How do I cast my vote?

Beneficial Stockholders. If you hold your shares through a broker, trustee or other nominee, you are a beneficial stockholder. In order to vote your shares, please refer to the materials forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee for instructions on how to vote the shares you hold as a beneficial stockholder.

Registered Stockholders. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote at the Annual Meeting, vote by proxy over the telephone, vote by proxy through the Internet or vote by proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote even if you have already voted by proxy.

The Board has appointed John Kao and Thomas Freeman to serve as proxy holders to vote your shares according to the instructions you submit. If you properly submit a proxy but do not indicate how

you want your shares to be voted on one or more items, your shares will be voted on such items in accordance with the recommendations of our Board as set forth above under “What will I be voting on?” With respect to any other matter properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy, if properly submitted, gives authority to the proxy holders to vote your shares on such matter in accordance with their best judgment.

4

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals, and how are the votes counted?

What is a “broker non-vote”?

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner, but does have discretionary voting power over other items and submits votes for those matters. As discussed above, if you hold shares through a broker or other nominee and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares may not be voted with respect to certain proposals, including the proposals listed above that are not considered “routine” and therefore discretionary voting by the broker or other NYSE member is not permitted. Among the matters submitted to the vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting, only Proposal 3 is considered a “routine” matter.

5

What constitutes a “quorum”?

A “quorum” is the presence at the Annual Meeting, virtually or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Shares may be voted at the Annual Meeting by a signed proxy card, by telephone instruction, or electronically on the Internet. There must be a quorum for the Annual Meeting to be held. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

When will the results of the vote be announced?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

What is the deadline for submitting a stockholder proposal or director nomination for the 2025 Annual Meeting?

Stockholder proposals pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for Alignment’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2025 must be received by us at our principal executive offices at 1100 W. Town & Country Rd., Suite 1600, Orange, CA 92868 no later than the close of business on [   ], 2024. Stockholders wishing to make a director nomination or bring a proposal before the annual meeting to be held in 2025 (but not include it in our proxy materials) must provide written notice of such nomination or proposal to the General Counsel and Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than the close of business on March 9, 2025 and not earlier than the close of business on February 7, 2025, assuming we do not change the date of the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders by more than 30 days before or after the anniversary of the 2024 Annual Meeting. If we do, written notice of the proposal or nomination must be delivered by the later of (x) the tenth day following the day that public announcement of the date of the 2025 annual meeting is first made, or (y) the date which is ninety (90) days prior to the date of the 2025 annual meeting. Any stockholder proposal or director nomination must comply with the other provisions of our Amended and Restated Bylaws and be submitted in writing to the General Counsel and Secretary at our principal executive offices in the form provided for in our Amended and Restated Bylaws.

Additionally, to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 8, 2025. If the date of the 2025 annual meeting changes by more than 30 calendar days before or after the anniversary of the 2024 Annual Meeting, such notice must instead be provided by the later of 60 calendar days prior to the date of the 2025 annual meeting or the 10^th calendar day following public announcement by the Company of the date of the 2025 annual meeting.

About Us

Alignment is a next generation, consumer-centric platform designed to improve the health care experience for seniors. We deliver this experience through our Medicare Advantage plans, which are customized to meet the needs of a diverse array of seniors. Our innovative model of consumer-centric health care is purpose-built to provide seniors with care as it should be: high quality, low cost and accompanied by a vastly improved consumer experience. We combine a proprietary technology platform and a high-touch clinical model that enhances our members’ lifestyles and health outcomes while simultaneously controlling costs, which allows us to reinvest savings back into our platform and products to directly benefit the senior consumer. As of January 1, 2024, we had approximately 155,500 members enrolled in our health maintenance organization and preferred provider organization contracts in 53 markets across six states. Our ultimate goal is to bring this differentiated, advocacy-driven health care experience to millions of senior consumers in the United States and to become the most trusted senior health care brand in the country.

Our platform was developed to align with the six core principles that we believe will be required to successfully deliver health care in the 21st century and that we believe represent our key competitive strengths. Our platform enables us to:

Our Director Nominees

You are being asked to vote on the election of the four Class III Directors listed below. For additional information about each nominee’s background and experience, please see “Proposal 1 – Election of Directors—Director Nominees to Serve for a Three-Year Term Expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting” beginning on page 13.

Board Diversity

The Board believes that a diverse board is better able to effectively oversee the Company’s management and strategy and better positions us to deliver long-term value for our stockholders. Our Board recognizes that gender, racial or ethnic diversity, tenure and experience add to the overall mix of perspectives of our Board as a whole. The following charts present the diversity profile of the directors currently serving on our Board:

Stockholder Engagement Highlights

In 2023-2024, we continued our robust stockholder engagement program. We proactively engage with stockholders and other stakeholders throughout the year to learn more about their perspectives on significant issues, including company performance and strategy, executive compensation and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters. We take feedback and insights from our engagement with stockholders and other stakeholders into consideration as we review and evolve our practices and disclosures, and share this feedback with our Board, as appropriate. For more information, see “Corporate Governance—Stockholder Engagement” on page 34.

Corporate Governance Highlights

We are committed to governance practices that promote the long-term interests of our stockholders, strengthen Board and management accountability and continue to build trust in our Company. The Board regularly reviews our governance profile to ensure that it reflects the evolving governance landscape applicable to our Company and appropriately supports and serves the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. For more information, see “Corporate Governance” beginning on page 23.

Executive Compensation Highlights

Our executive compensation philosophy is to forge critical connections between performance, long-term value creation, employee engagement and retention, compensation governance and our cultural values. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the elements of our compensation program at least annually, with input from an independent compensation consultant. In 2023, we included within our executive compensation program performance share units aimed at trying executive compensation directly to the achievement of certain corporate metrics. Otherwise, the 2023 program remained largely consistent with our 2022 program. The program is described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement beginning on page 41. We believe the following practices and policies within our program promote sound compensation governance and are in the best interests of our stockholders and executives:

The following table illustrates the elements of pay we currently employ, the manner in which we position these elements relative to the market and the objectives achieved by each element:

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board recommends that the nominees below be elected as Class III members of the Board at the Annual Meeting for a term expiring at the 2027 Meeting of Stockholders:

Each nominee was recommended for re-election by the NCGCC for consideration by the Board and our stockholders. If, before the Annual Meeting, any nominee becomes unable to serve, or chooses not to serve, the Board may nominate a substitute. If that happens, the persons named as proxies on the proxy card will vote for the substitute. Alternatively, the Board may either let the vacancy stay unfilled until an appropriate candidate is identified or reduce the size of the Board to eliminate the unfilled seat, subject to the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below).

