(\u201cAlign\u201d) (Nasdaq: ALGN) a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> System of clear aligners, iTero\u2122 intraoral scanners, and exocad\u2122 CAD\/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, today announced several initiatives reflecting its commitment to strong corporate governance and shareholder value creation.<\/p>\n<p>\nFollowing discussions with Elliott Investment Management L.P. (together with its affiliates, &#8220;Elliott&#8221;) about its ongoing Board refreshment and governance process, Align will appoint three new independent directors to join the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors. The search will focus on highly qualified leaders with significant experience in healthcare technology, medical devices, global operations, consumer technology, innovation, and scaling of high-growth businesses.<\/p>\n<p>\nAlign has also launched a comprehensive strategic and operating model review designed to support the Company&#8217;s next phase of growth. Supported by a market leading global consulting firm, the review is focused on strengthening commercial execution, enhancing organizational effectiveness, optimizing resources, improving scalability, and ensuring Align is well positioned to capitalize on significant long-term market opportunities. The Company expects this work to further support sustainable revenue growth, margin expansion, and long-term shareholder value creation. The Company intends to update shareholders on the strategic and operating model review as well as material initiatives undertaken and progress against those initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn addition, Align has increased its 2026 share repurchase commitment and now intends to repurchase a total of $400 million to $500 million of its common stock during 2026. This reflects the conviction of the Board and Management in Align\u2019s long-term value.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Align remains focused on executing our strategy, advancing innovation, expanding access to digital treatment solutions, and creating long-term value for shareholders,&#8221; said Joe Hogan, Align Technology President and CEO. &#8220;The initiatives build on efforts already underway to strengthen our business, evolve our operating model, and ensure our Board continues to reflect the capabilities needed to support Align&#8217;s future growth opportunities. We believe these actions position us to better serve our customers, employees and shareholders while reinforcing our leadership in digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe new directors are expected to complement the Board&#8217;s existing expertise and provide additional perspectives as Align executes against its strategic priorities, including accelerating growth, driving operational excellence, advancing innovation, and enhancing long-term shareholder value. Today\u2019s announcement also reflects the Board&#8217;s continued commitment to maintaining the skills, experience, and perspectives necessary to support Align&#8217;s next phase of growth and value creation.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Board refreshment is an important and ongoing responsibility of the Board,&#8221; said Kevin Conroy, Chairman of the Board. &#8220;We regularly evaluate the skills, experiences and perspectives needed to support Align&#8217;s long-term strategy and future growth opportunities. The three new independent directors will be appointed consistent with that approach. We appreciate the constructive dialogue with Elliott as we continue to advance Align&#8217;s strategic priorities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We are one of Align\u2019s largest investors because we believe the Company is a market leader with significant long-term growth opportunities,&#8221; said Marc Steinberg, Partner at Elliott. &#8220;We believe the Board enhancements and other actions announced today are important steps toward delivering on this opportunity. We appreciate the constructive dialogue with Joe Hogan and management and look forward to continuing to support Align as it creates long-term value for shareholders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Board and management team remain confident in Align&#8217;s strategy, competitive position and long-term growth opportunities.
