Information Concerning Meetings, Executive Sessions and Director Independence The Board held seven (7) regularly scheduled and one (1) special meetings during 2025. The Company’s independent directors meet at least twice a year in executive session without management present. The Board has determined that all of the Company’s directors, except for Ms. Poul and Dr. Essig, are independent, as defined by the applicable Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Dr. Essig does not qualify as an independent director due to the fact that he was employed by the Company as Executive Chairman during the past three years, with his employment ending on June 30, 2025 in connection with his transition to our Non-Executive Chairman.
Board Evaluations
Board Evaluations The Board performs a rigorous evaluation annually. Each Director evaluates each other and all of the Committees as well as the Board as a whole. The evaluation process is primarily managed by the Corporate Secretary’s office with oversight from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. As part of the evaluation, the Directors assess individual skill sets, board leadership, and the effectiveness of each Committee. The results of the evaluation are then provided to, and reviewed by, each Director. Afterwards, the Directors and management collaborate towards making improvements based on the feedback disclosed. The Company believes this overall process leads to purposeful results. In addition to the evaluations, each Committee also reviews its charter annually. For information about the factors considered by the Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in evaluating candidates, please refer to "Criteria for Board Membership and Director Qualifications" above. Our Board is committed to ensuring that it serves the best interests of its stockholders and positions the Company for future success. Accordingly, the Board, as it deems necessary, may have conversations with individual Directors in connection with evaluations, the board refreshment process, and the consideration of the annual slate of Director nominees. The Company expects to continue these practices going forward. Board Leadership Structure The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine the optimal leadership structure to best serve the interests of our stockholders. Given the dynamic and competitive environment in which we operate, the optimal size and structure of the Board may vary with changing internal and competitive circumstances. The Company currently has eight members of the Board, who will serve until the conclusion of the Annual Meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The current directors are Keith Bradley, Ph.D., Shaundra D. Clay, Stuart M. Essig, Ph.D., Jeffrey A. Graves, Ph.D., Barbara B. Hill, Renee W. Lo, Mojdeh Poul, and Christian S. Schade. All current members of the Board are nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Following the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, assuming all of the nominees for election are duly elected by our stockholders, the Board will consist of eight members. As indicated above, Ms. Poul has served as both President and Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company since January 2025. Her position is separate from that of the Chairman of the Board. We view having the Chairman position separate from the Chief Executive Officer as a good governance practice because it puts the Board in the best position to oversee all executives of the Company and set a pro-stockholder agenda without presenting potential conflicts that having the two positions combined might pose, thus resulting in a more effective Board. Stuart M. Essig, Ph.D. has served as Chairman of the Board since June 2012 and has been a director since 1997. He served as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board from June 2012 to February 2024 and since July 1, 2025. He served as Executive Chairman of the Board from January 2012 to June 2012 and from February 2024 to June 2025 as well as President from 1997 to 2010 and as Chief Executive Officer from 1997 to 2012. He has significant experience with, and knowledge of, the Company, its operations, products and history. In addition, he is a significant stockholder of the Company. We believe we benefit greatly by having a Chairman with his level of experience with the Company and whose interests are strongly aligned with those of our stockholders. We believe his experience and knowledge of the Company will aid our efforts to solidify and strengthen the operational foundations of the Company and enhance our ability to drive improved stockholder value. Barbara B. Hill has served as Presiding Director since September 2018 and she has been a director since 2013. Ms. Hill has significant experience with, and knowledge of, the Company, its operations, products and history. We believe the Company significantly benefits from having a Presiding Director with deep knowledge of the Company. In addition, the presence of an active and independent Presiding Director ensures independent oversight of the Board and its responsibilities. Further, we believe having a separate Presiding Director to, among other things, (1) serve as the primary liaison between the independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer, (2) counsel the Chief Executive Officer on key board governance issues, and (3) preside over board meetings if the Chairman of the Board is absent, leads to a more effective board of directors. The Presiding Director also serves as a contact person to facilitate communications between stockholders and other third parties and the independent directors. Please see “Communications with Directors” for additional information on contacting the Board.

We believe the mix of backgrounds, experience, attributes and skills of our directors provides a good balance for the Board composition. See “Criteria for Board Membership and Director Qualifications” above for a description of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each of our director nominees that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered relevant in nominating them and “Proposal 1. Election of Directors” for each director nominee’s biographical information. In addition, we believe the current size of the Board and Board Committees is appropriate, given the size, nature, structure and complexity of the Company. The Board continues, however, to monitor and evaluate the optimal size and composition of the Board to ensure an optimal leadership structure. Accordingly, we believe our Board leadership structure is appropriate at this time. The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight The Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of risk management at the Company, which includes overseeing our process for identifying, assessing and mitigating significant financial, operational, strategic, cybersecurity and other risks that may affect the Company. A fundamental part of risk oversight is understanding the risks that Integra faces, the steps management is taking to manage those risks, and assessing the Company's appetite for risk. The risk assessment process also considers whether risks are short-, medium-, or long-term, such that the management of significant risks can be prioritized, in part, based on the timeframe of such risks. Risk management systems, including our internal auditing procedures, internal control over financial reporting and corporate compliance programs, are designed in part to inform management about our material risks. Our Board receives regular reports from management on matters relating to strategic and operational initiatives, financial performance, cybersecurity and legal developments, including the related enterprise-risk exposures. The involvement of the Board in the oversight of our strategic planning process is a key part of its assessment of the risks inherent in our corporate strategy. The Board has delegated responsibility for the oversight of certain areas of risk management to the standing Committees of the Board, as described below. Each standing Board committee reports to the full Board following each committee meeting. In performing this function, each committee meets in executive session with key management personnel and representatives of outside advisors as needed and has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. The Board believes that delegating certain responsibilities and oversight functions to its committees, as described below, allows for more nuanced oversight processes, reflecting the technical expertise and subject matter focus of the Board's individual committees, and is also more conducive to a proactive oversight of management's actions. Summarized below are the specific risk areas of focus for each standing committee.

