TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF GIGCAPITAL2, INC.:Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting (the “special meeting”)this year’s Annual Meeting of stockholdersStockholders of GigCapital2,UpHealth, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), to be heldon December 5, 2022 at 8:9:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on Monday, March 8, 2021.Time. The special meeting will be held virtually, at https://www.cstproxy.com/gigcapital2/sm2021uphealthinc/2022. At the special meeting, the stockholders will consider and vote upon the following proposal:

1.

To amend (the “Extension Amendment”) the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended by the Certificate of Amendment, dated December 8, 2020, our “charter”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination (as defined below) (the “Extension”) from March 10, 2021 (the date which is 21 months from the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering of our units (the “IPO”)) to June 10, 2021 (the date which is 24 months from the closing date of the IPO) (the “Extended Date”).

The proposal is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL.

In the IPO, the Company issued and sold to the public, units of shares of common stock, warrants and rights. The Company also issued identical units or shares of common stock in a private placement to our Founders (as defined below). Since the IPO, holders of units have been able to break the units into their constituent securities, although not all holders of units have done so.

On November 20, 2020, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with UpHealth Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“UpHealth”), and UpHealth Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“UpHealth Merger Sub”) (such business combination agreement, the “UpHealth BCA,” and such business combination, the “UpHealth Combination”). Also on November 20, 2020, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Cloudbreak Health, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cloudbreak”), Cloudbreak Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cloudbreak Merger Sub”), solely with respect to Section 7.15 thereof, Chirinjeev Kathuria and Mariya Pylypiv (collectively, the “UpHealth Significant Stockholders”) and UpHealth, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Cloudbreak members (such business combination agreement, the “Cloudbreak BCA,” and such business combination, the “Cloudbreak Combination”). The purpose ofmeeting will comprise a discussion and voting on the Extension Amendment is to provide the Company with sufficient time to satisfy the conditions to completion of the UpHealth Combination and the Cloudbreak Combination (such business combinations, the “UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations”) pursuant to the terms of the UpHealth BCA and the Cloudbreak BCA, respectively. The time frame for completing the review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the Company’s previously filed combination prospectus/proxy statement on Form S-4 (the “Combination Proxy Statement”) and holding a stockholder meeting in accordance with Delaware law to seek approval of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations will extend beyond the March 10, 2021 deadline for completing a business combination transaction in the Company’s charter.

The Company’s IPO prospectus and charter originally provided that the Company had until December 10, 2020 (the date which was 18 months after the consummation of the IPO) to complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). On December 8, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that extended the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination transaction from December 10, 2020 to March 10, 2021. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) currently believes

that there will not be sufficient time before March 10, 2021, to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. The purpose of the Extension Amendment is to provide the Company more time to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, which the Board believes are in the best interests of our stockholders.

Among other things, the completion of the proposed UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations is subject to the satisfaction of the conditionsmatters set forth in the UpHealth BCAaccompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and a Proxy Statement, which describe the Cloudbreak BCA, including (i)formal business to be conducted at the Company having an aggregate amountmeeting, accompany this letter. A copy of cash and cash equivalents available from any sources of not less than $150,000,000, (ii) the completion of any required stock exchange and regulatory review, (iii) the approval of the transactions by the Company’s stockholders, UpHealth’s stockholders and Cloudbreak’s stockholders, (iv) UpHealth having consummated certain subsidiary acquisitions, (v) UpHealth having delivered certain financial statementsour Annual Report on Form 10-K is also enclosed for your information.

The matters to the Company and (vi) the receipt by UpHealth and Cloudbreak of any required third-party approvals. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that the proposed transactions will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all. The Board believes that it isacted upon are described in the best interestsNotice of our stockholders to provide the Company more time to consummate the UpHealthAnnual Meeting of Stockholders and Cloudbreak Combinations. The Company intends to hold another stockholders meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations.Proxy Statement.

In connection with the Extension Amendment, if approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to such approval, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares (the “Election”). However, the Company may not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If the Extension Amendment is approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in conjunction with the consummation of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, subject to any limitations set forth in our charter, as amended. In addition, public stockholders who vote for the Extension Amendment and do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by the Extended Date.

The Company estimates that the per-share price at which public shares may be redeemed from cash held in the trust account will be approximately $10.10 at the time of the special meeting. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 11, 2021, was $10.23. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Extension Amendment proposal is not approved and the Company does not consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by March 10, 2021, as contemplated by our charter, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and after setting aside up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our rights or warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

The affirmative vote of 65% of the Company’s outstanding common stock will be required to approve the Extension Amendment.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on February 3, 2021 as the record date for determining the Company’s stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the special meeting or any adjournment thereof.

You are not being asked to vote on the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations at this time. If you are a public stockholder on the record date that will be set forth in the Combination Proxy Statement, you will have the right to vote on the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations (and to exercise your redemption rights, if you so choose) when such proposals are submitted to our stockholders for approval.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the proposal is advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the proposal.

Enclosed is the proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the proposal and the special meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, the Company urgesyour vote is very important and we encourage you to read this material carefullyvote promptly. You may vote by proxy over the Internet, or you can also vote by mail by following the instructions on the paper copy of the proxy card that was mailed to you.

The Company’s IPO prospectus and charter originally provided that the Company had until December 10, 2020 (the date which was 18 months after the consummation of the IPO) to complete a business combination transaction. On December 8, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that extended the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination transaction from December 10, 2020 to March 10, 2021.PROXY STATEMENT

Our board of directors (the “Board”) currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before March 10, 2021, to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. The sole purpose of the Extension Amendment is to provide the Company more time to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, which the Board believes are in the best interests of our stockholders.

Among other things, the completion of the proposed UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the UpHealth BCA and the Cloudbreak BCA, including (i) the Company having an aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents available from any sources of not less than $150,000,000, (ii) the completion of any required stock exchange and regulatory review, (iii) the approval of the transactions by the Company’s stockholders, UpHealth’s stockholders and Cloudbreak’s stockholders, (iv) UpHealth having consummated certain subsidiary acquisitions, (v) UpHealth having delivered certain financial statements to the Company and (vi) the receipt by UpHealth and Cloudbreak of any required third-party approvals. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that the proposed transactions will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to provide the Company with more time to consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. The Company intends to hold another meeting of stockholders prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations.

In connection with the Extension Amendment, if approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to such approval, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares (the “Election”). However, the Company may not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If the Extension Amendment is approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in conjunction with the consummation of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, subject to any limitations set forth in our charter, as amended. In addition, public stockholders who vote for the Extension Amendment and do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by the Extended Date.

The Company estimates that the per-share price at which public shares may be redeemed from cash held in the trust account will be approximately $10.10 at the time of the special meeting. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 11, 2021, was $10.23. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market, even if the market price per

share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Extension Amendment proposal is not approved and the Company does not consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by March 10, 2021, as contemplated by our charter, the Company will (i) cease all

operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and after setting aside up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our rights or warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

The affirmative vote of 65% of the Company’s outstanding common stock will be required to approve the Extension Amendment.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on February 3, 2021 as the record date for determining the Company’s stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the special meeting or any adjournment thereof. On the record date, there were 21,665,119 outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock including 16,670,119 outstanding public shares. The Company’s rights and warrants do not have voting rights in connection with the proposal.

The Company’s sponsor, GigAcquisitions2, LLC, (the “Sponsor”), together with one of its underwriters, EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBird”) and certain affiliates and employees of EarlyBird (the “EarlyBird Group”), and an affiliate of another of its underwriters, Northland Gig 2 Investment LLC, (“Northland Investment”) collectively make up the founders of the Company (the “Founders”). The Company’s Founders and its underwriter that is affiliated with Northland Investment, Northland Securities, Inc. (“Northland”) (collectively, the “initial stockholders”), have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their shares of common stock, including those included in our units issued to such initial stockholders, acquired directly from the Company. As a consequence of such waivers, any liquidating distribution that is made will be only with respect to the public shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Company’s rights or warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

Our Sponsor, for which our Executive Chairman of the Board, Dr. Avi S. Katz, serves as the manager, has agreed that it will be liable to us, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below: (i) $10.00 per public share; or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. There is no assurance that our Sponsor will be able to satisfy its obligations. The per-share liquidation price for the public shares is anticipated to be approximately $10.10 (based on the amount expected to be in trust at the time of the special meeting). Nevertheless, the Company cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the trust account, if the Company liquidates, will not be less than $10.10, plus interest, due to unforeseen claims of potential creditors.

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes

reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

However, because the Company will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires the Company to adopt a plan, based on facts known to the Company at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against the Company within the subsequent ten years. However, because the Company is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations have been limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses.

If the Extension Amendment proposal is approved, such approval will constitute consent for the Company to (i) remove from the trust account an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”) equal to the number of public shares properly redeemed multiplied by the per-share price, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to such approval, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed public shares their portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds shall remain in the trust account and be available for use by the Company to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations on or before the Extended Date. Holders of public shares who do not redeem their public shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability to vote on the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations through the Extended Date if the Extension Amendment is approved.

This proxy statement contains important information about the special meeting and the proposal. Please read it carefully and vote your shares.

In our case, such certain date was originally December 10, 2020. On December 8, 2020, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that extended the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination transaction from December 10, 2020 to March 10, 2021. Our Board believes that it is in the best interests of the stockholders to continue the Company’s existence until the Extended Date in order to allow the Company more time to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, as the Company will not be able to do so by March 10, 2021. Therefore, the Board is submitting the proposal described in this proxy statement for the stockholders to vote upon.

DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA 33484

PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD DECEMBER 5, 2022

The purposeboard of directors (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) of UpHealth, Inc. is soliciting your proxy for the Extension Amendment is2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to providebe held on December 5, 2022, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the Company with sufficient time to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. The completion of the proposed UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations is subject to the satisfaction of the conditionspurposes set forth in the UpHealth BCA and the Cloudbreak BCA, including (i) the Company having an aggregate amountaccompanying Notice of cash and cash equivalents available from any sourcesAnnual Meeting of not less than $150,000,000, (ii) the completion of any required stock exchange and regulatory review, (iii) the approval of the transactions by the Company’s stockholders, UpHealth’s stockholders and Cloudbreak’s stockholders, (iv) UpHealth having consummated certain subsidiary acquisitions, (v) UpHealth having delivered certain financial statements to the Company and (vi) the receipt by UpHealth and Cloudbreak of any required third-party approvals. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that the proposed transactions will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to provide the Company more time to consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. The Company intends to hold another stockholders meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. Approval of the Extension Amendment proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension.

If the Extension is implemented, such approval will constitute consent for the Company to remove the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account, deliver to the holders of redeemed public shares their portion of the Withdrawal Amount and retain the remainder of the funds in the trust account for the Company’s use in connection with consummating the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations on or before the Extended Date.

The Company will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of our public shares cause the Company to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment proposal.

If the Extension Amendment proposal is approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the trust account following the Election. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the trust account if the Extension Amendment proposal is approved and the amount remaining in the trust account may be only a fraction of the approximately $168,000,000 (including interest but less the funds used to pay taxes) that

was in the trust account as of January 31, 2021, which could impact the Company’s ability to consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. As noted above, one of the conditions to the closing of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations is that the Company have an aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents available from any sources of not less than $150,000,000. The amounts being raised pursuant to the subscriptions being made in the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements will satisfy this minimum cash closing condition. However, under the terms of the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements, a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by those agreements is that at least $50,000,000 of the $150,000,000 is from the trust account. In addition, the Cloudbreak BCA also provides that Cloudbreak may terminate the Cloudbreak BCA if the funds in the Company’s trust account are less than an aggregate amount of $125,000,000.

