Recommendations of the Board

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) recommends that you vote your shares as indicated below. If you return a properly completed proxy card, or vote your shares by telephone or Internet, your shares of common stock will be voted on your behalf as you direct.

•	FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm; and

•	FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED ON

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

We currently have nine (9) directors on our Board. The Board has nominated three (3) Class III Directors, Clinton P. Jones, Jeremy W. Gelber and Dr. Karolina H. Hilu, to be elected to the Board at the Annual Meeting. If elected by our stockholders, each nominee will serve a three-year term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2026. Each director will hold office until such director’s respective successor is elected and qualified or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

As set forth in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is currently divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. The current class structure is as follows: Class I, whose term currently expires at the 2024 Annual Meeting; Class II, whose term currently expires at the 2025 Annual Meeting; and Class III, whose term will expire at the Annual Meeting and whose subsequent term will expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting. The current Class I Directors are Alexander E. Timm, David Fisher and Vijay Kotte; the current Class II Directors are Brandon M. Cruz, Joseph G. Flanagan and Christopher C. Litchford; and the current Class III Directors are Clinton P. Jones, Jeremy W. Gelber and Dr. Karolina H. Hilu.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed from time to time by the Board of Directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our Board of Directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of our Company. Our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.

In connection with the IPO of our Class A common stock in July 2020, we entered into a Stockholders’ Agreement between the Company and certain stockholders of the Company, including Centerbridge and NVX Holdings. As a result of the Stockholders’ Agreement and the aggregate voting power of the parties to the agreement, we expect that the parties to the agreement acting in conjunction will control the election of directors at GoHealth. For more information, see “Corporate Governance—Stockholders’ Agreement.”

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares of common stock represented thereby for the election as a Class III Director of the person whose name and biography appears below. In the event that any of Mr. Jones, Mr. Gelber or Dr. Hilu should become unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors, or the Board may elect to reduce its size. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of Mr. Jones, Mr. Gelber and Dr. Hilu will be unable to serve if elected. Each of Mr. Jones, Mr. Gelber and Dr. Hilu has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.

Vote Required

The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class III Directors.

Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the below Class III Director nominees.

Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Our Board has directed that this appointment be submitted to our stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Although ratification of our appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is not required, we value the opinions of our stockholders and believe that stockholder ratification of our appointment is a good corporate governance practice.

Ernst & Young LLP also served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Neither the accounting firm nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with us in any capacity other than as our auditors, providing audit and non-audit related services. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to attend the 2023 Annual Meeting and to have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

In the event that the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is not ratified by the stockholders, the Audit Committee will consider this fact when it appoints the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Even if the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change is in the best interest of the Company.

Vote Required

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors unanimously recommend a vote FOR the Ratification of the Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and has discussed these financial statements with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has also received from, and discussed with, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm various communications that such independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed by statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and pursuant to applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with a formal written statement required by PCAOB Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence) describing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company, including the disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company.

Based on its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FEES AND OTHER MATTERS

The following table summarizes the fees of Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, billed to us for each of the last two fiscal years for audit services and billed to us for each of the last two fiscal years for other services:

Fee Category	2022	2021
Audit Fees	$3,265,285	$3,545,000
Audit-Related Fees	$30,550	$30,450
Tax Fees	$501,899	$681,822
All Other Fees	—	—
Total Fees	$3,797,734	$4,257,272

Audit Fees

Audit fees consist of all professional services rendered in connection with (a) the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, (b) the reviews of our quarterly consolidated financial statements, and (c) consents and review of other documents filed with the SEC.

Audit-Related Fees

Audit-related fees consist of internal control readiness (with respect to 2021) and professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our 401(k) retirement plan.

Tax Fees

Tax fees consist of tax compliance preparation services.

All Other Fees

All other fees consist of services not captured in the audit or audit-related categories.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy (the “Pre-Approval Policy”) that sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm may be pre-approved. The Pre-Approval Policy generally provides that we will not engage Ernst & Young LLP to render any audit, audit-related, tax or permissible non-audit service unless the service is either (i) explicitly approved by the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”) or (ii) entered into pursuant to the pre-approval policies and procedures described in the Pre-Approval Policy (“general pre-approval”). Unless a type of service to be provided by Ernst & Young LLP has received general pre-approval under the Pre-Approval Policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee or by a designated member of the Audit Committee to whom the committee has delegated the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval. For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent registered public accounting firm is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor should necessarily be determinative. On a periodic basis, the Audit Committee reviews and generally pre-approves the services (and related fee levels or budgeted amounts) that may be provided by Ernst & Young LLP without first obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

Proposal 3: Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (“Say-on-Pay Vote”)

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, we are providing our stockholders an opportunity to cast a non-binding, advisory vote to approve of the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this proxy statement.

As described in detail under the heading “Executive Compensation” in this proxy statement, our executive compensation programs are designed to align compensation to business strategy and outcomes that deliver value to stockholders; reward high-performing individuals; and assure compensation is competitive in the relevant employment marketplace to support the attraction, motivation and retention of executive talent. Please read the compensation tables and the related narrative disclosure contained in this proxy statement for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 2022 compensation of our NEOs.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our NEO compensation as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our NEOs’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific type of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, our Board of Directors recommends that our stockholders vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion that accompanies the compensation tables, is hereby APPROVED.”

