CLOVER HEALTH INVESTMENTS, CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Operations
Clover Health Investments, Corp. (collectively with its affiliates and subsidiaries, "Clover" or the "Company") is focused on empowering physicians to identify and manage chronic diseases early. Clover has centered its strategy on building and deploying technology through its flagship software platform, Clover Assistant, to help America's seniors receive better care at lower costs.
Clover aims to provide affordable, high-quality Medicare Advantage plans, including Preferred Provider Organization ("PPO") and Health Maintenance Organization ("HMO") plans, through its regulated insurance subsidiaries. The Company's regulated insurance subsidiaries consist of Clover Insurance Company and Clover HMO of New Jersey Inc., which operate the Company's PPO and HMO health plans, respectively. On April 1, 2021, the Company's subsidiary, Clover Health Partners, LLC ("Health Partners"), began participating as a Direct Contracting Entity ("DCE") in the Global and Professional Direct Contracting Model ("DC Model") of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, through which the Company had previously provided care to aligned Medicare fee-for-service ("FFS") beneficiaries (the "Non-Insurance Beneficiaries") through our prior participation in ACO REACH Program, as defined herein. CMS redesigned the DC Model and renamed it the Accountable Care Organization ("ACO") Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health ("REACH") ("ACO REACH") Model effective January 1, 2023. On December 1, 2023, the Company notified CMS that it will no longer participate as a REACH ACO in the CMS ACO Reach Program, effective as of the end of the 2023 performance year. The Company’s exit from the ACO REACH Program follows its November 2022 announcement of a strategic reduction in the number of ACO REACH participating physicians in 2023, and was made after the Company determined that it is in the Company's best interest to fully exit the ACO REACH Program starting with the 2024 performance year. The activity recognized during 2024 relates to prior performance years with CMS and are presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented within the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 17 for further discussion of discontinued operations. Medical Service Professionals of NJ, LLC, houses Clover's employed physicians and the related support staff for Clover's in-home care program. Clover's administrative functions and insurance operations are primarily operated by its Clover Health, LLC and Clover Health Labs, LLC subsidiaries.
For any information following the aforementioned paragraph, the Company will refer to its participation in ACO REACH Model or the Company's participation in the predecessor DC Model as ACO REACH Model henceforth.
Clover's approach is to combine technology, data analytics, and preventive care to lower costs and increase the quality of health and life of Medicare beneficiaries. Clover's technology platform is designed to use machine learning-powered systems to deliver data and insights to physicians in order to improve outcomes for beneficiaries through the early identification and management of chronic disease and drive down costs. Clover's MA plans generally provide access to a wide network of primary care providers, specialists, and hospitals, enabling its members to see any doctor participating in Medicare willing to accept them. Clover focuses on minimizing members' out-of-pocket costs and offers many plans that allow members to pay the same co-pays for primary care provider visits regardless of whether their physician is in- or out-of-network.
For additional information, see Note 1 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K").
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of its financial condition and its results of operations for the periods presented. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidating these financial statements. Investments over which we exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for using the applicable accounting treatment based on the nature of the investment. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.
10
The areas involving the most significant use of estimates are the amounts of incurred but not reported claims. Many factors can cause actual outcomes to deviate from these assumptions and estimates, such as changes in economic conditions, changes in government healthcare policy, advances in medical technology, changes in treatment patterns, and changes in average lifespan. Accordingly, the Company cannot determine with precision the ultimate amounts that it will pay for, or the timing of payment of actual claims, or whether the assets supporting the liabilities will grow to the level the Company assumes prior to payment of claims. If the Company's actual experience is different from its assumptions or estimates, the Company's reserves may prove inadequate. As a result, the Company would incur a charge to operations in the period in which it determines such a shortfall exists, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. Other areas involving significant estimates include risk adjustment provisions related to Medicare contracts and the valuation of the Company's investment securities, reinsurance, premium deficiency reserve, stock-based compensation, recoveries from third parties for coordination of benefits, and final determination of medical cost adjustment pools.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior years' Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation, primarily related to Surety bonds and deposits and Change in restricted cash related to surety bonds, deposits, and escrow accounts. In addition, certain amounts have also been reclassified related to Accretion, net of amortization, Accrued interest earned and Net unrealized (losses) gains on investment securities.
Certain amounts in the prior years' Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation, these amounts relate to the Company's restructuring costs which were previously included within Salaries and benefits as well as General and administrative expenses. These expenses are now recognized within Restructuring costs.
Discontinued Operations
The results of operations for the Company's former Non-Insurance segment have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Assets and liabilities related to the Company's former Non-Insurance segment have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 17 - Discontinued Operations for additional information.
Equity method of accounting and variable interest entities
Investments in entities in which the Company does not have control but its ownership falls between 20.0% and 50.0%, or it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The Company continuously assesses its partially-owned entities to determine if these entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and, therefore, required to consolidate the VIE. To make this determination, the Company applies a qualitative approach to determine whether the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the rights to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to that VIE. If the Company has an interest in a VIE but is determined to not be the primary beneficiary, the Company accounts for the interest under the equity method of accounting.
When the Company's carrying value in an equity method investee company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the investee company or has committed additional funding. When the investee company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.
Segment information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. At March 31, 2024, the Company has one reporting segment, Insurance. At the end of 2023, the Company exited the ACO REACH Model and as a direct result, the reportable operating segment formerly known as Non-Insurance no longer meets the criteria of a required reportable operating segment starting in 2024.
11
Capitalized software development costs - cloud computing arrangements
The Company's cloud computing arrangements are mostly comprised of hosting arrangements that are mostly service contracts, whereby the Company gains remote access to use enterprise software hosted by the vendor or another third party on an as-needed basis for a period of time in exchange for a subscription fee. Implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements are capitalized if certain criteria are met and consist of internal and external costs directly attributable to developing and configuring cloud computing software for its intended use. These capitalized implementation costs are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses, and are generally amortized over the fixed, non-cancelable term of the associated hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis.
Deferred acquisition costs
Restructuring Activities
Restructuring related expenses, which are recorded within Restructuring costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, include employee termination benefits, vendor costs associated with restructuring activities, and other costs associated with the business transformation initiatives. Restructuring costs are determined based on estimates, which are prepared at the time the restructuring actions are approved by management and are periodically reviewed and updated for changes in estimates. The Company applies the provisions of ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations ("ASC 420") as these costs meet the criteria of a one-time benefit. Under ASC 420-10, the Company establishes a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity, including employee termination benefits and other restructuring related costs, when the liability is incurred, rather than at the date that the Company commits to an exit plan. At each reporting date, there is an evaluation of the liability to ensure the amount is still appropriate. See Note 16 (Restructuring costs) for further discussion.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
There have been no new accounting pronouncements adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that are expected to materially impact the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting pronouncements effective in future periods
In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 EITF Meeting, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280—General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock (“ASU 2023-03”). This ASU amends or supersedes various SEC paragraphs within the applicable codification to conform to past SEC staff announcements. This ASU does not provide any new guidance. ASU 2023-03 will become effective for the Company once the addition to the FASB Codification is made available.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this update aim to improve reportable segment disclosures by requiring enhanced disclosures around significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires that all existing annual disclosures about segment profit or loss must be provided on an interim basis and clarifies that single reportable segment entities are subject to the disclosure requirement under Topic 280 in its entirety. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. A public entity should apply ASU 2023-07 retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update aim to provide more transparency regarding tax disclosures mainly related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company did no
At March 31, 2024, all securities were investment grade, with credit ratings of BBB+ or higher by S&P Global or as determined by other credit rating agencies within the Company's investment policy. Unrealized losses on investment grade securities are principally related to changes in interest rates or changes in issuer or sector related credit spreads since the securities were acquired. The gross unrealized investment losses at March 31, 2024, were assessed, based on, among other things:
•The relative magnitude to which fair values of these securities have been below their amortized cost was not indicative of an impairment loss;
•The absence of compelling evidence that would cause the Company to call into question the financial condition or near-term prospects of the issuer of the applicable security; and
•The Company's ability and intent to hold the applicable security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery.
Proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities, inclusive of short-term investments, and related gross realized gains (losses) which are included within Other income within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

Private Warrants
At March 31, 2024, the Company had exercisable private warrants which were embedded in several agreements as derivatives. These private warrants were accounted for as assets in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within Other assets, non-current on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The warrant assets are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis until redeemed, with changes in fair value presented within Change in fair value of warrants within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. These private warrants were classified within Level 3 due to the subjectivity and use of estimates in the calculation of their fair value. These warrants at measurement date, December 31, 2023, were assessed to have a fair value of $0.8 million, with no other activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company reassesses the fair values of the warrants based on updated estimates and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 there were no unrealized gains or losses recognized.

