PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY

Performance Highlights for Fiscal Year 2023

Integer is one of the largest medical device outsource manufacturers in the world, serving the cardiac rhythm management, neuromodulation, vascular, portable medical and orthopedics markets. We provide innovative, high-quality medical technologies that enhance the lives of patients worldwide. We also develop batteries for high-end niche applications in the energy, military and environmental markets. Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “ITGR.”

Our company is on a Journey to Excellence with a clear strategy to win in the markets we serve and achieve excellence in all that we do. All of our actions are anchored to this strategy. From a portfolio perspective, we have taken a structured and disciplined approach to shift the mix of our business to higher growth markets. And with supply chain and labor challenges subsiding, we are accelerating execution of our operational strategy to expand margins. As a result, our 2023 sales grew above market rates, operating margins expanded, and we ended 2023 within our debt leverage target of 2.5 – 3.5 times adjusted EBITDA.

Our strong cash flow has enabled us to maintain our debt leverage ratio within our target, while making investments in capabilities and capacity, including tuck-in acquisitions and facility expansions, that support our customers’ efforts to address significant unmet patient needs.

•The Oscor and Aran Biomedical acquisitions are performing better than expected and were strong contributors to our 2023 sales and profit growth.

•The addition of InNeuroCo in October 2023 brings additional neurovascular catheter design and development capability and capacity to further differentiate the products and solutions we offer to our customers.

•The Pulse Technologies acquisition in January 2024 deepens Integer’s capabilities in precision micro machining and further strengthens our pipeline in high-growth markets like electrophysiology, structural heart, and heart pumps.

•Later this year, we will open a new, state-of-the-art development and manufacturing center in Galway, Ireland, to better serve structural heart and neurovascular customers in this important medical device hub.

•Significant expansion projects are also underway in New Ross, Ireland, as well as in the Dominican Republic, Malaysia and New York to meet customer demand.

In addition to adding end-to-end capabilities, platform technologies and capacity to accelerate our growth in faster growing end-markets, we have taken strategic actions to improve profitability and drive excellence across our operations.

•We continue to further our competitive advantage in Manufacturing Excellence through Company-wide adoption of the Integer Production System, a standardized structure of systems and processes to deliver world-class operational performance, quality and efficiency across all of our global sites.

•In keeping with our commitment to create a more inclusive, values-based culture where individual ideas, perspectives and differences are valued, we launched an additional Employee Resource Group and held more than 120 diversity and inclusion-focused engagement activities in 2023, all driven by associates and supported by executive leadership.

Through the execution of our product line and operational strategy we have significantly grown our pipeline of new product introductions in faster growing end markets, which positions us well for continued above market growth and margin expansion.

Highlights from our 2023 financial results confirm our strategy is positioning Integer to win in the markets we serve:

•Increased sales by 16% to $1.597 billion, driven by our Medical product lines with strong demand, new product ramps, growth from emerging customers with premarket approval products and supply chain improvements.

•Generated $180 million of cash flow from operating activities compared to $116 million for 2022.

•Operating income increased $46 million or 38% to $167 million. Adjusted operating income(1) increased $50 million or 26% to $241 million.

•Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased $0.73 per share or 37% to $2.69 per share. Adjusted earnings per share(1) increased $0.79 per share or 20% to $4.67 per share.

(1)     Adjusted operating income and Adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. See Appendix A to this proxy statement for information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

2 | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY

Integer’s deep technology, breadth of capabilities and products, global manufacturing footprint and vertical integration uniquely position the Company to serve our customers across all phases of the product lifecycle. Our focused strategy and investments have generated a strong product development pipeline, making us one of the most vertically integrated providers in the fastest growing end-markets. We delivered strong results in 2023 and we believe we are positioned to sustainably grow sales high single digit to low double digits for years to come.

As we continue on our Journey to Excellence, we expect to see significant growth for our associates, our customers, our stockholders and the communities in which we live and work, all while achieving our vision to enhance the lives of patients worldwide by being our customers’ partner of choice for innovative technologies.

For further details on our fiscal year 2023 consolidated financial results, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2024. For more information on how our fiscal year 2023 business performance affected our NEOs’ compensation, please see our Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 17 of this proxy statement.

Executive Compensation Highlights

The Company’s compensation program is designed to provide a competitive compensation package that will attract, retain and motivate our executives to drive the Company’s success through high performance and innovation, to link our executives’ compensation to short- and long-term performance of the Company and to align our executives’ compensation with the interests of our stockholders. To do this, we:

•Provide our NEOs with a fixed level of cash compensation in the form of base salary that is consistent with their skill level, experience, knowledge, length of service with the Company and the level of responsibility and complexity of their position, and is generally targeted at the competitive market median of our peer group; 

•Provide an annual short-term incentive program cash incentive award with the objective of providing a competitive level of performance-based annual compensation at the target achievement level, with the opportunity for incentive compensation above target if stretch performance is achieved, and with metrics that focus on key measures of success that the executive team is able to impact over an annual timeframe; and

•Provide a long-term incentive plan (“LTI”) award that is the largest component of our NEOs' target direct total compensation and is designed to align management’s performance incentives and pay outcomes with the interests of our stockholders by linking executive pay to stockholder value creation as the award consists of a combination of performance stock units (“PSUs”) that use organic revenue growth as the performance metric (one-third of the award) and relative total stockholder return versus our peer group as the performance metric (one-third of the award), and time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest ratably over a three-year period (one-third of the award).

During 2023, the Compensation and Organization Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) continued its stockholder supported philosophies to ensure alignment to market-based best practices and policies.

The Compensation Committee took the following actions regarding our incentive programs, for 2023:

•Introduced a new component to our short-term incentive program based on strategic objectives that is applicable to all of our NEOs, which we describe as the “ELT Team Goal.”

•Continued a wider than typical threshold and maximum achievement level in our short-term incentive program, as first introduced for 2021, making maximum payout more difficult to achieve while reducing the threshold achievement level for a minimum payout.

•Approved short-term incentive payouts based on achievement against targets established early in 2023, and did not use discretion to adjust payout.

•Granted a special stock-based incentive award to one of our NEOs, in support of both long-term retention efforts and as an incentive to drive long-term stockholder growth.

•Granted a special stock-based incentive award to one of our NEOs (who later became our permanent Chief Financial Officer) in connection with his assignment to the interim Chief Financial Officer position.

•Revised our compensation recoupment policy to be consistent with the new SEC requirements and NYSE listing standards.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 3

PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY

Below are some highlights of our compensation program:

WHAT WE DO		WHAT WE DON’T DO
ü	Align our executive pay with performance, resulting in a substantial portion of executive pay being at-risk and tied to objective performance goals	û	Provide automatic, annual increases in executive salaries
ü	Long-term incentive award grants that are predominantly performance-based and measured over multi-year periods, and short-term incentive plan awards that are also based on rigorous performance objectives	û	A high percentage of fixed compensation
ü	Hold an annual “say-on-pay” advisory vote	û	Provide tax gross-ups for change in control benefits
ü	Set multiple challenging performance objectives for our executives	û	Permit hedging or pledging of Company stock by directors, executive officers or associates
ü	Stock ownership guidelines for all executive officers and non-employee directors	û	Excessive perquisites
ü	Caps on director equity awards and fees	û	Repricing of stock options
ü	Independent compensation consultant engaged by the Compensation Committee	û	Automatic single trigger equity acceleration on change in control where the acquiror agrees to assume the award
ü	Compensation Committee carefully considers annual equity usage and potential dilution in its compensation decisions	û	Maintain evergreen provisions in long-term incentive plans
ü	Annual review and approval of our compensation strategy
ü	Compensation Committee reviews an annual risk assessment of our compensation program
ü	Require a double trigger for acceleration of severance payments or benefits upon a change in control
ü	Clawback/recoupment policy that permits recoupment of cash and equity awards under specified circumstances

Last year’s “say-on-pay” vote received the support of approximately 95% of votes cast by our stockholders (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes). Based on the voting results, we believe our overall executive compensation program is aligned with the interests of our stockholders.

PROPOSAL 2 – Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”) has been appointed by the Audit Committee as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024. Deloitte & Touche has served as the Company’s auditor since 1985. Although stockholder approval is not required, the Company has determined that it is desirable to request that the stockholders ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024. In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider this appointment and make such a determination as it believes to be in the Company’s best interests. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the Company’s best interests. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. The representatives may, if they wish, make a statement and, it is expected, will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by Deloitte & Touche for services provided to the Company during fiscal years 2023 and 2022:

	2023		2022
Audit Fees(1)	$	2,378,240	$	2,215,243

(2)Audit-related fees billed by Deloitte & Touche for the audit of the Integer Holdings Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”). In 2023, the audit-related fees also included fees related to agreed-upon procedures. In 2022, the audit-related fees also included fees related to the issuance of comfort letters and due diligence services on potential acquisitions.

PROPOSAL 3 – Advisory Vote on Compensation of the Named Executive Officers

As required pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company seeks your advisory vote on a resolution to approve the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this proxy statement. Our NEOs for 2023 are our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, our three next highest paid executive officers, our former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and our former Executive Vice President, Global Operations and ESG. Although your vote is advisory and will not be binding on the Board or the Company, the Board reviews the voting results and takes these results into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation. The next advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs will be held at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Company’s executive compensation programs have played an important role in our ability to drive financial results and attract and retain a highly experienced, successful management team. We believe that our executive compensation programs are structured to support the Company’s business objectives. We closely monitor the compensation programs and pay levels of executives from companies of similar size and complexity to ensure that our compensation programs are within the norm of a range of market practices. As discussed below under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s compensation for its named executive officers includes the following elements:

•Long-term equity compensation with performance-based vesting for two-thirds of the LTI award that was granted to NEOs in 2023. The most significant elements of the NEOs’ equity compensation opportunity for 2023 were performance-based awards under the LTI Program for which vesting depends on the Company’s (i) organic revenue growth over a three-year period ending in 2025 and (ii) total stockholder return relative to its peer group over a three-year period ending in 2026.

•Total cash compensation tied to performance. A significant portion of the cash compensation opportunity for the NEOs is based on the Company’s performance. As such, the cash compensation for the NEOs has fluctuated from year to year, reflecting the Company’s financial results.

The text of the resolution in respect of Proposal 3 is as follows:

“Resolved, that the stockholders approve, on a non-binding basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.”

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Executive Summary

Introduction. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and together with our other Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) during 2023. Our NEOs for 2023 were:

•Joseph W. Dziedzic, President and Chief Executive Officer

•Diron Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

•Payman Khales, President, Cardio & Vascular

•McAlister Marshall, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary

•Kirk Thor, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer

•Jason K. Garland, former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

•Jennifer M. Bolt, former Executive Vice President, Global Operations and ESG

2023 Performance. In 2023, we delivered 16% revenue growth to $1.597 billion, driven by our Medical product lines with strong demand, new product ramps, growth from emerging customers with PMA (premarket approval) products and supply chain improvements. We continued to execute both our product line and operational strategies to position us to deliver on our financial objectives of above market growth, profit growth twice as fast as sales and maintaining our debt leverage between 2.5 and 3.5 times EBITDA.

During 2023, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of InNeuroCo, Inc. and substantially completed our negotiations for the acquisition of Pulse Technologies, the acquisition of which closed in early January 2024. Each of these acquisitions support our growth strategies by increasing Integer’s end-to-end development capabilities and manufacturing footprint in our cardiovascular, structural heart, electrophysiology, cardiac rhythm management and neuromodulation markets.

