2022 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS AND STRATEGIC OUTLOOK During 2022, management and the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) took a number of transformational steps aimed at repositioning the Company for long-term success and profitable growth. Following our September 2022 entry into a cooperation agreement with our largest stockholder, these changes included a leadership transition, refreshment of our Board and enhanced corporate governance practices. We also strengthened our management team during 2022 and successfully divested three non-core businesses — PrescribeWellness, DoseMe and Sinfonía — by early 2023. We believe that these steps will help pave the way for the Company to refocus its vision and better deliver consistent execution of our financial and strategic objectives. | |

STOCKHOLDER OUTREACH AND SAY-ON-PAY VOTE At the 2022 Annual Meeting, we asked our stockholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting. Approximately 25% of the votes cast were in favor of the non-binding advisory, or “say-on-pay,” vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers at the 2022 Annual Meeting. On September 13, 2022, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with our largest stockholder, Indaba Capital Management, L.P. (“Indaba”). In entering into the Cooperation Agreement, the Company agreed to significant changes to our corporate governance structure, including immediate changes to Board and management composition. Additionally, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of our executive compensation program to align with our change in leadership and overall governance changes. Changes to our 2023 executive compensation program include increasing the weighting of performance share units (“PSUs”) from 50% of total long-term incentive compensation to 75% of long-term incentive compensation. We believe that these changes will serve to strengthen the relationship between the Company and its stockholders. We believe that investor outreach is key to our commitment to engagement, communication, and transparency with our stockholders. We welcome stockholder feedback with respect to our executive compensation programs. Please see the section entitled “Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors” for information on how to contact the Compensation Committee or the full Board.

Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed “non-routine.” Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares.

Under the rules and interpretations of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), “non-routine” matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders, such as mergers, stockholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested) and executive compensation, including the advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation and on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
In an effort to drive greater future internal efficiencies and increased client satisfaction, we are engaging in a number of initiatives including: •
increased automation and expansion of our pharmacy lab facilities to gain scale and support future demand; •
alignment of our operations with the new leadership structure to focus on strategic priorities and gain organizational economies of scale; and •
commercialization of our significant body of research and development, which demonstrates the improved outcomes achievable with the use of our proprietary technology-enabled solutions. These actions and additional ongoing efforts give us confidence in our plans to sharpen our focus and provide a foundation for sustainable and profitable growth. STOCKHOLDER OUTREACH AND SAY-ON-PAY VOTE At the 2022 Annual Meeting, we asked our stockholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers areas disclosed in the onlyproxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting. Approximately 25% of the votes cast were in favor of the non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers at the 2022 Annual Meeting. In entering into the Cooperation Agreement, the Company agreed to significant changes to our corporate governance structure, including changes to Board and management composition. In 2022 and 2023, the Compensation Committee conducted a comprehensive review of our executive compensation program to align with our change in leadership and overall governance changes. Changes to our 2023 executive compensation program include increasing the weighting of PSUs from 50% of total long-term incentive compensation to 75% of long-term incentive compensation. We believe that these changes will serve to strengthen the relationship between the Company and its stockholders. The Compensation Committee intends to continue to monitor stockholder concerns, including the results of the annual non-binding advisory votes to approve the compensation of the named executive officers, in making future decisions affecting the compensation of the named executive officers. 2022 COMPENSATION DECISIONS In 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the following changes to the executive compensation program: •
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. The Compensation Committee determined to add adjusted free cash flow(1) as an additional metric for purposes of the Company’s annual incentive plan, so that performance will be equally weighted between revenue (50%) and adjusted free cash flow (50%). The Compensation Committee selected this measure as we believe a focus on strong cash generation will enable us to invest in future growth, provide returns to stockholders, and remain financially strong. •
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS. The Compensation Committee increased the weighting of PSUs so that PSUs represented a more meaningful portion of our named executive officers’ long-term incentive compensation program. For 2022, PSUs represented 50% of named executive officers’ total compensation mix in the long-term incentive compensation plan. The Compensation Committee believes that this emphasis on PSUs will further the Company’s focus on pay-for-performance and align our named executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders, helping to drive long-term financial performance. •
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES. In February 2022, Mr. Thomas Cancro was appointed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. In September 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, Dr. Calvin H. Knowlton and Dr. Orsula V. Knowlton resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Co-President and Chief Marketing & New Business Development Officer of the Company, respectively, and Mr. Brian Adams was appointed as the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer.

DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION ROLE OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE Our executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee, which approves named executive officer compensation annually. The Compensation Committee annually conducts a quantitative and qualitative review of each named executive officer’s achievement of corporate and individual performance goals (as described further below in the section entitled “Elements“Elements of Compensation––Compensation — Short-Term Incentive Compensation”Compensation”). The Compensation Committee also assesses each named executive officer’s overall contributions to Company performance and the degree to which each named executive officer’s target compensation is competitive with the market and aligned with the Company’s overall compensation philosophy.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Grant date fair values are determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Mr. Cancro did not receive a 2022 PSU grant. The total long-term incentive award value for each named executive officer, other than Mr. Cancro, was determined based on input frombenchmarking analysis provided by our compensation consultant based on a review offor executives with similar roles at companies withwithin our peer group. The total long-term incentive award value for Mr. Cancro for 2022 was based on the terms of his offer letter dated February 2, 2022. OTHER BENEFITS EXECUTIVE LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM We provide an executive life insurance program in which our named executive officers participate. This program provides a death benefit to the named executive officer’s beneficiary in an amount equal to $1.5 million and $0.5 million for Messrs. Adams and Greenhalgh, respectively. Mr. Cancro did not participate in the executive life insurance program in 2022. PERQUISITES We did not provide any excessive perquisites to any of the Current NEOs during 2022. During 2022, we paid country club and social club dues for Dr. Calvin Knowlton and relocation costs for Mr. Cancro. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical and dental insurance, vision insurance, a medical and dental opt-out program, 401(k), group life insurance, and short- and long-term disability insurance, in each case on the same basis as other employees, subject to applicable laws. We also provide vacation and other paid holidays to all employees, including our named executive officers. The Current NEOs participate in our peer group, and were targeted at approximatelymedical insurance benefits on the 75th percentile of the market median. same basis as other employees. CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AGREEMENTS The Compensation Committee believed that targeting at this level was appropriate given the Company’s performance as comparedCompany is party to its peer group.Compensation Agreements
Employment Agreements
In 2018, the Company discontinued individualized employment agreements and entered into form change-in-control and severance agreements, which we refer to as the CIC Agreements, with our named executive officers, which included form definitions, terms and restrictions. With the Company’s growth, the administration of the various employment contracts became challenging and the Company desired a more consistent approach to executive contracts. As a result, effective January 1, 2018, none of our named executive officers have employment agreements with the Company. Our named executive officers now are party to the change-in-control and severance agreements (the “CIC Agreements”) described below.
Restricted Stock Grant Agreements
On February 24, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to each of the restricted stock grant agreements, each dated September 28, 2016, and as previously amended on June 12, 2017, May 30, 2018 and May 2, 2019, by and between the Company and each of Dr. Calvin Knowlton and Dr. Orsula V. Knowlton. Under these agreements, Dr. Calvin Knowlton and Dr. Orsula Knowlton previously had received grants of restricted stock in the amounts of 337,307 and 267,268 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. Pursuant to these restricted stock grant agreements, as previously amended, all of the unvested shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to such agreements were scheduled to vest in six equal installments at the end of each calendar quarter beginning on June 30, 2019 and ending on September 30, 2020, such that the shares of restricted stock granted under the agreements would have vested in full on September 30, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the amendments, all of the remaining unvested shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the restricted stock grant agreements will now vest on December 1, 2021.
CIC Agreements
On February 26, 2018, we entered into the CIC Agreements with each of our named executive officers. Certain key terms of the CIC Agreements are described below.
Each CIC Agreement has an initial three-year term effective as of January 1, 2018 and will automatically renew for successive one-year periods thereafter unless notice of non-renewal is given 90 days prior to the expiration of the renewal date or they are otherwise terminated pursuant to their terms. The CIC Agreements provide that if the executive is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason and executes (and does not revoke) a release, then he or she will receive, in addition to certain other earned, but unpaid, amounts, (i)
continuation of base salary for the severance term; (ii)
health continuation coverage under COBRA, for the severance term, provided that the executive pays the monthly COBRA costscosts; and any benefits will be reduced or eliminated if the executive becomes entitled to duplicative coverage; and (iii)
reimbursement for the reasonable costs of outplacement services incurred (up to a specified maximum) within the outplacement benefit term. The other Other earned, but unpaid, amounts consist of any unpaid base salary, other accrued amounts, and, for a termination other than for cause at least six months following the commencement of the applicable performance period, a prorated bonus for such performance period based on the portion of the performance period prior to the executive’s termination of employment that is calculated based on the target bonus amount. If the executive dies, then the executive’s estate will receive in addition to other earned, but unpaid, amounts, a lump sum payment of the executive’s base salary for the severance term and all outstanding equity grants will become fully vested and exercisable. If the executive’s employment is terminated due to disability, then the executive will only be entitled to any amounts earned, but unpaid.
Additionally, the CIC Agreements provide that in addition to the above severance benefits, if the executive’s employment is terminated without cause or by the executive for good reason within 90 days prior to a change in | | Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | | | | 45 | |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
control, provided that a change in control actually occurs, or within two years after the change in control, then all of the executive’s outstanding equity will become fully vested and exercisable.
Each CIC Agreement includes an appendix that sets forth the applicable material terms for each executive, including the following terms:| | | Dr. Calvin Knowlton | | Dr. Orsula Knowlton | | Brian Adams | | | Base Salary | | $550,000 | | $450,000 | | $400,000 | | | Target Incentive Bonus | | 100% of Base Salary | | 75% of Base Salary | | 60% of Base Salary | | | Severance Term | | 24 months | | 24 months | | 18 months | |
severance terms, which applied to our Current NEOs as of December 31, 2022: | | Name | | | Base Salary

