This year’s Annual Meeting will be conducted virtually via live audio webcast. In order to attend the Annual Meeting online and submit written questions during the meeting you must register in advance by visiting https://www.cesonlineservices.com/cano23_vm. Questions and comments submitted via the virtual meeting platform that are pertinent to Annual Meeting matters will be addressed during the meeting, as time permits. Questions and comments that are not pertinent to Annual Meeting matters or that are not addressed during the meeting due to time constraints may be addressed after the meeting by our Investor Relations department, reachable at 786-206-1930 or by email at investors@canohealth.com. Questions or comments that are not related to the proposals under discussion, are about personal concerns not shared by stockholders generally, or use blatantly offensive language may be ruled out of order. You will need the 12-digit control number, which is located on your WHITE proxy card, to attend the virtual Annual Meeting.

On or about May [●], 2023, we will mail to our stockholders paper copies of a notice of the Annual Meeting, our proxy statement, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as amended (the “2022 Form 10-K”) and WHITE proxy card.

YOUR VOTE WILL BE ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. As you may be aware, Elliot Cooperstone, Lewis Gold, and Barry S. Sternlicht and their affiliated entities (collectively, the “Former Directors Group”), are urging stockholders to withhold their vote with respect to the

election of Dr. Alan Muney and Ms. Kim M. Rivera as Class II directors at the Annual Meeting. You may have received, or may receive, materials from the Former Directors Group or other persons or entities affiliated with the Former Directors Group, including an opposition proxy statement and proxy card. Please be advised that we are not responsible for the accuracy of any information provided by or relating to the Former Directors Group contained in any materials filed or disseminated by the Former Directors Group or any other statement that they may otherwise make.

Our Board strongly urges you NOT to sign or return any proxy card or voting instruction form that the Former Directors Group may send to you as only your latest dated proxy card will be counted and thus returning a proxy card sent to you by the Former Directors Group will revoke any proxy card that you may have returned previously voting for the nominees recommended by our Board. Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the two Class II director nominees proposed by our Board using the WHITE proxy card accompanying this proxy statement.

The Board has fixed the close of business on May 8, 2023 as the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Record Date”). Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be open for examination by any stockholders, for any purpose relevant to the Annual Meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting at the Company’s principal executive offices at 9725 NW 117th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33178.

Q: How can I attend the virtual Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting is being held as a virtual only meeting this year. To attend the Annual Meeting, you must register in advance by going to https://www.cesonlineservices.com/cano23_vm prior to the deadline of June [●], 2023 at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time). Please have your control number included on your WHITE proxy card or voting instruction card (if your shares are held through a broker or another nominee) available and follow the instructions to complete your registration request. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with a link and instructions for accessing the Annual Meeting. Requests to register to participate in the Annual Meeting must be received no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on June [●], 2023.

Q: How can I submit a question during the Annual Meeting?

If you want to submit a question or make a comment during the Annual Meeting, you must register in advance by going to https://www.cesonlineservices.com/cano23_vm prior to the deadline of June [●], 2023 at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time), then log in to the virtual meeting platform at https://www.cesonlineservices.com/cano23_vm, type your question into the “Ask a Question” field, and click “Send”. Questions and comments submitted via the virtual meeting platform that are pertinent to Annual Meeting matters will be addressed during the Annual Meeting, as time permits. Questions and comments that are not pertinent to Annual Meeting matters or that are not addressed during the meeting due to time constraints may be addressed after the Annual Meeting by our Investor Relations department, reachable by telephone at 786-206-1930 or by email at investors@canohealth.com. Questions or comments that are not related to the proposals under discussion, are about personal concerns not shared by stockholders generally, or use blatantly offensive language may be ruled out of order.

Q: Why is the Annual Meeting virtual only?

A virtual Annual Meeting enables stockholders to attend and participate from any location around the world and provides for cost efficiencies that are beneficial to the Company and our stockholders.

Q: What constitutes a quorum?

The holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote on any matter shall constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such holder. On the May 8, 2023 Record Date, the Company had 278,925,591 shares of Class A common stock and 257,145,729 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote with respect to all matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. Therefore, a quorum will be present at the Annual Meeting if at least 268,035,661 shares of our common stock are present in person or represented by executed proxies timely received by us at the Annual Meeting. Shares present virtually during the Annual Meeting will be considered shares of common stock represented in person at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement.

Q: How do I cast my vote?

Beneficial Stockholders. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, you are a beneficial stockholder. In order to vote your shares, please refer to the materials forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee for instructions on how to vote the shares you hold as a beneficial stockholder. If you hold your position in our common stock through a bank, broker or other nominee and would like to join the Annual Meeting and vote or ask a question, you will need to contact your broker, bank or other nominee to obtain a legal proxy form that you must submit when voting online during the Annual Meeting.

Registered Stockholders. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote at the virtual Annual Meeting, vote by proxy over the telephone, vote by proxy through the Internet or vote by proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the virtual Annual Meeting and vote even if you have already voted by proxy.

We encourage you to join at least 15 minutes prior to the commencement of the Annual Meeting.

Proxies submitted via the Internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June [●], 2023.

Q: How may I change or revoke my proxy?

Beneficial Stockholders. Beneficial stockholders should contact their broker, bank or other nominee for instructions on how to change or revoke their proxy vote.

Registered Stockholders. Registered stockholders may change or revoke a properly executed proxy at any time before its exercise by:

delivering written notice of revocation to the Secretary at our principal executive offices at 9725 NW 117th Avenue, Miami, FL 33178;

submitting another proxy that is dated later than the original proxy (including a proxy via telephone or the Internet); or

voting via the Internet at the Annual Meeting.

Q: What is a broker non-vote?

Broker non-votes occur when shares are held indirectly through a broker on behalf of a beneficial owner (referred to as held in “street name”) and the broker submits a proxy but does not vote for a matter because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and the broker does not have discretionary voting authority on the matter or the broker chooses not to vote on a matter for which it has discretionary voting authority. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that govern how brokers may vote shares for which they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner, brokers are permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority only on “routine” matters when voting instructions have not been timely received from a beneficial owner. Proposals 3 and 4 are considered “routine matters.” Therefore, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker regarding such proposal, your broker will be permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority to vote your shares on such proposal. In the absence of specific instructions from you, your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to Proposals 1 and 2.

Q: What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals, and how are the votes counted?

Proposal 1–Election of Class II Directors. Under our By-laws, a plurality of the votes cast by the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required to elect each of the Class II director nominees named herein. This means that the 2 nominees for director to receive the highest number of votes “FOR” election will be elected as directors, even if those votes do not constitute a majority of the votes cast. You may vote “FOR” all the director nominees, “FOR” any one of the nominees, “WITHHOLD” your vote from all the director nominees or “WITHHOLD” your vote with respect to any one or more of the director nominees. Withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal 2–Non-binding, Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve this proposal. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

Proposal 3–Approval of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon is required to approve this proposal. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. Brokers have discretionary voting authority with respect to the proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split. Abstentions will have the effect of votes cast against the proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split. Our Certificate of Incorporation has opted out of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and therefore no separate class vote is required for this Proposal 3.

Proposal 4–Approval of the Ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve this proposal. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will not be counted as “votes cast” with respect to such matter, and the abstention will have no effect on the proposal. This proposal is considered to be a routine item, and your broker will be able to vote on this proposal even if it does not receive instructions from you. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that there will be any broker non-votes on this proposal; however, any broker non-votes will not be counted as “votes cast” and will therefore have no effect on the proposal.

Q: When will the results of the vote be announced?

The final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within 4 business days of the Annual Meeting.

Q: What is the deadline for submitting a stockholder proposal or director nomination for the 2024 annual meeting?

Stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, to be held in 2024 (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices at 9725 NW 117th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33178 no later than the close of business on [●], 2024. We also encourage you to submit any such proposals via email to david.armstrong@canohealth.com. Stockholders wishing to make a director nomination or bring a proposal before the 2024 Annual Meeting must provide written notice of such nomination or proposal to the Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices no later than the close of business on [●], 2024 and not earlier than the close of business on [●], 2024, assuming the Company does not change the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting by more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary of the 2023 Annual Meeting. If the 2024 Annual Meeting is held more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary of the 2023 Annual Meeting, such notice must be provided no later than the close of business on the later of the 90^th day prior to the scheduled date of the 2024 Annual Meeting or the 10^th day following the Company’s public announcement of the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting and not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to the scheduled date of the 2024 Annual Meeting. Any stockholder proposal or director nomination must comply with the provisions of the Company’s By-laws and be submitted in writing to the Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices and by email at david.armstrong@canohealth.com. Additionally, under Rule 14a-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act, if a stockholder fails to notify the Company of a proposal at least 45 days prior to the month and day of mailing of the prior year’s proxy statement, then the Company will be allowed to use its discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the 2024 Annual Meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement. To comply with the SEC’s recently adopted universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees for the 2024 Annual Meeting must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act no later than [●], 2024.

Q: What if I hold my shares in street name?

