ABOUT MOLINA HEALTHCARE
Molina Healthcare, Inc., a FORTUNE 500 company (currently ranked 125), provides managed healthcare services under the Medicaid and Medicare programs, and through the state insurance marketplaces (the “Marketplace”). We served approximately 5.3 million members as of December 31, 2022, located across 19 states.
Our Mission
We improve the health and lives of our members by delivering high-quality healthcare.
Our Vision
We distinguish ourselves as the low cost, most effective and reliable health plan delivering government-sponsored care.
Business Strategy
Our growth strategy continues to be anchored by our capital allocation priorities: first, organic growth of our core businesses by growing with new state procurement opportunities, retaining existing contracts, increasing market share in current service areas and pursuing carve-in opportunities; second, inorganic growth through accretive acquisitions; third, programmatically returning excess capital to shareholders, for example, in the form of targeted share repurchase programs; and fourth, strong MCR and general and administrative (“G&A”) management to drive attractive and sustainable margins. We are a pure-play government managed care business with synergistic segments and are committed to our core business.
Key Developments
We are pleased with the continued success of our profitable growth strategy. Presented below are key recent developments and accomplishments relating to progress on our strategy:
•Texas Procurement—Medicaid. On January 27, 2023, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a notice on its website indicating that it was issuing a Notice of Intent to Award to Molina Healthcare of Texas, Inc. a STAR+PLUS ABD contract in each of Bexar, Dallas, El Paso, Harris, Hidalgo, Jefferson, Northeast Texas, and Tarrant Service Areas. The notice follows a proposal that we submitted in June 2022 to continue serving STAR+PLUS members in the same service areas, in response to an RFP posted in March 2022. The start of operations for the new contract is expected to begin in February 2024. Further, in December 2022, the RFP was posted for the TANF and CHIP programs (known as the STAR & CHIP programs, and both existing contracts for Molina), with awards expected in February 2024 and the start of operations in February 2025.
•California Procurement—Medicaid. In January 2023, we announced that the California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) had confirmed our California health plan’s footprint as originally announced in August 2022, including Medi-Cal contract awards in each of Riverside, San Bernardino, Sacramento, and San Diego Counties. In Los Angeles County, we will share membership equally with the current commercial incumbent. The Medi-Cal contracts are expected to commence on January 1, 2024, which enables us to continue serving Medi-Cal members in our existing counties and expand our footprint in Los Angeles County. DHCS has also agreed to grant Molina a contract to offer exclusively aligned enrollment special needs plan (“EAE-SNP”) products for dual eligible members in Los Angeles County.
•New York Acquisition—Medicaid. On October 1, 2022, we closed on our acquisition of the Medicaid Managed Long Term Care business of AgeWell New York (“AgeWell”).
•Nebraska Procurement—Medicaid. In September 2022, we announced that our Nebraska health plan subsidiary was selected by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services to provide health care

services to Nebraskans under the state’s Medicaid managed care program. The new five-year contract is expected to begin on January 1, 2024, and may be extended for an additional two-years.
•Iowa Procurement—Medicaid. In August 2022, we announced that our Iowa health plan had been notified by the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (“Iowa HHS”) of its intent to award a Medicaid managed care contract pursuant to the RFP issued by Iowa HHS in February 2022. The new four-year contract is expected to begin on July 1, 2023, and may be extended for an additional four years.
•Mississippi Procurement—Medicaid. In August 2022, we announced that our Mississippi health plan had been notified by the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (“DOM”) of its intent to award a Medicaid Coordinated Care Contract for its Mississippi Coordinated Access Program and Mississippi Children’s Health Insurance Program pursuant to the Request for Qualifications issued by DOM in December 2021. The four-year contract is expected to begin on July 1, 2023, and may be extended for an additional two years. The award enables us to continue serving Medicaid members across the state.
•Wisconsin Acquisition—Medicaid and Medicare. On July 13, 2022, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all the assets of My Choice Wisconsin, further adding to our market leading Long-Term Services and Supports business. The transaction is subject to receipt of applicable federal and state regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. We currently expect the transaction to close in mid-2023.
•Nevada Procurement—Medicaid. Our new contract in Clark and Washoe Counties commenced on January 1, 2022, and offers health coverage to TANF, CHIP and Medicaid Expansion beneficiaries. This new contract has a term of four years with a potential two-year extension.
•Texas Acquisition—Medicaid and Medicare. On January 1, 2022, we closed on our acquisition of Cigna Corporation’s Texas Medicaid and Medicare-Medicaid Plan contracts, along with certain operating assets.
•Ohio Procurement—Medicaid. On April 13, 2021, we announced that our Ohio health plan subsidiary was selected as an awardee in all three regions across the state pursuant to the Medicaid managed care request for award issued on September 30, 2020, by the Ohio Department of Medicaid. This new contract was expected to begin on July 1, 2022, but was subsequently delayed until February 1, 2023. Pursuant to this contract, we offer health care coverage to Medicaid beneficiaries through the state of Ohio’s Covered Family and Children, Expansion, and ABD programs.

Proxy Statement
This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Molina Healthcare, Inc. (“Board” or “Board of Directors”) for the annual meeting to be held on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. Please review this proxy statement in its entirety and the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“Annual Report”) before voting. In this proxy statement, we may refer to Molina Healthcare, Inc. as the “Company,” “Molina Healthcare,” “our,” or “we”.
Proposal 1 - Election of Directors
All nine directors will be elected for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. All directors will serve until the expiration of their respective terms and until their respective successors are elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier resignation, removal from office, death, or incapacity.
Under our bylaws, each director nominee receiving a majority of the votes cast at the meeting at which a quorum is present will be elected as a director. If a nominee for director who is an incumbent director is not elected and no successor has been elected at the meeting, that director will continue to serve as a “holdover director” until a successor is qualified and elected. However, under our bylaws the holdover director would be required to tender his or her offer to resign to our corporate secretary promptly following certification of the election results. Within 90 days following certification of the election results, (i) the corporate governance and nominating committee will consider, and make a recommendation to the Board, as to whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken, and (ii) the Board will act on the committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it. The holdover director would not participate in either the committee’s or the Board’s deliberations regarding that director’s offer to resign.
The nine incumbent directors, Barbara L. Brasier, Daniel Cooperman, Dr. Stephen H. Lockhart, Steven J. Orlando, Ronna E. Romney, Richard M. Schapiro, Dale B. Wolf, Richard C. Zoretic, and Joseph M. Zubretsky, have been nominated by the Board, upon recommendation of the corporate governance and nominating committee, for re-election as directors to serve for a one-year term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2024.
The Board believes that each of the director nominees possesses the requisite qualifications, skills, experience, and expertise to oversee and to provide strategic counsel and advice to the Company. In addition, each of the director nominees, except Mr. Zubretsky, the Company’s president and chief executive officer, meets the independence standards contained in the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) corporate governance rules and Molina Healthcare’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. For a summary of the director nominees, including their respective qualifications, skills, and experience, please see the information below provided under the captions, “Information About Director Nominees” and “Additional Information About Directors.”
Proxies can only be voted for the nine named director nominees.
In the event any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who may be designated by the Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of any nominee who is unable or will decline to serve as a director.

ü | THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH DIRECTOR NOMINEE.

Independent Director Tenure
An extensive skills assessment is one of the main ways in which the Company’s governance policies aid in the maintenance of an effective Board.
The Board develops a skills matrix reflecting the Company’s strategic plan and maps our directors’ backgrounds and experience against these skills. The Board conducts an annual self-evaluation.
The tenure of our existing independent directors ranges from 2 years t o 19 years. We believe the tenure of our independent directors provides the appropriate balance of continuity, expertise, and perspective to our Board, and is a strategic asset of the Company, all of which serves the best interests of our stockholders. To facilitate the addition of new directors to the Board, the Board approved 12-year term limits for independent directors elected for the first time to the Board beginning with the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.
We believe that the combination of the refreshment, insights, and skills that come with new directors with the historical corporate knowledge of the longer-tenured directors has led to a Board that is both effective and works well together. In furtherance of that goal, the corporate governance and nominating committee, with input from the entire Board, performs periodic strategic evaluations of our directors’ skills, qualifications, and experience. In connection with such evaluations, we added four of our nine current directors to the Board since late 2017, and we have added seven of our nine current directors since 2013.

Corporate Governance and Board of Directors Matters
The Board continually strives to pursue sound corporate governance policies and practices, to maintain high standards of ethical conduct, to report the Company’s financial results with accuracy and transparency, and to maintain full compliance with the laws, rules, and regulations that govern the Company’s business.
The Board’s standing committees operate pursuant to their respective written charters. The current charters of the audit committee, the corporate governance and nominating committee, the compensation committee, the compliance and quality committee, and the finance committee, as well as the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and Policy and Procedures with Respect to Related Person Transactions, are available in the “Investor Information” section of the Company’s website, www.molinahealthcare.com, under the link “Governance.” Molina Healthcare stockholders may obtain printed copies of these documents free of charge by writing to Molina Healthcare, Inc., Jeff D. Barlow, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, 2180 Harvard Street, Suite 400, Sacramento, California 95815.
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Responsibilities
The corporate governance and nominating committee’s mandate is to develop and monitor corporate governance policies, and to identify qualified individuals for nomination to the Board of Directors. All of the members of the committee meet the independence standards contained in the NYSE corporate governance rules and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.
The committee considers all qualified director candidates proposed by members of the Board of Directors, by senior management, and by stockholders. Stockholders who would like to propose a director candidate for consideration by the committee may do so by submitting the candidate’s name, resume, and biographical information to the attention of the Corporate Secretary as described below under the heading, “Questions and Answers About our Annual Meeting — How can I present a proposal for next year’s annual meeting?”. All proposals for nominations received by the Corporate Secretary will be presented to the committee for its consideration. As set forth in our bylaws, any stockholder or group of up to twenty (20) stockholders who have maintained continuous qualifying ownership of at least three percent (3%) of the shares of the Company's outstanding common stock for at least the previous three years also have the ability to submit director nominees for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for its annual meeting of stockholders. No stockholder may be a member of more than one group for these purposes. The maximum number of candidates nominated by all eligible stockholders that the Company would be required to include in the Company's proxy materials, together with any nominees who were previously elected to the Board using proxy access during the preceding two annual meetings, is that number of directors constituting the greater of two or twenty percent (20%) of the total number of directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number) on the last day on which a nomination notice may be submitted to the Company. The deadline for submitting the nominee is set forth below in “Questions and Answers About our Annual Meeting — How can I present a proposal for next year’s annual meeting?”.
Board Composition, Refreshment, and Term Limits
The Board and the corporate governance and nominating committee have made it a priority to ensure the Board is composed of directors who bring diverse viewpoints and perspectives, and who possess a multitude of skills, professional experience, and backgrounds. To facilitate the addition of new directors to the Board, the Board approved 12-year term limits for independent directors elected for the first time to the Board beginning with the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board and the corporate governance and nominating committee believe that new perspectives and ideas are critical to a forward-looking and strategic Board, as is the ability to benefit from the valuable experience and corporate familiarity that longer-serving directors bring. The corporate governance and nominating committee desires to maintain an appropriate balance of tenure, turnover, diversity, and skills on the Board. The corporate governance and nominating committee focuses on this through an ongoing, year-round process, which includes the annual Board evaluation process described below under “Corporate Governance Guidelines - Board Evaluation Process”.
Board Membership Criteria
The Board and the corporate governance and nominating committee believe that, on the one hand, there are general qualifications that all directors must exhibit, and that, on the other hand, there are other key qualifications and experience that should be represented on the Board in some capacity but not necessarily by each director. The Board and the corporate governance and nominating committee require that each director be a person of high integrity with a proven record of success in his or her field and have the ability to devote the time and effort
Molina Healthcare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | 15