Additionally, certain affiliates of Mr. Garipalli are owed certain money from CarePoint Health for prior obligations, and Mr. Garipalli has an indirect interest in Sequoia Healthcare Services, LLC and Sequoia Healthcare Management, LLC, which both provide services to CarePoint Health. Expenses and fees incurred related to Clover's contracts with CarePoint Health, recorded within Net medical claims incurred, were $0.5 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively. Additionally, $0.9 million and $1.4 million were payable to CarePoint Health at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The Company has a contract with Medical Records Exchange, LLC (formerly known as "ChartFast," now d/b/a Credo) pursuant to which the Company receives administrative services related to medical records retrieval via Credo's electronic applications and web portal platform. Expenses and fees incurred related to this agreement were $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively. Vivek Garipalli, the Company's Executive Chairman and significant stockholder of the Company, is an indirect owner of Medical Records Exchange, LLC.
Since July 2, 2021, the Company has contracted with Thyme Care, Inc. ("Thyme Care"), an oncology care management company, through which Thyme Care was engaged to provide cancer care management services to the Company's Insurance members in New Jersey and develop a provider network to help ensure member access to high-value oncology care. The Company and Thyme Care have amended the terms of the engagement, effective April 1, 2023, to include additional clinical services available to Clover members as well as the value based payment terms. The Company entered into an agreement with Thyme Care effective September 23, 2020 where the Company purchased 1,773,049 shares (less than five percent (5 %) of its class A common stock). The fair value of these shares is $0.5 million at March 31, 2024, and is recognized within Other assets, non-current, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In accordance with ASC 321, any changes in fair value associated with these shares are recognized within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Mr. Garipalli is a member of the board of directors of Thyme Care and holds an equity interest of less than five percent (5 %) of that entity. Expenses and fees incurred related to this agreement were none and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, none and $0.2 million were payable to Thyme Care at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

7. Unpaid Claims
Activity within the liability for Unpaid claims, including claims adjustment expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is summarized as follows:

Gross and net balance, end of period (1) | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
The Company uses a variety of standard actuarial techniques to establish unpaid claims reserves. Management estimates are supported by the Company's actuarial analysis. The Company utilizes an internal actuarial team to review the adequacy of unpaid claim and unpaid claim adjustment expense. The estimation of claim costs is inherently difficult and requires significant judgment. The estimation has considerable inherent variability and can fluctuate significantly depending upon several factors, including medical cost trends and claim payment patterns, general economic conditions, and regulatory changes. The time value of money is not taken into account for the purposes of calculating the liability for unpaid claims. Management believes that the current reserves are adequate based on currently available information.
Unpaid Claims for Insurance Operations
Unpaid claims for Insurance operations were $239.5 million at March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $73.3 million was paid for incurred claims attributable to insured events of prior years. A favorable development of $17.6 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting from the Company's actual experience with claims developing differently as compared to the Company's estimates at December 31, 2023. An unfavorable development of $0.8 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulting from the Company's actual experience with claims developing differently as compared to the Company's estimates at December 31, 2022. Original estimates are increased or decreased, as additional information becomes known regarding individual claims. The ratio of current year medical claims paid as a percentage of current year Net medical claims incurred was 30.4 % for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 61.5 % for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This ratio serves as an indicator of claims processing speed, indicating that claims were processed at a slower rate during the three months ended March 31, 2024, than during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a result of slower claims processing, unpaid claims liability increased which increase was primarily due to claim submission and payment process disruptions related to a third-party cyber incident.
8. Stockholders' Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock
Stockholders' Equity
The Company was authorized to issue up to 2,500,000,000 500,000,000 406,155,332 401,183,882 89,649,365 87,867,732 10 votes per share, and Class A common stock has one vote per share. The Company had 11,613,745 and 7,912,750 shares held in treasury at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts represent shares withheld to cover taxes upon vesting of employee stock-based awards.
At March 31, 2024, the Company was authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share, and the Company's Board has the authority to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares.

