Forward-Looking Statements

This proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the plans and expectations under its sustainability initiatives of ICU Medical, Inc. (the “Company”). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘could,’’ “future,” “outlook,” “guidance,” ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘target,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘contemplate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘predict,’’ ‘‘potential,’’ ‘‘continue,’’ or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words.

These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Proxy Statement, including but not limited to the factors, risks and uncertainties included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Investors Relations section of the Company’s website, www.icumed.com. These and other important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this Proxy Statement. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s estimates as of the date of this Proxy Statement. While the Company may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, unless required by applicable law, the Company disclaims any obligation to do so, even if subsequent events cause its views to change. Thus, one should not assume that the Company’s silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any date after the date of this Proxy Statement.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY MATERIALS

Voting Information

Why have I received a “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials”?

As permitted by SEC rules, we are making this Proxy Statement and our 2025 Annual Report available to certain of our stockholders electronically via the Internet. On or about April 2, 2026, we mailed to these stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Internet Notice”) containing instructions on how to access this Proxy Statement and our 2025 Annual Report and vote online. If you received an Internet Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail unless you specifically request them. Instead, the Internet Notice instructs you on how to access and review all of the important information contained in the Proxy Statement and 2025 Annual Report. We encourage you to access and review the Proxy Statement and 2025 Annual Report in advance of voting. The Internet Notice also instructs you on how you may submit your proxy over the Internet or via telephone. If you received an Internet Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, follow the instructions for requesting such materials set forth on the Internet Notice.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Internet Notice or more than one set of proxy materials?

It means that your shares are held in more than one account at the transfer agent and/or with banks or brokers. Please vote all of your shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each Internet Notice or set of proxy materials, please submit your proxy by phone, via the Internet, or, if you received printed copies of the proxy materials, by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is March 20, 2026. You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting only if you are a stockholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. Each share of our common stock entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to our stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

How do I submit my proxy?

You will have the opportunity to attend the virtual Annual Meeting and vote electronically during the virtual Annual Meeting if you choose. Whether or not you attend and vote electronically during the virtual Annual Meeting, it is important that your shares be represented and voted. If you are a stockholder of record, you can give a proxy to have your shares voted at the virtual Annual Meeting in one of the following three ways:

•by signing, dating, and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope, if you received paper copies of these materials. Proxy cards submitted by mail must be received by the Company no later than May 12, 2026 in order for your shares to be voted;

•electronically, via the Internet by accessing www.proxyvote.com using your control number on your proxy card until 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on May 12, 2026; or

•over the telephone by calling toll free number 1-800-690-6903 until 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on May 12, 2026.

The Internet and telephone proxy submission procedures are set up for your convenience and are designed to verify your identity, to allow you to give voting instructions, and to confirm that those instructions have been properly recorded.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record (shares held in “street name”), you may vote by submitting voting instructions in the manner prescribed by your bank, broker or nominee. Your broker or nominee has enclosed or provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or nominee how to vote your shares. In most instances, you will be able to do this on the Internet, by telephone or by mail as indicated above.

How can I attend and vote my shares during the virtual Annual Meeting?

The procedures for attending and voting during the Annual Meeting are designed to verify your identity and allow you to vote. You should retain the attachment to the proxy card enclosed with this Proxy Statement on which your unique control number appears. You will need to write this control number on your ballot to verify your identity. Note that if your shares are held in “street name,” you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your control number or otherwise vote through your bank or broker. If you lose your control number, you may join the Annual Meeting as a “Guest,” but you will be in listen-only mode and will not be able to vote, ask questions or access the list of stockholders as of the Record Date.

To vote during the meeting, visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ICUI2026 and vote electronically. Electronically submitted ballots must be received before the polls are closed during the Annual Meeting to be counted.

Even if you currently plan to electronically attend the virtual Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting. If you vote by proxy and then decide to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, you will be able to vote electronically during the Annual Meeting if you wish to change your vote.

How can I ask questions at the 2026 Annual Meeting?

