The 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Organogenesis Holdings Inc. will be held virtually at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, on Monday, June 15, 2026 at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2026. At the meeting, stockholders of record on the record date for the meeting who are present (virtually) or represented by proxy will have the opportunity to vote on the following matters:
| • | the re-election of Robert Ades, Michael J. Driscoll, Prathyusha Duraibabu, Jon Giacomin, Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr., Michele Korfin, Arthur S. Leibowitz, Glenn H. Nussdorf, and Gilberto Quintero, each to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified (the “Election of Directors Proposal”); |

| • | the ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending on December 31, 2026 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”). |
Our board of directors does not intend to present to the annual meeting any business other than the proposals described in this proxy statement. Our board of directors was not aware, as of a reasonable time before making this proxy statement available to our stockholders, of any other business that properly may be presented for action at the annual meeting. If any other business should come before the annual meeting, the persons present will have discretionary authority to vote the shares they own or represent by proxy in accordance with their judgment, to the extent authorized by applicable regulations.
This Proxy Solicitation
This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card are being furnished because our board of directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the annual meeting (including any adjournment or postponement of the meeting).
| • | This proxy statement summarizes information about the proposals to be considered at the meeting and other information you may find useful in determining how to vote. |
| • | The proxy card is the means by which you actually authorize another person to vote your shares at the meeting in accordance with your instructions. |
We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means. We will reimburse brokers and other nominee holders of shares for expenses they incur in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of those shares. We do not plan to retain the services of a proxy solicitation firm to assist us in this solicitation.
The proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our fiscal year 2025 Annual Report to Stockholders are also available for viewing, printing and downloading at the “Investors – SEC Filings” section of our website, www.organogenesis.com, and at www.proxyvote.com on or about April 30, 2026.

Holders of record of our Common Stock at the close of business on April 23, 2026 are entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock on each proposal properly brought before the annual meeting. Holders of record of our Convertible Preferred Stock at the close of business on April 23, 2026 are entitled to vote together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock on each matter submitted for a vote or consent by the holders of Common Stock on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. At the close of business on April 23, 2026, our
1
Table of Contents
130,000 outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible into an aggregate of 38,470,359 shares of Common Stock.
A list of our registered holders as of the close of business on the record date will be made available to stockholders during the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2026. In addition, you may contact our Chief Administrative and Legal Officer, Lori Freedman, at our offices located at 85 Dan Road, Canton, MA 02021, to make arrangements to review a copy of the stockholder list at those offices, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on any business day from June 5, 2026 to the time of the annual meeting.
How to Vote
If your shares are registered in your name, you may vote online while virtually attending the annual meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2026 or by proxy without attending the meeting. Registered stockholders may also vote by telephone or on the internet prior to the meeting by following the instructions included with your proxy card mailed to you on or about April 30, 2026. In addition, if you received a printed proxy card, you may mark, sign, date and mail the proxy card you received in the postage-paid return envelope. If you vote in accordance with any of the available methods, your shares will be voted at the meeting pursuant to your instructions. If you sign and return the proxy card or vote by telephone or on the internet but do not provide voting instructions on some or all of the proposals, your shares will be voted by the persons named in the proxy card on all uninstructed proposals in accordance with the recommendations of the board of directors given below.
Shares Held by Brokers or Nominees
If your shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, that person, as the record holder of your shares, is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. Your bank, broker or other nominee will send you directions on how to vote those shares, which may include the ability to instruct the voting of your shares by telephone or on the internet prior to the meeting.
If your shares are registered in your name or, in certain instances, if your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote online while virtually attending the meeting, you will need to access the live audio webcast of the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2026 and follow the instructions for stockholder voting.
Under stock exchange rules applicable to most brokerage firms, if you do not give instructions to your broker, it is permitted to vote any shares it holds for your account in its discretion with respect to “routine” proposals, but it is not allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain non-routine proposals. Proposal 1, the Election of Directors Proposal and Proposal 2, the Say-on-Pay Proposal, are both “non-routine” proposals. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to such proposals, your broker will not vote on such proposals and your shares will be recorded as “broker non-votes” and will not affect the outcome of the vote on such proposals. “Broker non-votes” are shares that are held in “street name” by a bank or brokerage firm that indicates on its proxy that, while voting in its discretion on one matter, it does not have or did not exercise discretionary authority to vote on another matter.
Proposal 3, the Auditor Ratification Proposal, is considered to be a routine item under the applicable rules and your broker will be able to vote on that item even if it does not receive instructions from you, so long as it holds your shares in its name.
If a broker or nominee holds your shares in “street name” for your account, then this proxy statement may have been forwarded to you with a voting instruction card, which allows you to instruct the broker or nominee how to vote your shares on the proposals described herein. To vote by proxy or to instruct your broker how to
2
Table of Contents
vote, you should follow the directions provided with the voting instruction card. In order to have your vote counted on Proposal 1 and Proposal 2, you must either provide timely voting instructions to your broker or obtain a properly executed proxy from the broker or other record holder of the shares that authorizes you to act on behalf of the record holder with respect to the shares held for your account.
Quorum Required to Transact Business
At the close of business on April 23, 2026, a total of 167,144,907 shares of Common Stock were entitled to vote, which includes (i) 128,674,548 outstanding shares of our Common Stock and (ii) 38,470,359 shares of our Common Stock upon conversion of our Convertible Preferred Stock. Our bylaws require that holders of record of a majority in voting power of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders be represented, in person or by proxy, at the meeting in order to constitute the quorum we need to transact business at the meeting. We will count abstentions and broker non-votes as shares represented at the meeting in determining whether a quorum exists.
Multiple Stockholders Sharing the Same Address
Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be “householding” our proxy statements, annual reports and related materials. “Householding” means that only one copy of these documents may have been sent to multiple stockholders in one household. If you would like to receive your own set of proxy statements, annual reports and related materials, or if you share an address with another stockholder and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of these documents, please contact your bank, broker or other nominee, or Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. by sending such request by mail to Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717 or by calling 1-866-540-7095.
To request a printed copy of the proxy statement, annual report and form of proxy relating to this stockholder meeting or future stockholder meetings, visit www.proxyvote.com, call 1-800-579-1639 or send an email to sendmaterial@proxyvote.com. You must have available the 16-digit control number from the notice described above.
May I change my vote?
If you are a registered stockholder, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by notifying the Secretary in writing, by returning a signed proxy with a later date, by submitting an electronic proxy as of a later date or by virtually attending the meeting and voting online during the meeting. If your shares are held in “street name,” you must contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions on changing your vote.
What vote is required to approve each proposal?
Proposal 1 – Election of Directors Proposal. The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy is required for the Election of Directors Proposal. Broker non-votes and proxies marked to withhold authority with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director indicated. The nine director nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected.
Proposal 2 – Say-on-Pay Proposal. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting is required for approval of the Say-on-Pay Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the voting outcome. The Say-on-Pay Proposal is a non-binding proposal.
Proposal 3 – Auditor Ratification Proposal. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting is required for approval of the Auditor Ratification Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the voting outcome. The Auditor Ratification Proposal is a non-binding proposal.