Advisory Vote

The Say-on-Pay Vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. However, we value stockholders’ opinions, and we will consider the outcome of the Say-on-Pay Vote when determining future executive compensation programs.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our NEOs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and charters for our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Audit Committee and Compensation Committee to assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and to serve as a framework for the effective governance of the Company. You can access our current committee charters, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in the “Governance” section under the “Documents & Charters” in our investor relations section of our corporate website located at investors.gohealth.com, or by writing to our Corporate Secretary at our offices at 214 West Huron St., Chicago, Illinois 60654.

Board Composition

Our Board of Directors currently consists of nine members: Brandon M. Cruz, Joseph G. Flanagan, David Fisher, Jeremy W. Gelber, Karolina H. Hilu, Clinton P. Jones, Christopher Litchford, Vijay Kotte, and Alexander E. Timm. As set forth in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is currently divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board of Directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our Board of Directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of our Company. Our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.

Diversity

The Board recognizes the value of diversity and appreciates that a diverse Board results in a more effective decision-making process. In evaluating candidates for the Board, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee look for many factors that can help to create a diverse group of individuals, including professional experience, skills, background, education, geography and gender, race and ethnicity.

The following table provides information regarding our directors’ diversity. The diversity information presented below is based upon voluntary self-identification responses we received from each director.

Stockholders’ Agreement

On July 15, 2020, we entered into the Stockholders Agreement with Centerbridge and NVX Holdings, pursuant to which each party thereto agreed to vote, or cause to be voted, all of their outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock at any annual meeting of stockholders in which directors are elected, so as to cause the election of the Centerbridge Directors, Centerbridge-Designated Independent Directors,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Founders Directors and Founders-Designated Independent Directors (each as defined below). The Stockholders’ Agreement provides Centerbridge and NVX Holdings with certain board designation rights for so long as they maintain a certain percentage of ownership of our outstanding Class A common stock.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Centerbridge has the right to designate for nomination by the Board in any applicable election that number of individuals, which, assuming all such individuals are successfully elected to the Board, when taken together with any incumbent Centerbridge Director not standing for election in such election, would result in there being two directors, or the “Centerbridge Directors,” who are Centerbridge Directors for as long as Centerbridge directly or indirectly, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, at least 10% of our Class A common stock. If at any time, Centerbridge directly or indirectly, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than 10% but at least 5% of our Class A common stock, Centerbridge has the right to designate that number of individuals, which, assuming all such individuals are successfully elected to the Board, when taken together with any incumbent Centerbridge Director not standing for election in such election, would result in there being one Centerbridge Director on the Board. In addition, Centerbridge has the right to designate for nomination by the Board in any applicable election that number of individuals, which assuming all such individuals are successfully elected to the Board, when taken together with any incumbent Centerbridge-Designated Independent Director, would result in there being two individuals who satisfy the independence requirements specified in the Stockholders Agreement, or the “Centerbridge-Designated Independent Directors,” for as long as Centerbridge directly or indirectly, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, at least 20% of our Class A common stock. If at any time Centerbridge directly or indirectly, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than 20% but at least 15% of our Class A common stock, Centerbridge will have the right to designate for nomination by the Board in any applicable election that number of individuals, which assuming all such individuals are successfully elected to the Board, when taken together with any incumbent Centerbridge-Designated Independent Director, would result in there being one Centerbridge-Designated Independent Director on the Board.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, NVX Holdings has the right to designate for nomination by the Board in any applicable election that number of individuals, which assuming such individuals are successfully elected to the Board, when taken together with any incumbent Founder Director not standing for election in such election, would result in there being two directors, or the “Founders Directors,” who will be the Founders Directors for as long as NVX Holdings directly or indirectly, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 10% or more of our Class A common stock. If at any time NVX Holdings directly or indirectly, beneficially owns, in the aggregate less than 10% but at least 5% of our Class A common stock, NVX Holdings has the right designate for nomination by the Board in any applicable election that number of individuals, which assuming such individuals are successfully elected to the Board, when taken together with any incumbent Founder Director not standing for election in such election, would result in there being one Founder Director. In addition, NVX Holdings has the right to designate for nomination by the Board in any applicable election that number of individuals who satisfy the independence requirements specified in the Stockholders Agreement, which, assuming all such individuals are successfully elected to the Board, when taken together with any incumbent Founders-Designated Independent Director not standing for election in such election, would result in there being two Directors, or the “Founders-Designated Independent Directors,” who will be Founders-Designated Independent Directors for as long as NVX Holdings directly or indirectly, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, at least 20% of our Class A common stock. If at any time, NVX Holdings directly or indirectly, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than 20% but at least 15% of our Class A common stock, NVX Holdings will have the right to designate for nomination that number of individuals, which, assuming all such individuals are successfully elected to the Board, when taken together with any incumbent Founders-Designated Independent Director not standing for election in such election, would result in there being one Founder-Designated Independent Director.

Controlled Company Exemptions

NVX Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Centerbridge Capital Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, certain funds affiliated with Centerbridge Capital Partners III, L.P. and other entities over which Centerbridge Capital Partners III, L.P. has voting control together have more than 50% of the combined voting power of our common stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market, or “Nasdaq” and have elected not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including that: (1) we have a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that is composed entirely of independent directors

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and (2) we have Compensation Committee that is composed entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. For so long as we remain a “controlled company,” we may continue to avail ourselves of the exemptions available to “controlled companies”. If we cease to be a “controlled company” and our shares continue to be listed on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with these provisions within the applicable transition periods.

