QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

You received these proxy materials because you owned shares of UHG common stock as of March 18, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting, and our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement describes matters on which we would like you to vote at the Annual Meeting. It also gives you information on these matters so that you can make an informed decision.

Why does the Company need to hold an annual meeting of stockholders?

The Annual Meeting is being held, in part, to satisfy the annual meeting requirement of Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620 states that a listed company must have an annual stockholders’ meeting during each fiscal year. Further, pursuant to Section 211 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), Delaware corporations are required to hold an annual meeting for the election of directors.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting online?

We will host the Annual Meeting at the Company’s offices located at 917 Chapin Road, Chapin, SC 29036. Any stockholder can attend the Annual Meeting in person and submit questions during the meeting.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 11,397,589 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and 36,973,876 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock issued and outstanding. All of these outstanding shares are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on the matters described in this proxy statement.

Each holder of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share of Class A common stock held. Each holder of Class B common stock is entitled to two votes per share of Class B common stock held. The holders of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock shall vote together on any matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders generally. As of the record date, 100% of the Class B common stock was held by Michael Nieri and certain trusts established for the benefit of certain of Mr. Nieri’s family members. Consequently, Mr. Nieri and such trusts possess approximately 86.9% of the voting power of our common equity, and, as a result have the ability to control the result of the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

In accordance with Delaware law, a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be accessible for 10 days before the meeting at our principal place of business, 917 Chapin Road, Chapin, South Carolina, 29036, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time. In addition, during the Annual Meeting that list of stockholders will be available for examination.

How do I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

If on the record date your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, then you are a stockholder of record. Stockholders of record may vote by using the Internet, by telephone or, if you received a proxy card by mail, by mail as described below. Stockholders of record also may attend the Annual Meeting virtually and vote during the Annual Meeting.

•

You may vote by using the Internet.   The address of the website for Internet voting is www.proxyvote.com. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 14, 2024, the day before the Annual Meeting. Easy-to-follow instructions allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

•

You may vote by telephone.   The toll-free telephone number is noted on your proxy card. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 14, 2024, the day before the Annual Meeting. Easy-to-follow voice prompts allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

2

•

You may vote by mail.   If you received a proxy card by mail and choose to vote by mail, simply mark your proxy card, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope. Your proxy card must be received by the close of business on May 14, 2024, the day before the Annual Meeting.

•

You may vote in person.   You may attend the Annual Meeting in person and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting.

When you vote by any of the above methods, you appoint Keith Feldman, our Chief Financial Officer, and Erin Reeves McGinnis, our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, as your representatives (or proxyholders) at the Annual Meeting. By doing so, you ensure that your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. The proxyholders will vote your shares at the Annual Meeting as you have instructed them.

In addition, the proxyholders, in their discretion, are further authorized to vote (a) for the election of a person to the Board if a nominee named in this proxy statement becomes unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, (b) on any matter that the Board did not know would be presented at the Annual Meeting by a reasonable time before the proxy solicitation was made and (c) on other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

If you hold shares through a bank or broker (i.e., in “street name”), please refer to your proxy card or other information forwarded by your bank or broker to see which voting options are available to you.

The method you use to vote will not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you decide to attend. If you desire to vote at the Annual Meeting and hold your shares in “street name,” however, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote virtually at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote at the Annual Meeting?

We will be hosting the Annual Meeting at the Company’s offices located at 917 Chapin Road, Chapin, SC 29036. Any stockholder can attend the Annual Meeting in person. If you were a stockholder as of the record date, or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting, you can vote at the Annual Meeting.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the stockholder of record of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

•

You may submit a subsequent proxy by using the Internet, by telephone or by mail with a later date;

•

You may deliver a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to the Corporate Secretary of United Homes Group, Inc. at 917 Chapin Road, Chapin, South Carolina, 29036; or

•

You may attend the Annual Meeting in person and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Simply attending the Annual Meeting without affirmatively voting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If you are a beneficial owner of your shares, you must contact the broker or other nominee holding your shares and follow their instructions for changing your vote.

Will there be a question and answer session during the Annual Meeting?

As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a Question and Answer (“Q&A”) session, during which we intend to answer questions from stockholders present at the Annual Meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, as time permits. Only stockholders of record as of the record date will be permitted to submit questions during the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are, among other things:

•

irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Annual Meeting;

•

related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K;

3

•

related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation;

•

related to personal grievances;

•

derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise in bad taste;

•

substantially repetitious of questions already made by another stockholder; or

•

out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting as determined by the chairman of the Annual Meeting or Secretary in their reasonable judgment.

Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the “Rules of Conduct,” copies of which will be available for review at the Annual Meeting.

How many votes do you need to hold the Annual Meeting?

Under our Amended and Restated Bylaws, a quorum will be present if the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting is represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 48,371,465 shares of common stock entitled to 85,345,341 votes in the aggregate. Therefore, for us to have a quorum, shares entitled to 42,672,671 votes must be represented by stockholders present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy. The holders of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on each of the proposals in this proxy statement.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you attend the Annual Meeting in person and vote at that time. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present, the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present or represented, will have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present or represented.

What matters will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

The following matters are scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

•

Proposal 1: To re-elect two Class I directors nominated by our Board and named in this proxy statement to serve until our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders; and

•

Proposal 2: To ratify the appointment of FORVIS, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024.

No cumulative voting rights are authorized, and appraisal or dissenters’ rights are not applicable to these matters.

What will happen if I do not vote my shares?

Stockholder of Record:   Shares Registered in Your Name. If you are the stockholder of record of your shares and you do not vote by proxy card, by telephone, via the Internet or virtually at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner:   Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank. Brokers, banks or other nominees who hold shares of our common stock or preferred stock for a beneficial owner in “street name” have the discretion to vote on “routine” proposals when they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner at least 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have the discretion to direct the voting of the shares. Under the rules that govern brokers that are voting shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote those shares on routine matters but not on non-routine matters. Proposal 2 is the only routine matter in this proxy statement. Therefore, your broker has the discretion to vote your shares on Proposal 2 but does not have discretion to vote your shares on Proposal 1.

We encourage you to provide instructions to your bank or brokerage firm by voting your proxy. This action ensures your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your wishes.

4

How may I vote for each proposal and what is the vote required for each proposal?

Proposal 1: Re-election of Class I directors.

With respect to the election of the nominees for director, you may:

•

vote FOR the election of the two nominees for director;

•

WITHHOLD your vote for the two nominees for director; or

•

vote FOR the election of the two nominees for director except for one or more particular nominees.

Directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, meaning that in order to elect a director, the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that director’s election. Only votes cast FOR a nominee will be counted. An instruction to WITHHOLD authority to vote for a nominee will result in the nominee receiving fewer votes but will not count as a vote against the nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal 2: Ratification of the appointment of FORVIS, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024.

You may vote FOR or AGAINST or ABSTAIN from voting on Proposal 2. For Proposal 2 to be approved, we must receive a FOR vote from the holders of a majority of all those outstanding shares that (a) are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and (b) are cast either affirmatively or negatively on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will not be counted FOR or AGAINST Proposal 2 and will have no effect on the proposal.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board recommends that you vote FOR each director nominee and FOR Proposal 2.

What happens if I sign and return my proxy card but do not provide voting instructions?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted:

•

Proposal 1: FOR the re-election of each nominee for director; and

•

Proposal 2: FOR the ratification of the appointment of FORVIS, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

We do not know of any other matters that may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. The proxyholders, in their discretion, are further authorized to vote (a) for the election of a person to the Board if a nominee named in this proxy statement becomes unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, (b) on any matter that the Board did not know would be presented at the Annual Meeting by a reasonable time before the proxy solicitation was made and (c) on other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

What happens if a director nominee is unable to stand for election?

If a nominee is unable to stand for election, the Board may either:

•

reduce the number of directors that serve on the Board; or

•

designate a substitute nominee.

If the Board designates a substitute nominee, the proxyholders will exercise their discretion as described above and vote for the substitute nominee.

5

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

The accompanying proxy is being solicited by the Board. In addition to this solicitation, our officers, directors and employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Officers, directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. In addition, we may also retain one or more third parties to aid in the solicitation of brokers, banks and institutional and other stockholders. We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What happens if the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned?

Unless the polls have closed or you have revoked your proxy, your proxy will still be in effect and may be voted once the Annual Meeting is reconvened. However, you will still be able to change or revoke your proxy with respect to any proposal until the polls have closed for voting on that proposal.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC no later than four business days following the conclusion of the Annual Meeting.

How can I find UHG’s proxy materials and Annual Report on the Internet?

This proxy statement and the Annual Report are available at our corporate website at www.unitedhomesgroup.com. You also can obtain copies without charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additionally, in accordance with SEC rules, you may access these materials at www.proxyvote.com.

How do I obtain a separate set of UHG’s proxy materials if I share an address with other stockholders?

