PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY

Background

Opendoor Labs Inc., the predecessor to Opendoor Technologies Inc., entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. II (“SCH”) on September 15, 2020. SCH was initially formed on October 18, 2019 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Under the Merger Agreement, Hestia Merger Sub Inc., a newly formed subsidiary of SCH (“Merger Sub”), merged with Opendoor Labs Inc. On December 18, 2020, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased. Opendoor Labs Inc. survived the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SCH. On December 18, 2020, SCH deregistered as a Cayman Islands exempted company and domesticated as a Delaware corporation, changing its name from “Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. II” to “Opendoor Technologies Inc.” We refer to these transactions collectively as the “Business Combination.”

In this proxy statement, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Opendoor,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” and similar references refer to Opendoor Technologies Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries following the Business Combination and to Opendoor Labs Inc. prior to the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Executive Compensation Highlights

We maintain a market-competitive compensation program which enables us to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified executives who can achieve our business objectives. In addition, our program is heavily weighted towards equity compensation, thereby enabling us to closely align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders.

To ensure that we are able to achieve these objectives, we adhere to the following best practices:

		Compensation Committee				• Consists solely of independent directors • Retains own independent compensation consultant that performs no other consulting or other services for Opendoor • Conducts annual review of compensation strategy and program, including review and determination of compensation peer group used for comparative purposes
		Chief Executive Officer Compensation “at risk”				• Nearly all Chief Executive Officer 2020 target total direct compensation (99%) is “at risk” • Approximately 87% of RSUs granted to Chief Executive Officer in 2020 are subject to performance-based vesting conditions earned only on achievement of pre-established performance goals (stock price hurdles)
		Other Elements of Compensation Program Design				• Change-in-control payments and benefits for executive officers overwhelmingly based on a “double-trigger” arrangement • Annual stockholder advisory vote on named executive officer compensation • No re-pricing of stock options without stockholder approval under 2020 Plan • No tax reimbursement payments (including “gross ups”) on severance or change in control payments or benefits • No pension arrangements or retirement plans or arrangements offered to executive officers different from or in addition to those offered to other employees • Executive officers participate in broad-based company-sponsored health and welfare benefit programs on same basis as other full-time, salaried employees • Executive officers and other employees prohibited from hedging their interests in Opendoor equity securities

Investor Engagement

Opendoor engages with investors and analysts through conference calls, industry conferences, one-on-one meetings, and teleconferences. We typically discuss our financial position, strategic priorities, business outlook, and other topics of prime importance to investors. As we grow as a public company, we will engage with our shareholders regarding our corporate governance practices. We are committed to maintaining an active dialogue with investors to better understand their perspectives and consider their ideas as we continue to evolve our corporate governance and business practices, and public disclosures.

Questions and Answers during the Annual Meeting

As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer questions submitted online during or prior to the meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, as time permits. Only stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder by following the procedures outlined above will be permitted to submit questions during the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are, among other things:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Annual Meeting;

•

related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since our last Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q;

•

related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation;

•

related to personal grievances;

•

derogatory references to individuals;

•

substantially repetitious of questions already made by another stockholder;

•

in excess of the two-question limit;

•

in furtherance of the stockholder’s personal or business interests; or

•

out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting as determined by the Chair or Secretary in their reasonable judgment.

Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the “Rules of Conduct” available on the Annual Meeting webpage for stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above.

Recommendations of the Board

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to vote on the proposals set forth below. The Board recommends that you vote your shares as indicated below. If you return a properly completed proxy card, or vote your shares by telephone or over the Internet, your shares of common stock will be voted on your behalf as you direct. If not otherwise specified, the shares of common stock represented by the proxies will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as follows:

				“FOR” the election of Cipora Herman, Jonathan Jaffe and Glenn Solomon as Class I directors;
				“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm;
				“FOR” the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers;
				“ONE YEAR” for the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers; and
				In the discretion of the persons appointed as proxies on any other items that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Broker Non-Votes

If the shares you own are held in street name through a bank or brokerage firm, the bank or brokerage firm is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. You should direct your broker how to vote the shares held in your account. Under applicable stock exchange rules, if you do not instruct your broker on how to vote your shares, your broker will be able to vote your shares with respect to certain “routine” matters, but will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain “non-routine” matters. The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is a routine matter. Each other proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting is a non-routine matter. Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares.

Revoking Your Proxy or Changing Your Vote

Voting over the Internet or by telephone or execution of a proxy will not in any way affect a stockholder’s right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote electronically. A proxy may be revoked before it is used to cast a vote at the Annual Meeting. If the shares you own are held in your name, you can revoke a proxy by doing one of the following:

•

filing with our Secretary, at or before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy;

•

duly executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to our Secretary before the taking of the vote; or

•

attending the Annual Meeting and voting electronically. However, your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy should be sent to us at the following address: Opendoor Technologies Inc., 410 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 1600, Tempe, Arizona 85281, Attention: Elizabeth Stevens, Secretary.

If the shares you own are held in street name, you will need to follow the directions provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm to change your vote.

Quorum and Votes Required

The presence electronically or representation by proxy of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are included in the shares present or represented at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. If a quorum is not present, the chair of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting until a quorum is obtained.

