2.08 Treatment of SeaSpine Shares, SeaSpine Equity Awards and Merger Sub Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Orthofix, Merger Sub, SeaSpine or any holder of shares thereof:

(i) each SeaSpine Share held as of the Effective Time by Orthofix, Merger Sub, any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of SeaSpine or Orthofix or by SeaSpine as treasury shares (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”), shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(ii) subject to Section 2.08(b), Section 2.08(c) and Section 2.13, each SeaSpine Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including shares outstanding pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(i) below and SeaSpine Shares issuable in connection with a SeaSpine Exchangeable Share Redemption (other than the Excluded Shares) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive 0.4163 fully paid and nonassessable Orthofix Shares (such ratio, as such number may be adjusted in accordance with this ARTICLE 2, the “Exchange Ratio”).

The aggregate number of Orthofix Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(ii), including shares outstanding pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(i), and Section 2.08(b)(ii) is referred to as the “Merger Consideration.”

(b) The Merger shall be deemed to constitute a “Change in Control” for purposes of each of the SeaSpine Equity Plan and the SeaSpine Inducement Plans and all awards granted respectively thereunder, and it is the intent of the parties that all “Options” as defined in the SeaSpine Equity Plan and the SeaSpine Inducement Plans, respectively, will be treated in accordance with Section 12.2(d)(i) of the SeaSpine Equity Plan and Section 11.2(d)(i) of the SeaSpine Inducement Plans, respectively. Accordingly, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to Section 2.13:

(i) each SeaSpine Restricted Share award that is then outstanding shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an award of restricted Orthofix Shares with the same terms and conditions that applied to such SeaSpine Restricted Share award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including applicable vesting conditions (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any rights accruing under the SeaSpine Equity Plan or SeaSpine Inducement Plan, as applicable, as a result of the occurrence of a Change in Control), relating to a number of Orthofix Shares equal to the product, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Orthofix Shares, of (A) the number of shares of SeaSpine Shares subject to such SeaSpine Restricted Share award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio;

(ii) each SeaSpine RSU award that is then outstanding shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an award of restricted stock units of Orthofix with the same terms and conditions that applied to such SeaSpine RSU award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including applicable

vesting conditions (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any rights accruing under the SeaSpine Equity Plan or SeaSpine Inducement Plan, as applicable, as a result of the occurrence of a Change in Control), relating to a number of Orthofix Shares equal to the product, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Orthofix Shares, of (A) the number of shares of SeaSpine Shares subject to such SeaSpine RSU award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio;

(iii) each SeaSpine Option that is then outstanding (each, a “Rollover Option”) shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an option to acquire Orthofix Shares at an adjusted exercise price per share (as detailed below), subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such SeaSpine Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any rights accruing under the SeaSpine Equity Plan or SeaSpine Inducement Plan, as applicable, as a result of the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined therein)), including applicable vesting conditions; accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time: (A) each such Rollover Option shall be exercisable solely for Orthofix Shares; (B) the number of Orthofix Shares subject to each Rollover Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of SeaSpine Shares subject to the SeaSpine Option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding down to the nearest whole number of Orthofix Shares; and (C) the per share exercise price for the Orthofix Shares issuable upon exercise of such Rollover Option shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price for the shares of SeaSpine Shares subject to the SeaSpine Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and

(iv) the parties shall take all actions that SeaSpine determines are necessary or desirable to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.08(b), including obtaining board or committee consents or adopting or assuming a SeaSpine Equity Plan and/or SeaSpine Inducement Plan, as applicable, by Orthofix. Orthofix shall provide SeaSpine, and SeaSpine shall provide Orthofix, with drafts of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment upon, all resolutions, option agreements and other written actions as may be required to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.08(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the first sentence of this Section 2.08(b) shall not be interpreted to affect whether or not the Merger will be deemed a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar phrase for any purpose other than as specifically stated in such sentence.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional Orthofix Shares shall be issued in connection with the Merger, no dividends or distributions of Orthofix shall relate to such fractional share interests, no certificates for any such fractional shares shall be issued, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights as an Orthofix Stockholder. Any SeaSpine Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of an Orthofix Share pursuant to the Merger (after taking into account all SeaSpine Shares held immediately prior to the Effective Time by such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender of such SeaSpine Share Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding, determined by multiplying such fraction by the Average Orthofix Stock Price. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional Orthofix Share that would otherwise have been issuable as part of the Merger Consideration. The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional Orthofix Shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Orthofix that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional Orthofix Shares.

(d) All calculations performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be calculated to four decimal places (0.0001).

(e) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Orthofix, Merger Sub, SeaSpine or any holder of shares thereof, all shares of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, which share shall be held by Orthofix.

(f) In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to SeaSpine Stockholders in connection with the Merger.

2.09 Closing of SeaSpine Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a)(i) each certificate formerly representing any SeaSpine Share (other than an Excluded Share) (“SeaSpine Share Certificate”) and (ii) each uncertificated SeaSpine Share (“Book-Entry Share”) formerly representing any SeaSpine Share (other than an Excluded Share) shall cease to be outstanding and (other than any Excluded Shares) shall represent only the right to receive Orthofix Shares (and cash in lieu of any fractional Orthofix Shares) as contemplated by Section 2.08 and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.13 and all holders of SeaSpine Share Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of SeaSpine; and (b) the stock transfer books of SeaSpine shall be closed with respect to all SeaSpine Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such SeaSpine Shares shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any SeaSpine Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, to the Surviving Corporation or to Orthofix, such SeaSpine Share Certificate shall be cancelled and shall be exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE 2.

2.10 Exchange Fund; Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Orthofix and SeaSpine shall mutually select a bank or trust company, which may be the transfer agent for the Orthofix Shares, to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”), and, not later than the Effective Time, Orthofix shall enter into an agreement with such bank or trust company, which agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to SeaSpine (the “Exchange Agency Agreement”), for the payment of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.08.

(b) Orthofix shall issue and deliver, prior to or concurrent with the Effective Time to the Exchange Agent solely for the account and benefit of the former SeaSpine Stockholders, (i) the maximum number of Orthofix Shares that have become issuable pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(ii), including shares outstanding pursuant to Section 2.082.08(b)(i), and Section 2.082.08(b)(ii) for delivery to the Merger Consideration recipients entitled thereto (such Orthofix Shares being the “Exchange Fund”) and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.08(c) for delivery to the Merger Consideration recipients entitled thereto.

(c) At the Effective Time and without any action on the part of any holder, all Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed surrendered to the Exchange Agent and Orthofix shall cause the Exchange Agent to: (i) deliver to each holder of Book-Entry Shares that number of uncertificated whole Orthofix Shares that the holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this ARTICLE 2 and cancel such Book-Entry Shares; and (ii) mail to each holder of Book-Entry Shares a check in the amount of any cash payable in respect of such holder’s Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Section 2.08(c).

(d) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, Orthofix shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the record holders of SeaSpine Share Certificates: (i) a notice advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger; (ii) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Orthofix and SeaSpine may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of SeaSpine Share Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the SeaSpine Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of such SeaSpine Share Certificates to the Exchange Agent); and (iii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the SeaSpine Share Certificates in exchange for the Orthofix Shares, as provided in Section 2.08(a). Upon surrender of a SeaSpine Share Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Orthofix, (A) the holder of such SeaSpine Share Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange a certificate or evidence of shares in book entry form representing the number of whole Orthofix Shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08(a) (and cash in lieu of any fractional Orthofix Shares pursuant to Section 2.08(c)) and (B) the SeaSpine Share Certificate so surrendered shall immediately be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.10(d), each SeaSpine Share Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive Orthofix Shares (and cash in lieu of any fractional Orthofix Shares pursuant to Section 2.08(c)) as contemplated by this ARTICLE 2 and any distribution or dividend with respect to Orthofix Shares, the record date for which is after the Effective Time. In the event of a transfer of ownership of SeaSpine Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of SeaSpine, a certificate or evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the proper number of Orthofix Shares may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the SeaSpine Share Certificate so surrendered is registered if such SeaSpine Share Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such issuances shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of the Orthofix Shares to a person other than the registered holder of such SeaSpine Shares or establish to the satisfaction of Orthofix that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. If any SeaSpine Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Orthofix may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of any certificate or evidence of shares in book-entry form representing Orthofix Shares, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed SeaSpine Share Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Orthofix may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent, Orthofix, or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such SeaSpine Share Certificate.

