Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

The policies and decisions of the federal and state governments regarding the Medicare Advantage program in which we participate have a substantial impact on our profitability. These governmental policies and decisions, which we cannot predict with certainty, directly shape the revenues given to us under the Medicare Advantage program, the eligibility and enrollment of our members, the services we provide to our members, and our administrative, healthcare services, and other costs associated with the Medicare Advantage program. Legislative or regulatory actions, such as changes to the Medicare Advantage program, those resulting in a reduction in payments to us, an increase in our cost of administrative and healthcare services, or additional fees, taxes or assessments, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. For example, under the Contract Year 2026 Medicare Advantage and Part D final rule, CMS recently finalized new regulations requiring Utilization Management (UM) committees to include a health equity expert and conduct an annual analysis of prior authorization impacts on enrollees with social risk factors, with the findings publicly posted on their website. These changes expand upon recently imposedfederal requirements for UMcertain committeesD-SNPs that, beginning in 2027, will require the use of integrated member identification cards that serve as the ID cards for both the Medicare and Medicaid plans in which an enrollee is enrolled, and the annual reviewcompletion of UMan policies,integrated furtherhealth increasingrisk assessment for Medicare and Medicaid, rather than separate assessments for each program.

We have incurred net losses on an annual basis since our inception, including a net loss of $128.1 million and $148.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,008.3 million.

Reworded

We have incurred net losses on an annual basis since our inception, including a net loss of $1.0 million and $128.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,009.0 million. We expect our aggregate costs will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we expect to invest heavily in increasing our member base, growing our provider networks, expanding our operations geographically, engaging in expanded marketing and outreach efforts, enhancing our technology, hiring additional employees, operating as a public company and acquiring companies or assets complementary to our business. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these higher expenses. In addition, even if we are successful in increasing our membership and consequently increasing our total revenues from premiums earned, we may not successfully and effectively predict, price and manage the medical costs of our members. To date, we have financed our operations principally from the sale of our equity, revenue from the CMS and the incurrence of indebtedness. We may not generate positive cash flow from operations or profitability in the future.

Our relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.

Removed

Our relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and prospectus and plan for our future growth. We were founded in 2013, with most of our growth occurring in recent years. We have encountered and will continue to encounter significant risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by new and growing companies in heavily regulated and rapidly changing industries, such as determining appropriate investments for our limited resources, scaling our model and technology platform, attracting and retaining members, efficiently navigating and complying with evolving regulations, hiring, integrating, training and retaining skilled personnel, identifying and reaching agreements with reliable healthcare service providers, competing against more established competitors, unforeseen expenses and challenges in forecasting accuracy. Although we have successfully expanded our footprint outside of California and intend to continue to expand into new markets, new plans we provide or new markets we enter may not prove successful. If we are unable to increase our member enrollment, scale our platform, maintain a low cost structure, identify, reach and successfully maintain agreements with reliable healthcare service providers, successfully manage our third-party medical costs or successfully expand the range of services and benefits we offer to members, our revenue and our ability to achieve and sustain profitability would be impaired. Additional risks include our ability to effectively manage growth, process, store, protect and use personal data in compliance with governmental regulation, contractual obligations and other legal obligations related to privacy and security and manage our obligations as a healthcare plan. If our assumptions regarding these and other similar risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change as we gain more experience operating our business or due to changes in our industry, or if we do not address these challenges successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations and our business could suffer.

Pursuing our growth strategy requires significant capital expenditures, the allocation of valuable management resources, and the hiring of additional personnel, and may strain our operations,operations and our financial and management controls and reporting systems and procedures. For a variety of reasons, we may not succeed in achieving scale, improving our operating efficiency or gaining operating leverage. Moreover, we have experienced and may in the future continue to experience attrition, which may further exacerbate these challenges. If we are unable to effectively execute our growth strategy and manage our growth, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Reworded

Premium increases, introduction of new product designs, and our relationships with our providers in various markets, among other issues, could also affect our membership levels. Other actions that could affect membership levels include our possible exit from or entrance into markets,markets or the entering into or termination of a largekey network contract. If we do not compete effectively in our markets, if we set rates too high or too low in highly competitive markets to keep or increase our market share, if membership does not increase as we expect, if membership declines, or if we lose membership with favorable medical cost experience while retaining or increasing membership with unfavorable medical cost experience, our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

Reworded

CMS measures the quality of Medicare Advantage plans through a Five Star Quality Rating System. The Star Rating system considers various measures adopted by CMS, including, among others, quality of care, preventative services, chronic illness management and member satisfaction. The achievement of Star ratings of 4-Star or higher qualifies Medicare Advantage plans for an increase in the benchmark against which they bid (potentially increasing premium payments). As of January 1, 2025,2026, approximately 98%100% of our members are enrolled in rated plans that have a 4.0 Star rating or greater for the 20252026 rating year / 20262027 payment year. However, we may not be able to maintain or improve upon these Star ratings in future years. Failure to maintain satisfactory quality and performance measures may negatively affect our premium rates, impede our ability to compete for new business in existing or new markets or result in the termination of our contracts, or affect our ability to enter into new CMS contracts or expand the service area of current health plans. Star ratings are an important component of how MA beneficiaries select an MA plan, both during each annual enrollment period and throughout each year. Low Star ratings may reduce our membership, if members choose to enroll in higher-rated plans.