Table of Contents
necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Board and the Company. Each director must demonstrate familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and sound corporate governance practices.
The committee reviews each candidate’s biographical information and assesses each candidate’s independence, skills, and expertise based on a variety of factors, including breadth of experience reflecting that the candidate will be able to make a meaningful contribution to the Board’s discussion of and decision-making regarding the array of complex issues facing the Company; understanding of the Company’s business environment; the possession of expertise that would complement the attributes of our existing directors; whether the candidate will appropriately balance the legitimate interests and concerns of all stockholders and other stakeholders in reaching decisions rather than advancing the interests of a particular constituency; and whether the candidate will be able to devote sufficient time and energy to the performance of his or her duties as a director. Application of these factors involves the exercise of judgment by the committee and the Board.
Based on its assessment of each candidate’s independence, skills, and qualifications, the committee will make recommendations regarding potential director candidates to the Board. The committee follows the same process and uses the same criteria for evaluating candidates proposed by stockholders, members of the Board of Directors, and members of senior management.
For the 2023 annual meeting, the Company did not receive notice of any director nominations from its stockholders.
Board Diversity
Diversity is among the factors that the corporate governance and nominating committee considers when evaluating the composition of the Board. As set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, diversity may reflect gender, ethnicity, industry focus, and tenure on the Board so as to enhance the Board’s ability to manage and direct the affairs and business of the Company, including, when applicable, to enhance the ability of the committees of the Board to fulfill their duties and/or to satisfy any independence requirements imposed by law, regulation, New York Stock Exchange listing standards, and the Company’s bylaws and other corporate governance documents. When recommending director nominees for election by stockholders, the Board and the corporate governance and nominating committee evaluate how the experience and skill set of each director nominee complements those of the other director nominees and sitting Board members to create a balanced Board with diverse viewpoints and extensive expertise.
Each director candidate contributes to the Board’s overall diversity by providing a variety of perspectives from his or her personal and professional experiences and backgrounds. The Board has two women directors, Barbara L. Brasier and Ronna E. Romney, as well as Dr. Stephen H. Lockhart, who self-identifies as African-American. The Board is committed to continuing to consider diversity in evaluating the composition of the Board, and in the future anticipates nominating additional women and persons from underrepresented communities. The Board is committed to adding a Latina or Latino candidate as its next new director.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines embody many of our practices, policies, and procedures, which are the foundation of our commitment to sound corporate governance practices. The guidelines are reviewed annually and revised as necessary. The guidelines outline the responsibilities, operations, qualifications, and composition of the Board. The guidelines provide that a majority of the members of the Board shall be independent.
Board Committees
The guidelines require that all members of the Company’s audit, corporate governance and nominating, and compensation committees be independent. Committee members and chairs are appointed by the Board upon recommendation of the corporate governance and nominating committee and are rotated from time to time in accordance with the Board’s judgment. The Board and each committee have the power to hire and fire independent legal, financial, or other advisors, as they may deem necessary.
Board and Committee Meetings
Meetings of the non-management directors are held as part of every regularly scheduled Board meeting and are presided over by the Chairman of the Board. Directors have full and free access to senior management and other employees of Molina Healthcare. Directors are expected to prepare for, attend, and participate in all Board meetings, meetings of the committees on which they serve, and the annual meeting of stockholders. All of the directors then in office attended Molina Healthcare’s 2022 annual meeting.

Table of Contents
Board Evaluation Process
The Board recognizes that a robust and constructive evaluation process is a critical component of good corporate governance and Board effectiveness. Through this process, directors provide feedback to assess Board and committee performance, including areas where the Board believes it is functioning effectively and areas where the Board believes it can improve. The corporate governance and nominating committee oversees the annual Board evaluation process focused on the performance of: (i) the Board, (ii) Board committees, and (iii) individual directors. As part of this process, the corporate governance and nominating committee establishes the procedures, which may vary from year to year, in advance of each year’s evaluation process, and which may also involve the engagement of an independent third party to conduct the Board evaluation. In addition, each committee conducts its own self-evaluation. The self-evaluation process is designed to elicit candid feedback regarding the areas where the Board and its committees could improve their effectiveness. In addition, the corporate governance and nominating committee regularly discusses Board composition and effectiveness.
Succession Planning
Reflecting the importance of succession planning, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board in consultation with the chief executive officer shall analyze the current senior management, identify possible successors to management, and develop a succession plan. The succession plan includes policies and principles for chief executive officer selection and succession in the event of an emergency or the unavailability of the chief executive officer.
Director Continuing Education
New directors are provided with an orientation program to familiarize them with Molina Healthcare’s business, and its legal, compliance, and regulatory profile. New directors participate in introductory meetings with the Company’s executive management and are provided materials and presentations on the Company’s strategic plan and key business issues, policies, and practices. The Company makes available to the Board educational seminars on a variety of topics at its expense. These seminars are intended to allow directors to develop a deeper understanding of relevant health care, governmental, and business issues facing the Company, and to assist them in keeping pace with developments in corporate governance and critical issues relating to the operations of public company Boards. The Board members also periodically participate in visits to the Company’s health plans.
Compensation Committee Matters
The Board reviews the compensation committee’s report on the performance of Mr. Zubretsky, the Company’s current president and chief executive officer, in order to ensure that he is providing effective leadership for the Company. The Board also works with the compensation committee and the corporate governance and nominating committee with respect to matters of succession planning for the president and chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, and other senior executive officers of the Company.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that, except for Mr. Zubretsky (the Company’s president and chief executive officer), each of the directors of the Company and the director nominees has no material relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment as a director, and is otherwise “independent” in accordance with the applicable listing requirements of the NYSE, the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. In making that determination, the Board of Directors considered all relevant facts and circumstances, including the director’s commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, social, and familial relationships, among others. In addition, a director will not be considered independent if Section 303A.02(b) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (or any applicable successor listing standard) otherwise disqualifies such director from being considered independent. The independence of directors and the materiality of any business relationships delineated above is determined by the Board in its discretion. In assessing the influence of director tenure in the context of the evaluation of director independence, the Board believes that it is notable that the longer tenured members of the Board all voted to terminate the senior management of the Company in 2017, and that the duration of Mr. Zubretsky’s tenure is only five years.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics governing all employees and directors of Molina Healthcare and its subsidiaries. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our website at www.molinahealthcare.com. From the Molina home page, click on “About Molina,” then click on “Investor Information,” and then click on “Governance.” There were no waivers of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics during 2022. We intend to disclose amendments to, or waivers of, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, if any, on our website.
Compliance Hotline
The Company encourages employees, consultants, vendors, and others to raise possible ethical issues, instances of potential fraud, or other issues of concern. The Company offers several channels by which employees and others may report ethical concerns or incidents, including, without limitation, concerns about accounting, internal controls, auditing matters, or HR matters. We provide a Compliance Hotline that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Individuals may choose to remain anonymous while reporting any issues. We prohibit retaliatory action against any individual for raising legitimate concerns or questions regarding ethical matters or for reporting suspected violations.
Communications with the Board
Stockholders or other interested parties who wish to communicate with a member or members of the Board of Directors, including the non-management directors as a group, may do so by addressing their correspondence to the individual Board member or Board members, c/o Corporate Secretary, Molina Healthcare, Inc., 2180 Harvard Street, Suite 400, Sacramento, California 95815. The Board of Directors has approved a process pursuant to which the Corporate Secretary shall review and forward correspondence to the appropriate director or group of directors for response.
Board Leadership Structure
The roles of chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer are split, and the chairman is an independent director. Mr. Dale B. Wolf has been serving as the chairman of the Board since May 2017. Ms. Romney has been serving as the vice-chair of the Board since May 2017. The Board believes that the partnership between the chief executive officer and the chairman of the Board enables both executives to apply their strongest skills to charting a successful course for our business and continuing the sustained growth of our business. Mr. Zubretsky, as president and chief executive officer, is accountable for the Company’s strategic direction and operations, and Mr. Wolf, as chairman of the Board, focuses on Board leadership and governance-related matters.
The Board strongly supports having an independent director as the Board chairman. Having an independent chairman enables non-management directors to raise issues and concerns for Board consideration without immediately involving management. We believe the non-executive chairman of the Board plays an important governance leadership role that enhances long-term stockholder value.
The authority and responsibilities of the chairman and the vice chair are detailed in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The chairman shall preside at all meetings of the Board (including executive sessions) and of the stockholders, and serve as the liaison between the independent directors and the chief executive officer. In addition to any other responsibilities that the independent directors as a whole might designate from time to time, the chairman is also responsible for approving: (i) the quality, quantity, and timeliness of the information sent to the Board, and (ii) the meeting agenda, schedules, and materials for the Board. The chairman has the authority to call meetings of the independent directors and to set the agendas for such meetings. If requested by major stockholders of the Company, the chairman is responsible for ensuring that he or she is available, when appropriate, for consultation and direct communication in accordance with procedures developed by the Company and the chairman. Further, the chairman may perform such other duties, and exercise such powers, as prescribed in the bylaws of the Company or by the Board from time to time. The vice-chair of the Board assists the chairman in performing his or her duties and responsibilities, and performs such other duties as may be prescribed by the Board from time to time.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings to which any director, officer, nominee, or principal stockholder, or any affiliate thereof, is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
While management is responsible for designing and implementing the Company’s risk management process, controls, and oversight, the Board, both as a whole and through its committees, has overall responsibility for oversight of the Company’s risk management. The Board regularly receives reports from senior management with respect to the Company’s management of major risks, including efforts to identify, assess, manage, and mitigate risks that may affect the Company’s ability to execute on its corporate strategy and fulfill its business objectives. The Board’s role is to oversee this effort and to consult with management on the effectiveness of risk identification, measurement, monitoring and mitigation processes, and the adequacy of staffing and action plans, as needed. The Company has also instituted a management enterprise risk management committee to assess the risks of the Company. In addition, the compensation committee reviews compensation programs to ensure that they do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking. The compensation committee has concluded our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Stock Ownership Guidelines for Directors
The Board believes that individual directors should own and hold a reasonable number of shares of common stock of the Company to further align the director’s interests and actions with those of the Company’s stockholders, and also to demonstrate confidence in the long-term prospects of the Company. We maintain stock ownership guidelines for directors which provide that the non-executive directors must hold shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of at least five (5) times the annual cash retainer for directors. The value of a director’s holdings is based on the average closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock for the previous calendar year. Shares that satisfy these guidelines may be those owned directly, through a trust, or by a spouse or children, and include shares purchased on the open market, vested or unvested shares of restricted stock, or exercised and retained option shares. Until a director’s stock ownership requirement is met, the director must retain at least 50% of all “net settled shares” received from the vesting, delivery, or exercise of equity awards granted under the Company’s equity award plans until the total value of all shares held equals or exceeds the director’s applicable ownership threshold. “Net settled shares” generally refers to those shares that remain after the payment of (i) the exercise price of stock options or purchase price of other awards, (ii) all applicable withholding taxes, and (iii) any applicable transaction costs. Non-employee directors must comply with the stock ownership guidelines within five (5) years of their election to the Board. Each non-employee director of the Company satisfied the applicable stock ownership guidelines as of December 31, 2022, except Mr. Lockhart who was elected to the Board in May 2021, and who has five (5) years from his election to comply with the stock ownership guidelines.