The table below sets forth the vote required for the approval of each proposal before the Annual Meeting, and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes.

Proposal	Votes Required	Effect of Votes Withheld/ Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
Proposal 1: Election of Directors	The plurality of the votes cast. This means that the three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I Directors.	Votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect.
Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast.	Abstentions will have no effect. We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.
Proposal 3: Approval, on an Advisory (Non-Binding) Basis, of the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers (“Say-on-Pay Vote”)	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast.	Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect.
Proposal 4: Approval, on an Advisory (Non-Binding) Basis, of the Frequency of Future Say-on-Pay Votes	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. If no frequency receives the foregoing vote, we will consider the frequency (ONE YEAR, TWO YEARS or THREE YEARS) that receives the highest number of votes cast to be the frequency recommended by shareholders.	Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect.

The votes will be counted, tabulated and certified by a representative of Alliance Advisors, the Company’s inspector of election for the Annual Meeting. We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we intend to file with the SEC shortly after the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL ONE — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board has nominated Cipora Herman, Jonathan Jaffe and Glenn Solomon as Class I director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting.

Board Recommendation

Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each of Cipora Herman, Jonathan Jaffe and Glenn Solomon as Class I directors.

Our Board is currently comprised of eight directors. As described in our Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) our Board is currently divided into three classes. The term of our Class I directors expires at this Annual Meeting, the term of our Class II directors expires at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2022 and the term of our Class III directors expires at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2023. The following table describes the schedule for the election of our directors over the next three annual meetings and the terms our directors will serve if elected.

Meeting	Class of Directors Standing for Election	Term
2021 Annual Meeting	Class I	Three-year term expiring at 2024 Annual Meeting
2022 Annual Meeting	Class II	Three-year term expiring at 2025 Annual Meeting
2023 Annual Meeting	Class III	Three-year term expiring at 2026 Annual Meeting

If you return a duly executed proxy card without specifying how your shares are to be voted, the persons named in the proxy card will vote to elect Cipora Herman, Jonathan Jaffe and Glenn Solomon as Class I directors. Cipora Herman, Jonathan Jaffe and Glenn Solomon currently serve on our Board and have indicated their willingness to continue to serve if elected. However, if any director nominee should be unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, the shares of common stock represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by our Board, or our Board may reduce its size. Our Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve if elected.

Our Board of Directors

The biographies of each of our current directors, including our Class I director nominees, are included below. Each of the biographies highlights specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led us to conclude that such person should serve as a director. We believe that, as a whole, our Board exemplifies the highest standards of personal and professional integrity and the requisite skills and characteristics, leadership traits, work ethic and independence to provide effective oversight. No director or executive officer is related by blood, marriage or adoption to any other director or executive officer. No arrangements or understandings exist between any director and any other person pursuant to which such person was selected as a director or nominee.

Director Independence

Our Board has determined that all of our non-employee directors, who are listed below, meet the applicable criteria for independence established by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Eric Wu does not qualify as independent under the Nasdaq Rules due to his employment as our Chief Executive Officer.

	Independent Directors
	• Adam Bain • Cipora Herman			• Jonathan Jaffe • Pueo Keffer • Jason Kilar			• John Rice • Glenn Solomon

In arriving at the foregoing independence determinations, the Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and any relationships they have with us and our management.

Board Leadership Structure

We do not have any fixed rule as to whether our Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate, or whether our Chairperson should be an employee or elected from among non-employee directors. We believe that it is in the best interests of the Company to have the flexibility to evaluate our leadership structure over time as part of Opendoor’s ongoing succession planning process. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that an independent “Lead Director” may be elected from among the independent directors when the Chairperson of the Board is not an independent director. We do not have a Lead Director at this time.

The Board has determined that the best leadership structure for Opendoor at this time is to combine the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer positions, with Mr. Wu serving as Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer. Our Board has determined that combining the roles of Chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is best for our Company and its stockholders at this time because it provides unified leadership by Mr. Wu and allows for a single, clear focus for management to execute the Company’s

TABLE OF CONTENTS

strategy and business plans. Our Board is composed of individuals with extensive experience in the technology industry and public company management. In addition, each of our standing Board committees is composed of, and chaired by, independent directors. For these reasons and because of the strong leadership of Mr. Wu, our Board has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time.

Board Meetings and Attendance

Board members are expected to prepare for, attend and participate in all meetings of the Board and committees on which they serve. Given the timing of the closing of our Business Combination on December 18, 2020, our Board held one meeting in 2020. During 2020, each director attended 100% of the aggregate of the total number of Board meetings and committee meetings on which they then served, other than Jason Kilar who was unable to attend the one Board meeting held in 2020. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the annual meeting; however, it is expected that directors will attend.

Executive Sessions of Independent Directors

The Board holds executive sessions of its independent directors no less than two times per year.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board views orientation and continuing education as vital tools for building an effective Board. We provide all new directors with orientation sessions regarding the Board and the Company’s operations. The orientation consists of presentations by members of senior management on the Company’s strategic plans, financial statements and key issues, policies and practices. We also periodically provide materials, updates and presentations, including in regular Board and committee meetings, to all directors on issues and subjects that assist them in fulfilling their responsibilities, such as key industry developments and the competitive landscape. In addition, the Company intends to pay for certain expenses for any director who wishes to attend seminars, conferences and other continuing education programs designed for directors of public companies.