If you hold your shares in street name and you do not submit voting instructions to your broker, your broker may exercise its discretion to vote your shares on Proposals 3 and 4. If your broker exercises this discretion, your shares will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at our Annual Meeting and will be voted in the manner directed by your broker on the proposal to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, but your shares will constitute broker non-votes on each of the other proposals at our Annual Meeting. On all other proposals, your broker is not permitted to vote your shares without your instructions and uninstructed shares are considered broker non-votes. Accordingly, a broker non-vote will not be counted in determining the outcome of the vote on Proposals 1 and 2. If your shares are held by a broker, the broker will ask you how you want to vote your shares. Therefore, it is important that you give instructions to your broker as to how to vote your shares.

Q: If I plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, should I still vote by proxy?

Yes. Voting in advance does not affect your right to attend the virtual Annual Meeting. If you submit the enclosed WHITE proxy card and also attend the virtual Annual Meeting, you do not need to vote again at the Annual Meeting unless you want to change your vote. If you hold your shares in street name, you may vote your shares in person only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. You may also vote online by following the instructions provided on the WHITE proxy card. Even if you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions prior to the Annual Meeting as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the virtual Annual Meeting.

Q: What is householding?

If you and other residents at your mailing address own shares of our common stock in street name, your broker, bank or other nominee may have sent you a notice that your household will receive only one set of proxy materials. This procedure is known as “householding” and is intended to reduce the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and also reduce our printing and postage costs. If you consented or were deemed to have consented to householding, your broker, bank or other nominee may send one set of proxy materials to your address for all residents that own shares of our common stock in street name. If you wish to revoke your consent to householding, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee. If you are receiving multiple copies of proxy materials, you may be able to request householding by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee.

If you wish to request extra or separate copies free of charge of the notice of the Annual Meeting, our 2022 Form 10-K, proxy statement and WHITE proxy card, please send your request in writing to 9725 NW 117th Avenue, Miami, FL 33178, Attention: Investor Relations or by telephone at 786-206-1930 or by email at investors@canohealth.com. The Company will undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request an extra or separate copy of the notice of the Annual Meeting, our 2022 Form 10-K, proxy statement, and WHITE proxy card.

Q: Who is soliciting the proxies and who pays the costs?

Your proxy is being solicited by the Board. We have retained Mackenzie Partners, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of approximately $300,000, plus reimbursement of certain expenses, and have agreed to customary indemnification provisions. We also will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to our stockholders, but we will not pay any compensation for their services. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by telephone or through other means by our directors, officers and other employees who will receive no additional compensation therefor.

Who will count the vote?

Corporate Election Services, Inc., an independent third party, will serve as the master tabulator and a representative of Corporate Election Services, Inc. will act as the inspector of the elections at the Annual Meeting.

Q: What should I do if I receive a proxy card from the Former Directors Group?

Elliot Cooperstone, Lewis Gold, and Barry S. Sternlicht and their affiliated entities (collectively, the “Former Directors Group”), are urging stockholders to withhold their vote with respect to the election of Dr. Alan Muney and Ms. Kim M. Rivera as Class II directors at the Annual Meeting. You may have received, or may receive, materials from the Former Directors Group or other persons or entities affiliated with the Former Directors Group, including an opposition proxy statement and proxy card. Please be advised that we are not responsible for the accuracy of any information provided by or relating to the Former Directors Group contained in any materials filed or disseminated by the Former Directors Group or any other statement that they may otherwise make.

Our Board does not endorse the Former Directors Group solicitation, and strongly urges you NOT to sign or return any proxy card or voting instruction form that you may receive from the Former Directors Group or any person other than the Company. If you do sign a proxy card or voting instruction form sent to you by the Former Directors Group, however, you have the right to change your vote by using the enclosed WHITE proxy card or voting instruction form. Only the latest dated, signed proxy card or voting instruction form you vote will be counted.

Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the two Class II director nominees proposed by our Board using the WHITE proxy card accompanying this proxy statement.

Dr. Alan Muney	II	69	Director	2021	2023
Kim M. Rivera	II	54	Director	2021	2023

We believe that in order for our Board to effectively guide us to long-term sustainable, dependable performance, it should be comprised of individuals with sophistication and experience in the many disciplines that impact our business. In order to best serve our stockholders, we seek to have a Board, as a whole, that is competent in key corporate disciplines, including accounting and financial acumen, business judgment, crisis management, governance, leadership, people management, risk management, social responsibility and reputational issues, strategy and strategic planning. Additionally, we desire that the Board include members that have specific knowledge related to our industry.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “NCGC”) believes that all directors must, at a minimum, meet the criteria set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, which specify, among other things, that the NCGC will consider criteria such as independence, skills, and experience in the context of the needs of the Board. In addressing issues of diversity in particular, the NCGC considers a nominee’s diversity of background and experience, inclusive of gender, race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation. The NCGC believes that diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints is a key attribute for a director nominee. The NCGC requires the following minimum qualifications to be satisfied by any nominee for a position on the Board: (a) high standards of personal and professional ethics and integrity; (b) proven achievement and competence in the nominee’s field and the ability to exercise sound business judgment; (c) skills that are complementary to those of the existing directors on the Board; (d) the ability to assist and support management and make significant contributions to the Company’s success; and (e) an understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities that are required of a Board member and the commitment of time and energy necessary to diligently carry out those responsibilities.

The NCGC has determined that all of our directors meet the criteria and qualifications for our Board set forth in the NCGC’s charter and the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the criteria set forth above for director nominees. Moreover, each director possesses the following critical personal qualities and attributes that we believe are essential for the proper functioning of the Board to allow it to fulfill its duties to our stockholders: accountability, ethical leadership, governance experience, integrity, risk management experience, and sound business judgment. In addition, our directors have the confidence to assess and challenge the way things are done and recommend alternative solutions, a keen awareness of our business and social realities of the environment in which we operate, the independence and high-performance standards necessary to fulfill the Board’s oversight function, and the humility, professional maturity, and style to interface openly and constructively with other directors. Finally, the director biographies below include a non-exhaustive list of other key experiences and qualifications that further qualify each individual to serve on the Board. These collective qualities, skills, experiences and attributes are essential to our Board’s ability to exercise its oversight function for the Company and its stockholders, and guide the Company’s long-term sustainable, dependable performance.

Subject to any earlier resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, upon re-election, our Class II directors will serve until our 2026 annual

meeting of stockholders, and currently our Class III directors will serve until our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and our Class I directors will serve until our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors may be removed only with cause upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon.

When filling a vacancy on the Board, the NCGC identifies the desired skills and experience of a new director and nominates individuals who it believes can strengthen the Board’s capabilities and further diversify the collective experience represented by the then-current directors. The NCGC may engage third parties to assist in the search and provide recommendations. Also, directors are generally asked to recommend candidates for the position. The candidates are then evaluated based on the process outlined in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NCGC’s charter, and the same process is used for all candidates, including candidates recommended by stockholders.

Stockholder Nominations for the Board of Directors

The NCGC will consider stockholder nominations for membership on the Board. For the 2024 Annual Meeting, nominations may be submitted to Cano Health, Inc., 9725 NW 117th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33178, Attn: Secretary and by email at david.armstrong@canohealth.com, and such nominations will then be forwarded to the NCGC’s Chairperson. Nominations must be in writing and comply with the advance notice provisions and other requirements specified in our By-laws and summarized above under “BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE,” and we must receive such nominations not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the date of the anniversary of the 2023 Annual Meeting (i.e., no earlier than [●], 2024 and no later than [●], 2024). Nominations not received within this time frame will be considered untimely.

To comply with the SEC’s recently adopted universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees for the 2024 Annual Meeting must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act no later than [●], 2024.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

We are committed to operating our business under strong and accountable corporate governance practices. The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address significant issues of corporate governance and set forth procedures by which the Board carries out its responsibilities. Among the areas addressed by the Corporate Governance Guidelines are director qualification standards, director responsibilities, Board structure, director access to management, director compensation, director orientation, succession planning, executive sessions, and periodic performance evaluation of the Board and committees. In the spring of 2022, the NCGC oversaw a self-evaluation process by the members of the Board of Directors, which concluded that the Board was functioning effectively and in 2023 would strive to supplement its meeting calendar to add dedicated sessions focused exclusively on the Company’s future growth strategy. Our NCGC is responsible for, among other things, assessing and periodically reviewing the adequacy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines and will recommend, as appropriate, proposed changes to the Board. As has been publicly reported, three former directors of the Board recently resigned and have made statements regarding the Company’s corporate governance practices and policies, which we believe are inaccurate and misleading and appear to be aimed at serving their own short-term interests at the expense of long-term value creation for all stockholders. As always, our Board is committed to acting in the best interests of our stockholders and continues to review our corporate governance policies and procedures with those interests in mind.

You are encouraged to visit the “Investors–Governance” section of our website at www.canohealth.com to view or obtain copies of our committee charters, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines. The information found on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into, and does not form a part of, this proxy statement or any other report or document we file with or furnish to the SEC.

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Following the NCGC’s recommendation, our Board recommends that the nominees below, each a current Class II director, be elected at the Annual Meeting for new terms extending until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.


