To Our Stockholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders of Hyperfine, Inc. to be held at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on Tuesday, June 11, 2024. This will be my third year participating in the annual meeting of stockholders and the second since becoming President and Chief Executive Officer in October 2022. I am pleased with the significant progress we have made since last year’s annual meeting of stockholders, which includes the following:

• Innovation. We continued to advance the field of ultra-low field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance and successfully launched two AI-powered software upgrades to improve Swoop^® system image quality and ease of use, and received multiple certifications in the European Union (CE) and the United Kingdom (UKCA) as well as other international approvals.

• Clinical Evidence. We saw a large number of publications and presentations on the clinical value of our Swoop^® system in major journals and neurology and imaging meetings. We have also launched the acute ischemic stroke program with the initiation of the ACTION PMR (ACuTe Ischemic strOke detectioN) observational study and have initiated an Alzheimer’s disease program including a utility study using the Swoop^® system to scan patients on recently approved Amyloid Targeting Therapy.

• Commercial Expansion. We continued to drive Swoop^® system sales as well as the development of reference sites. The Swoop^® system is now in use at several US flagship medical institutions. Further, our Swoop^® system implementation programs run by our clinical support team are yielding strong user advocates and champions across different departments inside the hospital setting.

• Financial Transformation. We have posted strong revenue growth, gross margin improvement, and cash burn reduction. We have exercised strong spending discipline without compromising investments in our three strategic pillars: Innovation, Clinical Evidence and Commercialization. We have executed our financial plans to extend our cash runway.

This year’s annual meeting will be conducted solely via live audio webcast on the Internet. You will not be able to attend the annual meeting in person. You will be able to attend the annual meeting, vote and submit your questions during the annual meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYPR2024. We encourage you to vote by proxy soon so that your shares will be represented and voted at the meeting, whether or not you can attend.

Details regarding the meeting, the business to be conducted at the meeting, and information about Hyperfine, Inc. that you should consider when you vote your shares are described in the accompanying proxy statement. At the annual meeting, six persons will be elected to our board of directors. In addition, we will ask stockholders to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and to approve a proposed amendment (the “Sunset Amendment”) to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, to add a provision with respect to the automatic conversion of our Class B common stock effective December 22, 2028, which is seven years from the date of the closing of our business combination by and among Hyperfine, Inc. (HealthCor Catalio Acquisition Corp.), Optimus Merger Sub I, Inc., Optimus Merger Sub II, Inc., Hyperfine Operations, Inc. (formerly Hyperfine, Inc.) and Liminal Sciences, Inc. Our board of directors recommends the approval of each of these proposals. Such other business will be transacted as may properly come before the annual meeting.

Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow companies to furnish proxy materials to stockholders over the Internet, we have elected to deliver our proxy materials to the majority of our stockholders

over the Internet. This delivery process allows us to provide stockholders with the information they need, while at the same time conserving natural resources and lowering the cost of delivery. On April 26, 2024, we intend to begin sending to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Internet Availability Notice”) containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement for our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and our 2023 annual report to stockholders. The Internet Availability Notice also provides instructions on how to vote online or by telephone, how to access the virtual annual meeting, and how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.

We hope you will be able to participate in the annual meeting. Whether you plan to join the annual meeting or not, it is important that you cast your vote either virtually at the annual meeting or, by proxy. You may vote over the Internet as well as by telephone or by mail. We encourage you to vote by proxy so that your shares will be represented and voted at the meeting, whether you can attend or not.

Thank you for your continued support of Hyperfine, Inc.

Sincerely,

Maria Sainz

President and Chief Executive Officer

PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE HYPERFINE, INC.

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JUNE 11, 2024

This proxy statement, along with the accompanying notice of 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, contains information about the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders of Hyperfine, Inc., including any adjournments or postponements of the annual meeting. We are holding the annual meeting at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on Tuesday, June 11, 2024. Since hosting a virtual annual meeting enables greater stockholder attendance and participation from any location around the world, improves meeting efficiency and our ability to communicate effectively with our stockholders, and reduces the cost and environmental impact of our annual meeting, this year’s annual meeting will be conducted solely via live audio webcast on the Internet. You will be able to attend the annual meeting, vote and submit your questions during the annual meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYPR2024. You will not be able to attend the annual meeting in person.

In this proxy statement, we refer to Hyperfine, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as “Hyperfine,” the “Company,” “we” and “us.”

This proxy statement relates to the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the annual meeting.

On or about April 26, 2024, we intend to begin sending to our stockholders the Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement for our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and our 2023 annual report to stockholders.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE

STOCKHOLDER MEETING TO BE HELD ON JUNE 11, 2024

This proxy statement, the notice of 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, our form of proxy card and our 2023 annual report to stockholders are available for viewing, printing and downloading at www.proxyvote.com. To view these materials please have your 16-digit control number(s) available that appears on your Internet Availability Notice or proxy card. On this website, you can also elect to receive future distributions of our proxy statements and annual reports to stockholders by electronic delivery.

Additionally, you can find a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at www.sec.gov, or in the “SEC Filings” section of the “Investors” section of our website at www.hyperfine.io. You may also obtain a printed copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our financial statements, free of charge, from us by sending a written request to: Hyperfine, Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, 351 New Whitfield Street, Guilford, Connecticut 06437. Exhibits will be provided upon written request and payment of an appropriate processing fee.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement, including the letter to stockholders included at the beginning of this proxy statement, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements concern, among other things, expectations about the Company’s financial and operating results, the Company’s commercial plans, the benefits of the Company’s products and services, and the Company’s future performance and its ability to implement its strategy. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are based on the current estimates and assumptions of the management of the Company as of the date of the proxy statement and are subject to uncertainty and changes. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our periodic and current reports. All information in this proxy statement, including the letter to stockholders, is as of the date of this proxy statement, and the Company undertakes no duty to update this information unless required by law.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

Why is the Company Soliciting My Proxy?

