 Executive Summary  Section 1 
 

 Executive Summary  Engagement Overview and Transaction  Engagement Overview  The Special Committee has requested that Lincoln render an opinion (the “Opinion”) as to whether the Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be received in the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement, as defined herein) by the Public Stockholders (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in respect of the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) held thereby, other than any Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Public Stockholders.  Transaction  We understand that the Company proposes to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with NH Holdings 2025, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and NH Holdings Acquisition 2025, Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (which transaction constitutes the Merger), with the Company surviving the Merger. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.  As more fully described in the Merger Agreement, Lincoln understands that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as a result of the Merger, each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (other than any Excluded Shares and any Dissenting Shares) shall automatically be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $7.33, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).  Further, in connection with the Merger and as more fully described in the Merger Agreement, (i) certain stockholders of the Company will roll over their shares of capital stock of the Company pursuant to the Rollover Agreements to be entered into with Ultimate Parent in exchange for certain equity interests of Ultimate Parent; and (ii) certain investors will agree to provide equity financing pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter and to guarantee the payment of the liabilities and obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement pursuant to the Limited Guaranty.  6

 Executive Summary  Valuation Analysis Summary – Company Common Stock  As of September 30, 2024  Provided by Management. See Appendix A for detail  The intrinsic value calculation below allocates the equity value available to holders of preferred stock and Company Common Stock, first to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, on a pari passu basis, and second to the Company Common Stock, after the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock is satisfied. This calculation results in zero value to Company Common Stock.  Further, Lincoln allocated equity value using an option pricing methodology which ascribes option value to the Company Common Stock despite its intrinsic value of zero. This methodology is more fully explained on page 12.  Valuation Analysis Summary  ($ in millions, except per share values)  DCF Analysis  Selected Public  Companies Analysis  Low  High  Low  High   Preference (1)  Series A Preferred Stock $859  ($694)  -  ($805)  ($633)  -  ($768)  Series B Preferred Stock 193  (156)  -  (181)  (142)  -  (172)  Total Preferred Stock 1,052  (849)  -  (986)  (774)  -  (941)  Company Common Stock  $0  -  $0  $0  -  $0  Allocation of Equity Value - Option Pricing Model  Equity Value Available to Holders of Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock  $849  -  $986  $774  -  $941  Value of Company Common Stock  $29  -  $75  $14  -  $56  Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding (2)  14,434,241  -  14,434,241  14,434,241  -  14,434,241  Company Common Stock Per Share Value  $1.98  -  $5.17  $0.98  -  $3.90  Intrinsic Value Calculation  Equity Value Available to Holders of Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock $849 - $986 $774 - $941  Liquidation  9 
 

 Valuation Analysis  Section 2 
 

 Lincoln performed a valuation of (i) the Company on an enterprise value basis and (ii) the Company Common Stock on a per share basis. Lincoln estimated ranges of enterprise values for the Company using each of the following valuation approaches described below assuming the Company would continue to operate as a public company:  Methodology Explanation  Key Updates since August 1, 2024  Discounted Cash Flow Analysis (“DCF”)  (Income Approach)  Present value of projected unlevered free cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with risk  Key inputs include the budget and financial projections for the Company for the years ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2027, provided to us by management of the Company (the “Management Projections”), discount rate, and terminal value assumptions  Captures value associated with long-term cash flow generating ability of the Company  Pro forma for taxes assuming no utilization of historical and future net operating losses (“NOLs”) and therefore excludes value of NOL tax savings, which are separately valued  Utilized updated Management Projections which included revised view of stock-based compensation expense  Market Approach  Selected Public Companies Analysis  ‒ “Public market valuation”  ‒ Value based on market trading multiples of selected public companies using comparisons of various attributes including: relative size, historical and projected growth and profitability, capital intensity, geographic presence, customer mix, payor mix, and other financial performance metrics.  Lincoln did not consider a M&A Transactions Analysis due to the following:  ‒ Lack of relevant recent transactions;  ‒ Historical transactions generally involved strategic acquirers resulting in implied valuation multiples inclusive of synergies  ‒ Valuation multiple for M&A transactions reflects premium for control;  ‒ Generally computed based on historical financial performance (i.e., LTM EBITDA), which is not meaningful for the Company;  Higher 2026P EBITDA given the revision of stock-based compensation expense to the Management Projections  Median 2026P EBITDA multiple of the selected public companies declined from 8.1x to 6.9x resulting in a 0.5x lower selected range on 2026P EBITDA  Selected 2025P EBITDA multiples (previously did not select)  Valuation Analysis  Methodology  11 
 

 Valuation Analysis  Methodology (continued)  Lincoln then estimated ranges of aggregate equity value (“Aggregate Equity Value”) available to the holders of Company Common Stock and the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) by adjusting the estimated enterprise value ranges for cash and cash equivalents, non-operating assets, debt and debt-like items, non-operating liabilities and the estimated value of noncontrolling interests.  Given that the aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock exceeds Lincoln’s estimated ranges of Aggregate Equity Value, Lincoln estimated the value of the Company Common Stock using an option pricing model (“OPM”). This valuation methodology is based on the principles of option pricing theory, whereby the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock are each modeled as call options with a unique claim on the estimated ranges of Aggregate Equity Value. The rights and economic characteristics of each security define these claims. The resulting option claims, in combination, depict the sharing of proceeds between different securities upon a liquidity event. The result is an allocation of the aggregate equity value to each class of security. The effect in this case is an allocation of positive value to the Company Common Stock which represents “option value” despite the Company Common Stock having zero intrinsic value.  The key inputs of OPM include: (i) initial value of an underlying asset; (ii) exercise price; (iii) volatility; (iv) time to expiration; and (v) risk free rate. Lincoln utilized a term of approximately 0.24 years based on March 15, 2025, the current due date of the CMS settlement obligation, which could trigger a recapitalization or liquidity event. Lincoln selected a levered equity volatility of 55% which was based on its review of unlevered volatiles of the selected public companies which were re-levered based on the Company’s current capital structure.  Lincoln divided the resulting Company Common Stock value ranges by fully diluted shares outstanding to derive per share value ranges of the Company Common Stock.  Additionally, Lincoln calculated the intrinsic value of the Company Common Stock to be $0.  12

No future incremental D&A expense is assumed to be generated as the Management Projections assume approximately $0 of projected capital expenditures and intangible asset capitalization.   Management Projections   FY Ending December 31,  2023A  2024E  2025P  2026P  2027P  Normalized  Terminal (1)  Total Revenue  $1,161  $940  $1,719  $2,712  $3,659  $3,659  % Growth  54.5%  (19.0%)  82.8%  57.7%  34.9%  Adjusted EBITDA Excl.
