ModivCare’s solutions are designed to help health plans manage risks, close care gaps, reduce costs, and connect members to care. Through the combination of its historical NEMT business, its in-home personal care business that consists of Simplura Health Group (“Simplura”) and Care Finders Total Care LLC (“Care Finders”), along with its recent addition of the remote patient monitoring business through its acquisition of VRI Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“VRI”). ModivCare now has united four complementary healthcare businesses that serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations.
Business Highlights
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Greenleaf, the Company continued in 2021 the transformation of its business and technology that had positive impacts on our clients, transportation providers and members, as detailed below.
Some of these transformational efforts included:
We enhanced our senior leadership, resulting in an experienced team with a track record of operational excellence, including our Chief Human Resource Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Information Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, and in 2022, President Transportation, President Home and Chief Commercial Officer
We acquired Care Finders Total Care LLC in 2021, an in-home personal care business, and VRI Intermediate Holdings, LLC in 2021, a remote patient monitoring company
We successfully rebranded the Company in 2021, renaming the Company to Modivcare, defining our new Purpose, Vision, and Values

Proxy Statement Summary

Diversity and Inclusion Highlights
Our employees reflect the communities in which we live and work, and the customers we serve, and they possess a broad range of thought and experiences that have helped us achieve our successes to date. A key component of our growth and success is our focus on inclusion and diversity. We believe this commitment allows us to better our understanding of patient and customer needs, and develop technologies and solutions to meet those needs. We have made progress in our workforce diversity representation, including having a majority of our team members who self-identify as an underrepresented minority, and we continue to seek to improve in this important area. We have established goals to continue improving our hiring, development, and retention of diverse employees and our overall diversity representation, including within our executive management team, in an effort to be a socially responsible community member. Impacts of the Company’s diversity and inclusion initiatives include:
A Chief Diversity Officer, Nathan Vaughn, to lead our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives;
A 10-member Board that includes two members who self-identify as a female and two members who self-identify as an underrepresented minority; and
Company-wide leadership ranks (director and above) that consist of approximately 45% of individuals who self-identify as an underrepresented minority and approximately 44% who self-identify as female.
Environmental, Social and Governance Highlights
We have been implementing Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) practices intended to create value for our stockholders by building stakeholder trust, driving innovation, mitigating risk, fostering employee engagement, increasing productivity and reducing costs. We focus on ESG risks and opportunities that are believed to be the most relevant to our business and the most impactful to our stakeholders and the communities we serve. In furtherance of these efforts, we are actively:
evaluating where we may appropriately seek to reduce our and our partners’ environmental footprints associated with our operations;
investing in our employees and creating a diverse and inclusive working environment across our business offerings; and
developing appropriate governance structures and controls, goal setting strategies, and risk identification and mitigation programs to support our approach to long-term value creation.

Voting Procedures
The presence, in person or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be included in the number of shares present at the Annual Meeting for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. So-called “broker non-votes” (that is, when a broker or other entity that is the record holder of shares of Common Stock votes on a “routine matter” (as discussed below) without voting instructions from the beneficial owner but cannot vote on another particular proposal because the broker or other entity does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner regarding that proposal) are not relevant in determining the absence or presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting.
If you hold your shares in “street name” (that is, your shares are held in an account at and registered in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or similar organization), your broker or other organization may vote your shares under limited circumstances if you do not provide voting instructions before the Annual Meeting. These circumstances include voting your shares on so-called “routine matters,” such as the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm. With respect to routine matters, if you do not vote your shares, your bank, broker or other organization may vote your shares on your behalf or leave your shares unvoted. The election of directors, the non-binding advisory vote approving executive compensation and the approval of the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, however, are not considered routine matters. When a proposal is not a routine matter and the brokerage firm or other organization has not received specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm cannot vote the shares on that proposal. In circumstances when there are both routine matters and matters that are not routine being considered at the same meeting, such as at our upcoming Annual Meeting, the record owner brokers or other organizations that do not receive specific voting instructions from their beneficial owners are “entitled to vote” on the routine matter but not “entitled to vote” on the non-routine matters. This circumstance results in a “broker non-vote” on each of the non-routine matters. Accordingly, it is particularly important that beneficial owners instruct their brokers or other organizations how they wish to vote their shares on all matters to ensure their votes are counted as intended.
Approval of Proposal 1
Requires that the number votes cast for each director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast against the election of each director nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for or against the election of directors and thus will have no effect on the election of directors. In accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), cumulative voting is not permitted for the election of directors.
Approval of Proposals 2 and 3
Requires the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are considered present and entitled to vote on these proposals and will have the same legal effect as votes against such proposals. As a non-routine matter, we expect broker non-votes on these proposals, which will count neither as votes for nor against such proposals at the Annual Meeting because they represent shares not “entitled to vote” on the matters and will thus have no effect on the outcome of the voting on these proposals.

Voting Procedures

Approval of Proposal 4
Requires the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are considered present and entitled to vote on Proposal 4 and will have the same legal effect as votes against such proposal. There are not expected to be any broker non-votes associated with this proposal, as the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is a routine matter upon which record holder brokers and other organizations are entitled to vote the shares without specific instructions from their beneficial owners. As a result, if your shares are held in “street name” and you do not give your bank, broker or other organization instructions on how to vote, your shares may be voted by the bank, broker or other organization in its discretion.
Notice and Access
The Company uses the Internet as the primary means of furnishing proxy materials to stockholders. Stockholders will have received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) with instructions for accessing the full proxy materials and voting via the Internet. The Notice will also provide information on how stockholders may obtain, without charge, paper copies of our proxy materials. The Company’s proxy materials are also available at www.proxyvote.com.
Stockholder of Record
If you are the stockholder of record with respect to your shares (that is, your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A.), you may vote using the following methods:

In Person. You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting by requesting a ballot from a Company representative when you arrive.

Internet. You may vote by Internet at www.proxyvote.com. You will be prompted to enter your Control Number located on the Notice or proxy card and then follow the instructions provided to vote.

Telephone. You may vote by telephone at (800) 690-6903. You will be prompted to enter your Control Number located on the Notice or proxy card and then follow the instructions provided to vote.

Mail. If you requested printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy at the Annual Meeting by filling out the proxy card and following the voting instruction form included with your proxy materials and returning the properly completed proxy card in the envelope provided.
The deadline for registered stockholders to vote by Internet, telephone or mail is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 13, 2022.
Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name
If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name (that is, your shares are held in an account at and registered in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or similar organization), you may vote using the following methods:

In Person. You must obtain a “legal proxy” from the organization that holds your shares. A legal proxy is a written document that authorizes you to vote your shares held in street name at the Annual Meeting. Please contact the organization that holds your shares for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy. You must bring a copy of the legal proxy to the Annual Meeting and ask for a ballot from a Company representative when you arrive. In order for your vote to be counted, you must hand both the copy of the legal proxy and your completed ballot to a Company representative to be provided to the inspector of elections.

Internet and Telephone. See the materials you received from your broker or other record holder organization to determine your ability to instruct your broker or other organization how you wish to cast your vote by Internet or telephone.

Mail. If you requested printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by following the instructions of your bank, broker or other organization about how you wish to cast or instruct your organization how to cast your vote.

Changing or Revoking Your Vote
If you are a record holder of shares of Common Stock, after voting, you may change your vote one or more times by completing and returning a later dated and new proxy card to the Company, by voting again either by Internet or telephone as described in this Proxy Statement, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. You may request a new proxy card from the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address below. You may revoke a proxy before its exercise by filing written notice of revocation with the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 6900 Layton Avenue, 12th Floor, Denver, CO 80237, before the Annual Meeting. The last vote received chronologically will supersede any prior votes. The deadline for registered stockholders to change their vote by Internet or telephone is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 13, 2022.
If you hold your shares as a beneficial holder through a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or similar organization, please refer to your organization’s proxy card or other information forwarded by such organization to learn how you can revoke your proxy instructions and change your or your organization’s vote.
Failure to Provide Voting Instructions
Other than with respect to broker non-votes, if you submit a signed proxy card or vote by Internet or telephone, but do not indicate how you want your shares voted, the persons acting as proxies will vote your shares of Common Stock:
“FOR”
the election of the nominees, Richard A. Kerley, Stacy Saal and Christopher S. Shackleton, as Class 1 directors;
“FOR”
the non-binding advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation;
“FOR”
the approval of the
Employee Stock
Purchase Plan;
“FOR”
the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the 2022 fiscal year; and
with respect to any other matter that properly comes before the Annual Meeting, which is not expected, the proxy holders will vote the proxies in their discretion in accordance with their best judgment and in the manner they believe to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Solicitation of Proxies
The entire cost of soliciting proxies, including the costs of preparing, assembling and, to the extent applicable, mailing the Notice, this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and any additional soliciting materials furnished to stockholders, will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitation by mail, officers, directors or employees of the Company may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, facsimile or similar means without additional compensation. Upon request, the Company will pay the reasonable expenses incurred by record holders of the Common Stock who are brokers, dealers, banks or voting trustees, or their nominees, for sending proxy materials and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”) to the beneficial owners of the shares they hold of record.
As mentioned above, the Company is not presently aware of any matters that will be brought before the Annual Meeting that are not reflected in the attached Notice of the Annual Meeting. If any such matters are brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons acting as proxies will act or vote in accordance with their best judgment.