(e) All Orthofix Shares to be issued and delivered to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time, and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Orthofix in respect of Orthofix Shares, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all Orthofix Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to the Orthofix Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of an unsurrendered SeaSpine Share Certificate with respect to the Orthofix Shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the Merger until such holder surrenders such SeaSpine Share Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.10. All such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by Orthofix to the Exchange Agent after deduction of any applicable Taxes and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such SeaSpine Share Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.10. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such SeaSpine Share Certificate there shall be paid to the recordholder thereof, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore

payable with respect to such Orthofix Shares and not paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Orthofix Shares with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of SeaSpine Share Certificates as of the date one (1) year after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Orthofix upon demand, and any holders of SeaSpine Share Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their SeaSpine Share Certificates to the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 2.10(f), as well as any holders of Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore cashed any check payable to them in accordance with Section 2.08(c), shall thereafter look only to Orthofix for satisfaction of their claims for Orthofix Shares, cash in lieu of fractional Orthofix Shares and any dividends or distributions with respect to Orthofix Shares, subject to applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Law.

(g) Neither Orthofix, nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any current or former SeaSpine Stockholder or to any other Person with respect to any Orthofix Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or for any cash amounts, properly delivered to any public official in compliance with any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Law. If any SeaSpine Share Certificate shall not have been surrendered prior to five (5) years after the Closing Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Orthofix Shares or any dividends or other distributions payable to the holder of such SeaSpine Share Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body), any Orthofix Shares issuable upon the surrender of, or any dividends or other distributions in respect of, such SeaSpine Share Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Orthofix, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

2.11 Withholding. Each of SeaSpine, Orthofix, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation (as applicable) shall be entitled to deduct or withhold such amounts as it determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary to cover all required withholdings from the amounts payable (including Orthofix Shares deliverable) under this Agreement in accordance with the Code and any other applicable Law, and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to so deduct or withhold to the extent it is entitled as set forth in the general instructions in the letter of transmittal. Any such withheld or deducted amount shall be timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body and treated as though such amount had been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was required.

2.12 Interest; No Liability. All payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE 2 shall be without interest. Neither Orthofix, Merger Sub nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash or securities delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Law.

2.13 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that SeaSpine changes the number of SeaSpine Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time (other than pursuant to the issuance of SeaSpine Shares to holders of SeaSpine Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the exchange, redemption or retraction of SeaSpine Exchangeable Shares pursuant to AcquireCo’s Articles and the SeaSpine Support Agreement) or Orthofix changes the number of Orthofix Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time, in either case, as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the consideration paid in accordance with this Agreement, including the Exchange Ratio, shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

2.14 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Orthofix or SeaSpine to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to rights and property of Merger Sub and SeaSpine, the officers and directors of Orthofix shall be further authorized to take such action. Orthofix and the Surviving Corporation also shall take such further actions as may be necessary or desirable to ensure that the Exchange Agent sends out the letters of transmittal to SeaSpine Stockholders and issues certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form representing Orthofix Shares to such shareholders in accordance with Section 2.10.

2.15 Corporate Governance Matters. The Orthofix Board shall take all necessary corporate action, to the extent within its power and authority, to cause the following to occur as of the Effective Time: (a) the directors constituting the Orthofix Board shall be as set forth in Schedule 2.15, subject to such individuals’ willingness to serve; (b) the composition of the committees of the Orthofix Board shall be as set forth in Schedule 2.15, subject to such individuals’ willingness to serve; and (c) the executive officers of Orthofix shall be as set forth in Schedule 2.15, subject to such individuals’ willingness to serve. In the event any designee identified on Schedule 2.15 becomes unwilling to serve as of the Effective Time, a replacement for such designee shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 2.15 hereto.

No event has occurred which, if not remedied, would result in a default by SeaSpine in any material respect under the SeaSpine Real Property leases, and, to SeaSpine’s knowledge, no event has occurred which, if not remedied, would result in a default by any party other than SeaSpine in any material respect under the SeaSpine Real Property leases.

Since the SeaSpine Balance Sheet Date, neither SeaSpine nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material Liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business.

(b) No claim has been made in writing by any Governmental Body in a jurisdiction where SeaSpine or any of its Subsidiaries do not file Tax Returns that such Person is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no material Liens for Taxes (other than Taxes not yet due and payable) upon any of the assets of SeaSpine or any of its Subsidiaries. SeaSpine and its Subsidiaries have withheld and paid all material Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with any amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, shareholder or other third party. Neither SeaSpine nor any of its Subsidiaries has been a party to any “reportable transaction” as defined in Section 6707A(c)(1) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b).

(a) SeaSpine and its Subsidiaries (i) maintain commercially reasonable policies and procedures regarding the security, privacy, transfer and use of Personal Data that are designed to protect Personal Data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, and (ii) except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SeaSpine Material Adverse Effect, since January 1, 2018, have been in compliance with all of SeaSpine’s and its Subsidiaries’ published and written policies, as applicable, governing the security, privacy, transfer and use of Personal Data and applicable Laws governing data privacy and data security.

(b) To SeaSpine’s knowledge, since January 1, 2018, (i) none of SeaSpine or any of its Subsidiaries has experienced any confirmed unauthorized access, acquisition, theft, destruction or compromise of any Personal Data, which, individually or in the aggregate, has had a SeaSpine Material Adverse Effect and (ii) there has not been any unauthorized intrusions or breaches of security into any SeaSpine information technology system used in the operation of the businesses of SeaSpine and its Subsidiaries, which, individually or in the aggregate, has had a SeaSpine Material Adverse Effect. To SeaSpine’s knowledge, since January 1, 2018, no third-party processing Personal Data on behalf SeaSpine has experienced a security breach affecting Personal Data of SeaSpine or its Subsidiaries, which, individually or in the aggregate, has had a SeaSpine Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.16 of the SeaSpine Disclosure Letter lists each material insurance policy maintained by SeaSpine or any of its Subsidiaries or, to SeaSpine’s knowledge, under which SeaSpine is a named insured or otherwise the principal beneficiary of coverage, including the policy number and the period, type and amount of coverage. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and shall continue in effect until the Closing Date. Such insurance policies are sufficient, in all material respects in the aggregate, with the operation of SeaSpine’s or its Subsidiaries’ business for the industry in which it operates. SeaSpine is not in default with respect to its obligations under any such insurance policies and, to SeaSpine’s knowledge, there is no threatened termination of, or threatened premium increase with respect to, any of such policies, other than in connection with SeaSpine’s annual renewal process.

3.17 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Section 3.17 of the SeaSpine Disclosure Letter lists all current SeaSpine Plans (other than (i) immaterial Non-U.S. Plans that are otherwise SeaSpine Plans or (ii) any at-will employment agreement or any services agreement terminable upon 30 days’ notice or less, in either case that does not provide for severance, notice of termination (or pay in lieu), change of control, retention or bonus pay or similar benefits (other than continuation coverage or other entitlements required by Law)). Each SeaSpine Plan that is intended to meet the requirements to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter or is covered by a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service that remains current to the effect that the form of such SeaSpine Plan is so qualified, and SeaSpine is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the qualification of such SeaSpine Plan. The SeaSpine Plans comply in form and in operation in all material respects with the requirements of the Code, ERISA and other applicable Law; and SeaSpine has not become subject to any material Liability by reason of (i) a failure to provide any notice, (ii) a failure to make any contribution to a SeaSpine Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code within the time prescribed for the contribution under ERISA, or (iii) a breach of fiduciary duty or prohibited transaction under ERISA or any other applicable Law, in each case with respect to a SeaSpine Plan.

(b) With respect to each current material SeaSpine Plan, SeaSpine has made available true and complete copies of the following (as applicable) prior to the date hereof: (i) the plan document, including all amendments thereto or, with respect to any unwritten plan, a summary of all material terms thereof; (ii) the summary plan description along with all summaries of material modifications thereto; (iii) all related trust instruments or other funding-related documents; (iv) a copy of the most recent financial statements for the plan; (v) a copy of all material correspondence with any Governmental Body relating to a SeaSpine Plan received or sent within the last two years and (vi) the most recent determination or opinion letter.

(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a SeaSpine Material Adverse Effect, with respect to the SeaSpine Plans, (i) all required contributions to, and premiums payable in respect of, such SeaSpine Plan have been made or, to the extent not required to be made on or before the date hereof, have been properly accrued on SeaSpine’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) there are no Actions, audits, suits or claims pending or, to SeaSpine’s knowledge, threatened, other than routine claims for benefits.