Name	Class	Director Since	Current Term Expires	Expiration of Term For Which Nominated


Dr. Alan Muney	II	2021	2023	2026

Kim M. Rivera	II	2021	2023	2026

If, before the Annual Meeting, any nominee becomes unable to serve, or chooses not to serve, the Board may nominate a substitute. If that happens, the persons named as proxies on the WHITE proxy card will vote for the substitute. Alternatively, the Board may either let the vacancy stay unfilled until an appropriate candidate is identified or reduce the size of the Board to eliminate the unfilled seat.

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the director nominees.

Sternlicht, Elliot Cooperstone and Dr. Lewis Gold, filed a lawsuit against the Company’s Board of Directors in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Sternlicht et al. v. Hernandez et al., C.A. No. 2023-0477-PAF. The lawsuit claims a breach of fiduciary duties by the Board and seeks to re-open the Company’s advance-notice nomination window for stockholder notice of director candidate nominations and business proposals for the Company’s 2023 annual stockholders’ meeting. The Board intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.

Independence of the Board

The NYSE has adopted independence standards for companies listed on the NYSE, which apply to Cano Health. These standards require a majority of the Board to be independent and every member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and NCGC to be independent. NYSE standards provide that a director is considered independent only if the Board “affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).” In addition, the NYSE prescribes certain other “independence” standards.

To determine which of its members is independent, the Board uses the standards prescribed by the NYSE and also considers other relevant facts and circumstances, including whether a director had any other past or present relationships with Cano Health that created conflicts or the appearance of conflicts. Based on its most recent review, the Board has affirmatively determined that Dr. Muney, Messrs. Trujillo and Morales and Mmes. Guichelaar and Rivera each qualify as independent directors.

Board Committees and Meetings

Our Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a NCGC. The composition, duties and responsibilities of these committees are as set forth below. In the future, our Board may establish other committees, as it deems appropriate, to assist it with its responsibilities.

The Board has adopted a written charter for the NCGC, which is available on our corporate website at www.canohealth.com. The information found on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into, and does not form a part of, this proxy statement or any other report or document we file with or furnish to the SEC.

The NCGC will consider candidates properly recommended by stockholders holding at least 3% of the Company’s common stock continuously for at least 24 months prior to the date of the submission of the recommendation in the same manner as candidates recommended to the NCGC from other sources. In evaluating director candidates, the NCGC will consider the current size and needs of the Board and the respective committees of the Board, as well as such factors as character, integrity, judgment, diversity, independence, skills, education, expertise, business acumen, business experience, length of service, understanding of the Company’s business and industry, other commitments, diversity of background and experience, inclusive of gender, race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation, and other factors that the NCGC may consider appropriate. The NCGC requires the following minimum qualifications to be satisfied by any nominee for a position on the Board: high standards of personal and professional ethics and integrity; proven achievement and competence in the nominee’s field and the ability to exercise sound business judgment; skills that are complementary to those of the existing Board; the ability to assist and support management and make significant contributions to the Company’s success; an understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities that is required of a Board member and the commitment of time and energy necessary to diligently carry out those responsibilities.

Our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and NCGC held 8, 4 and 3 meetings, respectively, during 2022. In 2022, Jacqueline Guichelaar attended less than 75% of total number of meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which she served. All directors attended our 2022 Annual Meeting of

Stockholders. Each member of the Board is expected to make reasonable efforts to attend regularly scheduled meetings of the Board and to participate in telephone conference meetings or other special Board meetings. Attendance and participation at meetings is an important component of the directors’ duties and, as such, attendance rates will be taken into account by the NCGC and the Board in connection with assessments of director candidates for renomination as directors.

Board Leadership Structure

The following section describes our Board leadership structure, the reasons why the structure is in place at this time, the roles of various positions, and related key governance practices. We believe our Board and Board committee composition benefits the Company and its stockholders.

Independence; Board Mix

Our Board has an effective mix of independent and non-independent directors. Our Board includes 5 independent directors and one non-independent director.

Separation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Roles

In April 2023, we separated the role of our Chairman of the Board and our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to have an independent, non-executive Chairman serve as the Company’s Board Chairman at this time and appointed Solomon Trujillo, our then-Lead Independent Director, to be our non-executive Chairman of the Board. This leadership structure aids the Board’s oversight of management and allows Dr. Hernandez to focus his attention on his role as our CEO, while remaining a director. The non-executive Chairman has the responsibility of presiding over all meetings of the Board, consulting with the CEO on Board meeting agendas, acting as a liaison between management and the non-management directors, including maintaining frequent contact with the CEO and advising them on the efficiency of Board meetings, facilitating teamwork and communication between the non-management directors and management, as well as additional responsibilities.

Risk Oversight

Our Audit Committee oversees our risk management program, which is designed to identify, evaluate, and respond to our high priority risks and opportunities, with management reporting on areas of material risk based on its annual risk assessment exercise. Our management, including our executive officers, is primarily responsible for managing the risks associated with the operation and business of our Company, including financial, legal, regulatory, strategic, and cybersecurity and other information security risks. As part of the annual risk assessment exercise, our management conducts executive management interviews, participates in key committee meetings (including meetings of the Disclosure Committee, Compliance Committee and, during our recent ERP implementation, the Oracle Committee), quantitatively scopes financial accounts and IT system sources and considers industry reports and legal and/or regulatory changes to understand short-term, medium-term and long-term priorities, objectives and strategies, taking into account the level of maturity and degree of integration of governance and risk management programs. Management provides regular updates to the Audit Committee on our risk management program and reports on identified high-priority risks and opportunities during regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings, unless there are matters that merit more immediate action. In turn, the chairman of the Audit Committee is responsible for regularly reporting to the Board.

We recognize that Cybersecurity risk is a critical enterprise concern. To mitigate cybersecurity risk, we have obtained cybersecurity insurance coverage and established Cybersecurity and IT Governance Program to stay at the forefront of security and threat management. Our program monitors and assesses our IT environment to provide continuous improvement and automate incident response. We have instituted best practice for preventive safeguards, governance, monitoring, detection, response and third-party validation. Data, updates and results from our program are provided to the Audit Committee at regularly scheduled meetings, unless there are matters that merit more immediate action. In turn, the chairman of the Audit Committee is responsible for regularly reporting to the Board.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has established a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to all our officers, directors and employees. Among other matters, our Code is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

•

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

•

full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in our SEC reports and other public communications;

•

compliance with laws, rules and regulations;

•

prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to appropriate persons identified in the Code; and

•

accountability for adherence to the Code.

Any waiver of the Code for our directors or officers may be made only by our Board and will be promptly disclosed as required by law or NYSE regulations. We intend to disclose on our website any amendment to, or waiver of, any provisions of our Code applicable to our directors and executive officers that would otherwise be required to be disclosed under the rules of the SEC or the NYSE.

Our Code is available on our corporate website at https://investors.canohealth.com/governance/governance-documents/. The information found on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into, and does not form a part of, this proxy statement or any other report or document we file with or furnish to the SEC.

Meetings of Independent Directors

In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the non-management directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management participation, and the independent directors have the opportunity to meet in executive session without members of management as often as they deem appropriate, but at a minimum do so annually.

Communications by Stockholders and Other Interested Parties with the Board

Stockholders and other interested parties may contact an individual director, the Board as a group, or a specified Board committee or group, including the independent directors as a group, by sending regular mail to:

Cano Health, Inc.

9725 NW 117th Avenue

Miami, Florida 33178

Attn: Board of Directors

Key 2022 Compensation Actions

The primary elements of our total direct compensation program for the NEOs, and a summary of the actions taken by the Compensation

Committee with respect to 2022, are set forth below.


Compensation Component	Link to Business and Talent Strategies	2022 Compensation Actions
Annual Base Salary	• Competitive base salaries help attract, motivate, and retain executive talent.	• There were no increases to base salaries.
Cash Bonus under Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”)	• Focus executives on achieving annual financial and strategic non-financial results that are key indicators of annual financial and operational performance.	• Annual incentive plan goal setting was rigorous, and achievement was attained below the combined target level. • The Compensation Committee exercised negative discretion and determined not to pay any cash bonuses to the NEOs for 2022.
Equity Awards under Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”)	• Equity awards consisted of Performance Adjusted Restricted Stock Units (“PARSUs”) and stock options • PARSU are awarded based on the achievement of pre-established key financial goals and a relative TSR modifier. • Stock options provide focus on stock price appreciation, and direct alignment with our stockholders.	• PARSU goal-setting was rigorous and PARSUs were earned below the combined target level, earned PARSUs are subject to a further 2-year vesting period. • Stock options are subject to a 4-year vesting period.

Overview of Executive Compensation Program

Executive Compensation Objectives

Cano Health requires top talent with a wide range of skills, experience, and leadership qualities to guide the Company in support of its mission and create long-term value for our stockholders. The Compensation Committee’s goal is to implement an executive compensation program that is built upon the following 3 core objectives:

•

Attracting, Motivating and Retaining the Right Talent. Executive compensation should be market-competitive in order to attract and retain highly motivated talent with a performance-driven mindset.

•

Pay-for-Performance. A material portion of an executive’s target compensation should be at-risk and directly aligned with Company performance.

•

Alignment with Stockholder Interests. Our executives’ interests should be aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders.

