**Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

The information set forth below under Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Restructuring Support Agreement and the DIP Credit Agreements (each defined below) is incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.**

Effective October 1, 2019, Invacare Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Master Services Agreement (the "Master Services Agreement") with Birlasoft Solutions Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Birlasoft"), which are part of The CK Birla Group, to outsource substantially all of the Company's information technology business service activities, including, among other things, support, rationalization and upgrading of the Company's legacy information technology systems and implementation of a global enterprise resource planning system and eCommerce platform. On January 27, 2023, the Company terminated the Master Services Agreement following Birlasoft's breach of the Master Services Agreement, including but not limited to Birlasoft's failure to meet transformation milestones, failure to provide services, and breach of representations, warranties and covenants in the Master Services Agreement.

**Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.**

***Chapter 11 Filing***

On January 31, 2023 (the "Petition Date"), the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company Parties") filed a voluntary petition under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court") to implement the Restructuring Transactions (as defined below) contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Plan (as defined below) (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). On the Petition Date, the Company Parties filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to jointly administer the Chapter 11 Cases under the caption "*In re: Invacare Corporation, et al.*" Certain of the Company's subsidiaries in the United States and the Company's international subsidiaries, including those in Europe, Canada, Mexico, and in the Asia-Pacific regions were not included in the Chapter 11 filing.

The Company Parties continue to operate their business and manage their properties as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. To ensure the Company Parties' ability to complete a plan of reorganization and continue operating in the ordinary course of business and minimize the effect of the Restructuring on the Company Parties' customers, suppliers, vendors, and employees, the Company Parties filed with the Bankruptcy Court motions seeking a variety of "first-day" relief, including authority to pay employee wages and benefits and to pay vendors and suppliers for goods and services provided both before and after the filing date.

***Restructuring Support Agreement***

On January 31, 2023, the Company Parties entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the "Restructuring Support Agreement") with certain of their prepetition stakeholders (the "Consenting Stakeholders"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this subsection shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Consenting Stakeholders

------

represent holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Company Parties' debt obligations under various debt agreements.

Under the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Consenting Stakeholders have agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to support a financial restructuring (the "Restructuring") of the existing debt of, existing equity interests in, and certain other obligations of the Company Parties, pursuant to a prearranged plan of reorganization (the "Plan") to be filed in the Chapter 11 Cases.

The Plan will be implemented in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement and that certain restructuring term sheet (the "Restructuring Term Sheet"), attached to and incorporated into the Restructuring Support Agreement (such transactions described in, and in accordance with, the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet, the "Restructuring Transactions") which, among other things, contemplates:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a $70 million debtor-in-possession term loan financing facility, which includes a "roll-up" of $35 million of the Company's outstanding prepetition term loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a $17.4 million in debtor-in-possession revolving credit facility comprised of (a) $11.6 million in undrawn commitments, of which $3.4 million will be used to cash collateralize certain letters of credit, and (b) a "roll-up" of $5.8 million in drawn commitments under the prepetition revolving credit facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a preferred equity rights offering to holders of unsecured notes and general unsecured claims for an aggregate subscription price of $60 million (the "Aggregate Subscription Price"), fully backstopped by an ad hoc group composed of certain holders of the unsecured notes (collectively, the "Backstop Parties") pursuant to the Backstop Commitment Agreement (as defined below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance of New Common Equity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exit financing in the form of (a) a senior secured first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $85 million, (b) senior first lien secured convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $41.5 million, and (c) the ability to enter into one or more revolving credit facilities.

The Restructuring Support Agreement, the Restructuring Term Sheet and the Plan also provide for the following stakeholder recoveries and treatment, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Lenders under the DIP Credit Agreements (defined below) shall receive, as applicable and unless otherwise agreed, (i) payment in full in cash or (ii) partial payment in cash with the remaining obligations to be rolled into post-closing financing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Lenders under the DIP Term Loan Facility shall receive their pro rata share of the Exit Term Loan Facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Holders of Secured Notes shall receive their pro rata share of the Exit Secured Convertible Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Holders of unsecured notes shall receive: (a) the opportunity to participate in the Rights Offering (including the preferred exchange) on a pro rata basis with other holders of unsecured notes and general unsecured claims and (b) to the extent such holders have any residual unsecured notes claim, their pro rata share of 100% of the New Common Equity (subject to dilution by the Exit Secured Convertible Notes, the New Preferred Equity, the backstop equity premium and the Management Incentive Plan).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Holders of general unsecured claims shall receive: (i) (a) the opportunity to participate in the Rights Offering (including the preferred exchange) on a pro rata basis with holders of unsecured notes and other general unsecured claims and (b) to the extent such holders have any residual general unsecured claims, their pro rata share of 100% of the New Common Equity (subject to