In some cases, stockholders holding their shares in a brokerage or bank account who share the same surname and address and have not given contrary instructions receive only one copy of the proxy materials. This practice is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save printing and postage costs as well as natural resources. If you would like to have a separate copy of the proxy statement or the Annual Report mailed to you or to receive separate copies of future mailings, please submit your request to the address or phone number that appears on your proxy card. We will deliver such additional copies promptly upon receipt of such request.

In other cases, stockholders receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials at the same address may wish to receive only one. If you would like to receive only one copy if you now receive more than one, please submit your request to the address or phone number that appears on your proxy card.

Can I receive future proxy materials and annual reports electronically?

Yes. This proxy statement and the Annual Report are available at our corporate website at www.unitedhomesgroup.com. Instead of receiving paper copies in the mail, stockholders can elect to receive an email that provides a link to our future annual reports and proxy materials on the Internet. Opting to receive your proxy materials electronically will save us the cost of producing and mailing documents to your home or business, will reduce the environmental impact of our annual meetings and will give you an automatic link to the proxy voting site.

Who can I contact if I have any questions?

If you have any questions, would like additional UHG proxy materials or proxy cards, or need assistance in voting your shares, please contact Investor Relations, United Homes Group, Inc., by mail at 917 Chapin Road, Chapin, South Carolina, 29036, by telephone at (844) 776-4663 or by email at investors@unitedhomesgroup.com.

Can I submit a proposal for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2025 annual meeting?

Our stockholders may submit proper proposals (other than the nomination of directors) for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders by submitting

6

their proposals in writing to the Secretary of UHG in a timely manner. To be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholder proposals must:

otherwise comply with the requirements of Delaware law, Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and our Amended and Restated Bylaws.

If we change the date of the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders by more than 30 days from the anniversary of this year’s Annual Meeting, stockholder proposals must be received a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials for the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.

Can I submit a nomination for director candidates and proposals not intended for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2025 annual meeting?

Our stockholders who wish to (a) nominate persons for election to the Board at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders or (b) present a proposal at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, but who do not intend for such proposal to be included in our proxy materials for such meeting, must deliver written notice of the nomination or proposal to United Homes Group, Inc., at 917 Chapin Road, Chapin, South Carolina, 29036, Attention: Corporate Secretary, no earlier than December 5, 2024 and no later than January 4, 2025. However, if the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders is held earlier than March 5, 2025 or later than May 4, 2025, nominations and proposals must be received no later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 90th day prior to the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and (b) the 10th day following the day we first publicly announce the date of the 2025 annual meeting. The stockholder’s written notice must include certain information concerning the stockholder and each nominee and proposal, as specified in our Amended and Restated Bylaws.

Where can I obtain a copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws?

A copy of our amended and restated bylaw provisions governing the notice requirements set forth above may be obtained by writing to the Secretary of the Company. A current copy of our Amended and Restated Bylaws is also available at our corporate website at www.unitedhomesgroup.com.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Independent Directors

The Board has determined that each of the directors (other than Mr. Nieri, Mr. O’Grady, and Mr. Bland) qualifies as an independent director, as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Rules (the “Nasdaq Listing Rules”), and the Board consists of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq Listing Rules relating to director independence requirements. In addition, UHG is subject to the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications, and operations of the Audit Committee, as discussed below.

Board Committees

The Board has four standing committees: an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”), a nominating and corporate governance committee (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) and the related party transactions committee (the “Related Party Transactions Committee”). Each of the committees report to the Board. While the Audit Committee has primary responsibility for risk oversight, both the Audit Committee and the entire Board are actively involved in risk oversight on behalf of the Company, and both receive reports on the Company’s risk management activities from the Company’s executive management team on a regular basis. The members of both the Audit Committee and the Board also engage in periodic discussions with the Company’s executive management team and other senior officers as they deem appropriate to ensure that risk is being properly managed at the Company. In addition, it is expected that each committee of the Board will consider risks associated with its respective area of responsibility.

Each current member of each committee of the Board qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules described above and SEC rules and regulations. Each committee of the Board has a written charter approved by the Board. Copies of the charters for our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are posted in the “Investors” section of our website at www.unitedhomesgroup.com. The inclusion of our website address in this proxy statement does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this proxy statement.

15

compensation arrangements. In addition, our Compensation Committee administers the United Homes Group, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), including granting stock options or awarding shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units or to our directors and executive officers. Our Compensation Committee also reviews and approves employment agreements with executive officers and other compensation policies and matters. Our Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate to its subcommittees such power and authority as it deems appropriate to the extent consistent with our governing documents, laws, regulations or listing standards. See the section entitled “Executive Compensation — Compensation Committee” for more information.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules and our Compensation Committee charter, our Compensation Committee has the authority and responsibility to retain or obtain the advice of compensation consultants, legal counsel and other compensation advisors, the authority to direct the Company to pay such advisors and the responsibility to consider the independence factors specified under applicable law and any additional factors the compensation committee deems relevant.

