SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document may contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), and that are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. These statements reflect management's current knowledge, assumptions, beliefs, estimates, and expectations and express management's current view of future performance, results, and trends. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of terms such as anticipate, believe, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, plan, predict, project, will, and other similar terms. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking statements. The reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Such statements are made as of the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements after this date. Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from those described in forward-looking statements are discussed in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 23, 2016). By way of example and without implied limitation, such risks and uncertainties include:

• future actions of the SEC, the United States Attorney’s office, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Department of Health and Human Services, or other U.S. or foreign government authorities, including those resulting from increased scrutiny under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws, that could delay, limit, or suspend our development, manufacturing, commercialization, and sale of products, or result in seizures, injunctions, monetary sanctions, or criminal or civil liabilities;

• risks associated with the merger between Tornier N.V. (Tornier or legacy Tornier) and Wright Medical Group, Inc. (WMG or legacy Wright), including the failure to realize intended benefits and anticipated synergies and cost-savings from the transaction or delay in realization thereof; our businesses may not be combined successfully, or such combination may take longer, be more difficult, time-consuming or costly to accomplish than expected; and business disruption after the transaction, including adverse effects on employee retention, our sales and distribution channel, especially in light of territory transitions, and business relationships with third parties;

• risks associated with the divestiture of the U.S. rights to certain of legacy Tornier's ankle and silastic toe replacement products;

• liability for product liability claims on hip/knee (OrthoRecon) products sold by legacy Wright prior to the divestiture of the OrthoRecon business;

• risks and uncertainties associated with the recent metal-on-metal master settlement agreement and the settlement agreement with the three insurance companies, including without limitation, the final settlement amount and the final number of claims settled under the master settlement agreement, the possibility that the 95% opt-in requirement may not be achieved, the resolution of the remaining unresolved claims, the effect of the broad release of certain insurance coverage for present and future claims, and the resolution of WMT’s dispute with the remaining carriers;

• failure to realize the anticipated benefits from previous acquisitions and dispositions;

• adverse outcomes in existing product liability litigation;

• new product liability claims;

• inadequate insurance coverage;

• copycat claims against our modular hip systems resulting from a competitor’s recall of its modular hip product;

• the ability of a creditor of any one particular entity within our corporate structure to reach the assets of the other entities within our corporate structure not liable for the underlying claims of the one particular entity, despite our corporate structure which is intended to ring-fence liabilities;

• failure to obtain anticipated commercial sales of our AUGMENT^® Bone Graft in the United States;

• challenges to our intellectual property rights or inability to defend our products against the intellectual property rights of others;

• adverse effects of diverting resources and attention to transition services provided to the purchaser of our large joints business;

• failures of, interruptions to, or unauthorized tampering with, our information technology systems;

• failure or delay in obtaining FDA or other regulatory approvals for our products;

• the potentially negative effect of our ongoing compliance efforts on our relationships with customers and on our ability to deliver timely and effective medical education, clinical studies, and new products;

• the possibility of private securities litigation or shareholder derivative suits;

• insufficient demand for and market acceptance of our new and existing products;

• recently enacted healthcare laws and changes in product reimbursements, which could generate downward pressure on our product pricing;

• potentially burdensome tax measures;

• lack of suitable business development opportunities;

3

• inability to capitalize on business development opportunities;

• product quality or patient safety issues;

• geographic and product mix impact on our sales;

• inability to retain key sales representatives, independent distributors, and other personnel or to attract new talent;

• inventory reductions or fluctuations in buying patterns by wholesalers or distributors;

• inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our capital requirements, including future milestone payments, and existing debt, including the conversion features of our convertible senior notes, or refinance our existing debt as it matures;

• inability to raise additional financing when needed and on favorable terms;

• the negative impact of the commercial and credit environment on us, our customers, and our suppliers;

• deriving a significant portion of our revenues from operations in certain geographic markets that are subject to political, economic, and social instability, including in particular France, and risks and uncertainties involved in launching our products in certain new geographic markets;

• fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

• not successfully developing and marketing new products and technologies and implementing our business strategy;

• not successfully competing against our existing or potential competitors and the effect of significant recent consolidations amongst our competitors;

• the reliance of our business plan on certain market assumptions;

• our private label manufacturers failing to provide us with sufficient supply of their products, or failing to meet appropriate quality requirements;

• our inability to timely manufacture products or instrument sets to meet demand;

• our plans to bring the manufacturing of certain of our products in-house and possible disruptions we may experience in connection with such transition;

• our plans to increase our gross margins by taking certain actions designed to do so;

• the loss of key suppliers, which may result in our inability to meet customer orders for our products in a timely manner or within our budget;

• the incurrence of significant expenditures of resources to maintain relatively high levels of inventory, which could reduce our cash flows and increase the risk of inventory obsolescence, which could harm our operating results;

• consolidation in the healthcare industry that could lead to demands for price concessions or the exclusion of some suppliers from certain of our markets, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results;

• our clinical trials and their results and our reliance on third parties to conduct them;

• the compliance of our products and activities with the laws and regulations of the countries in which they are marketed, which compliance may be costly and time-consuming;

• the use, misuse or off-label use of our products that may harm our image in the marketplace or result in injuries that may lead to product liability suits, which could be costly to our business or result in governmental sanctions; and

• pending and future other litigation, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

For more information regarding these and other uncertainties and factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what we have anticipated in our forward-looking statements or otherwise could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results, see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this report. The risks and uncertainties described above and in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this report are not exclusive and further information concerning us and our business, including factors that potentially could materially affect our business, operating results or financial condition, may emerge from time to time. We assume no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements. We advise you, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our future Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K we file with or furnish to the SEC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Organization and Description of Business

Wright Medical Group N.V. (Wright or we) is a global medical device company focused on extremities and biologics products. We are committed to delivering innovative, value-added solutions improving quality of life for patients worldwide and are a recognized leader of surgical solutions for the upper extremities (shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand), lower extremities (foot and ankle) and biologics markets, three of the fastest growing segments in orthopaedics. We market our products in over 50 countries worldwide.

Our global corporate headquarters are located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We also have significant operations located in Memphis, Tennessee (U.S. headquarters, research and development, sales and marketing administration, and administrative activities); Bloomington, Minnesota (upper extremities sales and marketing); Arlington, Tennessee (manufacturing and warehousing operations); Grenoble, France (manufacturing and research and development); and Macroom, Ireland (manufacturing). In addition, we have local sales and distribution offices in Canada, Australia, Asia, and throughout Europe. For purposes of this report, references to "international" or "foreign" relate to non-U.S. matters while references to "domestic" relate to U.S. matters.

Upon completion of the merger between Wright Medical Group, Inc. (legacy Wright or WMG) and Tornier N.V. (legacy Tornier) (the Wright/Tornier merger or merger) effective October 1, 2015, Robert J. Palmisano, former President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of legacy Wright, became President and CEO of the combined company, and Lance A. Berry, former Senior Vice President (SVP) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of legacy Wright, became SVP and CFO. Immediately upon completion of the merger, legacy Wright shareholders owned approximately 52% of the combined company and legacy Tornier shareholders owned approximately 48% of the combined company, and our board of directors was comprised of five representatives from legacy Wright’s board of directors and five representatives from legacy Tornier’s board of directors. In connection with the merger, the trading symbol for our ordinary shares changed from “TRNX” to “WMGI.” Because of these and other facts and circumstances, the merger was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP), and as such, legacy Wright was considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. Therefore, legacy Wright’s historical results of operations replaced legacy Tornier’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger. More specifically, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the merger are those of legacy Wright and its subsidiaries, and for periods subsequent to the merger also include legacy Tornier and its subsidiaries.

Our fiscal year runs from the first Monday after the last Sunday of December of a year and ends on the last Sunday of December of the following year, and generally consists of four 13-week quarters. Prior to the merger, our fiscal year ended December 31 each year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes present our consolidated results for each of the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

All amounts are presented in U.S. dollars ($), except where expressly stated as being in other currencies, e.g., Euros (€).

References in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements to "we," "our" and "us" refer to Wright Medical Group N.V. and its subsidiaries after the Wright/Tornier merger and Wright Medical Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries before the merger.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Wright Medical Group N.V. have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial statements and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2015, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 23, 2016.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our interim financial results. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not indicative of results for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed

WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP N.V.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(UNAUDITED)

consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our domestic and international subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts on the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Discontinued Operations. On October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter, dated as of July 8, 2016, Tornier SAS (Tornier France), Corin Orthopaedics Holdings Limited (Corin), and certain other entities related to Tornier France and Corin entered into a business sale agreement (Sale Agreement) and simultaneously completed and closed the sale of our business operations operating under the large joints operating segment. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, Tornier France sold substantially all of our assets related to our hip and knee, or large joints, business (the Large Joints Business) to Corin for approximately €29.7 million in cash, less approximately €10.6 million for net working capital adjustments and subject to certain other closing adjustments.

All historical operating results for the Large Joints Business are reflected within discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Further, all assets and associated liabilities transferred to Corin were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. See Note 4 for further discussion of discontinued operations. Other than the discontinued operations discussed in Note 4, unless otherwise stated, all discussion of assets and liabilities in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements reflects the assets and liabilities held and used in our continuing operations, and all discussion of revenues and expenses reflects those associated with our continuing operations.

Shipping and Handling Costs. We incur shipping and handling costs associated with the shipment of goods to customers, independent distributors, and our subsidiaries. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling of products are included in net sales. Costs incurred related to shipping and handling of products to customers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts totaled $5.2 million and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, respectively, and $1.9 million and $6.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. All other shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. On May 28, 2014 and August 12, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09 and 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, respectively, which supersede virtually all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The ASU provides a five-step model for revenue recognition that companies will apply to recognize revenue in a manner that reflects the timing of the transfer of services to customers and that the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that a company expects to receive for the goods and services provided. The ASU will be effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2018. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. Further, on August 16, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated With Line-of-Credit Arrangements to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03. The SEC staff has announced that it would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2016 on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, we reclassified debt issuance costs on our December 27, 2015 consolidated balance sheet, which decreased other assets and long-term debt by $16.2 million.

On September 25, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. The ASU, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, was issued in response to stakeholder feedback that restatements of prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination increase the cost and complexity of financial reporting but do not significantly improve the usefulness of the information. Under this ASU, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined and must present these amounts separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional

(UNAUDITED)

amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. We adopted ASU 2015-16 in the first quarter of 2016 and have recognized adjustments to provisional amounts in the period they were determined as discussed in Note 3.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard (e.g., those related to evaluating when profit can be recognized). Furthermore, the ASU addresses other concerns related to the current leases model. The ASU will be effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2019. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends the guidance in ASC 230 on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of the ASU is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The ASU’s amendments add or clarify guidance on eight cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims. The guidance in the ASU is effective for us beginning in 2018 with early adoption permitted. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

3. Acquisition and Disposition

Wright/Tornier Merger

On October 1, 2015, we completed the Wright/Tornier merger. Immediately upon completion of the merger, legacy Wright shareholders owned approximately 52% of the combined company and legacy Tornier shareholders owned approximately 48% of the combined company. Effective upon completion of the merger, we have operated under the leadership of the legacy Wright management team and our board of directors was comprised of five representatives from legacy Wright’s board of directors and five representatives from legacy Tornier’s board of directors. Because of these and other facts and circumstances, the merger was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” under US GAAP. As such, legacy Wright was considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes; and therefore, legacy Wright’s historical results of operations replaced legacy Tornier’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger. As part of the merger, each legacy Wright share was converted into the right to receive 1.0309 ordinary shares of the combined company. The Wright/Tornier merger added legacy Tornier’s complementary extremities product portfolio to further accelerate growth opportunities in our global extremities business. The results of operations of both companies are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods after completion of the merger.

The acquired business contributed net sales of $66.9 million and $222.3 million and operating loss of $16.9 million and $26.7 million to our condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, respectively.

Purchase Consideration and Net Assets Acquired

The purchase consideration in a reverse acquisition is determined with reference to the value of equity that the accounting acquirer, legacy Wright, would have had to issue to the owners of the accounting acquiree, legacy Tornier, to give them the same percentage interest in the combined entity. The fair value of WMG common stock used in determining the purchase price was $21.02 per share, the closing price on September 30, 2015, which resulted in a total purchase consideration of $1.034 billion.

The calculation of the purchase consideration is as follows (in thousands):

Fair value of ordinary shares effectively transferred to Tornier shareholders	$	1,005,468
Fair value of ordinary shares effectively transferred to Tornier share award holders	8,091
Fair value of ordinary shares effectively issued to Tornier stock option holders	20,676
Fair value of total consideration	$	1,034,235

The following presents the allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on October 1, 2015 (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	30,117
Accounts receivable	63,797
Inventories	138,659
Other current assets	9,256
Property, plant and equipment, net	122,927
Intangible assets, net	213,600
Deferred income taxes	1,399
Other assets	8,658
Total assets acquired	588,413
Current liabilities	(101,623		)
Long-term debt	(79,554		)
Deferred income taxes	(31,878		)
Other non-current liabilities	(8,434		)
Total liabilities assumed	(221,489		)
Net assets acquired	366,924
Goodwill	667,311
Total purchase consideration	$	1,034,235

We made various changes to the purchase allocation during the measurement period. These changes were recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts were determined in accordance with ASU 2015-16.

During the three months ended March 27, 2016, we revised the opening balances of current liabilities and goodwill acquired as part of the Wright/Tornier merger by $0.6 million.

During the three months ended June 26, 2016, we revised the opening balances of intangible assets, accounts receivable, inventories, current liabilities, and goodwill acquired as part of the Wright/Tornier merger based on new information that existed as of the acquisition date. As a result of the completion of the valuation of acquired intangible assets by our third-party valuation firm, we increased the opening balance of acquired intangible assets by $9.4 million, with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. This allocation adjustment resulted in an increase to amortization expense of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 26, 2016, of which $0.1 million related to each of the previous two quarters. We also revised the opening balance of acquired working capital accounts by a net decrease of $0.5 million, with a corresponding increase to goodwill.

During the three months ended September 25, 2016, as a result of the finalization of the valuation of acquired intangible assets by tax jurisdiction, we reduced the opening balance of deferred income taxes by $4.7 million, with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. This allocation adjustment resulted in a $0.4 million decrease to our income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 25, 2016. We revised the opening balance of property, plant, and equipment by $0.2 million with a corresponding increase to goodwill. The decrease in property, plant, and equipment resulted in an immaterial impact to depreciation expense. We also revised the opening balance of acquired working capital accounts by a net increase of $2.1 million, with a corresponding decrease to goodwill, primarily due to the completion of our assessment on inventory and current liabilities. The purchase price allocation is now considered final.

The acquisition was recorded by allocating the costs of the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Trade receivables and payables, as well as certain other current and non-current assets and liabilities, were valued at the existing carrying values as they represented the fair value of those items at the acquisition date, based on management’s judgments and estimates. Trade receivables included gross contractual amounts of $73.9 million and our best estimate of $10.1 million which represents contractual cash flows not expected to be collected at the acquisition date.

Inventory was recorded at estimated selling price less costs of disposal and a reasonable selling profit. The resulting inventory step-up adjustment is being recognized in cost of sales as the related inventory is sold. The fair value of property, plant and equipment utilized a combination of the cost and market approaches, depending on the characteristics of the asset classification.

In determining the fair value of intangibles, we used an income method which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product or technology life cycles, the economic barriers to entry, and the discount rate applied to the cash flows.

Of the $213.6 million of acquired intangible assets, $99.9 million was assigned to customer relationships (20 year life), $89.5 million was assigned to developed technology (10 year life), $15.9 million was assigned to in-process research and development, and $8.3 million was assigned to trade names (2.6 year life).

The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to strategic opportunities that arose from the acquisition of Tornier. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of Tornier and included in the above allocation of the purchase consideration include, among other assets, assets associated with legacy Tornier's Large Joints Business. As described in more detail in Note 4, on October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter, dated as of July 8, 2016, Tornier France, Corin, and certain other entities related to us and Corin entered into a Sale Agreement and simultaneously completed and closed the sale of our Large Joints Business. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, we sold substantially all of our assets related to our Large Joints Business to Corin for approximately €29.7 million in cash, less approximately €10.6 million for net working capital adjustments and certain other closing adjustments.

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The following pro forma combined financial information (in thousands) summarizes the results of operations for the periods indicated as if the Wright/Tornier merger had been completed as of January 1, 2015.

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 25, 2016			September 30, 2015			September 25, 2016			September 30, 2015
Net sales	$	157,332		$	144,795		$	497,339		$	444,978
Net loss from continuing operations	(43,648		)	(89,380		)	(110,828		)	(217,653		)

The pro forma net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes approximately $3.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of non-recurring merger-related transaction expenses.

Pro forma information reflects adjustments that are expected to have a continuing impact on our results of operations and are directly attributable to the merger. The pro forma results include adjustments to reflect, among other things, the amortization of the inventory step-up, the incremental intangible asset amortization to be incurred based on the preliminary values of each identifiable intangible asset, and to eliminate interest expense related to legacy Tornier's former bank term debt and line of credit, which were repaid upon completion of the Wright/Tornier merger. The pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the merger had occurred as of January 1, 2015 or that may be obtained in the future, and do not reflect future synergies, integration costs, or other such costs or savings.

Divestiture of Certain Legacy Tornier Ankle Replacement and Toe Assets

On October 1, 2015, simultaneous with the completion of the Wright/Tornier merger, we completed the divestiture of the U.S. rights to legacy Tornier's SALTO TALARIS^® and SALTO TALARIS^® XT™ line of ankle replacement products and line of silastic toe replacement products, among other assets, for cash. We retained the right to sell these products outside the United States for up to 20 years unless the purchaser exercises an option to purchase the ex-United States rights to the products. The completion of the asset divestiture was subject to and contingent upon the completion of the Wright/Tornier merger and we believe was necessary in order to obtain U.S. Federal Trade Commission approval of the Wright/Tornier merger. As these assets were not part of Wright/Tornier merger, they were not part of the purchase allocation.

4. Discontinued Operations

Large Joints Business

On October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter dated as of July 8, 2016, Tornier France, Corin, and certain other entities related to us and Corin entered into a Business Sale Agreement and simultaneously completed and closed the sale of our Large Joints Business. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, we sold substantially all of our assets related to our Large Joints Business to Corin for approximately €29.7 million in cash, less approximately €10.6 million for net working capital adjustments. Upon closing, the parties also executed a transitional services agreement and supply agreement, among other ancillary agreements required to implement the transaction. These agreements are on arm’s length terms and are not expected to be material to our financial statements.

We determined that the Large Joints Business meets the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. All historical operating results for the Large Joints Business, including costs associated with corporate employees and infrastructure to be transferred as a part of the sale, are reflected within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Further, all assets and associated liabilities transferred to Corin were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. We recognized an impairment loss on assets held for sale of $21.9 million, before the effect of income taxes, in the second quarter of 2016, based on the difference between the net carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale and the purchase price, less estimated adjustments and costs to sell. This loss was recorded within Net loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 25, 2016.

All current operating results for the Large Joints Business are reflected within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. As the Large Joints Business was obtained as a result of the Wright/Tornier merger on October 1, 2015, the historical periods presented are not affected. The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations for the Large Joints Business (in thousands, except per share data):

OrthoRecon Business

On January 9, 2014, legacy Wright completed the divestiture and sale of its hip and knee (OrthoRecon) business to MicroPort Scientific Corporation (MicroPort). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with MicroPort, the purchase price (as defined in the agreement) was approximately $283 million (including a working capital adjustment), which MicroPort paid in cash. As a result of the transaction, we recognized approximately $24.3 million as the gain on disposal of the OrthoRecon business, before the effect of income taxes.

All current and historical operating results for the OrthoRecon business are reflected within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

___________________________

¹  The prior period weighted-average shares outstanding and net loss per share amounts were converted to meet post-merger valuations as described within Note 12.

Certain liabilities associated with the OrthoRecon business, including product liability claims associated with hip and knee products sold by legacy Wright prior to the closing, were not assumed by MicroPort. Charges associated with these product liability claims, including legal defense, settlements and judgments, income associated with product liability insurance recoveries, and changes to any contingent liabilities associated with the OrthoRecon business have been reflected within results of discontinued operations, and we will continue to reflect these within results of discontinued operations in future periods. During the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, we recognized a $38.7 million and $188.7 million charge, respectively, within discontinued operations related to the retained metal-on-metal product liability claims associated with the OrthoRecon business (see Note 13 for additional discussion).

We will incur continuing cash outflows associated with legal defense costs and the ultimate resolution of these contingent liabilities, net of insurance proceeds, until these liabilities are resolved. Cash used in operating activities from the OrthoRecon business totaled $29.7 million and $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivatives

We account for derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. Additionally, changes in the derivatives' fair value shall be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.

WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP N.V.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(UNAUDITED)

FASB ASC Section 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges.

Level 2: Financial instruments determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3: Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.

2021 Conversion Derivative and Notes Hedging

On May 20, 2016, we issued $395 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% cash convertible senior notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes). See Note 9 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes have a conversion derivative feature (2021 Notes Conversion Derivative) that requires bifurcation from the 2021 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2021 Notes was $117.2 million.

In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, we entered into hedges (2021 Notes Hedges) with two option counterparties. The 2021 Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are generally intended to reduce our exposure to potential cash payments that we are required to make upon conversion of the 2021 Notes in excess of the principal amount of converted notes if our ordinary share price exceeds the conversion price. The aggregate cost of the 2021 Notes Hedges was $99.8 million and is accounted for as a derivative asset in accordance with ASC Topic 815. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2021 Note Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2021 Note Hedges.

The following table summarizes the fair value and the presentation in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (in thousands) of the 2021 Notes Hedges and 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative:

	Location on condensed consolidated balance sheet	September 25, 2016
2021 Notes Hedges	Other assets	$	169,488
2021 Notes Conversion Derivative	Other liabilities	$	172,702

The 2021 Notes Hedges and the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. These instruments are not actively traded and are valued using an option pricing model that uses observable and unobservable market data for inputs.

Neither the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative nor the 2021 Notes Hedges qualify for hedge accounting; thus, any change in the fair value of the derivatives is recognized immediately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the net (loss)/gain on changes in fair value (in thousands) related to the 2021 Notes Hedges and 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative:

2020 Conversion Derivative and Notes Hedging

On February 13, 2015, WMG issued $632.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% cash convertible senior notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes). See Note 9 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes have a conversion derivative feature (2020 Notes Conversion Derivative) that requires bifurcation from the 2020 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2020 Notes was $149.8 million.

WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP N.V.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(UNAUDITED)

In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, WMG entered into hedges (2020 Notes Hedges) with three option counterparties. The 2020 Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are generally intended to reduce WMG's exposure to potential cash payments that WMG is required to make upon conversion of the 2020 Notes in excess of the principal amount of converted notes if our ordinary share price exceeds the conversion price. The aggregate cost of the 2020 Notes Hedges was $144.8 million and is accounted for as a derivative asset in accordance with ASC Topic 815. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2020 Note Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2020 Note Hedges.

Concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of the 2020 Notes exchanged approximately $45 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes (including the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative) for the 2021 Notes. For each $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes validly submitted for exchange, we delivered $990 principal amount of the 2021 Notes (subject, in each case, to rounding down to the nearest $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, the difference being referred as the rounded amount) to the investor plus an amount of cash equal to the unpaid interest on the 2020 Notes and the rounded amount at an aggregate cost of approximately $44.6 million. We settled the associated portion of the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative at a benefit of approximately $0.4 million and satisfied the accrued interest, which was not material.

In addition, during the second quarter of 2016, we settled a portion of the 2020 Notes Hedges (receiving $3.9 million) and repurchased a portion of the warrants associated with the 2020 Notes (paying $3.3 million), generating net proceeds of approximately $0.6 million.

2017 Conversion Derivative and Notes Hedging

On August 31, 2012, WMG issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% cash convertible senior notes due 2017 (the 2017 Notes). See Note 9 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2017 Notes. The 2017 Notes have a conversion derivative feature (2017 Notes Conversion Derivative) that requires bifurcation from the 2017 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2017 Notes was $48.1 million.

In connection with the issuance of the 2017 Notes, WMG entered into hedges (2017 Notes Hedges) with three option counterparties. The aggregate cost of the 2017 Notes Hedges was $56.2 million and was accounted for as a derivative asset in accordance with ASC Topic 815.

In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, WMG used approximately $292 million of the 2020 Notes' net proceeds to repurchase and extinguish approximately $240 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes, settle the associated portion of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative at a cost of approximately $49 million, and satisfy the accrued interest of $2.4 million.

WMG also settled all of the 2017 Notes Hedges (receiving $70 million) and repurchased all of the warrants associated with the 2017 Notes (paying $60 million), generating net proceeds of approximately $10 million.

Concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of the 2017 Notes exchanged approximately $54.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2017 Notes (including the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative) for the 2021 Notes. For each $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes validly submitted for exchange, we delivered $1,035.40 principal amount of the 2021 Notes (subject, in each case, to rounding down to the nearest $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, the difference being referred as the rounded amount) to the investor plus an amount of cash equal to the unpaid interest on the 2017 Notes and the rounded amount at a cost of approximately $56.3 million. We settled the associated portion of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative at a cost of approximately $1.9 million and satisfied the accrued interest, which was not material.

In addition, during the second quarter of 2016, we repurchased and extinguished an additional $3.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes in privately negotiated transactions and settled the associated portion of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative at a cost of approximately $0.1 million, and satisfied the accrued interest, which was not material.

To determine the fair value of the embedded conversion option in the 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes Conversion Derivatives, a trinomial lattice model was used. A trinomial stock price lattice generates three possible outcomes of stock price - one up, one down, and one stable. This lattice generates a distribution of stock prices at the maturity date and throughout the life of the 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes. Using this stock price lattice, a convertible note lattice was created where the value of the embedded conversion option was estimated by comparing the value produced in a convertible note lattice with the option to convert against the value without the ability to convert. In each case, the convertible note lattice first calculates the possible convertible note values at the maturity date, using the distribution of stock prices, which equals to the maximum of (x) the remaining bond cash flows and (y) stock price times the conversion price. The values of the 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes Conversion Derivatives at the valuation date were estimated using the values at the maturity date and moving back in time on the lattices (both for the lattice with the conversion option and without the conversion option). Specifically, at each node, if the 2017, 2020, or 2021 Notes are eligible for early conversion, the value at this node is the maximum of (i) converting to stock, which is the stock price times the conversion price, and (ii) holding onto the 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes, which is the discounted and probability-weighted value from the three possible outcomes at the future nodes plus any accrued but unpaid coupons that are not considered at the future nodes. If the 2017, 2020, or 2021 Notes are not eligible for early conversion, the value of the conversion option at this node equals to (ii). In the lattice, a credit adjustment was applied to the discount for each cash flow in the model as the embedded conversion option, as well as the coupon and notional payments, is settled with cash instead of shares.

To estimate the fair value of the 2020 and 2021 Notes Hedges, we used the Black-Scholes formula combined with credit adjustments, as the option counterparties have credit risk and the call options are cash settled. We assumed that the call options will be exercised at the maturity since our ordinary shares do not pay any dividends and management does not expect to declare dividends in the near term.

Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We employ a derivative program using foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of currency fluctuations on our intercompany receivable and payable balances that are denominated in foreign currencies. These forward contracts are expected to offset the transactional gains and losses on the related intercompany balances. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under FASB ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value and the settlement of the contracts are recognized in the period incurred in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. At September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, we had $0.1 million and $3.6 million in foreign currency contracts outstanding, respectively.

As part of our acquisition of WG Healthcare on January 7, 2013, we may be obligated to pay contingent consideration upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones; therefore, we have recorded the estimated fair value of future contingent consideration of approximately $0.6 million as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015.

As a result of the acquired sales and distribution business of Surgical Specialties Australia Pty. Ltd in 2015, we had contingent consideration of approximately $1.8 million and $1.5 million as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, respectively.

The fair value of the contingent consideration as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015 was determined using a discounted cash flow model and probability adjusted estimates of the future earnings and is classified in Level 3. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in “Other income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On March 1, 2013, as part of our acquisition of BioMimetic Therapeutics, Inc. (BioMimetic), we issued Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) as part of the merger consideration. Each CVR entitles its holder to receive additional cash payments of up to $6.50 per share, which are payable upon receipt of FDA approval of AUGMENT^® Bone Graft and upon achieving certain revenue milestones. On September 1, 2015, AUGMENT^® Bone Graft received FDA approval and the first of the milestone payments associated with the CVRs was paid out at $3.50 per share, which totaled $98.1 million. The fair value of the CVRs outstanding at September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015 was $37.3 million and $28.3 million, respectively, and was determined using the closing price of the security in the active market (Level 1). For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, the change in the value of the CVRs resulted in expense of $2.3 million and $9.0 million, respectively, which was recorded in “Other income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the change in the value of the CVRs resulted in expense of $14.6 million and income of $7.3 million, respectively, which was recorded in “Other income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates the fair value of these financial instruments at September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015 due to their short maturities and variable rates.

During the first nine months of 2016, we revised opening balance accounts receivable; inventory; intangible assets; property, plant and equipment; accrued expenses and other current liabilities; and deferred tax liabilities acquired as part of the Wright/Tornier merger, which resulted in a $13.7 million decrease in the preliminary value of goodwill determined as of December 27, 2015. See Note 3 for additional discussion of these adjustments.

During the first quarter of 2016, our management, including our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, began managing our operations as four operating segments: U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, International Extremities & Biologics, and Large Joints, based on our chief executive officer's review of financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources and to assess the operating results and financial performance of each segment. Management's change to the way it monitors performance, aligns strategies, and allocates resources resulted in a change in our reportable segments (see Note 14). We have determined that each reportable segment represents a reporting unit and, in accordance with ASC 350, requires an allocation of goodwill to each reporting unit.  We allocated $219 million, $559 million, and $79 million of goodwill to the U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, and International Extremities & Biologics reportable segments, respectively. As a result of the sale of the Large Joints Business, the $8.5 million and $9.4 million balances of goodwill which was allocated to the Large Joints reportable segment as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, have been reclassified to assets held for sale within the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The change in segment reporting also required an interim review of potential goodwill impairment which we performed as of February 2016, the segment reorganization date. Upon completion of this analysis, we determined that the fair value of our reporting units, determined primarily by an income approach using projected cash flows, exceeded their carrying values; and therefore, no goodwill was impaired.

2021 Notes

On May 20, 2016, we issued $395 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes pursuant to an indenture (2021 Notes Indenture), dated as of May 20, 2016, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2021 Notes will pay interest at an annual rate of 2.25% semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15, beginning on November 15, 2016, and will mature on November 15, 2021 unless earlier converted or repurchased. The 2021 Notes are convertible, subject to certain conditions, solely into cash. The initial conversion rate for the 2021 Notes will be 46.8165 ordinary shares (subject to adjustment as provided in the 2021 Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of the 2021 Notes Indenture), which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $21.36 per ordinary share. We may not redeem the 2021 Notes prior to the maturity date, and no “sinking fund” is available for the 2021 Notes, which means that we are not required to redeem or retire the 2021 Notes periodically.

The holders of the 2021 Notes may convert their 2021 Notes at any time prior to May 15, 2021 solely into cash, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, upon satisfaction of one or more of the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2016 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2021 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after May 15, 2021 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2021 Notes solely into cash, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, a holder will receive an amount in cash, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, equal to the settlement amount as calculated under the 2021 Notes Indenture. If we undergo a fundamental change, as defined in the 2021 Notes Indenture, subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2021 Notes will have the option to require us to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their 2021 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date, as defined in the 2021 Notes Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate transactions, we, under certain circumstances, will increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2021 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction. The 2021 Notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank: (i) senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2021 Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of our unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries. As a result of this transaction, we recorded deferred financing charges of approximately $7.3 million, which are being amortized over the term of the 2021 Notes using the effective interest method.

The 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative requires bifurcation from the 2021 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative. The fair value of the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2021 Notes was $117.2 million and was recorded as original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the 2021 Notes. This discount is amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2021 Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, we recorded $4.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount based upon an effective rate of 9.72%.

The components of the 2021 Notes were as follows (in thousands):

The estimated fair value of the 2021 Notes was approximately $498.2 million at September 25, 2016, based on a quoted price in an active market (Level 1).

We entered into 2021 Notes Hedges in connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes with two counterparties. The 2021 Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are generally intended to reduce our exposure to potential cash payments that we would be required to make if holders elect to convert the 2021 Notes at a time when our ordinary share price exceeds the conversion price. However, in connection with certain events, including, among others, (i) a merger or other make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the 2021 Notes Indenture), (ii) certain hedging disruption events, which may include changes in tax laws, an increase in the cost of borrowing our ordinary shares in the market or other material increases in the cost to the option counterparties of hedging the 2021 Note Hedges, (iii) our failure to perform certain obligations under the 2021 Notes Indenture or under the 2021 Notes Hedges, (iv) certain payment defaults on our existing indebtedness in excess of $25 million or (v) if we or any of our significant subsidiaries become insolvent or otherwise becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings, the option counterparties have the discretion to terminate the 2021 Notes Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2021 Notes Hedges. In addition, the option counterparties have broad discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2021 Notes Hedges and warrant transactions upon the occurrence of certain other events, including, among others, (i) any adjustment to the conversion rate of the 2021 Notes, or (ii) upon the announcement of certain significant corporate events, including events that may give rise to a termination event as described above, such as the announcement of a third-party tender offer. Any such adjustment may also reduce the effectiveness of the 2021 Note Hedges. The aggregate cost of the 2021 Notes Hedges was $99.8 million and is accounted for as a derivative asset in accordance with ASC Topic 815. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2021 Notes Hedges and the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative.

We also entered into warrant transactions in which we sold warrants for an aggregate of 18.5 million ordinary shares to the two option counterparties, subject to adjustment, for an aggregate of $54.6 million. The strike price of the warrants is $30.00 per share, which was 69% above the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares on May 12, 2016. The warrants are expected to be net-share settled and exercisable over the 100 trading day period beginning on February 15, 2022. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect on our ordinary shares to the extent that the market value per ordinary share during such period exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to warrant transactions, which may increase our obligations under the warrant transactions.

Aside from the initial payment of the $99.8 million premium in the aggregate to the two option counterparties and subject to the right of the option counterparties to terminate the 2021 Notes Hedges in certain circumstances, we do not expect to be required to make any cash payments to the option counterparties under the 2021 Notes Hedges and expect to be entitled to receive from the option counterparties cash, generally equal to the amount by which the market price per ordinary share exceeds the strike price of the convertible note hedging transactions during the relevant valuation period. The strike price under the 2021 Notes Hedges is initially equal to the conversion price of the 2021 Notes. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2021 Note Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2021 Note Hedges. Additionally, if the market value per ordinary share exceeds the strike price on any settlement date under the warrant transaction, we will generally be obligated to issue to the option counterparties in the aggregate a number of shares equal in value to one percent of the amount by which the then-current market value of one ordinary share exceeds the then-effective strike price

of each warrant, multiplied by the number of ordinary shares into which the 2021 Notes are initially convertible. We will not receive any additional proceeds if warrants are exercised.