Reworded

CMS updates and makes changes to the Star ratings annually. Changes implemented by CMS with respect to the Five Star Quality Rating System have, in the past, and could, in the future, negatively impact our Star ratings. For example, in rating year 2024, CMS removed performance outliers from the calculation of non-Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (“non-CAHPS data”) measure rating cut points using the TukeyTurkey outlier deletion method. This change increased cut points overall, making it more difficult to achieve and maintain high Star ratings. In the 20252026 Star ratings, only seven18 MA-Part D contracts earned a 5-star rating, an increase from seven in 2025 but a significant decrease from 31 in 2024,2024 and 57 in 2023, and 74 in 2022.2023.

Reworded

Additionally, CMS continues to make changes to Star Ratings methodology that could negatively impact our Star Ratings in future years. For example, in April 2024, CMS finalizedrecently proposed changes tofor the measures2027 usedStar inRatings, including streamlining the Star ratings,Ratings themeasure calculationset by removing certain measures and revising aspects of the Categoricalreward Adjustmentfactor Indexmethodology and(including proposing to remove the Health Equity Index for contracts undergoing consolidation,reward and the weights assignedrevert to certainthe measures.historical reward factor). These changes, if finalized, and future adjustments to the Star rating methodology may have a negative impact on our Star ratings.

SecurityCybersecurity breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business or our members, or prevent us from accessing critical information and expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.

Reworded

We are highly dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the internet, to securely process, transmit and store this sensitive data and information. SecurityCybersecurity breaches of this infrastructure, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, ransomware, attacks by hackers and other malicious actors and similar breaches, physical break-ins and employee or contractor error, negligence or malfeasance, can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure or modifications of such sensitive data or information, causing PHI or other PII to be accessed or acquired without authorization or to become publicly available. We utilize a third-party operated 24x7 security operations center that continuously monitors the security and privacy posture of our systems and have implemented the HITRUST Alliance's Common Security Framework as part of our certification by HITRUST; however, we cannot provide assurance that these measures will protect us from all cybersecurity threats and risks. As our third-party service providers manage important aspects of the collection, storage, processing and transmission of employee, user and member information, and other confidential and sensitive information, we rely on them to perform functions that have material cybersecurity risks. Because of the sensitivity of the PHI, other PII and other sensitive information we and our service providers collect, store, transmit, and otherwise process and use, the security of our technology platform and other aspects of our services, including those provided or facilitated by our third-party service providers, are important to our operations and business strategy. Measures taken to protect our systems, those of our contractors or third-party service providers, or the PHI, other PII,PII or other sensitive information we or contractors or third-party service providers process or maintain (including our requirement that our third-party service providers enter into business associate agreements or other required security agreements, if applicable), may not adequately protect us from the risks associated with the collection, storage, processing and transmission of such sensitive data and information. For example, we may be required to expend significant capital and other resources, such as in the performance of ongoing risk assessments of our and our third-party service providers’ information systems, to protect against securitycybersecurity breaches or to alleviate problems caused by securitycybersecurity breaches. Because cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and frequent and the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, despite the implementation of security measures, we or our third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate protective measures.

Reworded

A securitycybersecurity breach or other breach or privacy violation that leads to disclosure or unauthorized use or modification of, or that prevents access to or otherwise impacts the confidentiality, security, integrity or availability of, member information, including PHIPHI, or other PII,PII or other sensitive information we or our contractors or third-party service providers maintain or otherwise process, could harm our reputation and brand, compel us to comply with breach notification laws, and cause us to incur significant costs for remediation, fines, penalties, providing notification to individuals.individuals and civil claims. We would need to identify and implement measures intended to repair or replace systems or technology and to prevent future occurrences, and we could face potential increases in insurance premiums. This is of particular risk when considering tight integration with third-party service providers who manage or provide parts of our information systems. If we are unable to prevent or mitigate such security breaches or privacy violations or implement satisfactory remedial measures, or if it is perceived that we have been unable to do so, our operations could be disrupted, we may be unable to provide access to our systems, and we could suffer a loss of members. We may also suffer loss of reputation, adverse impacts on member and investor confidence and financial loss, and we would be exposed to the risk of governmental investigations or other actions, regulatory or contractual penalties, and other claims and liabilities, including liability under laws and regulations that protect the privacy of member information or other personal information, such as HIPAA.HIPAA as well as other federal and state privacy, data security, consumer protection, biometric information, eavesdropping and wiretapping, electronic communications, and data breach notification laws that permit private rights of action or other civil claims. In addition, securitycybersecurity breaches and other inappropriate access to, or acquisition or processing of, information can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying such incidents or in providing any notification of such incidents may lead to increased harm.