On November 12, 2024, in connection with the sale of Convertible Preferred Stock to Avista Healthcare Partners III, L.P. and AHP III Orchestra Holdings, L.P. (collectively, “Avista”), as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company agreed that, for so long as Avista holds outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into shares of Common Stock representing at least 5.0% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, shall have the right to elect one member of the board of directors (the “Preferred Director”), who, the Company agreed, will also serve on each committee of the Board for which such director is qualified under applicable law and Nasdaq rules and regulations. Additionally, at all times that Avista holds any outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, Avista shall have a right to appoint one Board observer. At Avista’s option, following conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, Avista will have the same director and Board observer rights for so long as Avista holds shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion representing at least 5.0% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of Common Stock.

She also led Celgene Corporation’s oncology sales force of over 120 representatives responsible for Abraxane®, which is now a standard of care in pancreatic cancer. Ms. Korfin currently serves as a director at Neovance, an Arsenal Capital Partners portfolio company. Ms. Korfin holds an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and a B.S. in Pharmacy from Rutgers University. She is a Registered Pharmacist in New Jersey. She previously served on the Board of Trustees of BioNJ, the organization that represents the biotechnology industry for New Jersey. We believe that Ms. Korfin is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to her experience in business management and experience working with public and private companies in the pharmaceutical industry.

Mr. Leibowitz is a certified public accountant in New York State and received a B.S. in accounting from Brooklyn College and a Masters of Accountancy from Stetson University. We believe that Mr. Leibowitz is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to his experience working with public and private companies on corporate finance and accounting matters.

Since 2017, Mr. Nussdorf has also served as a member of the board of directors of Parlux Holdings, Inc. We believe Mr. Nussdorf is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to his investment and financial experience, his expertise in business management and his long term significant ownership interest in the Company.
Gilberto Quintero has been a member of our board of directors since 2022. Dr. Quintero has served as Global Chief Quality Officer at Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ: KMB) since 2019.

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION PAID TO
OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
We are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation, or a “say-on-pay” vote. Under Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we must hold this advisory vote at least once every three years. In light of the vote of our stockholders recommending annual say-on-pay votes at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we intend to continue to seek this input on an annual basis.
The say-on-pay vote is a non-binding vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement under the heading “Executive Compensation,” and includes the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure, all as set forth in this proxy statement. The Executive Compensation section describes our compensation philosophy and objectives, how we determine executive compensation, the elements of total compensation and the actual compensation of our named executive officers identified in that section. The compensation committee and our board of directors believe that the policies and practices described in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and objectives and that the compensation of our named executive officers for 2025 reflects and supports those policies and practices.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting is required for approval of the advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the voting outcome. The say-on-pay vote is not binding on the compensation committee or our board of directors. However, the compensation committee and our board of directors will take into account the result of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
RSM US LLP currently serves as our independent registered public accounting firm and audited our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Our audit committee has retained RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Detailed disclosure of the audit and tax fees we paid to RSM US LLP in 2025 and 2024 may be found in the “Information About Our Audit Committee and Independent Registered Public Accounting firm — Audit and Other Fees” section of this proxy statement.
Our audit committee is responsible for selecting and appointing our independent registered public accounting firm, and this appointment is not required to be ratified by our stockholders. However, our audit committee has recommended that the Board of Directors submit this matter to the stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the audit committee will reconsider whether to retain RSM US LLP, and may retain that firm or another without re-submitting the matter to our stockholders. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interest and the best interest of Organogenesis and our stockholders.
Representatives of RSM US LLP are expected to attend the annual meeting to respond to appropriate questions, and they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire.
In order to pass, this proposal must receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to this matter. We will not count abstentions or broker non-votes as votes cast.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF RSM US LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT
Board Composition
Our board of directors currently consists of ten members, each of whom holds office until their successor has been elected and qualified or until the earlier of their resignation or removal. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that any vacancy on our board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of our board of directors, may be filled only by vote of a majority of our directors then in office.
As set forth in the Certificate of Designation governing the Convertible Preferred Stock, at all times when the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock hold outstanding shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock that are convertible into Common Stock representing at least five percent (5%) of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to appoint and elect one director of the Company, which director is currently Garrett Lustig. We expect that the holders of our Convertible Preferred Stock will elect Garrett Lustig as a Preferred Director substantially concurrent with the 2026 Annual Meeting. In addition, while any Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, any increase to the size of the board of directors above eleven directors will require, and cannot be effected (either directly or indirectly, including as a result of a merger, consolidation or other similar or extraordinary transaction) without, the affirmative vote or consent of holders representing a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.
Board Leadership
Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr. currently serves as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board. Our board of directors has determined that, at present, combining the positions of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer serves the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Our board of directors believes that our Chief Executive Officer’s extensive knowledge of our businesses, expertise and leadership skills make him a more effective Chair than an independent director.
Our board of directors has designated Mr. Leibowitz to serve as our Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director will, among other functions, preside at all meetings of the board of directors at which the Chair is not present and will serve as a liaison between the Chief Executive Officer and the independent directors. The Lead Independent Director also presides at executive sessions of the independent directors.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, and our audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our compensation committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.
Board Committees
Audit Committee
The Company has a standing audit committee consisting of Mr. Leibowitz, its chairperson, Dr. Driscoll, Ms. Duraibabu and Mr. Giacomin. From April 19, 2023 until June 23, 2025, the audit committee consisted of

Our board of directors has determined that each member of the audit committee: (i) satisfies the Nasdaq independence standards and the independence standards of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act and (ii) meets the requirements for financial literacy under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. The board of directors has also determined that Mr. Leibowitz and Ms. Duraibabu each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by applicable rules of Nasdaq and the SEC.