In 2023, the Compensation Committee retained WealthPoint, LLC (“WealthPoint”) as its external compensation consultant. WealthPoint does not provide any services to the company unrelated to executive or director compensation. The scope of WealthPoint’s work generally includes assisting in the selection of peer companies, providing advice and guidance on the appropriateness and competitiveness of our executive compensation program, providing input on the design of and the awarding of grants under our equity plan, and reviewing the structure and competitiveness of our non-employee director compensation program.

The primary functions of the Compensation Committee include, among other things:

Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and applicable SEC rules, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must consist of all independent members. Mr. Dozier, Dr. Clements, Mr. Hamamoto, and Ambassador Haley meet the independent director standard under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held two meetings in 2023.

The primary functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include, among other things:

•

identifying, reviewing and making recommendations of candidates to serve on the Board;

16

•

evaluating the performance of the Board, committees of the Board and individual directors and determining whether continued service on the Board is appropriate;

•

evaluating nominations by stockholders of candidates for election to the Board;

•

evaluating the current size, composition and organization of the Board and its committees and making recommendations to the Board for approvals;

•

developing a set of corporate governance policies and principles and recommending to the Board any changes to such policies and principles; and

•

reviewing issues and developments related to corporate governance and identifying and bringing to the attention of the Board current and emerging corporate governance trends.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including having a general understanding of our company’s industry and market. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers other factors it deems appropriate.

In evaluating potential nominees to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a wide variety of qualifications, attributes and other factors and recognizes that a diversity of viewpoints and practical experience can enhance the effectiveness of the Board. Accordingly, as part of its evaluation of each candidate, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account that candidate’s background, experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that may complement, supplement or duplicate those of other prospective candidates and current directors.

When there is a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will be responsible for considering various potential candidates for director. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider bona fide candidates from all relevant sources, including current Board members, professional search firms, stockholders and other persons. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will conduct any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will meet to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then select a nominee for recommendation to the Board by majority vote.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders and evaluate them using the same criteria as candidates identified by the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration. If one of our stockholders wishes to recommend a director candidate for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the stockholder recommendation should be delivered to the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at our principal executive offices, and must include information regarding the candidate and the stockholder making the recommendation as required by our Amended and Restated Bylaws. See “Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting — Can I submit a nomination for director candidates and proposals not intended for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2025 annual meeting?” for more information.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying individuals for election as members of the Board, but the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider such factors as it may deem are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Such factors may include the individual’s professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities or attributes.

Related Party Transactions Committee

Our Related Party Transactions Committee consists of Mr. Enoch, Mr. Levine, and Mr. Bayles, with Mr. Enoch serving as the chairperson of the Related Party Transactions Committee. The Board has determined Mr. Enoch, Mr. Levine, and Mr. Bayles each satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq.

Board Meetings and Attendance

The Board held four meetings in 2023. During 2023, each incumbent member of the Board attended 75% or more of the aggregate of (a) the total number of Board meetings held during the period of such member’s service and (b) the total number of meetings of all committees on which such member served, during the period of such member’s service.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

Directors are encouraged, but not required, to attend our annual stockholder meetings. We did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders in 2023. DHHC held a special meeting of its stockholders prior to the Business Combination in March 2023.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our Compensation Committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of either DHHC or GSH. None of our executive officers currently serve, or have served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers that serves as a member of the Board or Compensation Committee of UHG.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Under the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), the Board elects the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Each of these positions may be held by the same person or may be held by different people. Currently, these two offices are held by Mr. Nieri. The Board believes that the Company and its stockholders are best served by having a policy that provides the Board the ability to select the most qualified and appropriate individual to lead the Board as Chairman. The Board also believes it is important to remain flexible when allocating responsibilities among these two offices in a

18

way that best serves the needs of the Company. The Board believes that having Mr. Nieri serve as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer provides an efficient and effective leadership model for the Company. Combining the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles fosters clear accountability, effective decision-making, and alignment on corporate strategy. Because our Chief Executive Officer is also serving as our Chairman, we have designated a lead independent director, Jason Enoch. Mr. Enoch’s service as lead independent director provides an effective independent voice in our leadership structure, encouraging objective oversight of management’s performance and enhancing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole. As lead independent director, Mr. Enoch presides over meetings of our independent directors, serves as a liaison between our Chairman and the independent directors and performs such additional duties as our Board may otherwise determine and delegate

One of the key functions of the Board is informed oversight of UHG’s risk management process. The Board administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and the Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss UHG’s major financial risk exposures and the steps its management should take to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether UHG’s compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Oversight of Cybersecurity Risks

We face a number of risks, including cybersecurity risks and those other risks described under the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024. Our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the steps management has taken with respect to cybersecurity risk exposure. As part of this oversight, our Audit Committee receives regular reports from our management on cybersecurity risk exposure and the actions management has taken to limit, monitor or control such exposures.