The Board is committed to oversight of the Company’s business strategy and strategic planning, including through the work of the Board committees and regular Board meetings. This ongoing effort enables the Board to focus on Company performance over the short, intermediate and long term. In addition to financial and operational performance, non-financial measures, including sustainability goals, are addressed by the Board and Board committees. The Company has also implemented an Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) program to further enhance its oversight of risks inherent to the business. The ERM programs helps Integra's management to identify, assess, manage and mitigate a broad range of risks across our businesses, regions and functions, and to ensure alignment of our risk assessment and mitigation efforts with our overall corporate strategy. This ERM program allows the Board and management to gain a greater understanding and awareness of risks facing the business and the efforts being undertaken to mitigate those risks. Additionally, the executive leadership team’s individual performance objectives are aligned with the top risks identified in the annual ERM process. In addition to periodic updates management provides to the Board on the ERM program, management presents an annual report to the Board detailing the Company’s processes for (1) assessing and addressing risks, (2) compliance reporting, and (3) the reporting of other material information. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who functions as our chief risk officer, is supported in this role by both our Chief Legal Officer and our Chief Compliance Officer, who reports to our Chief Legal Officer. As chief risk officer, our President and Chief Executive Officer has responsibility for ensuring management provides periodic updates to the Board or Board committees regarding risks in many areas, among them accounting, treasury, information systems, legal, governance, legislative (including reimbursement), general compliance (including sales and marketing compliance), quality, regulatory, corporate sustainability risks and opportunities, corporate development, operations and sales, marketing and cybersecurity. Both formal reports and less formal communications between the Board and our President and Chief Executive Officer derive from a continual flow of communication throughout the Company regarding risk and compliance. We believe our Board and senior management team promote a culture that actively identifies and manages risk. The ERM program, along with our annual processes for creating and reviewing with the Board our strategic plan, budget and internal audit plans, as well as regular processes and communications throughout the Company, including between management and the Board and Board committees, combine to ensure the Company is continually addressing its business risks in a disciplined fashion. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation Ms. Lo (chair), Ms. Hill and Dr. Graves are the current members of the Compensation Committee and served as members during the last completed fiscal year. None of our Compensation Committee members currently serves, nor did they ever serve, as an officer or employee or former officer of the Company or had any relationship requiring disclosure herein pursuant to SEC regulations. No executive officer of the Company served as a member of a Compensation Committee or a director of another entity under circumstances requiring disclosure under SEC regulations. Corporate Sustainability Strategy At Integra, our purpose of restoring lives is at the core of everything we do and informs our corporate sustainability strategy. Guided by our values, we seek to advance health with integrity and accountability. We strive to embed our purpose and values across every aspect of our business —from ethical governance to sustainable practices and transformational care and high-quality innovations. With our purpose and values as our guide, we are shaping a tomorrow where we play our part in making people, workplaces, and the world healthier. We view our corporate sustainability strategy as an extension of our company strategy, driving our success, stockholder value and the positive impact we strive to make in the lives of every patient and healthcare professional who encounter an Integra product, service or employee.

A double materiality approach aligns with evolving global standards, and strengthens stakeholder trust by providing greater transparency on our corporate sustainability impacts. Investors, customers, employees and regulators increasingly expect businesses to account for their contribution to a sustainable future. In addition to reinforcing our commitment to accountability and progress, double materiality enhances integration across strategy, decision-making and innovation, ensuring long-term business resilience. Our latest materiality assessment, conducted with input from key stakeholders, has provided deep insights into priority sustainability issues. As we continue to advance of our corporate sustainability efforts, we remain dedicated to refining our strategy to drive both business value and positive global impact. For more information regarding Integra's corporate sustainability strategy see our 2024 Environmental, Social, and Governance Report, which is available at https://www.integralife.com/esg-report. Such report, or any other information from the Integra website, are not part of, or incorporated by reference into, this proxy statement. Some of the statements and reports contain cautionary statements regarding forward-looking information that should be carefully considered. The Company recognizes its responsibility to be a good corporate citizen, guided by high moral and ethical standards in its interactions with customers, stockholders, employees and the community in which we operate. Our company purpose and values have long guided our corporate responsibility priorities. Such efforts include the following: Community & Philanthropy: Integra’s commitment improving patients’ lives goes beyond the walls of the operating room and extends to the global communities in which the Company participates. Integra has an extensive history of partnering with patients and working alongside organizations such as Wounded Warriors, the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation, the Phoenix Burn Society, and the Hydrocephalus Association, among many others. In addition, we donate products to organizations where our products can be used in teaching and research and development. The logistics of product donations are often complex, with many different regulatory and international rules, but we strive to make our products available to make a meaningful difference and change lives. The Company works closely with the Integra Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization which awards grants to other nonprofits that support medical education in plastic and reconstructive surgery, wound care, neurosurgery, neurotrauma, and neuromonitoring. It also provides grants for needs-based patient support and health education programs in our clinical areas of focus and within our regional communities. Each year Integra colleagues have the opportunity to connect with their communities and volunteer their time for community improvement projects such as supporting disaster relief efforts, charity walks and other charitable initiatives. Compliance & Ethics: Integra is committed to its Code of Conduct and to holding the Company accountable as a leader in the medical technology industry. The Company operates a comprehensive compliance program, which is supported by a training program led by Integra’s Chief Compliance Officer. Our comprehensive Code of Conduct reflects our expectation of compliance with laws, regulations, and codes of ethics relevant to our industry around the world. This Code of Conduct is on the Integra website and applies to all employees, including officers and directors, individuals and organizations that are suppliers to or third-party intermediaries for Integra. It establishes minimum requirements and expectations for the conduct of Integra’s business partners, and Integra encourages its partners to establish stricter or more extensive requirements where appropriate. Consistent with this policy, Integra will not tolerate any forms of slavery, servitude, forced labor and human trafficking, and business partners must not engage in any practice that constitutes any form of modern slavery. People: Integra believes its people are its greatest assets and understands that the work we do every day makes a significant, positive difference in improving patients’ lives. Attracting, developing, and retaining key talent is a high priority for our management team and our Board. We value creating an inclusive workplace environment and are committed to leveraging our different ideas, backgrounds, interests, and beliefs to make Integra a stronger, higher performing company and a place our employees, partners, and potential employees want to work. Education is critical to cultivating a culture of growth and development. Our onboarding approach includes learning about our business, products and markets, our culture, and creating meaningful and inclusive connections with colleagues on a broad-base. Our comprehensive human capital development programs are designed to support the personal success of our colleagues, because without them, we could not secure the success of our business. Continued learning and development is a critical component of employee job satisfaction, retention, and career advancement—and ultimately, a driver of business success. We regularly seek employee feedback and sentiment about our workplace through global engagement surveys conducted on an annual basis and we are committed to improving the quality of life of our employees and their families by offering numerous well-being programs and initiatives.