Performance under the 2023 Short-Term Incentive and Long-Term Incentive Programs. Our 2023 Short- and Long-Term Incentive (“STI” and “LTI”, respectively) programs are market-competitive, performance-based incentive programs, designed to focus our NEOs on key measures of success over multiple time frames, and to align decision making with the interests of stockholders for long-term and sustained growth. As measured under our 2023 STI program, the target level for STI Adjusted Operating Income (“STI AOI”) was set at $222.0 million, which was 18.5% above the 2022 actual STI AOI results. For plan purposes, STI AOI excludes the impact of acquisitions that occurred during the period. Our 2023 STI AOI was $240.5 million, or 108.3% of the target performance goal, resulting in an STI AOI “payout factor” of 141.68%. Bonus payouts for our NEOs were based on STI AOI, a series of strategic objectives (the “ELT Team Goal”), as well as functional and product category performance as appropriate for the respective NEOs. Mr. Garland and Ms. Bolt, who were not employed at year-end, were not eligible for an STI payout. Final payouts to our NEOs ranged from 141% to 145% of target.

The 2023 LTI program for our NEOs was comprised of equity-based awards that vest over three-years, including time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and two separate awards of performance stock units (“PSUs”) that vest based on (i) our year-over-year organic revenue, also referred to as organic sales growth, and (ii) our relative total stockholder return (“rTSR”) as compared to our peer group. The PSUs granted under the 2022 and 2023 LTI programs have three-year performance periods and remain subject to future performance. The PSU awards granted in 2021 were based on rTSR and had a performance period that ended in January 2024. Final rTSR for the 2021 PSUs was at the 92nd percentile, resulting in a payout for rTSR awards at 200%.

During 2023, the Compensation Committee made special stock-based incentive awards described below under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Plan” to Mr. Smith, in connection with his appointment as Interim CFO, and Mr. Khales, in support of both long-term retention efforts and as an incentive to drive long-term stockholder growth. The awards for both Messrs. Smith and Khales are time-based RSUs that require continued employment with Integer.

18 | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Say-on-Pay. At our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders had the opportunity to make an advisory vote on our NEO compensation. The result of this advisory “say-on-pay” vote was overwhelmingly supportive, with 95.5% of votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) voting in favor of our 2022 NEO compensation program. Based on the voting results, we believe our overall executive compensation program is aligned with the interests of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee will consider the results of this year’s say‑on‑pay proposal, as well as feedback from our stockholders, when making future executive compensation decisions.

Compensation Philosophy

Our compensation philosophy is to provide a competitive compensation package that will attract, retain and motivate our executives to drive the Company’s success through high performance and innovation, to link our executives’ compensation to short- and long-term performance of the Company and to align our executives’ compensation with the interests of our stockholders. The compensation programs for our NEOs are designed to be consistent with our compensation philosophy.

Our executive compensation programs include:

•Base salary

•Annual performance-based incentives under our STI program

•Long-term equity incentives, including RSUs and PSUs

•Limited executive perquisites

•Health and welfare benefits

•Retirement savings plans

•Change in control agreements and severance benefits

Total target compensation opportunities are set within the competitive ranges provided by our peers (as discussed below under “Competitive Market Review”) and industry surveys for comparable positions. However, due to the performance-based nature of our program, our executives can realize more, or less, than these target amounts commensurate with the Company’s performance against pre-established short- and long-term goals, individual performance, and additional Compensation Committee considerations. The Compensation Committee believes that this design allows us to attract and retain skilled executives to execute our strategic plans, both in the short- and long-term, while properly aligning our executive officers to our stockholders. The executive compensation program allows the Compensation Committee to respond to the evolving business environment, address individual performance and consider internal and external pay equity.

Compensation Committee Practices and Procedures

The Compensation Committee has direct responsibility for the Company’s compensation practices with appropriate approval and general oversight from the Board. This responsibility includes the determination of compensation levels and awards provided to the Company’s executive leadership team who report to the CEO, which includes all NEOs other than the CEO. The independent members of the Board maintain responsibility for determining the compensation levels and awards provided to the CEO after the Compensation Committee evaluates and reports to the Board on the CEO’s performance results. The Compensation Committee directly engages an independent compensation consulting firm to review the Company’s executive compensation programs and provide guidance on compensation matters and recommendations made by management. In 2023, Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) advised the Compensation Committee on the Company’s executive compensation programs and representatives of FW Cook were present for all regular meetings held by the Compensation Committee, except during select instances when the Compensation Committee met in executive session.

The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of the consulting firm’s independence, including a review of factors outlined by the applicable SEC and NYSE rules. Following the annual review, the Compensation Committee concluded for purposes of 2023 that FW Cook’s work for the Compensation Committee did not raise a conflict of interest.

In 2023, the Compensation Committee evaluated a comprehensive report and analysis by FW Cook regarding executive compensation. For CEO compensation, the Compensation Committee reported its conclusions to the independent members of the Board, who then approved base salary, target bonus percentage and LTI awards for Mr. Dziedzic, our President and CEO, incorporating an evaluation of his individual performance and the Company’s performance during the prior year. Similarly, in February 2024, the independent members of the Board reviewed and approved Mr. Dziedzic’s STI award payout for 2023. For the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee considered the input and recommendations from Mr. Dziedzic regarding performance, base salary adjustments and annual STI and LTI award amounts for each NEO.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 19

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Competitive Market Review

The Compensation Committee compares Company performance and compensation programs against a peer group of companies. Prior to setting compensation for 2023, the Compensation Committee reviewed the make-up of the peer group. Natus Medical, Inc. was removed from the peer group as it was acquired. STERIS plc and West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. were removed as their market capitalizations are significantly in excess of the Company’s market capitalization. The Compensation Committee determined that Envista Holdings Corporation, Globus Medical, Inc., Methode Electronics, Inc., Nordson Corporation and OSI Systems, Inc. would be added to the peer group based on size/financial profile and business fit, for compensation decisions impacting 2023. In selecting the peer group, the Compensation Committee applied the following screening criteria and rationale:

•Public company - ensures availability of market data

•Headquartered in the United States - ensures labor market overlap

•Medical equipment and supplies industry focus (or similarly sized entities who have electronic manufacturing operations) - considers impact of industry practices on compensation amount and design

•Revenue proximity - revenue is a proxy for business complexity and is correlated to compensation

•Market cap - secondary size characteristic and one of the constraints on the aggregate equity award value

The companies included in the peer group for the evaluation of 2023 executive compensation are as follows:

Avanos Medical, Inc.	ICU Medical, Inc.	NuVasive, Inc.
Benchmark Electronics, Inc.	Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation	Orthofix Medical Inc.
Bruker Corporation	Masimo Corporation	OSI Systems, Inc.
CONMED Corporation	Merit Medical Systems, Inc.	Plexus Corp.
Envista Holdings Corporation	Methode Electronics, Inc.	Teleflex Incorporated
Globus Medical, Inc.	Nordson Corporation	Varex Imaging Corporation
Haemonetics Corporation

During 2023, the Compensation Committee reviewed the make-up of the peer group in light of recent corporate transactions among the collective group, and determined that NuVasive, Inc., which was acquired in September 2023, would eventually be removed but would remain in the peer group for evaluating 2024 compensation decisions as the relevant compensation disclosures were still available.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Executive Compensation Pay Mix

The overall mix of base salary, STI and LTI opportunities as a percent of total target direct compensation for our CEO and the average for our other NEOs (who were actively employed at the end of 2023) are illustrated below. The value of the STI is based on target performance. The value of the LTI is based on the target grant date fair value of the regular annual long-term incentives, excluding any special awards. In 2023, special recognition and retention awards were made to Messrs. Smith and Khales. These awards are described below in the section titled “Long-Term Incentive Plan.” All other compensation has been excluded in determining these percentages.

For our CEO, 85% of target direct compensation is variable based on performance (70% for our other NEOs as a group), including financial goals, strategic objectives and stock price:

CEO and Other NEOs’ Target Pay Mix

Base Salary

We provide our NEOs with a fixed level of cash compensation in the form of base salary to provide market competitive pay to attract and retain executives. Base salary is consistent with each NEO’s skill level, experience, knowledge, length of service with our Company and the level of responsibility and complexity of their position. The Compensation Committee does not use a specific formula when setting base salary for our NEOs, but our general practice is to target the competitive market median of our peer group. In addition to the factors listed above, individual base salaries may differ from the median of our peer group with consideration for various other factors including specific responsibilities, relative depth of experience, prior individual performance and expected future contributions, internal pay equity considerations within our Company and the degree of difficulty in replacing the individual.

The base salaries of our NEOs are reviewed by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis, as well as at the time of promotion or significant changes in responsibility.

Effective in March 2023, our NEOs received base pay increases ranging from 3% to 22%. The base salary for Mr. Smith was established in connection with his appointment to CFO. The pay increases varied in order to align base salaries with the desired competitive market position and the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the factors described above.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 21

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The annualized base salary for 2023 and 2022 for each of our NEOs was as follows:

NEO	2023		2022		Increase

(2)Mr. Garland served as Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer until May 8, 2023.

(3)Ms. Bolt served as Executive Vice President, Global Operations and ESG until November 9, 2023.

Short-Term Performance-Based Incentives

The objective of our annual STI program is to provide a competitive level of performance-based annual compensation at the target achievement level, with the opportunity for incentive compensation above target if stretch performance is achieved. Achievement at the 100% target level is deemed to be a “realistic” but challenging goal, and any amount greater than the target is considered a “stretch” goal. Accordingly, performance achievement at target would result in 100% payout of the target STI bonus amount, whereas better performance would result in a higher than target payout, up to 200%, and lower performance would result in a lower than target payout, and no payout if performance fails to reach at least a threshold level. Following the impact of the global pandemic on 2020 results, the Compensation Committee established a wider-than-typical range of achievement to payout ratios and a flatter curve for payout, making the maximum payout more difficult to achieve while reducing the threshold achievement level and corresponding payout percentage. For the 2023 STI goal setting process, the Compensation Committee continued to maintain the same payout curve established for the 2021 year and continued for 2022. The Compensation Committee plans to revisit this approach and annually determine the most appropriate threshold and maximum achievement levels for each STI plan year. The threshold and maximum payouts under the 2023 STI plan can be summarized as follows:

2023 Performance % of Target		Payout % of Target
75%	*	25%
85%		50%
100%		100%
120%		200%

* No payout for performance below the threshold level of 75% performance.

The STI program focuses on key measures of success that the executive team focused on achieving over an annual timeframe. The metrics are intended to provide a balanced view of executive performance on the following dimensions:

•Company-wide financial results (STI AOI), and achievement against various Company-wide strategic initiatives (ELT Team Goal);

•Financial results of the product category for Product Category Presidents (“Product Category Performance”), composed of product category operating profit (31.25% weight), Quality PLA Rate (18.75% weight), inventory days-on-hand (12.5% weight) and on-time delivery measured in terms of delivery-to-promise (12.5% weight), plus strategic objectives identified for each category (25% weight); and

•Function performance rating (“Function Performance Rating”) for leaders of key functions, which focuses on delivering against the leader’s objectives and strategic imperatives and contributions in advancing the Company’s strategy.

22 | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Compensation Committee assessed management’s performance against the 2023 ELT Team Goal, where the strategic objectives consisted of:

•Product line strategy objectives spread across our three product categories: Cardio and Vascular, Cardiac Rhythm Management and Neuromodulation and Electrochem;

•Customer focused objectives including sales force excellence and market focused innovation goals;

•Cost focused objectives including manufacturing excellence and business process excellence goals; and

•Culture focused objectives including leadership capability and performance excellence goals.