A copy of the Audit Committee charter is available in the Investor Relations (Investors > Corporate Governance > Documents & Charters) section of our website, which is located at www.organogenesis.com.

The Company has a standing compensation committee consisting of Ms. Korfin, its chairperson, Mr. Giacomin, Mr. Leibowitz and Mr. Lustig. From November 12, 2024 until June 23, 2025, the compensation committee consisted of Mr. Giacomin, its chairperson, Ms. Duraibabu, Ms. Korfin, Mr. Leibowitz and Mr. Lustig.

The compensation committee operates under a written charter adopted by the board of directors, which is available in the Investor Relations (Investors > Corporate Governance > Documents & Charters) section of our website, which is located at www.organogenesis.com. The compensation committee met nine times during fiscal year 2025.
For more information regarding the authority of our Compensation Committee, the extent of delegation to our Compensation Committee, our processes and procedures for determining executive compensation and the role of executive officers and compensation consultants in determining or recommending the amount or form of compensation for directors and executive officers, please see “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy statement.
Nominating Committee
The Company has a standing nominating committee consisting of Mr. Giacomin, its chairperson, Dr. Driscoll, Mr. Lustig and Dr. Quintero. From November 12, 2024 until June 23, 2025, the nominating committee consisted of Mr. Giacomin, its chairperson, Dr. Driscoll, Mr. Leibowitz and Mr. Lustig. The board of directors has determined that each director of the nominating committee is independent under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. The nominating committee is responsible for, among other matters: (i) identifying, reviewing, evaluating and communicating with candidates qualified to become board members or nominees for directors of the board of directors consistent with criteria approved by the board of directors; (ii) recommending to the board of directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors at any meeting of stockholders and the persons (if any) to be elected by the board of directors to fill any vacancies or newly created directorships that may occur between such meetings; (iii) overseeing the Company’s corporate governance functions and developing, recommending to the board of directors and updating as necessary a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company and assisting the board in complying with them; (iv) overseeing the evaluation of the board of directors; (v) recommending to the board of directors the members of the board of directors to serve on committees of the board of directors; and (vi) making other recommendations to the board of directors relating to the directors of the Company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
All of the members of our compensation committee, Ms. Korfin, its chairperson, Mr. Giacomin, Mr. Leibowitz and Mr. Lustig, are independent under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, and each of them is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.
As disclosed herein, decisions about the compensation of our executive officers are made by our board of directors based upon the recommendation of our compensation committee. None of our executive officers serves, or in the past has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers who serve as members of the Company’s compensation committee or board of directors. None of the members of our board of directors is an officer or employee of our company nor has any of them ever been an officer or employee of our company, in each case, other than Mr. Gillheeney.
Code of Ethics and Conduct; Corporate Governance Guidelines
We have adopted a written code of ethics and conduct that applies to our directors, executive officers and employees, as well as corporate governance guidelines. Copies of the code of ethics and conduct and our corporate governance guidelines are posted on the Investor Relations (Investors & Media > Investors > Corporate Governance > Documents & Charters) section of our website, which is located at www.organogenesis.com. If we make any substantive amendments to the code of ethics and conduct or grant any waivers from the code of ethics and conduct for any executive officer or director, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website or in a Form 8-K.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These directors, executive officers and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms received by us, and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year 2025 our directors, executive officers and ten-percent stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except for (i) one late Form 4 for Rob Cavorsi, filed on March 12, 2025, relating to withholding of shares for tax purposes upon vesting of restricted stock units on March 9, 2025, (ii) one late Form 4 for Glenn Nussdorf, filed on November 3, 2025, relating to the purchase and sale of shares of our Class A common stock by the Glenn Nussdorf 10 Year Follow On Trust Dated 11-1-1998 on March 14, 2025, March 15, 2025, June 9, 2025 and June 10, 2025, and (iii) one late Form 4 for Brian Grow, filed on April 24, 2026, relating to the exercise of a stock option on January 10, 2025.
Meetings of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors met eight times during fiscal year 2025. No director attended fewer than 75 percent of the aggregate number of meetings of the board of directors and of any committee of the Board on which he or she served, in each case held during the period in which he or she served as a director, in fiscal year 2025, other than Alan A. Ades (whose term ended on June 23, 2025) and Glenn H. Nussdorf.
Policy Regarding Board Attendance
Our directors are expected to attend meetings of the board of directors and meetings of committees on which they serve. Our directors are expected to spend the time needed at each meeting and to meet as frequently
14
Table of Contents
as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities. We encourage members of our board of directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders, but we do not have a formal policy requiring them to do so.
Director Nominations
Our nominating committee is currently comprised of Mr. Giacomin, its chairperson, Dr. Driscoll, Mr. Lustig and Dr. Quintero. Each year, the nominating committee recommends to our board of directors and our board of directors proposes to our stockholders a slate of director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In identifying and evaluating candidates for membership on the board of directors, the nominating committee may take into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include experience, qualifications, attributes, skills, diversity and other characteristics in the context of the current make-up of the board of directors and the needs of the board of directors given the circumstances of the Company. Stockholders may also recommend candidates for election to the board of directors, as described below. We do not have a formal diversity policy for directors. The nominating committee identifies director candidates based on input provided by a number of sources, including from members of the board of directors, stockholders and members of management.
Our nominating committee has the authority to utilize, and from time to time engages, third party advisors, as appropriate, to assist in enhancing our corporate governance standards. Services provided by third party advisors have generally included an assessment of the performance and effectiveness of our board of directors.
The board of directors and nominating committee value the input of stockholders in identifying director candidates. Accordingly, the nominating committee considers recommendations for director candidates submitted by stockholders using substantially the same criteria it applies to recommendations from directors and members of management. Any such nominations should be submitted to the board of directors by mail in care of the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 85 Dan Road, Canton, Massachusetts 02021 and be accompanied by the information required by the bylaws. The written recommendation should be submitted within the time frame described in the bylaws.
Communications with our Board of Directors
Stockholders wishing to communicate with our board of directors should send correspondence to the attention of our Corporate Secretary at our offices located at 85 Dan Road, Canton, Massachusetts 02021, and should include with the correspondence evidence that the sender of the communication is one of our stockholders. Satisfactory evidence would include, for example, contemporaneous correspondence from a brokerage firm indicating the identity of the stockholder, the number of shares held and the address, telephone number and e-mail address, if any, of the stockholder. Our Corporate Secretary will review all correspondence confirmed to be from stockholders and decide whether or not to forward the correspondence or a summary of the correspondence to the full board of directors or a committee thereof. Our Corporate Secretary will review all stockholder correspondence, but the decision to relay that correspondence to the full board or a committee will rest entirely within his discretion. Our board believes that this process will suffice to handle the relatively low volume of communications we have historically received from our stockholders. If the volume of communications increases such that this process becomes burdensome to our Corporate Secretary, our board of directors may elect to adopt more elaborate screening procedures.
Director Compensation
Our board of directors has approved a compensation program under which our independent directors (currently Dr. Driscoll, Ms. Duraibabu, Mr. Giacomin, Ms. Korfin, Mr. Leibowitz, Mr. Lustig and Dr. Quintero) are entitled to receive the following annual retainer and committee fees for their service as directors:
| • | for service as a director, other than as lead independent director, an annual retainer of $55,000 ($67,500 effective April 1, 2026); |

