On May 9, 2023, Cutera, Inc. (the “Company”) announced entry into (i) a cooperation agreement (the “Pura Vida Cooperation Agreement”) with Pura Vida Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with the funds it advises, “Pura Vida”) and (ii) a cooperation agreement (the “RTW Cooperation Agreement” and together with the Pura Vida Cooperation Agreement, the “Cooperation Agreements” and each a “Cooperation Agreement”) with RTW Investments, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (together with its affiliates and associates, “RTW” and together with Pura Vida, the “Investors,” and each an “Investor”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Cooperation Agreements, the Board will, following the Special Meeting of Stockholders currently scheduled for June 9, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), but in no case later than five (5) business days following the Special Meeting, appoint to the Board Taylor Harris, Kevin Cameron, Nicholas Lewin and Keith Sullivan (the “New Independent Directors”). The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) will, as promptly as practicable following the Special Meeting, increase the size of the Board to the extent necessary to create vacant director seats to enable the appointment of the New Independent Directors.

Furthermore, the Board will, with respect to the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”): (i) nominate the New Independent Directors and Janet D. Widmann, Sheila A. Hopkins, and Juliane T. Park (the “Continuing Directors” and, collectively, with the New Independent Directors, the “Board Slate”) for election to the Board; (ii) recommend to the stockholders of the Company the election of the Board Slate to the Board; (iii) solicit proxies in favor of the election of the Board Slate to the Board; and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the election of the New Independent Directors at the 2023 Annual Meeting and otherwise support the New Independent Directors for election in a manner no less rigorous or favorable than the manner in which the Board supports any other nominees.

Following the 2023 Annual Meeting, the size of the Board will be fixed at seven (7) directors until the appointment of a new permanent Chief Executive Officer (the “Permanent CEO”), at which time the size of the Board will be increased accordingly, and the Permanent CEO will be appointed to the Board. If the appointment of the Permanent CEO occurs before the 2023 Annual Meeting, then the Permanent CEO will be included in the Board Slate and the size of the Board will be increased accordingly as of the 2023 Annual Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Board will be permitted to increase the size of the Board if 66.6% of the directors so consent. The determination of the Permanent CEO will require consent of a majority of the directors of the Board.

The Cooperation Agreements further provide, among other things, that:

Exhibit 10.1

COOPERATION AGREEMENT

This COOPERATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 9, 2023, by and between Cutera, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Pura Vida Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with the funds it advises, “Investor”). The Company and Investor are each herein referred to as a “party” and collectively, the “parties.” Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16 of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company and RTW Investments, LP, a stockholder of the Company (together with its Affiliates and Associates, the “Other Investor”), have engaged in certain discussions concerning the Company and determined to come to an agreement with respect to the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and certain other matters; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Investor have engaged in similar discussions concerning the Company and determined to come to an agreement with respect to the composition of the Board and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

(a)    The Board shall, as promptly as practicable following the Special Meeting of Stockholders currently scheduled for June 9, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), increase the size of the Board only to the extent necessary to create newly vacant director seats to enable the appointment of the New Independent Directors (as defined below, and such increase, the “Board Size Increase”); provided, however, that if the Board publicly announces that the Special Meeting shall not be held, the Board shall, as promptly as practicable following such announcement, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days following such announcement, implement the Board Size Increase.

(b)    The Board shall, as promptly as practicable following the Special Meeting, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days following the Special Meeting, appoint Taylor Harris (the “Investor-Sourced Director”) to the Board to fill the vacancies resulting from the increase in the size of the Board as set forth in Section 1(a) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Board publicly announces that the Special Meeting shall not be held, the Board shall, as promptly as practicable following such announcement, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days following such announcement, appoint the Investor-Sourced Director. The onboarding of the Investor-Sourced Director shall be through a reasonable and customary process no more onerous, burdensome or time consuming than the process for onboarding any other director to the Board, and there shall be no procedure, policy or other obstacle implemented with the intent or effect of prejudicing the Investor-Sourced Director’s ability to timely join the Board. The Company shall exercise reasonable best efforts, in cooperation with Investor, to ensure that the Investor-Sourced Director is found independent by the relevant regulatory entities.

(c)    The Board shall, as promptly as practicable following the Special Meeting, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days following the Special Meeting, appoint Kevin Cameron, Nicholas Lewin and Keith Sullivan (the “Other New Directors,” and collectively with the Investor-Sourced Director, the “New Independent Directors”) to the Board to fill the vacancies resulting from the increase in the size of the Board as set forth in Section 1(a) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Board publicly announces that the Special Meeting shall not be held, the Board shall, as promptly as practicable following such announcement, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days following such announcement, appoint the Other New Directors.

