COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Q: Why did I receive these materials?

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company is soliciting your proxy to vote at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on December 5, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (the “Annual Meeting”) (or at any postponement, adjournment or continuation of the meeting). Stockholders who own shares of our common stock as of the record date, October 11, 2024 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. You should review these proxy materials carefully as they give important information about the proposals that will be voted on at the Annual Meeting, as well as other important information about the Company.

Q: What is included in the proxy materials?

The proxy materials include:

•	our proxy statement for the Annual Meeting;

•	our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024; and

•	the proxy card or a voting instruction form for the Annual Meeting.

Q: I share an address with another stockholder. How does that impact the proxy materials I receive?

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules permit us to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders of record sharing the same address by delivering a single copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) and, if applicable, the proxy materials addressed to those stockholders, a procedure called “householding.” To take advantage of this opportunity, only a copy of the Notice and, if applicable, a set of proxy materials is being delivered to all of the accounts registered with the same tax identification number or duplicate name and address, unless we received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, proxy materials, to any stockholder to which a single copy of those documents was delivered. In addition, stockholders sharing an address who are currently receiving multiple copies of the Notice and, if applicable, proxy materials, may also request delivery of a single copy. Stockholders may make a request by contacting Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at 1-866-540-7095 or in writing at Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. Beneficial owners of shares held in street name can request information about householding from their banks, brokerage firms, or other holders of record.

Q: Why did I receive a Notice in the mail regarding the Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

In accordance with the rules adopted by the SEC, we may furnish proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our Annual Report, to our stockholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet instead of mailing copies. Most stockholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice, which was mailed to our stockholders, will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials on the Internet. The Notice also instructs you as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice.

Q: Who is entitled to vote?

Stockholders who own shares of our common stock as of the Record Date, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, the Company had 135,496,056 shares of common stock outstanding. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter. Cumulative voting is not permitted with respect to the election of directors or any other matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q: What will I be voting on?

You will be voting on the following proposals, with our voting recommendations:

1.	FOR the election of Andrew Cavanna, Thomas Scully and Marilyn Tavenner as Class I directors;

2.	FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025; and

3.	FOR the amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the exculpation of certain officers as permitted under Delaware law.

Q: How do I cast my vote?

Beneficial Stockholders. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, you are a beneficial stockholder. In order to vote your shares, please refer to the materials forwarded to you by your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee for instructions on how to vote the shares you hold as a beneficial stockholder.

Registered Stockholders. If you hold shares in your own name, you are a registered stockholder and may vote during the virtual Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INNV2024. You will need log in by entering your unique 16-digit control number included on your Notice, proxy card or on the voting instruction form accompanying these proxy materials. Only one person will be able to log in with that unique control number at any time. You can also vote by proxy before the Annual Meeting in the following ways:

1.	via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com;

2.	by phone by calling 1-800-690-6903; or

3.	by signing and returning a proxy card.

Proxies submitted via the Internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 4, 2024. Regardless of whether you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares as soon as possible. If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card will vote in accordance with the Board’s recommendations. The Board’s recommendation with respect to each proposal that you are being asked to vote on is set forth above, as well as within the description of each proposal in this proxy statement.

Q: Can I access the proxy materials electronically?

Yes. Our proxy materials are available at www.proxyvote.com. In addition, instead of receiving future copies of our Notice and, if applicable, proxy materials by mail, stockholders of record and most beneficial owners can elect to receive an email that will provide an electronic link to these documents. If you would like to instruct us to send electronic copies of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions available at www.proxyvote.com.

Our proxy materials are also available on our Investor Relations website at investor.innovage.com/financial-information/annual-reports.

Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of printing and mailing these materials on the environment. Your election to receive future proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you revoke it.

Q: How may I change or revoke my proxy?

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

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

1.	via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com;

2.	by phone by calling 1-800-690-6903;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

3.	by signing and returning a new proxy card;

4.	by sending a written notification to our Corporate Secretary at InnovAge Holding Corp., 8950 E. Lowry Boulevard, Denver, Colorado 80230; or

5.	by attending and voting at the virtual Annual Meeting (although attendance at the virtual Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).

Q: How can I attend and participate in the virtual Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting is being held as a virtual only meeting this year.

If you are a stockholder of record as of the Record Date, you may attend, vote and ask questions virtually at the meeting by logging in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INNV2024 and entering your 16-digit control number. This number is included in your Notice, proxy card, or voting instruction form.

If you are a stockholder as of the Record Date and have logged in using your 16-digit control number, you may submit a question at any point during the meeting (until the floor is closed to questions) by typing your question into the “Ask a Question” field and clicking “Submit.” Stockholder questions or comments are welcome, but we will only answer questions pertinent to Annual Meeting matters, subject to time constraints. Questions regarding personal matters and statements of advocacy are not pertinent to Annual Meeting matters and therefore will not be addressed. Questions or comments that are substantially similar may be grouped and answered together to avoid repetition. The audio broadcast of the Annual Meeting will be archived at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INNV2024 for at least one year.

If you are not a stockholder as of the Record Date or do not log in using your 16-digit control number, you may still log in as a guest and listen to the Annual Meeting, but you will not be able to ask questions or vote at the meeting.

Q: What if I run into technical issues while trying to access the Annual Meeting?

The virtual meeting platform is supported across browsers and devices running the most updated version of applicable software and plug-ins. Participants should give themselves plenty of time to log in and ensure they have a strong internet connection, and they can hear streaming audio prior to the start of the meeting.

If you encounter technical difficulties with the virtual meeting platform on the meeting day, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the meeting website. Technical support will be available on the date of the Annual Meeting starting at 8:45 a.m. Eastern Time and until the end of the meeting.

Q: Why is the Annual Meeting virtual only?

We have adopted a virtual format for our Annual Meeting to provide a consistent experience to all stockholders regardless of location. Hosting a virtual meeting makes it easy for our stockholders to participate from any location in the world.

Q: How do I inspect the list of stockholders?

For ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, you will be able to examine the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting at our principal executive offices. To do so, you must be a stockholder as of the Record Date and will be required to provide a copy of your Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form bearing your unique 16-digit control number and a copy of a valid picture identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, that matches the name on the Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form. You will also be able to examine the list on the date of the meeting on the virtual platform for the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INNV2024.

Q: How many shares must be present to transact business at the Annual Meeting?

A quorum of our stockholders must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. Under our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), the holders of a majority in voting power of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum. If you authorize a proxy to vote electronically or telephonically, or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

you sign and return a paper proxy or voting instruction form, your shares will be counted to determine whether a quorum has been established even if you “withhold” your vote, “abstain”, or fail to vote on a particular item of business. “Broker non-votes” will also be considered present for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum for the Annual Meeting.

