Resignation of Keith C. Valentine from Board of Directors
On October 4, 2023, Keith C. Valentine resigned as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Orthofix Medical Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Valentine’s Board resignation stated that it was not being tendered because of any disagreement with the Company relating to its operations, policies or practices. However, such Board resignation noted that it does not constitute an agreement by Mr. Valentine with the determination by the Board to terminate the employment of Mr. Valentine, John Bostjancic and Patrick Keran for cause on September 11, 2023, and does not constitute a waiver of any claims related to such matters. On October 4, 2023, following the receipt of Mr. Valentine’s resignation, the Board resolved to reduce the size of the Board from nine to eight seats, effective immediately.
Compensation Arrangements with Interim Chief Executive Officer
On October 4, 2023, the Board, following the recommendation of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of the Board, approved new compensation arrangements for Catherine M. Burzik, the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer. Under these arrangements, Ms. Burzik will receive (i) an annual base salary amount of $825,000 during her period of service as Interim Chief Executive Officer, with a target annual incentive program bonus equal to 110% of the base salary amount accrued during such period of service, and (ii) an immediate cash bonus of $100,000 (calculated on an after-tax basis, with the intent of such bonus compensating her for relocation and other personal-related matters in connection with the initiation of such service). Effective as of the close of business on October 15, 2023, Ms. Burzik has been granted RSUs with a fair market value of $1,500,000.