2022 Executive Compensation Program Design

Cano Health’s executive compensation program is designed to balance our goal of attracting, motivating, and retaining high-performing senior executives with our goal of aligning their interests with those of our

stockholders. The target total direct compensation (“TDC”) of our NEOs in 2022 consisted of the following elements: base salary, a target cash bonus opportunity under our AIP, and a target equity incentive opportunity under our LTIP (all as more fully described in this CD&A).

Our executive compensation philosophy is focused on pay-for-performance. In this regard, we link a significant portion of each NEO’s target TDC to the achievement of specified performance goals or appreciation in the market price of our common stock. As illustrated by the charts below, the majority of 2022 target pay that could have been earned by our NEOs was variable, at-risk pay.

*	Excludes Mr. Camerlinck who was promoted to COO on August 1, 2022 and became an executive officer of the Company at that time; Mr. Camerlinck did not have a pre-established target or guaranteed bonus for 2022.

The Compensation Committee will annually evaluate our executive compensation program to ensure that it is consistent with our short-term and long-term goals and the dynamic nature of our business.

Compensation Governance

The following features of our ongoing executive compensation program are designed to align with stockholder interests and compensation governance best practices:

What We Do

What We Don’t Do

✓ Pay for performance by providing a significant percentage of target annual compensation in the form of variable, at-risk compensation

✓ Pre-established performance goals that are aligned with creation of stockholder value

✓ Market comparison of executive compensation against a relevant peer group of companies

✓ Maintain stock ownership guidelines to encourage equity ownership by our executive officers and non-employee directors

✓ Use of an independent compensation consultant reporting to the Compensation Committee and providing no other services to the Company

✓ Annual say-on-pay vote

× No automatic or guaranteed annual salary increases or annual cash incentive payments

× No automatic “single-trigger” acceleration of equity awards upon a change of control

× No option repricing, backdating, or spring-loading

× No excessive perquisites to our NEOs

× No supplemental executive retirement plans

× No hedging of Company securities

× No excise tax gross-ups

As we mature as a public company, we will continually evaluate our compensation governance and strive to reflect market best practices. We are committed to sound compensation governance, which we believe

Use of Peer Group and General Market Data

Based on the advice and analysis of its independent compensation consultant, FW Cook, the Compensation Committee approved the following peer group of 16 companies for 2022:


1Life Healthcare (ONEM)	Encompass Health (EHC)	RadNet (RDNT)
Acadia Healthcare (ACHC)	LHC Group (LHCG)	Surgery Partners (SGRY)
Addus HomeCare (ADUS)	MEDNAX (MD)	Teladoc Health (TDOC)
Amedisys (AMED)	National HealthCare (NHC)	The Ensign Group (ENSG)
Apollo Medical Holdings (AMEH)	Oak Street Health (OSH)	U.S. Physical Therapy (USPH)
CorVel (CRVL)

The peer companies primarily consist of companies operating healthcare facilities and providing patient services. Based on data compiled by FW Cook at the time of the peer group development (reflecting publicly available data as of December 31, 2021), our revenue based on the available trailing 4 quarters and market capitalization were at the 49th and 53rd percentiles, respectively, in relation to the peer group.

Due to the nature of our business, we also compete for executive talent with companies outside our peer group, including public companies that are larger and more established than we are or that possess greater resources than we do, and with smaller private companies that may be able to offer greater compensation potential. In setting compensation, the Compensation Committee considers each NEO’s level and job performance, their duties and responsibilities at the Company compared to the duties and responsibilities of executive officers in similar positions at the peer group companies, as well as general industry survey data and other circumstances unique to the Company.

The Compensation Committee then evaluates whether the compensation elements and levels provided to our NEOs were generally appropriate relative to their responsibilities at the Company compared to compensation elements and levels provided to their counterparts in the peer group or within the market. The Compensation Committee considers both objective and subjective criteria to evaluate Company and individual performance, which allows it to exercise informed judgment and not rely solely on rigid benchmarks. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee does not formulaically tie compensation decisions to any particular range or percentile level of total compensation paid to executives at the peer group companies or general industry survey data.

Our Compensation Committee will review our compensation peer group periodically and will make adjustments to its composition if warranted, taking into account changes in both our business and the businesses of the companies in the peer group.

Consideration of 2022 Say-On-Pay Advisory Vote

The Compensation Committee considered the results of our first stockholder “say-on-pay” advisory vote. Stockholders showed strong support for our executive compensation program, with 96.8% of the votes cast in favor of the Company’s say-on-pay vote at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In light of the strong support reflected by the results of the 2022 “say-on-pay” proposal, the Compensation Committee maintained our general philosophy on executive compensation for 2022. The Compensation Committee will continue to review the design of the executive compensation program in light of future say-on-pay votes, developments in executive compensation market trends and practices, and the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy to ensure that the executive compensation program continues to serve the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Named Executive Officer Compensation

Annual Base Salary

Annual base salaries are a fixed amount paid to each executive for performing their normal duties and responsibilities of employment. We determine the amount based on the executive’s overall performance,

Annual incentive payments can range from 0% to 200% of the target award opportunity, based on performance relative to goals, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee established the following goals and payout levels under the 2022 AIP:



Metric	Weighting	Rationale for Metric	Payout Range

Revenue	42.5%	Key top-line financial metric of our performance	0-200%

Adjusted EBITDA*	42.5%	Key measure to assess the financial performance of our business in order to make decisions on allocation of resources	0-200%

Strategic Objectives	15.0%	Key measure of supporting the Company’s long-term strategy	0-200%

Individual Modifier	—	Key measure to recognize each NEO’s individual contribution and personal impact on the Company’s strategic priorities	+/-20%

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to add back the effect of certain expenses, such as stock-based compensation expense, non-cash goodwill impairment loss, transaction costs (consisting of transaction costs and corporate development payroll costs), restructuring and other charges, fair value adjustments in contingent consideration, loss on extinguishment of debt and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. For the periods through December 31, 2022, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company also excluded the impact of de novo losses consisting of costs associated with the ramp up of new medical centers and losses incurred for the 12 months after the opening of a new facility.

The 2022 AIP performance levels were intended to be rigorous, such that achieving threshold levels would represent minimum acceptable performance and achieving maximum levels would represent outstanding performance. The threshold, target and maximum performance and payout opportunities under the 2022 AIP (subject to interpolation between points), along with the actual performance achieved and related weighted score, are set forth below:



	Threshold ($ million)			Target ($ million)			Maximum ($ million)			Actual Performance ($ million)		Actual Performance (% of Target Achieved)			Payout %

Payout %		50	%		100	%		200	%

Revenue	$	2,580		$	2,867		$	3,154		$	2,740		95.6	%		77.8	%

Adjusted EBITDA*	$	212		$	235		$	259		$	152.5		64.9	%		0.0	%

Weighted Average Financial Performance Score: 33.1%

The NEOs were also subject to a scorecard of strategic objectives with an allocated weighting of 15% relating to the Company’s performance with respect to: Net Promoter Score, Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (“HEDIS”) (Stars) and Total Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) (collectively, the “Strategic Objectives”). The Compensation Committee determined that the Strategic Objectives were achieved at target performance.

The formulaic outcome based on the financial metrics and the Strategic Objectives was 48.1%, based on the 33.1% financial metric and the 15% strategic metric. However, after holistically considering the

Company’s overall performance during 2022, as well as the Company’s initiative to conserve cash, the Compensation Committee exercised its negative discretion and determined not to pay any cash bonuses for 2022.

2022 Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”)

Long-term equity incentive awards under our LTIP are designed to enable us to align our NEOs’ interests with those of our stockholders by giving them a meaningful ownership interest in our Company. We believe that equity awards provide our NEOs with a direct interest in our long-term performance and create an ownership mindset.

For 2022, our NEOs were eligible to receive annual equity incentive awards in the form of time-based stock options and performance-adjusted restricted stock units (“PARSUs”). All stock option and PARSU awards are approved by the Compensation Committee or our Board. The target value of each executive’s annual equity award opportunity was intended to be market competitive and reflective of such executive’s skill set, experience, role, and responsibilities.


	Target Value of 2022 LTIP

Dr. Marlow Hernandez	$	2,700,000

Brian D. Koppy	$	962,000

Robert Camerlinck	$	1,000,000

Dr. Richard Aguilar	$	724,000

David Armstrong	$	543,000

The table below summarizes the key features of our NEOs’ 2022 equity awards:


Equity Award	Target LTIP Weight	Key Features
Performance Adjusted RSU (PARSU)	80%	• PARSUs link granted equity compensation value to the achievement of critical financial objectives and align executives’ interests with those of our stockholders. • Grant of PARSUs was conditioned on the achievement of pre-established 2022 financial goals and a relative stockholder return (TSR) modifier. • Financial goals consisted of revenue (key top-line metric) and Adjusted EBITDA (key bottom-line metric). Please see earlier discussion for a description of certain adjustments to the metrics. • The achievement of the financial metrics was modified by the Company’s TSR performance to further align the earned PARSU value with our 2022 stock price performance relative to the following set of core peers:

			1Life Health Care Agilon Health CareMax	Oak Street Health P3 Health Partners Privia Health Group

		Based on Cano’s stock price performance, the relative TSR adjustment would be as follows:

Step 3: Calculate Final Earned LTI Percentage


	Initial Earned (% of Payout)			rTSR Modifier			Adjusted Value (% of Payout)			Final Earned PARSU Percentage

Revenue (50%)		77.8	%		50.0	%		38.9	%	19.5%
Adjusted EBITDA (50%)*		0.0	%		50.0	%		0.0	%	19.5%

Please refer to earlier description of certain adjustments to the metrics.