(as a % of Base Salary) | | | Severance Term | | | | Brian Adams | | | | | 450,000 | | | | | | 75% | | | | 24 months | | | | Thomas Cancro | | | | | 375,000 | | | | | | 50% | | | | 12 months | | | | Michael Greenhalgh | | | | | 412,000 | | | | | | 60% | | | | 12 months | |
The CIC Agreements contain restrictive covenants pursuant to which the executives have agreed to refrain from competing with us or soliciting our employees or customers for a period following the executive’s termination of employment. The restrictive covenants apply for the duration of the applicable severance term.
Payments and benefits under the CIC Agreements are reduced to the maximum amount that does not trigger the excise tax under Code sections 280G and 4999 unless the executive would be better off, on an after-tax basis, had the executive received all payments and benefits and paid all applicable excise and income taxes. Change
KNOWLTON SEPARATION AGREEMENTS In connection with the Company’s entry into the Cooperation Agreement, on September 13, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into executive transition and separation agreements with each of ControlDr. Calvin Knowlton and Dr. Orsula Knowlton (the “Separation Agreements”), pursuant to which the Drs. Knowlton were entitled to receive: •
Continuation of their respective base salaries ($566,500 in the case of Dr. Calvin Knowlton and $463,500 in the case of Dr. Orsula Knowlton) in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices for 18 months following the Effective Date; •
Continued health coverage under the Company’s health plan under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act for 18 months following the Effective Date; and •
Reimbursement for reasonable fees and costs incurred for outplacement services during the 12 months following the Effective Date, up to a maximum of $25,000. Additionally, 424,707 of Dr. C. Knowlton’s unvested shares of restricted stock and 301,542 of Dr. O. Knowlton’s unvested shares of restricted stock were accelerated and vested as of the Effective Date. All other restricted stock awards, including all performance stock unit awards, that were held by Dr. C. Knowlton and Dr. O. Knowlton and remained unvested as of the Effective Date terminated and were cancelled. Also on the Effective Date, the Company entered into consulting services agreements with each of Dr. Calvin Knowlton and Dr. Orsula Knowlton (the “Consulting Agreements”), pursuant to which Dr. Calvin Knowlton and Dr. Orsula Knowlton each have agreed to provide certain consulting and advisory services to the Company during the Consulting Term (as defined below), including assisting with the transition of key client relationships and strategic business partners and prospects. In exchange for rendering such services, Dr. Calvin Knowlton and Dr. Orsula were be paid an hourly rate of $265 and $216, respectively, over the Consulting Term. The “Consulting Term” began on the Effective Date and automatically terminated on December 31, 2022. The Company incurred and paid $1,325 and $1,944 for consulting services provided by Dr. C. Knowlton and Dr. O. Knowlton, respectively. For additional information, please refer to the section below entitled “Payments Upon Termination.” RISK MITIGATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES HEDGING AND PLEDGING POLICIES The Company’s insider trading policy prohibits named executive officers from the hedging and pledging of securities. For additional information, please see the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Hedging and Pledging Policies.” STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES In February 2020, the Compensation Committee approved stock ownership guidelines for our named executive officers and directors. With respect to the Current NEOs, Mr. Adams is required to hold Company common stock in | | 46 | | | | Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
an amount equal to five times his base salary, and Messrs. Cancro and Greenhalgh are required to hold Company common stock in an amount equal to three times their base salaries. All participants must comply with the ownership requirements within five years from the later of date of policy adoption or the date of being deemed a participant, and the shares held by participants must be shares owned outright (including unvested RSAs but excluding unvested PSUs), owned via individual purchase, vest or exercise. As of March 1, 2023, all of our Current NEOs complied with the stock ownership requirements, as discussed in the section titled “Stock Ownership Guidelines for Non-Employee Directors” above. CLAWBACK POLICY In February 2021, the Compensation Committee approved the Compensation Recoupment Policy (the “Recoupment Policy”) to enhance our corporate governance practices. The Recoupment Policy applies to all Company officers (as defined under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act). In the event of a financial restatement caused by the Company’s material noncompliance with applicable financial reporting requirements, our Board will investigate any possible misconduct by officers who contributed to the financial restatement and all incentive-based compensation (cash bonuses and performance-based equity awards) for the preceding three fiscal years. The Board, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by applicable law, may require that an officer repay the difference between the amount of his or her incentive-based compensation that would have been paid based on proper reporting of the financial results and the amounts actually received by the officer. The Company currently is evaluating the recently-proposed Nasdaq rules relating to clawbacks and will revise the Recoupment Policy, as needed, after such rules are finalized and approved by the SEC. TAX IMPLICATIONS While the Compensation Committee considers tax deductibility as one factor in determining executive compensation, it also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if the awards are not deductible by us for tax purposes. | | | | | Compensation Committee Report | |