Reworded

A datacybersecurity breach could result in incorrect or delayed medical recommendations and prescriptions, missed alerts and missed opportunities to intervene for our members on a timely basis. Unauthorized access, loss or dissemination could also disrupt our operations, including our ability to perform our services, access member health information, collect, process, and prepare company financial information, provide information about our current and future services and engage in other member and clinician education and outreach efforts. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Added

Our use of machine learning and artificial intelligence, including within our AVA platform, may introduce operational, regulatory and legal risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Added

We use machine learning, artificial intelligence (“AI”) and other automated data-analysis technologies in certain aspects of our operations, including within AVA, which aggregates and analyzes member and provider information to generate insights, alerts and recommendations and to support risk adjustment, care management and other activities. AI models may produce inaccurate, incomplete, biased or non-reproducible outputs due to limitations in data quality, model design or changing data patterns, and certain methodologies may lack transparency or explainability. If AI-supported processes adversely affect clinical or operational activities, coding or documentation, risk adjustment, utilization management, quality measurement or member stratification, we could experience reduced revenue, increased medical costs, member harm, regulatory exposure or reputational damage. Our use of AI also increases risks relating to data governance, privacy, cybersecurity and third-party technology dependencies, including risks arising from aggregation and use of sensitive data.

Added

The legal and regulatory framework governing AI in healthcare and insurance is rapidly evolving. Federal agencies, including HHS and CMS, are developing policies and guidance regarding the governance and permissible uses of AI in healthcare programs, and federal executive actions and proposed or enacted state laws seek to regulate AI use in sensitive or regulated contexts. New or changing AI-related requirements or enforcement priorities could restrict permissible uses of AI in Medicare Advantage or other regulated activities, require additional governance, validation, documentation, transparency or reporting, or increase audit, overpayment, penalty or liability risks. If our AI governance or use practices are determined to be deficient or non-compliant, we could be subject to investigations, sanctions, contractual liability or other adverse consequences.

Added

If any of these risks were to materialize, our operations, regulatory compliance, reputation, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Reworded

CMS released a final rule on January 30, 2023, which changes both the use of extrapolation and the application of the FFS Adjuster. Specifically, under the final rule CMS willwould not extrapolate audit results for any audits covering payment years prior to 2018. Additionally, CMS willwould not apply any FFS Adjuster in RADV audits. These changes arewould be expected to have a material impact on Medicare Advantage organizations, including us. In November 2024, CMS announced it had initiated the payment year 2018 RADV audits, and it expectsexpected to begin issuing the audit findings in mid-calendar year 2026, including instructions on how the overpayments will be collected as part of the audit. In May 2025, CMS reiterated its focus on RADV audits, noting that the agency planned to complete the payment year 2018 RADV audits by early 2026 and that, going forward, CMS would audit all eligible MA contracts each payment year. However, in September 2025, a federal district court vacated CMS’s 2023 RADV final rule on procedural grounds, creating uncertainty regarding the application of that rule’s audit methodology, including the use of extrapolation and the elimination of the FFS Adjuster, and potentially delaying CMS’s ability to conclude these audits as originally anticipated. The government has filed a notice of appeal in that litigation, and the timing and methodology for issuing findings and any related payment recovery actions remain uncertain.

Reworded

•Our CMS contracts that cover members’ prescription drugs under Medicare Part D contain provisions for risk sharing and certain payments for prescription drug costs for which we are not at risk. These provisions, certain of which are described below, affect our ultimate payments from CMS. Beginning in 2025, the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) imposes changes to the Medicare Part D program, including changes to catastrophic coverage, manufacturer discount obligations, and CMS reinsurance subsidies. These changes to tend to increase the portion of prescription drug costs for which we are financially responsible and may increase variability in our ultimate payments from CMS.

Reworded

Reinsurance and low-income cost subsidies represent payments from CMS in connection with the Medicare Part D program. Pursuant to the IRA, CMS’s share of costs in the catastrophic coverage phase decreased from 80% in 2024 to 20% in 2025, meaning that we are responsible for a greater portion of prescription drug costs above the out-of-pocket threshold. Reinsurance subsidies represent payments for CMS’s portion of claims costs which exceed the member’s out-of-pocket threshold, or the catastrophic coverage level. Low-income cost subsidies represent payments from CMS for all or a portion of the deductible, the coinsurance and co-payment amounts above the out-of-pocket threshold for low-income beneficiaries. Monthly prospective payments from CMS for reinsurance and low-income cost subsidies are based on assumptions submitted with our annual bid. A reconciliation and settlement of CMS’s prospective subsidies against actual prescription drug costs we paid, as well as other factors, is made after the end of the applicable year.

Reworded

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”), signed into law on August 16, 2022, reflects an ongoing effort to control prescription drug costs and reduce spending by the federal government. The IRA contains several provisions that impact the Part D program and that may influence our benefit design and profitability. For example, beginning in 2024, Part D plans were required to eliminate member cost-sharing in the catastrophic phase of the benefit, and beginning in 2025, the coverage gap phase was eliminated. For 2026, Part D plans must now also implement a cap on member out-of-pocket spending of $2,000.$2,100. These changes have the potential to increase the financial responsibility of Part D plan sponsors. Furthermore, beginning in 2025, Part D plans must offer enrollees the option to pay out-of-pocket prescription drug costs in the form of capped monthly payments through the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan instead of all at once at the pharmacy. This may increase administrative burdens for plans by requiring new payment tracking systems and risk management strategies. These changes may significantly alter the plans that we offer and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Added

This may increase administrative burdens for plans by requiring new payment tracking systems and risk management strategies. Finally, 2026 is the first year that CMS will implement negotiated prices on certain high-cost Part D drugs, and Part D plans must include these drugs on their formularies at the maximum fair price. These changes may significantly alter the plans that we offer and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Reworded