Vote Required and Recommendation of the Board of Directors

A plurality of the votes cast by the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to elect each nominee named herein. This means that the four nominees receiving the highest number of votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected, even if those votes do not constitute a majority of the votes cast. Shares not present at the Annual Meeting and broker non-votes have no effect on the election of directors. Abstentions are not applicable to this vote.

Continuing Directors

The following table summarizes key facts regarding the members of our Board whose terms are continuing beyond the Annual Meeting:

Nomination Criteria and Director Experience

Identifying Nominees for Directors

The Board has delegated an established screening process for director nominees to the NCGCC, with counsel from our Chairman, our Lead Independent Director, our Chief Executive Officer, and outside consultants as appropriate. The goal of the screening process is to assemble a group of potential board members with deep, varied experience, sound judgment, and commitment to the Company’s success.

The NCGCC regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board, the areas of expertise required to effectively contribute to the Board process, and whether any vacancies are anticipated. It also annually assesses the director qualification criteria to ensure the Board has appropriate skill composition consistent with the Company’s long-term business, operations goals, growth strategy and risks. This includes (i) qualifications or characteristics that are expected and befitting of all directors and (ii) specific skills, experience or qualifications that should be represented collectively on our Board. As a result of its analysis, the NCGCC may recommend to the Board a need for an additional director, Board refreshment for certain requisite skills and qualifications, and/or the replacement of an existing director for other credible reasons. The self-identification process may also incorporate responses, as appropriate, from the Board’s annual individual self-evaluations. Such evaluations require each director to honestly reflect upon and recount their personal contributions to the Board in the prior year and to provide feedback regarding their performance, the overall Board performance and the performance of certain other key Board positions. See “Corporate Governance—Board Evaluation Practices.”

19

The NCGCC will consider qualified candidates for director nominees suggested by the Company’s stockholders. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for director nominees by writing to the Chief Legal & Administrative Officer of the Company at 1100 W. Town & Country Rd., Suite 1600, Orange, CA 92868. Submissions should include the information about the director candidate and the stockholder making the submission that would otherwise be required by Article II, Section 11(b) of our Bylaws if the stockholder was nominating the individual for election to our Board. Submissions received that include such information, and provided that the recommended candidate meets the criteria described above, are forwarded to the NCGCC for further review and consideration. The committee may also request additional information concerning the director candidate that it deems reasonably required to determine the eligibility and qualification of the director candidate to serve on our Board. Stockholders suggesting director candidates for consideration by our Board in connection with the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders should provide their submission pursuant to the deadlines described above under “Commonly Asked Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting.” The NCGCC does not intend to evaluate candidates proposed by stockholders any differently from other candidates.

As part of the process of identifying appropriate director candidates, the NCGCC formally reviews each director’s continuation on the Board every three years. As part of its formal review of directors, the NCGCC considers all factors which it deems appropriate, including director performance, any other directorships held by the director, whether the director undertook continuing director education and any other criteria approved by the Board.

Director Skills and Qualifications

The NCGCC has identified qualifications, attributes, skills and experience that are important to be represented on the Board as a whole, in light of the Company’s current needs and business priorities. The NCGCC recognizes that our Board should represent a diverse group of experience, skills and other qualities, and as a collective group should have expertise in certain substantive areas including: corporate governance, finance/capital markets, board of directors experience, health care industry experience, clinical practice, CEO or other C-suite experience with significant business acumen, direct to consumer marketing, diversity, experience with complex organizations, technology/business processes, government relations and/or public policy and regulatory knowledge and other skills and expertise that are likely to enhance the Board’s ability to manage and direct the affairs and business of the Company. Certain directors or director nominees may possess expertise in the designated areas, however a director or director nominee need not individually possess the experience, skill or other requisite qualification in all areas. Among other key areas, the NCGCC seeks directors with the following types of experience:

20

Additionally, director nominees must possess high integrity and ethical standards; standing and reputation in the individual’s field; risk oversight ability with respect to the particular skills of the individual director; understanding of and experience with complex public companies or like organizations; and ability to work collegially and collaboratively with other directors and management. The NCGCC charter requires that candidates are to be selected for, among other things, their independence, diversity of experience, demonstrated leadership and the ability to exercise sound judgment.

Our director nominations are subject to an agreement with our Lead Sponsors (defined below). See “Corporate Governance—Board Composition and Director Independence.”

The NCGCC developed and maintains a skills matrix to assist in considering the appropriate balance of experience, skills and attributes required of a director and to be represented on the Board as a whole. The skills matrix is consistent with the Company’s long-term strategic plan and is regularly reviewed and updated by the NCGCC. The NCGCC evaluates Board candidates against the skills matrix on an annual basis to determine whether to recommend candidates for initial election to the Board and whether to recommend currently serving directors for reelection to the Board. The NCGCC has determined that our Board collectively satisfies all of the above criteria, complementing each other’s skills, background and perspectives to create a collection of diverse, knowledgeable and experienced directors.

21

The following chart represents the skills matrix as currently constituted by the NCGCC:

Director Diversity

In addressing issues of diversity, the NCGCC considers a nominee’s gender, ethnicity, tenure, skills and experience. The NCGCC believes that diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints is a key attribute for a director nominee. While the NCGCC carefully considers diversity when determining Board composition, it has not established a separate formal policy regarding diversity.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board and Corporate Governance Highlights

We are committed to governance practices that promote the long-term interests of our stockholders, strengthen Board and management accountability and continue to build trust in our Company. Our governance framework is described throughout this proxy statement and includes the following highlights:

23

Board Composition and Director Independence

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board, which is composed of eleven directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our Board. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement among us, funds managed by General Atlantic and Warburg Pincus LLC (“Warburg Pincus” and, together with General Atlantic, the “Lead Sponsors”; such agreement, the “Stockholders Agreement”) prohibits us from increasing or decreasing the size of our Board without the prior written consent of General Atlantic.

Our certificate of incorporation also provides that our Board will be divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Subject to any earlier resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our Class I directors are Mr. Carella, Dr. McClellan and Mr. Vorhoff, who will serve until our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, our Class II directors are Ms. Bilney, Mr. Hodgson, Dr. Kosecoff and Mr. Margolis, who will serve until our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, and our Class III directors are Ms. Jorden, Mr. Kao, Mr. Konowiecki and Ms. McCarthy, who are nominees for election at the Annual Meeting to a three-year term ending at our annual meeting of stockholders in 2027. This classification of our Board could have the effect of increasing the length of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of the Board. In general, at least two annual meetings of stockholders will be necessary for stockholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of the Board. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that directors may be removed for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66^2/3%) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock, at a meeting of our stockholders called for that purpose.