(d) Neither SeaSpine nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has at any time in the past six (6) years sponsored or contributed to, or has or has had any Liability or obligation in respect of any SeaSpine Plan (including any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) or Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA)) that is or was at any relevant time subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. None of the SeaSpine Plans obligates SeaSpine or its Subsidiaries to provide a current or former employee or other service provider (or any spouse or dependent thereof) any life insurance or medical or health benefits after his or her termination of employment with SeaSpine or any of its Subsidiaries, other than as required under Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, Section 4980B of the Code or any other Law and coverage through the end of the month of termination of employment.

(e) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will, either individually or together with the occurrence of some other event (including a termination of employment or service), (i) result in any payment (including severance, bonus or other similar payment) becoming due to any Person, (ii) increase or otherwise enhance any benefits or compensation otherwise payable under any SeaSpine Plan, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any benefits under any SeaSpine Plan, (iv) require SeaSpine or its Subsidiaries to set aside any assets to fund any benefits under a SeaSpine Plan or result in the forgiveness in whole or in part of any outstanding loans made by SeaSpine to any Person, (v) limit the ability to amend or terminate any SeaSpine Plan or related trust or (vi) result in the payment of any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or in the imposition of an excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code (or, in either case, any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Tax law). SeaSpine has no obligation to pay any gross-up in respect of any Tax under Section 4999 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code (or, in either case, any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Tax law).

(f) With respect to each SeaSpine Plan that is a Non-U.S. Plan, and except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a SeaSpine Material Adverse Effect, the fair market value of the assets of each funded Non-U.S. Plan, the liability of each insurer for any non-U.S. Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Non-U.S. Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the benefits determined on an ongoing basis (actual or contingent) with respect to all current or former participants under such Non-U.S. Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuation most recently used to determine employer contributions to such Non-U.S. Plan, and none of the contemplated transactions will cause such assets, insurance obligations or book reserves to be less than such benefit obligations. Each such Non-U.S. Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in all material respects in good standing with each applicable Governmental Body. No SeaSpine Plan that is a Non-U.S. Plan is a defined benefit pension plan.

3.18 Compliance with Law; Permits; Anti-Corruption Laws.

(a) SeaSpine and each of its Subsidiaries hold all Permits required to operate their respective businesses as they are being conducted as of the date hereof, and all of such Permits are in full force and effect, except where the failure to obtain or have any such Permit would, individually or in the aggregate, not reasonably be expected to have a SeaSpine Material Adverse Effect, and no proceeding is

pending or, to the knowledge of SeaSpine, threatened to revoke, suspend, cancel, terminate or adversely modify any such Permit. Neither SeaSpine nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material violation of, or in default under, any Law, in each case applicable to SeaSpine or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets and properties.

No employees of SeaSpine are represented by a labor union, works council or other employee representative body (other than any statutorily mandated representation in non-U.S. jurisdictions).

4.13 Intellectual Property.

(a) All of the patents, domain names, registered trademarks and service marks, registered copyrights and applications for any of the foregoing, that are currently owned by Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Orthofix Registered Intellectual Property”) are set forth in Section 4.13 of the Orthofix Disclosure Letter. One or more of Orthofix and its Subsidiaries owns and possesses all right, title and interest in and to each item of the Intellectual Property owned by Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. To the knowledge of Orthofix, the Intellectual Property owned by Orthofix or its Subsidiaries, together with any Intellectual Property licensed to Orthofix or its Subsidiaries constitutes all Intellectual Property used in and material to or otherwise necessary for Orthofix’s or its Subsidiaries’ manufacture or sale of its Products or operation of the business of Orthofix and its Subsidiaries. To the knowledge of Orthofix, no Person is currently infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating, or has previously within the past four (4) years infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated, any material Intellectual Property owned by Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries.

Orthofix and its Subsidiaries have not, within the past four (4) years, received any charge, complaint, claim, demand, notice or other communication alleging any infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation (including any claim that Orthofix or a Subsidiary must license or refrain from using any Intellectual Property of another Person in order to avoid infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation) of the Intellectual Property of another Person, and there is no pending Action (or to the knowledge of SeaSpine, threatened Action), claim, or suit alleging any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation.

(c) Orthofix and its Subsidiaries have taken commercially reasonable efforts to protect and preserve their rights in all Intellectual Property owned by Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries. To the knowledge of Orthofix, all employees, contractors and consultants who have created Intellectual Property used in the conduct of the business of Orthofix or a Subsidiary as currently conducted have either (i) assigned to one or more of Orthofix or its Subsidiaries all of their rights therein, to the full extent

permitted by Law and to the extent such rights would not automatically vest with Orthofix or one of its Subsidiaries by operation of Law or (ii) with respect to consultants and contractors, have granted Orthofix or its Subsidiaries sufficient rights in such Intellectual Property to conduct the business of Orthofix and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted.

4.14 Data Privacy.

(a) Orthofix and its Subsidiaries (i) maintain commercially reasonable policies and procedures regarding the security, privacy, transfer and use of Personal Data that are designed to protect Personal Data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, and (ii) except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an Orthofix Material Adverse Effect, since January 1, 2018, have been in compliance with all of Orthofix’s and its Subsidiaries’ published and written policies, as applicable, governing the security, privacy, transfer and use of Personal Data and applicable Laws governing data privacy and data security.

(b) To Orthofix’s knowledge, since January 1, 2018, (i) none of Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries has experienced any confirmed unauthorized access, acquisition, theft, destruction or compromise of any Personal Data, which, individually or in the aggregate, has had an Orthofix Material Adverse Effect and (ii) there has not been any unauthorized intrusions or breaches of security into any Orthofix information technology system used in the operation of the businesses of Orthofix and its Subsidiaries, which, individually or in the aggregate, has had an Orthofix Material Adverse Effect. To Orthofix’s knowledge, since January 1, 2018, no third-party processing Personal Data on behalf Orthofix has experienced a security breach affecting Personal Data of Orthofix or its Subsidiaries, which, individually or in the aggregate, has had an Orthofix Material Adverse Effect. Neither Orthofix, its Subsidiaries, nor any third party acting at Orthofix’s direction or authorization has paid any perpetrator of any actual or threatened security incident or cyber-attack, including a ransomware attack or a denial-of-service attack.

(c) To Orthofix’s knowledge, since January 1, 2018, none of Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries has been under investigation by any state, federal, or foreign jurisdiction regarding its protection, storage, use, disclosure, and transfer of Personal Data.

(d) To Orthofix’s knowledge, since January 1, 2018, none of Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries has received any material written claim, complaint, inquiry or notice from any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority or entity, or any data subject, related to the Orthofix’s or its Subsidiaries’ collection, processing, use, storage, security, and/or disclosure of Personal Data, alleging that any of these activities are in violation of any applicable Laws governing data privacy and data security.

4.15 Litigation. There are no Actions pending, or to Orthofix’s knowledge, threatened, against Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries, at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Body, and Orthofix and its Subsidiaries are not subject to or in violation of any outstanding judgment, Order or decree of any court or Governmental Body, in each case, that would, individually or in the aggregate, have an Orthofix Material Adverse Effect. This Section 4.15 shall not apply to Taxes, with respect to which exclusively the representations and warranties in Section 4.11 shall apply.

4.16 Insurance. Section 4.16 of the Orthofix Disclosure Letter lists each material insurance policy maintained by Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries or, to Orthofix’s knowledge, under which Orthofix is a named insured or otherwise the principal beneficiary of coverage, including the policy number and the period, type and amount of coverage. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and shall continue in effect until the Closing Date. Such insurance policies are sufficient, in all

material respects in the aggregate, with the operation of Orthofix’s or its Subsidiaries’ business for the industry in which it operates. Orthofix is not in default with respect to its obligations under any such insurance policies and, to Orthofix’s knowledge, there is no threatened termination of, or threatened premium increase with respect to, any of such policies, other than in connection with Orthofix’s annual renewal process.

4.17 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Section 4.17 of the Orthofix Disclosure Letter lists all current Orthofix Plans (other than (i) immaterial Non-U.S. Plans that are otherwise Orthofix Plans or (ii) any at-will employment agreement or any services agreement terminable upon 30 days’ notice or less, in either case that does not provide for severance, notice of termination (or pay in lieu), change of control, retention or bonus pay or similar benefits (other than continuation coverage or other entitlements required by Law)). Each Orthofix Plan that is intended to meet the requirements to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter or is covered by a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service that remains current to the effect that the form of such Orthofix Plan is so qualified, and Orthofix is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the qualification of such Orthofix Plan. The Orthofix Plans comply in form and in operation in all material respects with the requirements of the Code, ERISA and other applicable Law; and Orthofix has not become subject to any material Liability by reason of (i) a failure to provide any notice, (ii) a failure to make any contribution to an Orthofix Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code within the time prescribed for the contribution under ERISA, or (iii) a breach of fiduciary duty or prohibited transaction under ERISA or any other applicable Law, in each case with respect to an Orthofix Plan.