A substantial portion of our revenue is driven by CMS payments in connection with our health plans in California, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and Texas, with overapproximately 94%84% of our members concentrated in California as of December 31, 2024.2025. As a result, our exposure to many of the risks described herein is not mitigated by a diversification of geographic focus. Unfavorable changes in healthcare or other benefit costs or reimbursement rates or increased competition in these areas or any other geographic area where our membership becomes concentrated in the future could therefore have a disproportionately adverse effect on our operating results. Furthermore, due to the concentration of our operations in these states and in California in particular, our business may be adversely affected by economic, health or other conditions that disproportionately affect these states as compared to other states (e.g., outbreaks of infectious disease) or by natural disasters such as major earthquake, wildfire or hurricane. Any of these factors could have a significant impact on the health of a large number of our covered members, access to care may be more difficult and proposed responses, including telehealth, may not be available. Moreover, regulatory changes undertaken in response to such events could require us to cover health care costs for members for which we would not typically be responsible.

Removed

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.

Removed

Most members of our management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage us as a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These obligations and constituents require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Reworded

Additionally, CMS audits Medicare Advantage organizations for documentation to support RAF-related payments for members. The Medicare Advantage organizations ask providers to submit the underlying documentation for members that they serve. It is possible that claims associated with members with higher RAF scores could be subject to more scrutiny in a CMS or plan audit. CMS may impose penalties as a result of its audits. In addition, we could be liable for penalties to the government under the FCA that range from $5,500 to $11,000 (adjusted for inflation) for each false claim, plus up to three times the amount of damages caused by each false claim, which can be as much as the amounts received directly or indirectly from the government for each such false claim. On FebruaryJuly 12,3, 2024,2025, the DOJ issued a final rule announcing adjustments to FCA penalties, under which the per claim penalty range was increased to a range from $13,946$14,308 to $27,894$28,619 for penalties assessed after FebruaryJuly 12,3, 20242025 with respect to violations occurring after November 2, 2015.

We have limited experience serving as a participant in the ACO REACH model with CMS and may not be able to realize the expected benefits thereof.

Removed

The CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (“CMMI”) implemented a direct contracting model, intended to create value-based payment arrangements directly with Direct Contracting Entities (“DCEs”), which is part of CMS’s strategy to drive broader healthcare reform and accelerate the shift from original Medicare toward value-based care models. A key aspect of direct contracting is providing new opportunities for a variety of different DCEs to participate in value-based care arrangements in Medicare fee-for-service. Effective January 1, 2023, CMS replaced the DCE program with the “ACO Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health Model” or “ACO REACH” model and designated participating entities as Accountable Care Organizations (“ACOs”).

Removed

Our participation in the CMMI program began on April 1, 2021 and, as of January 1, 2025, we had approximately 6,650 members in our arrangement with our clinician partners in California and Nevada. Our participation in the ACO REACH program is subject to annual CMS approval, and our contracts are not guaranteed to be renewed in future years. Prior to April 1, 2021, we had no experience participating in CMMI's programs and, as such, our ACO business is in the early stages of development. We are subject to the risks inherent to the launch of any new business, including the risks that we may not generate sufficient returns to justify our investment and that it may take longer or be more costly to achieve the expected benefits from this new program. In particular, we may be unable to achieve risk-like patient economics on original Medicare patients. Moreover, our financial performance under the ACO REACH model may not be similar to our performance under the DCE model.

Removed

CMMI is constantly evaluating the ACO REACH program and may revise the applicable rules and design at any time, and such changes may have a significant impact on our ability to carry out our business. Certain CMMI model methodologies, including but not limited to, allowed provider classes, beneficiary alignment, benchmark establishment, and risk score modeling, are subject to continued evaluation. For example, the ACO REACH model requires participants to meet several provisions on promoting health equity, including the creation of a health equity plan, and will introduce a health equity benchmark adjustment to payments to help support care delivery and coordination in underserved areas. ACO REACH also requires that doctors and other health care providers make up 75% of governing or voting rights on the participating accountable care organization's board. These and other requirements could materially impact our profitability.

Removed

In 2024, we entered into a management services and risk management agreement with a third-party healthcare company. The third party will be responsible for arranging and controlling the health care services provided to the ACO members, and for providing certain management and support services with respect to ACO operations. The third party will also assume specified upside and downside financial risk relative to the ACO’s performance. Due to our reliance on this third party, we may face the risk that it will fail to successfully manage the health care of these members and that it will incur significant financial losses. Although the third party is contractually liable for such losses and was required to obtain a security instrument and to provide a cash reserve backstopping such losses, there is a possibility that losses could exceed the aggregate amount of the security instrument and cash reserve. If that were to occur, we may be responsible for the excess losses.

Removed

The ACO REACH model may not be successful and may ultimately be discontinued, including as a result of decreased political support for value-based care or the ACO REACH model, or we may be unable to expand our total addressable market in the manner that we expect. Ultimately, our participation in the ACO REACH model may not be profitable to us initially or at all.

Removed

If we are unable to maintain the minimum required number of beneficiaries served by our ACO REACH model, we may become ineligible to participate in the program.