If a quorum is not present or represented by proxy at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, (i) the chairperson of the Annual Meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present or represented.

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

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

A plurality of the votes cast by the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to elect each nominee named herein. This means that the three nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected, even if those votes do not constitute a majority of the votes cast. Votes that are “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more director nominees will result in the respective nominee receiving fewer votes, but they will not count as votes against a nominee and will have no effect on the outcome of the election of those nominees. Broker non-votes will not impact the election of the nominees.

PROPOSAL 2 – RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Abstentions will be counted as present and entitled to vote on this proposal and will therefore have the effect of a negative vote. Since proposal 2 is considered a “routine” matter, we do not expect there to be any broker non-votes with respect to this proposal.

PROPOSAL 3 – AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO PROVIDE FOR THE EXCULPATION OF CERTAIN OFFICERS AS PERMITTED BY DELAWARE LAW

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon is required to approve the amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the exculpation of certain officers as permitted by Delaware law. If you abstain from voting on this proposal, while your shares will be considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum for the conduct of business at the Annual Meeting, your abstention will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal because they are not affirmative votes “FOR” the proposal. Since proposal 3 is considered “non-routine” matter, if you are a beneficial owner and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee with respect to this proposal, your shares may constitute broker non-votes, and no votes will be cast on your behalf with respect to this proposal. Accordingly, such broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal because they are not affirmative votes “FOR” the proposal.

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

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

Q: What is the deadline for submitting a stockholder proposal or director nomination for the annual meeting to be held in 2025?

Stockholder proposals pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025 must be submitted by email to our Corporate Secretary at legal@myinnovage.com no later than June 27, 2025.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stockholders wishing to make a director nomination or bring a proposal before the annual meeting to be held in 2025 (other than pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8) must deliver written notice of such nomination or proposal to the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices, at InnovAge Holding Corp., 8950 E. Lowry Boulevard, Denver, Colorado 80230, no later than the close of business on September 5, 2025 and not earlier than the close of business on August 7, 2025, assuming the Company does not change the date of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025 more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after the anniversary of this Annual Meeting. If so, written notice of such nomination or proposal must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of the 2025 annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders is first made by us and the 90th day prior to the date of our 2025 annual meeting. Any stockholder proposal or director nomination must comply with the other provisions of the Company’s Bylaws and be submitted in writing to the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices at the address listed above.

In addition to satisfying the requirements under the Company’s Bylaws, in order to comply with Rule 14a-19 (the universal proxy rules) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees, other than the Board’s nominees, must also provide written notice that sets forth all of the information required by Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, which notice must be postmarked or transmitted electronically to the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than October 6, 2025. However, if the date of our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders is changed by more than 30 days from December 5, 2025, then written notice must be provided by the later of the 60th day prior to the date of our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders is first made by us.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board, which is composed of nine directors. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our Board. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that our Board will be divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible. At each annual meeting of stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the class whose term is then expiring.

The following table sets forth the director class, name, age as of October 11, 2024, and other information for each member of our Board:


				Year
Name	Class	Age	Position	Director Since	Current Term Expires	Expiration of Term For Which Nominated
Andrew Cavanna	I	50	Director	2021	2024	2027
Thomas Scully	I	67	Director	2021	2024	2027
Marilyn Tavenner	I	73	Director	2021	2024	2027
James G. Carlson	II	72	Chair of the Board	2022	2025	—

Ted Kennedy, Jr.	III	63	Director	2021	2026	—

The Board believes that in order for our Board to effectively guide us to long-term sustainable, dependable performance, it should be composed of individuals with sophistication and experience in the many disciplines that impact our business. In order to best serve our stockholders, our Board seeks to, as a whole, be competent in key corporate disciplines, including healthcare regulatory issues, accounting and financial acumen, risk management, leadership, reputational issues, business judgment, governance, social responsibility, strategy and strategic planning. Additionally, we desire that the Board have knowledge related to our industry and specifically related to our business, including expertise in healthcare, particularly around regulatory, government relations and non-profit healthcare businesses, matters relating to Medicare and Medicaid, regulated industries, payor capabilities, pharmacy, technology applied to our industry and others. The Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Compensation and Nominating Committee”) believes that all directors must, at a minimum, meet the criteria set forth in the Company’s Code of Ethics and the Corporate Governance Guidelines, which specify, among other things, that the Compensation and Nominating Committee will consider criteria such as independence, diversity, age, skills, and experience in the context of the needs of the Board. The Board and the Compensation and Nominating Committee believe that diversity of backgrounds, viewpoints and personal characteristics is a key attribute for a director nominee. While we do not have a formal policy on director diversity, when considering the selection of director nominees, the Compensation and Nominating Committee considers individuals with diverse viewpoints, accomplishments, cultural background, professional expertise, and diversity in gender and ethnicity, skills, personal characteristics and geographic representation, that, when considered as a group, provide a sufficient mix of perspectives to allow the Board to best fulfill its responsibilities to the long-term interests of our stockholders. Currently, of the nine directors on our Board, three are women and one male is a director with disabilities.

The Compensation and Nominating Committee also will consider a combination of factors for each director, including those nominated by the Company’s stockholders, including (a) the nominee’s ability to represent all stockholders without a conflict of interest, (b) the nominee’s ability to work in and promote a productive environment, (c) whether the nominee has sufficient time and willingness to fulfill the substantial duties and responsibilities of a director, (d) whether the nominee has demonstrated the high level of character, ethics and integrity expected by the Company, (e) whether the nominee possesses the broad professional and leadership experience and skills necessary to effectively respond to the complex issues encountered by a publicly-traded company, (f) the nominee’s ability to apply sound and independent business judgment and (g) the diverse attributes of the nominee, such as differences in background, qualifications and personal characteristics.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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

Subject to any earlier resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and the Director Nomination Agreement, our Class I directors will serve until this Annual Meeting, our Class II directors will serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025 and our Class III directors will serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2026. In addition, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that as long as the Principal Shareholders beneficially own (directly or indirectly) 40% or more of the voting power of the Company entitled to vote, directors may be removed with or without cause upon the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon. However, once the Principal Shareholders cease to beneficially own in the aggregate (directly or indirectly) 40% or more of the voting power of our outstanding shares of stock, our directors may be removed only for cause upon the affirmative vote of at least 66 ²∕3% of the voting power of our outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon.

Board Diversity Matrix

The Board believes the current directors embody a diverse range of viewpoints, backgrounds and skills, including with respect to gender diversity. In accordance with Nasdaq’s Board Diversity Rules, the following Board diversity matrix provides certain information regarding the composition of our Board as of October 11, 2024. Each of the categories listed in the table has the meaning ascribed to them in Nasdaq Rule 5605(f). Diversity characteristics not applicable to our Board have been excluded from this table. To review our Board diversity matrix as of October 27, 2023, see our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on October 27, 2023.

