Effective on March 23, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Shockwave Medical, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, appointed Ms. Sara Toyloy as a Class II member of the Board, to fill a vacancy on the Board resulting from an increase in the number of directors constituting the Board. Ms. Toyloy shall hold office for a term expiring at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders, which is the next stockholder meeting at which Class II directors will be elected. We expect that Ms. Toyloy will be nominated for election with our other Class II directors at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders.

Ms. Toyloy will receive compensation in accordance with the Company’s standard compensatory arrangement for non-employee directors in effect from time to time, pursuant to which Ms. Toyloy will receive an initial grant of 2,143 restricted stock units valued at approximately $250,000, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 23, 2021 of $116.64, and an annual cash retainer in the amount of $45,000 plus an additional cash retainer for serving on the Company’s audit committee, in the amount of $10,000. Ms. Toyloy and the Company have also entered into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for directors and executive officers.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Toyloy and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Toyloy was selected as a director. Ms. Toyloy has not been involved in any related person transactions with the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

On March 25, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Ms. Toyloy to the Board. A copy of that press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