| • | for service as a member of the research and development committee other than as chair, $10,000. |
Retainer and committee fees are paid in arrears. The independent directors who served on our board of directors in fiscal year 2025 were Messrs. Driscoll, Giacomin, Leibowitz, Lustig and Quintero, and Mses. Duraibabu and Korfin. We make an annual equity award to each of our independent directors, typically vesting on or about the one year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued service. The number of shares subject to such equity awards is determined each year by the board of directors in their discretion. In February 2025, the board of directors approved an annual equity award with a grant date fair value of $175,000 consisting of 49,575 restricted stock units to our independent directors who were directors at such time, which vested on February 15, 2026. In February 2026, the board of directors approved an annual equity award with a grant date fair value of $187,500 consisting of 48,828 restricted stock units to our independent directors who were directors at such time, which will vest on February 15, 2027. All non-employee directors are reimbursed for customary business expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings.
The following table sets forth information regarding compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our non-employee directors in connection with their service for the year ended December 31, 2025.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This section provides an overview and analysis of our executive compensation program, including its design and objectives, as well as the rationale applied and the decisions made under our program with respect to the compensation paid or awarded in fiscal year 2025 to our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”), Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”) and our three most highly compensated executive officers other than the PEO and PFO who were serving as executive officers at the end of the last completed fiscal year. We refer to these individuals as our named executive officers, or NEOs. For fiscal year 2025 our NEOs included Mr. Gillheeney, Mr. Francisco, Mr. Bilbo, Ms. Freedman and Mr. Grow. Later in this proxy statement, you will find a series of tables containing specific information about the compensation earned by these individuals in fiscal year 2025. The discussion below is intended to help you understand the detailed information provided in those tables and to put that information into context based on our overall compensation program for our NEOs.
The compensation of our executive officers is determined by our board of directors based upon the recommendation of our compensation committee. Our formal annual compensation review process generally takes place during the first quarter of each fiscal year, after the results of the previous fiscal year are known. Annual cash bonuses for the completed fiscal year, if any, and long-term equity-based incentive compensation awards, if any, are awarded by the board of directors based upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, generally during the first quarter of each fiscal year, after a review of the previous fiscal year’s results.
Our Executive Compensation Philosophy
The objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program are to align compensation with business objectives, individual performance, and the interests of the Company’s stockholders; motivate and reward high levels of performance; recognize and reward the achievement of Company goals; and enable the Company to attract, retain, and reward the highest quality executive talent.
Accordingly, the Company’s practice is to provide total compensation that is competitive with its peer companies. The compensation program is based on individual and Company performance and includes components that reinforce the Company’s incentive and retention-related compensation objectives. The principal components of our NEO compensation program are base salary, annual cash bonuses, long-term equity-based incentive compensation and benefits. Cash bonuses are included to encourage and reward effective performance relative to the Company’s near-term plans and objectives. Equity incentives are included to promote longer-term focus by providing meaningful opportunities to participate in future value creation, to help retain key contributors and to align the interests of the Company’s executives and stockholders.
We believe that the design of our executive compensation program, with its emphasis on reward for achievement of the key objectives that comprise our annual and long-term business plan, does not create incentives for our executives to take excessive or unnecessary risks that could threaten the value of our company.
Role of Compensation Committee
The compensation committee, which currently consists of four of our nine non-employee directors, is responsible for recommending to the board of directors the compensation philosophy and policies of the Company in general and for its executive officers in particular. In addition, the compensation committee makes recommendations to the board of directors with respect to base salary, annual cash bonuses and long-term equity incentives for our executive officers. Our compensation committee also makes recommendations to our board of directors, based on recommendations made by our compensation consultant, regarding independent director compensation.

