At an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual General Meeting”) of Wright Medical Group N.V.

The Amended and Restated ESPP incorporates several amendments to the prior Tornier N.V. 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, including, among others:
| • | an increase in the number of Wright ordinary shares available for issuance and sale under the plan from 333,333 to 550,000 shares; |
| • | a new “look-back” provision to determine the per share purchase price based on 85% of the closing sale price of Wright ordinary shares on the first or last trading day of the offering period, whichever is lower; |
| • | a new limit of 100,000 shares on the aggregate number of Wright ordinary shares that may be sold to all participants during any one offering period; |
| • | an increase in the per participant share limit from 833 to 1,000 Wright ordinary shares per offering period; |
| • | an increase in the contribution limit from 10% to 20% of a participant’s eligible compensation (subject to the statutory U.S. dollar limit and per participant share limit); |
| • | the inclusion of additional types of compensation eligible to be directed toward share purchases; |
| • | the elimination of a participant’s ability to increase or decrease his or her contribution rate during an offering period; |
| • | the elimination of mandatory holding periods; and |
| • | a new mandatory jurisdiction provision which requires that all plan issues be resolved under the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of the State of Delaware in the United States of America. |
A copy of the Amended and Restated ESPP is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the Amended and Restated ESPP is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the specific language in the Amended and Restated ESPP.
