Manufacturing, Inc., Arthrez, Inc. and RES Collier Holdings, LLC for the Fee Payment
Assistance Program, the Job Creation Investment Program and the Advanced Broadband
Infrastructure Investment Program, consistent with the provisions of Chapter 49 of the
Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances and the company's approved incentive
application. (Fiscal Impact: 5397,514 — Fiscal Year 2012)
OBJECTIVE; Approval of a Job Creation Investment, Advanced Broadband Infrastructure
Investment and two Fee Payment Assistance Agreements with Arthrex Manufacturing, Inc. and
Arthrex, Inc. (collectively "Arthrex") and RES Collier Holdings, LLC (Fee Payment Assistance
— Eastern Collier County) consistent with the provisions of Chapter 49 of the Collier County
Code of Laws and Ordinances ( Code) and the company's incentive application, which was
approved June 28, 2011.
CONSIDE,RATIQNS: The Economic Incentive Programs, established by Collier County, are
intended to:
(1) Provide performance-based programs offering financial relief for eligible targeted
industry development or expansion projects in Collier County to mitigate the effects of
rising development costs;
(2) Provide for the economic well being of Collier County residents by providing
high -wage employment opportunities in Collier County;
(3), Lessen the seasonal cycle of Collier County's economy; and
(4) Encourage investment opportunities for new or existing companies thus
increasing and diversifying the county's tax base.
Collier County currently offers six local incentive programs. These programs are Fee Payment
Assistance, Property Tax Stimulus, Job Creation Investment, Advanced Broadband Infrastructure
Investment, Job Retention Investment and the Fast Track Regulatory Process Program. In order
to qualify to participate in the programs a new or expanding business must meet specified criteria
relaxed to the type of industry proposed, number of jobs created and/or retained and the average
wage of the new and/or retained jobs.
The individual programs have been adopted by the Board of County of County Commissioners
(Board) and are codified in Chapter 49 of the Code. The current Fast Track Regulatory Process
Program was adopted by the Board on January 24, 2006, via Resolution No. 2006 -12.
On June 28, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners approved the June 9, 2011 application by
Arthrex to participate in the Fee Payment Assistance Program, the Job Creation Investment
Program and the Advanced Broadband Infrastructure Investment Program (item IOA). The
proposed project involves a 5 -year, multi-step expansion plan with a capital investment of over
$47 million and the creation of 600 new Collier County jobs.

1/24/2012 Item 1 O.A.
The approval of an economic stimulus package consists of two steps:
(1) Approval of the Economic Stimulus Program Application (June 28, 2011); and
(2) Final approval of the Program Agreements.
This is the second step in the approval process. As directed at the June 28, 2011 BCC meeting,
the Incentive Program Agreements have been prepared by the County Attorney for Board review
and approval. Each Agreement is subject to the availability of funding, and the Programs are
nerfgM@= based. "Job verification" as well as o "
"pr gram compliance monitoring is performed
by the Impact Fee Administration Section of the Growth Management Division. The attached
Agreements are as follows:
Fee Payment Assistance — East (secured with a lien in the amount of impact fees
provided)
Fee Payment Assistance — West (secured with alien in the amount of impact fees
provided)
Job Creation (600 jobs — performance based)
Broadband (up to $25,000 - performance based - for use at either or both east and west
sites)
For the purposes of the Fee Payment Assistance Agreement for the Eastern Collier County site, a
third party, the landowner, RES Collier Holdings, LLC is included as a parry to the Agreement
as the corporation will be leasing the land to Arthrex.
FISCAL IlOACT: Local economic incentive programs are subject to the availability of
funding as budgeted by the Board annually through the General Fund (001). A fiscal impact of
$597,514 is proposed for Fiscal Year 2012. Exhibit A provides specific Program budget details.
The total estimated fiscal impact of this economic incentive package is $2,297,514 as follows:
Job Creation InvesMent Impact: Based on the phased creation of the projected 600 jobs,
Arthrex is eligible for an incentive of $1.2 million paid over five (5) Years. Job Creation payment
is performance based, therefore following the creation and validation of the new jobs in each
phase, payment for that phase will be made in three (3) equal payments over the following three
(3) years. Exhibit B provides the estimated incentive award payouts, per fiscal year, based on the
applicant's job creation schedule.
Advance Broadband Infrastructure Investment Impact: Up to $25,000 (a reimbursable 'expense)
may be used to install Broadband systems at either or both of the western or eastern locations.
Exhibit B provides the estimated Broadband incentive award payouts, per fiscal year, based on
the job creation schedule.
Fee Payment Assistance impact: The calculations in Exhibit B are for 198,699 square feet of new
building in Eastern Collier County. Additionally, the company proposes to renovate/expand the
Western Collier (Creekside) campus by a total of 100,000 square feet. Based on the proposed
capital investment of $47 million, Arthrex is eligible for a total incentive of $2,011,882; however
the incentive award may not exceed the actual amount of impact fees assessed Therefore, the
estimated impact to the County is $597,514 for eastern Collier location and $475,000 for western
Packet Page -714
1/24/2012 Item 10.A.
^ Collier — total of $1,072,514. Based on ongoing discussions with Arthrex, the estimate for the
impact fees for Western Collier remains reasonable.
Changes from the original estimated incentive budget schedule are as follows:
• The June 28, 2011 - Exhibit F that was presented as backup has been modified and
incorporated herein as Exhibit B for this executive summary. Information gathered
since June 28, 2011 to complete the Impact Fee Assistance Agreement further
clarified the distribution of major capital investment noted in Arthrex's
application. The June 28`s spreadsheet provided $28 million in Eastern Collier and
$22 million in Western Collier. The $3 million allocated in 2013 for land purchase
was allocated for Eastern Collier when it actually was for a Western Collier land
purchase. Further, this purchase was accelerated and therefore is no longer being
included in the capital investment calculations. The capital investment in Exhibit
B is now divided as $25 million in Eastern Collier and $22 million in Western
Collier. This adjustment has a minimal impact on the maximum incentive award
for Eastern Collier, equaling a reduction of $128,418.
• Timing of payment. The original estimate provided for payment of a portion of
the Fee Payment Assistance funds (East) to be paid in FY 2011 with the balance
paid over a 5 -year period. Due to the timing of submittal of the Site Development
Plan (SDP) and pending Building Permit Application, the Fee Payment
Assistance funds, used to pay the required impact fees, will be utilized, upon
approval, in FY 2012. With respect to the 5 -year payments, which were proposed
as an internal funding mechanism, Arthrex has requested that the full impact fee
amount ($597,514) be provided, which is consistent with prior use of this
Program. There is adequate funding available in the FY 2012 Economic
Incentive budget to accommodate this request. Future payments related to this
incentive package remain subject to annual appropriation.
• Fee Payment Assistance Amount. The original Eastern Collier estimate provided
an incentive award calculated at $565,198 based on the construction of a 180,000
square foot building. Based on the information submitted on the SDP the square
footage to be used for the impact fee calculations is 198,699 square feet.
Therefore, impact fees are calculated to total $597,514. This amount is still well
within the threshold of the maximum incentive award of $1,070,150. The Fee
Payment Assistance funds provided may not exceed the actual impact fees due.
As stated above, adequate funds are available within the FY 2012 Economic Development
Budget to accommodate the Fee Payment Assistance award of $597,514, for the impact fees for
the Arthrex Eastern Collier County project by utilizing funds specifically budgeted for Arthrex
and funds that were budgeted for the Public/Private Partnership with the Economic Development
Council of Collier County, which has been dissolved. The remaining incentive awards (Fee
Payment Assistance — West, Job Creation and Broadband) are subject to the availability of
funding, with the next potential award scheduled in FY 2014.