•We annually publish an Environmental, Social, and Governance Report (ESG Report) which provides information on our ESG practices and performance related to social initiatives, community contributions and health, workplace, governance, and the environment. Our 2023 ESG Report is posted on our website at https://investors.molinahealthcare.com/corporate-governance/esg-reports-and-resources.
•As part of the 30% discretionary portion of the annual short-term performance-based cash bonus based on the NEOs’ individual performance the compensation committee has historically included a goal tied to the Company’s achievement of various ESG initiatives.

Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the health and lives of our members by delivering high-quality healthcare.
•Through our locally operated health plans, as of December 31, 2022, we served approximately 5.3 million members eligible for Medicaid, Medicare, and other government-sponsored healthcare programs for low-income families and individuals, including Marketplace members, most of whom receive government premium subsidies.

Table of Contents
•Seven of our health plans earned NCQA’s Long Term Services and Supports Distinction.
•NCQA has also recognized Molina Healthcare of California as one of nine health plans in the first cohort of the Health Equity Accreditation Plus program. The new accreditation program recognizes organizations that partner with community groups, offer clinical and social resources, collect data on social determinants and are transparent about that data.
Social Initiatives
Our MolinaCares Accord initiative addresses social issues that afflict delivery of healthcare, including racial disparities in the access to, and delivery of, care; social determinants of health; opioid use disorder and substance abuse; rural access to healthcare; healthcare for the elderly, infirmed and frail; and other health care issues impacted by socioeconomic disparities.
As part of such initiative, we previously formed and funded The Molina Healthcare Charitable Foundation, a non-profit organization (“MolinaCares Foundation”) whose mission is to improve the health and lives of underserved communities by identifying and supporting promising solutions to address the many social issues that afflict health care access, delivery, and outcomes. Some examples of MolinaCares Foundation partnerships and programs include the following:
•UCLA Health Equity Challenge– MolinaCares Foundation partnered with the University of California, Los Angeles, to create and launch the Health Equity Challenge, a competition that provides UCLA graduate students the opportunity to respond to a health equity issue in California. The winning projects focused on a de-escalation toolkit for medical providers working with patients who are experiencing a mental health crisis, and an intervention program aimed at improving the quality of maternal mental health care for mothers of color in South Los Angeles.
•Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS)– The MolinaCares Foundation supported a pilot program for the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services addressing social determinants of health for Arab Americans and community residents. The goal of the program is to improve health equity by increasing access to care.
•Transitions Clinic Network– MolinaCares Foundation partnered with the Transitions Clinic Network (TCN) on the Reentry Health Care Hub. To support TCN’s work connecting formerly incarcerated individuals to much needed primary care through their ongoing accessibility to care efforts, improved care coordination and by creating new infrastructure for referrals from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
•Houston Family Scholar House– MolinaCares Foundation partnered with Family Scholar House, an organization that uses education and social support as tools to end cycles of poverty. Through a MolinaCares Foundation grant, Family Scholar House will launch pre-residential services for the Houston community, including education success coaching, health care, food assistance and childcare resources.
Our health plans employ a comprehensive approach that identifies social determinants of health (SDOH) needs at both the health plan enrollee and community level. Our Health Equity Officer, Dr. Sarita Massey, is responsible for embedding the Company’s health equity vision and strategy into our markets and contributing to improved health equity for our members. Dr. Massey leads the Health Equity Committee at Molina, with representation from each of our health plans, as well as functional areas such as quality, member services, customer experience and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). In addition, our National Molina Healthcare Social Determinants of Health Innovation Center expands member engagement and support by developing programs and best practices to address healthcare access barriers created by social factors. The National Molina Healthcare Social Determinants of Health Innovation Center partners with local and national community-based organizations, providers, and stakeholders to better serve the social and physical needs of our members and integrates SDOH into the Company’s models of care through various initiatives.
We also address SDOH through our Care Connections program, such as access to healthcare due to transportation challenges and housing instability, by expanding access to quality care by meeting patients where they are, in their homes, at mobile or pop-up clinics, or on virtual visits. Our Care Connections team consisting of nurse practitioners provides in-home visits to those who have difficulty accessing care in facilities. The nurse practitioners provide wellness and preventive care services and “boots on the ground” to determine if SDOH play a role in members’ health challenges. Services include annual physical exams; a review of medical history, medications, SDOH; assessments of pain and functional status; psychosocial well-being assessments; and identification and closing of preventive care gaps.

Human Capital Management
We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce and are an equal opportunity employer. Our diverse employee population reflects the diversity of the members and communities we serve. Our diverse workforce consists of approximately 79% of female employees and 59% of employees who self-identify as minorities. Our CEO signed the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion pledge, the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance workforce diversity and inclusion. We have a diversity, equity, and inclusion program, and Employee Resource Groups (ERG) focused on providing support, enhancing career development, and contributing to improvement of workplace diversity and inclusion. Molina requires all employees to complete cultural competency training.
Employee experience and workplace modernization continue to be a top priority and we are focused on providing opportunities for our employees that are intellectually stimulating, emotionally fulfilling, and financially rewarding.
Consistent with those commitments, in 2022, we announced our transition to a permanent remote work environment for nearly all of our employees. We offer a comprehensive suite of benefits to all eligible employees, including, among others: competitive compensation and benefits; six weeks of paid parental leave; paid time off for employees to participate in community service; employee well-being programs for physical, emotional, and financial needs, including spousal participation; employee discount and other programs, including tuition reimbursement. We engage with our employees and encourage open communication, including through participation in employee surveys.
Environmental Programs
We believe that being good stewards of the public trust includes being good stewards of the environment. Molina’s direct environmental impacts are concentrated in our office space, consisting of electricity, heating, and cooling. We have adopted a permanent remote work model for nearly all of our employees, and as such are reducing our real estate footprint by more than two-thirds. This results in a reduction of energy and waste produced by large offices. In addition, without an office to travel to, thousands of Molina employees across the country are no longer commuting to work every day. We believe this will significantly reduce our carbon footprint. We also have fully embraced collaborative technology that allows employees to feel like they are in the same room, cutting down on business travel, and further reducing our carbon footprint. Our remote work environment also accelerated the digitization of various business processes, which results in less use of paper and saving trees and water while reducing waste and CO2 emission.

Information About the Board and its Committees
Meetings of Non-Management Directors
It is the customary practice of the Company’s non-management directors to meet in one or more executive sessions without any management directors in attendance each time the full Board convenes for a regularly scheduled in-person Board meeting, which is usually four times each year, and, if the Board convenes a special meeting, the non-management directors may meet in executive session if the circumstances warrant.

Proposal 2 - Advisory Vote on the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers
Consistent with the vote of stockholders at our 2017 annual meeting to hold an annual advisory vote on the Company's executive compensation (commonly referred to as "say-on-pay"), we present a say-on-pay vote every year. At our annual meeting last year, our stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the Company’s executive compensation for 2021. Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are again holding an advisory vote on the Company’s executive compensation for 2022 as described in this proxy statement.
You are voting on a proposal which gives our stockholders the opportunity to endorse or not endorse our named executive officer pay program and policies through the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers for 2022, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the CD&A, compensation tables, and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”
We urge you to consider the various factors regarding compensation matters as discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement.
As discussed at length in the CD&A, we believe that our executive compensation program is reasonable, competitive, and strongly focused on pay-for-performance principles. We emphasize compensation opportunities that reward our executives for the Company’s financial and strategic achievements, as well as their individual performance achievements. The compensation of our named executive officers varies depending upon the achievement of pre-established performance goals, both corporate and individual. Through stock ownership requirements and equity incentives, we also align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders and the long-term interests of the Company. Our executive compensation policies have enabled us to attract and retain talented and experienced senior executives. We believe that the compensation program for our named executive officers is appropriate and aligned with the Company’s financial results and position for growth in future years.
Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, our Board of Directors values the opinions that our stockholders express in their votes and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements as it deems appropriate.

ü | THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE ADVISORY RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Executive Summary - Why Vote “FOR” Our Say-On-Pay Proposal?
Before you vote on Proposal 2 – Advisory Vote on the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers – the compensation committee encourages you to review this Executive Summary, as well as the additional detail provided in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and narrative of this proxy statement.
The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to reflect pay-for-performance, with a focus on long-term performance in alignment with the Company’s long-term strategic business interests and stockholders’ interests. The compensation committee annually reviews the design of the executive compensation program, and continues to support its design for 2022.
Achievement of 2022 Pay-for-Performance Metrics and Goals
2022 was a very successful year for the Company. Management delivered strong financial performance as well as strong operating performance. With regard to our principal financial metric of adjusted net income per share, we achieved adjusted net income in 2022 of $1,048 million, an increase of 32% over 2021 performance. We also improved our operating metrics and continued to achieve both inorganic and organic growth. We generated premium revenue of $30.9 billion, an increase of 15% over 2021, reflecting increased membership. We ended the year with 5.3 million members, an increase of 59,000 members, primarily due to growth in the enrollment of our Medicaid members. Our Medicaid enrollment finished the year at 4.8 million members, representing growth of over 425,000 members. We achieved this growth while also continuing to improve our operating efficiency, enhancing the level of our talent, and developing future capabilities needed to address the evolving healthcare environment. For a summary of our management’s several accomplishments in 2022, please see “About Molina
Healthcare - Key Developments” on page 1 of this proxy statement.
Executive Pay is Aligned with Company Performance and Stockholders’ Interests
•The Company adheres to a rigorous pay-for-performance philosophy, which is reflected in its short-term and long-term executive compensation programs.
•We maintain a simplified compensation program, with only a few performance metrics, all of which are closely aligned with our stockholders’ interests.
•The Company’s 2022 annual short-term performance-based cash bonus program combined both objective and discretionary elements, with 70% of the program based on a 2022 adjusted net income per share measure, and 30% of the program based on an assessment of individual performance pursuant to the compensation committee’s discretion. As reported in the Company’s February 9, 2022 release, the Company issued its full year 2022 earnings guidance of no less than $17.00 per share. T he compensation committee set the threshold, target, and maximum payout levels for the Company’s 2022 short-term incentive cash bonus program in reference to this initial 2022 guidance of $17.00 per diluted share, representing a 2022 adjusted net income of $993 million. In fiscal year 2022, the Company achieved adjusted earnings per diluted share of $17.92, representing a 2022 adjusted net income of $1,048 million, well in excess of the Company’s initial guidance. The Company also achieved many of the goals and objectives established in February 2022 with regard to the individual performance component of the Company’s 2022 short-term incentive cash bonus program pursuant to the compensation committee’s discretion. Based on the Company’s strong financial results, as well as the Company’s achievement of most of its 2022 goals and objectives, the compensation committee approved a total payout factor for the 2022 short-term incentive bonus program to the named executive officers at 185% of target.
•With regard to long-term equity-based incentive compensation, in 2022 60% of the awards to the NEOs were in the form of performance stock units based on the Company’s three-year average adjusted earnings per share for each of the fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024, with 40% based on time vesting in equal one-third increments over three years from the grant date.
•At our 2022 annual stockholders’ meeting, we received strong approval by our stockholders on our say-on-pay proposal, with 95.3% of shares voting (excluding broker non-votes) to approve our say-on-pay proposal. The Company believes this outcome reflects strong stockholder support for its executive compensation programs.