Amounts shown for 2022 include a $50,000 discretionary bonus provided to Michael Greenhalgh for his leadership during a time of significant organizational changes at the executive level during 2022. (2)
Amounts shown for 2022 include RSAs and PSUs granted under the Equity Plan, as discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, above. Amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL TABLES Except as otherwise provided, the following narrative and tables set forth the potential payments and the value of other benefits that would vest or otherwise accelerate vesting at, following, or in connection with any termination, including, without limitation: •
resignation, •
incapacity retirement or a constructive termination of a named executive officer, or a “change in control” of the Company, or •
a change in the named executive officer’s responsibilities, as such scenarios are contemplated in the contracts, agreements, plans, or arrangements described below. For each Current NEO, the payments and benefits detailed in the tables below are in addition to any payments and benefits under our plans and arrangements that are offered or provided generally to all salaried employees on a non-discriminatory basis and any accumulated vested benefits for each named executive officer, including any stock options vested as of December 31, 2022 (which are set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table — 2022). The tables assume that employment termination and/or the change in control occurred on December 31, 2022 and a valuation of our common stock based on its closing market price per share on December 30, 2022 (the last trading day of 2022) of $4.95 per share. The tables also assume that each executive will take all action necessary or appropriate for such person to receive the maximum available benefit, such as execution of a release of claims and compliance with restrictive covenants described above. A description of some elements of the plans, arrangements, and agreements covered by the following tables and which provide for payments or benefits in connection with a termination of employment or change in control are also described under “CD&A” above. The footnotes to the tables describe the assumptions that were used in calculating the amounts described below. | | Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | | | | 51 | |

All amounts described are based upon a termination without “Cause” or a resignation for “Good Reason” in connection with a change in control, pursuant to the terms of the CIC Agreements. Each named executive officer is also entitled to the same cash severance, benefit continuation and outplacement service amounts upon a termination without Cause or a resignation for Good Reason absent a Change in Control, provided that in the event of termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason, the cash severance amount is payable in installments over the applicable severance period. (2)
The benefit continuation amount assumes an estimated COBRA continuation cost of $2,000 a month. (3)
The equity awards column amount is based on the full value of all restricted stock and performance stock unit awards (at target level). All unvested stock options are underwater and therefore no value was attributable to unvested stock options. CHANGE OF CONTROL UNDER THE EQUITY PLAN Under the 2016 Equity Compensation Plan, if we experience a change of control where we are not the surviving corporation, or survive only as a subsidiary of another corporation, unless the committee determines otherwise, all outstanding grants that are not exercised or paid at the time of the change of control will be assumed by, or replaced with grants that have comparable terms by, the surviving corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation. The “committee” for purposes of the 2016 Equity Compensation Plan is the Compensation Committee or other committee appointed by the Board to administer the 2016 Equity Compensation Plan. Unless a grant instrument provides otherwise, if a participant’s employment is terminated by the surviving corporation without cause upon or within 12 months following a change of control, the participant’s outstanding grants will fully vest as of the date of termination; provided, that if the vesting of any grants is based, in whole or in part, on performance, the applicable grant instrument will specify how the portion of the grant that becomes vested upon a termination following a change of control will be calculated.
If there is a change of control and all outstanding grants are not assumed by, or replaced with grants that have comparable terms by, the surviving corporation, the committee may take any of the following action without the consent of any participant: | ● | determine that outstanding options and stock appreciation rights will accelerate and become fully exercisable and the restrictions and conditions on outstanding stock awards, stock units, cash awards and dividend equivalents immediately lapse; |
| ● | pay participants, in an amount and form determined by the committee, in settlement of outstanding stock units, cash awards or dividend equivalents; |
| ● | require that participants surrender their outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights or any other exercisable grant, in exchange for a payment by us, in cash or shares of our common stock, equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock; provided, however, if the per share fair market value of the common stock does not exceed the per share stock option exercise price or stock appreciation right base amount, as applicable, we will not be required to make any payment to the participant upon surrender of the stock option or stock appreciation right; or |
| ● | after giving participants an opportunity to exercise all of their outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights, terminate any unexercised stock options and stock appreciation rights on the date determined by the committee. |
•
determine that outstanding options and stock appreciation rights will accelerate and become fully exercisable and the restrictions and conditions on outstanding stock awards, stock units, cash awards, and dividend equivalents immediately lapse; •

require that participants surrender their outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights or any other exercisable grant, in exchange for a payment by us, in cash or shares of our common stock, equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock; provided, however, if the per share fair market value of the common stock does not exceed the per share stock option exercise price or stock appreciation right base amount, as applicable, we will not be required to make any payment to the participant upon surrender of the stock option or stock appreciation right; or •
after giving participants an opportunity to exercise all of their outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights, terminate any unexercised stock options and stock appreciation rights on the date determined by the committee. In general terms, a change of control under the 2016 Equity Compensation Plan occurs if: | ● | a person, entity or affiliated group, with certain exceptions, acquires more than 50% of our then outstanding voting securities; |
| ● | we merge into another entity unless the holders of our voting shares immediately prior to the merger have at least 50% of the combined voting power of the securities in the merged entity or its parent; |
| ● | we merge into another entity and the members of our Board prior to the merger would not constitute a majority of the board of the merged entity or its parent; |
| ● | •
a person, entity, or affiliated group, with certain exceptions, acquires more than 50% of our then outstanding voting securities; •
we merge into another entity unless the holders of our voting shares immediately prior to the merger have at least 50% of the combined voting power of the securities in the merged entity or its parent; •
we merge into another entity and the members of our Board prior to the merger would not constitute a majority of the board of the merged entity or its parent; •
we sell or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; |
| ● | our stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution; or |
| ● | a majority of the members of our Board is replaced during any 12-month period or less by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the incumbent directors. |

