PROXY STATEMENT

FOR 2020 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on May 19, 2020

This proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) and form of proxy are being provided to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held on May 19, 2020 at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time, via live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LVGO2020. Stockholders of record as of March 23, 2020 are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are entitled to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement.

The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) is first being mailed on or about April 6, 2020 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

The information provided in the “question and answer” format below addresses certain frequently asked questions but is not intended to be a summary of all matters contained in this Proxy Statement. Please read the entire Proxy Statement carefully before voting your shares.

Why am I receiving these materials?

Our board of directors is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with our board of directors’ solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting, which will take place on May 19, 2020. Stockholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement.

Instead of mailing printed copies of our proxy materials to our stockholders, we have elected to provide access to them through the Internet under the “notice and access” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials via the Internet, including this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report, as filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020. The Notice includes information on how to access the proxy materials, how to submit your vote over the Internet, by phone or how to request a paper copy of the proxy materials. This Proxy Statement and the Annual Report are available at www.proxyvote.com. If you receive a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail unless you specifically request these materials.

We believe that using “notice and access” expedites stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, reduces our print and mail costs as well as the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting. However, if you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice or refer to the section entitled “I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?” below for additional information.

Table of Contents

What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting and how does our board of directors recommend that I vote?

The two proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting and our board of directors’ voting recommendations with respect to each are:

 

Proposal

     

Board’s Voting
Recommendation

1.  Election of Directors (Proposal No. 1): The election of Christopher Bischoff and Sandra Fenwick as Class I directors to hold office until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

    FOR

2.  Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Proposal No. 2): The ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

    FOR

At the time this Proxy Statement was mailed, our management and board of directors were not aware of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Holders of our common stock at the close of business on March 23, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held as of the Record Date. As of the Record Date, there were 97,146,239 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Stockholders are not permitted to cumulate votes with respect to the election of directors.

How many votes are needed for approval of each proposal?

 

  1.

Proposal No. 1: The election of Class I directors requires a plurality vote of the shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. Plurality means that the two nominees who receive the most FOR votes will be elected. Withhold votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

 

  2.

Proposal No. 2: The ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the proposal.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Stockholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If, at the close of business on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., our transfer agent, then you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote on your own behalf at the Annual Meeting.

Table of Contents

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Nominee. If, at the close of business on the Record Date, your shares were held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee on your behalf, then you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions your broker, bank or other nominee provides. If you do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee may, in its discretion, vote your shares with respect to routine matters but may not vote your shares with respect to any non-routine matters. Proposal No. 2 related to the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is the only routine matter. For additional information, see “What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?” below.

Do I have to do anything in advance if I plan to attend the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be a virtual audio meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted via live audio webcast. You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting only if you were a holder of our common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting.

You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting and submit your questions during the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LVGO2020. You also will be able to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting.

To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the control number included on your Notice or proxy card. The live audio webcast will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 8:45 a.m., Pacific Time, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

How can I get help if I have trouble checking in or listening to the meeting online?

If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Virtual Shareholder Meeting log-in page.

How do I vote and what are the voting deadlines?

You may vote via the Internet. To vote via the Internet, go to www.proxyvote.com to complete an electronic proxy card.

You may vote at the Annual Meeting. To vote at the meeting, following the instructions at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LVGO2020 (have your Notice or proxy card in hand when you visit the website).

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Nominee. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares. The availability of Internet and telephone voting options will depend on the voting process of your broker, bank or other nominee.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

Stockholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy or change your proxy instructions at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting by:

 

   

entering a new vote by Internet or telephone;

 

   

signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date;

 

   

delivering a written revocation to our Secretary at Livongo Health, Inc., 444 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 3400, Chicago, Illinois 60611, by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 18, 2020; or

 

   

following the instructions at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LVGO2020.

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Nominee. If you are the beneficial owner of your shares, you must contact the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares and follow their instructions to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

When a proxy is properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. Glen Tullman, Zane Burke and Jennifer Schneider have been designated as proxy holders by our board of directors. If no specific instructions are given; however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors. If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed, the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date, unless you have properly revoked your proxy, as described above.

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

Stockholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If you are a stockholder of record and you submit a proxy but you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

 

  1.

FOR the election of each of the two directors nominated by our board of directors and named in this proxy statement as Class I directors to serve for a three-year term (Proposal No. 1);

 

  2.

