EXPLANATORY NOTE
Cano Health, Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment No. 1”) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Original Form
10-K”),
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2023, only for the purpose of including the Part III information required under the instructions to Form
10-K
and the general rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which information was previously omitted from the Original Form
10-K
in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form
10-K,
which permits the omitted information to be incorporated in the Original Form
10-K
by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal
year-end.
This Amendment No. 1 amends and restates only Part III, Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, and amends Part IV, Item 15 of the Original Form
10-K.
In addition, this Amendment No. 1 deletes the reference on the cover of the Original Form
10-K
to the incorporation by reference of portions of our proxy statement into Part III of the Original Form
10-K.
No other Items of the Original Form
10-K
have been amended or revised in this Form
10-K/A,
and all such other Items shall be as set forth in the Original Form
10-K.
In addition, pursuant to SEC rules, Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Form
10-K
is hereby amended solely to include, as Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4, new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Rule
13a-14(a)
under the Exchange Act. Because no financial statements are included in this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation
S-K,
paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of such certifications have been omitted. We are not including new certifications required by Rule
13a-14(b)
under the Exchange Act as no financial statements are included in this Amendment No. 1.
In addition, no other information has been updated for any subsequent events occurring after March 15, 2023, the date of the filing of the Original Form
10-K.
Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form
10-K
and our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form
10-K.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Amendment No. 1 to “Cano,” “Cano Health,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” mean Cano Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview of Executive Compensation Program

Executive Compensation Objectives

Cano Health requires top talent with a wide range of skills, experience, and leadership qualities to guide the Company in support of its mission and create long-term value for our stockholders. The Compensation Committee’s goal is to implement an executive compensation program that is built upon the following 3 core objectives:

 

   

Attracting, Motivating and Retaining the Right Talent. Executive compensation should be market-competitive in order to attract and retain highly motivated talent with a performance-driven mindset.

 

   

Pay-for-Performance. A material portion of an executive’s target compensation should be at-risk and directly aligned with Company performance.

 

   

Alignment with Stockholder Interests. Our executives’ interests should be aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders.

2022 Executive Compensation Program Design

Cano Health’s executive compensation program is designed to balance our goal of attracting, motivating, and retaining high-performing senior executives with our goal of aligning their interests with those of our stockholders. The target total direct compensation (“TDC”) of our NEOs in 2022 consisted of the following elements: base salary, a target cash bonus opportunity under our AIP, and a target equity incentive opportunity under our LTIP (all as more fully described in this CD&A).

Our executive compensation philosophy is focused on pay-for-performance. In this regard, we link a significant portion of each NEO’s target TDC to the achievement of specified performance goals or appreciation in the market price of our common stock. As illustrated by the charts below, the majority of 2022 target pay that could have been earned by our NEOs was variable, at-risk pay.

The Compensation Committee will annually evaluate our executive compensation program to ensure that it is consistent with our short-term and long-term goals and the dynamic nature of our business.

Compensation Governance

The following features of our ongoing executive compensation program are designed to align with stockholder interests and compensation governance best practices:

 

What We Do

  

What We Don’t Do

✓  Pay for performance by providing a significant percentage of target annual compensation in the form of variable, at-risk compensation

 

✓  Pre-established performance goals that are aligned with creation of stockholder value

 

✓  Market comparison of executive compensation against a relevant peer group of companies

 

✓  Maintain stock ownership guidelines to encourage equity ownership by our executive officers and non-employee directors

 

✓  Use of an independent compensation consultant reporting to the Compensation Committee and providing no other services to the Company

 

✓  Annual say-on-pay vote

  

×   No automatic or guaranteed annual salary increases or annual cash incentive payments

 

×   No automatic “single-trigger” acceleration of equity awards upon a change of control

 

×   No option repricing, backdating, or spring-loading

 

×   No excessive perquisites to our NEOs

 

×   No supplemental executive retirement plans

 

×   No hedging of Company securities

 

×   No excise tax gross-ups

As we mature as a public company, we will continually evaluate our compensation governance and strive to reflect market best practices. We are committed to sound compensation governance, which we believe promotes the long-term interests of our stockholders, fosters sustained business success, and strengthens Board and management accountability.

