(1)On December 11, 2023, UpHealth, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from the staff of NYSE Regulation that it had commenced proceedings to delist the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and suspended trading in the Common Stock pending the completion of such proceedings. As a result, effective December 12, 2023, the Common Stock is trading in the over-the-counter market under the symbol “UPHL”. The Company timely filed an appeal of this determination with the NYSE and requested a hearing before the NYSE Regulatory Oversight Committee’s Committee for Review. On January 12, 2024, the NYSE granted the Company’s request for a hearing, which was originally scheduled to occur on April 17, 2024 and was later rescheduled to July 18, 2024. On June 7, 2024, the Company notified the NYSE of its determination to withdraw from the appeal process and, as a result, the hearing before the CFR was cancelled and the NYSE on June 10, 2024 filed a Form 25 with the SEC to effect the delisting of the Common Stock from the NYSE. The delisting of the Common Stock from the NYSE and the trading of the Common Stock on the over-the-counter market will not affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting requirements under the rules of the SEC.

On July 11, 2024, the Board accepted Mr. Beck’s resignation, which shall be effective as of July 10, 2024.