Our board of directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders to be held virtually, on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, and any adjournments or postponements of the meeting, which we refer to as the annual meeting. This proxy statement, along with the accompanying notice of 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, summarizes the purposes of the meeting and the information you need to know to vote at the annual meeting.

We have made available to you on the Internet or have sent you this proxy statement, the notice of 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, the proxy card and a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 because you owned shares of our Class A common stock or Class B common stock (together, the “common stock”) on the record date. We intend to commence distribution of the Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials, which we refer to throughout this proxy statement as the Internet Availability Notice, and, if applicable, proxy materials to stockholders on or about April 26, 2024.

Why Did I Receive a Notice in the Mail Regarding the Internet Availability of Proxy Materials Instead of a Full Set of Proxy Materials?

As permitted by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we may furnish our proxy materials to our stockholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet, rather than mailing printed copies of these materials to each stockholder. Most stockholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. We believe that this process should expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lower the costs of the annual meeting and help to conserve natural resources. If you received the Internet Availability Notice by mail or electronically, you will not receive a printed or email copy of the proxy materials, unless you request one by following the instructions included in the Internet Availability Notice. Instead, the Internet Availability Notice instructs you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials and submit your proxy on the Internet. If you requested a paper copy of the proxy materials, you may authorize the voting of your shares by following the instructions on the proxy card, in addition to the other methods of voting described in this proxy statement.

Why Are You Holding a Virtual Annual Meeting?

Since hosting a virtual annual meeting enables greater stockholder attendance and participation from any location around the world, improves meeting efficiency and our ability to communicate effectively with our stockholders, and reduces the cost and environmental impact of our annual meeting, this year’s annual meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. We have designed our virtual format to enhance, rather than constrain, stockholder access, participation and communication. For example, the virtual format allows stockholders to communicate with us in advance of, and during, the annual meeting so they can ask questions of our board of directors or management, as time permits.

How do I Access the Virtual Annual Meeting?

The live audio webcast of the virtual annual meeting will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. Online access to the audio webcast will open 15 minutes prior to the start of the annual meeting to allow time for you to log in and test your device’s audio system. The virtual annual meeting is running the most updated version of the applicable software and plugins. You should ensure you have a strong Internet connection wherever you intend to participate in the annual meeting. You should also allow plenty of time to log in and ensure that you can hear streaming audio prior to the start of the annual meeting.

To be admitted to the virtual annual meeting, you will need to log in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYPR2024 using the 16-digit control number found on the Internet

3

Availability Notice or the proxy card previously mailed or made available to stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Will I Be Able to Ask Questions and Have These Questions Answered During the Virtual Annual Meeting?

Stockholders may submit questions for the annual meeting after logging in. If you wish to submit a question, you may do so by logging into the virtual meeting platform at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYPR2024, typing your question into the ‘‘Ask a Question” field, and clicking ‘‘Submit.” Please submit any questions before the start time of the meeting. Appropriate questions related to the business of the annual meeting (the proposals being voted on) will be answered during the annual meeting, as time permits. Any such questions that cannot be answered during the Annual Meeting due to time constraints will be posted and answered as soon as practical after the annual meeting. Additional information regarding the ability of stockholders to ask questions during the annual meeting, related to rules of conduct and other materials for the annual meeting will be available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYPR2024.

What Happens if There Are Technical Difficulties During the Annual Meeting?

Beginning 15 minutes prior to, and during, the annual meeting, we will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual annual meeting, voting at the annual meeting or submitting questions at the annual meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual annual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support line available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYPR2024.

Who May Vote?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 15, 2024 will be entitled to vote at the annual meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 72,007,954 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, including 56,952,666 shares of Class A common stock and 15,055,288 shares of Class B common stock. Our Class A common stock and Class B common stock are our only classes of voting stock.

If on April 15, 2024 your shares of our common stock were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record.

If on April 15, 2024 your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the Internet Availability Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the annual meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the annual meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

You do not need to attend the annual meeting to vote your shares. Shares represented by valid proxies, received in time for the annual meeting and not revoked prior to the annual meeting, will be voted at the annual meeting. For instructions on how to change or revoke your proxy, see “May I Change or Revoke My Proxy?” below.

How Many Votes Do I Have?

Each share of our Class A common stock that you own entitles you to one (1) vote and each share of our Class B common stock that you own entitles you to twenty (20) votes.

4

How Do I Vote?

Whether you plan to attend the annual meeting or not, we urge you to vote by proxy. All shares represented by valid proxies that we receive through this solicitation, and that are not revoked, will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card or as instructed via the Internet or telephone. You may specify whether your shares should be voted FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN for each nominee for director and whether your shares should be voted FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN with respect to each of the other proposals. If you properly submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with our board of directors’ recommendations as noted below. Voting by proxy will not affect your right to attend the annual meeting.

If your shares are registered directly in your name through our stock transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or you have stock certificates registered in your name, you may vote:

• By Internet or by telephone. Follow the instructions included in the Internet Availability Notice or, if you received printed materials, in the proxy card to vote over the Internet or by telephone.

