MEDIA RELEASE

Medacta announces the 10th M.O.R.E. International Symposium in Lugano,
Switzerland, celebrating its 25th anniversary worldwide

CASTEL SAN PIETRO, April 11, 2024 - Medacta Group SA ("Medacta," SIX:MOVE),
a Swiss company and a global player known for its innovative, personalized,
and sustainable solutions in joint replacement, sports medicine and spine
surgery, is pleased to announce that the 10th M.O.R.E. International
Symposium will be held in Lugano, Switzerland, April 15-19, 2024. This major
scientific event will be dedicated to "the sustainability of personalized
medicine and technology in orthopedics and spine surgery," representing a
significant milestone in the history of Medacta, which celebrates 25 years
in 2024. This important anniversary will be also celebrated with a series of
scientific events in the United States, Australia, and Japan.

"We are pleased to welcome more than 1,200 participants from around the
world here in Lugano, in the heart of Ticino, where Medacta was born and
where we are continuing to invest in our future. Our expansions in Rancate
and Castel San Pietro underscore our dedication to fulfilling the needs and
expectations of patients and customers worldwide", states Francesco
Siccardi, CEO of Medacta.

Switzerland and Ticino are central to Medacta's identity, and we are
immensely proud to have hosted the tenth edition of the M.O.R.E.
International Symposium in Lugano this year. This event will involve a
significant investment of five million francs, about two million of which
will be directed to the territory, involving over five days more than twenty
hotels with more than 1,200 rooms, numerous local suppliers, and supporting
professionals. To celebrate Medacta's twenty-fifth anniversary, two
wandering dinners will be held on Tuesday, 16, and Thursday, 18, in the city
squares, offering our guests the opportunity to discover the beauty of
Lugano.

Following the success of the previous edition, which focused on the
importance of a surgical approach tailored to each patient's specific
anatomy, the sessions of the 10th M.O.R.E. International Symposium will
delve into the results achieved, together with the sustainability of
personalized medicine and the latest technological innovations.

All sessions will highlight the growing role of technologies in supporting
the surgeon in defining a personalized care pathway. It will illustrate how
the innovative NextAR platform, based on the latest advances in augmented
reality and artificial intelligence, enables surgeons to make decisions in
the operating room based on real-time data about the patient's anatomy,
thereby improving accuracy and potentially optimizing outcomes. NextAR is an
integral part of the MySolutions Personalized Ecosystem, a set of advanced
and sustainable technology solutions designed to optimize the patient
journey from preoperative to postoperative, which is growing rapidly,
especially in shoulder, spine, and knee surgery.

For the knee, we will explore Kinematic Alignment (KA), a personalized and
innovative technique that significantly increases patient satisfaction and
facilitates a return to a healthy, active life. GMK SpheriKA, the world's
first implant specifically designed for this innovative technique, will also
be presented.

For the hip, recent advances in minimally invasive techniques for various
approaches will be reviewed, including the AMIS technique, which recently
surpassed 650,000 procedures and, being a muscle-sparing technique, allows
the recovery of normal activity very quickly. In addition, the potential of
Medacta's new revision platform, designed to address even the most complex
cases, will be shown.

Finally, advances in sports medicine and arthroscopy, the latest product
line within the Medacta portfolio, will be outlined.

"The International M.O.R.E. Symposia, now in its 10th year, has always aimed
to present our latest innovations and promote the sharing of experience and
knowledge among experienced surgeons from around the world to improve care,
outcomes, and patient well-being. These are important scientific events that
highlight our dedication to medical education, a key element that has
distinguished Medacta since its origins." Francesco Siccardi, CEO of
Medacta.

The event will feature more than 160 expert speakers from around the world,
including the United States, Australia, Japan and the rest of Europe.

"In twenty-five years, Medacta has made significant progress in helping to
improve the quality of life for patients who, like me, have needed
orthopedic care to regain a healthy and active lifestyle. As Medacta
celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary this year, we reflect on the
history, accomplishments, and outstanding contributions that have solidified
its position as one of the foremost orthopedic companies globally.
Witnessing the continuous growth and the positive impact the Company has had
not only on patients but also on our local communities brings me great
satisfaction. In fact, our Medacta for Life Foundation is involved in
numerous projects supporting humanitarian medical missions (My Mission),
social initiatives (My Giving), and schooling for the younger generation (My
School). I would like to thank all my family and the people who contribute
every day to Medacta's success for their commitment and passion." Dr.
Alberto Siccardi, President and founder of Medacta.

The 10th M.O.R.E. International Symposium, along with other scientific
events scheduled around the world, underscores Medacta's rapid global
expansion and continued dedication to improving patient well-being through
innovation and medical education worldwide.
