Commitment to Appoint Politan Nominee as Director Reflects Board’s Openness to Qualified and Experienced Perspectives

Board Strongly Encourages Stockholders to Protect Their Investment by Voting FOR H Michael Cohen and Julie Shimer, Ph.D., and FOR Board Expansion on the WHITE Proxy Card

On June 2, 2023, Masimo Corporation (“Masimo”) issued the following press release in connection with Masimo’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which corrects Masimo’s press release issued earlier on June 2, 2023 (the “Prior Release”).

The Prior Release stated that stockholders do not need to vote for Ms. Brennan to add her to Masimo’s Board of Directors. The following press release removes this statement and clarifies that Masimo’s Board of Directors has committed to appoint Ms. Brennan to the Board if stockholders approve the expansion of the Board of Directors at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Masimo’s two director nominees, H Michael Cohen and Julie Shimer, Ph.D., are elected to the Board at the Annual Meeting.

Commitment to Appoint Politan Nominee as Director Reflects Board’s Openness to Qualified and Experienced Perspectives

Board Strongly Encourages Stockholders to Protect Their Investment by Voting FOR H Michael Cohen and Julie Shimer, Ph.D., and FOR Board Expansion on the WHITE Proxy Card

IRVINE, Calif. – (BUSINESS WIRE) – June 2, 2023. The Board of Directors of Masimo Corporation (“Masimo” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MASI) today announced its commitment to appoint Michelle Brennan as the Company’s sixth director, pending stockholder approval of the proposal to expand the Board of Directors to seven and the election of the Company’s highly qualified director nominees, H Michael Cohen and Julie Shimer, Ph.D. Ms. Brennan was nominated by Politan Capital Management (“Politan”).

Stockholders should vote FOR Mr. Cohen and Dr. Shimer and FOR Board expansion on the WHITE proxy card. Should stockholders approve the Board expansion and elect the Company’s nominees, Ms. Brennan would be appointed to the Board as a Class II director effective immediately following the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 26, 2023, subject to Ms. Brennan’s willingness to serve. In the event Quentin Koffey, Politan’s other director nominee, is elected to the Board at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Masimo’s Board would not appoint Ms. Brennan to the Board following the meeting.

“Unlike Politan’s other nominee, Quentin Koffey, who has a history of misstatement and distortion and no relevant experience, Ms. Brennan has operational and leadership experience in the medical devices industry at Johnson & Johnson, prior public company board service at Cardinal Health and Coupa Software,” said Dr. Shimer, chair of the Board’s Nominating Committee. “Though Politan has not permitted us to interview Ms. Brennan after repeated requests, we conducted independent due diligence on her past leadership and board service experiences and feel she would bring a constructive and relevant perspective to the Board. As this action shows, the Board is open to experienced insight and diverse perspectives and will continue to seek out similarly qualified and independent candidates for the seventh Board seat.”

To protect stockholders’ investment and to ensure Masimo continues to create value, the Board encourages stockholders to vote FOR Masimo’s highly qualified director nominees, H Michael Cohen and Julie Shimer, Ph.D.