Director Independence

Joseph Flanagan, David Fisher, Jeremy Gelber, Karolina Hilu, Christopher Litchford and Alexander Timm each qualify as “independent” in accordance with the listing requirements of Nasdaq. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests, including that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by Nasdaq rules, our Board of Directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management, including that Mr. Gelber and Mr. Litchford are affiliated with certain of our significant stockholders. Clinton Jones and Brandon Cruz are not independent as both were employed by the Company in the last 3 years. Brandon Cruz, our Co-Chairman of the Board is the brother of Shane Cruz, our Chief Strategy Officer. Otherwise, there are no family relationships among any of our executive officers or directors. In addition, Dr. Gayle and Ms. Tawil, both of whom served on the Board during 2022, were deemed independent.

Director Candidates

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is primarily responsible for searching for qualified director candidates for election to the Board and filling vacancies on the Board. To facilitate the search process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit current directors and executives of the Company for the names of potentially qualified candidates or ask directors and executives to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates or consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence from the Company and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for candidates for election as a director.

Under the Stockholders Agreement, the directors designated for election to the applicable classes of the Board are (i) Mr. Gelber, Mr. Litchford, Mr. Flanagan and Mr. Timm by Centerbridge, and (ii) Mr. Cruz, Mr. Jones, Mr. Fisher and Dr. Hilu by NVX Holdings.

In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current Board members), the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the Board, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, may take into account many factors, including: personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; strong finance experience; experience relevant to the Company’s industry; experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly held company; relevant academic expertise or other proficiency in an area of the Company’s operations; diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to the Company’s business relative to other board members; diversity of background and perspective, including, but not limited to, with respect to age, gender, race, place of residence and specialized experience; practical and mature business judgment, including, but not limited to, the ability to make independent analytical inquiries; and any other relevant qualifications, attributes or skills. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, GoHealth, Inc., 214 West Huron St., Chicago, Illinois 60654. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

Communications from Stockholders

The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders and will respond if and as appropriate. Our Corporate Secretary is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and for providing copies or summaries to the directors as he considers appropriate.

Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Corporate Secretary and Co-Chairmen of the Board consider to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications. Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board of Directors in writing: c/o Corporate Secretary, GoHealth, Inc., 214 West Huron St., Chicago, Illinois 60654.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board of Directors with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of our Company. Currently, the roles are separate, with Clinton Jones and Brandon Cruz serving as Co-Chairmen of the Board and Vijay Kotte serving as Chief Executive Officer. The current separation allows Mr. Kotte to focus his time and energy on operating and managing the Company and allows him to leverage the valuable experience of Mr. Jones and Mr. Cruz and their perspectives as Co-Chairman.

However, our Board of Directors will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that whenever our Chairperson or Co-Chairman of the Board is also a member of management or is a director that does not otherwise qualify as an independent director, the independent directors may elect a lead director whose responsibilities include presiding over all meetings of the Board at which the Chairperson or Co-Chairman is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors; approving meeting schedules and agendas; and acting as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chairperson or Co-Chairman of the Board, as appropriate. The full list of responsibilities of our lead director may be found in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Currently, because our Co-Chairmen of the Board are not independent, the independent directors have elected Joseph Flanagan as our lead director.

Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board of Directors encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused discussion and analysis of the risks we face. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with the Board of Directors at regular Board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks. Our Board of Directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board of Directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board of Directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including business continuity risks, such as risks relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, and our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our major financial and cybersecurity risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with legal and regulatory requirements and considers and approves or disapproves any related person transactions. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of the Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. The Board does not believe that its role in the oversight of our risks affects the Board’s leadership structure.

Both the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee provide oversight of certain risks associated with environmental and social matters. The Audit Committee provides oversight of the Company’s compliance and corporate environmental, health and safety functions. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the Company’s corporate social responsibility efforts and progress.

Code of Ethics

We have a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We have posted a current copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our investor relations website, investors.gohealth.com, in the “Governance” section under “Documents & Charters.” In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or the rules of Nasdaq concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The policy prohibits our directors, officers and employees and any entities they control from purchasing financial instruments such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities, or that may cause an officer, director, or employee to no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other stockholders.

Attendance by Members of the Board of Directors at Meetings

There were ten meetings of the Board of Directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) all meetings of the Board of Directors and (ii) all meetings of the committees on which the director served during the period in which he or she served as a director.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which is available on our investor relations website at investors.gohealth.com, a director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge his or her responsibilities. Accordingly, a director is expected to regularly prepare for and attend meetings of the Board and all committees on which the director sits (including separate meetings of the independent directors), with the understanding that, on occasion, a director may be unable to attend a meeting. A director who is unable to attend a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board is expected to notify the Chairperson or Co-Chairs of the Board or the Chairperson of the appropriate committee in advance of such meeting, and, whenever possible, participate in such meeting via teleconference in the case of an in-person meeting. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting; however, it is expected that absent compelling circumstances directors will attend. All then-serving directors attended the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

In 2020, in connection with preparation for our IPO, the Company retained Pearl Meyer to provide guidance in establishing our executive compensation program as a public company. Pearl Meyer continues to be retained by the Committee and to consult with our Company regarding various aspects of executive and director compensation, including with respect to our long-term incentive program.

The Compensation Committee may delegate its authority under its charter to one or more subcommittees as it deems appropriate from time to time.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OVERVIEW

This section discusses the compensation arrangements for our executive officers who are named in the “2022 Summary Compensation Table” below. As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and have elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to “smaller reporting companies.”

For the year ended December 31, 2022, our “named executive officers” (or “NEOs”) and their positions were as follows:

•	Vijay Kotte, Chief Executive Officer*

•	Jason Schulz, Chief Financial Officer

•	Shane Cruz, Chief Strategy Officer

•	Clinton Jones, former Chief Executive Officer and current Co-Chairman of the Board*

*	On June 3, 2022, the Board appointed Vijay Kotte as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Clint Jones transitioned from Chief Executive Officer to Co-Chairman of the Board.

