**PROXY STATEMENT** 

**FOR THE 2025 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS** 

**SEPTEMBER 3, 2025** 

We have sent you this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card because the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. (referred to herein as the "Company," "Kestra," "we," "us," or "our") is soliciting your proxy to vote at our 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"), which will be held on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The Annual Meeting will be held online via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/KMTS2025.

This Proxy Statement summarizes information about the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting and other information you may find useful in determining how to vote. The proxy card is the means by which you authorize another person to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions.

We have elected to take advantage of the "Notice and Access" rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which allow us to provide shareholders access to our proxy materials over the internet in lieu of mailing printed copies. The Notice of Annual Meeting, the Proxy Statement and the Annual Report are available on our website at https://investors.kestramedical.com. Additionally, you may access our proxy materials at www.proxyvote.com.

We will begin mailing the Notice of Internet Availability to our shareholders of record as of July 7, 2025 (the "Record Date") for the first time on or about July 22, 2025. The Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions regarding how you can elect to receive these proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email. This election to receive proxy materials by mail or email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

The Notice of Internet Availability will contain instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials and will also contain instructions on how to request a printed copy of the proxy materials. In addition, we have provided brokers, dealers, banks, voting trustees, and their nominees, at our expense, with additional copies of our proxy materials and the Annual Report so that our shareholders of record can supply these materials to the beneficial owners of shares of our common shares as of the Record Date.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING** 

**Why am I receiving these materials?** 

We have made the Proxy Statement and the proxy card available to you on the internet or, upon your request, have delivered printed proxy materials to you, because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting, including at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting online to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may complete, sign, and return the proxy card, or follow the instructions below to submit your proxy over the telephone or on the internet.

The Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card will be first made available for access on or about July 22, 2025, to all shareholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

**Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?** 

Shareholders of record who own our common shares as of the close of business on July 7, 2025 (the "Record Date") are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 51,348,656 shares of common shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

*Shareholder of Record* 

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with the transfer agent for our common shares, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote at the Annual Meeting by attending the Annual Meeting online or you may vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting online, we encourage you to fill out and return the proxy card or vote by proxy over the telephone or on the internet as instructed below to ensure your vote is counted.

*Beneficial Owner* 

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, custodian, or other similar organization acting as nominee (each, a "broker"), then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account.

**What is the quorum requirement?** 

A quorum is necessary to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. A quorum will be present if two or more holders are present in attendance or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and represent in excess of 50% of the total issued common shares of the Company that are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. You are part of the quorum if you have timely returned a properly executed proxy card. Abstentions and broker non-votes also are counted in determining whether a quorum is present. (See below regarding broker non-votes.)

**What am I being asked to vote on?** 

You will be voting on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. the election of Conor Hanley and Elizabeth Kwo to serve as Class I directors until the Company's 2028
annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent registered
public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. the approval of the Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. any other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

**How does the Board recommend I vote on these matters?** 

The Board recommends you vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. FOR the election of Conor Hanley and Elizabeth Kwo as Class I directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. FOR the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the Company's independent registered
accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. FOR the approval of the Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

**What is the vote required for each matter?** 

The table below sets forth the vote required for each proposal to be passed. A "majority of votes cast" means that the number of shares voted "FOR" a proposal must exceed the number of shares voted "AGAINST" that proposal, without regard to abstentions and broker non-votes.

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Voting Item** | **Board**<br> **Recommendation** | **Vote required** | **Effect of**<br> **abstention** | **Effect of broker**<br> **non-votes** |

| 3. Approval of Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan | FOR | Majority of votes cast |  |  |

---

\* Under Nasdaq rules, Proposal 2 is the only matter considered "routine" and on which your broker can vote your shares without receiving instructions from you. Therefore, no broker non-votes are expected in connection with this proposal. 

**How do I vote?** 

The procedures for voting are as follows:

*Shareholder of Record* 

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote at the Annual Meeting online by logging in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/KMTS2025 and entering the 16-digit control number listed on your proxy card. Alternatively, you may vote by proxy before the Annual Meeting in the following ways:

• via the internet at www.proxyvote.com;

• by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903; or

• by signing and returning the proxy card to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting online, we encourage you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. Even if you have submitted a proxy before the Annual Meeting, you may still attend the Annual Meeting online and vote online. In such case, your previously submitted proxy will be disregarded.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Beneficial Owner* 

If you are a beneficial owner, you should have received a voting instruction card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from your broker. To ensure your vote is counted, you must complete and mail the voting instruction card as directed. To vote at the Annual Meeting online, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker. Follow the instructions from your broker included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker to request a proxy form.

**Who counts the votes?** 

A delegate of Broadridge Financial Services, Inc. will serve as the inspector of election (the "Inspector of Election") and will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

**What are "broker non-votes"?** 

Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" does not give instructions to the broker of the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed "non-routine." Generally, if shares are held in "street name," the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be "routine," but not with respect to "non-routine" matters. In the event that a broker or other shareholder of record indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to that proposal. Accordingly, if you own shares in "street name," please be sure to instruct your broker how to vote to ensure that your vote is counted on each of the proposals.

**Which proposals are considered "routine" or "non-routine?"** 

Proposal 2, the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026, is considered routine under applicable rules. A broker may generally vote on routine matters, and therefore no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal 2.

Proposal 1, the election of directors, and Proposal 3, the approval of the Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, are considered non-routine under applicable rules. A broker cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore there may be broker non-votes on each of Proposal 1 and Proposal 3. If you hold your shares in "street name" and do not give voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted for Proposal 1 or Proposal 3.

**How many votes do I have?** 

On each proposal, you have one vote for each common share you own as of the Record Date.

**What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?** 

If we receive a signed and dated proxy card that does not specify how your shares are to be voted, your shares will be voted as follows:

• "For" the election of two nominees for director;

• "For" the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as our independent registered
public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026; and

• "For" the approval of the Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares in his or her discretion.

**What is a proxy?** 

By appointing a proxy, you authorize a specified person or persons (known as your proxy or proxies) to vote your shares on your behalf at the Annual Meeting in the way that you instruct on the proxy card. A proxy may exercise all of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the Annual Meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. By use of a proxy, you can have your shares voted, whether or not you attend the meeting. All shares represented by valid proxies received and not revoked before the Annual Meeting will be voted in accordance with the shareholder's specific voting instructions. If we have received your executed proxy card and you have not given specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by our Board and in the discretion of your proxy upon such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint Brian Webster, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Traci S. Umberger, our General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer, as your proxy. If you execute and return your proxy card without appointing a different proxy, Mr. Webster and Ms. Umberger will be deemed to be your proxy. This ensures that your vote will be counted if you are not able to attend the Annual Meeting.

The appointment of a proxy must be received not later than September 2, 2025 at 11:59 Eastern Time, or such other deadline determined for any adjourned meeting.

**Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?** 

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors, officers, and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors, officers, and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks, and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

**How can I obtain additional copies of the Annual Report or Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement?** 

If you would like a printed or email copy of Kestra's Annual Report or Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement at no charge, please follow the instructions in the Notice of Internet Availability or contact the General Counsel by mail at 3933 Lake Washington Blvd NE, Suite 200, Kirkland, Washington 98033 or by email at corporatesecretary@kestramedical.com. We will promptly deliver to you the materials that you request.

In addition, shareholders may request to receive a free printed or email copy of the proxy materials from Broadridge by internet at proxyvote.com, by email to sendmaterial@proxyvote.com, or by telephone at +1-800-579-1639. Please have your Control Number available and, if you are sending an email, please include your Control Number in the subject line. All requests for additional materials in advance of the Annual Meeting should be made prior to August 20, 2025 to ensure timely delivery in advance of the Annual Meeting.

**What does it mean if I receive more than one set of materials?** 

If you receive more than one set of materials, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. In order to vote all the shares you own, you must either sign and return all of the proxy cards or follow the instructions for any alternative voting procedure on each of the proxy cards.

Only one mailing with a copy of the Notice of Annual Meeting (or a hardcopy of our Annual Report and Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, if requested) is being delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
address unless the Company has received contrary instructions from one or more of those shareholders. See "Additional Information—Householding of Proxy Materials" for more information.

**Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?** 

Yes, you can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy by:

• submitting another properly completed proxy with a later date;

• sending a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our General Counsel at 3933 Lake Washington Blvd NE,
Suite 200, Kirkland, Washington 98033; or

• attending the Annual Meeting online and voting during the Annual Meeting. Simply attending the Annual Meeting
online will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held by your broker, you should follow the instructions provided by them.

**How do I attend the virtual Annual Meeting?** 

The live webcast of the Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time on September 3, 2025. Online access to the live webcast will open approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of the Annual Meeting to allow time for our shareholders to log in and test their devices' audio system. We encourage you to access the meeting in advance of the designated start time.

To attend the Annual Meeting, you will need to log in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/KMTS2025 by using the 16-digit control number listed on your proxy card.

**Is technical assistance provided before and during the virtual Annual Meeting?** 

Beginning 15 minutes prior to the start of and during the virtual Annual Meeting, we will have support team ready to assist shareholders with any technical difficulties they may have accessing or hearing the virtual meeting.

If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual shareholder meeting log in page.

**How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?** 

Voting results will be announced by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are unavailable at that time, we will file an amended Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the day the final results are available.

**Implications of being an "emerging growth company."** 

We are an "emerging growth company" as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. These reduced reporting requirements include reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements and no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (a) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our initial public offering, (b) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (c) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year, or (d) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

**PROPOSAL NO. 1** 

**ELECTION OF DIRECTORS** 

Our Board currently consists of ten members who are divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II, and Class III. Each class has a staggered, three-year term. Class I directors' terms expire at the Annual Meeting, Class II directors' terms expire at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, and Class III directors' terms expire at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders. At each annual meeting of shareholders until our 2031 annual meeting of shareholders (the "2031 Annual Meeting"), directors whose terms are expiring will be succeeded by newly-elected directors, who will serve from the time of their election and qualification until the third subsequent annual meeting of shareholders. From and after the 2031 Annual Meeting, the Board will be declassified and our directors will be elected to hold office for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders. Vacancies on the Board may be filled by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors, and such persons shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until their successors are elected and qualified.

The following table sets forth information with respect to our directors and director nominees as of July 7, 2025:

(1) "CEO": Chief Executive Officer

(2) "GC": General Counsel, "CAO": Chief Administrative Officer

Upon the recommendation of our nominating and corporate governance committee, the Board has nominated for re-election Conor Hanley and nominated Dr. Elizabeth Kwo to serve as Class I directors until the 2028 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Mr. Hanley and Dr. Kwo have agreed to serve if elected, and there is no reason to believe that Mr. Hanley or Dr. Kwo will be unable to serve.

Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of Mr. Hanley and Dr. Kwo. In the event that any nominee should be unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, such shares will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee as the Board may propose.

It was mutually agreed that Toby AuWerter, Maxwell Bikoff and Christopher Gordon will not stand for re-election upon the expiration of their terms at the Annual Meeting. We extend our sincere gratitude to Messrs. AuWerter, Bikoff and Gordon for their outstanding contributions to the Board and we wish them continued success in their future endeavors.

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE** 

**Code of Conduct** 

We have adopted a Code of Conduct (the "Code of Conduct") that applies to all our officers, directors and employees, including our executive and senior financial officers. The Code of Conduct contains general guidelines for conducting the business of our company consistent with the highest standards of business ethics and is intended to qualify as a "code of ethics" within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 406 of Regulation S-K. In addition, we intend to promptly disclose the nature of any substantive amendment to our Code of Conduct that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, and the nature of any waiver, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of our Code of Conduct that is granted to one of these specified officers, the name of such person who is granted the waiver and the date of the waiver on our website or in filings under the Exchange Act in the future. A copy of our Code of Conduct is available on our website at https://investors.kestramedical.com/corporate-governance/document-charters. Reference to our website does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our website into this Proxy Statement.

**Corporate Governance Guidelines** 

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines as a general framework to assist the Board in carrying out its responsibility for the business and affairs of our Company. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are also intended to align the interests of directors with those of our shareholders. The Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth the practices our Board follows with respect to, among other things, the role of the Board, the composition of the Board, the structure and operations of the Board, the duties and responsibilities of directors and succession planning. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines is available on our website at https://investors.kestramedical.com/corporate-governance/document-charters.

**Independence of the Board** 

For a director to be independent, our Board must affirmatively determine that such director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with our Company. In making these determinations, our Board reviews and discusses information provided by the directors and us with regards to each director's business and personal activities and current and prior relationships, including personal relationships, as they may relate to us and our management. Our Board also consults with our Company's counsel to ensure that the Board's determinations are consistent with all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of "independent," including those set forth in pertinent Nasdaq listing standards, as in effect from time to time.

Consistent with these considerations, our Board has determined that all of our directors, other than Mr. Webster and Ms. Umberger, qualify as "independent" directors in accordance with the Nasdaq listing standards. Mr. Webster is not considered independent due to his position as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Umberger is not considered independent due to her role as our General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his or her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by Nasdaq rules, our Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationship exists, which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director's business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. There are no current family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
As required under Nasdaq rules and regulations, our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present. Each of the audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating and corporate governance committee of our Board is comprised entirely of directors determined by the Board to be independent within the meaning of Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations applicable to the members of such committees.

**Leadership Structure of the Board** 

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Our Board is currently led by Mr. Schwartz, who serves as the chairman of our Board. In that role, Mr. Schwartz presides over all meetings of our Board, including any executive sessions of the independent directors of our Board, approves Board meeting schedules and agendas, and acts as the liaison between the independent directors of our Board and our Chief Executive Officer.