CD&A Overview
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes and explains the elements of the compensation paid to our named executive officers for 2022. In addition, this CD&A describes the objectives of the Company’s compensation programs, including what each program is designed to reward, and why the Company chose to pay or not to pay a particular compensation element.
The compensation committee of the Board of Directors has primary responsibility for overseeing and reviewing the design and structure of the Company’s compensation programs. The compensation committee is directly responsible for evaluating the performance of, and determining the compensation paid to, our chief executive officer. The compensation committee also reviews and approves the compensation paid to our other named executive officers as recommended by the chief executive officer, taking into consideration: (a) pre-established performance goals and objectives, (b) the Company’s performance, (c) strategic leadership in furtherance of the Company’s long term strategies, (d) market comparables of an appropriate peer group, and (e) the Company’s overall compensation philosophy.
In light of the unprecedented and unforeseeable circumstances and unique challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, the compensation committee regularly discussed the Company’s performance and its compensation program.
This CD&A is focused on the compensation paid for 2022 to our following current key executives, collectively referred to as our “named executive officers” or “NEOs” in 2022.
•Joseph M. Zubretsky, president and chief executive officer;
•Mark L. Keim, chief financial officer;
•Jeff D. Barlow, chief legal officer and secretary;
•James E. Woys, executive vice president of health plan services; and
•Marc S. Russo, executive vice president of health plans.

In 2022, and in consideration of favorable say-on-pay vote outcomes, we maintained the same general compensation program structure as originally established in 2018, which was significantly simplified from the compensation programs for prior years under former management. The compensation program is based on target total compensation opportunities for our executives within a reasonable range of the median relative to peer executives, with actual compensation set below median when performance is below target, at median for median performance, and above median when warranted by strong performance (see “The Company’s Compensation Philosophy” below).
Results of the May 2022 “Say-On-Pay” Vote
At our 2017 annual stockholders’ meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an annual advisory “say-on-pay” proposal. The compensation committee monitors the results of the Company’s annual advisory “say-on-pay” proposal and considers such results as one of many factors in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. At our 2022 annual stockholders’ meeting, we received strong approval by the stockholders on our say-on-pay proposal, with 95.3% of shares voting to approve our say-on-pay proposal (excluding broker non-votes) with regard to fiscal year 2021 compensation.
The Company adheres to a rigorous pay-for-performance philosophy. Based on stockholders’ feedback from our outreach and the strong support reflected by past advisory votes on say-on-pay proposals, the compensation committee determined to maintain its compensation philosophy unchanged for 2022, with performance metrics which closely align with stockholders’ interests.
The compensation committee will continue to take into consideration the outcome of the Company’s say-on-pay proposals, as well as stockholder feedback received through the course of outreach to stockholders, when making future compensation decisions for the NEOs. Further, the Company will continue to focus on aligning executive pay with building stockholder value and achievement of short-term and long-term financial and strategic objectives.
Compensation Committee Decision-Making Process

Role of the Compensation Committee The compensation committee annually evaluates the chief executive officer’s performance, and makes preliminary determinations about his base salary, annual short-term performance-based cash bonus award, and long-term equity-based compensation award. The compensation committee, in addition to providing feedback to the chief executive officer, discusses its compensation recommendations with the full Board, and then the compensation committee approves the final compensation decisions.
Role of the Chief Executive Officer For other NEOs, the chief executive officer considers their performance and makes individual recommendations to the compensation committee on base salary, annual short-term performance-based cash bonus awards, and long-term equity-based compensation awards. The compensation committee reviews and discusses such recommendations, makes any modifications it deems appropriate, and then determines and approves the compensation for the other NEOs.
Compensation Committee Resources The compensation committee retained an independent compensation consultant to help evaluate a number of factors, including competitive market information, and to provide other resources and tools for the committee to evaluate and quantify each of the compensation elements for the NEOs. In addition, members of the compensation committee avail themselves of educational resources that are directly related to Board and compensation committee matters so they can stay current on critical and topical compensation trends and practices.

When does the Compensation Committee make decisions regarding short-term and long-term incentives?
We engage in a robust annual executive compensation process, as part of which we review and determine the executive compensation for our NEOs. When evaluating pay reported in the 2022 Summary Compensation Table against the Company’s performance, it is important to consider the timing of compensation decisions and which performance period informs each of the short-term and long-term incentive awards.
•The bonus opportunities and metrics for the 2022 annual short-term performance-based cash bonus awards were approved in February 2022, but the actual payouts of such 2022 awards were determined in February 2023 based on evaluation against the previously established metrics consisting of the Company’s financial performance and the executives’ individual performance - the timing of approval for bonus opportunities and metrics corresponded with the Board’s approval of the Company’s respective year’s business forecast; and
•Long-term incentive awards reported for 2022 were granted in March 2022 and 60% of such awards were made subject to vesting based on Company long-term performance (specifically, the three-year average adjusted
Molina Healthcare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | 31

earnings per share for each of the three fiscal years of 2022, 2023, and 2024), and 40% of such awards were made in the form of restricted stock awards, subject to vesting in equal one-third increments over three years from the grant date.
The table below describes the schedule and progression of events over the course of the year as considered by the compensation committee throughout the annual compensation cycle:

April to June | July to September | October to December | January to March
Review and evaluate stockholders vote on say-on-pay. Perform first among quarterly reviews (also completed in each subsequent quarter) of the Company’s performance. Such review provides transparency to the NEOs as to the likelihood of award achievement and provides some assurance to the Board that the metrics were sufficiently rigorous. | Evaluate and determine peer group to be used for compensation decisions for the NEOs for upcoming year. Review program design and align on changes to support the business strategy for the upcoming year. | Benchmark compensation programs and pay opportunities for the NEOs against the established peer group. | Full Board reviews and approves the business plan and financial forecast for the coming year. Evaluate prior year Company performance, individual performance of the NEOs, and determine current year compensation for NEOs and CEO goals and objectives for current year. After the Board has approved the Company's business plan and financial forecast for the coming year, hold a dedicated meeting for rigorous target-setting of performance metrics for the current year and target-setting for long-term performance metrics.

The Company’s Compensation Philosophy
Compensation Philosophy
The Company endeavors to pay its management team competitively within the marketplace in a manner that would ensure personnel are properly motivated to increase profitability and stockholder value. To that end, consistent with our overarching pay-for-performance philosophy, we are targeting total compensation opportunities for the Company’s executives within a reasonable range of the median relative to peer executives, with actual compensation set below median when performance is below target, at median for median performance, and above median when warranted by strong performance.
Our strategy in setting the 2022 executive compensation was to pay our NEOs base salaries at competitive market rates as determined by peer group comparisons, and to denominate the majority of NEOs’ target total compensation opportunities in both short-term and long-term incentive awards that can ultimately be earned based on both Company financial performance and the compensation committee’s assessment of each NEO’s individual performance. For the purposes of the annual short-term performance-based cash bonus awards, the compensation committee focused on the single-year achievement of adjusted net income per share, which constituted 70% of the short-term cash incentive opportunity, as well as the achievement, in accordance with the discretion of the compensation committee, of a wide variety of strategic and individual performance factors closely aligned with the chief executive officer’s 2022 goals and objectives, which constituted 30% of the short-term cash incentive opportunity. With respect to the 2022 long-term equity incentive program, performance is based on the Company’s three-year average adjusted earnings per share for each of the three fiscal years of 2022, 2023, and 2024. The compensation committee continues to assess the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other environmental factors that are difficult to plan for in a rapidly changing environment, including, without limitation, rising interest rates and inflation, on the Company’s results and its executive compensation programs, and to consider appropriate adjustments to such programs.
ESG as a Factor in Management’s Compensation
Since 2020, as evidence of our commitment to ESG considerations, the compensation committee added the achievement of ESG initiatives as a new goal and objective to the chief executive officer’s goals and objectives which are considered by the compensation committee for the individual performance component of the short-term cash incentive opportunity for the chief executive officer and the other NEOs. The achievement of ESG considerations was part of the compensation committee’s discretionary determination of the individual performance component of the executive officers’ 2022 short-term cash incentive opportunity. Because of the nature of the Company’s business, its ESG focus is more directed towards the achievement of social, human capital, and

governance concerns than would be the case with other companies, including those such as manufacturing or mineral extraction companies. In 2022, the MolinaCares Accord, and The Molina Healthcare Charitable Foundation, a non-profit organization formed and funded by the Company, continued to fund many community-based health care initiatives to improve the social fabric and healthcare of the communities we serve. The Molina Healthcare Charitable Foundation’s mission is to improve the health and lives of underserved communities. In early 2023, the Company issued its annual ESG report which is posted on the Company’s website at www.molinahealthcare.com. The Company’s ESG initiatives are also summarized in the section “Corporate Governance and Board of Directors Matters - Environmental, Social and Governance.”
Elements of Compensation

| CEO | Other NEOs | Description
Base Salary |  |  | Fixed cash compensation based on the market-competitive value of the skills and knowledge required for each position. Reviewed and adjusted as appropriate to maintain market competitiveness. No automatic or guaranteed increases.
Annual Incentives |  |  | Designed to reward annual results. Annual cash incentive was based 70% on Company financial metric of adjusted net income per share achievement, and 30% on the compensation committee’s discretion with regard to individual performance.
Long Term Incentives |  |  | Forward-looking equity awards intended to motivate and reward potential to drive future growth and align the interests of employees and stockholders. Grants in 2022 were awarded in the form of performance stock units based on the Company's three-year average adjusted earnings per share for the fiscal year 2022, and for the two-year period of fiscal years 2023, and 2024 (60% of the award value), and in the form of restricted stock awards that vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant (40% of the award value).

Primary Elements of Compensation. The Company’s compensation program consists of three primary elements: (i) base salary; (ii) annual short-term performance-based cash bonus awards; and (iii) long-term incentive compensation, including both a performance-based vesting component and a time-based vesting component. Additional compensation elements include various benefit plans, such as a 401(k) and deferred compensation plan, and severance and change in control benefits. In certain special instances, such as in the case of the recruitment of senior executives, the Company may be willing to offer a sign-on bonus and/or a substitutive equity award.
Retirement Plans. The Company does not maintain a retirement pension plan. However, the NEOs are eligible to participate in the Molina 401(k) Salary Savings Plan. The purpose of this program is to provide all Molina Healthcare employees with tax-advantaged savings opportunities and income after retirement. Eligible pay under the plans is limited to Internal Revenue Code annual limits. The Company makes a dollar-for-dollar match on the first four percent (4%) of salary electively deferred under the 401(k) Plan by all participants.
Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company has established an unfunded non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain key employees, including the NEOs. Under the deferred compensation plan, eligible participants can defer up to 75% of their base salary and up to 85% of their cash bonus to provide for tax-deferred growth. Eligible participants under the deferral program may select from approximately 14 investment options representing a broad array of asset classes, investment sectors, and spectrum of risk-based asset allocation portfolios.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The NEOs are eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan on an equal basis with all other employees. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows eligible employees to purchase from the Company shares of its common stock at a 15% discount to the market price during the successive six-month offering periods under the plan.
Molina Healthcare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | 33

Table of Contents
Health and Insurance Benefits. The NEOs are eligible to participate in Company-sponsored benefit programs on the same terms and conditions as those made available to salaried employees generally. Basic health benefits, life insurance, disability benefits, and similar programs are provided to ensure that employees have access to healthcare and income protection for themselves and their family members.
Severance and Change in Control Benefits. We have entered into employment agreements with two of our NEOs pursuant to which they are eligible under certain circumstances for severance and change in control benefits. The severance and change in control payments and benefits provided under the employment agreements are independent of other elements of compensation. Additionally, the NEOs are eligible for certain benefits provided for in the event of termination of employment within twenty-four (24) months of a change in control under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan established for employees of the Company with positions associate of vice presidents and above. A description of the material terms of our severance and change in control arrangements can be found later in this proxy statement under “Potential Payments Upon Change in Control or Termination”. The compensation committee believes that severance and change in control benefits are necessary to attract and retain senior management talent. Our agreements are designed to attract key employees, preserve executive morale and productivity, and encourage retention in the face of the potentially disruptive impact of an actual or potential change in control. We believe these benefits allow executives to assess potential takeover bids objectively without regard to the potential impact on their own job security.
Independent Compensation Consultant
As noted above, the compensation committee has engaged Aon’s Human Capital Solutions practice, a division of Aon plc (“Aon”), as its independent consultant since May 2021. Aon provides the committee with advice on the Company’s compensation programs for senior management and outside directors, including relevant comparative data on pay levels and structures.
Compensation Consultant Duties

● | Attends meetings of the compensation committee, including executive sessions without management present.
● | Reviews the Company’s executive compensation strategy and programs to ensure appropriateness and market-competitiveness.
● | Provides research, data analyses, survey information, and design expertise in developing compensation programs for executives and incentive programs for eligible employees.
● | Regularly updates the compensation committee on market trends and practices, and legislation pertaining to executive compensation and benefits.
● | Advises the compensation committee on the appropriate peer group for compensation of named NEOs.
● | Advises the compensation committee on director compensation.