Stock Ownership Guidelines
In February 2020, the Compensation Committee approvedrestricted stock ownership guidelines for our named executive officers and directors. Drs. Calvin and Orsula Knowlton are required to hold the Company commonawards, including all performance stock in an amount of five times their base salaries, and Mr. Brian Adams is required to hold three times his base salary in the Company common stock. All participants must comply with the ownership requirements within five years from the later of date of policy adoption or the date of being deemed a participant, and the sharesunit awards, held by participants must be shares owned outrightDr. C. Knowlton and the shares held by participants must be vested in-the-money unexercised stock options, owned via individual purchase, vest or exercise.
Clawback Policy
In February 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the Compensation Recoupment Policy (the “Recoupment Policy”) to enhance our corporate governance practices. The Recoupment Policy applies to any officers (as defined under Section 16(a)Dr. O. Knowlton that remained unvested as of the Exchange Act). In the eventEffective Date terminated and were cancelled.
The Separation Agreements also included certain mutual releases and customary non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, proprietary information, invention assignment, and return of a financial restatement caused by the Company’s material noncompliance with applicable financial reporting requirements, our Board will investigate any possible misconduct by officers that contributed to the financial restatement and all incentive-based compensation (cash bonuses and performance-based equity awards) for the preceding three fiscal years. The Board, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by applicable law, may require that an officer repay the difference between the amount of his or her incentive-based compensation that would have been paid based on proper reporting of the financial results and the amounts actually received by the officer.Policies Prohibiting Hedging, Pledging, Margining and Short Selling
Our insider trading policy, as currently in effect, prohibits all officers (including our NEOs), directors and employees from engaging in any transaction designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value or the full ownership risks and rewards of direct and indirect ownership of our stock. Under our insider trading policy, no officer, director or employee may purchase financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds, or otherwise engage in transactions that hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our stock.
Our insider trading policy also prohibits our officers, directors, employees, advisory board members, agents and consultants from engaging in speculative or short-term trading, including the sale of securities that are not currently owned by the seller, commonly referred to as short sales, transactions in put or call options, margin trading or other inherently speculative transactions with respect to our stock.
Our insider trading policy requires that all pledging transactions be approved in advance by our General Counsel. Our General Counsel typically will only approve a proposed transaction where the individual clearly demonstrates a financial capacity to repay the loan with resorting to the pledged securities.
Tax Implications
While the Compensation Committee considers tax deductibility as one factor in determining executive compensation, it also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if the awards are not deductible by us for tax purposes.
Stockholder Outreach and Say-on-Pay Vote
At the 2019 Annual Meeting, we asked our stockholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory, the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting. Approximately 89% of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) were castproperty provisions in favor of the non-binding advisory voteCompany. Each of Dr. C. Knowlton and Dr. O. Knowlton agreed to approverelease the compensationCompany, each of its affiliated entities, and their respective current and former affiliates from any and all claims, liabilities, and obligations, both known and unknown, arising from or related to events, acts, or omissions occurring prior to or on the Effective Date, and the Company has agreed to release each of Dr. C. Knowlton and Dr. O. Knowlton from certain claims, liabilities, and obligations as set forth in the Separation Agreements. Under the non-competition provisions, each of Dr. C. Knowlton and Dr. O. Knowlton agreed that, without the prior written consent of the named executive officers atCompany, for a period of three (3) years, they will not: (i) directly or indirectly engage in, represent in any way, be connected with, or otherwise render any services to any Competing Business (as defined therein) competing with the 2019 Annual Meeting. The Compensation Committee believes this indicates that our stockholders strongly support the philosophy, strategy, and objectives of our executive compensation programs. After considering this result and following our annual review of our executive compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee decided to retain our overall approach to executive compensation. The Compensation Committee intends to continue to monitor stockholder concerns, including the resultsbusiness of the annual non-binding advisory votes to approveCompany or subsidiary or affiliate thereof in the compensationUnited States; or (ii) assist others in engaging in any Competing Business in the manner described in clause (i) above. Additionally, each of Dr. C. Knowlton and Dr. O. Knowlton agreed that, for a period of three (3) years, they will not directly or indirectly: (i) induce or solicit any employees of the named executive officers,Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof to terminate their employment with the Company or any such subsidiary or affiliate or to engage in making future decisions affecting the compensationany Competing Business; (ii) hire any employee of the named executive officers.
We believe that investor outreach is key to our commitment to engagement, communication, and transparency with our stockholders. We welcome stockholder feedback with respect to our executive compensation programs. Please see the section entitled “Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors” for information on how to contact the Compensation CommitteeCompany or the full Board.