In addition, as specified in the 2023 STI program, as part of its overall evaluation of management’s performance against the 2023 ELT Team Goal, the Compensation Committee also took into consideration enhancements made to the Company’s ESG performance relating to these various strategic objectives.

After assessing management’s performance against each of the strategic objectives the Compensation Committee assigned a rating of 100% for the ELT Team Goal.

Product Category Presidents are assigned a weighting of 80% of target STI on their Product Category Performance and 20% of target STI on the ELT Team Goal, which the Compensation Committee believes reflects their respective abilities to influence both product category and Company results. Functional leaders are assigned a weighting of 40% of target STI on Function Performance Rating, 40% of target on STI AOI, and 20% of target on the ELT Team Goal, which the Compensation Committee believes reflects their responsibility to support the Company as a whole. Product Category Performance and Function Performance Ratings are further multiplied by the STI AOI performance factor to determine the final bonus. The Compensation Committee believes that the most appropriate measure of annual performance for the CEO is a weighting of 80% of target on STI AOI and 20% of target on the ELT Team Goal, given that the LTI incentive program design aligns separately to long-term value creation, and that achievement in other categories that are measured will ultimately drive achievement in STI AOI. Mr. Smith’s 2023 STI award reflects a pro-ration between his time spent during 2023 in his previous role and as both Interim Chief Financial Officer and Chief Financial Officer. His pro-rated total STI target value was then multiplied by the respective achievement under the year-end measures and results, resulting in a total payout as indicated in the table below.

Actual achievement for the 2023 STI AOI was $240.5 million, compared to a target goal of $222 million, resulting in a payout factor of 141.68% of target.

Mr. Garland and Ms. Bolt were not eligible to receive payouts under the 2023 STI program. The chart below illustrates the weighting and achievement for each of the STI program components, for each of the active NEOs:

	Company Performance  (STI AOI)		Function Performance Rating			Product Category Performance(1)(2)		ELT Team Goal		Total Payout

2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 23

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

STI AOI (as defined below) is the key STI metric:

•Integer must achieve the threshold STI AOI metric for any STI payments to be made; and

•STI AOI is used as a payout multiplier for all other metrics.

The Compensation Committee believes that the design of the funding and performance metrics are aligned with the Company’s strategic objective of growing revenue and profitability and is therefore directly aligned with the interests of stockholders.

The goals and results of the STI AOI component under the 2023 STI program were as follows:

	STI AOI (in millions)	2023 Performance versus Target	Payout Percentage
Performance Level	$166.5	75% (Threshold)	25%
	$188.7	85%	50%
	$222.0	100% (Target)	100%
	$266.4	120% (Maximum)	200%
Results	$240.5	108.3%	141.68%

STI AOI for purposes of the 2023 STI performance metric consists of consolidated operating income prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, adjusted for the following: to the extent occurring during the period: (i) acquisition and integration related charges and expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets, (iii) facility consolidation, optimization, manufacturing transfer and system integration charges, (iv) asset write-down and disposition charges, (v) charges in connection with corporate realignments or a reduction in force, (vi) certain legal expenses, and (vii) unusual or infrequently occurring items. As of October 1, 2023, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of InNeuroCo, Inc. (“InNeuroCo”). The calculation of 2023 STI AOI also excludes the post-acquisition results of InNeuroCo in order to level set the results for purposes of the 2023 STI performance calculation. The Compensation Committee approved the categories for adjustments at the beginning of the performance period and reviews and approves the actual performance as approved by our Audit Committee and published in our quarterly earnings press releases.

24 | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Product category performance metrics and associated goal setting are described below:

Metric	Weighting(1)	Metric Definition	Goal Setting Description
Product Category Operating Profit	31.25%	Operating profit at the product category level is defined as revenue less operating expenses (i.e. direct material, labor, overhead, etc.).	Target performance is determined as part of the annual budgeting process, with threshold and maximum levels of performance set at 25% below and 20% above the target level, respectively.
Quality PLA Rate	18.75%	Our quality metric is based on product lot customer acceptance rates and the aging of corrective and preventative actions (CAPAs). CAPA is a core ISO13485 quality system element and also mandated by the regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, European Union and many other geographies, for the design and manufacture of medical devices.	Product lot customer acceptance rates at target are based on targeted improvement over the prior year. Threshold level of performance is generally based on attaining a minimum level of performance with maximum defined as approaching 100% customer acceptance. Various levels of achievement are defined at specific growth achievements in the measured lot acceptance rate. Payout is voided regardless of quality performance if any CAPAs are aged above the maximum acceptable number of days at year-end.
Inventory Days-On-Hand	12.50%	The average value of all materials in inventory divided by the average value of materials used in a single day.	A lean manufacturing tool, a Plan For Every Part (“PFEP”), allows Integer to compute the right amount of inventory per item and provide an entitlement based on the recommended minimum and maximum targets. A combination of lean manufacturing tools, continuous improvement plans, and ERP projections are used to calculate targets by site, product category, and company. A Days-On-Hand threshold (50% payout) and target (100% payout) are set. Over-target payouts require achieving the Days-On-Hand target plus attaining a specified PFEP goal for a 150% payout and 100% PFEP attainment for maximum (200% payout).
On-Time Delivery-to-Promise	12.50%	On-time delivery is measured as the percentage of orders shipped on time.	Targeted level of performance is based on an established percentage improvement over the prior year, threshold performance is based on attaining 50% of targeted improvement, and maximum level of performance is defined as approaching 100% on-time shipment.
Category Challenge Metric	25.00%	Each production site has a challenge objective assigned, which could include additional weighting on the existing metrics above, and/or other operational metrics critical to that site. For the C&V category, the average of all site achievements is used for the category score.	If the Category Challenge Metric is computed by assigning additional weighting to the above referenced metrics, the same methodology described above is used herein. If the Category Challenge Metric is computed using operation metrics critical to a site, appropriate threshold, target and maximum level of performance are assigned.

(1) Percent of Product Category Performance measure.

Leaders of key functions are assigned Function Performance Ratings, generally reflecting the groups successes and contributions to the business strategies over the performance year. For Messrs. Smith, Marshall and Thor, a function performance rating of 100% for each of the Finance, Legal and Human Resources functions were assigned. The function performance rating is then subject to the STI AOI multiplier.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The individual target STI bonuses for our NEOs were determined by the Compensation Committee to provide targeted total compensation at the median of our competitive market. The target and actual payouts for our NEOs for 2023 were as follows:

NEO	Salary Earned ($)	Bonus Target as % of Salary Earned (%)	Target STI ($)	% of Target Earned (%)	STI Earned ($)
Joseph W. Dziedzic	1,227,596	110	1,350,356	141.68	1,913,184

McAlister Marshall	430,481	65	279,813	141.68	396,438
Kirk Thor	396,827	65	257,938	141.68	365,446

(1) Mr. Smith’s eligible earnings reflect a pro-ration of his time as Vice President, Finance at a 35% annual incentive target and both Interim Chief Financial Officer and EVP & Chief Financial Officer at a 70% annual incentive target.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

Our LTI plan is the largest component of our executive officers’ target total direct compensation and is administered by the Compensation Committee in collaboration with management, subject to general oversight by the Board. LTI awards are a key component of our compensation program and are designed to align management’s performance incentives and pay outcomes with our stockholders' interests in value creation.

The table below presents a summary of our 2023 LTI program:

	RSUs	rTSR PSUs	Financial PSUs
Percent of Total LTI Value	33.3%	33.3%	33.3%
Vest or Performance Period	3-year ratable vesting	3-year performance period with cliff vesting	3-year performance period with cliff vesting
Performance Metric	N/A	Relative TSR versus peer group	Organic Revenue Growth
Potential Payout as a % of Target	N/A	Threshold 50% Maximum 200%	Threshold 50% Maximum 200%

LTI awards made to our NEOs in 2023 under the regular award cycle were comprised of RSUs, rTSR PSUs and financial PSUs (each weighted at one-third of total grant value). The Compensation Committee approved (and in the case of the CEO, the independent members of the Board approved) LTI award values for each of the NEOs at its January 2023 meeting. The Compensation Committee will continue to assess appropriate metrics for our LTI program on an annual basis.

The time-based RSUs awarded under the annual compensation cycle vest one-third annually beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

The rTSR PSUs are eligible to be earned and vest based on the Company’s rTSR rank versus our peer group over a three-year period as follows:

3-Year TSR Rank Versus Peer Group	Achievement Level	Vesting Amount as a % of Target
75th Percentile	Maximum	200%
55th Percentile	Target	100%
25th Percentile	Threshold	50%

For purposes of calculating TSR under the 2023 PSUs, the stock price averaging period used is the 20-trading day period overlapping the grant date, with the grant date representing the 10th trading day in that window. In calculating actual achievement under rTSR PSUs, dividends are deemed to have been reinvested on the ex-dividend date, and peer group companies whose stock permanently ceased to trade during the performance period are disregarded.

26 | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The financial PSUs are eligible to be earned and subsequently vest based on the Company’s achievement of organic revenue growth, as measured against the previous year, including each year within the three-year performance period. Following the performance period, the vesting percentage for each year is averaged over the entire performance period to determine the payout. Potential payouts range from 50% at threshold to 200% of target at maximum achievement. There is no payout for performance below threshold. Award payments are capped at target if the three-year performance compound annual growth rate does not exceed target growth during the entire period.

Annual LTI award values are intended to be consistent with those provided by our peer companies for comparable executive positions. Grant values are reviewed on an individual basis and can be adjusted based on individual performance and expected future contributions. During 2023, the Compensation Committee (or in the case of the CEO, the independent members of the Board) approved annual LTI awards for our NEOs for the three-year period beginning in 2023 as noted in the table that follows, after considering total target award values and the CEO’s feedback on the executive leadership team, other than himself:

NEO	Time-Based RSUs Grant Value ($)	Financial PSUs Grant Value ($)	rTSR PSUs Grant Value ($)	Total 2023 LTI Grant Value ($)
Joseph W. Dziedzic	1,833,333	1,833,333	1,833,334	5,500,000
Diron Smith(1)	65,000	32,500	32,500	130,000
Payman Khales(2)	300,000	300,000	300,000	900,000
McAlister Marshall	160,000	160,000	160,000	480,000
Kirk Thor	181,667	181,667	181,666	545,000
Jason K. Garland(3)	508,333	508,333	508,334	1,525,000
Jennifer M. Bolt(3)	191,667	191,667	191,666	575,000

(1)    Mr. Smith’s annual LTI award reflects his position at the time of the award of Vice President, Finance. As discussed below, Mr Smith received an additional equity award having a grant date fair value of $500,000 in conjunction with his appointment to the position of Interim Chief Financial Officer in May 2023.

(2)    In addition to Mr. Khales’ annual LTI award described in the table, he also received an additional equity award having a grant date fair value of $2,000,000, as described below.

(3)     These awards were forfeited upon their respective termination dates.

Additional Equity-Based Compensation for Mr. Smith and Mr. Khales

In addition to the annual LTI program, our executive officers may receive additional equity-based compensation at the date of hire, upon promotion, for special recognition or upon a significant change in responsibility. Such awards are typically used as a recruiting, recognition, and/or retention tool.