Removed

As with the DCE model, CMS requires ACO REACH participants to maintain at least 5,000 aligned Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries prior to the start of each performance year. If for any year we fail to satisfy the minimum beneficiary alignment requirements, CMS may take remedial action, including imposition of a corrective action plan or termination of our participation in the program. Any adverse action that curtails or eliminates our ability to participate in the program may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, because preliminary performance year benchmarks are calculated prospectively for each performance year before the prior performance year is complete, CMS may retroactively adjust performance year benchmarks based on the finalized quality performance scores achieved by the ACO, which will impact the reimbursements achieved in the model.

We rely on a number of vendors and other third parties to perform various functions and fulfill our obligations to CMS and members. Our ability to operate our business depends on the performance of, and continued contracts with, these vendors. The functions performed by our major vendors include, but are not limited to, information technology support, claims processing, pharmaceutical benefit management, supplemental benefits (e.g., our "black card" benefit, vision benefits, dental benefits and transportation benefits) and other business process outsourcing. We also rely in part on third-party brokers for the marketing and sale of our insurance plans and on our IPAs, which perform certain functions on our behalf.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (which we collectively refer to as the “Health Care Reform Law”) enacted significant reforms to various aspects of the U.S. health insurance industry. Certain significant provisions of the Health Care Reform Law include, among others, mandated coverage requirements, mandated benefits and guarantee issuance associated with commercial medical insurance, rebates to policyholders based on minimum benefit ratios, adjustments to Medicare Advantage premiums, the establishment of federally facilitated or state-based exchanges coupled with programs designed to spread risk among insurers, and the introduction of plan designs based on set actuarial values. Some of these changes impact us and other entities that offer MedicateMedicare Advantage plans.

The use of individually identifiable health data by our business is regulated at federal and state levels. These laws and rules are changed frequently by legislation or administrative interpretation. Various state laws address the use and maintenance of PII. Among these state laws, which we describe in more detail below, we are most substantially affected by the California Consumer Privacy Act,Act ("CCPA"), which uniquely among general consumer privacy laws did not exempt employee information, business contact information, and only maintains narrow exemptions for data subject to HIPAA or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. We mayare needrequired to changecomply with these laws in the way we create, receive, maintain or transmit PII to comply with these state laws.PII.

HIPAA imposes mandatory penalties for certain violations. In 2024,2026, penalties for violations of HIPAA and its implementing regulations started at $141$145 per violation and could not exceed approximately $71,162$73,011 per violation, subject to a cap of approximately $2.1$2.2 million for violations of the same standard in a single calendar year.year]. However, a single breach incident can result in violations of multiple standards. Additionally, the penalty amounts listed above are also due for inflation adjustments in 2025.2026.

HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents for statutory damagesviolations of up to $25,000.HIPAA. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI.

Reworded

HIPAA further requires that members be notified of any unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that compromises the privacy or security of such information, with certain exceptions related to unintentional or inadvertent use or disclosure by employees or authorized individuals. HIPAA specifies that such notifications must be made without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach. If a breach affects 500 patientsindividuals or more, it must be reported to HHS without unreasonable delay, and HHS will post the name of the breaching entity on its public website. Breaches affecting more than 500 patientsindividuals in the same state or jurisdiction must also be reported to prominent media outlets serving the localstate media.or jurisdiction. If a breach involves fewer than 500 people,individuals, the covered entity must record it in a log and notify HHS at least annually.

Data privacy and security at the state level remains an evolving landscape. For example, CCPA, which came into effect on January 1, 2020, requires companies that process personal information onof California residents to make disclosures to consumers about their data collection, use and sharing practices, allow consumers to exercise certain rights with respect to their data, including the right to opt out of certain data sharing with third parties and provides a cause of action for data breaches. In addition, on November 3, 2020, California voters approved amendments to the CCPA, known as the CPRA,California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), which significantly modifies the CCPA, including by expanding consumers’ rights with respect to certain personal information and creating a state agency, the California Privacy Protection Agency (“CPPA”), to oversee implementation and enforcement efforts. The CPPA is able to finance operations through penalties issued and with the CPRA’s removal of the mandatory cure period from CCPA, we will have less warning before compliance risk results in legal action. The CPRA’s amendments became effective on January 1, 2023. The CCPA contains exemptions for medical information governed by the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, and for PHI collected by a covered entity or business associate governed by the privacy, security, and breach notification rule established pursuant to HIPAA.

TheOn September 23, 2025, the CPPA hasfinalized released for public comment draftits regulations on risk assessments, cybersecurity assessments, and automated decision-making technologies, which close on February 19, 2025.technologies. These regulations are the final components of the CPRA's amendments to the CCPA, which granted the CPPA the authority to pass additional regulations. These regulations in their draft form contain substantial new compliance obligations with respect to PII we process.

The CCPA prompted the passage of “copycat” legislation in a number states. It also prompted passage of consumer privacy laws that protect consumer health data specifically, such as the Washington My Health My Data Act. These state laws generally exempt HIPAA regulated covered entities and business associates, PHI, and/or personal information collected in the context of employment and business-to-business relationships. However, this patchwork of state laws may still add additional complexity, variation in requirements, restrictions and potential legal risk, require additional investment of resources in compliance programs, impact strategies and the availability of previously useful data and could result in increased compliance costs and/or changes in business practices and policies.

