Note 1: On March 1, 2022, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (“Zimmer Biomet”) completed the separation of ZimVie Inc. (the “Company”) through the distribution of 80.3% of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) to Zimmer Biomet’s stockholders (the “Spinoff”). Immediately following the Spinoff, Zimmer Biomet directly owned 5,131,946 shares, or 19.7%, of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Pursuant to a Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2022 (the “Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement”), between Zimmer Biomet and the Company, Zimmer Biomet granted to the Company a proxy to vote the shares of Company Common Stock owned by Zimmer Biomet immediately after the Spinoff in proportion to the votes cast by the Company’s other stockholders. As a result, Zimmer Biomet does not exercise voting power over any of the shares of Company Common Stock it directly owns.

Note 2: On September 1, 2022, Zimmer Biomet entered into a forward exchange agreement and pledge agreement (collectively the “Forward Exchange Agreement”) with a third-party financial institution to deliver to them all of its 5,131,946 shares of Company Common Stock in the first quarter of 2023. Zimmer Biomet pledged all 5,131,946 of its shares of Company Common Stock to the financial institution as collateral for its obligations under the Forward Exchange Agreement and under a short-term credit agreement Zimmer Biomet entered into with the same third-party financial institution on August 31, 2022 (the “Short-Term Loan”). Upon settlement of the Forward Exchange Agreement and the Short-Term Loan, Zimmer Biomet will transfer all of its shares of Company Common Stock to the financial institution counterparty to settle the Forward Exchange Agreement.

Note 3: The denominator for this calculation is based on 26,088,272 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of November 4, 2022, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2022.