The 2026 Annual Meeting will include a question and answer session, during which we will answer questions submitted in accordance with the meeting rules posted on the meeting website (www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ICUI2026) and that are relevant to the proposals to be voted on. Only stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “How can I attend and vote my shares during the virtual Annual Meeting?” will be permitted to submit questions during the Annual Meeting. Stockholders will have an opportunity to submit written questions via the Internet at any time during the meeting by following the instructions that will be available on the meeting website. Stockholders may also submit written questions in advance of the Annual Meeting at proxyvote.com before 11:59 P.M Eastern Time on May 12, 2026. In both cases, stockholders must have available their control number.

As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer appropriate questions submitted during the meeting and that relate to the matters to be voted on. We intend to reserve up to 10 minutes before the closing of the polls to address questions submitted. Only stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “How can I attend and vote my shares at the virtual Annual Meeting?” will be able to submit questions during the Annual Meeting. Additionally, our Annual Meeting will follow “Rules of Conduct,” which will be available on our Annual Meeting webpage for stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder (rather than a “Guest”). Under these Rules of Conduct, a stockholder may ask up to two questions, and we will not address questions that are, among other things:

•irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Annual Meeting;

•related to information beyond that which is contained in our prior public disclosures;

•related to material non-public information of the Company;

•related to personal grievances;

•derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise in bad taste;

•substantially repetitious of statements already made by another stockholder;

•in furtherance of the stockholder’s personal or business interests; or

•out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting as determined by the Chair of the Annual Meeting or the Corporate Secretary in their reasonable judgment.

Why didn’t I receive a printed copy of the proxy materials?

As permitted by the SEC rules, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials and 2025 Annual Report online instead of sending all stockholders a full set of printed proxy materials. Stockholders will not receive paper copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. We believe that electronic delivery provides you with prompt access to our proxy materials, lowers our costs of printing and delivering proxy materials, and minimizes the environmental impact of printing paper copies. You should have already received the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access the proxy materials and vote. If you would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, see below.

How can I request a paper or e-mail copy of the proxy materials?

You may receive a paper or e-mail copy of the proxy materials free of charge by requesting a copy prior to April 29, 2026, to facilitate timely delivery, through one of the following:

•By Internet: www.proxyvote.com

•By telephone: 1-800-579-1639

•By e-mail: sendmaterial@proxyvote.com

Where can I find the voting results?

We will announce the preliminary voting results at the virtual Annual Meeting. We also will report the final voting results on a Form 8-K, which we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the virtual Annual Meeting has been held.

How will my proxy be voted?

If you are a record holder and submit your proxy without instructions as to how it is to be voted, the proxy holders identified on the proxy will vote your shares as follows:

•FOR proposal 1, the election as directors of the seven director nominees named in this Proxy Statement;

•FOR proposal 2, the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026;

•FOR proposal 3, the advisory vote to approve executive compensation paid to our named executive officers;

•FOR proposal 4, the amendment of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to adopt simple majority voting provisions;

•FOR proposal 5, the amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to adopt a stockholder right to call special meetings at an ownership threshold of 25%;

•FOR proposal 6, approval of an adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve Proposal 5; and

•AGAINST proposal 7, an advisory vote on a stockholder proposal to establish a 10% stockholder special meeting right.

If you indicate voting instructions when you submit your proxy, the proxy holders will follow your instructions in casting votes. If you hold your shares through a broker and do not instruct the broker on how to vote your shares, your shares will not be voted for proposal 1, proposal 3, proposal 4, proposal 5, proposal 6 or proposal 7 each of which are non-routine matters, as applicable, and instead will be considered a “broker non-vote” as to each of those proposals. If you do not instruct the broker on how to vote your shares on proposal 2, the broker will be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote your uninstructed shares on proposal 2.

The Board does not know of any matters that will come before the Annual Meeting other than those described in the Notice of Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, then the proxy holders will have discretion to vote on such matters as they see fit.

Your vote is important. Thank you for voting.

Voting Matters and Board Recommendations

The Board is not aware of any matter that will be presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting other than those shown below.