Table of Contents
Role of Compensation Consultant
In connection with its recommendations to the board of directors, the compensation committee retains an independent compensation consultant to assess the competitiveness of the Company’s compensation levels and practice applicable to the Company’s executive officers. This consulting firm also reviews the fees and equity awards for independent directors. These services include recommendations regarding our compensation practices and, based on direction from our compensation committee, detailed analyses and recommendations based on the percentile rankings of comparable executives, as well as independent directors, in our peer group companies. Nonetheless, the determinations made by the members of our compensation committee and board of directors are guided to a significant degree by their collective judgment and experience. During fiscal year 2025, the compensation committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC, which we refer to as Pearl Meyer, as an independent compensation consultant to advise on executive officer and board compensation.
Pearl Meyer assisted the committee by providing the following services for fiscal year 2025 compensation determinations:
| • | Updating the peer group of comparable companies used to benchmark executive and independent director compensation pay levels and understand market practices; |
| • | Reviewing competitive market compensation data, including data used for determining each of the components of the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, each of our other NEOs, and other members of our executive management team, as well as for our independent directors; |
| • | Providing advice on industry compensation practices, including the structure and mix of equity compensation, as well as compensation governance features; and |
| • | Participating in several of our compensation committee’s meetings in fiscal 2025. |
In addition to providing data as mentioned below, in 2025, we also engaged Pearl Meyer to assist with an assessment of the performance and effectiveness of our board of directors. Management works with Pearl Meyer at the direction of the compensation committee to provide Pearl Meyer with all information it deems necessary to advise the compensation committee and board of directors. Pearl Meyer follows internal guidelines and practices to guard against any conflict of interest and to ensure the objectivity of its advice and has confirmed the same to our compensation committee and board of directors. After review and consultation with Pearl Meyer, our compensation committee has determined that Pearl Meyer is independent of the Company and the members of the compensation committee and board of directors.
Role of Company Management
Our Chief Executive Officer works closely with our compensation committee to ensure that our compensation committee is provided with the necessary information to make its decisions, including with respect to the performance of each of the other executive officers relative to each officer’s individual performance objectives, and to propose recommendations for compensation committee consideration regarding the compensation elements for those NEOs. Once our Chief Executive Officer has made his recommendations to our compensation committee, the committee reviews and makes a recommendation to our board of directors regarding final compensation determinations. Executive officers (including Mr. Gillheeney) do not participate in the compensation committee’s recommendation regarding and the board’s determination of their own annual compensation.
Benchmarking and Use of Peer Group Data
In making their recommendations and determinations, our compensation committee and our board of directors take into account publicly available information concerning the compensation practices of other, similarly situated companies in the biotechnology, medical device, life sciences and biopharmaceutical
20
Table of Contents
industries. This information is used by the compensation committee and the board of directors informally and primarily for purposes of comparison to ascertain whether our compensation practices for our executive officers are broadly competitive.
As indicated above, our compensation committee retained Pearl Meyer to conduct a study of peer companies for the purpose of reviewing the compensation levels of our executive team, including the NEOs. In conjunction with Pearl Meyer, our compensation committee reviewed and approved a peer group of comparable companies. Our compensation committee used data from the peer group to understand market positioning and serve as a frame of reference for recommendations on base salaries, annual cash bonuses and long-term equity-based incentive compensation, along with assessments of individual performance.
The processes described above regarding the roles of the compensation consultant and management and the use of benchmarking and peer group data in fiscal 2025 are consistent with our compensation committee’s practices in prior years and with its continuing practices.
The peer group was determined primarily by considering the following criteria: industry, revenue, market capitalization, growth and margins. The data from the peer group companies for the NEOs provided the compensation committee with a benchmark that it views as a point of reference, but not as a determining factor, for the compensation of the NEOs.
Pearl Meyer reviewed the peer group approved by our compensation committee for use in determining executive compensation for fiscal 2024 and determined that the profiles of these companies were within the criteria for determination of fiscal 2025 compensation, except for Cutera, Inc., LeMaitre Vascular, Inc., and Vericel Corporation, which were removed from the peer group because the market caps of these companies differed significantly from the Company’s then-current valuation. In addition, Pearl Meyer recommended to remove NuVasive from the peer group because it had been acquired. Pearl Meyer recommended that five companies be added to the peer group in light of the recommended criteria: AxoGen, Inc., Embecta Corp., Nevro Corp., Paragon 28, Inc., and Tactile Systems Technology, Inc.
After giving effect to these changes, the final group of peer companies approved by our compensation committee for use in determining executive compensation for fiscal 2025 was composed of the following companies:
| Alphatec Holdings, Inc. | Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation | |||
| AngioDynamics, Inc. | MiMedx Group, Inc. | |||
| Anika Therapeutics, Inc. | Nevro Corp. | |||
| Artivion, Inc | OraSure Technologies, Inc. | |||

| Bioventus Inc. | Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. | |||
| CONMED Corporation | Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. | |||
| Embecta Corp. | ZimVie Inc. |
Advisory “Say-on-Pay” Vote
At our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 91.4% of the shares voted on our annual “say-on-pay” proposal (excluding broker non-votes) were cast in favor of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in our 2025 proxy statement. The compensation committee considered the results of the 2025 stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation when determining the Company’s 2026 executive and NEO compensation, and will continue to consider the results of stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation when making future decisions relating to our executive compensation programs and compensation for NEOs.

