Announcement of New Chief Financial Officer

The Board of Directors of QuidelOrtho Corporation (the “Company”) has appointed Micah Young to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and principal financial officer, effective as of July 6, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). Mr. Young will succeed Joseph M. Busky, who previously announced his plans to retire, as disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 13, 2026. Mr. Busky has agreed to continue to serve in his current role through the Effective Date, and in connection therewith, is expected to enter into a transition and retirement agreement to provide for the smooth and orderly transition of his duties.

Mr. Young (age 48) most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Masimo Corporation (formerly, Nasdaq: MASI), a global medical technology company, from October 2017 until Masimo’s acquisition by Danaher Corporation in June 2026. In this role, Mr. Young was responsible for finance and accounting functions, as well as investor relations, information technology and corporate development. From 2009 to 2017, Mr. Young served in various finance roles at NuVasive, Inc. (formerly, Nasdaq: NUVA), a medical device company focused on the design, development and marketing of products for the surgical treatment of spine disorders, including most recently as Vice President, Finance. From 2002 to 2009, Mr. Young held various accounting and finance positions with Zimmer Holdings, Inc., a company focused on the design, development, manufacture and marketing of orthopedic reconstructive, spinal and trauma devices, dental implants and related surgical products. Prior to his time at Zimmer Holdings, Inc., Mr. Young was an auditor at Deloitte & Touche LLP from 2000 to 2002. He holds a B.S. in Accounting and Criminal Justice from Indiana Wesleyan University and is a Certified Public Accountant (inactive).

Employment Offer Letter and Agreements with Micah Young

The Company and Mr. Young have entered into an employment offer letter, dated June 22, 2026 (the “Offer Letter”), pursuant to which Mr. Young is entitled to receive (i) an annual base salary of $750,000 and (ii) an annual target cash bonus opportunity of 100% of base salary.

Under the Offer Letter, Mr. Young will also receive severance and change in control protection consistent with other arrangements with Company executive officers pursuant to a Severance and Change in Control Agreement (the “Severance and CIC Agreement”), substantially in the form as filed as Exhibit 10.15 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2025 filed on February 19, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). The Severance and CIC Agreement provides for the payment of severance benefits if (1) the executive’s employment is terminated without Cause (as defined therein) more than 30 days prior to or more than two years following a Change in Control (as defined therein) (a “Non-CIC Qualifying Termination”) or (2) the executive’s employment is terminated within two years following or 30 days prior to a Change in Control (a “CIC Qualifying Termination”) for any reason other than the executive’s voluntary resignation, the executive’s death or permanent disability, or our termination of the executive for Cause.

In the event of a CIC Qualifying Termination, Mr. Young would generally be entitled to the Severance Benefits, as well as full vesting and acceleration of all unvested RSUs, stock options and other equity awards.

Under the Offer Letter, Mr. Young will also be provided with indemnification consistent with other arrangements with Company executive officers pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement, substantially in the form as filed as Exhibit 10.14 to the Annual Report, and he will be subject to the Company’s standard form of Confidential Information, Inventions, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Competition Agreement.

We are confident you will find your new role to be one in which you can make significant contributions to the Company as well as enhance your work experience and abilities.

Accordingly, you will not be eligible to earn or be paid overtime pay. Your work hours also may vary from week to week depending on the Company’s business needs.