------

dilution by the Exit Secured Convertible Notes, the New Preferred Equity, the backstop equity premium and the Management Incentive Plan); or (ii) such other consideration as is mutually agreed, including the option to elect to be paid in cash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's outstanding common shares will be cancelled and extinguished without any distribution, and holders of the Company's common shares will not receive or retain any distribution or other value on account of their common shares.

Although the Company intends to pursue the Restructuring in accordance with the terms set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing a restructuring or any other similar transaction on the terms set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement, on different terms or at all.

***Backstop Commitment Agreement***

As contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, on January 31, 2023, the Company Parties entered into a Backstop Commitment Agreement (the "Backstop Commitment Agreement") with the Backstop Parties, pursuant to which each of the Backstop Parties has agreed to backstop, severally and not jointly and subject to the terms and conditions in the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Aggregate Subscription Price (collectively, the "Backstop Commitment"). The Backstop Commitment Agreement provides that each of the Backstop Parties will, subject to the terms and conditions in the Backstop Commitment Agreement (i) subscribe for, and at the closing, purchase the New Preferred Equity offered to such Backstop Party in connection with the Rights Offering and (ii) purchase its agreed percentage (the "Backstop Commitment Percentage") of the New Preferred Equity representing the unsubscribed portion of the New Preferred Equity issued in the Rights Offering. As consideration for entering into the Backstop Commitment Agreement, each Backstop Party will receive, upon the closing of the Rights Offering, its Backstop Commitment Percentage of $12 million in aggregate amount, which amount shall be payable in the form of New Common Equity. The Backstop Commitment Agreement provides for the payment of a termination premium of $6 million upon certain events of the termination as set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement.

***DIP Credit Agreements***

The Company and certain lenders (the "DIP Parties") have agreed to a superpriority, senior secured and priming debtor-in-possession term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $70 million subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (the "Term DIP Credit Agreement") and a superpriority senior secured and priming debtor-in-possession asset-based revolving facility in an aggregate amount of $17.4 million subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (the "ABL DIP Credit Agreement" and together with the Term DIP Credit Agreement, the "DIP Credit Agreements").

The DIP Credit Agreements include conditions precedent, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default customary for financings of this type and size. The proceeds of all or a portion of the proposed DIP Credit Agreements may be used for, among other things, post-petition working capital for the Company and its subsidiaries, payment of costs to administer the Chapter 11 Cases, payment of expenses and fees of the transactions contemplated by the Chapter 11 Cases, payment of court-approved adequate protection obligations under the DIP Credit Agreements, and payment of other costs in an approved budget and other such purposes permitted under the DIP Credit Agreements.

The foregoing description of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the DIP Credit Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Backstop Commitment Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

On January 30, 2023 the Company completed the sale of its respiratory business assets (the "Transaction") to Ventec Life Systems, Inc, a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of React Health, LLC (the "Purchaser"), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of January 30, 2023 (the "Purchase Agreement"). The purchase price paid by the Purchaser in the Transaction was $11,925,644 in cash payable at closing, and the Company estimates net proceeds from the Transaction are approximately $11,500,000 after fees and expenses.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary indemnification obligations of each party with respect to breaches of their respective representations, warranties and covenants, and certain other specified matters, which are subject to certain exceptions, terms and limitations described further in the Purchase Agreement. The Company agreed to non-competition obligations with respect to respiratory products for a five-year period following the Transaction, which are more fully described in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Company entered into a supply agreement and a transition services agreement with the Purchaser to provide for, among other matters, the ongoing parts and service and support for the warranty and non-warranty service of respiratory products in the field.

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 2.01 by reference. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement.

