OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS

A VOTE IN FAVOR OF“FOR” EACH OF THE THREE NAMED NOMINEES.

10CLASS II DIRECTOR NOMINEES

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CERTAIN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS

This section describes key corporate governance guidelines and practices that we have adopted. Complete copies of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the charters of the committees of the Board and our Code of Ethics and Conduct, described below, can be found in the Governance section of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.inarimedical.com. Alternatively, you can request a copy of any of these documents free of charge by writing to: Angela Ahmad, General Counsel & Secretary, c/o Inari Medical, Inc., 9 Parker,6001 Oak Canyon, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618. Information on or accessible through our website is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement.

BOARD COMPOSITION

Our Board of Directors currently consists of sevennine members. In accordance with our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, our directors are divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, our directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. Our current directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective terms. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of their successor, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board has affirmatively determined that all of the nominees and continuing directors, other than Mr. Hoffman, are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards and relevant securities and other laws, rules and regulations regarding the definition of “independent” (the “Independent Directors”). In making these determinations, our Board of Directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and any transactions involving them described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions”. There are no family relationships between any director and any of our executive officers.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

The Board believes that it is important to retain the flexibility to allocate the responsibilities of the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in any manner that it determines to be in the best interests of the Company at any point in time.

The Board reviews its leadership structure periodically as part of its annual self-assessment process. In addition, the Board continues to monitor developments in corporate governance as well as the approaches our peers undertake. The Board believes that the current Board leadership structure, with Mr. Milder serving as our Chair and Mr. Hoffman serving as our Chief Executive Officer, provides effective independent oversight of management. Our Independent Directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside of our Company, while Mr. Hoffman brings Company-specific experience, expertise and leadership.

11

The Board does not have a lead Independent Director since our Chair is independent. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Independent Directors meet in executive session without non-Independent Directors or management present on a regularly scheduled basis, but no less than twice per year. The Board, including each of its committees, also has complete and open access to any member of the Company’s management and the authority to retain independent advisors as the Board or such committee deems appropriate. In addition, all members of the audit committee, the nominating and corporate governance committee and the compensation committee are Independent Directors, and the committee chairs have authority to hold executive sessions without management and non-Independent Directors present.

BOARD DIVERSITY

We consider diversity, such as gender, race and ethnicity, in identifying director nominees and view such diversity characteristics as meaningful factors to consider, but do not have a formal diversity policy. The following table shows an overview of the current composition of our Board:

Procedures of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

In connection with nominating directors for re-election at the Annual Meeting and periodically throughout the year, the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee considers the composition of the Board and each committee of the Board to evaluate its effectiveness and whether changes should be considered to either the Board or any of the committees. In support of this process, the Board has determined that the Board as a whole must have the right diversity, mix of characteristics and skills for the optimal functioning of the Board in its oversight of our Company. The Board considers the following factors and qualifications, without limitation:

14

Pursuant to the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee charter, the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee periodically reviews the composition of the Board in light of then current challenges and needs of the Board and the Company and determines whether it may be appropriate to add or remove individuals after considering issues of judgment, diversity, skills, background and experience. Although the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy regarding diversity on the Board, the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee is sensitive to the importance of nominating persons with different perspectives, backgrounds and experience to enhance the deliberation and decision-making processes of the Board. The nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee also considers applicable laws and regulations, such as recently enacted legislation in California which requires exchange-listed companies headquartered in California with boards with six or more members to have a minimum of three women directors and at least one director from an “underrepresented community” by December 31, 2021. We have two women directors and the nominating and corporate governance committee has commenced the process of identifying potential additional qualified Board members.regulations.

Once the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee and the Board determine that it is appropriate to add a new director, either as a replacement or as a new position, the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee uses a flexible set of procedures in selecting individual director candidates. This flexibility allows the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee to adjust the process to best satisfy the objectives it is attempting to accomplish in any director search. The first step in the general process is to identify the type of candidate the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee may desire for a particular opening, including establishing the specific target skill areas, experiences and backgrounds that are to be the focus of a director search. The nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee may consider candidates recommended by management, by members of the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committee,Corporate Governance Committee, by the Board, by stockholders or by a third party it may engage to conduct a search for possible candidates.

