, instability of the insurance markets, changes in the U.S. administration and policy, an
expansion in government’s role in and/or additional proposals and/or changes to the U.S. health care system or its legislation will have on our customer’s
purchasing decisions and/or reimbursement which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We expect that additional state and federal health care
reform measures will be adopted in the future, including those initiatives affecting coverage and reimbursement for our products, any of which could limit the
amounts that federal and state governments will pay for health care products and services, which could adversely affect the growth of the market for our
products or demand for our products, or result in additional pricing pressures. We cannot predict the ultimate content, timing or effect of any healthcare
reform legislation or the impact of potential legislation on us. We continue to monitor the implementation of such legislation and, to the extent new market or
industry trends or new governmental programs evolve, we will consider implementing or implement programs in response.
We are subject to stringent domestic and foreign medical device regulations and oversight and any adverse action may adversely affect our ability to
compete in the marketplace and our financial condition and business operations.
Our products, development activities and manufacturing processes are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by numerous government agencies,
including the FDA and comparable foreign agencies, as discussed in “Part 1, Item 1. Business –
23
Government Regulation.” To varying degrees, each of these agencies monitors and enforces our compliance with laws and regulations governing the
development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, marketing and distribution of our medical devices. We are also subject to regulations that may apply to certain
of our products that are Drug/Device Combination products or are considered to be subject to pharmaceutical regulations outside the U.S. The process of
obtaining marketing approval or clearance from the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory agencies for new products, or for enhancements or modifications
to existing products could be costly, time consuming and burdensome, lead to failed clinical trials or weakened clinical evidence, involve modifications,
repairs or replacements of our products and result in limitations on the indicated use of our products, which may negatively impact our ability to market our
products and services, result in delays or prevent full commercial realization of future products or service. Furthermore, failure to obtain timely approvals or
renewals may result in significant penalties and fines. Additional regulations govern the approval, initiation, conduct, monitoring, documentation and
reporting of clinical studies to regulatory agencies in the countries or regions in which they are conducted. Failure to comply, could subject us to significant
enforcement actions and sanctions, including halting the study, rejection of data generated in the study, seizure of investigational devices or data, sanctions
against investigators, civil or criminal penalties, and other actions. In addition, without the data from one or more clinical studies, it may not be possible for us
to secure the data necessary to support certain regulatory submissions, to secure reimbursement or demonstrate other requirements. We cannot assure that
access to clinical investigators, sites and subjects, documentation and data will be available on the terms and timeframes necessary.
We are subject to extensive complex regulatory requirements by domestic and foreign government agencies and any failure to comply with our ongoing
responsibilities under their applicable laws and regulations could result in a material adverse impact on our business. Failure to comply with applicable
regulations could result in future product recalls, injunctions preventing the shipment of products or other enforcement actions that could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
We also are subject to the European Medical Device Regulation, which was adopted by the European Union (“EU”) as a common legal framework for all EU
member states. The implementation for Class I products occurred on May 26, 2021 and the EUDAMED Database was implemented on May 26, 2022. Under
this regulation, companies that wish to manufacture and distribute medical devices in EU member states must meet certain quality system, and safety
requirements as well as ongoing product monitoring responsibilities. Companies must also obtain a “CE” marking (i.e., a mandatory conformity marking for
certain products sold within the European Economic Area) for their products. Complying with the requirements of these regulations may require us to incur
significant expenditures. Expenditures for European Union Medical Device Regulation compliance activities amounted to $45.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022 and we anticipate incurring additional expenditures in connection with our on-going efforts to obtain certification for our products under
the European Medical Device Regulation. Various penalties exist for non-compliance with the laws implementing the European Medical Device Regulations
which if incurred, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows.
Further, the regulatory environment in China continues to evolve, and officials in the Chinese government exercise broad discretion in deciding how to
interpret and apply regulations. It is possible that the Chinese government's current or future interpretation and application of existing or new regulations will
negatively impact our China operations, result in regulatory investigations or lead to fines or penalties.
In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations that govern the means by which companies in the healthcare industry may market their products to
healthcare professionals and may compete by discounting the prices of their products, including for example, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal
False Claims Act, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, state law equivalents to these federal laws that are meant to protect
against fraud and abuse and analogous laws in foreign countries. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal and civil sanctions, including, but not
limited to, in some instances civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, including
Medicare and Medicaid. Although we exercise care in structuring our sales and marketing practices and customer discount arrangements to comply with those
laws and regulations, we cannot assure that:
•
•
government officials charged with responsibility for enforcing those laws will not assert that our sales and marketing practices or customer discount
arrangements are in violation of those laws or regulations; or
government regulators or courts will interpret those laws or regulations in a manner consistent with our interpretation.
We have in place policies and procedures for compliance that we believe are at least as stringent as those set forth in the AdvaMed Code of Ethics which was
developed by AdvaMed, a trade association that represents the medical device industry, and which is intended to represent best practices with respect to
medical device companies' interactions with healthcare providers. We regularly train our sales and marketing personnel on our policies regarding sales and
marketing practices. Pursuant to the AdvaMed Code, we have certified our adoption of the AdvaMed Code. The sales and marketing practices of our industry
have been the subject of increased scrutiny from federal and state government agencies, and we believe that this trend will continue. Various hospital
organizations, medical societies and trade associations are establishing their own practices that may require detailed disclosures of relationships between
healthcare professionals and medical device companies or ban or restrict certain marketing and sales practices such as gifts and business meals. Since these
laws, regulations and ultimate enforcement continue to evolve, we cannot predict with certainty, what, if any, impact, changes to them may have on our
business or our customers.
24
Outside of the U.S. we are subject to privacy and data security regulations at the international, national and regional level, as well as on an industry specific
basis. For example, in Europe, we are subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") which is related to the collection, processing, storage,
transfer and use of personal data. In the U.S., we are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and other similar laws in the United
States, at both the federal and state level. Noncompliance with GDPR could trigger fines of up to 4% of global annual revenues. In addition, we are subject to
the new China Personal Information Protection Law that went into effect November 1, 2021 which focuses on protecting personal information and cross
border transfers of the information. Compliance with these requirements, either individually or in the aggregate, may require changes in business practices
added complexity and additional management oversight. They also may complicate our clinical research activities, as well as product offerings that involve
transmission or use of clinical data. Non-compliance may result in proceedings against us by governmental or other entities and/or significant fines which
could negatively impact our reputation and adversely affect our business.
Should we delay or fail to comply with one or more of the regulatory requirements we could have reduced sales, increased costs, delays to new product
introductions, enhancements or our strategic plans, or harm to our reputation or competitiveness, which could have a material adverse effect on our business
and financial results.
Our medical device products are subject to reporting requirements and recalls, even after receiving regulatory clearance, approval or certification, which could
harm our reputation, business and financial results.
After a device is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements apply, which require manufacturers to follow, among other things, design, testing,
production, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during the manufacturing process; labeling regulations, which prohibit the
promotion of products for unapproved or “off-label” uses and impose other restrictions on labeling; and medical device reporting regulations that require us to
report to FDA or similar governmental bodies in other countries if our products may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunction in
a way that would be reasonably likely to contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. The FDA and similar governmental bodies in
other countries have the authority to require the recall of our products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture or in the event
that a product poses an unacceptable risk to health. We may, under own initiative, recall a product if a reasonable possibility of serious injury or any material
deficiency in a device is found, or withdraw a product to improve device performance or for other reasons.
Recalls of any of our products may divert managerial and financial resources and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
A recall could harm our reputation with customers and consumers which could reduce the sales of our products. In addition, the FDA or other foreign
governmental agencies may implement enforcement actions in connection with a recall which could impair our product offerings and be harmful to our
business and financial results.
Certain of our products contain materials derived from animal sources and may become subject to additional regulation.
Certain of our products are derived from bovine or porcine tissue sources. As a result, we may experience difficulties in processing and producing our bovine
and porcine tissue products at scale, including problems related to yields, quality control and assurance, tissue availability, adequacy of control policies and
procedures and availability of skilled personnel.
With respect to bovine, among other products, our dermal regeneration products, duraplasty products, wound care products, bone void fillers, nerve and
tendon repair products and certain other products, contain material derived from bovine tissue. In 2022, 43.3% of our revenues derived from products
containing material derived from bovine tissue. Products that contain materials derived from animal sources, including food, pharmaceuticals and medical
devices, are subject to scrutiny in the media and by regulatory authorities. Regulatory authorities are concerned about the potential for the transmission of
disease from animals to humans via those materials. This public scrutiny has been particularly acute in Japan and Western Europe with respect to products
derived from animal sources, because of concern that materials infected with the agent that causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy, otherwise known as
BSE or mad cow disease, may, if ingested or implanted, cause a variant of the human Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, an ultimately fatal disease with no known
cure. The World Organization for Animal Health recognizes the U.S. as having a negligible risk for BSE, which is the highest status available.
We take care to provide that our products are safe and free of agents that can cause disease. In particular, we qualified a source of collagen from a country
outside the U.S. that is considered BSE/TSE-free. The World Health Organization classifies different types of bovine tissue for relative risk of BSE
transmission. Deep flexor tendon and bovine fetal skin, which are used in our products, are in the lowest-risk categories for BSE transmission and are
therefore considered to have a negligible risk of containing the agent that causes BSE (an improperly folded protein known as a prion). Nevertheless, products
that contain materials derived from animals, including our products, could become subject to additional regulation, or even be banned in certain countries,
because of concern over the potential for the transmission of prions. Significant new regulations, or a ban of our products, could have a material, adverse
effect on our current business or our ability to expand our business.
Certain countries, such as Japan, China, Taiwan and Argentina, have issued regulations that require our collagen products be sourced from countries where no
cases of BSE have occurred, and the EU has requested that our dural replacement products and other products that are used in neurological tissue be sourced
from a country where no cases of BSE have occurred. Currently, we source bovine fetal hides from the U.S. and purchase tendon from the U.S. and New
Zealand. New Zealand has
25
never had a case of BSE. We received approval in the U.S., the EU, Japan, Taiwan, China, Argentina as well as other countries for the use of New Zealand-
sourced tendon in the manufacturing of our products. If we cannot continue to use or qualify a source of tendon from New Zealand or another country that has
never had a case of BSE, we could be prohibited from selling our collagen products in certain countries.
We are subject to current and potential future requirements relating to protection of the environment, such as hazardous materials regulations, which
may impose significant compliance or other costs on us.
Certain of our processes in manufacturing and research and development involve the controlled use of certain hazardous materials. In addition, we own and/or
lease a number of facilities at which hazardous materials have been used in the past. Finally, we have acquired various companies that historically have used
certain hazardous materials and that have owned and/or leased facilities at which hazardous materials have been used. For all of these reasons, we are subject
to federal, state, foreign, and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, transportation, handling, treatment, remediation, and disposal
of hazardous materials and certain waste products (“Environmental, Health, Safety and Transportation Laws”). Although we believe that our procedures for
handling, transporting, and disposing of hazardous materials comply with the Environmental, Health, Safety and Transportation Laws, such laws may be
amended in ways that increase our cost of compliance, perhaps materially.
Furthermore, the potential risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be eliminated, and there is also a risk that such
contamination previously has occurred in connection with one of our facilities or in connection with one of the companies we have purchased. In the event of
such an accident or contamination, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any related liability could exceed the limits or fall outside the
coverage of our insurance and could exceed our resources. We may not be able to maintain insurance on acceptable terms or at all.
Our business and operations are subject to risks related to climate change.
The long-term effects of global climate change present both physical risks (from the increased frequency of extreme weather conditions or natural disasters)
and transition risks (from regulatory requirements or technology changes). Such extreme weather conditions could pose physical risks to our facilities and
disrupt operation of our supply chain and may impact operational costs. Concern over global climate change could result in new legal or regulatory
requirements designed to mitigate the effects of climate change on the environment. If such laws or regulations are more stringent than current legal or
regulatory requirements, we may experience increased compliance burdens and costs to meet the regulatory obligations and such measures may interrupt our
operations or the operations of our suppliers, potentially leading to higher costs, and therefore negatively impact our results of operations.
We are subject to requirements relating to information technology which could adversely affect our business.
If we are unable to maintain reliable information technology systems and prevent disruptions, outages, or data breaches, we may suffer regulatory
consequences in addition to business consequences. Our worldwide operations means that we are subject to laws and regulations, including data protection
and cyber security laws and regulations, in many jurisdictions. The variety of U.S. and international privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations impacting
our operations are described in “Item 1. Business - Government Regulation - Other Factors - Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Laws and Regulations." We
have programs to ensure compliance with such laws and regulations. However, there is no guarantee that we will avoid enforcement actions by governmental
bodies. Enforcement actions may be costly and interrupt regular operations of our business. In addition, there has been a developing trend of civil lawsuits and
class actions relating to breaches of consumer data held by large companies or incidents arising from other cyber-attacks. While Integra has not been named in
any such suits, if a substantial breach or loss of data were to occur, we could become a target of such litigation.
If we do not retain our key personnel and attract and retain other highly skilled employees, our business could suffer.
If we fail to recruit, develop and retain the necessary personnel, our business and our ability to obtain new customers, develop new products and provide
acceptable levels of customer service could suffer. The success of our business is heavily dependent on the leadership of our key management personnel. Our
success also depends on our ability to recruit, develop and retain and motivate highly skilled sales, marketing, manufacturing and scientific personnel.
Competition for these persons in our industry is intense, and we may not be able to successfully recruit, train or retain qualified personnel. We are
experiencing increasing challenges in building and retaining our workforce in certain markets, where pressure from inflation and competition have
exacerbated turnover and retention trends continuing from the COVID-19 pandemic. Labor shortages and competition for qualified personnel could cause
disruptions in our business operations.
RISKS RELATED TO TAX AND DEBT
We may have additional tax liabilities.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions and are commonly audited by various tax authorities. In the ordinary course of our
business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Significant judgment is required in determining our
worldwide provision for income taxes. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related
litigation could be materially different
26
from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material, adverse effect on our financial statements in
the period or periods for which that determination is made.
Changes in tax laws or exposures to additional tax liabilities could negatively impact the Company's operating results.
We are subject to income taxes, as well as taxes that are not income-based, in both the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions. Taxes could significantly increase
due to changes in tax laws or changes in our interpretation of those laws. For example, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, a global policy
forum, is developing a global tax framework that, if implemented, includes a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Taxes could also significantly increase due to changes
in accounting guidance. Our future effective tax rate could be unfavorably affected by numerous factors including a change in, or the interpretation of, tax rules
and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate (including changes in legislation currently being considered), a change in our geographic earnings
mix, and/or to the jurisdictions in which we operate, or a change in the measurement of our deferred taxes.
Our leverage and debt service obligations could adversely affect our business.
Our leverage and debt service obligations could adversely affect our business. As of December 31, 2022, our total consolidated external debt was
approximately $1.5 billion (See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 5, Debt, to the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for a discussion of our consolidated external debt). We
may also incur additional indebtedness in the future. Our substantial indebtedness could have material, adverse consequences, including:
• making it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations;
•
increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, regulatory and industry conditions, and placing us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors
that are less leveraged;
limiting our ability to compete and our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and
limiting our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes.
•
•
Our debt service obligations will require us to use a portion of our operating cash flow to pay interest and principal on indebtedness instead of for other
corporate purposes, including funding future expansion of our business, acquisitions, and ongoing capital expenditures, which could impede our growth. In
addition, our ability to comply with, renegotiate or extend the Company’s debt obligations will depend on our operating and financial performance, which in
turn is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors beyond our control. Any disruptions in our operations, the financial
markets, or the overall economy, including as a result of COVID-19, may adversely affect the availability and cost of credit to us and/or our ability to comply
with our existing obligations.
Changes in the calculation and or complete replacement of LIBOR could have an impact on our business.
The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced in July 2017 that it will no longer persuade or require
banks to submit rates for LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, which administers LIBOR, and the FCA announced that all LIBOR
settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator, or no longer be representative immediately after December 31, 2021, for all non-U.S. dollar
LIBOR settings and one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings, and immediately after June 30, 2023 for the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings.
We have multiple debt facilities which utilizes a variable rate equal to Eurodollar LIBOR rate as a component of our interest rate.
Management expects all LIBOR-based contracts to be replaced by the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is calculated based on overnight
transactions under repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of private-market participants
convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the New York Federal Reserve, has recommended the use of SOFR as a more robust reference rate
alternative to LIBOR. The use of SOFR as a substitute for LIBOR is, however, voluntary and may not be suitable for all market participants. There can be no
assurance that the replacement rate will be economically equivalent to LIBOR, which could result in higher interest rates for us under our debt facilities.
There is no guarantee that a transition from LIBOR to SOFR will not result in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark rates, or our
borrowing costs, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our intellectual property rights may not provide meaningful commercial protection for our products, potentially enabling third parties to use our
technology or very similar technology and could reduce our ability to compete in the market.
To compete effectively, we depend, in part, on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies and manufacturing processes, which includes
the ability to obtain, protect and enforce patents on our technology and to protect our
27
trade secrets. We own or have licensed patents that cover aspects of some of our product lines. Our patents, however, may not provide us with any significant
competitive advantage. Others may challenge our patents and, as a result, our patents could be narrowed, invalidated or rendered unenforceable. Competitors
may develop products similar to ours that our patents do not cover. In addition, the approval or rejection of patent applications may take several years and our
current and future patent applications may not result in the issuance of patents in the U.S. or foreign countries.
Our competitive position depends, in part, upon unpatented trade secrets, which we may be unable to protect.
Our competitive position also depends upon unpatented trade secrets, which are difficult to protect. We cannot assure that others will not independently
develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, that our trade secrets will not be
disclosed or that we can effectively protect our rights to unpatented trade secrets.
In an effort to protect our trade secrets, we require our employees, consultants and advisors to execute confidentiality and invention assignment agreements
upon commencement of employment or consulting relationships with us. These agreements provide that, except in specified circumstances, all confidential
information developed or made known to the individual during the course of their relationships with us must be kept confidential. We cannot assure, however,
that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of the unauthorized use or
disclosure of confidential information.
Our success will depend partly on our ability to operate without infringing or misappropriating the proprietary rights of others.
We may be sued for infringing the intellectual property rights of others. In addition, we may find it necessary, if threatened, to initiate a lawsuit seeking a
declaration from a court that we do not infringe the proprietary rights of others or that their rights are invalid or unenforceable. If we do not prevail in any
litigation, in addition to any damages we might have to pay, we would be required to stop the infringing activity (which could include a cessation of selling
the products in question) or obtain a license for the proprietary rights involved. Any required license may be unavailable to us on acceptable terms, if at all. In
addition, some licenses may be nonexclusive and allow our competitors to access the same technology we license.
If we fail to obtain a required license or are unable to design our products so as not to infringe on the proprietary rights of others, we may be unable to sell
some of our products, and this potential inability could have a material, adverse effect on our revenues and profitability.
We may be involved in lawsuits relating to our intellectual property rights and promotional practices, which may be expensive.
To protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, we may have to initiate or defend legal proceedings, such as infringement suits or opposition
proceedings, against or by third parties. In addition, we may have to institute proceedings regarding our competitors’ promotional practices or defend
proceedings regarding our promotional practices. Legal proceedings are costly, and, even if we prevail, the cost of the legal proceedings could affect our
profitability. In addition, litigation is time-consuming and could divert management's attention and resources away from our business. Moreover, in response
to our claims against other parties, those parties could assert counterclaims against us.
RISKS RELATED TO GLOBAL OPERATIONS
If any of our facilities or those of our suppliers were damaged and/or our manufacturing or business processes interrupted, we could experience lost
revenues and our business could be seriously harmed.
Damage to our manufacturing, distribution, development and/or research facilities because of fire, extreme weather conditions, natural disaster, power loss,
communications failure, geopolitical disruption, unauthorized entry or other events, such as a flu or other health epidemic, such as COVID-19, could
significantly disrupt our operations, the operations of suppliers and critical infrastructure and delay or prevent product manufacture and shipment during the
time required to repair, rebuild or replace the damaged facilities. Certain of our manufacturing facilities are located in Puerto Rico, which in the past has
experienced both severe hurricanes and other natural disasters. Climate change may increase both the frequency and severity of extreme weather conditions
and natural disasters and, consequently, risks to our operations and growth. Although we maintain property damage and business interruption insurance
coverage on these facilities, our insurance might not cover all losses under such circumstances, and we may not be able to renew or obtain such insurance in
the future on acceptable terms with adequate coverage or at reasonable costs.
We are exposed to a variety of risks relating to our international sales and operations.
We generate significant revenues outside the U.S. in multiple foreign currencies, and in U.S. dollar-denominated transactions conducted with customers who
generate revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For those foreign customers who purchase our products in U.S. dollars, currency fluctuations
between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which those
28
customers do business may have a negative impact on the demand for our products in foreign countries where the U.S. dollar has increased in value compared
to the local currency.
Since we have operations based outside the U.S. and we generate revenues and incur operating expenses in multiple foreign currencies, we experience
currency exchange risk with respect to those foreign currency-denominated revenues and expenses. Our most significant currency exchange risk relates to
transactions conducted in Australian dollars, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Chinese yuan, Euros, Japanese yen, and Swiss francs.
We cannot predict the consolidated effects of exchange rate fluctuations upon our future operating results because of the number of currencies involved, the
variability of currency exposure and the potential volatility of currency exchange rates. Although we address currency risk management through regular
operating and financing activities, and, on a limited basis, through the use of derivative financial instruments, those actions may not prove to be fully
effective. For a description of our use of derivative financial instruments, see Note 6, Derivative Instruments to the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Our international operations subject us to laws regarding sanctioned countries, entities and persons, customs, import-export, laws regarding transactions in
foreign countries, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local anti-bribery and other laws regarding interactions with healthcare professionals, and
product registration requirements. Among other things, these laws restrict, and in some cases prevent, U.S. companies from directly or indirectly selling
goods, technology or services to people or entities in certain countries. In addition, these laws require that we exercise care in structuring our sales and
marketing practices and effecting product registrations in foreign countries.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict and resulting sanctions and export restrictions are creating barriers to doing business in Russia and adversely impacting global
supply chains. While we have no manufacturing, distribution or direct material suppliers in the region, we are closely monitoring the potential raw material or
supplier impact in both Russia and Ukraine. Materials like palladium and neon, which are both dependent on Russia supply, are part of broader semiconductor
shortages in industry. Additional sanctions, export restrictions, and potential countermeasures within Russia may lead to greater uncertainty and geopolitical
shifts in Asia that could cause additional adverse impacts on global supply chains and our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The United Kingdom’s (“UK”) exit from the European Union on January 31, 2020, commonly referred to as Brexit, has caused, and may continue to cause
uncertainty in the global political markets. It is possible that Brexit could, among other things, affect the legal and regulatory environments, including the
regulatory landscape concerning medical devices, to which our business is subject, impose greater restrictions on imports and exports between the UK and the
EU and other parties, increase currency volatility and create economic and political uncertainty in the region.
As we seek to continue to expand and strengthen our international operations, we may experience difficulty in growing our sales in certain new markets and
other international markets in which we are attempting to increase our presence due to, among other things, customer acceptance, undeveloped and/or
unfamiliar distribution channels, regulatory restrictions and changes, and business knowledge of these markets.
From time to time, proposals are made to significantly change existing trade agreements and relationships between the U.S. and other countries. In recent
years, the U.S. government has implemented substantial changes to U.S. trade policies, including import restrictions, increased import tariffs and changes in
U.S. participation in multilateral trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement to replace the former North American Free Trade
Agreement. The ongoing global economic competition and trade tensions between the U.S. and China has resulted in the U.S. government assessing
supplemental tariffs on certain goods imported from China and China’s assessment of retaliatory tariffs on certain imports of U.S. goods into China. In
addition, the United States has assessed or proposed supplemental tariffs and quantitative restrictions on U.S. imports of certain products from other countries
as well. Owing to the complex relationships between the U.S. and such other countries, political, diplomatic, military, or other events could result in business
disruptions, including increased regulatory enforcement against companies, tariffs, trade embargoes, export restrictions and the termination or modification of
existing trade agreements. The imposition of such restrictions could increase the cost of the Company’s products and the components and raw materials that
go into making them, require the Company to change its operations and the products it offers and negatively impact consumer confidence and spending, all of
which, both individually and in the aggregate, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
GENERAL RISK FACTORS
Cyber-attacks or other disruptions to our information technology systems could adversely affect our business.
We are increasingly dependent on sophisticated information technology for our infrastructure and to support business decisions. Our information systems
require an ongoing commitment of significant resources to maintain, protect, and enhance existing systems and develop new systems to keep pace with
continuing changes in information processing technology, evolving systems and regulatory standards, the increasing need to protect patient and customer
information, and changing customer
29
patterns. An experienced third party maintains the enterprise business system used to support our transaction processing, accounting and financial reporting,
and supply chain and manufacturing processes. Any significant breakdown, intrusion, interruption, corruption, or destruction of these systems, as well as any
data breaches, could have a material, adverse effect on our business.
Third parties may attempt to breach our systems and may obtain data relating to patients, proprietary or sensitive information. As a result of the COVID-19
pandemic, we may face increased cybersecurity risks due to our reliance on internet technology and the number of our employees who are working remotely,
which may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. If we, or third parties on whom we rely, fail to maintain or protect our
information systems and data integrity effectively, we could lose existing customers, have difficulty attracting new customers, suffer backlash from negative
public relations, have regulatory sanctions or penalties imposed, have increases in operating expenses, incur expenses or lose revenues as a result of a data
privacy breach, or suffer other adverse consequences.
We have programs, processes (including ongoing improvements) and technologies in place to prevent, detect, contain, respond to and mitigate security related
threats and potential incidents. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or interrupt services change frequently and can be difficult to
detect, anticipating, identifying or preventing these threats or mitigating them if and when they occur, may be challenging. We are also dependent on third
party vendors to supply and/or support certain aspects of our information technology systems which may contain defects in design or manufacture or other
problems that could result in system disruption or unexpectedly compromise the information security of our own systems. In addition, as we grow in part
through new acquisitions we may face risks due to implementation, modification, or remediation of controls, procedures, and policies relating to data privacy
and cybersecurity at the acquired business. We continue to consolidate and integrate the number of systems we operate, and to upgrade and expand our
information system capabilities for stable and secure business operations. Despite our implementation of controls to protect our systems and sensitive,
confidential or personal data or information, we may be vulnerable to material security breaches, theft, misplaced, lost or corrupted data, employee errors
and/or malfeasance (including misappropriation by departing employees) that could potentially lead to the compromising of sensitive, confidential or personal
data or information, improper use of our systems, software solutions or networks, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification or destruction of
information, defective products, production downtimes and operational disruptions. In addition, a cyber-related attack could result in other negative
consequences, including damage to our reputation or competitiveness, remediation or increased protection costs, litigation or regulatory action.
Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues, including those related to climate change and sustainability, may have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations and damage our reputation.
There is an increasing focus from certain investors, customers, consumers, employees and other stakeholders concerning ESG matters. Additionally, public
interest and legislative pressure related to public companies’ ESG practices continue to grow. Consistent with these developments, we published our inaugural
ESG Report which includes performance highlights in key areas such as employee health and safety, diversity and inclusion, community impact, ethics and
compliance, and environmental responsibility. In addition, we formally expanded Board oversight to include ESG strategy and reporting. If, however, our
ESG practices fail to meet regulatory requirements or investor, customer, consumer, employee or other stakeholders' evolving expectations and standards for
responsible corporate citizenship in areas including environmental stewardship, support for local communities, Board of Director and employee diversity,
human capital management, employee health and safety practices, product quality, supply chain management, corporate governance and transparency, our
reputation, brand and employee retention may be negatively impacted, and our customers and suppliers may be unwilling to continue to do business with us.
If we do not adapt to or comply with new regulations, or fail to meet evolving investor, industry or stakeholder expectations and concerns regarding ESG
issues, investors may reconsider their capital investment in our Company, and customers may choose to stop purchasing our products, which could have a
material adverse effect on our reputation, business or financial condition.