• By mail. If you received a proxy card by mail, you can vote by mail by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card as instructed on the card. If you sign the proxy card but do not specify how you want your shares voted, they will be voted in accordance with our board of directors’ recommendations as noted below.

Telephone and Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 10, 2024.

If your shares are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record), you will receive instructions from the holder of record. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted. Telephone and Internet voting also will be offered to stockholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you plan to vote your shares in person at the annual meeting, you should contact your broker or agent to obtain a legal proxy or broker’s proxy card in order to vote.

How Does Our Board of Directors Recommend that I Vote on the Proposals?

Our board of directors recommends that you vote as follows:

• “FOR” the election of the nominees for director;

• “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; and

• “FOR” the amendment (the “Sunset Amendment”) to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to add a provision with respect to the automatic conversion of our Class B common stock effective December 22, 2028, which is seven years from the date of the closing of our Business Combination (as defined below).

If any other matter is presented at the annual meeting, your proxy provides that your shares will be voted by the proxy holder listed in the proxy in accordance with the proxy holder’s best judgment. At the time this proxy statement was first made available, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the annual meeting, other than those discussed in this proxy statement.

May I Change or Revoke My Proxy?

If you give us your proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before the annual meeting. You may change or revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

• if you received a proxy card, by signing a new proxy card with a date later than your previously delivered proxy and submitting it as instructed above;

5

• by re-voting by Internet or by telephone as instructed above;

• by notifying our Corporate Secretary in writing before the annual meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

• by attending the annual meeting and voting at the meeting. Attending the annual meeting will not in and of itself revoke a previously submitted proxy. You must specifically request at the annual meeting that it be revoked.

Your most current vote, whether by telephone, Internet or proxy card is the one that will be counted.

What if I Receive More Than One Internet Availability Notice or Proxy Card?

You may receive more than one Internet Availability Notice or proxy card if you hold shares of our common stock in more than one account, which may be in registered form or held in street name. Please vote in the manner described above under “How Do I Vote?” for each account to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Will My Shares be Voted if I Do Not Vote?

If your shares are registered in your name or if you have stock certificates, they will not be counted if you do not vote as described above under “How Do I Vote?” If your shares are held in street name and you do not provide voting instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares as described above, the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares has the authority to vote your unvoted shares only on the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2 of this proxy statement) without receiving instructions from you. Therefore, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee. This ensures your shares will be voted at the annual meeting and in the manner you desire. A “broker non-vote” will occur if your broker cannot vote your shares on a particular matter because it has not received instructions from you and does not have discretionary voting authority on that matter or because your broker chooses not to vote on a matter for which it does have discretionary voting authority.

What Vote is Required to Approve Each Proposal and How are Votes Counted?

Proposal 1: Elect Directors

Each of the nominees for director will be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in favor of or against the election of such nominee. For each nominee, you may vote either FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN for such nominee. Abstentions will have no effect on the results of this vote. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for the election of the directors. As a result, any shares not voted by a customer will be treated as a broker non-vote. Such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.

Proposal 2: Ratify Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively for this proposal is required to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will have no effect on the results of this vote. Brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name on this proposal. If a broker does not exercise this authority, such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote. We are not required to obtain the approval of our stockholders to appoint our independent registered public accounting firm. However, if our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered

6

public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, our audit committee of our board of directors will reconsider its selection.

Proposal 3: Approve the Sunset Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation

The following votes are required to approve the Sunset Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation: the (i) affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Class B common stock, voting as a separate class, (ii) affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock, voting together as a single class, and (iii) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Class B common stock present or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter, voting as a separate class. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name on this proposal. As a result, any shares not voted by a customer will be treated as a broker non-vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be treated as votes against this proposal.

Our Founder and member of our board of directors, Dr. Rothberg, beneficially owns 100% of our Class B common stock and controls a majority of the voting power of all of our outstanding shares of capital stock. As a result, Dr. Rothberg has the power to elect each of the nominees named in this proxy statement, ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, and approve the Sunset Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. Dr. Rothberg has indicated his intention to vote in favor of the Sunset Amendment proposal, in which case we would not need any other shares issued and outstanding to vote in favor of the Sunset Amendment proposal in order to have such proposal approved.

Where Can I Find the Voting Results of the Annual Meeting?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the annual meeting, and we will publish preliminary, or final results if available, in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the annual meeting. If final results are unavailable at the time we file the Form 8-K, then we will file an amended Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the final voting results within four business days after the final voting results are known.

What Are the Costs of Soliciting these Proxies?

We will pay all of the costs of soliciting these proxies. Our directors and employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, fax or email. We will pay these employees and directors no additional compensation for these services. We will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward these proxy materials to their principals and to obtain authority to execute proxies. We will then reimburse them for their expenses.

What Constitutes a Quorum for the Annual Meeting?

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. Votes of stockholders of record who are present at the annual meeting in person or by proxy, abstentions, and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

Attending the Annual Meeting

This year, our annual meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. To attend the virtual annual meeting, go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYPR2024 shortly before the meeting time, and follow the instructions for downloading the webcast. You need not attend the annual meeting in order to vote.

Householding of Annual Disclosure Documents

Some brokers or other nominee record holders may be sending you a single set of our proxy materials if multiple Hyperfine, Inc. stockholders live in your household. This practice, which has been approved by the SEC, is called “householding.” Once you receive notice from your broker or other nominee record holder that it will be “householding” our proxy materials, the practice will continue until you are otherwise notified or until you notify them that you no longer want to participate in the practice. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.