Executive Compensation Elements
The main components of our executive compensation program in 2025 were:
| • | Base salary; |
| • | Annual cash bonuses tied to achievement of specific Company performance goals; |
| • | Long-term equity incentive awards consisting of stock options, restricted stock units with time-based vesting and performance share awards tied to achievement of specific Company performance goals; and |
| • | Benefits, including 401(k) contributions, medical, dental, life and disability insurance, payment for a leased automobile and other benefits. |
The following discussion describes how each of these elements of compensation fit into our overall compensation objectives and describes how and why compensation recommendations were made by our compensation committee and decisions made by our board of directors with respect to each element based on our compensation consultant’s analysis of competitive market data and our annual review of corporate and individual performance.
Base Salaries
Base salaries are paid in order to provide a fixed component of compensation for our NEOs and other executive officers to reward the individual value that each executive officer brings to us through experience and past and expected future contributions to our success. Base salaries may be changed depending on the compensation of comparable positions within the peer group companies and published compensation surveys, the NEO’s responsibilities, skills, expertise, experience and performance, the NEO’s contributions to the Company’s results, and the overall performance of the Company compared to its peer group and other participants within the industry. In determining any changes to base salaries, our compensation committee and board of directors rely on this information, but also exercise judgment about each individual, and take into account special circumstances. Based on these factors and the recommendation of the compensation committee, our board of directors increased the base salaries of the NEOs effective April 1, 2025 as follows:
| NEO |
Base Salary Effective April 1, 2024 |
Base Salary Effective April 1, 2025 |

Annual Cash Bonuses
Our board of directors ties bonuses for our executive officers directly to the achievement of pre-agreed corporate performance objectives which include the Company’s net revenue, gross margin percentage and Adjusted EBITDA (excluding budgeted expenses for the Company’s build-out of its Smithfield, Rhode Island facility), with threshold, target and maximum goals and corresponding bonus weighting set for each metric.
The annual cash bonuses for 2025 were based on Company performance with respect to net revenue (45%), gross margin (10%) and Adjusted EBITDA (45%). For each performance objective, the board of directors set a target amount (100% payout), as well as minimum (75% payout) and maximum (200% payout) goals. When calculating the attainment percentage for each objective, the board of directors compared the actual result against

Based on our performance against each of the corporate performance objectives, the board of directors approved an overall Company performance factor of 144% of target.
Our board of directors retains discretion to adjust the amount of a bonus award above or below the amount that is determined by performance against our corporate goals based on an executive officer’s individual performance. For fiscal year 2025, the board of directors considered the individual performance of each of our executive officers and determined that a positive adjustment the bonus award was warranted for both Ms. Freedman and Mr. Grow and a negative adjustment to the bonus award was warranted for Mr. Bilbo. The board of directors did not adjust the bonus awards for Messrs. Gillheeney and Francisco.
Our compensation committee recommended, and our board of directors approved, a cash bonus for each NEO for fiscal 2025 equal to the amount set forth for such NEO in the table below:

For 2026, the board of directors has again determined that the payment of any cash bonuses will be based on the achievement of pre-agreed corporate performance objectives which include the Company’s net revenue (45%), gross margin percentage (10%) and Adjusted EBITDA (excluding budgeted expenses for the Company’s build-out of its Smithfield, Rhode Island facility) (45%), with minimum, target and maximum goals set for each performance objective. Our board of directors retains negative discretion to adjust the amount of a bonus award above or below the amount that is determined by performance against our corporate goals based on an executive officer’s individual performance.
Long-term Equity-Based Incentive Compensation Awards
Long-term equity-based incentive compensation awards, if any, are awarded by the board of directors on a discretionary basis based upon the recommendation of the compensation committee after a review of the previous fiscal year’s results. Equity awards have the potential to be a significant component of each NEO’s compensation package. We emphasize equity awards to motivate our NEOs to drive the long-term performance of Organogenesis and to align their interests with those of our stockholders. We believe this emphasis is appropriate as these officers have the greatest role in establishing the Company’s direction and should have a significant proportion of their compensation aligned with the long-term interests of stockholders.
Our board of directors has traditionally made annual awards of stock options and restricted stock units, or RSUs, to provide a certain amount of equity to officers that will vest as long as the officer continues to work at
23
Table of Contents
Organogenesis. Beginning in 2025, our board of directors, upon the recommendation of our compensation committee, added performance share awards as a component of the annual equity program. Stock option awards, which we view as a performance-based vehicle, align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders because the awards will only have value if the market value of our Common Stock increases from the date of grant. RSU awards provide a portion of the annual awards as full value awards that would not lose substantially all perceived value in a downturn of the price of our Common Stock. Performance share awards tie a portion of each officer’s equity compensation to the achievement of specific Company performance goals, reinforcing our pay-for-performance philosophy and further aligning the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders. To encourage retention and focus our executives on building long-term value for our stockholders, we structure our annual stock option and RSU awards so that they vest over a service period of four years. Performance share awards vest over a three-year period based on achievement of certain net revenue thresholds of the Company. In addition, the performance share awards include a catch-up performance goal providing for vesting of shares not earned at target during any of the three performance years if the Company’s net revenue grows at a specified compounded annual growth rate over the three-year period.
The size of our annual awards for our NEOs is determined based on a total grant date fair value that is competitive with the value of equity awards granted to comparable officers at companies in our peer group. The percentages of the annual equity awards that are allocated to options, to RSUs and to performance share awards are made each year by our board of directors upon the recommendation of our compensation committee. In fiscal 2025, upon the recommendation of our compensation committee, our board of directors determined to allocate the total grant date fair value of the annual equity awards as follows: 50% to RSU awards, 30% to stock option awards, and 20% to performance share awards.
On February 19, 2025, our board of directors approved equity awards to each of our NEOs consisting of:

For 2025, the Company granted performance share awards to its NEOs that vest over a three-year performance period based on the Company’s achievement of annual revenue growth targets and subject to a catch-up provision as described above. For Calendar Year 2025, the performance metric for each NEO’s award was growth in Annual Revenue over Calendar Year 2024 revenue.