Pursuant to our corporate governance guidelines, our Board conducts annual assessments of its leadership structure to determine whether it is the most appropriate for our Company, taking into account the recommendations of the nominating and corporate governance committee. Our Board has concluded that our leadership structure is appropriate at this time because it facilitates effective oversight and further strengthens the Board's independent leadership and commitment to sound governance. This also allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on the day-to-day business of Kestra, while allowing the chair of the Board to lead our Board in its oversight of management. However, our Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate.

**Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process** 

**Board Committees** 

Our Board has the following standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Each of our committees operates pursuant to a written charter, evaluates its performance annually and reviews its charter annually. Our Board may establish other committees to facilitate the management of our business.

*Audit Committee* 

Our audit committee is responsible for a broad range of key functions and risk oversight activities. These include appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating, and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm, as well as discussing the firm's independence from the company. The committee also reviews with the accounting firm all matters required by applicable auditing standards and approves all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by the firm. In addition, the audit committee oversees the financial reporting process, engaging in discussions with both management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding the interim and annual financial statements filed with the SEC. The committee is also

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
charged with reviewing and monitoring our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Furthermore, it establishes procedures for the confidential and anonymous submission of concerns related to questionable accounting, internal controls, auditing, and federal securities law matters, and is responsible for reviewing and approving related person transactions. The current members of our audit committee are Mary Kay Ladone, Raymond W. Cohen, and Maxwell Bikoff. The chair of the audit committee is Ms. Ladone. All members of our audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq and the SEC. Our Board has determined that Ms. Ladone is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. Under the rules of the SEC, members of the audit committee must also meet heightened independence standards. Our Board has determined that Ms. Ladone, Mr. Cohen, and Mr. Bikoff are "independent" for audit committee purposes as that term is defined in the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq and the SEC.

Following the election of the new directors at the Annual Meeting, we expect the audit committee to consist of Ms. Ladone, Mr. Cohen and Mr. Hanley, with Ms. Ladone continuing to serve as chair. Our Board has determined that Mr. Hanley is "independent" for audit committee purposes as that term is defined in the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq and the SEC.

The audit committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of Nasdaq and the SEC. A copy of the audit committee charter is available to security holders on the Company's website at https://investors.kestramedical.com/corporate-governance/document-charters.

*Compensation Committee* 

Our compensation committee is responsible for reviewing officer and executive compensation goals, policies, plans, and programs, as well as reviewing and approving or recommending to the Board or the independent directors, as applicable, the compensation of directors, the Chief Executive Officer, and other executive officers. In addition, the compensation committee reviews and approves employment agreements and other similar arrangements between the company and its officers and other key executives, and is tasked with appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants. The current members of our compensation committee are Raymond W. Cohen, Jeffrey Schwartz, and Kevin Reilly. The chair of the compensation committee is Mr. Cohen. Our Board has determined that each of the members of our compensation committee is independent under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq and is a "non-employee director" as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Following the Annual Meeting, we do not expect any changes to the members or chair of the compensation committee.

The compensation committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of Nasdaq and the SEC. A copy of the compensation committee charter is available to security holders on the Company's website at https://investors.kestramedical.com/corporate-governance/document-charters.

*Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee* 

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board in accordance with criteria approved by the Board, overseeing the organization of the Board to ensure that it is able to discharge its duties and responsibilities properly and efficiently, and developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance guidelines and principles.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee, in recommending director candidates to our Board, seeks to maintain a Board that has a balance of skills, knowledge, experience, independence and diversity of professional and other backgrounds that enable the Board to effectively discharge its duties and contribute to the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Company's overall corporate goals. Our nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates candidates in accordance with a holistic range of criteria set forth in the committee's charter, including that candidates should: be persons of good reputation and character who conduct themselves in accordance with high personal and professional ethical standards, maintain an active professional life that keeps them closely attuned to the Company's markets, have the educational background, qualifications and skills relevant for the effective management and oversight of the Company's management, and have the time and willingness to carry out their duties and responsibilities. Director candidates must also satisfy all applicable director independence requirements under the standards of Nasdaq and applicable securities laws, and also comply with the Company's corporate governance policy, including policies relating to overboarding and conflicts of interest. Although the committee does not have specific diversity targets or policies, the committee recognizes the importance of having a Board that represents a wide range of perspectives, and actively seeks a diverse slate of candidates reflecting varied gender, ethnic, tenure, skill, and professional backgrounds. Additionally, although the Company has neither mandatory term limits nor a fixed retirement age, the committee evaluates individual and average Board tenure to promote an appropriate balance between continuity and fresh insight.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Following the Annual Meeting, we expect the nominating and corporate governance committee to consist of Mr. Schwartz, Ms. Ladone and Dr. Kwo, with Mr. Schwartz continuing to serve as chair. Our Board has determined that Dr. Kwo is independent under the Nasdaq listing standards.

The nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of Nasdaq and the SEC. A copy of the nominating and corporate governance committee charter is available to security holders on the Company's website at https://investors.kestramedical.com/corporate-governance/document-charters.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will also consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. See the section titled "Additional Information" for a detailed discussion of the relevant procedures and deadlines for shareholder director candidate nominations.

**Director Nomination Process** 

Our nominating and corporate governance committee recommends, and our Board nominates, candidates to stand for election as directors. Our nominating and corporate governance committee has the authority to engage search firms for the purpose of identifying highly qualified director candidates, for which such firms may be paid a fee. Shareholders may also nominate persons to be elected as directors in accordance with our Bye-laws and applicable law.

**Meetings of the Board, Board and Committee Member Attendance, and Annual Meeting Attendance** 

Our Board met two times during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. Each of our Board members attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board, to the extent appointed as a Board member at the relevant time of each meeting in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. While we encourage all of our directors and nominees for director to attend our annual meeting of shareholders, attendance is not mandatory.

Our Board has three standing committees: the audit committee, the compensation committee, and the nominating and corporate governance committee. As each committee was established in connection with the completion of our initial public offering on March 7, 2025, the committees did not hold any meetings in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

**Shareholder Communications with the Board** 

Should shareholders wish to communicate with the Board or any specified individual directors, such correspondence should be sent to the attention of our General Counsel of the Company at 3933 Lake Washington Blvd NE, Sute 200, Kirkland, Washington 98003 or by email at corporatesecretary@kestramedical.com, who will forward the communication to our Board.

**Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation** 

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, our compensation committee consisted of Raymond W. Cohen, Jeffrey Schwartz, and Kevin Reilly. None of the members of our compensation committee during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 nor any of the current members of our compensation committee has at any time been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers on our Board or compensation committee.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Clawback Policy** 

We have adopted the Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (the "Clawback Policy") in compliance with Nasdaq listing standards and Section 10D of the Exchange Act effective as of the date of our initial public offering. The Clawback Policy applies to current and former Section 16 officers and requires us, subject to limited exemptions provided by the Nasdaq rules, to recoup incentive-based compensation (as that term is defined in Section 10D of the Exchange Act) erroneously received after the date of our initial public offering and within the three fiscal years preceding the date an accounting restatement is determined to be required. A copy of our Clawback Policy is filed with our Annual Report.