Proposal One:
Election of Directors
The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that the number of directors be between four and eleven, as determined by the Board. The Board currently has established the total number of directors to be ten directors divided into three classes, serving staggered three-year terms. Each class is to be as nearly equal in size as possible. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to the directors whose terms will then expire will be elected to serve from the time of their election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal.
Under the Company’s Bylaws, to be elected in an uncontested election such as the election at this year’s Annual Meeting, a director nominee must receive more votes cast for such director nominee than cast against such director nominee. In an uncontested election, an incumbent director nominee must submit an irrevocable resignation that will be given effect only if (i) that director receives fewer votes cast for the director than against the director, and (ii) the resignation is accepted by the Board in accordance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Board for such purpose. In the event an incumbent director does not receive more votes cast for the director than against in an uncontested election, the Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board is required to act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation no later than 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote. If any incumbent director does not receive more votes cast for the director’s election than against, the Board will publicly disclose its decision regarding accepting or not accepting a resignation within four business days of reaching its decision.
The Board proposes the election of Richard A. Kerley, Stacy Saal and Christopher S. Shackleton as Class 1 directors. The director nominees were nominated by the Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board, which nomination was confirmed by the Board. Each nominee has consented to serve as a nominee for election to the Board, to be named in the Proxy Statement and to serve as a member of the Board if elected by the Company’s stockholders. Information regarding each nominee is set forth below.
The Board has no reason to believe that the Board’s nominees will be unable to serve or will not serve if elected. If, at the time of the annual meeting, any nominee becomes unavailable for any reason for election as a director, the persons entitled to vote as proxy will vote for the election of such substitute(s), if any, as the Board may recommend.
Board Recommendation
Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the election of Richard A. Kerley, Stacy Saal and Christopher S. Shackleton as directors of the Company for the ensuing term.

Corporate Governance
Board Leadership Structure
The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide independent oversight of management. The Board understands that there is no single, generally accepted approach to providing Board leadership and recognizes that, depending on the circumstances, other leadership models might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board periodically reviews its leadership structure.
The Board has determined to separate the roles of Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chairman of the Board between two individuals. The Board believes this leadership structure is appropriate because it strengthens the Board’s independence and enables the CEO to focus on the management of our business.
Independence of the Board
The Board believes that independence depends not only on our directors’ individual relationships, but also on the Board’s overall attitude. Providing objective, independent judgment is at the core of the Board’s oversight function. Under our corporate governance guidelines, the Board, with the assistance of legal counsel and the Nominating and Governance Committee, uses the current standards for “independence” established by NASDAQ to evaluate any material relationship a director may have with the Company to determine director independence. A director is not considered “independent” unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company or any subsidiary in the consolidated group (other than as a director of ModivCare or one of our consolidated subsidiaries). Any relationship that falls below a threshold set forth by the standards for “independence” established by NASDAQ and our corporate governance guidelines, or is not required to be disclosed under applicable SEC rules, is automatically deemed to be an immaterial relationship. Our Board has affirmatively determined that all directors other than Mr. Greenleaf are independent directors.
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
The Board has an active role, as a whole and at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. The Board regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Company’s Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Audit Committee oversees management of financial risks. The Nominating and Governance Committee manages risks associated with the independence of the Board, potential conflicts of interest as well as legal and regulatory compliance. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through attendance at committee meetings or committee reports about such risks. In addition, members of senior management regularly provide reports to the Board about their respective areas of responsibility and any related risks. These reports include actions taken by senior management to monitor and control such risks.

Corporate Governance

Compensation Risks
Prudent risk management is necessary to deliver long-term, sustainable stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s executive compensation program supports the objectives described below without encouraging inappropriate or excessive risk-taking. In reaching this conclusion, the Compensation Committee considered in particular the following attributes and risk mitigation features of our compensation program:
our program’s emphasis on long-term, equity-based compensation discourages risk-taking that produces short-term results at the expense of building long-term stockholder value;
the maximum payout levels for bonuses and equity-based compensation are capped by the Compensation Committee;
the Compensation Committee can exercise negative discretion to reduce annual cash incentive compensation payments;
the Compensation Committee uses an independent compensation consultant that performs no other services for the Company, except at the direction of the Compensation Committee;
the Compensation Committee has the authority to make retroactive adjustments to incentive compensation pursuant to the Company’s clawback policy; and
the Compensation Committee reviews, in consultation with the Company’s outside compensation advisors, data contained in our peers’ proxy filings, to arrive at a compensation program that is consistent with our peers and aligns with the interests of the Company’s stockholders.
Communication with the Board
Stockholders may communicate with the Board as a whole, the non-management directors or any individual director, by sending a letter to ModivCare Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 6900 Layton Avenue, 12th Floor, Denver, CO 80237. In the letter, the stockholder must identify him or herself as a stockholder of ModivCare. The Corporate Secretary may require reasonable evidence that the communication is being made by or on behalf of a stockholder before the communication is transmitted to the individual director or to the Board as a whole. Depending on the subject matter, the Corporate Secretary will either (i) promptly forward to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee and the General Counsel any communication alleging legal, ethical or compliance issues by management or any other matter deemed by the Corporate Secretary to be potentially material to the Company or (ii) not forward to the Board, any committee or any director, any communications of a personal nature or not related to the duties of the Board, including, without limitation, junk mail and mass mailings, business solicitations, routine customer service complaints, new product or service suggestions, opinion survey polls or any other communications deemed by the Corporate Secretary to be immaterial to the Company.
Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees
During fiscal year 2021, the Board held 15 meetings. In addition, during fiscal year 2021, the Audit Committee held five meetings, the Compensation Committee held five meetings, and the Nominating and Governance Committee held five meetings. During fiscal year 2021, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the meetings of our Board and of the Committees on which each director served.
Members of the Board and its committees also consulted informally with management from time to time and acted at various times by written consent without a meeting during fiscal year 2021. Additionally, the independent members of the Board met in executive session regularly without the presence of management.
The Board has an internal policy that all of the directors should attend (either telephonically or in person) the annual meeting of stockholders, absent exceptional cause. All of the directors who were directors at the time of the meeting attended the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board has three separately designated standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee, each as described below. The Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance Committees are each governed by a written charter approved by the Board. A copy of each committee’s charter is available on our website at www.ModivCare.com/governance. ModivCare intends to disclose any amendments to these charters required by the SEC or listing standards of NASDAQ at the same location on our website. The information contained on our website is not part of, and is not incorporated by reference in, this Proxy Statement or any other report we file with or furnish to the SEC.

Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Kerley (Chairperson), Ms. Norwalk, Mr. Samant and Mr. Wright.
The primary function of our Audit Committee is to assist our Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee management’s conduct of our financial reporting process, including review of our financial reports and other financial information, our system of internal accounting controls, the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors the performance of our internal audit staff and independent auditors, and, together with our Nominating and Governance Committee, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements,. Our Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint, retain, compensate, evaluate and terminate our independent auditors and to approve all engagement fees and terms for our independent auditors. In addition, our Audit Committee provides oversight to the Company’s information security programs.
The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent as defined by the applicable NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules. The Board has determined that Mr. Kerley is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee currently consists of Mr. Kerley (Chairperson), Mr. Carter and Ms. Saal.
The primary function of our Compensation Committee is to assist our Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to compensation of our executives. These responsibilities include reviewing our general compensation philosophy for executive officers, overseeing the development and implementation of compensation programs for executive officers and reviewing compensation levels, including incentive and equity-based compensation, for executive officers, all other employees, directors and Board committee members. Our Compensation Committee determines and approves compensation for our executive officers and administers our incentive and equity-based compensation plans. In doing so, it considers recommendations made by our CEO meeting in executive session with the Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee also reviews, and makes recommendations to the Board regarding, the compensation of our CEO. Under its charter, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, form and delegate all or a portion of its authority, duties and responsibilities to one or more subcommittees or to an officer of the Company (so long as such officer does not decide his or her own compensation).
In 2021, the Compensation Committee continued the engagement of an independent compensation consultant, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”), a nationally recognized consulting firm, to review the executive compensation programs (including executive pay levels) and assist in structuring short-term and long-term incentive programs for executive and operational management. Meridian reports directly and solely to the Compensation Committee. Meridian does not provide any other services to the Company, except at the direction of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Meridian pursuant to the applicable rules and concluded that Meridian’s work did not raise any conflict of interest that would prevent it from independently representing the Compensation Committee.