9. Variable Interest Entity and Equity Method of Accounting
On February 4, 2022, Character Biosciences, Inc. (f/k/a Clover Therapeutics Company) ("Character Biosciences"), an affiliate of the Company, completed a private capital transaction in which it raised $17.9 million from the issuance of 16,210,602 shares of its preferred stock. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company owned approximately 25.46 % of Character Biosciences. As a result, the Company reassessed its interest in Character Biosciences and determined that while Character Biosciences is a VIE, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE because it does not have the power, through voting or similar rights and the license agreements, to direct the activities of Character Biosciences that most significantly impact Character Biosciences' economic performance. On January 23, 2023, Character Biosciences, completed a second private capital transaction in which it raised additional capital from the issuance of additional shares of its preferred stock. Upon completion of this transaction, the Company's ownership percentage in Character Biosciences decreased to 23.92 %.
The Company determined that it does have a significant influence over Character Biosciences and, therefore, it began accounting for its common stock investment in Character Biosciences using the equity method on February 4, 2022. The Company derecognized all of Character Biosciences' assets and liabilities from its balance sheet and its noncontrolling interest related to Character Biosciences, and recognized the retained common stock and preferred stock equity interests at fair values of $3.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, which are included in Equity method investment and Other assets, non-current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a gain on investment of $9.2 million which is included within Loss (gain) on investment on the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a loss on investment of $4.7 million.
As the Company applies the equity method to account for its common stock interest in Character Biosciences, the initial value of the investment is adjusted periodically to recognize (i) the proportionate share of the investee's net income or losses after the date of investment, (ii) additional contributions made and dividends or distributions received, and (iii) impairment losses resulting from adjustments to net realizable value. The Company eliminates all intercompany transactions in accounting for equity method investments and records the proportionate share of the investee's net income or loss in equity within gain on investment on the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
In accordance with ASC 323, the Company recognized the proportionate share of Character Bioscience's net loss up to the investment carrying amount. As a result the Company recognized a shared loss of $0.5 million and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
10. Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Savings Plan
The Company has a defined contribution retirement savings plan (the "401(k) Plan") covering eligible employees, which includes safe harbor matching contributions based on the amount of employees' contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The Company contributes to the 401(k) Plan annually 100.0 % of the first 4.0 % compensation that is contributed by the employee up to 4.0 % of eligible annual compensation after one year of service. The Company's service contributions to the 401(k) Plan amounted to approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are included within Salaries and benefits on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company's cash match is invested pursuant to the participant's contribution direction. Employer contributions are immediately 100.0 % vested.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") provides for grants of restricted stocks units ("RSUs"), performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") and stock options to acquire shares of the Company's common stock, to employees, directors, officers, and non-employee consultants of the Company and its affiliates, and the Company's 2020 Management Incentive Plan (the "2020 MIP") provides for grants of RSUs and PRSUs to the Company's Executive Chair and CEO. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company approved the 2020 Plan and the 2020 MIP, and the Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") was terminated. When the 2014 Plan was terminated, the outstanding awards previously granted thereunder were assumed by the Company, and no new awards are available for grant under the 2014 Plan. Shares that are expired, terminated, surrendered, or canceled under the 2014 Plan without having been fully exercised are available for awards under the 2020 Plan. On March 9, 2022, the Board adopted the Company's 2022 Inducement Award Plan (the "Inducement Plan" and, collectively with the 2020 Plan, the 2020 MIP, and the 2014 Plan, the "Plans") without stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. Under the Inducement Plan, the Company may grant non-qualified stock options, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, and other stock or cash-based awards to an employee in connection with his or her commencement of employment, or following a bona fide period of non-employment, with the Company or an affiliate.
19
The 2020 Plan has an evergreen provision that requires the number of shares available for issuance under the plan to be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year and ending on (and including) the last day of the 2024 fiscal year, in each case, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) seven percent (7 %) of the outstanding shares of Class A common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares of Class A common Stock determined by the Board; provided that for each fiscal year beginning with the 2025 fiscal year through the fiscal year that includes the expiration date of the plan, each such increase shall be reduced to the lesser of five percent (5 %) of the outstanding shares of Class A common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or such number of shares as determined by the Board.
The maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock reserved for issuance over the term of the Plans, shares outstanding under the Plans, and shares remaining under the Plans at March 31, 2024 were as follows:
| March 31, 2024 | Shares Authorized Under Plans | Shares Outstanding Under Plans | Shares Remaining Under Plans | |||||||||||||||||
| 2014 Plan | N/A | |||||||||||||||||||
| 2020 Plan | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 2020 MIP | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Inducement Plan | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Plans are administered by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"). Stock options granted under the Plans are subject to the terms and conditions described in the applicable Plan and the applicable stock option grant agreement. The exercise prices, vesting, and other restrictions applicable to the stock options are determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, except that the exercise price per share of incentive stock options may not be less than 100.0 % of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Stock options awarded under the Plans expire 10 years after the grant date and generally vest over or five years . The number of stock options granted is determined by dividing the approved grant date dollar value of an option by the Black Scholes option pricing value per share (as further discussed below). RSU awards are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plans and the applicable RSU grant agreement. Vesting and other restrictions applicable to RSU awards are determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, but generally vest over to four years from the date of the grant. The number of RSUs granted is determined by dividing the cash value of an RSU award by the average closing price of a share of the Company's Class A common stock over a specified period through the date of grant. The total estimated grant date fair value is amortized over the requisite service period.
The Company recorded Stock-based compensation expense for stock options, RSUs, and PRSUs granted under the Plans, and discounts offered in connection with the Company's 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") of $28.8 million and $38.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and such expenses are presented within Salaries and benefits in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Performance Restricted Stock Units
The Company has granted PRSUs to certain executives and key employees, which become eligible to vest based on achievement of certain Company or individual performance milestones (“Non-Market PRSUs”) and certain Company stock price targets (“Market PRSUs”), each as determined by the Compensation Committee. Market PRSUs will vest if prior to the vesting date the average closing price of one share of the Company's common stock for 90 consecutive days equals or exceeds a specified price. The expense referenced above is mainly attributable to Market PRSUs that vest based on pre-established milestones that primarily consist of the volume-weighted average stock closing price ranging from $20 to $30 for 90 consecutive days. The grant date fair value of the Non-Market PRSUs was based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock and recognized as expense over the requisite performance period under the accelerated attribution method and is adjusted in future periods for the success or failure to achieve the specified performance condition. The grant date fair value of the Market PRSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that incorporated multiple valuation assumptions, including the probability of achieving the specified market condition. Expense for Market PRSUs is recognized over the derived service period under the accelerated attribution method and is not adjusted in future periods for the success or failure to achieve the specified market condition.
The assumptions that the Company used in the Monte Carlo model to determine the grant date fair value of Market PRSUs granted for the year ended December 31, 2021, were as follows:
| Year ended December 31, 2021 | ||||||||
Expected volatility (1) | % | |||||||
Risk-free interest rate (2) | ||||||||
Dividend yield (3) | ||||||||
(1) Expected volatility is based on a blend of peer group company historical data adjusted for the Company's leverage.
(2) Risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury yields with a term equal to the remaining Performance Period as of the grant date.
(3) Dividend yield was assumed to be zero as the Company does not anticipate paying dividends.
At March 31, 2024, the market condition component of these PRSUs has not been met, so the awards have not been earned. This expense represents most of the PRSU expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to stock-based compensation plans which is presented within Salaries and benefits in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company has also determined the requisite service period for the PRSUs with multiple performance conditions to be the longest of the explicit, implicit, or derived service period for each tranche.

At March 31, 2024, there was $31.0 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to PRSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a period of four years .
2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On January 6, 2021, the Board adopted and the Company's stockholders approved the ESPP, which permits eligible employees and service providers of either the Company or designated related companies and affiliates to contribute up to 15 % of their eligible compensation during defined offering periods to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a 15 % discount from the fair market value of the common stock as determined on specific dates at specific intervals. Subject to adjustments provided in the ESPP that are discussed below, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under the ESPP is 14,163,863 shares, and the maximum number of shares that may be purchased on any single purchase date by any one participant is 5,000 shares. At March 31, 2024, 13,078,532 shares of Class A common stock were available for issuance under the ESPP.
The ESPP includes an evergreen provision that limits the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the plan, to 2,785,582 shares, plus the number of shares of Class A common stock that are automatically added on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year and ending on (and including) the first day of the 2030 fiscal year, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1 %) of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the last day of the calendar month prior to the date of such automatic increase, and (ii) such number of shares of Class A common stock as determined by the Board; provided that the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock reserved under the ESPP shall not exceed 10.0 % of the total outstanding capital stock of the Company (inclusive of the shares reserved under the ESPP) as of January 7, 2021, on an as-converted basis.
The assumptions that the Company used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the purchase rights under the ESPP for the most recent offering period, is as follows:

11. Income Taxes
The consolidated effective tax rate of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was 0.0 zero . The Company believes that at March 31, 2024, it had no material uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax expense (benefits) are recognized in income tax expense, when applicable.

Because the Company had a Net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company's potentially dilutive securities, which include Options, RSUs, PRSUs, preferred stock, and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and preferred stock, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, during these periods, the diluted common shares outstanding equals the average common shares outstanding. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