Director Nomination Agreement

We are party to a Director Nomination Agreement (the “Director Nomination Agreement”), by and among the Company and Ignite Aggregator LP (an investment vehicle owned by certain funds advised by Apax Partners LLP) and Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XII, L.P., Welsh, Carson Anderson & Stowe XII Delaware, L.P., Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XII Delaware II, L.P., Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XII Cayman, L.P., WCAS XII Co-Investors LLC, WCAS Management Corporation and WCAS Co-Invest Holdco, L.P. (collectively, “WCAS” and, together with Ignite Aggregator LP, the “Principal Shareholders”). The Director Nomination Agreement provides the Principal Shareholders the right to designate (i) all of the nominees for election to the Company’s Board for so long as the Principal Shareholders collectively beneficially own 40% or more of the total number of the Company’s shares of common stock collectively beneficially owned by the Principal Shareholders upon completion of our initial public offering, as adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar changes in our capitalization (the “Original Amount”);

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii) 40% of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as the Principal Shareholders collectively beneficially own less than 40% but at least 30% of the Original Amount; (iii) 30% of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as the Principal Shareholders collectively beneficially own less than 30% but at least 20% of the Original Amount; (iv) 20% of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as the Principal Shareholders collectively beneficially own less than 20% but at least 10% of the Original Amount; and (v) one of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as the Principal Shareholders collectively beneficially own at least 5% of the Original Amount. In each case, the Principal Shareholders’ nominees must comply with applicable law and stock exchange rules. If the investment vehicle through which the Principal Shareholders hold their investment is dissolved, then each Principal Shareholder will be permitted to nominate (i) up to three directors so long as it owns at least 25% of the Original Amount, (ii) up to two directors so long as it owns at least 15% of the Original Amount and (iii) one director so long as it owns at least 5% of the Original Amount. The Principal Shareholders agree in the Director Nomination Agreement to vote any shares of our common stock and any other securities held by them in favor of the election to our Board of the directors so designated. At any time when the Principal Shareholders have the right to designate at least one nominee for election to our Board, the Principal Shareholders will also have the right to have one of their nominated directors hold one seat on each Board committee, subject to satisfying any applicable stock exchange rules or regulations regarding the independence of Board committee members. In addition, the Principal Shareholders are entitled to designate the replacement for any of their Board designees whose Board service terminates prior to the end of the director’s term regardless of the Principal Shareholders’ beneficial ownership at such time. The Director Nomination Agreement also provides for certain consent rights for each of the Principal Shareholders so long as such stockholder owns at least 5% of the Original Amount, including for any change to the size of our Board. The Director Nomination Agreement terminates at such time as the Principal Shareholders own less than 5% of our outstanding common stock.

Stockholder Recommendations and Nominations for Director Nominees

The Compensation and Nominating Committee will consider candidate recommendations for membership on the Board from other directors, stockholders, management, and other stakeholders as it deems appropriate. The Compensation and Nominating Committee may engage third parties to assist in the search and provide recommendations.

When filling a vacancy on the Board, the Compensation and Nominating Committee will identify the desired skills and experience of a new director and will nominate individuals who it believes can strengthen the Board’s capabilities and further diversify the collective experience represented by the then-current directors. The candidates will then be evaluated based on the process outlined in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Compensation and Nominating Committee charter, and the same process will be used for all candidates, including candidates recommended by stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board recommends that the nominees below be elected as members of the Board at the Annual Meeting.


				Year
Name	Class	Age	Position	Director Since	Current Term Expires	Expiration of Term For Which Nominated
Andrew Cavanna	I	50	Director	2021	2024	2027
Thomas Scully	I	67	Director	2021	2024	2027
Marilyn Tavenner	I	73	Director	2021	2024	2027

Each nominee is currently a member of our Board, was recommended for re-election by the Compensation and Nominating Committee for consideration by the Board and our stockholders, has consented to be named in this proxy statement and has agreed to serve if elected. If, before the Annual Meeting, any nominee becomes unable to serve, or chooses not to serve, the Board may nominate a substitute. If that happens, the persons named as proxies on the proxy card will vote for the substitute. Alternatively, the Board may either let the vacancy stay unfilled until an appropriate candidate is identified or reduce the size of the Board to eliminate the unfilled seat.

Vote Required

Under our Bylaws, a plurality of the votes cast by the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to elect each nominee named herein. This means that the three nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected, even if those votes do not constitute a majority of the votes cast. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote electronically at the Annual Meeting and votes that are “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more director nominees will result in the respective nominee receiving fewer votes, but they will not count as votes against a nominee and will have no effect on the outcome of the election of those nominees. Broker non-votes will not impact the election of the nominees.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

Director Nominees to Serve for a Three-Year Term Expiring at the Annual Meeting to be Held in 2027.

Controlled Company; Independence Status

Our Principal Shareholders control a majority of our outstanding common stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” under the listing standards of Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq 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 requirements, including the requirements that:

•	we have a Board that is composed of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq;

•	we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors; and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

nominees to our Board be selected, or recommended for the Board’s selection, either by: (a) independent directors constituting a majority of the Board’s independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate; or (b) a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors.

We currently rely on certain of these exemptions. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

The Board has affirmatively determined that none of the following directors (nor any of his or her family members) has a relationship with the Company which, in its opinion, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director of the Company, and therefore, each of the following directors qualifies as an independent director in accordance with Nasdaq’s listing standards: Mr. Bush, Mr. Carlson, Ms. Fontneau, Mr. Kennedy, Ms. Sparks, Ms. Tavenner and Mr. Zoretic. In addition, the Board has determined that each of Ms. Sparks, Ms. Tavenner and Mr. Zoretic meets the heightened independence requirements for audit committee membership as set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, the Board considered the relationships (if any) that each director (and any of his or her family members) has with the Company and such other facts and circumstances that the Board deemed relevant in making a determination of independence, including beneficial ownership of our common stock.

Board Meetings and Committees

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

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Board held four meetings, the Audit Committee held seven meetings, the Compensation and Nominating Committee held four meetings and the Quality and Compliance Committee held four meetings. Directors are expected to attend the annual meeting of stockholders and all or substantially all of the Board meetings and meetings of committees on which they serve. For the annual meeting held on December 11, 2023, all directors then in office attended such meeting and during the fiscal year 2024 each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all of the committees of the Board on which the director served, during such director’s tenure.

Each of our standing committees has a written charter which is available on the Investor Relations page of our website at https://investor.innovage.com. Our website is not part of the Notice and proxy statement.