The primary functions of our Nominating and Governance Committee are to establish criteria for selecting new directors, identifying, screening and recruiting new directors, recommend to our Board a slate of director nominees for election at our next annual meeting of stockholders, monitor legal and regulatory compliance in coordination with our Audit Committee, and develop and recommend to our Board a set of corporate governance principles. The Committee is directed to assist the Board and management in furthering and promoting the Company’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Director Nomination Process
Director Qualifications
Nominees for director are selected on the basis of outstanding achievement in their careers and other factors, including: board experience; education; whether they are independent under applicable NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules; financial expertise; integrity; ability to make independent, analytical inquiries; understanding of the business environment; industry experience; and willingness to devote adequate time to Board and committee duties. The proposed nominee should also be free of conflicts of interest that could prevent such nominee from acting in the best interest of ModivCare and our stockholders. Additional special criteria apply to directors being considered to serve on a particular committee of the Board. For example, members of the Audit Committee must meet additional standards of independence and have the ability to read and understand ModivCare’s financial statements.
Director Nominee Selection Process
In evaluating potential director nominees, including those identified by stockholders, for recommendation to our Board, our Nominating and Governance Committee seeks individuals with talent, ability and experience from a wide variety of backgrounds, and considers attributes such as race, ethnicity, gender, and cultural background when reviewing candidates for our Board and in assessing our Board’s overall composition, in an effort to provide a diverse spectrum of experience and expertise relevant to a diversified business enterprise such as ours. Although we have no minimum qualifications, a candidate should represent the interests of all stockholders, and not those of a special interest group, have a reputation for integrity and be willing to make a significant commitment to fulfilling the duties of a director.
Our Nominating and Governance Committee will screen and evaluate all recommended director nominees based on the criteria set forth above, as well as other relevant considerations. Our Nominating and Governance Committee will retain full discretion in considering its nomination recommendations to our Board. In identifying, evaluating and nominating individuals to serve as directors, our Board and its Nominating and Governance Committee do not rely on any preconceived guidelines or rules. Rather, our Board and its Nominating and Governance Committee believe that the Company is best served by directors with a wide range of perspectives, professional experiences, skills and other individual qualities and attributes and who come from diverse backgrounds.
To become a nominee, an incumbent director must also submit an irrevocable resignation to the Board that is contingent upon (a) such director receiving more votes cast against the director’s election than for the director’s election in the uncontested election, and (b) acceptance of that resignation by the Board in accordance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Board for such purpose. The incumbent director must also complete and submit a questionnaire with respect to his or her background and execute a written representation and agreement (the “Director/Prospective Director Agreement”).
The Director/Prospective Director Agreement requires directors and nominees to disclose certain types of voting commitments and compensation arrangements and represent that the director or nominee, if elected, would be in compliance with all applicable corporate governance, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, securities ownership and stock trading policies and guidelines of the Company, and also provides for the immediate resignation of a director if such person is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have breached the Director/Prospective Director Agreement in any material respect.
The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider properly submitted stockholder recommendations for director candidates. Director candidates recommended by stockholders are given the same consideration as candidates suggested by directors and executive officers. The Nominating and Governance Committee has the sole authority to select, or to recommend to the Board, the nominees to be considered for election as a director.
The officer presiding over the annual meeting of stockholders, in such officer’s sole and absolute discretion, may reject any nomination not made in accordance with the procedures outlined in this Proxy Statement and ModivCare’s Bylaws. Under ModivCare’s Bylaws, a stockholder who desires to nominate directors for election at an annual meeting of stockholders must comply with the procedures summarized below. Interested stockholders may review ModivCare’s Bylaws, at no cost, on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, as Exhibit 3.4 to ModivCare’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, or by submitting a written request directed to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address given in the paragraph below.

A “Stockholder Associated Person” is, with respect to any stockholder, (a) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (b) any beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock of the Company owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder, and (c) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Stockholder Associated Person; and

such deficiency notice is given to the stockholder, as a majority of the Board reasonably determines. If the deficiency is not cured within such period, or if a majority of the Board reasonably determines that the additional information provided by the stockholder, together with the information previously provided, does not satisfy the requirements in any material respect, then a majority of the Board may reject such stockholder’s nomination.
Compensation of Non-Employee Directors
In assessing compensation elements and making compensation decisions with respect to our non-employee directors, the Compensation Committee engaged Meridian in 2021 to provide independent advice and recommendations. The non-employee director compensation program (as described below) was approved in 2017, and no changes have been made to the program since that time. The Compensation Committee also relies on information about the director compensation practices of a peer group of companies of similar size to the Company in related industries (see the information under the caption “Executive Compensation—Discussion and Analysis—Approach for Developing the Executive Compensation Program” below), as well as its own judgment and prior experience, in determining director compensation.
As compensation for their service as directors of the Company in 2021 (and consistent with the program approved in April 2017), each non-employee member of the Board received an $85,000 annual cash retainer. For service as committee chairs, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee received an additional retainer of $35,000 and the Chairpersons of the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee each received an additional retainer of $20,000. For service as Chairman of the Board, the Chairman of the Board received an additional retainer of $35,000. Members of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committees (other than the Chairpersons) received an additional retainer of $15,000, $7,500 and $7,500, respectively. Payment of the retainers were made on a monthly basis in advance of each month of service. The Company’s target value of the equity retainer for non-employee members of the Board in 2021 was $130,000, based on the closing stock price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Except for certain expense reimbursements noted below, no additional payments were made to non-employee members for participating in Board and committee meetings. Non-employee members of the Board may elect to receive unrestricted shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash compensation. Each of Messrs. Coulter, Samant and Wright and Ms. Saal elected to receive all or a portion of their 2021 director cash compensation in the form of unrestricted shares of Common Stock.
On February 10, 2021, Mr. Carter, Mr. Coulter, Mr. Kerley, Ms. Norwalk and Mr. Wright were each awarded 725 restricted stock awards under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2006 Plan”) for their annual equity award. On February 10, 2021, Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. was granted 725 stock equivalent units in lieu of an award to Christopher Shackelton. All awards vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.
On April 28, 2021, Dr. Graham, Ms. Saal and Mr. Samant were each awarded 649 restricted stock awards under the 2006 Plan for their prorated annual equity award.
On February 7, 2022, Mr. Carter, Mr. Coulter, Dr. Graham, Mr. Kerley, Ms. Norwalk, Ms. Saal, Mr. Samant and Mr. Wright were each awarded 1,223 restricted stock awards under the 2006 Plan for their annual equity award. On February 7, 2022, Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. was granted 1,223 stock equivalent units in lieu of an award to Christopher Shackelton. All awards vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.
Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board and meetings of Board committees.

All of Christopher Shackelton’s compensation for service on the Board inures to the benefit of CCP pursuant to this entity’s policy regarding Christopher Shackelton’s service on the board of companies in which it has an equity interest.
Stock Ownership Guidelines for Non-Employee Directors
Pursuant to our stock ownership guidelines, our non-employee directors are expected to own shares of our Common Stock with a value equal to five times their annual retainer (excluding compensation for board or committee chair, committee member or lead director positions held). Because Christopher Shackelton assigns all of his Board compensation to CCP as described above, he is excluded from these stock ownership guidelines.

Modivcare 2022 Proxy Statement

Corporate Governance

The following counts towards meeting the required holding level:
shares held directly or indirectly;
shares underlying any vested RSUs held under our equity-based director compensation program;
any unvested time-based restricted shares or RSUs held under our equity-based director compensation program (calculated on an assumed net after-tax basis); and
shares owned jointly with or in trust for, immediate family members residing in the same household.
Non-employee directors are not permitted to sell compensatory shares of our Common Stock until they have reached the required holding level, except if such sale is effected to satisfy tax obligations or to pay the exercise price of options. This holding requirement does not apply to shares purchased by a non-employee director in the market or from the Company for cash unless acquired by exercise of a compensatory option. In the event a non-employee director does not achieve his or her holding level set forth above and sells shares of our Common Stock in violation of the stock ownership guidelines, the Board will consider all relevant facts and take such actions as it deems appropriate under the circumstances. All of our non-employee directors were in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines as of December 31, 2021, with the exception of Dr. Graham, Ms. Saal, and Mr. Samant, who joined the Company in 2021 and are still subject to a grace period for compliance. The Company expects, however, that these directors will meet the guidelines over the next three to five years.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Common Stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of ModivCare.
To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports filed with the SEC and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) executive officers, directors and individuals who are greater than 10% beneficial stockholders of ModivCare complied with applicable Section 16(a) requirements during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among any of our directors and executive officers.
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
Policy Regarding Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
Pursuant to its written charter, the Audit Committee has adopted a Related Person Transaction Policy that, subject to certain exceptions, requires the Audit Committee (or the chair of the Audit Committee in certain instances) to review and either ratify, approve or disapprove all “transactions” with “related persons,” which have the meanings given to such terms in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction with a related person under the policy, the Audit Committee is to consider all relevant information and facts available to it regarding the transaction and take into account factors such as the related person’s relationship to the Company and interest in the transaction (direct or indirect), the terms of the transaction and the benefits to the Company of the transaction. No director is to participate in the approval of a related person transaction for which he or she is a related person or otherwise has a direct or indirect interest.
The Audit Committee reviews and assesses ongoing related person transactions, if any, on at least an annual basis to determine whether any such transactions remain appropriate or should be modified or terminated.
Each year our directors and officers complete Directors’ and Officers’ Questionnaires, which, among other things, are designed to elicit information relating to transactions with the Company in which the officer or director or any immediate family member of such officer or director has a direct or indirect interest. We also make inquiries quarterly of officers and directors to identify any

additional related person transactions that have arisen since the last inquiry as a means to ensure all potential transactions subject to the policy are captured. These questionnaires are reviewed by our General Counsel and any such transactions or other related person transactions are brought to the attention of the Audit Committee as appropriate.
Indemnification Agreement
The Company has entered into a registration indemnification agreement with each of the Coliseum Stockholders, pursuant to which the Company agreed to indemnify the Coliseum Stockholders, and the Coliseum Stockholders agreed to indemnify the Company, against certain matters relating to the registration of the Coliseum Stockholders’ securities for resale under the Securities Act. Additional information with respect to related party transactions with the Coliseum Stockholders is provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (Note 21, Transactions with Related Parties).
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Compensation Committee consists of Mr. Kerley (Chairperson), Mr. Carter, and Ms. Saal, who was appointed to the Compensation Committee at the July 2021 meeting of the Board of Directors. Mr. Coulter’s service on the Compensation Committee ended in the fourth quarter of 2021. No person who served as a member of the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 was a current or former officer or employee of ModivCare, or engaged in any transactions with us which was required to be disclosed by regulations of the SEC. None of ModivCare’s executive officers served as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a member of our Board or as a member of our Board’s Compensation Committee.

