MERIT MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. 2018 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (Three Year Performance Period) This Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”), dated as of February 28, 2025 (the “Grant Date”), is made by and between Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), and Adam Smith, an employee of the Company (“you”). 1. Award of Performance Stock Units The Company hereby grants to you an award of performance stock units (“PSUs”) with respect to its common stock, no par value (the “Shares”), pursuant to the Merit Medical Systems, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan. The PSUs constitute performance-based Restricted Stock Units and this Award Agreement constitutes an “Award Agreement” under the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Award Agreement and the Appendix A attached hereto have the applicable meanings set forth in the Plan. With respect to your PSUs granted hereunder, the applicable Total Target Number of Shares and Performance Period are as follows: Total Target Number of Shares 4,165 Performance Period Calendar years 2025 through 2027 2. Conditions to Award Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan, you will be entitled to a payment in Shares with respect to your PSUs based on your Total Target Number of Shares set forth above and the Company’s performance during the above Performance Period with respect to the following performance measures - “Gross Margin” and “Relative Total Shareholder Return versus the Russell 2000” (“rTSR”), each, as defined on Appendix A attached hereto and each a “Metric” for purposes of this Award Agreement. The actual number of Shares to be issued to you in payment of your PSUs will be determined by multiplying the Total Target Number of Shares listed above by the applicable Gross Margin Multiplier and applicable rTSR Multiplier from the tables in this Section 2 (each a “Multiplier”). The applicable Multiplier for each Metric will be determined based on the level of the Company’s performance during the Performance Period relative to that Metric as set forth in the tables below. The precise extent to which the Company will have satisfied the Metrics, and any Shares will have been earned, will be determined by the Committee as soon as reasonably practicable following the close of the Performance Period and, to the extent reasonably practicable, will be calculated without regard to any change in applicable accounting standards after the grant of this Award. The Committee has the sole authority and discretion to determine the achievement level with respect to each Metric and the number of Shares earned at the end of the Performance Period. Metric Level 2027 Gross Margin Metric Gross Margin Multiplier Maximum 54.4 200% Target 53.4 100% Threshold 52.4 50% rTSR Metric Level rTSR Percentile Rank rTSR Multiplier Maximum At or above the 75th percentile 125% Target At the 50th percentile 100% Threshold At or below the 25th percentile 75% For the Gross Margin Metric, the applicable Multiplier will be determined on an interpolated linear basis between (i) the Threshold 50% Gross Margin Multiplier achievement level and Target 100% Gross Margin Multiplier achievement level if Company actual performance falls between those two levels; or (ii) the Target 100% Gross Margin Multiplier achievement level and the Maximum 200% Gross Margin Multiplier achievement level if

2 Company actual performance falls between those two levels. For purposes of determining relative achievement, actual results are to be rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent (0.1%) and rounded upward from the midpoint. For the rTSR Metric, the applicable rTSR Multiplier will be determined on an interpolated linear basis between (i) the Threshold rTSR Metric Level achievement level (75% rTSR Multiplier) and the Target rTSR Metric Level achievement level (100% rTSR Multiplier) if Company actual performance falls between those two levels; or (ii) the Target rTSR Metric Level achievement level (100% rTSR Multiplier) and the Maximum rTSR Metric Level achievement level (125% rTSR Multiplier) if Company actual performance falls between those two levels. For purposes of determining relative achievement, actual results are to be rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent (0.1%) and rounded upward from the midpoint. The number of Shares to be issued upon payment and settlement of your PSUs is to be rounded to the nearest whole Share and rounded upward from the midpoint. 3. Effect of Death, Disability and Termination of Service (a) Except as provided in Sections 3(b) and 4 below, you must remain in Continuous Service until the second day of the calendar year following the end of the Performance Period and at least one year from the Grant Date in order to be entitled to any payment pursuant to this Award Agreement. Failure to satisfy the foregoing service-based vesting condition will result in total forfeiture of your PSUs and all rights to payment hereunder. (b) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) above, if your Continuous Service ends prior to the second day of the calendar year following the end of the Performance Period and more than one year after the Grant Date because (i) you die or incur a Disability, or (ii) you are involuntarily terminated from employment without Cause, then after the end of the Performance Period, you (or in the event of your death, your estate or other designated beneficiary) will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the number of Shares you would have received, if any, had you remained in Continuous Service until the second day of the calendar year following the end of the Performance Period. The pro rata portion will be based on the number of full months in the Performance Period during which you are in Continuous Service as compared to the total number of months in the Performance Period. 4. Effect of a Change in Control If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, then you will be entitled to receive, no later than thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Change in Control, the Total Target Number of Shares covered by this Award Agreement without regard to the extent to which the otherwise applicable performance conditions of Section 2 above have been satisfied. 5. Payment (a) Settlement of Award. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4, the actual number of Shares that you will receive on settlement and payment of your PSUs after the end of the Performance Period listed above will be determined based upon the degree to which the Company attains each amount or level of Metric performance specified in Section 2 above during the applicable Performance Period. If Company performance for the applicable Performance Period falls below the Threshold amount for the Gross Margin Metric, no Shares will be awarded or paid under this Award Agreement. If Company performance for the applicable Performance Period with respect to the Gross Margin Metric is at or above the Gross Margin Metric Threshold amount indicated in Section 2 above, Shares will be paid out based upon the Company’s level of actual performance during the Performance Period with respect to the above Metrics as described in Section 2 above. The maximum number of Shares that you may receive under this Award Agreement is two and one-half (2.5) times the Total Target Number of Shares; however, that maximum will be payable only if the Company attains both the Maximum level of Gross Margin Metric performance and 1st Quartile level of rTSR Metric performance indicated in Section 2 above. (b) Timing of Settlement. Promptly following determination of the number of Shares you have earned under your PSUs and this Award Agreement, such number of Shares, if any, will be issued to you. Such issuance and payment will be made during the calendar year that commences immediately after the end of the Performance Period, and in no event later than March 15 of such calendar year, in accordance with Section 5(d) below; provided, however, that in the event of a Change in Control, your PSUs will be settled and paid within the thirty (30) day period specified in Section 4 above. PSUs will not be settled or paid in cash.