The remaining two tranches of the 2025 performance share awards will be based on performance in Calendar Year 2026 and Calendar Year 2027, respectively.
For 2026 and based on a recommendation of the compensation committee, our board of directors decided to allocate equity awards to our executive officers as follows: 60% of the total grant date fair value to RSU awards; 20% of the total grant date fair value to stock option awards; and 20% of the total grant date fair value to performance share awards. The performance share awards vest over three years based on achievement of certain net revenue targets and are subject to a catch-up provision as described above.
Benefits
Health and Welfare Benefits. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, including our medical, dental, vision, group life and disability insurance plans, in each case on the same basis as other employees. We believe that these health and welfare benefits help ensure that we have a productive and focused workforce through reliable and competitive health and other benefits.
Retirement Savings. All of our full-time employees, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan. Pursuant to our 401(k) plan, employees may elect to reduce their current compensation by up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit (which was $22,500 in 2023, $23,000 in 2024 and $23,500 in 2025), with additional salary deferrals not to exceed $7,500 in calendar 2023, 2024 and 2025, available to those employees 50 years of age or older, and to have the amount of this reduction contributed to our 401(k) plan. In addition, in the fiscal years ended 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company made discretionary matching contributions up to 6% of base salary, up to a maximum of $350,000, $345,000 and $330,000, respectively, per year, under the 401(k) plan.
Perquisites. We pay for a leased automobile and a related tax gross up for each of our NEOs. In addition, we pay the premiums for group term life insurance and long-term disability insurance (and a related tax gross up) for each of our NEOs.
Severance and Change of Control Benefits
Pursuant to his employment agreement, our CEO is entitled to specified benefits in the event of the termination of his employment under specified circumstances, including termination without cause or for good reason. We provide more detailed information about these benefits under the caption “— Agreement with Mr. Gillheeney” below.
We believe that severance protections in the context of a change of control transaction can play a valuable role in attracting and retaining executive officers, are an important part of an executive’s total compensation package and are consistent with competitive practices. We believe that the occurrence, or potential occurrence, of a change of control will create uncertainty regarding the continued employment of our NEOs. This uncertainty
25
Table of Contents
results from the fact that many change of control transactions result in significant organizational changes, particularly at the senior executive level. Accordingly, our board of directors has approved change in control retention agreements for each of our NEOs. These agreements provide each NEO with so-called “double trigger” benefits. In other words, the change of control does not itself trigger benefits; rather, benefits are paid if the employment of the NEO is terminated without cause during the 24-month period after the change of control. We believe a “double trigger” benefit maximizes stockholder value because it prevents an unintended windfall to executives in the event of a friendly change of control, while still providing them appropriate protections as incentives to cooperate in negotiating any change of control in which their jobs may be at risk. We also provide severance benefits in an “Event of Constructive Termination” during the 24-month period after the change of control because we believe that a termination by the executive in these circumstances is conceptually the same as a termination by us without cause, and that in the context of a change of control potential acquirers would otherwise have an incentive to constructively terminate the executive’s employment to avoid paying severance. We have provided more detailed information about these benefits, along with estimates of their value under various circumstances, under the caption “— Potential Payments Upon Termination, Including Termination After a Change in Control Transaction” below.

Federal Tax Considerations under Section 162(m)
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to each of a company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and the three most highly compensated executive officers (other than the chief executive officer and chief financial officer), as well as any officer who was treated as a covered employee under Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for any year beginning after December 31, 2016. All compensation in excess of $1 million paid to each of the executives described above (other than certain grandfathered compensation in effect before November 2017) will not be deductible by us.
While our board of directors considers the deductibility of awards as one factor in determining executive compensation, our board of directors may also look at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if the compensation is not deductible by us for tax purposes.

| (1) | Performance Share Awards (“PSAs”) |
In February 2025, the Company awarded performance share awards to Mr. Gillheeney, Mr. Francisco, Mr. Bilbo, Ms. Freedman and Mr. Grow. Each award has a performance period spanning calendar year 2025, calendar year 2026 and calendar year 2027. The number of performance shares that may actually be earned ranges from zero up to the maximum number of performance shares (200% of the target number), depending on the Company’s achievement of specified performance goals tied to growth in annual net revenue over the immediately preceding calendar year. The performance share awards vest in equal annual installments over three years beginning February 15, 2025, in each case multiplied by the applicable Performance Vesting Percentage, provided the NEO remains employed with the Company at the time of vesting. In addition, the performance share awards include a catch-up performance goal providing for vesting of shares not earned at target during any of the three performance years if the Company’s net revenue grows at a specified compounded annual growth rate over the three-year period. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the fair value of the stock on the date of grant. The aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the fiscal year is computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.
| (2) | Restricted Stock Unit Awards (“RSUs”) |
In February 2025, the Company awarded restricted stock units to Mr. Gillheeney, Mr. Francisco, Mr. Bilbo, Ms. Freedman and Mr. Grow, which vest in equal annual installments over four years beginning February 15, 2025, provided the NEO remains employed with the Company at the time of vesting. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the fair value of the stock on the date of grant. The aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the fiscal year is computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.
| (3) | Stock Options |
In February 2025, the Company awarded stock options to Mr. Gillheeney, Mr. Francisco, Mr. Bilbo, Ms. Freedman and Mr. Grow, which become exercisable in equal annual installments over four years

Table of Contents
beginning February 15, 2025, provided the NEO remains employed with the Company at the time of vesting. Each of the option awards has a ten-year term. The aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted during the fiscal year is computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. The exercise price of the options is equal to the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

The other NEOs are not entitled to payments upon termination of their employment not in connection with a change in control transaction.
Termination (Change in Control)
We and each of our executive officers entered into a Change in Control Retention Agreement (the “Change in Control Agreement”). Pursuant to the Change in Control Agreement, if the executive’s employment is terminated during the twenty-four month period following a “Change in Control” (a) by us without “Cause” or (b) by the executive upon the occurrence of an “Event of Constructive Termination” (as those terms are defined in the Change in Control Agreement), the executive will receive from us: (i) a lump-sum amount equal to one times (two times in the case of Mr. Gillheeney, our Chief Executive Officer) the executive’s base annual salary and the executive’s annual target bonus, in each case at the highest rate in effect at any time during the 12 months immediately preceding the termination of the executive’s employment with us; (ii) for up to 12 months (24 months in the case of Mr. Gillheeney) following the executive’s termination of employment, payment of the difference between the cost of COBRA continuation coverage for the executive and any dependent who received health insurance coverage prior to such termination, and any premium contribution amount applicable to the executive as of such termination; and (iii) full acceleration of the vesting of any time-based equity awards held by the executive. Our obligation to provide the foregoing benefits is subject to the executive entering into a new noncompetition agreement with us and the effectiveness of a release of claims executed by the executive in favor of us.
The following tables show the potential payments due to each of our NEOs (i) upon termination of employment without cause not in connection with a change in control and (ii) upon termination of employment without cause within 24 months following a change of control; assuming such termination were to have occurred as of December 31, 2025.