**Item 2.02.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Results of Operations and Financial Condition.**

**Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.**

The information set forth under Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the DIP Credit Agreements is incorporated herein by reference.

------

**Item 2.04. Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.**

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constitutes an event of default that accelerated the Company's obligations under its outstanding (i) 5.68% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2026, Tranche I (the "Tranche I Secured Notes"), (ii) 5.68% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2026, Tranche II (the "Tranche II Secured Notes"), (iii) 5.00% Convertible Senior Exchange Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes, Series I"), (iv) 5.00% Series II Convertible Senior Exchange Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes, Series II"), (v) 4.25% Convertible Senior Exchange Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") and (vi) the Company's outstanding prepetition term loan facility ("the Prepetition Term Loan Agreement") and the Company's outstanding prepetition revolving credit facility (the "Prepetition ABL Agreement" and together with the Term Loan Agreement, the "Prepetition Credit Agreements").

As of the Petition Date, the Company had an aggregate of (i) $20,739,000 in aggregate principal amount of Tranche I Secured Notes, (ii) $20,736,000 in aggregate principal amount of Tranche II Secured Notes, (iii) $72,909,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes, Series I, (iv) $77,758,161 in aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes, Series II, (v) $69,700,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes, (vi) $5.8 million with $6.5 million in reserve of the Prepetition ABL Agreement and (vii) $90,500,000 in principal of the Prepetition Term Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed most actions against the applicable debtor, including actions to collect indebtedness incurred prior to the Petition Date or to exercise control over the applicable debtor's property. Subject to certain exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also automatically stayed the continuation of most legal proceedings or the filing of other actions against or on behalf of the applicable debtor or its property to recover on, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the Petition Date or to exercise control over property of the applicable debtor's bankruptcy estates, unless and until the Bankruptcy Court modifies or lifts the automatic stay as to any such claim. Notwithstanding the general application of the automatic stay described above, governmental authorities may determine to continue actions brought under their police and regulatory powers.

**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.**

***Press Release***

On February 1, 2023, the Company issued a press release in connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

***Cleansing Material***

Prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, and in connection with discussions with certain of the Company's debt holders with respect to potential strategic or capital markets transactions to enhance the Company's capital structure, the Company entered into confidentiality agreements (collectively, the "NDAs") in which the Company agreed to publicly disclose certain information, including material non-public information thereunder (the "Cleansing Materials"), upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the NDAs. The Company is furnishing the Cleansing Materials as Exhibit 99.2 hereto in satisfaction of its obligations under the NDAs.

***Additional Information on the Chapter 11 Cases***

------

Court filings and information about the Chapter 11 Cases can be found at a website maintained by the Company's claims agent Epiq at http://dm.epiq11.com/Invacare. The documents and other information available via website or elsewhere are not part of this Current Report and shall not be deemed incorporated therein.

The information furnished in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and the Cleansing Materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

In connection with entry into the DIP Credit Agreements, the Company also entered into (i) an amendment to the Prepetition Term Loan Agreement to permit entry into the DIP Credit Agreements and (ii) an intercreditor agreement (the "Intercreditor Agreement") among the finance parties under the finance parties under the DIP Credit Agreements and the finance parties under the Prepetition Credit Agreements and the finance parties under the indentures described below.

***Cautionary Note Regarding the Company's Common Shares***

The Company cautions that trading in the Company's securities (including, without limitation, the Company's common shares) during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company's securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company's securities in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects that holders of shares of the Company's common shares could experience a significant or complete loss on their investment, depending on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Further, the Cleansing Materials described above were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure and should not be relied upon to make an investment decision with respect to the Company. The Cleansing Materials include certain potential values for illustrative purposes only and such values are not the result of, and do not represent, actual valuations, estimates, forecasts or projections by any third party, the Company or its subsidiaries and should not be relied upon as such. Neither the Company nor any third party has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the accuracy of the Cleansing Materials or the ultimate outcome of any potential restructuring transaction, and none of them undertakes any obligation to publicly update the Cleansing Materials to reflect circumstances existing after the date when the Cleansing Materials were prepared or conveyed or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Cleansing Materials are shown to be in error.

***Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements***

Forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and similar words.

