    Explanatory Note
    Avanos Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing an amendment to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2025 (the “Original Form 8-K”) solely for the purpose of amending and restating Item 5.02 in its entirety to correct an inadvertent omission of the fact that David Pacitti serves on the Board of Directors of Orchestra BioMed Holdings, Inc. Other than as set forth in this Explanatory Note, this amendment does not amend any other disclosures in the Original Form 8-K.
    Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
    On March 17, 2025, Avanos Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the appointment of David Pacitti as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, effective April 14, 2025.
    Mr. Pacitti, age 59, will join the Company from Siemens Healthineers, a healthcare technology company, where he has served as President and Head of the Americas since February 2018. From October 2015 to February 2018, he served as President and Head of Healthcare, North America for Siemens Healthineers. Prior to that, he held several leadership roles at Abbott Vascular, including Division Vice President of U.S. Commercial Operations, Sales and Marketing and Vice President of Global Marketing. Mr. Pacitti joined Abbott Vascular upon its acquisition of Guidant Corporation, where he served in positions of increasing responsibility from 1995 to 2006. Mr. Pacitti has served on the Board of Directors of Orchestra BioMed Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OBIO), a biomedical innovation company, since March 2024. He also serves on the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of Orchestra BioMed Holdings, Inc. Mr. Pacitti is a former offensive lineman for the Miami Dolphins.
    On March 14, 2025, Mr. Pacitti and the Company entered into an offer letter pursuant to which he will receive a base salary of $1,050,000 per year. In addition, he will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual cash incentive program with a bonus target of 110% of his base salary and will be eligible for annual long-term incentive grants under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan with a target award value for 2026 of $5,000,000. In lieu of a 2025 long-term incentive award, Mr. Pacitti will receive a one-time equity award of performance-based restricted share units (“PRSUs”) with an award value equal to $3,500,000. Such PRSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date (the “PRSU Vesting Date”) and will pay out: (i) at 50% of the number of PRSUs if the price of the Company’s common stock on the PRSU Vesting Date is $20.00; (ii) at 100% of the number of PRSUs if the price of the Company’s common stock on the PRSU Vesting Date is $25.00; (iii) at 200% of the number of PRSUs if the price of the Company’s common stock on the PRSU Vesting Date is $29.00; and (iv) at 250% of the number of PRSUs if the price of the Company’s common stock on the PRSU Vesting Date is $33.00 or higher. In addition, Mr. Pacitti will receive a one-time equity award of time-based restricted share units (“TRSUs”) with an award value equal to $3,500,000. Such TRSUs will vest 30% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date. Finally, Mr. Pacitti will receive a one-time $500,000 cash payment within 30 days of his start date. Mr. Pacitti will be eligible to participate in the standard employee benefit plans generally available to the Company’s executive employees, including medical, dental, vision and life insurance; flexible spending accounts; Company-paid disability programs; and a matching 401(k) plan. He will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan, Severance Pay Plan and Executive Level Relocation Program.
    The foregoing description of Mr. Pacitti’s offer letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the offer letter, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
    Mr. Pacitti was not selected pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any other person, and he has no family relationships with any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. There have been no related person transactions between the Company and Mr. Pacitti reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