The table below sets forth the composition of our Board committees as of October 11, 2024:

Our Board has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee meet the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Board Leadership Structure

The following section describes our Board leadership structure, the reasons our Board considers that this structure is appropriate at this time, the roles of various positions, and related key governance practices. Our Board believes that the mix of experienced independent directors and directors affiliated with our Principal Shareholders that currently make up our Board, our Board committee composition and the separation of the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer benefit the Company and its stockholders.

Independence

Our Board has an effective mix of independent directors and non-independent directors. Our Board includes two representatives from our Principal Shareholders, and seven independent directors, including our current Chair, Mr. Carlson.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Separate Chair and Chief Executive Officer

With respect to the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the roles may be separated or combined, and the Board will exercise its discretion in combining or separating these positions as it deems appropriate in light of prevailing circumstances. Since our initial public offering in 2021, the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer have been separated. The Board believes that this structure clarifies the individual roles and responsibilities of Chief Executive Officer and Chair, streamlines decision-making, and enhances accountability.

Our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Patrick Blair, has not been appointed as a member of the Board. The Board believes that not having the Chief Executive Officer be a member of the Board and separating the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer is the most effective leadership structure because it allows Mr. Blair to focus on the management of the Company, day-to-day operations and engaging with external stakeholders, including regulators.

Our Chair, Mr. Carlson, an independent member of the Board, focuses his attention on the broad strategic issues considered by the Board leveraging his strong public company background to provide strategic guidance and effective oversight of management, engaging frequently with the Chief Executive Officer between Board meetings and providing overall guidance, mentoring and advice to our Chief Executive Officer as well as providing him with insights as to the Board’s views and perspectives. During Mr. Carlson’s tenure, among other matters, Mr. Carlson has focused his attention on the Board’s and committees’ self-evaluation process and setting expectations and providing feedback to management with respect to the Board’s oversight of the Company’s responsible growth, joint ventures and regulatory compliance. Mr. Carlson also ensures that directors have ample opportunities to meet in executive session.

Self-Evaluation

Overseen by the Chair of the Board, our Compensation and Nominating Committee conducts annual performance evaluations to determine whether the Board, its committees, and management are functioning effectively. This evaluation includes survey materials soliciting feedback on a range of issues, including the Board and committee structure and composition, meeting process and dynamics, execution of key responsibilities, interaction with advisors and other parties, such as auditors, and information and resources. The evaluation focuses on the Board’s and the committees’ contributions to the Company, with an enhanced focus on areas in which the Board or management believes that the Board could improve.

As part of the annual Board self-evaluation, the Board evaluates its leadership structure, the skills and composition of the directors and the Board as a whole, and management growth.

Management Succession

The Compensation and Nominating Committee reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to Chief Executive Officer’s compensation and evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives. The Compensation and Nominating Committee recommends to the Board, the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation level or changes to such level based on the evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance and any other factors the Compensation and Nominating Committee deems relevant.

The entire Board works with the Compensation and Nominating Committee to evaluate potential successors to the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer and other officers make available their recommendations and evaluations of potential successors, along with a review of any development plans and recommendations for such individuals. The Board’s review of Chief Executive Officer succession not only encompasses potential successor candidates but also focuses on senior management’s organizational structure. As the Company focuses on responsible growth and increasing capacity at its existing centers, the Board’s review of succession also focuses on an assessment of whether specific duties and responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer could be executed by other members of senior management.

Hedging and Pledging Transactions

Pursuant to our Insider Trading Policy, we prohibit our employees, directors and officers from engaging in hedging or monetizing transactions, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds. Such hedging transactions may permit a director, officer or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

employee to continue to own Company securities obtained through employee benefit plans or otherwise, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the director, officer or employee may no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other stockholders. Additionally, directors, officers and other employees are prohibited from holding our securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging our securities as collateral for a loan.

Risk Oversight

Our Board oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk management, designed to support the achievement of organizational objectives, to improve long-term organizational performance, and to enhance stockholder value. A fundamental part of risk management is not only understanding the most significant risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for a given company. The involvement of our full Board in reviewing our business is an integral aspect of its assessment of the Company’s risk profile and also its determination of what constitutes an appropriate level of risk.

While our full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, it has delegated primary oversight of certain risks to its committees. The Board assesses committee composition so that those directors with most valuable experience managing the risks overseen by the respective committees are members of those committees. Our Audit Committee monitors our major financial risk exposures and cybersecurity risks, and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. . Our Compensation and Nominating Committee oversees the design and implementation of our compensation and benefits programs and policies and monitors the incentives created by these programs and policies to determine whether they encourage excessive risk-taking. Our Compensation and Nominating Committee also assesses the relationship between risk management policies and practices and compensation, and evaluates compensation policies and practices that could mitigate any such risk. Our Compensation and Nominating Committee also oversees other risks related to human capital matters, such as talent development and promotion, and our major corporate governance risks. Our Quality and Compliance Committee oversees compliance with regulatory requirements and the Company’s strategies and progress. Management provides our Quality and Compliance and Audit Committees periodic reports on our compliance programs.

In connection with its reviews of the operations of our business, our full Board addresses the primary risks associated with our business, including growth while maintaining high quality service, regulatory and legal risks, and strategic planning. At this time, the Board believes that having an independent Chair separate from the Chief Executive Officer position, enhances the Board’s independent oversight of management and the Company’s strategic planning and risk mitigation measures at a critical time for the Company’s operations as it returns to growth while maintaining high quality services. Additionally, the Chair of the Board ensures that there is sufficient time on the Board agenda for executive meetings of the Board. Our Board appreciates the evolving nature of our business and industry and is actively involved with monitoring new threats and risks as they emerge. Our Board has also continued to focus on the Company’s response and legal strategy relating to the various legal actions and proceedings the Company currently faces.

Our Board dictates strategy and oversees management’s efforts relating to organic and inorganic growth, including the Company’s efforts to open de novo centers, grow participant enrollment, and form joint ventures, such as the joint venture at our Orlando PACE center with Orlando Health, or pursue acquisition opportunities, such as our acquisition of two PACE centers in California from ConcertoCare during our fiscal year 2024. In addition, our Board closely monitors the development, response, results and strategies relating to routine and non-routine governmental inspections, reviews and audits, working closely with the Quality and Compliance Committee in overseeing and devising strategy with respect to management’s response to such inspections, reviews and audits. The Board also monitors management’s engagement with the appropriate authorities to satisfy federal and state government agencies’ concerns, and most importantly to enhance the quality of care provided.