Once candidates are identified, the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee conducts an evaluation of qualified candidates. The evaluation generally includes interviews and background and reference checks. There is no difference in the evaluation process of a candidate recommended by a stockholder as compared to the evaluation process of a candidate identified by any of the other means described above. In identifying and evaluating potential nominees to serve as directors, the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee will examine each nominee on a case-by-case basis regardless of who recommended the nominee and take into account all factors it considers appropriate.

If the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee determines that a candidate should be nominated as a candidate for election to the Board, the candidate’s nomination is then recommended to the Board, and the directors may in turn conduct their own review to the extent they deem appropriate. When the Board has agreed upon a candidate, such candidate is recommended to the stockholders for election at an annual meeting of stockholders or appointed as a director by a vote of the Board as appropriate.

During 2021, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducted two searches. The first search was conducted by the committee, who received recommendations for potential candidates from the members of the Board and senior management. In June 2021, the Board elected Ms. Chambers to the Board. Ms. Chambers was initially introduced to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by Mr. Hoffman. For the second search, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee engaged a third-party search firm to assist the committee in a search for a director candidate. Members of the Board provided recommendations of potential candidates to the search firm. Following a review of potential candidates, in October 2021 the Board elected Mr. Mead to the Board. Mr. Mead was recommended to the search firm by two directors.

All of the current Class III directors have been recommended by the nominatingNominating and corporate governance committeeCorporate Governance Committee to the Board for reelection as our directors at the Annual Meeting, and the Board has approved such recommendations.

We believe this change continued to move the NEOs’ incentive opportunity and target total cash compensation closer to the midpoint of the range that our peer companies award their similarly situated executives.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. In order to align the long-term interests of our executives and stockholders, support retention and provide motivational value, in March 2021 the Committee granted long-term incentive compensation in the form of RSU awards under our 2020 Plan that may be settled for shares of our common stock. As with base salaries and target incentive opportunities, the value of these awards are closer to the median (instead of the 25th percentile) of the long-term incentive opportunities awarded by our peer group companies to their similarly situated executives. The RSUs each vest over a total of four years, provided the executive continues to provide services to the Company through each vesting date.

Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

We endeavor to maintain sound executive compensation policies and practices, including compensation-related corporate governance standards, consistent with our executive compensation philosophy. During 2021, the following executive compensation policies and practices were in place, including both policies and practices we have implemented to drive performance and policies and practices that either prohibit or minimize behaviors that we do not believe serve our stockholders’ long-term interests:

Stockholder Advisory Votes on Named Executive Officer Compensation

We are not required to hold a Say-on-Pay vote in 2022, however, at the Annual Meeting, we will ask our stockholders to vote on a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs (commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” vote); and a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes (commonly known as a “Say-When-on-Pay” vote).

PROCESS FOR DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION

Role of Compensation Committee

The Committee establishes our compensation philosophy and objectives, determines the structure, components and other elements of executive compensation, and reviews and approves the compensation of the NEOs or recommends it for approval by the Board. The Committee structures the executive compensation program to accomplish its articulated compensation objectives in light of the compensation philosophy described above.

Role of the Executive Officers

The Committee works with our CEO to set the target total direct compensation of each of our NEOs and other members of our executive team, other than with respect to his own compensation. As part of this process, our CEO evaluates each other NEO, determines his recommendations about the target compensation of each such NEO, and delivers his recommendations to the Committee. The Committee gives significant weight to the recommendations of the CEO in light of his greater familiarity with the day-to-day performance of his direct reports and the importance of incentive compensation in driving the performance of the business. Nevertheless, the Committee makes the ultimate determination regarding the compensation of the executive officers.

The Committee discusses and formulates the compensation recommendation for our CEO, who does not play any role with respect to any matter affecting his own compensation.

Additionally, to design and develop the compensation program, the Committee coordinates and collaborates with the finance and legal teams as appropriate. This group supports the Committee through the preparation of analyses of financial data, peer comparisons and other materials, and helps to implement the Committee’s decisions.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Committee recognizes that there is value in procuring independent, objective expertise and counsel in connection with fulfilling its duties and has the authority to retain an “emerging growth company”independent compensation consultant to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities and duties.