Executive Summary
Despite the continued impact of the COVID pandemic on our business and society at large, under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Greenleaf, and his experienced executive leadership team, the Company continued the transformation of its business and technology, which has had positive impacts on our clients, transportation providers and members, as detailed below.
Some of these transformational efforts include:
20+
years
Management continued to drive transformational growth through its six-pillar strategy

We strengthened our senior leadership, resulting in an experienced team with a track record of operational excellence, including our Chief Human Resource Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Information Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, and in 2022, President Transportation, President Home, and Chief Commercial Officer

We acquired Care Finders in 2021, an in-home personal care business, expanding our personal care business, which provides a platform for growth and increasing our impact on key social determinants of health, or SDoH

We acquired VRI, a remote patient monitoring company

We advanced key technology and center of excellence optimization initiatives

We successfully rebranded the Company in 2021, renaming the Company to Modivcare, defining our new Purpose, Vision, and Values
2022
We realigned our service offerings under two units; Transportation, including NEMT, and Home, which includes Personal Care, Monitoring, and Meals
The efforts of this strong leadership team resulted in a significant improvement in the financial results, with Adjusted EBITDA* increasing significantly for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, while revenue increased significantly for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, as demonstrated below.

*
Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) from continuing operations, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

The elements of our performance-based compensation program are as follows:
Component of
Performance-Based
Compensation
Description of Program
Short-Term Incentive Plan
(the “STI”)
The STI is designed to provide financial incentive to the executives for achieving in-year goals that are aligned to stockholder value creation.
Long-Term Incentive Program
(the “LTI”)
The LTI is designed to align the eligible executives’ incentives with our stockholders’ interests to achieve increases in our stock value.
STI Determinations
As further described below under “2021 Executive Compensation Program Decisions—Short-Term Incentive Plan,” the Compensation Committee recognized that despite 2021 being a very challenging year due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s continued virulence, management was able to achieve the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA budget as well as accomplish several beneficial operational and strategic objectives. These objectives included exceeding a 90% client retention rate, improving contact center performance metrics, and completing multiple significant acquisitions. Therefore, the Compensation Committee awarded a discretionary STI payout at 100% of target. As a result of their respective performance, cash awards were granted under the STI in 2021 to each of Messrs. Greenleaf, Meffert, Sampson, Wilson and Wray.
LTI Determinations
As further described below under “2021 Executive Compensation Program Decisions—Long-Term Incentive Program,” equity awards were granted under the LTI in 2021 to each of Messrs. Greenleaf, Meffert, Sampson, Wilson, and Wray based on their respective performances.
Stockholder Say-on-Pay and Company Response
In establishing and recommending 2021 compensation for the NEOs, the Compensation Committee considered the results of the Say-on-Pay vote at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. At the 2021 annual meeting, our stockholders approved our executive compensation for the 2020 fiscal year with approximately 98% of the votes cast in favor. Our Board recognizes that executive compensation is important to stockholders and takes this into account when reviewing the compensation program throughout the year. We believe that we have established a performance-based compensation plan that aligns the compensation paid to NEOs with value delivered to stockholders.

Discussion and Analysis
Compensation Committee Philosophy
ModivCare has a philosophy that compensation should be earned based on performance. As a result, we believe that compensation programs offered to NEOs should support the achievement of our strategic and financial goals and creation of stockholder value over the long term. Accordingly, our guiding compensation principles for fiscal year 2021 focused on:

attracting, retaining and motivating highly qualified strategic senior leaders needed to drive a healthcare services enterprise to succeed in today’s highly competitive marketplace;

linking a meaningful portion of executive compensation to achievement of key financial, operational, and capital allocation performance goals to ensure sustained business performance over time; and

aligning the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders and motivating stockholder value creation by offering compensation based on both long-term and annual business results;

motivating our executives to fulfill a high degree of business performance without encouraging excessive risk taking.
Looking forward to 2022, we are further enhancing the performance-based aspect of our compensation strategy by introducing performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”). With the introduction of PRSUs, more equity awards granted to our executives will be tied to common stock price appreciation target values, in addition to time-based vesting restrictions.
The two charts below illustrate the change from 2021 to 2022 in the percentage of our CEO’s total compensation that is performance-based.

2021 Compensation Components
The specific components of the 2021 compensation program for NEOs were as follows:
Component
Description
Purpose
Base Salary
Fixed cash component established upon hire (and adjusted from time to time) based on overall skills and experience.
Provide competitive fixed compensation to attract and retain executive talent, reward individual performance, and address market competitiveness.
Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “STI”)
The STI for our NEOs is based on Company financial and NEO individual performance metrics, as described further below.
Provide financial incentive to the executives to reward them for achieving specific strategic, organizational, financial and individual goals that are intended to improve stockholder value.
Long-Term Incentive Program (the “LTI”)
The LTI provides for the grant to the eligible NEOs of a combination, depending on the executive, of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs).
Our stock options provide NEOs with the right to purchase Company stock after a specified date, at an exercise price equal to the closing market price on the grant date.
Our restricted stock units provide NEOs with the right to receive shares of Company common stock on a specified date in the future after vesting occurs. RSUs retain the right to receive dividends on the underlying shares, however such dividends are not paid until the RSUs vest. RSUs do not provide voting rights.
Provide motivation to align the executives’ incentives with our stockholders’ interests in achieving increases in our stock value. The combination of stock options and RSUs furthered the Compensation Committee’s objectives of directly aligning executive compensation with stockholder interests, with (1) the stock option component motivating performance through stock price appreciation (i.e., stock options have no value if stock price does not appreciate), and (2) RSUs providing incentives for long-term retention of key executives.
Benefits and Perquisites
We provide benefits generally available to all employees and we provide additional benefits for NEOs. Perquisites for NEOs relate to enhanced insurance and other non-cash benefits. See the discussion below under the caption “—Benefits and Perquisites” for further detail.
Provide a competitive level of employee benefits; aids in attraction and retention of key executives.
Post-Termination Compensation
NEOs are eligible for payments post-termination, as specified below under the caption “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
Provide an appropriate level of payment in the event of a change in control or termination event in order to motivate executives to put the Company’s long-term objectives ahead of their own.
Other Policies
• Stock Ownership Guidelines
• Clawback Policy
• Anti-Hedging / Anti-Pledging Policy
Enhance alignment between executive and stockholder interests.

Executive Compensation

Approach for Developing the Executive Compensation Program
The compensation of our CEO is determined by the Compensation Committee, subject to the approval of the full Board excluding our CEO. Our CEO annually reviews the performance of each NEO, other than himself, relative to the annual performance goals established for the year. Our CEO then makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to all aspects of the compensation of the other NEOs who report directly to him, but the Compensation Committee exercises discretion and has the final decision with respect to executive compensation.
In 2021, the Compensation Committee engaged Meridian to assess the competitiveness of pay for the executive officers and provide independent advice and recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding executive compensation. In order to avoid conflicts of interest, Meridian only does work authorized by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee annually reviews Meridian’s independence as contemplated by the Compensation Committee’s charter and applicable NASDAQ rules, and determined in 2021 that there were no conflicts of interest.
We believe it is appropriate for NEO pay to be competitive with the market for comparable executives. To achieve this objective, we assess market data for a peer group of companies established by the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of its compensation consultant, from time to time. The peer group chosen for purposes of the 2021 compensation decisions is provided below. The group is composed of 12 health services related companies that were comparable to us in terms of business mix and size (e.g., revenue, EBITDA, and market capitalization) when it was chosen for 2021.
2021 Peer Group
Addus HomeCare Corporation
CorVel Corporation
LHC Group
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc.
Hanger, Inc.
Option Care Health, Inc.
American Renal Associates Holdings, Inc.
Ensign Group
National HealthCare Corporation
Capital Senior Living Corporation
HMS Holdings
Tivity Health
In addition to comparative market data (peer group and survey data), the Compensation Committee takes into consideration other factors, including global economic conditions and an individual’s role, tenure, experience, skills and performance when making compensation decisions.
2021 Executive Compensation Program Decisions
The following decisions were made for fiscal year 2021 regarding each of these compensation components:
Base Salary
The Compensation Committee has periodically reviewed and set salaries for NEOs at levels intended to be competitive, as further discussed under the caption “—Approach for Developing the Executive Compensation Program,” and to provide the appropriate level of fixed compensation for each individual’s role at the Company. In determining the NEOs’ base salaries, the Compensation Committee has considered the internal pay comparisons within the executive group at the Company, individual performance, overall financial performance of the Company, and market data, as appropriate. Annual base salaries for our NEOs were as follows:

Short-Term Incentive Plan
In the design of the 2021 STI plan, the Compensation Committee and management believed that the NEMT business would approach pre-pandemic levels, and thus developed financial performance targets based on such belief. As 2021 progressed, the COVID pandemic continued to have a significant impact on both our NEMT and personal care business, and it became clear that the financial performance targets in the 2021 STI plan may not be achieved due to such COVID-related disruptions. The principal effect on the NEMT business was the increasing unit cost the Company faced throughout 2021 related to, among other things, increasing operating costs for our transportation providers, longer average trip distances due to closed locations of care, and driver shortages. The Company’s personal care business was impacted by a shortage of in-home caregivers exacerbated by disparate vaccine and testing requirements across jurisdictions, thus leading to decreased hours in the personal care business. Due to these COVID-related disruptions, the Compensation Committee, at management’s request, considered and ultimately decided to implement an alternative discretionary STI plan for fiscal year 2021, based on whether the Company achieved the 2021 Adjusted EBITDA levels set out in the Company’s operating budget, with a maximum payout of 100% of target.
In February 2022, the Compensation Committee reviewed the financial and operational results of the Company. The Committee recognized that despite 2021 being a very challenging year due to the pandemic’s continued virulence, management was able to achieve the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA budget as well as accomplish several beneficial operational and strategic objectives. These objectives included exceeding 90% client retention rate, improving contact center performance metrics, and completing multiple significant acquisitions, including Care Finders and VRI. Therefore, the Compensation Committee awarded a discretionary STI payout at 100% of target. An individual named executive officer’s actual bonus was determined based on a target weighting of 50% Company financial performance and 50% individual performance goals. The Compensation Committee capped the maximum payout for each person at 100% of target, even in cases where a named executive officer overachieved their individual performance goals.

The amounts listed in this column are annualized targets and do not necessarily reflect the amounts actually paid to NEOs, which actual amounts are provided in the Summary Compensation Table below.
With respect to the portion of the STI that was tied to individual performance, the amount of the award for each executive was calculated as (A) 50% of the Target Incentive Plan Opportunity Value set forth above multiplied by (B) the percentage of individual performance objectives achieved. The CEO’s individual performance objectives centered around achievement of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA budget. For the other NEOs, performance objectives centered around, among other things:
achieving NEMT EBITDA margin targets;
achieving run-rate savings in claims by year-end;
achieving digitization targets by year-end;
driving annualized cost savings in NEMT;
completing rollout of all planned security systems by year-end; and
reducing attrition rates among the Company’s contact center workforce.
As a result of their respective performance, each of Messrs. Greenleaf, Meffert, and Sampson was determined to have achieved 100% of his performance goals. As a result, such NEOs were awarded 100% of their total target bonuses (prorated from his start date of February 26, 2021, in the case of Mr. Sampson). Mr. Dotts, who departed the Company in February 2021 was not eligible for a bonus for fiscal 2021. Mr. Wray joined the Company as Chief Human Resources Officer late in 2021 after having served as a

consultant in the role of Interim Chief Human Resources Officer and therefore did not have individual performance goals as part of the STI. The Compensation Committee awarded him a prorated portion of 50% of his Target Incentive Plan Opportunity Value for his service in 2021. Mr. Wilson was awarded 70% of his Target Incentive Plan Opportunity Value for his service in 2021.
Long-Term Incentives
In an effort to retain, motivate, and continue to align the Company’s executive officers’ interests with stockholders’ interests and stockholder value creation, the Compensation Committee grants long-term incentive awards under its LTI to the executive officers as deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee from year to year or as required by contractual arrangements, as applicable. In 2021, the Compensation Committee determined that awards consisting of both (1) stock options, which align executives’ interests with stockholders’ interests given their inherent performance-based value tied to stock price appreciation, and (2) restricted share units, which have inherent retention value, were the best equity compensation mix to meet the Company’s long-term objectives. In 2022, the Compensation Committee is further enhancing the performance-based aspect of its compensation strategy by introducing PRSUs to the LTI grants to executive officers in a ratio of 50% PRSUs, 25% restricted share units, and 25% stock options.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Mr. Greenleaf received an award in February 2021 as mandated by his employment agreement that consisted of 50% stock options with an exercise price per share equal to the closing stock price of the underlying shares of common stock on the grant date and 50% RSUs. Each of Messrs. Meffert, and Wilson received grants in February 2021 in connection with their employment arrangements with the Company. Mr. Sampson and Mr. Wray also received inducement grants on February 26, 2021 and October 27, 2021, respectively, in connection with their respective appointments. The Compensation Committee considered various factors in determining the value of the individual equity grants, including the individuals’ roles, performance, historical LTI grants, and market data.

Executive Compensation

Other Benefits and Perquisites
During fiscal year 2021, our NEOs received, to varying degrees, a limited amount of other benefits, including certain group life, health, medical and other non-cash benefits generally available to all salaried employees. More detail on these benefits and perquisites may be found in the “Summary Compensation Table.”
Other Compensation Policies
Stock Ownership Guidelines for NEOs
We believe that promoting stock ownership aligns the interests of our continuing NEOs with those of our stockholders and provides strong motivation to build stockholder value. In furtherance of these beliefs, we revised the stock ownership guidelines to increase the required ownership of the CEO and the other NEOs beginning in 2021. Under the new guidelines, continuing NEOs are expected to own shares of our Common Stock with a value equal to the following multiple of their respective base salaries:
Executive
Stock Ownership Guideline as a Multiple of Salary
CEO
5x annual base salary
Other NEOs
3x annual base salary
The following will count towards meeting the required holding level:
shares held directly or indirectly;
shares underlying any vested RSUs or PRSUs received under our equity-based compensation program;
shares underlying any unvested time-based restricted shares or RSUs received under our equity-based compensation program (calculated on an assumed net after-tax basis);
shares underlying any unvested PRSUs received under our equity-based compensation program to the extent that any volume-weighted average price performance-based vesting thresholds have been met (calculated on an assumed net after-tax basis);
shares underlying any in-the-money value of vested stock options; and
shares owned jointly with, or in trust for, immediate family members residing in the same household.
Continuing NEOs are required to hold all compensatory shares of our Common Stock until they have reached the required holding level described above. This holding requirement does not apply to shares purchased by an NEO in the market or from the Company for cash unless acquired by exercise of a compensatory option. In the event an NEO does not achieve his or her holding level set forth above and sells shares of our Common Stock in violation of the Company’s stock ownership guidelines, the Board will consider all relevant facts and take such actions as it deems appropriate under the circumstances. Mr. Greenleaf is currently the only NEO that meets the Stock Ownership Guidelines. Given that Messrs. Sampson and Wray joined the Company in 2021 and Mr. Meffert joined the Company in 2020, none of them met these guidelines at December 31, 2021. The Company expects, however, that these executives will meet the guidelines over the next two to four years. Since Messrs. Dotts and Wilson are no longer employees of the Company, this requirement is no longer applicable to them.
Clawback
It is the Board’s policy that the Compensation Committee will, to the extent permitted by governing law, have the sole and absolute authority to make retroactive adjustments to any excess cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to executive officers and certain other officers where the payment was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement. Any such incentive compensation received within the three fiscal years prior to the restatement is subject to retroactive adjustment. The Company may seek cash repayment from the executive, offset compensation due to the executive by the amount subject to retroactive adjustment or cancel the executive’s outstanding awards. Where applicable, we will seek to recover any amount determined to have been inappropriately received by the individual executive.

