Forward-Looking Statements
This communication includes forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2024 Annual Meeting") of Masimo and the potential stockholder approval of the Board's nominees; Masimo's earnings per share estimates and targets; Masimo's expectations to double earnings within five years; Masimo's operating margin targets and potential growth; the proposed separation of Masimo's consumer business, including any potential joint venture or any other potential separation of Masimo's consumer business, the status of ongoing discussions between Masimo and other potential joint venture partners or acquirors of its consumer business, and the potential timing and structure of any separation and the expectation that the proposed separation will maximize stockholder value or be the best path for success. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about future events affecting Masimo and are subject to risks and uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Masimo's control and could cause its actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in its forward-looking statements as a result of various risk factors, including, but not limited to (i) uncertainties regarding future actions that may be taken by Politan in furtherance of its nomination of director candidates for election at the 2024 Annual Meeting, (ii) the potential cost and management distraction attendant to Politan's nomination of director nominees at the 2024 Annual Meeting and (iii) factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of Masimo's most recent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which may be obtained for free at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Although Masimo believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company does not know whether its expectations will prove correct. All forward-looking statements included in this communication are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of today's date. Masimo does not undertake any obligation to update, amend or clarify these statements or the "Risk Factors" contained in the Company's most recent reports filed with the SEC, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under the applicable securities laws.