As described in more detail below, concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes exchanged their 2017 Notes or 2020 Notes for the 2021 Notes.

2020 Notes

On February 13, 2015, WMG issued $632.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes pursuant to an indenture (2020 Notes Indenture), dated as of February 13, 2015 between WMG and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2020 Notes require interest to be paid semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15 at an annual rate of 2.00%, and mature on February 15, 2020 unless earlier converted or repurchased. The 2020 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder, during certain periods and subject to certain conditions described below, solely into cash at an initial conversion rate of 32.3939 shares of WMG common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $30.87 per share of WMG common stock. On November 24, 2015, Wright Medical Group N.V. executed a supplemental indenture, fully and unconditionally guaranteeing, on a senior unsecured basis, WMG’s obligations relating to the 2020 Notes, changing the underlying reference securities from WMG common stock to Wright Medical Group N.V. ordinary shares and making a corresponding adjustment to the conversion price. From and after the effective time of the Wright/Tornier merger, (i) all calculations and other determinations with respect to the 2020 Notes previously based on references to WMG common stock are calculated or determined by reference to our ordinary shares, and (ii) the conversion rate (as defined in the 2020 Notes Indenture) for the 2020 Notes was adjusted to an initial conversion rate of 33.39487 ordinary shares (subject to adjustment as provided in the 2020 Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $29.94 per ordinary share (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of the 2020 Notes Indenture). The 2020 Notes may not be redeemed by WMG prior to the maturity date, and no “sinking fund” is available for the 2020 Notes, which means that WMG is not required to redeem or retire the 2020 Notes periodically.

The holders of the 2020 Notes may convert their notes at any time prior to August 15, 2019 solely into cash, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, upon satisfaction of one or more of the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. The Wright/Tornier merger did not result in a conversion right for holders of the 2020 Notes. On or after August 15, 2019 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2020 Notes solely into cash, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, a holder will receive an amount in cash, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, equal to the settlement amount as calculated under the 2020 Notes Indenture. If WMG undergoes a fundamental change, as defined in the 2020 Notes Indenture, subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2020 Notes will have the option to require WMG to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date, as defined in the 2020 Notes Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate transactions, WMG, under certain circumstances, will increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2020 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction. The 2020 Notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank: (i) senior in right of payment to any of WMG's indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2020 Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of WMG's unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of WMG's subsidiaries. In conjunction with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, we recorded deferred financing charges of approximately $18 million, which are being amortized over the term of the 2020 Notes using the effective interest method.

The 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative requires bifurcation from the 2020 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative. The fair value of the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2020 Notes was $149.8 million and was recorded as original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the 2020 Notes. This discount is amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2020 Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, we recorded $6.3 million and $19.4 million,

27

WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP N.V.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(UNAUDITED)

respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount based upon an effective rate of 8.54%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $6.1 million and $15.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount based upon an effective rate of 8.54%.

Concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of the 2020 Notes exchanged approximately $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of their 2020 Notes for the 2021 Notes. For each $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes validly submitted for exchange, we delivered $990.00 principal amount of the 2021 Notes (subject to rounding down to the nearest $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, the difference being referred as the rounded amount) to the investor plus an amount of cash equal to the unpaid interest on the 2020 Notes and the rounded amount. As a result of this note exchange and retirement of $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes, we recognized approximately $9.3 million for the write-off of related pro-rata unamortized deferred financing fees and debt discount within “Other income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 25, 2016.

The components of the 2020 Notes were as follows (in thousands):

	September 25, 2016			December 27, 2015
Principal amount of 2020 Notes	$	587,500		$	632,500
Unamortized debt discount	(100,226		)	(127,953		)
Unamortized debt issuance costs	(12,174		)	(15,541		)
Net carrying amount of 2020 Notes1	$	475,100		$	489,006

¹  The prior period debt issuance costs were reclassified to account for adoption of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 (See Note 2).

The estimated fair value of the 2020 Notes was approximately $629.0 million at September 25, 2016, based on a quoted price in an active market (Level 1).

WMG entered into the 2020 Notes Hedges in connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes with three option counterparties. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the 2020 Notes Hedges. The 2020 Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are generally intended to reduce WMG's exposure to potential cash payments that WMG would be required to make if holders elect to convert the 2020 Notes at a time when our ordinary share price exceeds the conversion price. However, in connection with certain events, including, among others, (i) a merger or other make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the 2020 Notes indenture), (ii) certain hedging disruption events, which may include changes in tax laws, an increase in the cost of borrowing our ordinary shares in the market or other material increases in the cost to the option counterparties of hedging the 2020 Note Hedges, (iii) WMG's failure to perform certain obligations under the 2020 Notes Indenture or under the 2020 Notes Hedges, (iv) certain payment defaults on WMG's existing indebtedness in excess of $25 million or (v) if WMG or any of its significant subsidiaries become insolvent or otherwise becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings, the option counterparties have the discretion to terminate the 2020 Note Hedges at a value determined by them in a commercially reasonable manner and/or adjust the terms of the 2020 Note Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2020 Note Hedges. In addition, the option counterparties have broad discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2020 Notes Hedges upon the occurrence of certain other events, including, among others, (i) any adjustment to the conversion rate of the 2020 Notes, or (ii) upon the announcement of certain significant corporate events, including events that may give rise to a termination event as described above, such as the announcement of a third-party tender offer. Any such adjustment may also reduce the effectiveness of the 2020 Note Hedges. The aggregate cost of the 2020 Notes Hedges was $144.8 million and is accounted for as a derivative asset in accordance with ASC Topic 815. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2020 Notes Hedges and the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative.

WMG also entered into warrant transactions in which it sold warrants for an aggregate of 20.5 million shares of WMG common stock to the three option counterparties, subject to adjustment. The strike price of the warrants was initially $40 per share of WMG common stock, which was 59% above the last reported sale price of WMG common stock on February 9, 2015. On November 24, 2015, Wright Medical Group N.V. assumed WMG's obligations pursuant to the warrants. Following the assumption, the warrants became exercisable for 21.1 million Wright Medical Group N.V. ordinary shares and the strike price of the warrants was adjusted to $38.8010 per ordinary share. The warrants are expected to be net-share settled and exercisable over the 200 trading day period beginning on May 15, 2020. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect on our ordinary shares to the extent that the market value per ordinary share during such period exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. However, in connection with certain

28

WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP N.V.

(UNAUDITED)

events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to warrant transactions, which may increase our obligations under the warrant transactions.

During the three months ended June 26, 2016, we settled a portion of the 2020 Notes Hedges (receiving $3.9 million) and repurchased warrants for an aggregate of 1.5 million ordinary shares (paying $3.3 million) associated with the 2020 Notes.

Aside from the initial payment of the $144.8 million premium in the aggregate to the option counterparties, we do not expect to be required to make any cash payments to the option counterparties under the 2020 Notes Hedges and expect to be entitled to receive from the option counterparties cash, generally equal to the amount by which the market price per ordinary share exceeds the strike price of the convertible note hedging transactions during the relevant valuation period. The strike price under the 2020 Notes Hedges is initially equal to the conversion price of the 2020 Notes. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2020 Note Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2020 Note Hedges. Additionally, if the market value per ordinary share exceeds the strike price on any settlement date under the warrant transaction, we will generally be obligated to issue to the option counterparties in the aggregate a number of ordinary shares equal in value to one half of one percent of the amount by which the then-current market value of one ordinary share exceeds the then-effective strike price of each warrant, multiplied by the number of reference ordinary shares into which the 2020 Notes are initially convertible. We will not receive any additional proceeds if warrants are exercised.

2017 Notes

On August 31, 2012, WMG issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes pursuant to an indenture (2017 Notes Indenture), dated as of August 31, 2012 between WMG and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2017 Notes mature on August 15, 2017, and we pay interest on the 2017 Notes semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15 at an annual rate of 2.00%. WMG may not redeem the 2017 Notes prior to the maturity date, and no “sinking fund” is available for the 2017 Notes, which means that WMG is not required to redeem or retire the 2017 Notes periodically. The 2017 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder, during certain periods and subject to certain conditions as described below, solely into cash at an initial conversion rate of 39.3140 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2017 Notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events, which represents an initial conversion price of $25.44 per share. Holders may convert their 2017 Notes at any time prior to February 15, 2017 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2012 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. While we currently do not expect significant conversions because the 2017 Notes currently trade at a premium to the as-converted value, and a converting holder would forego future interest payments, any conversions would reduce our cash resources. On or after February 15, 2017 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2017 Notes solely into cash, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, a holder will receive an amount in cash, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2017 Notes, equal to the settlement amount as calculated under the 2017 Notes Indenture. If we undergo a fundamental change, as defined in the 2017 Notes Indenture, subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2017 Notes will have the option to require WMG to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their 2017 Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date, as defined in the 2017 Notes Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate transactions, WMG, under certain circumstances, will pay a cash make-whole premium by increasing the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2017 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction. The 2017 Notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank: (i) senior in right of payment to any of WMG's indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2017 Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of WMG's unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of WMG's subsidiaries. As a result of this transaction, we recognized deferred financing charges of approximately $8.8 million, which are being amortized over the term of the 2017 Notes using the effective interest method.

The 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative requires bifurcation from the 2017 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative. The fair value of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2017 Notes was $48.1 million and was recorded as original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the 2017 Notes. This discount is amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over

the term of the 2017 Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, we recorded $18 thousand and $918 thousand, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount, respectively, based upon an effective rate of 6.47%. For the three and nine ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $0.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount, respectively, based upon an effective rate of 6.47%.

In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, on February 13, 2015, WMG repurchased and extinguished $240 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes and settled all of the 2017 Notes Hedges (receiving $70 million) and repurchased all of the warrants (paying $60 million) associated with the 2017 Notes. As a result of the repurchase, we recognized approximately $25.1 million for the write-off of related pro-rata unamortized deferred financing fees and debt discount within “Other income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of the 2017 Notes exchanged approximately $54.4 million aggregate principal amount their 2017 Notes for the 2021 Notes. For each $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes validly submitted for exchange, we delivered $1,035.40 principal amount of 2021 Notes (subject to rounding down to the nearest $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, the difference being referred as the rounded amount) to the investor plus an amount of cash equal to the unpaid interest on the 2017 Notes and the rounded amount. In addition, during the three months ended June 26, 2016, we repurchased and extinguished an additional $3.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes in privately negotiated transactions. As a result of this exchange and these repurchases, we recognized approximately $3.0 million for the write-off of related pro-rata unamortized deferred financing fees and debt discount within “Other income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 25, 2016.

The components of the 2017 Notes were as follows (in thousands):

	September 25, 2016			December 27, 2015
Principal amount of 2017 Notes	$	2,026		$	60,000
Unamortized debt discount	(66		)	(3,495		)
Unamortized debt issuance costs	(11		)	(640		)
Net carrying amount of 2017 Notes1	$	1,949		$	55,865

¹  The prior period debt issuance costs were reclassified to account for adoption of ASU 2015-03 and 2015-15 (See Note 2).

The estimated fair value of the 2017 Notes was approximately $2.1 million at September 25, 2016, based on a quoted price in an active market (Level 1).

Mortgages and Shareholder Debt

The Company has mortgages and other debt that had an outstanding balance of $3.0 million and $2.7 million at September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015. The majority of this debt is mortgages that were acquired as a result of the Wright/Tornier merger. These mortgages are secured by an office building in Montbonnot, France and bear fixed annual interest rates of 2.55%-4.9%.

The shareholder debt is the result of a 2008 transaction where a 51%-owned and consolidated subsidiary of legacy Tornier borrowed $2.2 million from a then-current member of the legacy Tornier board of directors, who was also a 49% owner of the consolidated subsidiary. This loan was used to partially fund the purchase of real estate in Grenoble, France, to be used as a manufacturing facility. Interest on the debt is variable-based on the three-month Euro Libor rate plus 0.5% and has no stated term. The outstanding balance on this debt was $1.9 million and $2.0 million as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, respectively.

10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI)

Other comprehensive income (OCI) includes certain gains and losses that under US GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are initially recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity. Amounts in OCI may be reclassified to net income upon the occurrence of certain events.

Our 2016 and 2015 OCI is comprised solely of foreign currency translation adjustments.

12. Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share

We are authorized to issue up to 320 million ordinary shares, each share with a par value of three Euro cents (€0.03). We had 103.2 million and 102.7 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, respectively. As discussed in Note 3, the Wright/Tornier merger completed on October 1, 2015 was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” under US GAAP. As such, legacy Wright was considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes; and therefore, legacy Wright’s historical results of operations replaced legacy Tornier’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger.

Additionally, each legacy Wright share was converted into the right to receive 1.0309 ordinary shares of the combined company and the par value was revised to reflect the €0.03 par value as compared to the legacy Wright par value of $0.01. These changes resulted in the restatement of the following to conform to the current presentation:

• ordinary shares and additional paid-in capital balances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included in Note 11;

• September 30, 2015 earnings per share and weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding on the statements of operations; and

• September 30, 2015 weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding below.

FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to include any dilutive effect of our ordinary share equivalents. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, our ordinary share equivalents consisted of stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, our ordinary share equivalents consisted of stock options, non-vested ordinary shares, restricted stock units, and warrants. The dilutive effect of the stock options, non-vested ordinary shares, restricted stock units, and warrants is calculated using the treasury-stock method. Net-share settled warrants on the 2017 Notes, 2020 Notes, and 2021 Notes were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

We had outstanding options to purchase 10.7 million ordinary shares and 1.4 million restricted stock units at September 25, 2016 and options to purchase 4.3 million ordinary shares and 0.3 million restricted stock units and restricted stock awards at September 30, 2015. None of the options, restricted stock units, or restricted stock awards were included in diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015 because we recorded a net loss for all periods; and therefore, including these instruments would be anti-dilutive.

The weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share purposes is as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 25, 2016	September 30, 2015	September 25, 2016	September 30, 2015
Weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding — basic1	103,072	52,750	102,854	52,607
Weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding — diluted1	103,072	52,750	102,854	52,607

¹  The prior period balances were converted to meet post-merger valuations as described above.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

The legal contingencies described in this footnote relate primarily to Wright Medical Technology, Inc. (WMT), an indirect subsidiary of Wright Medical Group N.V., and are not necessarily applicable to Wright Medical Group N.V. or other affiliated entities. Maintaining separate legal entities within our corporate structure is intended to ring-fence liabilities.  We believe our ring-fenced structure should preclude corporate veil-piercing efforts against entities whose assets are not associated with particular claims.  

As described below, our business is subject to various contingencies, including patent and other litigation, product liability claims, and a government inquiry.  These contingencies could result in losses, including damages, fines, or penalties, any of which could be substantial, as well as criminal charges. Although such matters are inherently unpredictable, and negative outcomes or verdicts can occur, we believe we have significant defenses in all of them, and are vigorously defending all of them. However, we could incur judgments, pay settlements, or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of any matter. Such developments, if any, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which applicable amounts are accrued, or on our cash flows in the period in which amounts are paid, however, unless otherwise indicated, we do not believe any of them will have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

(UNAUDITED)

Our legal contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss or the measurement of a loss can be complex. We have accrued for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Unless otherwise indicated, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued.  Our assessment process relies on estimates and assumptions that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that could cause us to change our estimates and assumptions.

Governmental Inquiries

On August 3, 2012, we received a subpoena from the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Tennessee requesting records and documentation relating to our PROFEMUR^® series of hip replacement devices. The subpoena covers the period from January 1, 2000 to August 2, 2012. We continue to cooperate with the investigation.

Patent Litigation

In 2011, Howmedica Osteonics Corp. and Stryker Ireland, Ltd. (collectively, Stryker), each a subsidiary of Stryker Corporation, filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that we infringed Stryker's U.S. Patent No. 6,475,243 related to our LINEAGE^®Acetabular Cup System and DYNASTY^® Acetabular Cup System. The lawsuit seeks an order of infringement, injunctive relief, unspecified damages, and various other costs and relief. On July 9, 2013, the Court issued a claim construction ruling. On November 25, 2014, the Court entered judgment of non-infringement in our favor. On January 7, 2015, Stryker filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Court of Appeals heard oral argument on December 10, 2015 and, on May 12, 2016, upheld the lower court’s decision. Stryker subsequently filed a combined petition for rehearing with the Court of Appeals, which was denied on July 15, 2016. The deadline for filing a petition for a hearing with the United States Supreme Court expired on October 13, 2016; therefore, all appellate avenues are now exhausted.

In June 2013, Anglefix, LLC filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, alleging that our ORTHOLOC^® products infringe Anglefix’s asserted patent. On April 14, 2014, we filed a request for Inter Partes Review (IPR) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In October 2014, the Court stayed the case pending outcome of the IPR. On June 30, 2015, the Patent Office Board entered judgment in our favor as to all patent claims at issue in the IPR. Following the conclusion of the IPR, the District Court lifted the stay, and we have been continuing with our defense as to remaining patent claims asserted by Anglefix. On June 27, 2016, the Court granted in part our motion for summary judgment on Anglefix’s lack of standing and gave Anglefix 30 days to join the University of North Carolina (UNC) as a co-plaintiff in the lawsuit. On July 25, 2016, Anglefix filed a motion asking the Court to accept a waiver of claims by UNC as a substitute for joining UNC as a co-plaintiff in the lawsuit. The Court denied Anglefix’s motion, but granted leave for additional time to properly join UNC as co-plaintiff. Anglefix moved to add UNC as co-plaintiff on September 15, 2016. We have opposed that motion and oral argument is set for November 3, 2016.

On September 23, 2014, Spineology filed a patent infringement lawsuit, Case No. 0:14-cv-03767, in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota, alleging that our X-REAM^® bone reamer infringes U.S. Patent No. RE42,757 entitled “EXPANDABLE REAMER.”  In January 2015, on the deadline for service of its complaint, Spineology dismissed its complaint without prejudice and filed a new, identical complaint. We filed an answer to the new complaint with the Court on April 27, 2015 and discovery is underway. The Court conducted a Markman hearing on March 23, 2016. Mediation was held on August 11, 2016, but no agreement could be reached. The Court issued a Markman decision on August 30, 2016, in which it found all asserted product claims invalid as indefinite under applicable patent laws and construed several additional claim terms. The case is currently in expert discovery with respect to the remaining asserted method claims.

On September 13, 2016, we filed a civil action, Case No. 2:16-cv-02737-JPM, against Spineology in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee alleging breach of contract, breach of implied warranty against infringement, and seeking a judicial declaration of indemnification from Spineology for patent infringement claims brought against us stemming from our sale and/or use of certain expandable reamers purchased from Spineology. Spineology filed a motion to dismiss on October 17, 2016. A telephonic scheduling conference has been set for November 17, 2016.

On March 1, 2016, Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF) filed suit against Solana and WMT in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that the TenFUSE PIP product infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,432,436 entitled “Partially Demineralized Cortical Bone Constructs.” On May 25, 2016, we agreed to waive service of MTF’s complaint. We continue to investigate MTF’s allegations and our answer to MTF’s complaint is due on November 7, 2016.

Subject to the provisions of the asset purchase agreement with MicroPort for the sale of the OrthoRecon business, we, as between us and MicroPort, will continue to be responsible for defense of pre-existing patent infringement cases relating to the OrthoRecon business, and for resulting liabilities, if any.

Product Liability

We have received claims for personal injury against us associated with fractures of our PROFEMUR^® long titanium modular neck product (PROFEMUR^® Claims). As of September 25, 2016 there were 31 pending U.S. lawsuits and 48 pending non-U.S. lawsuits alleging such claims. The overall fracture rate for the product is low and the fractures appear, at least in part, to relate to patient demographics. Beginning in 2009, we began offering a cobalt-chrome version of our PROFEMUR^® modular neck, which has greater strength characteristics than the alternative titanium version. Historically, we have reflected our liability for these claims as part of our standard product liability accruals on a case-by-case basis. However, during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as a result of an increase in the number and monetary amount of these claims, management estimated our liability to patients in North America who have previously required a revision following a fracture of a PROFEMUR^® long titanium modular neck, or who may require a revision in the future. Management has estimated that this aggregate liability ranges from approximately $25.8 million to $30.9 million. Any claims associated with this product outside of North America, or for any other products, will be managed as part of our standard product liability accrual methodology on a case-by-case basis.

Due to the uncertainty within our aggregate range of loss resulting from the estimation of the number of claims and related monetary payments, we have recorded a liability of $25.8 million, which represents the low-end of our estimated aggregate range of loss. We have classified $12.1 million of this liability as current in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities,” as we expect to pay such claims within the next twelve months, and $13.7 million as non-current in “Other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet. We expect to pay the majority of these claims within the next three years.

We are aware that MicroPort has recalled certain sizes of its cobalt chrome modular neck products as a result of alleged fractures. As of September 25, 2016, there were two pending U.S. lawsuits and five pending non-U.S. lawsuits against us alleging personal injury resulting from the fracture of a cobalt chrome modular neck. These claims will be managed as part of our standard product liability accrual methodology on a case-by-case basis.

We have maintained product liability insurance coverage on a claims-made basis. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we received a customary reservation of rights from our primary product liability insurance carrier asserting that present and future claims related to fractures of our PROFEMUR^®titanium modular neck hip products and which allege certain types of injury (Titanium Modular Neck Claims) would be covered as a single occurrence under the policy year the first such claim was asserted. The effect of this coverage position would be to place Titanium Modular Neck Claims into a single prior policy year in which applicable claims-made coverage was available, subject to the overall policy limits then in effect. Management agrees with the assertion that the Titanium Modular Neck Claims should be treated as a single occurrence, but notified the carrier that it disputed the carrier's selection of available policy years. During the second quarter of 2013, we received confirmation from the primary carrier confirming their agreement with our policy year determination. Based on our insurer's treatment of Titanium Modular Neck Claims as a single occurrence, we increased our estimate of the total probable insurance recovery related to Titanium Modular Neck Claims by $19.4 million, and recognized such additional recovery as a reduction to our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013, within results of discontinued operations. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we received payment from the primary insurance carrier of $5 million. In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, we received payment of $10 million from the next insurance carrier in the tower. We have requested, but not yet received, payment of the remaining $25 million from the third insurance carrier in the tower for that policy period. The policies with the second and third carrier in this tower are “follow form” policies and management believes the third carrier should follow the coverage position taken by the primary and secondary carriers. On September 29, 2015, that third carrier asserted that the terms and conditions identified in its reservation of rights will preclude coverage for the Titanium Modular Neck Claims. We strongly dispute the carrier's position and, in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of the policy, have initiated an arbitration proceeding in London, England seeking payment of these funds. Pursuant to applicable accounting standards, we reduced our insurance receivable balance for this claim to $0, and recorded a $25 million charge within "Net loss from discontinued operations" during the year ended December 27, 2015. The arbitration proceeding is ongoing.

Claims for personal injury have also been made against us associated with our metal-on-metal hip products (primarily our CONSERVE^® product line). The pre-trial management of certain of these claims has been consolidated in the federal court system, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia under multi-district litigation (MDL) and certain other claims by the Judicial Counsel Coordinated Proceedings (JCCP) in state court in Los Angeles County, California (collectively the Consolidated Metal-on-Metal Claims).

As of September 25, 2016, there were approximately 1,200 lawsuits pending in the MDL and JCCP, and an additional 30 cases pending in various state courts. As of that date, we have also entered into approximately 950 so called "tolling agreements" with potential claimants who have not yet filed suit. Based on presently available information, we believe at least 350 of these lawsuits allege claims involving bilateral implants. As of September 25, 2016, there were also 50 non-U.S. lawsuits pending. We believe

35

(UNAUDITED)

we have data that supports the efficacy and safety of our metal-on-metal hip products. While continuing to dispute liability, we have participated in court supervised non-binding mediation in the MDL and expect to begin similar mediation in the JCCP.

Every metal-on-metal hip case involves fundamental issues of law, science and medicine that often are uncertain, that continue to evolve, and which present contested facts and issues that can differ significantly from case to case. Such contested facts and issues include medical causation, individual patient characteristics, surgery specific factors, statutes of limitation, and the existence of actual, provable injury.

The first bellwether trial in the MDL commenced on November 9, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia. On November 24, 2015, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the plaintiff $1 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages. We believe there were significant trial irregularities and vigorously contested the trial result. On December 28, 2015, we filed a post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law or, in the alternative, for a new trial or a reduction of damages awarded. On April 5, 2016, the trial judge issued an order reducing the punitive damage award from $10 million to $1.1 million, but otherwise denied our motion. On May 4, 2016, we filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Our appeal is pending. In light of the trial judge’s April 5^th order, we recorded an accrual for this verdict in the amount of $2.1 million within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities,” and a $2.1 million receivable associated with the probable recovery from product liability insurance is reflected within “Other current assets.”

The first bellwether trial in the JCCP, which was scheduled to commence on October 31, 2016, has been rescheduled to January 9, 2017. The parties are currently in an expert discovery and pre-trial procedure phase.

The first state court metal-on-metal hip trial not part of the MDL or JCCP commenced on October 24, 2016, in St. Louis, Missouri. As of November 3, 2016, that trial is in process and is being vigorously defended by WMT.

On November 1, 2016, WMT entered into a Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) with Court-appointed attorneys representing plaintiffs in the MDL and JCCP. Under the terms of the MSA, the parties agreed to settle 1,292 specifically identified claims associated with CONSERVE^®, DYNASTY^® and LINEAGE^® products that meet the eligibility requirements of the MSA and are either pending in the MDL or JCCP, or subject to court-approved tolling agreements in the MDL or JCCP, for a settlement amount of $240 million.

The $240 million settlement amount is a maximum settlement based on the pool of 1,292 specific, existing claims comprised of an identified mix of CONSERVE^®, DYNASTY^® and LINEAGE^® products (Initial Settlement Pool), with a value assigned to each product type, resulting in a total settlement of $240 million for the 1,292 claims in the Initial Settlement Pool. The actual settlement may be less, depending on several factors including the mix of products and claimants in the final settlement pool (Final Settlement Pool) and the number of claimants electing to “opt-out” of the settlement.

Actual settlements paid to individual claimants will be determined under the claims administration procedures contained in the MSA and may be more or less than the amounts used to calculate the $240 million settlement for the 1,292 claims in the Initial Settlement Pool. However in no event will variations in actual settlement amounts payable to individual claimants affect WMT’s maximum settlement obligation of $240 million or the manner in which it may be reduced due to opt outs, final product mix, or elimination of ineligible claims.

If it is determined a claim in the Initial Settlement Pool is ineligible due to failure to meet the eligibility criteria of the MSA, such claim will be removed and, where possible, replaced with a new eligible claim involving the same product, with the goal of having the number and mix of claims in the Final Settlement Pool (before opt-outs) equal, as nearly as possible, the number and mix of claims in the Initial Settlement Pool. Additionally, if any DYNASTY^® or LINEAGE^® claims in the Final Settlement Pool are determined to have been misidentified as CONSERVE^® claims, or vice versa, the total settlement amount will be adjusted based on the value for each product type (not to exceed $240 million).

The MSA contains specific eligibility requirements and establishes procedures for proof and administration of claims, negotiation and execution of individual settlement agreements, determination of the final total settlement amount, and funding of individual settlement amounts by WMT. Eligibility requirements include, without limitation, that the claimant has a claim pending or tolled in the MDL or JCCP, that the claimant has undergone a revision surgery within eight years of the original implantation surgery, and that the claim has not been identified by WMT as having possible statute of limitation issues. Claimants who have had bilateral revision surgeries will be counted as two claims but only to the extent both claims separately satisfy all eligibility criteria.

The MSA includes a 95% opt-in requirement, meaning the MSA may be terminated by WMT prior to any settlement disbursement if claimants holding greater than 5% of eligible claims in the Final Settlement Pool elect to “opt-out” of the settlement. WMT, in its sole discretion, may waive this 95% opt-in requirement. No funding of any individual plaintiff settlement will occur until the 95% opt-in requirement has been satisfied or waived.

WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP N.V.

(UNAUDITED)

WMT has agreed to escrow $150 million to secure its obligations under the MSA. The escrow fund will be returned to WMT if the MSA is terminated due to failure to meet the 95% opt-in requirement. As additional security, Wright Medical Group N.V., the indirect parent company of WMT, agreed to guaranty WMT’s obligations under the MSA.

The MSA was entered into solely as a compromise of the disputed claims being settled and is not evidence that any claim has merit nor is it an admission of wrongdoing or liability by WMT. WMT will continue to vigorously defend metal-on-metal hip claims not settled pursuant to the MSA. As of September 25, 2016, we estimate there were approximately 600 outstanding metal-on-metal hip revision claims that would not be included in the MSA settlement, including approximately 200 claims with an implant duration of more than eight years, approximately 300 claims subject to possible statute of limitations preclusion, approximately 30 claims pending in U.S courts other than the MDL and JCCP, approximately 50 claims pending in non-U.S. courts, and approximately 20 claims that would be eligible for inclusion in the settlement but for the participation limitations contained in the MSA. We also estimate that there were approximately 700 outstanding metal-on-metal hip non-revision claims as of September 25, 2016. These non-revision cases are excluded from the MSA.

As of September 25, 2016, our accrual for metal-on-metal claims totaled $250.9 million, of which $242.7 million is included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and $8.2 million is included within “Other liabilities.”  Our accrual is based on (i) case by case accruals for specific cases where facts and circumstances warrant, including the $2.1 million accrual associated with the MDL bellwether verdict, and (ii) the implied settlement values for eligible claims under the MSA (assuming, in the absence of opt-in data, a 100% opt-in rate). We are unable to reasonably estimate the high-end of a possible range of loss for claims which may in the future elect to opt-out of the MSA settlement. Claims we can confirm would meet MSA eligibility criteria but are excluded from settlement due to the $240 million maximum settlement cap, or because they are state cases not part of the MDL or JCCP, have been accrued as though included in the settlement. Due to the general uncertainties surrounding all metal-on metal claims as noted above, as well as insufficient information about individual claims, we are presently unable to reasonably estimate a range of loss for revision claims that (i) do not meet MSA eligibility criteria, or (ii) are future claims; hence we have not accrued for these claims at the present time. However, we believe the high-end of a possible range of loss for existing revision claims that do not meet MSA eligibility criteria will not, on an average per case basis, exceed the average per case accrual we have taken for revision claims we can confirm do meet MSA eligibility criteria. Future claims will be evaluated for accrual on a case by case basis using the accrual methodologies described above (which could change if future facts and circumstances warrant).

We have maintained product liability insurance coverage on a claims-made basis. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we received a customary reservation of rights from our primary product liability insurance carrier asserting that certain present and future claims which allege certain types of injury related to our CONSERVE^® metal-on-metal hip products (CONSERVE^® Claims) would be covered as a single occurrence under the policy year the first such claim was asserted. The effect of this coverage position would be to place CONSERVE^® Claims into a single prior policy year in which applicable claims-made coverage was available, subject to the overall policy limits then in effect. Management agrees that there is insurance coverage for the CONSERVE^® Claims, but has notified the carrier that it disputes the carrier's characterization of the CONSERVE^® Claims as a single occurrence.

In June 2014, St. Paul Surplus Lines Insurance Company (Travelers), which was an excess carrier in our coverage towers across multiple policy years, filed a declaratory judgment action in Tennessee state court naming us and certain of our other insurance carriers as defendants and asking the court to rule on the rights and responsibilities of the parties with regard to the CONSERVE^® Claims. Among other things, Travelers appears to dispute our contention that the CONSERVE^® Claims arise out of more than a single occurrence thereby triggering multiple policy periods of coverage.  Travelers further seeks a determination as to the applicable policy period triggered by the alleged single occurrence.  We filed a separate lawsuit in state court in California for declaratory judgment against certain carriers and breach of contract against the primary carrier, and have moved to dismiss or stay the Tennessee action on a number of grounds, including that California is the most appropriate jurisdiction. During the third quarter of 2014, the California Court granted Travelers' motion to stay our California action. On April 29, 2016, we filed a dispositive motion seeking partial judgment in our favor in the Tennessee action. On June 10, 2016, Travelers withdrew its motion for summary judgment in the Tennessee action.

On October 28, 2016, WMT and Wright Medical Group, Inc. (Wright Entities), entered into a Settlement Agreement, Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement and Policy Buyback Agreement (Insurance Settlement Agreement) with a subgroup of three insurance carriers, namely Columbia Casualty Company, Travelers and AXIS Surplus Lines Insurance Company (collectively, the Three Settling Insurers), pursuant to which the Three Settling Insurers agreed to pay WMT an aggregate of $60 million (in addition to $10 million previously paid by Columbia) in a lump sum on or before the 30^th business day after execution of the Insurance Settlement Agreement. This amount will be in full satisfaction of all potential liability of the Three Settling Insurers relating to metal-on-metal hip and similar metal ion release claims, including but not limited to all claims in the MDL and the JCCP, and all

37

WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP N.V.

(UNAUDITED)

claims asserted by WMT against the Three Settling Insurers in the Tennessee action described above.

As part of the settlement, the Three Settling Insurers will buy back from WMT their policies in the five policy years beginning with the August 15, 2007- August 15, 2008 policy year (Repurchased Policy Years). Consequently, the Wright Entities will have no further coverage from the Three Settling Insurers for any present or future claims falling in the Repurchased Policy Years, or any other period in which a released claim is asserted. Additionally, the Insurance Settlement Agreement contains a so-called most favored nation provision which could require us to refund a pro rata portion of the settlement amount if we voluntarily enter into a settlement with the remaining carriers in the Repurchased Policy Years on certain terms more favorable than analogous terms in the Insurance Settlement Agreement. The Tennessee action will continue as to the remaining defendant insurers other than the Three Settling Insurers.

Management has recorded an insurance receivable of $68.7 million for the probable recovery of spending in excess of our retention for a single occurrence and for the anticipated proceeds from the settlement with the Three Settling Insurers described above. As of September 25, 2016, we have received $11.7 million of insurance proceeds, and our insurance carriers have paid a total of $4.6 million directly to claimants in connection with various settlements, which represents amounts undisputed by the carriers. Our acceptance of these proceeds was not a waiver of any other claim we may have against the insurance carriers. However, the amount we ultimately receive will depend on the outcome of our dispute with the remaining carriers (other than the Three Settling Carriers) concerning the number of policy years available. We believe our contracts with the insurance carriers are enforceable for these claims; and, therefore, we believe it is probable we will receive additional recoveries from the remaining carriers. Settlement discussions with the remaining insurance carriers continue.

Given the substantial or indeterminate amounts sought in these matters, and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, an adverse outcome in these matters in excess of the amounts included in our accrual for contingencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Future revisions to our estimates of these provisions could materially impact our results of operations and financial position. We use the best information available to determine the level of accrued product liabilities, and believe our accruals are adequate.

