<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">IRVINE, Calif. &ndash; May 31,
2024 &ndash; Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today that its Board of Directors has nominated Christopher Chavez for election as a Class
II Director at the Company&rsquo;s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Following Rolf Classon&rsquo;s unexpected resignation from the
Board on May 10, 2024, due to health issues, members of the Board contacted and considered several candidates with skills and experiences
that would enhance the Board&rsquo;s slate. Mr. Chavez brings more than 30 years of leadership experience in the medical device industry,
including two past appointments as a public company CEO and many years as an independent public company director.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Craig Reynolds, Masimo&rsquo;s Lead Independent Director and Chair
of the Nominating, Compliance and Corporate Governance Committee, said, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re pleased to announce Chris&rsquo;s nomination.
With his successful track record as a former CEO at two medical technology companies, the industry expertise he demonstrated in his role
as the Chair of the Medical Device Manufacturers Association and his experience as an independent public company director, Mr. Chavez
would add valuable strategic, operational and transactional expertise to the Masimo Board.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;I am excited about the prospect of joining Masimo&rsquo;s Board
and helping the Company continue on its growth trajectory,&rdquo; said Mr. Chavez. &ldquo;I look forward to working with the entire Board
to help Masimo reach its full potential.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Separately, the Company extended its third settlement offer to Politan
Capital Management, proposing that Mr. Chavez and Politan nominee William Jellison be added to the Board. The expansion of the Board to
seven members, six of whom are independent, would avoid concerns of potential deadlock on the Board. Politan rejected the offer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Mr. Chavez was most recently Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President of TriVascular, Inc., where, over the course of four years, he led the company&rsquo;s commercialization of an innovative abdominal
aortic stent graft system, including achieving FDA premarket approval, and successfully negotiated the merger of TriVascular into Endologix,
Inc. in 2016.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Prior to TriVascular, Mr. Chavez served as CEO and President of Advanced
Neuromodulation Systems, Inc. (ANSI), where he led the company&rsquo;s growth from a $50 million market capitalization in 1997 to $1.4

St. Jude Medical&rsquo;s Neuromodulation Division until 2011.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">In addition to his board service at ANSI

subject to risks and uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Masimo&rsquo;s control and could
cause its actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in its forward-looking statements as a result of various
risk factors, including, but not limited to (i) uncertainties regarding a potential separation of Masimo&rsquo;s Consumer Business, (ii)
uncertainties regarding future actions that may be taken by Politan in furtherance of its nomination of director candidates for election
at the 2024 Annual Meeting, (iii) the potential cost and management distraction attendant to Politan&rsquo;s nomination of director nominees
at the 2024 Annual Meeting and (iv) factors discussed in the &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; section of Masimo&rsquo;s most recent reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&ldquo;SEC&rdquo;), which may be obtained for free at the SEC&rsquo;s website at www.sec.gov.
Although Masimo believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company does not know whether
its expectations will prove correct. All forward-looking statements included in this communication are expressly qualified in their entirety
by the foregoing cautionary statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of today&rsquo;s date. Masimo does not undertake any obligation to update, amend or clarify these statements or the &ldquo;Risk
Factors&rdquo; contained in the Company&rsquo;s most recent reports filed with the SEC, whether as a result of new information, future
