indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking

"REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES"
ZimVie Inc. (the "Registrant") filed a Registration Statement on Form
S-8
(File
No. 333-263069)
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on February 28, 2022 (the "Initial Registration Statement"), which registered shares of the
Registrant's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), available for issuance under certain equity compensation plans of the Registrant, including the ZimVie Inc. 2022 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2022

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors
and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") permits a corporation to provide
in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the
3
DGCL, relating to unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the "Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation") contains such a provision. Any amendment to or repeal of such provision will not eliminate or reduce any right or
protection of a director of the Registrant in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for such provision, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment or repeal.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or any individual serving at the corporation's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another organization, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding") (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation—a "derivative action"), against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such Proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking
indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by any
by-law,
agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that each person who was or is made
a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or, while a
director or officer of the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another organization, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, will be indemnified and held
harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may thereafter be amended to provide broader indemnification rights than authorized prior to such amendment. The Registrant will indemnify such persons
against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as in effect from time to
time) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith if the following standards are met:
•
such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
Registrant's best interests; and
•
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful.
Section 145 of the DGCL also permits a corporation to pay expenses of defense incurred by a
director or officer in defending a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt (in the case of a current director or officer) of an undertaking to repay any amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains such a provision.
Such rights are not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or thereafter acquire under any statute, any provision of the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Registrant's amended and restated bylaws (the "Amended and Restated Bylaws"), or any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation also specifically authorizes the Registrant to maintain insurance and to grant similar indemnification rights, and rights to have the Registrant pay the expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its
final disposition, to its employees or agents.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
officers that provide the Registrant's directors and officers with further indemnification and advancement of expenses, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
4
In addition, the Registrant has a directors' and officers' liability policy that
insures against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, subject to applicable retentions.
The foregoing
descriptions of certain provisions of the DGCL and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Registration Statement, and the arrangements
referred to above, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration
Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See the Exhibit
Index immediately preceding the signature page hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(A)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement.
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.
provided
,
however
, that
paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
5
(B)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(C)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