Organizational Culture: At all levels of the Company, Integra focuses on creating an inclusive culture that values the diversity of ideas, backgrounds and interests of our employees and community. Having a culture and workforce in line with this focus area is a business priority and key to the Company’s long-term success. The Company’s commitment to our culture starts at the top with our Board and Chief Executive Officer. A few of the Company’s notable efforts include but are not limited to the following:
Board Evaluations
| Board and Leadership Diversity | Through mentorship, sponsorship, recruitment efforts, and development programs the Company looks to continue to develop its leadership talent. Currently, 50% of the Board, 46% of our executive leaders and 37% of senior leaders (non-executive vice presidents) are female. | | Business Resource Groups | The Company supports representative resource groups, totaling eight in 2025. These resource groups provide opportunities for employees with shared interests and backgrounds to connect, learn and grow, while also working together to empower our employees, enhancing team dynamics, develop new skills and build a more inclusive and collaborative work environment across Integra. | | Commitment to an Inclusive Culture | We consider a welcoming and inclusive work environment central to our business strategy and long-term success. As an equal opportunity employer, Integra is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all qualified applicants and employees. A healthy, safe and respectful workplace, free from harassment, discrimination, intimidation and retaliation, is among our most important priorities as a company. Upon joining Integra, colleagues globally participate in two programs to promote a culture of inclusion: Introduction to Managing Unconscious Bias and Practicing Inclusion, courses that create awareness of different perspectives in the workplace and provide tools to build better collaboration skills. | | Building Our Talent Pipeline | The Integra Rotational Leadership Program (IRLP) has been a significant avenue for recruiting, educating, and retaining talent since it was established 14 years ago. Each new Rotational Associate serves in three eight-month assignments over two years that can include Operations, Quality, Regulatory, R&D, and other functions. These emerging leaders receive extensive onboarding, coaching, and exposure to Integra executives. |

Environmental Health, Safety & Security: Integra is committed to providing a safe environment for all employees and visitors and we seek to achieve the highest environmental health, safety and security ("EHS&S") standards for our employees, contractors and the communities where we work. Our EHS&S policy is implemented through a comprehensive EHS&S Management System, with oversight at every level of Integra. There are several core components to our EHS&S Management System, including leadership; employee participation; risk management, emergency preparedness and event management; monitoring performance and continuous improvement; and the management of contractors, third parties and external manufacturers in our supply chain. Managers are also entrusted to oversee and ensure health and safety at their respective sites and foster a workplace culture to achieve that end. We implement our approach globally by our systems and support at regional and country levels from colleagues that implement proper safety protocols, identify and correct hazards, and remain safety conscious at all times. Managers are expected to enforce health and safety regulations, including compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws. All employees at our sites receive training on workplace hazards. When needed, we perform exposure assessments, ergonomic assessments and industrial hygiene evaluations, using the expertise of local laboratories or third-party service providers. We continue to develop and refine our standards to our sites to address any identified issues and implement industry best practices. We conduct EHS&S audits for our locations to both ensure our compliance with regulatory requirements and identify opportunities for improvement.

Our EHS&S organizational structure incorporates both workplace EHS&S coordinators and compliance teams. We have developed an Incident Procedure Policy and General Safety Rules that guide our colleagues to improve our workplace environment, monitor our performance, improve safety, and reduce risk and costs. An EHS&S council includes key executives and business leaders and oversees the Company’s EHS&S policies, programs and performance, including approval of our policy, available on our corporate website. The corporate EHS&S team works with businesses and operational teams at our global sites to strengthen our EHS&S culture. Monthly, EHS&S joins a network of colleagues, from sites and functions and across the business to discuss key topics covering, for example, leadership skills, employee engagement and continuous improvement.