1/24/2012 Item 10.A.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Objective 3 of the n
Economic Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan which states: "Collier
County will support programs which are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of
new industry as well as the expansion and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the
County's economic base."
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The County Attorney worked with staff to prepare the
proposed Agreements, which are consistent with the requirements and provisions of Chapter 49
of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances and are legally sufficient for Board
consideration and approval. Staff has elected to bring to the Board these four Agreements in a
single Executive Summary due to the overlapping facts and circumstances. The Board need not
vote on these Agreements as a "package," however, and may elect to vote on each Agreement
separately. Each of these four Agreements requires majority support for approval. These
Agreements are the standard form agreements for these programs; the terms and conditions set
forth in this proposal is consistent with all other prior program awards by the Board. - JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve, and authorize the
Chairman to sign, the required program agreements with Arthrex Manufacturing, Inc., Arthrex,
Inc. and RES Collier Holdings, LLC for the Fee Payment Assistance Program, the Job Creation
Investment Program and the Advanced Broadband Infrastructure Investment Program, consistent
with the provisions of Chapter 49 of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances and the
company's approved incentive application.

Any outstanding (i.e., as yet not repaid) impact fee amounts previously paid under this Program
win become due and payable and must then be immediately repaid to the County in the. event of
sale or transfer prior to expiration of the Program obligation period.
7. On Arthrex's request, and at the County's sole option, the County's interest may
be subordinated to all first mortgages or other co -equal security interests. The County's interest
will automatically be subordinate to the previously recorded first mortgage and/or any
government f ended affordable business loan such as the U.S. Small Business Administration
(SBA) or the U.S.. Department of Agriculture (USDA) loan.
8. This Agreement will expire 10 years after the first Certificate of Occupancy has
been issued for the Project. Following this expiration, and upon satisfactory completion of all
requirements of this Agreement, at the then property owner's request and sole expense, the
County will record any necessary documentation evidencing same, including, but not limited to,
a release of lien. The lien will not terminate except upon the recording of a release or
satisfaction of lien in the public records of Collier County.

determine whether there has been good faith compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
Ard= shall give the County reviewer full access to its business records and business premises
as required to certify the created jobs. If the County Manager or his designee finds, on the basis
of substantial competent evidence, that there has been a failure to comply with the terms of this
Agreement, the Agreement may be revoked or unilaterally modified by the County. Arthrex
shall be given 10 business days prior written notice of any review, In addition to an annual
review, within 10 business days from the County's written request, Arthrex will provide the
County with all requested documentation required to verify compliance with the terms of the
Ordinance or this Agreement. In the event Arthrex is in default under this Agreement, and the
default is not cured within 30 days after written notice is provided to Arthrex, the County may
bring a civil action to enforce this Agreement or declare that program's payment of the impact
fees not yet recouped and previously paid under this program are thence immediately due and
payable. The County is entitled to recover all fees and costs, including attorney's fees and costs,
incurred by the County in enforcing this Agreement, plus interest at the then maximum statutory
rate for final judgments, calculated on a calendar day basis until paid. These rights and remedies
of the County are in addition to any other rights and remedies that the County may have should
Arthrex be in default or otherwise violate the terms of the Ordinance or this Agreement.
10. By way of example and not as a limitation, this Agreement will be in substantial
breach upon the following events: (1) any change in the status of the business or project such that
it no longer meets the required Program criteria, as set forth in either the Ordinance or this
Agreement; (2) failure to fully comply with all reasonable requests during any County review
conducted pursuant to this Agreement; (3) upon the County Manager or his designee being
informed of a material misrepresentation in the Application; (4) 20 new jobs are not in place by