If the Extension Amendment proposal is not approved and the Company has not consummated the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, by March 10, 2021, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and after setting aside up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The initial stockholders have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their shares of common stock, including those included in our units issued to such initial stockholders, acquired directly from the CompanyStockholders (the “Private SharesNotice”). As a consequence of such waivers, any liquidating distribution that is made will be only with respect to the public shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Company’s rights or warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account.

Why is the Company proposing the Extension Amendment proposal?

The Company’s amended charter provides for the return of the IPO proceeds held in trust to the holders of shares of common stock sold in the IPO if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before March 10, 2021. However, as the Company explains below, our Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before March 10, 2021, to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. The Company needs additional time to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment is to provide the Company with sufficient time to complete UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, which our Board believes are in the best interests of our stockholders. The Company needs additional time to satisfy the conditions to completion of the UpHealth and the Cloudbreak Combinations. The time frame for completing the review by the SEC of the Company’s previously filed CombinationThis Proxy Statement and holding a stockholder meetingrelated materials are first being made available to stockholders on or about November 15, 2022. References in accordance with Delaware law to seek approval of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations will extend beyond the March 10, 2021 deadline in the charter for the Company to consummate a Business Combination. Upon completion of the SEC’s review of the Combination Proxy Statement, the Company intends to disseminate the Combinationthis Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholdersCompany,” “we,” “our,” “us and hold another stockholders meeting priorUpHealth” are to UpHealth, Inc., and references to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations.

Why should I vote for the Extension Amendment?Annual Meeting

Our Board believes stockholders will benefit from the Company consummating the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations and is proposing the Extension Amendment to extend the date by which the Company must complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations until the Extended Date.

The Extension would give the Company the opportunity to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations.

The Company’s amended charter provides that if the Company’s stockholders approve an amendment” are to the Company’s charter that would affect2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. When we refer to UpHealth’s fiscal year, we mean the substance or timing ofannual period ending on December 31. This Proxy Statement covers our 2021 fiscal year, which ended on December 31, 2021. When we refer to “in person” attendance and voting at the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% ofAnnual Meeting, we mean virtual attendance and voting over the Company’s public shares ifInternet during the Company does not complete a Business Combination before March 10, 2021, the Company will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of common stock upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to such approval, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), dividedAnnual Meeting (such meaning having been authorized by the numberBoard in accordance with Section 9.5 of then outstanding public shares. The Company believes that this charter provision was included to protectour Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”)).

SOLICITATION AND VOTING

Record Date

Only stockholders of record at the Company’s stockholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitableclose of business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the charter. The Company also believes, however, that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on pursuing the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, circumstances warrant providing those who believe they might find the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations toOctober 28, 2022 will be an attractive investment with an opportunity to consider such transaction.

Our Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Extension Amendment but expresses no opinion as to whether you should redeem your public shares.

How do the Company insiders intend to vote their shares?

All of the Company’s directors and their respective affiliates are expected to vote any common stock over which they have voting control (including any public shares owned by them) in favor of the proposal.

The initial stockholders are not entitled to redeem the Private Shares. With respect to any shares purchased on the open market by the initial stockholdersnotice of and the Company’s directors and their respective affiliates, such public shares may be redeemed. On the record date, the initial stockholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 4,995,000 Private Shares, including those held as a constituent part of Private Placement Units (as defined below) which reflects the number of shares acquired after the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option and which represents approximately 23.06% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

In addition, the Sponsor or the Company’s, UpHealth’s or Cloudbreak’s, executive officers or advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the special meeting, although they are under no obligation to do so. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the special meeting may include an agreement with a selling stockholder that such stockholder, for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Extension Amendment and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the proposal to be voted upon at the special meeting is approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from stockholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Amendment and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the trust account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the trust account. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Extension Amendment. None of the Company’s Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates may make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Does the Board recommend voting for the approval of the proposal?

Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the proposal, the Board has determined that the proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment.

What vote is required to adopt the Extension Amendment?

Approval of the Extension Amendment will require the affirmative vote of holders of 65% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, on the record date.

If the Extension Amendment is approved, any holder of public shares may redeem all or a portion of their public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to such approval, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. However, the Company may not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

What happens if I sell my GigCapital2 common stock or units before the special meeting?

The February 3, 2021 record date is earlier than the date of the special meeting. If you transfer your public shares, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, after the record date, but before the special meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the special meeting. If you transfer your GigCapital2 common stock prior tomeeting and any adjournment thereof. As of the record date, you will have no right150,057,537 shares of UpHealth’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), were outstanding and entitled to vote those shares at the special meeting.vote.

What if I don’t want to vote for the Extension Amendment proposal?Quorum

If you do not want the Extension Amendment to be approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote against the proposal. If the Extension Amendment is approved, and the Extension is implemented, then the Withdrawal Amount will be withdrawn from the trust account and paid to the redeeming holders.

Will you seek any further extensions to liquidate the trust account?

Other than the extension until the Extended Date as described in this proxy statement, the Company does not anticipate seeking any further extension to consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations.

What happens if the Extension Amendment is not approved?

If the Extension Amendment is not approved and the Company has not consummated the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by March 10, 2021, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at aAt least  per-shareone-third price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and after setting aside up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The initial stockholders have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their Private Shares. As a consequence of such waivers, any liquidating distribution that is made will be only

with respect to the public shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Company’s rights or warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account, which it believes are sufficient for such purposes.

If the Extension Amendment proposal is approved, what happens next?

The Company is continuing its efforts to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, which will involve:

finalizing the Combination Proxy Statement that has been filed with the SEC;

distributing the Combination Proxy Statement to stockholders; and

holding a special meeting to consider the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations.

The Company is seeking approval150,057,537 shares of the Extension Amendment because the Company will not be able to complete all of the tasks listed above prior to March 10, 2021. If the Extension Amendment is approved, the Company will seek stockholder approval of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. If stockholders approve the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations (which approval will be solicited at a future date at a special meeting different than the meeting addressed by this proxy statement), the Company expects to consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations as soon as possible following stockholder approval.

Upon approval by 65% of the common stock (including those shares held as a constituent part of our units)Common Stock outstanding as of the record date, or 50,019,179 shares of the Extension Amendment proposal, the Company will file an amendment to the charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in the form of Annex A hereto. The Company will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and its units, common stock, public rights and public warrants will remain publicly traded.

If the Extension Amendment proposal is approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account will reduce the amount remaining in the trust account and increase the percentage interest of the Company’s common stock held by our initial stockholders through the Private Shares.

Would I stillCommon Stock, must be able to exercise my redemption rights if I vote against the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations?

Yes. Assuming you are a stockholder as of the record date for voting on the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, you will be able to vote on the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations when they are submitted to stockholders. If you disagree with the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, you will retain your right to redeem your public shares upon consummation of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, subject to any limitations set forth in the charter.

How do I attend the special meeting, and will I be able to ask questions?

The special meeting will be conducted virtually over the Internet. As a stockholder you will need your Control Number to join the meeting. You can obtain your Control Number from the Notice of the special meeting or the proxy card you received from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent. If you hold your position through a bank or broker and would like to joinrepresented at the meeting, you will need to contact Continental Stock Transfer at 917-262-2373,either in person or www.proxy@continentalstock.com to obtain a control number. Any stockholder may attend, listen and vote during the virtual meeting. You will also be able to ask questions during that part of the meeting by clicking on the chat box and enter a question.

How do I vote?

If you are a holder of record of Company common stock, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, you may vote virtually at the special meeting or by submitting a proxy for the special meeting. Whether or

not you plan to attend the special meeting, the Company urges you to vote by proxy, to ensure your voteconstitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. The 1,700,000 issued shares of Common Stock held by UpHealth as treasury shares (which are not considered as outstanding), as a matter of Delaware law, do not count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is counted. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returningpresent at the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. You may still attend the special meeting and vote virtually if you have already voted by proxy.

If your shares of Company common stock, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, are held in “street name” by a broker or other agent, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the special meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares virtually at the special meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

How do I change my vote?

If you have submitted a proxyentitled to vote your shares and wish to change your vote, you may do so by delivering a later-dated, signed proxy card prior to the date of the special meeting or by voting virtually at the special meeting. Attendance at the special meeting alone will not change your vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the Company at 1731 Embarcadero Rd., Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94303, Attn: Secretary.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the special meeting, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes for the proposal.

If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker automatically vote them for me?

Under the rules governing banks and brokers who submit a proxy card with respect to shares held in street name, such banks and brokers have the discretion to vote on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. The proposal for the approval of the Extension Amendment is a non-routine or “non-discretionary” item.

Your broker can vote your shares with respect to “non-discretionary items” only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares. Your broker can tell you how to provide these instructions. If you do not give your broker instructions, your shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to the proposal for the Extension Amendment, which is a non-routine or “non-discretionary” proposal.

What is a quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock on the record date, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, are represented virtually or by proxy at the special meeting.

(1)

If your shares are held in “street name” by a bank or broker, such bank or broker is required to vote your shares according to your instructions, if provided. If you do not provide specific voting instructions, under NYSE rules governing banks and brokers who submit a proxy card with respect to shares held in “street name,” such banks and brokers have the discretionary authority to vote on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. A broker non-vote occurs when a bank or broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and the bank or broker cannot vote the shares at its discretion because the matter is not considered a routine matter under NYSE rules. In tabulating the voting results for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered entitled to vote on that proposal.

(2)

A vote that is withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote with respect to the director nominee from which it is withheld and will have the same effect as an abstention. Withheld votes and abstentions will not count as votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” a director, and thus will not affect the outcome of this proposal (assuming that a quorum is present), because directors are elected by plurality voting.

(3)

As this proposal is not considered a routine matter, banks and brokers lack authority to exercise their discretion to vote on this proposal if you do not provide specific voting instructions. If you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in “street name” in an account at a bank or brokerage firm, it is critical that you cast your vote if you want it to count in this proposal. Accordingly, we encourage you to vote promptly, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

(4)

A vote marked as an abstention is not considered a vote cast, and thus will not affect the outcome of this proposal, assuming that a quorum is present.

(5)

As this proposal is considered a routine matter, banks and brokers are permitted to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

(6)

Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

Voting Instructions

If you arecomplete and submit your proxy card or voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will follow your voting instructions. If no choice is indicated on the proxy card, the shares will be voted as the Board recommends on each proposal. Many banks and brokerage firms have a stockholderprocess for their beneficial owners to provide instructions via the Internet. The voting form that you receive from your bank or broker will contain instructions for voting.

What interests do the Company’s directors and executive officers have in the approval of the proposal?

The Company’s directors and executive officers have interests in the proposal that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include ownership by them or their affiliates of Private Shares, rights and warrants that may become exercisable in the future, loans by them that will not be repaid in the event of our winding up and the possibility of future compensatory arrangements. See the section entitled “The Extension Amendment — Interests of the Company’s Directors and Officers.”

What if I object to the Extension Amendment? Do I have appraisal rights?

Stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Extension Amendment under the DGCL.

What happens to the Company’s rights and warrants if the Extension Amendment is not approved?

If the Extension Amendment is not approved and the Company has not consummated the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by March 10, 2021, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest income earned on the trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and after setting aside up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (includingagent giving you the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law,vote your shares, by attending the Annual Meeting and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject tovoting in person.

Solicitation of Proxies

We are soliciting your proxy for the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our rights or warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company wind up.

What happens to the Company rights and warrants if the Extension Amendment proposal is approved?

If the Extension Amendment proposal is approved, the Company will continue its efforts to consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations until the Extended Date,Annual Meeting and will retainbear the blank check company restrictions previously applicable to it. The rights and warrants will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

How do I redeem my shares of Company common stock?