**Insider Trading Policy** 

We have adopted an Insider Trading Policy (the "Insider Trading Policy"), which governs transactions in our securities and the handling of confidential information about our Company and the companies with which we do business by our directors, officers and employees. Our Insider Trading Policy is designed to promote compliance with federal, state and foreign securities and insider trading laws, rules and regulations. Our Insider Trading Policy also prohibits covered individuals from engaging in short-term trading of our securities; making short sales of our securities; engaging in transactions in put options, call options or other derivative securities in relation to our securities on an exchange or in any other organized market; engaging in hedging or similar monetization transactions designed to have the effect of hedging or offsetting a decrease in the market value of our securities; holding our securities in margin accounts or otherwise pledging our securities as collateral; and placing standing or limit orders on our securities. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is filed with our Annual Report.

**Equity Award Timing Policies and Practices** 

In connection with our initial public offering, we awarded options to employees, including our NEOs, as described in the "*Executive Compensation—"Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Outstanding Equity Award and Fiscal Year-End – Equity Incentive Compensation"* section below. If additional long-term incentive compensation in the form of option awards is determined to be appropriate, our Board, Compensation Committee, or applicable designee intends to approve such annual grants of options for continuing employees in the first fiscal quarter commensurate with the prescheduled Board and committee meetings.

The grant dates of the options awarded in connection with our initial public offering was selected so as not to be within a short period of time, as described in the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin 120 ("SAB 120"), prior to the release of material nonpublic information ("MNPI") such as on Forms 8-K, 10-Q, or 10-K. Future grants of options may occur at other times during the year due to business needs, such as for newly hired employees or officers or newly appointed directors. The Board, Compensation Committee, or applicable designee does not anticipate the timing of disclosure of MNPI when determining the timing and terms of such awards, and we do not time the release of MNPI for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. Generally, exercise prices are based on the closing price of the underlying common shares on the date immediately prior to the grant date, subject to the applicable rules for NSOs and ISOs under the Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan"). Options granted in connection with our initial public offering generally vest over two years, with 50% vesting on first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50% vesting monthly in ratable installments thereafter, with some exceptions for the options granted to our NEOs as described in the ""*Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Outstanding Equity Award and Fiscal Year-End – Equity Incentive Compensation*" section below. The vesting schedules of these options were not timed to anticipate the release of MNPI.

There were no grants of options to our NEOs within four business days before or one business day after the release of MNPI on Forms 8-K, 10-Q, or 10-K in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. As such, no table of such option grants is presented under Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K.

**Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information** 

Neither our Board nor our compensation committee takes material non-public information into account when determining the timing of equity awards, and we do not time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates. There were no grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments to our NEOs within four business days before or one business day after the release of material non-public information on Forms 8-K, 10-Q, or 10-K in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

**Registration Rights Agreement** 

In connection with our initial public offering, we assumed from West Affum Holdings, L.P. all its rights and obligations under a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with certain of our shareholders, including Bain Charger Holdings, L.P. The Registration Rights Agreement provides such shareholders certain rights with respect to the registration of our common shares under the Securities Act.

Affiliates of Bain Capital have ownership interests in a broad range of companies. From time to time, we collaborate with Bain Capital and/or its affiliates to source and outsource certain goods and services and enter into other commercial transactions in the ordinary course of our business.

Supreme Court of Bermuda pursuant to Section 281 of the Companies Act. We provide indemnification protection to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law pursuant to provisions contained in our Bye-laws and through indemnification agreements with each individual.

**Related Party Transactions Policy** 

We have adopted a written related party transactions policy, under which our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our common shares and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related person transaction with us without the prior consent of our audit committee. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, nominee for election as a director, beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our common shares or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and such person would have a direct or indirect interest must first be presented to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our audit committee is to consider the material facts of the transaction, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person's interest in the transaction.

**DIRECTOR COMPENSATION** 

For fiscal year 2025, prior to our initial public offering, other than described below, none of the Company's non-employee directors (which included Mr. Gordon, Mr. Schwartz, Ms. Mishan and Mr. Chilazi) received compensation for their service as directors. Additionally, the Company's directors who were executives of the Company (which included Mr. Webster and Ms. Umberger) were not eligible to receive additional compensation for their services as directors prior to our initial public offering.

**Director Compensation Prior to our IPO** 

Ms. Mishan was a member of the Board up until the time of our initial public offering. In November 2024, Ms. Mishan entered into an individual director compensation agreement under which she was entitled to receive (i) a $40,000 annual cash retainer for her service as a member of the Board, and (ii) an initial grant of 10,224.95 incentive units (in the form of Class A Common Units of West Affum Holdings, L.P.) intended to qualify as "profits interests" for federal income tax purposes. This award was eligible to vest in three equal installments on the three anniversaries following the date of grant, subject to Ms. Mishan's continued service through each applicable vesting date. All unvested incentive units subject to the award were also eligible to accelerate and vest upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Partnership (as defined in the West Affum Holdings, L.P. Partnership Agreement). The director compensation agreement also subjects Ms. Mishan to the following restrictive covenants: (i) non-competition (for the longer of (a) 12 months or (b) through such period that severance is being paid by West Affum Holdings, L.P. or its affiliates to the director); (ii) non-solicitation and non-hire of employees or service providers of West Affum Holdings, L.P., in each case, while the director is providing services and for one year following termination; (iii) perpetual non-disparagement; and (iv) perpetual non-disclosure of confidential information. Ms. Mishan resigned from the Board on February 10, 2025. In connection with Ms. Mishan's resignation, the Board paid out the remainder of her unearned $40,000 annual cash retainer and permitted the incentive units to remain outstanding and accelerate in connection with the initial public offering.

**Director Compensation Policy** 

In connection with the consummation of our initial public offering, the Board approved a director compensation policy for non-employee directors and executive directors of the company (the "Director Compensation Policy").

Pursuant to our Director Compensation Policy, our non-employee and executive directors receive annual cash compensation as follows (pro-rated for partial years of service):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Compensation** | **Amount** |
|  Retainer for non-executive Chair of the Board | $120000 |
|  Retainer for each non-employee member of the Board | $60000 |
|  Retainer for each executive director<sup>(1)</sup> | $50000 |
|  Additional retainer for Chair of the Audit Committee | $25000 |
|  Additional retainer for Chair of the Compensation Committee | $18000 |
|  Additional retainer for Chair of the Nominating Committee | $12000 |
|  Additional retainer for non-Chair members of the Audit Committee | $12000 |
|  Additional retainer for non-Chair members of the Compensation Committee | $9000 |
|  Additional retainer for non-Chair members of the Nominating Committee | $6000 |

---

(1) The annual cash compensation received by each of Mr. Webster and Ms. Umberger for their service as
members of the Board during fiscal year 2025 is reported in the "Summary Compensation Table" in the "Executive Compensation" section of this proxy statement.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
In addition to the fees above, each non-employee director who (i) serves on the Board as of the date of the annual meeting of the stockholders and (ii) will continue to serve as a non-employee director immediately following such annual meeting will receive annual grant of restricted stock units pursuant to the 2025 Plan with a grant date value equal to $185,000, which fully vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. Upon a termination of a non-employee director's service on the Board for any reason, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited.