GENERAL
Integra LifeSciences is a global leader in regenerative tissue technologies and neurological solutions dedicated to limiting uncertainty for clinicians so they
can focus on providing the best patient care. Founded in 1989 with the acquisition of an engineered collagen technology platform used to repair and
regenerate tissue, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol
“IART.” Integra has developed numerous product lines from this technology for applications ranging from burn and deep tissue wounds to the repair of dura
mater in the brain, as well as nerves and tendons. The Company has expanded its base regenerative technology business to include surgical instruments,
neurosurgical products and advanced wound care through global acquisitions and product development to meet the evolving needs of its customers and
enhance patient care.
Integra manufactures and sells medical technologies and products in two reportable business segments: Codman Specialty Surgical ("CSS") and Tissue
Technologies ("TT"). The CSS segment, which represents approximately two-thirds of our total revenue, consists of market-leading technologies and
instrumentation used for a wide range of specialties, such as neurosurgery, neurocritical care and otolaryngology. We are the world leader in neurosurgery and
one of the top three providers in instruments used in precision, specialty, and general surgical procedures. Our TT segment generates about one-third of our
overall revenue and focuses on three main areas: complex wound surgery, surgical reconstruction, and peripheral nerve repair.
We have key manufacturing and research facilities located in California, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Utah,
France, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland. We source most of our handheld surgical instruments and dural sealant products through specialized third-party
vendors.
Integra is committed to delivering high quality products that positively impact the lives of millions of patients and their families. We focus on four key pillars
of our strategy: 1) enabling an execution-focused culture, 2) optimizing relevant scale, 3) advancing innovation and agility, and 4) leading in customer
experience. We believe that by sharpening our focus on these areas through improved planning and communication, optimization of our infrastructure, and
strategically aligned acquisitions, we can build scale, increase competitiveness and achieve our long-term goals.
To this end, the executive leadership team has established the following key priorities aligned to the following areas of focus:
Strategic Acquisitions. An important part of the Company's strategy is pursuing strategic transactions and licensing agreements that increase relevant scale in
the clinical areas in which Integra competes. Our growth strategy includes the acquisition of businesses, assets or products lines to increase the breadth of our
offerings, the reach of our product portfolios and drive relevant scale to our customers. On December 6, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of SIA,
which develops, markets and sells DuraSorb, a resorbable synthetic matrix for plastic and reconstructive surgery. This acquisition will advance Integra’s
global strategy in breast reconstruction, expanding plans to access the U.S. market where SIA is pursuing pre-market approval for use in IBBR. We also
continued to advance the development of pioneering neurosurgical technologies with the expansion our product offering of regenerative technologies from our
2021 ACell acquisition. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K) for additional details.
33
Portfolio Optimization and New Product Introductions. We are investing in innovative product development to drive a multi-generational pipeline for our key
product franchises. Our product development efforts span across our key global franchises focused on potential technological innovations for significant
returns on investment. In addition to new product development, we are funding studies to gather clinical evidence to support launches, ensure market access
and improve reimbursement for existing products. In addition to acquisitions and organic reinvestment, we continually look to optimize our portfolio towards
higher growth and higher margin businesses. As such, we may opportunistically divest businesses or discontinue products where we see limited runway for
future value creation in line with our aspirations due in part to changes in the market, business fundamentals or the regulatory environment.
Commercial Channel Investments. Investing in our sales channels is a core part of our strategy to create specialization and greater focus on reaching new and
existing customers and addressing their needs. To support our commercial efforts in Tissue Technologies, we utilize a two-tier specialist model to increase our
presence in focused segments to help serve the evolving needs of our customers. In addition, we continue to build upon our leadership brands across our
product franchises in both CSS and TT to engage customers through enterprise-wide contracts with leading hospitals, integrated delivery networks and global
purchasing organizations in the United States. Internationally, we have increased our commercial resources significantly in key emerging markets and are
making investments to support our sales organization and maximize our commercial opportunities. Domestically, we have also increased our TT sales force in
the United States to support the expanded regenerative tissue product portfolio that includes ACell products. These investments in our international and
domestic sales channel position us well for expansion and long-term growth.
Customer Experience. We aspire to be ranked as a best-in-class provider and are committed to strengthening our relationships with all customers. We continue
to invest in technologies, systems and processes to enhance the customer experience. In 2022, we outsourced certain transactional back-office finance and
customer service activities to enhance customer quality, build scale for future growth, and capture cost efficiencies. We also launched digital tools and
programs, resources and virtual product training to drive continued customer familiarity with our growing portfolio of medical technologies globally. .
New Product Introductions and Research and Development Updates
We continue to invest in collecting clinical evidence to support the Company's existing products and new product launches, and to ensure that we obtain
market access for broader and more cost-effective solutions.
In 2022, we made progress to several enhancements to our CUSA Clarity Tissue Ablation System. The extended laparoscopic tip was launched in the U.S. to
enhance laparoscopic liver procedures. In addition, a single-sided bone tip received 510(k) clearance. Commercial launch is expected in the first quarter of
2023. We continue to update our CUSA Clarity platform by incorporating new ultrasonic handpiece and integrated electrosurgical capabilities.
In each area, we continue to benefit from products launched over the past several years, including our new electrosurgery generator and irrigator system, an
innovative customer-centric toolkit for our Certas Plus Programmable Valve along with additional shunt configurations. In Japan, we are experiencing strong
growth as a result of the successful launch of DuraGen in mid-2019, which is the first and only collagen xenograft approved for use as a dural substitute in the
country.
®
In 2022, we continued to advance the two early-stage technology platforms we acquired in 2019. Through the acquisition of Arkiss, we added a platform
technology, CerebroFlo EVD, which is a catheter with Endexo technology, a permanent additive designed to reduce the potential for catheter obstruction due
to thrombus formation. The CerebroFlo EVD Catheter has demonstrated an average of 99% less thrombus accumulation onto its surface, in vitro, compared to
a market leading EVD catheter. In 2019, we also acquired Rebound Therapeutics which specialized in a single-use medical device, known as Aurora
Surgiscope, which is the only tubular retractor system designed for cranial surgery with an integrated access channel, camera and lighting. In 2021, we began
and continued to conduct a limited clinical launch of the Aurora Surgiscope for use in minimally invasive neurosurgery as well as initiated a registry called
MIRROR to collect data on early surgical intervention using this same technology platform for the treatment of ICH. In 2022, we have continued to execute
on our growth initiatives. We launched the Aurora Evacuator with Coagulation device in the U.S., designed to be used in conjunction with our Aurora
Surgiscope to safely address and evacuate blood in the brain caused by hemorrhagic stroke.
We are focused on the development of core clinical applications in our electromechanical technologies portfolio. In June 2022, we launched the Neutus EVD
system, our first EVD in China. The Neutus EVD system is manufactured in China by Shanghai Haoju Medical Technology Co., Ltd. under an exclusive
distribution arrangement. The device is used in the management of CSF and is highly complementary to our Bactiseal catheter and advanced intercranial
pressure monitoring products. In 2021, we launched our CereLink ICP Monitor System in the U.S. and Europe direct markets and continued the global rollout
in the first half of 2022. CereLink provides enhanced accuracy, usability and advanced data presentation that provides clinicians with uncompromised,
advanced continuous ICP monitoring that until now, has not been available when treating patients with traumatic brain injuries. Refer below to the
information appearing under the FDA Matters heading for additional information on the voluntary recall of the CereLink ICP Monitor System.

34
Within our TT segment, in 2022, we launched NeuraGen 3D Nerve Guide Matrix, a resorbable implant for repair of peripheral nerve discontinuities and
engineered to create an optimized environment for nerve regeneration. During 2021, we completed one of the largest diabetic foot ulcers ("DFU"),
randomized controlled trials of the PriMatrix Dermal Repair Scaffold for the management of DFU. This multi-center study enrolled more than 225 patients
with chronic DFU's over the course of 12-week treatments and 4-week follow-up phases. The results of this study, which was published in the Journal of
Wound Care, demonstrated that PriMatrix plus standard of care SOC consisting of sharp debridement, infection elimination, use of dressings and offloading
was significantly more likely to achieve complete wound closure compared with SOC alone, with a median number of one application of the product. During
2020, we announced positive clinical and economic data on Integra Bilayer Wound Matrix ("IBWM") in complex lower extremity reconstruction based on
two retrospective studies recently published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. As
surgeons look for ways to efficiently and effectively repair and close wounds, IBWM helps address the efficiency needed in operating rooms by reducing both
the operating time and costs to hospitals and patients.
®
FDA Matters
On August 18, 2022, the Company, after consultation with the FDA and other regulatory authorities outside of the United States, initiated an immediate
voluntary global product removal of all CereLink intracranial pressure monitors as a result of customer reports about monitors whose pressure readings were
out of range. The Company believes that the out-of-range readings are principally caused by electrical interference from the external environment and/or
interference from a component on the circuit board of the monitor. These out-of-range readings have occurred at a low incidence rate and at a limited number
of sites; however, out of an abundance of caution, the Company removed all CereLink monitors from the field.
The Company Is continuing its investigation into the matter in order to remedy the observed issue and plans to resume shipment of the CereLink monitors as
soon as any such issues have been resolved. Based on outlook for returning the product to market and feedback from customers, the Company recorded a $1.9
million provision for product returns, as a reduction of net revenue, and a $0.8 million rework accrual in cost of goods sold in 2022.
We manufacture and distribute products derived from human tissue for which FDA has specific regulations governing human cells, tissues and cellular and
tissue-based products ("HCT/P"). An HCT/P is a product containing or consisting of human cells or tissue intended for transplantation into a human patient.
Refer to Item 1. Business and Item 1A. Risk Factors for further details around these FDA regulations and their potential effect on the Company's portfolio of
morselized amniotic material-based products as well as the impact on consolidated revenues.
On March 7, 2019, TEI Biosciences, Inc. ("TEI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company received a Warning Letter (the “Warning Letter”), dated March
6, 2019, from the FDA. The warning letter related to quality systems issues at TEI's manufacturing facility located in Boston, Massachusetts. The letter
resulted from an inspection held at that facility in October and November 2018 and did not identify any new observations that were not already provided in
the Form 483 that followed the inspection. The Company submitted its initial response to the FDA Warning Letter on March 28, 2019 and provides regular
progress reports to the FDA as to its corrective actions and, since the conclusion of the inspection, has undertaken significant efforts to remediate the
observations and continues to do so. On October 28, 2021 the FDA initiated an inspection of the facility and at the conclusion of the inspection issued a FDA
Form 483 on November 12, 2021 (the "2021 Form 483"). The Company provided an initial response to the inspection observations and will continue to
provide responses to FDA. The Warning Letter and the 2021 FDA Form 483 do not restrict the Company’s ability to manufacture or ship products or require
the recall of any products, nor do they restrict our ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products. Additionally, premarket approval applications for Class
III devices to which the Quality System regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been corrected. The TEI
Boston facility manufactures extracellular bovine matrix products. We cannot give any assurances that the FDA will be satisfied with our response to the
Warning Letter or as to the expected date of the resolution of the matters included in the letter. Until the issues cited in the letter are resolved to the FDA’s
satisfaction, the FDA may initiate additional regulatory action without further notice. Any adverse regulatory action, depending on its magnitude, may restrict
us from effectively manufacturing, marketing and selling our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Revenues of products manufactured in the TEI Boston facility for the year ended December 31, 2022 were approximately 5.3% of consolidated revenues.

ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURES
Acquisitions
Our growth strategy includes the acquisition of businesses, assets or products lines to increase the breadth of our offerings and the reach of our product
portfolios and drive relevant scale to our customers. As a result of several acquisitions from 2021 through 2022, our financial results for the year ended
December 31, 2022 may not be directly comparable to those of the corresponding prior-year periods. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for a further discussion.
Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc.
On December 6, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of SIA for an acquisition purchase price of $51.5 million. In addition to the purchase price, the
acquisition includes two separate contingent considerations payments, which are dependent on 1) achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones in
2023, 2024, and 2025 (up to $50M in additional payments), as well as 2) the approval by the FDA of the PMA application for DuraSorb for certain uses by
certain timing targets (up to $40M in additional payments). SIA was a privately-held company whose core technology, DuraSorb is a fully resorbable scaffold
of a globally accepted polymer, cleared for use in hernia repair, abdominal wall, and other soft tissue reinforcement. DuraSorb sales will be reported within
Integra’s TT segment as part of its Wound Reconstruction and Care franchise. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for details.
ACell Inc.
On January 20, 2021, the Company acquired ACell for an acquisition purchase price of $306.9 million plus contingent consideration obligations of up to $100
million, that may be payable upon achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones in 2022, 2023 and 2025. ACell was a privately-held company that
offered a portfolio of regenerative products for complex wound management, including developing and commercializing products based on MatriStem
Urinary Bladder Matrix, a technology platform derived from porcine urinary bladder extracellular matrix. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for additional details.
Divestiture
On August 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its TWC business to Gentell for $28.8 million, which consists of $27.8 million in cash plus $1.0
million in contingent consideration which may be received upon achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones two years after the closing date.
The proceeds from the sale of the TWC business of $27.8 million is presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows net of cash transferred of $3.5
million and other transaction fees. The transaction included the sale of the Company's TWC products, such as sponges, gauze and conforming bandages, and
certain advanced wound care dressings, such as supportive, calcium alginate, hydrogel, and foam dressings. In connection with the sale, the Company
recognized $0.6 million as a gain from the sale of business in the consolidated statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2022. The transaction is
subject to final working capital adjustments. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of
this Form 10-K) for details.
On January 4, 2021, the Company completed its sale of its Extremity Orthopedics business to Smith & Nephew. The transaction included the sale of the
Company's upper and lower Extremity Orthopedics product portfolio, including ankle and shoulder arthroplasty and hand and wrist product lines. The
Company received an aggregate purchase price of $240.0 million from Smith & Nephew and concurrently paid $41.5 million to the Consortium of Focused
Orthopedists, LLC ("CFO"), effectively terminating the licensing agreement between Integra and CFO relating to the development of shoulder arthroplasty
products. The Company recognized a gain of $41.8 million in connection with the sale that is presented in "Gain from the sale of business" in the consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December, 31, 2021. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for details.
36
OPTIMIZATION AND INTEGRATION ACTIVITIES
As a result of our ongoing acquisition strategy and significant growth in recent years, we have undertaken cost-saving initiatives to consolidate manufacturing
operations, distribution facilities and transfer activities, eliminate duplicative positions, realign various sales and marketing activities, and expand and upgrade
production capacity for our regenerative technology products. These efforts are expected to continue and while we expect a positive impact from ongoing
restructuring, integration, and manufacturing transfer and expansion activities, such results remain uncertain. In support of our continued focus on product
margins during 2022, we closed a manufacturing facility located in France and began the transfer of production to the Company’s existing Switzerland
facility. The transfer completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. In 2022, we outsourced certain transactional back-office finance and customer service activities
to enhance customer quality, build scale for future growth, and capture cost efficiencies. This transition also completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. While
the transition was complete in 2022, we are continuing to work with our outsource provider to transform our processes and gain efficiencies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We typically define special charges as items for which the amounts and/or timing of such expenses may vary significantly from period to period, depending
upon our acquisition, divestiture, integration and restructuring activities, and for which the amounts are non-cash in nature, or for which the amounts are not
expected to recur at the same magnitude. We believe that given our ongoing strategy of seeking acquisitions, our continuing focus on rationalizing our
existing manufacturing and distribution infrastructure and our continuing review of various product lines in relation to our current business strategy, some of
the special charges discussed above could recur with similar materiality in the future.
We believe that the separate identification of these special charges provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business
trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Investors may find this information useful in assessing comparability of our operating
performance from period to period, against the business model objectives that management has established, and against other companies in our industry. We
provide this information to investors so that they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and to use this information in their
assessment of our core business and valuation of Integra.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, total revenues increased by $15.2 million, or 1.0%, to $1,557.7 million from $1,542.4 million during the prior year.
This increase is inclusive of an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $37.9 million, as well as a $10.2 million decrease that impacts both domestic and
international revenues, related to the divestiture of the TWC business. Excluding the impacts of these items, domestic revenues increased by $41.6 million, or
3.8%. International revenues increased by $21.7 million or 4.8%.
In the CSS segment, revenues were $1,019.6 million which was a decrease of $5.7 million, or 0.6% as compared to the prior-year period. This increase is
inclusive of a $34.1 million unfavorable foreign currency impact on revenue. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, the CSS segment revenues increased
$28.4 million as compared to the prior year period. This increase was driven primarily by low single digits growth in both our Neurosurgery and Instruments
portfolios as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in our Neurosurgery portfolio was driven primarily by growth in advanced energy
and CSF management, partially offset by the voluntary recall of the CereLink ICP monitoring system.
In the TT segment, revenues were $538.1 million, which was an increase of $20.9 million, or 4.0% as compared to the prior-year period.. Excluding the
impact of foreign currency of $3.8 million and the divestiture impact of TWC of $10.2 million, the TT segment revenues in the third quarter increased by
$34.9 million. This increase was driven by mid-single digit increases in our Wound Reconstruction business, led by Integra Dermal Matrices, SurgiMend and
ACell MicroMatrix and low double digit increased in our Private Label business driven by higher customer demand and favorable order timing.

Gross Margin
Gross margin was $970.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $25.7 million from $944.6 million for the same period last year. Gross
margin as a percentage of revenues was 62.3% in 2022 and 61.2% in 2021. The increase in gross margin percentage was due to higher revenues and a
reduction of inventory step up amortization in connection with the acquisition of ACell in the prior year. These were partially offset by CereLink recall
impacts, unfavorable regional mix, and higher material and labor costs.

Total operating expenses, which consist of research and development, selling, general and administrative, and intangible asset amortization expenses,
decreased by $16.0 million or 2.1% to $731.4 million in 2022, compared to $747.4 million in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses is due to
lower selling, general and administrative costs and amortization partially offset by higher R&D spending.
38
The Company continues to manage and prioritize its operating costs to increase organic investments that will drive long-term growth including the support of
new product development and introductions, clinical studies, geographic expansion and targeted U.S. sales channel expansion.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $8.1 million as compared to the prior year. This increase in spending
resulted from additional spending on new product development, clinical studies and spending related to the EU Medical Device Regulation compliance
activities.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $21.1 million as compared to the prior year driven primarily
by the $18.1 million reduction in fair value of contingent consideration for ACell. The remainder of the decrease is a result of reduced employee related costs
and stock-based compensation, partially offset by increased selling costs on commissions and investment in sales force expansion.
Intangible Asset Amortization
Amortization expense (excluding amounts reported in cost of product revenues for technology-based intangible assets) in 2022 was $13.9 million compared to
$16.9 million in 2021 primarily due to a reduction associated with the end of the amortization period for a certain customer relationship intangible asset. In
addition, there was a decrease in amortization expense as a result of intangible assets sold with the TWC divestiture.
We may discontinue certain products in the future as we continue to assess the profitability of our product lines. As our profitability assessment evolves, we
may make further decisions about our trade names and incur additional impairment charges or accelerated amortization. We expect total annual amortization
expense to be approximately $82.3 million in 2023, $81.7 million in 2024, $81.7 million in 2025, $81.5 million in 2026, $79.6 million in 2027 and $551.6
million thereafter.

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $5.2 million as compared to the same period last year primarily due to higher interest
rates in 2022 compared to 2021.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $0.8 million as compared to the same period last year primarily from a lower outstanding
borrowing on the Senior Secured Credit Facility partially offset by increased interest rates.
Gain from the sale of businesses
On August 31, 2022, the Company completed its previously announced sale of its TWC business to Gentell and recognized $0.6 million as a gain from the
sale of the business for the year ended December 31, 2022. On January 4, 2021, the Company completed its sale of its Extremity Orthopedics business and
recognized a gain of $41.8 million in the prior year.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $7.3 million. This was primarily due to due unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, as
well as lower income associated with the transition services agreement invoicing from the divestiture of the Extremity Orthopedics business.

Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 15.6% and 21.2% of income before income taxes in 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Note 13, Income Taxes, in our
consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the United States federal statutory rate to our effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate could vary from
year to year depending on, among other factors, tax law changes, the geographic and business mix and taxable earnings and losses. We consider these factors
and others, including our history of generating taxable earnings, in assessing our ability to realize deferred tax assets.
Our effective tax rate could vary from year to year depending on, among other factors, tax law changes, the geographic and business mix and taxable earnings
and losses. We consider these factors and others, including our history of generating taxable earnings, in assessing our ability to realize deferred tax assets. We
estimate our worldwide effective income tax rate for 2023 to be approximately 20.7%, estimated based on existing tax laws.
At December 31, 2022, the Company had $9.7 million of valuation allowance against the remaining $195.2 million of gross deferred tax assets recorded at
December 31, 2022. Our deferred tax asset valuation allowance decreased by $0.1 million in 2022, remaining substantially unchanged in 2021. This valuation
allowance relates to deferred tax assets for which the Company does not believe it has satisfied the more likely than not threshold for realization.
At December 31, 2022, we had net operating loss carryforwards of $79.5 million for federal income tax purposes, $75.5 million for foreign income tax
purposes and $37.9 million for state income tax purposes to offset future taxable income. The federal net operating loss carryforwards increased during 2022
due to the acquisition of SIA. Of the total federal net operating loss carryforwards, $60.9 million expire through 2037 and $18.6 million have an indefinite
carryforward period. Regarding the foreign net operating loss carryforwards, $16.4 million have an indefinite carryforward period. The state net operating
loss carryforwards expire in 2036.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not provided deferred income taxes on unrepatriated earnings from foreign subsidiaries as they are deemed to be
indefinitely reinvested unless there is a manner under which to remit the earnings with no material tax cost. Such taxes would primarily be attributable to
foreign withholding taxes and local income taxes when such earnings are distributed.