If the Extension is implemented, each public stockholder may seek to redeem all or a portion of his public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the approval of the Extension, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. You will

also be able to redeem your public shares in connection with any stockholder vote to approve the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, or if the Company has not consummated the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by the Extended Date.

To demand redemption, you must ensure your bank or broker complies with the requirements identified herein, including submitting a written request that your shares be redeemed for cash to the transfer agent and delivering your shares to the transfer agent prior to 5:00 p.m. EST on March 4, 2021. You will only be entitled to receive cash in connection with a redemption of these shares if you continue to hold them until the effective date of the Extension Amendment and Election.

Pursuant to our charter, a public stockholder may request that the Company redeem all or a portioncost of such public stockholder’s public shares for cash if the Extension Amendment is approved. You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)

(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)

prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 4, 2021, (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent (the “transfer agent”), at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 1004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, that the Company redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Through DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) System, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the stockholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $100 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is the Company’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. Such stockholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those stockholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. Stockholders who request physical stock certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to the vote on the Extension Amendment will not be redeemed for cash held in the trust account. In the event that a public stockholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the vote at the special meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the stockholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the special meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. In the event that a public stockholder tenders shares and the Extension Amendment is

not approved, these shares will not be redeemed and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the stockholder promptly following the determination that the Extension Amendment will not be approved. The Company anticipates that a public stockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment. The transfer agent will hold the certificates of public stockholders that make the election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such stockholders.

If I am a public unit holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?

No. Holders of outstanding public units must separate the underlying public shares, public rights and Public Warrants (as defined below) prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares.

If you hold units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such units into public shares, public rights and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the public share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the public shares from the units. See “How do I redeem my shares of Company common stock?” above.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your the Company shares.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

The Company will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. The Company has engaged MacKenzie Partners, Inc. (“MacKenzie Partners”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting. The Company has agreed to pay MacKenzie Partners a fee of $9,000. The Company will also reimburse MacKenzie Partners for reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses.process. In addition to these mailed proxy materials,soliciting stockholders by mail, we will request banks, brokers and other intermediaries holding shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by others to obtain proxies from the beneficial owners and will reimburse them for their reasonable, out-of-pocket costs.

BACKGROUND

The Company

We are a Private-to-Public Equity (PPE) company, also known as a blank check company or a special purpose acquisition company, incorporated as a Delaware corporation on March 6, 2019 and formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, recapitalization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction (a “Business Combination”) with one or more operating businesses or assets.

“Private-to-Public Equity (PPE)” is a trademark of an affiliate of the Company, GigFounders, LLC, used pursuant to agreement.

On June 10, 2019, we consummated our IPO of 15,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “units”), generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock; one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock (“Public Warrant”), and one right to receive one-twentieth (1/20) of one share of our common stock upon the completion of a Business Combination. Each Public Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per full share. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the units, we consummated the private placement (the “Initial Private Placement”) of 492,500 units (the “Private Placement Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, with each of the Founders (the “Unit Purchase Agreements”). In addition, as part of the Initial Private Placement, we also sold 100,000 shares of our common stock (the “Private Underwriter Shares”), at a price of $10.00 per share, to Northland. In connection with the IPO on June 13, 2019, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, and purchased an aggregate of 2,250,000 units, generating gross proceeds of $22,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the additional units as a result of the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, we consummated a second private placement (which together with the Initial Private Placement, we refer to as the “Private Placement”), resulting in the sale of an additional 75,000 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per unit to the Founders, and an additional 20,000 Private Underwriter Shares at $10.00 per share to Northland. Among the Founders, the Sponsor purchased 481,250 Private Placement Units; EarlyBird and members of the EarlyBird Group collectively purchased 29,900 Private Placement Units and Northland Investment purchased 56,350 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement generated aggregate gross proceeds of $6,875,000. The Private Placement Units are substantially similar to the units, except for certain differences in the warrants included in the Private Placement Units (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Unlike the Public Warrants, if held by the original holder or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis at such time as they become exercisable, (ii) are not redeemable by us, and (iii) subject to certain limited exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until thirty (30) days following the consummation of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than its initial holders or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

As of January 31, 2021, we had approximately $168,000,000 (including interest but less the funds used to pay taxes) in the trust account.

The mailing address of our principal executive office is 1731 Embarcadero Rd., Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94303, and its telephone number is (650) 276-7040.

The Proposed UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations

As previously announced, on November 23, 2020, we agreed to acquire UpHealth in the UpHealth Combination pursuant to the terms of the UpHealth BCA and to acquire Cloudbreak in the Cloudbreak Combination pursuant to the terms of the Cloudbreak BCA. Our Board believes that the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations are compelling and the consummation thereof is in the best interests of our stockholders. We, UpHealth and

Cloudbreak are working to finalize the Combination Proxy Statement to seek stockholder approval of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations at a special meeting of our stockholders, and to ensure that such proxy statement satisfies all requirements of the SEC, and to otherwise satisfy the closing conditions in order to consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. Under the current terms of our charter, this must be accomplished by March 10, 2021. Our Board believes that in order to be able to successfully complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, it is necessary and appropriate to obtain the Extension. As noted, the Extension would extend the date by which we must complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations to the Extended Date, or June 10, 2021. Our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to extend the date by which we must complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations to the Extended Date.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the UpHealth BCA, at the effective time of the UpHealth Business Combination, each share of UpHealth Common Stock will be canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of GigCapital2 (the “GigCapital2 Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the UpHealth BCA). The Exchange Ratio will be equal to the Aggregate Merger Consideration (as defined in the UpHealth BCA) divided by the sum of the aggregate number of shares of UpHealth Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the UpHealth Business Combination. Such Aggregate Merger Consideration shall not exceed 99,000,000 shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments, less the Thrasys Incentive Amount (as defined below). UpHealth and Innovations Group, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Innovations Group”) previously entered into a merger agreement for UpHealth to acquire Innovations Group. UpHealth also has previously entered into a share purchase agreement providing for the purchase of 99% or more of the equity interests of Glocal Healthcare Systems Private Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of India (“Glocal”), and UpHealth as of the date of entry into the UpHealth BCA owns approximately 43% of the equity interests of Glocal. The Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be reduced by approximately (a) 14,142,857 shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock, if upon the Closing (as defined below), UpHealth has not completed its acquisition of Innovations Group, and (b) 99,000 shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock for each 1.0% interest of Glocal that is below 90% and that is not yet acquired by UpHealth upon the Closing. Adjustments to the Aggregate Merger Consideration will further be made to the extent that the indebtedness at the closing of the UpHealth Business Combination of UpHealth and the Company Subsidiaries (as defined in the UpHealth BCA) less the cash and cash equivalents of UpHealth and the Company Subsidiaries as of immediately before such time is greater than $33,850,000 (excluding any Acquisition Promissory Notes). The Acquisition Promissory Notes are promissory notes previously issued by UpHealth for its acquisitions of Thrasys, Inc., a California corporation (“Thrasys”), Behavioral Health Services, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (“Behavioral Health Services”), TTC Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TTC Healthcare”), and the interests in Glocal, or to be issued by UpHealth for its acquisition of Innovations Group, with a maximum aggregate principal amount of $86,200,000, of which $33,500,000 is due and payable on the date that is one business day after the Closing; provided, that such amount shall be reduced by $30,000,000, if upon the Closing, UpHealth has not completed its acquisition of Innovations Group. Two individuals who are officers of UpHealth, and were shareholders of Thrasys prior to its merger with UpHealth, will following the Closing, if he or she is a service provider to GigCapital2, UpHealth or any of the Company Subsidiaries as of the date of grant, be awarded restricted stock units of GigCapital2 (the “Thrasys Incentive Amount”). The Thrasys Incentive Amount that shall be eligible to be granted shall be (a) 32.016% multiplied by (b) 15.143% multiplied by (c) the Adjusted Aggregate Merger Incentive Amount (as defined in the UpHealth BCA). The Adjusted Aggregate Merger Incentive Amount shall be (a) $990,000,000, subject to certain adjustments, divided by (b) $10.00. In the event that either individual ceases to be a service provider to GigCapital2, UpHealth or any of the Company Subsidiaries as of the date of grant, the portion of the Thrasys Incentive Amount allocated to such individual will not be reallocated to the other individual. Such restricted stock units shall vest into shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock at the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the Closing, (ii) the date on which the last sale price of GigCapital2 Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the closing of the UpHealth Business Combination, or (iii) the date on which GigCapital2 completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the GigCapital2’s

stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. If either of these individuals ceases to be a service provider to GigCapital2, UpHealth or any of the Company Subsidiaries prior to any vesting date, the unvested portion of the restricted stock units shall be cancelled and surrendered to GigCapital2.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Cloudbreak BCA, at the effective time of the Cloudbreak Business Combination: (i) each Common Unit (as defined in the Cloudbreak BCA) (and the membership interests represented thereby) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock equal to the Common Unit Exchange Ratio (together with any Business Combination Share Adjustment, as defined below, to which each Common Unit is entitled, the “Common Unit Merger Consideration”); (ii) each Series A Preferred Unit (as defined in the Cloudbreak BCA) (and the membership interests represented thereby) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock equal to the Preferred Unit Exchange Ratio (in addition to any Business Combination Share Adjustment to which each Series A Preferred Unit is entitled); and (iii) each Option (as defined in the Cloudbreak BCA) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Closing, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by GigCapital2 and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock in an amount set forth on the Allocation Schedule, which amount shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of Common Units subject to such Option, multiplied by (ii) the Common Unit Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Cloudbreak BCA) (each such converted option, an “Exchanged Option”); provided, however, that any fractional share resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share, and the Company shall pay to such Continuing Employee (as defined in the Cloudbreak BCA) a cash amount in respect of such fractional share on the next full payroll cycle following Closing. Each holder of Exchanged Options shall also be entitled to any Business Combination Share Adjustment made pursuant to the Cloudbreak BCA. Except as specifically agreed to otherwise or provided in the Cloudbreak BCA, following the Closing, each Exchanged Option shall continue to be governed by the same vesting and exercisability terms and otherwise substantially similar terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding former Option immediately prior to the Closing. Additionally, immediately prior to the Closing, each Common Warrant shall convert into Common Units in accordance with their terms. The aggregate number of shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock issuable at the Closing, and upon the exercise of all Exchanged Options on a net exercise basis, shall equal 11,000,000 shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock. Furthermore, in connection with the Closing, (i) GigCapital2 has agreed to repay or cause to be repaid on behalf of Cloudbreak certain debt obligations of Cloudbreak of approximately $28,500,000 and (ii) the Significant UpHealth Stockholders have agreed to subject 5,500,000 of their shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, reorganizations and the like) that they would receive upon the Closing as part of the UpHealth Business Combination to potential forfeiture and transfer (such transfer, the “Business Combination Share Adjustment”) to the Cloudbreak members in connection with a Valuation Shortfall on the 540th day from the date of the Closing (or if such day is not a business day, the following business day) (the “Measurement Date”) as provided in the Cloudbreak BCA. A Valuation Shortfall shall occur if the dollar volume-weighted average price for the GigCapital2 Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the period beginning at 9:30 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg through its “HP” function (set to weighted average) or if not available on Bloomberg, as reported by Morningstar (the “VWAP”) for the ten trading days preceding the Measurement Date (the “Reference VWAP”) is less than $13.64, and the amount of such Valuation Shortfall is the difference between $13.64 minus the Reference VWAP. In the event that a Valuation Shortfall occurs, the amount of shares of GigCapital2 Common Stock that the Significant UpHealth Stockholders shall forfeit to the Cloudbreak members will be the lesser of (i) the Adjustment Amount and (ii) 5,500,000 (or, if the Adjustment Amount equals 5,500,000, the Adjustment Amount). The Adjustment Amount means the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole number) of (A) the Aggregate Valuation Shortfall, divided by (B) the Reference VWAP. The Aggregate Valuation Shortfall means the product of (A) the amount of the Valuation Shortfall, multiplied by (B) 11,000,000.