Taxes may be assessed and/or withheld as required by law at applicable United States federal, state, local, non-U.S., and/or other tax rates (under the laws of the jurisdictions in which you reside or that may otherwise be applicable to you) with respect to your PSUs and the issuance of Shares in payment of your PSUs, including any withholding taxes due under Sections 1441 and 1445 of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, any withholding tax payment with respect to your PSUs and issuance of Shares in payment of your PSUs described in this Award Agreement will be reduced by a number of Shares having a then Fair Market Value equal to the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum tax withholding obligations applicable to such PSUs and Share issuance. If you are providing services from a country other than the United States, then (i) you hereby represent that you are a resident of the country listed on the signature page hereto, (ii) you represent that you are not providing any services to the Company from within the United States, (iii) you represent that you provided or will provide to the Company within the period of time required by the Company such completed, and executed by you, IRS Form, which may include an IRS Form W-8BEN, or non-United States tax form as required by the Company, and (iv) you agree that within 90 days of the Grant Date, to the extent not already received, you shall apply for, obtain and provide to the Company an international taxpayer identification number issued to you by the IRS.

In the event of any merger, acquisition, disposition or other corporate event affecting the Company during the Performance Period, the Committee, in addition to adjustments under Section 12.2 of the Plan, may make such adjustments to the applicable Metric performance amounts and levels set forth in Section 2 above as it may determine would most nearly carry out the original purposes and intent of this Award Agreement. (b) No Guaranty of Future Awards. This Award Agreement in no way guarantees you the right to or expectation that you may receive similar awards with respect to any other similar performance Period or period which the Committee may, in its discretion, establish and as to which the Committee may elect to grant Awards under the Plan. (c) No Rights as Shareholder. You will not be considered a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares covered by this Award Agreement unless and until such underlying Shares are issued to you in settlement of your PSUs. (d) No Rights to Continued Employment. This Award Agreement will not be deemed to create a contract or other promise of continued employment with the Company or a Subsidiary and will not in any way prohibit or restrict the ability of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without Cause, at will with or without notice. (e) Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. This Award Agreement and your PSUs are intended to constitute and result in a “short-term deferral” that is exempt from the definition of a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, if and to the extent that this Award Agreement constitutes a nonqualified deferred compensation plan to which Code Section 409A applies, this Award Agreement and your PSUs (including time and manner of payments under it) will be administered and interpreted to comply with Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the payment provisions of Section 5(b) are intended to provide for payment upon: (i) a fixed date in conformity with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(a)(4) (i.e., by March 15 of the first calendar year commencing after the end of the applicable Performance Period); or (ii) if earlier, upon a Change in Control constituting a permissible payment event under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(a)(5).

