 or other nominee or custodian as to how to vote your shares on Proposals 1, 3, 4 or 5, the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee or custodian may not exercise discretion to vote for or against those proposals because each of these proposals is considered “non-routine” under applicable rules. With respect to Proposal 2, the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee or custodian may exercise its discretion to vote for or against that proposal in the absence of your instruction. Broker non-votes are not counted as votes in favor of or against any proposal. Therefore, we encourage you to instruct your broker, bank, or other nominee to vote your shares by executing and returning the enclosed voting instruction form or by voting via the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions provided on the enclosed voting instruction form. To the extent broker non-votes arise in the circumstances noted above where a broker exercises discretionary authority with respect to Proposal 2, such broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast or present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote with respect to the election of directors (Proposal 1) or on Proposals 3, 4 or 5. What constitutes a quorum at the Annual Meeting? A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. Our Bylaws provide that a quorum will exist if stockholders holding a majority in voting power of the shares of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present at the Annual Meeting in person, present by means of remote communication or by proxy. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned until a quorum is obtained. Pacira BioSciences, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement | 121
