Stryker B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) organized under the laws of the Netherlands(“Purchaser”) and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker Corporation, a Michigan corporation (“Stryker”), is offering to purchase all of theoutstanding ordinary shares, par value €0.03 per share (the “Shares”), of Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company (naamlozevennootschap) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the trade register in the Netherlands under file number 34250781 (“Wright”), at apurchase price of $30.75 per Share, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, to the holders thereof, payable in cash (such amount or anyhigher amount per Share paid pursuant to the Offer (as defined below), the “Offer Consideration”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth inthis Offer to Purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with this Offer toPurchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer”).

The Offer is being made pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2019 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “PurchaseAgreement”), by and among Stryker, Purchaser and Wright. Unless the Offer is earlier terminated, the Offer will expire at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, onFebruary 27, 2020 (the “Expiration Time,” unless the Offer is extended in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, in which event “Expiration Time” willmean the latest time and date at which the Offer, as so extended by Purchaser, will expire).

Purchaser may extend the Offer to such other date and time as may be agreed in writing by Wright and Stryker, and will extend the Offer for the minimumperiod required by applicable law, rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or therules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). Purchaser will also extend the Offer on one or more occasions in consecutive periods of up to ten(10) business days each if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, any condition to the Offer has not been satisfied or waived, in order to permit satisfactionof such condition, or for periods of up to twenty (20) business days in case of the Regulatory Clearance Condition (as defined below) if such condition is notreasonably likely to be satisfied within such ten (10) business-day extension period. Purchaser may, but will not be required to, extend the Offer (a) on morethan two (2) occasions in consecutive periods of ten (10) business days each, if the only remaining unsatisfied condition to the Offer is the MinimumCondition (as defined below) and (b) to the business day immediately following the date that is one (1) month after the date of the EGM (as defined below)or subsequent EGM at which the Merger Resolutions (as defined below) are approved. Purchaser is not required to, and cannot without the consent ofWright, extend the Offer beyond November 4, 2020 (subject

Page 7: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

to automatic extension to February 4, 2021 if, at such earlier date, all conditions to the closing of the Offer have been satisfied or waived, other than theRegulatory Clearance Condition (as defined below) and the Minimum Condition (as defined below)).

The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Purchaser will (and Stryker will causePurchaser to), (a) at or as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time (but in any event within two (2) business days thereafter), accept forpayment (the time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”) and (b) at or as promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Time (but in anyevent within two (2) business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the“Exchange Act”)) thereafter), pay for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as of the Acceptance Time (such time ofpayment, the “Offer Closing”). It is expected that following the Offer Closing, the listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq will be terminated, Wright will nolonger be a publicly traded company and the Shares will be deregistered under the Exchange Act, resulting in the cessation of Wright’s reporting obligationswith respect to the Shares with the SEC.

After consideration, the board of directors (bestuur) of Wright (the “Wright Board”) has unanimously, among other things, (a) determined that theterms of the Purchase Agreement, the Offer, certain of the Post-Offer Reorganization transactions (including the Asset Sale, the Liquidation andSecond Step Distribution and the Mergers (each as defined below)) and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are in thebest interests of Wright, its businesses and its shareholders, employees and other relevant stakeholders, (b) approved and adopted the PurchaseAgreement and (c) resolved, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to recommend that Wright’sshareholders tender their Shares into the Offer and approve and adopt the matters to be proposed for consideration and approval by Wright’sshareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of Wright shareholders to be held prior to the Expiration Time in accordance with the terms ofthe Purchase Agreement (the “EGM”).

The Wright Board unanimously recommends that Wright shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares in the Offer.

At the EGM, Wright shareholders will be requested to vote on (a) (i) approval of the sale, transfer and assumption of the business of Wright, includingsubstantially all of the assets and liabilities of Wright, to or by Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) (the “Asset Sale”) subject to the Acceptance Timehaving occurred and the Reorganization Threshold (as defined below) having been achieved and (ii) subject to Asset Sale having been completed, theAcceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold (as defined below) having been achieved, (1) dissolve (ontbinden) Wright inaccordance with Section 2:19 of the Dutch Civil Code (the “DCC”) and (2) appoint as liquidator (the “Liquidator”) a foundation (stichting) to beincorporated under Dutch law and approve reimbursement of the Liquidator’s reasonable salary and costs (provided that such reimbursement will be subjectto the approval of certain members of the Wright Board who are independent from Purchaser and Stryker not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned ordelayed) and (3) appoint an affiliate of Purchaser as the custodian of the books and records of Wright in accordance with Section 2:24 of the DCC(collectively, the “Asset Sale Resolutions”), (b) approval of the Mergers (as defined below), subject to the Acceptance Time having occurred and theReorganization Threshold having been achieved, and certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association to determine the compensation to be paid toWright shareholders who vote against approval of the Mergers and who request compensation in connection with the First-Step Merger (as defined below)in accordance with Section 2:333h of the DCC (collectively, the “Merger Resolutions”), (c) approval of the statutory spin-off (afsplitsing) of certain assetsand liabilities of Wright to a wholly owned subsidiary of Wright (the “Demerger Resolutions”), subject to the Offer Closing, or earlier if so agreed byWright, Stryker and Purchaser, (d) certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association to become effective after the Offer Closing, including, if electedby Purchaser, the conversion of Wright from a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap or N.V.) to a private limited liability company(besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V.) under Dutch law, certain other amendments to become effective after the delisting of theShares on the Nasdaq and an amendment to align Wright’s financial year with that reckoned by Purchaser, (e) the appointment of directors designated byPurchaser to the Wright Board to replace certain current directors of Wright who will resign from the Wright Board effective as of the Offer Closing(together

Page 8: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

with clause (d) the “Governance Resolutions”), (f) the full and final discharge to each member of the Wright Board for their acts of management orsupervision, as applicable, up to the date of the EGM and effective upon the Acceptance Time and (g) other matters contemplated by the PurchaseAgreement.

Following the Acceptance Time, except as described below, Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to) provide for a subsequent offering period ofat least ten (10) business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement (the“Subsequent Offering Period”). In the event that prior to the expiration of any such Subsequent Offering Period, Purchaser or Stryker has publiclyannounced its intention to, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate the Asset Sale, Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to)extend the Subsequent Offering Period for at least five (5) business days to permit any remaining minority shareholders to tender their Shares in exchangefor the Offer Consideration (such extension, the “Minority Exit Offering Period”). In the event that promptly following the Expiration Time, Purchaser orStryker has publicly announced its intention to, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate the Mergers (as defined below), Purchaser willnot be required to provide either a Subsequent Offering Period or Minority Exit Offering Period, but may do so if Purchaser chooses. Under nocircumstance will interest be paid on the Offer Consideration paid pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer, any SubsequentOffering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) or any delay in making payment for Shares.

Following the later of the Offer Closing and the closing of any Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period),Stryker or Purchaser may, but is not required to, effectuate or cause to be effectuated a corporate reorganization of or involving Wright and its subsidiaries(the “Post-Offer Reorganization”). The Post-Offer Reorganization will utilize processes available to Purchaser under Dutch and other applicable law aimedat strengthening Stryker’s direct or indirect control over Wright or its assets and business operations. More specifically, the Asset Sale and Liquidation (asdefined below), the Mergers (as defined below) and the Compulsory Acquisition (as defined below) would ensure that Purchaser or one of its affiliatesbecomes the owner of all or substantially all of Wright’s business operations from and after the consummation of such Post-Offer Reorganization. In theevent the Asset Sale and Liquidation (as defined below), the Mergers (as defined below) or the Compulsory Acquisition (as defined below) areconsummated, Wright will either be liquidated, disappear or become wholly owned by Purchaser.

In the event that the Asset Sale and Liquidation (as defined below) is implemented, which is subject to (a) the approval of the Asset Sale Resolutions byWright shareholders at the EGM (or any subsequent EGM) and (b) the Acceptance Time having occurred and the number of Shares validly tenderedpursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn (including Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the MinorityExit Offering Period), together with the Shares owned by Stryker or its wholly owned subsidiaries, representing at least eighty percent (80%) of Wright’sissued and outstanding capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (the “Reorganization Threshold”), any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Sharespursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) will receive for eachShare held immediately prior to completion of the Asset Sale cash in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicablewithholding taxes. Upon consummation of the Asset Sale: (a) Wright will hold only the cash received in the Asset Sale and certain other immaterial assetsand liabilities; (b) Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) will (i) own all of Wright’s business operations and (ii) be the principal shareholder in Wright; and(c) the non-tendering Wright shareholders will continue to own Shares representing, in the aggregate, a minority of the Shares then outstanding. As soon aspracticable following consummation of the Asset Sale, the Liquidator would then complete the liquidation and dissolution of Wright (the “Liquidation”) inaccordance with applicable Dutch procedures, with Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) providing certain funds and indemnities to enable the Liquidatorto make an immediate advance liquidation distribution (the “Second Step Distribution”) to a settlement agent on behalf of each non-tendering Wrightshareholder of an amount in cash for each Share held immediately prior to the completion of the Asset Sale equal to the Offer Consideration, withoutinterest and less applicable withholding taxes, for each Share then owned by such non-tendering Wright shareholder. No compensation will be paid tonon-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costs charged by banks in relation to the transfer of the Second Step Distribution to their bankaccount or otherwise.

Table of Contents

In the event that the Mergers are implemented, which is subject to (a) the approval of the Merger Resolutions by Wright shareholders at the EGM (or anysubsequent EGM) and (b) the Acceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold having been achieved, Wright and Purchaser willcomplete a series of mergers whereby (i) Wright will merge with and into a Luxembourg société anonyme that is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary ofWright (“Wright Luxembourg”) with Wright Luxembourg surviving the merger (the “First-Step Merger”), (ii) Wright Luxembourg will merge with and intoa Bermuda exempted company that is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Wright Luxembourg (“Wright Bermuda”) with Wright Bermuda surviving themerger (the “Second-Step Merger”) and (iii) a Bermuda exempted company formed by Stryker as a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser will merge withand into Wright Bermuda with Wright Bermuda surviving the merger (the “Third-Step Merger” and, together with the First-Step Merger and the Second-Step Merger, the “Mergers”). Upon completion of the Mergers, any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer will nolonger have any equity interest in the surviving entities from such Mergers and will ultimately receive, for each Share held immediately prior to thecompletion of the First Step Merger, cash in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration. Such amount would be without interest and less applicablewithholding taxes. Stryker and Purchaser have no current intention to require the deduction and withholding of any amounts under any tax law, but such taxdeduction and withholding will take place to the extent required under applicable tax law. Upon completion of the Mergers, Wright will be an indirect,wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker. No compensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costs charged by banks inrelation to the transfer of the cash proceeds of the Third-Step Merger to their bank account or otherwise.

In the event that a compulsory acquisition procedure (uitkoopprocedure) of non-tendered Shares as provided by Dutch law (the “Compulsory Acquisition”)is permissible under applicable law and implemented, then Shares held by non-tendering Wright shareholders will be acquired in accordance withSection 2:92a or Section 2:201a of the DCC. In that circumstance, the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals(Gerechtshof Amsterdam) (the “Dutch Court”) will determine the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares. The Dutch Court has sole discretion todetermine such price, and the Dutch Court will select a reference date on which to value the Shares for purposes of determining such price (the “ReferenceDate”). If the Compulsory Acquisition is commenced shortly following the Offer Closing and at the Offer Closing the Purchaser and its affiliates holdninety-five percent (95%) of Wright’s issued and outstanding capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (the “Compulsory Acquisition Threshold”), it isexpected that the Reference Date will be the date of the Offer Closing and that the per Share price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition will be equal to theOffer Consideration. If Purchaser has not achieved the Compulsory Acquisition Threshold at the time of the Offer Closing but does so shortly afterwardsand then commences the Compulsory Acquisition, the Dutch Court will generally use as a Reference Date the earlier of (i) the date on which Purchaserdemonstrates it has achieved the Compulsory Acquisition Threshold and (ii) the date on which the Dutch Court renders an interim judgment preliminarilyallowing the claim for the Compulsory Acquisition. The Share price determined by the Dutch Court may be greater than, equal to or less than the OfferConsideration. Such price will be increased by statutory interest (“Dutch Statutory Interest”) accrued at the rate applicable in the Netherlands (currently twopercent (2%) per annum) from the Reference Date. The end of the period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest would be the date Purchaserpays for the Shares then owned by the non-tendering Wright shareholders (whether directly or through a payment made to the relevant governmentalauthority in the Netherlands). Upon execution (tenuitvoerlegging) of the Dutch Court’s ruling in the Compulsory Acquisition, each non-tendering Wrightshareholder will receive the per Share price determined by the Dutch Court and Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of Wright. If payment byPurchaser is made to the relevant governmental authority in the Netherlands, rather than directly to non-tendering Wright shareholders, such shareholdersmay only seek their consideration directly from such governmental authority in the Netherlands. Upon completion of the Compulsory Acquisition, Wrightwill be an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker. No compensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costscharged by banks in relation to the transfer of the cash proceeds of the Compulsory Acquisition to their bank account or otherwise.

The applicable withholding taxes and other taxes, if any, imposed on non-tendering Wright shareholders in respect of any Post-OfferReorganization may be different from, and greater than, the taxes imposed upon such Wright shareholders had they tendered their Sharespursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period).

Any Post-Offer Reorganization could be the subject of litigation,and a court could delay the Post-Offer Reorganization or prohibit it from occurring on the terms described in this Offer to Purchase, or from occurring at all.Moreover, even if Purchaser is able to effect any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization, the consideration that Wright shareholders receive therefrom may bedifferent than the consideration that they would have received had they tendered their Shares in the Offer (and they may also be subject to additional taxes).

The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (a) the Purchase Agreement not having been terminated pursuant to its terms and (b) the satisfaction orwaiver (to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement and applicable law) of the following as of the scheduled Expiration Time: (i) the MinimumCondition; (ii) the Regulatory Clearance Condition; (iii) the Legal Restraints Condition; (iv) the Governance Resolutions Condition; and (v) the MaterialAdverse Effect Condition, each as defined below.

The “Regulatory Clearance Condition” requires the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period (and extensions thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and certain other applicable regulatory or antitrust laws, and the receipt ofany relevant approvals, consents or waivers obtained pursuant to such laws, which, in each case, do not impose a condition or require a remedy that Strykeris not required to accept or agree to under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

The “Legal Restraints Condition” requires that there is no law, regulation, judgment, injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary orpermanent) entered, enacted, promulgated, enforced or issued by any court or other governmental body of competent jurisdiction in effect that prohibits,renders illegal or enjoins, the consummation of the Offer, the Asset Sale, the Compulsory Acquisition, the Liquidation, the Second Step Distribution, theMergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or that imposes a condition or requires a remedy that Stryker is not required toaccept or agree to under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

The “Governance Resolutions Condition” requires that, at the EGM or a subsequent EGM, Wright shareholders have adopted the Governance Resolutions.

The “Material Adverse Effect Condition” requires that no change, effect, event, inaccuracy, occurrence or other matter has occurred following the date ofthe Purchase Agreement that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Wright Material Adverse Effect (asdefined in the Purchase Agreement).

The Offer is not subject to a financing condition but is subject to other conditions as described in this Offer to Purchase. See Section 15—“CertainConditions of the Offer.”

shareholders to be held prior to the Expiration Time in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “EGM”).

The Wright Board unanimously recommends that Wright shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares in the Offer.

At the EGM, Wright shareholders will be requested to vote on (a) (i) approval of the sale, transfer and assumption of the business of Wright, includingsubstantially all of the assets and liabilities of Wright, to or by Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) (the “Asset Sale”) subject to the Acceptance Timehaving occurred and the Reorganization Threshold (as defined below) having been achieved and (ii) subject to Asset Sale having been completed, theAcceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold (as defined below) having been achieved, (1) dissolve (ontbinden) Wright inaccordance with Section 2:19 of the Dutch Civil Code (the “DCC”) and (2) appoint as liquidator (the “Liquidator”) a foundation (stichting) to beincorporated under Dutch law and approve reimbursement of the Liquidator’s reasonable salary and costs (provided that such reimbursement will be subjectto the approval of certain members of the Wright Board who are independent from Purchaser and Stryker not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned ordelayed) and (3) appoint an affiliate of Purchaser as the custodian of the books and records of Wright in accordance with Section 2:24 of the DCC(collectively, the “Asset Sale Resolutions”), (b) approval of the Mergers (as defined below), subject to the Acceptance Time having occurred and theReorganization Threshold having been achieved, and certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association to determine the compensation to be paid toWright shareholders who vote against approval of the Mergers and who request compensation in connection with the First-Step Merger (as defined below)in accordance with Section 2:333h of the DCC (collectively, the “Merger Resolutions”), (c) approval of the statutory spin-off (afsplitsing) of certain assetsand liabilities of Wright to a wholly owned subsidiary of Wright (the “Demerger Resolutions”), subject to the Offer Closing, or earlier if so agreed byWright, Stryker and Purchaser, (d) certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association to become effective after the Offer Closing, including theconversion of Wright from a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap or N.V.) to a private limited liability company (beslotenvennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V.) under Dutch law, certain other amendments to become effective after the delisting of the Shares onthe Nasdaq and an amendment to align Wright’s financial year with that reckoned by Purchaser, (e) the appointment of directors designated by Purchaser tothe Wright Board to replace certain current directors of Wright who will resign from the Wright Board effective as of the Offer Closing (together withclause (d) the “Governance Resolutions”), (f) the full and final discharge to each member of the Wright Board for their acts of management or supervision,as applicable, up to the date of the EGM and effective upon the Acceptance Time and (g) other matters contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

Will you have the financial resources to make payment?

Yes. We estimate that the total amount of funds required to purchase all outstanding Shares in the Offer and to consummate the other transactionscontemplated by the Purchase Agreement, to pay related transaction fees and expenses and to pay or refinance certain outstanding debt of Wright, includingits outstanding convertible notes, in connection with the consummation of the Offer and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement,will be approximately $5.4 billion. We anticipate funding such cash requirements from a combination of sources, including (a) available cash and cashequivalents of Stryker and its subsidiaries, (b) proceeds from the sale of debt securities and/or (c) bank or other debt financings. The consummation of theOffer and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is not subject to any financing condition.