The Company generates significant revenues outside the U.S., a portion of which are U.S. dollar-denominated transactions conducted with customers that
generate revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which those
customers do business could have an impact on the demand for the Company's products in foreign countries. Local economic conditions, regulatory
compliance or political considerations, the effectiveness of our sales representatives and distributors, local competition and changes in local medical practice
all may combine to affect our sales into markets outside the U.S.
Domestic revenues increased by $37.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period last year. These increases are inclusive of
$4.4 million related to the divestiture of the TWC business. European sales decreased by $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the
same period last year. Sales to customers in Asia Pacific decreased by $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period last
year. The Rest of the World for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $3.9 million compared to the same period last year. The international
revenues were impacted by a $37.9 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact as well as $5.8 million related to the divestiture of the TWC business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working Capital
At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, working capital was $840.6 million and $813.7 million, respectively. Working capital consists of total current
assets less total current liabilities as presented in the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash and Marketable Securities
The Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $456.7 million and $513.4 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which
are valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2022, our non-U.S. subsidiaries held approximately $229.8 million of
cash and cash equivalents that are available for use outside the U.S. The Company asserts that it has the ability and intends to indefinitely reinvest the
undistributed earnings from its foreign operations unless there is no material tax cost to remit the earnings into the U.S.

Operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $48.0 million compared to the same period in 2021. Net income after removing the
impact of the gain on sale of businesses and non-cash adjustments increased for the year ended December 31, 2022, by approximately $9.6 million as
compared to 2021 primarily due to earnings from higher revenues. The changes in assets and liabilities, net of business acquisitions, decreased cash flows by
$39.4 million in 2022 as compared to the increase in cash flows of $18.2 million for the same period in 2021. The change in 2022 is mainly attributable to
increases in inventory and accounts receivable. The increase in inventory is due to a build up of safety stock due to supply chain challenges. The increase in
accounts receivable is due to increased sales as well as a decrease in days sales outstanding.
Operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $108.6 million compared to the same period in 2020. Net income after removing the
impact of the gain on sale of business and non-cash adjustments increased for the year ended December 31, 2021, by approximately $49.1 million as
compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the continuing revenue recovery in the current year as compared to the height of the COVID-19
pandemic in the prior year. The changes in assets and liabilities, net of business acquisitions, increased cash flows from operating activities in the current year
by $18.2 million compared to the decrease of $41.3 million for the same period in 2020. The improvement in 2021 working capital is attributable to a
decrease in inventory of $5.4 million due to investments in building safety stock made in the prior year where inventory increased by $48.3 million as well as
improved sales in 2021.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we paid $42.3 million for capital expenditures to support operations improvement initiatives at a number of our
manufacturing facilities and other information technology investments, $51.5 million to acquire SIA, as well as the $4.7 million payment related to the final
developmental milestone for Rebound Therapeutics Corporation. This was partially offset by the net proceeds from the sale of the TWC business of $24.0
million. The proceeds from the sale of the TWC business of $27.8 million is presented net of cash transferred of $3.5 million and other transaction fees.
Additionally, the Company also received $4.9 million proceeds on cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedge.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we paid a net cash amount of $303.9 million in relation to the acquisition of ACell and received net proceeds of
$190.5 million for the sale of the Extremity Orthopedics business. The Company also paid for $48.0 million capital expenditures to support operations
improvement initiatives at a number of our manufacturing facilities and other information technology investments.
41
Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
Uses of cash from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily related to the purchase of treasury stock of $125.0 million under the
2022 accelerated share repurchase agreement that was completed in the first quarter of 2022. In addition, the Company had $24.6 million in cash taxes paid in
net equity settlements as a result of the departure of the former chief executive officer of the Company. The Company also had repayments of $148.6 million
under our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility offset by $40.8 million borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.
The Company also had $5.5 million proceeds from the exercise of stock options. In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we refer to the sixth amendment and
restatement of our Senior Credit Facility with a syndicate of lending banks with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent as the "Senior Credit
Facility."
Uses of cash from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 were repayments of $125.5 million on the revolving portion of our Senior Credit
Facility and Securitization Facility. In addition, the Company had $4.8 million in cash taxes paid in net equity settlements. These uses were offset by $6.8
million proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $25.5 million borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.
Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement, Convertible Senior Notes, Securitization and Related Hedging Activities
See Note 5, Debt, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for a discussion of our Amended
and Restated Senior Credit Agreement, the 2025 Notes and Securitization Facility and Note 6, Derivative Instruments to the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for discussion of our hedging activities. We are forecasting that sales and earnings for the
next twelve months will be sufficient to remain in compliance with our financial covenants under the terms of the February 2020 Amendment and July 2020
Amendment to the Senior Credit Facility.
Share Repurchase Plan
On January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a $125.0 million accelerated share repurchase ("2022 ASR") and received 1.48 million shares of the
Company common stock at inception of the 2022 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total shares under the 2022 ASR. On March
24, 2022, the early exercise provision was exercised by 2022 ASR counterparty. Upon settlement on March 24, 2022, the Company received an additional
0.46 million shares determined using the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the term of the 2022 ASR.
On April 26, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $225.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The program allows
the Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. The repurchase authorization expires in December 2024. This stock repurchase
authorization replaces the previous $225 million stock repurchase authorization, of which $100 million remained authorized at the time of its replacement,
and which was otherwise set to expire on December 31, 2022. Purchases may be affected through one or more open market transactions, privately negotiated
transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing.
On January 26, 2023, the Company entered into a $150 million accelerated share repurchase agreement ("2023 ASR") and received 2.1 million shares of the
Company common stock at inception of the 2023 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total shares of under the 2023 SAR. The
remaining repurchase transactions are expected to be completed in the first half of 2023.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock as part of the shar e repurchase authorization.
See Note 8, Treasury Stock, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for further details.
Dividend Policy
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our formation. Our Senior Credit Facility limits the amount of dividends that we may pay.
Any future determinations to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend upon our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flows and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
Capital Resources
We believe that our cash and available borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are sufficient to finance our operations and capital expenditures over the
next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the growth of our business, the timing and introduction of new
products and investments, strategic plans and acquisitions, among others. Additional sources of liquidity available to us include short term borrowings and the
issuance of long term debt and equity securities.
42
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off–balance sheet financing arrangements during the year-ended December 31, 2022 that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current
or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that are material to our interests.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We will continue to have cash requirements to support seasonal working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest, to service debt, and to fund
acquisitions. As part of our ongoing operations, we enter into contractual arrangements that obligate us to make future cash payments.
Our primary obligations include principal and interest payments on revolving portion and Term Loan component of the Senior Credit Facility, Securitization
Facility and Convertible Securities. See Note 5, Debt, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-
K) for details. The Company also leases some of our manufacturing facilities and office buildings which have future minimum lease payments associated. See
Note 11, Leases and Related Party Leases, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for a
schedule of our future minimum lease payments. Amounts related to the Company's other obligations, including employment agreements and purchase
obligations were not material.
The Company has contingent consideration obligations related to prior and current year acquisitions and future pension contribution obligations. See Note 10,
Retirement Benefit Plans, and Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K) for details. The associated obligations are not fixed. The Company also has a liability for uncertain tax benefits including interest and
penalties. See Note 12, Income Taxes to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for details.
The Company cannot make a reliable estimate of the period in which the uncertain tax benefits may be realized.
Employee Termination Benefits
The Company incurred employee termination costs on restructuring activities associated with a closure of a manufacturing facility located in France,
outsourcing plans for select transactional back office activities, and executive reorganization in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2022. In 2021, the Company incurred employee termination costs on restructuring activities associated with the closure of the manufacturing
facility in France. Restructuring costs were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet for the year ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for further details.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND THE USE OF ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires
us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements include allowances
for doubtful accounts receivable and sales returns and allowances, net realizable value of inventories, valuation of intangible assets including amortization
periods for acquired intangible assets, discount rates and estimated projected cash flows used to value and test impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill,
estimates of projected cash flows and depreciation and amortization periods for long-lived assets, computation of taxes, valuation allowances recorded against
deferred tax assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, valuation of contingent liabilities, the fair value of debt
instruments and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the current circumstances.
As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and recent variants of the virus, as well as the adverse impacts to global economic conditions, supply
chain and our operations, there may be impact to future estimates including, but not limited to, inventory valuations, fair value measurements, goodwill and
long-lived asset impairments, the effectiveness of the Company’s hedging instruments, deferred tax valuation allowances, and allowances for doubtful
accounts receivable.
We believe that the following accounting policies, which form the basis for developing these estimates, are those that are most critical to the presentation of
our consolidated financial statements and require the more difficult subjective and complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the
effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of this uncertainty, actual results could differ from these estimates.
43
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out
method) or net realizable value. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate ending inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence or shelf-life expiration. Our
evaluation includes an analysis of historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand by product, the risk of technological or competitive
obsolescence for our products, general market conditions, a review of the shelf-life expiration dates for our products, and the feasibility of reworking or using
excess or obsolete products or components in the production or assembly of other products that are not obsolete or for which we do not have excess quantities
in inventory. To the extent that we determine there are excess or obsolete quantities or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for us to
reasonably expect that we can sell those products prior to their expiration, we adjust their carrying value to estimated net realizable value. If future demand or
market conditions are lower than our projections, or if we are unable to rework excess or obsolete quantities into other products, we may record further
adjustments to the carrying value of inventory through a charge to cost of product revenues in the period the revision is made. As of December 31, 2022, our
reserve for inventory obsolesce is 6% of total inventory on our consolidated balance sheets.
The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with certain products prior to regulatory approval, based on management's judgment of probable
economic benefit. The Company could be required to expense previously capitalized costs related to pre-approval inventory upon a change in such judgment,
due to, among other potential factors, a denial or delay of approval by necessary regulatory bodies or a decision by management to discontinue the related
development program.
Acquisitions
Results of operations of acquired companies are included in the Company’s results of operations as of the respective acquisition dates. The Company accounts
for the acquisition of a business in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC Topic 805"). Amounts paid to acquire a business are
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of the net assets acquired in recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company are expensed as incurred.
Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value as measured on the date of acquisition. The value recorded is based on estimates of future financial
projections under various potential scenarios using either a Monte Carlo simulation or the probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue
estimates and probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations. Contingent payments related to acquisitions consist of
development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments, in addition to sales-based payments, and are valued using discounted cash flow techniques.
Each quarter until such contingent amounts are earned, the fair value of the liability is remeasured at each reporting period and adjusted as a component of
operating expenses based on changes to the underlying assumptions. The change in the fair value of sales-based payments is based upon future revenue
estimates and increases or decreases as revenue estimates or expectation of timing of payment charges. The estimates used to determine the fair value of the
contingent consideration liability are subject to significant judgment and actual results are likely to differ from the amounts originally recorded.
The Company determines the fair value of acquired intangible assets based on detailed valuations that use certain information and assumptions provided by
management. The Company allocates any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired to goodwill. Determining
the fair value of these intangible assets, acquired as part of a business combination requires the Company to make significant estimates. These estimates
include the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, the discount rate used to discount those cash flows to present value, the assessment of the
asset’s life cycle, and the consideration of legal, technical, regulatory, economic, and competitive risks. The fair value assigned to other intangible assets is
determined by estimating the future cash flows of each project or technology and discounting the net cash flows back to their present values. The discount rate
used is determined at the time of measurement in accordance with accepted valuation methodologies.
In our most recent acquisition of SIA, the key areas of judgement relating to the valuation of the acquired definite-lived developed technology intangible
assets were the net revenue growth rates, cost of sales, selling and marketing costs, discounts rates, and asset useful life. The key areas of judgement relating
to the valuation of the contingent consideration are the inputs to the Monte-Carlo model including revenue-adjusted discount rate, counterpart discount rate,
revenue volatility and forecasted revenue, earnings before income taxes and fixed costs. These assumptions were developed with the assistance of a third-
party valuation expert.
44
Acquired IPR&D is recognized at fair value and initially characterized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, irrespective of whether the acquired IPR&D has
an alternative future use. The Company uses the income approach to determine the fair value of developed technology and IPR&D acquired in a business
combination. This approach determines fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to the respective asset over its useful life and then
discounting these after-tax cash flows back to a present value. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations
include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each product including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs, the
appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, and
competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream. The Company also uses the income approach, as described above, to determine the
estimated fair value of certain other identifiable intangible assets including customer relationships, trade names and business licenses. Customer relationships
represent established relationships with customers, which provide a ready channel for the sale of additional products and services. Trade names represent
acquired company and product names.
IPR&D acquired in a business combination is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Development costs incurred after the acquisition are expensed
as incurred. Upon receipt of regulatory approval, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is then accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized on a
straight-line basis or accelerated basis, as appropriate, over its estimated useful life. If the research and development project is subsequently abandoned, the
indefinite-lived intangible asset is charged to expense. IPR&D acquired outside of a business combination is expensed immediately.
Due to the uncertainty associated with research and development projects, there is risk that actual results will differ materially from the original cash flow
projections and that the research and development project will result in a successful commercial product. The risks associated with achieving
commercialization include, but are not limited to, delay or failure to obtain regulatory approvals to conduct clinical trials, delay or failure to obtain required
market clearances, delays or issues with patent issuance, or validity and litigation.
If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and
no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, the amount allocated to acquired IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the
acquisition date. Payments that would be recognized as contingent consideration in a business combination are expensed when probable in an asset
acquisition. Refer to Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form
10-K) for details.
Valuation of Goodwill
The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is reviewed
for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company's assessment of the recoverability of
goodwill is based upon a comparison of the carrying value of goodwill with its estimated fair value. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of
goodwill include the Company's discounts rate and forecasted operating results. The Company had goodwill on the balance sheet of $1 billion as of December
31, 2022. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment in the third quarter every year in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other
("ASC Topic 350"), and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Refer to Note 7,
Goodwill and Other Intangibles, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for more
information.
Valuation of Identifiable Intangible Assets
The Company tests intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the third quarter in accordance with ASC Topic 350. Additionally, the
Company may perform interim tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a indefinite lived intangible
asset below its carrying amount. The Company tests for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative
evaluation is an assessment of factors, including specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether
it is more likely than not that the fair values of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative
evaluation and perform a quantitative test. There were no changes to identifiable intangible assets as a result of the Company's assessments.
Product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and
Equipment, ("ASC Topic 360") when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment test
involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows. In the event the carrying value of the
asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is considered not recoverable and impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as
the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value, calculated using discounted future cash flows. The computed impairment loss is recognized in the
period that the impairment occurs.
45
As of December 31, 2022, the Company has $1.1 billion of identifiable intangible assets, net on the balance sheets.
Income Taxes
Since we conduct operations on a global basis, our effective tax rate has and will depend upon the geographic distribution of our pre-tax earnings among
locations with varying tax rates. Changes in the tax rates of the various jurisdictions in which we operate affect our profits. In addition, we maintain a reserve
for uncertain tax benefits, changes to which could impact our effective tax rate in the period such changes are made. The effective tax rate can also be
impacted by changes in valuation allowances of deferred tax assets, and tax law changes.
Our provision for income taxes may change period-to-period based on specific events, such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as
well as general factors, including the geographic mix of income before taxes, state and local taxes and the effects of the Company's global income tax
strategies. We maintain strategic management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries. See Note 12, Income Taxes, to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K), in our consolidated financial statements for disclosures related to foreign and
domestic pretax income, foreign and domestic income tax expense (benefit) and the effect foreign taxes have on our overall effective tax rate.
We recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of
the position. The amount of the accrual for which an exposure exists is measured by determining the amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of
being realized upon ultimate settlement of the position. Components of the reserve are classified as a long-term liability in the consolidated balance sheets.
We record interest and penalties accrued in relation to uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
We believe that we have identified all reasonably identifiable exposures and that the reserve we have established for identifiable exposures is appropriate
under the circumstances; however, it is possible that additional exposures exist and that exposures will be settled at amounts different from the amounts
reserved. It is also possible that changes in facts and circumstances could cause us to either materially increase or reduce the carrying amount of our tax
reserves.
Our deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and their basis for income tax purposes, and the temporary differences created by the tax effects of capital loss, net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. We record valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We could
recognize no benefit from our deferred tax assets or we could recognize some or all of the future benefit depending on the amount and timing of taxable
income we generate in the future.
We intend to indefinitely reinvest substantially all of our foreign earnings in our foreign subsidiaries unless there is a tax–free manner under which to remit
the earnings. The current analysis indicates that we have sufficient U.S. liquidity, including borrowing capacity, to fund foreseeable U.S. cash needs without
requiring the repatriation of foreign cash. One time or unusual items that may impact our ability or intent to keep the foreign earnings and cash indefinitely
reinvested include significant U.S. acquisitions, loans from a foreign subsidiary, and changes in tax laws.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not provided deferred income taxes on unrepatriated earnings from foreign subsidiaries as they are deemed to be
indefinitely reinvested unless there is a manner under which to remit the earnings with no material tax cost. Such taxes would primarily be attributable to

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates that could adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition. To manage the volatility relating to these typical business exposures, we may enter into various derivative transactions
when appropriate. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
46
Foreign Currency Exchange and Other Rate Risks
We operate on a global basis and are exposed to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows. We are primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to transactions and net assets denominated in
Euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, Mexican pesos, Brazilian reais, Australian dollars and Chinese yuan. We manage the
foreign currency exposure centrally, on a combined basis, which allows us to net exposures and to take advantage of any natural offsets. To mitigate the
impact of currency fluctuations on transactions denominated in nonfunctional currencies, we periodically enter into derivative financial instruments in the
form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions. We temporarily record realized and unrealized gains and losses on
these contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income, and then recognize them in other income or expense when the hedged item
affects net earnings.
From time to time, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage currency exposures for transactions denominated in a currency other
than an entity’s functional currency. As a result, the impact of foreign currency gains/losses recognized in earnings are partially offset by gains/losses on the
related foreign currency forward exchange contracts in the same reporting period. Refer to Note 6, Derivative Instruments, to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for additional information.
We maintain written policies and procedures governing our risk management activities. With respect to derivatives, changes in hedged items are generally
expected to be completely offset by changes in the fair value of hedge instruments. Consequently, foreign currency exchange contracts would not subject us to
material risk due to exchange rate movements, because gains and losses on these contracts offset gains and losses on the assets, liabilities or transactions being
hedged.
The results of operations discussed herein have not been materially affected by inflation.
Interest Rate Risk
Cash and Cash Equivalents - We are exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations on the interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. A
hypothetical 100 basis points movement in interest rates applicable to our cash and cash equivalents outstanding at December 31, 2022 would increase interest
income by approximately $5.1 million on an annual basis. No significant decrease in interest income would be expected as our cash balances are earning
interest at rates of approximately one basis points. We are subject to foreign currency exchange risk with respect to cash balances maintained in foreign
currencies.
Debt - Our interest rate risk relates primarily to U.S. dollar LIBOR-indexed borrowings. We use interest rate swap derivative instruments to manage our
earnings and cash flow exposure to changes in interest rates. These interest rate swaps fix the interest rate on a portion of our expected LIBOR-indexed
floating-rate borrowings. The Company held the following interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2022 (dollar amounts in thousands):

These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2022. The total notional amounts related to the Company’s interest rate
swaps were $1.5 billion and with $775.0 million effective as of December 31, 2022. Based on our outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2022, a 100 basis
points change in interest rates would have impacted interest expense on the unhedged portion of the debt by $1.1 million on an annualized basis.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management has designed our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2022 to provide such reasonable assurance.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America (“GAAP”). We recognize that because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
To evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria described in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based upon this evaluation, management
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an
independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter
ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B.

the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting of the stockholders may not exceed the number of directors

• Modify the provisions relating to adjournment procedures, availability of lists of stockholders entitled to vote at stockholder meetings, and electronic
notices, in each case, to reflect amendments to the DGCL. (Article 2, Sections 2.04 and 2.05; Article 4, Section 4.01)
Provide that any proxies received for disqualified or withdrawn Board nominees will be treated as abstentions. (Article 2, Section 2.08)
•
• Add a provision for stockholder actions by written consent that requires the Company to engage an independent inspector of election to perform a
•
review of the validity of the applicable consents and revocations. (Article 2, Section 2.09)
Clarify the powers of the chair of a stockholder meeting, including with respect to the chair’s ability to prescribe rules and regulations for the
conduct of the meeting. (Article 2, Section 2.11)

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial
statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the COSO.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for convertible instruments in 2021.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's
internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
F-1
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements
and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our
opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate
opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc. Acquisition - Valuation of Developed Technology Intangible Asset
As described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, on December 6, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Surgical Innovation
Associates, Inc. (SIA) for an acquisition purchase price of $51.5 million, and will pay up to an additional $50 million upon the achievement of certain
revenue-based performance milestones in 2023, 2024, and 2025 and up to an additional $40.0M upon the approval by the FDA of the Premarketing Approval
Application for DuraSorb. The acquisition also resulted in a $75 million developed technology intangible asset being recorded. The estimated fair value of the
developed technology acquired was determined by management using the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach. Management’s
significant assumptions used in the estimate of fair value included the estimated net cash flows, including net revenues, cost of sales, research and
development costs, selling and marketing costs, working capital, contributory asset charges, discount rate, the asset’s life cycle, and competitive trends
impacting the asset and the cash flow stream.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of developed technology intangible asset from the
acquisition of Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc. is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value
estimate of the acquired developed technology intangible asset, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment , subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and
evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to net revenues, cost of sales, discount rate and the asset’s life cycle; and (iii) the audit effort
involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over
management’s valuation of the acquired developed technology intangible asset and controls over the development of significant assumptions related to net
revenues, cost of sales, discount rate and the asset’s life cycle. These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreement and (ii)
testing management’s process for developing the estimated fair value of the developed technology intangible asset. Testing management’s process included
evaluating the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method, testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the method, and
evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management related to net revenues, cost of sales, discount rate and the asset’s life cycle.
Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assumptions related to net revenues, cost of sales, and the asset’s life cycle involved considering (i) current
and past performance of the product associated with the developed technology acquired; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii)
whether the assumptions are consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to
assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the Company’s multi-period excess earnings method and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate and the
asset’s life cycle assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS
Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1989. The Company is a worldwide leader in medical
technology. The Company was founded with the acquisition of an engineered collagen technology platform used to repair and regenerate tissue. Since then,
Integra has developed numerous product lines from this technology for applications ranging from burn and deep tissue wounds to the repair of dura mater in
the brain, as well as nerves and tendons. The Company has expanded its base regenerative technology business to include surgical instruments, neurosurgical
products and advanced wound care through global acquisitions and product development to meet the evolving needs of its customers and enhance patient
care. The Company sells its products directly through various sales forces and through a variety of other distribution channels.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements and the accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and conform to Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for details of new subsidiaries included in the consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") which
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements include
allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and sales returns and allowances, net realizable value of inventories, valuation of intangible assets including
amortization periods for acquired intangible assets, discount rates and estimated projected cash flows used to value and test impairments of long-lived assets
and goodwill, estimates of projected cash flows and depreciation and amortization periods for long-lived assets, computation of taxes, valuation allowances
recorded against deferred tax assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, valuation of contingent liabilities, the fair
value of debt instruments and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As the Company continues to navigate the novel coronavirus
("COVID-19") pandemic and recent variants of the virus as well as the adverse impacts to global economic conditions, supply chain and the operations, there
may be impact to future estimates including, but not limited to, inventory valuations, fair value measurements, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, the
effectiveness of the Company’s hedging instruments, deferred tax valuation allowances, and allowances for doubtful accounts receivable.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These
investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company grants credit to customers in the normal course of
business, but generally does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables.
The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The Company recognizes a provision for doubtful
accounts that reflects the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses for trade accounts receivable. In circumstances where a specific customer is unable to
meet its financial obligations to the Company, a provision to the allowances for doubtful accounts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net
recognized receivable to the amount that is reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, the Company evaluates measurement of all expected
credit losses for trade receivables held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
F - 8
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective transition method which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the
opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption with no change to financial results reported in prior periods. The cumulative-
effect adjustment recorded on January 1, 2020 was not material. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures. The Company's exposure to credit losses may increase if its customers are adversely affected by changes in
healthcare laws, coverage, and reimbursement, economic pressures or uncertainty associated with local or global economic recessions, disruption associated
with the COVID-19 pandemic and recent variants of the virus, and other customer-specific factors. Although the Company has historically not experienced
significant credit losses, it is possible that there could be an adverse impact due to customer and governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Provisions to the allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses. Account balances are charged off against the
allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. Provision for doubtful accounts, net of recoveries, associated with accounts
receivable, included in selling, general and administrative expense, was charges of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, recoveries of $1.1
million, and charges of $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The below table shows the rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020:

At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence or shelf life expiration. This evaluation includes analysis of
historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products, general market conditions,
a review of the shelf life expiration dates for products, as well as the feasibility of reworking or using excess or obsolete products or components in the
production or assembly of other products that are not obsolete or for which there are not excess quantities in inventory. To the extent that management
determines there are excess or obsolete inventory or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for the Company to reasonably expect that it can
sell those products prior to their expiration, the Company adjusts the carrying value to estimated net realizable value.
The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with certain products prior to regulatory approval, based on management's judgment of probable
economic benefit. The Company could be required to expense previously capitalized costs related to pre-approval inventory upon a change in such judgment,
due to, among other potential factors, a denial or delay of approval by necessary regulatory bodies or a decision by management to discontinue the related
development program. No such amounts were capitalized at December 31, 2022 or 2021.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges. The Company provides for depreciation
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the
useful life. The cost of major additions and improvements is capitalized, while maintenance and repair costs that do not improve or extend the lives of the
respective assets are charged to operations as incurred. The cost of computer software developed or obtained for internal use is accounted for in accordance
with the Accounting Standards Codification 350-40, Internal-Use Software.
Property, plant and equipment balances and corresponding lives were as follows:

Depreciation expense associated with property, plant and equipment was $40.1 million, $39.4 million, and $42.1 million for the years ended December 31,
2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
CAPITALIZED INTEREST
The interest cost on capital projects, including facilities build-out and internal use software, is capitalized and included in the cost of the project.
Capitalization commences with the first expenditure for the project and continues until the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
When no debt is incurred specifically for a project, interest is capitalized on project expenditures using the weighted average cost of the Company's
outstanding borrowings. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company capitalized $1.4 million and $1.2 million of interest
expense into property, plant and equipment.
ACQUISITIONS
Results of operations of acquired companies are included in the Company’s results of operations as of the respective acquisition dates. The Company accounts
for the acquisition of a business in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC Topic 805"). Amounts paid to acquire a business are allocated to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net
assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company are expensed as incurred.
Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value as measured on the date of acquisition. The value recorded is based on estimates of future financial
projections under various potential scenarios using either a Monte Carlo simulation or the probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue
estimates and probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations. Contingent payments related to acquisitions consist of
development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments, in addition to sales-based payments, and are valued using discounted cash flow techniques.
Each quarter until such contingent amounts are earned, the fair value of the liability is remeasured at each reporting period and adjusted as a component of
operating expenses based on changes to the underlying assumptions. The change in the fair value of sales-based payments is based upon future revenue
estimates and increases or decreases as revenue estimates or expectation of timing of payment charges. The estimates used to determine the fair value of the
contingent consideration liability are subject to significant judgment and actual results are likely to differ from the amounts originally recorded.
F-10
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Company determines the fair value of acquired intangible assets based on detailed valuations that use certain information and assumptions provided by
management. The Company allocates any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired to goodwill. Determining
the fair value of these intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination requires the Company to make significant estimates. These estimates
include the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, the discount rate used to discount those cash flows to present value, the assessment of the
asset’s life cycle, and the consideration of legal, technical, regulatory, economic, and competitive risks. The fair value assigned to other intangible assets is
determined by estimating the future cash flows of each project or technology and discounting the net cash flows back to their present values. The discount rate
used is determined at the time of measurement in accordance with accepted valuation methodologies.
Acquired IPR&D is recognized at fair value and initially characterized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, irrespective of whether the acquired IPR&D has
an alternative future use. The Company uses the income approach to determine the fair value of developed technology and IPR&D acquired in a business
combination. This approach determines fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to the respective asset over its useful life and then
discounting these after-tax cash flows back to a present value. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations
include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each product including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs, the
appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, and
competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream. The Company also uses the income approach, as described above, to determine the
estimated fair value of certain other identifiable intangible assets including customer relationships, trade names and business licenses. Customer relationships
represent established relationships with customers, which provide a ready channel for the sale of additional products and services. Trade names represent
acquired company and product names.
IPR&D acquired in a business combination is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Development costs incurred after the acquisition are expensed
as incurred. Upon receipt of regulatory approval, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is then accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized on a
straight-line basis or accelerated basis, as appropriate, over its estimated useful life. If the research and development project is subsequently abandoned, the
indefinite-lived intangible asset is charged to expense. IPR&D acquired outside of a business combination is expensed immediately.
Due to the uncertainty associated with research and development projects, there is risk that actual results will differ materially from the original cash flow
projections and that the research and development project will result in a successful commercial product. The risks associated with achieving
commercialization include, but are not limited to, delay or failure to obtain regulatory approvals to conduct clinical trials, delay or failure to obtain required
market clearances, delays or issues with patent
issuance, or validity and litigation.
If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and
no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, the amount allocated to acquired IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the
acquisition date. Payments that would be recognized as contingent consideration in a business combination are expensed when probable in an asset
acquisition. Refer to Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures for more information.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is reviewed
for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company's assessment of the recoverability of
goodwill is based upon a comparison of the carrying value of goodwill with its estimated fair value. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment in the
third quarter every year in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC Topic 350") and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Refer to Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangibles for more information.
The Company has two reportable segments with three underlying reporting units. Refer to Note 16, Segment and Geographic Information for more
information on reportable segments.
Other intangible assets include patents, trademarks, purchased technology, and supplier and customer relationships. Identifiable intangible assets are initially
recorded at fair market value at the time of acquisition generally using an income or cost approach. The Company capitalizes costs incurred to renew or
extend the term of recognized intangible assets and amortizes those costs
over their expected useful lives.
F-11
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Company tests intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the third quarter in accordance with ASC Topic 350. Additionally, the
Company may perform interim tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible
asset below its carrying amount. The Company tests for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative
evaluation is an assessment of factors, including specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether
it is more likely than not that the fair values of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative
evaluation and perform a quantitative test.
Product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment in accordance with ASC 350 Topic when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset or
asset group to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows. In the event the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the
carrying value is considered not recoverable and impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair
value, calculated using discounted future cash flows. The computed impairment loss is recognized in the period that the impairment occurs.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and leases are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the
recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used, a recoverability test is performed using projected undiscounted net cash flows applicable to the long-
lived assets. If an impairment exists, the amount of such impairment is calculated based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairments to long-lived
assets to be disposed of are recorded based upon the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the applicable assets.
INTEGRA FOUNDATION
The Company may periodically make contributions to the Integra Foundation, Inc. The Integra Foundation was incorporated in 2002 exclusively for
charitable, educational, and scientific purposes and qualifies under IRC 501(c)(3) as an exempt private foundation. Under its charter, the Integra Foundation
engages in activities that promote health, the diagnosis and treatment of disease, and the development of medical science through grants, contributions and
other appropriate means. The Integra Foundation is a separate legal entity and is not a subsidiary of the Company; therefore, its results are not included in
these consolidated financial statements. The Company contributed $0.0 million, $1.2 million and $0.8 million to the Integra Foundation during the years
ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These contributions were recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense.
DERIVATIVES
The Company develops, manufactures, and sells medical devices globally and its earnings and cash flows are exposed to market risk from changes in interest
rates and currency exchange rates. The Company addresses these risks through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial
instruments and operates the program pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies. All derivative financial instruments are recognized in the
financial statements at fair value in accordance with the authoritative guidance. Under the guidance, for those instruments that are designated and qualify as
hedging instruments, the hedging instrument must be designated as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation,
based on the exposure being hedged. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and
qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. The Company's derivative instruments do not subject its earnings
or cash flows to material risk, and gains and losses on these derivatives generally offset losses and gains on the item being hedged. The Company has not
entered into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. From time to time, the Company may enter into derivatives that are not designated as hedging
instruments in order to protect itself from currency volatility due to intercompany balances.
All derivative instruments are recognized at the fair values as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company determines the fair value of its
derivative instruments using the framework prescribed by the authoritative guidance, by considering the estimated amount the Company would receive to sell
or transfer these instruments at the reporting date and by taking into account expected forward interest rates, currency exchange rates, the creditworthiness of
the counterparty for assets, and its creditworthiness for liabilities. In certain instances, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow model to measure fair
value. Generally, the Company uses inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, other observable inputs for the asset or
liability and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means. The Company has classified all of its
derivative assets and liabilities within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of its derivative
instruments. The Company classifies derivatives designated as hedges in the same category as the item being hedged for cash flow presentation purposes.
F-12
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Company entered into foreign currency forward and foreign currency swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting
purposes. These contracts are recorded at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized into other income, net, on the consolidated financial statements.
Refer to Note 6, Derivative Instruments for more information.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries which have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange at year-end,
while elements of the income statement are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. The net effect of these translation adjustments is
shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These currency translation adjustments are not currently adjusted for income taxes
as they relate to permanent investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Foreign currency transaction net losses of $3.3 million, net gains of less than $0.1 million,
and net losses $1.6 million are reported in other income, net in the statements of operations, for the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for by using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. A
valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical
merits of the position. Reserves are established for positions that don't meet this recognition threshold. The reserve is measured as the largest amount of
benefit determined on a cumulative probability basis that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the position.
These reserves are classified as long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company, unless the reserves are expected to be paid in cash
during the next twelve months, in which case they are classified as current liabilities. The Company also records interest and penalties accrued in relation to
uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
While the Company believes it has identified all reasonable exposures and the reserve it has established is appropriate under the circumstances, it is possible
that additional exposures exist and that exposures may be settled at amounts different than the amounts reserved. It is also possible that changes in facts and
circumstances could cause the Company to either materially increase or reduce the carrying amount of its tax reserve.
The Company continues to indefinitely reinvest substantially all of its foreign earnings unless there is a manner under which to remit the earnings without a
material tax cost. The current provisional analysis indicates that the Company has sufficient U.S. liquidity, including borrowing capacity, to fund foreseeable
U.S. cash needs without requiring the repatriation of foreign cash. One time or unusual items that may impact the ability or intent to keep the foreign earnings
and cash indefinitely reinvested include significant U.S. acquisitions, loans from a foreign subsidiary and changes in tax laws.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to the customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the
Company expects to receive in exchange for those products and services.
Total revenue, net, includes product sales, product royalties and other revenues, such as fees received from services.
For products shipped with FOB shipping point terms, the control of the product passes to the customer at the time of shipment. For shipments in which the
control of the product is transferred when the customer receives the product, the Company recognizes revenue upon receipt by the customer. Certain products
that the Company produces for private label customers have no alternative use and the Company has a right of payment for performance to date. Revenues
from those products are recognized over the period that the Company manufactures these products, which is typically one month to three months. The
Company uses the input method to measure the manufacturing activities completed to date, which depicts the progress of the Company's performance
obligation of transferring control of goods being manufactured for private label customers.
A portion of the Company's product revenue is generated from consigned inventory maintained at hospitals and distributors, and also from inventory
physically held by field sales representatives. For these types of products sales, the Company retains control until the product has been used or implanted, at
which time revenue is recognized.
F-13
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Revenues from sale of products and services are evidenced by either a contract with the customer or a valid purchase order and an invoice which includes all
relevant terms of sale. For product sales, invoices are generally issued upon the transfer of control (or upon the completion of the manufacturing in the case of
the private label transactions recognized over time) and are typically payable 30 days after the invoice date. The Company performs a review of each specific
customer's creditworthiness and ability to pay prior to acceptance as a customer. Further, the Company performs periodic reviews of its customers'
creditworthiness prospectively. Refer to Note 3, Revenue From Contracts With Customers for more information. The Company also maintains a provision for
estimated returns and allowances in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. This reserve is based upon an analysis of actual credit memos issued
for pricing issues or returned goods over an extended period, as well as assumptions about outstanding accounts receivable and judgment in interpreting the
data.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs, including salaries, depreciation, consultant and other external fees, and facility costs directly attributable to research and
development activities, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
EMPLOYEE TERMINATION BENEFITS
The Company does not have a written severance plan, and it does not offer similar termination benefits to affected employees in all restructuring initiatives.
Accordingly, in situations where minimum statutory termination benefits must be paid to the affected employees, the Company records employee severance
costs associated with these restructuring activities in accordance with the authoritative guidance for non-retirement post-employment benefits. Charges
associated with these activities are recorded when the payment of benefits is probable and can be reasonably estimated. In all other situations where the
Company pays out termination benefits, including supplemental benefits paid in excess of statutory minimum amounts and benefits offered to affected
employees based on management's discretion, the Company records these termination costs in accordance with the authoritative guidance for ASC Topic 712
Compensation - Nonretirement Benefits and ASC Topic 420 One-time Employee Termination Benefits.
The timing of the recognition of charges for employee severance costs other than minimum statutory benefits depends on whether the affected employees are
required to render service beyond their legal notification period in order to receive the benefits. If affected employees are required to render service beyond
their legal notification period, charges are recognized over the future service period. Otherwise, charges are recognized when management has approved a
specific plan and employee communication requirements have been met.
The Company incurred employee termination costs on restructuring activities associated with a closure of a manufacturing facility in France and other
reorganization projects in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. In 2021, the Company incurred employee
termination costs on restructuring activities associated with the closure of a manufacturing facility in France. The following table summarizes our

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Relevant authoritative guidance requires companies to recognize the expense related to the fair value of their stock-based compensation awards. Stock-based
compensation expense for stock option awards are based on the grant date fair value using the binomial distribution model. The Company recognizes
compensation expense for stock option awards, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and contract stock awards over the requisite service period
of the award. All excess tax benefits and taxes and tax deficiencies from stock-based compensation are included in provision for income taxes in the
consolidated statement of operations. Refer to Note 9, Stock-based Compensation for more information.

PENSION BENEFITS
The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans that cover certain employees in France, Japan, Germany and Switzerland. Various factors are
considered in determining the pension liability, including the number of employees expected to be paid their salary levels and years of service, the expected
return on plan assets, the discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations, the timing of benefit payments and other actuarial assumptions.
Retirement benefit plan assumptions are reassessed on an annual basis or more frequently if changes in circumstances indicate a re-evaluation of assumptions
are required. The key benefit plan assumptions are the discount rate and expected rate of return on plan assets. The discount rate is based on average rates on
bonds that matched the expected cash outflows of the benefit plans. The expected rate of return is based on historical and expected returns on the various
categories of plan assets.
The Company uses the corridor approach in measuring the amount of net periodic benefit pension cost to recognize each period. The corridor approach defers
all actuarial gains and losses resulting from variances between actual results and actuarial assumptions. Those unrecognized gains and losses are amortized
when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the
year. The amount in excess of the corridor is amortized over the average remaining service period to retirement date of active plan participants.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan in which certain employees of the Company may defer the payment and taxation of up to 75% of their
base salary and up to 100% of bonus amounts and other eligible cash compensation.
This deferred compensation is invested in funds offered under the Plan and is valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. The purpose
of the plan is to retain key employees by providing them with an opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation as elected by the participant in
accordance with the plan. Any amounts set aside to defray the liabilities assumed by the Company will remain the general assets of the Company until such
amounts are distributed to the participants. Assets of the Company's deferred compensation plan are included in Other current assets and recorded at fair value
based on their quoted market prices.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, which are held
at major financial institutions, investment-grade marketable debt securities and trade receivables.
The Company's products are sold on an uncollateralized basis and on credit terms based upon a credit risk assessment of each customer. A portion of the
Company's trade receivables to customers outside the United States includes sales to foreign distributors, who then sell to government owned or supported
healthcare systems.
None of the Company's customers accounted for 10% or more of the consolidated net sales during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, intended to simplify the accounting for
income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an
interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise
taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-
12 as of January 1, 2021. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The
adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
F-15
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), and subsequent amendment to the initial guidance: ASU 2021-01,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (collectively, “Topic 848”). Topic 848 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to
contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts,
hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued
because of reference rate reform. The guidance generally can be applied from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. On October 5, 2022, the FASB
approved an extension of the sunset date of the reference rate reform from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, past LIBOR’s end date. The Company
currently has contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and are continuing to evaluate the scope of impacted contracts and potential risk. The Company expects all
LIBOR-based contracts to be replaced by the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is calculated based on overnight transactions under
repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of private-market participants convened by the
U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the New York Federal Reserve, has recommended the use of SOFR as a more robust reference rate alternative to LIBOR. The
use of SOFR as a substitute for LIBOR is, however, voluntary and may not be suitable for all market participants. There can be no assurance that the
replacement rate will be economically equivalent to LIBOR, which could result in higher interest rates for us under our debt facilities. There is no guarantee
that a transition from LIBOR to SOFR will not result in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark rates, or our borrowing costs, any of
which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt- Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts
in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The guidance simplifies
accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments
will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement
conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify. The guidance
also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The ASU will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years using
either the modified retrospective or full retrospective method.
As detailed in Note 5, Debt, on February 4, 2020, the Company issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.5% Convertible Senior Notes due
2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The 2025 Notes are subject to the guidance included in ASU 2020-06. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021
using the modified retrospective approach which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment that increased (decreased) the following consolidated balance

On December 9, 2020, the Company made an irrevocable election under the indenture to require the principal portion of its 2025 Notes to be settled in cash
and any excess in shares. Following the irrevocable notice, only the amounts settled in excess of the principal will be considered in diluted earnings per share
under the “if-converted” method. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company’s 2025 Notes were reflected entirely as a liability since the embedded
conversion feature will no longer be separately presented within stockholders’ equity. Additionally, from January 1, 2021, the Company is no longer incurring
non-cash interest expense for the amortization of debt discount.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure
requirements to align with the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") . The ASU has been effective for the Company for
annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2021. The Company adopted this standard on the January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not
have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation
—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain

modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU No. 2021-04 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendment currently has no
impact to the Company as the effect will largely depend on the terms of written call options or financings issued or modified in the future.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have any significant effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash paid for interest during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $42.2 million (net of $1.4 million that was capitalized into construction
in progress), $43.2 million (net of $1.2 million that was capitalized into construction in progress) and $47.3 million (net of $2.3 million that was capitalized
into construction in progress), respectively.
Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds, for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $35.9 million, $49.5 million and $29.8 million,
respectively.
NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Property and equipment purchases included in liabilities at December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $10.5 million, $4.7 million and $1.6 million,
respectively.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company achieved its final developmental milestone which triggered a $5.0 million obligation to be paid to former
shareholders of Rebound Therapeutics Corporation ("Rebound"). The Company recorded $5.0 million as an intangible asset in the consolidated balance sheet
upon achieving the milestone. The remaining obligation was included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2021 in the consolidated balance sheets. The
milestone was fully paid in 2022.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company achieved another developmental milestone which triggered a $20.0 million obligation to be paid to the former
shareholders of Rebound. The Company recorded $20.0 million as an intangible asset in the consolidated balance sheet upon achieving the milestone. The
milestone was paid during the fourth quarter of 2020.
3. REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Summary of Accounting Policies on Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to the customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the
Company expects to receive in exchange for those products and services.
Performance Obligations
The Company's performance obligations consist mainly of transferring control of goods and services identified in the contracts, purchase orders, or invoices.
The Company has no significant multi-element contracts with customers.
Significant Judgments
Usage-based royalties and licenses are estimated based on the provisions of contracts with customers and recognized in the same period that the royalty-based
products are sold by the Company's strategic partners. The Company estimates and recognizes royalty revenue based upon communication with licensees,
historical information, and expected sales trends. Differences between actual reported licensee sales and those that were estimated are adjusted in the period in
which they become known, which is typically the following quarter. Historically, such adjustments have not been significant.
The Company estimates returns, price concessions, and discount allowances using the expected value method based on historical trends and other known
factors. Rebate allowances are estimated using the most likely method based on each customer contract.
The Company's return policy, as set forth in its product catalogs and sales invoices, requires review and authorization in advance prior to the return of product.
Upon the authorization, a credit will be issued for the goods returned within a set amount of days from the shipment, which is generally 90 days.
F-17
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Company disregards the effects of a financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer and
customer payment for the goods or services will be one year or less. The Company has no significant revenues recognized on payments expected to be
received more than one year after the transfer of control of products or services to customers.
Contract Asset and Liability
Revenues recognized from the Company's private label business that are not invoiced to the customers as a result of recognizing revenue over time are
recorded as a contract asset included in the prepaid expenses and other current assets account in the consolidated balance sheet. Upon invoicing to the
customer, the balance is recorded in trade receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheet.
Other operating revenues may include fees received under service agreements. Non-refundable fees received under multiple-period service agreements are
recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies the performance obligations to the other party. A portion of the transaction price allocated to the performance
obligations to be satisfied in the future periods is recognized as contract liability.

At December 31, 2022, the short-term portion of the contract liability of $7.3 million and the long-term portion of $8.8 million is included in current liabilities
and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company is expected to recognize revenue of approximately $7.3 million in 2023, $4.2 million in 2024, $2.7 million in 2025,
$1.1 million in 2026, $0.7 million in 2027, and $0.1 million thereafter.
Shipping and Handling Fees
The Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a separate performance obligation. Amounts billed to
customers for shipping and handling are included as part of the transaction price and recognized as revenue when control of underlying products is transferred
to the customer. The related shipping and freight charges incurred by the Company are included in the cost of goods sold.
Product Warranties
Certain of the Company's medical devices, including monitoring systems and neurosurgical systems, are designed to operate over long periods of time. These
products are sold with warranties which may extend for up to two years from the date of purchase. The warranties are not considered a separate performance
obligation. The Company estimates its product warranties using the expected value method based on historical trends and other known factors. The Company
includes them in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
Taxes Collected from Customers
The Company elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and
concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc. Acquisition
On December 6, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc. ("SIA") for an acquisition purchase price of
$51.5 million. In addition to the purchase price, the acquisition includes two separate contingent considerations payments, which are dependent on 1)
achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones in 2023, 2024, and 2025 (up to $50.0 million in additional payments), as well as 2) the approval by
the FDA of the Premarket Approval (“PMA”) Application for DuraSorb for certain uses by certain timing targets (up to $40.0 million in additional payments).
SIA's core technology, DuraSorb, is a fully resorbable scaffold of a globally accepted polymer, which is cleared for use in hernia repair, abdominal wall, and
other soft tissue reinforcement. DuraSorb sales will be reported within Integra’s Tissue Technologies segment as part of its Wound Reconstruction and Care
franchise.
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value
The SIA Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in
a business combination to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

The estimated fair value of the developed technology was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach, which estimates
value based on the present value of future economic benefits. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations
include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each product including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs, working
capital, and contributory asset charges, the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the
assessment of the asset’s life cycle, and competitive trends impacting the asset and the cash flow stream.
The Company used a discount rate of 18% to arrive at the present value for the acquired intangible assets to reflect the rate of return a market participant
would expect to earn and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used
to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
Goodwill
The Company allocated goodwill related to the SIA Acquisition to the Tissue Technologies segment. Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred
over the net assets recognized and represents the expected revenue and cost synergies of the combined company and assembled workforce. A key factor that
contributes to the recognition of goodwill, and a driver for the Company’s acquisition of SIA, is the attractive growth opportunities presented by the surgical
matrix business in the breast reconstruction market. Goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition is non-deductible for income tax purposes.
Contingent Consideration
The Company determines the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted income approach derived
from revenue estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations. The fair value measurement is based
on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined using the fair value concepts in ASC 820. The
resulting most likely payouts are discounted using an appropriate effective annual interest rate. At each reporting date, the contingent consideration obligation
will be revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value will be reflected as income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Changes
in the fair value of the contingent considerations may result from changes in discount periods and rates and changes in the timing and amount of revenue
estimates. Changes in assumptions utilized in the contingent consideration fair value estimates could result in an increase in the contingent consideration
obligation and a corresponding charge to operating results.
As part of the acquisition, the Company is required to pay to the shareholder of SIA up to $90.0 million for two separate payments, which are dependent on 1)
achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones in 2023, 2024, and 2025 (up to $50.0 million in additional payments), as well as 2) the approval by
the FDA of the PMA for DuraSorb for certain uses by
F-20
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
certain timing targets (up to $40.0 million in additional payments). The Company used iterations of the Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of
the contingent consideration for the revenue-based milestone that considered the possible outcomes of scenarios related to each specific milestone for the
revenue based performance milestone. The Company used probabilities of achieving the conditions to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration
for the PMA approval milestone. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration for the revenue based milestone to be $32.6 million at
the acquisition date and $25.0 million for the PMA approval milestone.
Deferred Tax Liabilities
Deferred tax liabilities result from identifiable intangible assets’ fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book basis over tax basis which is
tax-effected by the statutory tax rates of applicable jurisdictions.
Sale of non-core traditional wound care business
On August 31, 2022, the Company completed its sale of its non-core traditional wound care ("TWC") business to Gentell, LLC ("Gentell") for $28.8 million,
which consists of $27.8 million in cash plus $1.0 million in contingent consideration which may be received upon achieving certain revenue-based
performance milestones two years after the closing date. The proceeds from the sale of the TWC business of $27.8 million is presented in the consolidated
statement of cash flows net of cash transferred of $3.5 million and other transaction fees. The transaction included the sale of the Company's TWC products,
such as sponges, gauze and conforming bandages, and certain advanced wound care dressings, such as supportive, calcium alginate, hydrogel, and foam
dressings.
The divestiture did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial statements. Goodwill was allocated to the
assets and liabilities divested using the relative fair value method of the TWC business to the Company's Tissue Technologies reportable business segment. In
connection with the sale, the Company recognized $0.6 million as a gain from the sale of the business in the consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2022. The transaction is subject to final working capital adjustments.
In addition to the purchase and sale agreement, the Company also entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with Gentell. Under the terms of the
agreement, Gentell received inventory, equipment, and tooling to manufacture certain MediHoney® and TCC-EZ® products on behalf of the Company. On
the close date of this transaction, the Company transferred all inventory associated with these products to Gentell and recognized an asset of $11.1 million, as
a form of a deposit for the inventory transferred, which based on the expected timing of inventory purchases, was primarily included within prepaid expenses
and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. This deposit will be utilized by the Company on future orders placed to Gentell for such products.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a deposit remaining of $8.3 million which is included in prepaid assets and recognized a payable due to Gentell
of $2.7 million, which is included in the consolidated balance sheet within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Sale of Extremity Orthopedics Business
On January 4, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Extremity Orthopedics business to Smith & Nephew USD Limited ("Smith & Nephew"). The
transaction included the sale of the Company's upper and lower Extremity Orthopedics product portfolio, including ankle and shoulder arthroplasty and hand
and wrist product lines. The Company received an aggregate purchase price of $240.0 million from Smith & Nephew and concurrently paid $41.5 million to
the Consortium of Focused Orthopedists, LLC ("CFO") effectively terminating the licensing agreement between Integra and CFO relating to the development
of shoulder arthroplasty products.

