VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION


Outstanding Securities and Quorum

The close of business on July 26, 2017April 28, 2022 was the record date (the “Record Date”) for stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 20172022 Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, we had 6,033,49556,048,564 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, 1,111,111 shares of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 555,555 shares of Series B preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding, according to the records maintained by our transfer agent. All of the shares of our common stock, Series A preferred stockissued and Series B preferred stock outstanding on the Record Date, and only those shares (collectively, the “Voting Shares”), are entitled to vote together as one class on each of the proposals to be voted upon at the 20172022 Annual Meeting.

Our largest stockholder and a consolidated variable interest entity of the Company, Allied Physicians of California, a Professional Medical Corporation (“APC”), held approximately 11,033,301 shares of our common stock as of the Record Date, representing a controlling interest in our Company. Pursuant to a Voting and Registration Rights Agreement that APC and the Company entered into on September 11, 2019 in connection with the consummation of a series of interrelated transactions further described in “Related Person Transactions” below, APC shall only be permitted to vote up to 9.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock at any time a vote is taken and will grant a proxy to the Company’s management to vote any excess shares in the same proportion as all other votes cast on any proposal coming before the Company’s stockholders.

As of the Record Date, 1,111,111 shares of our Series A preferred stock and 555,555 shares of our Series B preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, were held by our wholly owned subsidiary, Network Medical Management, Inc. (“NMM”). Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, such shares held by NMM shall be neither entitled to vote, nor counted for quorum purposes, at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

The presence of the holders of a majority of the Voting Shares, in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the 2022 Annual Meeting, including voting on each proposal to be voted on at the meeting. Broker non-votes and abstentions by stockholders from voting will be counted towards determining whether or not a quorum is present at the 2022 Annual Meeting, as the Voting Shares so held are entitled to vote at the meeting but do not count as affirmative or negative votes cast.

Voting Procedures

Holders of Voting Shares will have one vote for each such share so held with regard to each matter to be voted upon.

A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker or other nominee are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and has not received voting instructions from beneficial owners. If an executed proxy is returned, indicating that the broker or nominee holding shares in street name does not have discretionary authority as to the shares with respect to a proposal, such shares will be considered present at the 2022 Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum on all matters, but will not be considered to be votes cast. Similarly, abstentions by stockholders from voting and broker non-votes will be counted towards determining whether or not a quorum is present. If your broker holds your shares in its name and you do not instruct your broker how to vote, your broker will only have discretion to vote your shares on “routine” matters. Where a proposal is not “routine,” a broker who has not received instructions from beneficial owners does not have discretion to vote

5


uninstructed shares on that proposal. At the 2022 Annual Meeting, only the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2) is considered a routine matter. All other proposals are considered “non-routine,” and your broker will not have discretion to vote on these proposals.


Proposal 1: Elect Our Directors
The directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the Voting Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 2022 Annual Meeting, meaning that the nominees receiving the highest numbers of “FOR” votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, will be elected. Because our Series A and Series B preferred stock are held by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and thus is not entitled to vote, only shares of our common stock, issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, are entitled to vote on this proposal. In voting on Proposal 1 to elect directors, you may vote either FOR all the nominees, WITHHOLD your vote from all the nominees, or WITHHOLD your vote from any one or more specific nominees and vote FOR any one or more specific nominees. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will not be included in the vote tally for the election of the directors, and therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal 2: Ratify the Appointment of Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In voting with regard to the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, stockholders may vote in favor of such proposal, vote against such proposal, or abstain from voting. The vote required to approve Proposal 2 is the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively on this proposal. Because our Series A and Series B preferred stock are held by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and thus is not entitled to vote, only shares of our common stock, issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, are entitled to vote on this proposal. Abstentions, if any, will have no effect on the result of this vote. Brokerage firms and other nominees have the authority to vote uninstructed shares held by them in street name on this proposal. Any broker non-votes, if brokers or nominees do not exercise this authority, will have no effect on the result of this vote. We are not required to obtain the approval of stockholders to appoint our independent registered public accounting firm. However, if our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee of the Board will reconsider its appointment.
6


Proposal 3: Vote, on an Advisory Basis, on Named Executive Officer CompensationIn voting with regard to the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation program for our named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement, stockholders may vote in favor of such proposal or against such proposal or may abstain from voting. The vote required to approve Proposal 3 is the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the 2022 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Because our Series A and Series B preferred stock is held by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and thus is not entitled to vote, only shares of our common stock, issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, are entitled to vote on this proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “against” the proposal. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal. Broker non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on the proposal as brokers are not entitled to vote on such proposals in the absence of voting instructions from the beneficial owner.
Proposal 4: Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on Executive CompensationIn voting with regard to the non-binding advisory vote on whether a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation program for our named executive officers should be held every one, two, or three years, stockholders may vote to have such vote every one year, two years, three years, or abstain. The vote required to approve Proposal 4 is a majority of the total votes cast on such proposal, provided a quorum is present. Abstentions will have no effect on the proposal. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal. Broker non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on the stockholder proposal as brokers are not entitled to vote on such proposals in the absence of voting instructions from the beneficial owner. If none of the frequency alternatives (one year, two years, or three years) receives a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, we will consider the highest number of votes cast by stockholders to be the frequency that has been selected by our stockholders. Because the frequency vote is advisory and not binding on us or the Board in any way, the Board may decide that it is in our and our stockholders’ best interests to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option selected by our stockholders.

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the 20172022 Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, withheld votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes.

The holders ofnon-votes, if any.

In voting with regard to the proposal to elect directors (Proposal 1), stockholders may vote in favor of all the nominees, withhold their votes as to all nominees or withhold their votes as to one or more specific nominees. The vote required by Proposal 1 is governed by Delaware law and is a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote, provided that a quorum is present. As a result, in accordance with Delaware law, votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will not be counted and will have no effect on the voting for election of directors. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal.

Under the rules of The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that govern most domestic stock brokerage firms, member brokerage firms that hold shares in “street name” for beneficial owners may, to the extent that such beneficial owners do not furnish voting instructions with respect to any or all proposals submitted for stockholder action, vote in their discretion upon proposals which are considered “discretionary” proposals under the rules of the NYSE. Member brokerage firms that have received no instructions from their

clients as to “non-discretionary” proposals do not have discretion to vote on these proposals. Such broker non-votes will not be considered in determining whether a quorum exists at the 2017 Annual Meeting and will not be considered as votes cast in determining the outcome of any proposal. Under the rules of the NYSE as currently in effect, voting on directors by member broker firms is “non-discretionary”.

