2024 Compensation Highlights
2024 Compensation Highlights Consistent with our compensation philosophy, key compensation decisions for 2024 included the following: •Base Salaries and Target Annual Cash Incentive Opportunities. The 2024 base salaries and target bonuses for our named executive officers did not change from 2023, except for Mr. Nabiey. Effective February 15, 2024, Mr. Nabiey’s base salary was increased by approximately 4% to $328,000. •Annual Cash Incentives. For 2024, our Compensation Committee selected performance goals for our performance-based annual bonus program that were intended to promote our business plan and short-term goals, including with respect to Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Revenue. In light of our achievement of each of the performance goals, the Compensation Committee determined to pay out annual bonuses to our participating named executive officers at 60.46% of target for Messrs. Wagner, Voermann, Bezdek and Nabiey. •Equity-Based Long-Term Incentives. In March 2024, pursuant to Mr. Voermann's employment agreement, he was granted nonqualified stock options ("stock options") and a restricted stock unit ("RSU") award covering shares of Class A common stock. In March 2024, as part of our annual process, we granted RSUs and stock options to Mr. Nabiey. In March 2024, pursuant to Mr. Wagner's amended employment agreement entered on March 13, 2024, he was granted RSUs and stock options. Due to the significant equity awards granted to Mr. Bezdek in connection with our IPO, the Compensation Committee determined not to grant any equity awards to him in 2024.

Role of Compensation Consultant
Role of Compensation Consultant The Compensation Committee engages an external compensation consultant to assist the committee by providing information, analysis and other advice relating to our executive and director compensation programs and the decisions resulting from the Compensation Committee’s annual executive compensation review. The compensation consultant reports directly to our Compensation Committee and its Chair, and serves at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, which reviews the engagement annually. For 2024, our Compensation Committee continued to retain Pay Governance to serve as its external compensation consultant to advise on executive and director compensation matters, including competitive market pay practices, and data analysis and selection of our compensation peer group. During 2024, Pay Governance attended Compensation Committee meetings and advised on executive compensation matters including: •Developing an updated executive compensation peer group; •Conducting a competitive market assessment of the compensation opportunities for our executive officers and independent directors; •Reviewing and summarizing equity compensation practices among our peers; •Assisting with the development of our equity compensation strategy; •Conducting competitive market assessment of executive severance and change-in-control provisions; •Summarizing peer practices for short-term incentive plan design; •Reviewing the Compensation Committee’s charter; and •Reviewing other compensation trends and regulatory developments.
Competitive Position
Competitive Position For the purpose of assessing our executive compensation program against the competitive market, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the compensation levels and practices of a select group of peer companies. This compensation peer group generally consists of companies that are similar to us in terms of industry, revenue and market capitalization. In selecting the companies to include in our compensation peer group for 2024, the Compensation Committee considered the following targeted selection criteria:
Peer Group
Peer Group The companies in our compensation peer group for 2024 was unchanged from 2023 and consisted of the following companies:
Peer Group
| 23andMe Holding Co. | HealthEquity, Inc. | | Accolade, Inc. | Hims & Hers Health, Inc. | | Affirm Holdings, Inc. | Marqeta, Inc. | | Alignment Healthcare, Inc. | MultiPlan Corp. | | AppFolio, Inc. | Nextgen Healthcare, Inc. | | Asana, Inc. | Sharecare, Inc. | | CarGurus, Inc. | Squarespace, Inc. | | Doximity, Inc. | Teladoc Health, Inc. | | EngageSmart, Inc. | Vertex, Inc. | | EverCommerce, Inc. | ZipRecruiter, Inc. |
Elements of the Company’s Executive Compensation Program
Elements of the Company’s Executive Compensation Program We design each of the principal components of our executive compensation program to fulfill one or more of the principles and objectives of our compensation philosophy described above. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the compensation of our named executive officers generally consisted of: •Base salary; •Annual performance-based cash bonus opportunities; and •Long-term equity incentive compensation. In addition, our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our health and welfare programs and our 401(k) plan on the same basis as our other employees. Additionally, certain of the employment arrangements entered into with our named executive officers contain severance and/or change-in-control protections, which aid in attracting and retaining executive talent and help executives to remain focused and dedicated during potential transition periods due to a change in control. Each of these elements of compensation for 2024 is described further below.
Cash Bonus Compensation
Cash Bonus Compensation 2024 Annual Cash Incentive Program Compensation under our annual performance-based cash bonus program ("executive bonus plan"), if any, is earned and granted under the terms of our 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”). We award annual performance-based cash bonus compensation from time to time to drive the achievement of key short-term business results and to recognize individuals based on their contributions to those results. The executive bonus plan provides executives, including our named executive officers, the opportunity to earn cash incentive bonuses based upon attainment of certain corporate, financial, or operational measures or objectives that we deem appropriate for the fiscal year. The corporate performance goals under the executive bonus plan are established by our Compensation Committee with the final attainment certified and bonus payment awarded by our Board, in each case with recommendation from the Compensation Committee. During 2024, each of our named executive officers participated in our executive bonus plan. However, Mr. Nabiey's cash incentive bonus opportunity for 2024 was based upon attainment of both individual performance goals (determined annually by his manager) and executive bonus plan performance goals, weighted 25% and 75% respectively. For 2024, Mr. Nabiey's target bonus percentage was increased from 35% to 40% of his base salary. The following table sets forth the 2024 target bonuses of our named executive officers as of the end of fiscal year 2024:
Cash Bonus Compensation
| Named Executive Officer | Target Percentage of Base Salary | Target Bonus ($) | | Scott Wagner (1) | 100% | $602,000 | | Karsten Voermann | 100% | $450,000 | | Trevor Bezdek | 100% | $500,000 | | Romin Nabiey (2) | 40% | $128,624 |
Cash Bonus Compensation
_____________________________ (1)Mr. Wagner's target bonus was prorated based on the portion of the year after which we entered into the amendment to his employment agreement on March 13, 2024. (2)Mr. Nabiey's target bonus was prorated based on his new salary rate effective as of February 15, 2024. Mr. Beri was not employed at the time 2024 bonus payments were made on March 14, 2025 and therefore was not entitled to, and did not receive, a bonus payment for 2024. His target bonus was equal to 100% of his annual base salary. 31