Based on the foregoing calculation, the following table shows the stock options and final earned PARSUs granted under the 2022 LTIP. Dr. Aguilar received an incremental PARSU allocation of 5.5% in recognition of his 2022 performance and contribution in the critically important areas of medical quality, research and clinical training.


	Target LTI Value			Awarded LTI Value		Awarded PARSUs				Awarded Stock Options
	Target LTI Value			Awarded LTI Value		Value ($)		Number (#)		Value ($)		Number (#)

Dr. Marlow Hernandez	$	2,700,000		$	960,242	$	420,242		348,604	$	540,000		729,730

Brian D. Koppy	$	962,000		$	342,131	$	149,731		124,206	$	192,400		260,000

Robert Camerlinck*	$	545,929	*	$	194,157	$	84,971		70,486	$	109,186		147,548

Dr. Richard Aguilar	$	724,000		$	289,600	$	144,800		120,116	$	144,800		195,676

David Armstrong	$	543,000		$	193,115	$	84,515		70,108	$	108,600		146,757

* Mr. Camerlinck’s LTI is based on proration of his target LTI of $224,000 at 57.8% prior to becoming COO in August 2022, and his target LTI of $1 million at 41.6% after becoming COO.

2022 Target LTI Value versus Awarded LTI Value

Following completion of the 2022 performance period:

•

The PARSUs were granted on March 31, 2023, with the number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) calculated by dividing the applicable earned value by $1.2055, the average per share closing price of our Class A common stock during the 20-trading days prior to and including the grant date. (An average closing price was used to smooth single-day price volatility in our share price.)

•

The stock options were granted on March 31, 2023 with the number of options calculated based on the Black-Scholes value on the grant date; the exercise price was $0.91 per share, being the per share closing price of our Class A common stock on the grant date.

Notwithstanding that the foregoing LTI awards were granted with respect to 2022 performance, as required by applicable SEC rules, these LTI awards will be reported in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan Based Awards Table included in our 2024 proxy statement because they were formally granted in 2023.

Please refer to the 2022 proxy statement for a discussion of the equity awards formally granted in 2022 with respect to the 2021 performance period which are reflected in the Grants of Plan Based Awards table.

Separate from the annual LTIP awards, and pursuant to his employment agreement, on August 1, 2022 Mr. Camerlinck also received a 1-time promotion equity grant of 250,000 RSUs, which will vest pro-rata over 4 years commencing on the 1st anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Camerlinck’s continued employment with us through each such vesting date.

Other Compensation and Governance Matters

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our NEOs which provide for “at will” employment. For additional information regarding the material terms of each NEO’s employment agreement, please see the section below entitled “Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers.” Each of our NEOs is also subject to a non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, and assignment agreement, which provides for a perpetual post-termination confidentiality covenant as well as non-competition and non-solicitation of customers, employees and consultants covenants that apply during employment and for 1 year following termination, subject to the type of termination in the case of the non-competition provision.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers, including each of our Board’s nominees for director. These agreements provide that we shall indemnify each of our directors and such officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and our Certificate of Incorporation and our By-laws. We also maintain a general liability insurance policy, which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of ours arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

Retirement, Health, Welfare, Perquisites and Personal Benefits

Our NEOs are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans and programs, including medical and dental benefits, flexible spending accounts, short and long-term disability, and life insurance, to the same extent as our other full-time employees, subject to the terms and eligibility requirements of those plans.

We sponsor a 401(k) defined contribution plan in which our U.S.-based NEOs may participate, subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC Code”), to the same extent as our other U.S.-based regular employees.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan, employees, including our NEOs, have an opportunity to purchase our Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The purpose of the employee stock purchase plan is to encourage our employees, including our NEOs, to become our stockholders and better align their interests with those of our other stockholders.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Compensation Committee has established stock ownership guidelines to encourage equity ownership by our executive officers and non- employee directors in order to reinforce the link between their financial interests and those of our stockholders. Under our stock ownership guidelines, our CEO is expected to own an amount of our stock equal in value to at least 5 times his base salary; our other NEOs are expected to own an amount of our stock equal in value to at least 3 times their respective base salaries; and our non-employee directors are expected to own an amount of our stock equal in value to at least 5 times their annual cash retainer. Until this minimum level is met, the applicable individual would be required to retain at least 50% (100% in the case of non-employee directors) of the after-tax shares acquired upon exercise of stock options and vesting of any restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share awards.

What Counts Toward the Guidelines

What Does Not Count Toward the Guidelines

✓ Shares owned by the executive/non-employee director, and their respective immediate family members or family trust

✓ Fully-vested share awards that have been deferred for future delivery

× Unvested and unearned restricted stock/restricted stock units/performance shares

× Unexercised stock options

Hedging and Pledging Transactions

Pursuant to our Insider Trading Policy, we prohibit our directors, officers and certain designated employees from buying or selling puts, calls, other derivative securities of the Company or any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of the Company’s securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of the Company’s securities or engage in any other hedging transaction with respect to the Company’s securities, at any time.

We also have an anti-pledging policy whereby no executive officer or director may pledge the Company’s securities as collateral for a loan (or modify an existing pledge) unless the pledge has been approved by the Audit Committee. As described earlier in this CD&A, we have a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy under which compensation is predominantly earned and delivered in the form of equity. Given that our executive compensation program is heavily weighted towards equity, we believe permitting a limited amount of pledging is necessary and appropriate because it mitigates the need for executives to sell Company shares to address unanticipated or urgent personal and family liquidity needs. As part of its risk oversight function, the Audit Committee reviews any share pledges to assess whether such pledging poses an undue risk to the Company. As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding pledges for our NEOs and directors.

Tax Deductibility Policy

The Compensation Committee considered the deductibility of compensation for federal income tax purposes in the design of the Company’s compensation programs. While the Company generally seeks to maintain the deductibility of the incentive compensation paid to its executive officers, the Compensation Committee retains the flexibility necessary to provide cash and equity compensation in line with competitive practices, its compensation philosophy and the best interests of its stockholders, even if these amounts are not fully tax deductible.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Company has determined that any risks arising from its compensation programs and policies are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company’s compensation programs and policies mitigate risk by combining performance-based, long-term compensation elements with payouts that are highly correlated to the value delivered to stockholders. The combination of performance measures for annual bonuses and the equity compensation programs, as well as the multiyear vesting schedules for equity awards, encourage executives to maintain both a short- and a long-term view with respect to the Company’s performance.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K with our management. Based upon this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in this filing.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested in Fiscal Year 2022

The following table sets forth the aggregate number of shares of our Class A common stock earned by our NEOs upon vesting of RSUs and the value realized during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, none of our NEOs exercised any stock options.


	Stock Awards
Name	Number of Shares Acquired on Vesting (#)		Value Realized on Vesting⁽¹⁾ ($)
Dr. Marlow Hernandez		647,083		2,771,850
Brian Koppy		231,633		866,176
Dr. Richard Aguilar		207,153		889,904
Robert Camerlinck		94,701		531,345
David Armstrong		146,570		653,531

(1)

The value realized upon vesting of RSUs is calculated by multiplying the number of RSUs vested by the closing market price of a share of our Class A common stock as reported on the NYSE on such vesting date (or, if no market quotations are reported for such date, the most recent preceding date for which there are market quotations).

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following tables present information concerning estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to our NEOs in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment, including qualifying terminations of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company. The payments and benefits set forth below are estimated assuming that the termination or change in control event occurred on the last business day of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, using the per share closing market price of our Class A common stock on December 30, 2022 (the last trading day in such fiscal year) of $1.37. Actual payments and benefits could be different if such events were to occur on any other date or at any other price or if any other assumptions are used to estimate potential payments and benefits.

In addition, the amounts in the tables below exclude payments that would be made for (i) accrued salary and vacation pay; (ii) distribution of plan balances under our 401(k) plan; (iii) life insurance proceeds in the event of death; and (iv) disability insurance payouts in the event of disability to the extent they have been earned prior to the termination of employment or are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees upon termination of employment.

(3)	Represents 12 months of our contribution toward health insurance, based on our actual costs to provide health insurance to the NEO as of the date of termination.

(4)	Represents (i) 2 times the sum of (x) the NEO’s base salary and (y) the average annual incentive compensation paid in each of the 2 completed years prior to the year of his date of termination; and (ii) a pro-rated portion of the NEO’s target bonus for the year in which termination occurs.

(5)

Represents the sum of (i) the value of unvested RSUs held by each NEO as of December 31, 2022, and (ii) the value of each NEO’s PARSUs as of December 31, 2022. In addition, in the event that these equity awards are not substituted, assumed or continued in connection with a “sale event” (as defined in our 2021 Plan), each award will accelerate in full immediately prior to such sale event.