Securities Class Actions, Derivative Litigation and Investigations
Since February 2021, the Company has received subpoenas from the SEC related to certain disclosures and aspects of our business as well as certain matters described in an article issued on February 4, 2021, by Hindenburg Research LLC (the "Hindenburg Article"). The Company is cooperating with the SEC's investigation. The Hindenburg Article, which discussed, among other things, an inquiry by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania relating to, among other things, certain of the Company’s arrangements with providers participating in its network and programs, and Clover Assistant, was the subject of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 5, 2021.
In February 2021, the Company and certain of its directors and officers were named as defendants in putative class actions filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee: Bond v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00096 (M.D. Tenn.); Kaul v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00101 (M.D. Tenn.); Yaniv v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00109 (M.D. Tenn.); and Tremblay v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00138 (M.D. Tenn.). The complaints assert violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Kaul action asserts additional claims under sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. The complaints generally relate to allegations published in the Hindenburg Article. The complaints seek unspecified damages on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or acquired Clover securities during the class period (which begins on October 6, 2020, and, depending on the complaint, ends on February 3, 2021, or February 4, 2021), as well as certain other costs. In April 2021, the Middle District of Tennessee class actions were consolidated under Bond v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00096 (M.D. Tenn.) as the lead case. On June 28, 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which also generally relates to allegations published in the Hindenburg Article, but adds, among other things, allegations from confidential witnesses who purport to be former employees of the Company. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint on August 28, 2021; that motion was denied on February 28, 2022. On February 14, 2023, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification.
On April 21, 2023, the parties to the securities class action entered into a memorandum of understanding providing for the settlement of the action. The Court approved the settlement and dismissed the action with prejudice on October 3, 2023. Under the settlement, the class will receive $22 million dollars (less an award of fees and expenses to the plaintiffs’ counsel), and the defendants (including the Company) received customary releases. The Company used $19.5 million in insurance proceeds to fund the settlement. The Company previously filed a lawsuit in Delaware state court against certain of its insurers for full payment of its liabilities related to this securities litigation. The Company intends to oppose any efforts by the carrier defendants to recoup insurance proceeds that they have advanced to date.
25
Shareholder derivative actions parallel to the securities class action have also been filed, naming Clover as a nominal defendant. The first action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and is captioned Furman v. Garipalli, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-00191 (D. Del.). The complaint asserts violations of sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, and waste of corporate assets against certain of the Company's directors. It seeks unspecified damages and an order requiring Clover to take certain actions to enhance Clover's corporate governance policies, and procedures. The second and third actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee and are captioned Sun v. Garipalli, et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00311 (M.D. Tenn.), and Luthra v. Garipalli, et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00320 (M.D. Tenn.). The complaints assert violations of section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, and aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. The Sun action also asserts unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and contribution under section 11(f) of the Securities Act, and sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act. The complaints name certain current and former officers and directors as defendants. They seek unspecified damages and an order requiring Clover to take certain actions to enhance Clover's corporate governance policies and procedures.
The fourth action was filed in the United States District of Delaware and is captioned Wiegand v. Garipalli, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-01053 (D. Del.). The initial complaint asserted violations of sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. The complaint names certain current and former officers and directors as defendants. It seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and an order requiring Clover to take certain actions to improve Clover's corporate governance and internal procedures. The fifth action was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and is captioned Sankaranarayanan v. Palihapitiya, et al., Index No. 655420/2021 (N.Y. Sup. Ct., N.Y. Cnty.). The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The complaint names certain former officers and directors as defendants. It seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and an order directing Clover to take certain actions to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures.
The sixth action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and is captioned Davies v. Garipalli, et al., No. 2021-1016-SG (Del. Ch.). The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint names certain current and former officers and directors as defendants. It seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and an order directing Clover to take certain actions to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures. The seventh action was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and is captioned Uvaydov v. Palihapitiya, et al., Index No. 656978/2021 (N.Y Sup. Ct., N.Y. Cnty.). The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint names certain current and former officers and directors as defendants. It seeks, among other things, unspecified damages, restitution, and disgorgement of profits obtained by defendants.
On May 10, 2021, the Middle District of Tennessee shareholder derivative actions described above were consolidated under Sun v. Garipalli, et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00311 (M.D. Tenn.) as lead case. On November 30, 2021, the Sun and Luthra plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, asserting violations of section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and contribution under sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act. The amended complaint generally relates to the allegations published in the Hindenburg Article, and names certain current and former officers and directors as defendants. It seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and an order requiring Clover to take certain actions to enhance Clover's corporate governance policies and procedures.
On September 16, 2021, the two District of Delaware derivative actions were consolidated under In re Clover Health Investments, Corp. Derivative Litigation, Case No. 1:21-cv-00191-LPS (Consolidated). The Furman complaint was deemed the operative complaint. On April 19, 2022, the plaintiff in the Wiegand action filed an amended complaint, asserting violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a), and 21D of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment against certain current and former officers and directors. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and an order requiring Clover to take certain actions to improve Clover's corporate governance and internal procedures.
26
On August 19, 2022, the two derivative actions filed in New York state court were consolidated under In re Clover Health Investments, Corp. Stockholder Derivative Litig., Index No. 655420/2021. On November 3, 2022, the plaintiffs in this action filed a consolidated complaint, asserting breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment, and naming certain former officers and directors as defendants. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified damages, restitution, the disgorgement of profits obtained by defendants, and an order directing Clover to take certain actions to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures.
On June 21, 2023, the plaintiffs in the derivative lawsuits, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, entered into a binding memorandum of understanding providing for the settlement of the derivative actions. On February 5, 2024, the parties executed a stipulation of settlement which, subject to final court approval, will provide the defendants in the derivative lawsuits with customary releases and will require the Company to implement a suite of corporate governance enhancements. On March 5, 2024, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee entered an Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement and Providing for Notice, and scheduled a hearing for July 11, 2024 to determine whether to give final approval to the Settlement. The settlement does not involve any monetary payment, other than payment of an award of fees and expenses to plaintiffs’ counsel in the amount of $2,500,000 , which amount is subject to court approval.
14. Operating Segments
Starting in 2024, the Company manages its operations based on one reportable operating segment: Insurance. Through the Insurance segment, the Company provides PPO and HMO plans to Medicare Advantage members in several states. These segment groupings are consistent with information used by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company's CODM, to assess performance and allocate resources.
The operations of the Company are organized into the following one segment:
•Insurance Segment includes operations related to the Company's MA plans, which generally provide access to a wide network of primary care providers, specialists, and hospitals.
Corporate/Other includes other clinical services not included in Medicare Advantage and all other corporate overhead. Clinical services is comprised of Clover Home Care and other clinical services that are offered to eligible beneficiaries.
The table below summarizes the Company's results by operating segment:

15. Dividend Restrictions
The Company's regulated insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulations and standards in their respective jurisdictions. These standards, among other things, require these subsidiaries to maintain specified levels of statutory capital and limit the timing and amount of dividends and other distributions that may be paid to their parent companies. Therefore, the Company's regulated insurance subsidiaries' ability to declare and pay dividends is limited by state regulations including obtaining prior approval by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, neither of the regulated insurance subsidiaries had been authorized nor paid any dividends.
16. Restructuring costs
On April 17, 2023, the Company announced it would implement certain business transformation initiatives, including an agreement to move its core plan operations to UST HealthProof’s (“UST HealthProof”) integrated technology platform and additional corporate restructuring actions. The agreement with UST HealthProof includes the transition of certain of the Company’s plan operation functions in support of its Medicare Advantage members pursuant to a master services agreement. In addition to the arrangement with UST HealthProof, in April 2023 the Company conducted a reduction in force to better align its Selling, General, and Administrative cost structure with its revenue base. This restructuring resulted in the elimination of approximately 10 % of the Company's workforce. The Company incurred costs related to these business transformation initiatives, which consisted of employee termination benefits, vendor related costs, and other costs, which are accounted for as exit and disposal costs and recorded pursuant to ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. For those costs determined to be one-time termination benefits the Company established a liability for the restructuring related expenses when the plan was established, the remaining costs will be expensed as incurred.
The Restructuring costs are presented in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, which were as follows:

As of March 31, 2024, the liability for employee termination benefits was recorded in Accrued salaries and benefits and the liability for vendor related costs and other expenses were recorded in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability recorded reflects the Company's best estimate, which may be revised in subsequent periods as the restructuring progresses. The restructuring costs are recorded within the Corporate/Other operating segment. In addition, the Company incurred costs related to software impairment. These costs are recognized within Depreciation and amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, and total $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

17. Discontinued Operations
On December 1, 2023, the Company notified CMS that it would no longer participate as a REACH ACO in connection with the 2024 performance year. The Company’s exit from the ACO REACH Program was made after the Company determined that it is in its best interest to fully exit the ACO REACH Program starting with the 2024 performance year, and follows the Company's November 2022 announcement of a strategic reduction in the number of ACO REACH participating physicians in 2023. The nature of the remaining activities relate to the settlement with CMS related to prior performance years which is expected to be completed during the second half of 2024.