Compensation Consultant Independence
The compensation committee reviewed the independence of its compensation consultant in light of SEC rules and NYSE listing standards, including taking into account the following factors: (1) other services being provided to the Company by the consulting firm; (2) fees paid by the Company as a percentage of the consulting firm’s total revenue; (3) policies or procedures maintained by the consulting firm that are designed to prevent a conflict of interest; (4) any business or personal relationships between the consulting firm and a member of the compensation committee; (5) any Company stock owned by the consulting firm; and (6) any business or personal relationships between the Company’s executive officers and the senior advisor. In light of these considerations, the compensation committee concluded that Aon’s work for the committee was rendered on a fully independent basis, and involved no conflict of interest.
Executive Pay Study for 2022
As context for the purposes of setting each NEO’s 2022 target total compensation opportunity, Aon conducted a compensation benchmark study to evaluate the positioning of current target total compensation opportunities for the Company’s NEOs in relation to those of peer companies (the “2022 Compensation Study”).
Molina Healthcare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | 34

Table of Contents
In the 2022 Compensation Study, Aon used the following 13-company peer group for the executive compensation study, consisting of the following publicly-traded companies, which were selected based on the nature of their services, market capitalization, and revenue.

1. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. | 8. HCA Healthcare, Inc.
2. Aflac Incorporated | 9. Humana, Inc.
3. Elevance Health, Inc. | 10. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings
4. Centene Corporation | 11. Quest Diagnostics Incorporated
5. Cigna Corporation | 12. Tenet Healthcare Corporation
6. Community Health Systems, Inc. | 13. Universal Health Services, Inc.
7. DaVita Inc. |

Based on the market study, as well as a desire to continue to emphasize the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, the compensation committee determined to leave the NEOs’ 2022 base salaries at the same levels as the 2021 base salaries, except for Messrs. Barlow and Woys whose 2022 base salaries were increased, as further discussed below. The compensation committee also determined to leave the 2022 target short-term performance-based cash bonus opportunity levels as a percent of base salaries for the NEOs unchanged, except for Mr. Zubretsky whose 2022 target short-term performance-based cash bonus opportunity level was increased from 150% of base salary to 200% of base salary. Further, based on the 2022 Compensation Study, the compensation set the 2022 long-term compensation for the NEOs within adequate range compared to the long-term compensation of similar executives of the Company’s peer selected group.
Base Salary
The objective of base salary is to reflect the executive’s fundamental job responsibilities. The base salary of our NEOs is the only element of their compensation that is fixed. In 2022, the NEOs were paid competitive base salaries determined by the evaluation of several factors, including the base salary levels of corresponding officers at peer companies as determined based on the 2022 Compensation Study, experience, critical skills, job history, and unique roles or abilities of the executive. Based on peer group compensation levels and considerations of the compensation philosophy discussed above, the compensation committee left unchanged the NEOs’ 2022 base salaries compared to their 2021 base salaries, except for Messrs. Barlow and Woys whose 2022 base salary were increased as reflected in the table below to bring their base salary within adequate range compared to compensation of similar executives of the Company’s selected peer group.

Annual Short-Term Performance-Based Cash Bonus Awards
Our compensation program provides for an annual short-term performance-based cash bonus award that is entirely performance linked. The objective of the program is to compensate executives based on the achievement of specific and objective annual goals that are intended to correlate closely with the growth of stockholder value. In February 2022, the compensation committee established opportunity levels and measures for the NEOs’ annual short-term performance-based cash bonus awards as follows:

Named Executive Officer | 2022 Target Cash Bonus Opportunity (% of Base Salary)
Joseph M. Zubretsky |
President and Chief Executive Officer | 200%
Mark L. Keim |
Chief Financial Officer | 100%
Jeff D. Barlow |
Chief Legal Officer and Secretary | 100%
James E. Woys |
Executive Vice President of Health Plan Services | 100%
Marc S. Russo |
Executive Vice President of Health Plans | 100%

The 2022 annual short-term performance-based cash bonus performance measures for all of the NEOs were based 70% on a fiscal year 2022 adjusted net income per share, and 30% on the discretionary evaluation of each NEO’s individual performance, as follows:
•70% of the bonus opportunity was based on the Company’s adjusted net income per share achievement in 2022. As reported in the Company’s February 9, 2022 release, the Company issued its full year 2022 earnings guidance of no less than $17.00 per share, representing a 2022 adjusted net income of $993 million. In reference to that baseline, the compensation committee established as the target for 100% payout of the 2022 short-term performance-based cash bonus the adjusted net income per diluted share of $17.25, with threshold for 50% payout being $15.75 adjusted income per diluted share, and with the maximum performance for 200% payout being $18.75 adjusted net income per diluted share, with actual levels adjusted for net COVID variance to plan. In fiscal year 2022, the Company achieved adjusted earnings per diluted share of $17.92 or $1,048 million, well in excess of the Company’s initial guidance.
•30% of the bonus opportunity was subject to the discretionary evaluation of each executive's individual performance (for the chief executive officer as evaluated by the compensation committee, and for the other NEOs based on the chief executive officer’s evaluation and recommendation to the compensation committee). The individual performance evaluation was based on a wide variety of factors closely aligned with the chief executive officer’s 2022 goals and objectives, including general executive performance, operational improvements, ESG, and miscellaneous other factors identified by the compensation committee in the exercise of its discretion. As with the adjusted net income per share metric, payment of the individual performance bonus was capped at the 200% level.
Based on the Company’s strong 2022 net income results of $17.92 per diluted share or $1,048 million, plus its achievement of most of its 2022 goals and objectives under the management and direction of Mr. Zubretsky and his senior management team, the compensation committee determined to award to Mr. Zubretsky a performance-based cash bonus amount at 185% of his total target. This 185% total payout factor consisted of: (i) performance under the 70% financial component at 181% of target; and (ii) performance under the 30% discretionary component at 194% of the 200% maximum. Combined, the aggregated performance factor was 185%. At Mr. Zubretsky’s recommendation, the compensation committee also awarded the same 185% payout factor with respect to the annual short-term performance-based cash bonus award to each of the other four NEOs.
The following table sets forth the fiscal year 2022 base salary levels for the NEOs, along with the respective levels of short-term performance-based cash bonus opportunity amounts, and finally the actual amount of the 2022 annual short-term performance-based cash bonus awards paid to each NEO.

Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Compensation Awards
In 2022, the NEOs were granted long-term incentive awards in the form of PSUs and restricted stock, with the actual PSUs and share numbers being determined by using the $311.88 closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the March 1, 2022 grant date. The compensation committee believes that the mix of PSUs and restricted stock in the proportions described below achieve the desired balance between incentivizing long-term financial performance and retention of the NEOs.
Sixty percent (60%) of the long-term equity-based incentive compensation awards conveyed to each NEO in 2022 was in the form of PSUs, and is based on the Company's three-year average adjusted earnings per share for the fiscal year 2022, and for the two-year period of fiscal years 2023 and 2024, to align the financial interests of our NEOs with the long-term financial interests of our stockholders.The vesting and actual payout of such PSUs will be determined by averaging the percentile levels of achievement of the adjusted earnings per share for each of the fiscal year 2022 and for the two-year period of fiscal years 2023 and 2024 (between 0% and 200%) as measured against the adjusted earnings per share benchmarks established by the compensation committee. This performance metric aligns the long-term incentive awards of both the chief executive officer and the other NEOs with our long-term strategic plan and stated business goal of sustaining profitable growth.
A detailed schedule of the equity-based awards granted to each of the NEOs is set forth in the table below.

| Performance Stock Units | Restricted Stock Awards |  |
Named Executive Officer | PSUs (#) | PSUs ($) | RSAs Total (#) | RSAs Total ($) | Total (#) | Total ($)
Joseph M. Zubretsky | 28,857 |  | $ | 8,999,921 |  | 19,238 |  | $ | 5,999,947 |  | 48,095 |  | $ | 14,999,868 |

At the time of grant on March 1, 2022, we believed that it would be marginally difficult for the Company to achieve the threshold average adjusted earnings per share, which would result in vesting of the awards at the 50% level. As of March 1, 2022, we believed it would be difficult, but achievable to reach the target average adjusted earnings per share level, which would result in vesting at the 100% level. Further, as of March 1, 2022, we believed it would be more difficult to achieve the maximum average adjusted earnings per share, which would result in vesting at the 200% level, which represents the cap on achievement. Achievement falling within the threshold level and the maximum level will be interpolated linearly to determine the appropriate PSUs payout. The PSUs will be settled by the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the number of PSUs as described herein. Any payout of the PSUs, if achieved, will occur when we report 2024 financial results in early 2025, and are able to calculate the three-year average adjusted earnings per share for this metric.
The compensation committee determined that the balance of 40% of the total long-term incentive awards to the NEOs shall be in the form of time-vested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”). These awards were made subject to

vesting in equal one-third increments over three years from the grant date, on each of March 1, 2023, March 1, 2024, and March 1, 2025.
2020 Long-Term Incentive Awards Achievement Status
As part of the 2020 long-term incentive award to the NEOs were granted performance stock units (2020 PSUs) as indicated in the table below. Such 2020 PSUs were subject to vesting based on the Company's cumulative net income over the three fiscal years of 2020, 2021, and 2022.
As a result of sustained strong financial performance in 2020, 2021, and 2022, the Company achieved a cumulative net income over the three fiscal years of 2020, 2021, and 2022 of $2,799 million, substantially exceeding the Company’s cumulative net income targets. This strong and sustained three-year financial performance resulted in vesting of the 2020 PSUs at the 200% maximum level, which was also the cap on achievement. Settlement of the 2020 PSUs vesting was made by issuance of shares of common stock of the Company on March 1, 2023 in the following amounts:

| Performance Stock Units |
Named Executive Officer | 2020 PSUs (#) | Shares Issued Upon Vesting (#)
Joseph M. Zubretsky | 67,319 |  | 134,638 |
Mark L. Keim | 12,240 |  | 24,480 |

Stock Ownership Guidelines for NEOs
The Board of Directors believes that executive officers should own and hold a reasonable number of shares of common stock of the Company to further align such officers’ interests and actions with those of the Company’s stockholders, and also to demonstrate confidence in the long-term prospects of the Company. The Company’s guidelines with respect to stock ownership by executive officers provide that executive officers of the Company shall own the minimum number of shares of the Company’s common stock with such value listed next to each such officer’s title below, calculated as a multiple of annual base salary.