(d)    The Board shall, with respect to the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”): (i) nominate the New Independent Directors and Janet D. Widmann, Sheila A. Hopkins, and Juliane T. Park (the “Continuing Directors” and, collectively with the New Independent Directors, the “Board Slate”), and no other individuals, for election to the Board; (ii) recommend to the stockholders of the Company the election of the Board Slate to the Board; (iii) solicit proxies in favor of the election of the Board Slate to the Board; and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the election of the New Independent Directors at the 2023 Annual Meeting and otherwise support the New Independent Directors for election in a manner no less rigorous or favorable than the manner in which the Board supports any other nominees.

(e)    Following the 2023 Annual Meeting, the size of the Board shall be fixed at seven (7) directors until the appointment of a new permanent Chief Executive Officer (the “Permanent CEO”), at which time the size of the Board shall be increased accordingly, and the Permanent CEO shall be appointed to the Board. If the appointment of the Permanent CEO occurs before the 2023 Annual Meeting, then the Permanent CEO shall be included in the Board Slate and the size of the Board shall be increased accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Board shall be permitted to increase the size of the Board if 66.6% of the directors so consent.

(f)    The determination of the Permanent CEO shall require consent of a majority of the directors of the Board. The Company shall seek to conclude its search for the Permanent CEO as soon as practicable following the appointment of the New Independent Directors.

(g)    The Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall, in accordance with the Board’s customary governance processes, give the New Independent Directors the same due consideration for membership to any committee of the Board as any other independent director with similar relevant expertise and qualifications, subject to applicable rules of the SEC and of any stock exchange on which the Company is traded.

(h)    Until the Termination Date and as long as Investor and its Affiliates’ Net Long Position exceeds four percent (4%) or more of the Common Stock (as defined below), if any of the Investor-Sourced Directors ceases to serve as a director of the Company for any reason whatsoever, Investor shall be entitled to propose another individual to replace such director (a “Replacement Director”) in writing. The Board shall have the right to approve any such Replacement Director, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (provided, however, that, if the Board determines that any such Replacement Director would not be an “independent director” under Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules, would not comply with the Guidelines or would be an Affiliate or Associate of Investor, the Other Investor or Voce (as defined below), the Board’s

2

disapproval of such Replacement Director shall be reasonable). If the Board does not approve any such proposed Replacement Director, Investor shall have the right to continue proposing Replacement Directors until a Replacement Director is approved by the Board, at which time the Board shall take all necessary actions to cause such Replacement Director to be appointed to the Board. The Board shall express its approval or disapproval of any proposed Replacement Director to Investor no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following such proposal. In the event that the Board fails to express its approval or disapproval of any such proposed Replacement Director to Investor in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days following such proposal, such proposed Replacement Director shall be deemed approved by the Board and the Board shall promptly take all necessary action to cause such Replacement Director to be appointed to the Board. The references in this Agreement to the Investor-Sourced Director shall be deemed to include any Replacement Directors.

(i)    Each of the directors serving, as of the date of this Agreement, as the chair of the Board, the chairs of each of the committees of the Board, and as members of each of the committees of the Board shall remain unchanged until the day after the 2023 Annual Meeting. As soon as practicable following the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Board shall meet to appoint a chair of the Board and to determine committee assignments and responsibilities.

(j)    The Company shall, as promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to enter into a consulting agreement on customary terms with Mr. Harris.

(k)    The Company shall, as promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to appoint Dr. Ashish Bhatia and Dr. Emmy Graber as senior medical advisors to the Board to serve in such advisory roles on customary terms.

(a)    Prior to the Termination Date, Investor shall, or shall cause its Representatives to, appear in person or by proxy at each Stockholder Meeting and to vote all shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), beneficially owned by Investor and over which it has voting power (i) in favor of each director nominated and recommended by the Board for election, (ii) against any nominations for directors that are not approved and recommended by the Board for election and (iii) against any proposals or resolutions to remove any member of the Board or otherwise similar proposals. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) at the 2023 Annual Meeting, Investor shall vote for any nominee to the Board who is a member of the Board Slate and withhold or not vote for any other nominee to the Board and (ii) Investor shall vote against the removal of the Continuing Directors, Gregory A. Barrett, and Timothy J. O’Shea (collectively, the “Targeted Directors”) and against all other proposals at the Special Meeting.

