Senseonics Holdings, Inc.
5.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025
The undersigned investor (the “Investor”), for itself and on behalf of the beneficial owners listed on Exhibit A hereto (“Accounts”) for whom the Investor holds contractual and investment authority (each, including the Investor if it is a party exchanging Notes (as defined below), an “Exchanging Investor”), hereby agrees to exchange, with Senseonics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), certain 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025, CUSIP 81727U AC9 (the “Notes”) for the Exchange Consideration (as defined below) pursuant to this exchange agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investor understands that the exchange (the “Exchange”) is being made without registration of the offer or sale of the Shares (as defined below) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any securities laws of any state of the United States or of any other jurisdiction in a private placement pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and that each Exchanging Investor participating in the Exchange is required to be an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act that is also a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and an “Institutional Account” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture, dated as of July 25, 2019 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
in the case of clauses (b) and (c) above, as adjusted in good faith by the Company for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the applicable Settlement Date; provided that the number of Shares to be exchanged for the Exchanged Notes shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share for each Exchanging Investor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of Shares issuable under this Agreement and in exchange for other Notes pursuant to any other exchange agreement entered into on or about the date of this Agreement (the “Other Exchange Agreements”) between the Company and holders of such other Notes with respect to the exchange of Notes for Common Stock exceed 10.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on the date hereof (the “Threshold”). If such aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock were to exceed the Threshold, the principal amount of Final Exchanged Notes (as defined below) exchanged by each Exchanging Investor under this Agreement and the “Exchanging Investors” under the Other Exchange Agreements shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (but not below zero) based on the principal amount of Notes exchanged by each such Exchanging Investor under this Agreement and each such “Exchanging Investor” under the Other Exchange Agreements such that such aggregate amount of Shares would approximately equal the Threshold (and for the avoidance of doubt, no Shares in excess of the Threshold or other additional consideration shall be deliverable by the Company in respect of the Initial Exchanged Notes).
“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed.

The “Daily VWAP” shall be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours.
“Delta Percentage” means 60%.
“Final Exchanged Notes” means an aggregate principal amount of Exchanged Notes identified as “Final Exchanged Notes” on Exhibit A hereto.
“Final Purchase Price” means the sum of (A) the Initial Purchase Price and (B) the product of (x) the Reference Price less the Initial Reference Price (y) the Conversion Ratio and (z) the Delta Percentage.

“Initial Purchase Price” means $1,023.76.
“Initial Reference Price” means $0.90.
“Last Reported Sale Price” of the Common Stock on any date means the closing sale price per share (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on that date as reported in composite transactions for the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded.
“Market Disruption Event” means (a) a failure by the primary U.S. national or regional securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading to open for trading during its regular trading session or (b) the occurrence or existence prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Scheduled Trading Day for the Common Stock for more than one half-hour period in the aggregate during regular trading hours of any suspension or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the relevant stock exchange or otherwise) in the Common Stock or in any options contracts or futures contracts relating to the Common Stock.
“Reference Period” means the period of 15 consecutive Trading Days commencing on the first Trading Day following the date hereof.
“Trading Day” means a day on which (a) there is no Market Disruption Event and (b) trading in the Common Stock generally occurs on The NYSE American or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on The NYSE American, on the principal other U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, on the principal other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or admitted for trading, except that if the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted for trading, “Trading Day” means a Business Day.
“Scheduled Trading Day” means a day that is scheduled to be a Trading Day on the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted for trading, “Scheduled Trading Day” means a Business Day.
For the avoidance of doubt, no cash will be paid to any Exchanging Investor in respect of any accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes or in respect of any fractional shares.
The Investor agrees that it and any Exchanging Investor shall not deliver a Notice of Conversion with respect to any Exchanged Notes and the Investor and each Exchanging Investor shall hold the Exchanged Notes until the applicable Closing (as defined below). In consideration for the performance of their obligations hereunder (including as described in the immediately preceding sentence), the Company agrees to deliver the Initial Exchange Consideration on the Initial Closing Date (as defined below) and the Final Settlement Shares on the Final Closing Date to each Exchanging Investor in exchange for its Exchanged Notes.
The Exchange shall occur in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit B.2 hereto (the “Exchange Procedures”); provided that each of the Company and the Investor acknowledges that the delivery of the Shares to any Exchanging Investor may be delayed due to procedures and mechanics within the system of the transfer agent, The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) or The NYSE American (including the procedures and mechanics regarding the listing of the Shares on The NYSE American) or other events beyond the Company’s control and that such a delay will not be a default under this Agreement so long as (i) the Company is using its reasonable best efforts to effect such delivery, or (ii) such delay arises due to a failure by Investor to deliver settlement instructions in accordance with Section 3(q); provided, further, that no delivery of Shares will be made until the Exchanged Notes have been
properly submitted for exchange in accordance with the Exchange Procedures and no accrued interest will be payable by reason of any delay in making such delivery.
The initial settlement of the Exchange (the “Initial Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2023 (subject to the provisos to the immediately preceding paragraph, the “Initial Closing Date”), or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investor may mutually agree. The final settlement of the Exchange (the “Final Closing” and together with the Initial Closing, each a “Closing”) shall take place remotely on the second Trading Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Reference Period (subject to the provisos to the immediately preceding paragraph, the “Final Closing Date,” together with the Initial Closing, each a “Closing Date”), or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investor may mutually agree.
On the Initial Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified herein, and the prior receipt by the Company from the Investor of the Initial Exchanged Notes, the Company shall deliver the Initial Shares to the DTC account and the Cash Consideration by wire transfer to the account, in each case specified by the Investor for each relevant Exchanging Investor in Exhibit B.1.
On the Final Closing Date, subject to the Initial Closing having occurred, and the prior receipt by the Company from the Investor of the Final Exchanged Notes, the Company shall deliver the Final Settlement Shares to the DTC account specified by the Investor for each relevant Exchanging Investor in Exhibit B.1.
All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity and acceptance of the Exchanged Notes and the Exchange Consideration will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the delivery of the Exchange Consideration, the Investor hereby, for itself and on behalf of its Accounts, irrevocably (a) waives any and all other rights with respect to such Exchanged Notes and (b) releases and discharges the Company and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the “Placement Agent”) from any and all claims, actions, causes or rights, whether known or unknown, contingent or matured, that the undersigned and its Accounts may now have, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to, such Exchanged Notes.

It is important that this instruction be submitted and the applicable DWAC posted on such Closing Date no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time.
● | To receive the Cash Payment: |
You must provide valid wire instructions to the Company.
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is the Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Shares.

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a holder who exchanges Notes for Shares and/or Cash Payment generally must provide such holder’s correct TIN on a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 (available from the Company or at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf) or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual holder’s social security number or a holder’s employer identification number. If the correct TIN is not provided, the holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed under Section 6723 of the Code. In addition, certain payments made to holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding (currently set at 24% of the payment). If a holder is required to provide a TIN but does not have a TIN, the holder should consult its tax advisor regarding how to obtain a TIN. Certain holders (including corporations and non-U.S. holders) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements.
A non-U.S. holder (i) will be subject to 30% U.S. federal withholding unless such holder establishes an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, such withholding, and (ii) must establish its status as an exempt recipient from backup withholding and can do so by submitting a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY (and all required attachments), or other applicable IRS Form W-8 (available from the Company or at www.irs.gov), signed, under penalties of perjury, attesting to such holder’s exempt foreign status. This form also may establish an exemption from withholding under Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code.
U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Exchanging Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding how to complete the appropriate forms and to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.