Executive Officer | Value of Shares
Chief Executive Officer | 5X Annual Base Salary
Chief Financial Officer | 4X Annual Base Salary
Other NEOs | 2X Annual Base Salary

•The value of an executive officer’s holdings is based on the average closing price of a share of the Company’s stock for the previous calendar year.
•Shares that satisfy these guidelines may be those owned directly, through a trust, or by a spouse or child, and include shares purchased on the open market, vested or unvested shares of restricted stock, or exercised and retained option shares. Until an executive officer’s stock ownership requirement is met, the executive officer must retain at least 50% of all “net settled shares” (as defined above under “Stock Ownership Guidelines for Directors”) received from the vesting, delivery or exercise of equity awards granted under our equity award plans until the total value of all shares held equals or exceeds the executive officer’s applicable ownership threshold.
•Executive officers are expected to achieve the recommended ownership guidelines within five (5) years of assuming their positions. Once achieved, ownership of the guideline amount must be maintained for as long as the individual is subject to these guidelines. In addition, there may be certain instances where these guidelines would place an undue hardship on an executive officer. The compensation committee may therefore make exceptions to these guidelines as it deems appropriate.
Each of the NEOs of the Company satisfied the stock ownership guidelines as of December 31, 2022.

Clawback Policy
The Company has a Clawback Policy addressing the recovery by the Company of incentive-based compensation (cash and equity) from current and former executives of the Company in the event of any accounting restatement due to material noncompliance by the Company with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws (“Accounting Restatement”). Under the Clawback Policy, in the event of an Accounting Restatement, the Company will use reasonable efforts to recover from any current or former executive officer of the Company who received incentive-based compensation from the Company during the three (3)-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, based on the erroneous data, the excess of what would have been paid to the executive officer under the Accounting Restatement. In addition, the Clawback Policy provides that the Company will use reasonable efforts to recover from current and former executive officers, up to 100% (as determined by the Board or a duly established committee of the Board in its sole discretion as deemed appropriate based on the conduct involved) of such incentive-based compensation from the Company during the three (3)-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, if the Board or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, determines that an executive officer’s act or omission that contributed to the circumstances requiring the Accounting Restatement involved: (i) willful, knowing or intentional misconduct or a willful, knowing or intentional violation of any of the Company’s rules or any applicable legal or regulatory requirements in the course of the executive officer’s employment by, or otherwise in connection with, the Company or (ii) fraud in the course of the executive officer’s employment by, or otherwise in connection with, the Company.
Restrictions on Pledges of Shares by Directors and Executive Officers
The Company’s insider trading policy prohibits our directors and executive officers from, directly or indirectly, pledging shares of the Company’s common stock. For these purposes, “pledging” includes the intentional creation of any form of pledge, security interest, deposit, or lien, including the holding of shares in a margin account, that entitles a third-party to foreclose against, or otherwise sell, any shares, whether with or without notice, consent, or default. None of the directors or executive officers of the Company had any pledge of shares of the Company’s common stock.
Hedging Restrictions
As part of the Company’s insider trading policy, directors, executive officers (including the NEOs), and vice presidents of the Company or subsidiary executive officers (collectively, “Controlling Insiders”) are prohibited from engaging in “hedging” with respect to the Company’s securities. For these purposes, “hedging” includes any instrument or transaction, including put options and forward-sale contracts, through which a Controlling Insider offsets or reduces exposure to the risk of price fluctuations in a corresponding equity security. Speculative trading, short-swing trading, or short selling of stock of the Company by Controlling Insiders is expressly prohibited at all times, as is the buying or selling of any publicly traded option on stock of the Company and the establishment or use of margin accounts with a broker-dealer for the purpose of buying or selling stock of the Company.
Pay Versus Performance
In accordance with rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, we provide the following disclosure regarding executive compensation for our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and Non-PEO NEOs and Company performance for the fiscal years listed below.

(4) The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the peer companies (the “Compensation Peer Group”) used for compensation benchmarking purposes for the years reflected in the table above, which are listed in our Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of the proxy statement for the respective year. The Peer Group TSR is weighted according to the respective peer companies’ stock market capitalization on December 31, 2019. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the Compensation Peer Group, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
(5) We determined Adjusted EPS to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2022. Adjusted EPS represents adjusted net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income recognizing adjustments, net of tax. Adjustments represent additions and deductions to GAAP net income which include the non-cash impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, and the impact of certain expenses and other items that management believes are not indicative of longer-term business trends and operations. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2021 and 2020 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

(1)The amount in the Bonus column represents sign-on bonus.
(2)This column shows the aggregate grant date fair value of performance stock units (“PSUs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) granted under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan in the years shown. The aggregate grant date fair value is the amount the Company expects to expense for accounting purposes over the award’s vesting schedule. See the 2022 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for additional information, including the performance conditions and valuation assumptions as applicable, for PSUs and RSAs granted in 2022.
Generally, the grant date fair value presented does not correspond to the actual value that the NEOs will realize from the award. In particular, the actual value of PSUs received is different from the accounting expense because such awards depend on the Company’s performance. In accordance with SEC rules, the aggregate grant date fair value of the PSUs presented above is calculated based on the most probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date, which, for the PSUs, was target performance. If the maximum performance metrics are achieved for the PSUs, the grant date fair value of the 2022 PSUs would be $17,999,842 for Mr. Zubretsky, $4,499,804 for Mr. Keim, $3,299,690 for Mr. Barlow, $3,900,372 for Mr. Woys, and $3,299,690 for Mr. Russo.

(1)These columns show the possible payouts under the Company’s annual short-term performance-based cash bonus plan. Under this plan, for fiscal year 2022, Mr. Zubretsky’s bonus opportunity was 200% of his base salary; and the bonus opportunity for each of Messrs. Keim, Barlow, Woys, and Russo was 100% of such executive’s base salary. For each of the named executives, 70% of the bonus opportunity related to an adjusted net income per share performance measure and 30% was subject to the compensation committee’s evaluation of each executive’s individual performance. The target bonus level was based on the achievement of adjusted net income per share in 2022 that corresponds with the high end of the range of the Company’s 2022 preliminary guidance. See further discussion regarding these metrics at “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Elements of Compensation.” The actual amounts earned and paid to the NEOs under the 2022 plan are presented in the section titled “2022 Summary Compensation Table-Non-Equity Incentive Plan Comp.”
(2)These columns show the estimated future payouts of PSUs under the awards granted in 2022. For each of the NEOs, with respect to the PSUs granted in 2022, the vesting of the PSUs is based entirely on the achievement of a single financial metric: the Company’s three-year average adjusted earnings per share for each of the three fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024. The PSUs will be settled by the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the number of PSUs as described herein, with all amounts interpolated linearly.

Table of Contents
(1)Number of PSUs in the table are reflected at 100% vesting. The PSUs vested on March 1, 2023 at 200% and were settled by the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in the following amounts: 134,638 shares to Mr. Zubretsky, 24,480 shares to Mr. Keim, 19,584 shares to Mr. Barlow, 19,584 shares to Mr. Woys, and 42,314 shares to Mr. Russo.
(2)With regard to the multi-year financial targets established by the compensation committee for the vesting and payout of three-year PSUs, in all instances, at the time of the grant, the compensation committee set the threshold achievement metric at a level the committee believed would be difficult but achievable; the committee set the target achievement metric at a level consistent with strong and sustained financial performance with significant growth over time; and the committee set the maximum achievement metric at a level that would be extremely difficult to achieve and representing significant out-performance beyond reasonable expectations. The PSUs are subject to vesting as described below based on achievement of the financial targets (between 0% and 200%) as described herein, against the benchmarks established by the compensation committee, and will be settled by the issuance of shares of common stock with all amounts interpolated linearly.
(3)The vesting and actual payout of the PSUs will be determined by averaging the percentile levels of achievement of the adjusted earnings per share for each of the fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023. Based on the Company’s 2022 results, we achieved 2022 adjusted earnings per share corresponding to the 181% level for the 2022 metric benchmarks. As of March 1, 2023, we believed that: (i) it would be marginally difficult for the Company to achieve the threshold 2023 adjusted earnings per share, (ii) it would be difficult but achievable to reach the 2023 target adjusted earnings per share, and (iii) more difficult to achieve the maximum 2023 adjusted earnings per share.
(4)The vesting and actual payout of the PSUs will be determined by averaging the percentile levels of achievement of the adjusted earnings per share for each of the fiscal year 2022 and for the two-year period of fiscal years 2023 and 2024. Based on the Company’s 2022 results, we achieved 2022 adjusted earnings per share corresponding to the 181% level for the 2022 metric benchmarks. As of March 1, 2023, we believed that: (i) it would be marginally difficult for the Company to achieve the threshold 2023-2024 adjusted earnings per share, (ii) it would be difficult but achievable to reach the 2023-2024 target adjusted earnings per share, and (iii) more difficult to achieve the maximum 2023-2024 adjusted earnings per share. The PSUs will be settled by the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the number of PSUs as described herein, with all amounts interpolated linearly.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Pursuant to the Company’s unfunded and non-qualified Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan, eligible participants may defer up to 75% of their base salary and up to 85% of their bonus so that it can grow on a tax deferred basis. The investment options available to an executive under the deferral program consist of approximately 14 investment options representing a broad array of asset classes, investment sectors, and spectrum of risk-based asset allocation portfolios.
The following table provides information for each NEO regarding such individual’s accounts in the Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended to date, as of December 31, 2022.

Potential Payments Upon Change in Control or Termination
We have entered into certain employment and change in control agreements with our NEOs that may require the Company to provide compensation to applicable NEOs in the event of a termination of employment or a change of control of the Company. Payment of severance benefits to the NEOs is contingent upon the executive signing a release agreement waiving claims against the Company.