In furtherance of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, on January 20, 2021, we entered into PIPE Subscription Agreements, each dated as of January 20, 2021, with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, in private placements to close immediately prior to the closing of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000.

Also on January 20, 2021, we entered into the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements, each dated as of January 20, 2021, with the Convertible Note Investors, pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to issue and sell to the Convertible Note Investors, in private placements to close immediately prior to the closing of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, the Convertible Notes due in 2026 for an aggregate purchase price of $255,000,000. The Convertible Notes are convertible into 22,173,913 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $11.50.

The Company and UpHealth cannot complete the UpHealth Business Combination unless the Company’s stockholders approve the UpHealth Business Combination, including the issuance of Common Stock to UpHealth equity holders as merger consideration and the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the PIPE Investors and the Convertible Notes to the Convertible Note Investors, and certain of the other proposals contained in the Combination Proxy Statement.

The Company and Cloudbreak cannot complete the Cloudbreak Business Combination unless the Company’s stockholders approve the UpHealth Business Combination and the Cloudbreak Business Combination, including the issuance of Common Stock to Cloudbreak equity holders as merger consideration and the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the PIPE Investors and the Convertible Notes to the Convertible Note Investors, and certain of the other proposals contained in the Combination Proxy Statement.

Approval of the Extension Amendment proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of 65% of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the record date.

If you do not vote (i.e., you “abstain” from voting on the proposal), your action will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as “AGAINST” votes.

If you do not want the proposal to be approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote against the proposal. The Company anticipates that a public stockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment.

Voting

You can vote your shares at the special meeting by proxy or virtually.

You can vote by proxy by having one or more individuals who will be at the special meeting vote your shares for you. These individuals are called “proxies” and using them to cast your ballot at the special meeting is called voting “by proxy.”

If you wish to vote by proxy, you must (i) complete the enclosed form, called a “proxy card,” and mail it in the envelope provided or (ii) submit your proxy by telephone or over the Internet (if those options are available to you) in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card.

If you complete the proxy card and mail it in the envelope provided or submit your proxy by telephone or over the Internet as described above, you will designate Dr. Raluca Dinu and Brad Weightman to act as your proxy at the special meeting. One of them will then vote your shares at the special meeting in accordance with the instructions you have given them in the proxy card or voting instructions, as applicable, with respect to the proposal presented in this proxy statement. Proxies will extend to, and be voted at, any adjournment(s) of the special meeting.

Alternatively, you can vote your shares in person by attending the special meeting. You will be given a ballot at the special meeting.

A special note for those who plan to attend the special meeting and vote virtually: if your shares or units are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, please follow the instructions you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares. You will not be able to vote at the special meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from the record holder of your shares.

Our Board is asking for your proxy. Giving our Board your proxy means you authorize it to vote your shares at the special meeting in the manner you direct. You may vote for or withhold your vote for the nominee or any proposal or you may abstain from voting. All valid proxies received prior to the special meeting will be voted. All shares represented by a proxy will be voted, and where a stockholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made. If no choice is indicated on the proxy, the shares will be voted “FOR” the Extension Amendment, and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters that may properly come before the special meeting.

Stockholders who have questions or need assistance in completing or submitting their proxy cards should contact our proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, at (212) 929-5500 (call collect), (800) 322-2885 (call toll-free), or by sending an email to proxy@mackenziepartners.com.

Stockholders who hold their shares in “street name,” meaning the name of a broker or other nominee who is the record holder, must either direct the record holder of their shares to vote their shares or obtain a legal proxy from the record holder to vote their shares at the special meeting.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the polls close at the special meeting. A proxy may be revoked by filing with the Secretary at GigCapital2, Inc., 1731 Embarcadero Rd., Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94303 either a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy or a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares or by attending the special meeting and voting virtually.

Simply attending the special meeting will not constitute a revocation of your proxy. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee who is the record holder, you must follow the instructions of your broker or other nominee to revoke a previously given proxy.

Attendance at the Special Meeting

Only holders of common stock, their proxy holders and guests the Company may invite may attend the special meeting. If you wish to attend the special meeting virtually but you hold your shares or units through someone else, such as a broker, please follow the instructions you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares. You must bring a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.

Solicitation of Proxies

Your proxy is being solicited by our Board on the proposal being presented to stockholders at the special meeting. The Company has agreed to pay MacKenzie Partners a fee of $9,000. The Company will also reimburse MacKenzie Partners for reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and executive officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. The

Company may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. You may contact MacKenzie Partners at:

The cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy, and the cost of soliciting proxies relating to the special meeting, will be borne by the Company.

Some banks and brokers have customers who beneficially own common stock listed of record in the names of nominees. The Company intends to request banks and brokers to solicit such customers and will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for such solicitations. If any additional solicitation of the holders of our outstanding common stock is deemed necessary, the Company (through our directors and executive officers) anticipates making such solicitation directly.

No Right of Appraisal

The Company’s stockholders do not have appraisal rights under the DGCL in connection with the proposal to be voted on at the special meeting. Accordingly, our stockholders have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares.

Other Business

The Company is not currently aware of any business to be acted upon at the special meeting other than the matters discussed in this proxy statement. The form of proxy accompanying this proxy statement confers discretionary authority upon the named proxy holders with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting and with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the special meeting. If other matters do properly come before the special meeting, or at any adjournment(s) of the special meeting, the Company expects that the shares of common stock represented by properly submitted proxies will be voted by the proxy holders in accordance with the recommendations of our Board.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT

The Extension AmendmentELECTION OF DIRECTORS

We have a classified Board consisting of three Class I directors, three Class II directors and three Class III directors. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors are elected for a term of three years to succeed those directors whose terms expire at the annual meeting dates. Following the Annual Meeting, we will have no vacancies on our Board.

The Company is proposing to amend its charter to extend the date by which the Company must consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations to the Extended Date.

The purposeterm of the Extension Amendment is to provide the Company with sufficient time to satisfy the conditions to completion of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations pursuant to the terms of the UpHealth BCA and the Cloudbreak BCA, respectively. The time frame for completing the review by the SEC of the Company’s previously filed combination prospectus/proxy statement and holding a stockholder meeting in accordance with Delaware law to seek approval of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinationsexisting Class I directors will extend beyond the March 10, 2021 deadline in the Company’s charter.

Approval of the Extension Amendment proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension.

If the Extension Amendment proposal is not approved and the Company has not consummated the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by March 10, 2021, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and after setting aside up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

A copy of the proposed amendment to the Company’s charter is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A.

Reasons for the Proposal

The Company’s IPO prospectus and charter originally provided that the Company initially had until December 10, 2020 (the date which was 18 months after the consummation of the IPO) to complete a Business Combination. On December 8, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to its charter that extended the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from December 10, 2020 to March 10, 2021.

This is not sufficient time to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. Because the Company will not be able to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by March 10, 2021, the Company has determined to seek stockholder approval to extend the time for closing the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations beyond March 10, 2021, to the Extended Date. The purpose of the Extension Amendment is to provide the Company with sufficient time to complete the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, which our Board believes are in the best interests of our stockholders. The Company needs sufficient time to satisfy the conditions to completion of the UpHealth and the Cloudbreak Combinations. The time frame for completing the review by the SEC of the Company’s previously filed Combination Proxy Statement and holding a stockholder meeting in accordance with Delaware law to seek approval of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations will extend beyond the March 10, 2021 deadline in the charter for the Company to consummate a Business Combination.

Upon preparation of the Combination Proxy Statement, the Company intends to hold another stockholders meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of a potential Business Combination. Therefore, the Company is not asking you to vote on the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote

on the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations and the right to redeem your public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, in the event the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by the Extended Date.

The Company’s charter provides that if the Company’s stockholders approve an amendment to the Company’s charter that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination before March 10, 2021, the Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of common stock upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. The Company believes that this charter provision was included to protect the Company’s stockholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the charter.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Extension Amendment is not approved and the Company has not consummated the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by March 10, 2010, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The initial stockholders have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their Private Shares. As a consequence of such waivers, any liquidating distribution that is made will be only with respect to the public shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Company’s rights or warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company winds up. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account.

If the Extension Amendment is not approved, the trust account will be liquidated as described above.

If the Extension Amendment is Approved

If the Extension Amendment is approved, the Company will file an amendment to the charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in the form of Annex A hereto to extend the time it must complete a Business Combination until the Extended Date. The Company will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and its units, common stock, public rights and public warrants will remain publicly traded. The Company will then continue to work to consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by the Extended Date.

You are not being asked to vote on the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the Extension, you will retain the right to vote on the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations when they are submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for cash from the trust account in the event the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by the Extended Date.

If the Extension Amendment proposal is approved, and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the trust account. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the trust account if the Extension Amendment proposal is approved, and the amount remaining in the trust account may be only a fraction of the $174,284,387 (including interest but less the funds used to pay taxes) that was in the trust account as of September 30, 2020. However, the Company will not proceed with the Extension if the number of redemptions of our public shares causes us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment proposal.

Redemption Rights

If the Extension Amendment proposal is approved, and the Extension is implemented, public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to such approval, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. However, the Company may not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If the Extension Amendment is approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in conjunction with the consummation of the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, subject to any limitations set forth in our charter, as amended. In addition, public stockholders who vote for the Extension Amendment and do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by the Extended Date.

TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, YOU MUST ENSURE YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED HEREIN, INCLUDING SUBMITTING A WRITTEN REQUEST THAT YOUR SHARES BE REDEEMED FOR CASH TO THE TRANSFER AGENT AND DELIVERING YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EST ON MARCH 4, 2021. YOU WILL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE CASH IN CONNECTION WITH A REDEMPTION OF THESE SHARES IF YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD THEM UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT AND ELECTION.

Pursuant to our charter, a public stockholder may request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such public stockholder’s public shares for cash if the Extension Amendment is approved. You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(iii)

(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(iv)

prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 4, 2021, (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent (the “transfer agent”), at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 1004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, that the Company redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Through DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) System, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the stockholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by

contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $100 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is the Company’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. Such stockholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those stockholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. Stockholders who request physical stock certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to the vote on the Extension Amendment will not be redeemed for cash held in the trust account. In the event that a public stockholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the vote at the special meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the stockholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the special meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. In the event that a public stockholder tenders shares and the Extension Amendment is not approved, these shares will not be redeemed and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the stockholder promptly following the determination that the Extension Amendment will not be approved. The Company anticipates that a public stockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment. The transfer agent will hold the certificates of public stockholders that make the election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such stockholders.

If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Based on the amount in the trust account as of February 11, 2021, this would amount to approximately $10.10 per share. The closing price of the common stock on February 11, 2021, the most recent closing price, was $10.23.

If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your shares of the Company’s common stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender your stock certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent prior to the vote on the Extension Amendment. The Company anticipates that a public stockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Company’s stockholders with respect to the exercise of redemption rights in connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and to varying interpretations, which could result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those described below. This discussion does not address the tax consequences to stockholders under any state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws or any other U.S. federal tax, including the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code and the net investment income tax.