Since 2019, the Committee has engaged Compensia as its independent compensation consultant for compensation decisions. Compensia reports directly to the Committee, and the Committee has the sole authority to retain, terminate and obtain the advice of Compensia.

The Committee worked with Compensia to develop a peer group, provide a competitive market analysis of the base salary, annual cash incentive awards and long-term incentive compensation of our executive officers compared to the compensation peer group, report on share utilization, and review other market practices and trends.

While the Committee took into consideration the review and recommendations of Compensia when making decisions about our executive compensation program, ultimately, the Committee made its own independent decisions in determining our executive officers’ compensation.

Other than advising the Committee as described above, Compensia did not provide any additional services to Inari in 2021.The Committee assessed the independence of Compensia and each other adviser and outside legal counsel that provide advice to the Committee pursuant to SEC and Nasdaq rules. In doing so, the Committee considered each of the factors set forth by the SEC and Nasdaq with respect to an adviser’s independence.

Compensation Peer Group and Peer Selection Process

The Committee believes that obtaining relevant market and data is of paramount importance in the executive compensation determination. Such information provides helpful context and a reference point when making compensation decisions. The Committee also recognizes the unique aspects of Inari and our business that may ultimately drive compensation decisions that differ from our peers. The Committee takes into consideration the structure and components of, and the amounts paid under, the executive compensation programs of other comparable peer companies. This information is derived from public filings and other sources when making decisions about the structure and component mix of our executive compensation program.

In May 2020, we completed our initial public offering. The Committee envisions that, over time, as we move forward as a public company, our legacy executive compensation programs and the amount and forms of compensation should evolve with the progression of our business in order to more closely tie executive compensation with long-term shareholder value creation.

In July 2020, with assistance from Compensia, the Committee developed and approved a compensation peer group as a source of competitive market data for evaluating the compensation of our executive officers and to support pay decisions for 2021. The peer group was comprised of comparable medical device and life sciences tools and services companies. In selecting peers, the Committee also generally sought to include companies with annual revenue less than approximately $300 million and market capitalization generally ranging from $575 million to $9.2 billion. The 15 companies included in our peer group developed in 2020 for 2021 decisions related to our executive and director compensation program were:

The peer group noted above was used to inform the Committee’s decisions relating to the 2021 base salary and annual performance-based incentive compensation awarded to our executive officers (each as discussed further below). These compensation elements were approved at or near the beginning of our fiscal 2021 year. The Committee has committed to review the peer group annually. In addition to the selected peer groups, as discussed above, the Committee references general and specific industry surveys from other sources.

With the assistance of Compensia, the Committee uses data from the peer groups to establish a market reference for each executive position. For 2021, the Committee determined that the appropriate market reference continues to approximate the market 50th percentile, and that an executive officer’s target and actual total direct compensation may be above or below this reference depending on individual factors and performance. We do not formally set total compensation, or any specific element of compensation, at a specific percentile of the peer groups for that position. Instead, the market data is used as a reference point to provide information on the range of competitive pay levels and current compensation practices in our industry.

Stockholder Engagement

This year, we will hold our first stockholder vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs and to determine the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on our executive compensation program. We are committed to ongoing engagement with our investors on all appropriate matters, including executive compensation and governance. In 2021, we engaged with holders representing a majority of our common stock

on a regular basis. Following the advisory votes at this Annual Meeting, the Committee will consider stockholder input in evaluating the design of our executive compensation and the compensation decisions for each of the NEOs.

ELEMENTS OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

In order to achieve our objectives, the Committee utilizes the components of compensation set forth below. The Committee regularly reviews all components of the program in order to verify that each component is aligned with our strategy and ensure that each executive officer’s total compensation is consistent with our compensation philosophy.

The primary elements of our NEOs’ compensation and the main objectives of each are:

In addition, our NEOs are eligible to participate in our health and welfare programs and our 401(k) plan and ESPP on the same basis as our other employees. Each of these elements of compensation for fiscal 2021 is described further below.

Fiscal 2021 Target Pay Mix

By emphasizing annual and long-term incentives, our fiscal 2021 pay mix reflects our executive compensation objectives, advances our pay-for-performance philosophy, and aligns executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders.