This discussion describes our executive compensation program for our NEOs for fiscal year 2022.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Compensation Committee oversees the compensation program for our executive officers, including our NEOs. Our executive compensation program is based on a pay for performance philosophy and is designed to balance the following objectives:

•	Attract, engage, motivate, retain and appropriately reward executives for their contributions to our business, our customers, our partners and our stockholders

•	Closely align executive interests and rewards with the interests of our stockholders

•	Drive the achievement of the Company’s purpose, mission, values and strategy

•	Provide competitive compensation compared to the external market

Elements of Compensation

In order to support the achievement of our compensation objectives, the Compensation Committee has included the following elements in its compensation package for NEOs:

•	Base Salary

•	Annual Cash Incentive

•	Long-Term Equity Grant

•

Benefits

•	Perquisites

Base Salary

The NEOs receive a base salary to compensate for services rendered to the Company. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. Base salaries for Clinton Jones and Shane Cruz were increased 20% and 12.5%, respectively, to acknowledge the change in roles and experience of such individuals as they changed roles within the Company. The base salary for each of Mr. Kotte and Mr. Schulz was established at the time each executive joined the Company based on the Company’s historical compensation practices and competitive market data, with input from the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant. Please see the “Salary” column in the 2022 Summary Compensation Table for the base salary amounts earned by each NEO in 2022.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2022 Bonuses

The Company provides annual incentive cash bonuses, which we refer to as “Annual Bonuses,” to its NEOs under its 2022 Executive Compensation and Bonus Plan, which we refer to as the “Annual Bonus Plan.” Company targets were established by the Board during the first quarter of the fiscal year based upon the Company’s 2022 annual operating plan. However, upon the appointment of Mr. Kotte and Mr. Schulz to their respective roles in June 2022, the Compensation Committee, after discussing with the full Board, revised the targets to align with the priorities of the new executive team. The targets were designed to be challenging but achievable with strong performance. The Annual Bonus Plan is structured to compensate NEOs (and employees generally) for achievement of Company objectives. In the event the Company does not achieve its pre-established targets, the payout is reduced. If the Company exceeds its targets, payouts increase with a maximum payout of 200% of target. This structure aligns with the Company’s pay for performance compensation philosophy.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, each NEO’s Annual Bonus was based on three metrics: (1) the Company’s cash flow from operations, with a 50% weighting, (2) cost to acquire an effectuated policy, with a 25% weighting, and (3) Encompass Connect sales as a percentage of overall fourth quarter sales for 2022, with the remaining 25% weighting. The payout uses a performance scale for each of the three components, ranging from 0% to 200%.

•

Cash flow from operations. The target for cash flow from operations was negative $30 million, which would result in 100% payout of target for this component. If cash flow from operations was below negative $50 million, no payout would be made; if cash flow from operations was $0 or above, payout would be 200%. The actual cash flow from operations for 2022 was $62 million resulting in a payout of 200% for this metric.

•

Cost to acquire an effectuated policy. For the cost to acquire an effectuated policy, the target for 2022 was $737, in line with the operating plan, and would result in a 100% payout of target for this component. If the cost was more than $810, there would be a 0% payout. If the cost was at or below $597, payout would be 200%. The actual cost to acquire an effectuated policy for 2022 was $657, resulting in a 140% payout for this metric.

•

Encompass sales as a percentage of overall fourth quarter sales. The target Encompass Connect sales as a percentage of overall fourth quarter sales for 2022 was 35%, in line with the annual operating plan, and would result in a 100% payout of target for this component. If the percentage fell below 25%, payout for this component would be 0% and if the percentage was above 45%, payout for this component would be 200%. The actual Encompass Connect as percentage of fourth quarter sales for 2022 was 48%, resulting in a 200% payout for this metric.

The target Annual Bonus amounts for the NEOs were: Clint Jones - $175,000, Vijay Kotte - $900,000, Jason Schulz - $400,000, and Shane Cruz - $400,000. Annual Bonuses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 were determined to be 186% of target, based upon the metrics and results listed above. In addition, per the terms of the Jones A&R Employment Agreement (as described below), Mr. Jones received 200% of his annual bonus for 2022. The amounts of the Annual Bonuses for the year ended December 31, 2022 are reflected in the 2022 Summary Compensation Table.

Share-Based Compensation

Amended and Restated 2020 Incentive Award Plan

In November 2022, the Company undertook a reverse stock split of 1:15. All numbers described below regarding share grants are adjusted to reflect the share amounts following such reverse stock split.

The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) in order to facilitate the grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees (including our NEOs) and consultants of our Company and certain of its affiliates and to enable our Company and certain of its affiliates to obtain and retain services of these individuals, which we believe is essential to our long-term success. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved under the Plan is (i) 1,115,531 shares of our common stock, plus (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each year ending in and including 2030, equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of the outstanding shares of all classes of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such lesser amount as determined by our Board of Directors. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock

TABLE OF CONTENTS

options and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, SARs, and cash awards. Vesting conditions applicable to awards granted under the Plan may be based on continuing service, the attainment of performance goals and/or such other conditions as the plan administrator may determine.

The Company provides annual equity grants to its NEOs. Generally, grants include a mix of time-based grants and performance-based grants, either in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or stock options. These grants are intended to align the executive team compensation with the interests of stockholders and to encourage good, long-term decision making. Vesting of such equity grants are conditioned upon remaining employed with the Company with some limited exceptions provided in each individual NEOs employment agreement.