Risk Assessment Regarding Compensation Policies and Practices The Company recently conducted a risk assessment of our compensation policies and programs, including our executive compensation programs (which also covers certain other employees globally). We reviewed and discussed the findings of the assessment with the Compensation Committee and the full Board at its meeting in February 2026 and concluded that our compensation programs are designed with an appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to our overall business strategy and do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking behavior. As a result, we do not believe that risks relating to our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation Committee reviewed management’s report on the review and assessment of such compensation programs and approved these conclusions. In conducting this review, we considered the following attributes of our programs: •Mix of base salary, annual bonus opportunities and long-term equity compensation; •Balance between annual and long-term performance opportunities; •Alignment of annual and long-term incentives to ensure that the awards encourage consistent behaviors and achievable performance results, without encouraging excessive or unnecessary risk-taking; •Ability to use non-financial and other qualitative performance factors in determining actual compensation payouts; •Use of equity awards that vest over time, discouraging excessive or unnecessary risk-taking by senior leadership; •The provision of senior executives with long-term equity-based compensation on an annual basis. We believe as executives accumulate awards over a period of time, they are encouraged to take actions that promote the long-term sustainability of our business; •Stock ownership guidelines and vesting requirements that are reasonable and align the interests of the executive officers with those of our stockholders while discouraging executive officers from focusing on short-term results without regard for long-term consequences; and •Systems and processes in place to identify and assess risk. Our Compensation Committee considered the implications of our compensation practices during its deliberations on the design of our 2026 executive compensation programs, with the goal of appropriately balancing short-term incentives and long-term performance, in order to appropriately address risk.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION The Board believes that providing competitive compensation is necessary to attract and retain qualified non-employee directors. The key components of non-employee director compensation are an annual equity grant and an annual retainer, as described below. The Compensation Committee annually reviews compensation paid to non-employee directors and makes adjustments, as appropriate. In December 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed the compensation structure for non-employee directors, considered advice from its independent compensation consultant and approved: (i) an increase to the annual equity grant to all independent directors by $20,000 (from $220,000 to $240,000); (ii) an increase to the cash retainer paid to all non-executive directors by $5,000 (from $80,000 to $85,000); (iii) an increase to the equity retainer paid to the Chairman from $50,000 to $65,000; and (iv) an increase to the cash retainer paid to the Presiding Director by $2,500 (from $37,500 to $40,000). These increases, which took effect for the compensation period beginning with the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, were designed to elevate total director remuneration from below the market median to a level more closely aligned with the market median for the peer group of the Company. Additionally, in December 2024, to capture both the significance of the Company's Quality Committee and the time commitment associated with service on the Committee, the Compensation Committee approved payment of annual cash fee of $20,000 for the Chair of the Quality Committee and an annual cash fee of $7,500 for the other directors serving on the Quality Committee, effective, in each case, as of the Corporation's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As compensation for their service during the period beginning with the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, non-employee directors received an annual equity grant in the form of restricted stock with a fair market value on the date of grant of $240,000 (or $305,000 for the Chairman). Directors were slated to receive an annual retainer of $85,000, payable in one of three ways, at their election: (1) in cash, (2) in restricted stock, or (3) one half in cash and one half in restricted stock. In addition, the Company paid the following separate annual cash fees to certain directors as follows: (1) $15,000 for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair, (2) $15,000 for the Compensation Committee Chair, (3) $20,000 for the Audit Committee Chair, (4) $15,000 for the Finance Committee Chair, (5) $20,000 for the Quality Committee Chair, (6) $7,500 for members of the Quality Committee, (7) $40,000 for the Presiding Director and (8) $75,000 for the Chairman. The Company pays reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by non-employee directors in connection with attendance at meetings to transact business of the Company or attendance at meetings of the Board or any committee thereof. The following table provides details of the total compensation for non-employee directors in 2025. In addition, compensation paid to Dr. Essig in 2025 includes compensation paid to him in connection with his service as our Executive Chairman and, effective as of July 1, 2025, as the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board. There was no change to Dr. Essig's aggregate compensation in connection with his appointment to the role of Executive Chairman nor his transition to the role of Non-Executive Chairman.

Summary of Our 2025 Decisions The Compensation Committee makes decisions regarding NEO total compensation (base salary, annual bonus objectives and payments, and annual equity grants) in connection with our annual performance review process. The table below summarizes the Compensation Committee’s key decisions and provides information on updates to the compensation programs for 2025.
Director Compensation
| Factors That Guided Total Compensation Decisions | •Our executive compensation philosophy •Degree of achievement of key strategic financial and operational goals •Individual performance •Advancement of our organizational culture •Recommendations of our President and CEO (other than with respect to her own compensation) •Advice of an independent compensation consultant •Stockholder input •Market pay practices •Current and historical Integra compensation | | Key 2025 Compensation Decisions (See Pages 42–51 For More Information) | Base Salary Decisions NEOs received salary increases based on business performance, competitive compensation data and individual performance. NEOs received an increase aligned to our 2025 global merit budget and based on 2024 performance with the exception of Ms. Poul and Mr. McBreen. Ms. Poul was not eligible for a merit increase due to her hire date and Mr. McBreen received a lump sum payment of $22,531 in lieu of merit due to his position relative to market peers. | | | Cash Bonus Decisions In February 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the short-term incentive design, metrics and performance goals for NEOs, which cascades more broadly to all plan participants. In 2025, an individual performance modifier was introduced into the short-term incentive design. The individual performance modifier recognizes behaviors that contribute to long-term shareholder value. As a result of business performance goals in 2025 and the Compensation Committee's approved tariff adjustment to our reported adjusted EBITDA, the overall annual bonus pool was funded at 13.3% of target. The Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to approve bonus awards above the 13.3% funding level to: (i) recognize the contributions of the NEOs to advance our CMP, strengthening our quality systems and improving operations; and (ii) retain leadership as the Company continues to deliver on its transformation journey. The discretionary funding resulted in a total annual bonus pool funding at 40% of target, which was less than what was funded for the general employee population. |

