IRVINE, Calif. – (BUSINESS WIRE) June 20, 2023 – The Board of Directors of Masimo Corporation (“Masimo” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MASI) today issued a letter to stockholders in connection with the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 26, 2023. To protect stockholders’ investment and to ensure Masimo continues to innovate breakthrough solutions to help improve lives, improve patient outcomes and reduce cost of care, and take noninvasive monitoring to new sites and applications, the Board encourages stockholders to vote FOR Masimo’s highly qualified director nominees, H Michael Cohen and Julie Shimer, Ph.D. Your vote on the WHITE proxy card helps prevent Politan Capital Management (“Politan”) and its nominee Quentin Koffey from endangering Masimo’s current position and the future it is trying to bring about.

The full text of the Board’s letter to stockholders is available below.

Dear Fellow Masimo Stockholders:

Next week you have an important decision to make about your investment in Masimo and the direction of your Company. Your Board of Directors asks that you consider the following as you make your decision:

•Masimo is a leader. It is one of the most innovative and best performing companies in the healthcare industry and is not in need of intervention. Since the launch of its first products, Masimo has grown at more than twice the rate of the pulse oximetry market and twice the rate of other markets it competes in, generating superior long-term stockholder returns in the process. Masimo’s earnings multiple is higher than its industry peers. With consumer health, Masimo is trying to make a bigger difference in people’s lives and to make Masimo much more valuable. All of this could be lost if Politan’s nominee Quentin Koffey is elected to the Board.

•Mr. Koffey has shown that he intends to fundamentally change Masimo’s innovation culture, which has driven and differentiated Masimo since its founding more than 30 years ago, and depart from the strategy that has consistently delivered results for stockholders.

•Politan is seeking half of the independent seats on the Board, which would immediately give Politan outsized influence over Masimo’s leadership and future and a clear path to control of the Company.

•The Board offered to work with Politan to identify and select two new independent directors. Politan refused unless one of the directors was Mr. Koffey. The Board declined to appoint Mr. Koffey, given his lack of qualifications, misrepresentations and reckless behavior prior to Masimo’s trade secret trial with Apple, but committed to appoint Michelle Brennan, Politan’s other nominee, in the event that stockholders reelect Masimo’s director nominees and approve the proposal to expand the Board.

•The Board has listened carefully to stockholders, both recently and throughout Masimo’s history, and enacted changes that directly reflected their input. The changes made recently, including the declassification and expansion of the Board, the appointment of a Lead Independent Director and the waiver of key provisions of the CEO’s employment agreement, represent quick and decisive responses to specific stockholder feedback.

•Electing Mr. Koffey would derail Masimo and risk the loss of its senior leadership and engineering teams.

There is no need to risk Masimo’s future and the value of your investment. Masimo’s Board has been unified and unwavering in its commitment to act in the best interests of all stockholders. We urge you to vote on the WHITE proxy card FOR H Michael Cohen and Julie A. Shimer, Ph.D.

Thank you for your continued support,

Masimo Board of Directors
