Gregory Anglum 
 RE: Bioventus Phantom Profit Interests Award

 Dear Greg: 
 As Bioventus drives forward to become a global
leader in Orthobiologics, we will rely on the continued strong contribution of key leaders like yourself. In recognition, and as incentive for this contribution, our Board of Managers has approved an additional pool of Phantom Profits Interests
Units to be awarded to a select group of leaders who we believe will have the greatest impact in achieving our mission. You have been designated as one of these key leaders and, as a result, you are being granted 20,000 Phantom Profits Interests
Units. 
 This Performance Units Award is granted to you under, and is subject to, all of the terms of the Phantom Profits Interests Plan (“Plan”)
and the applicable Bioventus LLC Phantom Profits Interests Plan Award Agreement (“Award Agreement”). A copy of the Plan and your corresponding Award Agreement are included with this letter and I encourage you to review both documents
carefully. 
 We recognize that consistent and predictable revenue growth will be an important measure of our future success, and this growth is therefore a
key component for vesting of the 2018 Performance Units. The plan provides for cliff-vesting of the units on June 1, 2021, based on 2020 revenue attainment consistent with the projections specified below. The Vesting Schedule for 2018
Performance Units is as follows: 
  

			
	 Vesting Schedule:
	  	 Cliff vesting if, and only if, 2020 revenue growth is attained as outlined below:

 
 1.  Revenue is equal to or greater
than $391.8M, 100% of the units vest.
  

2.  Revenue is equal to or greater than $370.8M, 75% of the units vest and the remaining units expire.

 
 3.  Revenue is equal to or greater
than $350.6M, 50% of the units vest and the remaining units expire.
  

4.  Revenue is less than $350.6M, none of the units vest and all of the units expire.














 Shown below is an example of potential value of a PPI Unit at a Waterfall, and how the Waterfall
Distribution is calculated. The payout amounts shown below are provided for illustrative purposes and shall apply only to units vested pursuant to the above-referenced schedule. Actual payouts under the Plan may vary from those shown and are subject
to all of the terms of the Plan documents and applicable withholding requirements1.

 Payment Amount. 

(i) If the Payment Event is a Termination Payment Event, the Payment Amount shall be, for each vested Phantom Profits Interest Unit, an amount

pursuant to the LLC Agreement with respect to each such Waterfall Distribution Event. Such Payment Amount shall be paid to the Grantee within 30 days of the Termination Date, the Initial Waterfall Distribution Event, or any Qualifying Subsequent
Waterfall Distribution Event, as applicable. In the event that a Subsequent Waterfall Distribution Event is not a Qualifying Subsequent Waterfall Distribution Event, the Payment Amount with respect to such Subsequent Waterfall Distribution Event
shall be paid within 30 days of the Termination Date. No further Payment Amount shall be paid to the Grantee with respect to Waterfall Distribution Events following the Grantee’s Termination Date. 

(ii) Subject to (iii) below, if the Payment Event is a Waterfall Payment Event and a Waterfall Distribution Event occurs before the

Unit, (A) an amount that would be allocated to an equivalent number of Profits Interest Units with an equivalent Benchmark Amount if the Company were liquidated on the valuation date next following the Termination Date at fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Administrator) and (B) the amount specified in Section 5(b)(ii) above; provided that if a Waterfall Distribution Event occurs prior to the valuation date next following the Termination Date, the Payment
Amount shall be the amount specified in Section 5(b)(ii). Such Payment Amount shall be paid to the Grantee within 30 days of the Initial Waterfall Distribution Event, and for any Subsequent Waterfall Distribution Event, shall be paid to the
Grantee within 30 days of the earlier of a Qualifying Subsequent Waterfall Distribution Event or the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. No Payment Amount shall be paid to the Grantee with respect to any Subsequent Waterfall Distribution
Event that is not a Qualifying Subsequent Waterfall Distribution Event and that occurs after the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date. 

Acknowledgement by Grantee. All Awards shall be made conditional upon the Grantee’s acknowledgement, in writing or by acceptance

Amendment and Termination of the Plan 

Amendment and Termination. The Administrator may, in accordance with the LLC Agreement, amend the Plan or any Award under the Plan, or
terminate the Plan, at any time; provided that no amendment or termination of the Plan or any Award shall, without the consent of a Grantee, adversely impact the rights of any Grantee under any Award granted to such Grantee under the Plan, unless
necessary to meet the requirements of any applicable law or regulation. Before amending or terminating the Plan or any Award to meet the requirements of an applicable law or regulation, the Administrator will attempt to bring the Plan or Award into
compliance with the applicable law or regulation without reducing the benefits or payments to a Grantee to the greatest extent possible. If amendment or termination is still necessary and adversely impacts the rights of a Grantee, the Administrator
will reasonably cooperate with such Grantee to adopt replacement benefits or payments that to the greatest extent possible places the Grantee in the same or a comparable economic position as if the Plan or Award had not been amended or terminated.

 Governing Document. In the event of any conflict between any Award in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or B and the LLC
Agreement, such Award shall control. In the event of any conflict between any subsequent Award not in the form attached hereto and the LLC Agreement, the LLC agreement shall control unless such subsequent Award has been approved by the Board and
Smith & Nephew, Inc., in which case such Award shall control. No other statements, representations, explanatory materials or examples, oral or written, may amend the Plan in any manner. The Plan shall be binding upon and enforceable against
the Company and its successors and assigns. 

  
 13 













 Funding of the Plan 

This Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of
assets to assure the payment of any Awards under this Plan. In no event shall interest be paid or accrued on any Award. 
 Rights of Grantees

 No Award shall entitle any Grantee to any (i) voting rights with respect to any action or decision taken or made (or to be
taken or made) by the Company or the Board of Managers, (ii) right to appoint Managers to the Board of Managers, or (iii) appraisal or preemption rights. Nothing in this Plan shall entitle any Employee, Board Member or any other person to
any claim or right to receive an Award under this Plan. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any individual any rights to be retained by or in the employ of the Company or any other employment rights.