Performance guarantees
Certain of the Company's arrangements with third-party providers require it to guarantee the performance of its care network to CMS. As a result of the Company's participation in the ACO REACH Model, the Company determined that it was making a performance guarantee with respect to providers under the Non-Insurance arrangement that should be recognized in the financial statements. The performance guarantee identified relates to the Company guaranteeing the performance of the third-party medical providers. Thus, the contract with CMS is accounted for as a performance guarantee under ASC 460-Guarantees. At the inception of the performance year, the Company measures and recognizes the performance guarantee receivable and obligation, issued in this standalone arm's length transaction, using the practical expedient to fair value as set forth in ASC 460-10-30-2(a). The Company estimates the annualized benchmark, which is the amount recognized in both the Non-Insurance performance year receivable and the Non-Insurance performance year obligation, current. This is consistent with ASC 460-10-25-4, which provides that a guarantor shall recognize in its statement of financial position a liability for that guarantee. In addition, when the guarantee is issued in a standalone transaction for a premium, the offsetting entry should be considered received (such as cash or a receivable) according to ASC 460-10-25-4. Thus the Company recognizes the Non-Insurance performance year receivable on its balance sheets.
30
To subsequently measure and recognize the performance guarantee, the Company follows ASC 460-10-35-2(b) and applies a systematic and rational approach to reflect its release from risk. Under this approach, the Company amortizes on a straight-line basis over the performance year, the obligation. The Company has determined this systematic and rational method is appropriate, as it matches the period in which the guarantee is fulfilled. In addition, ASC 460-10-35-2 provides further guidance on the subsequent measurement related to the Company's performance guarantee. Per ASC 460-10-35-2, depending on the nature of the guarantee, the guarantor's release from risk typically can be recognized over the term of the guarantee using one of three methods: (1) upon expiration or settlement, (2) by systematic or rational amortization, or (3) as the fair value of the guarantee changes. The Company has determined that method (2) is the appropriate method of recognition as discussed above.
With respect to each performance year in which the ACO is a participant, the final consideration due to the ACO from CMS ("shared savings") or the consideration due to CMS from the ACO ("shared loss") is reconciled in the subsequent years following the performance year. The shared savings or loss is measured periodically and will be applied to the Non-Insurance performance obligation, current or Non-Insurance performance receivable if the Company is in a probable loss position or probable savings position, respectively. The ACO has entered into an agreement with CMS and a third-party to cover the financial threshold determined by CMS.
In April 2021, the Company began participating in the Global and Professional Direct Contracting of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), which utilizes a structured model intended to reduce expenditures and preserve or enhance quality of care for people with Medicare fee-for-service ("FFS"). CMS rebranded the DC Model and renamed the model the ACO Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (REACH) Model ("ACO REACH Model") effective January 1, 2023. As a participating entity in the DC Model, referred to as the ACO REACH Model at January 1, 2023, with a global risk arrangement, the Company assumed the responsibility of guaranteeing the performance of its care network. The ACO REACH Model is intended to reduce administrative burden and support a focus on complex, chronically ill patients. On December 1, 2023, the Company notified CMS that it will no longer participate as a REACH ACO in connection with the 2024 performance year. The Company’s exit from the ACO REACH Program was made after the Company determined that it is in the Company's best interest to fully exit the ACO REACH Program, and follows its November 2022 announcement of a strategic reduction in the number of ACO REACH participating physicians in 2023.
Certain of the Company's arrangements with third-party providers require it to guarantee the performance of its care network to CMS, which, if not obtained, could potentially result in payment to CMS. The Non-Insurance performance year obligation and receivable are amortized on a straight-line basis for the amount that represents the completed performance. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee. This is attributable to the stop-loss arrangement and the corridors (tiered levels) in the arrangement. A certain percentage of these arrangements will still be the responsibility of the Company, in addition to a number of variables that are not reasonable for the Company to estimate, such as, but not limited to, risk ratings and benchmark trends that have an inestimable impact on the estimate of future payments.
For additional information, see Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 20 (Non-Insurance) in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Restructuring Activities
Restructuring related expenses, which are recorded within Restructuring costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, include employee termination benefits, vendor costs associated with restructuring activities, and other costs associated with the business transformation initiatives. Restructuring costs are determined based on estimates, which are prepared at the time the restructuring actions are approved by management and are periodically reviewed and updated for changes in estimates. The Company applies the provisions of ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations ("ASC 420") as these costs meet the criteria of a one-time benefit. Under ASC 420-10, the Company establishes a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity, including employee termination benefits and other restructuring related costs, when the liability is incurred, rather than at the date that the Company commits to an exit plan. At each reporting date, there is an evaluation of the liability to ensure the amount is still appropriate.
On December 1, 2023, the Company notified CMS that it will no longer participate as a REACH ACO in connection with the 2024 performance year. The Company’s exit from the ACO REACH Program was made after the Company determined that it is in its best interest to fully exit the ACO REACH Program, and follows the Company's November 2022 announcement of a strategic reduction in the number of ACO REACH participating physicians in 2023. The Company incurred costs related to not continuing with the program, which consisted of employee termination benefits and are accounted for as exit and disposal costs and recorded pursuant to ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. For those costs determined to be one-time termination benefits the Company established a liability for the restructuring related expenses when the plan was established, the remaining costs will be expensed as incurred.
The Restructuring costs are presented in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, which were as follows:

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the liability for employee termination benefits was recorded in Accrued salaries and benefits and the liability for vendor related costs and other expenses were recorded in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the discontinued operations balance sheets. The liability recorded reflects the Company's best estimate, which may be revised in subsequent periods as the restructuring progresses.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the three months ended March 31, 2024, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Form 10-Q") and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 14, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K"). This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the "Risk Factors" section of the 2023 Form 10-K. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for additional information. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" to "we," "us," "our," "Clover," "Clover Health," and the "Company" mean the business and operations of Clover Health Investments, Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
At Clover Health, our vision is to empower Medicare physicians to identify and manage chronic diseases early. Our strategy is to improve the care of people with Medicare, develop wide physician networks, and provide technology to help empower physicians. Our proprietary software platform, Clover Assistant, helps us execute this strategy by enabling physicians to detect, identify, and manage chronic diseases earlier than they otherwise could. This technology is a cloud-based software platform that provides physicians with access to data-driven and personalized insights for the patients they treat.
We operate Preferred Provider Organization ("PPO") and Health Maintenance Organization ("HMO") Medicare Advantage ("MA") plans for Medicare-eligible individuals. We aim to provide high-quality, affordable healthcare for all Medicare beneficiaries. Among plans with similar major characteristics, we offer most members in our MA plans (the "members") among the lowest average out-of-pocket costs for primary care provider and specialist co-pays in their markets. We strongly believe in providing our members provider choice, and we consider our PPO plan to be our flagship insurance product. An important feature of our MA product is wide network access. We believe the use of Clover Assistant and related data insights allows us to improve clinical decision-making through a highly scalable platform. At March 31, 2024, we operated our MA plans in five states and 200 counties, with 79,527 members.
Our subsidiary, Clover Health Partners, LLC ("Health Partners"), participated as a Direct Contracting Entity ("DCE") in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health Model ("ACO REACH Model" or "ACO REACH"). On December 1, 2023, the Company notified CMS that it will no longer participate as a REACH ACO in connection with the 2024 performance year. The Company’s exit from the ACO REACH Program was made after the Company determined that it is in its best interest to fully exit the ACO REACH Program, and follows the Company's November 2022 announcement of a strategic reduction in the number of ACO REACH participating physicians in 2023. The remaining activity recognized during 2024 directly relates to prior performance years with CMS.
At March 31, 2024, we partnered with providers to care for 79,527 Lives under Clover Management.