Employee, Officer and Director Hedging; Insider Trading; 10b5-1 Plans and Pledging

Our Board has adopted an insider trading policy to promote compliance with federal, state and foreign securities laws that prohibit certain persons who are aware of material nonpublic information about a company from: (i) trading in securities of that company; or (ii) providing material nonpublic information to other persons who may trade on the basis of that information.

Our insider trading policy prohibits our Board members, officers, employees and consultants from engaging in (a) transactions involving options on our securities, such as puts, calls and other derivative securities, whether on an exchange or in any other market, and (b) hedging transactions, such as collars and forward sale contracts. Our insider trading policy also prohibits our Board members, officers, employees and consultants from purchasing Company securities on margin, borrowing against Company securities held in a margin account, or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

Our insider trading policy permits our executive officers and directors to enter into trading plans established according to Section 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. These plans may include specific instructions for a broker to exercise vested options and sell our common stock on behalf of the executive officer or director at certain dates if our stock price is above a specified level or both. Under these plans, the executive officer or director no longer has control over the decision to exercise and sell the securities in the plan, unless he or she amends or terminates the trading plan during a trading window. The purpose of these plans is to enable executive officers and directors to recognize the value of their compensation and diversify their holdings of our stock during periods in which the executive officer or director would be unable to sell our common stock because material information about us had not been publicly released.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or the Code of Ethics, applicable to all of our employees, executive officers and directors. The Code of Ethics is available on the investor relations

19

portion of our website at www.unitedhomesgroup.com. Information contained on or accessible through this website is not a part of this proxy statement, and the inclusion of this website address in this proxy statement is an inactive textual reference only. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of Board is responsible for overseeing the Code of Ethics and must approve any waivers of the Code of Ethics for employees, executive officers and directors. We expect that any amendments to the Code of Ethics, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:

•

for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;

•

for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or

•

for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

The Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we will, in certain situations, indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. An indemnitee is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement and reimbursement of expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by such indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition.

We maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe the indemnification provisions in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Controlled Company

We have a dual class structure which allows Michael Nieri, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, to control a majority of the voting power of our common equity. As a result, we qualify as a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq. Under these rules, a listed company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, specifically director nominees be selected or recommended to the board of directors by independent directors. As of the date of this proxy statement, we do not intend to rely on the controlled company exemptions. However, we may at any time after the date of this proxy statement elect to avail ourselves of one or more of the controlled company exemptions provided that we continue to qualify as a controlled company.

Communications to the Board

Stockholders and other parties interested in communicating with the independent directors regarding their concerns or issues may address correspondence to a particular director or to the independent directors generally, care of United Homes Group, Inc., 917 Chapin Road, Chapin, South Carolina, 29036, Attn: Corporate Secretary. The Corporate Secretary has the authority to disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any inappropriate communications. If the Corporate Secretary deems a communication to be appropriate, she will forward it, depending on the subject matter, to the Chairman of the Board, the chair of a committee of the Board, the full Board or a particular director, as appropriate.

Director Compensation

Decisions regarding the compensation to be paid to the members of our Board, if any, are determined and/or ratified by the Board with recommendations given by the Compensation Committee. Directors’ fees consist of a cash retainer and additional fees for service on a Committee (including in a chairperson capacity), as well as a fee for the Company’s lead independent director. Directors may also receive equity awards from time to time. The directors who also serve as an employee of the Company do not receive additional compensation for their service as a director.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Appointment of FORVIS, LLP

The Audit Committee of the Board has selected FORVIS, LLP (“FORVIS”), an independent registered public accounting firm, as our independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2024, and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent auditors for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. FORVIS has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since April 26, 2023 (the “Audit Change Effective Date”).

