(the "Company") that she was resigning from her position as a member of the board of directors, effective at 23:59 Eastern Time on December 31, 2020. Dr. Pegus did not resign as a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices.

On December 31, 2020, the Company's board of directors elected Sheri Louise Dodd and Deepti Jain to serve as members of the board and fixed the size of the board at eight directors, all effective as of January 1, 2021.

Ms. Dodd was also appointed to serve as a member of the Compensation and Organization Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the board. Ms. Dodd is 55 years old and currently serves as Vice President and General Manager at Medtronic plc. At Medtronic, Ms. Dodd oversees Care and Management Services.

From May 1988 until September 1993 Ms. Dodd served as a project manager with the World Health Organization. The Company's board of directors believes that Ms. Dodd's prior and current healthcare and management experience make her strongly qualified to serve on the board of directors.

Ms. Jain was also appointed to serve as a member of the Audit Committee and Compliance and Reimbursement Committee of the board. Ms. Jain is 52 years old and served as the President of Anthem's pharmacy benefit management division, IngenioRx through November 2020, and was responsible for all functions including sales and account management, clinical programs, operations, client analytics, financial performance, underwriting, internal audit coordination, compliance, and market strategy.

The Company's board of directors believes that Ms. Jain's prior and current healthcare and management experience and finance expertise make her strongly qualified to serve on the board of directors.

For their service on the board, Ms. Dodd and Ms. Jain will be compensated in accordance with the Company's non-employee director compensation policy. Each of them will be granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") with a value of a pro rata portion of $130,000, such pro rata portion based on the number of days Ms. Dodd and Ms. Jain will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders as compared to the number of days between that annual meeting and the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders, calculated by dividing the pro rata portion of $130,000 by the closing sale price per share of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant. These initial grants will be made after the close of market on the second business day following the release of the Company's financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and will vest in a single installment on the earlier of one year from the grant date or the date of the Company's 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, subject to the condition that Ms. Dodd and Ms. Jain remain directors as of that date.

In addition, Ms. Dodd will receive an annual cash retainer of $45,000 per year for her service on the board, a cash retainer of $7,500 per year for her service as a member of the Compensation and Organization Committee, and a cash retainer of $5,000 per year for her service as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each prorated for her first year of service. Ms. Jain will receive an annual cash retainer of $45,000 per year for her service on the board, a cash retainer of $10,000 per year for her service as a member of the Audit Committee, and a cash retainer of $5,000 per year for her service as a member of the Compliance and Reimbursement Committee, each prorated for her first year of service. Non-employee directors may elect to receive between 10% and 100% of their aggregate annual cash retainers in the form of RSUs, with the number of RSUs calculated by dividing the amount of the retainer payable on a certain date by the closing sale price per share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company also reimburses its directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings.