Voting Shares represented by proxies insubmitted over the accompanying formInternet or by telephone, or for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned to us, will be voted at the 20172022 Annual Meeting in accordance with the stockholders’ instructions contained therein. In the absence of contrary instructions, shares represented by such proxies will be voted FOR the election of each of the director nominees named in this proxy statement in on Proposal 1.1, FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm on Proposal 2, FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers on Proposal 3 and FOR the alternative of once every three years as the preferred frequency for future advisory votes on executive compensation for our named executive officers on Proposal 4. Management does not know of any matters to be presented at the 20172022 Annual Meeting other than those set forth in this proxy statement and in the Notice accompanying this proxy statement.notice of 2022 Annual Meeting.

A beneficial owner of our common stock may revoke or change voting instructions by contacting the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee holding the shares in street names or by obtaining a legal proxy from such institution and voting at the meeting.


Householding of Proxy Materials

Some banks, brokers, and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our proxy statement and annual report to stockholders may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement in the future, or if you and other shareholders sharing your address are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials and you would like to receive only a single copy of such materials in the future, please notify your broker. You may also call (866) 540-7095 or write to: Householding Department, Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, and include your name, the name of your broker or other nominee, and your account number(s).

Board of Directors

Director Independence

Our Board currently consists of seven members, a majority of whom meet the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), as currently in effect. The Board has made independence determinations in accordance with the NASDAQ listing standards, which state that2022 Annual Meeting, a director will serve until the annual meeting of our stockholders to be held in 2023 and a successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.


Vote Required

Pursuant to the Company’s Restated Bylaws, as amended, 11 directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the Voting Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 2022 Annual Meeting. Such voting standard means that the nominees who receive the highest number of votes “FOR” their election up to the number of directors to be elected at the meeting, which is 11, will be elected even if any such nominee receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than votes “FOR” his election. Votes withheld and broker non-votes, if any, will not be independent if:

(i)treated as votes cast and, therefore, will not affect the director, or an immediate family memberoutcome of the director, is, or within the last three years was, employed by the company or anyelection of its subsidiaries;

(ii) the director, or an immediate family member of the director, has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from the company, other than director and committee fees, and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent on continued service);

(iii) the director, or an immediate family member of the director, is a current partner of a firm that is the company’s (or any of its subsidiaries) internal or external auditor; or is a current employee of such a firm; or who was, within the last three years (but is no longer), a partner or employee of such firm and personally worked on the company’s audit within that time;

2022 Annual Meeting.

With respect to any relationship not covered above, the determination of whether the relationship is material, and therefore whether a director would be independent, will be made by those directors who satisfy the independence criteria set forth above.

In addition to the forgoing, the Board also makes such independence determinations with respect to its audit committee and compensation committee members after taking into account the additional independence and financial literacy standards for members of each such committee, as applicable, in accordance with and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ listing rules as currently in effect.

The


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE NAMED NOMINEES ON PROPOSAL 1.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board held eight meetings and acted by written consent eight times during fiscal year 2017. Each of our incumbent directors attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which such director served in fiscal year 2017, except that Dr. Lam attended fewer than 75% of such meetings.

The company’s non-management directors meet periodically in executive session without management present to discuss certain Board policies, processes and practices, and other matters relating to the company and the functioning of the Board. These discussions are informal, in keeping with the company’s size, and we do not have an official presiding or “lead” independent director for such meetings.

We attempt to schedule our annual meeting of stockholders at a time and date to accommodate attendance by directors, taking into account the directors’ schedules. Directors are encouraged to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, but the Board has not adopted a formal policy with respect to such attendance. All of our incumbent directors attended our 2016 annual meeting of stockholders, except for Dr. Lam and Mr. Schmidt.

Board Leadership

Our company is led by Warren Hosseinion, M.D., who has served as our Chief Executive Officer since July 2008, and Gary Augusta, who has served as our Executive Chairman since October 2013. We do not formally have an independent lead director.

Our Board leadership structure is commonly utilized by many other public companies in the United States, and we believe that this leadership structure has been effective for our company. We believe that having a Chief Executive Officer who can focus on the broad executive and operational issues facing the company, and a separate Executive Chairman who can focus on Board and oversight functions, independent chairs for each of our Board committees and only independent directors serving on these committees allocates responsibility and creates checks and balances for our company. This structure provides us with leadership for our company to ensure continuity of our operational, executive and Board functions by individuals playing to their strongest qualities, combined with oversight of the company by experienced independent directors.

Risk Management Oversight Function of the Board

The Board has allocated responsibilities for overseeing risk associated with the company’s business among the Board as a whole and the committees of the Board. The Board and the committees of the Board have undertaken some risk oversight review in accordance with this policy. In performing its risk oversight function, the Board is responsible for overseeing management’s development and execution of appropriate business strategies to mitigate the risk that such strategies will fail to generate long-term value for the company and its stockholders or that such strategies will motivate management to take excessive risks. The Board periodically reviews information regarding the company’s financial, operational and strategic risks.

Each of the Board’s committees is responsible for overseeing the management of company risks that fall within the committee’s areas of responsibility, including identifying, quantifying and assisting management in mitigating risks. In performing this function, each committee has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. As set forth in its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for discussing with

Recommendation

management the company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control those exposures. The Audit Committee provides updates to the Board at its regular meetings. The Audit Committee also meets privately with the company’shas appointed Ernst & Young, LLP (“EY”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. In deciding to appoint EY, the Audit Committee reviewed auditor independence issues and existing commercial relationships with EY and concluded that EY has no commercial relationship with the Company that would impair its independence for the year ending December 31, 2022. The Board recommends that our stockholders ratify the appointment of EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. While we are not required to have our stockholders ratify the appointment of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm, we are doing so because we value our stockholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. If the stockholders do not ratify this appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain EY. If the selection of EY is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may still direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time it determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and our Chief Financial Officerstockholders.


Representatives of EY are expected to be present at least quarterly. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the company’s risk management related2022 Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to employee compensation plansmake a statement if they desire to do so and arrangements.

The Audit Committee evaluated the proposals and considered several factors, including audit quality, the benefits of Messrs. Schmidt (chairman), Nihalanitenure versus a fresh perspective, engagement teams, potential transition risks, auditor independence, and Schreck.the appropriateness of fees relative to both efficiency and audit quality. As a result of this process, on April 24, 2020, the Audit Committee selected EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Additionally, Mr. Nihalani’s qualifications to serve on our Board of Directors include over 35 years, of corporate experience working as a senior executive and director with both public and private organizations. Mr. Schmidt has a background in finance and is the past President of SCAN, one of the nation’s largest Medicare Senior Advantage insurers; his extensive knowledge of the insurance industry with a special focus on Medicare, enables him to provide a unique perspective to us, as a regulated business, and to serve as chair of our Audit Committee.