The following graphics show the allocation of 2021 target total direct compensation payable to our CEO and the average 2021 target total direct compensation payable to our other NEOs. The Committee allocated compensation among base salary, target annual cash incentive amounts, and the grant date fair value of the long-term incentive in the form of RSUs.

A significant majority of 2021 target executive compensation opportunity is at-risk variable pay. This approach is consistent with our focus on pay-for-performance. We consider compensation to be “at-risk” if it is subject to operating performance or if its value depends on the value of our common stock. In fiscal 2021, 80% of our CEO’s target total direct compensation was at-risk compensation, and on average, 68% of the target total direct compensation of our other NEOs was at-risk.

Base Salaries

The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. The base salaries of our NEOs are an important part of their total compensation package. Base salary is a predetermined and fixed component of our compensation program. In February 2021, the Committee approved base salary increases for Messrs. Hoffman, Hill and Hykes in order to better align each executive’s total compensation with that of similarly situated executives at our publicly-traded peers.

The following table sets forth the base salaries of our named executive officers for fiscal 2020 and 2021:

To provide compensation competitive with our peer companies, the Committee adjusted 2022 base salaries to continue moving them from approximately the 25th percentile toward the median of the base salaries paid by our peer group companies to their similarly situated executives as follows: Mr. Hoffman - $705,000; Mr. Hykes - $500,000; Mr. Hill and Dr. Tu - $485,000.

Annual Incentive Cash Compensation

During 2021, all of our employees at a manager level or higher, including our NEOs, were eligible to receive performance-based cash incentive compensation. We believe that performance-based cash incentives motivate our employees, including our NEOs, to achieve both annual and long-term goals. This approach is critical to the execution of our overall business strategy which, if achieved, has the potential to significantly enhance shareholder value. We also believe that it is important to reward all contributions to success and, as such, we paid cash awards to all employees for 2021.

Target Opportunities. Consistent with our compensation philosophy and objectives, the Committee generally sets the target incentive opportunity within the meaningmedian range of annual cash incentive target pay for comparable executives at our peer groups. For 2021, based on a review of the JOBS Act,market data, the Committee approved an increase to Mr. Hoffman’s target incentive opportunity from 75% to 85% of Mr. Hoffman’s base salary. The 2021 target incentive opportunities for the remaining NEOs were unchanged from fiscal year 2020. The 2021 target incentive opportunity for each of our NEOs is as follows:

Performance Measures. For fiscal 2021, the amount of the payout, if any, was based upon the overall financial performance, progress on growth drivers and other contributions of the NEOs, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. For 2022, the Committee has adopted an annual incentive program for NEOs with pre-set financial and corporate objectives and the amount of the payout, if any, will be based upon the achievement of such pre-established objectives.

Payout Determination. Because of our period of significantly rapid growth and our IPO at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no pre-set corporate metrics for 2021 performance. At its December 2021 meeting, the Committee reviewed and confirmed our substantial revenue and procedure growth and other notable corporate achievements. As a result of significantly exceeding expectations, the Committee then determined that the payout for the NEOs and the pool for other participants should be 130% of target.

The Committee presented the determination of the overall achievement percentage to the Board for its review and approval. The actual incentive payouts for each executive were determined by multiplying the executive officer’s base salary by the target incentive opportunity, and then by the overall achievement percentage.

The following table summarizes the total 2021 cash compensation earned by our NEOs:

Long-Term Incentives

As described above, the third and largest primary component of our executive compensation program is long-term equity incentives. The Committee designed this long-term incentive opportunity to motivate executive officers to achieve multi-year strategic goals and to deliver sustained, long-term value to stockholders.

Our long-term incentives create a strong link between payouts and performance and align our executive officers’ interests with the interests of our stockholders. Long-term equity incentives promote retention, as executive officers will only receive value if they remain employed by us over the required term. In addition, they foster an ownership culture among our executive officers by making executive officers’ stockholders with a personal stake in the value they intend to create.

RSUs. In 2021, the Committee’s long-term incentive grants took the form of RSUs. Consistent with the market practice of similar, newly-public companies in our industry, and in order tofocus executives on growth and increasing stockholder value at this early stage of our development, the Committee has designed its choice of equity vehicle to motivate stock price appreciation over thelong term through RSUs.