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the application by Arthrex, Inc. and Arthrex Manufacturing, Inc.
to participate in the Fee Payment Assistance Program, the Job Creation Investment Program,
the Advance Broadband Infrastructure Investment Program, and the Fast Track Regulatory
Process Program. (Fiscal Impact Estimate: $2,282,969)
OBJECTIVE: To receive Board of County Commissioners approval of the June 9, 2011 economic
stimulus program application (Exhibit A) by Arthrex, Inc. and Arthrex Manufacturing, Inc. ( "Arthrex ")
to participate in the Fee Payment Assistance Program, the Job Creation Investment Program, the
Advance Broadband Infrastructure Investment Program, and the Fast Track Regulatory Process
Program.
BACKGROUND: The Economic Incentive Programs, established by Collier County, are intended to:
(1) Provide performance -based programs offering financial relief for eligible targeted
industry development or expansion projects in Collier County to mitigate the effects
of rising development costs;
(2) Provide for the economic well being of Collier County residents by providing
high -wage employment opportunities in Collier County;
(3) Lessen the seasonal cycle of Collier County's economy; and
(4) Encourage investment opportunities for new or existing companies thus
increasing and diversifying the county's tax base.
Collier County offers six local incentive programs. Each program is codified in Chapter 49 of the
Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances (Exhibit B). To participate in these programs a new or
expanding business must meet specified criteria related to the type of industry proposed, number of
jobs created and the average wage of the new jobs.
GENERAL PROJECT OVERVIEW: Arthrex is a privately held corporation and a long- established
member of the Collier County business community. The company is committed to providing the finest
quality products and educational services to meet the special needs of orthopedic surgeons and their
patients. Since locating in Florida in 1991, the company has experienced exceptional growth and now
employs 1,029 people at their Collier County location.
Currently Arthrex is proposing to undertake a 5 -year, multi -step expansion plan with a capital
investment of $50 million that includes construction of a new 160,000sf building footprint facility in
Eastern Collier County (with 20,000 of second floor mezzanine office space), 100,000sf of
renovation/expansion at the Arthrex Creekside complex, $20 million purchase of new equipment, and
the creation of 600 new Collier County jobs.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 9, 2011, the Economic Development Council submitted a revised
Economic Stimulus Program Recommendation Form (Exhibit A) changing Arthrex's ( Arthrex, Inc.
and Arthrex Manufacturing, Inc.) original May 18, 2011 economic stimulus program application to
change their economic stimulus participation to:
• Fee Payment Assistance Program
Packet Page -754-
1/24/2012 Item 10.A.
• Job Creation Investment Program
• Advance Broadband Infrastructure Investment Program
* Fast Track Regulatory Process Program.
The Board's review and approval process of an economic stimulus program contains two steps:
(1) Approval of the Economic Stimulus Program Application, and
(2) Final approval of the Economic Stimulus Program Agreement.
The local Economic Incentive Programs are performance based and "job verification" as well as
monitoring "program compliance" is performed by the Impact Fee Administration Section of the
Growth Management Division.
Fee Payment Assistance — actual incentive award may not exceed the impact fees due and payable for
the proposed development (see Exhibit B for details):
Eastern Collier: Construction is proposed to begin in FY2012
Fiscal Impact: $1,198,568 maximum eligible based on capital investment **
Estimated Impact: $ 565,198
Western Collier: Construction/renovation is proposed to begin in FY2014
Fiscal Impact: $941,732 maximum eligible based on capital investment **
Estimated Impact: $ 475,000
"ACTUAL INCENTIVE AWARD MAY NOT EXCEED THE IMPACT FEES DUE AND PAYABLE
FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. CONVERSELY, ANY IMPACT FEES DUE IN EXCESS
OF THE INCENTIVE AWARD ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PROPERTY OWNER
Job Creation Investment — pays $2,000 for each new job created (see Exhibit B for details):
Eastern Collier: Must create 10 jobs at 115% of the average wage or $44,527
Arthrex proposes to create 150 jobs at an average wage of $59,580.
Fiscal Impact: $300,000
Western Collier: Must create 20 jobs at 150% of the average wage or $58,079
Arthrex proposes to create 450 jobs at an average wage of $59,580.
Fiscal Impact: $900,000
Advance Broadband Infrastructure Investment Program — pays up to $25,000 to advance the
deployment of telecommunications infrastructure (see Exhibit B for details):
Fiscal Impact: $25,000 maximum (reimbursable)
Fast Track Regulatory Process — expedite development review for qualified projects:
The company qualifies for the program and has been administratively approved for
participation as provided in Resolution No. 2006 -12.
Fiscal Impact: None associated with this Program, aside from staff time.
FISCAL IMPACT: Two independent economic impact studies are attached: Innovation Insight, Inc. —

1/24/2012 Item 10.A.
According to Dr. Gary Jackson, Director, Regional Economic Research Institute, Lutgert College of
Business at Florida Gulf Coast University, the firm's value added economic impact on the completed n
expansion project from the year 2017 and beyond is forecasted to be $124.8 million annually. As the
company grows to add the 600 full -time employees, the expansion project will create 1,084 total
employees (includes direct, indirect and induced employment).
The economic impacts of construction will result in the creation of 103 new construction jobs and will
have an overall employment impact of 147 jobs in FY2012. The additional labor income is $7.6
million and the value added is $10.4 million. See the chart below.