We will promptly deliver a separate copy of our Internet Availability Notice or if applicable, our proxy materials to you if you write or call our Corporate Secretary at: Hyperfine, Inc., 351 New Whitfield Street, Guilford, Connecticut 06437 or (866) 796-6767. If you want to receive your own set of our proxy materials in the future or, if you share an address with another stockholder and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of proxy materials, you should contact your broker or other nominee record holder directly or you may contact us at the above address and phone number.

Electronic Delivery of Company Stockholder Communications

Most stockholders can elect to view or receive copies of future proxy materials over the Internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail.

You can choose this option and save us the cost of producing and mailing these documents by:

• following the instructions provided on your Internet Availability Notice or proxy card; or

• following the instructions provided when you vote over the Internet.

Description of the Business Combination Completed in December 2021

On December 22, 2021, HealthCor Catalio Acquisition Corp., a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“HealthCor” and after the Business Combination described herein, the “Company”), after domesticating as a Delaware corporation on December 21, 2021, consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among HealthCor, Optimus Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of HealthCor (“Merger Sub I”), Optimus Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of HealthCor (“Merger Sub II”), Hyperfine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Hyperfine”), and Liminal Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Liminal”).

Controlled Company Exemption

Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D. beneficially owns a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements (1) that a majority of its board of directors consist of independent directors, (2) that its board of directors have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (3) that director nominees must either be selected, or recommended for the board’s selection, either by independent directors constituting a majority of the board’s independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate, or a nominating and corporate governance committee comprised solely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. As a result, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. If we cease to be a “controlled company” and our shares continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), we will be required to comply with these standards and, depending on the board’s independence determination with respect to our then-current directors, we may be required to add additional directors to our board in order to achieve such compliance within the applicable transition periods.

Composition of the Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors is declassified and the directors will be elected annually.

14

Independence of the Board of Directors

Nasdaq rules generally require that independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. As a controlled company, we are largely exempt from such requirements. Based upon information requested from and provided by each proposed director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, we have determined that John Dahldorf, Ruth Fattori and Daniel J. Wolterman, representing three of our directors, are “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq.

Board Committees

The standing committees of our board of directors consist of an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors may from time to time establish other committees.

Our chief executive officer and other executive officers will regularly report to the non-executive directors and the audit, the compensation and the nominating and corporate governance committees to ensure effective and efficient oversight of our activities and to assist in proper risk management and the ongoing evaluation of management controls. We believe that the leadership structure of our board of directors will provide appropriate risk oversight of our activities given the controlling interests held by Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D.

Meeting Attendance

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, there were four meetings of our board of directors and the various committees of our board of directors met a total of 14 times. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the board of directors and of committees of the board of directors on which such director served during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The board of directors has adopted a policy under which each member of the board of directors makes every effort to but is not required to attend each annual meeting of our stockholders.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee met five times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Our audit committee consists of John Dahldorf, who serves as the chairperson, Ruth Fattori and Daniel J. Wolterman. Each member of the audit committee qualifies as an independent director under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1943, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Dahldorf qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and possesses financial sophistication, as defined under the rules of Nasdaq.

The purpose of the audit committee is to prepare the audit committee report required by the SEC to be included in our proxy statement and to assist the board of directors in overseeing and monitoring (1) the quality and integrity of the financial statements, (2) compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm. Please see the report of the audit committee set forth elsewhere in this proxy statement.

The board of directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee which is available on our website at https://hyperfine.io under Investors — Corporate Governance — Documents & Charters.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee met five times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Our compensation committee consists of Ruth Fattori, who serves as the chairperson, and John Dahldorf. Our board

15

of directors has determined that all members of the compensation committee qualify as independent under the definition promulgated by Nasdaq.

The purpose of the compensation committee is to assist the board of directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to (1) setting our compensation program, including recommending to the board of directors the approval of the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our directors, and approving the compensation of our other executive officers, (2) administering and monitoring our incentive and equity-based compensation plans and (3) preparing the compensation committee report, if required, in our proxy statement under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The compensation committee evaluates each executive officer’s performance for the prior year. In connection with the annual review cycle for 2023, Ms. Sainz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, meets with our executive officers to discuss our accomplishments and the individual’s performance and contributions during the prior year. Ms. Sainz also evaluates company performance against corporate goals. This process leads to a recommendation by Ms. Sainz to the compensation committee with respect to each executive officer, other than herself, as to:

• the achievement of corporate goals and individual performance;

• the level of contributions made to the general management and leadership of the Company;

• the appropriateness of salary increases; and

• the amount of bonuses to be paid, if any.

These recommendations are reviewed and taken into account by the compensation committee, together with the compensation committee’s evaluation of Ms. Sainz’s performance and contributions. The compensation committee then approves the compensation of our executive officers other than our President and Chief Executive Officer, and makes a recommendation regarding the compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer to the full board of directors, which then approves the compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Sainz, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a director, is not present when the board of directors discusses and makes decisions about her compensation. The compensation committee also grants equity awards to our executive officers.

The compensation committee may engage compensation consultants to evaluate executive compensation, discuss general compensation trends, provide competitive market practice data, and assist in the design and implementation of certain elements of the executive compensation program.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our compensation committee engaged Aon’s Human Capital Solutions practice, a division of Aon plc, an independent executive compensation consulting firm, or Aon, as its independent compensation consultant. Aon reports directly to the compensation committee, and the compensation committee has the sole authority to hire, fire and direct the work of Aon. Aon assists the compensation committee in fulfilling its responsibilities under its charter, including advising on proposed compensation packages for executive officers, compensation program design, director compensation and market practices generally.

