Legal Proceedings

In September 2020, three purported securities class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and certain underwriters, private equity firms, and investment vehicles alleging that the Registration Statement filed in connection with the IPO was negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact, omitted material facts necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, and failed to make necessary disclosures required under the rules and regulations governing its preparation, including the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Class Action”). Compensatory damages and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the Securities Class Action were sought by the lead plaintiffs. On December 10, 2020, the court in the earliest filed action consolidated the three complaints, appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel for the consolidated action, and captioned the consolidated action “In re GoHealth, Inc. Securities Litigation.” On February 25, 2021, lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint. On April 26, 2021, the Company and officer and director defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On April 5, 2022, that motion was denied. On May 31, 2022, the Company and officer and director defendants filed an answer to the consolidated complaint and, on June 21, 2022, they filed an amended answer. September 23, 2022 is lead plaintiffs’ current deadline to file a motion for class certification. The court has not yet set a trial date.

On May 19, 2021, a derivative action (the “Derivative Action”) was filed, purportedly on behalf of the Company and against certain of the Company’s officers and directors, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and other claims, based on substantially the same factual allegations as in the Securities Class Action. On June 6, 2022, the Derivative Action was stayed pursuant to the parties’ stipulation.

The Company disputes each claim in the above referenced matters and intends to defend the pending actions noted above.The ultimate outcome of any damages that may become payable if its defense is unsuccessful in whole or in part is not probable nor estimable at this time. While GoHealth feels confident in its defense of these pending matters, there can be no assurance that it will prevail and that any damages that may be awarded will not be material to the results of operations or financial condition of GoHealth.
