Both of Politan's nominees ? Michelle Brennan and Quentin Koffey ? were overwhelmingly elected to the Board.

Mr. Koffey, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Politan, stated:
"Michelle and I would like to thank our fellow shareholders for their support and engagement throughout this campaign, and we look forward to continuing this dialogue as directors. We believe this election represents a clear mandate from shareholders that significant change is needed at Masimo. We are now fully focused on putting the election behind us and working constructively with the incumbent directors to improve the Company's corporate governance, enhance capital allocation and instill better strategic oversight. We look forward to helping Masimo reach its full potential for all its stakeholders."
