Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 26, 2023, Oscar Health, Inc. (the “Company”) and Siddhartha Sankaran agreed that Mr. Sankaran will conclude his role as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer as of August 31, 2023, following the Company’s filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2023. Mr. Sankaran, who serves on the Company’s board of directors and who previously served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer from March 2019 to March 2021, returned to the role on an interim basis in December 2022. Mr. Sankaran and the Company agreed at this time to a transition because Mr. Sankaran will be taking an internationally based executive role later this year that requires advance regulatory approval. He will remain on the Company’s board of directors following the transition. The Company has a number of strong candidates for a permanent Chief Financial Officer and intends to announce Mr. Sankaran’s successor prior to his transition date.