Employment and Change in Control Agreements
The Company entered into employment agreements with each of Mr. Zubretsky and Mr. Barlow, which provide that such executives’ employment will continue until terminated by the Company, or the executive resigns. Although Messrs. Keim, Woys, and Russo do not have employment agreements with the Company, they each have an employment offer letter that provides for a severance payment for termination of such executive’s employment by the Company without cause.
Molina Healthcare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | 49

Table of Contents
Termination of Employment Without Cause, Retirement, Disability, or Death
As described below, the employment agreements (or, with respect to Messrs. Keim, Woys, and Russo, such executive’s employment offer letter) provide such executives with certain benefits in the event their employment is terminated by us without cause or the executive resigns for good reason, or if their employment is terminated by us without cause within a certain period of time following a change of control, subject to the executive executing a release in favor of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Zubretsky’s employment agreement also provides for certain benefits which he would be entitled to receive in case of retirement, disability, or death.
The employment agreement with Mr. Zubretsky provides that if he is terminated by us without cause or he resigns for good reason, he will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the sum of 150% of his base salary then in effect and 150% of his annual bonus then in effect. Additionally, he would be entitled to, accelerated vesting of all time-based equity compensation and, accelerated vesting of all unvested equity-based awards that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, on a prorated basis, subject to the achievement then-to-date of the identified performance metrics at or above the specified threshold level for vesting. Such proration shall be based on the number of fiscal quarters that have elapsed over the relevant performance measurement period (typically 12 fiscal quarters) through the fiscal quarter in which termination occurs, multiplied by the projected final achievement level of the relevant metric based on straight-line extrapolation to the end of the full measurement period. Further, he would also be entitled to extension of the exercise period for the vested portion of any stock option to three years following his last day of employment. The employment agreement includes confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, and non-disparagement obligations. The non-solicitation and non-competition obligations by their terms expire 18 months after Mr. Zubretsky’s last day of employment with the Company.
Further, pursuant to the employment agreement, if Mr. Zubretsky voluntarily retires at or after age 65, and provided that he gives the Company one year advance notice of his retirement and executes a release of claims in the Company’s favor, upon his retirement he will be entitled to receive accelerated vesting of all time-based equity compensation; accelerated vesting at the greater of target and projected final achievement of any then outstanding awards that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, and extension of the exercise period for the vested portion of any stock option to three years following his last day of employment. In the event the Company were to give Mr. Zubretsky 90 days advance written notice of his termination by the Company without “Cause,” Mr. Zubretsky may elect to exercise his retirement rights within such 90-day period. If Mr. Zubretsky’s services are terminated by reason of his death or disability (as defined in his employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive accelerated vesting of all time-based equity compensation and accelerated vesting at the greater of target and projected final achievement of any then outstanding awards that are subject to performance-based conditions.
The employment agreement with Mr. Barlow provides that if his employment is terminated by us without cause or he resigns for good reason, he will be entitled to receive one year’s (1x) base salary, a prorated termination bonus for the year of the employment termination, a cash payment of $50,000 for health and welfare benefits, and accelerated vesting of all time-based equity compensation. The employment agreement defines “termination bonus” as 100% of Mr. Barlow’s base salary then in effect. The employment agreement includes confidentiality, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement obligations. The non-solicitation obligations by their terms expire 12 months after the executive’s last day of employment with the Company.
The employment offer letters for Messrs. Keim, Russo, and Woys provide that if their employment is terminated by the Company without cause, they will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to 12 times the respective executive officer’s monthly base salary then in effect.
Termination of Employment Without Cause Following a Change of Control
The employment agreement with Mr. Zubretsky further provides that if termination occurs within 24 months following a change of control, he will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to the sum of 200% of his annual base salary then in effect and 200% of his target annual bonus then in effect, accelerated vesting of all time-based equity compensation, accelerated vesting of any then outstanding awards that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions based on the greater of: (i) target performance, and (ii) the projected final achievement of the performance metric through the measurement period based on the straight-line extrapolation of actual achievement through the end of the relevant performance measurement period, and extension of the exercise period for the vested portion of any stock option to three years following his last day of employment.
The employment agreement with Mr. Barlow provides that if termination occurs within one year following a change in control, he will receive all of the benefits he is entitled to receive under his change in control agreement with us. Under the change in control agreement with Mr. Barlow, if his employment is terminated by the Company without cause or is terminated by him for good reason within 12 months of a change in control, we will provide him with a severance payment equal to two times (2x) his annual base salary then in effect, plus a pro rata portion of his target
Molina Healthcare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | 50

bonus for the year of termination (his target bonus being 100% of his annual base salary), full vesting of all unvested equity compensation and 401(k) employer contributions, and a cash payment for all the Company’s group health benefits of $50,000.
The Company has adopted a change in control severance plan, as amended to date (the “Change in Control Severance Plan”) pursuant to which all employees with positions of associate vice president and above are entitled to receive certain separation benefits in the event of a termination of employment within two years following a change in control of the Company. The NEOs are entitled to receive such separation benefits under the plan only to the extent that such separation benefits would be in addition to or in excess of the benefits provided under their employment/change of control agreements. Pursuant to such plan, senior vice presidents and above would be entitled to receive two times (2x) their base salary, payment of their annual short-term incentive cash bonus (equal to the fiscal year target bonus opportunity) on a prorated basis based on the date of termination, and full vesting of all unvested equity-based compensation.
The Change in Control Severance Plan provides that a participant’s performance-based equity compensation will vest based upon the greater of: (1) target performance, based on the assumption that such target performance had been achieved, or (2) the projected final achievement of the performance metric through the measurement period, provided that where applicable, such projected final achievement shall be based on straight-line extrapolation of actual achievement (as of the termination date) through the end of the respective performance metric period; except to the extent vesting is determined by reference to any completed fiscal year, then actual performance for such completed fiscal year shall be used.
The Change in Control Severance Plan also provides that if the participant elects continued healthcare coverage under COBRA, the Company will, for a period of up to eighteen (18) months following the participant’s termination of employment, subsidize a portion of the participant’s COBRA premiums in an amount equal to the difference between the full cost for such COBRA coverage and the amount that the participant would be required to pay for such coverage as an active employee.
Change in Control
A “change in control” generally means a merger or other change in corporate structure after which the majority of our stockholders are no longer stockholders, a sale of substantially all of our assets, or our approved dissolution or liquidation. “Cause” is generally defined as the occurrence of one or more acts of unlawful actions involving moral turpitude or gross negligence or willful failure to perform duties or intentional breach of obligations under the employment agreement. “Good reason” generally means the occurrence of one or more events that have an adverse effect on the executive’s terms and conditions of employment, including any reduction in the executive’s base salary, a material reduction of the executive’s benefits or substantial diminution of the executive’s incentive awards or fringe benefits, a material adverse change in the executive’s position, duties, reporting relationship, responsibilities or status with us, a material relocation of the executive’s principal place of employment from his or her prior place of employment (as set forth in the agreements), or an uncured breach of the employment agreement. However, no reduction of salary or benefits will be good reason if the reduction applies to all executives proportionately.
Potential Payments upon Change in Control or Termination
The table below reflects the approximate amount of compensation payable to each of the NEOs of the Company in the event of termination of such executive’s employment under the following scenarios: voluntary termination, retirement, involuntary not-for-cause termination, for cause termination, and involuntary for good reason termination following a change in control, disability, or death. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2022, and exclude ordinary course amounts earned or benefits accrued as a result of prior service during the year. The NEOs would receive other payments and benefits to which they were already entitled or vested on such date, including amounts under the Deferred Compensation Plan under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table. The various amounts listed are estimates only. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company.

Molina Healthcare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | 52

Table of Contents
Based on this information, for fiscal 2022, the ratio of the median of the total direct compensation of all employees (other than the chief executive officer) to the total direct compensation of our chief executive officer was 1 to 293.
Our median employee pay ratio was calculated in accordance with the requirements of item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. With respect to the total direct compensation of our chief executive officer, we used the compensation components reported in our 2022 Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement. Our calculation of the total direct compensation of our median employee includes all employees, part-time or full-time, excluding our chief executive officer, who were employed on December 1, 2022. The median employee for the 2022 calculation is a full-time employee.
Pay elements that were included in the total direct compensation calculation for each employee consisted of the following:
•Salary received in fiscal year 2022;
•Short term incentives (cash bonus);
•Long term incentives (equity-based awards);
•Company-paid 401(K) plan match (4%) made in fiscal year 2022; and
•All other compensation (stipends, sign-on bonus, one-time bonus, etc.).
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The persons listed on page 24 of this proxy statement were the members of the compensation committee during 2022. No member of the compensation committee was a part of a “compensation committee interlock” during 2022 as described under SEC rules. In addition, none of our executive officers served as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity that would constitute a “compensation committee interlock.” No member of the compensation committee had any material interest in a transaction with Molina Healthcare. Except for Joseph M. Zubretsky, no director is a current or former employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Fiscal Year 2023 Compensation
In February 2023, the compensation committee determined to continue the NEO compensation program for 2023 without material changes to the 2022 NEO compensation program.
Fiscal Year 2023 Base Salaries
Based on peer group compensation levels and the Company’s compensation philosophy, the compensation committee determined to leave unchanged the NEOs’ 2023 base salaries as compared to their 2022 base salaries, except for Mr. Russo whose base salary was increased, as indicated in the table below. Mr. Russo’s base salary increase reflects his outstanding performance and contributions to the Company.

Fiscal Year 2023 Short-Term Performance-Based Cash Bonus Awards
In February 2023, the compensation committee established the annual short-term performance-based cash bonus opportunity levels and measures for our NEOs. For the 2023 annual short-term performance based cash bonus, in addition to a 70% financial metric for our 2023 adjusted net income, and as part of the 30% of the bonus which is subject to the discretionary evaluation of each NEO’s individual performance, the compensation committee has also added a clinical performance metric tied to the reduction in the pre-term birth rate for black mothers who are members of our Illinois health plan.
The 2023 annual short-term performance-based cash bonus opportunity levels for the NEOs were left unchanged from their 2022 levels and are reflected in the table below. Such determination was made by the compensation committee considering several factors including the 2023 Compensation Study. The 2023 annual short-term performance-based cash bonus awards for the NEOs, other than the chief executive officer, are subject to payout pursuant to the recommendations of the chief executive officer to the compensation committee, as approved by the compensation committee. The compensation committee retains full discretion to alter and determine the short-term performance-based cash bonus amounts for 2023 prior to payout.
For the Company’s NEOs, the following table sets forth the fiscal year 2023 base salary levels, the target bonus opportunity as a percentage of base salary, and the two general categories of target bonus opportunity:

Effective as of March 1, 2023, the NEOs were granted long-term incentive awards in the form of performance stock units (“PSUs”) and restricted stock, with the actual PSUs and restricted stock share numbers being determined by using the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of that same March 1, 2023 grant date of $273.80.
The compensation committee determined that 60% of the long-term incentive award to the NEOs shall be in the form of PSUs subject to vesting based on achievement of a single Company financial metric consisting of the cumulative adjusted earnings per share over the three fiscal years of 2023, 2024, and 2025, which if achieved would be payable at the respective levels on March 1, 2026. Upon vesting, the PSUs will be settled by the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company.
The compensation committee determined that the balance of 40% of the total long-term incentive awards to the NEOs shall be in the form of time-vested restricted stock awards. These awards are subject to vesting in equal one-third increments over three years, on each of March 1, 2024, March 1, 2025, and March 1, 2026.

Proposal 3 - Advisory Vote on the Frequency of a Stockholder Vote on the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers
You are voting on a proposal, commonly known as a “say-when-on-pay” proposal, which gives our stockholders the opportunity to advise our Board of Directors how often we should conduct an advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of our named executive officers through the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that a non-binding advisory vote of Molina Healthcare’s stockholders to approve the compensation of Molina Healthcare’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the CD&A, the compensation tables, and narrative discussion, shall be held at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) every year, (ii) every two years, or (iii) every three years.”
Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires us, at least once every six years, to allow our stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on how often we should seek future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers in our proxy materials for future stockholder meetings. The Board of Directors has determined that continuing to hold an advisory vote every one year on executive compensation is the most appropriate alternative for our Company. In formulating its recommendation, the Board considered that the Company’s executive compensation policies are designed to promote a long-term connection between pay and performance and concluded that an advisory vote every year will allow our stockholders to provide direct input on the Company’s long-term compensation philosophy, policies, and practices. The Board’s decision was based further on the premise that this recommendation could be modified in the future if it becomes apparent that a vote every one year is not meaningful or a less frequent vote is recommended by best corporate governance practices.
The enclosed proxy card gives you four choices for voting on this item. You can choose whether the say-on-pay vote should be conducted every one year, every two years, or every three years. You may also abstain from voting on this item. With respect to this proposal, the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation, the alternative receiving the greatest number of votes - every one year, every two years, or every three years - will be the frequency that stockholders approve. You are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation on this item.
Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board. However, our Board values the opinions of our stockholders and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering how frequently we should conduct an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers as it deems appropriate.

