Loan and Security Agreement

On June 21, 2024, NeueHealth, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan and Security Agreement”), among the Loan Parties, Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), certain affiliates of Hercules and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (together with Hercules and each of their respective successors and assigns, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Lenders have agreed to provide, upon satisfaction or waiver by the Lenders of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, up to four tranches of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million. The initial tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million will be available substantially concurrently with the initial closing date of the facility (the “Closing Date”) upon satisfaction or waiver by the Lenders of the conditions precedent applicable thereto. The second tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million will be available from November 10, 2024 through December 31, 2024, subject to the Company satisfying the “Consolidation Condition” or the “2025 Stars Condition” under and as defined in the Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated December 13, 2023 (the “Amended Stock Purchase Agreement”), between, among others, the Company and Molina Healthcare, Inc., and the absence of any material adjustments to the expected payment amount of “Consolidation and Adjustment Escrow Amount” after giving effect to the “CHP Enrollee Adjustment”, if any, in each case, under and as defined in the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement. The third tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $45.0 million will be available from February 5, 2025 through September 15, 2025, subject to the Company and its applicable subsidiaries satisfying amounts owed by the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the ACO REACH Model for performance years 2023 and earlier, payment in full of the CMS Settlement (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) and after giving effect to such payments and the funding of such third tranche of loans, the Company having at least $22.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. The fourth tranche of term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $50.0 million will be available until June 21, 2027 upon further approval by the investment committees of the Lenders at the applicable time of such funding. Borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement accrue interest at a rate per annum of (a) the greater of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1.15% and (ii) 9.65%, payable in cash, plus (b) 2.50%, payable “in kind” by adding the amount of such accrued interest to the principal amount of the outstanding loans under the Loan and Security Agreement; provided that during the first year after the Closing Date the Company may elect to re-allocate 1.90% of interest that is payable in cash to 2.05% of interest that is payable “in kind” and thereafter the Company may elect to re-allocate up 2.50% of interest that is payable “in kind” to an equal amount of interest that is payable in cash.

The loans mature on June 1, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”). No amortization is payable until June 1, 2027, after which date amortization will be payable in equal monthly installments.

The Company may prepay the loans at any time, subject to a fee equal to the sum of (a) 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans so prepaid plus (b) (i) if such prepayment occurs during the first year following the Closing Date, 3.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans so prepaid, (ii) if such prepayment occurs during the second year following the Closing Date, 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans so prepaid, or (iii) if such prepayment occurs thereafter but prior to the Maturity Date, 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans so prepaid.

The Loan and Security Agreement includes covenants that require (a) the Loan Parties to maintain at all times Qualified Cash (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) of at least $15.0 million and (b) beginning on September 30, 2024 and as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) not to be less than the amounts set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. The Loan and Security Agreement contains additional covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to make certain cash dividends, incur additional debt, engage in certain asset sales, mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions, create liens on assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, change its business or make investments. In addition, the Loan and Security Agreement contains other covenants, representations and events of default.

The foregoing description of the Loan and Security Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan and Security Agreement. The Company expects to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a copy of the Loan and Security Agreement as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2024.

Warrant Agreements

On June 21, 2024, the Company and each of the Lenders entered into a warrant agreement (collectively, the “Warrant Agreements”) setting forth the rights and obligations of the Company and the Lenders as holders (in such capacity, the

“Holders”) in connection with such Holders right to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, at the times and in the circumstances described below.

Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the Purchase Price (as defined in the applicable Warrant Agreement), and in no event later than three (3) business days thereafter, the Company or its transfer agent shall either (a) issue to such Holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased or (b) credit the same via book entry to such Holder, and the Company shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached as an exhibit to such Warrant Agreement indicating the number of shares of Common Stock which remain subject to future purchases under such Warrant Agreement, if any.

Terms of the Warrant Agreements

The Warrant Agreements will be exercisable from time to time until or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the seventh (7th) anniversary of June 21, 2024.

Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, each Warrant Agreement and all rights thereunder are transferable by the Holder thereof upon receipt of the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that the transfer of Warrant Agreement and all rights thereunder to a Hercules Affiliate (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) shall not require the prior written consent of the Company.

The Warrant Agreements include a customary net exercise provision and customary anti-dilution adjustments, among other customary provisions for instruments of this type.

Additional Matters

The foregoing descriptions have been included to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transactions described above, and are not intended to provide any factual information about the parties or the Company’s business. The Loan and Security Agreement and the Warrant Agreements each contain representations and warranties that the parties made solely for the benefit of each other.

Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Loan and Security Agreement and/or the Warrant Agreements, which information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. Investors and shareholders are urged not to rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances regarding the Company at this time or any other time.

The Company expects to file the form of Warrant Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2024.