See Section 9—“Source and Amount of Funds.”

Is your financial condition relevant to my decision to tender my Shares pursuant to the Offer?

No. We do not think our financial condition is relevant to your decision on whether to tender Shares and accept the Offer because:

• The Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares solely for cash.

• The Offer is not subject to any financing condition.

• If we consummate the Offer and not all outstanding Shares are tendered pursuant to the Offer or during any Subsequent Offering Period, as itmay be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period (each as defined below), while we or Stryker may elect to effectuate or cause to beeffectuated a Post-Offer Reorganization, we have no plans to offer any of our securities to effectuate the Post-Offer Reorganization. The stepswe may take to effectuate the Post-Offer Reorganization include (but are not limited to):

• subject to (a) the approval of the Asset Sale Resolutions by Wright shareholders at the EGM (or any subsequent EGM) and (b) theAcceptance Time having occurred and the number of Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn(including Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period),together with the Shares owned by Stryker or its wholly owned subsidiaries, representing at least eighty percent (80%) of Wright’sissued and outstanding capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (the “Reorganization Threshold”), acquiring all or substantially allassets and liabilities of Wright in the Asset Sale and, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Asset Sale, liquidatingand dissolving Wright (the “Liquidation”) in accordance with applicable Dutch procedures, such that an immediate advance liquidationdistribution (the “Second Step Distribution”) is made to a settlement agent on behalf of each non-tendering Wright shareholder of anamount in cash for each Share held immediately prior to the completion of the Asset Sale equal to the Offer Consideration, withoutinterest and less applicable withholding taxes, for each Share then owned by such non-tendering Wright shareholder;

• subject to (a) the approval of the Merger Resolutions by Wright shareholders at the EGM (or any subsequent EGM) and (b) theAcceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold having been achieved, complete a series of mergers whereby(i) Wright will merge with and into a Luxembourg société anonyme that is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Wright (“WrightLuxembourg”) with Wright Luxembourg surviving the merger (the “First-Step Merger”), (ii) Wright Luxembourg will merge with andinto a Bermuda exempted company that is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Wright Luxembourg (“Wright Bermuda”) with WrightBermuda surviving the merger (the “Second-Step Merger”) and (iii) a Bermuda exempted company formed by Stryker as a whollyowned subsidiary of Purchaser will merge with and into Wright Bermuda with Wright Bermuda surviving the merger (the “Third-StepMerger” and, together with the First-Step Merger and the Second-Step Merger, the “Mergers”), whereby any Wright shareholders whodid not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer will no longer have any equity interest in the surviving entities from such Mergers andwill ultimately receive, for each Share held immediately prior to the completion of the First Step Merger, cash in an amount equal to theOffer Consideration. Such amount would be without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Stryker and Purchaser have nocurrent intention to require the deduction and withholding of any amounts under any tax law, but such tax deduction and withholdingwill take place to the extent required under applicable tax law; and

• if permissible under applicable law, commencing a statutory proceeding before the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of theAmsterdam Court of Appeals (Gerechtshof Amsterdam) (the “Dutch Court”) for a compulsory acquisition (uitkoopprocedure) ofnon-tendered shares in accordance with Section 2:92a or Section 2:201a of the DCC (the “Compulsory Acquisition”), whereby theDutch Court will determine the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares. The Dutch Court has sole discretion to determine suchprice, and the Dutch Court will select a

iv

Table of Contents

reference date on which to value the Shares for purposes of determining such price (the “Reference Date”). If the CompulsoryAcquisition is commenced shortly following the Offer Closing and at the Offer Closing the Purchaser and its affiliates hold ninety-fivepercent (95%) of Wright’s issued and outstanding capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (the “Compulsory Acquisition Threshold”), itis expected that the Reference Date will be the date of the Offer Closing and that the per Share price paid in the CompulsoryAcquisition will be equal to the Offer Consideration. If Purchaser has not achieved the Compulsory Acquisition Threshold at the timeof the Offer Closing but does so shortly afterwards and then commences the Compulsory Acquisition, the Dutch Court will generallyuse as a Reference Date the earlier of (i) the date on which Purchaser demonstrates it has achieved the Compulsory AcquisitionThreshold and (ii) the date on which the Dutch Court renders an interim judgment preliminarily allowing the claim for the CompulsoryAcquisition. The Share price determined by the Dutch Court may be greater than, equal to or less than the Offer Consideration. Suchprice will be increased by statutory interest (“Dutch Statutory Interest”) accrued at the rate applicable in the Netherlands (currently twopercent (2%) per annum) from the Reference Date. The end of the period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest would bethe date Purchaser pays for the Shares then owned by the non-tendering Wright shareholders (whether directly or through a paymentmade to the relevant governmental authority in the Netherlands).

See Section 12—“Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Wright.”

How long do I have to decide whether to tender my Shares pursuant to the Offer?

You will have until 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on February 27, 2020, unless we extend the Offer in accordance with the Purchase Agreement or the Offer isearlier terminated.

The purpose ofthe Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) is to (a) offer to acquire outstanding Shares that were nottendered pursuant to the Offer and (b) allow non-tendering Wright shareholders, who may be subject to different and potentially adverse tax treatment(including withholding tax treatment) on the consideration received in respect of their Shares in connection with the Asset Sale and Liquidation (ascompared to the Offer), an additional opportunity to tender their Shares into the Offer and avoid such adverse tax treatment.

In the event that promptly following the Expiration Time, we or Stryker publicly announces its intention to effectuate the Mergers, we will not be requiredto provide either a Subsequent Offering Period or Minority Exit Offering Period, but may do so if we choose to.

See Section 1—“Terms of the Offer.”

What is the difference between an extension of the Offer and a Subsequent Offering Period?

A Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) is not an extension of the Offer. A Subsequent Offering Period(as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) occurs after we have accepted, and become obligated to pay for, all Shares that were validlytendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn by the Expiration Time. No withdrawal rights will apply to Shares tendered during anySubsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), and no withdrawal rights apply during any Subsequent OfferingPeriod (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) with respect to Shares tendered in the Offer and accepted for payment.

See Section 1—“Terms of the Offer.”

What are the most significant conditions to the Offer?

We expressly reserve the right at any time towaive, in whole or in part and in our sole discretion, any condition to the Offer and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer. However,we will not, and Stryker will cause us not to (without the prior written consent of Wright): (a) waive or change the Minimum Condition (except to the extentcontemplated under the Purchase Agreement); (b) decrease the Offer Consideration; (c) change the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer;(d) decrease the number of Shares sought in the Offer; (e) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Time (except to the extent contemplated under thePurchase Agreement); (f) impose additional conditions to the Offer or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the conditions to the Offer or terms ofthe Offer in a manner adverse to Wright shareholders; or (g) increase the Offer Consideration by an increment of less than $0.10 per Share.

See Section 15—“Certain Conditions of the Offer.”

What is the Minimum Condition?

The “Minimum Condition” requires that there have been validly tendered pursuant to the Offer, and not properly withdrawn, a number of Shares (excludingShares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee prior to theExpiration Time) that, together with the Shares then owned by Stryker or its wholly owned subsidiaries, represents at least ninety-five percent (95%) ofWright’s issued and outstanding share capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) immediately prior to the Expiration Time, provided that, Purchaser may, inits sole discretion, reduce the required threshold to a percentage not less than eighty percent (80%), provided, further, that if, prior to the Expiration Time,the Asset Sale Resolutions, the Merger Resolutions and the Demerger Resolutions are adopted at the EGM or any subsequent EGM, the required thresholdwill be reduced to eighty percent (80%).

The “Legal Restraints Condition” requires that there is no law, regulation judgment, injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary orpermanent) entered, enacted, promulgated, enforced or issued by any court or other governmental body of competent jurisdiction in effect that prohibits,renders illegal or enjoins, the consummation of the Offer, the Asset Sale, the Compulsory Acquisition, the Liquidation, the Second Step Distribution, theMergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or that imposes a condition or requires a remedy that Stryker is not required toaccept or agree to under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

If I decide not to tender, how will the Offer affect my Shares and what will happen to Wright?

After the Offer Closing, we intend to cause Wright to terminate the listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq (the “Delisting”). As a result, we anticipate that therewill not be an active trading market for the Shares. In addition, after the Offer Closing, we intend to cause Wright to terminate the registration of Sharesunder the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable and take steps to cause the suspension of its reporting obligations with respect to the Shares with theSEC. As a result, with respect to the Shares, Wright would no longer be required to make filings with the SEC or otherwise comply with the rules of theSEC. Furthermore, the ability of “affiliates” of Wright and persons holding “restricted securities” of Wright to dispose of such securities pursuant to Rule144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) may be impaired or eliminated.

In addition, after amendment of Wright’s articles of association following the Delisting, pursuant to the Governance Resolutions proposed to be approved atthe EGM, record ownership of Shares can only be transferred pursuant to a notarial deed executed before a Dutch notary. This will require compliance bythe transferor and transferee of Shares with various administrative formalities under Dutch law and will also require shareholders to incur costs for Dutchnotarial fees when they transfer Shares. Furthermore, after such amendment of Wright’s articles of association, any transfer of record ownership of Sharesprior to June 1, 2022 would require the prior approval of the Wright Board.

If the Asset Sale or the Mergers are consummated, it is anticipated that Wright shareholders who do not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (includingduring any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) will be offered or will receive the same considerationfor their Shares as those Wright shareholders who tendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it maybe extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. However, in the Compulsory Acquisition, theDutch Court will determine in its sole discretion the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares, which price may be greater than, equal to or less than theOffer Consideration. Such price will be increased by Dutch Statutory Interest. In the event the Asset Sale and Liquidation, the Mergers or the CompulsoryAcquisition are consummated, Wright will either be liquidated, disappear or become wholly owned by us.

The applicable withholding taxes and other taxes, if any, imposed on non-tendering Wright shareholders in respect of any Post-OfferReorganization may be different from, and greater than, the taxes imposed upon such Wright shareholders had they tendered their Sharespursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period).

In addition, if the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization are completed, another difference between tendering your Shares and not tendering your Sharespursuant to the Offer is that Holders of Shares tendered in the Offer may be paid in respect of such Shares sooner than holders of non-tendering Shares arepaid in respect of non-tendering Shares in any Post-Offer Reorganization.

It is possible that Purchaser may not be able to, or may elect not to, implement any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization after the consummation of theOffer, or that such Post-Offer Reorganization may be delayed or unable to be completed. Any Post-Offer Reorganization could be the subject of litigation,and a court could delay the Post-Offer Reorganization or prohibit it from occurring on the terms described in this Offer to Purchase, or from occurring at all.Moreover, even if Purchaser is able to effect any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization, the consideration that Wright shareholders receive therefrom may bedifferent than the consideration that they would have received had they tendered their Shares in the Offer (and they may also be subject to additional taxes).

See the “Introduction” to this Offer to Purchase, Section 11—“The Purchase Agreement; Other Agreements,” Section 12—“Purpose of the Offer; Plans forWright” and Section 13—“Certain Effects of the Offer.”

What is the market value of my Shares as of a recent date?

The Offer Consideration of $30.75 per Share represents a premium of approximately fifty-two percent (52%) over the volume-weighted average closingprice of Shares over the thirty (30) calendar days ended October 31,

x

Table of Contents

2019, the last trading day prior to speculation that Wright was exploring a sale of the company. On December 12, 2019, the last full trading day before thecommencement of the Offer, the reported closing price of the Shares on the Nasdaq was $29.44 per Share.

We advise you to obtain a recent quotation for Shares in deciding whether to tender your Shares in the Offer. See Section 6—“Price Range of Shares;Dividends.”

Will I have appraisal rights in connection with the Offer?

Wright shareholders are not entitled under Dutch law or otherwise to appraisal rights with respect to the Offer.

In the event that the Compulsory Acquisition is permissible under applicable law and implemented, the Dutch Court will determine in its sole discretion theprice to be paid for the non-tendered Shares, which price may be greater than, equal to or less than the Offer Consideration. Such price will be increased byDutch Statutory Interest accrued at the rate applicable in the Netherlands (currently two percent (2%) per annum). The non-tendering Wright shareholdersdo not have the right to commence a Compulsory Acquisition proceeding to oblige us to buy their Shares.

In the event the Merger Resolutions are adopted at the EGM or any subsequent EGM, any Wright shareholder that votes against the Merger Resolutionsmay exercise its withdrawal right under Dutch law in connection with the First-Step Merger (the “Merger Withdrawal Right”) by filing a request forcompensation in accordance with Section 2:333h of the DCC within one (1) month after the date of the EGM or subsequent EGM at which the MergerResolutions were adopted. If the Mergers are then implemented, such compensation would be paid in cash in connection with the consummation of theFirst-Step Merger. The Merger Resolutions include certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association that fix the cash compensation payable to anysuch Wright shareholders exercising the Merger Withdrawal Right at an amount per Share equal to the Offer Consideration without interest and lessapplicable withholding taxes.

See Section 17—“Appraisal Rights.”

What will happen to my equity awards in the Offer?

In connection with the Offer, outstanding Wright equity awards (other than certain equity awards that may be granted if the Offer Closing does not occur byJuly 1, 2020 and which will be subject to pro rata vesting at the Offer Closing) will be treated as follows:

• Each restricted stock unit in respect of Shares (a “Wright RSU”) and performance share unit in respect of Shares (a “Wright PSU”) that isoutstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, whether or not then subject to any performance or other condition, willvest in full at the Acceptance Time and at the Offer Closing will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash(without interest and subject to required tax withholding) equal to the product of (a) the Offer Consideration multiplied by (b) the total numberof Shares subject to such Wright PSU or Wright RSU as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing (which, in the case of Wright PSUs, will bedetermined based on the maximum achievement of the applicable performance conditions).

• Each outstanding option to purchase Shares, other than under the Wright Employee Stock Purchase Plan (a “Wright Stock Option”) that isoutstanding immediately prior to the Offer Closing will be automatically canceled and converted into a right to receive an amount in cash(without interest and subject to required tax withholding) equal to the product of (a) the number of Shares subject to the unexercised portion ofsuch Wright Stock Option immediately prior to the Offer Closing multiplied by (b) the excess, if any, of the Offer Consideration over theapplicable per Share exercise price of such Wright Stock Option.

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of tendering Shares for U.S. shareholders?

The receipt of cash in exchange for your Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by theMinority Exit Offering Period) or the Post-Offer Reorganization generally will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may alsobe a taxable transaction under applicable state, local or non-U.S. income or other tax laws.

We urge you to consult your own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to you of the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization.

The Offer is being made pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2019 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “PurchaseAgreement”), by and among Stryker, Purchaser and Wright. Unless the Offer is earlier terminated, the Offer will expire at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, onFebruary 27, 2020 (the “Expiration Time,” unless the Offer is extended in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, in which event “Expiration Time” willmean the latest time and date at which the Offer, as so extended by Purchaser, will expire).

Purchaser may extend the Offer to such other date and time as may be agreed in writing by Wright and Stryker, and will extend the Offer for the minimumperiod required by applicable law, rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or therules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”).

After consideration, the board of directors (bestuur) of Wright (the “Wright Board”) has unanimously, among other things, (a) determined that theterms of the Purchase Agreement, the Offer, certain of the Post-Offer Reorganization transactions (including the Asset Sale, the Liquidation andSecond Step Distribution and the Mergers (each as defined below)) and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are in thebest interests of Wright, its businesses and its shareholders, employees and other relevant stakeholders, (b) approved and adopted the PurchaseAgreement and (c) resolved, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to recommend that Wright’sshareholders tender their Shares into the Offer and approve and adopt the matters to be proposed for consideration and approval by Wright’sshareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of Wright shareholders to be held prior to the Expiration Time in accordance with the terms ofthe Purchase Agreement (the “EGM”).

The Wright Board unanimously recommends that Wright shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares in the Offer.

At the EGM, Wright shareholders will be requested to vote on (a) (i) approval of the sale, transfer and assumption of the business of Wright, includingsubstantially all of the assets and liabilities of Wright, to or by Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) (the “Asset Sale”) subject to the Acceptance Timehaving occurred and the Reorganization Threshold (as defined below) having been achieved and (ii) subject to Asset Sale having been completed, theAcceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold (as defined below) having been achieved, (1) dissolve (ontbinden) Wright inaccordance with Section 2:19 of the Dutch Civil Code (the “DCC”) and (2) appoint as liquidator (the “Liquidator”) a foundation (stichting) to beincorporated under Dutch law and approve reimbursement of the Liquidator’s reasonable salary and costs (provided that such reimbursement will be subjectto the approval of certain members of the Wright Board who are independent from Purchaser and Stryker not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned ordelayed) and (3) appoint an affiliate of Purchaser as the custodian of the books and records of Wright in accordance with Section 2:24 of the DCC(collectively, the “Asset Sale Resolutions”), (b) approval of the Mergers (as defined below), subject to the Acceptance Time having occurred and theReorganization Threshold having been achieved, and certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association to determine the compensation to be paid toWright shareholders who vote against approval of the Mergers and who request compensation in connection with the First-Step Merger (as defined below)in accordance with Section 2:333h of the DCC (collectively, the “Merger Resolutions”), (c) approval of the statutory spin-off (afsplitsing) of certain assetsand liabilities of Wright to a wholly owned subsidiary of Wright (the “Demerger Resolutions”), subject to the Offer Closing, or earlier if so agreed byWright, Stryker and Purchaser, (d) approval of the Governance Resolutions, (e) the full and final discharge to each member of the Wright Board for theiracts of management or supervision, as applicable, up to the date of the EGM and effective upon the Acceptance Time and (f) other matters contemplated bythe Purchase Agreement.

