Forward-Looking Statements
This communication includes forward-looking statements as defined in
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection
with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding
the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Masimo Corporation (“Masimo” or the “Company”)
and the potential stockholder approval of the Board’s nominees. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations
about future events affecting Masimo and are subject to risks and uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which
are beyond Masimo’s control and could cause its actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in its forward-looking
statements as a result of various risk factors, including, but not limited to (i) uncertainties regarding Masimo’s litigation against
Politan Capital Management LP (“Politan”) and its affiliates (the “Litigation”), (ii) uncertainties regarding
future actions that may be taken by Politan in furtherance of its nomination of director candidates for election at the Annual Meeting,
(iii) the potential cost and management distraction attendant to Politan’s nomination of director nominees at the Annual Meeting
or to the Litigation and (iv) factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of Masimo’s most recent periodic reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which may be obtained for free at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Although Masimo believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company does not know whether
its expectations will prove correct. All forward-looking statements included in this communication are expressly qualified in their entirety
by the foregoing cautionary statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of today’s date. Masimo does not undertake any obligation to update, amend or clarify these statements or the “Risk
Factors” contained in the Company’s most recent reports filed with the SEC, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as may be required under the applicable securities laws.
Additional Information Regarding the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
and Where to Find It
On June
21, 2024, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement containing a form of GOLD proxy card with the SEC in connection with its solicitation
of proxies for the Annual Meeting (the “Original 2024 Proxy Statement”), and anticipates that it will prepare and file a
revised version of the Original 2024 Proxy Statement (the “Revised Proxy Statement”) and mail the Revised Proxy Statement
to its stockholders of record as of the new August 12, 2024 record date for the Annual Meeting. Any votes previously submitted by Masimo
stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting will not be counted and previous proxies submitted will be disregarded, and therefore,
all stockholders will need to resubmit their votes after the Revised Proxy Statement has been filed and mailed to stockholders as of
the new record date, even if they have previously voted. THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO READ THE REVISED
PROXY STATEMENT (AND ANY AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ACCOMPANYING GOLD PROXY CARD AS THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
Stockholders may obtain the Original 2024 Proxy Statement, the Revised Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto and
other documents as and when filed by the Company with the SEC without charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Certain Information Regarding Participants
The Company,
its directors and certain of its executive officers and employees may be deemed to be participants in connection with the solicitation
of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting. Information regarding
the direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, of the Company’s directors and executive officers in the Company
is included in the Original 2024 Proxy Statement, which can be found through the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000937556/000121390024053125/ea0206756-05.htm.
Changes to the direct or indirect interests of Masimo’s securities by directors and executive officers are set forth in SEC filings
on a Statement of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC on June 28, 2024, which can be found through the SEC’s website

2024 Proxy Statement may be found in any amendments or supplements to the Original 2024 Proxy Statement, including the expected Revised
Proxy Statement, and other documents as and when filed by the Company with the SEC, which can be found through the SEC’s website
at www.sec.gov.