Our Board has also determined that all directors (except Mr. Kao and Mr. Konowiecki, who both serve or previously served as employees of the Company) meet the requirements to be independent directors. In making this determination, our Board considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances that our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including beneficial ownership of our common stock and affiliations with our Lead Sponsors.

The Stockholders Agreement provides (x) General Atlantic the right to designate: (i) four of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as its beneficially owns at least 35% of our common stock then outstanding; (ii) three of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as it beneficially owns less than 35% but at least 25% of our common stock then outstanding; (iii) two of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as it beneficially owns less than 25% but at least 15% of our common stock then outstanding; and (iv) one of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as it beneficially owns less than 15% but at least 5% of our common stock then outstanding and (y) Warburg Pincus the right to designate one of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as Warburg Pincus beneficially owns at least 5% of our common stock then outstanding.

In addition, until such time as any Lead Sponsor ceases to beneficially own at least 10% of our common stock then outstanding, such Lead Sponsor shall have the right to designate one member of each committee of the Board; provided, that any such designee shall be a director and shall be eligible to

24

serve on the applicable committee under applicable law or stock exchange listing standards, including any applicable independence requirements (subject in each case to any applicable exceptions, including those for newly public companies and any applicable phase-in periods).

The Stockholders Agreement also provides that until such time as General Atlantic ceases to beneficially own at least 15% of our common stock then outstanding, General Atlantic may select the chairperson of the Compensation Committee of the Board from among the directors then in office.

Board Leadership Structure

We structure leadership of our Board in a manner that we believe is best suited to benefit the Company and its performance. We separate our chair of the Board (the “Board Chair”) and Chief Executive Officer to ensure that the Board maintains robust, independent processes with respect to oversight of our business and affairs. The Board Chair has the following duties:

From October 2022 to December 2023, our current Board Chair, Mr. Konowiecki, assumed a role as an executive officer leading our strategic network and business development, and accordingly he is not currently considered an independent director under Nasdaq and SEC rules. Given his longstanding role as Board Chair, his expertise in the health care industry and his strong oversight of the Company’s legal, compliance and risk management functions, among others, the Board determined that it would be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for Mr. Konowiecki to serve concurrently as the Board Chair during the term of his employment. Upon Mr. Konowiecki’s appointment to the executive role, in order to reinforce the independence of our Board in its guidance of the Company’s strategic direction and its oversight role, the Board also appointed Ms. McCarthy to serve as a lead independent director (“Lead Independent Director”). In considering her appointment, the Board determined that Ms. McCarthy’s expertise, independence and integrity qualified her to serve as Lead Independent Director. The Board intends to maintain the Lead Independent Director role, which will be elected solely by the independent members of the Board, so long as the Chairman is not considered an independent director under Nasdaq and SEC rules. The Board determined that the Lead Independent Director would have the following duties and authority:

25

Collectively, we believe that our Board Chair and Lead Independent Director are well positioned to objectively evaluate and oversee management’s performance, ensure management accountability, implement and enforce strong corporate governance and align management with the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Board believes the advisability of having separate or combined Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer positions, or of appointing to Board Chair to an executive role, is dependent upon the strengths of the individual or individuals that hold these positions and the most effective means of leveraging these strengths, to lead the Board, set Board agendas, augment the Company’s strategic efforts, support management, and identify and oversee key risks in light of the challenges and circumstances facing the Company, which may change over time. At any time during which the Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair positions are combined, or during which the Board Chair is not independent, the Board would appoint a Lead Independent Director. Our stockholders would be notified promptly upon the occurrence of any changes to our current Board leadership structure. We are continually seeking stockholder input on important matters, including our governance structure, through our stockholder engagement program.

The independent directors have the opportunity to meet in executive session without members of management as often as they deem appropriate, but at a minimum do so at each regularly scheduled quarterly Board meeting. Our Board leadership structure also includes active and empowered committee chairs, who lead oversight of specific risk areas, regularly provide reports and make recommendations to the Board and who consult directly with members of Company management on a variety of matters.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

One of our Board’s key functions is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our Board administers this oversight function directly as well as through the Board’s standing committees. Our officers are responsible for day-to-day management of the material risks that the Company takes. Management and the Board and committees view their respective risk management roles, and the collaboration amongst them in the identification, oversight, evaluation and management of risk, as paramount to the Company’s short-term viability and long-term sustainability.

26

Both our Board and our Board committees receive periodic and incidental reports as matters may arise directly from our Chief Compliance and Privacy Officer, our General Counsel, and our accounting personnel overseeing our internal audit function. Our Chief Compliance and Privacy Officer reports to our President, Markets, and our General Counsel reports to our Chief Executive Officer. Such reports include information regarding potential violations of our Code of Conduct, our ethics hotline activity and other complaints we may receive regarding potential ethics violations or our financial controls, accounting and other auditing matters.

Our approach to risk oversight takes into account the immediacy of the risk assessed and its potential severity. Management and our committee chairs are responsible for promptly reporting findings regarding material risk exposures to the Board. Our Board, with leadership from the NCGCC, assesses, at least annually, our committee structure and the appropriateness of delegation of particular areas of risk oversight to such committees.

The Company’s risk oversight process is also integrated into the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, including risk disclosures contained within our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company utilizes a cross-functional enterprise team to review and draft the Company’s disclosures, including a Disclosure Committee that provides reports to executive management and the Board.

Management and the Board and Board Committees engage outside advisors where appropriate to assist in the identification, oversight, evaluation and management of the risks facing the Company. These outside advisors include the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, external legal counsel and insurance providers, and the independent compensation consultant retained by the Compensation Committee.

27

Board Committees

The composition, duties and responsibilities of our committees are as set forth below. In the future, our Board may establish other committees, as it deems appropriate, to assist it with its responsibilities.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Jorden, Mr. Margolis and Ms. McCarthy, with Mr. Margolis serving as chair of the committee. We comply with the audit committee requirements of the SEC and Nasdaq, which require that the Audit Committee be composed entirely of independent directors. Our Board has determined that each of the current members of the Audit Committee meet the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. In addition, our Board has determined that each of Mr. Margolis and Ms. Jorden is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. This designation does not impose any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on members of our audit committee and our Board. Furthermore, by virtue of their designation as “audit committee financial experts,” Mr. Margolis and Ms. Jorden meet the applicable “financial sophistication” requirement of the Nasdaq listing standards.

The written charter for our Audit Committee is available on the investor relations section of our website at https://ir.alignmenthealth.com/. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include:

The committee may also retain independent counsel and other independent advisors to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities.

Board Oversight of Environmental, Social and Governance Matters

Following the closing of our initial public offering (“IPO”) in March 2021, we began to more formally align our ESG efforts with our long-standing commitment to operating our business in a socially responsible and sustainable manner that takes into account the interests of all our stakeholders. Our Board has formally designated our NCGCC with the responsibility for Board-level oversight of the Company’s ESG strategy, practices and reporting. In addition, our executive management team established an ESG steering committee to guide the integration of our ESG efforts with our long-term business strategy.