A more complete description of the reasons that the Wright Board approved the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, includingthe Offer, the Asset Sale and the Mergers, and recommended that Wright shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer is setforth in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on the Schedule 14D-9 that Wright is furnishing to its shareholders in connection with the Offer (the“Schedule 14D-9”).

Following the Acceptance Time, except as described below, Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to) provide for a subsequent offering period ofat least ten (10) business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement (the“Subsequent Offering Period”). In the event that prior to the expiration of any such Subsequent Offering Period, Purchaser or Stryker has publiclyannounced its intention to, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate the Asset Sale, Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to)extend the Subsequent Offering Period for at least five (5) business days to permit any remaining minority Wright shareholders to tender their Shares inexchange for the Offer Consideration (such extension, the “Minority Exit Offering Period”). In the event that promptly

Table of Contents

following the Expiration Time, Purchaser or Stryker has publicly announced its intention to, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate theMergers (as defined below), Purchaser will not be required to provide either a Subsequent Offering Period or Minority Exit Offering Period, but may do soif Purchaser chooses. Under no circumstance will interest be paid on the Offer Consideration paid pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any extensionof the Offer, any Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) or any delay in making payment forShares.

Following the later of the Offer Closing and the closing of any Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period),Stryker or Purchaser may, but is not required to, effectuate or cause to be effectuated a corporate reorganization of or involving Wright and its subsidiaries(the “Post-Offer Reorganization”). The Post-Offer Reorganization will utilize processes available to Purchaser under Dutch and other applicable law aimedat strengthening Stryker’s direct or indirect control over Wright or its assets and business operations. More specifically, the Asset Sale and Liquidation (asdefined below), the Mergers (as defined below) and the Compulsory Acquisition (as defined below) would ensure that Purchaser or one of its affiliatesbecomes the owner of all or substantially all of Wright’s business operations from and after the consummation of such Post-Offer Reorganization. In theevent the Asset Sale and Liquidation (as defined below), the Mergers (as defined below) or the Compulsory Acquisition (as defined below) areconsummated, Wright will either be liquidated, disappear or become wholly owned by Purchaser.

In the event that the Asset Sale and Liquidation (as defined below) is implemented, which is subject to (a) the approval of the Asset Sale Resolutions byWright shareholders at the EGM (or any subsequent EGM) and (b) the Acceptance Time having occurred and the number of Shares validly tenderedpursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn (including Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the MinorityExit Offering Period), together with the Shares owned by Stryker or its wholly owned subsidiaries, representing at least eighty percent (80%) of Wright’sissued and outstanding capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (the “Reorganization Threshold”), any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Sharespursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) will receive for eachShare held immediately prior to completion of the Asset Sale cash in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicablewithholding taxes. Upon consummation of the Asset Sale: (a) Wright will hold only the cash received in the Asset Sale and certain other immaterial assetsand liabilities; (b) Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) would (i) own all of Wright’s business operations and (ii) be the principal shareholder in Wright;and (c) the non-tendering Wright shareholders would continue to own Shares representing, in the aggregate, a minority of the Shares then outstanding. Assoon as practicable following consummation of the Asset Sale, the Liquidator would then complete the liquidation and dissolution of Wright (the“Liquidation”) in accordance with applicable Dutch procedures, with Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) providing certain funds and indemnities toenable the Liquidator to make an immediate advance liquidation distribution (the “Second Step Distribution”) to a settlement agent on behalf of eachnon-tendering Wright shareholder of an amount in cash for each Share held immediately prior to the completion of the Asset Sale equal to the OfferConsideration, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, for each Share then owned by such non-tendering Wright shareholder. Nocompensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costs charged by banks in relation to the transfer of the Second StepDistribution to their bank account or otherwise.

In the event that the Mergers are implemented, which is subject to (a) the approval of the Merger Resolutions by Wright shareholders at the EGM (or anysubsequent EGM) and (b) the Acceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold having been achieved, Wright and Purchaser willcomplete a series of mergers whereby (i) Wright will merge with and into a Luxembourg société anonyme that is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary ofWright (“Wright Luxembourg”) with Wright Luxembourg surviving the merger (the “First-Step Merger”), (ii) Wright Luxembourg will merge with and intoa Bermuda exempted company that is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Wright Luxembourg (“Wright Bermuda”) with Wright Bermuda surviving themerger (the “Second-Step Merger”) and (iii) a Bermuda exempted company formed by Stryker as a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser will merge withand into Wright Bermuda with Wright Bermuda surviving the

Table of Contents

merger (the “Third-Step Merger” and, together with the First-Step Merger and the Second-Step Merger, the “Mergers”). Upon completion of the Mergers,any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer will no longer have any equity interest in the surviving entities from suchMergers and will ultimately receive, for each Share held immediately prior to the completion of the First Step Merger, cash in an amount equal to the OfferConsideration. Such amount would be without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Stryker and Purchaser have no current intention to require thededuction and withholding of any amounts under any tax law, but such tax deduction and withholding will take place to the extent required under applicabletax law. Upon completion of the Mergers, Wright will be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker. No compensation will be paid to non-tenderingWright shareholders for any administrative costs charged by banks in relation to the transfer of the cash proceeds of the Third-Step Merger to their bankaccount or otherwise.

In the event that a compulsory acquisition procedure (uitkoopprocedure) of non-tendered Shares as provided by Dutch law (the “Compulsory Acquisition”)is permissible under applicable law and implemented, then Shares held by non-tendering Wright shareholders will be acquired in accordance withSection 2:92a or Section 2:201a of the DCC. In that circumstance, the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal(Gerechtshof Amsterdam) (the “Dutch Court”) will determine the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares. The Dutch Court has sole discretion todetermine such price, and the Dutch Court will select a reference date on which to value the Shares for purposes of determining such price (the “ReferenceDate”). If the Compulsory Acquisition is commenced shortly following the Offer Closing and at the Offer Closing the Purchaser and its affiliates holdninety-five percent (95%) of Wright’s issued and outstanding capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (the “Compulsory Acquisition Threshold”), it isexpected that the Reference Date will be the date of the Offer Closing and that the per Share price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition will be equal to theOffer Consideration. If Purchaser has not achieved the Compulsory Acquisition Threshold at the time of the Offer Closing but does so shortly afterwardsand then commences the Compulsory Acquisition, the Dutch Court will generally use as a Reference Date the earlier of (i) the date on which Purchaserdemonstrates it has achieved the Compulsory Acquisition Threshold and (ii) the date on which the Dutch Court renders an interim judgment preliminarilyallowing the claim for the Compulsory Acquisition. The Share price determined by the Dutch Court may be greater than, equal to or less than the OfferConsideration. Such price will be increased by statutory interest (“Dutch Statutory Interest”) accrued at the rate applicable in the Netherlands (currently twopercent (2%) per annum) from the Reference Date. The end of the period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest would be the date Purchaserpays for the Shares then owned by the non-tendering Wright shareholders (whether directly or through a payment made to the relevant governmentalauthority in the Netherlands). Upon execution (tenuitvoerlegging) of the Dutch Court’s ruling in the Compulsory Acquisition, each non-tendering Wrightshareholder will receive the per Share price determined by the Dutch Court and Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of Wright. If payment byPurchaser is made to the relevant governmental authority in the Netherlands, rather than directly to non-tendering Wright shareholders, such shareholdersmay only seek their consideration directly from such governmental authority in the Netherlands. Upon completion of the Compulsory Acquisition, Wrightwill be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker. No compensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costscharged by banks in relation to the transfer of the cash proceeds of the Compulsory Acquisition to their bank account or otherwise.

It is possible that Purchaser may not be able to, or may elect not to, implement any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization after the consummation of theOffer, or that such Post-Offer Reorganization may be delayed or unable to be completed. Any Post-Offer Reorganization could be the subject of litigation,and a court could delay the Post-Offer Reorganization or prohibit it from occurring on the terms described in this Offer to Purchase, or from occurring at all.Moreover, even if Purchaser is able to effect any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization, the consideration that Wright shareholders receive therefrom may bedifferent than the consideration that they would have received had they tendered their Shares in the Offer (and they may also be subject to additional taxes).

Certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale of Shares pursuant to the Offer and pursuant to the Post-Offer Reorganization aredescribed in Section 5A—“Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” The applicable withholding taxes and other taxes, if any, imposed onnon-tendering Wright shareholders

in respect of any Post-Offer Reorganization may be different from, and greater than, the taxes imposed upon such Wright shareholders had theytendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority ExitOffering Period). Shareholders are urged to consult with their tax advisors with regard to the tax consequences of tendering their shares pursuantto the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization.

This Offer to Purchase does not constitute a solicitation of proxies, and Purchaser is not soliciting proxies in connection with the Offer. Proxies will besolicited by Wright from its shareholders in connection with the EGM, and you should consult and read carefully any proxy statement or other materialsprovided to you by Wright in connection with the EGM.

Subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, Purchaser expressly reserves the right at any time to waive, in whole or in part and in Purchaser’ssole discretion, any condition to the Offer and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer. However, Purchaser will not, and Stryker willcause Purchaser not to (without the prior written consent of Wright): (a) waive or change the Minimum Condition (except to the extent contemplated underthe Purchase Agreement); (b) decrease the Offer Consideration; (c) change the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer; (d) decrease the number ofShares sought in the Offer; (e) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Time (except to the extent contemplated under the Purchase Agreement); (f)impose additional conditions to the Offer or otherwise amend, modify, or supplement any of the conditions to the Offer or terms of the Offer in a manneradverse to Wright shareholders; or (g) increase the Offer Consideration by an increment of less than $0.10 per Share.

Any extension of the Offer will be followed by a public announcement of the extension no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the next business day afterthe day on which the Offer was otherwise scheduled to expire, which notice will also include the approximate number and percentage of Shares validlytendered and not properly withdrawn as of such date. Without limiting the manner in which Purchaser may choose to make any public announcement, itcurrently intends to make announcements regarding the Offer by issuing a press release and making an appropriate filing with the SEC.

If Purchaser extends the Offer, is delayed in its acceptance for payment of or payment (whether before or after its acceptance for payment for Shares) forShares, or is unable to accept Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to its rights under the Offer and the PurchaseAgreement, the Depositary may retain tendered Shares on Purchaser’s behalf, and such Shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent that tenderingshareholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in this Offer to Purchase under Section 4—“Withdrawal Rights.” However, Purchaser’s ability todelay the payment for Shares that it has accepted for payment is limited by Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which requires Purchaser to promptlypay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or on behalf of shareholders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer.

If, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser makes a material change in the terms of the Offer or the information concerning the Offer, orif Purchaser waives a material condition of the Offer, Purchaser will disseminate additional tender offer materials and extend the Offer if and to the extentrequired by Rules 14d-4(d)(1), 14d-6(c), and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act. The minimum period during which an offer must remain open followingmaterial changes in the terms of the Offer or information concerning the Offer, other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought,will depend upon the facts and circumstances, including the relative materiality of the terms or information changes. Purchaser understands that in theSEC’s view, an offer should remain open for a minimum of five (5) business days from the date the material change is first published, sent, or given toshareholders, and with respect to a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought, a minimum ten (10) business-day period generally isrequired to allow for adequate dissemination to shareholders and investor response.

If, on or before the Expiration Time, Purchaser increases the consideration being paid for Shares accepted for payment in the Offer, such increasedconsideration will be paid to all shareholders whose Shares are purchased in the Offer, whether or not such Shares were tendered before the announcementof the increase in consideration.

Following the Acceptance Time, except as described below, Purchaser will provide for a Subsequent Offering Period of at least ten (10) business days inaccordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. In the event that prior to the expiration of any suchSubsequent Offering Period, Purchaser or Stryker publicly announces its intention to effectuate the Asset Sale, Purchaser will extend the SubsequentOffering Period for the Minority Exit Offering Period of at least five (5) business days to permit any remaining minority Wright shareholders to tender theirShares in exchange for the Offer Consideration. For purposes of the Offer, a “business day” means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday or other day onwhich commercial banks in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, or New York, New York, United States, are

authorized or required by applicable law to close. In the event that promptly following the Expiration Time, Purchaser or Stryker has publicly announced itsintention to, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate the Mergers (as defined below), we will not be required to provide either aSubsequent Offering Period or Minority Exit Offering Period, but may do so if Purchaser chooses. The Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extendedby the Minority Exit Offering Period) is not an extension of the Offer. The Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit OfferingPeriod) would be an additional period of time after the Acceptance Time, in which shareholders may tender Shares not previously tendered pursuant to theOffer. Purchaser will announce additional details with respect to the Subsequent Offering Period (including any extension thereof) in accordance withapplicable rules, regulations and interpretations of the SEC. In particular, Purchaser will announce the results of the tender offer, including the approximatenumber and percentage of securities deposited to date, no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the next business day after the day on which the Offer wasotherwise scheduled to expire and immediately begin the Subsequent Offering Period. There will be no withdrawal rights during any Subsequent OfferingPeriod (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period); any Shares tendered will immediately be accepted by Purchaser and promptly paid for.Any shares tendered during any Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) will be acquired by Purchaser foran amount equal to the Offer Consideration, in cash, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Under no circumstance will interest be paidon the Offer Consideration paid pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer, any Subsequent Offering Period (as it may beextended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) or any delay in making payment for Shares.

Following the later of the Offer Closing and the closing of any Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period),Stryker or Purchaser may, but is not required to, effectuate or cause to be effectuated the Post-Offer Reorganization. The Post-Offer Reorganization willutilize processes available to Purchaser under Dutch and other applicable law aimed at strengthening Stryker’s direct or indirect control over Wright or itsassets and business operations. More specifically, the Asset Sale and Liquidation, the Mergers and the Compulsory Acquisition would ensure that Purchaseror one of its affiliates becomes the owner of all or substantially all of Wright’s business operations from and after the consummation of such Post-OfferReorganization. In the event the Asset Sale and Liquidation (as defined below), the Mergers or the Compulsory Acquisition are consummated, Wright willeither be liquidated, disappear or become wholly owned by Purchaser.

Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the applicable rules andregulations of the SEC, not to accept for payment any Shares if, at the Expiration Time, any of the conditions to the Offer have not been satisfied. SeeSection 15—“Certain Conditions of the Offer.” Under certain circumstances, Stryker may terminate the Purchase Agreement and Purchaser may terminatethe Offer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Purchase Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to its terms, Purchaser will (andStryker will cause Purchaser to) promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours following such termination), terminate the Offer and not acquireany Shares pursuant to the Offer.

Wright has provided Stryker and Purchaser with the Wright shareholder list and security position listings for the purpose of disseminating this Offer toPurchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and other related materials to Wright shareholders. This Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, togetherwith the Schedule 14D-9, will be mailed to record holders of Shares whose names appear on the Wright shareholder list and will be furnished, forsubsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of Shares, to brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees whose names, or thenames of whose nominees, appear on the Wright shareholder list or, if applicable, who are listed as participants in a clearing agency’s security positionlisting for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of Shares.

the Offer,” we will (and Stryker will cause us to), (a) at or as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time (but in any event within two(2) business days thereafter), accept for payment and (b) at or as promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Time (but in any event within two(2) business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) thereafter), pay for all Shares validly tendered and notproperly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as of the Acceptance Time.

representation and warranty that such shareholder has the full power and authority to tender and transfer the Shares tendered, as specified in the Letter ofTransmittal, and that when Purchaser accepts the Shares for payment, it will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title, free and clear of all liens,restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims.

Purchaser also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender ofany Shares of any particular shareholder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other shareholders. No tender of Shareswill be deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been waived or cured within such time as Purchaser may determine.

All such powers of attorney and proxies will be considered irrevocable andcoupled with an interest in the tendered Shares.

5. Certain Material Tax Consequences.

5A. U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization to U.S. Holders (as definedbelow) of Wright whose Shares are tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer or whose Shares are not tendered but who receive cash in thePost-Offer Reorganization. The summary is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), existing, proposedand temporary regulations thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactiveeffect. Any such changes could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth in this discussion. Purchaser has not sought, and does notcurrently intend to seek, any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and noassurance can be given that the IRS will agree with the views expressed herein, or that a court will not sustain any challenge by the IRS in the event oflitigation.

14

Table of Contents

The summary applies only to U.S. Holders who hold their Shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. The summary is not acomplete description of all of the tax consequences of the Offer or the Post-Offer Reorganization and in particular, does not address many of the taxconsiderations that may be relevant to a holder of Shares in light of such holder’s particular circumstances or that may be applicable to holders of Sharesthat may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation: small business investment companies; banks, certain financial institutions or insurancecompanies; real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies or grantor trusts; dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;persons that mark their securities to market; cooperatives; tax-exempt entities; retirement plans; certain former citizens or long-term residents of the UnitedStates; persons that received Shares as compensation for the performance of services; persons that hold Shares as part of a “hedging,” “integrated” or“conversion” transaction or as a position in a “straddle” for U.S. federal income tax purposes; partnerships (including entities classified as partnerships forU.S. federal income tax purposes) or other pass-through entities, or holders that hold Shares through such an entity; S-corporations; persons whosefunctional currency is not the U.S. dollar; persons that own directly, indirectly, or through attribution ten percent (10%) or more of the voting power orvalue of the outstanding Shares; persons holding Shares in connection with a trade or business conducted outside the United States; controlled foreigncorporations within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code; or passive foreign investment companies within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code(each, a “PFIC”). Moreover, this summary does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift, unearned income Medicare contribution, alternative minimum taxand any other applicable non-income tax laws, or any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws.

For purposes of this summary, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (a) an individualwho is a citizen or resident of the United States; (b) a corporation, or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created ororganized under the laws of the United States, or of any state or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federalincome tax regardless of its source; or (d) a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administrationand one or more U.S. persons, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, have authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions or(ii) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.This discussion does not address the tax consequences to persons who are not U.S. Holders.

If a partnership, or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds Shares, the tax treatment of a persontreated as a partner in such partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the partnership’s activities. Accordingly, partnerships orother entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes that hold Shares, and persons treated as partners in such entities, are urged toconsult their tax advisors regarding the specific U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization.

WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE OFFER AND THEPOST-OFFER REORGANIZATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME,AND OTHER TAX LAWS IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

The Receipt of Cash in Exchange for Shares Pursuant to the Offer.

The exchange of Shares by U.S. Holders for cash pursuant to the Offer will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a U.S.Holder who exchanges Shares for cash pursuant to the Offer will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to thedifference, if any, between the amount of cash received (determined before the deduction, if any, of any withholding tax) in exchange for Shares pursuant tothe Offer and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Shares. Any such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if a U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod for such Shares is more than one year. Long-term capital gain recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, is generallysubject to

15

Page 41: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

U.S. federal income tax at preferential rates. The deductibility of a capital loss recognized pursuant to the Offer is subject to certain limitations. If a U.S.Holder acquired different blocks of Shares at different times or different prices, such U.S. Holder must determine its adjusted tax basis and holding periodseparately with respect to each block of Shares.

The foregoing assumes that Wright is not currently, and has not been a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, the test for determiningwhether Wright is or has been a PFIC is applied annually and is based upon the composition of Wright’s and certain of its affiliates’ income and assets forsuch taxable year. If Wright were a PFIC in the current taxable year or in any prior taxable year in which the tendering U.S. Holder has held the Shares, thensuch U.S. Holder generally would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to gain recognized on any sale or exchange ofsuch Shares, including an exchange of such Shares pursuant to the Offer, unless such U.S. Holder has in effect certain elections, such as the mark-to-marketelection. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning whether Wright is or has been a PFIC for any given taxable year during which suchU.S. Holder has owned Shares and the tax consequences of tendering Shares pursuant to the Offer.

Receipt of Cash in Exchange for Shares Pursuant to the Post-Offer Reorganization.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Post-Offer Reorganization will depend on the exact manner in which it is carried out. However, if a U.S.Holder receives cash for Shares in the Compulsory Acquisition, the Second Step Distribution or the Mergers, the U.S. federal income tax consequences tosuch U.S. Holder would generally be the same as described above.

Foreign Tax Credit. A U.S. Holder may be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax (dividendbelasting), as further described in Section 5B—“CertainDutch Tax Aspects of the Asset Sale and Liquidation.” Gain or loss, if any, recognized by a U.S. Holder as a result of the cash received for Shares pursuantto the Offer or the Post-Offer Reorganization will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss, as the case may be. Consequently, you may not be able touse the foreign tax credit arising from the Dutch dividend withholding tax (dividendbelasting) on the exchange of the Shares unless such credit can beapplied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. Alternatively, you may take a deductionfor any Dutch dividend withholding tax (dividendbelasting) imposed if you do not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for any foreign taxes paid during thetaxable year. The calculation of deductions and U.S. foreign tax credits involves the application of complex rules and limitations may apply. Each U.S.Holder should consult its own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of exchanging Shares pursuant to the Post-Offer Reorganization.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.

A U.S. Holder who exchanges Shares pursuant to the Offer or the Post-Offer Reorganization is subject to information reporting and may be subject tobackup withholding unless certain information is provided to the Depositary or an exemption applies. See Section 3—“Procedures for Accepting the Offerand Tendering Shares.”

5B. Certain Dutch Tax Consequences.

The following is a summary of certain material Dutch tax consequences of the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization for the shareholders of Wrightwhose Shares are tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer or whose Shares are not tendered but who receive cash in the Post-OfferReorganization. It does not address tax consequences applicable to holders of Wright Stock Options, Wright RSUs or Wright PSUs (each as defined below).The summary is for general information only and does not consider all possible tax considerations or consequences that may be relevant to all categories ofinvestors, some of which may be subject to special treatment under applicable law (such as trusts or other similar arrangements). Shareholders are expresslyurged to consult with their tax advisors with regard to the tax consequences of tendering their Shares pursuant to the Offer and the Post-OfferReorganization.

Please note that this summary does not describe the tax considerations for:

(a) Wright shareholders, if such shareholders, or in the case of individuals, his/her partner, certain other relatives or certain persons sharinghis/her household, alone or together, directly or indirectly have a substantial interest (aanmerkelijk belang) or deemed substantial interest(fictief aanmerkelijk belang) in Wright under the Dutch Personal Income Tax Act 2001 (Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001) or the Dutch CorporateIncome Tax Act 1969 (Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969). In general, a substantial interest in Wright is considered present if theshareholder, or in the case of individuals, his/her partner, certain other relatives or certain persons sharing his/her household, alone or together,directly or indirectly holds shares representing five percent (5%) or more of the total issued and outstanding capital (or the issued andoutstanding capital of any class of shares) of Wright and/or is entitled to five percent (5%) of Wright’s annual profit, and/or five percent (5%)of the proceeds upon liquidation of Wright. A deemed substantial interest arises if a substantial interest (or part thereof) has been disposed of,or is deemed to have been disposed of, on a non-recognition basis.

(b) Wright shareholders that are corporate legal entities that derive benefits from the Shares that are exempt under the participation exemptionregime (deelnemingsvrijstelling) or that qualify for participation credit (deelnemingsverrekening) as laid down in the Dutch Corporate IncomeTax Act 1969 or would have been exempt under the participation exemption regime if such shareholder were a taxpayer in the Netherlands. Ingeneral, an interest of five percent (5%) or more in the nominal paid-up share capital of Wright should either qualify for the participationexemption regime or the participation credit regime. A shareholder may also have a qualifying participation if such Wright shareholder doesnot have a five percent (5%) interest but a related entity (a statutorily defined term) does, or if Wright is a related entity (a statutorily definedterm) of the Wright shareholder.

(c) Wright shareholders who are individuals and for whom the Shares or any benefit derived from the Shares are attributable to a membership of a

management board or a supervisory board, an employment relationship or a deemed employment relationship, the income from which istaxable in the Netherlands.

(d) Pension funds, investment institutions (fiscale beleggingsinstellingen), exempt investment institutions (vrijgestelde beleggingsinstellingen)and other entities that are not subject to or are exempt (in full or in part) from corporate income tax in the Netherlands or any other state.

(e) Wright shareholders who or that are not considered the beneficial owner (uiteindelijk gerechtigde) of these Shares or the benefits derived fromor realized in respect of these Shares.

This summary only addresses the Dutch national tax legislation and published regulations, as in effect on the date of this Offer to Purchase and asinterpreted in published case law until this date, without prejudice to any amendment introduced at a later date and implemented with or without retroactiveeffect.

Where this summary refers to the Netherlands, such reference is restricted to the part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands that is situated in Europe and thelegislation applicable in that part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Certain Dutch Tax Consequences of the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization.

Dutch dividend withholding tax.

No Dutch dividend withholding tax (dividendbelasting) is due upon a disposal of the Shares pursuant to the Offer.

Dutch Resident Individual Shareholders.

An individual shareholder who is resident or deemed to be resident in the Netherlands for Dutch tax purposes will be subject to Dutch personal income tax(inkomstenbelasting) on any gains realized (i.e., the difference, if

17

Page 43: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

any, between the amount of cash received and the tax book value) in respect of the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, or as a result of the CompulsoryAcquisition, the Asset Sale and Liquidation or the Mergers at progressive rates up to a maximum of fifty-two percent (52%) if:

(a) the Shares are attributable to an enterprise from which the individual derives a share of the profit, whether as an entrepreneur (ondernemer) or

as a person who has a co-entitlement to the net worth (medegerechtigd tot het vermogen) of such enterprise, without being an entrepreneur ora shareholder as defined in the Dutch Personal Income Tax Act 2001; or

(b) such income or capital gains qualify as income from miscellaneous activities (resultaat uit overige werkzaamheden), which includes activitieswith respect to the Shares that exceed regular, active portfolio management (normaal, actief vermogensbeheer).

If the above mentioned conditions (a) and (b) do not apply to an individual shareholder, the Shares held by such individual shareholder will be taxed underthe regime for savings and investments (inkomen uit sparen en beleggen). Irrespective of the actual income or capital gains realized in respect of the Sharestendered pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offer Period) or pursuant to the Post-Offer Reorganization, the annual taxable benefit of theassets and liabilities of a Dutch Individual that are taxed under this regime, including the Shares, is set at a percentage of the positive balance of the fairmarket value of these assets, including the Shares, and the fair market value of these liabilities. For 2019, the percentage increases (the expected rates andamounts for 2020, which are subject to approval by the Dutch Senate, have been placed between brackets):

(a) from 1.94% (1.8% for 2020) of this positive balance up to €71,650 (€72,797 for 2020);

(b) to 4.45% (4.22% for 2020) of this positive balance of €71,651 (€72,798 for 2020) up to €989,736 (€1,005,572 for 2020); and

(c) to a maximum of 5.60% (5.33% for 2020) of this positive balance of €989.737 (€1,005.573 for 2020) or higher.

These percentages will be reassessed every year. No taxation occurs if this positive balance does not exceed a certain threshold (heffingvrij vermogen). Thefair market value of assets, including the Shares, and liabilities that are taxed under this regime is measured, in general, exclusively on January 1st of everycalendar year. The tax rate under the regime for savings and investments is a flat rate of thirty percent (30%). The actual benefits derived (including profitdistributions and capital gains) are not as such subject to Dutch personal income tax.

Dutch Resident Corporate Shareholders.

A shareholder that is an entity (including an association, partnership and mutual fund, in each case to the extent taxable as a corporate entity) and who isresident or deemed to be resident in the Netherlands for Dutch corporate income tax purposes will generally be subject to Dutch corporate income tax onany gains realized in respect of the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer or as a result of the Compulsory Acquisition, the Asset Sale and Liquidation or theMergers, up to a maximum rate of twenty-five percent (25%).

Non-Dutch Resident Shareholders.

A shareholder that is not a resident or deemed to be a resident of the Netherlands will not be subject to Dutch corporate income tax or personal income taxon any gains realized as a result of the tendering of Shares pursuant to the Offer, as a result of the Compulsory Acquisition, the Asset Sale and Liquidationor the Mergers, provided that:

(a) in the case of a non-Dutch resident shareholder that is not an individual, such shareholder (i) does not derive profits from an enterprise that is,

in whole or in part, carried on through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in the Netherlands to which permanentestablishment or

18

Page 44: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

permanent representative the Shares are attributable or (ii) is not, other than by way of securities, entitled to a share in the profits of anenterprise or a co-entitlement to the net worth of an enterprise, which is effectively managed in the Netherlands and to which enterprise theShares are attributable; or

(b) in the case of a non-Dutch resident shareholder that is an individual, such shareholder (i) does not derive profits from an enterprise or aninterest in an enterprise that is, in whole or in part, carried on through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in theNetherlands to which permanent establishment or permanent representative the Shares are attributable, (ii) does not realize income or gainswith respect to the Shares that qualify as income from miscellaneous activities in the Netherlands, which include activities with respect to theShares that exceed regular, active portfolio management or (iii) is not, other than by way of securities, entitled to a share in the profits of anenterprise that is effectively managed in the Netherlands and to which enterprise the Shares are attributable.

In the case of a non-Dutch resident shareholder that is taxable in the Netherlands, such shareholder will generally be taxed in the same way as comparableDutch resident taxpayers, as described above.

Other Taxes and Duties.

No Dutch value added tax and no Dutch registration tax, customs duty, stamp duty or any other similar documentary tax or duty will be payable by ashareholder on any payment pursuant to the Offer, the Compulsory Acquisition, the Asset Sale and Liquidation or the Mergers.

Certain Other Dutch Tax Aspects Specific to the Post-Offer Reorganization.

Mergers.

Stryker and Purchaser have no current intention to require the deduction and withholding of any Dutch dividend withholding tax (dividendbelasting) inrespect of any amounts payable upon completion of the Mergers to any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer and whodo not exercise any Merger Withdrawal Right (as defined below), but such tax deduction and withholding will take place to the extent required under Dutchtax law.

In the event that a Wright shareholder exercises a Merger Withdrawal Right, then any cash compensation paid to such withdrawing Wright shareholder willbe subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax (dividendbelasting) at the statutory rate of 15% to the extent that the amount of the cash compensation exceedsthe average paid-in capital on the Shares as recognized for Dutch dividend withholding tax purposes subject to any exemption, reduction or refund that maybe available to such withdrawing Wright shareholder. As a result, the net amount received by such withdrawing Wright shareholder may be lower than theamount that they would have received had they tendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period).

Asset Sale and Liquidation.

If the Asset Sale and Liquidation are implemented, Dutch dividend withholding tax (dividendbelasting) will be due at the statutory rate of 15% to the extentthat the amount of the Second Step Distribution exceeds the average paid-in capital on the Shares as recognized for Dutch dividend withholding taxpurposes (which amount may be subject to an advance tax clearance by the Dutch tax authorities on the amount of paid-in capital on the Shares asrecognized for Dutch dividend withholding tax purposes), subject to any exemption, reduction or refund that may be available to a Wright shareholder underDutch domestic tax law, tax treaties entered into by the Netherlands or European Union law.

The Offer is not conditioned upon Purchaser obtaining financing to fund the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer and to fund the Post-OfferReorganization. We believe the financial condition of Purchaser is not material to a decision by a holder of Shares whether to sell, hold or tender Sharespursuant to the Offer because (a) the Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares solely for cash, (b) the Offer is not subject to any financing conditionand (c) if we consummate the Offer and not all outstanding Shares are tendered pursuant to the Offer or during any Subsequent Offering Period (as it maybe extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), while we or Stryker may elect to effectuate or cause to be effectuated a Post-Offer Reorganization, wehave no plans to offer

22

Page 48: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

any of our securities to effectuate the Post-Offer Reorganization. The steps we may take to effectuate the Post-Offer Reorganization include (but are notlimited to):

• subject to (a) the approval of the Asset Sale Resolutions by Wright shareholders at the EGM (or any subsequent EGM) and (b) the AcceptanceTime having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold having been achieved, the Liquidation and the Second Step Distribution, wherebyeach non-tendering Wright shareholder will receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicablewithholding taxes, for each Share then owned by such non-tendering Wright shareholder;

• subject to (a) the approval of the Merger Resolutions by Wright shareholders at the EGM (or any subsequent EGM) and (b) the AcceptanceTime having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold having been achieved, complete the Mergers, whereby any Wright shareholders whodid not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer will no longer have any equity interest in the surviving entities from such Mergers and willultimately receive, for each Share held immediately prior to the completion of the First Step Merger, cash in an amount equal to the OfferConsideration. Such amount would be without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Stryker and Purchaser have no current intentionto require the deduction and withholding of any amounts under any tax law, but such tax deduction and withholding will take place to theextent required under applicable tax law; and

• if permissible under applicable law, commencing the Compulsory Acquisition, whereby the Dutch Court will determine in its sole discretion

the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares, which price may be greater than, equal to or less than the Offer Consideration. Such price willbe increased by Dutch Statutory Interest accrued at the rate applicable in the Netherlands (currently two percent (2%) per annum).

We estimate that the total amount of funds required for Purchaser to purchase all outstanding Shares in the Offer and to consummate the other transactionscontemplated by the Purchase Agreement, pay related transaction fees and expenses and pay or refinance certain outstanding debt of Wright, including itsoutstanding convertible notes, in connection with the consummation of the Offer and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, willbe approximately $5.4 billion. We anticipate funding such cash requirements from a combination of sources, including (a) available cash and cashequivalents of Stryker and its subsidiaries, (b) proceeds from the sale of debt securities and/or (c) bank or other debt financings.

A portion of Stryker’s available cash was received on December 3, 2019 from the public offering by Stryker of (a) €850,000,000 aggregate principalamount of 0.250% Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), (b) €800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.750% Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and (c)€750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.000% Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes” and, collectively with the 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes, the “Notes”).Stryker is required to redeem the 2024 Notes and the 2031 Notes in whole and not in part at a special mandatory redemption price equal to 101% of theaggregate principal amount of such series, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date, if Stryker doesnot consummate the Offer on or prior to February 4, 2021, or if, at any time prior to such date, Purchase Agreement is terminated.

Stryker may redeem any series of the Notes at its option, in whole, but not in part, for cash, at any time prior to their respective maturities at a price equal to100% of the outstanding principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, if certain tax eventsoccur that would obligate the Company to pay additional amounts as described in the indenture governing the Notes. In addition, Stryker may redeem eachof the 2024 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2031 Notes prior to their respective maturities at its option for cash, any time in whole or from time to time in part, atredemption prices that include accrued and unpaid interest and the applicable make-whole premium, as specified in the indenture governing the Notes.

The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that limit Stryker’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engagein certain sale and leaseback transactions, and enter into certain

23

consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of theoccurrence of both (a) a change of control of the Company and (b) a downgrade of the Notes below investment grade rating by both Moody’s Investors’Services, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services within a specified time period, Stryker will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at aprice equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

Nothing herein is or will be deemed to be an offer or sale of securities, which offering or sale may only be made pursuant to appropriate offeringdocumentation.

Stryker regularly evaluates and considers strategic opportunities, including investments in and acquisitions of third party companies and technologies, andother business initiatives intended to create or enhance stockholder value.

On March 24, 2019, Kevin A. Lobo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stryker, and Gordon Van Ummersen, Vice President and General Manager,Extremities of Stryker played golf with Robert J. Palmisano, Wright’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Lance A. Berry, Wright’s Executive VicePresident, Chief Financial and Operations Officer. During the game, Mr. Lobo stated to Mr. Palmisano that Stryker was evaluating potential businessdevelopment opportunities and may contact Wright in the summer of 2019 to discuss a potential strategic transaction. Mr. Lobo did not provide any furtherdetails about a potential transaction, including price, structure or other terms.

On July 16, 2019, Mr. Lobo contacted Mr. Palmisano to propose a meeting to discuss Stryker’s current analysis of Wright. Mr. Lobo stated that he wouldnot be making an offer during the meeting.