FOR the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 (Proposal No. 2); and

Table of Contents
  3.

in the discretion of the named proxy holders regarding any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Nominee. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares with voting instructions, then your broker, bank or other nominee will determine if it has discretion to vote on each matter. Brokers do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters. Proposal No. 1 (election of directors) is a non-routine matter, while Proposal No. 2 (ratification of appointment of independent registered public accounting firm) is a routine matter. As a result, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, then your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote your shares with respect to Proposal No. 1, which would result in a “broker non-vote,” but may, in its discretion, vote your shares with respect to Proposal No. 2. For additional information regarding broker non-votes, see “What are the effects of abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes?” below.

What are the effects of abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes?

An abstention represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. If a stockholder indicates on its proxy card that it wishes to abstain from voting its shares or withholds votes as to a particular proposal, or if a broker, bank or other nominee holding its customers’ shares of record causes abstentions or withheld votes to be recorded for shares, these shares will be considered present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As a result, abstentions and withheld votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and will also count as votes against a proposal in cases where approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (e.g., Proposal No. 2). However, because the outcome of Proposal No. 1 (election of directors) will be determined by a plurality vote, abstentions and withheld votes will have no impact on the outcome of such proposal as long as a quorum exists.

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to such proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes present and entitled to vote or votes cast. Therefore, a broker non-vote will make a quorum more readily attainable but will not otherwise affect the outcome of the vote on any proposal.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual Meeting for the meeting to be properly held under our bylaws and Delaware law. The presence (including by proxy) of a majority of all issued and outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. As noted above, as of the Record Date, there were a total of 97,146,239 shares of our common stock outstanding, which means that 48,573,120 shares of our common stock must be represented at the Annual Meeting to have a quorum. If there is no quorum, (i) the chairperson of the meeting or (ii) a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting to a later date.

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting and who is paying for such solicitation?

Our board of directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting by means of the proxy materials. We will bear the entire cost of proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly,

Table of Contents

printing, mailing and distribution of the proxy materials. Copies of solicitation materials will also be made available upon request to brokers, banks and other nominees to forward to the beneficial owners of the shares held of record by such brokers, banks or other nominees. The original solicitation of proxies may be supplemented by solicitation by telephone, electronic communication, or other means by our directors, officers, employees or agents. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services, although we may reimburse such individuals for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. We do not plan to retain a proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote over the Internet, you are responsible for Internet access charges you may incur. If you choose to vote by telephone, you are responsible for telephone charges you may incur.

What does it mean if I received more than one Notice?

If you receive more than one Notice, you hold shares that may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Notice to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

We have adopted an SEC-approved procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, we will deliver only one copy of our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, and for those stockholders that received a paper copy of proxy materials in the mail, one copy of our Annual Report and this Proxy Statement, to multiple stockholders who share the same address (if they appear to be members of the same family) unless we have received contrary instructions from an affected stockholder. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards if they received a paper copy of proxy materials in the mail. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the proxy materials and annual report to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy, or, if you are receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of next year’s proxy materials and annual report, you may contact us as follows:

Livongo Health, Inc.

Attention: Secretary

444 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 3400

Chicago, Illinois 60611

(866) 435-5643

Stockholders who hold shares in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other nominee to request information about householding.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K that will be filed within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us at that time, we will file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an amendment to the Form 8-K to publish the final results.

For a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, our Secretary must receive the written proposal not later than December 7, 2020. In addition, stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Stockholder proposals should be addressed to:

Livongo Health, Inc.

Attention: Secretary

444 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 3400

Chicago, Illinois 60611

Our bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement. Our bylaws provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting is business that is (i) specified in our proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors, or (iii) properly brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting who has delivered timely written notice to our Secretary, which notice must contain the information specified in our bylaws. To be timely for our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, our Secretary must receive the written notice at our principal executive offices not earlier than January 21, 2021 and not later than February 20, 2021.

In the event that we hold our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the first anniversary of the date of the Annual Meeting, then notice of a stockholder proposal that is not intended to be included in our proxy statement must be received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the 2020 annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made.

If a stockholder who has notified us of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting does not appear to present his, her or its proposal at such annual meeting, we are not required to present the proposal for a vote at such annual meeting.

