Caruso Chairman of the Board of Directors Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation 311 Enterprise Drive Plainsboro, NJ 08536 Dear Richard, I have decided not to stand for re-election as a director of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 17, 2005. As you know, my new firm TowerBrook Capital Partners, L.P. has been formed as a consequence of a spinout from Soros Fund Management LLC, and is not responsible for the management of the continuing Soros investment in Integra. Thus, this is an appropriate moment for me to end my service on Integra's Board. My decision was not the result of any disagreement with Integra's management or auditors on any matter relating to the Integra's operations, policies or practices. It has been a pleasure working with you over the last six years. I wish you and Integra continued success. Very truly yours, /s/ Neal Moszkowski Neal Moszkowski cc: Board of Directors Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation Stuart M. Essig
