WITH APPRECIATION
Curtis E. Hall, Esq.

The Board of Directors and Management of Stryker acknowledge Curtis Hall as he stepped down as Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, following a remarkable 20-year career with the Company. Mr. Hall was the first attorney and General Counsel hired by Stryker in 1994 and helped guide the Company through an extraordinary period of growth. When he joined Stryker, sales were $682 million and have since grown to $9.7 billion. During his tenure, Mr. Hall’s judgment was relied upon time and time again to navigate complex legal matters and provide our leadership with strategic advice and counsel. The acquisition of Howmedica in 1998 was a defining moment, as the Company doubled in size and there were only two attorneys on staff at the time, including Mr. Hall. Over the next 15 years he built an excellent Legal & Compliance organization that is valued by our divisions as a true business partner. He also developed a successor for his role and has helped ensure a seamless transition. Mr. Hall is a role model of Integrity (one of our core values) and has consistently demonstrated the courage to make difficult decisions. We are fortunate that Mr. Hall has chosen to stay involved with Stryker on a part-time basis to continue assisting us with legal and compliance matters.