Upon his hiring as CEO, Mr. Kotte received (1) 188,888 stock options, vesting in four equal annual installments on the anniversaries of the grant date, (2) 377,777 shares of common stock as fully vested RSUs, and (3) 94,444 shares of common stock in the form of performance-based restricted stock units vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date with the payout percentage being based on the volume weighted average price performance (“VWAP”) over such three-year period. The payout will be (i) 50% if the Three Year VWAP is equal to or greater than $30.00 but less than $45.00; (ii) 100% if the Three Year VWAP is equal to or greater than $45.00 but less than $60.00; (iii) 150% if the Three Year VWAP is equal to or greater than $60.00 but less than $90.00; and (iv) 200% if the Three Year VWAP is equal to or greater than $90.00.

Upon his hiring as CFO, Mr. Schulz received (1) 66,666 stock options, vesting in four equal annual installments on the anniversaries of the grant date, (2) 133,333 shares of common stock as fully vested RSUs, and (3) 100,000 shares of common stock in the form of performance-based restricted stock units vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date with the payout percentage being based on the VWAP over such three-year period. The payout will be (i) 50% if the Three Year VWAP is equal to or greater than $30.00 but less than $45.00; (ii) 100% if the Three Year VWAP is equal to or greater than $45.00 but less than $60.00; (iii) 150% if the Three Year VWAP is equal to or greater than $60.00 but less than $90.00; and (iv) 200% if the Three Year VWAP is equal to or greater than $90.00.

In connection with his transition from CEO to Executive Co-Chairman of the Board, Mr. Jones received a stock appreciation right valued at $1,500,000 which shall vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and be settled in cash. Mr. Jones received no other equity grants in 2022. For the 2022 fiscal year, Mr. Cruz received two equity grants that included 114,285 and 53,333 time-based RSUs, each which vest in three equal annual installments with the first installment for both grants vesting on April 25, 2023.

In April 2022, the Board approved a repricing of stock options outstanding at such time for all employees but excluding certain executive officers. Mr. Cruz’s stock options were included in the repricing. Mr. Jones’ stock options were not included in the repricing and Mr. Kotte and Mr. Schulz were not employed by the Company at such time. At the time, Mr. Cruz had 5,173 outstanding stock options and the exercise price was adjusted from $14.81 to $1.05, the closing stock price on the date of the repricing, and then further adjusted to $15.75 as a result of the reverse stock split.

Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Plans

We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements, under which eligible employees may defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. Currently, we match 50% of contributions made by participants in the 401(k) plan up to 4% of participant compensation (for a maximum match of 2% of participant compensation), and these matching contributions vest in equal annual installments over four years. We also may make non-elective contributions to the 401(k) plan, which, if made, vest 20% after two years and 20% annually thereafter. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) plan, and making matching and non-elective contributions, adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our NEOs, in accordance with our compensation objectives.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(3)	Equity valuation assumptions for calculating Compensation Actually Paid are not materially different from grant date valuation assumptions, with the exception of stock options.

(4)	The following summarizes the valuation assumptions used for stock option awards included as part of Compensation Actually Paid:

- Expected life of each stock option is based on the “simplified method” using an average of the remaining vest and remaining term, as of the vest/FYE date.

- Strike price is based on each grant date closing price and asset price is based on each vest/FYE closing price.

- Risk free rate is based on the Treasury Constant Maturity rate closest to the remaining expected life as of the vest/FYE date.

- With limited historical stock price information, volatility is based on all available daily price history prior to each vest/FYE date. Closing prices provided by S&P Capital IQ are adjusted for dividends and splits.

- Represents annual dividend yield on each vest/FYE date.

(5)	All performance-based RSUs remain unvested and assume a probable outcome of 0% at each FYE.

(6)	Non-CEO NEOs reflect the average Summary Compensation Table total compensation and average Compensation Actually Paid for the following executives by year:

2022: Shane Cruz, Jason Schulz

2021: Brandon Cruz, James Sharman, Travis Matthiesen, Vance Johnston, Brian Farley

(7)	Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2020. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

Relationship Between Pay and Performance

We believe the “Compensation Actually Paid” in each of the years reported above and over the two-year cumulative period are reflective of the Compensation Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” as the “Compensation Actually Paid” fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due to the result of our stock performance and our varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our Annual Program and our share-based compensation programs.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to holdings of our common stock by (i) stockholders who beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock, and (ii) each of our directors (which includes all nominees), each of our NEOs and all directors and executive officers as a group as of March 28, 2023, unless otherwise indicated.

As described in “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions,” each LLC Interest (other than LLC Interests held by us) is redeemable from time to time at each holder’s option (subject in certain circumstances to time-based vesting requirements) for, at our election (determined solely by at least two or more of our independent directors (within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules) who are disinterested), shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, or to the extent there is cash available from a secondary offering, a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each LLC Interest so redeemed, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement; provided that, at our election (determined solely by at least two or more of our independent directors (within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules) who are disinterested), we may effect a direct exchange of such Class A common stock or such cash, as applicable, for such LLC Interests.