Equity Compensation Plan Information Table

The following table provides information as of December 31, 2022 regarding shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the 2021 Plan and the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “2021 ESPP”):


Plan Category	Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights (a)			Weighted Average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights (b)			Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plan (excluding securities referenced in column (a)) (c)

Total		21,993,701						30,091,879

(1)	Amount includes 11,040,650 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options granted under the 2021 Plan and 10,953,051 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon vesting of RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan.

(2)	Since RSUs do not have any exercise price, such units are not included in the weighted average exercise price calculation.

(3)

Includes 27,011,952 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan and 3,079,927 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2021 ESPP. The 2021 ESPP provides that the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved and available for issuance under the plan will automatically increase on January 1, 2022 and each January 1 thereafter by the least of (i) 1% of the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31; (ii) 15,000,000 shares; or (iii) such lesser number as determined by the Compensation Committee, in its role as the plan administrator. Amount does not include the 2,259,178 shares which were added to the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2021 ESPP on January 1, 2023 as a result of such automatic annual increase.

Pay Ratio Disclosure

In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K we determined the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO, Dr. Hernandez, relative to the annual total compensation of our median employee. For the purposes of reporting annual total compensation and the ratio of annual total compensation of the CEO to the median employee, the annual total compensation of both our CEO and our median employee were calculated in a manner that is consistent with the disclosure requirements in the Summary Compensation Table.

In 2022, we acquired Serenity Community Mental Health Center LLC and Miami Personal Behavioral LLC (the “Serenity Transaction”) and several additional small businesses. However, such acquisitions have not caused any material change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that would significantly impact the pay ratio disclosure. Accordingly, for purposes of calculating the pay ratio set forth below, we used the same median employee we identified for purposes of our 2021 pay ratio.

After applying the methodology described above, the annual total compensation of our median employee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was $37,916. The annual total compensation of our CEO for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was $4,320,007, as reported in the “Total Compensation” column in the Summary Compensation Table above. Based on this information, for 2022, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee was 114:1.

Company Selected Measure is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, where “EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA, adjusted to add back the effect of certain expenses, such as stock- based compensation expense,

non-cash

goodwill impairment loss, transaction costs (consisting of transaction costs and corporate development payroll costs), restructuring and other charges, fair value adjustments in contingent consideration, loss on extinguishment of debt and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. For the periods through December 31, 2022, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we also excluded the impact of de novo losses consisting of costs associated with the ramp up of new medical centers and losses incurred for the 12 months after the opening of a new facility. While we consider numerous financial and

non-financial

performance measures for the purpose of evaluating and determining executive compensation, we consider Adjusted EBITDA, which is one of the measures used to determine annual cash incentive compensation for our NEOS, to be the most important performance measure that we used to link “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs for fiscal year 2022 to our performance for 2022.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2022, the following directors, all of whom are independent directors, served on our Compensation Committee: Dr. Lewis Gold, Angel Morales and Dr. Alan Muney. Dr. Lewis resigned as a director and member of the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee effective March 30, 2023. None of our executive officers serve as a member of a board of directors or Compensation Committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our Board or Compensation Committee.

Table of Contents

Non-Employee

Director Compensation

We believe that a combination of cash and equity compensation is appropriate to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, high-caliber individuals to serve on our Board of Directors. We further believe that it is appropriate to provide cash compensation to our

non-employee

directors to compensate them for their time and effort and to provide equity compensation to our

non-employee

directors to align their long-term interests with those of the Company and our stockholders.

In connection with our business combination, our Compensation Committee engaged KPMG International as its compensation consultant to advise on, among other things,

non-employee

director compensation matters. In doing so, our Compensation Committee reviewed and considered peer group compensation data prepared by KPMG International.

Based on the recommendations provided by KPMG International and upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, in June 2021 our Board of Directors adopted a

non-employee

director compensation policy for the compensation of our

non-employee

directors following our business combination. Under our

non-employee

director compensation policy, each

non-employee

director will be paid cash retainers for services provided to our Company, as set forth below:


		Member Annual Fee ($)
Annual service on our Board of Directors		50,000
Additional retainer for Lead Independent Director		35,000

In May 2022, our Board of Directors elected to revise our

non-employee

director compensation policy to provide that for future services the cash retainers would be paid in the form of RSUs in lieu of cash.

In addition, pursuant to our

non-employee

director compensation policy, each

non-employee

director will receive an annual grant of RSUs under the 2021 Plan with a grant date fair market value of $200,000. The RSUs will vest in a single installment on the earlier to occur of the 1st anniversary of the grant date or the next annual meeting, subject to continued service as a director through such vesting date. Any outstanding unvested RSU awards will accelerate in full upon a sale event (as defined in our 2021 Plan).

In addition, our director compensation policy provides that

non-employee

directors will be reimbursed for all travel expenses incurred by such

non-employee

directors in attending meetings of our Board of Directors or any committee thereof.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Policies for Approval of Related Party Transactions

The Board has adopted a Related Person Transaction Policy that sets forth the policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related person transactions.” A “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which Cano Health or any of its subsidiaries are participants and a “related person” has a direct or indirect interest.

A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons.

The Company’s Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the material facts of all related person transactions. The Company is responsible for providing the Audit Committee with all material information regarding the related person transaction, the interest of the related person and any of the Company’s potential disclosure obligations in connection with such related person transaction. To identify related person transactions in advance, the Company relies on information supplied by the Company’s executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, the Company’s Audit Committee takes into account among other factors that it deems appropriate, whether the related person transaction is on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms generally available in a transaction with an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the related person transaction.

Related Party Transactions

Other than compensation arrangements for our directors and NEOs, which are described in the sections of this proxy statement titled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance” and “Executive and Director Compensation,” we describe transactions during the last fiscal year to which we were a participant or will be a participant, in which (1) the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and (2) any of our directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of, or person sharing the household with, the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Significant Shareholder Relationship

On March 8, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 21,620,941 shares of Class A common stock to funds affiliated with Diameter Capital Partners LP (collectively, “Diameter”) upon the exercise of the warrants that were issued to Diameter pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2023, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent and transfer agent. The warrants were issued in connection with the consummation of a senior secured term loan to the Company from Diameter and Rubicon Credit Holdings LLC in the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million. The term loan bears interest at a rate equal to (i) on or prior to February 24, 2025, 14% per annum, payable quarterly either (at the Company’s election) in cash or in kind by adding such amount to the principal balance of the term loan and (ii) thereafter, 13% per annum, payable quarterly in cash. The term loan will mature on November 23, 2027.

MedCloud Depot, LLC Relationship

Dental Excellence and Onsite Dental Relationships

On April 14, 2022, CD Support, LLC (“Onsite Dental”) acquired Dental Excellence Partners, LLC (“DEP”), a company who at the time of the acquisition was owned by the spouse of Dr. Marlow Hernandez, the Company’s CEO, and entered into a dental services agreement with the Company. Dr. Hernandez’s spouse became a minority shareholder of Onsite Dental upon closing of the acquisition and serves as a Board observer and Dr. Hernandez’s brother and mother are employed as dentists at DEP.

The Company has various sublease agreements with Onsite Dental. The Company recognized sublease income of approximately $0.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, an immaterial amount was due to the Company pursuant to these agreements.

On October 9, 2020, the Company entered into a dental services agreement with DEP pursuant to which DEP agreed to provide dental services for the Company’s managed care members. The Company paid DEP approximately $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, no balance was due to DEP. Subsequent to Onsite Dental acquiring DEP, the Company entered into a new dental services administration agreement with Onsite Dental to provide dental services for the Company’s managed care members. The Company paid Onsite Dental approximately $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, $1.4 million was owed to Onsite Dental.

Operating Leases

The Company indirectly leased a medical space from Mr. Camerlinck, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. For the medical space, the Company paid Humana, Inc., a managed care organization with whom the Company has entered into multi-year agreements (“Humana”), $0.6 million and Humana paid the Company’s Chief Operating Officer $0.3 million in respect of such medical space for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer leased 3 other properties directly to the Company and was paid $0.4 million in respect of such medical space for the year ended December 31, 2022.

General Contractor Agreements

The Company has entered into various general contractor agreements with a company that is controlled by the father of the Company’s CEO under which the contractor performs leasehold improvements at various Company locations, as well as providing various repairs and related maintenance services. Payments made pursuant to the general contractor agreements, as well as amounts paid for repair and maintenance services, totaled approximately $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Other

The CEO’s sister-in-law is employed at the Company as its director of payroll and during 2022 her cash compensation was approximately $135,000, which the Company believes is at market rates.

For services rendered in 2021, the Company issued 25,386 shares of Class A common stock to Mr. Camerlinck, the Company’s COO, in September 2022 as finder’s fee in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Doctor’s Medical Center, LLC and its affiliates in 2021.

PROPOSAL 3 – APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Overview

Our Board has unanimously approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect (a) a reverse stock split of authorized, including both issued and outstanding and unissued, (i) Class A common stock at a ratio of 1-to-15 and (ii) Class B common stock at a ratio of 1-to-15, with the Board having the right to adjust each such ratio, acting in its sole discretion and in the Company’s best interest, down to 1-to-5 and up to 1-to-30, inclusive, and (b) an adjustment to the par value of the common stock such that the par value of the respective class equals their current par value divided by the Reverse Split Ratio, without further approval or authorization of the Company’s stockholders, during a period of time not to exceed the 1-year anniversary of the date on which the Reverse Stock Split is approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting, subject to the Board’s authority to abandon the Reverse Stock Split at any time or to delay or postpone it. The Board has declared this amendment to be advisable and recommended that this proposal be presented to the Company’s stockholders for approval.