Recent Developments
CMS Star Ratings
Pursuant to CMS’s Medicare Advantage Star ratings system, CMS annually awards between 1.0 and 5.0 Stars to Medicare Advantage plans based on performance in several categories. CMS released the Company’s 2024 Star ratings in October 2023, related to the 2022 measurement year, which will impact the 2025 payment year. For both of the Company's plans (PPO and HMO), CMS gave a rating of 3.0 Stars for measurement year 2022, which represents a 0.5 Star rating decrease for both plans from the 2021 measurement year. The 3.0 Star rating will impact the 2025 payment year. In the calendar year 2024, the Company will be paid on the basis of 3.5 Stars for both our PPO and HMO plans, which ratings were previously awarded.
ACO REACH
On December 1, 2023, the Company notified CMS that it will no longer participate as a REACH ACO in connection with the 2024 performance year. The Company’s exit from the ACO REACH Program was made after the Company determined that it is in its best interest to fully exit the ACO REACH Program starting with the 2024 performance year, and follows the Company's November 2022 announcement of a strategic reduction in the number of ACO REACH participating physicians in 2023. As of January 1, 2024, this line of business meets the definition of discontinued operations, and prior period amounts have been updated to conform to the current period presentation, refer to Note 17 for additional information.
Key Performance Measures of Our Operating Segments
Operating Segments
Starting in 2024, we manage our operations based on one reportable segment: Insurance. Through our Insurance segment, we provide PPO and HMO plans to Medicare Advantage members in several states. All other clinical services and all corporate overhead not included in the reportable segments are included within Corporate/Other.
The segment grouping is consistent with the information used by our Chief Executive Officer (identified as our chief operating decision maker) to assess performance and allocate the Company's resources.
We review several key performance measures, discussed below, to evaluate our business and results, measure performance, identify trends, formulate plans, and make strategic decisions. We believe that the presentation of such metrics is useful to management and counterparties to model the performance of healthcare companies such as Clover.
Insurance segment
Through our Insurance segment, we provide PPO and HMO plans to members in several states. We seek to improve care and lower costs for our Insurance members by empowering providers with data-driven, personalized insights to support treatment of members through our software platform, Clover Assistant.

34
Membership and associated premiums earned and medical claim expenses.
We define new and returning members on a calendar year basis. Any member who is active on July 1 of a given year is considered a returning member in the following year. Any member who joins a Clover plan after July 1 in a given year is considered a new member for the entirety of the following calendar year. We view our number of members and associated PMPM premiums earned and medical claim expenses, in the aggregate and on a PMPM basis, as useful metrics to assess our financial performance; Member growth and retention aligns with our mission, drives our Total revenues, expands brand awareness, deepens our market penetration, creates additional opportunities to inform our data-driven insights to improve care and decrease medical claim expenses, and generates additional data to continue to improve the functioning of Clover Assistant. Among other things, the longer a member is enrolled in one of our insurance plans, the more data we collect and synthesize and the more actionable insights we generate. We believe these data-driven insights lead to better care delivery as well as improved identification, documentation and management of members' chronic conditions, helping to lower PMPM medical claim expenses.
Premiums earned, gross.
Premiums earned, gross is the amount received, or to be received, for insurance policies written by us during a specific period of time without reduction for premiums ceded to reinsurance. We believe premiums earned, gross provides useful insight into the gross economic benefit generated by our business operations and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to changes in our underlying reinsurance structure. Premiums earned, gross excludes the effects of premiums ceded to reinsurers, and therefore should not be used as a substitute for Premiums earned, net, Total revenues, or any other measure presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").
Premiums earned, net.
Premiums earned, net represents the earned portion of our premiums earned, gross, less the earned portion that is ceded to third-party reinsurers under our reinsurance agreements. Premiums are earned in the period in which members are entitled to receive services, and are net of estimated uncollectible amounts, retroactive membership adjustments, and any adjustments to recognize rebates under the minimum benefit ratios required under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
We earn premiums through our plans offered under contracts with CMS. We receive premiums from CMS on a monthly basis based on our actuarial bid and the risk-adjustment model used by CMS. Premiums anticipated to be received within twelve months based on the documented diagnostic criteria of our members are estimated and included in revenues for the period, including the member months for which the payment is designated by CMS.
Premiums ceded is the amount of premiums earned, gross ceded to reinsurers. From time to time, we enter into reinsurance contracts to limit our exposure to potential losses as well as to provide additional capacity for growth. Under these agreements, the "reinsurer," agrees to cover a portion of the claims of another insurer, i.e., us, the "primary insurer," in return for a portion of their premium. Ceded earned premiums are earned over the reinsurance contract period in proportion to the period of risk covered. The volume of our ceded earned premium is impacted by the level of our premiums earned, gross and any decision we make to adjust our reinsurance agreements.
Insurance gross medical claims incurred.
Insurance gross medical claims incurred reflects claims incurred, excluding amounts ceded to reinsurers, and the costs associated with processing those claims. We believe gross medical claims incurred provides useful insight into the gross medical expense incurred by members and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to changes in our underlying reinsurance structure.
Insurance gross medical claims incurred excludes the effects of medical claims and associated costs ceded to reinsurers, and therefore should not be used as a substitute for Net claims incurred, Total operating expenses, or any other measure presented in accordance with GAAP.
Insurance net medical claims incurred.
Insurance net medical claims incurred are our medical expenses and consist of the costs of claims, including the costs incurred for claims net of amounts ceded to reinsurers. We enter into reinsurance contracts to limit our exposure to potential catastrophic losses. These expenses generally vary based on the total number of members and their utilization rate of our services.
35
Medical care ratio, gross and net.
We calculate our medical care ratio ("MCR") by dividing total Insurance medical claim expenses incurred by premiums earned, in each case on a gross or net basis, as the case may be, in a given period. We believe our MCR is an indicator of our gross margin for our Insurance plans and the ability of our Clover Assistant platform to capture and analyze data over time to generate actionable insights for returning members to improve care and reduce medical expenses.