Comprehensive, Ongoing Process for Board Succession Planning and Selection and Nomination of Directors

As provided in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board, together with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, is responsible for determining the appropriate characteristics, skills, and experience for the Board as a whole and for its individual members. The Board believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including the highest personal integrity and ethics and the ability to read and understand basic financial statements. In considering candidates for Board membership, the Board considers additional criteria including relevant expertise, sufficient time to devote to our affairs; excellence in their field, the ability to exercise sound judgment; a commitment to represent the long-term interests of our stockholders; diversity (including diversity of gender, ethnic background and country of origin), age, skills, and other factors that it deems appropriate to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience, and capability on the Board in the context of the needs of the Board and the Company.

Each year, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses the directors to be nominated for election by stockholders at the annual meeting. To ensure that the Board evolves in a manner that serves the business and strategic needs of the Company, before recommending for re-nomination a slate of incumbent directors for an additional term, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate whether incumbent directors possess the requisite skills and perspective, both individually and collectively. In addition, the Board will review those directors’ overall service to Opendoor during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relationships and transactions that might impair the directors’ independence.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is primarily responsible for searching for qualified director candidates for election to the Board and filling vacancies on the Board. To facilitate the search process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit current directors and executives of the Company for the names of potentially qualified candidates or ask directors and executives to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates, or consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence from the Company and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for candidates for election as a director.

Cipora Herman, a Class I director nominee, was initially recommended to serve on our Board by SCH and was selected by our Chief Executive Officer. Jonathan Jaffe and Glenn Solomon, both Class I director nominees, were initially recommended to serve on our Board by our Chief Executive Officer.

Consideration of Board Diversity

The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are committed to ensuring the Board functions effectively and with appropriate diversity and expertise. 38% of our directors self-identify as having diverse characteristics.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company believes that a Board made up of highly qualified individuals from diverse backgrounds promotes better corporate governance and performance and effective decision-making and thus has included diversity as a factor that will be taken into consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board when identifying director candidates and recommending or selecting nominees for election by stockholders. The Board intends to assess the effectiveness of its policy on diversity through an annual Board and committee evaluation process.

Stockholder Recommendations of Director Candidates

Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Opendoor Technologies Inc., 410 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 1600, Tempe, Arizona 85281, Attention: Elizabeth Stevens, Secretary. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

Corporate Governance Documents

We believe that good corporate governance is important to ensure that Opendoor is managed for the long-term benefit of our stockholders. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will periodically review and reassess our Corporate Governance Guidelines, other governance documents and overall governance structure. Complete copies of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and committee charters are available on the “Corporate Governance” section of our website at investor.opendoor.com.

Code of Conduct

The Board has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code of Conduct”), which applies to all of our employees, officers and directors. Our Code of Conduct is available in the “Corporate Governance” section of our website at investor.opendoor.com. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or the Nasdaq listing rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of our Code of Conduct.

Board Committees

Our Board has established three standing committees — the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee — each of which operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board. Current copies of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charters are posted on the “Corporate Governance” section of our website located at investor.opendoor.com. Due to the timing of the closing of the Business Combination on December 18, 2020, the Audit Committee held one meeting during 2020 and the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not meet in 2020.

Our Board has determined that all of the members of each of its committees are independent as defined under applicable Nasdaq rules. In addition, all members of the Audit Committee meet the heightened independence requirements contemplated by Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and all members of the Compensation Committee satisfy the heightened independence requirements of the Nasdaq rules specific to the independence of compensation committee members.

See page 16 of this Proxy Statement for a discussion of the role of our executive officers and compensation consultant in determining executive compensation.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board recognizes that the achievement of our strategic and commercial objectives involves taking risks and that those risks may evolve over time. The Board has oversight responsibility for Opendoor’s risk management function, which is designed to identify, assess and monitor fundamental financial and business risks across the Company’s operations and consider ways to address and mitigate those risks. Consistent with this approach, one of the Board’s primary responsibilities includes reviewing assessments of, and advising management with respect to, significant risks and issues facing the Company, including risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, the Board has tasked designated committees of the Board to assist with the oversight of certain categories of risk management, and the committees report to the Board regularly on these matters.

•

The Audit Committee reviews and discusses guidelines and policies governing the process by which senior management assesses and manages the Company’s exposure to risk, as well as the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures;

•

The Compensation Committee, in approving and evaluating the Company’s executive compensation plans, policies and programs, takes into account the degree of risk to the Company that such plans, policies and programs may create and reviews and discusses, at least annually, the relationship between risk management policies and practices, corporate strategy and the Company’s compensation arrangements; and

•

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risks associated with Board organization, membership and structure, as well as our overall governance structure.

Our Board does not believe that its role in the oversight of our risks affects the Board’s leadership structure.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Hedging of Company Securities

We believe it is improper and inappropriate for any person associated with Opendoor to engage in short-term or speculative transactions involving the Company’s securities. Directors, officers and employees of the Company are therefore prohibited from engaging in short sales and buying or selling puts, calls, options or other derivative securities of the Company.