- Direct impacts consist or permanent loos, wages ana output oT the company rrserr.
"Indirect impacts are the jobs, wages and output created by businesses, which provide goods and services essential to the construction of
the project, the special event, tourist activity, or to the new company. They are also referred to as "supplier" impacts. These businesses
range from manufacturers (who make goods) to wholesalan (who deliver goods) to janitorial firms who dean the buildings.
***Induced impacts are the result of spending of the wages and salaries of the direct and indirect employees on items such as food, housing,
transportation and medical services. This spending creates induced employment in nearly all sectors of the economy, especially service
sectors.
Fiscal Year Budgeting: Local economic incentive programs are subject to the availability of funding, as
budgeted by the BCC annually through the General Fund (001).
• The current FY2011 budget contains $192,700 to fund applicants with executed agreements or
agreements pending approval of which $34,001 has been paid to date. See Exhibit E for
FY2011 Economic Development Incentive Budget.
• If the eastern portion of the construction phase of this project is accelerated and a site plan is
approved, the potential exists for a FY11 fee payment assistance payout totaling $151,648. A
majority if not all of this incentive payout can be funded from existing appropriations within the
General Fund Economic Development budget.
• Funding for FY2012 and following years will be budgeted in the Economic Development
budget. All of the financial information related to the local incentive programs is reviewed
annually as part of the budget preparation in order to accurately provide a recommended
funding level for the programs each fiscal year.

1/24/2012 Item 10.A.
Fee Payment Assistance Impact: The calculations in Exhibit F are for a 160,000sf building footprint
that will contain 20,000sf of second floor mezzanine space — for a total Impact Fee calculation of
180,000sf of commercial space. Based on the proposed capital investment of $50 million, Arthrex is
eligible for a total incentive of $2,140,300; however an estimated impact to the County is $565,198 for
eastern Collier location and $475,000 for western Collier — total of $1,040,198. If General Fund (001)
Impact Fee Fund payments are made over five years, 2% interest payments are estimated at $17,771.
The total estimated fiscal impact is $1,057,969.
Job Creation Investment Impact: Based on the projected creation of 600 jobs, Arthrex is eligible for an
incentive of $1,200,000, paid over three years following year the job was created and validated.
Advanced Broadband Infrastructure Investment Impact: Up to $25,000 (a reimbursable expense).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Objective 3 of the Economic
Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan which states: "Collier County will support
programs which are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the
expansion and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the County's economic base."
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Approval of this item is only the first of two steps in this process,
and does not bind the Board. If this item is approved, staff will come back to the Board with both a
proposed funding mechanism and proposed agreements; one each for Fee Payment Assistance
Agreement, Job Creation Investment and Advanced Broadband Infrastructure Investment which the
Board may approve or reject. This item is legally sufficient for Board action. A majority vote is
required for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the June 9, 2011
economic stimulus program application by Arthrex, Inc. and Arthrex Manufacturing, Inc. to participate
in the Fee Payment Assistance Program, the Job Creation Investment Program, the Advance Broadband
Infrastructure Investment Program, and the Fast Track Regulatory Process Program, and for Staff to
return with agreements for Board approval.

the support that the county has given historically. These incentives help Arthrex
senior management to understand a tangible level of the county's commitment The
Packet Page - 764 - �'
1/24/2012 Item 10.A.
GENERAL PROJECT OVERVIEW
incentives, both current and future, will be weighed as part of our overall facilities
decision matting.
Incentives help offset a modest portion of the additional costs of doing business in
Collier County and encourage Arthrex to continually expand in Collier County. For
example, expansion at Ave Maria in turn affords the company with the opportunity to
allocate additional space for management and professional staff at the Creekside
complex. These additional high paying professional and technical jobs are being
situated in Collier County despite the real opportunity to centralize them in a lower
cost area of the country. Again, the incentive program is one of the factors that is
weighted in the ongoing decision making process
B. How will the incentive dollars be used by the business?
Reinvestment in people, equipment, research and training _
C. What other cities, states, or countries are being considered for this project?
Carolinas, Texas and Tennessee
D. What advantages or Incentives offered by these locations do you consider
important In your decision?
Affordable housing to attract and retain employees combined with financial incentives
to locate an operation in that area.
E. What advantages or disadvantages offered by the proposed Florida location
do you consider important in your decision?
Proximity to established location, state and local incentive programs
F. Indicate any additional Internal or external competitive issues impacting this
project's location decision?
Affordable housing, training facilities in close proximity, overall cost of doing
business, available work pool, shipping logistics
A. Provide a brief synopsis of the special impacts the project Is expected to
stimulate in the community, the state, and the regional economy. Include the
impact on indicators such as unemployment rate, poverty rate, and per capita income.
Arthrex will bring 600 new jobs to the area. Unlike other businesses in the county,
employment at Arthrex is not on a seasonal basis. This provides much needed year -
round stability to the county's economy.
B. Provide a summary of past activities in Florida and in other states. For example,
what kind of corporate citizen has the applicant been? Also list awards or commendations.
Arthrex has been in Florida since 1991. In that time, the company has experienced
phenomenal growth and established Arthrex as one of the top arthroscopy
companies in the industry. We continue to develop our technology and increase
market share in the orthopedic industry through our teamwork approach. Our ability
to attract and hire qualified, conscientious employees has been a key ingredient to
our success. Arthrex strives to maintain a safe and productive teamwork
environment, which, in turn, promotes creativity and growth for our business as well
as our individual employees. Our good community standing is evident in the local
and national awards presented to Arthrex. Awards include Excellence in Industry
and Industries Park Beautification Award from the EDC; Leadership and Support