Our directors are reimbursed for travel, food, lodging and other expenses directly related to their activities as directors. Our Board may revise the compensation arrangements for our directors from time to time.

**Director Compensation Table** 

The following table contains information concerning the compensation of our non-employee directors in fiscal year 2025:

---

(1) Mr. Webster and Ms. Umberger are excluded from this table because their respective compensation for
service as a director during fiscal 2025 is fully reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the "Executive Compensation" section of this proxy statement.

(2) Amounts reflect the pro-rata amount of the annual cash fees earned by
each non-employee director (other than Ms. Mishan and Mr. Chilazi) pursuant to the Director Compensation Policy for the period starting on the effective date of the initial public offering through
the end of the 2025 fiscal year. For Ms. Mishan, this amount reflects the full amount of her annual cash compensation under her individual director compensation agreement, not pro-rated for her partial
year of service.

(3) Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of the 10,224.95 Restricted Class A Common Units in West
Affum Holdings, L.P. granted to Ms. Mishan in November 2024, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. We provide information regarding the assumptions used to calculate the value of all option awards in Note 12 to our financial
statements included in our Annual Report. No incremental fair value was attributed to the portion of such award for which vesting was accelerated in connection with Ms. Mishan's resignation from the Board in February 2025. This award of
Restricted Class Common A Units was intended to constitute profits interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Despite the fact that the Restricted Class A Common Units do not require the payment of an exercise price, they are most
similar economically to stock options. Accordingly, they are classified as "options" under the definition provided in Item 402(k)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-K as an instrument with an "option-like
feature."

(4) Represents the grant date fair value of 12,994 restricted common shares of the Company issued to each of
Mr. Cohen and Ms. Ladone on March 7, 2025 in connection with our initial public offering in exchange for their unvested Class A Common Units in West Affum Holdings, L.P, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. We provide
information regarding the assumptions used to calculate the value of all stock awards in Note 12 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report. Mr. Cohen's restricted common shares will vest in one-third increments on each of July 24, 2025, July 24, 2026 and July 24, 2027. Ms. Ladone's restricted common shares will vest in one-third increments on each of October 7, 2025, October 7, 2026 and October 7, 2027. No other non-employee directors held outstanding stock or option awards as of April 30, 2025.

(5) Ms. Mishan resigned from the Board on February 10, 2025.

(6) Mr. Chilazi resigned from the Board on February 4, 2025.

**PROPOSAL NO. 2** 

**RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** 

The audit committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026, and is seeking ratification of such selection by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting. PwC has audited our financial statements for each of our fiscal years since the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016. Representatives of PwC are expected to be in attendance online at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

In the event of a negative vote on this proposal, the audit committee will reconsider its selection. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee may, in its discretion, appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders.

comfort letters and consents.

(2) "All Other Fees" consist of an annual subscription to PwC's accounting literature and tools.

**Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures** 

The audit committee's charter mandates that the audit committee or its delegate pre-approve all audit and non-audit tax services provided by its independent registered public accounting firm, unless the engagement is entered into pursuant to appropriate additional pre-approval policies established by the audit committee. The audit committee may delegate approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any approval decisions to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. In accordance with the charter, the audit committee approved all of the audit, tax, and other services provided by PwC for 2025 and 2024, including the audit, tax, and other services provided by PwC following our initial public offering, and in each case, the estimated costs of those services. Actual amounts rendered, to the extent in excess of the estimated amounts, are periodically reviewed and approved by the audit committee.

**REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS** 

The primary purpose of the audit committee is to oversee our financial reporting processes on behalf of our Board. The audit committee's functions are more fully described in its charter, which is available on our website at https://investors.kestramedical.com/corporate-governance/document-charters. Management has the primary responsibility for our financial statements and reporting processes, including our systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed and discussed with management Kestra's audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

The audit committee has discussed with PwC, Kestra's independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard 1301, Communications with audit committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") and the SEC. In addition, the audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, "Communication with audit committees Concerning Independence," and the audit committee has discussed with PwC their independence from the Company and its management. Finally, the audit committee discussed with PwC, with and without management present, the scope and results of PwC's audit of such financial statements.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee has recommended to our Board of Directors that such audited financial statements be included in Kestra's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, for filing with the SEC.

**PROPOSAL NO. 3** 

**APPROVAL OF 2025 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN** 

**Overview** 

We are asking our shareholders to approve the Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP").

Upon the recommendation of our compensation committee, the Board adopted the ESPP on June 4, 2025, including an initial reserve of 500,000 common shares for issuance under the ESPP (with annual increases as described in further detail below), subject to the approval of our shareholders at the Annual Meeting. The Board believes that adopting the ESPP is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders because it will serve as an important tool to attract, retain, reward and motivate talented employees to support our continued success. Additionally, in encouraging share ownership by employees, the ESPP will align the interests of the Company's employees with those of the Company's shareholders.

We plan to offer eligible employees the opportunity to purchase our common shares on a regular basis through payroll deductions under the ESPP. The ESPP is comprised of a "Section 423 Component" that is intended to be an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and a "Non-Section 423 Component" that need not satisfy the requirements for an "employee stock purchase plan." Approval of the ESPP requires the affirmative FOR vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal.

**Consequences of Failing to Approve the Proposal** 

If the ESPP is approved by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting, the ESPP will become effective on the date of the Annual Meeting. If the ESPP is not approved by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting, the ESPP will not become effective.

**Summary of the ESPP** 

The following is a summary of certain major features of the ESPP. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the specific provisions contained in the full text of the ESPP, which is attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

***Plan Administration***

The Compensation Committee of our Board administers the ESPP and has full authority to make, administer and interpret such equitable rules and regulations regarding the ESPP as it deems advisable.