Our Insider Trading and Trading Window Policy also prohibits our directors, officers and employees from purchasing any financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) or otherwise engaging in transactions that are designed to or have the effect of hedging or offsetting any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities whether they are granted to such individual by the Company as part of such person’s compensation or otherwise held, directly or indirectly, by such individual.

Communications from Stockholders

The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders, and will respond if and as appropriate. Our Secretary is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and for providing copies or summaries to the directors, as appropriate.

Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Secretary and Chairperson of the Board consider to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications. Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board of Directors, c/o Beth Stevens, Head of Legal and Secretary, Opendoor Technologies Inc., 410 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 1600, Tempe, Arizona 85281.

2020 Compensation

Compensation Philosophy, Objectives and Rewards

The key objectives of our compensation program are (i) to allow us to attract and retain highly qualified executives, and (ii) allow employees the opportunity to be owners in the Company. We believe that our ability to keep our senior executive team engaged and productive is tied to our compensation programs. Additionally, for us to be appropriately positioned to attract new talent, we must be prepared to be, and be perceived as, an employer that offers competitive compensation. Providing employees an opportunity to be owners in our business fosters their active engagement in our success and aligns their interests with those of our stockholders.

To achieve our compensation objectives, we historically have provided executives with a compensation package consisting of the following elements:

	Compensation Element			Compensation Purpose
	Base Salary			Recognize performance of job responsibilities and attract and retain individuals with superior talent.
	Long-Term Equity Compensation			Promote an employee ownership culture and the maximization of stockholder value by aligning the interests of employees and stockholders.

In addition, from time to time, we have provided cash sign-on and retention bonus arrangements as part of an employment offer. The amount of compensation awarded in these circumstances is established based on the executive officer’s role and responsibilities, long-term potential, and our expectations as to the officer’s individual performance or Company performance.

Determination of Compensation

Role of Our Compensation Committee and Executive Officers

With respect to the portion of 2020 that preceded the closing of the Business Combination, our executive compensation program was administered by the board of directors of Opendoor Labs Inc., based on recommendations from Opendoor Labs Inc.’s Compensation Committee, which consisted of Jason Kilar and Glenn Solomon. The compensation of our named executive officers was first reviewed by Opendoor Labs Inc.’s Compensation Committee. Our CEO discussed the compensation and performance of our named executive officers with Opendoor Labs Inc.’s Compensation Committee. Management’s recommendations were based upon a review of the performance of our named executive officers, the Company’s overall performance and the assessment of each officer’s contributions to such performance, internal pay equity considerations and the competitiveness of the market for each officer’s services. Opendoor Labs Inc.’s Compensation Committee then generally evaluated any recommended compensation adjustments or awards to named executive officers and made recommendations to the Opendoor Labs Inc. board of directors, which ultimately determined executive compensation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Since the closing of the Business Combination, our executive compensation program has been administered primarily by our Compensation Committee. The compensation of our named executive officers will be reviewed at least annually by our Compensation Committee and will be informed by the recommendations of our CEO. Our Compensation Committee will then evaluate and determine any recommended compensation adjustments or awards to our named executive officers or make recommendations to the Board for final determination.

Compensation Consultant

To support our Compensation Committee in fulfilling its duties, we have retained a third-party compensation consultant to assist us with the design and evaluation of compensation for our executive officers and directors. Pursuant to its charter, our Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, and replace as needed, compensation consultants to provide independent advice to our Compensation Committee, as well as the sole authority to approve the consultants’ fees and other terms and conditions of retention.

Opendoor Labs Inc. first retained Compensia, Inc. (“Compensia”) in May 2018, although we did not engage Compensia to provide executive and director compensation consulting services and recommendations for compensation on a regular basis until 2019. During 2019, Opendoor Labs Inc.’s Compensation Committee received advice, data and recommendations from Compensia pertaining to the appropriate amount, mix and vesting and other terms for our executive compensation programs. During 2020, Opendoor Labs Inc.’s Compensation Committee received advice, data and recommendations from Compensia pertaining to certain equity grants made to our executive officers. In addition to the work Compensia performed for us in connection with our executive and director compensation practices, Compensia periodically receives requests for information from us or our Compensation Committee pertaining to individual promotions, equity incentive compensation, potential personnel recruitment and other such situations in which market compensation insight may benefit us.

During 2020, Compensia’s fees for services to us unrelated to executive and director compensation did not exceed $120,000.

Competitiveness of Our Executive Compensation Program

For purposes of comparing our executive compensation against the competitive market for the year 2020, the Opendoor Labs Inc. Compensation Committee reviewed the compensation levels and practices of a group of companies that were comparable to Opendoor Labs Inc. in terms of financial characteristics (revenue and market cap/valuation) and industry (to the extent available) and/or reflect talent/labor market peers. Although the analysis of competitive market data provided guiding information and a broad market check, the Opendoor Labs Inc. Compensation Committee did not specifically benchmark compensation for our executive officers in terms of picking a particular percentile relative to other people with similar titles at peer group companies. Instead, the Compensation Committee used its subjective judgment in determining the total compensation for each executive officer and considered the compensation peer group data in conjunction with a number of factors, including an executive officer’s individual skills and expertise, and the scope and criticality of each executive officer’s role. Going forward, Opendoor’s Compensation Committee will review the compensation peer group at least annually and make appropriate adjustments when needed, taking into account changes in our business and that of the companies in the peer group.

Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

For 2020, the primary elements of our named executive officers’ compensation were base salary and long-term equity incentive awards. In addition, certain of our named executive officers also received a sign-on or retention bonus payment in 2020.

Base Salaries

We provide a base salary as a fixed source of compensation for our named executive officers, allowing them a degree of certainty relative to the portion of their variable compensation, which consists of equity awards with values that are generally tied to the price of our common stock and which, prior to the Business Combination, did not provide any opportunity for the officers to achieve liquidity. Our Compensation Committee recognizes the importance of base salaries as an element of compensation that helps to attract and retain highly qualified executive talent. However, our current practice is to not provide our executive officers with annual base salaries exceeding $350,000.

Initial base salaries of our executive officers are established by taking into account their qualifications, experience, comparable market data and prior salary level. Thereafter, Opendoor Labs Inc.’s Compensation Committee generally has reviewed, and adjusted as necessary, base salaries for each of our executive officers, at a minimum annually. In setting base salary levels for 2020, Opendoor Labs Inc.’s Compensation Committee considered a range of factors, including:

•

the individual’s anticipated responsibilities and experience;

•

our Compensation Committee members’ collective experience and knowledge in compensating similarly situated individuals at other companies; and

•

the value of the executive officer’s existing equity awards.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The table below sets forth the annual base salary rates during 2020 for each named executive officer.

Named Executive Officer	2020 Annual Base Salary Rate
Eric Wu		$	325,000(1)
Carrie Wheeler		$	350,000(2)
Gautam Gupta		$	350,000
Julie Todaro		$	350,000

Mr. Wu’s annual base salary rate increased from $275,000 to $325,000, effective January 1, 2020.

Ms. Wheeler commenced her employment with the Company in September 2020.

In January 2020, Mr. Wu, our CEO, entered into a new employment letter agreement, pursuant to which his base salary was increased from $275,000 to $325,000, effective January 1, 2020. The base salary increase was approved by Opendoor Labs Inc.’s board of directors in order to provide Mr. Wu with a more competitive total annual cash compensation package that would align with those provided to similarly situated officers of peer companies. Mr. Wu donated his salary to a relief fund for Company employees affected by staff reductions in force for a portion of 2020. In March 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board increased Ms. Stevens’ annual base salary to $350,000.

Long-Term Equity Compensation

We believe that providing long-term incentives in the form of equity awards encourages our named executive officers to take a long-term outlook and provides them with an incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. By providing opportunities for our employees, including our named executive officers, to benefit from future successes in the Company through the appreciation of the value of their equity awards, our Compensation Committee and Board believe that equity awards align employees’ interests and contributions with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, our Compensation Committee and Board believe that offering meaningful equity ownership in the Company is helpful in retaining our named executive officers and other key employees.

At the time of hire, executive officers have generally been granted stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), or a mix of stock options and RSUs, the size and precise terms of which are determined at the time of hire of the individual executive officer, taking into account the anticipated role, his or her qualifications, experience, comparable market data and prior compensation level.

The table below sets forth the RSUs granted to our named executive officers during 2020. We did not grant any stock options to our named executive officers during 2020. The size of the equity awards granted to our named executive officers in 2020 was determined based on the factors described above. The number of RSUs in the table (and the footnotes and narrative that follow the table) has been adjusted to reflect the impact of the Business Combination.

2,207,236 of Mr. Wu’s RSUs will vest only if both the Service-Based Condition and the Liquidity Event Condition (each as defined below) are satisfied, provided that delivery of the shares may be delayed in accordance with the terms of the Opendoor Labs Inc.’s 2014 Stock Plan (the “2014 Plan”) and Mr. Wu’s RSU grant agreements. The “Service-Based Condition” will be satisfied in 16 successive equal quarterly installments following November 1, 2019. The “Liquidity Event Condition” was satisfied in full upon the first to occur of the following on or before the seventh anniversary of the date of grant: (i) a Change of Control (as defined in 2014 Plan) or (ii) the effective date of a registration statement filed under the Securities Act for the sale of the Company’s common stock. The Liquidity Event Condition was satisfied in February 2021 upon the effective date of the Company’s registration statement filed under the Securities Act for sale of its common stock.

14,885,774 of Mr. Wu’s RSUs will vest upon the satisfaction of performance-based vesting conditions. The performance-based vesting condition will be satisfied, subject to Mr. Wu’s continued employment with us through each applicable vesting date, as to 1/6th of the RSUs upon the achievement of each of six predetermined share price milestones based on the 60-day volume weighted-average closing price of our publicly-traded class of common stock, or if earlier, based on the per share consideration received in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in Mr. Wu’s employment letter agreement). These milestones are $18.11, $23.54, $30.60, $39.78, $51.71 and $67.23.

50,160 of Ms. Wheeler’s RSUs were granted to Ms. Wheeler in February 2020 in her capacity as a member of Opendoor Labs Inc.’s board of directors (the “Wheeler Director RSUs”). The Wheeler Director RSUs vested when the Liquidity Event Condition was satisfied. However, delivery of the shares may be delayed in accordance with the terms of the 2014 Plan and Ms. Wheeler’s RSU grant agreements. The “Liquidity Event Condition” was satisfied if either of the following events occurred on or before the seventh anniversary of the date of grant: (i) a Change of Control (as defined in the 2014 Plan) or (ii) the effective date of a registration

statement filed under the Securities Act, for the sale of the Company’s common stock. The Liquidity Event Condition was satisfied in February 2021 upon the effective date of the Company’s registration statement filed under the Securities Act for sale of its common stock.

