As provided for in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in nominating director candidates, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee strives to nominate directors that exhibit high standards of ethics, integrity, commitment, and accountability. In addition, our Corporate Governance Guidelines state that all nominations should attempt to ensure that the Board shall encompass a range of talent, skills, and expertise sufficient to provide sound guidance with respect to our operations and activities. Other than as set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines with respect to the Board’s objective in seeking directors with a collective diversity and range of talent, skills and expertise, the Board and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee do not have a formal policy with respect to the ethnic or gender diversity of directors, but consider guidelines issued by regulatory agencies and the policies and input of institutional investors.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, directors must inform the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee in advance of accepting an invitation to serve on another company’s board of directors. In addition, no director may sit on the board of directors of, or beneficially own a significant financial interest in, any business that is a material competitor of Orthofix. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews any applicable facts and circumstances relating to any such potential conflict of interest and determines in its reasonable discretion whether a conflict exists.

To recommend a director nominee, a shareholder may send a notice addressed to The Board of Directors, Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee of Orthofix Medical Inc., 3451 Plano Parkway, Lewisville, TX 75056. This notice must be received in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements of our Bylaws and must include certain information regarding the candidate, a statement of the qualifications of the candidate, taking into account the qualification requirements set forth above, and the candidate’s signed consent to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as a director if elected. See the section titled, “Information About Shareholder Proposals,” below, for additional information. Once we receive the recommendation, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee will determine whether to contact the candidate to request that he or she provide us with additional information about the candidate’s independence, qualifications and other information that would assist the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee in evaluating the candidate, as well as certain information that must be disclosed about the candidate in our proxy statement, if nominated. Candidates must respond to our inquiries within the time frame
