Re: Offer Letter

Dear Joe:

Reference is made to the offer letter, dated March 23, 2021 (as amended as of April 27, 2013, April 29, 2014, and March 6, 2019, the “Offer Letter”) between you and R1 RCM Inc. (previously known as Accretive Health, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Offer Letter will remain effective until December 31, 2022. This letter agreement (this “Agreement”), which will become effective January 1, 2023, amends, restates and supersedes the Offer Letter in its entirety, and sets forth all of the terms and conditions of your employment with the Company beginning January 1, 2023.

 

1.

At-Will Employment. Your employment with the Company under this Agreement will begin January 1, 2023 and terminate on June 30, 2023, or such other date as mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Employment Term”). Your employment with the Company will be “at-will,” and will be terminable by you or the Company at any time and for any reason (or no reason), subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

2.

Title and Reporting. During the term of your employment with the Company, you will (i) serve as Executive Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), (ii) report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and (iii) continue to serve as a member of the Board.

 

3.

Duties and Responsibilities. You will have the duties and responsibilities that are normally associated with the positions described above and such executive responsibilities as may be prescribed by the CEO and Board from time to time and that are consistent with the position of Executive Advisor to the CEO. During your period of employment, you will make yourself reasonably available to the CEO and Board and to provide full-time services to the Company; provided that the foregoing will not prevent you from (i) participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry affairs, and (ii) managing your passive personal investments, in each case, so long as such activities, individually or in the aggregate, do not materially interfere with your duties hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict.

 

4.

Base Salary. You will receive a base salary of $200,000 per quarter which will be paid in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices as in effect from time to time. The base salary as determined herein from time to time will constitute “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not receive any additional compensation for your service on the Board.

 


5.

Annual Bonus. You will be eligible to receive an annual cash incentive award in respect of the 2022 calendar year based on the achievement of Company financial performance and performance goals established by the Board (or its Human Capital Committee), so long as you remain employed by the Company through the date such bonuses are paid. You acknowledge and agree that you will not be eligible for any bonus with respect to the 2023 calendar year.

 

6.

Equity Awards. The performance-based restricted stock units (the “PBRSUs”) granted to you on May 1, 2021 and June 21, 2022 are subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of (i) the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time and (ii) the respective award agreements evidencing such awards. In the event you remain employed in good standing (as determined by the Board) throughout the Employment Term and do not voluntarily terminate your employment pursuant to Section 9(a), subject to your signing a general release of claims in favor of the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Time-Based Condition (as such term is defined in the relevant award agreement) of such awards shall be deemed satisfied for a pro-rata amount of the Granted PBRSUs (the “Pro-Rata Shares”), with such amount to be determined by multiplying the Granted PBRSUs (as such term is defined in the relevant award agreement) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date (as such term is defined in the relevant award agreement) through and including the effective date of termination, and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date through and including the Performance Measurement Date (as such term is defined in the relevant award agreement). The number of Granted PBRSUs that subsequently become vested on the Performance Measurement Date shall equal the product of (i) the Pro-Rata Shares and (ii) the percentage level at which the Performance-Based Condition (as such term is defined in the relevant award agreement) has been satisfied. You acknowledge and agree that you will not be granted equity awards with respect to your employment on or after January 1, 2023.

 

7.

Employee Benefits. You will be entitled to participate in the employee and fringe benefit plans and programs (including, without limitation, health, retirement and vacation programs) of the Company in effect during your employment that are generally available to the senior management of the Company, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans and programs.

 

8.

Restrictions on Transfer of PBRSU Shares. Capitalized terms used in this Section 8 but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Amended and Restated Grant of Performance Based Awards, dated as of December 20, 2017 (the “2017 PBRSU Agreement”). Any and all PBRSU Shares ceased to be subject to the PBRSU Shares Transfer Restrictions effective as of January 15, 2022. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 8, the terms and conditions of the 2017 PBRSU Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

  (b)

A termination of employment will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amount or benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms will mean “separation from service.” If you are deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit will be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of your “separation from service,” and (B) the date of your death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A.

  (c)

With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year will not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, and (iii) such payments will be made on or before the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred.

 

  (d)

For purposes of Code Section 409A, your right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period will be within the sole discretion of the Company.

 

  (e)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will any payment that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

18.