Representatives of FORVIS are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Neither our Amended and Restated Bylaws nor other governing documents or laws require stockholder ratification of the appointment of FORVIS as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Audit Committee of the Board is submitting the appointment of FORVIS to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee of the Board will reconsider whether or not to retain FORVIS. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Change in Our Independent Registered Accounting Firm in April 2023

On April 25, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the appointment of FORVIS, effective as of the Audit Change Effective Date, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. FORVIS served as the independent registered public accounting firm of GSH prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the independent registered public accounting firm of DHHC prior to the Business Combination, was informed on April 25, 2023 that it would be replaced by FORVIS as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Marcum’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than including an explanatory paragraph as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the subsequent period through the Auditor Change Effective Date, there were no “disagreements” ​(as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or audit scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Marcum’s satisfaction would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through the Auditor Change Effective Date, there were no “reportable events” ​(as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), other than the material weakness in internal controls identified by management related to the lack of ability to account for certain complex features of the DHHC Class A common stock and warrants issued by the Company, which resulted in the restatement of the Company’s audited balance sheet as of January 28, 2021, and its interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

Required Vote and Recommendation of the Board for Proposal 2

For the selection by the Audit Committee of FORVIS as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2024 to be ratified, we must receive a FOR vote

22

from the holders of a majority of all those outstanding shares that (a) are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and (b) are cast either affirmatively or negatively on Proposal 2. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted FOR or AGAINST the proposal and will have no effect on the proposal. Brokers holding shares for a beneficial owner that have not received voting instructions with respect to the ratification of the approval of the appointment of FORVIS will have discretionary voting authority with respect to this matter.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR Proposal 2.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Fees and Services

As described above, FORVIS was appointed as our independent registered accounting firm in April 2023, upon the dismissal of Marcum. FORVIS has audited the financial statements of GSH since 2021.

The following table presents the aggregate fees billed by FORVIS and Marcum (including GSH, in the case of FORVIS), for services performed during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures of the Audit Committee

In connection with the Business Combination in March 2023 and establishment of our Audit Committee, our Audit Committee adopted a charter that requires in part that the Audit Committee pre-approve (or, where permitted, subsequently approve) all audit services performed for the Company by our independent auditor, as well as all permitted non-audit services in order to ensure that the provision of

23

such services does not impair the auditor’s independence. Pre-approval must be detailed as to the particular services rendered and is generally subject to a specific fee. The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its chairman for requests received between scheduled meetings of the committee. The chairman presents any such pre-approvals to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. All services described above subsequent to the Business Combination were approved or pre-approved in accordance with the foregoing.

Prior to the Business Combination, all of the services listed in the table above provided by Marcum were approved by DHHC, in accordance with DHHC’s policies then in effect.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. Each member of our Audit Committee meets the independence requirements contained in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules and SEC rules. The Audit Committee selects, subject to stockholder ratification, our independent public accountants.

Our management has primary responsibility for our internal controls and financial reporting process. Our independent external auditor, FORVIS LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our financial statements and issuing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Audit Committee also discussed with FORVIS the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from FORVIS required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding FORVIS’s communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with FORVIS their independence. The Audit Committee considered with FORVIS whether the non-audit services that FORVIS provided to us during 2023 were compatible with their independence.

Based upon the review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report for filing with the SEC.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Overview

The table below provides information concerning beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the record date by each stockholder, or group of affiliated stockholders, as of the record date, by:

•

each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock;

•

each of our named executive officers;

•

each of our directors; and

•

all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.

The following table is based upon information supplied by directors, executive officers and principal stockholders; and Schedule 13G, Schedule 13D and Section 16 filings filed with the SEC through the record date.

Explanation of Certain Calculations in the Table of Certain Beneficial Owners

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Except as described in the footnotes below and subject to applicable community property laws and similar laws, we believe that each person listed above has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Objectives and Overview

We believe that the skill, talent, judgment and dedication of our executive officers and other key employees are critical factors affecting our long-term stockholder value. Therefore, our goal is to maintain a compensation program that will fairly compensate our executive officers, attract and retain highly qualified executive officers, motivate the performance of our executive officers towards, and reward the achievement of, clearly defined corporate goals, and align our executive officers’ long-term interests with those of our stockholders. We believe that for our company, stock-based compensation is a significant motivator in attracting employees, and while base salary and the potential for cash bonuses must be at competitive levels, performance is most significantly affected by appropriately relating the potential for creating stockholder value to an individual’s compensation potential through the use of equity awards.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board is comprised of three non-employee members of the Board. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of our management in achieving corporate objectives and aims to ensure that the executive officers are compensated effectively in a manner consistent with our compensation philosophy and competitive practice. In fulfilling this responsibility, the Compensation Committee annually reviews the performance of each executive officer. Our Chief Executive Officer, as the manager of the executive team, assesses our executive officers’ contributions to the corporate goals and makes a recommendation to the Compensation Committee with respect to any merit increase in salary, cash bonus and equity award for each member of the executive team other than himself. The Compensation Committee meets with the Chief Executive Officer to evaluate, discuss and modify or approve these recommendations. The Compensation Committee also conducts a similar evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer’s contributions when the Chief Executive Officer is not present, and determines any increase in salary, cash bonus and equity award.