| Key 2025 Compensation Decisions (See Pages 42–51 For More Information) | Equity Grant Decisions For NEOs, annual equity grants consist of 50% PSUs, 25% non-qualified stock options and 25% restricted stock awards (RSAs). The annual equity grant for Ms. Poul followed a similar structure with different grant dates than the other NEOs due to her date of hire. On January 6, 2025, the effective date of Ms. Poul’s hire, Ms. Poul received a portion of her annual equity grant consisting of 25% restricted stock units and 25% non-qualified stock options each with a fair market value of approximately $1,500,000, respectively. Ms. Poul received her PSU grant in March 2025 in alignment with the Company’s annual grant with a fair market value of approximately $3,000,000. In addition to the annual equity grant, Ms. Poul received a one-time, new hire grant of restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options, each with a fair market value of approximately $750,000, respectively. The one‑time equity award was granted as an employment inducement to secure her acceptance of the Chief Executive Officer role and to replace compensation she was expected forgo by not standing for re‑election to two external boards on which she previously served. | | Key 2025 Compensation Decisions (See Pages 42–51 For More Information) | PSU Performance Goals and Vesting Decisions The 2025 PSU target level goal is 5% annual organic revenue growth from 2024. The PSU's maximum level of performance is 7% annual organic revenue growth and the vesting percentage opportunity for this award is 150% when exceptional performance is achieved or surpassed. In February 2026, the Compensation Committee reviewed the annual organic revenue growth goal for 2025 performance as it relates to the vesting of 2023, 2024 and 2025 PSU grants. Based on the Company's performance, PSUs tied to the 2025 performance year vested at 0% of target for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 PSUs. | | Key 2026 Compensation Decisions | Starting with the 2026 annual equity grants, the Compensation Committee has approved the replacement of the grant of RSAs to the NEOs who previously received them with RSUs to better align to market practice. We also suspended the use of stock options due to their high share usage negatively impacting our burn rate and long-term share pool sustainability. Equity grants shall now consist of 50% RSUs and 50% PSUs for Ms. Poul and the other NEOs. Beginning with the 2026-2028 performance cycle, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with WTW, approved changes to the PSU award design to further align long‑term incentives with the Company’s strategic priorities and stockholder interests. Specifically, adjusted EBITDA margin will be used as a second performance metric for PSU awards. Under the revised PSU award program, each of the performance metrics will be weighted equally when determining achievement of performance goals under the revised PSU awards. In addition, the performance vesting percentage for achievement at the maximum level was increased from 150% to 200%. The Compensation Committee believes these changes will both better align our PSU award program with the market and our peers and drive improved top line and bottom line performance. Such changes will further align our plan with long-term value creation. | | Say-On-Pay Results And Stockholder Feedback | The Company continues to receive high levels of Say-on-Pay support, with 98.1% of votes cast in favor at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes this support, coupled with positive feedback from stockholders, to be an endorsement of our current program, which is considered as part of the Compensation Committee’s annual review. |

Supporting Our Pay-For-Performance Philosophy
Director Compensation
| In support of our pay-for-performance philosophy and achievement of strong Company performance, the majority of the total compensation opportunity that our President and CEO and other NEOs receive is “at-risk” and dependent upon future performance. Market-competitive base salaries are established to provide our NEOs with a stable and secure source of income with “at-risk” pay aligned to driving our five strategic pillars. Consistent with the Company’s overall executive compensation philosophy, NEOs are rewarded for their strong leadership and individual performance and provided with equity incentives to ensure alignment of their interests with those of our stockholders. For Ms. Poul, 87% of her target total direct compensation opportunity was at-risk, as shown below. On average, the target total direct compensation for our NEOs other than Ms. Poul that is at-risk is 76%. | The majority of total direct compensation for our NEOs, 87% for our President and CEO and an average of 76% for our other NEOs, is “at-risk” based on the achievement of specific performance goals and stock price performance. |
Stockholder Input On Executive Compensation
Over the course of 2025, we continued to gather feedback on our executive compensation program through ongoing shareholder engagement. Integra’s management team engaged with institutional shareholders representing approximately 40 percent of the outstanding shareholder base through investor events and direct meetings, where we discussed our strategy and execution priorities. Through these engagements, we received feedback on corporate strategy, governance and sustainability matters, as well as business and financial performance. Investor feedback continued to emphasize consistent execution, organic revenue growth, and cash flow generation as important indicators of business strength and key drivers of long-term shareholder value creation. To strengthen our pay-for-performance culture, the Compensation Committee considered our strong 2025 vote results and the feedback obtained from our investor outreach when making decisions relating to compensation for our NEOs for 2025. Our philosophy is to use performance metrics that directly align with our business strategy and stockholder interests. Based on these factors, annual organic revenue growth has been used as our long-term incentive performance shares metric since 2018. Beginning in 2026, we added a second performance metric, adjusted EBITDA margin, to the long-term incentive performance share design to complement the organic revenue growth metric. This ensures leaders are rewarded not only for growing the business, but for doing so profitably and sustainably. This further aligns our plan more closely with long-term value creation.
Role of the Compensation Committee
| Step 1: Input On Compensation | | Step 2: Compensation Committee Decisions | | Step 3: Compensation Committee Oversight | | At the beginning of each year, management, including the President and CEO, provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the compensation of the NEOs. The CEO does not make recommendations on her own pay. These recommendations take into consideration the competitive market pay data provided by the Board’s independent consultant, as well as an evaluation of the NEO’s role, performance and contributions to the Company’s results, as well as the individual’s long-term potential. (See more below on the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant.) | | The Compensation Committee considers these recommendations together with the input of our independent compensation consultant and subsequently the Compensation Committee determines the NEOs’ compensation, ensuring it is aligned with our compensation philosophy. All aspects of the CEO’s compensation are determined solely by the Compensation Committee, with input from the independent compensation consultant. | | For the coming year, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves: •Objectives for the CEO •Variable pay target opportunities for annual bonus and long-term equity incentives •Performance metrics for the annual bonus and equity grants The Compensation Committee ensures performance metrics are consistent with the financial, operational and strategic goals set by the Board, that the performance goals are sufficiently ambitious and that amounts paid (when target performance levels are achieved) are consistent with our executive compensation philosophy. |
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant The Compensation Committee engages WTW (formerly known as Willis Towers Watson) as its independent executive compensation consultant. WTW conducts thorough market analyses and offers strategic recommendations that serve as inputs for the Compensation Committee's decisions. WTW updates the Compensation Committee on pertinent market trends and evolving regulatory landscapes as it relates to executive compensation on an ongoing basis. In addition to reviewing executive compensation proposals presented by management, WTW collaborates closely with the Compensation Committee to validate and strengthen the pay-for-performance relationship and alignment with stockholders. Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the Compensation Committee has reviewed the SEC’s independence factors for compensation advisers and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent WTW from independently representing the Compensation Committee. In 2025, WTW provided executive compensation consulting services to the Company, for which aggregate fees were approximately $173,098. In addition to the executive compensation consulting services provided, WTW provided health and benefits, corporate risk and brokering, and additional rewards consulting services to the Company with total fees of $1,017,863. The decision to engage WTW to provide corporate risk and brokering, and additional rewards consulting services was recommended by management, and the Compensation Committee approved the provision of such other services.