Nomination of Director Candidates

You may recommend director candidates for consideration by our nominating and corporate governance committee. Any such recommendations should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for membership on our board of directors and should be directed to our Secretary at the address set forth above.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our business is managed under the direction of our board of directors, which is currently comprised of seven members. Five of our seven directors are independent within the meaning of the independent director requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Our board of directors is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms.

Director Independence

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Stock Market. Under the listing standards of Nasdaq, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors within a specified period after the completion of its initial public offering. In addition, the listing standards of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent. Audit committee members and compensation committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 and Rule 10C-1, respectively, under the Exchange Act. Under the listing standards of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 and under the listing standards of Nasdaq, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, board of directors, or any other board committee, (i) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1 and under the listing standards of Nasdaq, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the member of the compensation committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether the director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to, (i) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the company to such director, and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that Mses. Daniel and Fenwick and Messrs. Bischoff, Green, and Taneja do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the

Table of Contents

Company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” In addition, our board of directors has determined that all members of our audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees are independent.

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Board Leadership Structure

In 2019, Mr. Tullman, our former Chief Executive Officer, was appointed as Executive Chairman of our board of directors. In this role, in addition to serving as the Chairman of our board of directors, Mr. Tullman will continue to serve as an executive officer. The Executive Chairman position is separate and distinct from the position of Chief Executive Officer, which is currently filled by Mr. Burke. We believe separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on the management of our day-to-day business, while allowing our Executive Chairman to focus on external and corporate strategy and investor relations efforts, as well as providing guidance to our Chief Executive Officer.

In order to provide the benefit of independent leadership to enhance the effectiveness of our board of directors’ oversight role, our board of directors has also appointed Mr. Green to serve as our Lead Independent Director. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. Green presides at all meetings of the board of directors at which the Executive Chairman is not present, presides over executive sessions of our independent directors, serves as a liaison between our Executive Chairman and our independent directors, and performs such additional duties as our board of directors may otherwise determine and delegate. Our board of directors will continue to evaluate this leadership structure on an ongoing basis based on factors such as the experience of the applicable individuals and the current business environment.

Board and Stockholder Meetings and Committees

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, our board of directors held 11 meetings (including regularly scheduled and special meetings), and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our board of directors held during the period for which he or she served as a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our board of directors on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served.

We strongly encourage, but do not require, our directors to attend our annual meeting of stockholders. This is our first annual meeting of stockholders.

Table of Contents

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, which are standing committees of the board of directors. Each of our standing committees operates under a written charter that complies with the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Each of the charters is posted on our investor relations website at ir.livongo.com in the “Governance” section under “Governance Documents.” The current membership of our committees, each committee’s responsibilities and the number of meetings held by each committee in fiscal year 2019 are set forth below.

During 2019, our compensation committee held six meetings.

of the Company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee.

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees

Our nominating and corporate governance committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating potential director candidates. In its evaluation of director candidates, including the current directors eligible for re-election, our nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the current size and composition of our board of directors and the needs of our board of directors and the respective committees of our board of directors. Some of the qualifications that our nominating and corporate governance committee considers include, without limitation, experience of particular relevance to us and the board of directors, accomplishments, superior credentials, independence, area of expertise, and the highest ethical and moral standards. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the nominating and corporate governance committee also considers the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the board of directors and the Company. Although our board of directors does not maintain a specific policy with respect to board diversity, our board of directors believes that the board should be a diverse body, and the nominating and corporate governance committee considers a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. In making determinations regarding nominations of directors, the nominating committee may take into account such factors as gender, race, ethnicity, differences in professional background, education, skill, and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experience represented on the board of directors. Any search firm retained by our nominating and corporate governance committee to find director candidates would be instructed to take into account all of the considerations used by our nominating and corporate governance committee. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our nominating and corporate governance committee recommends to our full board of directors the director nominees for selection.

Stockholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors

Our nominating and corporate governance committee will consider candidates for director recommended by stockholders of the Company who are stockholders of record at the time of the submission of the director recommendation and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting, so long as such recommendations comply with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the SEC. The nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate such recommendations in accordance with its charter, our amended and restated bylaws, our policies and procedures for director candidates, as well as the regular director nominee criteria described above. This process is designed to ensure that our board of directors includes members with diverse backgrounds, skills and experience, including appropriate financial and other expertise relevant to our business.

