Broker Non-Votes

        A "broker non-vote" occurs when a brokerage firm or other nominee holding sharesalso available for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have authority to vote on that particular proposal without receiving voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Under applicable stock exchange rules, brokers may not vote on "non-routine" proposals unless they have received voting instructions from the beneficial owner,viewing, printing and to the extent that they have not received voting instructions, brokers report such number of shares as "non-votes." The election of directors is considered a "non-routine" item, which means that brokerage firms may not vote in their discretion regarding these items on behalf of beneficial owners who have not furnished voting instructions. The proposal to ratify the selection of independent auditors, however, is considered a "routine" item, which means that brokerage firms may vote in their discretion regarding the selection of independent auditors on behalf of beneficial owners who have not furnished voting instructions. Because at least one routine item is to be voted upondownloading at the meeting, broker non-votes will be counted for purposes“Investors – SEC Filings” section of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of businessour website, www.organogenesis.com, and at the 2018 Annual General Meeting.www.proxyvote.com.

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 November 30, 2021. 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 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/ORGO2021 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, regarding the election of directors, is a “non-routine” proposal. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to such proposal, your broker will not vote on such proposal and your shares will be recorded as “broker non-votes” and will not affect the outcome of the vote on such proposal. “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 2, the ratification of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, 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 shares of our Class A common stock 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 vote, you should follow the directions provided with the voting instruction card. In order to have your vote counted on Proposal 1, 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 November 4, 2021, a total of 128,644,021 shares of our Class A common stock were outstanding. Our bylaws require that a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock 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.

        We are a blank check company incorporated on December 4, 2015 as a Cayman Islands exempted companyBoard Composition

Our board of directors currently consists of eight members, each of whom holds office until their successor has been elected and formed forqualified or until the purposeearlier of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganizationtheir resignation or similar business combination with one or more businesses ("business combination"). On, October 14, 2016, we completed an initial public offeringremoval. Our certificate of our units, which are comprised of one Class A ordinary shareincorporation and one warrant to purchase one-half of one Class A ordinary share. Our publicly traded ordinary shares, units and warrants are currently listed onbylaws provide that the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols "AHPA," "AHPAU" and "AHPAW," respectively.

        Based on our business activities, the Company is a "shell company" as defined under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") because we have no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash. We also have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. We have reviewed, and continue to review, aauthorized number of opportunities to enter into a business combination with an operating business, but we are not able to determine at this time whether we will complete a business combination with anydirectors may be changed only by resolution of the target businessesboard of directors. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that we have reviewed or with any other target. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business have not been limited to a particular industry or geographic region, although we have focused our search on targeted North American or European healthcare related business.

Corporate Governance and Number and Terms of Office of Directors

        Our Board consists of six members, four of whom are independent under NASDAQ Listing Standards. An "independent director" is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the director's exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

        This general meeting will be the Company's first Annual General Meeting. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (our "articles") require that we hold director elections at the first such meeting. Commencing at this Annual General Meeting and at each annual general meeting thereafter, each of our directors will hold office for a two-year term.

        In addition, under our articles, only holders of our Class B ordinary shares initially purchased by Avista Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "Sponsor") and certain other accredited investors (the "Founder Shares") have the right to elect directors prior to the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, holders of our Class A ordinary shares will not have the right to vote on the election of directors at this Annual General Meeting. These provisions of our articles may only be amended by a special resolution passed by a majority of at least 90% of our ordinary shares voting in a general meeting. Subject to any other special rights applicable to the shareholders, any vacancies on our Board may be filledremoved only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in an annual election of directors, present and voting at the meetingthat 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.