Although our board of directors and compensation committee consider the advice and recommendations of Aon or any other independent compensation consultant that our compensation committee may engage as to our executive or director compensation, our board of directors and compensation committee ultimately make their own decisions about these matters.

Aon did not provide any services to us or our compensation committee other than as described above in connection with our executive and director compensation for 2023. The compensation committee has assessed the independence of Aon pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that Aon’s work for the compensation committee does not raise any conflict of interest.

16

The board of directors has adopted a written charter for the compensation committee, which is available on our website at https://hyperfine.io under Investors — Corporate Governance — Documents & Charters.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee met four times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Daniel J. Wolterman, who serves as the chairperson and Ruth Fattori. All members of the nominating and corporate governance committee qualify as independent under the definition promulgated by Nasdaq.

The purpose of the nominating and corporate governance committee is to assist the board of directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to (1) identifying individuals qualified to become new board of directors members, consistent with criteria approved by the board of directors, (2) reviewing the qualifications of incumbent directors to determine whether to recommend them for reelection and selecting, or recommending that the board of directors select, the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders, (3) identifying members of the board of directors qualified to fill vacancies on any committee of the board of directors and recommending that the board of directors appoint the identified member or members to the applicable committee, (4) reviewing and recommending to the board of directors corporate governance principles applicable to us, (5) overseeing the evaluation of the board of directors, (6) overseeing the process of succession planning for the Chief Executive Officer and, as warranted, other senior officers of Hyperfine and (7) handling such other matters that are specifically delegated to the committee by the board of directors from time to time.

Generally, our nominating and corporate governance committee considers candidates recommended by stockholders as well as from other sources such as other directors or officers, third party search firms or other appropriate sources. Once identified, the nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate a candidate’s qualifications in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Policy Regarding Qualifications of Directors” appended to our nominating and corporate governance committee charter. Threshold criteria include: experience, skills, expertise, diversity, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability in light of other commitments, dedication and conflicts of interest. Our nominating and corporate governance committee has not adopted a formal diversity policy in connection with the consideration of director nominations or the selection of nominees. However, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider issues of diversity among its members in identifying and considering nominees for director, and strive where appropriate to achieve a diverse balance of backgrounds, perspectives, experience, age, gender, ethnicity and country of citizenship on our board of directors and its committees.

If a stockholder wishes to propose a candidate for consideration as a nominee for election to our board of directors, it must follow the procedures described in our bylaws, in the “Policy on Stockholder Recommendation of Candidates for Election as Directors” appended to our nominating and corporate governance committee charter, and in “Stockholder Proposals and Nominations for Director” at the end of this proxy statement. Any such recommendation should be made in writing to the nominating and corporate governance committee, care of our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office and should be accompanied by the following information concerning each recommending stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made:

• all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement;

• certain biographical and share ownership information about the stockholder and any other proponent, including a description of any derivative transactions in the Company’s securities;

• a description of certain arrangements and understandings between the proposing stockholder and any beneficial owner and any other person in connection with such stockholder nomination; and

• a statement whether or not either such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of voting shares sufficient to carry the proposal.

17

The recommendation must also be accompanied by the following information concerning the proposed nominee:

• certain biographical information concerning the proposed nominee;

• all information concerning the proposed nominee required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors;

• certain information about any other security holder of the Company who supports the proposed nominee;

• a description of all relationships between the proposed nominee and the recommending stockholder or any beneficial owner, including any agreements or understandings regarding the nomination; and

• additional disclosures relating to stockholder nominees for directors, including completed questionnaires and disclosures required by our bylaws.

The board of directors has adopted a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee which is available on our website at https://hyperfine.io under Investors — Corporate Governance — Documents & Charters.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our board of directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines that serve as a flexible framework within which our board of directors and our committees operate. These guidelines cover a number of areas including board membership criteria and director qualifications, director responsibilities, board agenda, meetings of non-management directors, committee responsibilities and assignments, board member access to management and independent advisors, director communications with third parties, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, evaluation of our chief executive officer and management succession planning. A copy of our corporate governance guidelines is posted on our website at https://hyperfine.io under Investors — Corporate Governance — Documents & Charters.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Our compensation committee has two members, Ruth Fattori, who serves as the chairperson, and John Dahldorf. In 2023, none of our executive officers served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that had one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee. There are no family relationships between or among the members of our board of directors or executive officers.

Board Leadership Structure and Role on Risk Oversight

The positions of our chairperson of the board and chief executive officer are separate. Separating these positions allows our chief executive officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the chairperson of the board to lead the board of directors in its fundamental roles of setting a company’s overall strategy and providing advice to and independent oversight of management. Our board of directors recognizes the time, effort and energy that the chief executive officer must devote to her position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our chairperson, particularly as the board of directors’ oversight responsibilities continue to grow. Our board of directors also believes that this structure ensures a greater role for the independent directors in the oversight of the company and active participation of the independent directors in setting agendas and establishing priorities and procedures for the work of our board of directors. Our board of directors believes that having separate positions is the appropriate leadership structure for the Company at this time and demonstrates our commitment to good corporate governance. Our board of directors believes its administration of its risk oversight function has not affected its leadership structure.

18

The board of directors has extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to us and our business and will accomplish this oversight through the regular reporting to the board of directors by the audit committee. The audit committee will represent the board of directors by periodically reviewing our accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of our financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, internal audit and information technology functions, the audit committee will review and discuss all significant areas of our business and summarize for the board of directors all areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors. In addition, the board of directors will receive periodic detailed operating performance reviews from management.

