2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial
"The 2020 Plan Amendment (i) authorizes an additional 3,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock... under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan"
Outside Director financial
"maximum aggregate dollar value of equity-based awards and cash compensation that may be granted to any Outside Director"
non-binding advisory vote regulatory
"The Company’s stockholders approved, by non-binding advisory vote, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers."
A non-binding advisory vote is a shareholder vote that expresses investors’ opinion on a proposal (such as executive pay, corporate policy, or governance practices) but does not legally force the company to act. Think of it like a customer survey: it signals whether owners approve or disapprove and can pressure boards and managers to change course, so investors watch the result as an indicator of governance risk and potential future shifts in company strategy or leadership.
broker non-votes regulatory
"For | | Against | | Abstain | | Broker Non-Votes 49,531,111 | | 2,175,335 | | 72,393 | | 2,032,985"
Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.
independent registered public accounting firm regulatory
"ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026."
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.

Approval of an Amendment to the Enovis Corporation 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan

 

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Enovis Corporation (the “Company”) held on May 19, 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders voted on and approved an amendment to the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan Amendment”). The 2020 Plan Amendment was previously adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on March 31, 2026, subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

 

The 2020 Plan Amendment (i) authorizes an additional 3,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for issuance under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan and (ii) increases the maximum aggregate dollar value of equity-based awards and cash compensation that may be granted to any Outside Director (as defined in the 2020 Plan) during any calendar year from $350,000 to $750,000; provided however, that in the calendar year in which an Outside Director is newly-elected or appointed director or newly-designated as lead director or chair, the maximum aggregate dollar value of equity-based and cash compensation granted to the Outside Director may be up to two hundred percent (200%) of the foregoing limit. The additional shares of common stock authorized to be issued under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan pursuant to the 2020 Plan Amendment will be registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8.

 

A description of the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended, is set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”) in the section entitled “Proposal 4: Approval of an amendment to the Enovis Corporation 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan,” which description is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The foregoing description of the 2020 Plan Amendment is qualified by the full text of the 2020 Plan Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