Our Mission and Values

Alignment Healthcare was founded in 2013 with one mission in mind: improving healthcare one senior at a time. We pursue this mission by relentlessly focusing on our core values:

We created Alignment based on the frustrating experiences we had when our parents and other loved ones needed health care. We saw firsthand the complexity they faced as seniors attempting to navigate care delivery and insurance without an advocate to create an integrated consumer experience that provides holistic and quality care at an affordable price. Our parents and seniors across the country are systemically and disproportionately impacted by the absence of care coordination, poor information transparency and misaligned incentives that characterize the health care system.

Our team of highly experienced health care leaders created the Alignment model to incorporate the lessons we have learned over decades spent serving senior consumers. We believe that by combining our experienced, mission-driven team with purpose-built technology we have found a way to address the unmet needs of senior consumers and to do well by doing good. Our ultimate goal is to bring this differentiated, advocacy-driven health care experience to millions of senior consumers in the United States and to become the most trusted senior health care brand in the country.

Our ESG Focus: Serving People, Serving the Environment and Serving Responsibly

Our company name, Alignment Healthcare, reflects one of our founding principles: to align all stakeholders in the health care ecosystem around doing what is best for the senior. Our belief in the importance of alignment goes beyond our business model—we believe it’s the right thing to do. In order to achieve our mission and sustain business excellence, we approach each aspect of our business and operations with integrity, corporate responsibility, and ethics in mind to protect and enhance the interests of each of our stakeholders—every one of our seniors and their families, our regulatory constituents including the CMS, our team of passionate employees and clinicians, our external provider and delivery system partners and our stockholders.

We believe that proactively managing our ESG impacts supports our mission and reflects our commitment to best serve the long-term interests of our stakeholders. The alignment of our ESG strategy with our corporate strategy amplifies and strengthens the positive long-term impact we can have on our members, employees, stockholders, and the environment. It also promotes long-term value creation for our stockholders and other stakeholders. To support our efforts in this area, we created an ESG steering committee in 2021, consisting of dedicated internal resources and external advisors to address the ESG factors that are material to our business and our stakeholders.

The three pillars to our ESG approach are the following:

31

Our aim is to continue fortifying each pillar and to operate with transparency in a way that always puts seniors first, and respects all people, communities and the environment.

Serving Seniors with Our Differentiated Model

Medicare Advantage allows one entity to influence the entirety of a senior’s health care experience through a singular, direct-to-consumer product. Our value of acting with a serving heart supports our efforts to drive the convergence between traditional Medicare Advantage benefits with social determinants of health and consumerism, ultimately for the long-term wellbeing of our seniors.

We contract with CMS under the Medicare Advantage program to provide health insurance coverage to Medicare-eligible people in exchange for a payment per member per month (“PMPM”). The economic construct of the Medicare Advantage program is designed to reward plans that achieve the triple aim of high-quality care, low costs and a better experience. Under these value-based contracts, we assume the economic risk of funding our members’ health care, supplemental benefits and related administration costs. By transferring the economic risk to managed care companies like Alignment, CMS has enabled us to focus on proactive, cross-disciplinary care targeted at improving health outcomes and lowering unnecessary health care expenditures. Due to the competitive nature of CMS’s bidding system, only those plans that are able to provide low cost and high-quality outcomes will be able to offer enhanced benefit options, which is critical to achieving sustainable membership and growth on a long-term basis. This value-based business model capitalizes on health outcomes, not fees, and is designed to serve all members while emphasizing preventative care and benefits.

We achieve our differentiated outcomes through the utilization of AVA, our proprietary technology platform. AVA leverages a vast amount of data to curate insights which we use to allocate health resources to our members, driving the creation of an end-to-end, low-cost, high-quality care model. Our focus on driving clinical care through our employed clinical teams to high-risk members, while supporting and enabling preventative care through our network of providers for the remaining population, allows our value-based care model to optimize the utilization of resources and strengthen sustainability of our product offering. Our improved health outcomes allow us to provide individualized, supplemental benefits and products that meet the needs of our seniors, including critical-health support, transportation services, financial support for groceries and non-prescription products, and demographic-based and culturally relevant resources.

The health outcomes of our members, due to our differentiated model, has resulted in approximately 93% of our members reporting their overall satisfaction with Alignment’s case management services, in addition to exceptional quality outcomes, including 38% lower inpatient admissions per thousand than traditional Medicare.*

* Estimated 2023 At-Risk member inpatient utilization relative to 2019 Medicare FFS inpatient utilization representative of Alignment’s population mix by county (based on membership as of 2023).

Human Resources

We are focused on building a company that is transforming health care by putting seniors first, and our employees are critical to our success. Our human resources strategy focuses on meeting business objectives by attracting, developing, engaging and retaining a high-performing, diverse workforce. As of

32

December 31, 2023, we had 1,536 full-time employees, in addition to seasonal employees who assist with the Medicare annual enrollment period.

We believe that an engaged, innovative and productive workforce is essential to supporting our company’s mission of changing health care one senior at a time, as well as our values of putting our members first, supporting our physicians, applying technology to improve care and having a serving heart. Each year, we conduct an employee survey that enables our leaders to develop action plans to further enhance employee engagement and productivity.

We recognize that diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”) is crucial as we scale and build our high-performing team. We intend for our DEI strategy to be embedded in each aspect of the processes, programs and structures that drive our talent lifecycle: attraction, recruitment, onboarding, development and retention efforts. As of December 31, 2023:

The future success of our company will depend, in part, on our continued ability to attract, develop and retain the best talent as we grow and scale the organization. Our talent acquisition and management strategies are designed to ensure that we create and develop a pipeline of outstanding physicians, clinical employees, and business leaders. A key component of our corporate sustainability and success is learning and development. We are intentional in our efforts to provide all employees opportunities to grow. Our training and development programs for employees focus on enhancing and developing talent within the Company. All of our employees can access the training of their choice on-demand through our learning and development platform. We are currently designing additional training programs and resources for both new hires and longer-tenured employees that will educate them on critical functional areas within the organization.

Our compensation and incentive plans are designed to attract, retain and reward employees by granting cash-based performance and stock-based awards. By motivating individuals to achieve business objectives and perform to the best of their abilities, they support the success of the Company and the increase of stockholder value. We also provide comprehensive medical benefits, a positive work/life balance, generous paid time off, health and wellness programs, and learning and development opportunities. We regularly evaluate each aspect of compensation and benefits to ensure they align with the market and our peers.