On August 12, 2019, Mr. Lobo and Mr. Palmisano held a breakfast meeting. During the meeting, Mr. Lobo confirmed his earlier statement that Strykerwould not make an offer to acquire Wright at that time and noted Stryker’s concerns about Wright’s financial performance and projections. Mr. Palmisanosuggested that a meeting between the companies’ respective chief financial officers could help Stryker better understand Wright’s longer-term financialoutlook.

On September 9, 2019, Glenn Boehnlein, Stryker’s Chief Financial Officer, and Katherine Owen, Stryker’s Vice President, Strategy and Investor Relations,attended a previously scheduled dinner meeting with Mr. Berry and Jason D. Asper, Wright’s Senior Vice President, Chief Digital Officer and head ofbusiness development, during which they discussed Wright’s publicly disclosed financial results and projections.

On September 11, 2019, Mr. Palmisano called Mr. Lobo to inform him that Wright had received a written proposal to acquire Wright and suggested that ifStryker was interested in acquiring Wright, it should submit a proposal prior to a September 19, 2019 meeting of the Wright Board. Mr. Lobo toldMr. Palmisano that he appreciated the call but that Stryker remained unlikely to make an offer at this time. Mr. Lobo did, however, commit to discuss apotential transaction internally and respond.

24

Table of Contents

On September 18, 2019, Mr. Lobo called Mr. Palmisano and informed him that after internal deliberations, Stryker proposed to acquire Wright for $30.00per share in cash, but Mr. Lobo did not propose additional terms for a potential transaction.

On September 22, 2019, Wright and Stryker entered into a confidentiality agreement, which included a 12-month standstill provision.

On September 24, 2019, Wright provided Stryker access to an electronic data room that included non-public information about Wright. BetweenSeptember 24, 2019 and October 18, 2019, representatives of Wright held in-person diligence meetings and calls with representatives of Stryker regardingvarious aspects of Wright’s business. Wright and its representatives also hosted visits at certain of its facilities, and responded to extensive diligencerequests, from representatives of Stryker.

On September 25, 2019, Wright sent a letter to Stryker outlining Wright’s process for evaluating a potential transaction, including that final price proposalswould be due on October 24, 2019.

On each of September 27, 2019 and October 3, 2019, representatives of Ropes & Gray LLP (“Ropes & Gray”), outside counsel to Wright, and Skadden,Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (“Skadden”), outside counsel to Stryker, held telephonic meetings to discuss the structure of a potential transaction.

On October 7, 2019, representatives of Wright met with representatives of Stryker in Boston, Massachusetts to make presentations about Wright and to holddiligence sessions focused on specific functional areas of Wright.

On October 8, 2019, Ropes & Gray distributed a draft purchase agreement to Stryker. The draft agreement included, among other things, a termination feepayable by Wright in certain circumstances equal to 1% of Wright’s equity value and a commitment by the acquiror to take all actions necessary to obtainregulatory clearances for the transaction.

On October 21, 2019, Skadden, on behalf of Stryker, sent Ropes & Gray a revised draft of the purchase agreement. The revised draft purchase agreementprovided, among other things, that under certain circumstances Wright would owe Stryker a termination fee equal to 4.0% of the equity value of thetransaction (including all amounts payable with respect to Wright’s convertible notes), that the Wright Board would only be permitted to accept analternative acquisition proposal if such proposal was for a cash amount at least 10% greater than the value of the consideration offered by Stryker, and thatStryker’s obligation to divest assets in order to obtain regulatory clearances would be limited to divestitures of total ankle replacement products andservices.

On October 22, 2019, a representative of Wright sent an email to representatives of Stryker indicating certain key changes in the proposed purchaseagreement submitted by Stryker were not acceptable to Wright, including the amount of the termination fee, the incremental cash amount required for analternative proposal to be deemed a superior proposal that Wright could accept, and Stryker’s limited commitment to divest assets in order to obtainregulatory approvals.

On October 24, 2019, Stryker submitted a written proposal to acquire Wright for $30.25 per share in cash. Following the submission, a representative ofStryker called Mr. Palmisano to discuss the proposal. Mr. Palmisano expressed disappointment with the proposed price and proposed a price of $32.00 pershare. The representative of Stryker agreed to discuss the matter internally. Later that day, the same representative of Stryker called Mr. Palmisano againand said Stryker would increase its proposed purchase price to $30.50 per share in cash. Mr. Palmisano responded on the call with a proposal of $31.00 pershare, which the representative of Stryker also agreed to discuss internally.

On October 25, 2019, Mr. Lobo called Mr. Palmisano and agreed to increase Stryker’s proposal to $30.75 in cash, but stated Stryker was unwilling toincrease the proposed price further. Mr. Palmisano agreed to discuss this with the Wright Board and reiterated that closing certainty was a critical issue forWright.

Between October 25, 2019 and November 3, 2019, representatives of Wright and Stryker, together with Ropes & Gray and Skadden, at the direction of theirrespective clients, negotiated the terms of the purchase agreement. Among the key areas of negotiation were Stryker’s commitment to divest assets in orderto obtain regulatory clearances; the material adverse effect definition; the Wright Board’s ability to accept a superior proposal and to change itsrecommendation, including whether a competing proposal must be for all cash consideration and at least a certain amount greater than Stryker’s proposedprice; and the size of the termination fee.

On Friday November 1, 2019, after the close of trading on Nasdaq, Bloomberg reported that Wright was exploring a sale.

• there has been a breach of any covenant or agreement made by Wright in the Purchase Agreement, or any representation or warranty ofWright is inaccurate or becomes inaccurate after the date of this Agreement, and such breach or inaccuracy gives rise to a failure of theWright No Breach Condition (as defined below), and such breach or inaccuracy is not capable of being cured within thirty (30) daysfollowing receipt by Wright of written notice from Stryker or Purchaser of such breach or inaccuracy or, if such breach or inaccuracy iscapable of being cured within such period, it has not been cured within such period (a “Wright Breach Termination”), provided theWright Breach Termination shall not be available if Stryker or Purchaser is then in material breach of any of its representations,warranties, covenants or agreements under the Purchase Agreement; or

• (a) the Wright Board or any committee thereof effects a Change of Board Recommendation or (b) the Wright Board or any committee

Effect of Termination. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, it will become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of anyparty (or of any of its representatives) and all rights and obligations of any party shall cease, except that (a) certain specified provisions of the PurchaseAgreement will survive, including those with respect to the Termination Fee (as defined below) and (b) no such termination will relieve any person of anyliability for damages resulting from a material breach of the Purchase Agreement that is a consequence of an act or omission intentionally undertaken by thebreaching party with the knowledge that such act or omission would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a material breach of the PurchaseAgreement (an “Intentional Breach”) or fraud. Stryker will cause the Offer to be terminated immediately after any termination of the Purchase Agreement.

Termination Fee. Wright has agreed to pay Stryker a termination fee of $150 million (the “Termination Fee”) if:

• the Purchase Agreement is terminated by Wright pursuant to an Alternative Acquisition Agreement Termination;

• the Purchase Agreement is terminated by Stryker pursuant to a Change of Board Recommendation Termination; or

• (a) the Purchase Agreement is terminated by (i) Stryker pursuant to a Wright Breach Termination on the basis of a breach of a covenant oragreement, (ii) either Stryker or Wright pursuant to an EGM Failure Termination or (iii) either Stryker or Wright pursuant to an Outside DateTermination or a Condition Failure Termination (and in the case of a termination by either Stryker or Wright pursuant to a Condition FailureTermination, at the time of the expiration or termination of the Offer, all conditions to the Offer (other than the Minimum Condition) weresatisfied or waived), (b) in any such termination under clause (a), prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal made after the date of thePurchase Agreement has been publicly disclosed and not publicly withdrawn or is otherwise known to the Wright Board and not withdrawn(publicly, if publicly disclosed) and (c) within twelve (12) months after any such termination, Wright or any of its subsidiaries enters into anAlternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (regardless of when or whether such transaction is consummated)or any Acquisition Proposal is consummated (provided, that for purposes of clause (c), references to “fifteen percent (15%) or more” in thedefinition of Acquisition Proposal will be substituted for “more than fifty percent (50%)”).

Governing Law, Jurisdiction. The Purchase Agreement and any action arising out of or relating to the Purchase Agreement or the transactions contemplatedthereby, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. Stryker, Purchaser and Wright have (a) expressly andirrevocably submitted to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or if such Court of Chancery lacks subjectmatter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, in the event any dispute arises out of the Purchase Agreement, the Offer, orthe other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (b) agreed not to attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or otherrequest for leave from any such court and (c) agreed not to bring any action relating to the Purchase Agreement, the Offer, or the other transactionscontemplated by the Purchase Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or if such Court of Chancery lacks subjectmatter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

Specific Performance. Stryker, Purchaser and Wright have agreed that in the event of any breach of the Purchase Agreement, irreparable harm would occurthat monetary damages could not make whole and that accordingly each party will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled atlaw or in equity, to compel specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of the Purchase Agreement in any action without theposting of a bond or undertaking.

Conditions to the Offer. The conditions to the Offer are described in Section 15—“Certain Conditions of the Offer.”

12. Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Wright.

Purpose of the Offer. The purpose of the Offer is for Purchaser to acquire all of Wright’s outstanding equity interests so that Purchaser will own and controlall of Wright’s business, operations and assets. The purpose of the Post-Offer Reorganization is to acquire all outstanding Shares not tendered andpurchased pursuant to the Offer and any Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) or to otherwise acquire orincrease control over Wright’s business, operations and assets. If the Offer Closing occurs, Stryker or Purchaser may elect to consummate a Post-OfferReorganization as described below.

Following the Acceptance Time, except as described below, Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to) provide for a Subsequent Offering Periodof at least ten (10) business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11

45

Page 71: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

promulgated under the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. In the event that prior to the expiration of any such SubsequentOffering Period, Purchaser or Stryker publicly announces its intention to, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate the Asset Sale,Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to) extend the Subsequent Offering Period for the Minority Exit Offering Period of at least five(5) business days to permit any remaining minority Wright shareholders to tender their shares in exchange for the Offer Consideration. The purpose of theSubsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) is to (a) offer to acquire outstanding Shares that were not tenderedpursuant to the Offer and (b) allow non-tendering Wright shareholders, who may be subject to different and potentially adverse tax treatment (includingwithholding tax treatment) on the consideration received in respect of their Shares in connection with the Asset Sale and Liquidation (as compared to theOffer), an additional opportunity to tender their Shares into the Offer and avoid such adverse tax treatment. In the event that promptly following theExpiration Time, Purchaser or Stryker has publicly announced its intention to, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate the Mergers (asdefined below), Purchaser we not be required to provide either a Subsequent Offering Period or Minority Exit Offering Period, but may do so if Purchaserchooses.

If the Offer is consummated, Purchaser expects that the current directors of the Wright Board will resign, other than two non-executive directors selected byPurchaser and Wright by mutual written agreement who are independent from Stryker and Purchaser and who qualify as independent under the DutchCorporate Governance Code 2016 (unless the current non-executive directors do not agree to serve on the Wright Board after the Offer Closing, in whichcase Purchaser will designate replacement directors who will at all times be independent from Stryker and Purchaser and who qualify as independent underthe Dutch Corporate Governance Code 2016), who Purchaser expects will remain on the Wright Board until the earliest of (a) such time after theAcceptance Time as Purchaser and its affiliates, in the aggregate, own one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding Shares, including pursuantto the Mergers and (b) the Second Step Distribution having been made and the Liquidation having been completed.

After the Offer Closing, Purchaser intends to cause Wright to terminate the listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq (the “Delisting”). As a result, we anticipatethat there will not be an active trading market for the Shares. In addition, after the Offer Closing, Purchaser intends to cause Wright to terminate theregistration of the Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable and take steps to cause the suspension of the reporting obligations with respectto the Shares with the SEC.

In addition, after amendment of Wright’s articles of association following the Delisting, pursuant to the Governance Resolutions proposed to be approved atthe EGM, record ownership of Shares can only be transferred pursuant to a notarial deed executed before a Dutch notary. This will require compliance bythe transferor and transferee of Shares with various administrative formalities under Dutch law and will also require shareholders to incur costs for Dutchnotarial fees when they transfer Shares. Furthermore, after such amendment of Wright’s articles of association, any transfer of record ownership of Sharesprior to June 1, 2022 would require the prior approval of the Wright Board.

If you sell your Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit OfferingPeriod), you will cease to have any equity interest in Wright or any right to participate in its earnings and future growth. If you do not tender your Shares,but the Mergers, the Liquidation or the Compulsory Acquisition is consummated, you also will no longer have an equity interest in Wright. Similarly, afterselling your Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) orafter consummation of the Mergers, the Liquidation or the Compulsory Acquisition, you will not bear the risk of any decrease in the value of Wright.

Post-Offer Reorganization. Following the later of the Offer Closing and the closing of any Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by theMinority Exit Offering Period), Stryker or Purchaser may, but is not required to, effectuate or cause to be effectuated a Post-Offer Reorganization. The Post-Offer Reorganization will utilize processes available to Purchaser under Dutch and other applicable law aimed at strengthening Stryker’s

46

Page 72: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

direct or indirect control over Wright or its assets and business operations. More specifically, the Asset Sale and Liquidation, the Mergers and theCompulsory Acquisition would ensure that Purchaser or one of its affiliates becomes the owner of all or substantially all of Wright’s business operationsfrom and after the consummation of such Post-Offer Reorganization. In the event the Asset Sale and Liquidation, the Mergers or the CompulsoryAcquisition are consummated, Wright will either be liquidated, disappear or become wholly owned by Purchaser. If a Post-Offer Reorganization isimplemented, Stryker currently has a preference to implement the Mergers.

The applicable withholding taxes and other taxes, if any, imposed on non-tendering Wright shareholders in respect of any Post-OfferReorganization may be different from, and greater than, the taxes imposed upon such Wright shareholders had they tendered their Sharespursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period).

Asset Sale, Liquidation and Second Step Distribution. In the event that the Asset Sale and Liquidation is implemented, which is subject to (a) the approvalof the Asset Sale Resolutions by Wright shareholders at the EGM (or any subsequent EGM) and (b) the Acceptance Time having occurred and theReorganization Threshold having been achieved, any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during theSubsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) will receive for each Share held immediately prior to completionof the Asset Sale cash in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Upon consummation of theAsset Sale: (a) Wright will hold only the cash received in the Asset Sale and certain other immaterial assets and liabilities; (b) Purchaser (or an affiliate ofPurchaser) would (i) own all of Wright’s business operations and (ii) be the principal shareholder in Wright; and (c) the non-tendering Wright shareholderswould continue to own Shares representing, in the aggregate, a minority of the Shares then outstanding. As soon as practicable following consummation ofthe Asset Sale, the Liquidator would then complete the Liquidation in accordance with applicable Dutch procedures, with Purchaser (or an affiliate ofPurchaser) providing certain funds and indemnities to enable the Liquidator to make the Second Step Distribution, whereby the initial advance liquidationdistribution is expected to result in payment, through a settlement agent, to each non-tendering Wright shareholder of cash in an amount equal to the OfferConsideration, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, for each Share then owned by such non-tendering Wright shareholder. Nocompensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costs charged by banks in relation to the transfer of the Second StepDistribution to their bank account or otherwise.

Subject to adoption of the Asset Sale Resolutions, a foundation (stichting) to be incorporated under Dutch law (the “Liquidator”) will be appointed as theliquidator in respect of the Liquidation once Wright’s dissolution has become effective and the Liquidator will carry out the liquidation of Wright’s assetsand business. The board of directors of the liquidator will initially consist of Wright, and Purchaser and Wright will use their respective reasonable bestefforts to (a) procure that the board of directors of the Liquidator will, as soon as practicable after the EGM but in any case prior to the contemplated SecondStep Distribution, consist of one or more professional liquidator(s) or similar service provider(s) (natural person(s) or a professional liquidator serviceprovider) and (b) reach agreement with such service provider as soon as practicable after the date of the Purchase Agreement.

Mergers. In the event that the Mergers are implemented, which is subject to (a) the approval of the Merger Resolutions by Wright shareholders at the EGM(or any subsequent EGM) and (b) the Acceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold having been achieved, Wright and Purchaser willcomplete a series of mergers whereby (i) Wright will merge with and into Wright Luxembourg with Wright Luxembourg surviving the merger, (ii) WrightLuxembourg will merge with and into Wright Bermuda with Wright Bermuda surviving the merger and (iii) a Bermuda exempted company formed byStryker as a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser will merge with and into Wright Bermuda with Wright Bermuda surviving the merger. Upon completionof the Mergers, any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer will no longer have any equity interest in the survivingentities from such Mergers and will ultimately receive, for each Share held immediately prior to the completion of the First Step Merger, cash in an amountequal to the Offer Consideration. Such amount would be without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Stryker and Purchaser have no

47

Page 73: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

current intention to require the deduction and withholding of any amounts under any tax law, but such tax deduction and withholding will take place to theextent required under applicable tax law. Upon completion of the Mergers, Wright will be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker. No compensationwill be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costs charged by banks in relation to the transfer of the cash proceeds of the Third-Step Merger to their bank account or otherwise.