CEO Pay Ratio
In accordance with Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our principal executive officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees other than our principal executive officer. For fiscal year 2025, the annual total compensation for Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr., our Chief Executive Officer, as reported in our Summary Compensation Table, was $6,811,754, and the annual total compensation for our median employee was $411,028, resulting in an estimated pay ratio of approximately 17:1.
37
Table of Contents
We identified the median employee as of December 31, 2025, by aggregating for each employee employed on that date base salary or wages actually paid in fiscal year 2025. We chose this methodology because we believed it was reasonably representative of our employee compensation. We then ranked our employees from lowest to highest using this compensation measure. This calculation was performed for all of our employees who were employed on December 31, 2025, excluding Mr. Gillheeney, which totaled 848 employees, all of whom are based in the United States. Foreign employees, which total fewer than 5% of our employees, were excluded. We selected the employee ranked 424 on the list as our “median employee” for purposes of calculating the pay ratio and then determined that employee’s annual total compensation in the same manner as we determined Mr. Gillheeney’s compensation for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table.

INFORMATION ABOUT COMMON STOCK OWNERSHIP
Stock Owned by Directors, Executive Officers and Greater-than-5 Percent Stockholders
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of our Common Stock, as of April 10, 2026, by:

| • | each of our directors; |
| • | each of our named executive officers; and |
| • | all of our executive officers and directors as a group. |
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of Common Stock (i) underlying RSUs that will vest within 60 days of April 10, 2026 or (ii) subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 10, 2026, are deemed outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such person’s name.
Each stockholder’s percentage ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act and is based on 128,674,548 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of April 10, 2026. The number of outstanding shares beneficially owned by each stockholder below was obtained from the most recent publicly filed information, as applicable.

Equity Compensation Plan Information
We have one equity compensation plan under which awards are currently authorized for issuance, the 2018 Plan. In connection with the consummation of the business combination in December 2018, our board of directors discontinued any new issuances under the Organogenesis Inc. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, or 2003 Plan. If options outstanding under the 2003 Plan expire unexercised, they will not become available for future issuance. Both the 2018 Plan and the 2003 Plan were approved by our stockholders. The following table provides information regarding securities authorized for issuance as of December 31, 2025 under our equity compensation plans.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
Our board of directors has adopted a written related person transaction policy setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and the policy, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person (including our executive officers, directors and 5% stockholders, as well as specified members of the family or household of any of these individuals or stockholders), had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our Audit Committee (currently composed of Mr. Leibowitz, its chairperson, Dr. Driscoll, Ms. Duraibabu and Mr. Giacomin, all independent directors), but only those independent directors who are disinterested, is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. The disclosure below covers related party transactions that have occurred since January 1, 2025.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE AND
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Audit Committee Report
The primary role of our audit committee is to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information proposed to be provided to stockholders and others, the adequacy of the system of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures established by management and the Board, and the audit process and the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining the company’s system of internal controls and for preparation of the company’s financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and issuing an opinion on the financial statements. The audit committee has met and held discussions with management and our independent registered public accounting firm, and has also met separately with our independent registered public accounting firm, without management present, to review the adequacy of our internal controls, financial reporting practices and audit process.
The audit committee has reviewed and discussed our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. As part of this review, the audit committee discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Statement on Auditing Standards No. 16, “Communication with Audit Committees,” as amended.
The audit committee has received from our independent registered public accounting firm a written statement describing all relationships between that firm and Organogenesis Holdings Inc. that might bear on the registered public accounting firm’s independence, consistent with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence.” The audit committee has discussed the written statement with the independent registered public accounting firm, and has considered whether the independent registered public accounting firm’s provision of any consultation and other non-audit services to Organogenesis Holdings Inc. is compatible with maintaining the registered public accounting firm’s independence.
Based on the above-mentioned reviews and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that Organogenesis Holdings Inc.’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OTHER MATTERS
Other Business
Neither we nor our board of directors intends to propose any matters of business at the meeting other than the proposals described in this proxy statement. Neither we nor our board or directors know of any matters to be proposed by others at the meeting.
Stockholder Proposals for Next Annual Meeting
Stockholders who wish to present proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act for consideration at our next Annual Meeting of Stockholders must submit the proposals in proper form to us at the address set forth on the first page of this proxy statement not later than December 31, 2026, in order for the proposals to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to our next annual meeting. However, if the date of our next annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of our 2026 Annual Meeting, then the deadline to submit such stockholder proposals is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials.
Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at our next annual meeting submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 or stockholder proposals to nominate a director candidate to be considered by the board of directors must be received in writing by us no later than the close of business on April 16, 2027, nor earlier than February 15, 2027, together with all supporting documentation and information required by our bylaws; provided, however, that if our next annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days or delayed more than 60 days after the anniversary of our 2026 Annual Meeting, such notice must be received in writing by us not earlier than the close of business on the one-hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the date of such annual meeting nor later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date is first made. Proxies solicited by us will confer discretionary voting authority with respect to these proposals, subject to SEC rules governing the exercise of this authority.
In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 16, 2027. If the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or after June 15, 2027, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide such notice by the later of 60 days prior to the meeting or the 10th day after the Company first publicly announces the date of the meeting. The deadline under Rule 14a-19(b) is a minimum notice requirement that does not override or supersede the earlier deadline in our bylaws. A stockholder intending to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must satisfy the requirements of both our bylaws and Rule 14a-19, which imposes conditions beyond those in our bylaws. Rule 14a-19(b) requires that the stockholder’s notice to us must include the names of all nominees for whom the stockholder intends to solicit proxies and must include a statement that the stockholder intends to solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than our nominees.