Executive Compensation

Anti-hedging / anti-pledging
We have a policy that prohibits employees, executive officers and the Board from engaging in any hedging or monetization transactions, or other financial arrangements that establish a short position in our Common Stock or otherwise are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value. In addition, we have a policy that prohibits our employees, executive officers and the Board from pledging our Common Stock as collateral for a loan or for a margin account.
Change in Control, Severance Arrangements and Severance Payments
During fiscal year 2021, we had either employment agreements or employment offer letters with each of our NEOs. The employment agreements with Mr. Greenleaf and Mr. Dotts, and the employment letters with Messrs. Sampson, Wray and Wilson provide for a severance payment upon the termination of employment under specified circumstances, including termination upon or following a change in control as described below under “—Employment Agreements and Offer Letters with the Named Executive Officers” and “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
Impact of Tax Treatment on Compensation
The Compensation Committee endeavors to structure compensation so that we may take a tax deduction, but it does not have a policy requiring that all compensation must be deductible and it may, from time to time, authorize compensation that is not tax deductible, including where it deems appropriate or necessary in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for our NEOs and where doing so would be in the best interests of the Company. For taxable years beginning after 2017, Section 162(m) of the IRC generally disallows tax deductions for annual compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to our NEOs.
Other provisions of the IRC can also affect compensation decisions. Section 409A of the IRC, which governs the form and timing of payment of deferred compensation, imposes sanctions, including a 20% additional tax and an interest penalty, on a recipient of deferred compensation that does not comply with Section 409A. The Compensation Committee takes into account the potential implications of Section 409A in determining the form and timing of compensation awarded to our executives and strives to structure its compensation plans to meet these requirements.
Section 280G of the IRC disallows a company’s tax deduction for payments received by certain individuals in connection with a change in control to the extent that the payments exceed an amount approximately three times their average annual compensation (an “excess parachute payment”) and Section 4999 of the IRC imposes a 20% excise tax on those payments. The Compensation Committee also takes the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 into account in structuring compensation, endeavoring to enable the Company to take a tax deduction and executives to avoid the excise tax. For example, our CEO’s employment agreement contains provisions reducing in certain circumstances parachute payments to an amount that will not constitute an excess parachute payment.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter and is comprised entirely of directors meeting the independence requirements of NASDAQ listing rules. The Board established this committee to discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of our CEO and each of our other executive officers. The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for decisions relating to all compensation plans, policies, and benefit programs as they affect the CEO and other executive officers.
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with ModivCare’s management the preceding section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” Based on this review and discussions with management, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the 2021 Annual Report through filing of this Proxy Statement.

Executive Compensation

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
General
The employment agreements, offer letters and the Company’s executive severance policy, as applicable during 2021 to each of Messrs. Greenleaf, Sampson, Meffert, Wray, Dotts and Wilson, provided for severance payments in the event of termination of employment under certain circumstances, including termination following a change in control (none of which include excise tax gross-ups). The receipt of the payments and benefits to these NEOs under the employment agreements, letters and policies are generally conditioned upon their complying with non-competition, non-solicitation/non-piracy and non-disclosure provisions. By the terms of such agreements, letters and policies, the executives acknowledge that a breach of some or all of the restrictive covenants described therein will entitle us to injunctive relief restraining the commission or continuance of any such breach, in addition to any other available remedies.
In entering into these agreements and letters and adopting the policy, the Compensation Committee considered legal and tax provisions, fairness to stockholders, tenure of each executive officer and general corporate practice to select the events that will trigger payments under the employment agreements, letters and policies, as noted below. The following summaries describe payouts that would have been made under the applicable arrangements if the termination event described had happened at the end of 2021, except that the description with respect to Mr. Dotts reflects the amounts that were actually paid in respect of the termination of his services.
Resignation by Employee for Good Reason
Mr. Greenleaf is entitled to certain payments upon a resignation for “Good Reason,” which is defined for purposes of Mr. Greenleaf as the occurrence of any of the following that is not cured within 30 days of executive’s written notice that the occurrence constitutes Good Reason: (i) a material reduction of executive’s position, duties, or responsibilities with the Company, including a requirement that the executive report directly to any person other than as provided in the agreement; (ii) a reduction of executive’s base salary other than a reduction which is generally applicable to all executives of the Company; or (iii) a material breach by the Company of the employment agreement. To be deemed a resignation for Good Reason, notice must be made by Mr. Greenleaf to the Company within 30 days of the occurrence establishing the facts supporting such termination and the resignation must occur within 90 days of the date of such notice.

Each of Messrs.

With respect to each of Messrs. Sampson, Meffert, Wray, and Wilson, “Cause” is defined as:

Pursuant to Mr. Greenleaf’s agreement, in the event of Disability, he would be entitled to a pro rata portion of any bonus earned for the then fiscal year through the date of termination and accelerated vesting of RSUs and option awards as if he had been employed for 24 months beyond the date of termination.

Termination upon or following a Change in Control
Each of Messrs. Greenleaf, Sampson, Meffert, Wray, and Wilson is entitled to certain payments upon termination in connection with or within 12 months (24 months in the case of Mr. Greenleaf) after a “Change in Control”, which is defined for these purposes as an event or events in which:
any person (other than persons who were employees of the Company more than one year before the transaction, or, in the case of Mr. Greenleaf other than (i) us or our subsidiaries, (ii) any fiduciary holding securities under our employee benefit plan or our subsidiaries, or (iii) any company owned by our stockholders) becomes the “beneficial owner” of 50% or more of our outstanding voting securities; or
we consummate (i) a merger or consolidation as more specifically described in the employment agreements or severance policy, as applicable, (ii) a liquidation or (iii) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our assets.
Each of Messrs. Sampson, Meffert, Wray, and Wilson is also entitled to certain payments if he resigns for Good Reason in connection with or within 12 months after a Change in Control. “Good Reason” is defined for these purposes for each of Messrs. Sampson, Meffert, Wray, and Wilson as the occurrence of any of the following that is not cured within thirty days of executive’s written notice that the occurrence constitutes Good Reason: (i) a material reduction of executive’s base salary other than a reduction which is generally applicable to all executives of the Company or (ii) a relocation of the executive to another Company facility or location more than 50 miles from the executive’s current Company location. To be deemed a resignation for Good Reason, notice must be made by the executive to the Company within 30 days of the occurrence establishing the facts supporting such termination and the resignation must occur within 120 days following the expiration of the Company’s 30-day cure period.
Had a Change in Control occurred during the term of Mr. Greenleaf’s employment agreement and he was terminated within 24 months following such Change in Control, Mr. Greenleaf would have been entitled to receive (i) a pro rata portion of any bonus earned for the then fiscal year through the date of termination, (ii) thirty months’ base salary and two and one-half (2.5) times the target bonus for the full fiscal year 2021, (iii) continued healthcare coverage for 18 months following the date of termination, and (iv) accelerated vesting of all unvested RSU and option awards. For each of Messrs. Sampson, Meffert, Wray, and Wilson, had a Change in Control occurred and he was either terminated or resigned for Good Reason within 12 months following such Change in Control, each would have been entitled to receive (i) a lump sum payment of 12 months’ base salary, (ii) continued healthcare coverage for six months following the date of termination, and (iii) accelerated vesting of all unvested RSU and option awards.
Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment Table
Our NEOs are not entitled to any payments or accelerated vesting of any equity awards solely in connection with or following a Change in Control. Our NEOs are only entitled to payment or accelerated vesting of equity awards (or other benefits) if there is a termination of employment in connection with or within 12 months (24 months in the case of Mr. Greenleaf) after a Change in Control, which is commonly referred to as a so-called “double-trigger” change in control arrangement.

Payments Made to Kevin Dotts upon Termination
In connection with Mr. Dotts’ termination of employment in 2021, which was treated as an involuntary termination for Good Reason and in connection with which he entered into a Transition and Separation Agreement with the Company, Mr. Dotts, pursuant to the terms of the Dotts Employment Agreement and subject to the Transition and Separation Agreement, was entitled to (i) a lump sum payment equal to 12 months of his then current base salary minus required tax and other withholdings; and (ii) subject to his timely enrollment in continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), fully-subsidized COBRA coverage for 12 months which is to be paid directly by the Company to the carrier. For a more detailed discussion of Mr. Dotts’ termination and the Transition and Separation Agreement, please refer to the section above captioned “Employment Agreements and Offer Letters with the Named Executive Officers—Kevin M. Dotts.”
CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure
Pay Ratio Methodology
To determine the estimated ratio of CEO pay to median employee pay (the “Pay Ratio”) in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, we considered our entire employee population of approximately 24,070 employees who received paychecks during fiscal 2021 (excluding the CEO), however, we did not include 7,213 employees of Care Finders or VRI, our recently-acquired subsidiaries. We used compensation paid during fiscal year 2021 to determine our median employee, and annualized pay for those employees who commenced work during fiscal year 2021. We then identified our median employee, whose Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) total compensation, as calculated in accordance with Item 402(u)(2) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, was $12,899 in fiscal year 2021. Our median employee is a caregiver working part-time with 20 hours per week or less.
The CEO pay used for purposes of calculating the Pay Ratio is $3,637,550, the SCT total compensation paid to our CEO, Daniel E. Greenleaf, from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.
As a result, the reasonable estimated ratio of CEO pay to median employee pay, calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act is 282:1. The SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules permit the use of estimates, assumptions, and adjustments. We believe that the foregoing pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules.
Please keep in mind that under the SEC’s rules and guidance, there are numerous ways to determine the compensation of a company’s median employee, including the employee population sampled, the elements of pay and benefits used, any assumptions made and the use of statistical sampling. In addition, no two companies have identical employee populations or compensation programs, and pay, benefits and retirement plans differ by country even within the same company. As such, our pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

