Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Amendment includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Amendment are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “can have,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties (many of which may be amplified on account of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic) that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including:
● | the risk that the cost of providing services will exceed our compensation under PACE; |
● | the dependence of our revenues and operations upon a limited number of government payors; |
● | the effects of rules governing the Medicare, Medicaid or PACE programs; |
● | the risk that our submissions to government payors may contain inaccurate or unsupportable information regarding risk adjustment scores of participants; |
● | the impact on our business of non-renewal or termination of capitation agreements with government payors; |
● | the impact of state and federal efforts to reduce healthcare spending; |
● | the effects of a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease, including the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19; |
● | the effect of our relatively limited operating history as a for-profit company on investors’ ability to evaluate our current business and future prospects; |
● | the viability of our growth strategy and our ability to realize expected results; |
● | our ability to attract new participants and grow our revenue; |
● | reduction in budget appropriations or any other adverse developments in the state of Colorado; |
● | our ability to manage our growth effectively, execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service and participant satisfaction and adequately address competitive challenges; |
● | our ability to compete in the healthcare industry; |
● | the concentration of our presence in Colorado, California, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Virginia; |
● | the impact on our business of an economic downturn; |
● | the impact on our business of security breaches, loss of data or other disruptions causing the compromise of sensitive information or preventing us from accessing critical information; |
4
● | the potential adverse impact of inspection, reviews, audits, investigations, legal proceedings, enforcement actions and litigation; |
● | our ability to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems; |
● | our ability to accurately estimate incurred but not reported medical expense or the risk scores of our participants; |
● | risks associated with our use of “open-source” software; |
● | the impact on our business of the termination of our leases, increases in rent or inability to renew or extend leases; |
● | the impact of failures by our suppliers, material price increases on supplies or limitations on our ability to access new technology or medical products; |
● | our ability to maintain our corporate culture; |
● | the impact of competition for physicians and other clinical personnel and related increases in our labor costs; |
● | the impact of negative publicity regarding the managed healthcare industry; |
● | the impact of pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, weather and other factors beyond our control; |
● | our ability to maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition; |
● | our ability to maintain profitability in an environment of increasing expenses; |
● | the impact on our business of disruptions in our disaster recovery systems or business continuity planning; |
● | changes in accounting principles and guidance, resulting in unfavorable accounting charges or effects; |
● | our dependence on our senior management team and other key employees; |
● | our ability to attract, retain and contract with highly qualified personnel; and |
● | other factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere our Original Report. |
We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Original Report. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Amendment in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this Amendment are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Item 11.Executive and Director Compensation
The following section provides compensation information pursuant to the scaled disclosure rules applicable to “emerging growth companies” under the rules of the SEC and may contain statements regarding future individual and company performance targets and goals.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
Base Salary
Each employment agreement with our Named Executive Officers provides for the payment of an annualized base salary. The base salary payable to each Named Executive Officer is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting each Named Executive Officer’s skill set, experience, role, responsibilities and contributions. As of the end of fiscal year 2021, annualized base salary amounts for our Named Executive Officers were as follows: $731,814 for Ms. Hewitt, and $364,814 for Ms. Gutierrez and $355,236 for Ms. Lozzano.
Annual Bonuses
Each of our Named Executive Officers was eligible to receive an annual cash incentive award for fiscal year 2021, based on achievement of pre-determined corporate and individual performance objectives, and subject to achievement of a minimum EBITDA threshold. The performance objectives included measurable objectives that would contribute to the Company’s strategic goals. The fiscal year 2021 bonuses were targeted at $445,577 for Ms. Hewitt, $111,061 for Ms. Gutierrez and $108,146 for Ms. Lozzano. Each of our Named Executive Officers earned 100% of their target bonus for fiscal year 2021, due to the Company’s achievement of its EBITDA goal at 100% of target and each Named Executive Officer’s achievement of their individual objectives, including certain quality and compliance goals.
Equity Compensation
Options. In connection with Apax’s investment in the Company in July 2020, each Named Executive Officer’s options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were accelerated (to the extent then unvested), and each vested option was thereafter cancelled in exchange for a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the per share consideration paid in the investment transaction, over (ii) the exercise price of the option. In addition, we paid an
14
additional $0.59 per share to our Named Executive Officers as an incentive to participate in the redemption of our Named Executive Officers’ shares in connection with Apax’s investment in the Company.
Other Benefits
We currently provide broad-based welfare benefits that are available to all of our employees, including our Named Executive Officers, and include health, dental, life, vision and short- and long-term disability insurance. We also offer long-term care insurance to our employees at the director level and above, and our Named Executive Officers likewise receive this benefit.
In addition, we maintain, and the Named Executive Officers participate in, a 401(k) plan, which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and provides eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis, and we match 50% of an employee’s contributions up to 4% of the employee’s eligible earnings. Employees’ pre-tax contributions and our matching contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to the participant’s directions.
We also maintain the InnovAge Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), which is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A of the Code. Pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan, an eligible employee may elect to defer up to 100% of his or her base salary and annual bonus award. All participant deferrals of compensation are 100% vested at all times, and plan assets are distributed upon the participant’s separation from service, either in a lump sum or over a five-year period, as elected by the participant in a manner compliant with Section 409A of the Code. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides for a discretionary employer match up to a maximum of 5% of the participant’s base salary.