We are committed to ensuring our Board and its committees are consistently updated on threats to our business and receive consistent updates on risk mitigation processes. At periodic meetings of our Board and its committees, management reports to and seeks guidance from our Board and its committees with respect to what we believe are the most significant risks that could affect our business, such as legal and regulatory risks, privacy and cyber risks, and financial, tax and audit related risks.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The following section provides compensation information pursuant to the scaled disclosure rules applicable to “emerging growth companies” and “smaller reporting companies” under the rules of the SEC and may contain statements regarding future individual and company performance targets and goals. These targets and goals should not be understood to be statements of management’s expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. We specifically caution investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.

We are currently considered an “emerging growth company” and “smaller reporting company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, for purposes of the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure rules. Accordingly, we are required to provide a Summary Compensation Table and an Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table, as well as limited narrative disclosures regarding executive compensation for our last completed fiscal year.

Overview

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for our Chief Executive Officer, and our two most highly compensated officers other than our Chief Executive Officer (collectively, our “Named Executive Officers”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, our Named Executive Officers and their positions were as follows:

•	Patrick Blair, President and Chief Executive Officer;

•	Benjamin Adams, Chief Financial Officer;⁽¹⁾ and

•	Nicole D’Amato, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary.

(1)

On June 30, 2023, the Company appointed Benjamin Adams as its Chief Financial Officer, effective as of July 10, 2023. Mr. Adams replaced Barbara Gutierrez, who stepped down from her role of Chief Financial Officer, effective as of July 10, 2023, and remained employed by the Company as a Senior Advisor to support the transition through September 15, 2023.

The Company’s executive compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers generally consist of a base salary, annual cash bonus opportunities, long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards and other benefits, as described below. As further described below, our Named Executive Officers are also eligible to receive certain payments and benefits upon a termination of employment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of their employment agreements.

Compensation Processes and Procedures

The Compensation and Nominating Committee determines and approves the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, except for our Chief Executive Officer, whose compensation is recommended to the Board by the Compensation and Nominating Committee. During fiscal year 2024, the Compensation and Nominating Committee evaluated our executive compensation programs, including overall compensation and benefits programs and policies, and stayed abreast of broader market practices and trends.

Annually, the Compensation and Nominating Committee evaluates the performance of our Chief Executive Officer based on the corporate goals and objectives relevant to his compensation, which the Board establishes at the start of the respective fiscal year. It is our policy that our Chief Executive Officer does not actively participate in his own performance evaluation undertaken by the Compensation and Nominating Committee, and our Chief Executive Officer and does not recommend his own compensation. The Compensation and Nominating Committee annually reviews and evaluates the Company’s overall compensation philosophy in determining the compensation for our other Named Executive Officers. Such Named Executive Officers do not play any role in decisions affecting their compensation, except for discussing their annual, individual performance goals with our Chief Executive Officer.

Compensation Risk Assessment

In reviewing our compensation programs, the Compensation and Nominating Committee considers whether the programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. During fiscal year 2024, the Compensation and Nominating Committee performed a risk assessment of the Company’s compensation programs, which included a review of the design and features of the programs and also took into consideration compensation philosophy,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

performance management and program governance. After reviewing and discussing the results of the risk assessment, the Compensation and Nominating Committee does not believe that the Company’s compensation programs create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Clawback Policy

We adopted a clawback policy effective as of September 7, 2023 that complies with Nasdaq’s clawback rules promulgated under Section 10D of the Exchange Act. In the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any such financial reporting requirement, our clawback policy requires that covered executives must reimburse the Company, or forfeit, any excess incentive-based compensation received by such covered executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the restatement. Executives covered by the clawback policy include current and former executive officers, as determined by the Compensation and Nominating Committee in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq listing standards. Incentive-based compensation subject to our clawback policy includes any cash or equity compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure. The amount subject to recovery is the excess of the incentive-based compensation received based on the erroneous data over the incentive-based compensation that would have been received had it been based on the restated results. Our clawback policy only applies to incentive-based compensation received on or after the effective date of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608.

Equity Award Grant Practices

The Company does not currently grant new awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments, and generally is not in the practice of granting such awards. The Company has not granted such an award since August 2022. Accordingly, the Company has no specific policy or practice on the timing of such awards in relation to the disclosure of material non-public information by the Company. In the event that the Company determines to grant any such new awards, the Board will evaluate the appropriate steps to take in relation to the foregoing.

While Holdings granted the Named Executive Officers option-like instruments in the form of Profits Interests during fiscal year 2024, such Profits Interests represent partnership interests in Holdings.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Base Salary

Each of our Named Executive Officers is a party to an employment agreement with the Company that provides for the payment of an annualized base salary. The base salary payable to each Named Executive Officer is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting each Named Executive Officer’s skill set, experience, role, responsibilities and contributions. As of the end of fiscal year 2024, the annualized base salary amounts for our Named Executive Officers were as follows: $750,000 for Mr. Blair, $435,000 for Mr. Adams, and $435,000 for Ms. D’Amato.

Annual Bonuses

The Company’s annual bonus incentive plan is a cash-based program that rewards employees for achieving certain pre-established business and financial objectives that are key indications of the Company’s operational performance that the Board believes can drive stockholder value creation. These goals are established at the beginning of the applicable fiscal year and are reviewed and approved by the Compensation and Nominating Committee. For fiscal year 2024, the target bonus amounts for Mr. Blair, Mr. Adams and Ms. D’Amato were equal to 100%, 50% and 60%, respectively, of their base salary. Under the Company’s annual bonus incentive plan for fiscal year 2024, target performance (i.e., 100%) of the applicable pre-established performance objectives was achieved, which resulted in payouts under such plan to our Named Executive Officers as follows: $750,000 for Mr. Blair; $217,500 for Mr. Adams; and $261,000 for Ms. D’Amato.

In addition, in recognition of the achievement by each of Messrs. Blair and Adams and Ms. D’Amato during fiscal year 2024 of certain individual performance goals, which resulted in significant progress achieved by the Company in furtherance of our values and key community initiatives, each of our Named Executive Officers received a discretionary annual cash bonus in respect of fiscal year 2024, as follows: $150,000 for Mr. Blair; $50,500 for Mr. Adams; and $63,000 for Ms. D’Amato.

Equity Compensation

We maintain the InnovAge Holding Corp. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Incentive Plan”) to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, motivating, and rewarding certain employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company and promoting the creation of long-term value for stockholders of the Company by closely aligning the interests of such individuals with those of such stockholders. The Incentive Plan authorizes the award of stock-based and cash-based incentives to eligible service providers to encourage such individuals to expend maximum effort in the creation of stockholder value. In fiscal year 2024, we granted RSUs to certain of our Named Executive Officers that are subject to time-based vesting requirements as set forth in the applicable award agreements. For further information regarding the equity compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers, see “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other Benefits

We currently provide broad-based welfare benefits that are generally available to all of our employees, including our Named Executive Officers, and include health, dental, life, vision and short- and long-term disability insurance.