Broker Non-Votes. The term “broker non-votes” refers to shares held by a broker in “street name” that are present by proxy but are not voted pursuant to rules prohibiting brokers from voting on non-routine matters without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Broker non-votes on non-routine matters are not counted as entitled to vote on a matter in determining the number of affirmative votes required for approval of the matter but are counted as present for quorum purposes. Of the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting, only the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm is considered to be a routine matter on which brokers may vote without instructions from beneficial owners. The election of directors, the advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation, the approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to adopt simple majority voting provisions, the approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to adopt a stockholder right to call special meetings at an ownership threshold of 25%, the approval of an adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve Proposal 5 and the advisory vote to approve a stockholder proposal to establish a 10% stockholder special meeting right are considered non-routine matters on which brokers may not vote without instructions from the beneficial owners.

Votes Withheld and Abstentions. Under our Bylaws, a share present at the meeting but for which there is an abstention or as to which a stockholder gives no authority or direction as to a particular proposal (“votes withheld”), shall be counted as present for purpose of establishing a quorum but shall not be counted as a vote cast for or against the proposal.

Assuming that a quorum is present, the votes required to approve the matters before the Annual Meeting are as follows:

•Proposal 1. Election of Directors: The election of directors will be decided by a plurality of the votes cast. The seven director nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “for” votes will be elected. Votes marked "withheld" and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. In addition, under our Bylaws, in an uncontested election of directors (one in which the only nominees are those nominated by the Board), any nominee who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" from his or her election than votes "for" his or her election shall, within 10 days following the certification of the stockholder vote, tender his or her written resignation to the Chairperson of the Board for consideration by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of the Board ("the Nominating Committee"). The Nominating Committee shall consider such tendered resignation and within 60 days following the certification of the stockholder vote, shall make a recommendation to the Board concerning the acceptance or rejection of the resignation.

•Proposal 2. Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm: Stockholder approval of this matter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter affirmatively or negatively. Abstentions will not affect the outcome of this proposal. As brokers have the discretionary authority to vote uninstructed shares on this matter, broker non-votes are not expected for this proposal.

•Proposal 3. Advisory vote to approve our Named Executive Officer Compensation: Stockholder approval of this matter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter affirmatively or negatively. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

•Proposal 4. Vote to approve an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to adopt simple majority voting provisions: Stockholder approval of this matter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect as a vote against this proposal.

•Proposal 5. Vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to adopt a stockholder right to call special meetings at an ownership threshold of 25%: Stockholder approval of this matter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

•Proposal 6. Vote to approve an adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve Proposal 5: Stockholder approval of this

matter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter affirmatively or negatively. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

•Proposal 7. Advisory vote on a stockholder proposal to establish a 10% stockholder special meeting right: Stockholder approval of this matter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter affirmatively or negatively. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Board Recommendations

The Board recommends that you vote:

•FOR the election of the seven nominees for election to the Board to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors have been elected and qualified;

•FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026;

•FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of our named executive officer compensation;

•FOR the amendment of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to adopt simple majority voting;

•FOR the amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to adopt a special meeting right at an ownership threshold of 25%;

•FOR the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies to approve Proposal 5; and

•AGAINST the stockholder proposal to establish a 10% stockholder special meeting right.

Revoking or Changing Your Vote

A stockholder giving a proxy may revoke its vote at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by filing with the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes important information regarding the executive compensation program at ICU Medical, Inc. It describes our compensation philosophy, objectives regarding the compensation of our named executive officers, our compensation policies and practices, and determinations related to executive compensation specific to 2025. For 2025, our “named executive officers” representing the five executive officers disclosed in the compensation tables below were:


Vivek Jain			Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chairman of the Board
Brian Bonnell			Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Treasurer
Christian Voigtlander			Chief Operating Officer (“COO”)
Daniel Woolson			President
Virginia Sanzone			Corporate Vice President, General Counsel

Executive Summary

Our executive compensation program is designed to provide a total compensation package intended to attract and retain high-caliber executive officers and employees, as well as incentivize employee contributions that are consistent with our corporate objectives and stockholder interests. Our Compensation Committee, comprised solely of independent directors, believes it is important to provide a competitive total compensation package and share our success with our executive officers, as well as our other employees, when our objectives are met. The following is a summary of the aspects of our executive compensation program discussed further in this section.