This Agreement (including the Proprietary Interests Protection Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A), the indemnification agreement between you and the Company and the equity award agreements entered into by and between you and the Company constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements or understandings between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, including, but not limited to, the Offer Letter, provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement and the exhibit hereto are in addition to and complement (and do not supersede) any other written agreement(s) or parts thereof between you and the Company or any of its affiliates that create restrictions on you with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disparagement.

  (b)

This Agreement shall not prevent Employee from revealing evidence of criminal wrongdoing to law enforcement or prohibit Employee from divulging the Company’s Confidential Information by order of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction. However, Employee shall promptly inform the Company of any such situations and shall take such reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of the Company’s Confidential Information until the Company has been informed of such requested disclosure and the Company has had an opportunity to respond to the court or agency.

 

  (c)

Federal law provides certain protections to individuals who disclose a trade secret to their attorney, a court, or a government official in certain confidential circumstances. Specifically, federal law provides that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret under either of the following conditions: (A) where the disclosure is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) where the disclosure is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. See 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)(1). Federal law also provides that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (I) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (II) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

Except as excluded in Section 5(e) below, Employee hereby agrees to and hereby grants and assigns to the Company all of Employee’s right, title and interest in and to all Company Inventions and agrees that all such Company Inventions shall be the Company’s sole and exclusive property to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

  (c)

Employee shall at the request of the Company (but without additional compensation from the Company): (i) execute any and all papers and perform all lawful acts that the Company deems necessary for the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of applications for United States patents or copyrights and foreign patents or copyrights on any Company Inventions, (ii) execute such instruments as are necessary to assign to the Company or to the Company’s nominee, all of Employee’s right, title and interest in any Company Inventions so as to establish or perfect in the Company or in the Company’s nominee, the entire right, title and interest in such Company Inventions, and (iii) execute any instruments necessary or that the Company may deem desirable in connection with any continuation, renewal or reissue of any patents in any Company Inventions, renewal of any copyright registrations for any Company Inventions, or in the conduct of any proceedings or litigation relating to any Company Inventions.

  (d)

Concurrent with Employee’s execution of this Agreement, Employee attaches a list and brief description of all unpatented inventions and discoveries, if any, made or conceived by Employee prior to Employee’s employment with the Company and that are to be excluded from this Agreement. If no such list is attached at the time of execution of this Agreement, it shall be conclusively presumed that Employee has waived any right he may have to any such invention or discovery which relates to the Company’s business.


  (e)

Provisions (a) through (d) of this Section 5 regarding assignment of right, title and interest do not apply to Inventions for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on Employee’s own time, unless (i) the Inventions relate either to the business of the Company, or to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (ii) the Inventions result from any work directly or indirectly performed by the Employee for the Company.

 

6.

Non-Competition.

 

  (a)

During the time in which Employee performs services for the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, either alone or in conjunction with any person, firm, association, company or corporation, within the Restricted Area:

 

  (i)

own, manage, operate, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, or be employed by, any entity which is in competition with the Company’s Business in which the Employee would hold a position with responsibilities that are entirely or substantially similar to any position the Employee held during the last twelve (12) months of the Employee’s employment with the Company or in which the Employee would have responsibility for or access to confidential information that is similar to or relevant to that Confidential Information which the Employee had access to during the last twelve (12) months of the Employee’s employment with the Company; or

 

  (ii)

provide services to any person or entity that engages in any business that is similar to, or competitive with the Company’s business if doing so would require Employee to use or disclose the Company’s Confidential Information.

 

  (b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6 prohibits Employee from being a passive owner of not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as Employee has no active participation in the business of such corporation.

Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement with respect to time, geographical area and scope of activity are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other legitimate business interests of the Company and that the Employee has had the opportunity to review the provisions of this Agreement with his legal counsel. In particular, the Employee agrees and acknowledges that the Company is currently engaging in business and actively marketing its services and products throughout the United States, that Employee’s duties and responsibilities for the Company are co-extensive with the entire scope of the Company’s business, that the Company has spent significant time and effort developing and protecting the confidentiality of their methods of doing business, technology, customer lists, long term customer relationships and trade secrets and that such methods, technology, customer lists, customer relationships and trade secrets have significant value.


By continuing employment with the Company, Employee understands and agrees that: (a) Employee will not bring any confidential information of any former employer, nor any proprietary work product created as part of Employee’s duties with Employee’s former employer; and (b) Employee will not use or disclose any former employer’s confidential information or proprietary work product in the performance of Employee’s duties with the Company. Further, Employee represents that Employee is not subject to any contract that would prohibit Employee from performing Employee’s duties for the Company.