We value the safety of our employees and have created a largely remote-work environment during the pandemic. Our current workforce model has employees working in a hybrid-remote fashion, with some member-facing employees having returned to an in-person work environment. We plan on implementing a workforce strategy that further enhances our ability to attract the best talent nationally and continues to provide our employees with a healthy work-life balance.

Our Board believes that human resources management is an essential component of our continued growth and success. Management regularly reports to our Board for input on important decisions related to human resources, including corporate culture, safety, compliance, talent management, organizational development, compensation and benefits.

Protecting Data Privacy

As we are a company that leverages data, technology and analytics to improve health care, we invest in long-term solutions to address current and foreseeable risks and threats to data security and privacy, while also enabling technological development that enhances the member experience. We recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data. Our strict protection and security measures have resulted in zero security incident-related disruptions or downtime to our business continuity.

Our data security and privacy program is overseen by our Chief Information Security Officer who reports to our Chief Information Officer and Audit Committee of the Board. Our Chief Information Security Officer has served in that role since December 2022, has over 25 years of diverse leadership experience in the healthcare information space (including over 20 years as a certified information systems security professional and chief information security officer) and holds advanced degrees in information technology management and computer science.

In 2021, we received the externally validated HITRUST certification, the gold standard compliance framework in the health care industry. Through our data security and privacy program and policies, we adhere to the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), other federal regulations and best practices within the health care industry. Moreover, our risk analysis methodology is consistent with ISO 27001, the Federal Information Security Management Act and the U.S. Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology and Center for Internet Security Special Publication 800-66.

We have designed and deployed a comprehensive cybersecurity risk management program that is embedded in our broader risk management framework, all of which is overseen by our Board of Directors. Our program is designed to include ongoing assessment of our critical assets; detection and analysis of potential threats; timely management of identified security risks; and prompt remediation planning and implementation. To successfully operate and monitor our security readiness, we maintain a data security and privacy team with substantial real-world experience to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats. Our multi-layered security is bolstered by technologies and partners and includes annual employee and vendor security awareness trainings, enhanced access control, data loss protection and vulnerability management, among other technical and process security controls. Our proprietary data architecture, AVA, incorporates high security controls around member data. Our information security program considers how attackers are using emerging technologies (such as artificial intelligence) to help inform our defensive tactics. Our team also regularly reviews emerging product technology to improve our capabilities.

Stockholder Engagement

We are committed to effective corporate governance that is designed to promote the long-term interests of our stockholders. We proactively engage with stockholders and other stakeholders throughout the year to learn more about their perspectives on significant issues, including company performance and strategy, executive compensation and ESG matters. This engagement helps us better understand stockholder priorities, gives us an opportunity to elaborate upon our initiatives and practices, and fosters constructive dialogue. Our senior management and investor relations teams maintain regular contact with a broad base of investors through quarterly earnings calls, investor conferences and roundtables and individual meetings. We take feedback and insights from our engagement with stockholders and other stakeholders into consideration as we review and evolve our practices and disclosures, and share this feedback with our Board, as appropriate. Our Lead Sponsors, our two largest stockholders, are represented by directors they have nominated to serve on our Board. See “—Board Composition and Director Independence” above.

34

Family Relationships

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

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Our Compensation Committee is composed of Mr. Carella, Ms. Kosecoff and Mr. Vorhoff. None of the directors who served on our Compensation Committee at any time during fiscal 2023 were officers or associates of the Company or were former officers or associates of the Company. Further, none of the members who served on our Compensation Committee at any time during fiscal 2023 had any relationship with our Company requiring disclosure under the section of this proxy statement entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, executive officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A current copy of the code is posted on the investor relations section of our corporate website at https://ir.alignmenthealth.com/. To the extent required by applicable rules adopted by the SEC and Nasdaq, we intend to disclose future amendments to certain provisions of the code, or waivers of such provisions granted to executive officers and directors, in this location on our website at https://ir.alignmenthealth.com/.

Insider Trading Policy; Hedging and Other Transactions

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits all officers, directors, employees, family members and affiliated parties from buying, selling or engaging in transactions in our securities at any time while aware of material non-public information about the Company. It also prohibits them from disclosing material non-public information to persons outside the Company, i.e., “tipping.” These prohibitions apply to purchases and sales, as well as other types of transactions such as gifts, loans, contributions to a trust and broker-assisted cashless exercises of stock options.

Although we discourage speculative hedging transactions, under our Insider Trading Policy, we permit long-term hedging transactions that are designed to protect an individual’s investment in Company securities (i.e., the hedge must be for at least six months and relate to stock or options held by the individual). If an employee wishes to engage in any such transaction, the employee is required to pre-clear it in accordance with the procedures described in our Insider Trading Policy (even if the employee is not one of the persons otherwise required to submit his or her transaction in Company securities to pre-clearance). Alignment personnel and related parties are prohibited from purchasing Company securities on margin, pledging or otherwise granting a security interest in Company securities in margin accounts, engaging in short-sales and buying or selling puts, calls, options or other derivatives in respect of securities of the Company.

35

Board Evaluation Practices

The Board is committed to a rigorous self-evaluation process. Through evaluation, directors annually review the Board’s performance, including areas where the Board feels it functions effectively, and most importantly, areas where the Board can improve. The NCGCC, with additional leadership from our Chairman and Lead Independent Director, initiates the annual Board evaluation process. We believe that having a review process for the Board and each committee helps to (i) ensure an adequate representation of requisite skills; (ii) encourage high levels of engagement from directors; and (iii) strengthen the overall effectiveness of our Board. These evaluations are typically in written form, although they may also be in oral questionnaire form and may be administered by Board members, management or third-party consultants.

36

Each of our Board committees similarly engages in an annual performance evaluation and a general charter adequacy review. Each committee is responsible for determining the manner of evaluation and for carrying out the evaluation. Further, the Board evaluation questionnaire includes a section specifically concerning Board committee structure and performance, which is an opportunity for Board members to provide feedback on each committee, regardless of their individual committee membership. As a result of their annual review of the adequacy of their charters, the Board approved revised charters for each of our standing committees in February 2023.

Board and Committee Meetings

For the year ended December 31, 2023, our Board held seven regular and special meetings. Our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and NCGCC held four, six and three meetings, respectively during the year ended December 31, 2023. In 2023, except for Mr. Carella, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (1) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company (held during the period for which he or she was a director) and (2) the total number of meetings of all committees of the Board of Directors of the Company on which the director served (during the periods that he or she served). Mr. Carella attended approximately 70% of such meetings and was occasionally absent due to business scheduling conflicts. Directors are expected to attend the annual meeting of stockholders and all or substantially all of the Board meetings and meetings of committees on which they serve. All directors attended the annual meeting of stockholders in 2023.