(b) With respect to each current material Orthofix Plan, Orthofix has made available true and complete copies of the following (as applicable) prior to the date hereof: (i) the plan document, including all amendments thereto or, with respect to any unwritten plan, a summary of all material terms thereof; (ii) the summary plan description along with all summaries of material modifications thereto; (iii) all related trust instruments or other funding-related documents; (iv) a copy of the most recent financial statements for the plan; (v) a copy of all material correspondence with any Governmental Body relating to an Orthofix Plan received or sent within the last two years and (vi) the most recent determination or opinion letter.

(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, an Orthofix Material Adverse Effect, with respect to the Orthofix Plans, (i) all required contributions to, and premiums payable in respect of, such Orthofix Plan have been made or, to the extent not required to be made on or before the date hereof, have been properly accrued on Orthofix’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) there are no Actions, audits, suits or claims pending or, to Orthofix’s knowledge, threatened, other than routine claims for benefits.

(d) Neither Orthofix nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has at any time in the past six (6) years sponsored or contributed to, or has or has had any Liability or obligation in respect of any Orthofix Plan (including any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) or Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA)) that is or was at any relevant time subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. None of the Orthofix Plans obligates Orthofix or its Subsidiaries to provide a current or former employee or other service provider (or any spouse or dependent thereof) any life insurance or medical or health benefits after his or her termination of employment with Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries, other than as required under Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, Section 4980B of the Code or any other Law and coverage through the end of the month of termination of employment.

(e) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will, either individually or together with the occurrence of some other event (including a termination of employment or service), (i) result in any payment (including severance, bonus or other similar payment) becoming due to any Person, (ii) increase or otherwise enhance any benefits or compensation otherwise payable under any Orthofix Plan, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any benefits under any Orthofix Plan, (iv) require Orthofix or its Subsidiaries to set aside any assets to fund any benefits under an Orthofix Plan or result in the forgiveness in whole or in part of any outstanding loans made by Orthofix to any Person, (v) limit the ability to amend or terminate any Orthofix Plan or related trust or (vi) result in the payment of any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or in the imposition of an excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code (or, in either case, any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Tax law). Orthofix has no obligation to pay any gross-up in respect of any Tax under Section 4999 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code (or, in either case, any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Tax law).

(f) With respect to each Orthofix Plan that is a Non-U.S. Plan, and except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, an Orthofix Material Adverse Effect, the fair market value of the assets of each funded Non-U.S. Plan, the liability of each insurer for any non-U.S. Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Non-U.S. Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the benefits determined on an ongoing basis (actual or contingent) with respect to all current or former participants under such Non-U.S. Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuation most recently used to determine employer contributions to such Non-U.S. Plan, and none of the contemplated transactions will cause such assets, insurance obligations or book reserves to be less than such benefit obligations. Each such Non-U.S. Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in all material respects in good standing with each applicable Governmental Body. No Orthofix Plan that is a Non-U.S. Plan is a defined benefit pension plan.

4.18 Compliance with Law; Permits; Anti-Corruption Laws.

(a) Orthofix and each of its Subsidiaries hold all Permits required to operate their respective businesses as they are being conducted as of the date hereof, and all of such Permits are in full force and effect, except where the failure to obtain or have any such Permit would, individually or in the aggregate, not reasonably be expected to have an Orthofix Material Adverse Effect, and no proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of Orthofix, threatened to revoke, suspend, cancel, terminate or adversely modify any such Permit. Neither Orthofix nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material violation of, or in default under, any Law, in each case applicable to Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets and properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.18 shall not apply to Taxes, employee benefit plans, environmental matters, labor and employment matters or regulatory matters, which are the subjects exclusively of the representations and warranties in Section 4.11, Section 4.17, Section 4.19, Section 4.20 and Section 4.21, respectively.

(d) Since January 1, 2018, neither Orthofix nor its Subsidiaries, to their knowledge, have been or are currently under any internal or Governmental Body review, investigation, inspection, or examination relating to their compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws, or have received any written notice or other communication from any Governmental Body regarding a violation of, or failure to comply with, any Anti-Corruption Laws.

Orthofix has not disposed of or released or allowed or permitted the release of any Hazardous Substance at any real property, including the Orthofix Real Property, so as to give rise to Liability for investigation costs, cleanup costs, response costs, corrective action costs, personal injury, property damage, natural resources damages or attorney fees under CERCLA or any other Environmental Laws; and (e) to Orthofix’s knowledge, there are no and have never been any Hazardous Substances present on, at, in or under any real property currently or formerly owned, leased or used by Orthofix for which Orthofix has, or may have, Liability.

Orthofix is not a party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement or other agreement with a labor union, works council or other employee representative body (other than any statutorily mandated agreement in non-U.S. jurisdictions), and there are no such agreements which pertain to employees of Orthofix in existence or in negotiation. No employees of Orthofix are represented by a labor union, works council or other employee representative body (other than any statutorily mandated representation in non-U.S. jurisdictions). Orthofix has not experienced any strike or material grievance, claim of unfair labor practices, or other collective bargaining dispute within the past

Within the past four (4) years, Orthofix has not entered into any settlement agreement, tolling agreement, non-disparagement agreement, confidentiality agreement or non-disclosure agreement, or any Contract or provision similar to any of the foregoing relating directly or indirectly to any Misconduct Allegation against Orthofix or any person who is or was an officer, director, manager, employee or independent contractor of Orthofix. There has been no “mass layoff” or “plant closing” (as defined by WARN or any similar foreign, state, provincial or local Laws) with respect to Orthofix within the six (6) months prior to the Closing Date.

(c) All material filings, reports, documents, claims, submissions and notices submitted or required to be filed, maintained or furnished to the FDA, CMS, state or other Governmental Bodies have been so timely submitted, filed, maintained or furnished and were complete and correct in all material respects on the date filed (or were corrected in or supplemented by a subsequent filing), including all claims, statements, adverse event reports, medical device reports, reports of recalls, corrections and removals with regard to the Products and any transparency reports. All applications, notifications, submissions, information, claims, reports, filings and other data and conclusions derived therefrom utilized as the basis for, or submitted in connection with, any and all requests for an Orthofix License from the FDA or other Governmental Body relating to Orthofix or its businesses or the Products, when submitted to the FDA or any other Governmental Body, whether oral, written or electronically delivered, were true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of the date of submission.

Stockholders’ Meeting, advise Orthofix as to the aggregate number of SeaSpine Shares entitled to vote at the SeaSpine Stockholders’ Meeting for which proxies have been received by SeaSpine with respect to the SeaSpine Stockholder Approval and the number of such proxies authorizing the holder thereof to vote in favor of the SeaSpine Stockholder Approval.

6.04 Non-Solicitation.

(a) SeaSpine agrees that, except as expressly contemplated hereby, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and SeaSpine shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, instruct its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) initiate, seek or solicit, or knowingly encourage or facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information) or take any other action that is reasonably expected to promote, directly or indirectly, any inquiries or the making or submission of any

proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal with respect to SeaSpine; (ii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or disclose any non-public information or data relating to SeaSpine or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the properties, books or records of SeaSpine or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person or group of Persons (or any of their Affiliates or Representatives) that has made an Acquisition Proposal with respect to SeaSpine or (iii) enter into any agreement, including any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement, with respect to an Acquisition Proposal with respect to SeaSpine (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement permitted pursuant to this Section 6.04). SeaSpine shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and instruct its and their respective Representatives to, promptly upon the execution of this Agreement cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with or involving any Person or group of Persons, or any of their Affiliates (other than Orthofix and/or its Affiliates), conducted heretofore by SeaSpine or any Subsidiary thereof or any of its or their respective Representatives, with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and, in connection therewith, SeaSpine shall immediately discontinue access by any Person or group of Persons, and any of their Affiliates (other than Orthofix and its Affiliates), to any data room (virtual or otherwise) established by SeaSpine or its Representatives for such purpose. Within ten (10) Business Days from the date hereof, SeaSpine shall request the return or destruction of all confidential, non-public information provided to third parties that have entered into confidentiality agreements with SeaSpine or any Subsidiary thereof since January 1, 2022, relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to obtaining the SeaSpine Stockholder Approval, SeaSpine and the SeaSpine Board may take any actions described in clause (ii) of this Section 6.04(a) with respect to a third party if (A) SeaSpine receives a written Acquisition Proposal with respect to SeaSpine from such third party (and such Acquisition Proposal was not initiated, sought, solicited, knowingly encouraged or facilitated in violation of this Section 6.04) and (B) such proposal constitutes, or the SeaSpine Board determines in good faith that such proposal would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal with respect to SeaSpine, provided that, SeaSpine may deliver non-public information to such third party only pursuant to a confidentiality agreement containing terms no less favorable to SeaSpine with respect to confidentiality than the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement (including with respect to any standstill agreement or similar provisions) (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) and so long as it sends a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to Orthofix promptly following its execution. Nothing contained in this Section 6.04 shall prohibit SeaSpine or the SeaSpine Board from (1) taking and disclosing to the SeaSpine Stockholders a position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal with respect to SeaSpine pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any similar disclosure, if the SeaSpine Board has reasonably determined in good faith that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the SeaSpine Stockholders or (2) directing any Person (or the Representatives of that Person) who makes an Acquisition Proposal regarding SeaSpine to the provisions of this Section 6.04, provided that this sentence shall not permit the SeaSpine Board to make a SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change, except to the extent permitted by Section 6.04(b) or Section 6.04(c). Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 6.04(a) by any of SeaSpine’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.04(a) by SeaSpine.

(b) Neither the SeaSpine Board nor any committee thereof shall directly or indirectly (i) withhold, withdraw (or amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Orthofix or Merger Sub), or publicly propose to withdraw (or amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Orthofix or Merger Sub), the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the SeaSpine Board or any such committee of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve any Acquisition Proposal with respect to SeaSpine, (iii) fail to publicly reaffirm or re-publish the SeaSpine Recommendation within five (5) Business Days of being requested by Orthofix to do so (or

if earlier, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the SeaSpine Stockholders’ Meeting), or (iv) fail to send to the SeaSpine Stockholders, within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of a tender or exchange offer relating to the SeaSpine Shares (or if earlier, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the SeaSpine Stockholders’ Meeting), a statement disclosing that SeaSpine recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer and reaffirming the SeaSpine Recommendation (any action described in this sentence being referred to as a “SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change”). For the avoidance of doubt, a change of the SeaSpine Recommendation to “neutral” is a SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the SeaSpine Stockholder Approval, and subject to SeaSpine’s compliance at all times with the provisions of this Section 6.04 and Section 6.03, in response to a Superior Proposal with respect to SeaSpine that has not been withdrawn and did not result from a breach of Section 6.04(a), the SeaSpine Board may make a SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that unless the SeaSpine Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled to occur within the next ten (10) Business Days, SeaSpine shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal with respect to SeaSpine (x) until five (5) Business Days after SeaSpine provides written notice to Orthofix advising Orthofix that the SeaSpine Board has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, identifying the Person or group of Persons making such Superior Proposal and including copies of all documents pertaining to such Superior Proposal; (y) if during such five (5) Business Day period, Orthofix irrevocably proposes any alternative transaction (including any modifications to the terms of this Agreement), unless the SeaSpine Board determines in good faith, after good faith negotiations between SeaSpine and Orthofix (if such negotiations are requested by Orthofix) during such five (5) Business Day period (after and taking into account all financial, legal and regulatory terms and conditions of such alternative transaction proposal and expected timing of consummation and the relative risks of non-consummation of the alternative transaction proposal and the Superior Proposal) that such alternative transaction proposal is not at least as favorable to SeaSpine and its shareholders as the Superior Proposal and (z) unless the SeaSpine Board determines that the failure to make a SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change would be a breach of its fiduciary obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 6.04(b), at any time prior to obtaining the SeaSpine Stockholder Approval, in connection with any Intervening Event, the SeaSpine Board may make a SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change, after the SeaSpine Board (i) determines in good faith that the failure to make such SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change would be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the SeaSpine Stockholders, (ii) determines in good faith that the reasons for making such SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change are independent of and unrelated to any pending Acquisition Proposal with respect to SeaSpine and (iii) provides written notice to Orthofix (a “SeaSpine Notice of Change”) advising Orthofix that the SeaSpine Board is contemplating making a SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying the material facts and information constituting the basis for such contemplated determination; provided, however, that, unless the SeaSpine Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled to occur within the next five (5) Business Days, (x) the SeaSpine Board may not make such SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change until the fifth (5^th) Business Day after receipt by Orthofix of a SeaSpine Notice of Change and (y) during such five (5) Business Day period, at the request of Orthofix, SeaSpine shall negotiate in good faith with respect to any changes or modifications to this Agreement which would allow the SeaSpine Board not to make such SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change, consistent with its fiduciary duties.

(d) Orthofix agrees that, except as expressly contemplated hereby, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and Orthofix shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, instruct its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) initiate, seek or solicit, or knowingly encourage or facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information) or take any other action that is reasonably expected to promote, directly or indirectly, any inquiries or the making or submission of any

proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Orthofix; (ii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or disclose any non-public information or data relating to Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the properties, books or records of Orthofix or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person or group of Persons (or any of their Affiliates or Representatives) that has made an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Orthofix or (iii) enter into any agreement, including any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement, with respect to an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Orthofix (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement permitted pursuant to this Section 6.04). Orthofix shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and instruct its and their respective Representatives to, promptly upon the execution of this Agreement cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with or involving any Person or group of Persons, or any of their Affiliates (other than SeaSpine and/or its Affiliates), conducted heretofore by Orthofix or any Subsidiary thereof or any of its or their respective Representatives, with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and, in connection therewith, Orthofix shall immediately discontinue access by any Person or group of Persons, and any of their Affiliates (other than SeaSpine and its Affiliates), to any data room (virtual or otherwise) established by Orthofix or its Representatives for such purpose. Within ten (10) Business Days from the date hereof, Orthofix shall request the return or destruction of all confidential, non-public information provided to third parties that have entered into confidentiality agreements with Orthofix or any Subsidiary thereof since January 1, 2022, relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to obtaining the Orthofix Stockholder Approval, Orthofix and the Orthofix Board may take any actions described in clause (ii) of this Section 6.04(d) with respect to a third party if (A) Orthofix receives a written Acquisition Proposal with respect to Orthofix from such third party (and such Acquisition Proposal was not initiated, sought, solicited, knowingly encouraged or facilitated in violation of this Section 6.04) and (B) such proposal constitutes, or the Orthofix Board determines in good faith that such proposal would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal with respect to Orthofix, provided that, Orthofix may deliver non-public information to such third party only pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (but in relation to Orthofix rather than SeaSpine) and so long as it sends a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to SeaSpine promptly following its execution. Nothing contained in this Section 6.04 shall prohibit Orthofix or the Orthofix Board from (1) taking and disclosing to the Orthofix Stockholders a position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Orthofix pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any similar disclosure, if the Orthofix Board has reasonably determined in good faith that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Orthofix Stockholders or (2) directing any Person (or the Representatives of that Person) who makes an Acquisition Proposal regarding Orthofix to the provisions of this Section 6.04, provided that this sentence shall not permit the Orthofix Board to make an Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change, except to the extent permitted by Section 6.04(e) or Section 6.04(f). Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 6.04(d) by any of Orthofix’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.04(d) by Orthofix.