4 (f) Clawback. If you are an officer of the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to the Company under the Plan or otherwise (but subject to applicable law), if the Committee determines that it is appropriate, the Company may recover (in whole or in part) from you any Shares (or the value thereof) paid pursuant to this Award Agreement if: (i) the payment was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement of Company financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (ii) the Committee determines that you engaged in intentional misconduct, gross negligence or fraudulent or illegal conduct that caused or substantially caused the need for the financial statement restatement; and (iii) a lower amount would have been made to you pursuant to this Award Agreement based upon the restated financial results. (g) Plan. All terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference and constitute an integral part hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Award Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan, including without limitation Sections 4.2, 13.5, 13.6 (other than the requirement under Section 13.6 of the Plan to deliver Shares within 30 days of vesting) and 13.15 of the Plan, will govern and be controlling. (h) Transfers. Neither the PSUs nor the right to receive Shares hereunder may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by you. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the PSUs or the rights relating thereto will be wholly ineffective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of your death, Shares deliverable with respect to the PSUs will be delivered to your designated beneficiary under the Plan (or if none, to your estate). (i) Securities Law Restrictions. The issuance of Shares hereunder is conditioned upon compliance by the Company and you with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Shares may be listed. No Shares will be issued or transferred unless and until any then applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. In addition, the Company may require that prior to the issuance of Shares hereunder you enter into a written agreement to comply with any restrictions on subsequent disposition that the Company deems necessary or advisable under any applicable federal and state securities laws. The Shares issued hereunder may be legended to reflect such restrictions. (j) Country-Specific Provisions.

Further, if you transfer residence and/or employment to another country, the terms and conditions set forth in Appendix B attached hereto for such country will apply to you to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative purposes. You acknowledge that the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result of the laws of any country in which you may reside (or be employed, if different). Accordingly, you acknowledge that you should seek professional advice as to how the applicable laws in your country may apply to your situation. (k) Governing Law. This Award Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah without regard to conflict of law principles. (l) Effect on Other Benefits.

ALL COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES 1. Settlement of PSUs. Notwithstanding any provision in the Award Agreement to the contrary, if you work and/or reside outside of the United States, the Company, in its sole discretion, may provide for the settlement of the PSUs in the form of: (a) a cash payment (in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares that correspond to the vested PSUs) to the extent that settlement in Shares (i) is prohibited under local law, (ii) would require you, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental or regulatory body in your country of employment and/or residency, (iii) would result in adverse tax consequences for you, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) is administratively burdensome; or (b) Shares, but require you to sell such Shares immediately or within a specified period following your termination of Continuous Service (in which case, you hereby agree that the Company shall have the authority to issue sale instructions in relation to such Shares on your behalf). 2.

The following provision supplements Section 3 of the Award Agreement: For purposes of the PSUs, unless otherwise determined by the Company, your termination of Continuous Service will be considered to occur on the date you are no longer actively providing services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any) and such date will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your period of Continuous Service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you provide services or the terms of your service agreement, if any); the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing service for purposes of the PSUs (including whether you may still be considered to be providing service while on a leave of absence). 3. Taxes. The following provisions supplement Section 5(e) of the Award Agreement: Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary to which you provide services (the “Service Recipient”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items in connection with your participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility, and that the Company and the Service Recipient: (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PSUs, including the grant of the PSUs, the vesting of the PSUs, the settlement of the PSUs, the subsequent sale of any Shares and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) by having you tender to the Company a payment in cash, by certified check, bank draft or postal or express money order payable to the Company, (ii) by having you deliver to the Company other Shares you have owned for more than six (6) months (or such longer period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or by attestation, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the Tax-Related Items; (iii) by withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the PSUs, either through a voluntary

8 sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); (iv) by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon settlement of PSUs by that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Tax-Related Items; or (v) by withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Service Recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, the Company will satisfy the obligations with regard to Tax-Related Items by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon settlement of the PSUs by that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Tax-Related Items, unless the use of such method is problematic under applicable law or has materially adverse accounting or tax consequences, in which case, the Committee shall establish an alternate withholding method (or methods). Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates (as determined by the Company in good faith and in its sole discretion) or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount and will have no entitlement to the share equivalent. You agree to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver Shares or proceeds from the sale of Shares until arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 4. Nature of Grant.

The Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares pursuant to the PSUs prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the PSUs, the Shares or the Plan under any applicable securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of any governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. You understand that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with any governmental authority or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance of the Shares. Further, you agree that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Award Agreement without your consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Shares.