This discussion applies only to stockholders of the Company who hold their shares as a “capital asset,” as defined in the Code. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular stockholders in light of their individual circumstances or to certain types of stockholders subject to special treatment under the Code, including, without limitation, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, cooperatives, banks and certain other financial institutions, insurance companies, tax exempt organizations, retirement plans, stockholders that are, or hold shares through, partnerships or other pass through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or investors therein, U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, dealers in securities or foreign currency, traders that mark to market their securities, U.S. Holders subject to special accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, certain former citizens and long-term residents of the United States, and stockholders holding Company shares as a part of a straddle, hedging, constructive sale or conversion transaction.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a stockholder, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners should consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to them of their partnership making the Election.

No legal opinion of any kind has been or will be sought or obtained regarding the U.S. federal income tax or any other tax consequences of making or not making the Election. In addition, the following discussion is not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any other taxing authority, and no ruling has been or will be sought or obtained from the IRS or other taxing authority with respect to any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences or any other tax consequences that may arise in connection with the Election. There can be no assurance that the IRS or other taxing authority will not challenge any of the general statements made in this summary or that a U.S. court or other judicial body would not sustain such a challenge.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS TAX ADVICE. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF MAKING OR NOT MAKING THE ELECTION, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX RULES AND POSSIBLE CHANGES IN LAWS THAT MAY AFFECT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Non-Electing Stockholders

A stockholder who does not make the Election (including any stockholder who votes in favor of the Extension Amendment) will continue to own his shares and warrants, and will not recognize any income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes by reason of the Extension Amendment.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Electing Stockholders

U.S. Holders

A stockholder is a U.S. Holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes if such stockholder is (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that was created or organized in the U.S. or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) such trust has in effect a valid election to be treated as a United States person. A U.S. Holder includes an individual who satisfies the substantial presence test. The substantial presence test is satisfied if an individual is physically present in the U.S. for at least 31 days during the current

year, and 183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current year and the 2 years immediately before that, counting (1) all the days such individual was present in the current year, (2) 1/3 of the days such individual was present in the prior year, and (3) 1/6 of the days such individual was present in the year before that. An exception may apply under certain conditions if the individual is present for fewer than 183 days in the taxable year and has a tax home in and a closer connection with a foreign country than with the United States. Other exceptions may apply, including tax treaty based exceptions.

A U.S. Holder who makes the Election will receive cash in exchange for the tendered shares, and will be considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes either to have made a sale of the tendered shares (a “Sale”), or will be considered to have received a distribution with respect to his shares (a “Distribution”) that may be treated as (i) dividend income, (ii) a nontaxable recovery of basis in his investment in the tendered shares, or (iii) gain (but not loss) as if the shares with respect to which the Distribution was made had been sold.

If redemption of shares is treated as a Sale, the U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in the redemption and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of the redeemed shares exceeds one year as of the date of the redemption. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost for those shares. If the holder purchased an investment unit consisting of both shares and warrants, the cost of such unit must be allocated between the shares and warrants that comprised such unit based on their relative fair market values at the time of the purchase. Calculation of gain or loss must be made separately for each block of shares owned by a U.S. Holder.

A redemption will be treated as a Sale with respect to a U.S. Holder if the redemption of the U.S. Holder’s shares (i) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in the Company, (ii) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to such U.S. Holder. In determining whether any of these tests has been met, each U.S. Holder must consider not only shares actually owned but also shares deemed to be owned by reason of applicable constructive ownership rules. A U.S. Holder may be considered to constructively own shares that are actually owned by certain related individuals or entities. In addition, a right to acquire shares pursuant to an option causes the covered shares to be constructively owned by the holder of the option. Accordingly, any U.S. Holder who has tendered all of his actually owned shares for redemption but continues to hold warrants after the redemption will generally not be considered to have experienced a complete termination of his interest in the Company.

In general, a distribution to a U.S. Holder in redemption of shares will qualify as “substantially disproportionate” only if the percentage of the Company’s shares that are owned by the U.S. Holder (actually and constructively) after the redemption is less than 80% of the percentage of outstanding Company shares owned by such U.S. Holder before the redemption. Whether the redemption will result in a more than 20% reduction in a U.S. Holder’s percentage interest in the Company will depend on the particular facts and circumstances, including the number of other tendering U.S. Holders that are redeemed pursuant to the Election.

Even if the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s shares in connection with the Extension Amendment is not treated as a Sale under either the “complete termination” test or the “substantially disproportionate” test described above, the redemption may nevertheless be treated as a Sale of the shares (rather than as a Distribution) if the effect of the redemption is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to that U.S. Holder. A redemption will satisfy the “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test if it results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s equity interest in the Company. The IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority U.S. Holder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over and does not participate in the management of the corporation may constitute such a meaningful reduction. However, the applicability of this ruling is uncertain and U.S. Holders who do not qualify for Sale treatment under either of the other two tests should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test to their particular situations.

If none of the tests for Sale treatment are met with respect to a U.S. Holder, amounts received in exchange for the U.S. Holder’s redeemed shares will be taxable to the U.S. Holder as a “dividend” to the extent of such U.S. Holder’s ratable share of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Although it is believed that the Company presently has no accumulated earnings and profits, it will not be possible to definitely determine whether the Company will have, as of the end of its taxable year, any current earnings. If there are no current or accumulated earnings or the amount of the Distribution to the U.S. Holder exceeds his share of earnings and profits, the excess of redemption proceeds over any portion that is taxable as a dividend will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the U.S. Holder (to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares). Any amounts received in the Distribution in excess of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares will constitute taxable gain of the same character as if the shares had been transferred in a Sale, and thus will result in recognition of capital gain to the extent of such excess. If the amounts received by a tendering U.S. Holder are required to be treated as a “dividend,” the tax basis in the shares that were redeemed (after an adjustment for non-taxable return of capital discussed above) will be transferred to any remaining shares held by such U.S. Holder. If the redemption is treated as a dividend but the U.S. Holder has not retained any actually owned shares, the U.S. Holder should consult his own tax advisor regarding possible allocation of the basis in the redeemed shares to other interests in the Company.

Non-U.S. Holders

A stockholder is a Non-U.S. Holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes if such stockholder is not a U.S. Holder.

If a redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s shares is treated as a Distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled “U.S. Holders,” to the extent paid out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such Distribution will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, the Company will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of Company stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Company common stock, which will be treated as described below.

The withholding tax does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate).

If a redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s shares is treated as a Sale, as discussed above under the section entitled “U.S. Holders,” a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on such Sale, unless:

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States);

such Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the disposition takes place and has a “tax home” in the United States; or

the Company is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition orthis Annual Meeting. Accordingly, three persons are to be elected to serve as Class I directors of the period that Board at this Annual Meeting. The Board’s nominees for election by the Non-U.S. Holder heldstockholders to those three positions are (1) current Class I director and our shares.

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain describedChief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Mr. Samuel J. Meckey, and two new independent Class I director nominees, (2) Mr. Luis Machuca and (3) Mr. Mark Guinan. Each nominee has consented to being named in the first bullet point aboveproxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting and to serve if elected. The Board has determined not to renominate current Class I directors Messrs. Neil Miotto and Jerome Ringo for election to the Board. One member of the Board abstained from the vote approving the Board’s nominees.

If elected, each nominee will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate). If the second bullet point applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, such Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. tax on such Non-U.S. Holder’s net capital gain for such year (including any gain realized in connection with the redemption) at a rate of 30%. Note that a non-U.S. individual physically present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during a taxable year generally satisfies the substantial presence test, is taxableserve as a U.S. resident, and therefore is a U.S. Holder. If a non-U.S. individual has a special visa status, he or she may be a Non-U.S. Holder despite being physically present in the U.S. for 183 days or more.

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such holder on the Sale will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, the Company may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a ratedirector until our annual meeting of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. The Company believes that it is not and has not been at any time since our formation a United States real property holding corporation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if a redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s shares may be treated as other than a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the extent withholding would be required if such redemption were treated as a dividend, the Company or another applicable withholding agent may withhold as if the redemption were treated as a dividend. In such event, a Non-U.S. Holder may seek a refund from the IRS with respect to withholdings on amounts in excess of the portion (if any) treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors on how to obtain a refund of any excess withholding.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Gross proceeds from the redemption of shares in connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment may be subject to information reporting. Additionally, U.S. federal income tax laws require that, in order to avoid potential backup withholding in respect of certain “reportable payments”, each tendering U.S. Holder (or other payee) must either (i) provide to the Company such U.S. Holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) (or certify under penalty of perjury that such U.S. Holder is awaiting a TIN) and certify that (A) such U.S. Holder has not been notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest and dividends or (B) the IRS has notified such U.S. Holder that such U.S. Holder is no longer subject to backup withholding, or (ii) provide an adequate basis for exemption. Each tendering U.S. Holder is required to make such certifications by providing the Company a signed copy of IRS Form W-9. Exempt tendering U.S. Holders are not subject to backup withholding and reporting requirements, but will be required to certify their exemption from backup withholding on an applicable form. If the Company is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for exemption, the relevant tendering U.S. Holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS, and any “reportable payments” made to such U.S. Holder pursuant to the redemption will be subject to backup withholding in an amount equal to 24% of such “reportable payments.”

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Amounts withheld, if any, are generally not an additional tax and may be refunded or credited against the stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the stockholder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS.

FATCA

Pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), foreign financial institutions (which term includes most foreign hedge funds, private equity funds, mutual funds, securitization vehicles and other investment vehicles) and certain other foreign entities must comply with certain information reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors. A foreign financial institution or such other foreign entity that does not comply with the FATCA reporting requirements generally will be subject to a 30% withholding tax with respect to any “withholdable payments.” For this purpose, withholdable payments generally include U.S.-source payments otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax (e.g., U.S.-source dividends, including the proceeds of a redemption treated as a Distribution) and also include the entire gross proceeds from the sale of any stock of U.S. issuers (including a redemption treated as a Sale), even if the payment would otherwise not be subject to U.S. nonresident withholding tax (e.g., because it is capital gain). The IRS recently issued proposed Treasury Regulations that would eliminate the application of this regime with respect to payments of gross proceeds (but not interest (including any original issue discount), dividends, rents, salaries, wages, premiums, annuities, compensations, remunerations, emoluments, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gains, profits, and income). Pursuant to these proposed Treasury Regulations, the Company and any applicable withholding agent may (but are not required to) rely on this proposed change to FATCA withholding until final regulations are issued.

The Company will not pay any additional amounts to redeeming stockholders in respect of any amounts withheld, including pursuant to FATCA. Under certain circumstances, a stockholder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Stockholders2025 and until their respective successors are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effect, ifelected and qualified. If any of the FATCA provisionsnominees declines to them based on their particular circumstances.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote by holders of 65% of the Company’s outstanding common stock is required to approve the Extension Amendment. If the Extension Amendment is not approved, the Extension Amendment will not be implemented and the Company will be required by its charter to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and after setting aside up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

All of the Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any common stock owned by them in favor of the Extension Amendment. On the record date, the initial stockholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 4,995,000 Private Shares, including those that are a constituent security to a Private Placement Unit, representing approximately 23.06 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

In addition, the Founders, or the Company’s or the target company’s directors, officers or advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market

prior to the special meeting, although they are under no obligation to do so. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the special meeting may include an agreement with a selling stockholder that such stockholder, for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Extension Amendment and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of that the proposal to be voted upon at the special meeting is approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from stockholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Amendment and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the trust account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the trust account. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliatesproxies may be voted in favorfor such substitute nominees as we may designate. The proxies cannot vote for more than three persons.