Policy on Anti-Hedging and Pledging

We maintain an Insider Trading Policy that, among other things, generally prohibits all officers, including our NEOs, directors and employees from engaging in “hedging” transactions with respect to our shares. This includes short sales, hedging of share ownership positions, and transactions involving derivative securities relating to our shares. The Insider Trading Policy also generally prohibits borrowing or other arrangements involving the non-recourse pledge of our shares.

Stockholder Communications to the Board of Directors

Generally, stockholders and other constituents who have questions or concerns should contact our Investor Relations group at (866) 796-6767 or investors@hyperfine.io. However, any stockholders who wish to address questions regarding our business directly with the board of directors, or any individual director, should direct his or her questions in writing to the Chairperson of the board of directors at Hyperfine, Inc., 351 New Whitfield Street, Guilford, Connecticut 06437. Communications will be distributed to the board of directors, or to any individual director or directors as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communications. Items that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the board of directors may be excluded, such as: junk mail and mass mailings; resumes and other forms of job inquiries; surveys; and solicitations or advertisements. In addition, any material that is unduly hostile, threatening, or illegal in nature may be excluded, provided that any communication that is filtered out will be made available to any outside director upon request.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

This section provides an overview of our executive compensation programs, including a narrative description of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table below. The number of securities and exercise prices, as applicable, described in this section have been adjusted based on the applicable exchange ratios to reflect the number of securities and exercise prices following the Business Combination and, where applicable, the option repricing effected on October 31, 2022 (the “Option Repricing”). Our named executive officers (“Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”) are:

• Maria Sainz, President and Chief Executive Officer,

• Brett Hale, Chief Administrative Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Corporate Secretary, and

• Thomas Teisseyre, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer.

The objective of our compensation program is to provide a total compensation package to each NEO that will enable us to attract, motivate and retain outstanding individuals, align the interests of our executive team with those of our equity holders, encourage individual and collective contributions to the successful execution of our short- and long-term business strategies and reward NEOs for performance.

For 2023 and 2022, the compensation program for the NEOs consisted of a base salary and incentive compensation delivered in the form of cash bonuses and time-based and performance-based stock option and restricted stock unit awards, each as described below:

• Base Salary. Base salary is paid to attract and retain qualified talent and is set at a level that is commensurate with the executive’s duties and authorities, contributions, prior experience and sustained performance.

• Cash Bonuses. Cash bonuses are paid to incentivize the NEOs to achieve annual financial and operating performance metrics. Other than for the CEO, the bonus is approved by the compensation committee.

• Equity Awards. Stock option and restricted stock unit awards are made to incentivize and reward long-term gains in shareholder value, with time-based vesting terms up to four years and/or performance vesting terms to ensure retention while rewarding executives for future potential growth.

Severance Plan

On December 22, 2021, the board of directors adopted the Hyperfine, Inc.

Participants currently listed in the Severance Plan include Maria Sainz, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Brett Hale, our Chief Administrative Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Corporate Secretary; and; Tom Teisseyre, our Chief Operating Officer.

Under the Severance Plan, if we terminate a participant’s employment without cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) at any time other than during the twelve (12) month period following a change in control (as such term is defined in the Severance Plan) (the “Change in Control Period”), then the participant is eligible to receive the following benefits:

• We will pay for company contribution for continuation coverage under COBRA during the severance period.

• We will pay for company contribution for continuation coverage under COBRA during the severance period.

23

• Any outstanding unvested equity awards held by the participant under any then-current outstanding equity incentive plan(s) will become fully vested as of the date the termination of such participant’s employment becomes effective.

A participant’s rights to any severance benefits under the Severance Plan are conditioned upon the participant executing and not revoking a valid separation and general release of claims agreement in a form provided by us.

Director Compensation Policy

On December 22, 2021, we adopted a nonemployee director compensation policy, which was amended on June 8, 2023 and April 1, 2024. Pursuant to the policy, the annual retainer for non-employee directors is $50,000 and the Chairperson of the board of directors receives an additional retainer in the amount of $40,000. Annual retainers for committee membership are as follows:

These fees are payable in arrears in quarterly installments as soon as practicable following the last business day of each fiscal quarter, provided that the amount of such payment will be prorated for any portion of such quarter that a director is not serving on our board of directors, on such committee or in such position. Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the board and any committee of the board on which they serve and in connection with other business related to the board. Directors may also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses in accordance with our travel and other expense policies, as may be in effect from time to time.

In addition, we grant to new non-employee directors upon their initial election to our board of directors (including any non-employee director whose election to our board of directors was approved at the special meeting of stockholders held on December 21, 2021) a number of RSUs (each RSU relating to one share of our Class A common stock) or other equity award, as determined by the board of directors, on the first business day after the date that the non-employee director is first appointed or elected to the board. Each of these grants shall vest in equal annual installments over three years from the date of the grant, subject to the non-employee director’s continued service as a director on the applicable vesting dates.

Further, in connection with each of our annual meetings of stockholders, each non-employee director automatically receives a non-qualified stock option to purchase 79,200 shares of our Class A common stock, each year beginning in 2024 on the first business day after our annual meeting of stockholders. Each of these options has a term of 10 years from the date of the award and vests at the end of the period beginning on the date of each regular annual meeting of stockholders and ending on the date of the next regular annual meeting of stockholders, subject to the non-employee director’s continued service as a director through the applicable vesting dates.

On July 8, 2022, we terminated the Consulting Agreement.