Foreign Asset / Account Reporting and Exchange Control Notification. Your country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and exchange controls that may affect your ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside your country.

You understand that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, and any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of the PSUs or any other entitlement to Shares canceled, vested, unvested, settled, or outstanding in your favor (“Data”) for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. You understand that Data will be transferred to E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services, Inc. (“E*TRADE”) (and/or its affiliates) or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. If you are employed outside the United States, you understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, E*TRADE (and/or its affiliates) and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seeks to revoke your consent, your service status and career will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant PSUs or other equity awards to you or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative. Finally, you understand that the Company may rely on a different legal basis for the processing and/or transfer of Data in the future and/or request you to provide another data privacy consent. If applicable and upon request of the Company, you agree to provide an executed acknowledgement or data privacy consent form (or any other acknowledgements, agreements or consents) to the Company or the Service Recipient that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may deem necessary to obtain under the data privacy laws in your country, either now or in the future. You understand that you will not be able to participate in the Plan if you fail to execute any such acknowledgement, agreement or consent requested by the Company and/or the Service Recipient.

IRELAND Data Privacy. Section 14 of the section of this Appendix B titled “All Countries Outside the United States” shall be replaced with the following: The Company, with its registered address at 1600 West Merit Parkway, South Jordan, Utah 84095, U.S.A., is the controller responsible for the processing of your personal data by the Company and the third parties noted below. The Company’s representative in the European Union (“EU”) is Adam Smith, Merit Medical Nederland B.V., Amerikalaan 42, Maastricht-Airport, 6199AE, the Netherlands, adam.smith@merit.com. You should review the following information regarding the Company’s data processing practices. (a) Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, you are hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses certain personally-identifiable information about you for the legitimate interest of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and generally administering equity awards; specifically, including your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all PSUs or any entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, settled, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you or the Service Recipient (“Personal Data”). In granting the PSUs under the Plan, the Company will collect Personal Data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and use of Personal Data is the necessity of the processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under this Award Agreement and the Plan and the Company’s legitimate business interests of managing the Plan, administering employee equity awards and complying with its contractual and statutory obligations. (b) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers Personal Data to E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services, Inc. and/or its affiliates (“E*TRADE”), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for you to receive and trade Shares. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan. The processing of Personal Data will take place through both electronic and non-electronic means. Personal Data will only be accessible by those individuals requiring access to it for purposes of implementing, administering and operating the Plan. (c) International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. Your country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. An appropriate level of protection may be achieved by implementing safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission. Personal Data will be transferred from the EU to the Company and onward from the

(d) Data Retention. The Company will use Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs Personal Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps Personal Data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations. (e) Data Subject Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your country. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on processing Personal Data, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding your rights or to exercise your rights, you may contact your local human resources department. MEXICO 1. Commercial Relationship. You expressly recognize that your participation in the Plan and the Company’s grant of the PSUs do not constitute an employment relationship between you and the Company. You have been granted the PSUs as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs you (“Merit Medical-Mexico”) and Merit Medical-Mexico is your sole employer. Based on the foregoing, (a) you expressly recognize that the Plan and the benefits you may derive from your participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between you and Merit Medical-Mexico, (b) the Plan and the benefits you may derive from your participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by Merit Medical-Mexico, and (c) any modification or amendments of the Plan by the Company, or a termination of the Plan by the Company shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your employment with Merit Medical-Mexico. 2. Extraordinary Item of Compensation. You expressly recognize and acknowledge that your participation in the Plan is a result of the discretionary and unilateral decision of the Company, as well as your free and voluntary decision to participate in the Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Award Agreement and this Appendix B. As such, you acknowledge and agree that the Company, in its sole discretion, may amend and/or discontinue your participation in the Plan at any time and without liability. The value of the PSUs is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of your employment contract, if any. The PSUs are not part of your regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of Merit Medical-Mexico. 3. Securities Law Information. The PSUs and any Shares acquired under the Plan have not been registered with the National Register of Securities maintained by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission and cannot be offered or sold publicly in Mexico. In addition, the Plan, the Award Agreement and any other document relating to the PSUs may not be publicly distributed in Mexico.

The offer contained in these materials does not constitute a public offering of securities, but rather constitutes a private placement of securities addressed specifically to individuals who are present employees of the Company or a Subsidiary made in accordance with the provisions of the Mexican Securities Market Law, and any rights under such offering shall not be assigned or transferred.