None of the Company’s Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates may make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers

When you consider the recommendation of our Board, you should keep in mind that the Company’s executive officers and directors, and their affiliates, have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

If the Extension Amendment is not approved and the Company does not consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations by March 10, 2021, in accordance with our charter, the 4,500,237 Private Shares, including those that are a constituent security to a Private Placement Unit, which were acquired directly from the Company,votes will be worthless (as the initial stockholderselected as Class I directors. A “Withhold” vote will have waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares), as will the Private Placement Warrants and the rights that are also constituent securities of Sponsor’s Private Placement Units as they will expire. Such common stock, warrants and rights had an aggregate market value of approximately $11.781 basedno effect on the last sale price of $10.23, $1.18 and $0.371, respectively, on the NYSE on February 11, 2021;

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below: (i) $10.00 per public share; or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

All rights specified in the Company’s charter relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by the Company, and of the Company’s executive officers and directors to be exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions, will continue after the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations. If the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations are not approved and the Company liquidates, the Company will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under those provisions;

All of the current members of our Board are expected to continue to serve as directors at least through the date of the special meeting to approve the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations and some are expected to continue to serve following the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations as discussed above and receive compensation thereafter; and

The Company’s executive officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on the Company’s

vote.

behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if the Company fails to obtain the Extension and consummate the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, the Company will most likely not be able to reimburse these expenses if the UpHealth and Cloudbreak Combinations are not completed.

Recommendation

As discussed above, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the Extension Amendment proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Extension Amendment proposal.

OurThe Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment proposal. Ournominees named above.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

The Board has determined that, other than Mr. Meckey and Drs. Kathuria and Pylypiv, each of the current members and nominees of the Board is an “independent director” for purposes of the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as the term relates to membership on the Board and the various committees of the Board, and which is defined generally as a person other than an executive officer or employee of UpHealth or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Board Responsibilities and Structure

The Board oversees, counsels, and directs management in the long-term interests of UpHealth and our stockholders. The Board’s responsibilities include:

selecting, evaluating the performance of, and determining the compensation of the CEO and other executive officers;

planning for succession with respect to the position of CEO and monitoring management’s succession planning for other executive officers;

reviewing and approving our major financial objectives and strategic and operating plans, and other significant actions;

overseeing the conduct of our business and the assessment of our business and other enterprise risks to evaluate whether the business is being properly managed; and

overseeing the processes for maintaining our integrity with regard to our financial statements and other public disclosures, and compliance with law and ethics.

The Board and its committees met throughout the year on a set schedule, held special meetings, and acted by written consent from time to time as appropriate.

Board Leadership Structure. The Board has leadership in the form of a Chairman of the Board. The Bylaws establish a fixed policy regarding the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. In accordance with this policy, the Board maintains a separate Chairman of the Board who is not the CEO of UpHealth. The duties of the Chairman of the Board include:

presiding over all meetings of the Board;

preparing the agenda for Board meetings in consultation with the CEO and other members of the Board;

working with the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee to manage the Board’s process for annual director self-assessment and evaluation of the Board and of the CEO;

general supervision and control of the acquisition and financing activities of the Company; and

presiding over all meetings of stockholders.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight at UpHealth

One of the Board’s functions is oversight of risk management at UpHealth. “Risk” is inherent in business, and the Board seeks to understand and advise on risk in conjunction with the activities of the Board and the Board’s committees.

Defining Risk. The Board and management consider “risk” for these purposes to be the possibility that an undesired event could occur that might adversely affect the achievement of our objectives. Risks vary in many ways, including the ability of UpHealth to anticipate and understand the risk, the types of adverse impacts that could occur if the undesired event occurs, the likelihood that an undesired event and a particular adverse impact would occur, and the ability of UpHealth to control the risk and the potential adverse impacts. Examples of the types of risks faced by UpHealth include:

macro-economic risks, such as inflation, reductions in economic growth, or recession;

political risks, such as restrictions on access to markets, confiscatory taxation, or expropriation of assets;

“event” risks, such as natural disasters; and

business-specific risks related to strategic position, operational execution, financial structure, legal and regulatory compliance, and corporate governance.

Not all risks can be dealt with in the same way. Some risks may be easily perceived and controllable, and other risks are unknown; some risks can be avoided or mitigated by particular behavior, and some risks are unavoidable as a practical matter. For some risks, the potential adverse impact would be minor, and, as a matter of business judgment, it may not be appropriate to allocate significant resources to avoid the adverse impact; in other cases, the adverse impact could be significant, and it is prudent to expend resources to seek to avoid or mitigate the potential adverse impact. In some cases, a higher degree of risk may be acceptable because of a greater perceived potential for reward. UpHealth engages in numerous activities seeking to align its voluntary risk-taking with company strategy, and understands that its projects and processes may enhance UpHealth’s business interests by encouraging innovation and appropriate levels of risk-taking.

Management is responsible for identifying risk and risk controls related to significant business activities; mapping the risks to company strategy; and developing programs and recommendations to determine the sufficiency of risk identification, the balance of potential risk to potential reward, the appropriate manner in which to control risk, and the support of the programs discussed below and their risk to company strategy. The Board implements its risk oversight responsibilities by having management provide periodic briefing and informational sessions on the significant voluntary and involuntary risks that UpHealth faces and how UpHealth is seeking to control risk if and when appropriate. In some cases, as with risks of new technology and risks related to product acceptance, risk oversight is addressed as part of the full Board’s engagement with the CEO and management. In other cases, a Board committee is responsible for oversight of specific risk topics. For example, the Audit Committee oversees issues related to internal control over financial reporting and significant pending and threatened litigation, and the Compensation Committee oversees risks related to compensation programs, as discussed in greater detail below. The Board has also established a Compliance Committee to address healthcare regulatory and other compliance risk issues. Presentations and other information for the Board and Board committees generally identify and discuss relevant risk and risk control, and the Board members assess and oversee the risks as a part of their review of the related business, financial, or other activity of UpHealth. The full Board also receives specific reports on enterprise risk management, in which the identification and control of risk are the primary topics of the discussion.

Executive Sessions

UpHealth regularly has executive sessions of the Board where members of management and members of the Board who are employees of the Company are not in attendance. The Chairman of the Board, Dr. Avi S. Katz, has presided at these executive sessions. Any party wishing to make their concerns known to non-management or independent directors of the Board may contact Drs. Katz and Raluca Dinu and Ms. Agnès Rey-Giraud at the following email address: independentdirectors@uphealthinc.com.

Meetings of the Board and Committees

The Board held 15 meetings during the period between the closing of the Business Combinations on June 9, 2021, when the current Board that was elected at the June 4, 2021 stockholder meeting that approved the consummation of the Business Combinations that formed UpHealth commenced service, to December 31, 2021. The Board currently has four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate GovernanceCommittee and a Compliance Committee. During our last fiscal year, each of our incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and all of the committees of the Board on which such director served during that period.

Even if the appointment is ratified, our Board may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of UpHealth and its stockholders.

For this Annual Meeting, a representative of BPM is expected to be present, with the opportunity to make a statement if the representative desires to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Change of Auditors in November 2022

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022, on November 9, 2022, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of BPM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022, effective immediately. BPM previously served as the independent registered public accounting firm of GigCapital2, Inc., the Company’s legal predecessor (“GigCapital2”), from its inception in March 2019 until June 14, 2021, when BPM was replaced by Plante & Moran, PLLC (“Plante & Moran”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Plante & Moran served as the independent registered public accounting firm of UpHealth Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s accounting predecessor (“UpHealth Holdings”), prior to the closing of the Business Combinations (see “Change of Auditors in June 2021” on page 19 of this Proxy Statement). Plante & Moran, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2021, resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company on November 9, 2022, effective that same day.

The report of Plante & Moran on UpHealth’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the subsequent interim period through the date of Plante & Moran’s resignation on November 9, 2022, there were no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) between the Company and Plante & Moran on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Plante & Moran, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the subsequent interim period through the date of Plante & Moran’s resignation on November 9, 2022, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), other than for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2022, respectively, we reported material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting related to: (i) lack of appropriately designed entity-level controls impacting the control environment and monitoring activities to

prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements; (ii) lack of appropriately designed information technology general controls in the areas of user access and segregation of duties, including controls over the recording of journal entries and safeguarding of assets, related to certain information technology systems that support our financial reporting process; and (iii) lack of appropriately designed and implemented controls over the following: (1) recording of revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers at certain subsidiaries due to errors in our revenue recognition pertaining to the determination of whether a contract exists, the identification of performance obligations, and the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized; (2) completeness of accruals in the purchase to disbursement process and the payroll process at certain subsidiaries; (3) segregation of duties and monitoring controls over the treasury cycle at certain subsidiaries; (4) financial statement close process at certain subsidiaries to ensure the consistent execution, accuracy, and timely review of account reconciliations; and (5) financial statement preparation process that involves the use of a spreadsheet and manually consolidating all subsidiaries. The Audit Committee has discussed the subject matter of each of these “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) with Plante and Moran, and the Company has authorized Plante & Moran to respond fully to the inquiries of the Company’s newly engaged independent registered public accounting firm (as discussed above) concerning the subject matter of each such “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim period through the date of the Company’s engagement of BPM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on November 9, 2022, the Company (or its accounting predecessor) did not consult with BPM regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the consolidated financial statements of the Company (or its accounting predecessor), and no written report or oral advice was provided that BPM concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).

Change of Auditors in June 2021

As previously reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 15, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the appointment of Plante & Moran as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, BPM, the independent registered public accounting firm since 2019 of GigCapital2, was informed on June 14, 2021 that it would be replaced by Plante & Moran as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.

The report of BPM on GigCapital2’s balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 (as restated) and the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 (as restated), did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such audit report contained explanatory paragraphs in which BPM expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and indicated that the 2020 financial statements had been restated to correct misstatements.

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through the date of BPM’s dismissal on June 14, 2021, there were no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) between the Company and BPM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BPM, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through the date of BPM’s dismissal on June 14, 2021, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), other than for the year ended December 31, 2020, GigCapital2 reported a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting related to mistakes in its accounting for warrants issued in connection with a private placement. The Audit Committee of GigCapital2 discussed the subject matter of this “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) with BPM, and the Company authorized BPM to respond fully to the inquiries of Plante & Moran concerning its subject matter.

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through the date of the Company’s appointment of Plante & Moran as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on June 14, 2021, the Company did not consult with Plante & Moran regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the consolidated financial statements of GigCapital2, and no written report or oral advice was provided that Plante & Moran concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).

Policy on Board Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of the Independent Auditors

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee shall review and, in its sole discretion, pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm as provided under the Audit Committee charter.

The Audit Committee has determined that all services performed by Plante & Moran and BPM are compatible with maintaining the independence of Plante & Moran and BPM. The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to approve permitted services provided that the Chairman reports any decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval process.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not have any effect on the outcome of the proposal. If the stockholders do not approve the ratification of BPM as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BPM as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee currently consists of three directors, each of whom, in the judgment of the Board, is an “independent director” as defined in the listing standards of the NYSE. The Audit Committee acts pursuant to a written charter that has been adopted by the Board. A copy of the charter is available on UpHealth’s website at https://investors.uphealthinc.com/governance/governance-documents/.

The Audit Committee is responsible for retaining UpHealth’s independent registered public accounting firm, evaluating its independence, qualifications and performance, and approving in advance the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for all audit and non-audit services. Management has the primary responsibility for the consolidated financial statements and the financial reporting process, including internal controls, and procedures designed to insure compliance with allapplicable laws and regulations. UpHealth’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, Plante & Moran, is responsible for expressing an opinion as to the conformity of our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management UpHealth’s audited consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed under the rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). In addition, the Audit Committee has met with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the overall scope of the independent registered public accounting firm’s audit, the results of its examinations, its evaluations of UpHealth’s internal controls and the overall quality of UpHealth’s financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the rulesPCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and regulationshas discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Our Board has approved, and is seeking stockholder approval of, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to combine the outstanding shares of our Common Stock into a lesser number of outstanding shares (a “Reverse Stock Split”), at a specific ratio within a range of 4:1 to 10:1 to be fixed by the Board.

