DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

This Director Compensation Policy (this “Policy”) of Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. (the “Company”), as adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), effective as of [•] (the “Effective Date”), sets forth the compensation payable to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Non-Employee Director”) and each member of the Board who is an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, an “Executive Director” and together with the Non-Employee Directors, the “Directors”) as consideration solely for service on the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Policy will prohibit the Company from compensating any Director for services provided to the Company outside of such Director’s service on the Board. This Policy shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by the Board in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time.

1. General. This Policy shall be followed in connection with all compensation paid by the Company to Directors. The terms and conditions of this Policy shall supersede any prior cash and/or equity compensation arrangements for service as a member of the Board between the Company and any of its Directors and between any subsidiary of the Company and any of its directors.

2. Cash Compensation.

(a) Executive Director Annual Stipend. Each Executive Director serving as a member of the Board shall receive an annual cash stipend of $50,000 (the “Annual Stipend”) for service on the Board. Executive Directors shall not be entitled to any other cash, equity or other compensation under this Policy.

(b) Non-Employee Director Annual Retainer. Each Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Board shall receive an annual cash retainer of $60,000 for service on the Board, and (ii) the non-executive chair, if any, shall receive an additional annual cash retainer of $60,000 ((i) and (ii), as applicable, the “Annual Retainer”).

(ii) Each member of the Compensation Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $9,000 for such service.

(iii) Each member of the Governance Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $6,000 for such service.

(e) Payment Schedule and Prorated Compensation for the Annual Stipend, Annual Retainers, Committee Chair Compensation and Committee Member Compensation. The Annual Stipend, Annual Retainer, Committee Chair Compensation and Committee Member Compensation (collectively, “Cash Compensation”) for each Director shall be paid by the Company in quarterly installments in arrears within 60 days following the completion of each quarter. Such amounts shall be paid in the calendar quarter immediately following the quarter to which such amount relates. If a Director does not serve as a Director (or in the applicable positions described in Sections 2(b) or 2(c)) for an entire calendar quarter, such Director shall receive a prorated portion of the Cash Compensation otherwise payable to such Director for such calendar quarter pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c), with such prorated portion determined by multiplying such otherwise payable Cash Compensation by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during which the Director serves as a Director (or in the applicable positions described in Sections 2(b) or 2(c)) during the applicable calendar quarter and the denominator of which is the number of days in the applicable calendar quarter.

3. Equity Compensation. Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the equity awards described below, subject to the Board’s approval. The awards described below shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company (such plan, as may be amended from time to time, the “Equity Plan”) and shall be granted subject to award agreements in substantially the forms approved by the Board. All applicable terms of the Equity Plan apply to this Policy as if fully set forth herein, and all equity grants hereunder are subject in all respects to the terms of the Equity Plan.

(a) Annual Award. Each Non-Employee Director who (i) serves on the Board as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) and (ii) will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such Annual Meeting shall be granted, subject to the Board’s approval, on the date of such Annual Meeting, an award of Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the Equity Plan, “RSUs”) pursuant to the Equity Plan with a grant date value equal to approximately $185,000.

(b) Additional Terms of Awards.

4. Expense Reimbursement. All Directors will be eligible to be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred to attend meetings of the Board or committees thereof or otherwise performing duties consistent with service on the Board in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, subject to the provision by the applicable Director of documentation evidencing such expenses in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

5. Section 409A. In no event will cash compensation or expense reimbursement payments under this Policy be paid after the later of (a) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the compensation is earned or expenses are incurred, as applicable, or (b) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the compensation is earned or expenses are incurred, as applicable, in compliance with the “short-term deferral” exception under Section 409A. It is the intent of this Policy that this Policy and all payments hereunder be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the compensation to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or comply. In no event will the Company have any responsibility, liability, or obligation to reimburse, indemnify, or hold harmless a Director (or any other person) for any taxes imposed, or other costs incurred, as a result of Section 409A.

6. Insider Trading. All Directors are subject to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