The holders of Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock vote together with the holders of common stock on all matters set forth in the Notice. In computing the number of shares of stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of stock subject to options, warrants, and convertible securities held by that person or entity that are currently exercisable or convertible or that will become exercisable or convertible within 60 days following July 26, 2017. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

The information provided in the following table is based on our records, information filed with the SEC, and information provided to us by the applicable holder of the stock, except where otherwise noted.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our Class A common stock and our other equity securities. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representation from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for those persons, we believe that all reporting requirements under Section 16(a) for the 2017 fiscal year were met in a timely manner by our directors, executive officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners, except that Messrs. Augusta, Fawcett, Nihalani, Schmidt and Schreck were late in filing a Form 4 with respect to one transaction each. All of these reports have been filed as of the date of this proxy statement.

Other Agreements with Drs. Hosseinion and Vazquez.  Effective June 29, 2016, our affiliated physician group, ApolloMed Hospitalists, a Medical Corporation (“AMH”), entered into substantially similar Amended and Restated Hospitalist Participation Service Agreements with each of Dr. Hosseinion (the “Hosseinion Hospitalist Participation Agreement”) and Dr. Vazquez (individually, the “Vazquez Hospitalist Participation Agreement” and, together with the Hosseinion Hospitalist Participation Agreement, the “Hospitalist Participation Agreements”), replacing agreements between AMH and Drs. Hosseinion and Vazquez that had originally been entered into on March 28, 2014 and amended on January 12, 2016. Pursuant to the Hospitalist Participation Agreements, Drs. Hosseinion and Vazquez provide physician services for AMH.

The purpose of the new Hospitalist Participation Agreements is to align payment and benefit provisions, and make other technical changes, to the employment agreements that were previously in effect with each of Drs. Hosseinion and Vazquez. Each of the Hospitalist Participation Agreements provides for (i) hourly compensation rates for covered inpatient intensive medicine services; (ii) AMH’s obligation to secure and pay for medical malpractice insurance, with specified minimum coverage, on behalf of Drs. Hosseinion and Vazquez; and (iii) maintain or purchase a “tail” policy for at least five years following the termination of the respective Hospitalist Participation Agreements. The Hospitalist Participation Agreements contain other provisions typical for an agreement of this type, including non-disclosure, non-solicitation, termination and arbitration of disputes provisions.


The Hosseinion Hospitalist Participation Agreement replaced, and thereby terminated, the prior hospitalist participation service agreement between AMH and Dr. Hosseinion, and the Vazquez Hospitalist Participation Agreement replaced, and thereby terminated, the prior hospitalist participation service agreement between AMH and Dr. Vazquez.

As a condition of our causing our affiliates to enter into the Hospitalist Participation Agreements, also on March 28, 2014 we entered into substantially similar stock option agreements with each of Dr. Hosseinion (the “Hosseinion Stock Option Agreement”) and Dr. Vazquez (individually, the “Vazquez Stock Option Agreement” and, together with the Hosseinion Stock Option Agreement, the “Executive Stock Option Agreements”). Each Executive Stock Option Agreement provides that Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez grant us the option to purchase (at fair market value) all equity interests in the Company held by Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez, as the case may be, in the event that (i) their respective Hospitalist Participation Agreement or Executive Employment Agreement is terminated by us for cause due to a willful or intentional breach by Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez, as the case may be; (ii) Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez commits fraud or any felony against us or any of our affiliates; (iii) Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez directly or indirectly solicits any patients, customers, clients, employees, agents or independent contractors of our or any of our affiliates for competitive purposes; or (iv) Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez directly or indirectly Competes (as such term is defined in the Executive Stock Option Agreements) with us or anyItem 304(a)(1)(v) of our affiliates.

Equity Awards

During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate of 149,200 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain employees, directors and consultants. The stock options were awarded under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), and entitle the recipient to purchase the stated numbers of share of the company’s common stock at the stated exercise price when the applicable vesting requirements are satisfied. The options have exercise prices ranging from $4.50 – $6.00 and vesting terms between six months through three years.

REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our Board has adopted a Related Party Transaction Policy that provides for the review and approval of all related party transactions, which are generally defined under the policy as any transaction required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. This written policy is supplemented by other written policies including our Code of Ethics for Directors, Executive Officers and Other Senior Personnel, and the Audit Committee’s charter, as well as certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Under our Related Party Transaction Policy, the Audit Committee or such other committee as may be appointed by the Board (collectively, the “Committee”) reviews the material facts relating to all related party transactions that require the Committee’s approval and considers whether to approve of our entry into the related party transaction, subject to certain exceptions. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Committee shall take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate:

the related person’s interest and involvement in the interested transaction;
the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the interested transaction;
the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the interested transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss;
whether the interested transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of business of the company;
whether the interested transaction with the related person is proposed to be, or was, entered into on terms no less favorable to the company than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party;
the purpose of, and the potential benefitsEY to the Company of, the interested transaction; and
any other information regarding the interested transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

No one of the foregoing factors is dispositive but should be considered qualitatively as the facts and circumstances of a particular transaction warrant, in the judgment of the Committee.

Our Related Party Transaction Policy also provides that no director shall participate in any approval of a related party transaction for which he or she is a related party, and that the director shall provide all material information concerning the transaction to the Committee.

Under our Related Party Transaction Policy, certain transactions are deemed to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee, even if the aggregate amount involved exceeds $120,000. These transactions include:

employment of executive officers;
director compensation;
transactions where all stockholders receive proportional benefits;
certain transactions involving the purchase of advertising from us at market rates and on such other terms as are consistent with those obtainable in arms-length transactions;
transactions involving competitive bids; and
transactions that, as a result of corporate practice of medicine or similar laws, require a physician to serve as nominee shareholder on our behalf.

The Committee may establish such other categories of transactions that shall be deemed pre-approved or ratified (as applicable) and the Committee shall identify such transactions in connection with this Policy or otherwise in its deliberations.


If a transaction with a related party will be ongoing, the Committee may establish guidelines for the Company’s management to follow in its ongoing dealings with the related party. Thereafter, on a schedule as determined in the discretion of the Committee, the Committee shall review and assess ongoing relationships with the related party to see that they are in compliance with the Committee’s guidelines and that the related party transaction remains appropriate.