A stockholder that wants to recommend a candidate for election to our board of directors should direct the recommendation in writing to the Company, attention of the Secretary at Livongo Health, Inc., 444 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 3400, Chicago, Illinois 60611. The recommendation must include the candidate’s name, age, home and business contact information, detailed biographical data, relevant qualifications, a signed letter from the candidate confirming willingness to serve, information regarding any relationships between the candidate and the Company and evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of our capital stock. Such recommendation must also include a statement from the recommending stockholder in support of the candidate, particularly within the context of the criteria for membership on our board of directors.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Interested parties wishing to communicate with our non-employee directors may do so by writing to the board of directors or to the particular member or members of our board of directors and sending the correspondence by registered or overnight mail to our General Counsel at Livongo Health, Inc., 444 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 3400, Chicago, Illinois 60611. Each communication should set forth the name and address of the stockholder, as it appears on the Company’s books, and if the Company’s common stock is held by a nominee, the name and address of the beneficial owner of the Company’s common stock, and the class and number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are owned of record by the record holder and beneficially by the beneficial owner. Our General Counsel, in consultation with appropriate members of our board of directors, as necessary, will review all incoming communications and, if appropriate, all such communications will be forwarded to the appropriate member or members of our board of directors, or if none is specified, to the Executive Chairman of our board of directors.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Conduct

Our board of directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of our directors and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable to us in general. In addition, our board of directors has adopted a code of conduct (“Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Code of Conduct is posted on our investor relations webpage at ir.livongo.com in the “Governance” section under “Governance Documents.” We intend to post any amendments to our Code of Conduct, and any waivers of our Code of Conduct for directors and executive officers, on the same website or in filings under the Exchange Act.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Such risks include, among others, strategic, financial, business and operational, cybersecurity, legal and regulatory compliance, and reputational risks. Our board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the board of directors as a whole, as well as through its standing committees that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure. Our audit committee is responsible for reviewing and discussing our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. In addition to oversight of the performance of our external audit function, our audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and reviews related party transactions. Our compensation committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. Our nominating and corporate governance committee monitors the effectiveness of our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Hedging Policy

Transactions in derivative securities may reflect a short-term and speculative interest in our securities and may create the appearance of impropriety. Trading in derivatives may also focus attention on short-term performance at the expense of our long-term objectives. Therefore, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits our directors, officers and employees from engaging in transactions to hedge ownership of our common stock, including publicly-traded options, such as puts and calls, and other derivative securities with respect to our common stock. Stock options, stock appreciation rights and other securities issued pursuant to our benefit plans or other compensatory arrangements with us are not subject to this prohibition.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

In March 2020, our board of directors approved a new compensation policy for our non-employee directors that is intended to provide a compensation package that enables us to attract and retain qualified and experienced individuals to serve as directors and to align our directors’ interests with those of our stockholders. The director compensation policy was developed based on competitive data and compensation levels at comparable companies identified by our independent consultant firm Compensia, Inc. (“Compensia”). After careful consideration of this information and the scope of the duties and responsibilities of our non-employee directors, our board of directors approved the outside director compensation policy described below. We believe this policy provides reasonable compensation to our non-employee directors that is commensurate with their contributions and appropriately aligned with our peers.

Each non-employee director will be entitled to receive the following cash compensation for service in the following positions:

 

Position

   Annual Retainer  

Board Member

   $ 25,000  

Lead Independent Director

   $ 10,000  

Audit Committee Chair

   $ 10,000  

Audit Committee Member

   $ 5,000  

Compensation Committee Chair

   $ 8,000  

Compensation Committee Member

   $ 5,000  

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair

   $ 4,000  

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Member

   $ 2,000  

We also reimburse our directors for expenses associated with attending meetings of our board of directors and committees of our board of directors.

In addition, each non-employee director will be entitled to receive the following equity awards for board service:

 

  1.

Initial restricted stock unit (“RSU”) grant with a target value of $150,000 pro-rated from the date of appointment or election (automatically granted on the effective date of appointment or election) based on the number of full months of service in such quarter. These RSUs vest on the Company’s regular quarterly vesting dates in equal quarterly installments over the remainder of the year of appointment in advance of the next annual meeting of stockholders; and

 

  2.

Annual RSU grant with target value of $150,000 (automatically granted at the annual meeting). These RSUs vest on the Company’s regular quarterly vesting dates in four equal quarterly installments over a one-year period.

The number of RSUs for each of the initial and annual RSU grants will be determined by dividing the target value by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the calendar month prior to the grant date, rounded up to the nearest share.

