INTRODUCTORY NOTE

As previously disclosed, on January 6, 2025, Stryker Corporation, a Michigan corporation (“Stryker”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Inari Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Inari”), and, following its execution and delivery of a joinder thereto on January 7, 2025, Eagle 1 Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on January 17, 2025, Merger Sub commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Inari’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), at a price of $80.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable tax withholding (the “Offer Consideration”).

The Offer expired as scheduled at one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 18, 2025 (the “Expiration Time”) and was not extended. Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, the depository for the Offer (the “Depository”), advised Stryker and Merger Sub that, as of the Expiration Time, a total of 48,504,444 Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (excluding any Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received”), which tendered Shares represented approximately 81.69% of the aggregate number of outstanding Shares. Accordingly, the minimum tender condition in the Merger Agreement that the number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer (excluding any Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received”), when added to the Shares, if any, then-owned by Stryker or Merger Sub, represent at least a majority of the Shares outstanding as of immediately following the expiration of the Offer, is satisfied. Merger Sub has accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

Following consummation of the Offer, Stryker completed its acquisition of Inari by consummating the merger of Merger Sub with and into Inari (the “Merger”) in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), with Inari surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker (the “Surviving Corporation”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), and as a result of the Merger, each Share then issued and outstanding (other than (i) Shares owned by Inari or any wholly owned subsidiary of Inari as treasury stock or otherwise, (ii) Shares owned, directly or indirectly, immediately prior to the Effective Time, by Stryker or Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker, (iii) Shares irrevocably accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer and (iv) Shares held by any stockholder who was entitled to demand and had properly demanded appraisal of such

Shares pursuant to, and who had properly exercised and perfected their demand for appraisal under and complied in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL and who, as of the Effective Time, had not withdrawn in accordance with Section 262 their demand for appraisal under Section 262 with respect to such Shares), was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the Offer Consideration, in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each compensatory option to purchase Shares (a “Company Stock Option”), whether vested or unvested, which was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became fully vested and was canceled in exchange for the right of the holder of such Company Stock Option to receive (subject to any applicable withholdings) an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess (if any) of the Offer Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Stock Option. Additionally, at the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units representing the right to vest in and be issued Shares by Inari (a “Company RSU Award”) whether vested or unvested, which was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled in exchange for the right of the holder of such Company RSU Award to receive (subject to any applicable withholdings) an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Offer Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such Company RSU Award, together with any accrued and unpaid dividends corresponding to such Company RSU Award. For purposes of the foregoing clause (ii), the total number of Shares subject to a performance-based Company RSU Award was based on deemed achievement of maximum performance.

The total aggregate consideration paid by Merger Sub in the transaction was approximately $4.94 billion in cash. Stryker and Merger Sub funded the Offer and the Merger (including payments for Company Stock Options and Company RSUs, and net of cash on hand of Inari and its subsidiaries) from a combination of sources, including (a) available cash and cash equivalents of Stryker and its subsidiaries and (b) debt financings.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Inari’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 6, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, effective as of the Effective Time, Inari terminated the Inari Medical, Inc. 2020 Incentive Award Plan and the Inari Medical, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. Additionally, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, effective as of February 11, 2025, Inari terminated the Inari Medical, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, Stryker paid or caused to be paid, on behalf of Inari, all amounts necessary to satisfy and discharge in full the then-outstanding obligations of Inari under that certain Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2020, by and among Inari, Inari Medical International, Inc., the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all related credit documentation, the “Credit Facility”) and to terminate the Credit Facility and all commitments thereunder.

Inari intends to file with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 under