Removed

The CCPA has prompted a number of proposals for new federal and state-level privacy legislation. Such proposed legislation, if enacted, may add additional complexity, variation in requirements, restrictions and potential legal risk, require additional investment of resources in compliance programs, impact strategies and the availability of previously useful data and could result in increased compliance costs and/or changes in business practices and policies. For example, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, which became effective January 1, 2023, gives Virginia residents expanded rights to access and creates additional obligations on companies covered by the legislation, and the Nevada Privacy Law, which became effective on October 1, 2019, requires businesses to give website users the option to opt-out of the sale of their data, but is otherwise significantly more narrow than the other laws mentioned. As of February 1, 2025, general State privacy laws are in effect in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Montana, New Jersey, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, and New Hampshire. Additional general state privacy laws have been passed and will go into effect in 2025 in Tennessee, Minnesota, and Maryland, and in 2026, in Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island.

Reworded

While the CPRA/CCPA is an example of consumer privacy law, the NAIC’s Model Insurance Data Security Law (the "Model law") is a different type of law focused on securing insurance licensees’ information systems. Versions of this Model Law have been passed in many states and are expected to be passed in more states in the coming years. Similar to HIPAA, the Model Law requires the implementation of technical, administrative, and procedural information security practices and procedures and includes reporting requirements for data breaches. These Model Laws exist in a majority of states and are typically enforced by state insurance regulators.

Our business and operations may also be subject to federal, state, and local consumer protection laws governing marketing communications, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act,Act (“TCPA”), which places restrictions on the use of automated tools and technologies to communicate with wireless telephone subscribers or communications services consumers generally and the CAN-SPAM Act, which regulates the transmission of marketing emails. Under the TCPA, entities using an automatic telephone dialing system to send communications must obtain prior express consent for non-marketing communications and prior express written consent for marketing communications. The TCPA has a private right of action, allowing individuals who have received unsolicited communications (phone calls, text messages or faxes) made using an “automatic telephone dialing system” to seek statutory damages of $500 per violation, or $1,500 if the violation was made willfully or knowingly. Despite our compliance efforts, we could nevertheless be forced to defend private class actions or government enforcement based on the communications we send to members.

As described above, substantially all of our relevant member data is maintained on our technology platform, AVA, which aggregates and provides us with access to extensive member datasets, including individually identifiable PHI. As a result, any breach of our technology platform could expose us to substantial liability under HIPAA, the HITECH Act and other applicable laws, regulations or rules. See “Risk Factors—SecurityCybersecurity breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business or our members, or prevent us from accessing critical information and expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.”

As a corporate entity, we are not licensed to practice medicine. Many states in which we operate through our subsidiaries limit the practice of medicine to licensed individuals or professional organizations exclusively owned and comprised of licensed individuals, and business corporations generally may not exercise control over the medical decisions of physicians.licensed physicians or other licensed clinicians. Statutes, regulations and court decisions relating to the practice of medicine, fee-splitting between physicians and referral sources, and similar issues vary widely from state to state. In addition, various state laws also generally prohibit the sharing of professional services income with nonprofessional or business interests. While we endeavor to comply with state corporate practice of medicine laws and regulations as we interpret them, the laws and regulations in these areas are complex, changing, and often subject to varying interpretations. The interpretation and enforcement of these laws vary significantly from state to state.

Reworded

Under business support services agreements between certain of our subsidiaries and affiliated physician-owned professional groups, these groups retain sole responsibility for all medical decisions, as well as for hiring and managing physicians and other licensed healthcare providers, developing operating policies and procedures, implementing professional standards and controls, and maintaining malpractice insurance. Regulatory authorities and other parties may assert that, despite the business support services agreements and other arrangements through which we operate, we are engaged in the prohibited corporate practice of medicine or that our arrangements constitute unlawful fee-splitting. Penalties for violations of the corporate practice of medicine or fee-splitting laws vary by state and may result in physicians being subject to disciplinary action, as well as to forfeiture of revenue from payors for services rendered. For business entities such as us, violations may also bring both civil and, in more extreme cases, criminal liability for engaging in medical practice without a license, our agreements could be found legally invalid and unenforceable (in whole or in part) or we could be required to restructure our contractual arrangements. Recently, Oregon and California have passed laws codifying and strengthening their existing corporate practice of medicine prohibitions in ways which may require us to adjust contractual arrangements with our affiliated physician-owned professional groups, and we are aware of a number of other states considering similar legislation.

Alignment is a next generation, consumer-centric and clinically focused platform designed to improve the healthcare experience for seniors. We deliver this experience through our Medicare Advantage plans, which are customized to meet the needs of a diverse array of seniors. Our innovative model of consumer-centric healthcare is purpose-built to provide seniors with care as it should be: high quality, low cost and accompanied by a vastly improved consumer experience. We combine a proprietary technology platform and a high-touch clinical model that enhances our members’ lifestyles and health outcomes while simultaneously controlling costs, which allows us to reinvest savings back into our platform and products to directly benefit the senior consumer.consumers.

Our model is based on a flywheel concept, referred to as our “virtuous cycle,” which reflects our unique ability to manage healthcare expenditures while maintaining quality and member satisfaction — a distinct and sustainable competitive advantage.

