We are involved in various ongoing proceedings, legal actions

and claims arising in the normal course of business, including

proceedings related to product, labor, intellectual property and

other matters, the most significant of which are more fully

described below. The outcomes of these matters will generally

not be known for prolonged periods of time. In certain of the legal

proceedings the claimants seek damages as well as other

compensatory and equitable relief that could result in the

payment of significant claims and settlements and/or the

imposition of injunctions or other equitable relief. For legal

matters for which management had sufficient information to

reasonably estimate our future obligations, a liability representing

management's best estimate of the probable loss, or the

minimum of the range of probable losses when a best estimate

within the range is not known, is recorded. The estimates are

based on consultation with legal counsel, previous settlement

experience and settlement strategies. If actual outcomes are less

favorable than those estimated by management, additional

expense may be incurred, which could unfavorably affect future

operating results. We are self-insured for certain claims and

expenses. The ultimate cost to us with respect to product liability

claims could be materially different than the amount of the current

estimates and accruals and could have a material adverse effect

on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We are currently investigating whether certain business activities

in certain foreign countries violated provisions of the Foreign

Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and have engaged outside counsel

to conduct these investigations. We have been contacted by the

United States Securities and Exchange Commission, United

States Department of Justice (DOJ) and certain other regulatory

authorities and are cooperating with these agencies. On April 1,

2025 we were informed by the DOJ that it had closed its inquiry

into potential FCPA violations without further action. At this time

we are unable to predict the outcome of the remaining

investigations or the potential impact, if any, on our financial

We have conducted voluntary recalls of certain products,

including our Rejuvenate and ABG II Modular-Neck hip stems

and certain lot-specific sizes and offsets of LFIT Anatomic CoCr

V40 Femoral Heads. Additionally, we are responsible for certain

product liability claims, primarily related to certain hip products

sold by Wright Medical Group N.V. prior to its 2014 divestiture of

We have incurred, and expect to incur in the future, costs

associated with the defense and settlement of claims and

lawsuits. Based on the information that has been received related

to the matters discussed above, our accrual for these matters

was $164 at June 30, 2025, representing our best estimate of

probable loss. The final outcomes of these matters are

dependent on many factors that are difficult to predict.

Accordingly the ultimate cost related to these matters may be

materially different than the amount of our current estimate and

accruals and could have a material adverse effect on our results