In June 2015, a jury returned a $4.4 million verdict against us in a case involving a fractured hip implant stem sold prior to the MicroPort closing.  This was a one-of-a-kind case unrelated to the modular neck fracture cases we have been reporting. There are no other cases pending related to this component, nor are we aware of other instances where this component has fractured. In September 2015, the trial judge reduced the jury verdict to $1.025 million and indicated that if the plaintiff did not accept the reduced award he would schedule a new trial solely on the issue of damages. The plaintiff elected not to accept the reduced damage award, and both parties have appealed. The Court has not set a date for a new trial on the issue of damages and we do not expect it will do so until the appeals are adjudicated. We will maintain our current $4.4 million accrual as a probable liability until the matter is resolved. The $4.4 million probable liability associated with this matter is reflected within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities,” and a $4 million receivable associated with the probable recovery from product liability insurance is reflected within “Other current assets.”

Other

In addition to those noted above, we are subject to various other legal proceedings, product liability claims, corporate governance, and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business.

14. Segment Information

During the first quarter of 2016, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, began managing our operations as four operating business segments: U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, International Extremities & Biologics, and Large Joints. We determined that each of these operating segments represented a reportable segment. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources and to assess the operating results and performance of each segment.  As a result of the classification of the Large Joints Business as a discontinued operation during the second quarter of 2016, the Large Joints reportable segment is presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations and is not included in segment results for all periods presented. See Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding this divestiture. U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, and International Extremities & Biologics are our remaining three reportable segments as of September 25, 2016.

Our U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics segment consists of our operations focused on the sale in the U.S. of our lower extremities products, such as joint implants and bone fixation devices for the foot and ankle and our biologics products used to support treatment

Our U.S. Upper Extremities segment consists of our operations focused on the sale in the U.S. of our upper extremities products, such as joint implants and bone fixation devices for the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand and products used across several anatomic sites to mechanically repair tissue-to-tissue or tissue-to-bone injuries and other ancillary products. Our International Extremities and Biologics segment consists of our operations focused on the sale outside the U.S. of all lower and upper extremities products, including associated biologics products.

Management measures segment profitability using an internal operating performance measure that excludes the impact of inventory step-up amortization and due diligence, transaction and transition costs associated with acquisitions, as such items are not considered representative of segment results. Management's change to the way it monitors performance, aligns strategies, and allocates resources results in a change in our reportable segments and a change in reporting units for goodwill impairment measurement purposes. We have determined that each reportable segment represents a reporting unit and, in accordance with ASC 350, requires an allocation of goodwill to each reporting unit. As of September 25, 2016, we have allocated $219 million, $559 million, and $79 million of goodwill to the U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, and International Extremities & Biologics reportable segments, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations describes the principal factors affecting the results of our operations, financial condition, and changes in financial condition for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2015, which includes additional information about our critical accounting policies and practices and risk factors, and "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in this report.

Background

On October 1, 2015, we became Wright Medical Group N.V. following the merger of Wright Medical Group, Inc. with Tornier N.V. Upon completion of the merger, Robert J. Palmisano, former President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of legacy Wright, became President and CEO of the combined company, and Lance A. Berry, former Senior Vice President (SVP) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of legacy Wright, became SVP and CFO. Immediately upon completion of the merger, legacy Wright shareholders owned approximately 52% of the combined company and legacy Tornier shareholders owned approximately 48%, and our board of directors was comprised of five representatives from legacy Wright’s board of directors and five representatives from legacy Tornier’s board of directors. In connection with the merger, the trading symbol for our ordinary shares changed from “TRNX” to “WMGI.” Because of these and other facts and circumstances, the merger was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” under US GAAP, and as such, legacy Wright was considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. Therefore, legacy Wright’s historical results of operations replaced legacy Tornier’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger. More specifically, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the merger are those of legacy Wright and its subsidiaries, and for periods subsequent to the merger also include legacy Tornier and its subsidiaries.

During the first quarter of 2016, our management, including our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, began managing our operations as four operating business segments: U.S. Lower Extremities and Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, International Extremities and Biologics, and Large Joints. We determined that each of these operating segments represents a reportable segment.

On October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter dated as of July 8, 2016, we, Corin Orthopaedics Holdings Limited (Corin), and certain other entities related to us and Corin entered into a business sale agreement (Sale Agreement) and simultaneously completed and closed the sale of our Large Joints business. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, we sold substantially all of our assets related to the Large Joints business to Corin for approximately €29.7 million in cash, less approximately €10.6 million for net working capital adjustments. We determined that the Large Joints business meets the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. As such, the financial results of our Large Joints business have been reflected within discontinued operations for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted, and the discussion below is on a continuing operations basis.

On January 9, 2014, legacy Wright completed the sale of its hip and knee (OrthoRecon) business to MicroPort Scientific Corporation (MicroPort). The financial results of the OrthoRecon business have also been reflected within discontinued operations for all periods presented and, unless otherwise noted, the discussion below is on a continuing operations basis.

References in this section to "we," "our" and "us" refer to Wright Medical Group N.V. and its subsidiaries after the Wright/Tornier merger and Wright Medical Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries before the merger. As a result of the Wright/Tornier merger, our fiscal year runs from the first Monday after the last Sunday of December of a year and ends on the last Sunday of December of the following year. Due to this change, our third quarter of operations for 2016 and 2015 ended on September 25 and September 30, respectively.

Executive Overview

Company Description. We are a global medical device company focused on extremities and biologics products. We are committed to delivering innovative, value-added solutions improving quality of life for patients worldwide, and are a recognized leader of surgical solutions for the upper extremities (shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand), lower extremities (foot and ankle) and biologics markets, three of the fastest growing segments in orthopaedics. Our product portfolio consists of the following product categories:

• Upper extremities, which include joint implants and bone fixation devices for the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand;

• Lower extremities, which include joint implants and bone fixation devices for the foot and ankle;

• Biologics, which include products used to support treatment of damaged or diseased bone, tendons, and soft tissues or to stimulate bone growth; and

• Sports medicine and other, which include products used across several anatomic sites to mechanically repair tissue-to-tissue or tissue-to-bone injuries and other ancillary products

43

Our global corporate headquarters are located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We also have significant operations located in Memphis, Tennessee (U.S. headquarters, research and development, sales and marketing administration, and administrative activities); Bloomington, Minnesota (upper extremities sales and marketing); Arlington, Tennessee (manufacturing and warehousing operations); Grenoble, France (manufacturing and research and development); and Macroom, Ireland (manufacturing). In addition, we have local sales and distribution offices in Canada, Australia, Asia, and throughout Europe.

We promote our products in over 50 countries with principal markets in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Canada, Australia and Latin America. Our products are sold primarily through a network of employee sales representatives and independent sales representatives in the United States and by a combination of employee sales representatives, independent sales representatives and stocking distributors outside the United States.

Principal Products. We have focused our efforts into growing our position in the extremities and biologics markets. We believe a more active and aging patient population with higher expectations regarding “quality of life,” an increasing global awareness of extremities and biologics solutions, improved clinical outcomes as a result of the use of such products, technological advances resulting in specific designs for such products that simplify procedures and address unmet needs for early interventions, and the growing need for revisions and revision related solutions will drive the market for extremities and biologics products.

Our principal upper extremities products include the AEQUALIS ASCEND^® and SIMPLICITI^® total shoulder replacement systems, the AEQUALIS^® REVERSED II™ reversed shoulder system, and the AEQUALIS ASCEND^® FLEX™ convertible shoulder system. The SIMPLICITI^® is the first minimally invasive, ultra-short stem total shoulder that has been available in certain international markets for a couple of years, but was commercially launched by legacy Tornier on a limited focused basis in the United States late in the second quarter of 2015, after receipt of FDA 510(k) clearance in March 2015. Our principal lower extremities products include the INBONE^® and INFINITY^® Total Ankle Replacement Systems. We expect to commercially launch our most recent total ankle replacement product, the INVISION™ Total Ankle Revision System, in 2017. Our biologic products use both biological tissue-based and synthetic materials to allow the body to regenerate damaged or diseased bone and to repair damaged or diseased soft tissue. These products aid the body’s natural regenerative capabilities to heal itself, minimizing or delaying the need for invasive implant surgery. The newest addition to our biologics product portfolio is AUGMENT^® Bone Graft, which is based on recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF-BB), a synthetic copy of one of the body’s principal healing agents. FDA approval of AUGMENT^® Bone Graft in the United States for ankle and/or hindfoot fusion indications occurred during the third quarter of 2015. Prior to FDA approval, this product was available for sale in Canada for foot and ankle fusion indications and in Australia and New Zealand for hindfoot and ankle fusion indications.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Pro Forma Information. Due to the significance of the legacy Tornier business that is not included in our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and to supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including combined pro forma net sales. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP measures and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive or standard set of accounting rules or principles. Accordingly, the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions of other companies using the same or similar names limiting, to some extent, the usefulness of such measures for comparison purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. See tables below for a reconciliation of our non-GAAP combined pro forma net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 to our net sales for such periods as calculated in accordance with US GAAP.

Significant Quarterly Business Developments.

On October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter, dated as of July 8, 2016, we completed and closed the sale of our business operations operating under the Large Joints operating segment (the Large Joints Business) to Corin for approximately €29.7 million in cash, less approximately €10.6 million for net working capital adjustments. All historical operating results for the Large Joints Business, including costs associated with corporate employees and infrastructure transferred as a part of the sale, are reflected within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Further, all assets and associated liabilities transferred to Corin were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for all periods presented.

On November 1, 2016, WMT entered into a Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) with Court-appointed attorneys representing plaintiffs in the metal-on-metal hip replacement product liability litigation pending before the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the MDL) and the California State Judicial Counsel Coordinated Proceedings (the JCCP). Under the terms of the MSA, the parties agreed to settle 1,292 specifically identified claims associated with CONSERVE^®, DYNASTY^® and LINEAGE^® products that meet the eligibility requirements of the MSA and are either pending in the MDL or JCCP, or subject to court-approved tolling agreements in the MDL or JCCP, for a settlement amount of $240 million.  As of September 25, 2016, our accrual for metal-on-metal claims totaled $250.9 million, of which $242.7 million is included in our condensed consolidated

44

balance sheet within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and $8.2 million is included within “Other liabilities.”  See Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding the MSA and our accrual methodologies for the metal-on-metal hip replacement product liability claims.

On October 28, 2016, WMT and Wright Medical Group, Inc. (Wright Entities) entered into a Settlement Agreement, Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement and Policy Buyback Agreement (Insurance Settlement Agreement) with a subgroup of three insurance carriers, namely Columbia Casualty Company (Columbia), Travelers and AXIS Surplus Lines Insurance Company (collectively, the Three Settling Insurers), pursuant to which the Three Settling Insurers agreed to pay WMT an aggregate of $60 million (in addition to $10 million previously paid by Columbia) in a lump sum on or before the 30th business day after execution of the Insurance Settlement Agreement. This amount will be in full satisfaction of all potential liability of the Three Settling Insurers relating to metal-on-metal hip and similar metal ion release claims, including but not limited to all claims in the MDL and the JCCP, and all claims asserted by WMT against the Three Settling Insurers in the Tennessee action described in the section entitled “Legal Proceedings.”  Management has recorded an insurance receivable of $68.7 million for the probable recovery of spending in excess of our retention for a single occurrence and for the anticipated proceeds from the settlement with the Three Settling Insurers. As of September 25, 2016, we have received $11.7 million of insurance proceeds, and our insurance carriers have paid a total of $4.6 million directly to claimants in connection with various settlements, which represents amounts undisputed by the carriers.  See Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding the Insurance Settlement Agreement.

Net sales increased 96.3% totaling $157.3 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $80.1 million in the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to the impact of the Wright/Tornier merger. Net sales in the third quarter of 2016 increased 8.7% as compared to third quarter 2015 non-GAAP combined pro forma net sales (pro forma net sales), primarily driven by 11.1% growth in our U.S. businesses.

Our U.S. net sales increased $57.7 million, or 95.5%, in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to the impact of the Wright/Tornier merger. Our U.S. sales in the third quarter of 2016 increased 11.1% as compared to third quarter 2015 combined pro forma net sales, driven primarily by the continued success of our INFINITY^® total ankle replacement system, and the ongoing rollouts of the SIMPLICITI^® shoulder system, AEQUALIS ASCEND^® FLEX^TM convertible shoulder system and our AUGMENT^® Bone Graft product. 

Our international extremities and biologics net sales increased $19.5 million, or 98.9%, in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to the impact of the Wright/Tornier merger. Our international extremities and biologics net sales in the third quarter of 2016 increased 2.0% as compared to third quarter 2015 combined pro forma net sales, driven primarily by 12% combined pro forma net sales growth in Canada and 10% combined pro forma net sales growth in Australia, which was partially offset by a $0.9 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates.

In the third quarter of 2016, our net loss from continuing operations totaled $52.7 million, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $62.7 million for the third quarter of 2015. This decrease in net loss from continuing operations was primarily driven by the following:

• $11.1 million increase in profitability of our U.S. Upper Extremities segment driven almost entirely by the acquired Tornier business;

• $10.3 million increase in profitability of our U.S. Lower Extremities and Biologics segment driven by leverage on increased sales, as operating expenses grew at a lower rate than net sales;

• $10.6 million increase in other income, net, primarily driven by changes in fair value adjustments associated with derivative assets and liabilities and CVRs; and

• $13.4 million decrease in transaction and transition expenses.

The favorable changes in segment operating income were mostly offset by:

• $19.6 million of incremental Corporate expenses, primarily due to expenses from the acquired Tornier business;

• $10.3 million of amortization of the inventory step-up fair value adjustment associated with the Wright/Tornier merger; and

• $5.6 million of incremental interest expense, primarily due to cash interest and non-cash amortization of debt discount and deferred financing charges associated with the 2021 Notes that were issued in the second quarter of 2016.     

Opportunities and Challenges. With the closing of the sale of our Large Joints Business, we believe we are now well positioned and completely focused on accelerating growth in our extremities and biologics business. We intend to continue to leverage the global strengths of both our legacy Wright and legacy Tornier product brands as a pure-play extremities and biologics business. We believe our leadership is further enhanced by the FDA approval of AUGMENT^® Bone Graft, a biologic solution that adds additional depth to one of the most comprehensive extremities product portfolios in the industry, as well as provides a platform

45

technology for future new product development. We believe the highly complementary nature of legacy Wright’s and legacy Tornier’s businesses gives significant diversity and scale across a range of geographies and product categories. We believe we are differentiated in the marketplace by our strategic focus on extremities and biologics, our full portfolio of upper and lower extremities and biologics products, and our specialized and focused sales organization.

We are highly focused on ensuring that no business momentum is lost as we continue to integrate legacy Wright and legacy Tornier. Since the merger and through the end of third quarter of 2016, we have completed the integration of our global sales force, co-located and consolidated into one enterprise resource planning (ERP) system in three of our top five international markets and completed a substantial number of other integration activities, while incurring less dis-synergies than we originally anticipated. Although we recognize that we will continue to have revenue dis-synergies during the remaining integration period, we believe we have an excellent opportunity to improve efficiency and leverage fixed costs in our business going forward. We also believe we have significant opportunity at the same time to advance certain balance sheet initiatives, such as improving our inventory, instrument set utilization and days sales outstanding.

While our ultimate financial goal is to achieve sustained profitability in the short-term, we anticipate continuing operating losses until we are able to grow our sales to a sufficient level to support our cost structure, including the inherent infrastructure costs of our industry.

Significant Industry Factors. Our industry is affected by numerous competitive, regulatory, and other significant factors. The growth of our business relies on our ability to continue to develop new products and innovative technologies, obtain regulatory clearance and maintain compliance for our products, protect the proprietary technology of our products and our manufacturing processes, manufacture our products cost-effectively, respond to competitive pressures specific to each of our geographic markets, including our ability to enforce non-compete agreements, and successfully market and distribute our products in a profitable manner. We, and the entire industry, are subject to extensive governmental regulation, primarily by the FDA. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. We, as well as other participants in our industry, are subject to product liability claims, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Results of Operations

On October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter dated as of July 8, 2016, we closed the sale of our Large Joints Business to Corin. We determined that the Large Joints Business meets the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. As such, the financial results of our Large Joints business have been reflected within discontinued operations for all periods presented and the discussion below is on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted.

The results of operations discussion that appears below has been presented utilizing a combination of historical unaudited and, where relevant, non-GAAP combined pro forma unaudited information to include the effects on our consolidated financial statements of our acquisition of Tornier, as if we had acquired Tornier as of January 1, 2015. The combined pro forma net sales have been adjusted to reflect a combination of the historical results of operations of Tornier, as adjusted to reflect the effect on our combined net sales of incremental revenues that would have been recognized had Tornier been acquired on January 1, 2015. The combined pro forma net sales have been developed based on available information and upon assumptions that our management believes are reasonable in order to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the impact of the Wright/Tornier merger.

The pro forma financial data is not necessarily indicative of results of operations that would have occurred had the Wright/Tornier merger been consummated at the beginning of the period presented or which might be attained in the future.

Net sales

U.S. Sales. U.S. net sales totaled $118.1 million in the third quarter of 2016, a 95.5% increase from $60.4 million in the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to the impact of the Wright/Tornier merger. U.S. net sales in the third quarter of 2016 increased 11.1% as compared to third quarter 2015 pro forma net sales. U.S. sales represented approximately 75.0% of total net sales in the third quarter of 2016, compared to 75.4% of total net sales in the third quarter of 2015.

Our U.S. lower extremities net sales increased to $51.6 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $43.9 million in the third quarter of 2015, representing growth of 17.4%, driven by continued growth in legacy Wright's lower extremities business, as well as the impact of the Wright/Tornier merger. Our U.S. lower extremities net sales grew 3.8% in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to third quarter 2015 pro forma net sales. This pro forma net sales growth was driven by 19% net sales growth in our total ankle replacement products, as well as sales from the recent launch of our SALVATION^® limb salvage system for treating Charcot foot and limb salvage cases, partially offset by anticipated continued declines in sales of legacy Tornier foot and ankle systems due to merger-related sales dis-synergies, which are anticipated to continue.

Our U.S. upper extremities net sales increased to $46.2 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2015, representing growth of 1,164.6%. This growth was driven almost entirely by the impact of the Wright/Tornier merger. Our U.S. upper extremities net sales grew 11.2% in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to third quarter 2015 pro forma net sales. This pro forma growth was driven by continued success of our AEQUALIS ASCEND^® shoulder products, including the AEQUALIS ASCEND^® FLEX^TM convertible shoulder system, as well as sales from our SIMPLICITI^® shoulder system that was launched late in the third quarter of 2015.

Our U.S. biologics net sales totaled $18.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, representing a 49.6% increase over the third quarter of 2015, driven primarily by sales of AUGMENT^® Bone Graft, which was commercially launched in the fourth quarter 2015. Our U.S. biologics net sales grew 44.7% in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to third quarter 2015 pro forma net sales, primarily driven by sales of AUGMENT^® Bone Graft.

International Sales. Net sales of our extremities and biologics products in our international regions totaled $39.3 million in the third quarter of 2016, a 98.9% increase from $19.7 million in the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to the impact of the Wright/

50

Tornier merger. Our international extremities and biologics net sales in the third quarter of 2016 increased 2.0% as compared to third quarter 2015 pro forma international extremities and biologics net sales, and included a $0.9 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates (a 2 percentage point unfavorable impact to pro forma international extremities and biologics sales growth rate).

Our international lower extremities net sales increased 30.1% to $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2015. Our international lower extremities sales grew 7.6% in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to third quarter 2015 pro forma international lower extremities net sales, primarily driven by a 57.6% increase in sales to stocking distributors and lower than normal sales in Latin America in the prior year period. This increase was partially offset by merger-related sales dis-synergies, which are anticipated to continue, and a $0.5 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates (a 4 percentage point unfavorable impact to pro forma international lower extremities sales growth rate).

Our international upper extremities net sales increased 882% to $17.3 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, driven entirely by the impact of the Wright/Tornier merger. Our international upper extremities net sales grew 4.2% in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to third quarter 2015 pro forma international upper extremities net sales, driven primarily by a 6% increase in sales in our direct markets in Europe and a 35% increase in sales in Australia due to increased demand, partially offset by a $0.1 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates (a 1 percentage point unfavorable impact to pro forma international upper extremities sales growth rate).

Our international biologics net sales decreased 9.9% to $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2015. On a pro forma basis, our international biologics net sales decreased 11.8% in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to third quarter 2015 pro forma international biologics net sales. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower levels of sales to stocking distributors, as well as a $0.1 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates (a 2 percentage point unfavorable impact to pro forma international biologics sales growth rate).

Cost of sales

Our cost of sales totaled $46.1 million, or 29.3% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $23.1 million, or 28.8% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2015, representing an increase of 0.5 percentage points as a percentage of net sales. This increase was primarily driven by $10.3 million (6.5% of net sales) of inventory step-up amortization in the third quarter of 2016 associated with inventory acquired from the Wright/Tornier merger, as well as a $1.6 million (1.0% of net sales) provision for excess and obsolete inventory associated with product rationalization initiatives, which were mostly offset by provisions for inventory losses in the prior year, favorable absorption of fixed manufacturing expenses, and favorable geographic mix.

We anticipate we will continue to record inventory step-up amortization through the end of 2016.

Selling, general and administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $129.8 million, or 82.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $86.0 million, or 107.3% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2015. Selling, general and administrative expense for the third quarters of 2016 and 2015 included $6.4 million (4.1% of net sales) and $17.5 million (21.8% of net sales), respectively, of transition and transaction costs primarily associated with the Wright/Tornier merger. The remaining decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was driven primarily by leveraged spending in our U.S. lower extremities and biologics segment as expense grew at a significantly lower rate than net sales, the addition of the legacy Tornier U.S. upper extremities business with a lower percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales than legacy Wright, and lower levels of corporate spending as a percentage of net sales following the Wright/Tornier merger.

Research and development

Our research and development expense totaled $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $9.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. This increase was almost entirely due to $3.2 million of additional research and development expenses associated with the acquired Tornier business in the third quarter of 2016.

Amortization of intangible assets

Charges associated with amortization of intangible assets totaled $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. This increase was driven by amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of the Wright/Tornier merger. Based on intangible assets held at September 25, 2016, we expect amortization expense to be approximately $28.9 million for the full year of 2016, $26.7 million in 2017, $21.7 million in 2018, $19.9 million in 2019, and $19.3 million in 2020.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net, totaled $16.8 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2015. Increased interest expense was driven by the increase in debt outstanding following the issuance of the 2021 Notes in the second quarter of 2016. Our interest expense in the third quarter of 2016 related primarily to non-cash interest expense associated with the amortization of the discount on the 2021 Notes and 2020 Notes of $4.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively; amortization of deferred financing

51

charges on the 2021 Notes, 2020 Notes, and 2017 Notes totaling $0.9 million; and cash interest expense primarily associated with the coupon on the 2021 Notes, 2020 Notes, and 2017 Notes totaling $5.1 million. Our interest expense in the third quarter of 2015 related primarily to non-cash interest expense associated with the amortization of the discount on the 2020 Notes and 2017 Notes of $6.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, non-cash interest expense associated with the amortization of deferred financing charges on the 2020 Notes and 2017 Notes totaling $0.9 million, and cash interest expense primarily associated with the coupon on the 2020 Notes and 2017 Notes totaling $3.5 million.

Other income, net

Other income, net totaled $0.4 million of income in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $10.2 million of expense in the same period of 2015. In the third quarter of 2016, other income, net included a gain of $3.2 million for the net mark-to-market adjustments on our derivative assets and liabilities. This gain was partially offset by an unrealized loss of $2.2 million for the mark-to-market adjustment on CVRs issued in connection with the BioMimetic acquisition. In the third quarter of 2015,  other income, net primarily consisted of an unrealized loss of $14.6 million for the mark-to-market adjustment on CVRs issued in connection with the BioMimetic acquisition, which was partially offset by a gain of $4.7 million for the net mark-to-market adjustments on our derivative assets and liabilities.

(Benefit)/provision for income taxes

We recorded a tax benefit of $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to a tax provision of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2015. For the third quarter of 2016, the tax benefits primarily related to losses, including amortization of inventory fair value step-up and intangible assets, in jurisdictions where we do not have a valuation allowance.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, consists of the operating results for the Large Joints Business that was sold to Corin, as well as the costs associated with legal defense, income/loss associated with product liability insurance recoveries/denials, and changes to any contingent liabilities associated with the OrthoRecon business that was sold to MicroPort. During the third quarter of 2016, we recognized a $38.7 million charge for certain retained metal-on-metal product liability claims associated with the OrthoRecon business (see Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion). See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our discontinued operations.

U.S. net sales in the first nine months of 2016 increased 14.5% as compared to the first nine months of 2015 pro forma net sales. U.S. sales represented approximately 73.3% of total net sales in the first nine months of 2016, compared to 73.9% of total net sales in the first nine months of 2015.

International Sales. International net sales totaled $132.9 million in the first nine months of 2016, a 113.1% increase from $62.3 million in the first nine months of 2015, primarily due to the impact of the Wright/Tornier merger. Our international net sales in the first nine months of 2016 increased 4.8% as compared to the first nine months of 2015 pro forma international net sales, and included a $3.0 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates (a 2 percentage point unfavorable impact to pro forma international sales growth rate).

Cost of sales

Our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 28.5% in the first nine months of 2016, compared to 26.8% in the first nine months of 2015. This increase was primarily driven by $30.9 million (6.2% of net sales) of inventory step-up amortization in the first nine months of 2016, which was associated with inventory acquired from the Wright/Tornier merger, as well as increased provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, which were more than offset by favorable absorption of fixed manufacturing expenses and lower levels of provisions for inventory losses.

Operating expenses

As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 92.3% in the first nine months of 2016, compared to 118.7% in the first nine months of 2015. This decrease was driven primarily by the decrease in spending on due diligence, transition and transaction costs, which were higher in the first nine months of 2015 due to the then pending Wright/Tornier merger, as well as leveraging of corporate expenses following the merger.

56

(Benefit)/provision for income taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit of $6.9 million in the first nine months of 2016, compared to a tax provision of $0.5 million in the first nine months of 2015. Our 2016 tax benefit includes a $2.3 million tax benefit related to the resolution of an IRS tax audit, as well as benefits primarily related to losses, including amortization of inventory fair value step-up and intangible assets, in jurisdictions where we do not have a valuation allowance.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, consists of the operating results for the Large Joints Business that was sold to Corin as well as the costs associated with legal defense, income/loss associated with product liability insurance recoveries/denials, and changes to any contingent liabilities associated with the OrthoRecon business that was sold to MicroPort. During the first nine months of 2016, we recognized a $188.7 million charge for certain retained metal-on-metal product liability claims associated with the OrthoRecon business (see Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion). See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our discontinued operations.

Reportable Segments

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, net sales and operating income (loss) of our reportable segments expressed as dollar amounts (in thousands) and as a percentage of net sales:

	Three months ended September 25, 2016

57

Operating income of our U.S. lower extremities and biologics segment increased $10.3 million and $38.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. These increases were driven by leveraging expenses, as net sales increased at a higher rate than operating expenses.

Operating income of our U.S. upper extremities segment increased $11.1 million and $41.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. These increases were driven almost entirely by the acquired Tornier business.

Operating income of our International extremities and biologics segment increased $0.8 million and $8.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. These increases were primarily driven by the acquired Tornier business.

See “Results of Operations-Comparison of the three months ended September 25, 2016 to the three months ended September 30, 2015-Net sales”  and "Results of Operations-Comparison of the nine months ended September 25, 2016 to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 -Net sales" for a discussion of the various factors impacting the net sales of our reporting segments for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain liquidity measures (in thousands):

	September 25, 2016		December 27, 2015
Cash and cash equivalents	$	314,314	$	139,804
Working capital	308,102		352,946

Cash and cash equivalents increased due to the convertible debt activities in the second quarter of 2016. See Note 9 for additional discussion of these activities. Working capital decreased as working capital reductions due to the $188.7 million charge within discontinued operations related to the retained metal-on-metal product liability claims associated with the OrthoRecon business (see Note 13 for additional discussion) and the $34.3 million amortization of inventory fair-value step up adjustment associated with the acquired Tornier inventory offset the increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Operating Activities. Cash used in operating activities totaled $25.4 million and $141.8 million in the first nine months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the first nine months of 2015 was due to improved cash profitability and improved changes in working capital, as well the 2015 milestone payment of $28 million associated with the BioMimetic acquisition upon the FDA approval of AUGMENT^® Bone Graft. This portion of the payment represented the excess over the value originally assigned as part of the purchase price allocation.

Investing Activities. Our capital expenditures totaled $37.8 million and $34.0 million in the first nine months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Historically, our capital expenditures have consisted principally of surgical instrumentation, purchased manufacturing equipment, research and testing equipment, and computer systems. We expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately $43 million in 2016.

Financing Activities. During the first nine months of 2016, cash provided by financing activities totaled $241.5 million, compared to $277.3 million in the first nine months of 2015. The cash provided by financing activities in both periods was primarily attributable to the net proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes, partially offset by the partial settlement of previously outstanding convertible notes (see Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion). Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we paid a $70 million milestone payment associated with the BioMimetic acquisition upon the FDA approval of AUGMENT^® Bone Graft.

We provide for tax liabilities in our financial statements with respect to amounts that we expect to repatriate from subsidiaries (to the extent the repatriation would be subject to tax); however, no tax liabilities are recorded for amounts that we consider to be permanently reinvested. Our current plans do not foresee a need to repatriate funds that are designated as permanently reinvested in order to fund our operations or meet currently anticipated liquidity and capital investment needs.

Discontinued Operations. Cash flows from discontinued operations are combined with cash flows from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of cash flows. During the first nine months of 2016 and 2015, cash used in discontinued operations was approximately $29.7 million and $20.0 million, respectively, for legal defense costs and settlement of product liabilities associated with our former OrthoRecon operations, partially offset in 2016 by $3.0 million of cash provided by operations of the Large Joints Business. We do not expect that the future cash outflows from discontinued operations, including the payment of retained liabilities of the OrthoRecon business, will have an impact on our ability to meet contractual cash obligations and fund our working capital requirements, operations, and anticipated capital expenditures.

58

In-Process Research and Development. In connection with the BioMimetic acquisition, we acquired in-process research and development (IPRD) technology related to projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility as of the acquisition date, which included AUGMENT^® Bone Graft, which was undergoing the FDA approval process, and AUGMENT^® Injectable Bone Graft. FDA approval of AUGMENT^® Bone Graft in the United States for ankle and/or hindfoot fusion indications was obtained during the third quarter of 2015. The acquisition date fair value of the IPRD technology was $27.1 million for AUGMENT^® Injectable Bone Graft. The fair value of the IPRD technology was reduced to $0 as of December 31, 2014, which reflected the impairment charges recognized in 2013 after receipt of the not approvable letter from the FDA in response to a pre-market approval (PMA) application for AUGMENT^® Bone Graft for use as an alternative to autograft in hindfoot and ankle fusion procedures.

In connection with the Wright/Tornier merger, we acquired IPRD technology related to three projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility as of the merger date. These projects included PerFORM Rev/Rev+, AEQUALIS^® Adjustable Reversed Ext (AARE) (re-branded in 2016 to AEQUALIS^® Flex Revive), and PerFORM+ that were assigned fair values of $14.5 million, $2.1 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, on the acquisition date.

The current IPRD projects we acquired in our BioMimetic acquisition and the Wright/Tornier merger are as follows:

• AUGMENT^® Injectable Bone Graft (Augment Injectable) combines rhPDGF-BB with an injectable bone matrix, and is targeted to be used in either open (surgical) treatment of fusions and fractures or closed (non-surgical) or minimally invasive treatment of fractures. AUGMENT^® Injectable can be injected into a fusion or fracture site during an open surgical procedure, or it can be injected through the skin into a fracture site, in either case locally delivering rhPDGF-BB to promote fusion or fracture repair. Our initial clinical development program for AUGMENT^® Injectable has focused on securing regulatory approval for open indications in the United States and in several markets outside the United States. We currently estimate it could take one to three years to complete this project. We have incurred expenses of approximately $4.6 million for AUGMENT^® Injectable since the date of acquisition and $0.3 million in the quarter ended September 25, 2016. We are currently evaluating future costs related to AUGMENT^® Injectable following the recent FDA approval of AUGMENT^®.

• PerFORM Rev/Rev+ is a next-generation reverse construct which replaces the existing Reverse II Glenoid Product. PerFORM Reverse consists of new baseplate options, with various backside angles and thicknesses to address additional glenoid deformities, and also includes a new central fixation technology that is different than any other system in the market. Development of this product is in manufacturing validation stage. Pre-market release trials began in the first quarter of 2016. We achieved CE marking for PerFORM Reverse in the first quarter of 2016, and 510(k) clearance is anticipated to occur later in 2016. We have an anticipated completion date in 2017 and the cost to complete the project is estimated to be less than $1 million. However, the risks and uncertainties associated with completion are dependent upon FDA clearance.

• AEQUALIS^® Flex Revive (previously AEQUALIS^® Adjustable Reversed Ext (AARE)) will ultimately be our second-generation revision product, with an improved implant that is convertible and addresses more indications, and a revamped instrument set that includes universal extraction instrumentation. The implants in this system are complete from a design standpoint, have regulatory approval, and are being sold using a previous generation of instrumentation in a limited capacity. The instruments for the new revision system are currently in design phase. We have an anticipated completion date in 2017 and project cost to complete is estimated to be less than $1 million. However, the risks and uncertainties associated with completion are dependent upon testing validations and FDA clearance.

Other Liquidity Information. We have historically funded our cash needs through various equity and debt issuances and through cash flow from operations.

In May 2016, we issued $395 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, which, after consideration of the exchange of approximately $54 million principal amount of the 2017 Notes and $45 million principal amount of the 2020 Notes, generated net proceeds of approximately $237.5 million. In connection with the offering of the 2021 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedging transactions with two counterparties. We also entered into warrant transactions in which we sold stock warrants for an aggregate of 18.5 million ordinary shares to these two counterparties. We used approximately $45 million of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the convertible note hedging transactions (after such cost was partially offset by the proceeds we received from the sale of the warrants).

In February 2015, WMG issued $632.5 million of the 2020 Notes, which generated net proceeds of approximately $613 million. In connection with the offering of the 2020 Notes, WMG entered into convertible note hedging transactions with three counterparties. WMG also entered into warrant transactions in which WMG sold stock warrants for an aggregate of 20,489,142 shares of WMG common stock to these three counterparties. WMG used approximately $58 million of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the convertible note hedging transactions (after such cost was partially offset by the proceeds we received from the sale of the warrants). WMG also used approximately $292 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase

59

approximately $240 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2017 Notes in privately negotiated transactions.  On November 24, 2015, we entered into a supplemental indenture to the indenture governing the 2020 Notes which provided for, among other things, our full and unconditional guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, of all of WMG's obligations relating to the 2020 Notes and to make certain other adjustments to the terms of the indenture to give effect to the Wright/Tornier merger. Also on November 24, 2015, we assumed the stock warrants initially issued by WMG in connection with the 2020 Note offering.