Item 12.Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table sets forth information about the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of October 21, 2021 for:
● | each person or group known to us who beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock; |
● | each of our directors; |
● | each of our Named Executive Officers; and |
● | all of our directors and executive officers as a group. |
18
The numbers of shares of common stock beneficially owned and percentages of beneficial ownership are based on 135,516,513 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 21, 2021.
Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Common stock subject to options or restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that are currently exercisable or exercisable or will vest within 60 days of October 21, 2021 are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options or RSUs. These shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as disclosed in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe that each shareholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all common stock shown as beneficially owned by the shareholder.
Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each beneficial owner listed on the table is c/o InnovAge Holding Corp., 8950 E. Lowry Boulevard, Denver, Colorado 80230.

In particular, our policy requires our Audit Committee to consider, among other factors it deems appropriate:
● | the related person’s relationship to us and interest in the transaction; |
● | the material facts of the proposed transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of the transaction; |
● | the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director or an immediate family member of the director or director nominee; |
● | the benefits to us of the proposed transaction; |
● | if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services; and |
● | an assessment of whether the proposed transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an unrelated third party or to employees generally. |
The Audit Committee may only approve those transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our shareholders, as the Audit Committee determines in good faith.
In addition, under our Code of Ethics, our employees, directors and executive officers must disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest.

Related Party Transactions
Other than compensation arrangements for our directors and named executive officers, which are described in the section entitled “Executive Compensation” elsewhere in this proxy statement, below we describe transactions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 to which we were a participant or will be a participant, in which:
● | the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and |
● | any of our directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of, or person sharing the household with, the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. |
PWD Loan
Pinewood Lodge, LLP (“PWD”), one of our variable interest entities in which we own a 0.01% partnership interest, develops, constructs, owns, maintains and operates certain apartment complexes intended for rental to low-income individuals aged 62 and over. Pursuant to the PWD Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, our wholly-owned subsidiary Continental Community Housing, the general partner of PWD (the “General Partner”), helped fund operating deficits and shortfalls of PWD in the form of a loan (the “PWD Loan”). As of June 30, 2021, $0.7 million was recorded in deposits and other, and the highest aggregate amount of principal outstanding under the PWD Loan was $0.7 million in fiscal year 2021. The PWD Loan does not accrue interest. The General Partner is paid an administration fee of $35,000 per year.
Director Nomination Agreement
In connection with our IPO, we entered into a Director Nomination Agreement, by and among the Company and Ignite Aggregator LP (together with its affiliated investment entities, “Apax Partners”), Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XII, L.P., Welsh, Carson Anderson & Stowe XII Delaware, L.P., Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XII Delaware II, L.P., Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XII Cayman, L.P., WCAS XII Co-Investors LLC, WCAS Management Corporation and WCAS Co-Invest Holdco, L.P. (together, “WCAS” and, together with Apax Partners, the “Principal Shareholders”). The Director Nomination Agreement provides the Principal Shareholders the right to designate nominees for election to our Board. The Principal Shareholders may also assign their designation rights under the Director Nomination Agreement to an affiliate.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with our IPO, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Principal Shareholders pursuant to which the Principal Shareholders are entitled to request that we register the Principal Shareholders’ shares on a long-form or short-form registration statement on one or more occasions in the future, which registrations may in certain circumstances be “shelf registrations.” The Principal Shareholders will also be entitled to participate in certain of our registered offerings, subject to the restrictions in the Registration Rights Agreement. We will pay certain of the Principal Shareholders’ expenses in connection with the Principal Shareholders’ exercise of these rights. The registration rights described in this paragraph apply to (i) shares of our common stock held by the Principal Shareholders and their affiliates and (ii) any of our capital stock (or that of our subsidiaries) issued or issuable with respect to the common stock described in clause (i) with respect to any dividend, distribution, recapitalization, reorganization, or certain other corporate transactions, or Registrable Securities as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement. These registration rights are also for the benefit of any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities; provided that any particular securities will cease to be Registrable Securities when they have been sold in a registered public offering, sold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or repurchased by us or our subsidiaries. In addition, with the consent of the Company and holders of a majority of Registrable Securities, any Registrable Securities held by a person other than the Principal Shareholders and their affiliates will cease to be Registrable Securities if they can be sold without limitation under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
21
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Upon completion of our IPO, we entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide the executive officers and directors with contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Additionally, we may enter into (i) indemnification agreements with any new directors or officers that may be broader in scope than the specific indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law and (ii) standard policies of insurance that provide coverage to (1) our directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) us with respect to indemnification payments that we may make to such directors and officers.
Controlled Company; Independence Status
Our Principal Shareholders continue to control a majority of our outstanding common stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” under the listing standards of Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that, within one year of the date of the listing of our common stock:
● | we have a Board that is composed of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq; |
● | we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors; and |
● | nominees to our Board are to be selected, or recommended for the Board’s selection, either by: (a) independent directors constituting a majority of the Board’s independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate; or (b) a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors. |
We currently rely on this exemption. As a result, we do not have a majority of independent directors on our Board. In addition, our Audit Committee and Compensation, Nominating, and Governance Committee does not consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

In considering the nature of the services provided by the independent auditor, the Audit Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit Committee discussed these services with the independent auditor and the Company’s management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit services as well as non-audit services to the extent required by the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent auditor is engaged to perform it. Each year, the Audit Committee will pre-approve audit services, audit-related services and tax services to be used by the Company. The Audit Committee approved all services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP during the indicated periods.