The Committee envisions that, over time, as the Company evolves and grows, the executive compensation program and the amount and forms of compensation will evolve. In future years, the Committee will continue to evaluate and select the form and mix of long-term incentive compensation (which may include stock options, RSUs, performance shares, or other long-term incentives) that it believes best accomplishes the goals discussed above.

Target Opportunities. The Committee established target long-term incentive opportunities for eachof the named NEOs in January 2021. In establishing the size of these long-term incentiveopportunities, and given our very strong stock price performance, the Committee intended to provide long-term incentive opportunities that are closer to the median (instead of the 25th percentile) of the long-term incentive opportunities awarded by our peer group companies to their similarly situated executives.

The table below shows the values for the long-term incentives that were provided to our NEOs during fiscal 2021:

The Committee intends to make grants of long-term incentive awards annually. Special, one-time awards are used in limited circumstances, including, as may be necessary to attract, retain and motivate experienced and well-qualified executive officers, as recognition of an increase in the scope of an executive’s responsibilities or major accomplishments.

OTHER ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND OTHER ASPECTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Stock Ownership Guidelines

To align our executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders, we have optedmaintain stock ownership guidelines requiring that our Chief Executive Officer hold Inari shares with a value equal to three times (3x) his base salary and each other executive officer hold Inari shares with a value equal to one times (1x) their base salary. The Committee measures compliance with the guidelines as of the last business day of each calendar year based on the closing price of our common stock during the 30-day period through and including the last business day of the calendar year.

For purposes of determining compliance, the following shares are treated as owned: (i) shares of our common stock owned individually, either directly or indirectly; and (ii) shares of our common stock owned jointly or separately by a spouse, domestic partner and/or minor children. No other rights to acquire shares of our common stock (including unexercised stock options or unvested RSUs) are considered shares of our common stock owned for purposes of satisfying the ownership requirement.

Should an executive officer fail to comply with the reducedapplicable ownership requirement, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may review and address any such shortfall in ownership as it deems appropriate.

As of December 31, 2021, each of our executive officers, including our NEOs, met their respective ownership requirement.

Retirement Plans

We currently maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies pursuantpackage and further incentivizes our employees, including our NEOs, in accordance with our compensation policies. In 2021, we matched 100% of the first $3,000 or 4% of eligible employee contributions to the JOBS Act,401(k) plan, which requirematching contributions vest immediately.

Employee Benefits and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

All of our full-time employees, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including (a) medical, dental and vision benefits; (b) medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts; (c) long-term disability insurance; and (d) life insurance. In addition, all of our full-time employees can elect to participate in our employee stock purchase program.

No Tax Gross-Ups

We do not make gross-up payments to cover our NEOs’ personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation disclosureor perquisites paid or provided by our company.

Severance and Other Benefits Payable Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

Pursuant to their respective employment agreements and/or equity award agreements, each of our NEOsis entitled to certain payments and benefits in certain termination situations or upon a change in control. See “— Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-In-Control” for more information on these payments and benefits.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Accounting Standards

ASC Topic 718 requires us to calculate the grant date “fair value” of our principalstock-based awards using a variety of assumptions. ASC Topic 718 also requires us to recognize an expense for the fair value of equity-based compensation awards. Grants of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs and performance units under our equity incentive award plans will be accounted for under ASC Topic 718. The Committee will regularly consider the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to our equity incentive award plans and programs. As accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs to appropriately align the accounting expense of our equity awards with our overall executive officercompensation philosophy and objectives.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our Board has adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The policy prohibits our directors, officers and employees from engaging in hedging transactions; short sales; transactions puts, calls and other derivatives securities or instruments designed to increase in value as a result of, or hedge or offset any decrease in, the two most highly compensated executive officers other thanmarket value of the our principal executive officer.securities, day trading and arbitrage trading and purchases of securities on margin. In limited circumstances and subject to pre-approval, pledging of securities and contributing company securities in exchange for interests in private exchange traded funds for diversification purposes may be permitted.

Compensation Committee Report

The Committee reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with the management of the Company. Based on this review and these discussions, we have recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s 2022 Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference into the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