Although it is difficult for us to predict our future liquidity requirements, we believe that our cash balance of approximately $314.3 million as of September 25, 2016 will be sufficient for the next 12 months to fund our working capital requirements and operations, permit anticipated capital expenditures in 2016 of approximately $43 million, pay retained liabilities of the OrthoRecon business, including without limitation amounts under the Master Settlement Agreement, and meet our anticipated contractual cash obligations in 2016. However, our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including our future net sales and expenses.

In the event that we would require additional working capital to fund future operations, we could seek to acquire that through additional equity or debt financing arrangements which may or may not be available on favorable terms at such time. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt, in addition to those under our existing indentures. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our shareholders. If we do not have, or are not able to obtain, sufficient funds, we may have to delay development or commercialization of our products or scale back our operations.

We intend to use our cash balance and any additional financing to fund integration costs associated with the Wright/Tornier merger, to fund growth opportunities for our extremities and biologics business, and to pay retained liabilities of the OrthoRecon business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Information on judgments related to our most critical accounting policies and estimates is discussed in "Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Estimates" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2015 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2016. Certain of our more critical accounting estimates require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions in determining the estimate. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We develop these judgments based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers, and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results may differ from these judgments under different assumptions or conditions. Different, reasonable estimates could have been used for the current period. Additionally, changes in accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Both of these factors could have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in "Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Estimates" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2015, except for the following additional disclosure under our "Discontinued operations" policy.

Discontinued operations. On October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter dated as of July 8, 2016, we, Corin, and certain other entities related to us and Corin entered into a Sale Agreement and simultaneously completed and closed the sale of our business operations formerly operating under the Large Joints segment. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, we sold substantially all of our assets related to our hip and knee, or large joints, business to Corin for approximately €29.7 million in cash, less approximately €10.6 million for net working capital adjustments.

We determined that the Large Joints Business meets the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. All historical operating results for the Large Joints Business, including costs associated with corporate employees and infrastructure to be transferred as a part of the sale, are reflected within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Further, all assets and associated liabilities transferred to Corin were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. We recognized an impairment loss on held for sale classification of $21.9 million, before the effect of income taxes, in the second quarter of 2016, based on the difference between the net carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale and the purchase price, less estimated adjustments and costs to sell. This loss was recorded within Net loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

All current operating results for the Large Joints Business are reflected within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk arises principally from the interest rates associated with our invested cash balances. On September 25, 2016, we had invested short-term cash and cash equivalents of approximately $314.3 million. We believe that a 10 basis point change in interest rates is reasonably possible in the near term. Based on our current level of investment, an increase or decrease of 10 basis points in interest rates would have an annual impact of approximately $0.3 million to our interest income.

Equity Price Risk

The 2017 Notes include conversion and settlement provisions that are based on the price of our ordinary shares and prior to the Wright/Tornier merger, WMG common stock, at conversion or at maturity of the notes. On February 13, 2015, WMG issued $632.5 million of the 2020 Notes, which generated net proceeds of approximately $613 million. Approximately $292 million of the net proceeds from the 2020 Notes offering were used to repurchase approximately $240 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, all of the 2017 Notes Hedges were settled and all of the warrants associated with the 2017 Notes were repurchased, generating net proceeds of approximately $10 million. On May 20, 2016, we issued $395 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes. Concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of $54.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes exchanged their 2017 Notes for the 2021 Notes. Approximately $3.7 million of the net proceeds from the 2021 Notes offering were subsequently used to repurchase approximately $3.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes in privately negotiated transactions. As of September 25, 2016, we had approximately $2 million in outstanding debt under the 2017 Notes. The following table shows the amount of cash that we would be required to provide holders of the 2017 Notes upon maturity assuming various closing prices of our ordinary shares at the date of maturity:

Share price		Cash payment in excess of principal (in thousands)
$27.98	(10% greater than conversion price)	$	203
$30.53	(20% greater than conversion price)	$	405
$33.07	(30% greater than conversion price)	$	608
$35.62	(40% greater than conversion price)	$	811
$38.16	(50% greater than conversion price)	$	1,013

The fair value of our 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative is directly impacted by the price of our ordinary shares. The following table presents the fair values of our 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative as a result of a hypothetical 10% increase and decrease in the price of our ordinary shares. We believe that a 10% change in our share price is reasonably possible in the near term:

(in thousands)
	Fair value of security given a 10% decrease in share price	Fair value of security as of September 25, 2016	Fair value of security given a 10% increase in share price
2017 Notes Conversion Derivative (Liability)	129	247	398

The 2020 Notes include conversion and settlement provisions that are based on the price of our ordinary shares at conversion or at maturity of the notes. In addition, the hedges and warrants associated with these convertible notes also include settlement provisions that are based on the price of our ordinary shares. The amount of cash we may be required to pay, or the number of shares we may be required to provide to note holders at conversion or maturity of these notes, is determined by the price of our ordinary shares. The amount of cash that we may receive from hedge counterparties in connection with the related hedges and the number of shares that we may be required to provide warrant counterparties in connection with the related warrants are also determined by the price of our ordinary shares.

Upon the expiration of our warrants issued in connection with the 2020 Notes, we will issue ordinary shares to the purchasers of the warrants to the extent the price of our ordinary shares exceeds the warrant strike price of $40.00 at that time. On November 24, 2015, Wright Medical Group N.V. assumed WMG's obligations pursuant to the warrants, and the strike price of the warrants was adjusted to $38.8010 per ordinary share. The following table shows the number of shares that we would issue to warrant counterparties at expiration of the warrants assuming various closing prices of our ordinary shares on the date of warrant expiration:

61

Share price		Shares (in thousands)
$42.68	(10% greater than strike price)	1,784
$46.56	(20% greater than strike price)	3,270
$50.44	(30% greater than strike price)	4,528
$54.32	(40% greater than strike price)	5,606
$58.20	(50% greater than strike price)	6,540

The fair value of the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative and the 2020 Notes Hedge is directly impacted by the price of our ordinary shares. We entered into the 2020 Notes Hedges in connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes with the option counterparties. The 2020 Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are intended to reduce our exposure to potential cash payments that we are required to make upon conversion of the 2020 Notes in excess of the principal amount of converted notes if our ordinary share price exceeds the conversion price. The following table presents the fair values of the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative and 2020 Notes Hedge as a result of a hypothetical 10% increase and decrease in the price of our ordinary shares. We believe that a 10% change in our share price is reasonably possible in the near term:

(in thousands)
	Fair value of security given a 10% decrease in share price	Fair value of security as of September 25, 2016	Fair value of security given a 10% increase in share price
2020 Notes Hedges (Asset)	$61,246	$83,308	$108,355
2020 Notes Conversion Derivative (Liability)	$62,288	$84,856	$110,504

The 2021 Notes include conversion and settlement provisions that are based on the price of our ordinary shares at conversion or at maturity of the notes. In addition, the hedges and warrants associated with these convertible notes also include settlement provisions that are based on the price of our ordinary shares. The amount of cash we may be required to pay, or the number of shares we may be required to provide to note holders at conversion or maturity of these notes, is determined by the price of our ordinary shares. The amount of cash that we may receive from hedge counterparties in connection with the related hedges and the number of shares that we may be required to provide warrant counterparties in connection with the related warrants are also determined by the price of our ordinary shares.

Upon the expiration of our warrants issued in connection with the 2021 Notes, we will issue ordinary shares to the purchasers of the warrants to the extent the price of our ordinary shares exceeds the warrant strike price of $30.00 at that time. The following table shows the number of shares that we would issue to warrant counterparties at expiration of the warrants assuming various closing prices of our ordinary shares on the date of warrant expiration:

Share price		Shares (in thousands)
$33.00	(10% greater than strike price)	1,681
$36.00	(20% greater than strike price)	3,082
$39.00	(30% greater than strike price)	4,268
$42.00	(40% greater than strike price)	5,284
$45.00	(50% greater than strike price)	6,164

The fair value of the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative and the 2021 Notes Hedge is directly impacted by the price of our ordinary shares. We entered into the 2021 Notes Hedges in connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes with the option counterparties. The 2021 Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are intended to reduce our exposure to potential cash payments that we are required to make upon conversion of the 2021 Notes in excess of the principal amount of converted notes if our ordinary share price exceeds the conversion price. The following table presents the fair values of the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative and 2021 Notes Hedge as a result of a hypothetical 10% increase and decrease in the price of our ordinary shares. We believe that a 10% change in our share price is reasonably possible in the near term:

(in thousands)
	Fair value of security given a 10% decrease in share price	Fair value of security as of September 26, 2016	Fair value of security given a 10% increase in share price
2021 Notes Hedges (Asset)	$138,094	$169,488	$202,579
2021 Notes Conversion Derivative (Liability)	$135,894	$172,702	$211,553

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies could adversely affect our financial results. Approximately 25% of our net sales were from international sales for the three months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015. Approximately 27% and 26% of our net sales were from international sales for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively. We expect that foreign sales will continue to represent a similarly significant percentage of our net sales in the future. Cost of sales related to these sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars; however, operating costs related to these sales are largely denominated in the same respective currencies, thereby partially limiting our transaction risk exposure. For sales not denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase in the rate at which a foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. dollars will require more of the foreign currency to equal a specified amount of U.S. dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases, if we price our products in the foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. dollars than we did before the rate increase went into effect. If we price our products in U.S. dollars and our competitors price their products in local currency, an increase in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar could result in our prices not being competitive in a market where business is transacted in the local currency.

As discussed in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we enter into certain short-term derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward contracts. These forward contracts are designed to mitigate our exposure to currency fluctuations in our intercompany balances denominated currently in Euros, British pounds, and Canadian dollars. Any change in the fair value of these forward contracts as a result of a fluctuation in a currency exchange rate is expected to be offset by a change in the value of the intercompany balance.

Other

As of September 25, 2016, we had outstanding $2.0 million, $587.5 million, and $395 million principal amount of our 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes, respectively. We carry these instruments at face value less unamortized discount on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Since these instruments bear interest at a fixed rate, we have no financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. However, the fair value of these instruments fluctuates when interest rates change, and when the market price of our ordinary shares fluctuates. We do not carry the 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes at fair value, but present the fair value of the principal amount of our 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes for disclosure purposes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within our organization. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 25, 2016 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 25, 2016.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended September 25, 2016, our Australian operations were migrated to our global Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which resulted in the modification of certain controls, procedures and processes. In addition, we continued to incorporate the internal control over financial reporting of legacy Tornier with and into our internal control over financial reporting. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 25, 2016, that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we or our subsidiaries are subject to various pending or threatened legal actions and proceedings, including those that arise in the ordinary course of our business and some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount. These actions and proceedings may relate to, among other things, product liability, intellectual property, distributor, commercial, and other matters. These actions and proceedings could result in losses, including damages, fines, or penalties, any of which could be substantial, as well as criminal charges. Although such matters are inherently unpredictable, and negative outcomes or verdicts can occur, we believe we have significant defenses in all of them, are vigorously defending all of them, and do not believe any of them will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, we could incur judgments, pay settlements, or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of any matter. Such developments, if any, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which applicable amounts are accrued, or on our cash flows in the period in which amounts are paid.

The actions and proceedings described in this section relate primarily to Wright Medical Technology, Inc. (WMT), an indirect subsidiary of Wright Medical Group N.V., and are not necessarily applicable to Wright Medical Group N.V. or other affiliated entities. Maintaining separate legal entities within our corporate structure is intended to ring-fence liabilities.  We believe our ring-fenced structure should preclude corporate veil-piercing efforts against entities whose assets are not associated with particular claims.

Governmental Inquiries

On August 3, 2012, we received a subpoena from the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Tennessee requesting records and documentation relating to our PROFEMUR^® series of hip replacement devices. The subpoena covers the period from January 1, 2000 to August 2, 2012. We continue to cooperate with the investigation.

Patent Litigation

On November 4, 2011, Howmedica Osteonics Corp. and Stryker Ireland, Ltd. (collectively, Stryker), each a subsidiary of Stryker Corporation, filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that we infringed Stryker's U.S. Patent No. 6,475,243 related to our LINEAGE^® Acetabular Cup System and DYNASTY^® Acetabular Cup System. The lawsuit seeks an order of infringement, injunctive relief, unspecified damages, and various other costs and relief. On July 9, 2013, the Court issued a claim construction ruling. On November 25, 2014, the Court entered judgment of non-infringement in our favor. On January 7, 2015, Stryker filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Court of Appeals heard oral argument on December 10, 2015 and, on May 12, 2016, upheld the lower court’s decision. Stryker subsequently filed a combined petition for rehearing with the Court of Appeals, which was denied on July 15, 2016. The deadline for filing a petition for a hearing with the United States Supreme Court expired on October 13, 2016; therefore, all appellate avenues are now exhausted.

On June 11, 2013, Anglefix, LLC filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, alleging that our ORTHOLOC^® products infringe Anglefix’s asserted patent. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages, costs and attorneys' fees. On April 14, 2014, we filed a request for Inter Partes Review (IPR) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In October 2014, the Court stayed the case pending outcome of the IPR. On June 30, 2015, the Patent Office Board entered judgment in our favor as to all patent claims at issue in the IPR. Following the conclusion of the IPR, the District Court lifted the stay, and we have been continuing with our defense as to remaining patent claims asserted by Anglefix. On June 27, 2016, the Court granted in part our motion for summary judgment on Anglefix’s lack of standing and gave Anglefix 30 days to join the University of North Carolina (UNC) as a co-plaintiff in the lawsuit. On July 25, 2016, Anglefix filed a motion asking the Court to accept a waiver of claims by UNC as a substitute for joining UNC as a co-plaintiff in the lawsuit. The Court denied Anglefix’s motion, but granted leave for additional time to properly join UNC as co-plaintiff. Anglefix moved to add UNC as co-plaintiff on September 15, 2016. We have opposed that motion and oral argument is set for November 3, 2016.

On September 23, 2014, Spineology filed a patent infringement lawsuit, Case No. 0:14-cv-03767, in the United States District Court in Minnesota, alleging that our X-REAM^® bone reamer infringes U.S. Patent No. RE42,757 entitled “EXPANDABLE REAMER.”  The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief, monetary damages, costs and attorneys' fees. In January 2015, on the deadline for service of its complaint, Spineology dismissed its complaint without prejudice and filed a new, identical complaint. We filed an answer to the new complaint with the Court on April 27, 2015 and discovery is underway. The Court conducted a Markman hearing on March 23, 2016. Mediation was held on August 11, 2016, but no agreement could be reached. The Court issued a Markman decision on August 30, 2016, in which it found all asserted product claims invalid as indefinite under applicable patent laws and construed several additional claim terms. The case is currently in expert discovery with respect to the remaining asserted method claims.

On September 13, 2016, we filed a civil action, Case No. 2:16-cv-02737-JPM, against Spineology in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee alleging breach of contract, breach of implied warranty against infringement, and seeking a judicial declaration of indemnification from Spineology for patent infringement claims brought against us stemming from our sale and/or use of certain expandable reamers purchased from Spineology. Spineology filed a motion to dismiss on October 17, 2016. A telephonic scheduling conference has been set for November 17, 2016.

On March 1, 2016, Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF) filed suit against Solana and WMT in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that the TenFUSE PIP product infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,432,436 entitled “Partially Demineralized Cortical Bone Constructs.” The lawsuit seeks monetary damages, costs and attorneys' fees. On May 25, 2016, we agreed to waive service of MTF’s complaint. We continue to investigate MTF’s allegations and our answer to MTF’s complaint is due on November 7, 2016.

Subject to the provisions of the asset purchase agreement with MicroPort for the sale of the OrthoRecon business, we, as between us and MicroPort, will continue to be responsible for defense of pre-existing patent infringement cases relating to the OrthoRecon business, and for resulting liabilities, if any.

Product Liability

We have been named as a defendant, in some cases with multiple other defendants, in lawsuits in which it is alleged that as yet unspecified defects in the design, manufacture, or labeling of certain metal-on-metal hip replacement products rendered the products defective. The lawsuits generally employ similar allegations that use of the products resulted in excessive metal ions and particulate in the patients into whom the devices were implanted, in most cases resulting in revision surgery (collectively, the CONSERVE^® Claims) and generally seek monetary damages. We anticipate that additional lawsuits relating to metal-on-metal hip replacement products may be brought.

Because of the similar nature of the allegations made by several plaintiffs whose cases were pending in federal courts, upon motion of one plaintiff, Danny L. James, Sr., the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation on February 8, 2012 transferred certain actions pending in the federal court system related to metal-on-metal hip replacement products to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, for consolidated pre-trial management of the cases before a single United States District

65

Court Judge (the MDL). The consolidated matter is known as In re: Wright Medical Technology, Inc. Conserve Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation.

Certain plaintiffs have elected to file their lawsuits in state courts in California. In doing so, most of those plaintiffs have named a surgeon involved in the design of the allegedly defective products as a defendant in the actions, along with his personal corporation. Pursuant to contractual obligations, we have agreed to indemnify and defend the surgeon in those actions. Similar to the MDL proceeding in federal court, because the lawsuits generally employ similar allegations, certain of those pending lawsuits in California were consolidated for pre-trial handling on May 14, 2012 pursuant to procedures of California State Judicial Counsel Coordinated Proceedings (the JCCP). The consolidated matter is known as In re: Wright Hip Systems Cases, Judicial Counsel Coordination Proceeding No. 4710.

Every metal-on-metal hip case involves fundamental issues of law, science and medicine that often are uncertain, that continue to evolve, and which present contested facts and issues that can differ significantly from case to case. Such contested facts and issues include medical causation, individual patient characteristics, surgery specific factors, statutes of limitation, and the existence of actual, provable injury.

The first bellwether trial in the MDL commenced on November 9, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia. On November 24, 2015, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the plaintiff $1 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages. We believe there were significant trial irregularities and vigorously contested the trial result. On December 28, 2015, we filed a post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law or, in the alternative, for a new trial or a reduction of damages awarded. On April 5, 2016, the trial judge issued an order reducing the punitive damage award from $10 million to $1.1 million, but otherwise denied our motion. On May 4, 2016, we filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Our appeal is pending.

The first bellwether trial in the JCCP, which was scheduled to commence on October 31, 2016, has been rescheduled to January 9, 2017. The parties are currently in an expert discovery and pre-trial procedure phase.

The first state court metal-on-metal hip trial not part of the MDL or JCCP, Donald Deline v. Wright Medical Technology, Inc., et al, commenced on October 24, 2016 in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri. As of November 3, 2016 that trial is in process and is being vigorously defended by WMT.

As of September 25, 2016, there were approximately 1,200 lawsuits pending in the MDL and JCCP, and an additional 30 cases pending in various state courts. As of that date, we have also entered into approximately 950 so called "tolling agreements" with potential claimants who have not yet filed suit. Based on presently available information, we believe at least 350 of these lawsuits allege claims involving bilateral implants. As of September 25, 2016, there were also 50 non-U.S. lawsuits pending. We believe we have data that supports the efficacy and safety of our metal-on-metal hip products. While continuing to dispute liability, we have participated in court supervised non-binding mediation in the MDL and expect to begin similar mediation in the JCCP.

On November 1, 2016, WMT entered into a Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) with Court-appointed attorneys representing plaintiffs in the MDL and JCCP. Under the terms of the MSA, the parties agreed to settle 1,292 specifically identified CONSERVE, DYNASTY and LINEAGE claims that meet the eligibility requirements of the MSA and are either pending in the MDL or JCCP, or subject to court-approved tolling agreements in the MDL or JCCP, for a settlement amount of $240 million.

We have received claims for personal injury against us associated with fractures of our PROFEMUR^® long titanium modular neck product (Titanium Modular Neck Claims). As of September 25, 2016, there were 31 pending U.S. lawsuits and 48 pending non-U.S. lawsuits alleging such claims. These lawsuits generally seek monetary damages.

We are aware that MicroPort has recalled certain sizes of its cobalt chrome modular neck products as a result of alleged fractures. As of September 25, 2016, there were two pending U.S. lawsuits and five pending non-U.S. lawsuits against us alleging personal injury resulting from the fracture of a cobalt chrome modular neck. These lawsuits generally seek monetary damages.

In June 2015, a jury returned a $4.4 million verdict against us in a case involving a fractured hip implant stem sold prior to the MicroPort closing. This was a one-of-a-kind case unrelated to the modular neck fracture cases we have previously reported. There are no other cases pending related to this component, nor are we aware of other instances where this component has fractured. The case, Alan Warner et al. vs. Wright Medical Technology, Inc. et al., case no. BC 475958, which was filed on December 27, 2011, was tried in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Central District. In September 2015, the trial judge reduced the jury verdict to $1.025 million and indicated that if the plaintiff did not accept the reduced award he would schedule a new trial solely on the issue of damages. The plaintiff elected not to accept the reduced damage award, and both parties have appealed. The Court has not set a date for a new trial on the issue of damages and we do not expect it will do so until the appeals are adjudicated.

Insurance Litigation

On June 10, 2014, St. Paul Surplus Lines Insurance Company (Travelers), which was an excess carrier in our coverage towers across multiple policy years, filed a declaratory judgment action in the Chancery Court of Shelby County, Tennessee naming us

66

and certain of our other insurance carriers as defendants and asking the Court to rule on the rights and responsibilities of the parties with regard to the CONSERVE^® Claims. This case is known as St. Paul Surplus Lines Insurance Company v. Wright Medical Group, Inc., et al. Among other things, Travelers appears to dispute our contention that the CONSERVE^® Claims arise out of more than a single occurrence thereby triggering multiple policy periods of coverage.  Travelers further seeks a determination as to the applicable policy period triggered by the alleged single occurrence.  On June 17, 2014, we filed a separate lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco for declaratory judgment against certain carriers and breach of contract against the primary carrier, and have moved to dismiss or stay the Tennessee action on a number of grounds, including that California is the most appropriate jurisdiction. This case is known as Wright Medical Group, Inc. et al. v. Federal Insurance Company, et al. On September 9, 2014, the California Court granted Travelers' motion to stay our California action. On April 29, 2016, we filed a dispositive motion seeking partial judgment in our favor in the Tennessee action. On June 10, 2016, Travelers withdrew its motion for summary judgment in the Tennessee action.

On October 28, 2016, WMT and Wright Medical Group, Inc. (WMG) entered into a Settlement Agreement, Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement and Policy Buyback Agreement (Insurance Settlement Agreement) with a subgroup of three insurance carriers, namely Columbia Casualty Company (Columbia), Travelers and AXIS Surplus Lines Insurance Company (collectively, the Three Settling Insurers), pursuant to which the Three Settling Insurers agreed to pay WMT an aggregate of $60 million (in addition to $10 million previously paid by Columbia) in a lump sum on or before the 30^th business day after execution of the Insurance Settlement Agreement. This amount will be in full satisfaction of all potential liability of the Three Settling Insurers relating to metal-on-metal hip and similar metal ion release claims, including but not limited to all claims in the MDL and the JCCP, and all claims asserted by WMT against the Three Settling Insurers in the Tennessee action described above.

On September 29, 2015, Markel International Insurance Company Ltd., as successor to Max Insurance Europe Ltd. (Max Insurance), which is the third insurance carrier in our coverage towers across multiple policy years, asserted that the terms and conditions identified in its reservation of rights will preclude coverage for the Titanium Modular Neck Claims. We strongly dispute the carrier's position, and in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of the policy, on January 18, 2016, we filed a Notice of Arbitration against Max Insurance in London, England pursuant to the provisions of the Arbitration Act of 1996.  We are seeking reimbursement, up to the policy limits of $25 million, of costs incurred in the defense and settlement of the Titanium Modular Neck Claims.

Wright/Tornier Merger Related Litigation

On November 26, 2014, a class action complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Tennessee, for the Thirtieth Judicial District, at Memphis (Tennessee Circuit Court), by a purported shareholder of WMG under the caption City of Warwick Retirement System v. Gary D. Blackford et al., CT-005015-14. An amended complaint in the action was filed on January 5, 2015. The amended complaint names as defendants WMG, Tornier, Trooper Holdings Inc. (Holdco), Trooper Merger Sub Inc. (Merger Sub), and the members of the WMG board of directors. The amended complaint asserts various causes of action, including, among other things, that the members of the WMG board of directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to the WMG shareholders in connection with entering into the merger agreement, approving the merger, and causing WMG to issue a preliminary Form S-4 that allegedly fails to disclose material information about the merger. The amended complaint further alleges that Tornier, Holdco, and Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the WMG board of directors. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief enjoining or rescinding the merger and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs.

On December 2, 2014, a separate class action complaint was filed in the Tennessee Chancery Court by a purported shareholder of WMG under the caption Paulette Jacques v. Wright Medical Group, Inc., et al., CH-14-1736-1. An amended complaint in the action was filed on January 27, 2015. The amended complaint names as defendants WMG, Tornier, Holdco, Merger Sub, Warburg Pincus LLC and the members of the WMG board of directors. The amended complaint asserts various causes of action, including, among other things, that the members of the WMG board of directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to the WMG shareholders in connection with entering into the merger agreement, approving the merger, and causing WMG to issue a preliminary Form S-4 that allegedly fails to disclose material information about the merger. The amended complaint further alleges that WMG, Tornier, Warburg Pincus LLC, Holdco and Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the WMG board of directors. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief enjoining or rescinding the merger and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs.

In an order dated March 31, 2015, the Tennessee Circuit Court transferred City of Warwick Retirement System v. Gary D. Blackford et al., CT-005015-14 to the Tennessee Chancery Court for consolidation with Paulette Jacques v. Wright Medical Group, Inc., et al., CH-14-1736-1 (Consolidated Tennessee Action). In an order dated April 9, 2015, the Tennessee Chancery Court stayed the Consolidated Tennessee Action; that stay expired upon completion of the Wright/Tornier merger. On September 19, 2016, the Tennessee Chancery Court entered an agreed order, dismissing the Jacques case without prejudice.

Other

In addition to those noted above, we are subject to various other legal proceedings, product liability claims, corporate governance, and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors that were discussed in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2015, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2016, other than the new or updated risk factors below.

Our agreement to settle a substantial portion of our metal-on-metal hip litigation claims is limited to approximately 1,292 qualifying revision claims and will leave a substantial number of metal-on-metal hip claims unresolved.

On November 1, 2016, our subsidiary Wright Medical Technology, Inc. (WMT) entered into a Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) with Court-appointed attorneys representing plaintiffs in the previously disclosed metal-on-metal hip litigation known as In Re: Wright Medical Technology, Inc., CONSERVE® Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2329 (MDL) and In re: Wright Hip System Cases, Judicial Council Coordination Proceeding No. 4710 (JCCP). Under the terms of the MSA, the parties agreed, without admission of fault, to settle 1,292 specifically identified CONSERVE, DYNASTY or LINEAGE revision claims which meet the eligibility requirements of the MSA and are either pending in the MDL or JCCP, or are subject to tolling agreements approved in the MDL or JCCP, for a total settlement amount of $240 million. The final MSA settlement amount (not to exceed $240 million), and the final number of claims settled under the MSA, will depend on, among other things, the number of claimants electing to participate in the settlement and the mix of products implanted in the settling claimant group. Claims which do not meet the eligibility requirements of the MSA, new claims, and claims which have opted-out of the settlement will not be settled under the MSA. We will continue to defend these claims, and the previously disclosed risks, uncertainties and contingencies associated with these claims will remain unresolved. As of September 25, 2016, we estimate there were approximately 600 existing revision claims that are ineligible to participate in the MSA. For additional information regarding the MSA, see Note 13 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our agreement to settle a substantial portion of our metal-on-metal hip litigation claims may be cancelled if an insufficient number of eligible claimants choose to participate.

The MSA contains a 95% opt-in requirement meaning that if greater than five percent (5%) of eligible claimants decline to participate in the settlement, we may cancel the MSA. We believe a participation rate of at least 95% is necessary in order to realize the benefits of the MSA. If a 95% participation rate is not achieved there is a significant risk the MSA will be cancelled. If the MSA is cancelled we will be required to continue defending a substantial number of claims that might otherwise have been settled, and the previously disclosed risks, uncertainties and contingencies associated with these claims will remain unresolved.

Our agreement with three insurance carriers to settle pending coverage litigation includes broad releases of coverage for present and future claims of personal injury alleged to be caused by metal-on-metal hip components or the release of metal ions, which could result in inadequate insurance coverage to defend and resolve these claims. In addition, our settlement with the three carriers does not resolve previously disclosed disputes with the remaining carriers concerning the extent of coverage available for metal-on-metal hip claims.

On October 28, 2016, our WMT and WMG subsidiaries entered into a Settlement Agreement with a subgroup of three insurance carriers, Columbia Casualty Company, St. Paul Surplus Lines Insurance Company and AXIS Surplus Lines Insurance Company (Three Settling Insurers), pursuant to which the Three Settling Insurers agreed to pay $60 million (in addition to $10 million previously paid) in full settlement of all potential liability of the Three Settling Insurers for metal ion and metal-on-metal hip claims, including but not limited to all claims in the MDL and the JCCP. As part of the settlement, the Three Settling Insurers will repurchase their policies in the five policy years beginning with the 2007-2008 policy year. Consequently, we will have no further coverage from the Three Settling Insurers for present or future metal-on-metal or metal ion claims falling in these five policy periods, or any other period in which a specifically released claim is asserted.

To the extent transition activities related to the sale of our Large Joints Business divert management attention from our ongoing operations, this could have an adverse effect on our business.

On October 21, 2016, we sold our Large Joints Business to Corin Orthopaedics Holdings Limited (Corin). In connection with the transaction, we entered into a transitional services agreement pursuant to which we agreed to provide Corin certain support services and a supply agreement pursuant to which we agreed to manufacture certain of the large joints products for Corin, in each case for a transitional period of time. Our post-closing obligations under the transitional services agreement and supply agreement will require us to dedicate substantial resources, personnel and manufacturing capacity that may add costs to our ongoing business and could cause us to incur unanticipated costs and liabilities.

68

We operate in markets outside the United States that are subject to political, economic, and social instability and expose us to additional risks.

Operations in countries outside of the United States accounted for approximately 28% of our net sales for our fiscal year ended December 27, 2015. Our operations outside of the United States are accompanied by certain financial and other risks. We intend to continue to pursue growth opportunities in sales outside the United States, especially in emerging markets, which could expose us to greater risks associated with international sales operations. Our international sales operations expose us and our representatives, agents, and distributors to risks inherent in operating in foreign jurisdictions. These risks include:

• the imposition of additional U.S. and foreign governmental controls or regulations on orthopaedic implants and biologic products;

• new export license requirements;

• the imposition of U.S. or international sanctions against a country, company, person, or entity with whom we do business that would restrict or prohibit continued business with that country, company, person, or entity;

• economic instability, including currency risk between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, in our target markets;

• the imposition of restrictions on the activities of foreign agents, representatives, and distributors;

• scrutiny of foreign tax authorities, which could result in significant fines, penalties, and additional taxes being imposed upon us;

• a shortage of high-quality international salespeople and distributors;

• loss of any key personnel who possess proprietary knowledge or are otherwise important to our success in international markets;

• changes in third-party reimbursement policy that may require some of the patients who receive our products to directly absorb medical costs or that may necessitate our reducing selling prices for our products;

• unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements;

• differing local product preferences and product requirements;

• changes in tariffs and other trade restrictions, particularly related to the exportation of our biologic products;

• work stoppages or strikes in the healthcare industry, such as those that have affected our operations in France, Canada, Korea, and Finland in the past;

• difficulties in enforcing and defending intellectual property rights;

• foreign currency exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating cash earned in countries outside the Netherlands;

• complex data privacy requirements and labor relations laws; and

• exposure to different legal and political standards due to our conducting business in over 50 countries.

In addition, on June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” As a result of the referendum, negotiations are expected to commence to determine the future terms of the United Kingdom’s relationship with the European Union, including the terms of trade between the United Kingdom and the European Union. Although it is unknown what those terms will be, it is possible that there will be greater restrictions on the movement of goods and people between the United Kingdom and European Union countries and increased regulatory complexities, which could affect our ability to sell our products in certain European Union countries. Brexit could adversely affect European and worldwide economic and market conditions and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets, including volatility in the value of the British pound and Euro. In addition, other European countries may seek to conduct referenda with respect to continuing membership with the European Union. We do not know to what extent these changes will impact our business. Any of these effects of Brexit, and others that we cannot anticipate, could adversely affect our business, operations and financial results.

Since we conduct operations through U.S. operating subsidiaries, not only are we subject to the laws of non-U.S. jurisdictions, but we also are subject to U.S. laws governing our activities in foreign countries, such as the FCPA, as well as various import-export laws, regulations, and embargoes. If our business activities were determined to violate these laws, regulations, or rules, we could suffer serious consequences.

Healthcare regulation and reimbursement for medical devices vary significantly from country to country. This changing environment could adversely affect our ability to sell our products in some jurisdictions.

69

We have a significant amount of indebtedness. We may not be able to generate enough cash flow from our operations to service our indebtedness, and we may incur additional indebtedness in the future, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We have a significant amount of indebtedness, including $2.0 million in aggregate principal with additional accrued interest under WMG’s 2.00% cash convertible senior notes due 2017 (2017 Notes), $587.5 million in aggregate principal with additional accrued interest under WMG’s 2.00% cash convertible senior notes due 2020, which Wright Medical Group N.V. has guaranteed (2020 Notes), and $395.0 million in aggregate principal with additional accrued interest under our 2.25% cash convertible senior notes due 2021(2021 Notes, together with the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes, the Notes). Our ability to make payments on, and to refinance, our indebtedness, including the Notes, and our ability to fund planned capital expenditures, contractual cash obligations, research and development efforts, working capital, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or if future borrowings are not available to us in an amount sufficient to pay our indebtedness, including payments of principal upon conversion of outstanding Notes or on their respective maturity dates or in connection with a transaction involving us that constitutes a fundamental change under the respective indenture governing the Notes, or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the Notes, on or before the maturity dates thereof, sell assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures, seek to raise additional capital, or take other similar actions. We may not be able to execute any of these actions on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on our financial condition at the time, the restrictions in the instruments governing our indebtedness, and other factors, including market conditions. In addition, in the event of a default under the Notes, the holders and/or the trustee under the indentures governing the Notes may accelerate payment obligations under the Notes, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations, or to refinance or restructure our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would likely have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

In addition, our significant indebtedness, combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments, could have other important consequences. For example, it could:

• make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general U.S. and worldwide economic, industry, and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;

• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry;

• restrict our ability to make strategic acquisitions or dispositions or to exploit business opportunities;

• place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who have less debt; and

• limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, contractual obligations, research and development efforts, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy, or other purposes.

Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness, and if we do, the risks related to our business and our ability to service our indebtedness would increase.

In addition, under our Notes, we are required to offer to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, which could include, among other things, any acquisition of ours for consideration other than publicly traded securities. The repurchase price must be paid in cash, and this obligation may have the effect of discouraging, delaying, or preventing an acquisition of ours that would otherwise be beneficial to our security holders.

With respect to the 2021 Notes which have been issued by Wright Medical Group N.V., we are dependent on the cash flow of, and dividends and distributions to us from, our subsidiaries in order to service our indebtedness under these notes. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to any indebtedness of ours or to make any funds available therefor, except for those subsidiaries that have guaranteed our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay any dividends and distributions will be subject to, among other things, the terms of any debt instruments of our subsidiaries then in effect as well as among other things, the availability of profits or funds and requirements of applicable laws, including surplus, solvency and other limits imposed on the ability of companies to pay dividends. There can be no assurance that our subsidiaries will generate cash flow sufficient to pay dividends or distributions to us that enable us to pay interest or principal on our existing indebtedness.

A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of the indentures governing the Notes could result in events of default under such indentures, which could require the immediate repayment of our outstanding indebtedness. If we are at any time unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to service our indebtedness when payment is due, we may be required to attempt to renegotiate the terms of the indentures and other agreements relating to the indebtedness, seek to refinance all or a portion of

70

the indebtedness, or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully renegotiate such terms, that any such refinancing would be possible, or that any additional financing could be obtained on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us.

Hedge and warrant transactions entered into in connection with the issuance of our Notes may affect the value of our ordinary shares.

In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, WMG entered into hedge transactions with various financial institutions with the objective of reducing the potential dilutive effect of issuing WMG common stock upon conversion of the 2020 Notes and the potential cash outlay from the cash conversion of the 2020 Notes. WMG also entered into separate warrant transactions with the same financial institutions. These hedge and warrant transactions were subject to certain modifications as a result of the consummation of the Wright/Tornier merger. In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, we also entered into hedge transactions with various financial institutions with the objective of reducing the potential dilutive effect of issuing our ordinary shares upon conversion of the 2021 Notes and the potential cash outlay from the cash conversion of the 2021 Notes. We also entered into separate warrant transactions with the same financial institutions.

In connection with the hedge and warrant transactions associated with the 2020 Notes, these financial institutions purchased WMG common stock in secondary market transactions and entered into various over-the-counter derivative transactions with respect to WMG common stock. As a result of the completion of the Wright/Tornier merger, the WMG common stock converted into our ordinary shares. In connection with the hedge and warrant transactions associated with the 2021 Notes, these financial institutions purchased our ordinary shares in secondary market transactions and entered into various over-the-counter derivative transactions with respect to our ordinary shares. These entities or their affiliates are likely to modify their hedge positions from time to time prior to conversion or maturity of the 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes by purchasing and selling our ordinary shares, other of our securities, or other instruments they may wish to use in connection with such hedging. Any of these transactions and activities could adversely affect the value of our ordinary shares and, as a result, the number and value of the ordinary shares holders will receive upon conversion of the 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes. In addition, subject to movement in the price of our ordinary shares, if the hedge transactions settle in our favor, we could be exposed to credit risk related to the other party with respect to the payment we are owed from such other party. If any of the participants in the hedge transactions is unwilling or unable to perform its obligations for any reason, we would not be able to receive the benefit of such transaction. We cannot provide any assurances as to the financial stability or viability of any of the participants in the hedge transactions.

Sale of Assets Related to Large Joints Business to Corin

As disclosed elsewhere in this report, we sold the assets related to our Large Joints Business to Corin. In connection with the transaction and as previously disclosed, we entered into a binding offer letter with Corin on July 8, 2016 pursuant to which Corin provided us a binding promise to purchase the Large Joints Business, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein. On September 22, 2016, following a consultation process with our employee works council and health and safety committee in France and the issuance or deemed issuance of the opinions of the works council and health and safety committee, we accepted the binding offer, and the parties thereafter executed a business sale agreement, transitional services agreement, supply agreement and other ancillary agreements required to implement the transaction and closed the transaction on October 21, 2016.

Master Settlement Agreement in Connection with Certain Metal-on-Metal Hip Litigation Claims

On November 1, 2016, our wholly owned subsidiary Wright Medical Technology, Inc. (WMT) entered into a Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) with Court-appointed attorneys representing plaintiffs in the previously disclosed metal-on-metal hip multi-district litigation known as In Re: Wright Medical Technology, Inc., CONSERVE^® Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation, MDL

71

No. 2329 (MDL) and the consolidated proceeding pending in state court in California known as In re: Wright Hip System Cases, Judicial Council Coordination Proceeding No. 4710 (JCCP).

Under the terms of the MSA, the parties agreed to settle 1,292 specifically identified CONSERVE^®, DYNASTY^® and LINEAGE^® claims that meet the eligibility requirements of the MSA and are either pending in the MDL or JCCP, or subject to court-approved tolling agreements in the MDL or JCCP, for a settlement amount of $240 million.

The $240 million settlement amount is a maximum settlement based on the pool of 1,292 specific, existing claims comprised of an identified mix of CONSERVE^®, DYNASTY^® and LINEAGE^® products (Initial Settlement Pool), with a value assigned to each product type, resulting in a total settlement of $240 million for the 1,292 claims in the Initial Settlement Pool. The actual settlement may be less, depending on several factors including the mix of products and claimants in the final settlement pool (Final Settlement Pool) and the number of claimants electing to “opt-out” of the settlement.

Actual settlements paid to individual claimants will be determined under the claims administration procedures contained in the MSA and may be more or less than the amounts used to calculate the $240 million settlement for the 1,292 claims in the Initial Settlement Pool. However in no event will variations in actual settlement amounts payable to individual claimants affect WMT’s maximum settlement obligation of $240 million or the manner in which it may be reduced due to opt outs, final product mix, or elimination of ineligible claims.

If it is determined a claim in the Initial Settlement Pool is ineligible due to failure to meet the eligibility criteria of the MSA, such claim will be removed and, where possible, replaced with a new eligible claim involving the same product, with the goal of having the number and mix of claims in the Final Settlement Pool (before opt-outs) equal, as nearly as possible, the number and mix of claims in the Initial Settlement Pool. Additionally, if any DYNASTY® or LINEAGE® claims in the Final Settlement Pool are determined to have been misidentified as CONSERVE® claims, or vice versa, the total settlement amount will be adjusted based on the value for each product type (not to exceed $240 million).

The MSA contains specific eligibility requirements and establishes procedures for proof and administration of claims, negotiation and execution of individual settlement agreements, determination of the final total settlement amount, and funding of individual settlement amounts by WMT. Eligibility requirements include, without limitation, that the claimant has a claim pending or tolled in the MDL or JCCP, that the claimant has undergone a revision surgery within eight years of the original implantation surgery, and that the claim has not been identified by WMT as having possible statute of limitation issues. Claimants who have had bilateral revision surgeries will be counted as two claims but only to the extent both claims separately satisfy all eligibility criteria.

The MSA includes a 95% opt-in requirement, meaning the MSA may be terminated by WMT prior to any settlement disbursement if claimants holding greater than 5% of eligible claims in the Final Settlement Pool elect to “opt-out” of the settlement. WMT, in its sole discretion, may waive this 95% opt-in requirement. No funding of any individual plaintiff settlement will occur until the 95% opt-in requirement has been satisfied or waived.

WMT has agreed to escrow $150 million to secure its obligations under the MSA. The escrow fund will be returned to WMT if the MSA is terminated due to failure to meet the 95% opt-in requirement. As additional security, we have agreed to guaranty WMT’s obligations under the MSA.

The MSA was entered into solely as a compromise of the disputed claims being settled and is not evidence that any claim has merit nor is it an admission of wrongdoing or liability by WMT. WMT will continue to vigorously defend metal-on-metal hip claims not settled pursuant to the MSA. As of September 25, 2016, there were approximately 600 outstanding metal-on-metal hip revision claims not included in the Initial Settlement Pool.

More information regarding WMT’s metal-on-metal hip litigation can be found at Note 13 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report and in the section entitled “Legal Proceedings.”

The foregoing description of the MSA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the MSA filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

Settlement Agreement in Connection with Insurance Coverage Litigation

On October 28, 2016, our indirect subsidiaries WMT and Wright Medical Group, Inc. (Wright Entities) entered into a Settlement Agreement, Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement and Policy Buyback Agreement (Insurance Settlement Agreement) with a subgroup of three insurance carriers, namely Columbia Casualty Company, St. Paul Surplus Lines Insurance Company and AXIS Surplus Lines Insurance Company (collectively, the Three Settling Insurers), pursuant to which the Three Settling Insurers agreed to pay WMT an aggregate of $60 million (in addition to $10 million previously paid by Columbia) in a lump sum on or before the 30^th business day after execution of the Insurance Settlement Agreement. This amount will be in full satisfaction of all potential liability of the Three Settling Insurers relating to metal-on-metal hip and similar metal ion release claims, including but not limited to all claims in the MDL and the JCCP, and all claims asserted by WMT against the Three Settling Insurers in the previously disclosed insurance coverage litigation.

72

As part of the settlement, the Three Settling Insurers will buy back from WMT their policies in the five policy years beginning with the August 15, 2007- August 15, 2008 policy year (Repurchased Policy Years). Consequently, the Wright Entities will have no further coverage from the Three Settling Insurers for any present or future claims falling in the Repurchased Policy Years, or any other period in which a released claim is asserted. Additionally, the Insurance Settlement Agreement contains a so-called most favored nation provision which could require us to refund a pro rata portion of the settlement amount if we voluntarily enter into a settlement with the remaining carriers in the Repurchased Policy Years on certain terms more favorable than analogous terms in the Insurance Settlement Agreement.

More information regarding the pending insurance coverage litigation can be found at Note 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report and in the section entitled “Legal Proceedings.” We anticipate filing a copy of the Insurance Settlement Agreement as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2016.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

Between Wright Medical Technology, Inc.

And

Plaintiffs’ Co-Lead Counsel in In Re: Wright Medical Technology, Inc., CONSERVE® Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2329 and In re: Wright Hip System Cases, Judicial Council Coordination Proceeding No. 4710

This settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) is made and entered into this 1st day of November, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), between (i) Wright Medical Technology, Inc. (“Wright Medical”) and (ii) Plaintiffs’ Co-Lead Counsel appointed by the Hon. William S. Duffey in MDL No. 2329 (the “MDL”) and Plaintiffs’ Co-Lead Counsel appointed by the Hon. Jane Johnson in JCCP No. 4710 (the “JCCP”) (referred to collectively as “Plaintiffs’ Counsel”) (Plaintiffs’ Counsel and Wright Medical each a “Party” and collectively referred to as the “Parties”).

PREAMBLE

WHEREAS, claimants in the MDL and JCCP, and under tolling agreements, have asserted claims against Wright Medical and other persons and entities for alleged injuries, losses and damages allegedly sustained by the claimants as a result of the use of certain Wright Medical products; and

WHEREAS, Wright Medical disputes that any claimant has sustained injuries, losses or damages as a result of the use of any Wright Medical product; and

WHEREAS, the claimants and Wright Medical are mindful of uncertainties engendered by litigation and want to settle their disputes by entering into this Settlement Agreement; and

WHEREAS, with this Settlement Agreement and the Term Sheet previously executed by the Parties on September 1, 2016 (the “Term Sheet”), the Parties intend to settle a subset of MDL, JCCP and tolling agreement claims totaling 1,292 claims (“Target Settlement Pool”), such Target Settlement Pool consisting of 1,099 claims involving CONSERVE® products, and 193 claims involving DYNASTY® or LINEAGE® products, for a total settlement amount of two hundred and forty million dollars ($240,000,000) (“Target Settlement Amount”), per the Term Sheet; and

WHEREAS, claimants with claims eligible for settlement under this Settlement Agreement will elect to participate in this settlement on or before January 31, 2017 and

WHEREAS, the Target Settlement Amount is subject to downward adjustment pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Term Sheet if (i) the number of claims included in the final settlement pool (“Final Settlement Pool”) is fewer than 1,292 claims and/or (ii) claimants in the Final Settlement Pool elect to “opt-out” of the settlement (each an “Opt-Out Claim” and collectively the “Opt-Out Claims”) and/or (iii) the mix of CONSERVE® versus DYNASTY® or

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

LINEAGE® claims in the Final Settlement Pool differs from the mix of 1,099 CONSERVE® Claims and 193 DYNASTY® or LINEAGE® claims in the Target Settlement Pool; and

WHEREAS, the Parties anticipate that some claims originally slated for inclusion in the Target Settlement Pool will fail to meet eligibility criteria (each an “Ineligible Claim” and collectively the “Ineligible Claims”), and will be replaced with new eligible claims involving the same products, such that the Final Settlement Pool mirrors as closely as possible the Target Settlement Pool; and

WHEREAS, the parties anticipate that some DYNASTY® or LINEAGE® claims in the Target Settlement Pool have been misidentified as CONSERVE® claims (and vice versa), and intend to adjust the Target Settlement Amount for such misidentifications in the manner set forth in the Term Sheet;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, Plaintiffs’ Counsel and Wright Medical agree as follows:

1. SETTLEMENT ELIGIBILITY AND EXCLUSIONS

1.1 Eligibility Requirements: To be eligible for settlement hereunder, a claim must meet all of the following requirements:

1.1.1 The claimant must have a claim filed and pending in either the MDL or JCCP, or be subject to a fully executed tolling agreement between the parties whether entered arising from the MDL or the JCCP which was approved by the MDL Court.

1.1.2 The claimant must have received, and undergone the revision of the cup, the head, the liner, or some combination thereof, of one of the following metal-on-metal articulating bearing surface product configurations:

(a) A CONSERVE® acetabular cup paired with a CONSERVE® cobalt chromium femoral head (a “CONSERVE® Claim”);

(b) A DYNASTY® acetabular cup and metal liner paired with a CONSERVE® cobalt chromium femoral head (a “DYNASTY® Claim”); or

(c) A LINEAGE® acetabular cup and metal liner paired with a LINEAGE® or CONSERVE® cobalt chromium femoral head (a “LINEAGE® Claim”).

1.1.3 The claimant must have undergone a revision of the cup, the head, the liner, or some combination thereof, of the CONSERVE®, DYNASTY® or LINEAGE® metal-on-metal products no earlier than 150 days after the date of the surgery during which the CONSERVE®, DYNASTY® or

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

LINEAGE® metal-on-metal products were originally implanted (the “Qualified Revision Surgery”).

1.1.4 Each “Eligible Claim” is identified on the final list of claims agreed upon by the Parties (the “Eligible Claims List”). The Eligible Claims List is derived from the 1,292 prospective claims identified on a list provided by Wright Medical to Plaintiffs’ Counsel on July 8, 2016 (the “July 8 List”), as adjusted per the steps set forth in the Term Sheet (“Eligibility Adjustments”), incorporated herein by reference, to account for a determination by Wright Medical that one or more of the claims on the July 8, 2016 List is not an Eligible Claim pursuant to sections 1.1.1, 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 of this Settlement Agreement.

1.2 Exclusions from Settlement: Claims meeting the above eligibility requirements are nevertheless not included in this settlement if:

1.2.1 The claim is identified by Wright Medical as potentially barred by an applicable statute of limitations or repose;

1.2.2 The claimant underwent a revision of the CONSERVE®, DYNASTY® or LINEAGE® metal-on-metal products later than 8 years after the date of the original implantation surgery; or

1.2.3 The claim is not identified on the Eligible Claims List described in section 1.1.4 of this Settlement Agreement. To be clear, the settlement is not open for general enrollment, and is limited to the specifically identified Eligible Claims.

2. TOTAL AMOUNT OF SETTLEMENT

2.1 Wright Medical agrees to pay a total sum of two hundred and forty million dollars ($240,000,000) to settle the 1,292 Claims identified by Wright Medical as of July 8, 2016 (the “July 8 List”), subject to the Eligibility Adjustments. The total settlement sum of $240 million for the 1,292 Claims is based on the following product mix contained in Wright Medical’s July 8 List, as follows:

(a) 193 DYNASTY® Claims and/or LINEAGE® Claims;

(b) 1,066 CONSERVE® Claims; and

(c) 33 claims involving to be determined product configurations (each an “Unknown Claim”).

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

2.2 The total amount of all Eligibility Adjustments will be confirmed and agreed to by the Parties, however under no circumstance will the total amount of the settlement exceed $240,000,000.

3. INDIVIDUAL SETTLEMENTS

3.1 General Provisions:

3.1.1 No settlement payments under either the standard settlement (“Standard Settlement Option”) or the extraordinary injury fund (“EIF Option”), as both are described below, will be made to any claimant with an Eligible Claim (each such claimant an “Eligible Claimant” or “EC”) pursuant to this Settlement Agreement until Wright Medical’s Walk Away Rights under the 95% Acceptance Requirement, set forth in Section 5, have expired without having been exercised or waived pursuant to Section 5.

3.1.2 By participating in this Settlement Agreement, the Parties and ECs acknowledge that all settlement awards paid pursuant to the Settlement Agreement constitute damages on account of personal injuries or physical injuries or physical sickness within the meaning of Section 104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, arising from the physical injuries alleged to have resulted from the implantation, use, and/or removal of CONSERVE®, DYNASTY®, or LINEAGE® hip implants. The Parties and ECs further acknowledge that no portion of the proceeds paid under the Settlement Agreement represents punitive or exemplary damages, prejudgment or postjudgment interest, any amount for lost income or wages, or payment for any other non-physical injury. Each EC participating in this Settlement Agreement waives and releases any and all claims for punitive or exemplary damages, prejudgment or postjudgment interest, any amount for lost income or wages, or payment for any other non-physical injuries.

3.2 Two Alternative Settlement Options:

3.2.1 Two alternative settlement options are available for ECs under this Settlement Agreement to achieve individual settlements of claims (an “Individual Settlement”). The two options are mutually exclusive.

3.2.2 The first is the Standard Settlement Option. It is a simple settlement process designed to be completed on an expedited basis. Once it has been established that a claimant is an EC under the terms of this Settlement Agreement, no further proof will be necessary, beyond a claim election form used to identify which settlement an EC is choosing (“Claim Election Form”), in order to receive the Standard Settlement compensation.

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

3.2.3 The second alternative settlement option is the EIF Option. Under it, an EC may receive an enhanced award as set forth below. The EIF Option will take several months longer to complete and will require additional evidence, proof, and review beyond the initial eligibility requirements under this Settlement Agreement.

3.2.4 An EC’s election between the Standard Settlement and EIF Option must be made by January 31, 2017, by submitting a Claim Election Form via electronic portal, as established by the Claims Administrator. The Release, defined below, will include a verification for signature by the EC confirming EC’s election, and that revision surgery has occurred that qualifies for this settlement. Contemporaneously with this election, each EC must also submit via the electronic portal established by the Claims Administrator an identification of all health insurance providers that s/he had between the date of the Qualified Revision Surgery through the Effective Date of this Settlement Agreement.

3.2.5 By submitting a Claim Election Form, each EC expressly agrees that any settlement award, either under the Standard Settlement Option or EIF Option, is final and binding once set under the below procedures. To be clear, EC’s electing the EIF Option expressly agree that any settlement award will be final and binding, even though the EC will not know the exact amount of the EIF Option award at the time of submitting a Claim Election Form.

3.2.6 Each EC that submits a Claim Election Form consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the MDL Court and the Hon. William S. Duffey for the purposes of enforcement of each EC’s Individual Settlement.

3.2.7 There will be no deductions from settlement awards under either settlement option, except for payment of liens as set forth in Section 7 and common benefit attorney fees and expenses as set forth in Section 6. This Settlement Agreement does not negate, amend or revise any representation agreements that may exist by and between individual ECs and their respective counsel.

OPTION ONE: STANDARD SETTLEMENT

3.3 Standard Settlement Option

3.3.1 Standard Settlement Compensation. With respect to the Standard Settlement Option, each EC with a CONSERVE® Claim will receive $170,000.00 and each EC with a DYNASTY® or LINEAGE® Claim will receive $120,000.00. These gross settlement amounts are subject to deductions per Section 3.2.7.

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

3.3.2 The mechanics and timing of Wright Medical’s payments to fund the Standard Settlement Option are set forth in Section 10.

OPTION TWO:

EIF SETTLEMENT OPTION

3.4 EIF Settlement Option

Option Two, the EIF Option, is established as a means to provide supplemental compensation, in addition to the compensation under the Standard Settlement Option of $170,000.00 for each CONSERVE® Claim or $120,000.00 for each DYNASTY® or LINEAGE® Claim, to ECs who have incurred specified, unique, or extraordinary injuries in connection with their Qualified Revision Surgery or Covered Re-Revision Surgery, as defined below. ECs who seek to participate under the EIF Option and whose tabbed and highlighted medical records information, submitted with their Proof of Claim (per Section 4) demonstrate to a reasonable degree of medical probability that the EC is entitled to an award under the EIF Option, may receive an enhanced award. ECs bear the burden of proof in establishing that they qualify for an award under the EIF Option. Should it be determined that an EC had no reasonable basis to seek an award under the EIF Option, a $5,000 reduction, to cover administration costs, will be assessed to reduce any amount otherwise available to that EC under this Settlement Agreement.

3.4.1 EIF Accounting. The total potential fund available to pay enhanced awards under the EIF Option (the “EIF Award Pool”) is expected to be approximately $50,000,000. However, the total amount of EIF Award Pool is based on the number of ECs that claim compensation under the EIF Option, and therefore will not be known or fixed until after all Claim Election Forms have been received. The final amount of the EIF Award Pool will be confirmed between Wright Medical and Plaintiffs’ Counsel. Regardless of the amount of the EIF Award Pool, under no circumstances will the total amount of the settlement, including all Standard Settlement Option awards and the EIF Award Pool, exceed $240,000,000, and under no circumstances will availability of the EIF Option cause Wright Medical to be required to pay any amounts other than as explicitly agreed to in this Settlement Agreement and the Term Sheet, incorporated herein by reference. To be clear, no amounts attributable to 1) Opt-Out Claims, as defined and discussed in Section 5 below, or 2) amounts attributable to claims that are determined not to be Eligible Claims, or involve product misidentifications, will be repurposed or reallocated to fund the EIF Award Pool.

3.4.2 The mechanics and timing of Wright Medical’s payments to fund the EIF Option are set forth in Section 10.

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

3.4.3 Determinations of EIF Awards.

(a) Plaintiffs’ Counsel will create a Settlement Oversight Committee (or “SOC”), to consist of select counsel representing ECs.

(b) The EIF Option is designed to evaluate enhancement claims on their merits pursuant to the terms of this Settlement Agreement and the contemporaneous medical records of the ECs making a claim under the EIF Option. A claims administrator will be engaged by the SOC (the “Claims Administrator”), and the Claims Administrator will be solely responsible for the evaluation of EIF Option claims and the determination of EIF Option awards.

3.4.4 The Claims Administrator may seek information to assist in its impartial allocation of EIF Option awards, including from Wright Medical’s counsel. In addition to each EC’s tabbed and highlighted medical records, the Claims Administrator will have access to all documents produced by each EC in the MDL, the JCCP, or pursuant to any tolling agreement (e.g., preliminary disclosures, fact sheets, documents, interrogatory answers). The Claims Administrator may demand, at its sole discretion and at the EC’s expense, additional medical records necessary to properly evaluate an EIF Option claim. The Claims Administrator has the right, if it deems necessary, to obtain authorizations for the release of medical records, which will be obtained at the EC’s sole expense. The procedures for obtaining additional medical records will be determined in coordination with the Claims Administrator and the SOC.

(a) The Claims Administrator and SOC will work together to ensure that the EIF Option procedures are conducted fairly, efficiently and economically.

(b) The initial determination of eligibility for, and amount of, an EIF Option award will be made by the Claims Administrator pursuant to Section 3.6 below. The initial determination will be based on the tabbed and highlighted medical records provided with the Proof of Claim (Section 4) and the terms of this Settlement Agreement.

(c) If an EIF Option award is denied, the EC may elect to appeal the award to a special master who will be retained by the SOC, and granted exclusive authority to decide appeals of denials of EIF Option awards (the “Special Master”). Appeals will be addressed by the Special Master through written submission by EC or counsel for the EC within 30 days of electronic notification of an

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

EIF Option award. The decision of the Special Master on an EC’s appeal is final and binding on the EC, and no EC has any rights to pursue any claim, litigation or appeal of any type from the decision of the Special Master.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, there is no discovery process involved in the evaluation or determination of EIF Option awards. There will be no new depositions, written discovery, expert reports, affidavits, hearings or trials in connection with the submission of EIF Option claims or the evaluation or determination of any EIF Option award. ECs have the burdens of proof and production of medical records to establish that the criteria for an EIF Option award has been met. To be clear, in connection with an EIF Option claim, ECs must submit specific medical records appropriately tabbed and highlighted to demonstrate the information that establishes eligibility for an EIF Option award. ECs who submit entire sets of medical records without specific tabbing and highlighting may be assessed a fee set by the SOC.

3.5 Bilateral Hip Implants Revised.

3.5.1 ECs who had bilateral hip implants of CONSERVE®, DYNASTY® and/or LINEAGE® products and who have undergone a Qualified Revision Surgery in which only one hip implant was revised may receive compensation under either of the two alternative settlement options, but only for the revised hip. All rights will be reserved with respect to the unrevised hip implant outside of this Settlement Agreement, by limited release in a form to be agreed to by the Parties.

3.5.2 ECs who had bilateral hip implants of CONSERVE®, DYNASTY®, and/or LINEAGE® products who have undergone Qualified Revision Surgeries on both hips may make a claim for each hip. ECs under this category may elect a Standard Settlement for one of the qualifying hips, but the other qualifying hip must be processed under the EIF Option, subject to priority payment as stated in Section 10.8.6. Claimants may elect the EIF Option for both hips, but will qualify for only one priority payment under Section 10.8.6. All other EIF Option claims and/or amounts are subject to the EIF Option process. The following chart illustrates the award options for ECs with bilateral hip implants:

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

Qualified Revision Surgery. Such Covered Re-Revision surgery had to have taken place on or before the Effective Date.

(b) Eligibility. ECs who underwent a Covered Re-Revision Surgery will be entitled to additional compensation under the EIF Option (subject to all reductions herein) per Covered Re-Revision Surgery. The following are excluded:

(i) A Re-Revision Surgery that was necessitated by an infection will be governed by the provision for infection-related treatment described in Section 3.6.6 and not this Section; and

(c) The aggregate total of all awards for Covered Re-Revision Surgeries under Sections 3.6.3 will not exceed a maximum amount to be set forth on the EIF Award Schedule.

3.6.4 Dislocation.

(a) Eligibility. An EC who required medical treatment for a dislocation event of the femoral head of the hip after a Qualified Revision Surgery that is documented by diagnosis in contemporary medical records and which dislocation event necessitated (i) a closed reduction in a hospital, (ii) an open reduction in a hospital, or (iii) a Covered Re-Revision Surgery, will be entitled to an EIF Option award under this Section. The following are excluded:

(i) Dislocation events that occurred before the Qualified Revision Surgery do not qualify for an EIF Option award, and

(ii) A dislocation event after a Qualified Revision Surgery or Covered Re-Revision Surgery that is caused or precipitated by trauma is not entitled to any EIF Option Award under this Section.

(b) The aggregate total of all awards for dislocation under Section 3.6.4 will not exceed a maximum amount to be set forth on the EIF Award Schedule.

(c) Dislocation and Covered Re-Revision Surgery. If a dislocation event was one of the causes of a Covered Re-Revision Surgery, an

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

eligible EC’s award will issue under this Section and not the provision for Covered Re-Revision Surgery.

3.6.5 Foot Drop.

(a) Eligibility. An EC who has suffered injury to the peroneal or sciatic nerve as a result of a Qualified Revision Surgery or Covered Re-Revision Surgery, resulting in the inability to lift the front part of the foot, diagnosed during the hospitalization for the Qualified Revision Surgery or Covered Re-Revision Surgery, and that is documented in contemporaneous medical records as existing more than 365 days after the date of the Qualified Revision Surgery or Covered Re-Revision Surgery shall be entitled to an EIF Option award under this Section.

3.6.6 Infection.

(a) Eligibility. An EC who underwent treatment for an infection after a Qualified Revision Surgery, (i) where the infection was not the cause of the Qualified Revision Surgery as documented in the contemporaneous medical records, and (ii) which required (a) surgical debridement, (b) a Covered Re-Revision Surgery in either a one or two-step procedure, (c) arthrodesis, or (d) extended intravenous antibiotic treatment of at least eight (8) consecutive weeks in length, shall be entitled to an EIF Option award under this Section.

(b) Infection and Covered Re-Revision Surgery. If infection was one of the causes, or the sole cause, for a Covered Re-Revision Surgery, then the EC will be eligible to receive compensation for infection under this Section 3.6.6, but will not be eligible to receive an EIF Option award under Section 3.6.3 (Covered Re-Revision Surgery).

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

3.6.7 Extended Trochanteric Osteotomy.

(a) Eligibility. An EC who as part of a Qualified Revision Surgery or Covered Re-Revision Surgery underwent an extended trochanteric osteotomy to remove the femoral stem, and required the placement of cerclage wiring as part of that procedure, will be entitled to an EIF Option award under this Section.

4. PROOF OF CLAIM.

4.1 As part of each Individual Settlement, Eligible Claimants have provided or will be required to provide, by January 31, 2017, proof of each Eligible Claim, including, but not limited to:

4.1.1 A fully completed Preliminary Disclosure Form, as required under case management orders in the MDL and JCCP, or per the terms of an applicable court-approved tolling agreement. If a Preliminary Disclosure Form was provided prior to an EC undergoing a revision surgery, then the EC will provide an updated Preliminary Disclosure Form with the complete information for the revision surgery.

4.1.2 If not already provided with the Preliminary Disclosure Form or a Plaintiff Fact Sheet, EC will provide specific and discreet: 1) product identification sticker sheets or similar medical records from the EC’s original implant surgery medical records, or information derived from the explanted, revised components thereof, that specifically identify, at a minimum, the cup and head products, by product and lot numbers, that satisfy settlement eligibility requirements; and 2) operative reports from the original and revision surgeries. To be clear, ECs must submit only the specific medical records identified to demonstrate the information that establishes eligibility. Submissions of entire sets of medical records, or submissions that require Wright Medical or Plaintiffs’ Counsel to locate the required information, are deficient and will be rejected. The Eligible Claims list will identify those claimants who have not yet provided the information required under this Section 4.1.2 to qualify for a Standard Settlement. Only in the event that the medical records specified in this Section have been destroyed or are otherwise no longer available, other records sufficient, in the sole discretion of Wright Medical, exercised in good faith, to identify the products, and the original and revision surgeries, will be accepted as proof that a claim is an Eligible Claim. In the event that there is an impasse as to the sufficiency of the documents required by this section, the SOC and counsel for Wright Medical will meet and confer in an effort to resolve the issue.

4.1.3 Unless in the sole discretion of Wright Medical, exercised in good faith, strict compliance is expressly waived as to any Individual Settlement, no

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

payments will be made under Individual Settlements if any documentation set forth in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 is either deficient or not provided to Wright Medical. In the event that there is an impasse as to the sufficiency of the documents required by Sections 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, the SOC and counsel for Wright Medical will meet and confer in an effort to resolve the issue.

4.2 EIF Option Claim - In the event that an EC elects the EIF Option, evidence sufficient to demonstrate entitlement to an EIF Option award is described in Section 3.4. Such information must be uploaded to the Claims Administrator’s web portal per instructions from Plaintiffs’ Counsel by no later than May 2, 2017.

5. SETTLEMENT ACCEPTANCE REQUIREMENT AND OPT-OUTS

5.1 This Settlement Agreement may be terminated, without penalty and in the sole discretion of Wright Medical (“Walk Away Rights”), if claimants holding greater than five percent (5%) of the Eligible Claims in the Final Settlement Pool elect to Opt-Out of the settlement (the “95% Acceptance Requirement”).

5.2 If the 95% Acceptance Requirement is not met, Wright Medical, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive the 95% Acceptance Requirement and proceed with the settlement with less than 95% acceptance, and enforce all Individual Settlements accepted pursuant to this Settlement Agreement, rather than terminate the entire Settlement Agreement.

5.3 The 95% Acceptance Requirement is to be calculated by counting only the Eligible Claims for which Wright Medical has received 1) an election to participate, 2) all required documentation under Section 4.1.2, and 3) all required documentation under Section 8 (Documents Required For Individual Settlements).

5.4 Claimants with Eligible Claims must elect to participate in this settlement on or before January 31, 2017. Wright Medical’s Walk Away Rights will be exercised by written notice to Plaintiffs’ Counsel, served on or before March 3, 2017, provided that Plaintiffs’ Counsel has delivered the 95% Acceptance Report described below.

5.4.1 On or before February 3, 2017, Plaintiffs’ Counsel will provide notice to Wright Medical when Plaintiffs’ Counsel believes that the 95% Acceptance Requirement has been satisfied. Such notice (the “95% Acceptance Report”) will include a then-current Acceptance Report, as described in Section 9.1. Plaintiffs’ Counsel will provide a Funding Request Report as described in Section 10.7 by no later than February 6, 2017.

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

5.4.2 By March 3, 2017, Wright Medical will provide notice to Plaintiffs’ Counsel of whether it agrees that the 95% Acceptance Requirement has been met.

(a) If Wright Medical asserts that the 95% Acceptance Requirement has not been met, or that it is unable to confirm that the 95% Acceptance Requirement has been met, then Wright Medical’s notice will include a full explanation of why Wright Medical believes that the 95% Acceptance Requirement has not been met, or why Wright Medical is unable to confirm that the 95% Acceptance Requirement has been met, and Wright Medical may exercise its Walk Away Rights.

(b) If Wright Medical agrees that the 95% Acceptance Requirement has been met, or if Wright Medical waives the 95% Acceptance Requirement pursuant to Section 5.2, then funding of Individual Settlements will proceed under Section 10.

5.5 Should Wright Medical exercise its Walk Away Rights, then 1) this Settlement Agreement will be terminated and void, and the Parties and Eligible Claimants will return to their respective positions held prior to the Settlement Agreement, with all releases and dismissal stipulations deemed void, and either returned to Plaintiffs’ Counsel or destroyed, and 2) all funds held in escrow pursuant to Section 10 below will be returned in full to Wright Medical.

5.6 The Eligible Claim of any claimant who elects not to accept an Individual Settlement will be deemed an “Opt-Out Claim.” Regardless of the actual percentage of Opt-Out Claims, Wright Medical’s payments under this Settlement Agreement will be reduced with respect to each Opt-Out Claim in the manner and amounts set forth in the Term Sheet, incorporated herein by reference.

5.7 Under no circumstances will settlement funds allocated to an Opt-Out Claim be redistributed, assigned, or otherwise paid, in whole or part, to settle any other Eligible Claim, including but not limited to funding any portion of the EIF Award Pool, but rather will reduce Wright Medical’s total settlement payments.