2023 Summary Compensation Table

The following table summarizes the compensation that we paid to our Chief Executive Officer and each of our two other most highly compensated executive officers during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

2024 Executive Compensation Framework

On February 16, 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the 2024 compensation framework (the “2024 Executive Compensation Framework”) for our executives (the “Executives”), including its named executive officers, which included base salaries, cash bonuses, and equity awards for 2024. The Compensation Committee retained WealthPoint in its development of the 2024 Executive Compensation Framework, and WealthPoint worked with management at the request and under the direction of the Compensation Committee. The 2024 Executive Compensation Framework consists of the following:

•

Base salaries for the 2024 fiscal year;

•

Cash bonus potential, pursuant to which the Executives will be entitled to bonuses based on quantitative and qualitative metrics; and

•

Equity awards, pursuant to which the Executives will be entitled to both time-based and performance-based equity awards.

The Compensation Committee’s approval of the 2024 Executive Compensation Framework was based on various factors, including, among others, recommendations made by WealthPoint.

Base Salaries and Cash Bonuses

The 2024 base salaries and target bonuses set by the Compensation Committee for each of our named executive officers are as follows:

Executive Officer	Base Salary			Cash Bonus Potential for Quantitative Targets			Cash Bonus Potential for Qualitative Targets
Michael Nieri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer	​	$	1,033,907	​	$	1,628,406	​	$	697,887
Jack Micenko, President	​	$	650,000	​	$	682,500	​	$	195,000
Tom O’Grady, Chief Administrative Officer	​	$	325,000	​	$	250,250	​	$	97,500

The quantitative portion of each target bonus for 2024 will be evaluated based on three independent performance measures: (i) adjusted EBITDA, as reported by the company; (ii) revenue; and (iii) home closings. Performance that meets the threshold requirements for a performance measure will result in a 75% payout of the portion of the award based on that performance measure. Performance that meets the target requirements will result in 100% payout of the portion of the award based on that performance measure. Performance that meets the maximum requirements will result in a higher percentage payout (225% for Mr. Nieri, 150% for Mr. Micenko, and 110% for Mr. O’Grady) of the portion of the award based on

37

that performance measure. The qualitative portion of each award is based upon individual performance goals, which span a range of 50% to 100% based upon performance, subject to the company achieving a minimum of $40 million of adjusted EBITDA, as reported by the company, for Executives to be eligible for a bonus based on qualitative targets. To the extent performance falls between two levels, linear interpolation is applied. In the event that our performance does not meet the threshold requirements, no payment will be made on the quantitative portion of the award based on that performance measure. In the event that our performance exceeds the maximum requirements, payments made on the quantitative portion of the award will be capped at the maximum payout amount for that performance measure.

Equity Awards

Equity awards consists of both time-based stock options and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”). The equity awards set by the Compensation Committee for each of our named executive officers are as follows:

Executive Officer	Stock Options		Performance Stock Units
Michael Nieri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer	​	337,500	​	112,500
Jack Micenko, President	​	161,250	​	53,750
Tom O’Grady, Chief Administrative Officer	​	67,500	​	22,500

Certain material terms applicable to the equity awards, such as the effect of a Change of Control and the treatment of such awards upon a recipient’s termination of employment, are governed by each recipient’s respective employment agreements, which are described in more detail in “— Executive Employment Agreements and Other Arrangements.” A description of certain other terms and conditions of the time-based options and PSUs is below.

Time-Based Stock Options

Time-based stock options vest ratably over four years commencing on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through the applicable vesting date.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

PSUs will vest upon the date, if any, during the period through March 30, 2028, that the volume weighted average price of our Class A common stock for 20 out of the preceding 30 consecutive trading days is greater than or equal to $18.00.

Executive Employment Agreements and Other Arrangements

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our executive officers, including our named executive officers (collectively, the “Employment Agreements”).

The Employment Agreements all provide for at-will employment that may be terminated by us for death or disability and with or without cause, by the executive with or without good reason, or mutually terminated by the parties. The term of Mr. Nieri’s employment agreement is 5 years, with an automatic one-year renewal up to a maximum of 5 additional years. The term of the Employment Agreements for our other executive officers are 3 years, with automatic 12-month renewals. The Employment Agreements provide for a Base Severance Benefit (as defined in the Employment Agreements) of 24 months of base salary for Mr. Michael Nieri and 12 months of base salary for our other executive officers, as well as the Incentive Severance Benefit (as defined in the Employment Agreements) upon termination by us without cause or termination by the officer for good reason, subject to execution of a release of claims.