(e) Neither the Orthofix Board nor any committee thereof shall directly or indirectly (i) withhold, withdraw (or amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to SeaSpine) or publicly propose to withdraw (or amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to SeaSpine), the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Orthofix Board or any such committee of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including the issuance of Orthofix Shares in the Merger, (ii) propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve any Acquisition Proposal with respect to Orthofix, (iii) fail to publicly reaffirm or re-publish the Orthofix Recommendation within five (5) Business Days of being requested by SeaSpine to do so (or if earlier, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the SeaSpine Stockholders’ Meeting), or (iv) fail to send to the SeaSpine Stockholders, within ten (10) Business Days

after the commencement of a tender or exchange offer relating to the SeaSpine Shares (or if earlier, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the SeaSpine Stockholders’ Meeting), a statement disclosing that SeaSpine recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer and reaffirming the SeaSpine Recommendation (any action described in this sentence being referred to as a “Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change”). For the avoidance of doubt, a change of the Orthofix Recommendation to “neutral” is an Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Orthofix Stockholder Approval, and subject to Orthofix’s compliance at all times with the provisions of this Section 6.04 and Section 6.03, in response to a Superior Proposal with respect to Orthofix that has not been withdrawn and did not result from a breach of Section 6.04(d), the Orthofix Board may make an Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that unless the Orthofix Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled to occur within the next ten (10) Business Days, Orthofix shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal with respect to Orthofix (x) until five (5) Business Days after Orthofix provides written notice to SeaSpine advising SeaSpine that the Orthofix Board has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, identifying the Person or group of Persons making such Superior Proposal and including copies of all documents pertaining to such Superior Proposal; (y) if during such five (5) Business Day period, SeaSpine irrevocably proposes any alternative transaction (including any modifications to the terms of this Agreement), unless the Orthofix Board determines in good faith, after good faith negotiations between Orthofix and SeaSpine (if such negotiations are requested by SeaSpine) during such five (5) Business Day period (after and taking into account all financial, legal and regulatory terms and conditions of such alternative transaction proposal and expected timing of consummation and the relative risks of non-consummation of the alternative transaction proposal and the Superior Proposal) that such alternative transaction proposal is not at least as favorable to Orthofix and its shareholders as the Superior Proposal and (z) unless the Orthofix Board determines that the failure to make an Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change would be a breach of its fiduciary obligations.

(f) Notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 6.04(e), at any time prior to obtaining the Orthofix Stockholder Approval, in connection with any Intervening Event, the Orthofix Board may make an Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change, after the Orthofix Board (i) determines in good faith that the failure to make such Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change would be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Orthofix Stockholders, (ii) determines in good faith that the reasons for making such Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change are independent of and unrelated to any pending Acquisition Proposal with respect to SeaSpine and (iii) provides written notice to SeaSpine (a “Orthofix Notice of Change”) advising SeaSpine that the Orthofix Board is contemplating making an Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying the material facts and information constituting the basis for such contemplated determination; provided, however, that, unless the Orthofix Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled to occur within the next five (5) Business Days, (x) the Orthofix Board may not make such Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change until the fifth (5^th) Business Day after receipt by SeaSpine of an Orthofix Notice of Change and (y) during such five (5) Business Day period, at the request of SeaSpine, Orthofix shall negotiate in good faith with respect to any changes or modifications to this Agreement which would allow the Orthofix Board not to make such Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change, consistent with its fiduciary duties.

(g) The parties agree that in addition to the obligations of SeaSpine and Orthofix set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section 6.04, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day), SeaSpine or Orthofix, as applicable, shall advise Orthofix or SeaSpine, respectively, in writing of any request for information or any Acquisition Proposal with respect to such party received from any Person or group of Persons, or any inquiry, discussions or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal with respect to such party, and the terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, discussions or negotiations, and SeaSpine or

Orthofix, as applicable, shall promptly (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day) provide to Orthofix or SeaSpine, respectively, copies of any written materials received by SeaSpine or Orthofix, as applicable, in connection with any of the foregoing and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making any such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry or with whom any discussions or negotiations are taking place. Each of SeaSpine and Orthofix agrees that it shall simultaneously provide to the other any non-public information concerning itself or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person or group of Persons in connection with any Acquisition Proposal which was not previously provided to the other. SeaSpine and Orthofix shall keep Orthofix and SeaSpine, respectively, fully informed of the status of any Acquisition Proposals (including the identity of the parties and price involved and any changes to any material terms and conditions thereof). Each of SeaSpine and Orthofix agrees not to release, or permit any of its Affiliates to release, any Person from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party or fail to enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any such standstill or similar agreement to which it is a party; provided, however, that, if either the SeaSpine Board or Orthofix Board determines in good faith after consultation with SeaSpine’s or Orthofix’s outside legal counsel, as applicable, that the failure to waive (or amend or modify) a particular standstill provision, or other provision with similar effect, could reasonably be expected to be a breach of its directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, SeaSpine or Orthofix, as the case may be, may, with prior written notice to the other party, waive (or amend or modify) such standstill provision, or other provision with similar effect, solely to the extent necessary to permit the applicable Person (if it has not been solicited in violation of this Section 6.04) to make an Acquisition Proposal.

6.05 Regulatory Approvals; Additional Agreements.

(a) SeaSpine and Orthofix shall promptly prepare and file, as soon as reasonably practical and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice Notification and Report Forms required pursuant to the HSR Act for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, Orthofix, with SeaSpine’s reasonable cooperation and collaboration, shall use reasonable best efforts to file, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, all initial filings, notifications, submissions (or, initial draft notifications, or pre-filings, in each case if customary) required to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to any other applicable Antitrust Law promulgated by a Government Body in the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.05(a) (collectively, the “Additional Antitrust Approvals”). Orthofix shall pay all filing fees required by the HSR Act and any other applicable merger notification or control Laws in connection with such filings.

(b) Orthofix and SeaSpine each shall promptly (i) supply the other with any information reasonably required in order to effectuate the filings described in this Section 6.05, (ii) supply additional information reasonably required by a Governmental Body and, (iii) subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Body, keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of communications received from any Governmental Body. Neither Orthofix nor SeaSpine shall independently participate in any meeting, or engage in any substantive conversation, with any Governmental Body in connection with such filings without using commercially reasonable efforts to give the other prior notice of the meeting or conversation and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Body, a reasonable opportunity to attend or participate. The parties shall reasonably consult and cooperate with one another and permit the other party or its counsel to review in advance any proposed written communication by such party to any Governmental Body in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any other Antitrust Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each of SeaSpine and Orthofix shall (i) give the other party prompt notice of the commencement or written threat of commencement of any legal proceeding by or before any Governmental Body with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) keep the other party informed as to the status of any such legal proceeding or threat and (iii) reasonably cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Subject to the conditions and upon the terms of this Agreement, each of Orthofix and SeaSpine shall use reasonable best efforts (subject to, and in accordance with, applicable Law) to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the conditions and upon the terms of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to cooperate with the other party, execute and deliver such further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other party to evidence or reflect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the execution and delivery of all documents, certificates, agreements and instruments reasonably necessary for all filings hereunder); (ii) to give all notices required to be made and given by such party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) to obtain each approval, consent, ratification, permission and waiver of authorization required to be obtained from a Governmental Body or a party to any material Contract; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall (A) SeaSpine or Orthofix or any of their respective Subsidiaries be required to pay any fee, penalty or other consideration to any third party for any approval, consent, ratification, permission or waiver of authorization required to be obtained from parties to any material Contracts or (B) the receipt of any such approval, consent, ratification, permission or waiver of authorization required to be obtained from parties to any material Contracts be a condition to any party’s obligations hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Orthofix nor SeaSpine, by itself or on behalf of any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (A) is required to divest, sell, dispose of, or license or agree to divest, sell, dispose of, or license any assets, businesses, rights or operations and (B) shall, without the prior written consent of the other, offer or agree to divest, sell, dispose of, or license any assets, businesses, rights or operations, in the case of each of (A) and (B), in order to satisfy the conditions in Section 7.01(d) and Section 7.01(e).

6.06 Termination of SeaSpine ESPP. SeaSpine shall take all actions necessary to (a) provide that no Offering Period (as defined in the SeaSpine ESPP) shall commence under the SeaSpine ESPP following the date hereof, (b) provide that the Offering Period in effect on the date hereof under the SeaSpine ESPP shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date that is four (4) Trading Days prior to the Effective Time or (ii) the date on which such Offering Period would otherwise end, and that no additional Offering Periods shall commence under the SeaSpine ESPP after the date hereof, (c) provide that an Exercise Date (as defined in the SeaSpine ESPP) shall occur under the SeaSpine ESPP upon the earlier of (i) the date that is four (4) Trading Days prior to the Effective Time or (ii) the date on which such Offering Period would otherwise end, (d) provide that no individual participating in the SeaSpine ESPP shall be permitted to increase his or her rate of payroll contributions thereunder from the rate in effect as of the date hereof, (e) provide that no individual who is not participating in the SeaSpine ESPP as of the date hereof may commence participation in the SeaSpine ESPP following the date hereof and (f) terminate the SeaSpine ESPP as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Any SeaSpine Shares acquired after the date hereof under the SeaSpine ESPP shall be treated as outstanding SeaSpine Shares for purposes of Section 2.08(a)(ii).