***Eligibility***

Persons eligible to participate in the ESPP are full-time employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries designated as a participating employer, except for persons who are deemed for purposes of Section 423(b)(3) of the Code to own five percent or more of our voting stock. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, approximately 300 employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP. No employee may exercise an option granted under the Section 423 Component of the ESPP that permits the employee to purchase the Company's common shares having a value of more than $25,000 (determined using the fair market value of the stock at the time such option is granted) in any calendar year, and, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, in no event may a participant acquire more than 1,000 shares of our common shares in any single Offering Period under the ESPP.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***Offering Periods; Exercise Price***

The ESPP provides certain offering periods, not to exceed 27 months, as defined within an offering document approved by the Compensation Committee (each an "Offering Period," and together the "Offering Periods"). Eligible employees may elect to become participants in the ESPP by enrolling prior to each Offering Period. At the end of each Offering Period, subject to the terms of the ESPP, the accumulated payroll deductions from each eligible employee who is then a participant in the ESPP are used to automatically purchase shares of the Company at 85% of the lesser of the closing price of the Company's common shares on the first day or last day of the Offering Period. Shares are purchased through the accumulation of payroll deductions of not less than 1% nor more than 15% of each participant's compensation.

***Participation / Cancellation***

A participant may only purchase shares under the ESPP during his or her lifetime and the ability to purchase shares under the ESPP is not transferable. Once an employee becomes a participant in the ESPP, that employee will automatically participate in successive Offering Periods until such time as that employee withdraws from the ESPP, becomes ineligible to participate in the ESPP, or his or her employment ceases. A participant may cancel his or her participation in the ESPP with respect to any Offering Period so long as the participant's notice of cancellation is received by us at least two weeks prior to the applicable purchase date for an Offering Period. Participation in the ESPP automatically terminates upon a participant's termination of employment for any reason. Upon any such cancellation or termination, all accumulated payroll deductions are refunded to the participant.

***Shares Subject to the Plan***

If the ESPP is approved by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting, the aggregate number of the Company's common shares that will initially be reserved for issuance under the ESPP will be 500,000 shares. If our capital structure changes because of a stock dividend, stock split or similar event, the number of shares that can be issued under the ESPP will be appropriately adjusted. Additionally, on January 1st of each year from 2026 to 2035, the share reserve increases by the lesser of (a) 1% of the outstanding shares on the last day of the prior year or (b) a smaller number as determined by the Board, provided the number of common shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to the rights granted under the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under the Section 423 Component) shall not exceed an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments as described in the foregoing sentence.

***Corporate Transactions***

In the event of any change in control, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, take any such actions as it determines to be appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits, including but not limited to the following: (a) provide for either (i) termination of any outstanding option in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon the exercise of such option had such option been currently exercisable or (ii) the replacement of such outstanding option with other options or property selected by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion; (b) provide that the outstanding options under the ESPP will be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or will be substituted for similar options covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (c) make adjustments in the number and type of common shares of the Company (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding options under the ESPP and/or in the terms and conditions of outstanding options and options that may be granted in the future; (d) provide that the offering and any applicable purchase period with respect to which an option relates will be shortened by setting a new exercise date on which such offering or applicable purchase period will end; and (e) provide that all outstanding options shall terminate without being exercised and all amounts in the accounts of participants shall be promptly refunded.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***Amendments and Termination***

Our Compensation Committee may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP. However, any such termination by the Compensation Committee will not affect a participant's ability to purchase shares then outstanding under the ESPP. Certain amendments, such as an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP (other than as explicitly provided in the Plan), will not be effective without the approval of our stockholders.

***Participation by the Company's Named Executive Officers***

Our named executive officers will be eligible to participate in the ESPP on the same terms and conditions as all other participants and will continue to remain eligible, conditioned on approval of the ESPP by our stockholders.

***U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations***

The following summary describes U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the ESPP but is not a complete description of all U.S. federal tax laws or regulations that may apply and does not address any state or local laws.

The Section 423 Component of the ESPP is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" as defined in Section 423(b) of the Code, which provides that an employee participating in the plan is not required to pay any federal income tax when joining the plan or when purchasing common shares at the end of the Offering Period. The employee is, however, required to pay federal income tax on the difference, if any, between the price at which he or she sells the shares and the price he or she paid for them. If shares acquired under the ESPP are sold more than two years after the first day of the purchase period pursuant to which the shares were purchased, no taxable income results if the sale price is less than the price paid for the shares, and the employee will recognize a long-term capital loss for the difference between the sale price and the purchase price. If the proceeds of the sale are higher than the purchase price, the employee will recognize ordinary income for the year in which the sale occurs equal to the lesser of (a) fifteen percent (15%) of the fair market value of the Company's common shares on the first day of the Offering Period in which the shares were purchased, or (b) the excess of the amount actually received for the shares over the amount paid. In addition, the employee will recognize a long-term capital gain in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of the sale and the employee's basis in the shares (i.e., the employee's purchase price plus the amount taxed to the employee as ordinary income).

If shares acquired under the ESPP are sold within two years of the first day of the purchase period pursuant to which the shares were purchased (a "Disqualifying Disposition"), the employee will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the last business day of the purchase period in which the shares were purchased and the employee's purchase price. This amount is reportable as ordinary income even if no profit was realized on the sale of shares or the shares were sold at a loss. Long-term or short-term (depending on the holding period for the shares) capital gain or loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of sale and the employee's basis in the shares (i.e., the fair market value of the shares on the last business day of the purchase period in which the shares were purchased).

The Company will generally be entitled to a deduction in the year of a Disqualifying Disposition equal to the amount of ordinary income realized by the participant as a result of such disposition, subject to the satisfaction of any tax-reporting obligations. In all other cases, no deduction is allowed.

**New Plan Benefits** 

The benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to any individual or group of individuals under the ESPP are not determinable because they depend on the purchase price of our common shares in Offering Periods after the implementation of the ESPP, the market value of our shares on various future dates, the amount of contributions that eligible employees elect to make under the ESPP, and similar factors.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE ESPP**

**DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS** 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors, executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common shares and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors, and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To the Company's knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION** 

**Householding of Proxy Materials** 

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (*e.g*., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

Brokers with account holders who are Kestra shareholders may be "householding" our proxy materials.

If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate Proxy Statement and Annual Report, you may notify your broker or direct your written request to our General Counsel at 3933 Lake Washington Blvd NE, Suite 200, Kirkland, Washington 98033. shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of this Proxy Statement at their address and would like to request "householding" of their communications should contact their broker or the Company at 3933 Lake Washington Blvd NE, Suite 200, Kirkland, Washington 98033.