On September 29, 2022, our Board unanimously determined that the Amendment is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and recommended that our stockholders approve the Amendment. In accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, we are hereby seeking approval of the Amendment by our stockholders.

No other changes to the Charter are being proposed. The presidingfull text of the proposed Amendment is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

Reverse Stock Split

If approved by our stockholders, this proposal would permit (but not require) the Board to effect a Reverse Stock Split of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, at a specific ratio within a range of 4:1 to 10:1, with the specific ratio to be fixed within this range by the Board in its sole discretion without further stockholder approval. We believe that enabling the Board to fix the specific ratio of the Reverse Stock Split within the stated range will provide us with the flexibility to implement it in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for our stockholders.

In fixing the ratio, the Board may consider, among other things, factors such as: the initial and continued listing requirements of the NYSE; the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding; potential financing opportunities; and prevailing general market and economic conditions.

The Reverse Stock Split, if approved by our stockholders, would become effective upon the filing of the Amendment to our Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”). Such filing is expected to occur promptly after stockholder approval of this proposal, with the exact timing of the Amendment to be determined by the Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to our Company and our stockholders. In addition, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to abandon the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders to proceed.

The Amendment to our Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split will include the Reverse Stock Split ratio fixed by the Board, within the range approved by our stockholders.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

The Board’s primary reasons for approving and recommending the Reverse Stock Split are to increase the per share price of the Company’s Common Stock to comply with the minimum share price requirement of the continued listing standards of the NYSE.

Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock should, absent other factors, generally increase the per share market price of the Common Stock. Although the intent of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the price of our Common Stock, there can be no assurance that even if the Reverse Stock Split is effected, that the share price of the Company’s Common Stock will be sufficient, over time, for the Company to maintain compliance with the NYSE minimum share price requirement.

Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock through the Reverse Stock Split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of our Common Stock. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our Common Stock will increase following the Reverse Stock Split, that as a result of the Reverse Stock Split we will be able to meet or maintain a share price over the minimum average share price required by the NYSE or that the market price of our Common Stock will not decrease in the future. Additionally, we cannot assure you that the market price per share of our Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.

Potential Effects of the Proposed Amendment to Effect a Reverse Stock Split

If our stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split and the Board effects it, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced, depending upon the ratio determined by the Board. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of our Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except that, as described below under “Fractional Shares,” record holders of Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the Reverse Stock Split ratio will automatically be entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock to round up to the next whole share. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder’s proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares).

The Reverse Stock Split will not change the terms of the Common Stock. Additionally, the Reverse Stock Split will have no effect on the number of shares of Common Stock that we are authorized to issue. After the Reverse Stock Split, the shares of Common Stock will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the Common Stock now authorized. The Common Stock will remain fully paid and non-assessable.

After the Effective Time, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act.

Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock

Our registered holders of Common Stock hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the Common Stock. They are, however, provided with statements reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.

Stockholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to take action to receive evidence of their shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock.

Holders of Certificated Shares of Common Stock

From and after the Effective Time, each holder of certificate(s) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of our Common Stock (the “Old Certificates”), shall be entitled to receive certificate(s) representing the shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by such Old Certificates are reclassified pursuant to the Amendment.

Stockholders holding shares of our Common Stock in certificated form will be sent a letter of transmittal by the transfer agent after the Effective Time. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how a stockholder

may surrender his, her or its OldCertificates to the transfer agent. Unless a stockholder specifically requests a new paper certificate or holds restricted shares, upon the stockholder’s surrender of his, her or its Old Certificates to the transfer agent, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, the transfer agent will register the appropriate number of shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock electronically in book-entry form and provide the stockholder with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in the stockholder’s account. No stockholder will be required to pay a transfer or other fee to exchange his, her or its Old Certificates. Until surrendered, each Old Certificate will continue to be valid and represent the number of shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock into which such shares of Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to the Amendment, excluding any fractional shares. Any Old Certificates submitted for exchange, whether because of a sale, transfer or other disposition of stock, will automatically be exchanged for the appropriate number of shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock. If an Old Certificate has a restrictive legend on its reverse side, a new certificate will be issued with the same restrictive legend on its reverse side.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Fractional Shares

We will not issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the Reverse Stock Split ratio will automatically be entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock to round up to the next whole share. In any event, cash will not be paid for fractional shares.

Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Outstanding Stock Options and Warrants

Based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio, proportionate adjustments are generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants. This would result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options or warrants upon exercise, and approximately the same value of shares of Common Stock being delivered upon such exercise immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities will be reduced proportionately based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio.

Accounting Matters

The proposed Amendment to our Charter will not affect the par value of our Common Stock. As a result, at the Effective Time, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to the Common Stock will be reduced in the same proportion as the Reverse Stock Split ratio, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss will be restated for prior periods to conform to the post-Reverse Stock Split presentation.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following summary describes, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to U.S. holders of our Common Stock, as defined below. For purposes of this summary, a U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is:

an individual citizen or resident of the United States, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

a trust, if: (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons has the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (ii) it was in existence before August 20, 1996 and a valid election is in place under applicable Treasury regulations to treat such trust as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

This summary is based on the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of the date of this Proxy Statement, and all of which are subject to change. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. We have not obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of legal or tax counsel with respect to the consequences of the Reverse Stock Split and do not intend to do so. This summary is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts will accept the positions expressed herein.

This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular investor, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers or to certain classes of taxpayers or that are generally assumed to be known by investors. This summary also does not address the tax consequences to persons that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, including banks, insurance companies, thrift institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, U.S. expatriates, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, partnerships or other pass-through entities, traders in securities that elect to mark to market and dealers in securities or currencies, persons that hold our Common Stock as part of a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging transaction,” “conversion transaction” or other integrated investment transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, non-U.S. persons, shareholders who acquired their shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, holders of interests other than Common Stock, including options or warrants, or persons that do not hold our Common Stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment). This summary does not address U.S. backup withholding and information reporting. This summary does not address U.S. holders who beneficially own Common Stock through a “foreign financial institution” (as defined in Code Section 1471(d)(4)) or certain other non-U.S. entities specified in Code Section 1472. This summary does not address tax considerations arising under any state, local or non-U.S. laws, or under U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws.

If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our Common Stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold our Common Stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

Each holder should consult his, her or its own tax advisors concerning the particular U.S. federal tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split, as well as the consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction, including any non-U.S., state, or local income tax consequences

General U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code that should constitute a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as a reorganization, a U.S. holder generally should not recognize income, gain, or loss upon the exchange of shares of our Common Stock for a lesser number of shares of our Common Stock, based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio, except potentially to the extent of the value of any additional fraction of a share of our Common Stock received by a U.S. holder due to rounding up in lieu of issuance of fractional shares of our Common Stock, as described above under “Fractional Shares”. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving any

additional fraction of a share of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share is unclear. A U.S. holder could recognize gain to the extent, if any, that the value of any additional fraction of a share of our Common Stock received solely in lieu of issuance of fractional shares, on a per share basis, exceeds the U.S. holder’s per share basis in its shares of Common Stock held immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, excluding the additional fraction of a share. A U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the lesser number of shares of our Common Stock received in the Reverse Stock Split generally should be the same as such U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of our Common Stock that such U.S. holder owned immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, except potentially to the extent that any gain is recognized with respect to an additional fraction of a share of our Common Stock received solely as a result of rounding up. The holding period for the shares of our Common Stock received in the Reverse Stock Split generally should include the period during which a U.S. holder held the shares of our Common Stock that were surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split, except that any additional fraction of a share of our Common Stock received as a result of rounding up in lieu of issuance of fractional shares may have a new holding period starting on or immediately after the date of the Reverse Stock Split. The Treasury regulations provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of shares exchanged in a reorganization, and U.S. holders should consult their personal tax advisors regarding such allocation. In addition, U.S. holders of shares of our Common Stock acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares.

THE FOREGOING IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT TO U.S. HOLDERS, AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A TAX OPINION. EACH HOLDER OF OUR COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT TO IT.

Interests of Officers and Directors in this Proposal

Our officers and directors do not have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in this proposal.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock is required to approve this proposal to amend the Charter to effect a Reverse Stock Split of our Common Stock. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not have any effect on the outcome of the proposal.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” this Proposal No. 3 to approve the Amendment to the Charter to effect a Reverse Stock Split of our Common Stock, at a specific ratio within a range of 4:1 to 10:1 to be fixed by the Board.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion and analysis of our executive compensation philosophy, objectives and design, our compensation-setting process, the components of our executive compensation program, and the decisions made for compensation in respect of 2021 for our executive officers should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth below. The discussion in this section contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current considerations and expectations relating to our executive compensation programs and philosophy.

Overview

This section provides an overview of our executive compensation program, including a narrative description of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table below. It is important to note that for the period leading up to the Business Combinations in June 2021, the compensation of our named executive officers was determined by and paid in connection with services provided to UpHealth Holdings and that many of these compensation arrangements remained in place post-Business Combinations as our Compensation Committee was constituted at the time of the Business Combinations in June 2021 and then took steps to engage an independent compensation consultant, develop a peer group and benchmarking, evaluate the existing programs previously implemented by UpHealth Holdings against such benchmarking and develop a framework for both short term incentive plans and long term incentive plans going forward. Accordingly, a portion of the compensation matters discussed in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis are the compensation arrangements that were in place at the time of the Business Combinations.

Given the above, we view fiscal year 2021 as having been a transition year. As such, in evaluating our overall executive compensation program and decisions, including payouts and awards under our compensation programs, the Compensation Committee considered a number of factors, including the achievement of both strategic enterprise and financial objectives and the position of our company in fiscal year 2021 as a newly public, high growth, transformational company. On a going forward basis, the Compensation Committee expects to make any determinations as it relates to the payout of the previous year’s compensation programs as well as the adoption of any performance measures for the current fiscal year. This allows the Compensation Committee to have a good understanding of the prior fiscal year financial performance in order to evaluate the performance of the named executive officers against previously adopted performance measures as well as develop plans and performance metrics based on the annual operating plan for the current fiscal year.

Our current named executive officers (each, an “NEO”) are:

During the 2022 fiscal year, we have made changes to who are the NEOs from those who were NEOs for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. On July 11, 2022, Mr. Meckey joined the Company as its new CEO. That same day, Dr. Balakrishnan transitioned to his new role as President and Chief Strategy Officer of the Company.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Following the consummation of the Business Combinations, UpHealth has developed an executive compensation program that is consistent with the compensation policies and philosophies of the Compensation Committee and the Board, which are designed to align compensation with the Company’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder meetingvalue, while enabling UpHealth to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to its long-term success. Decisions on the executive compensation program are made by the Compensation Committee.

The objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program are to encourage retention and recruitment of high-performing executives, to motivate employees and align executive interests across the organization and with the Company’s stockholders, to reward sustainable financial performance, accountability and innovation, to create consistence with UpHealth’s strategy and culture (mission, vision and values) and to balance innovation and performance with risk. In setting executive compensation in 2021 following the consummation of the Business Combinations, the Compensation Committee took into account the Company’s strategy, culture and stage in defining plan feature tradeoffs while considering a framework for enhancements and changes in the 2022 fiscal year. The Compensation Committee also looked to manage exceptions to its approach based upon existing contractual commitments at the time of the Business Combinations and the individual profiles of various members of the Company’s management.