Onwas an annual basis, each director and executive officer of the company must complete a Director and Officer Questionnaire that requires disclosure of any transaction, arrangement or relationship with us during the last fiscal year in which the director or executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, had a direct or indirect material interest. Any transaction, arrangement or relationship disclosed in the Director and Officer Questionnaire submitted by a director or executive officer is reviewed andimportant factor considered by the BoardCompany in making independence determinations with respectreaching a decision as to directors and resolving any conflicts of interestaccounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that may arise.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Arrangements with Drs. Hosseinion and Vazquez

Primarily because of laws prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine, we have entered into long-term management service agreements, loan agreements and other similar arrangements with affiliated physician entities. These physician entities must have only physician owners and therefore our Chief Executive Officer, Warren Hosseinion, M.D., serves as our nominee owner in such entities, as described below.

Each of AMH, ApolloMed Care Clinic (“ACC”), Maverick Medical Group, Inc. (“MMG”), AKM Medical Group, Inc. (“AKM”) and Southern California Heart Centers (“SCHC”) has entered into a Management Services Agreement (each, an “MSA” and collectively, “MSAs”) with AMM under which AMM has exclusive authority to manage each of the affiliated entities and is obligated to provide all non-physician personnel. AMM is entitled to management fees as set forth in each MSA. The term of each MSA is 20 years from its effective date, and automatically renews for successive 5-year periods, unless terminated earlier for cause or because of a party’s breach.

In connection with the MSAs, Dr. Hosseinion has entered into Physician Shareholder Agreements in favor of the company, in his capacity as a stockholder of, and for the account of, each of the affiliated entities that have entered into MSAs with AMM. The purpose of the Physician Shareholder Agreements is to memorialize the agreement of Dr. Hosseinion to act in accordance with the MSAs, and to the extent of Dr. Hosseinion’s personal authority, to refrain from any action or inaction that would result in a breach by any affiliated entity of its obligations under its MSA. To that end, each Physician Shareholder Agreement contains covenants which obligate Dr. Hosseinion to comply with the applicable MSA and restrict Dr. Hosseinion’s ability to transfer equity held by Dr. Hosseinion in the applicable affiliated entity or to issue new equity in the applicable affiliated entity. Each MSA also provides the company with the right to designate a third party to acquire all (or such amount such that the transferee would acquire a 51% interest) of Dr. Hosseinion’s equity in the applicable affiliated entity for $100,was subject to a fair market value adjustment, if applicable.

Each of AMH, ACC, MMG, AKM and SCHC has additionally entered into an Intercompany Loan Agreement with AMM under which AMM has agreed to provide a revolving loan commitment to each of the affiliated entities in an amount set forth in each Intercompany Loan Agreement. Each Intercompany Loan Agreement providesany disagreement (as that AMM’s obligation to make any advances automatically terminates concurrently with the termination of the MSA with the applicable affiliated entity. In addition, each Intercompany Loan Agreement provides that (i) any material breach by Dr. Hosseinion of the applicable Physician Shareholder Agreement or (ii) the termination of the MSA with the applicable affiliated entity constitutes an event of default under the Intercompany Loan Agreement. The Intercompany Loan Agreement with AMH provides for a maximum advance of $10 million and terminates on September 30, 2018. The Intercompany Loan Agreement with ACC provides for a maximum advance of $1 million and terminates on July 31, 2018. The Intercompany Loan Agreement, as amended, with MMG provides for a maximum advance of $2 million and terminates on February 1, 2018. The Intercompany Loan Agreement with AKM provides for a maximum advance of $5 million and terminates on May 30, 2019. The Intercompany Loan Agreement with SCHC provides for a maximum advance of $5 million and terminates on July 21, 2019. Outstanding principal under


each of the Intercompany Loan Agreements bears interest at the greater of 10% per annum or the LIBOR rate described in each Intercompany Loan Agreement.

We have entered into Stock Option Agreements with each of Dr. Hosseinion and Dr. Vazquez. The Stock Option Agreements provide that each of Dr. Hosseinion and Dr. Vazquez grant the Company the option to purchase (at fair market value) all equity interests in the Company held by Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez, as applicable, in the event that (i) either the Hosseinion Hospitalist Participation Agreement or the Vazquez Hospitalist Participation Agreement, respectively, or the Hosseinion Employment Agreement or the Vazquez Employment Agreement, respectively, is terminated by the Company for cause due to a willful or intentional breach by Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez, as applicable, (ii) Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez, as applicable, commits fraud or any felony against the company or any of its affiliates, (iii) Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez, as applicable, directly or indirectly solicits away from the company any patients, customers, clients, employees, agents or independent contractors of the company or any of its affiliates for competitive purposes or (iv) Dr. Hosseinion or Dr. Vazquez, as applicable, directly or indirectly “competes” (as such term is defined in the Stock Option Agreements) with the Company or anyItem 304(a)(1)(iv) of its affiliates.

Relationship with NMM

We have numerous arrangements with NMM from a financial and operational perspective, as well as the pending merger.

October 2015 Investment by NMM

On October 14, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2015 Agreement”) with NMM, pursuant to which we sold to NMM, and NMM purchased from us, in a private offering of securities, 1,111,111 Series A Units, each Series A Unit consisting of one share of our Series A Preferred Stock and a Series A Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share. NMM paid us an aggregate $10,000,000 for the Series A Units, the proceeds of which we used primarily to repay certain outstanding indebtedness owed by us to NNARegulation S-K and the balance for working capital.

The Series A Preferred Stock hasrelated instructions) or a liquidation preference in the amount of $9.00 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock can be voted for the number of shares of our common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted, which initially is one-for-one.

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock, at the option of NMM, at any time after issuance at an initial conversion rate of one-for-one, subject to adjustment in thereportable event of stock dividends, stock splits and certain other similar transactions. The Series A Preferred Stock is mandatorily convertible not sooner than the earlier to occur of (i) the later of (x) January 31, 2017 or (y) 60 days after the date on which we file our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2016 (the “Redemption Expiration Date”); or (ii) the date on which we receive the written, irrevocable decision of NMM not to require a redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock (as described in the following paragraph), in the event that we engage in one or more transactions resulting in gross proceeds of not less than $5,000,000, not including any transaction with NMM.

At any time prior to conversion and through the Redemption Expiration Date, the Series A Preferred Stock was redeemable at the option of NMM, on one occasion, in the event that our net revenue for the four quarters ending September 30, 2016, as reported in our periodic filings under the Exchange Act, were less than $60,000.000. In such event, we would have had up to one year from the date of the notice of redemption by NMM to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Warrants and any shares of our common stock issued in connection with the exercise of any Series A Warrants theretofore (collectively the “Redeemed Securities”), for the aggregate price paid therefor by NMM, together with interest at a rate of 10% per annum from the date of the notice of redemption until the closing of the redemption. We did not attain the $60,000,000 net revenues milestone by such date. NMM relinquished its redemption rights relating to the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of a Consent and Waiver Agreement dated as of December 21, 2016 by and between the Company and NMM, which was entered into in connection with the entering into of the Merger Agreement.