The Continuing Equity Owners may, subject to certain exceptions, exercise such redemption right for as long as their LLC Interests remain outstanding. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement.” In connection with our IPO, we issued to each Continuing Equity Owner, for nominal consideration, one share of Class B common stock for each LLC Interest such Continuing Equity Owner owned. As a result, the number of shares of Class B common stock listed in the table below correlates to the number of LLC Interests Centerbridge and our Founders own as of March 28, 2023.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder as described in this proxy statement is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power. The percentage ownership of each individual or entity as of March 28, 2023 is computed on the basis of 50,000 shares of Series A preferred stock (convertible into 5,306,613 shares of Class A common stock), 8,982,096 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding and 13,053,374 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by an individual or entity and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options, or other rights, including the redemption right described above with respect to each LLC Interest, held by such person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of March 28, 2023, are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed below is 214 West Huron St., Chicago, Illinois 60654. We believe, based on information provided to us, that each of the stockholders listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the stockholder unless noted otherwise, subject to community property laws where applicable.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written Related Person Transaction Policy, setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. Under the policy, our legal department is primarily responsible for developing and implementing processes and procedures to obtain information regarding related persons with respect to potential related person transactions and then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether such potential related person transactions do, in fact, constitute related person transactions requiring compliance with the policy. In addition, any potential related person transaction that is proposed to be entered into by the Company must be reported to the Chief Legal Officer by both the related person and the person at the Company responsible for such potential related person transaction. If our legal department determines that a transaction or relationship is a related person transaction requiring compliance with the policy, our Chief Legal Officer is required to present to the Audit Committee all relevant facts and circumstances relating to the related person transaction. Our Audit Committee must review the relevant facts and circumstances of each related person transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, take into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and either approve or disapprove the related person transaction. If advance Audit Committee approval of a related person transaction requiring the Audit Committee’s approval is not feasible, then the transaction may be preliminarily entered into by management upon prior approval of the transaction by the chair of the Audit Committee subject to ratification of the transaction by the Audit Committee at the Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, that if ratification is not forthcoming, management will make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul the transaction. If a transaction was not initially recognized as a related person transaction, then upon such recognition the transaction will be presented to the Audit Committee for ratification at the Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, that if ratification is not forthcoming, management will make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul the transaction. Our management will update the Audit Committee as to any material changes to any approved or ratified related person transaction and will provide a status report at least annually of all then current related person transactions. No director may participate in approval of a related person transaction for which he or she is a related person.

The following are certain current transactions, arrangements and relationships with our directors, executive officers and stockholders owning 5% or more of our outstanding common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other arrangements, which are described under “Executive and Director Compensation.”

Related Party Agreements

Agreements Involving our Founders

We have entered into various lease agreements (as amended and restated, the “RPT Leases”) with Wilson Tech 5, LLC, 214 W Huron LLC, 220 W Huron Street Holdings LLC and 215 W Superior LLC, each of which are controlled by our Founders, to lease our corporate offices at 214 West Huron Street, Chicago, Illinois, 220 West Huron Street, Chicago, Illinois, 215 West Superior Street, Chicago, Illinois, and a site in Lindon, Utah. Our lease agreement with Wilson Tech 5, LLC expires ten years after the May 12, 2020 commencement date; our lease agreement with 214 W Huron LLC expires on July 31, 2024; our lease agreements with 220 W Huron Street Holdings LLC expire on May 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024; and our lease agreement with 215 W Superior LLC expires on December 31, 2030. In addition to the lease payments, we are also required to pay operating expenses, maintenance and utilities under the terms of the RPT Leases. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we made aggregate lease payments of $3.9 million under the RPT Leases. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we made aggregate lease payments of $1.3 million under the RPT Leases. Assuming none of the RPT Leases are terminated early, the remaining amounts due under the RPT Leases in aggregate is expected to be $52.5 million.

On January 1, 2020, we entered into a non-exclusive aircraft dry lease agreement with N157BC, LLC, an entity wholly-owned and controlled by our Founders, which we amended and restated on May 29, 2020. The agreement allows us to use an aircraft owned by N157BC, LLC for our business and on an as-needed basis.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The agreement has no set term and is terminable without cause by either party upon 30 days’ prior written notice. Under the agreement, we are required to pay $6,036.94 per flight hour for use of the aircraft. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we made payments totaling $622,000 under this agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we made payments totaling $1,157,000 under this agreement.

On March 2, 2018, we entered into an agreement with Rank Me Media, LLC, an entity wholly-owned and controlled by Patrick Cruz, brother to each of Brandon M. Cruz, our Co-Chairman of the Board, and Shane E. Cruz, our Chief Strategy Officer, to provide search engine optimization consulting services. This agreement had an initial term of six months and after the expiration of such period, automatically renews one month each month unless terminated by either party with a 30-day prior written notice. Under the agreement, we are required to pay a monthly flat fee retainer of $6,000 per month. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we made payments totaling $72,000 under this agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we made payments totaling $66,000 under this agreement.

Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc., an owner of our Series A Preferred Stock (see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elevance Health, Inc. (“Elevance”). Elevance is the owner of health plan partners with which we enter into contractual agency relationships. Our health plan partners are responsible for paying our commissions and, for these purposes, act as our customers. Health plans owned by Elevance accounted for approximately $142.9 million or 23% of our net revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and approximately $238.4 million or 22% of our net revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Tax Receivable Agreement