During fiscal year 2020, the Company was a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) listing rule 5615(c) because Alan A. Ades, Albert Erani and Glenn H. Nussdorf, current and former members of our board of directors, together with Dennis Erani, Starr Wisdom and certain of their respective affiliates controlled over 50% of the voting power for the election of the Company’s directors. We refer to this group as the Significant Stockholder Group. As a controlled company, the Company was not required to have and did not have (i) a majority of independent directors on its board of directors, (ii) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors or (iii) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, during fiscal year 2020, only Mr. Leibowitz, Wayne Mackie and Joshua Tamaroff, the members of our Audit Committee, had been determined by our board of directors to be “independent directors” as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

On May 6, 2021, the Company ceased to qualify as a “controlled company” because the Significant Stockholder Group no longer controlled over 50% of the voting power for the election of the Company’s directors. Following the loss of controlled company status, the Nasdaq listing rules require that the Company comply with the independence requirements, as they relate to the nominating committee and compensation committee, on the following phase-in schedule: (1) one independent committee member at the time the Company ceased to be a controlled company, (2) a majority of independent committee members within 90 days of the date the Company ceased to be a controlled company and (3) all independent committee members within one year of the date the Company ceased to be a controlled company. Additionally, the Nasdaq rules provide a 12-month phase-in period from the date the Company ceased to be a controlled company to comply with the majority independent board requirement. On May 7, 2021, the board of directors voted that, consistent with Nasdaq rules, director nominees must either be selected, or recommended for the Board’s selection, by independent directors constituting a majority of the holders of our Founder Shares.

Currently, a majority of the members of the Audit Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present


is required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire Audit Committee constitutes a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written resolution ofour compensation committee are independent, and all of the members of the Audit Committee iscompensation committee must be required to approve a related party transaction. The Company also requires eachindependent by May 6, 2022. As disclosed herein, decisions about the compensation of its directors andour executive officers to complete a directors' and officers' questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions. These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairsmade by our board of directors based upon the independencerecommendation of a directorour compensation committee. None of our executive officers serves, or presents a conflict of interest onin the part of a director, employee or officer.

        To further minimize conflicts of interest, the Companypast has agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of its Sponsor, officers or directors unless the Company, or a committee of independent directors, has obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which isserved, as a member of FINRAthe board of directors or compensation committee, or other committee serving an independent accounting firmequivalent function, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who serve as members of our compensation committee or board of directors. None of the Company's initial business combinationmembers of our board of directors is fair froman 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 financial pointwritten code of view. Furthermore, no finder's fees, reimbursements or cash payments will be madeethics 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 > Corporate Governance > Documents & Charters) section of our website, which is located at www.organogenesis.com. If we make any substantive amendments to the Sponsor,code of ethics and conduct or grant any waivers from the Company'scode 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.

Policy Regarding Hedging

We have adopted a policy that prohibits our officers, or directors or its or their affiliates, for services rendered to the Company prior to or in connection with the completion of the Company's initial business combination.

        The Company's Audit Committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, the Company's officers or directors, or its or their affiliates.

Director Nomination Process

        The Company does not have a standing nominating committee. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the NASDAQ rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the Board. The Board believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the NASDAQ rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, the Company does not have a nominating committee charter in place.

        Prior to a business combination, the Board will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by holdersemployees from entering into any short sale of our Founder Shares duringsecurities, buying or selling publicly traded options on our common stock or hedging their positions in our securities, including through the use of instruments such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at an annual general meeting (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting). Prior to a business combination, holders of our Class A ordinary shares will not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to our board.prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars or exchange funds.

        The Company has not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the Board considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of the Company's business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of the Company's shareholders.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

        The Board recognizes that the leadership structure and combination or separation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles is driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time. As a result, no policy exists requiring combination or separation of leadership roles and the Company's governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. Currently, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles are separately held by Messrs. Burgstahler and Dean, respectively.

        The Board oversees the Company's risk management process directly and through its committees. The Board focuses on the Company's general risk management strategy and ensures that appropriate risk mitigation strategies are implemented by management, including in light of the Company's status as a Special Purpose Acquisition Company, or "SPAC," prior to the business combination.


