On June 5, 2023, Joe Kiani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Masimo Corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to a Limited Waiver (the “Waiver”), unconditionally, irrevocably and permanently waived his right, pursuant to Mr. Kiani’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with the Company, dated as of November 4, 2015, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”), to assert that a “Change in Control” has occurred pursuant to Section 9(iii) of the Employment Agreement unless the individuals who constituted the Board at the beginning of the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding such change, as defined in Section 9(iii), cease for any reason to constitute one-half or more of the directors then in office. In addition, Mr. Kiani agreed that, for purposes of determining whether such a “Change in Control” has occurred, any individual elected to the Board at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders will be treated as a member of the Board at the beginning of the twelve (12) month period. The foregoing description of the Waiver is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Waiver, which is furnished as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