Removed

To execute upon this concept, we start by ingesting medical and demographic data through our proprietary AVA technology platform. AVA’s predictive algorithms provide unique insights into each member and identify those most at risk of an acute event. Our information-enabled care model is then combined with clinical engagement by our employed clinical teams known as Care Anywhere to improve healthcare outcomes for our members. For example, our high-touch clinical model proactively manages chronic conditions and assists with post-discharge care navigation to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and readmissions, which in turn improves health outcomes and quality while lowering overall costs. We then reinvest medical cost savings into richer coverage and benefits, which propels growth in revenue and membership while maintaining margin discipline. The strength of our model is further reinforced by delivering a premium member experience. Our concierge and a clinical service hotline is available 24/7 at no additional cost to our members and our state-of-the-art in-house call centers provide us with more consistency and control over member-facing functions.

Our virtuous cycle, based on the principle of doing well by doing good, is highly repeatable and a core tenet of our ability to continue to expand in existing and new markets in the future. The five-year compounded growth rate through December 31, 2024 of revenue and the number of members enrolled in our HMO and PPO contracts ("Health Plan Membership") is 29% and 31% respectively.

Medicare Advantage Background

Removed

Today, seniors are confronted with a healthcare landscape that is fragmented across disparate point solutions, tools and vendors, without an accessible, coordinated approach to comprehensive care delivery. Under the traditional Medicare fee-for-service ("FFS") model, seniors receive access to hospital insurance benefits (“Part A”) and outpatient services (“Part B”) directly from CMS. Original Medicare (Part A and B) does not include prescription drug coverage (“Part D”), and most seniors enrolled in original Medicare opt to obtain Part D and other protection for gaps in their coverage by purchasing costly Medicare supplement insurance plans. In contrast, Medicare Advantage plans are direct-to-consumer and provide a single point of care delivery for Part A, Part B and often Part D coverage. Medicare Advantage penetration of the Medicare market is rapidly increasing given the enhanced benefits and coverage that Medicare Advantage plans offer relative to traditional Medicare FFS. In 2024, approximately 54% of the Medicare eligible population, or approximately 33 million seniors, were enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan. Industry projections have forecasted a continued increase in the Medicare Advantage penetration rate from approximately 54% to approximately 64% by 2033.

Medicare Advantage allows one entity to influence the entirety of a senior’s healthcare through a singular, direct-to-consumer product. We contract with CMS under the Medicare Advantage program to provide health insurance coverage to Medicare eligible persons under HMO and PPO plans in exchange for a payment per member per month ("PMPM"). The PMPM payment varies based on geography, CMS Star ratings and certain population-specific risk factors. Under these value-based contracts, we assume the economic risk of funding our members’ healthcare, supplemental benefits and related administration costs. By transferring the economic risk to managed care companies like Alignment, CMS has enabled us to focus on proactive, cross-disciplinary care targeted at improving health outcomes and lowering unnecessary healthcare expenditures.

Removed

The Medicare Advantage regulatory framework is designed to reward plans that achieve the triple aim of high-quality care, low costs and better experience. CMS payments to Medicare Advantage plans are allocated in each county or region based on a bidding system. Each plan submits a bid based on its estimated costs per enrollee for services covered under Medicare Parts A and B. Plans that have a low enough cost structure to bid under the benchmark are entitled to rebates, which enable those plans to offer enhanced supplemental benefits and medical coverage to their members, which in turn boosts membership growth and therefore revenue. CMS further measures Medicare Advantage beneficiaries’ clinical outcomes and experience with their health plans and the healthcare system through a Five Star Quality Rating System. Medicare Advantage plans are eligible to receive additional economic incentives based on their Star rating.

Removed

Due to the competitive nature of CMS’s bidding system, only those plans that are able to provide low cost and high-quality outcomes will be able to offer enhanced benefit options, which is critical to achieving sustainable membership and growth on a long-term basis.

Removed

Under the Medicare Advantage system, our members typically enroll with us for a one-year period that can be renewed on an annual basis, resulting in revenue that is principally based on a subscription-like PMPM recurring revenue model. This model provides us with significant visibility into our short-term financial performance, particularly given that the substantial majority of our members continue to choose Alignment after their initial selection year. Further, our HMO and PPO plans covered under Medicare Advantage contracts with CMS are generally renewed for a calendar year term, unless CMS notifies us of its decision not to renew by May 1 of the year in which the contract would end. When carefully managed, this annual renewal process provides a measure of stability and predictability to our short-term revenue streams, allowing us to focus on improving health quality outcomes and lowering healthcare expenditures for our population through enhanced member care on a long-term basis.

•Capitalize on Our Existing Market Growth Opportunity: Our ability to attract and retain members to grow in our existing markets depends on our ability to offer a superior value proposition. We routinely take market share from large established players in highly competitive markets, a key source of our health plan membership growth in excess of the industry average. We believe that there are still significant opportunities for future growth even in some of our most mature markets where we have aapproximately 10-30% market share. AccordingAs of January 1, 2026, we have approximately 275,300 Health Plan Members, which, according to CMS data, our approximately 209,900 Health Plan Members represent only 5%6% market share of Medicare Advantage enrollees in our markets.