CEO Pay Ratio
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Dr. Calvin Knowlton, our Chief Executive Officer. We consider the pay ratio specified herein to be a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner intended to be consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. We believe executive pay must be internally consistent and equitable to motivate our employees to create stockholder value. We are committed to internal pay equity, and our Compensation Committee monitors the relationship between the pay our executive officers receive and the pay our non-managerial employees receive.
Dr. Calvin Knowlton had 2019 annual total compensation of $5,135,730 as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement. Our median employee's annual total compensation for 2019 was $66,709, as determined in the same manner as the total compensation for Dr. Calvin Knowlton. Based on this information, for 2019, the estimated ratio of the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (other than our CEO) to the annual compensation of our CEO was 1 to 77.
To identify the median employee from our employee population, we determined the annual total compensation, a consistently applied measure of compensation paid across our entire employee base, of each of our employees as of December 31, 2019 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K. We considered all Company employees, except that, in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we excluded all non-U.S. employees, which represented less than 5% of our U.S. employee population.
Compensation Risk Assessment
Management has conducted a risk assessment of our compensation plans and practices and concluded that our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The objective of the assessment was to identify any compensation plans or practices that may encourage employees to take unnecessary risks that could threaten the Company. No such plans or practices were identified by management. The Compensation Committee has also reviewed the risks and rewards associated with our compensation plans and practices and agrees with management’s conclusion. Limitation Accordingly, there were no material

adjustments made to our compensation policies and practices. We will continue to monitor our compensation policies and practices to determine whether our risk management objectives are being met with respect to incentivizing the Company’s employees. HEDGING AND PLEDGING POLICIES Our insider trading policy, as currently in effect, prohibits all officers (including our named executive officers), non-employee directors, and employees from engaging in any transaction designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value or the full ownership risks and rewards of Liabilitydirect and Indemnificationindirect ownership of our stock. Under our insider trading policy, no officer, non-employee director, or employee may purchase financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engage in transactions that hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our stock. Our amendedinsider trading policy also prohibits our officers, non-employee directors, employees, advisory board members, agents, and restated certificateconsultants (collectively, “TRHC Team Members”) from engaging in speculative or short-term trading, including the sale of incorporation limitssecurities that are not currently owned by the personal liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary dutyseller, commonly referred to as short sales, transactions in put or call options, margin trading or other inherently speculative transactions with respect to our stock. The insider trading policy prohibits all TRHC Team Members from engaging in any pledging transactions, except in unusual circumstances and depending on approval by the Board or the Compensation Committee. Such approval typically will depend on the TRHC team member’s clearly demonstrated financial capacity to repay the loan without resorting to the maximum extent permittedpledged securities. | | 54 | | | | Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | |
As required by Section 953(b) of the Delaware General Corporation LawDodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and provides that no director will have personal liabilityConsumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Brian Adams, our Chief Executive Officer. We consider the pay ratio specified herein to us orbe a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner intended to our stockholders for monetary damages for any breachbe consistent with Item 402(u) of fiduciary duty orRegulation S-K. In making this pay ratio disclosure, other dutycompanies may use assumptions, estimates, and methodologies different than ours; as a director. However, these provisions doresult, the following information may not eliminatebe directly comparable to the information provided by other companies in our peer group or limitotherwise. We believe executive pay must be internally consistent and equitable to motivate our employees to create stockholder value. We are committed to internal pay equity, and our Compensation Committee monitors the liabilityrelationship between the pay our executive officers receive and the pay our non-managerial employees receive. Mr. Adams had 2022 annual total compensation of any$2,301,712 as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement. Using a determination date of December 31, 2022, our median employee’s annual total compensation for 2022 was $74,075, as determined in the same manner as the total compensation for Mr. Adams. Based on this information, for 2022, the estimated ratio of the median of the annual total compensation of all of our directors: | ● | for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; |
| ● | for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| ● | for voting or assenting to unlawful payments of dividends, stock repurchases or other distributions; or |
| ● | for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Any amendmentemployees (other than our CEO) to or repeal of these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to such amendment or repeal. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liabilityannual compensation of our directors will be further limitedCEO was approximately 1 to 31.1.
During 2022, the greatest extent permitted bydivestiture of a non-core business had an impact on our employee population. Accordingly, we changed our median employee from 2021. To identify the Delaware General Corporation Law.In addition,median employee from our amended and restated certificateemployee population, we determined the annual total compensation, a consistently applied measure of incorporation provides that we must indemnifycompensation paid across our directors and officers and we must advance expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to our directors and officers in connection with legal proceedings, subject to very limited exceptions.
In addition to the indemnification required in our amended and restated certificateentire employee base, of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, we entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors,employees as of the measurement date, December 31, 2022, in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K. We considered all Company employees, except that, in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we excluded all non-U.S. employees, which represented less than 5% of our U.S. employee population.

These agreements providefinancial performance measures for the indemnification offiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. In determining the CAP to our directors, officersPEO(s) and some employeesthe CAP to our non-PEO NEOs, we are required to make various adjustments to the total compensation amounts that have been reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”), as the SEC’s valuation methods for all reasonable expensesthis section differ from those required in the SCT. Information regarding the methodology for calculating CAP to our PEO(s) and liabilities incurredthe CAP to our non-PEO NEOs, including details regarding the amounts that were deducted from, and added to, the SCT totals to arrive at the values presented for CAP, are provided in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reasonthe footnotes to the table. A narrative discussion of the factrelationship between CAP and the financial performance measures is also presented below. Note that theyfor non-PEO NEOs, compensation is reported as an average.

