Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On July 27, 2023, Amy Errett informed the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Hippo Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) of her resignation as a member of the Board, and all of the committees of the Board on which she serves, in each case, effective August 3, 2023. Ms. Errett’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company or any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.

To fill the vacancy created by Ms. Errett’s resignation, on July 27, 2023, the Board appointed Mark Schaaf as a Class III director, effective August 3, 2023, for an initial term expiring at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor has been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal. The Board also appointed Mr. Schaaf to the Audit, Risk, and Compliance Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), effective November 1, 2023. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Schaaf and any other persons pursuant to which he was elected as a director of the Company, there are no family relationships between Mr. Schaaf and any other director or executive officer of the Company, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Pursuant to the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Program, Mr. Schaaf will receive annual cash compensation of $60,000 for his service as a member of the Board and annual cash compensation of $10,000 for his service as a member of the Audit Committee (each prorated based on the percentage of days in any quarter during which he does not serve in the applicable position). Additionally, Mr. Schaaf will receive an initial award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) covering a number of shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $110,000 based on the 30-day closing trading average of a share of the Company’s common stock prior to the date of grant (and prorated for the period from August 3, 2023 until June 7, 2024), which will vest in full on June 7, 2024, subject to his continued service on the Board through the vesting date. Pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program, Mr. Schaaf will also be eligible to receive an annual award of RSUs granted after the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders valued at $110,000 based on the 30-day closing trading average of a share of the Company’s common stock prior to the date of grant, which will vest in full upon the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date of grant and (ii) immediately prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders that occurs following the date of grant, subject to his continued service on the Board through the vesting date. In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan), all equity awards held by Mr. Schaaf will accelerate in full.

Mr. Schaaf will enter into the Company’s standard form indemnification agreement in the form filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2021.