Compulsory Acquisition. In the event that the Compulsory Acquisition is permissible under applicable law and implemented, then Shares held bynon-tendering Wright shareholders will be acquired in accordance with Section 2:92a or Section 2:201a of the DCC. In that circumstance, the Dutch Courtwill determine the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares. The Dutch Court has sole discretion to determine such price, and the Dutch Court will selectthe Reference Date. If the Compulsory Acquisition is commenced shortly following the Offer Closing and at the Offer Closing the Purchaser has achievedthe Compulsory Acquisition Threshold, it is expected that the Reference Date will be the date of the Offer Closing and that the per Share price paid in theCompulsory Acquisition will be equal to the Offer Consideration. If Purchaser has not achieved the Compulsory Acquisition Threshold at the time of theOffer Closing but does so shortly afterwards and then commences the Compulsory Acquisition, the Dutch Court will generally use as a Reference Date theearlier of (i) the date on which Purchaser demonstrates it has achieved the Compulsory Acquisition Threshold and (ii) the date on which the Dutch Courtrenders an interim judgment preliminarily allowing the claim for the Compulsory Acquisition. The Share price determined by the Dutch Court may begreater than, equal to or less than the Offer Consideration. Such price will be increased by Dutch Statutory Interest accrued at the rate applicable in theNetherlands (currently two percent (2%) per annum) from the Reference Date. The end of the period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interestwould be the date Purchaser pays for the Shares then owned by the non-tendering Wright shareholders (whether directly or through a payment made to therelevant governmental authority in the Netherlands). Upon execution (tenuitvoerlegging) of the Dutch Court’s ruling in the Compulsory Acquisition, eachnon-tendering Wright shareholder will receive the per Share price determined by the Dutch Court and Purchaser will become the sole shareholder ofWright. If payment by Purchaser is made to the relevant governmental authority in the Netherlands, rather than directly to non-tendering Wrightshareholders, such shareholders may only seek their consideration directly from such governmental authority in the Netherlands. Upon completion of theCompulsory Acquisition, Wright will be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker. No compensation will be paid to non-tendering Wrightshareholders for any administrative costs charged by banks in relation to the transfer of the cash proceeds of the Compulsory Acquisition to their bankaccount or otherwise.

Alternative Post-Offer Reorganization Measures. The Purchase Agreement provides that Stryker or Purchaser, with, in certain circumstances, Wright’s priorwritten consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), may also effectuate (and cause Wright to effectuate) the Post-Offer Reorganization bymeans of any of the following alternative manners (each an “Alternative Post-Offer Reorganization”):

• an election by Wright pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3 to be classified as a partnership or as a disregarded entity forU.S. federal tax purposes;

• a statutory legal merger (juridische fusie) in accordance with Article 2:309 et seq. of the DCC between Wright (as the disappearing company)and Purchaser (as the acquiring company), pursuant to which merger the shareholders of Wright will receive shares of Purchaser (“PurchaserShares”), cash or receivables in accordance with Article 2:325 of the DCC (or a mix of any of the foregoing), upon which merger the holdersof the Purchaser Shares will be granted the right to exchange Purchaser Shares with Stryker, or an Affiliate of Stryker, for securities of Strykerat any time before a date to be set by Stryker or Purchaser, after which date the Purchaser Shares will be redeemed;

• a statutory (cross-border or domestic) legal (bilateral or triangular) merger (juridische (driehoeks-) fusie) in accordance with Article 2:309 etseq. of the DCC between Wright, Purchaser and/or any Affiliate of Stryker;

• a statutory legal (bilateral or triangular) demerger (juridische (driehoeks-) splitsing) of Wright in accordance with Article 2:334a et seq. of theDCC;

48

Page 74: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

• a contribution of cash and/or assets by Purchaser, Stryker or by any Affiliate of Stryker in exchange for ordinary shares in Wright’s share

capital, in which circumstances the pre-emptive rights (voorkeursrechten), if any, of the non-tendering Wright shareholders could beexcluded;

• a sale and transfer of assets and liabilities (a) by Wright or a subsidiary of Wright to Purchaser, Stryker or an affiliate of Stryker or (b) by

Purchaser, Stryker or any affiliate of Stryker to Wright or any subsidiary of Wright, on terms substantially similar to the terms agreed for theAsset Sale to the extent this relates to substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Wright and its subsidiaries;

• a distribution of proceeds, cash and/or assets to the shareholders of Wright or share buybacks;

• a dissolution and/or liquidation of Wright;

• a subsequent public offer for any Shares held by non-tendering Wright shareholders;

• a conversion of Wright into a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid);

• any transaction, including a sale and/or transfer of any or all assets, between Wright and its affiliates or between Wright, on the one hand, andPurchaser or Stryker, on the other hand, or their respective affiliates (including any newly formed private company with limited liability(besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) organized under the Laws of the Netherlands), with the objective of preserving orutilizing any carry forward tax losses available to Wright, Stryker, Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates;

• any transactions, restructurings, share issues, procedures and/or proceedings in relation to Wright and/or one or more of its affiliates requiredto effect the aforementioned transactions; and

• any combination of the foregoing.

To undertake any Alternative Post-Closing Reorganization (other than as described in the first two bullet points above), Stryker or Purchaser would have toreceive the prior written consent of Wright (not to be unreasonably withheld), which consent would require the affirmative vote of the IndependentDirectors if the proposed Alternative Post-Closing Restructuring constituted an Independent Director Approval Transaction (as defined below).

It is possible that Purchaser may not be able to, or may elect not to, implement any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization after the consummation of theOffer, or that such Post-Offer Reorganization may be delayed or unable to be completed. Any Post-Offer Reorganization could be the subject of litigation,and a court could delay the Post-Offer Reorganization or prohibit it from occurring on the terms described in this Offer to Purchase, or from occurring at all.Moreover, even if Purchaser is able to effect any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization, the consideration that Wright shareholders receive therefrom may bedifferent than the consideration that they would have received had they tendered their Shares in the Offer (and they may also be subject to additional taxes).

Under no circumstance will interest be paid on the Offer Consideration paid pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer, anySubsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) or any delay in making payment for Shares.

The affirmative vote of the Independent Directors will be required for approving (a) any restructuring that would reasonably be expected to lead to adilution of the shareholdings of the non-tendering Wright shareholders, other than (i) pursuant to a rights issue by Wright or any other share issue where thenon-tendering Wright shareholders have been offered an opportunity to subscribe pro rata to their then existing shareholding in Wright (voorkeursrecht), (ii)the Asset Sale, the Liquidation and the Second Step Distribution, (iii) the Mergers or (iv) the Compulsory Acquisition and (b) any other form of unequaltreatment that prejudices or would reasonably be expected to prejudice or negatively affect the value of the Shares or voting rights attached to the Sharesheld by the non-tendering Wright shareholders, but in any event not including (i) the Asset Sale, the Liquidation and

49

Page 75: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

the Second Step Distribution, (ii) the Mergers or (iii) the Compulsory Acquisition (each of (a) and (b), an “Independent Director Approval Transaction”).

Plans for Wright. It is expected that, initially following the Post-Offer Reorganization, the business and operations of Wright will, except as set forth in thisOffer to Purchase, be continued substantially as they are currently being conducted. Purchaser and its affiliates will continue to evaluate the business andoperations of Wright during the pendency of the Offer and after the consummation of any Post-Offer Reorganization and may make changes to their plansbased on such evaluation, and will take such actions as they deem appropriate under the circumstances then existing. Thereafter, Purchaser and its affiliatesintend to conduct a comprehensive review of Wright’s business, operations, capitalization and management with a view to optimizing the integration ofWright and Stryker.

To the best knowledge of Purchaser and Stryker, except for certain agreements described in the Schedule 14D-9, no employment, equity contribution orother agreement, arrangement or understanding between any executive officer or director of Wright, on the one hand, and Stryker, Purchaser or Wright, onthe other hand, existed as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, and the Offer is not conditioned upon any executive officer or director of Wright enteringinto any such agreement, arrangement or understanding.

It is possible that certain members of Wright’s current management team will enter into new employment arrangements with Wright, Stryker or theiraffiliates after the completion of the Offer and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Such arrangements may include the right topurchase or participate in the equity of Stryker or its affiliates. There can be no assurance that any parties will reach an agreement on any terms, or at all.

13. Certain Effects of the Offer.

Market for the Shares. The purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will reduce the number of Wright shareholders and the number of Shares that mightotherwise trade publicly, which could adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the remaining Shares. We cannot predict whether the reduction inthe number of Shares that might otherwise trade publicly would have an adverse or beneficial effect on the market price for, or marketability of, the Sharesor whether such reduction would cause future market prices to be greater or less than the Offer Consideration.

Nasdaq Listing. Depending upon the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer, the Shares may no longer meet the requirements for continuedlisting on the Nasdaq. According to the Nasdaq’s published guidelines, Nasdaq would consider disqualifying the Shares for listing on the Nasdaq if, amongother possible grounds, (a) the total number of holders of record and holders of beneficial interest, taken together, in the Shares falls below 400, (b) the bidprice for a Share over a 30 consecutive business day period is less than $1.00, (c)(i) Wright has stockholders’ equity of less than $10 million, the number ofpublicly held Shares falls below 750,000, the market value of publicly held Shares over a thirty (30) consecutive business day period is less than $5 millionor there are fewer than two active and registered market makers in the Shares over a ten consecutive business day period, (ii) the number of publicly heldShares falls below 1,100,000, the market value of publicly held Shares over a thirty (30) consecutive business day period is less than $15 million, there arefewer than four active and registered market makers in the Shares over a ten consecutive business day period, or the market value of Wright’s listedsecurities is less than $50 million over a ten consecutive business day period or (iii) the number of publicly held shares falls below 1,100,000, the marketvalue of publicly held Shares over a thirty (30) consecutive business day period is less than $15 million, there are fewer than four active and registeredmarket makers in the Shares over a ten consecutive business day period, or Wright’s total assets and total revenue is less than $50 million each for the mostrecently completed fiscal year (or in two of the last three (3) fiscal years). If, as a result of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the Offer, the Shares nolonger meet these criteria, the listing of Shares on the Nasdaq would be discontinued and the market for the Shares will be adversely affected. Regardless ofwhether the Shares continue to meet the criteria for continued listing on the Nasdaq, after the Offer Closing, we intend to cause Wright to terminate thelisting of the Shares on the Nasdaq.

50

Table of Contents

In addition, after amendment of Wright’s articles of association following the Delisting, pursuant to the Governance Resolutions proposed to be approved atthe EGM, record ownership of Shares can only be transferred pursuant to a notarial deed executed before a Dutch notary. This will require compliance bythe transferor and transferee of Shares with various administrative formalities under Dutch law and will also require shareholders to incur costs for Dutchnotarial fees when they transfer Shares. Furthermore, after such amendment of Wright’s articles of association, any transfer of record ownership of Sharesprior to June 1, 2022 would require the prior approval of the Wright Board.

Margin Regulations. The Shares are currently “margin securities” under the Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the“Federal Reserve Board”), which has the effect, among other things, of allowing brokers to extend credit on the collateral of the Shares. Depending uponfactors similar to those described above regarding the market for the Shares and listing, it is possible that, following the Offer, the Shares would no longerconstitute “margin securities” for the purposes of the margin regulations of the Federal Reserve Board and, therefore, could no longer be used as collateralfor loans made by brokers.

Exchange Act Registration. The Shares are currently registered under the Exchange Act. Such registration may be terminated upon application by Wright tothe SEC if the Shares are neither listed on a national securities exchange nor held by three hundred (300) or more holders of record, subject to fulfillingcertain conditions. Termination of registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act would substantially reduce the information required to be furnished byWright to its shareholders and to the SEC and would make certain provisions of the Exchange Act no longer applicable to Wright. Furthermore, the abilityof “affiliates” of Wright and persons holding “restricted securities” of Wright to dispose of such securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under theSecurities Act may be impaired or eliminated. If registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act were terminated, the Shares would no longer be “marginsecurities” or be eligible for listing on the Nasdaq as described above. We intend to, and will cause Wright to, terminate the registration of the Shares underthe Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Offer Closing and expect to take steps to cause the suspension of all of Wright’s reporting obligationswith respect to the Shares under the Exchange Act. If registration of the Shares is not terminated prior to the commencement of the Post-OfferReorganization, the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act will be terminated during or following the consummation of Post-OfferReorganization.

Other measures. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and this Offer to Purchase, Purchaser reserves the right to submit, orrequest Wright to submit, proposals for a vote at a general meeting of shareholders of Wright (including the EGM) in order to change the corporate structureand the capital structure of Wright and/or achieve an optimal financial or other structuring, including amendments to Wright’s articles of association andchanges in the accounting policies applied in Wright and its subsidiaries, all in accordance with Dutch law and the articles of association of Wright.

14. Dividends and Distributions.

The Purchase Agreement provides that, from the date thereof to the Offer Closing or the earlier termination of the Purchase Agreement, except with theprior written consent of Purchaser, neither Wright nor any of its subsidiaries will declare, set aside or pay any dividends on or make other distributions(whether in cash, stock or property) in respect of any their share capital, equity interests or other ownership or voting interests (other than the declarationand payment of cash dividends or distributions by a direct or indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wright solely to its parent in the ordinary course ofbusiness consistent with past practice).

15. Certain Conditions of the Offer.

Purchaser is not required to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-l(c) under the ExchangeAct (relating to Purchaser’s obligation to pay for or return tendered Shares promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), to pay for any Sharesvalidly tendered and not

properly withdrawn in connection with the Offer, unless, immediately prior to the then applicable Expiration Time, each of the following conditions to theOffer has been satisfied or waived (to the extent such waiver is permitted by applicable law and the terms of the Purchase Agreement):

• the Minimum Condition;

16. Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals.

General. Except as described in this Section 16, based on our examination of publicly available information filed by Wright with the SEC and otherinformation provided by Wright, we are not aware of any governmental license or regulatory permit that appears to be material to Wright’s business thatmight be adversely affected by our acquisition of Shares as contemplated in this Offer to Purchase or of any approval or other action by any governmental,administrative or regulatory authority or agency, domestic or foreign, that would be required for the acquisition or ownership of Shares by Purchaser ascontemplated in this Offer to Purchase. Should any such approval or other action be required, we currently contemplate that such approval or other actionwill be sought. While Purchaser does not currently intend to delay acceptance for payment of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer pending the outcome ofany such matter, there can be no assurance that any such approval or other action, if needed, would be obtained or would be obtained without substantialconditions or that if such approvals were not obtained or such other actions were not taken, adverse consequences might not result to Wright’s business, anyof which under certain conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement, could cause Purchaser to terminate (and Stryker to cause Purchaser to terminate) theOffer without the purchase of Shares thereunder under certain conditions. See Section 15—“Certain Conditions of the Offer.”

Compliance with the HSR Act. Under the HSR Act, and the related rules and regulations that have been issued by the Federal Trade Commission of theUnited States (the “FTC”), certain transactions may not be consummated until specified information and documentary material (“Premerger Notificationand Report Form”) have been furnished to the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice of the United States (the “Antitrust Division”)and certain waiting periods have been terminated or expired. These requirements of the HSR Act apply to the acquisition of Shares pursuant to the Offer andthe Purchase Agreement.

Under the HSR Act, our purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer may not be completed until the expiration of a fifteen (15) calendar day waiting periodfollowing the filing by Purchaser, of its Premerger Notification and Report Form concerning the Offer with the FTC and the Antitrust Division, unless thewaiting period is extended by the FTC or the Antitrust Division. The required waiting period with respect to the Offer and the Purchase Agreement willexpire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, fifteen (15) calendar days after filing (unless the fifteenth (15th) day falls on a weekend or holiday, in which case thefifteenth (15th) day is extended to the next business day), unless Purchaser withdraws its Premerger Notification and Report Form before the expiration ofthe initial fifteen (15) calendar day waiting period and refiles it thereafter, and unless the FTC or the Antitrust Division extends the waiting period byissuing a request for additional information and documentary material (a “Second Request”) prior to expiry of the initial waiting period. If within the initialwaiting period, Purchaser withdraws

53

Page 79: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

Table of Contents

and refiles its Premerger Notification and Report Form, the HSR Act waiting period will restart and will expire fifteen (15) calendar days following there-filing of the Premerger Notification and Report Form unless the FTC or the Antitrust Division extends the waiting period by issuing a Second Requestprior to expiry of the initial waiting period. If within the initial waiting period either the FTC or the Antitrust Division issues a Second Request, the waitingperiod with respect to the Offer and the Purchase Agreement would be extended until ten (10) calendar days following the date of substantial compliance byPurchaser with that request, unless the FTC or the Antitrust Division terminates the additional waiting period before its expiration.

The FTC and the Antitrust Division will scrutinize the legality under the antitrust laws of Purchaser’s proposed acquisition of Wright. At any time before orafter Purchaser’s acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer, if the Antitrust Division or the FTC believes that the Offer would violate the U.S.federal antitrust laws by substantially lessening competition in any line of commerce affecting U.S. consumers, the FTC and the Antitrust Division have theauthority to challenge the transaction by seeking a federal court order enjoining the transaction or, if shares have already been acquired, requiringdisposition of such Shares, or requiring the divestiture of substantial assets of Purchaser, Wright or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates orrequiring other relief. United States state attorneys general and private persons may also bring legal action under the antitrust laws seeking similar relief orseeking conditions to the completion of the Offer. While Stryker believes that consummation of the Offer would not violate any antitrust laws, there can beno assurance that a challenge to the Offer on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if a challenge is made, what the result will be. If any such action isthreatened or commenced by the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any state or any other person, Purchaser would not be obligated to consummate the Offer ifsuch action results in the failure of a condition of the Offer. See Section 15—“Certain Conditions of the Offer.”

Foreign Competition Law Filings. Wright and Stryker and certain of their respective affiliates conduct business in several countries outside of the UnitedStates. Based on a review of the information currently available about the businesses in which Purchaser, Wright and their respective affiliates are engaged,Purchaser and Wright have anticipated possible filings with the Austrian Federal Competition Authority, the Colombian Superintendency of Industry andCommerce, the German Federal Cartel Office, the Saudi Arabian General Authority for Competition, and the UK Competition and Markets Authority.Waiting periods promulgated or approvals required under the competition laws of Austria, Colombia, Germany, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and theUnited Kingdom, in each case, to the extent applicable, will have, respectively, expired or been received before the transactions contemplated by thePurchase Agreement may close. Descriptions of the filing process for each of these jurisdictions are provided in Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9. Inaccordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Wright, Stryker and Purchaser have agreed to promptly make all such filings.