How We Determine Executive Compensation

Use of Peer Group and General Market Data

Based on the advice and analysis of its independent compensation consultant, FW Cook, the Compensation Committee approved the following peer group of 16 companies for 2022:

 

1Life Healthcare (ONEM)    Encompass Health (EHC)    RadNet (RDNT)
Acadia Healthcare (ACHC)    LHC Group (LHCG)    Surgery Partners (SGRY)
Addus HomeCare (ADUS)    MEDNAX (MD)    Teladoc Health (TDOC)
Amedisys (AMED)    National HealthCare (NHC)    The Ensign Group (ENSG)
Apollo Medical Holdings (AMEH)    Oak Street Health (OSH)    U.S. Physical Therapy (USPH)
CorVel (CRVL)      

The peer companies primarily consist of companies operating healthcare facilities and providing patient services. Based on data compiled by FW Cook at the time of the peer group development (reflecting publicly available data as of December 31, 2021), our revenue based on the available trailing 4 quarters and market capitalization were at the 49th and 53rd percentiles, respectively, in relation to the peer group.

Due to the nature of our business, we also compete for executive talent with companies outside our peer group, including public companies that are larger and more established than we are or that possess greater resources than we do, and with smaller private companies that may be able to offer greater compensation potential. In setting compensation, the Compensation Committee considers each NEO’s level and job performance, their duties and responsibilities at the Company compared to the duties and responsibilities of executive officers in similar positions at the peer group companies, as well as general industry survey data and other circumstances unique to the Company.

The Compensation Committee then evaluates whether the compensation elements and levels provided to our NEOs were generally appropriate relative to their responsibilities at the Company compared to compensation elements and levels provided to their counterparts in the peer group or within the market. The Compensation Committee considers both objective and subjective criteria to evaluate Company and individual performance, which allows it to exercise informed judgment and not rely solely on rigid benchmarks. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee does not formulaically tie compensation decisions to any particular range or percentile level of total compensation paid to executives at the peer group companies or general industry survey data.

Our Compensation Committee will review our compensation peer group periodically and will make adjustments to its composition if warranted, taking into account changes in both our business and the businesses of the companies in the peer group.

Consideration of 2022 Say-On-Pay Advisory Vote

The Compensation Committee considered the results of our first stockholder “say-on-pay” advisory vote. Stockholders showed strong support for our executive compensation program, with 96.8% of the votes cast in favor of the Company’s say-on-pay vote at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In light of the strong support reflected by the results of the 2022 “say-on-pay” proposal, the Compensation Committee maintained our general philosophy on executive compensation for 2022. The Compensation Committee will continue to review the design of the executive compensation program in light of future say-on-pay votes, developments in executive compensation market trends and practices, and the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy to ensure that the executive compensation program continues to serve the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Named Executive Officer Compensation

Annual Base Salary

Annual base salaries are a fixed amount paid to each executive for performing their normal duties and responsibilities of employment. We determine the amount based on the executive’s overall performance, level of responsibility, tenure and experience in role, and market data. Consistent with our initiative to conserve our cash resources, there were no base salary increases in 2022.

Annual Incentive Plan

Our AIP is a cash-based program that is designed to drive the achievement of our critical annual financial and strategic goals, which are key indicators of effective operational performance and should build the foundation for long-term stockholder value creation. For 2022, the AIP framework was as follows:

Annual incentive payments can range from 0% to 200% of the target award opportunity, based on performance relative to goals, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee established the following goals and payout levels under the 2022 AIP:

 

Metric

  

Weighting

  

Rationale for Metric

  

Payout Range

Revenue    42.5%    Key top-line financial metric of our performance    0-200%
Adjusted EBITDA*    42.5%    Key measure to assess the financial performance of our business in order to make decisions on allocation of resources    0-200%
Strategic Objectives    15.0%    Key measure of supporting the Company’s long-term strategy    0-200%
Individual Modifier    —      Key measure to recognize each NEO’s individual contribution and personal impact on the Company’s strategic priorities    +/-20%
* 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to add back the effect of certain expenses, such as stock-based compensation expense, non-cash goodwill impairment loss, transaction costs (consisting of transaction costs and corporate development payroll costs), restructuring and other charges, fair value adjustments in contingent consideration, loss on extinguishment of debt and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. For the periods through December 31, 2022, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company also excluded the impact of de novo losses consisting of costs associated with the ramp up of new medical centers and losses incurred for the 12 months after the opening of a new facility.