In February 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a special award of time-based RSUs having a grant date fair value of $2,000,000 for Mr. Khales, in recognition of his exemplary performance and leadership during the pandemic and post-pandemic recovery period and to support long-term retention. This award will vest entirely on the third anniversary of the grant date. In addition, the Compensation Committee also extended the vesting schedule for the special long-term incentive award of time-based RSUs granted to Mr. Khales in November of 2022, from three-year annual vesting to also vest in full on February 24, 2026. Both of these special awards for Mr. Khales are subject to his continued employment.

In May 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a special award of time-based RSUs having a grant date fair value of $500,000 for Mr. Smith, in conjunction with his appointment to the position of Interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Smith’s award will vest in three equal installments, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The award for Mr. Smith is subject to his continued employment.

Separation Arrangement for Mr. Garland

Mr. Garland separated from the Company on May 8, 2023. His departure constituted a termination by the Company other than for “Cause,” and he was provided a severance payment of $571,000, equal to one-year base salary, plus $16,531 for the assumed amount of the Company’s contribution toward health insurance benefits for twelve months. The Company also provided outplacement services for Mr. Garland with a value of $4,275.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 27

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Separation Arrangement for Ms. Bolt

Ms. Bolt separated from the Company on November 9, 2023. Her departure constituted a termination by the Company other than for “Cause,” and she was provided a severance payment of $468,000, equal to one-year base salary, plus $16,536 for the assumed amount of the Company’s contribution toward health insurance benefits for twelve months. The Company also provided outplacement services for Ms. Bolt with a value of $4,275.

Vesting of 2021 Performance Stock Units

As discussed in prior proxy statements, during 2021 the Company’s LTI program for NEOs included rTSR PSUs. The program design for those units was based around a performance-period that measured the Company’s relative TSR beginning with the twenty-day average stock price surrounding the grant date (January 22, 2021) and ending with the twenty-day average stock price (including assumed reinvestment of dividends, if any) surrounding the third anniversary of the grant date (January 22, 2024). The program goals for achievement and payout, measured as a percentile achievement against the then-peer group at the time of award, with 0% of the target shares vesting for performance below the 25th percentile, 50% of the target shares to vest at the 25th percentile, 100% of the target shares to vest at the 55th percentile, and 200% of the target shares to vest at or above the 75th percentile, with straight line interpolation between those goals. At its meeting in February 2024, the Compensation Committee certified that the rTSR for the performance period was at the 92nd percentile, resulting in 200% of the target shares being earned for the 2021 rTSR PSUs. The vesting date for this award occurred during 2024, and as such, these shares do not appear in the “Shares Vested During 2023” table below.

Vesting of 2022 Equity-Based Performance Units for Mr. Dziedzic

In March 2022, our Board approved a special award of PSUs having a grant date fair value of $4,000,000 (the “Special PSU Award”) for Mr. Dziedzic. The actual number of PSUs that vest will be between 0% and 200% of the target number of PSUs based upon the satisfaction of both (a) a stock price performance vesting condition which must be achieved by the 5th anniversary of the grant, and (b) a two-year service-based vesting condition. For the stock price performance vesting condition, the target is set at a stock price of $100.00 (28% above the $78.09 closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant) and maximum is set at $120.00 (54% above the closing price on the date of grant). For the purpose of measuring goal achievement, stock price is based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE for 20 consecutive trading days. Settlement of any vested PSUs into shares of the Company’s common stock is deferred for a period of twelve months after the relevant vesting date.

On January 19, 2024, the 20 consecutive trading day average for the Company's common stock was $100.19 and therefore, the target number of shares (36,202) were earned and will vest, subject to continued employment, on March 11, 2024. The additional 36,202 shares, representing the additional payout at maximum performance, continue to remain subject to potential future vesting if the closing price for the Company's common stock achieves the 20 consecutive trading day average of $120.00.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OTHER FEATURES OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Compensation Recoupment Policy

The Company has adopted an incentive compensation recoupment, or “clawback,” policy intended to be consistent with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. During 2023, the Compensation Committee conducted a review of new SEC requirements and NYSE listing standards and approved revisions to the policy intended to maintain the policy’s compliance with such standards. This policy provides that, in the event we are required to restate our financial statements, we will recover from our current and former executive officers incentive compensation which was received based upon the achievement of financial results to the extent that the amounts of such compensation would have been lower had it been determined on the restated amounts.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

In order to align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders and to promote our commitment to sound corporate governance, we maintain stock ownership guidelines under which our executive officers are required to hold a meaningful dollar value of common stock of the Company for the duration of their employment. For purposes of measuring compliance with these guidelines, shares of common stock owned directly or indirectly by the executive officer or his or her immediate family members, as well as 75% of unvested time-based restricted stock and restricted stock units issued under our LTI programs are considered shares “owned.” Executive officers covered under the program are required to attain their individual guideline within five years of appointment to their respective positions, or within three years if promoted to that role after having been in a lower position that was also covered under the program. Shares underlying unexercised stock options and unvested performance-based awards do not count toward satisfying the guidelines. The Compensation Committee reviews stock ownership levels of our executive officers on an annual basis with the expectation of seeing meaningful progress toward the achievement of the ownership guideline.

The following table provides the guideline ownership multiple for our current NEOs. As of March 25, 2024, our NEOs (which excludes Mr. Garland and Ms. Bolt, whose employment terminated prior to this date) are in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines. Messrs. Dziedzic, Khales and Thor have attained their individual guidelines and Messrs. Smith and Marshall are within the requisite period to attain their individual guidelines.

NEO	Multiple of Base Salary
Joseph W. Dziedzic	5x
Diron Smith	2.5x
Payman Khales	2.5x
McAlister Marshall	2.5x
Kirk Thor	2.5x

Pledging and Hedging Policy

Our policy is to prohibit directors, executive officers and other associates from engaging in pledging, short sales or other short-position transactions in Company securities. Under the terms of our insider trading policy, we also prohibit directors, executive officers and other associates from engaging in any hedging or monetization transactions with respect to Company securities, such as exchange funds, prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, puts, calls, collars, forwards and other derivative instruments, or through establishing a short position in Company securities. We prohibit these types of hedging and monetization transactions as they allow a person to continue to own Company securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership.

Perquisites

In addition to the elements of compensation discussed above, we also provide senior level executives (including the NEOs) with limited other perquisites as follows:

•Executive life insurance

•Executive long-term disability insurance

•Executive physicals

•Executive relocation (No NEO received executive relocation benefits in 2023)

2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 29

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

We provide these benefits to remain competitive with the market and believe that these benefits help us to attract and retain high caliber executives. These benefits also reduce the amount of time and attention that our executive officers must spend on personal matters and allow them to dedicate more time to the Company. For NEOs who we ask to relocate to commence work with us, we provide benefits under our relocation program to help offset the additional costs of the relocation, including the shipment of household goods, travel, temporary housing, and other allowances, other relocation expenses, and certain tax gross-up payments. We believe that these benefits are reasonable in nature, are not excessive and are in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Other Benefits. Our executive officers also participate in other Company benefit plans on the same terms as other associates of the Company. Some of these benefits include medical, dental and vision insurance, and paid time off.

Retirement Benefits

All of our U.S. based associates, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in a defined contribution Company 401(k) Plan. The Company 401(k) Plan provides for the deferral of associate compensation up to the maximum IRC limit and a Company match. In 2023, this match for the Company 401(k) Plan was $0.50 per dollar, up to 6% of the associate’s eligible compensation, which includes base salary and cash bonuses, for each participant in the Company 401(k) Plan.

The Company also offers the Integer Holdings Corporation Retirement Savings Restoration Plan (the “Restoration Plan”), which is intended to restore retirement benefits on substantially the same formula as the Company 401(k) Plan that were disallowed due to statutory limits. The Restoration Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation plan that is designed to allow for deferrals that are in addition to those available to eligible officers under the Company’s 401(k) plan. Participation in the Restoration Plan is limited to executives employed in the United States at a level of vice president and above who are selected for participation in the Restoration Plan by the Compensation Committee.

Change in Control Agreements and Severance Benefits

We maintain change in control agreements for a very limited number of key executives, including our NEOs, other than Mr. Dziedzic (whose change in control severance benefits are contained in his employment agreement described below), in an effort to retain our leadership in the event of a change in control and also to provide these executives with appropriate financial security in case of a loss of employment. These agreements only provide benefits to participants if there is both a change in control of the Company and a qualifying termination of employment. We believe that it is in the best interest of our Company and stockholders to have the dedication of our executive officers, without the distraction of personal uncertainties that can result following a change in control. We believe these agreements allow for a smooth transition in the event of a change in control without providing “windfall” benefits. We also believe that these benefits are competitive with those of comparable companies, including our peer group.

For more information on severance benefits, as well as those provided under our change in control agreements, see the “Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control” section of this proxy statement.

Employment Agreements

In general, we do not offer employment agreements to our associates other than offer letters that specify the level of compensation and provide for severance benefits in the event of termination of employment under specified circumstances. None of our NEOs, other than Mr. Dziedzic, our President and CEO, have an employment agreement other than their offer letter.

The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Dziedzic on July 16, 2017. The employment agreement has an initial term that expired on July 16, 2020, subject to automatic one-year renewal periods. Accordingly, Mr. Dziedzic’s employment agreement has renewed automatically for additional one-year periods on the anniversary date in each year subsequent to the expiration of the initial term. In addition to the perquisites discussed in this section, Mr. Dziedzic’s employment agreement includes the following terms:

•A base salary, subject to annual review.

•Eligibility to participate in the Company’s cash and equity-based incentive award programs available to the Company’s executive officers.

•In the event of death or permanent disability: a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary and the amount of the Company’s contribution toward his health and medical benefits for a 12-month period; and the immediate vesting of all time-based equity awards and the continuation of all performance awards, subject to achievement of the performance metrics.

•In the event of termination without cause or with good reason, other than in connection with a change in control (“CIC”): a lump sum payment equal to 2x base salary; and the immediate vesting of all time-based equity awards and the continuation of a prorated number of performance awards, subject to achievement of the performance metrics.

•In the event of termination without cause or with good reason in connection with a CIC:

Compensation Risk Analysis

The preceding CD&A generally describes our compensation policies, plans and practices that are applicable for NEOs and senior executives of the Company. However, for the vast majority of our employee compensation plans and programs, the Company uses a combination of fixed and variable and short- and long-term compensation programs with a significant focus on corporate and business financial performance as generally described in this proxy statement. Following the completion of an annual risk assessment, the Company concluded, and the Compensation Committee concurred that risks arising from its employee compensation policies, plans or practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Compensation and Organization Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis, or CD&A, with management and based upon this review and discussion, recommended to the Board that the CD&A be included in this proxy statement for filing with the SEC.

Respectively submitted by the Compensation and Organization Committee,

(1)Amounts shown for 2023 represent prorated salaries paid during 2023 considering the March 2023 effective date of increases for all NEOs, and Mr. Smith’s appointment as CFO, as described in the CD&A under “Base Salary.”

(2)Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of awards determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The valuation of RSUs and PSUs are based on the assumptions and methodology set forth in notes 1 and 10 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024. Grant date fair value reflected in the Stock Awards column is, for RSUs, based on the grant date fair value of the underlying shares and, for PSUs, based on the grant date fair value of the underlying shares and the probable outcome of performance-based vesting conditions. Assuming we meet or exceed maximum performance levels for each of the performance metrics for the 2023 PSUs, in which case all PSUs granted will convert into a number of shares of common stock equal to twice the number of PSUs granted, Messrs. Dziedzic, Smith, Khales, Marshall and Thor would receive shares of common stock worth $7,329,425, $130,016, $1,199,382, $639,542 and $726,219, respectively, based on the grant date closing price of our common stock of $74.21 for grants awarded on January 20, 2023. The performance units granted to Mr. Garland and Ms. Bolt in 2023 were forfeited upon their respective terminations.

