On November 7, 2024, Enhabit, Inc. (the “Company” or “Enhabit”) announced the appointment of Ryan Solomon to serve as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), effective December 9, 2024. Mr. Solomon, age 45, brings over 20 years of corporate strategy and finance experience, including eight years as CFO in the home health and hospice space and other industries. Mr. Solomon previously served as CFO of AccentCare, a national leader in home health services, personal care services and hospice care, from February 2020 to October 2023. At AccentCare, Mr. Solomon was responsible for financial planning, accounting, tax, treasury, revenue cycle, corporate development, and internal audit—functions he will also oversee at Enhabit. Mr. Solomon will also leverage his experience in building successful finance teams, systems integration, mergers and acquisitions, and operational business planning. Mr. Solomon joins Enhabit after serving most recently as CFO of Aspirion, a leading technology-enabled healthcare revenue cycle management provider for revenue integrity and complex claims, since October 2023. Prior to his roles at AccentCare and Aspirion, Mr. Solomon held roles with increasing responsibility in finance and strategic planning at Apple Leisure Group, an international multi-billion-dollar hospitality conglomerate that he ultimately served as CFO from January 2018 to February 2020; Alcon Laboratories and American Airlines.

There are also no family relationships between Mr. Solomon and any director or executive officer of the Company, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction with the Company required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with his employment, Mr. Solomon:

•will participate in the Company’s Senior Management Bonus Plan with a target cash bonus of 70% of annual base salary, prorated in the first year;

•will participate in the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan and receive annual long-term incentive awards with a target annual equity grant of 125% of annual base salary;

•will be awarded restricted stock units (the “RSU Award”) with a value equal to $1,000,000, which will vest 50% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, 25% on the second anniversary of the date of grant, and 25% on the third anniversary of the date of grant;

•will receive a one-time lump sum cash payment upon hire in the amount of $300,000, subject to a two-year clawback for voluntary departure without good reason or termination for cause;

•will participate in the Executive Change in Control Benefits Plan, which describes the duties and obligations of the Company and Mr. Solomon upon a change in control event;

•will participate in the Executive Severance Plan, which describes the duties and obligations of the Company and Mr. Solomon if employment is terminated by Mr. Solomon for Good Reason or by the Company other than for Cause (each as defined in the Executive Severance Plan); and

•will enter into a Restrictive Covenants Agreement, which describes the confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation obligations of Mr. Solomon during his employment with the Company and for 12 months following termination, whether voluntary or involuntary.

With respect to the Executive Change in Control Benefits Plan and Executive Severance Plan, in the event of Mr. Solomon’s termination without Cause, or his resignation for Good Reason (each as defined in the respective plans), Mr. Solomon is entitled to receive a cash severance payment in the amount of 1.75 times his annual base salary, benefit plan continuation for 12 months, and vesting of a prorated portion of any then-unvested equity awards, subject to Mr. Solomon’s execution of a restrictive covenant and release agreement.