Introduction
/2012 Item 10.A.
This report presents the results of a formal impact analysis of Arthrex Inc. on the economies of
Florida's Collier and Lee counties. More than a simple manufacturing operation, the Arthrex
corporation contributes to local economies in a number of distinct ways. Its corporate
headquarters are based in Naples, Florida, and currently supports 377 high -wage service and
administrative jobs for Collier and Lee county employees. Its manufacturing operations produce
parts for worldwide distribution and support 479 local manufacturing jobs for Collier and Lee
county -based employees. The Arthrex Foundation invests more than $1 million annually, with
most charitable contributions going to local organizations. Finally, approximately 6,000
healthcare professionals and business visitors travel to the Arthrex headquarters each year to
receive special training, each of which contributes to local tourism spending at a high level.
These direct activities combine and create an economic impact that includes all of the jobs and
spending, both direct and indirect, that rely and benefit from them. This report will present the
combined impact of Arthrex's operations, and will also estimate the impact of the company's
projected Collier / Lee 2015 footprint.
Summary of Findings
• At present, Arthrex Inc.'s current Operations support more than 2,200 direct and indirect
local jobs and annually contribute more than $435 million (direct and indirect) to the local
economy.
• By 2015, we project that Arthrex Inc.'s combined annual economic impact will increase
to approximately 4,549 local jobs and more than $915 million annually in direct and
^ indirect economic activity.
• By 2015, a planned expansion of Arthrex manufacturing and headquarters activities will
create a separate one -time impact of 626 jobs and $85.3 million in local economic
impact through construction and investment in new facilities and equipment.

/2012 Item 10.A.
Recent History
In 1997 the Company's European based operations were consolidated with the Company's
North America operations. In 1998 the consolidated Arthrex Inc. and subsidiaries recorded
worldwide revenues of $68.9 million USD and had 53 Naples based employees. Since 1998 the
company has enjoyed a compound annual growth rate of 24.3% and in its most recent fiscal
year has recorded worldwide revenues of $944.2 million USD. Arthrex currently employs 921
people in its Naples based operations. The 27% compound annual growth rate for headcount
exceeds revenue growth as the Company has added rapidly to its manufacturing capacity. The
strategy of bringing production in -house is one that Arthrex plans to accelerate over the next five
years, and the Company projects that its headcount needs will double over the next five years of
operation.
The Future
Arthrex has enjoyed above - market growth rates and long term prospects for continued growth
are positive. The Company competes in markets that have long term projected growth rates of
between 7 and 9 percent. Given its competitive position the company expects to experience
double digit growth annually for the foreseeable future.
Detailed Impact: Arthrex Inc. Current Operations
At present, Arthrex inc.'s combined operations generate an annual economic impact of almost
$435 million in Collier and Lee counties. The company's activities also create an ongoing
impact of more than $226 million on the region's gross regional product (GDP), and support an
estimated 2,201 direct and indirect local jobs. This combined impact also annually generates
almost $12.4 million in local and state tax revenue.
Impact Overview
$262,768,416, 934 $96,258,528 _.. $127,294,720'
$89,092,080 584 $30,779,788 $48,546,048`
Based on estimates from our economic model, this total impact constitutes 0.80% of Collier and
Lee counties' total economic output, and 0.46% of the two counties' combined employment. It
also impacts 0.41 % of the region's corporate real estate tax, and 0.28% of the region's personal
real estate tax. In other words, our economic model estimates that the presence of Arthrex
Inc.'s manufacturing and headquarter operations has increased Collier and Lee counties'
property values by about one -third of a percent.
How do we reach these figures, and what do they mean? Direct Effect impacts are the actual
Arthrex investments into the community, and the actual inputs into the IMPLAN economic
modeling software that we use to create our impact estimates. The 934 direct jobs are the sum
of the activities listed in the following table. Please note that the direct jobs from visitor
spending and charitable contributions (denoted by an asterisk) are job - equivalents calculated by
the IMPLAN software based upon annual investment and spending levels, and not actual
employees of Arthrex Inc.
INNOVATION INSIGHT I Economic Impact of Arthrex Inc. • November 9, 2010
Packet Page -796-
/2012 Item 10.A.
Indirect Effect impacts are those resulting from Arthrex Inc.'s operational expenditures in the
community, such as supplies and vendors supporting its service and administrative activities,
raw goods, supplies and equipment to support its manufacturing, or any other services, goods,
or inputs necessary for ongoing operations. This is the demand that Arthrex Inc.'s activities
create within the local economy. The 1MPLAN economic software contains a model of indirect
local spending activity in Collier and Lee counties based upon national industry averages and
local employment, population, industry and tax records. For this report, we have calibrated
local spending inputs to be half of what IMPLAN predicts as average, for the purpose of
building a very conservative impact estimate.
Induced Effect impacts are the "ripple" effects created in the economy; the impacts of where
employees, vendors, and service providers locally spend their money such as restaurants,
stores, and other industries.

To calculate Arthrex Inc.'s impact relative to the Lee and Collier counties' combined economies,
we compare the company's baseline economic impacts (as described above) to the baseline
economic activity that IMPLAN estimates for the two counties as described below. Please keep
in mind that this compares Arthrex Inc.'s combined impact (direct, indirect, and induced) relative
to the total local economy. Export manufacturing companies like Arthrex Inc. make a
disproportionate contribution their local economies, as they inject critical new dollars, growth,
and resources into the economy, and their contribution is not dependent upon local economic
cycles. This is why exporters are often referred to as "primary economic contributors ", relative n
to "secondary contributors" which largely circulate money that is already within the economy
(such as restaurants, retail stores, etc.).
Expansion Plans
Arthrex Inc. projects strong growth over the next several years that will necessitate an
expansion of their current production and administrative infrastructure. If this expansion takes
place in Collier or Lee counties, this of course means Arthrex Inc.'s economic impact will
increase as well. This future impact will consist of two parts: 1) a one -time impact resulting from
investment in facilities, construction, and capital equipment; and 2) increased annual impact
from added jobs and investment from manufacturing, headquarters operations, and healthcare
professionals and others visiting for training and education in Arthrex products. We will estimate
these two types of impacts separately.

