AUTOMATIC ONE-YEAR RENEWAL OF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AND SPECIAL EQUITY GRANT

On May 17, 2011, pursuant to a letter agreement, Stuart M. Essig, the Chief Executive Officer of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the “Company), and the Company each agreed not to exercise their respective right to provide notice to the other of non-renewal of the current term of his employment agreement. As a result, the term of his employment agreement was automatically extended through December 31, 2012 pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

In consideration of such agreement by Mr. Essig, on May 17, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a grant, effective May 17, 2011, to him of fully vested contract stock/units covering 165,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock. The shares underlying the units will be paid out within three business days following the first business day that occurs immediately following the six-month period after the Executive’s separation from service with the Company.

The foregoing description of the extension of the term of the employment agreement and the contract stock/units grant is qualified in its entirety by reference to the letter agreement and contract stock/units agreement which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