------

These statements are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including risks and uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to successfully complete a restructuring under Chapter 11; consummation of a plan of reorganization; potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company's liquidity and results of operations; the Company's ability to obtain timely approval by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the motions filed in the Chapter 11 Cases; objections to the Company's recapitalization process, DIP Credit Agreements, or other pleadings filed that could protract the Chapter 11 Cases; employee attrition and the Company's ability to retain senior management and other key personnel due to the distractions and uncertainties; the Company's ability to comply with the restrictions imposed by the terms and conditions of the DIP Credit Agreements and other financing arrangements; the Company's ability to maintain relationships with suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties and regulatory authorities as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases; the effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company and on the interests of various constituents, including holders of the Company's common shares; the Bankruptcy Court's rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases, including the approvals of the terms and conditions of any plan of reorganization and the DIP Credit Agreements, and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases generally; the length of time that the Company will operate under Chapter 11 protection and the continued availability of operating capital during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases; risks associated with third party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, which may interfere with the Company's ability to consummate a plan of reorganization or an alternative restructuring; increased administrative and legal costs related to the Chapter 11 process; and other litigation and inherent risks involved in a bankruptcy process.

Forward-looking statements are also subject to the risk factors and cautionary language described from time to time in the reports the Company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including those in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any updates thereto in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in such forward-looking statements.

No indemnification obligations shall be owed by Invacare pursuant to <u>Section 7.02</u> until the aggregate claims thereunder exceed $100,000 (the "<u>Threshold</u>"), at which time such Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be jointly entitled, in the aggregate, to indemnification for the amount exceeding the Threshold amount, up to the Cap; the aggregate indemnification or payment obligations to the Buyer by Invacare arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, the breach hereof or thereof (whether arising in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise), shall in no event exceed the Cap, subject to liability pursuant to <u>Section 7.02(a)</u> relating solely to Fundamental Representations, which indemnification obligations shall not have a Cap.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)For purposes of this ARTICLE VII, the amount of any indemnifiable Losses in respect of any representations and warranties of Invacare set forth in ARTICLE IV of this Agreement containing any materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification or exception shall be determined without regard to such qualifications or exceptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event any Buyer Indemnified Party is finally determined, by written agreement executed by Invacare or a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, to be entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, such Buyer Indemnified Party's sole recourse for such Losses shall be the right to set-off such Losses against the amounts payable by the Buyer to Invacare as Commission Payments on a dollar-for-dollar basis in an amount equal to the aggregate dollar value so determined, up to the amount of the Cap (unless there is a breach of a Fundamental Representation, in which case there shall be no Cap). In the event the amounts payable by Buyer as Commission Payments are set-off pursuant to this <u>Section 7.04</u>, such payments shall no longer be due or payable by the Buyer hereunder nor shall such indemnification claim to such Buyer Indemnified Party be due or payable.

**Section 1.05Indemnification Procedures.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Third-Party Claims</u>. If any Buyer Indemnified Party or Invacare Indemnified Party (each, an "<u>Indemnified Party</u>") receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a "<u>Third-Party Claim</u>") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which a Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement and/or the Transaction Documents (each, an "<u>Indemnifying Party</u>"), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof which notice shall be within fifteen (15) days of receipt. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days thereafter, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; *provided*, *however*, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) such Third-Party Claim relates to, or arises in connection with, any criminal, civil, or administrative action, investigation, audit, or other proceeding instituted by a Governmental Authority, (ii) a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or (iii) such Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel

------

selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim within the time frame set forth above or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such thirty (30)-day period, then the Indemnified Party may, subject to <u>Section 7.05(b)</u>, pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Invacare and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of <u>Section 6.07</u>) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Settlement of Third-Party Claims</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into the settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this <u>Section 7.05(b)</u>. If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and (i) provides for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment, or term that in any manner affects, restrains, or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party's Affiliates, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to <u>Section 7.05(a)</u>, it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Direct Claims</u>. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a "<u>Direct Claim</u>") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof (the "<u>Claims Notice</u>"). The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a Claims Notice, that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VII or the amount thereof, the Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Claims Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VII, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any Claims Notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion of the Direct Claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion of such Direct Claim) becomes finally determined. In the event that the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such Direct Claim as provided above, as promptly as possible, such Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of

------

such Direct Claim (by mutual agreement, litigation, arbitration or otherwise) and, within ten (10) Business Days following the final determination of the merits and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to such Direct Claim as determined hereunder.