Any mandatory conversion described above shall not take place until such time as it is determined that that conditions for the redemption of the Redeemed Securities have not been satisfied or, if such conditions exist, NMM has decided not to have such securities redeemed.

The Series A Warrants may be exercised at any time after issuance and through October 14, 2020, for $9.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and stock splits. Alternatively, the Series A Warrants may be exercised pursuant to a “cashless exercise” feature, for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (x) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the Series A Warrant) of the shares in respect of which the Series A Warrant is being converted minus the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price (as defined in the Series A Warrant) of such shares by (y) the Fair Market Value of one share of our common stock. The Series A Warrants are not separately transferable from the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Warrants were subject to redemption in the event that the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemed by NMM, as described above.

Pursuant to the 2015 Agreement, NMM has the right to designate to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors one person to be nominated as a director of the Company. NMM has designated Thomas S. Lam, M.D., and he was first elected as a director on January 19, 2016. Dr. Lam has been renominated to be elected as a director at the 2017 Annual Meeting.

Without the written consent of NMM, between the Closing Date and the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, we shall not acquire, sell all or substantially all of its assets to, effect a change of control, or merge, combine or consolidate with, any other person engaged in the business of being an MSO, ACO or IPA, or enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

The 2015 Agreement contains other provisions typical of a transaction of this nature, including without limitation, representation and warranties, mutual indemnification by the parties, governing law and venue for resolution of disputes.

The securities sold to NMM have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and there are no registration rights with respect thereto.

March 2016 Investment

On March 30, 2016, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2016 Agreement”) with NMM, pursuant to which we sold to NMM, and NMM purchased from us, in a private offering of securities, 555,555 Series B Units, each Series B Unit consisting of one share of our Series B Preferred Stock and a Series B Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. NMM paid us an aggregate $4,999,995 for the Series B Units, the proceeds of which will be used by us for working capital.

The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference in the amount of $9.00 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock can be voted for the number of shares of our common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock could then be converted, which initially is one-for-one.

The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock, at the option of NMM, at any time after issuance at an initial conversion rate of one-for-one, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and certain other similar transactions. The Series B Preferred Stock is mandatorily convertible in the event that we engage in one or more transactions resulting in gross proceeds of not less than $5,000,000, not including any transactions with NMM.

The Series B Warrants may be exercised at any time after issuance and through March 31, 2021, for $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and stock splits. Alternatively, the Series B Warrants may be exercised pursuant to a “cashless exercise” feature, for that number of shares of our common stock determined by dividing (x) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the Series B Warrant) of the shares in respect of which the Series B Warrant is being converted minus the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price (as defined in the Series B Warrant) of such shares by (y) the Fair Market Value of one share of our common stock. The Series B Warrants are not separately transferable from the Series B Preferred Stock.


The 2016 Agreement contains other provisions typical of a transaction of this nature, including without limitation, representation and warranties, mutual indemnification by the parties, governing law and venue for resolution of disputes.

The securities sold to NMM have not been registered under the Securities Act and there are no registration rights with respect thereto.

The Proposed Merger and January 2017 Loan

On December 21, 2016, we entered into the Merger Agreement with NMM. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Apollo Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Subsidiary”), will merge with and into NMM, with NMM becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. The merger is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-deferred reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In the merger, NMM will receive such number of shares of Holdings common stock such that, at the closing, NMM shareholders will own 82% and Holding’s stockholders will own 18% of the issued and outstanding shares. Consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including, among other things, approval by the stockholders of the Company and the stockholders of NMM. As part of the Merger Agreement, the Company and NMM have made various mutual representations and warranties.

The Merger Agreement also provides that Thomas Lam, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of NMM, and Warren Hosseinion, M.D., will be Co-Chief Executive Officers of the combined company upon closing of the transaction. Kenneth Sim, M.D., who currently serves as Chairman of NMM, will be Executive Chairman of the Company. Gary Augusta, current Executive Chairman of the Company, will be President, Mihir Shah will continue as Chief Financial Officer, and Hing Ang, current Chief Financial Officer of NMM will be the Chief Operating Officer. Adrian Vazquez, M.D. and Albert Young, M.D. will be Co-Chief Medical Officers. The Board of Directors will consist of nine directors, five appointees (including three independent directors) from NMM and four appointees (including two independent directors) from the Company. In connection therewith, if the merger is consummated, as currently anticipated, during the twelve month-period following the 2017 Annual Meeting, Messrs. Nihalani and Schreck intend to resign as directors, assuming they are re-elected, in order to make available two directorships that have been allocated pursuant to the foregoing terms of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to Delaware law and our Bylaws, such vacancies could be filled by the remaining directors then in office.

Thomas Lam, M.D., who is one of our directors, and Kenneth Sim, M.D. entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreements”) with us. Under the Voting Agreements, Drs. Lam and Sim have agreed, among other things, to vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger and the Merger Agreement.

As required by the terms of the Merger Agreement, on January 3, 2017 NMM provided a working capital loan to us in the principal amount of $5,000,000, which is evidenced by a promissory note (the “NMM Note”). The NMM Note has a term of two years, with our payment obligations commencing on February 1, 2017 and continuing on a quarterly basis thereafter until January 2019 (the “NMM Maturity Date”). Under the terms of the NMM Note, we must pay NMM interest on the principal balance outstanding at the Prime Rate (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Alliance Note Guaranty

In connection with a loan in the amount of $4,990,000 made to us in March 2017 by Alliance Apex, LLC (“Alliance”), evidenced by our promissory note in such original principal outstanding amount (the “Alliance Note”), Alliance requested NMM to guaranty repayment of the Alliance Loan if it is not converted into shares of our common stock in accordance therewith. In connection with the issuance of such guaranty, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into an Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger as of


March 30, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement Amendment”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement Amendment, certain shares of our common stock, including shares issuable to Alliance upon conversion of the Alliance Loan, are excluded from the calculation of “Parent Shares” (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for purposes of calculating the “Exchange Ratio” (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Additionally, as consideration for excluding the shares issuable upon conversion of the Alliance Note from the definition of Parent Shares and the calculation of Exchange Ratio and NMM’s issuing the guaranty, we agreed to issue NMM a stock purchase warrant for 850,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.00 per share, such warrant to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement), payable at the closing of the merger.