If the stockholders approve this proposal, the Board will have discretion to implement the Reverse Stock Split as described below in the section entitled “Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split.” The form of the Certificate of Amendment is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

Our Class A common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “CANO.” The primary purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the per share market price of our Class A common stock. This may increase the acceptability of our Class A common stock to long-term investors who may not find our shares attractive due to the trading volatility often associated with stocks below certain prices (in many instances, below $5.00 per share), or make our Class A common stock eligible for investment by brokerage houses and institutional investors that have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers or restrict or limit the ability to purchase such stocks on margin.

In addition, the Board believes that effecting the Reverse Stock Split could be an effective means of continuing to maintain compliance with the minimum price requirement for continued listing of our Class A common stock on the NYSE. The reduction in the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Class A common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split is, absent other factors, expected to proportionately increase the market price of our Class A common stock to a level above the current market trading price.

While our Board believes that, if it decides to implement the Reverse Stock Split, the shares of Class A common stock will trade at higher prices than those which have prevailed in the recent past, there can be no assurance that such increase in the trading price will occur or, if it does occur, that it will equal or exceed the direct arithmetical result of the Reverse Stock Split because there are numerous factors and contingencies which could affect the market price. Further, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock. As a result, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above.

Additionally, the liquidity of trading in our Class A common stock may be harmed by the Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the expected increase in the per share stock price as a result of the Reverse Stock Split is not sustained. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split may increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our Class A common stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares. Following the Reverse Stock

Split, the resulting per share stock price may nevertheless fail to attract institutional investors and may not satisfy the investing guidelines of such investors and, consequently, the trading liquidity of our Class A common stock may not improve.

Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split

If the Reverse Stock Split proposal is approved by our stockholders, the Board will have the discretion to implement the Reverse Stock Split or to not effect the Reverse Stock Split at all on or prior to the 1-year anniversary of the date on which the Reverse Stock Split is approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting. If the trading price of our Class A common stock increases without effecting the Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Split may not be necessary.

If our stockholders approve this proposal at the Annual Meeting, the Reverse Stock Split will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by Board, that the Reverse Stock Split is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at that time. No further action on the part of the stockholders will be required to either effect or abandon, delay or postpone the Reverse Stock Split. If our Board does not implement the Reverse Stock Split prior to the 1-year anniversary of the date on which the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the Reverse Stock Split will terminate and the proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split will be abandoned.

The market price of our Class A common stock is dependent upon our performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. If the Reverse Stock Split is effected and the market price of our Class A common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split. Furthermore, the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split could significantly reduce the trading volume and otherwise adversely affect the liquidity of our Class A common stock.

We have not proposed the Reverse Stock Split in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate our shares of Class A common stock or obtain control of the Company, nor is it a plan by management to recommend a series of similar actions to our Board or our stockholders. Notwithstanding the expected decrease in the number of outstanding shares of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split, our Board does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

Risks of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split

We cannot assure you that the proposed Reverse Stock Split will increase the price of our Class A common stock and have the desired effects.

If the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, our Board expects that such transaction will increase the market price of our Class A common stock so that we are able to achieve the goals described under “Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split” in this proposal. However, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split upon the market price of our Class A common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar stock splits for companies in like circumstances is varied. It is possible that (i) the per share price of our Class A common stock after the Reverse Stock Split will not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our Class A common stock outstanding resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, or (ii) the Reverse Stock Split may not result in a per share price that would attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower priced stocks. Even if the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, the market price of our Class A common stock may decrease due to factors unrelated to the Reverse Stock Split. In any case, the market price of our Class A common stock will be based on other factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our future performance. If the Reverse Stock Split is consummated and the trading price of our Class A common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split.

A decline in the market price of our Class A common stock after the Reverse Stock Split is implemented may result in a greater percentage decline than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split.

If the Reverse Stock Split is implemented and the market price of our Class A common stock declines, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split. The market price of our Class A common stock will, however, also be based upon our performance and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding.

The proposed Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our Class A common stock.

The liquidity of our Class A common stock may be harmed by the proposed Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares of Class A common stock that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the stock price does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

As we are not reducing the number of our authorized preferred shares, the Reverse Stock Split could make a change of control more difficult because we will have the right to issue proportionally more preferred shares.

The Reverse Stock Split will not change the number of authorized shares of our preferred shares, as designated by our Certificate of Incorporation. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue 1 or more series of preferred stock, which we are not changing in the Reverse Stock Split. Our Board has the authority to determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our preferred stock could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to the rights of our Class A common stock. The potential issuance of preferred stock may delay or prevent a change in control of us, discouraging bids for our Class A common stock at a premium to the market price, and materially and adversely affect the market price and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Class A common stock. The Reverse Stock Split is not being recommended by the Board as part of an anti-takeover strategy, but rather its principal purpose is for the Company to maintain compliance with the NYSE’s listing standards to maintain the listing of its Class A common stock and to make such shares more attractive to a broader group of investors.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

No officer or director has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Reverse Stock Split that is not shared by all of our other stockholders.

Determination of the Reverse Split Ratio

If the proposal is approved by our stockholders and the Board determines that the Reverse Stock Split is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders at that time, the 1-to-15 split ratio will be subject to adjustment by the Board, acting in its sole discretion and in the Company’s best interest, down to 1-to-5 and up to 1-to-30, inclusive, without further approval or authorization of the Company’s stockholders, during a period of time not to exceed the 1-year anniversary of the date on which the Reverse Stock Split is approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting, subject to the Board’s authority to abandon the Reverse Stock Split at any time or to delay or postpone it. In determining which Reverse Split Ratio to use, the Board may consider numerous factors, including the historical trading price and trading volume of our Class A common stock, the number of shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding, the projected performance of our Class A common stock, the expected impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for the common stock, the NYSE’s minimum per share price listing standard, which Reverse Stock Split ratio would result in the least administrative costs to us, prevailing market conditions and general economic trends, and will place emphasis on the expected closing price of our Class A common stock in the period following the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. The Board will also consider the impact of the Reverse Split Ratio on investor interest. The purpose of selecting a range is to give the Company the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond to a changing investment environment, such as higher inflation, higher interest rates and related factors.

Based on the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding and authorized as of May 8, 2023, after completion of the Reverse Stock Split, we will have between (i) approximately 18,595,039 shares of Class A common stock and 17,143,049 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding and approximately 381,404,961 shares of Class A common stock and 49,523,618 shares of Class B common stock that are authorized but unissued using a 1-to-15 split ratio; (ii) approximately 55,785,118 shares of Class A common stock and 51,429,146 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding and approximately 1,144,214,882 shares of Class A common stock and 148,570,854 shares of Class B common stock that are authorized but unissued using a 1-to-5 split ratio; and (iii) approximately 9,297,520 shares of Class A common stock and 8,571,524 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding and approximately 190,702,480 shares of Class A common stock and 24,761,809 shares of Class B common stock that are authorized but unissued using a 1-to-30 split ratio, in each case subject to interpolation between such ratios. After completion of the Reverse Stock Split, the par value of the common stock will be $0.0005 using a 1-to-5 split ratio, $0.0015 using a 1-to-15 split ratio, and $0.003 using a 1-to-30 split ratio.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

After the effective date of the proposed Reverse Stock Split, each stockholder will own a reduced number of shares of common stock, depending on the final split ratio used to effect the Reverse Stock Split. Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, the proposed Reverse Stock Split will affect all stockholders uniformly. The proportionate voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of our common stock will not be affected by the proposed Reverse Stock Split (other than as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares). For example, a holder of 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately prior to a Reverse Stock Split would continue to hold 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately after such Reverse Stock Split, subject to the treatment of any fractional shares as described herein. The number of stockholders of record also will not be affected by the proposed Reverse Stock Split, except to the extent that any stockholder holds only a fractional share interest and receives cash for such interest after the Reverse Stock Split.

The following table contains approximate number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock, and the estimated per share trading price following a 1-to-5-to 1-to-30 Reverse Stock Split, without giving effect to any adjustments for fractional shares of common stock or the issuance of any derivative securities, as of May 8, 2023.

After Each Reverse Stock Split Ratio	Current		1:5		1:15		1:20		1:30
Price per share, based on the closing price of our common stock on May 8, 2023	$	1.12	$	5.60	$	16.80	$	22.40	$	33.60

(1)

Includes: (i) 12,243,368 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, with a weighted average exercise price of $3.80 per share, under our 2021 Plan; (ii) 11,045,286 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units issued pursuant to the 2021 Plan; (iii) 28,808,016 shares of Class A common stock available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan and the 2021 ESPP; (iv) 33,533,192 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants related to the warrant agreement dated May 18, 2020, with a weighted average exercise price of $11.50 per share; and (v) 7,862,160 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants related to the warrant agreement dated February 24, 2023, with a weighted average exercise price of $0.01 per share.