Communicating with the Board

        Shareholders may communicate with the Board generally or a specific director at any time by writing to the Company's General Counsel and Secretary at Avista Healthcare Public Acquisition Corp., 65 East 55th Street, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10022. The Company reviews all messages received, and forwards any message that reasonably appears to be a communication from a shareholder about a matter of shareholder interest that is intended for communication to the Board.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting ComplianceReports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our ordinary sharesequity securities, to file reports of ownership of, and changestransactions in, ownershipour securities with the SEC.Securities and Exchange Commission. These reporting personsdirectors, executive officers and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely uponon a review of the copies of such Forms,forms received by us, and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year 2020 our directors, executive officers and ten-percent stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that a Form 4 with respect to sales of securities by Starr Wisdom was not timely filed and a Form 3 for Robert Ades, following his appointment to the Company’s board of directors, was not timely filed.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors met in person or by telephone eight times during fiscal year 2020. Other than Mr. Albert Erani and Mr. Maurice Ades, 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 served as a director, in fiscal year 2020.

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 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

Since we are no longer a controlled company and are now required under the Nasdaq listing rules to maintain a nominating committee comprised entirely of independent directors, the board of directors voted to establish a nominating committee consisting of Mr. Giacomin, its chairperson, and Mr. Leibowitz, on August 3, 2021. Each year, the nominating committee proposes a slate of director nominees to stockholders 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. In proposing nominees for our board of directors, the nominating committee takes into account the designation rights of the Significant Stockholder Group as set forth in the Controlling Stockholders Agreement dated as of December 10, 2018. 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.

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 Messrs. Leibowitz and Giacomin and Ms. Duraibabu) are entitled to receive the following annual retainer and committee fees for their service as directors:

for service as a director, an annual retainer of $50,000 (increased from $45,000 effective April 1, 2020);

for service as a chair of the audit committee, $105,000;

for service as a member of the audit committee other than as chair, $10,000;

for service as a chair of the compensation committee, $95,000;

for service as a member of the compensation committee other than as chair, $10,000;

for service as a chair of the nominating committee, $20,000 (effective August 3, 2021); and

for service as a member of the nominating committee other than as a chair, $10,000 (effective August 3, 2021).

On August 3, 2021, our board of directors appointed Mr. Leibowitz as interim chair of the compensation committee. His position as interim chair is intended to be temporary until he is replaced with a permanent chair, which we expect will occur in the first half of 2022. As compensation for his service as interim chair of the compensation committee, our board of directors awarded Mr. Leibowitz 5,000 restricted stock units that vest on August 3, 2022, subject to continued service on our board of directors. Mr. Leibowitz is not receiving any other compensation for his service as interim chair of the compensation committee.

Retainer and committee fees are paid in arrears. The independent directors who served on our board of directors in fiscal year 2020 were Messrs. Leibowitz, Mackie and Tamaroff. They each received an option award with respect to 30,000 shares of our Class A common stock in connection with their initial election to our board of directors in December 2018, which vests annually over three years, subject to continued service. We planned also to make an annual option grant to each of our independent directors with respect to 20,000 shares of our Class A common stock, vesting annually over three years, subject to continued service. However, our board of directors decided instead to make discretionary equity grants to our independent directors each year. Those discretionary grants consisted of the following equity awards to each independent director: (1) a grant in April 2020 of 18,564 restricted stock units, which vested on April 1, 2021; (2) a grant in February 2021 of 6,318 restricted stock units, which will vest on April 1, 2022, subject to continued service; and (3) a grant in February 2021 of 5,482 restricted stock units, which will vest on February 16, 2022, subject to continued service. 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, 2017 there were no delinquent filers.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Summary

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 half of each fiscal year, after the results of the previous fiscal year are known. Annual discretionary 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 on a discretionary basis based upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, generally during the first half of each fiscal year, after a review of the previous fiscal year’s results.

As previously disclosed, in fiscal year 2020, we were a controlled company within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq and were not required to have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. As of May 6, 2021, we ceased to be a controlled company within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules, and therefore will be required to have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors by May 6, 2022. 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 technology and biopharmaceutical 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. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations with regard to the compensation of our executive officers, which are reviewed by the compensation committee and the board of directors. 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.

In connection with its recommendations to the board of directors, the compensation committee periodically retains an independent compensation consultant to assess the competitiveness of the Company’s compensation levels and practice applicable to the Company’s executive officers. 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 2020, the compensation committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC as an independent compensation consultant to advise on executive officer and board compensation.

Our compensation committee and board of directors has reviewed our compensation programs and believes that our compensation programs have not encouraged or rewarded excessive or inappropriate risk taking.