Director Independence

The Board has determined that a majority of its current members and a majority of its director nominees for election at the 2022 Annual Meeting meet the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). Based upon information requested from and provided by each director or nominee concerning his background, employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, the Board has affirmatively determined that Mitchell W. Kitayama, David G. Schmidt, Michael F. Eng, Ernest A. Bates, M.D., John Chiang, J. Lorraine Estradas, R.N., B.S.N., M.P.H., and Weili Dai would qualify as “independent” as defined in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). In making such determinations, the Board considered all relevant facts and circumstances, including commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, and familial relationships, not merely from the standpoint of a director or nominee, but also from that of persons or organizations affiliated with the director or nominee.

Subject to certain exceptions, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the Board, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and that a director cannot be an “independent” director if (a) the director is, or in the past three years has been, an employee of ours; (b) a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of ours; (c) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family has received more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from us within the preceding three years, other than for service as a director or benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation (or, for a family member, as a non-executive employee); (d) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is a current partner of our independent public accounting firm, or has worked for such firm in any capacity on our audit at any time during the past three years; (e) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a company where one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee; or (f) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is an executive officer, partner, or controlling stockholder of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, us in an amount which, in any 12 month period during our past three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year or $200,000 (except for payments arising solely from investments in our securities or payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs). With respect to any relationship not covered above, the determination of whether the relationship is material, or otherwise deemed filed under eitherand therefore whether a director would be independent, will be made by those directors who satisfy the independence criteria set forth above.

The Board also makes such Act.

The Audit Committee is currently comprisedindependence determinations with respect to its committees after taking into account the additional independence standards for members of three independent directors, all of whom are independent undereach such committee, as applicable, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ. The duties and responsibilities of aNASDAQ listing rules as currently in effect. In order to be considered an independent member of an audit committee under Rule 10A-3 of the Audit Committee areExchange Act, a committee member may not, other than in addition to his or her dutiescapacity as a member of the audit committee, the Board, or any other committee of the Board, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the applicable company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the applicable company or any of its subsidiaries. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director who is currently serving on a committee of the Board concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, the Board has affirmatively

13


determined that each of its three standing committees consists solely of “independent” directors who meet NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and all other applicable independence standards.

Board Meetings

The Board held 15 meetings and acted by written consent six times during 2021. Each of our incumbent directors attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which such director served in 2021. We attempt to schedule each annual meeting of our stockholders at a time and date to accommodate attendance by directors, taking into account the directors’ schedules. Directors are encouraged to attend our annual meetings of stockholders, but the Board has not adopted a formal policy with respect to such attendance. Five directors attended the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

Our independent directors meet periodically in executive session without management present to discuss our operations, policies, and practices, as well as other matters relating to us or the functioning of the Board.

Board Leadership Structure and Lead Independent Director

Dr. Lam and Mr. Sim serve as our Co-Chief Executive Officers, while Dr. Sim serves as our Executive Chairman of the Board and Dr. Lam serves as a director.

Our Board has not taken a position on the desirability, as a general matter, of having two individuals serve as Co-Chief Executive Officer. Rather, our Board believes that decisions regarding the individuals most appropriate to fill these and other critical senior leadership positions are highly dependent on the specific circumstances of the Company and its leadership at the time of such decisions, including the availability of qualified candidates for the position and the specific talents and experience of the available candidates. The Board believes that the Company benefits from Dr. Lam’s long-standing experience in the healthcare industry, as well as senior-level management experience leading the Company. The Board also believes that the Company benefits from Mr. Sim’s experience in the technology industry, as well as executive-level management experience leading companies. Accordingly, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for both individuals to serve as Co-Chief Executive Officers.

The Board believes that independent directors and management have different perspectives and roles in the development of the strategic vision and risk management of the Company. The Company’s independent directors provide experience, oversight, and expertise from outside the Company and the Company’s industry, while the Co-Chief Executive Officers provide Company-specific experience and expertise. The Board believes that Dr. Sim is currently the director best situated to serve as Executive Chairman, as he is the director most familiar with the Company’s business and industry and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy.

The Board has designated independent director, Mr. Kitayama, as our Lead Independent Director. Mr. Kitayama presides over executive sessions of the independent directors. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. Kitayama has duties and responsibilities, which include consulting with the Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officers regarding the schedule and agenda for Board meetings, acting as a liaison between the non-management directors as a group and management, and discharging such other duties and responsibilities as the Board may determine from time to time.

Risk Oversight Function of the Board

The Board has allocated responsibilities for overseeing risk associated with the Company’s business among the Board as a whole and the committees of the Board. In performing its risk oversight function, the Board is responsible for overseeing management’s development and execution of appropriate business strategies to mitigate the risk that such strategies will fail to generate long-term value for the Company and its stockholders or that such strategies will motivate management to take excessive risks. The Board periodically reviews information regarding the Company’s financial, operational, and strategic risks, including risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of the three committees of the Board is responsible for overseeing the management of risks that fall within the committee’s areas of responsibility, including identifying, quantifying, and assisting management in mitigating risks. In performing this function, each committee has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. As set forth in its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for managing the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control those exposures. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for addressing risks
14


associated with related-party transactions and concerns and complaints related to accounting and auditing matters. The Audit Committee provides regular updates to the entire Board. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the risk management related to the Company’s compensation plans and arrangements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee manages risks associated with the independence of the Board and overall effectiveness of the organization of the Board.

Communications with the Board

The following procedures have been established by the Board to facilitate communications between our stockholders and the Board:

Stockholders and any interested parties may send correspondence to the Board or to any individual director, by mail to: Corporate Secretary, Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc., 1668 S. Garfield Avenue, 2nd Floor, Alhambra, California 91801, or by email to: investors@apollomed.net.

Communications will be distributed to the Board, or to any individual director or group of directors as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communications.

Items that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board may be excluded, such as:
junk mail and mass mailings
resumes and other forms of job inquiries
surveys
solicitations or advertisements.

In addition, any material that is unduly hostile, threatening, or illegal in nature may be excluded, provided that any communication that is filtered out will be made available to the Board or any director upon request.

Board Committees

The Board has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which comprised solely of independent directors. The composition, functions, and responsibilities of each committee are summarized below.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on our website at https://apollomed.net/corporate-governance. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Mitchell Kitayama (chairman), Mark Fawcett, and John Chiang. The Board has determined that all members of the Compensation Committee qualify as “independent” directors as defined under NASDAQ listing rules, as a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3) under the Exchange Act and as an “outside director” as defined in Treasury Regulation 26 CFR § 1.162-27, implementing Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and currently in effect. The Compensation Committee acted by written consent once during 2021.