6.07 Employee and Labor Matters.

(a) With respect to the compensation and benefits to be provided after the Effective Time in respect of individuals who are employees of SeaSpine or its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (the “SeaSpine Employees”) and to individuals who are employees of Orthofix or its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (the “Orthofix Employees” and, together with SeaSpine Employees, the “Employees”) who are not represented by a union or labor organization with respect to the terms and conditions of their employment nor employed pursuant to the terms of a collective bargaining agreement, SeaSpine and Orthofix have agreed that, consistent with the current practices of SeaSpine and Orthofix, the Surviving Corporation and Orthofix shall seek, after the Effective Time, to attract and retain superior quality executive, managerial, technical and administrative personnel in every market in which they conduct activities and will generally implement compensation and benefit plans and policies necessary or appropriate to achieve this objective. It is the specific intention that, in each of the markets in which they operate, the compensation and benefit programs of the Surviving Corporation and Orthofix (i) will be competitive with those provided generally in their industry, both with respect to the type and variety of programs as well as the level of benefits afforded, and (ii) will treat similarly-situated SeaSpine Employees and Orthofix Employees on a substantially comparable basis, taking into account all relevant factors, including duties, geographic location, tenure, qualifications and abilities.

(b) For all purposes under the employee benefit plans of Orthofix and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each SeaSpine Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with SeaSpine and its Subsidiaries before the Effective Time for purposes of vesting, benefits eligibility and level of benefits, and each Orthofix Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with Orthofix and its Subsidiaries before the Effective Time for such purposes, in each case, to the same extent as such Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar SeaSpine Plan or Orthofix Plan, as applicable; provided, however, that such service crediting shall not be required (i) to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits or (ii) to the extent SeaSpine Employees and Orthofix Employees are equally affected without regard to whether employment before the Effective Time was with SeaSpine and its Subsidiaries or Orthofix and its Subsidiaries (for example, in the event a New Plan is adopted for SeaSpine Employees and Orthofix Employees under which no participants receive credit for service before the effective date of the New Plan). In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (b), Orthofix shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide that (A) each Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable SeaSpine Plan or Orthofix Plan in which such Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (B) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Employee, pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan are waived for such Employee and his or her covered dependents, and any eligible expenses incurred by such Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins are taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(c) The Merger shall be deemed to constitute a “Corporate Transaction” and “Change in Control” for purposes of each of the Orthofix Equity Plan and the Orthofix Inducement Plans

and all awards granted respectively thereunder, and it is the intent of the parties that awards under such respective Plans shall be continued, and that all awards under the Orthofix Equity Plan will be treated in accordance with Section 17.4(b) of the Orthofix Equity Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not be interpreted to affect whether or not the Merger will be deemed a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar phrase for any purpose other than as specifically stated in the preceding sentence.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall not be construed to prevent the termination of employment of any Employee or the amendment or termination of any particular SeaSpine Plan or Orthofix Plan, to the extent permitted by its terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, constitute the establishment or adoption of, or amendment to, any SeaSpine Plan or Orthofix Plan, and no Person participating in any such Plan shall have any claim or cause of action, under ERISA or otherwise, in respect of the provisions of this Agreement as it relates to any such plan or otherwise.

6.08 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) Orthofix agrees that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities, including advancement of expenses, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of SeaSpine (the “Indemnified Parties”) as provided in SeaSpine’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended), SeaSpine’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended), or any indemnification Contract between such directors or officers and SeaSpine (in each case, as in effect on, and, in the case of any indemnification Contracts, to the extent made available to Orthofix prior to, the date of this Agreement) shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Orthofix shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses equivalent to the provisions of SeaSpine’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended), and SeaSpine’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended), as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification with respect to any claim made for indemnification within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, Orthofix shall guarantee and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.08.

(b) Prior to or at the Effective Time, SeaSpine shall purchase a six (6)-year prepaid “tail” policy, with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under SeaSpine’s existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance, with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions or actions contemplated by this Agreement), and Orthofix shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that SeaSpine shall not pay or agree to pay, and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay, in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by SeaSpine prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of such “tail” policy. Should SeaSpine be unable to purchase a 6-year tail policy for fiduciary liability, SeaSpine shall purchase the longest tail period available, which shall be deemed to satisfy this Section 6.08(b).

(c) The covenants contained in this Section 6.08 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any such person is entitled, whether pursuant to applicable Law, Contract or otherwise.

(d) If Orthofix or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Orthofix or the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.08.

6.09 Public Disclosure. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release in form and substance acceptable to each party, and thereafter Orthofix and SeaSpine shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that subject to compliance by the parties in all respects with the terms of Section 6.04 of this Agreement, no such opportunity to review and comment shall be required in connection with a SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change (or any responses thereto) or an Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change (or any responses thereto). No provision of this Agreement shall prohibit either SeaSpine or Orthofix from issuing any press release or public statement in the event of a SeaSpine Adverse Recommendation Change or an Orthofix Adverse Recommendation Change in compliance in all respects with the terms of Section 6.04 of this Agreement.

6.10 NASDAQ Listing of Additional Shares. Orthofix shall, in accordance with the requirements of NASDAQ, file with NASDAQ a Listing of Additional Shares Notice covering the Orthofix Shares to be issued to SeaSpine Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Orthofix Shares issuable with respect to the SeaSpine Restricted Shares, SeaSpine RSUs and SeaSpine Options), as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the Closing Date.

6.11 Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Orthofix and SeaSpine shall, and shall cause the members of its board of directors to, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, grant such approvals and take such actions, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, and in any event prior to the Termination Date, on the terms and conditions contemplated hereby and otherwise, and to the extent permissible under applicable Law, take such actions as are necessary to eliminate the effect of any Takeover Law on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.12 Section 16. Orthofix shall, prior to the Effective Time, cause the Orthofix Board to approve the issuance of Orthofix Shares in connection with the Merger with respect to any employees of SeaSpine who, as a result of their relationship with Orthofix as of or following the Effective Time, are subject or will become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent necessary for such issuance to be an exempt acquisition pursuant to SEC Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, SeaSpine shall cause the SeaSpine Board shall approve the disposition of SeaSpine equity securities (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger by those directors and officers of SeaSpine subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent necessary for such disposition to be an exempt disposition pursuant to SEC Rule 16b-3.

6.13 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) None of the parties shall (and each party shall cause its respective Subsidiaries not to) take any action (or knowingly fail to take any action) which action (or failure to act) would or would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties shall treat, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and no party shall take any position for Tax purposes inconsistent therewith.

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Closing, Orthofix, on the one hand, and SeaSpine, on the other hand, shall cooperate with each other and each shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain: (i) in the case of Orthofix, a written opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Orthofix, of Hogan Lovells US LLP (or other nationally recognized tax counsel reasonably acceptable to Orthofix, which shall include DLA Piper LLP) (“Orthofix Tax Counsel”); and (ii) in the case of SeaSpine, a written opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to SeaSpine, of DLA Piper LLP (or other nationally recognized tax counsel reasonably acceptable to SeaSpine, which shall include Hogan Lovells US LLP) (“SeaSpine Tax Counsel”) (each such opinion referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Merger Tax Opinion”). Each Merger Tax Opinion shall be dated as of the Closing Date, and (a) be to the effect that, on the basis of customary representations, assumptions and undertakings set forth or referred to in such opinion and in the related Merger Tax Representation Letters, the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (b) will address any supplemental matter reasonably requested by both Orthofix and SeaSpine to be included in such opinion. Each of Orthofix, SeaSpine, and Merger Sub shall deliver to Orthofix Tax Counsel and SeaSpine Tax Counsel for purposes of the Merger Tax Opinions a representation letter dated as of the Closing Date (and, if requested, dated as of the date the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC or such other date(s) as determined necessary by Orthofix Tax Counsel and SeaSpine Tax Counsel in connection with the filing of the registration statement or its exhibits) containing customary representations, assumptions and undertakings, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Orthofix Tax Counsel and SeaSpine Tax Counsel (the “Merger Tax Representation Letters”). Orthofix will promptly notify SeaSpine if, before the Closing, (i) it knows or has reason to believe that Orthofix is no longer able to obtain the Merger Tax Opinion from Orthofix Tax Counsel, or (ii) the terms of this Agreement would need to be amended in order to facilitate receipt of such opinion. SeaSpine will promptly notify Orthofix if, before the Closing, (A) it knows or has reason to believe that SeaSpine is no longer able to obtain the Merger Tax Opinion from SeaSpine Tax Counsel, or (B) the terms of this Agreement would need to be amended in order to facilitate receipt of such opinion.

