Commitments and Contingencies	7. Commitments and Contingencies Arbitration claims with former executives In September 2023, the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board“) terminated the employment of Keith Valentine, John Bostjancic, and Patrick Keran, who had served respectively as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Legal Officer (collectively, the “Former Executives”). The Board’s decision followed an investigation conducted by independent outside legal counsel and directed and overseen by a committee of certain of the Company’s independent directors. At the time of termination, the Company notified each of the Former Executives that their respective terminations of employment were being made for “Cause,” as such term is defined in applicable employment-related agreements (including each executive’s respective Change in Control and Severance Agreement, dated June 19, 2023 (the “CIC and Severance Agreements”). The Former Executives subsequently made claims against the Company in arbitration in the State of California, asserting breach of contract because each of them was entitled to the severance payments and other equity-based rights that would be owed to them if their respective termination had been made “without Cause” under the CIC and Severance Agreements, and further asserting damages for purported defamation, false light invasion of privacy, and deceit, as well as indemnification and advancement for attorneys’ fees. An arbitration hearing in Mr. Valentine’s arbitration process took place in October 2025. In addition, on October 2, 2025, the arbitrator in Mr. Valentine’s matter issued a preliminary order finding that, under applicable California law and the terms of Mr. Valentine’s CIC and Severance Agreement, (i) Mr. Valentine’s conduct prior to his entry into such agreement on June 19, 2023 cannot be considered for purposes of determining whether “Cause” existed under the agreement, and (ii) his conduct subsequent to that date did not amount to “Cause”. Therefore, the Company expects the arbitrator’s final ruling in the matter to determine that Mr. Valentine’s termination should have been made “without Cause” under such agreement, and award damages for Mr. Valentine’s breach of contract claim. The arbitrations for Messrs. Bostjancic and Keran remain pending. The Company continues to disagree with the legal claims asserted by the Former Executives in the respective arbitration matters and is vigorously defending them. While certain legal issues remain pending in Mr. Valentine’s matter with respect to whether certain severance and equity-based rights are owed, and how much interest has accrued, the Company has recorded an accounting accrual in the amount of $18.3 million, reflecting the Company’s current estimate of the value of severance and equity-based rights that would be owed to each of the Former Executives in a “without Cause” termination if they were each determined to be entitled to severance and equity-based rights, plus pre-judgment interest. The Company has not recorded any accounting accrual at this time in connection with the portion of the Former Executives’ claims relating to purported defamation, false light invasion of privacy, and deceit, and the Company currently cannot reasonably estimate a possible loss, or range of loss, that may arise from those claims. The Company expects a final order from the arbitrator with respect to Mr. Valentine’s matter in the first quarter of 2026. At this time, Messrs. Bostjancic and Keran’s arbitration hearings are currently expected to occur in 2026. In addition to these arbitration claims, in September 2024 Messrs. Valentine, Bostjancic and Keran filed an action in California State Court against former director and interim CEO Catherine Burzik and current director Wayne Burris, seeking relief for, among other things, alleged defamation, false light invasion of privacy, intentional misrepresentation, false promise, and tortious interference with contract. The Company disagrees with the allegations contained in the action against Ms. Burzik and Mr. Burris and is vigorously defending the asserted claims. Due in part to the preliminary nature of the matter, the Company currently cannot reasonably estimate a possible loss, or range of loss, that may arise from the action. Securities class action complaints On August 21, 2024, a securities class action complaint captioned Bernal v. Orthofix Medical Inc., et al., Case No. 24-cv-00690, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the "Bernal Complaint"). The plaintiff, a purported Company shareholder, alleges through the complaint violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and names as defendants the Company and the following former Company directors and officers: Jon Serbousek (former director and former President and Chief Executive Officer), Keith Valentine (former director and former President and Chief Executive Officer), John Bostjancic (former Chief Financial Officer), and Patrick Keran (former Chief Legal Officer). The complaint alleges that the Company made, and the named former directors and officers caused the Company to make, materially false and misleading statements between October 11, 2022, and September 12, 2023, that, according to the complaint, falsely assured the market regarding Messrs. Valentine, Bostjancic, and Keran's respective commitments to, among other things, ethical and legal standards and corporate responsibility. On September 6, 2024, a securities class action complaint captioned O'Hara v. Orthofix Medical Inc., et al., Case No. 24-cv-01593, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the "O'Hara Complaint"). The plaintiff, a purported former shareholder of SeaSpine at the time