(b)    At the request of the Company, prior to the Termination Date, Investor shall, if requested by the Company (and at the Company’s expense), make a public statement opposing the removal of the Targeted Directors at the Special Meeting and supporting the election of the Board Slate at the 2023 Annual Meeting, such public statement to be made in coordination with the Company.

provided, however, that (i) the restrictions in this Section 3 shall not prevent, prohibit or restrict Investor or its Representatives from making (A) any factual statement as required by applicable legal process, subpoena or legal requirement from any governmental authority with competent jurisdiction over the party from whom information is sought (so long as such request did not arise as a result of action by Investor), (B) any private or confidential communication to or with the Board or any officer or director of the Company or legal counsel that is not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, trigger or require any public disclosure of such communications for any of the parties or (C) any private or confidential communication regarding the Company to or with Investor’s or its controlled Affiliates’ investors or potential investors that is not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, trigger or require any public disclosure of such communications for any of the parties and (ii) the restrictions in this Section 3 shall not restrict Investor or its Representatives from tendering shares, receiving payment for shares or otherwise participating in any such transaction on the same basis as the other stockholders of the Company or from participating in any such transaction that has been approved by the Board, subject to the other terms of this Agreement.

4.    Mutual Non-Disparagement. Prior to the Termination Date, each party shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives, to make any public statement that undermines, disparages or otherwise reflects detrimentally on the other party, the other party’s current or former directors in their capacity as such, officers or employees (including with respect to such persons’ service at the other party), the other party’s subsidiaries, or the business of the other party’s subsidiaries or any of its or its subsidiaries’ current directors, officers or employees, including the business and current or former directors, officers and employees of the other party’s controlled Affiliates, as applicable.

The parties agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any lawsuit, claim or proceeding before any court (each, a “Legal Proceeding”) arising out of or related to this Agreement shall exclusively lie in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or, if jurisdiction is vested exclusively in the Federal courts of the United States, the Federal courts of the United States sitting in the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from any such state or Federal court.

Exhibit 10.2

COOPERATION AGREEMENT

This COOPERATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 9, 2023, by and between Cutera, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and RTW Investments, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (together with its affiliates and associates, “Investor”). The Company and Investor are each herein referred to as a “party” and collectively, the “parties.” Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16 of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company and Pura Vida Investments, LLC a stockholder of the Company (together with its Affiliates and Associates, the “Other Investor”), have engaged in certain discussions concerning the Company and determined to come to an agreement with respect to the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and certain other matters; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Investor have engaged in similar discussions concerning the Company and determined to come to an agreement with respect to the composition of the Board and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

(a)    The Board shall, as promptly as practicable following the Special Meeting of Stockholders currently scheduled for June 9, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), increase the size of the Board only to the extent necessary to create newly vacant director seats to enable the appointment of the New Independent Directors (as defined below, and such increase, the “Board Size Increase”); provided, however, that if the Board publicly announces that the Special Meeting shall not be held, the Board shall, as promptly as practicable following such announcement, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days following such announcement, implement the Board Size Increase.

(b)    The Board shall, as promptly as practicable following the Special Meeting, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days following the Special Meeting, appoint Nicholas Lewin (the “Investor-Sourced Director”) to the Board to fill the vacancies resulting from the increase in the size of the Board as set forth in Section 1(a) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Board publicly announces that the Special Meeting shall not be held, the Board shall, as promptly as practicable following such announcement, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days following such announcement, appoint the Investor-Sourced Director. The onboarding of the Investor-Sourced Director shall be through a reasonable and customary process no more onerous, burdensome or time consuming than the process for onboarding any other director to the Board, and there shall be no procedure, policy or other obstacle implemented with the intent or effect of prejudicing the Investor-Sourced Director’s ability to timely join the Board. The Company shall exercise reasonable best efforts, in cooperation with Investor, to ensure that the Investor-Sourced Director is found independent by the relevant regulatory entities.

(c)    The Board shall, as promptly as practicable following the Special Meeting, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days following the Special Meeting, appoint Kevin Cameron, Taylor Harris and Keith Sullivan (the “Other New Directors,” and collectively with the Investor-Sourced Director, the “New Independent Directors”) to the Board to fill the vacancies resulting from the increase in the size of the Board as set forth in Section 1(a) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Board publicly announces that the Special Meeting shall not be held, the Board shall, as promptly as practicable following such announcement, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days following such announcement, appoint the Other New Directors.