The 2022 AIP performance levels were intended to be rigorous, such that achieving threshold levels would represent minimum acceptable performance and achieving maximum levels would represent outstanding performance. The threshold, target and maximum performance and payout opportunities under the 2022 AIP (subject to interpolation between points), along with the actual performance achieved and related weighted score, are set forth below:

     Threshold
($ million)
    Target

   $ 212     $ 235     $ 259     $ 152.5        64.9     0.0
Weighted Average Financial Performance Score: 33.1%  

The NEOs were also subject to a scorecard of strategic objectives with an allocated weighting of 15% relating to the Company’s performance with respect to: Net Promoter Score, Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (“HEDIS”) (Stars) and Total Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) (collectively, the “Strategic Objectives”). The Compensation Committee determined that the Strategic Objectives were achieved at target performance.

 

10


The formulaic outcome based on the financial metrics and the Strategic Objectives was 48.1%, based on the 33.1% financial metric and the 15% strategic metric. However, after holistically considering the Company’s overall performance during 2022, as well as the Company’s initiative to conserve cash, the Compensation Committee exercised its negative discretion and determined not to pay any cash bonuses for 2022.

2022 Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”)

Long-term equity incentive awards under our LTIP are designed to enable us to align our NEOs’ interests with those of our stockholders by giving them a meaningful ownership interest in our Company. We believe that equity awards provide our NEOs with a direct interest in our long-term performance and create an ownership mindset.

For 2022, our NEOs were eligible to receive annual equity incentive awards in the form of time-based stock options and performance-adjusted restricted stock units (“PARSUs”). All stock option and PARSU awards are approved by the Compensation Committee or our Board. The target value of each executive’s annual equity award opportunity was intended to be market competitive and reflective of such executive’s skill set, experience, role, and responsibilities.

•  Financial goals consisted of revenue (key top-line metric) and Adjusted EBITDA (key bottom-line metric). Please see earlier discussion for a description of certain adjustments to the metrics.

    

•  The achievement of the financial metrics was modified by the Company’s TSR performance to further align the earned PARSU value with our 2022 stock price performance relative to the following set of core peers:

•  Earned PARSUs will be granted following completion of the 2022 performance period and will vest annually over a 2-year period commencing December 31, 2023, subject generally to continued employment on each vesting date.

    

•  Stock options are designed to align our executives’ interests with the interests of our stockholders because options only have financial value to the recipient if the price of our stock at the time of exercise exceeds the stock price on the date of grant.

    

•  Stock options will be granted following completion of the 2022 performance period and will vest annually over a 4-year period commencing March 15, 2024, subject generally to continued employment on each vesting date.

For 2022, the PARSUs that were eligible to be earned based on achievement of the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA goals set forth below, as further adjusted by the relative TSR modifier, consisted of the following:

Following completion of the 2022 performance period:

 

   

The PARSUs were granted on March 31, 2023, with the number of RSUs calculated by dividing the applicable earned value by $1.2055, the average per share closing price of our Class A common stock during the 20-trading days prior to and including the grant date. (An average closing price was used to smooth single-day price volatility in our share price.)

 

   

The stock options were granted on March 31, 2023 with the number of options calculated based on the Black-Scholes value on the grant date; the exercise price was $0.91 per share, being the per share closing price of our Class A common stock on the grant date.

Notwithstanding that the foregoing LTI awards were granted with respect to 2022 performance, as required by applicable SEC rules, these LTI awards will be reported in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan Based Awards Table included in our 2024 proxy statement because they were formally granted in 2023.

Please refer to the 2022 Proxy Statement for a discussion of the equity awards formally granted in 2022 with respect to the 2021 performance period which are reflected in the Grants of Plan Based Awards table.

Separate from the annual LTIP awards, and pursuant to his employment agreement, on August 1, 2022 Mr. Camerlinck also received a 1-time promotion equity grant of 250,000 RSUs, which will vest pro-rata over 4 years commencing on the 1st anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Camerlinck’s continued employment with us through each such vesting date.