**Section 1.06Mitigation of Losses.** Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses arising under any Third-Party Claim; <u>provided</u>, that nothing set forth in this Agreement shall create an affirmative obligation of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to submit such a claim to its insurers.

**Section 1.07Reliance**. The Parties expressly agree and acknowledge that Buyer is relying upon each of the representations and warranties of Invacare made in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and that Buyer would not be willing to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Documents if any limitations were placed on such reliance. The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.

**Section 1.08Satisfaction**. Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VII shall be made promptly upon a final settlement among the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties or upon a final adjudication determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with this ARTICLE VII that an obligation is owing by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party.

**Section 1.09Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.** All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

**Section 1.10Exclusive Remedies.** The indemnification provisions contained in this ARTICLE VII will constitute the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy of the Parties for recovery of Losses, except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this ARTICLE VII will not restrict the right of any party to seek specific performance or other equitable remedies to which such party is entitled under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

**ARTICLE VIII<br>MISCELLANEOUS**

**Section 1.01Buyer's Right of Set-Off**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, Buyer may set off any amount to which it may be entitled under this Agreement or any Transaction Document including, without limitation, those amounts due by Invacare to Buyer pursuant to ARTICLE VII hereof or under the Supply Agreement, against any amounts otherwise payable by Buyer to Invacare under this Agreement or any Transaction Document including, without limitation, the Commission Payments. If at the time for payment for any Commission Payment, a Third-Party Claim or a Direct Claim (collectively, a "<u>Buyer Indemnification Claim</u>") has been asserted by Buyer but Invacare's obligation with respect thereto has not been finally determined or agreed upon, Buyer may withhold payment of such portion of the Commission Payment as shall be sufficient to pay and reimburse Buyer for all Losses upon which the Buyer Indemnification Claim is based and shall not be required to pay such withheld amount over to Invacare until five (5) days following the final determination or agreement that Invacare is not obligated to the Buyer with respect to such Buyer Indemnification Claim or, if obligated, Invacare has paid and satisfied such Buyer Indemnification Claim in full.

**Section 1.02Expenses.** Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors, and accountants,

**Section 1.07Entire Agreement.** This Agreement and the Transaction Documents constitute one integrated agreement, were negotiated and entered into simultaneously as integrated parts of one unified transaction with a common purpose.

**Section 1.12Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Backstop Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase, and the Company Parties agree to sell, and to cause New Intermediate Holding Company to sell, to such Backstop Party, on the Effective Date for the applicable aggregate Purchase Price, the number of Unsubscribed Shares equal to (i) such Backstop Party's Backstop Commitment Percentage multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of Unsubscribed Shares (rounded among the Backstop Parties solely to avoid fractional shares of New Preferred Equity as the Backstop Parties may determine in their sole discretion) (the "**<u>Backstop Commitment</u>**"); *provided*, however, that, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Azurite shall initially be allocated and have the obligation to purchase the Initial Azurite Allocation of any Unsubscribed Shares and the obligation to purchase any Unsubscribed Shares in excess of the Initial Azurite Allocation shall be allocated to and purchased by all of the Backstop Parties (other than Azurite) based on their respective Backstop Commitment Percentages, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. As used in the immediately preceding sentence, "**<u>Initial Azurite Allocation</u>**" shall mean the difference between (x) $3,000,000 and (y) the Purchase Price of all Subscription Shares which Azurite is obligated to purchase pursuant to its Subscription Commitment.

Section 1.3**<u>Backstop Party Default</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company to all Backstop Parties of a Backstop Party Default, which notice shall be given promptly to all Backstop Parties substantially concurrently following the occurrence of such Backstop Party Default (such five (5) Business Day period, which may be extended with the consent of the Required Backstop Parties and the Company Parties, the "**<u>Backstop Party Replacement Period</u>**"), the Backstop Parties and their respective Related Funds (other than any Defaulting Backstop Party) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make arrangements for one or more of the Backstop Parties (other than any Defaulting Backstop Party) to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares (such purchase, a "**<u>Backstop Party Replacement</u>**") on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such amounts as may be agreed upon by all of the Backstop Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares, or, if no such agreement is reached, based upon the applicable Backstop Commitment Percentage of any such Backstop Parties and their respective Related Purchasers (other than any Defaulting Backstop Party) (such Backstop Parties, the "**<u>Replacement Backstop Parties</u>**").