In addition, we maintain, and the Named Executive Officers participate in, a 401(k) plan, which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and provides eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Under the Company’s 401(k) plan, we match up to 2% of the employee’s eligible earnings. Employees’ pre-tax contributions and our matching contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to the participant’s directions.

We also maintain the InnovAge Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), which is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A of the Code. Pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan, an eligible employee may elect to defer up to 100% of his or her base salary and annual bonus award. All participant deferrals of compensation are 100% vested at all times, and plan assets are distributed upon the participant’s separation from service, either in a lump sum or over a five-year period, as elected by the participant in a manner compliant with Section 409A of the Code. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides for a discretionary employer match up to a maximum of 5% of the participant’s base salary.

Profits Interests

During fiscal year 2021, following the consummation of the transaction between us, Ignite Aggregator LP, and our then-existing equity holders entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement, certain of our executives received awards of Profits Interests pursuant to the TCO Group Holdings, L.P. Equity Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Holdings Incentive Plan”), which are intended to be treated as “profits interests” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Holdings Incentive Plan is administered by the Board of Holdings. The Holdings Board has the authority to administer and interpret the Holdings Incentive Plan, to determine the individuals who are eligible for a grant of the Profits Interests, to determine, alter, amend, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any award of Profits Interests, and to prescribe the purchase price or Hurdle Amount (as defined in the Holdings Incentive Plan) applicable to any award of Profits Interests.

During fiscal year 2024, Mr. Blair, Mr. Adams, and Ms. D’Amato each received a grant of Profits Interests, as follows: Mr. Blair received a grant of 1,100,000 Profits Interests, Mr. Adams received a grant of 863,700 Profits Interests, and Ms. D’Amato received a grant of 250,000 Profits Interests. 50% of such Profits Interests are subject to time-based vesting, vesting annually in substantially equal installments over four years on the first four anniversaries of the applicable vesting commencement date (i.e., July 10, 2023 for Mr. Adams, August 30, 2023 for Mr. Blair, and December 18, 2023 for Ms. D’Amato), subject to continued employment through each such vesting date. The remaining 50% of such Profits Interests are subject to performance-based vesting, and will vest as follows: (i) 33% if, upon the consummation of a Change of Control of Holdings, Ignite Aggregator LP, the vehicle through which Apax Partners holds its investment in TCO Group Holdings, achieves a multiple on invested capital, as calculated pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of TCO Group Holdings (“MOIC”) equal to at least 2x; and (ii) 100% if, upon the consummation of a Change of Control, Ignite Aggregator LP achieves a MOIC equal to at least 2.5x, in each case, subject to continued employment through the date of such Change of Control. None of the performance-based Profits Interests will vest if Ignite Aggregator LP achieves a MOIC less than 2x as of a Change of Control.

The time-based vesting Profits Interests are subject to (A) pro-rata vesting upon a termination without “Cause,” due to death or disability, or for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the applicable employment agreement) that, in each case, occurs prior to the one-year anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date, and (B) 100% acceleration upon a Change of Control of Holdings, subject to continued service through the date of such Change of Control. The performance-based vesting Profits Interests will remain eligible to vest following a termination without “Cause,” due to death or disability, or for “Good Reason” that, in each case, occurs within the 120-day period preceding the execution of a definitive agreement that ultimately results in such Change of Control.

A “Change of Control” of Holdings is generally defined as (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets (including shares of common stock of the Company) of Holdings and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to unaffiliated parties, (b) a merger, reorganization, consolidation or other similar corporate transaction of Holdings as a result of which, unaffiliated parties beneficially own a majority of the outstanding voting securities, and rights to the majority of the residual economic interests in the common equity, of a successor entity, or (c) the acquisition of a majority of the outstanding voting securities, and rights to the majority of the residual economic interests in the common equity, of Holdings by unaffiliated parties.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The employment agreements provide that, upon termination of the Named Executive Officer’s employment by the Company for any reason other than for “Cause,” or by the Named Executive Officer for “Good Reason,” each as defined therein and summarized below, subject to the Named Executive Officer’s (a) execution, delivery and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and (b) continued compliance with restrictive covenants (as further described below), the Named Executive Officer is entitled to the following severance benefits:

For Mr. Adams and Ms. D’Amato, such severance benefits consist of (i) an amount equal to 1x the applicable executive’s (x) base salary plus (y) target annual bonus for the year in which such termination occurs, payable in substantially equal installments over the 12-month period following termination; and (ii) continued payment of premiums required to be paid for the applicable executive’s continued participation in the Company’s health care benefit plan for a period of 12 months following termination, unless the applicable executive becomes employed by another company and eligible for coverage under such company’s health care plans.

Under the Named Executive Officer’s employment agreements, “Cause” generally means any of the applicable executive’s: (i) failure to perform his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company or any of its affiliates that are consistent with such executive’s title and authorities; (ii) material breach of any of the provisions of the employment agreement or any other written agreement between such executive and the Company or any of its affiliates, resulting in material harm to the Company or any of its affiliates; (iii) material breach of any fiduciary duty that such executive has to the Company or any of its affiliates; (iv) gross negligence, intentional misconduct or unethical or improper behavior resulting in material harm to the business, interests or reputation of the Company or any of its affiliates; (v) commission of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; (vi) commission of conduct involving fraud, embezzlement, sexual harassment, material misappropriation of property or other substantial misconduct with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates; (vii) intentional or willful failure to comply with applicable PACE, Medicare or Medicaid rules or regulations; or (viii) failure to comply with the Company’s Code of Conduct or Corporate Compliance Program.

Under the Named Executive Officer’s employment agreements, “Good Reason” generally means the occurrence of any of the following without the applicable executive’s written consent: (i) a material reduction in such executive’s base salary (unless such reduction affects all similarly situated employees of the Company on a proportionate basis); (ii) a requirement that such executive relocate to a location more than 50 miles from the location where such executive is then providing services (provided, that, a relocation shall not include: (A) such executive’s travel for business in the course of performing his duties for the Company or any of its affiliates, (B) such executive working remotely or (C) for Messrs. Blair and Adams, the Company or any of its affiliates requiring such executive to report to the office within their principal place of employment (instead of working remotely)); (iii) a material diminution in the nature or scope of such executive’s duties, authority and/or responsibilities; or (iv) a material breach by the Company of (A) any of the terms of the applicable employment agreement or (B) any other material written agreement between the Company and such executive.