 

7.

Remedies. Employee acknowledges that the compliance with the terms of this Agreement is necessary to protect the Confidential Information, customer relationships and goodwill of the Company and that any breach by Employee of this Agreement will cause continuing and irreparable injury to the Company for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Employee acknowledges that affiliates are and are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that the Company and any affiliate shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies they may have, be entitled to injunctive relief for any breach by Employee of any part of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not in any way limit the remedies in law or equity otherwise available to the Company and its affiliates.

 

8.

Severability; Modification. It is expressly agreed by Employee that:

 

  (a)

Modification. If, at the time of enforcement of this Agreement, a court holds that the duration, geographical area or scope of activity restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing or impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other business interests of the Company, Employee agrees that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court will be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law, in all cases giving effect to the intent of the parties that the restrictions contained herein be given effect to the broadest extent possible.

 

  (b)

Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.


9.

Non-Disparagement. Subject to Section 3(c), Employee understands and agrees that Employee will not disparage the Company, its officers, directors, administrators, representatives, employees, contractors, consultants or customers and will not engage in any communications or other conduct which might interfere with the relationship between the Company and its current, former, or prospective employees, contractors, consultants, customers, suppliers, regulatory entities, and/or any other persons or entities.

 

10.

Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted, and enforced, and its validity and enforceability determined, strictly in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without applying its conflicts of laws principles.

 

11.

Exclusive Jurisdiction/Venue. The parties agree that all litigation arising out of or relating to Sections 2 (Non-Solicitation), 3 (Confidential Information), and 6 (Non-Competition) of this Agreement must be brought in Cook County, Illinois or the federal court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Cook County, Illinois, and each party shall submit to and accept the exclusive jurisdiction of such court for the purpose of such suit, legal action or proceeding. All other disputes, controversies or questions arising under, out of, or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, other than those disputes relating to alleged violations of Sections 2 (Non-Solicitation), 3 (Confidential Information), and 6 (Non-Competition) of this Agreement, shall be conclusively settled by arbitration to be held in Chicago, Illinois, in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (the “Rules”).

Arbitration shall be the parties’ exclusive remedy for any such controversies, claims or breaches. The parties also consent to personal jurisdiction in Chicago, Illinois with respect to such arbitration. The award resulting from such arbitration shall be final and binding upon both parties. The arbitrator shall be selected by agreement between the parties, but if they do not agree on the selection of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the date of the request for arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the Rules. With respect to any claim brought to arbitration hereunder, both the Company and Employee shall be entitled to recover whatever damages would otherwise be available in any legal proceeding based upon the federal and/or state law applicable to the claim. The decision of the arbitrator may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by either the Company or Employee. Each party shall pay the fees of their respective attorneys (except as otherwise awarded by the arbitrator), the expenses of their witnesses and any other expenses connected with representing their cases. Other costs, including the fees of the mediator, the arbitrator, the cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees, shall be borne equally by the parties, one-half by Employee, on the one hand, and one-half by the Company, on the other hand.

 

12.

Assignability. The rights herein may be assigned by the Company and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company’s successors, assigns, heirs and representatives.

Your employment with R1, as well as your role as an officer or director of R1 or any subsidiary, will terminate:

 

  a.

upon at least thirty days’ prior written notice to R1 of your voluntary termination of employment, with or without Good Reason (which R1 may, in its sole discretion, make effective earlier than any notice date);

 

  b.

as specified in a written notice by R1 to you of a termination of employment for Cause or without Cause (other than for Disability);

 

  c.

immediately upon your death; or

 

  d.

Severance.

 

  a.

In the event of your termination of employment from R1 by reason of your death, Disability, or by R1 for Cause, you will be entitled to receive:

 

  i.

any unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination;

 

  ii.

except in the case of your termination by R1 for Cause, any annual bonus earned but unpaid with respect to the fiscal year ending on or preceding the date of termination, payable at the same time as it would have been paid had you not undergone a termination of employment;

 

  iii.

reimbursement in accordance with applicable Company policy for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination;

  v.

all other payments, benefits or fringe benefits to which you are entitled under the terms of any applicable compensation or equity arrangement or employee benefit plan or program of R1 (collectively, the foregoing payment and benefits described in clauses (i)-(v) will be hereafter referred to as the “Accrued Benefits”).

  b.