| To help ensure we provide our NEOs with fair and market-competitive compensation and to support retention of our key leaders, we annually review the compensation provided to our executives against executives within our peer group of companies. In 2025, this peer group consisted of companies determined to be: •Similar in size (revenue and market capitalization), complexity and global reach to Integra; •In the healthcare equipment & supplies and medical technology or a similar industry; and •In competition with Integra for executive talent. | We generally position each element of compensation and the total compensation packages for executive officers to align with the 50th percentile of our peer group. |

Analysis of 2025 Compensation Decisions
Annual Bonus
Annual Bonus Our Performance Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) provides NEOs with the opportunity to earn a cash award when they deliver strong annual Company and individual performance. NEOs are eligible for bonus payments only if the Company achieves a threshold goal of at least 100% of prior year adjusted EBITDA. If 100% of prior year adjusted EBITDA is met, the Bonus Plan is funded. Actual bonuses are determined based on the Company’s achievement of annual performance goals determined by the Compensation Committee within the first 90 days of each year. The annual bonus pool is determined based on Company performance — revenue (40% weighting), adjusted EBITDA (40% weighting) and operating cash flow (20% weighting). These metrics were selected as they are key indicators of the strength of our business and we believe they drive long-term stockholder return. Additionally, an individual performance component was incorporated into the 2025 Bonus Plan and weighted at 20% for the NEOs, with the exception of the CEO whose bonus will continue to be weighted entirely on financial metrics. Each NEO has a target bonus opportunity, with no minimum (that is, the actual payment could be 0%) and a cap at 200% of their target. Actual annual bonuses paid may be modified based on an individual’s performance.
Annual Bonus Pool Funding
Annual Bonus Pool Funding The annual bonus pool is funded for all Bonus Plan participants based on individual and Company performance. The aggregate amount of the final payments to all participants, including the NEOs, may not exceed the overall funded pool. For 2025, the Company’s financial funding model was as follows:

Our reported results may be adjusted when comparing to our annual bonus targets for unusual events outside the control of Management including currency impact versus budget and unforeseen circumstances. We also may exclude or include certain transactions depending on their timing, such as acquisitions and divestitures, if these items were not included in the performance target. In 2025, we drove tangible operational progress while continuing to deliver for our customers and patients. As we continue on our transformation journey, 2025 was pivotal in our efforts to build a sustainable foundation. In connection with our implementation of the CMP, we completed baseline audits across all manufacturing facilities, conducted CMP training, and made significant progress in prioritizing our work streams and resources. Our operational and execution focus resulted in significant outcomes in key areas, namely Integra Skin supply reliability, healthier safety stock levels across our portfolio, and the early relaunch of PriMatrix and Durepair through a third-party manufacturing agreement. We experienced strong demand for our differentiated portfolio of leading brands and have begun to make important strategic investments in our processes and capacity expansion of our facilities and equipment to meet increasing demand and support future growth. In April 2025, the U.S. government announced new tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from dozens of countries, including China and the European Union member states. The unanticipated tariff actions affected our costs, supply chain efficiency, and market demand. The tariff actions occurred after the annual incentive goals were approved resulting in financial impacts that were not contemplated when targets were established. The tariff‑related pressures did not reflect underlying operational performance but rather represented unexpected macroeconomic shocks beyond management’s control. After the tariffs were implemented, the Compensation Committee determined applying a limited, one-time tariff adjustment was appropriate to ensure incentive outcomes fairly reflected management’s performance in navigating these external conditions. The Compensation Committee concluded that a one-time adjustment better aligned pay with performance and supported the Company’s pay‑for‑performance philosophy by recognizing management’s effective stewardship through highly unpredictable trade conditions. Absent the tariff adjustment referenced above, actual financial results under the annual cash bonus plan would have fallen below the adjusted EBITDA gate, despite strong execution on controllable operating priorities and effective management mitigation efforts. The chart below shows our achievements against the performance targets for each metric in 2025:
Annual Bonus Pool Funding
| Revenue | Adjusted EBITDA | Operating Cash Flow | | ($ in Millions) | ($ in Millions) | ($ in Millions) |
Annual Bonus Pool Funding
| Achieved 94.5% of Target | Achieved 94.2% of Target | Achieved 29.5% of Target |
Annual Bonus Pool Funding
The specific revenue metric adjustment reviewed and made by the Compensation Committee for 2025, as reflected in the graph above, included an adjustment for constant currency to eliminate any fluctuations when calculating performance result. Revenue was adjusted by $11 million to $1,624 million from $1,635 million. The specific adjusted EBITDA adjustment reviewed and made by the Compensation Committee for 2025, as reflected in the graph above, included an adjustment for unanticipated tariff actions. Adjusted EBITDA was adjusted by $6.5 million to $324 million from $317.5 million. See "Appendix A - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

Annual Bonus Pool Funding
Following the Compensation Committee's approval of a tariff adjustment to adjusted EBITDA, the overall annual bonus pool was funded at 13.3% of target. The Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to approve bonus awards above the 13.3% funding level to: (i) recognize the contributions of the NEOs to advance our CMP, strengthen our quality systems and improve operations, and drive strong commercial execution; and (ii) retain leadership as the Company continues to deliver on its transformation journey. The discretionary funding resulted in a total annual bonus pool funding at 40% of target which was less than the general employee population and which the Committee believed was appropriate to recognize and reward resilience and continued focus on delivering to our customers and patients. Mr. McBreen received additional funding in recognition of his individual assessed performance at an exceeds rating and his exceptional leadership in delivering differentiated commercial execution despite supply challenges as well as advancing product portfolio innovation. For the actual annual bonus amounts paid for fiscal year 2025, see “—2025 Annual Bonus (Paid in March 2026)” below. In determining the awards for NEOs, the Compensation Committee considered the bonus pool funding as well as the collective and individual performance of our NEOs, noting the following accomplishments in areas spanning our financial, strategic, operational and people and culture progress.