Other Compensation and Governance Matters

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our NEOs which provide for “at will” employment. For additional information regarding the material terms of each NEO’s employment agreement, please see the section below entitled “Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers.” Each of our NEOs is also subject to a non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, and assignment agreement, which provides for a perpetual post-termination confidentiality covenant as well as non-competition and non-solicitation of customers, employees and consultants covenants that apply during employment and for 1 year following termination, subject to the type of termination in the case of the non-competition provision.

Retirement, Health, Welfare, Perquisites and Personal Benefits

Our NEOs are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans and programs, including medical and dental benefits, flexible spending accounts, short and long-term disability, and life insurance, to the same extent as our other full-time employees, subject to the terms and eligibility requirements of those plans.

We sponsor a 401(k) defined contribution plan in which our U.S.-based NEOs may participate, subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the same extent as our other U.S.-based regular employees.

 

14


Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan, employees, including our NEOs, have an opportunity to purchase our Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The purpose of the employee stock purchase plan is to encourage our employees, including our NEOs, to become our stockholders and better align their interests with those of our other stockholders.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Compensation Committee has established stock ownership guidelines to encourage equity ownership by our executive officers and non-employee directors in order to reinforce the link between their financial interests and those of our stockholders. Under our stock ownership guidelines, our CEO is expected to own an amount of our stock equal in value to at least 5 times his base salary; our other NEOs are expected to own an amount of our stock equal in value to at least 3 times their respective base salaries; and our non-employee directors are expected to own an amount of our stock equal in value to at least 5 times their annual cash retainer. Until this minimum level is met, the applicable individual would be required to retain at least 50% (100% in the case of non-employee directors) of the after-tax shares acquired upon exercise of stock options and vesting of any restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share awards.

 

What Counts Toward the Guidelines

  

What Does Not Count Toward the Guidelines

✓  Shares owned by the executive/non-employee director, and their respective immediate family members or family trust

 

✓  Fully-vested share awards that have been deferred for future delivery

  

×   Unvested and unearned restricted stock/restricted stock units/performance shares

 

×   Unexercised stock options

Hedging and Pledging Transactions

Pursuant to our Insider Trading Policy, we prohibit our directors, officers and certain designated employees from buying or selling puts, calls, other derivative securities of the Company or any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of the Company’s securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of the Company’s securities or engage in any other hedging transaction with respect to the Company’s securities, at any time.

We also have an anti-pledging policy whereby no executive officer or director may pledge the Company’s securities as collateral for a loan (or modify an existing pledge) unless the pledge has been approved by the Audit Committee. As described earlier in this CD&A, we have a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy under which compensation is predominantly earned and delivered in the form of equity. Given that our executive compensation program is heavily weighted towards equity, we believe permitting a limited amount of pledging is necessary and appropriate because it mitigates the need for executives to sell Company shares to address unanticipated or urgent personal and family liquidity needs. As part of its risk oversight function, the Audit Committee reviews any share pledges to assess whether such pledging poses an undue risk to the Company. As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding pledges for our NEOs and directors.

Tax Deductibility Policy

The Compensation Committee considered the deductibility of compensation for federal income tax purposes in the design of the Company’s compensation programs. While the Company generally seeks to maintain the deductibility of the incentive compensation paid to its executive officers, the Compensation Committee retains the flexibility necessary to provide cash and equity compensation in line with competitive practices, its compensation philosophy and the best interests of its stockholders, even if these amounts are not fully tax deductible.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Company has determined that any risks arising from its compensation programs and policies are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company’s compensation programs and policies mitigate risk by combining performance-based, long-term compensation elements with payouts that are highly correlated to the value delivered to stockholders. The combination of performance measures for annual bonuses and the equity compensation programs, as well as the multiyear vesting schedules for equity awards, encourage executives to maintain both a short- and a long-term view with respect to the Company’s performance.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K with our management. Based upon this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in this filing.

For Mr. Koppy, the amounts reported as salary for the 2021 fiscal year reflect the salary earned in 2021 following his commencement of employment with us in April 2021.

