<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>EXECUTIVE SUMMARY </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We experienced an
extraordinary year in 2015. On February 26, 2015, Cyberonics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (&#147;Cyberonics&#148;), and Sorin S.p.A., a joint stock company organized under the laws of Italy (&#147;Sorin&#148;), announced the intention to combine
in a transaction that the boards of directors of Cyberonics and Sorin believed represents a compelling opportunity to create a new premier global medical technology company (the &#147;Transaction&#148;). In April 2015, we began extensive planning
for the integration of Cyberonics and Sorin, and in mid-October 2015, we closed the Transaction to form LivaNova PLC. As a newly formed company with pro-forma annual sales of approximately $1.2 billion and a combined market capitalization of
approximately $2.7 billion, we rely on the talents of more than 4,600 employees worldwide to design, manufacture and deliver our market-leading cardiac surgery and neuromodulation products, as well as our innovative cardiac rhythm management
products, to patients, physicians and hospitals in more than 100 countries across the globe. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the month prior to the closing, the
director-designees for the Compensation Committee met and discussed committee governance, including a draft of the Compensation Committee&#146;s charter, the appointment of an independent compensation consultant, the independence of the
director-designees, and priorities for the Compensation Committee&#146;s business after the merger closed, including the compensation package for our Chief Executive Officer (&#147;CEO&#148;). On the day of the Transaction closing, our Board met and
confirmed the appointment of the director-designees as members of the Compensation Committee, approved the Compensation Committee&#146;s charter, and approved awards of stock appreciation rights for certain executive officers as contemplated by the
Transaction agreement, among many other matters of Board business. Also at that time, the Compensation Committee met and confirmed the independence and appointment of its compensation advisors and approved a service agreement for our CEO. The
Compensation Committee met again in November 2015, approving certain equity award elements of the CEO&#146;s compensation package and discussing its overarching philosophy on executive officer compensation. During the balance of the fiscal year, the
Compensation Committee planned for its first full fiscal year, 2016. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Early in fiscal year 2016, working with its compensation consultant,
the Compensation Committee approved base salaries and annual cash incentive compensation for our executive officers. In approving adjustments to the cash compensation paid by our legacy companies, the Compensation Committee considered changes in the
scope of each executive officer&#146;s responsibilities, if any, individual performance, the extent of each executive officer&#146;s experience and accomplishments, the extent to which adjustments will promote internal equity among executive
officers from our legacy companies, and benchmarking data provided by its compensation advisor. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Compensation Committee also approved
equity awards for our executive officers, including our CEO, early in fiscal year 2016. The CEO&#146;s equity awards, with a $4.0 million grant date value approximating the median value in the benchmarking data for an annual award, comprised
performance- and market-based restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights that are subject to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">time-based</FONT> vesting. The Compensation Committee intends to mirror these performance- and market-based
awards on an annual basis for our other executive officers to align the full senior team with our stockholders; however, for this first annual award to our other executive officers, the Compensation Committee opted instead to grant time-based
restricted stock unit awards that provide a strong retention incentive during the challenging period of change associated with our merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth below, we provide an overview and analysis of the compensation awarded to or earned by
our named executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table below during the 2015 reporting period, including the elements of our compensation program for named executive officers, material compensation decisions made under that
program for fiscal year 2015 and the material factors considered in making those decisions. Our named executive officers for the reporting period ended December 31, 2015, which consist of our principal executive officer, our principal financial

valuation prospects to identify comparable companies that would place us approximately at the median for revenue and market capitalization among these companies. The Cyberonics Compensation Committee instructed Pearl Meyer to focus on U.S.
companies, as opposed to a blended peer group of U.S. and U.K. companies, because our ordinary shares were expected to trade predominantly on the NASDAQ exchange, and because a higher percentage of target total cash compensation tends to be variable
in the U.S. as compared to the U.K. Because of this difference in pay mix, blending U.S. and U.K. data skews the resulting benchmarks relative to the data in either geography alone. Pearl Meyer selected a peer group of 17 companies (the &#147;2015

addition, the Sorin LTI Awards (2013-2015 and 2014-2016 LTIP cycles) in the form of restricted stock units and performance share units held by Messrs. Ballester, Darnaud, Gutedel and Mauro (a) accelerated in part in connection with the Transaction
with a value of $291,608, $157,762, $137,762 and $130,699, respectively and (b) converted in part into restricted stock units vesting thereafter 50% on each of February 26, 2016 and February 26, 2017. Similarly, the vesting of the Sorin LTI Awards
(2012-14 LTIP cycle) in the form of performance share units held by Messrs. Ballester, Darnaud, Gutedel and Mauro that had not previously become vested was accelerated and the value of these awards as of the date of acceleration was $787,831,
$408,111, $326,293 and $351,328. Finally, Sorin deferred bonus shares held by Messrs. Ballester, Darnaud, Gutedel and Mauro with a value of $1,706,712, $607,062, $180,419 and $632,307, respectively, became fully vested. The values set forth in this
paragraph have been determined by multiplying the fair market value of Sorin shares as of the date of vesting acceleration by the number of shares underlying the applicable award and, with respect to the intrinsic value of Sorin stock appreciation
rights, the underlying exercise price has been subtracted from the fair market value per share before multiplying by the number of shares underlying the awards. </P>

or a sale, merger or consolidation of the business) in an amount equal to 12 months base salary. Upon termination of his employment by us within two years following the closing of the merger Transaction (or through October 18, 2017), Mr. Gutedel is
entitled to receive severance payments equal to two times the sum of his base salary and target gross bonus. Further, Mr. Gutedel is entitled to a pro-rata acceleration of the Day 1 SARs and the full vesting of any other performance-based equity
awards (where performance criteria will be deemed to be met at the 100% level). No severance is payable to Mr. Gutedel upon his election to terminate his employment with us for any reason. </P>

agreements, a prorated portion of the Day 1 SARs granted to each of our named executive officers under the Plan will vest based on the aggregate number of SARs covered by the award and the number of days elapsed in the three-year vesting period
(with the potential for full acceleration at our discretion). Such vested Day 1 SARs will not be subject to a lock-up and may be exercisable for one year following such termination. </P>

time and effort involved in preparing for Board and committee meetings and the additional duties assumed by committee chairs and the Chairman of our Board; (2)&nbsp;the level of continuing education required to remain informed of broad corporate
governance trends and material developments relevant to strategic initiatives within our company; (3)&nbsp;the risks associated with fulfilling fiduciary duties; and (4)&nbsp;the compensation paid to directors at a peer group of companies as

connection with the Transaction, the vesting of outstanding Sorin awards held by Mr. Bifulco was accelerated as of October 19, 2015.&nbsp;In particular, Sorin stock appreciation rights held by Mr. Bifulco with an intrinsic value of $195,920, became
fully vested upon conversion into a stock appreciation right issued under the Sub-Plan with respect to LivaNova Shares.&nbsp;In addition, all outstanding legacy Sorin awards held by Mr. Bifulco with an aggregate intrinsic value of $2,090,417 became
fully vested ($884,125 in respect to the acceleration of the deferred bonus shares, $490,349 in respect of the remaining portion under the 2012-14 LTIP , 484,055 in respect of the 2013-15 LTIP and $231,888 in respect of the 2014-16 performance
shares vesting at 100%).&nbsp;The values set forth in this paragraph have been determined by multiplying the fair market value of Sorin shares as of the date of vesting acceleration by the number of shares underlying the applicable award and, with
respect to the intrinsic value of Sorin stock appreciation rights, the underlying exercise price has been subtracted from the fair market value per share before multiplying by the number of shares underlying the awards. </P>