The Company also entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") with Smith & Nephew which requires the Company to provide certain services on
behalf of Smith & Nephew for the duration of the period subsequent to the sale of the business as defined in the TSA. The Company recognized a payable due
to Smith & Nephew of $2.3 million as of December 31, 2022, which is included in the consolidated balance sheet within accrued expenses and other current
liabilities. The TSA includes services such as invoicing and cash collections from customers on behalf of Smith & Nephew. As of December 31, 2022, the
Company has concluded the majority of the transition services agreement, pending final payment.
ACell, Inc. Acquisition
On January 20, 2021, the Company acquired ACell, Inc. (the "ACell Acquisition") for an acquisition purchase price of $306.9 million plus contingent
considerations of up to $100 million, that may be payable upon achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones in 2022, 2023 and 2025. The final
working capital adjustments of $1.3 million was finalized and paid as of June 30, 2021. ACell was a privately-held company that offered a portfolio of
regenerative products for complex wound management, including developing and commercializing products based on MatriStem Urinary Bladder Matrix, a
technology platform derived from porcine urinary bladder extracellular matrix.
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value
The ACell Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
a business combination are recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

The estimated fair value of the developed technology acquired was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach, which
estimates value based on the present value of future economic benefits. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset
valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each product including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs,
the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, and
competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream.
The Company used a discount rate of 8.5% to arrive at the present value for the acquired intangible assets to reflect the rate of return a market participant
would expect to earn and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used
to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
Goodwill
The Company allocated goodwill related to the ACell acquisition to the Tissue Technologies segment. Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred
over the net assets recognized and represents the expected synergies of the combined company and assembled workforce. Goodwill recognized as a result of
this acquisition is non-deductible for income tax purposes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Contingent Consideration
As part of the acquisition, the Company is required to make payments to the former shareholders of ACell up to $100 million based on the achievement of
certain revenue-based performance milestones in 2022, 2023, and 2025. Based on revenue performance in 2022, no payment will be made for the first
performance milestone. The Company used iterations of the Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration that considered
the possible outcomes of scenarios related to each specific milestone. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $23.9
million at the acquisition date. The Company recorded $3.7 million and $21.8 million in other liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in
the consolidated balance sheets of the Company. The change in the fair value of the contingent obligation was primarily as a result of changes in the timing
and amount of revenue estimates.
The Company determined the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration obligations using a Monte Carlo simulation, as well as significant
unobservable inputs, reflecting the Company’s assessment of the assumptions market participants would use to value these liabilities. The fair value
measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined using the fair value concepts in
ASC 820. The resultant most likely payouts are discounted using an appropriate effective annual interest rate. At each reporting date, the contingent
consideration obligations is revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value will be reflected as income or expense in our consolidated statement of
operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent considerations may result from changes in discount periods and rates and changes in the timing and
amount of revenue estimates.
Deferred Tax Liabilities
Deferred tax liabilities result from identifiable intangible assets’ fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book basis over tax basis which is
tax-effected by the statutory tax rates of applicable jurisdictions.
5. DEBT
Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement
On February 3, 2020, the Company entered into the sixth amendment and restatement (the "February 2020 Amendment") of its Senior Credit Facility (the
"Senior Credit Facility") with a syndicate of lending banks with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The February 2020 Amendment extended
the maturity date to February 3, 2025. The Company continues to have the aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $2.2 billion available to it
through the following facilities: (i) a $877.5 million Term Loan facility, and (ii) a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility, which includes a $60 million sublimit
for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $60 million sublimit for swingline loans.
The Company’s maximum consolidated total leverage ratio in the financial covenants (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) is the following:
Fiscal Quarter
September 30, 2022 through June 30, 2023
September 30, 2023 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter
Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage
Ratio
4.50 to 1.00
4.00 to 1.00
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to the following:
i.
the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the amendment and restatement) in effect from time to time plus the applicable rate (ranging from 1.00% to
2.25%), or
ii.
the highest of:
1.
2.
3.
the weighted average overnight Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%
the prime lending rate of Bank of America, N.A. or
the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%
The applicable rates are based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness as of such date
less cash that is not subject to any restriction on the use or investment thereof to (b) consolidated EBITDA (as defined by the July 2020 amendment), for the
period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on such date).

INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Company will pay an annual commitment fee (ranging from 0.15% to 0.30%), based on the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio, on the amount
available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility.
The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries, excluding intangible assets. The Senior Credit
Facility is subject to various financial and negative covenants and at December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. In
connection with the February 2020 Amendment, the Company capitalized $4.6 million of financing costs in connection with modification of the Senior Credit
Facility and wrote off $1.2 million of previously capitalized financing costs during the first quarter of 2020. In connection with the July 2020 amendment, the
Company expensed $3.3 million of incremental financing costs in connection with the modification of the Senior Credit Facility during the third quarter of
2020.
There was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2022 under the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility and as of December 31, 2021, there was
$31.3 million, outstanding under the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility at weighted average interest rate of 1.4%. At December 31, 2022 and
2021, there was $771.3 million and $843.8 million, respectively, outstanding, under the Term Loan component of the Senior Credit Facility at weighted
average interest rate of 5.6% and 1.4%, respectively. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was $38.1 million and $45.0 million, respectively, of the Term
Loan component of the Senior Credit Facility was classified as current on the consolidated balance sheets.
The fair value of outstanding borrowings of the Senior Credit Facility's Term Loan components at December 31, 2022 was $800.8 million. This fair values
were determined by using a discounted cash flow model based on current market interest rates available to the Company. These inputs are corroborated by
observable market data for similar liabilities and therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 inputs represent inputs that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and are other than active market observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for
identical assets or liabilities
Letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled $1.6 million. There were no amounts drawn as of December 31, 2022.
Contractual repayments of the Term Loan component of the Senior Credit Facility are due as follows:

Future interest payments on the term loan component of the Senior Credit Facility based on current interest rates are expected to approximate $42.7 million in
2023, $39.1 million in 2024, and $3.6 million in 2025. Interest is calculated on the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility based on LIBOR plus the
spread paid by the Company. As the revolving credit facility and Securitization Facility can be repaid at any time, no interest has been included in the
calculation.
The outstanding balance of the revolving credit component of the Senior Credit Facility is due on February 3, 2025.
Convertible Senior Notes
On February 4, 2020, the Company issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The
2025 Notes will mature on August 15, 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 0.5% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears, unless earlier converted,
repurchased or redeemed in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Notes. The portion of debt proceeds that was classified as equity at the time of the offering
was $104.5 million. The effective interest rate implicit in the liability component was 4.2%. In connection with this offering, the Company capitalized
$13.2 million of financing fees.
The 2025 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, and are convertible into cash and shares of its common stock based on initial conversion
rate, subject to adjustment of 13.5739 shares per $1,000 principal amounts of the 2025 Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of $73.67 per
share). The 2025 Notes convert only in the following circumstances: (1) if the closing price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130% of the
conversion price during the period; (2) if the average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2025 Notes is less than or equal to 98% of the average
conversion value of the 2025 Notes during a period as defined in the indenture; (3) at any time on or after February 20, 2023; or (4) if specified corporate
transactions occur. As of December 31, 2022, none of these conditions existed with respect to the 2025 Notes and as a result the 2025 Notes are classified as
long term.
F-25
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
On December 9, 2020, the Company entered into the First Supplemental Indenture to the original agreement dated as of February 4, 2020 between the
Company and Citibank, N.A., as trustee, governing the Company’s outstanding 2025 Notes. The Company irrevocably elected (1) to eliminate the Company’s
option to choose physical settlement on any conversion of the 2025 Notes that occurs on or after the date of the First Supplemental Indenture and (2) with
respect to any Combination Settlement for a conversion of the 2025 Notes, the Specified Dollar Amount that will be settled in cash per $1,000 principal
amount of the 2025 Notes shall be no lower than $1,000.
Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus
any accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture relating to the Notes). The Company will also be
required to increase the conversion rate for holders who convert their Notes in connection with certain fundamental changes occurring prior to the maturity
date or following delivery by the Company of a notice of redemption.
In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes, the Company entered into call transactions and warrant transactions, primarily with affiliates of the initial
purchasers of the 2025 Notes (the “hedge participants”). The cost of the call transactions was $104.2 million for the 2025 Notes. The Company received
$44.5 million of proceeds from the warrant transactions for the 2025 Notes. The call transactions involved purchasing call options from the hedge
participants, and the warrant transactions involved selling call options to the hedge participants with a higher strike price than the purchased call options. The
initial strike price of the call transactions was $73.67, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the 2025 Notes. The initial strike
price of the warrant transactions was $113.34 for the 2025 Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
At December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the liability was $575.0 million. The fair value of the 2025 Notes at December 31, 2022 was $560.5 million.
Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of the 2025 Notes included recent quoted market prices or dealer quote. The level of the
2025 Notes is considered as Level 1.
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, for both the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized only cash interest related to the
contractual interest coupon on the 2025 Notes of $2.9 million.
Securitization Facility
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization facility (the "Securitization Facility") under which accounts
receivable of certain domestic subsidiaries are sold on a non-recourse basis to a special purpose entity (“SPE”), which is a bankruptcy-remote, consolidated
subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the assets of the SPE are not available to satisfy the obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. From time
to time, the SPE may finance such accounts receivable with a revolving loan facility secured by a pledge of such accounts receivable. The amount of
outstanding borrowings on the Securitization Facility at any one time is limited to $150.0 million. The Securitization Facility Agreement ("Securitization
Agreement") governing the Securitization Facility contains certain covenants and termination events. An occurrence of an event of default or a termination
event under this Securitization Agreement may give rise to the right of its counterparty to terminate this facility. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was
in compliance with the covenants and none of the termination events had occurred.
On May 28, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the "May 2021 Amendment") of the Securitization Facility which extended the maturity date
from December 21, 2021 to May 28, 2024. The May 2021 Amendment does not increase the Company’s total indebtedness.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $104.7 million and $112.5 million, of outstanding borrowings under its Securitization Facility at a
weighted average interest rate of 5.0% and 1.1%, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding borrowing of the Securitization Facility at December 31, 2022
was $104.9 million. These fair values were determined by using a discounted cash flow model based on current market interest rates available to the
Company. These inputs are corroborated by observable market data for similar liabilities and therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 2 inputs represent inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and are other than active market observable inputs that
reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company has designated these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company assesses the effectiveness of these derivative instruments and
has recorded the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge as unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other
comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of tax, until the hedged item affected earnings, at which point any gain or loss was reclassified to earnings. If the
hedged cash flow does not occur, or if it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the remaining amount of any gain or loss on the
related cash flow hedge recorded in AOCI to interest expense at that time.
Foreign Currency Hedging
From time to time, the Company enters into foreign currency hedge contracts intended to protect the U.S. dollar value of certain forecasted foreign currency
denominated transactions. The Company assesses the effectiveness of the contracts that are designated as hedging instruments. The changes in fair value of
foreign currency cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI, net of tax. Those amounts are subsequently reclassified to earnings from AOCI as impacted by the
hedged item when the hedged item affects earnings. If the hedged forecasted transaction does not occur, or if it becomes probable that it will not occur, the
Company will reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings at that time. For contracts not designated as hedging
instruments, the changes in fair value of the contracts are recognized in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operation, along with the offsetting
foreign currency gain or loss on the underlying assets or liabilities.
The success of the Company’s hedging program depends, in part, on forecasts of certain activity denominated in foreign currency. The Company may
experience unanticipated currency exchange gains or losses to the extent that there are differences between forecasted and actual activities during periods of
currency volatility. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates related to any unhedged transactions may affect earnings and cash flows.
Cross-Currency Rate Swaps
On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into cross currency swap agreements to convert a notional amount of $300.0 million equivalent to 291.2 million of
Swiss Francs ("CHF") denominated intercompany loans into U.S. dollars. The CHF- denominated intercompany loans were the result of the purchase of
intellectual property by a subsidiary in Switzerland as part of an acquisition. On September 26, 2022, the Company amended the CHF-denominated
intercompany loan to extend the termination date to September 2023 and as a result, the Company early terminated the cross-currency swap designated as
cash flow hedge of an intercompany loan with aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap
agreement to convert a notional amount of CHF 48.5 million equivalent to $49.1 million of this
F-27
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
amended intercompany loan into U.S. dollars. The loss recorded by the Company upon the settlement of the swap was not material for the period. As of
December 31, 2022, $49.1 million of the $300.0 million notional amount remain outstanding.
On December 21, 2020, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements to convert a notional amount of $471.6 million equivalent to 420.1
million of a CHF-denominated intercompany loan into U.S. dollars. The CHF-denominated intercompany loan was the result of an intra-entity transfer of
certain intellectual property rights to a subsidiary in Switzerland completed during the fourth quarter of 2020. The intercompany loan requires quarterly
payments of CHF 5.8 million plus accrued interest. As a result, the aggregate notional amount of the related cross-currency swaps will decrease by a
corresponding amount.
The objective of these cross-currency swaps is to reduce volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in the foreign currency exchange rate.
Under the terms of these contracts, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, the Company will make interest payments in Swiss Francs and receive
interest in U.S. dollars. Upon the maturity of these contracts, the Company will pay the principal amount of the loans in Swiss Francs and receive U.S. dollars
from the counterparties.

On October 3 , 2022, in accordance with the termination date, the Company settled cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges of an intercompany
loan with aggregate notional amounts of $100 million. Based on the closing exchange rates, the gain upon settlement of these swaps was approximately $1.6
million which was offset by the loss on the settlement of the intercompany loan.
On October 4, 2021 in accordance with the termination date, the Company settled a cross-currency swap designated as a cash flow hedge of an intercompany
loan with an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million. The gain recorded by the Company upon the settlement of the swap was not material for the period.
The cross-currency swaps are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, and changes in the fair values are recorded as unrealized gains or losses
in AOCI.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company manages certain foreign exchange risks through a variety of strategies, including hedging. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk
from its international operations through foreign currency purchases, net investments in foreign subsidiaries, and foreign currency assets and liabilities created
in the normal course of business. On October 1, 2018 ,December 16, 2020 and May 26, 2022, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements
designated as net investment hedges to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on foreign subsidiaries.

On May 26, 2022, the Company early settled cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedge with an aggregate notional amount of $250 million
equivalent to 222.3 million CHF. The original settlement date was December 16, 2027. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a gain of $4.9
million in AOCI. On May 26, 2022, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements designated as net investment hedge to replace these swaps
with a notional amount of $300 million equivalent to 288 million CHF.
On September 30, 2021, in accordance with the termination date, the Company settled cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedge with an
aggregate notional amount of $52 million equivalent to 44.9 million Euros. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a gain of $0.1 million in
AOCI.
The cross-currency swaps were carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair values were recorded as unrealized gains or
losses in AOCI.
Counterparty Credit Risk
The Company manages its concentration of counterparty credit risk on its derivative instruments by limiting acceptable counterparties to a group of major
financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, and by actively monitoring their credit ratings and outstanding positions on an ongoing basis.
Therefore, the Company considers the credit risk of the counterparties to be low. Furthermore, none of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to
collateral or other security arrangements, and none contain provisions that depend upon the Company’s credit ratings from any credit rating agency.
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
The Company has classified all of its derivative instruments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because observable inputs are available for substantially
the full term of the derivative instruments. The fair values of the interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps were developed using a market approach based
on publicly available market yield curves and the terms of the swap. The Company performs ongoing assessments of counterparty credit risk.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a gain of $11.1 million and gain of $23.8 million, respectively, in other income, net
related to change in fair value related to the foreign currency rate translation of the cross-currency swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, to offset the gains
or losses recognized on the intercompany loans.
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded gains of $8.4 million and $9.1 million, respectively, in other income, net included in
the consolidated statements of operations related to the interest rate differential of the cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges.
The estimated gain that is expected to be reclassified to other income, net from AOCI as of December 31, 2022, for the cross-currency swaps designated as
cash flow hedges within the next twelve months is $4.5 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company does not expect any gains or losses will be
reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of these cash flow hedges because the original forecasted transaction will not occur.
The estimated gain that is expected to be reclassified to interest income from AOCI as of December 31, 2022 for the cross-currency swaps designated as net
investment hedges, within the next twelve months is $11.7 million.
Derivative Instruments not designated hedges:
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts, with a notional amount of $4.2 million, to mitigate the
foreign exchange risk related to certain intercompany loans denominated in Canadian Dollar ("CAD"). These contracts were settled in third quarter of 2022.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a foreign currency swap, with a notional amount of $7.3 million, to mitigate the risk from
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with an intercompany loan denominated in JPY. In a foreign currency swap transaction, the
Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between one currency and another currency at a fixed exchange rate,
generally set at inception, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and
termination of the currency swap by each party. The Company subsequently paid down a portion of this swap, bringing the notional amount down to $6.4
million.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test.
The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors including reporting unit specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic
conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The
Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment for its three reporting units and perform a quantitative test. The assumptions used in evaluating
goodwill for impairment are subject to change and are tracked against historical results by management.
The quantitative test estimates the fair value of the three reporting units using a discounted cash flow model, which incorporates significant estimates and
assumptions made by management which, by their nature, are characterized by uncertainty. Inputs used to fair value the Company's reporting units are
considered inputs of the fair value hierarchy. For Level 3 measurements, significant increases or decreases in long-term growth rates or discount rates in
isolation or in combination could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The key assumptions impacting the valuation included the
following:
•
•
•
The reporting unit's financial projections, which are based on management's assessment of regional and macroeconomic variables, industry trends
and market opportunities, and the Company's strategic objectives and future growth plans.
The projected terminal value for the reporting unit, which represents the present value of projected cash flows beyond the last period in the
discounted cash flow analysis. The terminal value reflects the Company's assumptions related to long-term growth rates and profitability, which are
based on several factors, including local and macroeconomic variables, market opportunities, and future growth plans.
The discount rate used to measure the present value of the projected future cash flows is set using a weighted-average cost of capital method that
considers market and industry data as well as the Company's specific risk factors that are likely to be considered by a market participant. The
weighted-average cost of capital is the Company's estimate of the overall after-tax rate of return required by equity and debt holders of a business
enterprise.
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company elected to perform a qualitative analysis for its three reporting units. The Company determined, after
performing the qualitative analysis, that there was no evidence that it is more likely than not that the fair value was less that the carrying amounts, therefore, it
was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.

Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives
The Company tests intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the third quarter in accordance with ASC Topic 350. Additionally, the
Company may perform interim tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a indefinite lived intangible
asset below its carrying amount. The Company tests for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative
evaluation is an assessment of factors, including specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether
it is more likely than not that the fair values of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative
evaluation and perform a quantitative test.
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company elected to perform a qualitative analysis for its intangible asset with indefinite lives. The Company determined,
after performing the qualitative analysis, that there was no evidence that it is more likely than not that the fair value was less that the carrying amounts,
therefore, it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.
Product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360 when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset or
asset group to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows. In the event the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the
carrying value is considered not recoverable and impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair
value, calculated using discounted future cash flows. The computed impairment loss is recognized in the period that the impairment occurs.
Amortization expense (including amounts reported in cost of product revenues) for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $78.3 million,
$83.3 million and $74.5 million, respectively.

INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Annual amortization expense is expected to approximate $82.3 million in 2023, $81.7 million in 2024, $81.7 million in 2025, $81.5 million in 2026, $79.6
million in 2027 and $551.6 million thereafter. Amortization of product technology based intangible assets totaled $64.4 million, $66.5 million and $46.7
million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is presented by the Company within cost of goods sold.
8. TREASURY STOCK
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 6.8 million and 4.9 million shares of treasury stock outstanding with a cost of $362.9 million and $234.4
million, respectively, at a weighted average cost per share of $53.18 and $47.86, respectively.
On January 26, 2023, the Company entered into a $150 million accelerated share repurchase ("2023 ASR") and received 2.1 million shares of the Company
common stock at inception of the 2023 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total shares of under the 2023 SAR. The remaining
repurchase transactions are expected to be completed in the first half of 2023.
On April 26 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $225 million of the Company’s common stock. The program allows the
Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. The repurchase authorization expires in December 2024. This stock repurchase
authorization replaces the previous $225 million stock repurchase authorization, of which $100 million remained authorized at the time of its replacement,
and which was otherwise set to expire on December 31, 2022. Purchases may be affected through one or more open market transactions, privately negotiated
transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing.
On January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a $125 million accelerated share repurchase ("2022 ASR") and received 1.48 million shares of Company
common stock at inception of the 2022 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total shares under the 2022 ASR. In March 24, 2022, the
early exercise provision was exercised by the 2022 ASR counterparty. Upon settlement on March 24, 2022, the Company received an additional 0.46 million
shares determined using the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the term of the 2022 ASR.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock as part of the share repurchase authorization.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act implements a new excise tax of 1% on the net share
repurchases made by the company effective for share repurchases performed January 1, 2023, or after.

The purpose of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) is to provide eligible employees of the Company with the opportunity to acquire shares of
common stock at periodic intervals by means of accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP is a non-compensatory plan. Under the ESPP, a total of 3.0
million shares of common stock are reserved for issuance. These shares will be made available either from the Company’s authorized but unissued shares of
common stock or from shares of common stock reacquired by the Company as treasury stock. At December 31, 2022, 2.0 million shares remain available for
purchase under the ESPP. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company issued 20,780 shares, 16,948 shares and 18,284 shares
under the ESPP for $1.1 million, $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

EQUITY AWARD PLANS
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had stock options, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards, contract stock awards and restricted stock unit
awards outstanding under the Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation Fifth Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”). The
2000 and 2001 Equity Incentive Plans were terminated as of February 19, 2021, and no further awards may be issued under the plans.
In May 2010 and May 2017, the stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the 2003 Plan to increase by 3.5 million and 1.7 million, respectively,
the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2003 Plan. The Company has reserved 4.0 million shares under each of the 2000 Plan and
the 2001 Plan, and 14.7 million shares under the 2003 Plan. The Plans permit the Company to grant incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, contract stock, performance stock, or dividend equivalent rights to designated directors, officers, employees and
associates of the Company.
Stock options issued under the 2003 Plan became exercisable over specified periods, generally within four years from the date of grant for officers and
employees, and within one year from the date of the grant for members of the Board of Directors. The awards generally expire eight years from the grant date
for employees and from six to ten for directors and certain executive officers, except in certain instances that result in accelerated vesting due to death,
disability, retirement age or change in control provisions within their grant agreements. Restricted stock issued under the 2003 Plan vests ratably over
specified periods, generally three years after the date of grant. The vesting of performance stock issued under the 2003 Plan is subject to service and
performance conditions.
Stock Options
The Company values stock option grants using the binomial distribution model. Management believes that the binomial distribution model is preferable to the
Black-Scholes model because it is a more flexible model that gives consideration to the impact of non-transferability and vesting provisions in valuing
employee stock options.
In determining the value of stock options granted, the Company considered that it has never paid cash dividends and does not currently intend to pay cash
dividends, and thus has assumed a 0% dividend yield. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected
life of stock options is estimated based on historical data on exercise of stock options, post-vesting forfeitures and other factors to estimate the expected term
of the stock options granted. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant for instruments with a
remaining term similar to the expected life of the options. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the calculation of fair value:
Dividend yield
Expected volatility
Risk free interest rate
Expected life of option from grant date
Weighted average grant date fair value of options granted

The following weighted average assumptions were used to develop net periodic pension benefit costs and the actuarial present values of projected pension
benefit obligations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively:
Discount rate
Expected return on plan assets
Rate of compensation increase
Interest crediting rate for cash balance plans

The Company’s discount rates are determined by considering current yield curves representing high quality, long-term fixed income instruments. The
resulting discount rates are consistent with the duration of plan liabilities. In 2022 and 2021, the discount rates were prescribed as the current yield on
corporate bonds with an average rating of AA or AAA of equivalent currency and term to the liabilities. The expected returns on plan assets represent the
average rate of return expected to be earned on plan assets over the period the benefits included in the benefit obligation are to be paid. In developing the
expected rates of return, the Company considers returns of historical market data as well as actual returns on the plan assets. Using this reference information,
the long-term return expectations for each asset category are developed according to the allocation among those investment categories.
The assessment is determined using projections from external financial sources, long-term historical averages, actual returns by asset class and the various
asset class allocations by market.