6. COMMON BENEFIT FUND ASSESSMENTS

6.1 By accepting an Individual Settlement under this Settlement Agreement, all claimants and counsel for claimants with Eligible Claims, regardless of whether their claim is pending in the MDL, JCCP or under a tolling agreement, agree to abide by MDL Case Management Order No. 4, Common Benefit Assessment Order (“CMO 4”), and all provisions of this Section 6. The assessments under CMO 4, inter alia, will in part be used to fund the administration of Individual

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

Settlements, which administration will be at the sole cost and expense of claimants’ counsel and Plaintiffs’ Counsel.

6.2 All claimants and counsel for claimants with Eligible Claims consent to the holdback by Wright Medical of 3.5% for attorneys’ fees and 3.5% for expenses (for a total of 7%) from each total settlement amount under each Individual Settlement, pursuant to CMO 4 (the “Common Benefit Assessments”). Wright Medical will pay each holdback for Common Benefit expenses directly into the Common Benefit Expense Funds account, and each holdback for Common Benefit attorneys’ fees directly into the Common Benefit Legal Fees Funds account, with both accounts to be established by Plaintiffs’ Counsel (the “Common Benefit Fund Accounts”), as credits against the applicable Individual Settlement. For the avoidance of doubt, Wright Medical’s obligation to fund Common Benefit Assessments will not be an additional payment obligation of Wright Medical, but rather will be credited against Wright Medical’s settlement payment obligation and subtracted from the amount otherwise due each claimant from Wright Medical.

6.3 No Common Benefit Assessment will be imposed until all requirements for an Individual Settlement have been satisfied, including: 1) to the extent not previously provided, delivery to Wright Medical of the required documents pursuant to Section 4.1.2; 2) delivery to Wright Medical of documentation from the Lien Resolution Administrator, identified below, that confirms the final negotiated amount of all liens or the appropriate holdback amounts for all liens, pursuant to Section 7 below; and 3) delivery to Wright Medical of a Release and Dismissal pursuant to Section 8 below. As to ECs who elect the EIF Option, no Common Benefit Assessment will be imposed until any and all appeals from all ECs have been resolved, pursuant to Section 3.4.4 (c), at which time all EIF Option awards will be final.

6.4 All claimants and counsel for claimants with Eligible Claims agree to (1) comply with any Orders entered by the Court in the MDL in the furtherance of CMO 4, and (2) consent to the jurisdiction of the Court in the MDL for that purpose.

7. LIENS.

7.1 Any and all liens related to each Eligible Claim will be identified and satisfied as set forth below.

7.1.1 Any and all health insurance plan lien resolutions will be processed and supervised exclusively by Providio Lien Counsel, LLC (the “Lien Resolution Administrator” or “LRA”), at the sole expense of Eligible Claimants or their counsel.

7.1.2 Each Eligible Claimant who receives a payment pursuant to an Individual Settlement under this Settlement Agreement, agrees to pay or have paid

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

any liens held by, or amounts owed to, third parties, including any state or federal government entities, as well as any known subrogated interest asserted by a bona fide healthcare provider or insurer arising out of, or related to, each claimant’s alleged Wright Medical product related injury. For the avoidance of doubt, Wright Medical will have no obligation to pay or satisfy any such liens, which shall be the sole responsibility of the Eligible Claimant.

7.1.3 Each Eligible Claimant must by December 16, 2016, provide HIPAA releases and a Medicare Proof of Representation form to LRA (via submission to the electronic portal established by Claims Administrator) to facilitate lien identification and resolution; provided, however, that if the MDL court issues a qualified protective order on or before December 16, 2016 authorizing the LRA to identify, process and finalize liens on each EC’s behalf then such individual HIPAA and Medicare Proof of Representation submissions shall not be needed. Each Eligible Claimant will identify to LRA all group health plans s/he had at the time of injury through the Effective Date of this Settlement Agreement (via submission to the electronic portal established by Claims Administrator as described in section 3.2.4 above). Plaintiffs’ Counsel will direct LRA to proactively verify entitlement with Medicare (Parts A & B) and Medicaid for all Eligible Claimants, and will combine those results with the group health plan information submitted by each Eligible Claimant, to investigate and negotiate any applicable liens on each Eligible Claimant’s behalf. As part of its investigation and negotiation of liens, LRA will comply with and/or seek extensions of any reporting requirements that may be required by any lien holder on behalf of both Eligible Claimants and Wright Medical. As a precondition to funding of any portion of an Individual Settlement, Plaintiffs’ Counsel will cause LRA to deliver in writing to Wright Medical final lien clearance information within each Funding Request Report (as defined in Section 10.7), detailing the final negotiated lien amount (including a lien amount pursuant to pre-negotiated lien resolution programs, if applicable) or the appropriate full lien holdback amounts for all liens for each Eligible Claimant included on the respective Funding Request Report. When LRA reports a final negotiated lien amount, or the appropriate full lien holdback amounts for all liens, the balance (i.e., the non-lien holdback amount) will be eligible for disbursement pursuant to the funding steps described in Section 10 below. LRA will submit further clearance information for the lien holdback amount in a future Funding Request Report when the applicable liens have been finally negotiated.

7.1.4 Plaintiffs’ Counsel will cause LRA to provide to Wright Medical a written confirmation certifying that all liens related to each claimant's injuries

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

and/or treatment have been finally and fully satisfied, accompanied by a certifying report from the LRA that evidences the satisfaction of said liens.

7.1.5 Plaintiffs’ Counsel will require and cause the LRA to provide complete indemnity and defense of Wright Medical and Plaintiffs’ Counsel against all liens related to each claimant's injuries and/or treatment that are or may be asserted against settlement proceeds of each Individual Settlement.

7.1.6 This Settlement Agreement does not alter, expand or relieve any notice obligations relating to any liens that any claimant or their counsel has by law or by contract. Likewise, this Settlement Agreement does not establish a right to a lien where none exists.

8. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR INDIVIDUAL SETTLEMENTS.

8.1 Attached hereto as Exhibit A is the form individual settlement agreement and release (“Release”) that will be used to document settlements with each individual claimant under an Individual Settlement.

8.1.1 The Release will be executed by the claimant, and any spouse and legal representative of any claimant or claimant’s estate, as applicable. If a claimant is divorced, separated or estranged from his/her spouse, the claimant will provide indemnity in a form agreed by the Parties.

8.1.2 The Release in any Individual Settlement may contain added state-specific provisions determined to be necessary by Wright Medical.

8.1.3 The form Release will not be altered, edited, amended, or in any way changed by a claimant or their counsel, except by the express written agreement of Wright Medical.

8.2 Attached hereto as Exhibit B is the form of litigation dismissal, with prejudice, to be used to dismiss pending litigation, with prejudice and all costs to be borne by the incurring party (a “Dismissal”).

9. TRACKING OF SETTLEMENT PROGRESS.

9.1 Plaintiffs’ Counsel will, on both the 15^th and last day of each month, beginning after execution of this Settlement Agreement by all Parties, provide to Wright Medical a report, in Excel electronic format, that contains an identification, to the date of the report, of all claimants, and their Eligible Claims, who have agreed to accept an Individual Settlement (each an “Acceptance Report”). A printed form of the Acceptance Report is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

9.2.1 Each Acceptance Report will:

9.2.2 Plaintiffs’ Counsel will deliver to Wright Medical with each Acceptance Report, all final negotiated lien documentation, pursuant to Section 7.1, and all fully executed Releases and Dismissals, pursuant to Section 8.1, received since the last produced Acceptance Report.

9.2 Plaintiffs’ Counsel will, on both the 15^th and last day of each month, also provide to Wright Medical a separate report, in Excel electronic format, that contains an identification, to the date of the report, of all known Opt-Out Claims (the “Opt-Out Report”). A printed form of the Opt-Out Report is attached hereto as Exhibit D.

9.2.1 Each Opt-Out Report will:

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

(a) Identify the name of the claimant;

(b) Identify the Eligible Claim that is an Opt-Out Claim;

(c) State the amount of reduction attributable to the Opt-Out Claim, pursuant to Section 5.6;

(d) State the then-current sum of all reductions pursuant to Section 5.6; and

(e) State a calculation of the then-current total number of Opt-Out Claims as a percentage of all Eligible Claims.

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

9.3 Cumulative Acceptance Reports and Opt-Out Reports will continue to be prepared, by adding onto the immediately prior report, until all Eligible Claims appear on either an Acceptance Report or an Opt-Out Report.

10. FUNDING OF SETTLEMENT.

10.1 Within thirty (30) calendar days of the full execution of this Settlement Agreement, Wright Medical will deposit or cause to be deposited into an escrow account (the “Escrow Settlement Fund”), One Hundred And Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000.00), provided however that under no circumstance will this escrow deposit be made by Wright Medical until an escrow agreement mutually agreeable to the Parties which sets forth the details of the escrow account (the “Settlement Escrow Agreement”) has been fully executed.Wright Medical further represents and warrants that it will have sufficient access to operating funds, over and above the maximum settlement balance of $90 Million, to fund continuing operations.

10.2 Concurrent with the execution of the Settlement Escrow Agreement, an escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”) will be appointed by mutual agreement between Plaintiffs’ Counsel and Wright Medical.  Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall be solely and exclusively liable for the payment, on a current basis, of all fees and expenses (the “Escrow Fees and Expenses”) due and payable to the Escrow Agent under the Settlement Escrow Agreement.  Plaintiffs’ Counsel will obtain approval from the MDL Court, pursuant to CMO 4, for payment of Escrow Fees and Expenses from the Common Benefit Fund.

10.3 At the end of each month, the Escrow Agent will submit to Wright Medical, the SOC and the Claims Administrator a report, in such form and in such detail as Wright Medical reasonably may specify (each an “Escrow Settlement Fund Report”) itemizing and certifying all payments or transfers during the preceding month and the balance remaining in the Escrow Settlement Fund.

10.4 All funding of Individual Settlements pursuant to this Section 10 will be funded first from the Escrow Settlement Fund, and then, once all funds held in the Escrow Settlement Fund have been dispersed, by Wright Medical.

10.5 No funding of any Individual Settlement, or any part thereof, by Wright Medical or the Escrow Agent will occur until the 95% Acceptance Requirement has been satisfied or waived by Wright Medical, a fully executed Release and Dismissal have been delivered to Wright Medical pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 9.1.2, and lien amounts have been confirmed by the LRA in writing to Wright Medical pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 9.1.2.

10.6 Plaintiffs’ Counsel will create and seek to obtain an order from the Court in the MDL designating one or more interest-bearing qualified settlement fund accounts (“QSFA”s) within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-1, to receive payments

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

from Wright Medical or the Escrow Settlement Fund pursuant to Individual Settlements.

10.7 Procedures for Funding Requests and Payments: Amounts of funding at each step below will be requested by itemization in a “Funding Request Report” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, provided to Wright Medical by Plaintiffs’ Counsel. A Funding Request Report will identify Eligible Claims that have satisfied requirements for payment of any or all of 1) final negotiated lien amounts, and/or appropriate full lien holdback amounts for all liens, 2) Common Benefit Assessments, or 3) the balance of an Individual Settlement (each a “Payment Item”).

(a) Objections to Funding Request Reports: If Wright Medical, in good faith, objects to the accuracy of any Payment Item in any Funding Request Report, that Payment Item will be deemed removed from the Funding Request Report. Payment Items removed from any Funding Request Report may be placed on a subsequent Funding Request Report, as discussed below; however, under no circumstances will a Payment Item be placed on more than one open and pending Funding Request Report.

(b) The first Funding Request Report will be provided to Wright Medical by February 6, 2017.

(c) Subsequent Funding Request Reports: On both the 15th and last day of each month, beginning March 31, 2017, the Claims Administrator will deliver to Wright Medical a Funding Request Report that identifies all new Payment Items that have not already appeared on a prior Funding Request Report, and Payment Items removed from any prior Funding Request Report, that are then ready for payment.

(d) Funding to QSFAs and Common Benefit Fund: Within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of each Funding Request Report (other than the first Funding Report which is separately addressed below) Wright Medical will instruct the Escrow Agent to transfer funds into a QSFA designated by Plaintiffs’ Counsel or the Common Benefit Fund Accounts, as applicable, the sum total of all Payment Item amounts listed in the Funding Request Report, minus any removed Payment Items. In the event that no balance remains in the Escrow Settlement Fund, Wright Medical will directly fund amounts due into the QSFA designated by Plaintiffs’ Counsel or the Common Benefit Fund Accounts, as applicable.

(e) Payment Report: After each payment is made by the Escrow Agent or Wright Medical in response to a Funding Request Report,

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

the Escrow Agent will provide to Wright Medical, Plaintiffs’ Counsel and the Claims Administrator, or Wright Medical will provide to Plaintiffs’ Counsel and the Claims Administrator where Wright Medical makes a payment directly, a report (a “Payment Report”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, that will itemize the Escrow Agent’s or Wright Medical’s payments by specific Eligible Claim and Payment Item, and thereby itemize credits against the total settlement amount of each Individual Settlement. Each Payment Report will also identify Payment Items removed from the corresponding Funding Request Report.

(f) Plaintiffs’ Counsel will be solely responsible for authorizing and arranging disbursements from any QSFA, and the Common Benefit Fund Accounts in compliance with MDL CMO 4. Any disbursement will be made only for the specific amount and purpose of each Payment Item, identified in a Payment Report. Under no circumstances will payments be disbursed, used, or credited other than as set forth in a Payment Report.

10.8 Timing Of Funding: Individual Settlements will be funded pursuant to, and in the order of, the following steps:

10.8.1 By January 31, 2017, all Eligible Claimants that elect to participate must have uploaded to the Claims Administrator’s electronic portal (1) a Claim Election Form, (2) the documents required by Sections 4.1 and 8, and (3) all health insurance provider information and HIPAA/Proof of Representation Releases (as applicable) for purposes of lien resolution pursuant to Section 7. By February 3, 2017, Plaintiffs’ Counsel will provide to Wright Medical a 95% Acceptance Report. By February 6, 2017, Plaintiff’s Counsel will provide to Wright Medical a first Funding Request Report,

10.8.2 By March 3, 2017, Wright Medical will either 1) confirm that the 95% Acceptance Requirement has been met or waive the 95% Acceptance Requirement, in which case funding will proceed pursuant to the steps below, or 2) terminate the entire Settlement Agreement as provided in Section 5.

10.8.3 By March 10, 2017, Wright Medical will instruct the Escrow Agent to transfer from the Escrow Settlement Account into a QSFA designated by Plaintiffs’ Counsel or the Common Benefit Fund Accounts, as applicable, the sum total of all Payment Item amounts listed in the first Funding Request Report, minus any removed Payment Items.

10.8.4 By March 24, 2017, the Claims Administrator, through the electronic portal, will notify counsel for Eligible Claimants of the amount of each

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

Eligible Claimant’s Individual Settlement, in accordance with the first Payment Report, including amounts paid as Common Benefit Assessments, and amounts withheld for final lien resolutions and/or appropriate full lien holdback amounts for all liens. Thereafter, on a rolling basis, the Claims Administrator will notify counsel for Eligible Claimants of the funding of Individual Settlements as subsequent Payment Reports are issued.

10.8.5 On March 31, 2017, the Claims Administrator will issue payments of Individual Settlements to Eligible Claimants’ counsel in accordance with the first Payment Report. For all subsequent Payment Reports, the Claims Administrator will issue payments of individual settlements to Eligible Claimants’ counsel on the 15th day of each month in accordance with the applicable Payment Report; provided, however, that if the 15th day of a given month is a Saturday, Sunday or Monday, the disbursement will be the following Tuesday.

10.8.6 On or before May 1, 2017, those Eligible Claimants who elected to participate in the EIF Option must upload their supporting documents (see Section 3.4) to the Claims Administrator’s electronic portal.

(a) Bilateral Priority Payment: On July 18, 2017, a single priority payment will be made by the Claims Administrator to any EC asserting claims based on revisions of both bilateral hip implants pursuant to Section 3.5.2, in the amount of $170,000.00 for a CONSERVE® Claim and $120,000.00 for a DYNASTY® or LINEAGE® Claim (a “Bilateral Priority Payment”). To the extent not already withheld from a Standard Settlement Payment, lien holdback amounts will be withheld from the Bilateral Priority Payment pursuant to Section 7. To be clear, a Bilateral Priority Payment is 1) only for ECs who underwent revisions of both bilateral hip implants, and 2) only one Bilateral Priority Payment will be made even if an EC elects the EIF Option for both hips.

(b) To fund the Bilateral Priority Payments, Plaintiffs’ Counsel will provide a Funding Request Report to Wright Medical that specifically identifies all and only such priority payments (“Bilateral Funding Request Report”) by June 6, 2017. By July 7, 2017, Wright Medical will instruct the Escrow Agent to transfer, or will itself deposit, into a QSFA designated by Plaintiffs’ Counsel the sum total of all Bilateral Priority Payments listed in the Bilateral Funding Request Report.

10.8.7 On or before July 31, 2017, the Claims Administrator will complete its review and issue determination reports on all EIF Option claims. Eligible Claimants will have thirty (30) calendar days from the issuance of their

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

individual determination report to either accept or appeal the determination of the Claims Administrator, pursuant to Section 3.3.4(c). If the Eligible Claimant does not appeal the Claims Administrator’s determination, it will be deemed accepted by the Eligible Claimant.

10.8.8 Other than asset forth for Bilateral Priority Payments, no funding by Wright Medical of any EIF Option award will take place until rulings on all appeals have been issued pursuant to Section 3.3.4 (c), at which time funding and payment of EIF Option awards will be made pursuant to the procedures in Section 10.7 above.

10.9 Return of Escrow Funds: Any and all funds that remain in the Escrow Settlement Fund following full funding of all Individual Settlements will be returned to Wright Medical.

10.10 Dismissals: Upon payment by or on behalf of Wright Medical of the full amount of any Individual Settlement into a QSFA and the Common Benefit Fund Account, the Dismissal pursuant to Section 8.2 will be filed by Wright Medical.

10.11 Guaranty of Wright Medical Group, N.V. In partial consideration for this Settlement Agreement, Wright Medical Group, N.V. (“Guarantor”) has executed and delivered a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) that provides, subject to the express provisions of the Guaranty and the full enforcement by the MDL Court, for the monetary performance of Wright Medical under this Settlement Agreement. The Guaranty is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth in this Settlement Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties to this Settlement Agreement stipulate, agree, and acknowledge that Guarantor is providing the Guaranty solely as an accommodation to its independent affiliate, Wright Medical, and that nothing contained in this Settlement Agreement shall be deemed or admissible in any way to contradict the distinct corporate identities as and between Guarantor and Wright Medical.

10.12 No Eligible Claimant is entitled to seek payment under an Individual Settlement in any manner, or under any timing, other than as set forth in this Settlement Agreement.

10.13 Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall have sole and exclusive authority to enforce this Settlement Agreement and the Guaranty. No Eligible Claimant may bring any lawsuit, claim or other adversarial proceeding of any type to enforce the terms and conditions of this Settlement Agreement against Wright Medical or, in the case of the Guaranty, against Guarantor (an “EC Adversary Proceeding,” and, collectively, “EC Adversary Proceedings”). By filing a Claim Election Form, each Eligible Claimant will be deemed expressly to have waived any and all right or ability to bring or pursue, except through Plaintiffs’ Counsel, any and all EC Adversary Proceedings against Wright Medical and, in the case of the Guaranty, Adversary Proceedings against Guarantor, including any EC Adversary

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

Proceedings based upon the failure by another person or entity (including, but not limited to, the Escrow Agent, the Claims Administrator, the LRA, any entity establishing or holding a QSFA, Plaintiffs’ Counsel or Eligible Claimant’s counsel) to pay funds or take any other action required under this Settlement Agreement or the Guaranty. This does not restrict an Eligible Claimant’s rights to enforce his or her own Full and Final Confidential Individual Release and Settlement Agreement.

11. RISK OF LOSS.

11.1 All risk of loss, for any reason and from any cause whatsoever, except as to the Escrow Agent and Escrow Settlement Fund, as specified in Section 11.2 of this Settlement Agreement, relating to the handling, investment, administration, or disposition of funds deposited and/or paid by Wright Medical pursuant to this Settlement Agreement lies exclusively with Plaintiffs’ Counsel and each Eligible Claimant. Except as specified in Section 11.2, Wright Medical will under no circumstance be liable to pay additional sums under this Settlement Agreement due to any action, inaction, or default by another person or entity (including but not limited to the Claims Administrator, the LRA, any entity establishing or holding a QSFA, Plaintiffs’ Counsel or Eligible Claimant’s counsel).

11.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wright Medical shall bear any risk of loss accruing to the Escrow Settlement Fund due to any action, inaction, or default by the Escrow Agent or any insolvency or other financial incapacity of the Escrow Agent.

12. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLIC STATEMENT.

12.1 Claimants, claimants’ counsel, Plaintiffs’ Counsel, and Wright Medical understand, acknowledge, and agree that the terms and conditions of this Settlement Agreement, and any Individual Settlement under this Settlement Agreement, including amounts to be paid, history, background and related negotiations, are to be kept strictly confidential, and are not to be disclosed by claimants, claimants’ counsel, Plaintiffs’ Counsel or Wright Medical, except as required by law, or as hereinafter set forth or as set forth in a Release, to any person, firm, association, corporation or entity at any time, including, but not limited to, legal trade journals, reporting services, the press or media, and/or on any posting on the Internet.

12.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, claimants, claimants’ counsel, Plaintiffs’ Counsel, and Wright Medical may provide this Settlement Agreement, and/or information concerning the nature, negotiations, amount and terms of this Settlement Agreement and/or any Individual Settlement to the following persons or for the following purposes: a) accountants, tax, legal or financial advisors; b) parent companies, affiliates or subsidiaries; c) insurers, retrocessionaires, or reinsurers; d) as absolutely necessary to resolve any outstanding liens; e) when required by

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

law or by a court Order, or as required by the SEC or other regulatory authority; or e) in connection with any legal proceeding to enforce the terms of this Settlement Agreement or any Individual Settlement, or seeking redress for any breach thereof. When providing confidential information, the providing person or entity will advise the receiving person or entity that the information being shared is to be kept confidential, and further will seek to file the information under seal where applicable. Claimants and their counsel understand and agree that the substance of any required regulatory or other governmental or accounting disclosure is within the exclusive control of Wright Medical and Wright Medical Group N.V.

12.3 If claimants, claimants’ counsel, or Plaintiffs’ Counsel receive notice of any proceeding in which a court, party, or other entity or person seeks to require the disclosure of this Settlement Agreement, or any matter covered by this Settlement Agreement, or any Individual Settlement, immediate notice will be given to Wright Medical. If any court or other legal entity orders or is requested to order the disclosure of the amount, terms, conditions, history, or background of this Settlement Agreement, or of any Individual Settlement, then claimants’ counsel and Plaintiffs’ Counsel agree to join and support any motion for a Protective Order by Wright Medical seeking to protect the confidentiality of these matters.

12.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may make public statements summarizing this Settlement Agreement. The Parties will coordinate the substance and timing of any such public statement(s), provided however that the timing and substance of any required regulatory or other governmental or accounting disclosure is within the exclusive control of Wright Medical. In the event that Wright Medical determines that any required regulatory or other governmental or accounting disclosure must be made prior to the time agreed by the Parties for coordinated public statements summarizing this Settlement Agreement, Wright Medical will notify Plaintiffs’ Counsel to enable the Parties to issue contemporaneous public statements summarizing this Settlement Agreement, as intended by this Section.

12.5 Wright Medical and the SOC shall be entitled to review all proof of claim documents, Claim Election Forms, EIF Option submissions, and all other documents submitted by any EC in connection with this Settlement Agreement (including all exhibits and attachments thereto), and all related materials. The representatives of Wright Medical and the SOC shall, at any time, be afforded complete access to and permitted to inspect all of the records or other documentation submitted in connection with each Eligible Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, by accepting an Individual Settlement under this Settlement Agreement, each EC consents to granting access to Wright Medical, the SOC, the Special Master and Claims Administrator, and each of their respective representatives, to the documents that s/he executes and submits as part of the required submissions, including personal information, medical records and lien

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

information for use in connection with this Settlement Agreement. While Wright Medical and the SOC have the right to access this data, neither shall have a role in the day-to-day operation of the claims administration process, nor shall their rights in this regard permit the interference with the operations of the claims administration process.

13. MISCELLANEOUS

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

13.2 No Admissibility Or Admission: This Settlement Agreement and the Individual Settlements contemplated hereunder are not evidence that any claim alleged by any claimant has merit, nor does it constitute an admission of any wrongdoing or liability by any entity.

13.3 Authority To Bind: The undersigned Plaintiffs’ Counsel represent that they have authority to negotiate and enter into this Settlement Agreement, on behalf of all claimants with Eligible Claims.

13.4 Inadmissibility of Settlement Agreement: Neither this Settlement Agreement, nor any Individual Settlement, will be admissible or offered as evidence in any proceeding of any type, except in an action to enforce the terms of this Settlement Agreement or an Individual Settlement, and in such instance will be submitted under seal and pursuant to the greatest confidentiality protections possible.

13.5 Fees and Costs: Each side shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs under this Settlement Agreement and any Individual Settlement. Neither Wright Medical nor any other released party shall have any responsibility whatsoever for the payment of a claimant’s attorneys’ fees or costs, beyond the withholding and funding of Common Benefit Assessments as set forth in Sections 6.

13.6 Governing Law and Jurisdiction: This Settlement Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Georgia, without regard to any choice-of-law rules that would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The Parties agree to submit all disputes arising hereunder to the jurisdiction of the Hon. William S. Duffey in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, multi-district litigation No. 12-2329.

13.7 Construction: This Settlement Agreement, including all exhibits, is the product of arm’s length negotiations between counsel and/or Parties represented by counsel. No Party shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Settlement Agreement or its exhibits, or any specific provisions hereof. No presumption shall be deemed to exist in favor of or against any Party as a result of the preparation of this Settlement Agreement or its exhibits.

13.8 Survival of Indemnifications. The provisions of this Settlement Agreement and each Release provided hereunder providing indemnification or releases from liability shall survive the modification, termination and full performance of this Settlement Agreement.

13.9 Entire Agreement: This Settlement Agreement, including all exhibits and the Term Sheet and Guaranty incorporated by reference, contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and cancels all previous agreements, negotiations, and commitments, whether in writing or otherwise. Claimants, their counsel and Plaintiffs’ Counsel agree that

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

they have neither received nor relied on any other agreements or promises, other than as contained in this Settlement Agreement.

13.12.1 To be clear, the Term Sheet is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and to the extent any inconsistency or lack of clarity exists in this Settlement Agreement, the provisions of the Term Sheet will control. The Term Sheet will be filed with the court, under seal, in any dispute submitted for resolution by the MDL Court under Section 13.6.

13.10 Amendments: This Settlement Agreement may be amended by (and only by) a writing signed on behalf of Wright Medical, on the one hand, and Plaintiffs’ Counsel, on the other hand.

13.11 Waiver of Inconsistent Provisions of Law; Severability:

13.12.1 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Party, each EC and his/her attorney waives any provision of law (including the common law), which renders any provision of this Settlement Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect.

13.12.2 In case any provision contained in this Settlement Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Settlement Agreement, but this Settlement Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein, but only to the extent it is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable; provided, however, that if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision materially changes the equities or overall intent of the Parties, including but not limited to the scope of any release, indemnity or other right or protection, then the Settlement Agreement will be voided in its entirety. Any dispute regarding the materiality of any provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable will be submitted to the MDL Court, pursuant to Section 13.6.

13.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries; Assignment:

13.12.1 No provision of this Settlement Agreement or any exhibit thereto is intended to create any third-party beneficiary to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 13.12 limits or modifies the third-party beneficiary provisions of any Claim Election Form, Release or Dismissal. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Settlement Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder may be assigned, at any time, including but not limited to prior to the execution of this Settlement Agreement, by any

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

EC or attorney for any EC, without the prior written consent of Wright Medical. No settlement payment pursuant to this Settlement Agreement may be assigned, at any time, by any EC or his/her attorney without the prior written consent of Wright Medical. Any assignment in violation of this Section 13.12.1 shall be null and void ab initio, and if such assignment is not null and void ab initio for any reason, payment under any Individual Settlement is precluded until such time as the assignments in violation of this Section 13.12.1 have been nullified and voided, and the Claims Administrator has been provided proof of such nullification.

13.12.2 No EC shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, against Wright Medical, the SOC, the Special Master, or any Claims Administrator to enforce or otherwise take any action under this Settlement Agreement.

SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATION PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

13.13 Tax Matters: The Parties agree to characterize the Escrow Settlement Fund for federal, state and local income tax purposes in such manner as is reasonably determined by Wright Medical. The Escrow Agent, the SOC, and Wright Medical shall timely provide each other with such material and relevant information as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party in connection with any tax filing or the payment of any taxes or any private letter ruling regarding the tax status of these escrow funds. Within a reasonable time after the execution of this Settlement Agreement, the SOC will seek an order from the MDL Court indicating that further escrow accounts that may be established pursuant to this Settlement Agreement are qualified settlement fund accounts within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-1. To the extent any settlement award constitutes a tax liability of the EC, it is the EC’s responsibility to pay such tax.

13.14 Further Assurances: Following the execution of this Settlement Agreement, (i) each Party will take reasonable actions consistent with the terms of this Settlement Agreement as may reasonably be requested by the other Party, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the other Party in a manner consistent with the terms of this Settlement Agreement, and (ii) each EC and their attorney shall take such reasonable actions consistent with the terms of this Settlement Agreement as may reasonably be requested by Wright Medical or the SOC, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Wright Medical and the SOC in a manner consistent with the terms of this Settlement Agreement as necessary in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Settlement Agreement.

13.15 Facsimile Signatures: This Settlement Agreement, and any future amendments hereto, may be signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic scan (including in the form of an Adobe Acrobat PDF file format), and in such case shall be treated in all respects as an original document.

13.16 Counterparts: This Settlement Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary for any counterpart to bear the signature of all Parties hereto.

Organization and Description of Business [Abstract]

Organization and Description of Business

Organization and Description of Business

Wright Medical Group N.V. (Wright or we) is a global medical device company focused on extremities and biologics products. We are committed to delivering innovative, value-added solutions improving quality of life for patients worldwide and are a recognized leader of surgical solutions for the upper extremities (shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand), lower extremities (foot and ankle) and biologics markets, three of the fastest growing segments in orthopaedics. We market our products in over 50 countries worldwide.

Our global corporate headquarters are located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We also have significant operations located in Memphis, Tennessee (U.S. headquarters, research and development, sales and marketing administration, and administrative activities); Bloomington, Minnesota (upper extremities sales and marketing); Arlington, Tennessee (manufacturing and warehousing operations); Grenoble, France (manufacturing and research and development); and Macroom, Ireland (manufacturing). In addition, we have local sales and distribution offices in Canada, Australia, Asia, and throughout Europe. For purposes of this report, references to "international" or "foreign" relate to non-U.S. matters while references to "domestic" relate to U.S. matters.

Upon completion of the merger between Wright Medical Group, Inc. (legacy Wright or WMG) and Tornier N.V. (legacy Tornier) (the Wright/Tornier merger or merger) effective October 1, 2015, Robert J. Palmisano, former President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of legacy Wright, became President and CEO of the combined company, and Lance A. Berry, former Senior Vice President (SVP) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of legacy Wright, became SVP and CFO. Immediately upon completion of the merger, legacy Wright shareholders owned approximately 52% of the combined company and legacy Tornier shareholders owned approximately 48% of the combined company, and our board of directors was comprised of five representatives from legacy Wright’s board of directors and five representatives from legacy Tornier’s board of directors. In connection with the merger, the trading symbol for our ordinary shares changed from “TRNX” to “WMGI.” Because of these and other facts and circumstances, the merger was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP), and as such, legacy Wright was considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. Therefore, legacy Wright’s historical results of operations replaced legacy Tornier’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger. More specifically, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the merger are those of legacy Wright and its subsidiaries, and for periods subsequent to the merger also include legacy Tornier and its subsidiaries.

Our fiscal year runs from the first Monday after the last Sunday of December of a year and ends on the last Sunday of December of the following year, and generally consists of four 13-week quarters. Prior to the merger, our fiscal year ended December 31 each year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes present our consolidated results for each of the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

All amounts are presented in U.S. dollars ($), except where expressly stated as being in other currencies, e.g., Euros (€).

References in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements to "we," "our" and "us" refer to Wright Medical Group N.V. and its subsidiaries after the Wright/Tornier merger and Wright Medical Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries before the merger.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Wright Medical Group N.V. have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial statements and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2015, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 23, 2016.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our interim financial results. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not indicative of results for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our domestic and international subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts on the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Discontinued Operations. On October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter, dated as of July 8, 2016, Tornier SAS (Tornier France), Corin Orthopaedics Holdings Limited (Corin), and certain other entities related to Tornier France and Corin entered into a business sale agreement (Sale Agreement) and simultaneously completed and closed the sale of our business operations operating under the large joints operating segment. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, Tornier France sold substantially all of our assets related to our hip and knee, or large joints, business (the Large Joints Business) to Corin for approximately €29.7 million in cash, less approximately €10.6 million for net working capital adjustments and subject to certain other closing adjustments.

All historical operating results for the Large Joints Business are reflected within discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Further, all assets and associated liabilities transferred to Corin were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. See Note 4 for further discussion of discontinued operations. Other than the discontinued operations discussed in Note 4, unless otherwise stated, all discussion of assets and liabilities in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements reflects the assets and liabilities held and used in our continuing operations, and all discussion of revenues and expenses reflects those associated with our continuing operations.

Shipping and Handling Costs. We incur shipping and handling costs associated with the shipment of goods to customers, independent distributors, and our subsidiaries. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling of products are included in net sales. Costs incurred related to shipping and handling of products to customers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts totaled $5.2 million and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, respectively, and $1.9 million and $6.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. All other shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. On May 28, 2014 and August 12, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09 and 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, respectively, which supersede virtually all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The ASU provides a five-step model for revenue recognition that companies will apply to recognize revenue in a manner that reflects the timing of the transfer of services to customers and that the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that a company expects to receive for the goods and services provided. The ASU will be effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2018. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. Further, on August 16, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated With Line-of-Credit Arrangements to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03. The SEC staff has announced that it would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2016 on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, we reclassified debt issuance costs on our December 27, 2015 consolidated balance sheet, which decreased other assets and long-term debt by $16.2 million.