Proposal Two:
Advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation
Section 14A of the Exchange Act provides shareholders an opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the “named executive officers” identified in the Summary Compensation Table of this document.
The Compensation Committee has considered that the holders of approximately 98% of the votes cast at each of our 2021 and 2020 annual meeting of stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in the Proxy Statement for those annual meetings.
As described in detail under the heading “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” above, our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate, and retain our NEOs, who are critical to our success. Under these programs, our NEOs are rewarded for the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals, corporate goals, and the realization of increased stockholder value. Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 33 for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 2021 compensation of our NEOs.
We believe that the compensation programs offered to our NEOs should support the creation of stockholder value and achievement of our financial goals. Accordingly, our guiding compensation principles focus on:
attracting, retaining, and motivating high-performing leaders;
aligning the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders, and incentivizing stockholder value creation;
linking a meaningful portion of executive compensation to achievement of key financial, operational, and capital allocation performance goals; and
maintaining a significant portion of compensation based on at-risk opportunities including equity awards tied to stock price.
Our Compensation Committee has a long history of performance-based pay practices and considers numerous factors when setting compensation for our NEOs including:
actual and adjusted EBITDA, earnings per share, return on equity performance, and stockholder value created;
goals and objectives set for each executive officer at the beginning of the year; and
recommendations of an independent third-party executive compensation consultant.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.
56
Modivcare 2022 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

|
Proposal Two

Other considerations include individual performance, internal pay comparisons within the executive group at the Company, overall financial performance of the Company, and market data.
Our annual incentive cash compensation and equity-based compensation programs are designed to be performance-based and to incentivize achievement of the Company’s short- and long-term financial, operation and strategic goals. Our long-term incentive program uses equity grants to incentivize performance and reward our executives for stockholder value creation. We believe this structure encourages an ownership mentality that motivates our management to create stockholder value over a multi-year period.
Our Compensation Committee continually reviews the compensation programs for our NEOs to ensure they achieve the desired goals of aligning our executive compensation structure with our stockholders’ interests and current market practices.
We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our NEO compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our NEOs’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the Company stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2021 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”
The Say-on-Pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. The Company values the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the NEO compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. We conduct this vote on an annual basis, and the next such vote will take place with our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the compensation of our named executive officers, as discolsed in this proxy statement.

Proposal Three:
Approval of ModivCare Inc. employee stock purchase plan
We are seeking stockholder approval of the ModivCare Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which, if approved by our stockholders, will permit employees of the Company to participate in the ownership of the Company in furtherance of our broader compensation strategy and to benefit from stock price appreciation, thus enhancing the alignment of employee and stockholder interests.
The material terms of the ESPP are summarized below. This description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the ESPP, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B.
Background
On April 28, 2022, the Board adopted the ESPP, subject to the approval by the Company’s stockholders. If the ESPP is not approved by the stockholders, the ESPP will be null and void. No offering will commence, and no shares will be available for purchase, pursuant to the ESPP until it is approved by the Company’s stockholders.
If the ESPP is approved, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock will be available for purchase pursuant to the ESPP, which represents approximately 6.96% of our outstanding Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) as of April 19, 2022. In establishing the shares reserved for purchase under the ESPP, our Board considered the potential dilutive impact to stockholders, the projected participation rate, equity plan guidelines provided by our compensation consultant and advice provided by outside counsel.
The Board adopted the ESPP to provide employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of Common Stock, and the Board believes the ESPP is instrumental in the company’s ability to attract, motivate and retain team members. The Board also believes that stock ownership by employees provides performance incentives and fosters long-term commitment to our benefit and to the benefit of our stockholders. Therefore, the Board urges stockholders to approve the ESPP.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the ModivCare Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
58
Modivcare 2022 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

|
Proposal Three

Purpose
The purpose of the ESPP is to enhance the Company’s ability to attract and retain the types of employees who will contribute to its long-range success by permitting them to participate in the ownership of the Company. The Board believes that participation in the ownership of the Company is necessary to remain competitive in our industry and is essential to recruiting and retaining the highly qualified individuals necessary to help us meet our goals.
Administration
The ESPP will be administered by the Compensation Committee.
Shares Subject to the ESPP
A total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock will be reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP, which, as of April 28, 2022, had a fair market value of $107.56 per share, based on the closing price of our common stock as reported on NASDAQ on the date the plan was approved by the Board. Shares authorized under the ESPP are subject to adjustment in accordance with its terms.
Eligibility
The Company’s employees, not including executive officers, and the employees of any of the Company’s designated subsidiary corporations will be eligible to participate in the ESPP, provided they may have to satisfy one or more of the following service requirements before participating in the ESPP, as determined by the Compensation Committee: (i) be employed by the Company or a designated subsidiary for at least six (6) months and (ii) maintain customary employment with the Company or one of its designated subsidiaries for at least 20 hours per week. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, approximately 2,518 employees will be eligible to participate in the ESPP.
Limitations
An employee may not be granted rights to purchase stock under the ESPP (x) if such employee immediately after the grant would own stock (or options to purchase stock) possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock or (y) to the extent that such rights would accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 (or such other limits imposed by the IRC) of the fair market value of our stock for each calendar year that the rights remain outstanding, as determined under Section 423 of the IRC.
The ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the IRC. The offering period for the ESPP will be approximately six (6) months beginning on or about each January 1st and July 1st of each year, however, the Compensation Committee may change the offering period subject to a maximum offering period as set forth in the IRC. On the first trading day of an offering period, each participant will be granted rights to purchase shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the ESPP, with any such purchase occurring on the last trading day of such offering period. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, will determine the terms of offerings under the ESPP.
The number of shares of Common Stock which a participant may purchase in an offering may be reduced if the offering is over-subscribed. If the Compensation Committee determines that, on a particular purchase date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the ESPP exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock then available under the ESPP, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as practicable and as the Compensation Committee determines to be equitable.
A participant may not transfer purchase rights under the ESPP other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided under the ESPP.

Modivcare 2022 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Proposal Three

Disqualifying Dispositions
Although the ESPP does not establish a holding period for any shares purchased in a particular offering, each participant is required to give notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the ESPP if such disposition or transfer is made within two (2) years after the offering date or within one (1) year after the purchase date.
Payroll Deductions
The ESPP permits participants to purchase shares of Common Stock through after-tax payroll deductions based on a designated percentage or dollar amount of each paycheck issued during the applicable offering period. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock will be an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 85% of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the applicable purchase date or (b) 85% (or such greater percentage as determined by the Compensation Committee) of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the first trading day of the applicable offering period. Subject to our insider trading policy, participants may withdraw from an offering at any time during such offering and will be paid their accrued contributions that have not yet been used to purchase shares of Common Stock. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment for any reason.
Corporate Transactions
In the event of certain specified significant corporate transactions, such as our merger or change in control, a successor corporation may assume, continue or substitute each outstanding purchase right. If the successor corporation does not assume, continue or substitute for the outstanding purchase rights, the offering in progress will be shortened and a new purchase date will be set and will occur prior to consummation of the corporate transaction. The participants’ purchase rights will be exercised on the new purchase date and such purchase rights will terminate immediately thereafter.
Amendment and Termination
The Compensation Committee has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP, at any time and for any reason, provided certain types of amendments will require the approval of our stockholders. The ESPP has a term of 10 years, unless terminated earlier by the Compensation Committee in accordance with the terms of the ESPP.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a brief discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to the ESPP. This discussion is based on current law, is not intended to constitute tax advice, and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular participant in light of his or her personal circumstances and does not describe foreign, state, or local tax consequences, which may be substantially different. Participants under the ESPP are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors.
General. The ESPP is intended to be an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the IRC. Under such a plan, no taxable income will be reportable by a participant, and no deductions will be allowable to the company, as a result of the grant or exercise of the purchase rights issued under the ESPP. Taxable income will not be recognized until there is a sale or other disposition of the shares acquired under the ESPP or in the event the participant should die while still owning the purchased shares.
If the participant sells or otherwise disposes of the purchased shares within two years after commencement of the offering period during which those shares were purchased or within one year of the date of purchase, the participant will recognize ordinary income in the year of sale or disposition equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date exceeded the purchase price paid for those shares. If the participant sells or disposes of the purchased shares more than two years after the commencement of the offering period in which those shares were purchased and more than one year from the date of purchase, or a participant still owns purchased shares at the time of death, then the participant will recognize ordinary

income in the year of sale, disposition or death in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the sale or disposition date over the purchase price paid for those shares or (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the offering date over the purchase price. Any additional gain upon the disposition will be taxed as a capital gain.
Limitations on Employer’s Compensation Deduction. If the purchased shares are sold or otherwise disposed of within two years after commencement of the offering period during which those shares were purchased or within one year after the date of purchase, then the Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction in the year of sale or disposition equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant as a result of such sale or disposition, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the IRC. No deduction will be allowed in any other case.
Certain Rules Applicable to “Insiders.” Employees who are executive officers or directors of the Company are subject to the reporting and “short swing” profits liability provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such provisions may restrict resale of the shares of Common Stock purchased under the ESPP. In addition, shares so received by a person deemed an “affiliate” of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) must be registered for resale by such person unless such resale complies with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Rule 405 under the Securities Act defines “affiliate” as “a person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with” the Company.
New Plan Benefits
Because the number of shares issued under the ESPP depends on the level of participation by its participants, we cannot determine the benefits or amounts that may be received by eligible participants in the future.
Stockholder approval of this Proposal 3 will require the affirmative vote the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote, at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes on this proposal presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal as brokers or other nominees are not entitled to vote on such proposals in the absence of voting instructions from the beneficial owner.
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the ESPP.

