Orthofix Names Andres Cedron as New Chief Legal Officer - Seite 2

Before Stryker, Cedron started his career as a corporate attorney at law firms in New York and Miami. Cedron holds a J.D. from Columbia Law School and a B.A. from Colorado College.

As an inducement to enter into employment with Orthofix, Cedron was granted (i) performance-based vesting restricted stock units that settle 57,296 shares of common stock at target achievement, (ii) time-based vesting restricted stock units that settle into 28,648 shares of common stock, and (iii) stock options to purchase 64,817 shares of common stock. The performance-based vesting restricted stock units vest at the end of a three-year performance period based on the Company’s total stockholder return relative to an industry peer group index during such period, while the time-based vesting restricted stock units vest in equal tranches over three years. The stock options vest upon achievement of both service- and performance-based criteria, whichever is the later of (a) the date certain service-based conditions are met (which will be met over three years) and (b) the date that the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over a one-month calendar period has been equal to or great than 150% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The grants, which were approved by Orthofix’s Board of Directors, were made under standalone inducement award agreements approved pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4).