All cash payments to non-employee directors will be paid quarterly in arrears. A non-employee director who served in the relevant capacity during only a portion of the prior fiscal quarter will receive a pro-rated payment of the quarterly payment of the applicable cash retainer based on the number of full months of service in such quarter.

In 2019, we did not have a formal policy with respect to compensation payable to our non-employee directors for service as directors. From time to time, we granted equity awards to

Table of Contents

certain non-employee directors to entice them to join our board of directors and for their continued service on our board of directors. From time to time, we also committed to provide stipends of $2,500 to certain non-employee directors on a per-meeting attended basis. We also reimbursed our directors for expenses associated with attending meetings of our board of directors and committees of our board of directors. During 2019, our non-employee directors did not receive any cash compensation for their services as directors or as board committee members.

Our employee directors, Messrs. Tullman and Burke, have not received any compensation for their service as directors. Mr. Shapiro, who previously served as an employee director until April 2019, also did not receive any compensation for his service as a director. See the section titled “Executive Compensation” for additional information about the compensation of Messrs. Tullman, Burke and Shapiro.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our board of directors is currently composed of seven members. In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. One Class is elected each year at the annual meeting of stockholders for a term of three years. At the Annual Meeting, two Class I directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the same Class whose term is then expiring. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of such director’s successor, or such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Nominees

Our board of directors has nominated Christopher Bischoff and Sandra Fenwick for election as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. If elected, each of Mr. Bischoff and Ms. Fenwick will serve as Class I directors until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal. Each of the nominees is currently a director of the Company. For information concerning the nominees, see the section titled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance.”

If you are a stockholder of record and you sign your proxy card or vote over the Internet or by telephone but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted FOR the election of Mr. Bischoff and Ms. Fenwick. Mr. Bischoff and Ms. Fenwick have each consented to being named as a nominee for director and agreed to continue to serve if elected; however, in the event that a director nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by our board of directors to fill such vacancy. If you are a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock and you do not give voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, then your broker, bank or other nominee will leave your shares unvoted on this matter.

Vote Required

The election of Class I directors requires a plurality vote of the shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. Accordingly, the two nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE TWO DIRECTORS NOMINATED BY OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND NAMED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT AS CLASS I DIRECTORS TO SERVE FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Processes and Procedures for Compensation Decisions

Our compensation committee is responsible for the executive compensation programs for our executive officers and reports to our board of directors on its discussions, decisions and other actions. Typically, our chief executive officer makes recommendations to our compensation committee, often attends committee meetings and is involved in the determination of compensation for the respective executive officers who report to him, except that our chief executive officer does not make recommendations as to his own compensation. Our chief executive officer makes recommendations to our compensation committee regarding short- and long-term compensation for all executive officers (other than himself) based on our results, an individual executive officer’s contribution toward these results and performance toward individual goal achievement. Our compensation committee then reviews the recommendations and other data. Our compensation committee makes decisions as to total compensation for each executive officer, although it may instead make recommendations to our board of directors regarding executive compensation.

Our compensation committee is authorized to retain the services of one or more executive compensation advisors, as it sees fit, in connection with the establishment of our compensation programs and related policies. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, our compensation committee retained Compensia, an independent compensation consultant, to provide it with information, recommendations and other advice relating to executive compensation on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, Compensia now serves at the discretion of our compensation committee. Our compensation committee engaged Compensia to assist in developing an appropriate group of peer companies to help us determine the appropriate level of overall compensation for our executive officers, as well as assess each separate element of compensation, with a goal of ensuring that the compensation we offer to our executive officers is competitive and fair.

Our compensation committee periodically, and at least annually, considers and assesses Compensia’s independence, including whether Compensia has any potential conflicts of interest with the Company or members of the compensation committee. In connection with its engagement in 2019, our compensation committee conducted such a review in 2019. Based on that review, our compensation committee concluded that it was not aware of any conflict of interest that had been raised by work performed by Compensia or the individual consultants employed by Compensia that perform services for the compensation committee.

Our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which consist of our principal executive officer, our former principal executive officer and the next two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2019 are:

Mr. Shapiro’s employment agreement provides for no specific term and Mr. Shapiro is an at-will employee. His employment agreement provides that we or Mr. Shapiro may terminate his employment at any time for any reason, provided that Mr. Shapiro provides us 30 days prior written notice with respect to any resignation by him. If Mr. Shapiro’s employment is terminated by us without cause (and other than due to his death or disability) or by him for good reason, then, subject to a release of claims in our favor, and Mr. Shapiro’s continued compliance with the restrictive covenants applicable to him (including certain confidentiality obligations and a covenant to not solicit our service providers, customers, and potential customers for a period of one year after the date his employment terminates), Mr. Shapiro will receive nine months of continued base salary severance following termination of his employment.