Detailed Future 'Impacts: One Time Impacts
Projected expansion needs will involve an estimated $93 million investment in facilities and
capital by Arthrex Inc. by year 2015. This will result in a one -time impact of more than $85.2
million in Collier and Lee counties. This will also create a temporary impact of an estimated 626
direct, indirect, and induced jobs, and add nearly $29.3 million to the local economy's gross
regional product. The expansion will also add a one -time increase of more than $2.4 million in
state and local tax revenues collected.

Detailed Future Impacts: Additional Annual Impact
Arthrex Inc. projects that by 2015, it will have to expand its total employment by an additional
906 jobs to meet demand and growth needs. Annually, it also projects that the number of
healthcare and business professionals that travel to Arthrex headquarters for training and
education will increase by 33 %. Combined with market rate payroll base increases of its current
(2010) employee base, these expanded operations will generate an additional $480.7
million each year in local economic impact. The expansion will contribute an additional
2,349 direct and indirect jobs, $236.2 million in increased gross regional product, and an
additional $12.9 million in collected state aria local taxes, each year.

Background and Sources
/2012 Item 10.A.
Innovation Insight Inc. is a Florida research consulting firm specializing in marketing and public
relations research services for high - technology industries. The firm and its founder, Guy Hagen,
have produced dozens of industry studies for Florida economic development agencies,
Enterprise Florida, and state and national technology industry organizations. From 1999 to
2000, Guy Hagen co- chaired a state task force to provide guidelines for consistent and
transparent application of economic impact studies such as this one (the Florida Governor's
Office Cluster Metrics Task Force). Innovation Insight Inc. is a private, for- profit corporation.
Information of a proprietary or business sensitive nature may be anonymized, aggregated or
withheld in order to protect individual research participants and companies. This study was
conducted by Innovation Insight on behalf of Arthrex Inc.
Economic impact forecasting was performed on the Minnesota IMPLAN Group (MIG) IMPLAN
software (version 3, social accounts model) using a 2009 statewide Florida data model. Arthrex
company data, investment activity, visitor levels, and growth projections were provided by
Arthrex inc. Additional data regarding visitor spending activities were drawn from the US
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Hoteis.com, Travel, Yahoo.Com, Wikipedia.com, and the
Florida Department of Transportation (Aviation Office). Other sources of data for this report are
indicated in -text.
Research Considerations
It is the practice of Innovation Insight to utilize a very conservative research framework when
conducting economic impact studies. Further, we strive to utilize a transparent, replicable
methodology that can be verified by any competent economist utilizing the same inputs and
same models. Detailed inputs to this study may be made available upon request;
however, these inputs may contain information of a competitive / business- sensitive
nature and access may require special permissions and execution of non - disclosure
agreements.
The impact estimate described in the section "Detailed Impact: Arthrex Inc. Current Operations"
was structured as a subtractive analysis; in other words, the IMPLAN model was executed by
removing the amount of Arthrex Inc's annual activity from the economy. This is the most
common and widely accepted method for documenting the impact of an existing industry sector,
company, or activity. For editorial consistency and to reduce confusion, however, all impact
figures are presented as non - negative.
The impact estimates described in the "Future" sections were structured as additive analyses;
projected future construction investments and increased Arthrex corporate activity were added
to the model's representation of the local economy. This is the most standard practice when
modeling new impacts to an economy.
All dollar figures are adjusted for inflation and presented in 2010 US dollars. Inputs to the
impact modeling process were structured according to the following assumptions:
• Manufacturing operations where categorized as IMPLAN sector 305, "Surgical and
medical instrument manufacturing ". Note that in order to support the most
reasonably conservative estimate of Arthrex Inc. impacts, the IMPLAN default
estimate of local spending activity (intermediate spending) for this sector was
reduced by 50 %.
INNOVATION INSIGHT I Economic Impact of Arthrex Inc. • November 9, 2010
Packet Page -802-
/2012 Item 10.A.
+ Headquarters service and administrative jobs were categorized as IMPLAN sector 381,
"Management of companies and enterprises ". Note that in order to support the most
reasonably conservative estimate of Arthrex Inc. impacts, the IMPLAN default
estimate of local spending activity (intermediate spending) for this sector was
reduced by 50 %.
+ Arthrex Inc. charitable investment activities were categorized as IMPLAN sector 424,
"Grantmaking, giving, and social advocacy organizations ".
o' Both "Current" and "Future" impact estimates modeled traveler spending activity of
visitors to Arthrex Inc.'s headquarters. These visitors consist of approximately 6,000
healthcare and business professionals who each year travel to Arthrex Inc.`s corporate
headquarters for specialized training and education. Lacking a formal survey of visitor
expenditures, a conservative template of spending was based upon the US Bureau of
Economic Analysis' schedule of tourist spending as a general guideline. This template
was populated with the best data available, and structured as follows:
❖ 6,000 visitors annually, each spending 2.5 days (average) in the region. As these
visitors were healthcare and business professionals (including many orthopedic
surgeons and doctors) it was assumed that they would have a liberal per diem and
personal spending budget and prefer above - average lodging, travel, and dining
options.
•b A survey of hotels.com 4- and 5 -star hotels within 10 miles of the Arthrex corporate
headquarters, sampled at four non- holiday periods throughout the year established
an average nightly hotel cost of $220.92 ( IMPLAN sector 411, "Hotels and motels,
including casino hotels ")
�• A survey of travel.yahoo.com car rental prices, "Full" and "Premium" car models
available from the Southwest Florida International Airport, sampled at four non -
holiday periods throughout the year established an average daily rental cost of
$73.84 ( IMPLAN sector 362, "Automotive equipment rental and leasing ").
6,000 visitors were calculated to constitute roughly 0.08% of the annual passengers
of Southwest Florida International Airport (source: Wikigedia.com). This was
extended pro rata to the Airport's annual direct employment, as documented in a
2010 report by the Florida Department of Transportation entitled "The Economic
Impact of Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) ".
Combined per - visitor impacts were allocated to the following categories, based upon
conservative estimates and anecdotal information:
Sector IMPLAN Sector Description
413 Food services and drinking places (10 +20 +40)
409 Amusement parks, arcades, and gambling industries
410 Other amusement and recreation industries (eg fishing, sailing)