(2)

Amounts shown reflect the grant date fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as applicable, computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“FASB ASC Topic 718”), excluding any estimates of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For information regarding assumptions underlying the valuation of equity awards, see “Note 17, Stock-Based Compensation” to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). The amounts reported in this column reflect the accounting cost for these RSUs and do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by the NEOs upon the vesting or settlement of the RSUs.

(3)

Amounts shown reflect the grant date fair value of stock options granted during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the grant date fair value of Class B Units of Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC (the “Seller”) granted during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The grant date fair value was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding any estimates of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. With respect to option awards granted in 2021 which are earned based on market-based conditions, the fair value was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. With respect to option awards granted in 2022, such awards are not earned based on market-based conditions and therefore a Monte Carlo simulation would not be applicable. For information regarding assumptions underlying the valuation of equity awards, see “Note 17, Stock-Based Compensation” to our 2022 Form 10-K. The amounts reported in this column reflect the accounting cost for these stock options and Class B Units, as applicable, and do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by the NEOs upon the vesting or settlement of the Class B Units or the exercise of the stock options or sale of the shares of our Class A common stock underlying such stock options, as applicable.

Amount shown represents employer matching contributions under our 401(k) Plan.

Mr. Camerlinck joined the Company as President of Healthy Partners, Inc. when the Company acquired it in June 2020, after which he was promoted to be our COO in August 2022. The amounts reported in the salary column reflect the total amount earned by Mr. Camerlinck during 2022 serving in both partial-year roles with the Company. The amounts reported in the stock awards column reflect: (i) 285,333 retention RSUs approved in 2021 and granted on March 15, 2022; (ii) 7,214 adjustment RSUs approved in 2021 and granted in on March 15, 2022; (iii) 39,523 PARSUs granted on March 15, 2022 with respect to 2021 performance; and (iv) 250,000 RSUs granted on August 10, 2022 in connection with Mr. Camerlinck’s promotion to be our COO.

In addition, in lieu of the payments and benefits described above, in the event that Mr. Armstrong’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” (including due to the Company’s delivery of a non-renewal notice), or by him for “good reason,” in each case, within 12 months following a “sale event” as defined in the 2021 Plan and subject to Mr. Armstrong’s execution and non-revocation of a separation agreement containing, among other things, a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, Mr. Armstrong will be entitled to receive: (i) an amount in cash equal to 2 times the sum of (x) Mr. Armstrong’s then current base salary (ignoring any reduction that constitutes good reason) and (y) the average annual incentive compensation paid to Mr. Armstrong in each of the 2 completed years prior to the year of his date of termination (provided that if incentive compensation has not been paid to Mr. Armstrong for each of the prior 2 years, the amount shall be his target bonus for the current year) (ignoring any reduction that constitutes good reason); (ii) a pro-rated portion of his target bonus for the year in which his termination occurs (ignoring any reduction that constitutes good reason); (iii) any earned but unpaid incentive compensation with respect to the completed year prior to the year in which the termination occurs; (iv) full acceleration of vesting of all outstanding equity awards; and (v) subject to Mr. Armstrong’s election to receive continued health benefits under COBRA and copayment of premium amounts at the active employees’ rate, payment of remaining premiums for participation in our health benefit plans until the earliest of (A) 12 months following termination; (B) the date he becomes eligible for group medical plan benefits under any other employer’s group medical plan; or (C) the expiration of Mr. Armstrong’s COBRA health continuation period.

The cash severance payable to Mr. Armstrong upon a termination of employment is generally payable over the 12 months following the date of termination, subject to potential 6-month delay if required by Section 409A of the Code.

This column represents the aggregate fair market value of the shares underlying the RSUs as of December 31, 2022, based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NYSE of $1.37 per share on December 30, 2022 (the last trading day in such fiscal year).

(2)

This stock option is earned in equal 25% portions if the per share price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $20 per share, $30 per share, $35 per share or $40 per share, in each case for at least 20 consecutive trading days prior to the 3rd anniversary of the closing of our business combination. Once a stock price hurdle is satisfied, 50% of the earned portion of the stock option vests on the 1st anniversary of such date and the remaining 50% vests on the 2nd anniversary of such date, subject to the NEO’s continued employment on each vesting date or the NEO’s termination by us without “cause” (as defined in each NEO’s employment agreement) or due to the NEO’s death or disability.

