  1. Proposal 2: Election of Directors

    Proposal 2: Election of Directors At the Annual Meeting, if Proposal 1 is approved, three Class III directors will be elected to serve until the 2025 Annual Meeting, and if Proposal 1 is not approved, the three Class III directors will be elected to serve until the 2027 Annual Meeting, and in either case, until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. As set forth in our Charter and Bylaws, prior to the approval of Proposal 1, the Board is divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the directors (or their respective successors) whose terms are then expiring are elected to serve a three year term. The current class structure is as follows (prior to the approval of Proposal 1): •Class I, consisting of Michelle McMurry-Heath, Guido J. Neels, and Guy P. Nohra, whose term will expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting and whose subsequent term would expire at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2028 Annual Meeting"); •Class II, consisting of John A. Bartholdson, Patrick J. Beyer, William A. Hawkins, Mary Kay Ladone, and Susan M. Stalnecker, whose current term would expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting and whose subsequent term would expire at the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2029 Annual Meeting"); and •Class III, consisting of Robert E. Claypoole, Philip G. Cowdy and Martin P. Sutter whose current term expires at the Annual Meeting and whose subsequent term would expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting. Our Board has nominated all of the current Class III directors for re-election at the Annual Meeting. If Proposal 1 is approved, beginning with the Annual Meeting, the directors whose terms are expiring will be elected for one-year terms. If Proposal 1 is not approved, the directors whose terms are expiring will continue to be elected for three-year terms as set forth above. In connection with the initial public offering of our Class A common stock in February 2021 (the “IPO”), we entered into a Stockholders Agreement with certain stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholders Agreement”) and our subsidiary, Bioventus LLC (“BV LLC”). Under the Stockholders Agreement, the Essex Stockholders (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) have designated Messrs. Neels (Class I), Hawkins (Class II) and Sutter (Class III) and the S+N Stockholders (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) have designated Mr. Cowdy (Class III) for election to the Board. As a result of the Stockholders Agreement and the aggregate voting power of the parties to the agreement, we expect that the parties to the agreement will significantly influence the election of directors. For more information, see “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Stockholders Agreement.” In the event that any of the nominees should become unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board or the Board may elect to reduce its size. The Board has no reason to believe that the nominees named below will be unable to serve if elected. Each of the nominees has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class III directors. Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the election of the below Class III director nominees.