In the event of your termination of employment from R1 by R1 without Cause, or by you for Good Reason, R1 shall pay or provide you with the following severance benefits in addition to the Accrued Benefits:

 

  i.

subject to your continued compliance with all of your post-termination obligations to R1, an amount equal 2.00 times the sum of your (A) Base Salary and (B) Annual Bonus Plan target, which sum shall be paid bi-monthly in substantially equal installments for a period of twenty four (24) months following such termination; provided, however, that in the event of your termination of employment from the Company by you for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause, in each case, within twenty four (24) months following a Change of Control (as defined below), then such payment shall be made by the Company in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following your termination

 

  ii.

subject to (A) your timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), (B) your continued copayment of premiums at the same level and cost to you as if you were an employee of R1 (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an employee’s ability to pay premiums with pre-tax dollars), and (C) your continued compliance with all of your post-termination obligations to R1, continued participation in R1’s group health plan (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the terms of such plan) which covers you (and your eligible dependents) for a period of eighteen months following such termination at R1’s expense; provided that you are eligible and remain eligible for COBRA coverage; and provided, further, that in the event that you obtain other employment that offers group health benefits, such continuation of coverage by R1 will immediately cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, R1 will not be obligated to provide the foregoing continuation coverage if it would result in the imposition of excise taxes on R1 for failure to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended (to the extent applicable); and

 

  iii.

A prorated annual bonus for the calendar year in which your termination occurs, with the amount of such bonus based on the greater of (A) target performance and (B) actual performance results under the Annual Bonus Plan for such year and with the pro-ration determined by multiplying the amount of the annual bonus by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the year of termination that you were employed by the Company and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365), payable at the same time bonuses for the relevant year are paid to other senior executives of the Company but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the termination of your employment occurs.

 

  c.

Such release must be executed and delivered (and no longer subject to revocation, if applicable) within sixty days following termination. To the extent that payment of any amount of the Severance Payments constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of “Code Section 409A” (as defined below), any such payment scheduled to occur during the first sixty days following the termination of employment will not be paid until the sixtieth day following such termination of employment and will include payment of any amount that was otherwise scheduled to be paid prior thereto.

  d.

Your right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement, the Annual Bonus Plan, the LTI, the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, or any other plan under which you receive compensation shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments, and each such payment shall be a separately identified and determinable amount, to the maximum extent permitted under Code Section 409A.

Exhibit A

Employment Terms

 

1.

Your employment with R1 RCM Inc and R1 RCM Holdco Inc. (“R1” or “Company”) is “at will,” meaning it is terminable at any time by either you or R1, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

2.

Your employment with R1, as well as your role as an officer of R1 or any subsidiary, will terminate:

 

  a.

upon at least thirty days’ prior written notice to R1 of your voluntary termination of employment, with or without Good Reason (which R1 may, in its sole discretion, make effective earlier than any notice date);

 

  b.

as specified in a written notice by R1 to you of a termination of employment for Cause or without Cause (other than for Disability);

 

  c.

immediately upon your death; or

 

  d.

upon at least ten days’ prior written notice by R1 to you of your termination of employment due to Disability.

 

3.

Severance.

 

  a.

In the event of your termination of employment from R1 by reason of your death, Disability, or by R1 for Cause, you will be entitled to receive:

 

  i.

any unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination;

 

  ii.

except in the case of your termination by R1 for Cause, any annual bonus earned but unpaid with respect to the fiscal year ending on or preceding the date of termination, payable at the same time as it would have been paid had you not undergone a termination of employment;

 

  iii.

reimbursement in accordance with applicable Company policy for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination;

 

  iv.

any accrued but unused vacation time in accordance with Company policy; and

 

  v.

all other payments, benefits or fringe benefits to which you are entitled under the terms of any applicable compensation or equity arrangement or employee benefit plan or program of R1 (collectively, the foregoing payment and benefits described in clauses (i)-(v) will be hereafter referred to as the “Accrued Benefits”).

  b.

In the event of your termination of employment from R1 by R1 without Cause, or by you for Good Reason, R1 shall pay or provide you with the following severance benefits in addition to the Accrued Benefits:

 

  i.

subject to your continued compliance with all of your post-termination obligations to R1, an amount equal to your monthly Base Salary rate, paid monthly for a period of twelve months following such termination.

