2025 Key Accomplishments

At Treace Medical, our mission is to be the recognized leader in the surgical treatment of bunions and related deformities. Millions of people suffer from bunions, which can have a significant impact on mobility and quality of life. Since our inception, we have worked closely with surgeons to understand and serve the large, unmet needs in the bunion market. In 2018, our Surgeon Advisory Board published a peer-reviewed paper describing four different classes of bunion deformities; these include (1) milder bunion deformities, (2) deformities that are more severe in nature, (3) bunions with a co-existing deformity of the midfoot, and (4) bunions with a co-existing arthritic great toe joint.

In 2025, we continued to execute our strategy to comprehensively address the evolving needs of surgeons and patients with an expanding portfolio of innovative bunion solutions and now offer solutions for all four bunion classes. To address moderate to severe bunions with a three-dimensional correction, our patented Lapiplasty® System leads the way in both market position and innovation with over 134,000 patients treated since late 2015. To address bunions with a co-existing deformity of the midfoot, we introduced our Adductoplasty® System in 2021. To address mild or moderate bunions, which surgeons may prefer to treat with a metatarsal osteotomy, we introduced two minimally invasive osteotomy systems that were fully commercially available in the second half of 2025: (1) the Nanoplasty® 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction System, and (2) the Percuplasty™ Percutaneous 3D Bunion Correction System. To address bunions with a co-existing arthritic great toe joint, we began the full commercial release, also in the second half of 2025, of the SpeedMTP® System which combines our SpeedPlate® compressive fixation technology with additive locking screws to provide surgeons with a new option for great toe fusions. In 2025, we also introduced other new products, including advanced surgical instrumentation, additional SpeedPlate configurations and single use osteotomes, and we made strides to reduce cash usage, enhance our sales force, and improve operations.

In 2026, we expect to release other new solutions to make bunion surgeries more efficient, reproducible and precise and look forward to sharing product and business developments with our stockholders in the year ahead.

Culture of Integrity and Focus on Sound Governance

At Treace Medical, we believe a strong culture of integrity and compliance is critically important to building a world-class business. Our board of directors recognizes that a key element of this culture is sound corporate governance. More information about our corporate governance practices is included in our proxy statement.

On behalf of the board of directors, the officers and employees of Treace Medical, I would like to thank our stockholders for their continued support. We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting.

Sincerely,

John T. Treace,

Chief Executive Officer, Chair of the Board and Founder