4,383,541 of Ms. Wheeler’s RSUs were granted to Ms. Wheeler in her capacity as our CFO (the “Wheeler CFO RSUs”) and will vest only if both (i) a liquidity-based vesting condition and (ii) either (a) a time-based vesting condition, or (b) a performance-based vesting condition are satisfied, in each case, subject to Ms. Wheeler’s continued employment with us through the applicable vesting date. The liquidity-based vesting condition was satisfied upon the closing of the Business Combination. 3,493,892 of the Wheeler CFO RSUs are subject to a time-based vesting condition whereby 25% of such RSUs vest on the first anniversary of Ms. Wheeler’s employment start date with us (the “Wheeler Start Date”) and 75% of such RSUs vest in substantially equal quarterly installments over a three-year period thereafter. 404,385 of the Wheeler CFO RSUs will begin vesting on the third anniversary of the Wheeler Start Date, subject to her continued employment with us on such date, and are subject to a time-based vesting condition whereby such RSUs vest in substantially equal quarterly installments over a two-year period following such anniversary. 485,262 of the Wheeler CFO RSUs are subject to a performance-based vesting condition whereby such RSUs vest upon the date on which the 60-day volume weighted-average closing price of the Company’s publicly-traded class of common stock is at least $16.48 or (ii) Change of Control (as defined in the Ms. Wheeler’s offer letter agreement) occurs in which the per share consideration is at least $16.48.

Prior to any contemplation of the Business Combination, Opendoor Labs Inc.’s board of directors, based on the recommendations of Compensia, determined to grant certain RSUs, described below as Pre-Listing RSUs and Post-Listing RSUs, to Mr. Wu to achieve the following objectives: (i) recognizing the unique market opportunity and extensive time horizon that Opendoor Labs Inc. would need to achieve its ultimate vision, (ii) supporting enduring CEO engagement and commitment, (iii) motivating Mr. Wu to create significant long-term stockholder value, and (iv) being fair and aligned with market, recognizing that there is a broad set of company peers.

In September 2020, in anticipation of the Business Combination, Opendoor Labs Inc.’s board of directors reapproved these RSU grants to Mr. Wu based on the recommendations of Compensia. In connection with negotiations regarding the Business Combination, it was agreed that the dilutive effect of the Post-Listing RSUs should be borne by Opendoor Labs Inc.’s stockholders before the closing of the Business Combination. To achieve this goal, the Post-Listing RSUs were granted prior to the closing of the Business Combination on December 17, 2020. Providing that the Post-Listing RSU would vest only if certain price targets are met provides a retention element and strong alignment with Company stockholders.

Specifically, pursuant to our continued employment letter agreement with Mr. Wu, entered into in January 2020 and amended in September 2020, Mr. Wu was granted 1,193,020 RSUs on February 6, 2020 and 1,014,215 RSUs on September 3, 2020 (together, the “Pre-Listing RSUs”), which vest according to the vesting schedule set forth in footnote 1 to the table above. Pursuant to this letter agreement, Mr. Wu was also granted 14,885,774 RSUs on December 17, 2020 (the “Post-Listing RSUs”), which have a term of seven years and which vest according to the vesting schedule set forth in footnote 1 to the table above.

During 2020, our Chief Product Officer, Mr. Willerer, entered into an amendment to his offer letter agreement which provided, among other things, that if his employment with us is terminated (i) by us without Cause (as defined in Mr. Willerer’s offer letter agreement) or (ii) due to his resignation for Good Reason, in each case, within 12 months following a Change of Control (each such term as defined in his offer letter agreement), then 50% of all his then outstanding but unvested stock option and RSU awards, whether or not granted under his offer letter agreement, will automatically and immediately vest, subject to the timely execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims against us. Opendoor Labs Inc.’s board of directors determined to enter into these offer letter agreement amendments prior to the contemplation of the Business Combination in order to assure the Company of the officers’ continued services in the context of a potential Change of Control event.

Pursuant to our offer letter agreement with Ms. Wheeler, entered into in September 2020, Ms. Wheeler was granted 3,979,154 RSUs on September 3, 2020 in two separate grants of 3,493,892 RSUs and 485,262 RSUs, each of which vests according to the applicable vesting schedule set forth in footnote 2 to the table above. Providing that the grant of 485,262 RSUs would vest only if certain price targets are met provides a retention element and strong alignment with Company stockholders. In connection with negotiations regarding the Business Combination, it was agreed that the dilutive effect of the grant of 404,385 RSUs should be borne by Opendoor Labs Inc.’s stockholders before the closing of the Business Combination. To achieve this goal, these RSUs were granted prior to the closing of the Business Combination on December 17, 2020 and vest according to the vesting schedule set forth in footnote 2 to the table above.