 

  ii.

subject to (A) your timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), (B) your continued copayment of premiums at the same level and cost to you as if you were an employee of R1 (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an employee’s ability to pay premiums with pre-tax dollars), and (C) your continued compliance with all of your post-termination obligations to R1, continued participation in R1’s group health plan (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the terms of such plan) which covers you (and your eligible dependents) for a period of twelve months following such termination at R1’s expense; provided that you are eligible and remain eligible for COBRA coverage; and provided, further, that in the event that you obtain other employment that offers group health benefits, such continuation of coverage by R1 will immediately cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, R1 will not be obligated to provide the foregoing continuation coverage if it would result in the imposition of excise taxes on R1 for failure to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended (to the extent applicable); and

 

  iii.

A lump sum equal to your target Annual Bonus Plan target.

 

  c.

Payment of all amounts described in part (b) above, excluding the Accrued Benefits (the “Severance Payments”) will only be payable if you deliver to R1 and do not revoke a general release of claims in favor of R1 and its affiliates in a form reasonably satisfactory to R1. Such release must be executed and delivered (and no longer subject to revocation, if applicable) within sixty days following termination. To the extent that payment of any amount of the Severance Payments constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of “Code Section 409A” (as defined below), any such payment scheduled to occur during the first sixty days following the termination of employment will not be paid until the sixtieth day following such termination of employment and will include payment of any amount that was otherwise scheduled to be paid prior thereto.

 

  d.

It is intended that all payments and benefits under this Agreement, the Annual Bonus Plan, the LTI, the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, and any other plan under which you receive compensation shall comply with, or be exempt from, Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement and such other agreements and plans will be interpreted in accordance with such intention.

  b.

A termination of employment will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amount or benefit that is “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms will mean a “separation from service.” If on the date of your termination you are a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A, any payment or benefit that is “nonqualified deferred compensation” that is payable on account of a “separation from service” (as such terms are defined for purposes of Code Section 409A), such payment or benefit will be made or provided at the date that is the earliest of (a) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of your “separation from service,” (b) the date of your death, or (c) such other date that such payment or benefit may be provided without incurring any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A.

With regard to any reimbursement to you of any costs and expenses or the provision of any in-kind benefits, except as otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A, (a) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (b) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year will not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind to be provided, in any other taxable year, and (c) such payments will be made on or before the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred (it being understood that notwithstanding this (c), any reimbursements to you will be made promptly after you have substantially complied with R1’s policy regarding the reimbursement of expenses).

 

10


  d.

Your right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement, the Annual Bonus Plan, the LTI, the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, or any other plan under which you receive compensation shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments, and each such payment shall be a separately identified and determinable amount, to the maximum extent permitted under Code Section 409A. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment within a period of days, the actual date of payment within such specified period will be within the sole discretion of R1.

 

  e.

In no event will any payment that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

 

7.

R1 RCM Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

Murray, Utah - November 8, 2022 - R1 RCM Inc. (NASDAQ: RCM), a leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers, today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Results:

 

   

Revenue of $496.0 million, up $116.3 million or 30.6% compared to the same period last year.

 

   

GAAP net loss of $29.5 million, compared to net income of $17.0 million in the same period last year. GAAP net loss was negatively impacted by a $9.5 million increase in allowance for credit losses.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $124.0 million, up $34.7 million or 38.9% compared to the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by a $9.5 million increase in allowance for credit losses.

“While we made progress on our strategic priorities in the third quarter, including integrating Cloudmed, advancing our technology roadmap, and onboarding new customers, our results fell short of our expectations due to operational and customer-specific factors,” said Joe Flanagan, chief executive officer of R1. “We are actively working to address these issues and remain very optimistic about our competitive position and long-term growth trajectory.”

“Demand for our solutions remains robust and we are focused on successfully onboarding the new customers we added earlier this year,” added Rachel Wilson, chief financial officer and treasurer. “Cloudmed performed strongly in the quarter, and while we saw pressure on our incentive fees, we remain confident that the factors affecting performance should return to normal in the coming quarters.”

2022 Outlook

For 2022, R1 now expects to generate:

 

   

Revenue of between $1,790 million and $1,800 million

 

   

GAAP operating loss of $8 million to $13 million

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $420 million to $425 million


Leadership Succession

In a separate press release issued today, R1 RCM also announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Lee Rivas to succeed Joseph Flanagan as Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2023, and Mr. Rivas will join the Company’s Board. John Sparby, who currently serves as Chief Operating Officer, has been named President, effective January 1, 2023.

