Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

This statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of GoHealth, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 214 West Huron St., Chicago, IL 60654.

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

The Schedule 13D is being filed by the following persons (each a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

NVX Holdings, Inc. (“NVX”);

Brandon M. Cruz;

Clinton P. Jones; and

BCCJ, LLC (“BCCJ”).

Each of Messrs. Cruz and Jones is a citizen of the United States. Each of the other Reporting Persons is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The principal business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 214 West Huron St., Chicago, IL 60654. The principal occupation of Mr. Cruz is Co-Founder and Non-Executive Co-Chair of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer. The principal occupation of Mr. Jones is Co-Founder and Executive Chair of the Board of the Issuer. The other Reporting Persons are principally engaged in the business of managing investments in securities, including securities of the Issuer.

By virtue of the agreements made pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below), the Reporting Persons and certain persons affiliated with Centerbridge Partners (“Centerbridge,” and collectively with the Reporting Persons, the “Stockholders”) may be deemed to be acting as a group for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Shares beneficially owned by Centerbridge are not the subject of this Schedule 13D. For a description of the relationship between the Reporting Persons and Centerbridge, see Item 4 below.

During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor any Related Person (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Prior to the Issuer’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Reporting Persons acquired membership interests (“LLC Interests”) in GoHealth Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of the Issuer, in a series of transactions. In connection with certain reorganization transactions consummated at and following pricing of the IPO, and as more fully described in the Issuer’s prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 16, 2020, the Reporting Persons acquired an aggregate of 92,721,798 shares of the Issuer’s Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), each of which votes on a 1-for-1 basis with the Class A Common Stock and which will be proportionately cancelled for no consideration in connection with any redemption of the LLC Interests held by the Reporting Persons.

CUSIP No. 38046W105		13D		Page 6 of 11 pages

 

On March 16, 2021, BCCJ purchased 178,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for aggregate consideration of approximately $2 million in a series of open-market transactions. From August 16, 2021 to November 11, 2021, NVX purchased 807,300 shares of Class A Common Stock for aggregate consideration of approximately $3.2 million in a series of open-market transactions.

On November 17, 2022, after market close, the Issuer effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (the “Stock Split”). The beneficial ownership amounts in this Schedule 13D are presented on a post-split basis.

The Reporting Persons obtained the funds used to acquire their interests in the Issuer’s securities through capital contributions from their partners and members.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the IPO, the Issuer entered into a stockholders agreement, dated July 15, 2020 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), with the Stockholders. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, each of the Stockholders has the right to nominate to the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) (i) two directors, if the respective Stockholder continues to beneficially own at least 10% of the aggregate number of shares of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, or (ii) one director, if the respective Stockholder continues to beneficially own less than 10% but at least 5% of the aggregate number of shares of the outstanding Class A Common Stock. Each of the Stockholders has the right to nominate to the Board an additional (i) two independent directors (within the meaning of the NASDAQ Listing Rules), if the respective Stockholder continues to beneficially own at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, or (ii) one independent director, if the respective Stockholder continues to beneficially own less than 20% but at least 15% of the aggregate number of shares of the outstanding Class A Common Stock.

Additionally, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, each of the Stockholders will have the right to appoint one board observer so long as the respective Stockholder beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, at least 5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the IPO, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement, dated July 15, 2020 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with certain of the Reporting Persons and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which the Issuer granted shelf registration rights, piggyback registration rights and demand registration rights to the Reporting Persons, for the resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the Class A Common Stock held by them, directly or indirectly, as a result of the IPO, subject to certain conditions set forth therein.

CUSIP No. 38046W105		13D		Page 7 of 11 pages

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are attached as exhibits to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

Contingent Promissory Note

In connection with the IPO, certain Centerbridge Partners affiliates entered into a contingent promissory note (the “Note”), dated July 15, 2020, with certain of the Issuer’s other securityholders, including NVX, BCCJ and Blizzard Management Feeder, LLC (collectively, the “Payees”), pursuant to which such Centerbridge Partners affiliates have agreed to pay the Payees up to approximately $71.3 million in the event such Centerbridge Partners affiliates’ Realized Cash Proceeds (as defined in the Note) exceed certain dollar thresholds. Specifically, if such Centerbridge Partners affiliates’ Realized Cash Proceeds on their equity holdings as of the time of the IPO (whether from dividends, distributions, or sales) exceeds approximately $1.35 billion, the Payees shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in the amount of such excess, up to approximately $35.6 million. The remaining amount due under the Note shall be paid in the event the Realized Cash Proceeds exceed $1.62 billion (in the amount of such excess, up to the remaining amount due). The Note will automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) its full payment and (b) 30 days following the date on which such Centerbridge Partners affiliates no longer hold any of the equity securities of the Issuer held at the effective date of the Note.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

The Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, pursuant and in addition to the rights granted under the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons, including Messrs. Cruz and Jones in their respective positions at the Issuer, may engage in discussions with management, the Board, stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or take-private transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Class A Common Stock; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the Board. To facilitate their consideration of such matters, the Reporting Persons may retain consultants and advisors and may enter into

CUSIP No. 38046W105		13D		Page 8 of 11 pages

 

discussions with potential sources of capital and other third parties. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements. The Reporting Persons will likely take some or all of the foregoing steps at preliminary stages in their consideration of various possible courses of action before forming any intention to pursue any particular plan or direction.

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

Shares beneficially owned by Centerbridge are not the subject of this Schedule 13D and accordingly, Centerbridge is not included as a reporting person herein.
