Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation by Bylaws; Change in Fiscal


           Year.

On January 28, 2021, the Board of Directors ("Board") of Orthofix Medical Inc. (the "Company") amended the Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") to implement director majority voting in the election of directors in uncontested elections and a mechanism for consideration of the resignation of an incumbent director who does not receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election. Previously, the Bylaws provided that directors in uncontested elections would be elected upon the affirmative vote of a plurality of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote in such election. As revised, the Bylaws now provide that directors in an uncontested election will be elected if they receive more votes "for" their election than are cast "against" their election.

In contested elections where (i)(A) the Secretary of the Company receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board in compliance with the advance notice requirements for stockholder nominees for directors set forth in the Bylaws or otherwise becomes aware that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board and (B) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or prior to the third business day next preceding the date the Company first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders or (ii) the number of nominees for election to the Board at such meeting exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the voting standard for the election of directors will be a plurality of votes represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. In addition, under the amended Bylaws, if an incumbent director is nominated in an uncontested election, the director nominee is required, as a condition of the director's nomination, to submit a conditional and irrevocable letter of resignation to the Chairman of the Board. If an incumbent director nominee does not receive a majority of the votes cast, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee's recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days from the date of certification of the election results. The director whose resignation is being considered will not participate in the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the Board's decision.