This committee reviews and reassesses our charter annually and recommends any changes to our board of directors for approval. The audit committee is responsible for overseeing our overall financial reporting process, and for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the work of Grant Thornton LLP our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2023. In fulfilling its responsibilities for the financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the audit committee took the following actions:

• Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 with management and Grant Thornton LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023;

• Discussed with Grant Thornton LLP the matters required to be discussed in accordance with Auditing Standard No. 1301- Communications with Audit Committees; and

• Received written disclosures and the letter from Grant Thornton LLP regarding its independence as required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Grant Thornton LLP’s communications with the audit committee and the audit committee further discussed with Grant Thornton LLP their independence.

Based on the audit committee’s review of the audited financial statements and discussions with management and Grant Thornton LLP, the audit committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for filing with the SEC.

Legacy Hyperfine and Liminal

Lease Arrangements

We occupy office space at 351 New Whitfield Street, Guilford, Connecticut, and had occupied office space at 3000 El Camino Real, Suite 100, Palo Alto, California. The office space at 351 New Whitfield Street, Guilford, Connecticut is leased from an unrelated landlord by 4Catalyzer Corporation (“4Catalyzer”). 4Catalyzer subleases space to us at 351 New Whitfield Street, where we occupy such portions of the space as 4Catalyzer may designate from time to time on a month-to-month basis, and we pay our pro rata share of expenses paid by 4Catalyzer for such space under the master lease. The office space at 3000 El Camino Real was leased from an unrelated landlord by 4Catalyzer. In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, 4Catalyzer granted us a license to use such portions of the office space at 3000 El Camino Real as 4Catalyzer may designate from time to time. As of May 2023, 4Catalyzer’s lease ended at the office space at 3000 El Camino Real and we entered into a direct lease with the landlord. Under these agreements, we paid an aggregate amount of approximately $399,612 and $313,901 in rent for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The TSEA provides that ownership of each non-core technology shared by Legacy Hyperfine, Liminal or another participant company will remain with the company that originally shared the non-core technology. In addition, any participant company (including Legacy Hyperfine and Liminal) may, in its discretion, permit its personnel to be engaged by another participant company to perform professional, technical or consulting services for such participant. Unless otherwise agreed to by Legacy Hyperfine, Liminal and the other participant company, all rights, title and interest in and to any inventions, works-of-authorship, idea, data or know-how invented, made, created or developed by the personnel (employees, contractors or consultants) in the course of conducting services for a participant company (“Created IP”) will be owned by the participant company for which the work was performed, and the recipient participant company grants to the party that had its personnel provide the services that resulted in the creation of the Created IP a royalty-free, perpetual, limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable (and with respect to software,

30

sub-licensable in object code only) license to utilize the Created IP only in the core business field of the originating participant company, including a license to create and use derivative works based on the Created IP in the originating participant’s core business field, subject to any agreed upon restrictions.

On June 13, 2022, we and Dr. Rothberg terminated the Advisory Agreement.

Indemnification Agreements with Officers and Directors and Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements and our Bylaws require that we indemnify our directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law. Subject to certain limitations, the indemnification agreements and the Bylaws also require us to advance expenses incurred by our directors and officers. We also maintain a general liability insurance policy, which covers certain liabilities of its directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

We have adopted a written related person transaction policy that sets forth the following policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions.

A “Related Person Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds the lesser of (i) $120,000, and (ii) one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to the Company or any of its subsidiaries as an employee, consultant or director will not be considered related person transactions under this policy. A “Related Person” is:

• any person who is or was an executive officer, director, or director nominee of the Company at any time since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year;

• a person who is or was an Immediate Family Member (as defined below) of an executive officer, director, director nominee at any time since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year;

31

• any person who, at the time of the occurrence or existence of the transaction, is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities (a “Significant Stockholder”); or

• any person who, at the time of the occurrence or existence of the transaction, is an Immediate Family Member of a Significant Stockholder of the Company.

An “Immediate Family Member” of a person is any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law of such person, or any other person sharing the household of such person, other than a tenant or employee.

The Company has implemented policies and procedures designed to minimize potential conflicts of interest arising from any dealings it may have with its affiliates and to provide appropriate procedures for the disclosure of any real or potential conflicts of interest that may exist from time to time. Specifically, pursuant to its charter, the audit committee has the responsibility to review related party transactions.

Under the related person transaction policy, any related person transaction will be reviewed and approved by the audit committee prior to effectiveness or consummation of the transaction, whenever practicable, and if advance approval is not practicable under the circumstances, ratified by the audit committee at its next meeting. Alternatively, a related person transaction arising in the time period between meetings of the audit committee may be presented to the chairperson of the audit committee, who shall review and may approve the related person transaction, subject to ratification by the audit committee at the next meeting of the audit committee.

To identify related person transactions in advance, we expect to rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, our audit committee is expected to take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to:

• the related person’s interest in the transaction;

• the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction;

• the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss;

• whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of business of the Company;

• whether the transaction with the related person is proposed to be, or was, entered into on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party;

• the purpose of, and the potential benefits to the Company of, the transaction; and

• any other information regarding the transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

The audit committee will approve only those transactions that it determines are fair to the Company and in the Company’s best interests.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee has appointed Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Our board of directors proposes that the stockholders ratify this appointment. We expect that representatives of Grant Thornton LLP will be present at the annual meeting, will be able to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

On March 24, 2023, our audit committee appointed Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. On March 24, 2023, the audit committee also dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. The audit report of Deloitte & Touche LLP on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of an opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. We do not anticipate representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the annual meeting.