Premiums earned, net
Premiums earned, net increased $24.6 million, or 8%, to $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our risk adjustment revenue driving favorability as a result of the Company focusing on member retention.
Other income
Other income increased $0.3 million, or 6%, to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to a higher interest rate environment as compared to the prior period.
Net medical claims incurred
Total Net medical claims incurred decreased $9.6 million, or 4%, to $265.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower membership as compared to the prior period.
36
Salaries and benefits
Salaries and benefits decreased $9.8 million, or 14%, to $59.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in share based compensation expense.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $13.1 million, or 23%, to $44.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in live healthy program expenses and lower broker commission expenses.
Loss on investment
Loss on investment increased $0.5 million, or 100%, as compared to the prior for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is driven by the Company's proportional share of net losses incurred. Refer to Note 9 “Variable Interest Entity and Equity Method of Accounting” of the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs decreased by $1.5 million, or 80%, to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in employee termination related expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We manage our liquidity and financial position in the context of our overall business strategy. We continually forecast and manage our cash, investments, working capital balances, and capital structure to meet the short-term and long-term obligations of our businesses while seeking to maintain liquidity and financial flexibility.
Historically, we have financed our operations primarily from the proceeds we received through public and private sales of equity securities, funds received in connection with the business combination which occurred early in 2021, issuances of convertible notes, premiums earned under our MA plans, and with our Non-Insurance revenue. We expect that our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and our current projections of cash flows, taken together, will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and regulatory requirements for the next 12 months based on our current plans. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our needs to support our business growth, to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, or for other reasons. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing to provide the capital required to maintain or expand our operations. Any future equity financing may be dilutive to our existing investors, and any future debt financing may include debt service requirements and financial and other restrictive covenants that may constrain our operations and growth strategies. If additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Consolidated Entities
Our cash equivalents and investment securities consist primarily of money market funds, U.S. government debt securities, and corporate debt securities. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total restricted and unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and investments for all entities, inclusive of discontinued operations, were $440.3 million and $417.3 million, respectively. These totals consist of $222.9 million and $228.6 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that specifically related to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities.
Unregulated Entities
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total restricted and unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and investments for the parent company, Clover Health Investments, Corp., and unregulated subsidiaries (inclusive of discontinued operations) were $132.6 million and $136.8 million, respectively, with the decrease for December 31, 2023 primarily reflecting operating expenses. We operate as a holding company in a highly regulated industry. As such, we may receive dividends and administrative expense reimbursements from our subsidiaries, two of which are subject to regulatory restrictions. We continue to maintain significant levels of aggregate excess statutory capital and surplus in our state-regulated insurance subsidiaries. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments at the parent company were $127.9 million and $74.0 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Our unregulated subsidiaries held $4.7 million and $62.8 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
37
Regulated Entities
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments for our regulated subsidiaries were $307.7 million and $280.5 million, respectively. Additionally, our regulated insurance subsidiaries held $210.3 million and $203.4 million of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Our use of operating cash derived from our unregulated subsidiaries is generally not restricted by departments of insurance (or comparable state regulatory agencies). Our regulated insurance subsidiaries have not paid dividends to the parent, and applicable insurance laws restrict the ability of our regulated insurance subsidiary to declare and pay dividends to the parent. Insurance regulators have broad powers to prevent reduction of statutory surplus to inadequate levels, and there is no assurance that dividends of the maximum amounts calculated under any applicable formula would be permitted. State insurance regulatory authorities that have jurisdiction over the payment of dividends by our regulated insurance subsidiary may in the future adopt statutory provisions more restrictive than those currently in effect.
For a detailed discussion of our regulatory requirements, including aggregate statutory capital and surplus as well as dividends paid from the subsidiaries to the parent, please refer to Notes 22 (Dividend Restrictions), 24 (Statutory Equity), and 25 (Regulatory Matters) in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Cash Flows

Cash Requirements
Our cash requirements within the next twelve months include medical claims payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current liabilities, purchase commitments, and other obligations. We expect the cash required to meet these obligations to be primarily generated through cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and our current projections of cash flows from operations.
Operating Activities
Our largest source of operating cash flows is capitated payments from CMS. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are payments for medical benefits and payments of operating expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Net cash provided by operating activities was $25.9 million, which reflects a Net loss of $19.2 million. Non-cash activities included a $28.8 million charge to Stock-based compensation expense and Unpaid claims increased by $102.4 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Net cash provided by operating activities was $79.0 million, which reflects a Net loss of $72.6 million. Non-cash activities included a $38.6 million charge to Stock-based compensation expense.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $9.2 million was primarily due to $33.7 million provided from the sale and maturity of investment securities. This was offset by $24.1 million used to purchase investments.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of $10.2 million was primarily due to $78.3 million provided from the sale and maturity of investment securities. This was offset by $67.9 million used to purchase investments.
For additional information regarding our investing activities, please refer to Note 3 (Investment Securities) to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
38
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $3.4 million was primarily the result of the acquisition of $3.4 million in Treasury stock.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $2.1 million was primarily the result of the acquisition of $3.0 million in Treasury stock.
Financing Arrangements
There have been no material changes to our financing arrangements at March 31, 2024, as compared to those disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We believe that funds from projected future operating cash flows, cash, cash equivalents, and investments will be sufficient for future operations and commitments, and for capital acquisitions and other strategic transactions, over at least the next 12 months.
Material cash requirements from known contractual obligations and commitments at March 31, 2024 include: (1) the recognition of a performance guarantee of $9.7 million in connection with the Company's participation in the ACO REACH Model and (2) operating lease obligations of $4.3 million. These commitments are associated with contracts that were enforceable and legally binding at March 31, 2024, and that specified all significant terms, including fixed or minimum serves to be used, fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the actions under the contracts. There were no other material cash requirements from known contractual obligations and commitments at March 31, 2024. For additional information regarding our remaining estimated contractual obligations and commitments, see Note 13 (Commitments and Contingencies) and Note 17 (Discontinued Operations).
Indemnification Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements, with various parties (providers, vendors, consultants, etc.), with varying scope and terms, pursuant to which we may agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other parties from any claim, demand, loss, lawsuit, settlement, judgment, fine, or other liability, and all related expenses that may accrue therefrom (including reasonable attorneys' fees), arising from or in connection with third party claims, including, but not limited to, negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, fraud, or otherwise wrongful act or omission with respect to our obligations under the applicable agreements.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We believe that the accounting policies and estimates involve a significant degree of judgment and complexity. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the financial statements included in this report for a discussion of accounting pronouncements recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted and their potential impact to our financial statements.
39
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of economic losses due to adverse changes in the estimated fair value of a financial instrument as the result of changes in equity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include assets and liabilities with estimated fair values that are subject to market risk. Our primary market risk has been interest rate risk associated with investments in instruments with fixed maturities. We do not have material exposure to commodity risk.
We are also exposed to credit risk on our investment portfolio. We manage the exposure to credit risk in our portfolio by investing in high quality securities and diversifying our holdings.
We monitor our investment portfolio to ensure that credit risk does not exceed prudent levels. Our investment policy is focused on preservation of capital, liquidity and earning a modest yield. Substantially all of our investment portfolio is invested in U.S. Treasury fixed maturity securities. At March 31, 2024, none of our fixed maturity securities portfolio was unrated or rated below investment grade.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our "Certifying Officers"), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at March 31, 2024, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, at March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
40
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, in the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings, investigations (both formal and informal), and claims incidental to the conduct of a highly regulated business. Such proceedings can be costly, time consuming, and unpredictable. Therefore, no assurance can be given on the outcome of any proceeding or the potential impact on our financial condition or results of operation.
Information concerning legal proceedings can be found in Note 13 (Commitments and Contingencies) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated by reference into this item.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K. In the course of conducting our business operations, we are exposed to a variety of recurring and new risks, any of which have affected or could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The market price of our Class A common stock could decline, possibly significantly or permanently, if one or more of these risks and uncertainties occurs. Any factor described in this report or in any of our other SEC filings could by itself, or together with other factors, adversely affect our financial results and condition. For a discussion of risk factors that could adversely affect our financial results and condition, and the value of, and return on, an investment in the Company, please see the "Item 1A. Risk Factors" section included in the 2023 Form 10-K, as well as the factors identified under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" at the beginning of Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and as may be updated in subsequent filings with the SEC.
The following risk factor is intended to update the risk factors of the Company previously disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.
We have been notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of our failure to comply with certain continued listing requirements and, if we are unable to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements and standards of Nasdaq, our Class A common stock could be delisted from Nasdaq, which would have an adverse impact on the trading, liquidity, and market price of our Class A common stock.
On April 2, 2024, we received a written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying us that, because the bid price for our Class A common stock has fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we no longer comply with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 30, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's Class A common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (unless the Nasdaq staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)) during the 180-day period ending September 30, 2024.
If the Company does not regain compliance by September 30, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if it elects (and meets the listing standards) to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required, among other things, to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares as well as all other standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company fails to regain compliance during the compliance period (including a second compliance period provided by a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, if applicable), then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist its Class A common stock, at which point the Company may appeal Nasdaq's delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearing panel.
41
We will continue to monitor the bid price levels for our Class A common stock and will consider appropriate alternatives to achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the compliance period, including, among other things, a potential reverse stock split. However, we cannot assure you that the price of our Class A common stock will subsequently remain in compliance with the required listing standard or that we will remain in compliance with any of the other applicable continued listing standards of Nasdaq. Any continuing failure to remain in compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards, and any subsequent failure to timely resume compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards within the applicable cure period could have adverse consequences, and among other things, substantially impair our ability to raise additional funds and could result in a loss of institutional investor interest and fewer development opportunities for us. Furthermore, a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Class A common stock and would impair the ability of stockholders to sell or purchase our Class A common stock when they wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Class A common stock to become listed again, lead to stability in the market price of our Class A common stock, improve the liquidity of our Class A common stock, prevent our Class A common stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements. As a result of these factors, a delisting of our Class A common stock from Nasdaq would have an adverse impact on the trading, liquidity, and market price of our Class A common stock.