RSU Grants Under the 2020 Plan

Certain of our employees are entitled to receive equity awards under the Opendoor Technologies Inc. 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”) during 2021, including (1) a grant to Mr. Wu covering a number of shares equal to 1/8th of the 2020 Plan’s aggregate share reserve on the date of the closing of the Business Combination, and (2) grants to other Company employees covering, in the aggregate, 1/4th of the 2020 Plan’s aggregate share reserve on the date of the closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to this, on April 1, 2021, Mr. Wu received a grant of 5,438,506 RSUs under the 2020 Plan with the vesting start date (the “Vesting Commencement Date”) set at January 15, 2021. These RSUs will vest in a series of 16 successive equal quarterly installments following the Vesting Commencement Date, subject to Mr. Wu’s continuous service to the Company through each such vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the 2020 Plan to the contrary, if (1) the Company consummates a Change in Control (as defined in the 2020 Plan) and (2) Mr. Wu’s employment is terminated without Cause (as defined in his continued employment letter agreement with the Company, dated September 14, 2020 (the “Wu Agreement”)) or if he resigns from the Company for Good Reason (as defined in the Wu Agreement) in connection with or within 12 months after the Change in Control, then, effective as of Mr. Wu’s employment termination date, 100% of Mr. Wu’s then-unvested RSUs will become fully vested, subject to certain terms and conditions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On April 1, 2021, Elizabeth Stevens received grants of 121,316 RSUs and a grant of 153,684 RSUs with Vesting Commencement Dates of March 15, 2021 and June 15, 2021, respectively. With respect to the grant of 121,316 RSUs, 25% of such RSUs vested on the Vesting Commencement Date of such grant, and 75% of such RSUs will vest on the one-year anniversary of that Vesting Commencement Date, subject to Ms. Stevens’ continuous service to the Company through such vesting date. With respect to the grant of 153,684 RSUs, 25% of such RSUs will vest on the Vesting Commencement Date of such grant, 50% of such RSUs will vest on the one-year anniversary of that Vesting Commencement Date, and 25% of such RSUs will vest on the two-year anniversary of that Vesting Commencement Date, subject to Ms. Stevens’ continuous service to the Company through each such vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the 2020 Plan to the contrary, if (1) the Company consummates a Change in Control and (2) Ms. Stevens’ employment is terminated without Cause (as defined in the agreements evidencing the grant of her RSU awards (the “Stevens RSU Agreements”)) or if participant resigns from the Company for Good Reason (as defined in the Stevens RSU Agreements) in connection with or within 12 months after the Change in Control, then effective as of Ms. Stevens’ employment termination date, 100% of Ms. Stevens’ then-unvested RSUs will become fully vested, subject to certain terms and conditions.

The above grants were determined following the Compensation Committee’s review of peer group information, advice provided by the Company’s compensation consultants, market rates for employee and consultant compensation, the economic position of the Company, broader economic conditions, the Company’s historical employee and consultant compensation structure, and the potential dilutive effect of equity awards on the Company’s stockholders.

Sign-On and Retention Bonuses

In order to attract top talent, we from time to time provide sign-on and retention compensation to external hires. In connection with the hire of Mr. Gupta in July 2017, we approved a one-time cash sign-on and retention bonus in the aggregate amount of $550,000, $150,000 of which was paid within 30 days after his employment start date, $125,000 of which was paid within 30 days after the first anniversary of his employment start date, and the remaining $275,000 of which was paid within 30 days after the second anniversary of his employment start date. We believed that this sign-on and retention bonus arrangement was appropriate as an incentive to join us and to help retain Mr. Gupta through the second anniversary of his employment start date.

In connection with the hire of Mr. Willerer in July 2019, we approved a one-time cash sign-on and retention bonus in the aggregate amount of $190,000, $95,000 of which was paid within 30 days after his employment start date, and the remaining $95,000 of which is to be paid within 30 days after the first anniversary of his employment start date, subject to his continuous active employment with us through such anniversary date. We believed that this sign-on and retention bonus arrangement was appropriate as an incentive to join us and to help retain Mr. Willerer through the first anniversary of his employment start date.

In connection with the hire of Ms. Todaro in September 2019, we approved a cash sign-on and retention bonus in the aggregate amount of $150,000, $75,000 of which was paid within 30 days after her employment start date, and the remaining $75,000 of which is to be paid within 30 days after the first anniversary of her employment start date, subject to her continuous active employment with us through such anniversary date. We believed that this sign-on and retention bonus arrangement was appropriate as an incentive to join us and to help retain Ms. Todaro through the first anniversary of her employment start date.

In September 2019, we entered into a retention bonus agreement with Ms. Stevens (the “Stevens Retention Agreement”) pursuant to which Ms. Stevens was entitled to receive a retention bonus in the aggregate amount of $125,000 in two separate installments, subject to her continuous active employment with us through certain predetermined dates. Pursuant to the terms of the Stevens Retention Agreement, Ms. Stevens was paid a bonus of $50,000 within 30 days following December 15, 2019 and was paid a bonus of $75,000 within 30 days following August 31, 2020. We believed that this retention bonus arrangement was appropriate as an incentive to help retain Ms. Stevens through each retention bonus installment date.