Appendix: General Impact Definitions
/2012 Item 10.A.
• Output: Output represents the value of industry production. In IMPLAN these are annual
production estimates for the year of the data set and are in producer prices. For
manufacturers this would be sales plus /minus change in inventory. For service sectors
production = sales. For Retail and wholesale trade, output = gross margin and not gross
sales. Economic impact figures, without definition, usually refer to Output.
• Labor Income: All forms of employment income, including Employee Compensation
(wages and benefits) and Proprietor Income.
• Direct Impacts: take place only in the industry sector immediately affected, such as
direct jobs and investments.
• Indirect Impacts: concern inter- industry transactions: if an analyzed sector is removed
from the economy, sector companies will no longer have a demand for locally produced
materials needed to produce their product. This will affect all of their suppliers.
• Induced Effects: measure the effects of the changes in household income: employees
laid -off by removing the analyzed sector from the economy may reduce their
expenditures in restaurants and shops since they are no longer employed. These
changes effect the related industries.
• GDP: Industry Gross Domestic Product is the contribution of each private industry and
of government to the nation's output, or GDP. An industry's GDP, or its "value added," is
equal to its gross output (which consists of sales or receipts and other operating income,
commodity taxes, and inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs (which consist of
energy, raw materials, semi - finished goods, and services that are purchased from
domestic industries or from foreign sources). It can also be measured as the sum of
incomes related to production, such as wages and salary accruals and gross operating
surplus. (BEA)

• Dividends: Any payment to administrative government is considered a tax. It represents
a source of revenue to state and local government.
• Social Ins Tax- Employee Contribution: Employees' social contributions are the
amounts payable by employees to social security funds and private funded social
insurance schemes.
• Social: Ins Tax- Employer Contribution: Employers' social contributions are payments
by employers which are intended to secure for their employees the entitlement to social
benefits should certain events occur, or certain circumstances exist, that may adversely
affect their employees' income or welfare - sickness, accidents, redundancy, retirement,
etc.
• Indirect Bus Tax: Prior to the 2003 comprehensive NIPA revision, IBT was the name of
one of the three components of value added. It consists of tax and nontax liabilities that
are chargeable to business expenses when calculating profit -type incomes and of
certain other business liabilities to government agencies that are treated like taxes.
Thus, IBT includes taxes on sales, property, and production, but it excludes employer
contributions for social insurance and taxes on income. As part of the NIPA revision, this
component was modified and termed "taxes on production and imports less subsidies."
The major differences between the two are attributable to the treatments of subsidies
and non - taxes. (BEA)

Executive Summary
This study has forecast the economic impact on Collier County of an expansion of an
existing firm that will create 600 positions in Collier County by June 30, 2016, at an
average annual wage of $59,580. The average value of benefits associated with each
new job is 19 percent of the average wage, resulting in an average total compensation
of $73,646 per new employee.
Project Overview
A medical equipment and supplies manufacturing company is considering an expansion
in Collier County that will add 600 new employees and require an investment of $30
million for the construction of new and renovated facilities. In addition, the company will
purchase $20 million in manufacturing equipment through 2016 to support the
expansion.
The information for the study was provided by the Economic Development Council of
Collier County (EDC) which is not allowed to disclose the company's identity at this
time. The EDC is able to provide sufficient information to complete an economic impact
study of the firm's expansion on the local Collier County economy.
The company has a North American Industrial Classification (NAILS) code of 3391,
medical equipment and supplies manufacturing. Examples of products made by these
establishments are surgical and medical instruments, surgical appliances, and supplies.
Operating Economic Impacts
The value added economic impact of the firm's completed expansion (2017 and
beyond) to Collier County is forecast to be $124.8 million annually.'
The present values2 (measured in 2011 dollars) of the various economic impact
measures of the expansion of the firm for the five years 2012 -2016 are:
The projected overall employment gain in Collier County is 1,085 employees by 2017.
1 Value added is the additional income created in Collier County plus indirect business taxes and is
shown in 2017 dollars. This assumes that the company continues to operate at the expanded level.
z The four -year present value is calculated using a discount rate based on the 30 -year National Municipal
Bond Yields of 4.5 percent, www.bloomberg.com /markets /rates /index.html, as of May 12, 2011.