Communications by Stockholders and Other Interested Parties with the Board

Stockholders and other interested parties may contact an individual director, the Board as a group, or a specified Board committee or group, including the non-management or non-Lead Sponsor directors as a group, by sending regular mail to:

Alignment Healthcare, Inc.

1100 W. Town & Country Rd., Suite 1600

Orange, CA 92868

ATTN: Board of Directors

c/o Chief Legal & Administrative Officer

Each communication should specify which director or directors the communication is addressed to, as well as the general topic of the communication. Alignment will receive the communications and process them before forwarding them to the addressee. Alignment may also refer communications to other departments within the Company. Alignment generally will not forward to the directors a communication that is primarily commercial in nature, relates to an improper or irrelevant topic, or requests general information regarding Alignment.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) explains our executive compensation program for our named executive officers (“Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”) listed below. This CD&A also describes the Compensation Committee’s process for making pay decisions, as well as its rationale for specific decisions related to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Executive Summary

Alignment is a next generation, consumer-centric platform designed to improve the healthcare experience for seniors. We deliver this experience through our Medicare Advantage plans, which are customized to meet the needs of a diverse array of seniors. Our innovative model of consumer-centric health care is purpose-built to provide seniors with care as it should be: high quality, low cost and accompanied by a vastly improved consumer experience. Our platform was developed to align with the six core principles that we believe will be required to successfully deliver health care in the 21st century and that represent our key competitive strengths. Our platform enables us to:

As we continue to mature as a public company, we are committed to our stockholder engagement efforts and open and ongoing dialogues with key stakeholders with respect to executive compensation to help ensure that we remain apprised of investor perspectives. We will also continue to consider the feedback we receive from our major stockholders as well as the outcome of say-on-pay votes when making compensation decisions regarding our NEOs.

2023 Business Highlights

Our focus on quality allowed us to deliver strong financial results in fiscal 2022. We believe that ongoing strategic investments in our people and technology will continue to drive meaningful improvements in the health and quality of life of all those we serve. The following key operational and financial highlights demonstrate our strong performance for 2023:

41

Adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. An explanation of these measures, how they are calculated and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Business Metrics” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in the Appendix to this proxy statement.

2023 Compensation Highlights

The Board of Directors and Compensation Committee made the following executive compensation decisions for fiscal 2023:

42

With respect to the September 2023 PSUs, our NEOs can earn between 0% to 150% of their target award depending on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics over a one-year period (i.e., fiscal year 2024). The Compensation Committee chose to measure performance for this grant using a one-year performance period, although the Compensation Committee intends to adopt PSUs contingent upon longer performance measurement cycles as the Company’s long-term incentive strategy evolves with respect to future grants. For more information, see “—2023 Executive Compensation Program in Detail—Long-Term Equity Incentives.”

2023 Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation (“Say on Pay”)

In 2023, our stockholders had their first opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers at the annual stockholder meeting, the results of which were that approximately 66.9% of the votes cast were in support for our program. The Compensation Committee is continuing to work closely with its independent compensation consultant to ensure that our program evolves at a pace that is in the best interests of our stockholders and executive team.

Compensation Best Practices & Policies

We believe the following practices and policies within our program promote sound compensation governance and are in the best interests of our stockholders and executives. We also believe that these principles have been instrumental in the Company’s retention and recruitment of executive talent and the

43

successful execution of the Company’s initiatives and our overall performance relative to the challenging macroeconomic factors experienced by our competitors.:

What Guides Our Program

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our executive compensation philosophy is to forge critical connections between performance, long-term value creation, employee engagement and retention, compensation governance and our cultural values. To that end, our executive compensation program is grounded in the following principles:

Elements of Pay

The executive compensation program uses a mix of fixed and variable pay, with an emphasis on variable pay. The program is structured to create a meaningful balance between achieving strong short-term annual results while ensuring long-term viability and success. Therefore, the mix of incentives is

44

reviewed and determined regularly by the Compensation Committee based on the short-and long-term objectives of the business. The following table illustrates the elements of pay we currently employ, the manner in which we position these elements relative to the market and the objectives achieved by each element:

For fiscal 2023, using the base salaries, the annual incentive targets at the end of the year and the September 2023 PSUs, the vast majority of executive compensation was variable (88.7% for our CEO as

45

illustrated below and an average of 79.2% for our other three NEOs that were employed throughout the entire fiscal year). For more information, please see “—2023 Executive Compensation Program in Detail.”

Executive Compensation Decision-Making Process

The Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee oversees the executive compensation program for our NEOs. The committee is composed solely of independent members of the Board. The Committee works closely with its independent compensation consultant and management to examine the effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program throughout the year. Details of the Compensation Committee’s authority and responsibilities are specified in its charter, which may be accessed on the investor relations section of our corporate website at https://ir.alignmenthealth.com/. The committee makes all final compensation decisions and equity award recommendations regarding our NEOs.

The Role of Management

Members of our management team attend regular meetings where executive compensation, corporate and individual performance, and competitive compensation levels and practices are discussed and evaluated; however, they are not present in the board room for, nor do they participate in, discussions about their own pay. Only the Compensation Committee members are allowed to vote on decisions regarding NEO compensation. The CEO reviews his recommendations pertaining to other executives pay with the Committee providing transparency and oversight. Decisions on non-executive officer pay are made by the CEO in collaboration with the executive officers who manage such employees. The CEO does not participate in the deliberations of the Compensation Committee regarding his own compensation. The Compensation Committee makes all final determinations regarding CEO compensation.

The Role of the Independent Consultant

The Compensation Committee engages an independent compensation consultant to provide expertise on competitive pay practices, program design, and an objective assessment of any inherent risks of any programs. Pursuant to authority granted to it under its charter, the Compensation Committee has hired Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”) as its independent consultant. Pearl Meyer reports directly to the Compensation Committee and does not provide any additional services to management. The Compensation Committee has conducted an independence assessment of Pearl Meyer in accordance with Nasdaq rules.

The Role of Peer Group Companies

The Compensation Committee strives to set a competitive level of total compensation for each NEO as compared with executive officers in similar positions at peer companies. For purposes of setting 2023 compensation levels, in conjunction with the recommendation of Pearl Meyer, the Compensation

46

Committee considered publicly available data for a group of peer companies (the “2023 Compensation Peer Group”) listed below, along with industry specific survey data, where appropriate. Selection criteria for determining/reviewing the 2023 Compensation Peer Group, used to establish the competitive market for the NEOs, generally include companies within the “Health Care Services” and “Health Care Technologies” industry groups and last twelve-month revenues ranging from approximately 1/5 times to 3 times Alignment Healthcare’s revenues (i.e., ~$282 million -$3.2billion) as of June 1, 2023.