(3)Amounts for 2023 reflect the amount earned under the 2023 STI program, which were paid in March 2024.

Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

The following tables and accompanying narrative disclosures summarize the potential payments and other benefits required to be made available to the NEOs in connection with a termination of their employment or a change in control (as defined in the applicable document). Payments or other benefits under benefit plans and policies that apply equally to all salaried employees participating in such plans are not included below. Defined terms such as “cause” and “good reason” used in this section are described under “Defined Terms Used in this Section” below.

Other than for Mr. Dziedzic, upon the death or permanent disability of an associate, all time-based equity awards immediately vest and all outstanding PSUs immediately vest at the target level applicable to such performance-based awards. All vested stock options expire at various times following the event, no later than one year, based upon the terms of the plan from which they were awarded. In the event of Mr. Dziedzic’s death or permanent disability, all time-based equity awards immediately vest and all outstanding PSUs will continue in effect and become vested, subject to achievement of the performance metrics.

Other than for Mr. Dziedzic, in the event that an associate’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, a pro-rata portion of such associate’s PSUs that were awarded more than one year before the date of termination will remain outstanding and any PSUs awarded less than one year prior to the date of termination will automatically be forfeited. All unvested time-based awards are forfeited. In the event that Mr. Dziedzic’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or Mr. Dziedzic resigns his employment with good reason, a pro-rata portion of all PSUs will remain outstanding.

All unvested time-based awards will immediately vest.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As discussed under “Other Features of Our Executive Compensation Program,” we have entered into change in control agreements with our NEOs, other than Mr. Dziedzic. The change in control agreements provide for continued employment with the same base salary, annual cash incentive and benefits for two years following a change in control. Our change in control agreements only provide severance benefits if there is both a change in control of the Company and qualifying termination of employment. If the executive is terminated after the change in control, other than for death, disability or cause, or the executive terminates employment for good reason, then the executive will be entitled to certain severance payments and benefits. The most significant components of these severance benefits are as follows:

•two times annual base salary;

•two times the greater of (i) average cash bonus for the three-year period prior to the year of the change in control or (ii) current year annual cash incentive award at the target level;

•two times the Company’s total contributions to the Company 401(k) Plan or any other similar plans in effect at the time, for the year preceding the termination;

•$25,000 for outplacement services;

•a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (i) 110% of the monthly premium for medical and prescription drug coverage for the most recent complete month of medical and prescription drug coverage for the executive, his or her spouse and his or her eligible dependents who were covered under the Company’s medical and prescription drug plans immediately prior to date of termination, times (ii) 24;

•immediate vesting of all time-based equity awards and performance-based equity awards, except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement; and

•reimbursement of relocation expenses following the change in control if the Company had relocated the associate at the Company’s request in the calendar year prior to the change in control. Expenses reimbursed are capped at the cost of relocating the associate to the original place of his or her residence.

Our change in control agreements provide executives with a best after-tax provision (i.e., the executive’s payment will be scaled back to the golden parachute safe harbor if the executive is better off on an after-tax basis) and include a 24 month post-employment non-compete covenant.

For a discussion of what Mr. Dziedzic would be eligible to receive upon the occurrence of a change in control under the terms of his employment agreement, please see the discussion under the “Employment Agreements” section of the CD&A.

For incentive awards granted under our 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, in the event of a change in control, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to the terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the continuation or assumption of the awards by the successor or surviving entity to the change in control; (ii) provide for the substitution or replacement of the awards by the successor or surviving entity or its parent; (iii) accelerate the vesting of the awards; (iv) determine the level of attainment for performance awards; or (v) cancel the awards in consideration of a cancellation payment equal to the value of the cancelled awards.

For incentive awards granted under our 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, in the event of a change in control, as defined in the applicable award plan or agreement, unless determined otherwise by the Compensation Committee, all unvested stock option awards, time-based RSUs and Financial PSUs granted will immediately vest, but only the portion of unvested rTSR PSUs that otherwise would have vested based on performance through the date of the change in control will immediately vest. While our equity award plans provide for single trigger vesting with respect to awards made prior to January 1, 2020, our change in control agreements with our NEOs and Mr. Dziedzic’s employment agreement require both a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment to receive the severance cash payments and other benefits provided under those agreements.

40 | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As described in previous year proxy filings, the Company has eliminated single trigger vesting upon a change in control with respect to incentive awards made on or after January 1, 2020. The Company also made corresponding revisions to its RSU and PSU award agreements for awards to be made on or after January 1, 2020. The revised award agreements provide that, if an associate is provided a qualifying replacement award in connection with a change in control, then he or she will not automatically vest in any outstanding RSUs or PSUs upon the occurrence of the change in control. In the case of any unvested RSUs that vest based solely on the associate remaining employed by the Company through one or more dates, the associate will generally vest in the qualifying replacement award at the same time he or she otherwise would have vested in the RSU. In the case of any unvested PSU that vests based on the achievement of performance goals, the number of PSUs that would be earned based on achievement of the performance goals as of the date of the change in control will be converted to RSUs that generally vest based solely on the associate’s continued employment through the end of original performance period. If, during the 24-month period following the change in control, an associate is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, the associate will vest in any qualifying replacement award. A qualifying replacement award means an RSU award covering equity securities of the Company, the surviving company to the change in control, or the ultimate parent of the surviving company to the change in control that are readily tradeable on a major national securities exchange, and the terms of which are at least as favorable to the associate as the award being replaced.

Based upon the hypothetical termination date of December 31, 2023, following a change in control and assuming a termination without cause or resignation by an NEO with good reason, the benefits for our NEOs would be as follows:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

CEO Pay Ratio

SEC rules require disclosure of (i) the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of the Company, except the CEO; (ii) the annual total compensation of the CEO; and (iii) the ratio of annual total compensation for the CEO to the annual total compensation for the median employee of the Company. Because the SEC rules do not mandate a required approach for determining the median employee, the Company employed the following methodology:

•Used 2023 taxable compensation as of December 31, 2023, or as of the last payroll cycle of the fiscal year within each respective country that we operate. In some of the countries in which we operate this date varied slightly based on local payroll schedules, but not materially.

•Used the consistently applied compensation measure to determine the median employee taxable compensation, W-2, box 1 amounts in the United States, and closest available equivalent measure of taxable compensation outside the United States.

•We included employees in all countries where we are present, which totaled 4,387 U.S. employees and 6,064 non-U.S. employees.

•To express the earnings of employees outside the United States in U.S. dollars, we used foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2023, as published by the United States Treasury.

•We did not annualize the pay of employees who were not employed by us for the entire fiscal year.

As calculated using the methodology required for preparation of the Summary Compensation Table, the annual total compensation of Mr. Dziedzic was $8,738,497 and the annual total compensation of the median employee was $39,727, resulting in a ratio of 220 to 1.

The Company’s pay ratio described above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S–K based upon the Company’s payroll and employment records and the methodologies described above. The SEC rules permit companies to employ various methodologies, exclusions and reasonable estimates to derive the pay ratio calculation representative of their respective employee populations and compensation practices. Based upon this variability, the estimated ratio reported above should not be interpreted as a basis for comparison between companies.

(7)Organic Revenue Growth is reported sales growth adjusted to remove the impact of foreign currency, acquisitions and strategic exits. To calculate the impact of foreign currency on sales growth rates, we convert any sale made in a foreign currency by converting current period sales into prior period sales using the exchange rate in effect at that time and then compare the two, negating any effect foreign currency had on our transactional revenue. For acquisitions, we exclude the impact on the growth rate attributable to the contribution of acquisitions in all periods where there were no comparable sales. For strategic exits, for all periods presented we exclude the impact on the growth rate attributable to sales from the market being exited.

Description of Relationship Between Pay and Performance

The tables above and described relationships following this section contain the required disclosures under the Dodd Frank Act. Reference to this information should take into consideration the following significant factors:

•Target pay decisions are typically made toward the beginning of each calendar year with consideration for the Company’s previous year’s performance, and the design of our compensation platforms is intended to reward performance actually achieved.

•For the year 2020, the prescribed calculation of CAP, for both the PEO and the Average Non-PEO NEO, reflects the substantial negative impact of pandemic-related business disruption on multiple years of PSU awards, including: the forfeiture of the three-year revenue PSUs granted in 2018, the expected forfeiture of the 2019 revenue PSUs and the reduced forecast for payout of the 2020 revenue PSUs.

•For the year 2021, the prescribed calculation of CAP, for both the PEO and the Average Non-PEO NEO, reflects the forfeiture of the rTSR PSUs granted in 2019 and the forfeiture of the 2020 revenue PSUs.

•For the year 2022, the prescribed calculation of CAP for the PEO includes the year-end fair value of a one-time special award granted in that year, which will only be realized if and when the Company’s stock price reaches certain targets. This special award was granted as a means to retain Mr. Dziedzic, provide a compelling upside opportunity beyond the Company’s regular executive compensation program, and recognize Mr. Dziedzic’s instrumental role and leadership in the Company’s achievements during his term of service. The prescribed calculation of CAP for the Average Non-PEO NEO includes special awards made to Messrs. Garland and Khales as a means to retain them and provide a compelling upside opportunity beyond the Company’s regular executive compensation program, and recognize their instrumental roles and exemplary leadership.

•For the year 2023, the prescribed calculation of CAP for the Average Non-PEO NEO includes a special award made to Mr. Khales as a means to retain him and provide a compelling upside opportunity beyond the Company’s regular executive compensation program and recognize his instrumental role and exemplary leadership and a special award made to Mr. Smith in conjunction with his appointment to the position of Interim Chief Financial Officer.

For a detailed description of our executive compensation program designs, please see the CD&A.

Relationship Between Pay and Company-Selected Performance Measure

The following describes the relationship between the PEO CAP and the Average Non-PEO NEO CAP (collectively referred to as “NEO CAP”) and organic revenue growth percentage (Integer’s company selected measure) for the Company. This metric is used in our PSU awards.

•Generally, as our organic revenue growth performance exceeds or is projected to exceed target performance, CAP will increase (holding share price constant), and when organic revenue growth is less than or is projected to be less than target performance, CAP will decrease (holding share price constant).

•For the year 2020, the decline in organic revenue resulted in the forfeiture of the three-year revenue PSUs granted in 2018, the expected forfeiture of the 2019 revenue PSUs and the reduced forecast for payout of the 2020 revenue PSUs, contributing to a significantly lower level of CAP than had the performance expected at the start of the year been achieved.

•For the year 2021, although organic revenue growth improved, the growth did not recover enough from the prior year’s decline to prevent a revised forecast of forfeiture for the 2020 revenue PSUs, which previously were forecasted to have a partial payout, contributing to a lower level of CAP than had the performance expected at the start of the year been achieved.

•The Company did not grant revenue PSUs in 2021 but resumed granting revenue PSUs in 2022.

•For the year 2022, organic revenue growth performance did not recover enough to result in any payout of the 2020 revenue PSUs, and they were ultimately forfeited.

•For the year 2023, organic revenue growth exceeded target and therefore, the projected payout of the 2022 revenue PSUs improved contributing to a higher level of CAP than had target performance been achieved.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Relationship Between Pay and Net Income

The following describes the relationship between NEO CAP and net income for the Company. Net Income is not a metric in our incentive plans, however, a closely correlated measure, STI AOI, was used to fund our short-term incentive plan in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. The Company sets its target achievement level based on a realistic but challenging goal, intended to drive stockholder value growth.