On July 15, 2020, we entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement with GoHealth Holdings, LLC, Continuing Equity Owners and the Blocker Shareholders that provides for the payment by GoHealth, Inc. to the Continuing Equity Owners and the Blocker Shareholders of 85% of the amount of certain tax benefits, if any, that GoHealth, Inc. actually realizes, or in some circumstances is deemed to realize as a result of the transactions described above, including the acquisition of GoHealth, Inc.’s allocable share of the existing tax basis in GoHealth Holdings, LLC’s assets in connection with the Transactions (including the Blocker Company’s share of existing tax basis), increases to such allocable share of existing tax basis, the Basis Adjustments and certain other tax benefits arising from payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. GoHealth Holdings, LLC will have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Code effective for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange (including deemed exchange and including for this purpose the purchase of LLC Interests directly from certain Continuing Equity Owners described above) of LLC Interests for Class A common stock or cash occurs or when GoHealth Holdings, LLC makes (or is deemed to make) certain distributions. These Tax Receivable Agreement payments are not conditioned upon one or more of the Continuing Equity Owners maintaining a continued ownership interest in GoHealth Holdings, LLC. If a Continuing Equity Owner transfers LLC Interests but does not assign to the transferee of such units its rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, such Continuing Equity Owner generally will continue to be entitled to receive payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement arising in respect of a subsequent exchange of such LLC Interests. In general, the Continuing Equity Owners’ and Blocker Shareholders’ rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement may not be assigned, sold, pledged or otherwise alienated to any person, other than certain permitted transferees, without such person becoming a party to the Tax Receivable Agreement and agreeing to succeed to the applicable Continuing Equity Owner’s or Blocker Shareholders’ interest therein. As of December 31, 2022, there were payments in the amount of approximately $550,000 due to the Continuing Equity Owners under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement

On July 15, 2020, we and the Continuing Equity Owners entered into GoHealth Holdings, LLC’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement”).

•

Appointment as Managing Member. Under the GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement, we became a member and the sole manager of GoHealth Holdings, LLC. As the sole manager, we are able to control all of the day-to-day business affairs and decision-making of GoHealth Holdings, LLC without the approval of any other member. As such, we, through our officers and directors, are responsible for all operational and administrative decisions of GoHealth Holdings, LLC and daily management of GoHealth Holdings, LLC’s business. Pursuant to the terms of the GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

we cannot be removed or replaced as the sole manager of GoHealth Holdings, LLC except by our resignation, which may be given at any time by written notice to the members.

•

Compensation, Fees and Expenses. We are not entitled to compensation for our services as the manager of GoHealth Holdings, LLC. We are entitled to reimbursement by GoHealth Holdings, LLC for reasonable fees and expenses incurred on behalf of GoHealth Holdings, LLC, including all expenses associated with the Transactions, any subsequent offering of our Class A common stock, being a public company and maintaining our corporate existence.

•

Distributions. The GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement requires “tax distributions,” as that term is used in the agreement, to be made by GoHealth Holdings, LLC to its members on a pro rata basis, except to the extent such distributions would render GoHealth Holdings, LLC insolvent or are otherwise prohibited by law, our Credit Facilities or any of our future debt agreements. Tax distributions will be made on a quarterly basis, to each member of GoHealth Holdings, LLC, including us, based on such member’s allocable share of the taxable income of GoHealth Holdings, LLC and an assumed tax rate that will be determined by us, as described below. For this purpose, GoHealth, Inc.’s allocable share of GoHealth Holdings, LLC’s taxable income shall be net of its share of taxable losses of GoHealth Holdings, LLC and shall be determined without regard to any Basis Adjustments (as described above under “—Tax Receivable Agreement”). The assumed tax rate for purposes of determining tax distributions from GoHealth Holdings, LLC to its members will be the highest combined federal, state, and local tax rate that may potentially apply to any one of GoHealth Holdings, LLC’s members, regardless of the actual final tax liability of any such member. During 2020, we made tax distributions to certain executive officers to account for delinquent tax distributions related to taxable income allocated to such persons for 2020. The GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement also allows for cash distributions to be made by GoHealth Holdings, LLC (subject to our sole discretion as the sole manager of GoHealth Holdings, LLC) to its members on a pro rata basis out of “distributable cash,” as that term is defined in the agreement. We expect GoHealth Holdings, LLC may make distributions out of distributable cash periodically and as necessary to enable us to cover our operating expenses and other obligations, including our tax liability and obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, except to the extent such distributions would render GoHealth Holdings, LLC insolvent or are otherwise prohibited by law, our Credit Facilities or any of our future debt agreements.

•

Transfer Restrictions. The GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement generally does not permit transfers of LLC Interests by members, except for transfers to permitted transferees, transfers pursuant to the participation right described below and other limited exceptions. The GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement may impose additional restrictions on transfers (including redemptions described below with respect to each common unit) that are necessary or advisable so that GoHealth Holdings, LLC is not treated as a “publicly-traded partnership” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the event of a permitted transfer under the GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement, such member will be required to simultaneously transfer shares of Class B common stock to such transferee equal to the number of LLC Interests that were transferred to such transferee in such permitted transfer.

The GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement provides a redemption right to the Continuing Equity Owners which entitles them to have their LLC Interests redeemed (subject in certain circumstances to time-based vesting requirements) for, at our election (determined by at least two of our independent directors (within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules) who are disinterested), newly-issued shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, or to the extent there is cash available from a secondary offering, a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each LLC interest so redeemed, in each case in accordance with the terms of the GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement; provided that, at our election (determined by at least two of our independent directors (within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules) who are disinterested), we may effect a direct exchange by GoHealth, Inc. of such Class A common stock or such cash, as applicable, for such LLC Interests. The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise such redemption right, subject to certain exceptions, for as long as their LLC Interests remain outstanding. In connection with the exercise of the redemption or exchange of LLC Interests (1) the Continuing Equity Owners will be required to surrender a number of shares of our Class B common stock registered in the name of such redeeming or exchanging Continuing Equity Owner, and therefore, will be transferred to the Company and will be canceled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of LLC Interests so redeemed or exchanged and (2) all redeeming members will surrender LLC Interests to GoHealth Holdings, LLC for cancellation.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is March 28, 2023. You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on that date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share of Series A preferred stock is entitled to vote with Class A common shares on an as-converted basis subject to the voting caps as described further in the Certificate of Designations. Each outstanding share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is entitled to one vote for all matters before the Annual Meeting. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, subject to the GoHealth Holdings, LLC Agreement, vote together as a single class on any matter (including the election of directors and the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm) that is submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by law or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 50,000 Series A preferred shares (convertible into 3,872,513 voting shares), 8,982,096 shares of Class A common stock and 13,053,374 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The Class A shares, on an as-converted basis represent 49.6% of voting power of our common stock and Class B shares represent 50.3%.