For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the Plan, the allocation of Exchangeable Preferred Equity which each Backstop Party shall receive pursuant to the Plan in connection with its purchase of New Money Preferred Equity in the Rights Offering shall be based upon the total amount of New Money Preferred Equity which it purchases pursuant to its Subscription Commitment, Backstop Commitment or its agreement to purchase Available Shares as a Replacement Backstop Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Backstop Party is a Defaulting Backstop Party, (x) it shall not be entitled to any of the Backstop Commitment Premium, Backstop Commitment Termination Premium, or any expense reimbursement applicable solely to such Defaulting Backstop Party (including the Expense Reimbursement) provided, or to be provided, under or in connection with this Agreement, and (y) it and its Affiliates, equity holders, members, partners, general partners, managers and its and their respective Representatives and controlling persons shall not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to <u>Article IX</u> hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, No Backstop Commitment Premium or Backstop Commitment Termination Premium shall be payable to any of the Backstop Parties (including, for avoidance of doubt, a Backstop Party who is not a Defaulting Backstop Party) in the event of any Backstop Party Default unless all of the Available Shares are purchased and actually funded by one or more Replacement Backstop Parties in accordance with <u>Section 2.3</u>.

Section 1.2**<u>Indemnification Procedure</u>**.

Notwithstanding anything in this <u>Article IX</u> to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Indemnified Claims as contemplated by this <u>Article IX</u>, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent if (a) such settlement is entered into more than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request for reimbursement and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld, conditioned or delayed in the Indemnified Person's sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

Section 1.4**<u>Contribution</u>**. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to <u>Section 9.1</u>, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company Parties pursuant to the issuance and sale of the Rights Offering Shares in the Rights Offering contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Backstop Commitment Premium paid or proposed to be paid to the Backstop Parties. Subject to <u>Section 10.6</u>, the Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or contributory negligence or otherwise to the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an Indemnified Claim.

Section 1.5**<u>Treatment of Indemnification Payments</u>**. All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this <u>Article IX</u> shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Backstop Commitment Premium or the Backstop Commitment Termination Premium of such Indemnified Person, as the case may be, or, to the extent arising after the Closing Date, the Purchase Price of the Rights Offering Shares subscribed for by such Indemnified Person in the Rights Offering, or the Unsubscribed Shares purchased by such Indemnified Person, as applicable. The provisions of this <u>Article IX</u> are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Backstop Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The obligations of the Company Parties under this <u>Article IX</u> shall constitute allowed administrative

------

expenses of the Company Parties' estates under Sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and that the Company Parties may comply with the requirements of this <u>Article IX</u> without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 1.6**<u>No Survival</u>**. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing Date except for covenants and agreements that by their express terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification and other obligations of each of the Company Parties pursuant to this <u>Article IX</u> and the other obligations set forth in <u>Section 10.6</u> shall survive the Closing Date until the latest date permitted by applicable Law and, if applicable, be assumed by each of the Reorganized Company Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This Agreement (including the exhibits, the schedules, and the other documents and instruments referred to herein and in the RSA) constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements or understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except that the Parties hereto acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed between or among the Parties and the RSA (including the Restructuring Term Sheet) will each continue in full force and effect.

Section 1.4**<u>Governing Law; Venue</u>**. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH (a) THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD FOR ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD APPLY THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, AND TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. THE PARTIES CONSENT AND AGREE THAT ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SUCH DISPUTES ARISE IN LAW OR EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS, INSTRUMENTS AND DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT (OR, SOLELY TO THE EXTENT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT DECLINES JURISDICTION OVER SUCH ACTION OR DISPUTE, IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY).

Any facsimile or electronic signature shall be treated in all respects as having the same effect as having an original signature.