Policies
Certain Relationships and Procedures for Related PersonParty Transactions
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS To assist the Company in complying with its disclosure obligations and to enhance the Company’s disclosure controls, the Board approved a formal policy in October 2016 regarding related person transactions. A “related person” is a director, officer, nominee for director, or a more than 5% stockholder (of any class of the Company’s Common Stock) since the beginning of the Company’s last completed fiscal year, and their immediate family members. A related person transaction is any transaction or any series of transactions in which the Company was or is to be a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Specifically, the policy establishes a process for identifying related persons and procedures for reviewing and approving such related person transactions. In addition, directors and executive officers are required to complete an annual questionnaire in connection with the Company’s proxy statement for its annual meeting of stockholders, which includes questions regarding related person transactions. Further, the Company’s legal, financial, and other departments have established additional procedures to assist the Company in identifying existing and potential related person transactions and other potential conflict of interest transactions.
Our Audit Committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing and approving all related person transactions, and periodically reassessing any related person transaction entered into by TRHC to ensure continued appropriateness. This responsibility is set forth in our Audit Committee charter. A related party transaction will only be approved if the members of the Audit Committee determine that the transaction is in the best interests of TRHC and its stockholders. If a director is involved in the transaction, he or she will recuse himself or herself from all decisions regarding the transaction. In addition, the Audit Committee will review these transactions under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which governs conflicts of interests, among other matters, and is applicable to our employees, officers and directors.
The Board of Directors also has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for the Company in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, which is publicly available on our website atir.tabularasahealthcare.comunder the section Corporate Governance.Governance. Under the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Company’s employees, officers, and directors are discouraged from entering into any transaction that may cause a conflict of interest for the Company. In addition, they must report any potential conflict of interest, including related person transactions, to their supervisor, an executive officer, or the compliance officer, as defined in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, who then reviews and summarizes the proposed transaction for the Audit Committee. The foregoing policies generally were not in place when the related person transactions disclosed above were approved.

| | | | | Proposal 4—Approval of an Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to Declassify the Board of Directors | |
SUMMARY The Board voted to approve, and to recommend to our stockholders that they approve, an amendment to the Company’s current certificate of incorporation (“Charter”) to declassify our Board and provide for certain related changes, including that directors may be removed by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, with or without cause. BACKGROUND Article V of our Charter currently provides that our Board be divided into three classes of directors: Class I, Class II and Class III, with each Class of directors being elected on a staggered basis to a three-year term. Currently, one Class of directors is nominated at each annual meeting of stockholders, with each director in that Class serving a term expiring at the annual meeting held in the third year following the year of such director’s election. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement between the Company and Indaba, the Company has committed to “declassifying” its Board of Directors, such that — as of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024 — each director nominee will be elected on an annual, rather than a triennial, basis. After considering the advantages and disadvantages of declassification, including the feedback from stockholders and the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, the Board believes it in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to declassify the Board. In connection with and in support of the Cooperation Agreement, the Board unanimously approved, and recommends that the Company’s stockholders approve, the adoption of an amendment to the current Charter to declassify the Board. This proposal also necessitates certain other changes to the Charter. Article V of our Charter currently provides that directors may only be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2∕3% of the voting power of shares of our stock entitled to vote at an election of directors, which is consistent with Delaware law for a classified board. Delaware corporate law, however, does not permit directors of a corporation with an unclassified board to be removed only for cause or by a vote of more than the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Therefore, if this Proposal 4 adopted, the Charter amendment will include changes to provide that, from and after the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024, directors can be removed at any time, with or without cause, by a majority of the voting power of shares of our stock entitled to vote at an election of directors. EFFECT OF THE BOARDPROPOSAL If adopted by at least 66 2∕3% of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, the proposed amendment will (i) eliminate the classified Board of Directors, with the result that each director nominee would stand for election of a one-year term, beginning with the vote to be held at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, (ii) provide for certain changes to the director removal provisions to provide that directors can be removed at any time, with or without cause, by a majority of the voting power of shares of our stock entitled to vote at an election of directors and (iii) provide for certain conforming changes in connection with the foregoing and certain other administrative matters (collectively, the “Declassification Amendment”). The Declassification Amendment is described further below, and is shown in its entirety on Appendix A hereto. | | Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | | | | 67 | |