•For the year 2020, STI AOI was less than target. Therefore, the Compensation Committee used their discretion to assign an 80.0% payout factor contributing to a lower level of CAP than had target performance been achieved.

•For the year 2021, STI AOI was less than target. Therefore, the Compensation Committee applied the plan formula to assign a 78.1% payout factor contributing to a lower level of CAP than had target performance been achieved.

•For the year 2022, STI AOI was less than target. Therefore, the Compensation Committee applied the plan formula to assign a 58.3% payout factor contributing to a lower level of CAP than had target performance been achieved.

•For the year 2023, STI AOI was more than target. Therefore, the Compensation Committee applied the plan formula to assign a 141.7% payout factor contributing to a higher level of CAP than had target performance been achieved.

Relationship Between Pay and Company TSR

The following describes the relationship between NEO CAP and TSR for the Company.

•For the year 2020, stock price increased during the year from $80.43 to $81.19. This generally increased the value of the prior years’ grants contributing to a higher CAP than had stock price remained flat. However, the year-end stock price was less than the stock price on the date of the annual grant, $85.40, resulting in less than the grant date fair value being included in CAP for the then current year’s grants.

•For the year 2021, stock price increased during the year from $81.19 to $85.59. This generally increased the value of the prior years’ grants contributing to a higher CAP than had the stock price remained flat. Additionally, the year-end stock price was higher than the stock price on the date of the annual grant, $79.05, resulting in more than the grant date fair value being included in CAP for the then current year’s grants.

•For the year 2022, stock price decreased during the year from $85.59 to $68.46. This generally decreased the value of prior years’ grants contributing to a lower CAP than had the stock price remained flat. Additionally, the year-end stock price was less than the stock price on the date of the annual grant, $79.76, resulting in less than the grant date fair value being included in CAP for the then current year’s grants.

•For the year 2023, stock price increased during the year from $68.46 to $99.08. This generally increased the value of the prior years’ grants contributing to a higher CAP than had the stock price remained flat. Additionally, the year-end stock price was higher than the stock price on the date of the annual grant, $74.21, resulting in more than the grant date fair value being included in CAP for the then current year’s grants.

Additionally, the following components of our executive compensation program provide a further connection between TSR and CAP.

•One-third of our regular annual long-term incentive award for each of our NEOs is based on our relative TSR performance versus the peer group used for executive compensation benchmarking purposes, as listed in the Competitive Market Review section of the CD&A. In order to vest at target our three-year TSR performance must be at the 55th percentile of this peer group. The Compensation Actually Paid reflects the year-end valuation, based on expected payout, for awards unvested at year-end, and the actual value at payout when awards vest.

•The special award granted to our CEO in March 2022 requires that our stock price increases 28% for target payout, and 54% for maximum payout over the closing stock price on the date of grant, in addition to the two-year service-based vesting condition.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

The business of the Company is managed under the direction of the Board. The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) that reflect the Company’s commitment to good corporate governance. The full text of the Guidelines can be accessed under the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website at www.integer.net under “Corporate Governance.”

The Company’s Code of Conduct applies to its directors, officers, associates and consultants. The Code of Conduct requires that individuals avoid conflicts of interest, comply with all laws and other legal requirements, conduct business in an honest and ethical manner and otherwise act with integrity and in the best interests of the Company. In addition, the Code of Conduct encourages individuals to report any illegal or unethical behavior that they observe. The Code of Conduct is a guide to help ensure that all such individuals live up to the highest ethical standards. The Company provides all of its associates with a copy of the Company’s Code of Conduct and requires all associates to certify that they are responsible for reading and familiarizing themselves with the Code of Conduct, and adhering to its policies and procedures.

Leadership Structure of the Board

The positions of Chair of the Board and CEO have been separate since August 2006. The Board believes this structure continues to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Chair of the Board organizes Board activities to enable the Board to effectively provide guidance to and have oversight of and accountability for management. To fulfill that role, the Chair of the Board, among other things, creates and maintains an effective working relationship with the CEO and other members of management and with the other members of the Board, provides the CEO ongoing direction as to Board needs, interests and opinions, and assures that the Board agenda is appropriately directed to the matters of greatest importance to the Company. In carrying out his or her responsibilities, the Chair of the Board preserves the distinction between management and oversight, maintaining the responsibility of management to develop corporate strategy and the responsibility of the Board to review and express its views on corporate strategy. The functions of the Chair of the Board include:

•Presiding over all meetings of the Board and stockholders, including regular executive sessions of non-management directors of the Board;

•Establishing the annual agenda of the Board and agendas of each meeting in consultation with the CEO;

•Advising committee chairs, in consultation with the CEO, on meeting schedules, agendas and information needs for the Board committees;

•Defining the subject matter, quality, quantity and timeliness of the flow of information between management and the Board and overseeing the distribution of that information;

•Coordinating periodic review of management’s strategic plan and enterprise risk management program for the Company;

•Leading the Board review of the succession plan for the CEO and other key members of senior management;

•Coordinating the annual performance review of the CEO and other key senior managers;

•Consulting with committee chairs about the retention of advisors and experts;

•Acting as the principal liaison between the independent directors and the CEO on sensitive issues;

•Working with the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee to develop and maintain the agreed-upon definitions of the role of the Board and the organization, processes and governance guidelines necessary to carry it out;

•Working with management on effective communication with stockholders;

•Encouraging active participation by each member of the Board; and

•Performing such other duties and services as the Board may require.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

Board Independence

The Board has determined that each of our directors, other than Mr. Dziedzic, who is the Company’s President and CEO, is independent under the NYSE’s Corporate Governance Listing Standards. In accordance with the NYSE Corporate Governance Listing Standards, the Board undertook its annual review of director independence with respect to the directors standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting. During this review, the Board considered the materiality of any relationships with the Company from the director’s perspective and the perspective of any persons or organizations with which the director is affiliated. Material relationships may include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable or familial relationships and can also be indirect, such that serving as a partner, director or officer, or holding shares, of an organization that has a relationship with the Company. The purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions existed that were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent.

Following the review described above, the Board affirmatively determined that except for Mr. Dziedzic, no current director has a material relationship with the Company that is inconsistent with a determination of independence. Therefore, the Board affirmatively determined that all of the current directors who are standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting, with the exception of Mr. Dziedzic, are independent.

Enterprise Risk Management

The Company has an enterprise risk management program implemented, including with respect to cybersecurity matters, by members of the Company’s senior management. Enterprise risks are identified and their mitigation is prioritized by Company management. The enterprise risk management program as a whole and various components thereof is subject to oversight and review by the Board and its committees.

It is the responsibility of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee to oversee and ensure that enterprise risk management is periodically reviewed with the Board and that risk management and assessment is reviewed with management. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to oversee the financial risks faced by the Company, and, more specifically, to review and discuss with management and the internal audit department any such financial risks and consider the risk of management’s ability to override the Company’s internal controls. Additionally, the Company’s Chief Information Security Officer provides updates to the Audit Committee, at least twice each year, on cybersecurity risks, incidents and incident resolution (with any incidents of significance being reported at, or prior to, the Audit Committee's next meeting), and the Company provides annual mandatory cybersecurity awareness and information handling training to all associates. The Compensation Committee has responsibility for overseeing the relationship between risk management policies and compensation and to evaluate compensation policies in light of any such risk.

The Board as a whole has oversight responsibility for the Company’s strategic risks. Throughout the year, management regularly reports on each identified enterprise risk to the relevant committee or the Board. In addition to updates provided to the Audit Committee, at least once each year, the Company’s Chief Information Security Officer also provides information on cybersecurity risks and the Company’s approach to protecting the Company’s data and systems infrastructure to the Board. In the event of a material cybersecurity event, management would notify Board members, as appropriate, and, in compliance with our procedures and established management-level committees, determine the timing and extent of the response and public disclosure and whether any future vulnerabilities are expected. Additional review or reporting on enterprise risks is conducted as needed or as requested by the Board or a committee. Allocating various aspects of risk oversight among the committees encourages the independent directors to be fully engaged in the risk oversight responsibilities of the Board. Also, we believe that the separation of the Chair of the Board and CEO roles further supports the Board’s risk oversight role.

Committees and Meetings of the Board

The Board has standing Audit, Compensation and Organization, Corporate Governance and Nominating, and Technology Strategy Committees. Each committee has a written charter that can be accessed under the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website at www.integer.net under “Corporate Governance.” Copies of the charters may be obtained without charge by written request made to the General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Integer Holdings Corporation, 5830 Granite Parkway, Suite 1150, Plano, Texas 75024.

The Board held eight meetings in 2023. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and meetings of the committees of the Board on which that director served. The Company encourages, but has no formal policy regarding, director attendance at its annual meeting of stockholders. Each of the Company’s directors serving on the Board attended the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also considers diversity of gender, ethnicity and specific skills and qualifications when considering and evaluating new candidates for Board membership, using the same process for evaluating candidates whether the candidate has been recommended for consideration by a committee member, another director, management or one or more stockholders. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has sole authority to retain a search firm to assist in identifying qualified director candidates. Stockholders wishing to submit recommendations for candidates to the Board must supply information in writing regarding the candidate to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee at the Company’s offices at 5830 Granite Parkway, Suite 1150, Plano, Texas 75024. The information should include, at a minimum, the candidate’s name, biographical information, qualifications and availability for service.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

Executive Sessions of the Board

The independent non-management directors typically meet without management in executive session at the conclusion of each regularly scheduled Board meeting and at such other times as they deem appropriate. Our Board Chair presided at the meetings of the non-management directors when they met in executive sessions during 2023.

Board/Committee/Director Evaluations

The Board has a three-part annual evaluation process that is coordinated by the independent Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee: committee self-evaluations; a full Board evaluation; and the evaluation of the individual directors. In consultation with our independent Chair of the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee determines the overall process, scope, and content of the Board’s annual self-evaluation process, which includes an extensive performance assessment questionnaire with specific portions dedicated to self-evaluation of each committee. The committee self-evaluations consider whether and how well each committee has performed the responsibilities in its charter, whether the committee members possess the right skills and experience to perform their responsibilities or whether additional education or training is required, whether there are sufficient meetings covering the right topics, whether the meeting materials are effective, and other matters. The full Board evaluation considers the following factors, among others, in light of the committee self-assessments: (i) the effectiveness of the board organization and committee structure; (ii) the quality of meetings, agendas, presentations and meeting materials; (iii) the effectiveness of director preparation and participation in discussions; (iv) the effectiveness of director selection, orientation and continuing education processes; (v) the effectiveness of the process for establishing the CEO’s performance criteria and evaluating his performance; and (vi) the quality of administrative planning and logistical support. The independent Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee review the responses and share the committee assessments with the individual committee chairs.

Individual director performance assessments are conducted informally as needed and involve a discussion among the Chair of the Board and other directors, including members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee provide individual feedback, as necessary.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews best practices annually relating to Board and committee self-evaluation processes and makes changes to the form and scope of its evaluation process so that the procedures continue to provide the Board with an effective mechanism to evaluate the Board’s performance and effectiveness and makes changes the Board determines are necessary and appropriate.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

All new directors participate in the Company’s director orientation program. This orientation program is designed to familiarize new directors with the Company and its operations, through a review of background material, meetings with senior management, a mentorship program pairing new directors with experienced directors, and plant and facility tours. The orientation allows new directors to become familiar with the Company’s business and strategic plans; significant financial matters; core values, including ethics, compliance programs and corporate governance practices; and other key policies and practices. Following the 2023 Annual Meeting, directors, other than the President and CEO, served on two or three committees apiece, with the majority of directors serving on three committees. The Company believes this accelerates the learning curve for its newer directors and provides the committees and the Company’s more tenured directors with fresh perspectives.