The Employment Agreements provide for a base salary of $1,033,707 for Mr. Nieri; $650,000 for Mr. Micenko; and $325,000 for Mr. O’Grady. Possible annual performance bonuses and equity grants under the 2023 Plan are to be determined by the Compensation Committee.

38

In connection with his appointment, Mr. Micenko received an initial award of an option to purchase up to 314,019 shares of Class A common stock of the Company, which award will vest and become exercisable in four substantially equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the initial award grant date, subject to Mr. Micenko’s continued employment with the Company through each such vesting date.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

The 2023 Plan is the only compensation plan under which equity securities of the Company are reserved for issuance. The following table shows the amount of securities available under the 2023 Plan as of December 31, 2023:

Plan category	Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights		Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights			Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a))
​	(a)		(b)			(c)
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders	​	4,017,873	​	$	9.72(1)	​	1,626,005
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders	​	—	​	​	—	​	—
Total	​	4,017,873	​	$	9.72(1)	​	1,626,005

(1)

The price in column (b) reflects the weighted average price of all outstanding options under the 2023 Plan that, as of December 31, 2023, had been granted but not forfeited, expired or exercised. Restricted stock units are not included in determining the weighted average in column (b) because they have no exercise price.

UHG Equity Incentive Plan

United Homes Group, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2023 Plan became effective as of the Closing of the Business Combination, after its adoption by the board of directors and stockholders of DHHC.

The purpose of the 2023 Plan is to provide an additional incentive to selected directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors (and prospective directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors) of UHG or its affiliates whose contributions are essential to the growth and success of the business of UHG and its affiliates, in order to strengthen the commitment of such persons to UHG and its affiliates, motivate such persons to faithfully and diligently perform their responsibilities and attract and retain competent and dedicated persons whose efforts will result in the long-term growth and profitability of UHG and its affiliates.

Type of Awards

The 2023 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options (including non-statutory stock options and incentive stock options), stock appreciation rights (referred to as “SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (referred to as “RSUs”), stock bonuses, and performance compensation awards, to directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors of UHG or its affiliates.

Class A Common Stock Available for Issuance

The 2023 Plan provides for an aggregate number of Class A common stock to be reserved for future issuance, equal to 10% of Class A common stock as of immediately following the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Initial Share Limit”) plus shares subject to outstanding equity awards granted under the Great Southern Homes, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan that were converted into equity awards

39

denominated in Class A common stock under the 2023 Plan upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement, plus an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2024 and ending in 2033, equal to the lesser of (A) four (4%) percent of the shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee. Shares subject to an award under the 2023 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, expire, unexercised or are settled in cash under the 2023 Plan will again become available for awards under the 2023 Plan. Class A common stock that are tendered or exchanged by a participant or withheld by UHG as payment in connection with any award under the 2023 Plan, as well as any shares exchanged by a participant or withheld by UHG or any subsidiary thereof to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to any full value award, will become available for subsequent awards under the 2023 Plan. Shares, if any, that are tendered or exchanged by a participant or withheld by UHG as full or partial payment in connection with the exercise of any option or SAR under the 2023 Plan or the payment of any tax withholding obligation related thereto or not issued by UHG in connection with the stock settlement of any SAR will be added to the aggregate number of shares available for awards under the 2023 Plan. Shares, if any, underlying awards that are granted in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired by UHG or with which UHG combines will not be counted against the aggregate number of shares available for awards under the 2023 Plan.

Administration

The 2023 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may interpret the 2023 Plan and may prescribe, amend and rescind rules and make all other determinations necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2023 Plan.

The 2023 Plan permits the Compensation Committee to select the eligible recipients who will receive awards, to determine the terms and conditions of those awards, including but not limited to the exercise price or other purchase price of an award, the number of Class A common stock or cash or other property subject to an award, the term of an award and the vesting schedule applicable to an award, and to amend the terms and conditions of outstanding awards. All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the 2023 Plan will be final, conclusive and binding on all persons.

Equitable Adjustments

In the event the Compensation Committee determines that any dividend (other than ordinary cash dividends) or other distribution, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, spin-off, split-up, split-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Class A common stock or other securities of UHG, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire Class A common stock or other securities of UHG, or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the Class A common stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2023 Plan or with respect to an award, then the Compensation Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, make any adjustments to the number and kind of shares or the exercise price with respect to any award.