| | | | | Proposal 5—Approval of an Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to Provide for the Exculpation of Officers as Permitted by Delaware Law | |
SUMMARY The Board voted to approve, and to recommend to our stockholders that they approve, an amendment to the Company’s Charter to permit the exculpation of officers, as is consistent with recent changes to the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). BACKGROUND Article VI of our Charter currently includes “exculpatory provisions” that eliminate our directors’ liability for monetary damages to the fullest extent under applicable law. As a Delaware corporation, the DGCL permits the company to eliminate our directors’ personal liability for monetary damages resulting from a breach of the fiduciary duty of care, subject to exceptions for intentional misconduct or knowing violations of the law. Such “exculpatory provisions” are common amongst large public companies, and they allow us to recruit and retain highly-qualified persons to serve as directors. Under prior Delaware law, the statutory exculpatory provisions could only be extended to directors of corporations. However, effective August 1, 2022, the Delaware legislature amended the DGCL to permit Delaware corporations to extend similar exculpatory protections for officers, subject to the conditions and limitations under Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. The Board believes it in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to provide such exculpatory provisions to the officers of the Company to the extent permitted by the DGCL, as recently amended. In making this determination, the Board considered that the DGCL provision limits exculpation of officers only to claims that do not involve breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction in which the officer derived an improper personal benefit. Further, the statutory exculpation does not extend to derivative claims brought by or in the right of the company. In weighing the potential benefits and drawbacks to stockholders, the Board further considered that officers-like directors-are exposed to a substantial risk of lawsuits that could seek to impose personal monetary liability. The Board believes that these new exculpatory protections recognized by the Delaware legislature will, if adopted, allow us to continue to attract and retain highly qualified executives and enable them to exercise good business judgment and act in the best interests of the stockholders, while minimizing their potential personal liability and reducing distractions arising from frivolous litigation. The Board believes that adopting this officer exculpation provision will offer some measure of protection against such frivolous claims, which in turn will support the company’s ability to attract and retain quality executives and reduce diversion of management attention and resultant waste of corporate resources. EFFECT OF THE PROPOSAL If adopted by at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, the proposed amendment will revise Article VI to provide that liability of both directors and officers for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable, shall be eliminated to the fullest extent possible under applicable law (the “Exculpatory Amendment”). The Exculpatory Amendment is described further below and is shown in its entirety on Appendix A hereto. | | Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | | | | 71 | |
Proposal 5—Approval of an Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to Provide for the Exculpation of Officers as Permitted by Delaware Law TEXT OF THE PROPOSAL The proposed changes to Article VI of the Charter, with deletions indicated by strike-outs and additions indicated by underlining, is as follows: *** VI. A. The liability of the directors and officers for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable, shall be eliminated to the fullest extent under applicable law. If applicable law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VI to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer, as applicable, to the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as so amended. B. To the fullest extent permitted byunder applicable law, the CompanyCorporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the CompanyCorporation (and any other persons to which applicable law permits the CompanyCorporation to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions,the Bylaws, through agreements with such agents or other persons, through the vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by such applicable law.

| | | | | Proposal 6—Approval of an Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to Add a Federal Forum Selection Provision | |
SUMMARY The Board voted to approve, and to recommend to our stockholders that they approve, an amendment to the Company’s Charter to add a federal forum selection provision. BACKGROUND Article VII of our Charter currently provides for an exclusive forum for particular types of stockholder litigation. If adopted, the amendment will add further exclusions to this clause, such that — unless the company consents otherwise in writing, or if otherwise prohibited by law — the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Anyone who acquires or holds any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company will be deemed to consent to these terms. The Board believes it is in the best interest of the company and its stockholders to adopt this exclusive forum provision. In making this determination, the Board considered that establishing the federal district courts of the United States as the sole and exclusive forum for claims arising under the federal Securities Act promotes efficiency by limiting plaintiffs’ forum-shopping in state courts, avoids duplicative claims and their associated defense costs and administrative burdens and ensures the Company is afforded the forum with the judiciary most experienced in efficiently adjudicating such claims. The Board further considered that this exclusive forum provision does permit the company to consent in writing to be sued in an alternative forum. Such exclusive forum provisions are common and prevalent amongst large U.S. public companies, and such companies are increasingly adopting similar provisions in recent years following a favorable U.S. Supreme Court ruling supporting the validity of such provisions. As a result, the Board believes that adopting this exclusive forum provision will provide the Company with some certainty and efficiency with respect to any future claims against the company arising under the Securities Act. EFFECT OF THE PROPOSAL If adopted by at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, the proposed amendment will revise Article VII to provide that, to the extent permitted by law, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act (the “Exclusive Forum Amendment”). The Exclusive Forum Amendment is described further below and is shown in its entirety on Appendix A hereto. TEXT OF THE PROPOSAL The proposed changes to Article VII of the Charter, with deletions indicated by strike-outs and additions indicated by underlining, is as follows: *** VII. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (A) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the CompanyCorporation; (B) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s | | 74 | | | | Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | |
Proposal 6—Approval of an Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to Add a Federal Forum Selection Provision Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders or any claim for aiding and abetting such alleged breach; (C) any action asserting a claim against the CompanyCorporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, thethis Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company(as each may be amended from time to time) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; (D) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Company’sthis Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws; or (E) any other action asserting a claim against the CompanyCorporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine (each, a “Covered Proceeding”). If any action, the subject matter of which is a Covered Proceeding, is filed in a court other than the specified Delaware courts without the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors (a “Foreign Action”), the claiming party will be deemed to have consented to (1) the personal jurisdiction of the specified Delaware courts in connection with any action brought in any such courts to enforce the exclusive forum provision described above and (2) having service of process made upon such claiming party in any such enforcement action by service upon such claiming party’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such claiming party. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the CompanyCorporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article VII. To the extent permitted by law, unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. *** The full text of the proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, including the additional proposed amendments discussed in Proposal 4 and Proposal 5 of this Proxy Statement, is included in [Appendix A] to this Proxy Statement.