The unfunded benefit obligations are included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a net gain of $7.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively, recognized within
accumulated other comprehensive loss that has not been recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. The gain recognized during the period ended
December 31, 2021, is primarily attributed to a change in the discount rate used to estimate the projected benefit obligation for defined benefit plans which
cover certain employees in Switzerland. The combined accumulated benefit obligations for the defined benefit plans was $46.4 million and $60.3 million as
of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Unrecognized gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining future service for each plan. For plans with no active employees, they are amortized
over the average life expectancy. The amortization of gains and losses is determined by using a 10% corridor of the greater of the market value of assets or the
accumulated benefit obligation. Total unamortized gains and losses in excess of the corridor are amortized over the average remaining future service.
Prior service costs/benefits for the pension plans are amortized over the average remaining future service of plan participants at the time of the plan
amendment.

INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The net plan assets of the pension plans are invested in common trusts. Common trusts are classified as Level 2 in fair value hierarchy. The fair value of
common trusts is valued at net asset value based on the fair values of the underlying investments of the trusts as determined by the sponsor of the trusts. The
investment strategy of the Company's defined benefit plans is both to meet the liabilities of the plans as they fall due and to maximize the return on invested
assets within appropriate risk profile.
The benefit plans in France and Germany had no assets at December 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, no plan assets are expected to be returned to the Company in the next twelve months.

As of December 31, 2022, contributions expected to be paid to the plan in 2022 is $2.6 million.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
The Company also has various defined contribution savings plans that cover substantially all employees in the United States, Belgium, Canada, France, Japan,
Netherlands, the U.K. and Puerto Rico. The Company matches a certain percentage of each employee’s contributions as per the provisions of the plans. Total
contributions by the Company to the plans were $9.8 million, $8.8 million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company maintains a Deferred Compensation Plan in which certain employees of the Company may defer the payment and taxation of up to 75% of
their base salary and up to 100% of bonus amounts and other eligible cash compensation.
This deferred compensation is invested in funds offered under this plan and is valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. Assets of the
Company's deferred compensation plan are included in Other current assets and recorded at fair value based on their quoted market prices. The fair value of
these assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $4.7 million and $3.8 million. Offsetting liabilities relating to the deferred compensation plan are included in
Other liabilities.
11. LEASES AND RELATED PARTY LEASES
The Company leases administrative, manufacturing, research and distribution facilities and vehicles through operating lease agreements. The Company has no
finance leases as of December 31, 2022. Many of the Company's leases include both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components
(e.g., common-area or other maintenance costs). For vehicles, the Company has elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components.
Most facility leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at the Company's sole discretion, therefore, the
majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in the ROU assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The
Company regularly evaluates renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal period is included in the lease term.
As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information
available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.
Total operating lease expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $22.6 million and $20.3 million, respectively, which includes $0.3
million, in related party operating lease expense.

The Company leases its manufacturing facility in Plainsboro, New Jersey, from a general partnership that is 50% owned by a corporation whose stockholders
are trusts, whose beneficiaries include family members of the Company’s principal stockholder and former director. The term of the current lease agreement is
through October 31, 2029 at an annual rate of approximately $0.3 million per year. The current lease agreement also provides (i) a 5-year renewal option for
the Company to extend the lease from November 1, 2029 through October 31, 2034 at the fair market rental rate of the premises, and (ii) another 5-year
renewal option to extend the lease from November 1, 2034 through October 31, 2039 at the fair market rental rate of the premises.

Our effective tax rate was 15.6% and 21.2% of income before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In
2022, the Company’s lower effective tax rate was driven by a $5.1 million income tax benefit related to stock compensation and a $2.4 million income tax
benefit related to the filing of amended federal and state returns for prior years. In 2021, the Company's higher effective tax rate was driven in part by an
$8.5 million income tax expense for nondeductible goodwill related to the sale of the Extremity Orthopedics business, offset by a $3.1 million income tax
benefit related to excess tax benefits from stock compensation. In 2020, the Company’s lower worldwide effective tax rate was primarily driven by an
$59.2 million income tax benefit on an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property, substantially completed during the fourth quarter in 2020.
Excluding this transaction, the effective worldwide tax rate for 2020 was 20.2%.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In December 2020, the Company completed an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights to one of its subsidiaries in Switzerland. While the
transfer did not result in a taxable gain, the Company’s Swiss subsidiary received a step-up in tax basis based on the fair value of the transferred intellectual
property rights. The Company determined the fair value using a discounted cash flow model based on expectations of revenue growth rates, royalty rates,
discount rates, and useful lives of the intellectual property. The Company recorded a $59.2 million deferred tax benefit in Switzerland related to the
amortizable tax basis in the transferred intellectual property.
During 2022, the Company’s foreign operations generated a $0.4 million increase in income tax expense when compared to the same period in 2021, because
of geographic and business mix of taxable earnings and losses, among other factors. The 2022 foreign effective tax rate is 15.9%, compared to 15.2% in 2021.
The Company’s foreign tax rate is primarily based upon statutory rates.
During 2021, the Company’s foreign operations generated a $63.6 million increase in income tax expense when compared to the same period in 2020,
because of the intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property in 2020, geographic and business mix of taxable earnings and losses, among other factors.
The 2021 foreign effective tax rate is 15.2%, compared to (57.1)% in 2020. The Company’s foreign tax rate is primarily based upon statutory rates and is also
impacted by the intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property as described above for 2020.
Changes to income tax laws and regulations, in any of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, could impact the effective tax rate. Various
governments, both U.S. and non-U.S., are increasingly focused on tax reform and revenue-raising legislation. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction
Act of 2022 (the “Act”) was signed into law, the company does not expect the law to have a material impact on the company’s effective tax rate. Further,
legislation in foreign jurisdictions may be enacted, in response to the base erosion and profit-sharing (BEPS) project begun by the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD). The OECD recently finalized major reform of the international tax system with respect to implementing a global
minimum tax rate. Such changes in U.S. and Non-U.S. jurisdictions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s effective tax rate.

The 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act contained a provision which requires, for tax purposes, the capitalization and amortization of research and development
expenses; effective for years beginning after December 31, 2021. The Company’s deferred tax assets increased by $20.2 million within the table above,
related to the 2017 Tax Act.
At December 31, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $79.5 million for federal income tax purposes, $75.5 million for foreign income
tax purposes and $37.9 million for state income tax purposes to offset future taxable income. The majority of the federal net operating loss carryforwards
expire through 2037, while $18.6 million have an indefinite carry forward period. For foreign net operating loss carryforwards, $59.1 million will expire
through 2028, while the remaining $16.4 million have an indefinite carry forward period. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire through 2036.
The valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets for certain items that will be deductible for income tax purposes under very limited circumstances and
for which the Company believes it will not satisfy the more likely than not threshold for realization of the associated tax benefit. In the event that the
Company determines that it would be able to realize more or less than the recorded amount of net deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset
valuation allowance would be recorded in the period such a determination is made.
The valuation allowance at December 31, 2022 and 2021 primarily remained unchanged from respective prior periods; decreasing by an immaterial amount in
both periods.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not provided deferred income taxes on unrepatriated earnings from foreign subsidiaries as they are deemed to be
indefinitely reinvested unless there is a manner under which to remit the earnings with no material tax cost. Material taxes would primarily be attributable to
foreign withholding taxes and local income taxes when such earnings are distributed. The Company will repatriate foreign earnings when there is no need for
reinvestment overseas and no material tax cost to bring the earnings back to the United States. Reinvestment considerations would include future acquisitions,
transactions, and capital expenditure plans.

royalties on sales of certain products that it sells. The royalty payments that the Company made under these agreements were not significant for any of the
periods presented.
The Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of the Company's business, including claims by current or former
employees, distributors and competitors and with respect to its products and product liability claims, lawsuits and proceedings, some of which have been
settled by the Company. In the opinion of management, such claims are either adequately covered by insurance or otherwise indemnified, or are not expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. However, it is possible that the
F-45

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows in a particular period could be materially affected by these contingencies.
The Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is deemed probable that a loss has been incurred and that loss is estimable. The amounts accrued are
based on the full amount of the estimated loss before considering insurance proceeds and do not include an estimate for legal fees expected to be incurred in
connection with the loss contingency. The Company consistently accrues legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies as those fees
are incurred by outside counsel as a period cost.
Contingent Consideration
The Company determined the fair value of contingent consideration during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 to reflect the change
in estimate, additions, payments, transfers and the time value of money during the period.
A reconciliation of the opening balances to the closing balances of these Level 3 measurements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows

Derma Sciences
The Company assumed contingent consideration incurred by Derma Sciences, Inc. ("Derma Sciences") related to its acquisitions of BioD and the intellectual
property related to Medihoney products. The Company accounted for the contingent liabilities by recording their fair value on the date of the acquisition
based on a probability weighted income approach. The Company has already paid $33.3 million related to the aforementioned contingent liabilities. One
contingent milestone remains which relates to net sales of Medihoney™ products exceeding certain amounts defined in the agreement between the Company
and Derma Sciences. The potential maximum undiscounted payment amounts to $3.0 million. The estimated fair value as of December 31, 2022 and 2021
was $0.2 million.

Arkis BioSciences, Inc.
As part of the acquisition of Arkis BioSciences, Inc. ("Arkis"), the Company is required to pay the former shareholders of Arkis up to $25.5 million based on
the timing of certain development milestones of $10 million and commercial sales milestones of $15.5 million, respectively. The Company used a probability
weighted income approach to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration that considered the possible outcomes of scenarios related to each
specified milestone. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $13.1 million at the acquisition date. The estimated the fair
value as of December 31, 2022 was $12.9 million. The Company recorded $2.8 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $10.1 million in
other liabilities at December 31, 2022 in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company.
16. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company internally manages two global reportable segments and reports the results of its businesses to its chief operating decision maker.
The two reportable segments and their activities are described below.
•
•
The Codman Specialty Surgical segment includes (i) the Neurosurgery business, which sells a full line of products for neurosurgery and neuro
critical care such as tissue ablation equipment, dural repair products, cerebral spinal fluid management devices, intracranial monitoring equipment,
and cranial stabilization equipment and (ii) the Instruments business, which sells more than 40,000 instrument patterns and surgical and lighting
products to hospitals, surgery centers, dental, podiatry, and veterinary offices.
The Tissue Technologies segment includes such offerings as skin and wound repair, plastics & surgical reconstruction products, bone grafts, and
nerve and tendon repair products.
The Corporate and other category includes (i) various executive, finance, human resource, information systems and legal functions, (ii) brand management,
and (iii) share-based compensation costs.
The operating results of the various reportable segments as presented are not comparable to one another because (i) certain operating segments are more
dependent than others on corporate functions for unallocated general and administrative and/or operational manufacturing functions, and (ii) the Company
does not allocate certain manufacturing costs and general and administrative costs to the operating segment results. Net sales and profit by reportable segment
for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

meeting.
Section 2.03 Notice of Business to be Brought Before a Meeting.
(a) At an annual meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly
brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) brought before the meeting by
the Corporation and specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) brought before the
meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder

provided for in this Section 2.03 and at the time of the meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) has complied with this
Section 2.03 as to such business. Except for proposals properly made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange

(iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders.
Stockholders shall not be permitted to propose business to be brought before a special meeting of the stockholders, and the only

nominations except as expressly provided in Sections 2.03 or 2.10.
(b) Without qualification, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the
stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the
Corporation and (ii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.03.
To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the
preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or
more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and
received, not later than the ninetieth (90 ) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10 ) day following the day on
which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”).

Timely Notice as described above.

series of the Corporation, or which derivative, swap or other transactions provide, directly or indirectly, the opportunity to profit
from any increase in the price or value of shares of any class or series of the Corporation (“Synthetic Equity Interests”), which
Synthetic Equity Interests shall be disclosed without regard to whether (x) the derivative, swap or other transactions convey any
voting rights in such shares to such Proposing Person, (y) the derivative, swap or other transactions are required to be, or are
capable of being, settled through delivery of such shares or (z) such Proposing Person may have entered into other transactions that

from any decrease in the price or value of the shares of any class or series of the Corporation (“Short Interests”), (D) any rights to
dividends or other distributions on the shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, directly or indirectly, owned
beneficially by such Proposing Person or any of their affiliates or associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated
under the Exchange Act) that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (E) any performance related
fees (other than an asset based fee) that such Proposing Person is entitled to receive based on any increase or decrease in the price

qualifications and background of such Responsible Person or (2) if such Proposing Person is a natural person, the qualifications and
background of such natural person, (G) any equity interests or any Synthetic Equity Interests in any principal competitor of the
Corporation beneficially owned by such Proposing Person or any of their affiliates or associates, (H) any direct or indirect interest

representative of such stockholder) does not appear to present such business or proposed nominees, as applicable, at such meeting,
the Corporation need not present such business or proposed nominees for a vote at such meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in
respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation, (ii) whether or not the stockholder giving the notice and/or the
other Proposing Person(s), if any, (a) will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a business
proposal, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation required under applicable
law to approve the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations made pursuant to Section 2.10, at least 67 percent of the
voting power of all of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on the election of directors or (b) otherwise
solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination, as applicable, (iii) providing a representation
as to whether or not such Proposing Person intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s
director nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and (iv) that the stockholder will provide
any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing
required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting
pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act.
For purposes of this Section 2.03, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of
business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose
behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made and (iii) any affiliate or associate (each
within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act for purposes of these Bylaws) of such stockholder or beneficial owner.
(d) A stockholder providing notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting shall further
update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant
to this Section 2.03 shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days
prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed
and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the
record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than
eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not
practicable, on the first practicable date prior to
4
Exhibit 3.3
Effective as of February 21, 2023
the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed), in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of
ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation
to update as set forth in this Section 2.03(d) shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice
provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder, or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has
previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or
adding nominees, matters, business and/or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Proposing Person no longer plans to solicit proxies in accordance with its representation
pursuant to Article II, Section 2.03(c)(v), such Proposing Person shall inform the Corporation of this change by delivering a written
notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation no later than two (2) business days after making the
determination not to proceed with a solicitation of proxies. A Proposing Person shall also update its notice so that the information
required by Article II, Section 2.03(c) is current through the date of the meeting or any adjournment, postponement, or rescheduling
thereof, and such update shall be delivered in writing to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation no later
than two (2) business days after the occurrence of any material change to the information previously disclosed pursuant to Article
II, Section 2.03(c).
(e) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting
except in accordance with this Section 2.03. The Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof shall have the power to
determine whether any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the provisions of these
Bylaws. If neither the Board of Directors nor such designated committee makes a determination as to whether any stockholder
proposal was made in accordance with these Bylaws, the presiding officer of the Annual Meeting shall have the power and duty to
determine whether the stockholder proposal was made in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws. If the Board of Directors
or a designated committee thereof or the presiding officer of the meeting, as applicable, determines that any stockholder proposal
was not made in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws, such proposal shall be disregarded and shall not be presented for
action at the annual meeting.
(f) This Section 2.03 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be brought before an annual
meeting of stockholders other than any proposal made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. In addition to the
requirements of this Section 2.03 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each Proposing
Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business. If a stockholder fails
to comply with any applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, such stockholder’s proposed business shall be deemed to have
not been made in compliance with these Bylaws and shall be disregarded. Nothing in this Section 2.03 shall be deemed to affect the
rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the
Exchange Act.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03, if the proposing stockholder (or a qualified
representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the Annual Meeting to present any business, such business shall be
disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this
Section 2.03, to be considered a qualified representative of the proposing stockholder, a person must be authorized by a written
instrument executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as
proxy at the meeting of stockholders, and such person must produce such written instrument or electronic transmission, or a reliable
reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, to the presiding officer at the meeting of stockholders.
5
Exhibit 3.3
Effective as of February 21, 2023
(h) Except as otherwise required by law, nothing in this Section 2.03 shall obligate the Corporation or the Board of
Directors to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder communication distributed on behalf of the Corporation or the
Board of Directors information with respect to any nominee for director or any other matter of business submitted by a stockholder.
(i) For purposes of these Bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a
national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Section 2.04 Notice of Meetings. Notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given which shall state the place, if any
(or the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person),
date and hour of the meeting and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless
otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, such notice shall be given to each stockholder entitled to
vote at such meeting not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. Notice may be given personally,
by mail or by electronic transmission in accordance with Section 232 of the DGCL. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed given
when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to each stockholder at such stockholder’s address appearing on
the books of the Corporation or given by the stockholder for such purpose. Notice by electronic transmission shall be deemed given
as provided in Section 232 of the DGCL. An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any stockholders’
meeting, executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent of the Corporation giving the notice, shall be prima
facie evidence of the giving of such notice or report. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to all stockholders of record who
share an address if notice is given in accordance with the “householding” rules set forth in Rule 14a-3(e) under the Exchange Act
and Section 233 of the DGCL. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any (including an adjournment taken to
address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication), notice need not be given of the

Section 2.06 Inspector of Election. Prior to any meeting of stockholders, the board of directors, the chairman of the board,
the president or the secretary shall appoint an inspector of election. Such inspectors for election shall have the powers and duties set
forth in Section 231 of the DGCL and may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without
limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives, to act at such meeting and make a written report thereof. Each
inspector of election, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector
with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors of election shall have the duties prescribed by
law.
Section 2.07 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise
prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the
Board of Directors. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special
meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
Section 2.08 Quorum; Voting.
(a) The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or
by remote communication, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction
of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be
present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented
by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until
a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. At any meeting of stockholders
(at which a quorum is present to organize the meeting), all matters, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, pursuant to any
regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws (including the
election of directors), shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of shares present in person or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder
shall at every meeting of stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting
power held by such stockholder, but no shares shall be voted pursuant to a proxy more than three years after the date of the proxy
unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The Board of Directors may by resolution establish a method for stockholders to cast
their vote by a secure electronic method. In the event the Corporation receives proxies for disqualified or withdrawn nominees for
the Board of Directors, such votes for such disqualified or withdrawn nominees in the proxies will be treated as abstentions.
(b) Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color
other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.
Section 2.09 Action Without a Meeting.
(a) Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at
any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent
or consents in writing setting forth the action so taken, (i) shall be signed by the holders of record on the record date (established as
provided below) of outstanding stock of the Corporation having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be
necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting
7
Exhibit 3.3
Effective as of February 21, 2023
at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and (ii) shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its
registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of
the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a Corporation’s registered office shall be
by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each
stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless,
within sixty days after the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section 2.09 to the Corporation, written
consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take action are delivered in the manner required by this Section to the
Corporation. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be
given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.
(b) Without qualification, any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take any action
by written consent shall first request in writing that the Board of Directors fix a record date for the purpose of determining the
stockholders entitled to take such action, which request shall be in proper form and delivered to, or mailed and received by, the
Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. Within ten (10) days after receipt of a request in
proper form and otherwise in compliance with this Section 2.09(b) from any such stockholder, the Board of Directors may adopt a
resolution fixing a record date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to take such action, which date shall not
precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be
more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no
resolution fixing a record date has been adopted by the Board of Directors within such ten (10) day period after the date on which
such a request is received, (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to such action, when no prior action
of the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a valid signed written consent setting forth
the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in the manner described in this Section 2.09, and (ii) the
record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to such action, when prior action by the Board of Directors is required
by applicable law, shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such
prior action.
(c) In the event of the delivery, in the manner provided by this Section 2.09 and applicable law, to the Corporation
of written consent or consents to take corporate action and/or any related revocation or revocations, the Corporation shall engage
independent inspectors of elections for the purpose of performing promptly a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and
revocations. For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no action by written consent and without a
meeting shall be effective until such inspectors have completed their review, determined that the requisite number of valid and
unrevoked consents delivered to the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2.09 and applicable law have been obtained to
authorize or take the action specified in the consents, and certified such determination for entry in the records of the Corporation
kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of stockholders. Nothing contained in this Section 2.09 shall in any
way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any consent or
revocation thereof, whether before or after such certification by the independent inspectors, or to take any other action (including,
without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive
relief in such litigation).
(d) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no action may be taken by the stockholders by
written consent except in accordance with this Section 2.09. If
8
Exhibit 3.3
Effective as of February 21, 2023
the Board of Directors shall determine that any request to fix a record date or to take stockholder action by written consent was not
properly made in accordance with this Section 2.09, or the stockholder or stockholders seeking to take such action do not otherwise
comply with this Section 2.09, then the Board of Directors shall not be required to fix a record date and any such purported action
by written consent shall be null and void to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In addition to the requirements of this
Section 2.09 with respect to stockholders seeking to take an action by written consent, each soliciting person shall comply with all
requirements of applicable law, including all requirements of the Exchange Act, with respect to such action.

