Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 10, 2017, by and among the Issuer, Integra Derma, Inc. and Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the "Merger Agreement"), as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the shares of the Issuer's common stock were converted into the right to receive $7.00 per share to the reporting person in cash.