Decisions regarding executive compensation reflect a belief that the executive compensation program must be competitive in order to attract and retain highly competent executive officers as well as include a significant element of “pay for performance.” Total compensation will be comprised of base salary, short-term incentive and long-term incentive. A significant portion of compensation for the members of management of the Company is tied to annual performance objectives. All elements of the compensation are defined in absolute dollar values. Further, the Compensation Committee seeks to tie our executive compensation levels to the compensation practices of our peer companies. The targeted percentile for the total compensation is 50% of the peer group compensation and will be implemented over a 3-year period, to take into account the maturity and evolution of the Company.

Base Salary

Base salaries for our NEOs are established based on the individual’s scope of responsibilities, experience, and market factors. The base salary is an annual total cash salary paid over 12 months in equal amounts. The Compensation Committee typically reviews base salaries on an annual basis, referencing peer group and survey data to understand the marketplace for individuals in similar positions. No formulaic base salary increases are provided to our NEOs; however, annual merit increases are provided when the Compensation Committee determines that such increases are warranted in light of national salary increase levels, salary levels within companies in our peer group, individual performance and/or overall company performance. We pay base salaries to attract, recruit and retain qualified employees. The base salaries for 2021 for our NEOs take into account the initial base amount set forth in the executive’s respective employment agreement or employment offer letter, as applicable, and the scope of the executive’s responsibilities, individual contributions, prior experience and sustained performance and will be retroactive to the date the person assumed the role and no earlier than the closing of the Business Combinations in June 2021.

The base salaries of our NEOs for 2021 were as follows:

Executive & Title

  2021 Base Salary 

Dr. Ramesh Balakrishnan

  $408,000 

Martin S. A. Beck

  $350,000 

Dr. Alfonso W. Gatmaitan

  $300,000 

Samuel J. Meckey(1)

  $—

Mr. Meckey was not employed by the Company in 2021, and thus was not an NEO at that time and did not receive any salary in the 2021 fiscal year.

Annual Bonuses

UpHealth uses annual cash incentive bonuses for the NEOs to tie a portion of their compensation to financial and operational objectives achievable within the applicable fiscal year. The annual cash incentive bonus is expressed as a percentage of an individual’s base salary. For the 2021 fiscal year, the bonus value was prorated to the consummation of the Business Combinations in June 2021. The Compensation Committee set the performance targets using four financial metrics for the 2021 fiscal year: net revenue in dollar amount; gross margin percentage; adjusted EBITDA; and free cash flow. Determination of the achievement of the targets is based upon the full year financial results following the completion of the audit of the Company’s financial statements. Following the end of the year, the Compensation Committee determined the extent to which the performance targets were achieved and the amount of the award that is payable to the NEOs. For the NEOs, performance is measured at an aggregated level, and no bonuses were earned as a result of the performance targets not being achieved.

For the 2022 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee has added a fifth measurement criteria – the Company’s organizational health index – for purposes of setting the aggregate corporate performance goals for the annual bonus pool. Furthermore, members of management hired prior to October 1 of the fiscal year will have their annual bonuses prorated for their first year from the date of hire.

Equity-Based Awards

UpHealth uses equity-based awards to reward long-term performance of the NEOs. UpHealth believes that providing a meaningful portion of the total compensation package in the form of equity-based awards aligns the incentives of its NEOs with the interests of its stockholders and serves to motivate and retain the individual NEOs. Any awards would be made in accordance with the executive compensation program discussed above. UpHealth is currently using restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to encourage long term performance. Each award of RSUs will be separated into those that vest over time and those which will vest based on performance using, for the 2021 fiscal year, the same performance metrics as are used for determining achievement of the annual cash incentive bonus. For the NEOs, the performance metrics for vesting of RSUs subject to performance were not achieved in fiscal year 2021.

Other Compensation

UpHealth maintains various employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, life insurance and 401(k) plans, in which the NEOs will participate. It also provides certain perquisites to its named executive officers, subject to the Compensation Committee’s ongoing review.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code denies a federal income tax deduction for certain compensation in excess of $1.0 million per year paid to the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the three other most highly paid executive officers of a publicly traded corporation, and anyone previously subject to Section 162(m) as a covered employee for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016. It is the policy of UpHealth to consider the tax impact of its compensation arrangements as one factor, among others, in evaluating and determining the structure, implementation, and amount of awards paid to its executive officers. However, to retain highly skilled executives and remain competitive with other employers, the Compensation Committee may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of your proposalauthorize compensation that would not be deductible under Section 162(m) or otherwise if it determines that such compensation is in the best interests of the company and its stockholders, and maintaining tax deductibility will not be the sole consideration taken into account in determining what compensation arrangements are in our and our stockholders’ best interests. The right to grant compensation that is not madedeductible is expressly reserved, and UpHealth may do so.

Summary Compensation Table

The table below sets forth the annual compensation levels of the NEOs for 2021, who as a smaller reporting company consist of the principal executive officer who serves as CEO of UpHealth, and the next two most highly compensated executive officers. The compensation totals and individual amounts reflect the compensation of such officers by UpHealth as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. In fiscal year 2022, such totals and amounts may change based on, among other things, changes to the terms of the employment of such persons.

Consists of RSUs that are “Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards.” Provided that the recipient’s continued service has not terminated prior to the applicable determination upon filing with the SEC on an Annual Report on Form 10-K of the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 (each an “Audit Filing Date”), the number of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards (disregarding any resulting fractional RSU) that are vested shall cumulatively increase three business days following the respective Audit Filing Date as follows:

(A) Up to 120% of 1/3 of the Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards shall be allocated to become vested based upon the achievement by the Company of the following financial metrics using targets set by the Board in 2021 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 on a pro forma consolidated basis based upon such audit:

1) Total Revenue – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the low threshold is set as 90% of target, and the high threshold is set as 120% of target.

2) Gross Margin – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the low threshold is set as the target minus 2%, and the high threshold is set as the target plus 2%.

3) Adjusted EBITDA – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the low threshold is set as 90% of target, and the high threshold is set as 120% of target.

4) Free Cash Flow – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the low threshold is set as 90% of target, and the high threshold is set as 120% of target.

(B) Up to 120% of 1/3 of the Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards shall be allocated to become vested based upon the achievement by the Company of the following financial metrics using targets set by the Board in 2022 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 on a consolidated basis based upon such audit:

1) Total Revenue – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved.

2) Gross Margin – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved.

3) Adjusted EBITDA – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved.

(C) Up to 120% of 1/3 of the Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards, but no more than the total number of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards minus the number of previously Vested Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards shall be allocated to become vested based upon the achievement by the Company of the following financial metrics using targets set by the Board in 2023 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 on a consolidated basis based upon such audit and the cumulative achievement of the performance for the three fiscal years 2021-2023, with the greater of such performance determining how many of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards shall become vested:

1) Total Revenue – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved.

2) Gross Margin – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved.

3) Adjusted EBITDA – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved.

4) Free Cash Flow – 1/4 of the allocated amount of Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards if the target is achieved; 80% of such 1/4 of the allocated amount if the low threshold is achieved; 120% of such 1/4 amount if the high threshold is achieved.

(2)

The necessary targets for achievement of the vesting for the 2021 fiscal year of the Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards did not occur, and as a result, 1/3 of such Performance-Based Vesting Equity Awards were not vested since the end of the 2021 fiscal year.

(3)

The market value of RSU awards that have not vested is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying the RSUs that have not vested by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on December 31, 2021, which was $2.24.

(4)

Includes 4,091,807 RSUs awarded in accord with the terms of the UpHealth Business Combination Agreement. Such awards were to vest on the earlier of (i) June 9, 2022, (ii) the date on which the last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the closing date of the business combination pursuant to the UpHealth Business Combination Agreement, or (iii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. All such awards vested on June 9, 2022. The remaining 388,601 RSUs are “Time-Based Vesting Equity Awards,” of which 1/3 vested on May 1, 2022 (the “Initial Vesting Date”), 1/3 vested on August 1, 2022, and the remaining 1/3 vested on November 1, 2022.

(5)

Consists of RSUs that are “Time-Based Vesting Equity Awards,” of which 1/3 vested on the Initial Vesting Date, 1/3 vested on August 1, 2022, and the remaining 1/3 vested on November 1, 2022.

(6)

On January 10, 2022, Dr. Gatmaitan submitted his resignation from his position as Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective immediately. Pursuant to the terms of a Separation Agreement entered into between the Company and Dr. Gatmaitan, RSUs for 103,627 shares of the total of 310,881 RSUs then held by Dr. Gatmaitan were deemed not terminated and forfeited by Dr. Gatmaitan upon his resignation and were instead vested in February 2022 into shares of stock of the Company. As a result, following such vesting and forfeiture, Dr. Gatmaitan no longer holds any unvested RSUs.

(7)

On July 11, 2022, Samuel J. Meckey joined the Company as its CEO, effective that same day, and was appointed by the Board as a Class I director of the Company. Mr. Meckey was not employed by the Company during the 2021 fiscal year, and as such did not hold any equity-based awards as of December 31, 2021.

Employment Arrangements with Named Executive Officers

Employment Agreement with Dr. Ramesh Balakrishnan

On October 23, 2021, UpHealth entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Balakrishnan as its CEO. On July 11, 2022, Dr. Ramesh Balakrishnan transitioned out of his prior role as CEO of the Company. On July 31, 2022, Dr. Balakrishnan and the Company entered into an Amendment to the employment agreement, effective as of July 19, 2022 (the “Amendment”), for Dr. Balakrishnan’s new role as President and Chief Strategy Officer of the Company.

A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her intention to presentfamily, receives improper personal benefits as a proposal at an annual meeting does not appear to presentresult of his or her proposal at such meeting, such proposalposition.

UpHealth’s Audit Committee, pursuant to its written charter, will be disregarded.responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent UpHealth enters into such transactions. The Audit Committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available from an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the Audit Committee with all material information concerning the transaction. UpHealth also requires each of UpHealth’s directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

As originally disclosed in a Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on June 2, 2022, the members of the Stockholder Group formed a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act on May 26, 2022. The Stockholder Group entered into a Voting Agreement, dated May 27, 2022 (the “Voting Agreement”), which confers on Mr. Bray the power to vote all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholder Group pursuant to a bona fide irrevocable proxy. Mr. Bray is therefore deemed the beneficial owner of all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholder Group under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act. The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, unless earlier terminated by the parties in accordance with its terms.

Pursuant to the Stipulation and Order Dismissing All Claims with Prejudice and without Costs or Attorney’s Fees entered by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on August 2, 2022 in the case entitled Jeffery R.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our management team and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such forms, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, there were four delinquent filers. The acquisition of securities by GigAcquisitions2, LLC on each of June 5, 2019, June 13, 2019 and June 9, 2021, for which Neil Miotto was deemed a beneficial owner, were reported by Mr. Miotto on August 16, 2021. They were timely reported by Dr. Avi Katz, who was deemed the other beneficial owner of GigAcquisitions2, LLC. In addition, when Agnès Rey-Giraud joined the Board on June 9, 2021, she beneficially owned 5,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company which she had previously acquired on the open market. Ms. Rey-Giraud reported beneficial ownership of these shares on August 19, 2021. In addition, Dr. Mariya Pylypiv received a grant of RSUs from the Company on October 10, 2021. Ms. Pylypiv reported beneficial ownership of these RSUs on November 19, 2021. Lastly, certain shares of TTC Healthcare Partners, LLC, which are deemed to be consideredbeneficially owned by Martin S.

This procedure reduces duplicate mailings and saves printing costs and postage fees, as well as natural resources.