Section 1.7**<u>Waivers and Amendments; Rights Cumulative; Consent</u>**. This Agreement may be amended, restated, modified or changed only by a written instrument (with email being sufficient) signed by the Company Parties and the Required Backstop Parties;

------

*provided* that (a) any Backstop Party's prior written consent shall be required for any amendment that would, directly or indirectly: (i) increase such Backstop Party's Purchase Price in respect of its Rights Offering Shares, (ii) modify such Backstop Party's *pro rata* share of the Backstop Commitment Percentage, Backstop Commitment Premium, or Backstop Commitment Termination Premium relative to the other Backstop Parties' (at the time of such amendment) *pro rata* share of the same, or (i) otherwise disproportionately and materially adversely affects such Backstop Party; and (b) the prior written consent of each Backstop Party shall be required for any amendment that would, directly or indirectly modify a Significant Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, <u>Schedule 2</u> shall be revised as necessary without requiring a written instrument signed by the Company Parties and the Required Backstop Parties to reflect conforming changes in the composition of the Backstop Parties and Backstop Commitment Percentages as a result of Transfers permitted and consummated in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than the conditions set forth in <u>Section 8.1</u> and <u>Section 8.4</u>, the waiver of which shall be governed solely by <u>Article VIII</u>) may be waived (A) by the Company Parties only by a written instrument executed by the Company Parties and (B) by the Required Backstop Parties only by a written instrument executed by the Required Backstop Parties.

Section 1.15**<u>Enforceability of Agreement</u>**. Each of the Parties waives any right to assert that the exercise of termination rights under this Agreement is subject to the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and expressly stipulates and consents hereunder to the prospective modification of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of exercising termination rights under this Agreement, to the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that such relief is required.

**INVACARE CORPORATION TAKES ACTION TO STRENGTHEN ITS FINANCIAL POSITION AND DRIVE LONG-TERM GROWTH THROUGH VOLUNTARY PREARRANGED CHAPTER 11 CASES THAT DO NOT INCLUDE ITS INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS**

*Refinancing action will reduce net debt by approximately 65%*

*Global manufacturing and delivery of products to continue uninterrupted to meet robust customer demand* 

*Strong sequential improvement achieved in preliminary 4Q22 financial results*

*Executed strategic actions accelerating a renewed focus on core businesses*

**ELYRIA, OH (February 1, 2023)** - Invacare Corporation (NYSE: IVC) ("Invacare" or "the company"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment used in non-acute care settings, today announced actions to strengthen the company and position it for long-term success.

To facilitate its financial restructuring, the company has entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the "RSA" or "Agreement") with substantially all of its debt holders, including its term loan lender, all of the holders of convertible senior secured notes, and holders of a majority of its convertible senior unsecured notes. The Agreement provides for a significant reduction of the company's debt balance and a substantial new money investment, which will enhance the company's liquidity, thereby enabling it to invest for future growth. Specifically, the transactions agreed to in the RSA contemplates a substantial reduction of the company's funded debt by approximately $240 million. In addition, the RSA includes a backstop for a rights offering to holders of claims on account of the company's unsecured notes and holders of general unsecured claims, providing the company with $60 million of equity capital to repay certain of its debt obligations and facilitate the company's transformation plan.

To effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, Invacare and two of its U.S. based subsidiaries commenced voluntary Chapter 11 cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the "Court"). Invacare's other businesses throughout the rest of the world remain strong and are not included in these filings. The company does not anticipate these filings to impact its ability to manufacture and deliver products to its customers globally.

Geoff Purtill, president and chief executive officer at Invacare commented, "The actions announced today mark a big step forward for Invacare. Having the full support of our secured term loan lender and a majority of our convertible noteholders will enable the prearranged filings to proceed efficiently. The company expects to emerge with significantly less debt on its balance sheet and will secure additional liquidity to support long-term growth. Global demand is strong, and by increasing our financial flexibility, we will be able to focus on continuing to design, manufacture and distribute products that help Make Life's Experiences Possible<sup>®</sup>. We have a clear vision for the future, and we are working expeditiously towards our goals."

