Insights

Corporate actions analyst

Insider filing reflects equity cash-out at $19.00 per share.

The transaction records the closing mechanics of ZimVie’s merger: all common shares converted into a $19.00 cash right as of October 20, 2025. Insider equity awards accelerated and were canceled for cash based on the same per‑share consideration.

The filing lists 13,072.965 deferred share units and 57,728 restricted stock units for the reporting person, both disposed (D). This is administrative confirmation of award treatment at closing, not a new issuance.

Future outcomes hinge on the acquirer’s post‑closing plans; this filing does not address them and focuses solely on the cash-out terms and award conversion at the effective time.

Explanation of Responses:

1. This Form 4 reports securities disposed of pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated July 20, 2025, by and among the Issuer, Zamboni Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and Zamboni MergerCo Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("MergerCo"), pursuant to which, on October 20, 2025 (the "Effective Time"), MergerCo merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the Effective Time, each share of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), reported on this Form 4 was converted into the right to receive $19.00 in cash (the "Merger Consideration"), without interest and subject to any required tax withholding, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement. From and after the Effective Time, all such shares of Common Stock were no longer outstanding and were automatically canceled.

2. At the Effective Time, each deferred share unit (whether settled in cash or in shares of Common Stock, including any such deferred stock unit resulting from the reinvestment of dividend equivalents) (each, a "Deferred Share Unit") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time vested in full (to the extent then-unvested) and was canceled and converted into the right to receive cash, without interest and subject to applicable tax withholding and deductions, in an amount equal to the product, rounded to the nearest cent, of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Deferred Share Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Merger Consideration.

3. At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit with respect to Common Stock (each, a "Restricted Stock Unit") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time vested in full (to the extent then-unvested) and was canceled and converted into the right to receive cash, without interest and subject to applicable tax withholding and deductions, in an amount equal to the product, rounded to the nearest cent, of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Merger Consideration. Each Restricted Stock Unit represented a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock.

4. As required by the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer accelerated the vesting, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, contingent upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, of all of the outstanding and unvested equity awards held by Dr. Kuntz.