6.14 No Control of Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give SeaSpine, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct Orthofix’s operations or give Orthofix, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct SeaSpine’s operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of SeaSpine and Orthofix shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its respective operations.

6.15 Filing of Form S-8; Listing of Additional Shares. Orthofix shall file no later than five (5) days after the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) with respect to the Orthofix Shares issuable with respect to SeaSpine Restricted Shares, SeaSpine RSUs and SeaSpine Options pursuant to Section 2.08(b), and shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long such SeaSpine Restricted Shares, SeaSpine RSUs and SeaSpine Options remain outstanding.

6.16 Loan Payoff. SeaSpine shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver all notices and take all other actions, in each case to the extent reasonably requested by Orthofix, that are reasonably necessary to facilitate the termination at Closing of all commitments in respect of the SeaSpine Existing Loan Documents, the repayment in full at the Closing of all obligations in respect of the indebtedness thereunder, and the release on or promptly following the Closing of any Liens securing such indebtedness and guarantees in connection therewith. In furtherance thereof, at the written request of Orthofix, SeaSpine shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the receipt and delivery to Orthofix, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, of a customary payoff letter executed from the holders (or agent on behalf of such holders) of Indebtedness under the SeaSpine Existing Loan Documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Orthofix, in which the payee shall agree that upon payment of the amounts specified in such payoff letter: (i) all outstanding payment obligations of SeaSpine and its Subsidiaries arising under the SeaSpine Existing Loan Documents shall be repaid, discharged and extinguished in full on the Closing Date; (ii) all Liens in connection therewith shall be terminated, discharged and released; and (iii) the payee shall take all actions reasonably requested by Orthofix (or shall allow SeaSpine or Orthofix to take all actions) to evidence and record such termination, discharge and release of Liens as promptly as practicable after the Closing (the “SeaSpine Existing Loan Documents Termination”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) in no event shall this Section 6.16 require SeaSpine or any of its Subsidiaries to cause the SeaSpine Existing Loan Documents Termination unless the Closing shall have occurred and (y) Orthofix shall provide, or cause to be provided, all funds required to effect the SeaSpine Existing Loan Documents Termination.

6.17 SeaSpine Exchangeable Shares Notice. Prior to the Closing, SeaSpine shall, in accordance with AcquireCo’s Articles, (a) provide written notice to each holder of SeaSpine Exchangeable Shares that a mandatory redemption of all outstanding SeaSpine Exchangeable Shares shall occur in connection with the Merger and (b) effect a SeaSpine Exchangeable Share Redemption and the issuance of SeaSpine Shares in connection therewith and with respect to all outstanding SeaSpine Exchangeable Shares contingent upon, and as of immediately prior to, the Effective Time.

If, concurrently with or within twelve (12) months after any such termination described in the immediately preceding sentence, SeaSpine enters into a definitive agreement (which is ultimately consummated) with respect to, or otherwise consummates, any Acquisition Proposal with respect to SeaSpine (substituting fifty percent (50%) for the twenty percent (20%) threshold set forth in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” for all purposes under this Section 8.03(c)), then SeaSpine shall pay to Orthofix the SeaSpine Termination Fee as promptly as possible (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) following the consummation of such Acquisition Proposal. Other than with respect to claims for, or arising out of or in connection with an Intentional and Material Breach hereunder or Fraud, Orthofix’s right to receive the one-time payment of the SeaSpine Termination Fee (if and when due) and the Expenses from SeaSpine as provided in this Section 8.03(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Orthofix against SeaSpine or any of its former, current or future equityholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents or Representatives with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Orthofix or SeaSpine pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) or Section 8.01(d)(iii) (including if terminated or terminable pursuant to one or more of

such provisions), and, upon such payment of the SeaSpine Termination Fee (if and when due) and the Expenses, none of SeaSpine’s or any of its former, current or future equityholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) In the event that, prior to the Orthofix Stockholders’ Meeting, (i) an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Orthofix is publicly proposed or publicly disclosed and this Agreement is terminated by Orthofix or SeaSpine pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i) or Section 8.01(d)(iv), and such Acquisition Proposal is not irrevocably withdrawn at or prior to the Orthofix Stockholders’ Meeting, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(iv), or prior to the time of the relevant breach or failure to be true of a covenant, obligation, representation or warranty, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i), then, in each case, Orthofix shall pay to SeaSpine the Expenses no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt by Orthofix following termination of documentation supporting such Expenses from SeaSpine. If, concurrently with or within twelve (12) months after any such termination described in the immediately preceding sentence, Orthofix enters into a definitive agreement (which is ultimately consummated) with respect to, or consummates, any Acquisition Proposal with respect to Orthofix (substituting fifty percent (50%) for the twenty percent (20%) threshold set forth in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” for all purposes under this Section 8.03(d)), then Orthofix shall pay to SeaSpine the Orthofix Termination Fee as promptly as possible (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) following the consummation of such Acquisition Proposal. Other than with respect to claims for, or arising out of or in connection with an Intentional and Material Breach hereunder or Fraud, SeaSpine’s right to receive the one-time payment of the Orthofix Termination Fee (if and when due) and the Expenses from Orthofix as provided in this Section 8.03(d) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to SeaSpine against Orthofix or any of its former, current or future equityholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents or Representatives with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Orthofix or SeaSpine pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i) or Section 8.01(d)(iv) (including if terminated or terminable pursuant to one or more of such provisions), and, upon such payment of the Orthofix Termination Fee (if and when due) and the Expenses, none of Orthofix’s or any of its former, current or future equityholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) As used in this Agreement, “Orthofix Termination Fee” shall mean $13,744,149 and “SeaSpine Termination Fee” shall mean $10,582,995. As used in this Agreement, “Expenses” shall mean reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, not to exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate, incurred or paid by or on behalf of the party receiving payment thereof and its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, in each case including documented fees and expenses of law firms, commercial banks, investment banking firms, financing sources, accountants, experts and consultants to such party and its Affiliates.

(f) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither SeaSpine nor Orthofix would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if either party fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.03 (such party, the “Defaulting Party”), and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Defaulting Party for any payments set forth in this Section 8.03, the Defaulting Party shall pay to the Non-Defaulting Party its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the Orthofix Termination Fee or the SeaSpine Termination Fee, as applicable, and the Expenses to be reimbursed to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Section 8.03 from the date payment was required to be made until the date of such payment at the prime

rate published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to a provision that calls for a payment to be made under this Section 8.03, it shall not be a defense to either party’s obligation to pay hereunder that this Agreement could have been terminated under a different provision or could have been terminated at an earlier or later time.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Orthofix and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and SeaSpine, on the other hand, shall each pay its own expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses) in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether consummated or not).

9.02 Amendment. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any provision of this Agreement may be amended (whether before or after any required approval by SeaSpine Stockholders or Orthofix Stockholders) if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by Orthofix, SeaSpine and Merger Sub; provided, however, that after the receipt of SeaSpine Stockholder Approval or Orthofix Stockholder Approval, no amendment shall be made which by applicable Laws or the rules of NASDAQ requires further approval of SeaSpine Stockholders or Orthofix Stockholders without the further approval of such shareholders.

9.03 Waiver.

(a) No failure on the part of any party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

(b) No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party, and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

9.04 No Survival of Representations and Warranties.

9.06 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction.

(b) The parties agree that the appropriate, exclusive and convenient forum (the “Forum”) for any disputes among any of the parties arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, except where such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. In such event, the Forum shall be the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, in the event such federal district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, then the Superior Court in the State of Delaware. The parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts solely in respect of any disputes between them arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties further agree that no party shall bring suit with respect to any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court or jurisdiction other than the above specified courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.06 shall limit the rights of any party to obtain execution of a judgment of any of the above specified courts in any other jurisdiction outside of those specified in this Section 9.06, and the parties further agree, to the extent permitted by Law, that a final and non-appealable judgment against any party in any action, suit or proceeding contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the U.S. by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment.

(c) To the extent that any party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each such party hereby irrevocably (i) waives such immunity in respect of its obligations with respect to this Agreement and (ii) submits to the personal jurisdiction of each court described in Section 9.06(b).

9.07 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

9.08 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.09 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for following the Effective Time, the right of the Indemnified Parties to enforce the provisions of Section 6.08 only, Orthofix, SeaSpine and Merger Sub agree that (a) their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.