For purposes of the foregoing descriptions of each executive employment arrangement, all defined terms, including the terms “cause,” “good reason” and “Sale of the Company,” have the meanings set forth in the applicable agreement.

Executive Incentive Compensation Plan

Our board of directors has adopted our Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“Bonus Plan”). The Bonus Plan is administered by our compensation committee unless and until our board of directors

Table of Contents

determines otherwise. The Bonus Plan allows our compensation committee to provide cash incentive awards to selected employees, including our named executive officers, determined by our compensation committee, based upon performance goals established by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee, in its sole discretion, will establish a target award for each participant under the Bonus Plan, which may be expressed as a percentage of the participant’s average annual base salary for the applicable performance period, a fixed dollar amount, or such other amount or based on such other formula as our compensation committee determines to be appropriate.

Under the Bonus Plan, our compensation committee will determine the performance goals applicable to awards, which goals may include, without limitation, attainment of research and development milestones, bookings, business divestitures and acquisitions, cash flow, cash position, contract awards or backlog, customer renewals, customer retention rates from an acquired company, subsidiary, business unit or division, earnings (which may include earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before taxes, and net taxes), earnings per share, expenses, gross margin, growth in stockholder value relative to the moving average of the S&P 500 Index or another index, internal rate of return, market share, net income, net profit, net sales, new product development, new product invention or innovation, number of customers, operating cash flow, operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, overhead or other expense reduction, product defect measures, product release timelines, productivity, profit, retained earnings, return on assets, return on capital, return on equity, return on investment, return on sales, revenue, revenue growth, sales results, sales growth, stock price, time to market, total stockholder return, working capital, and individual objectives such as peer reviews or other subjective or objective criteria. As determined by our compensation committee, the performance goals may be based on generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or non-GAAP results and any actual results may be adjusted by our compensation committee for one-time items or unbudgeted or unexpected items and/or payments of actual awards under the Bonus Plan when determining whether the performance goals have been met. The goals may be on the basis of any factors our compensation committee determines relevant, and may be on an individual, divisional, business unit, segment or company-wide basis. Any criteria used may be measured on such basis as our compensation committee determines. The performance goals may differ from participant to participant and from award to award. Our compensation committee also may determine that a target award or a portion thereof will not have a performance goal associated with it but instead will be granted (if at all) in the compensation committee’s sole discretion.

Our compensation committee may, in its sole discretion and at any time, increase, reduce or eliminate a participant’s actual award, or increase, reduce or eliminate the amount allocated to the bonus pool. The actual award may be below, at or above a participant’s target award, in our compensation committee’s discretion. Our compensation committee may determine the amount of any increase, reduction or elimination on the basis of such factors as it deems relevant, and it will not be required to establish any allocation or weighting with respect to the factors it considers.

Actual awards generally will be paid in cash (or its equivalent) in a single lump sum only after they are earned and approved by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee has the right, in its sole discretion, to settle an actual award with a grant of an equity award under our then-current equity compensation plan, which equity award may have such terms and conditions, including vesting, as our compensation committee determines in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise determined by our compensation committee, to earn an actual award, a participant must be employed by us (or an affiliate of us, as applicable) through the date the bonus is paid. Payment of bonuses occurs as soon as administratively practicable after the end of the applicable performance period, but no later than the dates set forth in the Bonus Plan.

Our board of directors has the authority to amend or terminate the Bonus Plan provided such action does not alter or impair the existing rights of any participant with respect to any earned bonus without

the participant’s consent. The Bonus Plan will remain in effect until terminated in accordance with the terms of the Bonus Plan.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a tax-qualified retirement savings plan (the “401(k) plan”) for the benefit of our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our 401(k) plan provides eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Under our 401(k) plan, eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation, within the limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), on a pre-tax or after-tax (Roth) basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. Participants in our 401(k) plan are able to defer up to 95% of their eligible compensation subject to applicable annual Code limits. All participants’ interests in their deferrals are 100% vested when contributed. The 401(k) plan permits us to make matching contributions and profit-sharing contributions to eligible participants. The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, pre-tax contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those pre-tax contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan, and earnings on Roth contributions are not taxable when distributed from the 401(k) plan.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 23, 2020 for (i) each of our named executive officers, (ii) each of our directors and nominees for director, (iii) all of our executive officers and directors as a group, and (iv) each person, or group of affiliated persons, who beneficially owned more than 5% of our common stock.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