•Provide Superior Service, Care and Consumer Satisfaction: We are highly focused on providing superior service and care to our members and on maintaining high levels of consumer satisfaction, which are key to our financial performance and growth. The CMS Five Star Quality Rating System provides economic incentives to Medicare Advantage plans that achieve higher Star ratings by (i) meeting certain care criteria (such as completing particular preventative screening procedures or ensuring proper follow-up care is provided for specific conditions or episodes) and (ii) receiving high member satisfaction ratings. These incentives impact financial performance in the year following the CMS Rating Year (for example, CMS’s announcement of the 20252026 Ratings occurred in the second half of 20242025 and will impact our financial performance in 20262027). InOne aggregate,hundred more than 98%percent of our health plan members are enrolled in plans rated 4 stars and above, meaning the vast majority ofour members consistently receive a high-quality care experience, as defined under CMS star measurement criteria. Additionally, theThe California HMO plan has achieved a 4 star or greater rating for sevennine consecutive years.

•Invest in our Platform and Growth: We plan to continue to invest in our business in order to further develop our AVA platform, pursue new expansion opportunities and create innovative product offerings. In addition, in order to maintain a differentiated value proposition for our members, we continue to invest in innovative product offerings and supplementarysupplemental benefits to meet the evolving needs of the senior consumer. We anticipate further investments in our business as we expand into new markets and pursue strategic acquisitions, which we expect will primarily be focused on healthcare delivery groups in key geographies, standalone and provider-sponsored Medicare Advantage plans and other complementary risk bearing assets.

Reworded

•Navigate Seasonality to our Business: Our operational and financial results will experience some variability depending upon the time of year in which they are measured. We experience the largest portion of member growth during the first quarter, when plan enrollment selections made during the annual enrollment period ("AEP") from October 15th through December 7th of the prior year take effect. As a result, we expect to see a significant percentage of our member growth occur on January 1 of a given calendar year. As the year progresses, our per-member revenue often declines as new members join us, typically with less complete or accurate documentation (and therefore lower risk-adjustment scores), and senior mortality disproportionately impacts our higher-acuity (and therefore greater revenue) members. Medical costs will vary seasonally depending on a number of factors, but most significantly the weather.seasons. Certain illnesses, such as the influenza virus, are far more prevalent during colder months of the year, which will result in an increase in medical expenses during these time periods. We therefore expect to see higher levels of per-member medical costs in the first and fourth quarters. The design of our prescription drug coverage (Medicare Part D) results in coverage that varies as a member’s cumulative out-of-pocket costs pass through successive stages of a member’s plan period, which begins annually on January 1 for renewals. We anticipate that, startingStarting in 2025, the benefit redesign under the Inflation Reduction Act will resultresulted in much more moderate seasonality than we have experienced in past years. Members will still pass through the benefit phases, but our share of the total liability will beis more consistent through each phase than it has been in the past. In addition, we expect our corporate, general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future to support our growth. Due to the timing of many of these investments, including our primary sales and marketing season, we typically incur a greater level of investment in the second half of the year relative to the first half of the year.

We define Health Plan Membership as the number of members enrolled in our HMO and PPO contracts as of the end of a reporting period. We believe this is an important metric to assess growth of our underlying business, which is indicative of our ability to consistently offer a superior value proposition to seniors. This metric excludes third-party payor members with respect to which we are at-risk for managing their healthcare expenditures, which represented approximately 300 and 400 members as of December 31, 20242025 and December 31, 2023.2024, respectively. It also excludes approximately 8,3006,400 and 7,3008,300 ACO REACH members as of December 31, 20242025 and December 31, 2023,2024, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by our management and our Board to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operating plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA provides useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as we do not consider the excluded items to be part of our ongoing results of operations. Given our intent to continue to invest in our platform and the scalability of our business in the short to medium-term, we believe Adjusted EBITDA over the long term will be an important indicator of value creation.

Our recognized premium revenue for the Alignment Health PlansPlan is subject to a minimum annual medical loss ratio (“MLR”) of 85%. The MLR represents medical costs as a percentage of premium revenue. The Code of Federal Regulations defines what specifically constitutes medical expenses and premium revenue for the MLR test, and if the minimum MLR is not met, we are required to remit a portion of the premiums back to the federal government. The amount remitted, if any, is recognized as an adjustment to premium revenues in the consolidated statement of operations.

The third-party also assumes specified upside and downside financial riskrisks relative to the ACO’s performance. As a result of this arrangement, revenue is recorded on a net basis within other revenue on the consolidated statement of operations for the yearyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

•Capitalize on Our Existing Market Growth Opportunity: Our ability to attract and retain members to grow in our existing markets depends on our ability to offer a superior value proposition. We routinely take market share from large established players in highly competitive markets, a key source of our health plan membership growth in excess of the industry average. We believe that there are still significant opportunities for future growth even in some of our most mature markets where we have approximately 10-30% market share.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, certain litigation costs, gains or losses on sale of property and equipment, and equity-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by our management and our Board to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operating plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA provides useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as we do not consider the excluded items to be part of our ongoing results of operations. Given our intent to continue to invest in our platform and the scalability of our business in the short to medium-term, we believe Adjusted EBITDA over the long term will be an important indicator of value creation.