Proposal Four:
Ratification of appointment of independent registered public accounting firm
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 was KPMG LLP. The Audit Committee of the Board has selected KPMG as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
Although we are not required to do so, we believe that it is appropriate for us to request stockholder ratification of the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm. If stockholders do not ratify the appointment, though it may nevertheless retain KPMG, the Audit Committee will investigate the reasons for the stockholders’ rejection and reconsider the appointment. In addition, even if the stockholders ratify the selection of KPMG, the Audit Committee may in its discretion appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that a change is in the best interest of the Company.
The Company has been advised that representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if the representatives desire to do so. It is expected that the representatives will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.ModivCare.com/governance.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management its assessment and report on the effectiveness of ModivCare’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, which it made using the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Audit Committee has also reviewed and discussed with KPMG, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, its review and report on ModivCare’s internal control over financial reporting. ModivCare published these reports in its 2021 Annual Report.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG the audited consolidated financial statements of ModivCare for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Management represented to the Audit Committee that ModivCare’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Audit Committee also discussed with representatives of KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).
The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the confirming letter from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with KPMG its independence from ModivCare.
Based on these reviews and discussions and in reliance thereon, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the 2021 Annual Report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Adjustments
In addition to the financial results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this proxy statement includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the Company, which are performance measures that are not recognized under GAAP but that we use to measure the Company’s performance and management’s performance against pre-established performance targets for purposes of determining payouts under our STI. EBITDA is defined by us as income (loss) from continuing operations, net of taxes, before: (1) interest expense, net; (2) provision (benefit) for income taxes; and (3) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by us as EBITDA before certain items, including (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related charges, including severance and office closure and professional services costs related to our corporate reorganization; (2) equity in net (gain) loss of investee; (3) certain litigation related expenses, settlement income or other negotiated settlements relating to certain matters from prior periods; (4) certain transaction and related costs; and (5) COVID-19 related costs. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Our non-GAAP performance measures exclude certain expenses and amounts that are not driven by our core operating results and may be one time in nature. Excluding these expenses makes comparisons with prior periods as well as to other companies in our industry more meaningful. We believe such measures allow investors and other interested parties to gain a better understanding of the factors and trends affecting the ongoing operations of our business and how actual payouts under our STI were determined in 2021 and how they fit within the Company’s broader executive compensation program. We consider our core operations to be the ongoing activities to provide services from which we earn revenue, including direct operating costs and indirect costs to support these activities. In addition, our net gain or loss in equity investee is excluded from these measures, as we and our management do not have the ability to manage the venture in which we have made our investment, allocate resources within the venture, or directly control its operations or performance.
We urge you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business or the performance of our management.

5.
Offering Periods. This Plan shall be implemented by a series of Offering Periods, each of which shall be approximately six (6) months in duration, with new Offering Periods commencing on or about January 1 and July 1 of each year (or such other times as determined by the Committee).

Enrollment; Payroll Deductions. An Eligible Employee may elect to participate in this Plan by properly completing an Enrollment Form, which may be electronic, and submitting it to the Company, in accordance with the enrollment procedures established by the Committee. Participation in this Plan is entirely voluntary. By submitting an Enrollment Form, the Eligible Employee authorizes after-tax payroll deductions from his or her paycheck in an amount equal to the designated percentage or dollar amount of his or her compensation on each pay day occurring during an Offering Period (or such other maximum percentage as the Committee may establish from time to time before an Offering Period begins).

(c)
No Automatic Re-enrollment. A Participant must make an affirmative election to participate in this Plan and must complete a new Enrollment Form for each Offering Period, as elections will not carryover from one Offering Period to the next.
7.
Grant of Option. On each Offering Date, each Participant in the applicable Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase, on the Purchase Date, a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions by the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that in no event shall any Participant purchase more than such number of shares of Common Stock which Fair Market Value would exceed the calendar year limitation set forth in Section 4.
8.
Exercise of Option/Purchase of Shares. A Participant’s option to purchase shares of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on the Purchase Date of each Offering Period. The Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase the maximum number of whole shares that can be purchased with the amounts in the Participant’s notional account. No fractional shares may be purchased but notional fractional shares of Common Stock will be allocated to the Participant’s ESPP Account to be aggregated with other notional fractional shares of Common Stock on future Purchase Dates, subject to earlier withdrawal by the Participant in accordance with Section 10 or termination of employment in accordance with Section 11.
9.
Transfer of Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after each Purchase Date, the Company will arrange for the delivery to each Participant of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of his or her option. The Committee may permit or require that the shares be deposited directly into an ESPP Account established in the name of the Participant with a Designated Agent and may require that the shares of Common Stock be retained with such Designated Agent for a specified period of time. Participants will not have any voting, dividend or other rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to any option granted hereunder until such shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9.

Withdrawal.
(a)
Withdrawal Procedure. Subject to the Company’s insider trading policy, a Participant may withdraw from an Offering by submitting to the Company a revised Enrollment Form indicating his or her election to withdraw at least fifteen (15) days before the Purchase Date. The accumulated payroll deductions held on behalf of a Participant in his or her notional account (that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock) shall be paid to the Participant promptly following receipt of the Participant’s Enrollment Form indicating his or her election to withdraw and the Participant’s option shall be automatically terminated. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, no payroll deductions will be made during any succeeding Offering Period, unless the Participant re-enrolls in accordance with Section 6(a) of this Plan.
(b)
Effect on Succeeding Offering Periods. A Participant’s election to withdraw from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in succeeding Offering Periods that commence following the completion of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws.
11.
Termination of Employment; Change in Employment Status. Upon termination of a Participant’s employment for any reason, including death, disability or retirement, or a change in the Participant’s employment status following which the Participant is no longer an Eligible Employee, which in either case occurs at least thirty (30) days before the Purchase Date, the Participant will be deemed to have withdrawn from this Plan and the payroll deductions in the Participant’s notional account (that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock) shall be returned to the Participant, or in the case of the Participant’s death, to the person(s) entitled to such amounts under Section 17, and the Participant’s option shall be automatically terminated. If the Participant’s termination of employment or change in status occurs within thirty (30) days before a Purchase Date, the accumulated payroll deductions shall be used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date.
12.
Interest. No interest shall accrue on or be payable with respect to the payroll deductions of a Participant in this Plan.
13.
Shares Reserved for Plan.
(a)
Number of Shares. A total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved as authorized for the grant of options under this Plan. The shares of Common Stock may be newly issued shares, treasury shares or shares acquired on the open market.
(b)
Over-subscribed Offerings. The number of shares of Common Stock which a Participant may purchase in an Offering under this Plan may be reduced if the Offering is over-subscribed. No option granted under this Plan shall permit a Participant to purchase shares of Common Stock which, if added together with the total number of shares of Common Stock purchased by all other Participants in such Offering would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock remaining available under this Plan. If the Committee determines that, on a particular Purchase Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock then available under this Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as practicable and as the Committee determines to be equitable.
14.
Transferability. No payroll deductions credited to a Participant, nor any rights with respect to the exercise of an option or any rights to receive Common Stock hereunder may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 17 hereof) by the Participant. Any attempt to assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of such rights or amounts shall be without effect.
15.
Application of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under this Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose to the extent permitted by applicable law, and the Company shall not be required to segregate such payroll deductions or contributions.
16.
Statements. Participants will be provided with statements at least annually which shall set forth the contributions made by the Participant to this Plan, the Purchase Price of any shares of Common Stock purchased with accumulated funds, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased, and any payroll deduction amounts remaining in the Participant’s notional account.
17.
Designation of Beneficiary. A Participant may file, on forms supplied by the Committee, a written designation of beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and cash in respect of any fractional shares of Common Stock, if any, from

Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Dissolution or Liquidation; Corporate Transactions.
(a)
Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other change in the Company’s structure affecting the Common Stock occurs, then in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan, the Committee will, in such manner as it deems equitable, adjust the number of shares and class of Common Stock that may be delivered under this Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option under this Plan, and the numerical limits of Section 7 and Section 13.
(b)
Dissolution or Liquidation. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new Purchase Date and the Offering Period will end immediately prior to the proposed dissolution or liquidation. The new Purchase Date will be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. Before the new Purchase Date, the Committee will provide each Participant with written notice, which may be electronic, of the new Purchase Date and that the Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on such date, unless before such time, the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering in accordance with Section 10.
(c)
Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or Subsidiary of such successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute the option, the Offering Period with respect to which the option relates will be shortened by setting a new Purchase Date on which the Offering Period will end. The new Purchase Date will occur before the date of the Corporate Transaction. Prior to the new Purchase Date, the Committee will provide each Participant with written notice, which may be electronic, of the new Purchase Date and that the Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on such date, unless before such time, the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering in accordance with Section 10.