Description of Company
The information for the study was provided to the Economic Development Council of
Collier County (EDC) which is not allowed to disclose the company's identity at this
time. The Economic Development Council of Collier County is able to provide sufficient
information to complete an economic study of the firm's impact on the Collier County
economy.
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the company
considering the expansion is 3391, a medical equipment and supplies manufacturing
company. This industry is comprised of establishments primarily engaged in
manufacturing medical, equipment and supplies. Examples of products made by these
establishments are surgical and medical instruments, surgical appliances, and supplies.
The company is planning to spend $30 million dollars between 2012 and 2014 on the
construction of new and renovated manufacturing facilities. In addition, the company is
planning to spend $17 million on new manufacturing equipment. The company plans to
hire 600 new employees at an average annual salary of $59,580 by June 30, 2016. This
would include the following assumptions for the economic model runs:
• Construct a new manufacturing facility in 2012 valued at $17 million and a
supporting expenditure of $2 million for new manufacturing equipment;
• Additional construction in 2013 of $3 million on faculties and $6 million for
supporting manufacturing equipment;
• Renovate and construct another facility in 2014 valued at $10 million and an
additional expenditure of $6 million for manufacturing equipment;
• Additional expenditures of $3 million in 2015 and another $3 million in 2016 for
manufacturing equipment.
• Hire 400 new employees by June 30, 2014, with an average annual wage of
$59,580;
• Hire an additional 100 employees by June 30, 2015; and
• Hire an additional 100 employees by June 30, 2016.
Although the economic analysis reported in this paper extends only to 2017, the
economic benefit to Collier County of gaining 600 new positions will continue as long as
firm continues to prosper and operate at the expanded level in Collier County. The
average annual wage for each new position $59,580 and the average value of benefits
associated with each new job is 19.1 percent of the average wage. This results in an
average estimated total compensation of $73,646 per new employee in 2013 dollars.
The study assumes that the equipment expenditures are from manufacturing companies
outside Collier County and do not have any economic impact on Collier County. The
analysis assumes that the manufacturing company employees live in Collier County.

Study Results
The economic impact model, IMPLAN, provides four measures of economic impact for
Collier County.
• Employment represents the gain of employment in Collier County as a result of
the company expansion;
• Labor income represents the gain in wages, salaries, and benefits paid to
workers in Collier County;
• Value added represents the gain of labor income, proprietary income, other
property income, and indirect business taxes created within Collier County; and
• Expenditures is a measure of the increase in expenditures resulting from the
company's operations in Collier County.
The model accounts not only for the expenditures by the company (direct), but also
indirect gains created by other firms which are suppliers of services and products to the
existing (indirect) and the additional expenditures by the new employees and their
families (induced) for housing, food, and other goods and services.
Economic Impacts of Miring 600 Additional Employees: 2013- 2017
The company plans to hire 600 new employees between 2013 and 2016. The
information provided by the EDC shows that the company will have hired the equivalent
of 120 full -time annual employees in 2013. The economic impact is shown in
employment, labor income, value added, and expenditure increases in Table 1. The
direct employment gain is 120 full -time annual employees and the overall employment
impact for Collier County is forecast to be 217 full -time equivalent annual employees
created in 2013. The direct labor income gain is $10.5 million with the overall county -
wide impact of $15.4 million. The direct value -added economic increase for Collier
County is $13.7 million with the overall economic increase of $22.6 million. Direct
expenditures by the company are estimated to increase by $37.8 million with the overall
expenditure increase for Collier County of $53.0 million. The total or overall economic
impact includes the direct increases by the company plus the additional increases in
business -to- business activity as well as the additional economic activity created by the
increased expenditures of households for various products and services.

Sales and Property Tax Impacts
The model provides estimates of the additional sales and property tax, as shown in
Table 9. These are approximations based on historical information obtained in 2008.
The taxable property values are assumed to have declined by 11.0 percent from 2008
to 2009 and by 12.2 percent from 2009 to 2010 based on information obtained from the
Florida Department of Revenue. The estimates assume that taxable property values
are unchanged for 2010 to 2011.

Summary
This study has forecast the economic impacts for Collier County of an existing medical
equipment and supplies manufacturing company expanding its operations and adding
600 employees by June 30, 2016. The overall employment impact due to additional
business -to- business activity and the additional expenditures of the household incomes
created will result in an overall increase in employment of 1,085 in Collier County by
2017. The value added, which is a measure of income generated in Collier County, has
a present value over the five years from 2012 to 2016 of $278 million and the present
value of the labor income generated between 2012 and 2016 is $190 million. These
values are based on the direct creation of 600 new Collier County jobs at an average
annual wage of $59,580 plus benefits worth an additional 19 percent resulting in an
average annual total compensation of $73,746. The present value of the additional
expenditures for 2012 to 2016 is $652 million.

Appendix A
IMPLAN Pro: An Economic Impact Analysis Model
This study was completed using an established and accepted economic impact model,
IMPLAN, that is currently in use by over a thousand licensed model users in the United
States including universities, government agencies, and private companies. The model
is based on an understanding of inter - industry relationships and the work of Wassily
Leontief . He developed the concept of multipliers from input - output tables and received
the Nobel Prize in 1973 for his work. 3 The model was originally developed for the
United States Department of Agriculture and in the late 1980s was refined and
enhanced with the assistance of the University of Minnesota.
The model includes a mathematical input - output (1 -0) data set for Collier County that
allows one to forecast the gains from a firm's expenditures and expansion on other
Collier County businesses. The existing company and its employees will need various
products and services leading to additional expenditures, jobs, value added, and labor
income. The value added includes employee compensation, proprietary income, other
property type income, and indirect business taxes. Indirect business taxes consist of
excise taxes, property taxes, fees, licenses, and sales taxes paid by businesses.
The additional demand for goods and services in Collier County as a result of the
expanding manufacturing firm will lead to additional business -to- business activity and
the additional household incomes will increase business activity for household goods
and services.