In deciding to appoint Grant Thornton LLP, the audit committee reviewed auditor independence issues and existing commercial relationships with Grant Thornton LLP and concluded that Grant Thornton LLP has no commercial relationship with the Company that would impair its independence for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by Grant Thornton LLP for the audit of our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and fees billed for other services rendered by Grant Thornton LLP during those periods ($ amounts in thousands).

	2023
Audit Fees (1)	$	442
Audit-Related Fees (2)		95
Tax Fees (2)		—
All Other Fees (2)		—
Total	$	537

(1) Audit fees consisted of audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements and services in connection with our periodic and current SEC filings and registration statements, as well as work generally only the independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, such as the provision of consents in connection with the filing of registration statements and related amendments, as well as other filings.

(2) Grant Thornton LLP did not provide any products and services not disclosed in the table above during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. As a result, there were no other fees billed or paid during this fiscal year.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Public Accountant

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the audit committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, the audit committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Prior to engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm for the next year’s audit, management will submit an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services to the audit committee for approval.

1. Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only an independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

2. Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by an independent registered public accounting firm, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

3. Tax services include all services performed by an independent registered public accounting firm’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and include fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

4. Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories. We generally do not request such services from our independent registered public accounting firm.

Prior to engagement, the audit committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the audit committee requires our independent registered public accounting firm and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage our independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the audit committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging our independent registered public accounting firm.

35

The audit committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting.

In the event the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, the audit committee will reconsider its appointment.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively for this proposal is required to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF GRANT THORNTON LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF SUCH RATIFICATION UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER INDICATES OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

36

PROPOSAL NO. 3

SUNSET AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Our board of directors has determined that it is advisable to approve the Sunset Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to add a provision with respect to the automatic conversion of our Class B common stock effective December 22, 2028, which is seven years from the date of the closing of our Business Combination, and recommends that the stockholders approve the Sunset Amendment. The full text of the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Reasons for the Proposed Sunset Amendment

Our Certificate of Incorporation currently provides for a dual-class structure that is not subject to a time-based sunset provision, in which shares of our Class B common stock have 20 votes per share, while shares of our Class A common stock have one vote per share. Our Founder and member of our board of directors, Dr. Rothberg, beneficially owns 100% of our Class B common stock and controls a majority of the voting power of all of our outstanding capital stock (84.7% as of April 1, 2024). As such, Dr. Rothberg has the ability to significantly influence our business and affairs through his ownership of the high vote Class B common stock, even though Dr. Rothberg owns less than a majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock. Dr. Rothberg is able to control matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other major corporate transactions. Dr. Rothberg, as controlling shareholder, may have interests that differ from other stockholders and may vote in a way with which other stockholders disagree and which may be adverse to the interests of other stockholders.

This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of the Company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of the Company, and might ultimately affect the market price of shares of our Class A common stock. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise among Dr. Rothberg, on the one hand, and the Company and holders of our Class A common stock on the other hand. If the holders of our Class A common stock are dissatisfied with the performance of our board of directors, they have no ability to remove any of our directors, with or without cause.

The board of directors believes it is important to approve the Sunset Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to add a provision with respect to the automatic conversion of our Class B common stock effective December 22, 2028, which is seven years from the date of the closing of our Business Combination, to create alignment between economic interests and voting rights, reduce the concentration of our voting power, and incentivize stockholders to vote. In addition, the board of directors also believes that the elimination of our dual-class capital structure may provide other benefits to the Company and its stockholders, including possible inclusion of the Company in certain stock indices, such as the S&P Dow Indices, that bar companies with a multi-class capital structure. In light of the foregoing, the board of directors believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to approve the Sunset Amendment.

The following votes are required to approve the Sunset Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation: the (i) affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Class B common stock, voting as a separate class, (ii) affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock, voting together as a single class, and (iii) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Class B common stock present or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter, voting as a separate class. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be treated as votes against this proposal. Dr. Rothberg has indicated his intention to vote in favor of the Sunset Amendment proposal, in which case we would not need any other shares issued and outstanding to vote in favor of the Sunset Amendment proposal in order to have the Sunset Amendment proposal approved.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE TO APPROVE THE SUNSET AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY

37

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE SUNSET AMENDMENT UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER INDICATES OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

38

CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The text of the code of business conduct and ethics is posted on our website at www.hyperfine.io and will be made available to stockholders without charge, upon request, in writing to the Corporate Secretary at Hyperfine, Inc., 351 New Whitfield Street, Guilford, Connecticut 06437. Disclosure regarding any amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of the code of business conduct and ethics that apply to our directors, principal executive officer and principal financial officer will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days following the date of the amendment or waiver, unless website posting or the issuance of a press release of such amendments or waivers is then permitted by the rules of Nasdaq.

OTHER MATTERS

Our board of directors knows of no other business which will be presented to the annual meeting. If any other business is properly brought before the annual meeting, proxies will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons named therein.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS FOR DIRECTOR

To be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement relating to our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, we must receive stockholder proposals (other than for director nominations) no later than December 27, 2024. To be considered for presentation at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, although not included in the proxy statement, proposals (including director nominations that are not requested to be included in our proxy statement) must be received not earlier than February 11, 2025 and no later than March 13, 2025. In addition to satisfying the foregoing advance notice requirements, to comply with the universal proxy rules under the Exchange Act, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must follow the requirements set forth in Rule 14a-19 as promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Proposals that are not received in a timely manner or in accordance with applicable law will not be voted on at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.