Exhibit 3.3
Effective as of February 21, 2023

understanding of the independence or lack of independence of such proposed nominee.
For purposes of this Section 2.10, the term “Nominating Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of the
nomination proposed to be made at the meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the
notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting is made and (iii) any affiliate or associate of such stockholder or
beneficial owner.
(d) A stockholder providing notice of any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting shall further update and
supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this
Section 2.10 shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to
the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and
received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record

practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the
update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement
thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update as set forth in this Section 2.10(d) shall not limit the Corporation’s
rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder, or enable
or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination or to
submit any new nominees, including by changing or adding nominees proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Nominating Person no longer plans to solicit proxies in accordance with its representation
pursuant to Article II, Section 2.03(c)(v), such Nominating Person shall inform the Corporation of this change by delivering a
written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation no later than two (2) business days after making
the determination not to proceed with a solicitation of proxies. A Nominating Person shall also update its notice so that the

rescheduling thereof, and such update shall be delivered in writing to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation no later than two (2) business days after the occurrence of any material change to the information previously disclosed
pursuant to Article II, Section 2.10(c).
(e) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no person shall be eligible for election as a director
of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with this Section 2.10. The Board of Directors or a designated committee
thereof shall have the power to determine whether a nomination proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance
with the provisions of these Bylaws. If neither the Board of Directors nor such designated committee makes a determination as to
whether any stockholder nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws, the presiding officer of the
meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether the stockholder nomination was made in accordance with the
provisions of these Bylaws. If the Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof or the presiding officer, as applicable,
determines that any stockholder nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws, such nomination
shall be disregarded and shall not be presented for action at the meeting.
11
Exhibit 3.3
Effective as of February 21, 2023
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10, if the Nominating Person (or a qualified
representative of the Nominating Person) does not appear at the meeting to present a nomination, such nomination shall be
disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this
Section 2.10, to be considered a qualified representative of the Nominating Person, a person must be authorized by a written
instrument executed by such Nominating Person or an electronic transmission delivered by such Nominating Person to act for such
Nominating Person as proxy at the meeting of stockholders, and such person must produce such written instrument or electronic
transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, to the presiding officer at the meeting
of stockholders.
(g) Except as otherwise required by law, including, but not limited to, Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, nothing in
this Section 2.10 shall obligate the Corporation or the Board of Directors to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder
communication distributed on behalf of the Corporation or the Board of Directors information with respect to any nominee for
director submitted by a stockholder.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bylaw, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, but not limited to, Rule 14a-19 of the
Exchange Act, with respect to the matters set forth in this Bylaw. If a stockholder fails to comply with any applicable requirements
of the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to, Rule 14a-19 promulgated thereunder, such stockholder’s proposed nomination
shall be deemed to have not been made in compliance with this Bylaw and shall be disregarded.
(i) Further notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these Bylaws, unless otherwise required by law, (i) no
Nominating Person shall solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees unless such
Nominating Person has complied with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act in connection with the solicitation of such
proxies, including the provision to the Corporation of notices required thereunder with timely notice, and (ii) if any Nominating
Person (A) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (B) subsequently fails to comply with
the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act, including the provision to the
Corporation of notices required thereunder with timely notice, and (C) no other Nominating Person has provided notice pursuant to,
and in compliance with, Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act that it intends to solicit proxies in support of the election of such
proposed nominee in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, then such proposed nominee shall be disqualified
from nomination, the Corporation shall disregard the nomination of such proposed nominee and no vote on the election of such
proposed nominee shall occur. Upon request by the Corporation, if any Nominating Person provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-
19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, such Nominating Person shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five (5) business
days prior to the applicable meeting date, reasonable evidence that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated
under the Exchange Act.
(j) The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting of stockholders (or in
the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for
election at the annual meeting of stockholders on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be
elected at such annual meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.11 Chairman and Secretary at Meetings. At any meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, or in his or her absence, the President, or if neither such person is available, then a person designated by the Board of
Directors, shall preside at and act as

Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules, regulations, and procedures as adopted by the Board of Directors, the
chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to convene and to adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules,
regulations and procedures, and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman of the meeting, are appropriate for the

procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present at the meeting; (c) limitations on attendance at or
participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies, or such

The chairman of the meeting, in addition to making any other determinations provided for elsewhere in these bylaws or that
may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business or a
nomination was not properly brought before the meeting, and if such chairman should so determine, such chairman shall so declare
to the meeting and shall not be required to transact or consider any such business or nomination. Unless and to the extent
determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in
accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure. The chairman of the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting the date
and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting.
ARTICLE 3
DIRECTORS
Section 3.01 Number and Term of Office. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be not less than three nor more
than thirteen, as designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. The directors shall be elected at the annual
meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 3.02 hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, each director
shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director, provided that if the number of nominees
exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast. For purposes
of this Section 3.01, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of
votes cast “against” that director. If a director is not elected, the director shall offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board of
Directors. The Nominating
13
Exhibit 3.3
Effective as of February 21, 2023
and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on whether to accept or reject the
resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the Committee’s recommendation and
publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results.
The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the Board of Directors’ decision. Directors shall hold
office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified or until their
earlier death, resignation or removal. Directors need not be stockholders. If, for any cause, the Board of Directors shall not have
been elected at an annual meeting of stockholders, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient at a special meeting of the
stockholders called for that purpose in the manner provided in these Bylaws.
Section 3.02 Vacancies. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number
of directors may only be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining
director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and
shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner
provided by statute.
Section 3.03 Resignations. Any director may resign at any time by giving written notice (or notice by electronic
transmission) to the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President, or the Secretary. Such resignation shall take
effect at the time of receipt thereof or at any later time specified therein; and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of
such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. A resignation which is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a
specified vote for re-election as a director may provide that it is irrevocable.
Section 3.04 Direction of Management. The business of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of its Board
of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or
by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
Section 3.05 Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special,
either within or without the State of Delaware.
Section 3.06 Annual Meeting. Immediately after each annual election of directors or at such other time as the Board of
Directors may determine, the Board of Directors shall meet for the purpose of organization, election of officers, and the transaction
of other business, at the place where such election of directors was held or, if notice of such meeting is given, at the place specified
in such notice. Notice of such meeting need not be given. In the absence of a quorum at said meeting, the same may be held at any
other time and place which shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of
Directors, or as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by the directors, if any, not attending and participating in the meeting.
Section 3.07 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and
place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors.
Section 3.08 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board or
the President on 2 days’ notice to each director either
14
Exhibit 3.3
Effective as of February 21, 2023
personally (including by telephone or by means of electronic transmission), or in the manner specified in Section 4.01. Special
meetings shall be called by the Chairman of the Board, or the President or the Secretary in like manner and on like notice of the
written request (or request by electronic transmission) of two directors.
Section 3.09 Quorum; Voting. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the directors shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business; and at all meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors, a majority of the members
of such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The act of a majority of the directors present at any
meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof at which there is a quorum present shall be the act of the Board of

shall be present.

ARTICLE 6
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 6.01 Indemnification. Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving while a director or officer of the Corporation at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or other representative of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall be indemnified by the Corporation against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, excise taxes and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permissible under applicable law.
Section 6.02 Advances. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it exists now or is hereafter amended,
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a present or former director or officer in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is or may be available pursuant to this Article 6
shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article 6. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other
employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate. The Board of
Directors may authorize the Corporation’s counsel to represent a director, officer, employee or agent in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is a party to such action, suit or proceeding.
Section 6.03 Procedure. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 6.01, or advance of
costs, charges and expenses of a director or officer under Section 6.02, shall be made promptly, and in any event within sixty (60)
days, upon the written request of the director or officer. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article 6 shall
be enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction if the
Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully
establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation,
to the fullest extent permitted by law. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the
advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6.02 where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the
Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth under Delaware law, but the burden of proving such
defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors or a committee thereof,
its independent legal counsel, and its
18
Exhibit 3.3
Effective as of February 21, 2023
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is
proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law, nor the fact that
there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors or a committee thereof, its independent
legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the
action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section 6.04 Other Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article 6 shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any insurance or other agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to actions in their official
capacity and as to actions in another capacity while holding an office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
Section 6.05 Insurance. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or other representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such
capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against
such liability under the provisions of these Bylaws.
Section 6.06 Modification. The duties of the Corporation to indemnify and to advance expenses to a director or officer
provided in this Article 6 shall constitute a contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, each
individual who serves or has served as a director or officer of the Corporation, in consideration of such person’s past or current and
any future performance of services for the Corporation, and pursuant to this Article 6, the Corporation intends to be legally bound
to each such current or former director or officer of the Corporation, the rights conferred under this Article 6 are present contractual
rights, and such rights are fully vested, and shall be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon such director or officer
commencing service as a director or officer of the Corporation. Neither amendment nor repeal nor modification of any provision of
this Article 6 nor the adoption of any provision of the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as amended or restated from time
to time, inconsistent with this Article 6 shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article 6 in respect of any act or omission
occurring, or any cause of action or claim that accrues or arises or any state of facts existing, at the time of or before such
amendment, repeal, modification or adoption of an inconsistent provision (even in the case of a proceeding based on such a state of
facts that is commenced after such time). The rights provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article 6 shall continue
notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate,
heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.
ARTICLE 7
CERTIFICATES OF STOCK
Section 7.01 Stock Certificates. Every holder of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate in the form
prescribed by the Board of Directors signed on behalf of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board or the President or a Vice
President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, representing
the number of shares owned by him in the Corporation; provided, that
19
Exhibit 3.3
Effective as of February 21, 2023
the board of directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated
shares. Any or all signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or
whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before
such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer
agent, or registrar at the date of issue.
Section 7.02 Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of
any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making
of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue
of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof,
require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such
manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct or indemnity against any claim that
may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
Section 7.03 Transfers of Stock. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate
for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty
of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon
its books.
Section 7.04 Fixing Record Date. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the stockholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of
any rights, or to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful
action. Such record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors and such record date shall not be (i) in the case of such a meeting of stockholders, more than 60 nor less than 10 days
before the date of the meeting of stockholders, or (ii) except for record dates to be fixed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.09, in other cases, more than 60 days prior to the payment or allotment or change, conversion or exchange or other action.
A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any
adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 7.04 to the contrary, a record date for determining stockholders entitled to take action by written consent
shall be fixed in accordance with Section 2.09(b) of these Bylaws.
Section 7.05 Registered Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person
registered on its books as the owner of stock to receive dividends and to vote as such owner, and shall be entitled to hold liable for
calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of stock, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
other claim to, or interest in, such stock on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof,
except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.
Section 8.01 Amendments. These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, and new Bylaws may be adopted, by the
stockholders or by the Board of Directors at any regular
ARTICLE 8
MISCELLANEOUS
20
Exhibit 3.3

meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors if
notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new Bylaws be contained in the notice of such special meeting.
Section 8.02 Exclusive Jurisdiction of Delaware Courts or the United States Federal District Courts. Unless the
Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action
or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any
director or officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (c) any action
asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any
provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws (in each case, as they may be amended from time to
time) or (d) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation
governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located
within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware); provided, however, that this
sentence will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or to any
claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an
alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any
complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, or the respective
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise
acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the
provisions of this
Section 8.03 Severability. If any provision or provisions of these Bylaws shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Bylaws
(including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby;
and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of these Bylaws (including, without limitation, each such portion of any
paragraph containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the
intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Exhibit 4.4
Description of the Company’s Common Stock Registered
Under Section 12 of the Exchange Act
The following is a description of the common stock of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the “Company”). The description does not purport to be
complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or the certificate of
incorporation, and its third amended and restated by-laws, or the bylaws) each of which are filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and to the
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).
General Matters
Authorized Shares
The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 255,000,000 shares of stock, of which 240,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, and 15,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, no par value. As of December 31, 2022, we had 90,476,671 shares of common stock
outstanding, 6,822,864 shares were designated as treasury stock, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
Dividends
Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to
receive dividends out of assets legally available therefor at such times and in such amounts as the board of directors may from time to time determine.
However, our senior credit facility limits the amount of dividends that we may pay. Any future determinations to pay cash dividends on our common stock
will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and other factors that our
board of directors deems relevant.
Voting Rights
Each stockholder is entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder. Stockholders
do not have cumulative voting rights. The Company’s board of directors is not classified and each director is elected annually. The voting standard for the
election of directors is a majority of votes cast in uncontested elections. In contested elections where the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors
to be elected, the vote standard is a plurality of the votes cast. Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election
of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election.
Preemptive or Similar Rights
Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions
Upon the occurrence of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of shares of common stock would be entitled to share ratably in the distribution
of all of our assets remaining available for distribution after satisfaction of all its liabilities and the payment of the liquidation preference of any outstanding
preferred stock.
Stock Exchange
Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “IART”.
Preferred Stock
Exhibit 4.4
The Company’s Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series and with such
rights and preferences as determined by the Board with respect to each series. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the market
price of our common stock and could adversely affect the voting and other rights of holders of common stock.
Statutory Business Combination Provision
As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL. In general, Section 203 of the
DGCL prevents an “interested stockholder,” which is defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a Delaware corporation’s outstanding voting stock
or any affiliate or associate of that person, from engaging in a broad range of “business combinations” with the corporation for three years following the date
that person became an interested stockholder unless:
•
•
•
before that person became an interested stockholder, the board of directors of the corporation approved the transaction in which that person became
an interested stockholder or approved the business combination;
on completion of the transaction that resulted in that person’s becoming an interested stockholder, that person owned at least 85% of the voting stock
of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than stock held by (1) directors who are also officers of the corporation
or (2) any employee stock plan that does not provide employees with the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will
be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
following the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder, both the board of directors of the corporation and the holders of at
least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by that person approve the business combination.
Under Section 203 of the DGCL, the restrictions described above also do not apply to specific business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder
following the announcement or notification of designated extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested
stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation’s directors, if a
majority of the directors who were directors prior to any person’s becoming an interested stockholder during the previous three years, or were recommended
for election or elected to succeed those directors by a majority of those directors, approve or do not oppose that extraordinary transaction.
Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws
Some of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws discussed below may have the effect, either alone or in combination with the provisions
of our certificate of incorporation discussed above and Section 203 of the DGCL, of making more difficult or discouraging a tender offer, proxy contest,
merger or other takeover attempt that our board of directors opposes but that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interest.
Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our bylaws provide that a special meeting of our stockholders may only be called by (i) the chairman of our board of
directors, (ii) the president or (iii) our board of directors.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our stockholders may act by written consent without a meeting, subject to the requirements in our bylaws for setting a
record date for the written consent. Any stockholder seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action must request that our Board of
Directors fix a record date. Such notice must include the same information required for a stockholder proposal and be submitted to our Board of Directors as
described in our bylaws.
Vacancies on the Board of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that the number of directors will be fixed exclusively by, and may be increased
or decreased exclusively by, our board of directors from time to time, but will not be less than three nor more than thirteen. Our bylaws provide that vacancies
on the board of directors arising through death, resignation, retirement or removal shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office whether or
not the remaining directors constitute a quorum. These provisions will prevent our stockholders from removing incumbent directors without cause and filling
the resulting vacancies with their own nominees.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the number of directors will be fixed exclusively by, and may be increased or decreased exclusively by, our
board of directors from time to time, but will not be less than three nor more than thirteen. Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors may be
removed only by the Delaware Chancery Court under Section 225(c) of the DGCL or for cause (as such term is defined in our certificate of incorporation) as
determined by a vote of at least 80% of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock. A vacancy on our board of directors may be filled by a vote of a
majority of
Exhibit 4.4
the directors in office, and a director appointed to fill a vacancy serves for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our bylaws contain provisions requiring that advance notice be delivered
to us of any business to be brought by a stockholder before an annual meeting of stockholders and providing for certain procedures to be followed by
stockholders in nominating persons for election to our board of directors. Generally, the advance notice provisions provide that the stockholder must give
written notice to our Secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, except
that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the
stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting (or, if later, then the 10th day following the
day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made). The notice must set forth specific information regarding that stockholder
and that business or director nominee, as described in our bylaws.
Amendment of Certain Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Under the DGCL, the stockholders of a corporation have the right to adopt,
amend or repeal the bylaws and, with the approval of the board of directors, the certificate of incorporation of a corporation. In addition, if the certificate of
incorporation so provides, the bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the board of directors. Our Certificate provides that the bylaws may be
amended or repealed by our board of directors. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also confer on our board of directors the power to adopt, amend or
repeal our amended and restated bylaws with the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office.
Forum Selection. Our bylaws provide, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, that the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any
derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or
other employees to us or our stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to
any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws (in each case, as they may be amended from time to time) or (d) any action
asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, will be a state court located within
the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware). Any
person that purchases or otherwise acquires an interest in our stock will be deemed to have notice of and agree to comply with the foregoing provisions.
Our bylaws provide that a state court of the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district
court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Integra; (ii) any
action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer of Integra to Integra or the stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim
against Integra arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws (as each may be amended, from time to time); or
(iv) any other action asserting a claim against Integra or any director or officer of Integra that is governed by or subject to the internal affairs doctrine for
choice of law purposes. However, the forum selection provision does not apply to any claims, actions or proceedings arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, which we refer to as the “Securities Act,” or the Exchange Act. Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal
district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or
otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our stock will be deemed to have notice of and consented to the exclusive forum provisions in our bylaws.
Preferred Stock. As discussed above under “General Matters—Preferred Stock,” our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, without the
approval of our stockholders, to provide for the issuance of all or any shares of our preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the designation,
powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions applicable to any of those
rights, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion or exchange rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, of each series. The issuance of
shares of our preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase shares of preferred stock, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal.
In addition, under some circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of our common stockholders.

to the Participant’s continuous service.
(b) In addition, and subject to Sections 3.5(d) and (e) below, a number of shares of Performance Stock shall Performance-

Performance Vesting Percentage with respect to each such year, as specified in Exhibit A, and shall remain outstanding and eligible

(c) In addition, if the Change in Control occurs following the completion of a fiscal year in the Performance Period but

(e) Notwithstanding Sections 3.5(a) and 3.5(b) above, if the Participant incurs (1) a Qualifying Termination on or within
twelve (12) months following the date of a Change in Control and prior to or on the last day of the Performance Period, or (2) a
Termination of Service by reason of the Participant’s Disability or death on or following a Change in Control and prior to or on the
last day of the Performance Period, then in either case any Performance-Vested shares of Performance Stock that are then-
outstanding and have not yet Vested shall Vest in full upon such Termination of Service.

Award Agreement shall be administered, and the shares of Performance Stock shall be issued, only in such a manner as to conform
to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Award Agreement and the shares of Performance

Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is

EXHIBIT A
PERFORMANCE GOALS AND PERFORMANCE PERIOD
Capitalized terms shall have the meaning set forth in Performance Stock Agreement.
The “Performance Period” shall be the three-year period beginning [ ] and ending [ ].
The “Catch-Up Performance Goal” shall mean that the Company achieves, as of the end of the Performance Period (but not due to
a Change in Control), an average 3-year Annual Organic Revenue growth rate of at least [ ]%.
With respect to each fiscal year in the Performance Period, the “Performance Goal” is that the Company achieves a Threshold
Level or higher level of growth in Annual Organic Revenue over the immediately preceding fiscal year, as set forth in the table
below. A number of shares of Performance Stock will Performance-Vest in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Performance Stock
Agreement based on the percentage growth in Annual Organic Revenue over the immediately preceding fiscal year:
“Threshold Level”
“Target Level”
“Maximum Level”
Growth in Annual
Organic Revenue over the
Prior Fiscal Year (%)
Performance Vesting
Percentage
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
In the event that the growth in Annual Organic Revenue over the immediately preceding fiscal year falls between the “Threshold
Level” and the “Target Level,” then the Performance Vesting Percentage shall be determined by extrapolating between the
“Threshold Level,” anchor points of [ ] Annual Organic Revenue growth (with a [ ] Performance Vesting Percentage)
and [ ] Annual Organic Revenue growth (with an [ ] Performance Vesting Percentage), and the “Target Level.” In the
event that the growth in Annual Organic Revenue over the immediately preceding fiscal year falls between the “Target Level” and
the “Maximum Level,” then the Performance Vesting Percentage shall be determined by means of linear interpolation between the
“Target Level,” anchor points of [ ] Annual Organic Revenue growth (with a [ ] Performance Vesting Percentage) and
the “Maximum Level.”
Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event that (i) a Change in Control does not occur during the Performance Period, (ii) the
Performance Goal with respect to a given fiscal year in the Performance Period is not achieved at the applicable Target Level or
higher, and (iii) the Catch-Up Performance Goal is achieved, then a number of shares of Performance Stock equal to the difference
between (x) the number of shares of Performance Stock which would have Vested in the event that the Performance Goal had been
achieved at the Target Level with respect to such
A-<#>
fiscal year and (y) the number of shares of Performance Stock which actually became Vested based on the applicable Performance
Vesting Percentage for such fiscal year, shall become Vested in accordance with Section 3.1(b) of the Performance Stock
Agreement (such number of shares, the “Catch-Up Shares”).

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (together with the attached Notice of Grant of Stock Options and
Option Agreement (“Notice of Grant”), the “Option Agreement”) made as of the date (the “Grant Date”) set forth in Notice of
Grant, between Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the named Key
Employee of the Company, a Related Corporation, or an affiliate (the “Employee”).
WHEREAS, the Company desires to afford the Employee an opportunity to purchase shares of common stock of the Company,
par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), as hereinafter provided, in accordance with the provisions of the Integra LifeSciences
Holdings Corporation Fifth Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). Requests for hardcopies
of the “Plan” should be directed to Mythili Seshan at the New Jersey Corporate Office.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable
consideration the legal sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree
as follows:
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined below shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. The masculine pronoun shall include
the feminine and neuter, and the singular the plural, where the context so indicates.
Grant of Option. Effective [ ], the Company hereby grants to the Employee a non-qualified stock option (the
“Option”) to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of the number of shares of Common Stock as set forth in the attached Notice
of Grant, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan.
Purchase Price. The purchase price per share of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Option shall be that set forth
in the attached Notice of Grant, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan. It is the determination of the
Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) that on the Grant Date the per share Option exercise price was not less
than the greater of one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock, or the par value thereof.
Term. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to any provision of this Option Agreement, this Option shall expire on [ ]
(the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Option shall not be exercisable after the Expiration
Date.
Exercise of Option. Twenty Five percent (25%) of the shares of Stock Options shall become vested each of the first and
second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Any portion of the Option that becomes exercisable in accordance with the
foregoing shall remain exercisable, subject to the provisions contained in this Option Agreement, until the expiration of the term of
this Option as set forth above or until other termination of the Option as set forth in this Option Agreement.
Exhibit 10.3(k)
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, no portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable as of the
Employee’s termination of employment or in connection with Employee’s termination of employment shall thereafter become
vested or exercisable.
Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised
in whole or in part by written notice to the Company, at its principal office, which currently is located at 1100 Campus Road,
Princeton, New Jersey 08540. Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Option, and the number of shares with respect to
which it is being exercised; shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option; shall, unless the Company otherwise
notifies the Employee, be accompanied by the investment certificate referred to below; and shall be accompanied by payment of the
full Option price of such shares.
The Option price shall be paid to the Company: (i) in cash; (ii) in cash equivalent; (iii) in Common Stock of the Company, in
accordance with Section 7.1(f)(ii) of the Plan (as in effect on the date of this Option Agreement); (iv) by delivering a properly
executed notice of exercise of the Option, in accordance with Section 7.1(f)(iii) of the Plan (as in effect on the date of this Option
Agreement); (v) in Common Stock of the Company issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Option or otherwise withheld in net
settlement of the Option, in accordance with Section 7.1(f)(iv) of the Plan (as in effect on the date of this Option Agreement); or
(vi) by any combination of (i)-(v).
Upon receipt of such notice and payment, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered a
certificate or certificates representing the shares with respect to which the Option is so exercised. Such certificate(s) shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising the Option (or, if the Option is exercised by the Employee and if the
Employee so requests in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the name of the Employee and the Employee’s
spouse, jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written order of the person or
persons exercising the Option. In the event the Option is exercised by any person or persons after the legal disability or death of the
Employee, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. All
shares that are purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and not assessable by the Company.
Shares to be Purchased for Investment. Unless the Company has theretofore notified the Employee that a registration
statement covering the shares to be acquired upon the exercise of the Option has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933
and the Company has not thereafter notified the Employee that such registration statement is no longer effective, it shall be a
condition to any exercise of this Option that the shares acquired upon such exercise be acquired for investment and not with a view
to distribution, and the person effecting such exercise shall submit to the Company a certificate of such investment intent, together
with such other evidence supporting the same as the Company may request. The Company shall be entitled to delay the
transferability of the shares issued upon any such exercise to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of violation of the Securities Act
of 1933 (or of any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder) or of any state laws or regulations. Such restrictions may, at the
option of the Company, be noted or set forth in full on the share certificates.
Non-Transferability of Option. This Option is not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, by the Employee other
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the Employee the Option shall be exercisable only
by the Employee or by his or her guardian or legal representative.
Exhibit 10.3(k)
Termination of Employment. If the Employee’s employment with the Company and all Related Corporations is terminated prior
to the Expiration Date for any reason other than by (i) death or disability or (ii) a Qualifying Termination upon a Change in Control
as further described below, this Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the Employee
could have exercised it on the date of such termination of employment, or to any greater extent permitted by the Committee, by the
Employee at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) six (6) months after such termination of employment.
Death. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Option Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee dies during his employment
with the Company and Related Corporations and prior to the Expiration Date, the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable
and such Option upon such death can be exercised by the Employee’s estate, personal representative or beneficiary who acquired
the right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the Employee’s death, at any time prior to the earlier of
(i) the Expiration Date or (ii) one year after the date of the Employee’s death.
Disability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Option Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee incurs a disability, as
defined in the Plan, during his employment with the Company and Related Corporations and, prior to the Expiration Date, the
Employee’s employment is terminated as a consequence of such disability, this Option shall become fully vested and exercisable
and such Option upon such termination due to such Disability can be exercised by the Employee, or in the event of the Employee’s
legal disability, by the Employee’s legal representative, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) one year
after the date of such termination of employment due to such Disability.
Double Trigger Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Option Agreement to the contrary, if during the
Employee’s employment with the Company and Related Corporations and prior to the Expiration Date, a Change in Control occurs
and the Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination on or within twelve (12) months following the date of such Change in Control,
this Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and such Option upon such Qualifying Termination can be exercised by the
Employee at any time prior to the Expiration Date.
Clawback Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or the Option Agreement to the contrary, the Option shall be subject
to the provisions of any clawback, repayment or recapture policy implemented by the Company, including any such policy
adopted to comply with applicable law (including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act) or securities exchange listing standards and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set
forth in such policy and/or in any notice or agreement relating to the Option under the Plan.
Withholding of Taxes. The obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Option
shall be subject to applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. If the exercise of any Option is subject to the
withholding requirements of applicable federal, state or local tax laws, the Committee, in its discretion, may permit the Employee,
subject to the provisions of the Plan and such additional withholding rules (the “Withholding Rules”) as shall be adopted by the
Committee, to satisfy the withholding tax, in whole or in part, by electing to have the Company withhold (or by returning to the
Company) shares of Common Stock, which shares shall be valued, for this purpose, at their fair market value on the date of
exercise of the Option (or, if later, the date on which the Employee recognizes ordinary income
Exhibit 10.3(k)
with respect to such exercise). An election to use shares of Common Stock to satisfy tax withholding requirements must be made in
compliance with and subject to the Withholding Rules. The Committee may not withhold shares in excess of the number necessary
to satisfy the minimum tax withholding requirements.
Construction. This Option Agreement is made under and subject to the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the Grant
Date, and all of the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the Grant Date are hereby incorporated herein as provisions of this Option
Agreement.
Governing Law. This Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement shall be governed by applicable federal law and otherwise
by the laws of the State of Delaware.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Option Agreement has been executed and delivered by the parties hereto.

“specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination of service and (y) the payment of such
accelerated RSUs will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Participant on or within the six (6)
month period following the Participant’s termination of service, then the payment of such accelerated RSUs will not be made until
the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s termination of service, unless the Participant dies
following his or her termination of service, in which case, the RSUs will be paid in Shares to the Participant’s estate as soon as
practicable following his or her death.
Section 2.7 Settlement. On or as soon as administratively practicable (and any event within 30 days) following each
Vesting Date, the Company shall cause to be issued to the Participant Shares with respect to the RSUs that become vested on such
Vesting Date.
Section 2.8 Fractions. No fractional Share will be issued pursuant to an award granted hereunder. The number of Shares
issuable to the Participant upon payment of any award granted under this Award Agreement will be rounded down to the nearest
whole number of Share. No payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Share so disregarded.
Section 2.9 Section 409A. It is the intent of this Award Agreement that it and all payments and benefits to U.S. taxpayers
hereunder be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the RSUs provided under this Award
Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities
herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply. Each payment payable under this Award Agreement is intended to
constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). However, in no event will the Company
reimburse the Participant, or be otherwise responsible for, any taxes or costs that may be imposed on the Participant as a result of
Section 409A.
Exhibit 10.3(l)
Section 2.10 Adjustments to Restricted Stock Units. In the event of any subdivision, consolidation, stock dividend,
capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, or other change with respect to the Shares, or a consolidation, amalgamation,
merger, spin-off, sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property of the Company or other distribution of the
Company's assets to stockholders (other than the payment of ordinary cash dividends), the account of the Participant and the RSUs
held by the Participant shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, as the Committee may in its discretion deem appropriate to
preserve, proportionally, the interests of the Participant under the Plan.
Section 2.11 Forfeiture/Clawback. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or the Award Agreement to the
contrary, the RSUs shall be subject to the provisions of any clawback, repayment or recapture policy implemented by the Company,
including any such policy adopted to comply with applicable law (including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act) or securities exchange listing standards and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the
extent set forth in such policy and/or in any notice or agreement relating to the RSUs under the Plan.

that:
(i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended,
suspended or terminated by the Company at any time to the extent permitted in the Plan;

(iv) the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

as a director of a Related Corporation or an Affiliate;
(vii) the award of the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same are not

(ix) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from the

be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s
employment agreement, if any);
(x) neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any other Related Corporation or Affiliate shall be liable for
any exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the U.S. Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or
of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the vesting and settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares
acquired upon settlement; and
(xi) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any
recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan or sale of the Shares acquired upon vesting and settlement of
the RSUs. The Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her
participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
Section 3.4 Responsibility for Taxes. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company
or, if different, the Service Recipient, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax,
payment on account, and other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the
Participant or deemed applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may
exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. The Participant further acknowledges that
the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related
Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs or the underlying Shares, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or
settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends or other
distributions paid on the Shares, and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any
aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.
Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the
Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-
Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(i) Tax Withholding. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to
make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the
Exhibit 10.3(l)
Service Recipient to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations the Company or the Service Recipient may have for Tax-
Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and the Service Recipient, as applicable, and their respective
agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the
following:
Service Recipient;
(a) withholding from wages or other cash compensation payable to the Participant by the Company or any
Company or the Service Recipient;
(b) requiring the Participant to tender a cash payment or make a payment in a form acceptable to the
(c) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares to be issued upon vesting of the RSUs either through a
voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization
without further consent);
(d) withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the RSUs (in which case the Participant will be
deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested portion of the RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of
the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items); and
laws, approved by the Committee.
(e) any other method acceptable to the Company and to the extent required under the Plan and applicable
The Company and/or the Service Recipient may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory
withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including minimum or maximum rates applicable in the Participant’s
jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding or if the maximum applicable rate for the Participant’s jurisdiction is used in
connection with the withholding methods described in (c) or (d) above, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld
amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares), or if not refunded, the Participant may be able to seek a
refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay additional Tax-
Related Items directly to the applicable tax authorities or to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. If any applicable
withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed
to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back
solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. The Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient any
amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of
the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to
deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations for Tax-
Related Items.
(ii) Tax Consequences. The Participant has reviewed with his or her own tax advisors the applicable tax
consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Award Agreement. With respect to such matters, the
Participant relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written
or oral.
Section 3.5 Restricted Stock Units Non-Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in Section 2, this Award and
the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by
operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to
transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Award, or any
Exhibit 10.3(l)
right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this Award and
the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.
Section 3.6 Unfunded and Unsecured Plan. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan is unfunded and the Company’s
obligations under the Plan and this Award Agreement are unsecured and that, to the extent the Participant or his or her estate holds
any rights by virtue of a grant of RSUs, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Company.
Section 3.7 No Stockholder Rights. Under no circumstances shall RSUs be considered Shares or other securities of the
Company, nor shall they entitle the Participant to exercise voting rights, to receive dividends or other distributions or credit
therefor, or to exercise or receive any other rights attaching to the ownership of Shares or other securities of the Company, nor shall
the Participant be considered the owner of Shares by virtue of the award of RSUs.

THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF
IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS AN EMPLOYEE OR SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE
COMPANY (OR, IF DIFFERENT, THE SERVICE RECIPIENT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED,

HEREUNDER. THE PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE

OF GRANT OF AWARD DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED
ENGAGEMENT AS AN EMPLOYEE OR SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD,

EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE RELATIONSHIP AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
Section 3.9 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Award Agreement to the Company shall be addressed
to the Company in care of its Secretary, and any notice to be given to the Participant shall be addressed to him at the address given
beneath his signature hereto. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 3.9, either party may hereafter designate a different address
for notices to be given to it or him. Any notice which is required to be given to the Participant shall, if the Participant is then
deceased, be given to the Participant’s personal representative if such representative has previously informed the Company of his
status and address by written notice under this Section 3.9. Any notice shall have been deemed duly given when enclosed in a
properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office
regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service or comparable foreign postal service.
Section 3.10 Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement, unless
there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the
Company shall not be required to permit the issuance and/or deliver any Shares prior to the completion of any registration or
qualification of the Shares under any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal securities or exchange control law or under rulings or
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to
Exhibit 10.3(l)
obtaining any approval or other clearance from any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal governmental agency, which
registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Participant
understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or non-U.S.
securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares
subject to the RSUs. Further, the Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend this Award
Agreement without the Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance
of the Shares subject to the RSUs.
Section 3.11 Modifications to the Award Agreement. Modifications to this Award Agreement or the Plan can be made
only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the Plan or this Award Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Award Agreement as it deems necessary or
advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Participant, to comply with Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise
avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A of the Code prior to the actual issuance of Shares
pursuant to this award of RSUs.
Section 3.12 Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this Award Agreement or RSUs, the
Participant expressly warrants that he or she has received an award of RSUs under the Plan, and has received, read and understood
a description of the Plan. The Participant understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time.

administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Award Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied
under principles of conflicts of laws. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or this Award Agreement, the

(a) General. The Company is located at 1100 Campus Road, Princeton New Jersey, 08540, United States of America and
grants awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and Related Corporations or Affiliates in its sole discretion. In
conjunction with the Company’s grant of the RSUs under the Plan to the Participant and its ongoing administration of such
awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices

number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs or any other
equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company
receives from the Participant or the Service Recipient. In granting the RSUs under the Plan, the Company will collect the
Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The
Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of the Participant’s personal data is the Participant’s consent.
(c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Participant’s personal data to E*TRADE

implementation, administration and management of the Plan (together, the “Stock Plan Administrator”). In the future, the
Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Participant’s personal data with another company that
serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares
acquired under the Plan. The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock
Plan Administrator, which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

Participant should note that the Participant’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from
the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s personal data to the United States is the
Participant’s consent.
(e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. The Participant’s participation in the Plan and
his or her grant of consent is purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If the
Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later withdraws his or her consent, the Participant may be unable to
participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Participant’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Participant merely
may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(f) Data Subjects Rights. The Participant may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Participant’s
country of residence. For example, the Participant’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data
the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on
processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list
with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding

Award, the Award will be cancelled and the Participant will not be entitled to any benefits from the Award nor any
compensation or benefits in lieu of the cancelled Award.
Section 3.17 Waivers. No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of
this Award Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition
or provision at another time.
Section 3.18 Exhibit. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, this Award of RSUs shall be subject to
any special terms and conditions for the Participant’s country set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Moreover, if the Participant
relocates to one of the countries included in Exhibit A, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the
Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for
legal or administrative reasons. Exhibit A constitutes part of this Award Agreement.
Section 3.19 Entire Agreement. The Notice of Grant of Award, this Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire
contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. They supersede any other agreements, representations
or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which relate to the subject matter hereof. The
Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Award Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or
inducements other than those contained herein.
Section 3.20 Severability. The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are

translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the
English version will control.
Section 3.22 Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements, Exchange Controls and Tax Requirements. The
Participant acknowledges that his or her country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and
exchange controls which may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in
the Plan (including from any dividends or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside his
or her country. The Participant understands that he or she may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax
or other authorities in his or her country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as
a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a
certain time after receipt. In addition, the Participant may be subject to tax payment and/or reporting obligations in connection with
any income realized under the Plan and/or from the sale of Shares. The Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility
to be compliant with all such requirements, and that the Participant should consult his or her personal legal and tax advisors, as
applicable, to ensure the Participant’s compliance.

Participant’s or his or her broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, the Participant may be subject to insider-
trading restrictions and/or
Exhibit 10.3(l)
market-abuse laws, which may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares
(e.g., the RSUs), or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., phantom awards, futures) during such times as the Participant is
considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by law or regulations in the Participant’s country).
Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before the
Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information
to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties, including fellow employees, or causing
them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any
restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s insider-trading policy. The Participant understands that it is the Participant’s
responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions as well as any Company insider trading policy, and the Participant should
consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.
Section 3.24 Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the
Participant’s participation in the Plan, on this award of RSUs and on any Shares received from the RSUs, to the extent the
Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any
additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
NON-U.S. AND COUNTRY-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Terms and Conditions
This Exhibit A includes special terms and conditions applicable to the Participant if the Participant resides and/or works outside the
U.S. and, as applicable, in one of the countries listed below. These terms and conditions supplement or replace (as indicated) the
terms and conditions set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement to which it is attached. Capitalized terms used and not
defined in this Exhibit A will have the meanings set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement or the Plan, as applicable.
Notifications
This Exhibit A also includes information regarding tax, securities law, exchange controls and certain other issues of which the
Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control,
securities and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2022. Such laws are often complex and change
frequently. In addition, other laws and regulations generally applicable to the acquisition, holding or disposal of securities and
financial instruments as well as cross-border fund transfers may apply to the Participant. As a result, the Participant should not rely
on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in
the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the RSUs vest or the Participant receives or sells the Shares.
In addition, the information in this Exhibit A is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation. The
Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate
professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country apply to the Participant’s situation.
* * * * *
If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently residing and/or
working, transfers employment and/or residency after the date of grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law
purposes, the terms and conditions and information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant. The Company shall,
in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions herein shall apply to the Participant in such a case.
Exhibit 10.3(l)
EUROPEAN UNION/EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA
Terms and Conditions
If the Participant resides and/or is employed in the European Union/European Economic Area, the following provision replaces
Section 3.15 of the Award Agreement:
(a) General. The Company is located at 1100 Campus Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, United States of America and grants
awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Related Corporations or Affiliates in its sole discretion. In
conjunction with the Company’s grant of the RSUs under the Plan to the Participant and its ongoing administration of such
awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices
(“Personal Data Activities”). The Participant should carefully review this information about the Company’s Personal Data
Activities.
(b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses the Participant’s personal data, including
the Participant’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other
identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs or
any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the
Company receives from the Participant or the Service Recipient. In granting the RSUs under the Plan, the Company will collect
the Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The
Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of the Participant’s personal data is the Company legitimate
interest of managing the Plan and generally administering employee equity awards granted under the Plan, and to satisfy its
contractual obligations under the terms of the Award Agreement and this Exhibit A. The Participant’s refusal to provide
personal data may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Participant’s personal data to E*TRADE Securities
LLC and its affiliated companies (“E*TRADE”), American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC and its affiliated companies
(“AST”), independent service providers based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan (together, the “Stock Plan Administrator”). In the future, the Company may select
a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Participant’s personal data with another company that serves in a similar
manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the
Plan. The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator,
which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. The
Participant should note that the Participant’s country of residence has enacted data privacy laws that are different from the
United States. The Participant understands and acknowledges that the United States has enacted data privacy laws that are less
protective or otherwise different from those applicable in the Participant’s country of residence. For example, an appropriate
level of protection can be achieved by implementing safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU
Commission. The legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s personal data from the Participant’s country of residence to the
Company in the United States and onward transfer of the Participant’s personal data by the Company to the Stock Plan
Administrator will be based on the applicable
Exhibit 10.3(l)
data protection laws. The Participant may request a copy of such appropriate safeguards at privacy@integralife.com.

(e) Data Retention. The Company will use the Participant’s personal data only as long as necessary to implement, administer
and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including,
without limitation, under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Participant’s personal data for any of
the above purposes, which will generally be seven (7) years after he or she participates in the Plan, the Company will cease to
use the Participant’s personal data and remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the Participant’s personal data longer,
it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.
(f) Data Subject Rights. The Participant understands that he or she may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the
Participant’s country of residence. Subject to the conditions under applicable law and depending on where the Participant is
based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to, or copies of, the Participant’s personal data processed by the
Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect personal data of the Participant, (iii) deletion of the Participant’s personal data, (iv)
restrictions on the processing of the Participant’s personal data, (v) object to the processing of the Participant’s personal data
for legitimate interests, (vi) portability of the Participant’s personal data, (vii) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the
Participant’s country of residence, and/or to (viii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the

(g) Necessary Disclosure of Personal Data. The Participant understands that providing the Company with the Participant’s
personal data is necessary for the performance of the Award Agreement and that the Participant’s refusal to provide the
Participant’s personal data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the
Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

BELGIUM
Notifications
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Participant will be required to report any securities (e.g., the Shares acquired
under the Plan) or bank accounts (including brokerage accounts) held outside of Belgium on the Participant’s annual tax return. The
Participant will also be required to complete a separate report providing the National Bank of Belgium with details regarding any
such account (including the account number, the name of the bank in which such account is held and the country in which such
account is located). This report, as well as additional information on how to complete it, can be found on the website of the
National Bank of Belgium, www.nbb.be, under Kredietcentrales / Centrales des crédits caption.

RSUs are sold. The Participant should consult with a personal tax or financial advisor for additional details on the Participant’s
obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
Annual Securities Account Tax Information. A new “annual securities accounts tax” has been implemented, which imposes a
0.15% annual tax on the value of qualifying securities held in a Belgian or foreign securities account. The tax will not apply unless
the total value of securities the Participant holds in such an account exceeds an average of €1 million on four reference dates within
the relevant reporting period (i.e., December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30). Different payment obligations may apply,
depending on whether the securities account is held with a Belgian or foreign financial institution. The Participant should consult
with her or her personal tax advisor for more information regarding the annual securities accounts tax payment obligations.
CANADA
Terms and Conditions
RSUs and Dividend Equivalents Payable Only in Shares. In no event will the Participant receive a cash payment in connection with
the vesting and settlement of the RSUs or any dividend equivalents thereon.
Termination Date. This provision replaces Section 1.8 of the Award Agreement:
IMPORTANT: For purposes of the RSUs, in the event of the termination of the Participant’s employment or service
relationship (whether or not later found to be invalid or unlawful for any reason, including for breaching either applicable
employment laws or the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise required by applicable legislation
and unless otherwise provided in this Section, the Participant’s employment or service relationship will be considered
terminated effective as of the date that is the earliest of (i) the date the Participant’s employment relationship with the
Company or any Affiliate is terminated, (ii) the date the Participant receives notice of termination from the Participant’s
employer, or (iii) the date the Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Affiliate, regardless
of any period during which notice, pay in lieu of notice or related payments or damages are provided or required to be
provided under local law. The Participant will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for
Exhibit 10.3(l)
that portion of time before the date on which the Participant’s right to vest terminates, nor will the Participant be entitled
to any compensation for lost vesting. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is
no longer providing services for purposes of the Participant’s RSUs (including whether the Participant may still be
considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if applicable employment standards legislation explicitly requires continued entitlement to vesting during a
statutory notice period, the Participant’s right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the
last day of the Participant’s minimum statutory notice period, but the Participant will not earn or be entitled to pro-rated
vesting if the vesting date falls after the end of the Participant’s statutory notice period, nor will the Participant be entitled
to any compensation for lost vesting;
The following provisions will also apply if the Participant is a resident of Quebec:
Language Consent. The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Award Agreement, including this Exhibit A, as
well as all documents, notices, and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or
indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.
Consentement Relatif à la Langue Utilisée. Les parties reconnaissent avoir expressément souhaité que la convention ainsi que cette
Exhibit A, ainsi que tous les documents, avis et procédures judiciares, éxécutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou liés directement
ou indirectement à la présente convention, soient rédigés en langue anglaise.
Data Privacy. This provision supplements Section 3.15 of the Award Agreement:
The Participant hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant
information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. The Participant further
authorizes the Company and any Affiliate, as well as E*TRADE, AST or such other third party service provider as may be selected
by the Company to assist with the Plan, to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. The Participant further authorizes the
Company, any Related Corporation and any Affiliate to record such information and to keep such information in the Participant’s
employee file.
Notifications
Securities Law Information. The Participant is permitted to sell the Shares acquired under the Plan through the Company’s
designated broker, provided the resale of such Shares takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on
which the Shares are listed. The Shares are currently listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Foreign specified property held by a Canadian resident must be reporting annually
on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at
any time during the year. Thus, unvested RSUs must be reported - generally at a nil cost- if the C$100,000 cost threshold is
exceeded because of other foreign specified property held by the Participant. When the Shares are acquired, their cost generally is
the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of
acquisition, but if the Participant owns other Shares, this ACB may need to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. The
Participant should consult with his or her personal legal advisor regarding what
Exhibit 10.3(l)
reporting obligations, if any, will apply to the Participant with respect to the Shares acquired under the Plan.
CHINA
Terms and Conditions
The following terms and conditions apply only if the Participant is subject to exchange control restrictions or regulations in China,
as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
Compliance with Law. The following provision supplements Section 3(b) of the Plan:
The Participant acknowledges that the Participant’s participation in the Plan is subject to the Company obtaining approval from the
State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). Without limitation to the foregoing, the Participant understands and agrees
that the issuance and delivery of Shares pursuant to the RSUs will be delayed until the Company obtains such approval or the
Committee has otherwise determined that the issuance of the Shares can be made in compliance with applicable laws.
Sale of Shares. To facilitate compliance with any applicable laws and regulations in China, the Participant agrees that the Company
(or a brokerage firm instructed by the Company, if applicable) is entitled to (i) sell all the Shares issued to the Participant at
settlement (on the Participant’s behalf and at the Participant’s direction pursuant to this authorization), either at the time of
settlement or when the Participant ceases employment with the Service Recipient, or at such other time determined by the
Company, or (ii) require that any Shares acquired under the Plan be held with a designated brokerage firm until such Shares are
sold.
The Participant also agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company
(or the Company’s designated brokerage firm) to effectuate the sale of the Shares and acknowledges that neither the Company nor
the designated brokerage firm is under any obligation to arrange for such sale of the Shares at any particular price (it being
understood that the sale will occur at the then-current market price) and that brokerage fees or commissions may be incurred in any
such sale. In any event, when the Shares acquired under the Plan are sold, the proceeds of the sale of the Shares, less any Tax-
Related Items and brokerage fees or commissions, will be remitted to the Participant in accordance with applicable exchange
control laws and regulations.
Termination of Employment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that any Shares acquired under the Plan and held in the
Participant’s brokerage account must be sold within sixty (60) days following termination of the Participant’s Employment, or
within such other period as determined by the Company or required by SAFE (the “Mandatory Sale Date”). This includes any
Shares that vest upon the Participant’s termination of Employment. The Participant understands that any Shares held by the
Participant that have not been sold by the Mandatory Sale Date will automatically be sold by the Company’s designated broker at
the Company’s direction (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), as described above.
Exchange Control Restrictions. By entering into this Award Agreement, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to
local exchange control requirements, any Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs must be held in an account with the Company’s
designated broker and may not be transferred from such account. The Participant further understands that he or she is permitted to
sell Shares acquired under the Plan only through the Company’s designated broker. The Participant further understands and agrees
that, due to exchange control laws in China, the Participant must immediately repatriate the proceeds from the sale of Shares
Exhibit 10.3(l)
and any cash dividends paid on such Shares to China. The Participant understands that such repatriation of the proceeds will need to
be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or a Related Corporation or Affiliate, and the
Participant hereby consents and agrees that the proceeds from the sale of Shares or the receipt of any cash dividends may be
transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Participant. The Company may deliver the proceeds to the
Participant in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, the Participant
understands that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into
this account. The Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold or dividends are paid
and the time the proceeds are distributed to the Participant. The Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange
conversion rate.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. French residents holding cash or securities (including Shares acquired under the
Plan) outside of France or maintaining foreign bank or brokerage account (including accounts opened or closed during the tax year)
must declare such assets and accounts to the French tax authorities when filing an annual tax return. Failure to comply could trigger
significant penalties.

Bank (Bundesbank). The report must be filed electronically and the form of report (Allgemeine Meldeportal Statistik) can be

reporting obligations and should consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the Participant’s acquisition of Shares under the Plan leads to a “qualified
participation” at any point during the calendar year, the Participant must report the acquisition when he or she files a tax return for
the relevant year. A “qualified participation” is attained if (i) the value of the Shares acquired exceeds €150,000, or (ii) in the

IRELAND
There are no country-specific provisions.
ITALY
Terms and Conditions
Plan Document Acknowledgment. By accepting the Award Agreement, the Participant further acknowledges that the Participant
has received a copy of the Plan, has reviewed the Plan and the Award Agreement in their entirety and fully understands and accepts
all provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement. The Participant further acknowledges that the Participant has read and

Shares) that may generate income taxable in Italy, the Participant is required to report them on his or her annual tax return (UNICO

owner of the investments, even if the Participant does not directly hold investments abroad or foreign assets.
Foreign Asset Tax Information. The value of the financial assets held outside of Italy by Italian residents is subject to a foreign
asset tax. Such tax is currently levied at an annual rate of 2 per thousand (0.2%). The taxable amount will be the fair market value
of the financial assets (e.g., Shares) assessed at the end of the calendar year. No tax payment duties arise if the value of the foreign
assets held abroad does not exceed a certain threshold.
JAPAN
Notifications
Exchange Control Information. If Participant acquires Shares valued at more than ¥100,000,000 in a single transaction, the
Participant must file a Securities Acquisition Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan within 20 days of the
acquisition of the Shares.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Participant will be required to report details of any assets (such as Shares) held
outside of Japan as of December 31st to the extent such assets have a total net fair market value exceeding ¥50,000,000. Such
report will be due by March 15th each year. The Participant should consult with his or her personal tax advisor as to whether the
reporting obligation extends to any outstanding RSUs held by the Participant and to ensure compliance with applicable reporting
obligations.

Acceptance of the Award Agreement: By accepting the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of
the Plan and the Award Agreement, including this Exhibit, which the Participant has reviewed. The Participant acknowledges
further that he or she accepts all the provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, including this Exhibit. The Participant also
acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically and expressly approves the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.3 of
the Award Agreement, which clearly provide as follows:
(1) the Participant’s participation in the Plan does not constitute an acquired right;
(2) The Plan and the Participant’s participation in it are offered by the Company on a wholly discretionary basis; and
(3) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary.
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement: In accepting the RSUs, Participant expressly recognizes that Integra LifeSciences
Holdings Corporation at 1100 Campus Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, USA, is solely responsible for the administration of the
Plan and that the Participant’s participation in the Plan and acquisition of the Shares do not constitute an employment relationship
between the Participant and the Company since the Participant is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and the
Participant’s sole employer is a Mexican subsidiary of the Company (“Integra-Mexico”). Based on the foregoing, the Participant
expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that the Participant may derive from his or her participation in the Plan do not
establish any rights between the Participant and Integra-Mexico, and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits
provided by Integra-Mexico and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the
terms and conditions of the Participant’s employment.
The Participant further understands that his or her participation in the Plan is a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of
the Company; therefore, the Company reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue the Participant’s participation at any
time without any liability to the Participant.
Finally, the Participant hereby declares that he or she does not reserve any action or right to bring any claim against the Company
for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and the Participant
therefore grants a full and broad release to the Company, its subsidiaries, branches, representation offices, its shareholders, officers,
agents or legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.

to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and
5.
The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
(a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
(b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
control over financial reporting.