The Compensation Committee establishes the compensation and benefits of our executive officers and makes recommendations to the Board regarding director compensation, including for membership on any committee of the Board. The Compensation Committee also administers our compensation plans, including our equity incentive plans.

In establishing executive and director compensation, the Compensation Committee seeks to provide compensation that is competitive in light of current market conditions and industry practices. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee will generally review market data from peer companies and information from nationally recognized published surveys, adjusted for size. The Compensation Committee then considers other factors, such as each executive officer’s individual expertise, experience, and performance, any retention concerns and relevant compensation trends in the marketplace, in making its final compensation determinations. The Compensation Committee has the authority to directly retain the services of independent consultants and other experts to assist in fulfilling its responsibilities. While members of our human resources and finance departments support the Compensation Committee in its work, our executive officers, in general, are not involved in determining the amount or form of executive and director compensation, but may from time to time make recommendations and provide feedback to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of each executive officer in light of the above factors and determines whether the executive officer should receive any increase in base salary, annual bonus award, or discretionary equity award based on such evaluation.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on our website at https://apollomed.net/corporate-governance. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Mitchell Kitayama (chairman), David Schmidt, and Ernest Bates, M.D. All members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meet the independence requirements of NASDAQ. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee acted by written consent once during 2021. The principal ongoing functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include developing criteria for selecting new directors, establishing and monitoring procedures for the receipt and consideration of director candidates recommended by management, stockholders, and others, considering and examining director candidates, recommending director nominations to the Board, developing corporate governance principles for the Company, overseeing the Company’s compliance with those principles, and establishing monitoring procedures for the receipt of stockholder communications directed to the Board, and periodically evaluating the Board to determine whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies appropriate candidates to serve as directors of the Company, interviews candidates and makes recommendations to the Board regarding director nominations. In considering candidates to serve as directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates them against one or more of the following qualifications: personal integrity, sound judgment, business and professional skills and experience, industry knowledge, financial acumen, and the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers additional factors, including the current composition of the Board, the current strategy and future outlook of the Company, the range of experience and skills that would best complement those already represented on the Board and the need for specialized expertise. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers issues of diversity in identifying and recommending director nominees to the Board, and strives to achieve a balance of backgrounds and perspectives on the Board and its committees.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers potential candidates recommended by stockholders, directors, officers, advisors, third-party search firms, or other appropriate sources. In selecting candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account all factors it deems relevant, such as a candidate’s knowledge, experience, background, independence, possible conflicts of interest, and concerns for the long-term interests of our stockholders. Persons
16


recommended by stockholders are generally considered on the same basis as candidates from other sources. If a stockholder wishes to propose a director candidate for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the stockholder must follow the procedures and comply with the requirements described in “Stockholder Proposals” at the end of this proxy statement.

In recommending to the Board the 11 director nominees for election at the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered the factors described above, as well as each nominee’s previous service on the Board, which the committee believes provides a desirable level of continuity and institutional knowledge with respect to the Board’s deliberations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considered specific qualifications, attributes, and skills that each nominee possesses and contributes to the Board as identified under the respective nominee’s biography in “Background of Directors” below.

Board Diversity

PROPOSAL 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are asking stockholders to approve an advisory resolution on the compensation of our named executive officers as reported in this proxy statement, commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay” vote. Although the say-on-pay vote is advisory and therefore non-binding on us, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation program. As described below in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement, the Compensation Committee has structured our executive compensation program to achieve the following key objectives:

Attract and retain highly qualified and productive executives.

Motivate executives to enhance our overall performance and profitability through the successful execution of the Company’s short-term and long-term business strategies, with an emphasis on the long term.

Align the long-term interests of our executives and stockholders through ownership of the Company’s common stock by executives and by rewarding stockholder value creation.
24



Ensure that compensation opportunities are competitive.

We encourage stockholders to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement, which provides an overview of our executive compensation policies and procedures. The Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narrative provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the policies and procedures articulated in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of the named executive officers reported in this proxy statement has contributed to our success.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2022 Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the Executive Compensation section of this proxy statement and the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative in this proxy statement.”

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on our company, our Board, or our Compensation Committee. The outcome of this advisory vote does not overrule any decision by us or our Board (or any committee thereof), create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of the company or our Board (or any committee thereof), or create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for the company or our Board (or any committee thereof). However, our Compensation Committee and Board value the opinions to be expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM FOR OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT AS SET FORTH IN THIS PROPOSAL 3.






PROPOSAL 4

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Section 14A of the Exchange Act provides for stockholders to vote on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation for our named executive officers should be held every year, every two years, or every three years. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-frequency” proposal, gives stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our how often future advisory votes should be held regarding named executive officers’ compensation.

Our Board believes that the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation program for our named executive officers should be conducted once every three years, for the following reasons:

An advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every three years will provide our stockholders with sufficient time to evaluate the effectiveness of our overall compensation philosophy, policies, and practices in the context of our long-term business results, while avoiding over-emphasis on short-term variations in compensation and business results.

We emphasize long-term performance in the design of our executive compensation program, including the multi-year employment agreements we have with our named executive officers and equity incentive grants, because by doing so our
25


compensation structure is more closely aligned with the long-term strategic plan for the company and the interests of our stockholders.

We believe that compensation decisions, company performance and potential increases in stockholder value should be evaluated over a long-term horizon, rather than simply on a year-to-year, short-term basis.

The proxy card provides stockholders with the opportunity to choose from among four options, holding the vote every one year, two years, three years, or abstaining from voting and, therefore, stockholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Board. The Board will consider the frequency that receives the highest number of votes to be the frequency selected by our stockholders, regardless of whether that frequency receives a majority of the votes cast.

This vote is advisory, which means that the vote is not binding on the Company or the Board. Because this vote is advisory and not binding in any way, the Board may decide that it is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option selected by our stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE ALTERNATIVE OF ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS AS THE PREFERRED FREQUENCY FOR FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FOR OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. PROPERLY SUBMITTED PROXIES WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS THE STOCKHOLDER SPECIFIES OTHERWISE.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth in this proxy statement with management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

Compensation Committee

Mitchell W. Kitayama (Chairman)
Mark Fawcett
John Chiang

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains the material elements of the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table below during 2021, who we refer to as our “named executive officers.”

Compensation Program Objectives and Philosophy

The Compensation Committee oversees the design and administration of the compensation program for our executive officers. The Compensation Committee’s primary objectives in structuring and administering our executive officer compensation program are to:
Attract, motivate, and retain talented and dedicated executive officers; and
Reinforce business strategies and objectives for enhanced stockholder value.

