This Registration Statement covers 750,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per
share, of Wright Medical Group, Inc. (the Common Stock) issuable pursuant to the Wright
Medical Group, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Plan authorizes the
issuance of a maximum of 750,000 shares of Common Stock, plus the number of shares of
common stock granted under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan that are not exercised or
forfeited, lapsed or expired, or otherwise terminate without delivery of any shares of any
common stock subject thereto, to the extent such common stock would otherwise again have
been available for issuance under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, this
Registration Statement covers such indeterminable number of additional shares of Common
Stock as may hereafter be offered or issued pursuant to the Plan to prevent dilution
resulting from stock splits or similar transactions effected without receipt of
consideration and pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act). |

These figures are estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the
registration fee. The registration fee has been calculated pursuant to paragraphs (c) and
(h) of Rule 457 under the Securities Act based upon the average of the high and low sales
prices of the Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 7, 2009. |

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (GCL) provides for the
indemnification of officers and directors under certain circumstances against expenses incurred in
successfully defending against a claim and authorizes Delaware corporations to indemnify their
officers and directors under certain circumstances
1
against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings involving such persons because of
their being or having been an officer or director.
Section 102(b) of the GCL permits a corporation, by so providing in its certificate of
incorporation, to eliminate or limit directors liability to the corporation and its shareholders
for monetary damages arising out of certain alleged breaches of their fiduciary duty. Section
102(b)(7) of the GCL provides that no such limitation of liability may affect a directors
liability with respect to any of the following: (i) breaches of the directors duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) acts or omissions not made in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct of knowing violations of law; (iii) liability for dividends paid or stock
repurchased or redeemed in violation of the GCL; or (iv) any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. Section 102(b)(7) does not authorize any limitation on the
ability of the corporation or its shareholders to obtain injunctive relief, specific performance or
other equitable relief against directors.
The Companys Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that
the Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent authorized or permitted under and in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, or employee or agent of the Company, or is or
was serving at the request of the Company in a similar capacity or in any other capacity with
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, and had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. However, each
director will continue to be subject to liability for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty
to the Company or the Companys stockholders and for acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law or, if in failing to act, the
director shall have acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
the law, or for any transaction in which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action shall (in the case of any action
involving a director of the Company) or may (in the case of any action involving an officer,
trustee, employee or agent) be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such
action as authorized by the board of directors upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the indemnified person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she in
not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
The Companys Second Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify any and
all of the Companys directors and officers, including former directors and officers, including
those serving as officer or director of any corporation at the request of the Company, to the
fullest extent permitted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
The Company has approved a form of indemnification agreement that provides for the indemnification
of directors and officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Companys annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
3
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Company
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