**ARTICLE I.** 

**PURPOSE** 

The purpose of this Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as it may be amended or restated from time to time, this "**<u>Plan</u>**") is to assist Eligible Employees of Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd., a Bermuda corporation (the "**<u>Company</u>**") and its Designated Subsidiaries in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company. This Plan consists of two components: (i) the Section 423 Component and (ii) the Non-Section 423 Component. The Section 423 Component is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code and shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. The Non-Section 423 Component authorizes the grant of rights which need not qualify as rights granted pursuant to an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code. Rights granted under the Non-Section 423 Component shall be granted pursuant to separate Offerings containing such sub-plans, appendices, rules or procedures as may be adopted by the Administrator and designed to achieve tax, securities laws or other objectives for Eligible Employees and Designated Subsidiaries, but shall not be intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 "**<u>Code</u>**" means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

For purposes of the foregoing, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code with regard to the attribution of stock ownership shall apply in determining the stock ownership of an individual, and stock that an Employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may provide in an Offering Document that an Employee shall not be eligible to participate in an Offering Period under the Section 423 Component if: (i) such Employee is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code; (ii) such Employee has not met a service requirement designated by the Administrator pursuant to Section 423(b)(4)(A) of the Code (which service requirement may not exceed two years); (iii) such Employee's customary employment is for 20 hours per week or less; (iv) such Employee's customary employment is for less than five months in any calendar year; and/or (v) such Employee is a citizen or resident of a foreign jurisdiction and the grant of a right to purchase Shares under this Plan to such Employee would be prohibited under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction or the grant of a right to purchase Shares under this Plan to such Employee in compliance with the laws of such foreign jurisdiction would cause this Plan to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Any exclusion in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this <u>Section</u> <u>2.9(b)</u> shall be applied in an identical manner under each Offering Period to all Employees, in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.423-2(e).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10 "**<u>Employee</u>**" means, (a) with respect to the Non-Section 423 Component, any individual who renders services to the Company or any Designated Subsidiary in the status of an employee, and (b) with respect to the Section 423 Component, a person who is an employee within the meaning of Section 3401(c) of the Code. For purposes of an individual's participation in, or other rights under this Plan, all determinations by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive, notwithstanding that any court of law or governmental agency subsequently makes a contrary determination. For purposes of this Plan, the employment relationship shall be treated as continuing intact while the individual is on sick leave or other leave of absence approved by the Company or Designated Subsidiary and meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulations § 1.421-1(h)(2). Where the period of leave exceeds three months and the individual's right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship shall be deemed to have terminated on the first day immediately following such three-month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each such subscription agreement shall designate a whole number percentage of such Eligible Employee's Compensation to be withheld by the Company or the Designated Subsidiary employing such Eligible

Such payroll deductions may not be less than the minimum amount specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document (which shall be 1% in the absence of any such designation) and may not be greater than the maximum amount specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document (which shall be 15% in the absence of any such designation). The payroll deductions made for each Participant shall be credited to an account for such Participant under this Plan and shall be deposited with the general funds of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) A Participant may decrease (but not increase) the percentage of Compensation designated in the Participant's subscription agreement (to as low as zero), subject to the limits of this <u>Section</u> <u>5.2</u>, at any time during an Offering Period; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Administrator may limit the number of times a Participant may decrease the Participant's payroll deduction elections during each Offering Period in the applicable Offering Document (and in the absence of any specific designation by the Administrator, a Participant shall be allowed one decrease (but no increases) to the Participant's payroll deduction elections during each Offering Period with respect to such Offering Period). Any such change of payroll deductions shall be effective with the first full payroll period following 10 business days after the Company's receipt of the new subscription agreement (or such shorter or longer period as may be specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document). If a Participant decreases the Participant's payroll deductions to zero, such Participant's cumulative payroll deductions prior to such decrease shall remain in the Participant's account and shall be applied to the purchase of Shares on the next occurring Purchase Date and shall not be paid to such Participant unless the Participant withdraws from participation in this Plan pursuant to Article VII.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Except as otherwise set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>5.8</u> or in an Offering Document, or as determined by the Administrator, a Participant may participate in this Plan only by means of payroll deduction and may not make contributions by lump sum payment for any Offering Period. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, in non-U.S. jurisdictions where participation in this Plan through payroll deductions is prohibited, the Administrator may provide that an Eligible Employee may elect to participate through contributions to the Participant's account under this Plan in a form acceptable to the Administrator in lieu of or in addition to payroll deductions; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, for any Offering under the Section 423 Component, any such alternative method of contribution must comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 <u>Payroll Deductions</u>. Except as otherwise set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>5.8</u> or in an Offering Document, or as determined by the Administrator, payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence on the first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period to which the Participant's authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Article VII or suspended by the Participant or the Administrator as provided in <u>Sections</u> <u>5.2</u> and <u>5.6</u>, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4 <u>Effect of Enrollment</u>. A Participant's completion of a subscription agreement will automatically enroll such Participant in this Plan for each subsequent Offering Period on the terms contained therein until the Participant either submits a new subscription agreement, withdraws from participation under this Plan as provided in Article VII or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>Limitation on Purchase of Common Stock</u>. An Eligible Employee may be granted rights under the Section 423 Component of this Plan only if such rights, together with any other rights granted to such Eligible Employee under any "employee stock purchase plans" of the Company, any Parent, or any Subsidiary, as specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, do not permit such Eligible Employee's rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of the Fair Market Value of such stock (determined as of the first day of the Offering Period during which such rights are granted) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time. This limitation shall be applied in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6 <u>Suspension of Payroll Deductions</u>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Section 423 Component, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, <u>Section</u> <u>5.5</u> or the other

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
limitations set forth in this Plan, a Participant's payroll deductions may be suspended by the Administrator at any time during an Offering Period. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each Participant that has not been applied to the purchase of Shares by reason of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, <u>Section</u> <u>5.5</u> or the other limitations set forth in this Plan shall be paid to such Participant, without interest, in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.7 <u>Foreign Employees</u>. To facilitate participation in this Plan, the Administrator may provide for such special terms applicable to Participants who are citizens or residents of a foreign jurisdiction or who are employed by a Designated Subsidiary outside of the United States, as the Administrator may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. With respect to the Section 423 Component, such special terms may not be more favorable than the terms of rights granted under this Plan to Eligible Employees who are residents of the United States, and must satisfy the requirements for rights to purchase Shares granted pursuant to an "employee stock purchase plan" that are set forth under Section 423 of the Code. Moreover, the Administrator may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or alternative versions of, this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as then in effect unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the stockholders of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures, with respect to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed in non-U.S. jurisdictions, regarding the exclusion of particular Subsidiaries from participation in the Plan, eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions or other contributions by Participants, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, data privacy security, payroll tax, withholding procedures, and/or establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions or contributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.8 <u>Leave of Absence</u>. During leaves of absence approved by the Company meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulations § 1.421-1(h)(2) under the Code, a Participant may continue participation in this Plan by making cash payments to the Company on the Participant's normal payday equal to the Participant's authorized payroll deduction.