"Invacare has the right leadership, vision and the financial commitment from the sponsorship group to succeed, and we are confident that this Chapter 11 process will result in a comprehensive recapitalization transaction that will not only stabilize liquidity but also de-lever the balance sheet and better position Invacare for future growth," said Steven Rosen, chief executive officer of Azurite Management, the largest shareholder of Invacare.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11, the company expects to be financially positioned to seize opportunities and capitalize on a significant upward shift in market demand. The company intends to deliver improved profitability and free cash flow in 2023 and beyond, while building on its legacy as a leader and innovator in the lifestyle and mobility & seating markets.

**Additional Information about the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Financial Restructuring**

The RSA will be implemented through a plan of reorganization, which will be filed with the Court. The RSA provides for a $70 million debtor-in-possession term loan financing facility which includes new money funding of $35 million (the "DIP Facility"). Upon approval by the Court, the DIP Facility will provide the company with the stability and liquidity needed to continue operations in the ordinary course of business during the reorganization.

The company also has a commitment from a prepetition secured lender for a senior secured first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $85 million and a commitment for senior first lien secured convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $41.5 million, which will be outstanding when it emerges from Chapter 11.

Capacity for additional exit financing will be available to the company in the form of two revolving credit facilities with combined availability of up to $70 million.

Invacare has filed a number of customary "first day" motions for Court approval to facilitate a smooth transition into Chapter 11 and support operations during its cases. The company has requested and expects the authority to continue payment of employee wages and benefits without interruption, as well as the continued support of its customer programs and product warranties. The company expects operations to continue and to pay its suppliers in the ordinary course of business for all authorized goods delivered and services rendered after the filing date.

**Strong Sequential Improvement Achieved in Preliminary 4Q22 Financial Results**

------

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the company continued to experience strong demand for its lifestyle and mobility & seating products and elevated open orders compared to the end of 2021. As guided in its 3Q22 earnings release, the company anticipated sequential improvement in its key financial metrics. Based on preliminary unaudited 4Q22 results, the company anticipates reporting the following results for 4Q22 as compared to 3Q22:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reported net sales growth of 6% to $181 million as compared to $170 million, with growth in all regions and in all major product categories;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross margins, excluding the respiratory charges in 3Q22, improved substantially by 310 basis points to 26.6%;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA significantly improved driven by revenue growth; gross margin expansion due to pricing actions, favorable product mix and lower freight costs; and lower SG&A expense and;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Europe returned to profitability, confirming the 3Q22 operating loss for the segment was out of the ordinary.

**Strategic Actions Executed, Including the Monetization of Respiratory Assets, Accelerating a Renewed Focus on Core Businesses**

As part of its global transformation plan to accelerate a return to profitability and focus on its core lifestyle and mobility & seating product lines, the company took further decisive action to exit non-core businesses.

On January 30, 2023, the company completed the sale of its respiratory assets to Ventec Systems, a subsidiary of React Health. The company also completed the sale of its Top End<sup>TM</sup> sports and recreation wheelchair division to Top End Sports, LLC on January 27, 2023. These divestitures will enable the company to put its full focus on strengthening its core businesses and driving sustainable growth.

Commenting on the company's progress, Mr. Purtill stated "Delivering strong sequential improvements in all key financial metrics is testament to the actions we have undertaken to strengthen the business and yield positive results. As a global company, we remain focused on continuing to execute actions to enhance service to our customers. By focusing on our core businesses, we anticipate driving improved financial performance over the short- and long-term."

11 Workstream RisksTiming 1 Project Independence • End of June 2023 for a decision on retain, sell or shut down • Shutting down is a distraction to the rest of the business 2 Project Marathon Top End • Divested 1/27/23 3 9 Project Element Respiratory • Full business divestiture including spare parts and services closed on 1/30/23 • Proceeds of net $11.5M, after fees • Warranty and regulatory obligations required to be maintained for certain number of years and vary by region • TSA requires 90 day period to maintain services Description & Rationale Although "Independence" reportedly generates positive external margin, exiting / selling would allow IVC to focus on core offerings and simplify and consolidate the network. A buyer has not been found and the work to exit is also a distraction to the remaining activities, so we are evaluating a merge into other existing company operations Top End generates minimal sales and operations are break- even potentially cash burning; exit / sale eliminates the negative cash drain of the business and simplifies and allows for further network consolidation Strategic decision made to exit / sell respiratory in order to streamline operations and focus on core lifestyle and mobility & seating categories North America – Business Exits Overview