(2)	The Class A common stock issued and outstanding includes 2,720,966 shares of Class A common stock held in escrow as part of the consideration transferred in connection with an acquisition.

After the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the CUSIP number for our Class A common stock will change in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Our Class B common stock does not have a CUSIP number and we do not intend to obtain one in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

Our Class A common stock and warrants to purchase Class A common stock (“Public Warrants”) are currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed Reverse Stock Split will not affect the registration of our common stock or Public Warrants under the Exchange Act. Our Class A common stock would continue to trade on NYSE under the symbol “CANO,” although it is likely that NYSE would add the letter “D” to the end of the trading symbol for a period of 20 trading days after the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split to indicate that the Reverse Stock Split had occurred.

Effect on Outstanding Derivative Securities

The Reverse Stock Split will require that proportionate adjustments be made to the conversion rate, the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise, vesting or conversion of the following outstanding derivative securities issued by us, in accordance with the split ratio (all figures are as of March 31, 2023 and are on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis), including:

•

12,243,368 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, at a weighted average exercise price of $2.83 per share under the 2021 Plan;

•

11,045,286 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units issued pursuant to the 2021 Plan;

•

33,533,192 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants related to the warrant agreement dated May 18, 2020, with a weighted average exercise price of $11.50 per share; and

•

7,862,160 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants related to the warrant agreement dated February 24, 2023, with a weighted average exercise price of $0.01 per share.

The adjustments to the above securities, as required by the Reverse Stock Split and in accordance with the split ratio, would result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under

such securities upon exercise, and approximately the same value of shares of Class A common stock being delivered upon such exercise or conversion, immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split.

Procedures

The Reverse Stock Split would become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The exact timing of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, if it is filed, would be determined by our Board based on its evaluation as to when such action would be in our and our stockholders’ best interests. In addition, our Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to filing the Certificate of Amendment, our Board determines, acting in its sole discretion, that to proceed with it is not in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. Following are descriptions of how the Reverse Stock Split would be implemented for beneficial holders and registered book-entry holders.

●

Beneficial Holders. Upon implementing the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat shares held by stockholders through a broker, bank or other agent in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Brokers, banks and other agents would be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding our common stock in street name. However, these brokers, banks and other agents may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold shares of our common stock with a broker, bank or other agent and who have any questions in this regard are strongly encouraged to contact their brokers, banks or other agents for more information.

●

Registered “Book Entry” Holders. Certain of our registered holders of common stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with Continental, our transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. If the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, stockholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with Continental would not need to take action to receive whole shares of post-reverse split common stock as the exchange will be automatic.

Authorized Shares of Common Stock

We are currently authorized under our Certificate of Incorporation to issue up to a total of 6,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 1,000,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. The Reverse Stock Split will decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock under our Certificate of Incorporation by the same ratio as that used to decrease the number of our outstanding shares of common stock in the Reverse Stock Split. See “—Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split.”

Payment of Cash in Lieu of Issuing Fractional Shares

The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and would not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in such stockholder owning a fractional share. We do not currently intend to issue fractional shares of our common stock in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would hold fractional shares because the number of shares of common stock they held before the Reverse Stock Split will be entitled to cash payments (without interest or deduction) in respect of such fractional shares.

To avoid the existence of fractional shares of our common stock—

•

Class A common stock: Our transfer agent will aggregate all fractional shares of Class A common stock and sell them as soon as practicable after the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split at the

then-prevailing prices on the open market, on behalf of the Class A common stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Class A Common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. We expect that our transfer agent will conduct the sale in an orderly fashion at a reasonable pace and that it may take several days to sell all of the aggregated fractional shares of our Class A common stock (the “Aggregated Fractional Shares”). After our transfer agent’s completion of such sale, stockholders who would have been entitled to a fractional share of Class A common stock will instead receive a cash payment from our transfer agent in an amount equal to their respective pro rata shares of the total proceeds of that sale (the “Total Sale Proceeds”).

•

Class B common stock: Holders of Class B common stock will receive, in lieu of any fractional share, an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by a share price equal to the Total Sale Proceeds divided by the Aggregated Fractional Shares.

Stockholders should be aware that, under the escheat laws of various jurisdictions, sums due for fractional interests that are not timely claimed after the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split may be required to be paid to the designated agent for each such jurisdiction, unless correspondence has been received by us or our transfer agent concerning ownership of such funds within the time permitted in such jurisdiction. Thereafter, if applicable, stockholders otherwise entitled to receive such funds, but who do not receive them due to, for example, their failure to timely comply with our transfer agent’s instructions (described below), will have to seek to obtain such funds directly from the state to which they were paid.

Accounting Treatment

The par value of the common stock will be adjusted by the same ratio as that used to decrease the number of our outstanding shares of common stock in the Reverse Stock Split. See “—Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split.” As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the stated capital on the balance sheet attributable to the common stock and the additional paid-in capital account will not change. The per share common stock net income or loss and any other per common share amount will be increased because there will be fewer shares of the common stock outstanding and we will adjust historical per share amounts set forth in our future financial statements to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split. The Company does not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Related to the Reverse Stock Split

The discussion below is only a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations related to the Reverse Stock Split generally applicable to beneficial holders of shares of our common stock and does not purport to be a complete discussion of all possible tax considerations or consequences. This summary addresses only those stockholders who hold their pre-Reverse Stock Split shares as “capital assets” as defined in the IRC Code and will hold the post-Reverse Stock Split shares as capital assets. This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations or consequences that could be relevant to particular stockholders in light of their individual circumstances or to stockholders that are subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, and foreign stockholders. The following summary is based upon the provisions of the IRC Code, applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, judicial decisions and current administrative rulings, as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. Tax considerations and consequences under state, local, foreign, and other laws are not addressed herein. Each stockholder should consult their own tax advisor as to the particular facts and circumstances that could be unique to such stockholder and also as to any estate, gift, state, local or foreign tax considerations arising out of the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split will qualify as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result:

•

stockholders should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split (except for cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share of common stock);

PROPOSAL 4 – RATIFICATION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE’S APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023. Services provided to the Company and its subsidiaries by Ernst & Young LLP for the year ended December 31, 2022 are described below and under the section titled “Audit Committee Report.”

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Fees

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) for the integrated audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and internal control over financial reporting and fees billed for other services rendered by EY:


	2022	2021
Audit Fees	$3,984,674	$4,885,093
Audit-Related Fees	—	$ 505,000
Tax Fees	—	$ 137,500
All Other Fees	—	—
Total	$3,984,674	$5,527,593

In the above table, and in accordance with SEC definitions and rules: (1) “Audit Fees”” are fees for professional services for the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Form 10-K, review of unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-Qs, and for services that are normally provided by EY in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements; (2) “Audit-Related Fees” are fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to EY’s performance of the audit or review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements; (3) “Tax Fees” are fees billed for professional services rendered by EY for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and (4) “all other fees” are fees for any services rendered by EY that are not included in the 1st 2 categories.

The Audit Committee has a Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve EY’s audit and non-audit services in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair EY’s independence from the Company. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to the chair of the Audit Committee, who is responsible for reporting any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to us by EY. The term of any pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee approves a different period. Any such pre-approval details the particular service or type of services to be provided and is also generally subject to a maximum dollar amount. Any proposed services exceeding the Audit Committee’s pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Pre-approval is waived for non-audit services that satisfy the “de minimis” provisions of Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee pre-approved all services provided by EY during 2022.

Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and we expect that they will be available to respond to questions.

If the Company’s stockholders do not ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment and may affirm the appointment or retain another independent accounting firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may in the future replace Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm if it is determined that it is in the Company’s best interests to do so.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

We have retained Mackenzie Partners, Inc. to provide various services relating to the solicitation of proxies, including webhosting, printing, mailing and tabulating votes. We are paying the fees and expenses of this solicitation, which we estimate to be approximately $300,000. We will also make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to beneficial owners of stock held as of the record date by such persons, and the Company will reimburse such persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding such proxy materials, but we will not pay any compensation for their services. In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and other employees of the Company may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, email or other similar means and will not receive additional compensation therefor.

STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

If you and other residents at your mailing address own shares of common stock in street name, your broker, bank or other nominee may have sent you a notice that your household will receive only 1 set of proxy materials. This procedure is known as “householding” and is intended to reduce the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and also reduce our printing and postage costs. If you consented or were deemed to have consented to householding, your broker, bank or other nominee may send 1 set of proxy materials to your address for all residents that own shares of common stock in street name. If you wish to revoke your consent to householding, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee. If you are receiving multiple sets of proxy materials, you may be able to request householding by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee.

If you wish to request extra or separate copies free of charge of proxy materials, please send your request in writing to 9725 NW 117th Avenue, Miami, FL 33178, Attention: Investor Relations or by telephone at 786-206-1930 or by email at investors@canohealth.com. The Company will undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request an extra or separate copy of proxy materials.

OTHER MATTERS

We are not aware of any matters other than those discussed in the foregoing materials contemplated for action at the Annual Meeting. The persons named in the WHITE proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Board on any other matters incidental to the conduct of, or otherwise properly brought before, the Annual Meeting. The WHITE proxy card contains discretionary authority for them to do so.