of the SeaSpine Merger, alleges through the complaint violations of Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act, and names most of the same defendants as the Bernal Complaint, as well as certain additional current and/or former Company directors and officers. The complaint makes similar assertions to the Bernal complaint, and alleges that the Company's registration statement on Form S-4 filed in 2022 in connection with the SeaSpine Merger, as well as related written and oral offering materials, contained untrue statements of material fact and material omissions, including, among other things, with respect to the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls. On November 26, 2024, the O'Hara Complaint was transferred to the Eastern District of Texas, and on December 11, 2024, the O'Hara Complaint was consolidated with the Bernal Complaint. On April 17, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in the consolidated action, captioned In re Orthofix Medical Inc. Securities Litigation, with substantially the same allegations contained in the Bernal Complaint and the O'Hara Complaint. The consolidated case is captioned In re Orthofix Medical Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 24-cv-00690 and is pending in the Eastern District of Texas. The Company and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on May 15, 2025. On October 28, 2024, a derivative shareholder complaint was filed against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors alleging derivative liability for the allegations made in the two complaints noted above. On December 18, 2024, a second derivative shareholder complaint was filed with the same allegations made in the first derivative shareholder complaint. On March 21, 2025, the two derivative shareholder complaints were consolidated into one case. The Company disagrees with the legal claims asserted in these complaints and is vigorously defending them. Due in part to the preliminary nature of these three matters, the Company currently cannot reasonably estimate a possible loss, or range of loss, that may arise from the respective complaints. Commitments As a result of the SeaSpine Merger, the Company became party to agreements with certain distributor partners that provide the Company with an option to purchase, and an option for those partners to require the Company to purchase, the distribution business of those partners at specified future dates. At such time, the Company or distributor may (in certain cases, subject to satisfying certain conditions) submit written notice to the other of its intention to exercise its rights and initiate or require the purchase. Upon receipt of the written notice, the Company and the distributor will work in good faith to consummate the purchase, provided that the distributor meets the required conditions of such purchase option. Under certain of these agreements, the purchase price would be paid in shares of the Company's common stock, whereas for others, the purchase price can be paid in cash or shares, at the Company's option. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock as of September 30, 2025, assuming the options under all the relevant agreements were exercised, the estimated total number of shares the Company would issue under these agreements was approximately 0.3 million shares for agreements that must be settled in shares of the Company's stock. The Company has received notification from one such distributor, who has notified the Company of its decision to exercise its buyout option. The Company is currently in negotiations with this distributor with respect to the conditions of a potential acquisition, the consummation of which may be deferred to a future date. Italian Medical Device Payback ("IMDP") In 2015, the Italian Parliament introduced rules for entities that supply goods and services to the Italian National Healthcare System. A key provision of the law is a 'payback' measure, requiring medical device companies in Italy to make payments to the Italian government if medical device expenditures exceed regional maximum ceilings. Companies are required to make payments equal to a percentage of expenditures exceeding maximum regional caps. In the third quarter of 2022, the Italian Ministry of Health provided guidelines to the Italian regions and provinces on seeking payback of expenditure overruns relating to the 2015 through 2018 calendar years. Since receiving the guidelines, several regions and provinces have requested payment from affected medical device companies, including the Company. The Company has taken legal action to dispute the legality of such measures. In July 2024, the Italian Constitutional Court issued two judgments following public hearings on the matter held in May 2024. These judgments (i) declared the payback system itself as constitutionally legitimate and (ii) extended previously communicated reductions in the payback liability for certain fiscal years to all medical device companies, regardless of whether or not they had waived their legal claims on the matter. The Company accounts for the estimated cost of the IMDP as sales, general, and administrative expense and periodically reassesses the liability based upon current facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company recorded expenses of $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and expenses of $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has accrued $10.3 million related to the IMDP, which it has classified within other long-term liabilities; however, the actual liability could be higher or lower than the amount accrued once all legal proceedings are resolved and upon further clarification of the IMDP by the Italian authorities.
