These Post-Effective Amendments
(collectively, the Post-Effective Amendments) to: with respect to the 1999 LTIP, Registration Statement Nos. 333-78987, 333-90444, 333-124202 and 333-162834; with respect to the 2006 SIP, Registration Statement No. 333-136453; with respect to the A&R LTIP,

Amendment
and Restatement of Plans
Additionally, on December 12, 2019, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the
Registrants Board of Directors, the Registrants Board of Directors unanimously approved the Amended and Restated 2020 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan of CONMED Corporation (the
2020 NEDP), which supercedes the 2016 NEDP, as well as the CONMED Corporation Amended and Restated 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2020 ESPP), which supercedes the 2002 ESPP, in each case, subject to
shareholder approval. The Registrants shareholders approved the 2020 NEDP and the 2020 ESPP on May 21, 2020.
Under the terms
of the 2020 NEDP, effective as of May 21, 2020, no new grants may be issued under the 2016 NEDP, and the Predecessor Common Stock previously registered and authorized for issuance under the 2016 NEDP will be eligible for issuance under the 2020
NEDP to the extent such Predecessor Common Stock remains available for issuance as of May 21, 2020. As of May 21, 2020, there were 64,609 shares of Predecessor Common Stock previously registered and available for issuance under the 2016
NEDP. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking in Item 512(a)(1)(iii) of Regulation S-K that the Registrant disclose a material change in the plan of distribution as it was originally disclosed in the Form S-8 Registration Statement No. 333-214299, filed October 28, 2016 (the Prior NEDP Registration Statement), the Registrant is filing this
Post-Effective Amendment to the Prior NEDP Registration Statement to reflect that, as of May 21, 2020, the Predecessor Common Stock (as converted to Registrant Common Stock in connection with the Reincorporation Merger) available for issuance
under the Prior NEDP Registration Statement as described above will no longer be issued under the 2016 NEDP and may instead become available for issuance under the 2020 NEDP.