•Pay for Performance. Our compensation program is designed to reward our executive officers and employees when the Company performs at or above target or to deliver below target compensation when the Company and/or individuals underperform.

•Mix of compensation components and incentives. We structure compensation packages to be a balanced mix of cash and equity compensation and we focus more on variable performance-based incentives (such as our annual bonus opportunity and equity awards) and less on fixed compensation (such as base salary). For 2025, on average, approximately 86% of our named executive officers’ target total direct compensation consisted of “variable” pay. In 2025, base salaries were maintained at their same level since 2022, except for an increase for Mr. Woolson for his change in responsibilities relating to his role as President that occurred at the end of 2024. Our base salaries remain below the median of our compensation peer group and, accordingly, performance-based incentive compensation remains critical for the retention of our executive officers.

•Performance-based equity. A significant portion of our long-term incentive compensation opportunities granted to our executive officers in the form of equity awards is earned based 100% on the achievement of financial and individual performance objectives rather than solely through time-based vesting.

2025 Executive Compensation Highlights

Compensation Philosophy

“Pay for performance” is the underlying tenet of our compensation philosophy. Consistent with this focus, our 2025 executive compensation program includes annual performance-based cash bonuses and long-term incentive compensation, primarily in the form of performance-based ("PRSU") and time-based restricted stock unit awards, that are earned and vest based on continued service and for PRSUs satisfactory achievement of applicable preestablished performance goals. We emphasize long-term incentive compensation opportunities relative to short-term incentive opportunities in order to motivate our executive officers to focus on long-term value creation and accordingly have under-weighted both base salary and annual target bonus compensation relative to equity-based compensation as components of our annual target total direct compensation. Additionally, our executive compensation program is designed so that a significant portion of compensation is “at risk” based on Company performance, including short-term cash and long-term equity incentives, which also align the interests of our executive officers and stockholders.

For 2025, on average, approximately 86% of our named executive officers’ annual target total direct compensation opportunity consisted of “variable” pay (assuming the payout at “target” performance of annual cash bonuses and performance-based RSU awards) and included the following elements:

•Performance-based cash. Our named executive officers participate in an annual cash bonus program which provides for payouts ranging from 0% to 150% of their target annual bonus opportunity based upon satisfactory achievement of preestablished financial performance goals, and the Compensation Committee reserves discretion to adjust bonuses up or down based on each named executive officer's individual performance as evaluated against preestablished individual performance goals in determining actual bonus payouts.

•Multi-year Performance-based RSU awards. The PRSU awards granted to our named executive officers are earned and cliff-vest only upon achievement of performance goals over a three-year performance period which is 50% based on the satisfactory achievement of a minimum three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA target and 50% based on the satisfactory achievement of a minimum three-year cumulative revenue target. These PRSU awards recognize contributions to our long-term success, align our executive officers' compensation with Company performance and allow us to retain key employees through long-term vesting and potential wealth creation.

•Time-based RSU awards. The time-based RSUs awards granted to our named executive officers balance our pay-for-performance philosophy with our retention objectives. The realized value of these awards will vary based on our stock price performance. Retention is achieved via a three-year vesting period. These vesting periods reinforce the named executive officers' focus on long-term stockholder value creation.

The following charts show the mix of “fixed” and “variable” pay for our CEO and other named executive officers (on average) in 2025. Fixed pay included base salary. Time-based RSU awards are included in variable pay below since the value of these awards varies with our stock price performance.

Strong Governance and Other Compensation Policies and Practices

We endeavor to maintain strong governance standards consistent with our executive compensation policies and practices. Our compensation philosophy and related corporate governance policies and practices are complemented by the following specific compensation policies and practices that are designed to align our executive compensation program with long-term stockholder interests:

•Meaningful Stock Ownership Guidelines. We maintain guidelines for the minimum ownership of shares of our Common Stock by our executive officers and the non-employee members of our Board, including a 5x base salary requirement for our CEO and 1x base salary requirement for our other executive officers.

