This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on August 16, 2022 (as amended and supplemented through the date of
this Amendment No. 3, collectively, the “Schedule 13D”) by the Reporting Persons, relating to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Masimo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms not defined in
this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
The information set forth in response to Item 1 and Item 4 below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant.
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented with the following information:
The Reporting Persons each beneficially own an aggregate of 4,739,963 shares of Common Stock. These shares represent approximately 9.0% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented with the following information:
On March 3, 2023, Politan filed a motion for leave to file a second amended and supplemented verified complaint (the
“Second Amended and Supplemented Complaint”) with the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (“CalSTRS”) as a co-plaintiff in the action entitled Politan Capital Management LP, et. al, v. Kiani, et. al., pending
in the Delaware Court of Chancery as Case No. 2022-0948-NAC (the “Litigation”). The Second Amended and Supplemented Complaint alleges that the employment
agreement of the Issuer’s CEO, Joe Kiani, (the “Employment Agreement”) contains multiple unlawful provisions that improperly strip the Issuer’s Board of
Directors of its authority, entrench Mr. Kiani and the Issuer’s incumbent Board of Directors in office and impede stockholders’ exercise of their voting rights. Accordingly, the Second Amended and Supplemented Complaint asserts, among other
things, that the Employment Agreement is void or voidable, in whole or in part, that the Employment Agreement constitutes waste, and that the Issuer’s Board of Directors breached its fiduciary duties by adopting the Employment Agreement and two
subsequent amendments thereto and by refusing to take any action in response to Politan’s request that the Issuer’s Board of Directors disable, waive or amend the change in control provision contained in the Employment Agreement. The Second
Amended and Supplemented Complaint further challenges certain aspects of Mr. Kiani’s limited waiver of the change in control provision for the 2023 annual meeting on the grounds that it impermissibly strips any non-incumbent directors elected at
the 2023 annual meeting of certain voting rights held by the incumbent directors.
CalSTRS currently owns 82,020 shares of the Issuer, which is less than 1% of the 52,601,943 shares of outstanding
Common Stock and has continuously owned the Issuer’s Common Stock for several years. The principal business of CalSTRS is providing retirement related benefits and services to teachers in public schools and community colleges in California.
CalSTRS has a $302.1 billion portfolio as of December 31, 2022 and is the second largest state public pension fund in the United States. The address of the principal office of CalSTRS is 100 Waterfront Place, MS 04, West Sacramento, California
95605. The Reporting Persons, on the one hand, and CalSTRS, on the other hand, do not have any agreements or understandings between them relating to the acquisition, disposition, holding or voting of the Common Stock held by the other, disclaim
beneficial ownership for all purposes of the Common Stock held by the other, and disclaim membership in a “group”.
