On November 20, 2013, John McDermott, President and Chief Executive Officer of Endologix, Inc. (the “Company”), announced the appointment of Robert D.

Following the effective date of Mr. Mitchell’s appointment, Mr. McDermott will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Mr. Mitchell, age 51, joined the Company in December 2010 and currently serves as its President, International. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Mitchell served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Nellix, Inc., a privately-held medical device company (“Nellix”), from February 2008 until the Company’s acquisition of Nellix in December 2010. From November 2006 to February 2008, Mr. Mitchell served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of AngioDynamics, Inc., a publicly-traded medical device company. From 2005 to 2006, Mr. Mitchell served as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Millimed Holdings, Inc., a privately-held medical device company based in Roskilde, Denmark.

The Company anticipates that the cash bonus will be determined based upon the terms of a cash bonus plan to be adopted based on the achievement of certain performance objectives in 2014.
