Politan Nominates Two Independent Candidates for Masimo Board - Seite 2

To address these severe oversight issues, Politan has worked with an independent, nationally recognized search firm to identify two directors with crucial expertise that is sorely needed on the Board:

Dr. Darlene Solomon is a scientist by training who recently completed a 39-year career at Agilent Technologies, Inc., where she served in numerous leadership roles, including as Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President under three successive CEOs, and helped define the company’s technology strategy and R&D priorities. Having helped oversee three different separations of Agilent, Avago and Keysight as part of Agilent’s corporate transformation toward becoming a market-leading life sciences and diagnostics company, she brings critical expertise that would inform the appropriate division of Masimo’s IP in a separation of its Consumer Business, as well as the understanding of how best to lead and retain technical talent while executing forward-looking business growth for the Company.

William “Bill” Jellison is a veteran medical technology executive and finance expert with decades of relevant experience, including as the former Chief Financial Officer of Stryker Corporation. Bill would bring extensive medical technology and financial oversight expertise. He would also be a natural fit to chair the Board’s Audit Committee, which has not been chaired by a director with any audit committee or even public company board experience in nearly five years. Bill also presided over billions of dollars of M&A transactions during his tenure as Chief Financial Officer and would bring significant experience to the evaluation of a separation transaction at Masimo.

It is important to recognize that these directors can be added without a proxy contest. Darlene and Bill are indisputably qualified to help the Company and adding them immediately would have the benefit of avoiding a costly and distracting contested election.

Politan looks forward to engaging further with our fellow shareholders soon.”