Given the significant growth of the Company over the course of the year and consolidation in the healthcare space, the peer group was revisited in mid-2023 to better fit the current size and operating complexities of the Company for purposes of setting pay levels for 2024. Selection criteria used to establish the competitive market for the NEOs generally included companies within the “Health Care Services,” Life and Health Insurance,” “Health Care Facilities,” “Health Care Equipment,” and “Health Care Technologies” industry groups, with last twelve-month revenues ranging from approximately one-fifth to three times that of Alignment Healthcare’s revenues (i.e., ~$653 million - $4,482 million) as of June 1, 2023.

It is important to note that this market data is not the sole determinant in setting pay levels for the NEOs. Actual pay levels can be above or below the targeted levels depending on factors such as experience, individual or company performance, tenure, employee potential, unique skills, criticality of the position to the Company and other factors. In general, the Compensation Committee desires to balance general internal and external equity and reserves the right to use discretion to deviate when necessary to recruit employees and/or retain the right talent.

2023 Executive Compensation Program in Detail

Base Salary

Base salary represents annual fixed compensation and is a standard element of compensation necessary to attract and retain executive leadership talent. In making base salary decisions, the Compensation Committee considers the CEO’s recommendations, as well as each NEO’s position and level of responsibility within the Company. The Committee considers factors such as competitive market data as well as individual performance, experience, tenure, internal equity and employee potential. For 2023, the Compensation Committee approved base salary increases for Messrs. Kao and Freeman, in order to align their compensation with the market for similar roles and responsibilities. Annual base salary rates for 2023 were as follows:

47

Annual Incentives

The 2023 Annual Incentive Plan provided our NEOs the opportunity to earn a performance-based annual cash bonus. Actual payouts depend on the achievement of pre-determined, strategic and/or financial corporate performance objectives (which represent 100% of the award for the CEO and 75% of the award for the other NEOs), as well as individual performance (which represent 25% of the award for the NEOs other than the CEO). Based on results, payouts can range from 0% to 200% of target award amounts. In addition, a modifier (-25% to +50%) is applied to the total bonus payout based on the Company’s CMS Star Ratings (see further description below). The modifier ensures there is a direct connection and significant focus on quality and the experience our members are receiving. Target annual bonus opportunities are expressed as a percentage of base salary and were established based on the NEO’s level of responsibility and their ability to impact overall results. The Committee also considers market data in setting target award amounts.

Payouts under the 2023 Annual Incentive Plan occur as follows: (i) 75% of each NEO’s total annual incentive payout based on corporate and individual performance was paid in March 2024; and (ii) the remaining 25% of each NEO’s total annual incentive payout is held back and is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to achievement of CMS Star Ratings-related performance measures. See “—2023 Annual Incentive Plan Payouts —Adjustment for CMS Star Ratings” below.

Target bonus opportunities for 2023 for each of the NEOs are summarized in the table below:

2023 Corporate Performance Metrics, Weightings and Results

In 2023, we used health plan membership, adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA as the corporate performance metrics in the Annual Incentive Plan. We chose these metrics for the following reasons in the Annual Incentive Plan:

48

The table below sets forth the relative weighting of the metrics selected for our 2023 Annual Incentive Plan, the results achieved for each metric, as determined by the Compensation Committee, and the resulting aggregate percentage achieved with respect to our corporate objectives:

2023 Annual Incentive Plan Payouts

Based on the above performance results, the funding of the Annual Incentive Plan was set at 134.4% of each NEO’s applicable target based on the achievement of corporate objectives and subsequently adjusted based on each NEO’s individual performance (excluding the CEO whose bonus entirely based on achievement of corporate objectives). Target bonus opportunities for the 2023 year and payout amounts reflect the weighted average of the target bonus opportunity percentages applicable to each NEO for each applicable period throughout the year. The table below sets forth the actual awards earned by the NEOs in 2023 (and paid in 2024):

49

Adjustment for CMS Star Ratings. As described above, 25% of each NEOs total 2023 Annual Incentive Plan payout based on corporate and individual performance will not be paid until the fourth quarter of 2024. The amount of the holdback that is paid to each NEO is subject to an adjustment based on the CMS Star Rating achieved by the Company’s Medicare Advantage plans. Each rated health plan has an “Overall” quality rating of 1 to 5 stars (5 is highest), which accounts for member experience, medical care, and health plan administration.

A plan’s overall rating is based on three general categories:

o  Their health care and doctors

o  Ease of getting appointments and services

o  Providing regular screenings, vaccines, and other basic health services

o  Monitoring some conditions

o  Customer service

o  Access to needed information

o  Network providers ordering appropriate tests and treatment

All health plan ratings are calculated the same way, using the same information sources.

50

When the prior fiscal year’s results are available in the fourth quarter of 2024, the NEO’s final payouts will be adjusted as follows:

In addition to the annual incentive payouts indicated above and as a result of the significant overperformance on the Health Plan Membership metric (actual result of 155,500 members vs. maximum goal of 140,790 members), the Compensation Committee determined that an additional discretionary bonus to executives (other than the CEO) was warranted. Discretionary bonus amounts are as follows and are further explained in the Summary Compensation Table.

As indicated by the percentages of target above, total bonus payout for 2023 performance did not exceed the plan cap of 200% of target for any individual.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

The Company’s long-term equity incentive program is designed to provide a portion of our executives’ compensation opportunity in equity-based instruments. We believe that long-term equity compensation is key to assuring our executives’ interests are aligned with those of our stockholders.

2023 Equity Awards

In September 2023, the Compensation Committee and Board approved the award of the September 2023 PSUs to the NEOs under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). In determining the nature and amount of long-term equity grants during 2023, the Compensation Committee considered our team’s continued strong performance amidst the challenging macroeconomic environment since our IPO in 2021 and its direct impact on our industry. In light of the diminution of the intended target value of the equity awards granted at our IPO in 2021 and in 2022, and the Company’s retention objectives given competition for talent in the health care space, together with the preference of our stockholders to see a stronger focus on performance-based equity compensation, the Compensation Committee approved long-term incentive grants for 2023 using 100% PSUs.

With respect to the September 2023 PSUs, the NEOs are eligible to vest in a number of PSUs ranging from 0% to 150% of the target number of PSUs granted, based on the aggregate achievement by the Company of certain performance metrics during the performance period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (the “Measurement Period”), with threshold, target and maximum goals for each performance metric set by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee chose to measure performance for this grant using a one-year performance period, although the Compensation Committee intends to adopt PSUs contingent upon longer performance measurement cycles as the Company’s long-term incentive strategy evolves with respect to future grants. To the extent earned, shares will vest fifty

51

percent (50%) upon certification of results by the Committee (expected on or about February 28, 2025) and fifty percent (50%) on December 31, 2025, subject to the applicable grantee’s continued employment on such date.