Pursuant to their applicable employment agreement, each Named Executive Officer is subject to non-competition, non-interference, non-solicitation and non-hire covenants during employment and for 24 months (in the case of Mr. Blair) or 12 months (in the case of Mr. Adams and Ms. D’Amato) following termination, as well as perpetual confidentiality and assignment of inventions covenants (provided that, with respect to Ms. D’Amato, the non-competition covenant will not restrict her practice of law following termination). In addition, the employment agreements for Messrs. Blair and Adams provide for a perpetual non-disparagement covenant (which is mutual for Mr. Adams), and Ms. D’Amato’s attached form of release agreement includes a mutual non-disparagement covenant.

Profits Interests

The time-based vesting Profits Interests granted to our Named Executive Officers in fiscal year 2024 are subject to (A) pro-rata vesting upon a termination without “Cause,” due to death or disability, or for

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Good Reason” that, in each case, occurs prior to the one-year anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date, and (B) 100% acceleration upon a Change of Control of Holdings, subject to continued service through the date of such Change of Control. The performance-based vesting Profits Interests will remain eligible to vest following a termination without “cause,” due to death or disability, or for “good reason” that, in each case, occurs within the 120-day period preceding the execution of a definitive agreement that ultimately results in such Change of Control.

Stock Options and RSUs

Pursuant to Mr. Blair’s applicable award agreements, upon a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Incentive Plan), any of his outstanding time-vesting stock options and RSUs will accelerate and fully vest, subject to his continued employment through the date of such Change in Control; provided, that any of Mr. Blair’s outstanding awards granted under the Incentive Plan remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan, which provides that any outstanding awards that are assumed or substituted in connection with such Change in Control will not accelerate and vest unless Mr. Blair also incurs a termination without “cause” within two years following such Change in Control.

Director Compensation

For fiscal year 2024, our non-employee directors, other than directors affiliated with the Principal Shareholders, received the following compensation: (i) an annual cash payment in the amount of $100,000, paid quarterly, in respect of service as a member of the Board and its committees; (ii) if applicable, each chairperson of a committee is entitled to an additional annual cash payment in the amount of $20,000, paid quarterly; and (iii) if applicable, the Chair of the Board is entitled to an additional annual cash payment of $100,000 per year, paid quarterly. Also, Mses. Fontneau and Sparks and Mr. Carlson were each eligible to receive an annual equity award with a grant date fair value of $100,000 in respect of their fiscal year 2024 service, provided in the form of RSUs settled in shares of common stock of the Company, which were tied to their appointment dates. However, due to administrative error, Mr. Carlson did not receive such annual equity award on the originally intended grant date, and in satisfaction of such award, Mr. Carlson was granted 13,334 fully vested shares of our common stock on September 3, 2024, which represents the number of RSUs he would have received on such originally intended grant date.

Starting in fiscal year 2025, all of our non-employee directors, other than directors affiliated with the Principal Shareholders, will receive an annual incentive equity award, with a grant date fair value of $100,000, provided in the form of RSUs settled in shares of common stock of the Company, which will generally vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board through such vesting date; provided, that for Mr. Carlson and Mses. Fontneau and Sparks, their annual RSU awards in respect of fiscal year 2025 (which were granted on September 3, 2024) will vest as follows: (a) for Mr. Carlson, such RSUs will fully vest on June 30, 2025, (b) for Ms. Fontneau, such RSUs will fully vest on March 29, 2025, and (c) for Ms. Sparks, such RSUs will fully vest on August 14, 2025. We also reimburse our non-employee directors for their business expenses incurred in connection with their performance of services.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions

We have adopted a written policy with respect to the review, approval and ratification of related party transactions, with such policy covering any transaction, arrangement, relationship or any series of similar transactions, arrangements, or relationships with the Company as a participant . Under the policy, our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions. In the course of its review and approval of related party transactions, our Audit Committee considers the relevant facts and circumstances to decide whether to approve such transactions. In particular, our policy requires our Audit Committee to consider, among other factors it deems appropriate:

•	the related person’s relationship to us and interest in the transaction;

•	the material facts of the proposed transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of the transaction;

•	the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director or an immediate family member of the director or director nominee;

•	the benefits to us of the proposed transaction

•	if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services; and

•	an assessment of whether the proposed transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an unrelated third party or to employees generally.

The Audit Committee may only approve those transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our stockholders, as the Audit Committee determines in good faith.

In addition, under our Code of Ethics our employees, directors and executive officers must disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest.

Related Party Transactions

Other than compensation arrangements for our directors and named executive officers, which are described in the section entitled “Executive and Director Compensation” elsewhere in this proxy statement, below we describe transactions during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 to which we were a participant or will be a participant, in which:

•	the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; or

•	1% of the average of our total assets at June 30, 2024 and 2023,

and, in which any of our directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of, or person sharing the household with, the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Director Nomination Agreement

In connection with our initial public offering, we entered into a Director Nomination Agreement with the Principal Shareholders that provides each the right to designate nominees for election to our Board. The Principal Shareholders may also assign their designation rights under the Director Nomination Agreement to an affiliate. See “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance—Director Nomination Agreement” for a description of the Director Nomination Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

We are party to a Registration Rights Agreement with the Principal Shareholders pursuant to which the Principal Shareholders are entitled to request that we register the Principal Shareholders’ shares on a long-form or short-form registration statement on one or more occasions in the future, which registrations may in certain circumstances be “shelf registrations.” The Principal Shareholders will also be entitled to participate in certain of our registered offerings, subject to the restrictions in the Registration Rights Agreement. We will pay certain of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Principal Shareholders’ expenses in connection with the Principal Shareholders’ exercise of these rights. The registration rights described in this paragraph apply to (i) shares of our common stock held by the Principal Shareholders and their affiliates and (ii) any of our capital stock (or that of our subsidiaries) issued or issuable with respect to the common stock described in clause (i) with respect to any dividend, distribution, recapitalization, reorganization, or certain other corporate transactions (collectively, “Registrable Securities”). These registration rights are also for the benefit of any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities; provided that any particular securities will cease to be Registrable Securities when they have been sold in a registered public offering, sold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or repurchased by us or our subsidiaries. In addition, with the consent of the Company and holders of a majority of Registrable Securities, any Registrable Securities held by a person other than the Principal Shareholders and their affiliates will cease to be Registrable Securities if they can be sold without limitation under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide the executive officers and directors with contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Additionally, we may enter into (i) indemnification agreements with any new directors or officers that may be broader in scope than the specific indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law and (ii) standard policies of insurance that provide coverage to (1) our directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) us with respect to indemnification payments that we may make to such directors and officers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information about the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of October 11, 2024 for:

•	each person or group known to us who beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock;

•	each of our directors;

•	each of our Named Executive Officers; and

•	all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The numbers of shares of common stock beneficially owned and percentages of beneficial ownership are based on 135,496,056 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 11, 2024.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Common stock subject to options or restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that are currently exercisable or exercisable or will vest within 60 days of October 11, 2024 are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options or RSUs. These shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as disclosed in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all common stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder.