We also support a continuing education program for directors and encourage directors to participate therein. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for the administration of the continuing education program and periodically reviews and updates the program. Continuing education opportunities available to our directors include Company-sponsored courses or events, in-person or online director education programs and publications sponsored by outside parties, online training courses offered as part of our compliance training program for employees, and certain other educational experiences as may be approved by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee from time to time.

Communications with the Board

Any stockholder or interested party who wishes to communicate with the Chair of the Board, the non-management directors of the Board as a group or the entire Board may do so by writing to them in care of the following address: Integer Holdings Corporation, 5830 Granite Parkway, Suite 1150, Plano, Texas 75024. In addition, the Chair of the Board receives a copy of each communication submitted by stockholders or other interested parties via the Integer Ethics Direct Line page, which can be accessed under the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website at www.integer.net under “Corporate Governance.”

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During at least some portion of 2023, Mmes. Antrum, Capps and Hobby and Messrs. Hinrichs, Jeffers, Maxwell, Spence, and Summers served on the Compensation and Organization Committee. No person who served as a member of the Compensation and Organization Committee during fiscal year 2023 was (i) an officer or employee of the Company during such fiscal year, (ii) formerly an officer of the Company or (iii) had any relationship requiring disclosure by the Company under Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Director Compensation

The Company uses a combination of cash and stock-based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on our Board. In 2023, each non-employee director was paid a retainer of between $260,000 and $380,000, depending on the role of the director, in a combination of cash and equity awards. In setting director compensation, the Company considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company as well as the skill-level required for members of the Board. Directors who are also employees of the Company receive no additional remuneration for services as a director. All awards and changes to directors’ compensation are approved by the Board. In addition to the cash and equity retainers described below, the Company also reimburses each non-employee director for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board and its Committees.

Cash Retainers. In 2023, the cash portion of each non-employee director’s annual retainer was $76,294, which amount reflects the increase in the non-employee director annual cash retainer to $80,000 that went into effect beginning on May 24, 2023, as described in greater detail below. Directors also received additional cash payments in 2023 as follows:

Chair of the Board	$	60,000
Audit Committee Chair	20,000
Compensation and Organization Committee Chair	15,000
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Chair	10,000
Technology Strategy Committee Chair	10,000
Audit Committee Member, including Committee Chair	10,000

Equity Retainers. In 2023, the equity-based portion of each non-employee director’s annual retainer was equal in value to $180,000 ($240,000 for the Chair of the Board) consisting of restricted stock units (based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant). The number of restricted stock units granted is calculated using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The directors' equity awards for 2023 were granted on May 24, 2023, vesting in four equal installments, on the three-, six- and nine-month anniversaries of the grant date, and the last installment vesting on May 21, 2024.

Any non-employee director taking office other than on the date of an annual meeting will receive a prorated portion of the annual equity retainer, as of the date he or she takes office. Any prorated annual equity retainer will vest in equal installments on each regularly scheduled vesting date applicable to non-employee directors who have continuously served since the most recent annual meeting.

Compensation Review. Consistent with current best practices and with the assistance of information provided by FW Cook, the Board periodically reviews director compensation. In 2022, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee engaged FW Cook to perform a market study related to the compensation of the non-employee directors. Based on the director compensation study and recommendations prepared by FW Cook, on May 24, 2023, the Board, on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, approved a revised non-employee director compensation policy that implemented the following changes as compared to the prior non-employee director compensation policy, with each of these changes being effective as of May 24, 2023, unless otherwise specifically stated:

(i) the cash portion of the annual retainer increased from $70,000 to $80,000; and

(ii) the equity-based portion of the annual retainer increased in value from $170,000 to $180,000 ($240,000 for the Chairman).

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines. To align the interests of our directors with the interests of our stockholders and to promote our commitment to sound corporate governance, the Compensation Committee designed and the Board approved stock ownership guidelines for non-employee directors. These ownership guidelines call for non-employee directors to own at least 6,000 shares of Company common stock within five years of election as a director. The following types of shares of Company common stock qualify for purposes of determining compliance with these ownership guidelines: (i) shares owned by the director or his or her immediate family members residing in the same household, or held in a trust or partnership controlled by the director or his or her immediate family members residing in the same household, (ii) shares owned as a result of the vesting of restricted stock awards or restricted stock unit awards, (iii) shares acquired upon stock option exercise that the director continues to hold, and (iv) restricted stock awards or restricted stock unit awards that vest over time and have no performance-based vesting requirements. In addition, a non-employee director may not sell shares of Company common stock, except through “sell to cover” exercises of stock options, unless the value of the non-employee director’s holdings of Company common stock exceeds five times the value of the annual cash retainer paid to the non-employee director. Each of our directors has achieved these ownership guidelines.

Related-Person Transactions

The Board has adopted a written policy setting forth procedures for the review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving the Company and related-persons of the Company. A copy of the Company’s policy on related-person transactions can be accessed under the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website at www.integer.net under “Corporate Governance.” Under this policy, every proposed transaction between the Company and a director, executive officer, a director nominee, stockholder owning in excess of 5% of the common stock or any immediate family member or entity of the foregoing persons involving an amount in excess of $120,000 and in which the related-person will have a direct or indirect material interest, must be approved or ratified by the Audit Committee.

Environmental, Social and Governance Matters

At Integer, we are committed to enhancing the lives of patients worldwide, while conducting our business in a socially and environmentally responsible manner to benefit our associates, customers, stockholders and the communities in which we live and work. We believe that to be good corporate citizens, we must understand and focus on ESG matters that impact our stakeholders and the communities in which we operate and must also align our ESG goals, programs and initiatives to our corporate strategy. To increase our understanding and alignment, we completed a materiality assessment in 2021 to gain input from internal and external stakeholders on topics of greatest importance for us to address as we look toward developing our longer-term goals and initiatives. We believe sound ESG practices are critical to attracting and retaining the best associate talent. We are also committed to reporting on the progress and outcomes of our ESG initiatives.

ESG Governance. While the Board retains formal oversight of all ESG matters for the Company, responsibility for ESG reaches beneath our executive and managerial ranks into operations management and functional experts. Functional experts compose our cross-functional Management ESG Council, which is responsible for researching and recommending strategy relating to ESG matters to our Executive ESG Council. The Executive ESG Council is responsible for both providing oversight and direction to the Management ESG Council, which includes aligning program priorities and ensuring resource availability, and integrating ESG objectives across the Company. Our Senior Vice-President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary retains primary responsibility for corporate governance measures and is also responsible for ESG program oversight and coordination of strategic objectives with other executives, the CEO and the Board. Our Chief Human Resources Officer is responsible for Human Capital initiatives. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board maintains formal oversight responsibilities for our ESG program, but all Board committees have a distinct role in overseeing portions of our ESG objectives, with regular discussions at meetings of the full Board, as outlined below:

Benchmarking and Gap Analyses. During 2021, the Management ESG Council performed an in-depth self-assessment to analyze our practices and disclosures as compared to identified ESG reporting standards. The Management ESG Council and Executive ESG Council worked together to create a framework for assessing and monitoring our ESG goals, programs and initiatives and aligning these goals, programs and initiatives to our corporate strategy. The Board was actively engaged throughout this process to oversee the framework development and ensure alignment with our strategy.

54 | 2023 PROXY STATEMENT

OTHER GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

During 2022, the Management ESG Council conducted a gap analysis of the SEC’s proposed climate change disclosure rule to identify the Company’s readiness to comply with its provisions as proposed. This analysis was shared with the Executive ESG Council and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, both of which provided direction regarding actions intended to reduce certain potential gaps. The Company believes that its use of a single instance ERP system coupled with analysis and reporting generated by licensed software will facilitate compliance with potential disclosure requirements for Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions.

The Management ESG Council also benchmarked peer ESG disclosures and generated recommendations and plans to augment the Company’s ESG disclosure. The Executive ESG Council plans to consider this augmented disclosure in light of the SEC’s release of revised climate change disclosure rules. Our ESG disclosures can be found on our website (www.integer.net), including within the Governance, Corporate Citizenship, and Environmental, Health, Safety and Security pages, as well as integrated within other pages on our website. Integer is committed to a continual review and improvement of our disclosures in an effort to become more transparent in our commitment to a healthier, more sustainable future for our key stakeholders, including our stockholders, associates, customers and communities.

Social Performance and Actions.

Human Capital. Our Board and executive team put significant focus on our human capital resources, as we strive to build leadership capability and create a diverse, inclusive work environment that inspires excellence. This cultural framework recognizes the value of individuals as critical to Integer’s operational strategy. Our human capital initiatives include associate management and development, leadership development, equitable and competitive compensation, and benefits and diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination (which is discussed below). More detail on these initiatives can be found on pages 12 and 13 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 20, 2024.

Diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination. We are committed to be an inclusive company in which all of us accept, respect and value one another’s individual differences and encouraging different perspectives and ideas that improve team synergy and communication. We have developed a formal diversity and inclusion strategy, creating a robust engagement platform designed to increase innovation and enhance communication and business synergies. Our strategy utilizes both a management and an executive cross-functional diversity council to advance our global diversity and inclusion strategies at all levels of our organization. We have infused diversity and inclusion into our business processes and created local and global engagement opportunities for associates.

Through our values, Code of Conduct, and commitment to Diversity and Inclusion (“D&I”), we strive to create a culture that unifies and embraces the uniqueness each associate brings to Integer, positioning us for long-term success. We are committed to creating a better, more inclusive company in which all of us accept, respect and value one another’s individual differences, encouraging different perspectives and ideas that improve team synergy and communication.

Our diversity and inclusion strategy resulted in key successes in 2023, including:

•As of December 31, 2023, 44% of our U.S. based workforce are people of color

•Globally, 48% of our workforce as of December 31, 2023 are women

•100% of executive leadership actively serve as executive sponsors of D&I initiatives

•Each member of our senior leadership team adopted a culture focused goal, 31% of which relates to D&I

•Continuing with three cross functional governing D&I councils, which advance the global D&I strategy at all levels of the organization

•Six employee resource groups, which are voluntary, employee-led groups of associates who join together based on common interests, backgrounds or demographic factors

•Empowering D&I site champions, whose responsibility it is to promote Integer’s diversity and inclusion initiatives at each of our locations

Employee Safety. The Company continually pursues excellence with respect to employee safety. Our corporate safety strategy includes identifying hazards and risks, implementing measures to prevent incidents, and training associates in safe practices to improve performance. We strive for an injury and accident-free workplace by following the SAFE-T program, which focuses on identifying and reducing potential risk in order to prevent injuries and accidents – See safety hazards, Act to address concerns, Follow-Up to correct hazards, and Engage all employees to be SAFE-Together.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 55

OTHER GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

All employees are accountable to report observations, near-misses, and incidents. The Company reviews, analyzes and compiles data using incident management software to look for trends and to ensure corrective and preventative actions are tracked to completion. Each Company site sets tailored continuous safety improvement goals and evaluates progress against specific measures, including total recordable incident rate and days away, restricted or transferred, SAFE-T engagement, and closure of corrective actions. For the past three years, the Company has maintained a total recordable incident rate significantly better than the OSHA industry average for the NAICS codes that correspond to our businesses.