We have based our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership on 97,146,239 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 23, 2020. We have deemed shares of our common stock subject to stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 23, 2020, or issuable pursuant to RSUs which are subject to vesting conditions expected to occur within 60 days of March 23, 2020, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the stock option or RSU for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Livongo Health, Inc., 150 West Evelyn Avenue, Suite 150, Mountain View, California 94041.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We describe below transactions and series of similar transactions, since the beginning of our last fiscal year, to which we were a party or will be a party, in which (i) the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and (ii) any of our directors, nominees for director, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals or entities (each, a related person), had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Concurrent Secondary Sale

Kinnevik Online AB, which is affiliated with Kinnevik Internet Lux S.à.r.l. and a member of our board of directors, and GC Venture LH, LLC, which is affiliated with a member of our board of directors, entered into an agreement on July 15, 2019 to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,027,508 shares of our common stock from Merck Global Health Innovation Fund, LLC in a secondary sale at a price per share equal to the initial public offering price. Kinnevik Internet Lux S.à.r.l. is a holder of more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock. The shares purchased in the secondary sale were subject to a lock-up agreement with the underwriters for a period of 180 days after the date of our initial public offering (“IPO”). The transaction closed immediately following our IPO. We waived the transfer restrictions in our bylaws and our right of first refusal in connection with this secondary sale.

Participation in Our Initial Public Offering

Kinnevik Online AB, which is affiliated with Kinnevik Internet Lux S.à.r.l. and a member of our board of directors, purchased 150,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the IPO at the initial public offering price. Kinnevik Internet Lux S.à.r.l. is a holder of more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock. The underwriters received the same discount from any shares sold to Kinnevik Online AB as from any other shares sold by us to the public in the IPO.

Leased Property

In January 2019, 7Wire Management, LLC, an entity affiliated with 7Wire Ventures, assigned its commercial lease for an office facility in Chicago, Illinois to us. 7Wire Ventures is a holder of more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock, and Mr. Tullman, our Executive Chairman and a member of our board of directors, and Mr. Shapiro, our Chief Financial Officer, are managing partners at 7Wire Ventures. In connection with this lease assignment, we assumed all rights and obligations under the original lease agreement. In addition, we entered into a sublease, which commenced in February 2019, with 7Wire Management, LLC, pursuant to which 7Wire Management, LLC will sublease a portion of such office facility. Pursuant to the terms of our sublease agreement with 7Wire Management, LLC for this property, the aggregate total monthly payment by 7Wire Management, LLC for the first year of the sublease term is approximately $5,532. The total monthly payment payable by 7Wire Management, LLC is calculated based on its pro rata usage of the facilities, multiplied by the market price of the lease. The aggregate monthly payment by 7Wire Management, LLC will be adjusted annually pursuant to the terms of the sublease agreement. The term of the sublease expires on December 31, 2024.

Other Transactions

Other than as described above under this section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions,” since January 1, 2019, we have not entered into any transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, between us and a related party where the amount involved exceeds, or would exceed, $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We believe the terms of the transactions described above were comparable to terms we could have obtained in arm’s-length dealings with unrelated third parties.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

We have adopted a formal written policy providing that our audit committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving “related party transactions,” which are transactions between us and related persons in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year and in which a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Our policy regarding transactions between us and related persons provides that a related person is defined as a director, executive officer or nominee for director, in each case since the beginning of the most recently completed year, greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock and any of their immediate family members or entities controlled or significantly influenced by them. Our audit committee charter provides that our audit committee shall review and approve or disapprove any related party transactions. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, our audit committee will consider, among other factors, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, whether there are business reasons for us to enter into the related party transaction, whether the related party transaction would impair the independence of an outside director, and whether the related party transaction is fair to us or would present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer.

OTHER MATTERS

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Such directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

SEC regulations require us to identify in this Proxy Statement anyone who filed a required report late during the most recent fiscal year. Based on our review of forms we received, or written representations from reporting persons stating that they were not required to file these forms, we believe that during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were satisfied on a timely basis, with the exception of two late reportable Form 4 transactions for Mr. Pursley filed on January 23, 2020, in connection with the net settlement of restricted stock units.