To achieve these goals, the Compensation Committee evaluates individual executive performance with a goal of setting compensation at levels the Committee believes are comparable with those of executive officers at other public companies having a similar size and line of business, while taking into account our relative performance and our own strategic goals.

The principal elements of our executive compensation program are base salaries, discretionary cash bonus awards, equity award grants, and other benefits and perquisites. Our benefits and perquisites consist of life, disability, and health insurance benefits and a qualified 401(k) savings plan.

We view these components of compensation as related, but distinct. Although the Compensation Committee reviews total compensation, we do not believe that significant compensation derived from one component of compensation should negate or offset compensation from other components. We determine the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part on compensation paid to executive officers at comparable companies consistent with our recruiting and retention goals, our view of internal equity and consistency, the results of its most recent stockholder advisory vote, and other considerations we deem relevant, such as rewarding extraordinary performance.

Determination of Compensation Awards

The Compensation Committee typically performs an annual strategic review of our executive officers’ compensation to determine whether such compensation provides adequate incentives and motivation to our executive officers and whether it adequately compensates our executive officers relative to comparable officers in other similarly situated companies.

For compensation decisions relating to executive officers other than our Co-Chief Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee considers recommendations from our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Executive Chairman. When determining
27


compensation for our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Executive Chairman, the Compensation Committee considers such factors as competitive industry salaries, an assessment of each Co-Chief Executive Officer’s and the Executive Chairman’s contributions made during the preceding year, and his respective industry expertise.

Review of Compensation Surveys

The Compensation Committee believes that it is important when making its compensation-related decisions to be informed as to the current practices of similarly situated companies. As a result, the Compensation Committee, from time to time, reviews broad-based third-party surveys and other information collected from public and private sources regarding the compensation for executive officers of comparably sized companies. The Compensation Committee considers the information in these surveys in connection with establishing the base salaries, performance-compensation awards, equity awards, and other benefits and perquisites for our named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee does not believe that the compensation of our named executive officers should be established solely by reference to the compensation programs of other companies or that the compensation of our named executive officers should be set as a specified percentage of the average compensation that is paid to executive officers of other companies. However, the Compensation Committee believes that collecting and reviewing this compensation survey information is a useful resource in providing information about current compensation practices and in confirming that the Company’s executive compensation program remains competitive.

Role of Compensation Consultant

For 2021, the Company retained Pearl Meyer, as its independent compensation consultant to provide analysis and recommendations that inform the Compensation Committee’s decisions with respect to executive officer compensation, including, among other things, analysis and input on compensation program structure and performance measures and goals. Pearl Meyer did not perform any other services for the Company in 2021. The Company has reviewed the independence of Pearl Meyer under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules and believes that Pearl Meyer does not have any conflicts of interest in advising the Company.

Base Salaries

We provide our named executive officers with base salaries that we believe enable us to hire and retain individuals in a competitive environment and to reward individual performance and contribution to our overall business goals, while taking into account the unique circumstances of the Company. We review base salaries for our named executive officers annually, and increases, if any, are based on our performance and individual performance.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by applicable SEC rules, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation paid to the median employee and the annual total compensation of each of our Co-Chief Executive Officers, Dr. Lam and Mr. Sim.

For 2021, our last completed fiscal year, the median of the annual total worldwide compensation of our employees (other than our Co-Chief Executive Officers) was $41,066. As reported in the Summary Compensation Table, the annual total compensation of Dr. Lam and Mr. Sim was $6,857,194 and $8,856,157, respectively.

Based on this information, for 2021, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Dr. Lam and Mr. Sim to the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than our Co-Chief Executive Officers) was 167 to 1 and 216 to 1, respectively. We took the following steps to identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee and our Co-Chief Executive Officers:

We determined that, during the year ended December 31, 2021, our employee population consisted of 1,404 individuals, excluding our Co-Chief Executive Officers. This population consisted of full-time and part-time employees employed with us during the period.
28


For the annual total compensation of our median employee, we identified and calculated the elements of that employee’s compensation for 2021 in accordance with the standardsrequirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $41,066.
For the annual total compensation of Mr. Sim and Dr. Lam, who were each serving as our Co-Chief Executive Officers on December 31, 2021, we used the amounts reported for 2021 in the “Total” column of the PublicSummary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement.
Annual Cash and Stock-Based Bonus Awards

During each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee evaluates our bonus compensation practices in light of the objectives of the compensation program. As a result of this evaluation, the Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate for our executive officers to be eligible to receive cash and/or stock-based bonus compensation based upon their individual performance during 2021.

Executive Officers’ Benefits and Perquisites

We provide the opportunity for our named executive officers and other executives to receive certain perquisites and general health and welfare benefits and participate in our defined contribution 401(k) plan. We provide these benefits to create additional incentives for our executive officers and to remain competitive in the general marketplace for executive talent.

Hedging Policy

The Company Accounting Oversighthas determined that there is a substantial likelihood for the appearance of improper conduct by Company personnel when they engage in short-term or speculative securities transactions. Therefore, under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, Company personnel are prohibited from engaging in any of the following activities involving the Company’s shares, except with the prior written consent of the Co-Chief Executive Officers, who are the compliance officers responsible for the administration of the policy:

purchasing the Company’s securities on margin;
pledging Company securities;
short sales;
buying or selling puts or calls; and
engaging in options transactions (other than where the options were granted by the Company).

Compensation Risk

Our Compensation Committee reviewed the compensation policies and practices of the Company that could have a material impact on the Company. The Compensation Committee’s review considered whether any of these policies and practices may encourage inappropriate risk-taking, whether any policy or practice may give rise to risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us, and whether it would recommend any changes to the Company’s compensation policies and practices. The Compensation Committee also reviewed risk-mitigating controls with the Board, such as the degree of committee and senior management oversight of each compensation program and the level and design of internal controls over such programs. Based on these reviews, the Company determined that risks arising from its compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following tables set forth information, as of April 28, 2022 regarding the beneficial ownership of each class of our outstanding equity securities by:
each person whom we know beneficially owns more than 5% of any class of our outstanding securities;
each of our directors and nominees for the board of directors;
each named executive officer listed in the Summary Compensation Table below; and
all of our directors and executive officers, including named executive officers, as a group.

As a result of a business combination between Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. and NMM in December 2017, NMM became, and is, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to instructions to Item 403 of Regulation S-K, all shares of our Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock, which are currently held by NMM, are excluded from our outstanding securities. Therefore, only one class of our equity securities, our common stock, is outstanding as of April 28, 2022. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.
