CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Code of Ethics and Conduct; Corporate Governance Guidelines
We have adopted a written code of ethics and conduct that applies to our directors, executive officers and employees, as well as corporate governance guidelines. Copies of the code of ethics and conduct and our corporate governance guidelines are posted on the Investor Relations (Investors > Corporate Governance > Documents & Charters) section of our website, which is located at www.organogenesis.com. If we make any substantive amendments to the code of ethics and conduct or grant any waivers from the code of ethics and conduct for any executive officer or director, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website or on a Form 8-K.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These directors, executive officers and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms received by us, and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that, during fiscal year 2020, our directors, executive officers and ten-percent stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that, due to administrative errors, a Form 4 with respect to the exercise of a stock option by Mr. Montecalvo and a Form 3 with respect to Mr. Ades appointment as a director were not timely filed. These reports have been subsequently filed.

Controlled Company Exemption
The Company is a controlled company under the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) listing rules because Alan A. Ades, Albert Erani and Glenn H. Nussdorf, current and former members of our board of directors, together with Dennis Erani, Starr Wisdom and certain of their respective affiliates, which we refer to collectively as the Controlling Entities, control over 50% of the voting power for the election of the Companys directors. As a controlled company, the Company is not required to have and does not have (i) a majority of independent directors on its board of directors, (ii) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors or (iii) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.
Audit Committee
The Company has a standing audit committee consisting of Mr. Leibowitz, its chairperson, Mr. Mackie and Mr. Tamaroff. The audit committee is responsible for, among other matters: (i) reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in the Companys Form 10-K; (ii) discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the Companys financial statements; (iii) discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies; (iv) monitoring the independence of the independent auditor; (v) verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law; (vi) reviewing and approving related-party transactions (as required pursuant to the Companys related party transactions policy); (vii) inquiring and discussing with management the Companys compliance with applicable laws and regulations; (viii) pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by the Companys independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed; (ix) appointing or replacing the independent auditor; (x) determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; and (xi) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding the Companys financial statements or accounting policies.
Our board of directors has determined that each member of the audit committee: (i) satisfies the Nasdaq independence standards and the independence standards of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act and (ii) meets the requirements for financial literacy under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. The board of directors has also determined that Mr. Leibowitz and Mr. Mackie each qualify as an audit committee financial expert, as defined by applicable rules of Nasdaq and the SEC.
Compensation Committee
The Company has a standing compensation committee consisting of Mr. Mackie, its chairperson, Mr. Alan Ades and Mr. Leibowitz (who replaced Mr. Albert Erani as a member of the compensation committee in November 2020). The compensation committee is responsible for recommending to the board of directors the compensation philosophy and policies of the Company in general and for its executive officers in particular. The objectives of the Companys senior management compensation program are to align compensation with business objectives, individual performance, and the interests of the Companys stockholders; motivate and reward high levels of performance; recognize and reward the achievement of Company goals; and enable the Company to attract, retain, and reward the highest quality executive talent. Among other things, the compensation committee: (i) reviews and recommends for approval by the board of directors, executive officer compensation, including salary, bonus, and short term and long term incentive compensation levels (including equity compensation) and the corporate goals and objectives relevant to executive officer compensation; (ii) oversees the evaluation of the chief executive officer and other executive officers of the Company; (iii) retains a recognized independent compensation consultant (that meets certain independence factors) to assess the competitiveness of the Companys compensation levels and practice applicable to the executive officers and directors of the Company; (iv) reviews and makes recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the Companys employee benefit plans, including all incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans; (v) reviews and makes recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the compensation of non-employee directors, committee chairpersons, and committee
4
members, consistent with any applicable requirements of the Nasdaq rules; (vi) reviews any stockholder proposals related to compensation matters and makes recommendations to the board of directors regarding those proposals; (vii) prepares and approves for inclusion in the Companys annual proxy statement and annual report on Form 10-K the report on executive compensation, if required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; (viii) to the extent that the Company is required to include a compensation discussion and analysis (CD&A) section in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K or annual proxy statement, reviews and discusses with the Companys management the CD&A, and based on such review and discussion, determines whether to recommend to the board of directors that the CD&A be so included; and (ix) reviews and discusses with management the Companys plans and practices to provide that our compensation programs, plans or practices do not encourage employees to take unnecessary risk that could threaten the Company.
Director Nominations
Each year, the board of directors proposes a slate of director nominees to stockholders for election at the annual meeting of stockholders. Stockholders may also recommend candidates for election to the board of directors, as described below. The board of directors screens potential director candidates and considers criteria including experience, qualifications, attributes, skills, diversity and other characteristics in the context of the current make-up of the board of directors and the needs of the board of directors given the circumstances of the Company.
The board of directors values the input of stockholders in identifying director candidates. Accordingly, the board of directors considers recommendations for director candidates submitted by stockholders using substantially the same criteria it applies to recommendations from directors and members of management. Any such nominations should be submitted to the board of directors by mail in care of the Companys Corporate Secretary, at 85 Dan Road, Canton, Massachusetts 02021 and be accompanied by the information required by the Bylaws. The written recommendation should be submitted within the time frame described in the Bylaws.
Pursuant to the terms of a Stockholders Agreement by and among Avista Capital Partners IV, L.P. and Avista Capital Partners IV (Offshore), L.P. (collectively, the PIPE Investors) and certain of the Controlling Entities, following the closing of our 2018 business combination, and at any time that and for so long as the PIPE Investors collectively own at least 7.5% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock that are then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, certain rights accrue to the PIPE Investors. Those rights include the right to designate one individual for election to our board of directors, which individual shall be included as part of our slate of directors.
In connection with the closing of the 2018 business combination, we and the Controlling Entities entered into a Controlling Stockholders Agreement pursuant to which the Controlling Entities have the right to nominate an aggregate of four directors to our board of directors, with two directors designated by Alan A. Ades, one director to be designated by Albert Erani and one director to be designated by Glenn H. Nussdorf. The nomination rights shall exist for so long each individual (or, in the case of Albert Erani, together with Dennis Erani) beneficially owns at least 7.5% of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The Controlling Entities also agreed to vote their shares of our Class A common stock in support of such nominees, and appointed each of Alan A. Ades, Albert Erani and Glenn H. Nussdorf as his or her attorney-in-fact in connection with the matters contemplated by the Controlling Stockholders Agreement.