Stryker and Purchaser are not currently aware of any other pre-closing antitrust or competition law filings required in connection with the transactionscontemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

Going Private Transactions. The SEC has adopted Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, which is applicable to certain “going private” transactions, andwhich may under certain circumstances be applicable to certain Post-Offer Reorganizations or other business combinations following the purchase of Sharespursuant to the Offer in which Purchaser seeks to acquire the remaining Shares not then held by it. Purchaser believes that Rule 13e-3 under the ExchangeAct will not be applicable to such Post-Offer Reorganizations because Purchaser was not, at the time the Purchase Agreement was executed, and is not, anaffiliate of Wright (for purposes of the Exchange Act); and it is anticipated that any such Post-Offer Reorganization will be effected as soon as practicableafter the consummation of the Offer (and within one year following the consummation of the Offer) and it is further anticipated that shareholders willreceive the same price per Share as the Offer Consideration in such Post-Offer Reorganization (subject to the determination of the Dutch Court, ifapplicable).

17. Appraisal Rights.

Wright shareholders are not entitled under Dutch law or otherwise to appraisal rights with respect to the Offer.

In the event that the Compulsory Acquisition is permissible under applicable law and implemented, the Dutch Court will determine in its sole discretion theprice to be paid for the non-tendered Shares, which price may be greater than, equal to or less than the Offer Consideration. Such price will be increased byDutch Statutory Interest accrued at the rate applicable in the Netherlands (currently two percent (2%) per annum). The non-tendering Wright shareholdersdo not have the right to commence a Compulsory Acquisition proceeding to oblige us to buy their Shares.

In the event the Merger Resolutions are adopted at the EGM or any subsequent EGM, any Wright shareholder that votes against the Merger Resolutionsmay exercise its withdrawal right under Dutch law in connection with the First-Step Merger (the “Merger Withdrawal Right”) by filing a request forcompensation in accordance with Section 2:333h of the DCC within one (1) month after the date of the EGM or subsequent EGM at which the MergerResolutions were adopted. If the Mergers are then implemented, such compensation would be paid in cash in connection with the consummation of theFirst-Step Merger. The Merger Resolutions include certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association that fix the cash compensation payable to anysuch Wright shareholders exercising the Merger Withdrawal Right at an amount per Share equal to the Offer Consideration without interest and lessapplicable withholding taxes.

18. Fees and Expenses.

Purchaser has retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated to be the Information Agent and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC to be the Depositaryin connection with the Offer. As part of the services included in such retention, the Information Agent may contact Wright shareholders by mail, telephone,facsimile, personal interview, electronic mail, and other methods of electronic communication and may request brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trustcompanies and other nominees to forward materials relating to the Offer to beneficial owners of Shares.

Brokers, dealers, commercial banks,trust companies and other nominees will, upon request, be reimbursed by Purchaser for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them inforwarding offering materials to their customers. In those jurisdictions where applicable laws require the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer,the Offer will be deemed to be made on behalf of Purchaser by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction to bedesignated by Purchaser.

19. Miscellaneous.

The Offer is not being made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) Wright shareholders in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offeror the acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. However, we may, in our discretion,take such action as we deem necessary to make the Offer comply with the laws of any such jurisdiction and extend the Offer to Wright shareholders in suchjurisdiction in compliance with applicable laws.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

Under U.S. federal income tax laws, to prevent U.S. federal backup withholding on payments of the purchase price with respect to Shares tendered pursuantto the Offer to a tendering shareholder that is a U.S. Person, such shareholder is generally required to provide the Depositary (as payer) with suchshareholder’s taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) by completing the attached IRS Form W-9 and certifying, under penalties of perjury, that (a) the TINprovided on IRS Form W-9 is correct (or that such shareholder is awaiting a TIN), (b) such shareholder is a U.S. Person, and (c) such shareholder is notsubject to U.S. federal backup withholding, or by otherwise establishing a basis for exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding. A TIN is generally anindividual shareholder’s social security number or a non-individual shareholder’s employer identification number. If the Depositary is not provided with thecorrect TIN, a penalty may be imposed by the IRS and payments that are made with respect to Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer may be subject to U.S.federal backup withholding. Failure to comply truthfully with the U.S. federal backup withholding requirements may also result in the imposition ofcriminal and/or civil fines and penalties. If a tendering shareholder that is a U.S. Person has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends toapply for a TIN in the near future, such shareholder should write “Applied for” in Part I of the IRS Form W-9. Notwithstanding that “Applied for” is writtenin Part I of the IRS Form W-9, the Depositary will withhold 24 percent of all reportable payments of the purchase price with respect to Shares tenderedpursuant to the Offer to such shareholder until a TIN is provided to the Depositary. Under certain circumstances, a shareholder’s IRS Form W-9, includingits TIN, may be transferred from the Depositary to Purchaser’s paying agent.

Certain shareholders (including certain corporations, non-resident non-U.S. individuals and non-U.S. entities) may not be subject to the U.S. federal backupwithholding requirements. An exempt shareholder that is a U.S. Person should provide the Depositary with a properly completed IRS Form W-9 thatfurnishes such shareholder’s correct TIN and any applicable “exempt payee codes” in the “Exemptions” box of the IRS Form W-9. A shareholder (whetheran individual or an entity) that is not a U.S. Person may qualify as an exempt recipient by submitting to the Depositary a properly completed IRSForm W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) certifying, under penalties of perjury, that suchshareholder is not a U.S. Person and is the beneficial owner of payments received pursuant to the Offer. In general, a person is not a beneficial owner ofincome if the person receives the income as nominee, agent or custodian, or to the extent the person is a conduit whose participation in the transaction isdisregarded. Please consult your tax advisor for more information. The appropriate IRS Form W-8 can be obtained from the Depositary or downloaded fromthe IRS’s website at http://www.irs.gov.

Please consult your tax advisor for further guidance regarding the completion of IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E orIRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) to claim exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding, or contact the Depositary.

If U.S. federal backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to withhold and pay over to the IRS a portion of any payment made to ashareholder. U.S. federal backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to U.S.federal backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If U.S. federal backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, arefund may be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is properly furnished to the IRS.

For additional information regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Offer to Purchase, see “Certain Material Tax Consequences—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the Offer to Purchase.

By signing the filled-out form, you:1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be

issued),2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If

applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of anypartnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax onforeign partners’ share of effectively connected income, and

4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you areexempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, forfurther information.Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 torequest your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to thisForm W-9.Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. personif you are:• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the UnitedStates or under the laws of the United States;• An estate (other than a foreign estate); or• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in theUnited States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on anyforeign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business.Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules undersection 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and paythe section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner ina partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 tothe partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on yourshare of partnership income.

In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership forpurposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable shareof net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.• In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of thedisregarded entity and not the entity;• In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, theU.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and• In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than agrantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank thathas elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use theappropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on NonresidentAliens and Foreign Entities).Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alienindividual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certaintypes of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “savingclause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax tocontinue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S.resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the savingclause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income,you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimedexemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and

its exceptions.4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty

article.Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax

for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the UnitedStates. Under U.S. law, this student will

become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (datedApril 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after theChinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student whoqualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on thisexception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship incomewould attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above tosupport that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriatecompleted Form W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup WithholdingWhat is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must undercertain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called“backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding includeinterest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents,royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third partynetwork transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estatetransactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give therequester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxableinterest and dividends on your tax return.Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for

details),3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not

report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest anddividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholdingunder 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payeecode, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for moreinformation.

Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier.

What is FATCA Reporting?The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreignfinancial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified UnitedStates persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption fromFATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for moreinformation.

Updating Your InformationYou must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be anexempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportablepayments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updatedinformation if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you nolonger are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TINchanges for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

PenaltiesFailure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you aresubject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonablecause and not to willful neglect.Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a falsestatement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subjectto a $500 penalty.Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications oraffirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, therequester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. Please note that the Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 9:00 a.m., EasternTime, on February 27, 2020, unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated.

The Offer is being made pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2019 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “PurchaseAgreement”), by and among Stryker, Purchaser and Wright. Unless the Offer is earlier terminated, the Offer will expire at the Expiration Time. ThePurchase Agreement provides, among other things, that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Purchaser will (and Stryker will causePurchaser to), (a) at or as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time (but in any event within two business days thereafter), accept for payment(the time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”) and (b) at or as promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Time (but in any eventwithin two (2) business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the“Exchange Act”)) thereafter), pay for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as of the Acceptance Time (such time ofpayment, the “Offer Closing”). It is expected that following the Offer Closing, the listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market will beterminated, Wright will no longer be a publicly traded company, and the Shares will be deregistered under the Exchange Act, resulting in the cessation ofWright’s reporting obligations with respect to the Shares with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

After consideration, the board of directors (bestuur) of Wright (the “Wright Board”) has unanimously, among other things, (a) determined that theterms of the Purchase Agreement, the Offer, certain of the Post-Offer Reorganization transactions (including the Asset Sale, the Liquidation andSecond Step Distribution and the Mergers (each as defined below)) and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are in thebest interests of Wright, its businesses and its shareholders, employees and other relevant stakeholders, (b) approved and adopted the PurchaseAgreement and (c) resolved, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to recommend that Wright’sshareholders tender their Shares into the Offer and approve and adopt the matters to be proposed for consideration and approval by Wright’sshareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of Wright shareholders to be held prior to the Expiration Time in accordance with the terms ofthe Purchase Agreement (the “EGM”).

The Wright Board unanimously recommends that Wright shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares in the Offer.

At the EGM, Wright shareholders will be requested to vote on (a) (i) approval of the sale, transfer and assumption of the business of Wright, includingsubstantially all of the assets and liabilities of Wright, to or by Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) (the “Asset Sale”) subject to the Acceptance Timehaving occurred and the Reorganization Threshold (as defined below) having been achieved and (ii) subject to Asset Sale having been completed, theAcceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold (as defined below) having been achieved, (1) dissolve (ontbinden) Wright inaccordance with Section 2:19 of the Dutch Civil Code (the “DCC”) and (2) appoint as liquidator (the “Liquidator”) a foundation (stichting) to beincorporated under Dutch law and approve reimbursement of the Liquidator’s reasonable salary and costs (provided that such reimbursement will be subjectto the approval of certain members of the Wright Board who are independent from Purchaser and Stryker not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned ordelayed) and (3) appoint an affiliate of Purchaser as the custodian of the books and records of Wright in accordance with Section 2:24 of the DCC(collectively, the “Asset Sale Resolutions”), (b) approval of the Mergers (as defined below), subject to the Acceptance Time having occurred and theReorganization Threshold having been achieved, and certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association to determine the compensation to be paid toWright shareholders who vote against approval of the Mergers and who request compensation in connection with the First-Step Merger (as defined below)in accordance with Section 2:333h of the DCC (collectively, the “Merger Resolutions”), (c) approval of the statutory spin-off (afsplitsing) of certain assetsand liabilities of Wright to a wholly owned subsidiary of Wright (the “Demerger Resolutions”), subject to the Offer Closing, or earlier if so agreed byWright, Stryker and Purchaser, (d) certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association to become effective after the Offer Closing, including, if electedby Purchaser, the conversion of Wright from a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap or N.V.) to a private limited liability company(besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V.) under Dutch law, certain other amendments to

Page 112: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

become effective after the delisting of the Shares on the Nasdaq and an amendment to align Wright’s financial year with that reckoned by Purchaser, (e) theappointment of directors designated by Purchaser to the Wright Board to replace certain current directors of Wright who will resign from the Wright Boardeffective as of the Offer Closing (together with clause (d) the “Governance Resolutions”), (f) the full and final discharge to each member of the WrightBoard for their acts of management or supervision, as applicable, up to the date of the EGM and effective upon the Acceptance Time and (g) other matterscontemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

A more complete description of the reasons that the Wright Board approved the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, includingthe Offer, the Asset Sale and the Mergers, and recommended that Wright shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer is setforth in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on the Schedule 14D-9 that Wright is furnishing to its shareholders in connection with the Offer.

Following the Acceptance Time, except as described below, Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to) provide for a subsequent offering period ofat least ten (10) business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement (the“Subsequent Offering Period”). In the event that prior to the expiration of any such Subsequent Offering Period, Purchaser or Stryker has publiclyannounced its intention to, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate the Asset Sale, Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to)extend the Subsequent Offering Period for at least five (5) business days to permit any remaining minority shareholders to tender their Shares in exchangefor the Offer Consideration (such extension, the “Minority Exit Offering Period”). In the event that promptly following the Expiration Time, Purchaser orStryker has publicly announced its intention to, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate the Mergers (as defined below), Purchaser willnot be required to provide either a Subsequent Offering Period or Minority Exit Offering Period, but may do so if Purchaser chooses. Under nocircumstance will interest be paid on the Offer Consideration paid pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer, any SubsequentOffering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) or any delay in making payment for Shares.

Following the later of the Offer Closing and the closing of any Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period),Stryker or Purchaser may, but is not required to, effectuate or cause to be effectuated a corporate reorganization of or involving Wright and its subsidiaries(the “Post-Offer Reorganization”). The Post-Offer Reorganization will utilize processes available to Purchaser under Dutch and other applicable law aimedat strengthening Stryker’s direct or indirect control over Wright or its assets and business operations. More specifically, the Asset Sale and Liquidation (asdefined below), the Mergers (as defined below) and the Compulsory Acquisition (as defined below) would ensure that Purchaser or one of its affiliatesbecomes the owner of all or substantially all of Wright’s business operations from and after the consummation of such Post-Offer Reorganization. In theevent the Asset Sale and Liquidation (as defined below), the Mergers (as defined below) or the Compulsory Acquisition (as defined below) areconsummated, Wright will either be liquidated, disappear or become wholly owned by Purchaser.

In the event that the Asset Sale and Liquidation (as defined below) is implemented, which is subject to (a) the approval of the Asset Sale Resolutions byWright shareholders at the EGM (or any subsequent EGM) and (b) the Acceptance Time having occurred and the number of Shares validly tenderedpursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn (including Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the MinorityExit Offering Period), together with the Shares owned by Stryker or its wholly owned subsidiaries, representing at least eighty percent (80%) of Wright’sissued and outstanding capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (the “Reorganization Threshold”), any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Sharespursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) will receive for eachShare held immediately prior to completion of the Asset Sale cash in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicablewithholding taxes. Upon consummation of the Asset Sale: (a) Wright will hold only the cash received in the Asset Sale and certain other immaterial assetsand liabilities; (b) Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) will (i) own all of Wright’s business operations and (ii) be the principal shareholder in Wright; and(c) the non-tendering Wright shareholders will continue to own Shares representing, in the aggregate, a minority of the Shares then outstanding. As soon aspracticable following consummation of the Asset Sale, the Liquidator would then complete the liquidation and dissolution of Wright (the “Liquidation”) inaccordance with applicable Dutch procedures, with Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) providing certain funds and indemnities to enable the Liquidatorto make an immediate advance liquidation distribution (the “Second Step Distribution”) to a settlement agent on behalf of each non-tendering Wrightshareholder of an amount in cash for each Share held immediately prior to the

Page 113: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

completion of the Asset Sale equal to the Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, for each Share then owned by suchnon-tendering Wright shareholder. No compensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costs charged by banks inrelation to the transfer of the Second Step Distribution to their bank account or otherwise.

In the event that the Mergers are implemented, which is subject to (a) the approval of the Merger Resolutions by Wright shareholders at the EGM (or anysubsequent EGM) and (b) the Acceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold having been achieved, Wright and Purchaser willcomplete a series of mergers whereby (i) Wright will merge with and into a Luxembourg société anonyme that is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary ofWright (“Wright Luxembourg”) with Wright Luxembourg surviving the merger (the “First-Step Merger”), (ii) Wright Luxembourg will merge with and intoa Bermuda exempted company that is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Wright Luxembourg (“Wright Bermuda”) with Wright Bermuda surviving themerger (the “Second-Step Merger”) and (iii) a Bermuda exempted company formed by Stryker as a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser will merge withand into Wright Bermuda with Wright Bermuda surviving the merger (the “Third-Step Merger” and, together with the First-Step Merger and the Second-Step Merger, the “Mergers”). Upon completion of the Mergers, any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer will nolonger have any equity interest in the surviving entities from such Mergers and will ultimately receive, for each Share held immediately prior to thecompletion of the First Step Merger, cash in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration. Such amount would be without interest and less applicablewithholding taxes. Stryker and Purchaser have no current intention to require the deduction and withholding of any amounts under any tax law, but such taxdeduction and withholding will take place to the extent required under applicable tax law. Upon completion of the Mergers, Wright will be an indirect,wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker. No compensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costs charged by banks inrelation to the transfer of the cash proceeds of the Third-Step Merger to their bank account or otherwise.

In the event that a compulsory acquisition procedure (uitkoopprocedure) of non-tendered Shares as provided by Dutch law (the “Compulsory Acquisition”)is permissible under applicable law and implemented, then Shares held by non-tendering Wright shareholders will be acquired in accordance withSection 2:92a or Section 2:201a of the DCC. In that circumstance, the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal(Gerechtshof Amsterdam) (the “Dutch Court”) will determine the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares. The Dutch Court has sole discretion todetermine such price, and the Dutch Court will select a reference date on which to value the Shares for purposes of determining such price (the “ReferenceDate”). If the Compulsory Acquisition is commenced shortly following the Offer Closing and at the Offer Closing the Purchaser and its affiliates holdninety-five percent (95%) of Wright’s issued and outstanding capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (the “Compulsory Acquisition Threshold”), it isexpected that the Reference Date will be the date of the Offer Closing and that the per Share price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition will be equal to theOffer Consideration. If Purchaser has not achieved the Compulsory Acquisition Threshold at the time of the Offer Closing but does so shortly afterwardsand then commences the Compulsory Acquisition, the Dutch Court will generally use as a Reference Date the earlier of (i) the date on which Purchaserdemonstrates it has achieved the Compulsory Acquisition Threshold and (ii) the date on which the Dutch Court renders an interim judgment preliminarilyallowing the claim for the Compulsory Acquisition. The Share price determined by the Dutch Court may be greater than, equal to or less than the OfferConsideration. Such price will be increased by statutory interest (“Dutch Statutory Interest”) accrued at the rate applicable in the Netherlands (currently twopercent (2%) per annum) from the Reference Date. The end of the period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest would be the date Purchaserpays for the Shares then owned by the non-tendering Wright shareholders (whether directly or through a payment made to the relevant governmentalauthority in the Netherlands). Upon execution (tenuitvoerlegging) of the Dutch Court’s ruling in the Compulsory Acquisition, each non-tendering Wrightshareholder will receive the per Share price determined by the Dutch Court and Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of Wright. If payment byPurchaser is made to the relevant governmental authority in the Netherlands, rather than directly to non-tendering Wright shareholders, such shareholdersmay only seek their consideration directly from such governmental authority in the Netherlands. Upon completion of the Compulsory Acquisition, Wrightwill be an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker. No compensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costscharged by banks in relation to the transfer of the cash proceeds of the Compulsory Acquisition to their bank account or otherwise.