The table below shows the target long-term incentive awards granted for fiscal year 2023 for each of the NEOs:

The achievement of PSUs relative to the approved target awards is based on the following performance metrics and relative weighting:

Following the completion of the Measurement Period, the Compensation Committee will certify the Company’s achievement of each of the performance metrics, as a percentage of the target established for each metric (the date of such certification, the “Certification Date”). If any financial metric is attained at a level above the threshold goal but below the target goal, or above the target goal but below the maximum goal, percentage achievement for such metric will be determined on a straight-line basis between the applicable goals. The Committee will then determine, based on the relative weighting of the performance metrics and the percentage achievement of each metric, the aggregated percentage achievement of the performance metrics. The number of PSUs that each NEO earns is determined by multiplying his or her target award by the aggregated percentage achievement of the performance metrics. Fifty percent (50%) of such total number of earned PSUs will become fully vested on or about March 1, 2025, subject to each NEO’s continued service to the Company through such date, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of such earned PSUs will become vested as of December 31, 2025, subject to each NEO’s continued service to

52

the Company through such date. Any PSUs that do not become earned and vested on such dates will be cancelled and forfeited for no consideration.

Other Compensation Matters

Alignment Healthcare, Inc. Clawback Policy

In October 2023, the Board of Directors adopted the Alignment Healthcare, Inc. Clawback Policy, which is designed to comply with Section 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and the applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Clawback Policy requires the Company to recoup any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by certain executives, including each NEO, in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws. The Clawback Policy generally applies to all incentive-based compensation received by a covered executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare a restatement after the policy’s effective date. The Clawback Policy is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

Employment Agreements

The terms of the employment agreements applicable to each NEO are described under “Executive and Director Compensation—Employment Agreements” below. In addition to the terms described therein, the employment agreements provide for certain severance payments and benefits following a termination of employment under certain circumstances. For details on the severance payment and benefits under each NEO’s respective employment agreement and the 2021 Plan, see “Executive and Director Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Retirement Benefits

We maintain a tax-qualified retirement plan that provides all regular employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-efficient basis. Under our 401(k) plan, participants may elect to defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax or after-tax basis and have it contributed to the plan subject to applicable annual limits under the Code. The Company makes a matching contribution on 100% of employee deferrals up to 4% of the eligible employee’s compensation eligible for deferral. Contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to the participants’ directions. Employee elective deferrals and matching contributions are 100% vested at all times. As a U.S. tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan and employer matching contributions are deductible by us when made. We do not maintain any defined benefit pension plans or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

Executive Benefits and Perquisites

The Company’s executive officers, including the NEOs, are eligible to participate in the benefit plans that are available to substantially all of the Company’s employees, including our 401(k) plan described above, medical, dental and life insurance plans and long-term disability plans. None of the NEOs participate in a defined benefit pension plan.

We provide limited perquisites to our NEOs, including an internet stipend and reimbursement of business expenses.

Impact of Tax and Accounting

We regularly consider the various tax and accounting implications of our compensation plans. When determining the amount of long-term incentives and equity grants to executives and employees, the compensation costs associated with the grants are reviewed, as required by FASB ASC Topic 718.

53

While considering tax deductibility as only one of several considerations in determining compensation, the Committee believes that the tax deduction limitation should not compromise its ability to structure compensation programs that provide benefits to the Company that outweigh the potential benefit of a tax deduction and, therefore, may approve compensation that is not deductible for tax purposes.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” contained in this proxy statement with management. Based on its review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference into the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

This report shall not be deemed soliciting material or to be filed with the SEC, or incorporated by reference in any document so filed, whether made before or after the date hereof, except to the extent we specifically request that it be treated as soliciting material or it is specifically incorporated by reference therein.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal Year 2023

The following table presents the plan-based awards granted to the Named Executive Officers in 2023.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table

Employment Agreements

Prior to our IPO, we were party to employment agreements with Mr. Kao, Mr. Freeman and Ms. Maroney, which provided for an initial base salary of $350,000, $250,000 and $300,000, respectively

57

(which was later increased for each NEO). In addition, each employment agreement provided for an annual cash incentive bonus with an initial target and maximum bonus opportunity equal to 25% and 50% of base salary for Mr. Kao, Mr. Freeman and Ms. Maroney (which was also later increased for each NEO). Ms. Maroney’s employment agreement also initially provided for a commission payment program, which did not apply in 2021 or thereafter.

In connection with our IPO, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Mr. Kao, Mr. Freeman and Ms. Maroney, effective as of March 26, 2021, each of which superseded their prior employment agreements. In addition, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Kardes effective as of April 11, 2021; and we entered in to an employment agreement with Dr. Kim, effective as of September 25, 2023. The foregoing employment agreements are referred to herein as the “NEO Employment Agreements.” Each NEO Employment Agreement provides for an initial term of one year, which automatically renews for additional one-year periods until either the Company or the Named Executive Officer provides written notice within 90 days in advance of the next scheduled renewal date of an intent not to renew. The NEO Employment Agreements provided for an initial base salary as follows: $675,000 for Mr. Kao; $450,000 for Mr. Freeman; $550,000 for Ms. Maroney; $350,000 for Mr. Kardes; and $560,000 for Dr. Kim. In addition, each employment agreement provided for an annual cash incentive bonus with an initial target and maximum bonus opportunity equal to 100% and 200% of base salary for Mr. Kao; 50% and 100% of base salary for Mr. Freeman; 85% and 170% of base salary for Ms. Maroney; 25% and 50% of base salary for Mr. Kardes; and 85% and 170% of base salary for Dr. Kim. With the exception of Dr. Kim, each NEO has received increased to his or her base salary and target and maximum bonus opportunity percentages.

Target bonus opportunities and payouts for each of the fiscal years shown in the tables above reflect the weighted average of the target bonus opportunity percentages for each applicable period throughout the fiscal year. In general, annual cash incentive bonuses are determined based on the achievement of performance goals established by the Board (or the Compensation Committee) within the first 90 days of the calendar year following the applicable performance year (or, with respect to the first calendar year of employment, within the first 30 days of the commencement of employment), and may be based on quantitative performance objectives for the Company or one or more of its affiliates, subsidiaries, business units or divisions, and/or individual quantitative or qualitative performance objectives or any combination of the foregoing. Base salaries and annual cash incentive bonus opportunities are reviewed by the Board at least annually and may be increased (but not decreased). For additional information on the 2023 Annual Incentive Plan, see “Compensation Discussion & Analysis—2023 Executive Compensation Program in Detail—Annual Incentives” above.

Each of our Named Executive Officers are entitled to severance payments and benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment as described below in “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
