OSCAR HEALTH, INC.
POLICY FOR RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION
Oscar Health, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted this Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (the “Policy”), effective as of October 2, 2023 (the “Effective Date”). Capitalized terms used in this Policy but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 11.
1.Persons Subject to Policy
Subject to Section 5, this Policy shall apply to current and former Officers and Non-Officers. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any Non-Officer who later becomes an Officer shall be treated as an Officer for all purposes of this Policy from and after the date on which such individual becomes an Officer, and (ii) any Officer who later becomes a Non-Officer shall still be treated as an Officer for purposes of this Policy to the extent required by the Applicable Rules.
2.Compensation Subject to Policy
This Policy shall apply to Incentive-Based Compensation received on or after the Effective Date. For purposes of this Policy, when Incentive-Based Compensation is “received” shall be determined under the Applicable Rules, which generally provide that Incentive-Based Compensation is “received” in the Company’s fiscal period during which the relevant Financial Reporting Measure is attained or satisfied, without regard to whether the grant, vesting or payment of the Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that fiscal year.
3.        Recovery of Compensation
In the event that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement, the Company shall recover, reasonably promptly, the portion of any Incentive-Based Compensation that is Erroneously Awarded Compensation, unless the Committee has determined (i) that recovery would be Impracticable in the case of Officers or (ii) that recovery would be Impracticable or would violate applicable law in the case of Non-Officers. Recovery shall be required in accordance with the preceding sentence regardless of whether or not the applicable Officer or Non-Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the need for the Restatement and regardless of whether or when restated financial statements are filed by the Company. For clarity, the recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy shall not be construed to give rise to any person’s right to voluntarily terminate employment for “good reason,” or due to a “constructive termination” (or any similar term of like effect) under any plan, program or policy of or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates.
4.        Manner of Recovery; Limitation on Duplicative Recovery
The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the manner of recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation, which may include, without limitation, reduction or cancellation by the Company or an affiliate of the Company of Incentive-Based Compensation, Erroneously Awarded Compensation or solely time-vesting equity awards, reimbursement or repayment by any person subject to this Policy of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and, to the extent permitted by law, an offset of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation against other compensation payable by the Company or an affiliate of the Company to such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise prohibited by the Applicable Rules, to the extent this Policy provides for recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation already recovered by the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or Other Recovery Arrangements, the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation already recovered by the Company from the recipient of such Erroneously Awarded Compensation may be credited to the

1




amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation required to be recovered pursuant to this Policy from such person.
5.        Administration
This Policy shall be administered, interpreted and construed by the Committee, which is authorized to make all determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for such purpose. The Board may re-vest in itself the authority to administer, interpret and construe this Policy in accordance with applicable law, and in such event references herein to the “Committee” shall be deemed to be references to the Board. Subject to any permitted review by NYSE pursuant to the Applicable Rules, all determinations and decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of this Policy shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company and its affiliates, stockholders and employees. The Committee may delegate administrative duties with respect to this Policy to one or more directors or employees of the Company, as permitted under applicable law, including any Applicable Rules.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except to the extent that the Applicable Rules require the application of the Policy to such person, the Committee may determine in its sole discretion not to apply this Policy (or any portion hereof) to any Non-Officer, including without limitation with respect to the recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation from such Non-Officer.
6.        Interpretation
This Policy shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of the Applicable Rules, and to the extent this Policy conflicts with such Applicable Rules, it shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to ensure compliance therewith.
7.        No Indemnification; No Liability
The Company shall not indemnify or insure any person against the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation pursuant to this Policy, nor shall the Company directly or indirectly pay or reimburse any person for any premiums for third-party insurance policies that such person may elect to purchase to fund the recovery or repayment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy. None of the Company, an affiliate of the Company or any member of the Committee or the Board shall have any liability to any person as a result of actions taken under this Policy.
8.        No Limitation; No Exclusivity
Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board, the adoption of this Policy does not limit, and is intended to apply in addition to, any other clawback, recoupment, forfeiture or similar policies or provisions of the Company or its affiliates, including any such policies or provisions of such effect contained in any employment agreement, bonus plan, incentive plan, equity-based plan or award agreement thereunder or similar plan, program or agreement of the Company or an affiliate or required under applicable law (the “Other Recovery Arrangements”). The remedy specified in this Policy shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy at law or in equity that may be available to the Company or an affiliate of the Company.
9.    Severability
The provisions in this Policy are intended to be applied to the fullest extent of the law; provided, however, that to the extent any provision of this Policy is found to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, the remainder of this Policy shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Policy will be applied to the maximum extent permitted, and shall automatically be deemed

2



amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required under applicable law.
10.    Amendment and Termination
The Board or the Committee may amend, modify or terminate this Policy in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion. This Policy will terminate automatically when the Company does not have a class of securities listed on the NYSE.