Equity Compensation
Equity Compensation We view equity-based compensation as a critical component of our executive compensation program. Equity-based compensation creates an ownership culture among our employees that provides an incentive to contribute to the continued growth and development of our business and aligns the interests of our executives with our stockholders. Our Compensation Committee believes it is essential to provide equity-based compensation to our executive officers in order to link the interests and risks of our executive officers with those of our stockholders, reinforcing our commitment to ensuring a strong linkage between company performance and pay. We historically have used stock option awards as the primary incentive for long-term compensation to our named executive officers because they are able to profit from stock options only if our stock price increases relative to the stock option’s exercise price, which generally is set at or above the fair market value of our Class A common stock as of the applicable grant date. Generally, the stock options we grant vest in equal monthly installments over four years, typically monthly following a one-year cliff, and in certain cases may vest monthly or quarterly during the four-year period, subject to the employee’s continued service with us on the vesting date. In connection with and following our IPO, we have also granted RSU awards to our named executive officers, which generally vest in equal quarterly installments over four years, either quarterly during the four-year period or quarterly following a one-year cliff, subject to the employee’s continued service with us on the vesting date. We maintain the 2020 Plan as the vehicle pursuant to which we may grant equity incentive compensation to our named executive officers. Prior to our IPO, we maintained the Fifth Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), under which some of our named executive officers have been granted equity incentive compensation. 2024 Equity Grants The Compensation Committee considered market data provided by Pay Governance in determining its grant of equity awards to certain of our named executive officers in 2024. The Compensation Committee determines the amounts and form of equity awards granted to each of our named executive officers after considering individual performance, roles and responsibilities of such named executive officer, competitive factors, vested and unvested value of the equity awards held by such named executive officer, and timing of prior equity awards granted. During 2024, the Board approved equity grants in the form of stock option awards and RSU awards to Messrs. Wagner, Voermann and Nabiey. The target values for the stock options and RSUs awarded in 2024 to our named executive officers are as follows:
Equity Compensation
| Named Executive Officer | 2024 Equity | | | | Stock Options (1) | Restricted Stock Units (2) | | Scott Wagner | $4,000,000 | $4,000,000 | | Karsten Voermann | $2,500,000 | $2,500,000 | | Romin Nabiey | $250,000 | $250,000 |

Other Elements of Compensation
Other Elements of Compensation Retirement Plans We currently maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The Internal Revenue Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. Currently, we match contributions made by participants in the 401(k) plan up to a specified percentage of the employee contributions, and these matching contributions are fully vested as of the date on which the contribution is made. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our 401(k) plan, and making fully vested matching contributions, adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation philosophy. Each named executive officer participating in the 401(k) plan received Company-paid matching contributions in 2024. Employee Benefits and Perquisites Health/Welfare Plans. All of our full-time employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including: •medical, dental and vision benefits; •medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts; •short-term and long-term disability insurance; and •life insurance. Specifically, from time to time, certain of our named executive officers may receive reimbursement of relocation, professional organization dues, commuting expenses, participation in wellness programs, cell phone allowance, gifts and/or commuting expenses. We believe the perquisites described above are necessary and appropriate to provide a competitive compensation package to our named executive officers. No Tax Gross-Ups Except as in limited circumstances with regard to the special bonuses not exceeding $1,000 granted to our named executive officers, we have not made gross-up payments to cover our named executive officers’ personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation paid or provided by our company. Employment and Severance Arrangements In 2024, we were party to employment agreements or offer letters with our named executive officers. Additional information regarding the employment agreements and offer letters is set forth in “Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.” We believe that the severance provisions contained in these employment agreements and offer letters help to ensure the day-to-day stability necessary to enable our named executive officers to properly focus their attention on their duties and responsibilities with us and provide security regarding some of the most uncertain events relating to continued employment, thereby limiting concern and uncertainty and promoting productivity. A detailed description of the applicable severance provisions contained in our named executive officer’s employment agreements as well as information on the estimated payments and benefits that our named executive officers would have been eligible to receive as of December 31, 2024, are set forth in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” In connection with the elimination of Mr. Beri’s role in 2024, Mr. Beri was entitled to receive the separation payments and benefits under his separation agreement. A description of the separation payments and benefits for Mr. Beri is described below in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” 34

The Initial RSU Award and Initial Option vests with respect to 25% of the shares subject to the awards on January 15, 2026, and as to 1/16 of the shares subject to the award on each quarterly anniversary thereafter, subject to Ms. Barnes’ continued employment through the applicable vesting date.