CLOVER HEALTH INVESTMENTS, CORP. AMENDED AND RESTATED DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY (Adopted, approved, and effective on June 21, 2023) Each member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Clover Health Investments, Corp. (the “Company”) who is not an employee of the Company (each such member, an “Outside Director”) will receive the compensation described in this amended and restated Outside Director Compensation Policy (the “Amended and Restated Director Compensation Policy”) for his or her Board service following the effective date set forth above (the “Effective Date”). The Amended and Restated Director Compensation Policy will become effective upon the Effective Date. The Amended and Restated Director Compensation Policy may be amended at any time in the sole discretion of the Board. Annual Cash Compensation Each Outside Director will receive the cash compensation set forth below for service on the Board. The annual cash compensation amounts will be payable in arrears, in equal quarterly installments following the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company in which the service occurred. Any amount payable for a partial quarter of service will be pro-rated by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of days of service that the Outside Director provided in such quarter and the denominator of which will be the number of days in such quarter inclusive. All annual cash fees are vested upon payment. 1. Annual Board Member Service Retainer: a. All Outside Directors: $50,000. b. Outside Director serving as Chairperson: $50,000 (in addition to above). c. Outside Director serving as Lead Independent Director: $30,000 (in addition to above). 2. Annual Committee Member Service Retainer: a. Member of the Audit Committee: $10,000. b. Member of the Compensation Committee: $7,500. c. Member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: $5,000. d. Member of the Clinical Committee: $5,000. 3.

Chairperson of the Compensation Committee: $20,000. c. Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: $15,000. d. Chairperson of the Clinical Committee: $15,000 Equity Compensation Equity awards will be granted under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan or any successor equity incentive plan adopted by the Board and the stockholders of the Company (the “Plan”). 1. Automatic Equity Grants. Annual and initial grants will be made as set forth below beginning for the relevant periods occurring after the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (“Annual Meeting”) during 2022 (the “2022 Annual Meeting”): Column A - Board and Committee Charters, Policies & Compensation 1
a. Annual Grant for Outside Directors. Without any further action of the Board, at the close of business on the third business day in January of each calendar year, each Outside Director shall be granted restricted stock units under the Plan covering shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Shares”) having an RSU Value (as defined below) of $200,000 (an “Annual RSU Award”); provided that the number of Shares covered by each Annual RSU Award will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Each Annual RSU Award shall fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the applicable Outside Director’s continued service as a member of the Board through such dates. b. Initial Grant for New Outside Directors. Without any further action of the Board, each person who is elected or appointed for the first time to serve as a member of the Board, effective on a date other than January 1, will automatically, upon the effective date of his or her initial election or appointment, be granted restricted stock units under the Plan covering Shares having a prorated RSU Value equal to (x) $200,000, multiplied by (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days between the effective date of the new director’s initial election or appointment and the end of the calendar year of such election or appointment, and the denominator of which is 365 (a “New Director Initial RSU Award”); provided that the number of Shares covered by each New Director Initial RSU Award will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Each New Director Initial RSU Award shall fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Outside Director’s continued service as a member of the Board through such dates. 2. Transitional RSU Grants. On the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting, in light of the change in timing for the equity grants implemented as part of this Amended and Restated Director Compensation Policy, each Outside Director who continues to serve as members of the Board after the 2022 Annual Meeting shall be granted a restricted stock unit award under the Plan covering Shares having a prorated RSU Value equal to (x) the Annual RSU Award value, multiplied by (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days between date of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the end of the 2022 calendar year, and the denominator of which is 365 (a “2022 Transitional Annual RSU Award”); provided that the number of Shares covered by each 2022 Transitional Annual RSU Award will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Each 2022 Transitional Annual RSU Award shall vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the applicable Outside Director’s continued service as a member of the Board through such vesting date. 3. Vesting; Change in Control. Except as set forth herein, all vesting is subject to the Outside Director’s continued service as a member of the Board through each applicable vesting date. Upon an Outside Director’s cessation of service on the Board as a result of (i) death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), the unvested portion of any restricted stock unit award granted in consideration of such Outside Director’s service as a member of the Board shall vest in full effective as of the effective date of the cessation of service (the “Termination Date”), (ii) the resignation by the Outside Director at the end of the Outside Director’s then current term or the removal of the Outside Director other than for cause, the unvested portion of any restricted stock unit award granted in consideration of such Outside Director’s service as a member of the Board shall vest pro-rata based on the portion of the award’s original vesting period during which such Outside Director served prior to the Termination Date, and (iii) the removal of the Outside Director for cause or the resignation by the Outside Director other than at the end of the Outside Director’s then current term, the unvested portion of any restricted stock unit award granted in consideration of such Outside Director’s service as a member of the Board shall be forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Outside Director who remains in continuous service as a member of the Board until immediately prior to the closing of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Plan), any unvested portion of any restricted stock unit award granted in consideration of such Outside Director’s service as a member of the Board shall vest in full immedia tely prior to, and contingent upon, the consummation of the Change in Control. 4. Calculation of RSU Value. The “RSU Value” of a restricted stock unit award to be granted under this policy will be calculated with how similar calculations are completed by the Company for its employees at the time of grant, as determined by the Board or the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board from time to time, which calculation, as of the effective date of this Amended and Restated Director Compensation Policy is completed as being equal to the number of Shares subject to the restricted stock unit award multiplied by the 30-trading day average closing price of a Share ending on the trading day prior to the grant date. 5. Discretionary Grants. In addition to the automatic grants described herein, the Board, in its sole discretion, may grant additional equity awards to certain Outside Directors for services to the Company that exceed the standard expectations of an Outside Director or for other circumstances determined appropriate by the Board, including, without limitation, an inducement for the Outside Director to remain on the Board, or the service of an Outside Director as the Board’s Lead Independent Director. 6. Remaining Terms. The remaining terms and conditions of each restricted stock unit award granted under this policy Column A - Board and Committee Charters, Policies & Compensation 2
will be as set forth in the Plan and the Company’s standard form of restricted stock unit award agreement, as amended from time to time by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, as applicable. Expenses The Company will reimburse each Outside Director for ordinary, necessary and reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses to cover in-person attendance at, and participation in, Board and committee meetings; provided that the Outside Director timely submits to the Company appropriate documentation substantiating such expenses in accordance with the Company’s travel and expense policy, as in effect from time to time.
