Contractual Obligations and Commitments

On October 17, 2025, we announced our entry into a definitive agreement to acquire 100 percent of Nalu Medical, Inc. (Nalu Medical), a privately held medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative and minimally invasive solutions for patients with chronic pain. We have been an investor in Nalu Medical since 2017 and currently hold an equity stake of approximately nine percent. The transaction price to acquire the remaining stake is expected to result in an upfront cash payment of approximately $533 million upon closing. The transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. We plan to fund the acquisition with cash on hand. The Nalu Medical business will be integrated into our Neuromodulation division.

Certain of our acquisitions involve the payment of contingent consideration. Refer to Note B – Acquisitions and Strategic Investments to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details regarding the estimated potential amount of future contingent consideration we could be required to pay associated with our acquisitions.