Additional activities and actions. In addition to those described above, the following on-going corporate activities and actions further demonstrate our commitment to ESG matters:

•Employing a Senior Director of Diversity and Inclusion tasked with leading the development of strategies and actions to ensure that we maintain and enhance the inclusive environment we have fostered.

•Continuing with three cross functional governing D&I councils, which advance the global D&I strategy at all levels of the organization.

•Organizing and supporting the expansion of employee resource groups, which are voluntary, employee-led groups comprised of associates who join together based on common interests, backgrounds or demographic factors.

•Fostering social awareness, including evaluating our products and supply chain in areas of the world that use forced labor or mine conflict minerals.

•Contributing to the local communities where our facilities and offices are located, including providing financial and volunteer support for various regional and local charitable organizations, non-profits and other community programs.

•Decreasing or discontinuing use of certain hazardous chemicals, resulting in improved emissions, waste and associate safety.

•Integrated a safety and chemical review process for all significant changes in manufacturing within our business processes to seek to reduce risk and increase safety for our associates and customers.

•Implementing tools to help us monitor and mitigate our climate impact. Our initial focus is on understanding our energy utilization. With this data, we will be able to operate more efficiently and minimize waste.

•Established an energy usage and tracking process that has enabled us to understand our baseline Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. As a next step, Integer has begun assessing energy reduction opportunities at one of our largest facilities in New Ross, Ireland. The facility has a multi-year plan with energy reduction projects and initiatives scoped and planned through 2030, the first of which were implemented in 2023. Additionally, Integer plans to assess up to two more facilities in 2024.

We will continue to expand on our ESG strategy and programs to ensure continuous improvement and provide transparency and accountability to our stakeholders. We recognize the importance of ESG considerations and are firmly committed to conducting business in a sound and socially responsible manner. For more information on our all our ESG initiatives including Environmental, Health, Safety & Security (EHSS), Charitable Giving, and Governance initiatives, please visit our website as www.integer.net.

Engagement with Investors and Market Participants

We believe that effective corporate governance includes a regular, active dialogue with our stockholders, analysts covering our Company and other market participants. Through these engagement efforts, we seek to better understand investors’ interests and concerns regarding, among other items, our strategy and financial results, our executive compensation program, corporate governance-related issues, and environmental and social matters. We value the feedback received. We are working to further improve our level of engagement by expanding our dialogue with stockholders and other market participants, actively seeking increased analyst coverage, revising disclosures to increase clarity, and improving the effectiveness of our communications.

Our ESG goals include continually developing, implementing and monitoring ESG initiatives, policies and communications to allow us to better manage our impact on the environment and how we engage with society and our community, while ensuring accountability on our commitments. We expect that our ESG strategy and goals will continue to evolve and build on our key values of innovation, collaboration, inclusion, candor and integrity.

A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2023 may be obtained without charge by any stockholder by written request made to the General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Integer Holdings Corporation, 5830 Granite Parkway, Suite 1150, Plano, Texas 75024.

Stockholder Proposals for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

In order for a stockholder proposal for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be eligible for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement, we must receive it, at our principal executive offices, no later than December 9, 2024. You must provide your proposal to us in writing and your notice must contain the information required by the Company’s bylaws.

The proposal should be submitted to the Company’s principal executive offices in Plano, Texas and should be directed to the attention of the General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company.

The Company’s bylaws provide that no business may be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders unless it is specified in the notice of the meeting or is otherwise brought before the meeting by the Board or by a stockholder entitled to vote who has delivered notice to the Company (containing the information specified in the bylaws) not later than 90 days nor more than 120 days in advance of the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the Company’s bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT | 59

OTHER MATTERS

GENERAL INFORMATION – QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Why did I receive a letter in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of printed proxy materials?

As permitted by the SEC, instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to all of our stockholders, we are furnishing to stockholders our Notice of the Annual Meeting, this Proxy Statement, and our Annual Report for 2023 primarily over the internet through the notice and access process. The Annual Report is not part of the proxy solicitation materials.

On or about April 8, 2024, we sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice and Access Letter”) to each of our stockholders. Stockholders have the ability to access the proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice and Access Letter and to download printable versions of the proxy materials or to request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy of the materials may be found in the Notice and Access Letter. If you received the Notice and Access Letter, you will not receive a paper copy of the proxy materials unless you request one. We encourage you to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the environmental impact and cost of the annual meeting of stockholders.

Why am I being provided this proxy statement?

We are providing this proxy statement to you because our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares of the Company’s common stock at the Annual Meeting, or any adjournment or adjournments thereof. This proxy statement contains information about matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting and other information required by the SEC and NYSE.

Where and when will the Annual Meeting be held?

The Annual Meeting will be held at the New York Stock Exchange, 11 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on Wednesday, May 22, 2024. Stockholders who wish to attend the Annual Meeting must pre-register. See pages 61 and 62 of this proxy statement for registration instructions and identification requirements. The Company’s mailing address is 5830 Granite Parkway, Suite 1150, Plano, Texas 75024, and its telephone number is (214) 618-5243.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Common stockholders of record at the close of business on March 25, 2024 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At that time, the Company had outstanding 33,503,719 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Shares may not be voted at the Annual Meeting unless the owner is present or represented by proxy, as more fully explained in this proxy statement. Individuals who hold shares of common stock under the Company 401(k) Plan are entitled to vote those shares of common stock held in their accounts.

How can I give my proxy or vote?

You can give your proxy to vote via the Internet or telephone by following the instructions found in the Notice and Access Letter. If you received printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, the instructions for giving your proxy to vote via the Internet or telephone are found on the proxy card, or you may complete, sign, date and return the physical proxy card accompanying this proxy statement. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate that you are a stockholder by use of a control number and allow you to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you are a stockholder of record, the method by which you vote will not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you later decide to attend in person.

May I revoke my proxy?

How you hold your shares (stockholder of record or beneficial owner) determines how and when you may revoke your proxy. A stockholder of record may revoke a proxy that has been previously given at any time before it is exercised by giving written notice of such revocation or by delivering a later dated proxy, in either case, to the General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, at 5830 Granite Parkway, Suite 1150, Plano, Texas 75024, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. A beneficial owner must follow the instructions from his or her broker, bank or other intermediary to revoke his or her previously given proxy.

How will my proxy be voted?

Your proxy will be voted in accordance with the direction you provide, if any. If you submit your proxy but do not specify how you want to vote your shares, your shares will be voted FOR the election as directors of the 11 persons named under the section titled “Nominees for Director”; FOR ratifying the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for fiscal year 2024, and FOR approving, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers.

60 | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

OTHER MATTERS

What is required for a quorum at the Annual Meeting?

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will be counted as being present or represented at the Annual Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum, but, under NYSE rules, brokers will not be permitted to vote in the election of directors or on the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers unless specific voting instructions are provided to the broker. We therefore encourage beneficial owners of shares whose shares are held in street name to direct their vote for all agenda items on the form of proxy or instruction card sent by their broker, bank or other intermediary.

What vote is required to elect directors?

Directors will be elected by a plurality of votes cast. This means the 11 nominees for election as directors who receive the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected as directors. “Withhold” votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the voting to elect directors.

What happens if an incumbent director nominee does not receive a majority of votes cast in favor of his or her election?

Under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, any nominee for director who receives a greater number of “withhold” votes than “for” votes is expected to tender his or her resignation to the Board for consideration in accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines.

What vote is necessary to approve Proposals 2 and 3?

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast (meaning that the number of shares voted “for” a proposal must exceed the number of shares voted “against” such proposal) at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for fiscal year 2024 (Proposal 2) and to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (Proposal 3). Abstentions will not constitute votes cast on either of these proposals and therefore will not affect the outcome of these proposals. Broker non-votes will not constitute votes cast on either of these proposals and therefore will not affect the outcome of these proposals.

Who is paying for the solicitation of proxies?

The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form of proxy. We have retained Georgeson LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $9,500, plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, we are making this solicitation by mail, by telephone and in person using the services of some employees of the Company or its subsidiaries at nominal cost. We will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for expenses they incur in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners of the common stock.

How do I pre-register to attend the Annual Meeting?

All stockholders of the Company are invited to attend the Annual Meeting, which will be held at the New York Stock Exchange. To pre-register, contact Stockholder Services by email at ir@integer.net or by telephone at (716) 759-5641 to complete the pre-registration process.

If you hold your shares in “street name” through an intermediary, such as a bank, brokerage firm, or other intermediary, please send a written request either by regular mail or email, along with proof of share ownership, such as a bank, or brokerage firm account statement, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, or a letter from the broker, trustee, bank or nominee holding your shares to: Stockholder Services, 10000 Wehrle Drive, Clarence, NY 14031; or by email to: ir@integer.net.

Requests to attend the Annual Meeting will be processed in the order in which they are received and must be received no later than Wednesday, May 15, 2024. If we cannot confirm you are a registered stockholder or beneficial owner, we will contact you for further information.

APPENDIX A

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Proxy Summary of this proxy statement contains two non-GAAP financial measures — Adjusted operating income and Adjusted earnings per share. The tables on page A-2 of this proxy statement reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures in the Proxy Summary to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with similar names, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies.

We compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. We may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.

We exclude the following items from of our non-GAAP financial measures:

•Amortization of intangible assets

•Restructuring and restructuring-related charges

•Acquisition and integration costs

•Other general expenses

•Medical device regulations

•Other adjustments

•Inventory step-up amortization

We also exclude the following items from non-GAAP Adjusted earnings per share:

•Loss on equity investments

•Loss on extinguishment of debt

•Tax effects and adjustments

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results primarily because they exclude amounts that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization. We believe our non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison by management and investors of results for current periods and guidance for future periods with results for past periods.

The following are descriptions of the items we exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures.

Amortization of intangible assets. When we acquire a business, we are required by GAAP to record the fair values of the intangible assets of the entity and amortize them over their useful lives.

Restructuring and restructuring-related charges. We initiate discrete restructuring programs primarily to realign resources to better serve our customers and markets, improve operational efficiency and capabilities, and lower operating costs or improve profitability. Depending on the program, restructuring charges may include termination benefits, contract termination, facility closure and other exit and disposal costs. Restructuring-related expenses are directly related to the program and may include retention bonuses, accelerated depreciation, consulting expense and costs to transfer manufacturing operations among our facilities.

Acquisition and integration costs. Acquisition and integration costs are incremental costs that are directly related to a business or asset acquisition.

OTHER MATTERS

Other adjustments. Other adjustments includes costs associated with leadership transitions and certain formal strategic projects. Leadership transition costs primarily include severance costs associated with the departure of executives and incremental costs associated with the related leadership transitions. Strategic projects primarily involve system reconfiguration to support our manufacturing excellence operational strategic imperative and investments in certain technology and platform development to align our capabilities to meet customer needs.

Inventory step-up amortization. The accounting associated with our acquisitions require us to record inventory at its fair value, which is sometimes greater than the previous book value of inventory. The increase in inventory value is amortized to cost of sales over the period that the related inventory is sold.

Loss on equity investments. We excludes gains and losses on our investments in equity securities.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt consists of accelerated write-offs of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and discounts which are included in interest expense.

Tax effects and adjustments. We exclude the income tax effects of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments described above and eliminate the effects of non-recurring and period-specific items which can vary in size and frequency. We compute the estimated tax impact related to the respective adjustments using a 21% U.S. tax rate and the statutory tax rates applicable in foreign tax jurisdictions, as adjusted for the existence of net operating losses. Expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes (i.e. permanent tax differences) are added back at 100%.