(3)

This RSU award vests in 3 equal annual installments on each of August 24, 2023, 2024 and 2025, subject generally to each NEO’s continued employment.

(4)

Option Exercises and Stock Vested in Fiscal Year 2022

The following table sets forth the aggregate number of shares of our Class A common stock earned by our NEOs upon vesting of RSUs and the value realized during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, none of our NEOs exercised any stock options.

The value realized upon vesting of RSUs is calculated by multiplying the number of RSUs vested by the closing market price of a share of our Class A common stock as reported on the NYSE on such vesting date (or, if no market quotations are reported for such date, the most recent preceding date for which there are market quotations).

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following tables present information concerning estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to our NEOs in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment, including qualifying terminations of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company. The payments and benefits set forth below are estimated assuming that the termination or change in control event occurred on the last business day of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, using the per share closing market price of our Class A common stock on December 30, 2022 (the last trading day in such fiscal year) of $1.37. Actual payments and benefits could be different if such events were to occur on any other date or at any other price or if any other assumptions are used to estimate potential payments and benefits.

In addition, the amounts in the tables below exclude payments that would be made for (i) accrued salary and vacation pay; (ii) distribution of plan balances under our 401(k) plan; (iii) life insurance proceeds in the event of death; and (iv) disability insurance payouts in the event of disability to the extent they have been earned prior to the termination of employment or are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees upon termination of employment.

A “qualifying termination” means a termination of employment by either the Company without “cause” (as defined in each NEO’s employment agreement) or by the NEO for “good reason” (as defined in each NEO’s employment agreement), and “in connection with a change in control” means within 12 months after a “sale event” (as defined in our 2021 Plan). A qualifying termination “not in connection with a change in control” means prior to, or more than 12 months after, a “sale event” (as defined in our 2021 Plan).

(2)

Represents the sum of (i) 12 months of the NEO’s base salary, and (ii) a pro-rated portion of the NEO’s target bonus for the year in which termination occurs.

(3)

Represents 12 months of our contribution toward health insurance, based on our actual costs to provide health insurance to the NEO as of the date of termination.

(4)

Represents (i) 2 times the sum of (x) the NEO’s base salary and (y) the average annual incentive compensation paid in each of the 2 completed years prior to the year of his date of termination; and (ii) a pro-rated portion of the NEO’s target bonus for the year in which termination occurs.

(5)

Represents the sum of (i) the value of unvested RSUs held by each NEO as of December 31, 2022, and (ii) the value of each NEO’s PARSUs as of December 31, 2022. In addition, in the event that these equity awards are not substituted, assumed or continued in connection with a “sale event” (as defined in our 2021 Plan), each award will accelerate in full immediately prior to such sale event.

Amount includes 11,040,650 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options granted under the 2021 Plan and 10,953,051 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon vesting of RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan.

  (2)

Since RSUs do not have any exercise price, such units are not included in the weighted average exercise price calculation.

  (3)

Includes 27,011,952 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan and 3,079,927 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP provides that the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved and available for issuance under the plan will automatically increase on January 1, 2022 and each January 1 thereafter by the least of (i) 1% of the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31; (ii) 15,000,000 shares; or (iii) such lesser number as determined by the Compensation Committee, in its role as the plan administrator. Amount does not include the 2,259,178 shares which were added to the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP on January 1, 2023 as a result of such automatic annual increase.

Pay Ratio Disclosure

In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K we determined the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Hernandez, relative to the annual total compensation of our median employee. For the purposes of reporting annual total compensation and the ratio of annual total compensation of the Chief Executive Officer to the median employee, the annual total compensation of both our Chief Executive Officer and our median employee were calculated in a manner that is consistent with the disclosure requirements in the Summary Compensation Table.

In 2022, we acquired Serenity Community Mental Health Center LLC and Miami Personal Behavioral LLC (the “Serenity Transaction”) and several additional small businesses. However, such acquisitions have not caused any material change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that would significantly impact the pay ratio disclosure. Accordingly, for purposes of calculating the pay ratio set forth below, we used the same median employee we identified for purposes of our 2021 pay ratio.