In connection with the hire of Ms. Wheeler in September 2020, we approved a one-time cash sign-on and retention bonus in the aggregate amount of $100,000, net of applicable taxes, which was paid within five business days after her employment start date. However, if Ms. Wheeler resigns without Good Reason or is terminated by us for Cause (each, as defined in her offer letter agreement) at any time prior to the first anniversary of her employment start date, she is required to repay us the entire $100,000, less any non-refundable taxes, within 30 days after her last day of employment with us. We believed that this sign-on and retention bonus arrangement was appropriate as an incentive to join us and to help retain Ms. Wheeler through the first anniversary of her employment start date.

Retirement Plans and Other Employee Benefits

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans and programs, including medical and dental benefits and life insurance, to the same extent as our other full-time employees, subject to the terms and eligibility requirements of those plans. We also sponsor a 401(k) defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”), in which our named executive officers may participate, subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to the same extent as our other full-time employees. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) Plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in accordance with our compensation policies. We do not typically provide any perquisites or special personal benefits to our named executive officers that are not available to all employees generally.

In connection with the grant of stock options to Mr. Gupta in September 2017, Opendoor Labs Inc. granted Mr. Gupta the ability to exercise his option award up to an aggregate exercise price of $1.5 million with a 51% recourse promissory note (and pledge and security agreement) from Opendoor Labs Inc. dated March 29, 2018, bearing interest at the rate of 2.31% per annum, compounding annually.

Mr. Wu donated his salary for a portion of 2020 to a relief fund for Company employees affected by staff reductions in force.

Eric Wu Continued Employment Letter Agreement

We entered into a continued employment letter agreement with Mr. Wu in January 2020, which the Opendoor Labs Inc. board of directors negotiated prior to the contemplation of the Business Combination, which was subsequently amended and restated in September 2020 (as amended, the “Wu Agreement”). The Wu Agreement provides for an unspecified term of employment and entitles Mr. Wu to an annual base salary of $325,000 as well as certain RSU awards (each shown here as adjusted to reflect the Business Combination). Pursuant to the Wu Agreement, Mr. Wu was granted 1,193,020 RSUs on February 6, 2020 and 1,014,215 RSUs on September 3, 2020 (together, the “Pre-Listing RSUs”), which will vest only if both the “Service-Based Condition” and the “Liquidity Event Condition” (each as defined below) are satisfied, provided that delivery of the shares may be delayed in accordance with the terms of the 2014 Plan and Mr. Wu’s RSU grant agreements. The Service-Based Condition applicable to the Pre-Listing RSUs will be satisfied in 16 successive equal quarterly installments following November 1, 2019. The Liquidity Event Condition applicable to the Pre-Listing RSUs was satisfied in full upon the first to occur of the following on or before the seventh anniversary of the date of grant: (i) a Change of Control (as defined in the 2014 Plan) or (ii) the effective date of a registration statement filed under the Securities Act for the sale of the Company’s common stock. The Liquidity Event Condition was satisfied in February 2021 upon the effective date of the Company’s registration statement filed under the Securities Act for sale of its common stock. However, delivery of shares subject to fully-vested RSUs may be delayed in accordance with the terms of the 2014 Plan and Mr. Wu’s RSU grant agreements.

Pursuant to the Wu Agreement, Mr. Wu was also granted the Post-Listing RSUs, which have a term of seven years and vest upon (i) the occurrence of a “Listing Event” (as defined in the Wu Agreement) and (ii) the satisfaction of performance-based vesting conditions. The closing of the Business Combination satisfied the “Listing Event” vesting condition. The Post-Listing RSUs will satisfy the performance-based vesting condition, subject to Mr. Wu’s continued employment with us through each applicable vesting date, as to 1/6th of the Post-Listing RSUs upon the achievement of each of six predetermined share price milestones based on the 60-day volume weighted-average closing price of our publicly-traded class of common stock, or if earlier, based on the per share consideration received in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Wu Agreement). These milestones (as adjusted to reflect the Business Combination) are $18.11, $23.54, $30.60, $39.78, $51.71 and $67.23.

In the event Mr. Wu’s employment with us is terminated (i) by us without Cause (as defined below) or (ii) due to his resignation for Good Reason (as defined below), in each case, within 12 months following a Change of Control, then 100% of Mr. Wu’s Pre-Listing RSUs will become immediately vested. In addition, if Mr. Wu’s employment is terminated (i) by us without Cause or (ii) due to his resignation for Good Reason, regardless of whether a Change of Control has occurred, the Post-Listing RSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest upon achievement of the share price milestones for a period of 60 days following the date of termination. The acceleration of the Pre-Listing RSUs is subject to Mr. Wu’s continued compliance with our Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement and his timely execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims against us. This agreement does not provide for any cash severance entitlements or benefit continuation.

For purposes of the Wu Agreement:

•

“Cause” is generally defined to mean, subject to certain notice requirements and cure rights, Mr. Wu’s: (i) material breach of the his employment agreement, the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement or any material written policy of the Company; (ii) intentional repeated willful misconduct or gross neglect of his duties; (iii) his willful repeated failure to follow reasonable and lawful instructions from our Board; (iv) his conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any crime that results in, or is reasonably expected to result in, material harm to the business or reputation of the Company; (v) his commission of or participation in an act of fraud against the Company; or (vi) his intentional material damage to the Company’s business, property or reputation.

•