Equity Grants
Equity Grants Equity grants help to align executive interests with those of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee considers Company performance, individual performance, long-term potential and market practice when determining the value and type of equity. We award an annual grant mix of time-based vesting equity awards (comprised of either RSAs or RSUs), non-qualified stock options and PSUs, as shown below. Ms. Poul's annual equity grant contained a mix of 25% RSUs, 25% stock options and 50% PSUs in 2025. Ms. Poul received a one-time grant of 50% RSUs and 50% stock options in connection with her hire in 2025, which is not reflected in the charts below.

2025 Equity Compensation Decisions The Compensation Committee reviewed the target total direct compensation of our NEOs compared to our peers and made market adjustments to annual equity grant values to continue to be competitive with our peer group. In January 2025, Ms. Poul received a portion of her annual equity grant consisting of 25% restricted stock units and 25% non-qualified stock options each with a grant date fair market value of approximately $1,500,000, respectively. In addition, Ms. Poul received a one-time grant of restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options each with a grant date fair market value of approximately $750,000. The one‑time equity award was granted as an employment inducement to secure her acceptance of the Chief Executive Officer role and to replace compensation she was expected to forgo by not standing for re‑election to two external boards on which she previously served. Ms. Poul received her PSU grant in March 2025 in alignment with the company’s annual grant with a grant date fair market value of approximately $3,000,000. In March 2025, each of the other NEOs received an annual equity grant of PSUs, non-qualified stock options and time-based vesting equity awards.

Using Organic Revenue Growth As The PSU Performance Metric
Using Organic Revenue Growth As The PSU Performance Metric Annual organic revenue growth is the performance metric for PSU awards as it is a key indicator of the strength of our business and stockholder return. Organic revenue consists of total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates, revenues from current-period acquisitions and product divestitures and discontinuances. Organic revenue growth is the increase in organic revenue compared to the prior year. The three-year annual organic revenue growth goal is derived from a rigorous process that involves input and discussions among the Compensation Committee, CEO and management. We annually review the metrics (and related targets) used in our annual bonus and equity programs to ensure they remain aligned to Integra’s strategic plan. Beginning with the 2026-2028 performance cycle, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with WTW, approved changes to the PSU award design to further align long‑term incentives with the Company’s strategic priorities and stockholder interests. Specifically, adjusted EBITDA margin will be used as a second performance metric for PSU awards. Adjusted EBITDA margin consists of our adjusted EBITDA divided by our GAAP revenues. Under the revised PSU award program, each of the performance metrics will be weighted equally when determining achievement of performance goals under the revised PSU awards. In addition, the performance vesting percentage for achievement at the maximum level was increased from 150% to 200%. The Compensation Committee believes these changes will both better align our PSU award program with the market and our peers and drive improved top line and bottom line performance. Such changes will further align our plan with long-term value creation.
PSU Vesting For Equity Grants
PSU Vesting For Equity Grants For the 2023, 2024 and 2025 PSU grants, each NEO is eligible to receive shares of the Company’s common stock ranging from 0% to 150% of target based on the Company’s achievement of an annual organic revenue growth goal over the prior year’s organic revenue amount during each fiscal year of the performance period as follows:

PSU Grant Vesting Based on 2025 Performance Results
PSU Grant Vesting Based on 2025 Performance Results 2025 was a pivotal year in our transformation. We drove tangible operational progress while continuing to deliver for our customers and patients. We experienced strong demand for our differentiated portfolio of leading brands and have begun to make important strategic investments in our quality management systems processes and capacity expansion of our facilities and equipment to meet increasing demand and support future growth. Notwithstanding these achievements, in February 2026, the Compensation Committee determined that the Company did not exceed the threshold goal level set with respect to the Company's growth in annual organic revenue for fiscal year 2025 for the PSUs granted in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Accordingly, the portions of such grants eligible to vest in 2026 based on the Company's performance in fiscal 2025 did not vest.

Starting in 2026, we have transitioned from issuing RSAs and will replace with RSUs for the other NEOs to better align to market practice. We also suspended the use of stock options due to their high share usage negatively impacting our burn rate and long-term share pool sustainability. Transitioning to 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs allows us to maintain competitive pay while significantly reducing dilution and maintaining a similar performance-orientation of our annual equity program.

Timing of Equity Grants
Timing of Equity Grants Annual equity awards, including stock options, are typically granted during an open trading window following the Company’s earnings release for the prior fiscal year. For new hires, equity awards, including stock options, are typically granted on the first of the month following their hire. Under the ESPP, eligible employees, including the NEOs, may purchase shares at a discount, with purchase dates taking place on the last trading day of each fiscal year using payroll deductions accumulated during the prior twelve-month period. The Compensation Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards, including stock options, and the Company does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. During fiscal 2025, no stock options were granted to the NEOs in the period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of any Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information.