After applying the methodology described above, the annual total compensation of our median employee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was $37,916. The annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was $4,320,007, as reported in the “Total Compensation” column in the Summary Compensation Table above. Based on this information, for 2022, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer to the annual total compensation of our median employee was 114:1.

The SEC rules for identifying the median employee allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Accordingly, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Pay Versus Performance

In accordance with the Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance. As we became a publicly traded company in June 2021, we are providing such information only for 2021 and 2022. For purposes of Item 402(v), our Chief Executive Officer is the Principal Executive Officer, or PEO. For additional information on our compensation programs and philosophy and how we design our compensation programs, see the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.

Amounts represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Dr. Hernandez, as calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect actual amounts of compensation earned or paid to Dr. Hernandez during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to Dr. Hernandez’ total compensation for each year to determine the “compensation actually paid” to him:

The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity award granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in the sample applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant.

Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

(6)

Company Selected Measure is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, where “EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA, adjusted to add back the effect of certain expenses, such as stock-based compensation expense, non-cash goodwill impairment loss, transaction costs (consisting of transaction costs and corporate development payroll costs), restructuring and other charges, fair value adjustments in contingent consideration, loss on extinguishment of debt and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. For the periods through December 31, 2022, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we also excluded the impact of de novo losses consisting of costs associated with the ramp up of new medical centers and losses incurred for the 12 months after the opening of a new facility. While we consider numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating and determining executive compensation, we consider Adjusted EBITDA, which is one of the measures used to determine annual cash incentive compensation for our NEOS, to be the most important performance measure that we used to link “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs for fiscal year 2022 to our performance for 2022.

Financial Performance Measures

For the most recently completed fiscal year, the most important financial measures that we used to link executive compensation actually paid to our NEOs to our performance are as follows:

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA

 

   

Revenue

 

   

Total Shareholder Return

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2022, the following directors, all of whom are independent directors, served on our Compensation Committee: Dr. Lewis Gold, Angel Morales and Dr. Alan Muney. None of our executive officers serve as a member of a board of directors or Compensation Committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our Board or Compensation Committee.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

We believe that a combination of cash and equity compensation is appropriate to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, high-caliber individuals to serve on our Board of Directors. We further believe that it is appropriate to provide cash compensation to our non-employee directors to compensate them for their time and effort and to provide equity compensation to our non-employee directors to align their long-term interests with those of the Company and our stockholders.

In connection with our business combination, our Compensation Committee engaged KPMG International as its compensation consultant to advise on, among other things, non-employee director compensation matters. In doing so, our Compensation Committee reviewed and considered peer group compensation data prepared by KPMG International.

Based on the recommendations provided by KPMG International and upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, in June 2021 our Board of Directors adopted a non-employee director compensation policy for the compensation of our non-employee directors following our business combination. Under our non-employee director compensation policy, each non-employee director will be paid cash retainers for services provided to our Company, as set forth below:

 

     Member
Annual
Fee ($)
 

Annual service on our Board of Directors

     50,000  

Additional retainer for Lead Independent Director

     35,000  

In May 2022, our Board of Directors elected to revise our non-employee director compensation policy to provide that for future services the cash retainers would be paid in the form of RSUs in lieu of cash.

In addition, pursuant to our non-employee director compensation policy, each non-employee director will receive an annual grant of RSUs under the 2021 Plan with a grant date fair market value of $200,000. The RSUs will vest in a single installment on the earlier to occur of the 1st anniversary of the grant date or the next annual meeting, subject to continued service as a director through such vesting date. Any outstanding unvested RSU awards will accelerate in full upon a sale event (as defined in our 2021 Plan).

In addition, our director compensation policy provides that non-employee directors will be reimbursed for all travel expenses incurred by such non-employee directors in attending meetings of our Board of Directors or any committee thereof.