ITEM 11. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION |
Executive Summary
The compensation of our executive officers is determined by our board of directors based upon the recommendation of our compensation committee. Our formal annual compensation review process generally takes place during the first half of each fiscal year, after the results of the previous fiscal year are known. Annual discretionary cash bonuses for the completed fiscal year, if any, and long-term equity-based incentive compensation awards, if any, are awarded by the board of directors on a discretionary basis based upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, generally during the first half of each fiscal year, after a review of the previous fiscal years results.
As previously disclosed, we are a controlled company within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq and are not required to have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. In making their recommendations and determinations, our compensation committee and our board of directors take into account publicly available information concerning the compensation practices of other, similarly situated companies in the biotechnology, medical technology and biopharmaceutical industries. This information is used by the compensation committee and the board of directors informally and primarily for purposes of comparison to ascertain whether our compensation practices for our executive officers are broadly competitive. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations with regard to the compensation of our executive officers, which are reviewed by the compensation committee and the board of directors. Executive officers (including Mr. Gillheeney) do not participate in the compensation committees recommendation regarding and the boards determination of their own annual compensation.
In connection with its recommendations to the board of directors, the compensation committee periodically retains an independent compensation consultant to assess the competitiveness of the Companys compensation levels and practice applicable to the Companys executive officers. Nonetheless, the determinations made by the members of our compensation committee and board of directors are guided to a significant degree by their collective judgment and experience. During fiscal year 2020, the compensation committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC as an independent compensation consultant to advise on executive officer and board compensation.
Our compensation committee and board of directors has reviewed our compensation programs and believes that our compensation programs have not encouraged or rewarded excessive or inappropriate risk taking.

Director Compensation
Our board of directors has approved a compensation program under which our independent directors (currently Messrs. Leibowitz, Mackie and Tamaroff) are entitled to receive the following annual retainer and committee fees for their service as directors:
| for service as a director, an annual retainer of $50,000 (increased from $45,000 effective April 1, 2020); |
| for service as a chair of the audit committee, $105,000; |
| for service as a member of the audit committee or the compensation committee other than as chair, $10,000; and |
| for service as a chair of the compensation committee, $95,000. |

Retainer and committee fees are paid in arrears. Our independent directors received an option award with respect to 30,000 shares of our Class A common stock in connection with their initial election to our board of directors in December 2018, which vests annually over three years, subject to continued service. We planned also to make an annual option grant to each of our independent directors with respect to 20,000 shares of our Class A common stock, vesting annually over three years, subject to continued service. However, our board of directors decided instead to make discretionary equity grants to our independent directors each year. Those discretionary grants consisted of the following equity awards to each independent director: (1) a grant in April 2020 of 18,564 restricted stock units, which vested on April 1, 2021; (2) a grant in February 2021 of 6,318 restricted stock units, which will vest on April 1, 2022, subject to continued service; and (3) a grant in February 2021 of 5,482 restricted stock units, which will vest on February 16, 2022, subject to continued service. All non-employee directors are reimbursed for customary business expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings.
The following table sets forth information regarding compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our non-employee directors in connection with their service for the year ended December 31, 2020. We do not pay any compensation to our President and Chief Executive Officer in connection with his service on our board of directors. See Executive Compensation for a discussion of the compensation of Mr. Gillheeney.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
As a controlled company, we are not required to have a compensation committee of independent directors. As disclosed above, decisions about the compensation of our executive officers are made by our board of directors based upon the recommendation of our compensation committee. None of our executive officers serves, or in the past has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who serve as members of our compensation committee or board of directors. None of the members of our board of directors is an officer or employee of our company nor has any of them ever been an officer or employee of our company, in each case, other than Mr. Gillheeney.

ITEM 12. | SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS |
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of April 10, 2021, by:
| each person or entity, or group of affiliated persons or entities, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock; |
| each of our directors; |
| each of our named executive officers; and |
| all of our executive officers and directors as a group. |
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 10, 2021 are deemed outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such persons name.
Each stockholders percentage ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act and is based on 128,204,666 shares of our common stock outstanding as of April 10, 2021. The number of outstanding shares beneficially owned by each stockholder below was obtained from the most recent publicly filed information, as applicable.

ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTORS INDEPENDENCE |
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
Our board of directors has adopted a written related person transaction policy setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and the policy, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person (including our executive officers, directors and 5% stockholders, as well as specified members of the family or household of any of these individuals or stockholders), had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our Audit Committee (composed of Mr. Leibowitz, Mr. Mackie and Mr. Tamaroff, our independent directors), but only those independent directors who are disinterested, is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arms length transaction with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related persons interest in the transaction. All of the transactions described in this section that occurred prior to the closing of the business combination on December 10, 2018 occurred prior to the adoption of this policy. The disclosure below covers related party transactions that have occurred since January 1, 2019.
