(1) On December 12, 2012, Tru St Partnership LP, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the "Partnership") of which Dr. Richard E. Caruso, a director of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the "Company"), is a partner and the President, assigned its interest in a variable forward sale contract (the "Forward Sale Contract") that was originally entered into on November 23, 2004 with Credit Suisse First Boston Capital LLC ("CSFB") for 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the original terms of the Forward Sale Contract, CSFB intends to sell up to 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock into the public market in accordance with paragraphs (f) and (g) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Dr. Caruso disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the Partnership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
(2) On December 12, 2012, the Partnership assigned its interest in the Forward Sale Contract. Prior to that, the terms of the Forward Sale Contract provided that on January 15, 2013 (the "Settlement Date"), the Partnership would deliver between 322,581 and 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock (or, at the election of the Partnership, the cash equivalent of such shares) to CSFB. The number of shares (or the cash equivalent of such shares) that the Partnership would be required to deliver to CSFB would depend upon the average price of the Company's common stock for the 20 trading days prior to and including the Settlement Date.