On September 25, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. The ASU, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, was issued in response to stakeholder feedback that restatements of prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination increase the cost and complexity of financial reporting but do not significantly improve the usefulness of the information. Under this ASU, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined and must present these amounts separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. We adopted ASU 2015-16 in the first quarter of 2016 and have recognized adjustments to provisional amounts in the period they were determined as discussed in Note 3.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard (e.g., those related to evaluating when profit can be recognized). Furthermore, the ASU addresses other concerns related to the current leases model. The ASU will be effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2019. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends the guidance in ASC 230 on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of the ASU is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The ASU’s amendments add or clarify guidance on eight cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims. The guidance in the ASU is effective for us beginning in 2018 with early adoption permitted. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

Acquisition and Disposition

Wright/Tornier Merger

On October 1, 2015, we completed the Wright/Tornier merger. Immediately upon completion of the merger, legacy Wright shareholders owned approximately 52% of the combined company and legacy Tornier shareholders owned approximately 48% of the combined company. Effective upon completion of the merger, we have operated under the leadership of the legacy Wright management team and our board of directors was comprised of five representatives from legacy Wright’s board of directors and five representatives from legacy Tornier’s board of directors. Because of these and other facts and circumstances, the merger was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” under US GAAP. As such, legacy Wright was considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes; and therefore, legacy Wright’s historical results of operations replaced legacy Tornier’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger. As part of the merger, each legacy Wright share was converted into the right to receive 1.0309 ordinary shares of the combined company. The Wright/Tornier merger added legacy Tornier’s complementary extremities product portfolio to further accelerate growth opportunities in our global extremities business. The results of operations of both companies are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods after completion of the merger.

The acquired business contributed net sales of $66.9 million and $222.3 million and operating loss of $16.9 million and $26.7 million to our condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, respectively.

Purchase Consideration and Net Assets Acquired

The purchase consideration in a reverse acquisition is determined with reference to the value of equity that the accounting acquirer, legacy Wright, would have had to issue to the owners of the accounting acquiree, legacy Tornier, to give them the same percentage interest in the combined entity. The fair value of WMG common stock used in determining the purchase price was $21.02 per share, the closing price on September 30, 2015, which resulted in a total purchase consideration of $1.034 billion.

The calculation of the purchase consideration is as follows (in thousands):

Fair value of ordinary shares effectively transferred to Tornier shareholders	$	1,005,468
Fair value of ordinary shares effectively transferred to Tornier share award holders	8,091
Fair value of ordinary shares effectively issued to Tornier stock option holders	20,676
Fair value of total consideration	$	1,034,235

The following presents the allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on October 1, 2015 (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	30,117
Accounts receivable	63,797
Inventories	138,659
Other current assets	9,256
Property, plant and equipment, net	122,927
Intangible assets, net	213,600
Deferred income taxes	1,399
Other assets	8,658
Total assets acquired	588,413
Current liabilities	(101,623		)
Long-term debt	(79,554		)
Deferred income taxes	(31,878		)
Other non-current liabilities	(8,434		)
Total liabilities assumed	(221,489		)
Net assets acquired	366,924
Goodwill	667,311
Total purchase consideration	$	1,034,235

We made various changes to the purchase allocation during the measurement period. These changes were recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts were determined in accordance with ASU 2015-16.

During the three months ended March 27, 2016, we revised the opening balances of current liabilities and goodwill acquired as part of the Wright/Tornier merger by $0.6 million.

During the three months ended June 26, 2016, we revised the opening balances of intangible assets, accounts receivable, inventories, current liabilities, and goodwill acquired as part of the Wright/Tornier merger based on new information that existed as of the acquisition date. As a result of the completion of the valuation of acquired intangible assets by our third-party valuation firm, we increased the opening balance of acquired intangible assets by $9.4 million, with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. This allocation adjustment resulted in an increase to amortization expense of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 26, 2016, of which $0.1 million related to each of the previous two quarters. We also revised the opening balance of acquired working capital accounts by a net decrease of $0.5 million, with a corresponding increase to goodwill.

During the three months ended September 25, 2016, as a result of the finalization of the valuation of acquired intangible assets by tax jurisdiction, we reduced the opening balance of deferred income taxes by $4.7 million, with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. This allocation adjustment resulted in a $0.4 million decrease to our income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 25, 2016. We revised the opening balance of property, plant, and equipment by $0.2 million with a corresponding increase to goodwill. The decrease in property, plant, and equipment resulted in an immaterial impact to depreciation expense. We also revised the opening balance of acquired working capital accounts by a net increase of $2.1 million, with a corresponding decrease to goodwill, primarily due to the completion of our assessment on inventory and current liabilities. The purchase price allocation is now considered final.

The acquisition was recorded by allocating the costs of the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Trade receivables and payables, as well as certain other current and non-current assets and liabilities, were valued at the existing carrying values as they represented the fair value of those items at the acquisition date, based on management’s judgments and estimates. Trade receivables included gross contractual amounts of $73.9 million and our best estimate of $10.1 million which represents contractual cash flows not expected to be collected at the acquisition date.

Inventory was recorded at estimated selling price less costs of disposal and a reasonable selling profit. The resulting inventory step-up adjustment is being recognized in cost of sales as the related inventory is sold. The fair value of property, plant and equipment utilized a combination of the cost and market approaches, depending on the characteristics of the asset classification.

In determining the fair value of intangibles, we used an income method which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product or technology life cycles, the economic barriers to entry, and the discount rate applied to the cash flows.

Of the $213.6 million of acquired intangible assets, $99.9 million was assigned to customer relationships (20 year life), $89.5 million was assigned to developed technology (10 year life), $15.9 million was assigned to in-process research and development, and $8.3 million was assigned to trade names (2.6 year life).

The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to strategic opportunities that arose from the acquisition of Tornier. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of Tornier and included in the above allocation of the purchase consideration include, among other assets, assets associated with legacy Tornier's Large Joints Business. As described in more detail in Note 4, on October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter, dated as of July 8, 2016, Tornier France, Corin, and certain other entities related to us and Corin entered into a Sale Agreement and simultaneously completed and closed the sale of our Large Joints Business. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, we sold substantially all of our assets related to our Large Joints Business to Corin for approximately €29.7 million in cash, less approximately €10.6 million for net working capital adjustments and certain other closing adjustments.

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The following pro forma combined financial information (in thousands) summarizes the results of operations for the periods indicated as if the Wright/Tornier merger had been completed as of January 1, 2015.

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 25, 2016			September 30, 2015			September 25, 2016			September 30, 2015
Net sales	$	157,332		$	144,795		$	497,339		$	444,978
Net loss from continuing operations	(43,648		)	(89,380		)	(110,828		)	(217,653		)

The pro forma net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes approximately $3.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of non-recurring merger-related transaction expenses.

Pro forma information reflects adjustments that are expected to have a continuing impact on our results of operations and are directly attributable to the merger. The pro forma results include adjustments to reflect, among other things, the amortization of the inventory step-up, the incremental intangible asset amortization to be incurred based on the preliminary values of each identifiable intangible asset, and to eliminate interest expense related to legacy Tornier's former bank term debt and line of credit, which were repaid upon completion of the Wright/Tornier merger. The pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the merger had occurred as of January 1, 2015 or that may be obtained in the future, and do not reflect future synergies, integration costs, or other such costs or savings.

Divestiture of Certain Legacy Tornier Ankle Replacement and Toe Assets

On October 1, 2015, simultaneous with the completion of the Wright/Tornier merger, we completed the divestiture of the U.S. rights to legacy Tornier's SALTO TALARIS^® and SALTO TALARIS^® XT™ line of ankle replacement products and line of silastic toe replacement products, among other assets, for cash. We retained the right to sell these products outside the United States for up to 20 years unless the purchaser exercises an option to purchase the ex-United States rights to the products. The completion of the asset divestiture was subject to and contingent upon the completion of the Wright/Tornier merger and we believe was necessary in order to obtain U.S. Federal Trade Commission approval of the Wright/Tornier merger. As these assets were not part of Wright/Tornier merger, they were not part of the purchase allocation.

On October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter dated as of July 8, 2016, Tornier France, Corin, and certain other entities related to us and Corin entered into a Business Sale Agreement and simultaneously completed and closed the sale of our Large Joints Business. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, we sold substantially all of our assets related to our Large Joints Business to Corin for approximately €29.7 million in cash, less approximately €10.6 million for net working capital adjustments. Upon closing, the parties also executed a transitional services agreement and supply agreement, among other ancillary agreements required to implement the transaction. These agreements are on arm’s length terms and are not expected to be material to our financial statements.

We determined that the Large Joints Business meets the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. All historical operating results for the Large Joints Business, including costs associated with corporate employees and infrastructure to be transferred as a part of the sale, are reflected within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Further, all assets and associated liabilities transferred to Corin were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. We recognized an impairment loss on assets held for sale of $21.9 million, before the effect of income taxes, in the second quarter of 2016, based on the difference between the net carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale and the purchase price, less estimated adjustments and costs to sell. This loss was recorded within Net loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 25, 2016.

All current operating results for the Large Joints Business are reflected within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. As the Large Joints Business was obtained as a result of the Wright/Tornier merger on October 1, 2015, the historical periods presented are not affected. The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations for the Large Joints Business (in thousands, except per share data):

OrthoRecon Business

On January 9, 2014, legacy Wright completed the divestiture and sale of its hip and knee (OrthoRecon) business to MicroPort Scientific Corporation (MicroPort). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with MicroPort, the purchase price (as defined in the agreement) was approximately $283 million (including a working capital adjustment), which MicroPort paid in cash. As a result of the transaction, we recognized approximately $24.3 million as the gain on disposal of the OrthoRecon business, before the effect of income taxes.

All current and historical operating results for the OrthoRecon business are reflected within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations for the OrthoRecon business (in thousands, except per share data):

___________________________

¹  The prior period weighted-average shares outstanding and net loss per share amounts were converted to meet post-merger valuations as described within Note 12.

Certain liabilities associated with the OrthoRecon business, including product liability claims associated with hip and knee products sold by legacy Wright prior to the closing, were not assumed by MicroPort. Charges associated with these product liability claims, including legal defense, settlements and judgments, income associated with product liability insurance recoveries, and changes to any contingent liabilities associated with the OrthoRecon business have been reflected within results of discontinued operations, and we will continue to reflect these within results of discontinued operations in future periods. During the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, we recognized a $38.7 million and $188.7 million charge, respectively, within discontinued operations related to the retained metal-on-metal product liability claims associated with the OrthoRecon business (see Note 13 for additional discussion).

We will incur continuing cash outflows associated with legal defense costs and the ultimate resolution of these contingent liabilities, net of insurance proceeds, until these liabilities are resolved. Cash used in operating activities from the OrthoRecon business totaled $29.7 million and $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Derivatives and Fair Value [Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivatives

We account for derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. Additionally, changes in the derivatives' fair value shall be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.

FASB ASC Section 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges.

Level 2: Financial instruments determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3: Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.

2021 Conversion Derivative and Notes Hedging

On May 20, 2016, we issued $395 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% cash convertible senior notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes). See Note 9 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes have a conversion derivative feature (2021 Notes Conversion Derivative) that requires bifurcation from the 2021 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2021 Notes was $117.2 million.

In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, we entered into hedges (2021 Notes Hedges) with two option counterparties. The 2021 Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are generally intended to reduce our exposure to potential cash payments that we are required to make upon conversion of the 2021 Notes in excess of the principal amount of converted notes if our ordinary share price exceeds the conversion price. The aggregate cost of the 2021 Notes Hedges was $99.8 million and is accounted for as a derivative asset in accordance with ASC Topic 815. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2021 Note Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2021 Note Hedges.

The following table summarizes the fair value and the presentation in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (in thousands) of the 2021 Notes Hedges and 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative:

	Location on condensed consolidated balance sheet	September 25, 2016
2021 Notes Hedges	Other assets	$	169,488
2021 Notes Conversion Derivative	Other liabilities	$	172,702

The 2021 Notes Hedges and the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. These instruments are not actively traded and are valued using an option pricing model that uses observable and unobservable market data for inputs.

Neither the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative nor the 2021 Notes Hedges qualify for hedge accounting; thus, any change in the fair value of the derivatives is recognized immediately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the net (loss)/gain on changes in fair value (in thousands) related to the 2021 Notes Hedges and 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative:

	Three months ended			Nine months ended

2020 Conversion Derivative and Notes Hedging

On February 13, 2015, WMG issued $632.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% cash convertible senior notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes). See Note 9 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes have a conversion derivative feature (2020 Notes Conversion Derivative) that requires bifurcation from the 2020 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2020 Notes was $149.8 million.

In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, WMG entered into hedges (2020 Notes Hedges) with three option counterparties. The 2020 Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are generally intended to reduce WMG's exposure to potential cash payments that WMG is required to make upon conversion of the 2020 Notes in excess of the principal amount of converted notes if our ordinary share price exceeds the conversion price. The aggregate cost of the 2020 Notes Hedges was $144.8 million and is accounted for as a derivative asset in accordance with ASC Topic 815. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2020 Note Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2020 Note Hedges.

Concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of the 2020 Notes exchanged approximately $45 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes (including the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative) for the 2021 Notes. For each $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes validly submitted for exchange, we delivered $990 principal amount of the 2021 Notes (subject, in each case, to rounding down to the nearest $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, the difference being referred as the rounded amount) to the investor plus an amount of cash equal to the unpaid interest on the 2020 Notes and the rounded amount at an aggregate cost of approximately $44.6 million. We settled the associated portion of the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative at a benefit of approximately $0.4 million and satisfied the accrued interest, which was not material.

In addition, during the second quarter of 2016, we settled a portion of the 2020 Notes Hedges (receiving $3.9 million) and repurchased a portion of the warrants associated with the 2020 Notes (paying $3.3 million), generating net proceeds of approximately $0.6 million.

The following table summarizes the fair value and the presentation in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (in thousands) of the 2020 Notes Hedges and 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative:

	Location on condensed consolidated balance sheet	September 25, 2016		December 27, 2015
2020 Notes Hedges	Other assets	$	83,308	$	127,758
2020 Notes Conversion Derivative	Other liabilities	$	84,856	$	129,107

The 2020 Notes Hedges and the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. These instruments are not actively traded and are valued using an option pricing model that uses observable and unobservable market data for inputs.

Neither the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative nor the 2020 Notes Hedges qualify for hedge accounting; thus, any change in the fair value of the derivatives is recognized immediately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the net gain on changes in fair value (in thousands) related to the 2020 Notes Hedges and 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative:

2017 Conversion Derivative and Notes Hedging

On August 31, 2012, WMG issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% cash convertible senior notes due 2017 (the 2017 Notes). See Note 9 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2017 Notes. The 2017 Notes have a conversion derivative feature (2017 Notes Conversion Derivative) that requires bifurcation from the 2017 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2017 Notes was $48.1 million.

In connection with the issuance of the 2017 Notes, WMG entered into hedges (2017 Notes Hedges) with three option counterparties. The aggregate cost of the 2017 Notes Hedges was $56.2 million and was accounted for as a derivative asset in accordance with ASC Topic 815.

In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, WMG used approximately $292 million of the 2020 Notes' net proceeds to repurchase and extinguish approximately $240 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes, settle the associated portion of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative at a cost of approximately $49 million, and satisfy the accrued interest of $2.4 million. WMG also settled all of the 2017 Notes Hedges (receiving $70 million) and repurchased all of the warrants associated with the 2017 Notes (paying $60 million), generating net proceeds of approximately $10 million.

Concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of the 2017 Notes exchanged approximately $54.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2017 Notes (including the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative) for the 2021 Notes. For each $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes validly submitted for exchange, we delivered $1,035.40 principal amount of the 2021 Notes (subject, in each case, to rounding down to the nearest $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, the difference being referred as the rounded amount) to the investor plus an amount of cash equal to the unpaid interest on the 2017 Notes and the rounded amount at a cost of approximately $56.3 million. We settled the associated portion of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative at a cost of approximately $1.9 million and satisfied the accrued interest, which was not material.

In addition, during the second quarter of 2016, we repurchased and extinguished an additional $3.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes in privately negotiated transactions and settled the associated portion of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative at a cost of approximately $0.1 million, and satisfied the accrued interest, which was not material.

The following table summarizes the fair value and the presentation in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (in thousands) of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative:

	Location on condensed consolidated balance sheet	September 25, 2016		December 27, 2015
2017 Notes Conversion Derivative	Other liabilities	$	247	$	10,440

The 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative is measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. This instrument is not actively traded and is valued using an option pricing model that uses observable and unobservable market data for inputs.

Neither the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative nor the 2017 Notes Hedges qualify for hedge accounting; thus, any change in the fair value of the derivatives is recognized immediately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the net (loss)/gain on changes in fair value (in thousands) related to the 2017 Notes Hedges and 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative:

	Three months ended					Nine months ended
	September 25, 2016			September 30, 2015		September 25, 2016		September 30, 2015
2017 Notes Hedges	$	—		$	—	$	—	$	(10,236	)

Net (loss)/gain on changes in fair value	$	(186	)	$	4,407	$	8,124	$	8,469

To determine the fair value of the embedded conversion option in the 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes Conversion Derivatives, a trinomial lattice model was used. A trinomial stock price lattice generates three possible outcomes of stock price - one up, one down, and one stable. This lattice generates a distribution of stock prices at the maturity date and throughout the life of the 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes. Using this stock price lattice, a convertible note lattice was created where the value of the embedded conversion option was estimated by comparing the value produced in a convertible note lattice with the option to convert against the value without the ability to convert. In each case, the convertible note lattice first calculates the possible convertible note values at the maturity date, using the distribution of stock prices, which equals to the maximum of (x) the remaining bond cash flows and (y) stock price times the conversion price. The values of the 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes Conversion Derivatives at the valuation date were estimated using the values at the maturity date and moving back in time on the lattices (both for the lattice with the conversion option and without the conversion option). Specifically, at each node, if the 2017, 2020, or 2021 Notes are eligible for early conversion, the value at this node is the maximum of (i) converting to stock, which is the stock price times the conversion price, and (ii) holding onto the 2017, 2020, and 2021 Notes, which is the discounted and probability-weighted value from the three possible outcomes at the future nodes plus any accrued but unpaid coupons that are not considered at the future nodes. If the 2017, 2020, or 2021 Notes are not eligible for early conversion, the value of the conversion option at this node equals to (ii). In the lattice, a credit adjustment was applied to the discount for each cash flow in the model as the embedded conversion option, as well as the coupon and notional payments, is settled with cash instead of shares.

To estimate the fair value of the 2020 and 2021 Notes Hedges, we used the Black-Scholes formula combined with credit adjustments, as the option counterparties have credit risk and the call options are cash settled. We assumed that the call options will be exercised at the maturity since our ordinary shares do not pay any dividends and management does not expect to declare dividends in the near term.

The following assumptions were used in the fair market valuations of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative, 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative, 2020 Notes Hedge, 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative, and 2021 Notes Hedge as of September 25, 2016:

	2017 Notes Conversion Derivative	2020 Notes Conversion Derivative	2020 Notes Hedge	2021 Notes Conversion Derivative	2021 Notes Hedge

Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We employ a derivative program using foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of currency fluctuations on our intercompany receivable and payable balances that are denominated in foreign currencies. These forward contracts are expected to offset the transactional gains and losses on the related intercompany balances. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under FASB ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value and the settlement of the contracts are recognized in the period incurred in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. At September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, we had $0.1 million and $3.6 million in foreign currency contracts outstanding, respectively.

As part of our acquisition of WG Healthcare on January 7, 2013, we may be obligated to pay contingent consideration upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones; therefore, we have recorded the estimated fair value of future contingent consideration of approximately $0.6 million as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015.

As a result of the acquired sales and distribution business of Surgical Specialties Australia Pty. Ltd in 2015, we had contingent consideration of approximately $1.8 million and $1.5 million as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, respectively.

The fair value of the contingent consideration as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015 was determined using a discounted cash flow model and probability adjusted estimates of the future earnings and is classified in Level 3. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in “Other income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On March 1, 2013, as part of our acquisition of BioMimetic Therapeutics, Inc. (BioMimetic), we issued Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) as part of the merger consideration. Each CVR entitles its holder to receive additional cash payments of up to $6.50 per share, which are payable upon receipt of FDA approval of AUGMENT^® Bone Graft and upon achieving certain revenue milestones. On September 1, 2015, AUGMENT^® Bone Graft received FDA approval and the first of the milestone payments associated with the CVRs was paid out at $3.50 per share, which totaled $98.1 million. The fair value of the CVRs outstanding at September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015 was $37.3 million and $28.3 million, respectively, and was determined using the closing price of the security in the active market (Level 1). For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, the change in the value of the CVRs resulted in expense of $2.3 million and $9.0 million, respectively, which was recorded in “Other income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the change in the value of the CVRs resulted in expense of $14.6 million and income of $7.3 million, respectively, which was recorded in “Other income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates the fair value of these financial instruments at September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015 due to their short maturities and variable rates.

The following tables summarizes the valuation of our financial instruments (in thousands):

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill occurring during the nine months ended September 25, 2016, are as follows (in thousands):

	U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics			U.S. Upper Extremities		International Extremities & Biologics			Total
Goodwill at December 27, 2015	$	221,327		$	555,312	$	90,350		$	866,989

Goodwill at September 25, 2016	$	218,525		$	558,669	$	78,606		$	855,800

During the first nine months of 2016, we revised opening balance accounts receivable; inventory; intangible assets; property, plant and equipment; accrued expenses and other current liabilities; and deferred tax liabilities acquired as part of the Wright/Tornier merger, which resulted in a $13.7 million decrease in the preliminary value of goodwill determined as of December 27, 2015. See Note 3 for additional discussion of these adjustments.

During the first quarter of 2016, our management, including our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, began managing our operations as four operating segments: U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, International Extremities & Biologics, and Large Joints, based on our chief executive officer's review of financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources and to assess the operating results and financial performance of each segment. Management's change to the way it monitors performance, aligns strategies, and allocates resources resulted in a change in our reportable segments (see Note 14). We have determined that each reportable segment represents a reporting unit and, in accordance with ASC 350, requires an allocation of goodwill to each reporting unit.  We allocated $219 million, $559 million, and $79 million of goodwill to the U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, and International Extremities & Biologics reportable segments, respectively. As a result of the sale of the Large Joints Business, the $8.5 million and $9.4 million balances of goodwill which was allocated to the Large Joints reportable segment as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, have been reclassified to assets held for sale within the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The change in segment reporting also required an interim review of potential goodwill impairment which we performed as of February 2016, the segment reorganization date. Upon completion of this analysis, we determined that the fair value of our reporting units, determined primarily by an income approach using projected cash flows, exceeded their carrying values; and therefore, no goodwill was impaired.

2021 Notes

On May 20, 2016, we issued $395 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes pursuant to an indenture (2021 Notes Indenture), dated as of May 20, 2016, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2021 Notes will pay interest at an annual rate of 2.25% semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15, beginning on November 15, 2016, and will mature on November 15, 2021 unless earlier converted or repurchased. The 2021 Notes are convertible, subject to certain conditions, solely into cash. The initial conversion rate for the 2021 Notes will be 46.8165 ordinary shares (subject to adjustment as provided in the 2021 Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of the 2021 Notes Indenture), which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $21.36 per ordinary share. We may not redeem the 2021 Notes prior to the maturity date, and no “sinking fund” is available for the 2021 Notes, which means that we are not required to redeem or retire the 2021 Notes periodically.

The holders of the 2021 Notes may convert their 2021 Notes at any time prior to May 15, 2021 solely into cash, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, upon satisfaction of one or more of the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2016 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2021 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after May 15, 2021 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2021 Notes solely into cash, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, a holder will receive an amount in cash, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, equal to the settlement amount as calculated under the 2021 Notes Indenture. If we undergo a fundamental change, as defined in the 2021 Notes Indenture, subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2021 Notes will have the option to require us to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their 2021 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date, as defined in the 2021 Notes Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate transactions, we, under certain circumstances, will increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2021 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction. The 2021 Notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank: (i) senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2021 Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of our unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries. As a result of this transaction, we recorded deferred financing charges of approximately $7.3 million, which are being amortized over the term of the 2021 Notes using the effective interest method.

The 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative requires bifurcation from the 2021 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative. The fair value of the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2021 Notes was $117.2 million and was recorded as original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the 2021 Notes. This discount is amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2021 Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, we recorded $4.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount based upon an effective rate of 9.72%.

The components of the 2021 Notes were as follows (in thousands):

	September 25, 2016			December 27, 2015
Principal amount of 2021 Notes	$	395,000		$	—
Unamortized debt discount	(111,702		)	—
Unamortized debt issuance costs	(6,718		)	—
Net carrying amount of 2021 Notes	$	276,580		$	—

The estimated fair value of the 2021 Notes was approximately $498.2 million at September 25, 2016, based on a quoted price in an active market (Level 1).

We entered into 2021 Notes Hedges in connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes with two counterparties. The 2021 Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are generally intended to reduce our exposure to potential cash payments that we would be required to make if holders elect to convert the 2021 Notes at a time when our ordinary share price exceeds the conversion price. However, in connection with certain events, including, among others, (i) a merger or other make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the 2021 Notes Indenture), (ii) certain hedging disruption events, which may include changes in tax laws, an increase in the cost of borrowing our ordinary shares in the market or other material increases in the cost to the option counterparties of hedging the 2021 Note Hedges, (iii) our failure to perform certain obligations under the 2021 Notes Indenture or under the 2021 Notes Hedges, (iv) certain payment defaults on our existing indebtedness in excess of $25 million or (v) if we or any of our significant subsidiaries become insolvent or otherwise becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings, the option counterparties have the discretion to terminate the 2021 Notes Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2021 Notes Hedges. In addition, the option counterparties have broad discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2021 Notes Hedges and warrant transactions upon the occurrence of certain other events, including, among others, (i) any adjustment to the conversion rate of the 2021 Notes, or (ii) upon the announcement of certain significant corporate events, including events that may give rise to a termination event as described above, such as the announcement of a third-party tender offer. Any such adjustment may also reduce the effectiveness of the 2021 Note Hedges. The aggregate cost of the 2021 Notes Hedges was $99.8 million and is accounted for as a derivative asset in accordance with ASC Topic 815. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2021 Notes Hedges and the 2021 Notes Conversion Derivative.

We also entered into warrant transactions in which we sold warrants for an aggregate of 18.5 million ordinary shares to the two option counterparties, subject to adjustment, for an aggregate of $54.6 million. The strike price of the warrants is $30.00 per share, which was 69% above the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares on May 12, 2016. The warrants are expected to be net-share settled and exercisable over the 100 trading day period beginning on February 15, 2022. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect on our ordinary shares to the extent that the market value per ordinary share during such period exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to warrant transactions, which may increase our obligations under the warrant transactions.

Aside from the initial payment of the $99.8 million premium in the aggregate to the two option counterparties and subject to the right of the option counterparties to terminate the 2021 Notes Hedges in certain circumstances, we do not expect to be required to make any cash payments to the option counterparties under the 2021 Notes Hedges and expect to be entitled to receive from the option counterparties cash, generally equal to the amount by which the market price per ordinary share exceeds the strike price of the convertible note hedging transactions during the relevant valuation period. The strike price under the 2021 Notes Hedges is initially equal to the conversion price of the 2021 Notes. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2021 Note Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2021 Note Hedges. Additionally, if the market value per ordinary share exceeds the strike price on any settlement date under the warrant transaction, we will generally be obligated to issue to the option counterparties in the aggregate a number of shares equal in value to one percent of the amount by which the then-current market value of one ordinary share exceeds the then-effective strike price of each warrant, multiplied by the number of ordinary shares into which the 2021 Notes are initially convertible. We will not receive any additional proceeds if warrants are exercised.

As described in more detail below, concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes exchanged their 2017 Notes or 2020 Notes for the 2021 Notes.

2020 Notes

On February 13, 2015, WMG issued $632.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes pursuant to an indenture (2020 Notes Indenture), dated as of February 13, 2015 between WMG and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2020 Notes require interest to be paid semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15 at an annual rate of 2.00%, and mature on February 15, 2020 unless earlier converted or repurchased. The 2020 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder, during certain periods and subject to certain conditions described below, solely into cash at an initial conversion rate of 32.3939 shares of WMG common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $30.87 per share of WMG common stock. On November 24, 2015, Wright Medical Group N.V. executed a supplemental indenture, fully and unconditionally guaranteeing, on a senior unsecured basis, WMG’s obligations relating to the 2020 Notes, changing the underlying reference securities from WMG common stock to Wright Medical Group N.V. ordinary shares and making a corresponding adjustment to the conversion price. From and after the effective time of the Wright/Tornier merger, (i) all calculations and other determinations with respect to the 2020 Notes previously based on references to WMG common stock are calculated or determined by reference to our ordinary shares, and (ii) the conversion rate (as defined in the 2020 Notes Indenture) for the 2020 Notes was adjusted to an initial conversion rate of 33.39487 ordinary shares (subject to adjustment as provided in the 2020 Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $29.94 per ordinary share (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of the 2020 Notes Indenture). The 2020 Notes may not be redeemed by WMG prior to the maturity date, and no “sinking fund” is available for the 2020 Notes, which means that WMG is not required to redeem or retire the 2020 Notes periodically.

The holders of the 2020 Notes may convert their notes at any time prior to August 15, 2019 solely into cash, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, upon satisfaction of one or more of the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. The Wright/Tornier merger did not result in a conversion right for holders of the 2020 Notes. On or after August 15, 2019 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2020 Notes solely into cash, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, a holder will receive an amount in cash, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, equal to the settlement amount as calculated under the 2020 Notes Indenture. If WMG undergoes a fundamental change, as defined in the 2020 Notes Indenture, subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2020 Notes will have the option to require WMG to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date, as defined in the 2020 Notes Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate transactions, WMG, under certain circumstances, will increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2020 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction. The 2020 Notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank: (i) senior in right of payment to any of WMG's indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2020 Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of WMG's unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of WMG's subsidiaries. In conjunction with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, we recorded deferred financing charges of approximately $18 million, which are being amortized over the term of the 2020 Notes using the effective interest method.

The 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative requires bifurcation from the 2020 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative. The fair value of the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2020 Notes was $149.8 million and was recorded as original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the 2020 Notes. This discount is amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2020 Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, we recorded $6.3 million and $19.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount based upon an effective rate of 8.54%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $6.1 million and $15.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount based upon an effective rate of 8.54%.

Concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of the 2020 Notes exchanged approximately $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of their 2020 Notes for the 2021 Notes. For each $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes validly submitted for exchange, we delivered $990.00 principal amount of the 2021 Notes (subject to rounding down to the nearest $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, the difference being referred as the rounded amount) to the investor plus an amount of cash equal to the unpaid interest on the 2020 Notes and the rounded amount. As a result of this note exchange and retirement of $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes, we recognized approximately $9.3 million for the write-off of related pro-rata unamortized deferred financing fees and debt discount within “Other income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 25, 2016.

The components of the 2020 Notes were as follows (in thousands):

	September 25, 2016			December 27, 2015
Principal amount of 2020 Notes	$	587,500		$	632,500

¹  The prior period debt issuance costs were reclassified to account for adoption of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 (See Note 2).

The estimated fair value of the 2020 Notes was approximately $629.0 million at September 25, 2016, based on a quoted price in an active market (Level 1).

WMG entered into the 2020 Notes Hedges in connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes with three option counterparties. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the 2020 Notes Hedges. The 2020 Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are generally intended to reduce WMG's exposure to potential cash payments that WMG would be required to make if holders elect to convert the 2020 Notes at a time when our ordinary share price exceeds the conversion price. However, in connection with certain events, including, among others, (i) a merger or other make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the 2020 Notes indenture), (ii) certain hedging disruption events, which may include changes in tax laws, an increase in the cost of borrowing our ordinary shares in the market or other material increases in the cost to the option counterparties of hedging the 2020 Note Hedges, (iii) WMG's failure to perform certain obligations under the 2020 Notes Indenture or under the 2020 Notes Hedges, (iv) certain payment defaults on WMG's existing indebtedness in excess of $25 million or (v) if WMG or any of its significant subsidiaries become insolvent or otherwise becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings, the option counterparties have the discretion to terminate the 2020 Note Hedges at a value determined by them in a commercially reasonable manner and/or adjust the terms of the 2020 Note Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2020 Note Hedges. In addition, the option counterparties have broad discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2020 Notes Hedges upon the occurrence of certain other events, including, among others, (i) any adjustment to the conversion rate of the 2020 Notes, or (ii) upon the announcement of certain significant corporate events, including events that may give rise to a termination event as described above, such as the announcement of a third-party tender offer. Any such adjustment may also reduce the effectiveness of the 2020 Note Hedges. The aggregate cost of the 2020 Notes Hedges was $144.8 million and is accounted for as a derivative asset in accordance with ASC Topic 815. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2020 Notes Hedges and the 2020 Notes Conversion Derivative.

WMG also entered into warrant transactions in which it sold warrants for an aggregate of 20.5 million shares of WMG common stock to the three option counterparties, subject to adjustment. The strike price of the warrants was initially $40 per share of WMG common stock, which was 59% above the last reported sale price of WMG common stock on February 9, 2015. On November 24, 2015, Wright Medical Group N.V. assumed WMG's obligations pursuant to the warrants. Following the assumption, the warrants became exercisable for 21.1 million Wright Medical Group N.V. ordinary shares and the strike price of the warrants was adjusted to $38.8010 per ordinary share. The warrants are expected to be net-share settled and exercisable over the 200 trading day period beginning on May 15, 2020. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect on our ordinary shares to the extent that the market value per ordinary share during such period exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to warrant transactions, which may increase our obligations under the warrant transactions.

During the three months ended June 26, 2016, we settled a portion of the 2020 Notes Hedges (receiving $3.9 million) and repurchased warrants for an aggregate of 1.5 million ordinary shares (paying $3.3 million) associated with the 2020 Notes.

Aside from the initial payment of the $144.8 million premium in the aggregate to the option counterparties, we do not expect to be required to make any cash payments to the option counterparties under the 2020 Notes Hedges and expect to be entitled to receive from the option counterparties cash, generally equal to the amount by which the market price per ordinary share exceeds the strike price of the convertible note hedging transactions during the relevant valuation period. The strike price under the 2020 Notes Hedges is initially equal to the conversion price of the 2020 Notes. However, in connection with certain events, these option counterparties have the discretion to make certain adjustments to the 2020 Note Hedges, which may reduce the effectiveness of the 2020 Note Hedges. Additionally, if the market value per ordinary share exceeds the strike price on any settlement date under the warrant transaction, we will generally be obligated to issue to the option counterparties in the aggregate a number of ordinary shares equal in value to one half of one percent of the amount by which the then-current market value of one ordinary share exceeds the then-effective strike price of each warrant, multiplied by the number of reference ordinary shares into which the 2020 Notes are initially convertible. We will not receive any additional proceeds if warrants are exercised.