What is the difference between being a “record holder” and holding shares in “street name”?

A record holder holds shares in his or her name. Shares held in “street name” means shares that are held in the name of a bank or broker on a person’s behalf.

Am I entitled to vote if my shares are held in “street name”?

Yes. If your shares are held by a bank or a brokerage firm, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm, along with a voting instruction card if you received printed copies of our proxy materials. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares, and the bank or brokerage firm is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you would like to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your broker or other nominee to obtain your 16-digit control number or otherwise vote through the broker or other nominee.

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Annual Meeting online or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of voting power of the common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum.

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

GoHealth will hold the Annual Meeting virtually this year. You may attend and participate in the Annual Meeting by visiting the following website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GOCO2023. To attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included in your Internet Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. If your shares are held in “street name,” you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 16-digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker. If you lose your 16-digit control number, you may join the Annual Meeting as a “Guest” but you will not be able to vote, ask questions or access the list of stockholders as of the Record Date. The meeting webcast will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (9:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time). We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 9:55 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time (8:55 a.m. Central Daylight Time), and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

What if a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting?

If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, the Chairperson of the Annual Meeting is authorized by our Amended and Restated Bylaws to adjourn the Annual Meeting, without the vote of stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What does it mean if I receive more than one Internet Notice or more than one set of proxy materials?

It means that your shares are held in more than one account at the transfer agent and/or with banks or brokers. Please vote all of your shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each Internet Notice or set of proxy materials, please submit your proxy by phone, via the Internet, or, if you received printed copies of the proxy materials, by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope.

How do I vote?

•	by Internet before the Annual Meeting—You can vote over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions on the Internet Notice or proxy card;

Internet and telephone voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time (10:59 p.m. Central Daylight Time), on May 22, 2023. To participate in the Annual Meeting, including to vote via the Internet or telephone, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your Internet Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.

Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting online, we urge you to vote your shares as promptly as possible to ensure your representation and the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If you submit your proxy, you may still decide to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares electronically during the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in “Street Name.” If your shares are held in “street name” through a bank or broker, you will receive instructions on how to vote from the bank or broker. You must follow their instructions in order for your shares to be voted. Internet and telephone voting also may be offered to stockholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you would like to vote your shares online at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 16-digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker. If you lose your 16-digit control number, you may join the Annual Meeting as a “Guest” but you will not be able to vote, ask questions or access the list of stockholders as of the Record Date. You will need to obtain your own Internet access if you choose to attend the Annual Meeting online and/or vote over the Internet.

Can I change my vote after I submit my proxy?

Yes. If you are a registered stockholder, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote any time before it is voted:

•	by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date;

•	by granting a subsequent proxy through the Internet or telephone;

•	by giving written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of GoHealth prior to the Annual Meeting; or

•	by voting online at the Annual Meeting.

Your most recent proxy card or Internet or telephone proxy is the one that is counted. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary before your proxy is voted or you vote online at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in street name, you may change or revoke your voting instructions by following the specific directions provided to you by your bank or broker, or you may vote online at the Annual Meeting using your 16-digit control number of otherwise voting through your bank or broker.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Who will count the votes?

A representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., our inspector of election, will tabulate and certify the votes.

What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ recommendations are indicated on page 2 of this proxy statement, as well as with the description of each proposal in this proxy statement.

Will any other business be conducted at the Annual Meeting?

Why hold a virtual meeting?

A virtual meeting enables increased stockholder attendance and participation because stockholders can participate from any location around the world. It also helps to keep everyone safe and healthy.

You also will be able to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions above.

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting website, and the information for assistance will be located on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GOCO2023.

Will there be a question and answer session during the Annual Meeting?

As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer questions submitted online during or prior to the Annual Meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the Annual Meeting matters, as time permits. Only stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “Who can attend the Annual Meeting?” will be permitted to submit questions during the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are, among other things:

•	irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Annual Meeting;

•	related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since our last Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q;

•	related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation;

•	related to personal grievances;

•	derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise in bad taste;

•	substantially repetitious of questions already made by another stockholder;

•	in excess of the two question limit;

•	in furtherance of the stockholder’s personal or business interests; or

•	out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting as determined by the Chair or Secretary in their reasonable judgment.

Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the “Rules of Conduct” available on the Annual Meeting webpage for stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “Who can attend the Annual Meeting?”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How many votes are required for the approval of the proposals to be voted upon and how will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?

What is a “vote withheld” and an “abstention” and how will votes withheld and abstentions be treated?

A “vote withheld,” in the case of the proposal regarding the election of directors, or an “abstention,” in the case of the proposal regarding the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and Say-on-Pay Vote, represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Votes withheld and abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Votes withheld have no effect on the election of directors. Abstentions have no effect on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP or the Say-on-Pay Vote.

What are broker non-votes and do they count for determining a quorum?

Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors or Say-on-Pay Vote. Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we intend to file with the SEC after the Annual Meeting.