PROPOSAL 2 – RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Services provided to the Company and its subsidiaries by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 are described below and under “Audit Committee Report.”

Fees and Services

The following table summarizes the aggregate fees for professional audit services and other services, if applicable, rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:


	2024	2023
Audit Fees⁽¹⁾	$1,152,916	$1,029,180
Audit-Related Fees⁽²⁾	46,787	42,843
Tax Fees	—	—
All Other Fees	—	—
Total	$1,199,703	$1,072,023

(1)	Consist of fees for the audit and other procedures in connection with the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and the review of our financial statements for the quarterly periods in those fiscal years.

(2)	Includes the aggregate fees for the audit of the annual financial statements of the Company's 401(k) plan.

In considering the nature of the services provided by the independent auditor, the Audit Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit Committee discussed these services with the independent auditor and the Company’s management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit services as well as non-audit services to the extent required by the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent auditor is engaged to perform it. Each year, including in fiscal 2024, the Audit Committee pre-approves audit services, audit-related services and tax services to be used by the Company.

The Audit Committee approved all services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP in fiscal years 2024 and 2023. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and we expect that they will be available to respond to questions.

Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP requires affirmative votes from the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. If the Company’s stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment and may affirm the appointment or retain another independent accounting firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may in the future replace Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm if it is determined that it is in the Company’s best interests to do so.

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2025.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act that might incorporate by reference this proxy statement, in whole or in part, the following report shall not be incorporated by reference into any such filings.

The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process and Enterprise Risk Management program on behalf of the Board. This report reviews the actions taken by the Audit Committee with regard to our financial reporting process during fiscal year 2024.

All of the members of the Audit Committee are independent. None of the committee members is or has been an officer or employee of the Company or any of our subsidiaries or has any current business or any family relationships with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Our management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes and to select annually the accountants to serve as our independent auditors for the coming year.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, including a discussion of the quality, rather than just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent auditors their judgments as to the quality, rather than just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed under the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the auditors their independence from management and the Company, and received the written disclosures and the letter required by the PCAOB regarding the independent auditors’ communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024 for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 3 – APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S SECOND AMENDED AND

RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO PROVIDE FOR THE EXCULPATION OF CERTAIN OFFICERS AS PERMITTED BY DELAWARE LAW

On October 10, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of InnovAge Holding Corp. (the “Company”), unanimously approved and declared advisable, and hereby recommends that our stockholders approve an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to eliminate the personal liability of certain of our officers in limited circumstances, as permitted by recent amendments to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

In August 2022, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL was amended to enable Delaware corporations to limit the liability of certain of their officers in limited circumstances. As amended, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that certain officers, namely: (i) a corporation’s president, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief legal officer, controller, treasurer or chief accounting officer; (ii) an individual identified in public filings as one of the most highly compensated officers of the corporation; and (iii) an individual who, by written agreement with the corporation, has consented to be identified as an officer for purposes of the State of Delaware’s long-arm jurisdiction statute, may be exculpated against liability to the corporation and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, subject to specified limitations and exceptions. Prior to the amendment of Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Delaware corporations were permitted to exculpate only their directors from personal liability in limited circumstances. As a result, stockholder plaintiffs employ tactics of bringing certain claims against individual corporate officers when such claims would otherwise be exculpated and dismissed if brought against a corporation’s directors. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL was amended to rectify the inconsistent treatment between a corporation’s officers and directors and address rising litigation and insurance costs for corporations.

Currently, Section 1 of Article Six of the Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of our directors to the Company and our stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. However, the Board believes it is important to extend those protections to our officers. As with directors, officers frequently must make decisions in response to time-sensitive opportunities and challenges, which can create substantial risk of investigations, claims, actions, suits or proceedings seeking to impose liability on the basis of hindsight. This is especially the case in the current litigious environment where stockholder plaintiffs have employed a tactic of bringing certain claims against officers that would otherwise be exculpated if brought against directors to avoid dismissal of such claims. The proposed amendment would align the protections for our officers with those protections currently afforded to our directors.

In addition, the Board believes the proposed amendment would better position the Company to attract and retain top officer candidates. In the absence of this exculpatory protection, qualified officers might be deterred from serving or continuing to serve as officers due to exposure to personal liability and the risk that substantial expense will be incurred in defending lawsuits, regardless of merit. We expect our peers to adopt exculpation clauses that limit the personal liability of officers in their certificates of incorporation, and failing to adopt the proposed amendment could impact our recruitment and retention of exceptional officer candidates who conclude that the potential exposure to liabilities, costs of defense and other risks of proceedings exceeds the benefits of serving as an officer of the Company.

The Board also took into account the narrow class and type of claims from which such officers would be exculpated from liability pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, as amended, the limited number of our officers that would be impacted and the benefits the Board believes would accrue to the Company by providing exculpation in accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, as amended, including the ability to further enable our officers to best exercise their business judgment in furtherance of stockholder interests.

Given the limited class and type of claims for which certain of our officers’ liability would be eliminated, the fact that it would be consistent with protections already afforded to our directors and the benefits that the Board believes will accrue to the Company and our stockholders as explained above, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders that the Certificate of Incorporation be amended to provide for the exculpation of certain of our officers as permitted by the recent amendments to the DGCL. The amendment would permit exculpation only for direct claims for breach of fiduciary duty but would not eliminate officers’ monetary liability for breach of fiduciary duty claims brought by or in the right of the Company, which would include any claims brought by our stockholders derivatively in the name of the Company. In addition, the amendment would not apply to officers’ breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or

omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law and any transaction in which the officer derived an improper personal benefit. Further, the amendment would not apply to acts or omissions of officers occurring prior to the date when it becomes effective.

The form of Certificate of Amendment to effect the proposed amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation as described above (the “Certificate of Amendment”) is attached herein as Appendix A. If the Certificate of Amendment is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the Certificate of Amendment will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting.

Approval of the Certificate of Amendment requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon. If you abstain from voting on this proposal, while your shares will be considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum for the conduct of business at the Annual Meeting, your abstention will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal because they are not affirmative votes “FOR” the proposal. This proposal is a non-routine matter. As a result, if you are a beneficial owner and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee with respect to this proposal, your shares may constitute broker non-votes, and no votes will be cast on your behalf with respect to this proposal. Accordingly, such broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal because they are not affirmative votes “FOR” the proposal.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO PROVIDE FOR EXCULPATION OF CERTAIN OFFICERS AS PERMITTED BY RECENT AMENDMENTS TO DELAWARE LAW.