•Limited Perquisites. We provide only limited perquisites or other personal benefits to our executive officers, such as a 401(k) plan matching contribution and Company-paid annual physicals.

•No Tax Reimbursements. We do not provide any tax reimbursement or "gross-up" payments on any perquisites or other personal benefits or on any severance or change-in-control payments or benefits.

•Hedging and Pledging Prohibited. We prohibit our executive officers and the non-employee members of our Board from hedging or pledging our equity securities.

•No Defined Benefit Pension. We do not currently offer, nor do we have plans to provide, defined benefit pension arrangements. At this time, we maintain a defined contribution 401(k) plan, which is available to our executive officers on the same basis as our other full-time, salaried U.S. employees.

•Clawback Policy. We maintain a clawback policy that applies to our executive officers and allows us to recover cash and equity incentive compensation in the event of a financial restatement.

2025 Say-on-Pay Vote

We provide our stockholders with the opportunity to vote annually on an advisory basis to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (a “say-on-pay proposal”). Each year, the Compensation Committee considers the say-on-pay vote results from the prior Annual Meeting of Stockholders in connection with its review and evaluation of our executive compensation program. At our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 96% of the votes cast were voted in favor of our say-on-pay proposal, which we believe affirms our stockholders’ support of our executive compensation program.

Following the Annual Meeting to which this Proxy Statement relate, our next say-on-pay vote will occur at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

During 2025, our management team met with the majority of our top 20 stockholders who collectively own over 80% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, along with a number of other stockholders and potential stockholders. Engagement with our stockholders is important and during such engagement we have discussed numerous relevant topics at the forefront of companies today. These discussions covered topics such as financial performance and the long-term strategy of the Company. We listened carefully to the views of the stockholders and continue to believe that our executive compensation program is aligned with the expectations of the stockholders and investors.

How We Determine Executive Compensation

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our executive compensation program is designed to align our named executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders by establishing a direct and meaningful link between our business financial results and their compensation. In determining the target total direct compensation of our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee has been supported by its compensation consultant, as described in greater detail below in “Engagement of Compensation Consultant,” to make decisions after considering the following factors:

•the overall business and financial performance of the Company;

•the individual’s performance, experience and skills;

•the terms of employment agreements or other arrangements with the individual;

•an analysis of competitive market data for similar positions based on the Company’s compensation peer group with a focus on performance-based incentive compensation instead of fixed base salaries; and

•results from the prior year’s Say-on-Pay vote.

The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

•provide competitive total pay opportunities that help attract, incentivize and retain leadership and key talent while focusing on performance-based incentive cash and equity-based compensation;

•establish a direct and meaningful link between business financial results, individual/team performance and rewards;

•provide strong incentives to promote the profitability and growth of the Company, create long-term stockholder value and incentivize superior performance; and

•encourage the continued attention and dedication of our executive officers and provide reasonable individual security to enable our executives to focus on our best interests.

Engagement of Compensation Consultant, Peer Group and Market Data

The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review and approval of our compensation strategy, including the review and approval of our compensation peer group. Since 2007, our Compensation Committee has engaged Compensia, a national compensation consulting firm, to assist in reviewing and making appropriate changes to our executive compensation guiding principles, to review and update our compensation peer group when appropriate, to evaluate the competitiveness of our executive officers' compensation, and to assist it in the course of its deliberations concerning executive compensation decisions. Compensia serves at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Compensia and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Compensia from independently representing the Compensation Committee.

The compensation peer group below was used by the Compensation Committee during 2025 as a reference for understanding the competitive market for executive positions in our industry sector. The market data used for the Compensation Committee’s comparative analysis was drawn from publicly-available sources for the companies in the compensation peer group. The peer group consists of companies in the publicly-held health care equipment and supply sectors that generally met the following characteristics: positive revenue growth, annual revenues of approximately 0.5-3.0 times our revenues and aggregate market values of approximately 0.5-4.0 times our aggregate market value. We believe these characteristics are relevant because their similarity captures the similarity in the labor market for executives.