Impact of Accounting and Tax Requirements on Compensation
Impact of Accounting and Tax Requirements on Compensation In structuring compensation arrangements, the Compensation Committee considers that Section 162(m) of the Code limits the deductibility of compensation paid to the CEO, CFO and other NEOs and certain other officers to $1.0 million per year, but their decisions are not driven by this limitation. We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, which requires us to recognize compensation expense for share-based payments (including non-qualified stock options, RSAs, RSUs, PSUs and other forms of equity compensation). The Compensation Committee regularly considers the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to equity compensation awards. As accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs to appropriately align accounting expenses of our equity awards with our overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives. Although the Compensation Committee generally considers the tax and accounting implications of its compensation decisions, the primary drivers for determining the amount and form of executive compensation are the attraction, motivation and retention of executive talent rather than the Internal Revenue Code or accounting requirements. Employment and Post-Employment Arrangements We do not have employment agreements with our NEOs other than Ms. Poul and our former President & Chief Executive Officer, Mr. De Witte.
Change-in-Control Severance Agreements for Other Named Executive Officers
Change-in-Control Severance Agreements for Other Named Executive Officers Effective January 1 through December 31, 2025, we adopted a change in control severance program (the “Program”) under which Ms. Knight and Messrs. Davis, McBreen, and Singh were participants. The Program provides for the payment of severance and other benefits to the executives in the event of a “qualifying termination,” which means a termination of employment with the Company without “cause” or by the executive for “good reason,” in either case, on or within two years following a “change in control” of the Company (each, as defined in the Program), which was the same under the expired change-in-control severance agreement. The Program does not provide for any excise tax gross-ups and has double-trigger cash payments. In the event of a qualifying termination, the Change-in-Control Severance Agreements provide for: •A lump sum payment equal to 1.5 times (or 2.0 times in the case of Ms. Knight) the sum of the executive’s annual base salary and target bonus; •A lump sum payment equal to a pro rata portion of the executive’s target annual bonus for the partial fiscal year in which the termination occurs; •Company-subsidized COBRA premium payments for up to eighteen months following the termination date; and •Company-paid outplacement services for up to twelve months following the termination date. The executive’s right to receive the severance payments and benefits described above is subject to his/her delivery and non-revocation of an effective general release of claims in favor of the Company. The Change-in-Control Severance Agreements clarified that to the extent the executive has not yet received his/her annual bonus for his/her prior year’s performance with the Company, the executive shall still receive such annual bonus for prior year performance at the time non-terminated employees receive such annual bonus if such payment is due. In addition, under the Change-in-Control Severance Agreements, to the extent that any change in control payment or benefit would be subject to an excise tax imposed in connection with Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, such payments and/or benefits may be subject to a “best pay cap” if such reduction would result in a greater net after-tax benefit to the executive than receiving the full amount of such payments. The Program was renewed effective January 1, 2026 and will expire December 31, 2026 unless renewed again by the Compensation Committee. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, however, the term of the Program will automatically be extended until the two-year anniversary of the date on which the change in control occurs. In addition, if an executive participant incurs a qualifying termination during the term of the Program, the term automatically will be further extended until each party’s rights and obligations are fully satisfied.

Executive Severance Plan for Other Named Executive Officers
Executive Severance Plan for Other Named Executive Officers Effective February 24, 2026, we adopted the Integra LifeSciences Executive Separation Pay Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”) which provides certain severance benefits to the Company’s Executive Leadership Team, including Ms. Knight and Messrs. Davis, McBreen, and Singh, upon a Qualifying Termination (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan). Severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan include: •A cash severance payment equal to twelve (12) Months of Base Pay (the “Severance Payment”) payable over 12 months (the “Separation Period”). •A pro-rated bonus payment for the calendar year in which the relevant Qualifying Termination occurred in an amount equal to the actual bonus payment which would have been paid to the Participant had such Participant remained in continuous employment through the end of the calendar year of the bonus period and pro-rated based on the number of calendar days the Participant was employed by the Company during the calendar year of the Qualifying Termination, subject to (i) the Participant having remained continuously employed by the Company for a minimum of nine (9) months during the calendar year of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination and (ii) the funding of the Company, individual performance of the Employee and any additional eligibility criteria for such bonus payment. •For Participants enrolled in Company-sponsored medical, dental and/or vision coverage, payment in an amount equal to the Company’s contribution towards such health coverage, as in effect for similarly situated active employees (as applicable, based on the Participant’s enrollment status and covered dependents, if any) covering a period through the earlier of (x) the end of the Separation Period, or (y) the date the Participant becomes eligible for group medical care coverage through other employment benefits for them and their eligible dependents through the continuation of coverage provisions. •Eligibility for outplacement services during the Separation Period. The Severance Payment will be paid in substantially equal installments during the Separation Period. The Executive Severance Plan provides that none of a termination of employment for unsatisfactory job performance, voluntary resignation or retirement, termination due to death, or disability, termination in connection with a divestiture where continued employment is offered, or certain other terminations or separations as set forth in the Executive Severance Plan will be considered a Qualifying Termination under the terms of the Executive Severance Plan. Payment of benefits under the Executive Severance Plan is subject to: (i) the execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims, (ii) compliance with applicable post-employment restrictive covenants, (iii) applicable tax withholdings, and (iv) clawback in the event of a violation of the general release of claims.

CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure We are required by SEC rules and regulations to disclose the annual total compensation for our CEO, an estimate of the median annual total compensation for our worldwide employee population excluding our CEO, and the ratio of annual total compensation for our CEO to the annual total compensation for our median employee. As is permitted under the SEC rules, we identified a new estimated median employee because we reasonably believe the continued transformation of the Company would result in a significant change in our pay ratio disclosure for 2025. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the annual total compensation for our CEO was $9,375,551 as reported in the Summary Compensation Table and the annual total compensation for our median employee was $86,747 calculated in accordance with the rules applicable to the Summary Compensation Table. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we estimate the annual total compensation for our CEO was one hundred and ten (110) times that of our median employee. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices, our pay ratio disclosure is a reasonable estimate. In addition, the pay ratio reported by other companies in our peer group may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as these other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. For purposes of identifying our median employee, we used our worldwide employee population as of October 1, 2025. As permitted by SEC rules and regulations, we excluded all of our employees in China (159 employees), India (27) and in the Republic of Korea (9 employees) because they account for 5% or less of Integra’s total U.S. and non-U.S. employee population. By excluding these employees, we reduced the total number of our U.S. and non-U.S. employees considered in determining the median employee from 4,397 to 4,202. We used income (full year actual 2025 base pay earnings, bonus, commission and overtime) as reported for federal income tax purposes for employees employed in the United States and an equivalent measure for employees employed in foreign jurisdictions for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2025 as our consistently applied compensation measure, and we annualized this amount for employees who commenced employment during that period. We applied this methodology to our worldwide employee population and did not use any form of statistical sampling.