Conference Call and Webcast Details

R1’s management team will host a conference call today at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its financial results and business outlook. To participate, please dial 888-330-2022 (646-960-0690 outside the U.S. and Canada) using conference code number 5681952. A live webcast and replay of the call will be available at the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at ir.r1rcm.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by R1’s management team in financial and operational decision making, the Company supplements its GAAP consolidated financial statements with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP cost of services, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, and net debt. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income before net interest income/expense, income tax provision/benefit, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2, L.P. (“Coyco 2”) share-based compensation expense, and certain other items, including business acquisition costs, integration costs, strategic initiatives, and the global business services center expansion project in the Philippines. Non-GAAP cost of services is defined as GAAP cost of services less share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2 share-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization expense attributed to cost of services. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses is defined as GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses less share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2 share-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization expense attributed to selling, general and administrative expenses. Net debt is defined as debt less cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of restricted cash. Adjusted EBITDA guidance is reconciled to operating income guidance, the most closely comparable available GAAP measure.

Our board of directors and management team use adjusted EBITDA as (i) one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations and (ii) a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain executive incentive compensation programs, as well as for incentive compensation programs for employees. Non-GAAP cost of services and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses are used to calculate adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is used as a supplemental measure of our liquidity.


Tables 4 through 9 present a reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Information Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, including Adjusted EBITDA (and related measures), have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. Please refer to the Appendix located at the end of this presentation for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Third Quarter 2022 Results Revenue of $496.0 million was up $116.3 million or 30.6%, compared to the same period last year GAAP net loss of $29.5 million, compared to GAAP net income of $17.0 million in the same period last year, negatively impacted by a $9.5 million increase in allowance for credit losses Adjusted EBITDA1 of $124.0 million was up $34.7 million or 38.9% compared to the same period last year, reflecting contribution from Cloudmed but negatively impacted by a $9.5 million increase in allowance for credit losses Lower incentive fee revenue due to: Longer payer reimbursement turnaround times Volatility in key performance indicator (KPI) metrics at two operating partner customers Lower net operating fees due to weaker volumes and unfavorable M&A in emergency department physician groups $9.5 million increase in allowance for credit losses related to a large emergency department aggregator customer Cloudmed performed well, with revenue of $120.2 million and strong year-over-year growth Note1: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure; please refer to the Appendix for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income before net interest income/expense, income tax provision/benefit, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2, L.P. (“CoyCo 2”) share-based compensation expense, and certain other items, including business acquisition costs, integration costs, strategic initiatives, and the global business services center expansion project in the Philippines. Non-GAAP cost of services is defined as GAAP cost of services less share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2 share-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization expense attributed to cost of services. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses is defined as GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses less share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2 share-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization expense attributed to selling, general and administrative expenses. Net debt is defined as debt less cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of restricted cash. Adjusted EBITDA guidance is reconciled to operating income guidance, the most closely comparable available GAAP measure. Our board of directors and management team use adjusted EBITDA as (i) one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations and (ii) a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain executive incentive compensation programs, as well as for incentive compensation programs for employees. A reconciliation of GAAP operating income guidance to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2022 is provided below.

R1 RCM Announces Leadership Succession Plan

Lee Rivas Appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2023; Joseph Flanagan to Continue Serving on Board

John Sparby, Chief Operating Officer, Appointed President

MURRAY, Utah, November 8, 2022 — R1 RCM Inc. (NASDAQ: RCM) (“R1” or the “Company”), a leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers, today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Lee Rivas to succeed Joseph Flanagan as Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2023, at which time Mr. Rivas will also join the Company’s Board. Mr. Flanagan will step down effective January 1, 2023, following a distinguished nearly 10-year career with R1, and will continue to serve as a member of the Company’s Board. As part of a planned succession process, Mr. Flanagan will transition to serve as Executive Advisor to the CEO.

In addition, John Sparby, who joined the Company in 2004 and currently serves as Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Rivas as President, effective January 1, 2023.

“With the integration of Cloudmed nearing a successful completion, this is the right time for an orderly leadership transition,” said Mr. Flanagan. “Lee and I have worked closely together over the past year, and his leadership, experience, skills and passion make him the ideal person to lead our company. I am confident Lee and our team will continue to build upon R1’s long track record of delivering results to our provider partners, transforming the patient experience, supporting our global employees and driving shareholder value.”

“After almost 10 years with the Company, Joe has been transparent about his desire to transition from the CEO role in order to spend more time with his family,” said Anthony J. Speranzo, Chair of the R1 Board. “The Board and Joe have regularly discussed succession planning, and today’s announcement is the culmination of that work.