2017 Notes

On August 31, 2012, WMG issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes pursuant to an indenture (2017 Notes Indenture), dated as of August 31, 2012 between WMG and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2017 Notes mature on August 15, 2017, and we pay interest on the 2017 Notes semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15 at an annual rate of 2.00%. WMG may not redeem the 2017 Notes prior to the maturity date, and no “sinking fund” is available for the 2017 Notes, which means that WMG is not required to redeem or retire the 2017 Notes periodically. The 2017 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder, during certain periods and subject to certain conditions as described below, solely into cash at an initial conversion rate of 39.3140 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2017 Notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events, which represents an initial conversion price of $25.44 per share. Holders may convert their 2017 Notes at any time prior to February 15, 2017 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2012 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. While we currently do not expect significant conversions because the 2017 Notes currently trade at a premium to the as-converted value, and a converting holder would forego future interest payments, any conversions would reduce our cash resources. On or after February 15, 2017 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2017 Notes solely into cash, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, a holder will receive an amount in cash, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2017 Notes, equal to the settlement amount as calculated under the 2017 Notes Indenture. If we undergo a fundamental change, as defined in the 2017 Notes Indenture, subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2017 Notes will have the option to require WMG to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their 2017 Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date, as defined in the 2017 Notes Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate transactions, WMG, under certain circumstances, will pay a cash make-whole premium by increasing the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2017 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction. The 2017 Notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank: (i) senior in right of payment to any of WMG's indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2017 Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of WMG's unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of WMG's subsidiaries. As a result of this transaction, we recognized deferred financing charges of approximately $8.8 million, which are being amortized over the term of the 2017 Notes using the effective interest method.

The 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative requires bifurcation from the 2017 Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative. The fair value of the 2017 Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the 2017 Notes was $48.1 million and was recorded as original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the 2017 Notes. This discount is amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2017 Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, we recorded $18 thousand and $918 thousand, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount, respectively, based upon an effective rate of 6.47%. For the three and nine ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $0.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount, respectively, based upon an effective rate of 6.47%.

In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, on February 13, 2015, WMG repurchased and extinguished $240 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes and settled all of the 2017 Notes Hedges (receiving $70 million) and repurchased all of the warrants (paying $60 million) associated with the 2017 Notes. As a result of the repurchase, we recognized approximately $25.1 million for the write-off of related pro-rata unamortized deferred financing fees and debt discount within “Other income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Concurrently with the issuance and sale of the 2021 Notes, certain holders of the 2017 Notes exchanged approximately $54.4 million aggregate principal amount their 2017 Notes for the 2021 Notes. For each $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes validly submitted for exchange, we delivered $1,035.40 principal amount of 2021 Notes (subject to rounding down to the nearest $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, the difference being referred as the rounded amount) to the investor plus an amount of cash equal to the unpaid interest on the 2017 Notes and the rounded amount. In addition, during the three months ended June 26, 2016, we repurchased and extinguished an additional $3.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes in privately negotiated transactions. As a result of this exchange and these repurchases, we recognized approximately $3.0 million for the write-off of related pro-rata unamortized deferred financing fees and debt discount within “Other income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 25, 2016.

The components of the 2017 Notes were as follows (in thousands):

	September 25, 2016			December 27, 2015
Principal amount of 2017 Notes	$	2,026		$	60,000
Unamortized debt discount	(66		)	(3,495		)
Unamortized debt issuance costs	(11		)	(640		)

¹  The prior period debt issuance costs were reclassified to account for adoption of ASU 2015-03 and 2015-15 (See Note 2).

The estimated fair value of the 2017 Notes was approximately $2.1 million at September 25, 2016, based on a quoted price in an active market (Level 1).

Mortgages and Shareholder Debt

The Company has mortgages and other debt that had an outstanding balance of $3.0 million and $2.7 million at September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015. The majority of this debt is mortgages that were acquired as a result of the Wright/Tornier merger. These mortgages are secured by an office building in Montbonnot, France and bear fixed annual interest rates of 2.55%-4.9%.

The shareholder debt is the result of a 2008 transaction where a 51%-owned and consolidated subsidiary of legacy Tornier borrowed $2.2 million from a then-current member of the legacy Tornier board of directors, who was also a 49% owner of the consolidated subsidiary. This loan was used to partially fund the purchase of real estate in Grenoble, France, to be used as a manufacturing facility. Interest on the debt is variable-based on the three-month Euro Libor rate plus 0.5% and has no stated term. The outstanding balance on this debt was $1.9 million and $2.0 million as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, respectively.

Earnings per share (Notes)

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

We are authorized to issue up to 320 million ordinary shares, each share with a par value of three Euro cents (€0.03). We had 103.2 million and 102.7 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, respectively. As discussed in Note 3, the Wright/Tornier merger completed on October 1, 2015 was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” under US GAAP. As such, legacy Wright was considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes; and therefore, legacy Wright’s historical results of operations replaced legacy Tornier’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger. Additionally, each legacy Wright share was converted into the right to receive 1.0309 ordinary shares of the combined company and the par value was revised to reflect the €0.03 par value as compared to the legacy Wright par value of $0.01. These changes resulted in the restatement of the following to conform to the current presentation:

• ordinary shares and additional paid-in capital balances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included in Note 11;

• September 30, 2015 earnings per share and weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding on the statements of operations; and

• September 30, 2015 weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding below.

FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to include any dilutive effect of our ordinary share equivalents. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, our ordinary share equivalents consisted of stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, our ordinary share equivalents consisted of stock options, non-vested ordinary shares, restricted stock units, and warrants. The dilutive effect of the stock options, non-vested ordinary shares, restricted stock units, and warrants is calculated using the treasury-stock method. Net-share settled warrants on the 2017 Notes, 2020 Notes, and 2021 Notes were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

We had outstanding options to purchase 10.7 million ordinary shares and 1.4 million restricted stock units at September 25, 2016 and options to purchase 4.3 million ordinary shares and 0.3 million restricted stock units and restricted stock awards at September 30, 2015. None of the options, restricted stock units, or restricted stock awards were included in diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015 because we recorded a net loss for all periods; and therefore, including these instruments would be anti-dilutive.

The weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share purposes is as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 25, 2016	September 30, 2015	September 25, 2016	September 30, 2015
Weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding — basic1	103,072	52,750	102,854	52,607
Weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding — diluted1	103,072	52,750	102,854	52,607

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

The legal contingencies described in this footnote relate primarily to Wright Medical Technology, Inc. (WMT), an indirect subsidiary of Wright Medical Group N.V., and are not necessarily applicable to Wright Medical Group N.V. or other affiliated entities. Maintaining separate legal entities within our corporate structure is intended to ring-fence liabilities.  We believe our ring-fenced structure should preclude corporate veil-piercing efforts against entities whose assets are not associated with particular claims.  

As described below, our business is subject to various contingencies, including patent and other litigation, product liability claims, and a government inquiry.  These contingencies could result in losses, including damages, fines, or penalties, any of which could be substantial, as well as criminal charges. Although such matters are inherently unpredictable, and negative outcomes or verdicts can occur, we believe we have significant defenses in all of them, and are vigorously defending all of them. However, we could incur judgments, pay settlements, or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of any matter. Such developments, if any, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which applicable amounts are accrued, or on our cash flows in the period in which amounts are paid, however, unless otherwise indicated, we do not believe any of them will have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Our legal contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss or the measurement of a loss can be complex. We have accrued for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Unless otherwise indicated, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued.  Our assessment process relies on estimates and assumptions that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that could cause us to change our estimates and assumptions.

Governmental Inquiries

On August 3, 2012, we received a subpoena from the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Tennessee requesting records and documentation relating to our PROFEMUR^® series of hip replacement devices. The subpoena covers the period from January 1, 2000 to August 2, 2012. We continue to cooperate with the investigation.

Patent Litigation

In 2011, Howmedica Osteonics Corp. and Stryker Ireland, Ltd. (collectively, Stryker), each a subsidiary of Stryker Corporation, filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that we infringed Stryker's U.S. Patent No. 6,475,243 related to our LINEAGE^®Acetabular Cup System and DYNASTY^® Acetabular Cup System. The lawsuit seeks an order of infringement, injunctive relief, unspecified damages, and various other costs and relief. On July 9, 2013, the Court issued a claim construction ruling. On November 25, 2014, the Court entered judgment of non-infringement in our favor. On January 7, 2015, Stryker filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Court of Appeals heard oral argument on December 10, 2015 and, on May 12, 2016, upheld the lower court’s decision. Stryker subsequently filed a combined petition for rehearing with the Court of Appeals, which was denied on July 15, 2016. The deadline for filing a petition for a hearing with the United States Supreme Court expired on October 13, 2016; therefore, all appellate avenues are now exhausted.

In June 2013, Anglefix, LLC filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, alleging that our ORTHOLOC^® products infringe Anglefix’s asserted patent. On April 14, 2014, we filed a request for Inter Partes Review (IPR) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In October 2014, the Court stayed the case pending outcome of the IPR. On June 30, 2015, the Patent Office Board entered judgment in our favor as to all patent claims at issue in the IPR. Following the conclusion of the IPR, the District Court lifted the stay, and we have been continuing with our defense as to remaining patent claims asserted by Anglefix. On June 27, 2016, the Court granted in part our motion for summary judgment on Anglefix’s lack of standing and gave Anglefix 30 days to join the University of North Carolina (UNC) as a co-plaintiff in the lawsuit. On July 25, 2016, Anglefix filed a motion asking the Court to accept a waiver of claims by UNC as a substitute for joining UNC as a co-plaintiff in the lawsuit. The Court denied Anglefix’s motion, but granted leave for additional time to properly join UNC as co-plaintiff. Anglefix moved to add UNC as co-plaintiff on September 15, 2016. We have opposed that motion and oral argument is set for November 3, 2016.

On September 23, 2014, Spineology filed a patent infringement lawsuit, Case No. 0:14-cv-03767, in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota, alleging that our X-REAM^® bone reamer infringes U.S. Patent No. RE42,757 entitled “EXPANDABLE REAMER.”  In January 2015, on the deadline for service of its complaint, Spineology dismissed its complaint without prejudice and filed a new, identical complaint. We filed an answer to the new complaint with the Court on April 27, 2015 and discovery is underway. The Court conducted a Markman hearing on March 23, 2016. Mediation was held on August 11, 2016, but no agreement could be reached. The Court issued a Markman decision on August 30, 2016, in which it found all asserted product claims invalid as indefinite under applicable patent laws and construed several additional claim terms. The case is currently in expert discovery with respect to the remaining asserted method claims.

On September 13, 2016, we filed a civil action, Case No. 2:16-cv-02737-JPM, against Spineology in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee alleging breach of contract, breach of implied warranty against infringement, and seeking a judicial declaration of indemnification from Spineology for patent infringement claims brought against us stemming from our sale and/or use of certain expandable reamers purchased from Spineology. Spineology filed a motion to dismiss on October 17, 2016. A telephonic scheduling conference has been set for November 17, 2016.

On March 1, 2016, Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF) filed suit against Solana and WMT in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that the TenFUSE PIP product infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,432,436 entitled “Partially Demineralized Cortical Bone Constructs.” On May 25, 2016, we agreed to waive service of MTF’s complaint. We continue to investigate MTF’s allegations and our answer to MTF’s complaint is due on November 7, 2016.

Subject to the provisions of the asset purchase agreement with MicroPort for the sale of the OrthoRecon business, we, as between us and MicroPort, will continue to be responsible for defense of pre-existing patent infringement cases relating to the OrthoRecon business, and for resulting liabilities, if any.

Product Liability

We have received claims for personal injury against us associated with fractures of our PROFEMUR^® long titanium modular neck product (PROFEMUR^® Claims). As of September 25, 2016 there were 31 pending U.S. lawsuits and 48 pending non-U.S. lawsuits alleging such claims. The overall fracture rate for the product is low and the fractures appear, at least in part, to relate to patient demographics. Beginning in 2009, we began offering a cobalt-chrome version of our PROFEMUR^® modular neck, which has greater strength characteristics than the alternative titanium version. Historically, we have reflected our liability for these claims as part of our standard product liability accruals on a case-by-case basis. However, during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as a result of an increase in the number and monetary amount of these claims, management estimated our liability to patients in North America who have previously required a revision following a fracture of a PROFEMUR^® long titanium modular neck, or who may require a revision in the future. Management has estimated that this aggregate liability ranges from approximately $25.8 million to $30.9 million. Any claims associated with this product outside of North America, or for any other products, will be managed as part of our standard product liability accrual methodology on a case-by-case basis.

Due to the uncertainty within our aggregate range of loss resulting from the estimation of the number of claims and related monetary payments, we have recorded a liability of $25.8 million, which represents the low-end of our estimated aggregate range of loss. We have classified $12.1 million of this liability as current in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities,” as we expect to pay such claims within the next twelve months, and $13.7 million as non-current in “Other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet. We expect to pay the majority of these claims within the next three years.

We are aware that MicroPort has recalled certain sizes of its cobalt chrome modular neck products as a result of alleged fractures. As of September 25, 2016, there were two pending U.S. lawsuits and five pending non-U.S. lawsuits against us alleging personal injury resulting from the fracture of a cobalt chrome modular neck. These claims will be managed as part of our standard product liability accrual methodology on a case-by-case basis.

We have maintained product liability insurance coverage on a claims-made basis. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we received a customary reservation of rights from our primary product liability insurance carrier asserting that present and future claims related to fractures of our PROFEMUR^®titanium modular neck hip products and which allege certain types of injury (Titanium Modular Neck Claims) would be covered as a single occurrence under the policy year the first such claim was asserted. The effect of this coverage position would be to place Titanium Modular Neck Claims into a single prior policy year in which applicable claims-made coverage was available, subject to the overall policy limits then in effect. Management agrees with the assertion that the Titanium Modular Neck Claims should be treated as a single occurrence, but notified the carrier that it disputed the carrier's selection of available policy years. During the second quarter of 2013, we received confirmation from the primary carrier confirming their agreement with our policy year determination. Based on our insurer's treatment of Titanium Modular Neck Claims as a single occurrence, we increased our estimate of the total probable insurance recovery related to Titanium Modular Neck Claims by $19.4 million, and recognized such additional recovery as a reduction to our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013, within results of discontinued operations. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we received payment from the primary insurance carrier of $5 million. In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, we received payment of $10 million from the next insurance carrier in the tower. We have requested, but not yet received, payment of the remaining $25 million from the third insurance carrier in the tower for that policy period. The policies with the second and third carrier in this tower are “follow form” policies and management believes the third carrier should follow the coverage position taken by the primary and secondary carriers. On September 29, 2015, that third carrier asserted that the terms and conditions identified in its reservation of rights will preclude coverage for the Titanium Modular Neck Claims. We strongly dispute the carrier's position and, in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of the policy, have initiated an arbitration proceeding in London, England seeking payment of these funds. Pursuant to applicable accounting standards, we reduced our insurance receivable balance for this claim to $0, and recorded a $25 million charge within "Net loss from discontinued operations" during the year ended December 27, 2015. The arbitration proceeding is ongoing.

Claims for personal injury have also been made against us associated with our metal-on-metal hip products (primarily our CONSERVE^® product line). The pre-trial management of certain of these claims has been consolidated in the federal court system, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia under multi-district litigation (MDL) and certain other claims by the Judicial Counsel Coordinated Proceedings (JCCP) in state court in Los Angeles County, California (collectively the Consolidated Metal-on-Metal Claims).

As of September 25, 2016, there were approximately 1,200 lawsuits pending in the MDL and JCCP, and an additional 30 cases pending in various state courts. As of that date, we have also entered into approximately 950 so called "tolling agreements" with potential claimants who have not yet filed suit. Based on presently available information, we believe at least 350 of these lawsuits allege claims involving bilateral implants. As of September 25, 2016, there were also 50 non-U.S. lawsuits pending. We believe we have data that supports the efficacy and safety of our metal-on-metal hip products. While continuing to dispute liability, we have participated in court supervised non-binding mediation in the MDL and expect to begin similar mediation in the JCCP.

Every metal-on-metal hip case involves fundamental issues of law, science and medicine that often are uncertain, that continue to evolve, and which present contested facts and issues that can differ significantly from case to case. Such contested facts and issues include medical causation, individual patient characteristics, surgery specific factors, statutes of limitation, and the existence of actual, provable injury.

The first bellwether trial in the MDL commenced on November 9, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia. On November 24, 2015, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the plaintiff $1 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages. We believe there were significant trial irregularities and vigorously contested the trial result. On December 28, 2015, we filed a post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law or, in the alternative, for a new trial or a reduction of damages awarded. On April 5, 2016, the trial judge issued an order reducing the punitive damage award from $10 million to $1.1 million, but otherwise denied our motion. On May 4, 2016, we filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Our appeal is pending. In light of the trial judge’s April 5^th order, we recorded an accrual for this verdict in the amount of $2.1 million within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities,” and a $2.1 million receivable associated with the probable recovery from product liability insurance is reflected within “Other current assets.”

The first bellwether trial in the JCCP, which was scheduled to commence on October 31, 2016, has been rescheduled to January 9, 2017. The parties are currently in an expert discovery and pre-trial procedure phase.

The first state court metal-on-metal hip trial not part of the MDL or JCCP commenced on October 24, 2016, in St. Louis, Missouri. As of November 3, 2016, that trial is in process and is being vigorously defended by WMT.

On November 1, 2016, WMT entered into a Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) with Court-appointed attorneys representing plaintiffs in the MDL and JCCP. Under the terms of the MSA, the parties agreed to settle 1,292 specifically identified claims associated with CONSERVE^®, DYNASTY^® and LINEAGE^® products that meet the eligibility requirements of the MSA and are either pending in the MDL or JCCP, or subject to court-approved tolling agreements in the MDL or JCCP, for a settlement amount of $240 million.

The $240 million settlement amount is a maximum settlement based on the pool of 1,292 specific, existing claims comprised of an identified mix of CONSERVE^®, DYNASTY^® and LINEAGE^® products (Initial Settlement Pool), with a value assigned to each product type, resulting in a total settlement of $240 million for the 1,292 claims in the Initial Settlement Pool. The actual settlement may be less, depending on several factors including the mix of products and claimants in the final settlement pool (Final Settlement Pool) and the number of claimants electing to “opt-out” of the settlement.

Actual settlements paid to individual claimants will be determined under the claims administration procedures contained in the MSA and may be more or less than the amounts used to calculate the $240 million settlement for the 1,292 claims in the Initial Settlement Pool. However in no event will variations in actual settlement amounts payable to individual claimants affect WMT’s maximum settlement obligation of $240 million or the manner in which it may be reduced due to opt outs, final product mix, or elimination of ineligible claims.

If it is determined a claim in the Initial Settlement Pool is ineligible due to failure to meet the eligibility criteria of the MSA, such claim will be removed and, where possible, replaced with a new eligible claim involving the same product, with the goal of having the number and mix of claims in the Final Settlement Pool (before opt-outs) equal, as nearly as possible, the number and mix of claims in the Initial Settlement Pool. Additionally, if any DYNASTY^® or LINEAGE^® claims in the Final Settlement Pool are determined to have been misidentified as CONSERVE^® claims, or vice versa, the total settlement amount will be adjusted based on the value for each product type (not to exceed $240 million).

The MSA contains specific eligibility requirements and establishes procedures for proof and administration of claims, negotiation and execution of individual settlement agreements, determination of the final total settlement amount, and funding of individual settlement amounts by WMT. Eligibility requirements include, without limitation, that the claimant has a claim pending or tolled in the MDL or JCCP, that the claimant has undergone a revision surgery within eight years of the original implantation surgery, and that the claim has not been identified by WMT as having possible statute of limitation issues. Claimants who have had bilateral revision surgeries will be counted as two claims but only to the extent both claims separately satisfy all eligibility criteria.

The MSA includes a 95% opt-in requirement, meaning the MSA may be terminated by WMT prior to any settlement disbursement if claimants holding greater than 5% of eligible claims in the Final Settlement Pool elect to “opt-out” of the settlement. WMT, in its sole discretion, may waive this 95% opt-in requirement. No funding of any individual plaintiff settlement will occur until the 95% opt-in requirement has been satisfied or waived.

WMT has agreed to escrow $150 million to secure its obligations under the MSA. The escrow fund will be returned to WMT if the MSA is terminated due to failure to meet the 95% opt-in requirement. As additional security, Wright Medical Group N.V., the indirect parent company of WMT, agreed to guaranty WMT’s obligations under the MSA.

The MSA was entered into solely as a compromise of the disputed claims being settled and is not evidence that any claim has merit nor is it an admission of wrongdoing or liability by WMT. WMT will continue to vigorously defend metal-on-metal hip claims not settled pursuant to the MSA. As of September 25, 2016, we estimate there were approximately 600 outstanding metal-on-metal hip revision claims that would not be included in the MSA settlement, including approximately 200 claims with an implant duration of more than eight years, approximately 300 claims subject to possible statute of limitations preclusion, approximately 30 claims pending in U.S courts other than the MDL and JCCP, approximately 50 claims pending in non-U.S. courts, and approximately 20 claims that would be eligible for inclusion in the settlement but for the participation limitations contained in the MSA. We also estimate that there were approximately 700 outstanding metal-on-metal hip non-revision claims as of September 25, 2016. These non-revision cases are excluded from the MSA.

As of September 25, 2016, our accrual for metal-on-metal claims totaled $250.9 million, of which $242.7 million is included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and $8.2 million is included within “Other liabilities.”  Our accrual is based on (i) case by case accruals for specific cases where facts and circumstances warrant, including the $2.1 million accrual associated with the MDL bellwether verdict, and (ii) the implied settlement values for eligible claims under the MSA (assuming, in the absence of opt-in data, a 100% opt-in rate). We are unable to reasonably estimate the high-end of a possible range of loss for claims which may in the future elect to opt-out of the MSA settlement. Claims we can confirm would meet MSA eligibility criteria but are excluded from settlement due to the $240 million maximum settlement cap, or because they are state cases not part of the MDL or JCCP, have been accrued as though included in the settlement. Due to the general uncertainties surrounding all metal-on metal claims as noted above, as well as insufficient information about individual claims, we are presently unable to reasonably estimate a range of loss for revision claims that (i) do not meet MSA eligibility criteria, or (ii) are future claims; hence we have not accrued for these claims at the present time. However, we believe the high-end of a possible range of loss for existing revision claims that do not meet MSA eligibility criteria will not, on an average per case basis, exceed the average per case accrual we have taken for revision claims we can confirm do meet MSA eligibility criteria. Future claims will be evaluated for accrual on a case by case basis using the accrual methodologies described above (which could change if future facts and circumstances warrant).

We have maintained product liability insurance coverage on a claims-made basis. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we received a customary reservation of rights from our primary product liability insurance carrier asserting that certain present and future claims which allege certain types of injury related to our CONSERVE^® metal-on-metal hip products (CONSERVE^® Claims) would be covered as a single occurrence under the policy year the first such claim was asserted. The effect of this coverage position would be to place CONSERVE^® Claims into a single prior policy year in which applicable claims-made coverage was available, subject to the overall policy limits then in effect. Management agrees that there is insurance coverage for the CONSERVE^® Claims, but has notified the carrier that it disputes the carrier's characterization of the CONSERVE^® Claims as a single occurrence.

In June 2014, St. Paul Surplus Lines Insurance Company (Travelers), which was an excess carrier in our coverage towers across multiple policy years, filed a declaratory judgment action in Tennessee state court naming us and certain of our other insurance carriers as defendants and asking the court to rule on the rights and responsibilities of the parties with regard to the CONSERVE^® Claims. Among other things, Travelers appears to dispute our contention that the CONSERVE^® Claims arise out of more than a single occurrence thereby triggering multiple policy periods of coverage.  Travelers further seeks a determination as to the applicable policy period triggered by the alleged single occurrence.  We filed a separate lawsuit in state court in California for declaratory judgment against certain carriers and breach of contract against the primary carrier, and have moved to dismiss or stay the Tennessee action on a number of grounds, including that California is the most appropriate jurisdiction. During the third quarter of 2014, the California Court granted Travelers' motion to stay our California action. On April 29, 2016, we filed a dispositive motion seeking partial judgment in our favor in the Tennessee action. On June 10, 2016, Travelers withdrew its motion for summary judgment in the Tennessee action.

On October 28, 2016, WMT and Wright Medical Group, Inc. (Wright Entities), entered into a Settlement Agreement, Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement and Policy Buyback Agreement (Insurance Settlement Agreement) with a subgroup of three insurance carriers, namely Columbia Casualty Company, Travelers and AXIS Surplus Lines Insurance Company (collectively, the Three Settling Insurers), pursuant to which the Three Settling Insurers agreed to pay WMT an aggregate of $60 million (in addition to $10 million previously paid by Columbia) in a lump sum on or before the 30^th business day after execution of the Insurance Settlement Agreement. This amount will be in full satisfaction of all potential liability of the Three Settling Insurers relating to metal-on-metal hip and similar metal ion release claims, including but not limited to all claims in the MDL and the JCCP, and all claims asserted by WMT against the Three Settling Insurers in the Tennessee action described above.

As part of the settlement, the Three Settling Insurers will buy back from WMT their policies in the five policy years beginning with the August 15, 2007- August 15, 2008 policy year (Repurchased Policy Years). Consequently, the Wright Entities will have no further coverage from the Three Settling Insurers for any present or future claims falling in the Repurchased Policy Years, or any other period in which a released claim is asserted. Additionally, the Insurance Settlement Agreement contains a so-called most favored nation provision which could require us to refund a pro rata portion of the settlement amount if we voluntarily enter into a settlement with the remaining carriers in the Repurchased Policy Years on certain terms more favorable than analogous terms in the Insurance Settlement Agreement. The Tennessee action will continue as to the remaining defendant insurers other than the Three Settling Insurers.

Management has recorded an insurance receivable of $68.7 million for the probable recovery of spending in excess of our retention for a single occurrence and for the anticipated proceeds from the settlement with the Three Settling Insurers described above. As of September 25, 2016, we have received $11.7 million of insurance proceeds, and our insurance carriers have paid a total of $4.6 million directly to claimants in connection with various settlements, which represents amounts undisputed by the carriers. Our acceptance of these proceeds was not a waiver of any other claim we may have against the insurance carriers. However, the amount we ultimately receive will depend on the outcome of our dispute with the remaining carriers (other than the Three Settling Carriers) concerning the number of policy years available. We believe our contracts with the insurance carriers are enforceable for these claims; and, therefore, we believe it is probable we will receive additional recoveries from the remaining carriers. Settlement discussions with the remaining insurance carriers continue.

Given the substantial or indeterminate amounts sought in these matters, and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, an adverse outcome in these matters in excess of the amounts included in our accrual for contingencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Future revisions to our estimates of these provisions could materially impact our results of operations and financial position. We use the best information available to determine the level of accrued product liabilities, and believe our accruals are adequate.

In June 2015, a jury returned a $4.4 million verdict against us in a case involving a fractured hip implant stem sold prior to the MicroPort closing.  This was a one-of-a-kind case unrelated to the modular neck fracture cases we have been reporting. There are no other cases pending related to this component, nor are we aware of other instances where this component has fractured. In September 2015, the trial judge reduced the jury verdict to $1.025 million and indicated that if the plaintiff did not accept the reduced award he would schedule a new trial solely on the issue of damages. The plaintiff elected not to accept the reduced damage award, and both parties have appealed. The Court has not set a date for a new trial on the issue of damages and we do not expect it will do so until the appeals are adjudicated. We will maintain our current $4.4 million accrual as a probable liability until the matter is resolved. The $4.4 million probable liability associated with this matter is reflected within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities,” and a $4 million receivable associated with the probable recovery from product liability insurance is reflected within “Other current assets.”

Other

In addition to those noted above, we are subject to various other legal proceedings, product liability claims, corporate governance, and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business.

Segment Data [Abstract]

Segment Data

Segment Information

During the first quarter of 2016, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, began managing our operations as four operating business segments: U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, International Extremities & Biologics, and Large Joints. We determined that each of these operating segments represented a reportable segment. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources and to assess the operating results and performance of each segment.  As a result of the classification of the Large Joints Business as a discontinued operation during the second quarter of 2016, the Large Joints reportable segment is presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations and is not included in segment results for all periods presented. See Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding this divestiture. U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, and International Extremities & Biologics are our remaining three reportable segments as of September 25, 2016.

Our U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics segment consists of our operations focused on the sale in the U.S. of our lower extremities products, such as joint implants and bone fixation devices for the foot and ankle and our biologics products used to support treatment of damaged or diseased bone, tendons, and soft tissues or to stimulate bone growth. Our U.S. Upper Extremities segment consists of our operations focused on the sale in the U.S. of our upper extremities products, such as joint implants and bone fixation devices for the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand and products used across several anatomic sites to mechanically repair tissue-to-tissue or tissue-to-bone injuries and other ancillary products. Our International Extremities and Biologics segment consists of our operations focused on the sale outside the U.S. of all lower and upper extremities products, including associated biologics products.

Management measures segment profitability using an internal operating performance measure that excludes the impact of inventory step-up amortization and due diligence, transaction and transition costs associated with acquisitions, as such items are not considered representative of segment results. Management's change to the way it monitors performance, aligns strategies, and allocates resources results in a change in our reportable segments and a change in reporting units for goodwill impairment measurement purposes. We have determined that each reportable segment represents a reporting unit and, in accordance with ASC 350, requires an allocation of goodwill to each reporting unit. As of September 25, 2016, we have allocated $219 million, $559 million, and $79 million of goodwill to the U.S. Lower Extremities & Biologics, U.S. Upper Extremities, and International Extremities & Biologics reportable segments, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Sep. 25, 2016

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Wright Medical Group N.V. have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial statements and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2015, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 23, 2016.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our interim financial results. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not indicative of results for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our domestic and international subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates.

Shipping and Handling Costs Policy

Shipping and Handling Costs. We incur shipping and handling costs associated with the shipment of goods to customers, independent distributors, and our subsidiaries. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling of products are included in net sales. Costs incurred related to shipping and handling of products to customers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts totaled $5.2 million and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, respectively, and $1.9 million and $6.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. All other shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Revenue Recognition Policy

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. On May 28, 2014 and August 12, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09 and 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, respectively, which supersede virtually all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The ASU provides a five-step model for revenue recognition that companies will apply to recognize revenue in a manner that reflects the timing of the transfer of services to customers and that the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that a company expects to receive for the goods and services provided. The ASU will be effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2018. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

Debt, Policy [Policy Text Block]

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. Further, on August 16, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated With Line-of-Credit Arrangements to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03. The SEC staff has announced that it would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2016 on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, we reclassified debt issuance costs on our December 27, 2015 consolidated balance sheet, which decreased other assets and long-term debt by $16.2 million

Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block]

On September 25, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. The ASU, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, was issued in response to stakeholder feedback that restatements of prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination increase the cost and complexity of financial reporting but do not significantly improve the usefulness of the information. Under this ASU, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined and must present these amounts separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. We adopted ASU 2015-16 in the first quarter of 2016 and have recognized adjustments to provisional amounts in the period they were determined as discussed in Note 3.

Lease, Policy [Policy Text Block]

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard (e.g., those related to evaluating when profit can be recognized). Furthermore, the ASU addresses other concerns related to the current leases model. The ASU will be effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2019. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts on the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Discontinued Operations. On October 21, 2016, pursuant to the previously disclosed binding offer letter, dated as of July 8, 2016, Tornier SAS (Tornier France), Corin Orthopaedics Holdings Limited (Corin), and certain other entities related to Tornier France and Corin entered into a business sale agreement (Sale Agreement) and simultaneously completed and closed the sale of our business operations operating under the large joints operating segment. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, Tornier France sold substantially all of our assets related to our hip and knee, or large joints, business (the Large Joints Business) to Corin for approximately €29.7 million in cash, less approximately €10.6 million for net working capital adjustments and subject to certain other closing adjustments.

All historical operating results for the Large Joints Business are reflected within discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Further, all assets and associated liabilities transferred to Corin were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. See Note 4 for further discussion of discontinued operations. Other than the discontinued operations discussed in Note 4, unless otherwise stated, all discussion of assets and liabilities in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements reflects the assets and liabilities held and used in our continuing operations, and all discussion of revenues and expenses reflects those associated with our continuing operations.

Shipping and Handling Costs. We incur shipping and handling costs associated with the shipment of goods to customers, independent distributors, and our subsidiaries. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling of products are included in net sales. Costs incurred related to shipping and handling of products to customers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts totaled $5.2 million and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, respectively, and $1.9 million and $6.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. All other shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. On May 28, 2014 and August 12, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09 and 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, respectively, which supersede virtually all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The ASU provides a five-step model for revenue recognition that companies will apply to recognize revenue in a manner that reflects the timing of the transfer of services to customers and that the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that a company expects to receive for the goods and services provided. The ASU will be effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2018. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. Further, on August 16, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated With Line-of-Credit Arrangements to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03. The SEC staff has announced that it would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2016 on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, we reclassified debt issuance costs on our December 27, 2015 consolidated balance sheet, which decreased other assets and long-term debt by $16.2 million.

On September 25, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. The ASU, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, was issued in response to stakeholder feedback that restatements of prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination increase the cost and complexity of financial reporting but do not significantly improve the usefulness of the information. Under this ASU, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined and must present these amounts separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. We adopted ASU 2015-16 in the first quarter of 2016 and have recognized adjustments to provisional amounts in the period they were determined as discussed in Note 3.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard (e.g., those related to evaluating when profit can be recognized). Furthermore, the ASU addresses other concerns related to the current leases model. The ASU will be effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2019. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends the guidance in ASC 230 on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of the ASU is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The ASU’s amendments add or clarify guidance on eight cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims. The guidance in the ASU is effective for us beginning in 2018 with early adoption permitted. We are in the initial phases of our adoption plans and; accordingly, we are unable to estimate any effect this may have on our financial statements.

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Line Items]

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

We account for derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. Additionally, changes in the derivatives' fair value shall be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.

FASB ASC Section 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges.

Level 2: Financial instruments determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3: Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to include any dilutive effect of our ordinary share equivalents. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, our ordinary share equivalents consisted of stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, our ordinary share equivalents consisted of stock options, non-vested ordinary shares, restricted stock units, and warrants. The dilutive effect of the stock options, non-vested ordinary shares, restricted stock units, and warrants is calculated using the treasury-stock method.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding for Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

The weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share purposes is as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 25, 2016	September 30, 2015	September 25, 2016	September 30, 2015

Weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding — diluted1	103,072	52,750	102,854	52,607

Antidilutive Potential Common Shares Resulting from Reasons Other Than Net Loss Incurred Excluded from the Diluted Earnings Per Share Computation

We had outstanding options to purchase 10.7 million ordinary shares and 1.4 million restricted stock units at September 25, 2016 and options to purchase 4.3 million ordinary shares and 0.3 million restricted stock units and restricted stock awards at September 30, 2015. None of the options, restricted stock units, or restricted stock awards were included in diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 30, 2015 because we recorded a net loss for all periods; and therefore, including these instruments would be anti-dilutive.

The weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share purposes is as follows (in thousands):