(d)    The Board shall, with respect to the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”): (i) nominate the New Independent Directors and Janet D. Widmann, Sheila A. Hopkins, and Juliane T. Park (the “Continuing Directors” and, collectively with the New Independent Directors, the “Board Slate”), and no other individuals, for election to the Board; (ii) recommend to the stockholders of the Company the election of the Board Slate to the Board; (iii) solicit proxies in favor of the election of the Board Slate to the Board; and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the election of the New Independent Directors at the 2023 Annual Meeting and otherwise support the New Independent Directors for election in a manner no less rigorous or favorable than the manner in which the Board supports any other nominees.

(e)    Following the 2023 Annual Meeting, the size of the Board shall be fixed at seven (7) directors until the appointment of a new permanent Chief Executive Officer (the “Permanent CEO”), at which time the size of the Board shall be increased accordingly, and the Permanent CEO shall be appointed to the Board. If the appointment of the Permanent CEO occurs before the 2023 Annual Meeting, then the Permanent CEO shall be included in the Board Slate and the size of the Board shall be increased accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Board shall be permitted to increase the size of the Board if 66.6% of the directors so consent.

(f)    The determination of the Permanent CEO shall require consent of a majority of the directors of the Board. The Company shall seek to conclude its search for the Permanent CEO as soon as practicable following the appointment of the New Independent Directors.

(g)    The Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall, in accordance with the Board’s customary governance processes, give the New Independent Directors the same due consideration for membership to any committee of the Board as any other independent director with similar relevant expertise and qualifications, subject to applicable rules of the SEC and of any stock exchange on which the Company is traded.

(h)    Until the Termination Date and as long as Investor and its Affiliates’ Net Long Position exceeds four percent (4%) or more of the Common Stock (as defined below), if any of the Investor-Sourced Directors ceases to serve as a director of the Company for any reason whatsoever, Investor shall be entitled to propose another individual to replace such director (a “Replacement Director”) in writing. The Board shall have the right to approve any such Replacement Director, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (provided, however, that, if the Board determines that any such Replacement Director would not be an “independent director” under Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules, would not comply with the Guidelines or would be an Affiliate or Associate of Investor, the Other Investor or Voce (as defined below), the Board’s

2

disapproval of such Replacement Director shall be reasonable). If the Board does not approve any such proposed Replacement Director, Investor shall have the right to continue proposing Replacement Directors until a Replacement Director is approved by the Board, at which time the Board shall take all necessary actions to cause such Replacement Director to be appointed to the Board. The Board shall express its approval or disapproval of any proposed Replacement Director to Investor no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following such proposal. In the event that the Board fails to express its approval or disapproval of any such proposed Replacement Director to Investor in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days following such proposal, such proposed Replacement Director shall be deemed approved by the Board and the Board shall promptly take all necessary action to cause such Replacement Director to be appointed to the Board. The references in this Agreement to the Investor-Sourced Director shall be deemed to include any Replacement Directors.

(i)    Each of the directors serving, as of the date of this Agreement, as the chair of the Board, the chairs of each of the committees of the Board, and as members of each of the committees of the Board shall remain unchanged until the day after the 2023 Annual Meeting. As soon as practicable following the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Board shall meet to appoint a chair of the Board and to determine committee assignments and responsibilities.

(j)    The Company shall, as promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to enter into a consulting agreement on customary terms with Mr. Harris.

(k)    The Company shall, as promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to appoint Dr. Ashish Bhatia and Dr. Emmy Graber as senior medical advisors to the Board to serve in such advisory roles on customary terms.

(a)    Prior to the Termination Date, Investor shall, or shall cause its Representatives to, appear in person or by proxy at each Stockholder Meeting and to vote all shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), beneficially owned by Investor and over which it has voting power (i) in favor of each director nominated and recommended by the Board for election, (ii) against any nominations for directors that are not approved and recommended by the Board for election and (iii) against any proposals or resolutions to remove any member of the Board or otherwise similar proposals. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) at the 2023 Annual Meeting, Investor shall vote for any nominee to the Board who is a member of the Board Slate and withhold or not vote for any other nominee to the Board and (ii) Investor shall vote against the removal of the Continuing Directors, Gregory A. Barrett, and Timothy J. O’Shea (collectively, the “Targeted Directors”) and against all other proposals at the Special Meeting.

