| STOCK PLANS | STOCK PLANS Stock Incentive Plans The Pacira BioSciences, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, or 2011 Plan, was originally adopted by the Company’s board of directors and approved by its stockholders in June 2011 and was amended and restated in June 2014, June 2016, June 2019, June 2021, June 2023 and June 2025. The 2011 Plan allows for the granting of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards—including PSUs. The Pacira BioSciences, Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Inducement Plan, or as amended and restated to date, the A&R Inducement Plan, was originally approved and adopted by the Company’s board of directors in April 2014, pursuant to which awards could be made to new employees as a material inducement to such persons entering into employment with the Company. The A&R Inducement Plan was amended and restated in December 2023, September 2024, January 2025 and January 2026. The January 2026 amendment and restatement added an additional 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to bring the total amount of shares reserved for issuance under the A&R Inducement Plan to 3,060,000, of which 703,390 shares remained available for issuance as of June 30, 2026, and extended the term of the A&R Inducement Plan such that it will now expire on January 1, 2036. The A&R Inducement Plan allows for the granting of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards. The A&R Inducement Plan was adopted by the board of directors without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In accordance with this rule, awards under the A&R Inducement Plan may only be made to an employee who has not previously been an employee or member of the board of directors or the board of directors or any parent or subsidiary, or following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company or a parent or subsidiary, if they are granted such award in connection with their commencement of employment with the Company or a subsidiary and such grant is an inducement material to their entering into employment with the Company or such subsidiary. Inducement Awards From time to time, the board of directors, upon recommendation of the People and Compensation Committee of the board of directors, has approved individually negotiated grants of options and restricted stock units for certain of the Company’s officers in connection with their respective appointments, in each case, pursuant to the inducement plan in effect at such time.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan In June 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP.

The ESPP features two six-month offering periods per year, running from January 1st to June 30th and July 1st to December 31st.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, 82,837 shares were purchased and issued through the ESPP.