The applicable withholding taxes and other taxes, if any, imposed on non-tendering Wright shareholders in respect of any Post-OfferReorganization may be different from, and greater than, the taxes imposed upon such Wright shareholders had they tendered their Sharespursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period).

It is possible that Purchaser may not be able to, or may elect not to, implement any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization after the consummation of theOffer, or that such Post-Offer Reorganization may be delayed or unable to be completed. Any Post-Offer Reorganization could be the subject of litigation,and a court could delay the Post-Offer Reorganization or prohibit it from occurring on the terms described in this Offer to Purchase, or from occurring at all.Moreover, even if Purchaser is able to effect any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization, the consideration that Wright shareholders receive therefrom may bedifferent than the consideration that they would have received had they tendered their Shares in the Offer (and they may also be subject to additional taxes).

In order for a shareholder to validly tender Shares pursuant to the Offer, either (a) (i) a Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, withany required signature guarantees (or, alternatively an Agent’s Message (as defined in Instruction 2 of the Letter of Transmittal) in lieu of a Letter ofTransmittal in the case of tendering Shares held in “street” name by book-entry transfer); (ii) a confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the Depositary’saccount at the Depository Trust Company of the Shares tendered by book-entry transfer (pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3—“Procedures forAccepting the Offer and Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase); and (iii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, must all bereceived by the Depositary at its addresses set forth on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase, or (b) the tendering shareholder must comply with theguaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3—“Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase. No alternative,conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. Shares tendered by the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will not be deemed validly tendered for purposesof satisfying the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) unless and until such Shares to which such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery relatesand the required documents are received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Time.

Except as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, neither Stryker nor Purchaser will pay any fees or commissions to any broker or dealer or to any other person(other than to the Depositary and the Information Agent) in connection with the solicitation of tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer. Brokers, dealers,commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees will, upon request, be reimbursed by Purchaser for customary mailing and handling expensesincurred by them in forwarding offering materials to their customers. Purchaser will pay all stock transfer taxes applicable to its purchase of Shares pursuantto the Offer, subject to Instruction 5 of the Letter of Transmittal.

To Our Clients:

Enclosed for your consideration are the Offer to Purchase, dated December 13, 2019 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the“Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer”) in connectionwith the offer by Stryker B.V. (“Purchaser”), a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) organizedunder the laws of the Netherlands and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker Corporation, a Michigan corporation (“Stryker”), to purchase all ofthe outstanding ordinary shares, par value €0.03 per share (the “Shares”), of Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company (naamlozevennootschap) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the trade register in the Netherlands under file number 34250781 (“Wright”), at apurchase price of $30.75 per Share, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, to the holders thereof, payable in cash (the “OfferConsideration”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer.

We or our nominees are the holder of record of Shares held for your account. A tender of such Shares can be made only by us as the holder of record andpursuant to your instructions. The Letter of Transmittal accompanying this letter is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by you totender Shares held by us for your account.

We request instructions as to whether you wish us to tender any or all of the Shares held by us for your account, upon the terms and subject to theconditions set forth in the enclosed Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.

Please note carefully the following:

1. The Offer Consideration for the Offer is $30.75 per Share, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, to the holders thereof,payable in cash.

2. The Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares.

3. The Offer is being made pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2019 (as it may be amended from time to time, the

“Purchase Agreement”), by and among Stryker, Purchaser and Wright. Unless the Offer is earlier terminated, the Offer will expire at 9:00a.m., Eastern Time, on February 27, 2020 (the “Expiration Time,”

unless the Offer is extended in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, in which event “Expiration Time” will mean the latest time and dateat which the Offer, as so extended by Purchaser, will expire). The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that, subject to the termsand conditions set forth therein, Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to), (a) at or as promptly as practicable following theExpiration Time (but in any event within two business days thereafter), accept for payment (the time of acceptance for payment, the“Acceptance Time”) and (b) at or as promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Time (but in any event within two (2) business days(calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))thereafter), pay for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as of the Acceptance Time (such time ofpayment, the “Offer Closing”). It is expected that following the Offer Closing, the listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Marketwill be terminated, Wright will no longer be a publicly traded company, and the Shares will be deregistered under the Exchange Act, resultingin the cessation of Wright’s reporting obligations with respect to the Shares with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

After consideration, the board of directors (bestuur) of Wright (the “Wright Board”) has unanimously, among other things,(a) determined that the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Offer, certain of the Post-Offer Reorganization transactions (includingthe Asset Sale, the Liquidation and Second Step Distribution and the Mergers (each as defined below)) and the other transactionscontemplated by the Purchase Agreement are in the best interests of Wright, its businesses and its shareholders, employees and otherrelevant stakeholders, (b) approved and adopted the Purchase Agreement and (c) resolved, on the terms and subject to the conditionsset forth in the Purchase Agreement, to recommend that Wright’s shareholders tender their Shares into the Offer and approve andadopt the matters to be proposed for consideration and approval by Wright’s shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting ofWright shareholders to be held prior to the Expiration Time in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “EGM”).

The Wright Board unanimously recommends that Wright shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares in the Offer.

At the EGM, Wright shareholders will be requested to vote on (a) (i) approval of the sale, transfer and assumption of the business of Wright,including substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Wright, to or by Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) (the “Asset Sale”) subject tothe Acceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold (as defined below) having been achieved and (ii) subject to AssetSale having been completed, the Acceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold (as defined below) having beenachieved, (1) dissolve (ontbinden) Wright in accordance with Section 2:19 of the Dutch Civil Code (the “DCC”) and (2) appoint as liquidator(the “Liquidator”) a foundation (stichting) to be incorporated under Dutch law and approve reimbursement of the Liquidator’s reasonablesalary and costs (provided that such reimbursement will be subject to the approval of certain members of the Wright Board who areindependent from Purchaser and Stryker not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (3) appoint an affiliate of Purchaser asthe custodian of the books and records of Wright in accordance with Section 2:24 of the DCC (collectively, the “Asset Sale Resolutions”), (b)approval of the Mergers (as defined below), subject to the Acceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold having beenachieved, and certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association to determine the compensation to be paid to Wright shareholders whovote against approval of the Mergers and who request compensation in connection with the First-Step Merger (as defined below) inaccordance with Section 2:333h of the DCC (collectively, the “Merger Resolutions”), (c) approval of the statutory spin-off (afsplitsing) ofcertain assets and liabilities of Wright to a wholly owned subsidiary of Wright (the “Demerger Resolutions”), subject to the Offer Closing, orearlier if so agreed by Wright, Stryker and Purchaser, (d) certain amendments to Wright’s articles of association to become effective after theOffer Closing, including, if elected by Purchaser, the conversion of Wright from a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschapor N.V.) to a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V.) under Dutch law, certain otheramendments to become effective after the delisting of the Shares on the Nasdaq and an amendment to align Wright’s financial year with thatreckoned by Purchaser, (e) the appointment of directors designated by Purchaser to the Wright Board to replace certain current directors ofWright who will resign from the Wright Board effective as of the Offer Closing (together with clause (d) the “Governance Resolutions”), (f)the full and final discharge to each member of the Wright Board for their acts of management or supervision, as applicable, up to the date ofthe EGM and effective upon the Acceptance Time and (g) other matters contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

A more complete description of the reasons that the Wright Board approved the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplatedthereby, including the Offer, the Asset Sale and the Mergers, and recommended that Wright shareholders accept the Offer and tender theirShares pursuant to the Offer is set forth in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on the Schedule 14D-9 that Wright is furnishing to itsshareholders in connection with the Offer.

Following the Acceptance Time, except as described below, Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to) provide for a subsequentoffering period of at least ten (10) business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act and in accordance withthe Purchase Agreement (the “Subsequent Offering Period”). In the event that prior to the expiration of any such Subsequent Offering Period,Purchaser or Stryker has publicly announced its intention to, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate the Asset Sale,Purchaser will (and Stryker will cause Purchaser to) extend the Subsequent Offering Period for at least five (5) business days to permit anyremaining minority shareholders to tender their Shares in exchange for the Offer Consideration (such extension, the “Minority Exit OfferingPeriod”). In the event that promptly following the Expiration Time, Purchaser or Stryker has publicly announced its intention to, subject tothe terms of the Purchase Agreement, effectuate the Mergers (as defined below), Purchaser will not be required to provide either a SubsequentOffering Period or Minority Exit Offering Period, but may do so if Purchaser chooses. Under no circumstance will interest be paid on theOffer Consideration paid pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer, any Subsequent Offering Period (as it maybe extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) or any delay in making payment for Shares.

Following the later of the Offer Closing and the closing of any Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority ExitOffering Period), Stryker or Purchaser may, but is not required to, effectuate or cause to be effectuated a corporate reorganization of orinvolving Wright and its subsidiaries (the “Post-Offer Reorganization”). The Post-Offer Reorganization will utilize processes available toPurchaser under Dutch and other applicable law aimed at strengthening Stryker’s direct or indirect control over Wright or its assets andbusiness operations. More specifically, the Asset Sale and Liquidation (as defined below), the Mergers (as defined below) and theCompulsory Acquisition (as defined below) would ensure that Purchaser or one of its affiliates becomes the owner of all or substantially all ofWright’s business operations from and after the consummation of such Post-Offer Reorganization. In the event the Asset Sale and Liquidation(as defined below), the Mergers (as defined below) or the Compulsory Acquisition (as defined below) are consummated, Wright will either beliquidated, disappear or become wholly owned by Purchaser.

In the event that the Asset Sale and Liquidation (as defined below) is implemented, which is subject to (a) the approval of the Asset SaleResolutions by Wright shareholders at the EGM (or any subsequent EGM) and (b) the Acceptance Time having occurred and the number ofShares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn (including Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period,as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), together with the Shares owned by Stryker or its wholly owned subsidiaries,representing at least eighty percent (80%) of Wright’s issued and outstanding capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (the “ReorganizationThreshold”), any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering Period,as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) will receive for each Share held immediately prior to completion of the AssetSale cash in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Upon consummation of theAsset Sale: (a) Wright will hold only the cash received in the Asset Sale and certain other immaterial assets and liabilities; (b) Purchaser (oran affiliate of Purchaser) will (i) own all of Wright’s business operations and (ii) be the principal shareholder in Wright; and (c) thenon-tendering Wright shareholders will continue to own Shares representing, in the aggregate, a minority of the Shares then outstanding. Assoon as practicable following consummation of the Asset Sale, the Liquidator would then complete the liquidation and dissolution of Wright(the “Liquidation”) in accordance with applicable Dutch procedures, with Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) providing certain funds andindemnities to enable the Liquidator to make an immediate advance liquidation distribution (the “Second Step Distribution”) to a settlementagent on behalf of each non-tendering Wright shareholder of an amount in cash for each Share held immediately prior to the completion of theAsset Sale equal to the Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, for each Share then owned by suchnon-tendering Wright shareholder. No compensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costs chargedby banks in relation to the transfer of the Second Step Distribution to their bank account or otherwise.

Page 118: Wright Medical Group N.V....Wright Medical Group N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands registered with the

In the event that the Mergers are implemented, which is subject to (a) the approval of the Merger Resolutions by Wright shareholders at theEGM (or any subsequent EGM) and (b) the Acceptance Time having occurred and the Reorganization Threshold having been achieved,Wright and Purchaser will complete a series of mergers whereby (i) Wright will merge with and into a Luxembourg société anonyme that is adirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wright (“Wright Luxembourg”) with Wright Luxembourg surviving the merger (the “First-Step Merger”),(ii) Wright Luxembourg will merge with and into a Bermuda exempted company that is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of WrightLuxembourg (“Wright Bermuda”) with Wright Bermuda surviving the merger (the “Second-Step Merger”) and (iii) a Bermuda exemptedcompany formed by Stryker as a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser will merge with and into Wright Bermuda with Wright Bermudasurviving the merger (the “Third-Step Merger” and, together with the First-Step Merger and the Second-Step Merger, the “Mergers”). Uponcompletion of the Mergers, any Wright shareholders who did not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer will no longer have any equityinterest in the surviving entities from such Mergers and will ultimately receive, for each Share held immediately prior to the completion of theFirst Step Merger, cash in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration. Such amount would be without interest and less applicable withholdingtaxes. Stryker and Purchaser have no current intention to require the deduction and withholding of any amounts under any tax law, but suchtax deduction and withholding will take place to the extent required under applicable tax law. Upon completion of the Mergers, Wright will bean indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker. No compensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrativecosts charged by banks in relation to the transfer of the cash proceeds of the Third-Step Merger to their bank account or otherwise.

In the event that a compulsory acquisition procedure (uitkoopprocedure) of non-tendered Shares as provided by Dutch law (the “CompulsoryAcquisition”) is permissible under applicable law and implemented, then Shares held by non-tendering Wright shareholders will be acquiredin accordance with Section 2:92a or Section 2:201a of the DCC. In that circumstance, the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of theAmsterdam Court of Appeal (Gerechtshof Amsterdam) (the “Dutch Court”) will determine the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares.The Dutch Court has sole discretion to determine such price, and the Dutch Court will select a reference date on which to value the Shares forpurposes of determining such price (the “Reference Date”). If the Compulsory Acquisition is commenced shortly following the Offer Closingand at the Offer Closing the Purchaser and its affiliates hold ninety-five percent (95%) of Wright’s issued and outstanding capital (geplaatsten uitstaand kapitaal) (the “Compulsory Acquisition Threshold”), it is expected that the Reference Date will be the date of the Offer Closingand that the per Share price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition will be equal to the Offer Consideration. If Purchaser has not achieved theCompulsory Acquisition Threshold at the time of the Offer Closing but does so shortly afterwards and then commences the CompulsoryAcquisition, the Dutch Court will generally use as a Reference Date the earlier of (i) the date on which Purchaser demonstrates it has achievedthe Compulsory Acquisition Threshold and (ii) the date on which the Dutch Court renders an interim judgment preliminarily allowing theclaim for the Compulsory Acquisition. The Share price determined by the Dutch Court may be greater than, equal to or less than the OfferConsideration. Such price will be increased by statutory interest (“Dutch Statutory Interest”) accrued at the rate applicable in the Netherlands(currently two percent (2%) per annum) from the Reference Date. The end of the period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interestwould be the date Purchaser pays for the Shares then owned by the non-tendering Wright shareholders (whether directly or through a paymentmade to the relevant governmental authority in the Netherlands). Upon execution (tenuitvoerlegging) of the Dutch Court’s ruling in theCompulsory Acquisition, each non-tendering Wright shareholder will receive the per Share price determined by the Dutch Court andPurchaser will become the sole shareholder of Wright. If payment by Purchaser is made to the relevant governmental authority in theNetherlands, rather than directly to non-tendering Wright shareholders, such shareholders may only seek their consideration directly fromsuch governmental authority in the Netherlands. Upon completion of the Compulsory Acquisition, Wright will be an indirect, wholly ownedsubsidiary of Stryker. No compensation will be paid to non-tendering Wright shareholders for any administrative costs charged by banks inrelation to the transfer of the cash proceeds of the Compulsory Acquisition to their bank account or otherwise.

The applicable withholding taxes and other taxes, if any, imposed on non-tendering Wright shareholders in respect of any Post-OfferReorganization may be different from, and greater than, the taxes imposed upon such Wright shareholders had they tendered theirShares pursuant to the Offer (including during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit OfferingPeriod).

It is possible that Purchaser may not be able to, or may elect not to, implement any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization after theconsummation of the Offer, or that such Post-Offer Reorganization may be delayed or unable to be completed. Any Post-Offer Reorganizationcould be the subject of litigation, and a court could delay the Post-Offer Reorganization or prohibit it from occurring on the terms described inthis Offer to Purchase, or from occurring at all. Moreover, even if Purchaser is able to effect any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization, theconsideration that Wright shareholders receive therefrom may be different than the consideration that they would have received had theytendered their Shares in the Offer (and they may also be subject to additional taxes).

4. The Offer is subject to certain conditions described in Section 15—“Certain Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase.

5. Tendering Wright shareholders who are record owners of their Shares and who tender directly to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company,LLC (the “Depositary”) will not be obligated to pay brokerage fees or commissions or, except as otherwise provided in Instruction 5 of theLetter of Transmittal, stock transfer taxes with respect to the purchase of Shares by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders who holdtheir Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee should consult such broker, dealer, commercial bank,trust company or other nominee as to whether it charges any service fees or commissions.

If you wish to have us tender any or all of your Shares, then please so instruct us by completing, executing, detaching and returning to us the InstructionForm on the detachable part hereof. An envelope to return your instructions to us is enclosed. If you authorize tender of your Shares, then all such Shareswill be tendered unless otherwise specified on the Instruction Form.

Your prompt action is requested. Your Instruction Form should be forwarded to us in ample time to permit us to submit the tender on your behalf before theExpiration Time.

The Offer is not being made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) Wright shareholders in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offeror the acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. However, Purchaser may, in itsdiscretion, take such action as it deems necessary to make the Offer comply with the laws of any such jurisdiction and extend the Offer to Wrightshareholders in such jurisdiction in compliance with applicable law. In those jurisdictions where applicable law requires the Offer to be made by a licensedbroker or dealer, the Offer will be deemed to be made on behalf of Purchaser by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of suchjurisdiction to be designated by Purchaser.