Fiscal Year 2022 Director Compensation Table

The following table provides information regarding the total compensation that was earned by or paid to each of our non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Other than as set forth in the table and described below, we did not pay any compensation, make any equity awards or non-equity awards to, or pay any other compensation to any of the non-employee members of our Board of Directors. Dr. Marlow Hernandez, our Chief Executive Officer, did not receive any compensation for his service as a member of our Board of Directors during 2022, other than the compensation he received for his service as our CEO. Dr. Hernandez’s compensation for service as an employee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 is presented above under the heading “Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table.” In addition, we reimburse non-employee directors for travel expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board of Directors or any committee thereof.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth information about the beneficial ownership of shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of March 13, 2023 for:

 

   

each person or group known to us who beneficially owns more than 5% of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock;

 

   

each of our directors;

 

   

each of our named executive officers; and

 

   

all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

Each stockholder’s percentage ownership is based on 264,174,645 shares of our Class A common stock and 264,003,919 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding as of March 13, 2023. 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 of March 13, 2023. Shares of Class A common stock subject to options or restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that are currently exercisable or exercisable or will vest within 60 days of March 13, 2023 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 Class A common stock and Class B common stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder.

Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each beneficial owner listed on the table is c/o Cano Health, Inc., 9725 NW 117th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33178. Beneficial ownership representing less than 1% is denoted with an asterisk (*).

The Board has adopted a Related Person Transaction Policy that sets forth the policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related person transactions.” A “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which Cano Health or any of its subsidiaries are participants and a “related person” has a direct or indirect interest.

A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons.

The Company’s Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the material facts of all related person transactions. The Company is responsible for providing the Audit Committee with all material information regarding the related person transaction, the interest of the related person and any of the Company’s potential disclosure obligations in connection with such related person transaction. To identify related person transactions in advance, the Company relies on information supplied by the Company’s executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, the Company’s Audit Committee takes into account, among other factors that it deems appropriate, whether the related person transaction is on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms generally available in a transaction with an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the related person transaction.

Other

The Chief Executive Officer’s sister-in-law is employed at the Company as its director of payroll and during 2022 her cash compensation was approximately $135,000, which the Company believes is at market rates.

For services rendered in 2021, the Company issued 25,386 shares of Class A common stock to Mr. Camerlinck, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, in September 2022 as finder’s fee in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Doctor’s Medical Center, LLC and its affiliates in 2021.

Independence of the Board

The NYSE has adopted independence standards for companies listed on the NYSE, which apply to Cano Health. These standards require a majority of the Board to be independent and every member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to be independent. NYSE standards provide that a director is considered independent only if the Board “affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company).” In addition, the NYSE prescribes certain other “independence” standards.

To determine which of its members is independent, the Board uses the standards prescribed by the NYSE and also considers other relevant facts and circumstances, including whether a director had any other past or present relationships with Cano Health that created conflicts or the appearance of conflicts. Based on its most recent review, the Board has affirmatively determined that Dr. Muney, Messrs. Trujillo and Morales and Mmes. Guichelaar and Rivera meet the requirements to be independent directors.

Our Board has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our Board has determined that all of the members of each such committee are independent under applicable NYSE and SEC rules.

The Audit Committee has a Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve EY’s audit and non-audit services in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair EY’s independence from the Company. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to the chair of the Audit Committee, who is responsible for reporting any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to us by EY. The term of any pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee approves a different period. Any such pre-approval details the particular service or type of services to be provided and is also generally subject to a maximum dollar amount. Any proposed services exceeding the Audit Committee’s pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Pre-approval is waived for non-audit services that satisfy the “de minimis” provisions of Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee pre-approved all services provided by EY.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The Audit Committee is comprised of 4 independent directors (as defined by the NYSE listing standards) and met 8 times in 2022. Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter, which is posted on our website at www.canohealth.com. The information found on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into, and does not form a part of, this proxy statement or any other report or document we file with or furnish to the SEC. As provided in its charter, the Audit Committee’s oversight responsibilities include monitoring the integrity of our financial statements (including reviewing financial information, the systems of internal controls, the audit process, and the independence and performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm) and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. However, management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including our systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee

 

   

reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 with our management;

 

   

discussed with EY the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC; and

 

   

received the written disclosures and the letter from EY required by the PCAOB’s applicable requirements regarding EY’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning EY’s independence, and has discussed with EY that firm’s independence.

Based on the Audit Committee’s review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