Proposal 4 - Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Appointment
The firm of Ernst & Young LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2022. The audit committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP to continue in that capacity for 2023 and is submitting this matter to our stockholders for their ratification. In the event this proposal is not approved, a selection of another independent registered public accounting firm for us will be made by the audit committee. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at the annual meeting, will be given an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. Notwithstanding ratification by our stockholders, the audit committee reserves the right to replace our independent registered public accounting firm at any time.

ü | THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP.

Audit Committee Report
The audit committee (“committee”) operates under a charter that specifies the scope of the committee’s responsibilities and how it carries out those responsibilities.
The Board of Directors has determined that all four members of the committee are independent based upon the standards adopted by the Board, which incorporate the independence requirements under applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, the system of internal controls, including internal control over financial reporting, risk management, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (“independent auditors”), is responsible for performing the integrated independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”), expressing an opinion as to the conformity of the financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and auditing management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes and procedures. The committee relies, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on the representations made by management regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity, and that such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The committee also relies on the opinions of the independent auditors on the consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
The committee’s meetings facilitate communication among the members of the committee, management, the internal auditors, and the Company’s independent auditors. The committee separately met with each of the internal and independent auditors with and without management, to discuss the results of their examinations and their observations and recommendations regarding the Company’s internal controls. The committee also discussed with the Company’s independent auditors all communications required by generally accepted auditing standards.
The committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 with management, the internal auditors, and the Company’s independent auditors.
The committee has received the written disclosures required by PCAOB Rule 3526 — “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence.” The committee discussed with the independent auditors any relationships that may have an impact on their objectivity and independence, and satisfied itself as to the auditors’ independence.
The committee has reviewed and approved the amount of fees paid to the independent auditors for audit, audit related, and tax compliance services. The committee concluded that the provision of services by the independent auditors is compatible with the maintenance of their independence.

Table of Contents
Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions, and subject to the limitations on our role and responsibilities described above and in the committee charter, the committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“Annual Report”) for filing with the SEC.

Audit Committee’s Evaluation and Oversight of Independent Auditors
The audit committee engaged Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as our independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2022. The audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the independent external audit firm retained to audit our financial statements. In order to assure the continuing independence of our auditors, the audit committee periodically evaluates whether there should be a regular rotation of the independent audit firm. The committee ensures that the mandated rotation of EY’s personnel occurs routinely and is directly involved in the selection of EY’s lead engagement partner.
Evaluation of Independent Auditors
The audit committee annually evaluates the performance of our independent auditors, including the senior audit engagement team, and determines whether to reengage the current independent auditors or consider other audit firms. Factors considered by the audit committee in deciding whether to retain the independent auditors include:
•EY’s national capabilities;
•EY’s technical expertise and knowledge of the Company’s operations and industry;
•the quality and candor of EY’s communications with the audit committee and management;
•EY’s independence;
•the quality and efficiency of the services provided by EY, including input from management on EY’s performance and how effectively EY demonstrated its independent judgment, objectivity and professional skepticism;
•external data on audit quality and performance, including recent PCAOB reports on EY and its peer firms; and
•the appropriateness of EY’s fees, EY’s tenure as independent auditors, including the benefits of a longer tenure, and the controls and processes in place that help ensure EY’s continued independence.
The benefits of EY’s longer tenure include the following:
•Enhanced audit quality - EY’s significant institutional knowledge and deep expertise of the Company’s business, accounting policies and practices and internal control over financial reporting enhance audit quality.
•Competitive fees - because of EY’s familiarity with the Company, audit and other fees are competitive compared to EY’s peer companies.
•Avoidance of costs associated with new auditor - engaging new independent auditors would be costly and require a significant time commitment which could lead to management distractions.
Additionally, the Company already has in place controls and processes that help ensure EY’s continued independence:
•Audit Committee oversight - oversight includes regular private sessions with EY, discussion with EY about the scope of audit and business imperatives, a comprehensive annual evaluation when determining whether to reengage EY, and direct involvement by the audit committee and its chair in the selection of the lead assurance engagement partner and coordinating partner in connection with the mandated rotation of these positions.
•Limits on non-audit services - the audit committee pre-approves audit and permissible non-audit services provided by EY in accordance with its pre-approval policy.
•EY’s internal independence process - EY conducts periodic internal reviews of its audit and other work, assesses the adequacy of partners and other personnel working on the Company’s account and rotates the lead assurance engagement partner and other partners on the engagement consistent with independence requirements. A new lead engagement partner was designated in 2019.
•Strong regulatory framework - EY, as an independent registered public accounting firm, is subject to PCAOB inspections, “Big 4” peer reviews, and PCAOB and SEC oversight.

Table of Contents
Oversight of Independent Auditors
In its meetings with EY’s representatives, the audit committee asks them to address, and discusses their responses to, several questions that the audit committee believes are particularly relevant to its oversight.
These questions include:
•Are there any significant accounting judgments or estimates made by management in preparing the financial statements that would have been made differently had the independent auditors prepared and been responsible for the financial statements?
•Based on the independent auditors’ experience, and their knowledge of the Company, do the Company’s financial statements fairly present to investors, with clarity and completeness, the Company’s financial position and performance for the reporting period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and SEC disclosure requirements?
•Based on the independent auditors’ experience, and their knowledge of the Company, has the Company implemented internal controls and internal audit procedures that are appropriate for the Company?
The audit committee believes that asking these questions to help focus its discussions with EY promotes a more meaningful dialogue that provides a basis for its oversight judgment.
The audit committee also discussed with the independent auditors those matters required to be discussed by the auditors with the audit committee under the rules adopted by the PCAOB. The audit committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditors’ communication with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent auditors their independence. The audit committee considered with the independent auditors whether the provision of non-audit services provided by them to the Company during 2022 was compatible with their independence.
Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Ernst & Young LLP served as our independent registered public accountant during 2022 and 2021. Fees earned by Ernst & Young LLP for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

(1)Includes fees related to the fiscal year audit and interim reviews, notwithstanding when the fees were billed or when the services were rendered.
(2)Includes fees for services rendered from January through December of the fiscal year, notwithstanding when the fees were billed.
The audit committee has considered the nature of the services underlying these fees and does not consider them to be incompatible with the independent registered public accountant’s independence.
The audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. This policy generally provides that the Company will not engage its independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services
Molina Healthcare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | 60

Table of Contents
unless the service is specifically approved in advance by the audit committee, or the engagement is entered into pursuant to one of the pre-approval procedures described below. For each proposed service, the independent auditors are required to provide detailed supporting documentation at the time of approval to permit the audit committee to make a determination whether the provision of such service would impair the independent auditors’ independence.
From time to time, the audit committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm during the next 12 months. Any such pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or type of services to be provided and is also generally subject to a maximum dollar amount. The audit committee has also delegated to the chairman of the audit committee the authority to approve audit or non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm. Any approval of services by the chairman of the audit committee pursuant to this delegated authority is reported on at the next meeting of the audit committee. All audit-related fees and tax fees for 2022 were pre-approved by the audit committee or the audit committee chairman.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC, and to furnish us with copies of the forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Purchases and sales of our equity securities by such persons are published on our website at www.molinahealthcare.com. As a practical matter, the Company assists its directors and officers by monitoring transactions and completing and filing Section 16 reports on their behalf. Based on our review of the copies of such reports, on our involvement in assisting our reporting persons with such filings, and on written representations from our reporting persons, we believe that, during 2022, each of our officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders complied with all such filing requirements on a timely basis, except with respect to a technical error involving our third-party vendor platform used for filing Section 16 reports, which resulted in the untimely filing by one (1) day of seven (7) forms 4 on October 5, 2022 for six (6) of our directors (Ms. Romney, and Messrs. Lockhart, Schapiro, Orlando, Wolf, and Zoretic) in connection with their quarterly stock grants made by the Company on October 1, 2022, and for Maurice S. Hebert, our chief accounting officer, in connection with shares of the Company’s common stock that were applied to satisfy withholding of taxes triggered by the vesting on October 1, 2022 of a prior stock award to Mr. Hebert.

Management Analysis of Material Effects of Compensation Plans

Householding
Under SEC rules, a single set of annual reports and proxy statements may be sent to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. Each stockholder continues to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and reduces mailing and printing expenses. In accordance with a notice sent to certain stockholders who shared a single address, only one annual report and proxy statement will be sent to that address unless any stockholder at that address requested that multiple sets of documents be sent. However, if any stockholder who agreed to householding wishes to receive a separate annual report or proxy statement for 2023 or
Molina Healthcare, Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement | 63

in the future, he or she may telephone toll-free 1-866-540-7095 or write to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. Stockholders sharing an address who wish to receive a single set of reports may do so by contacting their banks or brokers, if they are beneficial holders, or by contacting Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at the address set forth above, if they are record holders.

Shares for which you are the beneficial owner but not the stockholder of record also may be voted electronically during the annual meeting. However, even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the annual meeting.

What will I need in order to attend the Annual Meeting?
You are entitled to attend the virtual annual meeting only if you were a stockholder of record as of March 8, 2023, the record date for the Annual Meeting, or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. You may attend the annual meeting, vote, and submit a question during the annual meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MOH2023 and using your 16‐digit control number to enter the meeting. If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares as a beneficial owner in street name, you may be required to provide proof of beneficial ownership, such as your most recent account statement as of the record date, a copy of the voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not comply with the procedures outlined above, you will not be admitted to the virtual annual meeting.
Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
Yes. Just send in a new proxy card with a later date, or cast a new vote by telephone or Internet, or send a written notice of revocation to Molina Healthcare’s Corporate Secretary at 200 Oceangate, Suite 100, Long Beach, California 90802. If you attend the annual meeting and want to vote in at the annual meeting, you can request that your previously submitted proxy not be used.
What if I do not vote for the three proposals listed on my proxy card?
If you return a signed proxy card without indicating your vote, in accordance with the Board’s recommendation, your shares will be voted as follows:
1.For the nine director nominees listed on the card;
2.For the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers;
3.For the approval, on an advisory basis, of conducting an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers every year; and
4.For the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023.
Can my broker vote my shares for me on each of the proposals?
Proposals 1, 2, and 3 are not considered routine matters under NYSE rules, and brokers will not be permitted to vote on such proposals if the beneficial owners fail to provide voting instructions. Please vote your proxy so your vote can be counted.
Proposal 4 is considered a routine matter under the NYSE rules on which brokers will be permitted to vote in their discretion even if the beneficial owners do not provide voting instructions.
Can my shares be voted if I do not return my proxy card and do not attend the annual meeting?
If you do not vote your shares held in street name, your broker can vote your shares on matters that the NYSE has ruled discretionary. As noted above, Proposals 1, 2, and 3 are not discretionary items. However, Proposal 4 (to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP) is a discretionary item, and thus NYSE member brokers that do not receive instructions from beneficial owners may vote such shares at their discretion for such proposal.
If you do not vote the shares registered directly in your name, not in the name of a bank or broker, your shares will not be voted.
Could other matters be decided at the annual meeting?
We do not know of any other matters that will be considered at the annual meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof), the proxies will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders.
What happens if the meeting is postponed or adjourned?
Your proxy will still be good and may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is voted.