**ARTICLE VI.** 

**GRANT AND EXERCISE OF RIGHTS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1 <u>Grant of Rights</u>. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period pursuant to the terms of the Plan shall be granted a right to purchase, subject to the maximum number of Shares specified under <u>Section</u> <u>4.2</u> and the limits in <u>Section</u> <u>5.5</u>, on each Purchase Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price), a number of whole Shares determined by dividing (a) such Participant's payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Purchase Date and retained in the Participant's account as of the Purchase Date, by (b) the applicable Purchase Price (rounded down to the nearest Share). Such right shall expire on the earliest of: (i) the last Purchase Date of the Offering Period, (ii) the last day of the Offering Period, and (iii) the date on which the Participant withdraws from participation in the Plan in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>7.1</u> or <u>7.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2 <u>Exercise of Rights</u>. On each Purchase Date, each Participant's accumulated payroll deductions and any other additional payments specifically provided for in the applicable Offering Document will be applied to the purchase of whole Shares pursuant to Section 6.1, up to the maximum number of Shares permitted pursuant to the terms of this Plan and the applicable Offering Document, at the Purchase Price. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of rights granted under this Plan, unless the Offering Document specifically provides otherwise. Any cash in lieu of fractional Shares remaining after the purchase of whole Shares upon exercise of a purchase right will be carried forward and applied toward the purchase of whole Shares for the immediately

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
subsequent Offering Period. Shares issued pursuant to this Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may determine and may be issued in certificated form or issued pursuant to book-entry procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3 <u>Pro Rata Allocation of Shares</u>. If the Administrator determines that, on a given Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to which rights are to be exercised may exceed (a) the number of Shares that were available for issuance under this Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (b) the number of Shares available for issuance under this Plan on such Purchase Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Purchase Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants for whom rights to purchase Shares are to be exercised pursuant to this Article VI on such Purchase Date, and shall either (i) continue all Offering Periods then in effect or (ii) terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Article IX. The Company may make a pro rata allocation of the Shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional Shares for issuance under this Plan by the Company's stockholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each Participant that has not been applied to the purchase of Shares shall be paid to such Participant, without interest, in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date or such earlier date as determined by the Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4 <u>Withholding</u>. At the time a Participant's rights under this Plan are exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Shares issued under this Plan are disposed of, the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company's federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, that arise upon the exercise of the right or the disposition of the Shares. At any time, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant's compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including, without limitation, any withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Shares by the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5 <u>Conditions to Issuance of Shares</u>. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for, or make any book entries evidencing, Shares purchased upon the exercise of rights under this Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges, if any, on which the Common Stock is then listed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The payment to the Company of all amounts that it is required to withhold under federal, state or local law upon exercise of the rights, if any; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the rights as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

**ARTICLE VII.** 

**WITHDRAWAL; CESSATION OF ELIGIBILITY** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1 <u>Withdrawal</u>. A Participant may withdraw during an Offering Period all, but not less than all, of the payroll deductions credited to the Participant's account and not yet used to exercise the Participant's rights under

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
this Plan by delivering written notice to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company and at such time prior to the Purchase Date for such Offering Period as may be established by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document (and in the absence of any specific designation by the Administrator, no later than two weeks prior to the Purchase Date for such Offering Period). All of the Participant's payroll deductions credited to the Participant's account during such Offering Period not yet used to exercise the Participant's rights under this Plan shall be paid to such Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice of withdrawal, without interest, and such Participant's rights for such Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of Shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the immediately subsequent Offering Period unless the Participant timely delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>5.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2 <u>Future Participation</u>. A Participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have any effect upon a Participant's eligibility to participate in any similar plan that may hereafter be adopted by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, or in any subsequent Offering Periods that commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3 <u>Cessation of Eligibility</u>. Upon a Participant's ceasing to be an Eligible Employee for any reason, such Participant shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from this Plan pursuant to this Article VII, and the payroll deductions credited to such Participant's account during the Offering Period shall be paid, without interest, to such Participant or, in the case of the Participant's death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under <u>Section</u> <u>12.4</u>, as soon as reasonably practicable, and such Participant's rights for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated. If a Participant transfers employment from the Company or any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Section 423 Component to any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Non-Section 423 Component, such transfer shall not be treated as a termination of employment, but the Participant shall immediately cease to participate in the Section 423 Component; any contributions made for the Offering Period in which such transfer occurs shall be transferred to the Non-Section 423 Component, and such Participant shall immediately join the then-current Offering under the Non-Section 423 Component upon the same terms and conditions in effect for the Participant's participation in the Section 423 Component, except for such modifications otherwise applicable for Participants in such Offering. A Participant who transfers employment from any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Non-Section 423 Component to the Company or any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Section 423 Component shall not be treated as terminating the Participant's employment and shall remain a Participant in the Non-Section 423 Component until the earlier of (a) the end of the current Offering Period under the Non-Section 423 Component and (b) the Enrollment Date of the first Offering Period in which the Participant is eligible to participate following such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish different rules to govern transfers of employment between entities participating in the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component, consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

**ARTICLE VIII.** 

**ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 <u>Changes in Capitalization</u>. Subject to <u>Section</u> <u>8.3</u>, if the Administrator determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), change in control, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, as determined by the Administrator, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under this Plan or with respect to any outstanding purchase rights

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
under this Plan, the Administrator shall make equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to (a) the aggregate number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) that may be issued under this Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in <u>Section</u> <u>3.1</u> and the limitations established pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>4.2</u> (as may be modified by the Offering Document) on the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased); (b) the class(es) and number of Shares and price per Share subject to outstanding rights; and (c) the Purchase Price with respect to any outstanding rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 <u>Other Adjustments</u>. Subject to <u>Section</u> <u>8.3</u>, in the event of any transaction or event described in <u>Section</u> <u>8.1</u> or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any affiliate, or of changes in Applicable Law or accounting principles, the Administrator, in its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan or with respect to any right under this Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To provide for either (i) the termination of any outstanding right to purchase Shares granted under this Plan in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon the exercise of such right had such right been currently exercisable or (ii) the replacement of such outstanding right with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To provide that the outstanding rights to purchase Shares granted under this Plan shall be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar rights covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding rights to purchase Shares granted under this Plan and/or in the terms and conditions of outstanding rights and rights that may be granted under this Plan in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To provide that Participants' accumulated payroll deductions may be used to purchase Shares prior to the next occurring Purchase Date on such date as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, and the Participants' rights under the ongoing Offering Period(s) shall be terminated as of such prior purchase date; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) To provide that all outstanding rights to purchase Shares granted under this Plan shall terminate without being exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 <u>No Adjustment Under Certain Circumstances</u>. No adjustment or action described in this Article VIII or in any other provision of this Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Section 423 Component of this Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 <u>No Other Rights</u>. Except as expressly provided in this Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in this Plan or pursuant to action of the Administrator under this Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to outstanding rights under this Plan or the Purchase Price with respect to any outstanding rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2 <u>Certain Changes to Plan</u>. Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any Participant rights may be considered to have been adversely affected, subject to <u>Section</u> <u>9.1</u> and, solely with respect to the Section 423 Component of this Plan, to the extent permitted by Section 423 of the Code, the Administrator shall be entitled to change or terminate the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld from Compensation during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a Participant to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company's processing of payroll withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion to be advisable that are consistent with this Plan.

Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the Participant in such disposition or other transfer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.13 <u>Governing Law</u>. This Plan and actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.