(b)    At the request of the Company, prior to the Termination Date, Investor shall, if requested by the Company (and at the Company’s expense), make a public statement opposing the removal of the Targeted Directors at the Special Meeting and supporting the election of the Board Slate at the 2023 Annual Meeting, such public statement to be made in coordination with the Company.

provided, however, that (i) the restrictions in this Section 3 shall not prevent, prohibit or restrict Investor or its Representatives from making (A) any factual statement as required by applicable legal process, subpoena or legal requirement from any governmental authority with competent jurisdiction over the party from whom information is sought (so long as such request did not arise as a result of action by Investor), (B) any private or confidential communication to or with the Board or any officer or director of the Company or legal counsel that is not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, trigger or require any public disclosure of such communications for any of the parties or (C) any private or confidential communication regarding the Company to or with Investor’s or its controlled Affiliates’ investors or potential investors that is not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, trigger or require any public disclosure of such communications for any of the parties and (ii) the restrictions in this Section 3 shall not restrict Investor or its Representatives from tendering shares, receiving payment for shares or otherwise participating in any such transaction on the same basis as the other stockholders of the Company or from participating in any such transaction that has been approved by the Board, subject to the other terms of this Agreement.

4.    Mutual Non-Disparagement. Prior to the Termination Date, each party shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives, to make any public statement that undermines, disparages or otherwise reflects detrimentally on the other party, the other party’s current or former directors in their capacity as such, officers or employees (including with respect to such persons’ service at the other party), the other party’s subsidiaries, or the business of the other party’s subsidiaries or any of its or its subsidiaries’ current directors, officers or employees, including the business and current or former directors, officers and employees of the other party’s controlled Affiliates, as applicable.

Pura Vida and RTW to Vote Against Removal of Directors at the Special Meeting and Support the Company’s Slate of Director Nominees at the 2023 Annual Meeting

May 09, 2023 05:09 PM Eastern Daylight Time

BRISBANE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—CUTERA, INC. (“Cutera” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CUTR), a leading provider of aesthetic and dermatology solutions, today announced that it has entered into cooperation agreements (the “Agreements”) with two of its largest stockholders, Pura Vida Investments, LLC (“Pura Vida”) and RTW Investments, LP (“RTW”), which collectively own more than 15% of the Company’s outstanding shares. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company will appoint Kevin J. Cameron, Taylor C. Harris, Nicholas S. Lewin and Keith J. Sullivan (the “New Independent Directors”) to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) following the Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to be held on June 9, 2023. Mr. Harris will also serve as a special advisor and consultant to the Company.

The New Independent Directors and three incumbent directors, Janet D. Widmann, Sheila A. Hopkins, and Juliane T. Park (the “Board Slate”), will be nominated for election to the Board at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Company anticipates that its new permanent CEO, when identified and hired, will also join the Board.

In connection with the agreement, Pura Vida and RTW have agreed to vote against the removal of directors at the upcoming Special Meeting and to support the Board Slate at the Annual Meeting.

Janet D. Widmann, Chair of the Cutera Board of Directors, said, “As Cutera evolves, ensuring that our Board has the skills and expertise to oversee the strategy and execution of the business is paramount. We appreciate the time and input of our stockholders, including Pura Vida and RTW, as we reconstitute the Board to ensure diverse perspectives and relevant experience are present on the Board. We look forward to welcoming the new directors to our Board.”

Efrem Kamen, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Pura Vida, commented, “As long-term investors, we recognize and appreciate the Special Committee’s efforts to work on behalf of, and protect the interests of, all stockholders. While inconceivable that Cutera was put in this situation, we believe today’s announcement best positions the Company for long- term success. We are pleased with the anticipated appointments of Kevin, Taylor, Nick and Keith and believe they will further advance the Company’s efforts to build long-term value for stockholders.”

“The Company has benefited enormously from the contributions of Greg Barrett and Tim O’Shea, and we thank them for their years of dedicated service to Cutera and our stockholders,” concluded Ms. Widmann. “These excellent directors never lost focus on the importance of the work we do as a Board or the goal of enhancing stockholder value.”

The Agreement includes customary standstill and related provisions. The full agreements between Cutera and Pura Vida and RTW will be filed on a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company continues to seek ways to resolve its ongoing dispute with J. Daniel Plants and David H. Mowry and is in active discussions with Mr. Mowry toward that end.
